University of Mississippi student David Bradley Tag-gart, 21, was confirmed dead by Madison County Coro-ner Alex Breeland yesterday evening, according to WAPT of Jackson.

Friends close to Taggart on campus said his death was the result of a gunshot wound.

Taggart was a junior busi-ness student this past fall.

Dean of Students Sparky Reardon said he had not heard anything official as of this report but the loss is dev-astating if true.

“To lose a student is very painful to the university,” Reardon said. “Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family, especially his brother Drew, who was Associated

Student Body president dur-ing his time here. We’re think-ing and praying for them.”

The Madison Police De-partment could not confirm

or deny any reports Tuesday.Mitchell Diggs, University

of Mississippi spokesperson and associate director of me-dia and P.R., said Taggart had no record of being enrolled this past spring semester.

David is the son of Madi-son lawyer Andy Taggart and his wife Karen. His brothers Drew and Rob are both cur-rently enrolled in graduate programs at the university, law and business respective-ly.

This is the second Univer-sity of Mississippi student to have died this week. Caro-line Bartley, a biology soph-omore, and her parents died in a plane crash near Tupelo on Sunday.

Details concerning both students’ deaths will be re-ported as they become avail-able.

State fails to reform child welfare systemThe Mississippi Division of Family and Children’s Services failed to meet certain state-mandated reforms, leaving them vulnerable to a contempt of court lawsuit if progress is not made soon.

Mississippi’s child welfare sys-tem has failed to show meaning-ful progress toward instituting court-ordered reforms, accord-ing to a recent report filed by a court-appointed monitor.

The system changes are de-signed to improve the quality of life for children in the state’s care and protect their rights. It also includes requirements like caps on social worker caseloads and time frames for child abuse investigations.

The local office of the Divi-sion of Family and Children’s Services declined to comment on the matter.

The reforms were stipulated in a settlement agreement follow-ing Olivia Y. v. Barbour, a class action lawsuit brought against the state alleging that the state had violated the rights of over 3,000 children in its custody.

The lawsuit was filed on be-half of the children by the non-profit children’s advocacy orga-nization Children’s Rights.

Senior Staff Attorney at Chil-dren’s Rights Miriam Ingber described the organization as “a non-profit that focuses on child welfare.”

“We focus on changing the system through court-enforce-able class-action lawsuits,” she said.

Ingber said litigation that produces court-enforceable re-quirements for state care is a powerful tool in protecting the rights and well-being of chil-dren in state care.

“There are very significant implementation problems in many areas,” she said. “Serious safety problems exist: in cases of reported abuse, almost 80 percent of children were not visited by their social worker within the time limits imposed by the agreement.”

The reforms were implement-ed to alleviate the dismal prob-lems plaguing the state’s child welfare system, said Ingber.

“We filed our original law-suit (in 2004) after an in-depth investigation yielded reports of overburdened caseworkers and children being placed in unsuit-able homes, among other prob-lems,” she said.

In addition to the reforms mandated by the agreement reached, the court appointed a monitor to gauge the state’s progress in meeting these re-

UM STUDENT CONFIRMED DEAD TUESDAY IN MADISONDavid Bradley Taggart, 21 of Madison, was confirmed dead yesterday evening. This is the second Ole Miss student death this week, as Caroline Bartley died Sunday in a plane crash.

West Nile Virus has not dis-appeared in the South, despite the low number of reported cases.

The Mississippi State De-partment of Health (MSDH) reported three human cases of the West Nile Virus (WNV) this past week. The report was last updated July 3, and three different counties have been affected this year: Hancock, Lauderdale and Lincoln. Mosquitoes in Forrest, Lin-coln, Rankin and Pike county tested positive for the virus as well.

Director of University Health Services Barbara Col-lier said no students at the University of Mississippi have come to the health cen-ter with WNV. At this point,

Lafayette County has not had any reported cases.

