Local math scores soarin statewide testing
By Pamela [email protected]
Increases in scores on math tests — some by double-digit percentage points — were recorded by students in the Vicksburg Warren School District, particularly at the secondary level, according to results made public today by the Mississippi Department of Education.
Nearly 30 percent more stu-dents in the district passed the algebra test this year than last year, 71.5 versus 42.1, though the district lagged behind the state’s
average of 79.6 percent passing.
On the MCT2 tests of elemen-tary stu-dents, 47 per-cent scored proficient and above in math, com-pared to 32 percent last year, and 74 percent
scored basic or above, an increase of 8 points over 2009.
“We’re delighted; we’re not satisfied,” said VWSD board of trustees president Zelma-rine Murphy. “We have made some gains and we are proud of that, but there is still work to be done.”
“Everybody is pleased that there is growth,” said interim Superintendent Donald Oakes. “We’ve done better, and we are going to do better.”
Broken down by school, the results show that more than 50 percent of stu-dents at Vicksburg High School passed the state Subject Area Test in math, an increase of 33 percent-age points over last year’s results. At Warren Central High School, 79.3 percent of students passed the math test, an increase of 22.4 per-

Across state, third-grade reading scores upBy The Associated Press
JACKSON — The Missis-sippi Department of Educa-tion has released the results of statewide curriculum tests, and officials are con-cerned about the reading level of some students.
Almost 50 percent of the state’s third-graders received high scores of proficient or advanced on the Mississippi Curriculum Test language arts section. That is a slight increase from 2009, when 47.5
percent of third-graders in the state scored advanced or proficient on the test.
Deputy State Superin-tendent of Education Lynn House said officials are con-cerned because the goal of the state Board of Education is to have all outgoing third-graders reading on grade level by 2020.
Research shows students who are unable to read by third grade are more likely to drop out of school later.
The percentage of high
school students who passed the English 2 test dipped slightly to 68 percent from 69 percent. The percentage of students to pass the Alge-bra 1 test rose to 79.6 percent from 72 percent.
Students have to pass all four subject area tests and all their courses to graduate.
The Algebra 1 and English 2 tests require students to be able to read questions and use critical thinking skills to derive an answer.
Organizers lay out plan of actionBy Ben [email protected]
Sponsors of a move to restore Mar-garet’s Grocery Thursday night asked locals for donations of money, labor and expertise, as well as for votes in an online poll that could win a $50,000 grant for the North Washington Street folk-art landmark.
“Time is of the essence,” said Mary Margaret Miller, heritage programs director at the Jackson-based Missis-sippi Arts Commission.
“Margaret’s Grocery is something that we all love and care about a lot,” she said. “We need to get moving.”
Angst about Margaret’s has been building since fall, when longtime owner Margaret Rogers Dennis died. She was survived by her husband, the Rev. H.D. “Preacher” Dennis, 95, who married Margaret in the early 1980s.
Together, the two transformed Marga-ret’s Grocery from a roadside store to a repository of folk and religious imagery. They filled the yard

22 miles of oilinvisible in Gulf,scientists confirmBy The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The oil is there, at least 22 miles of it. You just can’t see it.
A lot of the crude that spewed from BP’s ruptured well is still in the Gulf of Mexico, but it’s far below the surface and invisible. And it’s likely to linger for months on end, scientists said Thursday in the first conclusive evidence of an underwater plume of oil from the disaster.
The plume consists of droplets too small for the eye to see, more than a half-mile down, said research-ers who mapped it with high-tech sensors.
Scientists fear it could be a threat to certain small fish and crustaceans deep
in the ocean. They will have plenty of time to study it for answers.
In the cold, 40-degree water, the oil is degrad-ing at one-tenth the pace at which it breaks down at the surface. That means “the plumes could stick around for quite a while,” said Ben Van Mooy of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Insti-tution in Massachusetts, a co-author of the research, published online in the journal Science.
Earlier this month, top federal officials declared the oil in the spill was mostly “gone,” and it is gone in the sense that you can’t see it. But the chemi-cal ingredients of the oil
State Medicaid launcheselectronic health recordsBy Emily Wagster PettusThe Associated Press
JACKSON — Missis-sippi’s Medicaid program launched a new computer-ized health records system Thursday, and officials said it could help improve patient care.
As part of the system, phy-sicians can send electronic messages rather than hand-written notes to pharma-cies to order prescriptions for patients on Medicaid, a government health pro-gram for the needy.
Medicaid spokesman Francis Rullan said elec-tronic records should give doctors, dentists, pharma-
cists and other providers better access to patients’ health histories. He said many Medicaid patients seek care in emergency rooms or in clinics where they see whichever doctor is available.
“They are more at risk for prescriptions either being doubled or tripled by various providers or for having bad drug interac-tions because providers are not aware of what they are taking,” Rullan said.
Shared Health, a com-pany based in Chattanooga, Tenn., has a four-year, $9.5 million contract to run the electronic health records system.
Bolton brothers jailedin homicide, robberyFrom staff reports
Two Bolton brothers remained in jail this morn-ing, charged in the shoot-ing death Aug. 2 of a man whose body was dumped between Bolton and Edwards.
James “Delro” Atkinson, 18, and Lipatrick Ander-son, 21, were being held without bond in the Hinds County Detention Center in Raymond, a jail spokes-man said.
They were arrested at their home Wednesday
night and charged with kill-ing Robert Hill, a 23-year-old Bolton man who was found shot to death on the side of Billy Fields Road. 2, Lt. Jeffrey Scott of the Hinds County Sher-riff’s Department said this morning.
“We believe robbery was the motive,” said Scott, but would not elaborate. He said more arrests are possible.
Bolton is a small, close-knit town, Scott said, and

A Vicksburg man was charged this morning for the second time with third-offense domestic vio-lence after the same victim reported a second attack.
Jamal Smith, 19, 2918 Green St., was arrested at 2:35 this morning after police responded to a disturbance call at a home in the 100 block of Athens Avenue, Lt. Bobby Stewart said.
Smith is accused of assault-ing his girlfriend by biting her left arm and punching her in the face, causing her
left eye to swell, Stewart said. He was charged with third-
offense domestic violence, the same charge he faces in an attack on the same woman that was reported on March 20, Stewart said. At the time of this morning’s arrest, he had been free on a $10,000 bond after being indicted by the July term of the Warren County grand jury in the March attack. He also was indicted in July for posses-
sion of a controlled substance, a charge he faced after being arrested April 16 and released on a $5,000 bond.
A trial date following both indictments is set for Nov. 8. He was held this morning without bond at the Vicks-burg Police Department.
Apartment workerheld for embezzlement
A Vicksburg man was in the Issaquena County Jail this morning accused of taking money from his
employer.James Allen, 55, 1408 Grove
St., was arrested at 10:49 a.m. Thursday while at work at Monroe Court Apartments, 1219 Monroe St., and charged with embezzlement, Vicks-burg police Lt. Bobby Stew-art said.
Allen, who worked as a maintenance man, is accused of taking $1,075 in rent money from tenants while he was entrusted with collecting rent by the apartment man-ager who was out of town, Stewart said.
He was held on a $5,000 bond.
Two guns missingfrom Oak home
A residential burglary was reported in the city Thursday.
A Cobra 38-caliber pistol valued at $225 and a Hi-Point 45-caliber handgun valued at $275 were reported missing at 3:39 p.m. from a home in the 3600 block of Oak Street.

persist, researchers found.Monty Graham, a scientist
at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab in Alabama who was not involved in the new research, said: “We absolutely should be concerned that this mate-rial is drifting around for who knows how long. They say months in the (research) paper, but more likely we’ll be able to track this stuff for years.”
Late Thursday, federal offi-cials acknowledged the deep-water oil was not degrad-ing as fast as they initially thought, but still was break-ing down “relatively rapidly.” Jane Lubchenco, chief of the National Oceanic and Atmo-spheric Administration, said agency scientists and others were “working furiously” to come up with actual rates of biodegradation.
She noted a bright spot from the slow breakdown of the oil: Faster degradation would mean a big influx of oil-eating microbes. Though they are useful, they also use up oxygen, creating “dead zones” that already plague the Gulf in the summer. Dead zones are not form-ing because of the oil plume, Lubchenco said.
The underwater oil was measured close to BP’s blown-out well, which is about 40 miles off the Louisi-ana coast. The plume started three miles from the well and extended more than 20 miles to the southwest. The oil droplets are odorless and too small to be seen by the naked eye.
that has made the investiga-tion cumbersome. But, “we kept going over, covering the same ground and finally developed some witnesses who pretty much cooper-ated,” he said.
Hill’s vehicle, a red 1992 Ford Crown Victoria, was found the day after his body was discovered in a wooded area less than a mile away.
Hill is survived by a 1-year-old son.

The bulk of the money — $70 million — would go toward implementing a statewide emergency system for first responders. The rest will help two businesses improve broad-band service in more than a dozen rural counties.

