BY BRANT SAPPINGTON bsappington @dailycorinthian.com

Fall has officially arrived in the Crossroads area and cooler temperatures have residents looking for ways to avoid sticker shock when they receive their power bills.

Alcorn County Electric Power Association is reaching out to its customers with a program offering a free checkup for their home to look for ways to boost energy efficiency and cut usage.

Grisham said if people are willing to spend a little bit of money to make the recommended improvements they can end up saving significant amounts on their power bills over the long term.

The engineer said in

home energy audits are offered through a partnership with the Tennessee Valley Authority.

ACE will send a trained employee out to the customer’s home to look at the property and make recommendations for improvements that can save them

doing the audits there are several areas they’ve seen come up consistently where people can make big improvements. He said for those who live in manufactured homes it’s important to make sure the underpinning and skirting is in good condi-

tion and there aren’t any gaps or holes where cold air can slip in.

All homeowners should inspect their insulation, particularly in the attic areas, and see if it has settled or compacted.

BY BOBBY J. SMITH bjsmith@dailycorinthian.com

There’s a new director at Main Street Corinth.

Montana Hill will start Monday as the director of Main Street.

“We’re excited about bringing Montana Hill in,” said John Orman, president of the Main Street board. “She’ll bring a lot of energy and enthusiasm to the job and help us move Main Street even further forward.”

Hill is a resident of Memphis, Tenn. She attended Northeast Mississippi Community College and the University of Mississippi, where she earned a BA in Psychol-

Hill will fill the position formerly occupied by Kelly Rinehart, who is now the marketing membership coordinator for The Alliance.

“We hate to lose Kelly — she did a good job,” said Orman. “And we’re glad she found a position in the Alliance. While we lost her as a director, we haven’t completely lost her.

Marlar Band prepping new album

BY BOBBY J. SMITH bjsmith@dailycorinthian.com

The sun has already disappeared on a chilly Wednesday evening and the Frankie Marlar band is practicing at drummer Blake Dixon’s house east of Corinth.

The 29-year-old Dixon is the youngest of the band members, but already a veteran musician. Before hooking up with the Marlar Band he was part of the hard rock group Saving Abel that sprang from Corinth roots to nationwide success with the song “Addicted” — which rose to #2 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock charts.

The other guys in the Marlar Band are middleaged and have known each other since the 1970s. But, as Marlar points out, the younger drummer’s depth of experience as a road test-

Marine Corps League begins kids’ coat drive

BY BOBBY J. SMITH bjsmith@dailycorinthian.com

A local veterans’ organization is doing its part help keep the county’s children warm this winter.

The Corinth Marine Corps League is collecting coats for Alcorn County Children.

Ralph Gilliam, “Coats for Children” project co-

ordinator, said he was shocked to discover the level of need in the community when the Marine Corps League first started the program in 2010.

“Now we’re trying to head it up before the winter gets here,” Gilliam said.

“All of our tutors tell us this is the most rewarding thing they have ever done — to help another human being change their lifestyle,” said Dorothy Hopkins, studenttutor coordinator.

One of the current students got involved

because he wanted to be able to read to his grandchildren, she said.

The literacy council currently has 22 tutors and 23 students.

“We’re still teaching inmates, which I think is one of the best things the literacy council does,” said Hopkins.

Featured speaker for Monday’s annual meet-

ing is Lakethie Mays, student of Maury Sills, who will talk about her experiences as a learner.

The council will also recognize Cheryl Meints for her service as interim president. She is stepping aside from that role, and the presidency remains open.

BAND: ‘We don’t try to copy the stuff we play. We put our own flavor in there. We want to make it ours’ CONTINUED FROM 1A

ed gig-playing musician makes him fit right in.

“Blake is seasoned beyond his years,” Marlar says. “There’s no generation gap.”

After Marlar takes a few sips of coffee the rehearsal begins.

They start up with a cover of .38 Special’s “Wild Eyed Southern Boys,” moving on to the Bad Company classic “Can’t

Get Enough of Your Love,” followed by a more obscure tune, “Them Changes” by Buddy Miles, one of Jimi Hendrix’s Band of Gypsies.

The first two songs are faithful interpretations of the originals, but a little bit harder, with added low end rumble from Ken Carpenter’s bass and Dixon’s drums — and serious electric guitar crunch from Marlar and second lead player Dennis Lumpkin.

“We don’t try to copy the stuff we play. We put our own flavor in there,” Marlar explains. “We want to make it ours.”

The band really takes off with the Buddy Miles tune, with Marlar and Lumpkin playing twinned solos and Marlar’s red Floyd Rose talking and screaming as he wails on the whammy bar.

“That’ll cut you right there,” Lumpkin says when the song is over.

Friends, When I decided to seek this office, my wife and I decided I would run a clean and positive campaign. Despite what my opponent or his party may do, I will not engage in a win-at-any-cost style of politics. My campaign will focus on the issues that matter.

He asks the spectating reporter if he’d ever heard the song they just played.

The reporter answers in the affirmative. It was on Hendrix’s “Band of Gypsies” album. The musicians seem impressed and the reporter is pleased with himself.

“Let’s do a mellow one,” suggests Carpenter on the bass.

After a short discussion they’re into Bob Seger’s “Main Street,” then the Bill Withers classic “Ain’t No Sunshine,” then another Bad Company song.

Before they take a break the band plays a hard rock version of the Hollies’ “Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress.” They take turns playing solos and without a pause the song suddenly becomes “Day Tripper,’ the riff-heavy Beatles classic.

The band is tight and in good form — and everyone appears to be having a good time.

“I’m glad to be playing again,” Dixon says. “It feels good.”

The new album All this fun does serve a purpose, however. The Marlar Band is warming up, getting itself in shape to record a new album with top tier producer and sound engineer Jim Gaines, the proprietor of Bessie Blue Studio in Stantonville, Tenn.

winner who has worked with some of the biggest acts in the business, from blues gods like Stevie Ray Vaughn, Buddy Guy and John Lee Hooker, to rock luminaries Huey Lewis, Steve Miller and Van Morrison.

Marlar is psyched about the new album. At this point he’s aiming at 10 tracks, about half acoustic and half electric, with covers and originals — a disc that encompasses what he and the Marlar Band is all about: Playing rock ‘n’ roll.

Marlar is a native of Corinth. He started out playing music at the age of seven. By age 13 he was playing in bars and clubs, sharing the stage with older musicians — with his parents’ written permission.

Now, four decades later, Marlar carries himself like the lifelong rock ‘n’ roller he is. With a compact build and the dark features of a Native American — capped with a massive forest of wavy black hair — he looks much younger than his 53 years and somewhat like the War Chief of rock ‘n’ roll.

“Rock ‘n’ Roll can keep you young,” he says. “No matter what they tell you.”

Over the years Marlar has played with and opened for many nationally well-known bands.

He had an opportunity to join the southern rock bank Blackfoot, but de-

clined in order to honor a previous obligation. In an early version of the band Marlar and Carpenter opened for Steppenwolf in Helena, Ark. The Marlar Band opened for the Marshall Tucker Band at Darryl Worley’s 2010 Tennessee River Run Rock Concert.

Marlar has already cut five acoustic songs in the studio. He records live with overdubs only on some of the harmony vocals. Later in the fall he plans to go back into Gaines’ studio to cut five more songs, this time originals with the band.

They’re looking at spring 2012 as the release date for the new album, if all goes well. With a legendary producer at the helm and a band comprised of some of the best players the region has to offer, the upcoming Marlar Band album could mean a whole new level of exposure for the guys.

But that’s not what it’s ever been about. During rehearsal the reporter asks the second lead guitar player, Lumpkin, what the best part of it all was.

“The music! Just playing the music,” he said, a little puzzled at a question with such an obvious answer.

Marlar has another take on it: “It’s just what I do. It was always what I wanted to do,” Marlar said.

“There never was anything else.”

Do the mainstream media report fairly?

What if John McCain and Sarah Palin had won in 2008 and produced the same economy we have today? How might the mainstream media characterize our standing today?

In January 2009 unemployment stood at 7.8-percent, black unemployment was 10.2-percent, more than 133 million workers were employed, regular gasoline cost $1.84 per gallon, national debt was $10.6 trillion, our debt to GDP ratio was 84.2-percent, and the previous year’s (FY ’08) deficit was under $500 billion.

