TUNICA, Miss. (AP) Airport officials in the Mississippi casino town of Tunica are searching for a replacement for airline service to Atlanta.
Airport officials in the Mississippi casino town of Tunica are searching for a replacement for airline service to Atlanta.
Boston-Maine Airways, flying as Pan Am Clipper Connection, stopped its thrice-weekly service this month after losing key routes out of Atlanta.
Since May, Boston-Maine had been using Boeing 727s to fly 70 to 80 passengers per flight from Atlanta to Tunica in partnership with several casinos, which guaranteed a set number of seats.
Traffic was starting to pick up, including passengers driving from Memphis for the Atlanta flight, said Clifton Johnson, Tunica County administrator.
"We are out there soliciting for other carriers," he said, "and not just to replace the Atlanta flight but to get scheduled service from a number of cities."
A consortium made up of casino representatives and county leaders hopes to have a replacement sometime in 2007.
"We've landed 16,000 passengers in the first 10 months of this year," said Webster Franklin, president and chief executive of the Tunica Convention & Visitors Bureau.
Most of the business flew in on the 131-seat charter Harrah's Entertainment sponsors, now averaging 1.3 flights a day. It began the service last November.
Until then, the Tunica airport, which opened in 2003, had never served a plane with more than 30 passengers.
While the Pan Am decision comes as a blow, the consortium recently asked the state's congressional delegation for enough money to extend the runway from 7,000 feet to 8,500.
"We're also planning a terminal building, but we would like to build a terminal around an airline's needs," Franklin said.
The airport opened a 20,000-square-foot hangar this fall, designed to store customer planes overnight and in bad weather.
"It turned out, we've had such interest from the commercial side, we're now trying to hold a third to a half of the space for commercial purposes," said Cliff Nash, airport director.
The hangar was built on a $2.5 million bond issue through the county, part of $33 million invested in the airport since it opened.

Okay, I know it's all bad that Wikia got rid of Monaco, but as said here, Monaco is really hard to run, and bugs would cover articles, so Wikia made Oasis. Yeah, I want Monaco back, but I am used to Oasis, so I could use either skin.
(To Wikia: People have moved their wikis to other wiki farms. Get them back!)
Comment below if you think
a) Monaco rocks and Oasis sucks
b) Oasis rocks and Monaco sucks
c) Both rock, none suck, and this Monaco vs. Oasis fight is useless and should stop
d) I prefer Monaco, but I am not going to sit here and complain about it
e) combo.
Comment below!
Side note: I read a comment by Drangon Fan here that Monaco is coming back in July (as a surprise for the new year). (Update: That is a rumor from ShoutWiki. LIARS!)
No negative comments, please!

Growing up in the city was both a gift and a curse. I was used to the rumble of cars going past at night, it was a central location, and there was a lot of shit to do with my buddies.
My father was the one who grew up with the city life, my mother was a country girl, she was born and raised on a farm in the middle of nowhere. I loved visiting her old house.
My Grandmother, was a widow 5 years. She was always alone in a big farm with an old two story red brick house. My Gran would always say she's happy with the memories of old in her house, but I could see it hurt her to be alone all the time, so I visited almost every weekend.
It was Saturday and in the middle of October when the snow started to fall heavy. I had to get the bus out to Grans early to avoid being stuck and having to wait for an hour watching the snow only get worse until the plows came. It was about ten minutes of a walk from the bus stop to my Grans, providing I took the shortcut through her field.
It was covered in white, I was shivering so much with the cold, my teeth were chattering and my knees were unsteady, causing me to stumble and fall flat multiple times. As I got up for the umpteenth time after crashing into the snow face first, I caught something out of the corner of my eye, it was one of Grans only neighbors, Dean. He was young and bought a shitty little cottage about five minutes away from Grans house. He was overly ambitious and irritating. I waved so as not to be a snob.
"Hey Dean, what the fuck are you doing standing in the middle of the field?" I shouted over to him.
He smiled and walked over to my side. "Gotta funny feeling in the house. I swear it sounds crazy I know, but it's haunted.." he said seriously and looked at me.
I was trying to hard to contain my laughter than my face had gone completely red. "Don't be so insensitive, Lilly." he laughed and prodded me in the arm. "I'm selling it." he said after a long pause.
I stared at him. He was the only source of entertainment I had when I was at Grans. He'd be gone. Plus the field was so eerie, the thought of him not being far was comforting.
"Don't look so sad," he said with a cheesy grin, "I'll talk to you still." he winked at me and nodded and walked swiftly back in the direction of his cheap home.
