dui convictionsfrom court reports
JACKSON (AP) — Reputed Ku Klux Klansman James Ford Seale has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to over-turn his con-viction for kid-napping of two black men who were killed in rural Missis-sippi in 1964.
The Depart-ment of Justice has until July 9 to respond.
In March, the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled the evi-dence against Seale was suf-ficient for the jury conviction in the trial that took place 43 years after the crimes.
Seale, now 74, was convicted in 2007 of two counts of kid-napping and one of conspiracy to commit kidnapping. He was given three life sentences.
Authorities said Henry Heze-kiah Dee and Charles Eddie Moore, both 19, were beaten by Klansmen and thrown, pos-sibly still alive, into a muddy backwater of the Mississippi River.

A Vicksburg man surren-dered to police Tuesday morning in the Friday night stabbing at a class reunion.
At 9:30 a.m., Jer-maine Grays, 37, 250 Bazinsky Road, was charged with the aggra-vated assault of 36-year-old Casey Smith, 2009 Sky Farm Ave., Vicksburg police Sgt. Sandra Williams said. Smith was stabbed in the abdomen during a fight at the Elks Lodge, 916 Walnut St., she said.
Williams said the victim was at River Region Medi-cal Center this morning, although hospital spokesman Allen Karel said the facility had no record of his admit-tance. On Saturday night, a hospital spokesman said Smith was in good condition.
Grays was released from the Warren County Jail on a $2,500 bond.

VPD Officers Russell Dorsey and David Gladney direct traffic around a tree blocking the southbound lanes of Mission 66 Tuesday. Vicksburg received 1.34 inches of rain in about one hour, knocking down a few trees and limbs, bringing some flashflooding on such low-lying streets as Pemberton Square Boulevard and Halls Ferry at Bowmar. About 800 Entergy
Mississippi customers in Warren County were out of power by midnight, with about 300 out around Nailor Road where trees were reported down, Entergy spokesman Don Arnold said. Power was restored by this morning to all areas except Kings Point Island, where crews from West Monroe are assist-ing local utility personnel in restoring power, Arnold said.
DURING THE RAIN
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey are inves-tigating the rural Arkansas campground where a massive pre-dawn flash flood killed 20 people.
The researchers Tuesday were working to determine how high and how fast the water moved when it poured into the Albert Pike Rec-reation Area in southwest Arkansas early Friday. Flood specialist Robert Holmes said it will take scientists a few weeks to calculate the flow rate, based on the informa-tion gathered Tuesday at the campground.
“It’s almost like being a detective, trying to figure out how high the water got,” he said.
Holmes said scientists found the flooding wasn’t consistent
throughout the campground.“We had extremes in some
of the campsites,” he said. “There was probably 5 to 10 feet of water to 15 feet of water, depending on where they were at.”
State police spokesman Bill Sadler said Tuesday that the
20th victim, a young girl whose body was found Monday, had been positively identified, but authorities were still trying to reach her family before releas-ing her name. State police have said it’s unlikely there are any more victims but that they can’t yet be certain.
Arkansas State Police Capt. Mike Fletcher said the prob-lem was authorities were unable to compile a reliable accounting of who was at the campground early Friday, so they want to make sure there are no bodies of people not previously known to have been in the area. Sadler said state police would “maintain a presence and a continuing search-and-recovery effort for the next several days, (though) somewhat scaled back.”
“We want to check vehi-cles that are still in the water, check license numbers and VIN numbers,” Sadler said, to see if they can be tied to victims or belong to someone not previously known to have been at the site.
State police released the name of a 19th victim Tues-day, Wilene Shumake, 67, of DeKalb, Texas. Shumake’s husband and their grandson also died in the flooding.

Murder trial
Inmate: Flowers said he killed 4 in 1996WINONA (AP) — A former
prison neighbor testifies that Curtis Giovanni Flowers told him that he killed four people at a Winona furniture store in 1996.
Odell Hallmon also testi-fied Tuesday that he lied ear-
lier to protect Flowers, who was a friend and gave him cigarettes.
Hallmon’s statements about Flowers have flip-flopped. He once wrote to Flowers’ attor-ney, saying he and his sister gave false information about
Flowers to collect a reward.On Tuesday, Hallmon said he
never conspired with his sister. He said he wants to clear his conscience after being diag-nosed with HIV. Flowers could get the death penalty if his sixth trial ends in a conviction.
Clemmie Flemming points out to prosecutor Doug Evans where she spotted Curtis Gio-
vanni Flowers on the morning of four slay-ings at Tardy Furniture in Winona.
MFB chief Waide sayseminent domaindrive is ‘on schedule’
JACKSON (AP) — It has been several months since the effort to get eminent domain on the 2011 statewide ballot start-ed, and the head of the organi-zation spearheading the move-ment is confident the required number of signatures is within reach.
“We’re doing well,” said Da-vid Waide, president of Mis-sissippi Farm Bureau. “We’ve got some to go, but we’re doing well. We’re on schedule.”
Farm Bureau led the charge in the 2009 legislative session to get legislation passed that would prohibit state govern-ment from using eminent do-main for private economic de-velopment projects. Currently, the state can use eminent do-main for public use like utili-ties construction and for pri-vate economic development projects that have to meet a laundry list of job-creation cri-teria and gain approval from the Legislature.
A bill that would have elim-inated private use sailed through both chambers of the Legislature last year, but was vetoed by Gov. Haley Barbour, who vehemently opposed the measure.
Barbour said then the bill would severely damage Mis-sissippi’s ability to land big eco-nomic development projects like Toyota and Nissan. In the case of each, eminent domain was used to acquire small par-cels of land where the automo-
tive facilities sit.After Barbour vetoed the
measure, there was no small degree of confidence that Bar-bour’s perfect record of sus-tained vetoes would incur its first blemish. The House vot-ed overwhelmingly to override Barbour’s veto. The Senate did not, with many senators who voted for the eminent domain restriction originally changing their votes.
Shortly after Barbour kept his undefeated record in-tact, Waide and Farm Bureau launched their ballot initiative campaign.
To get the issue on the ballot, a minimum of 89,285 certified signatures must be gathered, with at least 17,857 of those coming from each of the five congressional districts as they existed in 2000.
That number of signatures represents 12 percent of the total number of votes cast for governor in the last gubernato-rial general election.Signatures have to be certified by county circuit clerks as belonging to registered voters in Mississip-pi. Waide said his organization has self-imposed a Sept. 1 dead-line to get all the signatures certified and submitted to Sec-retary of State Delbert Hose-mann’s office. The official dead-line for submitting the certified signatures is 90 days before the start of the 2011 legislative ses-sion, which will begin the first week of January.
Mississippi crisis centers shiftingoperations over to nonprofits
JACKSON, Miss. — The state Department of Mental Health is handing over oper-ations of six Mississippi crisis intervention centers to various nonprofit community mental health centers.
Under that change, Bran-don-based Region 8 Mental Health Services would take over the crisis intervention center in Brookhaven with Lincoln County’s decision to shift from one service pro-vider to another.
Life Help in Greenwood has taken over operation of the crisis center in Grenada as a pilot program that started last fall.
Community mental health centers selected to run the crisis centers each will receive $1.5 million from the state next fiscal year.
DMH executive director Ed LeGrand said that the tran-sition was necessitated by state budgets cuts. But, “It’s always been a good idea, in my opinion,” he said.
People seeking help will have the option of voluntarily checking themselves into the
centers. Now, it takes a court commitment.
In another budget-cutting move, LeGrand said the state is closing one 16-bed cot-tage at the state-run Mis-sissippi Adolescent Center in Brookhaven, leaving 32 beds. The center is for chil-dren ages 13 to 21 with intel-lectual and developmental disabilities.
Bill to ban drywallcancellations approved
BATON ROUGE — A bill to ban insurance companies from dropping coverage of homeowners who have found corrosive Chinese drywall in their homes is headed to Gov. Bobby Jindal.
The state Senate gave final passage to the proposal Tuesday.
Rep. Julie Quinn’s bill would prohibit insurers from canceling or refusing to renew policies for homes
because of Chinese-made drywall.
People who rebuilt their south Louisiana homes after Hurricane Katrina claim the imported drywall emits sulfur, methane and other chemical compounds that have ruined homes and appli-ances and harmed resi-dents’ health. The contami-nated wallboard is costly to replace.
Insurance industry lob-byists have argued the ban could raise insurance rates and would violate existing contracts.

