The city of Corinth is plan-ning to revitalize a prime spot in the industrial park with hope of bringing new jobs to the city.
The city-owned Wurlitzer property is the focus of the plan, which would include removal of the industrial building. Offi cials believe removing the dilapidated
industrial building will improve the marketability of the site.
“The Wurlitzer property is probably some of the best in-dustrial property that I have seen in Corinth,” said Mayor Tommy Irwin.
About six months ago, he met
with FCA, which occupied the Wurlitzer building, to discuss the possibility of FCA moving to the Gateway building. A manufac-turer of wooden containers with Caterpillar as its largest customer, FCA agreed to make the move.
The building formerly occu-
pied by the Gateway Corporation “was a great facility that was not being used,” said Irwin, “and it’s been a great match for the own-ers of Gateway, us and FCA.”
He said the cleaned up Wurlitzer site will serve as “skin in the game” to help the city at-
tract industry.Environmental assessments
of the property will be forth-coming, and the building would then be torn down. The city is looking at a brownfi eld grant to assist with the environmental process, but Irwin said the city can handle the other costs.
A local homemakers’ group will honor one of its original members during a banquet on Wednesday.
Lucille King — a charter member of the Corinth Town and Country Homemakers Club — will receive awards for her years of dedication to the group at an awards luncheon begin-ning at 11:30 a.m.
“She’s a very devoted club member and always has been,” said Joan Birks, the club’s trea-surer and secretary. “She does what she can to help and pro-mote the club — and she’s a very good cook.”
She will be awarded the 50
A new medium combined with a sharp wit and a touch of Southern charm have helped a Prentiss County native take a big bite out of the Big Apple’s publishing world with the pub-lication of her debut novel.
Stephanie McAfee’s “Diary of a Mad Fat Girl” quickly became a bestseller when she self-pub-lished it as an electronic book on Christmas Day 2010. By March of 2011, the book had landed on the New York Times Best-seller list for print and e-book fi ction and remained there for two weeks. It held on for three months on the bestseller list for e-book fi ction and was soon picked up by major publishing house Penguin Group.
McAfee said it’s been a whirl-wind since she took the leap of faith and published the novel online and she’s been over-

With the hope of preserva-tion now past, a portion of the Corinth Machinery building was taken down for safety rea-sons Saturday morning.
Its profi le, visible for many years from various points downtown, is now mostly gone.
“There was so much collateral damage when the straight-line wind came in that there’s just no salvaging it,” said co-owner Trey Albright.
The storm that brought se-vere winds in the early morning of Jan. 21 caused a large portion of the building to collapse. It suffered another collapse later in the week during heavy rains.
“Another big section of the roof and side wall fell in,” he said.
A track hoe was used early Saturday to take much of the building, including the front area where collapse appeared imminent, down to the fi rst fl oor level. The back wall re-mains standing for now.
It took only a gentle nudge from the heavy equipment to bring down the area that ap-peared most vulnerable.
At this point, Albright said safety is the foremost concern.

January is National GLAUCOMA Awareness Month Glaucoma is called "the sneak thief of sight" since there are no symptoms and once vision is lost, it's permanent. Vision loss begins with peripheral or side vision, so if you have glaucoma, you may not notice anything until significant vision is lost. The best way to protect your sight from glaucoma is to get a comprehensive eye examination. Then, if you have glaucoma, treatment is available to save your vision. Glaucoma can be hereditary. So if members of your family have glaucoma, you are at a much higher risk than the rest of the population. --- To schedule an appointment for you or your loved one please call, (662) 286-6068.

Work begins to remove portions of the historic Corinth Machinery building at about 6:45 a.m. Saturday, left. Most of the building was taken down to the ground floor level by about 8 a.m, right.

The building has attracted numerous sightseers and people trying to get bricks, and it’s simply not safe for
people to approach the building, he said.
The owner has asked the police department to keep a close watch on the property.
The Mississippi Depart-ment of Archives and His-tory gave verbal approval for the owners to take steps to get the building safe and instructed Albright to send
a written request for the preservation easement to be lifted from the property.
Although the fate of the building now appears cer-tain, Albright is not sure
when the rest of it will come down.
“It’s a sad day. I’m not enjoying this at all,” he said.
Albright purchased the South Tate Street prop-
erty with co-owner Justin Shelton of Columbus with the hope of improving it. The neighboring woolen mill building is used for their export business.
whelmed by the response. She’ll celebrate the offi cial publication of the newly revised print version of the novel with a book launch party at Reed’s Gum Tree bookstore in Tupelo from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 7.
The novel, a fast-paced, humor-fi lled mystery centered on the small town of Bugtussle, Miss., was brewing in McAfee’s mind for a decade before she took the leap and fo-cused on writing it.
The author is a 1992 graduate of Booneville High School and went
on to earn degrees from Northeast Mississippi Community College, the University of Mississippi and the University of Ala-bama. She taught in Pren-tiss County for 5 years be-fore moving to Colorado Springs, Colo., in 2007 when her husband was stationed there with the U.S. Army.
In 2010 she decided to turn her focus to writing the novel she had been dreaming of for many years and over the course of the year, her heroine, Graciela “Ace” Jones came to life. A feisty high school teacher who fi nds herself caught up in a
tangle of small town mys-teries and scandals, Jones will be familiar to anyone who has spent time in a small Southern town.
The small-town native and former high school teacher said while the book is not autobiograph-ical, there is a lot of her in the character.
“I certainly know about being a fat girl,” she said.
Her goal was to create a character that every-one could fi nd common ground with.
“Everybody says you should write what you know. I wanted it to be a character that’s really re-latable,” she said.
While the characters and setting of the novel may be familiar, McAfee’s path to success has been anything but traditional. McAfee self-published the original version of the book through Amazon’s Kindle Direct service, which allows indepen-dent authors to offer their books for sale through Amazon in an electronic form for use on e-readers and other devices.
The book sold 2,000 copies in January 2011, and McAfee then listed it on Barnes & Noble’s site and others. In March it made the New York Times bestseller listing,
and McAfee’s life began to change.
“That’s when it really just took off,” she said.
She had shopped the novel around to tradi-tional agents and publish-ers with little success, but the e-book format gave her an opportunity to get it out to the public in an inexpensive and easy to use manner and build up buzz that helped lead to the new revised edition making its debut in tradi-tional book format.
McAfee said technology has helped break down barriers for authors.
“It makes it so much easier to get your work
out there,” she said.The former Prentiss
Countian, who now makes her home in Florida, is ex-cited about coming home for the launch of her new novel. She was given a choice about where to start her book tour and hold the launch party for the book, and there was no question in her mind what she wanted to do.
“I need to start it where home is, with all my friends and family,” she said.

Alliance President Gary Chandler believes the plan will be good for mar-keting the site.
“The building as it stands now, in my opin-ion, is not very mar-ketable,” he said. “The mayor’s plan to tear the building down and mar-ket it as a site is the way we need to go.”
With environmental stud-ies involved, he noted it will
not be an overnight process.Irwin estimated 700 to
800 worked at Wurlitzer during its peak. Known for organs, electronic pianos and jukeboxes, the Ru-dolph Wurlitzer Company entered an agreement with Corinth in 1955 to come to the city. The agreement entailed a bond issue and the city improving the land and constructing a factory building of about 100,000 square feet.
The Gateway property
has been an industrial site since 1950.
“I’m delighted that a great woodworking busi-ness with the great repu-tation that FCA has is able to continue using the property for its intended use,” said building owner Clayton Stanley.
Alcorn County Board of Supervisors President Low-ell Hinton said the county supports the city’s effort to redevelop the property.
Ward 1 Alderman An-
drew Labas said the city has begun taking applications and qualifying statements from engineers for the envi-ronmental assessment.
“I feel like it’s a great in-dustrial site. However, the current condition is not re-ally marketable,” he said.
Alderman at Large Mike Hopkins said he also supports the plan.
“I do think that when we get it ready it will be an asset for recruiting new industry,” he said.