State to get nearly $90Mto expand broadbandBy Shelia Byrd

JACKSON — Zach Scruggs is asking a federal judge for a chance to clear his name in a judicial bribery scheme that toppled his attorney father and other prominent attorneys and officials.
Zach Scruggs — son and former law partner of dis-graced former litigator Rich-ard “Dickie” Scruggs — was released from a halfway house in August 2009 after serving a 14-month sentence and lives in Oxford. He has filed a motion asking the court to vacate his
conviction, eliminate the terms of his supervised release and refund the $250,000 in fines or fees he paid.In the docu-
ments that first appeared Thursday in federal court records, Zach Scruggs said a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision shows he didn’t violate the “honest services” fraud law. He also contended there are sworn statements from two people reversing ear-
lier testimony that implicated him in another criminal case, and he accused his former defense attorney of working against him.
Zach Scruggs pleaded guilty in March 2008 to misprision of a felony — having knowl-edge of an attempted bribery scheme and not reporting it. In the latest motion, Zach Scruggs said he had no knowledge of the bribery scheme.
He had admitted knowing about a conversation another attorney had with Judge Henry Lackey in a lawsuit over $26 million in legal fees. Prosecu-tors had said attorneys offered
to pay Lackey $40,000 for a favorable ruling.
Zach Scruggs’ attorneys said in the court documents that the honest service fraud stat-ute has now been severely lim-ited by the U.S. Supreme Court “to include only bribery and kickback schemes and no other failures to act.”
Several attorneys pleaded guilty in the judicial bribery case, including Dickie Scruggs; New Albany attorney Timothy Balducci, who had the con-versation with the judge and delivered the cash to him; and former State Auditor Steve Patterson.
Zach Scruggs wants conviction, fine tossed
JACKSON, Miss. — Repub-lican Gov. Haley Barbour said Mississippi will apply for federal stimulus money for education and won’t have to rearrange the state budget to do so.
Barbour had said earlier that the state may have to shift funds around to meet the requirements in the bill. However, Barbour said Thursday in a letter to leg-islators, superintendents and school board members that he’s been assured by federal officials that Missis-sippi meets the requirements allowing states to access the funds.
“Although I would have voted against this legislation were I in Congress, I intend to apply for the approxi-mately $98 million in funding for K-12 education,” Barbour wrote to legislators.
“Our taxpayers, and their children and grandchildren are on the hook for the debt resulting from this federal spending, and it does not require us to raise taxes or make other negative policy changes, so I believe Missis-sippians should receive the extra funds for education purposes.”
Sen. Hob Bryan, a Demo-crat from Amory, said Thurs-day that when lawmakers crafted the current budget, they included provisions about what to do if Missis-sippi receives federal stimu-lus money. The state fiscal year began July 1.
Congress approved the fed-eral money last week.
Bryan said Barbour should
have taken a closer look at the issue before saying ear-lier that the state would not accept the funds.
High court: Alcohol banpartially valid
JACKSON, Miss. — The Mississippi Supreme Court has ruled Pike County super-visors cannot ban the posses-sion of alcohol along popular canoeing and rafting rivers, but they can prohibit con-sumption of liquor on the waterways.
The 5-3 ruling came Thurs-day in an ongoing dispute between the county and the owners of inner tube rental companies over a ban of sale of alcohol. The ordinance applies to the Bogue Chitto River from Holmesville to the Bogue Chitto Water Park, and Topisaw Creek from Leatherwood Road to the Bogue Chitto River.
The county enacted the ban in 2008. It was upheld by a judge the same year.
In the ruling, justices wrote that the part of the ordinance that attempts to prohibit pos-session conflicts with a state law.

La. casinos poststrong winnings in July
BATON ROUGE — Louisi-ana’s state-licensed casinos bounced back with a strong July, taking in almost as much from players as in July 2009.
The 13 riverboats, Harrah’s land casino in New Orleans and the four race track casi-nos won $219.4 million last month, down only 0.4 percent from $220.3 million in July 2009, state police reported Thursday.
In recent months, the year-to-year comparison in gam-bling revenue has been lag-ging. In June, the take was down 4.5 percent from June 2009.
July is typically a strong month for casinos, taking in a major holiday weekend. In addition, New Orleans likely received a boost from the Essence Music Festival, which brought thousands to the city.

With General Motors Co. post-ing two quarters of profitable operations and the sale of stock to the public imminent, CEO Edward Whitacre Jr. announced he’s giving up the chief executive post in September and will leave the firm in January. He’s earned the thanks of GM’s employees and all U.S. taxpayers in helping return GM to the black.
As many have noted, GM’s very survival was in question a year ago. Whitacre took over as CEO in December, after the Obama administration forced out Fritz Henderson, who replaced Rick Wagoner, the first GM executive fired by the White House.
This week, GM reported second-quarter net income of $1.3 billion, which follows first-quarter prof-its of $865 million. The second-quarter profits were GM’s largest since 2004. The company lost $88 billion between 2005 and 2009.
Whitacre has replaced or shifted 12 of the firm’s top 13 executives to help pump new
ideas into a company that was in dire need of freshening up. The Texas phone company executive said he didn’t want to be long-term CEO.
GM said Whitacre will be replaced by Daniel Akerson, who, like Whitacre, has had long expe-rience in telecommunications rather than the auto industry. A number of analysts commented that the announcement of Whita-cre’s departure and the naming of his successor as CEO could be expected as the firm readied its stock offering.
With the automaker dropping several brands, shrinking its dealer network, shedding debt through the bankruptcy process, reducing the number of employ-ees and winning concessions from those who remain, GM is poised to stay in the black as it moves forward.
For that, and for beginning the process by which GM moves away from being a government owned and controlled company,
Whitacre deserves a great deal of credit. He stepped into a bleak situation and helped give the firm a good shot at survival. A healthy General Motors is vital to the success of this state and region.
GM still faces challenges. As the auto information firm Edmunds.com notes, its vehicles are still more heavily discounted than the industry average. And it still faces ferocious competition from cross-town rival Ford Motor Co., Toyota Motor Corp. and foreign-based automakers.
Though Akerson, like Whitacre comes from outside the indus-try, GM isn’t without top automo-tive talent in Mark Reuss, head of GM’s North America opera-tions and Tom Stephens, head of global product operations, among others. However, Akerson is one of the trustees appointed by the Obama administration and that will make it difficult for GM to shake the Government Motors label.
Whitacre helped put company on solid footing

WASHINGTON — President Obama has a peculiar talent for enraging his critics while deflating the enthusiasm of his friends, and it was on full display in the Manhattan mosque controversy.
His first intervention, at a White House dinner for Ramadan one week ago, was an unqualified defense of both religious liberty and religious tolerance, implying that opposition to a mosque near ground zero vio-lated both. In his second interven-tion, in an unplanned exchange with a reporter on Saturday, he insisted that he was not commenting “on the wisdom” of building the mosque, merely affirming the right to a con-struction permit. It was not a contra-diction, but it was a marked change in tone. Obama managed to collect all the political damage for taking an unpopular stand without gaining credit for political courage.
But being hapless does not make the president wrong.
Though columnists are loath to admit it, there is a difference between being a commentator and being president. Pundits have every right to raise questions about the con-struction of an Islamic center near
ground zero. Where is the funding coming from? What are the motives of its supporters? Is the symbolism insensitive?
But the view from the Oval Office differs from the view from a key-board. A president does not merely have opinions; he has duties to the Constitution and to the citizens he serves — including millions of Muslim citizens. His primary con-cern is not the sifting of sensitivities but the protection of the American people and the vindication of their rights.
By this standard, Obama had no choice but the general path he took. No president, of any party or ideol-ogy, could tell millions of Americans
that their sacred building desecrates American holy ground. This would understandably be taken as a presi-dential assault on the deepest beliefs of his fellow citizens. If a church or synagogue can be built on a com-mercial street in Lower Manhattan, declaring a mosque off-limits would officially equate Islam with violence and terrorism. No president would consider making such a statement. And those commentators who urge the president to do so fundamen-tally misunderstand the presidency itself.
An inclusive rhetoric toward Islam is sometimes dismissed as mere political correctness. Having spent some time crafting such rhetoric for
a president, I can attest that it is actu-ally a matter of national interest. It is appropriate — in my view, required — for a president to draw a clear line between “us” and “them” in the global conflict with Muslim militants. I wish Obama would do it with more vigor. But it matters greatly where that line is drawn. The militants hope, above all else, to provoke con-flict between the West and Islam — to graft their totalitarian political manias onto a broader movement of Muslim solidarity. America hopes to draw a line that isolates the politi-cally violent and those who tolerate political violence — creating solidar-ity with their Muslim opponents and with the victims of radicalism.
How precisely is our cause served by treating the construction of a non-radical mosque in Lower Manhattan as the functional equivalent of des-ecrating a grave? It assumes a civili-zational conflict instead of defusing it. Symbolism is indeed important in the war against terrorism. But a mosque that rejects radicalism is not a symbol of the enemy’s victory; it is a prerequisite for our own.
Here again, this debate illustrates a gap in perspective. A commenta-
tor can speak with obvious sincerity of preventing American hallowed ground from being overshadowed by a mosque. A president not only serves Muslim citizens, not only commands Muslims in the American military, but also leads a coalition that includes Iraqi and Afghan Mus-lims who risk death each day at our side fighting Islamic radicalism. How could he possibly tell them that their place of worship inherently symbol-izes the triumph of terror?
There are many reasons to criticize Obama’s late, vacillating response to the Manhattan mosque, and per-haps even to criticize this particu-lar mosque. But those who want a president to assert that any mosque would defile the neighborhood near ground zero are asking him to under-mine the war on terrorism. A war on Islam would make a war on terror-ism impossible.

