Salon owners say it won’t hinder loyal customers

BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Tanning bed owners like Lori Shelton are counting on loyal customers to keep a new tax from hurting business at salons this summer. With the arrival of spring and prom and wedding season, Shelton, owner of The Tan Line on N. Main Street, is seeing the annual peak in her business. She even reports an increase in business from the same time last year. But a 10 percent tax on total tanning purchases will be put into effect July 1, leaving customers to decide if the extra cost is something they want to spend. “It’s pocket change to a lot of people,” Shelton said. “The only thing that is going to bother me is it’s more paperwork for me and my managers.” The tax is part of the federal health care reform overhaul, and advocates say it could protect people from skin cancers and raise $2.7 billion dollars to expand coverage to uninsured Americans. According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, the tax “is an important step forward in the fight against skin cancer.”

Shelton said she stresses tanning education and moderation to her customers. “We always try to educate our customers to where they don’t abuse tanning,” she said. Melanie Pyrtle, one of Shelton’s customers who has tanned regularly for 20 years, said she doesn’t agree with the tax, but it probably won’t stop her from tanning. “It wouldn’t affect me,” Pyrtle said while waiting for her tanning appointment in the lobby of the salon. “I’m not going to change my habits. The government is going to get our money one way or another anyway.”

City eyes funding for park improvements BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – City officials have identified a funding source for several possible parks and recreation and transportation improvements. The city wants to use about $5.6 million in twothirds bonds to fund several projects. The High Point City Council is expected to hold a public hearing on the proposal next week as part of the approval process for the bonds.

Mildred Baldus, 73 Eddie Bernabe Bythia Hanes, 98 Lindsay Hipp, 12 John Hurt, 71 Maxine James, 85 Alice Loflin, 57 Linda Marquis, 53 Mary Nichols Helen Olszewski, 88 Patty Rabon, 48 Mack Steffey, 58 Eddie Wall, 81 Obituaries, 2-3B

“We have basically done an analysis, and we can structure this debt so that we can pay for it within the existing funds that we have available for debt service,” said Assistant City Manager Pat Pate. Two-thirds bonds don’t require voter approval to be issued. State law enables local governments to borrow money equal to two-thirds of the amount of the previous year’s retired bond debt. The bonds would not require a tax increase. The bonds could be is-

sued in June and be available for improvements to the High Point Athletic Complex, such as reconfiguration, resurfacing and marking of the parking lot on the north side of School Park Road, as well as improvements to bathrooms and concession facilities. “We’re looking at doing the work in conjunction with improvements that are being made by the school board at Simeon Stadium,” Pate said in reference to a Guilford County Schools group setting priorities for

bond funds that were approved for stadium-related improvements. “Our money would go toward paving of the parking lot that’s basically used as a visitor lot for Simeon Stadium and the one we use for the track and the north soccer fields.” The other parks and recreation work involved is the planned completion of the city’s greenway from University Park on Deep River Road to the Piedmont Environmental Center on Penny Road. The funds also would go

toward various road improvements, streetscapes, sidewalks and other work in core city areas. If the funding is approved, the city could start working on some of the projects in June. Engineering design work already has begun on the Athletic Complex parking lot improvements and the city has received federal funding through the office of Congressman Howard Coble for a design study for the greenway project.

The award went to Pete Lockhart of Lexington, who delivers mail in the Archdale area. The award recognizes drivers who have gone at least 30 years without a preventable motor vehicle accident. Lockhart was honored at a ceremony at the Archdale Station Post Office. The Million Mile Club is the highest honor given to a professional driver in the workplace by the National Safety Council and, according to the NSC, is one of the highest honors in professional driving.

Tea Party kickoff draws hundreds MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

WILSON – There was an air of excitement as the Wilson North Carolina Tea Party chapter kicked off its local organization on the lawn of the Wilson County Public Library Tuesday. Several hundred residents gathered to listen as speakers expressed their dissatisfaction with elected officials and talked about how they believe media has played a role in an inaccurate perception of the group. “We’ve been seen as racist and as bigots and

as violent people who throw out insults and spit on people,” said Joel Killion, who started the Wilson chapter. “That’s not us. I’ve been to every tea party within a three hour drive in the last 18 months. I’ve never seen any of that.” Killion describes the group as older, family people and children. Making fun of the perception the Tea Party has, Timothy F. Johnson, vice chairman of the North Carolina Republican Party, greeted the group. “I’d like to greet you, my racist, gun toting, constitution loving, lib-

erty fighting, freedom protecting friends,” Johnson said. “I hope the media caught all of that.” Johnson told the group it’s time they take the country back and hold elected officials accountable. Johnson told the crowd his heritage is American and his race is human, not AfricanAmerican. He said too often race had come up in the media, when there isn’t a race issue. “The liberal media wants to always taint things and, I think, to create a race conversation when there isn’t a race conversation or a

race conflict,” said Johnson. “The reality is our country is only 13 percent black. So people are looking for hundreds of blacks at these events and that’s just not reality.” Geoff Byrd held up a three-dimensional shark he made protesting government spending. Byrd said he wants middle class welfare to stop. “Middle class welfare is cash for clunkers, weatherization, home buying credit and donut hole check for seniors,” Byrd said. “These things are just a throw away of borrowed money. If I need a new car, I’ll buy a new car.”

Towns rein in Internet cafes MCCLATTCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

CARY – Two western Wake County towns made their positions clear on businesses that deal in electronic gaming: We don’t want you, but we can’t ban you. So Apex and Holly Springs did what they considered to be the next best thing. They tightened rules on socalled Internet sweep-

stakes parlors. In separate actions last week, the towns voted to limit where the controversial game rooms may take root. Apex also ruled on whom they can serve, and when. In a 4-1 vote, council members in Apex agreed to classify the controversial game rooms as adult businesses. Their decision means that sweepstakes parlors would be restricted to the town’s

industrial zones, and even there only as a special use. The establishments would have to be at least 1,000 feet from churches, schools, day cares, residential areas and public parks. They may not cater to customers under the age of 18. Entrepreneurs seeking to operate Internet cafes in the future will be bound to the hours of 7 a.m. to midnight, seven days a

week. “The goal of this ordinance is to limit this use almost exclusively throughout Apex,” said Councilman Mike Jones. Seven miles south in Holly Springs, officials unanimously adopted similar rules. An ordinance in Holly Springs doesn’t place limitations on the hours of operation for cybercafes. Nor does the law lump together Internet cafes with adult businesses.

LANCASTER, Ohio (AP) – A county health department in Ohio has closed because of a hygiene issue under its own roof: an infestation of fleas. Officials with the Fairfield County Department of Health said Wednesday that its offices would be shut

down through the weekend so the building can be cleaned thoroughly and fogged with insecticide. Fleas can transmit disease, but county Health Commissioner Frank Hirsch says he does not believe the bugs have posed a health risk at the department in Lan-

caster, about 30 miles southeast of Columbus. He says they’ve mostly been an annoyance for his employees and have been a recurring problem for years. Several public programs scheduled at the building this week have been postponed until Monday.

CINCINNATI (AP) – Authorities in North Carolina on Wednesday arrested a soldier who is accused with three other men of assaulting a homeless man in Ohio just because they wanted to beat someone up. Spc. Travis D. Condor, stationed at Fort Bragg in North Carolina, and the other men – Pvt. Riley Feller, Michael Hesson and an unnamed suspect – had been drinking when one of them suggested that they go out and “kick somebody’s butt,” Cincinnati police have said. They then decided to target a homeless person they didn’t know, police said. The homeless man, John Johnson, had been sleeping at his encampment under a bridge on April 10, when the men beat him with a baseball bat and pipe and cursed at him, police said. Johnson, 52, suffered a fractured cheekbone and had cuts and bruises over his body. “They kept calling me a bum and telling me to get a job,” Johnson said Tuesday. Hesson, a 24-year-old civilian, lives in the Cincinnati area, and police say the other three suspects apparently were in

Brian Fickel, a spokesman for the 82nd Airborne Division. Condor, 25, will be transferred to the custody of civilian authorities, Fickel said. Ohio authorities were seeking extradition to return Condor to Cincinnati to face a charge of felonious assault. Feller, who is based at Fort Knox in Kentucky, waived extradition earlier Wednesday and was to be returned to Cincinnati to face a charge of felonious assault, authorities said. Feller, 24, is from Union, Ky., according to the Army. It could not immediately be determined Wednesday whether Condor and Feller had attorneys to represent them, and military officials said they could not confirm whether the two men had attorneys. There were no phone listings for Condor in Savannah or for Feller in Union. Hesson was the first of the suspects to be arrested on a charge of felonious assault. He was released on bond Tuesday.

6 arrested in fake ID ring bust MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

AP

HAW RIVER – Six people were arrested Wednesday as part of an Alamance County investigation into false identifications. The Alamance County Sheriff’s Office said the probe started after a drive-by shooting March 6 in Haw River. An undercover investigation ensued, and local, state and federal authorities searched three locations today. The sheriff’s office said authorities seized computer and camera equipment; half a gram of cocaine; 742 grams of marijuana, including 24 small marijuana plants; two vehicles; and several fraudulent documents.

The sheriff’s office did not say what kind of false documents were allegedly produced. Six people were arrested and charged: • Pedro Gonzalez Matias, 51, of 918 E. Main St.; possession or manufacture of certain fraudulent forms of identification, trafficking in stolen identity, conspiracy and two counts of identity theft. • Pedro “Shortyâ€? Gonzalez, 21, of 918 E.

Former PM urges interim government in Iraq

No fines for Palestinian settlement workers RAMALLAH, West Bank – Palestinians who violate a ban by their government on working in Israeli settlements will be given time to find other employment before facing punishment, a senior official said Wednesday, reflecting the difficulty of enforcing the measure in the job-strapped West Bank. The law, which also prohibits the sale of Israeli settlement products in the West Bank, was signed this week by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. Violators face up to five years in prison and thousands of dollars in fines.