Collier said the majority of these cases happen in the central or southern part of the state. No northern coun-ties reported any cases of the virus this year. There were 52 reported cases last year, how-ever, five of which resulted in death.

District Health Officer Dr. Roma Taylor advises Missis-sippians to avoid mosquitoes entirely if possible.

“They carry a lot of diseas-es,” Taylor said. “(WNV) is prevalent this time of year.”

Taylor suggests people carry insect repellent that contains DEET. She also said make sure to remove items that will collect standing water be-cause it is the perfect breed-ing ground for mosquitoes. Used or discarded tires have

become a popular breeding ground, too, and strong per-fumes can occasionally attract them.

Taylor said to be careful around dawn and dusk be-cause those are the times of day mosquitoes are most prevalent. When possible, wear long sleeve shirts and pants.

“The best prevention is pre-ventative action,” Taylor said.

Symptoms of WNV can eas-ily go unnoticed because they can be mild. These include generalized aching, rash, headaches, nausea, vomiting and eye pain. In severe cases, the virus can cause encepha-litis or meningitis which can result in death.

Symptoms typically last three to six days, but informa-

Three reported cases of West NileThough no cases of West Nile Virus have been reported in North Mississippi, residents should exercise caution.

OPiNiONPAGE 2 | THE DAILY MISSISSIPPIAN | 11 JULY 2012 | OPINION

CARTOON BY JOSH CLARK | @dm_toons | The Daily Mississippian

Every year, students across Mississippi take a number of tests calculated into reflections of school and district perfor-mance. These calculations help provide school officials with an accountability rating for each school.

The State Accountability Rat-ing System was revised in 2009 to move the state toward the goal of national average per-formance. The System formula includes portions for achieve-ment, growth and high school completion. These three vari-ables determine where along the spectrum a school or dis-trict falls.

The achievement portion is known as the Quality Distri-bution Index (QDI) which is calculated using the percent of students that scored at each as-sessment level: Minimal, Basic, Proficient and Advanced. A school gets zero points for each percentage point at Minimal, one point for Basic, two points for Proficient and three points for Advanced, with a maxi-mum total of 300 (100 percent of students at Advanced).

The QDI for a school is then compared to the Cut Score Ranges. The original 2009 pro-posal called for QDI cut scores to have a top range of above 200 and a bottom range of be-low 100 with three other levels in between. The top range cut score was supposed to phase-in to 240 by the year 2012, with the other ranges increasing as well while the bottom range re-mained at below 100.

However, in 2010 and again

in 2011, the Mississippi Depart-ment of Education decided to delay the phase-in of the cut scores. Thus, the original plan of the board to increase the QDI necessary for a school to obtain Star status has been delayed. The question is: Why has MDE chosen to delay the phase-in of Cut Score Ranges?

The answer is actually quite simple when it is broken down. Using the delayed Cut Score Ranges for 2011 (i.e. the same cut scores as 2009), Mississippi had four Star Districts and 65 Star Schools. However, if the original phase-in had taken place, then Mississippi would not have had a single district in 2011 qualify for Star status and the number of Star Schools would drop from 65 to 10.

The decision to delay the phase-in was nothing more than an attempt to keep Missis-sippians in the dark about how poorly schools and districts are

really performing. The original intention of the 2009 revision was to raise the bar each year for Mississippi schools. Instead, MDE has decided that that bar should not be raised, which in actuality lowered the expecta-tions of school performance.

Rather than clearly show how much work needs to be done to get Mississippi’s schools to even come near the national average, MDE wants to pro-vide everyone with a false sense of reality. After all, in MDE press releases, it sounds a whole lot better to say that 65 schools obtained Star status in-stead of just 10.

It’s time that Mississippians stepped up and held the MDE accountable to properly pres-ent reality with the State Ac-countability Rating System.

Dear Editor,

I am responding to Shan-non Richardson’s July 5 Let-ter to the Editor.

