Wife, mom of slaying suspect arrested BY ADRIAN SAINZ Associated Press

GUNTOWN — Police have filed kidnapping charges against the wife of a man suspected of killing a Tennessee woman and her oldest daughter and kidnapping the woman’s two youngest daughters. As an intense manhunt for Adam Mayes and the two young girls continued, his wife, Teresa Mayes, and mother, Mary Mayes, were arraigned in a Hardeman County, Tenn., courtroom on Tuesday. Mary Mayes, 65, was charged with

conspiracy to commit kidnapping. An affidavit states that Teresa Mayes, 30, told investigators she drove Jo Ann Bain and her daughters from Hardeman County in western Tennessee, where they lived, to Union County, Miss., where Adam and Teresa Mayes lived with his parents. Calls to the attorneys assigned to represent the two women were not immediately returned. The bodies of Jo Ann Bain and 14-year-old Adrienne Bain

were found last week behind the home where the Mayes family lived. Twelve-year-old Alexandria Bain and 8-year-old Kyliyah Bain were still missing. Authorities have said that 35-year-old Adam Mayes was a family friend who was staying with the Bains on April 27, the night that Jo Ann Bain and the children disappeared. In an interview with The Associated Press on Tuesday, Teresa Mayes’ sister, Bobbi Booth, said her sister told her last week that she knew about the

killings, but Booth thinks Teresa Mayes may have been too scared to call the police. “Teresa started to call, text and Facebook constantly on Thursday,” Booth said. Booth told Teresa Mayes to call the police and was assured that she had, but by Saturday Booth had become suspicious about that claim and called police herself. “I told them exactly what she had told me: Who the bodies were, where they could be dug Adam Mayes

Hospital honors dedicated nurses BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

They were dressed in white as a tribute to the early days. The Florence Nightingale’s of Magnolia Regional Health Center were honored for countless hours of devotion to the welfare of patients during the hospital’s nursing celebration on Tuesday. Nurses carried banners as they made their way around the hospital grounds just before noon en route to the celebration luncheon in the cafeteria. “This is a very rewarding

job,” said 39-year registered nurse Sherry Choate. “I have always wanted to be a nurse since I was a child.” Choate, a Recovery Room RN, is one of the longest tenured nurses at the hospital. She was one of the many dressed in the signature white dress and nursing cap on Tuesday. “It was important to wear white today ... it takes us back to the days of nursing school,” said Choate. “Things have changed over the years, but it has been great working as a nurse.” Choate’s loyalty to the job she loves hasn’t gone unnoticed.

“She has trained a lot of nurses here,” said fellow RN Sheila Calvary. “Sherry is an excellent teacher who wants things exactly right.” During the day, retiring nurses were recognized and Nightingale Nominees were presented. The hospital, which has 4,116 combined years of nursing experience, also honored deceased nurses and acknowledged new nursing graduates.

The manhunt for a Guntown man has some Alcorn County residents on edge. As the search for Adam Mayes intensified on Tuesday, rumors started to circulate that Mayes had been seen at first in the Farmington area, the alleged sightings continued to grow. “Our department hasn’t received any confirmation from any official agency,” said Corinth Police Chief David Lancaster. A spokesman for the Alcorn County Sheriff’s Department also said “we have no confirmation on anything” Tuesday

afternoon. The bodies of 31-year-old Jo Ann Bain and 14-year-old Adrienne Bain were found last week behind the mobile home in northern Mississippi where Mayes lives with his parents and wife. Jo Ann Bain and her three daughters were reported missing from their Whiteville, Tn. home on April 27. Two of the daughters, Alexandria Bain, 12, and Kyliyah Bain, 8, are still missing and believed to be with Mayes. “This is a terrible thing that has hit close to home,” said Please see AGENCIES | 3A

Cable company pulls the plug; residents upset BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

A number of rural Alcorn County residents have been scrambling to get new television service after a cable company pulled the plug on its system without warning. Ollie Ruth Maricle and her husband were watching “The Price Is Right” three weeks ago when something happened and the next item up for bids never came. “All of a sudden the screen went to snow and said, ‘no signal,’” she said. “That’s all it has done since.” She is among the customers of Zoom Media LLC, a cable system that served some parts of the county not reached by Comcast. It was formerly operated by Time Warner Cable and changed hands a number of times through the years. “They didn’t give us any kind of notice whatsoever about it,” said Maricle, a resident of the Kossuth area. “I think we should have been notified that it was happening.” She had noticed that a bill never arrived from the company in April. Zoom’s website has a message stating the company “has permanently closed and is filing for bankruptcy protection.” A phone call to the number listed on the website was answered by a fax machine after ringing for a couple of minutes. Kossuth Mayor Don Pace said the town in the past received regular communications from the cable company about changes affecting the area, but the town government received no notice about the system going dark. He said the cable com-

pany had lost many customers in the Kossuth area because of poor service. “The last few years, the reception wasn’t any good at all,” he said. Maricle has gone without television service since Zoom pulled the plug in April. “It will soon be a month,” she said. “I’m thinking about putting in a satellite, but I hate to put in a satellite and then in a few days maybe the cable will come back on.” She and her husband enjoyed the Christian programming on Unity Broadcasting Network from Booneville as well as local church service broadcasts that she knows are not available through the satellite services. Tommy Allen of the Biggersville area is among those who have signed up with a satellite service. Like many people, he said he learned by word of mouth that the cable company had apparently gone bankrupt. “We still haven’t heard anything” from the company, he said. The quality of the cable service had been problematic. “Sometimes we could see a picture and no sound and sometimes vice versa,” said Allen. “It seemed like it was deteriorating, plus we lost some stations that we started out with.” Since the local stations on satellite are from the Memphis market, he is also using an antenna in order to get the Booneville religious station and news and weather from stations closer than Memphis. According to its website, Zoom Media had cable systems in Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas.

