Isle givenapprovalto purchaseRainbowBy Steve [email protected]

Isle of Capri Casinos got clearance from the Mississippi Gaming Com-mission Thursday to move ahead with its planned purchase of Rainbow Casino from Bally Technologies for about $80 million.

Isle of Capri and Bally offi cials announced the sale in early April, and Rainbow Casino Marketing Direc-tor Mickey Fedell said Thursday the casino will offi cially change hands on June 9 without any closures. Fedell said the casino will carry the Rain-bow name and brand until probably next year.

“Everything will stay the same ini-tially,” Fedell said. “We will have a name-branding transition probably in January or February, along with some grand opening events.”

Rainbow, one of fi ve casinos in the city, has about 300 employees, 830 slot machines, 10 table games, an 89-room hotel and two restaurants.

“Nothing is changing with our staff-ing,” Fedell said. “The only difference is we’ll be Isle of Capri employees on June 9.”

Isle of Capri operates under two main brands, including their self-titled casinos and Lady Luck casi-nos. Isle representatives have said they believe Rainbow would best fi t into the Lady Luck brand. Fedell said no fi nal decision on branding has yet been made.

Bally offi cials have said the com-pany is selling Rainbow to focus on its “core business” — designing, manu-facturing, operating and distribut-ing gaming devices, including slot machines, as well as systems and technology related to casino opera-tions. Along with the sale, Bally also announced a new deal with Isle of Capri to provide games and technol-ogy for all 15 Isle properties.

Mud helps,but resultsunknownBy The Associated Press

COVINGTON, La. — BP has made progress toward plugging its Gulf of Mexico oil spill with mud but won’t know for two more days if the fi x will really work, the company and the gov-ernment’s point man for the disaster said today.

Coast Guard Admiral Thad Allen said heavyweight mud that BP has injected under high pressure into the blown-out wellhead was able to push down the oil and gas coming up at great force from underground. But the mud has not overwhelmed the gusher or stopped the fl ow permanently.

“I think the real challenge today is going to be to sus-tain the mud on top of the hydrocarbons (oil and gas) and reduce the pressure to

151 volunteers wrap up year of helpingBy Tish [email protected]

More than 200 people fi lled the Southern Cultural Heri-tage Center’s auditorium Thursday to cheer on gradu-ating AmeriCorps National Civilian Community Corps members who have com-pleted 270,000 community service hours throughout the Southern Region during the past year.

“You’ve done things like helping those with the most need throughout the South,” state Sen. Briggs Hopson told the 151 volunteers who now will return home, begin their careers, travel, return to school or commit to a second year with NCCC here in Vicksburg. “You might not know it, but you’ve touched the lives of many people.

“You are givers, and I hope you have encouraged others in the community to be givers,” said Hopson.

Geoffery Hill, 24, whose home is Riverside, Calif., has been in Vicksburg for the year as a support team leader. MEREDITH SPENCER•THE VICKSBURG POST

the point where they could actually put a cement plug in and I think it will be very critical in the next 12 to 18 hours and everyone is watch-ing it very closely,” Allen said.

Meanwhile, President Barack Obama was headed this morning to coastal Loui-siana for an update on efforts to stop the flow of crude.

Interrupting a Memorial Day weekend trip to his Chicago home, Obama was to visit a beach set up with protective booms alongside Adm. Thad Allen, who is overseeing the spill response. Obama was

then to travel to the U.S. Coast Guard Station in Grand Isle to attend a briefing by Allen and meet with several offi-cials, including the governors of Louisiana, Florida and Ala-bama. He was spending about three hours in the region.

“I think he needs to see the folks working on the beach with the cleanup,” Allen said this morning. “I think it’s a real, real tough challenge, especially in the remote areas where you have marshlands involved and you can’t always get there easily and the sur-veillance is difficult.”

BP, which owns the well

and is the largest oil and gas producer in the United States, began injecting mud into the well on Wednesday afternoon in an untested bid to end a spill whose millions of gallons have surpassed the Exxon Valdez disaster. The catastrophe started with an oil rig explosion April 20 that killed 11 workers.

The maneuver, called a top kill, has worked on land but has never been tried in deep water. It comes after BP failed to plug the leak with a blowout preventer and couldn’t capture the crude with a mile-long tube.

A Vicksburg man who was stabbed Thursday afternoon was treated and released from River Region Medical Center, hospital spokesman Allen Karel said.

Walter Mickey, 48, 603 Elton Drive, was stabbed once in the left side of his abdomen at about 3:30 at 280 Tully St. in Waltersville Estates, Vicksburg police Sgt. Jeff Merritt said.

No suspects have been identified, he said.

“Due to conflicting reports, the matter is still under investigation,” said Merritt.

City man jailedfor felony eluding

A Vicksburg man was in the Warren County Jail today charged with felony eluding.

At 8:39 Thursday night, Mark Barnes, 22, 402 Locust St., refused to show his driv-er’s license to Vicksburg patrolmen at a road block on North Washington Street near the Vicksburg National Military Park’s National Cemetery and drove away, police Sgt. Jeff Merritt said.

Officer Bobby Jones chased Barnes to the 400 block of Locust Street, where the sus-pect ran from his car, Merritt said.

After identifying and con-tacting the owner of the vehi-cle, police arrested Barnes at 11:39 p.m. at 320 Bayou Blvd., Merritt said.

Barnes was being held without bond pending an ini-tial appearance in court.

City teen chargedwith sexual battery

A Vicksburg man surren-dered to Warren County offi-cials Thursday on a charge of sexual battery that was reported on Wednesday.

At 4:10 p.m., deputies booked John Thompson Graham, 17, 4407 Halls Ferry Road, into the jail and charged him in the sexual battery of a girl younger than 14, Warren County Sheriff Martin Pace said.

The child has been treated and released from River Region Medical Center, Pace said.

Graham was being held on a $100,000 bond.

Woman on probationjailed for violation

A Vicksburg woman was in the Warren County Jail today after violating her pro-bation, records showed.

Jessica White, 19, 1239 Boy Scout Road, was being held without bond.

Boy injured on bikehospitalized at UMC

A 7-year-old boy was in fair condition today at the Uni-versity of Mississippi Medi-cal Center after being injured

while riding his bike, hospital spokesman Peggy Wagner said.

Jaylen Davis, 214 Alfred Drive, was going down a hill near his home when “appar-ently he lost control of the bike” and hit a metal pole in the yard of 110 Alfred, Vicks-burg Sgt. Beverly Prentiss said.

She said the child’s father, Melvin Davis, took him to River Region Medical Center at about 4:14 p.m. with head and arm injuries.

“The father was out there,” said Prentiss. “He said his son had just learned to ride on his own.”

Guns popularamong burglars

Electronics and weapons were favored in burglaries reported Thursday in Vicks-burg and Warren County.

At 2:11 p.m., a 12-gauge Winchester shotgun, a 16-gauge automatic shotgun, a 16-gauge single-shot shot-gun, a 20-gauge automatic shotgun, a 31-inch Sanyo flat-screen TV valued at $467, a Lenovo laptop computer, a Dell desktop computer, a Toshiba VCR/DVD player and a Sanyo remote control were reported stolen from a home in the 3400 block of U.S. 61 South, Vicksburg Police Sgt. Jeff Merritt said.

A gold bracelet was reported stolen from a home in the 1100 block of Jefferson Street at 12:28 p.m.

An hour earlier, a CD player was reported stolen from a 2004 Ford Focus in the 2200 block of Drummond Street.

In the county, at 11:09 a.m., a 40-inch Sony flat-screen TV valued at $1,600 was reported stolen in the 4600 block of Lee Road.

A bottle of dish-washing liquid, a remote control and a computer were reported stolen in the 300 block of Fisher Ferry Road at 4 p.m.

U.S. predicts up to 7 major hurricanes in AtlanticMIAMI (AP) — The Atlan-

tic hurricane season could be the busiest since 2005, when Katrina and Rita caused mas-sive destruction along the same part of the Gulf Coast now struggling with the larg-est offshore oil spill in U.S. his-tory, government scientists said Thursday.