I sighed as I suddenly felt completely alone. The entire field, trees included, were white. I couldn't feel my feet and decided to get the circulation running again so I started jogging to my Grans. Every step of the way sent a sharp pain up my leg but the motivation of the creepy field being behind me sent me on my way. When I finally reached the gate of the exit, I hopped over it and doubled over. The cold air was catching my breath, my throat was dry and scratchy. I slowly got up and smiled when I saw smoke coming from my Grans chimney. I quickly walked over to the front door and knocked loudly.
"You!" Gran said as she jolted the door open and brought me inside in front of the fire. "You're late. Very late. Two hours? Bus?" she took my jacket and shoes. "Soaking! Walked through the field?"
She was murmuring to herself in between all this and I couldn't get a word in, I laughed and she looked at me and smiled. "Sorry darling."
"Sorry for being late, the cold took it's toll." I said quickly. She looked at me in the eye.
"It's ten o clock. We'll have to catch up tomorrow. Dinner's in the microwave. You know where I am if you need me." she yawned.
"Not in the mood for a late night." she said and kissed me on the forehead.
"Night!" I called after her slightly startled.
Guilt seeped in as I looked at the clock. Half ten. Shit. I rolled my eyes and got up. "Go out early, Lilly? This is your idea of early." I murmured to myself. I stretched realizing how tired I was myself, I made my way to my moms old bedroom. The door was locked. I sighed and called down to my gran. Her bedroom was at the top of the house and mine was at the bottom, it usually made me feel uneasy but when I was tired I didn't really care about the ominous noises, presuming it was just the countryside norm.
"Oh! Yes, I was cleaning around and the door kept blowing open so I locked it." she chuckled and took a key from her dressing gown and unlocked the door.
"Thanks." I said smiling at her.
"If you're too cold, there are blankets in the attic." she nodded and bustled back down the hallway. The attic.. I went up there when I was young, in search of something to play with and the stairs creaked up slowly, locking me in there for an hour. I was six, not independent and I cried the whole time. Ever since then I never went up there, seeing as though it was eleven years ago I felt silly for thinking about it.
As soon as I hit the pillow, I was out like a light. Suddenly, I woke up with a jump. I was shivering. There was no blanket on me, it had fallen down the side of the bed. I pulled it up and tried to go back to sleep. It was no use, my teeth were chattering again. I climbed out of bed and switched on the light. I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me, but when I went to open the door, there was a shadow right behind me. I brushed it off. I'm just tired, I thought.
I stood out in the hallway. The door to the sitting room was open it was dark inside and gave me a funny feeling, so I walked over and shut it. I went to the toilet so I wouldn't have to get up out of bed later to do it. When I stood in the hallway again, ready to pull down the attic stairs, I noticed that the sitting room door was open again. I felt uneasy and took a deep breath.
"Just get this over and done with." I whispered to myself as I pulled on the string and unfolded the steps.
I climbed up them quickly, trying not to look behind in case I saw something I didn't want to. When I reached the top I frantically searched for the light switch, after two minutes my heart was flooded with relief as I felt the string. I pulled on it and the small, cluttered attic was illuminated. I saw the four woolen blankets on top of a box in the far corner and quickly went to retrieve them.
I spun around and much to my surprise, I saw my Grans head peeping in at me from the exit of the attic. I gave out a yelp, and then chuckled realizing it was my Gran. Something wasn't right about her, her eyes had no sparkle, she had..well..no expression. She opened her mouth as if to say something, but snapped it shut again and started to climb back down the steps, I went over to the exit and climbed down. When I reached the bottom I smiled. "I was just col-" I looked around. She was gone. Must have went back to bed. I shrugged and folded the stairs back up. I turned around to go back to my room.
My gran was standing at the entrance. "Don't you like the cold?" she said- well, I don't particularly like to say "said" she.. well, she hissed really. It was a cold, sullen voice to match her expression.
"Oh..well..I was just..I couldn't sleep so I.." I was stammering and she smiled. It wasn't her usual warm, friendly smile, it was sadistic and unpleasing. I moved past her, as I brushed off her it felt as if I had brushed past cold marble. I swallowed hard. "G-goodnight.." I muttered and shut the door on her face. I heard an almost growl like sound coming from outside the door.
I turned off the lights and wrapped myself in all of the blankets. Still shaking. I thought maybe she was sleepwalking or something like that. I'd ask her in the morning. It took me a good hour to get back to sleep. Everything was still. Too still and I was under the impression that someone was watching me.