King, an 84-year-old Corinth resident, is the only surviving original member of the Town and Country Homemakers Club, part of the MSU Ex-
tension Service. The club was founded in Septem-ber 1962.
“We still exist today — but we’re getting kind of gray around the tem-ples,” said Birks.
Upon its founding, the Homemakers Club spe-cialized in homemakers’ skills such as cooking and canning. The club has sponsored activities which share its skills at past county fairs and continues to stay active with a vari-
ety of functions, including sewing pillows for a chil-dren’s home in Jackson. The Homemakers also maintain the garden at the intersection of Old U.S. Highway 45 and U.S. 72.
The Town and Country Homemakers Club holds an annual awards ban-quet. The 2012 banquet will honor King and cel-ebrate its fi rst 50 years in existence.
The banquet will be held at the MSU Ex-
tension Service behind Crossroads Arena. All past members are invited to attend.
Women interested in joining the club should contact Birks for more in-formation.
“New members are al-ways welcome,” Birks said. “All ages are always welcome.”

You know politicians are serious when they move from campaigning to governing. Some-thing like that may be happening on the Re-publican campaign trail — but, unfortunate-ly, not at the Obama White House.
Campaigning clearly carried the day for Newt Gingrich in South Carolina, where he beat Mitt Romney. It’s generally agreed that Gingrich clinched the race when he reacted angrily to questions by Fox News’ Juan Wil-liams and CNN’s John King.
Both times Gingrich got standing ovations. But not for how he’d govern. His platform can be summed up in a bumper sticker a Wash-ington lawyer printed to buck up George H.W. Bush’s hapless 1992 campaign: “Annoy the media — vote for Bush.”
South Carolina Republicans got a charge out of imagining how Gingrich would rebuke Barack Obama in the Lincoln-Douglas de-bates he’s been proposing. Except of course Obama would never agree to that format.
In the Monday debate at Tampa, Fla., Rom-ney came back hard at Gingrich, saying that he had been ousted as speaker by his own party and that he had to resign “in disgrace.”
What’s important here is that Romney went after Gingrich for the way he governed. Gingrich cites, with a little exaggeration, sig-nifi cant things he achieved as speaker — wel-fare reform, holding spending down, tax cuts.
But his quibbling with Romney over the timeline of his ouster as speaker misses the point. Many former colleagues, including Rick Santorum in the last two debates, have criticized him as an erratic and unsteady leader. These conservatives are troubled by the way he governed.
And Gingrich was not helped by the inter-changes on his work for Freddie Mac, which along with Fannie Mae was heavily respon-sible for creating the housing bubble that dragged down the economy when it burst, or by the way he defended his advocacy of the Medicare prescription drug program.
Romney’s critics have hit the former gover-nor for not doing much to advance the con-servative cause. They have something of a point. But Romney was able to cite a conser-vative fi scal record in Massachusetts despite an 85 percent Democratic legislature.
And he might have pointed out that, if he is elected president, he will likely govern with a Republican Senate and Republican House.
Romney is now burdened with an econom-ic platform that has rightly been called timid, with only small tax cuts. But the fi scal plans of other candidates are subject to attack as leading to enormous budget defi cits when scored by neutral arbiters.
Romney’s vaguer call for broadening the tax base and lowering tax rates is something that could actually happen. He hasn’t been specifi c, but neither was Ronald Reagan in the election leading up to the 1986 law. I think Romney is thinking seriously about governing. Barack Obama isn’t, and that’s one thing Republican candidates might want to bring up in the next debates. Obama re-jected the Bowles-Simpson recommenda-tions out of hand, and he seems untroubled that the Democratic-majority Senate hasn’t produced a budget in 1,000 days.
But this is a president who fl outs one law after another. He made recess appointments when the Senate was not in recess as required by the Constitution, and to one position when a law he signed requires Senate confi rmation for the appointee to act.
He vetoed the Keystone XL pipeline on en-vironmental grounds that the law says could not be considered. His policy on whether reli-gious organizations can require employees to share their beliefs was swatted down by a 9-0 vote of the Supreme Court.
What we see is a president in pure cam-paign mode and cavalier about the rule of law, with policies — higher taxes, environ-mental restrictions, more stimulus spending — poorly suited to current needs.
The Republican candidates are struggling fi ercely with each other. But a candidate who concentrates less on denunciation and more on governing could have an advantage in the fall over an incumbent who is doing more de-nouncing than governing himself.

Prayer for today
A verse to share
STARKVILLE — During his “State of the State” address, Gov. Phil Bryant un-veiled a merit pay plan for teachers, say-ing he would “recom-mend a ‘Pay for Per-formance’ program for our teachers based on student attain-ments and not on subjective evaluations. It is time we started paying for quality, not longevity.”
Merit pay is performance-related pay for teachers based on outcomes or based on the performance of their students – usually in the realm of standardized tests. Teachers and teacher unions have resisted merit pay both nationally and in Mississippi based on claims that there is little evidence that the incentives im-prove performance beyond “teaching to the test,” that administering such pro-grams are expensive, and that such programs pro-duce low teacher morale
While the topic is as po-litically sensitive as ever among the state’s teacher unions and for individual educators as well, the con-cept is gaining momentum
in the political arena from the top down. The U.S. government has long been in the performance pay ex-periment. The feds provided signifi cant funding for school systems to pilot pro-grams that offered incentive pay for
teachers. In 2010, the U.S. Depart-
ment of Education reported that 62 school districts and nonprofi t groups received $442 million in funding from the federal Teacher Incentive Fund.
State governments have also been in the perfor-mance or merit pay mix, along with individual school districts. In the past, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Minnesota, North Carolina and Texas have utilized varied performance pay programs either as pilot or regular programs in their public schools. Within the last year, Kentucky, Flor-ida, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Maine and Nevada state governments have debated similar plans.
That Bryant would em-brace merit pay for teach-ers is not surprising. When
Bryant was a freshman state representative from Rankin County in 1996, the Democratic leader-ship in state government -- House Speaker Tim Ford, Lt. Gov. Ronnie Musgrove and House Appropriations Committee chairman Rep. Charlie Capps -- had an am-bitious $52 million teacher pay hike plan on the agenda as the 1997 session took shape.
One of the mightiest voices opposing that plan was then-Gov. Kirk Fordice. Fordice was a proponent of merit pay for teachers, writ-ing in a 1997 veto message: “Philosophically, I do not believe that spending more money on public education will automatically result in higher student test scores. Even the most ardent pro-moters of increased educa-tion funding must admit that a district’s funding level is only one factor that infl uences the success of its students.”
Fordice was Phil Bryant’s Republican political godfa-ther. The merit pay concept is one that’s been a favorite of legislative conservatives for more than 20 years in Mississippi politics. Now,
Republicans control both houses of the Legislature and the Governor’s Man-sion. Bryant’s proposed education reforms line up with reforms proposed by other GOP governors across the country.
During the administra-tion of former Gov. Ronnie Musgrove, the Legislature passed a six-year phased, $336 million comprehen-sive teacher pay hike. The Legislature loosely linked performance of the school districts to that pay hike bill.
Back when Bryant was a freshman state legislator in the minority in the House, merit pay was little more than a throwaway line in Kirk Fordice’s veto mes-sages -- vetoes that were routinely and almost sum-marily overridden. But the legislative numbers, an ail-ing state budget and public sentiment fi nely attuned to accountability make merit pay an issue that may well get traction during the 2012 session.