One year later in JanuDaniel ary 2010 unemployment had Gardner soared to 9.7-percent. Black unemployment had rocketed Syndicated columnist to 16.3-percent, we had lost 4.3 million jobs, regular gasoline had jumped to $2.76 per gallon, national debt had ballooned to $12.3 Trillion, our debt to GDP ratio climbed to 93.2-percent, and the previous year’s (FY ’09) deficit was $1.4 trillion, the highest deficit in history.

Interestingly, the mainstream media was very kind to Obama and Biden, placing all of the blame directly on Bush. Obama had done the best he could and had kept us from sliding into another Great Depression. In other words, Bush had created an economic mess and if Obama had not done what he had done we would surely have slid into our second Great Depression. But, things were looking up!

By the spring of 2010 Obama and Biden were touting the next few months as the Summer of Recovery! Their economic policies were finally kicking in and America was on track to more prosperous times.

However, dismal economic numbers plagued America throughout the summer and into the fall, and rhetoric about the Summer of Recovery shriveled in the afterglow of by-gone campaign speeches. Still the mainstream media cast nearly all of the blame for our economic woes on Bush.

By January 2011 unemployment remained stubbornly high at 9-percent, we had regained just over one million jobs out of the 4.3 million we had lost in 2009, Black unemployment had risen another point to 17.3-percent, regular gasoline had jumped the $3 barrier and stood at $3.04 per gallon, national debt continued epic expansion to more than $14 Trillion, and our previous year’s (FY ’10) deficit was $1.3 Trillion, the second highest in history.

If McCain and Palin had won in 2008, what analysis might the mainstream have offered of their performance, particularly regarding our “jobless” recovery? Would progressive pundits have continued blaming Bush? Or, would they have blamed McCain for his policies?

Today unemployment stands at 9.1-percent, we’ve added about 846,000 jobs since January but are still more than 2-million jobs under January 2009 figures, Black unemployment remains high, regular gasoline is $3.49 per gallon, national debt will soon breach $15 Trillion, our debt to GDP ratio is nearly 100-percent, and last year’s deficit (FY ’11) remained steady at $1.3 Trillion.

Even though to his credit Obama has taken ownership of the economy, the mainstream media continue to attribute blame for the economy on everything except Obama’s economic policies. Why? Are mainstream media objective and fair?

Legislators have success story to tell STARKVILLE — With the state’s 2011 general election just around the corner, incumbent state legislators have a success story to tell voters on the issue their role in the management of the state’s sentencing laws and the state’s parole system.

To be sure, a great deal of the credit goes to Corrections Commissioner Chris Epps and to Gov. Haley Barbour for gains made in this critical function of state government, but the Legislatureís role in shaping these issues should not be understated.

In a state that has a historical record of being tough on crime, Mississippi joined a host of states around the country in adopting socalled ìtruth-in-sentencingî or mandatory minimum laws in 1995 that required all inmates sentenced to felony time in the state penitentiary system ñ violent and non-violent offenders alike - after July 1, 1995, to serve 85 percent their term before they could even be considered for parole. The rationale was that longer, tougher prison sentences would be a deterrent to

crime.

There were other factors for adoption of the law as well.

First, lawmakers were scramSid bling to help the state Salter qualify for Syndicated federal fundcolumnist ing under a federal crime bill. Second, lawmakers had grown frustrated with erratic discretionary swings by former Parole Boards between periods of tough and then lax parole standards.

That brought pressure on lawmakers to stabilize paroles. Many believed the ‘truth-in-sentencing law’ would accomplish that.

Finally, ‘truth-in-sentencing’ rode to passage on the cycle of both rising overall FBI index crime (murder and non-negligent manslaughter, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny and motor vehicle theft) rates and rising violent crime rates in the decade prior to legislative adoption of the law. Public support for

adoption of the law was vocal and solid.

But the unintended consequences of the law were alarming.

Mississippi’s prison population soared from 12,292 at the end of the 1995 fiscal year to 31,031 at the end of the 2005 fiscal year. A recent National Conference of State Legislatures report called Principles of Effective State Sentencing and Corrections Policy outlines the broader impact: Mississippi’s state prison population more than doubled and corrections cost increased three-fold following passage of a 1995 truth-in-sentencing law. To deal with swelling prison populations and costs, the Mississippi Legislature twice increased the amount of good-time that low-level offenders were eligible to earn and reinstated parole eligibility for certain nonviolent offenders. In 2008, lawmakers reinstated discretionary parole at 25 percent of the sentence for inmates convicted of nonviolent crimes who have no violent history.

Those moves, coupled with a state Parole Board

risk assessment screening process, kept the state from having to build additional prisons at a time of fiscal crisis. The NCSL report indicated that of some 3,100 state offenders paroled during that process, only 121 were returned to prison ñ 116 for parole violations and only five for new crimes.

Had the Legislature not been willing to adapt and balance the TIS laws, the current fiscal crunch at all levels of state government would have been even more problematic. The TIS laws and the Legislatureís adaptation of tweaks has also stabilized the state’s Parole Board and made that process far less arbitrary and erratic.

The state’s prison system remains an expensive, volatile function of state government. Problems remain, but in terms of reacting in a nimble and progressive manner to needed changes in state sentencing laws and the parole process, the Legislature deserves a tip of the hat from the taxpayers.

Vote for the president because he’s black?

At the 2004 Democratic National Convention in Boston, Sen. Barack Obama said, “...There is not a black America and a white America and Latino America and Asian America -- there is the United States of America.”

Those were welcome and commendable words. Unfortunately, they appear to be only words. Since then, Obama has divided us along race and class lines more than any modern president.

Some of his strongest, high-profile supporters in the black community are now saying that Obama’s race, alone, should be enough for black voters to vote for his re-election.

Krissah Thompson of The Washington Post reports that on “The Tom Joyner Morning Show,” which has an estimated 8 million radio listeners, Joyner, who is black, said, “Stick together, black people.” The show reaches one in four AfricanAmerican adults.

Rev. Al Sharpton, who also has a radio show and a gig on MSNBC, admonished blacks who have been critical of the president, “I’m not telling you to shut up. I’m telling you: Don’t make some of us have to speak up.”

The attempt at poetry is

getting tiresome, Al. Why don’t you leave that to Jesse Jackson?

Joyner went even further on his blog, writes Cal Thompson: Thomas “Let’s not deal with the Syndicated columnist facts right now,” he said. “Let’s deal with just our blackness and pride -- and loyalty. We have the chance to re-elect the first African-American president, and that’s what we ought to be doing. And I’m not afraid or ashamed to say that as black people, we should do it because he’s a black man.”

Try that in football.

Never mind that the black quarterback continues to throw interceptions or drop the ball, keep him in the game simply because he’s black. If that happened, he’d be booed until the coach pulled him off the field, and those boos wouldn’t just be coming from whites.

In the same week the memorial to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was dedicated in Washington, Joyner and Sharpton are saying that Barack Obama should be

judged not on the content of his character and policies, but rather on the color of his skin. How sad. How racist.

If a black president cannot be held accountable for his policies and must receive the votes of AfricanAmericans solely because of his race, then all of the marching for equal rights has been for nothing. The question ought to be this: are African-Americans, indeed, are all Americans, better off than they were when Barack Obama took office?

By any objective standard, the answer must be “no.” How do black people expect their circumstances to improve if Obama is elected for another four years? If they conclude they will not, why not vote for someone who can create the conditions under which more of them might get a job, for example? Black unemployment is 16.7 percent, the highest it’s been in 27 years.

Sharpton and Joyner don’t have to worry too much about their financial futures. But too many African-Americans remain mired in conditions that have characterized many in their community for de-

cades. Why would they want to continue their lifestyles out of “pride” and “loyalty” when the Democratic Party has been disloyal to them and a better way is available?

Recent Washington PostABC News polls reveal a decline in the number of blacks with “strongly favorable” views of the president and his efforts to improve the economy.

What people like Joyner and Sharpton fear is a loss of a place at the political table, a table that has been set far more elegantly for them than for too many of the African-Americans for whom they claim to speak.

What the slide in Obama’s support in the AfricanAmerican community demonstrates is that increasing numbers of black people are beginning to understand they have been played for suckers by the Democratic Party. They are right to feel this way.

