HIGH POINT – Of the countless hospital visits Glenn Heer endured throughout his life, this was the one he eagerly anticipated. A bone marrow transplant at the National Institute of Health would restore his battered immune system. His body would resume growing where it left off at age 11, at the height of 4-foot10. He would have the chance at “a normal life,” Glenn and his mother Candy said in May before leaving High Point for the procedure. That chance was stolen Wednesday. Glenn Heer went to bed Tuesday night in his apartment near the NIH and never awoke. He was 19 years old. “There’s always a possibility, but things felt good enough – I wasn’t worrying about it a lot,” Candy Heer said Wednesday afternoon from Bethesda while waiting for her husband, Mike, to arrive from High Point. “Things were looking good. I went in to wake him up this morning and he didn’t wake up. He was hot like he had a temper-

When he was 2 years old, his 5-year-old sister – Cassie – died of an immunodeficiency disease. Glenn’s childhood soon included regular trips to Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center’s Brenner Children’s Hospital and the NIH. This spring, Heer received the uplifting news that a bone marrow match had been found. He arrived at the NIH in May to begin preparing for the procedure, which destroyed his own malfunctioning immune system so a healthy one could grow in its place. The procedure went well. “His doctors released him,” said High Point Central golf coach Kim Stalnaker, who spoke with Glenn on a daily basis. “That was unusual. People

Several schools score big on state tests BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

Inside...

GUILFORD COUNTY – Several High Point area schools showed doubledigit gains on state 2010 tests, according to preliminary results released this week. Overall, district students made positive gains in all end-of-grade subjects. Among elementary schools, Kirkman Park Elementary’s composite score for reading, math and science was up 10 points on endof-grade testing. Montlieu Math and Science Academy’s composite score was up 17 points and Oak Hill climbed 16 points. Only Union Hill Elementary scored a doubledigit drop of 11 points to 45 percent proficient. “We still have a ways to go,” Superintendent Mo Green told the

Performance focus pays off for Montlieu Academy. 2A High Point area schools EOG, EOC scores. 2A Guilford County Board of Education. “I expect all schools to be schools of distinction. We want to bring all schools up.” State officials could release the district list of schools of excellence and distinction as soon as next month. Based on the preliminary scores, the state could choose five district schools for excellence and as many as 20 as schools of distinction, Green said. “And that would be beyond our 2012 goal,” he said.

EOGs are given at the end of the year in grades three through eight in reading, math and science. Across the grades, the endof-grade composite for the subjects for third-graders was down .2 to 72 percent proficient and up 3.1 for fourth grade to 75 percent, up 2 points for fifth grade to 70 percent and up 1.5 for sixth grade to 76 percent. In seventh grade, the score advanced a half-point to 72 percent and 3.6 points in eighth grade to 72 percent. Middle schools kept their positions with only Ferndale down 2 points on the end-of-grade tests. The Academy at Central High School led local high schools with a gain of 20 points on end-of-course tests. Only the Middle College at Guilford Technical Community College in High Point was down with

a 2 point drop from last year. End-of-course tests are given in eight subject areas for middle and high school students. Across the district, students produced gains in all eight EOC subjects in 2010. The district also made gains in closing the achievement gap between minority and white students. The composite score gap has narrowed by 2.3 points between black and white students on the EOG tests and by 6.3 points on the EOC tests. “Minorities are catching up with whites at an accelerating rate,” said Gongshu Zhang, chief research and accountability officer. The gap decreased by 2 points between Hispanic and white students on EOG tests and 5 points on EOC exams. dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

Thomasville superintendent’s contract extended BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

THOMASVILLE – Keith Tobin will continue to lead Thomasville City Schools for at least the next four years. Tobin, the system’s superintendent, recently was given a four-year contract extension by the Thomasville Board of Education. Tobin, who makes about $147,000 annually, got a 6 percent merit bonus along with the contract extension. Based on an assessment that will be conducted on the superintendent, the

to Tobin, school officials said. “One of the things we did when we first brought him on as superintendent was have the expectations that we would see improvements,” board Chairman Jeff Kirkland said. “We felt that we have had a lot of significant improvements ... We definitely feel comfortable that we got the right man for the job.” Tobin, who has been with Thomasville City Schools since 1984, took over as superintendent in July 2008 after Daniel Cockman retired. Tobin, who left his post as as-

sistant superintendent to take the lead position, had previously worked in various capacities in the system as a teacher, football coach, track coach, assistant principal and principal. Tobin said he’s happy to get the renewal. “Any time you get a vote of confidence, it means a lot,” he said. “This is home. This is a community I have been in for 26 years. It just means a great deal to have the confidence of the board and the school system to be able to do the job to help folks out.” Entering his third year

as the system’s superintendent, Tobin feels like the system is heading in the right direction. “I think we have got some programs that I think are going to make a difference and move our kids forward,” he said. “What I want to do is make sure that we see our children be successful after they leave us ... I want them to be successful citizens. That means teaching that whole child and making sure they are getting the academics, as well as the health and wellness.” dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

Elementary Schools Composite Scores (Reading, math and science End-of-Grade Tests)

BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Montlieu Math and Science Academy had a lot going for it this year. The elementary school, which offers a magnet emphasis, became a partner with High Point University for a student mentoring program. As a low-performing school, Montlieu qualified for additional assistance for needy schools. A reinforced positive behavior program improved attendance. It all came together to produce a 17-point gain on state 2010 end-of-grade composite scores released this week. “Our goal was to make high growth, but that score was more than we expected,” said principal Jill Hill. “We were surprised a little, but we worked hard.” Teachers formed small student groups for reading and math and spent more time developing their classroom instruction, Hill said. School district leaders are hoping that improved state test scores will mean that Montlieu and nine other schools will come off the district list of low performers. Fairview Elementary, Parkview Elementary and T. Wingate Andrews High School also are on the list. “The low-performing schools were a critical focus for us,” Superintendent Mo Green told the Board of Education. “We raised expectations for the educators.” A leading district goal is to have no low-performing schools by 2012. “It will be good to get rid

DAVIDSON COUNTY – A man pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in the death of a 21-monthold baby who died last November. Travis Christopher Lemmond, 20, was taken into custody Feb. 8 by sheriff’s detectives with assistance from the Union County Sheriff’s Office at his home in the Union County town of Mineral Springs. He was arrested and charged with first-degree murder and felony child abuse inflicting serious bodily injury in the death of Lily Grace Crowell. He was taken back to Davidson County, where he was processed and jailed without bond. The charges Lemmond faces stem from Nov. 20, when deputies were called to the Lexington Memorial Hospital emergency department in reference to a 21-month-old child who had been brought in and pronounced dead on arrival. Doctors unsuccessfully attempted to resuscitate the child, and detectives were called to the hospital shortly after the

original report to begin an investigation into the child’s death, which occurred at a Meadowcreek Drive apartment in Lexington, according to the sheriff’s office. Detectives conducted interviews with several family members and collected evidence. The child’s body was sent to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Chapel Hill for an autopsy. Under the guilty plea, Lemmond faces only a second-degree murder charge, according to WXII-12 News. The chid abuse charge was dropped, the television station reported. Lily’s relative, Donna Prow, told WXII-12 News that Lemmond shouldn’t be allowed to plead guilty to lesser charges. “As Lily’s family, we want there to be a voice for her. She deserves that,” Prow said. Lemmond has been out of jail after posting a $150,00 bond. His sentencing hearing is scheduled for Aug. 30. Lily’s mother and Lemmond are still together, WXII-12 News reported.

CHAPEL HILL (AP) – A federal investigator says the plane that crashed at a North Carolina airport bounced on the runway three times before it veered into a tree. WNCN-TV in Raleigh reported that National Transportation Safety Board investigator Corky Smith said one of the plane’s passengers said the aircraft touched down and went airborne three times at Horace Williams Airport in Chapel Hill. Pilot Thomas Pitts then increased to full power and the plane veered left. Pitts was killed. Two people were injured, including Kyle Henn, who was flying from Delaware to North Carolina to join his family after his brother, Nate Henn, was killed in terrorist bombings in Uganda last Sunday. A spokesman at UNC Hospitals said Kyle Henn was released on Wednesday, while co-pilot James Donahue remained hospitalized in critical condition.

Arab TV airs video of Times Square bomber CAIRO – The man who pleaded guilty to carrying out the attempted Times Square car bombing appeared in a video recorded before the failed attack that shows him meeting with senior Pakistani Taliban leaders and vowing to strike the U.S. In the video, aired in segments Wednesday by the Dubai-based television station Al-Arabiya, Faisal Shahzad said the attack on the New York City landmark would avenge the deaths of Muslims killed in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Libyan ship with aid for Gaza reaches Egypt EL-ARISH, Egypt – A Libyan aid ship blocked by Israeli missile ships from steaming to Gaza reached an Egyptian port Wednesday, bringing an end to the latest challenge to Israel’s naval embargo of the Palestinian territory. The director of the Egyptian port of el-Arish, Gamal Abdel Maqsoud, said the Libyan boat radioed Wednesday evening asking permission to dock there.

EU suggests ban on new deepwater drilling BRUSSELS – The European Union’s top energy official on Wednesday suggested banning any new deep-water oil and gas exploration projects in the North Sea, Black Sea and the Mediterranean while regulators examine safety risks. The U.S. banned offshore drilling in April in the wake of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill from a well operated by BP PLC – and is now trying to maintain the six-month ban despite legal challenges.

Brazil bill would outlaw parental spankings SAO PAULO – In Brazil, a swat to your child’s bottom could soon get you slapped with a warning. President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva sent a bill to Congress on Wednesday proposing that Brazil join the two dozen or so countries around the world that have moved to curb spanking. While a law on the books already makes it illegal to abuse children, the new measure explicitly prohibits parents and guardians from using corporal punishment.

Beijing starts gating, locking migrant villages BEIJING – The government calls it “sealed management.� China’s capital has started gating and locking some of its lower-income neighborhoods overnight, with police or security checking identification papers around the clock, in a throwback to an older style of control. It’s Beijing’s latest effort to reduce rising crime often blamed on the millions of rural Chinese migrating to cities for work.

Iraq faces new test in US handover of last prison BAGHDAD (AP) – The U.S. military has handed over Tariq Aziz and dozens of other members of Saddam Hussein’s inner circle to Iraqi authorities who will assume control today of the last American-run detention facility in the country. Although the Americans will continue to hold 200 problematic detainees, the changing of the guard at Camp Cropper will mean the end of a mammoth U.S. prison system that has processed more than 100,000 Iraqis in the sev-

en years since the fall of Baghdad. It will also close a chapter Aziz on one of the most bitter legacies of the war, the shocking images in 2004 of prisoners being abused by American soldiers at Abu Ghraib. For Iraq, the transfer of detainees marks a milestone on the road to full sovereignty. But it also puts to the test a democratically elected government.

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) – American forces suffered a deadly 24 hours in Afghanistan, with eight troops killed in attacks including an audacious Taliban raid on a police compound in the key southern city of Kandahar, officials said Wednesday. The U.S. and its coalition allies have warned that violence and troop casualties are likely to mount this summer as thousands of new forces fan out across southern insurgent strongholds in a bid to turn around the nearly 9-year-long war. However, a top U.S. commander in the south said Wednesday that the new operation should start reducing violence in coming months.

