increase in power bills.” But the extra cost may be worth it to those who are tired of fighting off the dog days of summer. “There’s a lot of interest in terms of trying to beat the heat these days,” Capes added.

TRIAD – Many farmers need rain soon to save some of their crops. High temperatures and the lack of rain have stunted the growth of some corn crops. Soybeans and tobacco also are under heat stress, Troy Coggins of the N.C. Cooperative Extension Service office in Davidson County, said Wednesday. June was the hottest on record at Piedmont Triad International Airport since 1928. There has been no rain so far in July. “We need some rain soon,” Coggins said. “Corn is starting to go to tassel to pollinate. Some of the corn has already burned out. Will it pollinate and will the kernels fill out in these conditions? It is hard to say how plump the kernels will be.” Statewide, 30 percent of corn is in poor or very poor condition, according to state reports, and 27 percent of pasture in is the same condition. Most soybean plants are not yet mature. “And many of them have shut down, because of the heat,” Coggins said. “Once they get to blooming, the blooms can fall off the plant if it stays above 94 degrees.” Tobacco tolerates heat well. Only 16 percent of fluecured tobacco is in poor to very poor condition. But many plants also are approaching the flowering stage when growers consider topping. “It is a critical time for topping. We are telling growers to top the plants if they are ready,” Coggins said. “After topping, moisture goes to the leaves.” Farmers also are watching the forecasts to see if they will need to irrigate, Coggins said, something many farmers have not had to do for several years. Overall, 64 percent of soil in the Piedmont is either short or very short of moisture, according to reports. “This could be the start of a drought, if the weather does not turn around,” Coggins said. “The high temperatures take the moisture, but there is no rain to bring it back.”

Caterpillar’s effects could inch to High Point BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Forsyth County’s attempt to lure Caterpillar Inc. to build a manufacturing facility in Winston-Salem has been compared to similar attempts that lured Dell Inc. to the area in many ways. But one parallel that local officials find particularly important is that, like Dell, the project could employ those who live in High Point. Forsyth County and Winston-Salem have offered Caterpillar Inc. a

Winston-Salem and Forsyth County have pledged a total of $23.4 million in incentives to Caterpillar Inc. to bring a manufacturing plant to the area if the company meets performance criteria. The $426 million plant would create 392 full-time jobs or the equivalent of full-time jobs and would be built off Union Cross Road, next to the Dell Inc. site.

Heat wave has many in hot pursuit of cool relief

HIGH POINT – When it becomes too hot to venture out for an ice cream cone, you know the heat is starting to get to people. “We’ve actually seen less traffic,” said Brittany Ridge, a crew leader at Bruster’s Old-Fashioned Ice Cream and Yogurt near the Palladium Shopping Center. “I think people want to stay in the air conditioning. When it gets into the 90s, we usually lose some people.” Today’s high is expected to reach 98 degrees. Ridge refers to the summer heat wave that leaked into the Triad as the July Fourth holiday came to an end, and its effects are being seen across the community in varied ways. On the retail front, some people have remained locked inside their homes and away from stores while others have ventured out in search of cooling methods. It also has had some serious effects in terms of heat-related illnesses and rising utility bills. “Our shopper traffic has been very good,” said John Capes, store manager at Sears at Oak Hollow Mall, about the last week. “There have been a lot of people out, and sometimes it’s just cooler to walk around inside the store. We’ve sold more fans and new window (air conditioning) units this week.” The fans the store has sold no doubt will be used to keep peoples’ homes cooled – an important step in preventing health problems caused by extreme heat. Chad Campbell, public relations specialist for High Point Regional Health System, said the emergency department at the hospital had seen a spike of five heat-related illnesses this week.

$426 million manufacturing plant that would reportedly produce motorized parts and systems for heavy-equipment trucks. At least 392 full-time jobs would be added. “New jobs anywhere in our region is good news for High Pointers,” said Loren Hill, president of the High Point Economic Development Corp. “In this case, the site is less than five miles away from High Point with easy access along the U.S. 311 expressway.

for several reasons.” Forsyth County has received some criticism for offering another hefty incentives package to a company after Dell, which could have received up to $300 million in incentives over the life of the plan, announced last year that it was closing the plant.

Contested races shape up in city ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

TRIAD – High Point voters already are assured of several competitive races, with 15 candidates having cast their lot to run in this year’s municipal elections since the filing period opened Friday. Based on the filings and pledges by incumbents to seek re-election, competitive races have shaped up for mayor, the two seats for the at-large High Point City Council slots and contests in Wards 2, 5 and 6, according to Guilford County Board of Elections records. The candidate filing

period for the High Point and Archdale municipal elections continues through noon July 16. Voters in the two cities will go to the polls Nov. 2. The races are nonpartisan, meaning the party affiliation of the candidates won’t appear on the general election ballot. The two cities are the only municipalities among more than 500 in North Carolina that hold their municipal elections in even-numbered years. The change in the election cycle for High Point and Archdale was approved by the N.C. General Assembly four years ago.

Judge offers to help compel Edwards testimony HILLSBOROUGH (AP) – A North Carolina judge said Wednesday he was willing to order John Edwards to testify in a lawsuit about a sex tape involving the two-time presidential candidate. Robert Elliot, an attorney for former Edwards aide Andrew Young, said he has been unable to serve Edwards with a subpoena because he has been difficult to find. He asked the judge for help in getting Edwards’ deposition by the end of this month, saying he’d like the judge’s support if he can’t find the former North Carolina senator soon. “I’ll certainly sign an order to direct him to appear,” Judge Carl Fox said. A lawyer for Edwards’ mistress, Rielle Hunter, said they would like

time to make arguments b e f o r e the judge takes that step. A Edwards spokeswoman for Edwards, Joyce Fitzpatrick, declined immediate comment. Earlier, Hunter’s attorneys argued she should have some of the profits from Young’s tell-all book, saying she is entitled to an undisclosed amount of money because Young promoted it by talking about the sex tape. Hunter is suing to reclaim the video she made and believes the tape was taken from a box of her personal belongings. Young contends that the tape was found amid trash that Hunter left behind in a home that

he was renting, and his attorneys argued that the tape was a small part of his book. “Nobody’s making money on the

federal probe into his campaign finances. At Wednesday’s hearing, Young’s attorney questioned whether Hunter owned the tape or whether it belonged to the Edwards campaign. “What possible purpose would a campaign want – or desire – a sex tape of a candidate involved in a sex act?” the judge said. Elliot believes all video shot by Hunter belonged to the Edwards campaign or his political action committee. Hunter worked for Edwards’ political action committee in 2006, shooting behind-thescenes video as the Democrat prepared to launch his second White House campaign. Neither Hunter or Young were at the hearing.

efited from Dell would spring up in the surrounding area. Supporters have speculated the same with the Caterpillar Inc. project. The county is competing with Montgomery, Ala., and Spartanburg, S.C., for the plant. The two competitors haven’t disclosed incentive package details, and that may give them some advantage, said John Boyd, a principal with The Boyd Company, a Princeton, N.J.based site selection consultant group. “My hunch is that Spartanburg is the front runner, given the high

concentration of metalworking skills there,” Boyd said, noting the BMW plant in the city. Hill added that, in his experience, the amount of incentives a city offers isn’t always the deciding factor. “It all depends on the individual project,” he said. “Greensboro recently got a big data center from American Express with no incentives. That was a huge capital investment. Incentives are never the entire reason a company selects a place, but it could be one of many reasons.” phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

LOTTERY

NC lawmakers want to allow some coastal jetties RALEIGH (AP) – The North Carolina Senate is trying again to change 25 years of coastal rules and allow oceanside communities to build jetties. The state Senate voted 37-11 on Wednesday to change a bill extending the deadline for marinas to install equipment allowing

boats to empty their on-board sewage. The provision would give the Coastal Resources Commission the authority to allow construction of what’s called a terminal groin. The House hasn’t acted on a bill allowing the jetties installed in in-

lets since it passed the Senate last year. A terminal groin traps sand, keeping the shoreline intact and holding it out of the inlet. Environmentalists argue they steal the sand from coastline areas where it would collect and encourage risky waterfront construction.

NEWTON, Mass. (AP) – A custodian cleaning out lockers at a Massachusetts high school was so shocked when a 3-foot-long snake fell at his feet that he didn’t even think it was real. Ed Reardon tells The Daily News Tribune that at first he thought it was a change purse.

Then he thought it was a rubber snake. Then it coiled into attack mode. Reardon didn’t panic. He grabbed it behind the head as he had seen on nature TV shows. When he got off work at Newton North High School, he brought it to

a local pet store, where workers identified it as a ball python. Reardon thinks a student left the snake in the locker at the end of school as a prank. He found a notebook in the same locker with a student’s name on it, and turned it over to the principal.

Alcoa, free-press advocates cry foul as Senate sees film MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

RALEIGH â&#x20AC;&#x201C; State senators watched the rough edit of a documentary that linked the aluminum company Alcoa with the poisoning of its former workers, its neighbors and the environment as it sought to profit from hydroelectric production on the Yadkin River. UNC-TV gave the Senate committee unedited footage of 200 hours of tape in response to subpoenas. The committee action raised questions about the government requesting information from a newsgathering organization that is also part of a state agency. Free press advocates decried the subpoenas. The documentaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s narrator, Eszter Vajda of UNC-TV, drew connections between the Alcoa operation in Stanly County with

the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plants around the world. North Carolina is not the only place the company exhibited â&#x20AC;&#x153;a pattern of misbehavior,â&#x20AC;? she said in the documentaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s early minutes. After the viewing, an Alcoa executive rebutted the documentaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s claims, saying the company is proud of its environmental stewardship. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I clearly heard the assertion of environmental health violations and coverup,â&#x20AC;? said William Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Rourke, Alcoaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vice president of environment and sustainability. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell you the truth about our company or our environmental record.â&#x20AC;?

The company is seeking to renew its federal license to produce hydroelectric power on the Yadkin River. Perdue opposes the relicensing and wants the state to take over the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dams. She did not link the company to environmental or health problems in her interview with Vajda. It is unclear how the documentary will affect the legislatureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s view of relicensing, but it opened the company to a slew of questions about its lawsuit settlements, how it treated workers and its willingness to pay for environmental tests. Vajda said in a written statement that her managers told her that it did not have the resources to produce and air the documentary, so she worked on it for four months using her own equipment and on her own time.

Israel keeping flotilla ships until inquiry ends JERUSALEM â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Israel will hold on to the six ships from the international flotilla that sought to break Israelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blockade of the Gaza Strip at least until it completes its investigation into a deadly raid on one of the vessels, the Defense Ministry said Wednesday. Israel towed the boats to a northern port days after naval commandos stormed the ships, killing nine Turkish activists on board the lead vessel.

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A botched NATO airstrike killed five Afghan soldiers after they were mistaken for insurgents early Wednesday, highlighting continued weak coordination between international troops and the local security forces they are striving to build. An Afghan defense official condemned the â&#x20AC;&#x153;friendly fireâ&#x20AC;? deaths in the eastern province of Ghazni. They came as three more American troops were reported killed in the south and Britain announced it would turn over control of a violenceplagued southern district to U.S. forces. U.S. Gen. David Petraeus issued personal condolences to the families of the dead Afghan soldiers, a spokesman said.

The sentence in France, where Noriega was extradited 10 weeks ago, came on top of his two decades already spent in a U.S. prison.

The world body rejected the demand. The threats came a day after hundreds of demonstrators led by a government minister laid siege to the U.N. compound in Colombo, trapping workers inside for hours, and burned effigies of U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. AP

Church says Cuba offers to free 52 prisoners HAVANA â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Roman Catholic Church said Wednesday that Cubaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s communist government has agreed to free 52 political prisoners and allow them to leave the country in what would be the islandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest mass liberation of dissidents in decades. Five would be released in a matter of hours and planned to head into exile in Spain, while the remaining 47 would be liberated in â&#x20AC;&#x153;a process that will take three or four months starting now,â&#x20AC;? according to the statement by the office of Havanaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Roman Catholic Archbishop, Cardinal Jaime Ortega.

