MAKING THE GRADE? Guilford schools post 8-point drop in AYP scores

BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

GUILFORD COUNTY – Although nearly 60 percent of the district’s schools met Adequate Yearly Progress goals in 2010, it was not enough to prevent an 8-point drop from last year.

Across the district, 71.6 percent of elementary schools, 38.1 percent of middle schools and 45.8 percent of high schools made AYP goals for an average of 59.5 percent, according to preliminary results released Wednesday.

Among local elementary schools, Fairview, Florence, Jamestown, Montlieu and Oak Hill made AYP targets to reduce the number of schools missing the mark to four. Millis Road Elementary was among 10 schools

that met AYP for the eighth year in a row.

AYP is a federal standard required by the No Child Left Behind Act. The pass-fail scores are based on end-ofgrade and end-of-course testing. To meet AYP, schools must reach target goals for all subgroups that include 40 or more students in a school. The subgroups include students who qualify for free or reduced lunch, the disabled, students who speak little English and students of specific racial or ethnic groups.

Title I schools that do not make AYP in the same subject area for two or more consecutive years face sanctions including supplemental educational services – or free tutoring – for qualifying students and public school choice.

Although 88 of 113 regular schools made positive gains on the tests in 2010, the district AYP score was down from last year when 68 percent of schools made their targets, the highest number since the measure was established in 2003.

The number of protected testing groups dropped to make an AYP boost this year difficult, said Guilford County Schools Superintendent Mo Green.

“After last year’s bump in the AYP results due in part to safe harbor, we knew we would face challenges this year,” Green said. “While we made positive progress in the overall number of students who passed the tests, and made significant gains with lower performing schools and narrowed achievement gaps, we must

continue to push forward and make sure we are raising the academic achievement of all of our students.

As a result, we have plenty of work ahead of us.”

In 2009, 27.1 percent of subgroups that made AYP depended on safe harbor protection for attendance rate and graduation rates and a 10 percent reduction in the number of students not proficient in a subject area. Only 12.8 percent of the subgroups that made 2010 AYP depended on safe harbor.

Among local middle schools, only Jamestown and Welborn made AYP. Only the traditional High Point Central and Southern high school programs made their AYP goals. dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

Thomasville approves guidelines for park MISSING PERSON: Police find body of man in vacant house.

BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

THOMASVILLE – Thomasville now has rules for its newest park.

The Thomasville City Council on Monday night approved rules for those renting the new park and its amphitheater in downtown Thomasville. The PACE Community Park, recently built by the nonprofit People Achieving Community Enhancement, is adjacent to the Thomasville Farmers Market.

“We have rules at all of our parks,” said Councilwoman Pat Harris Shelton, chairwoman of the city’s Public Safety Committee. “Since this is a new park, we had to determine what the rules would be for the rental of the park and the use of the park. ... We basically used the same rules that we had at our other recreation facilities and just refined them to meet the needs of PACE Park.”

The rental rules state the use of PACE Park is by permit and contract only, with unauthorized use considered trespassing on city-owned property. Reservation of the park will be made through

Thomasville council member Pat Harris Shelton poses at the PACE Park/Amphitheater. the city manager’s office at Thomasville City Hall. The cost for renting the facility is $50 for the first two hours and $15 per hour for each additional hour.

“The rules really are not that restrictive,” Shelton said. “They are ... the same as the other parks. We did follow the policy that we had at

almost all of the recreation facilities that no alcoholic beverages would be permitted at the premises.

“That’s basically a safety issue because that park is not in a contained area and it would be very difficult to determine who would be eligible to use the alcohol and who wouldn’t.”

Under the rules, the Thomasville Farmers Market may be accessed for simultaneous use in order to have access to bathroom facilities. If the facility is not available, the user is responsible for providing portable bathroom facilities and their prompt removal.

Shelton said the city’s Public Safety Committee may

consider allowing alcohol at the Thomasville Farmers Market. “We are looking at possibly opening up another facility that has more containment area for alcohol usage,” she said. “That’s something in the future that we will be discussing.”

As an affiliate of the High Point Area Arts Council, Community Theatre expects to receive its yearly allocation, to be announced in September, from the Arts Council.

Police find body of missing man

Officers apprehended two suspects at this convenience store on Brentwood Street.

Two charged with robbery after security guard is pepper sprayed ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

HIGH POINT – Two people were arrested after an elderly security guard at a High Point business was pepper sprayed during an armed robbery Wednesday morning.

Police officers responded to Carolina Southern Inc. at 517 Townsend Ave. at 10:36 a.m. and determined that two suspects had gotten away with the victim’s wallet and an undetermined amount of money after spraying the security guard with pepper spray, police said.

The suspects got away in a sil-

ver PT Cruiser. Officers at the scene broadcast a be-on-the-lookout message for the car and then spoke with the victim, 75-year-old Jeptha Brown Leach, police said.

He told officers that an acquaintance stopped by and asked to borrow money. He told the acquaintance he did not have any and went back to work. Just as he turned his back, he was grabbed, spun around and sprayed with pepper spray. The suspects then took his wallet and ran to the PT Cruiser. Leach was not injured during the incident.

Shortly after the message was broadcast, the suspect vehicle was

spotted by Trooper C.D. Knox of the N.C. State Highway Patrol and stopped in the 1900 block of Brentwood Street.

Both suspects were taken into custody without incident and taken to the police department for processing. Officers charged Marvin Lee Nelson, 49, of High Point with robbery with a dangerous weapon and Carolyn Dawn Hunt, 31, also of High Point, with conspiracy to commit armed robbery. Both suspects were booked into the Guilford County Jail in High Point. Nelson’s bond was set at $10,000, and Hunt was given a $2,500 bond.

on varying tasks. Two are seeking sponsorships; two are going after grants; and two are focusing on reviving the group’s relationship with the community, Morgan said.

The board has 16 members of the 20 positions available.

Board members raised nearly $3,000 at a June fundraiser, and another fundraiser is planned for Aug. 28.

Upcoming programs are designed to economize where possible.

Two of the four main productions will be staged at existing Community Theatre space

at Enterprise Center, and two will be held at the High Point Theatre.

Mike Gilbert Singletary, who has been involved in theater in the Triad, approached Community Theatre leaders and volunteered to serve as artistic director at no charge.

He selected two productions – “Bram Stoker’s Dracula” and “the Importance of Being Earnest”– for the main season that are in the public domain and don’t require royalty payments.

Thrift store gets laptop back after mistaken sale COEUR d’ALENE, Idaho (AP) – An Idaho thrift store manager has her laptop back after it was accidentally sold for $5 last week.

HIGH POINT – High Point police announced Wednesday that the body of a mentally ill man who went missing in June was found in the city last week.

Austin Robert Robinson Jr. was located at 835 Putnam St. about 12:20 p.m. on Friday, police said. The residence is a vacant house and former home of one of Robinson’s family members, police said.

Police said Wednesday that Robinson had been positively identified and his next of kin had been notified.

In addition, investigators have received word from the N.C. Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Chapel Hill that Robinson, 63, appeared to have died of natural causes and there was nothing suspicious about the death, police said.

He was reported missing from the High Point Group Home at 2325 Brentwood St. on June 12, according to police.

He was last seen somewhere on Putnam Street, police said at the time.

Robinson, who suffered from dementia and schizophrenia, was reported missing by a rehabilitation technician at the group home, where he was last seen about

4:30 p.m.

June 12, according to a police report.

Investigators said Robinson at the time that foul play was not suspected in Robinson’s disappearance but his medical condition was a serious cause for concern because he was presumed to be without his medications during the time he was missing.

It was unclear what authorities think may have happened to Robinson since his disappearance. Investigators handling the case couldn’t be reached for comment Wednesday.

Robinson reportedly left the group home on foot, and information authorities received at the time indicated that it was possible he took a bus somewhere. A Silver Alert was issued to publicize information about Robinson after his disappearance, with police later adding that he had a fondness for horses and had been known in the past to visit places that have horses.

In addition to the Silver Alert, information about Robinson was entered into the National Crime Information Center as a missing person.

Abbas: Specific assurances on borders needed JERUSALEM – Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas wants the U.S. to spell out its views on the borders of a Palestinian state before resuming direct negotiations with Israel, an adviser said Wednesday, raising a condition that Israel is unlikely to accept.

President Barack Obama’s envoy, George Mitchell, has been mediating low-key indirect talks for weeks, but no progress has been reported. Israel and the U.S. believe direct negotiations should resume, but the Palestinians are reluctant.

2nd shooting casts doubt on Afghan forces KABUL, Afghanistan – The second shooting of Western troops by one of their Afghan counterparts this month has highlighted the potential hazards of a push to speedily expand Afghanistan’s army and police forces in the next few years.