A reveler runs in front of a Jandilla ranch fighting bull during the San Fermin fiestas in Pamplona, Wednesday.

9 injured, 3 by goring, in Spain’s final bull run PAMPLONA, Spain – Nine thrill-seeking runners were injured, three by goring, in a dangerous last running of the bulls at Spain’s San Fermin festival, officials said Wednesday. It was the bloodiest run of this year’s festival. Bulls tossed people on the slippery cobblestone streets of Pamplona, where a red bull at the tail of the pack fell and became separated from the rest, leaving it disoriented and irritated by the large crowds, and causing panic among runners.

Gary Phaneuf of Staten Island is escorted from a Landmarks Commission hearing on a controversial proposal to build a mosque near the site of the World Trade Center, after causing a disturbance at the hearing Tuesday in New York.

Panel: Diabetes drug should stay on market WASHINGTON – GlaxoSmithKline’s drug Avandia should stay on the market, health experts voted Wednesday, but the controversial diabetes pill should be subject to new restrictions due to risky heart side effects. A panel of Food and Drug Administration advisers voted 20-12 to keep the pill available for diabetics.

Documents: Teen says he raped 5-year-old girl ROSEBURG, Ore. – A teenage boy charged with the rape and murder of a 5-year-old girl told police he suffocated the child after she woke up while he was sexually abusing her, according to a court document. Dustin Wallace, 16, told investigators Sahara Dwight, who was asleep, jerked away when he started touching her Friday, according to a affidavit filed by Roseburg police Detective Daniel Knott and released this week.

Officers plead not guilty in Katrina shootings NEW ORLEANS – Three police officers charged in the killing of two unarmed residents on a New Orleans bridge after Hurricane Katrina and a cover-up that followed pleaded not guilty on Wednesday.

Opponents pack hearing on mosque near ground zero NEW YORK (AP) – Dozens of opponents and some supporters of a mosque planned near ground zero attended a raucous hearing Tuesday about whether the building where the Muslim place of worship would be created warrants designation as a city landmark and should be protected from development. Republican gubernatorial candidate Rick Lazio, who has sought an investigation into the funding of the mosque, was among the witnesses who testified in support of giving the building land-

mark status, which could complicate plans by Muslim groups to develop a community center and mosque there. After noting the lower Manhattan building’s history and architectural significance, Lazio said it also warranted landmark designation because on Sept. 11, 2001, it was struck by airplane debris from the terror attacks against the nearby World Trade Center. That connection to the attacks, he said, made it “a place of deep historical significance and a reminder of just what happened on New York’s darkest day.�

NEW ORLEANS (AP) – BP allayed lastminute government fears of making the disaster worse and began testing the new, tighter-fitting cap Wednesday that could finally choke off the oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico. Retired Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen said the government gave the go-ahead after carefully reviewing the risks. “What we didn’t want to do is compound that problem by making an irreversible mistake,� he said at the end of a 24-hour roller-coaster of hopes raised, hopes dashed and hopes raised again. The cap was lowered onto the well Monday in hopes of either bottling up the oil inside the well machinery, or capturing it and funneling it to the surface.

Obama didn’t want Berwick’s radical views known The recess appointment of Dr. Donald Berwick by President Obama to head Medicare and Medicaid gives the American people a more accurate picture of what they can expect from Obamacare. Obama and the Democrats did not want any hearings on this appointment before the elections and have Berwick’s many radical views discussed. Berwick is an expert on health care rationing, wealth redistribution and end of life care decisions based on cost. Berwick is a strong proponent of the singlepayer British health care system. Berwick is another one of the many liberal Harvard elitists that President Obama has in his administration. Berwick will oversee Medicare and Medicaid that provide health care for 100 million people and will also be the person to cut $500 billion from Medicare without affecting health care for seniors. Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., was upset by this recess appointment even before any hearings had been scheduled. Senate conformation of presidential appointees is an essential process prescribed by the Constitution that serves as

YOUR VIEW

a check on executive power, said Baucus. The Senate is quickly becoming irrelevant as the White House goes around them on appointments and the naming of many czars. The Constitution and “the rule of law” mean nothing to this bunch in the White House. Obamacare bureaucrats will define “best practices” using population-based research. This will create government approved standards for the practice of medicine, even when a doctor thinks the treatment is not best for an individual patient. The Democrats also decided to increase the fine from $10,000 to $50,000 per incident for any Medicare physician who fails to comply with treatment guidelines or paperwork. Obamacare will cost hundreds of billions more than the Democrats lead us to believe, and there will still be 23 million uninsured Americans. Many Americans will also loose the health care they are very satisfied with. REGIS KLINE Trinity

School board wants to keep public in the dark I note in the editorial of July 6 that the North Carolina Open Meetings Law was flaunted, ignored and arrogantly bypassed by the Guilford County Board of Education at 6 p.m. on Thursday, July 1. The announcement of this meeting was made beforehand, on June 28, to be held in the board room of the administrative offices. The High Point Enterprise’s reporter David Nivens was there at the appointed time to report on the business of this meeting. The meeting door was locked and hall lights were out. No notice of this being a closed session according to permitted exceptions to the law. This whole fiasco is disgusting on the part of the Guilford County Board of Education. We are waiting to see what outcry should be coming for the board’s locked up mentality. The taxpay-

ers of Guilford County should make a note of this transgression of the law by the school board. HENRY SHAVITZ High Point

OUR MISSION

Founded in 1883 Michael B. Starn Publisher

OUR VIEW

reliminary results of the state’s 2010 end of year tests are producing some good news for the Guilford County Schools. Most schools in the district will see positive results when the final scores are reported by the state in a few weeks, county school officials said this week. District Superintendent Mo Green was rightly happy this week with news of the preliminary results. “Our district staff and students have shown an increased commitment to education excellence, and their hard work is to be commended and celebrated,” Green said. According to reports, 88 of the district’s 113 schools made gains in overall proficiency on the year-end tests. That’s nearly 75 percent of the district’s schools showing improvements. That does, however, also mean that about 25 percent of schools didn’t show positive results. So obviously, there is still plenty of room for improvement for Guilford’s schools. It’s also good news that all nine schools in the county’s Enrichment Region showed improved scores. Those nine schools scattered across the county, including Montlieu Elementary, T. W. Andrews High and Welborn Academy of Science and Technology in High Point, were placed in the Enrichment Region where improving academic performance gets special attention. Additionally, all 10 schools that were labeled last year as low-performing showed gains in scores, including High Point’s Oak Hill Elementary. It seems evident from these scores that the school district’s programs to identify lower-performing schools and focus more attention and resources on them are having some success. Some don’t like these programs for a variety of reasons, but it’s hard to slam this approach for nearly any reason when the programs are shown to be working. Now the task is to keep the 75 percent of schools moving upward while at the same time focusing on that 25 percent and bringing them up to high achievement levels. That’s not a simple goal, but it’s what we all expect from Green, his teachers and staff and Guilford County’s students and their parents.

For future’s historians: This was LeBron James

A

n open letter to 24th century historians. I’ve left this note for you as a public service. Three hundred years from now, when you study the things that dominated American thought in the summer of 2010, I suspect one pressing question will rise above all others: Who the heck was LeBron James? I’m here to answer that for you but first, let me say how very cool it is (cool was a slang term we used to indicate that a thing was good) to find myself addressing you like this. The idea that you might stumble across these words in some archive of the future, that you might be reading this letter (or absorbing it through your skin or however it is you process text in your era, assuming you still do) long after I am dead fills me with questions. I wonder: What is the state of health care in 2310? Is interplanetary travel now routine? Did BP ever get that oil leak fixed? Of course, unless you’ve invented time travel (you haven’t, have you?) there’s no way for you to answer my questions. So let me get down to business and answer yours. Who was LeBron James? Some of you probably think he was a wizard, a mystic, or some minor league deity. You’d base that conclusion on press reports indicating that his decision to withdraw himself from a place called “Cleveland” left that region staggering, devastated, bereft of its civic will to live and ripe for plundering by roving bands of “Lakers,” “Celtics” and “Bulls.” Well, he wasn’t some minor god. Some of you probably think he was a great general who betrayed his own troops in battle. You’d base that conclusion on a letter a man named Dan Gilbert posted on the website (do you still have websites?) of an organization he owned called the “Cleveland Cavaliers.” In it, he accused this LeBron James of cowardice, disloyalty, heartlessness, selfishness, callousness and traitorousness – and even put a curse on him. So I can understand how you’d figure LeBron James was a military leader, but he wasn’t that, either. Some of you probably think he was a human

OPINION Leonard Pitts ■■■

rights icon who took some bold stand for freedom. You’d base that conclusion on a statement from a man named Jesse Jackson Sr., who accused Gilbert of treating James like “a runaway slave.” Of course, Gilbert was said to be willing to pay James $125 million over six years for his services; I don’t know how it is in your era, but that was a lot of money back in 2010 – way more than one makes as a slave. So no, LeBron James wasn’t a human

rights icon. Some of you have no idea who he was, but from the way we in this era couldn’t stop talking about him, from all the anger, argument and invective his name stirred, you believe he must have been a figure of transformational importance in world history. He wasn’t. And yes, I’ll keep my promise to answer your question, but I have to say, the answer is embarrassing. It speaks to the propensity we had in my era for aggrandizing the trivial. And to our tendency to lose all perspective. And to our occasional inability to tell the difference between that which diverts or amuses us and that which defines our entire self worth. So, who was LeBron James? He was a basketball player. In the summer of 2010, he announced his decision to leave a team that played in “Cleveland” to join another in a city called “Miami.” He did this on a television special (do you still have TV?) some regarded as a monument to his ego and exaggerated sense of his own importance. So there you have it. LeBron James was a guy who played basketball. To anticipate your next question: basketball was a game invented by a man named James Naismith back in 1891. We used to enjoy watching and playing it. It was fun. LEONARD PITTS JR., winner of the 2004 Pulitzer Prize for commentary, is a columnist for the Miami Herald. E-mail lpitts@miamiherald.com.

