St. Louis makes Bradford top pick
Red Wolves’ troublemaker Faulkner relishes his role for ASU BY MATTHEW V. ROBERSON SUN STAFF WRITER
BY BARRY WILNER AP FOOTBALL WRITER
NEW YORK (AP) — The Big 12, led by Oklahoma, kicked off a big party for itself at Radio City Music Hall in the first primetime NFL draft Thursday night. Tim Tebow had a grand time, too, breaking into the first round at No. 25 to Denver. The selection of the Florida quarterback, the mystery man of this draft, drew the loudest reaction — a mix of cheers and boos — from the audience. The Rockettes would have loved it, from the early dominance of the Big 12 to the show biz drama surrounding the Broncos’ choice of Tebow. Starting with quarterback Sam Bradford going to the St. Louis Rams, five of the top six picks were from the Big 12 — three of them Sooners. In all, nine first-rounders came from the conference. The Oklahoma junior became the eighth quarterback since 2001 taken atop the draft. He was immediately followed Thursday night by defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh of Nebraska, the AP Player of the Year; defensive tackle Gerald McCoy and offensive tackle Trent Williams, Bradford’s teammates with the Sooners. “That’s pretty cool because I know the Big 12 has been getting a lot of slack lately,” Bradford said. “People for some reason didn’t think that we played much football in the Big 12 and sure didn’t think we played much defense, so for two defensive tackles to go in the first three picks is a credit to the Big 12.” And what about the Sooners’ run at the top of the festivities? “It’s insane isn’t it?” McCoy said with a huge smile. “We can’t play football in the Big 12, but the first four picks went out the Big 12? Mmmmm — three of ’em from Oklahoma, by the way.” Bradford, the 2008 winner of the Heisman Trophy, joins a Rams team that was 1-15 last season and scored a league-low 175 points. The Rams cut incumbent Marc Bulger in the offseason. Bradford appeared in only three games in 2009, his junior year, before undergoing right shoulder surgery. His recovery has been so complete that the Rams didn’t hesitate to make him the future face of the franchise. An hour before the draft, Bradford, looking dapper in a gray suit, admitted he was nervous. “The butterflies are flying around right now,” he said. A little while later, he could relax — at least until he gets on the field behind the Rams’ weak offensive line. Detroit then chose Suh, considered the best defensive tackle prospect in more than a decade. He won the Lombardi, Bednarik and Nagurski trophies in 2009 and comes off a dominant Big 12 title game in which he had 12 tackles with 41⁄2 sacks. He was greeted by “SUH, SUH,” as he walked PLEASE SEE BRADFORD, B3

Arkansas State freshman Michael Faulkner has given the Red Wolves speed on the base paths and speed in the outfield this season. Faulkner turned down a lucrative offer after being draft-
JONESBORO — Michael Faulkner is always causing trouble. Then again, that’s his role at Arkansas State. Whether it’s drawing a walk, dribbling a slow roller on the infield or slapping a ball into the outfield for a hit, Faulkner has become quite the troublemaker for opponents in his first season on the diamond at ASU. The speedy center fielder has quickly earned the reputation as a pesky leadoff hitter who can cause all kinds of havoc if he reaches base safely. It’s a role Faulkner embraces. “I love being the leadoff guy,” said Faulkner, whose Red Wolves open a Sun Belt Conference weekend series with South Alabama tonight. “I’ve been a leadoff guy for six or seven years now, all the way up from middle school. I just like setting the tone for a game. I like batting first and getting a hit and putting pressure on the other team. I’ve always liked being able to set the tone.” A true freshman, Faulkner has started every game for Arkansas State and took over the leadoff spot in the second week of the season. He is among Arkansas State’s leaders in numerous areas, most of which have to do with his speed on the base paths. A left-handed hitter, Saundra Sovick | The Sun Faulkner is clearly ASU’s ed in the 21st round by the Oakland A’s fastest player, having in the amateur baseball draft last June. swiped a team-leading He currently leads Arkansas State in sto- 18 bases this season. He ranks third overall in the len bases, hits and runs scored. Sun Belt in steals, three
shy of South Alabama’s Taylor White, who leads the league with 21. Arkansas State coach Tommy Raffo said speed is Faulkner’s best asset but he’s growing into a solid all-around baseball player for the Red Wolves. “Mike brings a lot of tools to the baseball field, and obviously his running ability means a lot to us,” Raffo said. “He’s very well suited for the outfield, center field with that speed, too. He’s a first-year player, so he’s still learning the speed of the game. He really works to make himself a better player. I think the biggest thing for him is he has got to stay within himself at the plate to be successful.” Faulkner has been a base stealer for as long as he can remember. When he’s not on base, Faulkner is usually studying everything he can about a pitcher to gain an advantage. Once he’s on base, Faulkner likes to draw a few throws to make an opposing pitcher lose focus. That’s when the troublemaker in him turns it up a notch. “After they’ve tried to pick me off a couple of times, I’ll usually get a bigger lead just to irritate them,” Faulkner said. “I know they’re going to try and pick me off, but I’m just going to keep doing what I do and aggravate the pitcher. I don’t mind if he gets me dirty. We can wash clothes.” As a senior at Germantown High School in Memphis, Faulkner stole 28 bases. This year he’s PLEASE SEE FAULKNER, B3
McCauley earns win as JHS rallies by Wynne BY CORY CLARK SUN STAFF WRITER
JONESBORO — Jonesboro High School sophomore pitcher Robert McCauley got a big chance Thursday and made the most of it. The right-hander came on in relief and won his first-ever varsity game as the Hurricane came from behind to beat Wynne 6-4 Thursday at Woodland Field thanks to a 2-run home run from Jacob McDaniel in the bottom of the fifth inning. Before McDaniel’s mile-high bomb, the Hurricane (16-5) and Yellowjackets (10-8) went back and forth with Wynne seeming to be in control of the game as pitcher Caleb McNatt was able to keep the Hurricane offense in check. McCauley relieved Jonesboro starter Clay Williams in the third inning with the Hurricane trailing 3-2 and went the rest of the way as he shut down the Wynne offense, allowing two hits and one earned run in four innings of work. Franklin Kelley had a pair of hits for Jonesboro, while McDaniel and Bradyn Carson each finished with a hit and two RBIs, and Williams had a hit and an RBI. McNatt took the loss on the mound, allowing five runs on seven hits over five innings. At the plate for the Yellowjackets, Kenon Jumper had three hits and two RBIs, and Jonathan Lindsey had two hits and an RBI. Jonesboro coach Mark Dobson was very happy with the performance of his young pitcher.