Merit pay plan has long political pedigree
This may be the golden age of pre-sumptuous igno-rance. The most re-cent demonstrations of that are the Occupy Wall Street mobs. It is doubtful how many of these semi-literate sloganizers could tell the difference be-tween a stock and a bond.
Yet there they are, mouth-ing off about Wall Street on television, cheered on by politicians and the media. If this is not a golden age of presumptuous ignorance, perhaps it should be called a brass age.
No one has more brass than the president of the United States, though his brass may be more polished than that of the Occupy Wall Street mobs. When Barack Obama speaks loft-ily about “investing in the industries of the future,” does anyone ask: What in the world would qualify him to know what are the indus-tries of the future?
Why would people who have spent their careers in politics know more about investing than people who have spent their careers as investors?
Presumptuous ignorance is not confi ned to politicians or rowdy political activists, by any means. From time
to time, I get a huffy letter or e-mail from a reader who begins, “You obviously don’t know what you are talking about...”
The particular sub-ject may be one on which my research assistants and I have amassed piles of re-search material and
offi cial statistics. It may even be a subject on which I have written a few books, but somehow the presump-tuously ignorant just know that I didn’t really study that issue, because my con-clusions don’t agree with theirs or with what they have heard.
At one time I was foolish enough to try to reason with such people. But one of the best New Year’s resolutions I ever made, some years ago, was to stop trying to reason with unreasonable people. It has been good for my blood pressure and probably for my health in general.
A recent column that mentioned the “indirect subsidies” from the govern-ment to the Postal Service brought the presumptu-ously ignorant out in force, fi ghting mad.
Because the government does not directly subsidize the current operating ex-penses of the Postal Service,
that is supposed to show that the Postal Service pays its own way and costs the taxpayers nothing.
Politicians may be crooks but they are not fools. Eas-ily observed direct subsidies can create a political prob-lem. Far better to set up an arrangement that will al-low government-sponsored enterprises — whether the Postal Service, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or the Tennes-see Valley Authority — to operate in such a way that they can claim to be self-supporting and not costing the taxpayers anything, no matter how much indirect subsidy they get.
As just one example, the Postal Service has a multi-billion dollar line of credit at the U.S. Department of the Treasury. Hey, we could all use a few billions, every now and then, to get us over the rough spots. But we are not the Postal Service.
Theoretically, the Postal Service is going to pay it all back some day, and that theoretical possibility keeps it from being called a direct subsidy.
The Postal Service is also exempt from paying taxes, among other exemptions it has from costs that other businesses have to pay.
Exemption from taxes, and from other require-ments that apply to other
businesses, are also not called subsidies. For people who mistake words for re-alities, that is enough for them to buy the political line — and to get huffy with those who don’t.
Loan guarantees are a favorite form of hidden subsidies for all sorts of special interests. At a given point in time, it can be said that these guarantees cost the taxpayers nothing. But when they suddenly do cost something — as with Fan-nie Mae and Freddie Mac — they can cost billions.
One of the reasons for so much presumptuous ig-norance fl ourishing in our time may be the empha-sis on “self-esteem” in our schools and colleges.
Children not yet a decade old have been encouraged, or even required, to write letters to public fi gures, sounding off on issues rang-ing from taxes to nuclear missiles. Our schools begin promoting presumptuous ignorance early on. It is apparently one of the few things they teach well. The end result is people without much knowledge, but with a lot of brass.

This is ‘brass age’ of presumptuous ignorance
Gracious God, help us know that your grace is suffi cient for us. Help us always to forgive others. Amen.
No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him.

Associated PressLACEY TOWNSHIP, N.J. — A New
Jersey camel with an appetite for picking winning NFL teams has signaled the New York Giants will win the Super Bowl.
Princess, the star of Popcorn Park Zoo, has correctly picked the winner of fi ve of the last six Super Bowls. She went 14 and 6 predicting regular sea-son games this year.
The Bactrian camel’s prognostica-
tion skills fl ow from her love of graham crackers. Zoo general manager John Bergmann places a cracker and writes the name of the competing teams on each hand. Whichever hand Princess nibbles from is her pick.
Her only miscue in the big game was picking the Indianapolis Colts over the New Orleans Saints two years ago.
Princess, who once belonged to heir-ess Doris Duke, doesn’t do point spreads.
Camel predicts Giants will win Super Bowl
CHAGRIN FALLS, Ohio — It began quietly, as an email to 40 friends.
But when a steady stream of customers be-gan coming through the door before the family-owned Chagrin Hardware had even opened for the day on Saturday, it was clear that it had turned into much more than that.
The idea started with Jim Black, a resident of Chagrin Falls, a close-knit village in Cleveland’s eastern suburbs that is part artist colony and part bedroom community. Black posted the email to a group of his friends.
“Let’s show our support for one of our local busi-nesses,” he wrote. “I chal-lenge everyone to spend AT LEAST $20 at the hardware on the 21st.”
Although his email re-ferred to the idea of a “Cash Mob” or the notion to “Oc-cupy CF Hardware,” he re-ally had no political agen-da. And it wasn’t meant as a protest against the big-box stores that have creat-ed an ever-tightening circle around the community.
It was just a way to thank Chagrin Hardware’s owners for a beloved shop that has been a fi xture in the village since 1857.
“These are good people who needed our support,” Black said. “It’s just that
simple.”The store, overlooking
meandering Riverside Park and the Chagrin River in the middle of town, has been run by the Shutts family for the last 72 years. It passed from uncle to father to older brothers Rob and Kenny and the three youngest, Steve, Susie and Jack, who run the store today.
Black’s note was for-warded and forwarded and forwarded again. Calls started coming in from folks out of state who wanted to make a purchase over the phone.
And when the day came, so did the shoppers — one by one, with dogs on leashes and children in tow, hour after hour until the hardware was teem-ing with customers.
“This is small-town Amer-ica,” said resident Martine Scheuermann, a bag of pet-safe ice melt in her arms and her Springer Spaniels tapping their toes on the worn wooden fl oor at her feet. “This is a special family business in a town where ev-erybody knows you.”
The store has seen its share of tough times. Road construction on Main Street at the store’s front door some years back crippled business for a time. More recently, the weakened economy and the big boxes have stolen away customers.
On this day, though, those storylines were for-gotten.
By 10 a.m. the place was jammed. By 1:30 p.m., the credit card machine was overloaded and had to be reset. “This is so cool,” said Steve Shutts, a mix of joy, wonder and happy exhaus-tion spread across his face. “I’ve seen people today I haven’t seen in years.”
The line at the checkout stretched in two directions as people with snow shov-els and light bulbs and fi re-place grates and vintage movie posters and horse shoe caulk — yes, horse shoe caulk — waited to pay.
Chad Schron, 38, came with his 8-year-old son Rob-ert. “We didn’t have any-thing we had to get, but we found things we had to get,” he said. As he spoke, Robert clutched an Ohio State desk lamp and two fl ying monkey toys to his chest.
When the fi nal cus-tomer had fi nally left well after closing time with her fuzzy dice and fl oodlights, Schwind and Steve Shutts tallied the day’s receipts. Shutts shook his head at the wild and unexpected ride.
He wouldn’t say how much the store made that day, but was clearly pleased with the outcome.
“Thanks to Jimmy Black,” he said. “Thanks to everyone. Thanks to Chagrin Falls.
“What a place to live.”
In the era of big boxes, a day for the little guy
BY AMY SANCETTAAssociated Press
WASHINGTON — The White House said Monday that it’s delaying for one week the release of Presi-dent Barack Obama’s bud-get for the 2013 fi scal year that starts Oct. 1.
The budget is traditional-ly released on the fi rst Mon-day in February — which is Feb. 6 — but the adminis-tration has pushed the re-lease to Feb. 13. An admin-istration offi cial said the later date was “determined based on the need to fi nal-ize decisions and technical details of the document.”
After last year’s failed
attempts at budget deals, election-year expecta-tions are low that Obama and Congress will be able to make progress this year on defi cits that required the government to bor-row 36 cents of every dol-lar it spent last year.
But House Major-ity Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., told reporters that he’s hopeful Congress and Obama will at least be able to agree upon enough budget savings to forestall across-the-board budget cuts. The cuts are required in the wake of last year’s failure by a so-called defi cit supercom-
mittee to come up with $1.2 trillion in spending cuts mandated by the debt limit agreement.
Obama is sure to pre-view new policy propos-als in Tuesday’s State of the Union address, and the subsequent budget release typically fl eshes in the details.
Capitol Hill Republi-cans were quick to criti-cize the White House de-lay, saying it shows the White House isn’t serious about tackling the defi cit.
“If I were advising Presi-dent Obama, I’d recom-mend less time campaign-ing and more time spent addressing the impend-ing fi scal crisis,” said Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio. “We need a budget with a responsible spending re-straint and pro-growth re-forms and we need it now.”