MAYES

Deaths

from,” Booth said. As it turned out, investigators had begun digging in the Mayes’ backyard the previous day. Tennessee Bureau of Investigation spokeswoman Kristin Helm said she was unaware of Booth calling about the killings but said she might have called a different law enforcement agency. Jo Ann Bain’s husband, Gary Bain, last saw his wife and daughters when he woke up briefly in the early hours of that morning. By the time he got up they were gone, but he did not know they were missing until after the girls failed to come home from school. Adam Mayes and Gary Bain, who had once been married to sisters, had been planning to drive some of the family’s belongings to Arizona the next day because the family was moving to that state. Friends and neighbors of the Bains have said that Adam Mayes was like an uncle to Adrienne and her two sisters, 12-year-old Alexandria and 8-yearold Kyliyah. Booth said they were “like a big happy family.” She said she finds it hard to believe that Adam

Mayes could kill a child. “I have cried until I’m sick,” she said. “I was totally shocked. I’ve known him since I was little. We played together when we were kids. I always thought he was odd, but I never dreamed he’d do this.” Booth said she has not had much contact with her sister for the past 11 years because Adam Mayes didn’t want his wife to contact her. “He was very aggressive with her, abusive,” she said. Booth said Teresa Mayes also told her she thought her husband was having an affair with Jo Ann Bain. TBI spokeswoman Kristin Helm said they don’t know if Bain and Mayes were involved. They know the families were friends. FBI spokesman Joel Siskovic said on Tuesday investigators believed the two youngest daughters were still with Mayes. He said no further details were available on the deaths or the search for Mayes. The FBI has not said how Jo Ann and Adrienne Bain died. However, Siskovic did tell The Associated Press, “We’re still working on the belief that the youngest two daughters are alive. We’re still hopeful.” Meanwhile, FBI agents

in green camouflage, carrying high-powered rifles joined K-9 units and SWAT teams in a search of the woods and back roads of north Mississippi near Mayes’ home. State troopers stopped vehicles and looked in trunks Monday, and FBI agents continued to search the yard of the house where Adam Mayes and his family were living. Mayes was last seen a week ago in Guntown, about 80 miles south of the Bain family’s home in Whiteville, Tenn. Siskovic said authorities talked to Mayes early on in the investigation, but he fled when they tried to contact him again. Mayes is considered armed and dangerous. Linda Kirkland, a family friend and cook at the Country Cafe in Whiteville, said the Bains were moving to Arizona because two of the girls had asthma. Mayes also has ties to Arizona, Texas, North Carolina, South Carolina and Florida. Booth said she told authorities to look for him in Florida, where he has relatives. “We don’t have anything to confirm or deny his whereabouts,” Union County Sheriff Jimmy Edwards said. We’re still searching.”

Prentiss County is the next county north of Guntown. “We are cautioning the public to take extra precautions about locking doors and making sure they don‘t leave their keys in their automobiles and locking car doors,” added

Tolar. Tolar says the department has been flooded with calls about seeing Mayes. “The calls have overwhelmed our capabilities at times, so use common sense and good judgment when making a report,”

he said. “If anyone sees anything suspicious contact us and we will check it out.” There is a $50,000 reward being offered along with up to a $1,000 from Crime Stoppers for information about Mayes or the girls.

Corinth, Miss.

You gotta have heart to change things MONTGOMERY, Ala. — It might be a different battle in Madison or Missoula than in Montgomery, but, then again, maybe not. Fighting on behalf of the poor is never a glamorous job. Especially given today’s harsh political climate. Alabama Arise is located in the tired old Bell Building downtown. In the elevator, I keep to see a disheveled Rheta expecting gumshoe named Philip Marlowe Johnson riding along; it’s that kind of retColumnist ro scene. The office suite, located next to the ACLU, is adequate, far from fancy, but better than the single desk that used to “house” Arise. There is a touch of unexpected drama, however, in the plain-Jane headquarters. The view from the ninth floor is spectacular, the gleaming white statehouse framed, as if a target, by every window. The view is appropriate, given Arise’s mission of lobbying for low-income families, and considering Alabama’s 1901 constitution that allows a lopsidedly powerful legislature. Arise has a small permanent staff and a host of members statewide; the coalition consists of 150 church congregations and other concerned organizations, plus hundreds of passionate individuals who believe the poor are treated unfairly. A local newspaper proclaimed Arise “the conscience of Alabama.” Right-wing radio calls it a nest of “bed-wetters.” Being the conscience of Alabama has to be discouraging at times. I can say that, having grown up here. Alabama is, after all, a poor state in a poor region with regressive taxes and a seemingly neverending romance with the status quo. It’s the same state that recently enacted a bill bent on making life miserable for undocumented workers and their children. Basic human services like health care and transportation and education are too often legislative afterthoughts. Alabama is one of only two states in the nation that applies its full state sales tax rate to groceries. Groceries! But there’s hope. The current struggles of the middle class mean every day a broader population is affected by the problems Arise has tried for two decades to correct. Some issues no longer belong exclusively to the poor. Making ends meet is now a middle-class preoccupation, too. With each passing day, it makes more sense to more people to arise and fight for change -- instead of consistently voting against their own self-interests. How hard is it not to lose heart? “I take the long view,” Kimble Forrister, executive director, says. Forrister has a beatific countenance and a master’s degree in divinity from Princeton Theological Seminary. “One day there will be no state taxing groceries. The arc of history bends toward justice.” It might bend faster beneath persistent lobbying efforts of Arise. Pres (cq) Harris, chief organizer, sees it as a matter of getting citizens to set aside what they think they know in order to listen to the facts. There’s a steep learning curve, she says. Maybe it’s tilting at windmills in a nation that for eight years under George W. Bush awarded $2 trillion in tax breaks to the wealthiest of Americans and spent $1 trillion on two wars. Brenda Boman, a former English teacher and Arise development director, says if she could wave a wand and get fellow Alabamians to realize only one thing, it’s this: “Charity is essential, but not enough.” Back in the old lift, going down, I sense maybe things are looking up. At least some here are trying. (To find out more about Rheta Grimsley Johnson and her books, visit www.rhetagrimsleyjohnsonbooks.com.)