Jonesboro’s Jordan Tedder attempts to slide into third base past Wynne’s Klayton Jumper during Thursday afternoon’s game at Woodland Field. “That’s his first varsity win, and he pitched really, really well,” Dobson said. “He did a good job of keeping us in the game and gave us an opportunity to come back and win. The Hurricane dropped its first two conference losses of the season earlier in the week at Jacksonville. “It is good to come back and get some wins,” he said. “We struggled early this week, and it is nice to come back out and get

back in the winning mode.” The Yellowjackets loaded the bases in the top of the first inning after already scoring twice, but Jonesboro’s Williams was able to get out of the inning with a strikeout as Wynne stranded three runners on base. “We’ve got to find ways to scratch runs across when we have opportunities,” Wynne coach Lionel Myers said. “We had some breakdowns defensively. We threw the ball away
a couple of times, and we seem to play catch-up all the time. You can’t do that against good teams. Jonesboro had the big hit with the 2-run home run, and that kind of took the winds out of our sails.” The Yellowjackets jumped on top 2-0 in the top of the first inning on RBI singles from Jonathan Lindsey and Hunter McCorkle before Jonesboro scored PLEASE SEE JHS, B3

Brewers bash Pirates 20-0 PITTSBURGH (AP) — Jim Edmonds, Ryan Braun and the Milwaukee Brewers went batty, piling up 25 hits and trouncing Pittsburgh 20-0 Thursday in the most lopsided loss in Pirates history. Milwaukee matched a club mark for margin of victory and set a record for its biggest shutout win. Prince Fielder hit his first home run of the season, and Edmonds, Braun and George Kottaras also connected — they were among 10 players with an RBI. The Brewers finished with 12 extra-base hits. Milwaukee led 10-0 after five innings, then scored six runs in the seventh and four more in the ninth. The rout came a day after the Brewers beat up Pittsburgh 8-0.
Rockies 2, Nationals 0 WASHINGTON (AP) — Colorado’s Ubaldo Jimenez followed up his nohitter by tossing 71⁄3 shutout innings, and Miguel Olivo and Ian Stewart hit solo homers for the first runs allowed this season by Washington’s Livan Hernandez. Overpowering at times, Jimenez (4-0) allowed five hits, struck out five and got 15 of his 22 outs via grounders while lowering his ERA to 0.95 ERA. He is responsible for half of the Rockies’ wins this season.
Phillies 8, Braves 3 ATLANTA (AP) — Jamie Moyer gave up no earned runs in six innings, and Philadelphia beat the weak-hitting Atlanta Braves to win the season’s first series between the NL East rivals. The Braves took a .227 team batting average into the game after being shut out 2-0 by Roy Halladay on Wednesday night. They had nine hits, including only four against the 47-year-old Moyer (2-1), who struck out four and walked two.

Jeff Francoeur broke an 0-for-24 slump with an RBI single in the Mets’ 4-run sixth, helped by second baseman Mike Fontenot’s error. Ike Davis had three hits and New York took three of four from the Cubs after dropping its first four series this season. Santana (2-1) allowed a run and eight hits in 61⁄3 innings. Francisco Rodriguez got five outs for his first save of the year.

Leake (1-0) was making his third professional start — all in the major leagues this year. He went seven innings and became the first Cincinnati starter to win this season. Jay Bruce hit a 2-run homer for the Reds, who came from behind twice for their seventh victory of the year.
Marlins 5, Astros 1 HOUSTON (AP) — Anibal Sanchez pitched effectively into the seventh inning, Cody Ross drove in two runs and Florida snapped Houston’s 4-game winning streak. Sanchez (1-1) allowed nine hits in 62⁄3 innings and struck out only one, but the Astros stranded eight runners and didn’t score until the seventh. Chris Leroux pitched a scoreless eighth and Leo Nunez struck out the side in the ninth.
Athletics 4, Yankees 2 OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Kurt Suzuki hit a 3-run homer and later grounded into the Yankees’ first triple play since 1968 as the Oakland Athletics stopped New York’s 6-game winning streak, 4-2 Thursday.
Dallas Braden (3-0) and Yankees star Alex Rodriguez got into a shouting match after the top of the sixth inning. Braden was upset that Rodriguez had cut across the pitcher’s mound while returning to first base after a foul ball, a supposed breach of baseball etiquette. Braden had to be restrained by manager Bob Geren after jawing with Rodriguez. Braden threw his glove against a wall and kicked a stack of paper cups when he went into the dugout.
Indians 8, Twins 1
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Mitch Talbot turned in another strong start for Cleveland, and the Indians finally got some hits in their victory over the Minnesota Twins. Talbot (2-1) followed his first major league win, a complete game last weekend against the Chicago White Sox, with six impressive innings. He held the Twins to two hits and no earned runs to keep them from sweeping the 3-game series.
Rays 10, White Sox 2
CHICAGO (AP) — Carlos Pena drove in four runs and the Rays took advantage of Jake Peavy’s wildness to beat Chicago and cap the winningest road trip in Tampa Bay history. The Rays, who were 3249 on the road last year, have never finished a season with a winning record away from Tropicana Field. But they went 9-1 on their first trip this year, outscoring their opponents (Baltimore, Boston and Chicago) by a total of 69-23.
Rangers 3, Red Sox 0
BOSTON (AP) — C.J. Wilson pitched 4-hit ball into the seventh inning for his first career win as a starter, helping Texas snap a 6-game losing streak with a victory over Boston. Nelson Cruz had two hits and stole two bases — the Rangers’ 13th and 14th in as many tries in the series — and David Murphy also had two hits.
Raiders raise money with lift-a-thon BY ANTHONY CHILDLESS SUN STAFF WRITER
JONESBORO — Nettleton High School’s new head football coach Jay Murphree is hoping a first-ever fund-raising event will not only generate funds for his program but give Raiders fans reason to be excited about the coming gridiron campaign. The varsity football team hosted a lift-a-thon Thursday night at Raider Gym. It had originally been slated for the football complex, but a threat of rain moved things indoors. “Our players attempted new max lifting on bench press and power cleans,” Murphree, hired to head the program earlier this year, said. “The kids have collected donations and gathered sponsorspledges for the amount of weight they lift.” The end goal, he said, is to make the event an annual thing “as one of our
major fund-raisers for the year.” Murphree circulated an e-mail district-wide to seek pledges or donations, as well as to encourage people to attend. “This is something we’ve done at other schools I’ve coached at, and it’s been successful,” he said. Proceeds are to be used for Nettleton’s summer program, including its 7on-7 and team camps. One of the fundraiser’s highlights was a weightlifting competition featuring 6-person teams from NHS and the junior high campus, including administrators, teachers and other staff. NHS Principal and Athletic Director Darrell Dover signed up for a team and even donned “appropriate” gear for the event. The winning team receives a trophy to be displayed in their building until the next year’s competition occurs. “The fact that Coach Do-
ver promised to wear his spandex weightlifting suit was worth the price of admission alone,” Murphree said. Dover said he was excited about the event. “It’s a great thing for our program,” the Raiders’ former long-time head coach said. Murphree planned to use the lift-a-thon to measure his players’ conditioning and strength, given that they were at the pivotal 8week mark when coaches take a look at where athletes stand. More than anything else, though, he plans to push the fund-raising bar higher next time around and noted that it means being able to cover some expenses without having to use more district funds. “We’ve got 60 or so kids out for football,” Murphree said. “We feel good about where we are.” anthony@jonesborosun.com

