It’s a case of spamming leading to “cramming” — the unwanted text messages are accompanied by third-party charges tacked onto the user’s cell phone bill. The increasing problem has not es- caped the attention of the Missis- sippi Public Service Commission, which has been receiving com- plaints about such practices, said Brandon Presley, northern district commissioner. “As it stands today, they can tack charges onto the bill without per- mission,” he said. The PSC has pressed for changes in the law, although without suc- cess thus far. One example that has been reported by cell phone users in Corinth involves text messages from “Mobibro IQ.” The cell phone users’ phones receive a series of three text messages about a “Fun Facts” service for $9.99 monthly. Users’ phone bills are apparently charged as soon as they receive the messages or shortly thereafter, even though they have not signed up for the subscription. Similar scams may offer horoscopes or other services. One of the messages reads, “Mo- bibroIQ: Welcome to IQ! for HELP call 18888906150 $9.99/mo for 3 msgs/wk. Relpy HELP for help, Reply STOP to cancel. Msg&Data Rates May Apply” Presley does not recommend responding with “STOP.” He said cell phone users who receive such a message should call the phone company to check if any charges were added to their account and have them removed. To prevent such charges from happening, he said customers can ask to have a purchase block put on their ac- count to block third-party charg- es. Presley said many of these mes- sages are sent randomly in hopes of hitting a working phone num- ber. “We are regularly communicat- ing with the FCC about these, and we have been able to help people get it taken off their bill,” he said. The commissioner said anyone who wants assistance in getting a bogus charge removed from a bill or to have a purchase block added may contact the PSC for help. Purchase block is free. Some phone carriers will also provide a PIN to authorize purchases. “Cramming” — the practice of placing unauthorized, misleading or deceptive charges on a tele- phone bill — is a long-standing problem for land line phones that is now increasing in the mobile world. The charges are sometimes list- ed with vague descriptions such as “usage fee” or “service charge” that are designed to escape the at- tention of the account holder. The amounts may be small, such as $2 or $3, also to avoid attention. For that reason, Presley said it is important to always thoroughly examine a phone bill to make sure no third-party charges have been added. The FCC has found that much of cramming goes undetected, allow- ing scam artists to rake in money without the knowledge of consum- ers.

The Corinth Middle School fth-grader was recently named a student ambassador in the People to People Student Ambassador Program. She was nominated anonymously in the fall of 2011, and after several interviews, she was of- cially accepted. Each year 40 students in her age group are chosen to be ambassadors for Mississippi in the program. On the two-week trip this summer she will travel to west- ern Canada to learn the re- gion’s customs — and spread some of America’s customs, as well. Part of the trip will be a two-night stay with an Indian tribe, in which the student ambassador will learn about native culture by building her own tipi and eating the tribe’s traditional food. As part of the Student Am- bassador Program, all the stu- dents in her delegation were asked to create a project to earn money for the trip. While the tuition is paid by her par- ents, Leslie Miller wanted to earn enough money herself to pay for a portion of her tuition as well as some spending mon- ey for her time in Canada. One day when she was sick and home from school, Leslie Miller and her mother, Shelley Archie, began discussing ideas for her project. “She really wanted to make some kind of jewelry,” said Shelley. “Ideas kept rolling and Initially Cute developed. Everything has thankfully just fallen into place like it was meant to be.” Leslie Miller’s venture, Ini- tially Cute, is a project to sell wood-burned initial earrings and necklaces that she creates with her family, including her father, Chad Archie, her eight- year-old sister, Mary Libbon, and her four-year-old brother, Chad. They also have some help from family friend Joan Rorie, an artist from Boonev- ille who offered to help with the earrings. “We are very thankful for her help,” said Shelley. Now, Leslie Miller is selling Initially Cute earrings for $8 a pair, and necklaces for $8 each.

The rate increase is necessary to pay for the mandated treat- ment plant modication and the sanitary sewer system evaluation and analysis that is also about to begin, he said. The city is also us- ing a low-interest state loan for the treatment plant project. The board in April accepted Max Foote Construction’s bid of $16.944 million for the reha- bilitation project on the treat- ment plant on South Harper Road. The project is set to begin in June and is expected to take 20 months to complete. The upgraded plant must be in ser- vice in 2013.

Letter to the editor

To the editor:A lot of people have asked me why I didn’t

just do a petition drive for the city of Iuka on the issue of alcohol sales instead of all of Tishomingo County.

I thought it would not be fair to the other cities that are located in Tishomingo County. I felt like the whole county should have a say on this.

On Monday, April 23, I found out if I only wanted to do a city election I could not have done so. A city has to have 6,000 registered voters in that city, before there can be an election held for alcohol. According to Jack-son they have changed that law since I have started this petition drive to vote Tishomingo County wet for alcohol.

A law was passed several weeks ago that if a city has a courthouse, then you can hold an election for the sale of alcohol in it. This new law will not take effect until July 1. I cannot start a petition drive until that law has been put into effect. After that date, I am planning on doing a petition drive to legalize the sale of alcohol in the city limits of Iuka.

