County accepts grant, takes on bayous cleanup - Advantage ...

CHICAGO — President
Barack Obama bluntly told
doctors Monday he opposes
their highest legislative priority
— limiting malpractice
awards — and got a smattering
of boos from an audience
he was here to court for his
health-care overhaul plan.
Vigorously defending the
plan to reshape the nation’s
health-care system and
extend coverage to millions
who don’t have it, he also
took on “naysayers,” “fearmongers”

After a year of hesitation,
Warren <strong>County</strong> supervisors
have accepted a <strong>grant</strong>
the board sought and with
it responsibility to maintain
drainage improvements
along three bayous inside
Vicksburg.
The decision ends questions
over whether a $3.9 million
Katrina-related federal
<strong>grant</strong> would go elsewhere

Pemberton Headquarters
will receive $25,000 worth
of exterior work this fall
thanks to another contribution
from the Friends
of the Vicksburg National
Military Park and Campaign
group whose members
presented a check
and farewell to departing
VNMP Superintendent
Monika Mayr on Monday.
“With this donation,
we will be able to restore
the back portion of Pemberton’s
Headquarters.
It will be a very visible
accomplishment that the
Friends will be able to see
for years to come and say,
‘We did that,’” said Mayr,
who added the work could
begin as soon as October.

the county’s
eligibility
for future
awards.
The money
was allocated
in April 2008
as part of a
$5.48 billion
Katrina recovery package
awarded to Mississippi from
U.S. Department of Housing
and Urban Development via
‘we did that’
Pemberton Headquarters
allowed Mayr to choose
how to earmark the $25,000
donation, one of her final
actions as superintendent
of the Civil War park. She
will finish her duties in
Vicksburg on Thursday,
and head to Ashville, N.C.,
where she will be deputy
superintendent of the Blue
file•The Vicksburg PosT
Ridge Parkway. A 25-year
employee of the Department
of Interior, Mayr has
been head of the Vicksburg
park since 2004.
“Monika is responsible
for a lot of the great things
that are taking place at the
park, and we’re all really
going to miss her,” said
the Mississippi Development
Authority.
The purpose is to clear
Glass, Hatcher and Stouts
bayous, which drain much
of the city, of vegetation and
privately generated debris.
Supervisors realized, only
after applying, that rules
governing the award spelled
out conditions of long-term
maintenance beyond the
project’s completion, prompting
an offer to the City of
Vicksburg for it to administer
the work.
Vicksburg formally turned
down the county’s overtures
to take over the project,
which would have added
a second disaster recoveryrelated
project locally. Vicksburg’s
$1.3 million portion
of the Katrina block <strong>grant</strong>s

is the residence on

in whether the United
States would reunite or
remain split into different
nations.

Time frame, revisions to port lease
approved by county, Kinder Morgan
By Danny Barrett Jr.
dbarrett@vicksburgpost.com
Revisions in the latest round
of counterproposals between
Warren <strong>County</strong> and Kinder
Morgan to extend the company’s
lease to operate the Port
of Vicksburg were approved
Monday and made part of a
time frame to end the drawnout
talks.
Port commissioners and company
officials agreed on terms
that would have the company
pay a base rent of $235,000
annually after the first of three,
five-year options to which the
commission agreed in October,
plus 8 percent if yearly revenue
tops $2.225 million. In two
proposals shot down by commissioners
in May, incentive
benchmarks were set $575,000
higher and, in one case, base
rent $35,000 less.
Terms take effect if the firm
nails down a deal by Oct. 1 with
Severstal to ship steelmaking
components to the SeverCorr
plant near Columbus. If not,
both parties agreed, the contract
to operate the port could
be re-advertised.
Under the existing agreement
signed in 2005, base rent
is $135,000 and performancebased
payments to the commission
total 8 percent if the gross
tops $1 million and 15 percent if
it tops $1.4 million. The agreement
is set to expire in December.
Urgency to nail down both
halves of the deal has grown for
both sides since a push began
in 2007 to renew the current
deal.
“It probably does need a time
frame on this,” Port Commission
Executive Director Wayne
Mansfield said, adding the
terms were the best chance to
recover money lost from the
yearlong shutdown of activity
while the T-dock crane support
structure at the harbor was
replaced. Tonnage unloaded
at the port stood at 6,589 net
tons for May, more than double
the amount from April. More
than half came from grain shipments
used at the Bunge-Ergon
ethanol plant at the port.
“Grain has turned out to be a
pretty good business,” regional
sales director Tom Murphree
said, adding later the Oct. 1
deadline was “a fair date” in the
overall status of negotiations
and that August is the company’s
latest target date for a deal
with Russia-based Severstal.
Repairs to cracked portions
of the T-dock are set for this
month, county engineers
said. Pig iron, the movement
of which was halted after the
heavy material damaged the
loading surface, is set to move
again soon thereafter, Murphree
said.

A third suspect was added
today to the pair being sought
in the shooting death of a
Tallulah teenager Sunday
morning.
Brandon Holmes, in his late
20s or early 30s, is wanted for
questioning along with previously
named Mario Oliver, 27,
and Shawn Allen, 24, said Tallulah

Chief Willie Turner.

The two are considered

Does chiropractic help with migraine
headaches?
Answer: Yes. There was a randomized controlled
study published in 2000 in the Journal of
Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics that
assessed the efficacy of chiropractic manipulation in the treatment of
migraines. The average response of the treatment group showed significant
improvement in migraine frequency, duration, disability and
medication use when compared with the control group. Twenty-two
percent of participants reported more than 90 percent reduction of
migraines as a consequence of the two months of chiropractic manipulation
treatment. Approximately 50 percent more participants
reported significant improvement in the morbidity of each episode.
A high percentage of participants reported stress as a major factor for
their migraines. It appears probable that chiropractic care has an
effect on the physical conditions related to stress and that in these
people the effects of the migraine are reduced.

Are weight-loss medicines used for people who
are just a little overweight?
Martin Case, B.C.-H.I.S.