WASHINGTON — With unem-ployment still hovering around 10 percent and economic anxieties fueling the “wrong track” senti-ment in opinion polls, you’d think President Obama would be burning through his remaining political cap-ital to get a major jobs bill through Congress.
Instead, Democrats have been captured by the newest conven-tional wisdom: Voters are anx-ious about the deficit. So, instead of a strong push to save teach-ers, firefighters and police officers who are losing their jobs to state and local budget cuts, the White House seems to be settling for a minor jobs bill that won’t amount to a bucket of water in a forbidding desert of joblessness.
It’s no great surprise that Republi-cans — whose only economic strat-egy involves tax cuts — have lined up against the use of additional federal spending to counteract a staggering economic downturn. It’s less clear how the Democrats were taken hostage by an idea that not only defies basic Keynesian eco-nomics but also disregards the cur-rent political winds. Tea partiers
notwithstanding, most Americans aren’t preoccupied with the federal deficit.
According to a new Pew Research poll, 23 percent cited the federal budget deficit as their top concern. By contrast, a substantial 41 per-cent put jobs at the top of the list.
That’s no surprise, given a still-rocky recovery that has forced workers to live off unemployment checks and piece together part-time jobs. So why is Congress suddenly worried about federal spending rather than job creation? Why did Congress get fiscal religion after eight years of a profligate presi-dency that left the nation swim-ming in red ink?
Elected leaders are understand-ably nervous after the banking col-lapse of 2008 — especially since they didn’t see it coming. (Few economists saw it coming, either.) With Europe struggling to con-tain a debt crisis that started in Greece and threatens to spread, no responsible U.S. politician wants to be accused of ignoring impending fiscal doom here.
But any responsible U.S. politi-cian would read the fine print in the warnings: U.S. budget deficits will pose a critical problem for the economy about 10 years from now, as more baby boomers retire and entitlement spending soars. Should the White House work on a plan
to balance the books before then? Absolutely.
One of the best ways to do that is to put taxpayers back to work. An estimated 20 percent or so of the current federal deficit, according to budget experts at the Center for American Progress, was brought on by the recession; when taxpay-ers lose their jobs and businesses go bankrupt, they don’t pay taxes. A recovery would boost the federal treasury.
An estimated 40 percent of the current deficit can be attributed to the policies of George W. Bush, who frittered away President Clinton’s budget surplus of more than $230 billion on tax cuts for the wealthy, two unfunded wars, and a massive prescription drug program for the elderly. It’s rich to hear GOP lead-ers such as House Minority Leader John Boehner — who participated in the tax-cutting and deficit-spend-ing orgy of the Bush years — blame the swelling tide of red ink on Obama.
Emory University psychology professor Drew Westen, an expert in political communications and a Democratic consultant, blames
Obama for repeatedly failing to lay the blame for massive deficits at Bush’s doorstep, starting with his inaugural address.
“FDR never missed a chance to say this is Hoover’s Depression,” Westen said, adding that the presi-dent should have prepared the country for “four to six years of deficit spending to get us out of the mess my predecessor left.”
Nor did the president do a good job explaining his first stimulus bill, which has been widely dispar-aged by Republicans and dismissed as ineffective, or worse, by taxpay-ers. In fact, mainstream economists credit the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act with creating and saving as many as 2.5 million jobs. That’s not nearly enough — but it’s a lot better than none.
It’s in the political interests of Democrats to pass a robust jobs bill before the summer is over. It’s also the right thing to do for the economy.

OilObama should not rule out nuking well
Find a way to plug the hole in a way that does less harm than good. That should be the only concern for those working to end the nightmare in the Gulf of Mexico, and the nuclear option should not be summarily dis-missed as something too radical and frightening to consider.
President Barack Obama has, for whatever reason, taken responsibility for the oil crisis and has vowed to solve it. It’s nice of him, but there isn’t much he can do beyond continuing to show a disappointing lack of grace under pressure. The oil industry is poorly prepared for a disaster of this weight and the federal government is even less able and equipped to handle it. If good can come from this — and not much can — it may be a lesson that Obama is indeed a mortal and government can’t always save the day.
What is government, after all? It is a crude instrument of force that should be viewed as the last course of resolve against crisis, not the first. A founder of our government, President George Washington, told us this in 1797: “Government is not reason. It is not eloquence. Government is
force; like fire it is a dangerous servant — and a fearful master.”
The oil industry will solve this problem if it can be solved with mud and concrete, pumped through relief wells near the base of the well. Federal agencies will mostly stand by talking and watching, as they are not deep-sea drillers.
The nuclear option, by contrast, belongs to Obama and the federal government he oversees. They are the purveyors of fire and force.
With every failed effort to stop the leak, talk of the nuclear option grows louder. Russia’s most popular newspaper, Komso-moloskaya Pravda, recommended the United States try using a nuclear device to seal the well. It’s how the former Soviet Union stopped five gas well leaks in the 1970s. Matt Simmons, a Houston-based energy expert and investor, told Bloomberg Business News recently the nuclear option is “probably the only thing we can do.” CNN reporter John Roberts, after interviewing oil experts and geologists, said, “Drill a hole, drop a nuke in and seal up the well.”
The New York Times looked
into the option and quoted fed-eral officials ruling it out. The Times report said a nuke would be risky and may conflict with arms treaties and Obama’s push for nuclear disarmament.
To see how a nuclear detonation might help, watch a Soviet propa-ganda video that shows a nuclear detonation sealing a blazing gas well leak. A graphic shows how the shock wave of a blast forced rock below the earth’s surface outward from the bomb to vio-lently crush a well closed. Sci-entists who have examined the option say heat from a nuclear device could turn all rock in the vicinity of the blast into a mas-sive glass barrier that would pro-vide permanent protection from the oil below.
The nuclear option should be considered only if all less-fright-ening options fail or provide no hope. But it should not be ruled out because of public relations concerns and political fallout. The crisis must be solved. If nothing else works, the nuclear option may be the non eloquent fire and force only government can give. It may be government’s only potential role in plugging the hole.

Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac to delistshares from New York Stock Exchange
NEW YORK (AP) — Gov-ernment-sponsored mortgage purchasers Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac plan to delist their shares from the New York Stock Exchange.
The companies’ regulator, the Federal Housing Finance Agency, said today that it expects Fannie Mae and Fred-die Mac shares to trade on the Over-the-Counter Bulle-tin Board, an electronic quo-tation service.
The move to delist the
shares isn’t a surprise. The crash in the housing market has pounded Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac with heavy losses on mortgage debt since 2007. Fannie shares have been below the $1 average price level for 30 trading days. NYSE
rules require a company to take action to boost its shares or delist.
Fannie Mae shares closed Tuesday at 92 cents, while Freddie Mac shares closed at $1.22.
The move to delist the shares isn’t a surprise. The crash in the housing market has pounded Fannie Mae and
Freddie Mac with heavy losses on mortgage debt since 2007.
House and Senate negotia-tors assembling a giant finan-cial regulation bill diluted a measure Tuesday that would have upended how Wall Street assesses risk.
Lawmakers agreed to remove a proposal that would have ended the ability of financial
institutions to choose the firms that rate the risk of their invest-ment products.
Instead, negotiators altered the bill to require that the Secu-rities and Exchange Commis-sion, after a two-year study, set up a system for assigning credit rating agencies in a way that avoids conflicts of interest
with issuers or underwriters of financial products.
The new proposal changes a provision approved 64-35 in the Senate last month that would have required an independent board to assign ratings firms to assess the risks of new finan-cial products.

The threat of an active hurricane season coinciding with the nation’s worst oil spill on record won’t bring any “black rain,” but could become a problem where storm surge is con-cerned, the National Weather Ser-vice’s chief local meteorologist said Tuesday.
In May, the weather service pre-dicted 14 to 23 named storms for 2010, with three to seven major hurricanes — all based on warmer sea surface temperatures in the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean and a gener-ally neutral pattern between El Nino and La Nina climate patterns.
Bill Frederick, head meteorologist for the NWS office in Vicksburg and liaison between the weather service and the Corps of Engineers’ Missis-sippi Valley Division, told the Vicks-burg Kiwanis Club a hurricane in the
Gulf of Mexico would churn and probably dilute the mil-lions of gallons
of crude left from remnants of the Deepwater Hori-zon oil rig, then
deliver it to shore with the surge.
“The only problem is if it brings contaminated oil in shore,” Freder-ick said. “It should be mixed up by the hurricane itself. There will be no ‘black rain’ as people are talking about because a hurricane is massive. An oil spill is small in comparison.”
Hurricane Ida was the strongest storm to strike the U.S. during the 2009 Atlantic hurricane season, but reached just Category 2 wind speeds at its peak. This season, less wind shear from westerly steering currents from last year’s El Nino is primed to
create “generally ideal conditions” for tropical storm and hurricane develop-ment, Frederick said.
“We’re in neutral right now, but expect it to shift to La Nina here by August. We’ll see,” Frederick said. “Last year, we didn’t have a lot of activ-ity — we were in El Nino. Everything was out in the Atlantic. This year, we’re probably going to get Carib-bean and Gulf of Mexico storms.”
In general, storms that form during periods of neutrality between the two patterns have made landfall along the U.S. Gulf Coast — the most powerful examples being Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005 and Andrew in 1992. El Nino, present for much of 2009, cre-ates wetter but cooler winters in the South and into Mexico but has pushed storms east of Mississippi and Loui-siana. La Nina patterns cause more activity in the Atlantic basin, of which the Gulf States are a part, but trends show southerly tracks into Mexico and
Central America during those years, notably Hurricane Gilbert in 1988 and Hurricane Mitch in 1998. Both rank in
the top 10 for the lowest atmospheric pressure ever recorded.

Corps meteorologist: Don’t expect ‘black rain’ from Gulf Coast2010 hurricane names
ORANGE BEACH, Ala. (AP) — Restaurant owner Regina Shipp was near des-peration before President Barack Obama’s address on the Gulf oil crisis. The tourists are gone, empty tables fill her dockside dining room, and her business has lost $57,000 after just a few weeks of crude and tar balls smearing the coast.
Afterward, she sounded more hopeful, but not much. At this point, it’s going to take much more than an Oval Office talk to make life better on the oil-stained coast.
“He said he’s going to make BP pay. Can he? Can he?” said Shipp, standing amid a sea of empty tables at Shipp’s Har-bour Grill, which she owns with her husband, chef Matt Shipp.
Obama did vow to “make BP pay” and accused the oil giant of “recklessness” in his first address to the nation from the Oval Office Tuesday night, eight weeks to the day after the catastrophic oil spill began destroying the Gulf Coast way of life. It followed a two-day
trip to the Gulf Coast where he met with officials and resi-dents about the oil gushing from the broken wellhead, millions of gallons a day.
Their lives turned upside down by the nation’s worst oil spill, Gulf Coast residents paused to watch the speech with a mix of fear and anger over both the crude spewing into the ocean and a response
that seems almost comical at times.
Sipping a glass of wine at his home in Empire, La., Mitch Jurisich decided to watch Obama’s address after wavering on whether to even tune in. The third-generation oyster fisherman has been out of work since the Louisiana oyster beds were shut down two weeks ago.
Afterward, Jurisich said he fears a moratorium on off-shore drilling would kill what’s left of the economy in coastal Louisiana. And the inaction Obama said he wouldn’t tol-erate isn’t really the problem, he said.
But, Jurisich said, Obama fooled him.
“’Cause he didn’t give the same old speech. I like what
he said about putting aside the money. But however much it is it won’t be enough,” he said. “They should freeze all BP’s assets, but it still might not be enough.”
Oil prices hovered near $77 a barrel today in Asia as a rally fueled by a stock market surge and a stronger euro pauses.
Benchmark crude for July delivery was down 30 cents
to $76.64 a barrel at late after-noon Singapore time in elec-tronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract rose $1.82 to settle at $76.94 Tuesday.
Gulf Coast business owners looking for more than talk from Obama

