21 ‘pardoned’ inmates to stay in jail for nowBy Emily Wagster PettusThe Associated Press
JACKSON — Twenty-one inmates who received par-dons or other reprieves from former Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour remain in cus-tody until a court battle is resolved over whether Bar-bour properly handled their orders to go free.
According to Mississippi Department of Corrections records obtained by The Associated Press:
• Three of the 21 were con-victed of murder. Two of those received full pardons, and one received a medical release.
• One was convicted of The associaTed press
Sisters released last yearwill ask Bryant for pardonBy Holbrook MohrThe Associated Press
JACKSON — Two sisters released from a Mississippi prison last year on condition that one donate a kidney to the other were saddened and disappointed they weren’t among dozens receiving full pardons from the gover-nor, one of the women said Thursday.
As one of his last acts as governor, Haley Bar-bour granted more than 200 reprieves, including to those convicted of murder. Most were full pardons, though some received suspended sentences.
Jamie and Gladys Scott had served nearly 16 years
of their life sentences for armed robbery when they were released on Jan. 7, 2011. Barbour freed Jamie Scott because she suffers from kidney failure, but he agreed to let Gladys go on the con-dition she follow through on her offer to donate a kidney to her sister within one year. Barbour noted at the time that Jamie Scott’s dialy-sis was costing Mississippi about $200,000 a year.
Gladys Scott said Thursday that she “just started crying” when she found out they didn’t get a full pardon. Scott said she is in nursing school, but won’t be able to become a nurse unless her record is

House panelhires aidefor speaker:$110K yearBy Jeff AmyThe Associated Press
JACKSON — The Mis-sissippi House of Rep-resentatives will pay $110,000 a year to Nathan Wells, a former campaign worker and state Repub-lican Party employee, to act as an assistant to new House Speaker Philip Gunn, R-Clinton.
“I would use him basi-cally as a chief of staff,” said Gunn, who hasn’t settled on a title for Wells.
The House Manage-ment Committee voted unanimously Thursday to hire Wells, a 30-year-old Brandon resident who has assisted Gunn and others in their campaigns. Gunn said he needs some-one to act as a liaison for him. Gunn noted that the lieutenant governor, who leads the Senate, has a large staff.
“Our speaker needs someone like that in his office, and probably others,” said Rep. Ray Rogers, R-Pearl.
Former Speaker Billy McCoy, a Rienzi Democrat, who repeatedly voiced pride in the frugal opera-tion of the House, had only a secretary officially assigned to him.
Gunn said the new posi-tion is needed to lessen his workload and reduce the political duties of the House clerk, now Andrew Ketchings. Gunn said the previous House Clerk, Don Richardson, advised McCoy on policy and helped assign bills. He said those duties had polit-ical overtones he wants Ketchings to avoid.

4,000 workers to be off and on in Entergy upgradeBy Pamela [email protected]
Four thousand temporary work-ers will cycle in and out of Vicksburg and Warren and Claiborne counties in the next six to eight months, as Grand Gulf Nuclear Power Station completes a scheduled refueling and an upgrade that will make it the most powerful plant in the country, a local civic group was told Thursday.
Darron Case, Entergy Mississippi’s manager for resource planning, told the Vicksburg Rotary Club that the upgrade, which will increase Grand Gulf’s power output by about 178 mega-watts or 13 percent, is under way at the nuclear plant about 30 miles south of Vicksburg in Claiborne County.
“It will be the same facility, with the
same personnel working there, but will produce increased electricity,” Case said. “This will be the single largest upgrade ever completed and will make Grand Gulf again the single largest power producer in the U.S.”
Case said the improvements will pri-marily increase its “steam handling” capability, not its nuclear components.
About 700 full-time employees, many of whom live in Vicksburg, normally
staff Grand Gulf. The refueling outage and power upgrade will require about 4,000 specialists working temporarily at various times, said Case.
The estimate is nearly double what had previously been predicted to fill travel trailer parks, hotels, motels and short-term rentals in the area and increase receipts at local shops, restau-rants and other retail outlets.
Grand Gulf’s last refueling outage early in 2010 — bringing about 1,000 temporary workers — was credited for a nearly 15 percent increase in Vicks-burg hotel and bed and breakfast occu-pancy rates over the same period in the previous year.
The 2012 refueling shutdown is sched-uled for mid-February. Refueling out-ages nor-mally last See Entergy, Page A7.

Local MLK events beginwith Saturday paradeBy Pamela [email protected]
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. famously exhorted all people to community ser-vice when he said, “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is: ‘What are you doing for others?’”
Events scheduled in Vicksburg to mark the civil rights leader’s 83rd birth-day continue that call to service, and will kick off Saturday at 2 p.m. with the eighth annual MLK Day parade along down-town Wash-ington Street.
“We want to see Vicks-burg grow and become a more diverse city, not just to say it but to show it,” said the parade’s organizer, Syl-vester Walker. “I think we do that by getting back to service. Young people often think it’s a bad thing to be a servant, but that’s not how Dr. King lived his life. He believed it was a great thing to serve others.”
The federal holiday in King’s name, established 26 years ago, became in 1993 the only holiday to be set aside by Congress as a national day of service. King was 39 when he was assassi-nated in 1968 in Memphis.
This year’s parade theme is The Dream Continues, Let Freedom Ring, with co-grand marshals, Walker said — local fitness enthu-siast and business owner Linda Fondren and inventor and Vicksburg native Law-rence J. Hardge, founder of Hardge Investments.
About 100 participat-ing groups and individ-uals are expected, from school marching bands to churches and businesses that will enter floats, he said. Donors, sponsors and last-minute parade entrants may contact Walker at 601-678-8263.
At 3 p.m. Sunday, elected and community officials will participate in a com-munity forum, including a question and answer period on improving the city.
Ruth Lowe said the event at Greater Grove Street M.B. Church, 2715 Alcorn Drive, will feature state Rep. George Flaggs, Mayor Paul Winfield, District Attorney Ricky Smith, Vicksburg Warren School District Superintendent Dr. Eliza-beth Duran Swinford and Grove Street’s pastor, the Rev. Casey Fisher. Admis-sion is free, and the forum is sponsored by the local chapter of the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority, Lowe said.
Monday, a state and national holiday, will fea-ture both morning and eve-ning events to honor King, who visited Vicksburg sev-eral times during the years he worked to foster civil rights.
The events are sponsored by different groups but both center on the same theme — Remember, Celebrate, Act: A Day On, Not a Day Off.
At 8:30 a.m., the educa-tion foundation of the Omi-cron Rho Lambda chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Frater-nity hosts its 22nd annual scholarship breakfast at the Vicksburg Convention Center.
This year’s keynote speaker will be Dr. M. Christopher Brown II, pres-ident of Alcorn State Uni-versity. The program will also feature a soloist and awards of scholarships to local high school seniors and cash prizes to elemen-tary school students who wrote essays about King, said Lewis Burke, president of the local chapter of the sponsoring fraternity.
Attendance in recent years has topped 200 people, including elected officials and community and busi-ness leaders. Admission is $20 per person, with the money going toward the scholarships and prizes.
Monday night’s program, set for 6 p.m. at the Vicks-burg Auditorium, is spon-sored by the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Day Committee, the First Mississippi Chapter of Blacks in Government and the Vicksburg branch of the NAACP.
Keynote speaker will be Sandra Jaribu Hill, execu-tive director of the Missis-sippi Workers’ Center for Human Rights. Admission is free.
Others on the program include soloist Jennifer Banks accompanied by C.J. Williams; the Warren Central High School Navy JROTC; and a number of speakers and groups from local churches.