If I need hearing aids, do you have any
financing available?
Answer: Acute pain comes on quickly and often leaves just as quickly.
Pain that hits suddenly – after dropping a hammer on your toe,
spraining an ankle, or lifting an object too heavy for you to lift. Acute
pain should last no longer than six weeks and is the most common
type of pain. Chronic pain, however, can come on quickly or slowly,
an it can last significantly longer than acute pain. Pain is considered
chronic if it lasts longer than three months. Physical therapy treatment
is a solution to acute and chronic pain management and can
lessen the need for mood altering medications.
Answer: No. Weight-loss medicines are only for people who are very
obese. Most weight-loss medicines are designed for people who
weight 20 percent or more above what is ideal for their heights and
body types or who have high body mass indexes (BMI). The BMI is
a measure of your weight and height. Your doctor can tell you if
weight-loss supplements containing ephedra, ephedrine or caffeine
are available without a prescription; it is not known whether these
drugs are safe. Such supplements have been linked to reports of heart
attack, seizure, stroke and death. It is important to talk to your doctor
if you are considering taking a weight-loss supplement or if you
are already taking one.
Answer: Yes we do, there are some no interest plans and low interest
payment plans to fit every budget. The main concern is, do you need
a hearing aid(s)? A complete hearing evaluation will help to identify
your hearing ability. If you need assistance hearing, then we can make
a recommendation for you at that time. Please call our office to
schedule your FREE appointment! 601-636-2269.

What are the side effects of phentermine?
Answer: Phentermine (brand names Adipex-P,
Ionamin) is a prescription drug used for weight loss.
This medication works in the brain to decrease
appetite. Dry mouth, nervousness, constipation and
nausea are the most commonly reported side effects of
phentermine. More serious side effects include increased blood pressure
and heart rate, anxiety and blurred vision. You should have your blood
pressure checked regularly while taking phentermine. Rarely, heart valve
damage and a rare lung disorder called primary pulmonary hypertension
(PPH) have been linked to the use of phentermine alone and in combination
with certain weight-loss medicines like dexfenfluramine (Redux) and
fenfluramine (Pondimin). These combinations were more commonly
known as the “phen-fen” diet. These drugs were removed from the U.S.
market due to safety concerns.
You should not take phentermine if you have heart disease (coronary
artery disease, congestive heart disease, irregular heartbeat, or stroke, thyroid
disease, glaucoma or anorexia. Phentermine is not recommended if
you are pregnant or are considering pregnancy. If you have other medical
conditions, you should discuss the use of phentermine with your physician.

Is there a program that offers free or low-cost
dental care in Mississippi?
Answer: There is a program called Mississippi Donated Dental
Services. There are several dentists in Vicksburg who participate.
The web site for this program is www.nfdh.org. There is an
application process. To be eligible a person has to have a serious
disability, advanced age, medical problems or lack adequate
income to pay for needed dental care.
A program coordinator will contact the applicant.

I get a stomachache each time I drink milk,
does this mean I am allergic to it?
Answer: Probably not. More than likely you have lactose intolerance
and symptoms may vary depending on the speed of stomach digestion
and bacteria of the colon. Lactose is the primary sugar of milk.
Lactose intolerance is the inability to digest lactose causing symptoms
such as abdominal bloating, cramping, pain, gas and watery diarrhea.
In addition to milk products, lactose can be found in commercially
baked bread, breakfast drinks, salad dressing, cake mixes, and as a
filler in over-the-counter medicines and prescription drugs. The
symptoms are similar to irritable bowel syndrome and should also be
differentiated from food allergies. Therefore, you should see your primary
care provider to sort through the symptoms and determine if
lactose intolerance, irritable bowel syndrome or a food allergy exists.

Light summer reading?
A John Grisham plot?
A company owned by a coal
tycoon is sued for illegally
destroying a rival business —
and gets whacked by a jury. The
verdict comes in at $50 million,
plus punitive damages. When the
case heads for appeal, the tycoon
funnels more than $3 million
into a political race for the state
supreme court. The contributions
are designed to unseat an incumbent
justice — and are perfectly
legal.
The challenger wins with 53.3
percent of the vote. The tycoon’s
company comes before the state
supreme court, and on a 3-2 vote,
the verdict is set aside.
The new justice refuses to step
away from the case. He votes
with the majority.
Real intrigue follows. The state
supreme court votes to rehear
the appeal. One of the justices
who voted with the majority
removes himself after photos surfaced
showing him vacationing
with the tycoon (on the French
Riviera) while the case was
pending.
One of the justices who voted to
uphold the verdict, meanwhile,
also recuses himself. He had criticized
the tycoon for pouring millions
of dollars into the judicial
election — calling into question
his impartiality.
But the new justice again
refuses to step aside. Indeed, by
now, he is acting chief justice, and
it falls to him to appoint replacements
for the two justices who
removed themselves from the
case.
The court again sets aside the
jury verdict.
The answer to the questions at
the outset are no and yes. The
facts are real — real enough that
they were adapted by Grisham.
Last Monday, the U.S. Supreme
Court supplied the Hollywood
ending. The case of the coal
tycoon and multimillion-dollar
campaign contributions is, in fact,
Caperton v. A.T. Massey Coal Co.
and arose in West Virginia.
In a 5-4 decision, the high court
held that the tycoon’s big money
violates due process — specifically,
“when a person with a personal
stake in a particular case
had a significant and disproportionate
influence in placing a
judge on a case by raising funds
or directing the judge’s election
campaign when the case was
pending or imminent.”
Chief Justice John Roberts
wrote the main dissent in the
Caperton case. He said he “fears”
the decision would lead litigants
to argue in courts across
the country that contributions
in judicial elections have undermined
judges’ impartiality and
ability to provide due process.
There’s no need for Roberts to
worry. Money already has poisoned
judicial elections. Parties
that make large contributions
and judges who accept them
should be called out for participating
in transactions that create
the appearance of justice for sale.
Indeed, reform will come only if
citizens complain — loudly and
vehemently.
Sadly, too few pay attention to
the courts and the fact that justice
can be and sometimes is for
sale.

