Obama’seconomicagendaheads toforefrontBy The Associated Press

HONOLULU — Among the first announcements President Barack Obama will make upon returning from his Hawaiian vacation is his choice for top eco-nomic adviser, a decision that could signal a new direc-tion for the administration as it struggles to jumpstart the economy and wrestle down unemployment.

It’s far more than a per-sonnel move. The replace-ment for the outgoing direc-tor of the National Economic Council, Lawrence Summers, will have a guiding hand in nearly every economic deci-sion the Obama administra-tion makes, and the presi-dent’s choice is being closely watched for signs of where he wants to take his eco-nomic agenda in the second half of his term.

Will he tap the business world with a figure such as Roger Altman, an investment banker and Clinton adminis-tration alumnus who might carry too much baggage from his association with

President BarackPresident BarackObama

Most admired:Hillary, ObamaBy The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — For the third straight year, President Barack Obama ranks as the man most admired by people living in the United States, according to an annual USA Today-Gallup poll.

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is the most-admired woman for the ninth year in a row, edging out former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and TV host Oprah Winfrey, as she did last year.

The poll, released Monday, asked respondents what man and woman, living anywhere in the world, they most admired. Rankings from one to 10 were based on total mentions and reported in percentages.

Obama has been the poll’s most-admired man since his election in 2008. With 22 per-cent choosing him, Obama leads his predecessors, George W. Bush, with 5 per-cent, and Bill Clinton, with 4 percent.

However, Obama’s percent-age has fallen over the years. In 2008 he led the list with 32 percent and in 2009 with 30 percent.

Rail tracks reopen after derailment, fireBy Ben [email protected]

Freight trains are once again able to reach Inter-national Paper’s Vicksburg Mill.

Darrell Thompson, the general manager of Vicks-burg Southern Railroad, which operates the north-south line from Kansas City Southern Railway’s main line to the Mississippi 3 plant, said the tracks were reopened Saturday, a week ahead of schedule.

The track fell Dec. 12 after a bridge over the the Skillikalia Bayou, near U.S. 61 North and Mississippi 3, caught fire and burned for hours, dumping freight cars into the water. The 30 cars were carrying huge rolls of paper.

No one was injured in the initial derailment or fire, but International Paper was without use of the rail, a primary mode of product transportation.

The track is leased to VSR by KCS and is used only by IP to get paper and material to and from the mill.

Completion of the track had been scheduled for Jan. 3, Thompson said.

“We were able to get materials sooner than was expected,” he said, “and our crew worked very hard, which helped speed up the process.”

On Monday, work crews were making final adjust-ments to the bridges.

While the bridge was out, IP was forced to rely on 18-wheelers for transporta-tion of its goods.

“There was a little delay at first,” IP spokesman Amy Sawyer said, “but we were able to get on sched-ule and we switched back to the trains without a problem.”

Neither IP nor VSR would address how much money had been spent on

the repairs or how much money was lost as a result of the fire.

International Paper, which has been operating in Warren County since 1967,

employs nearly 300 people in the plant that makes linear board.

Construction work-Construction work-Construction workers for Vicksburg Southern Railroad work on the bridge over Skillikalia Bayou where a train derailed and bridge burned Dec. 12. The track is used to transport goods to and from Interna-tional Paper’s Vicks-burg Mill on Missis-sippi 3.

Homeless peoplehad barrel fireto keep warmBy The Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS — A blaze in a small, abandoned warehouse in New Orleans’ 9th Ward killed eight home-less people who were burn-ing wood in a barrel to stay warm, the fire department said this morning.

A man who lives nearby said the homeless often seek refuge from the cold in the neighborhood’s many boarded-up buildings. Tem-peratures were unusually low — just below freezing — when the fire was reported around 2 a.m.

The building was fully ablaze when the first fire truck arrived, said New Orleans Fire Department spokesman Greg Davis. Firefighters could not tell the ages or genders of the bodies pulled from the rubble. The fire also killed two dogs.

Two survivors told fire-fighters that at least some of the people inside were unconscious when the build-ing went up in flames. Davis

said they might have been knocked out by carbon monoxide.

“When you burn some-thing in a closed area, you’re going to build up carbon monoxide,” he said.

The average low for New Orleans in late Decem-ber is around 44 degrees, but freezing temperatures aren’t unheard of, said

National Weather Service meteorologist Tim Destri.

The survivors were a man who escaped during the fire and a woman who had left the building before it was engulfed, Red Cross worker Tom Butler said. He said both were housed at a hotel.

The man told Butler that

SIGN OF THE TIMES

JACKSON, Miss. — An 18-year-old bull rider from Arkansas was seriously injured when a bull threw him and stepped on him during opening day of a youth rodeo at the Missis-sippi Fairgrounds in Jackson.

Holden Hedgepeth was in stable condition this morn-ing, said a spokesman with the University of Mississippi Medical Center.

Hedgepeth, of Green-brier, Ark., was thrown and stomped during the Cowboy Christmas Youth Challenge.

Nineteen-year-old Clay Smith of Broken Bow, Okla., said Hedgepeth was unable to let go of the rope tied to the bull, and was thrown as the bull jumped in circles. He said rodeo clowns freed

Hedgepeth, but the bull then attacked him.

Lauderdale officialswon’t fight ethics probe

MERIDIAN, Miss. — Lau-derdale County supervisors won’t challenge a prelimi-nary finding by the Missis-sippi Ethics Commission that they violated state law in dis-cussing garbage fees during a recent executive session.

Board attorney Rick Barry said board members advised him not to file a protest.

The Meridian Star had filed a complaint in October with the Ethics Commission after the supervisors’ discus-

sion of garbage fees during a closed meeting called for per-sonnel matters.

The deadline for the county to challenge the Ethics Commission finding was Thursday.

Supervisors have said the conversation was innocent and unplanned.

Violations of Mississippi’s Open Meetings Law carry a maximum fine of $100.

Lawyers to keep hoursat oil claims centers

NEW ORLEANS — The group administering BP’s compensation fund for vic-tims of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill has hired several law firms and a claims admin-istration company to help

people applying for shares of the $20 billion fund.

The Gulf Coast Claims Facility announced today that the lawyers will be staff-that the lawyers will be staff-that the lawyers will be staffing claims offices in Biloxi, Miss., eastern New Orleans and in several cities in Florida.

The GCCF estimates it has paid $2.6 billion to nearly 168,000 claimants in the past four months.

Attorneys for people and businesses suing over the Gulf oil spill want a federal judge overseeing their cases to rein in Ken Feinberg, the fund’s administrator.

The attorneys had argued last week that Feinberg should be told not to offer free legal advice to potential claimants.

‘To noT know hisTory is To repeaT iT

By shelia ByrdThe Associated Press

haTThaTTha iesBUrG — Teacher John Paola says his high school history course in southern Mississippi would be incomplete if it didn’t include an emphasis on the turbulent civil rights strug-gle of America’s South.

For years, the auburn-haired white man has edu-cated stu-dents about activists in their own state who led peaceful demonstra-tions, and the wrath of seg-regationists who channeled violence to repress social change.

