HIGH POINT – Some people have never heard of it. Others depend on it to save their lives.

tion speaks volumes about its role in the community. Jason Baisden, executive director of the NCAFC, announced that the Community Clinic would receive the largest installment of money at its board meeting Wednesday. The BCBS Foundation appropriates funds to free clinics each

year, but this year the funding was based on a new set of guidelines that measures each clinic’s effectiveness, Baisden said. “The (BCBS) Foundation came to us and said they wanted to see not only how many patients were being treated, but how many patients were actually getting better,” he said. “We created a survey and sent it to the clinics.” Data derived from the survey, such as the improvement of diabetic patients during treatment, was used

to create a 21-point scale system that determines how much each clinic receives in funding from the organizations. The Community Clinic received 20 points on its evaluation, also the highest score in the state. The Community Clinic is a free clinic that provides health care at little to no cost to low-income, uninsured and under-insured persons. It is operated by a team of volunteers that includes doctors and pharmacists. North Carolina has 79 free clinics, which is

more than any other state. Jerri White, director of the clinic, said the funds were a blessing. “This money awarded to us not only recognizes the quality of care the patients at Community Clinic receive, but it comes at a time when we have experienced significant reduction in funding from some longtime contributors,” she said. The clinic has also seen a 22 percent increase in patients in the last year.

City takes action against local landlord BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – High Point City Council members had strong words for a local landlord, citing the condition of one of the southeast High Point properties it manages. The council this week adopted ordinances to vacate and close two dwellings owned by Schwarz Properties LLC of Asheboro that are riddled with minimum housing code violations, according to the city. City inspectors said the owner had failed to comply with an order to repair 20 violations that were flagged at 507-D Meredith St.

by May 12 and had not obtained any of the permits necessary for the repairs. The other site in violation is 906 Carter St. “As a landlord, you have a responsibility. You’ve dropped the ball on this,” Councilman John Faircloth told Schwarz representative Frank Edmondson at a Monday meeting. “I think we’ve heard about enough excuses from Mr. Schwarz.” Edmondson estimated the company manages between 600 and 700 commercial and residential properties in the city and cut its staff by half about two years ago. He told the council the company plans to renovate the entire Meredith Street

complex, which is composed of 32 units, and bring it up to code. “There is no good excuse other than we’re behind on other projects,” Edmondson said. “We know that it is a major problem. I think we could complete all 32 units in 12 months.” He added that about 40 percent of the complex is occupied and that keeping vacant properties secured also has been a concern. “This area, it’s been run-down,” he said. Faircloth advised the company to give the police department written authorization to arrest trespassers at its properties.

“Twelve months is a long time for this neighborhood, which has been dealing with it for years and years,” said Mayor Becky Smothers. “When you start pulling permits, you’re going to have some dates, and those dates are going to be enforced.” In addition to the Schwarz properties, the council also adopted ordinances to vacate and close dwellings at 1002 Tabor St., owned by Michael Dunigan and John Bracia, 1020 Montlieu Ave., owned by Norman Bennett, and 2209-A Chambers St., owned by LSB Properties Inc.

Party on the Plank returns tonight BY JORDAN HOWSE ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

AT A GLANCE

—

What: Party on the Plank Where: Mendenhall Station shelter at 210 E. Commerce Ave. across from Showplace When: Thursdays, 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. The first band starts at 6 p.m. and the second band starts at 7:30 p.m. The remainder of the schedule will include: • June 24- John Coltrane Jazz and Blues Night with Four for One Jazz Quartet and Calvin Edwards • July 1- Blue Ridge James (bluegrass) and The Fairlanes (blues) • July 8- The Speakers (rock) and Brace (Latin rock)

HIGH POINT– Party on the Plank is back tonight with John Coltrane Jazz and Blues Night. The party starts at 5:30 p.m. and the first band begins at 6 p.m. Four for One Jazz Quartet and Calvin Edwards will perform tonight at the Mendenhall Transportation Terminal. Tonight’s party has a special cause. Party on the Plank has teamed up with the Prentice Foundation to bring attention to John Coltrane and use this night as a precursor to starting a jazz festival in High Point. “I think tonight’s event will be one of the biggest nights because so many people have interest in John Coltrane, even people outside of High Point,” said event chairman Elijah Lovejoy. Party on the Plank was an idea conceived by Lovejoy. He wanted to create a concept of community and a “town square” atmosphere

for downtown High Point. It originally was to be held at the Neal F. Austin High Point Public Library, but only spent one Thursday there because of rain and summer heat. “It has definitely created that concept of community I was aim-

ing for,” Lovejoy said. “We get people from all walks of life. I definitely think this is a successful event.” Last week, about 550 people showed up at Mendenhall Transportation Terminal, which is around 250 less than previous weeks. Lovejoy said he doesn’t believe the turnout was because of the party’s official move to Mendenhall Transportation Terminal, but because the band were less known. “We did a good job of getting the word out that Party on the Plank had been moved, so I think that played little part in the smaller crowd,” Lovejoy said. Music, art, dancing, merchandise, beverages, food and kids activities will continue tonight. Tonight, like every Thursday, the first 2,000 people who buy admission bracelets will get giveaways. This week, they will receive coupons from Chic-fil-A. editor@hpe.com | 888-3537

Health care officials visit Triad BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Healthcare reform may have faded from the public eye in the wake of the Gulf oil spill, but health-care leaders have made stops in the Triad reminding Americans it’s an issue on which they should continue to educate themselves. A federal government website at www.healthcare.gov that offers a list of private and government health care plans will be launched July 1. The website is bound to stir up further discussion about health care reform in the coming days, said Robert Moffit, a senior fellow at Heritage Foundation’s Center for Health Policy Studies, while visiting Greensboro to speak at a health-care conference at the Embassy Suites. Conservative politicians and think-tanks such as the Heritage Foundation have spoken out against portions of the health-care reform bill since it was presented. President Barack Obama signed the Senate version of the reform bill into law on March 23, and it will take full effect in

Health care officials issue tips on what concerned citizens can do about health care reform: • Educate yourself: The 2,400-page health-care reform bill can be found online. Politicians and officials suggest the general public should educate themselves about the bill as much as possible. • Log onto www.healthcare.gov: On July 1, the federal government’s website about health care reform will be launched. It will include a list of public and private plans available under the bill. • Stay active in elections: The health care reform bill has been passed, but many regulations have yet to be set in stone. With a congressional election in November and a presidential election in 2012, remember to select candidates that may support the same regulatory measures that you support. 2014. Moffit said some of the biggest problems with the reform bill include cutting half a trillion dollars from Medicare and expanding Medicaid. “At the beginning of this debate, President Obama said he wanted to bend the spending curve downward,” he said. “This bill actually bends it upward.” Health insurance plans also should mimic car insurance or life insurance plans in terms of portability, he said.

“You don’t own your health insurance like those policies,” he said. “You can’t take it with you. But health insurance companies should be forced to compete for your business like auto insurance companies. People should be able to choose their own plans.” The controversial bill gained the support of Congress, and there are some reasons for that, said Nicole Lamoureux, executive director of the National Association of Free Clinics,

who spoke to the board of directors of the High Point Community Clinic on Wednesday. “In terms of making health care more accessible to individuals, this has been a historic first step,” Lamoureux said. “But it is a first step.” While accessibility, along with portability and affordability, were supposed to be three major focuses in the bill, Lamoureux told the clinic’s board of directors that there still would be between 23 million to 29 million uninsured people in America even after it kicks into full swing. “There is always going to be a need for the uninsured, and there will always be people who need your help,” she told the board. “(When the bill kicks in), free clinics will have to ask themselves if they need to change. Perhaps they will. But there will always be someone without coverage.” As far as what concerned individuals should do now, Lamoureux said a repeal of the bill was unlikely, but its regulations had not been completely decided upon yet.

ACCURACY...

HIGH POINT – The congregation of Bridge-Hope New Covenant Church is holding a yard sale 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday to help a family in need. It came to the church’s attention that two of their own were soon to be without a roof over their heads. An elderly woman developed poor health and her daughter moved in to help care for her. Times became hard, and as a result, the threat of their home being taken away became a close reality. Instead of just offering them a prayer, the church extended their hearts and the yard sale was put into motion. Mark Byrd, a member of the congregation and in charge of the men’s ministry at Bridge-Hope, said the community’s involvement really helped the event come together. “We had several local businesses donate items to the yard sale,” Byrd said. “People are coming together in the community to help their neighbors.” Brentwood Service Center and Kendra’s Home Cleaning are among some of the businesses that donated their services and a gas grill and a handcarved cedar chest were donated to be raffled off at the event.

Attendees also will be offered a special deal at the yard sale. Shoppers will be given a plastic grocery bag to fit as many clothes as they can in the bag — all for $2. If hunger pangs strike, hot dogs and hamburgers will be available. The famished can buy a $3 combo of two hot dogs, a bag of chips and a drink. They also have the option of substituting a hamburger for the same deal. The yard sale will be held in the parking lot of the church, located at 2509 Westchester Drive. In an effort to raise the amount of food in the church’s food bank, a gospel concert will be held on the same day at 6 p.m. Living Waters will perform at the church. Donations of canned goods and other nonperishable items will be collected as an entry fee. “We’ve helped several families in the past,” Byrd said. “We don’t want to see families going to bed hungry.” Saturday’s event is about supporting those in need in the community, Byrd said. “With the yard sale and the concert, we are showing our compassion and love towards the community,” he said. “Times are hard, and we’re doing our part to help.”

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The sweepstakes and arcade industries came to the Legislature on Wednesday with a crowd of employees and players to urge lawmakers not to extend a video game gambling ban to computer-based games found at several hundred Internet cafes and business centers. Companies that operate about 100 copying, fax and Internet service locations that also offer the games helped bring in 25 busloads of workers and some players to the Legislative Building to try to dissuade House members from banning the games. The Senate approved the sweepstakes ban by a 471 vote earlier this week. A House committee will consider the measure soon. Organizers estimated between 1,200 and 1,500 people visited Raleigh, with hundreds holding signs outside in the 95degree heat. They said expanding the ban to including sweepstakes

Al-Qaida front group says it bombed bank BAGHDAD – An al-Qaida front group claimed responsibility Wednesday for bombing a state-run investment bank, gloating over its ease in penetrating security in an attack that killed at least 18 people. Sunday’s attack on the Trade Bank of Iraq was meant to expose the weakness of the country’s stalled government, according to a statement posted on the website of the Islamic State of Iraq. The statement called the bank a “stronghold of evil” because it was established to attract foreign investment.

