Harrell steps down after 22 years BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com
It was supposed to be only a two- or three-year job. Almost 22 years later, Shiloh National Military Park Superintendent Woody Harrell is finally getting ready to hang up his ranger’s hat. When he was hired to oversee Shiloh in 1990, his supervisor told him to spend a few years getting his feet wet at the southwest Tennessee park, and then he would move on to management of larger sites. “I never expected to stay this long,” said Harrell, “but the community both here and in Savannah have been extremely good to work with, and there were a lot of opportunities to do things like the interpretive center that not many superintendents get a chance to do. That’s always been my biggest interest is interpretive facilities and those sorts of things.” The park service is expected to name Harrell’s successor at Shiloh and the Corinth Unit in the next couple of weeks. For
many in the community, it is with reluctance that they will see him relinquish the park management in April upon conclusion of the sesquicentennial commemorations. “I don’t really remember Shiloh without Woody Harrell,” said Kent Collier, president of Friends of Shiloh and chairman of the Tennessee River Museum board. He learned of Harrell’s retirement plans a year ago. “About two weeks ago it hit me that it was really happening,” said Collier. “It really makes me sad. It’s the end of an era. The only thing that keeps me from sobbing is the fact that they’re going to stay here in Corinth and are still going to be a valuable part of what goes on here and in Tennessee.” Harrell is the longest-serving superintendent in the park’s history. Sen. Thad Cochran read a commendation of Harrell for his service as superintendent and as “a true scholar of the

Corinth High School grad helped change history BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com
Corinthians have made great accomplishments in the arts, sports, aviation and … nuclear physics.
That last one may not be common knowledge, but Corinth veterinarian Doug Locke hopes that it will be. The renowned scientist is the late David Lawrence Hill, a
Booneville native and Corinth High School graduate who was a pioneer in the work to achieve nuclear fission. Locke stumbled upon Hill’s ties to Corinth while reading
about Oak Ridge and The Manhattan Project. He was surprised he had not heard of the renowned physicist and found that others he talked to also did not know about Hill, who was
present for the first occurrence of nuclear fission. The book identified everyone who was in the room and stated that Hill Please see HILL | 3A
Group giving back through fundraiser BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

The fundraising efforts to send a group of special needs children to Disney World is nearing an end. The group will be at Subway on Highway 72 West Monday night from 5-8 p.m. Subway employees Tiffany Crum (from left) and Katie Hodges give Jaquarious Pegues and Jamarious Drish an idea on what takes place at the business on a daily basis. The group will receive all tips during the three-hour period.
A group of special needs children has decided to give back. Overwhelmed by the community support to send the party to Disney World in May, organizers have turned their attention to helping with another cause. “The community has been really nice to us and now we want to return the favor,” said trip organizer Havis Hurley. The group’s next to last trip fundraiser at area businesses is set for Monday night at Subway on Highway 72 west. Hurley’s group will receive all tips from 5-8 p.m. at the business. Their cause then turns to the Hope Dream Center Mission of Corinth. The Dream Center — a shelter for the homeless and troubled women along with their children in the old Tate Baptist Church building — must come up with around $21,000 to meet the city
building code requiring a sprinkler system for the 36,000 squarefoot facility at 1223 Tate Street. Hurley says fundraisers are set for May 7 at Sweet Peppers Deli and May 17 at Pizza Inn to raise money to help the Dream Center reach its goal. Close to $30,000 has been raised by organizers for the Disney trip set for May 26 through June 1. Organizers continue to raise funds to purchase food vouchers for the children and their parents. “We are hoping to show the kids a really good time at Disney World,” said Hurley. An account — Disney World Fundraiser — has been set up at Trustmark Bank for those that would like to donate. Donations can also be sent to: Havis Hurley, 1306 Orchard Lane, Corinth, Ms. 38834.

Mod Squad gets hands on training BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com
This Mod Squad isn’t about fighting crime. Their attention is focused on fashion. The 4-H Mod Squad is a group of 20 youngsters between the ages of 5-18 who are getting the chance to improve selfesteem through hands-on activities. “The program is more than fashion shows and modeling,” said 4-H agent with the Alcorn County Extension Service Tammy Parker. “They get the chance to learn skills related to etiquette, physi-

Harley Marvin Hight Wife of 78 years : Willie Pearl Gann Hight who passed away Nov. 5, 2011 A celebration party was given by his children on Saturday at Church of the Crossroads in Corinth where he has always attended. He also has served as SecretaryTreasurer, Trustee & Board Member for many years. Many would know him as a carpenter/painter & salesman for the Corinth area. He was asked how he wanted to be remembered during his life & he answered: I want to be known as a “honest person of integrity”. He encouraged his children to play music & sing & they have all accomplished that & have handed down to their children & grandchildren. His children are: Marvin Hight of Corinth, Shirley (Hight) Craine of Fort Smith, AR, Wayne Hight of Corinth, Jerry Hight of Michie, TN, Suzette (Hight) Pruitt of Corinth.

tion to establish a buffer around Shiloh Hill. Working on development of the Corinth Civil War Interpretive Center was a welcome challenge. “I think I’ve enjoyed working on the courtyard and the water feature more than anything,” he said. “That was one of the more difficult parts in planning the building.” He wanted something deeper than some of the initial ideas, and the answer would come to him on Sept. 11, 2001. “We were just starting the superintendent’s conference down in Miami,” Harrell recalled. “Twenty minutes later, everybody needed to get back home, and of course the planes were grounded for three or four days.” The superintendents piled into a large passenger van “and began
a whistle-stop tour of national parks all the way from Miami to Kentucky,” said Harrell. “I took a fistful of No. 2 pencils and a big legal pad and sat in the very back seat, and I’d scribble and write and tear it up and throw it on the floor and start over again. I’m not sure where it came from, but by the time I got dropped off about 15 hours later, I had just about this whole concept of this 100 years of American history with stone and flowing water.” He’s also very pleased with the new documentary film, “Shiloh: Fiery Trial,” which will be shown at the park visitor center, replacing the 56-year-old “Shiloh: Portrait of a Battle.” “Everything that could possibly go right with that production has, and
we’re real tickled with it,” said Harrell. He will get to premiere the 49-minute film in his final days on the job. While he and wife Cynthia look forward to retirement years in Corinth, they will continue to be frequent travelers. Harrell has been to 397 national parks and will hit the road to Georgia the day after retiring to begin an Appalachian Trail hike, allowing six months to reach Maine. It promises to be a positive experience, maybe even life-changing … he hopes. “Cynthia and I have been talking about hiking the Appalachian Trail for as long as we’ve known each other,” he said. “I joke to people that that’s one reason I have worked so long after being eligible for retirement.”