Obama has duty to all Americans over New York mosqueSymbolism is indeed important

Proposal would put whooping cranes back in La. wetlandsNEW ORLEANS (AP) — The
whooping crane — one of the world’s most endangered birds and one of the first animals on the U.S. endan-gered list — could be back in Louisi-ana’s wetlands as early as February under a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Ser-vice proposal.
The long-legged birds with the dis-tinctive call haven’t lived in the wild in Louisiana since 1950.
Under the plan, young birds would be released in a pen in Vermilion Parish, about 125 miles west of New Orleans in Louisiana’s bayou country, after they are raised by people wear-ing shapeless white “crane suits.”
The pen would enclose an area cleared of predators at White Lake Wetland Conservation Area, where whooping cranes once lived and
raised young.The birds will eventually be able to
fly out, but likely will remain in the area because whooping cranes must be taught to migrate, Bill Brooks, a biologist with the U.S. Fish and Wild-life Service, said Wednesday.
“I’m excited. You can’t imagine,” said Mary Lynch Courville, whose federal biologist father, John J. Lynch, captured the last wild whoop-ing crane alive in Louisiana and took it to join a Texas flock in 1950. She has been campaigning for a quarter-century to return whooping cranes to the wild in Louisiana.
Standing about 5 feet high, whoop-ing cranes are the tallest birds in North America.
They once ranged from the Arctic to central Mexico’s high plateau, and from Utah east to New Jersey, South Carolina and Florida, according to the proposal published Thursday in the Federal Register. Never abun-dant, they were hunted for plumage and for taxidermy, and their habi-tats were converted to hayfields, pas-
tures and grain farms. Their num-bers plummeted from an estimated 500 to 700 in 1870 to 16 migrating birds in 1941.
Nearly 550 whooping cranes are now alive: just under 400 in the wild and nearly 150 at breeding and rear-ing facilities including the Audubon Center for Research of Endangered Species just outside New Orleans. All of them are descended from 15 birds.
The birds to be released in Louisi-ana probably will include the only one to hatch from an egg laid at ACRES, director Betsy Dresser said.
The facility on New Orleans’ west bank has raised up to 20 sandhill crane chicks a year since 1995, and Dresser hopes to raise whooping crane chicks there for the Louisiana
flock.“We just feel the chicks, if they’re
acclimated here to the temperature and the humidity and the food source, they might do better,” she said.
The only self-sustaining wild flock of whooping cranes migrates between Wood Buffalo National Park in the Northwest Territories of Canada and Aransas National Wildlife Refuge in Texas. One smaller flock migrates between Wisconsin and Florida, and a second lives in Florida year-round.
The Fish and Wildlife Service is asking for public comment on its pro-posal to try to establish a flock in an area where the cranes once lived and raised young. It has scheduled public hearings Sept. 15 in Gueydan and Sept. 16 in Baton Rouge, and will also take comments by mail and e-mail.

Tennessee dries out after delugeMore rain expected across Southeast during weekend
MT. JULIET, Tenn. (AP) — Tennessee started drying out Thursday after days of drenching rain caused flood-ing, stranded homeowners and drivers, washed out roads and forced a freight train off its tracks.
No deaths had been reported, but forecasters warned the inundation might not be over. More rain was expected to fall across the Southeast during the weekend from the same storm system, which also was prompting flood watches and pouring rain onto parts
of Kentucky, North Carolina and Virginia.
Most flood watches and warnings in Tennessee had expired by Thursday after-noon, including one for Nash-ville, while remaining in effect for some areas to the north-east. Even with possible flood-ing in the Cumberland River and other creeks in the state, it likely will not cause the same devastation wrought by heavy rains in early May.
Still, officials were making plans for possible evacuations and preparing sandbags for
downtown Nashville and other riverfront areas that previ-ously flooded.
The rainfall was still far less than the heaviest-hit places farther east of Nashville, like Cookeville, which got 11 or more inches.
Some minor flooding was still expected as the rainwa-ters flowed downstream into Nashville into the Penning-ton Bend area near the Gay-lord Opryland Resort — which was hit hard in May — as well as some industrial areas and low-lying farmland.

Q: I recently married for the second time after being a widow for four years. I knew my new husband for several years but just recently found out after we got married that he has neglected to file his taxes for the past five years. I’m glad that I found out now, as we have not combined any of our accounts yet, but he wants to, and I’m afraid that this will affect me negatively. Do you think it’s a good idea to keep things separate? I’m
not sure whom to go to for help in this matter and whom he should contact to get his back
taxes in order. — Sandra, via e-mail
A: First and foremost, protect
yourself, which seems like you have already thought about. Your husband needs to contact a Certified Public Accountant before the Internal Revenue Service or an Enrolled Agent contacts him. It may take some doing and lots of penal-ties will be involved, but this is something that I am confident they will advise you to do and something that he needs to do immediately. It’s better if he approaches the IRS instead of them coming after him. He will be treated more kindly if he makes the overture to contact the IRS through your repre-sentative. If they catch on that he hasn’t filed in five years, it could get rough, so he needs to be proactive. In the mean-time, as you surmised, keep your finances completely sep-arate, which includes bank accounts, credit cards, etc., and by all means, you must file in a timely fashion.

Deficit ontrack topass $1.3T
WASHINGTON (AP) — This year’s federal deficit will surpass $1.3 trillion, a slight improvement over last year’s record red ink, Congress’ top budget analysts said Thursday.
It gave no comfort to law-makers struggling to balance conflicting election-season pressures to cut budget gaps, jolt the economy and reduce taxes.
With polls showing voters unhappy with growing defi-cits, the issue will confront legislators when they return from their summer recess in September, less than two months from elections that will determine which party controls Congress.
Both parties quickly staked out positions.
Sen. Judd Gregg, R-N.H., blamed the red ink on “unaf-fordable and unsustainable” spending driven by President Barack Obama’s ambitious agenda.
FDA panel narrowly signs offon Cymbalta as pain treatment
WASHINGTON (AP) — A group of federal health experts narrowly voted to expand approval of a best-sell-ing antidepressant on Thurs-day, though panelists said the drug is only effective for cer-tain types of pain.
The Food and Drug Adminis-tration is considering whether to broaden approval of Elli Lilly & Co.’s Cymbalta to treat chronic pain, an indication that encompasses more than 30 million American patients.
The FDA’s panel of outside physicians voted 8-6 in favor of the broader indication, though they separately ruled that the drug did not appear effective
for arthritis-related pain.The FDA gives weight to
the panel’s recommendations, but is not required to follow them.
Indianapolis-based Lilly already markets Cymbalta for depression, diabetic nerve
pain and fibromyalgia. Pre-scriptions for the drug have ballooned in recent years to nearly 15 million last year.
FDA panelists picked apart five clinical studies submit-ted by the company, which showed conflicting results for the drug’s effectiveness in dif-ferent pain disorders.
For osteoarthritis, one study showed a significant reduc-tion in pain, while another failed to reach statistical sig-nificance. Panelists voted 9-4 that the data did not support Cymbalta’s effectiveness for the condition.
Cymbalta was Eli Lilly’s second best-seller last year.
Officials: Sickness from eggs likely to growWASHINGTON (AP) — A
salmonella outbreak that sick-ened hundreds and led to the recall of hundreds of millions of eggs from one Iowa firm will likely grow, federal health offi-cials said Thursday.
That’s because illnesses occurring after mid-July might not be reported yet, said Dr. Christopher Braden, an epide-miologist with the federal Cen-ters for Disease Control.
Almost 2,000 illnesses from the strain of salmonella linked to the eggs were reported between May and July, about 1,300 more than usual, he said. No deaths have been reported. The CDC is continuing to receive information from state health departments as people
report their illnesses.“I would anticipate that we
will be seeing more illnesses reported likely as a result of this outbreak,” said Braden. The recall of 380 million eggs from Iowa’s Wright County Egg is one of the largest shell egg recalls in recent history.
The outbreak could have been prevented if new rules to ensure egg safety had been in place a few months earlier, a Food and Drug Administration spokeswoman said.The rules took effect in July.
Salmonella is the most common form of food poisoning from bacteria, and the strain involved in the outbreak is the most common — accounting for 20 percent of all such food
poisonings.The eggs were distrib-
uted under Lucerne, Albert-son, Mountain Dairy, Ralph’s, Boomsma’s, Sunshine, Hillan-dale, Trafficanda, Farm Fresh, Shoreland, Lund, Dutch Farms and Kemp.

approval of Cymbalta to treat chronic pain,

30 million Americans.

The jig is up: Campfire rats out Arizona inmate, fianceePHOENIX (AP) — An unat-
tended campfire and a sus-picious forest ranger led to the arrest of two of the most wanted fugitives in the U.S., ending a three-week nation-wide manhunt that drew hundreds of false sightings, authorities said.
John McCluskey fled July 30 with two other inmates from a private prison in northwest Arizona and evaded authori-ties in at least six states before being caught Thursday eve-ning just 300 miles east of the prison.
Authorities arrested McClus-key, 45, and his alleged accom-plice Casslyn Welch, 44, at a campsite in the Apache-Sit-greaves National Forest in eastern Arizona.
Welch, who is McCluskey’s fiancee and cousin, reached for a weapon but dropped it when she realized she was out-gunned by a swarming SWAT team, said David Gonzales,
U.S. marshal for Arizona.Officers apprehended
McCluskey without incident after finding him lying in a sleeping bag outside a tent. He told authorities he had a gun in his tent and would have shot them if he had been
able to reach for it.It was a peaceful close to
a manhunt that authorities had said was likely to end in a bloody shootout between officers and desperate out-laws who fancied themselves as a modern-day Bonnie and
Clyde.“The nightmare that began
July 30 is finally over,” Gon-zales said.
The fugitives’ ruse began to crumble about 4 p.m. Thurs-day when a U.S. Forest Ser-vice ranger investigated what
appeared to be an unattended campfire, Gonzales said. He found a silver Nissan Sentra backed suspiciously into the trees as if someone were trying to hide it.
The ranger had a brief con-versation with McCluskey,
who appeared nervous and fidgety. A SWAT team and sur-veillance unit surrounded the campsite and swarmed on the fugitives, Gonzales said.
McCluskey told officers he wishes he would have shot the forest ranger when he had the opportunity, authorities said.
McCluskey and Welch were being held in the Apache County Jail in St. Johns.
A photo released by authori-ties showed McCluskey wear-ing dirty blue jeans and no shirt with an “Arizona” tattoo across his chest.
“I hope the citizens of Ari-zona and the nation can rest easier this evening,” said state Corrections Department Director Charles Ryan.
Authorities were to spend today combing the camp-site looking for any evidence that could link the fugitives to other crimes during their time on the lam.
John McCluskey, left, and Casslyn Welch are taken into custody by U.S. Marshals Thursday night at a campground in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest.