ASU wins SBC tennis opener
NEW ORLEANS — The ninth-seeded Arkansas State women’s tennis team posted a 4-0 sweep over eighth-seeded Florida Atlantic on Thursday afternoon in the first round of the Sun Belt Conference Tennis Championship. “We are very happy to have beaten FAU, especially since they beat the sixth seed Louisiana-Lafayette and the seventh seed Middle Tennessee earlier in the season,” ASU head coach Marcia Williams. said “As a team, we have played better our last two matches, and I hope we can play even better tomorrow against Florida International.” The Red Wolves (8-8) took the doubles point to open the match, winning at No. 1 and 3. Elne’ Barnard and Rone’ van Wyk defeated Justine Humair and Cassie Bergeson, while Menna Kamal teamed up with Jenny Herring to top Natasha Phillips and Natasha Basma. Both sets were won by a score of 8-3. ASU posted three singles wins to take the match victory before the Owls (9-11) had a chance to rally. Herring recorded a 6-2, 6-2 win over Natalia Totevska at No. 2. Ioana Teu defeated Basma 6-3, 6-0 at No. 4, and Maria Alemán topped Virginia Augustin 6-1, 6-3 at No. 6. The Red Wolves will be back on the courts this morning at 11:30 to take on top-seeded Florida International in a second-round matchup.
ASU doubles team honored
NEW ORLEANS — The Arkansas State women’s tennis doubles team of sophomore Elne’ Barnard and senior Rone’ van Wyk was named to the All-Sun Belt Conference team the league announced Thursday evening. “These girls have been an excellent doubles team for us all spring,” ASU head coach Marcia Williams said. “It is a great accomplishment to make allconference, and I’m very proud of them both.” Barnard and van Wyk hold a 12-2 record on the season and are riding a 5match win streak, playing solely at No. 1. The South African natives have posted three separate win streaks of four or more matches this season. Van Wyk earned SBC Player of the Week earlier in the season and boasts a 10-4 singles record. She is also riding a 5-match win streak at No. 3. Barnard sits at 7-8 in singles action, playing at No. 1 in all but two matches this season.
Valley View sweeps in soccer
JONESBORO — The Valley View Lady Blazers won their final regular-season soccer game as they beat Conway Christian 6-3 Thursday at Joe Mack Campbell Park. The Valley View boys later completed the sweep with a 4-0 win that secured the 4A-3 conference title. Mo Patton and Taylor Tanner each scored three goals for the Lady Blazers (11-5), and Natalie Smith, Whitney Miller and Gabi Confer each had assists. Brooke Bowers, Adi Vardell and Katlyn Broadaway combined for five saves in goal.
Valley View opens state tournament play on April 30 at 2 p.m. at Burns Park in Little Rock. In the boys’ game, Jordan Howard scored twice and had an assist to lead the Blazers to victory. Ty Teague and Aleks Jaksic also scored for Valley View (12-4, 4-0 4A-3) as Jaksic and Jacob Vickery each had an assist. Torin Corty had five saves in goal for the Blazers.
ICC’s Harmon signs with HSU BROCKWELL — Izard County Consolidated standout Rachel Harmon signed a national letter of intent to play golf at Henderson State University on Tuesday. Harmon was the Class 1A state medalist in 2006, finished third in 2007 and 2009, and placed sixth in 2008. She was named allstate all four years, qualifying for Overalls three of her four years while leading Izard County to state runner-up finishes in 2007 and 2009 and third-place finishes in 2006 and 2008. Harmon Harmon was also a 4-time district medalist and a 3-time regional medalist for the Lady Cougars. She was the medalist in the inaugural Cougar Invitational Golf Tournament this past year and competes in ASGA, PGA and USJGT tournaments during the summer, where she has won or placed high in several of those tournaments as well. Henderson State is a NCAA Division II school that competes in the Gulf South Conference and is coached by Blake McAfee.
Bohn shoots 65 to take lead AVONDALE, La. (AP) — Jason Bohn took advantage of calm morning conditions Thursday in the Zurich Classic, shooting a 7-under 65 to take a 2-stroke lead over Jason Dufner, John Senden, Jeff Overton, Greg Owen and 2006 champion Chris Couch. Bohn had eight birdies and one bogey — when he tried to reach the par-5 18th green in two stokes and ended up in the water — at Pete Dye-designed TPC Louisiana. “I was playing aggressively on the last hole,” Bohn said. “If I had to do it all over again, I’d hit the exact same shot.” Every time he had a chance for a birdie, he made it, Bohn said. “And I made a couple of par-saving putts,” said Bohn, who had 26 putts. Bohn was just one stroke off the course record of 64 set by Kyle Reifers in 2007. Bohn’s score held up easily as the wind came up in the afternoon and made the course play much tougher. “There is not much coverage out here on this golf course,” Dufner said. “It’s pretty open. So if it can get windy, that will make play a lot more difficult.” Five players — former British Open champion David Duval, Charles Howell III, Kevin Sutherland, 2002 winner K.J. Choi and Troy Merritt — opened with 68s. Defending champion Jerry Kelly shot a 71.

