the surprises trickled down and Ari-zona finished 30th out of 31 teams.
“It was not a very good performance,” Li said. “But I was trying to tell the girls to keep their heads up and while we’re not happy about our performance here, I’m still very proud of them for making it here and for what they’ve achieved.”
For the first time this season, junior runner Maggie Callahan was not the first runner across the line for Arizona. That spot was filled by standout fresh-man Jennifer Bergman, who finished 138th overall with a time of 21:34.5 for a 6,000-meter race.
“I was pretty excited to be the first
one to finish,” Bergman said. “I started out pretty slow, but I definitely picked it up near the end. It was definitely a lot different than what I was used to with so many fast runners.”
The difference between Bergman and Callahan, the second Arizona runner to cross, was a mere three seconds. Callahan
finished 147th. The next woman across the line was freshman Cami Jackson, in 156th with a time of 21:42.6.
Freshman Liz Apgar came through next at 197th in 22:03.4 and sophomore Hanna Henson rounded out the team’s top five finishers two seconds later with a finish in 201st place. In all, there were
254 women in the race.“I think we’re going to learn a lot
from it,” Callahan said. “We can’t just be happy that we’re here. We have to make an impact next year.”
“It just kind of sucks to end on this note,” she added, “but for the whole season, we have a great sense of accomplishment.”

asks really thoughtful ques-tions,” Sinha said. “He’s always willing to help stu-dents out, and that always encouraged me.”
The second lecturer, Jane Maienschein, a life sciences professor, is also someone whose willing-ness to aid students and form lasting relationships with them contributed to her nomination, said biolo-gy and society senior Cera Lawrence, who nominated Maienschein.
“[Maienschein] has been inspirational to me in the course of my education,” Lawrence said. “She really likes talking to undergrad-uates and helping them
work out undergraduate research projects and un-dergraduate theses, and that was really motivating for me.”
Maienschein’s lecture, “Will Stem Cells Make us Smarter, or Live Lon-ger, or What?” on April 27, will focus on the different sides of stem-cell research and what is currently hap-pening in the field, Maien-schein said.
“There are so many ru-mors, and there’s so much hype about [stem-cell re-search],” she said. “It has gotten polarized with so many extremes that we lose track of the reality.”
Choosing stem-cell re-search as her last lecture topic was simple, Maien-schein said, because it is
something she’s interested in and because it applies to everyone.
“Almost everybody has some kind of view about stem-cell research, and most of those people don’t have a very clear reason why,” she said. “It’s impor-tant that we talk together about why we think what we think.”
The final address in the Last Lecture Series will be by Stephanie deLuse, an in-terdisciplinary studies pro-fessor, titled “Problems, Paradoxes and Pleasures: Life Lessons Learned from Teaching,” on April 30.
The lecture will be from the heart, deLuse said, and not as academically fo-cused as the other lectures may be. Her speech will
encompass what she has learned in a school setting as a student and a profes-sional, she said.
“I wanted to look across my time in the educational arena and figure out ‘What did I really get from it?’” deLuse said. “So I’m look-ing back across my time in school as a student and as a teacher and thinking about ‘What are the life lessons I’ve learned?’”
The Last Lecture Se-ries is free and open to the public. Each lecture will be preceded by a recep-tion at 7 p.m. and begin at 7:30 p.m. in the Pima room at the Memorial Union in Tempe.

sustainability and environmen-tal ethics concentration.
Allenby said the concentra-tion will be more of an applied study than a strictly academic program, which will be benefi-cial in real-world implementa-tion.
“[We are] beginning to try to create ethical structures or ideas that [students] can ap-ply in very new situations that may not, on the surface, pertain much to sustainability,” Allenby said. “If we can teach and help [students] to understand how to think, then they’ll be able to ad-just in new situations,”
Jason Robert, professor of ethics in biotechnology and medicine and coordinator of the biomedical ethics concentration,
said he agreed that teaching stu-dents how to apply knowledge of ethics in current situations is the goal of the program. On the biomedical ethics track, stu-dents will focus on learning how medicine works and the morals attached to the practice of medi-cine.