Ex-astronaut in love triangle discharged, loses Navy rankJACKSONVILLE, Fla. —
The Navy has ended the mili-tary career of former astro-naut Lisa Nowak, who lost her NASA job over a bizarre air-port attack on a roman-tic rival.
A Navy panel of three admi-rals voted unanimously late Thursday to discharge Nowak and downgrade her rank from captain to com-mander. Nowak didn’t com-ment on the decision at the panel’s meeting at the Jack-sonville Naval Air Station.
Nowak was sentenced to a year on probation in Novem-ber after pleading guilty to third-degree felony bur-
glary and misdemeanor bat-tery. Nowak confronted her romantic rival in the parking lot of Orlando International Airport in February 2007 after driving from Houston. Colleen Shipman had begun dating Nowak’s love interest.
Suspect sought in hijack threat
SAN FRANCISCO — Investigators are seeking the identity of a caller whose hijacking threat left a jetliner grounded and passengers wondering why two of their own were escorted off the aircraft by authorities.
Police said that a clerk at a business in Alameda, a city across San Francisco Bay
from the airport, reported receiving a threat specifi-cally directed at the Ameri-can Airlines flight. The clerk called police shortly after 9 a.m. Thursday and said the business had received an anonymous phone call, Lt. Bill Scott said.
About an hour later, Ameri-can Airlines Flight 24 pushed off from the gate long past its scheduled 7:30 a.m. depar-ture. Within minutes, the New York-bound plane was diverted to a remote section of the tarmac at San Fran-cisco International Airport, where it sat for several hours before it was searched and two passengers removed for extra scrutiny.
Other passengers were taken by buses to a terminal for further security checks. The plane was carrying 163
passengers and 11 crew members.
The FBI later determined that the telephoned threat wasn’t credible, but the inci-dent still rattled nerves as it played out live on national TV.
Airline to be slappedwith record penalty
FORT WORTH, Texas — A published report says federal officials are ready to hit American Airlines with a record penalty of $25 mil-lion or more for maintenance shortcomings that led to thousands of canceled flights in 2008.
The Wall Street Journal said in a story set to pub-lish today that the Federal Aviation Administration hasn’t made a final decision or informed American, and
a decision could be weeks away.
Neither American nor the FAA responded immediately to requests for comment Thursday night.
The reported fine stems from improper electrical wiring around the landing gear of many of its planes. American was forced to ground its entire fleet of about 300 McDonnell Doug-las MD-80-series jets in April 2008 while mechanics fixed the problem.
Drowned toddlersmourned in S.C.
ORANGEBURG, S.C. — Hundreds of mourners were expected at funeral services for two South Carolina tod-dlers authorities say were killed by their mother and
strapped into a car that rolled into a river.
Mourn-ers filed past the boys’ coffins at a funeral home Thursday.
A joint funeral service was sched-uled in Orangeburg this morning for 2-year-old Devean C. Duley and 18-month-old Ja’van T. Duley.
Investigators say Shaquan Duley, 29, suffocated her two young sons Sunday night after a fight with her own mother, then strapped their bodies into her car and rolled it into a river so it would look like an accident. Duley, charged with murder, was not expected at the funeral.

with hand-lettered signs, home-made towers fashioned from such materials as cardboard and Styrofoam and a school bus that often hosted Dennis’ sermons. The shelves in the store became home to sacred objects such as Menorahs and replicas of the Ark of the Covenant and the tablets that bore the 10 Commandments.
Now a resident of Covenant Health & Rehab of Vicksburg on Porters Chapel Road, Dennis was driven to Thursday’s meeting by Frank Johnson, a deacon at Cool Springs M.B. Church, the church that bought Margaret’s Grocery property from the Dennises.
Those who attended Thursday’s gathering viewed a slide show of photographs taken at Marga-ret’s by professional photogra-pher Suzi Altman, heard speak-ers from the arts commission bill the structure as a cultural trea-sure and listened to a laundry list of repairs needed at the grocery that sits about a mile south of North Washington’s intersection with U.S. 61.
Altman, a New York City native who began photographing Mar-garet’s after moving to Missis-sippi about 10 years ago, said she has entered the grocery restora-tion for one of 10 $50,000 Refresh Everything grants that will be given out next month by Pepsi. Starting on Sept. 1, anyone can vote for the project by logging on to www.refresheverything.com, clicking on “Browse Ideas and Vote” and selecting Margaret’s from the Arts & Culture category. A person may cast an unlimited number of votes, and the top 10 win grants, Altman said.
“It’s totally a popularity con-test,” Altman said. “We need everyone to vote early and vote often.”
Jackson attorney Robbie Fisher announced that she would help form a tax-exempt nonprofit group to receive donations for Margaret’s. Fisher invited dona-tions and contact at 601-941-1865 or [email protected].
Johnson detailed problems with the structure. The roof needs to be patched and partially replaced, as does loose siding. The iron front door and its lock need to be repaired. Many of the signs painted by Preacher Dennis require restoration. The yard needs cleaning.
“If you happen to be a roofer, a painter or a financial genius, or if you know someone who is, your help is needed,” Miller said.
“We want to restore Marga-ret’s Grocery to its former state,” said Byron Maxwell, Cool Springs pastor.
The roughly 30 people who attended the meeting reflected the grocery’s wide appeal. It included local artists, members of Cool Springs and area residents who have developed an attach-ment to the colorful attraction.
Renee Irons said she began driving past Margaret’s about 15 years ago. “Then, one day, I went in and just became entranced.”
“I call it Candyland, because I always thought it looked like (the children’s game) Candyland” said her daughter, Kenzie Irons, 11, a sixth-grader at South Park Ele-mentary School.
cent over the 2009 result.Also, all 42 eighth-grad-
ers at Warren Central Junior High School who took the secondary test in algebra passed it, along with 67 of the 68 Vicksburg Junior High students who took it.
Algebra I teachers shared strategies at each school and between schools, said WCHS princi-pal Rodney Smith.
Warren Central also staged a practice test in the gym, re-creating many of the conditions students would encounter during the actual test.
At VHS, instructors tutored students for the test during and after the school day and provided online resources for par-ents to use for additional at-home tutoring, Principal Derrick Reed said.
Reed said he was “a little disappointed” in the VHS results, despite the school’s improvement on the math test. “At Vicks-burg High, we expect excellence in everything,” he said. “So, while it’s encouraging that we did improve over last year, as principal, I have to demand more.”
In contrast to the math results, secondary scores in other SATB areas, U.S. History, English and biology, showed mostly declines, and elemen-tary language arts scores were a mixed bag of slight increases, slight declines or remaining the same.
At VHS, where U.S. His-
tory scores fell from 95.5 to 80.7, Reed said the drop might have been due to a more “rigorous” statewide curriculum in the subject.
“Our instructors have probably needed time to adjust to it,” he said. “It’s one area where I expect improvement in the future.”
A sampling of neighbor-ing districts shows that 96.6 percent of students in Clinton schools passed the algebra test, 62.1 per-cent in Claiborne County, 73.8 in South Delta, 75.2 in Hinds County and 70 percent in Jackson Public Schools.
Vicksburg Warren’s scor-ing lower than its peers across the state in most categories is a result that has been relatively con-stant over the three years of the current state testing model.
But improvement in those differences was also registered from 2009 to 2010, and VWSD sixth-graders bested the state average in scoring basic and above in math, 84 to 82 percent.
Murphy said the VWSD is “unique” and true com-parisons are difficult. “We test everybody who is enrolled,” she said.
Oakes said Vicksburg and Warren County might have a more diverse popu-lation than other areas of the state, skewing comparisons.
“The total range in this district is very wide, wider than some others in the state,” he said. “Each indi-vidual county and district really has to be looked at on an individual basis.”
Test score data was released to the district earlier in the week after preliminary reports were issued last week.
Principals around the district are studying the numbers, said supervis-ing director of information management and district test coordinator Dr. Shelly Plett, who breaks down the raw data and puts it into a form that individual school administrators can use.
Each grade uses the same basic textbook regardless of the school, and teachers attend dis-trict in-service workshops for professional develop-ment, but individualization in training and academics exists throughout the dis-trict, Oakes said.
One predictor of stu-dent success is parental involvement. “Statistically, that is true,” said Plett.
And the students also were given credit. “We are encouraged that our stu-dents are taking testing more seriously,” Murphy said.
“Our kids have worked hard, our teachers have worked hard,” said Smith. “Everyone gave 100 percent.”
With slight decreases in secondary English and U.S. History scores, Smith said teaching methods and strategies would be on the table to find ways to bring up scores.
“Any time there’s a decrease, we have a con-cern,” he said.