ACE Expo offers energy advice An energetic crowd of BY BRANT SAPPINGTON bsappington@dailycorinthian.com
homeowners focused on conserving electricity and reducing their energy costs converged on the fourth annual ACE Power Energy Expo Saturday. The annual event brought residents together with ACE experts and area contractors to learn about options for saving energy and money on energy costs as the area moves into the summer months which typically bring higher electrical consumption due to air conditioning usage. ACE’s Sean McGrath said the goal of the event is to help raise customer awareness of the high value ACE customers receive in comparison to power rates across the country
and how customers’ actions can help them save money and conserve electricity. He said they want to emphasize customer responsibility and the simple steps they can take to improve their homes and reduce their consumption. The event featured testimonials from customers who have participated in ACE’s free energy audit program which offers a free review by power company employees of a customer’s home and overall energy usage to help them see ways they can make improvements and reduce their consumption. The audit service is free and available by calling ACE’s main office. The event also brought together TVA-certified
contractors from throughout the area who displayed a wide variety of products and services that can help lower electrical usage by making a home more energy efficient. “What we really want to do is educate our customers,” said McGrath. One of those contractors was Matthew Cain with Booneville Heating and Cooling who said he came to the expo to share information about how much more efficient heating and cooling systems have become. He said he’d met with some great people and had a lot of interest from visitors in what they can do to make their systems more efficient. McGrath said they hope the expo will help customers better understand
their role in the energy process and how they can work together with ACE to conserve energy and save money. McGrath offered a few key tips for energy conservation. He said one of the most cost effective projects people can do is add additional insulation. There are rebate programs available from TVA that can help offset some of the costs and the energy savings will be immediate and obvious. He said it’s also vital this time of year to make sure heating and air conditioning systems are operating at peak efficiency. To learn more about the energy audit program and other ways to improve energy efficiency, call ACE at 287-4402.

HILL: Worked with Enrico Fermi to build the first nuclear chain reactor at Argonne National Laboratory CONTINUED FROM 1A
was from Corinth, Mississippi. “That’s like somebody from Corinth being on the Mayflower,” said Locke. “That is a seminal event in world history. It floored me that somebody from Corinth was there, and my interest was piqued.” Hill worked with Enrico Fermi to build the first nuclear chain reactor at Argonne National Laboratory. In 1950, he was a guest scholar at the Institute for Theoretical Physics in Copenhagen, Denmark, at the invitation of Professor Niels Bohr.
Hill died of natural causes in December 2008. Locke sought the help of researcher Stephanie Sandy to dig up a few more details of Hill’s life in Corinth. He graduated from CHS in 1937, a period when yearbooks were not printed because of the Great Depression. The family lived in a boarding house on Cruise Street, and his mother, Mabel, taught at Corinth High School. She died in 1991. Hill’s father died at an early age, and his grandparents are buried at Olive Hill Cemetery in Biggersville.

Hill was one of the 70 signers of the famous Leo Szilard petition given to the president of the United States in July 1945 regarding the decision of whether to use an atomic bomb against Japan. The signers were scientists working in the field of atomic power. Hill identified himself on the petition as “Associate Physicist, Argonne.” The petition discussed the new, unparalleled
means of destruction and the moral responsibilities involved. It followed the defeat of Germany, an event that averted the threat of the U.S. being attacked by atomic bombs. The scientists felt that the United States’ lead in developing atomic bombs “brings with it the obligation of restraint and if we were to violate this obligation our moral posisit tion would be weakened Vi

Still no resolution for offshore drilling In addition to a lengthy list of pardons, former Gov. Haley Barbour left another highly controversial matter for Mississippians to contend with as he went out the door — offshore drilling. The Mississippi Development Authority in the final days of the Barbour administration offered up rules for leasing state waters for oil and gas exploration. The highly controversial offshore drilling issue had been on hold for years after Hurricane Katrina and after Gulf Coast opposition. The massive BP oil spill that severely impacted the Gulf Coast economy seemingly would have kept the idea on hold. Not so. MDA in December rolled out regulations for leasing. The rules are set to take effect this month. Opponents of offshore drilling, including the Sierra Club and the Gulf Restoration Network, went to court recently to seek to stop the rules from going into effect. The lawsuit, filed in Hinds County Chancery Court, seeks to block the rules. The groups contend MDA is rushing into the process and such a dramatic step requires much more deliberation and public comment. Regardless of what one thinks of offshore drilling and production, the groups have a solid point. The Legislature has authorized offshore drilling in specific areas. MDA contends it will not harm tourism or the environment and potentially can bring millions in lease fees. Opponents fear rigs will be in sight of Mississippi’s pristine barrier islands, will be harmful tourism and be a danger to the environment. Gov. Phil Bryant inherited the action by Barbour’s MDA, but has expressed strong support for oil and gas development off of the Mississippi Coast. He sought to assure Gulf Coast residents and officials that the steps to drill would not be harmful and that the state would not want to take any steps to hurt tourism. If that is the case, it would be best to slow down this process and continue to develop impact information and, most important, hear from Gulf Coast residents and businesses about whether they want this. ... There is too much at stake when oil and gas production can impact tourism, as the coast knows all too well. The Clarion-Ledger, Jackson