The petition I currently have to vote Tisho-mingo County wet is still a good petition. All I need is 422 legal registered signatures to sign it. All of the signatures I have already received to vote Tishomingo County wet are still good.

I am going to continue to push this petition to vote Tishomingo County wet. The petition for the city of Iuka will be for the people who live within the city limits of Iuka.

If you live in the county, you cannot sign the petition or vote on the ballot to vote the city wet. You have got to live within the city limits to do this. You can still sign the petition to vote the county wet as long as you live in Tishomingo County and you are a registered voter. There are two separate petitions.

It will be after July 1 before I can start the city petition. If you have not signed the pe-tition to vote Tishomingo County wet, I still need your signature very badly. If you would like to discuss this with me, feel free to call me -- 662-423-6233.

The petition to vote Tishomingo County wet for alcohol will be in the Tishomingo County newspaper on Thursday, May 3.

A verse to share

Joint Resolution 1, the redistricting plan for the Mississippi House of Rep-resentatives, has been in-troduced, debated, and passed.

This exercise in the re-districting process, which is one of the most political functions undertaken in all of the activities required of a legislative body. It is a tough, bitter exercise in partisan politics.

Basically, the redistrict-ing motivation is this: The winning party in a legisla-tive race seeks to capitalize upon and solidify its gains by establishing legislative districts that leave the win-ning party more fi rmly en-trenched than they were prior to the successful fi ght to obtain majority status. In order to accomplish this, the party must walk a tightrope through a number of statu-tory requirements such as those that mandate con-sideration be given incum-bents, that minority voting strength be protected and that “communities of inter-est” are acknowledged.

Within these consider-ations, it is the party in the majority that has the power to call the shots on how the new districts will be com-prised.

Hence, elections do in-deed have consequences.

For the time being, Joint Resolution 1 is in the books. With the advent of comput-ers and evermore sophis-ticated data mapping pro-grams, it is a fairly simple matter to draw districts that are Republican in nature as well as those that will likely

vote Demo-cratic. The fi nal fac-tor govern-ing how the districts are compiled is change in population. In the case of Mississip-pi, the Delta

c o n t i n u e s to noticeably lose popula-tion while legislative seats are being drawn to Desoto County by its population growth.

In the fi nal analysis, the House GOP leadership has adopted a plan that left the 122-member House with 79 districts that contain less than 35 percent minor-ity population as compared to only 70 districts in this category prior to redistrict-ing. They acknowledged the growth in African-Ameri-can population with a one-seat increase in black ma-jority districts to 42. Only one seat now will fall in the “in between” category at 40 percent black voting age population compared to 11 seats that held such status under the outgoing plan.

In short, the GOP plan has acknowledged the growth in black popula-tion by adding a seat while at the same time reconfi g-uring the remaining seats to reduce the number of minority-infl uenced seats. The result spells trouble for those seats currently held by white Democrats, sev-eral of whom must now run against each other and a few who are paired in the same

districts with strong Repub-lican incumbents.

The upshot of the redis-tricting process is the Re-publicans are almost certain to increase their current 64-58 margin in the next elec-tion at the expense of seats in reconfi gured districts long held by Democrats. The Democrats fought gamely when the plan was introduced. However, Re-publicans were quite cogni-zant of their electoral break-through in November 2011, and they carried the day on a largely partisan 70-49 vote.

As mentioned above, re-districting is a tough, bitter exercise in partisan politics. Is the process appropriate and fair? It is certainly an example of “hardball,” bare-knuckle politics at its best. Like it or not, the process seems to work the same both ways.

The redistricting gambit played out in Oktibbeha County following the 2000 Census is an excellent case in point. That growing county, home to the largest university in Mississippi, was split fi ve different ways by Democratic House re-districtors in order to cre-ate a single district pitting two GOP fi rst-termers Gary Chisholm of New Hope and Rob Robinson of Starkville against each other. Robin-son lost that contest, leav-ing only veteran Tyrone El-lis with any prominent need to give voice to Oktibbeha County’s interests.

The majorities of the four other districts lay outside of the county. Ironically, in

the plan passed last week Oktibbeha County’s sta-tus was restored, with Rep. Ellis gaining virtual “safe seat” status within the east-ern half of the county and a new open district being cre-ated for the western half of the county. So elections do indeed have consequences.

Can the Democrats dust themselves off and become competitive once again? Buoyed by their new supe-riority in numbers, have the Republicans created a plan that will suffi ciently pass the tests of acknowledging incumbency, of assuring the protection of black voting strength and of due consid-eration to the importance of communities of interest?

The journey to answer-ing those questions is not over and several more ques-tions and issues remain. Will there be appeal to the courts? Will there be ac-tion by the U.S. Justice De-partment? Will the current legislature be allowed to continue to serve in admit-tedly malapportioned dis-tricts until the next election cycle in 2015, or will elec-tions be required for this fall?

There is one answer we know: For now, the elec-tions of 2011 have placed the GOP in the redistricting driver’s seat.