Brazilian mayor: Floods flattened entire town RIO DE JANEIRO – Torrential waters flattened a small town as floods raged through two states in northeastern Brazil and the death toll was expected to surpass 44 as rescuers searched Wednesday for hundreds of people reported missing. Mayor Ana Lopes said the entire town of Branquinha, population 12,000, will have to be rebuilt in a different location. Television footage showed a train station washed away, its tracks ripped from the earth.

Magnitude-5.0 earthquake reported in Canada TORONTO – A magnitude-5.0 earthquake struck at the Ontario-Quebec border region of Canada on Wednesday, the U.S. Geological Survey said, and homes and businesses were shaken from Canada’s capital in Ottawa on south to an arc of U.S. states. There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage. Morgan Moschetti, a seismologist with the USGS, said it was not unusual for an earthquake to be felt 300 miles from the epicenter.

Jamaican kingpin’s reign comes to a quiet end KINGSTON, Jamaica – Christopher “Dudus” Coke was born into gang royalty, running a smuggling operation that supplied drugs up and down the U.S. East Coast. He used the proceeds to cast himself as a Jamaican Robin Hood, and his power grew to rival that of the prime minister. That reign was at an end Wednesday, with Coke behind bars at a secret location and facing almost certain extradition to the U.S.

Man arrested for explosives ahead of G-20 TORONTO – A Toronto man was charged Wednesday with possession of explosives in what police are calling a Group of 20 summit-related arrest. Officers armed with a search warrant went to a million-dollar-plus home in a wealthy neighborhood in Toronto’s north end and charged Byron Sonne, 37, with several offenses, including possession of explosives, dangerous weapons, intimidating a justice system participant and mischief, police said.

Couple sentenced for illegal coral trade CHARLOTTE AMALIE, U.S. Virgin Islands – A Taiwanese couple in the U.S. Virgin Islands has received what the Justice Department says are the longest prison sentences ever issued for illegal coral trade. Ivan Chu was sentenced Wednesday to 30 months in prison while Gloria Chu was sentenced to 20 months. The couple pleaded guilty in March to illegally importing more than $194,000 worth of protected black coral to a company in St. Thomas from 2007 to 2009.

Prince Albert bids adieu to bachelorhood PARIS – Prince Albert is giving Monaco a crown princess at last. Ditching decades of bachelorhood, the boyish if balding monarch announced Wednesday he will marry South African ex-swimming champion Charlene Wittstock. Albert’s betrothed has iconic shoes to fill, stepping into a role left vacant since the death of much-beloved Princess Grace in a car crash.

Report: 115 million widows live in poverty UNITED NATIONS – At least 245 million women around the world have been widowed and more than 115 million of them live in devastating poverty, according to a new study launched Tuesday night by Cherie Blair, wife of the former British prime minister. The most dire consequences are faced by 2 million Afghan widows and at least 740,000 Iraqi widows who lost their husbands as a result of the ongoing wars; by widows evicted from their family homes in sub-Saharan Africa; by elderly widows caring for grandchildren orphaned by the HIV/AIDS crisis, and by child widows aged 7 to 17 in developing countries, the report said.

CRITICAL COMPONENT: Engineers uncap broken oil well in Gulf. 8A

Managing Editor: Sherrie Dockery sdockery@hpe.com (336) 888-3539

McChrystal out; Petraeus picked for Afghanistan WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; President Barack Obama sacked his loose-lipped Afghanistan commander Wednesday, a seismic shift for the military order in wartime, and chose the familiar, admired â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and tightly disciplined â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Gen. David Petraeus to replace him. Petraeus, architect of the Iraq McChrystal war turnaround, was once again to take hands-on leadership of a troubled war effort. Obama said bluntly that Gen. Stanley McChrystalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scornful remarks about administration officials in interviews for a magazine article represent conduct that â&#x20AC;&#x153;undermines the civilian control of the military that is at the core of our democratic system.â&#x20AC;? He fired the commander after summoning him from Afghanistan for a face-toface meeting in the Oval Office and named Petraeus, the Central Command chief who was McChrystalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s direct boss, to step in. By pairing those announcements, Obama sought to move on from the firestorm that was renewing debate over his revamped Afghanistan policy. It was meant to assure Afghans, U.S. allies and a restive American electorate that a firm hand is running the war.

Families return home but Arizona fire still burning FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Her house smelled like smoke, but Mary Oravits was elated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m home! Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m finally home!â&#x20AC;? the Flagstaff resident said after being allowed back into her neighborhood Wednesday. Oravits was one of about 1,000 people who evacuated their homes Sunday after a forest fire started tearing though stands of ponderosa pine north of the city and rising up the slopes of the nearby San Francisco Peaks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The day that it happened, it looked like it was coming over here quickly,â&#x20AC;? Oravits said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was really distraught. At first, you think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to lose everything, which is hard to absorb.â&#x20AC;?

AFGHANS RELIEVED AT OBAMAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S CHOICE KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Afghan officials expressed relief at the choice of Gen. David Petraeus to replace Gen. Stanley McChrystal as the top U.S. and NATO commander. After President Barack Obama announced the selection, Afghan authorities said they were relieved because the veteran war commander helped craft the counterinsurgency strategy being implemented in Afghanistan.

President Barack Obama (center), accompanied by Vice President Joe Biden (left), and Gen. David Petraeus, announces in the Rose Garden of the White House in Washington that Petraeus would replace Gen. Stanley McChrystal as the top commander in Afghanistan. Expressing praise for McChrystal yet certainty he had to go, Obama said he did not make the decision over any disagreement in policy or â&#x20AC;&#x153;out of any sense of personal insult.â&#x20AC;? Flanked by Vice President Joe Biden, Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, in the Rose Garden, he said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;War is bigger than any one man or woman, whether a pri-

vate, a general, or a president.â&#x20AC;? He urged the Senate to confirm Petraeus swiftly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a change in personnel but it is not a change in policy,â&#x20AC;? Obama said. The president delivered the same message in a phone call to Afghan President Hamid Karzai, the White House said, and Karzai told Obama he would work toward a smooth transition. As Obama was speak-

ing in the Rose Garden, McChrystal released a statement saying that he resigned out of â&#x20AC;&#x153;a desire to see the mission succeedâ&#x20AC;? and expressing support for the war strategy. British Prime Minister David Cameron says a British general is tempo-

rarily taking charge of NATO-led forces in Afghanistan. Cameron said the British deputy commander of ISAF, Lt. Gen. Nick Parker, has assumed command â&#x20AC;&#x153;pending Gen. Petraeusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s confirmation by Congress.â&#x20AC;?

TOM PURCELL: There’s an upside to hiring independent contractors. TOMORROW

Opinion Page Editor: Vince Wheeler vwheeler@hpe.com (336) 888-3517

Do the right thing; have pets spayed, neutered I would like to tell those who don’t know about the spay and neuter clinic on Wendover Avenue. It’s the Planned Pethood Spay and Neuter Clinic, and it’s located in the Humane Society building at 4527 W. Wendover Avenue. I have had four pets altered there in the last several years. They do a wonderful job. You can usually get your pet back the same day. The charge is reasonable. All my animals are doing well and stay healthy. Please consider this for your pet. We need to stop the unnecessary killing of our animals because they are here through no fault of their own. Personally, I’m a believer that if you take care of the female (spayed), the rest will take care of themselves. Some people may not agree with that, but males don’t have litters. Since I can’t save any but my own, please call and set up an appointment and do your part in stopping the senseless and unnecessary killing of innocent animals. They only have us to save them since they do what

How mad must we get in order to vote? May I say a few words? My words. One of the most disgraceful things I have ever witnessed was the president of Mexico berating the state of Arizona because they passed a law against lawbreakers. And also when I saw Nancy Pelosi almost leave the ground jumping up to applaud him. Our president did nothing to stand up for Arizona, who was only doing what the federal government won’t do – control our borders! Both sides of the aisle acted like zombies and wimps while Mexico

told us how bad we were. I would have walked out of such a gathering, and let the president of Mexico know that he has plenty to do in his country before he becomes an expert on USA affairs. Trying to be politically correct will ruin this great country. Sending four young students out to change their shirts because they had “American” flags on them. Calling one child out for wearing a rosary. What in this world has happened to our great country? We need to start kicking a.., and it needs to start in Washington, D.C. This bowing and apologizing to every leader of an enemy country needs to end. Right now! Be it the president or any of his Cabinet. Now they want to build a mosque next to ground zero, where almost 3,000 of our people from the USA and other countries were slaughtered, including my great niece in her early 20s.

OUR VIEW

igh Point residents will see no property tax rate increase in the coming year under a $308 million city budget approved Monday for the new fiscal year, which begins July 1. That’s good news for their pocketbooks, especially in light of the fact that water, sewer and electric rates have risen or are rising nearly 5 percent this year. Officials are to be commended for holding the line on High Point’s 63.3cent property tax rate at a time when reductions in operating expenses were necessary because of declines in other revenues the city receives. City leaders cut about $12 million in expenses from the coming year’s budget, on top of about $4 million in expenses cut from the current year’s budget. Those increased utilities rates, however, are reminders to staff and officials that they need to keep looking for ways to save taxpayers and utilities customers money throughout the coming year. City staff and officials especially need to keep looking for more efficient ways to run the water, sewer and electric systems. They must sustain efficient operations that don’t result in less service to customers. One area of concern for the city may be operation of its new recycling system. Residents received larger recycling bins, but collection of those items was cut back to once every two weeks. In some areas of the city, residents are complaining that the recycling service is less convenient for them. It’s partly that it will take some customers time to adjust to the new schedule, but it’s also incumbent upon the city to make sure its changes don’t discourage recycling. Another positive aspect of the new city budget is the way in which expenses were reduced at the High Point Public Library. Originally, Director Kem Ellis had considered closing the facility on Mondays. Instead, he came up with a schedule to keep the library open seven days a week but reduce operating hours a few days a week. Such a move provides continuous service but at the same time reduces budget expenses. For another year, city residents have avoided harsh budget consequences of these tough fiscal times.