Their loyalty should not be to a party, but to themselves, their families and their best interests, which lie outside a welfare system that has locked too many of them into dependence and an addiction to a government check. What they need instead is a reality check.

brittle and cracked over time and gaps can develop that will let cold air in.

Grisham said those whose homes sit on a conventional foundation, instead of a concrete slab, should also check underneath the floor and make sure all heating ducts are still properly connected. He said small animals or other factors can often cause these ducts to become loosened or even disconnected, causing hot air to bleed into the crawlspace instead of making its way to the vents used to heat the interior of

the home.

Turning down the thermostat is one of the simplest and most effective ways to save energy.

The engineer said studies show for every one degree drop in the thermostat setting, energy usage drops by around 5 percent. If people can live with a slightly cooler home they can save significant money on their power bills.

Teachers work to translate LOLspeak to English

BY CHRIS KIEFFER Associated Press

TUPELO — Shannon High School English teacher Victoria Ashby wrote a five-paragraph essay about a book her class had read and asked her 16-year-old daughter to translate it — not into French or Spanish but into “text-message” speak.

LOL. The next day, she presented it to her class. After they finished asking if she was serious, the students began translating the passage back into standard English.

“It was the greatest experience I ever had,” said Ashby, who teaches English II and integrated writing at Shannon. “They had to fix something I

wrote, and they knew the language, but knew it was inappropriate.”

Today’s writing instructors have a special challenge as they teach students an ancient art in a technological age. They must emphasize formal writing to an audience that has become accustomed to breezy, abbreviated text messaging from a young age.

They also must teach creativity during an era of accountability when student progress is measured by scores on multiple choice standardized tests.

“I think that teaching any content, and particularly teaching language arts, is now harder than it has ever been,” said Kim Patterson, director of

the Mississippi Writing/ Thinking Institute at Mississippi State University.

The challenge has been exacerbated by the proliferation of text messaging. Students enter classrooms with a familiarity for communicating in a language that emphasizes abbreviations and downplays grammar.

“We have set a precedent that slang and acronyms have no place in our class,” said Pasteia Garth, who teaches seventhgrade English at Nettleton Junior High School.

“We don’t let kids get away with ‘LOL.”’ There is a place for text message language, Garth said. But there is also a place for standard English.

That was the lesson

Ashby was trying to teach her students with the translation exercise she created last year.

“They thought it was the greatest thing that they could write that well,” Ashby said. “That helped their skills and their confidence level.”

Distinguishing between the various forms of expression gives educators an opportunity to teach real-life lessons about audience and purpose, said Ellen Shelton.

Shelton is the director of the University of Mississippi Writing Project.

Like its sister organization, MSU’s Mississippi Writing/Thinking Institute, the writing project works with high school teachers to help them

instruct students on the subject.

“Writing is still all about communicating and communicating well, no matter the medium,” Shelton said.

Shelton, a former high school teacher, said she has seen students’ writing become more concise as they adjust to platforms like Twitter, which restricts messages to 140 characters. She has also seen many of her former students now keep their own blogs, writing often without realizing they are writers.

In fact, teachers have been able to use technology with their instruction.

Ashby sometimes uses the classroom projector to have students collaborate

on essays with everyone adding their own part to something displayed on the screen. She also posts a student’s work, without identifying the author, and has classmates edit it.

Tools like spell check and grammar check have weakened editing skills, teachers said. Thus, exercises to improve those skills have become important.

Robert Cummings, director of the Center for Writing and Rhetoric at the University of Mississippi, uses Wikipedia.org for writing assignments he gives to his university students. The website is an encyclopedia that uses content entirely written by the general public all over the world.

Woman found guilty of animal cruelty HATTIESBURG — A 52-year-old woman has been found guilty of 11 counts of animal cruelty and ordered to pay $1,100 to the animal shelter where she tied 11 puppies to the fence after hours.

A Hattiesburg Municipal Court judge gave Patsy Payton of Bay Springs six months to pay the Southern Pines Animal Shelter, and ordered her to have all her current pets spayed or neutered.

The judge suspended an 11-month jail term, Police Lt. Eric Proulx said.

Payton allegedly tied the pups to the shelter’s fence July 10 with baling wire and zip ties, WDAM

reported. It said one died trying to free itself, and the other 10 were so seriously injured they had to be euthanized.

Shelter manager Lara Hudson called the verdict a mini-victory for abused animals.

A state law passed this year changes the rules on how animal cruelty prosecutions for domesticated cats and dogs. Anyone who intentionally tortures, burns, starves or disfigures a dog or cat can be charged with aggravated cruelty. A first offense would remain a misdemeanor, but a second within five years would be a felony.

State giving white shrimp harvest a closer look PASCAGOULA. — Mississippi Department of Marine Resources workers are sampling white shrimp deeper into coastal bays and estuaries than ever before, to see what remains in those nurseries, officials say.

They’re hoping to answer questions from shrimpers who say the Mississippi Sound catch has plummeted, Joe Jewell, deputy director of the Office of Marine Fisheries, said.

“The fishermen are concerned and the regulatory agencies are concerned.

We hear what they (shrimpers) are saying and we’re addressing those concerns,” Jewell said.

Jewell said preliminary results found another batch of white shrimp in the bays and estuaries, but they’re running 80 to 100 per pound — smaller than the 68-per-pound minimum for legal harvest.

Preliminary results show that there is another batch of white shrimp in those bays and estuar-

ies. Those shrimp are averaging 80 to 100 to the pound, Jewell said.

“They’ll need to get a little larger before they get into the Sound to be legal,” Jewell said.

Sentencing set in death of bicyclist JACKSON — A north Mississippi man convicted of being high on morphine when his vehicle struck and killed a Dutch bicyclist on the Natchez Trace Parkway is scheduled for sentencing on Thursday.

Wendell Blount’s sentencing comes more than two years after the death of 51-year-old Esther Hageman of Leiden, Netherlands. Hageman was a veteran journalist for one of the Netherlands’ major newspapers, Trouw.

Prosecutors say Blount was under the influence of morphine when his SUV struck Hageman on April 22, 2009, near Houston, Miss.

Blount, of Calhoun County, was convicted of manslaughter in April 2010, but authorities said he fled house arrest to avoid sentencing. He was captured last October in Baton Rouge, La. Legal wrangling in the case added more delays to the sentencing.

Blount faces up 13 years in prison and $250,000 in fines. His sentencing is scheduled to take place in U.S. District Court in Greenville.

Lafayette County to pay off all outstanding bonds OXFORD — The Lafayette County Board of Supervisors is planning to pay off all outstanding bond debt and lower property taxes.

The decision was made this past week to spend $10 million of the $30 million gained from the sale of Baptist Memorial HospitalNorth Mississippi to pay off all outstanding bonds for the county.

The outstanding total is $10,731,133, according to The Oxford Eagle.

With the plan to pay off the bonds, there also was a vote at Tuesday’s meeting to reduce property tax millages.

“This is probably the best thing I’ve done in this job,” said Lloyd Oliphant, supervisor and board president. “It truly is.”

Bond attorney Bob Wood said the bond payoff will make Lafayette one of the few debt-free counties in Mississippi.

The original four bonds were for almost $20 million. However, the county has paid about half since 1996 when the first $5 million bond for road and bridge constriction was taken out.

Gadhafi is gone but other U.S. foes remain

BY DOUGLAS BIRCH Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Moammar Gadhafi now joins the ranks of dictators, autocrats and other powerful foreign leaders who have battled the United States only to come to a bad end.

But after the demise of Libya’s “Brother Leader,” plus Osama bin Laden, Iraq’s Saddam Hussein and Serbia’s Slobodan Milosevic, there is no shortage of other influential heads of state around the world determined to criticize and challenge the U.S., notably in Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea and Iran.

These leaders have accused the United States of abusing its status as the world’s sole surviving superpower and de-facto leader

of the West, playing to doubts about U.S. intentions to help cement their authority at home and enhance their prestige abroad.

Among the leaders who likely to remain a thorn in the side of the U.S. are: ■ Fidel Castro, who survived CIA assassination plots, the Bay of Pigs invasion and the U.S. economic embargo to excoriate and antagonize the United States from Cuba for more than half a century. Castro, 85, formally resigned as president in February 2008 due to illness but handed the reins to his brother, Raul, and the revolutionary regime survives. CubanU.S. trade is minimal and there are no diplomatic relations between the two countries. The

U.S. accuses the Cuban government of trampling on human rights and silencing dissent, while Havana portrays itself as a victim of U.S. bullying.

■ Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, a popular left-wing activist and former military officer elected in 1998 who instituted radical changes in economic and social policy, including expanding state control of the oil industry. Chavez has accused Washington of plotting to invade Venezuela, called for containment of the U.S., aligned himself with Cuba and signed major arms deals with Russia to build Venezuela into a regional power.

The U.S. likes to portray Venezuela as more of an irritant than an adversary, but that could change

if Chavez hangs onto power and adopts more aggressive policies.

■ Kim Jong Il of North Korea, a Stanlinist-style nation with a 1 million-strong army that has been a thorn in the side of the U.S. since the Korean War. In recent years the U.S. has sought to persuade Kim to give up his small nuclear weapons program, offering economic aid and diplomatic favors as bargaining chips.

But the U.S. accuses Kim of repeatedly reneging on promises to disarm while selling weapons expertise abroad. The U.S. and other nations accused Pyongyang last year of torpedoing a South Korean navy ship and shelling a South Korean island.

■ Iran clerical leadership. The theocratic regime in Tehran has

demonstrated little tolerance for dissent and a deep and abiding hostility to Washington since the overthrow of the U.S.-backed regime of the shah of Iran in 1979. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s broadsides against the U.S. and Israel are a regular feature of U.N. General Assembly meetings, but his is just one voice among many in the Iranian government, which Western analysts say consists of a jigsaw puzzle of anti-Western factions.

The present conflict with Washington grows out of concerns about Iran’s support for terror groups in the Middle East and attacks against U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, but mainly focuses on Tehran’s nuclear ambitions.

Rebels run out of tricks versus Hogs

BY DAVID BRANDT The Associated Press

OXFORD — Houston Nutt had his coaching bag of tricks ready for his former school. It wasn’t quite enough.

Mississippi jumped out to an early 17-point lead before watching No. 10 Arkansas roar back for a 29-24 victory on Saturday afternoon at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.

“I wish we were standing here with a win,” Nutt said.

“We were close, but it didn’t happen.”

Ole Miss took a surprising 17-0 lead by midway through the second quarter, with quarterback Randall Mackey

throwing for a touchdown and rushing for another during the early flourish.

But Arkansas (6-1, 2-1 Southeastern Conference) responded with 29 straight points to beat Ole Miss (2-5, 0-4) for the second straight season. The Rebels have now set a program record for SEC futility, losing 10 straight league games. Ole Miss has been in the SEC since 1933.

Mackey completed 18 of 30 passes for 219 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in his third career start. Brandon Bolden rushed for 68 yards on 14 carries, but was hobbled after a second-

quarter ankle injury and never looked the same.

The Ole Miss offense, which was so impressive in the first half, was equally as anemic after halftime until a late surge.

Mackey found Donte Moncrief in the corner of the end zone for a 4-yard touchdown — his second of the game — and the Rebels pulled within 29-24. The onside kick was recovered by Ole Miss tight end Jamal Mosley with 1:21 remaining and the Rebels briefly had life.

But Arkansas’ Eric Bennett intercepted an errant pass by Mackey on the second play of the drive and the Razorbacks

were able to run out the clock.

Tyler Wilson threw for 232 yards and rushed for two short touchdowns as Arkansas continues its best start in four years under Petrino, staying in the mix in the loaded Western Division that includes LSU and Alabama.

Dennis Johnson rushed for 160 yards on 15 carries, including a 52-yard touchdown.

Joe Adams caught four passes for 124 yards.

The 11:21 a.m. kickoff had the Razorbacks looking a little groggy, but the afternoon brought much better things.

No. 1 LSU beats Auburn in Death Valley

BY BRETT MARTEL The Associated Press

BATON ROUGE, La. — It didn’t matter who was throwing the ball to Rueben Randle, it didn’t matter who was covering him, and it certainly didn’t matter that LSU was missing three key players.

Randle caught a 42-yard scoring pass from Jordan Jefferson and a 46-yard touchdown pass from Jarrett Lee, and No. 1 LSU once again overcame off-the-field distractions in style with a 45-10

victory over 19th-ranked Auburn on Saturday.

LSU was without star cornerback Tyrann Mathieu, leading rusher Spencer Ware and defensive back Tharold Simon — all suspended one game for violating the team’s drug policy.

Yet LSU continued to make team history with its eighth double-digit win in as many games this season, a streak that started with a seasonopening triumph over Oregon without the then-suspended

Jefferson and receiver Russell Shepard.

Off next week, LSU (8-0, 5-0 SEC) will be unbeaten entering its showdown at No. 2 Alabama on Nov. 5.

The Crimson Tide were playing at home Saturday night against struggling Tennessee.

The beneficiary of Ware’s absence was freshman Kenny Hilliard, who scored the first two touchdowns of his career while rushing for 65 yards on only 10 carries.

Randle finished with five receptions for 106 yards. Lee was 14 of 20 for 165 yards and two touchdowns, while Jefferson completed two of three passes for 54 yards.

With Michael Ford leading the way (12 rushes, 82 yards), LSU gained 174 yards on the ground.

Even without two key defensive backs, LSU held Auburn first-time starter Clint Moseley to 145 yards passing Please see LSU | 9A

Williams sparks UK Miami easily tops with productive day No. 20 Georgia Tech The Associated Press

LEXINGTON, Ky. — Kentucky running back CoShik Williams said he knew he’d have a chance to prove himself at some point in his junior season.

The third-stringer got that chance Saturday, and he didn’t waste it. He ran for 148 yards and led Kentucky’s most productive offensive day of the season in a 38-14 win over Jacksonville State.

The Wildcats (3-4) were able to break out after a bye week, earning a season-best 445 yards of total offense and 340 yards on the ground despite missing their two primary tailbacks.

With injuries in the backfield, Williams took up the slack as the primary ball carrier after sophomore Raymond Sanders left in the first quarter with an ankle injury.

Williams, a junior, finished

with 22 carries.

Freshman Josh Clemons, the Wildcats’ leading rusher on the season, had already been ruled out for the season with a knee injury.

“I really think all of our hard work over the past two weeks is what did it for me,” said Williams, whose previous career best was 95 yards rushing against Charleston Southern last season. “We totally redid our mentality of how we practiced. That let me and everyone else just go out there and play well and play focused.”

After the game, Kentucky coach Joker Phillips emphasized how badly his team needed a win Saturday. The Wildcats had lost four games in a row and dropped all the way to 118th out of 120 FBS teams in total offense, earnPlease see UK | 9A

MIAMI — Before every game, Miami safety JoJo Nicholas reaches into his gym bag and pulls out a blanket, then rubs it on his hands while saying a quick prayer.

He prays to his son, who died a few weeks ago after being prematurely born.

It’s these moments that make him savor days like Saturday so much more.

Nicholas recovered a fumbled punt for a touchdown plus added an interception, Lamar Miller ran for 93 yards and a score and Miami’s banged-up defense was dominant as the Hurricanes topped No. 20 Georgia Tech 24-7 on Saturday — holding the high-octane Yellow Jackets more than 300 yards and nearly 36 points below their season averages entering the game.

“The first thought that came to my mind was my son,” Nicholas said. “I’ve always appreciated football, and then you learn to appreciate it even more, because life is never guaranteed.”

Mike James also had a touchdown run for Miami (43, 2-2 Atlantic Coast Conference), which won consecutive games for the first time this season and has now beaten Georgia Tech three straight times by a combined score of 92-34.

“Everybody talks about the ACC race or this and that,” Miami coach Al Golden said.

“I’m trying to teach them the process. The process, when it takes traction, is what allows you to win multiple games in a row. That’s it.”

BASEBALL

restore confidence CONTINUED FROM 8A

“Certainly we didn’t want to start that way, but we kept competing,” Petrino said. “We found a way to win and I’m happy with how we responded.”

Nutt fell to 2-2 against the program he coached for 10 seasons before coming to Oxford.

Nutt said he was proud of how his players fought, but the Razorbacks’ 19-0 edge in the third quarter proved too much to overcome.

“I’d like to have that third quarter back,” Nutt said. “There were two series on offense and two series on defense where we just didn’t do anything.”

The Razorbacks’ league-leading passing offense was never at its best, but Wilson was effective when it mattered. He completed 13 of 28 passes and didn’t throw an interception. Arkansas had 310 total yards in the second half.