On Tuesday, an Afghan army sergeant opened fire at an army base in northern Afghanistan, killing two American civilian trainers before being shot dead.

That followed an attack in the south on July 13, when a soldier killed three British troopers.

Moscow accuses US of kidnapping pilot MOSCOW – The Russian Foreign Ministry accused the U.S. on Wednesday of “kidnapping� a Russian pilot in the West African country of Liberia several weeks ago for alleged drug smuggling.

Konstantin Yaroshenko, 41, was arrested in Monrovia, Liberia’s capital, in late May – by U.S. agents, Russian officials said – and then extradited to New York.

World court to rule on Kosovo independence THE HAGUE, Netherlands – The United Nations’ highest court is issuing an advisory opinion today on whether Kosovo’s 2008 declaration of independence from Serbia was legal, a ruling that could set a precedent for separatist regions around the world.

The International Court of Justice advice is nonbinding, but it is expected to renew pressure for a resumption of talks between Belgrade and Pristina about Kosovo’s future status.

Documents: AU troops harming Somali civilians NAIROBI, Kenya – African Union peacekeepers are indiscriminately shelling residential areas of Somalia’s capital, according to internal AU reports reviewed by The Associated Press.

The evaluation was made months before Somali militants claimed they carried out twin bombings that killed 76 people in Uganda last week – attacks the insurgents said were to avenge civilian deaths caused by AU soldiers.

Large China oil spill threatens sea life, water BEIJING (AP) – China’s largest reported oil spill emptied beaches along the Yellow Sea as its size doubled Wednesday, while cleanup efforts included straw mats and frazzled workers with little more than rubber gloves.

An official warned the spill posed a “severe threat� to sea life and water quality as China’s latest environmental crisis spread off the shores of Dalian, once named China’s most livable city.

One cleanup worker has drowned, his body coated in crude.

“I’ve been to a few bays today and discovered they were almost entirely covered with dark oil,� said Zhong Yu with environmental group Greenpeace China, who spent the day on a boat inspecting the spill. “The oil is half-solid and half liquid and is as sticky as asphalt,� she told The Associated Press by telephone.

The oil had spread over 165 square miles of water five days since a pipeline at the busy northeastern port exploded.

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) – The Taliban denounced this week’s international conference on Afghanistan’s future, saying the “vague and terrible agenda� shows that the U.S. and its allies intend to abandon the country and blame their ultimate defeat on the Afghan government.

Representatives of the U.S. and 60 other countries met Tuesday to endorse President Hamid Karzai’s plan for Afghan police and soldiers to take charge of security nationwide by 2014. Karzai also urged his international backers to distribute more of their development aid through his government.

In a statement posted in English on their website, the Taliban said the conference showed that the U.S. “has lost the initiatives and is unable to resolve Afghanistan issue.�

The statement was distributed to news organizations by the SITE Intelligence Group that monitors extremist communications. “Whatever actions are taken in this regard have already been doomed to a failure,� the statement said.

Report: Turkey ill-prepared for earthquake ANKARA, Turkey – More than a decade after a devastating earthquake revealed dangerously shoddy construction across Turkey, authorities are failing to enforce stricter building codes and protect people from another deadly quake, according to a new parliamentary report obtained by The Associated Press.

Many of the roughly 18,000 people killed by 1999 quakes in western Turkey died in cheaply made housing blocks that pancaked into the ground and turned out to have never been inspected by authorities.

BAGHDAD (AP) – A car bomb outside a Shiite mosque in a village north of Baghdad killed 15 people Wednesday, the third deadly attack in the region in as many days, while a U.S. soldier was killed in a separate bombing in the same province, Iraqi officials and the U.S. military said.

The blast in a shopping area in the village of Abu Sayda also left 21 wounded, Ghalib al-Karkhi, a police spokesman in Diyala province said.

Diyala was once an insurgent stronghold, and the three consecutive days of violence there underscores the fragile

nature of Iraq’s security as insurgents persist in trying re-ignite sectarian bloodshed.

The U.S. soldier, who was not identified pend-

Shiite mosques like the one hit Wednesday in Abu Sayda have been a favorite target of Sunni insurgents who view Shiites as nonbelievers.

JERUSALEM – An Israeli court on Wednesday sentenced an Israeli Arab to 102 years in prison for the murders of a teenage American girl, a Czech tourist and an Israeli man in 2003.

Court spokeswoman Ayelet Filo said Yehiya Farhan was sentenced to three consecutive life sentences, or 102 years. One of his victims, Dana Bennett, was born in Chicago to Israeli immigrants. She later moved to Israel and had just started working in a restaurant in northern Israel when she vanished.

Big Oil plans rapid response to future spills NEW YORK (AP) – Big Oil is trying to assure Washington it’s prepared for the next big oil spill.

ExxonMobil, Chevron Corp., Conoco Phillips and Shell Oil said Wednesday they’ve agreed to pool $1 billion to form a new company that would respond to offshore oil spills at up to 10,000 feet underwater.

The system would deploy equipment that could arrive at a spill within days and be fully operational within weeks, the companies said.

Members of Congress investigating the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig have criticized the oil industry for being illprepared for a major oil spill, and regulators want the industry to develop a thorough spill containment plan. Meanwhile, the White House has imposed a moratorium on deepwater drilling, and oil company share prices have plunged. Stricter regulations are also likely on the way for offshore drillers.

Michael Bromwich, director of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, the federal agency that oversees offshore drilling, said the announcement was encouraging.

Petroleum Helicopters, Inc. employees sign the petition on lifting the drilling moratorium before the Rally for Economic Survival, Wednesday, at the Cajundome in Lafayette, La.

Gathering storm halts work on relief well NEW ORLEANS (AP) – A storm brewing in the Caribbean brought the deep-sea effort to plug the ruptured oil well to a near standstill Wednesday just as BP was getting tantalizingly close to going in for the kill.

Work on the relief well – now just days from completion – was suspended, and the cap that has been keeping the oil bottled up since last week may have to be reopened, allowing crude to gush into the sea again for days, said retired Coast Guard Adm.

Senate approves jobless payments to millions WASHINGTON (AP) – State unemployment agencies are gearing up to resume sending unemployment payments to millions of people as Congress moves to ship President Barack Obama a measure to restore lapsed benefits.

After months of increasingly bitter stalemate, the Senate passed the measure Wednesday by a 59-39 vote. Obama is poised to sign the measure into law after a final House vote today.

It’s a welcome relief to 21⠄2 million people who have been out of work for six months or more and have seen their benefits lapse.

Under best-case scenar-

Thad Allen, the government’s point man on the crisis. “This is necessarily going to be a judgment call,� said Allen, who was waiting to see how the storm developed before deciding whether to order any of the ships and crews stationed some 50 miles out in the Gulf of Mexico to head for safety.

The cluster of thunderstorms passed over Haiti and the Dominican Republic on Wednesday, and forecasters said the system would probably move into the Gulf over the weekend. They

gave it a 50 percent chance of becoming a tropical depression or a tropical storm by Friday.

Crews had planned to spend Wednesday and today reinforcing with cement the last few feet of the relief tunnel that will be used to pump mud into the gusher and kill it once and for all. But BP put the task on hold and instead placed a temporary plug called a storm packer deep inside the tunnel, in case it has to be abandoned until the storm passes. “What we didn’t want to do is be in the middle of an opera-

tion and potentially put the relief well at some risk,� BP vice president Kent Wells said.

If the work crews are evacuated, it could be two weeks before they can resume the effort to kill the well. That would upset BP’s timetable, which called for finishing the relief tunnel by the end of July and plugging the blown-out well by early August.

Scientists have been scrutinizing video and pressure data for days, trying to determine if the capped well is holding tight or in danger of rupturing.

ios, unemployed people who have been denied jobless benefits because of a partisan Senate standoff over renewing them can expect retroactive payments as early as next week in some states.

In other states, it will take longer.

State unemployment and labor agencies have been preparing for weeks for Congress to restore jobless payments averaging $309 a week for almost 5 million people whose 26 weeks of state benefits have run out. Those people are enrolled in a federally financed program providing up to 73 additional weeks of unemployment benefits.

THOMAS SOWELL: Credit card fraud?

Wealthy special interests trump people’s power Ironically, now comes a president who is doing things for the people, and he’s called a socialist.

President Obama is working on lowering middle-class taxes, improving health care for Americans, and regulating those Wall Street interests who nearly brought down the economy.

The prior president gave tax breaks to the wealthy at the expense of the middle class, didn’t give a hoot about trying to fix the health care cost problem and, through favors to corporations and the wealthy, encouraged the atmosphere of wanton neglect toward both the economy and the environment.