junior, he batted .450 and drove in 27 runs as a senior at Germantown. The Oakland A’s liked him so much they drafted Faulkner in the 21st round, using the 663rd pick to try and lure him to go pro. The A’s offered Faulkner a $50,000 signing bonus, four years of paid tuition and expenses to the college of his choice to play. But Faulkner believed Arkansas State was a better fit. “The main reason I chose to come play at Arkansas State was to make myself better as a person and to perfect all my baseball skills,” Faulkner said. “I came here to help get me faster, help me throw harder and help perfect my game. Maybe I can learn to steal more
bases here. I feel like I’ve learned a lot so far.” Faulkner also received Division I offers from Ohio Valley Conference members Tennessee Tech and Jacksonville State. But it was Raffo’s style and time as a player and assistant coach at Mississippi State that most intrigued Faulkner. “We run a lot here,” Faulkner said. “I know Tommy Raffo loves his speed, and I knew I would have more chances to steal bases here.” Faulkner’s speed has also made him an important addition to Arkansas State’s defense. With his ability to cover so much ground, Faulkner can make a difficult play look routine, make a spectacular play look difficult, and make an impossible play look possible. Several times this season Faulkner has chased down balls in the gap or over his head to save a run or two from scoring. “He’s had some great jumps on the ball,” Raffo said. “He’s also had some poor jumps, but he’s so fast he’s been able to out-run them at times and make up for them. A lot of times you might not even see a mistake because he makes it look so easy.” At the same time, his offense seems to motivate the Red Wolves. “We really do feed off his energy,” Garcia said. “Mike has a lot of energy, and when he starts the game with a base hit it can get contagious. He can get on base and create problems with his speed, steal a base or something. His play is definitely contagious.” mroberson@jonesborosun.com
BRADFORD: Broncos take Tebow with 25th pick FROM PAGE B1 onto the stage holding a Lions jersey. “He made it an easy pick for us,” Lions coach Jim Schwartz said. “He’s not just a 1-year wonder. He’s strong. He’s good versus the run. He’s good versus the pass. He’s very intelligent.” McCoy should boost a Tampa defense that once was feared but flopped last season when it yielded 400 points. He displayed his Buccaneers jersey to the crowd and pumped his fist high in the air as “Pirates of the Caribbean” played on the loudspeakers. The Big 12 bonanza kept rolling when Washington took Williams, an All-America, to fill a huge hole at tackle left by the retirement of Chris Samuels. Williams engulfed commissioner Roger Goodell in a hefty bear hug onstage. Tennessee safety Eric Berry, also an All-American, went fifth to Kansas City, breaking the Big 12 stranglehold. Berry, noted for his versatility, also has the potential to play cornerback. Then it was back to the Big 12 for Oklahoma State offensive tackle Russell Okung, who went to Seattle, where perennial Pro Bowl blocker Walter Jones might retire. Florida cornerback Joe Haden was chosen by Cleveland, followed by Alabama inside linebacker Rolando McClain to Oakland. Both were All-Americans last season. That also gave the Southeastern Conference three picks in the first eight, showing how highly the NFL regarded those two conferences. Clemson running back C.J. Spiller went ninth to Buffalo, prompting plenty of “Oh, no” responses from Giants fans in the packed theater. McClain and Spiller were considered main targets for the Giants. The surprises and the swaps then began. Jacksonville took California defensive tackle Tyson Alualu, projected as a second-rounder by many. San Francisco then moved up two spots, dealing for Denver’s pick to get Rutgers offensive tackle Anthony Davis. San Diego, desperate for a running back after cutting LaDainian Tomlinson, jumped

The Chargers took Fresno State’s Ryan Mathews, the nation’s leading rusher at 150.7 yards per game. The Broncos then sent the 13th overall choice they got from the 49ers to Philadelphia, which grabbed Michigan defensive end Brandon Graham. That made four trades involving three consecutive picks. Seattle added Texas safety Earl Thomas to Okung. Jason Pierre-Paul, who played just one season at South Florida after two years at a junior college, went to the Giants — a choice that generally drew cheers from the blue-clad New York fans in the crowd. Georgia Tech defensive end Derrick Morgan went to the Titans, the 49ers added Idaho guard Mike Iupati to Davis in a strong effort to solidify their offensive line, and Pittsburgh went for center Maurkice Pouncey of Florida. Missouri linebacker Sean Weatherspoon went to Atlanta, followed by Alabama cornerback Kareem Jackson to Houston and tight end Jermaine Gresham of Oklahoma, who was selected by Cincinnati.
That made four Sooners and eight players from the Big 12 in the first 22 picks. Tebow was the third Florida player chosen — and by far the most controversial selection Thursday night. A winner for four years with the Gators, including two national championships, his unorthodox style and strange throwing motion made for widely divided opinions on him. Not, apparently, for Broncos coach Josh McDaniels, who hopes he found the long-term replacement for Jay Cutler. In his rookie season as a head coach, McDaniels feuded with Cutler a year ago and traded him to Chicago. Super Bowl MVP Drew Brees announced the champion Saints’ pick to finish off the showcase, Florida State cornerback Patrick Robinson. The swift round lasted 3 hours, 28 minutes. St. Louis has the opening pick of the second round tonight, but there could be plenty of bartering ahead as teams ponder all the talent left, including Texas defensive end/ linebacker Sergio Kindle, Southern Cal safety Taylor Mays and Notre Dame quarterback Jimmy Clausen.
JHS: Hurricane bounces back for comeback victory FROM PAGE B1 a run in the bottom of the inning on a sacrifice fly from Williams as Wynne led 2-1 after one inning of play. Wynne tacked on another run in the top of the second on an RBI single from Jumper for a 3-1 lead but Jonesboro added a run in the bottom of the second on an RBI triple from Bradyn Carson to cut the lead to 3-2. Jonesboro knotted the game at 3 in the bottom
of the third as Kelley singled and was replaced by pinch-runner Jordan Tedder, who stole second and came all the way home thanks to a pair of Wynne throwing errors. Jumper added another RBI on a single in the top of the fourth as the Yellowjackets regained the lead at 4-3. Following McDaniel’s home run in the fifth, Bradyn Carson got the final run home when his sacrifice fly in the sixth scored Colby Inboden for a 6-5

got his eyes on stealing at least 29, which would tie the Arkansas State school record. So far this season, Faulkner has been successful in stealing in all but two attempts. He’s been thrown out twice and has not been picked off to date. The key to thieving a base, according to Faulkner, is knowing the opponent. “I mainly focus on the pitcher’s body language, his feet, his glove or if he turns or slide-steps,” Faulkner explained. “When I’m in the dugout, I just sit and stare at the pitcher to see if he tips something or has a certain look system to first — anything to give me an advantage. When the pitcher doesn’t think I’m looking, I really am.” Base stealing isn’t the only ability Faulkner brings to the Red Wolves. Prior to last week’s series at Evansville, Faulkner was leading the team in hitting. He’s currently tied for third in hitting with a .358 average, leads the team with 54 hits, and has scored a team-high 37 runs. He also has walked 21 times and shares the team lead with seven sacrifice hits. “Mike’s really been important to this team,” ASU second baseman Giovanni Garcia said. “He can do so many things, get hits, steal a base and score runs, run fly balls down. He’s made a big difference for us, been a big part of things.” Coming out of high school, Faulkner was considered a solid prospect by several Major League Baseball organizations. After batting .431 as a