“If you watch it on TV, you know how (the game) went,” Ole Miss cornerback Charles Sawyer said. “We had a couple of plays that got away from us and we didn’t finish.”

The Rebels had been crushed the previous week in a 52-7 loss to No. 2 Alabama and had lost three conference games by a combined score of 109-27.

LSU: Deep defense pressures Auburn CONTINUED FROM 8A

sacked him six times and intercepted him once. If anyone questioned how deep LSU could really be at defensive back, it was none other than Mathieu’s replacement, Ron Brooks, who made the interception and returned it 28 yards for a score that made it 42-3 only half way through the third quarter.

Shortly after Brooks scored, the message: “I see you Ron baby!!! THATS WHAT WE DO ...” appeared on Mathieu’s Twitter page.

Auburn (5-3, 3-2) was held to 87 yards rushing, led by Michael Dyer’s 60 yards.

All season, LSU has appeared increasingly galvanized by each potential pitfall and coach Les Miles even mentioned several weeks ago that adversity seems to strengthen his tight-knit team’s resolve.

It’s getting pretty hard to argue with that, considering LSU responded to its latest crisis with the most lopsided victory by either team in the 46-game history of the series. It was Auburn’s worst loss since a 51-10 demolition at the hands of then-No. 1 Florida in 1996.

Wearing special edition uniforms, LSU defenders and coverage teams swarmed to the ball like blazing streaks of white, delivering crushing hits that provoked collective gasps from the Death Valley crowd.

One such hit was delivered by safety Eric Reid, who jarred the ball from kickoff returner Tre Mason. LSU’s Tahj Jones found the football while losing his helmet, rising in celebration with his dreadlocks aflutter.

One generation will commend your works to another.

Big third period sends Clemson past Tar Heels The Associated Press

CLEMSON, S.C. — Giovani Bernard kept watching the deficit grow and knew there was little he or his North Carolina teammates on offense could do about it.

The Tar Heels ran just 10 plays in the third quarter and watched as No. 8 Clemson’s lead grew from a touchdown at the break to 35 points at the end of the period.

The Tigers (8-0, 5-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) went on to a 59-38 victory on Saturday.

“It was definitely tough

watching,” Bernard, the Tar Heels’ tailback, said. “It was hard not being out there, not being able to help our team.

The offense was just sitting on the sideline just worried about the score, seeing it go up.”

North Carolina (5-3, 1-3) appeared to gain the momentum on the high-flying Tigers. The Tar Heels’ defense had stopped a Clemson drive at the end of the second quarter, then forced a three-and-out to start the second half.

That’s when things fell apart for North Carolina.

MIAMI: Defense stops Yellow Jackets CONTINUED FROM 8A

517 yards of offense. The Yellow Jackets got only 211 on Saturday, their lowest total since a loss to Iowa in the Orange Bowl after the 2009 season. In its last 35 games, Georgia Tech has rushed for less than 200 yards only three times, all at Sun Life Stadium — 95 at Miami in 2009, 143 in the Orange Bowl and 134 in this one.

“It’s frustrating every time

you lose,” said Georgia Tech quarterback Tevin Washington, who threw for 63 yards and ran for 36 more — a teambest.

Washington threw right to Nicholas on the Yellow Jackets’ first offensive snap of the game, a mistake that set Miami up at the Georgia Tech 46. It was doubly costly for the Yellow Jackets, with center Jay Finch going down with what appeared to be a knee injury.

Clemson’s surge began with quarterback Tajh Boyd’s 1-yard scoring run. North Carolina’s Charles Brown fumbled the kickoff return and the Tigers scored 9 second later to move in front 38-17.

T.J. Thorpe gave the Tar Heels some hope with a 100yard kickoff return moments later — it was the school’s second touchdown return that long. But that’s as close as the Tar Heels would get.

Sammy Watkins added a 42yard TD catch and tight end Dwayne Allen had a 9-yard

scoring grab on Clemson’s next two series.

The quarter ended when Bryn Renner was sacked and fumbled, Clemson defensive end Kourtnei Brown scooping it up for his second touchdown of the game.

“We were really taken aback” by the quarter, Thorpe said.

The Tigers again put on an offensive display with 450 yards as Boyd matched Cullen Harper’s 2007 mark with five touchdown passes. Brown’s game was a reminder of the great 1981 defense.

UK: Win helps erase Wildcats’ errors CONTINUED FROM 8A

ing just 229 yards per game.

Some areas of the team’s game did not improve, Phillips said. Kentucky still had two turnovers, gave up a 99yard kickoff return touchdown early in the fourth quarter and the wide receivers had a few drops.

But Phillips was not about to complain.

“I mean, we were trying to

play this as the second season,” Phillips said. “We had two seasons; we were 2-4 in the first season, and we got to take one game at a time in this second season. We’re 1-0. We’ve got to go to work tomorrow. We’ve got to get to 2-0.”

Kentucky struggled to move the ball on the Gamecocks in the first quarter. The Wildcats’ first three possessions saw just one first down and ended with two punts and a lost fumble.

Don’t forget about giving fall fishing a little time Hunting seasons are opening one right after the other, with the most recent being rabbit season which opened on Oct. 15 and runs through Feb. 28 in Mississippi.

The Tennessee rabbit season opens on Nov. 5 and goes through Feb. 29.

Nonetheless, there’s another popular sport that should not be put on hold until next spring. Autumn is a great time to be a fisherman, especially if you like fishing for crappie and bass.

When you catch one out of a spot, you’re bound to catch another. These highly sought after fish tend to run in schools and go on a feeding rampage before the bitterness of winter

sets in. And usually the size of the fish caught out of a location will mirror the David next.

Green The same baits and Columnist tactics used this time of year will work for the most part regardless of whether the place being fished is a small lake or a large reservoir. The main thing is locating the fish.

Remember where you had a productive outing last spring? Maybe it was a shallow bay, rip- rap on the edge of deeper water, certain points or the

“Admittedly, I don’t fish as much in the fall as I once did, but last year on the day before the opening of the first modern gun season for deer, another fellow and I went to Pickwick and caught several nice bass and crappies.”

David Green Outdoors columnist mouth of a cove. You can count on these fish to be in the same general locations as the weather cools and the baitfish move inward.

In fishing for bass during the fall of the year, I wouldn’t go to the lake without taking along some crank-baits, spinner-baits,

and top-water lures. Others will produce at a given time, but I would put my money on these three any day of the week.

Though I rarely tie one on during the summer months, a medium depth running crank-bait is my number one choice, pref-

erably a mostly white or shad colored Bandit bait.

That’s not to say more shallow running baits won’t trigger strikes when bass are feeding on baitfish on or near the water’s surface.

Admittedly, I don’t fish as much in the fall as I once did, but last year on the day before the opening of the first modern gun season for deer, another fellow and I went to Pickwick and caught several nice bass and crappies.

The bass were caught off of points with the crankbaits I just mentioned and the crappies were caught from around semi-shallow structures, mainly boathouses or something similar.

All of the crappie except for one was black crappie and none weighed less than one-and-a-quarter pounds. Pickwick’s population of black crappie is at its highest point ever, and for some reason or another they love to stack up against boathouses and other similar shallow water structures.

Want to get away from it all or take a break from hunting, then think about giving fall fishing a try.

The lakes are less crowded, plus the odds are good you’ll have a productive outing.

UPHAM, N.M. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Few people know British billionaire Richard Branson better than his mother.

After all, some say she instilled in him much of his resourcefulness and thirst for adventure.

From flying around the world in a balloon to swimming with sharks, the 87-year-old Eve Branson says her baby â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as she calls him â&#x20AC;&#x201D; has been in plenty of difficult and dangerous situations. All of his adventures have turned out fine, and she expects it will be no different with his efforts to get paying customers to the edge of the Earth on his Virgin Galactic spaceline. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything he does is usually done pretty thoroughly,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He tries very hard, my little baby.â&#x20AC;?

Eve Branson acknowledges that her family is anxious to see the day when the first mothership and rocket take off from Virgin Galacticâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s remote desert base at Spaceport America in southern New Mexico. But this adventure goes way beyond Richard Branson and his usual stuntman antics.

The aim, the daring businessman says, is to one day make traveling to space safe and affordable for the masses, not just those who can afford a $200,000 ticket.