“[Students are] going to learn about ethical, cultural and so-cial issues throughout medicine from bench to bedside,” Robert said.
The Lincoln Center for Applied Ethics is currently accepting applications for applied ethics and the professions in all five concentrations at lincolncenter.asu.edu/students_MADegree. There is no deadline to apply for the program.

Mothers who are victims of domestic abuse or home-less will have a sweeter Eas-ter this year with the arrival of student-made care pack-ages.
ASU students helped as-semble the packages on Tues-day at the ASU Wells Fargo Student Center on the Down-town Phoenix campus.
Edyth Haro, program as-sistant for the Department of Student Engagement, said
the packages will be given to 75 mothers at Homeward Bound, an organization for families who are victims of domestic violence and home-less.
“[The people at Home-ward Bound] said they have some Easter baskets for the children, but the moms weren’t really getting any-thing,” said Haro, a recre-ation and tourism manage-ment senior.
The packages are aimed to pamper the mothers and include nail polish, lotion, lip
gloss, tea packages and can-dy, Haro said.
“We’re also making them cards, and students can write personal messages,” she said.
During the event, students chose from a variety of bags, cards and toiletries for the packages.
Small notebooks, key chains and puzzles were also available to be added to the bags.
Haro said Homeward Bound was chosen because it was something different, and
students could become aware of the organization.
“Maybe they’ll want to get themselves involved with [Homeward Bound],” she said. “It’s not that far from the Downtown campus if they want to volunteer.”
It’s always important to lend a helping hand in a time of need, she said.
“I just want to make sure students still have opportuni-ties to get involved even with their busy lives,” Haro said.
Meredith Rhoda, commu-nity resource coordinator for
Homeward Bound, said this event helped to bring aware-ness to the huge problem of domestic violence and home-lessness.
“It shows the moms that people care and that the stu-dents want to help and sup-port them,” Rhoda said.
Aldo Gonzalez, a nursing junior who helped assemble packages, said that mothers tend to be forgotten.
“I think it’s a good idea to help pamper them a little bit,” Gonzalez said. “A little deed like this could brighten
up their day.”Public relations freshman
Paige Soucie said this event shows how ASU wants to get involved with the community and how it’s trying to bring in students from the Downtown campus.
“It’s a great idea to help these women who are try-ing to get their lives back on track and who are also trying to help their children,” Soucie said.

PHOENIX — Some non-profit scholarship groups are receiving double or tri-ple the number of applica-tions that they normally re-ceive, making the competi-tion tougher during a time when students need finan-cial help more than ever.
One organization, the Ari-zona State University Par-ents Association, has seen a record 500 applications for its $4,000 annual scholar-ship, up from about 300 last year.
Students applying for the scholarship are asked to write a short statement on
why they need it.“A lot of what we see
in the application [state-ment] is fear of a parent job loss, job uncertainty or fear about housing fore-closures,” said Robin Okun Hengl, director of ASU par-ent programs.
The National Scholar-ship Providers Association, based in Boulder, Colo., said the spike in applications is occurring across the coun-try. The organization has not collected data on schol-arship applications but said many of its 250 members are reporting the trend.
Students are also seeking help from the Internet using
sites like FastWeb.com.The Web site reports that
its seasonal spike in Inter-net traffic so far this year is 20 percent, compared with the usual 5 to 10 percent.
Those who hand out schol-arships said several factors are contributing to the in-creased competition for awards.
“College costs continue to increase, and people’s ability to pay continues to decrease,” said Amy Wein-stein, executive director of the National Scholarship Providers Association.
Mark Kantrowitz, pub-lisher of FastWeb.com, said the tight credit mar-
ket has reduced the avail-ability of private loans, and the plunging stock market has dealt a blow to families’ so-called 529 college-savings plans.
“Families are much more concerned about how they are going to pay for school [now],” Kantrowitz said.