Elections have consequences: Redistricting 2012

MONTGOMERY, Ala. — No matter how many times I stand in front of a group to speak, I get nervous. One of the reasons I went into print journalism was because I fi gured I’d never have to do any public speaking or wear grown-up clothes.

I still don’t wear grown-up clothes.

It’s especially hard to talk to home folks, people who knew you back when you forgot to feed your goldfi sh and held up your knee socks with rubber bands.

So here I am in my home-town, holding forth. After my speech, a smiling wom-an wearing a T-shirt that says “Michelangelo” greets me. She’s using a walker. I’m not surprised to see her; she’s loyal that way.

At Robert E. Lee High School, Wynona Hall was an English teacher and the student newspaper spon-sor. And, yes, the two are related.

She’s behind a walker be-cause she recently had knee surgery. She’s wearing Mi-

chelangelo on her chest because she went to It-aly. Behind the walker.

Somehow W y n o n a Hall never c h a n g e s . She wears

her hair the same way she did 40 years ago. Her smile is warm and genuine on her sweet, unlined face. Her laugh re-mains contagious.

I’ve always been grateful to Mrs. Hall because she convinced me that there might be a way to make a living with my one semi-marketable skill. She never laughed at my overwrought poetry or lavender prose. She simply told me not to split an infi nitive or end a sentence in a preposition.

Wynona Hall knew I was but a guppy, not frying size.

I was on the staff of the paper called The Stars and Bars. We were supposed to sell ads as well as write sto-

ries. Such is the grand tra-dition of community jour-nalism. I could check out of sixth period class and dart about the community ask-ing merchants if they’d buy advertising.

I wasn’t any good at that part of the game. I’m still not good at selling. And, truth be known, some of us spent more time sipping milkshakes at McDonald’s than earnestly trying to re-cruit advertisers.

Somehow, despite that, the newspaper always came out on time replete with community ads. Wynona Hall herded our amateurish efforts into coherent news and features and something resembling a newspaper. We always made deadline. I considered a newspaper some kind of miracle. Still do.

People love to cuss their newspapers, but if you ever sat in a newspaper plan-ning session at 2 p.m. and saw the fi nished product at 2 a.m., you’d cut report-ers and editors a little more

slack. That it happens at all ...

I’ve often rhapsodized about tough but kindly editors who infl uenced my career. I’ve also talked about no-nonsense college journalism professors who drilled into my thick head the elements of style as de-fi ned by William Strunk and E.B. White.

But thinking back, it might have been my early English teachers — Marie Holloway, Helene Sutliff, Helen Blackshear, Wynona Hall — who had as much to do with my work as anyone.

They are the ones who taught me to write a short, declarative sentence. Who strung words on a diagram like ornaments on a Christ-mas tree. Who hammered home the grammatical foundation on which great masterpieces and simple stories alike must rest.

by people asking about the earrings I have been wearing,” Shelley said. “We are taking orders on a weekly basis and hope that continues to grow as we get the word out.”

Seven local stores have asked Leslie Miller to bring in displays of her products for sale.

The Archie family is also working on a Face-book business page to help market the Initially Cute products.

SHELBYVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Shelbyville Po-lice jailed a man whose currency wasn’t cur-rent.

Later, the arresting offi cer told Lorenzo Gaspar he was sorry he’d arrested him after discovering the $50 bill was real.

The Shelbyville Times-Gazette reported Offi cer Brock Horner arrested Gaspar on Friday after a clerk at a Quik Mart told police a marker used to detect counterfeit bills wouldn’t mark the one Gaspar gave him.

Turned out the money wasn’t at fault, the pro-

cess was.Evidence technician

Sgt. Bill Logue told Horn-er to have the bill exam-ined at banks.

One found the 50 “real, but very old.”

Another used a black light and magnifying glass to determine the bill was legitimate.

Sturdivant deadat the age of 85

GLENDORA (AP) — Mike P. Sturdivant, a two-time gubernatorial candidate and fourth-generation Delta farmer, has died. He was 85.

Officials with Wilson and Knight Funeral Home told the Associated Press that Sturdivant died Tues-day at his home on the Due West Plantation near Glendora. Funeral ser-vices are pending.

Mike Sturdivant Jr. told the Greenwood Common-wealth that his father had been in declining health for the past year.

Sturdivant was an un-successful candidate for the Democratic nomina-tion for governor in 1983 and 1987.

Mike Sturdivant Jr. says his father had remained active until recently with the family’s 12,000-acre farming op-eration.

The elder Sturdivant served as chairman of the state College Board and as board chairman of Methodist hospital systems in Memphis.

Cancer clinictrial postponed

JACKSON (AP) — At-torneys say the trial has been delayed for a former cancer clinic owner and two others charged with in an alleged scheme to dilute chemotherapy drugs and use old syring-es on multiple patients.

The trial related to Rose Cancer Center in Summit had been sched-uled to begin Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Jackson.

Prosecutors filed a mo-tion in March asking for more time to prepare. The filing said more charges are likely.

