Marcy wins GOP nod to face ThompsonBy Danny Barrett [email protected]
Bill Marcy cruised to the Republican nomination in Tuesday’s primary runoff in Mississippi’s 2nd Congressio-nal District, taking Warren County with 83 percent of the vote.
Marcy, 64, of Meridian, won in 19 of the county’s 22 pre-cincts and tallied 865 votes to 176 for Richard Cook, 51, of Byram. Unofficial totals in
the 23-county district showed Marcy ahead with 58 percent of the vote with 80 percent of precincts reporting.
The former Chicago police-man and private security supervisor said his general election campaign against U.S. Rep. Bennie Thompson and Reform Party candidate
Ashley Norwood of Canton will hit all corners of the dis-trict, including heavily Dem-ocratic Jackson and Hinds County.
“We think Jackson is win-nable,” Marcy said late Tues-day at a campaign party at The Klondyke on North Washington Street. Marcy has stated plans to live in Vicksburg whether he wins Nov. 2 or not. “We’re going to talk about jobs, we’re going to talk making the quality of
life better. Black folks are not as vested in Bennie as some think.”
The 2nd District hugs the Mississippi River from Tunica to Jefferson coun-ties, picking up most of Jack-son along the way, and is Mississippi’s only majority-black congressional district. Thompson and Marcy are both black. Congressional candidates must live in the merediTh spencer•The Vicksburg PosT

U.S. judge indrilling casehas ties to oilBy The Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS — The Louisiana judge who struck down the Obama administration’s six-month ban on deep-water oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico has reported exten-sive investments in the oil and gas indus-try, according to financial disclosure reports. He’s also a new member of a secret national secu-rity court.
U.S. District Judge Martin Feldman, a 1983 appointee of President Ronald Reagan, reported owning less than $15,000 in stock in 2008 in Transocean Ltd., the company that owned the sunken Deepwater Horizon drilling rig.
Feldman overturned the ban Tuesday, saying the government simply assumed that because one rig exploded, the others pose an imminent danger, too.
The White House promised an imme-diate appeal. The Interior Department had imposed the moratorium last month in the wake of the BP disaster, halting approval of any new permits for deepwa-ter projects and suspending drilling on 33 exploratory wells.
Barbour asksChoctaws to axJones casinoBy Emily Wagster PettusThe Associated Press
JACKSON — Gov. Haley Barbour on Tuesday asked the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians to withdraw plans to build a casino in Jones County.
Barbour called the proposed facility a “slot parlor” and said it could hurt the health and safety of local residents and jeopardize tortoises, birds, snakes and plants in the Pine Belt region.
“The expansion of gaming in this way is inconsistent with the policy of the State to develop destination casino gam-bling in Mississippi, whether on tribal lands or in state waters,” Barbour said in a letter to the Choctaw miko, or chief, Beasley Denson.
The governor’s office distributed the letter with a news release.
Old Rocky Springs church heads to new place in lifeBy Pamela [email protected]
ROCKY SPRINGS — Rocky Springs United Methodist Church, a Natchez Trace beacon for local worshippers and tourists from across the country and internationally for more than 150 years, is poised to move into a new phase of operations July 1.
Sunday, the church on the hill will have its final service as a Methodist Church before being turned over to a nonprofit organization.
The 11 a.m. service will include de-consecrating the sanctuary.
In an effort to keep the historically significant building available to the public, the Friends of Rocky Springs Church Inc. will take over administra-tion of the church and open it for wed-dings, nondenominational worship services and other uses, said Elizabeth Piazza, its current pastor.
A fee will be charged for these uses, and any contributions made for the building’s maintenance and repairs will be tax-deductible.
The church at Rocky Springs was
built in about 1837 but the congrega-tion got its start before 1806, historians note, when a Methodist congregation met regularly in the town. A log cabin is thought to have stood previously on the site of the building, and records show itinerant ministers stopped there before 1800.
By the mid-1800s, Rocky Springs was a thriving farm community and, because its springs provided a clean, reliable source of water, a popular stopping point on the old Natchez Trace.
The Methodist church there survived the 1878 yellow fever epidemic and a

A Vicksburg woman reported missing this morning was believed to be on her way to Lake City, Fla., her home for more than 20 years before

NEW YORK (AP) — A rare collection of signed William Faulkner books and personal items, including one of his most acclaimed novels, “Light in August,” sold at auction Tues-day for $833,246.
The collection of 90 items was nearly a complete representa-tion of Faulkner’s work, said the auction house, Christie’s.
The auction probably was the last chance to acquire such a large collection of the author’s work, Louis Daniel Brodsky, a poet and Faulkner scholar, said in an interview before the auction.
The highest price went for “Absalom, Absalom!” a story
about South-ern poverty told entirely in flashbacks, which sold for $86,500. Inscribed in 1936 to novel-ist and jour-
nalist Malcolm Cowley, the
first edition novel exceeded the $40,000 to $60,000 pre-sale estimate.
Inscribed copies of “Absalom, Absalom!” are extremely rare, with only two others recorded at auction in the last 30 years, according to Christie’s.

Portion of Levee Street cotton compress approved for demolitionBy Steve [email protected]
A portion of the Vicksburg Compress buildings at 2400 Levee St. that used to house a cotton gin press can be torn down due to excessive water damage and asbestos, the Vicksburg Board of Archi-tectural Review approved Tuesday.
“I don’t think it’s historic,” said board member Betty Bul-lard. “I don’t think there’s any reason not to grant the demolition.”
None of the other board mem-bers disagreed, and the demo was approved unanimously with no further comment.
Leland Speed, who pre-sented the case to the board on behalf of owner Vicksburg Compress LLC, said the roof of a shed housing the gin press was damaged in a storm about two years ago. A partially col-lapsed roof has led to signifi-cant water damage to a brick and metal room that Speed said amounts to a covered walkway between two larger warehouses.
“Essentially, we’ll be remov-
ing one portion of the roof and be creating a hallway between two buildings,” he said follow-ing the meeting.
About 13 warehouses and sheds with about 340,000 square feet of storage space comprise the Vicksburg Com-press, which is spread over 22 acres near where the Yazoo Diversion Canal meets with the Mississippi River. The structures have been vacant and up for lease for years. Speed said the original struc-tures at the compress date to 1903, while others have been added since.
“This room that we’re taking the roof and some brick out around the gin press is prob-ably one of the oldest rooms there, unfortunately,” added Speed, a nephew of former Mississippi Development Authority Leland R. Speed.
Speed said asbestos was dis-covered in the roof that is to be removed and assured the board a contractor certified to remove the toxic material will be hired for the job. As for the gin press, Speed said the owner is still searching for someone to whom to donate
it. “We’ve offered the gin press
to an agricultural museum; they didn’t want it,” he told the board.
Nancy Bell, executive direc-tor of the Vicksburg Foun-dation for Historic Preserva-tion, said she’d like to see the entire compress — and espe-cially the equipment within — preserved.
“We’d love it if somebody would take all that equipment inside,” Bell said. “It’s a great piece of history and we’d love to preserve it, but we’re talk-ing about a lot of expense to move it.”
Cotton production has entirely dried up in Warren County, with no farmers reporting cotton growth any-where in the county in 2009.
“That’s the sad thing; that we’ve gone from so much cotton production to zero in no time,” said Bell, who could not pinpoint when the Vicksburg Compress last housed cotton ginning and pressing.
Since 1903, Gulf Compress, Hill City Compress and Union Compress have operated from the buildings, Bell said. Other
smaller compresses along Levee Street and in the county competed for business when cotton was king, said Bell.
“But this was a pretty good sized one; possibly the largest of them all,” she said.
Speed said he could not dis-cuss any specific plans for the buildings, but said the owners are mindful of the historical importance of the compress and also want to preserve it.
“I don’t think they’d ever consider tearing down all of the buildings... they’re of real importance to Vicksburg,” Speed said. “We’re exploring a number of options right now for their use, and one of those options is of the highest and best use. We’re mostly just trying to clean it up now, and
make it more attractive.” Board members present
Tuesday were Bullard, Toni Lanford-Ferguson, Tom Pharr, Sue Seratt and Blake Teller. Also Tuesday, the board:• OK’d Mike Hill’s request
to demolish a home at 726 Adams St. Nancy Bell, Vicksburg Foundation for Historic Preservation exec-utive director, presented Hill’s case to the board. Bell said the home, a bun-galow dating to the 1920s, was dilapidated when Hill purchased it and it cannot be rehabbed due to ter-mite infestation and years of water damage due to a partially missing roof. The board approved the demoli-tion unanimously without
comment. • OK’d unanimously the City
of Vicksburg’s request to demolish a home at 1208 Locust St. that was dam-aged beyond repair in a fire.
• Placed a 150-day stay on the City of Vicksburg’s request to demolish a home at 2112 Oak St. Buildings and Inspections Director Victor Gray-Lewis said the owner of the property has been unresponsive in mul-tiple attempts to contact and urge him to make nec-essary repairs to get the home up to code. The city can re-approach the board after 150 days to request the demolition again.
• OK’d June 8 meeting minutes.
Blue Dogpaintingsrecovered
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — New Orleans police have recov-ered both Blue Dog paintings “shoplifted” Monday from George Rodrigue’s French Quarter gallery.
Officer Hilal Williams said the paintings were found Tuesday in a warehouse and the suspect is still at large.
Williams said a tipster called gallery workers and told them where the paintings could be found.
Police said they are search-ing for a 60-year-old New Orleans man in the theft.