BAGHDAD (AP) – The front-runner in Iraq’s recent parliamentary elections on Wednesday called for the formation of an internationally supervised caretaker government to prevent the country from sliding into violence, even as a double suicide blast killed seven in south Baghdad. Former Prime Minister Ayad Allawi called for international involvement to stop what he called attempts to “steal� the election, while the blasts underlined worries that wrangling over the close vote could open the way for renewed sectarian violence. The two car bombs exploded within five minutes of each other around sunset near a security checkpoint and a market place in the Shiite enclave of Abu Dashir, which is surrounded by the staunchly Sunni neighborhood of Dora.

Vatican: Pope may apologize for abuse cases VATICAN CITY – Pope Benedict XVI may issue a mea culpa for the church’s handling of clerical sexual abuse cases when he attends a meeting of the world’s clergy in June, the Vatican official in charge of handling abuse cases said. Cardinal William Levada also said he intended to hold up the U.S. policy dealing with abuse as a model for bishops around the word.

Leaders of India, Pakistan to hold talks today THIMPHU, Bhutan – The prime ministers of India and Pakistan will talk on the sidelines of a regional meeting today, an Indian official said, indicating a possible thaw in relations between the South Asian nuclear rivals. Peace talks between India and Pakistan were stalled after a terror attack on Mumbai, India’s financial hub, in 2008 in which 166 people were killed.

UK campaign gaffe: Brown calls voter a bigot LONDON (AP) – Britain’s Prime Minister blundered into the first major gaffe in his country’s short campaign season Wednesday when an open microphone captured him slamming a voter he’d just been trying to win over. Brown, apparently forgetting that he’d left a television microphone pinned to his chest, called 66-year-old Gillian Duffy a “bigoted woman� as he was being driven from a public meeting where she had needled him on immigration. Within minutes the bad-tempered aside had exploded across the British media, and within a couple of hours Brown was rushing back to her home

to beg Duffy’s forgiveness and writing to his supporters to make clear he’d apologized. All the rest of the country could do was look on as the cringe-inducing drama played out over television and radio. The debacle dealt Brown a big setback on the eve of the last TV debate ahead of the May 6 vote. Duffy, a retired widow and a self-described supporter of Brown’s Labour party, met with the prime minister at a campaign stop in the northern town of Rochdale and questioned him about the influx of eastern European immigrants who have come to Britain.

Anti-government protesters, some using police shields, clash with Thai soldiers on a highway on the outskirts of Bangkok, Thailand, Wednesday.

Thai authorities, protesters clash; 1 soldier dies BANGKOK – Thai troops fired rifles and threw tear gas at a crowd of anti-government protesters riding motorbikes down a busy expressway Wednesday, blocking their effort to take the demonstrations that have paralyzed central Bangkok into the suburbs. The hourslong confrontation killed one soldier – apparently from friendly fire – and wounded 18 other people as it transformed the suburban streets into a battle zone.

Men and women injured in the conflict, including amputees on crutches, joined the crowd in the reviewing stand. But it was who didn’t come that was telling:

GENEVA – Swiss authorities are investigating a macabre discovery: Dozens of urns filled with human ashes stuck in the mud beneath Lake Zurich. The surprise find – by divers searching for their boat’s lost sunroof – is drawing attention to some uncomfortable aspects of assisted suicide, a practice permitted in Switzerland but which is coming under increasing public scrutiny. Zurich police won’t say if they have evidence directly connecting the rust-colored urns to Dignitas, a Swiss group that has helped hundreds of people take their lives in recent years.

Pakistan: Militants, troops clash in N. Waziristan MIR ALI, Pakistan – Suspected militants attacked a paramilitary checkpoint Wednesday in a region where Pakistan has resisted U.S. pressure to wage an offensive against Islamist extremists, intelligence officials said. Four insurgents died and one soldier was wounded. The clash was the second in less than a week in the North Waziristan tribal region, and could undermine truces that the army is believed to have struck with militant groups in the region.

The step was a gesture to Poland in a case that looms large in Polish history and has soured relations between the two countries for decades.

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip – Egyptian forces pumped gas into a cross-border tunnel used to smuggle goods into the Gaza Strip on Wednesday, killing four Palestinians, Hamas officials said. Egypt has been under pressure to seal off the hundreds of tunnels that are a key economic lifeline for the blockaded Palestinian territory but which are also used to bring in weapons for the Islamic militant group.

Writers show support for, opposition to candidates Hege served his time, now should be sheriff again I’m writing in full support of Gerald Hege. Hege is all in the news about him running for sheriff. People in this community of Davidson County don’t think he should be re-elected. Why, because he can’t carry a gun, or because he has a past, or as people say a record. Well, I say who cares if he has a record, what he did in the past is history. Now I’m not saying what he did wasn’t wrong, because it was. But he has already paid for his mistake, and now he is a free man, to once again run for sheriff. He had a slogan if you do the crime then you do the time. Well, he has done all of that. Now he is free. So everyone that thinks people can’t mess up in life, and get the chance to start over, then they are the ones who don’t understand what the real world is all about. When Hege was sheriff, everyone gave him such praise, and how much they loved him. Now those same people turned their back on him and talked about him so bad for what he’d done. Well, if you are a true Christian, then you know you have to forgive and forget, because Hege has already paid for what he’s done and has been forgiven. I support Hege all the way. He is a good man with good morals and standards, and he stands up for what he believes in. And he knows how to speak up to all the people that try to put him down. Hege should hold his head up high, stand proud, and walk tall because he have my vote to be sheriff again in Davidson County. SHARYN GAULDIN High Point (Davidson County resident)

the public can do is to educate themselves on the candidates and get out and vote. What have your current senators done for you lately? In particular, what has Sen. Burr done for you lately? A vote for Burks would be a great start for getting the people of North Carolina an actual voice in Washington. SCOTT RITCH High Point

Randolph has sheriff’s A race, too

L

ots of attention has focused on the Republican primary for the Davidson County sheriff’s post this year. But a rather spirited GOP primary race for sheriff has developed in Randolph County with its own interesting storylines, too. Nearly 2,000 people already have participated in early voting. First-term Randolph Sheriff Maynard Reid of Asheboro, a 32-year veteran of law enforcement, is being challenged by one of his former lieutenants, 53-year-old Gary Davis of Randleman, a 20-year veteran of law enforcement. It’s interesting that neither candidate says much about the period of time in which they had that employer/employee relationship. Reid won’t comment about it; Davis simply says he decided to retire early after Reid found out about his intentions to seek the sheriff’s post. In campaigning, Reid touts a decrease in Randolph crime, as recorded in uniform crime report statistics, and his efforts to curb drugs, gangs and sexual predators. Davis says he wants to increase training standards and improve operating procedures, for examples, by instituting a promotions process based on performance and having a full-time internal affairs investigator. Clearly, the Randolph Sheriff’s Office is a more professional and better trained unit than it was 30 years ago. But Davis says improvements still are needed. We’ll see what voters in Randolph think about that next week.

A gay in Riverdale? What’s the big deal?

nd what shall we say about the fact that there is to be a homosexual in Riverdale? You know where Riverdale is, of course. It lies at that junction of wholesomeness and Americana where, for almost 70 years, it has been home to Archie Andrews, Betty Cooper, Veronica Lodge, Jughead Jones and the other eternal teenagers of Archie Comics. Last week, the company announced a new addition to the cast. In September, it said, in Veronica #202, Kevin Keller debuts in a story that finds the titular spoiled rich girl mysteriously unable to get his attention despite using all her feminine wiles. “She’s not so bad,” Kevin confides to Jughead. “I’m just not interested in dating her. ... It’s nothing against her. I’m gay.” And what shall we say about that? A handful of those who commented on CNN’s Web site didn’t have to think twice. Or, for that matter, once. One vowed to ban Archie Comics from his or her home, in order to protect children from “perversion.” Another moaned, “This is crazy, why do they have to bring gay people into everything.” Of significantly more interest was a piece on Salon.com by Douglas Wolk, who has written a number of books on comic books. Wolk put a skeptic’s spin on the news, noting correctly that Kevin Keller is hardly the first openly gay character in comics – just the first in Archie’s world. And he predicted – probably also correctly – that poor Kevin is doomed to be Riverdale’s token homosexual, allowing the company to crow its commitment to diversity while he exists on the periphery, never breaking into a core cast that hasn’t changed since the Roosevelt years, much less getting to kiss a handsome boy. But even stipulating all that, it would be a mistake to dismiss what’s happening in Riverdale. This looms as a watershed moment. That’s precisely “because” Riverdale exists at that junction of wholesomeness and Americana. There are few entities in mass media more conservative than Archie Comics; indeed, some years back, the characters were licensed for a Christian evangelical series

of books. So when it comes to introducing Riverdale’s first openly gay teenager, the salient issue isn’t how well they do it or what they stand to gain from doing it, but that they are doing it at all. Can you imagine the company OPINION feeling compelled to introduce this character 20 years ago? Or Leonard even 10? Of course not. Twenty Pitts years ago, homosexuality was ■■■ dangerous, 10 years ago, it was risque. The appearance of a gay character in Archie Comics strongly suggests that it has become, is becoming, mainstream. Even safe. So people like those on CNN’s message board must surely know they’re fighting the rear-guard action of a battle they’ve already lost. When a Kevin Keller enrolls in Riverdale High, that’s a white flag running up the pole, enemy soldiers raising their hands. Which is not to suggest the fight for full gay citizenship is won. But it is to suggest that the parameters of that fight have changed. It is to suggest that, message board malcontents notwithstanding, we are at least done contesting the very right of gay men and lesbians to simply “be” – and to be seen, being. Occasionally, and understandably, one hears gay people complain about the slow pace of their progress. But progress has this way of sneaking up on you, of suddenly being there when you didn’t see it coming. We think progress is a lightning bolt and sometimes, it is. But more often, it is a series of incremental changes whose full importance we see only in hindsight. This will likely be one of them. So what should we say now that there is a homosexual in Riverdale? How about: Welcome to the 21st century. We’ve been waiting for you.