HATTIESBURG (AP) — Researchers at the Uni-versity of Southern Mis-sissippi said the Gulf of Mexico oil spill will cost the coastal counties nearly $120 million.
The research report by David Butler and Edward Sayre was released Monday.
It projects a 5 percent revenue loss from May-August 2010, when com-pared to the same period in 2009.
Gulf welcomes pledge to restore wetlandsNEW ORLEANS (AP) —
After 50 years of watching wetlands created by the fer-tile Mississippi River turn into open water, Louisiana resi-dents finally got what they’d long awaited: A U.S. president saying he’ll fight to save what little is left along their erod-ing coast.
Though details were vague, President Barack Obama’s pledge to restore the Gulf Coast’s degraded coast line has multibillion-dollar impli-cations for the region’s culture and economy and could pre-serve wildlife endangered by the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
In an Oval Office address Tuesday night, Obama said he was committed to making sure southern Louisiana, which is hemorrhaging a football field of marshland every 38 min-utes, and other coastline are saved.
Obama appointed Ray Mabus, the secretary of the Navy and a former Mississippi governor, to lead the effort to develop a long-term Gulf Coast restoration plan. Obama said he wanted BP to “pay for the impact this spill has had on the region.”
Coastal advocates have long said the human fabric and eco-nomic future of the Gulf Coast are at risk unless more aggres-sive steps are taken to inject freshwater sediment into Lou-isiana’s estuaries. About 2,300 square miles of marshland have been lost from the state’s coastline since the 1930s.
“Finally, we have someone at the highest level recogniz-ing the significance of this issue and the significance of the pending tragedy, and just that is worth its weight in gold,” said R. King Milling, a banker who chairs Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal’s coastal commission.
The Mississippi River built all of south Louisiana, includ-ing the fragile area on which the city of New Orleans sits, as
it moved silt from the nation’s heartland to the coast, creat-ing land. But the river has been channeled since the 1930s with massive flood control struc-tures and levees, cutting off its natural flow tendencies.
Without a new feed of nutri-ents and fresh water, natural erosion processes that are worsened by powerful hur-ricanes have steadily worn down the coast from Atchafa-laya Bay to New Orleans. Deli-cate wildlife estuaries that pro-vided a buffer and kept the full force of hurricane storm surge ramming urban areas have all but vanished in some places.
“For us coastal Louisiana is on life support, and it will take more than a cleanup for it to survive,” said Val Marmil-lion, a founder of the Ameri-ca’s WETLAND campaign, an initiative to persuade the U.S. government to use more off-shore drilling royalty taxes to shore up the coast.
Experts believe the best way to rebuild the coast is to redi-rect the Mississippi River’s flow so that the river could mimic the way it once built up estuaries before the levees were erected.

A list of hurricane names has been generated by the National Hurricane Center since 1953.At first, only female names were used, but that changed in 1979. The lists contain names from A to W, excluding the letters Q and U.Six lists rotate, changing only when a hurricane is so devastating that the name is retired. The 2010 list is the same as the 2004 one, though four names were re-tired — Charley was replaced by Colin; Frances was replaced by Fiona; Ivan was replaced by Igor; and Jeanne was replaced by Julia.

Biker killedin Maineshootoutwith ATF
OLD ORCHARD BEACH, Maine (AP) — Federal agents attempting to arrest two members of the Outlaws motorcycle gang as part of a seven-state sweep shot and killed one of them in an early morning gunfight Tuesday.
More than two dozen Out-laws members across the country were charged Tues-day in Virginia with par-ticipating in a criminal enterprise.
A SWAT team from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives was fired upon at about 6 a.m. while attempting to arrest Thomas “Tomcat” Mayne, 59, the regional treasurer for the Outlaws, along with Kenneth Chretian, according to ATF spokesman Michael Campbell.
Mayne was killed. Two women were also in the house, but nobody else was injured in the shootout, according to the attorney general’s office.
The SWAT team was used because the ATF viewed the suspects as being part of a “violent criminal enterprise,” said Glenn N. Anderson, ATF special agent in charge of the Boston office. He said the agents were fired at when they arrived.
Authorities found a shot-gun and a handgun inside the house.
Mayne was one of 27 mem-bers and associates of the American Outlaw Associa-tion motorcycle gang charged in the indictment unsealed Tuesday in Richmond, Va. A federal grand jury charged many of the defendants with racketeering for participat-ing in a criminal enterprise involved in attempted murder, kidnapping, extortion, illegal gambling and drug dealing. Defendants are from Wiscon-sin, Maine, Montana, North Carolina, Tennessee, South Carolina and Virginia.

Great Gifts For Dad!
Q: I have a friend whose father is in hospice care. They have some money left but they do own property worth more than a million dollars. She
doesn’t want to sell this build-ing and would like to use Medi-care to help pay for his med-
ical bills. Is there any way that they can shelter this build-ing from the government so it doesn’t get sold? — T.R., Wisconsin
A: Shouldn’t they sell the building to help pay for his medical care? What you’re telling me is that we have a couple who are millionaires who are looking to have the government, through it’s pov-erty programs, pay their bills. That just isn’t right.

Dems, plagued by deficit worries, trim jobless billWASHINGTON (AP) — Vir-
tually certain of losing a show-down vote in the Senate, Dem-ocrats frustrated in their quest to extend jobless benefits and help for doctors facing Medi-care payment cuts are scaling back a catchall tax and spend-ing bill.
Anxiety over record budget deficits is fueling the moves, which include rolling back last year’s $25 a week increase in unemployment checks and giving doctors just a short reprieve from scheduled cuts in their Medicare payments.
First, however, comes a key
vote set for this morning on a sweeping measure containing many provisions long over-due for completion by Con-gress, including the renewal of jobless benefits and dozens of popular but expired tax breaks for individuals and businesses.
It’ll take at least two Repub-
licans to clear a supermajority hurdle requiring 60 votes in the 100-member Senate since the pending version violates budget rules by adding $80 billion to the deficit over the upcoming decade.
Those votes are lacking, Democrats admit, even though an earlier version passed the
Senate fairly easily just three months ago. Now, with voter anger over deficits rising, GOP support has evaporated, which means Democrats will have to pull out the shears and cut the measure back to have any hope of passing it with the handful of Republican votes that will be needed.
As a result, people on unem-ployment are likely to see their benefits cut by $25 a week. Doctors are likely to win only a seven-month reprieve from a 21 percent cut in their Medi-care payments that’s set to take effect Friday.

NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks fell today after home construc-tion and applications for build-ing permits slumped in May following the end of a home-buyer tax credit.
The Dow Jones industrial
average fell about 40 points in morning trading. The drop comes a day after the Dow rose 214 points to its high-est close in nearly a month. Stocks had risen three of the past four days.
In midmorning trading, the Dow fell 35.37, or 0.3 percent, to 10,369.40. On Tuesday, the Dow ended above its average close of the past 200 days for the first time since May 19. Finishing above that level is
seen as a sign of strength.The broader Standard &
Poor’s 500 index fell 3.62, or 0.3 percent, to 1,111.61, and the Nasdaq composite index fell 7.56, or 0.3 percent, to 2,298.32.

streets is just one of four to be made in the water main replacement, but Rainer said the other three will not require any stoppage in flow from the water plant.
As crews attempt to con-nect the new line at Washing-ton and Main streets again, water to the city’s custom-ers will briefly come from a 1.5 million-gallon reserve
supply held in the city’s four water towers. If the job takes more than about four hours, a boil water notice may have to be issued. If necessary, boil water notices will be announced via The Vicks-burg Post, www.vicksburg-post.com, local cable Chan-nel 23 and Vicksburg radio stations.