France expels Gypsies to Romania for second dayPARIS — About 100 Gyp-
sies, or Roma, have been put on a charter flight headed to their native Romania, the second day in a row that France has expelled Roma in a much criticized govern-ment crackdown.
Associated Press Televi-sion News saw 100 or more Gypsy men, women and chil-dren arriving by bus at Paris’ Charles de Gaulle airport today. After checking in at the charter flight terminal, they were transported by bus to the waiting plane.
The flight’s final destination was reportedly Timisoara city in western Romania.
President Nicolas Sarkozy announced the crackdown on Roma in late July as part of a larger “war” on delinquency. It is increasingly criticized as discriminatory.
France can repatriate Gypsies, if they’re unable to prove they can support themselves.
Activist arrestedafter N. Korea trip
SEOUL, South Korea — Authorities arrested a South Korean religious activist today as he returned home across the heavily fortified
border after an illegal trip to North Korea.
U.N. Command spokesman Kim Yong-kyu said South Korean officials took the Rev. Han Sang-ryol into custody as he walked through the truce village of Panmunjom
along the border separating the two Koreas.
The U.N. Command — which oversees an armi-stice that ended the 1950-53 Korean War — has juris-diction over the southern half of the village. The com-mand and South Korea say Han’s crossing violated the armistice as well as a South Korean law barring its citizens from visiting the North without government permission.
Han, wearing a traditional white hanbok dress, shouted, “National unification and peace, hooray!” just before crossing the border, accord-ing to video footage from broadcaster APTN in the North Korean capital.
He was then immediately whisked away by two officials as hundreds of North Kore-ans at Panmunjom waved flags and chanted “National
reunification,” according to APTN.
Bodies recoveredafter Afghan attack
KABUL, Afghanistan — At least seven bodies have been taken to a hospital in the capital of southern Helmand province following a Taliban attack on a road construction crew.
Lashkar Gah hospital direc-tor Dr. Enayatullah Ghafari said today the seven died of bullet wounds. They worked for an unidentified road con-struction company.
Deputy provincial police chief Kamaluddin Khan said Afghan police are investigat-ing reports that as many as 35 people were killed in the fighting since at least Thurs-day in Sangin district. He says the casualties cannot be confirmed because the area is under Taliban control.

Al-Qaidain Iraq claimsarmy recruitbombing
BAGHDAD (AP) — An al-Qaida in Iraq front group today claimed responsibility for the suicide bombing this week that killed 61 Iraqi army recruits in the deadliest single act of vio-lence in Baghdad in months.
The Islamic State of Iraq, which includes al-Qaida in Iraq and other allied Sunni insur-gent factions, boasted that its operative easily passed through checkpoints before detonating his explosives belt in a crowd of officers and recruits outside army headquarters Tuesday.
The bomber was able to “break all barriers” and strike “Shiite infidels and other apos-tates who were selling their religion,” the group said in a statement posted on a militant website.
The Iraqi army’s recruit-ment drive aimed to hire sol-diers from some of the coun-try’s poorest Shiite areas. The Islamic State of Iraq is a Sunni extremist group that considers Shiites heretics.
The bombing, which also wounded at least 125 people, once again raised concerns about the Iraqi security forces’ readiness to protect their coun-try at a time when all but 50,000 U.S. troops are heading home.
A senior adviser to Iraq’s top Shiite cleric blasted the coun-try’s police and military lead-ership today for failing to pro-tect military recruits despite repeated attacks on them in the past.
Pakistan takesIndian aidfor flood relief
ISLAMABAD (AP) — Islam-abad has accepted $5 million in aid from India for flood victims, a rare expression of goodwill between the feuding neighbors at a time when Pak-istan is reeling from one of its worst ever natural disasters.
The floods have affected about one-fifth of Pakistan’s territory, straining its civilian government as it also strug-gles against al-Qaida and Tal-iban violence. At least 6 mil-lion people have been made homeless and the economic cost is expected to run into the billions.
The head of the World Health Organization in Paki-stan said today that there had been “sporadic cases” of chol-era among 20 million people affected by the disaster, many of them living in crowded and unsanitary conditions.
But Guido Sabatinelli told reporters that “I am optimis-tic that there is no immediate threat of a cholera epidemic.”
The United Nations has appealed for $460 million in emergency assistance.
Pakistani Foreign Minis-ter Shah Mahmood Qureshi told Indian NDTV television station that the government had accepted the money from India.

Mississippi Braves fall to Tennessee
A four-run sixth inning was the mortal blow as the Mississippi Braves fell 5-4 in 10 innings to the Tennes-see Smokies on Thursday.
The M-Braves were un-able to hold onto a four-run lead. Two runs scored on an error in the first, an-other scored off a Dan Nel-son groundout in the third and the last M-Braves’ run in the fifth came off a wild pitch. With two outs in the bottom of the sixth, Blake Lalli doubled to drive in the first run. A wild pitch by Tim Gustafson allowed another to score. Matthew Spencer blasted a two-run home run to knot the con-test at four.
Russ Canzler ended the contest with a RBI fielder’s choice in the bottom of the 10th inning.

Kickoff time for GatorsVicksburg to battle talented Gulfport squadBy Jeff [email protected]
Two days before the sea-son-opening Red Carpet Bowl game with Gulfport, the Vicksburg Gators were still in full pads. It’s all a part of coach Alonzo Ste-vens’ plan to keep his team with a mindset of being physical.
“We’ve got to be physical. I think that was a big part of the problem last year. We’re still trying to get that full commitment to be made. We need to commit to bringing an all-out effort. It’s almost there, but we still have a way to go,” Ste-vens said.
The Gators were beaten
47-6 in last year’s Red Carpet Bowl game by Ocean Springs at Warren Central and then lost their next four games by similar scores in a 1-10 season.
Gulfport is expected to bring another tough-minded team in the Mike Justice mold to Memorial Stadium for the second game for the 48th annual Red Carpet Bowl. The Admirals and Gators will kick off following the con-clusion of the Warren Cen-tral-Ocean Springs contest.
Gulfport took home last year’s Red Carpet trophy, holding off a late Warren
Central rally to win 35-21. Admirals’ quarterback Der-rick Lattimer had a huge game, rushing for 158 yards and four touchdowns while passing for another 87 yards and one score. Good news for the Gators is Lat-timer has graduated. Jus-
tice, however, feels he has a better overall club.
“We’ve got a lot back from last year’s team. We will have a new quarter-back, we just need to see how well he will play. But that goes for the whole team. I think we’re solid, but we need to play,” Jus-tice said.
Justice, who coached for several years at Louisville and Madison Central before moving to Alabama for a handful of seasons, said he expects to see another good, athletic team from the Gators.
“Vicksburg is forever going to have good football

Warren Central’s first-year coach Josh Morgan won’t have an easy debut.
But he wouldn’t have it any other way.
“We have so many ques-tion marks,” Morgan said. “This is our first live test. It’ll be a very good evaluation period while answering some of these questions.”
The Vikings take on Ocean Springs in the opener of the Red Carpet Bowl tonight and the Greyhounds bring a team that is loaded for bear, despite losing 13 seniors.The Greyhounds finished 11-3 and won their third-straight 4-6A champion-ship before losing to Oak Grove 27-6 in South State finals in 2009.
Ocean Springs coach Todd Mangum has turned the ‘Hounds into a force to be reckoned with, going 39-11 in his four years at the school.
The key for the Vikings will be preventing some-thing that the Grey-hounds do in bunches: big plays.
One of those big play-makers is Joe Morrow, a 6-foot-4, 200-pound giant of a wide receiver who also plays defensive back. Like DeAndre Brown, another big, tall Ocean Springs wideout who catches passes now for Southern Miss, Morrow is a big target and a deep-ball threat on every possession.
Last season, the Mis-sissippi State committ-ment had 39 receptions, 762 yards, 11 touchdowns and, on defense, he had three interceptions.
“He is an exceptional
FlashesopenwithChiefsBy Ernest [email protected]
Coming out of the pre-season and into week one, coaches often like to play a team they match up well against. Someone who can show them their strengths and weaknesses and give them a competitive game.
For St. Aloysius, that some-one is Pelahatchie.
The teams have played each of the last three seasons — this is the second year in a row they’ll open up against each other — and the three games have been decided by a total of 18 points. St. Al won in 2008 on a last minute touchdown, while Pela-hatchie knocked away a late
Eaglesto collidewith rivalTrojansBy Ernest [email protected]
The ties between Porters Chapel and Tallulah Acad-emy run deep.
Players from both schools attend the same churches, hang out in the same places, even have the same rela-tives. For a few hours this Friday night all of that will be put on hold as they try to knock the snot out of each other.
PCA and Tallulah, rivals in the Mississippi Association of Independent Schools sep-arated by just 20 miles, open the 2010 football season at Eagles Field. The game is rife with subplots and common bonds, with maybe a dose of spite thrown in for good measure.
“There’s a lot of stories,” said John Weaver, who will coach his first game for PCA after two seasons at Tal-lulah. “Yeah, I know those guys, I coached them for two years. There’s extra moti-vation. But I won’t play a down. The best thing I can do is get our guys ready for four quarters of football.”
The biggest subplot in the
game is found on the coach-ing staffs.
Weaver served as an assistant coach at Tallulah in 2008 under Doug Bran-ning, and as head coach last season. Weaver followed Branning, who had left Tal-lulah to become headmas-ter at PCA, to Vicksburg and became coach of the Eagles last spring.
Weaver was replaced by Nick Evans, who will make his debut as Tallulah’s head coach on Friday night.
Weaver joked that he’ll probably get booed by Tal-lulah’s fans. If so, he might be able to compare catcalls with first-year Tallulah defensive coordinator Chris