While some might think the venture is dangerous, the thoroughness Bransonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother brags about has left hundreds of prospective space tourists with no second thoughts about flying with Virgin Galactic. More than 450 people from 46 different countries have already plunked down deposits.

The futuristic Spaceport America and the nearly 2-mile concrete runway are complete, and the spacecraft being developed for Virgin Galactic are done. All thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lacking are more rocket tests and powered test flights.

Branson said in an interview following Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dedication ceremony at Spaceport America that he expects enough tests to be done by Christmas 2012 so commercial flights can begin soon after. He and his children plan to be among the first to fly.

The hard part is waiting.

But Branson didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t waste an opportunity during his visit to share his excitement with some 150 space tourists. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Are you all pinching yourselves? Because I know I am,â&#x20AC;? he told them while inside the spacious hangar.

Sonja Rohde of Hagen, Germany, was among those listening. She was one of the first 100 people to sign up after bumping into Branson while on safari in Africa and learning about his plan.

Rohde, who is in her early 30s, had dreamed of becoming an astronaut when she was young. The more practical desires of her parents won out, but she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give up the dream of one day making it to space. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I saw a documentary that said space travel would be possible for private individuals from 2050 on. I said â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;OK, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll do it even as a toothless grandmother, but I will do it,â&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; she said.

She met Branson in 2005, as he and New Mexico officials were negotiating details of the spaceport venture. It was then she realized that becoming the first German woman to reach space

could happen a lot sooner.

Rohde said it was a magical moment â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the right time, the right place and a chance meeting with the right person.

Now, she says itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like waiting for Christmas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can hardly wait to finally take off,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Rohde has attended every milestone since Virgin Galactic began its venture. She has also done some weightlessness training and has grand vi-

sions of what it will be like when sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finally aboard SpaceShipTwo. G-forces pressing her into the seat. The sensation of traveling at four times the speed of sound.

The sky changing from light to dark blue to purple and then finally black. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it will fulfill everything I envision in a perfect space adventure because we will be able to see 1,000 miles in every direction,â&#x20AC;? she said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it will be overwhelming and breathtaking to see our fragile Earth from above, and I think it will provide a deeper appreciation, a deeper understanding of the Earth.â&#x20AC;?

The prospect of suborbital flights and someday traveling further into space also holds promise for New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez, who made her first visit to the spaceport for the dedication since taking office in January.

Old turns new, recycled a focus in trends of bridal wear Special to the Daily Corinthian

MISSISSIPPI STATE — It seems “something old” is really something new in bridal wear trends.

“This year’s wedding season is all about vintage and upcycled dresses,” said Phyllis Bell Miller, associate professor of human sciences at Mississippi State University.

Wearing vintage or remaking a preowned dress can be an affordable and earth-friendly option, but it comes with particular challenges.

“With a vintage dress, you really have to be concerned about quality,” Miller said. “The fabric or the thread could be rotting away, and stains that have set for decades won’t always lift. You need an expert to examine the garment before you commit. Consult a dry cleaner or a costume curator at your local university. If possible, find out the history of the garment. How was it stored? Could moths and beetles get to it? No matter what and particularly if you’re Internet shopping, make sure you can return the dress if it doesn’t work.”

Miller suggested considering synthetic fabrics when buying vintage.

“Polyesters and nylons are strong, but silk, cotton and rayon weaken with age,” Miller said.

“A good test is to tug at the lining near a seam.

If the fabric rips or appears to be separating,

you know that it’s not very strong.”

But the way that the fabric handles stitching should also be considered, according to Amelia Williams of Starkville, who began sewing as a first grader in 4-H and occasionally remakes secondhand wedding dresses.

“Polyester, silk and rayon hold holes from previous sewings, so you have to consider whether you can cover or cut off those holes,” she said.

Miller said, “No m a t t e r what is added or cut away, the finished product must look professional. There are so many shades of white, cream and black.

When you match material, compare the dress to the new material under daylight; artificial light usually cannot pick up the nuances in color.”

According to Miller, dress from the 1940s and 1950s will be popular with brides.

“Dresses from the 40s are cut closer to the body for more of a slinky, movie siren look.

Clothes were pared down in the war years because of rations and because of practicality.

Many women worked in factories, so they were too busy for fussy clothes,” she said. “But there began to be amazing detail in things such

as collars and pockets.

In 1947, as the men returned home and the women became homemakers, what became known as ‘the new look’ was introduced -- bouffant skirts and a more feminine figure.”

Just as fashion reveals something about the social attitudes of its era, a wedding dress reveals something about the bride’s personal attitudes.

“You can tell if the bride is romantic or practical based on the dress she chooses,” said Miller.

As for upcycling -- or making a new garment from recycled bits of old garments -- Miller and Williams agree that the options are infinite.

“You can start with a corset -- vintage or new -- a slip, or a simple shift,” said Miller. “Add a skirt and sleeves, replace the straps with ribbon or lace, add beads, tucks, appliqués, sashes . . . have a lot of fun with it.”

For her upcycled bridal pieces, Williams buys used wedding dresses at thrift stores or asks friends to donate old dresses. She cuts the dresses apart and remakes them as totally unique pieces.

Eventually she hopes to have enough upcycled dresses to start a business.

You can tell if the bride is romantic or practical based on the dress she chooses.

“I look for specific lace or other useful bits,” she said. “I particularly like large dresses because they give me more material to work with. A dress may end up four sizes smaller.”

Williams grew up watching her seamstress mother make wedding gowns. “One day I thought, if you can’t afford to start from scratch, why not pay $30 for an old wedding dress and make it yourself?”

Miller emphasized that every outfit should have a focal point.

“Stand in front of the mirror, close your eyes, open them and see where they go first.

If that’s not where you want your focal point to be, redesign a bit. And don’t forget that repetition is an element of good design. If you introduce a second color, it needs to appear at least twice.”

According to Miller, the trend of wearing a wedding dress more than once is also making a comeback.

“In the 1800s, women wore their wedding dresses for every fancy occasion for at least a year,” she said. “So if you’re doing all of this beautiful work on a gown, I would encourage you to keep wearing it. Maybe add a little pink or green accent somewhere, so that it looks less like a wedding dress, but don’t let a gorgeous piece hang in a closet.”

Miss Lisa Nicole Wooten and Mr. Christopher Dale Spencer will exchange wedding vows at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 29, 2011 at Burnsville Church of Christ.

The bride-elect is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Keith Wooten of Glen.

She is the granddaughter of Mr. and Mrs. David Willis of Corinth and Mrs. Judy Bryant of Glen and the late Mr. and Mrs. Earl and Lorene Wooten of Corinth.

The prospective bridegroom is the son of Mr. Roger Spencer of Kossuth and Mrs. Donna Pettigrew of Corinth. He

is the grandson of Mrs. Frances Jones and the late Mr. Joseph (Pete) Jones of Kossuth and Mrs. Peggy Wooten and the late Daniel Spencer of Kossuth.

Miss Wooten is a 2003 graduate of Alcorn Central High School. She is presently employed at Briggs, Inc. Mr. Spencer is a 1999 graduate of Kossuth High School. He is presently employed at W & S Construction.

All friends and relatives of the couple are invited to attend the ceremony and the reception which follows.

Stock kitchen to save bucks

BY MAE ANDERSON AP Retail Writer

NEW YORK (AP) — A well-stocked kitchen can be a real money saver.

Having the right pots and pans and pantry basics can save you loads in the long run because you can cook more meals at home and spend less eating out.

But how do you find the right pans without spending a fortune in the short run? And how do you know what to keep in your pantry that you will actually use?

Here are some tricks and tips.

Pots and Pans It’s tempting to buy pots and pans on the cheap, but experts say that will cost you more in the end because cheaply made cookware doesn’t last — and won’t cook things quickly or evenly — and you’ll end up buying more cookware sooner. Fortunately, there’s a bevy of ways to save on quality cookware.

First, figure out exactly what you need. Check out online guides and tutorials from retailers like Macy’s and Bed Bath & Beyond. Most experts recommend owning one saute pan, a saucepan, a Dutch oven and a stockpot. But what you need depends how much and what you cook.

Next, scout off-price websites like Overstock. com and brick-andmortar discounters like Marshall’s and T.J. Maxx, which often have abundant cookware.

Jeff Contray, managing editor of dealnews.com, also suggests checking clearance sales and the outlet stores of high-end department store chains like Nordstrom, Macy’s or Bloomingdale’s.