was the best doctor he has had.
“I don’t know which way to go as far as a doctor,” said Donerson. “I’m going to miss him.”
Michael Ruffin, vice presi-dent of Physician Practices, agreed and added McMillin’s patients enjoy his easy-going demeanor.
“Along with some of the other ones who have been here, he’s given us a lot of sta-bility,” said Ruffin. “People in the community know where this place is, and they know that Dr. McMillin is here. He’s seen generations of patients.”
Ruffin said he enjoyed working with the soon-to-be retiree but hopes McMillin
has many years to indulge all of his passions and travel.
“He’s very into his heritage and his past,” said Ruffin.
McMillin, a Little Rock, Ark., native, said he plans to remain in Vicksburg and feed his love of history by study-ing the Civil War and the Confederacy.
“Some of my relatives were Confederate veterans,” said McMillin. “I’ve never really studied that very well. I want to study it now.”
He plans to play his part in history by renovating a Vicksburg antebellum home he shares with his wife, a retired librarian at Water-ways Experiment Station. He can take care of “Ameri-
can history, since it was here since before the siege of Vicksburg,” he said.
Decades ago, McMillin’s aunt Lorene McMillin Mobley, who lived in Vicks-burg throughout his child-hood and college years, “recruited” him to come to town after he finished his col-lege studies. He often visited her as a child.
He completed his medical residency at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in 1971.
“I was very pleased that she (Mobley) and her husband, who were from Vicksburg, came all the way to Little Rock for my graduation,” said McMillin.
He did not move south until the summer of 1975, a year after he completed a family practice degree at the Uni-versity of Minnesota, and Dr. James Allison called to offer him a position at the Vicks-burg Clinic.
In the year between, McMillin moved to Scotland with his wife — a “Yankee girl” his aunt warned him not to marry but learned to love — to work in the National Health Service as an exten-sion of his education, he said.
“I wanted to learn about Scotland because that’s where my ancestors came from,” said McMillin. “We signed a contract to come back here and start on July
1.”In 2008, he saw River Region
close the North Frontage Road clinic and move to The Street Clinic on Grove Street.
The father of Ashley McMillin Moomaw, 30, a nutritiounist in Chattanooga; David McMillin 29, an archi-tect in California; and Ste-phen McMillin, 27, a paralegal in Vicksburg, said he plans to visit his children throughout his retirement.
“They were all born at the Vicksburg hospital, and Dr. Allison delivered them,” said McMillin.
invited and encouraged to bring other officials; BP chief executive Tony Hayward, the beleaguered face of the BP response, is expected to attend, too.
Obama also has announced that former Mississippi Gov. Ray Mabus, the secretary of the Navy, will develop a long-term Gulf Coast Restora-tion Plan — to be funded by BP — in concert with local communities.
For the president, the tough diplomacy with a few offi-cials behind closed doors is a bookend to his attempt to reach millions at once. Using a delivery in which even the harshest words were uttered in subdued tones, Obama did not offer much in the way of new ideas or details in his speech to the nation
Tuesday night. Instead, he mainly recapped the govern-ment’s efforts, insisted once again that BP will be held to account and tried to tap the resilience of a nation in promising that “something better awaits.”
Now, at the White House, Obama said he will tell the chairman of the British-based oil company that it must set aside “whatever resources are required” to compensate the Gulf Coast people whose lives have been upended because of what he called BP’s recklessness.
What’s more, Obama said this new damages fund, used to pay claims to workers and business owners, won’t be run by BP. He said an inde-pendent third party will be in charge to ensure people are
paid in a fair and timely way.The cost of such a fund
would be enormous. The White House insists it has the legal authority to make it happen.
Still, administration offi-cials also acknowledge a negotiation is at play here, and key issues remain unsolved.
Among them: Who will oversee the escrow fund, who will make that decision, how large will the fund be and whether BP will pay the sala-ries of oil workers idled by a six-month moratorium on new deep-water oil drilling.
BP declined to offer details about what proposals it would bring to the meeting or any reaction to Obama’s biting words.
The company said in a
statement that it shares Obama’s goal of “shutting off the well as quickly as pos-sible, cleaning up the oil and mitigating the impact on the people and environment of the Gulf Coast. ”
The president expects to be able to announce a deal quickly to an impatient nation. He planned a Rose Garden statement after the meeting. He was to attend a portion of the BP session while his aides handle the rest.
Obama’s forceful tone about BP’s behavior shows how far matters have dete-riorated. The White House once had described BP as an essential partner in plug-ging the crude oil spewing from the broken well beneath nearly a mile of water. Now
Obama says BP has threat-ened to destroy a whole way of life.
Meanwhile, the frantic effort to stop the leak and contain the worst environ-mental disaster in U.S. his-tory plods on. So does the venting and search for answers on Capitol Hill, with three more congressional hearings set for today.
The president is straddling a line. He must show he is a leader not a shouter, yet also one who can relate and respond to the intense emo-tion of this catastrophe. And opinion polls show public confidence is slipping every day.

Passionate bin Laden hunter: I’m on a mission from GodISLAMABAD (AP) — An
American construction worker detained in Pakistan while on a solo mission to kill Osama bin Laden claimed today that he was obeying an order from God to avenge the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, said Pakistani security officials.
Gary Brooks Faulkner said God revealed the order in one of his dreams, prompt-ing him to travel to Pakistan in search of al-Qaida’s leader, said two security officials, one of whom is part of a team of investigators questioning the American.
They spoke on condition
of anonym-ity because they were not authorized to talk to the media.
Catching bin Laden was 50-year-old Faulkner’s
passion, his brother Scott Faulkner said. A devout Christian with a prison record, Faulkner has been to Pakistan at least six times, learned some of the local lan-guage, and even grew a long beard to blend in, relatives and acquaintances said.
“Our military has not been able to track Osama down yet. It’s been 10 years,” Scott Faulkner told reporters in Denver. “It’s easier as a civil-ian, dressed in the local dress, to infiltrate the inside, the local people, gain their con-fidence and get information and intel that you couldn’t get as an American soldier, Navy SEAL, whoever you might be.”
Gary Faulkner, of Gree-ley, Colo., arrived June 3 in the town of Bumburate. He was assigned a police guard, as is common for foreigners visiting remote parts of Paki-
stan. When he checked out of a hotel without informing the guard, officers began looking for him, senior police official Mumtaz Ahmad Khan said.
Faulkner was found late Sunday in a forest.
“We initially laughed when he told us that he wanted to kill Osama bin Laden,” Khan said. But when officers found weapons, including a 40-inch sword and a pistol as well as night-vision equipment, “our suspicion grew.”
He said Faulkner was trying to cross into the nearby Afghan region of Nuristan, one of several rumored hiding
places for bin Laden along the Afghan-Pakistan border.
Faulkner’s sister, Deanna M. Faulkner of Grand Junction, Colo., said her brother suffers from kidney disease that has left him with only 9 percent kidney function. “I’m worried about him. I’m worried that in Pakistan they won’t give him his dialysis and if he doesn’t get it, he’s in serious trouble,” she said.
A Pakistani doctor has exam-ined Faulkner and determined his current condition is not life-threatening, the Pakistani security officials said today.
U.S. Embassy spokesman
Rick Snelsire said American officials were seeking con-sular access to a U.S. citizen in Pakistani custody and that once given, they could help arrange for medical care.
Gary Faulkner retained vivid memories of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and was serious but rational about his search, his brother Scott said. When Scott Faulkner dropped his brother off at Denver’s air-port May 30, the two discussed the possibility Faulkner would not return alive.
“He’s as normal as you and I,” Scott Faulkner said. “He’s just very passionate.”
New federal rules would targetrecruitment at for-profit collegesBy The Associated Press
Colleges would no longer be allowed to pay recruiters for students or engage in aggres-sive or misleading recruit-ment under proposed new fed-eral regulations that target the practices of for-profit colleges.
The proposed new Depart-ment of Education rules were announced today. They apply to all colleges but are of partic-ular interest to the for-profit world, where some institu-tions have been accused of misleading students about
the cost and value of their programs.
“This is about accountability and protecting students,” said Education Secretary Arne Duncan, in a statement.
The “notice of proposed rulemaking” is set to be pub-lished in the Federal Register on Friday and will be open to public comment until Aug. 2. Final rules are scheduled to be announced in November and would take effect in July 2011.
Under the proposed new rules, colleges would be required to do the following:
• Give prospective students their graduation and job place-ment rates.
• Supply data to the federal government that would allow officials to determine student debt levels and incomes after they graduate.
• Make sure only students with valid high school diplo-mas are enrolled.
• Ensure students are making satisfactory academic progress.
The new rules would strengthen the government’s ability to take action against deceptive marketing.
Firing squadexecutionset to go on
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A federal judge has denied a request from a Utah death row inmate seeking to postpone his execution while he pur-sues a civil rights lawsuit.
U.S. District Court Chief Judge Tena Campbell rejected Ronnie Lee Gardner’s petition for a stay of execution Tues-day evening.
Gardner is set to be executed by firing squad Friday. He is scrambling to block his execution after losing an appeal at the Utah
Supreme Court and failing to persuade the state parole board to grant him clemency.
Gardner’s lawyers are ramp-ing up federal civil rights law-suit filed last week against the Utah Board of Pardons and Parole. The parole board Monday rejected Gardner’s effort to get his death sen-tence reduced to life in prison without parole.
Gardner was convicted of capital murder and sentenced to death in 1985 for the fatal courthouse shooting of attor-ney Michael Burdell.
Cop killer putto death in Texas
HUNTSVILLE, Texas (AP) — A former drug dealer con-victed of killing an Austin police officer during a traf-fic stop 32 years ago was exe-cuted Tuesday evening.
David Lee Powell, 59, is the 13th person put to death this year in Texas. He was the lon-gest-serving inmate to be exe-cuted since the state began carrying out executions again in 1982 and one of the longest imprisoned in the nation to die.
Powell’s attorneys had argued his exemplary behav-ior on death row over three decades showed jurors were wrong when they decided he would be a continuing danger and should die, but the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear his appeal Tuesday.
Powell shot Ralph Ablanedo, 26, 10 times with an assault rifle after the officer pulled over Powell’s girlfriend’s car in May 1978.