Barton demonstrates need for publicly funded elections

K, let’s make sure we have this straight. An oil rig operated by British Petroleum explodes in the Gulf of Mexico. Eleven people die. As much as 2.5 million gallons of BP oil gushes into the Gulf every day. Fragile eco-systems are wrecked, sea life is slimed, fishermen and boaters who make their living from the Gulf are facing ruin and BP, we discover, had no real plan for handling a catastrophe of this magnitude. So we should apologize to BP? That was the astonishing, incomprehensible and galling conclusion of Texas Rep. Joe Barton last week in a congressional hearing. He was reacting to news President Obama had secured from BP a $20 billion escrow fund to help those whose lives were upended by the spill. You’d think that was a good thing, but Barton told BP CEO Tony Hayward, “I apologize. I do not want to live in a country where anytime a citizen or a corporation does something that is legitimately wrong is subject to some sort of political pressure that ... amounts to a shakedown. So I apologize.” Hours later, under fire from Democrats and his fellow Republicans, Barton apologized for the apology and retracted it. But the damage was already done. Indeed, the gaffe was a gift to Democrats, who wasted no time hammering the GOP with it. Why not? The apology plays right into the narrative of a GOP snugly in the pocket of Big Oil. Barton alone has accepted more than $100,000 in donations from that industry just since 2009. And according to the non-partisan Center for Responsive Politics, oil interests have given him more than $1.4 million since 1990 – more than any other representative. As we can plainly see, he works hard for the money. Still, it seems short-sighted to frame this only in the context of one politician – or even one party – in thrall to a single industry. To peruse the CRP website (www.crp.org) is to be forcefully reminded just how much sway business interests have over what are supposedly our elected officials. From South Carolina Rep. James Clyburn, who’s received $145,000 from the utilities in-

dustry since 2009 to South Dakota Sen. Tim Johnson, who’s received $322,000 since 2005 from insurance companies, to Nevada Sen. John Ensign’s $305,000 from casinos since 2005 to Florida Rep. Kendrick Meek’s $779,000 from lawyers since 2009, there is no shortage OPINION of lawmakers who work hard for the corporate money. What is less Leonard certain is the number who work Pitts hard for the national good. ■■■ America’s democracy has become a pay to play system in which lack of money equals invisibility and muteness. The solution is obvious: public funding of all national political campaigns. How else will these people know who they work for? And isn’t that ultimately the crux of Joe Barton’s confusion? Every election cycle, the people and the politicians join in an act of willful self-deception, a ritualized charade in which everybody knows the truth, but nobody speaks it. Politicians flood the airwaves with commercials that show them walking and talking with the common folk who listen with rapt attention. The final shot frames the candidate with a flag in the background as he or she gazes soulfully into the middle distance and promises to work on our behalf, to always be on our side. They pretend to mean it and we pretend to believe it. But last week, Joe Barton didn’t even care enough to pretend. Instead, he stood tall against the people and environment of the Gulf Coast, and with the industry that gave him $1.4 million. There is a certain raw truth in that image that blasts all pretense away. As he genuflects before his corporate masters, Barton also reflects the ugly underside of American politics. And validates an ancient axiom that suddenly sounds like a warning: You get what you pay for. LEONARD PITTS JR., winner of the 2004 Pulitzer Prize for commentary, is a columnist for the Miami Herald.

COMMENTARY THE HIGH POINT ENTERPRISE THURSDAY, JUNE 24, 2010 www.hpe.com

High Point leaders seek to awaken giant â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;S Give BP execs jail time

t seems like when there is a natural disaster a â&#x20AC;&#x153;fire and brimstoneâ&#x20AC;? preacher claims that God is punishing a city or country with ruin and ravage for committing sins. Hurricane Katrina wreaked havoc on godless New Orleans. Jamaicaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s earthquake resulted from an unholy pact. But with the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, only man can be blamed for the worst environmental disaster in our nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history. Congress was quick to hold hearings and to call in top oil executives. Yet, Attorney General Eric Holderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office must take the lead. Congressional hearings are unlikely to serve justice; they are set up to placate the publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anger. Congress wants to show Americans how much concern they are getting for their taxes, all that rage. The congressional committees require that oil executives testify under oath about who knew what and when. How much these hearings are for the effect! They are staged camera spectacles and are meant to give the feeling that somebody is in big trouble, but they are toothless. Rep. Ed Markey, DMass., and Rep. Bart Stupak, D-Mich., might as well be bona fide entertainers after all; they are showmen without result. Justice Department prosecutors must seek jail time for BP executives. Criminal charges could likely be filed under a number of environmental protection laws, the Clean Water Act, the Refuse Act, the Oil Pollution Act, the Endangered Species Act, the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the Marine Mammal Protection Act. Yet, would such violations carry the jail time necessary to suggest the criminality of BPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s errors? The oil company has destroyed an ecosystem for

decades. BP executives should be charged with high crimes against the Earth; they should spend their lives considering the rampant greed. They should at least spend 20 years in prison. Tough? OPINION No. China executed a key player in its â&#x20AC;&#x153;tainted Kristine milk scandal.â&#x20AC;? The oil Kaiser executives are culpable. â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; It is not enough to make the BP corporation liable for civil damages. The multinational outfit is accustomed to fines and monetary punishment. The company is worth billions. How can executives be made accountable for misdeeds when large fortunes protect their every move? How do we make them act responsibly when millions in profits are turned in from wrongdoing? Corporations need a human face, so that they get a hard message. Human beings caused BPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oil spill, and human beings must face the sorry consequences. If a criminal violation equal to damage is not on the books, then Congress should create one. It is felonious to poison an ocean and make it unsuitable for wildlife and life forms. Tea Partier Rand Paul defends BP and says that â&#x20AC;&#x153;accidentsâ&#x20AC;? donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need a villain. The BP oil spill is from years of greed, unsafe short cuts, and a criminal lack of consideration for the environment. It was an â&#x20AC;&#x153;accidentâ&#x20AC;? waiting to happen. Attorney General Eric Holder is obligated to press serious charges against BP executives. The BP executives redefine the criminal code. KRISTINE KAISER lives in Kernersville.

winging the pendulum, awakening the giant, rolling a snowball into an avalanche.â&#x20AC;? All these phrases City Project leaders Aaron Clinard and Wendy Fuscoe use to describe the task of revitalizing High Pointâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eleven square mile core city area. Yet in spite of the herculean nature of their charge, Clinard and Fuscoe do not consider themselves the real heroes, only enablers and catalysts. For the real heroes they point to grass-roots individuals such as Kathy Moffitt, Chip Duckett, Deena Qubein and others who have initiated projects to improve High Pointâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s core city area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an energy building and once it reaches snowball level weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to see an avalanche,â&#x20AC;? Clinard says with quiet enthusiasm. Not everything has gone according to plan, however. Fuscoe praises High Pointâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business recruitment success, but wishes more business executives would choose to live and get involved in High Point, instead of just locating their business here. She has applied for three major grants through the EPA Brownfields program, the Surdna Foundation and the NEA, all to fund High Point revitalization work and been declined for all three. Clinard says his work to revitalize High Pointâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s urban core is â&#x20AC;&#x153;one of the most challenging volunteer jobs Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever had.â&#x20AC;? He particularly laments the defeat of the Market Overlay District, which he describes as one of his â&#x20AC;&#x153;biggest disappointments.â&#x20AC;? And both Fuscoe and Clinard recognize the need to do a better job of educating the general populace, since elected leaders respond to the concerns of their citizens. In spite of setbacks, Clinard and Fuscoe are confident High Pointâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entrepreneurial spirit is alive and well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are undaunted,â&#x20AC;? Fuscoe says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to keep trying.â&#x20AC;? As evidence they point to a growing list of revitalization-focused projects bubbling up in High Pointâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s core city area. The Beach Music Blast was a great success last year. Kathy Moffitt and the Forward Five have banded

together as a group of women to raise funds for High Point revitalization in coordination with the City Project. Chip Duckett spearheaded last monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first ever High Point OPINION City Criterium bicycle race downtown. Deena Elijah Qubein initiated a High Lovejoy Point Young Profesâ&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; sionals group geared toward socializing and meeting new friends. Party on the Plank is targeting cultural renewal through a summer street festival. South Main Street and Uptowne groups have formed to focus on revitalizing their section of the core city. City Project offices are moving to Washington Street. And the list continues. Clinard and Fuscoe are especially heartened by developers taking a second look at High Pointâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s core city area, who were previously dismissive. In each scenario, wherever possible The City Project has sought to facilitate, connect and resource these budding projects with the knowledge and assets at their disposal. When asked whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming next, Clinard and Fuscoe point to street scaping, building public support and expanding into new industries that have synergy with furniture. Clinard would also like to see an arena that is convertible to tradeshow space. Though this seems like a tall order, Clinard points to Greenville, S.C., which has half the population of High Point and a downtown envied throughout the Southeast. The key to their success? They began revitalization work 30 years ago. One approach to gaining traction is throwing lots of things against the wall to see what sticks. In the case of High Pointâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s City Project, it appears some things are beginning to stick, and Clinard and Fuscoeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s undaunted optimism surely deserves some of the credit.

CNN hires Spitzer, Parker for new show

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A hot, dark and miserable four-hour stretch spent by hundreds of travelers parked in a diverted trans-Atlantic plane renewed calls Wednesday to add international travel to a months-old federal rule limiting how long airlines can keep passengers trapped on the tarmac.

Engineers uncap broken oil well NEW ORLEANS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Engineers had to completely uncap the broken oil well spewing into the Gulf of Mexico Wednesday after an undersea robot bumped into machinery being used to collect the spilled fuel. Hundreds of thousands of gallons more poured into the water as crews scrambled to replace a critical component. The mishap left nothing to stem the flow of oil at its source. A camera recording the well showed huge clouds of black fluid coming out of the sea floor. It was not clear how long workers would need to replace the cap, which took weeks to install. Bob Dudley, the managing director of BP who is taking over the spill response, said engineers expected to replace the

Allen said Wednesday one man was killed by what investigators later called a self-inflicted gunshot wound, and the other workerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death involved swimming.