More than 50 dead in Baghdad attacks BAGHDAD (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Militants struck across the Iraqi capital Wednesday, killing more than 50 people, including 32 in a suicide bombing that targeted pilgrims commemorating a revered Shiite saint, Iraqi police said. The attacks â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the deadliest of which occurred in northern Baghdadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s predominantly Sunni neighborhood of Azamiyah â&#x20AC;&#x201C; offered a clear indication of the push by insurgents to exploit Iraqâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s political vacuum and destabilize the country as U.S. troops head home. Police said the bloody suicide bombing that killed 32 and wounded more than 90 people, split the hot Wednesday evening air as Shiite pilgrims were about to cross a bridge

leading to the a shrine in the Shiite Kazimiyah neighborhood where a revered imam is buried. A 30-year-old Sunni resident of Azamiyah said he was drinking tea and watching pilgrims walk by when he and his friends heard the blast. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We heard a big explosion and everybody rushed to the site to see bodies and hear wounded people, screaming for help,â&#x20AC;? Saif al-Azami told The Associated Press. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We helped carry the wounded to the hospital before the ambulances arrived,â&#x20AC;? he said, adding that some of his Sunni friends who were serving food and water to the Shiite pilgrims were killed and wounded in the attacks.

NUEVO LAREDO, Mexico â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Reservoirs along the U.S.-Mexico border rose to their highest levels in decades after days of drenching rain, forcing officials to close two border bridges Wednesday and evacuate tens of thousands from homes.

Bahamian police interviewed burglary victims while searching for Colton Harris-Moore on Great Abaco Island days after the fugitive who has been dubbed the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Barefoot Banditâ&#x20AC;? crash-landed the plane.

Coast Guard boats assisted by police and fire crews worked to rescue people from the water, he said.

The barge hit the boat and overturned it Wednesday afternoon, sending at least 37 people into the water and later sinking. Officials said they were still searching for a 16-year-old girl and a 20-year-old man. Coast Guard officials say that 35 passengers and two crew members were aboard and that two people are unaccounted for.

The decision to use a so-called recess appointment to install Berwick as administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services drew immediate fire from the GOP. Republicans have raised concerns about Berwickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s views on rationing of care and other matters and said it was wrong for Obama to go around the normal Senate confirmation process.

NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The 11 people accused of spying for Russia were formally charged in a federal indictment unsealed Wednesday, more than a week after the FBI announced their arrests. The indictment charged all the defendants with conspiring to act as secret agents and also charged nine of them with conspiracy to commit money laundering. And it demanded that those accused of money laundering return any assets used in the offense. The indictment, a charging document that can be used at trial, contains far fewer details of the alleged crimes than were inside two criminal complaints filed last week. The defendants were scheduled to be arraigned today on the indictment. Prosecutors released a copy of the indictment as federal judges in Boston and Alexandria, Va., signed orders directing that five defendants arrested in Massachusetts and Virginia be transferred to New York.

It clings to hate and fear like Linus clings to his security blanket. It spreads its message with absurdities like Obama is gay, evil, a secret Muslim, a secret terrorist, a socialist, a Nazi, not a U. S. citizen, etc. I used to vote for the candidate I considered most qualified, regardless of party. I voted for Ronald Reagan his first election, but against him the second time because he spent money recklessly when it wasn’t necessary. Now I won’t vote for a Republican ever again.

A QUICK THOUGHT

quick search for telephone numbers in the North State Communications directory reveals a trend: More cell phone numbers are showing up in the directory. That’s probably attributable to two things: 1. More people are willing to share their cell phone numbers. 2. More people are abandoning land-line phones and using only cells for their telephone service. Progress to some, end of an era for others.

Mel Gibson gives hate another stage, familiar face

pparently, Mel Gibson is a better actor than anyone knew. He got in touch with his feminine side in the movie “What Women Want,” directed by Nancy Meyers. But he hates women. He famously partnered with Danny Glover and lent his voice to a documentary celebrating African-American military history. But he hates black people. Or so you must conclude if you believe last week’s bombshell from Radar Online, a celebrity gossip website. It reported on July 1 that Gibson’s estranged girlfriend, Oksana Grigorieva, had taped him in the throes of a profanely and profoundly hateful rant. He reportedly called Grigorieva, with whom he has an infant daughter, a “whore,” a “bitch” and a particularly vulgar term for the female pudendum that begins with “c.” Then there is this pungent quote: “You look like a f----- pig in heat and if you get raped by a pack of n------ it will be your fault.” You may think the most damning word in that quote is the N-word. Actually, it’s just before that. After all, only animals hunt in packs. At this writing, it is nearly a week since the story broke and Gibson has yet to deny the authenticity of those words, even as he has come under fire from the NAACP, Gloria Allred and Jesse Jackson. If all this seems familiar, it is because Gibson made international headlines four years ago when, during a traffic stop for drunken driving, he exploded into a tirade against the “f------ Jews.” I slammed the actor as a bigot, drawing cries of protest from some readers. You shouldn’t be so hard on him, they said. The guy had been drinking. Stuff happens. I can only hope those readers are paying attention now. People tend to have this naive notion about hate. They think it’s something you can see at 20 paces, something obvious and over-thetop, like the Nazis that Jack Kirby drew for Marvel Comics; you always knew they were evil from their craggy teeth and bad skin. But hate looks like a grandmother baking cookies, a teacher standing in front of the class, a preacher opening his Bible. It looks like you or me, like anybody anywhere. The philosopher Hannah Arendt famously wrote of what she called the “banality of

evil.” Well, there is a banality to hatred, too. We are conditioned to expect a grand, operatic malevolence, but there is nothing grand about it. Hatred is ordinary, hatred is insipid, hatred is small and mean. It is a series of compromises made OPINION with conscience, an expedience that bypasses thought and Leonard compassion. Pitts It is a sickness and Gibson ■■■ apparently has it bad. I probably shouldn’t feel sorry for him, but I do. I want to be furious at him, but the only thing I feel is pity. If these accusations are true, he is a troubled and conflicted man. I hope he gets better soon. But solving the problem will require facing it. And who can say if he will? Consider that back in 2006, when his anti-Semitic outburst was in the headlines, the actor apologized profusely, then said: “Please know from my heart that I am not an anti-Semite. I am not a bigot.” It was an astonishing statement from a man who had just cursed the “f------ Jews” for causing all the wars in the world. There was in it an echo of the alcoholic in denial, refusing what everyone else knows to be selfevident. It will be interesting to see if Gibson is now done denying. Meanwhile, he has given us all a valuable object lesson. I’ve said this before and it bears repeating: if it is true that those of us who have been hated sometimes have a hair trigger that sees hatred everywhere, it is also true that many of our countrymen who lack that experience have a blind spot that keeps them from seeing it ANYWHERE, even when it is blazingly obvious. So Gibson’s travails remind us: hate isn’t always as obvious as a Jack Kirby Nazi. Sometimes, hate is handsome, familiar and beloved. Indeed, sometimes, hate looks like a movie star.

OUR VIEW

t was a good move by officials at Piedmont Triad International Airport to delay a few more weeks the Airport Authority’s action on PTIA’s master plan update. That gives High Point officials the chance to examine the growth plan more thoroughly. Released about five weeks ago, High Point officials said last week that they had not had sufficient time to review the plan, which looks about 40 years into the future in projecting growth at PTIA. A public hearing period to receive comments on the proposed plan ends next week, but airport officials have agreed to wait until August to consider adoption of the document. We expect PTIA officials and Airport Authority members are anxious to put this update process behind them, but we see little need to rush it through to approval. Nothing in the plan will come about for a while and, as we said in an editorial a few weeks ago, this plan will be an important guide for planning staff, elected officials, developers and the general public in High Point and Greensboro. This additional time for review and reflection on the plan also will be a good opportunity for High Point officials to formalize their concerns about how access to the airport would be impacted. Some city officials have expressed valid concerns that moving the route of N.C. 68 farther west in the future to accommodate a fourth runway could impact High Point area residents significantly and increase their driving time to the airport. As we all know, growth plans that look 40 years or so into the future can miss badly with their projections of growth and development and the timing of such. But the airport having this plan puts all city and county planners and developers on notice as to what the future might bring in areas they eye for development. It’s a necessary process for properly managing growth, and it wouldn’t hurt if the Airport Authority delayed its decision even a few more weeks to make sure the plan is solid.

COMMENTARY THE HIGH POINT ENTERPRISE THURSDAY, JULY 8, 2010 www.hpe.com

Controversy rages in Europe, but not U.S., over swine flu pandemic BY NEIL ALTMAN AND DAVID CROWDER SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

he scary news of a worldwide swine flu pandemic may have faded from the headlines and public awareness in the United States, but in Europe it is the subject of a scathing investigative report that points to influence by pharmaceutical companies. That report, which the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) overwhelmingly approved on June 24, in Strasbourg, France, questions why the World Health Organization WHO declared a pandemic at all and points to the influence of drug companies that made billions selling vaccines. Meanwhile, the controversy over the fizzled swine flu pandemic has gone largely unreported by the U.S. news media, and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t discuss the furor in Europe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By policy, we do not comment ... thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s their business, not ours,â&#x20AC;? CDC spokesman Jeffrey Dimond said. Accounts of the H1N1 flu outbreak in Mexico in the spring of 2009 alerted world health authorities to the possibility that millions could die from the new strain of a virulent influenza. Scientists hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen anything like the four-part H1N1, and that concern led to the early pandemic declaration and the quick production of genetically engineered vaccines. But by yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s end, however, there were far fewer cases and fewer deaths than predicted and the panicky concerns turned to angry questions in Europe. A front page headline in Britainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Daily Mail in Jan. 18 that read â&#x20AC;&#x153;The â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;falseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; pandemic: Drug firms cashed in on scare over swine flu, claims Euro health chiefâ&#x20AC;? was typical of the fast-spreading news coverage. On April 22, Britainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Independent reported that 474 people had died in the swine flu outbreak. The countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department of Health had planned for up to 65,000 deaths.

MOST DEATHS IN THE U.S. Worldwide, the World Health Organization this month reported more than 18,000 deaths from swine flu in 214 countries since 2009. The vast majority of H1N1 deaths, it appears, occurred in the United States. The CDC estimates 12,270 swine flurelated deaths in the United States. By comparison, about 35,000 Americans a year die from seasonal flu. However, the numbers of swine flu cases and related deaths reported by individual states were a fraction of CDCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s official figures. The disparities between the dire predictions and mild outcomes led to questions in Europe by lawmakers, physicians and the news media that havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been raised in the United States. The PACE, a 61-year-old intergovernmental body with 47 nation members, initiated an investigation Feb. 1 into whether WHO officials colluded with pharmaceutical companies. In his investigative report to PACE, Paul Flynn, a Labour Party member of the British Parliament since 1987, could

Obama does not have the solution

not lay that suspicion to rest because of WHOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s secrecy and refusal to cooperate. Flynnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s investigation focused hard â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but unsuccessfully â&#x20AC;&#x201C; on the two key changes by WHO in the definition of a pandemic in May 2009 that made the declaration of a worldwide pandemic possible less than a month later on June 11. Quietly, an internal WHO committee loosened the definition by removing the conditions that a fast spreading virus would, first, kill a high percentage of those infected and, second, had already caused many deaths. Flynn was unable to learn exactly why those changes were made or who was involved. The main suspicion, he states, â&#x20AC;&#x153;arises with regard to the issue of whether members of WHO advisory bodies have professional links to pharmaceutical groups.â&#x20AC;? But Flynn does not call for a criminal investigation to force WHO officials to testify or open the agencyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s files. Instead, he says, that job must fall to the news media.