When seeking financial aid, college officials are tell-ing students to cast a wide net for scholarships this year and don’t be intimidat-ed by the competition.
“Don’t make assumptions. Go ahead and apply,” said Craig Fennell, ASU’s exec-utive director of student fi-nancial assistance.

NYC marriage bureau rebuffs same-sex couples Hundreds of same-sex cou-
ples seeking to wed were turned away from the city marriage bu-reau Thursday , part of a nation-wide protest aimed at recent de-cisions restricting the right to marry to a man and a woman.
Wearing signs that said “Just Not Married,” the activists were part of a wave of demonstrations expected throughout the day at marriage bureaus or county clerks’ offi ces from New York City to California , in communi-ties large and small.
Matt Flanders , 37 , of Brook-lyn , participated with his 29-year-old partner, Will Jennings . Both wore gold engagement rings.
When he was denied a mar-riage license, Flanders said he
told offi cials: “‘I should be able to marry the person I love.’ And they said, ‘We can only offer you a domestic partnership.’”
Micah Stanek , 23 , stood out-side in a fl oor-length wedding veil after he and his partner were rejected. He said he moved to New York from San Francisco after same-sex marriage was out-lawed in California on the No-vember ballot.
“New York is especially im-portant because the rest of the country follows what happens here,” he said.
Outside the bureau, protest-ers sang “Love and Marriage” and chanted, “What do we want? Marriage! When do we want it? Now!” One man held a sign that
read: “Love your husband? Let me love mine!”
The protests, part of the 12th annual Freedom to Marry Week , were considered more impor-tant than ever this year because they come in the wake of Cali-fornia’s Proposition 8 vote that overturned same-sex marriage and just as New Yorkers look to their state Senate to pass legisla-tion that could lead to legalized same-sex marriage.
Some of the largest gather-ings were expected in Califor-nia, where the state’s Supreme Court will hear oral arguments March 5 over whether to restore California same-sex marriages. The court could render a deci-sion as early as June.
Fresno police investigate taped beating by offi cer
Fresno’s police department has launched an internal af-fairs investigation into a vid-eo-recorded arrest of a home-less man who was beaten by one offi cer while another re-strained him.
The four-minute video, shot by a bystander Monday on a busy street, shows one offi cer standing over the man in the mud and holding his arms while the other offi cer delivers at least fi ve punches to his face, some with the homeless man’s hands behind his back.
Police Chief Jerry Dyer on Wednesday called the case dis-turbing, but said until the inves-tigation is complete, it won’t be known whether the offi cers’ ac-tions were appropriate.
“It’s very disturbing on the surface,” Dyer said. “I’ve watched it several times. There are other pieces that need to be looked at. Although a moment in time is crucial, it’s important
to look at all aspects of the offi -cers’ contact.”
The internal affairs inves-tigation should take about 30 days , Dyer said.
The names of the offi cers are not being released, but Dyer said neither has been cited for previous misconduct. One has served in the department for 10 years , the other for six .
Dyer said the offi cer who punched Glen Beaty , 52 , is now on medical leave with a broken pinky fi nger that will require surgery . The video shows him briefl y shaking out the hand that landed the punches. The other offi cer was placed on adminis-trative duty.
“I am deeply concerned about what I see in the video,” Fresno Mayor Ashley Swearengin said in a statement. “I understand that offi cers need to use force, at times, to protect themselves or to make an arrest. But the video itself is very disturbing.”
Satellites crash over Siberia; US ‘Iridium’ denies responsibility
The collision between U.S. and Russian communication satellites this week – the fi rst such crash in space – has cre-ated speeding clouds of debris that threaten other unmanned spacecraft in nearby orbits, Russian offi cials and experts said Thursday .
The smashup 500 miles (800 kilometers) over Siberia on Tues-day involved a derelict Russian spacecraft designed for military communications and a work-ing U.S. Iridium satellite, which serves commercial customers as well as the U.S. Department of Defense .