Contract intensifies ‘Sunshine’ effort STARKVILLE — In a political environment that was already hostile for Democratic Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood, the veteran AG apparently decided to as the old Holmes Brothers blues song intones – “run through Hell in gasoline drawers.” To that end, Hood has hired his for- Sid Salter mer boss and Columnist a former state Supreme Court justice to handle Mississippi’s claims against British Petroleum (BP) related to the 2010 explosion and fire on Transocean’s Deepwater Horizon drilling rig in the Gulf of Mexico that was leased to BP. Former Mississippi Attorney General Mike Moore and former state Supreme Court Justice Rueben Anderson got the contract. The 2010 offshore explosion and fire killed 11 (with Mississippians among the dead), injured others and results in an estimated 210 million barrels of oil being spilled into the Gulf of Mexico – making the event the largest offshore oil spill
in U.S. history. Mississippi and other Gulf states suffered significant economic and environmental damages. There seems little debate over whether the state should seek to recover those damages from BP. To that end, Hood wasn’t shy about revealing his reasoning for bringing Anderson and Moore on as outside counsels in the litigation. In a statement to the Associated Press, Hood said: “I chose Justice Anderson, who has a reputation which is beyond reproach, for his gentlemanly negotiation skills and General Moore because of his experience in negotiating the largest settlement on behalf of the state in the nation’s history.” Hood’s statement sounds reasonably at face value. Anderson’s reputation is indeed exemplary and Moore was eventually named the lead negotiator of the Master Settlement Agreement in the 1998 lawsuit against the nation’s four largest tobacco companies by 46 states. Moore indeed negotiated the largest settlement on behalf of the state in history. But to do so, Moore
hired former uber-lawyer Richard “Dickie” Scruggs – who had been one of Moore’s largest political donors - and other private attorneys as outside counsels to represent the state in the tobacco lawsuit, which eventually saw Big Tobacco settle for $246 billion. Mississippi got some $4.1 billion of that sum. Scruggs earned hundreds of millions from the Mississippi litigation, part of an estimated $1.6 billion in total legal fees from the national tobacco litigation. Scruggs was later convicted of judicial bribery and is serving a five-year federal prison sentence. The influence of Scruggs and other millionaire trial lawyers who battled business and medical interests over tort reform in the political arena and what nonlawyers perceive as the outsized legal fees awarded in outside counsel cases which just happen to end up in the laps of political supporters has led Republican lawmakers now controlling both houses of the Mississippi Legislature to seek “sunshine” reforms of the outside counsel process. Hood has resisted the leg-
islation, saying lawmakers are attempting to usurp his constitutional authority. But in hiring Moore and Anderson as outside counsel for the BP litigation, Hood ignited even more criticism by structuring the “retention agreement” with them no fixed legal fees or percentages of the settlement. The contract calls for their “reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses” to be paid by “one or more of the parties legally responsible for the incident” or for them to be compensated for any “reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses” at the conclusion of the litigation. Such vagaries in a retention agreement for outside counsel attorneys in litigation that potentially involves hundreds of millions of dollars doesn’t exactly make Hood’s case that some oversight of the outside counsel process isn’t warranted. Look for the Legislature to expedite those outside counsel “sunshine” bills. (Sid Salter is a syndicated columnist for the Daily Corinthian. Contact him at 601-507-8004 or sidsalter@sidsalter.com.)
For government: No limits on power Are there no limits on government's power, no place where it cannot go? New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, a former (thankfully) Republican, but in name only, has decided to limit food donations to city charities, including homeless shelters, because the government is unable to Cal measure the Thomas nutritional value of the Columnist food. Who in city government believes that a homeless person with no access to money other than what he or she might panhandle cares about the nutritional content of food? If they are able to scrounge up a few bucks on the streets, does anyone seriously think they're headed to a grocery store to buy carrots and arugula? Any food, including “unhealthy” fast food would be their preferred choice.

Department of Homeless Services, claims Mayor Bloomberg is simply being “consistent” with his goal of improving nutrition for all New Yorkers. “A new interagency document,” writes Stier, “controls what can be served at facilities -- dictating serving sizes as well as salt, fat and calorie contents, plus fiber minimums and condiment recommendations.” Will the government permit ketchup on fries? Maybe it will allow ketchup, which liberals mocked Ronald Reagan for correctly calling a vegetable, but not fries, unless they are unsalted, and then just a few. No super sizing it. Who will police this? If a homeless man wants salt on his food, will a city official wrestle the shaker from his hands? Will he be arrested by the salt police if he rebels? Will a woman who has not eaten in days be told she can't have a second helping because the government won't allow it under its new portion-control regulation? Will she be fined if she eats more? How will the government collect the fine if she has no money? What effect will this new requirement have on res-
taurants, some of which have donated surplus food to local food banks and charities for years? Will they have to first comply with government dietary regulations before they donate anything? Mire the process in red tape and bureaucracy and the restaurants won't think it's worth the trouble to donate at all. It takes the notion of “food police” to a new level. Stier tells the story of Glenn Richter and his wife, Lenore, who for 10 years have led a team of volunteers from their Upper West Side Orthodox synagogue. “They brought freshly cooked, nutrient-rich surplus foods from synagogue events to homeless facilities in the neighborhood.” Many recipients, Richter says, are seniors recovering from alcohol and drug abuse. Last month, writes Stier, employees at a local shelter “turned away food he brought from a bar mitzvah.” It didn't conform to the new regulations. I know the rationale. If the homeless eat nutritional food, it could reduce the number of health problems and presumably lower the cost of health care. But more than the issue

of salt and portion size is the greater issue of liberty, which is being slowly but steadily eroded by big government that wants to save us from ourselves. The freedom to choose what to eat, drink, smoke and a lot of other things -- and to accept the benefits and consequences that go with these choices -- are the wedge issues that government uses to snake its way into new areas of our lives. Our Founding Fathers issued many warnings about the dangers of growing and intrusive government, which they sought to control with the Constitution. Among the best was from Thomas Jefferson: “Most bad government has grown out of too much government.” No better example of that can be found than in what Mayor Bloomberg has forced on the hungry of New York City.

Death row inmate loses claims Associated Press
JACKSON — The Mississippi Supreme Court has sided with an Adams County judge who ruled death row inmate Joseph Patrick Brown was not unfairly treated when his attorneys decided against pursuing a mental evaluation of their client. The Supreme Court, in a 5-4 decision Thursday, agreed with Circuit Judge Isadore W. Patrick that Brown's attorneys “had not acted deficiently so as to satisfy a claim of ineffective assistance.” In 2009, Brown's case was among nine death row post-conviction appeals in which the Supreme Court asked trial judges why they had not ruled — or scheduled

hearings. Brown's claims of ineffective counsel were heard in Adams County Circuit Court in 2004. But no ruling was issued. Patrick, who was appointed to the case by the Supreme Court, issued a ruling denying the petition in 2010. In a post-conviction petition, an inmate argues he has found new evidence — or a possible constitutional issue — that could persuade a court to order a new trial. The Supreme Court asked Patrick to determine if there was merit to Brown's complaint about his attorneys' failure to ask questions about a state mental examination or to pursue an examina-
tion themselves Chief Justice Bill Waller Jr., writing for the court's majority, said Thursday that Brown's attorneys, after talking with doctors from the state mental hospital where Brown was examined, decided “not to have the doctors produce a report after determining that such report would be more harmful than helpful.” Waller said that decision was courtroom strategy; a case, he said, “where a conscious decision was made to go forward with certain witnesses but not others.” Four dissenting justices said it appeared Brown was not given all the material and records he needed to support his
claims. Brown was convicted and sentenced to death in Adams County in 1994 for the killing of a convenience store clerk in Natchez. Prosecutors said Brown and his girlfriend were driving around Natchez on Aug. 8, 1992, looking for drugs when they pulled into the Charter Food Store where Martha Day worked. Brown's girlfriend testified that she saw Day grab her chest and fall after Brown approached the counter. The woman said Brown returned to the car with a cash register and other items. Police said Day was shot four times and died at the scene.