If you’re lucky, you may find good cookware at thrift stores, yard sales or online auction sites like eBay. But make sure the items are good quality (Calphalon, AllClad and Le Creuset are among many high-quality brands that last for decades). And don’t buy

anything that’s damaged or overused.

Well-stocked pantry Once you have the right cookware, you can spend very little to create delicious meals, if you have a carefully stocked pantry.

The trick is to know what you actually will use and what you won’t — and then to remember what you’ve stowed away.

Some pantry basics are obvious: For quick dinners, keep pasta, couscous, rice and other grains — all very inexpensive — on hand for a foundation.

Beans are also inexpensive and work in a wide variety of cuisines. Chicken, beef or vegetable stock — which can be stored for a year or more in a can or aseptic box — is the key ingredient in numerous sauces and soups. Bear in mind that frozen vegetables can be cheaper than fresh and keep longer.

Learning a few simple recipes can help stretch the items in your pantry.

Tomato sauce for pasta is one of the simplest, and it can be made tasty with a few additions like onions, garlic and herbs like oregano or basil. Another classic: rice and beans, which costs just pennies if you are stocked up and can be made in the styles of Mexican, Spanish, Italian or many Asian cuisines.

Simple soups can be time- and money-savers.

Nothing beats homemade chicken noodle soup for comfort food, and all you need is broth, pasta and a small amount of chicken.

Branch out to black bean or broccoli soup, both remarkably easy. All three can be whipped up in a few minutes once you’re stocked up, and they’ll make even the most kitchen-phobic person look like a gourmet chef.

Online checklists, like this one at Real Simple, http://bit.ly/chNl4y, can help guide your decisions.

Buy in bulk at grocery stores, fruit and vegetable stands, farmers markets and warehouse clubs, and be vigilant about coupons.

5 great ‘Sesame Street’ celebrity appearances

BY CHRISTY LEMIRE AP Movie Critic

LOS ANGELES — The documentary “Being Elmo: A Puppeteer’s Journey” opens this week, about every toddler’s favorite red monster and the man who brings him to life, Kevin Clash.

One of the joys of watching Clash in action — besides marveling at how effortless he makes it all look — is seeing how seamlessly he relates to both children and adults.

And the segments he does with celebrities, as Elmo learns a lesson or explains a new word, are among his best. So here’s a look at five of the greatest celebrity appearances over the four-plus decades “Sesame Street” has been on air. As the mother of a 2-year-old son, compiling this week’s list was one of

the most enjoyable yet.

— Stevie Wonder performs “Superstition” (1973): This sort of thing doesn’t happen on “Sesame Street” anymore.

Sure, they have plenty of top artists perform all the time. But this is young Wonder at his thrilling best, singing one of his most enduring songs with a full band behind him, and the energy is just incredible. Check out the little kids playing maracas on the stairs and rocking out on the fire escapes. Plus, the clip is nearly 7 minutes long — which would be unheard of today on any type of TV show — and it even features a shout-out to Cookie Monster. (http://www. youtube.com/watch?v— ul7X5js1vE ) — Ricky Gervais sings a lullaby to Elmo (2009):

A great example of how Clash skillfully straddles the line between appealing to kids through Elmo’s innate sweetness and making adults laugh with more knowing, playful humor. When Elmo’s having trouble falling asleep at night, Gervais shows up with a guitar to sing him a lullaby about the letter N. The song starts out with harmless words like nice, nuzzle and nightcap, but it eventually gets noisy as Gervais cranks it up for the chorus. He is, as always, hilarious. But also be sure to notice the variety of expressions Clash coaxes out of Elmo’s furry, red noggin. (http:// www.youtube.com/ watch?vJc20vMz0V7Q ). Also check out a clip from the interview The Associated Press did

with Gervais and Elmo during that shoot. It’s hysterical: (http:// www.youtube.com/ watch?vKr9—5uZn6ds ).

— Lena Horne sings “Bein’ Green” with Kermit the Frog (1974): This clip is so lovely, so delicate and yet so powerful, it makes me want to cry every time. It’s a classic “Sesame Street” song with its poignant message of self-acceptance. But here, Horne sympathizes with Kermit, who looks so lonely and forlorn at the beginning of the song in Jim Henson’s masterful hands. By the end, he’s singing along with her, having taking the lyrics to heart: “It’s beautiful, and I think it’s what I want to be.” Horne made several appearances on “Sesame Street,” and this performance exemplifies her

beauty and grace. (http:// www.youtube.com/ watch?vmPvZR6DTbq8 ).

— Johnny Cash sings “Nasty Dan” to Oscar the Grouch (1974): Can you imagine a more perfect collaboration than this?

With a knock of his black guitar on Oscar’s rusty, dented trash can, Cash sings a song that’s music to the grouch’s ears. Oscar is transfixed by such lyrics as: “He’d growl and yell and I heard tell he never took a bath.”

At the end of the song, Cash deadpans, “Have a rotten day,” and he’s off with the same quiet cool he had when he arrived.

Cash showed up a few times on “Sesame Street” but this one stands out because it’s quirky and strangely sweet. (http:// www.youtube.com/ watch?vH75eQX006jA )

— Liev Schreiber and Naomi Watts explain the word “exchange” with Elmo (2011): This is a recent one — from the current season, actually — but it cracked me up so I had to include it. Schreiber, Watts and Elmo have various toys to trade with each other, but the running gag is that Schreiber keeps getting nudged out, and he becomes increasingly exasperated. It’s funny because Schreiber and Watts, who are a couple with kids in real life, are just so cute together — he’s 6 feet and 3 inches and she’s petite and they have this fuzzy, red puppet bopping around in between them — but also because these are serious actors doing a scene involving purple balls and stuffed ducks.

Biography sheds new light on Steve Jobs’ life

BY RACHEL METZ, BARBARA ORTUTAY AND JORDAN ROBERTSON AP Technology Writers

SAN FRANCISCO — Steve Jobs had a disdain for people who put profits first. In an upcoming authorized biography of the late Apple CEO, he calls the crop of executives brought in to run Apple after his ouster in 1985 “corrupt people” with “corrupt values” who cared only about making money.

Jobs was often bullied in school and stopped going to church at age 13, according to “Steve Jobs,”

by Walter Isaacson, which will be published Monday

by Simon & Schuster. The Associated Press purchased a copy Thursday.

Advance sales of the biography have topped bestseller lists since Jobs died Oct. 5 after a long battle with cancer at age 56.

As a teenager, Jobs exhibited some odd behaviors — he began to try various diets, eating just fruits and vegetables for a time, and perfected staring at others without blinking.

Later, on the naming of Apple, Jobs told Isaacson he was “on one of my fruitarian diets.”

He’d just come back from an apple farm, and he thought the name sounded “fun, spirited and not intimidating.”

Much of the book adds detail to what’s already known, or at least speculated, about Jobs. While Isaacson is not the first

to tell Jobs’ story, he had unprecedented access to the man who fiercely guarded his own, as well as his company’s, privacy. Isaacson interviewed Jobs more than 40 times, including just a few weeks before his death. As a result, the book does for Steve Jobs’ legacy what Apple did for portable music players, personal computers and tablets — puts it in the hands of regular folks, not just the tech geeks who already live and breathe allthings-Apple.

Jobs reveals in the book that he didn’t want to go to college, and the only school he applied to was costly private college Reed in Portland, Ore. Once accepted, his par-

Horoscopes Sunday, October 23

BY HOLIDAY MATHIS Creators Syndicate

The sun moves into Scorpio, a transit as exciting as the opening credits of a much-anticipated movie. Everyone is wondering how the plot will unfold, especially since there are very few clues.