Dr. Meera Sachdeva, Brittany McCoskey and Monica Weeks are charged with offenses including conspiracy and witness tampering. They’ve pleaded not guilty.

Authorities say the clinic made millions while diluting drugs and billing Medicaid, Medicare and insurance companies for more chemotherapy drugs than patients re-ceived. The clinic is now closed.

Officer and suspectdead after shooting

PEARL (AP) — Authori-ties say a police officer and a suspect have died after a shooting that also injured two other officers while serving a search war-rant in central Mississippi.

The shooting happened Tuesday at the Colony Park Apartments in Pearl. University of Mississippi Medical Center spokes-man Jack Mazurak said one of the officers died at 11:56 a.m.

Rankin County District Attorney Michael Guest identified the slain officer as Mike Walters. He was shot in the head.

Mazurak said the two other officers were in good condition. Their identities have not been released.

Guest said the officers were serving a warrant in a molestation case when Carnell Gaines Jr. shot them. One of the of-ficers returned fire, killing Gaines.

Bin Laden said to havewanted Obama killed

WASHINGTON (AP) — A former Obama administra-tion official says al Qaida leader Osama bin Laden wanted to see President Barack Obama and Gen. David Petraeus assas-sinated.

But Michael Leiter tells NBC’s “Today” show he didn’t think that neces-sarily was bin Laden’s highest priority, suggest-ing the terrorist leader dreamed of another large-scale, 9/11-type attack on the United States.

Asked by “Today” host Matt Lauer Tuesday whether bin Laden’s aim of seeing Obama assas-sinated was more of a “wish-list” than a plot, Leiter agreed.

Leiter served as head of the National Counterter-rorism Center during the Obama administration.

Phillip, the son of Rev. Willie and Annie Mathis and Bonnie, the daughter of Wilson and Eva Mae Suitor were married on May 5, 1962, at the courthouse in Florence, AL. After keeping their marriage a secret for about a week, they honeymooned to Mammoth Cave, KY. What a secret they kept! But, what a great outcome they’ve had! After 36 years working with the Alcorn County Electric Power Association, Philip retired in 1999 and has enjoyed working with his sawmill, in his workshop, and fi shing several days a week. Bonnie continues to work at home caring for her family as she has for many years. They are enjoying each and every minute together. Much of their time is spent supporting their three grandchildren’s activities and spoiling them rotten. They are members of the Farmington Baptist Church and enjoy the animals on their farm at Suitor’s Crossing and the occasional fi shing trip to Arkansas. They have two daughters: Nena and Nancy. Nena is married to Johnny Work and has a son, Alex, who will be turning 15 soon. Nancy is married to Brandon Harvell and has two children, Nathan, age 9 and Natalie, age 2.

Please join us for a surprise celebration of their 50 years together on Sunday, May 6 any time between 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM at Friends and Co., 613 Cruise Street in downtown Corinth. No gifts, please, but bring your memories as we’ll be videotaping your memories for their enjoyment aferwards. No invitations are being sent.

Today

Allergan earnings

Cosmetic drug and device maker Allergan ended 2011 on a positive note.

The maker of Botox and other cosmetic treatments posted a higher profit in the last three months of the year. Allergan also benefited from rising demand for Botox, as sales grew by more than 7 percent.

The company reports first-quarter results today, including an update on its Botox sales.

CVS Caremark’s 1Q

You could say that Walgreen’s loss has been drugstore operator CVS Caremark’s gain.

When Walgreen’s contract with pharmacy benefits manager Express Scripts ended, more customers switched to CVS pharmacies.

Financial analysts are expecting that boon to help CVS post strong growth at stores open at least a year when it reports first-quarter results today.

MasterCard earnings

Americans have reached for their credit cards less often this year. That’s bad news for MasterCard, which reports quarterly earnings before the stock market opens today.

With the economy still uncertain, consumers may not be ready to run up bal-ances again. But Master-card should be helped by an increase in card use overseas. Source: FactSet

Triple-digit turbulenceThe Dow Jones industrial average gained or lost

100 points just six days during the first quarter of the year. It did that eight times in April.

That nearly equaled the monthly average last year when the Dow had a triple-digit gain or loss 104 times. And it left investors wondering whether so-called volatility has returned to the stock market.

The main reason for last month’s up and down days? Renewed fear about the rising debt problem in Europe. Investors didn’t pay much attention to it in the first quarter, says Jim Bianco, president of Bianco Research in Chicago.

Still, investors aren’t as worked up about the market’s gyrations as they were last year. The stock market’s fear gauge, formally the Chicago

Board of Options Exchange Volatility Index, generally has remained below its historical average

of about 19. Last year, the VIX remained above 25 from early August through

mid-December. The VIX measures the price of

options, or contracts to buy or sell stocks. Options enable shareholders to lock in a guaranteed price for their stock. When stocks are volatile, investors are often afraid, and willing to pay more for options. That raises

the VIX.Although the VIX has eased in the

past week, it had spiked more than 30 percent through much of April as investors wondered: Is the rest of this year going to be rocky?

On the horizon: The unemployment report on Friday could provide another jolt to the market.