The 2010 season may spawn as many as 23 named tropical storms, including up to seven major hurricanes, a number not likely to be affected by the spill, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicted.

Eight to 14 storms would strengthen into hurricanes, with top winds of 74 mph or higher, the agency said. Three to seven of those could become major storms that reach Cat-egory 3 or higher — meaning they bring sustained winds of at least 111 mph.

“This season could be one of the more active on record,” NOAA administrator Jane Lubchenco said in a news release. “The greater like-lihood of storms brings an increased risk of a landfall. In short, we urge everyone to be prepared.”

A hurricane might help break up the oil spill stain-ing the Gulf of Mexico, but the oil won’t affect significantly how tropical storms develop, forecasters said. They don’t know what kind of environ-mental hazards to expect,

though there are fears that winds and waves could push the oil deeper into estuaries and wetlands.

Government scientists said Thursday that anywhere from 500,000 gallons to a million gallons a day has been leak-

ing from the site where an oil rig exploded April 20, kill-ing 11 people. BP PLC, which leased the rig and is respon-sible for the cleanup, and the Coast Guard previously had estimated the flow was about 210,000 gallons per day.

The expanding slick already has coated wildlife and marshes in Louisiana, but Lubchenco said the spill is still small relative to hurricanes — which sometimes span the entire Gulf.

Although some oil could be pushed inland by a storm as it makes landfall, it could be dif-ficult to determine whether it leaked from flooded cars or factories, Federal Emergency Management Agency chief Craig Fugate said.

The 2010 government fore-cast is based on the weakening of El Nino. The Pacific Ocean phenomenon created strong wind shear that helped sup-press storm development in the Atlantic last season. Record warm water temperatures also will feed storms crossing the Atlantic this year.

Three hurricanes developed out of nine tropical storms in 2009. None of the hurricanes came ashore in the United States.

Hurricane Ida hit Nicara-gua as a Category 1 storm in November.

Florida Gov. Charlie Crist urged coastal residents to remember the destruction left

in the wake of hurricanes in 2004 and 2005.

“Don’t take anything for granted,” Crist said at the annual Florida Governor’s Hurricane Conference in Fort Lauderdale. “We don’t need to suffer from hurricane amnesia.”

National Hurricane Center Director Bill Read said Wednesday that his biggest concern for the season is a storm striking Haiti, where hundreds of thousands of people have been living in makeshift camps since the Jan. 12 earthquake. Heavy rains can trigger serious flooding and mudslides in the moun-tainous Caribbean country, but no evacuation plans exist for displaced communities.

Tropical storms are named when their sustained winds reach 39 mph. The first named storm of the 2010 season will be Alex.

In April, Colorado State Uni-versity researchers predicted 15 named storms would form this season, with four develop-ing into major hurricanes.

The Atlantic hurricane season begins Tuesday and runs through Nov. 30.

Rape conviction reversed by Mississippi high court

JACKSON — The Missis-sippi Supreme Court has ruled that a Greenwood man was convicted under the wrong statute.

The justices Thurs-day threw out the convic-tion and 30-year sentence handed Raphael Flowers in 2007 for raping a 7-year-old boy in 2006.

The Supreme Court said Flowers should have been charged under the sexual battery law. The court ordered Flowers returned to Leflore County to await action by a grand jury.

State judge accusedof misconduct

JACKSON — A judicial watchdog has recommended that Chancery Judge Larry Buffington be publicly rep-

rimanded for subpoenas he issued for two Simpson County supervisors in 2009.

The Commission on Judi-cial Performance on Thurs-day filed the complaint with the Mississippi Supreme Court, which oversees all judicial misconduct petitions.

The commission said it found Buffington lacked authority to command the supervisors to appear before him to answer ques-tions about who leaked to the media his appointment of a former state justice as a Simpson County Youth Court public defender.

Buffington said that the reprimand was fair.

WASHINGTON — After the British army conquered the Sindh region of what is now modern-day Pakistan in the 1840s, Gen. Charles Napier enforced a ban on the practice of Sati — the burning of widows alive on the funeral pyres of their hus-bands. A delegation of Hindu lead-ers approached Napier to complain that their ancient traditions were being violated. The general is said to have replied: “You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. ... You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.”

The incident can hardly be com-mended as a model of cross-cultural relations, but it clarifi es a tension. Confl ict can arise between respect for other cultures and respect for universal human rights.

This is particularly true when it comes to the rights of women. Tradi-tional societies can be deeply admira-ble — conservative, family-oriented, stable, wise about human nature and human society. But they can also be highly patriarchal, evidenced by such practices as Sati, foot-binding, widow inheritance and female cir-

cumcision. This is not to say that modern, rights-based societies are without their own faults and failures; it is only to recognize that multicul-turalism and human rights can some-times clash.

For the most part, these tensions no longer emerge through colonial-ism but through migration, which can transplant a traditional culture smack in the middle of an aggres-sively liberal one. The most visible areas of difference — say in dress — can spark controversy, just as the wearing of the burqa is now doing in Europe.

Belgium is moving toward a total ban on face-covering veils in public. Italian police recently fi ned a woman for wearing a burqa. In France, a law

banning garments “designed to hide the face” is likely to be introduced in July. “The burqa is not a sign of reli-gion,” says French President Nicolas Sarkozy, “it is a sign of subservience. It will not be welcome on the terri-tory of the French Republic.”

Disagreements about the burqa among Islamic women are often heated. This is to be expected because religious covering means different things in different contexts. It can be a “body bag” placed on unwilling women by threatening relatives and religious police. It can be, accord-ing to one critic, “a sad process of self-isolation and self-imposed exile.” But it can also be a way for women from traditional backgrounds to pre-serve their marriage prospects and

family honor in mixed-sex settings. Many women who wear the burqa are fully conscious of the choice they are making.

The motives of European leaders in this controversy are less sym-pathetic. Some speak deceptively (and absurdly) of a security motive for banning Islamic covering. Who knows what they are hiding? But by this standard, the war on terror would mandate the wearing of biki-nis. The real purpose of burqa bans is to assert European cultural identity — secular, liberal and individualis-tic — at the expense of a visible, tra-ditional religious minority. A nation such as France, proudly relativistic on most issues, is convinced of its cultural superiority when it comes to sexual freedom. A country of topless beaches considers a ban on exces-sive modesty. The capital of the fash-ion world, where women are often overexposed and objectifi ed, lectures others on the dignity of women.

For what the opinion of an out-sider is worth, I do think the burqa is oppressive. It seems designed to restrict movement, leaving women clumsy, helpless, dependent and anonymous. The vast majority of Muslim women do not wear com-

plete covering because the Koran only mandates modesty, not sartorial imprisonment.

But at issue in Europe is not social disapproval; it is criminalization. In matters of religious liberty, there are no easy or rigid rules. Govern-ments apply a balancing test. A tra-dition that burns widows or physi-cally mutilates young girls would justify the Napier approach. Some rights are so fundamental that they must be defended in every case. But if a democratic majority can impose its will on a religious minority for any reason, then religious freedom has no meaning. The state must have strong, public justifi cations to compel conformity, especially on an issue such as the clothes that citi-zens wear.

In France — where only a few thou-sand women out of 5 million Muslims wear the burqa — a ban is merely a symbolic expression of disdain for an unpopular minority. It would achieve little but resentment.

InstructiveToday’s lesson: How to avoid Greek tragedyIn Greece, which has touched

off a fi scal wildfi re that threatens to burn across Europe and could scorch the United States, female pastry chefs and hairdressers can retire with government pen-sions at age 50 because their jobs are considered “arduous and unhealthy.”

Males in those professions must wait until the decrepit age of 55 to knock off work for good.

When their government, strug-gling to reduce debt, recently proposed changing the pension system, including pushing back the average retirement age from 61 to 63, thousands of Greeks took to the streets in protest.

Although elements of the Grecian storyline may appear absurd, Americans can’t afford smugness toward their Euro-pean neighbors. Greek’s debt crisis today may be this nation’s tomorrow.