No question, Charlie Crist should remain a Republican unravel our economy, thread by thread. Floridians of all stripes can’t get that image out of their heads. Neither should Charlie OPINION Crist. He made a mistake. He Armstrong should probably Williams admit that in some Republican forum (yes, even in private works), and move on from there. Heck, even wise men make mistakes. They just don’t make them twice. So no matter what label Crist posts after his name come Friday, I believe he’s damaged goods today. Third, Crist is a moderate in a center-right country that is increasingly tilted toward the middle. Frankly, the party needs that to show non-Tea Party followers this is a bigtent organization, waiting to embrace those of all political stripes, especially the frustrated masses fleeing the Democratic Party like rats from a sinking ship. The electorate is disillusioned and despondent. They’re willing to give Republicans the benefit of the doubt and a second chance, but

lorida Gov. Charlie Crist has a difficult decision to make, if he hasn’t made it already. As the filing deadline loomed for Crist to switch his party affiliation and seek the state’s Senate seat as an independent, I’m sure the temptation is strong to prove those obstinate GOPers wrong and show that he can indeed win in such a moderately-minded jurisdiction. But Crist should remain a Republican. He needs to. And frankly, the Republican Party needs Charlie Crist. First of all, if Crist bolts the party now, he’ll seal his fate as a political roman candle – a colorful, fiery, yet short-lived flash. He will have no future apparatus to help him run in any races, either as an indy, Bull Moose or something else. Yes, the leader matters. But if you lack any formal campaign structure, even the best messages and messenger run flat. And the GOP faithful will make sure Crist has no apparatus in future years if he switches parties. Second, the good governor needs to realize why folks are against him today. He committed a cardinal sin of not only embracing a Democrat, but embracing the man who is single-handedly trying to

not Bush Republicans. As much as I love the former president, this electorate would be more enamored with a Colin Powell Republican. I’m not saying I agree with every stance of moderates; just stating a political reality. The public wants common-sense approaches with a sensitivity to the plights of those less fortunate, not Wall Street. The Grand Ole Party has not fully escaped that stigma. Republicans ignore that at their own peril. Finally, the future’s a long way off. Crist can begin this week by rebuilding his GOP bona fides by stepping aside, endorsing Rubio wholeheartedly, and actively work to get the GOP candidate elected. That banks valuable political capital for a future Crist run, as a Republican. Who knows, perhaps President Romney will make Crist his Secretary of HHS. The sky’s the limit for this guy if he just thinks smartly about his next steps and checks his ego at the door this week.

ontinual campaigning is part of modern politics. In the past, a president was elected, and then lawmakers settled down and governed. Today, we are overwhelmed with highly charged political rhetoric that is aimed at scoring points for future elections. And there are many factors contributing to the occurrences. Extreme partisanship is partially to blame. More than ever, we have chosen sides. We are a divided nation. We are Republican or Democrat. Far from being cordial, we snarl at each other. It seems we just can’t come together and work on the issues of the day. We can’t let down our guard or the other guy might take advantage. So government comes to a standstill. It stops, and the citizens are the losers. Continual campaigning happens because politics has become a form of entertainment. Nightly news shows broadcast celebrity pundits for celebrity politicians. Sarah Palin comes on the scene; she complains about the president in wellcrafted speeches. She is only a half-term Alaska governor, but she has the zest and sex appeal for real stardom. Glenn Beck stands up and rants about the words “social justice� in churches. The man is sure that certain religious organizations have a socialist agenda. He encourages people to run from them. He is a showman with his props and board images. He can show you the winding road to socialism. Rachel Maddow makes cocktails on her program, giving an extensive lesson on “bitters.� We watch political shows because “Leave it to Beaver� no longer fits our times. Continual campaigning results from denying the legitimacy of the president. “Birthers� say Obama was not born in the United States and

so cannot be president. They deny his victory and thus his right to govern; the presidential election was a sham and OPINION somebody else should be in Kristine his place. The Kaiser campaign goes ■■■on and again, nobody can do the nation’s business. Continual campaigning happens because we are a competitive people. We like to keep tallies, and we like to win. Social cooperation is for weaklings and toadies. Capitalism is our society’s foundation, and its object is to beat out the other guy, to get ahead and profit. Sadly, continual campaigning is not good for America. We need bipartisanship, to work where we can find common ground. The GOP’s party of “no� often serves to obstruct beneficial legislation. The filibuster was not meant to bring government to a halt. Let’s meet in the middle and compromise to the best of our ability for the sake of the country. Let’s make our politics about issues rather than celebrities. Even good legislation should be dull. Let’s truly bore ourselves with a bill’s content instead of often looking for hype. Let’s accept big pundits as paid showmen. Let’s acknowledge that Barack Obama is the legitimate leader of our great country, elected fairly and squarely. Let us love capitalism but occasionally strive to work for community. Strength also comes from shared ideals. We will become a stronger nation when continual campaigning subsides. We will be able to govern. KRISTINE KAISER lives in Kernersville.

HIGH POINT – High Point police will mark something of a milestone this weekend when they take to the rooftop of Krispy Kreme for a good cause. The nationwide fundraising program to benefit Special Olympics, “Cops on Doughnut Shops,” originated in High Point 10 years ago. Members of the department collect donations from customers and the general public as they eat, sleep and play on the rooftop starting Friday night and ending Sunday afternoon. “It’s grown from one store 10 years ago to 35 stores in the country that are going to participate this weekend,” said High Point police Capt. Tony Hamrick. “I think it’s a great way to raise money and awareness for Special Olympics. There’s been some bad economic times here lately, and things seem to be getting better. I think donations are coming up a little bit, so we hope to do well this weekend.” The department has raised almost $69,000 through the event since its inception, Hamrick said. Donations come from patrons who give cash or purchase Special Olympics Law Enforcement Torch Run T-shirts and ball caps that will be available at Krispy Kreme throughout the weekend. Hamrick said a new way for patrons to donate has been added this year in the form of a computer at the store, where people can use debit or credit cars to donate through a secure Web site called firstgiving.com. “Cops on Doughnut Shops has grown into a wonderful event that gets the whole community involved in supporting Special Olympics,” said Bob Gobrecht, managing director of Special Olympics North America. “We are fortunate to have such a strong and collaborative relationship with our men and women in law enforcement, and are truly thankful for Krispy Kreme’s willingness to help raise funds to ensure our athletes can continue to participate in sports and become champions of respect, acceptance and inclusion.” pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

Spring Daze blossoms in Thomasville Saturday event expected to be biggest ever BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

THOMASVILLE – Organizers of Thomasville’s seventh annual Spring Daze festival believe this year’s event will be the biggest to date. Carol Brown, chairperson of the Thomasville Beautification Commission, said more than 80 vendors will be at the event. Spring Daze, organized by the beautification commission, will be held 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in downtown Thomasville. “Each year, we are getting more and more vendors,” Brown said. “Last year it was over 70, and this year it’s over 80.

are telling other people. I just think that everybody loves this event.” Brown said a variety of booths will be set up at the event, ranging from vendors peddling food to jewelry and flower vendors. She said the Davidson County Master Gardeners also will attend the event. “We just want every-

body to come out and support the vendors,” Brown said. “Most of our vendors are from within driving distance, maybe an hour or so away. In a sense, you are actually helping the economy in Thomasville and North Carolina. I think that’s a plus. These are not vendors who travel from state to state.” For youngsters, there will be vendors selling children’s items and church groups conducting children’s activities. The Fair Grove Fire Department also will have its smokehouse on hand for children. “We have something for everyone,” Brown

said. The event also will feature music throughout the day. New Wine, Forty Days, Shining Light Singers, The Gospel Sensations and City Manager Kelly Craver are among local acts that will perform at the Gazebo. Brown noted that this year’s festival will be held the same day as the first Thomasville Tourism, ECHO Chainsaw Sculpting Invitational, an event where 13 carvers will compete in downtown Thomasville near the Spring Daze event. “I hope we compliment each other,” she said. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

Greensboro Police Hazardous Devices team members exit Continental Express flight 3006, following a search of the plane which was diverted to Piedmont Triad International Airport in Greensboro due to a bomb threat Wednesday. The plane was en route from Houston to Washington, D.C., when the threat was discovered. The plane was carrying 45 passengers and a crew of three.

Word ‘bomb’ on mirror prompts flight diversion WASHINGTON (AP) – A Continental Express flight from Houston to the Washington, D.C., area was diverted Wednesday morning when someone discovered the word “bomb� written on a bathroom mirror inside the plane, U.S. officials said. A search of the plane after it landed in Greensboro, N.C., turned up no explosives. The officials who described what was written on the mirror spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation was ongoing. Earlier the Transportation Security Administra-

tion had said only that a threatening message was written on a bathroom mirror, but gave no details of the message. FBI agents, Greensboro’s police bomb squad, and bombsniffing dogs owned by the Piedmont Triad International Airport Authority swept through the plane and its cargo and found no explosives, airport executive director Ted Johnson said. Every passenger was questioned by the FBI, Johnson said. “Somebody did it but we’ve got to draw the right clues to the right person,� Johnson

said. Amy Thoreson, an FBI spokeswoman in Charlotte, said agents continued their investigation and had no immediate plans to file criminal charges. Agents released the jet back to the airline. The flight took off again for Dulles International Airport in Virginia more than six hours after landing in North Carolina, Continental spokeswoman Christen David said in an e-mailed statement. Flight 3006, operated by regional carrier ExpressJet for Continental Airlines Inc., was

when it was directed to land at the airport near Greensboro “out of an abundance of caution,� the TSA said. The plane was met by law enforcement officers after taxiing to a remote area of the airfield. The Embraer 145 regional jet carried 45 passengers and three crew members, Continental and ExpressJet said. The plane landed without incident, the airlines and Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Arlene Salac said. “Continental and ExpressJet are cooperating with local authorities,� David said.