OXFORD — Alcorn Central exceeded the bar once again.

The school set another stan-dard for track qualifi ers on Sat-urday, advancing 14 athletes in 21 events from the Region 1-3A Meet in Oxford.

Those athletes qualifi ed for the North State Meet, which will be held Saturday at Charleston.

“The focus and competitive toughness is still surprising for such a young group,” said Cen-tral Coach Bobby Purvis. “They

have done a super job to get this far.”

Central set its fi rst mark by advancing 19 different athletes in 28 spots from the Division 1-3A event held at Tishomingo County High School.

As a team, the Lady Bears fi nished second in a 10-school fi eld. Alissa Ann Williams led the way with two fi rsts -- pole vault and 100 hurdles.

The Lady Bears lost only a pair of relay events from their Division qualifi ers.

The Bears turned in a sixth-place showing, advancing sev-

en of their 12 entries.The top-four fi nishers from

this week’s meet will vie for state championships.

LOS ANGELES — The $2 billion sale of the Los An-geles Dodgers was fi nalized Tuesday, ending the tumultu-ous era under former owner Frank McCourt, who took the team into bankruptcy and had his private life made pub-lic through a nasty divorce battle with his ex-wife.

The closure of the deal was announced in a terse state-ment. The Dodgers were sold to Guggenheim Baseball Man-agement, a group that includes former Los Angeles Lakers star Magic Johnson.

Mark Walter, chief execu-tive offi cer of the fi nancial services fi rm Guggenheim Partners, will become the con-trolling owner, and the team will be run by former Atlanta Braves President Stan Kasten. They will hold a news confer-ence Wednesday at Dodger Stadium.

McCourt met with Dodgers employees Tuesday, express-

ing his appreciation and in-troduced Walter, said Howard Sunkin, a spokesman for Mc-Court.

“The Dodgers move forward with confi dence in a strong fi -nancial position as a premier Major League Baseball fran-chise and as an integral part of and representative of the Los Angeles community,” accord-ing to a joint statement by Mc-Court and the new owners.

The timing couldn’t have come at a better time for Dodgers fans, who are excited about having their team lead-ing the National League. The team had a 16-7 record going into Tuesday night’s game in Colorado.

“I think the fans of LA are pretty excited about the new ownership and what it’s bring-ing. As long as L.A. is happy, I’m happy,” slugger Matt Kemp said. “As long as we’re winning, I’m happy.”

The Dodgers have won six World Series titles but none

since 1988, when they were still owned by the O’Malley family that moved the team from Brooklyn to California after the 1957 season.

The sale was part of a reor-ganization plan after McCourt took the team into bankruptcy last June. A federal judge ap-proved the deal last month.

The sale was supposed to close Monday, the day Mc-Court was to make a $131 mil-lion payment to former wife Jamie McCourt as part of their divorce settlement. The team’s statement said all claims will be paid. Jamie McCourt did receive her payout on Monday.

McCourt paid $430 mil-lion in 2004 to buy the team, Dodger Stadium and 250 acres of land that include the parking lots from the Fox di-vision of Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. Fox bought the team in 1998, then sold it to McCourt.

Despite the Dodgers making the playoffs the fi rst four out of

six seasons under McCourt’s ownership, the off-the-fi eld saga took attention away from the team as he and his ex-wife were in a protracted divorce battle during which their lav-ish spending habits were re-vealed in court documents and testimony.

Last April, MLB appointed former Texas Rangers Presi-dent Tom Schieffer to monitor the Dodgers on behalf of base-ball Commissioner Bud Selig, who said he was concerned about the team’s fi nances and how the Dodgers were being run.

The team fi led for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection af-ter Selig rejected a proposed broadcast rights deal with Fox Sports that McCourt said would have alleviated worries about covering payroll.

The team’s debt stood at $579 million as of January, according to a court fi ling, but McCourt stands to make hun-dreds of millions of dollars.

WASHINGTON — Andy Pettitte and Roger Clemens sat some 20 feet apart, Pet-titte on the witness stand and Clemens at the defense table trying to avoid going to jail. The topic: a remark about human growth hormone Pet-titte recalled hearing from his longtime teammate, mentor and workout partner a dozen years ago.

“Roger had mentioned to me that he had taken HGH,” Pettitte testifi ed. “And that it could help with recovery, and that’s really all I remember about the conversation.”

The rest of the details are

fuzzy. Pettitte went on ac-knowledge that the words were said in passing during an intense workout.

It’s a conversation that Cle-mens has famously claimed that Pettitte “misremem-bers.”

The right-hander on trial who won 354 major league games and the lefty on the stand with 240 wins had an awkward reunion Tuesday, Day 8 in the retrial of charges that Clemens lied when he told Congress in 2008 that he never used steroids or HGH.

Pettitte’s appearance en-livened the proceedings and came without warning. The

government interrupted testi-mony from the trial’s fi rst wit-ness to call Pettitte just before noon. Wearing a gray suit, he walked into court a day after allowing six runs and 10 hits with eight strikeouts over 5 2⁄3 innings in an extended spring training game in Clearwater, Fla., as part his comeback at-tempt at age 39 with the New York Yankees.