A wonder of nature lights up our summer

Here’s some ‘boring’ economic information worth knowing point is valid – all that money creation didn’t translate into higher standards of living. To give you an example of the decline in purchasing power of our feeble fiat Federal Reserve Notes, consider the price of mailing a first-class letter. A stamp cost three cents 50 years ago, so you could mail 33 letters for a dollar. Today, a stamp costs 44 cents, more than 14 times as much, so it would cost you 14.52 Federal Reserve Notes to mail 33 letters. However, if you happen to have a U.S. silver dollar, it is still worth enough to pay for mailing approximately 33 letters today (.77 ounces of silver at $19/oz). Moral: paper currency’s purchasing power melts away; real money retains purchasing power. Shifting gears, another chart that caught my eye recently depicted the diminishing marginal productivity of debt. I wrote about this very problem two years ago. What we have seen as a long-term national trend is that, as debt continues to mount, it takes more and more dollars of debt to produce a dollar’s worth of wealth. Due to the financial crackup of the last few years, we have already passed the point of debt saturation – that is, additional dollars of debt produce no net increase of wealth. In fact, data for 2009 tell a distressing story: Each new dollar of debt was accompanied by a net reduction in GDP. In fact, at year-end, each new dollar of debt subtracted 45 cents from GDP (source: U.S. Treasury Z1 Flow of Funds report, 3/11/10). Remember this the next time you hear some economist claiming that Uncle Sam should run even larger deficits to “stimulate� the economy. Related to the debt saturation issue are two startling charts that

t’s easy to be overwhelmed by the bewildering array of economic data, statistics, charts and graphs floating around. Often, we economists can’t see the forest for the trees. It’s hard to figure out what is truly significant and what is background noise. Having made that disclaimer, I offer some data that merit your contemplation. First are some figures published by Ken Gerbino showing the longterm decline of our currency’s purchasing power. From 1950 through 1965, U.S. gross domestic product increased nearly 160 percent and the M2 money supply rose nearly 180 percent. With the money supply rising slightly faster than GDP, there was a relatively modest increase in prices, that is to say, a relatively small decline in the purchasing power of Federal Reserve Notes. From 1980 through 2008, GDP increased about 150 percent (a slower growth rate than during the earlier, smaller-government period), but M2 expanded over 450 percent. From this we may conclude that juicing the money supply does not translate into real wealth. If anything, the accommodative (i.e., inflationary) policies of the Federal Reserve have been accompanied by weaker economic growth. Another table published by Gerbino shows that the U.S. money supply rose from $626 billion in 1970 to $8.2 trillion in 2008, a 1,216 percent increase. During the same time frame, the median income of U.S. households increased a mere 32 percent. I would argue that the 32 percent figure – though true – isn’t completely accurate, because the average household is smaller today. However, the basic

I have seen in multiple sources. One plotted the growth of federal spending, the other the growth of federal debt. Both charts show arrows zooming upward at an accelerating rate. Such chart patterns are familiar to experienced investors. The line on the chart resembles a parabola. From time to time, a certain investment will “go parabolic� (e.g., Internet stocks in 1999, gold in 1980). When a chart goes parabolic, it is flashing a danger signal. The piper is about to be paid. Parabolas represent the blow-off stage of a bubble. Such rapidly accelerating increases, whether in an investment or the amount of a government’s spending or debt, are unsustainable. A devastating bust must follow. The parabolic charts of government spending and debt point to a wrenching crash ahead. (If I were a prophet and not just an economist, I could tell you when. For more information, see one of 2009’s most important books, “This Time It’s Different,� by Reinhart and Rogoff.) The sovereign debt crisis that is rumbling through Europe today, sooner or later, will hit home. It won’t be pretty. The sovereign debt crisis might trigger another parabolic blow-off: this one of the Federal Reserve Note, if the Fed follows the recommendations of Keynesian economists like Paul Krugman and implements “quantitative easing� on steroids (that is, hyperinflation). Let’s all hope that I’m reading the economic tea leaves incorrectly. MARK W.

of a firefly’s energy source is given off as light. Compare that to a LESSONS normal LEARNED electric light bulb Paula that gives Williams off only ■■■10 percent of its energy as light while 90 percent is wasted as heat. Imagine what would happen if the firefly got as warm as a light bulb! I think God takes great delight in the joy it brings to a child to hold a bioluminescent beetle in his little hand. If you are an adult and have not tried it in a while, I highly recommend that you make your own bug jar and get ready to have some fun right around dusk. Better yet, engage a child you know in this wonderful summer activity. So even though I am not getting paid (yes, it is true that teachers do not get paid for June and July – summer is not paid vacation!), I am enjoying the break from routine that summer affords. Sam Keen said that deep summer is when laziness finds respectability. Let’s hope he is right! And my favorite summer quote? An old Swedish proverb: A life without love is like a year without summer.

t has been said that a perfect summer day is when the sun is shining, the breeze is blowing (and it’s not 99 degrees), the birds are singing, the flowers are blooming and the lawn mower is broken. I would add that a perfect summer evening is when the lightning bugs glow at dusk! This past Saturday evening with all my big kids and little grandkids at the house, we made ourselves a bug jar by punching holes in the lid of a tall glass jar and proceeded out to the front yard at dusk. It was so much fun to watch the children as they caught and filled the jar with the glowing bugs. That is a favorite childhood memory for me, as well, so I really love it when I get to participate even now. Whether you call them lightning bugs or fireflies, those tiny bugs with luminous behinds are actually beetles! They produce light via a chemical reaction call bioluminescence. Why? Most scientists think perhaps it is a warning signal to potential predators that they taste bad because they have defensive chemicals in their bodies. Others think they are actually little glowworm motor cops zipping around with flashlights snapping on and off, directing bugland traffic. (Just kidding! That is actually the premise of a children’s poem called “Flashlights in the Dark� by Frances Gorman Risser.) Fireflies have a very efficient light source. Just about 100 percent

WASHINGTON (AP) – Former Vice President Dick Cheney disclosed Wednesday that he has undergone surgery to install a small pump to help his heart work, as the 69-year-old enters a new phase of what he called “increasing congestive heart failure.� “The operation went very well and I am now recuperating,� a stillhospitalized Cheney said in a statement.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – The Revs. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are trying to steer attention away from an NAACP resolution condemning racism within the tea party movement. Jackson deflected the issue Wednesday during the annual convention of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Sharpton suggested people should be asking if the tea party is “trying to change the equation that is going to protect us.� The civil rights leaders say the focus should be on jobs and an upcoming march in Washington. Delegates at the Kansas City convention approved a resolution Tuesday calling on tea party activists and others to “repudiate the racist element and activities� within the movement. Tea party organizers are disputing claims of racism and want the resolution withdrawn. Though not affiliated with either major political party, tea party activists espouse a political philosophy of less government, a free market, lower taxes, individual rights and political activism.

Frozen yogurt bar expands to High Point

Ryan Brown, a rising senior majoring in mathematics and actuarial science with a minor in statistics at High Point University, is spending his summer interning as an office clerk in the finance department for the Department of Justice. Brown checks in travel vouchers from attorneys’ offices and legal divisions throughout the U.S. to reimburse and log travel expenses.

HIGH POINT – The owners of the first self-serve frozen yogurt bar in Greensboro opened their shop in the cold month of February so they could start out slow and learn the business as they went along. But, as they would discover, customers had other plans. “I never thought we would have been opening a second location this soon,” said Colleen Hodges, owner of Feeney’s Frozen Yogurt. “The more we researched this idea

The crowds kept coming.” Hodges, along with her brother, Tom Lindsey, are renovating a space on Skeet Club Road in the Harris Teeter shopping complex in High Point to open the second Feeney’s Frozen Yogurt. They said they hope to open by early August.

Feeney’s Frozen Yogurt owner Colleen Hodges stands with brother, Tom Lindsey, who will be the general manager at the High Point store. Hodges said the name “Feeney” comes from her grandmother’s maiden name, and going out for yogurt was a tradition with her, her mother and grandmother. But a visit to California, where selfserve yogurt bars are common, inspired her to open one in the area. “I’ve been a big fan of yogurt for forever and a day,” said Hodges, a former furniture showroom designer. “I saw a lot of different ways of doing a yogurt shop in Califor-

DAVIDSON COUNTY – A 23-day-old boy has died after the car his mother was driving ran off the road Tuesday night and plunged into a creek off Happy Hill Road. WXII-12 News reported that the vehicle, driven by 18-year-old Amanda Green, flipped over in the creek and came to a rest on its top, partially submerged in the water. The baby, Remington Lee Curry, was in a child safety seat, but troopers said the seat became dislodged and the child floated free. Neighbors near the

crash site told WXII-12 News that they heard a loud crash and went outside to see Green frantically searching for the child. The neighbors, along with emergency responders, began searching the creek, but initially couldn’t find the child because it was so dark. According to the N.C.

The wreck is still under investigation.

nia. Self-serve yogurt bars are becoming more popular.” When a customer enters the store, they choose their cup size small or large - and pile it with any of the eight available flavors of yogurt and 45 toppings. The customer is then charged by the ounce. Hodges said the store offers hundreds of flavors that change daily, including key lime tart, low fat blueberry pomegranate and German

chocolate cake. Nutritional information for each flavor also is posted in the store. High Point was the next viable option for the store because Hodges said customers from the city often drive to Greensboro, where the first shop is located on New Garden Road, for the yogurt. The new High Point location also will be significantly larger than the Greensboro location at 2,600 square

feet, and it includes a private party room. The stores also have a bright, trendy design created by Hodges. About 15 people will be hired when the store opens, she said. “We’re just excited to be in High Point,” she said. “We have a huge following all over. We have over 4,000 fans on our Facebook page, but we have a lot of fans in High Point.” phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

High Point, Archdale candidate filing ends Friday BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – Only two High Point municipal races in this year’s election remained uncontested Wednesday after challenger Ronald Fowler filed in Ward 3 to take on Councilman Mike Pugh. Pugh filed earlier this year for another term in Ward 3. The only races left with one candidate are Ward 1 and Ward 4. In Ward 1, challenger Jeffrey Golden filed earlier this month for the seat now held by Councilwoman Bernita Sims. The High Point Enterprise hasn’t been able to reach Sims about her electoral intentions. Challenger A.B. Hen-

ley is the only candidate in Ward 4. The seat is being vacated after this year by Bill Bencini, who will depart council to become a Guilford County commissioner after the general election. High Point voters already are assured of contested races for mayor, the two at-large City Council seats and four of the ward contests. In contrast to High Point, where 12 challengers have filed, only the incumbents have cast their lots in Archdale. Through Wednesday, Archdale Mayor Bert Lance Stone and Councilmen Larry Warlick, Lewis Dorsett and Eddie Causey were the only candidates who had filed

to run in the northern Randolph County city. The candidate filing period for the High Point and Archdale municipal elections continues through noon Friday. 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. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

Childress buys majority interest in center ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

WELCOME – Richard Childress has purchased a majority interest in The Shoppes at Vineyard Crossing, and the land on which it’s located, from investment group Vineyard Ventures LLC. The Shoppes at Vine-

yard Crossing is the 25,000-square-foot retail shopping center located at the junction of Highways 52 and 64 in Lexington, just outside the entrance to Childress Vineyards. The land on which it is located originally was owned by Childress as part of the land he bought for Childress

Vineyards, but was sold in June 2005 to Vineyard Ventures for development. Childress has never been an owner, minority or otherwise, in The Shoppes. “We plan to make a great deal of changes right away, from working to increase the overall visibility of The Shoppes

to providing both current and future tenants with restructured and more competitive lease rates,� said Childress, president and CEO of Richard Childress Racing and proprietor of Childress Vineyards. “The cosmetic changes to the facility have already begun and will create a much

more appealing view for potential customers traveling on Highways 52 and 64. The next step, which is already under way, is to attract businesses in both the retail and service industries. One of our top priorities in that effort is locating a restaurant at The Shoppes.�

ear Abby: Nineteen-year-old “Hopeless in Chandler, Ariz.,� (May 21) said he doesn’t know what he wants to do with his life. When I was his age, I didn’t know what I wanted to do, either. I didn’t want to go to college, the military didn’t interest me, and nothing I could think of seemed appealing. My parents had factory jobs – Dad in quality control and Mom in assembly. They talked me into filling out an application at the plant. I did so grudgingly, and was hired. I figured I’d stay one or two years and then find something I liked better. This September I’ll have worked there 32 years. I have survived layoffs and reorganizations, a move to another town and the sale of the product line I started on. I consider the job I’m doing now to be my dream job, and I enjoy going to work every day. My advice to “Hopeless� is to try something he may think he won’t like, give it a chance, and see how he feels in a couple of years. He may be surprised by what he discovers. – Happy And Satisfied in Ohio Dear Happy: Great advice! It never hurts to give something a try before deciding you don’t like it. Read on for more suggestions: Dear Abby: I would encourage “Hopeless� to take college transfer courses at a community college. This often leads to finding an interest.