Archdale incumbents to run again BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

ARCHDALE – The three members and the mayor of Archdale City Council up for re-election in November have confirmed they will seek office again. Councilmen Lewis Dorsett, Larry Warlick and Eddie Causey, as well as Mayor Bert Lance-Stone, told The High Point Enterprise this week they will seek re-election. Filing for municipal elections begins July 2 and ends July 16. Lance-Stone is hoping to be elected to her sixth consecutive two-year term as mayor. Prior to serving 10 years as mayor, she was on City Council for two four-year terms. “Archdale is so sound financially,” she said. “I just think it’s a good time to serve for two more years. It has certainly been my privilege and honor, and I hope the citizens will allow me to serve two more years.” Dorsett, who represents Ward 4, said he plans to run at least one more time. He has served on the council for three consecutive terms. Dorsett said he wants to serve on the council to see a feasibility study on a joint wastewater treatment plant between Randolph County, Trinity and Archdale come to fruition. “I feel like as long as I continue to serve positively, I will try to run one more time and see from there,” Dorsett said. At a time when the city of Archdale will soon get water from the Randleman Regional Reservoir, Dorsett, Causey and Warlick said they would like to continue to serve on the council. “There are going to be some things that are going to have to be addressed because we have the new system coming on with Randleman Lake and we have been dealing with High Point and Davidson Water,” Warlick said. “Now, it’s trying to blend everything together and make sure our citizens have the services they need.” Causey, an at-large member, and Warlick, who represents Ward 1, both have served two four-year terms. The other members of the City Council will be up for re-election in 2012. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

HIGH POINT – Every lady needs a night off and a night out. Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc. will fulfill that need. On Friday, the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc. High Point Alumnae Chapter is sponsoring Ladies Night Out at Carl Chavis Memorial Branch YMCA, 2757 Granville St., High Point. Admission is $3 and a pair of socks, which will go to Samaritan’s Feet nonprofit ministry. Massages, free health screenings, food and games are just some of the activities for ladies at the event.

matic Thrust. “As part of the international awareness and involvement point of the plan, we chose for Samaritan’s Feet to benefit from this event because it benefits men, women and children,” Foster said. Ladies Night Out was chosen

as the theme because Foster says it will bring women of all ages together to support a good cause. Another point in the Five Point Programmatic Thrust is physical and mental health. At the event, health screenings, massages and aerobics are provided to help with physical health. Delta Sigma Theta was founded in 1913 at Howard University in Washington, D.C., by 22 collegiate women. It is the largest African-American Greek letter sorority in the world. Their organization emphasizes public service and the African-American community. “We hope people will join Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc. and Carl Chavis YMCA for fun, fellowship and fitness,” Foster said. The event begins at 6:30 p.m. and ends at 9 p.m. on Friday. editor@hpe.com | 888-3537

Economic recruiter detects more interest, tenants BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – The recent opening of another new business in High Point reflects an upturn in interest by companies, hopefully a sign of the waning of the recession. Navis Pack & Ship of the Piedmont Triad recently relocated to southern High Point from another location in the region, reports the High Point Economic Development Corp. The company occupies an 8,000-square-foot space at 238 Woodbine St., according to the EDC. Navis provides packing and shipping services for difficultto-ship items, such as fragile, large, awkward and valuable goods. The proprietors of the High Point location are Mike and Karen Coffey. Navis’ relocation to High Point follows an announcement Monday by the High Point EDC that a supplier to

Officials probe Fort Bragg accident FORT BRAGG (AP) – The Occupational Safety and Health Administration and the Army are investigating the shooting death of a contractor at Fort Bragg that happened during a live fire drill in which two others were wounded, officials said Wednesday. The contractor died at Womack Army Medical Center on Tuesday. A second range control contractor with Tennessee-based Echota Technologies Corp. was shot and wounded and flown to UNC Hospitals in Chapel Hill and has been released, the company said. A third person wounded, a soldier who is a student at the U.S. Army John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School, has been released from the hospital. The company did not release the contractors’ names. Close to 150 soldiers were at the range, but only 15 were taking part in the live fire exercise, said Maj. David Butler, a spokesman for the John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School. The soldiers were students in the Special Forces weapons sergeant course. They were training with M4 rifles and M249 Squad Automatic Weapons. The M249 is a light machine gun capable of firing bursts. It is unclear how the three men were shot and officials at Fort Bragg could not release details because of the investigation. The Army investigation started Tuesday and OSHA’s on Wednesday, according to Suzanne Street, the ageny’s area director in Raleigh. The agency, which oversees job safety regulations, is looking into the shooting because the contractor was employed by a private company. “We’re going to trying to figure out what happened and if there are any violations and make recommendations to prevent it from happening in the future,” Street said. Echota Chief Operations Officer Mark Boyatt said the company is cooperating with the investigations. Boyatt says his employees do not carry weapons and only provide range maintenance and support.

Senate OKs constitutional proposal on sheriffs

HAIZLIP FUNERAL HOME 206 FOURTH ST. HIGH POINT 882-4134

RALEIGH (AP) – Voters could decide whether convicted felons should be barred from running for sheriff in North Carolina. The Senate voted Wednesday by a 46-1 margin to put a proposed constitutional amendment on the ballot this fall that would prevent anyone convicted of a felony to serve as sheriff. The North Carolina Sheriffs’ Association backs the proposed change. Six candidates for sheriff who are known felons ran unsuccessfully during the May 4 primary.

Executive honey HEARING AIDS

North Carolina Gov. Bev Perdue shows off a honeycomb frame from one of two beehives on the grounds at the executive mansion in Raleigh on Tuesday. It was the first harvesting of honey from the hives since they were installed last November. Each hive is home to about 60,000 bees and can be harvested for about two and half gallons of honey.

Susie gives stamp of approval to new law RALEIGH â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Susie gave her stamp, or rather, paw print of approval to a law she inspired during a bill signing ceremony outside the N.C. Executive Mansion Wednesday. The pit bull mix wore pearls and had her nails painted pink to place an inked up paw print beside Gov. Bev Perdueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s signature on a measure to increase the penalties for animal cruelty. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Susie inspired a lot of us to stand up and say in

North Carolina we value our animals,â&#x20AC;? Perdue said after greeting Susie with a pat on the head. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t imagine what I would have done or what I would have said or how angry and hurt I would have been if somebody had done to our dog what was done to Susie. I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s absolutely unacceptable.â&#x20AC;? Although not forgotten, the day Susie was beaten, burned and left for dead seemed long ago in the executive mansions shady back lawn. Her biggest problem was making peace with Zipper and Dosie, Per-

dueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two terriers. After a few barks and snaps, all parties involved seemed to settle into the spirit of the day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This kind of wanton disregard for life leads to further kinds of abuse down the road,â&#x20AC;? Rep. Pricey Harrison said of Susieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case. The Greensboro Democrat along with Sen. Don Vaughan and other members of the Guilford County delegation helped push the bill through the General Assembly this summer. It increases the penalty for felony animal cruelty in the state to a Class H lev-

el felony, which will allow for jail time, even for first time offenders like the one who attacked Susie. A passer-by found Susie near death in Greenfield Park on Aug. 20, 2009 . She had been severely beaten, burned and was covered in maggots. Veternarians who examined her at the Guilford County Animal Shelter estimated she had been in that condition for two weeks. Susieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ears were singed off and much of her fur gone from the flames. She had a broken jaw and teeth were missing.

uestion: I was checking on my roses that are not yet blooming, only to find out the deer are mowing off the tops. But while looking at these plants, I noticed they were covered with a sticky material, and in some cases, it was turning black. I checked the roses, and there were no insects, but when I looked up, the tree hibiscus I have planted in the same area was covered with bumpy spots that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look like insects but do squish like insects. Help. I can not lose these trees. Answer: Sounds like a case of scale. Scales are serious pests of hundreds of woody plants, appearing as crusty bumps on bark and leaves and even the stems of the tender new growth. Soft scales excrete large quantities of undigested sap, called honeydew, as they feed on plant tissue. This honeydew is then the perfect media for a disease known as sooty mold. Get rid of the insects, and the black sooty mold will flake off rose leaves. Scales develop an external skeleton, that shell-like covering. This skeleton canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be removed without killing the insect. Depending on the species, female scales lay eggs or produce living young beneath their bodies If the trees are small enough, you could spray with an insecticidal soap or horticulture oil. These are an organic approach that will suffocate the insects. Repeat applications may be necessary, or a product like Orthene could be sprayed. If these trees are too large for you to tackle, consider hiring a certified arborist who would have access to several other products that could be used. MASTER GARDENERS will answer questions on horticultural topics. Contact Karen C. Neill, urban horticulture extension agent, at the N.C. Cooperative Extension, 3309 Burlington Road, Greensboro, NC 27405-7605, telephone (336) 375-5876, e-mail karen_neill@ ncsu.edu, on the Web at www. guilfordgardenanswers.org.

Blood pressure can drop too low

ear Dr. Donohue: Please address the subject of wildly fluctuating blood pressure readings. A couple of years ago, my 87-year-old father was taken off blood pressure medicines because his readings were OK. For the past year, he has had extremely low readings when he stands up. He has been to doctors and the emergency room on several occasions. At times, his pressure is quite high. He has been put on fludrocortisone for the low pressure. I have read about Shy-Drager syndrome and wonder if he might have it. Please give your advice on his low blood pressure. – P.M.

BLONDIE

B.C.

When people stand, their bodies have to make quick adjustments, because blood pools in the legs while they sit. As much as a pint to a quart of blood is taken out of circulation. Blood pressure drops. Reflexes save the day. They get the heart beating faster, and they make arteries constrict. Blood pressure returns to normal promptly. In older people, those reflexes don’t work. Their pressure drops when they rise from sitting or lying, and it stays low. They become dizzy and might even faint. Before your father changes position, he must tense and relax his leg muscles for a couple of minutes. This muscle action pumps blood out of his legs. It doesn’t pool in them when he rises. After he’s standing up, have him cross one leg over the other. That keeps

pressure up, too. He ought to get some custom-fitted elastic stockings. They preHEALTH vent blood from poolDr. Paul ing. If he Donohue can handle ■■■ it, have him drink two glasses of water in three to four minutes before rising. That keeps pressure up for about 20 minutes. His medicine helps him retain salt and water, and that keeps pressure up. If he has trouble on rising out of bed in the morning, place 6-inch blocks under the posts at the head of his bed. I don’t know if he’s taking medicine for high blood pressure. If his pressure stays high at other times, he needs them. Shy-Drager syndrome is now called multiple system atrophy. It’s due to a malfunction of the autonomic nervous system, the part of the nervous system over which we have little control. It has a role in maintaining normal blood pressure. This syndrome usually strikes at an age younger than your father’s and is often associated with symptoms that look like those of Parkinson’s disease. Although fluctuating blood pressure is one of its signs, I don’t think your dad has it. Dear Dr. Donohue: You and others have written about the many health advantages from drinking coffee. This

is pleasant to learn, although somewhat surprising. About a year ago, I read that research had shown a significant difference in the numbers of colon cancer patients, with coffee drinkers having more cases of cancer than those who consumed decaffeinated coffee. Is this true? – A.R. You mean it’s surprising to hear medical people say that something enjoyable is good for you? The latest information I have on coffee says: “There is no evidence that caffeinated coffee increases the risk for any cancer.” This study said nothing about decaf. I take it that it, too, is free of any association with cancer. Dear Dr. Donohue: Skin tags! What are they? How do you get them? How can you get rid of them? How do you stop from getting them in the first place? – M.C. Skin tags are outgrowths of the skin. Older people get them. Someone has called them the adornments of aging. At least a quarter of older people have them. No one knows the cause, other than aging. A doctor can snip them off, freeze them or dry them up with an electric current. They appear mostly on the neck, under the arms, beneath the breasts and in the groin. They’re not a sign of illness. They aren’t and don’t become cancer.

What took so long? “I luxuriously get to pick and choose how much I want to work and how much I want to be mom,” McLachlan said. “I just don’t want to miss any of it. So, I made a choice to just kind of put my career, not on hold, but just pick and choose what I do and be a mom for the most part. I really love having that time with them.” The album’s first single is an upbeat pop confection, “Loving You is Easy.” “It’s light and fun and sort of a departure for me from a lot of my older material,” McLachlan noted. “I really wanted to show that there was growth and change in me.” In that seven-year period, McLachlan, 42, gave birth to a second daughter, Taja Summer (joining older sister India Ann Sushil), and divorced husband Ashwin Sood – life changes that helped shape the new album’s content.

“I think all my albums are sort of emotional postcards of where I am in my life and this last year has been a total emotional rollercoaster for me,” McLachlan commented. “It’s been extremely cathartic, as it always is for me to write some of these emotions out and sing these songs.” She’ll be singing many of those songs live for concert audiences this summer, as she reunites with principals from past Lilith Fair festivals for a tour that also includes additional talent. “I am very excited about it,” McLachlan said. “We have a fantastic line-up this year. Obviously, for me, it is a great vehicle for me to get my record out there. It is the only time I get to be touring for the most part because I have a kid in school and I really want to let her have a normal life.” And yet McLachlan knows she owes some of that normalcy to her legion of fans. “Something I have done has touched other people that I don’t even know,” she said. “That is kind of powerful. And we all need that sense of connectedness in this world, especially these days.”

Detroit, get ready for your close-up. ABC is readying a new fall drama – called “Detroit 1-8-7” – that isn’t just using the city’s name, but is filming much of the series in the Motor City. “Detroit 1-8-7,” which is based around the lives of officers in a Detroit homicide unit, will be the first prime-time network series to be shot in the city, the Detroit Free Press reported. “We want people to fall in love with this show and its characters and come back and visit Detroit every week,” executive producer and creator Jason Richman told the newspaper in a story published Thursday. The pilot was filmed in Atlanta over the winter, but executive producer David Zabel said a studio and sets for “Detroit 1-8-7” are being constructed in Highland Park and that filming there will get going in mid-July. Zabel said it’s important that a symbiotic relationship exist between the show and the community. He said ABC allocated a budget that will inject more than $25 million into the local economy through production costs for the show’s first 12 episodes. Then there’s the issue of perception. Producers say the show won’t capitalize on Detroit’s sometimes notorious reputation for violence. “We have a little bit of a larger responsibility than other new crime shows,” Zabel said. “There’s a sense that this show is going to really affect the way people perceive Detroit. We’re excited by that. We think we’re going to be good for the city and that Detroit’s going to be good for us.” Detroit Mayor Dave Bing and his staff have met with the producers and say they are comfortable with their commitment to accurately portraying the city.

In the IMP Pairs at the ACBL Spring Championships, East was expert Marty Hirschman. Against four hearts, the defense was headed for trouble when West led a spade. South played dummy’s ten, ruffed Hirschman’s king and was looking at two spade winners in dummy – if he could only get there. At Trick Two he tempted Hirschman by leading the queen of hearts. If East wins and exits with, say, a trump, South takes the nine, throws diamonds on the A-Q of spades, leads a club to his king and runs the trumps. With three tricks left, East has no winning defense: He must bare a minor-suit ace and is end-played with it to give South a trick in the other minor.

COUNTER But Hirschman wouldn’t yield: He let the queen of trumps win! South next took the ace and ran some trumps, but the defense could counter any play he tried. South did well to go down only one. South might have thrown a diamond on the ace of spades at Trick One and led the nine of

HOROSCOPE

Thursday, June 24, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Sherry Stringfield, 43; Jeff Beck, 66; Mick Fleetwood, 68; Michele Lee, 68 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Mentally, physically and emotionally you can make your life better with some overdue alterations this year. Your looks and attitude will bring you good fortune professionally and financially. A change at home will be favorable thanks to your outlook and how well you get along with a partner. Your numbers are 2, 9, 14, 21, 27, 34, 47 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Distance yourself from any personal problems you’ve been facing. Time and space will give you room to decipher what’s actually going on and what you can do to alleviate stress. An opportunity to make more money may be possible. ★★★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Speak passionately about your dreams, hopes, wishes and expectations. You may not like the response you get. That will be your indicator to make a move or take a pass. You’ve got lots to offer; you just have to find the right fit. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t fall for emotional manipulation. If you don’t like something, speak up regardless of the consequences. An idea you have can turn into a moneymaker. Refuse to take on a burden that doesn’t belong to you. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Get involved in activities, projects or groups that allow you to use your creativity and express your opinions and ideas. A change regarding your profession may be enticing but probably not what you need to make life better. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Putting blame on someone or complaining won’t fix matters. Sort through whatever is going on around you and you will be the one everyone looks up to, confides in and listens to. Love is in the stars. ★★★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You can accomplish a great deal if you don’t overload your plate. Consistency, practicality and hard work will play an important role in the results you get personally and financially. A romantic commitment will alter your future. ★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You will be better off spending time with colleagues or peers who understand and respect what you are working toward. Personal relationships will be difficult, if you’re saddled with responsibilities that don’t belong to you. A new friendship will inspire and motivate you. ★★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Finish what you start if you want to be taken seriously. Avoid making last-minute changes. Less will be more if done well. Trust in your talent and skills. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Money is heading your way and legal and financial concerns can be taken care of if you stick to your original strategy and maintain consistency. Travel plans may result in delays, problems with authority or confusion concerning directions. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Avoid dealing with indecisive people. Approach only those who instantly see what you are doing and want to join in. You have the energy, knowledge and the determination to accomplish whatever you set your mind to. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Look within and you will find the answers you are searching for. It’s up to you to make whatever changes are required to improve your lifestyle. Show strength and determination and do not allow emotional relationships to delegate your path. ★★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You cannot let anyone bully you or push you in a direction that you don’t feel good about. Problems with co-workers and family members will develop but, before you react, calm down and think about what you want to accomplish. ★★

Lee plays Southern-fried cop in ‘Memphis Beat’ FRAZIER MOORE AP TELEVISION WRITER

EW YORK – When Jason Lee was approached for “Memphis Beat,” he didn’t hesitate. “My first thought was, ‘Hell, no! It’s a big workload.’ ” He’d learned his lesson after four seasons headlining the comedy “My Name Is Earl,” and responded, “I don’t think so.” He had another, maybe less expected qualm: The show would be shot on video. “I’m not much of a fan of video over film, so I almost pulled the plug entirely,” he says, though adding hastily, “They’re making it look good.” High praise indeed for a guy who describes himself as a “die-hard photographer who only shoots film” and “will never switch to digital.” And he’s right about “Memphis Beat,” which premiered at 10 p.m. Tuesday on TNT. It has a rich, vibrant look as

it chronicles the hectic life of Dwight Hendricks (Lee), a Memphis police detective who loves his city, his job, his mother and the blues (not necessarily in that order). Lee’s co-stars include Alfre Woodard as Dwight’s take-no-guff lieutenant, Celia Weston as his vivacious mom and Sam Hennings as Charlie “Whitehead” White, his partner. For some sort of business reasons, “Memphis Beat,” ironically, is shot not in Memphis but New Orleans. “But you GOT to have Dwight and Whitehead walking down Beale Street in Memphis,” Lee says, “so we’re going to sneak up to Memphis as often as possible to shoot the real stuff. Meanwhile, they’ve been doubling Memphis with New Orleans pretty well.” Despite his many films, Lee remains best-known from TV as Earl Hickey, the dimwitted bornagain Samaritan who set out to right a list of wrongs for the sake of

Jason Lee stars as Dwight Hendricks, a Memphis police detective, and Alfre Woodard stars as Celia Weston in “Memphis Beat,” “karma stuff” with a $100,000 lottery prize. He worked long days on “My Name Is Earl,” but says the character was easy to play. Dwight Hendricks poses more of a challenge – and not just because he’s shorn of Earl’s goofy, scene-stealing ‘stache. “To me, Dwight’s got a certain presence to him,”

Lee says, “and I have a need to do justice to that presence, that energy, so I can walk away from a scene feeling that it was Dwight – and not me playing Dwight. “I mean, this man’s got the weight of protecting Memphis on his shoulders, his mom that he’s always dealing with, an ex-wife and his own personal demons. When

I took on this role, I thought, ‘Oh, man, after Earl, this is going to require a lot more thinking.’” Now 40, Lee was born in Orange County, Calif., where, as a child, he began perfecting his skills as a skateboarder. Active on the professional circuit for more than a decade (he retired in 1996), he landed a role in a music video, which led to movie work, including Kevin Smith’s “Mall Rats,” Cameron Crowe’s “Almost Famous” and Tony Scott’s “Enemy of the State.” These days, he describes acting as an enterprise not unlike a skateboarding move. “When you get a scene figured out and it feels right, and then you’re done with it, it’s like when you land a perfect trick,” he explains. “Awesome!” As he singles out the things that make him happy in life, he returns to photography. No digital media. Just the pleasure of emulsion,

whose adherents tout its satisfying tactile, handson quality and what they insist is higher image resolution. “I’ll be an old man still shooting film,” Lee vows “I shoot in every format. Super 8. 16mm Bolexes. Polaroids. I ride my bike around New Orleans with my little point-andshoot Leica. And I’ve got my 8-by-10 camera and the big tripod and the dark cloth over my head shooting landscapes.” He was hooked about a decade ago, he says, and pored over how-to books and websites. When “Memphis Beat” wraps in July, he’s got a road trip in his RV planned to photograph his way back home to L.A. “I’m all crazy into photography, man,” he says with a laugh. Granted, other things do come first: “My kids, skateboarding, photogra phy, acting – that would be my order.” Then he pauses to rethink his ranking: “Well, maybe photography and acting are tied.”

ABC series catches remarkable transplant story a quarter of the news divisionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s staff because of the economy, and leaving in doubt how many such ambitious projects are in its future. It took all that time, and

a serious stroke of luck, for ABC to get what it did. Wrongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team had gone into the home of Helfgot and his family to show what their lives were like as the Hollywood market-

ing executive waited for a heart transplant. A donor heart was found but the transplant was unsuccessful. Helfgot died.

Donovan’s goal saves U.S. PRETORIA, South Africa (AP) – Over and over, everything seemed to go against them. A referee took away a win last week, and a linesman disallowed another goal Wednesday. Now there was just 31⁄2 minutes left in their World Cup until all the doubts about American soccer would rise again. But then, in one of the most stunning turnarounds in World Cup history, Landon Donovan scored on a lightning fast counterattack 45 seconds into 4 minutes of injury time. With the most amazing

American fans rejoice; other teams reach knockout round. 4D late-game moment in American soccer, the United States beat Algeria 1-0 and reached the World Cup’s second round. “This team embodies what the American spirit is about,” Donovan said. “We had a goal disallowed the other night, We had another good goal disallowed to-

night. But we just keep going. And I think that’s what people admire so much about Americans. And I’m damn proud.” Former President Bill Clinton lingered in the locker room for 45 minutes after the game to congratulate the players. When Donovan scored, raucous cheers erupted on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange and even in White House auditoriums in Washington, D.C.. “That’s probably going to capture more people’s attention than if we won the game 3-0 and it was

easy,” American goalkeeper Tim Howard said. “That emotion, that passion is what American sports fans thrive on.” The United States won its first World Cup match in eight years and finished atop its first-round group for the first time since the original World Cup in 1930. The Americans play Ghana on Saturday night in Rustenburg for a spot in the quarterfinals. Ghana won the final match of the opening round against the Americans to knock them out of the tournament in Germany four years ago.

Simson owns HOF lead T

he oppressive heat got the players’ attention early and often Wednesday at High Point Country Club’s Willow Creek course. “I surrender already,” one golfer said to another outside the clubhouse. “Is it gonna be cooler later?” asked another participant at the National Senior Amateur Hall of Fame tournament. “Yeah, get your windbreaker for the back nine,” joked one of the volunteers. Rain gear might have come in handy later in the day, as the afternoon threesomes endured pop-up showers for about 30 minutes that only led to steamier conditions and slower play. These guys, after all, are some of the best amateur golfers in the world – but they’re still 55 and up, and facing the same challenges that come with advancing years. “I hope I come out here a little less stiff tomorrow,” said Paul Simson, who then paused and laughed. “Common complaint – beware the hurt golfer!” Simson went out Wednesday in the second group off the 10th tee and gave everybody else in the field a low number to try to match. The 2008 champion, playing with 2005 winner Larry Clark and Willow Creek member Mike Bivins, shot a 3-under-par 69 and enters today’s second round alone in first place. The Raleigh resident, inducted earlier this year into the N.C. Sports Hall of Fame for his impressive golfing credentials, carded birdies on the second, seventh, 16th and 17th holes. The only hiccup of his round came on the par-5 10th. “It felt pretty good,” Simson said. “The course is in wonderful shape, they’ve got a good field this year. I’ve been playing pretty solid and I have every intention to have it continue.” As well as Simson played, the shot of the day for the tournament came from

elsewhere in the pairing. Clark closed his round at No. 9 by holing out from the middle of the fairway. SPORTS Remarkably, there was no Steve reaction after Hanf he hit his 9■■■ iron from 145 yards out because the players couldn’t see the cup. His eagle gave him a 74. Bivins also played well, mixing four birdies and three bogeys for a 1-under 71 that left him tied for second place with Tom Humphery, Chip Lutz and A.B. Sisco. After volunteering at the event in the past, he finally got to play after turning 55 this year. “Senior golf is a lot of fun,” Bivins said. “A lot of good players. They’ve been around – they have a lot of good stories, a lot of aches and pains. “Of course I love playing here, and there’s a little advantage,” he added of his strong start. “You want to play good for the club, too.” The 27th annual tournament with a strong national reputation has had few local winners: Tommy Langley, competing this year in the Super Seniors’ 65-and-over division, won in 1990 and 1991 and took the Super Senior in 2005. While Bivins leads the contingent of locals, others chasing Simson include Tom Grady, Joe Hackler, Phil Pavoni, Gene Ryzewicz and defending champion Ted Smith at even-par 72. Spencer Sappington, winner of the 2001 main event, sparkled in Super Seniors with a 71. That was good for a two-shot lead over Gary Shimmin and Skip Snow. After today’s second round, the field will be cut to the top 50 seniors and top 20 Super Seniors for Friday’s finale. shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

Former NASCAR champion Bobby Labonte terminated his contract with TRG Motorsports on Wednesday and quickly landed two parttime rides. Robby Gordon said Labonte will drive his No. 7 Toyota this weekend in New Hampshire and Phoenix Racing said he will pilot the James Finchowned car at Daytona and Chicago next month. Labonte said he is exploring his opportunities for the remainder of this season in all three of NASCAR’s national series. “I want to be in a position to win races and be competitive,” said Labonte, who had a season-high finish of 21st in 16 races with TRG. “I have worked as hard as possible to give my best at the track so far this season. I’m now looking to move on and get back into a position to win races.”

HIT AND RUN on’t look now, but the Atlanta Braves could be headed for a special season. Sure, it’s only June. But so far, the Braves are making all the right moves in a season that features so many compelling storylines: •Manager Bobby Cox and closer Billy Wagner have announced plans to retire after the season, while Chipper Jones has talked retirement as well. •Rookie outfielder Jason Heyward has wasted no time emerging as a breakout star. But put those stories on the backburner

WHO’S NEWS

for awhile. Atlanta’s last at-bat magic is fast becoming the stuff of legend. The National League East-leading Bravos entered their series against the Chicago White Sox with an amazing 14 victories in their final turn at bat this year. And it’s truly been a total team effort. Heyward, Jones, Omar Infante, Melky Cabrera, Brooks Conrad, Brian McCann, Troy Glaus, Nate McLouth, Matt Diaz, Martin Prado and Eric Hinske each have delivered at least one game-winning hit in the Braves’ final turn at bat.

Talk about balance. I think the only Braves without a late-inning game-winning hit this season are Rico Carty, Rowland Office and Biff Pocoroba. Barring a rash of injuries and/or a total collapse by the pitching staff, look for the Braves to stay in the playoff hunt for the long haul. It should be an exciting road to October. It certainly has been a remarkable ride to July.

Andrew Brown held the HiToms hitless over the final 22⁄3 innings as Forest City fell to 16-8 for the season. The HiToms (7-17) finish their three-game road trip tonight at Asheboro before playing host to Martinsville in the final home game of the first half Friday at Finch Field.

Heels unsure of draft luck BY BRIANA GORMAN ENTERPRISE DURHAM BUREAU

CHAPEL HILL – When former North Carolina player Marcus Ginyard sits down today at his brother’s house in Maryland to watch the NBA draft, he knows his will not be one of the 60 called. But Ginyard, who earned the reputation as a defensive specialist after five seasons in Chapel Hill, still plans on watching the draft in support of former teammates Ed Davis and Deon Thompson. Davis is likely to be UNC’s fourth top-10 pick since 2005 – multiple mock drafts have him going to Detroit at No. 7. Thompson, who is not listed on any mock drafts, has an outside shot of getting drafted late in the second round. But Ginyard also has personal motives for watching the broadcast. Even though he knows his name won’t be called, he’ll be keeping an eye on what moves each team makes in hopes of landing on a summer league squad. “It’s still a big thing to figure out what teams are going to be doing with the rosters and where I might fit in on one of them,” Ginyard said. Ginyard had just one workout – with the Charlotte Bobcats on Friday – before the draft and is realistic about what the future holds for him. His dream is to play in the NBA, but he also knows he might have to take an indirect route to get there. For now, Ginyard is focused on making a summer league team but said playing overseas also is an option. He said he has sent tapes to some Europe-

an clubs, but now he’s just waiting to see what happens. “I think that the biggest focus for me is just continuing to stay determined and continuing to stay focused, to be ready for any opportunity that does come up,” said Ginyard, who spent the week helping out at UNC’s basketball camp. “Not to get my head down, being worried about going here or there, but just be ready to perform when I do get a chance to go somewhere.” Thompson’s name may not appear on any mock drafts, but the Tar Heels’ leading scorer (13.7 ppg) said anything can happen on draft night. Thompson has worked out with nine or 10 teams – including the Charlotte Bobcats, Milwaukee Bucks, Houston Rockets and Detroit Pistons – and has felt confident about all his workouts. “I get a feeling that most teams like me, but you just never really truly know until the day,” said Thompson, who remained in Chapel Hill after school ended to train with the UNC coaching staff. “I feel good about what I’ve done up until this point.” Thompson, who stands at 6-foot-9 and 245 pounds, said he thinks he has the size and ability to play in the NBA. Like Ginyard, Thompson said he will try to get on a summer league roster if he doesn’t hear his name tonight. “It’s all about finding that right fit, the right team, that right situation,” said Thompson, who plans on watching the draft with his family back home in Torrance, Calif. bgorman@heraldsun.com | 919-419-6668 AP

Thibodeau in place for draft DEERFIELD, Ill. (AP) – Tom Thibodeau saw a promising team with plenty of salary-cap space and figured this was his chance. Now, the long wait is over. The Bulls made it official Wednesday, introducing Thibodeau as their 18th head coach at a news conference 18 days after he accepted a $6.5 million deal that’s guaranteed for two years with a club option for a third. Thibodeau called it a “dream come true” after spending 20 years as an NBA assistant, the past three in Boston as Doc Rivers’ associate head coach. The mastermind behind a dominant defense, he helped the Celtics win the championship in 2008 and get back to the finals this year. Now, after working with Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen, Thibodeau takes over a team that boasts one of the game’s best young point guards in Derrick Rose and enough salary room to offer a maximum contract

in a star-filled free-agent market. And after back-to-back 41-win seasons – and first-round playoff exits – the Bulls are looking to make a big splash. “There’s a lot to sell here, obviously – the rich tradition of this organization, great city, a great young nucleus to build around,” Thibodeau said. “There’s so much to offer. I can’t imagine why any free agent wouldn’t seriously consider this team.” Hear that, LeBron James? What about you, Dwyane Wade? And Chris Bosh? The free agent negotiating period starts July 1 and the Bulls figure to be major players. Hiring Thibodeau to replace the fired Vinny Del Negro was an important preliminary step, as is the draft tonight. The Bulls hold the 17th pick, and general manager Gar Forman said they plan to use it “unless we package that with something we feel is pretty significant.”

Sedin takes NHL MVP honors from Ovechkin LAS VEGAS (AP) – Henrik Sedin wrecked Alex Ovechkin’s bid for an NHL MVP three-peat. The Vancouver Canucks star, who had a league-best 83 assists, captured the Hart Trophy on Wednesday during the NHL’s awards ceremony in Las Vegas. Ovechkin, the captain of the Washington Capitals, had to settle for runner-up status after taking home the prize each of the last two years. Sedin received 46 firstplace votes, Ovechkin was second with 40, and Pittsburgh’s Sidney Crosby finished third with 20. Ovechkin was honored earlier in the night by his fellow players, winning the award for top player

that is presented by the NHL Players’ Association. Buffalo Sabres defenseman Tyler Myers won the Calder Trophy as rookie of the year. Dave Tippett of Phoenix won the Jack Adams Award as the NHL’s most outstanding coach. Duncan Keith of the Blackhawks won the Norris Trophy as hockey’s top defenseman, and Detroit Red Wings center Pavel Datsyuk won the Frank J. Selke Trophy as the NHL’s top defensive forward for the third straight year. Tampa forward Martin St. Louis won the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy as the most well-behaved player, recording 12 penalty minutes all season.

WOMEN’S PUBLINX

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) – Qualifying medallist Ariya Jutanugarn easily advanced to the second round of the U.S. Women’s Amateur Public Links Championship, beating Canada’s Augusta James 7 and 6 on Wednesday. The 14-year-old Jutanugarn, from Thailand, is trying to become to the second-youngest winner in tournament history behind Michelle Wie (13 in 2003). Jutanugarn finished her match before rain delayed play at Notre Dame’s Warren Golf Course for three hours. In the second round this morning, she will face Karen Chung of Livingston, N.J., a 4-and-2 winner over Grace Na of Oakland.

Nationals starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg (37) delivers against the Kansas City Royals during Wednesday’s game in Washington. He suffered his first career defeat.

Strasburg gets record – and loss THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON – Stephen Strasburg set another strikeout record and also suffered his first major league defeat. The hard-throwing right-hander struck out nine and allowed one run over six innings in his fourth start, but Washington lost 1-0 to Kansas City on Wednesday. On the last better he faced, Strasburg (2-1) got his 41st strikeout. That broke a record held by Herb Score, who fanned 40 in his first four major league starts for Cleveland in 1955. For the third time in four starts, Strasburg did not walk a batter. He lowered his ERA to 1.78 but allowed nine hits. Brian Bannister (7-5) allowed five hits and walked two in six innings for the Royals, who snapped a five-game losing streak with the victory in the finale of their six-game trip.

CARDINALS 1, BLUE JAYS 0 TORONTO – Matt Holliday hit an RBI single off Kevin Gregg with two out in the ninth inning, handing a win to Chris Carpenter and the St. Louis Cardinals. Holliday came up with runners on the corners and lined a full-count pitch from Gregg into left field to give St. Louis the lead. Holliday’s homer streak ended at four games but the surging slugger had two hits and is 13-for-22 with 11 RBIs in his last five games.

METS 5, TIGERS 0 NEW YORK – R.A. Dickey pitched eight shutout innings and Jose Reyes homered to lead the Mets. Dickey (6-0) won for the sixth time in seven starts. The former power pitcher’s knuckleball appeared to come alive in the fifth inning, when he got the first of his four strikeouts. The Tigers lost for only third time in 11 games.

REDS 3, ATHLETICS 0 OAKLAND, Calif. – Johnny Cueto pitched shutout ball into the eighth inning, and Jay Bruce had a two-run single in his second straight three-hit game as Cincinnati swept the series. The Reds salvaged a .500 road trip after losing all three at Seattle over the weekend. Cueto (7-2) responded well after losing 1-0 to Cliff Lee and the Mariners on Friday at Safeco Field. Cueto allowed seven hits, struck out four and walked two in seven-plus innings. Francisco Cordero saved his second straight game – his 19th in 24 chances.

D’BACKS TO RETIRE GONZALEZ’S NO. 20 PHOENIX – The Arizona Diamondbacks will retire Luis Gonzalez’s No. 20, the first player to be so honored in the franchise’s 13-year history. Gonzalez, who played eight seasons for Arizona, is the franchise leader in virtually every offensive category, including games (1,194), hits (1,337), home runs (224) and RBIs (774). One of his shortest hits was his biggest: The ninthinning bloop single, off Mariano Rivera, that brought in the winning run against the New York Yankees in Game 7 of the 2001 World Series.

Clemson one win away from title series OMAHA, Neb. (AP) – Clemson took advantage of Oklahoma’s fourth-inning pitching meltdown and a costly error in the fifth to beat the Sooners 6-4 at the College World Series on Wednesday. Oklahoma scored each of the last three innings but couldn’t come all the

way back from the 6-1 deficit it faced when the game was suspended after the fifth inning Tuesday because of weather. The Tigers (45-23) move to the Bracket 2 championship game on Friday against either Oklahoma (50-17) or South Carolina. Those teams play today,

and the winner would have to beat Clemson twice to make it to next week’s best-of-three finals. Clemson starter Scott Weismann (9-2) allowed a run and three hits over five innings before the weather halted play Tuesday. The Sooners’ Bobby Shore (10-5) took the loss.

Isner, Mahut make history

Landon Donovan (center) celebrates after scoring a goal with fellow team members Benny Feilhaber (right) and Edson Buddle during the Americans’ World Cup match against Algeria at the Loftus Versfeld Stadium in Pretoria, South Africa, on Wednesday. Donovan’s goal in stoppage time gave the U.S. a 1-0 win.

Thrilling win unites U.S. fans THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

They might not all have known who Landon Donovan was before Wednesday, but that didn’t stop fans across the nation from celebrating one of the biggest victories in U.S. soccer history. Donovan’s decisive goal at the World Cup in South Africa united die-hard soccer supporters and casual observers, leaving both shouting, singing and sobbing tears of joy in bars, restaurants and office cubicles from coast to coast. One of them,, Carl Witkowski, declared that he has cried only three times in his life. “When I got married, when I saw my son was born,” said Witkowski, who wore his blue No. 17 Jozy Altidore jersey to watch the match at the Highbury Pub in Milwaukee. “And today.” The 1-0 victory over Algeria

saved the Americans from elimination and sent them into the second round for a game Saturday against Ghana. The goal led to an explosion of joy at places like the Highbury, a soccer-themed bar in Milwaukee’s Bay View neighborhood. “If you imagine an atom bomb dropping, imagine 30 of them going off at once in the 100-foot radius,” said Alan Bykowski, who was waiting outside the door when the bar opened at 5:30 a.m. “Except they’re atom bombs of joy!” Bobby Poursanidis, the director of the Fort Wayne (Ind.) Fever soccer club academy and a consultant to a soccer school run by Fort Wayne native and U.S. player DaMarcus Beasley, watched the game at J K O’Donnell’s bar. “It was absolutely awesome,” Poursanidis said. “You could see the anticipation of everybody, but as soon as the goal was scored, you

could hardly hear yourself.” Not everybody who wanted to watch was able to skip work, of course, leading to lost production akin to what happens in the U.S. during the NCAA men’s basketball tournament each March. Jayme Joers, a clerical assistant at a law firm in Cincinnati, had to make due with an Internet feed at her desk. Pushing the limits of the office’s business-casual policy, she wore her U.S. jersey and a blue headband to work while her “very understanding” co-workers even brought her some heartburn medicine. “I tried really hard to be quiet,” she said. “But as the game progressed, I couldn’t.” On a scale of 1 to 10, how excited is she about the win? “I’m like a ‘12,’ ” she said. “All I want to do is just run around and celebrate.”

Panthers sign Gamecocks’ sack specialist THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

THE FOOTBALL NOTEBOOK: CHARLOTTE – The Panthers have signed fourth-round pick Eric Norwood, whom Carolina expects be a pass-rushing specialist. Norwood is South Carolina’s career leader with 29 sacks. Coach John Fox has said he’ll use Norwood at linebacker in passing situations and on special teams. Wednesday’s signing puts seven of Carolina’s 10 draft picks under contract. Second-rounder Jimmy Clausen and third-round selections Brandon LaFell and Armanti Edwards remain unsigned. The Panthers report to training camp on July 28.

HAYNESWORTH SET FOR CAMP ASHBURN, Va. – Albert Haynesworth says he will be there when Washington opens training camp next month, despite an ongoing rift with management that has teammates calling him selfish.

“Despite my current differences with the Redskins, I have always planned to attend training camp and honor my contract,” Haynesworth said in a statement released Wednesday through his agent. The disgruntled two-time All Pro defensive tackle has stayed away from all offseason activities, including last week’s mandatory minicamp, because he is unhappy with the team’s switch to a 3-4 defense and wants to be traded. The Redskins offered him a chance to find another team – until he collected a $21 million bonus on April 1, the latest installment in the seven-year, $100 million contract he signed last year. “As I have previously said, I am continuing to prepare for the season individually and will report on time, in shape and ready to play football,” the statement said. “Any issues I have with the club I will discuss privately and therefore do not plan to make any further public comments about this matter.”

OU PRESIDENT SAYS SOONERS, A&M GOT INVITE FROM SEC ARDMORE, Okla. – The president of the University of Oklahoma said Wednesday that his school and Texas A&M both received invitations to join the Southeastern Conference during the last round of conference realignment. Although Oklahoma ended up remaining in the Big 12, university president David Boren said the Sooners had offers from both the SEC and the Pac-10. Boren spoke with reporters after a regents meeting for almost 40 minutes about the conference realignment process. “I’ll put it this way – we were well positioned for whatever worked out,” Boren said. Boren said the Pac-10 offer was for five Big 12 schools to join as a group. Boren said the SEC extended offers only to Oklahoma and Texas A&M, both of which opted to stay in a slimmed-down Big 12 after Colorado left for the Pac-10 and Nebraska left for the Big Ten.

WIMBLEDON, England (AP) – Even the scoreboard couldn’t keep up. The electronic sign keeping track courtside as the points passed and the game totals rose went blank while 23rd-seeded John Isner of Greensboro and qualifier Nicolas Mahut of France played – and played and played – the longest match in tennis history, until action was suspended because of darkness at 59-59 in the fifth set Wednesday night at Wimbledon. “Nothing like this will ever happen again. Ever,” Isner said in a courtside TV interview. The first-round match already had been suspended because of fading light Tuesday after the fourth set. They have been playing each other for nearly 10 hours – 7 hours, 6 minutes in the fifth set alone, enough to break the fullmatch record of 6:33, set at the 2004 French Open. Never before in the history of Wimbledon, which first was contested in 1877, had any match – singles or doubles, men or women – lasted more than 112 games, a mark set in 1969. Isner and Mahut have played more games than that in their fifth set, without a victor, although the American came close: He had four match points but Mahut saved each one. “He’s serving fantastic. I’m serving fantastic. That’s really all there is to it,” Isner said. “I’d like to see the stats and see what the ace count looks like for both of us.” Well, here they are: Isner has 98 aces, Mahut 95 – both eclipsing the previous high in a match at any tournament, 78. All the numbers are truly astounding: There have been 881 points, 612 in the fifth set. Isner has compiled 218 winners, Mahut 217. Isner has only 44 unforced errors, Mahut 37. And this cannot be emphasized enough: They are not finished. No one won yet. The match will continue into a third day, back at court 18 and not scheduled to resume until at least 10:30 a.m. EDT. “He’s just a champ. We’re just fighting like we never did before,” Mahut said. “Someone has to win, so we’ll come back tomorrow and see who is going to win the match.” At 58-all, more than 6 1/2 hours into Wednesday’s action, both players took a bathroom break – and, frankly, who could blame them? Not much later, shortly after 9 p.m., Ma-

hut and Isner approached the net to discuss with a Grand Slam supervisor, Soeren Friemel, whether to keep going Wednesday. “I want to play,” Mahut said, “but I can’t see.” Fans began chanting, “We want more! We want more!” Then they proposed an idea to organizers, screaming in unison, “Centre Court! Centre Court!” – the only stadium at the All England Club equipped with artificial lights, and therefore the only place play could continue at that hour. When Friemel decided they would stop at that moment and resume today, spectators saluted Isner and Mahut with a standing ovation. “I have almost no words anymore watching this. It’s beyond anything I’ve ever seen and could imagine. I don’t know how their bodies must feel the next day, the next week, the next month. This is incredible tennis,” 16-time Grand Slam champion Roger Federer said. “For them to serve the aces they served and stay there mentally is a heroic effort. As we know, we have no draws in tennis, so there will be a loser. But I guess in this match, both will be winners because this is just absolutely amazing.”

New-home sales plunge 33 percent WASHINGTON (AP) — Sales of new homes collapsed in May, sinking 33 percent to the lowest level on record as potential buyers stopped shopping for homes once they could no longer receive government tax credits. The bleak report from the Commerce Department on Wednesday is the latest sign of a precarious housing market that is struggling to recover and could weaken the broader economic recovery. It follows a disappointing report issued earlier in the week showing sales of previously occupied homes had dipped in May. Analysts linked the sudden drop in new-home sales to the expiration of federal

Mortgage application volume falls off NEW YORK (AP) — Mortgage applications volume dropped off by 5.9 percent last week even as mortgage rates decreased, a sign the housing market is struggling with government incentives, according to a report Wednesday from the Mortgage Bankers Association. Refinancing activity fell 7.3 percent on an adjusted basis during the week ending June 18, compared with the previous week.

Oil prices slide as stockpiles build NEW YORK (AP) — Oil prices dropped Wednesday after the government reported that crude supplies unexpectedly grew last week and remain well above typical levels. Benchmark crude for August delivery fell $2.09 to $75.76 on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract gained 76 cents to settle at $77.85 on Tuesday.

Rite Aid trims loss by reducing costs NEW YORK (AP) — Drugstore operator Rite Aid Corp. said Wednesday it reduced its losses in the fiscal first quarter as it cut spending. The Camp Hill, Pa., chain said it lost $73.7 million, or 9 cents per share, in the quarter ended May 29. That compares with $98.4 million, or 11 cents per share, a year ago. Revenue fell 2 percent to $6.39 billion from $6.53 billion as the company closed stores and dealt with a weak economy.

tax credits of up to $8,000. But double-digit unemployment and slow job growth have also weighed on the market, even with mortgage rates at near-historic lows. “We fear that the appetite to buy a home has disappeared alongside the tax credit,” Paul Dales, U.S. economist with Capital Economics,” wrote in a note to clients. “After all, unemployment remains high, job security is low and credit conditions are tight.” To sustain the economic rebound, the Federal Reserve is expected to leave interest rates at record lows and repeat a pledge to keep them there for a while. The Fed resumed its two-day

meeting Wednesday with policymakers having some cause for optimism as well as caution. Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke has expressed confidence that the nation won’t fall back into a “double dip” recession. At the same time, the recovery remains vulnerable to threats and chief among them is a fragile housing market. New-home sales fell in May from April to a seasonally adjusted annual sales pace of 300,000, the government said Wednesday. That was the slowest sales pace on records dating back to 1963. It also was the largest monthly drop on record. Sales have now sunk 78 percent from their peak in July 2005.

Fed cautious on US recovery WASHINGTON (AP) — The Federal Reserve struck a more cautious tone about the strength of the U.S. economic recovery, indicating Europe’s debt crisis poses a risk to it. Wrapping up a two-day meeting Wednesday, the Fed in a 9-1 decision retained its pledge to hold rates at record-low levels for an “extended period.” Doing so is intended to energize the rebound. The Fed expressed confidence that the recovery will stay intact despite threats from abroad and at home. But Chairman Ben Bernanke and his colleagues offered a slightly more reserved outlook than the last

time they convened. The Fed said the economic recovery is “proceeding.” That was a bit less upbeat than the view at the April meeting when the Fed said economic activity continued to “strengthen.” The Fed also said the labor market is “improving gradually.” While not mentioning Europe by name, the Fed said “financial conditions have become less supportive of economic growth ... largely reflecting developments abroad.” The fragile economic picture increases pressure on President Barack Obama and lawmakers in Washington.

CEO survey: Hiring forecast hits 3-year high NEW YORK (AP) — The number of CEOs planning to ramp up hiring is at the highest level since mid2007, according to a survey that suggests big U.S. companies are growing more confident about the economic recovery. The Business Roundtable, an association of CEOs of big U.S. companies, said Wednesday its survey shows 39 percent of chief executives expect to boost their payrolls in the second half of 2010. Only 17 percent say jobs will drop, while 43 percent expect no change in their current work force. The proportion of those planning to hire is at the highest level since the second quarter of 2007, when

it was at 42 percent. During the recession that began in December 2007, companies slashed their payrolls to cut costs as revenue tumbled. About 8 million jobs were lost. The unemployment rate peaked at 10.1 percent in October 2009, and was 9.7 percent in May. Companies are adding jobs as sales recover. Software maker Adobe Systems Inc. said Tuesday that it was once again hiring. The company cut 9 percent of its work force last November, or 680 jobs. But in the three months through May, it added 190 positions as revenue rose 34 percent. The CFO said Adobe would continue to hire more people.

Stocks fall on housing slump NEW YORK (AP) — The stock market closed with a slight loss Wednesday after sales of new homes hit a record low and the Federal Reserve indicated that problems in Europe pose a threat to the U.S. economy. The Dow Jones industrial average rose about 5 points, but broader indexes fell and losing stocks outnumbered advancers on the New York Stock Exchange. Treasury prices rose, pushing down interest rates. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note fell to its lowest level in more than a year. Stocks fell early in the day after the government said new home sales dropped by a third to a record low last month. Sales fell to a seasonally adjusted annual pace of 300,000. Economists polled by Thomson Reuters had forecast sales would drop to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 410,000. The Dow lost as much as 66 points after the housing numbers came out. On Tuesday, an unexpected slide in sales of existing homes also hurt stocks. Existing homes make up a far bigger part of the market than new homes but traders were braced for more bad news Wednesday. The Dow closed with a gain of 4.92, or 0.1 percent, to 10,298.44 after being up nearly 75 points in afternoon trading. The index lost 149 points Tuesday after the home sales report. The broader Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell 3.27.

BRIEFS

Europe hopes to restore confidence BRUSSELS (AP) – The European Union called Wednesday on leaders from the Group of 20 rich and emerging nations to restore confidence in the global economy by agreeing on when to withdraw stimulus measures that are supporting economic growth. In a letter to G-20 leaders, the EU also pushed for a global financial transaction tax and levies and taxes on financial institutions worldwide to help pay the costs of unwinding or bailing out banks at risk of collapse. European governments’ moves to cut public debt sharply have raised alarm in the United States and other nations that prioritize stimulus spending to keep economic growth afloat. Herman Van Rompuy, who leads talks between the EU’s 27 governments, told

the European Parliament in Brussels that Europe sees its austerity programs as essential to curb a damaging debt crisis that has already caused the euro to shed some 20 percent of its value against the U.S. dollar. “Failure to correct unsustainable deficits would ultimately lead to a fatal loss of credibility and confidence with lasting economic damage,” he warned. “Provided we persevere, I have every confidence that Europe will turn the corner.” All EU nations are aiming to start debt reduction efforts next year – even countries like Germany, the region’s economic powerhouse, which is not facing a major debt problem, triggering worries that European austerity could go to far and hold back an economic recovery.

GM seeks financing for subprime buyers DETROIT (AP) – General Motors Co. says it is working with banks and other financial institutions so it can sell and lease more cars to buyers with poor credit. The talks lessen the likelihood of GM trying to buy the auto finance business from Ally Financial, its main lender. They also make it less likely that GM would start its own auto financing unit.

GM considered both options earlier in the year because Ally was reluctant to fund loan and lease deals to buyers with subprime credit. About 16 percent of all loans for new cars and trucks go to subprime buyers. GM recently has been unable to tap that market. Spokeswoman Renee Rashid-Merem says GM’s current strategies are working because sales are growing.

CarMax income jumps RICHMOND, Va. (AP) – Used car dealership chain CarMax Inc. said Wednesday its net income more than tripled in the fiscal first quarter because it sold more vehicles as the industry slowly recovers from the worst U.S. auto sales market in decades. The results beat Wall Street expectations, and its shares rose $1.74, or 8.7 percent, to $21.74 in morning trading after climbing more than 10 percent earlier in the session. CEO Tom Folliard said customer traffic is gradually improving but noted sales remain “well below” pre-recession levels. The Richmond company, which will join the Stan-

dard & Poor’s 500 after the market closes Friday, said its net income climbed to $101.1 million, or 44 cents per share, in the three months ended May 31, up from $28.7 million, or 13 cents per share, a year ago. Excluding a benefit related to lower-than-expected loan losses, its adjusted earnings totaled 41 cents per share, topping analysts’ estimates for earnings of 33 cents per share. CarMax, which operates more than 100 stores, said its revenue rose 23 percent to $2.26 billion from $1.83 billion in the year-ago period, while revenue at stores open at least a year rose 9 percent. Analyst polled by Thomson Reuters on av-

erage expected revenue of $2.09 billion. Used vehicle sales rose about 9 percent as the company’s average selling price rose about 9 percent. CarMax said its gross profit per used vehicle sold increased 10.5 percent to $2,212 and total gross profit increased 21 percent primarily because it sold more cars. It also has lowered its reconditioning costs. CarMax’s auto financing arm reported income of $57.5 million compared with a loss of $21.6 million a year ago. In the year-ago period, it saw adjustments related to loans that originated in prior fiscal years, mainly projected losses on defaulted loans.

BRUSSELS (AP) — The European Union has fined bathroom supplier Ideal Standard euro326 million ($400 million) for secret deals with 16 other companies to fix prices for sinks, baths, taps and fittings in six European countries. The EU’s executive commission said Wednesday that the cartel “harmed businesses such as builders and plumbers and ultimately, a large number of families” in Germany, Austria, Italy, Belgium, France and the Netherlands. The EU says 17 bathroom suppliers coordinated sales prices from 1992 to 2004 in hundreds of meetings of a trade association and in individual contacts between companies. They agreed to fix price increases, minimum prices and rebates.

House drops demand for liquidation fund WASHINGTON (AP) — House negotiators on legislation providing an overhaul of the financial system have agreed to drop their demand for a $150 billion fund to cover costs of liquidating large, failing institutions. Eliminating the fund was one of the central demands of key Senate Republicans, such as Sen. Olympia Snowe of Maine, to maintain support for the bill. The House version would have required large banks to pay a fee to finance the $150 billion liquidation pool. The Senate bill did not.