TALE OF THREE CITIES: PHILADELPHIA, EL PASO, HIGH POINT The Philadelphia Health Departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spokesman Jeff Moran said that cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first swine flu death did not come until last June and that the current swine flu death toll for the city of 1.6 million people was 20. In El Paso, Texas, a city of 665,000, health department director Dr. Mike Hill said combined deaths from seasonal and swine flu were â&#x20AC;&#x153;extraordinarily low.â&#x20AC;? In a normal year, he said, there would be 120 flu-related deaths reported. But there were only 17 deaths from seasonal and swine flu in the 2009-10 season. In High Point, a city of about 105,000, with a county population of about 425,000, Merle Green, head of the Guilford County Health Department, said Guilford County had few deaths from swine flu. But the total deaths would not be known for a year when the state will report it. She also said, like Jeff Morgan and Dr. Hill, that she was unaware of controversy in Europe over the swine flu pandemic. Nor were they aware of the CDCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recommendation of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Universal Immunizationâ&#x20AC;? for everyone over six months. Unlike Europe, no one is calling for an investigation into the swine flu pandemic nor has the American media, basically carried anything about the recommen-

dations and conclusions of the PACE investigation.

UNIVERSAL FLU SHOTS COMING This year, for the first time, the CDC is recommending â&#x20AC;&#x153;universal immunizationâ&#x20AC;? for everyone over 6 months old in the coming flu season. And, the seasonal flu vaccine for 2010-11, as in Australia now, will include the H1N1 swine flu vaccine. So, many Americans who balked at taking the swine flu vaccination last year will have no choice between a seasonal flu and swine flu vaccine. The recommendation, likely to be seen as mandatory by some, is certain to be a controversial one â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as it was the last time the idea came up publicly. In past years, CDC has urged targeted groups most at risk, particularly the young and elderly, to take flu vaccines. While the CDC is now recommending seasonal flu shots for children 6 months and up, yet, in Australia, some children under five are getting sick. According to The Wall Street Journal, Asian Business, June 1, â&#x20AC;&#x153;CSL Ltd, voluntarily withdrew its child influenza vaccine in Australia on Tuesday after a government investigation found it induced seizures in children at nine times the expected level.â&#x20AC;? But the cause is still unknown. Asked to explain the difference between past practices and this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s universal immunization, Dimond said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year is the first time to my knowledge that ACIP (Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices) has specifically gone on record for universal vaccination for everyone over the age of 6 months.â&#x20AC;? But the genesis of the policy was in 2005 when the same CDC committee initially proposed going to universal immunization in five years to sharply increase vaccination rates and reduce flu cases and deaths. Then in 2005, the Associated Press reported, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The vaccine meeting, held every year, seeks to set an agenda for the upcoming flu season. Participants â&#x20AC;&#x201C; many with a financial stake in getting more people vaccinated â&#x20AC;&#x201C; said the universal vaccination push is likely to come within the next five years.â&#x20AC;?

ost successful businessmen know what it is like to have the financial wolf at the door. Many started at the bottom as working people, come from working class backgrounds and have known failure in life. They are much more sympathetic to the working man than those on the Left give them credit for. However, OPINION they have learned that Armstrong brooding Williams over poor decisions and blaming others for your situation does not do anybody any good. You have to solve your own problems. If you want â&#x20AC;&#x153;Big Brotherâ&#x20AC;? government to solve your problems, you then become a slave to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Big Brother.â&#x20AC;? Big Brother will support you only if you do what it wants. Paraphrasing the lyrics of Michael Jackson â&#x20AC;&#x153;look at the man in the mirrorâ&#x20AC;? to solve your problems and change your ways. That is the American way. President Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rhetoric may sound good to those who do not think through the unintended consequences of a Western European style welfare state imposed on the United States. However, it will lead to economic serfdom, a loss of individual freedom and a less prosperous America. Remember, our president has never met a payroll, provided goods or services that consumers were willing to pay for, or provided jobs with his own money or that of investors willing to trust him. Why should Americans think his nanny state rhetoric will solve Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s problems?

Lohanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manicure message gets attention

Oil cleanup workers outnumber tourists on the beach in Pensacola Beach, Fla., Wednesday. Oil washed ashore overnight leaving an ugly stain that brought out hundreds of BP workers to clean.

BP oil hidden in sand from easy cleanup GULF SHORES, Ala. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a dirty secret buried under Gulf of Mexico beaches after cleanup workers scrape away the oil washing ashore. Walk to a seemingly pristine patch of sand, plop down in a chair and start digging with your bare feet, like everyone does at the beach. Chances are youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll walk away with gooey tar between your toes. So far, cleanup workers hired

by BP have skimmed only the surface, using shovels or sifting machines to remove oil. The company is planning a deeper cleaning program that could include washing or incinerating sand once the leak is stopped off the coast of Louisiana. Some experts question whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better to just leave it alone and let nature run its course, in part because oil that weathers on beaches isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t considered as much

of a health hazard as fresh crude. Some environmentalists and local officials fret about harm to the ecosystem and tourism. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to have sand that is just as clean as it was before the spill,â&#x20AC;? said Tony Kennon, the mayor of Orange Beach, a popular tourist stretch reaching to the Florida state line. Meanwhile out in the Gulf, choppy seas held up oil skimming operations.

NYC bomb plot linked to British cell NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A failed plot to set off bombs in the New York subway system last year was part of a larger al-Qaida terrorist conspiracy that included a similar attack planned in England, U.S. prosecutors said Wednesday. In an indictment unsealed Wednesday in federal court in Brooklyn, prosecutors added several al-Qaida figures to the case, including Adnan Shukrijumah, an FBI most-wanted terrorist.

Shukrijumah, one of the al-Qaida leaders in charge of plotting attacks worldwide, was directly involved in recruiting and plotting the New York attack, prosecutors said. Attorney General Eric Holder has called that plot one of the most dangerous since 9/11. Three of the men indicted Wednesday â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Abid Naseer, Tariq Ur Rehman and an alleged al-Qaida operative known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ahmadâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; were linked to a previously un-

disclosed companion plot in England. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These charges underscore the global nature of the terrorist threat we face,â&#x20AC;? said David Kris, the Justice Departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top national security prosecutor. The Associated Press first reported last week that U.S. authorities believe Shukrijumah was involved in the subway plot, and that Ahmad is in Pakistani custody.

LOS ANGELES (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Never has so much attention been paid to a manicure. Less than 24 hours after Lindsay Lohan was sentenced to 90 days in jail and 90 days in rehab for violating probation on two DUIs, the talk isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t about her troubles, but about her fingernails. The 24-year-old actress sported a colorful manicure in court Tuesday that included obscene messages on each of her middle fingers. Close-up photos taken by a courtroom photographer revealed the tiny letters, which made worldwide news Wednesday on entertainment websites. Were the messages intended for the judge, who levied the harsh sentence Tuesday? Directives to the ever-present paparazzi

Actress Lindsay Lohan leaves the courthouse after a probation revocation hearing in Beverly Hills, Calif., Tuesday. who follow Lohanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s every move? Perhaps a silent snub to her estranged father, who attended Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proceedings? So far, Lohan is letting the middle-finger messages speak for themselves.

Lenoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Tonight Showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to host Joe Biden BURBANK, Calif. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Vice President Joe Biden is headed to Jay Lenoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stage. The Friday appearance will be Bidenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first stop on NBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Tonight Showâ&#x20AC;? since he took office in January 2009. He was a guest in 2007, and stopped in after he accepted the Democratic vice presidential nomination in 2008. President Barack Obama, first lady Michelle Obama and White House senior adviser David Axelrod also have

made appearances on the latenight show. Bidenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visit could signal he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hold Biden grudges. During the 2008 presidential campaign, Leno joked that Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin was going off script and making embarrassing statements so often that â&#x20AC;&#x153;her Secret Service code name is now Joe Biden.â&#x20AC;?

Heat-wave impact..1A BY DIANNA BELL ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – As temperatures neared 100 degrees Wednesday and air quality in the orange, High Point residents are looking for relief wherever they can find it. Mother Nature will not be providing any in the coming days, but temperatures will drop back down into the low to upper 90s. Warm air has been sweeping into the South from what Russell Henes, forecaster for the National Weather Service in Raleigh, calls a “stagnant high pressure loft.” Warmer air from the north is being dragged down to our area, heating things up. Wednesday came close to hitting a record high.

AT A GLANCE

—

The Air Quality Index (AQI) measures the amount of certain pollutants in the air. The higher the index number, the more people could experience adverse effects. The AQI is broken up into six categories: •Green, 0 to 50, air quality conditions are good •Yellow, 51 to 100, moderate health concern for a small number of people who are unusually sensitive to air pollution •Orange, 101 to 150, air quality is unhealthy for sensitive groups •Red, 151 to 200, unhealthy air quality—everyone may begin to experience health problems •Purple, 201-250, very unhealthy with everyone experiencing more serious effects •Maroon, 251-300, hazardous with the entire population likely to see effects

Henes said forecasts showed the high to be near 100, but fell short at 98. The previous record was from 1977 and registered at 101 from the Piedmont Triad International Airport. “Wednesday should be the hottest, with Thursday bringing increasing

cloudiness and temperatures in the upper 90s,” Henes said. “This weekend will be in the low 90s, which is still above average.” Normal temperatures for this time of year are typically around 87 during the day with lows about 68. There is a chance of rain moving

into the area, which could cause humidity to rise. “Tonight, there is a 20 percent chance of precipitation,” Henes said. “Friday and Saturday there is a 30 percent chance.” As for the air quality, it will continue to range between Codes Green to Orange, or good to unhealthy for sensitive groups. The stagnant front is one of the causes of the worsened air quality that caused Tuesday’s Code Orange classification. Henes also said High Point will be classified as an abnormally dry region starting today, but assures this does not mean that the area has entered the drought stage. Terry Howk, assistant director of Public Services for the City of High Point, says water levels are down at Oak Hollow Lake and City Lake, but it’s nothing to worry about so far. “City Lake is down 15 inches and Oak Hollow

Lake is down 4 and a half,” Howk said. “This is fairly normal for this time of year and residents should not be concerned.” Henes provided tips for surviving the heat and air quality. “If you are outside, be sure to hydrate often, wear light-colored clothing, and take plenty of breaks,” Henes said. High Point Regional Health System also urges residents to “check on family or neighbors who are sick or elderly to make sure the have fluids and are staying cool.” They also warn to “never leave children or pets in a car since they’re more prone to heat-related injuries.” The Emergency Department at High Point Regional has treated five individuals so far this week. All were treated for heat related illnesses.