MODERATELY CONFUSED

The role of resolutions is to fuel rhetoric
EMILY
WAGSTER

Does anyone think the Congress
sits around in Washington waiting
for advice from the Mississippi Legislature?
Or that folks in Eastabuchie
or Escatawpa care whether senators
or representatives at the state Capitol
commend or condemn a particular
program or proposal?
Mississippi legislators have sponsored
resolutions this year that had a
lot to do with making political statements
and little to do with solving
the substantial problems they were
elected to handle.
Democratic Rep. Jim Evans of Jackson,
an unabashed liberal, sponsored
House Concurrent Resolution 25,
to commemorate April 28, 2009, as
Workers Memorial Day. Evans has
worked as a national staff member
for the AFL-CIO, and his resolution
clearly was intended to show support
for the union’s work. The resolution
even mentioned the AFL-CIO in its
opening phrase.
Republican Rep. Greg Snowden of
Meridian, an outspoken conservative,
sponsored House Concurrent
Resolution 129 to urge the U.S. attorney
general and the federal Bureau
of Prisons not to transfer any Guantanamo
Bay terrorism detainees to
prisons in Mississippi.
Evans’ resolution passed the House
early this year, but only after a debate
that stretched into legislation pending
in Congress.
The AFL-CIO is among the supporters
of the federal “Employee Free
Choice Act,” which would make it
Mississippi legislators have
sponsored resolutions this year
that had a lot to do with making
political statements and little to
do with solving the substantial
problems they were elected to
handle.
easier for workers to organize for
collective bargaining. The act would
let a majority of employees at a work
site form a union by signing cards,
taking away employers’ right to
demand secret-ballot elections.
Evans’ resolution originally said
Workers Memorial Day was designed
to recognize “the right of workers to
organize and join unions without
employer interference or intimidation.”
House Republicans amended
it to say nothing should be done
to deny workers “a secure secret
ballot vote in all union representation
elections.”
Essentially, the Republicans made
Evans’ resolution say exactly the
opposite of what he wanted. The resolution
eventually died for lack of a
vote in the Republican-controlled
Senate Rules Committee.
Snowden had 62 co-sponsors for
his we-don’t-want-no-Gitmo resolution
— just over half of the House
members.
Mississippi is not alone in saying no
to Guantanamo detainees as President
Barack Obama discusses closing
the U.S. military prison in Cuba.
Legislators in several other states
have adopted similar resolutions.
Snowden’s resolution said that
“despite the best efforts of federal
and state corrections authorities,
these detainees, if transferred stateside
to facilities in American communities
and neighborhoods, would
present a significant threat to the
American people at large, and, most
especially, to those people located
near any detention facility.”
The resolution passed the House
overwhelmingly in the final days of
the regular legislative session, with
little debate. Opponents didn’t even
mention that prisons in Mississippi
have already hosted hardened criminals
from other places — including
Hawaiian inmates who rioted in
2005 at a privately run prison in the
tiny Mississippi Delta community of
Tutwiler.
The anti-Guantanamo resolution
died for lack of action in the Senate.
Neither Snowden’s resolution nor
Evans’ would have had much impact
on decision-makers outside the Mississippi
Capitol. Still, they gave legislators
something to talk about back
home, which is why it’s safe to bet
that other lawmakers will be filing
similar resolutions in the future.

Q: My husband and I have
had checking and savings
accounts in the same bank for
19 years. We recently received
a fee on the savings account
called an “excessive withdrawal
fee.” When I called the
bank’s 800 number, the gentleman
told
me
there is
a federal
law that
limits
savings
withdrawals
to
BRUCE
four per
WILLIAMS month.
He said
it has been in effect for years. I
thought he was crazy! When I
went into my local branch, the
customer service representative
told me the same thing,
refunded my fee and told me
to keep it to four withdrawals
a month to avoid the fee. We
have more than $100,000 in this
account, and have never been
charged a fee of any kind. Is
this really a law (supposedly
in effect since 1999!) or is it up
to the bank’s discretion? —
E.S., via e-mail
A: I have enclosed the regulation
that your bank is citing.
Until you wrote to us I was
not familiar with it. Why in
the world are you making so
many withdrawals a month?

likely would give you a better

A $100,000 depositor is

I would very much like to
hear from you again, explaining
to me what necessitates
four withdrawals in any one
month? Here is the “excessive
withdrawal fee” explanation
from the FDIC Web
site. “In the United States,
under Regulation D, 12 CFR
204.2(d)(2), the term ‘savings
deposit’ includes a deposit
or an account that meets the
requirements of Sec. 204.2(d)
(1) and from which, under the
terms of the deposit contract
or by practice of the depository
institution, the depositor
is permitted or authorized
to make up to six transfers
or withdrawals per month or
statement cycle of at least four
weeks. The depository institution
may authorize up to
three of these six transfers to
be made by check, draft, debit
card, or similar order drawn
by the depositor and payable
to third parties. There is no
regulation limiting number of
deposits, however some banks
may choose to limit deposits
themselves.”

NEW YORK — Investors

some room for optimism
a day after a stock market

The essence of Obama’s plan
is to require employers to provide

Edney, who practices with

said he also supports

may be stressed.
“I can’t stand the thought
of Vicksburg patients not

that his health-care overhaul,
including covering the
almost 50 million Americans
who have no insurance,
would cost about $1 trillion
over 10 years.
“That’s real money, even in
Washington,” he said. “But
remember: That’s less than
we are projected to have
spent on the war in Iraq.”
“I need your help, doctors,”
he said. “To most Americans,
you are the health-care
system. The fact is, Americans
— and I include myself,
Michelle, and our kids in this
— we just do what you tell us
to do.”

Italy agrees to take
3 from Guantanamo
WASHINGTON — Italian
Premier Silvio Berlusconi,
seeking to restore some
shine to his tattered international
image, agreed to take
three detainees from Guantanamo
Bay and praised
President Barack Obama
after a long meeting at the
White House.
The two leaders talked
Monday for more than two
hours on topics ranging from
Guantanamo to the agenda
for the July summit of the
Group of Eight leading industrial
nations in L’Aquila,
Italy, the Apennine mountain
town that was devastated by
an earthquake this spring.
Speaking at the end of the
Oval Office meeting, Obama
praised Berlusconi and said
he was “extremely grateful
for his friendship.” In turn,
the 72-year-old Berlusconi
lauded the young U.S. president
“for his deep knowledge
and precision and accuracy
with which he discusses all
of the issues.”
The meeting was an opportunity
for Berlusconi to rehabilitate
his reputation after
a scandal over his link to an
18-year-old model.