Much of Europe has always con-

sidered that Americans work too hard or too much. The issue is not how much leisure time is enough, but who pays for it. From Aesop’s day, the idle have required support from the pro-ductive. An imbalance is a crisis waiting to happen.

Already, the U.S. national debt stands at nearly $13 trillion, which amounts to almost $118,000 per taxpayer. And it’s expected to climb by more than $1 trillion this year. And next year. And the year after that.

The U.S. government’s accumu-lation of debt is clearly unsus-tainable over the long term. But, much like Greece’s government in previous years, U.S. lead-ers continue to add entitlement programs and pour money into projects as if the federal defi -cit and the national debt were of no concern. Although congres-sional leaders and the president talk about confronting the defi -

cit, they’ve done nothing except expand entitlements.

In recent days U.S. stock mar-kets have been rocked by sharp sell-offs as fears spread that Europe’s problems could slow or even reverse America’s economic recovery. As a result, the debt of one relatively small nation in Europe led to the loss of large amounts of money from Ameri-cans’ retirement funds and other investment accounts. Imagine the turmoil that would ensue if this nation, because of unsustainable debt, even approaches the danger zone that Greece now occupies.

It’s easy on this side of the Atlantic to wonder why anyone ever thought that a national economy could sustain a system in which pastry chefs can retire at age 50. But future generations of Americans may well wonder the same about those responsible for the stewardship of this nation today.

Ex-Yazoo teacher arrestedfor exploitation, voyeurism

YAZOO CITY (AP) — Former Manchester Academy teacher Richard Darden is in the Yazoo County Jail charged with three counts of voyeur-ism and three counts of child exploitation.

Yazoo County Sheriff Thomas Vaughn said that Darden was arrested Thursday.

Darden resigned May 7 from the private school where he

had been employed for more than 25 years.

Vaughn has said the charges against Darden stem from him secretly watching male stu-dents dress and undress in the bathroom at his home.

If convicted, Darden faces a maximum 40 years on each of the child exploitation counts and fi ve years each on the vo-yeurism counts.

3 million feet of boom in Gulf, but does it help?GRAND ISLE, La. (AP) —

Globs of sticky brownish ooze soil miles of sensitive shore-line and marsh from Alabama to Louisiana. Pelican rooker-ies are awash in oil. Oyster beds and shrimp nurseries face certain death. All the while, long, slender barriers intended to protect the shore-line fl oat twisted, tangled or sometimes just broken apart, unable to stop the creeping crude.

Since last month’s rig explo-sion and spill of millions of gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico — now the largest spill in U.S. history, surpassing the Exxon Valdez — more than 3 million feet of so-called boom has been deployed along the coast. But it’s not a fail-safe method of keeping the oil from washing ashore. It’s not always sturdy enough and high winds and waves can send the slime cascading over the barriers.

The key line of defense is sometimes defenseless itself against the elements.

“Even if it’s working prop-erly, the best it will do is move the problem somewhere else,” said Doug Helton, inci-dent operations coordinator for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administra-tion’s Emergency Response Division.

“It might be moving it some-where that’s not boomed or it might be moving it 100 yards away where there’s a failure in the boom,” Helton said. “The use of booms is just one tool but all the boom does is defl ect oil, and that’s if it functions properly.”

President Barack Obama was heading to coastal Loui-siana today for an update on efforts to stop the fl ow.

While BP couldn’t immedi-ately provide a fi gure for how much money has been spent

purchasing and deploying the booms, industry estimates put costs around $20 a foot for the basic product — totaling at least $60 million just to buy it, not to mention the cost to hire people to deploy it.

Experts say while the boom isn’t perfect, it provides one necessary line of defense. It also offers a psycholog-ical boost to those who feel helpless.

Because the oil spill is

so widespread, manpower needed to maintain the boom and regularly collect oil from its constraints is stretched thin, Helton said. And as the barriers break apart, he said, response time to repair them must be quick because once the oil seeps past, it’s a losing battle.

The spill’s impact on shore-lines now stretches across 150 miles, from Dauphin Island, Ala., to Grand Isle, La., and

has begun to creep inland into sensitive marshland.

“Normally, a spill would affect a smaller geographic area so you’d have more people per linear mile of boom to maintain it, but here the pressure was on to get the boom deployed,” Helton said. “It’s a diffi cult situation and people have very high expectations.

“There’s no silver bullet,” he added.

‘Obama’s war’

U.S. military death countreaches 1,000 in Afghanistan

KabUL, afghanistan (aP) — The American mili-tary death toll in Afghanistan reached 1,000 at a time when President Barack Obama’s strategy to turn back the Tali-ban is facing its greatest test — an ambitious campaign to win over a disgruntled popula-tion in the insurgents’ south-ern heartland.

More casualties are expected when the campaign kicks into high gear this summer. The results may determine the outcome of a nearly nine-year conflict that became “Obama’s war” after he decided to shift the fight against Islamist mili-tancy from Iraq to Afghanistan and Pakistan, where Afghan insurgents find sanctuary.

The grim milestone was reached when NATO reported that a service member was killed today in a roadside bombing in southern Afghan-istan. The statement did not identify the victim or give the nationality. U.S. spokesman Col. Wayne Shanks said the service member was Ameri-can — the 32nd U.S. war death this month by an Associated Press count.

Already the new focus on the once-forgotten Afghan war has come at a heavy price. More than 430 of the U.S. dead were killed after Obama took office in January 2009.

The list of American service members killed in combat in Afghanistan begins with Sgt. 1st Class Nathan Ross Chap-man of San Antonio, Texas, a 31-year-old career Special forces soldier ambushed on Jan. 4, 2002, after attending a meeting with Afghan lead-ers in Khost province. He left a wife and two children. The base where a suicide bomber killed seven CIA employ-ees last December bears his name.

For many of the more than 94,000 U.S. service members in Afghanistan, the 1,000-mark passed without fanfare.

Capt. Nick Ziemba of Wil-braham, Massachusetts, serv-ing with the 1st Battalion, 17th Infantry Regiment in south-ern Afghanistan, said 1,000 was an arbitrary number and would have no impact on troop morale or operations.

“We’re going to continue to work,” he said.

The AP bases its tally on Defense Department reports of deaths suffered as a direct result of the Afghan conflict, including personnel assigned to units in Afghanistan, Pak-istan or Uzbekistan. Other news organizations count deaths suffered by service members assigned elsewhere

as part of Operation Endur-ing Freedom, which includes operations in the Philippines, the Horn of Africa and at the U.S. detention facility at Guan-tanamo Bay, Cuba.

The grim milestone comes midway between the presi-dent’s decision last Decem-ber to send 30,000 more U.S. troops to Afghanistan and a gut check on the war’s prog-ress that he has promised by the end of the year.

After a long and wrenching conflict in Iraq — which has claimed nearly 4,400 Ameri-can military lives — Obama has promised not to be backed into an open-ended war in Afghanistan. He has insisted that some U.S. troops will come home beginning in July 2011.

Q: My daughter purchased a home with her husband in February 2001. A year later, he

left her after 15 years of mar-riage. Months later, she got an uncon-tested divorce and the

house became hers in the settlement. She has no idea where he is or has been. She

just received an escrow check for $1,200 made out to her former husband and herself. In 2004, the court transferred the house to her name only. The mortgage company states they cannot make out the check to just her. She lives in the home and pays the mort-gage and taxes. — John, via e-mail

A: I apologize. I do not know of a legal course of action for her to take.

WASHINGTON — Tur-moil in the stock market and the European debt crisis are making life easier for Ameri-can homebuyers and families looking to refi nance: Mort-gage rates are inching closer to a record low.

The window of opportunity may close soon. Home loan rates will rise if investors grow more confi dent and shift money out of the safety of government bonds, which infl uence mortgage rates.

For now, though, rates are tantalizingly low. The aver-age 30-year fi xed-rate loan sank to 4.78 percent this week, the lowest this year and barely above the record of 4.71 percent set in Decem-ber. And 15-year loans are at their lowest rates in two decades.

“Strike now,” suggested Greg McBride, senior fi nan-cial analyst at Bankrate.com.