In a statement Thursday, Iridi-um, based in Bethesda, Maryland , denied that it was responsible for the crash. The collision scattered space debris in orbits 300 to 800 miles (500 to 1,300 kilometers) above Earth, according to Maj.-Gen. Alexander Yakushin , chief of staff for the Russian military’s Space Forces .
But Igor Lisov , a prominent Russian space expert, said Thurs-day he did not understand why NASA’s debris experts and Irid-ium had failed to prevent the col-lision, since the Iridium satellite was active and its orbit could be adjusted.
“It could have been a com-puter failure or a human error,” he said. “It also could be that they only were paying attention to smaller debris and ignoring the defunct satellites.”
Lisov said the debris may threaten a large number of earth-tracking and weather sat-ellites in similar orbits.
“There is a quite a lot of sat-ellites in nearby orbits,” he told The Associated Press. “The oth-er 65 Iridium satellites in simi-lar orbits will face the most se-rious risk, and there numerous earth-tracking and weather sat-ellites in nearby orbits. Frag-ments may trigger a chain of collisions.”
Buying toursof US homespopular amongChina’s rich
Beijing lawyer Ying Guohua is heading to the United States on a shopping trip, looking not for designer clothes or jewel-ry, but for a $1 million home in New York City or Los An-geles .
He expects to get a bargain. Ying is part of a growing num-ber of Chinese who are joining tours organized especially for investors who want to take ad-vantage of slumping U.S. real estate prices amid a financial crisis.
“It’s a great time to buy be-cause of the fi nancial crisis, and houses in large cities like New York and Los Angeles will defi -nitely go up in a few years,” Ying said. The home is an investment, but he’s also planning long-term: He hopes his 5-year-old son might use it if he goes to college in the United States.
While China’s ultra-rich have been buying property in the U.S. for years, the buying tours are new, made attractive by still-ris-ing Chinese income levels and American real estate prices that have been falling for two and a half years.
More than 100 Chinese buy-ers have joined such tours since late 2008 , according to Chen Hang , the China-born vice pres-ident of real estate at Fortune Group . The Pittsburgh, Penn. , company shows foreclosed com-mercial property to Chinese buy-ers.
“The Chinese are going to seize the opportunity to take ad-vantage of some great deals,” Chen said.
Ying, the Beijing lawyer, is one of 40 investors going to New York, California, Boston and Las Vegas on a Feb. 24 to March 6 tour organized by Beijing-based SouFun Holdings Ltd ., a real es-tate Web site . SouFun plans to show participants foreclosed properties priced at $300,000 to $800,000 .
“We never thought these tours would garner such in-terest, but we’ve had an over-whelming response,” said Sou-Fun CEO Richard Dai . “Before, we heard of Chinese or Hong Kong movie stars buying homes in the U.S., and now more and more Chinese can afford to have the same.”

Watered Down Farmers from the central Philippine provinces of Negros and Leyte, lie down as riot police disperse them using water cannons during a rally at the foot of the bridge leading to the Presidential Palace Thursday in Manila, Philippines. The farmers demand the extension of the Land Reform Law as well as the redistribution of more than 100 hectares of farmland allegedly owned by the family of Philippine President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo’s husband.

Some Sunny Perspective
It is time to sit back and fully evaluate over-the-top reports in the news a few weeks ago as reported by the International Agency for Research on Cancer on July !", incredibly suggesting that get-ting a suntan is now in the same risk category as cigarettes, arsenic and even plutonium.
# at’s ridiculous. Cigarettes, arsenic and plutonium all under-mine our body’s natural functions. But getting a suntan is di$ erent — it is a part of the body’s natural design.
Humans, like the rest of the planet, need sun exposure to sur-vive and thrive. Ignored in much news reporting were the very important nuances that de% ne humanity’s very important rela-tionship with UV light and sunshine. Speci% cally:
Not one single study exists anywhere in the world implicating tanning in a non-burning fashion as a signi% cant risk factor for permanent skin damage. Indeed, no study has ever been designed with protocol to ask this question.