Volunteer and/or get a part-time job. If nothing else, those experiences can eliminate ADVICE some fields of endeavDear or or spark Abby an interest ■■■in something he has not yet considered. – Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor in Murphy, N.C. Dear Abby: “Hopeless� should sign with a temp agency. I worked as a temp during my college breaks and was introduced to various office settings, technologies and career opportunities. One summer’s temporary placement – answering phones and doing clerical work – led to a higher-level position the following summer after graduation. I took it and couldn’t have been happier. “Hopeless� shouldn’t wait for others to tell him what he should do – he should just get out there and do it! If nothing else, he may discover what he does NOT want to do and can direct his college course accordingly. – Barbara in Katy, Texas Dear Abby: Life is what happens while you’re busy making plans. “Hopeless� should choose something he enjoys doing, do it well and enjoy the experience. Most important, he should stick with it until he’s sure a change is needed. Career plan-

ning works for some, but for most people life has a funny way of taking us down roads we never saw coming. – “Doc� in Los Osos, Calif. Dear Abby: Twenty years ago I never would have thought of becoming a professional organizer, but that’s what I am now. This is not a career that appears in any career counselor’s tests, but I’m sure you wouldn’t find many unusual careers in a book or test. I advise “Hopeless� to join volunteer groups and ask friends if they need help with anything. He may discover an aptitude for something he wasn’t aware he possessed. – Jan in Carlsbad, Calif. Dear Abby: There are hundreds of jobs that provide a good living – plumber, electrician, bricklayer, construction worker, appliance repairman, stonemason. The list goes on. These are jobs that keep the world spinning and keep us in the comforts we enjoy. If “Hopeless� doesn’t know what he wants, he might consider taking a year to work with AmeriCorps, the Peace Corps or Habitat for Humanity. If he uses his imagination, he can make a difference in the world. – Keeping It Real in New Hampshire DEAR ABBY is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

FAYETTEVILLE (AP) – A North Carolina man faces a charge of felony animal cruelty after his wife said he tried to set on fire their pit bull because he was tired of caring for the puppy, according to authorities. The 9-week-old pit bull named Red was being treated at the Cumberland County Animal Shelter. Sheriff’s spokeswoman Debbie Tanna said a woman flagged down a deputy Monday morning and said her husband had tried to set the dog on fire after the couple had argued. Tony Brian Knolle, 24, who is charged with felony animal cruelty had first first court appearance on Tuesday. Sheriff’s Detective Jonathan Perkins said it was unclear what was used to set fire to the dog because investigators found no evidence of flammable liquid. Red suffered singed fur, blisters and scrapes, along with gashes along his left hip and leg.

Let’s work on our own backyard

I

want to preface my comments with the fact that I did indeed grow up in a Third World country and underscore that I was irrevocably changed by this experience. As a child I witnessed beggars in the marketplace and watched children my own age rummaging through dumpsters seeking GIVING 101 food. Because Paul of this I Lessard have al■■■ways had a heart for serving the poor, which was encouraged and nurtured by my parents. I believe in sharing our blessings; however, I also feel very strongly that charity must always begin at home. Many do not understand that we have Third World poverty right here in High Point. There are children who go to bed at night hungry, who lack basic health care and who have never owned a new pair of shoes. In a community as blessed as ours, this is simply unacceptable. Poverty is not only a physical concept; it is also a mind-set, and what makes it most dangerous is that it has an insidious way of limiting a young person’s vision of what is possible if they are willing to work hard enough for it. It is nearly impossible for a youngster to envision economic achievement and independence when they are hungry, sick and exposed to nothing but a welfare/ entitlement mentality. This environment neither nurtures nor inspires, and the harshness of poverty not only causes hunger and want, it also breaks the spirit and in time extinguishes the will. We have always been known for taking care of our own, and because of the dramatic shift in our economy, we now have a significant segment of our population that is under-educated and difficult to employ. We must address these issues if we are going to move forward as a community, and it has to be done in a manner that encourages personal initiative and drive. We need to couple assistance with self-help bootstrap programs that encourage education and self sufficiency. Let’s focus on our own backyard, build back our own tax base, and raise a new generation of kids who understand the difference between a handout and a hand-up. PAUL LESSARD, a recipient of the Carnegie Hero Medal and a catalyst for the growth of community outreach programs, is president of the High Point Community Foundation, phone 882-3298.

Rosacea can redden sufferer’s nose, cheeks and forehead

D

ear Dr. Donohue: The tip of my husband’s nose and his cheeks have become noticeably red this past year. People ask me – half kidding, half serious – if he’s been drinking heavily. He doesn’t touch alcohol. This doesn’t bother him, but it bothers me. What is this? – N.D.

BLONDIE

The probable culprit is rosacea (rose-A-she-uh). It starts as a reddening of the nose and cheeks, and sometimes can affect the forehead. The skin also develops webs of tiny blood vessels. Pimples – which look much like acne – break out. The final stage, which should never be reached these days, is the bulbous nose of W.C. Fields. Rosacea is common. Fair-skinned people with light hair are the most susceptible. So are those who blush easily. The actual cause is a bit unclear. Some believe the skin mite Demodex is involved. It lives in hair follicles. But people without rosacea also have the mite, so a cause and effect is not certain. People with rosacea often have eye involvement, something that’s often overlooked but needs consideration. The eyes feel gritty and might burn. They, too, can become red. Rosacea isn’t a curable condition, but it is highly treatable. Your husband ought to steer clear of

spicy foods, sunlight and extremes of heat and cold. That he doesn’t drink alHEALTH cohol is in his favor. Dr. Paul MetroDonohue nidazole ■■■ cream, gel or lotion, or Azelex (azelaic acid) cream can bring gratifying results. Over-thecounter benzoyl peroxide often works for an acne breakout. Sometimes oral metronidazole or an oral antibiotic is added to the program. You or your husband would do well to contact the National Rosacea Society, which can provide you with informative literature and keep you abreast of the latest changes in treatment. The society’s website is www.rosacea.org, and its phone number is 888-NOBLUSH. Dear Dr. Donohue: Is it possible to have had a heart attack and not know it? I am a 59-year-old man and had my first ever EKG this past week. The doctor tells me I had a heart attack. I have never had anything that felt like a heart attack. I don’t smoke and never have. Heart attacks don’t run in my family. My mother and father are alive at 85. I weigh 155 pounds and

have weighed that since I was discharged from the Army, more than 35 years ago. Could this be a mistake? – R.S. As many as 20 percent of heart attacks are silent, producing no pain or other symptoms. Those attacks are discovered when an EKG happens to be taken at a later date. It’s also true that the EKG might show the pattern of an old heart attack without one ever having occurred. If you want to settle the matter, consult a cardiologist. It’s probably the wise thing to do. Dear Dr. Donohue: A couple of years ago, you said rubbing your legs daily prevents some strokes and heart attacks. Please repeat the information. I am 93. My grandfather was a doctor in the Confederate Army. – J.M. I’m 100 percent positive that I’m not the one who wrote that. I don’t know if it works. I find it hard to believe. It won’t hurt you, and it might make your legs feel good, though. DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible. Readers may write him or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475

very so often I get calls about mysterious holes that appear in people’s yards, and what, or who, is causing this movement of dirt? First, we need more information. Think of yourself as a soil CSI. What is the size of the holes? How many holes are there, and are they in any particular pattern? Is there dirt mounded around the hole, or is the area clean? A raccoon, skunk, dog or groundhog could have made holes larger than 6 inches. These animals may be digging for food or building a new home. When I was growing up, I had a dog that would dig holes in the yard trying to catch moles. The suspect pool widens if the hole is between 2 to 3 inches in diameter. Suspects include squirrels, moles, voles, rats and shrews. Cats also dig holes but usually cover them up when they finish their business. Holes this size can also be caused by frogs, turtles and birds. Crayfish or crawfish also dig 1- to 2-inch holes. Their holes are usually near water and capped off with a mud castle. As a kid, I spent hours in the ditch outside my house trying to dig up crawfish. Holes that are an inch or less are usually caused by insects or worms. Cicadas, pecan weevils and Japanese beetles are just a few of the insects that live underground in their immature stage.

In the spring and summer, they will emerge from the soil as adults, leaving holes behind. Ground bees and cicada killer wasps make their homes in the soil, usually in the lawn. As worms tunnel around they occasionally pop their heads out, leaving a hole. One method to find out what is leaving that small hole is to pour soapy water over an area of the lawn. Beetles and worms will come to the surface. Another nonliving cause would be buried organic matter. For instance, in a location where a tree died or stump was buried, decomposition occurs, and the soil will settle to these voids. Building debris that is covered and decayed will leave a cavity that looks like a hole. Other things can cause holes in soil, including rain dripping off the roof, fallen limbs and aerators. MASTER GARDENERS will answer questions on horticultural topics. Karen C. Neill, an urban horticulture extension agent, can be contacted at the N.C. Cooperative Extension, 3309 Burlington Road, Greensboro, NC 27405-7605, telephone (336) 375-5876, email karen_neill@ncsu.edu, on the Web at www.guilfordgardenanswers.org.

HIGH POINT – A concert by the band Sleeping Booty held June 19 at Mendenhall Transportation Terminal raised approximately $5,000 for the United Way of Greater High Point and its annual Toy Drive for Homeless Kids. Proceeds from the concert will buy new toys and school supplies for local homeless and underprivileged children, such as those who live at The Salvation Army shelter and in foster care through Youth Unlimited, or those who participate in programs for the needy through other

family more dependent on technology than each other goes off the grid in “Jack’s Family Adventure,” a Hallmark Channel Original Movie premiering at 9 p.m. Saturday. Emmy winner Peter Strauss (“The Jericho Mile”) stars as a modern-day cowboy alongside veteran performers Jonathan Silverman (“Weekend at Bernies”) and DeDee Pfeiffer (“Cybill”) in a story that reminds us it’s not how many times you fall off the horse that matters, it’s how many times you climb back in the saddle. Silverman stars as Jack Vickery, an ad exec whose years spent climbing the corporate ladder have left him successful, though not fulfilled. When his uncle dies and leaves Jack the family cabin

he enjoyed in his youth, he packs up his wife (Pfeiffer) and their teenage kids, introvert Charlotte (Linsey Godfrey, “The House Bunny”) and all-star jock Derek (Nolan Gerard Funk, “X2”), for a family bonding vacation in the wilderness. The stark differences from the creature comforts of their usual lives leaves Jack’s wife and kids longing to cut the trip short, but when they are befriended by Wild Bill Cohen (Strauss), who proudly carries on the long tradition of “Jewish cowboys,” things begin to change. As Bill helps Jack and his family learn the pleasures of a simpler life, the family members start to open up to one another as they begin to understand that being content does not need to be a complicated affair.