Some homeowners are doing just that. Applica-tions to refi nance surged this week to the highest level in seven months, the Mortgage Bankers Association said.

DETROIT — Mer-cury could soon be the latest Detroit car brand to disappear.

Ford Motor Co. is assess-ing the future of Mercury, although a fi nal decision on whether to kill the brand hasn’t yet been made, a person familiar with the company’s deliberations said Thursday. The person asked not to be named because the process is ongoing.

During a trip to Washing-ton to meet with lawmak-ers, Ford CEO Alan Mulally declined to discuss Mercury, saying the company has nothing new to announce. He added that Ford is continu-

ally reviewing all its brands.Several Lincoln-Mercury

dealers contacted Thurs-day evening said they hadn’t heard that Mercury could be discontinued. The news was fi rst reported by Bloomberg News, citing unnamed sources.

The fate of the 72-year-old Mercury brand has long been in question. The brand, conceived as a mid-range brand between the no-frills Ford brand and the luxury Lincoln brand, saw its peak sales in 1978 at more than 580,000 vehicles but has been in decline ever since. Ford sold 92,000 Mercurys last year.

Toys ‘R’ Us to go publicthrough $800M IPO

NEW YORK — Toys “R” Us Inc. said today that it plans to go public again by raising as much as $800 million in an initial public offering.

The retailer of toys, games and other products for infants and children said in a fi ling with the Securities and Exchange Commission that it will use the proceeds from the offering to pay off some of its debt and for general corporate purposes.

It did not say how many shares it will sell. It said its stock would trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “TOYS.”

Toys “R” Us, founded by Charles Lazarus, traces its roots back to 1948 to the opening of Children’s Bar-gain Town, a children’s fur-niture store in Washington, D.C. The company took the name Toys “R” Us in 1957. Lazarus retired as CEO in 1994.

Della was born Aug. 18, 1918, in Brazil, Tallahatchie County, Miss., to Abraham Lincoln Howard and Della Frances (Stewart) Howard and lived her early life in the Mississippi Delta. After marriage to her husband, George, who was in the U.S. Army at that time, and trans-ferring with him around the country from coast to coast, they settled in his home-town of Vicksburg where she continued to reside until after his death. In her later years, she came to live with her eldest son, Ira, in McComb and later moved to Aston Court Retirement Home where she resided until her death. The family wishes to express their

heartfelt thanks to Aston Court owners Stacey and Jonah Locke, Kelly, Jenny, Freddie, Linda and all other Aston Court employees for their dedication, kind-ness and warm special care afforded Della over the lengthy time she was their resident. During her years in McComb, she also had a spe-cial friend in Margaret Dunn.

Della McMillin was a caring, kind and special person who loved her God to whom she dedicated her life. In early life she was a member of the Baptist faith and later in life converted to the Church of God of Proph-ecy. She served her husband, George, as bookkeeper in their business, Vicksburg Motor Exchange, until after his retirement. Then, after his death in 1971, she gradu-ated nursing school and became certifi ed as LPN on Jan. 7, 1974, by Mississippi Board of Nursing. She then used her gifts to the fullest in service to others throughout the remainder of her active life. In doing so, she provided special care for the William Moore family members of Cary, who have since remem-bered her with caring cards of special thanks they have sent throughout her waning years of life. For her children, grandchildren, many other descendants and all who knew her, she was a model of strength, courage and com-passion. A beautiful person, inside and out, she will always be remembered and sorely missed by those who loved her so dearly.

Francis Dianne Stephens

PORT GIBSON — Fran-cis Dianne Stephens died Wednesday, May 26, 2010, at her home in Port Gibson. She was 66.

Mrs. Stephens was born in Memphis on Dec. 6, 1943. She attended White Station High School, graduating in 1961. She received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Belhaven College in 1965. She was a member of Port Gibson Bap-tist Church.

Over the years she taught school at Watkins Elemen-tary in Jackson, St. Clair County School in St. Clair, Mich., and CEF in Port Gibson.

She was preceded in death by her father, Louis Aeschli-man; and a daughter, Belinda Leigh Stephens.

Survivors include her devoted husband of 45 years whom she married June 3, 1965, John Howard Stephens; one son, John Howard Ste-phens II of Warsaw, Mo.; two daughters, Frances Dolmage of Morris, Ill., and Lynn Him-melsbaugh of Bellvue, Mich.; her mother, Evelyn Aeschli-man of Memphis; a brother, Richard Aeschliman of Stone Mountain, Ga.; and seven grandchildren, Brian, Ashley and Jacob Himmelsbaugh and Josh, Paige, Regan and Nathan Stephens.

DEATHS

He hopes to return to the campus as a program asso-ciate for the upcoming term and possibly “apply for a unit leader position as campus plans to increase enrollment in January.”

Having passed his Praxis exams, Hill hopes to earn a Master of Arts in teaching at Jackson State University or Delta State University “with the intention of teaching in the Delta.”

Hill said the two years he has spent in the South — divided between Vicksburg and New Orleans — fueled an appreciation for the area.

Although he spent most of this year on campus assist-ing with public relations, for one round, he led a team of 11 members in a tutor-ing project in two elemen-tary schools in St. Tammany Parish, just north of New Orleans.

Jenny Martin, 19, of Pitts-burg, Kan., said her team, River 1, built chimney swift towers in Vicksburg with the Audubon Society and helped build nine houses in Bay St. Louis with Habitat for Humanity.

“We were in Yazoo County and Holmes County doing client case work” before returning for the graduation, said Martin.

Each team displayed its year of work with pictures on

boards that lined the walls of the auditorium.

NCCC Region Director Gary Turner commended the group on their work together, in the community and on their projects.

“When the last chapter is written and the book is closed, the best we can do is smile, and the best we can offer is ‘thank-you,’” Turner told them.

Tina Hayward, executive director of the Women’s Res-toration Shelter, said the corps provided support at the shelter by painting interior and exterior walls.

“Just last week, they trimmed branches and hedges, took care of our lawn and cut the grass,” said Hayward.

She said she hopes to tap AmeriCorps as a resource again next year.

For all their work and dedi-cation to service, many corps members were awarded the Congressional Award and

the President’s Volunteer Service Award.

The excellence award was shared between Zach Pekor and Michele Pyne. Daniel Bingham-Pank-ratz won the Team Leader of the Year Award. Proj-ect sponsor awards went to two who were new to the corps this year, Wolf River Conservancy in Memphis and Southern Foundation for Homeless Children in Sturgis.

During a banquet on campus for members along with their families and friends Wednesday eve-ning, team leaders presented members with awards including leadership, unsung hero, humanitarian, personal growth, work ethic, motiva-tion and going the extra mile throughout the term.

Others received awards for their creative arts.

Bobby McFadden was the winner in the Artsy category with “Deep Creek,” a photo of a fl ower in still water; Vadim Zhernokleynev won the Crazy Cool division with “Jacob”; and “Scraping Wall-paper” taken by Seth Reis-ner, won the Hardcore Ame-riCorps Award.

Vicksburg artist H.C. Porter, a judge for the art-work, said McFadden’s entry was her favorite because “it looked like somebody could

create a whole body of work around that piece based on the emotion and the ability” shown.

She presented three of her photos titled “Quiet Determi-nation,” “The Bradley” and “The Protector” as prizes for fi rst place winners.

NCCC members completed 244,316 hours of service for about 6,464,601 recipients. They assisted nearly 96,000 people in disaster areas and 5,668 more in mass care facil-ities as well as refurbished 358 homes for disaster vic-tims and completed 3,743 damage assessments, Ame-riCorps Public Relations spe-cialist Erika Roberts said.

The group built more than 20 wheelchair ramps for people with disabilities and spent more than 320 hours tutoring, Roberts said.

Members participated on 80 service projects in about 30 cities throughout the South-ern Region, which includes Louisiana, Alabama, Geor-gia, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee and Mississippi.

The Vicksburg campus is one of fi ve nationwide. Others are in Sacramento, Calif.; Denver; Vinto, Iowa; and Perry Point, Md.

Throughout the year, mem-bers were given stipends of $100 each week for inci-dentals, and each team was given a food allowance aver-aging about $4.50 per person per day.

Upon graduation, each member was to receive the Segal Education Award of $5,350 for college tuition or student loans.

The purchase of Rain-bow will mark Isle of Capri’s return to the Vicksburg market. The St. Louis-based company opened Vicks-burg’s fi rst casino in 1993 at 3990 Washington St. In 2006, it sold the casino to Legends Gaming, which re-branded it DiamondJacks Casino.

No operational changes have been made since the sale was announced, and Fedell said Rainbow custom-ers enrolled in the casino’s rewards program don’t have to worry about losing any

benefi ts.The sale has already been

approved by both Bally and Isle of Capri.

Thursday’s action by the gaming commission at its monthly meeting amounted to a fi nal formality in the casino sale, said Mississippi Gaming Commission Deputy Director Allen Godfrey.

“The items on the agenda today were statutory require-ments, but in the big pic-ture, what happened was Isle of Capri bought (Rainbow Casino),” he said.

71 dead after suspected sabotage derails train in IndiaSARDIHA, India (AP) — Sus-

pected Maoist rebels derailed an overnight passenger train today in eastern India, trigger-ing a crash with an oncoming cargo train that killed at least 71 people and injured about 200 more, offi cials said.

Survivors described a night of screaming and chaos after the derailment and said it took res-cuers more than three hours to reach the scene. The blue pas-senger train and the red cargo train were knotted together in mangled metal along a rural stretch of track near the small town of Sardiha, about 90 miles west of Calcutta in West Bengal state.

Officials disagreed on the

cause of the derailment, with some saying it was caused by an explosion but others blam-ing sabotaged rail lines. Home Minister Palaniappan Chidam-baram said in a statement that a section of the railway tracks had been cut, but “whether explosives were used is not yet clear.”

Bhupinder Singh, the top police offi cial in West Bengal, said posters from the People’s Committee Against Police Atrocities, a group local offi -cials believe is closely tied to the Maoists, had been found at the scene taking responsibility for the attack.

However, a spokesman for the group, Asit Mahato, denied any

role, the Press Trust of India news agency reported.

“We were in no way involved. This is not our act,” PTI quoted him as saying by phone.

“What can we do if some-body claims responsibility on our behalf?” he told PTI when asked about the posters found near the scene.

The area is an isolated, rural stronghold of India’s Maoist rebels, known as Naxalites, who have stepped up attacks in recent months and had called for a four-day general strike starting today. Earlier this month, the rebels ambushed a bus in central India, killing 31 police offi cers and civilians.

Nearly 10 hours after the

blast, railway police and para-military soldiers were using blowtorches and cables to try to reach at least a dozen passen-gers still trapped in the wreck-age, said A.P. Mishra, general manager of the railway system in that area.

Sher Ali, a 25-year-old Mumbai factory worker, was traveling with his wife, two chil-dren and his brother’s family when they were jerked awake by a loud thud. A moment later, their car was tossed from the track, he said.

“My sister-in-law was crushed when the coach overturned. We saw her dying, but we couldn’t do anything to help her,” said Ali.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESSRescue workers search for the victims at the site of a train crash about 90 miles west of Calcutta, India, early today.

RFK Jr.’s wife says not guilty to DWIBEDFORD HILLS, N.Y. —

The wife of Robert F. Ken-nedy Jr. pleaded not guilty Thursday to a drunken-driv-ing charge and will be evaluated to see if she needs treat-ment for alco-hol abuse.

Mary Rich-ardson Ken-nedy, 50, was arraigned in Bedford Town Court, near her home 45 miles north of New York City. Her husband, son of Sen. Robert F. Ken-nedy and nephew of Presi-dent John F. Kennedy, was not in court.

Mary Kennedy was arrested May 15 after a police offi cer reported seeing her drive her car over a curb out-side a Bedford school. Police said she had a blood-alcohol level of 0.11 percent; the legal limit is 0.08 percent.

Kennedy had a dog in the car but no passengers. She was charged with driving while intoxicated.

Town Justice Kevin Quar-

anta suspended Kennedy’s license, released her without bail and ordered an assess-ment by a private agency.

Kennedy’s lawyer, Kerry Lawrence, said outside court that the assessment is “to determine if treatment is needed.”

70 killed in attackson Pakistan mosques

LAHORE, Pakistan — Sui-cide bombers and gunmen have killed more than 70 people at two mosques of a minority sect in eastern Paki-stan, an offi cial said.

Lahore deputy commis-sioner Sajjad Bhutta also said more than 80 people were wounded in today’s attacks.

The assaults in Lahore targeted the Ahmadi com-munity. They are reviled as heretics by mainstream Mus-lims for their belief that their sect’s founder was a savior foretold by the Quran.

Palin makes goodon fence threat

WASILLA, Alaska — Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is making good on a threat to build a fence around her Wasilla home to keep her new neighbor — an author who is writing a book about her — from peering in.

Palin, wearing running shorts, a T-shirt and visor, joked with a reporter out-side her lakeside home Thursday about having to build a fence to protect her family’s privacy. But she declined further comment, saying she was busy baby-sitting her nephews.

Palin, the 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee, took to Facebook on Monday to “wel-come” author Joe McGinn-iss, who’d previously written a critical magazine article on Palin. She said he was rent-ing a house next door “for the next fi ve months or so” and wondered what he’d gather “while overlooking Piper’s bedroom, my little garden, and the family’s swimming hole?”

Vikings, Saints already talking

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Opening night can’t get here fast enough for the New Orleans Saints and Minnesota Vikings.

Saints safety Darren Sharper is engaging in some serious trash talk on Twitter with former team-mates Bryant McKinnie and Visanthe Shiancoe of the Vikings, with Brett Favre right in the middle of it.

Sharper touched things o� after Favre announced he was having ankle sur-gery last week. The talk-ative safety tweeted “X marks the spot” in refer-ence to the quarterback’s ankle. The comment touched a nerve with the Vikings, who believe the Saints took several late hits on their 40-year-old quar-terback in New Orleans’ overtime victory over Min-nesota in the NFC title game in January.

The Vikings responded in kind on Thursday, � rst af-ter practice and then in cy-berspace, more than three months before the teams kick o� the NFL season in New Orleans on Sept. 9.

“Sharper had surgery, too. And it was the knee,” Shiancoe told members of the media on Thursday morning. “So if ’X’ marks the spot on Brett, I wonder what would mark the spot on Sharper? I know which one it is. I know exactly which one it is.”

PCA sends two to all-star gameBy Ernest [email protected]

Colby Rushing watched

as the fl y ball sailed high toward the center fi eld wall. As soon as he realized the center fi elder had lost it against the darkening sky, he scooted around the bases to score a key run in a close game.

In the bottom of the inning Rushing jogged out to the same spot. He called over his two Porters Chapel outfi eld mates, eighth-grader Jonah Masterson and freshman Richie Bufkin, and explained how their opponent had mis-played the ball. It was a quick but invaluable lesson, and one Rushing felt obliged to

teach.As a young

player, he had had simi-lar moments when upper-classmen passed some-thing along. Now, as a senior whose high school career was draw-ing to a close, it was his turn.

“He gets us in position. I’m new in the outfi eld and he coaches me. When that guy lost that fl y ball, he got a ball and started throwing with us and telling us what he does so it didn’t happen to us,” Masterson said. “He told

me how to hold my glove out in front. I guess he taught Richie the same stuff. I look up to him.”

Rushing’s teaching days are over, but he’ll have one last chance to shine on the diamond Saturday. Rush-ing will join teammate John Michael Harris in the Missis-sippi Association of Indepen-dent Schools Class A all-star game at 11 a.m. at Smith-Wills Stadium in Jackson. Tallulah Academy’s Wade Walker, Briarfi eld’s Jacob Hopkins and Tensas Acade-my’s Jon-Truman James and Austin Emfi nger will also play in the game.

Harris hit .444 this season

Rebels fall to Crimson TideFrom staff reports

HOOVER, Ala. — Matt Smith went 3-for-4 with two runs scored and Miles Ham-blin hit his second home run in as many days, but it wasn’t enough on Thursday as No. 21 Ole Miss fell to Ala-bama 6-3 in the second round of the SEC Tournament.

Ole Miss (37-21) will now face Auburn in an elimina-tion game at 3 p.m. today at Regions Park.

Senior Aaron Barrett (7-4) suffered the loss for the Rebels. He allowed four runs on nine hits with four walks and fi ve strikeouts in six innings of work.

Alabama’s Nathan Kil-crease (6-2) picked up the win. He held the Rebels to three runs on nine hits with three strikeouts. Jake Smith picked up his fourth save of the season as he moved from his position at third to the mound with one out and two men on in the ninth inning.

“You have to give credit to Alabama, they played better than we did today,” said Ole Miss coach Mike Bianco. “(Nathan) Kilcrease was very tough. Aaron Bar-rett competed hard and gave us chances. When you aren’t swinging well and aren’t scoring runs, all the defensive plays are magni-fi ed and we didn’t give our-selves enough opportunities offensively until later in the game.”

Alabama (36-21) struck fi rst, scoring in the fi fth inning when Taylor Dugas scored from second on a single to left fi eld from Josh Rutledge. The two-out hit

came following a steal of second by the Alabama player after he drew a walk in the previous at-bat. With run, the Crimson Tide took a 1-0 lead on the Rebels.

The Crimson Tide extended the lead in the sixth inning when Jon Kelton tripled to the wall in right center to score David Kindred from fi rst. Kindred reached on a base hit back to the mound that was fi elded and dropped by the pitcher, allowing Kindred to reach base safely. A throwing error on a bunt back to the mound allowed Andrew Miller to reach base and put men at the corners with one outs.

Another bunt drove in the

runner from third and put men and fi rst and second with one out as Alabama took a 3-0 lead on the Rebels.

Ole Miss turned to reliever Rory McKean in the sev-enth inning after a lead-off single to center fi eld from Ross Wilson. McKean then hit Clay Jones with a pitch to put two men on with no outs and bring Kindred to the plate. Kindred then laid down a sacrifi ce bunt to advance both runners, put-ting two men in scoring posi-tion for Jake Smith. Smith then fl ew out to center to

drive in Wilson and give Ala-bama a 4-0 lead.

The Rebels responded in the bottom of the seventh when Matt Smith scored on

One day after dropping a lopsided decision to the regu-lar-season league champions, sixth-seeded East Carolina bounced back in a big way to defeat No. 2 seed Southern Miss 8-1 in the Conference USA Tournament Thursday afternoon at the University of Houston’s Cougar Field.

The Pirates got the job done both at the plate and on the mound as left fi elder Devin Harris went 2-for-3 with a pair of home runs and a career-high fi ve RBIs while Seth Maness fanned eight in a solid 7 2⁄3 innings of work. Harris was one of four East Carolina players to post multiple-hit performances as shortstop John Wooten went 3-for-5 while third baseman Corey Thompson and desig-nated hitter Austin Homan tallied two hits apiece.

East Carolina improves to 32-26 on the year and can clinch a spot in Saturday’s league championship game with a win today against Memphis. Southern Miss dropped to 33-22, but can still earn a berth in the C-USA Championship game with a win tonight vs. host Houston plus a Memphis win over the

Artest’s clutch shot sets SunsBy The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — The Lakers’ voluminous play-off lore is almost overstuffed with last-minute heroics. In the past decade alone, Robert Horry, Derek Fisher and — of course — Kobe Bryant have all hit dramatic, game-winning shots that will be remembered in Los Angeles for ages.

Ron Artest realizes he was an awfully unlikely candidate to join that list Thursday night in the fi nal second of Game 5 of the Western Con-ference fi nals. That’s when the Lakers’ only newcomer made everybody at Staples Center forget about his ter-rible game with an offen-sive rebound and a layup to beat the buzzer and the Phoenix Suns. Artest banked home the winning shot after rebounding Bryant’s missed 3-pointer, and the Lakers held off the Suns 103-101 to take a 3-2 series lead in the

Western Conference fi nals.Artest’s basket completed

a 2-for-9 shooting night redeemed by one supremely heady offensive rebound that pushed the Lakers to the brink of their third straight NBA fi nals.

“I wasn’t playing my game from the beginning,” Artest said. “In the second half, I was fi nding my way a little bit, made some good passes and good steals and got some rebounds. So I guess that aggressive play can carry over into that last possession.”

Game 6 is Saturday night in Phoenix, where the Lakers can clinch the chance to play for their 16th championship — or the Suns can hold serve in a series featuring fi ve wins for the home team.

Bryant had 30 points, 11 rebounds and nine assists for the Lakers. He also wrapped Artest, who scored just four

points, in a jubilant bear hug after Artest homed in on Bry-ant’s miss and threw up an unattractive shot.

It looked beautiful going through the net.

“It means a lot for him,” Bryant said. “I think for him emotionally, it’s a big boost. ... Once I released the ball, I saw Ron sneaking in. I was just hoping that he got it off in time.”

Lakers coach Phil Jack-son said he wasn’t even sure why he had Artest in the game after the veteran for-ward missed consecutive open shots earlier in the fi nal minute, drawing the ire of the home crowd with each brick.

Jason Richardson banked in a straightaway 3-pointer with 3.5 seconds left to tie it for the Suns, who clawed back from an 18-point defi cit in the second half. Phoenix got a superb game by Steve Nash, who had 29 points and 11 assists.

fooTBALLSaints’ Jeremy Shockey hospitalized after seizure

METAIRIE, La. — New Orleans Saints tight end Jeremy Shockey was taken by ambulance to a hos-pital Thursday afternoon after suf-fering what was later diagnosed as a seizure.

“I am OK. Thanks to everyone who has shown their concern,” Shockey said in a message posted on his Twitter account. “Don’t worry about me. I will be fine.”

Saints safety Darren Sharper, who was seen at the hospital where Shockey was being treated, also was with Shockey in the Saints’ weight room when the seizure took place.

“It was scary,” Sharper said. “We didn’t know what was going on.”

Sharper said trainers quickly attended to the star tight end, who seemed lucid again after about a minute and was able to walk on his own to an ambulance.

“He said he just felt lightheaded,” Sharper recalled.

It was not immediately clear how long Shockey would be hospitalized.

Pirates.Maness had a no-hitter

going through five innings before giving up a leadoff double to Southern Miss right fielder Tyler Koelling to open the sixth. The reign-ing C-USA Pitcher of the Year shook off the bump in the road to remain effective throughout his time toeing the rubber, giving up just one unearned run on five hits and a walk to improve to 10-3. Maness is now 18-3 against C-USA teams during his time with the Pirates and picked up his 28th career win, which ranks fourth all-time

in C-USA history and tied for fourth in the ECU career record book.

Harris, meanwhile, went yard in each of his first two at-bats — belting a solo home run in the second to open the scoring and crushing a grand slam in the third to put the Pirates on top, 5-0. Follow-ing a scoreless fourth, East Carolina stretched the lead to 8-0 in the fifth courtesy of an RBI-single by Homan, a run-scoring fielder’s-choice groundout off the bat of second baseman Cameron Freeman and a throwing error by Southern Miss.

a single through the right side from David Phillips. Smith doubled in the previ-ous at bat to get on base for the Phillips hit.

The Crimson Tide pushed the lead back out to four runs in the eighth when Rut-ledge came up with a two-out single to left that scored Brock Bennett from third. Bennett singled to reach base and then took second on a balk and third on a groundout to first. Follow-ing a hit batter that put two men on, the Rebels turned to the bullpen again for Eric Callender. A single up the middle to the next batter drove in another run and gave Alabama a 6-1 lead on the Rebels. Miles Hamblin opened the eighth with a solo shot for the Rebels, cutting the lead to 6-2.

LSU 7, Vanderbilt 5Leon Landry went 3-for-4

and was one of six LSU play-ers to drive in a run as the Tigers beat Vanderbilt.

After giving up three runs in the second inning, LSU starter Austin Ross did not allow a hit over the next six innings. Ross (5-4) struck out seven, walked two and allowed four hits before being relieved in the ninth.

The Tigers (38-20) scored three runs in the first off Vanderbilt starter Taylor Hill (5-5).

LSU took the lead for good in the third on a solo home run from Micah Gibbs.

Vanderbilt (41-16) scored two runs in the ninth, but LSU reliever Matty Ott struck out Mike Yastrzemski with a runner on to end the game.

Vanderbilt plays Flor-ida today in an elimination game, while LSU has a bye.

after transferring from Warren Central, helping PCA reach the Class A semifinals for a second straight season. He led the Eagles in home runs, RBIs, doubles and triples.

Rushing spent three sea-sons as PCA’s starting center fielder. He had more than 100 hits in his high school career and capped it off with a strong senior season in which he hit .451, scored 43 runs and stole a team-high 17 bases.

Rushing’s most valuable contributions, though, may have been of the intangible variety. As the longest-ten-ured PCA starter, he was a link to the past. He not only was the leadoff hitter for PCA’s 2009 Class A champi-onship team, he was around long enough to play a lim-

ited role for the 2006 and 2007 teams, considered the best in school history.

“I soaked up everything. I warmed up Michael Busby one time and he threw a 90 mph fastball that about broke my thumb. I learned how to play center field from Spencer Pell,” Rushing said, adding with a laugh, “I am the old man. Nineteen years old. I am a grandpa. I defi-nitely feel like the old vet-eran. I knew how it was back then, winning back then and winning like we do now.”

Beyond telling old war stories, PCA coach Jerry Bourne said Rushing showed his leadership in other ways this season. As the Eagles’ leadoff man, Rushing often set the table well for the big guns behind him, includ-ing Harris. With three home

runs and eight doubles this season, Rushing also showed he could deliver a big hit himself when needed.

“He could very easily step in and be an RBI man. He has selflessly put himself in the leadoff man role. That’s been huge for us,” Bourne said.

Rushing didn’t get to cel-ebrate a second state cham-pionship this season. River-field eliminated PCA in three games in the semifinals. But having a long career, win-ning one ring and coming agonizingly close to a second was more than he could have ever imagined, he said.

“It’s been a dream. It’s been magical, really. All I could hope for,” Rushing said. “To be in the playoffs all four years has been great. A lot of people never get in once.”

Braves take another from MarlinsMIAMI (AP) — This time,

the Atlanta Braves got a little help from Mother Nature in getting to the Florida Marlins bullpen.

They took advantage.Martin Prado had three hits

and drove in two runs, leading the Atlanta Braves to an 8-3 win over the Florida Marlins on Thursday night.

Chipper Jones and Yunel Escobar each reached base four times and drove in a run in a game delayed by rain 1 hour, 17 minutes. The Braves led 3-2 when the tarp came out after the fourth inning, then scored five runs when Ricky Nolasco didn’t return to the mound after the rain stopped.

“That’s the stuff you have to deal with here,” Marlins man-ager Fredi Gonzalez said. “We both lost our starters and had to go the bullpen. You try to push it because nobody wants to lose their starters, but you can’t control Mother Nature, not yet anyway.”

The Braves have won seven of nine.

Peter Moylan (2-0) pitched an inning in relief of Tim Hudson, who allowed two runs and five hits in four innings.

Hudson tried to return after the delay.

“I knew it was a long shot,” Hudson said. “I went out there and started getting loose again and Bobby (Cox) came out and said, ‘What are you doing?’

I said, ‘I’m getting ready to pitch.’ He said, ‘The heck you are.’ But it was best.”

The Marlins lost for the fifth time in seven games when they failed to take advantage of the Braves’ season high-tying four errors.

Atlanta Braves second baseman Martin Prado breaks his bat as he hits an RBI-single to score Yunel Escobar Thursday.

Woman hides faults by showing off wealthDear Abby: I work with a

woman who constantly tells me how much she has — a condo in Florida, a time-share in the Virgin Islands, her portfolio, the expensive ring her husband bought her and what she spends on wed-ding/holiday gifts. She even told me about how much she used to make at her previ-ous job.

As a struggling single parent, I fi nd it insensitive. How do I deal with this? Is it about my own inadequacies? She is otherwise a seemingly nice lady. My boyfriend says I need to just “get over it.” What do you think? — “Penny Less” in Pennsylvania

Dear “Penny Less”: This woman’s constant need to talk about how much she has is less about your “inade-quacies” than about her own. People who are happy, secure and socially sensitive don’t usually feel a compulsion to brag about what they have.

Once you understand that fact, you may feel less inad-equate around her. But if that isn’t the case, resolve to spend more of your time with people who talk about

ideas and things you have in common, and less with her.

Dear Abby: My mother was physically and verbally abu-sive to my sister and me when we were kids and teenagers.

Mom had a short fuse. She’d slap us if we acciden-tally dropped a piece of spa-ghetti or scuffed our shoes. If she thought we were talking back, she’d really lose it and things would get ugly.

My sister is a mother her-self now, and her kids are brats. I know it’s because she doesn’t want to be strict or abusive to them like our mother was to us.

I am engaged and think-ing about a family of my own someday. I don’t know how to discipline children or how to correct their bad behav-ior without becoming abu-sive. How can I treat my chil-dren with kindness, but still

have them behave well and be respectful? — Wants to End the Cycle

Dear Wants: Contrary to popular belief, not everyone is born with the instinctive abil-ity to be a good parent. Par-enting is a skill, and like most skills, effective parenting has to be learned. Because you come from a dysfunctional home, a way to ensure that you won’t repeat the pattern of abuse would be to enroll in parenting classes and learn about child development.

Contact your state depart-ment of education, local junior college or hospital and ask if these courses are offered or if they know where you can fi nd them.

Dear Abby: Last year, when I was a freshman in college, my boyfriend, “Charles,” acci-dentally broke my laptop by closing it on a little bouncy ball. I paid the $800 to have it repaired even though he was the one who broke it because I had the money and he had none. He said he’d pay me back, but it has been a year and I have yet to see any of that money.

As a German major, I am

required to study in Germany next year and I am strapped for cash. I have reminded Charles about my laptop and he says he’ll repay me, but I know he’s still in a bad place fi nancially.

Am I wrong to ask for the entire $800 or should I ask for half the amount? Or should I just forget it since it was an accident? I could use some good advice. — Fraught Fraulein

Dear Fraulein: You can ask for whatever amount you wish, but whether you’ll get a penny is up for grabs. It appears Charles is immature.

He should have repaid you even if it meant taking a part-time job. You’re a smart girl. Chalk this up to tuition in the school of experience, and rec-ognize that your boyfriend can’t be counted on — for anything.

DEAR ABBY

Chills during summer exasperate readerDear Dr. Gott: I have cold

chills all the time. Even in the summer, I wear long sleeves and pants while others are wearing shorts. It started about fi ve years ago, when my father was dying in the hospital. I thought I may have picked up a virus while visit-ing, but it hasn’t gone away. I don’t take any meds, don’t smoke, I am healthy, and my thyroid is OK. The doctors can’t explain it. My nose is red all the time, and people tease me and say I drink too much, but I don’t drink at all. I get goose bumps, and the hair stands up on my arms. I’m a 52-year-old female.

Is it possible to be having cold chills instead of hot fl ashes? I hope you can help me.

Dear Reader: You have certainly set up a confus-ing smoke screen for me. Tobacco use is known to affect circulation, but you don’t smoke. Alcohol can

adversely affect the system, but you don’t drink. Some medications cause chills, but you don’t take any. Your thy-roid is functioning normally, so that isn’t a contributing factor.

Menopause can cause hot flashes but can also, in a small percentage of women, cause chills. However, you were 47 when you visited the hospital.

That’s relatively early for menopause, which is common for women in their early 50s. This natural biological pro-cess occurs once a woman has been free of menstrual periods for one year. Perhaps you have perimenopause, a

transitional condition prior to menopause that can occur as early as the mid-30s or 40s and last up to eight years.

As with menopause, hor-monal changes occur and estrogen levels rise and fall. A common symptom, how-ever, is hot fl ashes, not chills. Your physician can order simple laboratory testing to determine whether you are in either stage of menopause.

Other possible causes are infections of any type, such as strep throat or dental issues, autoimmune disorders, leu-kemia and lymphoma. Along these lines, you might choose to speak with your physician regarding additional test-ing to rule out other possible causes. Once you cover all the bases, you can put your mind at ease on at least a few of the possibilities for your chills.

Dear Dr. Gott: I get severe leg cramps when I use Benadryl. Is it because

I get dry mouth from the medication?

Dear Reader: There are a number of different Benadryl products on the market, each containing different inactive ingredients. And, as I have reported on countless occa-sions, all medications can carry side effects. As you have discovered, a common one in many Benadryl prod-ucts is dry mouth. Further-more, diphenhydramine/ibu-profen can cause numbness of an arm or leg and unusual joint or muscle pain.

Consider a trial without this medication. If your symp-toms stop, you will have the answer.

If you feel you need an antihistamine, speak with your physician regarding a substitution.

TOMORROW’S HOROSCOPEBY BERNICE BEDE OSOL • NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSOCIATION

If tomorrow is your birth-day: If you expand and build upon solid foundations that you have already laid, the re-sults in the year ahead could be quite impressive and sig-ni� cant. At the very least you’re on the right track, so don’t give up hope of ad-vancement.Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Unless there is harmony of purpose, don’t look for col-lective endeavors to work out too well. All parties must be in total accord, down to the last detail, in order to produce something of value.Cancer (June 21-July 22) — With your head in the clouds and your mind unfocused on the tasks at hand, not much is likely to be accomplished. If you start anything, it had bet-ter be a job of minimal con-centration.Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Be careful you don’t involve your-self in anything you can ill af-ford. If things don’t turn out to be a colossal success, chances are you’ll feel it wasn’t worth the money you spent.Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — For the purpose of expedien-cy, you’ll forsake your com-mon sense and do something that goes against your better judgment. It won’t be some-thing for which you’ll easily forgive yourself.Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Be careful that you don’t get o� course and adopt greater faith in someone else’s judg-ment than you do your own common sense. You’ll quickly discover what bene� ts that

person may not bene� t you.Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Even if you think you’re not in much of a sociable mood, don’t turn down any invi-tations you get. As the day wears on, chances are you’ll be looking for something fun to do.Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — You know to trust your logic over your intuition, so that’s what you’ll do. Yet as it turns out to your regret, your hunches might be what pro-vide the critical insight your logic misses.Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Be careful not to push the panic button too quickly if you � nd yourself running into the sand. Given addition-al time, complications could have a way of working them-

selves out satisfactorily.Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — You need to be properly motivated before respond-ing to something, whether it is tangible or intangible. If that element is lacking, you won’t push yourself as hard as does the competition.Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — If you are too opinionated or too self-serving today, those who had intended to coop-erate with you might turn around and look the other way, just when you need as-sistance the most.

Aries (March 21-April 19) — Being better at making ex-cuses than you are at getting work done will give you an out to do something fun with your time today. Time wasted can never produce anything of value for you.Taurus (April 20-May 20) — If no one calls to entice you away from your projects and work, you may accomplish what is on your to-do list. But if the slightest reason to be nonproductive occurs, you’ll opt for that.

John Finn — A retired veteran — the � rst American to re-ceive the nation’s highest military award for defending sailors under a torrent of gun� re during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor — died Thursday. He was 100. Finn was the oldest of 97 Medal of Honor recipients from World War II still living. He died at a nursing home for veterans in Chula Vista, outside San Di-ego, according to a Navy statement. Despite head wounds and other injuries, Finn, the chief of ordnance for an air squadron, continuously � red a .50-caliber machine gun from an exposed position as bullets and bombs pounded the Naval Air Station at Kaneohe Bay in Oahu. He then supervised the rearming of re-turning American planes.

No charges for Simmons over attackProsecutors will not charge Kiss rocker Gene Simmons over

an attack on a couple at an upscale outdoor mall, while a new, separate civil lawsuit claims the musician sexually assaulted a makeup artist.

The district attorney’s o� ce stated in documents Wednes-day that there was not enough evidence the 60-year-old musician threatened Nathan Mar-lowe and his wife, Cynthia Manzo, at The Grove mall in Los Angeles last December.

Marlowe had said the musician choked the couple and took their video camera after they started � lming the star, while Simmons told po-lice that Marlowe shoved the camera in his face and that he feared for his family’s safety.Simmons’ attorney Barry Mallen called the de-

cision “completely expected.” The couple’s at-torney, Matthew Nezhad, said Thursday that they would pursue the matter with the district attorney’s o� ce.

“We don’t understand how there could not be a charge if he admitted to taking the camera,” he said.

Nezhad also said a civil lawsuit � led in December by Marlowe and Manzo against Simmons was still pending. The couple is seeking more than $25,000 in damages for claims of assault, battery and emotional distress, including damage to their sex life.

Singer Alicia Keys pregnant, to marryAlicia Keys is in a motherhood state of mind: She’s pregnant

ducer Swizz Beatz, who has written hits for Beyonce, Jay-Z and others. They’re engaged to be married at a private ceremony later this year.

Representatives for the couple con� rmed the news Thursday night.

Beatz has been married before and has two sons.

Gary Coleman in critical conditionFormer child television star Gary Coleman is in critical condi-

tion near his Utah home with what his family calls a “serious medical problem.”

Utah Valley Regional Medical Center spokes-man Janet Frank said Coleman, 42, was admit-ted to the Provo facility on Wednesday but she couldn’t release any other details.

Coleman lives in Santaquin, which is 55 miles south of Salt Lake City.

The actor is best-known for his stint on TV’s “Di� ’rent Strokes,” which aired from 1978 to 1986.

In February, Coleman su� ered a seizure on the set of “The In-sider.”

Nun foils wallet theft with reprimandA Pittsburgh thief turned out to be no match for a little nun

with a commanding voice.Sister Lynn Rettinger didn’t even have to break out a ruler for

a man who reached into an opened car window and stole a wallet Tuesday. She just needed the tone of voice she’s used for nearly 50 years in Catholic schools.

After a teacher saw the man swipe the wallet, the 5-foot-3 principal of Sacred Heart Elementary School went outside and � rmly told the man: “You need to give me what you have.”

The thief turned over the wallet, apologized and walked away.Rettinger said she merely talked to him as she would to stu-

Teens: If you can legally drive an automobile, you are aware that driving at night requires you to be extremely alert and cautious. A recent report by the Texas Transpor-tation Institute stated that nighttime driving is becom-ing more hazardous for teen-agers, and the likely cause is talking and texting on cell phones while operating a ve-hicle. The proportion of fatal crashes involving drivers 16 to 19 years old has increased 10 percent from 1999 to 2008. The percentage of nighttime fatal crashes involving driv-ers 20 years and older rose nearly 8 percent in the same time frame. The study authors said driver distraction caused by cell phone communica-tion (talking and texting) was the probable cause of the in-crease in fatalities among teen drivers. The increase in night-time crashes and fatalities in the older age group can be attributed to an increase of alcohol.

According to Bernie Fette, senior research specialist for the institute, “Driving at night is dangerous. We know us-ing a cell phone behind the wheel compromises your abil-ity to drive. Put those together and you’ve created a perfect storm.”

In 2008, the last year statis-tics were available from the National Highway Traffic Safe-ty Administration, of the 4,322 fatal crashes involving drivers ages 16 to 19 years old, 2,148 of them — just under 50 per-cent — occurred at night.

Dr. Wallace: My mother needs help fast. Her boyfriend gives her a beating at least once a month. I’ve tried to get her to call the police, but she won’t do it. I’m really scared for her. This idiot she says she loves should be locked up for a long time. This cow-ard is afraid to pick on men, so he takes out his frustra-tions on defenseless women. He weighs over 200 pounds,