Melanoma is more common in people who work indoors than in those who work outdoors. # e relationship between melanoma and sunlight cannot possibly be clear-cut. If it were a clear-cut relationship, outside workers would have higher incidence than inside workers.
Melanoma most commonly appears on parts of the body that do not receive regular exposure to sunlight. Again, the relation-ship between melanoma and sunlight is not evident. If it were, melanomas would appear most often on parts of the body that receive the most sunlight.
The sum of data do not substantively link indoor tanning equipment with an increased risk of melanoma. Indeed accord-ing to the IARC, &' of !! epidemiological studies ever conducted on this topic show no signi% cant association. # is confounding information was conspicuously absent in what was spoon-fed to the media.
Finally, consider this hypocrisy: Dermatology professionals still continue to use indoor tanning equipment in dermatology o( ces to treat psoriasis and other purely cosmetic disorders; a treatment called “phototherapy.” If what was widely reported by the IARC was true, then the dermatology profession would be guilty of that which they accuse indoor tanning facilities: increasing women’s risk of melanoma in exchange for treating a non-lethal disease, which would violate the “never do harm” provision of a physi-cian’s Hippocratic Oath.

Sophomore forward Laura Heyboer heads the ball away from Penn State defense Emma Thomson in the first half a game against Penn State on Sept. 27. Heyboer scored the game-winning goal in overtime.

STARTING 5 HIGHLIGHT UNMATCHED DECADE
It’s only right that the decade’s best team is well-rep-resented on the All-Decade team. Mateen Cleaves and Morris Peterson already have had their numbers retired, and Charlie Bell also might get that honor some day, but he gets knocked out of the starting lineup for Alan Anderson — just barely.
PG: Mateen Cleaves
(1996-2000, 12.5 ppg, 6.6 apg) — Cleaves is the best leader in MSU basketball his-tory, and maybe in all of MSU sports. He willed the Spar-tans to three Big Ten Champi-onships, two Final Fours and the 2000 national champion-ship. His No. 12 jersey is per-manently retired and hanging from Breslin Center’s rafters.
SG: Alan Anderson (2001-05, 9.5 ppg, 4.2 rpg, 2.4 apg) — Point guard, shoot-ing guard, small forward or
the post, the versatile Ander-son played everywhere for the Spartans. As a senior, Ander-son was a key contributor for the 2004-05 Final Four team.
SF: Morris Peterson (1995-2000, 11.6 ppg, 4.7 rpg, 37 percent 3-point) — He came off the bench as a soph-omore and junior — becoming the fi rst reserve in Big Ten his-tory to be named to the con-ference’s First-Team. The fol-lowing season, he was named Big Ten Player of the Year and led the Spartans to the 2000 national championship. Like Cleaves, his No. 42 will never be worn by another Spartan.
PF: Andre Hutson (1997-2001, 10.1 ppg, 6.1 rpg) — The dominant post play-er for the 2000 national cham-pionship team, Hutson start-ed almost every game during his career. He ranks 16th on MSU’s all-time scoring list and
04-05 team shines on decade squad
Best freshman performanceHeyboer’s splash on national scene tops list of strong Spartan underclassmen
Our list of best freshman performances of the decade is higlighted by a group of ath-letes who not only had phenom-enal breakout seasons, but went on to have illustrious careers.
Some of them have seen their playing days at MSU come to an end, while oth-ers continue to re-write the record books on a daily basis.
1. Laura Heyboer, 2008 — All she did was record a hat trick in her fi rst career game and fi nish the sea-son with 21 goals. The Hudsonville, Mich., native was named Big Ten Offen-sive Player of the Year, Big Ten Freshman of the Year, Soccerbuzz.com Nation-al Freshman of the Year and NSCAA All-American.