SIDELINESChipper Jonesponders retirement
ATLANTA (AP) — One mighty swing brought it all back for Chipper Jones. The feeling of connecting with a pitch on the sweet spot of his bat. The sight of the ball soaring into the seats 400 feet away.
Those sort of mo-ments have become far too rare for a player who once dominated the Atlanta Braves’ line-up.
He believes it might be time to walk away.
Struggling through an-other disappointing sea-son, the third baseman met with team officials Tuesday to discuss his fu-ture.
“It’s obvious that it’s something I’ve been think-ing about,” Jones said after arriving at Turner Field in his blue pickup for a game against the Tampa Bay Rays. “I need to go through the proper channels. Once those have all been taken care of, everybody’s ques-tions will be answered.”
Jones declined to com-ment directly on whether he’ll retire at the end of the season, but he sure sound-ed as though he’s made up his mind and merely needs to work out a settlement with the team over the $28 million in guaranteed money he’s owed for the 2011 and 2012 seasons.
Then again, his perfor-mance against the Rays — even for only one night — surely made him wonder if he can hang around a little longer.

Rays drop Kawakami to 0-9By The Associated Press
ATLANTA — David Price kept getting into trouble. No problem.
Carl Crawford fell face-first on the wet grass while rounding third. That worked out just fine, too.
Price became the AL’s first 10-game winner, Evan Longo-ria hit a two-run homer and Crawford picked himself up to lead the Tampa Bay Rays to a 10-4 victory Tues-day night over the Atlanta Braves, who learned that longtime star Chipper Jones is considering retirement.
After a rain delay of nearly 21⁄2 hours at the start, a throwing error led to three unearned runs in a four-run first that sent Kenshin Kawakami (0-9) to another loss. He became the first starting pitcher in Braves franchise history to begin
a season with nine straight defeats.
Price (10-2) was hardly dominating, lasting only five innings and throwing 113 pitches. But he got out of numerous jams, including striking out Brooks Conrad with two runners aboard on his final pitch of the night.
“I’ve had a rough stretch,” he said. “I’m throwing the ball well. It’s just not going where I want it to go.”
The Braves had plenty of chances to bounce back after falling behind in a game that started late because of storms and didn’t end until 1 a.m. But they failed to take advantage of a bases-loaded, no-outs situation in the second and wound up leav-ing 14 runners on base — at least one in every inning but the ninth.
Tampa Bay stayed tied for first with the New York Yan-kees, who beat Philadelphia 8-3. The Braves’ lead in the NL East fell to just a half-game over the other New York team as the Mets beat Cleveland 7-6.
The Rays put the game out of reach with two runs in the sixth — including Crawford scoring even with his tumble between third and home — and three more in the sev-enth off Chris Resop, who had a rough debut with the Braves after being called up from Triple-A earlier in the day.
After falling, the speedy Crawford hopped right up and managed to slide around catcher Brian McCann’s attempted tag, after the throw from left fielder Melky Cabrera was up the third-base line.
Glover aims foranother U.S. OpenBy The Associated Press
PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — A crowd of more than 100 reporters was still pouring out of the room after wrapping up an interview with Phil Mick-elson when Lucas Glover replaced Mickelson behind the mike.
If it bothered the defend-ing champion that there were only 17 scribes left when he took his first question, he didn’t show it.
Life, Glover says, has not changed much since he put himself in an exclu-sive club last June — a major-championship winner after slogging through five rainy days at Bethpage to take the U.S. Open.
Winning a big one may have spruced up the 30-year-old South Carolin-ian’s resumé, but it didn’t much change his outlook, or the amount of attention he gets.
“Life got a little busier, phone rang a little bit more,” Glover said. “I signed a few more auto-graphs, but nothing too crazy. And that’s probably the way I would want it and would like it to stay.”
Glover hadn’t finished among the top 20 in money winners before his signature victory last year. The win erased some of the issues that follow most young jour-neymen — keeping the tour card, getting invited to majors — but it did nothing to put him in the company of Mickelson, Tiger Woods, Adam Scott or any of the other PGA Tour players who double as sports celebrities.
Glover was steady over five days of rain and muck at Bethpage and beat out Mickelson and David Duval last year.
Lakers force a Game 7By The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — The trophy, the champagne, the hats, the T-shirts. Even Bill Russell and Kevin McHale. Everything was in place at Staples Center for the Boston Celtics to wrap up their 18th NBA championship.
And then the Lakers shoved everything back in its boxes and sent all the Celtics in sight back to their hotels for two more days.
With an emphatic, his-toric blowout win in Game 6 Tuesday night, Los Ange-les earned the right to host the grand finale to both the NBA season and this scintillating chapter in the league’s most glamorous rivalry.
Kobe Bryant scored 26 points, Pau Gasol added 17 points and 13 rebounds, and the Lakers held Boston to the second lowest-scoring performance in NBA finals history in an 89-67 victory, setting up a winner-take-all Game 7 on Thursday.
Faced with elimination for the first time in this postseason, the defend-ing champion Lakers didn’t flinch. Just look at Bryant, who still hasn’t cracked a smile during the quest for his fifth title — the same number as Magic Johnson, and one behind Michael Jordan.
“We’re used to being in must-win situations,” Bryant said. “The way
we look at it, (Game 7) is just a game we’ve got to win. ... I don’t mean to be a buzzkill.”
He left that to the Celt-ics, who fell all over them-selves after falling behind by 22 points in the first half. Boston memorably elimi-nated the Lakers in the sixth game of the 2008 finals
with a 39-point blowout — but this time around, the Celtics lost their series lead and their starting center in one disastrous Game 6.
“We didn’t get in any rhythm early, and it affects our chemistry,” said Ray Allen, who scored 19 points. “We each tried to make the home run play early. As a starting unit, we take responsibility. We have to do a better job next game.”
Ron Artest added 15 points for the Lakers, who got their backs off the wall with a dazzling first half and a strong finish built
around defense that held Boston to 33 percent shoot-ing. Only Utah’s infamous 54-point performance against Chicago in 1998 was worse.
Bryant grabbed 11 rebounds, and Gasol led the Lakers with nine assists in a remarkable bounce-back game for Los Angeles, which dominated from the opening minutes by vacu-uming up rebounds — 13 more than Boston — and playing relentless defense.
“I was very happy,” Bryant said after the defending champions stretched the finals to the limit for the first time since 2005. “We did a great job defensively. ”
These rivals have played a Game 7 four times in their 11 previous finals meetings, with Boston winning all four. But it hasn’t happened since 1984 — and it hasn’t happened to Bryant, who looks determined to stake a spot among the NBA’s high-est circle of greats.
But while Bryant was a one-man band for much of the Lakers’ three-game stay in Boston, Los Angeles was a symphony in Game 6. Gasol was a constant low-post presence and play-maker after disappearing for long stretches of the series.
“We want to carry every-thing we did tonight to (Game 7), and then I think we’ll be in a very good place to win,” Gasol said.