WASHINGTON — With Ameri-cans furious over illegal immigra-tion — Democrats, independents, Republicans and tea partiers — there is little hope for comprehen-sive immigration reform this year. Incredibly, a majority supports Arizona’s ugly new law, which, no matter what its proponents say, begs for racial profiling.
The harsh political climate may begin to look a bit sunnier as the recession recedes and hiring picks up. In fact, there is room even now for leadership on the issue of illegal immigration.
While 58 percent of Americans support Arizona’s approach, 57 per-cent of the nation favors allowing undocumented workers a path to citizenship. Voters could probably be persuaded to support compre-hensive immigration reform if Dem-ocratic leaders made a sustained push for it.
Until that happens, Congress ought to concentrate on a few small bills that would represent a modest improvement over the current real-ity for millions of undocumented
workers — a life of living in the shadows, without legal protections, with continual fear of deporta-tion and little chance for improved circumstances.
One of the best opportunities lies in the DREAM Act, which would allow promising undocumented students to start a path toward citi-zenship if they meet certain stan-dards. The proposal, pushed for years by U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., is intended to boost illegal immigrants who came to the United States as children, have finished high school, and want to attend col-lege or join the U.S. armed forces.
The bill is a win not only for those students, but also for the country as a whole.
Much of the fury directed at ille-gal immigrants feeds off the notion that many of them are unfairly taking advantage of benefits that should be restricted to American citizens. However, that’s not the case with college; undocumented students are not displacing bona fide citizens who have been denied a seat in Calculus II.
In fact, the United States doesn’t have nearly enough students attending college. President Obama has talked again and again about
the country’s decline in educational attainment: The U.S. used to lead the world in the number of people with college degrees, but we’ve fallen behind.
Our declining educational attain-ment comes as a structural change in the labor force has made post-secondary education more nec-essary for middle-class wages. According to Georgetown Univer-sity researchers, there will be more positions demanding a two-year degree than qualified applicants to fill them by the year 2018.
In that climate, we can hardly afford to obstruct ambitious, hard-working young people who want to attend college and join the great American mainstream. According to some estimates, 65,000 undocu-mented students graduate from U.S. high schools each year. Why not let them attend college or join the military and then attain perma-nent legal status?
The DREAM Act doesn’t attempt to determine whether students here illegally should be charged in-state tuition. State legislatures would still
be free to charge them the higher out-of-state rate, if they chose.
Nor would the DREAM Act attract a steady stream of illegal border-crossers. It is narrowly tailored for students who entered the country before the age of 15 and have lived here continuously for at least five years. It is a sensible proposal that deals with a small part of the prob-lem of illegal immigration.
Nevertheless, Sen. Durbin seems willing to allow the bill to languish until the Senate takes up compre-hensive immigration reform, which seems unlikely this year. That leaves undocumented achievers such as Jessica Colotl, a student at suburban Atlanta’s Kennesaw State University, and Eric Balderas, who attends Harvard, to live with fear and uncertainty.
It’s in their best interests to pass the DREAM Act soon — and in the country’s best interests, as well.

Food-borne illnessFDA should refocus attention, resources
The U.S. Food and Drug Admin-istration has neither the money nor the power to adequately police food-borne illnesses, a new study released recently says. “The National Research Coun-cil and the Institute of Medicine, commissioned by Sen. Herb Kohl, D-Wis., should give the Senate all the evidence it needs to act on a bill that would boost inspections and generally give the agency more authority.”
The study found that food-borne illnesses cause more than 300,000 Americans to be hospital-ized each year and 5,000 of them to die. A recent outbreak of E. coli in lettuce was only the latest example.
The new report recommends that the FDA focus most of its
attention on links in the food chain likely to be the riskiest, but says the agency lacks both the data and the expertise to iden-tify the most problematic areas and most effective approaches. The report wisely recommends that the FDA establish a cen-tralized food-safety information center to collect and analyze data from both state and federal agen-cies. And it suggests that the government “move toward the establishment of a single food safety agency” in an attempt to bring authority for this impor-tant safety function under one umbrella.
Nearly a year ago, the House passed a bill that would require more inspections, give inspectors more access to company records
and make new requirements of companies. Under this bill, the agency also could issue recalls and impose new requirements to help the agency do a better job of tracing problems. The Senate is considering a similar bill, but efforts to weaken the legislation by exempting small producers may doom it.
For its part, the FDA is consid-ering new, tougher rules of its own, focusing on water quality, employee hygiene, soil, includ-ing manure and compost, and wildlife intrusions in fields where produce is grown.
Those new rules are a good step, but the agency also needs broader authority and probably improved funding.
It’s time for lawmakers to act.

Q: Since the banks are all paying 1 percent or less for CDs, is it better to give in to the banks, or to just not keep your money in the bank at all? — Pamela, California
A: Some banks are paying more than 1 percent, but i t is still a very small amount. For exam-ple, with check-
ing accounts that pay 1.5 per-cent, you can take the money out whenever you wish with no penalty, a far better deal than a 1 percent CD. That
having been observed, you can’t just put the money in a shoebox under your bed. Most of the money market funds are paying a very tiny amount of interest. Unfortu-nately, the saver right now is being penalized. There are corporate stocks that are paying a decent dividend and all together paying more than 5 percent. I am sure you can understand that there is a degree of risk, however small. That is your call. Hopefully the Fed is going to start raising interest rates — getting over some of the paranoia about inflation — and savers will at least be partially rewarded.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Are the toys in your child’s Happy Meal making him fat?
The Center for Science in the Public Interest says they are. The Washington-based con-sumer advocacy group threat-ened to file a lawsuit against McDonald’s Tuesday, charg-ing that the fast food chain “unfairly and deceptively” markets the toys to children.
“McDonald’s marketing has the effect of conscripting America’s children into an unpaid drone army of word-of-mouth marketers, caus-ing them to nag their parents to bring them to McDon-ald’s,” CSPI’s Stephen Gard-ner wrote to the heads of the
chain in a letter announcing the lawsuit.
The center, which has filed dozens of lawsuits against food companies in recent years, is hoping the publicity and the threat of a lawsuit will force McDonald’s to negotiate with them on the issue. The group announced the lawsuit in the letter to McDonald’s 30 days
before filing it with the hope that the company will agree to stop selling the toys before a suit is filed.
McDonald’s Vice President of Communications, William Whitman, said in a statement that the company “couldn’t disagree more” with CSPI’s assertion that their toys vio-late any laws. He said McDon-
ald’s restaurants offer more variety than they ever have and Happy Meals are made smaller for kids.
“We are proud of our Happy Meal which gives our custom-ers wholesome food and toys of the highest quality and safety,” Whitman said. “Get-ting a toy is just one part of a fun, family experience at McDonald’s.”
CSPI said the suit would be filed in state court. The center has not settled on a state yet, but the group believes the toys in Happy Meals violate state consumer protection laws in Massachusetts, Texas, the Dis-trict of Columbia, New Jersey and California.

NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks fell today after new home sales dropped 33 percent last month to a record low follow-ing the end of homebuyer tax credits.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell about 40 points in morning trading. Broader indexes also fell.
The government’s report that new homes sales fell to a seasonally adjusted annual pace of 300,000 was far weaker than expected. Economists polled by Thomson Reuters had forecast sales would drop nearly 19 percent to a season-ally adjusted annual rate of 410,000.
An unexpected drop in sales of existing homes also hurt stocks. Existing homes are a far bigger part of the market than new homes.
The slide comes as trad-
ers waited on the Federal Reserve’s latest assessment of the economy. Investors will be looking for clues on whether policymakers still expect a slow recovery. The central bank is widely expected to keep interest rates steady following its two-day meet-ing that was to wrap up this afternoon.
The Fed has said rates will remain low for the time being to help a rebound. Any indi-cations of growth would be a welcome sign for a market that has been choppy and vol-atile in recent weeks.
Low rates help the stock market because they give investors few alternatives for big profits aside from stocks.
A low federal funds rate helps limit returns in the bond market.
High unemployment and weakness in housing are two of the main reasons the Fed has been able to keep rates low. Uncertainty surround-ing a recovery in the jobs and
housing markets have cast doubt on the pace of the eco-nomic recovery.
In midmorning trading, the Dow fell 40.88, or 0.4 percent, to 10,252.64. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell 6.69, or 0.6 percent, to 1,088.62, and the Nasdaq composite index fell 17.08, or 0.8 percent, to 2,244.72.

BILOXI (AP) — Additional layers of boom protection for Heron Bay, St. Louis Bay, Biloxi Bay and Pascagoula Bay will begin being installed this week as another preven-tive layer to the boom already in place along the Mississippi Coast.
Mississippi currently has over 433,000 feet of boom, and this round will be more than 74,000 feet of boom. The boom ranges in various sizes from 42-inch ocean boom to 18-inch regular boom.
“Input from local officials was valuable as BP was able to secure this boom to focus specifically on our river system bays. We all have learned some helpful lessons on strategic boom placement from the booming in Alabama and Louisiana including how they can be affected by cur-rents and tides.
“This additional boom is another component of BP’s efforts, and we will continue to implement other measures to improve what is already in place. We are doing all we can to find effective counter-measures,” Trudy Fisher, executive director of the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, said Tuesday.
The plan calls for boom in these four designated areas:
• 9,000 feet of boom for Heron Bay.
• 14,300 feet for St. Louis Bay.
• 26,500 feet for Biloxi Bay with additional protection at Deer Island.
• 21,000 feet of boom for Pas-cagoula Bay.
Officials told WLOX-TV that the size of the boom, as well as the length, will depend on the bay and the water depth.
Fisher said 18-inch boom generally will have 8 inches of flotation device and 10 inches of skirt to help catch the water. For deeper depths, a larger boom and skirt is needed.
The boom will have move-able gates that will allow for vessel passage.
Also, the state is negoti-ating to buy a fleet of skim-
mers, Dan Turner, spokes-man for Gov. Haley Barbour, said Tuesday.
Turner said Tuesday that the state plans to use a por-
tion of the $50 million BP set aside for Mississippi in the wake of the spill.
“As you might imagine, it’s a fairly limited market right
now for skimmers, and BP is trying to buy all they can get their hands on,” Turner said. “We have found a spe-cialized skimmer that’s made locally, and we are in negotia-tions with a company to buy skimmers.”
Turner did not have the names of the companies.
He said there is no official time frame for getting the skimmers but “as with the pace of everything related to
the spill, we want them as soon as possible.”
There are three skimming units out of a total of 72 now operating off the Mis-sissippi coast, said Michael Dennehy, a spokesman at the Joint Unified Incident Command center in Mobile, “mostly because fortunately for everybody in Mississippi, we’ve seen less impact there than in other areas.”

PARIS (AP) — The Inter-national Energy Agency forecasts world oil demand will grow by an average of 1.4 percent annually through 2015, an upgrade to mid-term expectations due to improved economic growth prospects.
The IEA, which advises oil-consuming countries, said today that oil demand would reach 92 million bar-rels a day by 2015 assuming
annual economic growth of 4.5 percent from 2010.
That compares with last year’s forecast of average annual demand growth of 0.6 percent over the 2008-2014 period.
The Paris-based IEA said it expects a strong rise in oil demand in China, India and the Middle East, but weaker or flat growth elsewhere, particularly in Europe where the economy is fragile.

KINGSTON, Jamaica (AP) — Reputed gang leader Christopher “Dudus” Coke,
who eluded a bloody police offensive in his slum stronghold last month, was arrested Tuesday by authori-ties outside
Jamaica’s cap-ital, the island’s top cop said.
Coke has been called one of the world’s most dangerous drug lords by U.S. authorities and faces trial in New York on drug and arms traffick-ing charges. His arrest came nearly a month after 76 people were killed during a four-day assault by police and soldiers on the West Kingston slum of Tivoli Gardens, Coke’s base that was defended by his armed followers.
At a news conference, Police Commissioner Owen Elling-ton said the 42-year-old Coke was in good condition in police custody. He said Coke was captured by police manning a vehicle checkpoint along a highway, but said other “cir-cumstances of (Coke’s) arrest are being investigated.”
The Rev. Al Miller, an influ-ential evangelical preacher who facilitated the surrender of Coke’s brother earlier this month, told The Associated Press that Coke was prepared to surrender to authorities at the U.S. Embassy in Kings-ton when police stopped his convoy on a highway outside the capital.
“A contact was made on his behalf that he wanted to give himself in,” Miller said. “I therefore made arrangements with his lawyers because he wanted to go ahead with the extradition process, so we communicated with the U.S. Embassy because that’s where he would feel more comfortable.”
Miller said police cap-tured Coke on the way to the embassy and then took him to the nearby Spanish Town police headquarters. He was then flown to Kingston, the preacher said.