HIGH POINT – Local gangs can say “adios” to more than 150 students who recently graduated from a gang prevention program in High Point. The students recently completed a two-year program called Amigos and Hermanos (friends and brothers), which is designed to prevent elementary and middle school students from the influences of gangs. The program was housed at the Hispanic Center of High Point at Christ the King Catholic Church. The program was part of the Governor’s Crime Commission approach to identifying and addressing the influence of gangs on young children. It was an outreach program of the Sisters of DePaul Society. During the two years,

Students who recently completed the Hispanic Center of High Point’s gang prevention program enjoy treats at the graduation celebration. students were educated in gang prevention, participated in role-playing seminars and community service. Parent education was an important component of the program, said Vicki Miller, education consultant. The students also were taught Gang Resistance, Education and Training, or GREAT. GREAT was

taught in conjunction with officers of Guilford County Juvenile Detention Center. The program started in July 2008 and celebrated its accomplishments with a graduation at the church June 26. Miller said the event was a success, thanks to the sponsorship of Colortyme on S. Main Street. “It was great for the students to have an opportu-

nity to reflect on their accomplishments of the past two years,” Miller said. The graduation celebration included food and fun activities, including an inflatable moon bounce. The Governor’s Crime Commission has been asked by the N.C. General Assembly to focus on the prevention of violent gang activity and a gang’s ability to recruit members. In

2009, the General Assembly approved $10 million to be made available to cities, towns and communities that submit proposals focusing on gang prevention and intervention. Because the program has run out of funding from GCC, Amigos and Hermanos is seeking new revenue sources to continue. jhowse@hpe.com | 888-3534

Report documents tough year for furniture BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – The Smith Leonard 2009 Comparative Annual Summary, released just before the July Fourth holiday, reveals in hard numbers what many had already guessed about last year regarding the furniture industry - it was a difficult time. According to the annual report, produced by Ken Smith of Smith Leonard Accountants and Consultants in High Point, shipments in the furniture sector were 15.79 percent lower than 2008 with 93 percent of surveyed participants reporting lower shipments. Also, 91 percent of participants said new orders

were lower in 2009 than 2008. Overall, shipments among participants have declined 32 percent since 2005, according to data from the monthly Furniture Insights reports that Smith also writes. “One of the things that happened in 2008 and 2009 is business fell off so much that people really had trouble responding to make the cuts they needed to,” Smith said. “A lot of us thought that 2009 was going to get better, but it really didn’t until the end of the year.” The sizable drops documented in the monthly reports for the last two years did take a turn for the better in November, when

the first year-to-year sales increase in more than a year was reported. Improvements have continued through April, the most recent monthly report, which saw a 12 percent increase in new orders. Shipment increases have been documented since December, and new orders are up 10 percent for the first four months of 2010 compared to 2009. Even the good news is backlit by many economic strains, Smith notes, such as the Gulf oil spill and economic troubles in Europe. Increases on freight rates and imported goods also may plague furniture companies this summer. He said it will take a lot of consistent, economic im-

provement before stable recovery is achieved in the industry. “I think we’ll see some improvement based on recent conversations I’ve had with some people,” he said. “It seems like some are learning to turn some losses, but it’s going to be a struggle.” “We said for the last two years, ‘These are turbulent times for the industry as a whole,’” Smith said in the report. “We just didn’t realize how much more turbulent they would become.. While 2010 has shown some improvement, there has been little consistency to the improvement, at least across the board.” phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

Pilot: Lake Norman landing ‘surreal’ MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

CHARLOTTE – The Mooresville man who piloted the plane that crashlanded and sank in Lake Norman on Tuesday night said he was taking the plane out for a routine exercise flight when the engine spluttered and refused to re-start. Mark Okkerse, 54, said he was at Lake Norman and getting ready for landing at the Lake Norman AirPark when the engine problem occurred. “At that point you don’t have a lot of options, and it was either trees or the lake,” he said. According to Okkerse, an aircraft salesman for Carolina Aircraft Inc. in Greensboro, the lake was the right choice. He continued trying to restart the engine as he performed procedures for an emergency landing. Okkerse was able to stall the plane enough to ensure a gentle landing into Lake Norman. After

Town secures breached dam site, awaits state decision FUNERAL HOPE MILLS – Temporary safety fencing has been installed around the empty bed of Hope Mills Lake as the town waits for state approval to begin moving concrete slabs from the breached dam. Removing the slabs will help determine the extent of the damage and what work needs to be done to repair it, said Town Manager Randy Beeman. “Anything that goes on around the structure, we have to get approval from the proper agencies,” Beeman said. “They have to be notified every step of the way.” The lake emptied June 17 as the water level was being lowered to check on a possible problem.

position from 1977 to 1979, Kreps initiated a historic trade agreement between the United States and China. Survivors include a daughter, Laura Anne Kreps of Durham; a son, Dr. Clifton H. Kreps III of Kirksville, Mo.; and four grandchildren. The funeral will be held at 2 p.m. Friday at Chapel of the Cross Episcopal Church in Chapel Hill.

the plane hit water, Okkerse said he popped the plane door open, jumped out onto the wing and was picked up by a couple in a nearby pontoon boat. The ordeal was over in a matter of minutes, he said. “(There was) no physical damage, it’s just kind of a surreal thing,” Okkerse said. The landing happened around 7:45 p.m. Tuesday, near Morrison Farm Road, south of Duke Power State Park. As of this morning, the plane was submerged 50 feet below the lake, said Lt. Todd Carver, the Iredell County lake patrol supervisor. The plane that sank was a single-engine Beech 33, said Kathleen Bergen, a spokeswoman for the Federal Aviation Association. The plane will be extracted from the lake later this afternoon by Atlanta Air Salvage, a Georgia aircraft transport company, she added.

Lawmakers pass changes to NC child abuser list RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Legislature has responded to a North Carolina appeals court case that found people suspected by social workers of abuse should have the ability to defend themselves before going on a statewide list. Lawmakers gave final approval Wednesday to a bill that gives people a chance challenge their addition to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Respon-

sible Individuals List.â&#x20AC;? The list is a confidential roster of more than 8,000 people checked by day care centers or adoption agencies to determine the fitness of a potential parent or worker. The state Court of Appeals ruled in March that putting people on the list without them being able to argue against it violates due process rights.

Cape Lookout Lighthouse inspires political cooperation MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

RALEIGH â&#x20AC;&#x201C; There is something about lighthouses that breeds bipartisanship. North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s U.S. Sens. Kay Hagan, a Democrat, and Richard Burr, a Republican, Wednesday toured the newly renovated Cape Lookout Lighthouse, which has been shining its beacon since 1859. They were joined on the boat ride from Harkers Island by U.S. Rep. Walter Jones, the Republican who represents the district. Coming together for lighthouses is a bit of a tradition. Even as they were girding for a titanic political struggle, Republican Sen. Jesse Helms and Democratic Gov. Jim Hunt in 1981 co-led the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Save the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse Committee.â&#x20AC;? The committee helped raise $500,000 in private donations to prevent the lighthouse from falling into the sea. But that proved only a stopgap. Congress appropriated $11.8 million to move the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse in 1999. NCCU birthday souvenirs

The U.S. Postal Service has joined in the celebration for N.C. Central Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 100th Birthday Bash. Guests who attend the university celebration today can have a selfstamped envelope marked with an official commemorative centennial cancellation. The special cancellation stamp includes an image of Dr. James E. Shepard, the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s founder, and the words â&#x20AC;&#x153;100 Years.â&#x20AC;? It also designates NCCU as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Centennial Celebration Stationâ&#x20AC;? for July 8. Acting Durham Postmaster Michael King will unveil the special cancellation stamp at the start of the event. Later, a postal clerk will cancel stamped envelopes presented by partygoers. In addition, the Postal Service will give away a large framed poster of its Malcolm X stamp, one in a series of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Black Heritageâ&#x20AC;? postage stamps. Everyone who has an envelope canceled will receive a ticket for the raffle. Tweets for the GOP During the last presidential election, many Republicans felt they were behind the Democrats when it came to using such tools as Face-

book, Twitter and blogging. So, the N.C. Republican Party hopes to do something about it. This summer party officials plan to hold workshops in Wilmington, Raleigh, Greenville, Winston-Salem, Hendersonville, Fayetteville and Cornelius to train candidates, activists and leaders to use new media to reach voters. The training session in Raleigh will be held at 6:30 p.m. July 20, at state GOP headquarters. Matters of trust North Carolinians tend to trust Republicans on taxes and immigration, while they tend to trust Democrats on education, a new poll suggests. But on issues such as creating jobs, fostering economic growth and fighting corruption, voters view the two major parties equally, according to new poll conducted for the Civitas Institute, a Raleigh-based conservative advocacy group. The survey of 600 likely voters was conducted by Tel Opinion Research of Alexandria, Va., June 15-18. It has a margin of error of 4 percentage points.

Good old days are long gone from relationship

ear Abby: I am an 18-year-old woman and have been with my fiance for 21â &#x201E;2 years. I love him and canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t picture my life without him. However, over the last six months he has become emotionally abusive. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never wrong, gets mad if I disagree with him about anything, and he yells at me over every little thing. He used to treat me great, and now this. I miss how it used to be, and I cry almost every day. In the past I always told myself I would never put up with something like this, but I have been â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and it gets harder every day. I know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not physical, but emotional abuse counts for something, right? Or am I overreacting? Please give me some advice. I need to know there IS a light at the end of the tunnel. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Sad in Las Vegas Dear Sad: Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not overreacting. What you are experiencing now is a preview of how the rest of your life will be if you stay with him. When a partner becomes controlling and emotionally abusive, in most cases itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only a matter of time until the physical abuse begins. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re smart, you will put an end to this NOW. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;light at the end of the tun-

ADVICE Dear Abby

nelâ&#x20AC;? is the sunshine youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see once you exit this relationship and slam the door behind you.

Dear Abby: Would you please say something about the practice of choosing teams for group games by having team captains select individuals through the process of elimination? As a child, I was always the person chosen last, and it happened again at a recent community function. I found it just as humiliating and hurtful as an adult. We were asked to stand and then sit down as our names were called. I was the last person standing in a room of 60 people, and it felt like I had just been pronounced the least popular and desirable person in the room. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Outcast in Allen Park, Mich. â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013;

Dear â&#x20AC;&#x153;Outcastâ&#x20AC;?: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad you wrote. When choosing teams for group games, most savvy educators separate students into â&#x20AC;&#x153;oddsâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;evensâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or divide them alphabetically â&#x20AC;&#x201C; rather than using the old â&#x20AC;&#x153;last man

standingâ&#x20AC;? method. That this would happen in a room full of adults shows extreme insensitivity, and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t blame you for being upset. Dear Abby: My mom recently married a man with four daughters whose upbringing was very different than mine. Most of the time the â&#x20AC;&#x153;culture clashâ&#x20AC;? doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bother me, except when we get into trouble. When I stay out after my curfew, I am grounded for two weeks. When they do it, they get a minor scolding. While I understand that we were raised with different standards, I resent it when my punishment is worse than theirs. How can I make this equal? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Angry in the West Dear Angry: Yours is a problem that occurs in many families when they become blended â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and you are right; the situation is unfair. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why I hope you will show this item to your parents. Family counseling can help them arrive at a fair solution and head off resentments before they explode.

Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Legislature passes ban on Internet sweepstakes RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The North Carolina Legislature voted Wednesday to attempt to make clear again that a 2006 ban on video poker also applies to computer-based sweepstakes games found at businesses inside strip malls and old storefronts statewide. In an 86-27 vote that gave final passage to the bill, the House agreed to the Senateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan to eliminate by Dec. 1 the games that gambling opponents say seduce players and take their money.

Patches of white skin can be treated or hidden

ear Dr. Donohue: My grandson developed vitiligo when he was 6 years old. His mother has it. It breaks my heart when I see him. He is now 15 and in high school. The condition is affecting him emotionally. My son and daughter-inlaw have taken him to the best doctors in New York. They used creams and special lights. Is there something else we can do for him? – D.S.

Vitiligo is patches of depigmented skin, white skin. Sometimes the patches are very large and cover much of the body. Melanocytes have disappeared from the skin. Melanocytes are cells containing the pigment melanin. Dark skin has many melanocytes; light skin, fewer. Aside from burning easily, vitiliginous skin isn’t usually a health problem. It is, however, a huge psychological and emotional problem. It’s believed that vitiligo is an autoimmune illness, one where the immune system has turned against melanocytes. Sometimes it’s seen in association with other immune disorders, like thyroid malfunction, type 1 diabetes, adrenal gland failure and pernicious anemia. Most often, it occurs on its own. Heredity does have a role in causing it. An impressive number of treatments exist. Cortisone drugs applied

to the skin can sometimes coax melanocytes to return. Narrowband ultraHEALTH violet light B has had Dr. Paul success. Donohue Oral drugs ■■■ called psoralens, which sensitize the skin to ultraviolet light, are another treatment. It takes many treatments before acceptable results are obtained. The laser beam in conjunction with tacrolimus or pimecrolimus offers another possibility. I haven’t mentioned all treatments. I’m sure your grandson would benefit from a revisit to a dermatologist if he hasn’t been seen since he was 6. Another route is to apply cosmetics to the skin to hide the vitiligo patches. Dermablend and Covermark are two often recommended products. Dy-O-Derm and Vitadye are dyes that can blend the vitiligo patches with adjacent skin. Dear Dr. Donohue: In regard to the questions asked about Lewy body dementia, I have had firsthand experience with it because my husband has it. Please tell people about the Lewy Body Dementia Association and its website, www.lbda.org. It is the best place I have found

for current information on this disease. It’s updated every two months. – A.W. I’m happy to spread the word about Lewy body disease and the Lewy Body Dementia Association. It’s one of those diseases, like Alzheimer’s disease, that robs people of clear thinking and remembering. Lewy body patients often exhibit signs of Parkinson’s disease, too. Lewy bodies are protein deposits in the brain that are named for the neurologist Dr. Friederich Lewy. Dear Dr. Donohue: I am a 28-year-old college student pursuing a degree in a field I am passionate about, botany. I thank you for setting the facts straight on ECT, sometimes called electroshock therapy. I lived with bipolar disorder for 12 years. For the first six and a half years, I had severe symptoms that did not respond to medication. I was very negative about and afraid of ECT until I started having treatments myself. My symptoms quickly went away. I came through treatments without any memory loss. – J.L. DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible.