Dear Abby: Like many parents, my husband and I would like our three children to read more. And they, like many children, would prefer to watch more television. We arrived at a compromise, and I would like to share it with your readers. Many television shows are also available with closed captioning. For those who don’t know what closed captioning is – it is a service available on most TVs that shows what is being broadcast via audio. We mute the television and have the children read the words instead of listening. It works great! Their reading skills have soared, and I have noticed they are now reading more books than they used to. In addition, I really enjoy the quiet time while we’re watching the TV. Please pass this strategy on. Some of our friends are also doing it and feel it has helped their children, too. – Proud Parents

WAYNESVILLE – Following Sunday’s reopening of Interstate 40 through the Pigeon River Gorge, dozens of engineers, road workers and state and local officials gathered at the North Carolina Welcome Center Tuesday near the slide to dedicate the opening. A 20-mile stretch of I40 to the Tennessee state line has been closed since October when a massive rock slide blocked the roadway and required a months-long clean up and mountainside stabilization. The road was opened for traffic ahead of schedule Sunday evening after crews at the site of the rockslide had finished enough work to allow traffic to pass.

ear Abby: My brother is a lifelong drug addict who has spent the last two decades in and out of jail. He rarely works and has no permanent residence, finding shelter instead with various friends, girlfriends and sometimes sleeping in his brokendown vehicle. When he calls me, it’s always with some creative story and a request to send him money. The money I have sent over the years has gone to pay for his new drug fix, not to resolve whatever problem his sob story was about. Recently, our grandmother died and she left each of us some money. As her executor, I am responsible for making sure my brother gets his share. While I want him to benefit from this modest inheritance, I’m afraid he will use it to buy drugs – possibly enough drugs to harm himself, if unintentionally. Obviously, this is not what our grandmother would have wanted. How can I make sure this money goes to help, and not further enable, my drug-addicted sibling? – Conflicted Sis in Maryland

Instead of leaving her husband, Sally gave up her friendship with me. What did I do wrong? Should I be punished for listening to her?

The pros and cons of the PSA prostate cancer test

D

ear Dr. Donohue: I am 82. At this late stage, I am now being told that a PSA test (that I’ve always had and always passed well within limits) is no longer recommended. What is a guy to do? Early detection has always been encouraged, so how am I to know if I will need treatment? – F.O.

BLONDIE

The value of the PSA (prostate specific antigen) for the detection of prostate cancer has aroused a great deal of discussion and debate. Your premise about the early detection of cancer is true for most cancers. It isn’t always true for all the forms of prostate cancer. PSA isn’t a perfect test. It can yield normal results when a man has prostate cancer. It can yield abnormal results when a man’s cancer requires no treatment or when no cancer is present. A high proportion of older men – perhaps as many as 90 percent of men in their 80s – have areas of prostate cancer in their gland. Quite frequently, that cancer is the kind that grows slowly and doesn’t lead to death. However, a high PSA almost always is followed by a prostate biopsy and often a form of treatment – surgery or radiation. The complications of treatment can be worse than having a lowgrade prostate cancer. Loss of bladder control,

erectile dysfunction and radiation burns are some of those complications. HEALTH Your doctor has Dr. Paul advised Donohue against ■■■ continued testing for the above reasons. Screening benefits younger men and men at great risk of developing prostate cancer. Black men are more likely to have it than are white men. Some authorities feel that only men with a life expectancy of 10 or more years ought to have regular PSA tests. All medical professionals encourage men to discuss the pros and cons of PSA testing with their doctor. If you feel anxious about not having the test, you can request that one be done. Dear Dr. Donohue: Can a person get glasses if he has AIDS? How does it affect the eyes? – T.Y. People with AIDS can get glasses. In the days before effective AIDS treatment, a small number of patients experienced damage to the smallest blood vessels that feed the eye’s retina. In those days, eye infections from germs difficult to treat were common. These complications are sel-

dom seen these days. Dear Dr. Donohue: Will you please remind everyone of the importance of covering one’s mouth and nose during a sneeze and a cough? Most people do not bother to do so, and they spread their germs. An uncovered sneeze or cough disseminates droplets containing germs in the air. I remind co-workers to cover their coughs and sneezes. Most of them roll their eyes or have a smart comeback. Hand-washing is also important after blowing the nose, coughing or sneezing. We all would be much healthier if everyone practiced good hygiene. – P.H. I’m with you, P.H. If people don’t have a tissue or handkerchief to cover their sneezes and coughs, they should cough or sneeze into their elbows. Better the germs stay on their clothes than in the air. President Barack Obama gave a great demonstration of this during the past flu season. Frequent hand-washing is important for coughers, sneezers and those who aren’t doing either. DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible.

Year-round premieres demand lots and lots of TV pilots BY FRAZIER MOORE AP TELEVISION WRITER

NEWTON, Mass. – Turreted and stately, the house on a quiet street in Newton had been vacant for a while. But for a few days last month, its “For Sale” signs went away. Trucks, trailers, crews and actors converged along Lake Avenue after fliers in every neighbor’s mailbox gave fair warning: This picture-perfect homestead would temporarily be occupied as one of several shooting sites around the Boston area for a CBS pilot called “QuinnTuplets.” This wannabe series features Amber Tamblyn, Kenneth Mitchell, Sam Witwer, David Giuntoli and Anna Chlumsky as all-grown-up quintuplets named Quinn. But further details weren’t available, or worth a viewer getting too excited about, yet. “Quinn-Tuplets” may never make it to the air. “Quinn-Tuplets” is just one of 80-plus scripted pilots in production and due to be evaluated soon by the five broadcast networks. Each is bucking for a berth on a fall prime-time schedule. But only a handful will make the cut. That means if “Quinn-Tuplets” doesn’t pass muster with CBS execs, it will be tossed, forever unseen by the public, on the lofty scrapheap of busted TV pilots. Such is the game of win or lose played out each pilot season in a high-stakes, time-crunched scramble. Lately, a year-round program rollout has found favor in the industry. Even so, the May “upfront” presentations – heralding a new crop of fall TV to advertisers and the world – remain. This half-century-old rite perpetuates the need for pilots to sustain it. Lots of pilots. Pronto. Shawn Ryan, with series to his credit including “The Unit” and “The Shield,” has a pilot in the works for Fox called “RideAlong.” “When you’re producing an ongoing show,” he said one hectic day last week, “it feels like you’re in an out-of-control car hurtling 100 miles per hour and you never know whether you’ll get someplace, or crash. With a pilot, you start at a standstill, and you’re told you’ve got to be at 100 miles per hour – tomorrow!” Almost in lockstep, the process goes like this: Come January, scripts for dramas and comedies are picked by the studios from hundreds in development. Production begins. By the end of April, each finished pilot is delivered to the network that ordered it. Then, in mid-May, the networks unveil their fall lineups, with a lucky few new shows part

That makes it difficult.” Stapf has a dozen pilots under way for the sister CBS network (besides “Quinn-Tuplets,” they

Besides a slate of guest stars, she signed Becki Newton (“Ugly Betty”) and Jordana Spiro (“My Boys”) as the series’ regular cast members. “We’re going from words on paper that only a few executives saw and decided not to make before, to now,” said Chupack in a recent interview from Los

These came from scores of scripts and series pitches he’d been shepherding since last summer. But for Cindy Chupack, the script development phase of her NBC project, “Love Bites,” took place two years ago. Then NBC opted not to go the next step to a pilot. Much to her surprise early this year, Chupack learned “Love Bites” had sprung back to life: The network’s current bosses wanted a pilot. Under the aegis of NBC’s Universal Media Studios, she started hiring a crew and casting roles. Chupack (whose credits as a writer-producer include “Sex

Angeles, sounding jazzed as she faced the 14th and final shooting day. “It’s really nice to employ a lot of people and have them making this thing that’s been on paper for a long time.” On the other hand, “Love Bites” will be fighting for a place at the table against established series NBC may stick with, plus a dozen-and-a-half other pilots. These include the high-profile “Rockford Files” remake and a legal drama starring Jimmy Smits, whose executive producer is NBC’s excommunicated talkshow host, Conan O’Brien. The multilevel strategies that shape a network schedule make an episode of “Lost” seem onedimensional. Audience flow, counter-programming and weak

spots in the lineup that need fixing all enter into the calculus. No wonder locking the schedule goes down to the wire. “I’m kind of Zen about it,” said Chupack when asked about her nail-biting plans when she is waiting for the verdict. “There are so many factors I have no control over.” She expects to hear the news – good or bad – as late as Sunday, May 16. If her show’s among the chosen few, she’ll jump on a plane to be in New York at NBC’s presentation for ad-buyers Monday morning. Shawn Ryan isn’t counting on a phone call any earlier from Fox about the fate of “Ride-Along.” Fox will unveil its lineup that Monday afternoon. “Ride-Along” is a Chicagobased police drama starring Jennifer Beals (“The L Word”) and Jason Clarke (“Brotherhood”). “But I wanted to investigate a city more than just tell another cop story,” Ryan said. As he spoke, he was halfway through a 14-day location shoot that wasn’t set to wrap until last Sunday. The first edit of the pilot was due for delivery to Fox a week later, with fine-tuning to follow. “There’s absolutely no rest until the May upfronts,” Ryan said. “And then the reward, should you succeed, is to be told, ‘OK, you’re going to be filming the series in two months. Go to it!’ ” Then, a few months after that, comes the biggest hurdle yet for the new shows that have made it to the air: Will anybody watch?