When I woke up in the morning, I could hear the radio in the kitchen and smell bacon and pancaked. I smiled and stretched. I suddenly remembered what happened and hopped out of bed and walked into the kitchen. My gran looked bright and fresh and was humming along to the radio, she smiled widely at me. "Making your favorite!" she giggled.
"Smells like heaven!" I laughed and then scratched my head, wondering how to start the conversation. "Gran, I didn't know you sleepwalked." I laughed. But felt disheartened when she looked at me confused.
"Lilly, darling, I am the soundest sleeper of all time!" she laughed loudly and went back to humming.
My heart was pounding in my chest. I slowly walked back into my room. The door slammed shut behind me. I turned around, almost in tears. My "gran" was there again. This time she was angry. My heart sank.

Fairfax Financial Holding's Ltd. CEO Prem Watsa says stocks, not bonds, will provide better returns over the next ten years.
But he still plans to keep Fairfax's stock portfolio entirely hedged for the time being, because he's worried that before the market goes up it could take another tumble within the next five years.
Fairfax has hedged its stock portfolio to the tune of more than 100 per cent, meaning it is essentially betting the market will go down. It will miss out on gains if the market rises, but will be protected if they fall.
Fairfax is now selling down its portfolio of treasury bills, which it had held for some time, Mr. Watsa told shareholders at the company's annual meeting in Toronto on Thursday.Report Typo/Error

Oh Please Tell Me You're Lying
Ned's life ended that fateful summer day when his mother talked on the phone. He didn't know it at the time, but he found out soon enough about the biggest disaster since....well, since forever. There hadn't ever been something as ground-shaking as what his mother told him when she hung up.
What did she tell him, you ask? Well, she informed him that Billy Loomer would be staying with them for a week while his mother went on a trip.

Rocky Graziano
August 21, 2010 by staff
Rocky Graziano, Rocky Graziano was one of the greatest fighters knockout in the history of professional boxing.
Thomas Rocco Barbella, or Rocky, was born on January 1, 1919 in Brooklyn, New York. He was most famous for his ability to knockout his opponent with a single lethal blow.
Rocco Barbella's name sounds like the latest film by Sylvester Stallone, Rocky Balboa. As a matter of fact may be considered the film loosely based on the true story of Rocky Graziano. There are many similarities between real history and reel, as both fighters come from an Italian origin and they are popularly known as Rocky. The first Rocky film series is considered one of the best films of all time.
Another movie based on the life of Rocky Graziano was the 1956 Oscar-winning "Up There Likes Me." Rocky Graziano's character was played by Paul Newman. The Oscars won by the film include Best Cinematography (B & W) and Best Art Direction.
The real Rocky was the son of a boxer known as "Fighting Bob Nick '. When he was three years his father made him fight his older brother almost every day for his two children could get an idea of the game Boxing. But Rocky had a troubled childhood.
Rocky was sentenced to jail many times, and the rest of the time spent in nursing homes and Catholic schools reform. He began his amateur boxing career in 1939 when he participated and won the New York Metropolitan Amateur Athletic Union Boxing Competition.
In his career, Rocky appears in 83 fights and won 67 of them while losing 10. He became the middleweight champion in 1947. His rivalry with Tony Zale is one of the most famous rivalry in boxing history.
For his boxing talent, Graziano was inducted into the Hall of Fame International Boxing and was named one of the greatest Punchers of all time by Ring magazine.

POWER QUALIFIES 23RD FOR INDIANAPOLIS 500 DEBUT Will Power has qualified in 23rd position for his Indianapolis 500 debut after Third Day qualifying at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Indianapolis, Indiana today. Full credit goes to the Aussie...
Will Power has qualified in 23rd position for his Indianapolis 500 debut after Third Day qualifying at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Indianapolis, Indiana today.
Full credit goes to the Aussie Vineyards crew, who worked into the night until 1:30am to repair Power's car after a heavy crash in final practice yesterday, when the 27-year-old spun and made contact with the Turn One SAFER Barrier.
The field will be confirmed after Bump Day qualifying tomorrow, with four cars on the outside of the fastest 33 cars trying to 'bump' their way into the field tomorrow. Three of those cars had heavy crashes today and as a result are not confirmed participants tomorrow on Bump Day.
With the top 11 positions already set on Pole Day qualifying back on May 10, Power was the 12th fastest driver today, taking a relatively conservative approach to ensure the #8 Aussie Vineyards -- Team Australia Honda/Dallara/Firestone entry qualified without further drama or damage after yesterday's accident.
Power is set to become the fifth Australian to race in the Indianapolis 500, following in the footsteps of three-time F1 World Champion Sir Jack Brabham, Le Mans 24 Hour winners Vern Schuppan and Geoff Brabham and Power's contemporary Ryan Briscoe.