Pettitte testifi ed mostly with his hands clasped in front of him and rarely looked at Clemens, even during the lengthy delays when law-yers held conferences at the judge’s bench. Clemens fre-quently took notes. The two

haven’t spoken recently be-cause of the trial, but Pettitte nevertheless said he found it diffi cult to testify because he still considers Clemens a good friend.

Pettitte is crucial to a gov-ernment case that will other-wise rely heavily on the testi-mony of Brian McNamee, who worked as a strength coach for both Clemens and Pet-titte and has said he injected both men with performance-enhancing substances. The government showed the jury photos of the three working out together in Texas during happier times — “Mac, Roger and me,” as Pettitte put it.

Corinth’s quest at a 15th state ten-nis title ended Friday with a 5-2 loss to New Albany in the second round of the Class 4A playoffs.

New Albany beat the local team 4-3 during their regular-season match in early March.

CHS had reached the title round the previous four seasons since the new team format was unveiled in 2008. The Warriors and Lady Warriors went back-to-back in 2008-2009 before fi n-ishing as runner-ups the past two sea-sons.

Prior to the new format, Corinth won three straight team titles under a point system.

THE FINE PRINT

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.— Evan Longoria took a right turn out of the Tampa Bay clubhouse and walked a few feet before stepping in front of a group of reporters huddled around a lineup board that will not list his name for the next four to eight weeks.

The three-time All-Star was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a partially torn left ham-string Tuesday. Replacing his bat and glove won’t be easy.

Yet the Rays are confi dent they’ll be OK without their best player, who’s hitting .329 with four homers and 19 RBIs.

“I’ve been in similar situations before and it’s just one of those things where I’ll stay positive,” the third baseman said. “It’s going to be tough to watch, but I can’t really worry about it right now. I’ve just got to worry about getting healthy.”

The Rays received the test re-sults before Tuesday night’s game against the Seattle Mariners. Longoria was injured Monday while running to second base on an attempted steal. He slid into the bag and remained on the ground for a moment before climbing to his feet and walking to the dugout without assistance.

Elliot Johnson replaced him following the third inning and eventually delivered a game-win-ning RBI single in the 12th inning.

The Rays have a knack for fi nd-ing someone to step up when star players are struggling or hurt. That’s one of the reasons they are confi dent they can withstand Longoria’s absence.

“We’re still a really good team. We’re going to have to be that much better defensively, that much better with our execution on the basepaths,” executive vice president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman said.

“Our pitching’s going to be very good. We’re going to score runs,” he added. “So it’s one of those things where it’s defi nitely not ideal, but we do have a ton of tal-ent around him that should still allow us to win a lot of games.”

The Rays have made the play-offs three of the past four seasons, including 2008 when they won the AL East and made an improb-able run to the World Series. That year, nearly every starter spent time on the disabled list, includ-ing Longoria.

ATLANTA — The Braves usually can count on the back of their bullpen.

Jonny Venters let them down as his scoreless stretch to open the season ended.

Venters gave the Braves’ bullpen its fi rst loss of the season by giving up two runs on four hits in the eighth and the Braves fell to the Philadelphia Phil-lies 4-2 on Tuesday night.

Brandon Beachy gave up only two runs in seven innings to outlast Phillies starter Cole Hamels. Then the Phillies broke a 2-2 tie with two runs against Venters (2-1), the left-hander who usually sets up closer Craig Kimbrel.

“Brandon pitched his butt off,” Venters said. “For me to give it away like that is unacceptable.

“I left some sinkers up in the zone and they don’t miss those pitches.”

The runs were the fi rst allowed by Venters this season, ending his stretch of 8 2-3 scoreless innings.

“We were all set up to win that ball game and it kind of hurts but it wasn’t Jonny’s day,” said Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez.

Brian McCann hit his fourth homer.

John Mayberry Jr., in the game as a pinch-hitter, doubled to right off Venters with one out in the eighth. Mayberry moved to third on Jimmy

Rollins’ single and scored on Venters’ wild pitch to Placido Polanco. Shane Victorino added an infi eld hit and Pence singled to right, driving in Rollins for a 4-2 lead.

“I didn’t make good pitches when I needed to,” Venters said.

Antonio Bastardo (1-1) pitched a perfect sev-enth. Jonathan Papelbon earned his ninth save by retiring the Braves in or-der in the ninth.

Rollins and Pence each had two hits.

“They’re missing a cou-ple big pieces but that’s still a formidable lineup they’re throwing out there every day,” Beachy said.

The Phillies (12-12), the fi ve-time defending NL East champions, returned to .500 after fi nishing April at 11-12 for their

fi rst losing record in a full month since going 11-15 in June 2009.

The Phillies took a 2-0 lead in the fourth. Po-lanco singled and moved to third on a double by Pence with two outs. Ty Wigginton followed with a single which skipped past left fi elder Martin Prado. Pence ran past third base before Prado’s error, so Wigginton, who advanced to third, was credited with two RBIs.