LAST “SHREK”

----

One thing hasn’t changed with “Shrek”: Puss in Boots still steals the show. The fourth and supposedly final “Shrek” film, “Shrek Forever After,” premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival last week at New York’s Ziegfeld Theatre. It was a glitzy affair for the film, the first in the franchise to be released in 3-D. Given the box-office boost 3-D films have seen – particularly since “Avatar” – the film’s studio, Dreamworks, expects a 3-D “Shrek” to be a hit, capping a franchise that has already earned more than $1 billion at the domestic box office. “Shrek Forever After,” which will be released May 21, returns the voice cast of Mike Myers (Shrek), Cameron Diaz (Fiona), Eddie Murphy (Donkey) and Antonio Banderas as Puss in Boots, the Zorro-like feline. The film takes the shape of “It’s a Wonderful Life.” A mid-life crisis comes to Shrek, now a father of three, who laments the loss of his younger, wilder days as a fearsome ogre. The evil magician Rumpelstilskin (Walt Dohrn) makes a dubious deal with Shrek, the result being that Shrek was never born and never married Fiona. The bizarro world Shrek encounters – something like the sideways shifts of ABC’s “Lost” – is a mishmash of mostly the familiar fairy tale characters, but with different twists of fate. The Gingerbread Man, so meek in previous “Shrek” movies, is now a kickboxing warrior. Puss in Boots, too, has been inverted. In this “Shrek,” the debonair swashbuckler has turned out an obese house cat, too lazy to shoo a mouse drinking from his bowl. He doesn’t even have his namesake’s footwear. The character, something of a sensation after his debut in “Shrek 2,” won many of the laughs at the premiere of “Shrek Forever After.”

Thursday, April 29, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Andre Agassi, 40; Uma Thurman, 40; Michelle Pfeiffer, 52; Jerry Seinfeld, 56 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Work on partnerships and business prospects. Being upfront and honest about where you are and where you see yourself heading will eliminate uncertainties that you and the people you are dealing with might be harboring. This is the year to ask questions and to be vocal in order to finalize deals and get on with your life. Your numbers are 9, 14, 20, 26, 35, 39, 48 ARIES (March 21-April 19): You can negotiate, close a deal, make changes to your home or even make a move. As long as you do everything according to the rules, you will not face any setbacks. Use your energy wisely. ★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Do your own thinking – as soon as you rely on someone else, you will be disappointed. A partnership will undergo some important changes and the outcome should put you in a good position. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): A proposal offered can be good for you even if you feel it lacks excitement and substance. Right now, it’s more important to make extra cash and clear any debts you’ve incurred. Take care of your responsibilities without being asked. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Control your own personal and professional situation. If you call the shots, speak up and do a great job, you will play an instrumental role in your future. Your influence will parlay into a chain reaction of support and new friendships. ★★★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Disagreements with the people you must deal with will cause you to rethink your plan of attack. Don’t let your emotions lead you down a vulnerable path. You need a change of scenery and associating with new friends will ease your stress. ★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Keep things in perspective, especially with love and romance. Changes that take place may come as a surprise at first but will help you financially and emotionally. An opportunity is available if you initiate it. ★★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don’t be afraid to try something new or to do things a little differently. Your diversity and creative input will grab attention and hold interest. The more flexible you are, the better you will do. ★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): It’s in your best interest to try new things and incorporate your knowledge and experience into what you are trying to create. The potential to get ahead is present as long as you don’t overspend foolishly. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If you send mixed signals, you are likely to get the same in return. Offer only what’s yours to give, not an exaggerated version. Present truthfully who you are, what you have and what you are looking for. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): As long as you collect information and evaluate your position, you will not be disappointed in what you can achieve. Don’t get involved in someone else’s problems or pick up the tab for someone else’s mistake. Protect your money, your assets and your heart. ★★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You may want to make some adjustments to relationships that will cost you a friendship. A love interest is likely to become your stability by helping you come to terms with what you need to change in order to move onward and upward. ★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Put your money in a safe place or invest in a long-term investment. You can make money if you are smart and don’t share how much you are worth with others. A love relationship will get better or worse, based on a financial choice. ★★★★★

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

West must have been tempted to double four spades; he had the makings of five defensive tricks. Moreover, South wasn’t known for accurate dummy play. South took the ace of hearts, led a trump and sighed when East discarded. South put up his ace, led a diamond to dummy and let the ten of clubs ride. West took two clubs and then two high trumps. Down one. “If I’d known South had the king of clubs, I’d have doubled,” West remarked. Should he have doubled for an extra 100 points?

CAPABLE Bridge has as much a psychological element as poker. It’s fine to double an opponent who will probably drop a trick, but West shouldn’t double a capable declarer. South justified his reputation. He could ruff a heart at Trick Two, lead a diamond to dummy, ruff a heart and take the K-A of diamonds. South then leads a trump to his ten. When West wins, he can’t afford to return a trump. He must lead a diamond, conceding a ruff-sluff, or lead a club, and South has only three losers.

Jennifer Lopez movie views like sitcom C

apsule reviews of films now playing in theaters:

“The Back-up Plan” – This gets sitcommy early and often, and just for good measure, throws in old TV favorites Tom Bosley and Linda Lavin in brief, one-note roles. But regardless of their presence, or that of the appealing (and frequently shirtless) Alex O’Loughlin in his first leading-man role, this is a vehicle for Jennifer Lopez, who is front and center and looking flawless at all times. The first time we see her character, Zoe, she’s at the doctor’s office with her feet in the stirrups being artificially inseminated, wearing false eyelashes and perfect lip gloss. In case we couldn’t possibly imagine what she’s thinking, the script from Kate Angelo (a former sitcom writer) offers this helpful voiceover: “Oh, God, I hope this works. I’ve wanted this for so long.” Yeah, it’s like that. Director Alan

Poul (who also has a TV background) hits every obvious note, complete with pratfalls, pregnancy cliches and cheesy popmusic cues that signal the characters’ emotions in painfully literal fashion. He also cuts away to Zoe’s adorable Boston terrier for cheap reaction shots so frequently, it could be a drinking game. All these devices are in service of a plot that’s pretty thin. Zoe is prepared to have a baby on her own, only to meet and fall for the hunky Stan (O’Loughlin). Since they get together pretty early, the rest of the movie consists of contrived flareups that threaten to keep them apart. PG-13 for sexual content including references, some crude material and language. 104 min. One and a half stars out of four. – Christy Lemire, AP Movie Critic

but fish – are among the fascinating underwater creatures that inhabit “Oceans.” This stunningly beautiful documentary is the second in a series from the new Disneynature label, which gave us “Earth” exactly one year ago on Earth Day. Whereas that film followed wildlife across the globe, “Oceans” takes a plunge deep into its waters, with jaw-dropping results. Directors Jacques Perrin and Jacques Cluzaud provide a truly immersive experience, without the three-dimensional IMAX effects of the similar – and similarly awe-inspiring – “Under the Sea 3D” from 2009. Having spent seven years working on “Oceans,” including four years gathering footage, they’ve created countless how’d-they-get-that? shots. The narration from Pierce Brosnan can get a bit cutesy at times, but that’s probably to make “Oceans” as palatable as possible for the young viewers to whom much of the film is intended. Like

its recent predecessors, “Oceans” also contains a message about the importance of protecting our underwater expanses and the beings that call them home from pollution and climate change: familiar but, unfortunately, still necessary words to hear. G. 84 min. Three and a half stars out of four. – Christy Lemire, AP Movie Critic

“The Secret in Their Eyes” – Murder and love, melodrama and laughter intertwine in this long and winding Argentine film, the surprise winner of the foreign-language Oscar this year. To say that writer-director Juan Jose Campanella’s movie is all over the place would be unfair, and inaccurate – he shows a sure hand technically, especially in a lengthy, single-take shot that will make you hold your breath. But even that scene, accomplished as it is, seems to “Oceans” – Fish come out of nowhere. The that look like rocks performances are what – or scarves, or a jewfrequently hold the film eled brooch, or anything together when it seems at loose ends, namely from stars Ricardo Darin, Soledad Villamil and Guillermo Francella. “The Secret in Their Eyes” skips back and forth in time between an unresolved 1974 rape and murder and 1999, when a retired criminal court investigator still finds himself haunted by the crime. Darin’s Benjamin Esposito is writing a novel about the case, which inspires him to visit Irene (Villamil), who’s now a judge but was then a young, brilliant colleague for whom he felt a love that DISNEY | AP also went unresolved.

SONY PICTURES CLASSICS | AP

Soledad Villamil and Ricardo Darin in a scene from “The Secret in Their Eyes.” – and since Campanella has directed episodes of “Law & Order SVU,” he handles that aspect of the story efficiently but it’s also a romance, one that gets downright cringe-inducing at times. Still, the commanding Darin has an easy rapport with Villamil, but his interaction with Francella is even more intriguing. A longtime comic actor, Francella plays Benjamin’s long-ago partner, a quickwitted drunk who looks nerdy and buttoneddown but is actually a total mess. R for a rape scene, violent images, some graphic nudity and language. 129 min. Three stars out of four. – Christy Lemire, AP Movie Critic

That “The Losers” and its ragtag band of Special Forces operatives fail to achieve even that modest goal speaks to the filmmakers’ utter lack of imagination as well as the busy smugness with which they offer their smorgasbord of nothingness. The comic-book source material originated as a “man-crush love letter” to “Lethal Weapon” screenwriter Shane Black. But instead of producing a heady homage to slick, ’80s action movies or a winking salute to Sam Peckinpah and his wild bunch of losers or even a faithful adaptation of a serviceable comic, the filmmakers have watered down the material to the point of irrelevance. PG-13 “The Losers” – Deadly for scenes of intense action and violence, a only in its dullness, this scene of sensuality, and coma-inducing, comicbook-adapted action flick language. 98 minutes. One and a half stars out aims to serve as a placeof four. holder until “Iron Man 2” arrives with the sum– Glenn Whipp, for The mer’s heavy artillery. Associated Press.

Brewer filming ‘Footloose’ remake in Georgia M EMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) – Director Craig Brewer says his remake of “Footloose” will be filmed in Georgia because Tennessee couldn’t match the incentives package.

The Memphis-based director told The Commercial Appeal on Friday that he was frustrated because he knew there was a lot of people working to bring the movie to the Memphis area.

The remake of the hit 1984 release about a Chicago teen who uses music and dancing to liberate a small-town high school from the influence of a strict preacher. Brewer’s rewrite sets

the story in fictional “Beaumont, Tennessee,” with some scenes in Nashville. The newspaper reported that Tennessee’s incentive package was about $1.6 million short of what Georgia offered.