bASEbAllClemens indicted by grand jury
WASHINGTON — Roger Cle-mens was vehement: “Let me be clear. I have never taken steroids or HGH,” he told a House commit-tee in 2008. Now, instead of the Hall of Fame, baseball’s seven-time Cy Young winner could go to prison after being indicted by a federal grand jury Thursday for allegedly lying to Congress.
The six-count indictment alleges that Clemens obstructed a con-gressional inquiry with 15 differ-ent statements made under oath, including denials that he had ever used steroids or human growth hor-mone. Clemens was sticking to his story Thursday. He insisted he was telling the truth, again denying any wrongdoing on or off the field.
“I never took HGH or Steroids. And I did not lie to Congress,” Cle-mens said on Twitter.
Clemens faces a combined maxi-mum sentence of 30 years in prison and a $1.5 million fine if convicted on all charges. However, under U.S. sentencing guidelines, he would probably face no more than 15 to 21 months in prison.
gOlfWoods will playin The Barclays
PARAMUS, N.J. — Tiger Woods is playing the first FedEx Cup play-off event with hopes that it’s not his last.
Woods officially entered The Bar-clays, which starts Aug. 26. It’s the first of four playoff events that con-clude with the Tour Champion-ship and a $10 million prize to the winner of the yearlong FedEx Cup competition. Woods is No. 108 in the standings, and he is likely to go further down the list depending on what happens this week at the Wyndham Championship.
Aug. 202000 — Tiger Woods wins the
PGA Championship in a playoff over Bob May, becoming the first player since Ben Hogan in 1953 to win three majors in one year. 2003 — The United States wins the women’s overall team gold medal at the World Gymnastics Champi-onships, the first gold in history for the Americans — men or women — at the biggest international event this side of the Olympics. Romania takes the silver medal and Austra-lia wins bronze.
2004 — Michael Phelps matches Mark Spitz’s record of four individ-ual gold medals in the Olympic pool with a stirring comeback in the 100-meter butterfly, then removes himself from further competition at the games. Phelps nips teammate Ian Crocker at the wall by four-hun-dredths of a second to win his fifth gold medal. Shortly after winning his seventh medal of these Olym-pics, Phelps gives up his spot in the medley relay to Crocker.
2006 — Tiger Woods wins the PGA Championship closing with a 4-under 68 for a five-shot victory over Shaun Micheel and his 12th career major. He becomes the first player to win the PGA Champion-ship twice on the same course.

Red Carpet Bowl staff will honor ProctorBy Jeff [email protected]
The Red Carpet Bowl com-mittee will honor outgo-ing Mississippi High School Activities Association execu-tive director Dr. Ennis Proctor during pre-game ceremonies of the Warren Central-Ocean Springs contest tonight at Memorial Stadium.
Proctor, who has served as the MHSAA’s director for 20 years, has announced his retirement effective next July. For RCB committee chairman Winky Freeman, the game
would not have made to its 48th year with-out the support of Proctor and his office.
“Dr. Proc-tor has been a great friend to the Red Carpet Bowl,” Freeman said. “He is a big reason why we are still able to play the contest to this day. We felt this is a nice gesture given, that he is retiring from
the MHSAA, to honor him.”Proctor said he is apprecia-
tive of the honor.“It is quite an honor to be
asked to toss the coin at the 48th Red Carpet Bowl Clas-sic. This event is a part of the rich tradition of high school football in Mississippi, and it is always a first-class event. I thank all of those who work so hard to provide this visibil-ity for our students and their talent, and I appreciate their including me as a part of the opening ceremony. I’m look-ing forward to seeing some quality football and to seeing
many longtime friends Friday night,” Proctor said.
Freeman said that Proc-tor continues to support the contest.
“He’s helped work with the other state associations to bring in teams from out of state that we’ve had here in the past. He gave us approval to let our two large schools play on the same field in the same night and made it possi-ble by allowing for us to start earlier than any other game in Mississippi. He’s really worked with us,” Freeman said.
Nationals beat Braves, still lose seriesATLANTA (AP) — Back
from the minors, John Lannan is racking up quality starts and trimming points from his ERA.
Lannan pitched into the sixth inning and Nyjer Morgan had two hits in his return from the disabled list, helping the Washington Nationals beat the Atlanta Braves 6-2 on Thursday.
Lannan (5-5) gave up two runs and seven hits in 51⁄3 innings, improving to 3-0 with a 3.09 ERA in four starts since he returned from a six-week stay at Double-A Harrisburg. His ERA is down to 5.13 for the season after standing at 5.76 when he was demoted.
“I think I’m close,” the left-hander said when asked if he is close to returning to his top form. “That’s the main thing for me, going out with confi-dence and conviction. ... I felt good. I was throwing fastballs on both sides of the plate.”
The NL East-leading Braves, who had won four straight, wrapped up a 5-2 homestand and will get a boost Friday when newly acquired first baseman Derrek Lee makes his first start for Atlanta in the opener of a weekend series
in Chicago. Lee was acquired from the Cubs on Wednesday for three minor leaguers.
“We won both series; we have to say it was a real good homestand,” said Braves man-ager Bobby Cox, who was anx-ious to see Lee in an Atlanta
uniform. “We can’t win every game.”
Morgan also scored twice and Willie Harris added a two-run homer in the ninth for Washington, which jumped out to a 4-0 lead against Derek Lowe (11-11).
Harris’ drive off Kyle Farn-sworth drove in Adam Ken-
nedy, who led off with a walk. The homer by Harris, a native of Cairo, Ga., who played for Atlanta in 2007, landed in the Braves’ bullpen behind the right-field wall.
“I’m a Georgia guy,” Harris said. “It’s always good to win here against your old team. It makes you feel better.”

prep football
pass to preserve last year’s 13-6 victory.
Round four of the early-season rivalry comes Friday night at Balzli Field when the teams kick off the 2010 season at 7:30 p.m.
“It just seems like they play us real well every year. I guess we’ve been real close in talent the last couple years,” Pelahatchie coach Bill Ward said. “The first game, these games it really is whoever makes the fewest mistakes is going to win.”
On paper, it appears Pela-hatchie has the edge this time around. It returns most of the key players, and 17 starters total, from last year’s team that went 7-5 and lost in the first round of the Class 2A playoffs.
Among those returning
starters are tailback Darryan Ragsdale and quarterback Labrandon Hill. Ragsdale rushed for 1,925 yards and 20 touchdowns in 2009, while Hill provided a solid threat in the passing game with 561 yards.
For a St. Al defense without a lot of experienced depth, stopping that combination will be a mighty challenge — and one they had trouble with last season. Ragsdale had 147 yards and two touch-downs, including a 56-yarder, against the Flashes.
“They’ve got a bunch of good athletes. The one we know we’ve got to stop, and it ain’t no secret, is Rags-dale,” St. Al coach B.J. Smith-hart said. “That’s what we’ve got to do this year is keep him in check and contain the
big plays to a minimum. He can take it 80, 90 yards in a second.”
St. Al counters with a fresh look in its offensive back-field. Senior Carlton Camp-bell, who had 317 yards in a backup role last year, takes over as the starting tailback.
In front of him is senior quarterback Ford Bieden-harn, who has never had a regular-season snap at the position. Fortunately for St. Al, it does have a big offen-sive line. Right tackle Matt Wooten is a three-year starter who earned All-Region 4-1A honors, and is joined by sophomores Tyler Matherne and Sage Lewis, and juniors Robert Arledge, Scott Johnston and Tyler Cranfield.
Wooten was confident his
group could control the game and help the Flashes keep Ragsdale and company off the field.
“Our line is pretty stacked. If we can block anybody we can run the ball. If we win or lose, it’s going to be up to us,” Wooten said.
Smithhart said the Flashes also need to do a better job of hanging onto the football than they did in last week’s jamboree game. A series of miscues allowed Trin-ity Episcopal to pull away in the second quarter for a 24-0 victory.
“Blocking, tackling, all that fundamental stuff,” Smith-hart said when asked what he was looking to improve upon this week. “We missed probably 10 open-field tack-les in that quarter.”
Busby.Busby spent more than a
decade at Porters Chapel in a variety of roles before leav-ing the school in a bitter split in 2008. Busby spent the 2009 season as an assistant at St. Aloysius — where, ironically, he coached against Tallulah in a 28-6 win in Week 2.
Busby and Weaver also served together as assistants on PCA’s football staff in 2005, helping the team reach the Class A semifinals.
“It’s kind of different being on the other side of the field. It’s going to seem weird look-ing across and seeing the gym instead of standing next to it,” Busby said. “All in all, it’s a game that I want to win. Deep down, whoever wins I’m OK with, but I want my team to win.”
Besides the coaching staffs, there’s few similari-ties between the teams that opened the 2009 season — Tallulah won 27-23 — and the ones that kick off the 2010 campaign.
Tallulah is returning just four starters from last year’s 7-5 playoff squad. Leading rusher Cody Landrem is back, but a lot of the team’s other offensive weapons graduated. Landrem ran for 875 yards last season, and is closing in on 3,000 for his career.
“We like what we’re seeing,” Busby said. “We’re working on the adjustments from our scrimmage and our passing routes. Everything we had in place is working, it’s just a matter of finish-ing it.”
PCA has only a handful of players back from last season. A number of gradu-ations, transfers and young players moving up in the ranks led to a de facto over-haul of the entire roster.
Among the new toys Weaver has to work with are freshman quarterback Jonah Masterson, receiver Chris Marshall and running back Steven Moore.
player — he’s huge,” Morgan said. “He’s a big-time play-maker. He makes two or three extraordinary plays a game in the film we’ve seen. We’re not going to adjust what we’re going to do. We’re going to play our defense. We’ll keep a safety over the top of him and put our best guy on him and play ball. We’ve got to take away their big plays and he’s their big-play guy.”
But the Greyhounds are far from a one-dog race. Run-ning back Dewayne Cherry, a burly 5-foot-11, 220-pound senior, is a home run threat any time he gets the ball. He rushed for 922 yards and seven touchdowns last season playing behind Allen Howze, who is now at South-ern Miss.
“They’re going to rely a lot on the heavy running of the tailback,” Morgan said. “And they’re going to use play-action on screens to get the ball to the Morrow kid.”
Garrett Somers, who threw two TD passes in last year’s Red Carpet Bowl win over
Vicksburg in mop-up duty, will take over the reins at quarterback. The Vikings will try to rachet up the pres-sure on him in his first var-sity start.
The defensive is keyed by Dawson Wells, a 210-pound senior linebacker who had 95 tackles and 11 sacks last season.
Another debut will be the Vikings’ new-look offense. Senior quarterback Beau Wallace will be running the show, but the offensive line is strong in talent, but sorely lacking in game experience.
His mobility will take some of the heat off a young line, who won’t have to hold their blocks as long.
“He is a kind of a wildcard,” Morgan said. “If a play is busted, he’s supposed to get us out of it. He’s the leader of our team. It helps with play-calling, that trust. It’s a big boost for our offense. He’s one of our better athletes and he fits the offense we’re going to run.”
players and I feel they will play us as hard as Warren Central did last year,” Justice said.
Stevens was glad to hear Justice’s compliments.
“I appreciate the com-ments. I just hope we can deliver,” Stevens said.
For the Gators to be suc-cessful, they will have to pro-tect junior quarterback Cam-eron Cooksey, who threw for 705 yards last season.
“We know Gulfport is going to be sound and be pretty methodical on offense. They have a good defensive line and a good offensive line. We can’t have turnovers and
we’re going to have to move the football in order to keep their offense off the field,” Stevens said.
The Gators are also expected to be better on defense, led by defensive ends Kederrick Parson and Namonta Gaines. Linebacker Korbin Richards could be a key playmaker.
“It will help if we could get a turnover like we did in the game with Ocean Springs. The big problem, however, was we didn’t do anything with it after we got the ball,” Stevens said.