3 including coach’s son sentenced in drug case Associated Press
JACKSON — Three people have been sentenced on federal drug charges stemming from the same undercover investigation that snared a central Mississippi high school football coach. Joseph Patrick Coates of Pearl, Daniel Blake Huber of Jonesboro, Ark., and Charles Autry of Palestine, Ark., were sentenced this week in U.S. District Court in Jackson. Coates' father, David Coates, and his sister, Mary Alice Coates, were arrested in the same undercover investigation. David Coates was a longtime coach at Northwest Rankin High School.
Patrick Coates, who was a student at the University of Mississippi, was sentenced to 9 years. He was charged with sale of MDMA, the main ingredient in Ecstasy, and possession of narcotics. Huber was sentenced to nearly 3 1/2 years for possession with intent to distribute MDMA or Molly. Autry was sentenced to about 3 years for possession with intent to distribute MDMA. Federal drug agents said the investigation targeted club drugs, including ecstasy, LSD and high-grade marijuana. The alleged ring operated in Hinds, Madison, Rankin, Lafayette and Forrest counties.

Kitten hitches ride over Golden Gate Associated Press
SANTA CRUZ, Calif. — A stowaway kitten is safe despite taking a ride in a van’s engine compartment that included a trip across Golden Gate Bridge. A Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter spokes-
man says the 8-month-old female feline was probably just looking for a warm place to sleep. The Santa Cruz Sentinel reports the van’s roadtripping driver left from Marin County and spent the night in a Mill Valley
parking lot before heading out Wednesday morning for Santa Cruz. He didn’t stop until he reached a gas station in the beachfront city, where he heard a distinct meowing. He opened the hood and found the kitten.
Supreme Court to decide on universal health care health care law: Take away the mandate and the wheels fall off. Politically it was a wobbly construction from the start. It seems half of Washington has flip-flopped over mandating insurance. One critic dismissed the idea this way: “If things were that easy, I could mandate everybody to buy a house and that would solve the problem of homelessness.” That was Obama as a presidential candidate, who was against health insurance mandates before he was for them. Once elected, Obama decided a mandate could work as part of a plan that helps keep premiums down and assists those who can't afford them. To hear Republicans rail against this attack on personal freedom, you'd never know the idea came from them. Its model was a Massachusetts law signed in 2006 by Mitt Romney, now the front-runner of the Republican presidential race, when he was governor. Another GOP hopeful, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, supported a mandate on individuals as an alternative to President Bill Clinton's health care proposal, which put the burden on employers. All four GOP presidential candidates now promise to repeal the Affordable Care Act, which they call “Obamacare.” Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum calls it “the death knell for freedom.” So much for compromise. Obama and congressional Democrats pushed the mandate through in 2010, without Republi-
BY CONNIE CASS Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Death, taxes and now health insurance? Having a medical plan or else paying a fine is about to become another certainty of American life, unless the Supreme Court says no. People are split over the wisdom of President Barack Obama's health care overhaul, but they are nearly united against its requirement that everybody have insurance. The mandate is intensely unpopular even though more than 8 in 10 people in the United States already are covered by workplace plans or government programs such as Medicare. When the insurance obligation kicks in, not even two years from now, most people won't need to worry or buy anything new Nonetheless, Americans don't like being told how to spend their money, not even if it would help solve the problem of the nation's more than 50 million uninsured. Can the government really tell us what to buy? Federal judges have come down on both sides of the question, leaving it to the Supreme Court to sort out. The justices are allotting an unusually long period, six hours over three days, beginning March 26, to hear arguments challenging the law's constitutionality. Their ruling, expected in June, is shaping up as a historic moment in the century-long quest by reformers to provide affordable health care for all. Many critics and supporters alike see the insurance requirement as the linchpin of Obama's
can support, in hopes of creating a fair system that ensures everyone, rich or poor, young or old, can get the health care they need. Other economically advanced countries have done it. Doing nothing is more expensive than most people realize. Congress found that when the uninsured go to clinics and emergency rooms, the care they can't pay for costs nearly $75 billion a year. Much of that cost is passed along and ends up adding $1,000 a year to the average family's insurance premium. The overhaul is neither the liberal dream of a single government program supported by taxes and covering everyone nor the conservative vision of stripping away federal rules and putting free enterprise in charge The Obama plan relies on private companies plus lots of regulation to make sure they provide basic benefits, keep premiums reasonable, and cover the sick as well as the healthy. That's where the mandate comes in. If insurers must cover everyone, even those with existing medical conditions, healthy people have little incentive to sign up before they get sick. Insurance companies argue that if only the sick sign up, insurers will go broke. So the law says everybody must have insurance for themselves and their children, or pay a penalty. Also, because everyone needs health care sometime, if everyone purchases insurance, the price per person can be lower, with the cost of care spread out over many people.

Helping customers understand your value BY MARTIN HARSHBERGER Business Guest Columnist
The most effective marketing strategy is to educate the customer about why your product or service is the best value. Lowest cost is rarely an indicator in the success of a product or service. “Value” sells because it provides the best return on a customer’s investment. Simply put, marketing provides useful information that lets your customers know you understand their needs and provides them potential solutions. But you can't help them understand your products or services unless you first understand their needs. In other words, you can't start building your pitch about why your new “widget” is the best thing on the market until you understand the reasons why people buy widgets. Here are some questions to ponder about your potential future customers: ■ What are they trying to achieve by purchasing
this item or service? ■ How would they prefer this item or service delivered? ■ How will this item or service be utilized to help them achieve their goals? ■ How can your item or service provide better value than the competition? The tough part is convincing your prospects to agree with you that your widgets are the best. This can be difficult because in this age of the Internet, traditional marketing mediums such as radio, TV, print advertisements and celebrity statements are becoming less effective. That can, however, be good news for small and mid-size companies as the web has somewhat leveled the playing field. Formerly, only big companies could afford to buy influential testimonials and frequent advertising. Today, however, blogs, online forums and other web-based marketing are the great equalizers. Take any product and search it online. You will find several comments indi-
cating the marketplace perception of that brand. The customer is now the marketer instead of (or in addition to being) the one being marketed to! By employing online marketing techniques strategically, you can make a big splash on a limited budget. With the rise of social media, ingenuity is becoming more important than dollars. And it's been proven that consumers respond better to engaging dialogue than to expensive broadcasting. This type of marketing has come to be known as “inbound marketing.” Effective inbound marketing provides enough useful information to your prospective customer base that they seek you out. Your company becomes the recognized expert in your field. Inbound marketing is welcome marketing, providing free, useful information about a potential customer’s issue and then offering great solutions. Traditional marketing is often viewed as
invasive, focused on price or product features, distributed to a mass audience, hoping some of the noise finds its mark. Now with the neverending array of TV commercials, emails and print ads, you need to find a way of reaching your customer that isn’t “lost in the noise.” Having them seek you out is by far the best return on your investment. You may have less traffic to your website or office, but the traffic you do receive will be much better qualified and knowledgeable about your product or service.