1998 — The Detroit Red Wings become the first team to win con-secutive Stanley Cups since Pitts-burgh in 1992, completing a sweep of Washington 4-1, behind two goals by Doug Brown. It’s the fourth straight NHL finals sweep, a first in major pro sports history.
1999 — Maurice Greene smashes the 100-meter world record at 9.79 seconds, breaking the previous mark of 9.84 set by Donovan Bailey at the 1996 Olympics.
2008 — Tiger Woods wins the U.S. Open in a 19-hole playoff over Rocco Mediate, his 14th career major. One shot behind after a collapse no one saw coming, Woods birdies the 18th hole to force sudden death at Torrey Pines. Mediate misses a par putt and Woods only needed a two-putt par to win the U.S. Open for the third time.

basEbaLLThree former Bulldogssign MLB contracts
Three Mississippi State baseball players signed contracts with Major League clubs on Tuesday.
Connor Powers, taken by San Diego in the 21st round of the draft, has been assigned to the Padres’ Northwest League franchise in Eugene, Ore. Infielder Jet Butler, drafted in the 26th round by the New York Mets, has reported to the Brooklyn Cyclones, where he will begin his career in the New York-Penn League. Pitcher Tyler Whit-ney, picked in the 34th round by the Seattle Mariners, has been assigned to the Everett (Wash.) AquaSox.
nfLHarper agrees to tender, but still could hold out
NEW ORLEANS — New Orleans Saints general manager Mickey Loomis says Roman Harper has signed his one-year restricted free agent tender offer.
Harper’s decision ensures he will make at least $2.52 million in 2010, but it won’t necessarily head off a training camp holdout.
Harper, a fifth-year safety and a starter since his rookie year, had resisted signing because he wanted a longer deal. He signed on Tues-day to avoid a situation whereby the Saints, under the NFL’s collec-tive bargaining agreement, could lower their offer to 110 percent of Harper’s 2009 salary, or around $600,000.
nbaCoach Tom Izzo rejects Cavs, sticks with Michigan State
EAST LANSING, Mich. — Michi-gan State kept its man: Tom Izzo.
The Cleveland Cavaliers were left with Plan B. Izzo turned down a chance to perhaps double his salary and possibly coach LeBron James in the NBA, choosing to stick with the Spartans to chase NCAA championships.
“The grass is pretty green here,” Izzo said Tuesday night at a news conference.

Co-worker discovers man’s double life at nightclubDear Abby: Recently I was
at a club with friends and ran into a co-worker. He was dressed in drag and intro-duced himself as “Glenda.” At work, he dresses like a male and goes by “Glen.”
Since that night he has been avoiding me and cutting con-versations short, if not ignor-ing me altogether. Should I let him know I’m OK with his alternate persona, or let it be? I don’t want to risk awkward situations. — Sympathetic in Northern Virginia
Dear Sympthetic: I don’t know how large your company is or how much contact you have with Glen. If the answer
is it’s a large company and con-tact is minimal, then let it be. If you have contact with Glen frequently, and his embarrass-ment is having an impact on your work relationship, then clear the air by letting him know that what happens after hours is his business and you do not gossip. Period.
Dear Abby: I work in a small office, and every day a co-worker’s adult child who works nearby comes here to have lunch with her mother. She knows everyone’s busi-ness as if she worked here, and we’re forced to order her something when we get take-out. Frankly, we’re tired of it. How can we put a stop to this without hurting anyone’s feel-ings? — One More for Lunch
Dear O.M.F.L.: It appears the line between “family” and “business” has become blurred. The co-worker who is closest to the mother should approach her privately and say, “You should know that
your daughter coming here every day is creating hard feel-ings in the office. If you want to have lunch with her every day, then you should be doing it outside the office. During our lunch time, we want to talk about things that are per-sonal, and her presence makes that difficult.”

DEAR ABBY
Couple plans to provide gift of life to othersDear Dr. Gott: My husband
and I have decided to be organ donors. We are also discussing donating our bodies to med-ical science. Can you please discuss the details of making a cadaver donation? How do we find the right institution to donate to, and what needs to be done in advance? What costs are involved, and can the donor specify what can and cannot be done with the body? In terms of medical science, please explain exactly what the body is used for, how it is used, and what is done with any remains. Thank you in advance for the information.
Dear Reader: To begin with, there is a great difference between organ donation and donating a body to medical sci-ence. Furthermore, there are several types of donations, including organ and tissue from a living donor, donations follow-ing cardiac or brain death, and whole-body donations. Organ donation can include stem cells, tissue, blood and organs. If this is your wish, register with your state donor registry if you have one. Not all states do, so don’t be concerned if you live in a
state that lacks a registry. Have the notation incorporated onto your driver’s license, and sign a donor card that you carry with you at all times. Donor cards can even be downloaded from the website www.organdonor.gov/donor/index.htm.
In terms of donating your body to medical science, as far as I can tell, every medi-cal school accepts donations. In fact, the supply can’t meet the demand. There are restric-tions regarding geographic locations because of transpor-tation costs involved. Offers outside a specific area may be accepted, however, provid-ing a donor’s estate bears the cost of transportation. Specific details can be obtained from the bequeathal secretary of your nearest medical school. The process is relatively simple when all rules are followed.
Under the Human Tissue Act of 2004, written and witnessed consent for anatomical exami-nation must be given prior to death by the person donating his or her remains. No one else can donate a cadaver postmor-tem. The HTA licenses and inspects all establishments that use donated bodies for research and teaching purposes. Spe-cific forms for donation should be obtained from the medical school nearest you, and family members should be advised of your decision to make the donation.
By law, no medical school in the United States is allowed to buy a body from a family or estate. Other than being 18 years of age or older, there is no age limit when donating to medical science, because a determination of acceptance is based on physical condition. There is no price tag involved for the donation. Generally speaking, a body is accepted by an institution within 48 hours and transported by a licensed funeral director. In the state of Connecticut, only the eyes may be donated for transplant when a body is donated for
teaching purposes. The body is embalmed, prepared, and stored in a secure manner until needed for teaching purposes. Keep in mind that the school might reject some people for various reasons, including extreme obesity, being grossly underweight, dehydration or carrying an infectious disease, so a backup plan should be considered.
The demand for specific organs and bodies for research far outweighs the availability. According to the Organ and Tissue Donation and Trans-plantation website, about 77 people receive organ trans-plants each day, while 19 others die waiting for such transplants that can’t take place because of the shortage of donated organs.
Giving a “gift of life” can save the lives of as many as 50 people. That’s an impressive statistic that can’t be denied. I commend you and your hus-band on making such an impor-tant decision.