Schuppan is the only Australian to win the prestigious Indianapolis 500 Rookie of the Year title, a feat he achieved in 1976 and something Power is pushing to match this year on May 25.
This will not only be Power's Indy 500 debut, but also the first start for Aussie Vineyards and Team Australia in the race known as 'The Greatest Spectacle in Racing'. Led by successful Australian businessman Craig Gore, Team Australia has three victories in Champ Car competition, all with Power as driver, and is embarking on its first season in the IndyCar Series in 2008 with KV Racing Technology.
27-year-old Power will not only be embarking on his first race at the fabled 2.5-mile 'Brickyard' on May 25, but also his first race on a superspeedway oval and just his fourth ever race on an oval.
Townsend Bell, Graham Rahal and Darren Manning were the fastest qualifiers on Third Day qualifying today, with Bump Day qualifying tomorrow and Carb Day on Friday before the 92nd Indianapolis 500 on Sunday May 25.
Will Power - #8 Aussie Vineyards - Team Australia Honda/Dallara/Firestone
"Indianapolis Motor Speedway is so unpredictable and today it was really inconsistent, so I had to be very careful," said Power.
"Our Aussie Vineyards team just wanted to do a qualifying run, keep it off the wall, and get into the show, so I am a little relieved to have this behind us.
"We ran conservative, with more downforce to make sure we got through the run and give me some more confidence after yesterday's incident, but I had understeer in turn two, was loose in turn three and had to back-off during the run."
"I'm really proud of the crew. They worked all night. I can't thank them enough to actually have the car out there for practice. But it was once again the same as yesterday. The wind makes it really difficult.
"The last lap there, I started pushing in (Turn) 2 toward the wall; turned into (Turn) 3 and suddenly have a massive moment. You've got to run the car conservatively. That's what we were doing today. We were going out there just to get in."
On experiencing the changing conditions at the Speedway:
"The first three days were pretty wind-free, to be honest. But then yesterday just out on an out lap, bam, it catches you out, and you don't know what you did wrong.
"You think 'what did I do wrong?' which makes it really bad for your confidence. You're thinking: 'OK, the guys just fixed the car. Well, I could go out tomorrow and do exactly the same thing' because the conditions are changing from lap to lap and it's so easy to end up in the wall."
On putting the accident Friday behind him and going back out today:
"It's funny, actually. I ran into Jaime Camara, and he said he still hasn't come back (in confidence from his accident). I can understand. You go out, and you just can't trust the rear of the car.
"It's an instant where it just happens, and you have no chance to catch it and no warning. That's what makes you really nervous. I guess these other guys that run here that have been doing it for five years must really understand, you know, the feeling and how the car should be."
On the repair to mental confidence a driver has to go through after an accident:
"Mentally, it's the toughest because of the fact that the speeds are so high and also the fact that you have to watch your team work all night to rebuild the car, and the thought of going out and doing it again tomorrow. We've been thrown into this in the deep end; absolutely. The circumstances have nothing to do with the team. It's just the whole circumstance with the way everything's come together. You know, you find yourself having to learn very quickly."
Craig Gore - Aussie Vineyards - Team Australia
"It's fantastic feeling to have the Aussie Vineyards car qualified for Team Australia's first Indy 500," said Power.
"This effort really comes down to the Aussie Vineyards crew, who worked into the early hours of the morning to have the car back on track for Will to qualify today.
"Will did a solid job of putting yesterday's crash behind him and getting the qualifying run done today.
"It was a conservative set-up and not our best run of the month, but it was the right approach to take and it got us a decent spot.
"Again, today the Aussie Vineyards crew deserve all the credit. They are simply amazing and I'm very proud of every single one of them."

Salsa Superior
Recipe by Childrens Minister
This salsa is the compilation of dozens of salsa recipes that I have read. This salsa is not too hot, not too sweet, not too mild. The depth of flavor and easy prep will make this a winner for your next party or Tex-Mex night.
Top Review by Swan Valley Tammi
Ha, I realized this was a no-cook recipe only after the salsa was simmering on the stove! I didn't have enough lime juice, so I substituted lemon, but I still think I won't necessarily use the tomato paste next time. It was a little too recognizable a taste, we found. Kinda sweetish. I love that this recipe calls for a volume of crushed tomatoes or tomato puree though, rather than x-number of pounds of tomatoes. My tomatoes are ripening indoors off the vine now and I never have more than a handful ready at a time, so I crush them up and throw them in the freezer, but then using my old salsa recipe, I never knew how much tomato to use. Will use this recipe again, but will probably tweak it a little. And I won't cook it!!!