Associated PressWASHINGTON — The
American economy may not be truly healthy yet, but it’s healing.
The 2.8 percent annual growth rate reported Fri-day for the fourth quar-ter was the fastest since spring 2010 and was the third straight quarter that growth has accelerated.
Experts cautioned, however, that the pace was unlikely to last and that it’s not enough to sharply drive down the unemployment rate.
Unemployment stands at 8.5 percent — its low-est level in nearly three years after a sixth straight month of solid hiring. And Friday’s Commerce De-partment report suggests more hiring gains ahead.
For the fi nal three months of 2011, Ameri-cans spent more on ve-hicles, and companies re-stocked their supplies at a robust pace.
Still, overall growth last quarter — and for all of last year — was slowed by the sharpest cuts in an-nual government spend-ing in four decades. And many people are reluc-tant to spend more or buy homes, and many em-ployers remain hesitant to hire, even though job growth has strengthened.
The outlook for 2012 is slightly better. The Federal Reserve has esti-mated economic growth of roughly 2.5 percent for the year, despite abun-dant risk factors: federal spending cuts, weak pay increases, cautious con-sumers and the risk of a European recession.
Economists noted that most of the growth in the October-December quar-ter was due to companies restocking their supplies at the fastest rate in near-ly two years. That pace is expected to slow.
“The pickup in growth doesn’t look half as good when you realize that most of it was due to inventory accumulation,” said Paul Ashworth, an economist at Capital Economics.
Ashworth expects annu-alized growth to slip below 2 percent in the current January-March quarter. Other economists have similar estimates.
Stocks opened lower after the government re-ported the growth fi gures. The Dow Jones indus-trial average closed down
about 74 points. Broader indexes were mixed.
In a normal economy, roughly 3 percent growth is a healthy fi gure. It’s enough to keep unem-ployment down — but not so much growth as to ig-nite infl ation.
But coming out of a recession, much stron-ger growth is needed. By some estimates, the econ-omy would have to ex-pand at least 5 percent for a full year to drive down the unemployment rate by 1 percentage point.
In many ways, the economy did end 2011 on a strong note. Companies invested more in equip-ment and machinery in December.
People are buying more cars, and consumer confi -dence has risen. Even the depressed housing market has shown enough incre-mental gains to lead some economists to detect the start of a turnaround.
In the fi nal three months of 2011, consumer spend-ing grew at a 2 percent annual rate. That was up modestly from the July-September quarter. Con-sumer spending is critical because it fuels about 70 percent of the economy.
Much of the growth was powered by a 15 percent surge in sales of autos and other long-lasting manu-factured goods.
Incomes, which have been weak because of still-high unemployment, grew ever so slightly, at a tepid 0.8 percent annual rate, following two straight quarterly declines. Unless pay picks up, consumers who have dipped into sav-ings in recent months may pull back.
“Consumers don’t have much income growth, and to even achieve a 2 percent growth rate in spending in the fourth quarter, they had to run down their sav-ing rate,” said Nigel Gault, chief economist at IHS Global Insight.
And government spend-ing at all levels fell at an annual rate of 4.6 percent in the fourth quarter and 2.1 percent for the year — the sharpest drop since 1971. Defense cuts at the start and end of the year were a key factor. With Congress aiming to shrink budget defi cits, the like-lihood of further federal spending cuts could weigh on the economy.
Economic growth is measured by the change in the gross domestic product, or GDP. The GDP refl ects the value of all goods and services — from machinery to mani-cures to hotel bookings to jet fi ghters — produced in the United States.
Friday’s estimate of GDP growth was the fi rst
of three for the October-December quarter. The fi gure will be revised twice, in February and then in March.
Ian Shepherdson, an economist at High Fre-quency Economics, is among the more opti-mistic analysts. He said he thought business in-vestment in capital goods would be stronger and consumer spending high-er this year.
Many fear that a like-ly recession in Europe could cool demand for U.S. manufactured goods. Growth would slow. Without many more jobs and better pay, consumer spending could weaken.
The Fed signaled this week that a full economic recovery could take at least three more years.
Although things may not be good, they’re get-ting better.
Gault predicts the econ-omy will create an average of 150,000 jobs a month in 2012 based on his ex-pectation that the year will be slightly stronger than 2011. Last year, the econ-omy created an average 133,000 jobs a month.
“We are starting to see improvements in the housing market, and con-sumers are working down their debt levels,” Gault said. “That is all good and will help us this year.”