After McCann’s homer in the fourth, the Braves pulled even with one run off Hamels in the sixth. Singles by Freddie Free-man and Matt Diaz and a walk to McCann load-ed the bases. Freeman scored from third on Juan Francisco’s fl yball to left fi eld.

Hamels gave up two

runs on six hits and two walks in six innings.

Beachy gave up fi ve hits and two runs in seven in-nings.

“Beachy was outstand-ing,” Gonzalez said. “He matched Cole Hamels pitch for pitch and went one inning better.”

The Phillies are starting a stretch of nine straight games against NL East rivals.

The 18th annual Kyle PettyCharity Ride Across America is on theroad this week, as Petty and about175 others are wheeling their motor-cycles across the western UnitedStates.

The group left Napa, Calif., onSaturday, and will ride throughNevada, Utah, Colorado and NewMexico before ending at Texas MotorSpeedway in Fort Worth on Friday.

The ride raises money for VictoryJunction, the camp founded by thePetty family to provide a fun respitefor kids with chronic or life-threaten-ing illnesses.

Among the riders is Petty’s fellowTV personality Rutledge Wood, whohas become fast friends with Petty.

Wood was expected to join the ridein Reno, Nev., after signing off of hison-air job at Richmond InternationalRaceway on Saturday night.

Wood, who grew up inBirmingham,Ala., and went to highschool in Peachtree City, Ga., has longbeen an automobile lover, but nevermet Petty, or seriously followedNASCAR, until going to an auditionand eventually taking a job revvingup the crowd for SPEED TV’s at-track shows.

Since meeting Petty at one of thoseat-track shows, the two have becomeclose friends.

“The fact Kyle Petty is my best

friend is pretty hilarious when youconsider I’m just some kid who grewup in Birmingham who didn’t knowmuch about racing,”Wood said in aninterview with SPEED reporters.“But we’re very similar. I’m some-times a little more mature – althoughit may not appear that way – andsomehow, we meet in the middle.”

Petty agreed that, although the twomay not seem alike, they really are.

“I look at us as a likely pairing in somany ways – from music to currentevents to being a smart-aleck whowants to have fun,” Petty said. “Whatis strange is Rutledge is Adam’s[Petty’s late son] age. He’s 32. Inessence, he could be my son. Howcrazy is that? That’s the funny partthat no one ever thinks about. It’s likewho’s the oldest and more mature inthis group?”

But there’s a serious side to Wood

and Petty, and nowhere is that moreevident than in their work for VictoryJunction.

“The coolest thing is to be in thesetiny little towns out in the middle ofnowhere, and lining the street arepeople holding signs saying, ‘We missyou,Adam’ or ‘We love what you do,Kyle,’”Wood said. “Seeing the folks inthese small towns rally around whatthe Charity Ride stands for is amaz-ing. For me, it’s one of those momentsthat make this all real.

“Hopping on a motorcycle to raisemoney so that kids with illnesses canbe normal kids for one week is one ofthe coolest things anybody could everdo. People think Disney World is thehappiest place on earth, but whenyou’re at Camp with these childrenand you see their faces light upbecause no one tells them, ‘No, youcan’t do that because you’re sick,’ yourealize Camp truly is the happiestplace in the world.”

Petty said Wood’s enthusiastic per-sona, which also has led to a role onthe U.S. version of “Top Gear” on theHistory Channel, is never more evi-dent than when he’s volunteering atVictory Junction.

“Rutledge brings life to Camp andthe Charity Ride,” Petty said. “Hebrings so much energy, enthusiasmand laughter.That’s what Camp andthe Ride are all about.”

The Busch brothers havebeen through some toughtimes since the latter part

of the 2011 NASCAR season,with older brother Kurt losinghis high-profile Sprint Cup rideat Penske Racing and Kyle tryingto recover from being parked formost of the weekend last fall atTexas Motor Speedway afterwrecking championship con-tender Ron Hornaday Jr. in thetruck race.

Neither brother has had muchto brag about in the first quarterof the current season, but lastweekend at RichmondInternational Raceway, that allchanged.

Kurt won Friday’s NationwideSeries race, giving brother Kylehis first Nationwide victory as acar owner. Then the next night,Kyle won the Capital City 400Sprint Cup race, going to VictoryLane for the first time since lastAugust at MichiganInternational Speedway.

On Saturday at Richmond, alate caution set up a round of pitstops, and Busch’s crew put himon the track ahead of TonyStewart, who appeared to havethe faster car. But once Buschwas out front, he motored away

to win the spring race atRichmond for the fourth straighttime, breaking a record he’d heldjointly with Richmond’s all-timewinner Richard Petty.