Lady Aggies break even BY H. LEE SMITH II lsmith@dailycorinthian.com
IUKA — Kossuth managed just three hits over 12 innings, but came away with a split. The Lady Aggies beat Tishomingo County 3-1 before falling to Muscle Shoals, Ala., 9-0 during Saturday’s Lady Brave Classic. While earning the Saturday split, Kossuth Head Coach Steve Lyles was able to go deep into his bench. Eighteen Lady Aggies littered the scorebook in Game One, with 15 seeing action in the finale. “They all got a little action,” said the veteran baseball and softball coach. Kossuth (7-7) got all three of its hits against the host club. Run-scoring groundouts by Paden Tomlin and Briana Bryan in the first gave the Lady Aggies all the runs they would need. Tish County (7-5) answered with a run in its first at-bat. The game remained 2-1 until McKinley Ragan added an insurance run with an RBIsingle in the sixth. Shelby Stewart and Brittany Brooks had Kossuth’s other safeties. Kaylee Brooke Martin tossed a onehitter to run her mark to 2-0. “If we could hit, we’d be dangerous,” said Lyles. “We have the pitching.” Kossuth was on the other end of some good pitching against Muscle Shoals, Ala., as Rachel Hunter tossed a six-inning no-hitter.

Biggersville’s Daniel Simmons gets in just ahead of the tag while stealing third during the Lions’ Division 1-1A game with Falkner. The Lions (4-6, 3-1) split a division doubleheader on Saturday, losing to Thrasher before beating Falkner.
Lions split 1-1A doubleheader BY H. LEE SMITH II lsmith@dailycorinthian.com
BIGGERSVILLE — Jordan Davis and the Biggersville Lions broke even in a Division 1-1A doubleheader. Davis was the pitcher of record in both ends of a Saturday doubleheader with Division 1-1A foes Thrasher and Falkner. Biggersville dropped a 3-1 decision to Thrasher in the opener despite a one-hit performance by Davis. The Lions had eight hits, but two errors and a plethora of walks curbed their efforts. Emmanuel Simmons paced the BHS attack with a single
and a double. Cole Lauderdale got the win as the Rebels remained unbeaten in 1-1A action. The Lions bounced back to defeat Falkner 10-6 in the nightcap. The split left Biggersville 4-6 overall and 3-1 in league play. Davis entered with the game tied in the fourth and ended up the winner after the Lions scored a pair of runs in their next two at-bats. He went three innings, getting eight of the nine outs via strikeout. Biggersville sent 10 batters to the plate in the first and scored five times. Falkner scored two runs in each of its
first three at-bats. Davis, Blake Anderson and Darian Barnett had three hits each. The Lions outhit the Eagles 14-4.

Final 4 Flop: Gators blow 11-point lead The Associated Press
PHOENIX — Florida seemed to hit every shot it put up in the first half and still had a big lead even after the makes were a little harder to come by in the second. Finally, it appeared, Billy Donovan was going to beat his mentor. Instead, the Gators couldn’t hold it together, sending their coach home from the desert with the most disappointing of his seven losses to Louisville coach Rick Pitino Florida blew an 11-point lead in the second half and couldn’t convert on numerous chances down the stretch,
blowing a shot at another Final Four with a 72-68 loss to Louisville on Saturday in the West Regional final. “Certainly, emotionally going into the game it’s always a difficult situation like that, with our relationship, but I don’t think any coach enjoys losing in this type of situation,” Donovan said. “But if I had to lose, it would have to be him, to have him toward the end of his career to enjoy this experience.” Donovan had done his best to escape the shadow of Pitino, his former coach and boss, winning a pair of national championships and
making three trips to the Final Four. When it came to beating the old man, he hadn’t been able to do it, losing in six previous tries, including two Louisville-Florida matchups. In easily their biggest meeting, Donovan appeared to have the upper hand on his mentor, the Gators playing in his old Billy the Kid image, hitting eight 3-pointers and shooting 66 percent in the first half against one of the nation’s best defenses. Even when the perimeter shots started clanging — 0-for-9 from beyond the arc in the second half — Florida
(26-11) still had a 58-47 lead with just under 11 minutes left. Then it started going horribly wrong. Louisville (30-9) went on a 10-0 run to get within 1 and kept rolling. Florida couldn’t stop the Cardinals, particularly Chane Behanan inside, and missed six shots with a turnover over the final 2:39. Instead of a trip to New Orleans and the Final Four, the Gators were headed back to Gainesville, wondering how what seemed like such a comfortable lead got away from Please see GATORS | 9A
Ohio State beats Syracuse to reach Final 4 The Associated Press
BOSTON — Ohio State coach Thad Matta sized up his team in the middle of the season and had it figured for a first-weekend loss when the NCAA tournament came around. He’s never been so happy to be wrong. Jared Sullinger recovered from first-half foul trouble to score 19 points and grab seven rebounds, helping Ohio State
beat top-seeded Syracuse 7770 on Saturday to advance to the Final Four. The secondseeded Buckeyes will play the winner of Sunday’s Midwest Regional final between North Carolina and Kansas. Deshaun Thomas scored 14 with nine rebounds for Ohio State (31-7), which led by eight points with 59 seconds to play and held on after the Orange cut it to three. The Buckeyes made 13 of 14 free throws in
the final 68 seconds and 31 of 42 from the line in all. The Buckeyes are making their first trip to the Final Four since 2007, when they lost in the national championship game to Florida. Brandon Triche scored 15 points and Baye Keita had 10 rebounds for Syracuse (34-3). The Orange were hoping for a return trip to New Orleans, where they won their only national championship in 2003.
In a tightly officiated game that left Sullinger on the bench in foul trouble for most of the first half and Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim not-quite muzzled after picking up a technical foul, it came down to free throws. Syracuse was called for 29 fouls — its most in more than three years — despite playing its usual 2-3 zone. The Orange went to the line Please see BUCKEYES | 9A
Lady Vols top upstart Kansas, move into regional final The Associated Press
DES MOINES, Iowa — Tennessee was down 14 points against 11th-seeded Kansas, an unheralded bunch that few though could test the mighty Lady Vols. Feisty sophomore Meighan Simmons gave Tennessee the boost it needed to survive and advance to yet another regional final. Simmons scored 16 of her
22 points off the bench in the second half and Tennessee rallied past the Jayhawks 84-73 Saturday and advanced to its second straight regional final and 25th in 31 years. Glory Johnson added 18 points for the second-seeded Lady Vols (27-8), who’ll meet undefeated and top-seeded Baylor on Monday night for a spot in the Final Four. It was the 1,098th win for
Tennessee coach Pat Summitt, who announced in August she’d been diagnosed with early onset dementia, Alzheimer’s type, and has yet to commit to coaching next season. “The first half we tend to get ourselves in a hole, but we fought back,” said Tennessee associate head coach Holly Warlick. “I thought our bench was outstanding.” The Lady Vols trailed 26-12
in the first half, but cut the deficit to 35-30 by halftime. They took the lead for good with a 19-9 run to open the second half. Angel Goodrich had a gamehigh 23 points and Aishah Sutherland had 19 for Kansas (21-13), which fell to 0-3 in regional semifinals. Shekinna Stricklen had 16 points and nine rebounds for Tennessee.