2. Allyssa DeHaan, 2006-07 — No moment defi nes
DeHaan’s freshman sea-son better than when she took Ohio State All-Amer-ican center Jessica Daven-port to task for 25 points, eight rebounds and fi ve blocks, leading MSU to a 62-59 win against the No. 4 Buckeyes.DeHaan averaged 12.5 points and 7.5 rebounds a game on the season.n Her accolade-fi lled career continues this season, but DeHaan already is the pro-gram’s leader in blocked shots and is closing in on the NCAA career record.
3. Brett Swenson, 2006 — The Florida recruit fi nal-ly brought some stability to the position and was named Freshman All-American. Swenson concluded this season as the MSU football program’s all-time leader in fi eld goals, points scored and extra points.
4. Manouk Vernij, 2009 — Second Team All-Big Ten hon-oree recorded 36 points and led the Big Ten in assists during regular season conference play.
5. Jeff Lerg, 2005-06 — Stole the starting job early in the season and never looked back, posting a 17-6-6 record and 1.96 goals-against average.
Honorable MentionLauren Hill, led team in
goals (8) and points (18) and was named to Big Ten All-Freshman team (2006)
Chantae Miller, scored 34 points and was named sec-ond team All-Big Ten (2008)
Zach Randolph, aver-aged 10.6 points 6.7 rebounds per game, helping team to Final Four (2000-01)
A.J. Thelen, named All-American with 11 goals and 18 assists (2003-04)
was the Spartans’ leading rebounder for two seasons.
C: Paul Davis (2002-06, 13.2 ppg, 7 rpg) — One of the top two or three cen-ters in MSU history, Davis ranks 8th on MSU’s all-time scoring list and fourth on the rebounding list. As a junior, he was part of MSU’s 2004-05 Final Four team, and dominated as a senior, averaging 17.5 points and 9.1 rebounds a game.
Second teamPG: Drew Neitzel (2004-
08, 11.1 ppg, 4.2 apg, 39.9 percent 3-point)
SG: Charlie Bell (1997-2001, 10.5 ppg, 4.5 rpg, 2.7 apg)
SF: Maurice Ager (2002-06, 12.5 ppg, 3.4 rpg)
PF: Jason Richardson (1999-2001, 9.6 ppg, 5 rpg)
C: Goran Suton (2005-09, 8.1 ppg, 6.6 rpg)
Four of the fi ve players on the fi rst team come from the program’s best team in 2004-05. Liz Shimek and Lindsey Bowen are the top two scor-ers in program history, and Kristen Haynie was the cor-nerstone of that team. Allyssa DeHaan has been a force since stepping on campus and Victo-ria Lucas-Perry was overshad-owed during her time but was a consistently solid player.
PG: Kristen Haynie (2001-05, 9.4 ppg, 4.7 rpg, 4.5 apg) — There has been per-haps no better all-around player than Haynie. She ranks among the best in pro-gram history in assists (fi rst), steals (fi rst), scoring (10th) and rebounds (17th).
SG: Lindsey Bowen (2002-03, 13.3 ppg, 40 percent 3-point) — The best pure shooter in program history,
Bowen ranks as MSU’s second all-time leading scorer with 1,739 points. She also has made the most 3-pointers (294), has the best 3-point percentage (40) and best free-throw percent-age (87.8) in program history.
SF: Victoria Lucas-Per-ry (2003-07, 8.8 ppg, 4.4 rpg) — A three-year starter, Lucas-Perry came into her own as a junior and senior, averaging more than 10 points a game both sea-sons. As a senior, Lucas-Per-ry averaged 13.5 points and six rebounds per game.
PF: Liz Shimek (2002-06, 13.6 ppg, 8.6 rpg) — Shimek is without question the best and most dominant women’s basketball player in school his-tory. Her 1,780 career points are the most in program histo-ry, as are her 1,130 rebounds. In fact, no one else has even
pulled down 1,000 rebounds.
C: Allyssa DeHaan (2006-present, 12.5 ppg, 7 rpg, 3.9 bpg) — The tall-est player in program histo-ry, at 6-foot-9 DeHaan has been on the path to greatness ever since her freshman sea-son. With nearly a full sea-son to go, DeHaan ranks sev-enth on MSU’s all-time scor-ing and rebounding lists, and is nearing the NCAA record for most blocks.
Second teamPG: Brittney Thom-
as (2007-Present, 6.7 ppg, 4.7 rpg, 3.4 apg, 1.6 spg)
SG: Rene Haynes (2003-07, 8.7 ppg, 3.5 rpg)
SF: Aisha Jefferson (2005-Present, 9.3 ppg, 5.1 rpg)
PF: Becky Cummings (1997-2001, 10.6 ppg, 6.1 rpg)

Offi cials: Child not in balloon
Tensions rise after incursionsSEOUL, South Korea — North Korea warned South
Korea on Thursday that a spate of incursions along their disputed sea border could spark a naval clash, in what analysts said was a threat to reinfl ame tensions if it doesn’t get what it wants from recent conciliatory gestures.
After months of provocations including nuclear and missile tests, North Korea has recently reached out to Seoul and Washington. It freed American and South Korean detainees, lifted restrictions on border cross-ings and resumed reunions of families separated by the Korean War.
This week, however, it has sent mixed signals to the outside world, starting with a barrage of short-range missile tests on Monday.
Media reports said the North appeared ready to test-fi re more missiles, but it offered a rare apology Wednesday for releasing a torrent of water from a dam that caused a deadly fl ood in South Korea.
On Thursday, the North accused South Korean war-ships of broaching its territory in waters off their west coast — the scene of deadly naval skirmishes in 1999 and 2002.

South Carolina pardoned syndicated radio host Tom Joyner’s great-uncles Wednesday, nearly a century after they were sent to the electric chair for the 1913 murder of a Confederate Army veteran.
Offi cials believe the two men are the fi rst in the state to be posthumously pardoned in a capital murder case.
Black landowners Thomas and Meeks Griffi n were executed 94 years ago after a jury convicted them of killing 73-year-old John Lewis, a wealthy white vet-eran living in Blackstock, a Chester County town 40 miles north of Columbia. Two other black men were also put to death for the crime.
“This won’t bring them back, but this will bring clo-sure. I hope now that they rest in peace,” Joyner said. “This is a good day.”
Joyner, who lives in Dallas, and his attorney made a presentation to the state parole and pardon board on Wednesday, then left the room while the board voted. Family members who fl ew in for the hearing included his wife and sons, of Dallas, and brother and his family, from Jackson, Miss.
Though he talks to roughly 8 million listeners on the radio daily, Joyner said facing the seven board members “scared me to death.” When he was told how they voted, he said he waved his hands and hugged family members in a fl ood of relief and joy. He also called in to his radio show.

Cops: 300-lb man in dress tries to steal rum, cola
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. — Police said a person believed to be a man disguised as a woman in a black dress tried to steal a bottle of rum and cola drinks from a local drug store. The store’s loss prevention offi cer unsuccessfully tried to stop the person, who is described as about 20 years old, 6-foot, 3-inches tall and weighing 300 pounds.
FORT COLLINS, Colo. (AP) — A 6-year-old boy was found hiding in a cardboard box in his family’s garage attic Thursday after being feared aboard a homemade helium balloon that hurtled 50 miles through the sky on live television.
The discovery marked a bizarre end to a saga that started when the giant silvery balloon fl oated away from the family’s yard Thursday morning, sparking a frantic rescue operation that involved military helicopters and briefl y shut down Denver International Airport.
But Sheriff Jim Alderden turned to reporters during a news conference and gave a thumbs up and said 6-year-old Falcon Heene is “at the house.” ‘’Apparently he’s been there the whole time,” he said.
The boy’s father, Richard Heene, said the family was tinkering with the balloon Thursday and that he scolded Falcon for getting inside a compartment on the craft. He said Falcon’s brother had seen him inside the compartment before it took off and that’s why they thought he was in there when it launched.