Unfair racial quotas are rotten, ridiculous BY MICHAEL BARONE Washington Post editorial writer and liberal blogger Jonathan Capehart is puzzled. Why does the “non-issue” of Harvard Law professor and Democratic Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren’s Native American ancestry “require so much attention?” he asked last week. When Warren was teaching at Pennsylvania, Texas and Houston law schools, she identified herself as Indian -- or, to be politically correct, Native American. Then she was hired at Harvard and dropped the Native American from her biographical description. Harvard Law today says it has one faculty member of Native American heritage. But it won’t say which one. Capehart argues this shouldn’t matter because Warren’s claim is accurate. When the issue first broke, I thought that was likely. Warren grew up in Oklahoma, much of which was once the Indian Territory. Many people there have Indian ancestors. And a researcher at the New England Historic Genealogical Society found that in a transcript of an 1894 marriage application, Warren’s greatgreat-great-grandmother listed herself as Cherokee. It’s a heritage to be proud

of. The Cherokee were one of the “civilized tribes,” and their leader Sequoyah created an ingenious 86-letter alphabet. You can see it, together with English, on street signs in Tahlequah, Okla. Let’s assume the 1894 document is accurate. That makes Warren one-thirtysecond Native American. George Zimmerman, the Florida accused murderer, had a black grandmother. That makes him a quarter black, four times as black as Warren is Indian, though The New York Times describes him as a “white Hispanic.” What’s wrong with what Warren did? Capehart seems to understand that. “The implication in these stories is Warren used minority status to advance her career,” he writes. Well, yes. When she was hired, Harvard Law had just denied tenure to a woman teacher and was being criticized for not having enough minorities and females on its faculty. Of course, Harvard and Warren say her claim to minority status had nothing to do with her being hired. And if it did, no one is going to say so. Nothing to see here; just move on. The important thing is the Warren story illustrates the

rottenness of our system of racial quotas and preferences. You don’t hear Republicans criticizing this system -- and it was a Republican president, Richard Nixon, who introduced it in the federal government in 1970. It quickly spread to academia and corporate America. People who classify themselves as approved minorities get into schools and get jobs they wouldn’t if they classified themselves as white. Not surprisingly, some people, perhaps including Warren, game this system. The original justification was this would overcome the disadvantages American blacks endured during decades of slavery and segregation. That made sense to many people at the time. Those disadvantages were real, and most Americans wanted to be fair. But the extension of minority status to other groups and the perpetuation of racial preferences for nearly half a century since the abolition of legal segregation mean there is increasingly little correlation between membership in the favored categories and genuine disadvantage. Black leaders lament black college admissions increasingly favor affluent blacks (Barack Obama has made this point) and recent immi-

grants from Africa. Hawaii Sen. Daniel Akaka sought to separate Pacific Islanders from Asians, since the former are more disadvantaged. One solution would be to ban self-description and come up with rigorous definitions of race, like Louisiana’s postReconstruction racial code or South Africa’s apartheid laws. But those don’t seem like very attractive models. An alternative is to ditch racial quotas and preferences altogether. Retiring Democratic Sen. Jim Webb has made a proposal for something like this. The strongest argument for this is not some whites (and Asians) get passed over; these individuals will probably do fine nonetheless. The strongest argument against the system is it casts a pall of illegitimacy over the genuine achievements of the intended beneficiaries. In the meantime, what may undermine racial quotas and preferences most effectively is ridicule. For isn’t the idea that the blond, blue-eyed Elizabeth Warren suffered some terrible disadvantage and is in need of special preference because she is one-thirty-second Cherokee just laugh-outloud funny? (Michael Barone, senior political analyst for The Washington Examiner.

A decade of war — for what? “My fellow Americans, we have traveled through more than a decade under the dark cloud of war,” said Barack Obama from Bagram Air Base. “Here in the predawn darkness, we can see the light of a new day on the horizon. The Iraq War is over. The number of troops in harm’s way has been cut in half, and more will be coming home. ... The time of war began in Afghanistan, and this is where it will end.” Interesting comment, that last. If “the time of war” is at an end, does that rule out U.S. military action in Syria or war on Iran? Setting aside the 14,000mile round trip to Afghanistan to do an end zone dance on the anniversary of Seal Team Six’s dispatch of Osama bin Laden, Obama seems to have boxed in his Republican rivals. His assurance that our wars are ending and our troops are coming home reflects the national will. And his partnership agreement with President Hamid Karzai and pledge that a U.S. force will remain to train the Afghan army and prevent al-Qaida’s return inoculates him against the charge that he is cutting and running. Yet The New York Times was disappointed. Obama had not said how the United States is to train

the Afghan army to defeat the Taliban by 2014, nor how we can get Karzai to deal with the Pat pervasive corBuchanan ruption and incompetence Columnist of his government. Nor did Obama say how we can be certain al-Qaida will not return when we depart. The Times misses the point. This speech was not designed to lay out a U.S. strategy for the next 12 years, but to get Barack Obama past the post in November. And for that objective, the speech works. No one knows what will happen when 23,000 more U.S. troops come home by Sept. 30, and all combat troops are out in 2014. The odds are that, after a “decent interval,” like the one in Vietnam from 1973 to 1975, the Taliban will return to take vengeance on all who abandoned them, and Afghanistan will come again to resemble the land we invaded a decade ago. Why is this probable? First, because the Taliban have shown themselves to be, though fewer in number, a superior fighting force to the Afghan army. They have not needed foreigners to motivate, train, advise or lead

them. Second, the Taliban are rooted in the Pashtun, the largest tribal group in Afghanistan, which constitutes half the population and is concentrated in the crucial south and east. Third, they have a secure sanctuary in Pakistan. Fourth, because, as we saw with the hysterical reaction to what U.S. troops thought was the routine burning of desecrated Qurans, Islam is the most powerful cultural and social force in the country. And the Taliban are the most deeply rooted in that faith. Fifth, because nationalism is the most potent political current roiling nations from the Maghreb to Middle East to South Asia. And the Taliban have the causalities and credentials to prove they will fight forever to free their country of foreign influence. A majority of Afghans surely wish the Taliban would not return, given the savagery of their previous rule and the desire of the Afghan people to be free to live their own lives according to their own interpretation of their faith. Yet the Taliban have shown themselves willing to persist against huge odds, to fight and die in considerable numbers for the kind of country they wish to live in -- and the kind of regime they wish to live under.

Our allies have not remotely matched their zeal. “A small body of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable faith in their mission can alter the course of history,” said Mohandas Gandhi. So, after a decade of war in Afghanistan, what have we accomplished, and at what cost? Some 2,000 U.S. dead, 16,000 wounded, hundreds of billions sunk, scores of thousands of Afghan dead. Al-Qaida was driven out a decade ago but is now in Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, North Africa and Iraq. The Taliban are gone from Kabul but may be coming back. And our hope of preserving what success we have had rests with Hamid Karzai. “America has no designs beyond an end to al-Qaida safe havens,” said Obama in Bagram. “Our goal is not to build a country in America’s image, or to eradicate every vestige of the Taliban.” But if those are our goals, had we not achieved them all by early 2002? What, then, were we fighting for -- these 10 years? If we had to do it all over again, would we? The nation now seems not to think so. And the nation is right. (Patrick J. Buchanan is the author of “Suicide of a Superpower: Will America Survive to 2025?”)