There was no panic on the pitch.
Staring right in the face of elimination, the Corinth War-riors advanced to the North Half championship game for the third straight year by edg-ing out Florence 3-2 in over-time Saturday at Warrior Sta-dium II.
CHS will host Pontotoc, a 6-1 winner over Lewisburg, in the Class 4A semifi nal match
on Tuesday.“Florence was the real deal,”
said CHS Head Coach Gregg Parker. “That just shows how tough and tenacious we are. You can’t simulate that kind of intensity in practice.”
The Corinth girls saw their playoff run halted with an 9-1 setback to Florence in the fi rst match of the day. The Lady Warriors (11-7) ended the shutout bid on a Mychaela Nixon goal off a Frances Bul-lard assist in the second half.
• Florence (14-5-3) scored with about 12 minutes remain-ing in the second-round con-test to take a 2-1 advantage.
With about one minute left in its season, Corinth (16-2-2) evened the score and forced overtime when John Mathis headed in a Josh Trest boot.
“They never gave up,” said Parker. “They won’t quit until someone tells them its time to come home.”
Riding the momentum shift, Albert Stanley pro-
vided the eventual game-win-ning goal midway of the fi rst 10-minute overtime session on a direct kick from midfi eld. The long, high-arching boot left the Florence goalie red faced and with a red card fol-lowing an outburst.
A halftime talk proved ben-efi cial in the game-changing goal on a sloppy playing sur-face.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — In close games on the road against good teams, there are two things Mississippi State coach Rick Stansbury be-lieves teams just can’t do.
Commit turnovers and miss free throws.
The No. 18 Bulldogs did both in a 69-57 loss at No. 14 Florida on Saturday.
Arnett Moultrie and Dee
Bost scored 12 points apiece, but it wasn’t nearly enough to overcome 14 turnovers and six missed free throws.
Stansbury gave Florida all the credit. But he also blamed his team for causing some its own woes.
“When you’re on the road fi ghting against a real quality team like Florida, you have to take advantage of all those situations,” Stansbury said.
“It’s a fi ne line on the road as the visiting team.”
Coming off a physical game Thursday night at Missis-sippi, the Gators (17-4, 5-1 Southeastern Conference) started a little sluggish Satur-day but really got things roll-ing in the second half. An 11-0 run sparked by Bradley Beal’s third 3-pointer and high-lighted by Patric Young’s two dunks turned a tight game
into a double-digit affair.Mississippi State (17-5,
4-3) trailed 62-47 after the spurt and never got the lead to single digits. The Gators made enough plays down the stretch to secure their second win in six games against the Bulldogs.
Florida also improved to 5-1 in short-turnaround

NASHVILLE, Tenn.— Van-derbilt coach Kevin Stallings warned his Commodores they would get Middle Ten-nessee’s best game Saturday. They proved to be up to the challenge in a game that had the feel of a fi rst-round game at the NCAA tournament.
John Jenkins scored seven of his 26 points in the fi nal 4:34, and Vanderbilt held off Middle Tennessee 84-77
Saturday for its 10th win in 11 games in a game that was much tighter than the fi nal score.
“It took being ready, it took toughness, it took sustain-ing effort for 40 minutes for our team to win the game,” Stallings said. “And we knew that’s what we were going to have to do coming in because we knew this was their game. And I’m really proud of my guys, they delivered. They
stepped up to the plate and played well.”
Stallings scheduled this game to take advantage of a break in the Southeastern Conference schedule, and his timing couldn’t have been worse with Middle Tennes-see coming in having won 12 straight.
“We knew that it wasn’t going to be easy today,” Van-derbilt forward Jeffery Taylor said. “The coaches really, re-
ally emphasized that in prac-tice leading up to this game. It was good to get this one. They’re a really good team, and I think it will be a quality win when the season’s over.
The Commodores (16-5) handed Middle Tennessee (20-3) its fi rst loss since Dec. 7. They outrebounded the Blue Raiders 28-22 and hit 24 free throws in 30 attempts

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Trevor Releford scored 18 points and Alabama snapped a four-game los-ing streak, beating Arkan-sas 72-66 on Saturday.
JaMychal Green fi n-ished with 14 points and eight rebounds for Crim-son Tide (14-7, 3-4 South-eastern Conference), who won their 500th game in Coleman Coliseum. Tony Mitchell and An-drew Steele each scored 11 points. Steele also had a career-high six assists and six rebounds.
The four players who scored in double-digits were the most this season since Alabama put fi ve players in double digits during an 82-45 victory over Alabama A&M on Nov. 23.
Ricky Scott had 18 points for the Razorbacks
(15-6, 3-3) remain winless on the road. Mardracus Wade 12 points and BJ Young 11 points and six assists.
After trailing by fi ve points on four occa-sions, Alabama grabbed its fi rst lead 28-26 at the 7:11 mark when Releford made a three-point shot from the corner.
“The way we closed the fi rst half with a seven point lead (enabled us) to have good momentum,” Alabama coach Anthony Grant said.
The Crimson Tide stayed in front for the remainder of the half, extending their lead to 37-30 at halftime when Releford scored on a driv-ing lay-up.
The Razorbacks went on a 17-8 run to take a 47-45 lead on a score by Devonta Abron with 13:41
remaining, after Abron had tied the game on a dunk. Trailing 56-54 with 6:59 left to play, Alabama outscored Arkansas 18-10 down the stretch to secure the win.
“I think we had better energy on the defensive end. We executed and made some plays down the stretch,” Releford said. “We played with a sense of urgency. We were on a four-game los-ing streak and I think just to get our confi dence back we needed to win.” Steele said, “We made some tough stops when we needed to. I think we did a good job at the end of both halves of fi nishing.”
Alabama connected on 25-of-50 shots from the fi eld, marking the seventh time this season the Crim-son Tide has shot 50 per-cent or better in a game.

over kick,” said Parker. “I told him to be nice and smooth and not try to overcompensate for the cow pasture.”
The Eagles had a golden op-portunity to score in the closing minutes of the fi rst overtime ses-sion. Cullen Grantham, who had 18 saves, turned back consecu-tive point blank kicks before Neal Lancaster booted out a third at-tempt just shy of the goal line.
Corinth had a chance to add to its one-goal advantage in the second 10-minute session, but Graves Marshall was wide left on a breakaway shot at the 7:15 mark.
Grantham turned away a close direct kick with under fi ve min-utes remaining and Corinth held on for the win.
The Warriors jumped out to a 1-0 lead midway of the fi rst half. Bryant Carlton did the honors on an assist from John Michael Mc-Fall.
Corinth’s 1-0 advantage held until Florence found the back of the net with about one minute left in the fi rst half.
Grantham had 15 saves dur-ing regulation and three during overtime.
Corinth was credited with 11 shots on goal, four in the extra session.

games (Thursday-Satur-day) over the last three seasons. Mississippi State is the only confer-ence team better, posting a 5-0 mark in those kind of games.
“It is diffi cult,” Stans-bury said. “It’s better when you’re at home. ... As a coach, none of likes that scenario. But it’s
part of it. Most of us in this league have to do it.”
Moultrie added 13 re-bounds, notching his league-leading 13th dou-ble-double of the season before fouling out with 2:04 remaining.
Beal led the Gators with 19 points. Young fi nished with 12, many of them coming on crowd-rousing plays in the sec-ond half.
Florida used pressing, trapping defense to dic-tate tempo and force the Bulldogs into all those turnovers.
“They had a lot to do with us not playing our best,” Stansbury said.
Florida trapped Bost on every pick-and-roll play, often forcing the ball out of his hands and trying to wear him down.
“They were commu-
nicating with each other and were out there on defense talking amongst themselves,” Bost said. “That’s a sign of a really good team.”
The biggest difference came at the 3-point line.
The Gators, who lead the nation in 3s, hit 11 of 24 from behind the arc.
“It seemed like 21, but it was only 11,” Stansbury said.

to Middle Tennessee’s 16 of 22.
Middle Tennessee coach Kermit Davis feels good about a stiff test for his team from the Sun Belt Conference, which already had wins at UCLA and Mississippi in what may wind up as the Blue Raiders’ best season ever.
“They could make a deep run in the NCAA tournament; you go on their home fl oor and play the way we played today, I think it re-emphasizes what we thought,” Davis said. “We’ve got a really competitive team, and we can play with most teams in college basketball.”
Festus Ezeli scored a season-high 21 points and sank a career-best 11 free throws for Vanderbilt. Taylor added 17 points and Lance Goulbourne had 11.
LaRon Dendy led Middle Tennessee with a career-high 22 points. JT Sulton had 12 points before fouling out, and Bruce Massey and Marcos Knight each had 10.
Both teams came in streaking, with Middle Tennessee’s streak tied for third-longest in the nation. The Blue Raiders, whose campus is about 40 miles southeast of Nashville, have never won at Memorial Gym in a se-ries Vandy now leads 29-4, but they certainly came close in this game.
The teams swapped the lead eight times with
10 ties, and Vanderbilt was up 44-39 at halftime. Middle Tennessee led by as much as eight in the fi rst half, taking advan-tage of a cold-shooting start by Vanderbilt, and the Commodores never led by more than six as the teams went back and forth most of the second half.
“He was just kind of stuck,” Jenkins said of Tinsley at the start of the play.