Clearly, not many understand what socialism, communism and democracy are. If anything describes us, though, it is plutocracy, where the rich rule. Our democracy is in danger of being brought down by the imbalance in wealth of the richest few and the rest of us. We may have a democratic republic in which the

people elect representatives who consider the issues and decide for the people what the best thing to do is, but most times those decisions are more influenced by wealthy special interests than they are by the people.

All of us have reason to be thankful that we now have a president who cares more about us than the other guy obviously did. That’s the guy who lowered the tax rate for wealthy Americans, who named oil and mining industry leaders to head environmental protection agencies charged with watching those industries, and whose vice president believed that what was good for Big Oil was good for America (think lack of regulations on Gulf of Mexico drilling; also the Iraq War).

That’s the same vice president who said that it doesn’t matter what the people think about the

war in Iraq, the Bush Administration was going into and staying in Iraq anyway. Talk about lack of democracy!

YMCA’s logo change just doesn’t make sense Why “the Y”?

On July 14, the Enterprise printed an announcement about the YMCA changing its name and logo for the first time in 43 years.

The article printed the truth about the story, but the story itself was insulting to anyone with intelligence.

After a two-year study, the YMCA has decided to change its name to “the Y.” The two-year study said the name change is needed to help people better understand the mission of “the

Y” and increase diversity. Both of these statements are so illogical that it hurts. The YMCA was a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping youth.

As a person who has raised money for nonprofits, one of the key things you strive for is name recognition. If “the Y” has enough money to do a two-year study and change every name and logo in 10,000 communities across the nation, I no longer feel the need to donate. Perhaps an audit of this nonprofit is in order.

Guilford should grab extra cash

he Davidson County Board of Commissioners received some well-deserved praise earlier this month for its efforts to save from demolition the 1920s-era Wil-Cox Bridge, which spans the Yadkin River.

Eric DeLony, a Greensboro native and now a national authority on historic bridge preservation, gave commissioners a pat on the back for voting to assume ownership of the bridge instead of allowing the N.C. Department of Transportation to demolish it as part of the replacement project for the I-85 bridge over the Yadkin. DeLony told the Lexington Dispatch Wil-Cox Bridge is the longest of only six of its kind in the state, making it a rare architectural type from a national viewpoint.

Now, if commissioners and Davidson tourism officials play their cards right, the action to save this historic structure could pay some economic dividends down the road.

YOUR VIEW POLL

OUR VIEW

f Guilford County Commissioners need some advice on the proposed GovDeals surplus equipment auction contract they’re considering today, they should give a quick call to Gary Smith, High Point’s fleet services director.

That call to Smith should seal the deal on this vote.

High Point has used the GovDeals Internet auction site the past couple of years to get rid of surplus equipment, including a 1994 75-foot ladder truck the fire department once used. The city has netted more than $1 million since September 2008 using the auction site, Smith told the Enterprise a few weeks ago. Smith estimated that using conventional on-site auctions as in the past, the city would have profited only about $200,000.

And it’s not like this is some new, risky storefront operation trying to take the county for the $10,000 price of the contract. Seventyone of North Carolina’s 100 counties already use the GovDeals site, which has been operational since 2003.

The only downside we see here is that county officials say they still will conduct on-site auctions twice a year even if they contract with GovDeals. Maybe county officials will do a cost/benefits study of that plan and find they’ll likely make more money for the taxpayers with the online auctions, which have a much wider audience of bidders.

This should be a simple decision for commissioners.

Let them build the mosque; it’s the American way

T

hey want to build a mosque two blocks from Ground Zero.

And the outrage burns like jet fuel, the argument billows like choking dust, the questions lacerate like flying glass: Is it right, is it decent, is it morally defensible, for developer Sharif el-Gamal of SoHo Properties to build a Muslim worship center called Cordoba House within walking distance of the place where Muslim men, acting from a perverse distortion of their religion, disintegrated thousands of lives – Muslim, Christian, Jewish, atheist and, we may presume, others.

Sally Regenhard, who lost her son in the Sept. 11 attacks, told The New York Times the idea was “sacrilege.” A man named Scott Wheeler produced an ad accusing Muslims of building the mosque to “celebrate” the murders. Sarah Palin called on moderate Muslims to “refudiate” – presumably she meant “repudiate” – the idea.

And then, there is Rabbi Yaakov Thompson. In an opinion piece for the South Florida Sun Sentinel, he accused Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, leader of the group that would worship at the new facility, of taking chutzpah “to a new level,” even though, he added, “I realize that those behind Cordoba House have no connection to terrorism.”

That bears repeating. Though he acknowledges the people behind Cordoba House are not terrorists, the rabbi still demands New York tell them no. In so doing, he blithely legitimizes the idea that tribe is destiny, that you and I are each individually answerable for the crimes of those who merely look like, talk like, or pray like, us.

That being the case, one wonders how far from Ground Zero the rabbi would think it proper for Muslims to build? A mile? Twenty? A hundred? Or maybe nowhere within the borders of these United States.

We should not be without sympathy for those who cringe at the notion of a mosque so near Ground Zero. Memory of what happened there is burned into us all. To put a mosque there would be an unavoidably painful and provocative thing.

But the Constitution does not carry an escape clause. We do not get to jettison our

national ideals just because they cause pain or provoke. To the contrary, that is the time they are most severely tested and most desperately in need of defending.

And frankly, we ought to be troubled by the easy conflation of Islam and terror into which OPINION we have fallen over the last decade. Yes, we have been helped Leonard in that fall by manifold Islamic Pitts terrorists, from the Fort Hood ■■■ shooter to the shoe bomber to the man who left a crude bomb in Times Square two months back. But we have also been helped in that fall by that xenophobic strain that was seemingly born in us and that, at some point or another in history, has caused us to regard Americans of Japanese, German, Iranian, Irish and French descent with the same suspicion and scorn we now reserve for Muslims.

But this blanket antipathy is now, as it was then, antithetical to what we claim to believe as Americans. How shameful was it that candidate Obama had to keep reassuring voters he wasn’t a Muslim and that no one – not the candidate, not the pundits – thought to say the obvious: What if he was?

Are Muslims not Americans, too? Is that what we’re saying now?

Yes, I fear terrorism. But I find I fear even more what my country has become in response to it – a nation where a “rabbi” can blandly condemn someone, not for his own crimes but for the crimes of some of his tribesmen.

So yes, putting that building in that place might be painful and provocative, but it would also be a reminder of the very values the terrorists sought to kill. And we seem to need that reminder more everyday.

They want to build a mosque two blocks from Ground Zero? Let them.

I’ve learned much from Party on the Plank

R

BY MARK W. HENDRICKSON

I

n most, if not all, states, pupils must pass a course in American history to receive a high-school diploma. Unfortunately, when it comes to our country’s economic history, most students are poorly taught, perhaps wrongly taught. Mythology and error prevail where facts and truth should reign.

Here are three of the most vitally important lessons from American economic history that are widely neglected today: 1) the history of our money, 2) the Constitution’s built-in bulwark against runaway government spending, and 3) government’s counterproductive responses to economic recessions.

1) SOUND MONEY Few contemporary students are familiar with the phrase “Not worth a continental.�

The continental dollar was the paper currency issued by the Continental Congress from 1776 to 1780 to finance the War of Independence.

The continental currency met the fate of all paper currencies not backed by gold or silver.

The Congress, desperate for more purchasing power, printed vast sums of continentals. The resulting hyperinflation rendered the bills nearly worthless; hence “not worth a continental.�

This fiasco wrought devastation. Soldiers, farmers, merchants, and even financiers, were wiped out, impoverished.

Because of this ruinous experience, the founders drafted a Constitution designed to avoid the pitfalls of paper money.

One of Congress’ enumerated responsibilities is to “coin money� (in contrast to “print currency�). The Constitution also stipulates that states settle all their financial obligations in gold or silver.

Having suffered the ravages of paper money, the founders sought to spare us from similar grief, but alas, subse-

quent generations of leaders have steered us away from constitutional money. Instead, we use unbacked Federal Reserve Notes, which are destined to suffer the same dismal fate as the continental currency and all fiat money.

2) SPENDING RESTRAINT There is an instructive incident recorded about the life of the famous frontiersman, Davy Crockett. When running for re-election to Congress from his district in Tennessee, Crockett encountered one Horatio Bunce, a farmer who informed Crockett that he would not vote for him because he disregarded the Constitution. This led to a fruitful dialogue during which Bunce tutored Crockett on the Constitution, explaining that Congress had no authority to give economic charity, especially with other people’s money.

Crockett henceforth was a born-again constitutionalist. (This account is available at www.fee. org. Search: “Not Yours to Give.â€?) “Big Governmentâ€? cheerleaders today dismissively tell us that 18th and 19th century practices are passĂŠ and that the role of government must change. Yes, of course. George Washington and the other founders understood that change was inevitable, and they provided for change.