Cavs, Lakers fall
CHICAGO (AP) — LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers can forget about sweeping the Bulls out of the playoffs. Derrick Rose scored 31 points, Kirk Hinrich added 27 and Chicago hung to beat the top-seeded Cavaliers 108-106 Thursday night in Game 3 of their first-round series after watching a 21-point lead dwindle to one. James scored 13 of his 39 points in the fourth quarter but also committed some turnovers down the stretch. Even so, the Cavaliers were within 107-106 after Mo Williams nailed a 3-pointer with 3.8 seconds left. They immediately fouled Chicago’s Luol Deng, who hit the first free throw but missed the second. Cleveland’s Anthony Parker got the rebound and raced up the right side but missed a three at the buzzer, and the Bulls escaped with the win.

NBA PLAYOFFS | City, lifting the Thunder to a 101-96 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday night. Durant and Russell Westbrook scored 22 of the final 23 for the Thunder, including every point during a 10-2 surge that put Oklahoma City ahead to stay. The top-seeded Lakers got back within 98-96 on Kobe Bryant’s driving layup with 13.5 seconds left, but the Thunder closed it out from the foul line to pull within 2-1 in the best-of-7 series. Bryant scored 24 points and Pau Gasol had 17 points and 15 rebounds.
FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas sophomore Courtney Fortson signed with an agent Wednesday, ending any speculation the guard might return for his junior season with the Razorbacks and ending a whirlwind 2-year career at Arkansas. Fortson signed with Charles Briscoe of Atlanta, according to press releases from Briscoe’s BP Sports Management, the same firm which represents Arkansas seniors Mike Washington and Stef Welsh. Fortson led Arkansas with 17.9 points per game last season and led the Southeastern Conference with 5.4 assists per game. He scored a career-high 35 points in a win over Mississippi State on Jan. 28, in which he scored a school-record 33 points in the second half. Fortson, a Montgomery, Ala., native, was named SEC Player of the Week on Feb. 8.
Valley View 12, Manila 2 JONESBORO — Tyler Smith got the win on the mound and drove in two runs at the plate to lead Valley View past Manila 12-2 in five innings Thursday.

Rector 6-12, Cross County 2-7 RECTOR — Led by Brittany Sharp’s 7-for-7 day, Rector swept a doubleheader from Cross County Thursday afternoon in 2A-3 softball. Sharp got a hit in every plate appearance and had five runs batted in to lead Rector to a 6-2 win in the first game and a 12-7 win in the nightcap. Sharp went 3-for-3 with a single, double and triple and two RBIs in the opener, then went 4-for4 with two doubles and three RBIs. Also in the first game, Rhoda Classen went 2-for-3 with a triple and three RBIs. Pitcher Kelly Fowler (4-4) earned the win for Rector (11-6, 7-5 2A-3) in the first game, striking out eight and allowing one earned run on two hits. Amanda Bradford (5-3) pitched the second game for Rector, striking out two and giving up four earned runs on six hits. Kaitelyn Essman went 2-for-3 with a double and three RBIs in the second game.
“Courtney was one of the most explosive guards in the country this year,” Briscoe said in the release. “His secondhalf performance against Mississippi State speaks for itself.” But Fortson had as much trouble off the court as he had success on it. He was suspended for the first 14 games of the 2009-10 season for what Arkansas coach John Pelphrey described as both a violation of team rules and time off to tend to personal matters. He was also suspended two separate times during his freshman season, in which he was named to the SEC’s All-Freshman Team. Fortson’s decision to forgo his final two seasons of eligibility comes as little surprise. He had announced on Sunday he would test the 2010 NBA draft without signing an agent. Under that scenario he would have had until May 8 to withdraw his name and return to school.
LEPANTO — Heather Prince tossed a no-hitter as Marmaduke blanked East Poinsett County 9-0 Thursday in senior high softball. Prince (12-10) struck out four and walked one to get the win in the circle for the Lady Greyhounds (15-11, 6-5 2A-2). Shelly Finley went 3-for4 at the plate for Marmaduke, and Anna Best had two hits.
West Memphis 1, Wynne 0 WEST MEMPHIS— Shelly Joe Fenter and Claire Clark put on quite a pitching display Thursday but in the end it was Fenter and West Memphis who slipped past Wynne 1-0 in nine innings. The Lady Blue Devils managed just one hit off Clark in nine innings of work as she struck out 13 and allowed one unearned run. Fenter struck out 16 to earn the win in the circle for West Memphis.

Home sales jump; jobless claims fall BY ALAN ZIBEL AP BUSINESS WRITER
WASHINGTON (AP) — The economy is improving, with home sales up, jobless claims down and inflation tame. Yet there are concerns the economic rebound won’t get much juice from the housing market, which is being fueled by government tax breaks. Sales of previously occupied homes grew by nearly 7 percent last month, more than expected, the National Association of Realtors said Thursday. It was a welcome sign after three months of declines, and a solid kickoff to what’s expected to be a strong spring selling season. Nevertheless, many analysts caution that the housing rebound could fade in the second half of the year. They predict a flood of low-priced foreclosures will hit the market and push down prices in a destabilizing “double dip.” Another threat to the U.S. economic recovery is fallout from the Greek debt crisis. On Thursday, Europe’s statistics agency found that Greece’s budget deficit last year was larger than previously thought, which may push the country to seek emergency loans. So far, “the recovery looks like it will continue,” said Jay Feldman, senior economist with Credit Suisse. “We don’t see another recession.” Underscoring that view, the government reported Thursday that new claims for unemployment benefits fell by 24,000 to a seasonally adjusted 456,000,
the Labor Department said. And in a separate report, the government said wholesale prices rose 0.7 percent last month. But excluding volatile food and energy costs, prices rose only 0.1 percent, which means there is little risk of inflation. Speaking in lower Manhattan, President Barack Obama said the economy is recovering in what he called “the fastest turnaround in growth in nearly three decades.” The Obama administration says its policies have helped stop the housing freefall. The government is offering tax credits to homebuyers and trying to stem foreclosures by paying incentives to lenders who rework loans for troubled borrowers. The government is offering an $8,000 credit for first-time buyers and $6,500 for current homeowners who buy and move into another property. To qualify for these tax incentives, buy-