NUMBERS ABOUND: Several companies report earnings. 5D

Bowyer, RCR ‘All Shook Up’ by strong start C lint Bowyer is an unabashed fan of The King. Not Richard Petty. Elvis. Well, except for that song titled “Spinout.” Or any tune that has anything to do with losing, since it SPORTS has been two years since Greer he crossed Smith underneath a ■■■ checkered flag before everyone else. It is not to the point that it is “Now or Never” that he wins a race for Richard Childress Racing. But, with Kevin Harvick breaking his three-year losing streak on Sunday at Talladega, Bowyer is now on the clock as having the longest Cup drought at RCR. “We watched them win,” Bowyer said of Harvick. “We know our cars are capable of winning. That lights a fire under our team just as much as it does anybody else. That confidence, that momentum, everything that a win brings to an organization and race team is everything. We need to build from that and feed off of it and keep going.” The “Edge of Reality” is that Bowyer has to be a little more optimistic this weekend because he goes to a track where he has won before. The bad news is that his victory at Richmond International Raceway in the spring of 2008 was the last time he reached Victory Lane. All he needs is a “Good Luck Charm.” “It’s time that we need to win a race and prove that we can still do this,” Bowyer said. “Me as a driver, I’ve got to do that.” He’s encouraged that RCR is on the comeback trail this season after Harvick, Bowyer and teammate Jeff Burton all missed the Chase for the Championship last season. Harvick could have won the Daytona 500 and at California. Burton was also a contender at Auto Club Speedway and was a force two weeks ago at Texas and last week at Talladega. “I think the biggest changes, there’s actually a lot, but just hard work and working together,” Bowyer said. “You know, I think that’s the biggest thing, is teamwork in any organization. I feel like moving down to three teams at RCR really forced us to work together as a group. I feel like we’re as strong as we’ve ever been. “The engineering department stepped up in a big way. The engine department has stepped up. Just everybody at RCR across the board has really stepped up. We purchased a (racing) simulation

program over the offseason and really enhanced that side of things as well.” All three drivBowyer ers are in the coveted top 12 with 17 races left to determine the dozen who will compete for the championship over the final 10 races. Harvick is second, just 26 points behind leader Jimmie Johnson. Bowyer jumped three spots into 11th thanks to finishing an unspectacular seventh at Talladega, Wrecked by Mike Bliss, Burton finished 32nd and dropped to 12th. “You know, we’re really proud to be sitting where we’re sitting,” Bowyer said. “All three cars are in the Chase so far. We’ve got a long ways to go. We’re getting into the summer grind here. We’ve just got to make sure we take care of business” Hurt by an engine failure at Bristol and a wreck at Texas, Bowyer is 237 out of first and just 19 ahead of 13th-place Carl Edwards and 25 ahead of 14th-ranking Tony Stewart. “Those two finishes set us back a lot farther than we needed to be in the points,” Bowyer said. “We’ve been kind off tiptoeing a little bit, making sure we take care of business.” The tiptoeing included running conservatively at Talladega, going into “Don’t be Cruel” mode by sometimes dropping into a pack slightly behind the lead draft to decrease the likelihood of being caught in a wreck. “There wasn’t much fun in doing that,” Bowyer said. “You want to be up leading every lap, contending every lap. Riding in the back, it’s not so much fun, but it seems like what you’ve got to do anymore to get yourself a good finish.” Being back in the top 12 provides a source of pride and increases confidence. The lift is very tenuous considering that he is separated from 18th-place Ryan Newman by just 91 points. “You know, we need to be a lot more solid in the Chase than just 11th,” Bowyer said. “I’m not comfortable at all where we’re at right now. I feel the way our cars are running, the direction I feel like we’re headed with RCR, I think all three of our teams are going to be in the Chase. It’s up to us to make that happen. I think only we can knock ourselves out of doing that.” If they do, “I Feel So Bad” and “One Broken Heart For Sale” might be the right song titles to describe Bowyer’s mood when the Chase begins. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

iger Woods and Phil Mickelson headline a field worthy of a major championship when the Quail Hollow Championship tees off today in Charlotte. This event sold out nearly two weeks ago as fans eagerly anticipated the chance to see Tiger, Lefty and company swing into action.

Tiger feels less caged at Quail Hollow Elsewhere...

Mickelson withdraws from pro-am because of illness. 4D CHARLOTTE (AP) — Tiger Woods entered the room with little fanfare, and without the constant clicking of camera shutters. His press conference lasted only 16 minutes. The PGA Tour required an admission ticket for the media, although that wasn’t necessary. There were 76 seats in the interview room, and 24 of them were empty. On the golf course, Woods received warm applause when he was introduced on the first tee. The loudest cheer came at the end of his pro-am round Wednesday at Quail Hollow when he knocked in a 25-foot birdie putt before thousands of fans soaking up warm sunshine. “I have to say, this feels a heck of a lot more normal than the Masters did,” Woods said. The Quail Hollow Championship is another step toward Woods trying to get back to normal, at least with his golf. Everything about this tournament was going to be different from Augusta National, where the world’s No. 1 player made his celebrated return to competition after five months of fallout from his extramarital affairs. Quail Hollow doesn’t have the magnitude of the stage, the size of the gallery or the level of media interest. Even so, this is the first PGA Tour event Woods is playing where tickets were sold to the general public. The behavior was not much differ-

Tiger Woods blasts from a sand trap during the Quail Hollow pro-am on Wednesday. ent from three weeks ago at the Masters, and Woods wasn’t surprised. “I’ll tell you what, the people here have always been very gracious, very excited about this event,” Woods said. “These fans here really get into the event, and again, with a great field like this, I think it’ll be another great week.” He caught a couple of jeers upon leaving the 18th green when he walked past fans wanting his autograph, but it was a claustrophobic walkway toward the clubhouse, and Woods stopped about 30 yards away and signed for 20 minutes. He went out of his way to make eye contact with the fans, as he did at the Masters. Woods even posed for a picture with a kindergarten student on his way to the second tee. Perhaps that will change when the tournament begins on a worldclass course with another strong field that includes four of the top five players in the world ranking.

BASEBALL PITTSBURGH MILWAUKEE

I guarantee you tournament organizers, sponsors and the TV networks showing this event would love to see a Sunday showdown between Woods and Mickelson. So would I. But when you think about it, these two have rarely teamed for Sunday magic on the PGA Tour. Don’t get me wrong. Tiger and

Lefty are the two most compelling figures currently on Tour and they’ve combined for more than 100 PGA titles. And there have been some memorable final-round pairings featuring the two. Doral in 2006 and the 2009 Masters immediately come to mind. But considering how long

Amanda Campusano, a guard for Guilford Technical Community College who hails from Bronx, N.Y., has been named to the All-America third team for Division I of the National Junior College Athletic Association. She earlier was named player of the year for Region X of the NJCAA, and was named to the AllRegion X team along with teammate Rhonda Young. GTCC coach Bobby Allison was named coach of the year for Region X, leading his team to a 29-3 record, regularseason and tournament championship in only the second year of the program. Campusano and Young played for Allison the previous season at Mowhawk Valley Community College in Utica, N.Y. Allison said Campusano improved more from one season to the next of any girl he has coached. He has a record of 244-22 as a head coach.

SOCCER TRINITY 5, WHEATMORE 1 TRINITY – The host Bulldogs celebrated Senior Night on Wednesday with a 5-1 victory over rival Wheatmore. Best of all, the win also clinched the PAC-6 2A championship as Trinity improved to 14-4-1 and 7-0 in the league. Tyler Cottle scored two goals to spark the victory, while Logan Terry, Allison Lewis and Taylor Hembree each found the back of the net once. Lewis and Hembree had assists, and Morgan Loeffler got the win in goal. The careers of Terry, Loeffler, Jillian Somero and Emily Rogers were celebrated on Senior Night. Trinity’s next game comes Monday at Atkins. Wheatmore’s goal was scored by Maddy Myers. Keeper Hannah Ryan played well in the face of a stout Trinity attack. The Warriors fell to 13-2-1 overall and 4-2 in the league entering today’s home game with Lexington.

E. DAVIDSON 1, C. DAVIDSON 0 LEXINGTON – Ashley Swaim scored off a pass from Haley Grimsley with 29:36 left and East Davidson held on to edge Central Davidson 1-0 in a Central Carolina 2A Conference match on Wednesday. Addie Grubb made seven saves in goal for the Golden Eagles, who improve to 7-7-2, 6-2 in the CCC, and host West Davidson for their Senior Night on Monday.

TENNIS PAC-6 CHAMPIONSHIP HIGH POINT – Wheatmore’s Eric Lagueruela won the singles championship and Trinity’s Kenny Collishaw and Austin Hancock were No. 1 in doubles after Wednesday’s PAC-6 2A Tournament at T. Wingate Andrews. The top three finishers in singles and doubles advanced to next Friday’s regional at Roanoke Rapids. The PAC-6 was not awarded four spots in the regional because Carver and Atkins don’t have tennis teams. Lagueruela defeated Trinity’s Brennan Austin by a 10-6 score in the singles finale. The last qualifier was Wheatmore’s Avery Musgrave, who knocked off Trinity’s Chase Pruitt in an 11-9 slugfest for third place. Collishaw and Hancock defeated the Wheatmore team of Aaron Stafford and Jordan McClure. A second Trinity team – David Clausel and Will Mabe – defeated a Randleman team to take third place and also reach the regional. Andrews got an opening singles win from Kevin Beugger before he fell to Pruitt in the second round. The Red Raiders’ doubles teams of Carson Wof-

Clayton Brewer, Chris Staton, Harry Keefe, Chris Lewis and Brian Ball prevailed in singles play for the Wildcats (6-8). Ball and Luke Vandeplancke won in doubles. Westchester hosts Concord First Assembly on Monday.