I lost my older sister in May 2014. I was at work when my mother called and said my sister was dead. I was so numb I just stayed on the phone in shock for what felt like an eternity while my Mom kept asking. "Hello? Hello? Did you hear what I said?" It was the moment my entire life changed. My sister and I talked just about every single day. She was a widow and her 10 year old son, my nephew, had lost his dad three years prior at age 7, only to lose his mom too at age 10. The anguish and sadness and grief and anger are sometimes hard to describe. I flew down to visit immediately to be with my family and make final arrangements. Having to hold my Mom's hand in the funeral home to go over paperwork as she wept at having lost her only daughter and explaining everything to my 10 year old nephew were the hardest things I've ever had to do. Right now, it's too fresh, too raw, and all I feel is so much pain. I love you sis. I miss you.

Nagpur, March 12: India may have lost their highly-anticipated World Cup 2011 match to South Africa by a whisker in the end, but fans have a rather large consolation to savour - the Little Master's 111 off 101 deliveries faced.
It may have been the only genuine bright spot in an encounter rife with wishy-washy performances from the home-side, but that doesn't detract from the significance of Sachin Tendulkar's accomplishment. With this latest feather in his cap, or one should say "jewel in his crown", Tendulkar has placed himself on the threshold of another glowing, glistening world record - completing 100 hundreds in international cricket.
Indeed, as of March 12, 2011, the batting maestro has got 99 tons under his belt - 51 in Test matches and 48 in one-dayers. As though that were not big enough a feat, 6 of those centuries now have come in World Cups.
The last two - 120 against England at Bangalore on Feb 27, 2011 and the one on Saturday versus South Africa, just serve to re-emphasize this 37-year-old's commitment to the game and to his side. As an indispensable cog in Team India's machinery, he must be however, scratching his head and wondering why his last two tons have not garnered his side victories.
He has not only been deprived of that icing on the cake, but also in a sense, the sprinkles... as both his latest centuries have been overshadowed by a better performance from an individual in the opposition. Against England, it was ultimately captain Andrew Strauss who outshone Sachin with his match-saving 158 from 145 balls while in Saturday's game versus South Africa, it was Proteas ace pacer Dale Steyn's destructive 5 wickets for 50 runs that stole the limelight. In both cases, the Little Master was even deprived of the Man of the Match awards, being left relatively empty handed after putting on such a good show.
The fact that India could not wrest victory in those two matches in which Tendulkar had lived up to expectations and excelled with the bat, perhaps indicates, rather disappointingly, that Team India is still very much dependent on Tiny Ten. It seems the only way he can ensure that India notches up a match-winning total, is not only to open and hang around till after the middle overs, but to carry his bat through the innings. With his presence and cool temperament to chaperone the later batsman, it appears unlikely that India would have undergone the batting collapse that they did at the hands of the South Africans.
Hopefully, India' niggling little issues will be solved before they go into their final group stage encounter against the West Indies next week. Sachin - the 99-ton man - more than anybody else, will be hoping so...

The structure of a monolayer butane film on MgO (100) surface
View full-size image
Understanding how waxy molecules interact with and modify metal oxide materials will enhance their technological usage.
Metal oxides (MO) play a leading role in nanotechnology where nanometer-sized particles are routinely used as pigments for paints, supports for catalysts, as base components in cosmetics, medical ointments and lubricants, and in opto-magneto electronic materials e.g. as MEMS devices and novel sensors. Understanding how waxy molecules interact with and modify MO materials will unquestionably enhance their technological usage. We have used neutron diffraction to study the arrangement of molecular species on MO surfaces. We have found that a single '2D' layer of butane (C4H10) on MgO is sawtooth shaped. The structure results from the attractive force of the MgO surface 'pulling' the molecules into registry with it. MgO has a similar 'attraction' for longer-chain pentane (C5H12) and hexane (C6H14) molecules. This work is part of a comprehensive investigation into the adsorption, structural and dynamical properties of alkane films on nanocubes of MgO and represents a key step towards developing accurate and realistic models of the interplay between adsorbate-adsorbate and adsorbate-substrate interactions. Knowledge of these forces will ultimately lead to the production of nanomaterials that have predictable physical and chemical properties.

The wide-ranging federal grand jury investigation into former District Attorney Walter Reed appears to be nearing an end, and charges almost certainly will be filed against the north shore's former top law enforcement official, according to sources with knowledge of the case.