The newest “Law & Order” spinoff has collared its first star. A spokeswoman for “Law & Order: Los Angeles” says Skeet Ulrich will play one of the two lead detectives on the series, scheduled to air this fall on NBC. Ulrich appeared last season in several episodes of another crime series, “CSI: NY,” as a killer. His credits also include “Jericho,” a TV drama that drew a passionate but small audience. Production on “Law & Order: Los Angeles” is scheduled to begin later this month. The original “Law & Order” was canceled by NBC after 20 seasons.

ABC’s Christiane Amanpour (AH’-mahn-pore) officially joins the Sunday morning talk world on Aug. 1. ABC said Tuesday that the former CNN international reporter begins as host of “This Week” in less than three weeks. Amanpour was a surprise hire to replace George Stephanopoulos (stehf-uh-NAHP’uh-luhs) on the Sunday political show, which competes with NBC’s “Meet the Press” and CBS’ “Face the Nation.”

It was supposed to be a sun-drenched day, but rain was hammering away on the bridge club’s roof. “Weather forecasts!” a player snorted. “They’re like horoscopes with numbers.” When I watched today’s deal, South played his 3NT by the numbers, but the wrong ones. He won the first spade in his hand, took the king of diamonds and led a diamond to ... dummy’s ace. When East threw a heart, South could win only three diamonds and had to try for a 3-3 club break. It wasn’t to be, and down he went. “Diamonds will break 5-1 only 15 percent of the time,” South grumbled.

Your numbers are 5, 12, 22, 27, 31, 25, 47 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Cut your losses personally, professionally or financially.

Networking will lead to an opportunity you don’t expect. Your determination, drive and leadership ability will lead to an interesting offer. ★★★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t rely on promises.

You have what it takes to accomplish your goals. There is money in the stars and deals that can turn your life around. Your expertise, skills and talent will not let you down. ★★★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You may think someone you are dealing with is being critical but it’s likely this person just wants to help you be and do your best. Try to be patient and use the advice being offered. Out of chaos will come peace and opportunity. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Your indecisiveness might cause you to miss out on a great opportunity to partner with someone intent on being successful.

DAILY QUESTION

NINE TRICKS

You hold: S A 4 2 H 7 6 3 D A Q 10 6 5 C A 5. Your partner opens one heart, you bid two diamonds and he rebids two hearts. What do you say?

I wouldn’t have forecast down one, but South forgot that the important number was nine – as in tricks. On the second diamond, South should execute a safety play by playing dummy’s ten. If East could produce the jack, diamonds would have split no worse than 4-2, and South would be sure of four diamonds, two spades, a heart and two clubs. The safety play gains when West’s diamonds are J-9-8-7-3.

ANSWER: A raise to four hearts would be inadequate. This hand, with three aces and a source of tricks, has slam potential. (Partner may hold 8 7, A K Q 9 4 2, K 3, J 6 4.) In a system where your two diamonds was game-forcing, you could bid three hearts; in Standard methods, bid two spades and support the hearts next. North dealer Both sides 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.

3-D television: a new device, a new language FRAZIER MOORE AP TELEVISION WRITER

N

EW YORK – Let’s say you’ve started lusting for a 3-D television. Never mind that when you get to the store to sample 3-D TV, you discover that World Cup soccer in 3-D may not grab you like a scene from the 3-D animated film “Monsters vs. Aliens.” The soccer match seems disappointingly flat in its wide shots. “Monsters vs. Aliens” immerses you in its animated antics. You’ve just learned a basic lesson of 3-D: It isn’t all the same. But when it’s good, it’s very good. It sucks you in. It’s in your face, you’re in its face. Or so it seems. No wonder you’re picturing one of these sleek, wide-screen beauties in your own living room. That’s what visitors to the Sony 3-D Experience at CBS’ consumer research center in Las Vegas are saying, according to preliminary polling results. Twothirds of the visitors to this exhibition at the MGM Grand Hotel & Casino say their next TV will be 3-D-capable, reported David Poltrack, president of CBS Vision. Maybe much of the public is pre-sold by now. “3-D is a form of content that people not only like, but are willing to

games and other home videos viewable with 3-D-ready Blu-ray and PlayStation players. Meanwhile, some 3-D TVs boast an additional feature that converts any 2-D show to 3-D, at least in a limited version that offers a measure of interior depth, although nothing will leap out at you into the foreground. For now, “true 3-D” on-air content will mostly be sports, nature programming, concerts and other special events. Where it goes after that will depend on several as-yet-unanswerable questions. For starters, will 3-D prove to be more than a passing fancy? Already, 3-D is encountering skeptics and outright detractors. Prominent in the latter camp is veteran film reviewer Roger Ebert, who in a recent column listed numerous reasons why he “hates” 3-D, blasting it as “a waste of a perfectly good dimension.” He and other 3-Dtractors insist its illusion of depth – the result of paired images of the same scene, one directed to each eye – only undermines the 3-D effect that conventional TV and cinema have always conveyed. And then there’s that issue of the glasses, which, until further notice, are a necessary part of the deal.

pay a significant premium at the box office for,” Poltrack said. “We’ve very fortunate that ‘Avatar’ was done so well and was such a big hit,” said Dan Schinasi, senior marketing manager for HDTV product planning in Samsung’s Visual Display Product Group. “That 3-D theater experience captivated millions of people and made them realize, ‘There’s a new dimension that I’ve been missing,’” Schinasi said. “The result is, they’re saying, ‘I want to experience that at home.’ ” In these early months of 3-D-mania, jolted by the December release of “Avatar,” a growing number of manufacturers (including Samsung, Panasonic and Sony) are wooing you with mirror-thin 3-D models whose screens stretch 40 inches and beyond, and whose price tags start at about $1,700. Granted, you can’t yet frolic with the Na’vi in your home in 3-D; only a 2-D edition of “Avatar” is currently for sale. But ESPN is airing 3-D sports events (including World Cup soccer). DirecTV has just flipped the switch on a trio of 3-D channels. And Discovery says its 3-D channel, in partnership with Sony and IMAX, will debut early next year. Headed to the marketplace by year-end will be dozens of 3-D movies,

Kelis wants to start a dance revolution NATALIE ROTMAN ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

L

OS ANGELES – Kelis wants to make you sweat. The 30-year-old singer has had club hits before, but with her latest CD, “Flesh Tone,” she’s zeroing in on the clubs, hoping to get people moving on the dance floor. Even though it seems like the pop world is engulfed in disco fever, Kelis says people are too cool to groove. “No one is sweating, no one is dancing,” she said. “People don’t ever dance anymore.” “Flesh Tone” comes after a turbulent period in her life. She split from rapper Nas, the father of her infant son Knight, and the former couple engaged in a high-profile battle over child support. She also tangled with the animal rights group PETA after she was photographed in fur. The Harlem native talked about her music, raising her son and her thoughts on People for

Ethical Treatment of Animals during a recent interview. The Associated Press: How did you go Kelis from creating R&B hits like “Milkshake” to an all-dance album? Kelis: I felt like everything started to go in the same direction. I hate to toot my horn, but if you look at where music was as far as females and what’s Top 40 radio and whatever, where it was before “Milkshake,” versus after, I mean you kind of have to be retarded to deny that it literally changed female vocalists. ... So for me, it was just about wanting to party again. AP: It was reported you got a hefty divorce settlement from your exhusband. Kelis: No matter what it is that I say, or don’t say, people are going to

uy On One ne En Le

ual al

make up their opinion. I have not said anything about my personal life at all. ... At the end of the day it has no bearing on me or my kid. Maybe you want to think about that. You are blogging about my life that I am actually living. AP: Knight is going to grow up with two public figures as parents. What do you want people to know about Nas as a father? Kelis: My kid is the

center of my world. I don’t leave him ever. I take him with me everywhere. I was married. It didn’t work out. The most amazing thing came out of it. I am good with that. ... He (Knight) will never read anywhere that I said anything negative about his father. It doesn’t matter whether it’s true or not. Because at the end of the day he needs to know he did come from love.

Former Bison golfer mourned BY STEVE HANF ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

BETHESDA, Md. – Candy and Glenn Heer spent Tuesday night watching the Major League Baseball All-Star Game. To those who knew Glenn best, the fact baseball was on the television instead of golf might come as a surprise. There’s more, of course. “We did some stretching exercises while we watched,” Candy said. “Greg Norman golf stretching exercises. We were going to do that every evening.” The mother and son would not get that chance. Glenn Heer never awoke Wednesday morning and was gone at the age of 19. Doctors at the National Institute of Health will begin the process of determining a cause of death

in the wake of a bone marrow transplant that destroyed his own immune system so a new one could develop. After more than a Heer dozen years of questions in regards to Glenn’s disease, the answer – the extremely rare Severe Combined Immune Deficiency: Recombinant Activation Gene 1 (SCID RAG 1) – and the cure seemed so close. “He was doing well, the poster boy,” Candy said. “No one had responded so quickly and so well to the procedures he had to date. We found a golf course close by and he went out and chipped and putted.” That was several days ago, but golf was always on Glenn’s mind.

He approached High Point Central’s Kim Stalnaker about joining the golf team five years ago and the coach didn’t know what to say. Glenn stood all of 4-foot10 and spoke with a high-pitched nasally voice also caused by his disease. Over the next four years, Glenn would hit his short drives off the tee and then place pinpoint shots around the green to become a difference-maker for the Bison. By the time he graduated in 2009, Glenn was an all-conference performer who earned a spot in the NCHSAA 4A regional tournament. “He was Glenn – always upbeat,” Stalnaker said. “Just a wonderful young man. He dealt with his issues better than I could have.” Glenn accumulated 24 hours of credits at UNC Chapel Hill last

year while serving as manager of the men’s golf team and playing his way onto the school’s highly competitive club team. Prior to leaving the Tar Heels in May to prepare for his treatment, Glenn had told golf coach John Inman to save him a scholarship for when he returned as a 6-5, 250-pounder crushing drives. “Talking to Glenn, texting Glenn, he was ready to go tear up the world,” Stalnaker said. “Glenn beat everything, and then to have this happen after the surgery and Glenn doesn’t wake up – it’s so unfair. “Glenn was always at the doctor: ‘He’s all right, he’ll be back tomorrow,’ ” Stalnaker said of people’s reactions to the news. “Everybody just can’t believe it.” shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

Wilson advances in Publinx GREENSBORO (AP) – Medalist John-Tyler Griffin played 18 holes and advanced through the first round of match play in the U.S. Amateur Public Links on Wednesday at Bryan Park. Griffin was joined in today’s second round of match play by former High Point Central and High Point University golfer Chase Wilson, who defeated Andrew Vijarro of Bend, Ore. 3&2. Wilson never trailed en route to his victory. Griffin, a Georgia Tech golfer from Wilson, defeated Andrew Perez of Oxnard, Calif., 1-up to move on at Bryan Park Golf and Conference Center. Griffin led by two holes with two holes to play and held on. Griffin’s opponent in today’s round of 32 will be Florida State’s Wesley Graham. There will be two rounds today, narrowing the field to eight. Canada’s Nick Taylor, the 2009 runnerup, was eliminated in the first round by UNC Pembroke’s Jonathan McCurry of Sanford, by a 4 and 2 score. Second-seeded Derek Ernst of UNLV never led until winning the 13th hole on the way to a 2 and 1 victory against LSU’s Clayton Rotz of Chambersburg, Pa. Third-seeded Patrick Reed of national champion Augusta State won 7 and 6 against Bridgewater College’s Travis Gahman of Souderton, Pa.