2nd arrest made in crossfire shootingA Vicksburg man faces
charges of aggravated assault and attempted aggravated assault in a Dec. 29 shooting in which a woman caught in the crossfire on Patton Street was wounded, Lt. Sandra Williams said.
Williams said officers arrested Joseph Lane, No. 5 Lydia Place, about 4:30 p.m. Thursday on a warrant charg-ing him in the shooting. He was being held without bond in the county jail pending an ini-tial appearance today in Vicks-burg Municipal Court. She said officers on patrol saw him at Washington and Mattingly streets and arrested him.
Lane is the second person arrested in the shooting, which occurred about 12:30 p.m. Dec. 29. Police arrested George Love Jr., 16, 804 Patton St., at the scene and charged him as an adult with attempted aggra-vated assault. He was later released on a $15,000 bond.
Williams said Love and Lane were shooting at each other from opposite sides of the street when Shirel Hall, 18, 1200 Mission 66, drove through the street and was wounded. She was later treated and released from University of
Mississippi Medical Center.
Shopper arrested,charged with drugs
A shoplifting call at The Home Depot, 50 Halls Ferry Park, resulted in the arrest of a Vicksburg man for possession of the prescription painkiller oxycodone, Vicksburg police Lt. Sandra Williams said.
She said officers responding to the 2:35 p.m. call arrested Benjamin Brewer, 30,1104 Free-town Road, on the drug charge after the oxycodone was found during a search. He was released on $15,000 bond.
Convict held again,for drug charges
A Vicksburg man faces drug charges after his arrest Thurs-day at the Mississippi Depart-ment of Corrections office, 2409 Clay St., Vicksburg police Lt. Sandra Williams said.
She said Eto Moore, 33, 1304 E. Magnolia St., was being held without bond in the Warren County Jail pending an initial
court appearance. The MDOC has placed a hold on Moore for probation violation, according to county booking records.
He was arrested as he reported in to his probation officer.

Mississippi gets C-, ranks 45th in school ratingsBy Jeff AmyThe Associated Press
JACKSON — Mississippi’s K-12 schools once again trail in an influential measure of school performance.
Though it gets good marks for high standards, Educa-tion Week’s Quality Counts report gives the state’s school system a C- overall, saying the state is particularly lagging on test scores and the amount of
money it spends on schools.Mississippi ranked 45th
among the states, with South Dakota getting the worst grade, a D+. Education Week gave its best grade, a B+, to Maryland.
The publisher of the weekly education newspaper gave Mississippi an ‘F’ on K-12 achievement, which is mostly based on scores on the National Association of Edu-cational Progress, although
scores did show improvement in some areas.
“Fourth-and eighth-grade NAEP scores are definitely something we have to improve on,” said Pete Smith, a spokes-man for the state Department of Education.
Mississippi did get an A for its state standards, which Smith attributed to recent upgrades.
“These reports tell us things we should already know,”
said Rachel Canter, executive director of Mississippi First, a group pushing for changes in how the state educates its children.
Incoming Gov. Phil Bryant has vowed to focus on improv-ing reading in early grades and to create options for high school students to enroll simultaneously at commu-nity colleges to discourage dropouts.
He also says he supports
charter schools to offer alter-natives to traditional public schools, more prekindergar-ten classes, and higher quali-fying standards for teachers. But though he said he doesn’t want to further cut the K-12 budget, he has discouraged hopes that Mississippi will spend significantly more on public schools.
“We must change our dis-cussion of education from one only of dollars and cents to
one that makes sense,” Bryant said in his inaugural address Tuesday.
Education is also getting renewed attention from others in Mississippi. Improving edu-cational achievement emerged as the top priority of people who participated in meetings as part of the Blueprint Missis-sippi strategic planning effort, sponsored by the Mississippi Economic Council.
Court ordersnew trialin hot-oildeath case
JACKSON (AP) — The Mississippi Supreme Court has ordered a new trial for a Hancock County woman con-victed of killing her husband with hot cooking oil.
The court on Thursday denied a motion by prosecu-tors to reinstate Edna Mae Sanders’ conviction and sentence.
Sanders’ conviction and life sentence was overturned in March by the state Court of Appeals. The Mississippi Attorney General’s office peti-tioned the Supreme Court to reverse the Appeals Court.
Edna Mae Sanders was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in the 2008 death of Sherman Sanders. Sherman Sanders died about a week after he was burned at the couple’s Diamondhead home in 2006.
In court documents, Sand-ers claimed the trial judge excluded evidence of her alle-gations of her husband’s vio-lent history and character.
Prosecutors said there are no records of Edna Sanders reporting prior allegations of abuse.
They said Sanders poured the hot oil on her 53-year-old husband while he was sleep-ing at their home on July 27, 2006.
The Appeals Court said in its ruling that Sanders’ state of mind during the attack, and the grounds for her rea-sonable apprehension that she and her children were in serious imminent danger were evidence that the jury should have been allowed to hear.

Teen declared dead as van der Slootsays guilty to killing woman in Peru
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — The parents of Natalee Hol-loway, the American teenager who disappeared in Aruba in 2005, say their ordeal hasn’t ended with a judge declaring their daughter dead. Their lawyers say they hope a young Dutchman seen leaving a bar with Mississippi native Hollo-way on the last day she was seen alive might ultimately be brought before a U.S. court on charges stemming from the case.
Joran van der Sloot, 24, pleaded guilty Wednesday in Peru to the 2010 slaying of a young woman he had met in a Lima casino. That plea from the Dutchman described as the prime suspect in the Holloway case came hours before Thurs-day’s hearing in a Birmingham court where Dave and Beth
Holloway watched the difficult step of a judge ruling their daughter legally dead.
“We’ve been dealing with her death for
the last 6½ years,” Dave
Holloway said after Thursday’s hearing. He said the judge’s order closes one chapter in the ordeal, but added: “We’ve still got a long way to go to get justice.”
Thursday’s hearing was scheduled before van der Sloot — who had been questioned in Holloway’s disappearance — pleaded guilty to the 2010 murder of a 21-year-old Peru-vian, Stephany Flores. Flores was slain five years to the day
after Holloway, an 18-year-old from the wealthy Birmingham suburb of Mountain Brook, disappeared.
Dave Holloway said he hopes van der Sloot, who awaits sen-tencing, gets a 30-year prison term sought by Peruvian pros-ecutors. Shortly after Flores’ death on May 30, 2010, van der Sloot told police he had killed the woman in Peru in a fit of rage after she discovered on his laptop his connection to Hol-loway’s disappearance. Police forensic experts disputed the claim.
Attorneys said both parents spoke of hopes that van der Sloot’s next stop will be Bir-mingham, where he faces fed-eral charges accusing him of extorting $25,000 from Beth Holloway to reveal the location of her daughter’s body.