That would end nearly a year of speculation about the extent of the legal woes facing a once-seemingly unassailable incumbent. Amid news he was under federal scrutiny, Reed announced in July that he would not seek a sixth term as DA of St. Tammany and Washington parishes.
Weapons logs at the St. Tammany Parish Justice Center, where the 22nd Judicial District Attorney's Office is located, show that the FBI, including some top members of the corruption squad, made 11 visits to it from July 2 through March 5.
Precisely what crimes Reed will be accused of remains to be seen, but the probe appears to center on some of his private business dealings and his potential misuse of campaign funds. The Internal Revenue Service's criminal division also is involved, raising the possibility that he could face tax charges as well.
The Reed probe became public in May, when grand jury subpoenas went out to the Castine Center, the publicly owned facility where Reed held several fundraisers, and FBI agents began visiting Reed's offices in Covington. Much of what the feds appear to be scrutinizing has been the subject of a barrage of news reports over the past year.
Rick Simmons, Reed's attorney, acknowledges charges may be in the offing, but he says Reed has done nothing wrong and certainly never corrupted the DA's Office.
"There's nothing in here to suggest he sold his office — nothing to suggest he ever took money to do favors or things like that," Simmons said.
It's true that there's been no claim that Reed ever took a bribe, but that doesn't necessarily mean he didn't trade on his power.
Rafael Goyeneche, president of the watchdog Metropolitan Crime Commission and a vocal critic of Reed's behavior, said the probe covers "every aspect of Walter Reed, his public and his private life," including the ways in which his private law practice was sometimes conducted at the expense of his duties as district attorney.
Campaign abuses
The initial focus of the federal probe — and of the first subpoenas — related to Reed's spending of campaign money. A report by WVUE-TV and nola.com that preceded the subpoenas suggested that some payments from Reed's campaign account to his son, Steven, were for amounts that far exceeded the cost of services that Steven Reed provided for a fundraiser at the Castine Center in Mandeville.
Moreover, Reed and his son gave conflicting accounts about which services Steven Reed actually rendered — in particular, whether he provided alcohol for the estimated 2,000 guests or just "setups." Just last week, WVUE-TV reported receiving a subpoena for a copy of its 2014 story.
Meanwhile, Walter Reed's former longtime girlfriend, Claire Bradley, told The New Orleans Advocate that Reed often used campaign money as a personal kitty. For instance, he tapped the fund to throw her what she described as a lavish birthday party at The Dakota Restaurant in Covington, complete with a special menu. Reed's spokesman has said the event was a planning meeting for a golf fundraiser.
Bradley, who has been interviewed by the FBI multiple times, also said Reed gave her and her son money from his campaign fund for groceries and other personal items. Reed has maintained those expenses were political in nature.
Simmons dismisses questions about how Reed used his campaign war chest.
"Read my lips — it's not public money," he said. While not conceding that Reed made personal use of any of the money or purposely overspent on his son, Simmons said that even if he did, it wouldn't constitute a federal crime.
"That's not a federal offense," Simmons said, arguing that policing abuses of campaign money falls to the state Board of Ethics.
Other local white-collar crime experts aren't so sure. Some say federal prosecutors could charge Reed with wire or mail fraud if his campaign reports were intentionally misleading.
Others note that while it's relatively common for politicians to tap campaign accounts for expenses that appear to be personal, it's rare, if not unprecedented, for the feds to take an interest.
Former U.S. Attorney Harry Rosenberg, now a defense lawyer, said he believes the feds would find a campaign violation much more tantalizing if large amounts of money were involved and the benefit to Reed himself was clear.
For instance, if Reed simply overpaid his son for bar services, the feds might choose to overlook it. But if he did that so his son could repay a debt to Reed, for instance, "that would make it much more enticing," Rosenberg said.
The hospital contract
A second prong of the federal probe revolves around Reed's legal work for St. Tammany Parish Hospital, a side gig that paid him $30,000 a year.
There are two major questions about that deal: first, whether Reed improperly shifted work that had been handled by the DA's Office to his private law firm; and second, whether Reed broke the law by sending an employee of the DA's Office in his stead to the public hospital's board meetings, thus profiting privately from the work of a public official who reported to him.
As to the first question, Simmons says he can prove — with a document dating from 1996 — that Reed and the hospital board long ago agreed that legal services would be provided by Reed personally rather than by the DA's Office. The arrangement was so old that some current board members weren't aware of it, he said.
On the second point, Simmons acknowledges — and board minutes confirm — that Reed on several occasions sent Leo Hemelt, an office employee, in his place.
Reed didn't pay Hemelt for his services, a situation that has drawn comparisons to former St. Tammany Parish Coroner Peter Galvan's use of a publicly paid staffer to provide services that Galvan was paid for privately. That arrangement was a central part of the federal corruption case against Galvan, who is now serving a two-year prison sentence.
But Simmons says the comparison is flawed, saying Reed personally attended at least 150 hospital board meetings and that Hemelt attended only in rare cases when Reed couldn't make it. Galvan, by comparison, rarely if ever went to the Slidell jail, which paid him to provide medical care for inmates.
Hemelt, who was served with a subpoena last year, has not returned calls seeking comment. He has retired from the DA's Office.
Contract with Causeway
The feds also are interested in another stream of income that flowed from a public agency to Reed, this one from the Causeway Commission to a private firm that in turn paid Reed.
The Becknell Law Firm, one of two firms that until recently represented the Greater New Orleans Expressway Commission, which oversees the Causeway, shared some of its fees with Reed. The feds are exploring the propriety of that arrangement — in particular, whether Reed used his political influence to help the firm land the work and whether he did actual legal work for the money he received.
Simmons said he can't figure out what the federal angle is, but he said the government seems intrigued by the fact that on financial disclosure forms, Reed reported receiving money from the Causeway Commission, rather than the Becknell firm. On those forms, filed with the Ethics Board, Reed reporting receiving roughly $36,000 from the Causeway Commission between 2008 and 2011.
Simmons said Reed was not trying to obfuscate, but the opposite. The disclosure forms require politicians to report income from government sources to highlight possible conflicts, and the money Reed got from the Becknell firm originated with the Causeway, so he reported it that way, Simmons said.
"I don't know where they're coming from there," he said.
Until last year, the Causeway Commission was represented by the Becknell firm and McCranie, Sistrunk, Anzelmo, Hardy, McDaniel & Welch LLC, another firm where Reed is listed as being "of counsel." Last year, the commission terminated its relationship with both groups, on May 21 for McCranie Sistrunk and June 18 for the Becknell firm.
Causeway General Manager Carlton Dufrechou said the board wanted a change. A terse email to Burgess McCranie dated June 18 asked for a final billing and thanked him for his service.
Keith McDaniel, managing partner of the McCranie firm, had no comment. A message left with the Becknell firm was not returned.
A tax case?
A fourth angle federal authorities are exploring is the possibility that Reed didn't report all of his income to the Internal Revenue Service, which could result in charges of tax evasion or filing false income tax returns.
Reed's possible misuse of campaign money could come into play here, as any money he spent on personal expenses should have been reported as income.
Bradley, Reed's ex-girlfriend, said FBI agents called her two months ago and told her they were going to put the IRS on the line while they asked about Reed's campaign spending.
The connection was lost, however, and when the FBI called back, the IRS was no longer on the call. Agents quizzed her about two floral arrangements sent to her mother, a get-well bouquet with a card signed by Reed and a Mother's Day arrangement that purported to be from Bradley and her son. Bradley told the FBI that Reed tapped his campaign account for both bouquets.
Apart from the nearly $200,000 in annual salary he took home as DA, Reed has drawn substantial income from a variety of other sources, including private legal work and a gold-buying business, MR Precious Metals, that took off as the price of gold soared.
Yancie "Bubba" Moseley III, Reed's partner in that business, told The New Orleans Advocate that he was questioned by the FBI after news stories broke about a gold shop owner who claimed he had been subjected to unfounded legal prosecution after a falling-out with Moseley and Reed. Moseley did not return messages this week.
Simmons said Reed has reported all of his income properly, but he acknowledged that federal authorities may be exploring tax charges.
"You can make a tax case on anybody," Simmons said. "It's just a matter of who they want to target."
Retirement benefits
Going beyond Reed himself, the FBI has shown an interest in the generous retirement benefits paid to select members of Reed's staff. The DA set up a special retirement account for a handful of insiders, using public money to provide benefits equaling 20 percent of participants' salaries. The employees contributed nothing.
Pete Adams, head of the Louisiana District Attorneys Association, said he was interviewed by the FBI about the retirement benefits last year.
"They asked me if I knew of that (the extra retirement fund), and of course I didn't," Adams said.
He said the FBI asked him to explain how the LDAA's retirement system worked. They did not subpoena any records.
The generous benefits Reed gave his friends at taxpayers' expense have sparked criticism. State Treasurer John Kennedy has wondered aloud how Harry Pastuszek, a close associate of Reed's, was able to draw two retirements, a full salary from the DA's Office and hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees each year from the St. Tammany Parish School Board.