The HiToms’ Daniel Kassouf gets congratulations from teammates (including No. 19 Jonny Hoffman) after blasting a towering homer against Asheboro at Finch Field on Thursday night.

Copperheads rally past HiToms BY STEVE HANF ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

THOMASVILLE – This was one night the HiToms would have preferred another one-run loss. Beleaguered Thomasville owned a 3-0 lead most of Wednesday before Asheboro jumped ahead 4-3 in the seventh at Finch Field. Any hopes of a HiToms’ comeback vanished in the ninth, however, when the Copperheads struck for four more runs en route to an 8-5 win. The HiToms (12-28, 2-10 second half of the Coastal Plain League) entered Wednesday’s game having lost four straight, while Asheboro (21-21, 8-6) had dropped three in a row. Thomasville appeared poised to break out of its slump thanks to the strong pitching of J.J. Jankowski and some rare early run support.

Cass Hargis chopped a double off Jared Strayer in the first inning and Daniel Kassouf came through with a two-out home run that carried just over the fence in right-center. The lead ballooned to 3-0 in the third when Hargis opened with a single and scored on a wild pitch. Jankowski, meanwhile, cruised into the sixth. He pitched out of a bases-loaded jam in the first and left two aboard in the fifth, but struck out the side in the second and fourth frames. He allowed a solo homer to Hunter Ridge to open the sixth and saw another run come home on a single off reliever Jonny Hoffman. Hoffman then was on the hook for the loss after allowing a pair of infield singles in the seventh. Reliever Matt Dillon, with the bases loaded, was greeted by Xavier Macklin with a double to the wall in right that made it 4-3.

Dillon pitched well into the ninth, walking two batters who eventually would score off Jordan Rittiner. Asheboro needed the insurance runs, it turned out, as the HiToms loaded the bases in the ninth off reliever Corey Deighan. Kassouf singled – he reached safely in all five at-bats with his homer, two singles and two hit-by-pitches – and Chris Fritts brought home one run with a single. A grounder made it 8-5, but with two outs and two still on, pinch-hitter Ben Grisz saw his bat shattered and go flying toward third while the ball headed to the pitcher for an out. The HiToms visit Petersburg tonight and play their final home game prior to the all-star break Friday at 7 p.m. against Gastonia. shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

HIT AND RUN

N

ow that another All-Star Game has come and gone, the Major League Baseball season can really begin in earnest. The first half of every big-league season offers its share of drama and excitement. This year saw a slew of no-hitters and perfect games, plus a closely jumbled pack in most of the six divisions. It’s shaping up to be a classic road to October in at least four of the six divisions as pennant fever hits overdrive starting today. The only wide gaps between first and second place can be found in the American League West, where surging Texas carried a

41⁄2-game lead over Los Angeles at the break; and the National League East, which finds Atlanta four up on the Mets. The other divisions showcase no more than three-game leads for any pace setter. An amazing 22 teams hit the All-Star break within 10 games of each other in the various division standings. There hasn’t been much separation yet. That figures to change. I’m curious to see if the Braves can hold off the Mets and Phillies in the rugged National League East. I’d love to see Atlanta make one more playoff appearance for manager Bobby Cox, who says he is retiring after the season.

I can’t wait to see if Detroit’s Miguel Cabrera can capture the American League triple crown and how close to 30 wins Colorado’s Ubaldo Jimenez can come. He sports a 15-1 record and became the first pitcher in 10 seasons to have that many wins at the break. Will the Yankees, Rays or Red Sox rule the American League East? Will the Padres, Rockies, Dodgers or Giants tame the wild, wild NL West? The answers to all these questions and more will come in the next 21⁄2 months.

WHO’S NEWS

---

The thumb injury Miami quarterback Jacory Harris dealt with on his throwing hand last season was repeatedly dismissed as something minor. It apparently was far more severe than the Hurricanes ever acknowledged. Harris feared “the worst” in the weeks following the injury, which was eventually announced as a torn ligament that required surgery six months ago. And although he’s still recovering, Harris said Wednesday that he’ll be painfree and ready to play when Miami opens against Florida A&M on Sept. 2, followed nine days later by a trip to Ohio State in a rematch of the 2002 season’s national title game. “I guess the time off gave me time to rest,” Harris said. “I can’t be the same person from last year. I’ve got to strive to get better.” Harris completed 242 of 406 passes last season for 3,352 yards and 24 touchdowns, the third-most in the Atlantic Coast Conference. He also threw 17 interceptions, second-most in major college football. The thumb problem had him using a variety of wraps, tape jobs and treatments last season. He couldn’t squeeze the ball properly.

Knight, Ogwumike chosen as prep athletes of year

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Guard Brandon Knight, headed to Kentucky in the fall, and power forward Chiney Ogwumike, a Stanford recruit, have been honored as national high school athletes of the year. It was the fourth time in eight years that the male and female awards went to a pair of basketball players. The previous hoops duo to win were Kevin Love of the Minnesota Timberwolves and Maya Moore of Connecticut in 2007. Knight received his award from Love and New England Patriots receiver Wes Welker. Ogwumike accepted her silver trophy from retired Los Angeles Sparks star Lisa Leslie and soccer star Brandi Chastain of FC Gold Pride. The awards presented Wednesday are sponsored by Gatorade.

Braves acquire Gonzalez from Blue Jays in trade ATLANTA (AP) – The NL East-leading Atlanta Braves, looking to bolster their lineup for the second half of the season, acquired Alex Gonzalez in a swap of shortstops that sent Yunel Escobar to Toronto on Wednesday. The Braves also traded left-hander Jo-Jo Reyes to the Blue Jays in the five-player deal while also adding lefthanded minor league pitcher Tim Collins and minor league shortstop Tyler Pastornicky. The 33-year-old Gonzalez is hitting .259 with 17 home runs and 50 RBIs. He is tied for fifth in the American League with 43 extra-base hits. “He’s an outstanding defensive shortstop and he’s having a very good offensive season,” Braves general manager Frank Wren said. “We think he can improve our run production. He immediately leads our team in home runs.” Troy Glaus had 14 homers to lead the Braves at the All-Star break. Escobar hit .299 with career-best totals of 14 homers and 76 RBIs last season. He has struggled this year, hitting only .238 with no homers and 19 RBIs.

National League catcher Brian McCann of the Atlanta Braves poses with the MVP trophy after the NL beat the American League 3-1 in the All-Star game late Tuesday night in Anaheim, Calif. McCann delivered the first bases-clearing double in All-Star game history to spark the Senior Circuit.

McCann comes up big, NL finally wins All-Star game ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) – Brian McCann, Scott Rolen or Heath Bell might really appreciate what happened on this July night come October. Charlie Manuel, too. An All-Star win the National League thought was long overdue. And with it, home-field advantage in the World Series. McCann earned MVP honors with a three-run double in the seventh inning, right fielder Marlon Byrd alertly threw out David Ortiz to slow a ninth-inning rally and the NL captured its first Midsummer Classic since 1996 with a 3-1 victory Tuesday night. “Enough was enough,” St. Louis’ Adam Wainwright said. In a year of dominant pitching, young starters David Price and Ubaldo Jimenez set the tone – and got even more help from the tricky shadows. Nearly the entire field at Angel Stadium was bathed in odd patterns of sunlight for a twilight first pitch, creating more awkward swings and misses than usual in baseball’s annual talent show. Even that bouncing Rally Monkey on the big screen in a red AL jersey couldn’t change things this time. Manuel, the NL skipper, talked to his team about the importance of home-field advantage. “It’s a big deal. I think home teams play better at home,” said Manuel, whose Phillies have reached the last two World Series and won in 2008. “It feels good, it feels real good.” The AL didn’t go down without some ninth-inning drama, started by Ortiz’s leadoff single. But Jonathan Broxton sealed it, helped by Byrd’s defense and shaky baserunning by Big Papi. Ortiz was on first with one out when John Buck hit a blooper that Byrd scooped up and threw to second for a forceout on the slow-moving Boston DH.

MLB ALL-STAR GAME EARNS RECORD-LOW TV RATING

---

NEW YORK (AP) – Major League Baseball’s All-Star game has earned its lowest-ever television rating. The National League’s 3-1 victory Tuesday night on Fox earned a 7.5 fast national rating and 13 share. That’s down 16 percent from the 8.9/15 for last season’s game, a 4-3 win by the AL. The previous low was an 8.1/14 in 2005. Ratings represent the percentage of all households with televisions, and shares represent the percentage of all homes with TVs in use at the time.

“Wrong place, wrong time – and the wrong guy, too,” Ortiz said. “I saw where he was playing, but I didn’t know that Marlon Byrd’s a guy who has great speed in the outfield. So I saw him coming in and I thought he was going to catch it. I just didn’t want to get caught in a double play, so I got in between, it bounced in front of him and he made a good throw to second base.” With Alex Rodriguez standing on the steps in the AL dugout, Ian Kinsler flied out and the NL had its win. A-Rod never got in the game. “It felt awesome for us to get the win and break the streak,” Broxton said. Washington closer Matt Capps got the win with just five pitches, striking out Home Run Derby champion Ortiz. Yankees starter Phil Hughes took the loss after allowing two hits before Matt Thornton yielded McCann’s decisive double. Until McCann cleared the bases, Robinson Cano’s fifth-inning sacrifice fly stood as the lone run in a game expected to be decided by the loaded pitching staffs on each side. McCann’s deep fly ball to the warning track in right gave the NL hope in the fifth. When he made good with that bases-loaded double off Thornton, Atlanta’s steady catcher hit second base and pumped his right fist. The three guys who scored headed to the dugout with a renewed swagger. McCann hopes this re-

sult might later help his Braves, who lead the NL East. “The game counts ... it means more to me this year because we’re in first place,” said McCann, a five-time All-Star relatively unknown before this night. Rolen, who singled twice and scored on McCann’s hit, and his NL Central-leading Cincinnati Reds also might benefit from this win. Cano and his fellow Yankees All-Stars wore black armbands after the death of longtime New York owner George Steinbrenner from a heart attack earlier Tuesday in Tampa, Fla., at age 80. Pictures of The Boss showed on two video screens before a pregame moment of silence, and flags hung at half-staff. It took the NL 14 years to break through after several close calls. The National League lost the last two 4-3, including that 15-inning affair in 2008 at Yankee Stadium. The two before that were also one-run defeats. In 2002, they tied 7-7. The NL leads the overall All-Star game series 41-38-2.