I had no intention of writing another column on side-trolling for crappie since I’ve written on the subject numerous times in the past, but recently after running into a couple of people new to the area who expressed an interest in learning about crappie fi shing on Pickwick, I’ve decided to give it another shot — fi guring if there’s two, there’s probably sev-eral more. This time, how-ever, I’m going to try giving a better detailed descrip-tion of how and where to use the technique plus the gear that will be needed.
But before I get too car-ried away, I must give credit to where credit is due. Bill and Roger Gant of Corinth, crappie guides on Pickwick Lake, came up with the innovative and effective pulling tech-nique to troll for crappie many, many years ago.
You can’t argue with the effectiveness of the technique when you’ve
got two sportsmen earning a portion of their in-come using it exclu-sively on their guid-ing trips.
S i d e -trolling is
more effective than the traditional way of troll-ing long-ways because it allows the angler to fi sh deep or shallow and cov-er a wider span of water faster using several poles at a time rigged with mul-tiple baits. That means all depths can be fi shed effectively with the like-lihood of tangled lines being less, unproductive water can be eliminated quickly, and crappies can be found faster.
Trolling long ways in deep water and keeping in contact with the bot-tom without stretching your lines out all the way
across the lake is an im-possible task.
Any fi shing boat can be used in side-trolling. However, a lightweight boat such as a 14-foot fl at bottom or a boat specifi cally designed for side-trolling will perform better. They are easier to control and maneuver when trying to drift a spe-cifi c area, such as a ledge for instance.
To make control and maneuverability simple, the trolling motor should be mounted on the side in the vicinity of the driver’s seat so the boat will pull evenly in a sideways fash-ion. If the boat doesn’t pull evenly once the motor is affi xed, correct it by mov-ing the mount one way or the other as needed.
Practically, any kind of reel will work fi ne. Most fi shermen use baits casting reels, but I do know others who prefer using spinning reels. It all comes down to individual preference.
The type of rods and line size diameter used does matter, however. Sensitive light action rods with lim-ber tips are essential for detecting light strikes and for noticing when baits bump into structure, and small diameter line out-performs heavier lines be-cause it is less visible and creates a more realistic presentation. Six to eight pound test lines are good sizes to use.
Most fi shermen use one-eighth or one-quarter ounce hair jigs when troll-ing for crappie on Pick-wick, but tube jigs in the right color at the right time will also work just as well.
In side-trolling, anglers usually fi sh with three rods apiece rigged with two jigs of varying sizes and colors on each line tied about 18 inches apart. The baits are lowered to run next to the bottom just above cover, and then the rods are spaced two to three feet apart and placed
in V-shaped rod holders.Rod holders and the
number of rods used are optional. On windy days, however, rod holders are extremely helpful.
When a crappie hits your offering, the rod tip will thump similar to the way a bass sucks in a plastic worm. That’s when you grab the rod, set the hook and, hopefully, reel him in.
Good electronics is not an option. It’s a must.
My partner and I had our LCR unit fi xed mid-way on the side of the boat in front of us. That way both of us could take note of what depth the fi sh were being caught at, and make adjustments to our lines if we came up on a sudden depth change. This helps in establishing a pattern and avoiding unnecessary hang-ups.
Pickwick and side-troll-ing for crappie are synony-mous, but the tactic along with the same types of jigs and jig sizes also work well on other lakes. Dynamite
action can be had on Ken-tucky Lake, by trolling the ledges on Sardis in late spring, and I have heard people doing well catch-ing suspended crappies on Bay Springs during the summer months.
What you may not know is side-trolling can be used effectively to fi sh for catfi sh. When the cur-rent is weak, the motor can be used to help push you along. If the current is pushing you along too fast, it can be used to slow the drift so the bait can be bounced along more slowly across the bottom.

WASHINGTON — Sec-retary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton says she wants to step off the “high wire of American politics” after two decades and is again tamping down spec-ulation that she might stay in government if President Barack Obama wins a sec-ond term.
Clinton told State De-partment employees on Thursday that she is ready for a rest and is paying no attention to the Repub-lican presidential candi-date debates. She said she wants to fi nd out just how tired she is after working fl at out as fi rst lady, sena-tor, aspiring presidential
candidate and fi nally the top U.S. diplomat.
“I have made it clear that I will certainly stay on until the president nominates someone and that transition can oc-cur” if Obama wins re-election, she told a town hall meeting. “But I think after 20 years, and it will be 20 years, of being on the high wire of Ameri-can politics and all of the challenges that come with that, it would be probably a good idea to just fi nd out how tired I am.”
But, she appeared to leave the door open for a possible eventual return, adding to laughter from the crowd that “everyone always says that when they leave these jobs.”
As secretary of state, Clinton is barred from partisan politics and she acknowledged that it is un-usual not to be participat-ing in this election season. But, she said she is enjoy-ing being away from the fray and hasn’t watched any of the GOP debates.
“It is a little odd for me to be totally out of an election season,” she said. “But, you know, I didn’t watch any of those debates.”
Clinton said she ex-pected the campaign for November’s election to “suck up a lot of the atten-tion” normally devoted to foreign policy issues but she joked that that might actually help the State De-partment.
“The good news is may-be we can even get more done if they are not pay-ing attention, so just fac-tor that in.”