In his Farewell Address, Washington advised us to alter the Constitution “by an amendment in the way which the Constitution designates,� and later added, “But let there be no change by usurpation� (either by tortured constitutional reinterpretations or by simply ignoring the Constitution when it became inconvenient).

The founders knew that a government that would slip the chains of the Constitution would begin to redistribute wealth and ultimately bankrupt the country.

Now, having ignored Washington’s wise coun-

sel, we face the prospect of bankruptcy that he and the other founders sought to spare us.

3) GOVERNMENT’S INEFFECTUAL RESPONSE TO RECESSIONS Americans deserve a historically accurate account of the ineffectiveness of government intervention during economic downturns.

The current teaching about recessions, and particularly the Great Depression, is riddled with errors.

For example, Herbert Hoover was not a laissez-faire president; government “stimulus� spending does not cure recessions; the Federal Reserve cannot restore prosperity by lowering interest rates and/or inflating the money supply.

In fact, Hoover scorned free markets. He engaged in so much government intervention that Roosevelt accused him of reckless over-spending and socialistic tendencies.

The most effective antirecession policy of the 20th century was President Warren Harding’s anti-stimulus policy of slashing federal spending nearly in half.

More money is not the cure for depressions, as can be seen by contrasting the depression of 1920-21 with the early 1930s. The money supply contracted to a comparable degree both times, but in the 1920s prices and wages were more flexible (that is, free of government intervention), so that they could adjust and bring supply and demand into balance. In short, markets work if government stays out of the way.

On economic issues, the founders had it right.

We can spare ourselves a lot of pain if we heed the lessons of our own national history.

Economically, socially and culturally High Point has expressed a need for greater vitality in the heart of the city. a community event, not a church or Christian event, because I wanted to invite the whole community.

Leaders in the community have sometimes wondered why I’m getting involved outside the church. And leaders in the church have often wondered why I’m getting involved outside in the community, especially throwing a party. However, I have learned that by paying attention to

the soul of a city, what I call pneumagraphics, I can more effectively serve the needs of that city.

Before you say “pneuma—what,� pneumagraphics, coming OPINION from the Greek word for spirit, is the study of the Elijah soul or spirit of a place.

Lovejoy Just as demographics â– â– â– study human characteristics and psychographics study human behavior and attitudes, pneumagraphics focus on the intangible attributes that shape a city, its history, longings, victories and disappointments.

Why do we wish our city to “come to life,� not hurry up and die? Why do we long for a welcoming place to gather at the heart of our city, not rejection or isolation? Why do we hope for the thrill of a party, not depression or boredom? Why do we value an orderly and well run city, not chaos and corruption? As a pastor, these longings make perfect sense. They are earthly expressions of desire that mirror eternal heavenly realities.

We long for life not death because Jesus revealed we are destined for resurrection, not decay. We long for a welcoming place to gather not alienation because our heavenly Father created us to be gathered as family to his royal courts. We seek order not chaos because our Creator subdued chaos to enable life and called us to the same.

Failing to appreciate earthly realities such as birds, buildings and beer, causes us to miss divinely given foretastes of heaven. And failing to appreciate heavenly realities such as resurrection to life, forgiveness of wrongs and a family gathering in courts above, limits our ability to understand the intangible realities motivating us and consigns us to enjoy only the appetizer, not the main course. Thank you again for your generous support as a community and your willingness to embrace something new, even a Party on the Plank. See you next year.

We’ve neglected economic lessons from history

eflecting on the past year of planning for Party on the Plank, I am deeply grateful to our sponsors, planning committee, volunteers, fans and the city of High Point, especially High Point Public Library.

Party on the Plank has been the project of a lifetime, and I am proudest that so many people came together, often at personal cost, to produce a high caliber local event for the community to enjoy. I look forward to next year’s event, which is already underway.

The most frequent question has been, “Why are you doing this?� My answer has been: “need, vision and action.� Economically, socially and culturally High Point has expressed a need for greater vitality in the heart of the city. Party on the Plank is a vision that speaks to that need through a convergence of art, food, music, merchandise and conversation to form a temporary town square atmosphere. And nine committees have worked diligently to put this vision into action. Need, vision and action are what motivate me.

Beyond the “why?� there is a second question. That is the “how?� question. “How are you doing Party on the Plank?� I am both a pastor and a businessman. I have intentionally organized Party on the Plank as

Mayor in upstate NY village quits over racial slur

AP

This cell phone photo taken by a passenger shows oxygen masks deployed over passengers aboard United Flight 967 after it experienced severe turbulence en route from Washington, D.C., to Los Angeles, forcing an emergency landing in Denver on Tuesday.

Passengers tumble in harrowing flight DENVER (AP) – Passengers were thrown from their seats, drinks and loose items flew through the cabin and oxygen masks dropped from overhead when a United Airlines jetliner took a harrowing drop amid severe turbulence on a cross-country flight.

One passenger was left drenched in tomato juice in the turbulence that hit just after flight attendants finished beverage service. A witness said a woman was thrown out of her seat and hit her head against the ceiling. Another hit her head on the wall, leaving a crack near a window.

“Everyone was quite panicked,” 19-year-old Kaoma Bechaz said Wednesday, one day after United

AP

This cell phone photo shows a damaged overhead panel, where a woman passenger hit the overhead hard enough to crack it.

Flight 967 hit turbulence over southwest Missouri. At least 22 people were hurt, but none of the injuries appeared serious.

“The whole plane felt like it was dropping. It was a bit chaotic at the time,” Bechaz said.

Federal authorities are investigating the incident and said it was a top priority to figure out what happened. It marked the third time passengers have been injured in turbulence on United flights in recent months.

The flight had left Dulles International Airport near Washington, D.C., with 255 passengers and 10 crew members and was headed for Los Angeles. It was at about 34,000 feet when it hit turbulence 90 miles from Kansas City, Mo. The plane was diverted to Denver International Airport, where it landed safely around 7:45 p.m.

COBLESKILL, N.Y. (AP) – The mayor of an upstate New York village resigned Tuesday because he was secretly recorded using a racial slur that mocked President Barack Obama’s campaign slogan.

Mark Nadeau told a meeting filled with protesters that he was not a racist and was stepping down as Cobleskill mayor because the controversy was hurting his family. He also apologized Nadeau for saying anything that stirred up hostility.

“My family is number one,” Nadeau said.

“Anybody who knows me knows I am not a racist.”

WASHINGTON (AP) – Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said Wednesday he has apologized to ousted employee Shirley Sherrod and offered her a unique new position at the agency.

Sherrod, in an interview with The Associated Press, said she was considering it.

“They did make an offer,” she said in a telephone interview. “I just told him I need to think about it.”

Vilsack told reporters that Sherrod accepted his apology. He said, “She was extraordinarily gracious.”

The new job offer comes after an embarrassed White House apologized to Sherrod Wednesday for ousting her over her remarks about race to an NAACP banquet in Georgia earlier this year.

Davidson AYP results improve Randolph, Thomasville school districts miss last year’s mark

BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – Davidson County Schools showed improvements with Adequate Yearly Progress for the 2009-10 school year, but the Randolph and Thomasville school systems didn’t do as well as the previous school year, according to preliminary results released Wednesday.

The preliminary results for the 2009-10 school year, which will become official when the State Board of Education meets Aug. 5, show 87.5 percent (28 of 32 schools) made Adequate Yearly Progress in the Davidson system, compared to the previous school year when 71 percent (22 of 31

schools) made AYP. Randolph had 64.5 percent (20 of 31 schools) make AYP, compared to 83.3 percent (25 of 30 schools) for the 200809 school year. Results for Thomasville City Schools, which had two schools meet the standard last year, show no schools made AYP for the 2009-10 school year.

“Our AYP results reflect the commitment of our educators and students,” said Fred Mock, superintendent of Davidson County Schools. “We are extremely proud that all of our Title I schools made AYP, and no school will be on the watch list. ...

If we are to prepare our students for college and career readiness, it is imperative that we show this type of significant increase

in both student achievement and AYP results.”

Under the No Child Left Behind legislation, AYP is a federal accountability standard that shows if schools are closing achievement gaps among groups of students.

This is the eighth year that schools have been measured by AYP. AYP is defined by specific subgroups meeting targeted goals set by the state. The standard is based on test performance of subgroups of students according to ethnicity, race, socioeconomic factors, individuals with disabilities and limited English proficiency. A subgroup must be comprised of at least 40 students and meet each targeted goal that is set by the state.

Breakdown of results. 3B If only one goal is not met, then the entire school will not meet AYP. Sharon Johnson, director of testing and accountability for Randolph County Schools, said her system’s results look “pretty good” in comparison to others in the state.