1) Quoting the American Cancer Society, “second hand smoke can cause harm in many ways.” They then list deaths possibly (their word) related to SHS. The diction-ary defines “can” as “may,” or “has the ability to.” So “can” actually means it’s pos-sible. “Can” does not mean for sure, or probably.

2) The university does have designated smoking areas, but walking across campus, how would one really know? There are two smoking ar-eas by Martindale. There are no signs by either sight to inform, or warn. So, where

OPiNiONOPINION | 11 JULY 2012 | THE DAILY MISSISSIPPIAN | PAGE 3

In light of the recent Su-preme Court decision up-holding the Patient Protec-tion and Affordable Care Act, debates on judicial ac-tivism have risen across the country.

Judicial activism can hold multiple meanings; some people believe that judicial activism is the influence of a Justice’s political views or opinions on public policy when ruling on a case.

Others say that judicial activism hosts a broad in-terpretation of the Consti-tution, in which a Justice also considers the country’s current needs and situation, without the influence of his or her personal political be-liefs.

Judicial restraint, the op-

posite of judicial activism, is a belief that a Justice should only look to the Constitution (taking it literally, without interpretation) and should limit their power when ren-dering a ruling.

I believe that the Supreme Court should consider the country’s current situation, and even consider situa-tions/events in other coun-tries, when making a de-cision. However, I do not believe that a Justice’s per-sonal political views should influence their decision.

Furthermore, I believe the Supreme Court has every right to use their power as much as possible. That is the whole point of the unique checks and balances system operating in our beloved na-tion.

If the Supreme Court does not use its power to the full-est, then it simply becomes acquiescent to the powers of the Executive and Legis-lative branches of govern-ment. When this happens, our entire system becomes

even more corrupt and can fall apart.

Considering other coun-tries’ actions and laws is an important aspect of judicial activism. Why not look to another nation’s success when trying to determine the future of our own coun-try?

America is a powerful na-tion; however, we should be willing to look to other countries for ideas and pro-grams that work well.

Nothing has to be perfect, but we can use other laws and ideas as inspiration for our own. Furthermore, the Supreme Court can look to rulings in other countries when working to make a de-cision.

Modern precedent should play a role in decision-mak-ing; rulings should not be based on a single document that is over two hundred years old.

In my opinion, judicial restraint is comparable to literal fundamentalism in Christianity – believing a

historical document is one hundred percent accurate and should be followed pre-cisely.

Just as the Bible has room for interpretation, so does the U.S. Constitution, which was written over 200 years ago. Obviously, certain as-pects of society have dra-matically changed.

There are certain parts of the Constitution that don’t have the same meaning as they did in late 1788 (the year of ratification).

For example, in 1788, as-sault rifles and high-pow-ered weapons did not exist. I highly doubt the Founding Fathers intended for civil-ians to be carrying powerful, harmful weapons when they created the right to bear arms.

This is just one example of sections where the Constitu-tion is subtle in wording and open to debate and interpre-tation.

When I consider the dif-ferences between judicial re-straint and activism, I always

think: Would I rather a judge used research, common sense and considered other interpretations and mean-ings of the Constitution, or would I rather someone sim-ply took the Constitution at face-value without consider-ing other information?

The Constitution is an authoritative document; it holds such power, force and recognition that to simply take it for face-value would be disrespectful.

Personally, I would prefer a Supreme Court that inter-preted the Constitution and delved into the possible im-plications proposed by our founding fathers. Even if I don’t agree with their par-ticular political opinion or interpretation, I feel that ju-dicial activism is more prac-tical, thoughtful and yields better results for all Ameri-cans.

does the fault lie when the current policy appears to you not to be working? Your com-mittee wants to blame unin-formed smokers.

3) Your committee expresses that the new policy originated with an ASB resolution. One of your committee members writes, “I want to be clear

that the proposal was initiated and developed by members of Student Affairs.” Many staff members know that Staff Council’s first vote on this issue was negative. NEGA-TIVE! Staff Council voted again, after they were visited by a member of Student Af-fairs. The first vote should have been it! I know of NO staff member that was con-tacted for their opinion prior to either vote.