DEAR ABBY: I’m fortu-nate to be married to an amazing woman. There’s just one problem. She’s convinced that I’m going to burn down the house. She constantly nags me when I’m cooking, even when I’m literally stand-ing over the pots. I fi nd her tone — and the idea that I don’t know how to use a stove — insulting.
She insists I have the burner on too high when I’m making spaghetti, and it will somehow result in a catastrophe far worse than a ruined meal. I fi nd it extremely annoying because I am 30, served my country honorably in Iraq, have been making spaghetti since I was 12 and have never caused any sort of kitchen fi re.
My wife hasn’t cooked for me in more than a year. That doesn’t upset me because I know she works hard to earn money for our family. But if she doesn’t cook for me and I’m not allowed to cook for me, then how am I supposed to eat?
Is there anything I can do to make my wife un-derstand that I can be
t r u s t e d to make a simple meal on a simple stove? -- P A S T A GUY IN PHILLY
D E A R P A S T A
GUY: Prob-ably not, if you haven’t been able to convey that message in more than a year. So insist that she stay out of the kitchen while you’re cooking, or prepare your meals after she has left for work. Or expand your repertoire beyond spaghetti and make a salad instead.
DEAR ABBY: I’m a 15-year-old high school student with a wonder-ful life, but I’m not hap-py. I get good grades, have many great friends, a weekend job and an amazing boyfriend.
The problem is I’m bored. I have had only one technical boyfriend besides the one I have now. I had two “fl ings” where I got involved with guys without an offi cial or physical relationship.
I know most teenagers would kill for a boyfriend like mine who buys them things and tells them they’re beautiful. But I want a relationship with ups and downs — drama and fi ghting. Am I crazy to want to date other peo-ple, or is this normal? — LOST IN LOVE
DEAR LOST IN LOVE: You’re not crazy. It is nor-mal for some teenage girls to want variety. However, please don’t equate the kind of drama you see on TV and in fi lms with what real life is supposed to be about. Relationships fi lled with drama and fi ghting do not have hap-py outcomes. They can lead to bruised hearts and sometimes violence.
If you want to end the relationship with your boyfriend, by all means do so. But before you become involved in the kind of relationship you think would be exciting, please discuss it with your mother or another trust-ed adult, because a ma-ture person with insight should share some of it with you.
DEAR ABBY: My moth-
er gives gifts -- sometimes very generous ones -- but always with strings at-tached. She also keeps a record of which re-cipients have responded with appropriate grati-tude (cards, phone calls) and those who have not. Those individuals on the “not” list are ridiculed behind their backs and slighted in other ways.
My mother considers herself a “good Chris-tian,” but I believe her actions are selfi sh, and I have confl icting emotions when I receive gifts from her. What do you think? — CONFLICTED IN WIS-CONSIN
DEAR CONFLICTED: I think you should always thank your mother gra-ciously and appropriately for her generosity when she gives you a gift, if only because it is considered good manners.

The tension created by yesterday’s confl ict between Mercury and Jupiter still hangs in the air. Economic mat-ters are more complex and nuanced than they seem, and it’s not exactly the right moment to work out the de-tails. Wait until things simmer down, and know that everything will even-tually balance out -- it always does.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). There are certain aspects of your life you used to fi nd distressing that you now fi nd merely interesting. The facts are what they are, and you have little emotional attachment to them.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You don’t like to admit when you’re wrong and being slow to do so will serve you well. You’re not the only one respon-sible for what has happened. Take a moment to review all sides.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The conventional wisdom suggests that the past cannot be changed, and yet, since it exists in your mind, it chang-es all of the time. The way you view your history will transform yet again today.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’re more likely to believe what is entirely, outrageously incredible than buy into the boring truth. This is a good qual-ity now, as a bit of strange fantasy will fuel your motivation.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You are not in the mood to compromise. You won’t sell out your own interests, and you feel the same way about the rest of your team. Your loyalty will be re-warded.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It’s
good to be charming and even better to be charming with your own means of transportation. Your smile will get you the invitation, but you’ll need a car to get to the party.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You val-ue lively conversation. Sometimes, you have to work a little harder for it. The reading you do now will help future interactions. Also, take note of the best bits of your day to share with a trusted friend later.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). If you want to do something well, save your-self time and effort by going straight to the one who already has mastered the skill. Imitate the master for a while to learn the ropes.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). When arrangements don’t go as an-ticipated, you won’t judge or com-plain. Instead, you’ll simply observe the interaction, taking note of how you might, when and if you feel like it, change your approach.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You want justice in a matter, not only for you but for all involved. You’re willing to fi ght for what is really right, even if it benefi ts others more than it does you.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). If only tomorrow’s troubles could be drained away by worrying about them today. But it doesn’t work that way. The only thing that will be drained away by worry is your energy. Think positive and get in motion.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There’s a beautiful view on the hori-zon, but you may be the only one to notice at fi rst. You’ll be challenged to draw the attention of others away from self-interest and toward some-thing magnifi cent.

NEW YORK — Daniel Radcliffe had to decide what his fi rst starring fi lm role would be after the “Harry Potter” franchise ended in 2011, and he didn’t make that decision lightly.
Despite demonstrating his acting range by star-ring in “Equus” and “How to Succeed in Business” on Broadway, the pres-sure was on for Radcliffe to prove he could play more than Potter on the big screen.
He chose “The Woman in Black,” a dark thriller about a recently widowed father who is haunted by his wife’s death. The movie will be in theaters
Feb. 3.“I never expected the fi rst thing I did after ‘Pot-ter’ to be a horror fi lm or anything like that. That was one of the reasons it was intriguing to me as well because it was so un-expected,” Radcliffe said in a recent interview. He also talked about grow-ing up fast, getting praise from actor Sean Connery, who starred in James Bond fi lms, and why he isn’t ready to marry his longtime girlfriend.
AP: You knew the world was watching to see what movie you picked after “Harry Potter” ended. Why did you decide on “The Woman in Black”?
Radcliffe: This fi lm is a fi lm that has a great story
but it is driven by charac-ters at the heart of it. It fi t in perfectly. It was going to be fi lming when I was on break from fi nishing “Potter” and starring in “How to Succeed,” so it was perfectly timed out. Also, when I was reading the script, I was surprised to be enjoying a horror fi lm because I have never gravitated towards that in my own life.
AP: Did any former child stars, or people who have made the transition from doing iconic roles to having diverse careers give you advice about how to avoid being typecast?
Radcliffe: Not particu-larly, but I did hear the other day from a friend of mine who is friends with
Sean Connery and appar-ently Sean Connery asked him to pass along to me how well he thought I was doing and how well I seem to be handling everything and making good choices. For me, that was great be-cause he is a great actor. He had this amazing start to his career in Bond and managed to create a fan-tastic career for himself outside that, so to hear that from him was very fl attering.
AP: You play a father in this role. Did you feel that was a stretch?
Radcliffe: It is very hard to create that chemis-try with a 4-year-old boy who you have never met before and who is step-ping onto a fi lm set going,
“What in the hell is all of this?” That was one of the reasons that I suggested (director) James (Wat-kins) audition my real-life godson who auditioned and was great and is great in the fi lm. At the time when we were fi lming, I was so obsessed with him having a good time and making sure he wasn’t cold or wasn’t freaking out that I didn’t really pay attention to the fact that he is actually quite a good little actor.
AP: This movie is dark, but it is also about love. Did you think about the love you have for your longtime girlfriend, Rosanne Coker, for inspi-ration?
Radcliffe: At the time
we had been fi lming this we had only been go-ing out for a couple of months. There is actually one shot in the fi lm where Rosie had to play the woman in black because we didn’t have a double for her that day so she is actually in one of the re-veal shots in the fi lm. She is going to kill me for tell-ing you that. I don’t think I probably drew on things at that time, but I am sure now I will probably use — the fear of losing her will be a very good motivating tool.
AP: Are you thinking of marriage?
Radcliffe: Who knows. God, I am not even think-ing about that for a long time.
Daniel Radcliffe dishes on post ‘Potter’ lifeBY ALICIA QUARLES