“Our school system has changing demographics,” Johnson said.

“We had schools this past year that had subgroups they had not had in previous years. One student knocked a couple of schools out of making AYP because they were in a particular subgroup that the school had not had before.” dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

Incoming Ferndale Middle School Principal Angela Jackson talks to parents and students during a meet-and-greet reception Wednesday at the school. ready for the change and quality that Jackson will bring to Ferndale Middle.

“I’m firm but fair, and I hold everyone to high expectations,” she said.

Jackson is a veteran educator with 15 years of experience in the classroom and 12 years in administration and professional development. She has a master’s degree in edu-

cational leadership and a bachelor’s degree in chemistry. She currently is pursuing a doctoral degree in education leadership.

Prior to accepting the job at Ferndale Middle, Jackson was the principal of Lauderdale Lakes Middle School in Broward County, Fla. During her four years as principal at the school, she raised her

students’ performance from a D rating to a B and fostered the growth of the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Program by about 170 students.

“The best way for me to make sure that the children are getting the best education is to be in the classroom,” Jackson said.

“I want to create a culture of feedback for myself

and teachers in order to ensure the success of the students.”

Jackson said she is very appreciative of the hard work and help her assistant principals Chiyanna Young and Katina Little have given to the school and herself during the transition. jhowse@hpe.com | 888-3537

City OKs contract for Old Winston Road project

BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

Wake Forest University School of Law Professor Suzanne Reynolds was named the law school’s executive associate dean for academic affairs.

Reynolds takes over the position from Professor Ron Wright, who has served in the post for the past three academic years.

N. Main Street at Oxford Place to N. Main Street at Bellevue Drive.

The project is being funded with bond money that voters approved in a 2004 referendum.

All necessary rights of way, easements and permits have been acquired.

Approval of the contract allows the work to begin immediately, and all construction is scheduled for completion prior to Dec. 15, 2011.

Utilities have been relocated along the road, but

the project will include additional utility work with the replacement of a water line along the road.

City officials have a pre-construction meeting with the contractor scheduled for next week and should have a better sense then of whether the project may require temporary closures of parts of the road while the work takes place, said Keith Pugh, director of engineering services for the city.

The project will supplement work that has already been done on Old Winston Road between Hartley Drive and Oakview Road, which was widened with curbing and gutters installed.

Pugh said a center turn lane will be added to the entire length of Old Winston Road, along with right-turn lanes at critical intersections. The contract also calls for sidewalks and curbing and gutters to be added along the road.

In addition, the Old Win-

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

ston Road/Oxford Place intersection at N. Main Street will be realigned to give motorists crossing Main Street a straighter path. Pugh said pedestrian crosswalks will be installed at the intersection that have a brick appearance similar to the ones built on E. Kivett Drive a few years ago. The material is actually stamped asphalt that is painted to give an appearance that stands out to motorists. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

NC Ports Authority halts plans for new $2 billion port WILMINGTON (AP) – Advocates for a proposed North Carolina cargo terminal able to handle a coming generation of super-sized ocean vessels bowed to opposition on Wednesday and shelved the project.

The North Carolina State Ports Authority said it will stop working on the port near Southport, which it projected as a “state-of-the-market gateway to the world’s economy� able to compete with the top harbors along the East Coast.

The authority “has heard and respects the concerns voiced by local communities and our elected officials and is placing the proposed N.C. International Terminal project on hold,� it said in a statement Wednesday.

Spokeswomen did not return calls to The Associated Press seeking comment. The authority now operates ports at Wilmington and Morehead City.

The announcement comes three weeks after the authority said it hoped to press ahead despite lack of funding from

state lawmakers for a $10 million feasibility study and opposition from U.S. Rep. Mike McIntyre, DN.C., who represents the area. The state and federal governments would have shared the cost of the study.

The proposed cargo terminal was projected to cost $2 billion to $3 billion when it was built on 600 acres along the Cape Fear River north of Southport, about 30 miles east of the South Carolina border and about four miles from the ocean. It was seen as filling a void of East Coast ports capable of managing the larger container ships that will cruise through the expanded Panama Canal and the Suez Canal.

In the five years since the project’s inception, the authority spent about $10 million on planning, interest payments on the property, and legal and financial fees, ports officials have said.

Opponents last spring filed a complaint challenging the conclusions of a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reconnaissance study as overoptimistic.

The following is a school-by-school look at the results of Adequate Yearly Progress scores for Thomasville City Schools and Davidson and Randolph county schools:

Stimulus pays NC fishermen rebuilding oyster reefs WILMINGTON (AP) – Federal stimulus funds have been doled out far and wide. And deep. Like the bottom of a North Carolina sound.

About 70 fishermen are being paid to scatter oyster shells in shallow waters along the state’s coast, said Ted Wilgis, education coordinator for the North Carolina Coastal Federation.

That includes a 1-acre area in the Middle Sound off Wrightsville Beach that fishermen James and Steven Galloway hope will keep their family business going for years to come. The site will be closed for four years to allow the oysters to grow before they are harvested.

James Galloway, 56, told The Star-News of Wilmington about 75 percent of his income comes from collecting and selling oysters. “It helps us in more ways than one,� said Steven Galloway, 21. “It’s work for now. It’s good mon-

ey. Then in a few years, we’ll have more oysters. It’s sort of win-win all the way around.�

Besides the fishermen, about 65 other jobs for barge operators, lab

‘Eventually, it will grow into a very vibrant, almost like a tropical rainforest under water, but it’s an oyster reef.’ Ted Wilgis Education coordinator technicians, and tugboat captains are collecting paychecks from the coastal federation’s $5 million grant under the stimulus package, Wilgis said.

The project has also paid earlier this summer to create two large

oyster reefs covering 48 acres in Pamlico Sound that will not be reopened to fishing.

The work comes as oysters need to find a hard surface to grow on after drifting in ocean currents for the first several weeks of their lives. The stacks of old oyster shells provide the habitat they need.

Oysters also play an important ecological role, said Troy Alphin, a researcher at the University of North Carolina Wilmington’s Center for Marine Science. Oyster reefs shelter fish, crabs and other small marine creatures, which provide food for larger fish. Oysters also filter and improve the coastal waters. “Eventually, it will grow into a very vibrant, almost like a tropical rainforest under water, but it’s an oyster reef,� Wilgis told Wilmington television station WECT. James Galloway said he has participated in several oyster shell distribution projects over the decades.

Feelings for best friend are burden for bisexual female

D

ear Abby: I am a 20-year-old female who has recently come to terms with the fact that I am bisexual.

My problem lies in the fact that I am strongly attracted to one of my best friends. I have liked her for several years, and she is a large part of the reason I discovered I was bisexual. I know she is straight and won’t ever feel the same about me, but every time I’m around her, my romantic feelings for her start up again.

It has reached the point where I’m considering avoiding her to stop these feelings. None of my close friends are gay, and I don’t feel comfortable discussing this with them. Is there any way I can still be friends with her without being so intensely attracted to her? – Attracted To My Best Friend Dear Attracted: You can do something about your actions, but not about your feelings. You will probably always be attracted to your friend.

You will be less attracted – and better able to handle your feelings – once you have become involved with someone else.

Dear Abby: I have been seeing “Rodney� for four months. He is very nice, and we get along well. My problem is I am not totally attracted to him because of some dental issues.

Shortly after we started dating he told me

he chews tobacco, which has contributed to his yellowing teeth.

Because of ADVICE this I find it hard to Dear kiss him.

Abby Rodney ■■■has noticed it, but I told him I am not big on kissing – which is really not the case.

How should I approach the subject with Rodney?

This issue keeps me from completely falling for him. Please offer me some advice if you can. – Turned Off in South Carolina Dear Turned Off: If you truly care about Rodney, confront the subject directly, because if he doesn’t do something about his addiction to tobacco, your romance won’t last. Tell him you weren’t honest about how you feel about kissing and that his breath and yellow teeth have kept you from fully enjoying it.

Most people don’t realize how dangerous and addictive chewing tobacco is. Studies show that the amount of nicotine in the bloodstream of “chewers� is twice as great as for smokers.

Chewing tobacco is a cause for cancer of the mouth, lip, tongue, cheek and throat, heart disease, tooth decay and receding gums, as well as halitosis (bad breath). Nicotine

gum can help Rodney quit and possibly save his life. So speak up – for his sake. And yours.

Dear Abby: When I was in college, I dated “Alex.� Three months later I found out he had a steady girlfriend, “Jane.�

Over the next two years Alex continued to cheat on Jane with me because Jane wouldn’t have sex with him. I finally told her what had been going on because I was angry, and I ended the relationship with Alex.