4) I am sorry that anyone

has “suffered a life threatening asthma attack” as a result of coming into contact with SHS on this campus, but I refer to #2 and bring up your men-tioning the enforcement of the current policy. How could the policy have been honestly, ef-fectively, enforced when there are no prominently posted signs indicating where smok-ing is permitted throughout the campus? Vaught-Heming-way stadium has signs, but no-where else that I’ve seen.

A university’s function is to educate. Parenting its stu-dents and staff is not. If Ole Miss is, as it claims, a “public” university when did the “pub-lic,” defined as an entire com-munity, mandate you, “…the responsibility to protect the rights of everyone on campus to breathe smoke free air?”

It is an individual’s deci-sion whether to be concerned about this issue, or not. One can choose to be obsessed, or paranoid, or one can choose

not to care. Either way it is personal choice. Apparently, those that are paranoid and obsessed shall have their way.

Thomas Jefferson wrote, “If the people let government de-cide what foods they eat and what medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as are the souls of those who live under tyr-anny.”

quirements. The reports that monitor issues help the plain-tiff and the public monitor the state’s compliance to the re-forms that were instituted.

The monitor’s most recent report is not the only one that has shown unsatisfactory prog-ress. A less than glowing earlier report led to renewed litigation and modification of the original agreement in 2007.

Ingber said the reforms in-cluded better training for super-visors, caseload limits for social workers, infrastructure changes and other complex changes de-signed to improve the effective-ness of the system at helping the children in its care.

Ingber also said she does not believe the failures are the result of dispassionate or apathetic so-cial workers.

“The social workers working with the children care and are doing everything they can to help these children,” she said. “They are hard working and well intentioned. Systemic is-

sues have made it impossible for social workers to do their job.”

The Division of Family and Children’s Services manages the child welfare system in Mis-sissippi. The division is tasked with placing children in appro-priate homes, investigating al-legations of abuse and neglect and staffing offices with social workers to handle cases appro-priately, among other duties.

The monitor’s most recent report has shown failure on the part of the state to fulfill these duties. Reports continue to surface of understaffed offices leading to improperly handled cases.

If reports continue to show such stunted progress, Chil-dren’s Rights can seek to have the state held in contempt of court.

“This is a really important is-sue,” Ingber said. “It involves some of the most vulnerable children in the state, children who are abused and neglected. The reforms are a crucial step in moving these children toward permanence. We take our ob-ligation to those children very seriously.”

Neck pain is a com-mon, unpleasant sen-sations, and it’s becom-ing increasingly more common. Sometimes referred to as “tech neck,” a stiff, sore neck is often the result of hunching over a lap-top or desktop comput-er for long periods of time. It can also occur if you’re like me and cradle your cell phone between your ear and shoulder. Other com-mon causes are sleep-ing in an awkward position, frequently carrying a heavy bag on one shoulder or just bad posture.

There are a few things you can do to avoid this neck pain and/or to remedy it if you are already experiencing it.

1RelaxA lot of neck and shoul-

der pain occurs because of stress. When we worry about something, most of us get tense and don’t re-alize it. That tension nor-mally gathers in the neck, shoulders and sometimes the forehead. This is why on top of being anxious about something, we of-ten get aches and head-aches as well.

2Eye-LevelTry to keep your computer and books at eye-level

when using or reading them. I know with a laptop this can be difficult, but it will keep you from hunching over your screen which will keep you from doing damage to your neck. 4Change

If your posture is the cul-prit, you’ve got to straight-en up (literally) for your neck to feel any better. I know trying to correct posture is, well, a pain in the neck, but if you don’t you’re going to have aches and pains for years to come. Some circulation and breathing problems have even been linked to something as simple as poor posture.