Soon, civil rights lessons will be required for students from kindergarten to 12th grade all across Mississippi.

A civil rights/human rights curriculum becomes manda-tory in all public schools for the 2011-2012 school year, five years after Gov. Haley Bar-bour signed the requirement into law.

Civil rights is typically a part of social studies pro-

grams in the nation’s public schools.

In the Vicksburg Warren School District, Superinten-dent Dr. Elizabeth Duran Swinford said, civil rights is already being taught from kindergarten to 12th grade, and the district will adopt the state’s comprehensive curriculum.

“We should never forget the historical perspective of our country,” she said. “I think it’s important for our students to become acquainted with the history of the South.”

State officials believe Mis-sissippi is the first state to

require civil rights studies throughout all grades in its public school systems. Mis-sissippi education officials say the change took some time to implement because they waited to include it in the revision of the social studies framework that was scheduled for 2011.

Barbour said he sees the value in the new curriculum.

“To not know history is to repeat it. And to learn the good things about Missis-sippi and America and the bad things about Mississippi and America is important for every Mississippian,” Bar-bour said during an inter-

view with The Associated Press this month.

Barbour’s comments came just days before he stumbled into a controversy stemming from his own recollection of civil rights history. In a pro-file in the Weekly Standard magazine, Barbour made favorable comments about the White Citizens Council in his hometown, calling it an anti-Ku Klux Klan group.

Several liberal bloggers said Barbour left an inaccu-rate impression of Mississip-pi’s local Citizens Councils, which sought to thwart inte-gration in many areas. Bar-bour has since backtracked, saying he was not trying to downplay the pain that many endured during the South’s segregation era.

Paola, who teaches at pre-dominantly-black Hatties-burg High School, is among those who believe civil rights lessons may have been given short-shrift for decades in a state where 50 percent of public school students are black and 46 percent are white.

“Certain issues are still taboo,” said Paola, 38. “It depends on your demograph-ics. You teach to them, I suppose.”

TVA freezes managers’ payChaTThaTTha anooTTanooTT Ga, Tenn.

(ap) — TVA is freezing the base pay of about 3,500 manag-ers and specialists until 2013.

TVA President Tom Kil-gore said Monday that the fed-eral utility is joining the two-year pay freeze that Congress adopted for 2 million other fed-eral employees.

Though TVA is a federal utility, it no longer receives direct government appropria-tions, so the move won’t save

the government money. Kil-gore says it’s being done in the spirit of the pay freeze.

While the nonunion work-ers at TVA won’t receive pay hikes, they will be eligi-ble for performance-based bonuses. Those workers also just received a pay increase in the fall.

The freeze doesn’t apply to 8,600 union employees of the utility, who negotiate labor contracts with TVA.

Five teens chargedin shooting death

harVharVhar ey, La. (ap) — Five teenage suspects who said they were “looking for someone to rob” were in custody following a police chase and the shoot-ing death of a 39-year-old man, the Jefferson Parish Sher-iff’s Office said.

“These five thugs, who just decided to choose these people as victims, walked in, pulled out weapons, announced the robbery,” sher-iff’s spokesman Col. John For-tunato said Monday.

Fortunato said each of the teens was charged with one count of first-degree murder, illegal possession of a stolen vehicle and resisting arrest by flight.

In custody are a 14-year-old and two 15-year-olds from Harvey; and a 15-year-old and 17-year-old from New Orleans, he said. The 17-year-old and two 15-year-olds admitted firing a gun, Fortunato said. The 17-year-old also admit-

ted firing at police during the chase, he added.

A preliminary investigation found that four men were sit-ting under a carport Sunday night when a group of teens approached them and ordered

t h e m t o surrender their cash at gunpoint. The victims told investi-gators they handed over the money, but, as the sus-pects left, three fired

shots at them.A bullet struck Jose Rolando

Guevara in the face. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Fortunato said the group fled in a sports utility vehicle that had been stolen the night before. A police chase ended when the SUV hit a utility pole and the suspects fled on foot. Fortunato said a K-9 unit joined the pursuit and a hand-gun and money was found in one of the yards the suspects ran through.

Dr. Paul D. MurryChiropractic PhysicianRiver City Chiropractic Clinic, LLCWhat causes back pain?

Answer: Approximately 30 million American adults experience backApproximately 30 million American adults experience backpain at any given moment, making it the second most common rea-pain at any given moment, making it the second most common rea-son for a doctor visit after the common cold. Besides the more obvi-son for a doctor visit after the common cold. Besides the more obvi-ous reasons such as fractures or injuries, explanations for back painvary from muscle spasms and strains to bulging discs, pinchednerves, sciatica and arthritis. Poor posture, tight muscles and spinalmisalignments can cause stress on ligaments and joints resulting inback pain as well. Back pain is the most common condition that chi-ropractors treat. An examination should be performed to rule outmore serious causes of back pain before treating symptoms that aremore likely to respond to chiropractic care.

WASHINGTON — Early in his WASHINGTON — Early in his WASHINGTON —service as President Richard Nix-on’s national security adviser, Henry Kissinger paid a visit to his homeland. The West German gov-ernment suggested to the press that Kissinger intended to visit some relatives. “What the hell are they putting out?” Kissinger vented to his aides. “My relatives are soap.”

Blunt, and true. Kissinger had left Germany in August 1938 as a 15-year-old refugee, three months before Kristallnacht. His grandun-cle, three aunts and other relatives were murdered in the Holocaust.

So it is appalling to hear Kissinger, an epic life later, telling Nixon on a scratchy recording from March 1, 1973: “Let’s face it: The emigration of Jews from the Soviet Union is not an objective of Ameri-can foreign policy. And if they put Jews into gas chambers in the Soviet Union, it is not an American concern. It may be a humanitarian concern.”

Some commentators have attempted to provide a psychologi-cal explanation for this incident, having to do with the struggles of a Jew in an anti-Semitic White House. But this effort is not neces-sary. Kissinger’s words were not

the expression of a quirk but of an argument.

In 1969, he had publicly declared: “We will judge other countries, including communist countries, on the basis of their actions, not on the basis of their domestic ideologies.” This is a commonplace assertion of a school of foreign policy called “realism” — that only the external behavior of regimes really matters, that their internal conduct does not concern American interests. It is a view currently popular, even ascen-dant, among foreign-policy think-ers. Kissinger was merely being unsentimental in its application.

In response to the recent release of the recording, Kissinger said his words “must be viewed in the con-text of the time.” That context was a debate over the Jackson-Vanik

Amendment of 1974. The Soviet government — which both prac-ticed anti-Semitism and resented the brain drain of Jewish depar-tures — had imposed heavy fines on emigres. Sen. Henry Jack-son and Rep. Charles Vanik, sup-ported by American Jewish groups, responded with legislation that linked normal trade relations with the Soviet Union (and other “non-market” economies) to the freedom to emigrate.

Kissinger believed that detente with the Soviet Union was of over-riding importance and that human rights issues should only be raised quietly, on an unrelated diplomatic track. “The Jewish community in this country, on that issue,” he told Nixon, “is behaving unconscionably. It’s behaving traitorously.”