Ten years have passed, and I hear they are being married. Do you see anything weird/strange/ wrong with that? If a man cheated on me and later proposed marriage, I wouldn’t accept because the thought of the other woman would always be on my mind.

Would you share your thoughts? – Dumbfounded in Minneapolis

Perdue could take second look at banned games RALEIGH (AP) – Gov. Beverly Perdue says she’s willing to hear ideas on whether to legalize video poker-style games again in North Carolina.

Perdue made the comment on Wednesday, a day after she signed a bill into law that banned computer-based sweepstakes games starting Dec. 1. They often offered games that used to be on video poker machines, which have been banned since 2007. Perdue said the sweepstakes were getting out of control, and said some “kind of concentrated, organized, unified system of regulation� would have to be required.

I’m sure your rhythm problem is atrial fibrillation, a common and serious heartbeat disturbance where the heart beats rapidly and irregularly. One consequence is a drop-off in the amount of blood pumped by the heart.

The second, and the more dangerous consequence, is the formation of clots in the upper heart chambers because blood in those chambers isn’t moving – stagnant blood forms clots. Clots in the heart can be swept into the circulation and to the brain, where they block a brain artery. The result is a stroke. Coumadin prevents those clots from forming.

Many times, the goal in treating atrial fibrillation is only to slow the heart so that it pumps out an adequate blood supply.

Are there other ways of dealing with this rhythm problem? Yes. Ablation is one. It

involves eliminating the heart tissue generating the abnormal rhythm.

HEALTH It’s done by insertDr. Paul ing a thin Donohue tube that’s ■■■ outfitted to deliver radio waves to the specific heart sites from which the abnormal beating arises. Does it sound simple to you? It isn’t.

It’s very intensive work, and requires special training. Generally, ablation is restricted to those younger than you, but not always.

I’m on your side when it comes to taking Coumadin. It’s a bothersome drug, requiring frequent blood tests to be sure that enough drug is taken but not too much. Too much poses the danger of bleeding.

Talk with your doctor about having a consultation for ablation. The doctor might side with you, or tell you that you’re not a candidate for the procedure. At least you’ll have the satisfaction of having tried.

Dear Dr. Donohue: Will you discuss erythema nodosum? I’ve dealt with it since 2006.

It flares up at different times. I wonder if a food allergy or chemicals

could have something to do with it. When I was diagnosed, the doctor did a chest X-ray, blood tests and a throat swab, but not a TB skin test.

– D.A. Erythema nodosum is an outbreak of painful red bumps, mostly found on the shins. Infections can be responsible, especially strep infections. TB is another infection linked to an outbreak, as are some fungal infections like valley fever of the Southwest. Medicines linked to its appearance are sulfa drugs and the birth control pill. Ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease are examples of illnesses that make it appear. You have had this condition for four years.

If you had one of these illnesses, you would be demonstrating other signs by now. You most likely fall into the classification of idiopathic – cause unknown. Food or chemical allergy is unlikely.

Have you tried drugs like the anti-inflammatory medicines – Aleve, Advil and Motrin? How about liquid potassium iodide? It often works.

Severe storm strikes Grand Teton climbers

AP

GRAND TETON NATIONAL PARK, Wyo. (AP) – Rangers in Grand Teton National Park are using helicopters to rescue 13 people injured in a high-altitude lightning storm.

Park spokeswoman Jackie Skaggs says rescuers used two ’choppers to retrieve five climbers Wednesday afternoon and were trying to reach eight others.

Skaggs doesn’t know the details of their inju-

ries but says the first two brought down weren’t serious.

The storm struck around noon Wednesday.

The climbers were above 12,000 feet on 13,770-foot Grand Teton mountain.

Three separate climbing parties reported injuries.

Earlier Wednesday, rangers retrieved the body of a woman who died on a nearby mountain. Skaggs didn’t have any information on the death.

Moreno Valley residents react as authorities confirm that a body was identified through dental records as Norma Lopez during a news conference on Wednesday in Moreno Valley, Calif.

Police: Decomposed body is missing teen MORENO VALLEY, Calif. (AP) – Authorities identified a decomposed body Wednesday as that of a 17-year-old girl who was likely kidnapped while walking home from school last week in Southern California.

An autopsy confirmed the identity of Norma Lopez, but investigators would not release a cause of death.

“I don’t want to believe it’s her,” family friend Melanie Villarreal, 18, told The Associated Press. “We know she’s in a better place.”

Lopez vanished July 15 on her way home from a summer school class at

Valley View High School in Moreno Valley, about 60 miles east of Los Angeles.

Two other teenage girls were found slain this year after being abducted in Southern California.

John Albert Gardner, 31, a registered sex offender, was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for killing 17-year-old Chelsea King and 14-year-old Amber Dubois.

King vanished while running at a San Diego park in February, and Dubois was kidnapped while walking to school last year. Gardner led au-

thorities to the remains of Dubois after his arrest in the King case.

Police and the FBI have not identified a suspect in the Lopez case and have asked the public for help in the investigation.

“We do have a few leads that we’re still following up ... but I wouldn’t say that we’re any closer,” Riverside County sheriff’s Sgt. Joseph Borja said.

Deputies found personal items and signs of a struggle in a field Lopez often used as a shortcut home. Searchers covered the area for several days while the family of

Lopez pleaded with the unknown kidnapper to let her go.

On Tuesday, a resident driving his tractor-mower in a large, remote field found human remains near a stretch of desert road a few miles from the site where investigators had searched.

The decomposed body, shirtless and clad in jeans, was found facedown in a grove of trees.

Gingrich opposes mosque NEW YORK (AP) – Former U.S. House speaker Newt Gingrich on Wednesday announced his opposition to a planned mosque near ground zero, becoming the latest Republican leader to place the project on the national political stage.

In a statement posted on his website, Gingrich, a potential 2012 presidential contender, said flatly, “No mosque.” And he criticized Muslim leaders for suggesting the mosque’s opponents are

religiously intolerant.

“The time for double standards that allow Islamists to behave aggressively toward us while they demand our weakness and submission is over,” Gingrich wrote.

National companies join to make family movie DAVID BAUDER AP TELEVISION WRITER

N

EW YORK – If you watch NBC’s “The Jensen Project” recently you probably won’t realize how much the science fiction movie owes to toothpaste and diapers.

The science fiction movie is part of a broader narrative being written by the world’s largest retailer and the world’s largest consumer products company.

It is produced and bankrolled

by Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and the Procter & Gamble Co. as the second of what the companies hope is a long-running series of family friendly programs they will bring to television.

“The Jensen Project” features LeVar Burton of “Roots” and “Reading Rainbow,” with Patricia Richardson of “Home Improvement.” The “project” is a secret community of geniuses formed to solve some of the world’s problems, and they must fight to keep a new technology from falling into evil hands.

The companies consider it a perfect movie for parents to watch with their children – without bad language or questionable content.

It is material company executives say isn’t often available.

NBC welcomes the relationship and acknowledges that it “truly is programming that the entire family can enjoy together.”

“We’re trying to increase the

supply,” Stephen Quinn, chief marketing officer at Wal-Mart, said. “Our belief was that the demand was there but the supply was short.”

Their first project, the movie “Secrets of the Mountain,” aired on NBC in April and was seen by a healthy audience of 7.5 million people. It was subsequently packaged by Wal-Mart to sell in its stores as a DVD and has sold more there than any other television movie, Quinn said.

and advertisers are often targeted when boycott campaigns are launched.

“You’ve heard of being judged by the company you keep?” said Marc Pritchard, global marketing and brand-building officer at Procter & Gamble, which makes products such as Tide laundry detergent, Crest toothpaste and Pampers disposable diapers.

“We’re judged by the company we keep.”

The companies insist they’re

The companies consider it a perfect movie for parents to watch with their children – without bad language or questionable content.

“The Jensen Project” will get similar treatment, and the DVD will be paired with a soundtrack produced by Randy Jackson with music from Jordin Sparks and others.

The companies say their own research shows their customers want more family material.

What is more important is that consumers have a more favorable view of their products, and a stronger inclination to buy them, if advertisements are associated with family friendly material. And the shows counter an opposing trend: Some consumers notice if a company’s ads are seen in racy programming,

not trying to use their muscle to force out more adult-oriented fare. Instead, they want more alternatives for their brands.

Wal-Mart says it has recently started advertising more on the Hallmark Channel, known for its family movies and reruns of such series as “Little House on the Prairie.” Procter & Gamble traditionally buys more television advertising than any other single company.

Wal-Mart is using many ways to get the word out to its customers about “The Jensen Project,” including promotion on its Facebook page and several blogs aimed at mothers,

Quinn said.