them. Bradley Beal and Erik Murphy had 14 points each to lead Florida. “It feels terrible,” said Florida’s Erving Walker, who had 12 points. “I mean, we had a lead, we gave it up late. We just didn’t make shots and didn’t defend them.” Donovan has a tight relationship with Pitino that goes back 25 years, when the fire-at-will guard led Providence and coach Pitino to an improbable run to the Final Four. Donovan reluctantly agreed when Pitino asked him to dress up as Billy the Kid for the team program — complete with cowboy hat and spurs — and became close to Pitino’s son, Richard, who used to sit on his lap when he was barely out of diapers and is now the associate head coach under his father. Rick Pitino also gave Donovan his first coaching job while he was at Kentucky.

Fishing on area lakes off to hot start Fishermen in Northeast Mississippi have had plenty to smile about this year. Aside from the wind being a little stout on some days, the weather has been unseasonably warm and the fishing action on David area lakes Green has been just as hot. Outdoors B a y Springs and Pickwick are the two most frequented lakes with the latter receiving the most attention, and for good reason. Pickwick has become known as one of the top bass fisheries anywhere in the country, and numerous fish
of more than 10 pounds have already been reported caught this year along with very good catches of average sized fish. The new craze in fishing lures, the Alabama rig, which most of you have probably heard about countless times by now, has been catching the majority of the fish. The rig is designed to fish up to 5 lures at once. But be careful about where you make your next cast. In Tennessee waters, only 3 lures can be used at a time. From what I understand, several fishermen around the state have been ticketed for using the rigs illegally. Bass are not the only species of fish bending rods on Pickwick. The crappie bite, which was almost non-existent last
year, has made a strong comeback. Several anglers are regularly catching limits, and a few I’ve spoken with said they were able to accomplish that feat by lunch time on certain days. A red jig head with a chartreuse skirt has been the most consistent producer all year long. Crappie fishing on Pickwick looks bright well into the future. Anglers are making good catches of eating sized fish, but they are also catching and releasing lots of small fish that are less than the legal limit of 9 inches. March is prime time for catching bass on Bay Springs, especially if you’re hoping to latch onto a super-sized spotted bass. This lake is
known for producing some whoppers, and it has been said that if the state record is ever broken, it will probably happen at Bay Springs. According to a report recently released by the Mississippi Dept. of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks, spotted bass and crappie populations are in good shape at Bay Springs Lake, and the “river lakes” to the south, Aberdeen, Columbus and Aliceville, also support healthy populations of crappie and catfish. MDWFP fisheries biologists are enthused about the prospects of angler success in the upcoming fishing season, and they are encouraging folks to take advantage of the fishing opportunities in our state lakes.
A population sampling taken in the fall of 2011 showed high catch rates of small bass being caught on Lake Monroe, Elvis Presley Lake, Tippah County Lake and Lake Lowndes State Park. “Due to the large population of smaller bass, creel limits have been increased to 30 fish per day and we want to encourage folks to harvest those smaller fish,” said MDWFP Fisheries Biologist Tyler Stubbs. “These lakes also have quality crappie and bream populations, especially in Lake Monroe,” added Stubbs. Anglers looking to catch a mess of catfish should try their luck at Oktibbeha County Lake or Elvis Presley Lake as both lakes boast healthy
populations of qualitysized catfish. Sportsman here in the northeastern corner of the state have a number of good places to put their fish catching skills to the test, and there’s no reason to think the sizzle to the start of the spring fishing season will let up anytime soon. With news of that magnitude, it’s no wonder why area fishermen have had plenty to smile about. (Alcorn County resident David Green is an avid hunter and fisherman in the Crossroads area. Anyone wishing to share their own unique outdoor story or have any news to report pertaining to the outdoors, David can be contacted at dgreen_outdoors@ yahoo.com.)
Most all parts of mayapple plant are poisonous BY JAMES L. CUMMINS Conservation Corner
The mayapple is a herbaceous plant. It is found primarily in woodlands and partially shaded hillside seeps. This plant goes by several names including: duck’s foot, Devil’s apple, wild lemon, hog apple, love apple, Indian apple and umbrella plant. Mayapple grows to between 1 and 2 feet in height. Some plants produce a single leaf from a long stalk. These plants do not produce a flower. Mayapple plants with two leaves produce a single nodding flower that blossoms below the leaves. The plant typically bears lobed leaves that span up to 1 foot across and 1 foot in length.
There are between 5 and 9 lobes per leaf that are deeply divided. The flower that is produced is about 1.5 inches across and has between 6 and 9 white petals. The blooming period occurs from mid- to late spring and lasts about 3 weeks. Each flower is replaced by an egg-shaped berry that resembles a lime, is fleshy and contains several seeds. Two inches long and yellow when ripe, this berry is produced only when cross-pollination of the flower occurs. Mayapple often produces dense vegetative colonies that exclude other spring flowering plants. All parts of the plant, except the fruit, are poi-