3YogaI know I write about it a

lot, but yoga is one of the best exercise programs to help correct posture and to strengthen the core muscles, so you have the strength to maintain that correct posture. Plus, it will help strengthen your neck and shoulder muscles as well. You will have to be careful with some poses if you’re already suffering from neck pain to avoid doing further damage. Things like shoul-der stands should be avoid-ed if your neck is bothering you. 5Doctor

No one likes going, but if your neck pain just isn’t going away and/or you’re experiencing other symptoms with it, you should make a trip to the doctor just to make sure it isn’t some-thing more serious.

Avoiding neck pain really isn’t that difficult. We just have to be mindful of how we are treating our neck and make sure we take care of it. Like everything else, it’s easier to make good habits now than to have to try to reverse the effects of poor habits when we’re older. So prop that laptop up a little higher on your desk, sit up straight, and take some deep breaths. You’ll be glad you did.

A new form of exercise has come to Oxford.

In April 2012, Ice Core Fit-ness opened on Van Buren Avenue. The gym focuses on gyrotonics, an exercise that focuses on strengthening the core, as well as elongating the body.

It’s not a one motion exercise, like running or jogging. With machines designed specifically for the exercise, your muscles move in a way they have never moved before.

As a fundraising consultant for a national company, Ice Core Fitness owner and certi-fied instructor Kristina Carlson did a lot of traveling. Airplane seats were not kind to her back or neck, and pilates was the first thing Carlson discovered that could ease her pain.

“Pilates was a godsend – strengthening my core,” she said.

When her pilates instructor in Atlanta suggested Carlson try gyrotonics, she jumped right in. She and her husband then relocated to Oxford, where Carlson wanted to open her own studio.

“I missed having a studio – I’ve always gone to a studio, where you get personal atten-tion,” she said. “There wasn’t this place (in Oxford).”

Carlson said Ice Core Fitness ties into a healthy lifestyle when combined with the healthy eat-ing options available in Ox-ford.

“Part of what I’m trying to do is call attention to all the great healthy things to do in Ox-ford,” she said. “You can have a wonderful, healthy lifestyle in Oxford.

Carlson invited the Tri Delta sorority to come try out the machines and classes for the grand opening. For two weeks

after the opening, the gym in-vited students and Oxonians to experience gyrotonics and Bar-reAmped, another specialty at Ice Core Fitness.

Kristy Cohron has been go-ing to Ice Core Fitness since it opened. Cohron wanted to lose the weight she’d gained while pregnant.

“I saw an ad in Invitation Oxford and told my husband, ‘I want to do that,’” she said.

Cohron just completed the gym’s 21 Day Challenge.

“I lost 13 pounds and six inches off my waist,” she said. “The thing I love is you don’t compare yourself to the person next to you – you just do what you can do.”

Alison Alger, who has known Carlson for a long time, said she was ready and waiting for the studio to open.

“I knew her goals and what classes she’d be teaching,” Al-ger said. “It was just what I was looking for.”

The results keep Alger com-ing back.

Ice Core Fitness features a small boutique with workout gear, a massage room with a Migun Therapy Message Bed and a class studio for group classes or private instruction.

Monthly membership is $125 and includes unlimited classes, a 10 percent discount on items in the boutique and rewards and incentives for reaching fitness milestones. Private in-struction is $60 per session, which lasts 55 minutes. A mas-sage session with the Migun Therapy Message Bed is $35 for a 30-minute massage.

Gyrotonics dates back to 1970, when Julio Horvath arrived in the U.S. When his professional dance career ended due to in-jury, Horvath created “Yoga for Dancers,” better known as Gyrokinesis, or gyrotonics.

strikeout-to-walk ratio on the year. That has to improve for him to have success, especial-ly since he pitches half of his

games at Coors Field. While at Ole Miss, Pomer-

anz was named an All-SEC Freshman, a Freshman All-American, multiple All-Amer-ican teams and was the 2010 Southeastern Conference Pitcher of the Year.

five tackles for a loss and one forced fumble.

“His presence can always be felt on the field and also as a leader,” Wommack said.