The Glades’ brings police drama to South Florida DAVID FISCHER ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

EMBROKE PARK, Fla. – Detective Jim Longworth will soon find out what Florida residents and visitors have known for a long time: It’s a weird place. “The Glades,” a police drama set to premiere at 10 p.m. Sunday, follows a Chicago detective who relocates to South Florida, expecting to slide into a cushy job with plenty of time to hit the beaches and golf courses. But he quickly realizes that life isn’t going to be as simple or as relaxing as he thought it would be. Besides being set in South Florida, the show is filmed in the Fort Lauderdale area – most Florida-themed shows, like “CSI: Miami,” are filmed primarily in California. The USA Network’s “Burn Notice,” which recently began shooting its fourth season in Miami, is the only other show filmed totally in Florida. “The Glades’ ” creator and executive producer, Clifton Campbell, grew up near Miami and knew he couldn’t capture South Florida’s essence anywhere else. “I’ve noticed a lot of shows that try to be set there without actually shooting there, and it’s

always sort of rankled me a little bit,” Campbell said. “So I decided that I wanted to set a show there, not just in South Florida, but in my South Florida, the part of the world that I grew up in, that I think is just as stunningly attractive and interesting and weird and cool as South Beach.” Clifton’s South Florida – for the purposes of the show – is the fictional town of Palm Glade. As a detective with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, the show’s protagonist covers an area that includes beautiful beaches and gator-infested swamps. By filming in South Florida, Campbell said the environment will be like another character on the show. Soundstages were built in an industrial space in Pembroke Park, a Fort Lauderdale suburb, but Campbell said they generally shoot outside on location five days a week. Campbell acknowledged that they probably could have faked Florida in California or somewhere else, but they wouldn’t have been able to do nearly as much location shooting. “I don’t know if the entire world or country would notice the difference, but anyone who’s been to Florida would know,” Campbell said.

Matt Passmore smiles as he talks to Carlos Gomez during rehearsal of an episode of “The Glades” in Pembroke Park, Fla. The new police drama features a Chicago homicide detective who relocates to the fictional town of Palm Glade, Fla. “You could cheat it and get away with it. But that’s what you would be doing, getting away with it.” Regardless of the setting, the show’s success or failure could ultimately hang on how audiences respond to its lead, Matt Passmore. As an Australian,

Passmore said he’s just as much a fish-out-of-water as Longworth. “I’m an Aussie playing a Chicago cop who’s down in Florida,” Passmore said. After appearing on several television series in his native country, Passmore came to the U.S. to shoot a pilot for

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

Fox. It didn’t get picked up, but that cleared the way for him to land on “The Glades.” “When this script came along, the characters kind of jumped off the page,” Passmore said. “It wasn’t your average cop show. And this character, it just looked like there was a lot of fun to be had.”

Andrew Garfield, whose credits include last year’s Heath Ledger film “The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus,” has been cast as Peter Parker, the average youth who transforms into a superhero, in the next “Spider-Man” movie, distributor Sony Pictures announced last week. The as-yetuntitled “Spider-Man” film begins shooting in December and is due in theaters July 3, 2012. Marc Webb, who made the romance “(500) Days of Summer” is directing. Garfield and Webb got the jobs after star Tobey Maguire and director Sam Raimi, who made three blockbuster “Spider-Man” films together, departed amid story and scheduling issues over a fourth movie. “Though his name may be new to many, those who know this young actor’s work understand his extraordinary talents,” Webb said. “He has a rare combination of intelligence, wit, and humanity. Mark my words, you will love Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker.” Among Garfield’s other credits are director David Fincher’s upcoming “The Social Network,” about the founders of Facebook, and Keira Knightley and Carey Mulligan’s upcoming drama, “Never Let Me Go.” Garfield also starred in the acclaimed British drama “Boy A.” Garfield was born in the United States, but was raised in England. “In the SpiderMan tradition, we were looking for a smart, sensitive and cool new Peter Parker who can inspire us and make us laugh, cry, and cheer,” said Avi Arad, one of the producers on the “Spider-Man” franchise.

HOROSCOPE

CROSSWORD

Thursday, July 8, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Sophia Bush, 28; Toby Keith, 49; Kevin Bacon, 52; Anjelica Huston, 59 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Expect your awareness, fortitude and ability to make things happen but also to bring about added responsibility and dependency. Thinking and acting fast will show others that you have learned from your mistakes and now know what’s required to get ahead and to change whatever isn’t working for you. Letting go will become easier and will lead to progress. Your numbers are 9, 13, 20, 27, 31, 35, 47 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Just when you think things are going to turn out one way, they go the other way. Although nothing is a sure thing, you will still manage to adapt to whatever challenges you face. You will have the strength, courage and discipline you need. ★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Join forces with people you get along with and who have the same goals in mind. Friends, neighbors and relatives will offer support and suggestions that can make your life easier. Responsible actions will bring positive change. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Not everyone will agree with the way you want to do things. Be honest about what you need and you will surpass any of the negativity. Uncertainty revolving around children or those dependent on you can be resolved with the help of relatives or neighbors. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Subconsciously, you already know the answer you are looking for. It’s your reluctance to make a move that is holding you back. Surprise everyone by taking action. Once you get started, you will find it isn’t as difficult as you imagined. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Money can be made if you aren’t afraid to try something new or invest in a creative idea. If someone owes you, it’s a good time to collect. Don’t waste money traveling unnecessarily. ★★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Offering help may seem like the best idea, but don’t get taken for granted. Paying for someone else’s mistake will not fix the underlying problem. Moderation, listening and offering suggestions will keep you in the loop. ★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Take a deep breath and let everything come to a standstill if you have to in order to rethink your strategy. It’s time to take matters into your own hands and to do the work yourself instead of trying to get others to do it for you. ★★★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): This is not the time to underestimate what you are capable of or to let someone else take the lead when you can do a better job. Your observations will be your guide to fine-tuning any project you are pursuing. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Alter your living quarters or make a move that will give you greater freedom or more space. The changes you make now will encourage you to take on new projects and to interact with people who have more to offer you personally and professionally. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t let anyone dictate what’s going to happen next. Take hold of your world and make the decisions needed. An investment being offered is probably not as sound as someone wants you to believe. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): It’s up to you to take care of your own well-being and to move in a direction of personal and professional gains. Don’t let a poor relationship lead to poor decisions. Discard whatever is holding you back. ★★★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Make alterations that will improve your position, your home and your lifestyle. Speak up about the way you feel and how you see things unfolding. Networking and socializing should be your goal. ★★

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

You can play a one-deal match today. Look only at South’s hand. You open one diamond, and North responds two clubs and raises your two-diamond rebid to three. What is your action? At the other table. South passed three diamonds for an easy plus score. If you passed also, the deal is tied. If you bid 3NT, you play there, and West leads a spade. You take East’s queen and return a spade, setting up the ninth trick with your ten. Well done.

NINE TRICKS

DAILY QUESTION

In real life, South bid five diamonds -- a questionable call since nine tricks are usually easier than 11. If you played at five diamonds, would you make it after West leads a heart, and East takes the ace and returns a heart? South should win, lead a club to the ace and return the jack, pitching his last heart. West takes the king and tries to cash a heart, and South ruffs, takes the K-Q of trumps, and leads the nine of clubs for a second ruffing finesse through East. He can set up two winners in dummy to pitch two spades.

You hold: S Q 9 6 H A J 6 D 7 4 2 C Q 5 3 2. Your partner opens one spade, and you bid two spades. After two passes, the player at your right balances with a double. What do you say? ANSWER: You correct call is a redouble to show maximum values for a single raise. The opponents will run to a suit. If they run to clubs, you can double. If they try three of a red suit, maybe partner can double. He always has the option of competing to three spades. South dealer N-S vulnerable

ONE STAR: It’s best to avoid conflicts; work behind the scenes or read a good book. Two stars: You can accomplish but don’t rely on others for help. Three stars: If you focus, you will reach your goals. Four stars: You can pretty much do as you please, a good time to start new projects. Five stars: Nothing can stop you now. Go for the gold.

OS ANGELES â&#x20AC;&#x201C; She said he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t intimate. He said she wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t faithful. She called him a fame whore. He called her jealous. For weeks, the nasty break-up of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Bachelorâ&#x20AC;? couple Jake Pavelka and Vienna Girardi has been fought in the tabloids. In their latest round of sparring, the pair were back in front of the reality TV cameras where it all began. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unfortunately, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what one of our arguments looks like,â&#x20AC;? Pavelka said after a weeping Girardi stomped away from their pre-taped reunion at the end of Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s episode of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Bacheloretteâ&#x20AC;? starring Ali Fedotowsky, the former Facebook advertising account manager who chose her job over Pavelka during his â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bachelorâ&#x20AC;? season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of embarrassing.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Bachelorâ&#x20AC;? host Chris Harrison moderated the pool-side debate between the couple, who called off their engagement last month. The 32-year-old pilot from Dallas and the 23-year-old Geneva, Fla., resident quarreled over such issues as where they should place furniture in their home and why she gave an interview to a tabloid about their split.

Normally, when the couples who meet on â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Bachelorâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Bacheloretteâ&#x20AC;? end their made-on-TV relationships â&#x20AC;&#x201C; just three out of 19 are still together â&#x20AC;&#x201C; their publicists release a statement announcing an amicable parting before they quietly fade back into obscurity. Pavelka and Girardi, however, quickly launched into public mudslinging after ending their romance. Girardi lashed out first by appearing on the cover of Star magazine alongside the headline â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a MONSTER!â&#x20AC;? Pavelka then struck back on the front of People magazine above the headline â&#x20AC;&#x153;I DONâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;T TRUST HER.â&#x20AC;? Girardi later dodged infidelity allegations on Twitter, while Pavelka unloaded about his relationship regrets in an interview with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Extraâ&#x20AC;? host Mario Lopez. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nobody likes airing out their grief in public,â&#x20AC;? said D. Ivan Young, author of relationship guide â&#x20AC;&#x153;Break Up, Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Break Down.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;â&#x20AC;&#x2122;When you find people putting behavior like that out there, they are people who are more concerned about the integrity of their brand rather than the content of their character.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Genius grantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; helps ulfill dreams DANA SCHIMMEL ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

EW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Classically trained jazz violinist Regina Carter wanted to go beyond the boundaries of Western music, but couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find a record label willing to partner up on the adventure. Then came along the MacArthur Foundation, which bestowed on her its prestigious $500,000 fellowship, known as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;genius grant.â&#x20AC;? Carter spent some of the money taking an introductory course on music therapy, and then spent some following her intuition. The unrestricted grant allowed her to spend three years independently researching and recording African folk songs, combining instruments and melodies she only had a feeling might coalesce into something substantive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I took a chance putting these instruments together for this project, not knowing if it was going to work,â&#x20AC;? says Carter of the resulting 12 tracks on her recently released CD, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Reverse Threads.â&#x20AC;? Carter talked recently about the album, which features violin, accordion and the traditional West African 21-stringed kora. The Associated Press: It sounds like there are all kinds of musical influences on this African-influenced CD. Carter: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a huge continent first of all, Africa is, and so thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so many different cultures and so many different styles of music. Some-

Regina Carter times I would hear something and say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh wow, that sounds like Irish musicâ&#x20AC;? ... Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d started to see within the research how much we influence â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you know from traveling â&#x20AC;&#x201C; how much the planet and how much weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all influenced through music or art, and how much weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re connected all over the planet. AP: As you were discovering these songs and compositions, which story surprised you the most? Carter: I think the two

tunes I recorded, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hiwumbe Awumbaâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mwana Talitambula.â&#x20AC;? Reading that they were from the Ugandan Jews and I had no idea that there were Jewish people in Uganda ... Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty amazing what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve started to learn just by researching music, the history that sometimes goes along with some of these pieces. AP: What was most challenging thing about making this album? Carter: These melodies when you listen to them, they sound very simple, but when you try to play them, you find that sometimes the simplest sounding things are the most difficult things to play. And having the technique and coming from a jazz world and being so used to improvising and using that language, sometimes it was too much. It was too many decorations, if you will, on the music, so I had to stop myself and really strip it away and let the beauty of these melodies really speak for themselves. AP: Howâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s working

with your husband (percussionist Alvester Garnett)? Carter: Working with my husband is really great. We figured out how it was going to work for us. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m the boss of course - all the time. And he always tells me, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Well, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the boss two times over.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; On the road, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t share rooms, because when weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working together, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my drummer and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m the violinist weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ban mates then. And it helps to keep it so thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no favoritism, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all on equal footing. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no weird dynamic. And then when we get home, that dynamic, I had to learn. We both did â&#x20AC;&#x201C; how to make that shift into being husband and wife.

Former SWG hurler signs pro contract ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

GREENSBORO – Former Southwest Guilford High School and UNC Greensboro standout Blake Hassebrock has decided to forego his senior season with the Spartans after signing a contract with the Oakland Athletics, the team recently announced. Hassebrock was taken in the eighth round by the Athletics in June as part of the 2010 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft. It marked the 14th time in the past 15 years that at least one UNCG player has been

drafted. He is also the 12th pitcher in the past 14 seasons to be drafted. The 6-foot-5, 190pound right-hander will begin his proHassebrock fessional career by reporting to the Arizona League Athletics, the club’s rookie-ball affiliate. After that, he will move on to the Vancouver Canadians, which is Oakland’s short-season affiliate. If Hassebrock pitches well in Vancouver, he has the potential to join former Spartans’ team-

mate Rob Gilliam with the Kane County (Ill.) Cougars in low-A ball. In 2009, Gilliam was drafted by the Athletics in the eighth round. Oakland’s high-A team is in Stockton, Calif., with double-A in Midland, Texas, and triple-A in Sacramento. Former Ledford High School standout David Thomas, a 14th-round pick of the A’s in 2008, currently is an outfielder with the Stockton Ports after working his way up. After spending his first two seasons as almost strictly a reliever, Hassebrock split time between

the starting rotation and the bullpen last spring. In his 21 appearances, he managed to hold his opponents to three earned runs or less 16 times. He finished second on the team with 61 strikeouts in 73 innings. In perhaps his best start of the season, Hassebrock went seven innings against Princeton, allowing just one run on three hits and striking out five batters. He had his only complete game of the season against Samford and picked up his lone save against Davidson.

DON DAVIS JR. | HPE

Down ... but not out: DeSean Anderson of High Point Post 87 goes down in the first inning after being hit by a pitch intended for Western Forsyth catcher Dylan Pfangst. The Junior HiToms went down Wednesday night at Finch Field, but still can win their second-round American Legion Baseball playoff series by handling Western tonight in Clemmons in the fifth and deciding game.

Post 87 faces Game 5 drama BY DANIEL KENNEDY SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

THOMASVILLE – A few of the perceived weaknesses that plagued High Point Post 87 earlier in the summer reared their ugly heads Wednesday night, and the Junior HiToms could not close out Western Forsyth Post 522 in Game 4 of the second-round series. A handful of crucial defensive miscues and a subpar outing from the recently lights-out David Coffey left the crowd at Finch Field stunned at Post 87’s 9-5 defeat and left the door open for a deciding Game 5 to be played at West Forsyth High School tonight at 7. “We’re up 3-1 in the fifth and we make three, four errors in that one inning and it just kind of snowballed,” Post 87 coach Rob Shore said. “You can’t do that in the playoffs. You can’t give away stuff like that.”

Having been staked to a tworun lead, Coffey settled in after allowing an early run and cruised through the next three frames before running into trouble in the fifth. Western plated five runs in the inning, all with two outs. Back-to-back hits from J.T. Tuttle and David Cook set up leadoff man Hunter Dull. A single from Dull brought home Tuttle, and an error on the ensuing play scored Cook to tie the game at 3-3. Coffey’s walk of Jonathan Holt then loaded the bases, and cleanup hitter Dustin Myers tapped weakly back to the mound. Unfortunately for High Point, Coffey’s throw to first that would have ended the threat sailed wide and rattled around in the right-field corner to allow all three runs to score, giving Post 522 a 6-3 edge. “Yeah, it’s really hard,” Coffey said of the thin margin for error. “We’re going to have to come out

(in Game 5) with a lot more energy than we had tonight.” Following the disappointing fifth inning against the No. 1 seed from Area III North, Post 87 (18-8) got two of the runs back in the seventh to make the score 65. The rally fell short, however, as solo home runs from Andre McKoy and Holt in the eighth and ninth innings, respectively, put the game on ice. Shore’s team, seeded fourth, will regroup and attempt to get back to basics tonight as it faces the must-win game to advance. If there is a silver lining to the trip to West Forsyth, it is that the road team has won all four games of the series thus far. “That’s the first thing I told them,” Shore said. “As backwards as this series is right now, we’ve got the advantage going in because the home team hasn’t won yet.”

HITOMS BEAT ASHEBORO

----

The Thomasville HiToms’ wild win at Asheboro on Wednesday included a player ejected for arguing balls and strikes and a run disallowed due to what umps called an illegal bat. Tanner Mathis got an RBI single with a bat umpires did let him use in the fifth, making it 4-2 after Thomasville tallied three unearned runs in the first. Asheboro tied it off an error and balk in the sixth, but Thomasville’s Ben Grisz led off the ninth with a homer for a 5-4 victory. It was the HiToms’ first win of the second half. J.J. Jankowski struck out three in a quick bottom half of the ninth. Thomasville welcomes Martinsville to Finch Field tonight at 7.

HIT AND RUN

he U.S. Women’s Open tees off today at one of my favorite major championship venues. Historic Oakmont plays host to the women’s national championship for the second time in its history. Patty Sheehan, one of the most personable and talented players of the past few decades, captured the 1992 U.S. Women’s Open at Oakmont. I’m sure I’ll tune in for some of the action over the next four days. When you think about it, few courses have

been home to more great golf action than Oakmont. This year’s Women’s Open marks the 18th major championship contested at the legendary Pennsylvania course. Oakmont has hosted eight U.S. Opens, five U.S. Amateurs, three PGA Championships plus the two U.S. Women’s Opens. The list of past major champions at Oakmont reads like a who’s who of golf – Gene Sarazen, Bobby Jones, Tommy Armour, Sam Snead, Ben Hogan, Jack Nicklaus, Johhny

Miller, Larry Nelson, Ernie Els and Angel Cabrera headline the winners. That’s an impressive array of champions. Nicklaus’ 1962 U.S. Open playoff victory over Arnold Palmer stands out as one of the seminal golf moments of the past 50 years. The men’s U.S. Open returns to Oakmont in 2016. In the meantime, we can enjoy a great test for the women this weekend.

WHO’S NEWS

NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson is a father, and it won’t interfere with his racing schedule. Johnson’s wife, Chandra, gave birth to a daughter Wednesday. A Johnson spokesperson said mother and baby are doing well. No other details will be released. It is the reigning fourtime champion’s first child. The 34-yearold Johnson was prepared to miss a race if his wife went into labor, and with the birth of his daughter expected this weekend, he had Aric Almirola on standby should he need to leave Saturday night’s race at Chicago. Chicagoland Speedway is one of just four tracks on the current Cup circuit where Johnson has not won, but he has had just one finish outside of the top 10 there in eight career starts. NASCAR is in the midst of a baby boom this season: Juan Pablo Montoya and Jeff Gordon will welcome babies this summer, while Carl Edwards and Elliott Sadler both became first-time fathers already.

REIMS, France (AP) — A brief look at Wednesday’s fourth stage of the Tour de France: Stage: A 95.4-mile ride from Cambrai to the champagne capital Reims — a mostly flat trek that was tailor-made for sprinters. Winner: Alessandro Petacchi of Italy. The Lampre rider collected his second stage victory of this Tour. Julian Dean of New Zealand was second, and Edval Boasson Hagen of Norway was third. Yellow Jersey: Fabian Cancellara of Switzerland, who finished in the main pack along with the expected title contenders. Seven-time champion Lance Armstrong remained 18th, 2:30 back, and defending champion Alberto Contador of Spain is ninth, 1:40 back. Quote of the Day: “I didn’t want to have a third day in a row of bad luck” — Lance Armstrong, referring to his crash in a rainy second stage Monday and a flat tire in Stage 3. Next stage: Thursday’s fifth stage also is a mostly flat stage, a 116.5-mile run from Epernay to Montargis.

Miami lands Wade, Bosh DAVIE, Fla. (AP) – Dwyane Wade’s future was muddled and uncertain, until Chris Bosh told him where he wanted to spend the next few years. “I’m feeling Miami,” Bosh said. Those three words were all Wade needed to make his decision. Will they be enough to sway LeBron James to Miami? Stay tuned. Ending months of speculation, Wade and Bosh announced Wednesday that they’ll sign with Miami, two decisions that vault the Heat back into the NBA championship picture and put them two-thirds of the way to hitting one of the biggest trifectas in NBA history. Wade, Bosh and James all have talked about playing together. Tonight, James will say why that will or will not happen. “It’s over,” Wade said in an interview with The AP. “It’s not all over-over, but for me, it’s over.” James can’t say that yet. Wade told the Heat that for him to re-sign, the team had to add either James or Bosh. For good measure, they might get both. “It had to be one or the other,” Wade said in the AP interview. “Of course, there’s a lot of talented players in this league. But you want to look at

players that complement my game, and Chris and LeBron are two of those guys. I had a decision to make. Chris had a decision to make. It wasn’t a lock that he would come to Miami. So I had a lot to think about.” James averaged 29.7 points for Cleveland last season, Wade averaged 26.6 points for Miami and Bosh averaged careerbests of 24.0 points and 10.8 rebounds for Toronto. They were the three kingpins of this longhyped free-agent market, a trio of All-Stars who came into the league together seven years ago and structured their last contracts just to hit the open market together this summer, the last under the current terms of the league’s collective bargaining agreement. Now, the ball is in King James’ court. “I expect us to compete for a championship,” Bosh told ESPN. “I think both Dwyane and I, we both wanted an opportunity where right away we would be competing. ... We’re ready to sacrifice a lot of things in order to do that. It’s not about the money. It’s not about anything else except for winning. I’m a winner. Dwyane’s a winner. We’re going to bring winning to Miami.”

Cavs’ coach visits James at camp AKRON, Ohio (AP) – With LeBron James’ decision nearing by the second, the Cleveland Cavaliers took one final, and perhaps desperate, run at the biggest free agent of them all. New Cavs coach Byron Scott showed up unannounced at James’ summer camp and spent an hour watching the twotime MVP and several Cleveland players work out on Wednesday as the NBA – and seemingly the entire sports world – prepares for James to announce which team he’ll sign with during a national TV appearance on ESPN. Norby Williamson, ESPN’s vice president of production, said that announcement will come during the first 10 minutes of tonight’s hourlong broadcast. Sportscaster Jim Gray will handle the

introduction, announcement and questions. Williamson said Gray was hand-picked by James’ team, who approached the network last week about the special. And a person familiar with the plans tells The Associated Press the interview will take place at the Boys & Girls Club of Greenwich, Conn. Where James will ultimately end up, however, is still very much an unknown. That prompted Scott’s visit to the camp to watch as James took the floor to run a few full-court games with Cavaliers Jamario Moon, Danny Green, Christian Eyenga and assistant coach Chris Jent. Scott was hired last week by the Cavs and was part of their presentation team that wooed James last week at his business office in downtown Cleveland.

Bulls bag Boozer CHICAGO (AP) – Carlos Boozer is headed to the Chicago Bulls. Now what about you, LeBron James? A person familiar with the negotiations told The AP that Boozer, a twotime All-Star forward from Duke, agreed to a deal on Wednesday and is leaving the Utah Jazz after six seasons. Several outlets have reported it’s a five-year deal, and the Chicago Tribune cited a source saying the Bulls would still have enough room to offer a maximum salary contract to another free agent. The NBA set the salary cap at $58.04 million for next season on Wednesday. James, the jewel of this star-studded class, is still out there. While everyone awaits his announcement

tonight, the Bulls at least know they’re not coming away empty-handed after landing Boozer. Anticipating about $30 million in cap room, the Bulls were looking to make a big splash in free agency after consecutive first-round playoff exits. Adding Boozer strengthens their standing in the Eastern Conference – and maybe makes them more attractive to James, his former teammate. Boozer averaged 19.5 points and 11.2 rebounds last season. His arrival gives the Bulls a formidable pair in the frontcourt with Joakim Noah, not to mention a good pick-and-roll partner for All-Star point guard Derrick Rose. The U.S. Olympian would be one of the top prizes in free agency most summers.

In a view from the second deck, the seats where a fan landed Tuesday after falling at the Texas Rangers’ ballpark in Arlington are seen Wednesday. Tyler Morris fell 30 feet while reaching for a foul ball.

Fan’s harrowing fall not fatal FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) – A firefighter who tumbled about 30 feet from the Texas Rangers stands while trying to catch a foul ball received a hospital visit – and the ball – from team president Nolan Ryan on Wednesday. Tyler Morris, 25, who works at the Lake Cities Fire Department near Dallas, was at Tuesday night’s game with fellow firefighters when he fell over a seconddeck railing onto field-level seats below. He suffered a head injury and sprained ankle but no internal injuries, and was expected to be released from the hospital soon, friends said. “Everything was happening so fast,” said Kevin Conner, who attended the game with Morris. “The ball went over us and bounced off the seats ... and he went toward it. Then he flipped all

the way around but grabbed onto the railing (before falling). That’s what saved his life.” Conner said Morris had not been drinking at the game. After Texas’ Nelson Cruz hit the foul ball in the fifth inning of the game against the Cleveland Indians, the crowd gasped loudly, cried “Oh!” and stood up after Morris fell. Players and fans appeared worried and somber, and the game was delayed about 15 minutes as paramedics treated Morris and transported him to a Fort Worth hospital. Four people struck when Morris fell were treated at the ballpark for minor injuries. Morris, described by friends as outgoing and kindhearted, was still a bit shocked Wednesday but was talking and making jokes, his friends said. “Tyler’s used to being the per-

son that helps other people, and now he’s in the position of needing help,” said Ben Westcott, a close friend and firefighter in the Fort Worth suburb of Watauga. “He said he’s thankful to be alive, and he knows he’s lucky.” Ryan, the Hall of Fame pitcher and Rangers’ president, said Morris welcomed his visit and was “thrilled” to receive the foul ball he tried to catch. Ryan said the incident “hasn’t lessened his enthusiasm for the Rangers.” Ryan said the ballpark’s railings were 30.25 inches tall, higher than the required 26 inches. He said the facility did not plan to raise the height of the railings. “So we feel it was strictly an accident, an unfortunate thing that happened,” Ryan said at a Wednesday news conference. “It’s pretty hard to guard against something of that nature.”

Trojans apologize to rivals; Vols won’t play USC THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Southern California has apologized to Florida, Alabama, Washington, Oregon and Fresno State for accusing those schools of breaking NCAA rules by contacting one of the Trojans’ players without permission. In a letter dated July 1 and addressed to Florida athletic director Jeremy Foley, USC AD Mike Garrett said freshman running back Dillon Baxter confirmed to Garrett that the player “did not receive a call from your institution.” “I apologize for any inconvenience or embarrassment this matter has caused to you and your institution,” Garrett wrote in a hand-signed letter.

The letter to Foley was obtained by The AP. Alabama, Washington, Oregon, and Fresno State also confirmed Wednesday that their athletic directors received apology letters from USC. ESPN.com reported USC filed a complaint with the Pac-10 in June about several schools tampering with Baxter after the Trojans were hit with NCAA sanctions. New USC coach Lane Kiffin got himself into trouble last year when he was at Tennessee for unjustly accusing Florida coach Urban Meyer of breaking NCAA recruiting rules. Kiffin later had to apologize to Meyer and the Gators. Kiffin is in his first year at USC after one tumultuous season at Tennessee, which has turned down

a chance to face USC and Kiffin in the 2011 Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game. Volunteers athletic director Mike Hamilton said Wednesday he’s been approached several times about a potential 2011 matchup in Atlanta. Hamilton said it would be too much for the Vols’ schedule, which already includes meetings with Cincinnati and North Carolina in addition to the regular SEC schedule. “We’ve got plenty to keep us busy in 2011 already,” Hamilton said. “We’re building our program back, and our schedule is tough enough. The reality of it is if it was Texas or UCLA in the game, we just couldn’t do it in 2011.” Tennessee is set to face N.C. State in the 2012 Chick-fil-A Game.

U.S. Women’s Open no longer about the hosts OAKMONT, Pa. (AP) – Maybe it’s the growth of the game internationally, or the lack of starquality golfers being groomed on American courses. Whatever the reason, there’s something missing from the U.S. Women’s Open. Namely, the U.S. When the women’s national championship starts this morning at Oakmont Country Club, temperatures will be in the 90s and the USGA’s Mike Davis estimates a few scores will be, too, in a field that includes golf-

ers from 30 countries. The number of qualifiers from Pennsylvania, the home of Arnold Palmer? Zero. An American victory in its national championship, once all but a certainty, now would be a surprise. Cristie Kerr is the only American to win in the last five years and, since 1995, there have been nearly as many South Korean champions (4) as U.S. winners (5). By comparison, Americans won all but five Women’s Opens from 1946-1994.

For every homegrown golfer like Michelle Wie who turns pro with pomp and circumstance, there are foursomes after foursomes of skilled and highly trained golfers being exported by South Korea, Japan and Thailand. “There are a lot of players that can contend to be the No. 1 player in the world,” Paula Creamer said. “Any given week,

that bunch is just so close together.” Ten of the last 15 U.S. Open winners have been non-Americans. “You cannot deny the international aspects of women’s golf – it’s very important,” Palmer said. “The kids from Korea have come on and they will all enhance the game. The American girls will have to hold their own.”

Spain eyes title

Spain’s Carles Puyol (right) flies in from the back and heads the ball to score a goal during the World Cup semifinal soccer match between Germany and Spain at the stadium in Durban, South Africa, on Wednesday. Spain prevailed 1-0 to advance. Two teammates grabbed Villa, who has scored all but two of Spain’s goals here, and carried him on their shoulders. “This is one of the greatest moments for Spain, for us to be in the final of the World Cup, it’s history,” said Villa, who remains tied with Netherlands playmaker Wesley Sneijder for the tournament scoring lead at five goals apiece. “And we want to make more history in the final.” Somebody will. Spain faces the Netherlands on Sunday at Soccer

City in Johannesburg, ensuring a first-time champion. The two teams have never met in the World Cup and their all-time series is dead even. “I am sure the Spanish can win any game,” Germany coach Joachim Loew said, “because they are dominant and it’s hard to contain their attack.” Making opponents look bad is becoming Spain’s trademark. Spain has been the best team in Europe – all the world, really – for much of the last four years. It’s lost all of two games since

Sprinter sparkles again in France REIMS, France (AP) – Alessandro Petacchi of Italy won the fourth stage of the Tour de France in a mass sprint Wednesday, with Lance Armstrong and other contenders for the overall title finishing safely in the pack. The Lampre rider collected his second stage win this Tour in the 95.4-mile ride from Cambrai to the champagne capital Reims – a mostly flat trek that was tailor-made for sprinters. Petacchi, who is competing in his first Tour since 2005, veered wide left to get a jump on three lead riders – including Thor Hushovd of Norway and Britain’s Mark Cavendish – with about 400 meters left. By the end, Petacchi had dusted them and edged Julian Dean of New Zealand in second and Edval Boasson Hagen of Norway in third. The pack was given the same time as Petacchi: 3 hours, 34 minutes, 55 seconds. Armstrong crossed 36th, defending champion Alberto Contador was 32nd and last year’s runner-up Andy Schleck placed 58th. “I’m really happy ... I had nothing to lose, and I wanted to try my chances,” said Petacchi, who won four stages in the 2004 Tour. “At this stage in my career, winning two Tour stages is really important.” The Italian veteran schooled Cavendish, who had a lead-out man with him.

The Briton, who won six Tour stages last year, hurled his bike in frustration after the stage. “I don’t think he has anything to learn from me,” the 36-year-old Petacchi said. “He won six (stages) last year.” Fabian Cancellara of Switzerland retained the yellow jersey, having recovered it during Tuesday’s ride over cobblestones – where Armstrong punctured a tire and lost precious time. The other top standings didn’t change. Among the overall contenders, two-time Tour runner-up Cadel Evans was third, 39 seconds back, Schleck was sixth, 1:09 back, Contador ninth, 1:40 back, and Armstrong 18th, 2:30 behind. Armstrong was happy to get out of Wednesday’s relatively short stage without mishap after being one of the dozens of riders to crash during a rainy second stage and the flat in Stage 3. “I didn’t want to have a third day in a row of bad luck,” he said. “(It’s) nice that everybody stayed up.” So how does he handle bad luck? “You just deal with it, make it happen,” he said, before cutting his comments short while being heckled by a nearby fan. “There’s always crashes. Days like yesterday are so extreme there’s nothing you can do.” The next big challenges loom in the Alps, starting with Sunday’s eighth stage.

November 2006. With all but two members of the starting lineup playing for either Barcelona or Real Madrid, the Spanish play with a seamlessness and fluidity that’s almost intuitive. “They have been playing together for several years, they are very cohesive, their moves come automatically,” German striker Miroslav Klose said. “They were simply the better team.” This wasn’t what the Germans envisioned after overhauling their team following the Euro loss.

Hurricanes bring back defender Corvo RALEIGH (AP) – The Carolina Hurricanes are bringing back defenseman Joe Corvo. The Hurricanes have agreed to a two-year, $4.5 million deal with Corvo, who was part of the 2009 Eastern Conference champion team in Carolina before being traded last year to Washington. Corvo will earn $2 million next year and $2.5 million the following season. Corvo, 33, missed 28 games after being cut on the right leg by a skate against the Capitals on Nov. 30. Before the injury, he led the team and was eighth in the NHL in average ice time at more than 251⁄2 minutes per game. Carolina sent Corvo to

Washington in March for two players and a draft pick in 2011. Carolina also agreed to two-way deals with left wing Nicholas Blanchard and defenseman Casey Borer on Wednesday. Blanchard earned a two-year deal that will pay him $500,000 at the

NHL level and $60,000 at the American Hockey League level next year, though there is a guarantee of at least $75,000. Borer agreed to a oneyear deal that will pay $500,000 on in the NHL and $65,000 on the AHL, though there is a guarantee of at least $75,000.

isted,” the coach added. Assistant coach Frank de Boer was a defender in 1998 when the Dutch last reached the semifinals – only to be eliminated by Brazil in a penalty shootout. He says the character of the Dutch team has changed over the years. “In ’98, we were happy just to get in the semis and could play Brazil,” he said. He noticed the same attitude among the Uruguay players Tuesday and felt a win was coming from the moment the Netherlands players first stepped on the field. “Let me give you a small example: I knew we’d win when a saw a half dozen of their players come onto the field with their cameras – and I am talking starting lineup players. They filmed the stadium, filmed the players.” “Then I knew our approach was much better,” De Boer said. “That is why it is important to keep that focus.” The Dutch coaches have the support of a talented group of players who would love nothing better than flaunt their skills. Striker Robin van Persie said the team won’t get carried away by an occasion marked by fans back home painting villages and cities orange in honor of the Dutch jersey color. “I will only realize it looking back,” Van Persie said. “Now I have this tunnel vision, and you just do what you have to do.”

DURBAN, South Africa (AP) – They pressured Germany the entire match and peppered its goalkeeper so many times a score seemed inevitable. Finally, with a mighty swing of his head that sent his long, curly locks flying, Spain’s Carles Puyol got it done. With the World Cup final in reach – and Queen Sofia cheering from the stands – La Roja came through with their best game yet. “We’ve shown that in the big moments we can grow even more,” striker David Villa said after Spain’s 1-0 semifinal victory over Germany on Wednesday night. “We should have scored more goals, but one from Puyol has put us in the final.” Spain will play for the World Cup title for the very first time, thanks to Puyol’s goal on that powerful header in the second half. The game was a repeat, down to the final score, of the 2008 European Championship final when Spain beat Germany to win its first major title in 44 years. European bragging rights are one thing. Being the world champion is something else. When the final whistle sounded, the Spanish players on the field thrust their arms in the air while the substitutes raced out to join them.

CAPE TOWN, South Africa (AP) – No style points. Winning is what matters Sunday. After losing in their two previous trips to the World Cup final, the Netherlands is determined not to let its flashy play get ahead of going home with the big prize. “We know we can play football,” Dutch captain Giovanni van Bronckhorst said. “To be mentally strong is now most important.” The Netherlands reached the 1974 and ’78 finals with some of soccer’s greatest players, but each time the host nation – West Germany and then Argentina – beat Oranje teams with a reputation for overconfidence. After Tuesday’s 3-2 semifinal win over Uruguay, coach Bert van Marwijk is determined to make sure his team’s 10-game winning streak – including six at this event – does not create the same problem. Van Marwijk’s memories of the 1974 tournament, when the Dutch thrilled the world only to fall 2-1 to the Germans, are too strong for him to let his players fall to the same weakness. “Often when we start beating people, we become overly confident and then we are sent home,” Van Marwijk said. “We did lose the match whereas we should have won because we played wonderfully.” Dutch great “Johan Cruyff was the best football player that ever ex-

Obama touts new export initiative WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama declared good progress Wednesday on his pledge to double U.S. exports over the next five years, saying the nation’s sales abroad were up 17 percent in first four months of this year. Speaking at the White House to a gathering of government and corporate officials, Obama said his administration is “bringing to bear the full resources of the United States government.” “Our efforts are off to a solid start,” he said. Obama has been emphasizing his efforts on the economy with increasing frequency lately, as fears rise that the nation’s already fragile recovery is weakening and perhaps headed to

AT&T network glitch limits iPhone speeds NEW YORK (AP) — AT&T says a software defect in its network is limiting upload speeds on the latest iPhone model in some areas. It’s the latest glitch to hit the iPhone 4, which went on sale in the U.S. two weeks ago. Last week, Apple acknowledged that holding the phone in a certain way might reduce its wireless performance, and that all iPhones show the wrong signal strength in some situations. AT&T said Wednesday a software glitch in network equipment made by Alcatel-Lucent is to blame for limiting the upload speeds of the iPhone 4. AT&T says a fix is in the works.

Kroger, Shell Oil expand fuel deal CINCINNATI (AP) — Shell Oil Co. has begun offering gas discounts to regular Kroger Co. shoppers in four Michigan markets, the first expansion of the companies’ team-up. Kroger loyalty card holders now can get 10 cents off a gallon at Shell stations in Detroit, Flint, Lansing and Saginaw for every $100 spent in Kroger stores.

Oil rises as stock market rallies NEW YORK (AP) — Oil prices climbed above $73 a barrel on Wednesday, as crude followed the stock market higher on encouraging earnings news. Benchmark crude rose $1.52 to $73.50 a barrel in midday trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Oil lost 16 cents to settle at $71.98 on Tuesday.

a second recession. Later in the week, he is scheduled to talk on the economy twice more, on a trip to Missouri and Nevada. The topic of exports is especially important because the recovery has been driven far more by sales abroad and business and government spending than it has by consumer spending. And with critical midterm elections drawing closer, the White House wants to burnish the administration’s image on the job-creation front. “At a time when jobs are in short supply,” Obama said Wednesday, “building exports is an imperative.” And yet, the president’s positive perspective comes amid some disappointing

developments that he didn’t mention. For instance, exports fell in April for the second time in three months. And there are worries that they will fall even further, as Europe’s financial crisis deepens and threatens a key market for American goods and services. In addition, home sales are plunging and factory orders are down. And June’s unemployment report showed weak private-sector job creation, with just 83,000 private sector jobs added that month. That is far short of what the economy needs — at least 200,000 jobs a month — to bring down the near doubledigit unemployment rate, which remains high — at 9.5 percent.

Vitacost appears on track despite ownership battle MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

DAVIDSON COUNTY — The tug-of-war for control of Vitacost.com Inc. has grown more intense, with its largest shareholder saying that the ouster of the chief executive could be a possibility. The proposition to Vitacost.com shareholders by Great Hill Partners, mailed last Friday, is the latest development in a power struggle months long. Great Hill owns 19.7 percent of Vitacost.com. However, analysts and local economic officials said this week that no matter the outcome, it is unlikely to derail Vitacost.com’s plans to add 227,000 square feet to its Lexington operations, along with doubling its work force to nearly 600. Great Hill said that if it takes control of the Vitacost. com board of directors, it would conduct a “comprehensive review of Vitacost. com’s business and operations and chief executive.”

Ira Kirker serves as chief executive. What makes the potential ouster of Kirker pivotal is that the decision of Davidson County and Lexington officials to offer up to $450,000 in incentives was based primarily on getting comfortable with Kirker’s growth strategy. A matching $450,000 offer is being made from the One North Carolina Fund, which is provided through the governor’s office. The company said it also is eligible for up to $2.5 million in incentives from the state based on “program eligibility.” Kathleen Reed, the director of investor relations for Vitacost.com, said “the project remains in schedule.” Steve Googe, the director of the county Economic Development Commission, said he believes that Vitacost.com is committed to expanding in Lexington no matter the outcome. “All seems to be moving along great,” with grading starting this week, Googe said.

Mortgage applications rise 7 percent WASHINGTON (AP) — Applications for home loans rose last week as consumers raced to refinance at the lowest rates in decades. The Mortgage Bankers Associations said Wednesday that overall applications increased nearly 7 percent from a week earlier. While they have been increasing in recent weeks, they remain below early 2009 levels. Applications to refinance home loans were up 9 per-

cent to the highest level since May 2009. But new mortgages taken out to purchase homes fell 2 percent. Those applications have fallen in eight out of the last nine weeks, after government tax credits that spurred home sales ended on April 30. Applications were 35 percent below last year’s levels. The average rate for a 30year fixed loan sank to 4.58 percent last week, according to Freddie Mac.

Stocks reverse negative trend NEW YORK (AP) — The Dow Jones industrials climbed back above 10,000 Wednesday after investors had second thoughts about the heavy selling in the stock market during the last two weeks. Stocks soared and the Dow rose 275 points after a modest gain Tuesday. It was the market’s first back-to-back advance since mid-June and the first close above psychological benchmark of 10,000 since June 28. But analysts warn that the buying doesn’t mean that investors are more optimistic. They said there wasn’t a single catalyst behind the move and that it looked like a case of investors scooping up stocks that had become cheaper after heavy losses. The Dow had fallen 7.3 percent over two weeks. “It’s just more of a reaction to a little bit too much negativity,” said Marc Harris, co-head of global research for RBC Capital Markets in New York. Wednesday’s big gain fit into a pattern of volatility that began in late April, when the Dow began tumbling from its 2010 high of 11,205.03. The Dow rose 274.66, or 2.8 percent, to 10,018.28. The Dow rose 57 points Tuesday. The index hasn’t risen two straight days since June 17-18. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 32.21, or 3.1 percent, to 1,060.27, and the Nasdaq composite index rose 65.59.

China IPO highlights cash squeeze SHANGHAI (AP) – Agricultural Bank of China’s $22 billion initial public offering is making headlines as potentially the world’s biggest. It is also underlining the cash squeeze Chinese banks are facing after a massive lending binge. Original forecasts had put potential proceeds from the offering at a whopping $30 billion, much more than what the bank, also known as ABC, will actually take in. But the lender had little choice about the timing. China’s banks are now strapped for cash having lent a record 9.6 trillion yuan ($1.4 trillion) in 2009 to

support Beijing’s economic stimulus. Regulators have ordered them all to shore up their balance sheets. “The IPO’s timing was not up to ABC itself. It simply has to get this IPO assignment done to raise funds in the market to fulfill its cash requirements,” said Zheng Ning, an analyst at Founder Securities in Beijing. “All the banks are facing a huge gap in cash flow, and the massive demand for capital will definitely weigh on the market in the short term,” Zheng said. ABC is selling 25.41 billion shares in Hong Kong and 22.24 billion shares in Shanghai.

EU wants Europeans to work longer BRUSSELS (AP) – A European Union report called Wednesday on Europeans to work longer to keep receiving state pensions from cashstrapped governments. The European Commission said the average retirement age in the 27-nation bloc would have to increase from the current age of 60 to 70 by 2060 if workers are to continue supporting retirees at current rates. Europe is aging as people live longer and birth

rates fall gradually. There are currently four people of working age for each person over 65. Two workers will support one retiree by 2060. Governments with mounting debt are hiking retirement ages to help reduce the expected pension shortfall. Germans will retire at 67 starting in 2029. Spain is considering a similar increase and Britain plans to hike the age to 68. There is huge public opposition across Europe.

EU lawmakers vote to cap bank bonuses BRUSSELS – European Union lawmakers have voted overwhelmingly to cap bankers’ short-term cash bonuses from next year, a move that European leaders hope other parts of the world will follow. Members of the European Parliament voted 625-28 in favor of the new rules which will become final when they are approved by EU finance ministers as expected next week. From 2011, bankers will only be able to get part of their yearly bonuses in cash upfront. The other 70 percent will be held back and paid out if the company performs well.

Germany takes legal steps against Facebook BERLIN (AP) – A German data protection official said Wednesday he launched legal proceedings against Facebook, which he accused of illegally accessing and saving personal data of people who don’t use the social networking site. Johannes Caspar said his Hamburg data protection office had initiated legal steps that could result in Facebook being fined tens of thousands of euros for saving private information of individuals who don’t use the site and haven’t

granted it access to their details. “We consider the saving of data from third parties, in this context, to be against data privacy laws,” Caspar said in a statement. Facebook has until Aug. 11 to respond formally to the legal complaint against it. Its response will determine whether the case goes further. The company, based in Palo Alto, California, did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Germans are protected by some of the world’s most strict privacy laws,

which lay out in detail how and how much of an individual’s private information may be accessed by whom. Germany also has launched an investigation into Google Inc. over its Street View mapping program. In April, Facebook changed its privacy settings to allow users to block access to the contacts listed in their email, but Caspar argues that the previously saved contacts have not been erased and are being used for marketing purposes.

Greece on track with budget cuts BRUSSELS – The European Union’s executive says Greece is “broadly on track” with budget cuts and economic reforms linked to euro110 billion ($138 billion) in bailout loans from EU nations and the International Monetary Fund. A Wednesday report by the EU says Greek efforts are “positive” but warned there a number of areas where Greece could run into trouble. It says inflation is “markedly higher” than the government expects, partly because there is little market competition and major suppliers are easily able to pass on indirect tax increases to customers.