A state-ment on his website said he died Wednesday. Edwards was hos-pitalized earlier this month in Denver after collapsing while on tour with Bonoff. He was airlifted to a hospital near his home in Santa Barbara where he died. After the Stone Poneys disband-ed after their 1967 breakthrough hit “Different Drum,” Edwards formed the folk-rock band Bryndle with singer-songwriter Wen-dy Waldman, Bonoff and Andrew Gold. He also was a support-ing guitarist and singer for Stevie Nicks, Don Henley, Brian Wil-son, Art Garfunkel, Vince Gill and others.Richard Lopez — An original member of the band Cannibal & the Headhunters which scored a 1965 hit with “Land of 1,000 Dances” has died. He was 65.Gene Aguilera, the group’s manager during a comeback a de-cade ago, said Lopez died of lung cancer July 30 at a conva-lescent hospital in Garden Grove, Calif. Lopez and three other East Los Angeles high school students formed the band in the 1960s. Lopez was nicknamed “Scar,” and “Cannibal” was Frank Garcia, who sings the iconic phrase “Naa na na na naa” on “Land of 1,000 Dances.” It spent 14 weeks on Billboard’s Top 100, reach-ing No. 30. The group opened for The Beatles and other groups. Lopez left before the band broke up in 1967. It reunited in 1996.

Judge dismisses lawsuit against JacksonA federal judge on Thursday dismissed a multimillion-dollar
lawsuit by a concert promoter against the late Michael Jackson over a failed reunion concert.
U.S. District Judge Harold Baer Jr. granted a motion by lawyers for Jackson’s estate to dismiss the case, citing a lack of evidence that the late King of Pop or his family were under a binding agreement to perform at a reunion concert.
AllGood Entertainment Inc., a company started in Morristown, N.J., sued Jackson for $40 million on June 10, 2009, roughly two weeks before the singer’s death in Los Angeles at age 50. It claimed Jackson and his then-manager broke a contract for a Jackson reunion show.
AllGood later filed a creditor’s claim with Jackson’s estate, claiming the potential value of the lawsuit was at least $300 mil-lion.
Baer determined that there was a letter of intent between Jackson’s then-manager, Frank DiLeo, and AllGood, but never an enforceable contract. He noted that neither Jackson nor any other members of the family who were to be involved in the show ever signed a contract.
Attorneys for Jackson’s estate and DiLeo contended that if there was a breach in the contract, AllGood broke the agree-ment first because it did not issue a payment to Jackson before a required deadline. Baer wrote that there was no evidence that AllGood suffered substantial economic damage because of the failed concert.
Martin’s book due in NovemberRicky Martin has picked an appropriate title for
his autobiography: “Me.”The Puerto Rican singer is set to release his
memoir on Nov. 2. It will also be released in Spanish the same day. That edition will be titled “Yo,” which is Spanish for “I” and “me.”
Martin has said that preparing to write the book was one of the reasons he decided to re-veal earlier this year that he is gay.
Martin said in a statement Thursday that the project led him to extract memories that he had erased from his mind. He says the book was not easy but allowed for an “incred-ible spiritual journey.”

Study: Smoking scenes down in top moviesNEW YORK (AP) —
There’s a lot less smoking in the movies these days, a new report shows.
Tobacco use on the silver screen peaked in 2005 and has been on the decline since, according to research that looked at the most popular films from 1991 to 2009.
Last year more than half of the 145 top movies released didn’t show any smoking at all. That’s a record for the past two decades. For films aimed at children or teens, the per-centage was even higher — 61 percent. However, 54 percent of the movies rated PG-13 did show tobacco use.
The report “shows that Hollywood is perfectly capa-ble of making movies with-out as much smoking and
people still come see them,” said the study’s lead author, Stan Glantz, director of the Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education at the University of California, San Francisco.
The report was released Thursday in a Centers for Dis-ease Control and Prevention publication.
Glantz and others have been pressuring movie studios for years to cut out smoking in movies marketed to chil-
dren and teens. Those efforts appear to be paying off, with studios adopting policies on smoking and putting anti-smoking messages on DVDs that depict smoking, he said.
The amount of smoking in PG-13-rated movies is of particular concern, though, because that’s where teens view it most, he said. The more on-screen smoking they see, the more likely they are to pick up the habit themselves, the study’s authors say.
“There’s a declining trend — which is good to see — but we haven’t made nearly enough progress,” said Ursula Bauer of the CDC.
After years of decline, the smoking rate for high school students has stalled at 1 in 5, which Bauer said could be partly due to the promotion of smoking in movies.

Spike Lee explores New Orleans’ woes in filmBy Frazier MooreAP television writer
NEW YORK — Spike Lee’s new HBO documentary starts on a high note: Super Bowl Sunday 2010, when the New Orleans Saints claim victory over the Indianapolis Colts.
Saints fans, many still reeling from Hurricane Katrina’s after-shocks, are deliriously happy.
“It’s a rebirth,” says an over-joyed New Orleans native.
“It’s divine intervention, man,” says another local.
But cautionary words are voiced as well. The Saints are world champions, but in the real world there are bills to pay and neighborhoods to rebuild.
Then, only 17 minutes into “If God Is Willing and da Creek Don’t Rise,” the BP oil spill enters the narrative.
“We sold our soul for the Super Bowl,” says Dean Blanchard, fearful that he might lose his seafood business.
The party is over.Lee, the gifted director and
documentarian, had long planned a return to the Gulf Coast for a five-year follow-up to his acclaimed “When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts.”
He began shooting Feb. 7, when the Super Bowl was played. The triumph by the Saints seemed a glorious con-clusion for his new film.
“We thought we had our ending on the first day,” Lee said in a recent interview. “Little did we know.”
By the time the offshore oil rig Deepwater Horizon exploded on April 20, killing 11 workers and releasing a gusher of oil, Lee had wrapped production and was well into the editing process.
“But I knew we had to make
that a part of the piece,” he said.
He does, dwelling on the BP disaster for roughly 40 min-utes of the four-hour, two-part “If God Is Willing,” which pre-mieres Monday and Tuesday on HBO at 8 p.m.
But there is much more on his mind and in his film.
The stage is set with pain-ful, all-too-familiar images of Katrina’s immediate wrath in 2005.
Then, as the film goes on, the government’s failure to protect
New Orleans from the storm surge is compounded by seem-ingly endless failures to aid the recovery. Former residents who want to come home remain dis-placed. Public education con-tinues to struggle. Health care needs are still unmet. The police department is in sham-bles. And on and on.
The five years didn’t pass without successes, and the film covers those as well. They include a legal victory against the Army Corps of Engineers for shoddy maintenance of a navigation channel that resulted in some of the worst flooding. And there are non-profit reconstruction efforts such as Make It Right, led by actor Brad Pitt, that have built affordable, storm-resistant homes in the Lower 9th Ward.
But then, just months after
the Super Bowl win, the BP disaster struck.
“The story was changing every day,” Lee recalled. “We had to keep adapting, to stay on top of it as best as possible.”
Scores of people share their stories on-camera, including ordinary, often overlooked local figures. There are also experts and advocates, plus familiar faces such as former Louisi-ana Gov. Kathleen Babineaux Blanco, New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu, former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin, as well as Pitt and fellow celebrity activist Sean Penn.
To his credit, former Fed-eral Emergency Management Agency Director Michael Brown is among those who participate.