Backing him up will be senior Joel Kight. At the stinger position, which is more of a hybrid linebacker, there appears to a battle be-tween senior Aaron Garbutt, redshirt-freshman Denzel Nkemdiche and sophomore All-SEC Freshman performer Serderius Bryant. This battle will be decided in the upcom-ing fall practices.

Defensive LineThe defensive line is the

youngest group of guys on the defense in terms of ex-

perience. At defensive end Chucky Mullins, award-win-ning senior Jason Jones and sophomore C.J. Johnson lead the way.

“We’ve got some seniors on the defensive line who really help lead this group of guys, but if I had to name one guy it would be Jason Jones,” Wom-mack said. “He takes a lot of pride in being a leader.”

Backing them up will be senior Gerald Rivers and ju-nior Cameron Whigham. The Rebels also look forward to the arrival of high school Un-der Armour All-American de-fensive end Channing Ward out of Aberdeen.

Seniors Gilbert Pena and Uriah Grant, sophomores Bryon Bennett and Carlton Martin and redshirt-freshman Woodrow Hamilton will make up the defensive tackle spots.

Switching Things Up On Defense

Ole Miss looks to improve on the defensive side of the ball, as the Rebels were ranked at the bottom of the SEC in total defense this past season. Defensive coordina-tor Dave Wommack is plan-ning to incorporate his new 4-2-5 defensive scheme to help turn things around.

“We’re really looking for our guys to play both man and zone coverage,” Wom-mack said. “Especially our boundary corner, he needs to be quick and very physical.”

SecondaryThe Rebels return a lot of

talent in the secondary with returning starters junior Charles Sawyer and senior Wesley Pendleton leading the way.

Dehendret Collins, a junior college transfer from Copiah-Lincoln Community College, has really emerged as the starter at boundary corner-back.

“He is one of those guys who came in the spring and has really looked good,” Wommack said.

The Rebels seem to be very deep and expect big things from returning players like senior Ivan Nicholas and ju-nior Brishen Matthews.

LinebackersJunior Mike Marry looks

to start another season at middle linebacker after lead-ing the way for the Rebels in 2011 with 81 total tackles,

A look inside: Ole Miss defenseWith the new season approaching, we take a look at what the defense has in store for the 2012 season.

Junior linebacker Mike Marry.

After being drafted fifth overall by the Cleveland Indi-ans in the 2010 Major League Baseball draft, Drew Pomer-anz made only 18 starts for the organization before being shipped to the Colorado Rock-ies in a trade that sent Ubaldo Jimenez to the Indians.

He then made only two starts in the minors for the Rockies before being called up to make his major league debut in 2011 against the Cin-cinnati Reds.

He earned the win, scatter-ing two hits in five shutout in-nings.

After four starts in the ma-jors this past year, Pomeranz struggled and was sent down to Triple-A.

It was said that he was hav-ing issues with his mechanics and repeating his delivery consistently.

The Rockies recalled Po-meranz early in July, and the 6-foot-5, 240-pound left-hand-er seems to have fixed his is-sues. In his two starts since being recalled, he’s given up only three hits and one un-earned run in over 12 innings of work.

Control is the main issue for Pomeranz, as he has a 27/20

Schneider wins 2012 Women’s Stroke Play Championship

O L E M I S S S P O R T S I N F O R M A T I O N

Rising senior Ericka Sch-neider beat out a field of 67 players to win the 2012 Wom-en’s Stroke Play Champion-ship this past weekend in Or-lando, Fla., firing a three-day total of a four-under par 212 during the three-day tourna-ment.

The tournament was held July 6-8 at the Ritz Carlton in Orlando.

“The weekend was special for me because it was my 21st birthday on Saturday so win-

ning was a nice birthday pres-ent,” Schneider said. “It was also special having my family there. My brother, who lives in Orlando, was able to see me play and win so it was nice to have my mom, dad and brother there. I’ve really been working hard recently in practice and have been eating right so it’s nice to see all my hard work pay off.”