KABUL — A two-month
campaign season began
today for presidential elections
to decide who leads
Afghanistan for the next five
years, as the Taliban rebellion
grows more violent
and the U.S. sends in tens
of thousands of troops to
combat it.
Campaigning got off to a
slow start. The only signs
of activity were the posters
of President Hamid Karzai
— who is currently visiting
Russia — and some of his 40
opponents in the Aug. 20 vote
that appeared overnight on
the streets of Kabul.
Karzai, who has served as
Afghan leader since soon
after the Taliban regime’s
ouster in 2001 and comfortably
won the first presidential
vote in 2004, is expected
to win again. But many
Afghans are unhappy with
his leadership.

Brees honored for
community service
TULSA, Okla. — When
Drew Brees signed with
the New Orleans Saints as
a free agent, he knew he
had to provide the promise
of hope to the hurricaneravaged
city. But more importantly,
he wanted to actually
deliver it.
Just telling children in
New Orleans that he wanted
to help raise money to
overhaul schools, parks
and athletic fields wouldn’t
do. He wanted to make
sure “Operation Kids: Rebuilding
Dreams” became
a reality.
“To put yourself on the
line and say you’re going
to raise $1.8 million, that’s
kind of a gutsy deal especially
when, I think, there
had been a lot of broken
promises down there,”
Brees said Monday night
before the Henry P. Iba Citizen
Athlete Awards.
“We wanted to make
sure that people knew that
we were accountable to
what we said we were going
to do, we would follow
through with it and we
were able to do that.”
Brees was the male honoree
at the annual ceremony
that recognizes athletes
for being good citizens
and helping others. Former
Olympic weightlifter Melanie
Roach, an advocate for
autism research, was the
female honoree.
Brees was chosen for his
work with his “Brees Dream
Foundation,” which started
out as a way to raise funds
for children’s cancer research.
When Brees signed
with the Saints months after
Hurricane Katrina hit
the city in 2005, he found
a new cause that needed
his aid — but still keeping
with the mission of his
foundation, which has “always
been about kids.”
“In seven years, we’ve
been able to either raise
or commit $4.5 million. It’s
been tough,” Brees said. “It’s
been tough at times, especially
in this economy. To
raise money, you continue
to have to find creative
ways to do it.”

Favre open to comeback with Vikings
By The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Brett
Favre will know in several
weeks whether his surgically
repaired arm will allow him
to come out of retirement
again.
The quarterback made his
first public comments since
retiring from the New York
Jets in February in an interview
Monday night on “Joe
Buck Live.” He said the only
team he has spoken to is the
Minnesota Vikings — and
that they would be a perfect
fit because he’s familiar with
their offense. The three-time
NFL MVP said Dr. James
By The Associated Press
NfL
Andrews performed
the
surgery 2 1/2
weeks ago on
his throwing
arm. Andrews
told him it
would take
4-5 weeks to
know if he’ll
be able to
Brett
Favre
make all the throws he needs
to.
“If it ever gets to the
point where it feels like it
did before it started hurting,
then the biggest question
mark is out of the way,”
OMAHA, Neb. — LSU is
within a win of the College
World Series finals, and
Louis Coleman is pumped.
“We get to go to the zoo,”
the Tigers’ star pitcher said
with a big smile after a 9-1
victory over Arkansas on
Monday night.
A visit to the renowned
Omaha zoo, across the
street from Rosenblatt Stadium,
is only part of the
reward the Tigers earned
for winning.
No. 3-seeded LSU (53-16)
gets three days off while Virginia
(49-14-1) and Arkansas
(40-23) play an elimination
game Wednesday to
see which team meets the
Favre said.
Favre said Vikings coach
Brad Childress wanted him
to attend Minnesota’s recent
organized team activities,
but he declined.
“I figured there would be a
media frenzy if I was there,”
he said. “And there would be
a media frenzy if I couldn’t
play, if we had to say three
weeks later, ‘You know, his
arm’s just not up to par. He
can’t play.’
“So why not have just one
media frenzy, and that be
later on?”
HBO said Favre agreed in
April to appear on the show
at the request of Buck, the
Tigers in the Bracket 1 final.
The Cavaliers and Razorbacks
face the prospect of
having to win three games
to reach the best-of-three
finals next week.
LSU must win only one
more time, on Friday or
Saturday.
Earlier Monday, Virginia
defeated Cal State Fullerton
7-5, making the No. 2-seeded
Titans the first team
eliminated.
Play resumes today in
Bracket 2. North Carolina
(47-17) plays Southern
Miss(40-25) in an elimination
game in the afternoon.
No. 1 seed Texas (47-14-1)
squares off with Arizona
State (50-12) tonight, with
the winner taking control of
the bracket.
Mikie Mahtook, Austin
Nola and Blake Dean hit
home runs for LSU against
the Hogs. The Tigers have
hit five home runs in two
CWS games and have 99 for
the season, one short of last
year’s total.
Coleman, the SEC pitcher
of the year, scattered six
hits over six innings, allowing
one run and striking out
seven.
“It’s a coach’s dream right
now, how these guys are
conducting themselves as
far as their vision of the
game and their demeanor,”
LSU coach Paul Mainieri
said. “They’re a very confident
group right now. Let’s
take a few days off and get
ready for Friday.”
The Tigers turned on the
longtime baseball and football
announcer. That was
before his release from the
Jets, which prompted Minnesota’s
pursuit of the NFL’s
career leader in touchdown
passes.
Asked by Buck if he would
play this season, Favre
replied, “Um ... “ After a
pause, he said, “Maybe.”
“I know people are tired of
it, really,” Favre said earlier
of the drama that accompanies
his annual waffling
over retirement. “My intentions
are not to — although
it’s good for you — create
controversy.”
The Vikings were a presumed
suitor last summer
when Favre renounced his
retirement from the Packers
and was told Green Bay was
going with Aaron Rodgers at
quarterback. But the Packers
weren’t going to let him
go to their NFC North rivals,
and after a messy divorce
with Green Bay, Favre was
shipped to the Jets.
He threw 22 touchdown
passes and 22 interceptions
last season. The team finished
out 1-4 and missed the
playoffs, as Favre was bothered
by a torn biceps tendon.
The Vikings won their division
without him, but have
been unsettled at QB.
USM has
its back
against
the wall
From staff reports
Southern Miss has been
counted out before.
When it was struggling
through a mediocre regular
season. When it went
on the road to Atlanta for
its regional, and then to the
Gainesville Super Regional.
Each time, the Golden Eagles
found a way to scrap and
claw and advance.
This time might be different.
After Sunday’s lateinning
meltdown by the
bullpen, USM is facing a challenge
no program would willingly
take on. To stay alive
at the College World Series,
it needs to beat a deep and
talented North Carolina in
an elimination game this
afternoon.
After that, should the
Golden Eagles survive, a
string of three games against
Texas (47-14-1) and Arizona
State await. All three opponents
are national seeds in
the NCAA Tournament.
“We’ve faced adversity
before,” Southern Miss
second baseman James
Ewing said after Sunday’s
7-6 loss to Texas. “We’ve battled
back from being down.
What’s happened to us is
that we’ve found a way to
close out. This game was
sloppy on both sides. It is just
the way it goes; we didn’t
play well enough to win.”
The Golden Eagles may
have battled back before, but
not from anything like this.