Emissions often underestimated
HOUSTON (AP) — The nation’s oil and chemical plants are spewing a lot more pollution than they report to the Environmental Protection Agency — and the EPA knows it. But the federal agency has yet to adopt more accurate, higher-tech measuring methods that have been available for years. Significant changes will not be seen for at least two more years, even though an internal EPA watchdog called for improvements in 2006 and some of the more sophisticated measuring devices have been used in Europe since the 1990s. Records, scientific studies and interviews by The Associated Press suggest pollution from petrochemical plants is at least 10 times greater than what is reported to the government and
the public. Some European countries employ lasers, solar technology and remote sensors to measure air pollution, while the U.S. relies to a large degree on estimates derived from readings taken by plant employees using handheld “sniffer” devices that check for leaks in pumps and valves. The failure to get a true assessment of industrial emissions hinders attempts to monitor and regulate public health and air quality. And the problem is seen as especially urgent in oil centers such as Houston, where plants line the city’s Ship Channel and nearby residents are ordered to stay inside many times each year for their own safety when the plants belch high levels of toxic substances such as benzene. “Emissions, we do be-
Stocks recover after speech NEW YORK (AP) — The stock market recovered from early losses and closed modestly higher Thursday after President Barack Obama’s speech on financial reform contained no unpleasant surprises. The Dow Jones industrial average rose about 9 points after being down about 108. Broader indexes also turned higher. The market fell sharply early in the day as Greece’s debt problems worsened and on fears that Obama would advocate tough restrictions on banks. When he didn’t, stocks recovered. Prices also got a boost from a jump in sales of existing homes last month. In a speech in New York, Obama said the economy is recovering quickly but the progress needs to be felt more deeply among the millions of unemployed Americans. He has blamed Wall Street for helping push the country into recession. Obama gave a speech in support of his efforts to pass legislation that would overhaul financial markets. The Senate could debate the financial overhaul bill next week. The House has already passed its own version. The Dow rose 9.37, or 0.1 percent, to 11,134.29. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 2.73, or 0.2 percent, to 1,208.67, while the Nasdaq composite index rose 14.46, or 0.6 percent, to 2,519.07. Bond prices fell, lifting yields.

A crew works on a new home in Omaha, Neb., on Tuesday. ers must have a signed contract complete by the end of next week and must complete the sale by the end of June. Nearly 1.8 million households have used the credit at a cost of $12.6 billion, according to the Internal Revenue Service. Scrambling to get in before the April 30 deadline, buyers pushed up March’s sales pace to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.35 million, the highest since December. Analysts had forecast sales would increase to 5.28 million. “You have buyers who have been looking and looking at properties and realizing that it’s almost too late,” said Kathi McLeod, sales manager for Windermere Real Estate in Boise, Idaho. “They’re really scrambling and jumping into deals.” But critics contend the admin-
istration’s policies will do little but postpone the pain. They say the government shouldn’t be providing a subsidy to buyers who would have acted anyway. And so far, the government’s foreclosure prevention effort hasn’t made a dent. Home prices could fall another 10 to 20 percent, warns Dean Baker, co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research, a liberal Washington think-tank. “These policies aren’t going to have much effect,” in the long run, he said, adding that, “Why would we want to keep prices up so that some sucker can come in and pay a bubbleinflated price?” Indeed, there are already signs of weakness. A government index of home prices, also released Thursday, declined 0.2 percent in February, the third-

lieve, have been underestimated in general,” a top EPA air quality official, Peter Tsirigotis, acknowledged recently. Asked why it has taken so long to modernize the measuring methods, he said: “That, I don’t know.” Although U.S. oil and chemical companies have criticized some of the high-tech measuring devices, complaining they do not yield a full and accurate picture, industry representatives say they will embrace technologies that work and are affordable. Under the federal Clean Air Act, plants must bear the cost of pollution-moni-

toring equipment. And the newer, high-tech devices could easily run a plant hundreds of thousands of dollars. Also, more accurate measuring devices could lead to bigger fines against industrial polluters and force them to pay for cleaner technology. John Bosch, a chemical engineer who retired from the EPA last year, attributed the delays to the oil and gas industry’s lobbying muscle and resistance to change inside the EPA. “They have to update the way they do this, but there are many forces against that, political and economic,” he said.
Executive to testify before lawmakers
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Goldman Sachs trader at the center of fraud charges filed by the Securities and Exchange Commission will testify before a Senate subcommittee next week, the panel announced Thursday. Fabrice Tourre, who was named along with Goldman & Co. in the charges filed last week, will testify Tuesday before the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, the panel said. The hearing is the fourth in a series examining the causes of the financial crisis. It also will include testimony from Goldman chief executive officer Lloyd Blankfein, chief financial officer David
It’s a Great Time To Buy or Refinance
Viniar and four other current and former Goldman executives. The SEC charged that Tourre marketed an investment that officials say was designed to lose value. He failed to tell investors that the mortgage securities in the deal were selected by a hedge fund that was betting they would fail, the agency alleges. The SEC complaint quotes from an e-mail Tourre sent in January 2007 in which he bragged about being the “only potential survivor” of a forthcoming financial meltdown. Tourre’s lawyer declined Thursday to comment on the matter.