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Kellie Pickler wants you to know she’s a tradition-al gal — and she’s making it very clear with her new album, “100 Proof.”
The platinum blonde “American Idol” alum is pulling back from the pop-country tunes that once defi ned her, like “Red High Heels” and “Best Days Of Your Life,” and replacing them with ones that refl ect her tradi-tional country roots. The album was released this week.
“I guess it’s been like three-and-a-half years since my last record came out. ... So a lot has hap-pened in my life. I’m mar-ried. I’ve grown up a lot, because when I started this I was 19 and green when I did my fi rst re-cord, ‘Small Town Girl,’” said Pickler. “So much has
happened in my life. Most of it is on the record.”
Pickler, 25, took cues from her musical heroes, the big wigs of women in country music. The opening track even name checks one of those leg-ends in “Where’s Tammy Wynette.”
“I love Tammy Wynette. She’s a big reason why I fell in love with coun-try music. You wouldn’t know that if you listened to (my) past things,” Pickler said. “I love that sound, and I wanted to sprinkle a little bit of the people that infl uenced me to be here in the fi rst place but make it my record.”
Pickler wrote more on this album than in the past, penning six of the 11 songs. Two are very per-sonal and refl ect her sep-arate, complicated rela-tionships with her mother and father.
As for the rest of the al-
bum, Pickler doesn’t lose her sassy personality.
“There’s songs that are fun, upbeat. We’ve got ‘Unlock That Honky Tonk’ that’s rockin’. There’s a lot of banjo. There’s a lot of steel. There’s a lot of fi ddle. There’s a lot of my favorite musical instru-ments,” she said.
“Tough” was the fi rst song released from “100 Proof.” A friend wrote it for Pickler based on a conversation they had about her life.
“You think physically tough, but this song is about being emotionally tough. It’s about being a tough woman. It’s about letting the things and the obstacles and the speed bumps you hit in life; it doesn’t bring you down. It makes you strong. It doesn’t make you weak,” said Pickler. “Like it or love it, this is the way I am.”
Pickler gets personal on albumBY CAITLIN R. KING
Associated PressNASHVILLE, Tenn.
— Tim McGraw’s long-delayed album “Emo-tional Traffi c” has the attention of Music Row this week as it fi nally hits the streets.
The last album in the long, lucrative but con-tentious relationship be-tween McGraw and Curb Records arrives more than a year late with a fas-cinating backstory and a little bit of buzz. McGraw isn’t actively promoting the album, but it kicks off what promises to be a high visibility year for the country star.
He’s currently consid-ering his next move after a judge granted his free-dom from his record deal last November. What’s already on the schedule is the “Brothers of the Sun” stadium tour this summer with Kenny
Chesney and actively re-cording new songs.
“Emotional Traffi c” already indirectly pro-duced a multi-week No. 1 song, “Felt Good on My Lips,” which was re-leased against McGraw’s wishes on a hits package in 2010. McGraw has called the new album his “best ever” and fan inter-est is piqued.
“There are a lot of pos-sibilities with this record. It’s hard to say,” said Wade Jessen, who tracks country music and other charts for Billboard Mag-azine in Nashville.
“I think at least in the public comments Tim has made about it, he’s very much a cheerleader for this music, and that may go a long way to making the most emo-tionally invested fans overlook the fact that it’s coming out on a re-cord label Tim has had
some issues with. And we know how loyal coun-try music fans are. They like for their artists to be treated fairly and with respect, and if there’s any perception other-wise it can guide their decisions.”
With legal issues to re-solve still, McGraw and Curb executives aren’t doing interviews to pro-mote “Emotional Traf-fi c.”
But McGraw laid the groundwork for a pro-motional campaign in a few interviews last year. He also previewed a handful of cuts from the album on last year’s ex-tremely popular “Emo-tional Traffi c” tour.
In an interview last April, McGraw said he couldn’t wait for fans to hear the new album.
“The songs are just re-ally fresh and cool. I’m excited.”

The marriage of Lori Nicole Null and Jerry Todd Thompson took place Saturday, Oct. 15, 2011 in Nashville, Tenn. Minister Brian Stephens offi ciated at the ceremony on the lawn of historic Ce-darwood.
The bride’s attendants were Leigha Moltz, ma-tron of honor, of Mur-freesboro, Tenn.; Eliza-beth Huddleston, cousin of the bride, of Birming-ham, Ala.; Kathryn Smith of Decherd, Tenn.; Kara Mattox of Old Hickory, Tenn.; and Lona Dunn of Murfreesboro, Tenn. The ring bearer was Madden Moltz, and Peyton Namie served as the fl ower girl. The bride was given in marriage by her brother, Gabe Null.
The bride is the daugh-ter of Mrs. Gay Null and the late Mr. Bobby W. Null of Corinth. She is the granddaughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Har-mon Rainey and the late Mrs. Dessie W. Null, all of Corinth.
She is a 1998 honor graduate of Kossuth High School. She gradu-ated summa cum laude in 2002 from David Lip-scomb University where she holds a bachelor of science degree in exer-cise science/biology. She received her doctorate degree in physical thera-py from Tennessee State University in 2008.
She is employed at Magnolia Regional Health Center.
The groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Jerry
Thompson of Red Bay, Ala. He is the grandson of the late Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Thompson of Golden, and the late Mr. and Mrs. L.C. Sparks of Belmont.
He is a 1988 honor graduate of Red Bay High School. He graduated magna cum laude from the University of Missis-sippi with a bachelor of science degree in biology in 1994, and a bachelor of science degree in nurs-ing from the University of North Alabama in 1997.
He is employed at Mag-nolia Regional Health Center.
Serving the groom as best man was his father, Jerry Thompson. Other attendants were Gabe Null, brother of the bride, of Corinth; Michael Jones of Corinth; Jason Greer of Nashville, Tenn.; and Alex Moltz of Murfrees-boro, Tenn.
The wedding reception took place at Cedarwood. After a honeymoon in Hawaii, the couple is at home in Rienzi.

(StatePoint) Your wedding day will like-ly be one of the most memorable days of your life. Unfortu-nately, many engaged couples get trapped planning a bland, for-mulaic party. But with some creative plan-ning, your nuptials can be as unique as your relationship.
Here are some top customization tips for couples tying the knot:
■ Pick a theme: A theme can really tie your affair together. Opt for one that is aesthetically appropri-ate for a wedding, and complementary to the venue. Your theme should inform your planning decisions on everything from food
to music.■ Live music: Even
if you can’t spring for a ten-piece band, live music is a great invest-ment. A live musician will liven up the party by tailoring music on the fl y, based on guests’ requests.
■ A great space: If possible, avoid the standard hotel con-ference room. Your photos are going to last a lifetime, so pick a beautiful space you will want to remember.
■ Delicious food: To provide food you know you and your guests will love, consider ask-ing your favorite res-taurant to cater your event. Having your favorite steak joint or Thai spot provide the eats will certainly be unique and tasty.
MISSISSIPPI STATE — A good wedding gift is appropriately gener-ous, completely thought-ful and exactly right for the recipient, but fi nding that perfect gift can seem almost impossible.
No one wants to be the one who gave the gift that raised eyebrows or left the new couple won-dering if they have been insulted. Purchasing items on the couple’s gift registry can help them set up housekeeping and
results in fewer returns and duplicate items. However, some who wish them well want to make their gifts truly special.
Susan Cosgrove, Mis-sissippi State University Extension Service family resource management specialist in Newton County, said it helps to know as much about the couple as possible.
“Will the couple be living in a house or an apartment, in the city or in the country?” Cos-grove said. “The answer
to these questions can determine a lot about what type of gifts are most appropriate.”
Cosgrove said that even if a person chooses to fi nd a gift not on the wedding registry, ex-amining the registry can yield a lot of details about the new couple’s interests and tastes.
Gift-givers who are not crafty or confi dent of their cooking abilities can put some thought into buying a collection of items to make up a gift basket.