Pastuszek initially represented the School Board as part of his job at the DA's Office. But at the end of 1993, Reed urged the board to hire Pastuszek directly, and it did so. Though Pastuszek did little if any work for the DA's Office in recent years, Reed allowed him to remain on the payroll and to continue building retirement benefits.
Pastuszek, who left the DA's Office in September and now lives in Florida, did not return calls for comment.
Pat Fanning, a former federal prosecutor and now a defense lawyer, said he thinks that arrangement could land both Reed and Pastuszek in hot water.
"You can't take public money and give it to your friends," he said, comparing it to former Jefferson Parish President Aaron Broussard's placement of his then-girlfriend in a do-nothing job — an action that was central to the corruption case against Broussard.
But former U.S. Attorney Rosenberg thinks — as with the campaign contributions — the feds will want to show that Reed himself benefited from Pastuszek's deal before they include it in a charge.
"The government is looking to say the public official put money in his pocket," Rosenberg said. "They're looking to establish a direct benefit, not an act of friendship or kindness. Some people think you can get charged for stupidity, but that, of course, is not the threshold."
Other probes
Some of Reed's questionable actions may fall short of federal criminal charges and instead land him in the crosshairs of the state Ethics Board or the Office of Disciplinary Counsel — an outcome Reed surely would prefer but one that could result in sanctions if not prison time.
Bradley said the Ethics Board has interviewed her about checks from a fundraiser. She said previously that Reed separated out checks that were left blank or that were made out to Reed personally and not his campaign fund, asking her to endorse them with his name. She said she believed he was planning to cash them rather than deposit them in his campaign fund.
The Office of Disciplinary Counsel has confirmed that it is looking into a number of matters involving Reed that have surfaced in media reports, including cases where he recused his office so he could take on potentially lucrative civil claims.
But most observers think Reed will face criminal charges in addition to possible administrative sanctions.
"I think he's got a major problem," said Fanning, who describes Reed as a friend. "I don't take any great pleasure in it, but I think it's going to happen."
Rosenberg said the stature of the attorneys and case agents involved — the investigation team includes First Assistant U.S. Attorney Richard Westling — also doesn't bode well for Reed.
"I don't think they're going to allow him to just plead to some minor offense like misprision (concealing a felony of which he was aware), given the seniority of the folks over there," Rosenberg said. "I think they're looking for much more serious charges."

Ichiro: I'll 'put ball in play' for AL
By Rod Beaton, USA TODAY
MILWAUKEE Seattle's sensational Ichiro Suzuki hit
a home run the other day, earning the smiles and back-thumping reception that
comes with a four-bagger. Then a teammate said, chortling, "You must be on steroids."
Suzuki chuckled. He has been many things in his season-and-a-half in the big
leagues, but at 5-9, 160 pounds, no one would ever seriously accuse Suzuki of
chemical enhancement.
Suzuki was the American League
rookie of the year and MVP last season. He has picked up where he left off,
batting .357 this season. He expects to fare better out of the break. Last year
he slumped a bit at this stage.
"I looked back on last year and saw I didn't have a good
start right away (after the All-Star Game)," he said through a translator.
He also expects a good start in tonight's All-Star Game.
He will bat first, facing Arizona right-hander Curt Schilling, who said he is
looking to strike out Suzuki. Good luck. Suzuki whiffed just 53 times in 692
at-bats last year.
"When you consider the impact he has had on baseball in
this country, striking him out would not be a bad way to start the game," Schilling
No worries.
"I'm going to put the ball into play," Suzuki said assuredly.
Schilling is no slouch, but Suzuki hoped to see Schilling's
teammate Randy Johnson. As a left-handed pitcher who brushes left-handed hitters
away like crumbs in his lap, Johnson would have posed more of a challenge. But
he passed on participating in the All-Star Game.
"To see him on the same field is rare for me," Suzuki said.
"I wanted the chance to (face) him."
Last year Suzuki would have sidestepped the issue of missing
Johnson. He is more acclimated to the USA, and that comfort has shown in his
"Last year, as the first Japanese player (who was not a
pitcher), there was a lot of pressure," he said. "This year there is a different
kind of pressure. I feel I have to do everything I did last year or more."
He took calmly the debate over who should be leading off
the AL lineup, Yankees second baseman Alfonso Soriano or him. He says Soriano
is a friend from the three years (1995-97) Soriano played for Hiroshima in Japan.
"Suzuki, what's he hitting, .360 or some ridiculous number,"
AL manager Joe Torre asked. "He's more of a leadoff hitter."
