Tornado tears through southern Mississippi

A tornado touched down in southern Mississippi on Sunday, injuring more than a dozen people and causing widespread damage.

So far, no one has been reported killed, which authorities hope will remain true.

"We're really blessed because we don't have a fatality that we know of right now, and no major injuries. But we have a number of major damages to our structures around town," said Johnny DuPree, mayor of Hattiesburg, where the tornado hit.

"If there is a good thing about this, it happened on a Sunday when most of these structures were vacant," he said.

Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant declared a state of emergency in four counties: Forrest, Lamar, Lawrence and Marion.

Hattiesburg, which straddles Forrest and Lamar counties, is home to the University of Southern Mississippi. It suffered damage to several buildings, but there were no reports of injuries there. University police declared a state of emergency and urged those not on campus to stay away until further notice.

Nearby Oak Grove High School also suffered damage. Randy Wright posted photographs to his Twitter account of the school, showing debris strewn on what looked to be a parking lot and a truck upside down in a baseball diamond.

The Hattiesburg Public School District canceled classes Monday. The university campus will also be closed.

"There's quite a few homes without power at this point. Quite a few trees on houses, on cars, that type of thing," said Forrest County Sheriff Billy McGee.

He said that from 10 to 15 people were taken to the hospital, but that none suffered serious injuries. Another three were reported injured in nearby Marion County.

Bioethics leader calls for bold approach to fighting obesity

Daniel Callahan finds a lesson in the anti-smoking campaign

(Garrison, NY) Arguing that obesity "may be the most difficult and elusive public health problem the United States has ever encountered" and that anti-obesity efforts having made little discernible difference, Daniel Callahan, co-founder and President Emeritus of The Hastings Center, proposes a bold and controversial approach to fighting the epidemic.

Callahan says that the public health community can learn from one of the most successful public health campaigns: the anti-smoking campaign. A primary strategy has been to stigmatize smokers, he says, making it clear that their behavior is not only unhealthy for them but is also socially unacceptable. While the public health community has decisively rejected the stigmatization of obesity, Callahan directly challenges that rejection.

In "Obesity: Chasing an Elusive Epidemic," an article in the Hastings Center Report, Callahan says that what he calls "stigmatization lite," if used carefully, could provide an important strategy in the strikingly unsuccessful effort to help the 67 percent of Americans who are overweight or obese lose weight. He cites estimates that no more than 10 percent of those who try to lose weight succeed in the long run.

Callahan does not deny that stigmatization can do harm, such as increasing the risk of discrimination in the workplace and health care. But he believes that that risk would be minimized by "stigmatization lite," in which people who are overweight consider the threat of discrimination itself as a danger to be avoided: "don't let this happen to you!" His aim is to complement, not replace, public health strategies that would bring to bear a strong government hand, making use of laws and regulations and subsidizing healthy foods, good medical counseling, and special efforts at obesity prevention programs for children.

And look what happened after I served it. Yes? all quickly gone.

It must have been good if I can say so myself

Chia seeds?grow 10 times their weight in size when combined with liquid, helping the body stay hydrated and full. The word ?chia? comes from the Aztec word that means ?oily? ? the oils found in this small little round seed is the secret to its health benefits. Having the most content of omega 3 fatty acids of any plant food, they fight inflammation in the body, reducing the chance for heart disease, Alzheimer?s, and depression.

George Will: Because penalties for not buying insurance are limited ...

George Will explains in today?s Washington Post that Chief Justice John Roberts may have temporarily rescued Obamacare by finding it to be constitutional, but by limiting the penalties for not buying health insurance, he may have made the Affordable Care Act (ACA) unworkable and put it on a path to ultimate extinction. Here?s why:

The point of the penalty to enforce the [health insurance] mandate was to prevent healthy people ? particularly healthy young people ? from declining to purchase insurance, or dropping their insurance, which would leave an insured pool of mostly old and infirm people. This would cause the cost of insurance premiums to soar, making it more and more sensible for the healthy to pay the ACA tax, which is much less than the price of insurance.

Chief Justice John Roberts noted that a person earning $35,000 a year would pay a $60 monthly tax and someone earning $100,000 would pay $200 per month. But the cost of a qualifying insurance policy is projected to be $400 a month. Clearly, it would be sensible to pay $60 or $200 rather than $400 per month, because if one becomes ill, ?guaranteed issue? assures coverage and ?community rating? means that one?s illness will not result in higher insurance rates.

But Roberts?s decision limits Congress?s latitude by holding that the small size of the penalty is part of the reason it is, for constitutional purposes, a tax. It is not a ?financial punishment? because it is not so steep that it effectively prohibits the choice of paying it. And, Roberts noted, ?by statute, it can never be more.? ?.the penalty for refusing to purchase insurance counts as a tax only if it remains so small as to be largely ineffective.

Because the penalties are constitutionally limited by the reasoning whereby Roberts declared them taxes, he may have saved the ACA?s constitutionality by sacrificing its feasibility. So as the president begins his second term, the signature achievement of his first term looks remarkably rickety.

Murray through to quarterfinals at Australian Open

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) ? Five months after he ended a 76-year drought for British men in Grand Slam tournaments with a win at the U.S. Open, Andy Murray is into the quarterfinals at the Australian Open and on track to make it two in a row.