Birmingham blasts M-Braves again to complete sweep

PEARL — The Birmingham
Barons are leaving town, and
not a moment too soon for
the Mississippi Braves.
Dayan Viciedo and Stefan
Gartrell each went 3-for-4
with a homer and three RBIs
as Birmingham finished off
an impressive five-game
sweep of the M-Braves on
Monday at Trustmark Park,
10-0.

M-Braves were swept this
season, and their second

In all, Birmingham is
8-2 against Mississippi this
season.
The Barons return to Trustmark
Park for a six-game
series starting next Monday,
but at least the Braves will
have a fresh start. The first
half of the Southern League
season ends on Sunday. Birmingham
clinched the firsthalf
South Division title on
Saturday night.
“Every time we go play
somebody, I ask who’s tough
in the league. The response
is always Birmingham,”
Braves first baseman Greg
Creek said. “Their pitching
is very consistent. Every
guy throws three pitches for
strikes. They don’t make a lot
of mis<strong>takes</strong> defensively, and
every mistake you make they
hit it hard.”
After winning 9-0 on
Sunday, Birmingham (43-20)
picked up where it left off
on Monday night. Viciedo
singled in a run in the top of
the first inning, then made
it 3-0 with a two-run homer
in the third. Javier Colina

fourth, and a titanic threerun

The Barons added one final
run on David Cook’s double
in the ninth to finish the
scoring.
Viciedo, Gartrell, Cook
and Tyler Flowers, the Nos.
3 through 6 hitters in the
Barons’ lineup, were a combined
10-for-16 on Monday
with five extra base hits,
eight runs scored and nine
RBIs.
The M-Braves (30-35),
meanwhile, continued to
struggle at the plate. The
team with the second-fewest
hits and the fewest runs
in the Southern League has
now gone 22 innings without
scoring.
Birmingham starter Kyle
McCullough threw seven
scoreless innings, striking
out three and walking none.
Jhonny Nunez and Fernando
Hernandez each threw one
inning of scoreless relief to
finish up.
“They can hit and we’re
not,” M-Braves manager
Phillip Wellman said. “When
they score a run every dang
inning, that makes it tough
with an offense like ours. We
have to win games 3-2 with
the offense we’ve got.”
The M-Braves will now hit
the road for five games at
Chattanooga to finish up the
first half.

Cavaliers eliminate Titans
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Virginia
trumped another ace.
The Cavaliers beat All-American
Daniel Renken and Cal
State Fullerton 7-5 on Monday,
extending their first appearance
in the College World
Series and eliminating the
Titans.
Just two weeks ago, Virginia
defeated San Diego State star
and No. 1 overall draft pick
Stephen Strasburg in the
regionals.
Virginia scored four times
against Renken in the second
inning, and he was finished in
the sixth after allowing a season-high
six runs.
“To put up four runs on
an All-America pitcher like
Renken is a great inning for
us and, believe me, I wanted
more,” Cavaliers coach Brian
O’Connor said.
The Cavs did get more,
which was a good thing for
them because Fullerton had
the winning run at the plate
in the ninth inning before Virginia
secured its first win in
Omaha.
Virginia (49-14-1) next plays
Arkansas (40-23) in a Bracket
1 elimination game Wednesday.
Fullerton (47-16) has lost
five straight in the CWS.
Renken (11-3), who had gone
at least eight innings in 10 of
his previous 11 starts, was
taken out after Franco Valdes’
two-out double in the sixth.
Nick Ramirez came on and
gave up a pair of RBI singles
that made it a four-run game.
“I’m pretty upset with myself
today for falling behind on
counts and not sticking to my
Braves tumble into NL East cellar
ATLANTA (AP) — The
standings which show the
Atlanta Braves falling fast in
the NL East are not the only
cause for concern.
The stories behind the winloss
totals — a lack of hitting
and lackadaisical play —
also are troubling for Atlanta,
which has lost seven of its last
11.
The Braves (30-32) were off
on Monday after losing two
straight games at Baltimore to
fall below Florida into fourth
place in the NL East, 6 1/2
games behind Philadelphia.
The Braves’ road trip resumes
at Cincinnati this week before
a weekend series at Boston.
Starting pitching has been
the team’s strength, but ace
Derek Lowe didn’t make it out
of the third inning in Sunday’s
11-2 loss to the Orioles.
Perhaps more notable than