Birkhead shares story of life with Anna Nicole SmithLOS ANGELES (AP) —
Larry Birkhead, one of the cen-tral figures in the Anna Nicole Smith drama, is returning to the witness stand to give jurors the inside story of his life with the late Playboy model and her drug use.
Birkhead, the father of Smith’s daughter, Dannielynn, was to testify today for a second day as a prosecution witness in the drug conspiracy trial of two doc-tors and Howard K. Stern, the man who once fought him for custody of Smith’s child. Also watching in court has been Virgie Arthur, Smith’s mother who also sought guardian-ship of baby Dannielynn when Smith died.
Birkhead, who won the battle with DNA tests, was being asked about Stern’s role in Smith’s drug-fueled existence. Birkhead said he saw Stern give her medicine when she didn’t feel well and knew he was picking up prescriptions for her at the pharmacy. Birk-head also said that when he once hid the powerful pain-killer from Smith, Stern called him and asked where it was.
“I was told by Howard she needed it to live, the Metha-done,” he said.
Prosecutors planned to have Birkhead identify videotapes of Smith before and during an
appearance at the American Music Awards in which she appeared to be drugged.
Birkhead testified Thursday he saw her taking numerous prescription drugs but that she told him she was not an addict.
He said that from the time
he moved in with Smith in late 2004 he was con-cerned about her excessive use of medi-cations and questioned
her about it.“She would
say, ’I’m in pain. I’m not a drug addict,”’ Birkhead recalled.
When he suggested she was taking too many drugs, she replied, “I have a high toler-ance because I’m in pain.”
An issue that has emerged in the three-week-old trial is whether Smith was an addict
or was dependent on drugs for pain.
Stern, Dr. Khristine Ero-shevich and Dr. Sandeep Kapoor are charged with pre-scribing to an addict as well as conspiring to provide excessive opiates and sedatives to the celebrity model. They are not charged with causing her 2007 overdose death in Florida.
Stern’s sister, Bonnie Stern, testified Thursday under a grant of immunity from pros-ecutors. She identified e-mails in which Smith pleaded for her to have drugs sent to her in the Bahamas. But Bonnie Stern said she didn’t remember sending anything.

Dad’s cheating strains woman’s trust in boyfriendDear Abby: My father is
having an affair — another one. It is not the first time I have found evidence of it. I was using his computer to work on my grandmother’s memorial and an IM popped up from a woman telling him to meet her at a family event my mother was not supposed to attend. Her message to Dad was extremely sexual and very upsetting.
The “other woman” is an old high school friend of my par-ents’ and a friend of the family. I have confronted my father in the past, even threatened to end my relationship with him if it didn’t stop.
My heart breaks for Mama, but she loves Dad so much she will stand by him through anything. Somehow, I always manage to get stuck in the middle of their marital prob-lems, and I was even blamed for their separation five years ago.
This has affected my rela-tionship with my boyfriend because I have extreme trust issues. I find myself hating my father more and more each day. Please help me before I lose my sanity. — Daughter of a Cheater
Dear Daughter: For your own emotional well-being you must remove yourself from the drama and dysfunction in your parents’ marriage. You cannot fix what’s wrong with it; your father doesn’t want to and your mother appears to have made peace — if you can call it that — with his infidelities.
Not all men are like your father. Many men respect women and are capable of having loving, monogamous marriages. You need profes-sional help, and with good reason, and I urge you to get it. If you don’t, your hatred of your father may color the way you regard all men, and it will always be a problem.
Dear Abby: We have some longtime friends, the “Got-rocks,” who frequently come over for dinner. When they do, they bring “house gifts” — commercially made cakes,
Danish, etc. that are well past their expiration dates — then brag about how much they saved on the food.
My wife and I limit our intake of sugar, high-fat and processed foods, and the Got-rocks are aware of it because we have told them, but they persist. I am offended that they would offer low-quality food that I wouldn’t serve an animal.
What should I do? Accept the garbage gracefully, not serve it and deep-six it after they leave, or tell them to stop bringing it?
Incidentally, money isn’t an issue here; they proudly admit they are cheap. — Offended in Pennsylvania
Dear Offended: Having been put on notice that you and your wife do not consume sugary, high-fat and processed foods, the Gotrocks already know they are bringing an inappro-priate house gift. Here’s how I’d handle it: The next time they come, make a point of serving their gift to THEM for dessert — while you and your wife enjoy a healthy portion of fresh fruit. If they enjoy it — fine. If they look askance, you will have made your point.
Waste not, want not.Dear Abby: How do you
respond to an overweight person who says she’s fat? Or a short person who says she’s short? Or to anyone else who points out a true physical flaw that goes against today’s ridic-ulous standard of beauty? I am in a sorority and this hap-pens all the time.
Please don’t tell me to say that their personalities are beautiful — even if it’s true — because what these girls want to hear is that they are physi-cally beautiful. — The Ugly Truth Fairy
Dear Ugly Truth Fairy: Don’t lie. But if you’re socially adept, you’ll find something nice to say — unless you want to be as welcome as a skunk at a picnic. The girl with the weight problem may have beautiful skin or a fabulous head of hair. And the short girl may have such beautiful pos-ture that people regard her as graceful. Get it?

Menopausal womanhas difficulty sleeping
Dear Dr. Gott: I have been going through menopause for the past seven years and have made it through the difficult phase. However, I have a prob-lem staying asleep. I fall asleep most of the time with no prob-lem but will stay asleep for about two hours. Then I can’t fall asleep again.
Dear Reader: As you are aware, hormonal changes occur during menopause. Those changes can produce symptoms of insomnia that can range from transient and temporary to chronic and annoying. A woman actually goes through three phases: perimenopause, menopause and postmenopause. During the first stage, estrogen levels can decline, resulting in abnor-mal cycles, hot flashes and temporary insomnia. Meno-pause occurs when a woman has remained free of a cycle for 12 months. A woman may awaken during the night (or whenever she sleeps) lead-ing to chronic insomnia. Post-menopause can lead to still more pronounced sleep dis-turbances such as sleep apnea and restless-legs syndrome. So yes, there is definitely a strong link.
Estrogen is produced in the ovaries and adrenal glands in females. In menopausal women, it is prescribed to reduce the unpleasant symp-toms that can plague a woman. Some physicians might choose to prescribe hormone-replace-ment therapy if symptoms of menopause are severe. I don’t know that I would be one of them. That decision is best left for you to determine with your gynecologist, based on your full medical history. You might consider modifying your diet to include cucumbers, soy sprouts, garlic, green beans, yams, apples, corn, peas, olive oil, sunflower seeds and beets. During waking hours, consider adding yoga or another exer-cise program. Retire at about the same time each evening. Be sure your room is dark, quiet and free of distractions. Attempt to clear issues and coordinate activities before retiring so you don’t awaken at 2 a.m. to problem solve. On particularly difficult evenings, consider melatonin, an over-the-counter sleep aid.
Dear Dr. Gott: I have an itchy scalp and body. It’s not ringworm. I get small bumps on the skin when it itches. My doctor gave me pills that help on my body and lotion for my scalp, but these last only about 15 minutes.
Dear Reader: There are numerous causes of itchy skin, most of which are harm-less. Then there’s the itch from stress, anxiety, hyperthyroid-ism, polycythemia, an allergic reaction, sun exposure, der-matitis, psoriasis, eczema and
liver or kidney disease. If your physician is unable to
prescribe something for con-trol that is effective, request a referral to a dermatologist who can sort out the problem.

TOMORROW’S HOROSCOPEBY BERNICE BEDE OSOL • NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSOCIATION
TWEEN 12 & 20BY DR. ROBERT WALLACE • NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSOCIATION
If tomorrow is your birthday: Some significant social changes could be in the offing for you in the year ahead, which will make your life a lot more exciting. More involvements with new peo-ple and new interests are indicated.Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — A social contact you make could turn out to be quite lucky for you, bringing about something that you’ve been hoping would happen for a long time. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Although a problem might be sud-denly dumped in your lap, you’ll have to act and think with alac-rity. Your readiness will determine your ability to take advantage of it.Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Any kind of joint involvement will have an excellent chance for success, whether you’re in it for business reasons or simply for a social purpose. Actually, you might get involved in both.Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Spend your energies on endeav-ors or efforts that could bring about profitable opportunities. You’re especially lucky in things that pertain to making money or that can advance your financial interests. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Your warmth and dynamic personality make such a favorable impression on others that people who meet you for the first time will be extremely desir-ous of getting to know you better. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Some kind of material situation that has been disturbing to you lately should work out to your liking at last. Hidden factors might bring this about in a favor-able manner.Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Make certain that you’re around friends who know where the action is, how to have a good time, and make sure that you’re included in the plans. Fun people will make fun things happen.Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — Your chart indicates that there are more possibilities around you than usual for acquiring material gains. Don’t sit at home doing nothing: go where the action is so that you can cash in.Aries (March 21-April 19) — Regardless of how unique your ideas may be, getting the support of others is likely to be easier than you think, especially if you lay all your cards out on the ta-ble. People will like what they see.Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Financial trends that are presently taking place can have a greater positive effect on your security than you ever suspected. Gains could come to you from more than one source.Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Don’t let some unexpected changes in your social plans upset you, because, in reality, they will end up working in your favor. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Developments that require a delicate touch can serve to awaken your resourcefulness, and will end up being a fortunate occurrence, so go with the flow. When the dust settles, you’ll end up on top.
Dr. Wallace: You keep telling teens that making lots of mon-ey is not the main goal of attaining a college education. What a crock. People go to college to get good jobs, which result in tons of money. Please be honest about why people attend col-lege.
I have just finished my junior year at Notre Dame University, and I have one more year before I start raking in the cash. That’s why I’m attending Notre Dame. — Curtis, South Bend, Ind.
Curtis: Notre Dame is a superb educational institution with extremely high academic requirements. I offer my congratu-lations for being accepted at Notre Dame. You must be a very bright student. But before beginning to rake in all that cash, I hope you will be employed by a profitable company that is owned by a member of your family. If you haven’t noticed, the world is suffering from a severe economic slowdown and the job market in our country is relatively weak. I hope things will be better a year from now when you graduate. Hopefully, you can be looking for employment that offers the most cash.
Now, I’ll give you my point of view: Those who attend college mainly to rake in the cash sometimes fall flat on their faces. On the other hand, those who attend college to get the best possi-ble education usually become superb employees who wind up in key positions that bring financial security.
If the job market is still sluggish when you graduate, it might be wise for you to enter a master’s program at Notre Dame. The more education, the better chance for finding employment and the sooner you will begin “raking.”