Even the fruit, though not dangerously poisonous, can cause unpleasant indigestion. Ancient records show that American ethnic groups drank a ferment prepared from the dehydrated and crushed rhizome of mayapple as a medication to cure worms in the intestines. They also used the substance as a remedy for snakebites and as a laxative to clean the bowel. Later, mayapple was used as an ingredient for

preparing a laxative and sold over the counter as a medicine called “Carter’s Little Liver Pills.” Today, herbal practitioners use different parts of the mayapple to treat things such as warts or moles and have used them to combat some skin cancers. According to researchers, podophyllotoxin, (the fatal ingredient of the herb), stops cell division and also possesses the ability to restrain tumor production.
Of significant note, the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) has approved two drugs – etoposide and teniposide – prepared from podophllotoxin for use in the United States. Etoposide is administered as a treatment for testicular and small-cell lung cancers and rheumatoid arthritis. Teniposide is used for conditions including brain tumors, infancy leukemia, a variety of lymphomas and other neoplastic diseases. However, the FDA has banned the use of mayapple as a laxative due to the highly toxic nature of the plant which makes dosing difficult to calculate. Podophyllotoxin is too toxic for home use due to its caustic nature and
products for oral use have been withdrawn from the market for safety. Topical preparations of podophyllotoxin require professional application and must be rinsed off after 1 to 4 hours. Because human poisoning can result from topical application, as well as ingestion, it is important that you be able to identify this plant in order to avoid contact. (James L. Cummins is executive director of Wildlife Mississippi, a non-profit, conservation organization founded to conserve, restore and enhance fish, wildlife and plant resources throughout Mississippi.

AT&T boosts rural broadband Associated Press
JACKSON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; AT&T has committed $53 million to an effort to bring broadband access to more rural areas in Mississippi. AT&T Mississippi President Mayo Flynt tells the Clarion-Ledger that the program will target mainly poor and rural areas where broadband is not available. Flynt said that by the end of the year, the company hopes to bring broadband to more than 30,000 additional households in 170-plus communities throughout its statewide service network. AT&T is also undertaking a simultaneous expansion of its wireless network. The money comes from the Federal Communications Commission's Universal Service Fund, which last year was altered to emphasize greater broadband availability as opposed to its previous focus on voicebased service. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Previously, the money we received could be spent on technology geared toward voice (service),â&#x20AC;? Flynt said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We said, 'Now we can spend money on some-

thing we couldn't spend it on before.' â&#x20AC;&#x153; The FCC hopes to bring broadband to 7 million more people in economically disadvantaged areas nationwide by 2017. It plans to spend $500 million to build new broadband networks. AT&T's broadband project also will help the state's economy, said Jim Barksdale, the Mississippi Development Authority's executive director and chairman of the Mississippi Broadband Connect Coalition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Expanding broadband to all Mississippi residents is not an inexpensive endeavor, and this investment is a great step in the right direction to move Mississippi forward,â&#x20AC;? he said in a news release. Flynt said the number of landlines AT&T Mississippi customers' use has dropped since 2000 from 1.35 million to less than 700,000. An average of 6,700 landlines were disconnected per month last year, he said, and there are three times as many wireless customers across all carriers in the state than those who use only landlines.

Authorities say the vehicle with the couple and the baby was pulled over Friday on U.S. Highway 78 near the Red Banks exit in north Mississippi. The baby was not harmed. Authorities arrested the child's 20-year-old mother, Taylor Nicole Maskill, and her boyfriend, 47-year-old Johnny Douglas Johnson. Sheriff's spokesman Jimmy Warren says the baby was taken by the Department of Human Services and was later taken to Birmingham. Ala., where his grandparents picked him up.