But Jackson-Vanik turned out to be a pivot point in the Cold War. After an initial drop in emigra-tion, the legislation exerted two decades of pressure on Soviet lead-ers, eventually resulting in higher emigration levels. It pressed one of the West’s most powerful ideologi-cal advantages against the Soviet Union by demonstrating the weak-ness of a system that must build walls to keep its people from flee-ing. This emphasis on human rights inspired not only Jewish refuseniks but other groups and nationalities that inhabited the Soviet prison.

Jackson-Vanik was both a rejec-tion of Kissinger’s realism and a preview of Reaganism. It asserted that oppressive regimes are more likely to threaten their neighbors, placing human rights nearer the center of American interests. It ele-vated standards of human dignity that were direct threats to regimes premised on their denial.

Henry Kissinger is not a simple villain, because he is not a simple anything. Complexity is his creed. In other circumstances, he was a friend to the state of Israel. He skill-fully navigated a difficult patch in the Cold War. In later writings, he has recognized the role of ideal-ism in sustaining American global

engagement.This 37-year-old quote does not

characterize an entire career. But it illustrates the narrowness of for-eign policy realism. It has a sadly limited view of power, discounting American ideological advantages in global ideological struggles.

Realists often hold a simplis-tic view of great-power relations, asserting that any humanitarian pressure on Russia or China will cause the whole edifice of global order to crumble. This precludes the possibility of a mature relation-ship with other nations in which America both stands for its values and pursues common interests.

And from this historical episode, it is clear that repeated doses of foreign policy realism can deaden the conscience. In President Nix-on’s office, a lack of human senti-ment was viewed as proof of mental toughness — an atmosphere that diminished the office itself. Realists are often dismissive of Manichean distinctions between good and evil, light and darkness. But in the world beyond good and evil, some may be lightly consigned to the gas chambers.

Scratchy recording reveals the sad limits of realism

Kissinger believed that detente with the Soviet Union was of

overriding importance and that human rights issues should only be raised quietly, on an unrelat-

ed diplomatic track.

CensusSome analysts suggest that

long-term demographic trends favor Democrats over Republi-cans, and this may well be true, especially if Republicans con-tinue to alienate Hispanic voters. However, the trends of the decade now limping to a close, as reflected in U.S. Census results that will determine how repre-sentation in the U.S. House is allocated, seem to favor Republi-cans rather decisively. They also suggest that Americans prefer states with relatively lower taxes and levels of regulation and are willing to migrate to live in such states.

House seats are reallocated every 10 years, mostly by state legislatures. Republicans picked up some 680 seats in state legisla-tures Nov. 2, meaning they will be in a position to control the bound-aries of about 194 House districts (one analyst says 204), more than double the number they con-

trolled last cycle.The reapportionment will

shuffle about 12 seats among 18 states. Warm-weather states including Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and Texas will pick up seats. Ohio and New York each are slated to lose two House seats, while Iowa, Massachusetts, New Jersey and Pennsylvania each will lose one.

That means that six states that went for John McCain in 2008 will pick up electoral votes and House seats, while six states that went for Barack Obama will lose elec-toral votes and House seats. That tracks a long-term trend that sees Americans moving to warm-weather states.

It isn’t just the weather but the political climate that seems to attract migration. This is the first decade since California, now a high-tax state, became a state in 1850 that it has failed to increase its numbers in the U.S. House. By

contrast Texas, with relatively low taxes and a friendly busi-ness climate, grew by 21 percent from 2000-10. Seven of the nine states that do not levy an income tax grew faster than the national average, while the other two — South Dakota and New Hamp-shire — were the fastest-growing states in their regions.

The Census results also show immigration, which had been robust through most of the decade, declining since the hous-ing bubble burst.

Population growth can be a mixed blessing, of course, and some will say California is better off not adding much population. But losing businesses and jobs is hardly helpful. These census results suggest that Americans prefer to live where they are lightly taxed and regulated, and will move to get those conditions. Sacramento should pay attention.

Low-tax states, GOP big winners

Q: Is there another name for my state’s “public advocate”? I cannot locate anything simi-lar in the North Carolina state government quick find in the Gaston County telephone book

nor on the www.nc.gov web-site. — Bob, via e-mail

A: In some states the public

advocates are called ombuds-

men. Other than in your sub-ject line (you wrote “debt col-lectors”) you didn’t indicate why you need one. I’m assum-ing you are having a problem with a debt collector. If you are concerned that they are vio-lating the laws in your state, the attorney general’s office will be the place to get infor-mation. If you want to drop me a note and let me know where your concerns lie, I may very well be able to steer you in a more pointed direction.

Cal-Maine net income downnearly 6 percent on feed costs

JACKSON (AP) — Second-quarter net income at Cal-Maine Foods Inc. fell nearly 6 percent, the company said Monday, citing higher feed costs.

The nation’s biggest egg seller and distributor had already cautioned that corn prices had climbed and would likely stay volatile in the coming year.

Feed costs will be an ongo-ing concern in fiscal 2011, with the cost per dozen chicks pro-duced up by four cents com-pared with a year ago.

Cal-Maine earned $15.2 mil-lion, or 63 cents per share, for the period ended Nov. 27. That’s down from $16.1 mil-lion, or 67 cents per share, a year earlier.

The performance missed the 72 cents per share that analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expected. These esti-mates usually remove one-

time items.Cal-Maine’s stock dropped

by nearly 4 percent, or $1.30, to $32.52 in afternoon trading.

Revenue climbed to $234.5 million from $229.2 million, helped by higher average sell-ing prices.

President and CEO Dolph Baker said egg market prices were close to yearly highs during the quarter. Specialty egg sales continue to grow, he added.

Baker said egg demand was hurt in early September by the nationwide egg recall, but that industry research shows demand is now at pre-recall levels. The nationwide egg recall was related to a salmo-nella outbreak.

Cal-Maine, based in Jackson, also said it will pay a quarterly dividend of about 21.2 cents. The dividend will be paid on Feb. 10, 2011, to shareholders of record on Jan. 26, 2011.

Tainted milk activist paroledBEIJING (AP) — A Chinese

activist who was jailed for pro-testing a massive tainted milk scandal posted a message online today saying he’s been released on medical parole, but his supporters said it might be a way to silence him.

Zhao Lianhai, whose son was among children sick-ened in one of China’s worst food safety scandals, was sen-tenced last month to 2½ years in prison for inciting social disorder. He had campaigned for compensation for families of those killed or sickened by

milk and milk products tainted with the industrial chemical melamine.

State media later said Zhao was seeking medical parole in a possible deal with authorities hoping to tamp public anger over his harsh sentence.

A message posted on a blog from Zhao’s account said he had been released and wants to be left alone.

“I support and thank the government and I feel deeply sorry for the remarks I made against the government in the past,” the message added.

Wall Street? Will he turn to academia instead, calling on a scholar such as Yale Presi-dent Richard Levin? Or will he go with deeply experi-enced insiders such as defi-cit hawk Gene Sperling at the Treasury Department or Jason Furman, the council’s deputy director?