State Briefs Firm gets fined over $900,000 JACKSON (AP) — Mississippi utility regulators have fined a California man and associated companies $945,000 for breaking the state’s nocall law. The state Public Service Commission unanimously approved the fine Tuesday morning. The commission says Roy M. Cox Jr. of Santa Ana, Calif., and five companies he controls broke the state’s law against telephone solicitations 189 times in the last four years. Under the law, people who don’t want to get telephone solicitations sign up for a “do not call” list. Telephone solicitors are supposed to acquire that

list and not call those people, with certain exemptions. A PSC staff member said Cox didn’t reply to legal papers. Four of the five companies in the Cox case are incorporated abroad: two in Panama, one in Argentina and one in Hungary.

27-year-old Robert B. Roach and 43-year-old Terri Lynne Chambers. The case remains under investigation. Liddell says the bodies were found in in the carport of a home.

Pit bull causes lockdown school PLANTERSVILLE (AP) — Authorities say a vicious pit bull caused a school to be put on

lockdown in northeast Mississippi until police killed it. The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal reports that the dog had broken its chain and was roaming near Plantersville Middle School. Authorities said no students saw the dog killed. The owner of this dog had another pit bull loose on the campus on May 3. That dog was captured by school maintenance workers. Plantersville Police Chief Maury Schuh plans to ask city officials to pass a vicious dog ordinance. Police killed two pit bulls April 17 after they broke into a house and killed a Great Dane. Schuh says wild pit bull

mixes have killed a cow and calf that belonged to him.

Trailer loaded with Corona is stolen CARLISLE, Pa. (AP) — Somebody is a few thousand limes away from one big party. Police in central Pennsylvania are searching for a missing beer trailer loaded with about 1,800 cases of Corona.

Nation Briefs

MAY 9, 2012 8 PM

Carlisle police say the trailer was stolen from a distributor sometime between Friday and Monday. Corona is a popular Mexican beer, and Saturday marked Cinco de Mayo, which celebrates Mexican heritage and pride and is an occasion for festi-

vals and parties throughout the U.S. Anyone with information on the trailer’s whereabouts is asked to call the Carlisle police. The missing trailer is registered to Metcalf Trucking and has Maine tags.

Bomb plot is reminder of security gaps WASHINGTON (AP) — In the wake of a failed al-Qaida plot to blow up a U.S.-bound airliner, the Obama administration on Tuesday sought to reassure travelers that security at American airports is as good as it has ever been. Overseas, where such plots originate, security is a different story. While airline checks in the United States mean passing through an onerous, sometimes embarrassing series of patdowns and body scans, procedures overseas can be a mixed bag. The U.S. cannot force other countries to permanently adopt the expensive and intrusive measures that have become common in American airports over the past decade. The latest al-Qaida plot originated in Yemen and used an upgrade over the bomb that failed to detonate on board an airplane over Detroit on Christmas 2009. Officials said this new bomb was meant to be concealed in a passenger’s underwear, contained no metal and used a chemical — lead azide — that was to be a detonator in a nearly successful 2010 plot to attack cargo planes. Working with an al-Qaida informant and foreign intelligence services, the CIA disrupted the latest plot before the would-be bomber even picked a target or bought his tickets, officials say. The FBI is still analyzing the sophisticated explosive. But, based on preliminary findings, security procedures at U.S. airports remained unchanged a day after the plot became public. That was a reflection of both the U.S. confidence in its security systems and a recognition that the

government can’t realistically expect travelers to endure much more. Increased costs and delays to airlines and shipping companies could have a global economic impact, too.

GOP blocks Senate student loan debate WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Republicans blocked a Democratic bill Tuesday to preserve low interest rates for millions of college students’ loans, as the two parties engaged in election-year choreography aimed at showing each is the better protector of families in today’s rugged economy. The 52-45 vote to begin debating the legislation fell eight votes short of the 60 needed to proceed and stalled work on an effort both parties expect will ultimately produce a compromise, probably soon. For now, each side is happy to use the stalemate to snipe at the other with campaign-ready talking points while they are gridlocked over how to cover the $6 billion cost. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said the vote showed that despite GOP claims that they support preventing an increase in student loan rates, “Republicans showed today that it’s only talk.” He also noted that the likely GOP presidential candidate, Mitt Romney, supports a temporary extension of today’s low rates and needled, “I suggest he pick up the phone and call Senator McConnell.” That was a reference to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., who said the battle is a phony one manufactured by Democrats to woo votes from

students. Both parties say they want to extend low interest rates. “The Senate has ceased to be a place where problems are resolved. It’s become instead a place where Democrats produce campaign material,” McConnell said. The vote was nearly party-line, with Reid voting “no” to give himself the procedural ability to demand another vote once a compromise is reached. Sen. Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, who is retiring after citing excessive partisanship in Washington, voted “present.” The Democratic bill would keep interest rates for subsidized Stafford loans at 3.4 percent for an additional year, rather than doubling automatically for new loans starting July 1. It would have no impact on current loans. A 2007 law approved by a Democratic Congress gradually lowered the rates but pops them back up to 6.8 percent in July because lawmakers were worried about costs.

FDA review favors drug for HIV prevention WASHINGTON (AP) — A pill that has long been used to treat HIV has moved one step closer to becoming the first drug approved to prevent healthy people from becoming infected with the virus that causes AIDS. The Food and Drug Administration said Tuesday that Gilead Sciences’ Truvada appears to be safe and effective for HIV prevention. It concluded that taking the pill daily could spare patients “infection with a serious and life-threatening illness that requires lifelong treatment.”

Cisco Systemsâ€™ 3Q

Priceline.com earnings

Cisco Systems was coming nicely out of the recession, but hit an air pocket a year and a half ago. Competitors were nibbling at its core markets, and Ciscoâ€™s approach looked scattershot. Since then, it has been working its way out of the slump. Management cut almost 10,000 jobs and narrowed the companyâ€™s focus. Its fiscal third-quarter earnings report today is expected to show that the company has continued making progress.

Travel booking website Priceline.com doesnâ€™t appear ready to take a vacation from profits any time soon. The companyâ€™s profit and revenue grew last year as more customers booked hotel rooms, rental cars and airline tickets.