Capsule reviews of newly released movies Associated Press
“The FP” — One gets the sensation while watching this low-budget ‘80s parody that a bunch of people went trolling at a vintage clothing store one day, found some moon boots, acid-washed jean jackets and neon tank tops and decided to make a movie about them. “The FP” makes fun of several genres — dance movies, underdog sports flicks, glossy action pictures — and mixes them together in an attempt at kitschy cult infamy. But rather than crafting a movie that’s so bad it’s good, writer-director brothers Jason and Brandon Trost have come up with something that’s just plain bad — and boring, and repetitive. Once you get past the initial laugh factor of the hideous retro trappings, there isn’t much left. The predominately white characters talk
in the sort of co-opted, clunky hip-hop slang that might have worked for a little while in a sketch but soon grows tiresome. As an attempt at social commentary, this approach feels half-baked; as comedy, it just feels numbing. In a futuristic wasteland known as “The FP” (actually the Southern California mountain town of Frazier Park), a turf war is raging between trashtalking dance gangs. Jason Trost stars as JTRO (pronounced JAYtro), who loses his older brother, BTRO (Brandon Barrera), in a deadly “Beat-Beat Revelation” video game showdown with their gold-toothed rival, L Dubba E (Lee Valmassy). A year later, JTRO is dragged out of hiding to avenge his brother’s death in a rematch. R for pervasive language, sexual content, some nudity and brief
drug material. 83 minutes. One star out of four. ■■■
“The Hunger Games” — Fans should be satisfied with director Gary Ross’ adaptation of the first of Suzanne Collins’ best-selling trio of novels about Katniss Everdeen, the independent, 16-yearold heroine fighting for survival in a futuristic, fascist society. The script adheres rather closely to Collins’ book — no surprise there since she cowrote it with Ross and Billy Ray — although it does truncate some of the subplots that provide its greatest emotional heft as well as soften the brutal violence of the games themselves, ostensibly in the name of securing a PG-13 rating. Still, the makers of “The Hunger Games” have managed the difficult feat of crafting a film that feels both epic and intimate at once. And Jennifer Lawrence
is an ideal choice to play Katniss. She has a startling screen presence with her natural beauty, instincts and maturity beyond her years, yet there’s a youthful energy and even a vulnerability that make her relatable to the core, target audience of female fans. A postapocalyptic version of North America has been divided into 12 districts. Every year, a teenage boy and girl from each are selected randomly at the “Reaping” and sent to the opulent, art deco Capitol, where they’re made over, trained and primed to fight each other to the death until one is left standing in the sprawling arena. When Katniss’ younger sister, Prim, is chosen from District 12, Katniss volunteers in her place. Josh Hutcherson co-stars as Peeta, the baker’s son and her male counterpart, with Stanley Tucci, Woody Harrel-
son and Elizabeth Banks among the strong supporting cast. PG-13 for intense violent thematic material and disturbing images — all involving teens. 142 minutes. Three stars out of four. ■■■
“The Raid: Redemption”: The film speed of 24 frames-per-second barely outruns the relentless pace of pummeling that thumps through this Indonesian martial arts flick. The Welsh filmmaker Gareth Huw Evans has mined the Indonesian fighting style of Silat, which he first sought out to document and then fictionalized in the little-seen 2009 film “Merantau.” “The Raid” is fashioned as a prequel to “Merantau,” but story doesn’t have much to do with it. A 20-member SWAT team storms a dilapidated, monolithic, 15-story high rise in Ja-
karta, where a crime lord (Ray Sahetapy) has created an impenetrable lair. The siege is immediately overmatched, locked in a maze of grimy hallways and surrounded by encroaching gang members. A rookie on the force, Rama (Iko Uwais, who also choreographed the fighting), proves a particularly good and inventive fighter. Small amounts of backstory bleed out of the action, but there’s little propelling things beside the simple kinetic kick of the film’s video game-like plot. The claustrophobia of the film’s dingy, byzantine corridors could be taken for a metaphor for omnipresent corruption, but any such thought evaporates in the neverending flurry of combat. R for strong brutal violence throughout, and language. Indonesian with English subtitles. 100 minutes. Two stars out of four.
Shakeups at OWN test Winfrey-Discovery relationship BY LYNN ELBER Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Oprah Winfrey is used to running the show, whether it was her hit daytime TV program or the fledgling cable channel named for her and which she rules as chairman and chief executive. But this week’s Oprah Winfrey Network shakeup, which included a 20 percent staff layoff, thrusts her into a new dynamic: power-sharing with a top executive from the company that’s bankrolled OWN with $300 million-plus. It’s a crucial moment
for the media queen, who made OWN her next big move after “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” and for OWN itself: Can Winfrey work as an effective corporate teammate with Discovery Communications to turn the struggling channel around? There’s another bedrock question: Does a big enough audience exist for the earnest, uplifting fare on Winfrey’s OWN, so antithetical to the blowsy charms of “Jersey Shore,” “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” and much else popular on cable? As important as control might be to Winfrey, she’s
also a savvy businesswoman and has been willing to take advice before. “In the past, when she was becoming too ‘New Age,’ or becoming too distant, which can come with celebrity and wealth, the folks at King World would do a survey” and pass the results to her, said Bill Carroll, with media consulting firm Katz Media. Winfrey heard the public “and adjusted to what they were saying,” Carroll said. Winfrey started off slowly with OWN, busy wrapping her talk show’s 25-year run last fall with much hoopla. She began
Horoscopes Sunday, March 25, 2012 BY HOLIDAY MATHIS Creators Syndicate
As if the Mercury retrograde wasn’t enough, Uranus adds a “Can I get a what-what?” to the mix as he commits to his annual alignment with the sun. There’s a layer of glossy tension reaching around the cosmic scene like a bubble. It’s just the kind of thing that Aries energy can’t resist. ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your joy may be playing tricks on you now. Making happiness your ultimate goal will not bring you happiness. However, working toward a worthy purpose will have a happy side effect. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). “You are loved. There’s an invisible world all around you. A kingdom of spirits commissioned to guard you, do you not see it?” From “Jane Eyre,” by your sign mate Charlotte Bronte, and most applicable. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You have a talent that you never think of as such: You can quickly unwind your mind and change gears. This ease you feel in the transitions will help you win at life today and beyond. CANCER (June 22-July 22). If your body expects a certain sensation, it will not feel it as acutely. It’s the surprises that hurt or thrill your senses the most. You’ll use this principle to your advantage. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You have marvelous potential for getting what you want out of whatever kind of relationship you focus your powers on now. This is true mostly because you’re so adept at sensing what others need and offering it in exchange. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You can
improve other people’s moods just by listening to them. You have a way of making people feel heard and understood on deeper levels. Your ears are instruments of healing. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). When accidents happen, you have a mature approach. Life has taught you not to take things too personally. However, if you think someone hurt you on purpose, that changes the entire scenario. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your offerings are strong, and you present them in a very appealing light. In the end, it boils down to confidence. Your opinion of yourself will be the determining factor in whether you get a deal or not. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You have reason to be ever so cautiously optimistic. Expecting to have an easy road will make the road harder. Conversely, preparing for hardship somehow makes you rather magically immune to it. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There’s humor in the argumentative banter that goes on between you and a loved one, though you don’t always see it as funny in the moment. The evening’s objectivity makes prior interactions seem ridiculous. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Preconceptions will work in your favor now. Play out imaginary scenarios in your head as a way of getting ready. Think a situation through several times before enacting it in real life. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll exert high energy for most of the day and then hit a definite turning point this evening. Relax when it’s time to relax, and you’ll save yourself from burning out or feeling run down later.
Cryptoquip
exerting more control after leaving daytime, and as part of the executive turnover that began five months after OWN’s January 2011 debut to disappointing ratings. Christina Norman, who was dismissed as CEO in May 2011, had expressed hope that, within its first year, OWN would reach an average of about 400,000 viewers in prime-time among women ages 25-to-54. That would have been a doubling of the prime-time audience in that demo for Discovery Health, the channel OWN replaced. For the year to date,
OWN is averaging 318,000 total viewers in prime-time, a 9 percent increase over the same period last year. For viewer Mamie Kwayie of Chicago, OWN’s selling point is programs like “Oprah’s Master Class.” “These shows work because they’re infused with Ms. Winfrey’s core platform for meaningful messages and impactful storytelling,” she said. Such programs strike others as virtuous but dull, among them Robert Thompson, director of the Bleier Center for Television and Popular Culture
at Syracuse University. “You have to admire Oprah for this, but it doesn’t seem she’s willing to put the kinds of shows on that the channel really needs,” Thompson said. “What OWN needs is ‘Jersey Shore.’ What OWN needs is ‘Real Housewives,’ a splashy program that everyone watches and talks about, that may have questionable elements.” “It seems the kind of spectacular reality show that OWN needs is one that seems to be outside the definition of what OWN will accept,” he said.