Rangers ride high into second half THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

When Oakland outfielder Rajai Davis heard the Texas Rangers had acquired Cliff Lee from Seattle late last month, he reacted the same way as many others around baseball did. “They’re trying to make a real run, huh?” Davis said. “They’re not playing around.” The Rangers may be in the middle of a messy ownership change that includes a rancorous bankruptcy proceeding, but that didn’t stop them from making the first major splash before the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline. Texas added Lee to a team that will carry a 41⁄2-game lead in the AL West into the second half of the season, which begins today. The Rangers are looking for their first playoff appearance since 1999, and adding Lee to a formidable offense lets everyone know they’re serious. Lee was 4-0 with a 1.56 ERA in five postseason starts last year for the Phillies. But more importantly, he was 2-0 against the mighty New York Yankees in the World Series. So who will be the next team to make a move? The Los Angeles Angels are looking to add a big bat to stay in contention with Texas, and the AL Central-leading Chicago White Sox have similar designs. One thing we do know is that the winner of the National League pennant will have homefield advantage for the World Series, after the NL beat the American League 3-1 on Tuesday night for its first victory in the AllStar game since 1996. With tight races everywhere and the powerful Yankees playing for some-

White Sox start 2nd half of season in 1st place CHICAGO (AP) – Ozzie Guillen’s always full of advice. The way his Chicago White Sox played before the break this season – a miserable start and then a stunning turnaround – it sure seems appropriate. Ozzie says: Don’t look around. Just play. On June 8, the White Sox were nine games under .500 and 91⁄2 games out of first in the American League Central. After a head-turning 25-5 tear, they’ve taken over first place. Now comes a real challenge – staying there.

“We feel that Yunel Escobar will absolutely turn it around,” Toronto general manager Alex Anthopoulos said Tuesday. “The Braves also took on more salary. Escobar is making $435,000 this season. Gonzalez’s salary is $2.75 million; his contract includes a 2011 club option for $2.5 million. Each shortstop is regarded as a strong defensive player. The Braves have a four-game lead over the New York Mets and a 41⁄2-game lead over Philadelphia. Atlanta outfielders Jason Heyward (thumb) and Nate McLouth (concussion) are on the disabled list. Heyward, who was voted an All-Star starter as a rookie, could return today. The Blue Jays, one game under .500, are 121⁄2 games behind the New York Yankees in the AL East. Reyes, 1-5 with a 5.70 ERA at TripleA Gwinnett, has a 5-15 career record with Atlanta. Kris Medlen’s emergence as Atlanta’s No. 5 starter pushed Kenshin Kawakami to the bullpen and further blocked Reyes’ return to Atlanta.

thing bigger than just another title, buckle up for what is shaping to be a wild ride over the next few months. Here’s a look at some of the keys to the rest of the season:

MOTIVATED YANKEES The Yankees steamrolled into the All-Star break with 30 victories in their final 44 games, looking every bit the favorite that they usually are. The defending world champions may not even need to make a move after getting all the extra motivation they needed when longtime owner George Steinbrenner died this week. Alex Rodriguez shared a story about a handwritten note Steinbrenner had delivered to him in 2004 that read “I’m counting on you” with capital letters and exclamation point.

TIGHT RACES No team is running away with anything right now. The biggest lead in any division is the Rangers’ 41⁄2 games over the Angels in the AL West. A few of the more intriguing races: •AL East: Arguably the three best teams in baseball – the Yankees (56-32), Rays (54-34) and Red Sox (51-37) – are fighting for the title and likely the AL wild card. The Atlanta Braves (52-36) are only other team in baseball with a better record than third-place Boston. •NL West: Can Mat Latos, Heath Bell and the remarkably successful San Diego Padres make their 2-game lead over the Rockies and Dodgers stand up for another few months? •NL Central: The Cincinnati Reds (49-41) have been the other big surprise, one game in front of star-studded St. Louis at the break.

Bobcats reach deal with PG Livingston

AP

Robert Karlsson of Sweden reacts during a practice round on the Old Course at St. Andrews, Scotland, on Wednesday. The British Open begins with the first round today at St. Andrews.

A British Open with all the elements ST. ANDREWS, Scotland (AP) – The locals are famous for saying that if it’s “nae rain and nae wind then it’s nae golf.” There was rain. And there was wind. There just wasn’t much golf being played Wednesday on the eve of the British Open. Kenny Perry wanted to play one more practice round, and the miserable weather wasn’t about to stop him. It just made him think about how long he really wanted to be in the kind of elements St. Andrews hasn’t seen in 15 years for the British Open. Three holes after he teed off, with raindrops on his glasses and water dripping off a black rainsuit that had turned slick and shiny, he cut across the Old Course to play two holes back toward the clubhouse. As he stepped onto the 17th tee, Perry noticed a man grinning at him from beneath an umbrella. “Are you enjoying our weather?” the man said in his thick brogue. “What’s there to enjoy?” Perry replied. Worse yet was leaving the 17th tee with Nick Watney, rain pelting them sideways and the sound of laughter above them. There was Ian Poulter, dressed in shorts and a shirt, taking pictures of them from the comfort of his third-floor room in the Old Course Hotel. “Having fun down there, boys?” Poulter called out to them. The fun doesn’t begin until today, when the 139th version of golf’s oldest championship gets under way at St. Andrews, with weather that likely will as much of a factor as Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson or any of the players. And it’s about time. The last time the Open came to St. Andrews, there was only one round of a stiff breeze and Woods won by five shots at 14-under 274. Ten years ago on a sunbaked links, Woods set a major championship record at 19-under 269 for an eight-shot win in perfect weather. But there was nasty weather in 1995, when John Daly finished at 6-under 282 and won a playoff. The Royal and Ancient, which runs this tournament, doesn’t get wrapped up in scores. It lets nature decide that. “The forecast for the championship is changeable – blustery, showery conditions,” R&A chief executive Peter Dawson, barely able to contain a grin. “Pretty good for links golf.”

Defending champion at St. Andrews: Tiger Woods. Open champions at St. Andrews: Tom Kidd (1873), Bob Martin (1876, 1885), Jamie Anderson (1879), Robert Ferguson (1882), Jack Burns (1888), Hugh Kirkaldy (1891), J.H.

(AP) – Saying there’s never a good time for a football coach to quit, Bobby Johnson retired abruptly Wednesday as the Vanderbilt Commodores’ head coach. Vice Chancellor David Williams announced the news in a post on the university’s athletic website Wednesday just before a news conference. Minutes later, the 59-yearold Johnson stepped up to a podium and said he was retiring from college football. Johnson called it a very difficult decision but one not prompted by

health concerns for either himself or his wife. He said he began seriously considering retirement a month ago, and he informed Williams in a meeting Monday. “Football is not life, but it’s a way of life and it consumes your life,” Johnson said. “You only have so many years to live, and you want to see a different way.” Johnson’s retirement comes a week before he was scheduled to appear at the Southeastern Conference’s preseason media days, nearly three weeks before players report for fall practice and just seven weeks

TOUR DE FRANCE AT A GLANCE

---

GAP, France (AP) – A brief look at Wednesday’s 10th stage of the Tour de France: Stage: The 111.2-mile trek from Chambery to Gap featured one category 1 climb as riders went through the southern Alps. Winner: Sergio Paulinho of Portugal won in 5 hours, 10 minutes, 56 seconds. He beat Vasili Kiryienka of Belarus in a sprint to the finish line in baking hot conditions. Belgian rider Dries Devenyns finished in third place. Yellow Jersey: Andy Schleck of Luxembourg kept the yellow jersey and maintained his 41-second lead over defending champion Alberto Contador. Spanish rider Samuel Sanchez is 2:45 back in third. Quote of the Day: “He’s a very strong rider and never thinks about himself. I’m very happy to see him win a stage in the Tour de France and shine for himself.” – Paulinho’s Team RadioShack manager Johan Bruyneel. Next stage: The 11th stage today is a flatter, 114.65mile route from Sisteron to Bourg-les-Valence.

before the Commodores’ opener Sept. 4 against Northwestern. Williams announced that Robbie Caldwell will be the interim head coach after serving as assistant head coach. He will be given the chance to keep the job with his performance this season. Johnson started coaching in 1976 at Furman and finishes with an 89102 record overall. He led Vanderbilt the past eight seasons and went 29-66, coaching the Commodores to their only non-losing season since 1982 in 2008 with a win at the Music City Bowl that gave them a 7-6 record.

CHARLOTTE (AP) – Shaun Livingston suffered what was widely considered a career-ending knee injury playing against Charlotte in 2007. Just over three years later, he’s joining the Bobcats to continue his comeback and help plug their hole at point guard. “Yes,” agent Henry Thomas said, “how ironic.” Thomas confirmed on Wednesday his client was headed to Charlotte but didn’t provide financial figures. Yahoo! Sports reported it was a two-year deal worth $7 million. “A good get,” Bobcats coach Larry Brown said in a brief phone interview. The 6-foot-7 Livingston is a big, versatile point guard that would seem to fit into Brown’s system if his left knee is fully recovered. And Charlotte needs the help after it made no attempt to re-sign last year’s starter, Raymond Felton, because of salary-cap woes. When Felton signed with New York this week, D.J. Augustin was the only point

guard left on the roster. It remains unclear if the Bobcats will seek another playmaker. Brown was tightlipped, saying only the team has “a lot of work to do” after Tuesday’s trade that sent Tyson Chandler and Alexis Ajinca to Dallas. The Bobcats got Erick Dampier from the Mavericks, whose $13 million non-guaranteed contract could be used as a chip in a future deal. The 24-year-old Livingston’s career seemed over when he tore three ligaments and dislocated his kneecap in a game against Charlotte on Feb. 26, 2007 when he was with the Los Angeles Clippers. Livingston, who skipped college and was the No. 4 pick in the 2004 draft, missed an entire season and played in just 12 games with Oklahoma City and Miami when he returned in 2008-09. Livingston played in 36 games last season with the Thunder and Wizards. He started 18 games to finish last season with Washington and averaged 9.2 points and 4.5 assists.

Former 76ers executive King to replace Thorn EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) – Mikhail Prokhorov got his King after all. No! Not LeBron. Another King – Billy. The former Philadelphia 76ers general manager and president was hired Wednesday to replace Rod Thorn as the team’s top executive, Prokhorov announced in a release. Contract terms were not immediately available for the former Duke basketball standout. “He has all of the qualities we’ve been looking for in a candidate: professionalism, good relations with the league, players and agents, and strong communications skills,” Prokhorov said. “He will be an excellent fit with head coach Avery Johnson. Most importantly, Billy is ambitious. He

wants to win. This is what I felt when I met with him and why he will be a strong addition to the Nets organization.” Prokhorov personally interviewed more than five people for the general manager’s job and met with King again on Tuesday, later telling the media the decision would be made as soon as possible. The Russian, who was recently spurned in his bid to sign LeBron James in free agency, narrowed his field to King and former Cleveland general manager Danny Ferry by Tuesday and eventually picked King. In King, he gets someone to handle two jobs with one title, which is what Thorn did in recent months.