With the jobless rate at 9.8 percent, the private sector struggling to main-tain growth and the public ranking the economy as the top concern, Obama’s han-dling of the issue in coming months is certain to play a part in a re-election bid.

The selection process for the council post has dragged on for months. Summers announced his resignation in September, and many in the administration knew well before then that he planned to return to Harvard Univer-sity after serving two years at the White House.

Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs said he expects Obama to make an announcement in early January, and blamed any delay on the frenzied

legislative session that con-sumed the White House through the end of the year.

The administration’s think-ing on how to fill the job has evolved since Summers announced his resignation. The initial view — inside and outside the White House — was Obama should name a business leader to the post, in an attempt to give the pri-vate sector a greater voice in the administration and ease the perception that the presi-dent is anti-business.

But the administration now believes the relation-ship between Obama and the business community has started to thaw. For example, both sides praised each other following Obama’s meet-ing with CEOs earlier this month. The White House has grown more willing to find another prominent job for a private sector appoin-tee while leaving the council post to an economic heavy-weight who can coordinate the advice Obama is receiv-ing from throughout the administration.

“To get a business person in there, it seems like an odd place,” said Dean Baker, co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research in Washington. “And if he does need some-one from business, I don’t think he would want some-one from Wall Street.”

It’s that Wall Street con-nection that’s been a knock against one of the lead-ing candidates for the job, Altman, founder of Ever-core Partners. Altman does have government experi-ence, though, having served as deputy treasury secretary under President Bill Clinton.

Sperling, another top con-tender, has also dabbled in Wall Street, advising Gold-man Sachs and other finan-cial firms, although he’s most well known for his work in the Clinton and Obama administrations, including his current post as counselor to Treasury Secretary Timo-thy Geithner. Sperling helped craft the 1993 Deficit Reduc-tion Act, and his appoint-ment could show Obama is

serious about his pledge to address the mounting debt and deficit next year.

Levin, who as president of Yale shares Summers’ aca-demic pedigree, is likely to favor stepped up Wall Street regulation. Furman is also said to be in the running for a promotion from the depu-ty’s job.

Both Sperling and Furman would bring an insider’s knowledge of the Obama White House and the presi-dent’s economic policies to the job, attributes that may not necessarily be to their benefit. Critics have accused Obama’s economic advis-ers of not fully grasping the depths of the crisis, and the team’s prediction that the president’s massive stimulus bill would keep unemploy-ment below 8 percent has caused headaches within the administration.

Selecting an outsider to fill the top economic job would help Obama counter the notion that he’s too insu-lar and unwilling to accept advice from outside the

administration. He filled two other high-profile vacancies on his economic team this year from within the admin-istration, replacing Budget Director Peter Orszag with State Department official Jacob Lew, and Council of Economic Advisers chair Christina Romer with Austan Goolsbee, who was serving as a member of the council.

“They should be looking to take things in a new direc-tion,” Baker said. “I don’t think more of the same is the answer.”

Beyond the economic quali-fications of the candidates he’s considering, the presi-dent is also believed to be looking for a council direc-tor who can serve as both a good manager and a team player. For all of Summers’ intellectual heft, he brought along a healthy ego and an often prickly temperament. Rumors swirled of conflict among Summers, Orszag and Romer, a rarity in a White House run by a presi-dent with little patience for drama.

Beck and the Dalai Lama.Hillary Clinton has been

the most-admired woman in the poll 15 times since 1992, when she first appeared fol-lowing her husband’s elec-tion as president. She leads this year with 17 percent, fol-lowed by Palin with 12 per-cent, Winfrey with 11 per-cent, and first lady Michelle

Obama with 5 percent.Rounding out the top

most-admired women, with 2 percent or less: former Secretary of State Condo-leezza Rice, Queen Eliza-beth, actress Angelina Jolie, former British Prime Minis-ter Margaret Thatcher, and, in a three-way tie for ninth place, Burmese democracy

advocate Aung San Suu Kyi and former first ladies Laura Bush and Barbara Bush.

The USA Today-Gallup survey, conducted Dec. 10-12, is based on telephone inter-views with a random sample of 1,019 adults and has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.

he heard someone scream-ing and trying to get out. The survivor said he tried to run back into the building, but there was too much smoke. Butler said the man didn’t want to be identified.

The wood and corrugated metal building burned to the foundation. It was among sev-eral ramshackle metal, brick and wooden buildings along railroad tracks where graffiti-

scrawled freight cars stood.Many of the houses nearby

appeared abandoned, but at least a few were occupied.

Ricky Gordon, who lives in the working-class neighbor-hood in the Upper 9th Ward, said he does volunteer work with the homeless, and they often take refuge in the build-ings when it gets cold.

“I took one guy in last night myself,” he said.

Stranded by Storm

Northeast storm stalls all forms of travelneW yorK (aP) — When

Angela Madsen was pulled off her plane and her wheelchair stayed on board, she knew she was in for a rough night. The paraplegic athlete struggled to get into the bathrooms at Kennedy Airport. Turning the wheels on her borrowed wheel-chair strained her shoulders. Sleeping was impossible.

“I actually got out of it and laid on the floor,” Madsen said.

It was, she said, a miserable time — one that was shared by millions of people Monday, in travails big and small, seri-ous and surreal, after the bliz-zard of December 2010 sucker-punched the northeastern U.S. during one of the busiest travel days of the year.

Air travel in the nation’s busi-est airspace nearly shut down, and thousands of stranded passengers turned terminals into open-air hotels while they waited for planes to take off and land on plowed runways. Flights slowly resumed, although experts said it would likely take several days to rebook all the displaced passengers.

A tractor-trailer skidded off a road and smashed into a house in Maine. A woman went into labor on a New Jersey high-way, causing a traffic jam that stranded 30 vehicles. Rails on the normally reliable New York subway shorted out. Winds top-ping 65 mph ripped power lines,

leaving tens of thousands of people in the dark across New England.

This storm simply didn’t play fair, cold-cocking the Northeast with more than 2 feet of snow on a holiday weekend when everyone seemed to be out of town, groggy with holiday cheer or just unprepared.

In New York, residents out-side Manhattan complained of a sluggish response by snow plow crews who still hadn’t finished clearing the streets. State Sen. Carl Kruger, a Dem-ocrat who represents Brook-

lyn, called the city’s response a “colossal failure.” Fire officials said the unplowed streets and abandoned cars made it harder to respond to emergencies, including a five-alarm, wind-whipped blaze at a Queens apartment building Monday night.

A testy Mayor Michael Bloomberg defended the city’s cleanup effort, saying the crews were being slowed down by abandoned cars on the streets.

“There’s no reason for every-body to panic,” he said. “Our

city is doing exactly what you’d want it to do.”

After spending Sunday night tossing and turning on airport floors, thousands of bleary-eyed travelers spent Monday standing in lines, begging for flights, fighting for taxis and hunting for hotel rooms.

The storm wreaked havoc on almost every form of con-veyance: from the buses at the nation’s busiest terminal near Times Square to the region’s usually punctual commuter trains.

Delegation to confrontIvory Coast president

abIdJan, Ivory Coast (aP) — A delegation of West African leaders went to Ivory Coast today to con-front Laurent Gbagbo and demand that he step down from the presidency or face a possible regional military intervention.

The presidents of Sierra Leone, Benin and Cape Verde arrived in Abidjan, and are due to meet with Gbagbo at the presidential palace after first speaking with the top U.N. envoy in Ivory Coast.

After that, U.N. helicopters will fly the delegation to the Golf Hotel to meet with Alas-sane Ouattara, the interna-tionally recognized winner of the disputed election held one month ago who is headquar-tered at the hotel.

“We are leaving today and returning today after discus-sions with Laurent Gbagbo

of the Ivory Coast and we are sure of getting positive results,” Sierra Leone’s infor-mation and communication minister Ibrahim Ben Kargbo said today.

The U.N. was tasked with certifying the results of the election as part of a peace agreement that ended a 2002-2003 civil war. The U.N. declared that Alassane Ouat-tara won the runoff held one month ago. Gbagbo refuses to concede defeat despite pres-sure from the United States, the European Union and the African Union.

The Economic Community of West African States, or ECOWAS, has overseen mil-itary interventions in West Africa in the past and has said it would use “legitimate force” if Gbagbo does not relinquish power. Ouattara’s camp is con-fident that help is coming.

Italian, Greek anarchists are linked, police sayrome (aP) — Police today

confirmed a link between Ital-ian and Greek anarchists, saying the Italian group that sent parcel bombs to three Rome embassies was responding to an appeal from its Greek counterparts to step up attacks.

The Italian “Informal Anar-chist Federation,” which claimed responsibility for sending mail bombs to the Swiss and Chilean embassies last week, also sent a bomb that was discovered at the Greek Embassy Monday, Car-abinieri Col. Maurizio Mezza-

villa said.The Swiss and Chilean bombs

exploded Dec. 23, wounding the two people who opened them. The Greek bomb was defused without incident.

In Monday’s claim, first reported in Italian daily Corri-ere della Sera, the group said it wanted to show solidarity with detained Greek anarchists and further their agenda of “rev-olutionary violence,” Mezza-

villa said.“We’re striking again, and

we do so in response to the appeal launched by our Greek companions of the Conspir-acy Nuclei of Fire,” the Ital-ian group wrote in the claim, according to Mezzavilla.

A group called Conspiracy Nuclei of Fire claimed respon-sibility for having sent 14 mail bombs to foreign embassies in Athens last month, as well

as to Italian premier Silvio Berlusconi, French President Nicolas Sarkozy and German Chancellor Angela Merkel. Two of the devices exploded, causing no injuries.

Two Greeks, Panagiotis Argyros, 22 and Gerasimos Tsakalos, 24, were arrested Nov. 1 in connection with the mailings, allegedly carry-ing small mail bombs, hand-guns and disguises. They were charged with terrorism-related offenses and are due to go on trial Jan. 17 along with 11 other suspect members of the group.

Afghan police defusemotorcycle bomb

KabUL, afghanistan — Afghan police defused a motorcycle bomb that was meant to go off in the trou-bled southern city of Kanda-har shortly after a suicide car bombing there killed three and wounded 26 people, most of them police, authorities said today.

Police found the explosives-laden motorbike Monday at a busy intersection in the center of the city, the Interior Minis-try said in a statement, about a mile from where the suicide bomber struck near a police compound and a bank in cen-tral Kandahar.

3 suspected U.S. strikeskill 17 in Pakistan

PeSHaWar, Pakistan — Three suspected U.S. missile strikes targeting a militant-riddled tribal region near the Afghan border killed 17 people today, including at least two who were retrieving bodies from the first attack, Pakistani intelligence officials said.

The strikes come in the final days of a year that has seen an unprecedented number of such drone-fired attacks as part of a ramped-up U.S. cam-paign to take out al-Qaida and Taliban fighters seeking sanc-tuary outside Afghanistan.

Twin suicide blastskill 9 in western Iraq

baGHdad — Two suicide bombers blew themselves up Monday in front of a govern-ment office in Iraq’s west-ern Anbar province, killing nine people including family members of security officials who were killed in another bombing at the same place less than a month ago, secu-rity officials said.

Insurgents frequently go after Iraqi government tar-gets in an effort to destabilize the U.S.-backed Iraqi authori-ties, as American troops pre-pare to leave by the end of next year.

SHREVEPORT, La. (AP) — Air Force was strug-gling to run the ball and failed to convert a few great opportunities in the passing game. Instead of growing frustrated and losing focus, the Falcons kept plugging along.

Air Force cashed in when Georgia Tech muffed a punt in the sec-ond half of the Indepen-dence Bowl, getting a go-ahead touchdown run from Jared Tew in a 14-7 victory Monday.

“Our discipline really shined in this game,” Fal-cons defensive tackle Rick Ricketts said. “We liked our game plan go-ing in. “

It was a matchup be-tween the two best rush-ing teams in the country, but the game was largely decided by special teams.

Backup kicker Zack Bell converted the first two field-goal attempts of his career before Tew’s 3-yard run gave the Fal-cons (9-4) the lead for good. Air Force’s only touchdown came four plays after Daniel McK-plays after Daniel McK-plays after Daniel McKayhan’s second muffed punt of the game — the third of four Georgia Tech turnovers.

Divisioncrownsare stillat largeBy The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Three division titles remain undecided heading into the final week of the NFL season: the AFC South, NFC South and NFC West.

Indianapolis wins the AFC South by beating visiting Tennessee on Sunday, or if Jackson-ville loses at Houston. The winner of Sunday’s game in Seattle between the Rams and Seahawks wins the NFC West.

While the AFC wild cards belong to the Jets and either the Ravens or Steelers — whichever doesn’t take the AFC North — five teams have shots at NFC wild cards: Atlanta, New Orleans, Green Bay, Tampa Bay and the New York Giants.

So the AFC is not very complicated, with New England the East winner, Kansas City champion of the West, and either Balti-more or Pittsburgh taking the North. The Steelers hold the tiebreaker over the Ravens and are at Cleveland on Sunday. Bal-timore hosts Cincinnati.

The Chiefs and the AFC South winner will host a wild-card round playoff game.

Things are more unset-tled in the NFC, where Chicago (North) and Phila-delphia (East) own divi-sion titles. Seattle (6-9) could become the first division winner in NFL history with a losing record if it beats St. Louis (7-8) in their finale, which has been flexed to a Sunday night game.

The Packers (9-6) have the inside track for a wild card — win and they are in. The Giants and Bucs must win Sunday to have a shot at a wild card. Tampa Bay travels to New Orleans, Green Bay hosts archrival Chicago, while New York is at Washing-ton to close out the regu-lar season.

Destination playoffsBrees, Saints beat Falcons, clinch postseason berthBy The Associated Press

ATLANTA — The Atlanta Falcons’ goals for the regu-lar season — a division title and home-field advantage through the NFC playoffs — remain in reach. What’s been lost is that feeling of invin-cibility, especially if they face the New Orleans Saints again in a few weeks.

“We’ve got to take a long look at ourselves,” John Abraham said.

Drew Brees threw a 6-yard touchdown pass to Jimmy Graham with less than 31⁄1⁄1 2⁄2⁄minutes remaining, and the defending Super Bowl chaps clinched their return to the postseason with a 17-14 vic-tory over Atlanta on Monday night.

New Orleans (11-4) snapped the Falcons’ eight-game win-ning streak and stopped them from wrapping up the NFC South and home field all the way up to the Super Bowl.

If the teams meet again in the playoffs, a distinct pos-sibility, the Saints know they are capable of winning even at the Georgia Dome — a huge psychological boost in late December.

“Here we are, having won seven of eight,” Brees said.

“It doesn’t matter whether we’re playing on the road or at home. We’re battle-tested.”

OK, so all is not lost for Atlanta (12-3). Far from it. The Falcons merely need to beat Carolina (2-13) at

home on the final week of the season to wrap up their first NFC South title since 2004 and the top seed in the conference.

But this one stung.Atlanta had a chance on the

national stage to silence all those skeptics who wondered if the team with the best record was truly the NFC’s best team.

Not on this night.The Falcons had two crucial

fumbles, breaking a streak of seven straight games without coughing the ball up. Matt Ryan’s two favor-ite receivers were effectively shut down. Roddy White scored the only touchdown for the offense but was held to three catches for 43 yards. Tony Gonzalez managed just two receptions for 12 yards.

“We forced them to do some things they didn’t want to do,” New Orleans safety Roman Harper said. “We made them play left-handed. We disrupted their timing.”

The Saints won even though Brees threw two interceptions in the fourth quarter, the first of which was returned 26 yards for a touchdown by defensive end Chauncey Davis, giving Atlanta its first lead of the night.

Timberwolves smash punchless HornetsBy The Associated Press

MINNEAPOLIS — After a horrendous start to the season, the Minnesota Tim-berwolves are starting to show signs of overcoming their fourth-quarter jinx.

Their latest victory may have been their most com-plete performance of the season, and it came at the

expense of a New Orleans Hornets team that is tum-bling back to earth after an 11-1 start.

Michael Beasley had 30 points, nine rebounds and a career-high seven assists to lead the Timberwolves to a 113-98 over the Hornets on Monday night.

Wes Johnson added a career-high 24 points and made six 3-pointers for the Timberwolves, who have won back-to-back games for just the second time this season.

“That’s the type of team game overall, offensively and defensively, that we’re really pushing our guys to get to,” coach Kurt Rambis said.

Chris Paul had 22 points

and 13 assists for the Hor-nets, who lost their seventh straight road game and are 7-12 since their terrific start.

David West added 23 points, but New Orleans allowed the Timberwolves to shoot 53 percent from the field and 11 for 23 from 3-point range while losing to a team that entered with just seven victo-ries on the season.

“I think this one we’re going to be mad at for a long time,” Paul said. “Of course, you’ve got to get over it, but at the same time, we should have beat this team. Bad, bad, bad loss for us. I don’t know, they just beat us.”

The Timberwolves trailed by three at halftime but Johnson hit four 3-pointers in the third quarter.

Dec. 281958 — Alan Ameche’s 1-yard

touchdown run at 8:15 of over-time gives the Baltimore Colts a 23-17 victory over the New York Giants, the first overtime game in NFL championship history. With a national television audience watch-ing, this game is believed to have made the NFL a challenger to base-ball as the national pastime.

2000 — Robby Portalatin becomes the fourth bowler to roll a 900 series according to the American Bowling Congress. Portalatin, a 28-year-old worker for an auto parts company, accomplishes the feat at Airport Lanes in Jackson, Mich.

2003 — Jamal Lewis becomes the fifth player in NFL history to run for 2,000 yards in a season, gain-ing 114 yards on 27 carries in Bal-timore’s 13-10 overtime victory against Pittsburgh to finish the year with 2,066 yards — second-most in NFL history.

2008 — The Detroit Lions lose to the Green Bay Packers 31-21, making them the first team to go winless through a 16-game season. Green Bay’s Donald Driver (111) and Greg Jennings (101) each have 100 yards receiving. Combined with Ryan Grant and DeShawn Wynn’s 106-yard rushing days, it is the first time in league history a team has a pair of 100-yard rushers and 100-yard receivers in a single game.

COllEgE bASkETbAllLSU dominatesvisiting Southern

BATON ROUGE, La. — For the first time this season, Malcolm White was not in the starting lineup as LSU squared off against Southern on Monday night.

But White responded with his second double-double of the year in the Tigers’ 62-41 victory against the Jaguars. Playing 24 minutes, White scored a season-high 16 points and grabbed 11 rebounds. He made 7 of 11 field goal attempts and matched his season-high in blocked shots with three. Garrett Green got the start ahead of White because of what transpired in a one-on-one drill at practice Sunday. Green beat White 10-2 in the matchup and earned the nod in the starting lineup. Green finished with three points and four rebounds in 15 min-utes. The only other player to score in double figures for the Tigers (8-5) was Ralston Turner, who finished with 15 points. All but three of Turner’s points came in the second half.

Gibbs’ 21 points lead Pitt past Connecticut

PITTSBURGH — Connecticut coach Jim Calhoun warned his players what they would experi-ence at Pitt. The never-let-up defen-sive pressure. A very loud crowd that’s only a few feet off the court and tries to intimidate unsuspect-ing teams.

Ashton Gibbs scored 21 points as Pittsburgh’s balance overcame Kemba Walker’s one-man offense for No. 4 Connecticut, and the No. 6 Panthers easily won the Big East’s first matchup of Top 10 teams by 78-63 on Monday night.

Walker scored 31 points, but missed 17 of 27 shots as Pittsburgh repeatedly limited the Huskies to a single shot in a possession — often a bad one. They shot 31.7 percent, 19 of 60, and had only two scorers with more than 5 points until the closing minutes in the conference opener.

“They came to play, they wanted it and they got it,” a worn-out Walker said.

Piano man to diaper man: John is a dadSir Elton John is holding close

a new tiny dancer.The piano man and husband

David Furnish have become parents to a 7-pound, 15-ounce baby boy born on Christmas Day.

Zachary Jackson Levon Fur-nish-John was born in Califor-nia via a surrogate, whose iden-tity is being protected by the new parents.

Zachary is 62-year-old John’s first child with the 48-year-old Furnish. The couple married in 2005.

Natalie Portman pregnant, engagedNatalie Portman is pregnant with her first

child and is engaged to Benjamin Millepied, the choreographer of “Black Swan.”

A publicist for Portman confirmed Monday that the couple are engaged and expecting, but declined to give any further details. People magazine first reported the news.

The 29-year-old actress and Millepied, a well-regarded ballet dancer and choreographer,

met during the making of “Black Swan,” Darren Aronofsky’s psychological thriller that stars Port-

man as a ballet dancer. She’s been nominated for best actress by the Golden Globes and the Screen Actors Guild.

Millepied played a small on-screen role in the film as a dancer.

Morissette gives birth to a baby boyIt’s a boy for Alanis Morissette and Mario “Souleye” Treadway.A representative for the 36-year-old singer said in an e-mail

Monday that Ever Imre Morissette-Treadway was born Dec. 25. The e-mail says “all are healthy and happy.”

Morissette, whose songs include “Ironic” and “You Oughta Know,” has won several Grammys, including album of the year for 1995’s “Jagged Little Pill.”

She also earned a Golden Globe nomination for best original motion picture song for “Wunderkind” from “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe,” and appeared as God in Kevin Smith’s 1999 film “Dogma.”

Thieves ditch TV too big for getaway carThieves who stole a large television from a Sacramento home

were thwarted when it wouldn’t fit in the getaway car, police in California said.

Investigators said the burglars entered the home through a back window Sunday afternoon, removed the TV and tried to load it into their Lexus. When it proved too big, they left it on the curb and drove away.

A neighbor witnessed the crime and called the police, who traced the car to a 19-year-old man. The suspect was arrested on suspicion of possession of stolen property.

Police are still looking for two suspected accomplices.


Library of Congress fiLm piCks

‘Empire Strikes Back’ among 25 added to registrybaLTimore (ap) — Darth

Vader proclaiming he’s Luke Skywalker’s father, Tony Manero preening in his under-wear and an early 20th-century deaf activist speaking in sign language are among the images that will be preserved by the Library of Congress as part of its National Film Registry.

The 25 films selected this year include “The Empire Strikes Back,” the 1980 sequel to “Star Wars” that many crit-ics and fans consider the best of George Lucas’ six “Star Wars” films. “Empire” shocked mov-iegoers with the revelation that masked villain Darth Vader was the father of hero Skywalker.

While Lucas didn’t direct “Empire” — he entrusted it to the late Irvin Kershner — he got another film selected for the registry: the student short “Electronic Labyrinth: THX 1138 4EB.” Lucas’ “Star Wars” and “American Graffiti” are also among the 550 titles in the registry.

The Library of Congress announced the selections early today. The goal of the registry, which began in 1989, isn’t to identify the best movies ever made but to preserve films with artistic, cultural or histor-ical significance.

Librarian of Congress James H. Billington has chosen each of the films in the registry, cull-ing them from suggestions by the National Film Preservation Board and by the public. More than 2,100 films were nomi-nated by the public in 2010.

Original copies of films picked for the registry are kept safe and available for viewing by future generations. The library acquires its own copies to pre-serve in its cold-storage vaults among millions of other record-ings at the Packard Campus of the National Audio-Visual Conservation Center near Cul-peper, Va.

Film can rapidly deteriorate if improperly stored. About half the films produced before 1950 and 90 percent of those made before 1920 have been lost, Bil-lington said.

This year’s selections also

include “Saturday Night Fever,” John Badham’s 1977 disco musical starring John Travolta as Tony Manero, the working-class youth known for his impressive moves on the dance floor at a Brooklyn nightclub.

It’s one of five selections from the 1970s. The others are Robert Altman’s revision-ist Western “McCabe & Mrs. Miller”; William Friedkin’s horror classic “The Exorcist”; “All the President’s Men,” Alan J. Pakula’s adaptation of the book by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein; and “Grey Gar-dens,” a documentary about Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis’ eccentric relatives.

The selections date back to 1891, with one of the first motion pictures ever made: “Newark Athlete,” a short film of a teenager swinging Indian clubs, an exercise aid. The film was made at the Edison Labo-ratory in West Orange, N.J., by two pioneers of motion-picture camera technology.

Another obscure title is 1913’s “Preservation of the Sign Lan-guage,” a two-minute film of George Veditz, one-time pres-ident of the National Associa-tion of the Deaf of the United States. Veditz was one of the first to make motion picture recordings of American Sign Language, and in the film, he argues forcefully for the right of deaf people to sign instead

of speak.“That was a great revelation,”

Billington said.As in the past, the selections

show the Library of Congress has a sense of humor. Two broad comedies — “Airplane!” the 1980 disaster-film spoof, and “The Pink Panther” (1964), star-ring Peter Sellers as the bum-bling Inspector Clouseau — were tapped for preservation.

The most recent films chosen were “Study of a River,” an experimental 1996 film about the Hudson River, and “Mal-colm X,” Spike Lee’s 1992 biog-raphy of the civil rights leader.

publishing house Alfred A . K n o p f confirmed Monday that it had struck a deal with the 39-year-

Assange, speaking to The Sunday Times, said the deal would bring in more than $1 million, with $800,000 from Knopf and another $500,000 from U.K. publisher Canongate. But he said he only agreed to it because he was under financial pressure.

“I don’t want to write this book, but I have to,” he said.

Readers prove it’s never too late in life to find true loveDear Abby: I am respond-

ing to “Single Still in Little Rock” (Nov. 6), the 34-year-old woman who is anxious about whether she’ll ever marry. I married for the first time at 67. After retiring from a 45-year career in nursing, I met a won-derful, caring and interesting man who had lost his first wife years earlier. Neither “Sam” nor I was looking for a spouse at the time. (Truthfully, I had given up.) We were introduced by a mutual friend at church and soon knew we were meant to be together.

My advice to “Single” is to continue living a full and pro-ductive life, remain open to making new friends, look for a man who had a happy first marriage and don’t give in to your anxieties. My husband and I know our time together is limited. We strive to make the most of every day, over-looking small and unimport-ant differences, and focusing on making each other happy. I am an integral part of Sam’s family, including his sons and

their offspring. It’s a wonder-ful life, and I’m grateful I was able to endure some loneli-ness when I was younger for all that I have now. — Rose in Tucson

Dear Rose: Your letter is inspiring. “Single Still” requested that I ask readers for their success stories in finding love “later in life,” and true to form you responded in huge numbers. Bless you all! Read on:

Dear Abby: For many years I desperately wanted to be mar-ried. Therefore, I measured everyone who asked me out as a possible husband and either scared them away or allowed myself to be used. Finally, after living in a number of large

cities, my career moved me to a tiny rural town. By then I had lost hope of finding Mr. Right, so I quit looking.

Best thing I ever did! I learned to enjoy life for what it offered each day, not pine for a mate. I found myself enjoy-ing friendships with men because I saw them as friends, not potential husbands. Out of the blue, some pals arranged a blind date with “the only eli-gible bachelor” left in town. We were married less than six months later — at ages 34 and 38 — and just celebrated our 21st anniversary. — Loving My Life in Minnesota

Dear Abby: I consider my “failed” relationships oppor-tunities to learn something. The main lesson is I must love who I am first and be less concerned about where a relationship is going. When you’re happy, pursuing your own interests and developing yourself as a person, some-one with a similar perspective will come along. Instead of bemoaning my single status,

I’m on Internet dating sites — a great platform for meeting people who share my inter-ests. — Sondra in Tennessee

Dear Abby: I held off on marrying until my career was stable. My wife and I married when we were 35. For years we have traveled without worry-ing about baby sitters or being home by a certain time. We have formed friendships with other childless couples and share “family” holidays. We dote on our nieces and neph-ews. If “Single” still wants chil-dren and is concerned about the health aspects of preg-nancy at an older age, adop-tion is available. — Married Man in Texas

Dear Abby: At age 30, with the help of a therapist, I real-ized I was approaching this thing all wrong. Instead of dating men who were look-ing at me, I was running after every gorgeous guy I saw. It didn’t work, so I stopped chas-ing and let myself be chased. I was married in five years. Love isn’t always “at first

sight.” — Been There in Oak-land, Calif.

Dear Abby: I use my single status in service to others — volunteering on “date nights,” involving myself in local poli-tics, being active in church and having a stellar career. I have no regrets, and am sad for the women I know who are lonely in their marriages. “Single”

should count her blessings that she hasn’t said “I do” to “Mr. Wrong.” — Single and Not Sorry in Florida

Burow’s solution usedto treat ear infections

Dear Dr. Gott: Have you ever heard of treating an ear infec-tion with Burow’s solution? Are you supposed to mix it with vinegar and, if so, what is the proper mixture? Thanks for your help. I love your column.

Dear Reader: Burow’s solu-tion is aluminum acetate or acetic acid (vinegar) in water that is used to reduce or relieve inflammatory conditions such as swelling, bruises, insect bites and rash caused by poison ivy or sumac. It is often applied as an eardrop remedy in a 13 percent solution because of antibacterial properties that inhibit the growth of bacte-ria. Some suppliers offer pre-packed gauze compresses that are used in medical settings for stasis ulcers prior to the appli-cation of a dry, sterile dress-ing; however, because the solu-tion is an acid (albeit weak), the time a compress is left on the wound must be adhered to. Solutions for ulcers can be a mixture of 1-to-20, meaning 50 milliters in a liter of tap water as directed by a skin specialist. The remedy is also available in tablet form. Directions for the tablet-to-water ratio vary. The strength depends on the reason for using the product. One can make Burow’s solution with a 1-to-10 ratio of vinegar to water. This is an accepted remedy for otitis externa (swimmer’s ear). Be sure to consult your physi-cian before trying this home remedy to be sure that you do not have a more serious condi-tion for which it will not work.

There is another aspect to this product, as well. It should not be administered to pets except under the supervision and guidance of a veterinarian. Yes, you read this correctly. This dual-purpose product is used for pets as well as humans. I guess it is similar to using Bag Balm for cracked fingers and heels, or glucosamine for pain-ful joints. Maybe Rover should really be considered a family member if he isn’t already.

Dear Dr. Gott: I am a 54-year-old female in fairly good health. The only medications I take are Buspar and Dexilant.

I would like to know if you could tell me why I smell metal all the time. My husband and son don’t, but I do. Do I need to have blood work done to find the cause? Thank you for your response.

Dear Reader: One of your medications may cause this smell. The Dexilant is com-monly used for erosive esophagitis caused by acid reflux. Reflux can cause bad breath and a metallic taste (and possibly scent). The medica-tion itself can also cause breath odor.

Other possibilities include your brain registering a scent that isn’t present or becom-ing more sensitive to odors others don’t detect. Further causes include pregnancy, bad breath, migraine, a history of head trauma, exposure to cer-

tain chemicals, a side effect of anesthesia or a cold or sinus infection. Depression, anxi-ety or other psychological dis-turbances can also cause an altered sense of smell.

I suggest you speak to your physician about this. Perhaps a referral to an ear-nose-and-throat specialist is in order.

•Write to Dr. Peter Gott in care of United Media, 200 Madison Ave., 4th fl., New York, NY 10016.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Before pushing yourself be-yond your limits, be absolutely certain that what you are doing is what you really want. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Getting in a few digs about peo-ple you dislike might make you feel vindicated, but it will do nothing for your image in the eyes of your audience.Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — Don’t give excessive consider-ation to someone who is a dominating, older individual. Aries (March 21-April 19) — If you can, put off any work that requires some kind of a partnership arrangement in order to be accomplished. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — It would be far wiser to take care of each job as it arises instead of letting things pile up. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Unless you are an expert, don’t re-sist if you are challenged on a position you’ve taken. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Avoid discussing finances with anybody, especially with your mate.Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Most relationships are likely to be a bit touchy, so tread softly and very carefully. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Try to limit your spending to essen-tials because, with few exceptions, most of what you do is likely to be wasteful and unnecessary. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — If you find yourself in a blue study, a number of knotty problems will result if you can’t be civil to those who are close to you. Stay away or shut your pie hole.Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — When it comes to things that have occurred in the past, forgo bringing up disturbing inci-dents. Let bygones be bygones, and strive to be forgiving and forgetful about old slights or harsh words.Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — When out with friends who are splitting the tab, don’t complain about your share, even if you only drank Champale when your pals drank champagne.

Dr. Wallace: My grandfather died two months ago, so my grandmother now lives with us. When she lived in her own house, I liked her a lot and was happy to see her, but things have changed since she moved in. She used to be sweet and nice, but now she has turned out to be a tremendous busybody.

I’m 16 and consider myself to be independent. I am a pretty good kid. I’m on the honor roll at school, teach Sunday school to the younger children and have never been involved in drugs, tobacco, alcohol or sex. I’m pretty proud of that. There aren’t many teens who can claim that in this day and age. But instead of being proud of me, Grandma is always complaining. She doesn’t like my clothes, my friends, my hair, my makeup or the food I eat. She doesn’t even like my darling little pet pooch. She always says he has fleas, when he doesn’t.

Yesterday, I brought over a male friend (not my boyfriend), and she got all hot and bothered because he had long hair and a goatee. She constantly sticks her nose in my business when she should be taking a nap, watching television or anything else most normal grandmothers do. I’ve talked to her several times and asked her to butt out (in a nice way), but she continues to be a huge pest. It’s to the point that I don’t want to bring my friends over because she always has some smart remark to say.

Don’t get the picture wrong. This is not some wrinkled old doll who has nothing to do but be nosy. My grandmother is only 55 years old, and please don’t refer to her as a senior citizen. She has her own car, checkbook and circle of friends. If I didn’t re-spect my grandfather so much, I’d be thrilled if she found a boy-friend. Any help you can give will be appreciated. My dog, Foo Foo, will also appreciate your help.

My parents just laugh when I complain. Last night I told my mom that Grandma was being bossy and nosy. All my mom said was, “Thank goodness she’s on your case, not mine.” — Nameless, Vicksburg, Miss.

Nameless: Generally, grandparents are terrific human beings and the love between grandparent and grandchild is everlast-ing. It’s obvious that your parents are not aware of the sever-ity of the conflict between you and your grandmother. May-be when they see your letter in the newspaper, they’ll realize it’s time to do more than respond to your unhappiness with a joke. Obviously, something needs to be done to allow you all to live together; it probably should begin with a family discussion about respect, courtesy and the rights of others.

With your grandfather’s death, Grandma has lost much that is familiar to her. She needs time to adjust and find her way again. For your sake, I hope the adjustment period is short and she soon turns back into the sweet, loving grandma you need to know.