Coleman, McElwain win titles BY H. LEE SMITH II lsmith@dailycorinthian.com

The youngest now has bragging rights. Catherine Coleman logged her third state tennis title on Tuesday, completing a 4-0 trek through the Class 4A girls singles bracket at Ridgeland Tennis Center. The senior -- who tied sisters Courtney and Christina with her title in the 3A event last year -- won two matches on Monday and followed suit with two more wins on Tuesday, beating Shannon’s Jordan Roberts in the title match. She joins Elizabeth Perry, Allie Winters and the Smith twins -- Nancy and Catherine -- as the only three-time champions in the program’s

history. The two girls singles titles, her first win came along side Kayla Keefe in the 2009 girls doubles, also tied her a top the list with Haley Huggins and Antrice Kay. Austin McElwain took home his second title and ended a 21-year drought for the program by prevailing in the 4A boys singles event. The senior beat Richland’s Marcus Creese in the title match to give Corinth its first boys singles champion since Bobby Middleton in 1991. McElwain won his first title in 2008 teaming with Charlie Curtis in boys doubles. He tied Curtis and seven other former Warriors for most individual boys titles. Corinth well short of play-

ing for its 15th title when it fell to New Albany 5-2 in the 4A quarterfinals. • In the Class 3A tournament at Bridges Tennis Center, Alcorn Central’s David Hollowell won three boys single matches before finishing runner-up to St. Andrew’s Phillip Qu. Anna Bowling won her opening match in girls singles before losing to eventual champion Sidonia Compton of St. Patrick. In boys doubles, Central’s Ande Mills and Reid Price opened with a win before falling to St. Andrews in the quarterfinals. Trevor Smith and Ally Gray advanced to the mixed doubles quarterfinals before being eliminated by Philadelphia.

MLB, NCAA talking partnership The Associated Press

Major League Baseball would fund scholarships and exert greater influence over Division I college baseball under what would be an unprecedented partnership with the NCAA. If an agreement is reached, it could lead other professional organizations to enter partnerships with the NCAA. The NCAA’s point man in the talks, University of Hartford President Walter Harrison, said it could take a year or longer for an agreement to be reached because new or amended legislation might be required. “There is a lot for us to explore as an association,” Harrison said. “The one principle we have is that we want to be

completely true to the core values of amateur collegiate baseball... I want to be cautious about whether this will happen or not. These are concepts at the moment.” Still, Harrison said he could see similar arrangements occurring in other sports that generally produce no revenue for colleges. The PGA, for example, might one day help fund scholarships in golf, he said. According to Harrison, five issues have been discussed with MLB: scholarships, ways to increase diversity, the calendar for the entry draft and College World Series, MLB’s involvement in summer leagues, and wooden bats. The discussions were first reported by CBSS-

ports.com. Oregon State coach Pat Casey told The Associated Press on Tuesday he sees only positives if MLB increases its involvement. North Carolina coach Mike Fox said he’s wary of becoming beholden to MLB. “Usually when you provide money to someone,” Fox said, “you want something in return.” MLB spokesman Pat Courtney said it was too early to comment on the discussions. Union head Michael Weiner characterized the talks as “exploratory.” “It’s been our view for a long time that while each player gets to make his own decision, we’d like to encourage as many

players as possible to use their athletic ability to try to get an education before they try a professional career,” Weiner said. Harrison said the most dramatic proposal would have MLB fund one full scholarship for each Division I program that meets certain criteria. A possibility, he said, is that a program would have to already provide a full allotment of 11.7 scholarships to be eligible for the extra one. MLB stipulated that the scholarship could be awarded to only one player, rather than splitting them. Harrison said the reason for awarding a full scholarship is Please see MLB | 9A

Hamilton hits 4 HRs in Rangers win The Associated Press

BALTIMORE — Josh Hamilton became the 16th player to hit four home runs in a game, launching a quartet of two-run drives against three different pitchers in a history-making performance that carried the Texas Rangers to a 10-3 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday Hamilton homered off Jake Arrieta in the first and third innings, added another off Zach Phillips in the seventh and topped it off with a onefor-the-books shot against Darren O’Day in the eighth.

During the last at-bat, Hamilton took a mighty hack and missed, lined a foul into rightfield seats and then sent an 0-2 pitch over the center-field wall. He also doubled in the fifth inning. His 18 total bases is a new single-game American League record, and his eight RBIs are a career high. The last player to hit four home runs in a game was Carlos Delgado on Sept. 25, 2003, for Toronto against Tampa Bay. Two of the 16 players to hit four homers in a game did it before 1900.

Hamilton is the sixth AL slugger to perform the feat. The last player to hit four homers in a game against the Orioles was Rocky Colavito in 1959, at old Memorial Stadium. Hamilton, who is in the final year of his contract and could become a free agent after this season, leads the AL with 14 homers and 36 RBIs, and his 5-for-5 effort raised his batting average to .406. He also set the Texas single-game club record with five extra-base hits, breaking the mark of four held by eight

players. Hamilton has homered in five of his last six atbats, counting his final trip to the plate Monday night. Andrian Beltre also homered for the Rangers. Coming off a 14-3 win in the series opener, Texas has won two straight for the first time since April 24-25 and are 20-10, their best-ever record after 30 games. Dating back to last season, Texas has won seven in a row over Baltimore by a combined Please see HAMILTON | 9A

that it would potentially attract economically disadvantaged minorities who otherwise might quit playing baseball in hopes of earning a full scholarship in basketball or football. MLB has been particularly concerned about the decrease in number of African-American players in the big leagues. Black players made up 5 percent of Division I baseball players last season, according to the NCAA. The percentage of blacks in the major leagues was 8.8 percent on opening day this year, according to the University of Central Florida’s Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport.

Suggs has surgery on Achilles tendon The Associated Press

OWINGS MILLS, Md.— Baltimore Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs had surgery repair a torn Achilles tendon Tuesday and is expected to make a full recovery. The Ravens didn’t indicate whether Suggs will be able to play this fall, or if it was a full tear or partial tear. “Terrell had a successful surgical procedure done on his Achilles tendon this afternoon by Dr. Bob An-

derson,” general manager Ozzie Newsome said in a statement. “After some recovery time, Sizzle’ will begin the process of rehabbing the area. We know he will work hard to get back on the field with his teammates as soon as the doctors and trainers allow. We’re confident that he can make a full recovery.” Suggs suffered the injury in a conditioning workout in Arizona during the NFL draft. Suggs has said that he expects to return later

HAMILTON CONTINUED FROM 8

70-18 score. Rangers starter Neftali Feliz (2-1) gave up one run on four hits and had a career-high eight strikeouts. Converted to starter after notching 72 saves over the previous two seasons, Feliz had a 2-0 lead to protect before throwing his first pitch and maintained the advantage — just like when he was closer. The Orioles entered the series with the best record in the majors after a 5-1 trip through Yankee Stadium and Fenway Park, but they have looked more like a team with 14 straight losing seasons in these two games against the two-time defending AL champions. Arrieta (2-3) allowed six runs and nine hits in 6 1-3 innings. He yielded

a career-high three homers, matching the total he surrendered in his first six starts this season. J.J. Hardy and Nick Markakis hit consecutive solo homers for Baltimore in the eighth, long after the outcome had been decided.

kick returner Jacoby Jones to a two-year, $7 million contract. In his first season in Baltimore last year, Pollard had 75 tackles, two sacks, three forced fumbles and one interception. “Bernard showed last year that he is a Raven,” Newsome said. “He’s smart, tough and brings a passion to the games, our practices and in the weight room. His physical presence on the back end is very important to the way we play defense.”

Gordon: ‘I want to laugh... cry’ Jeff Gordon won the pole for the Aaron’s 499 at Talladega Superspeedway, one of the bright spots in an otherwise dismal season. But after being collected in a multi-car crash, the four-time champion was left with a 33rdplace finish, which puts him 23rd in the points standings, 145 points behind leader Greg Biffle, and 69 points out of the top 10. He said the 2012 season is turning out to be one of the most bizarre of his career. “I mean it’s almost comical at this point,” he said. “I want to laugh at it, but I want to cry, too. It’s just ridiculous that we cannot catch a single break.” Gordon went on to say that he’s no fan of the rules designed to limit two-car tandems at Daytona and Talladega. Those rules are designed so that cars that do push quickly overheat. Some, including Gordon, say NASCAR has gone too far in that direction. “This temp thing is kind of a joke,” he said. “They are going to have to fix that … When you can’t really even race because the temps, even in a regular pack, are an issue, we have to address that.”

Stewart mocks crash fixation

Fast Forward

Brad Keselowski during practice for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Samsung Mobile 500 at Texas Motor Speedway on April 12. (NASCAR photo)

Three years after first Cup win, Keselowski shows no signs of stopping

art of the fun of following NASCAR – or any sport – is trying to figure out who will be the next superstar. Three years ago at Talladega Superspeedway, after Brad Keselowski held his ground on the final lap and got his first career Sprint Cup victory (while Carl Edwards, after contact between the two of them, flew into the catchfence), many speculated that Keselowski was destined for stardom. Others figured he might be like Bobby Hillin Jr., Phil Parsons, Ron Bouchard, Dick Brooks or Lennie Pond – drivers who got a win at Talladega then never won anywhere else. But since then, Keselowski has won four more times, earned a Chase berth in 2011 and established himself as one of the sport’s top stars. On Sunday, in the Aaron’s 499, he pulled off a move that isn’t supposed to work, to motor away from his drafting partner Kyle Busch on the final lap and cruise to his sixth career victory. On a green-white-checkered run to the finish, Keselowski proved adept at hooking up in a two-car tandem, working with Kyle Busch to motor away from the Roush Fenway Racing duo of Matt Kenseth and Greg Biffle, who had difficulty getting hooked up bumper to bumper and quick-

Brad Keselowski celebrates after winning Sunday’s Aaron’s 499 at Talladega Superspeedway in Talladega,Ala. (NASCAR photo) ly found themselves racing for third place, at best. Then Keselowski showed a sign of true greatness, when he made a daring move in Turn Three on the final lap and broke away from Busch, a maneuver that allowed him to motor away unchallenged to the finish line. When Keselowski went high, then low, it broke the draft and more importantly debunked the prevailing school of thought that the second-place driver had the advantage on the final lap at Talladega. Keselowski said he’d been wait-

ing a long time to try that move. “I had this whole plan if I ever got in that situation where I was leading,” he said. “I thought about it and thought about it, dreamed about what to do, and sure enough, going into [Turn] Three, it was just me and Kyle [Busch], and I knew the move I wanted to pull. “It worked because the guy running second should have the advantage, but I had this move all worked up in my mind. “Now everybody has seen it and they know it, but I’m glad I was able to get a win with it … It

wasn’t easy to convince myself to do that, but it was the right move. I’m glad it worked.” An obviously disappointed Busch said he wasn’t sure how Keselowski got away at the end and he wasn’t sure if it was a planned maneuver or not. “If he did [plan it] it was pretty smart,” Busch said. Keselowski’s victory, his second of the season, appears to put him in good position to take a spot in the Chase, which begins after the 26-race regular season. And it further establishes him as one of the sport’s elite drivers. Busch and Kenseth both agreed with that when queried after the race. “He’s no dummy, that’s for sure,” Busch said. “He’s got good plate-racing skills. I think he’s got good short track, mile-and-a-half skills, too. “Brad should be a title contender each and every year.” Kenseth, who blamed himself for not doing a better job at managing the tandem at the end at Talladega, said that many not directly involved in the sport may not realize how dedicated Keselowski is to his job. “That’s one thing people don’t notice or give him credit for – he works really hard,” Kenseth said. “I think that’s a lot of reason for his success.”

Drivers anticipate fun, challenges of Darlington races Mother’s Day weekend finds NASCAR idle on Sunday, but racing hard on Saturday night in the Bojangles’ Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway. In the previous 62 Cup races at NASCAR’s oldest superspeedway, it has been shown time and again that the track’s nicknames, like “the Lady in Black” and the “Track Too Tough To Tame,” are more than appropriate. It’s a little different in recent races, as the smoother asphalt from a 2007 repave has taken some of the challenge out of the track, but it’s still tough and could be more challenging this time around, as the asphalt has had another year to age. Darlington trophies always have been among the most cherished in auto racing. Jimmie Johnson said he’s mighty proud of his two – both from 2004. “That was on the old surface, which – Darlington isn’t easy now – but, there is just something so cool about the surface prior to the repave,” Johnson said. “It was such a challenge. I am very proud of those trophies.” Although one of those trophies wound up getting ruined, Johnson said the track replaced it. In six career Cup starts at Darlington, Martin Truex Jr. has yet to score a top-five finish, but he has

Regan Smith, driver of the No.78 Chevrolet, crosses the finish line to win the SHOWTIME Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway on May 7, 2011. (NASCAR photo) an average finish of 12.3 with a best of sixth and a worst of 19th. “I feel like it’s probably one of my best tracks,” he said, acknowledging that his average finish isn’t spectacular. “We’ve led a ton of laps there since they repaved it, and [we] had cars, to be honest, three or four times, that were capable of winning … “I’m really, really looking forward to that race. I think we have a shot at winning, and look forward to going there.”

Denny Hamlin said, for him, Darlington is one of those tracks that challenge him, which he enjoys. “It just seems like we have adapted to it and found a way to get around the track,” he said. Hamlin also said he was at Darlington recently and believes it’s going to be more like the old Darlington than most people expect. “It’s amazing to see how much the surface has aged just since last year,” he said. “The surface was white as snow, and basically that’s the rock starting to come up through the asphalt again, which I think is great for that race track.” A more abrasive track generally creates more tire wear and places more emphasis on driving ability. Hamlin, in his relatively brief career, has been a master at handling Darlington, whether the pavement was old or new. In six Cup starts, he has a win in 2010 and a runner-up finish in 2007 and has never finished worse than 13th. In six Nationwide Series races at Darlington he has three wins, in 2006, 2007 and 2010. He has a second place from last year, and his worst finish is an eighth, which came in 2004 in his Nationwide debut. “For myself, I just have a way of getting around the place,” he said. “I really can’t explain it.”

Tony Stewart had some interesting – and sarcastic – responses to media questions after crashing on the final caution at Talladega. He was responding to the rules changes, made in response to fan complaints about boring racing, that brought back the big packs of cars. “I’m sorry we couldn’t crash more cars today,” he said. “We didn’t fill the quota for today for Talladega and NASCAR … “Honestly, I think if we haven’t crashed at least 50 percent of the field by the end of the race, we need to extend the race until we at least crash 50 percent of the cars, because it’s not fair to these fans, for them to not see any more wrecks than that, and more torn up cars. We still had over half the cars running at the end, and it shouldn’t be that way.” He suggested running the race in a figure-8 format. “It would absolutely be perfect here,” he said. “It would be better than what we have. That is going to be my vote next week is that we make it a figure-8, and/or we can stop at the halfway, make a break and turn around and go backwards the rest of the way. Then with 10 to go, we split the field in half and half go the regular direction and half of them go backwards.”

NASCAR penalties lose bite The outcome of the penalties announced following rules infractions at Richmond International Raceway seems to indicate that NASCAR’s chief appellate officer, John Middlebrook, has taken some of the bite out of NASCAR’s penalty process. After Jimmie Johnson’s No. 48 Sprint Cup team had its penalties overturned by Middlebrook – other than a monetary fine – for rules violations at Daytona in February, the NASCAR world was closely watching for the next round of infractions. Last week, six Nationwide Series crew chiefs were fined and placed on probation for having unapproved modifications to the front bumper area of their cars. They were Luke Lambert (No. 2 team), Danny Stockman (No. 3 team), Trent Owens (No. 0 team), Jimmy Elledge (No. 31 team), Ernie Cope (No. 33 team), and Mike Shiplett (No. 38 team). But none of the Nationwide teams, nor the drivers, were docked any points, as has been a major part of NASCAR penalties in the past. In the eyes of many in the garage, if points aren’t part of the penalty, there’s no real problem.

Home & Garden

Gardenias bring beautiful smell, look to gardens One spring-blooming shrub that garners almost as much attention as the azalea is the gardenia. The fragrance of the gardenia flower is beyond description, as it is both heady and strong. The gardenias for our landscapes are known botanically as GardeGary nia jasminoides. Bachman They were Southern brought to Gardening the southeastern United States in the late 1700s from their native range in Japan and China. Some home gardeners refer to these plants as Cape jasmine. Gardenia is an evergreen with glossy, dark green leaves. The foliage is up to four inches long, and the shrub can grow to six feet tall and wide. Flowers emerge white and become yellow before fading to brown. There are both singleand double-flowered varieties to choose from. Because of the shrub’s size potential, many gardeners like to use gardenia as a focal point or specimen plant in the landscape. A great use is to mass gardenia into a border planting with other colorful shrubs, such as azalea and Knockout roses. If you want a smaller gardenia, consider planting Gardenia Radicans. This selection will stay less than three feet tall. Radicans also has a finer foliage texture, as the leaves are more linear and pointed. There is also Radicans Variegata, which has green-white leaves. This selection has a more horizontal growth habit and makes an unusual ground cover. Gardenias have the reputation of being a little finicky in the land-

scape. This may be true for those gardeners who believe in the no-maintenance landscape. However, if given just a little extra care and attention, your gardenias can be the envy of the neighborhood. Light is an important consideration. Gardenias appreciate being grown in some shade. They can be planted in the full sun as long as they receive protection from afternoon heat. Morning sun with an eastern exposure is a great setting for gardenia. For gardenia success, always prepare the planting bed with lots of organic matter or compost. Raised beds will help ensure good soil drainage. Never cultivate around the plants once they are established, as the roots do not like to be disturbed. Mulch each year to reduce the occurrence of weeds. Keep the soil moisture consistent; gardenias do not like to dry out during the dog days of summer. Using drip irrigation is a great way to apply muchneeded water to the root system. Drip irrigation will also keep the flowers and foliage dry and prevent leaf spotting. Gardenias are acidloving plants and thrive with lower soil pH, so use fertilizers for acidloving plants. An easy way to fertilize is using an appropriate water-soluble formulation. In Mississippi, you should have applied fertilizer around the plants in March. Toward the end of May, fertilize again to help replenish nutrients and encourage blooming this summer.

Gardenia can be used as a focal point, specimen or informal hedge, such the one in this garden. It is a good practice to prune your gardenias after flowering. Pruning will keep the plant tidy and help maintain its desired shape in the landscape.

Gardenia Radicans, right, stays less than 3 feet tall with leaves that are linear and pointed.