SUNS COMPLETE DEAL TO GET TURKOGLU

---

PHOENIX (AP) – The Phoenix Suns have acquired forward Hedo Turkoglu in a trade that sends guard Leandro Barbosa and forward Dwayne Jones to Toronto. The deal gives the Suns a third forward in their attempt to replace free agent Amare Stoudemire. Phoenix signed swingman Josh Childress in a signand-trade deal with Atlanta earlier Wednesday and picked up Hakim Warrick in similar swap with Chicago. Turkoglu spent one disappointing season in Toronto, averaging 11.3 points after being named the NBA’s most improved player with Orlando the year before. Barbosa, the NBA’s 2006-07 sixth man of the year, played seven seasons in Phoenix, averaging 12.6 points as a key sub. Jones spent most of last season in the NBA Developmental League.

Paulinho captures 10th stage of Tour GAP, France (AP) – Something finally went right for Lance Armstrong’s squad at the Tour de France. Team RadioShack got its first taste of success at this year’s Tour when Sergio Paulinho of Portugal captured the 10th stage Wednesday, narrowly winning a two-man sprint among breakaway riders. Andy Schleck of Luxembourg retained the yellow jersey. He finished in the main pack more than 14 minutes back, alongside his biggest rivals for the title. Paulinho edged Vasil Kiryienka of Belarus over the sun-baked 111mile trek from Chambery to Gap that featured one difficult climb

– the Laffrey pass – as the race left the Alps. Paulinho pointed skyward then sucked his thumb in honor of his 8-month-old daughter after beating Kiryienka by less than half a wheel. They both clocked 5 hours, 10 minutes, 56 seconds. Belgium’s Dries Devenyns was third: 1:29 behind. “This is a victory we’ve been looking for a while, after all the bad luck we had in the first week,” Paulinho said. “I hope this victory gives morale back to our team.” It was the Portuguese rider’s first individual stage win at the Tour, though he was part of the Astana squad – including Lance Armstrong and 2010 Tour winner

Alberto Contador – that won the team time-trial last year. Armstrong brought Paulinho and several other former Astana teammates to the RadioShack team, which was formed around the seven-time champion last year. Armstrong fell out of contention in the first Alpine stage on Sunday after getting tangled up in three crashes and losing crucial minutes against the top contenders. The team is now banking on the podium hopes of Levi Leipheimer, who is sixth overall. The overall standings didn’t change. Schleck leads Contador by 41 seconds, while Samuel Sanchez of Spain was third, 2:45 back.

Report touts jobs from stimulus bill WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House asserted Wednesday that the $862 billion stimulus law has been even better for the economically-struggling country than previously advertised. Updating its estimate of the impact the controversial new law has had, the White House now projects that the vast spending act has created or saved between 2.5 million and 3.6 million jobs. That’s up from the estimate of 2.2 million to 2.8 million jobs that was released in the first quarter of the year from the White House Council of Economic Advisers. The new estimate says the act is on track, if it hasn’t already reached, the promise that

Walgreen raises quarterly dividend NEW YORK (AP) — Drugstore chain Walgreen Co. says it is boosting its quarterly dividend by 27 percent to 17.5 cents from 13.75 cents. The Deerfield, Ill., company will now pay dividends of 70 cents each year, up from 55 cents. Walgreen says its next dividend is payable Sept. 11 to shareholders of record on Aug. 19.

Airline fees make it hard to shop WASHINGTON (AP) — A government watchdog says airline fees for checked bags and other services are complicating things for consumers trying to find the best deal on airfare. The Government Accountability Office recommended in a report released Wednesday that the government improve the disclosure of airline fees, not only by airlines, but also by travel booking services.

Oil prices rise after stockpiles fall NEW YORK (AP) - Oil prices edged up Wednesday after the government said crude inventories fell and refineries boosted production. Gas pump prices halted a post-July Fourth slide and remained unchanged, according to AAA, Wright Express and Oil Price Information Service. Benchmark oil for August delivery rose 68 cents to $77.83 in midday trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

the stimulus act would save or create 3.5 million jobs by the end of 2010. A growing body of independent economic analysis suggests the law has boosted jobs and kept people off the unemployment line. Yet exactly how many jobs is a matter of dispute, particularly at a time when the national jobless rate continues to hover perilously close to 10 percent. Much of the stimulus money went to programs — like tax breaks, Medicaid and unemployment insurance — that don’t lend themselves to easy head counts. Christina Romer, head of the council, and Vice President Joe Biden released the new quarterly report at a White House event. Presi-

dent Barack Obama and his team are mounting a summertime campaign to show people that the costly stimulus act is working to invigorate the economy. “There’s obviously a lot of uncertainty about any jobs estimate,” Romer said. “And I suspect the true effects of the act will not be fully analyzed or fully appreciated for many years.” The White House analysis estimates that every $1 spent as part of the stimulus bill is matched by $3 in private money. Obama has traveled the country telling voters that as bad as things are, they’d be worse without the stimulus. He acknowledges that message is a tough sell.

Tobacco fights back amid menthol review RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — The tobacco industry is running a full-court press ahead of a federal scientific panel’s meeting to discuss how to regulate menthol cigarettes, a still-growing part of the shrinking cigarette market. The union representing nearly 4,000 tobacco workers sent a letter to the Food and Drug Administration committee examining the public health effects of the minty smokes, warning that a ban could lead to “severe jobs loss” and black market cigarettes. “These are good, hardworking men and women. ... They are an economic linchpin of the communities in which they live,” Frank Hurt, president of the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union wrote in a letter submitted late last month for the panel’s second meeting Thursday.

The committee is to make its recommendations to the FDA’s Center for Tobacco Products by March. The 12-member panel includes three nonvoting members representing the tobacco industry. While most believe a ban is unlikely, several companies also are voicing their concerns in their 100-plus page submissions to the panel, which will hear industry presentations on how menthol is used in cigarettes, health effects, marketing efforts, and impacts on specific groups of people. In their submissions to the panel, the nation’s top three cigarette makers, Philip Morris USA parent Altria Group Inc., Reynolds American Inc., and Lorillard Inc. all said scientific evidence does not show that menthol cigarettes create greater health risk than nonmenthol cigarettes.

Retail sales drop 0.5 percent in June WASHINGTON (AP) — Retail sales fell in June for the second straight month, more evidence that the recovery will slow in the second half of the year. Spending on retail goods dropped 0.5 percent in June, the Commerce Department reported Wednesday. That followed a 1.1 percent fall in May. Excluding autos, spending was down 0.1 percent in June. Pulling down the overall June figures was a drop in auto sales and declining gas prices. When taking those out, sales would have risen

0.1 percent for the month. Separately, the Commerce Department said that business inventories rose 0.1 percent in May. But sales dropped 0.9 percent, the first decline since March 2009. Americans are spending less and that could threaten the pace of the recovery. Consumer spending accounts for 70 percent of economic activity. But consumers have held back because of high unemployment and other signs that have dampened their confidence, such as the volatile stock market and a struggling housing market.

Stocks mixed on Fed outlook NEW YORK (AP) — A weaker economic forecast from the Federal Reserve chilled the stock market’s winning streak. Stocks closed mixed Wednesday, with the Dow Jones industrial average rising almost 4 points for its seventh straight advance. The other major market indexes also had single-digit moves. Bond prices rose as investors, again uneasy about the strength of the economic recovery, went in search of safe investments. The Fed’s economic forecast was only slightly more downbeat than the outlook issued in April. And investors have been well aware that the country faces a bumpy recovery. But the Fed’s assessment was still a sharp reminder that economic growth won’t come easily. Investors initially sold on the Fed’s statement. A strong start to secondquarter earnings reports, including upbeat forecasts from Intel Corp. and Alcoa Inc., helped temper their disappointment. The Fed lowered its projection for the gross domestic product, the broadest measure of the economy, and said GDP will grow between 3 percent and 3.5 percent this year. That’s down from the 3.2 percent to 3.7 percent forecast in April. The Dow rose 3.70, or 0.04 percent, to 10,366.72. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell 0.17, or 0.02 percent, to 1,095.17, while the Nasdaq composite index rose 7.81, or 0.4 percent.

Cruz, Bardem marry in the Bahamas

Spanish borrowing from ECB soars Speaking at an annual State of the Nation debate in Parliament on Wednesday, Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero said his government would press on with harsh austerity cuts and labor reform policies aimed at slashing the country’s budget deficit. Zapatero said it had been “a difficult, black year” but added the government would not deviate from implementing measures including cutting civil service pay five percent. He also said Spain should adopt retirement at 67, extending working lives by two years in keeping with some other European countries. The prime minister said his government acknowledged the deficit was high and had to be reduced rapidly, but he added that the stimulus measures originally put in place had saved 800,000 jobs in Spain as the recession began to bite. The prime minister also defended constitutional reforms aimed at granting northeastern Catalonia greater regional autonomy, insisting it would not splinter Spain as the opposition claims. Spain’s Constitutional Court last week dealt a blow to Catalonia when it ruled the region could not legally call itself “a nation” within Spain, triggering a protest march by more than one million people in Barcelona, the regional capital.

Government has yet to reach conclusion in Toyota case WASHINGTON (AP) – The government says it hasn’t reached any conclusions about whether Toyota drivers may be to blame for their vehicles suddenly accelerating. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says Wednesday its engineers continue to investigate possible causes of sudden acceleration in Toyotas along with the National Academy of Sciences and NASA.

MADRID (AP) – The Bank of Spain said Wednesday that borrowing by Spanish banks from the European Central Bank last month broke records, an indicator of the difficulties they are having in raising money on the international market. On its website the bank said Spanish banks sought €126.3 billion ($160.4 billion) in funding from the ECB in June, up an unprecedented 48 percent from €85.62 billion ($108.7 billion) in May. Spanish banks have been obliged to go to the ECB for credit because they have been facing difficulties in obtaining money elsewhere due to fears over their solvency. Markets have been particularly worried about the country’s savings banks – or “cajas” – which were heavily exposed to the collapsed real estate sector and are saddled with billions of euros in foreclosed property. The Spanish government insists its financial institutions are healthy and has said this will be demonstrated when the results of stress test are made public before the end of the month. The country recently introduced austerity measures, labor and savings bank reforms in a desperate bid to get Spain out of a near two-year recession.

Tuesday that the government had analyzed dozens of event data rexcorders, or black boxes, in Toyota vehicles involved in crashes blamed on unintended acceleration and found the throttles were open and the brakes not engaged. That would suggest drivers were stepping on the gas pedal instead of the brakes. Toyota has recalled more than 8.5 million vehicles worldwide since last fall.

Piers Morgan likely successor to King at CNN NEW YORK (AP) – “America’s Got Talent” judge Piers Morgan appears to be the front-runner to claim the CNN talk show long hosted by Larry King, and he has won permission from NBC, which airs the hit talent contest, to pursue the job. Appearing Wednesday on MSNBC’s

“Morning Joe,” NBC Universal Chief Executive Jeff Zucker noted Morgan is contractually bound to continue on “America’s Got Talent” for three more years. “Having said that, I can also tell you that he has approached us about asking us to do another job as well,” said Zucker.

Lawmaker looks into ’Kate Plus 8’ permits PHILADELPHIA – A Pennsylvania lawmaker questioned the legality of work permits issued to reality TV star Kate Gosselin’s 6-year-old sextuplets, saying state law allows children under 7 to work in movies but not television. Rep. Thomas Murt asked for an explanation from the state attorney general and labor secretary, neither of whom immediately offered a response on Wednesday. ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS
