Prison lockdown
may end by holiday
If inmates behave, a lockdown at
Evans Correctional Institution may end
by Thanksgiving, state Department of
Corrections director Jon Ozmint said.
No visitors have been allowed at the
maximum-security prison near
Bennettsville that was placed on
lockdown Oct. 16 after searches found
cash, illegal drugs, homemade weapons
and more than two dozen cell phones.
Several employees have been fired or
resigned, leaving the prison well below the
minimum staffing needed, Ozmint said.
Minimum staff is 200 employees,
and about 145 are working now, he said.
The prison houses about 1,346
inmates.

Spammer trial reveals
lucrative business
LEESBURG, Va. — As one of the
world’s most prolific spammers, Jeremy
Jaynes pumped out at least 10 million e
mails a day with the help of 16 high
speed lines, the kind of Internet capacity
a 1,000-employee company would need.
Jaynes’ business was remarkably
lucrative; prosecutors say he grossed up
to $750,000 per month.
The eight-day trial that ended in his
conviction this month shed light on the
operations of a 30-year-old former
purveyor of physical junk mail who
worked with minimal assistance out of a

Death row numbers
drop to 30-year low
WASHINGTON — The number of
people sentenced to death reached a 30
year low in 2003, when the death row
population fell for the third year in a
row, the government reported Sunday.
Some 144 inmates in 25 states were
given the death penalty last year, 24
fewer than in 2002 and less than half the
average of 297 between 1994 and 2000,
according to the Justice Department.
Death penalty opponents say the
report shows how wary the public is of
executions, heightened by concerns
about whether the punishment is
administered fairly.

Abbas escapes Gaza
shooting unharmed
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip —Mahmoud
Abbas, the temporary successor to Yasser
Arafat, escaped unharmed Sunday when
militants firing assault rifles burst into a
mourning tent for the deceased
Palestinian leader, killing two security
guards and wounding six other people.
The shooting raised grave concerns
about a violent power struggle in the
post-Arafat era. Some of the gunmen
shouted slogans calling Abbas, a
moderate who has spoken out against
violence, an agent of the United States.
Pakistani army says
no sign of bin Laden
KARWANA MANZAI, Pakistan —
On a strategic mountaintop not far
from the Afghan border, the Pakistani
commanding general gestures toward
the arid hills on the horizon where his
troops have advanced in the last two
days and makes a bold prediction:
South Waziristan, a haven for al-Qaida
linked guerrillas who fled Afghanistan
after the fall of the Taliban, will be
pacified by the year’s end. But Maj.
Gen. Niaz Khattak has another, more
disappointing message — there’s no sign
of the man that Pakistan’s American
allies in the war on terror really want him
to f^tch: Osama bin Laden.
BRIEFS FROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Usher wins
4 awards,
OutKast
gets three
LOS ANGELES — R&B sensation
Usher won all his show-leading four
nominations at the American Music
Awards on Sunday, and rap
funksters OutKast went three-for
three during a performance-studded,
occasionally censored broadcast
ceremony.
"Thank you for this moment.
Thank you for this year," Usher said
as he picked up his last award of the
night. "It's been amazing."
Usher won for favorite male soul
R&B artist, best pop-rock artist, best
pop-rock album and best soul-R&B
album for "Confessions," which sold
more than 1 million copies in its
debut week.
OutKast, the Grammy winners
whose album "Speakerboxxx-The
Love Below" spawned the mega-hit
"Hey Ya!" took home awards for
favorite pop-rock band, favorite rap
hip-hop album and best rap-hip-hop
group.
In his acceptance remarks,
OutKast's Big Boi paid tribute to
founding Wu-Tang Clan member
O.D.B., who collapsed and died
inside a New York recording studio
Saturday. The rapper's cause of
death was not immediately clear.
"Rest in peace Ol' Dirty
Bastard," Big Boi said. "We love
you."
Soul diva Alicia Keys won
favorite female artist in the soul
R&B category, edging out Janet
Jackson and Beyonce.
REED SAXON/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Sunday, at the Shrine
Auditorium in Los Angeles.
Brooks & Dunn earned their