The old scenery looks brand-new, and we’re still trying to figure out how to navigate it. Trust yourself.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Many people arrive late to the scene, and few get there early. You’ll organize things so that you have time to relax and settle into your environment. You’ll feel centered and ready to take advantage of an opportunity.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It may feel like your energy is pushing against every situation in the early part of the day -- like you’re running toward the wind. Turn around. With the wind at your back, you’ll feel free.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You no longer are content to see things as you wish they were. You want to know the reality of the situation. You want clarity because you know it will give you power.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You appreciate what others take for granted: the ballet of smooth traffic, the symphonic sound of running water, the smell of apples. Noticing the small miracles will help you believe that bigger ones are possible.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). What you’ve done and seen before holds no interest. You want to mix things up, though there are always risks involved. These risks are worth taking.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Someone quietly will return a nod in passing or send the digital equivalent of

that gesture on the Internet. There’s a kinship there worth pursuing.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You know what you want to get into, so start today. There are consequences if you don’t, the worst of which is that a month from now you will look back and wish you had.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The way you present your past will make an impression. Be careful to stay in a complimentary mode when you speak of your family and friends because anything less could be considered a betrayal.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It is said that the proof of the pudding is in the eating. A pretty picture may not be as sweet as it appears. Even so, you might like it better this way.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

You’ll leave your mark in some way that people 100 years from now will notice. Perhaps they won’t attribute the experience to you by name, but they will appreciate your contribution.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll get the same message in three different ways. If that’s not a sign of what you should do next, what is? Trust that there is magic in the world.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You don’t take yourself too seriously, and others find this charming. It is a gift to be comfortable in your skin, and you cultivate an atmosphere in which others can relax.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 23).

You’ll bring your abundant energy into a relationship and will be received enthusiastically. For a while, you’ll feel completely taken care of without pressure to come up with solutions yourself. While you enjoy this state, the new year brings exciting new challenges.

Aries and Leo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 10, 5, 22 and 18.

Cryptoquip

ents tried to talk him out of attending Reed, but he told them he wouldn’t go to college at all if they didn’t let him go there.

Though he ended up attending, Jobs dropped out of the school after less than a year and never went back.

His pre-Apple job as a technician at Atari paid $5 per hour. He saw a classified ad in the San Jose Mercury News, went to visit the company and informed them he wouldn’t leave unless they hired him.

Jobs, who spent years studying Zen Buddhism never went back to church after he saw a photo of starving children on the cover of Life Magazine and asked his Sunday school

pastor if God knew what would happen to them. He was 13 at the time.

Jobs’ eye for simple, clean design was evident from early on. The case of the Apple II computer had originally included a Plexiglas cover, metal straps and a roll-top door.

Jobs, though, wanted something elegant that would make Apple stand out. He told Isaacson he was struck by Cuisinart food processors while browsing at a department store and decided he wanted a case made of molded plastic.

He called Jonathan Ive, Apple’s design chief, his “spiritual partner” at Apple. He told Isaacson Ive had “more operation power” at Apple than any-

one besides Jobs himself — that there’s no one at the company who can tell Ive what to do. That, says Jobs, is “the way I set it up.”

Jobs was never a typical CEO. Apple’s first president, Mike Scott, was hired mainly to manage Jobs, then 22. One of his first projects: getting Jobs to bathe more often. It didn’t really work.

Jobs’ dabbling in LSD and other aspects of 1960s counterculture has been well documented. In the book, Jobs says LSD “reinforced my sense of what was important — creating great things instead of making money, putting things back into the stream of history and of human consciousness as much as I could.”

Kelsey Grammer plays Chicago mayor in ‘Boss’

BY DON BABWIN Associated Press

CHICAGO — Kelsey Grammer makes it clear from the start: He’s not playing Mayor Richard M. Daley in the new dramatic series “Boss” that made its debut Friday night.

Sure, his mayor of Chicago talks about being in charge for 22 years — the exact time Daley spent

in office. For both men the job is also the family business, with Grammer’s Tom Kane following his father-in-law and Daley his father. And if Grammer’s character really wanted a disguise that nobody would have recognized, he would have put on a Cubs hat and not one bearing the logo of Daley’s beloved White Sox.

“We were writing a show that is a derivative of Shakespeare (and) he’s got 400 years on the Daleys,” Grammer said this summer during filming in Chicago for the Starz drama (9 p.m. Central).

Grammer told Daley as much, when the two met and he “tried to reassure him that we had absolutely no intention of taking pot shots at him and his father.” And it is certainly true there is nothing about Kane’s mannerisms, eloquent manner of speaking or look that even hint at Da Mayor.

At the same time, Daley and the hardball political world in which he grew up and then came to dominate are such an integral part of this story that Shakespeare’s “Richard II” would have worked as a title instead of “Boss,” which, just happens to be the name of the late

Chicago columnist Mike Royko’s famous biography of Daley’s father.

Viewers around the country may not know the ins and outs of Chicago politics, but they understand this is a city where power, clout as they call it around here, is held in the hands of a few, from the days when Al Capone ran his bootlegging empire here with the help of judges and politicians he kept in his pocket to the better part of the last half century when the mayor’s last name was always Daley.

Tom Kane’s power is helped, for example, by the stories, legends, really, of how Daley’s father had enough clout (not to mention the dead people he supposedly got to the polls) to put John Kennedy in the White House in 1960 and prompt Robert F. Kennedy eight years later to say the endorse-

ment of Daley, a mayor of a single city in the middle of the country “means the ballgame” to his own chances at the presidency.

It is the same with the son who, though not the national force as his father, could flex his own political muscles, as he did when he got tired of talking about turning a lakefront airport into a nature preserve and simply dispatched bulldozers in the dead of night to carve huge Xs into the runway.

Even former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, who is about to be sentenced for trying to sell or trade President Barack Obama’s old Senate seat, helps tell the story.

“The conceit of ours is to think of politics as cleaner now,” said Farhad Safinia, the show’s creator and executive producer.

“Chicago shows it isn’t.”

“There’s such a colorful backdrop to tell this story that just exists in Chicago, so the city itself becomes kind of a character,” agreed Grammer. “We’re borrowing Chicago as a kind of magic kingdom (in which)

you can believe is full of intrigue, betrayal, plot twists, secret documents and all kinds of things.”

Chicago’s history, both that of recent years and the distant past, are all thrown into the story.

Grammer’s character Tom Kane, for example, in talking about digging up a cemetery to accommodate the expansion of O’Hare International Airport — a real event — brings up Abraham Lincoln and the Underground Railroad.

Kane talks about how the city was built, telling of figures such as the Rev. Jeremiah Porter, one of the city’s first reformers in the 1800s and Anton Cermak, a mayor in the 1930s.

“We have something occurring at night with bulldozers (after) an edict from the mayor,” said Safinia, who would not elaborate.

“I keep finding stuff like the Xs in the runway.”

The filmmakers use many parts of the city, from the most violent and struggling neighborhoods to the sparkling lakefront and the jewel of that lakefront, Millennium Park.

Lost

Stolen Glock model 23.40 cal pistol Engraved with Ms Highway Patrol on sides Serial number MSHP0286 If you took this gun I want you to know I forgive you.

There must have been a reason for your actions and I would ask that you return it and I will hold no ill feelings.

I would like to share with you that; for me not to forgive is not in my life now. I would love to introduce you to Jesus Christ that has given me that heart. That gun holds sentimental value for me; as it represents a career as a Trooper. I would have loved to have given it to my son on my death. It is far more important to me; as it might be a way for you to know a loving and forgiving Savior that lives inside of me. Return it if you will and let me introduce you to him. Keep it if you must and I will pray for you daily!!!!

13445 Rady R d iis tturning i 90 on O October t b 28 28,2011.

2011 Th Thiis is i a huge deal in anyone’s family. We just wanted to share this great news with everyone. Rady is married to the love of his life, Margaret Mitchell Bradley. They have been married for over 60 years. It’s easy to see that when he looks at his wife you can see a twinkle in his eyes, and that it is for her alone.

Together, Rady and Margaret have 6 children Charlotte, Randy, Tim, Sarah, Ralph and Shane. They have 14 grandchildren ages range from 35 years old to 2 years old.

They also have 13 great grandchildren ages range from 16 years old to almost 2 years old. 1 asked the grandchildren what they admired the most about their Paw. The most common answer was his calm and loving nature.

They also appreciate that they can talk to him when they can’t talk to anyone else. When they talk to him, it always makes them feel better. The youngest grandchildren love the fact that he always has candy for them.

Rady has done a number of things in his life. He fought in World War II, owned a gas station, and owned a feed store. He and Margaret also owned a restaurant on Wick Street. They are the cheapest babysitters you will ever find. With all he has done in his life, his children and grandchildren will tell you that their Paw loves his family more then anything else in the world. He is a proud member of Gaines Chapel Methodist Church. One of my personal favorite quotes that you will here him say is, “I am a very rich man in every way that counts, my family.” Rady, we are the rich ones because we have you in our lives.

We love you, th The Bradley Family