McChrystal, president meet in private
WAshIngton (AP) — Afghanistan war commander Gen. Stanley McChrystal met privately with President Barack Obama at the White House today, then departed ahead of a scheduled war strategy session. There was no immediate word on whether Obama would fire him for his inflammatory remarks in a magazine interview.
Officials had initially indi-cated that McChrystal would attend the strategy session on Afghanistan to explain remarks he made in the interview with Rolling Stone magazine. But he was seen leaving the West Wing and climbing into a van after his nearly half-hour face-to-face meeting with the president. McChrystal had met earlier in the day with Defense Sec-retary Robert Gates and Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Adm. Mike Mullen.
Before the White House meeting, two military offi-cials said McChrystal went in prepared to submit his res-ignation. They spoke on con-dition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.
Obama was expected to make an announcement on
McChrystal’s future later today.
“I think it’s clear that the article in which he and his team appeared ... showed poor judgment,” Obama said Tues-day at the close of an unre-lated Cabinet meeting. “But I also want to make sure that I talk to him directly before I make any final decisions.”
Obama summoned McChrys-tal to Washington from Afghanistan after learning of his comments about admin-istration officials. A White House rebuke of McChrys-
tal suggested that it would be hard for him to save his job.
Afghan President Hamid Karzai expressed his confi-dence in McChrystal during a video conference Tuesday night with Obama, Karzai spokesman Waheed Omar said today in Kabul.
“We hope there is not a change of leadership of the international forces here in Afghanistan and that we con-tinue to partner with Gen. McChrystal,” Omar told reporters.
In the Rolling Stone article,
McChrystal didn’t criticize Obama himself but called the period last fall when the pres-ident was deciding whether to approve more troops “painful” and said Obama appeared ready to hand him an “unsellable” position.
McChrystal also said he was “betrayed” by Ambassador Karl Eikenberry, the man the White House chose to be his diplomatic partner in Afghan-istan. He accused Eikenberry of raising doubts about Karzai only to give himself cover in case the U.S. effort failed. “Now, if we fail, they can say ‘I told you so,”’ McChrystal told the magazine. And he was quoted mocking Vice Presi-dent Joe Biden.
If not insubordination, the remarks — as well as even sharper commentary about Obama and his White House from several in McChrystal’s inner circle — were at least an indirect and extraordi-nary challenge and one that consumed Washington on Tuesday. The capital hasn’t seen a similar public con-tretemps between a presi-dent and a top wartime com-mander since Harry Truman stripped Gen. Douglas Mac-Arthur of his command more than a half-century ago after disagreements over Korean War strategy.
Notably, neither McChrys-tal nor his team questioned the accuracy of the story or the quotes in it. McChrystal issued an apology.
White House releases ‘patients’ bill of rights’WAshIngton (AP) —
President Barack Obama unveiled a package of con-sumer benefits Tuesday to build support for his health care overhaul within a divided nation and warned Republi-cans about trying to repeal his landmark law. “We’re not going back,” said a defiant president.
Marking the first 90 days since the bill was signed, the White House rolled out new regulations that explain how several provisions of the law will be carried out, including a ban on insurers denying cov-erage to kids in poor health.
The White House called it a “patients’ bill of rights,” but Republicans dismissed Tues-day’s announcement as a public relations effort.
“This shouldn’t be called a health care bill of rights, but a bill of goods that the Ameri-can people aren’t buying,” said Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah.
The law’s major benefit — expansion of coverage to some 32 million uninsured — doesn’t come until 2014. So Obama is doing his best to showcase its modest early benefits.
The safeguards announced Tuesday apply to most health plans renewing on or after
Sept. 23. They include:• Guaranteed coverage for
children with pre-existing health problems. The admin-istration estimates that about 540,000 children with health problems are unin-sured, and some 51,000 are likely to gain coverage. It’s still unclear whether fami-lies will be able to afford the premiums. The law does not limit what insurers can charge.
• A ban on lifetime coverage limits. More than 100 million people are enrolled in plans that currently impose such limits, the White House said.
• Phasing out annual cover-age limits. Starting this year, plans can set annual limits no lower than $750,000. Such limits rise to $2 million in 2012, and will be completely prohibited in 2014.

WAshIngton (AP) — Nearly 1,300 prison inmates wrongly received more than $9 million in tax credits for homebuyers despite being locked up when they claimed they bought a home, a gov-ernment investigator reported today.
The investigator said 241 of the inmates were serving life sentences.
In all, more than 14,100 tax-payers wrongly received at least $26.7 million in tax cred-its that were meant to boost the nation’s slumping housing markets, said the report by J. Russell George, the Treasury Department’s inspector gen-eral for tax administration.
Some taxpayers received the credit for homes pur-chased before the tax break was started. In other cases, multiple taxpayers improp-erly used the same home to claim multiple credits. Inves-tigators found one home that was used by 67 taxpayers to claim credits.
“This is very troubling,” George said.
The Internal Revenue Ser-vice said, “A very small number of payments were made to prisoners incorrectly, which the IRS is now taking all steps to recapture and to prevent going forward. The IRS will follow up on every instance of an improper pris-oner payment and take swift and appropriate enforcement actions.”

The Choctaw Tribal Coun-cil voted June 8 to put a 27,000-square-foot building with about 500 to 700 slot machines and a snack shop on a tribal-owned site near Sandersville.
Barbour, a Republican, said he’s asking Attorney Gen-eral Jim Hood, a Democrat, to take legal action to try to block the development.
Warren Strain, spokes-
man for the Choctaws, said it would be “inappropriate” to comment on the governor’s request because of the poten-tial of a lawsuit by the state. The attorney general’s office said Hood was researching the matter.
The development would be the Choctaws’ second gam-bling site in Mississippi. It operates two adjoining casi-nos on a resort in Neshoba
County, near Philadelphia. The resort is about 80 miles north of the proposed devel-opment in Jones County.
The Choctaw casinos are not regulated by the state. Mississippi has 30 state-reg-ulated casinos that operate along the waters of the Mis-sissippi River and along the waters and a short distance inland on the Gulf Coast.
Several other elected offi-
cials, including Republicans U.S. Rep. Gregg Harper and Lt. Gov. Phil Bryant, have spoken out against expan-sion of Choctaw gambling.
Barbour said Jones County would not receive any tax revenue from the casino, but would have extra traf-fic on its roads and bridges. He cited the 8-7 vote by the Tribal Council on the Jones County project.
“While I respect the sover-eignty of the Choctaw nation and have no intention of interfering with its internal governance, it appears to me imprudent and inconsis-tent with past practice for the MCBI to pursue its cur-rent plan in Jones County when obviously it is not fully endorsed by the tribe,” Bar-bour wrote to Denson.
The Choctaws own about 35,000 acres in Mississippi. The tribe has eight commu-nities in 10 counties.

Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said in a statement late Tuesday that within the next few days he would issue a new order imposing a moratorium that eliminates any doubt it is needed and appropriate.
BP’s new point man for the oil spill wouldn’t say today if the company would resume deepwater drilling in the Gulf of Mexico.
Asked about it this morn-ing, BP managing director Bob Dudley said they will “step back” from the issue while they investigate the rig explosion.
Also today, BP said Dudley has been appointed to head the new Gulf Coast Restora-tion Organization, which is in charge of cleaning up the oil spill.
Several companies that ferry people and supplies and provide other services to offshore rigs argued that the moratorium was arbi-trarily imposed after the April 20 explosion that killed 11 workers and blew out a well 5,000 feet underwater. It has spewed anywhere from 67 million to 127 million gal-lons of oil.
Feldman’s 2008 financial disclosure report — the most recent available — also showed investments in Ocean Energy, a Hous-ton-based company, as well as Quicksilver Resources, Prospect Energy, Peabody Energy, Halliburton, Pen-growth Energy Trust, Atlas Energy Resources, Parker Drilling and others. Hallibur-ton also was involved in the doomed Deepwater Horizon project.
Feldman did not respond to requests for comment and to clarify whether he still holds some or all of these investments.
He’s one of many federal judges across the Gulf Coast region who have had money in oil and gas. Several have disqualified themselves from hearing spill-related lawsuits
and others have sold their holdings so they can preside over some of the 200-plus cases.
Although Feldman ruled in favor of oil interests Tuesday, one expert said his reason-ing appeared sound because the six-month ban was overly broad.
“There’s been some con-cern that he is biased toward the industry, but I don’t see it in this opinion,” said Tim Howard, a Northeast-ern University law professor who also represents busi-nesses and people claiming economic losses in several spill-related lawsuits. “They overreacted and just shut an industry down, rather than focusing on where the prob-lems are.”
That was what Feldman essentially said in his ruling, writing that the blanket mor-atorium “seems to assume that because one rig failed and although no one yet fully knows why, all companies and rigs drilling new wells over 500 feet also univer-sally present an imminent danger.”
Josh Reichert, managing director of the Pew Environ-ment Group, said the ruling should be rescinded if Feld-man still has investments in companies that could benefit.
“If Judge Feldman has any investments in oil and gas operators in the Gulf, it rep-resents a flagrant conflict of interest,” Reichert said.
Feldman’s ruling prohibits federal officials from enforc-ing the moratorium until a trial is held. He wrote: “If some drilling equipment parts are flawed, is it ratio-nal to say all are? Are all airplanes a danger because one was? All oil tankers like Exxon Valdez? All trains? All mines? That sort of thinking seems heavy-handed, and rather overbearing.”
At least two major oil com-panies, Shell and Marathon, said they would wait to see how the appeals play out
before resuming drilling.The lawsuit was filed by
Hornbeck Offshore Ser-vices of Covington, La. CEO Todd Hornbeck said after the ruling that he is looking forward to getting back to work. “It’s the right thing for not only the industry but the country,” he said.
Earlier in the day, execu-tives at a major oil confer-ence in London warned that the moratorium would crip-ple world energy supplies. Steven Newman, president and CEO of Transocean, called it unnecessary and an overreaction.
“There are things the administration could imple-ment today that would allow the industry to go back to work tomorrow without an arbitrary six-month time limit,” Newman said.
BP stock dropped 81 cents Tuesday, or 2.7 percent, to $29.52, near a 14-year low for the company in U.S. trading. The stocks of other compa-nies associated with the spill remained low despite Feld-man’s ruling.
In London, British Prime Minister David Cameron’s office said he would discuss BP and the oil spill in a meet-ing Saturday with President Barack Obama. Cameron’s spokesman Steve Field told reporters today the men
will discuss the beleaguered energy company during a meeting during the G-8 and G-20 summits in Canada.
Feldman is a native of St. Louis and former Army captain in the Judge Advo-cate General Corps who was appointed in May to a seven-year term on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, according to court records.
The court meets secretly to consider government requests for wiretaps in national security cases, such as those involving foreign terrorist groups.
A graduate of Tulane Uni-versity in New Orleans with bachelor’s and law degrees, Feldman frequently jokes with lawyers before his court about his friendship with Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, known for
his strict interpretation of the Constitution as written more than 200 years ago.
Feldman has handled sev-eral cases stemming from Hurricane Katrina, among them a lawsuit against the city of New Orleans filed by a retired teacher who sued over his beating by police officers in the French Quar-ter. The case was settled. Feldman also presided over the first trial in a wave of insurance litigation spawned by the storm.
In August, he will sentence Wayne Read, a former movie studio CEO who pleaded guilty to selling $1.9 million in nonexistent state film tax credits to current and former members of the New Orleans Saints, including head coach Sean Payton and Super Bowl MVP quarterback Drew Brees.