Attention, chocolate lovers: Prepare to start swooning DEAR ABBY: I have heard that your dessert recipes are fabulous and I’d like to have them. I saw a column in which you mentioned your cookbooklets. I hope I’m correct about this, because I’d be interested in getting them. I have your booklet of poems and essays, which I have read and enjoyed many times. Would you print your personal favorite dessert recipe and let me know how to get your cookbooklets? Warmest wishes to you, Abby, and thank you for all your columns. -- ANITA B. IN NEW JERSEY DEAR ANITA: You are welcome. It’s hard for me to choose just one recipe because I have a notorious sweet tooth, and my cookbooklets contain more than a few that I have enjoyed many times. However, because you asked for my personal favorite, it would be one that not only I have en-

joyed, but also one I have made for friends as gifts -Regency BrownAbigail ies With Van Buren Chocolate Frosting. Dear Abby (Because the recipe yields 41⁄2 dozen, I confess I usually keep the “extra” six to munch on myself.)

Brownies 1 cup butter (2 sticks) 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate 2 cups sugar 4 eggs 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon salt 2 cups chopped walnuts 1 teaspoon vanilla For the frosting 1 cup heavy cream 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped Preheat oven to 350 de-

grees. Line the bottom of an 18-by-12-by-2 (or 1)-inch baking pan with baking parchment paper and spray generously with butter-flavored cooking spray. In the top of a double boiler, over medium heat, melt butter and 4 ounces chocolate. Reserve. In a large bowl, beat sugar and eggs until fluffy. Add flour and salt, mixing well. Add chocolate mixture, blending thoroughly. Stir in nuts and vanilla. Pour into prepared baking pan. (Batter should be about 1⁄2 inch thick, not more.) Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until top is crisp and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool before pouring frosting over the top. For the frosting: Bring cream to a boil, stirring constantly. Place chopped chocolate in a medium bowl; pour boiling cream over the chocolate and stir to blend well. Spread thin layer of warm frosting over top of brownies in pan. When cool, cut into 2-inch squares. (My cookbooklet set contains not only many easy-to-prepare crowdpleasing recipes, but also tips on entertaining. It can be ordered by sending your name and address, plus check or money order for $14 — U.S. funds — to: Dear Abby — Cookbooklet Set, P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. Shipping and handling are included in the price. )

Horoscopes BY HOLIDAY MATHIS It’s an excellent time to tackle what you would have procrastinated just yesterday. The Capricorn moon likes to get things done with as little fuss, resistance or drama as possible. This moon lends just enough emotional control for maximum efficiency, but not enough to make life boring. ARIES (March 21-April 19). Life becomes more precious and beautiful to you when you’re around a certain someone. This is mainly because being around this person heightens your awareness and makes you slow down and tune in. TAURUS (April 20May 20). You have the solution to your problem. This is hard to believe in the moments when you lack self-confidence or feel stuck or oppressed. Cultivate faith and optimism. It will help you move through the valleys and find answers. GEMINI (May 21June 21). At this point, life seems so uncertain that you don’t even want to set goals. Take a break. Relax and rejuvenate. Everything will feel more joyful when you do. CANCER (June 22July 22). In a sense, you are “shopping” for new alliances today. Whether what you need most is a friend, a business partner or a romance, be sure to choose the person, not the credentials. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You have ideas, and now they are stringing themselves together in your head to formulate an improved vision of the future. You could be the one to open a new heaven for your loved ones. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22). Wanting something to be finished will not make it so. You’re well aware of the steps involved, though making yourself go through them will be a challenge. Give yourself some incentive. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The written word will be your most powerful form of communication. So wherever possible, put your ideas down in writing. People need to remember your words and attribute them to you. Write on! SCORPIO (Oct. 24Nov. 21). Stand back, take a breath, and see your situation anew. Are you handing someone power that rightfully belongs to you? Your selfrespect is a renewable resource. You may have given a little of it away, but you can get it back. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). A relationship is forming. You can’t quite frame it in your mind at this point, but ideas and feelings are coming together, and by the end of the week, you’ll have a clear picture of what you want to do next. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You have influence, but you won’t know about it unless you take action. Make a move. Suddenly, someone follows your lead, and then another, and another. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). What you say in a group will matter immensely. The compliments you give people in public will mean more than the ones you give privately. Singing a loved one’s praises publicly is a good way to build relationship points. PISCES (Feb.

American Legion to Host Bluegrass Festival Iuka’s American Legion Post 15 will host its SEVENTH ANNUAL BLUEGRASS MUSIC FEST. Saturday, May 12 from 10 AM until 4 PM on the grounds of the American Legion across from the National Guard Armory in Iuka. Featured performers this year will be:

• • • • •

Good Times Knee Deep In Bluegrass Blue Day Hatchie Bottom Boys Lisa Lambert and the Pine Ridge Boys

• Volume Five

Nationally Known Bluegrass Band Featuring Glen Harrell

There will be BBQ plates with fries, beans, slaw, roll, and a drink. Also on the menu will be hamburgers, cheeseburgers, hotdogs/slaw dogs and deserts for a nominal price. All funds will go to the Legion Post’s 15 support of the local school’s student’s scholarships Veteran’s and their dependants programs and the Legion’s Post 15 building fund.

Rain or Shine.

Admission is $7.00 per person

19-March 20). Your goals are doable. What you want is very much in line with all that is possible for you. Still, you need to streamline your efforts. Cut out the fat. Make every attempt to be lean and mean in your approach. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 9). You have amazing powers of visualization. You’ll paint your ideal world in words and images and then take steps to make it real. You’ll network and put together a lucrative deal over the next seven weeks. A turn of events gives you an unexpected advantage in June. November brings a journey that’s good for your family. Pisces and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 14, 39, 1 and 18. ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: “My husband and I are Librans and are simpatico except when our scales are tipping in the opposite directions! Advice?” Lovely Libras understand that getting along all of the time isn’t what relationships are all about. Partnerships are seldom 50/50 contributions, and they don’t need to be in order to work well. Sometimes they are 60/40 or 90/10 -- or who knows? The constant tallying gets tiresome. Two Libras in love sometimes need to remind each other that it’s the long view that matters. Things usually do balance out in the long run when each party has loving intentions. When there is tension in the relationship or when expectations are not being met, what’s usually needed is perspective. A little time and distance can do wonders to ease frustrations. Venusruled Libra natives can be extremely generous, forgiving and romantic. They make excellent partners to each other as they understand the art of diplomacy, are willing to compromise and can see the value of making another person happy. CELEBRITY PROFILES: Eternal beauty Candice Bergen is a Venus-ruled Taurus who brings her class, razor wit and clever versatility to each new project. She won so many Emmys for her role as Murphy Brown that after the fifth one she declined future nominations. Bergen’s natal Mars and Pluto are in Leo, the sign of show business.