Busch said in his winner’sinterview that the Cup win as adriver felt more special than theNationwide victory as an owner,but both were big for the Buschbrothers, who have had to try toput their bad-boy days behindthem to move forward again in

NASCAR.“I think the biggest thing about

[the Nationwide victory] was justthat it’s something that I’m tryingto build and make successful, andit’s got my name on it, so we’redoing the best we can with thepeople we have and with whatwe’re doing there,” he said. “It’sjust a matter of working throughthe pitfalls sometimes, and work-ing through the challenges that lieahead … To see all of that come

together for not only myself but for[wife] Samantha and [generalmanager] Rick Ren and all thepeople that pour their heart andsoul into that place, it’s pretty spe-cial.”

Kurt, who now races in Cup forJames Finch’s single-car team,said the Nationwide win, whichcame after a close late-race duelwith Denny Hamlin, meant a lotto him and his brother.

“It’s huge for me and for thisteam,” he said. “This December,January, February has beenrough. To get on top, no matterwhat series it is in NASCAR,you’ve done something special fora day. It’s an interesting familyfeeling right now, because I’veraced for guys like [Roger]Penske, guys like [Jack] Roush …a guy named Busch owns thisrace car and it’s a little bit differ-ent feel.”

Interestingly, the Busch broth-ers head to this weekend’s racesat Talladega Superspeedway tiedin career Cup victories, with 24.

“It’s cool that we’re tied forwins like that,” Kyle Busch said.“It’s neat that we’re still racingaround here in the Sprint CupSeries, hopefully with many morewins that we can both achieve.”

NOTEBOOKEarnhardt closing points gap

Dale Earnhardt Jr.’ strong start to the 2012season continued at Richmond InternationalRaceway as he surged to second place at the fin-ish of the Capital City 400 and moved fromfourth to second place in the Sprint Cup stand-ings, just five points behind leader Greg Biffle,who struggled to an 18th-place finish.

“We were running about fifth all night andjust got lucky on thatrestart to be on the insideand get a couple spots,”Earnhardt said in his post-race interview. “We justkind of got lucky there atthe end on a couple ofthings to gain a couple ofextra spots.

“But we ran good. Wewere terrible last year atthis track and I really likerunning here, and I justwas curious as to why weweren’t performing as well. So it feels good to runall right here.”

Still, he said he didn’t feel like he and his No.88 team had momentum on their side as the cir-cuit heads to one of his best tracks, TalladegaSuperspeedway.

“I don’t think momentum is a real thing,” hesaid. “The team is confident. We’re feeling good.We feel like we’re competing well [and] reallyclose to winning a race.

“We ain’t really raced for a win yet and lostone, so I wouldn’t count [Richmond]. But we’regetting better at running the top 5 and top 10.We’ll just try to keep doing that. “

He said Talladega, with its restrictor-platerules and all the uncertainties that style of rac-ing brings, is just too hard to predict.

“There are too many variables going into racesat Talladega, whether you feel confident winningor not,” he said. “There’s just too much going onthere.”

Edwards: Less debris cautionsSaturday’s Capital City 400 at Richmond

International Raceway saw the return of the“debris” caution flags that hadn’t flown in severalrecent races, but the race did follow a growingtrend of wreck-free racing.

Before the race, several drivers weighed in onjust what’s going on in NASCAR these days.

Carl Edwards, in his weekly session withreporters, said he likes to see the races play outhowever they will, without the use of debris cau-tions to spice up the action.

“My opinion is that not every race has to be anexciting, dramatic, crazy bumper-to-bumper fin-ish,” he said. “If you just let them play out natu-rally, you will get those really great moments …Who knows what is going to happen? When weleft Daytona we weren’t complaining about alack of wrecks. I think it will be just fine.”

Edwards did agree with what many others aresaying when he pointed out that the current car,and the way it reacts aerodynamically, is a factor.

“NASCAR hates it when I say this, but I firm-ly believe that we should not be racing withdownforce, sideforce and all these aerodynamicdevices,” he said. “We do not need splitters on therace cars and giant spoilers.”

Edwards also said that drivers might be morecautious these days, since a crash or two in theregular season could knock them out of thechampionship-deciding Chase.

“It might be that some of this green flag rac-ing, and guys being more reserved, is that theyrealize that, right now, you can’t put yourself in ahole,” he said. “You can’t go out there and racelike you would like to sometimes, because this isreal important, this first 26 races, to get lockedin. Maybe there is some of that going on.”

Dr. Shipp Announces A NEW Way To See For Seniors

See near. See far. See in between.

Cataracts have become an increasingly common cause of decreased vision as our population ages and lives longer. Fortunately, cataract surgery is one of the saf-est and most effective surgeries available today, and for many patients it can be a life-changing experience. Until the recent FDA approval of Multifocal IOL implants, most people with cataracts received a lens replacement that only provided good distance vision. These patients still needed to continue wearing reading glasses to see up close. Today, patients have the option of Multifocal implants which can improve vision in a full range of distances, from near to far. This advanced lens is able to correct the common condition known as presbyopia. Presbyopia causes you to lose the ability to focus up close and occurs in most people after the age of 40 to 45. At Shipp Eye Clinic, we are helping cataract patients enjoy life with less dependence on glasses or contacts!

If you have cataracts and don’t want to be dependent on reading glasses or contacts, you now have a better option than a standard lens implant for your cataract surgery.