straight monthly drop. Nationally, the median sales price in March was $170,700, nearly unchanged from a year earlier, the National Association of Realtors said. Despite warnings that the market will worsen, real estate agents are seeing business boom this spring. “When people are optimistic about everything, then they are going to spend money, and that can only help the economy,” said Mike Bowman, president of a Century 21 agency in Grapevine, Texas. In the Orlando, Fla., area, some homes near Walt Disney World that once sold for $300,000 are now selling for around $90,000, said real estate agent Dana Hall. Buyers, she said, “are getting steals.” Nationally, sales are up 18 percent from their low in early 2009, but are still down 26 percent from their peak in fall 2005. Last month’s sales rose in every region, surging more than 7 percent in the Midwest and South, 6.6 percent in the West and 6 percent in the Northeast.
Bank bailout opposition popular in both parties WASHINGTON (AP) — If there’s any election-year support in the Senate for future bailouts of the big banks on Wall Street, it isn’t immediately apparent. Instead, President Barack Obama and his Democratic allies compete daily with Republicans for the title of opponent in chief, and six months before midterm elections the fate of legislation to regulate the financial industry remains clouded. Democratic legislation “not only allows for taxpayer-funded bailouts of Wall Street banks; it institutionalizes them,” Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky said recently. Obama responded a few days later in his weekly radio and Internet address, accusing McConnell and another top Republican of meeting with Wall Street executives to discuss ways to block the legislation. Not long afterward, he said, they made “the cynical and deceptive assertion that reform would somehow enable future bailouts when he knows that it would do just the opposite.” By Wednesday, 10 days later, Republicans and Democrats involved in negotiations said they had made progress toward a compromise bill that could command support on both sides of the aisle. They released no details, though, and Democrats held out the possibility of forcing a test vote on Monday. At stake in the legislation is the extent to which the government will tighten its control over large banks following the near-collapse of the economy. The regulation of derivatives, credit default swaps, reserve requirements and other items understood scarcely at all by many consumers remains to be settled. If the subject matter is complex, the political subtext is evident. McConnell won a new term in 2008 after a campaign spent explaining his unpopular vote for TARP, the bailout program that former President George W. Bush supported as his administration neared an end. Obama also backed the legislation, but that didn’t stop the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee from running ads in the fall of 2008 attacking the Republican Party leader for his vote. The legislation is part of Obama’s pre-election agenda at the tail end of the worst recession in decades, with unemployment at or near double digits in much of the country and public mistrust of government spiking in a recent Pew survey. Majority Democrats fear a significant setback in November that could hamper Obama’s ability to advance his agenda for the next two years. Republicans sense the opportunity for a comeback.
Arkansas Senator seeks political advantage The Senate Agriculture Committee approved legislation on Wednesday to restrict banks’ ability to trade financial products such as corn futures or stock options that rely on the value of underlying investments. Companies use these so-called derivatives to hedge against risks. Sen. Blanche Lincoln, D-Ark., who chairs the committee and faces a primary challenge next month, immediately sought political advantage. The panel’s action marked a “significant step toward bringing real reform to our nation’s financial markets, providing the transparency and accountability that the American people deserve,” she said.

Springsteen receives heritage award BY KILEY ARMSTRONG ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER
NEW YORK (AP) — Everyone knows he was born in the USA, but it was Bruce Springsteen’s European immigrant roots — and his family’s 110-year American dream — that were celebrated on Thursday. Accompanied by his proud mother and aunts — the women who “provided me with place” and “filled my family and all of my work with great meaning” — the
know where you came from,” Springsteen said. Springsteen’s maternal great-grandmother, Raffaela Zerilli, arrived at Ellis Island from Vico Equense, Italy, on Oct. 3, 1900, with five kids in tow. “I docked at Ellis Island in a city of light and spires,” their famous descendant later wrote in his song “American Land,” a story not unlike their own. They joined her husband, Raffaele, in Manhattan’s West Village. One of those kids, An-
rocker from New Jersey received an Ellis Island Family Heritage Award. The Statue of LibertyEllis Island Foundation, Inc. presents the award to immigrants or their descendants “who have made a major contribution to the American experience.” Also honored were investment banker Peter G. Peterson, Avon Chairman and CEO Andrea Jung, and NBA AllStar Dikembe Mutombo. “You can’t really know who you are and where you’re going unless you

87, after being honored at the Ellis Island Family Heritage Awards on Thursday on Ellis Island in New York.
The Springsteens raised their three kids in New Jersey. One of them was a son. When Bruce was 16, his mom borrowed money to buy him a guitar — an event he later chronicled in a tender tribute, “The Wish.” He taught himself how to play it — and went on to sell more than 120 million albums worldwide — including “We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions — American Land,” released in 2001.
The title cut, “American Land,” is a raucous, gritty pantheon of immigrant pluck and pride. Adele Springsteen, now 85, who worked as a legal secretary for 47 years, went on to dance onstage with her son in New Jersey and Italy. Her son — the selfdescribed former high school outcast — played the Super Bowl halftime show and President Barack Obama’s inauguration.

DEAR ABBY: I have been overly neat since I was in middle school. I am now in college and feel I have reached the breaking point because I’m such a neat freak. I love having everything neat and tidy, but I now spend less time being a 22-year-old and more time cleaning, scrubbing and organizing. I can’t sleep if I know there is clutter somewhere in the apartment. I have passed up going out with friends if my apartment isn’t perfect. Ev-

erything has a place and a label. It’s getting tiring because I realize I haven’t had any good wholesome fun in a long time. I wish I could relax and be OK with clutter like everyone else, instead of wasting my life cleaning. Any advice? — Overly Organized In Texas DEAR OVERLY Abigail ORGANIZED: Van Buren | Yes, I do. March yourself to the student health center and discuss this with a counselor there. When the compulsion to have your apartment “perfect” trumps your ability to enjoy your life, it’s time to accept that you have gone from neat to obsessive. There is treatment for the problem, and once it begins you will be able to relax and let go of your anxiety. So please don’t wait to get the help you need. DEAR ABBY: I’m a 20-yearold female who has been dating my boyfriend, “Will,” for three years. Our long-distance relationship was going along just fine until the topic of his 21st birthday came up recently. Will mentioned in passing that he’s planning on going to a strip club with friends to celebrate this momentous birthday. Will says he just likes to look at women, that all men do and it’s completely fine. He didn’t seem to care how I felt about it. His mind was already made up. He wants me to be more accepting of who he is, but it turns my stomach to think of him at a strip club. Abby, is a young man in a committed relationship going to a strip club to drink and view naked women “normal”? Should I not take this so personally? Or am I right to see this as a lack of commitment to me? — Offended In Fort Collins, Colo. DEAR OFFENDED: If your boyfriend had attempted to hide his plans from you, or if he was planning on frequenting strip clubs alone and often, I’d say you should feel threatened. But he was open about going out to celebrate his “momentous” birthday with his friends — and plenty of women have been known to visit clubs with male dancers. So calm down. This has nothing to do with his “commitment” to you. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