James Monroe Peterson
DECLO, Idaho — James Monroe Peterson, age 89, died of natural causes at his home the morning of June 21, 2010.
He was born Sept. 25, 1920, in Elba, Idaho, to Carl Julius and Lou Stelle Barham Peterson. He graduated from Wendell High School in 1939, and the Univer-sity of Idaho in 1950, with a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering.
He weeded onions with his sisters and brothers, worked on a railroad tie gang, and in his youth helped support his family during the Great Depression. Following high school, Mr. Peterson enlisted in the Coast Guard for six years and was a radioman and instructor during World War II. He gave more than 30 years civil service until he retired as chief of engineer-ing in the construction divi-
sion of the Army Corps of Engineers in Vicksburg.
He married his Southern belle sweetheart, the late Norma Wray Johnson, on July 25, 1942, in Baltimore, Md. They later were sealed in the Salt Lake LDS Temple.
A faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Lat-ter-day Saints, he served as a bishop three times, actively supported the Boy Scouts of America, often shared his faith and love of the gospel, and always served wherever asked. He enjoyed carpen-try, tennis, hunting, fishing, gardening, singing, the jitter-bug, good stories, poetry, and chess. Most of all, he enjoyed relationships with family and friends.
He is survived by his baby sister, Ida May Bell; his brother-in-law, Frank C. “Red” Gilmore; his daugh-ters, Julia Dawn and Bonnie Wray Bair (Russell); his sons, James Monroe Peterson Jr., Bryant Wendell Peter-son (Ivy), Jonathan Larelle Peterson, and Erik Stefan Peterson (Anita); 22 grand-children; ten great-grandchil-dren; and one great-great-grandson.
Mr. Peterson was preceded in death by his wife, Norma Wray Johnson Peterson; his parents, Carl Julius and Lou Stelle Barham Peterson; sib-lings, Carl Oscar Peterson, Anna Laura Peterson King, Iva Lou Peterson Badger,
Eva Lena Peterson Gilmore, and Julius Grant Peterson; and two grandsons, Michael James Peterson and Daniel Thomas Black
The funeral will be held at 10 a.m. Friday, June 25, at the Declo LDS Stake Center, 213 W. Main St., with Bishop Garth L. Searle officiating. Burial will be in the Declo Cemetery with military rites
provided by the Mini-Cassia Veterans Organization.
Friends may call from 6 until 8 p.m. Thursday at the Rasmussen Funeral Home, 1350 E. 16th St., in Burley, and from 9 until 9:45 a.m. Friday at the church.
The family suggests memo-rials be directed to the Boy Scouts of America in care of the Declo First Ward.

state they want to represent, but don’t have to live in the district.
Marcy’s prior electoral runs were in Meridian, including a loss in a state House race in 2009. Cook plans to sup-port Marcy in his bid to upset Thompson, first elected in 1993 and chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee. In 2008, Thomp-son defeated Cook with 69 percent of the vote.
“Our main goal is to get rid of Bennie, so we’re going to get behind Bill,” Cook told The Associated Press Tues-day night.
Turnout exceeded expecta-tions in Warren County, as 1,041 ballots — or 3.4 per-
cent of the county’s 30,306 voters listed on the active roll — were cast. Complete but unofficial results showed only 7 votes reported Tues-day in Tunica County, 10 in Humphreys County and 18 in
Claiborne County and 168 in Leflore County.
Marcy has not reported any money raised or spent in the campaign to date. Federal election law stipu-lates candidates who raise
or spend $5,000 file a finance report with the Federal Elec-tion Commission. Thompson, first elected in 1993, showed $2,064,872 in cash on hand, with $1,352,965 raised and $572,219 spent.
ElectionContinued from Page A1.
2010 themes pop up in runoff results
WASHINGTON (AP) — South Carolina Republicans nominated a tea party-backed Indian-American woman to run for governor and a con-servative black man to run for Congress from the former Con-federate state. Another incum-bent congressman lost. So did a Senate hopeful chosen by Washington Democrats.
Themes of the November midterm elections popped up in the handful of primaries and runoffs held Tuesday in four states, the latest cluster of contests to determine match-ups for the midterm congres-sional elections just over four months away.
It’s shaping up to be an anti-establishment year, with angry voters casting ballots against candidates with ties to Wash-ington and the national politi-cal parties.
Perhaps no other contest illustrated that better than GOP state Rep. Nikki Haley’s race for governor.
A state legislator with the backing of tea party activists and Sarah Palin, the Indian-American woman overtook the state’s old-boy network by beating Rep. Gresham Barrett, a four-term congressman.
With her victory, she moved one step closer to becoming the first female governor in conservative South Carolina; she stands as the front-runner in the race against the Demo-cratic gubernatorial nominee, state Sen. Vincent Sheheen. She also secured her place as a rising female star in the GOP, if not a potential 2012 vice presidential candidate in the early primary state.
The disgraced GOP Gov. Mark Sanford is leaving the post because of term limits.
Haley, 38, brushed aside allegations of marital infidel-ity and an ethnic slur to come
within a percentage point of winning the gubernatorial nod outright on June 8. She won 65 percent of the vote to 35 per-cent for Barrett, who has had to answer for his 2008 vote for the Wall Street bailout.
South Carolina Republicans also nominated Tim Scott, put-ting him in line to become the state’s first black GOP con-gressman in more than a cen-tury. Scott, 44, also a state law-maker, beat Paul Thurmond, the son of the late U.S. sena-tor and former segregation-ist Strom Thurmond, in the runoff after securing the back-ing of Palin, the anti-tax Club for Growth and several Repub-lican leaders in Washington. With all precincts counted, he had 68 percent of the vote to 32 percent for Thurmond.
The GOP-leaning 1st Con-gressional District stretches down the Carolina coast and includes Fort Sumter, where the first shots of the Civil War were fired. If elected to the House, Scott would be the GOP’s first black lawmaker since Oklahoma’s J.C. Watts retired in 2003. Scott will face Democrat Ben Frasier, who also is black, in November, and is strongly favored to win.
Also in South Carolina, six-term Republican Rep. Bob Inglis fell to prosecutor Trey Gowdy in the 4th Congressio-nal District, making him the fifth House or Senate incum-bent to stumble this year. Spar-tanburg prosecutor Gowdy forced Inglis into a runoff after making the race a ref-erendum on the incumbent’s bailout vote and casting him as not conservative enough for the district.
In North Carolina, Secretary of State Elaine Marshall won the Democratic nomination to challenge GOP Sen. Richard Burr in the fall.