baseball
game plan,” Renken said. “It
was inexcusable for me. Virginia
is a good team, but I
made them look a lot better.
That’s my fault. I’ll come back
baseball
Lowe’s short stint was manager
Bobby Cox making the
rare move of benching shortstop
Yunel Escobar during the
game.
Cox believed Escobar, who
committed four errors during
a nine-game homestand
before the weekend series at
Baltimore, was slow to react
on Sunday when the Orioles
pulled off their first steal of
home since May 23, 2007.
With the Orioles ahead 4-0 in
the second inning, Brian Roberts
was caught off first. Escobar
was about to tag Roberts
before realizing too late that
Robert Andino was running
from third base. Andino easily
beat Escobar’s throw.
“We pride ourselves on
doing things right, being in
the game and (we) don’t do
next year and prove I shouldn’t
have done that.”
Dustin Garneau’s two-run
homer off Virginia starter
Robert Morey put Fullerton
up 2-0 in the second inning.
Virginia took the lead for good
in the bottom half by scoring
four times.
Keith Werman, the Cavaliers’
ninth-place hitter, singled
home the tying run and
Danny Hultzen hit a two-run
single past diving right fielder
Gary Brown.
Werman continued his key
hitting in the College World
Series, going 2 for 4 and driving
in two runs. The 140-pound
freshman is 6 for 9 with two
doubles and three RBIs in two
CWS games.
Hultzen said he and his
teammates drew confidence
from beating Strasburg.
“A guy like Stephen Strasburg
is a different case
because he could be the best
college pitcher ever,” Hultzen
said. “But we prepare for each
starting pitcher the same
way.”
Fullerton, 21-9 in NCAA tournament
elimination games
since 1999, tried to come back
against closer Kevin Arico in
the ninth.
Joey Siddons had an infield
single and Christian Colon
reached on an error before
Brown’s RBI single.
Arico struck out Josh Fellhauer,
but then Virginia shortstop
Tyler Cannon’s backhand
flip to Werman pulled
the 5-foot-7 second baseman
off the bag as he tried to get
the forceout, allowing another
run to score.
Cannon redeemed himself
moments later when Khris
Davis grounded to him. This
time Cannon made a perfect
flip to Werman for the final
out.Virginia used five pitchers,
with Andrew Carray (9-1)
getting the win.
things lackadaisically,” said
Cox, who moved rookie shortstop
Diory Hernandez into the
game in the third inning.
Escobar also was slow to
react on a throw to the plate
in the Braves’ 3-2 home loss
to the Pirates on Wednesday
night. Pittsburgh’s Craig
Monroe kept running around
third after taking off from
second as Kelly Johnson made
a diving stop of a grounder
and flipped to Escobar for an
attempted force at second
base.
Monroe scored as Escobar
was wild on his belated throw
to the plate.
“It wasn’t heads-up,” Cox
said of Escobar’s play last
week.
Johnson said Escobar “probably
assumed (Monroe) wasn’t
going to score. You’ve just got
to peek in at the runner. Certainly
it was the last thing on
my mind too, that he (Monroe)
would be going.”
Cox sighed when asked
Sunday if benching Escobar
will make a point.
“I’ve talked to him an awful
lot since he’s been here,” Cox
said.
Escobar’s bat makes him an
important part of the lineup.
He is hitting .293 with six
homers and leads the team
with 33 RBIs and 35 runs.
The Braves probably can’t
keep Escobar out with the lack
of offensive support for Chipper
Jones, who is in an 0-for-21
slump, and Brian McCann in
the middle of the lineup.
“I’m tired of being frustrated,”
Jones said after the
Braves scored a combined
three runs in consecutive
losses to Pittsburgh to end a
4-5 homestand last week.
Amateurs thrilled for shot at U.S. Open
By Doug Ferguson
AP golf writer
FARMINGDALE, N.Y. —
Tiger Woods held the putter
with only his left hand as he
rapped a 60-foot putt across
the practice green. Then he
hit another putt with his right
hand, a third putt with both
hands in conventional style
He asked for the wedge to
try a variety of shots out of
sticky grass, searching for the
best approach.
Woods knows all the drills.
This is his 15th straight year
playing in the U.S. Open, and
his third attempt this decade
at joining an elite group as
back-to-back champions in
the so-called toughest test in
golf.
Woods is the overwhelming
favorite at Bethpage Black,
golf
where he won by three shots
in 2002 as the only player to
finish under par. The challenge
figures to come from a
familiar cast, whether it’s Padraig
Harrington or Phil Mickelson,
Geoff Ogilvy or Jim
Furyk.
What gives the U.S. Open
its charm, however, are the
long shots. Ogilvy finished
warming up on the range
and walked past players he
had never seen. One of them
was Scott Lewis, a 20-year-old
amateur still trying to get over
the shock of playing in his first
U.S. Open.
Lewis just finished his sophomore
year at the University
of California-Santa Barbara,
where his best finish this year
was a tie for seventh in the

An alternate from sectional
qualifying, he didn’t learn he
was in the U.S. Open until
Friday. Before he could blink,
he had an audience like never
before.
“People are watching me
hit balls,” he said. “First time
that’s ever happened.”
Stranger still was walking to
the range and hearing someone
ask for an autograph. He
kept right on walking until
his father, who is caddying for
him, realized no one else was
around and tapped his son on
the shoulder to sign.
On the far end of the range
was Clinton Jensen, a 34-yearold
father of two young girls
who quit golf for a couple of
years until he realized he
couldn’t stay away. He is playing

For every Woods, Mickelson
and Harrington who are
trying to add to their collection
of majors, there are
players like Lewis, Jensen
and 19-year-old David Erdy
who are simply happy to be
at Bethpage Black. The U.S.
Open is the only major where
more than 50 percent of the
field is open to any player willing
to qualify.

Captain America rises from dead
Captain America is rising from the grave.
The Marvel Comics superhero returns for the five-part series
“Captain America Reborn,” beginning July 1.
But Marvel won’t disclose how he rises from the dead. Executive
Editor Tom Brevoort teases that the character has been “on
a Vonnegut-esque metaphysical journey,” including some soulsearching
about his place in the world.
A&E cancels Swayze drama, ‘The Beast’
“The Beast,” a police drama that starred the ailing
Patrick Swayze, will not return for a second
season, A&E announced Monday.
The series, which premiered in January, starred
Swayze as Charles Barker, a rogue undercover
FBI agent teamed up with rookie Ellis Dove, Travis
Fimmel. The series was filmed on location in
Chicago.
Reviews for the series were mixed and its audience
averaged 1.3 million viewers through the Swayze
Patrick
13 episodes, which concluded their run in April.
But Swayze was unstinting in a rough-and-tumble performance
that he maintained while battling pancreatic cancer. His
illness had no discernible effect on his gritty portrayal.
A&E President Bob DeBitetto called the performance “an inspiration
to us all.”
DeBitetto said the series “has truly been a labor of love for everyone,”
but added that “after careful deliberation we have reluctantly
decided not to attempt a second season.”
Alba won’t face vandalism charges
Police have decided against pursuing a criminal vandalism

Alba, who has apologized.
Police never interviewed the 28-year-old co-star of the “Fantastic
Four” movies, “Sin City and “Good Luck Chuck.” She is in
Oklahoma City shooting a movie, “The Killer Inside Me.”
Palin <strong>accepts</strong> Letterman’s latest apology
‘I’m sorry about it, and I’ll try to do better in the future,’ comedian says
NEW YORK (AP) — Sarah
Palin says she <strong>accepts</strong> David
Letterman’s apology for the
joke about her daughter.
The Alaska governor, in a
statement issued today, said
the apology was accepted “on
behalf of all young women,
like my daughters, who hope
men who ‘joke’ about public
displays of sexual exploitation
of girls will soon evolve.”
On his CBS’ “Late Show”
Monday night, Letterman
said his joke about one of Palin’s
daughters being “knocked
up” by Alex Rodriguez can’t
be defended.
He said the joke referred to
18-year-old Bristol Palin, not
her 14-year-old sister, Willow.
But Letterman said it’s his
responsibility that people
believed that he intended
to target Willow, who had
attended a New York Yankees
game with her mother.
Gov. Sarah
Palin
David
Letterman
“I’m sorry about it, and I’ll
try to do better in the future,”
he said.
Letterman last week tried
to make light of the joke after
the first indications that it had
fallen flat. Palin had called
the comments “sexually perverted,”
and her husband,
Todd, said that “any jokes
about raping my 14-year-old
are despicable.”
Palin said today that Letterman
has the right to joke about
whatever he wants to, and
“thankfully we have the right
to express our reaction.”
“This is all thanks to our U.S.
military men and women putting
their lives on the line for
us to secure an American’s
right to free speech,” she said.
“In this case, may that right be
used to promote equality and
respect.”
Although Bristol, an unwed
mother, was the target of his
joke, Letterman didn’t name
her when it was originally
made on June 8.
It was “a coarse joke,” “a bad
joke,” Letterman told viewers.
“But I never thought it was
(about) anybody other than
the older daughter, and before
the show, I checked to make
sure, in fact, that she is of legal
age, 18.”
“The joke, really, in and of
itself, can’t be defended,” he
declared.
If there’s a misconception
that he was making the joke

about a 14-year-old, Letterman
said he understands why
people are upset. “I would be
upset myself,” he said.
“I feel that I need to do the
right thing here and apologize
for having told that
joke,” he said. “It’s not your
fault that it was misunderstood,
it’s my fault that it was
misunderstood.”
Letterman made several references
to the issue during his
monologue, introducing himself
as “Dave Letterman, goodwill
ambassador.” He said he
got a call from his mother earlier
in the day telling him she
was siding with Palin.
When he began a joke about
Bernard Madoff, whom he
called “the most hated man in
America,” he then amended
that to a list of two.
“Me, Bernie Madoff,” he said.
“He was waaay out in front
until a couple of days ago.”

AND ONE MOrE
Oh, boy! Moms sue, say sex tests wrong
Six New York City mothers are suing the maker of a baby sex
test that touted its product as “infallibly accurate,” saying the test
results they received were wrong.
In papers filed in Manhattan Supreme Court, the women claim
they received incorrect results from the $275 Baby Gender Mentor
test by Acu-Gen Biolab Inc., of Lowell, Mass.
The suit claims the test maker advertised its product as the
“gold standard for prenatal gender detection.”
The company’s Web site says the test can determine a baby’s
sex as early as five to eight weeks’ gestation.
Lawyer Barry Gainey said the lawsuit charges the product’s
makers and marketers with negligence and fraud, and seeks unspecified
damages.

Bridesmaid looks for graceful way to bow out
Dear Abby: I’m in my early
20s and have worked for this
company for a few years. One
of my co-workers is my age
and has always been very
sweet. We talk occasionally
about casual events in our
lives, but I have never socialized
with her outside of work
and don’t consider her more
than a “work friend.”
When she became engaged,
I told her I was happy for her
and admired her ring. Out of
the blue she asked me to be
a bridesmaid! I was taken by
surprise, but she looked so
hopeful that I agreed. I realize
now it was a huge mistake.
She is a nice girl, but we talk
DEAR
ABBY

BUREN
only at work, maybe three
times a month. She has also
asked two other girls from
work to be a bridesmaid and
maid of honor. They are in the
same boat as I am, and both
were also shocked to have
been asked.
The wedding is a year and a
half away. I am worried that
TOMORROW’S HOROSCOPE
BY BERNICE BEDE OSOL • NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSOCIATION
If tomorrow is your birthday: The year ahead could turn out to
be one of your more exceptional periods, especially with regard
to personal projects or enterprises that harness your imagination
and creativity. Don’t discount political situations, either.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Your own personal interests and
ambitions have excellent chances for success. Although you
might be involved with others in your pursuits, the good developments
come from your personal input.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Lady Luck herself might take over
the management of your affairs, particularly with regard to an
arrangement of some importance to you. She will place you in
the right spot at the right time.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — An alliance into which you’ve recently
entered might prove to be of far greater significance than either
you or your counterpart anticipated. You’ll get the first signals of
this development.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Some constructive trends should
start to override any recent undesirable circumstances, especially
those concerning your career and financial circumstances.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Vigorously pursue any enterprising
ideas you conceive at this time. Don’t treat these perceptions
indifferently, because you could be on to something extremely
valuable.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Look for signals that tell you the
timing is right to make those positive changes in your life. If
your blueprint is strong, you could build a new future.
Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — What’s your secret for working
out winning arrangements or agreements? You want to share
everything with the other guy. Much good could come from
your efforts.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — This is likely to be an extremely
fortunate day with regard to furthering your worldly ambitions.
Establish meaningful objectives for yourself, and take positive
measures to achieve them.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Be alert for a new venture or enterprise
that could suddenly drop in your lap. Even if it appears
iffy at first, check it out because, upon further investigation, it
could prove to be big.
Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — A situation that has caused you
a degree of concern looks as if it will work out beautifully. More
important, however: What happens could be a harbinger of
something far more promising.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — An outside influence on which
you hadn’t figured might eclipse your plans. However, it will
provide some terrific benefits and lots of fun.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — This could be one of those days
when everything you touch turns to gold. If you’re smart, you’ll
concentrate your efforts in this area. Big things might result.
TWEEN 12 & 20
BY DR. ROBERT WALLACE • NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSOCIATION
Dr. Wallace: I get A’s and B’s in all of my classes — except
math, where I only receive C’s. My math grades have kept me off
the honor roll. I have taken two years of math (algebra, geometry)
and that fulfills my math requirement for graduation.
My dad, who is a math genius, is always on my case to get better
grades in that subject. I study hard and do all my homework,
but I just don’t find math easy. My dad is insisting that I sign up
for calculus next September when I will be in the 11th grade.
I’d rather not take any more math because I want to become a
high school English teacher, and I want to make the honor roll
my last two years in high school.
I know that my father will make the final decision, but I’d like
to hear what you have to say about this. — Nameless, Toledo,
Ohio.
Nameless: Sounds to me like something doesn’t quite add up
in your relationship with Dad. He loves math and is forcing it on
you. I fear all he’s going to accomplish is inculcating in you a lifelong
hatred of the subject. He needs to let up.
In my opinion, you should be allowed to take other challenging
courses in your junior and senior years — not merely so you
can make the honor roll, but also to maximize the benefits of
your high-school education.
No one learns when a subject is forced down his or her throat.
Dr. Wallace: When I was 5, my parents divorced and I went
to live with my grandmother in the country. I am now 13 and
have been with my grandmother for eight years; I love her very
much. She is more like a mother to me than my own mother.
About three months ago, my mother remarried, and now she
and my stepfather want me to move in with them. This means I
would leave all my friends and teachers in Arlington, Tenn., and
move to Memphis, Tenn., with my mother and a stranger who
would be called daddy.
I do love my mother, but I’m a country girl and Memphis is a
big city. At home with Grandmother, I’m needed and wanted.
— Alyssa, Arlington, Tenn.
Alyssa: If I were in a similar situation, I would feel exactly the
same as you.
If you must move, your best bet is to look at this as an adventure
rather than an uprooting. If your mother and stepfather
have a positive and loving attitude, and truly welcome you
in their midst, then your move to Memphis could be a growing
and learning experience. And I’m sure you will make new
friends once you have settled in at school.

it will cost me money. Don’t
bridesmaids have to buy their
own dresses? I would never
want someone in my wedding
who didn’t want to be there
and who honestly didn’t consider
herself my friend. Is
there an appropriate way to
get out of this and not hurt
her feelings? — Distressed in
San Diego
Dear Distressed: It is not
necessary to tell your coworker
that you do not consider
her a friend. But do tell
her that, while you are flattered
that she asked you to be
a bridesmaid, you responded
impulsively without thinking
it through and that it would
create a financial hardship for
you — which is why you must
decline. Obviously, this young
woman has no close friends, so
do her a favor by not making
this a topic of conversation at
the office.
P.S. You are correct that it
is the responsibility of the
bridesmaid to pay for her own
outfit.

Nighttime twitches
should be checked out
ASK
THE
DOCTOR
DR. PETER
GOTT
Dear Dr. Gott: Once in a
while, my body will “jerk”
involuntarily as I fall asleep.
What causes this? Does it
mean I have a heart condition
or other problem?
Dear Reader: You appear to
be describing a type of myoclonus.
These sudden, involuntary
muscle twitches are most
often a symptom of an underlying
disorder, some of which
are more serious than others.
Of the more than eight forms
of myoclonus, potential causes
range from Restless Legs Syndrome
to multiple sclerosis,
Parkinson’s and epilepsy.
Based on your brief note, I
cannot give detailed information
about a diagnosis but suspect
you are suffering from
sleep myoclonus. This form is
characterized by twitches of
a muscle or group of muscles
that occur during the initial
phases of sleep, most often at
the moment of dropping off
to sleep. Most people with
this type of myoclonus don’t
require treatment but should
be examined by a physician to
determine whether there is an
underlying cause.
Because you don’t give an age
or gender, I cannot give specific
advice with regard to testing,
but I recommend you discuss
the situation with your physician.
Be sure to tell him or her
about the frequency, severity,
immediate preceding events
(such as whether there was a
loud noise, flash of light, etc.,
just before the jerk) and how
long you have been experiencing
the symptom. Because of
the possibility of RLS, a sleep
study may be beneficial.
If your physician is uncomfortable
ordering testing
and attempting a diagnosis,
request a referral to a neurologist,
who should be familiar
with the symptom.
Dear Dr. Gott: I am a 58-yearold
widow. Recently, my regular
doctor retired, so I went to
a new one for my yearly mammogram.
As the doctor was
examining my breast, he told
me that he found a lump and
asked me if I had felt it during
my self-exams. I hadn’t. He
sent me to get the mammogram,
but nothing was found,
so I was then sent for an ultrasound.
Again, nothing was
found, and the technician also
did a manual exam and found
nothing. When I returned to
the doctor, he said I needed
further testing, and, when I
asked why, he said, “Because I
definitely feel a pea-size lump,
and it needs to be taken care
of.”
My insurance has paid only
one-third of the costs incurred,
and I cannot afford any more
tests at this time. Why would
my doctor want me to have
more tests when I, both tests
and the sonogram tech can’t
find anything abnormal? This
has been a scary and costly
experience. What should I
do?
Dear Reader: You are in a
bind. On one hand, you may
have early breast cancer. But
on the other, you may not and
will have wasted a significant
amount of money.
I take breast cancer very
seriously. One reason is that
the disease usually responds
well to therapy if diagnosed
in its early stages.
Your best course of action
is to obtain a second opinion
from a surgeon who is especially
experienced in treating
breast lesions. If the surgeon
cannot feel the breast lump,
he or she may suggest holding
off and retesting you in three
or six months. If everything
continues to appear normal,
resume your yearly mammograms
and follow your doctor’s
suggestions.