Many of those customers are looking for alternatives. Family viewing is key to television’s most popular show, “American Idol.” But with scripted material, many Hollywood producers and network executives consider family friendly a synonym for dull, particularly when they’re most intent on seeking young adult viewers.

For NBC, a family movie on a summer Friday night is a relatively risk-free move – particularly when the producers paid for making it and have guaranteed that the network will not lose money by airing it.

Wal-Mart and Procter & Gamble have started the Alliance for Family Entertainment with about 40 prominent advertisers, including Hasbro, General Mills and Pepsi-Cola. They have one other movie, “A Walk in My Shoes,” that will be ready to air this fall.

The alliance is also looking to produce series and is working with MTV on a show, “Pedro & Maria,” that will begin this fall, Pritchard said. They would like to enter the growing Spanishlanguage market, too.

The alliance is an outgrowth of the 1990s-era Family Friendly Programming Forum, where advertisers paid seed money to develop scripts for family friendly programming. “Gilmore Girls” was that group’s most prominent success.

Singer Taylor Swift decided to host a live chat to talk with fans about a new album.

Swift said she’s always getting questions from fans via the Internet and social networking sites.

Tuesday she was able to provide answers about her follow up to “Fearless” and more.

“I’ve gotten so many questions from fans – on Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, my website, everywhere really, and it’s so incredible to see how excited everybody is about what’s next,” Swift said in an e-mail to The Associated Press.

“I want them to be the first to know about my new music, and I can’t wait to talk to everybody as directly as I can!”

Swift hosted the chat from Nashville. Fans were able to submit questions on Swift’s website, social networking platforms and Ustream.tv.

Swift was recently ranked No. 3 on Forbes’ list of the most powerful celebrities on social media.

She has 7 million Facebook friends and 3.6 million Twitter followers.

“Fearless” was the top-selling album of 2009 and netted Swift every major award, including four Grammys.

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S Q 10 2 H A K Q 10 4 D 10 2 C A 9 2. Your partner opens one spade, you bid two hearts and he rebids two spades. What do you say?

DRAWS TRUMPS Cy misguessed: He led a diamond. South ruffed, drew trumps and threw his last two spades on dummy’s diamonds.

“Why would I lead a singleton if I had a trump trick anyway?” Wendy growled.

“She cackles a lot,” the Cynic told me, “but I ain’t seen no eggs.”

Given that Cy had spade strength, Wendy should have led the king and then a low spade. She could save Cy from going wrong.

CROSSWORD

Thursday, July 22, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Selena Gomez, 28; Rufus Wainwright, 37; David Spade, 46; Albert Brooks, 63 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Don’t let your heart rule your head this year or you will make mistakes that will be difficult to reverse. Your focus should be on your professional life. Don’t let the uncertainty that surrounds you bring you down.

There is a lot riding on your ability to take over instead of being taken advantage of. You numbers are 3, 11, 14, 25, 28, 31, 40 ARIES (March 21-April 19): The sooner you tie up what needs to be done, the better off you’ll be emotionally, mentally and financially. You may need to liquidate some of your assets but make sure it’s for a good cause and not for someone else’s benefit. ★★★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): A money deal can pan out, but if it entails giving someone financial assistance, keep looking for a deal that is more conservative and less dependent on someone else. Don’t lend or borrow cash, even if it is someone you figure you can count on. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Listen but don’t make promises. You cannot jeopardize your position or your financial situation for anyone, no matter what. Networking may bring you in contact with a lot of people but don’t expect to hear much of the truth about what others are doing or what they have. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Uncertainties revolving around work can be unnerving. Hide your emotions or you will end up in a vulnerable position. Being efficient and fast will show how valuable you are and what you are capable of doing. ★★★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You can bring everyone down or cheer everyone up, the choice is yours, but the outcome will be quite different.

An important partnership will develop if you are positive. Don’t be afraid to start something new if you believe in its potential. ★★★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You have to lay your cards on the table or a horrible misunderstanding will develop. It’s better to face controversy before you get too deep into an agreement that may not favor you. Look out for anyone using emotional blackmail. ★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You can get help but, before you do, do as much as you can yourself. Don’t neglect your personal obligations while you are trying to get ahead professionally. Balance and structure will be the challenge. ★★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Good fortune is heading your way. Past regrets can be taken care of with an act of good faith. Don’t let someone else’s uncertainty or financial choices influence your own money matters. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’ll have to be prepared and ready to respond to whatever comes your way. Stick to the rules. Mishaps will result if you aren’t paying attention. Anger can cost you your job or a good friendship. ★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Tell it like it is. It’s better to be forthright and willing to share if you want to get past any allegations being made. Money, a gift or something of value appears to be within reach. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Do something worthwhile to help others. It will boost your confidence and add new possibilities to strive for. Doing something good is never a waste. ★★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): There will be plenty of action going on around you, making it vital to protect what’s yours. Play by the rules.

Don’t be afraid to share what you are capable of doing. Promote your skills, knowledge and drive. ★★

BRIDGE Today’s East was Cy the Cynic, a shameless chauvinist who thinks a man without a woman is like a neck without a pain.

West was Cy’s perennial adversary Wendy, my club’s feminist.

Against four hearts Wendy led the jack of diamonds, and Cy took the ace and returned the eight, a suit-preference play to suggest a re-entry in spades. Wendy ruffed and led the seven of spades, and Cy took the ace ... and paused. If Wendy held the king, Cy needed to return a spade. If South held it, Cy had to lead a third diamond. Then if Wendy had the queen of trumps, Cy could promote a second trump trick.

HOROSCOPE

ANSWER: To raise to four spades would be careless. A minimum for partner such as A K J 7 4 3, J 5, A 7, 7 6 3 will produce 13 tricks. A system in which your two hearts was game-forcing would have an advantage: You could raise to three spades. Using “Standard” methods, bid three clubs and support the spades next.

South dealer E-W 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.

Five best mind-trip movies really the same person or Jaye Davidson has a penis. That’s a whole ‘nother discussion for another time. No, these are films that ask you to free your mind, and the rest will follow.

Hopefully.

“The Matrix” (1999): The first one, that is, and not the inferior, back-to-back sequels.

This clearly influenced Nolan, with its depiction of an alternate reality in which characters can drop in together and interact with each other – a place where the usual rules of time and space don’t apply.

This futuristic action thriller was just hugely cool and, in retrospect, so influential, from the “bullet time” effect to the bold, S&M-style wardrobe aesthetic. Despite drawing from various religious and mystical sources, the Wachowski Brothers truly created their own original world here.

“Mulholland Dr.” (2001): It could all be a dream. That’s

OS ANGELES – “Inception” is about dreams, and dreams within dreams.

It’s about plundering the subconscious for secrets and, perhaps, planting a few ideas there, as well.

But writer-director Christopher Nolan has done so much more than just recreate the sensation of what happens when we fall asleep. He’s built a complete and complicated world, one that constantly shakes you up and makes you work – makes you stop every once in a while to find your bearings. In a good way.

It’s the most superbly crafted mind trip, and it follows a great tradition of challenging, innovative films.

tions – they’re all there, and they require repeated viewing, and even then “Mulholland Dr.” may not make sense.

Here’s what’s certain: Naomi Watts gave a star-making performance in two different roles in this Hollywood mystery, and a haunting feeling will linger with you long afterward.

“2001: A Space Odyssey” (1968): Vintage Stanley Kubrick: visually striking, mentally baffling, artistically unlike anything else.

The questions it raises may never be answered, and that’s part of the film’s beauty.

This much we know: There’s a monolith, and HAL 9000 won’t open the pod bay doors for Dave, but he will sing “Daisy.” Still, it’s duly one of the most influential sci-fi movies ever made – at once enormous and intimate, balletic and even melancholy.

As a bold piece of filmmaking, it’s very much of its time, yet it still grabs hold of its audience just as ferociously as ever today.

like imagery. Others love the sprawling, existential “Synecdoche, New York.” But this was Kaufman’s first, and it’s my favorite of his. Merely the idea of entering a portal that takes you inside Malkovich’s mind is inspired in itself. It’s where Kaufman and director Spike Jonze go with this concept – an absurd exploration of love and identity – that makes this movie so irresistible and strangely sweet.

“Memento” (2000): And now we’re back to Nolan again, and the movie that put him on the map. With its screenplay-inreverse (which Nolan co-wrote with brother Jonathan), this was an early indicator of the kind of intricate, intelligent puzzle-building that would become one of Nolan’s trademarks. Like “Inception,” ‘’Memento” makes you work. But watching it unfold is a thrill as Guy Pearce pieces together his past through notes and tattoos to hunt down his wife’s killer.

You could analyze it to death to see if it holds together (it does) or you could just go with it and enjoy having him toy with you.