The gallery watched qui-etly Tuesday as tension built through two playoff holes. Neither Caleb Myers nor Colton Miller could close out the tournament until, finally, Miller’s long putt skidded off the edge of the green.
Myers strolled to his ball as his friend putted out, then dropped in a 3-footer and gave a celebratory fist pump. The 13-year-old’s reward was a small trophy, a happy handshake from Miller and the promise of a rematch soon.
Two days after the U.S. Open wrapped up in Cali-fornia, 16 boys and girls gathered at Clear Creek Golf Course to play for much smaller stakes by participating in the third of eight summer tourna-ments at local golf courses. Although trophies were awarded to the winners, the competition and camra-derie were the real prizes.
“I just like that you get to get outside and fun. To me, it doesn’t matter if you win or lose,” said 10-year-old Vicksburg resident Colton Jamison.
The summer tourna-ment series is a joint ven-ture between On-Target Golf, run by teaching pro Kathy Hester, and course pros Kent Smith and Stuart Conway at Clear Creek and Vicksburg Country Club. The Country Club of Canton will also host a tournament. The series is designed to get chil-dren involved in golf in a way that goes beyond mind-numbing drills in the summer heat.
“I have a camp and they enjoy that, but it gets hot and it’s hard to focus. What
they really like is when you mention a golf tournament. They thrive on it. They want to be there,” Hester said.
Some of the older players, including a few from St. Aloysius and Clinton High School, used the tourna-ment for practice.
Others were simply kill-ing time and making friends. Austin Burnham, a 10-year-old from Pearl, came to Clear Creek with
his uncle Kevin Dunagin. Burnham met his play-ing partners Jamison and Mack Foley for the first time when he arrived Tuesday. Afterward they sat on a bench talking and joking like old friends.
“With kids, it’s not the competition. I think they get to meet more friends,” Dunagin said. “Twenty dol-lars is nothing. You’re get-ting them out of the house, getting to play outside and hit something.”
B.J. Crawford, 5, takes a swing during the first hole of the On-Target Junior Golf Tournament Tuesday. Sixteen children
ages 5 to 17 competed in the event at Clear Creek Golf Course.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Jackie Bradley and Adrian Morales homered during an eight-run second inning that propelled South Caro-lina to an 11-4 victory over No. 1 national seed Arizona State on Tuesday, knocking the Sun Devils out of the College World Series.
Whit Merrifield finished a 3-for-5 game with his 13th homer to give the Game-cocks a seven-run lead.
The Gamecocks (49-16) play either Oklahoma or Clemson on Thursday in another elimination game. Those teams started a Bracket 2 winners’ game Tuesday night but it was suspended after a 32-min-ute weather delay with Clemson leading 6-1 in the top of the sixth. The game was scheduled to resume at 3:30 p.m. today.
The Sun Devils (52-10) lost consecutive games for the first time this season and went two-and-out at the CWS for only the third time in 22 appearances. The eight-run second was their worst inning since 2007.
“I wouldn’t call them impostors,” Arizona State coach Tim Esmay said of his players. “They are 18, 19 and 20 years old and had a heck of a year. I’m not going to say this wasn’t the Sun Devil team I saw all year. When you’ve got eight teams at the end, ev-eryone has a sense of how to win, and that’s what I saw happen.”

Donovan’s goalkeeps U.S. aliveBy The Associated Press
PRETORIA, South Africa — Landon Donovan scored in the first minute of stoppage time off a rebound, advanc-ing the United States to the second round at the World Cup with a 1-0 win over Alge-ria today.
With the U.S. perhaps three minutes from elimination, Jozy Altidore was stopped on a breakaway by goalkeeper Rais Bolihi. Donovan hustled in and kicked in the rebound to win Group C.
With just its fifth shutout in
World Cup play, the U.S. (1-0-2) won a World Cup group for the first time since 1930 and will face the runner-up in Group D this weekend.
England (1-0-2), which beat Slovenia 1-0 moments ear-lier, also had five points but finished second because the U.S. scored four goals to two for the English. Slovenia (1-1-1) was third with four points, missing advancing because of Donovan’s heroics, and Algeria (0-2-1) was last with one.

Roddick,Heninsweat outvictoriesBy The Associated Press
WIMBLEDON, England — Three-time Wimble-don runner-up Andy Rod-dick advanced to the third round by rallying past Michael Llodra 4-6, 6-4, 6-1, 7-6 (2) this morning.
Playing the first match today on sun-splashed Centre Court, Roddick hit 25 aces, lost serve just once and committed only 11 unforced errors.
Seeded fifth, Roddick struggled early trying to read Llodra’s serve. He broke for the first time at love in the final game of the second set to even the match, then won five consecutive games in the third set to take control.
As the crowd applauded Roddick’s victory, he responded with a soccer kick, mindful that his match ended during Eng-land’s crucial World Cup game against Slovenia.
Justine Henin also had a tough time today. The seven-time Grand Slam champion twice was broken while serv-ing for the match, then regrouped and advanced to the third round by beat-ing Kristina Barrois 6-3, 7-5.
“I was sometimes too much in a rush to finish, probably because she gave up at that time and my intensity really dropped down,” Henin said. “I had a good reac-tion to the situation.”
Fellow Belgian Kim Cli-jsters also advanced, beat-ing Karolina Sprem 6-3, 6-2. Clijsters and Henin are both back at Wim-bledon after coming out of retirement, and they could meet in the fourth round.
No. 13 Shahar Peer lost to Angelique Kerber 3-6, 6-3, 6-4. No. 11 Marion Bar-toli advanced with a walk-over against Petra Martic.
Umbrellas were out — not for rain, but as shields from the sun on the hot-test day of the tourna-ment. With temperatures heading into the low 80s, the All England Club’s public address announcer advised spectators to make sure they had skin protection, head wear and water.
“All are vital necessi-ties,” he said.

M-Braves stumble in second-half openerFrom staff reports
A clean start brought more of the same disappointment that has plagued the Missis-sippi Braves lately.
Cyle Hankerd drove in two runs with a go-ahead single and the Mobile BayBears went on to beat the M-Braves 7-6 Tuesday night in the opener of a six-game series at Trustmark Park.
It was the first game of the second half of the Southern League season, but contin-ued the M-Braves’ month-long slide in June. They’re just 5-14 this month.
Hankerd finished the game
2-for-4 with three RBIs for Mobile, which wasted a lead of its own before rallying to win. The BayBears scored three runs in the top of the third to take a 5-2 lead as a wild pitch and an error helped the inning along.
The M-Braves came back to take the lead with four runs
in the bottom of the sixth. Three singles loaded the bases before Michael Daniel drove a two-run double to right field. Another double by Juan Gonzalez brought in two more runs and gave the Braves a 6-5 lead.
It didn’t last long.In the top of the seventh
Kory Casto was hit by a piched and Konrad Schmidt doubled to put runners at second and third with one out. After a strikeout, Han-kerd singled to left to plate both runners and put Mobile back in front.
The M-Braves threat-ened in the eighth but had a
runner thrown out at third and didn’t score. Mobile reliever Leyson Septimo then set them down in order in the ninth to earn his third save of the season.
Richard Sullivan took the loss for Mississippi and dropped his record to 1-7. He pitched three innings of relief and didn’t allow another bas-erunner after giving up the two runs in the seventh.
The M-Braves and Bay-Bears will play game two of their series tonight at 7:05 at Trustmark Park. Erik Cordier (5-4) will pitch for the M-Braves against left-hander Tom Layne (7-4).