The third-seeded Murray easily beat Gilles Simon of France 6-3, 6-1, 6-3 on Monday for his fourth straight-sets win in a row. He will play unseeded Frenchman Jeremy Chardy in the quarterfinals.

Simon, coming off a tough five-set win over fellow Frenchman Gael Monfils, clearly wasn't in any shape to challenge Murray.

"After the first few games, I mean, it didn't feel like that competitive," Murray said. "Sort of at this stage of a Grand Slam you're sort of gee'd up and prepared for a tough battle. That's why it becomes hard because the emotions aren't quite into it."

Serena Williams had a similarly easy time advancing to the quarterfinals and a chance to win her third major in a row with a 6-2, 6-0 win over Maria Kirilenko. She's still on course for a potential semifinal meeting with defending champion Victoria Azarenka, who advanced with a 6-1, 6-1 victory over Elena Vesnina.

"I didn't expect to come out and play so well tonight," Williams said. "I was like 'Wow!' I saw I had 95 percent first serves in the first set. I said 'Who is this girl?' It's not me usually."

Williams has lost only one match since her first-round exit at the French Open last year. Since then, she has won Wimbledon, Olympic gold, the U.S. Open, the season-ending WTA championships and a Brisbane International title.

Her 57-minute win over Kirilenko extended her current winning streak to 20 matches.

The 31-year-old Williams can become the oldest woman to hold the No. 1 ranking by winning her sixth Australian Open title. She next plays 19-year-old American Sloane Stephens, who reached the quarterfinals at a major for the first time with a 6-1, 3-6, 7-5 win over Bojana Jovanovski of Serbia.

Second-seeded Roger Federer, who could meet Murray in the semifinals, was playing Canadian Milos Raonoic in the second night match on Rod Laver Arena.

Chardy followed his upset of 2009 U.S. Open champion Juan Martin del Potro with a 5-7, 6-3, 6-2, 6-2 win over another highly-ranked player, No. 21 Andreas Seppi, in the fourth round.

Another Frenchman to advance was seventh-seeded Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, who beat friend and compatriot Richard Gasquet 6-4, 3-6, 6-3, 6-2 in the fourth round.

Tsonga, who lost the 2008 Australian Open final to top-ranked Novak Djokovic, could meet Roger Federer in the quarterfinals if the 17-time Grand Slam champion beats Canadian Milos Raonic later Monday at Rod Laver Arena.

Waiting on the other side of the draw is Djokovic, who could meet Federer or Murray in the final and plays his quarterfinal match Tuesday against Tomas Berdych. Djokovic advanced to the quarters after a 5-hour, 2-minute fourth-round win over Stanislas Wawrinka in the early hours Monday.

Azarenka's fourth-round win was as impressive as Williams'.

"It's getting there ... with every match you start building up for the top battles starting now," said Azarenka, who needed only 57 minutes to beat the 47th-ranked Vesnina. "It's really exciting to be again so far in the tournament."

Azarenka started last season with a 26-match winning streak, including a lopsided victory over Maria Sharapova in the Australian Open final. She moved to No. 1 in the rankings with that win and has remained there for all but a few weeks ever since.

But she needs to defend her Australian title to prevent French Open champion Sharapova or Williams from claiming No. 1.

Next up for Azarenka is a quarterfinal against Svetlana Kuznetsova, who entered the season's first major ranked No. 75 but has won titles at the 2004 U.S. Open and 2009 French Open.

After five breaks of serve in the third set, Stephens broke Jovanovski and then held to advance ? knowing her parents and grandparents were watching on TV.

"I'm sure my mother's had like four heart attacks," Stephens joked after the see-saw match. "I hope my Grandpa didn't have to put my Grandma to bed, because she gets a little worried."

Williams, who has rated Stephens a potential world No. 1, beat the 19-year-old American in straight sets two weeks ago at the Brisbane International, one of the warm-up tournaments for the Australian Open.

Stephens is looking forward to a rematch, where there won't be any major surprises.

"It will be tough, obviously ... it's quarters of a Grand Slam," she said. "There won't be that like first time, 'Oh, my God, I'm playing Serena'. That's kind of out of the window now. So that's good. And then it will feel more of like a regular match instead of all the other like things to think about."

Kuznetsova was given a time warning for taking too long during a changeover in her 6-2, 2-6, 7-5 win earlier Monday over former No. 1 Caroline Wozniacki, but said it didn't bother her.

As for Wozniacki, after twice failing to win her breakthrough major as the No. 1-ranked woman at the Australian Open, she is now expected to drop out of the top 10 after a fourth-round loss that follows back-to-back first-round exits at Wimbledon and the U.S. Open.

Kuznetsova is moving in the other direction on her comeback from a right knee injury that ruled her out of the last U.S. Open, ending a run of contesting 40 consecutive majors. And she's looking forward to taking on Azarenka.

"The time I played in Indian Wells was totally a disaster. I got (beaten) very badly," she said. "But, I mean, she's tough. She's No. 1. I have nothing to lose. She has all the pressure.

"I know I got the game to give her some problems, and I will just do my best and just try to enjoy it."