SECOND-YEAR ART STUDIO STUDENT. ON
_ SOJAM A CAPPELLA FESTIVAL COM PET 11 ION
CHILLIN’
NICK ESARES/THE GAMECOCK
Stephen Miller, a first-year nursing student, studies for class on the leaf-covered Horseshoe
despite the declining temperature outside. The weekend's cold front and the fall season
encouraged students to either dig out their hats and coats or dig a hole for the winter.
Chesney said.
Shortly before the start of the
telecast, producer Dick Clark
announced rapper Jay-Z won
favorite male artist in the rap-hip
hop category. Singer Marc Anthony
won favorite Latin music artist, and
the group MercyMe won best
contemporary inspirational artist.
The show was heavy on
performances, , some of them
censored with words cut out,
although a few presenters got away
with racy material.
Gwen Stefani, stepping out
without No Doubt, opened the show
wearing a short, ruffled dress and
white stockings and flanked by
dancers singing to "What You
Waiting For?" Lenny Kravitz, clad in
a black trenchcoat and tie, hair
cropped short, followed performing
"Lady."
Country singer Gretchen Wilson
won the best new artist, beating out
innovative rap newcomer Kanye
West and the band Maroon 5.
Wilson lost to Reba McEntire in the
category for top female country artist.
Nominees were chosen on the
basis of record sales, with winners
selected “by a survey of about 20,000
listeners.
Jimmy Kimmel hosted the
ceremony broadcast live on ABC
from the Shrine Auditorium.
"We're here to celebrate the
music and the performers who sing
and or lip-sync it tonight," Kimmel
said in his monologue, poking fun at
Ashlee Simpson's recent "Saturday
Night Live" faux pas.
Anna Nicole Smith, who wore a
curve-hugging black and red gown,
became a favorite target of Kimmel
after she appeared at turns
disoriented and manic when she
took the stage to introduce a
performance by West.
"I still think the best
performance of the night was Anna
Nicole Smith. I told her to stay
away from Snoop Dogg's
brownies," Kimmel quipped,
referring to a show skit where the
rapper and troubled singer Bobby
Brown pretended to be selling
"$100 brownies."
Veteran rockers Bon Jovi
received a special merit award and
performed their hits "It's My Life"
and "Have A Nice Day."
Singer Jon Bon Jovi called the
award "surreal but much
appreciated," and thanked the New
Jersey group's fans: "Even when I
couldn't, you gave me the chance to
dream."
RingO Starr, on tape, introduced
a video clip of The Beatles that
hadn't been aired in 40 years. After
the performance of "She Loves You"
and "I Want to Hold Your Hand,"
Kimmel fell flat with a tongue-in
cheek declaration: "Boring." Many
in the audience booed the joke.
Library to include
Clinton’s racy past
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — As* Bill
Clinton’s library is unveiled at a gala
opening this week, one thing is
certain: His messy legacy will be on
full display.
One alcove will be dedicated to
impeachment, and organizers have
promised not to sidestep even Monica
Lewinsky or Paula Jones. The 58
year-old political superstar is expected
to draw hundreds of thousands of
visitors a year to his library.
“Bill Clinton is a rock star,” said
Skip Rutherford, head of Clinton’s
nonprofit foundation that built the
$165 million library. “He is Elvis.”
The William J. Clinton
Presidential Center, a metaphorical
“bridge to the 21st century”
cantilevered out over the bank of the
Arkansas River, opens Thursday as
the highlight of a week of programs,
exhibits and symposiums.
The week will include an Aretha
Franklin concert, a science discussion
by astronaut and former Democratic
Sen. John Glenn, dedication of new
sculptures on the riverfront arid .at the
airport, and a reception to which
Whoopi Goldberg, Cicely Tyson and
Quincy Jones have been invited.
At Thursday morning’s grand
opening, speakers will include
Clinton, his wife Sen. Hillary
Rodham Clinton, President Bush,
former President Bush and former
President Carter. Some 30,000
guests have been invited to gather on
the library lawn and U2’s Bono and
The Edge will perform.
Visitors to the 150,000-square
foot glass and steel center designed
by architect James Polshek will get
to see how Clinton, his closest
advisers and exhibit designer Ralph
Appelbaum tell Clinton’s story.
Clinton has promised to give
scholars early access to previously
private policy advice and other
documents he isn’t required to
release until 2006. He already has
written about the Lewinsky and
Jones sex scandals, impeachment
and his political missteps in his
memoir, “My Life.”