One killed, one injuredin Jackson shooting
JACKSON (AP) — Police are investigating a double shoot-ing that left one woman dead and the suspected shooter critically wounded at a Jack-son home.
Hinds County Coroner Sharon Grisham-Stewart said 28-year-old Charity Porter was shot three times — once in the neck, chest and abdomen.
Porter was found dead lying by the front door around 1 p.m. Thursday when police arrived at the home in the 2300 block
of Lake Glen Drive in north-west Jackson.
Colendula Green, spokes-woman for the Jackson Police Department, would not release the name of the man suspected of shooting the woman. She said he was found with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. He was taken to the University of Mis-sissippi Medical Center with injuries that Green described as life-threatening.
9 shot, 4 dead in New OrleansNEW ORLEANS (AP) — A
bloody stretch of shootings in New Orleans got deadlier Thursday morning when nine people were shot and four killed.
Police said three suspects burst into a home about 89 a.m. in eastern New Orleans with guns blazing, shooting five people, two of whom were killed.
The three survivors were transported to a hospital, where one man later died, according to the Orleans Parish Coroner’s Office.
The gunmen had fled by the time officers arrived, but their car was spotted and police chased it. When the car crashed, Deputy Super-intendent Kirk Bouyelas said a man got out of the vehicle and fired at the officers. The officers returned fire, killing him and injuring a man and woman who were also in the car.
The injured occupants of the car were taken to a hospital,
Bouyelas said. Their condi-tions were not immediately available. Upon their released, they will be booked with the
attempted murder of a policeman and the murders in the house, he said. One policeman was also taken to a hospital suf-
fering from what Bouyelas described as a “graze wound” to his leg.
Bouyelas could not say how many shots were fired. How-ever, nearly three dozen evi-dence cones were placed at the scene.
The shootings follow four separate shootings Wednes-day in which eight people were shot, including a 12-year-old girl. Also Wednesday, a suspect fired at police before climbing a fence at Nelson Ele-mentary School. That forced police to lockdown the school and evacuate the students and faculty.
No one was injured and all students and faculty were safely evacuated.
Bold plan proposed to save coastal La.involves $50 billion, 50-year timeline
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A $50 billion, 50-year pro-posal aspires to stop coastal land loss in Louisiana, build new levee systems to protect cities and even begin to slowly reverse the trend of eroding marsh that has turned the entire southern portion of the state into one of the nation’s most vulnerable regions to sea level rise.
On Thursday, Gov. Bobby Jindal’s coastal team said it would like to spend billions of dollars the state expects to get over the next half-cen-tury from increased royalties from offshore drilling, fines from the BP PLC oil spill and other sources to try to save the coast. The idea is gar-nering praise from some sci-entists and skepticism from others who openly wonder if the coast should be saved.
Since the 1930s, the state’s coast has lost about 1,900 square miles, an area larger than Rhode Island. Louisi-ana’s delta, created by the Mississippi River, has been
falling apart because of levees on the Mississippi, oil drilling and other causes.
Since the 1990s, the federal and state governments have spent hundreds of millions of dollars on coastal restoration, but those efforts have been unable to stop land loss and the White House has backed plans for a much more aggres-
sive program to save coastal Louisiana from disappearing.
“Our choice is simple: embrace a robust suite of solu-tions that address our crisis head on, or give up on the coast,” the plan says.
Optimistically, the plan if carried out foresees an end to land loss in 30 years and cre-ating up to 859 square miles of land over the next five decades. If nothing is done to stem the rising seas and land loss, the plan predicts the state would lose 1,756 square miles over that time.
Much of that new land, the plan says, would be built by opening up diversions on the Mississippi River and the Atchafalaya River to flush sediment and freshwater into marshlands now sinking and eroding. Also, it calls for build-ing new ridges, pumping sed-iment into eroded marshes, building new shorelines, shor-ing up coastal spots that have fallen apart and pouring sand onto disappearing barrier islands.
Beth Holloway leaves a hearing Thursday in Birmingham, Ala.

OUR OPINION
InternetThe most free form of communicationThe Internet is the most
free form of communi-cation ever developed. Anyone can put up a web-site or blog and spout opinions — whether bril-liant, inane or very wrong.
But governments, in their lust to control our lives, just can’t leave the Internet alone. The latest threat comes from an agency of the United Nations, the 193-member International Telecom-munications Union. Mem-bers include North Korea, Cuba, Iran, China, Sudan, Saudi Arabia and other governments not exactly known for embracing free speech.
America is “asleep at the router” regarding U.N. attempts to take over the Internet, Federal Commu-nications Commissioner Robert McDowell warned Dec. 19. He was speaking before the editorial board of the Washington Times. “Thus far, those who are pushing for new intergov-ernmental powers over the Internet are far more energized and organized than those who favor the Internet freedom and prosperity.” He said that many foreign govern-ments are upset at what they see as U.S. control of the Internet.
The Times reported that the ITU “will meet
in Dubai next December (2012) to renegotiate the 24-year-old treaty that deals with international oversight of the Inter-net. A growing number of countries are pushing for greater governmental control and management of the Web’s availabil-ity, financial model and infrastructure.”
In fact, the United States government has only nominal control over the Internet, Jim Harper told us; he’s director of infor-mation policy studies at the libertarian Cato Insti-tute. The key to control is the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. ICANN assigns a name and numerical address for every Internet domain. This keeps the Internet uniform globally. It truly is a cohesive “net,” instead of a collection of separate systems.
This duty formerly was informally performed by the U.S. government. But in 1998, President Bill Clinton spun off ICANN, which is a nonprofit head-quartered in Marina del Rey, Calif. Harper said that despite its location in the United States, ICANN so far is basically “free of government control. This is a mushy organiza-tion that sort of works.” Keeping ICANN indepen-
dent “is a long-running battle that will continue forever.”
Some people don’t like that. Regimes such as those in Iran, Saudi Arabia and China want more control to censor the Net. And, Harper said, “European bureau-crats want to make sure the Internet is run with ‘public values’ in mind” — a socialist attitude.
Another threat comes from our own Congress in the form of the Stop Online Piracy Act, House Resolution 3261, by Rep. Lamar Smith, R-Texas. We have criticized it before for trying to take over the Internet to pre-vent “piracy” of videos, music and other informa-tion. As we have noted, sufficient safeguards already exist for online copyrights. No further leg-islation is needed.
Harper warned that passing SOPA would put the U.S. government in charge of the Internet, which then would “just give the Europeans an excuse to try to take con-trol.” That is another reason to defeat SOPA.
Benign neglect is the best way to treat the Internet. The U.S. govern-ment should resist U.N. meddling. Information wants to be free.

Q: I really enjoy reading your column. I need some advice. As a member of a labor union for 20 years, I have between $35,000 and $40,000 in what they call a “pension trust
account.” I ’ m n o longer a member of this union and would like to put my money into some t y p e o f account elsewhere.
Is there anywhere I can move this money and be able to get some of it out at a later date to pay off my bills (about $10,000) and be debt-free? With the economy going like it is, I’m thinking all of the money won’t be there for me by the time I’m old enough to retire. (I’m 48 now.) — S.P., via e-mail
A: The first thing you must do is contact the labor union where you were a member for so many years. Find out exactly what rights, privi-leges and responsibilities you have under this pension trust account. Whether there is any way this money can be with-drawn is determined by this pension program’s rules.
Write to the program admin-istrators and request a writ-ten response. Should they not respond, you might then look into whether a state agency can make an inquiry on your behalf or, in the alternative, have an attorney contact them. There is nothing more to be said until you find out what the pension’s position is in this matter.

Coke saysit issuedfungicidetip to FDA
WASHINGTON (AP) — Coca-Cola Co. acknowledged Thursday it was the company that alerted federal regulators about low levels of fungicide in its own orange juice and in competitors’ juice, prompt-ing juice prices to rise and increased government test-ing for the residue.
The Food and Drug Adminis-tration and the Environmental Protection Agency have said orange juice is safe to drink and the levels found are below levels of concern.
Atlanta-based Coca-Cola, which makes the Minute Maid and Simply Orange brands of orange juice, said Thursday it had notified FDA of the low levels of the fungicide car-bendazim in the company’s orange juice and in competi-tors’ juice.
The FDA had said Monday that an unnamed company had told the agency about the fungicide and confirmed Wednesday the company was Coca-Cola.
Painkillerwill worsendrug abuse,experts fear
NEW YORK (AP) — A second drug company has confirmed it plans to market a new form of the powerful and addictive painkiller hydro-codone, worrying experts who fear a narcotics “arms race” that could worsen a national problem with prescription drug abuse.
Israel-based Teva Pharma-ceuticals says its product, TD Hydrocodone, could be worth as much as $500 million annu-ally in sales. The drug is in the final stages of testing, but the company has not yet applied for Food and Drug Adminis-tration approval.
Four companies have been working to develop pure forms of hydrocodone, the main ingredient in Vicodin, Lortab and other painkillers. They have been mostly quiet about their plans.
But William Marth, chief executive of the company’s North Wales, Pa.-based North American division, gave a preview of TD Hydrocodone
during an investors’ confer-ence in San Francisco.
“We believe that’s another product that will get approved and can be a three-, four-, $500-million product in a couple of years,” Marth said.
He said the drug could be on the market in the “relatively near future,” adding it should replace revenue lost when the patent on another Teva drug, the multiple sclerosis treatment Copaxone, expires in 2014.
A recording of the speech was posted on the company’s website on Thursday.
Teva did not respond to requests for more informa-tion. But documents filed with the National Institutes of Health show the company has been testing 12-hour,
extended-release pills contain-ing up to 45 milligrams of pure hydrocodone.
Existing medicines like Vico-din, which are not extended-release, contain no more than 10 milligrams of hydrocodone mixed with a nonaddictive painkiller like acetaminophen or ibuprofen.
Another company, San Diego-based Zogenix, plans to file an application early this year for another pure hydro-codone product, Zohydro.
Purdue Pharma, the Stam-ford, Conn.-based maker of OxyContin, and Denmark-based Egalet are also work-ing on hydrocodone pills, according to documents they have filed with the U.S. government.