basEbaLLGonzalez firedby Florida Marlins
BALTIMORE — The Florida Mar-lins have fired manager Fredi Gon-zalez and named Edwin Rodriguez to replace him on an interim basis.
The team said in a release today that it also dismissed bench coach Carlos Tosca and hitting coach Jim Presley.
Florida improved to 34-36 fol-lowing Tuesday night’s 10-4 win over the Baltimore Orioles. Mar-lins owner Jeffrey Loria said he’s making the change because he believes the team can “do better and be better.”
In three-plus seasons as the Marlins’ manager, Gonzalez was 276-279. The Marlins began the day fourth in the National League East, 7 1/2 games behind first-place Atlanta.
Rodriguez has spent the past 1 1/2 seasons as manager of Triple-A New Orleans.
Pirates reinstatepunished pierogi
PITTSBURGH — The pierogi is back, but the Pittsburgh Pirates say it’s not because anybody turned up the heat.
Pirates communications director Brian Warecki said the team has rehired 24-year-old Andrew Kurtz, who earns $25 per night to race around the stadium in a pierogi costume.
Kurtz was fired last week after using the Internet to criticize con-tract extensions given to general manager Neal Huntington and manager John Russell.
Warecki says Kurtz was rehired Saturday because he had not been dismissed in accordance with com-pany procedures. Warecki says team management learned of the firing on Friday and promptly offered Kurtz his job back because he shouldn’t have been terminated in the first place.
He said bad publicity played no part in the decision.

Streaking Sox stop BravesCHICAGO (AP) — Sure,
the Chicago White Sox had a six-game winning streak — against Pittsburgh and Wash-ington. How would they do against the NL’s best?
As it turned out, just fine.They roughed up one of
baseball’s top young pitchers, Tommy Hanson, and rolled to a 9-6 victory Tuesday night over the Atlanta Braves, who came in with a five-game winning streak and a 34-14 mark over the previous seven weeks.
“We’re lucky. That’s what people want to hear,” man-ager Ozzie Guillen said after his White Sox won for the 11th time in 12 games to go over .500 for the first time since they were 1-0.
“I think people don’t believe we can play very well. People forgot those guys (White Sox players) have some creden-tials. They have numbers in the past. We just didn’t play the way we should have been playing early in the season.”
On June 8, the White Sox were 24-33 and 9 1/2 games behind Minnesota in the AL Central. Now they are 35-34 and 4 1/2 games back.
Chicago had 13 of its season-high 16 hits during Hanson’s 3 2/3 innings. The first 10 were singles before Carlos Quen-tin’s three-run homer put the White Sox up 9-3 in the fourth. It was their first home run in nine games since Alex Rios went deep June 12.
The White Sox are 11-2 against NL teams this season and 139-103 since interleague play began in 1997.
“If we had been getting beat by those teams, we’d have been written off as the worst team in the league,” said White
Sox starter John Danks, who allowed three runs and six hits in seven innings.
“We have no control of who’s on our schedule. We’re play-ing good baseball. We’ve been saying all along we’re a good team. The record looks a lot better, and we feel we’re back in the mix.”
Hanson (7-4) surrendered a career-high nine runs as his four-game winning streak ended. He had been 4-0 with a 0.75 ERA against AL teams and had a string of 23 consecu-tive scoreless innings in inter-league play before A.J. Pier-zynski’s two-run single in the second.
Hanson’s ERA rose from 3.38 to 4.17 and he didn’t record a strikeout for the first time in his two-year career. Not including Tuesday’s game and an eight-run blowup May 20 against Cincinnati, Hanson
has a 2.56 ERA in 13 starts.“It was actually pretty
embarrassing,” Hanson said. “I didn’t make my pitches and they let me know. Every fast-ball I threw over the plate, they crushed. Whatever I threw, they hit. It should be interesting watching the video ... but I definitely don’t want to watch right now.”
In other interleague games Tuesday, it was Philadelphia 2, Cleveland 1; Florida 10, Bal-timore 4; Wasington 4, Kansas City 3; St. Louis 9, Toronto 4; the New York Mets 14, Detroit 6; San Diego 2, Tampa Bay 1; Texas 6, Pittsburgh 3; Milwau-kee 7, Minnesota 5; Colorado 2, Boston 1; the New York Yan-kees 9, Arizona 3; Cincinnati 4, Oakland 2; the Los Ange-les Angels 6, the Los Angeles Dodgers 3; and Seattle 2, the Chicago Cubs 0.
In the only game between National League teams, San Francisco edged Houston 2-1.

He was 58. Hospital spokesman Susan Lampert Smith said Armstrong died Sunday at UW Hospital in Madison after battling lung cancer. Armstrong was a shaggy-haired high school dropout when he and his older brother, Karl, and two others parked a stolen van packed with 2,000 pounds of ammonium nitrate and jet fuel next to Sterling Hall and lit the fuse on Aug. 24, 1970.The blast killed student Robert Fassnacht and injured three other people. Armstrong spent years as one of the FBI’s most wanted fugitives and was finally captured in Toronto in 1977. He served seven years in a federal prison.

‘Bachelor’ Pavelka splits with fiancee“The Bachelor” is flying solo
again.Jake Pavelka and Vienna Gi-
raldi, the lovey-dovey couple who met and became engaged in front of millions of viewers on the 14th season of the ABC dating series, have called off their engagement, according to Pavelka’s spokeswoman.
Janice Lee said “Jake and Vien-na have split. They appreciate the respect for their privacy at this time.” No additional details were provided.
After choosing 23-year-old marketing representative Giraldi on “The Bachelor: On the Wings of Love,” 32-year-old pilot Pavel-ka competed on the 10th season of ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars” and was eliminated fifth from the competition.
Newcomer nabs role for ‘Footloose’A new face in Hollywood is stepping into Kev-
in Bacon’s shoes for a remake of “Footloose.”Paramount Pictures announced Tuesday that
Kenny Wormald will take on the role Bacon orig-inated in the 1984 original about a rebellious city youth who busts some moves in his new town, where dancing has been banned.
“High School Musical” heartthrob Zac Efron had planned to star but dropped out of the “Footloose” remake last year.
Wormald’s previous credits include the MTV series “Dance-life.” He will co-star alongside two-time “Dancing With the Stars” champion and country music singer Julianne Hough. The cast also includes Dennis Quaid.
Due in theaters April 1, 2011, “Footloose” will be directed by Craig Brewer (“Hustle & Flow”).
Prince Albert to marry WittstockPrince Albert of Monaco is engaged to marry Charlene
Wittstock, a former Olympic swimmer for South Africa, a union that will give this wealthy Mediterranean principality its first crown princess since American Grace Kelly died in 1982.
The palace announced the engagement of “His Serene High-ness,” 52, and Wittstock, 32, who also worked as a school teach-er before moving to Monaco. The statement Wednesday did not indicate a planned wedding date, but put to rest months of speculation that the two longtime companions would tie the knot. It will be the first marriage of a reigning prince since Holly-wood actress Grace Kelly married Albert’s father, Prince Rainier III, to massive hoopla in 1956. Princess Grace died in a car ac-cident in 1982, casting a pall of tragedy over the family, but re-mains a style icon to this day.

Man surprised to find he was shotTracy Durham remembers hearing the pop. But the gun-
shot wound the Illinois man discovered after a neighbor asked about his limp? That was a surprise.
The 48-year-old Durham told police he thinks he was shot by a friend during a party late Sunday at his home.
Police said Durham recalled calling the friend’s girlfriend ugly. The Peoria man then heard a pop as he took a drink from a bot-tle of whiskey. But police said he felt no pain.
Durham told officers he went to sleep around 3 a.m. Monday and discovered the wound about four hours later.