TRACK AND FIELD AT HP ATHLETIC COMPLEX HIGH POINT – Ragsdale’s boys and High Point Central’s girls took first place in Wednesday’s dual meet between Piedmont Triad 4A Conference teams. The Bison girls scored 80 points to beat the Tigers by 23. Caprisha Pegram sparked the effort with three first-place efforts: the 100 and 300 hurdles, plus the 100-meter dash. Alexis Williamson added a pair of firsts in the 400 and the high jump. Tevyn Jones took the triple jump and Alyssa Daniels the long jump for Central, while Rebekah Stanton won the 800 and also teamed with Carly Griffin, Sarah King and Lisa Appadu for first in the 4x800 relay. Ragsdale’s boys beat Central 79-52. The Bison also had a triple winner in that meet, with Tyreek Sparks claiming the long jump, triple jump and high jump. Martize Smith won the shot put and Jeremy Williams was first in the 400. Central also took two relays. The 4x8 team was made up of Williams, Richard Segal, Eugene Hopson and Mark Smith, and the winning 4x2 unit had William McCauley, Aaron Leach, Derek Grant and Kevin Permenter. Both teams run again next week back at the High Point Athletic Complex for the PTC Championships. The trials will be Wednesday and the finals Thursday.

AT HP ATHLETIC COMPLEX HIGH POINT – Wesleyan’s girls edged Westchester and High Point Christian in a three-team meet that ended late Tuesday. Wesleyan finished with 57 points, one ahead of Westchester and six ahead of High Point Christian. Winners for Wesleyan included Kacie Sledge in the shot put and the discus and a tie between Sledge and Katie Nickalow in the high jump. High Point Christian took the boys portion with 67.5 points, two ahead of Wesleyan. Westchester was third with 37.

ly before Cottle scored a goal in the Bulldogs’ 5-1 victory on Wednesday. David Leonard of Wesleyan swept the shot put, discus and high jump. Other winners for the Trojans: Drew Crenshaw (long jump and 100-meter dash), Drew Thompson in the 400 and Zack Hostetler in the 800.

GOLF AT ASHEBORO MUNICIPAL ASHEBORO – Asheboro prevailed in the Randolph County tournament on Wednesday at the Asheboro Municipal course. The Blue Comets finished at 311, five strokes better than runner-up Trinity. Southwestern Randolph was third at 335, followed by Randleman (338), Providence Grove (380), Eastern Randolph (380), Eastern Randolph (384) and Wheatmore (411). Daniel Brantley of Asheboro took medalist honors with a 1under-par 69. Counting scorers for Trinity included Dillon Shoe (75), Greg Mauldin (79), Christian Steffen (81) and Andrew Kersey (81). Collin Miller led Wheatmore with an 81. Trinity next sees action in the 2A Mideast regional at Fairmont Country Club in Fairmont.

WINSTON-SALEM – Victor Zecca hit a solo home run in the top of the eighth inning to give Ledford a 4-3 win over North Forsyth in a game that ended late Tuesday night. North jumped to a 3-0 lead in the first inning off Panthers ace Brian Connolly, but was silenced after that. Connolly left after six innings, having allowed six hits and a walk – and just one earned run – while striking out nine. Pete Guy brought the Panthers back from their early hole with a three-run homer in the sixth. Josh Phillips also was 2-for-4 for Ledford, now 9-9 overall and 5-4 in the Mid-Piedmont 3A entering Friday’s Senior Night game against Asheboro for second place in the league.

There would have been a DH anyway for this year’s game.

Michael Jordan makes his way through autograph seekers on the way to the 10th tee during Wednesday’s pro-am of the Quail Hollow Championship in Charlotte.

Lefty caught cheating – on diet QUAIL HOLLOW NOTES: CHARLOTTE (AP) – One picture getting plenty of attention the day after the Masters was Phil Mickelson in a green jacket. There was nothing unusual about that except for where the photo was taken. Mickelson was in his car at the window of a Krispy Kreme doughnut shop in Augusta, Ga. The three-time Masters champion says he doesn’t eat a lot of carbohydrates or sugars during the tournament, which was only a problem because his kids wanted doughnuts. So he made a deal that he would take them to Krispy Kreme on Monday after the Masters. As for the green jacket? “It was a little chilly, so I threw on a jacket,” he said Wednesday. The surprise was when he returned home to San Diego. His family left Augusta a few hours after going to Krispy Kreme, and when the plane landed, Mickelson noticed he had received texts and e-mails about the photo, which was taken by an employee. “It’s fascinating be-

cause it just shows how things have changed over the last 15, 20 years since I was out on tour,” Mickelson said. “When I went to college we didn’t have cell phones, and since I’m out of college and out on tour, everybody is media now. The lady behind the counter at Krispy Kreme is media, and it’s an interesting thing to get used to.”

PRIVATE LIFE GREEN WITH ILLNESS Mickelson withdrew from his pro-am group at the Quail Hollow Championship on Wednesday, complaining of illness. Mickelson was sick at his hotel Tuesday night and called for assistance after the fifth hole at Quail Hollow. He was treated for dehydration at the oncourse medical center. Mickelson still expects to make his first-round, 12:50 p.m. tee time today.

ACC title game stays in prime-time slot ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

GREENSBORO – The ACC football championship game will once again be in prime time on ESPN this year, commissioner John Swofford announced Wednesday. Kickoff for the Dec. 4 game is slated for 7:45 p.m. It will be played for the first time in Charlotte’s Bank of America Stadium after spending its first

three years in Jacksonville, Fla., and the past two in Tampa’s Raymond James Stadium. “Prime-time exposure is always a plus, and this will be an excellent showcase for our divisional champions to compete for an ACC title and a berth in either the FedEx Orange Bowl or the BCS National Championship Game,” Swofford said in a statement.

Miami GM apologizes for prostitute question DAVIE, Fla. (AP) – Miami Dolphins general manager Jeff Ireland has apologized to former Oklahoma State receiver Dez Bryant for asking whether his mother was ever a prostitute. The apology Wednesday came after Yahoo! Sports reported that Ireland posed the question during a pre-draft interview with Bryant. “My job is to find out as much information as possible about a player that I’m considering drafting,” Ireland said in a statement. “Sometimes that leads to

asking in-depth questions. Having said that, I talked to Dez Bryant and told him I used poor judgment in one of the questions I asked him. I certainly meant no disrespect and apologized to him.” Bryant’s background received extensive scrutiny from NFL teams before the draft. He was taken by Dallas with the 24th pick in the first round last Thursday. “My mom is not a prostitute,” Bryant told Yahoo! Sports. “I got mad – really mad – but I didn’t show it.”

Bulls: No word on Del Negro DEERFIELD, Ill. (AP) – At some point in the next few days, the Chicago Bulls figure to reveal coach Vinny Del Negro’s job status. They just weren’t making any announcements Wednesday. After back-to-back 41win seasons and firstround playoff exits, Del

in the pro-am. Just as Woods talked to reporters ahead of his second tournament since his sex scandal, Jordan teed off with Fred Couples and Quail Hollow Club president Johnny Harris. Jordan was up-and-down playing with Couples, who revealed he’s bought Bobcats season tickets.

Negro at least got some public support from his players after the Bulls were eliminated by Cleveland. Joakim Noah, who enjoyed a breakout season, says Del Negro “did a lot for me as a player.” Kirk Hinrich says Del Negro “fit the bill for us. He let you be who you are.”

Nothing about Woods’ private life is all that private any longer. If he didn’t realize that already, there were photos and comments about Woods going to a Nickelback concert in Orlando, Fla., after the Masters. “A couple of band members are friends of mine, and that’s why I went,” Woods said. “I just had a great time. And unfortunately, I got criticized for seeing my friends.” Woods was asked if he felt as though he could start leading a relatively normal life away from golf. “No, there’s paparazzi everywhere – helicopters here and there, people driving by, paparazzi camping out in front of the gates. That hasn’t changed,” he said.

The format for the annual Cup pit crew contest will remain the same this year. The top eight teams in car points as of May 17 will be given byes into the second round of the event scheduled May 20 at Time Warner Cable Arena in Charlotte as part of the buildup to the All-Star race two nights later at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Teams ranked 9-24 in owners points will participate in the opening round, with eight winning teams facing the top eight teams in the second round. The best-seeded team advancing from round two gets to pick its opponent, with the selections continuing by seed until pairings are set. Head-to-head elimination competition continues until the winner is determined. The order of finish will be the order in which teams select pits for the AllStar race.

VOTING CONTINUES The top-10 remains unchanged in voting that will determine a “wild-card” entrant in the All-Star race. The 10 in alphabetical order are A.J. Allmendinger, Marcos Ambrose, Greg Biffle, Clint Bowyer, Jeff Burton, Carl Edwards, Juan Pablo Montoya, Elliott Sadler, Martin Truex Jr. and Michael Waltrip. The driver getting the most votes who finishes the Shootout qualifying race will advance to the main event. Voting continues until one hour before the start of the All-Star race on

Saturday, May 22. Fans can cast votes for their favorite eligible drivers using the NASCAR Sprint Cup Mobile application, by visiting NASCAR.com, or at the Sprint Experience, located in the midway at every NASCAR Sprint Cup Series event.

DRIVER CHANGE Casey Mears is the new driver of Tommy Baldwin’s No. 36 Toyotas beginning this week at Richmond. Mears began the season with a deal for the first six races with startup team KeyedUp Motorsports. Keyed-Up dropped off the circuit a race later and said it will return for the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte with driver Scott Riggs. Mears served as a possible relief driver for Denny Hamlin at the past three races. Mike Bliss was Baldwin’s driver for the first seven races before they parted ways. Johnny Sauter completed a two-race deal with Baldwin at Talladega.