Documents show how Fedmissed housing collapse
WASHINGTON (AP) — Ben Bernanke presided over his first meeting as Federal Reserve chairman in March 2006 believing the nation’s economy could pull off a “soft landing” from falling home prices. Three months later, Ber-nanke had begun to grasp that he and others had underesti-mated the risk housing posed to the economy.
Newly released transcripts of Fed meetings during Ber-nanke’s first year as chairman show that, among Fed officials, he often expressed the most concern about housing. But no official, according to the tran-scripts, recognized the extent of the damage a housing bubble would cause. A year later, the housing market’s collapse helped send the nation into its worst recession since the Great Depression.
In fact, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, then a Fed official, expressed confidence in September 2006 that “collateral damage” from housing could
be avoided. The transcripts released Thursday covered the eight meetings of the cen-tral bank’s chief policymaking body, the Federal Open Market Committee, during 2006. That included the last meeting of Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan in January of that year and Bernanke’s first meeting in March after he had succeeded Greenspan as chair-man. The Fed releases minutes of the FOMC discussions three weeks after the meetings but full transcripts do not come out until five years later.
The transcripts for 2006 show that at first Bernanke did not express concern about the cooling of the housing market after a boom that had pushed sales and home prices to record levels.
“I agree with most of the com-mentary that the strong fun-damentals support a relatively soft landing in housing,” Ber-nanke told his fellow FOMC members at his first meeting as chairman in March.

about six weeks. The power upgrade is
expected to be completed by summer to early fall, Case said.
Entergy Mississippi is also completing a $200 million purchase of a natural gas-fired plant in West Jackson, Case said. The purchase allows the utility to increase power production at one-third the cost of building a new plant, he told Rotarians.
Entergy will spend about $750 million in the next five years and up to $2 billion in the next 10 years to maintain its current equipment and plants, which include Vicks-burg’s Baxter Wilson facility as well as Grand Gulf.
Baxter Wilson, which can burn natural gas and fuel oil in electricity production, was built in 1966.
Grand Gulf station was built in the 1970s and 1980s,
and began operating in 1985. The plant uses a controlled nuclear reaction to generate heat to boil water.
The resulting steam is piped under pressure to a turbine, which spins to gen-erate electricity that goes onto a grid with power from other plants.
The station is in the process of obtaining license renewal to operate for 20 more years.
be a clerk for all the body,” Gunn said of the former Republican state House member from Natchez.
The committee voted to pay Ketchings $112,500 a year, about $30,000 less than the previous clerk. Gunn said Ketchings’ salary is equal to what the former state repre-sentative from Natchez was making previously.
“There was an overwhelm-ing belief that the previous
clerk was making too much, and I thought a $30,000 sav-ings was appropriate,” Gunn said.
The committee also agreed to pay former House clerk Ed Perry at a weekly rate equal to Ketchings’ for about two months of work help-ing Ketchings learn the job. Officials said Perry doesn’t plan to work beyond the end of February, meaning he will make about $20,000.
President Obama seeks power to merge agenciesWASHINGTON (AP) —
President Barack Obama will ask Congress today for greater power to shrink the federal government, and his first idea is merging six sprawling trade and commerce agencies whose overlapping programs can be baffling to businesses, a senior administration official said.
Obama will call on Congress to give him a type of reorganiza-tional power last held by a pres-ident when Ronald Reagan was in office. The Obama version would be a so-called consolida-tion authority allowing him to propose mergers that promise to save money and help con-sumers. The deal would entitle him to an up-or-down vote from Congress in 90 days.
It would be up to lawmakers, therefore, to first grant Obama this fast-track authority and then decide whether to approve any of his specific ideas.
The White House said Obama was to address his proposals for government reform this morning.
In an election year and a political atmosphere of tighter spending, Obama’s motiva-tion is about improving a giant bureaucracy — but that’s hardly all of it.
To voters sick of dysfunction, Obama wants to show some
action on making Washington work better. Politically, his plan would allow him to do so by putting the onus on Congress and in particular his Repub-lican critics in the House and Senate, to show why they would be against the pursuit of
a leaner government.Obama also has an impera-
tive to deliver. He made a prom-ise to come up with a smart reorganization of the govern-ment in his last State of the Union speech. That was nearly a year ago.
At the time, Obama grabbed attention by pointing out the absurdity of government inef-ficiency. In what he called his favorite example, Obama said: “The Interior Department is in charge of salmon while they’re in freshwater, but the
Commerce Department han-dles them when they’re in salt-water. And I hear it gets even more complicated once they’re smoked.”
The White House said the problem is serious for consum-ers who turn to their govern-ment for help and often do not know where to begin.
Not in decades has the gov-ernment undergone a sus-tained reorganization of itself. Presidents have tried from time to time, but each part of the bureaucracy has its own defenders inside and outside the government, which can make merger ideas politically impossible. That’s particularly true because “efficiency” is often another way of saying people will lose their jobs.
Obama hopes to enhance his chances by getting Congress to give him the assurance of a clean, relatively speedy vote on any of his proposals.
There is no clear sign that Obama would get that cooper-ation. He spent much of 2011 in gridlock with Republicans who control the House and can halt votes in the Senate.
Should he prevail, Obama’s first project would be to com-bine six major operations of the government that focus on busi-ness and trade.

Former S.D. Gov. Janklowdead at 72 from cancer
PIERRE, S.D. — As gov-ernor of South Dakota for 16 years, Bill Janklow was always in a hurry — push-ing lawmakers to approve his proposals and racing to disaster sites to take charge. His need for speed also likely played a role in his one regret: the 2003 fatal traffic accident that landed him in jail and ended his political career.
As South Dakota’s attorney general, governor and con-gressman, the colorful poli-tician domi-nated the state’s politi-cal landscape for more than a quarter cen-tury, chang-ing the face of the state’s economy, education system and tax structure. Even his enemies — and there were many — admitted the Republican had a talent for getting things done, even as they complained that he ran roughshod over his opponents.
Janklow died shortly before 11 a.m. Thursday of brain cancer after being moved to hospice care in Sioux Falls earlier in the week, his son Russ Janklow said. He was 72.
Officials: Pakistani PMcalled UK, fearing coup
ISLAMABAD — Paki-stan’s prime minister tele-phoned the top British dip-lomat in the country this week expressing fears that the Pakistani army might be about to stage a coup, a Brit-ish official and an official in Islamabad said today.
The call, which one official said was “panicky,” suggests there was — or perhaps still is — a genuine fear at the highest level of the Pakistani government that the army might carry out a coup or support possible moves by the Supreme Court to topple the civilian leadership.
Prime Minister Yousuf Reza Gilani asked High Commis-sioner Adam Thomson for
Britain to support his embat-tled government, according to the officials, who didn’t give their names because of the sensitivity of the issue. It’s unclear if the British gov-ernment took any action.
Such is the weakness of state institutions, Pakistani leaders have often looked to foreign powers, especially the United States and Gulf countries, to intervene in domestic affairs, mediate dis-putes between feuding power centers or “guarantee” agreements between them.
Space station to moveto avoid old satellite
WASHINGTON — The International Space Station is dodging a softball-sized piece of space junk.
Mission Control told astro-nauts to fire the station’s engines briefly this morn-ing to avoid a piece of an old communications satellite.
It will be only the 13th time since 1998 that the station has moved because of debris. Debris travels at such high speed in orbit that it could cause a deadly puncture to the space station.
The last time the station moved was in September. In June, astronauts had to take shelter in the Soyuz escape capsule as debris flew by.
Judge hears bidto delay Edwards trial
GREENSBORO, N.C. — A federal judge in North Caro-lina will consider whether former presidential candi-date John Edwards goes on trial later this month for alleged campaign finance violations.
A hearing in Greensboro was scheduled for today. Lawyers said Edwards has an undisclosed medical con-dition that would make it dif-ficult for him to attend the trial if it begins as scheduled on Jan. 30. Edwards’ team has requested a delay of at least two months.

accessory-after-the-fact to murder, and received a full pardon.
• Three were convicted of manslaughter, with one receiving conditional clem-ency, one receiving a medical suspension and one receiv-ing a conditional indefinite suspension of sentence.
• One was convicted of DUI homicide and received a sus-pended sentence.
Before ending his second term Tuesday, Republican Barbour gave full pardons to about 200 people. He sus-pended sentences for several other inmates, gave medi-cal release to some and gave conditional clemency to one.
Barbour issued a statement Wednesday saying about 90 percent of the people he pardoned or gave clemency were no longer in custody.
Five inmates who had worked as trusties in the Governor’s Mansion were released Sunday. Four of them were convicted of kill-ings, and one was convicted of burglary.
At the request of Attor-ney General Jim Hood, Hinds County Circuit Judge Tomie Green issued an order late Wednesday to keep 21
inmates in custody to deter-mine if requirements were met for release.
The Mississippi Constitu-tion says any inmate seek-ing a pardon must publish a public notice that he is seeking it. Before a pardon can be granted, the notice must appear for 30 days in a newspaper in or near the county where the inmate was convicted.
Green ordered that the 21 inmates remain in custody until the Mississippi Depart-ment of Corrections provides proof that constitutional requirements were met.
These 21 inmates are held by that court order:
• Nichelle Elaine Brandon, aggravated assault. Medi-cal suspension of sentence; under supervision of MDOC intensive supervision pro-gram (house arrest).
• Aaron Brown, murder, concealed weapon, posses-sion of a controlled sub-stance. Full, complete and unconditional pardon.
• Jesse Buie, felony DUI. Medical/conditional suspen-sion of sentence.
• Melissa Ann Cooper, sale of controlled substance. Med-ical/conditional suspension of sentence.
• John Davis, robbery. Med-ical/conditional suspension of sentence.
• Derrick Lynn Guyton (or
Guiton), homicide/murder; simple assault. Medical/con-ditional suspension of sen-tence. MDOC records spell his last name Guyton. A record of his conditional sus-pension of sentence, filed in the secretary of state’s office, spells it Guiton.
• Travis Orlando Hill, pos-session of marijuana with intent to distribute. Medi-cal suspension of sentence; under supervision of MDOC intensive supervision pro-gram (house arrest).
• Joshua L. Howard, statu-tory rape. Full, complete and unconditional pardon.
• Karen Irby, two counts of manslaughter. Conditional clemency that she serves three years in MDOC inten-sive supervision (house arrest) and an additional two years under MDOC commu-nity corrections division.
• Twanda (or Tawanda) Jackson, manslaughter, armed robbery and kidnap-ping. Medical suspension of sentence; under super-vision of MDOC intensive supervision program (house arrest). MDOC records spell her first name Twanda. A record of her suspension of sentence, filed in the secre-tary of state’s office, spells it Tawanda.
• Azikwe Kambule, acces-sory after the fact to murder. Full, complete and uncondi-
tional pardon. • Rheon McShepard, homi-
cide or murder. Medical/conditional suspension of sentence.
• Johnny Lee Nettles, aggravated assault. Medi-cal/conditional suspension of sentence.
• Annie Pearl Rash, utter-ing forgery. Medical/con-ditional suspension of sentence.
• Katherine Robertson, aggravated assault. Full, complete and unconditional pardon.
• Patricia L. Simpson, man-slaughter. Conditional indefi-nite suspension of sentence.
• Danny Joe Stapleton, pos-session of controlled sub-stance with intent. Medical/conditional suspension of sentence.
• Kevin Bradley Tabereaux, sale of cocaine, DUI homi-cide. Suspension of sentence.
• Kirby Glenn Tate, pos-session of marijuana with intent, possession of oxy-codone, delivery of mari-juana. Full, complete and unconditional pardon.
• Curtis Thomas, statutory rape. Medical/conditional suspension of sentence.
• Edith Watts, delivery of a controlled substance. Medi-cal/conditional suspension of sentence.

sissippi Department of Cor-rections for the rest of my life for a crime I didn’t commit. I guess if I had been a mur-derer, he would have par-doned me,” she said.
The sisters claim to be innocent, and their lawyer said others involved in the crime have since recanted testimony that implicated them. One of the alleged vic-tims told The Associated Press last year that the sis-ters planned the 1993 stickup
in which he was lured down a dark road and robbed at gun-point by three teenage boys. Civil rights advocates said the sisters’ sentences were far too harsh.
Their lawyer, Chokwe Lumumba, said during a news conference Thursday that he’ll ask new Republican Gov. Phil Bryant to pardon the women.
Bryant’s spokesman Mick Bullock said in an e-mail that, “Governor Bryant has no intentions to pardon anyone.”
Barbour’s representa-tive did not immediately respond to a message seek-ing comment.
They haven’t had the sur-gery because they weigh too much for doctors to believe it would be safe.

LSU, Alabamastars head to NFL
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — A few of the Southeast-ern Conference’s biggest stars are taking their tal-ents to the NFL.
LSU All-American corner-back Morris Claiborne and defensive tackle Michael Brockers announced Thurs-day that they have decided to leave school early to en-ter the NFL draft.
Claiborne won the Jim Thorpe Award as the na-tion’s top defensive back. Brockers, a redshirt sopho-more, had 54 tackles.
They helped LSU reach the BCS Championship game, where they lost to SEC rival Alabama, 21-0 on Monday night.
The Crimson Tide will also watch some of their stars from that championship game play on Sunday next season. All-Americans Trent Richardson, Dont’a High-tower and Dre Kirkpatrick said Thursday they’re leav-ing school to start pro ca-reers.
Richardson, a running back and Heisman Trophy finalist, and cornerback Kirkpatrick are both pro-jected as potential top 10 picks. Hightower is also re-garded as a potential first-rounder.

Davidsonleads VHSby HornetsBy Jeff [email protected]
A late goal kept alive Vicks-burg High’s flickering playoff hopes Thursday night.
Kyle Davidson booted a shot past the keeper from 25 yards away with less than three minutes to go in regulation, and the Gators escaped with a 2-1 victory over Greenville-Weston on a cold night at Memorial Stadium.
The win kept Vicks-burg’s faint playoffs hopes in Class 6A alive going into Tues-day’s clash with Warren Central.
Vicksburg (3-9-3, 1-3 Divi-sion 3-6A) must first make up a two-goal difference against the Vikings, then beat Green-ville-Weston again next Friday. The Gators also need Clinton to beat Warren Cen-tral twice, tonight at Viking Stadium and again next Friday.
Davidson kept the playoffs a possibility with his second goal of the match Thursday. The Holmes Community Col-lege signee tied it with a goal right before the first-half whistle on a 35-yard shot.
“This was way too close,” Davidson said. “The score shouldn’t have been like that. I think everybody was surprised at how well they (Greenville) played.”
Vicksburg coach Kevin Watson was impressed.
“I don’t think I’ve seen a team play with more heart all year,” Watson said of the Hornets. “They came out so hard. Mentally, they were ready to win this game. It was a struggle for us.”
The Hornets (3-6, 0-4) domi-nated play for the first 20 minutes, outshooting Vicks-burg 5-2. Their fifth try, at the 19:27 mark, proved fruitful. Gators sweeper Chad Wil-liams tried to steer away a shot, but his clearing kick went right to Greenville’s Robert Phinisee. Phini-see launched a 30-yard kick that sailed over the hands of Vicksburg keeper Marc Grace for a 1-0 lead.
Davidson tied it in the last two minutes of the first half, then won it in the last three minutes of the second.
With overtime looming, Vicksburg’s Dennis Clark made a run but was met by two Greenville defenders. The ball got knocked away and Davidson got it at the 25. He smashed a low line drive that found the net for the game-winner.
(G) Vicksburg 7,Greenville-Weston 0
Vicksburg tallied five first-half goals and went on to an easy win over Greenville.
The win moved Vicksburg (7-7, 2-2 Division 3-6A) into position to claim a playoff berth if they can beat Warren Central Tuesday. The Missy Gators won the first match between the two schools on Jan. 5, 2-1 on two goals by Tabitha Hayden.
Hayden was at it again Thursday, scoring two goals. Seventh-grader Mikayla Banks and senior Maya Thomas had two goals apiece. Carley East had the other VHS goal.

Porters Chapel romps past RebulBy Ernest [email protected]
Even without one of its top players, and with two others nursing sore ankles, Por-ters Chapel Academy’s train keeps rolling along.
Ted Brisco scored 11 of his game-high 17 points in the first half, Talbot Buys had 14 of his 16 points in the second, and the Eagles routed Rebul Academy 64-15 Thursday night.
The win kept PCA (13-2, 11-0) undefeated in District 5-A, even as it works through a late-season injury bug. Alton Burden missed Thurs-day’s game with a sprained ankle, and Brisco and point guard Peter Harris also rolled their ankles in games last week.
Despite that, the Eagles crept out to a 14-2 lead over Rebul by the end of the first quarter, led by 21 points at halftime and outscored the Raiders 24-5 in the third quarter before cruising in the fourth.
Collin Smith led Rebul with five points. Kawayne Gaston had 13 points for PCA — nine coming on three 3-pointers — and P.J. Lassiter had 11.
“(Burden) creates a lot of speed for us. We started off pretty solid. Nothing was terrible. We just didn’t have that ‘wow’ factor,” PCA coach E.J. Creel said. “I’m pretty hard on them, though. I saw a whole lot we can work on before we get to South State.”
(G) Rebul 49, PCA 16Mikayla Boyd scored all of
her game-high 14 points and also grabbed nine rebounds in the first half, helping Rebul Academy (15-5, 9-1 Dis-trict 5-A) pull away from Por-ters Chapel early.
The Lady Raiders led by 12 points late in the first quar-ter before a quick sequence of three steals and three layups gave them a 20-2 lead. They extended it to 34-5 by halftime, then Rebul coach Shane Edwards subbed out most of his starters.
The second half was more competitive, with Rebul out-scoring PCA just 15-11.

STARKVILLE — Dee Bost has been stuck in a slump the past few weeks and Thursday night’s game against Tennessee — filled with missed shots and turn-overs — was quickly becom-ing another one to forget.
Until the last play.A tense final possession
turned into a raucous cel-ebration as Bost came up with a crucial steal and dunk in the final seconds and No. 20 Mississippi State survived a late scare to beat Tennessee 62-58 at Hum-phrey Coliseum.
“He’s been struggling some offensively, but you never fault his effort,” Bull-dogs coach Rick Stansbury said. “And his effort came up big for us at the end.”
Mississippi State (14-3, 1-1 Southeastern Conference)
avoided its first 0-2 start in league play since 2003. The Bulldogs led by 12 early in the second half, but Ten-nessee cut it to 60-58 on Renaldo Woolridge’s 3-pointer with 44.2 seconds remaining.
Tennessee got the ball back on a steal by Skylar McBee and had a chance to tie or win with less than 10 seconds remaining, but Bost slapped the ball away from Trae Golden and drove for the game-sealing dunk.
“I was trying to put as much pressure on him as I could,” Bost said. “I knew they were going to try and go to him and get him the shot.”
Bost, Renardo Sidney and
Arnett Moultrie all scored 13 points for the Bulldogs.
Bost didn’t have a very good game until the final play, shooting 3-of-11 from the field and turning the ball over six times. But all that was forgotten as he dashed down the court, flushed the ball through the hoop with his right hand and listened to the crowd of 8,148 at Hum-phrey Coliseum roar its approval.
Tennessee (8-8, 1-1) was led by Golden, who had 20 points. Jeronne Maymon scored 13 and Kenny Hall added 12 off the bench.
“They’re big and athletic,” Hall said. “We were aggres-sive taking the ball to the basket, but that’s basketball, sometimes it happens like that.”
The Bulldogs’ defense was embarrassed in a 98-88 loss to Arkansas in Satur-day’s conference opener,
but they were much more stingy against the Volun-teers. Wendell Lewis had five blocked shots and Moul-trie added four as Tennes-see had to work hard for almost all its points close to the basket.
Mississippi State took a 36-27 lead at halftime, shoot-ing 52 percent from the field. The Bulldogs kept their offense moving despite early foul trouble for Bost — the team’s starting point guard who owns the school record for assists. But backup DeV-ille Smith did a decent imita-tion, with five assists in 15 first-half minutes.
MSU extended its lead to 12 early in the second half on a 3-pointer by Jalen Steele, but Tennessee fought back thanks to three 3-point-ers by Golden and stifling defense that limited Mis-sissippi State to 36 percent shooting in the second half.

college footballNCAA presidentsupports playoff
INDIANAPOLIS — NCAA Presi-dent Mark Emmert would support a four-team playoff in college football — as long as the field doesn’t grow.
After giving his annual state of the association speech Thursday in Indianapolis, Emmert acknowl-edged he would back a small playoff if that’s what Bowl Championship Series officials decide to adopt.
“The notion of having a Final Four approach is probably a sound one,” Emmert said when asked what he heard coming out of New Orleans this week. “Moving toward a 16-team playoff is highly problem-atic because I think that’s too much to ask a young man’s body to do. It’s too many games, it intrudes into the school year and, of course, it would probably necessitate a com-plete end to the bowl system that so many people like now.”
Emmert spoke two days after the 11 Bowl Championship Series con-ferences met to discuss possible changes to the system starting in 2014, but there is no consensus yet.
BCS Executive Director Bill Han-cock said Tuesday that 50-60 pos-sibilities for various changes were presented during a deliberate meet-ing in New Orleans. Hancock antici-pates it will take another five to seven meetings to reach a conclu-sion in July.
nbaHoward breaks recordas Magic beats Warriors
OAKLAND, Calif. — Dwight Howard broke Wilt Chamberlain’s nearly 50-year-old NBA record for most free throw attempts in a game, making 21 of 39 in the Orlando Mag-ic’s 117-109 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Thursday night.
The Warriors hacked Howard intentionally throughout, send-ing the notoriously poor shooter to the line in record-setting fashion. Chamberlain shot 34 for the Phila-delphia Warriors against St. Louis on Feb. 22, 1962.
Howard finished with 45 points and 23 rebounds to propel the Magic to their third straight victory.
Former Lanier star Monta Ellis had 30 points and 11 assists for the short-handed Warriors, who played without starters Stephen Curry and Dorell Wright.

Maroon 5 to headlineGulfport Music Festival
GULFPORT (AP) — Pop rock band Maroon 5, whose latest release “Moves Like Jagger” featuring Christina Aguilera was at No. 12 on the Billboard Hot 100, will headline this year’s Gulfport Music Festival.
Organizers said that the second annual festival will take place at Jones Park May 18, 19, and 20. The event will feature more than 50 acts on three stages over three days.
Organizers plan to release a list of other performers later.
Tickets go on sale today, with three-day passes selling for $75.
Festival organizers also are looking for area musicians who would like to be featured in the festival’s Beer Garden. Per-formers should send an MP3 to [email protected] along with contact information.
69th Golden GloBes
Show gets ball rolling toward OscarsLOS ANGELES (AP) — Hol-
lywood’s first big show on the road to the Academy Awards will help determine if silence is golden this season.
The black-and-white silent film “The Artist” leads con-tenders for Sunday’s Golden Globes with six nominations, among them best musical or comedy, directing and writing honors for Michel Havanav-icius and acting slots for Jean Dujardin and Berenice Bejo.
Though still playing in narrow release, the film has found enthusiastic audiences and has been a critical darling since premiering at last May’s Cannes Film Festival, position-ing it as the first silent movie with serious awards prospects since the first years of the Oscars in the late 1920s.
In an age of elaborate com-puter effects and digital 3-D projection, “The Artist” is such a throwback to early cinema that it comes off as something entirely fresh.
Tied for second-place at the Globes with five nominations each are George Clooney’s family tale “The Descendants” and the literary adaptation “The Help,” both competing for best drama.
Also in the running for best drama: Martin Scorsese’s family adventure “Hugo”; Cloo-ney’s political thriller “The Ides of March”; Brad Pitt’s sports tale “Moneyball”; and Steven Spielberg’s World War I epic “War Horse.”
For best musical or comedy, “The Artist” is up against: Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s cancer story “50/50”; Kristen Wiig’s wedding romp “Bridesmaids”; Woody Allen’s romantic fan-tasy “Midnight in Paris”; and Michelle Williams’ Marilyn Monroe tale “My Week with Marilyn.”
Along with honors from trade groups such as the direc-tors, actors and writers guilds,
the Globes help sort out key contenders for the Oscars, whose nominations balloting closes today, with nominees announced Jan. 24.
A win Sunday can firm up a film’s prospects to triumph at the Oscars, though the Globes have had a bad track record predicting eventual best-pic-ture winners in recent years.
Over the last seven years, only one Globe best-picture winner — 2008’s “Slumdog Millionaire” — has gone on to claim the top honor at the Oscars. Before that stretch, the Globes had been on an eight-year streak in which one of its two best-picture recipients went on to become the Oscar champ.
Last year, “The Social Net-work” won best-drama at the Globes and looked like the early
Oscar favorite. But momen-tum later swung to eventual Oscar best-picture winner “The King’s Speech.”
The Globes generally do a better job predicting who might take home the acting Oscars. A year ago, all four actors who won Oscars earned Globes first — lead players Colin Firth for “The King’s Speech” and Nat-alie Portman for “Black Swan” and “The Fighter” support-ing stars Christian Bale and Melissa Leo.
Along with Clooney, Pitt and Williams, other established stars nominated for Globes include Meryl Streep in the Margaret Thatcher tale “The Iron Lady,” Leonardo DiCaprio in the J. Edgar Hoover saga “J. Edgar,” Glenn Close in the Irish drama “Albert Nobbs” and Kate Winslet in the stage adaptation “Carnage.”
The lineup also features many newcomers to the awards scene, among them Wiig for “Bridesmaids,” Gor-don-Levitt for “50/50,” Michael Fassbender for the sex-addict
drama “Shame,” Rooney Mara for the thriller “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” and Bren-dan Gleeson for the Irish crime tale “The Guard.”
“The Help” picked up three acting nominations: Viola Davis for dramatic actress and Octavia Spencer and Jes-sica Chastain for supporting actress. Adapted from Kath-ryn Stockett’s best-seller about black maids speaking out about their white employers during the civil-rights movement, the hit drama has been a career-maker for many of its collab-orators, including first-time director Tate Taylor, a child-hood friend of Stockett, and producer Brunson Green.
The Globes are presented by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, a group of about 85 entertainment reporters for overseas outlets.
Ricky Gervais returns as host for the third-straight year, despite uneasy moments a year ago when he took sharp swipes at celebrities and Golden Globe organizers themselves.

Lil Wayne writing prison memoirLil Wayne is offering a literary tour of his prison
days.The million-selling rapper has signed with
Grand Central Publishing, a division of Hachet-te Book Group, for the memoir “Gone Till No-vember.” Hachette announced Thursday that the book will tell of his eight months spent at the Rikers Island complex on a gun possession charge. Scheduled to come out in November, two years after his release, the book will be an “internal monologue,” based on diaries he kept while in prison.
Original MTV veejays ink book dealMTV’s surviving original veejays have some wild times to
share.Atria Books, an imprint of Simon & Schuster, announced
Thursday that it had signed with Nina Blackwood, Mark Good-man, Alan Hunter and Martha Quinn for an “uncensored” oral history of the music channel launched in 1981. The book is cur-rently untitled and no release date had been set. A fifth veejay, J.J. Jackson, died in 2004.
According to Atria, the veejays will talk about everything from partying with Van Halen to a disastrous “Paint the Mutha Pink” contest with “Pink Houses” singer John Cougar Mellencamp. The veejays also participated in an MTV oral history published last fall, but Atria spokesman Paul Olsewski said Thursday that they have saved their “best stories” for their own book.
First lady gets warm welcome to TwitterMichelle Obama went live on Twitter Thursday, and scooped
up more than 88,000 followers within a few hours.
In her first tweet, the first lady writes: “Hi, ev-eryone, and thanks for the warm welcome. Look forward to staying in touch with you here. -mo.”’
Her twitter feed will be managed by the presi-dent’s re-election campaign, with any tweets from the first lady herself to be signed “-mo.”The first two tweets came from the campaign
staff, and described the account as “a new way for you to connect with First Lady Michelle Obama and the Pres-ident’s campaign.”
The third came from the first lady herself.President Barack Obama also has a Twitter account managed
by the campaign. Its first tweet of the day: “It’s not every day we get to welcome the First Lady of the United States to Twitter — happy to have you, (at)MichelleObama!”
Court charges Ferguson for filmingA court has pressed charges against Britain’s Duchess of York
for secretly filming orphanages in Turkey.The Turkish court on Thursday accused Sarah
Ferguson in absentia of going “against the law in acquiring footage and violating privacy” of five children. She faces a maximum term of 22 1/2 years in prison if convicted. No trial date has been set.
Ferguson, the former wife of Britain’s Prince Andrew, made an undercover trip to Turkey in
2008 to examine orphanages for a British televi-sion program. Secretly filmed images that were
broadcast appeared to show children tied to their beds or left in cribs at an orphanage near the capital of Ankara.

Carjacker arrested when he stops for gasA man in Oregon certainly didn’t check the fuel gauge on the
car he’s accused of taking from a grocery store parking lot.Officers in Coos Bay quickly arrested the man when he
stopped a few miles away to buy gas.Authorities said the man threw a woman out of the car Tues-
day and sped off. The man pulled into a gas station and asked to pay cash, but the attendant was suspicious because the driv-er was agitated. The attendant said the man was obviously re-lieved when police drove past the station.
But officers drove around the back and cornered the suspect. Police said he tried to drive away but crashed the Honda Civic into a light post.

‘Legacy’ should pass up paddling sororityDear Abby: I have been
accepted to a school that’s the alma mater of several of my relatives. My mother, several aunts and other family mem-bers all belonged to one soror-ity at this college. They are urging me to pledge there and uphold the family tradition.
They say they had some of the best times of their lives as members of that sorority chapter. The members do well academically, as the soror-ity insists on it. They made lifelong friends, and their sorority contacts have been extremely helpful personally and professionally.
Although this chapter is very exclusive and accepts only the best-of-the-best, I will have no problems getting in, not only because of my academic record but also because I’m a “legacy.”
So what’s the problem? This sorority chapter still uses the paddle. Technically they don’t haze — that is, have any ini-tiation stunts — but they do use the paddle for disciplin-ary purposes. When I men-tion my concerns about the
paddling to my mother and aunts, they say I should suck it up, as the advantages far out-weigh the disadvantages. One of my aunts said she thinks the rules and discipline would be beneficial for me because she considers me kind of a “wild child.”
Abby, I don’t know if you know anything about soror-ities, but I’m asking for an objective opinion from some-one not directly involved. — Possibly Paddled Pledge
Dear P.P.P.: I joined a soror-ity in college, and I never heard of a sorority hitting pledges or active members. Some frater-nities may have allowed it, but certainly not sororities.
Whether your aunt thinks you could use the discipline is beside the point. Strik-ing someone with a paddle
is assault with a weapon. A young man died a short time ago in Florida because of the kind of hazing this national organization is winking at. Are young women who behave that way really the kind of people you would like to be lifelong friends? If not, then pass on that sorority!
Dear Abby: My son is chron-ologically 12 and the size of an adult, but emotionally he is age 5. He’s a moderately func-tioning child with autism, ADHD and behavioral issues.
Please let people know that just because they can’t see a disability does not mean there isn’t one. I often get dirty looks and rude comments, and I am extremely frustrated with it. Being nice or ignoring it does no good.
I know my son’s behavior can be childish, rude or inap-propriate at times. I have been fighting this battle every day since he was 2. I have seen every doctor and therapist available and exhausted every resource I could find, and now we have either aged out or my son isn’t “bad enough” to be
eligible.However, he is still difficult to
handle, and I still need to buy groceries and run errands. Sometimes that parent you are giving the dirty looks to is near the end of her rope and could use a little compas-sion or at least silence from the peanut gallery. What you see isn’t always what you get. — Struggling Mom in Long Beach, Miss.
Dear Struggling Mom: Please accept my sympathy. As you and other parents of children with disabilities deal with the realities of daily living, the last thing you (or they) need is criticism from strangers. If someone makes a comment or gives you a look, you should say, “My son can’t help himself; he’s autistic.” It’s the truth.

Calcium needed to build strong bones for lifetime
Dear Doctor K: I have two daughters, ages 8 and 12. They both claim they’re “too old” to drink milk. How can I make sure they get enough calcium?
Dear Reader: You’re right to be concerned. Unfortu-nately, many children don’t get enough calcium, and they need it to build strong bones and teeth.
As your kids grow, they are also growing the bones they will have for the rest of their lives. How strong those bones are by the time they become adults will strongly affect their risk for develop-ing thin bones (osteoporosis) later in life, which can lead to fractures. Most of the bone growth occurs in the teenage years, but getting enough cal-cium is important for younger kids, too.
Getting enough calcium is not the only important thing in developing strong bones. So is regular exercise.
Exercise that puts weight on the bones, like walking, run-ning and hiking, is especially important.
How much calcium should your daughters be getting? For your 8-year-old, aim for 1,000 milligrams (mg) of cal-cium per day. Your 12-year-old should be getting more, about 1,300 mg of calcium per day.
The best sources of cal-cium are calcium-rich foods, such as dairy products. Even if your daughters refuse to budge on drinking milk, there are plenty of other options.
Cheese and yogurt are good sources of calcium. If they like yogurt, go for the lowfat or nonfat kind. Although they have less fat, they have as much calcium. There’s also plenty of calcium in many nondairy foods such as sar-dines and almonds.
Tofu, beans and oranges are good sources of calcium. So are leafy green vegetables such as kale, collard greens, spinach and broccoli.
But it takes several cups a day of these vegetables to supply as much calcium as dairy foods. For some kids, that’s a stretch.
You’ll also find plenty of “calcium fortified” foods in the grocery store. These may include some brands of juice, cereal and bread.
To get enough calcium, your kids also should avoid cer-tain foods and beverages that interfere with calcium absorp-tion. Caffeine (found in coffee, tea and sodas), phospho-rous (in meat and sodas/soft drinks) and sodium (salt) are unhealthy for bones. Teach your daughters to limit these foods.
Teach also by example. If your daughters see you drink-ing lowfat milk, how can they say that they’re “too old” to drink it?
With careful planning, most children can easily get enough calcium in their daily diets.
Think of new ways to incor-porate calcium-rich foods into family meals. Make a stir-fry using tofu that’s been processed with calcium, or sprinkle some lowfat shred-ded cheese on salads.

TOMORROW’S HOROSCOPEBY BERNICE BEDE OSOL • NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSOCIATION
TWEEN 12 & 20BY DR. ROBERT WALLACE • NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSOCIATION
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — If you keep in mind that it’s the bottom line that counts and not all those little spurs that can puncture you at times, it’ll get you focusing on forces that can bring you success.Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — One of your peers might try to have you believe otherwise, but those in authority do in fact hold you in high regard. Don’t listen to anyone who doesn’t want to know the truth.Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — If you are not demanding or criti-cal of others, you will outpoll everyone in the proverbial popu-larity contest. Assume a friendly, enthusiastic attitude with all. Aries (March 21-April 19) — Action you precipitate could pro-mote something beneficial for you and all those with whom you’re involved. By putting the needs of others first, you’ll come out ahead as well.Taurus (April 20-May 20) — It’s up to you to think positively and to establish desirable objectives for yourself. You have plen-ty of reasons to view life optimistically at this time.Gemini (May 21-June 20) —If you devote your attention and efforts on ways to make money, you could do very well for your-self. Get an early start, lay out a solid game plan and stick to it.Cancer (June 21-July 22) — There is only one thing that you should keep uppermost in your mind, and that is to know that you can successfully manage anything you put your mind to.Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — This is one of those days where it might appear to be darker than usual before the metaphorical dawn breaks. Don’t lose faith; things will work out well. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Something quite personal that isn’t of a material nature has an excellent chance of working out to your satisfaction. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — People with whom you’ll be in-volved are likely to provide a mix of both good and bad epi-sodes, which overall will work out quite favorably for you in both personal and career-related areas.Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Lady Luck is likely to start cozying up to you at this point in time, and that’s why you may now be-gin to find far fewer obstacles blocking your path. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — It’s best not to discuss a dis-turbing matter that another person is grappling with. You could cause additional problems for the party in question.
Dr. Wallace: I hate athletics. First of all, I’m not the athletic type. There are those who know me and consider me to be a nerd. But I’m a very intelligent nerd. I’m in the 11th grade and so far I’m a straight-A student, and my plan is to graduate with a straight-A average and then graduate from an elite Ivy League school such as Harvard or Yale. It really bugs me that at my high school the athletes get all the glory and the nerds are laughed at. When I’m making a million dollars a year, most of the school jocks will be working for minimum wage or, if they’re lucky, working at an auto repair shop. That goes for the snobby cheer-leaders, too. They will marry the jocks and live in a rental house taking care of four plump kids.
As for me, my wife and I will be living in a penthouse, driv-ing Mercedes Benz cars and dining at expensive restaurants. It could be that one of our school athletes might even be our waiter. He would be lucky. I would be a good tipper. Down with athletes, and three cheers for us nerds! Someday we will be run-ning the country! — Nerd, Nashua, N.H.
Nerd: I’m impressed with your goals to graduate from high school with straight A’s (valedictorian, no doubt), receive your degree from Harvard or Yale and then become a millionaire. These are lofty goals, and I wish you well on your journey to-ward them. But I’m sorry you are so fueled by revenge and seem to be as concerned about other people’s failures as your own successes. This means you’ll never be happy simply with your own accomplishments.
I’m equally sorry that you harbor such negative feelings about sports. This is your loss. While academics should never be com-promised for athletics, the two can coexist in harmony. Re-member, both Harvard and Yale are members of the National Collegiate Athletic Association. Both of these academically pro-digious schools field men’s teams in football, basketball, base-ball, track and field, and host many other sports. The women’s programs provide a full schedule of sports, including basketball, softball, field hockey, tennis and swimming.
Providing students with an excellent academic program is a school’s prime function, but extracurricular programs, including athletics, music and drama, provide an outlet for the pressures of the classroom and keep student lives in balance.
Even if you don’t participate, watching athletic events can be an enjoyable recreation. Try it!