Man eager for more than tales from wife’s pastDear Abby: My husband,
“Eric,” and I are newlyweds. Several months ago, with a little coaxing, I shared my previous “history” with him. I used graphic terms and went into great detail. Eric found it extremely exciting, and we both benefited from it.
Recently, Eric mentioned how great it would be if I con-tacted one of my past lovers to push the envelope of pas-sion even further. I agreed. My dinner date with the old flame was actually quite fun, with talk of the past. Eric thrilled at my description of the “date.” His suggestion that I go out with my old beau and “enjoy myself” as I had when I was single, however, left me hurt and somewhat uncomfortable.
Eric hinted that a new “story” would take things to another level. He’s completely OK with it, not at all jealous. I said I wasn’t sure, but I’d con-sider it. What do you think? — Mrs. R. in Illinois
Dear Mrs. R.: Some “enve-
lopes” should remain sealed. Think long and hard before embarking on the path toward which your husband is leading you. Is this really the kind of marriage you signed up for? How would you feel about Eric looking up old flames and reporting back to you?
Frankly, I think you’re being pushed in the wrong direc-tion. The result could very well be that you end up feel-ing used and degraded.
Dear Abby: I want to help my son and grandchildren. His current wife moved out, taking their two little ones with her. His other three chil-dren from his first wife still live with him. They are upset about this and can’t under-
stand why they have been abandoned by their stepmom — just as they were by their birth mother. The little boy is taking it the hardest.
How can I help my grand-children understand that this isn’t their fault? — Heartbro-ken Grandma in Texas
Dear Heartbroken: If you and your son’s second wife are on speaking terms, ask her to contact your grandchil-dren and explain that grown-ups sometimes can no longer live together, and they need to remain with their father. She should also tell them that her leaving has absolutely nothing to do with them.
If the children continue to have ongoing abandonment issues, they should be seen by a therapist who can help them put those issues to rest. All you can do is love your grandchildren and be there for them as much as possible.
Dear Abby: I work in the corporate office of a major airline and communicate with
many employees throughout the country. I do a lot of trav-eling, both for business and for pleasure, and when I do, I encounter a lot of our employ-ees who recognize me and say hello as I travel through their stations.
My problem is, I have a difficult time remembering names, and on occasion, rec-ognizing faces. I’m embar-rassed when this happens, and I don’t know what to say. What’s the best way to respond to someone who rec-ognizes me, even though I don’t recognize him or her? — Red-Faced in Washington
Dear Red-Faced: How about this? Smile at the person and say, “Hi! It’s nice to see you.” And let the person who rec-ognized you take it from there.

DEAR ABBY
TWEEN 12 & 20BY DR. ROBERT WALLACE • NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSOCIATION
Dr. Wallace: I’m a 13-year-old girl and live with my mother and 10-year-old brother. My parents have been divorced for over five years and my father lives in another city, but he does call and sees us when he comes to town.
My brother and I still love our dad and are very happy to see him. Dad has remar-ried, but she is not with him when he sees us. In fact, we
have never even seen his new wife. Mom gets upset and an-gry whenever we see Dad. He picks us up at our house and we go out to dinner with him. He always gives us a little spending money and that’s nice, but we would still love him for who he is, not be-cause of the spending money he gives us. Dad also pays child support for us.
Mom keeps advising us not to see Dad because he de-
serted his family for anoth-er woman. We don’t know why this happened, but he is still our father and we want him to stay in our lives. Mom wants us to tell Dad that he can no longer see us, but she said that she wouldn’t stop us from seeing him (once a month). We love our moth-er, too, and we know that we hurt her when we see Dad. Do you think we are doing what is right by seeing Dad? — Jill
and Billy, Valparaiso, Ind.Jill and Billy: As long as
you both like seeing Dad and want him to stay in your lives, continue enjoying his visits. I can understand why Mom is unhappy with dad, but allow-ing you both to visit with him is the right thing to do. You both should thank her for this.

Dear Dr. Gott: I am a 66-year-old female in good health. I have been on an 81-milligram aspirin a day for the last six years. I had a pacemaker inserted in 2007, owing to an electrical problem in my heart. Since then, I have had a problem I attribute to the aspirin, but I’m not sure that’s the cul-prit. I have blood that pools right under the skin on the lower part of my arms. The blood is very dark — almost black — and sometimes a bit raised. It takes from three to four weeks to fade away, and when it does fade, it leaves a brown spot where it was. I don’t have to hit or scrape my arm.
The blood just appears. Right now, I have four large spots on my right arm near the wrist. They are most unsightly, and I have taken to covering them with Band-Aids, but then people ask
me what happened to my arm. The only way to hide them would be to wear a long-sleeved blouse all the time. Since I live in Louisi-ana, where the summers are steamy, I just could not do that.
Is the aspirin causing this? My primary-care doctor said my skin is thin and there is nothing I can do about it. My skin doesn’t seem thin to me. This is upsetting, because I am never without one or more spots on my arms. The right arm seems to get more (I am right-handed), and it seems worse in the warmer months.
By the way, I take flecain-ide 50 milligrams twice a day, Tegretol XR 900 milligrams once a day (to prevent sei-zures due to a blow to my head last fall) and Premarin 0.625 milligrams. Can you please give me some help and hope?
Dear Reader: To begin with, your doctor is correct that your skin is thinner. This occurs because a portion of the protective fatty layer of skin that helps cushion blood vessels against injury is lost as we age.
There is also the possibil-ity that excess sun exposure over the years has broken down the collagen and elas-tin fibers in the deep layers of your skin. One more possibil-ity is a side effect of medica-tion you may be on, including the 81-milligram daily aspirin that acts as an anticoagulant. I should indicate it is common for aspirin, even the 81-mil-
ligram strength, to be pre-scribed to people with abnor-mal cardiac conditions.
The Tegretol XR you are taking has uncommon side effects of severe allergic reactions, including unusual bruising or bleeding. I am not saying this is the cause of your bruising, but adding this to your aspirin regimen might be the cause.
Speak with your physician or cardiologist for his or her interpretation.
Take extra precautions to avoid direct stress to your skin.
Your physician(s) will likely continue you on your current medications because of your medical history. As such, you may find yourself wearing long-sleeved shirts when out in public.

TOMORROW’S HOROSCOPEBY BERNICE BEDE OSOL • NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSOCIATION
Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Something good you hadn’t expected could offset a small but nasty encounter you may experience. In fact, if it weren’t for this small boon, this day could have been ruined for you.Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — If you want the type of results you’re hoping for, weigh and balance each and every is-sue with careful consider-ation. Any movement made in a hasty fashion could be a mistake.Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — When it comes to doing your work, your attitude about the project will make all the differ-ence as to whether or not you consider it to be a nasty job or a fun challenge. You pick. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Unless your appraisals of oth-ers have a ring of sincerity about them, it isn’t likely you’ll win the respect of your peers. If you’re smart, you won’t use sheer flattery in any form.Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — You’re not likely to take objec-tive criticism too well, so be careful how you respond to people who offer advice only to help you. Don’t complicate things for yourself.Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Pay heed to the sugges-tions of trusted allies, because there is every reason to be-lieve that their thinking could help to improve your ideas. Welcome collective thought.Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — For the sake of your bud-get as well as your peace of mind, don’t spend more than you can comfortably afford. Snapping up too many bar-gains could turn into a liabil-ity.Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — If you have a schedule mapped out for yourself, don’t allow an idler to attach him/herself to you. This person will do nothing except be dead weight and slow you down.Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — When it comes to any intuitive perceptions you get concern-ing your family, don’t hesitate to act on them. Your insights could be far more valuable than usual.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Make sure you build your premises on sound reason-ing and not merely on wishful thinking. What you desire can be realized, but your methods need to be based on practical considerations.Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Don’t be so tightfisted that you cut yourself off from all heartfelt considerations. You won’t go wrong if you spend
on what your heart and head tell you is a compassionate matter.Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Beware the naysayers and negative Nellies, as you’re all too likely to subscribe to their outlook. Believe in yourself, not the gloomy prognostica-tions of others, and every-thing will come out to the good.