After ash cloud, uncertainty for airline industry BY SLOBODAN LEKIC AP AVIATION WRITER
BRUSSELS (AP) — Thousands of flights are crisscrossing Europe, but things are far from normal: The cloud of volcanic ash and the nearly weeklong shutdown of air traffic have added another element of uncertainty to the hassles of flying. There has been debate over the correct response by airlines and governments to the ash even as the world watches Iceland for any signs of another big eruption. Just as the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and other attempts to blow up planes heralded a new era of ultra-tight security at airports, the eruption of the Eyjafjallajokull volcano that grounded much of Europe could prove to be a game-changer in the history of aviation — or at least keep things extremely unsettled for a long time. Some people are saying
they’ll think twice about taking a plane if trains — slower but more reliable — are available instead. Harry Howelber, a 28year-old telecommunications operator in Paris, said: “I’d just be afraid of flying into a cloud.� Experts noted the profound psychological impact the ash cloud has had on travelers. “There have been a number of occasions when air travel has been impacted by people’s fears of terrorist events or wars,� said David Henderson, spokesman for the Association of European Airlines. “But it’s rare for natural phenomena to cause the same reaction.� Travel industry observers, however, do not believe the volcano will affect the way Americans travel to Europe. “I don’t think they’ll be frightened of flying,� said longtime guidebook writer Arthur Frommer. “Look how fast we

the airspace closure due to the volcanic ash cloud that came from Iceland.
Transport Association noted that passenger numbers rebounded several years after 2001. Frommer said he and his wife are about to
book tickets for a trip to Scotland. “Here I am planning to go to Europe on Aug. 16, and it never once crossed my mind,� he added.
Rudy Maxa, host of public television’s travel show “Rudy Maxa’s World,� agreed that the disruption wouldn’t affect flight bookings, particularly if people weren’t personally affected, because Americans always want to travel to Europe. “I think it’s really a oneoff. I don’t think it will be a game-changer,� Maxa said. Adam Anderson, public relations director of Expedia.com, said the site “saw a (not unexpected) spike in cancellations for the week of April 15-20� — the week the eruption began. “We have not, however, seen a correlative dropoff in bookings to the top 20 European destinations, when examined on a week-over-week basis,� he said. “There was a drop in London bookings, but not elsewhere. So the net is that the issue seems to have impacted existing flights, but not new ones.�
Iraq investigating prison abuse claims

A Pace College student in a gas mask “smells� a magnolia blossom in City Hall Park on Earth Day, April 22, 1970, in New York.
Growing from rebel roots, Earth Day now mainstream WASHINGTON (AP) — There was no green movement yet and little talk of global warming. Instead, the original Earth Day 40 years ago emphasized “ecology� and goals like cleaning up pollution and litter — along with a more anti-establishment vibe than today. “Welcome, sulfur dioxide, hello, carbon monoxide,� a woman sang from the 1968 countercultural Broadway hit, “Hair,� at a rally in Philadelphia that day. Across the country, activists donned gas masks or spread out in grassy parks to hear speeches about overpopulation, smog and dirty rivers. “It was brand new on the scene. We were basically using a new vocabulary,� recalled Denis Hayes, who was the 25-year-old national coordinator for that first Earth Day. “So it was all fresh. “In 1969, most Americans couldn’t even define the word environment,� Hayes said. “By the end of 1970, a huge fraction of them thought of themselves as environmentalists.� The movement capitalized on the experience and passion of activists who had organized anti-war, civil rights and feminist rallies in the 1960s. Today, the environmental cause is far more sophisticated, with thousands of environmental lawyers and advocates with advanced degrees and corporations rushing to advertise “green� products. “But some of that passion that we had in 1970 has faded,� Hayes said. The original Earth Day was the brainchild of the late Sen. Gaylord Nelson, D-Wis., who called for a nationwide teach-in on the environment in a speech in Seattle in September 1969. His daughter, Tia Nelson, said he decided to launch it after a major oil spill in California and wrote the speech on airplane napkins. Forty years ago Thursday, the youth-driven movement sparked participation of about 2,000 college campuses and 10,000 elementary and high schools. Congress adjourned so members could give speeches, tens of thousands of people filled Fifth Avenue in New York City — which was closed to traffic — and millions took part across the country in activities like trash removal and bicycle rides.

BAGHDAD (AP) — Iraqi officials are investigating claims that detainees, believed to be mostly Sunnis, were tortured at a makeshift prison in Baghdad, in a case that has outraged the country’s Sunni minority, Iraqi officials said Thursday. The deputy human rights minister, Kamil Amin, said that three army officers have been arrested in connection with the case. An Iraqi who said he was in the prison described being beaten, tortured with electric shock treatment and smothered.
The case, which was first reported Monday by the Los Angeles Times, has angered the country’s Sunni population who see it as another example of persecution by Iraq’s Shiite-led government. The charges come at a delicate time, as the country waits to see who will take the lead in forming the next government: a coalition with extensive Sunni support, or a Shiitedominated bloc led by the current prime minister. The incident also raises chilling comparisons with the revelation in 2005 of a
secret prison run by the Shiite-dominated security forces in Baghdad where Sunnis were tortured. In the ensuing years of sectarian battles in the capital, Sunnis repeatedly accused security forces of actively aiding, or at least turning a blind eye to Shiite death squads. At least 431 Iraqi men from the northern province of Ninevah were arrested last year and taken to a Ministry of Defense facility in Baghdad, said Amin. The Human Rights Ministry became involved after hearing complaints
from family members of detainees saying they were tortured. A former prisoner, Radhwan Shihab Ahmed Salih al-Abadi, told The Associated Press in a telephone interview Thursday that he was arrested in December and taken to the prison where he was treated in a “barbaric way.� “They used to asphyxiate us with plastic bags until we were about to fall unconscious and then open the bag,� he said. “They were also using electric shocks during investigation.�
Clegg shows debate skills LONDON (AP) — Nick Clegg has proven he wasn’t a one-hit wonder in Britain’s second election debate, holding his own against Labour’s Prime Minister Gordon Brown and the Conservatives’ David Cameron over thorny issues such as Afghanistan, the Catholic sex abuse scandal and the special relationship with the United States. Clegg shook up the race last week, emerging as a clear winner in Britain’s first U.S.-styled election debate and boosting the profile of the Liberal Democrats, the country’s third-largest party. Thursday’s debate, however, was razor-sharp. One polls gave Clegg a pa-
perthin edge while others put Clegg neck-and-neck with Cameron. Still, Clegg managed to keep some of his political stardust — respondents in one of the polls said the 43-yearold seemed to be the most honest of the three. But the real test before the May 6 election will be next week’s debate on the economy. Britain has one of the highest deficits in Europe with soaring unemployment. Brown, the former Treasury chief who has become deeply unpopular, could redeem himself in the final debate by giving voters a convincing economic recovery plan. Polls suggest that no party will win outright.

gets snipped. gets saved. gets sales. gets jobs! With so many advertising mediums dividing the attention of potential customers, newspapers remain the most effective source for reaching consumers. Why? Simply put, newspapers reach more people, more often. Highly portable and highly visible, newspaper ads go with people and stay with them. That means your business is more likely to be on their minds when they’re in the market for related products or services. When it comes to spending your advertising dollars, make the choice that’s tried and true: newspaper advertising works harder for you.