ASKTHEDOCTOR
TWEEN 12 & 20BY DR. ROBERT WALLACE • NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSOCIATION
Dr. Wallace: Ryan and I dated for over a year, but we broke up when his fam-ily moved to California a year ago. We promised to be true until we could be together again, but after two months he wrote that he wanted to break up because we were so far apart. I didn’t like the idea, but there wasn’t anything I could do to keep us together.
I think of Ryan every day and dream of the day he will re-turn to me. I got up the nerve to call him last week. I asked him if he was coming back to Madison after he graduates in June. He said no, because
he and his buddy are going to Alaska before they start col-lege at UCLA.
I’m in the 11th grade and have not gone out on a date since Ryan left town, since I’ve been waiting for him to come home. To make things more complicated, he said he has been dating the same girl for over 10 months and they are “serious” about each other.
Do you think there is any chance Ryan will change his mind and come back to me? Or did I waste a year of my life dreaming a dream that might never come true? — Name-less, Madison, Wis.
Nameless: No, you didn’t waste a year of your life; you just weren’t particularly inter-ested in dating other guys, and you spent your time in other ways. There’s nothing wrong with that. However, your dream of Ryan’s return was an illusion.
Now that you’re ready to start dating again. You need to face the reality that Ryan is history. Don’t be too hard on yourself. You called Ryan to see if there was any chance of getting back together with him and he said, (I’m sure as nicely as he could) “No.” This was a disappointment, but
you’ll recover.You’ve got the rest of high
school — and the rest of your life — to look forward to. For-get your ex and start going out with other guys. There is life after Ryan, and I have no doubts you’re ready to take it on.
Write to me again in a month or so and let me know how you are doing. I’m posi-tive that you will have good news to share with me!

Party crashers won’t deter Bravo seriesExecutives at the Bravo network took a long time deciding
whether to go ahead with its “Real Housewives” series based in Washington after one of its stars crashed President Barack Obama’s first state dinner, its programming chief said.
The network said Tuesday it was going ahead with the series featuring Michaele Salahi, starting Aug. 5 at 8 p.m.
Bravo was nearly at the end of filming the latest installment of its “Real Housewives” franchise last November when Salahi and her husband, Tareq, talked their way into the White House affair.
The network could either go ahead with the series or scrap the season altogether, Andy Cohen, the top programming execu-tive, said Tuesday. There was no way at that stage to simply re-place her, he said.
Michael Jackson’s brother hospitalizedRandy Jackson, brother of the late pop legend
Michael Jackson, was hospitalized Tuesday in Southern California.
Jackson, 48, experienced chest pains around noon Tuesday and was taken to Huntington Memorial Hospital in Pasadena, where he is currently awaiting the outcome of tests, said a source close to the Jackson family who spoke on condition of anonymity.
The source said doctors at the hospital think it was a mild heart attack, but this has not yet been confirmed.
On Monday, Randy Jackson was in court with his family for a hearing in the involuntary manslaughter case of Dr. Conrad Murray who is accused in Michael Jackson’s death. Randy Jack-son arrived after everyone else and stopped to hug his parents, his brothers and sister LaToya before the hearing began.
Police: Second Sheen car stolen, rolledFor the second time in five months, a Mer-
cedes-Benz owned by Charlie Sheen was stolen and sent off Mulholland Drive near his Santa Monica Mountains home, authorities said Tues-day.
Firefighters responding to a report of a traffic accident found the silver, 2010 Mercedes S600 about 100 feet down a brushy ravine about 3 a.m., fire department spokesman Eric Scott said.
The car was running and its lights were on. Nobody was inside, and it showed no signs of forced entry.
Sheen’s publicist Stan Rosenfield said he believed the keys were in the ignition, but police would not confirm that.
The star of TV’s “Two and a Half Men” didn’t know the car was missing, police Officer Norma Eisenman said. It was found in the same area where another Sheen Mercedes was found Feb. 5.

Police dog has good first day on the jobA new police dog has learned an old trick — tracking down a
parole violator outside New York City on its first day on the job.Bloodhound Tank Tebow is handled by Officer Curtis Hahne in
Newburgh, 60 miles north of New York.Tank was donated to police Monday and began his career
with the officer Tuesday. Two hours later police were dispatched to an apartment complex on a tip the parole violator was there. But by the time police arrived the man had disappeared.
Police say Tank followed the man’s scent into a commercial area, through woods, across streets and into another apartment complex several blocks away. They say the man surrendered without incident.

B6 Wednesday, June 16, 2010 The Vicksburg Post
Gemini (May 21-June 20) — When dealing with others, especially if you are acting in a supervisory role, try not to come on too strong or be too demanding. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — In situations where you usual-ly choose your words careful-ly, in order to restrain yourself from being too critical, your tongue could instead unleash itself and put others in their place. Take care.Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Make sure that your behav-ior isn’t too “I”-oriented, or it could cause others to think you’re just plain selfish.Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Let your thinking stand on its own two feet, and allow your listeners to decide for themselves if you are right or wrong. Trying to impose your ideas on others will meet with rejection.Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — If you have to deal with some-one whom you’ve never for-given for a past matter, be sure not to let the issue ignite itself all over again. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Expecting others to feel the same as you do about something that has you quite enthusiastic is asking far too much of them. It isn’t likely they’ll be operating on your wavelength.Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Challenges could arouse your stronger qualities and cause you to want to compete in areas where you formerly merely complied. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — You’re one who rarely takes a chance because you make sure of what’s up before get-ting into anything. Yet today you could be looking for a bit more excitement and do just the opposite.Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — There’s a situation that you feel needs to be rectified and mustn’t be allowed to drift any longer. You’re more than likely to finally find the gump-
tion to do something about it. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — No matter how energetic you are or how independent you feel, it behooves you to work cooperatively with your con-temporaries today. Aries (March 21-April 19) — Your focus, stamina and in-dustriousness are all at high points at this time, giving you all that you need to accom-
plish whatever you choose to do. Select something impor-tant that needs tending.Taurus (April 20-May 20) — If you don’t have any social plans on the calendar, it be-hooves you to make some. You could use a change that can only be effected by do-ing something fun and unde-manding.