WINNER PENALIZED Brad Keselowski’s victory in the Nationwide race Sunday at Talladega became tainted Wednesday. NASCAR announced Keselowski’s crew chief was fined $10,000 for use of an unapproved left-front spring and $1,000 for an unapproved right-front shock absorber. The violations were found in post-race inspection. Keselowski and car owner of record Jodi Geschickter were docked 50 points. The deduction cut Keselowski’s lead in the standings to 10 points over Harvick. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Derby favorite: Lookin at Lucky LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) – Lookin At Lucky was made the early 3-1 favorite for the Kentucky Derby and Sidney’s Candy was the second choice Wednesday in a full field of 20 horses. Neither, however, drew the most favorable post position for Saturday’s race. Trained by three-time Derby winner Bob Baf-

fert and ridden by Garrett Gomez, Lookin At Lucky drew the No. 1 post – generally considered a disadvantage because horses charging into the first turn of the 11⁄4 mile track tend to jam the inside. Sidney’s Candy, 5-1, didn’t fare much better, drawing the outside No. 20 post – making for the widest of all trips around

Churchill Downs. Twelve horses have won from the No. 1 post; the last was Ferdinand in 1986. Only two winners have come from No. 20, with Big Brown doing so two years ago. Mike Pegram, co-owner of Lookin At Lucky, still feels, well, pretty lucky. “If there’s a horse that can overcome that spot, it’s Lucky,” he said

Fed maintains record-low rates WASHINGTON (AP) — The Federal Reserve sounded a more confident note Wednesday that the economy is strengthening but pledged to hold rates at record lows to make sure it gains traction. Wrapping up a twoday meeting, the Fed in a 9-1 decision retained its pledge to hold rates at historic lows for an “extended period.” Doing so will help energize the recovery. The Fed offered a more upbeat view of the economy even as it noted that risks remain. It said the job market is “beginning to improve,” an upgrade from its last meeting in mid-March. It observed

Shell PLC reports $5.48 billion profit AMSTERDAM (AP) — Europe’s largest oil company Royal Dutch Shell PLC reported a 57 percent increase in net profit for the first quarter on Wednesday due to higher oil prices and its first substantial production increase in years. Net profit was $5.48 billion, up from $3.49 billion in the same period a year ago. Revenues were $86.0 billion from $52.2 billion.

Demand rebound boosts Dow Chemical MIDLAND, Mich. (AP) — Dow Chemical Co. on Wednesday reported strong quarterly results as it benefited from growing demand and price increases. Net income rose to $466 million from just $24 million a year ago. The nation’s largest chemical maker said the results show that demand is growing in developed markets, which were hit hardest by the recession. Strong growth in emerging markets continues to boost the manufacturing sector, Dow said.

Corning earns soar on TV glass sales ROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP) — Corning Inc. said Wednesday its profit soared to $816 million in the first quarter on surging sales of LCD glass for flat-panel televisions and computers and highly durable cover glass for cell phones and handheld video devices. The world’s largest maker of liquid-crystal-display glass said it expects robust demand for LCD-TVs, laptops and desktop computers will bump up LCD glass industry volume in 2010.

then that the unemployment situation was merely “stabilizing.” The Fed also noted that consumer spending has “picked up,” an improvement from its last observation that spending was expanding at a “moderate pace.” Even with the economic gains, the Fed noted reasons to be cautious. High unemployment, sluggish income gains and tight credit are still dampening consumer spending, a major contributor to economic activity. Commercial real estate remains fragile. And though housing activity has edged up, it is still at depressed levels.

Bank lending continues to shrink. The Fed’s statement included nothing that would lead most economists to move up their forecasts for when the central bank will start raising rates. The soonest the Fed will do so is the fourth quarter, 34 of 44 leading economists polled told The Associated Press in a recent survey. “The Fed did upgrade its assessment of the economy, but clearly there is too much headwind for the recovery” for the Fed to signal any plans to boost rates, said Sung Won Sohn, economist at California State University.

Dems may use Goldman to justify overhaul WASHINGTON (AP) — A Senate showdown has put Goldman Sachs’ defense of its conduct in the run-up to the financial crisis on display before indignant lawmakers and a national audience. Democrats hope it also builds momentum for legislation, now before the Senate, to tighten regulation of the nation’s financial system. Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein testily told skeptical senators at a hearing Tuesday that clients who bought subprime mortgage securities from the Wall Street powerhouse in 2006 and 2007 came looking for risk “and that’s what they got.” The Senate investigative panel alleges the firm bet against its clients — and the housing market — by taking short positions on mortgage securities, and failed to tell them that the

securities it was selling were very high risk. Blankfein was the final witness in a daylong hearing on Goldman’s conduct before the financial nearmeltdown that turned into the worst recession since the Great Depression. The Securities and Exchange Commission filed a civil fraud suit earlier this month against the firm and one of its traders. A group of 62 House lawmakers, meanwhile, is asking the Justice Department to conduct a criminal investigation of Goldman. Rep. Marcy Kaptur, D-Ohio, announced Wednesday a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder requesting an immediate opening of a criminal probe. “On the face of the SEC filing, criminal fraud on a historic scale seems to have occurred in this instance,” the letter said.

The company, at its annual meeting in Houston, is telling investors that key economic indicators like housing and unemployment have stabilized, and that capital markets are improving. General Electric Co.

says losses have peaked in its GE Capital lending unit and that the division should return to profit growth soon. GE Capital was the source of many of the company’s problems last year, hit by the downturn in areas like credit cards, mortgages and commercial real estate. GE, based in Fairfield, Conn., hopes its industrial businesses will help it recover from the recession.

Stocks climb on earnings NEW YORK (AP) — Investors gave stocks a rebound after reassuring words from the Federal Reserve and another batch of upbeat earnings reports. The Dow Jones industrials rose 53 points Wednesday, making back a quarter of the 213 they lost the previous day. Investors were able to shake off Standard & Poor’s downgrade of Spain’s debt, the third European country in two days to have its rating lowered. Instead, they focused on the domestic economy. The Fed today said it expects to keep rates low for an “extended period” to help strengthen the economy. Earnings provided a boost to stocks throughout the day. Cable company Comcast Corp., defense contractor Northrop Grumman Corp. and Dow Chemical Co. were the latest companies to top earnings expectations. Tim Courtney, chief investment officer at Burns Advisory Group in Oklahoma City, said that improving sales at companies like Dow Chemical prove the economy is healing. “It indicates consumers may be getting back on their feet,” Courtney said. The Dow rose 53.28, or 0.5 percent, to 11,045.27. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 7.65, or 0.7 percent, to 1,191.36.

Spain downgraded as crisis widens

BERLIN (AP) — Europe’s debt crisis flared again Wednesday as Spain saw its credit rating lowered, just as Germany sought to reassure markets fearful over a possible Greek financial collapse by saying its share of a key aid package could be approved in the next few days. Stock and bond markets had begun to regain their composure caused by stinging downgrades of Greece and Portugal the day before when the Standard & Poors ratings agency delivered more bad news by cutting Spain’s rating to AA from AA+. The agency said Spain’s growth prospects were weak after the collapse of a credit-fuelled housing and construction bubble. The downgrade raises the ominous pros-

pect of market contagion hitting another countrys’ finances. Spain’s economy is much larger than that of Greece or Portugal and many think it’s simply too big to bail out if it gets into serious trouble, as Greece has, by facing unsustainable costs to borrow money on bond markets. “We now believe that the Spanish economy’s shift away from creditfuelled economic growth is likely to result in a more protracted period of sluggish activity than we previously assumed,” Standard & Poor’s credit analyst Marko Mrsnik said. The announcement came after a day of market drops and turmoil following the downgrades of Greece — to junk status — and Portugal.

Comcast profit rises in first quarter PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Consumers signing up for digital cable TV and high-speed Internet services led to a 12 percent increase in first-quarter profit for Comcast Corp. The company also said advertising on its cable channels rebounded in the quarter, indicating that an economic upturn is taking hold.

The nation’s largest cable TV provider still sounded cautious notes Wednesday, as the jobless rate remains high and the housing market still is under duress. Cable companies often consider the construction of new homes to be prime opportunities to sign up new customers as they move.

Microsoft sides with HTC in Apple fight REDMOND, Wash. (AP) — Microsoft Corp. appears to be taking sides with the Taiwanese cell phone maker HTC Corp. in its legal tussle with Apple Inc. over intellectual property. Microsoft said Wednesday that it has reached an agreement that will give HTC the rights to use its technology in phones using Google’s Android software. Financial terms were not disclosed. Microsoft called the deal “an example of how industry leaders can reach commercial arrangements that address intellectual property.” Although Microsoft didn’t mention Apple directly, this pact comes a month after Apple sued HTC and accused the company of violating patents related to the iPhone.

Goodyear loss narrows CLEVELAND (AP) — Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. reported sharply improved global sales Wednesday but charges led by a Venezuelan currency devaluation dragged it to a loss for the first quarter. CEO Richard Kramer said as markets around the world improve, the Akron tire maker is seeing the benefits of its actions like launching new products during an economic downturn. Revenue jumped 21 percent.

Its shares rose 3 cents to $14.08 in late morning trading after trading as high as $15.27 earlier in the session. Goodyear shares have traded in a 52-week range of $9.63 to $18.84. The pullback came after Kramer told analysts in a conference call that a key challenge will be rising rubber costs and uncertainties over the economic recovery. The company remains optimistic but recognizes issues that might affect the global rebound, in-

cluding unemployment levels in the United States and Europe and volatile consumer spending, Kramer said. Goodyear reported that it lost $47 million, or 19 cents a share, in the quarter ended March 31. It lost $333 million, or $1.38 per share, a year ago. Excluding the currency devaluation and other charges, Goodyear would have earned 18 cents a share. Analysts expected a 2 cent a share loss excluding charges.

Sprint staves off subscriber losses NEW YORK (AP) — Sprint Nextel Corp. got more customers to stick around in the first quarter but did so by offering cheaper service, and posted a larger loss than a year earlier. The nation’s third-largest wireless carrier said Wednesday that it lost a net 75,000 subscribers in the first three months of 2010, compared to a decline of 182,000 in the same quarter last year. Its quarterly loss amounted to $865 million, or 29 cents per share, versus a loss of $594 million, or 21 cents per share, a year earlier.