Bzdelik enjoys early days as Wake coach

TOP SCORES

W

---

ith another recruiting dead period at an end, Wake Forest basketball coach Jeff Bzdelik hit the road again Wednesday, heading to Las Vegas so he would be in the right position when the pursuit of prospects can resume today.

The trip is a continuation of the all-out pace at which Bzdelik has operated since he SPORTS resigned as head coach Greer at Colorado Smith in April to ■■■ replace fired Dino Gaudio as the Demon Deacons’ leader.

The transition, he said, has been smooth. He credited his wife for overseeing the move from Boulder to Winston-Salem and lauded retained assistant coaches Jeff Battle and Rusty LaRue for maintaining continuity in the program, including the retention of all five incoming recruits for this season.

The worst part of being the new kid on the block?

Having to repeatedly go over his background while blending into the community.

“That gets a little bit old, having to tell who you are and what you are about,” Bzdelik said by telephone Tuesday as he juggled his day. “But that’s something that you expect that you have to do. It is just part of the territory. It’s not that big of a deal.”

In general terms on the recruiting trail, he is finding life better at Wake, a program that reached No. 1 in the Top 25 polls as recently as the 2008-09 season, than it was at Big 12 doormat Colorado.

“We just didn’t have many top-100 players in Colorado or the surrounding states,” Bzdelik said.

“At Colorado, we were trying to build the program. It is easier to get someone’s attention when you say you are representing a school like Wake Forest, with its academics and its athletic program. But, even if it is easier to get in the door, you still have to seal the deal.”

Bzdelik may very well find the going rougher once the season starts in November. Wake will have just five returning scholarship players available at the start after the graduation of four key seniors and the loss of sophomore Al-Farouq Aminu to the NBA. Of the returning play-

ers, only C.J. Harris, who will be a sophomore, spent time as a starter, while rising sophomore Ari Stewart was the other player who got significant minutes as a reserve. Gary Clark, a guard who will be the only senior, and frontcourt players Tony Woods and Ty Walker – both juniors – saw limited action. Another player, Nikita Mescheriakov, a transfer who was a reserve frontcourt player at Georgetown, becomes eligible in January.

For the Deacons to have a chance for success in the ACC this season, Bzdelik is counting on a recruiting class ranked 13th in the nation and fourth in the conference by Scout.com.

The class includes 6-foot11 center Carson Desrosiers of Lawrence, Mass., 6-6 wing Travis McKie of Richmond, Va., 6-8 power forward Melvin Tabb of Raleigh Enloe, 6-1 point guard Tony Chennault of Philadelphia, and 6-3 shooting guard J.T. Terrell of West Charlotte High.

Given that Harris is the only solid starter returning, every newcomer could earn significant minutes.

Bzdelik declined to say which of the new players will be counted on the most. The biggest holes to fill appear to be in the paint – where Desrosiers and Tabb could start – and at point guard. Chennault could start because there is no one returning, although Harris could fill that spot.

“All will have to contribute for us to be successful,” Bzdelik said.

All of the newcomers are already in class this summer. Bzdelik said he has worked with them to the extent that NCAA rules allow, and has already drawn up offensive schemes, but didn’t elaborate what they are.

“What I’ve told them is that we have to come out and play with a chip on our shoulders,” he said.

“There are a lot of people who won’t be expecting much out of us this season.

So, we’ve got to go out and prove them wrong.”

Bzdelik isn’t overwhelmed by going against the likes of North Carolina and Duke, after having played Kansas, Texas and up-and-coming Baylor in the Big 12.

“I think the Big 12 had the highest RPI of any conference last season,” he said.

Once the season starts, he won’t have to worry about explaining his background anymore. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

WHO’S NEWS

DON DAVIS JR. | HPE

Drew Weaver studies the break on the 14th green as he gets ready to putt during the first round of the eGolf tournament Wednesday at Willow Creek.

Weaver shoots 66

BY STEVE HANF ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

HIGH POINT – Near-misses can be the bane of any golfer’s existence.

Drew Weaver endured about nine such instances Wednesday at High Point Country Club’s Willow Creek course. It’s a lot easier to shake off the disappointment, though, when you’re talking about the differences between eagle and birdie, birdie and par.

“Shoulda, coulda, woulda – I’m not going to be one of those guys who says ‘I should have shot 62,’ ” Weaver offered following his 6-under-par 66. “It’s a solid start, nothing more than that, but it’s nice to not be way back.”

Remarkably, the first-round leader of the eGolf Professional Tour’s Forest Oaks Classic did shoot a 62.

Edward Loar of Dallas blistered Forest Oaks for a 10-under and owns the lead entering the second round.

Golfers who competed at Willow Creek in Round 1 head to Forest Oaks today, and those who competed at Forest Oaks on Wednesday now visit High Point. Following today’s cut, the final two rounds play out in Greensboro.

Weaver was tied for fourth place overall with six other golfers. Daniel Woltman of Beaver Dam, Wis., shot a 64 at Willow Creek and Ben Martin of Greenwood, S.C., fired a 65 in High Point. Thomasville’s Chad

Wilfong carded a 2-under at Forest Oaks and is tied for 51st place.

Playing on his home course, Weaver started on the 10th hole and recorded birdies at the 13th, 16th, 17th, first, fourth and seventh holes.

He nearly aced the par-3 17th, just missed an eagle putt at No. 7, and came oh-so-close to five more birdies on his first nine and two more coming in.

His longest par putt Wednesday was from four feet, and that just once. The 66 was two shots off his career low at Willow Creek, dating to the pair of 64s he fired before leaving for the 2007 British Amateur.

“I hit it really, really well and made things pretty easy on myself,” Weaver said. “The greens are tough to make putts on. As long as you hit a good putt, you kind of have to let it go once you stroke it. I was able to not get too caught up in ‘nearly’ making putts.”

Weaver also owns plenty of experience at Forest Oaks and will be looking for another low round today – going off from No. 1 at 8:20 a.m. – to set him up for a championship chase in his own back yard.

“I feel like, the way I’m hitting it, it’s just a matter of time before I get some really low numbers,” Weaver said. “If I keep shooting 5-, 6-, 7-under each day, I should stack up really well, regardless of the golf course.” shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

Womble advances at Junior national ADA, Mich. (AP) — Defending champion Jordan Spieth of Dallas beat Chelso Barrett of Keene, N.H., 7 and 5 in the first round of the U.S. Junior national championship on Wednesday at the Classic Course at Egypt Valley Country Club.

Davis Womble of High Point also advanced.

The Wesleyan Christian Academy golfer defeated Joey Petronio, 1-up. Womble will face Jim Liu of Smithtown, N.Y., this morning in the round of 32.

The opening round didn’t go as smoothly for 17-year-old medalist Curtis Thompson of Coral Springs, Fla.

Thompson, who finished the championship’s two qualifying rounds at 10 under, trailed Scottie Scheffler of Dallas by two holes with eight to play before he rallied for a 3 and 1 victory.

Thompson’s younger sister, Alexis, won the 2008 U.S. Girls junior championship.

Spieth will play Robby Shelton of Wilmer, Ala., in the second round on Thursday. Thompson will take on Denny McCarthy of Burtonsville, Md. Gavin Hall, 15, who shot a tournament record 62 Tuesday to finish the qualifying rounds tied with Spieth,

one shot behind Thompson, also won his firstround match. Hall, a high-school sophomore from Pittsford, N.Y., beat Brandon Ng of Toronto 3 and 2.

Wilson Bateman, another Canadian from Alberta, was the highest seeded player to lose on Wednesday. Bateman, who like Spieth is 16, entered match play as the No. 4 seed but he was beaten by Aaron Kunitomo of Lahaina, Hawaii, in 20 holes.

Second- and thirdround matches are scheduled for today, and the quarterfinals and semifinals are slated for Friday.

HIT AND RUN

OAKLAND BOSTON

a.k.a. Car-nastie, this morning in Scotland. Both of these events figure to provide some compelling golf.

The Senior British Open is a major for the over-50 set. Look for such top stars as Tom Watson and Fred Couples to battle the wind, cold, rain and who knows what else for the next four days at Carnoustie.

On the PGA Tour, a number of well-known Canadians will be on hand to go for their national championship.

Plus, the Canadian Open ranks as the bestknown tournament Jack Nicklaus failed to capture even once in his legendary career.

Granted, the Golden Bear finished second seven times and added several other top-10s in his 27 appearances.

But he never won the Canadian Open. That’s something you can rarely say about the great Nicklaus anywhere.

Three-time U.S. Open champion Serena Williams and four other past winners head the provisional women’s field for the year’s last Grand Slam tournament.

Ninety-nine of the top 100 women in this week’s WTA rankings were granted direct entry Wednesday into the U.S. Open, which begins Aug. 30. The one missing is No. 12 Justine Henin, a two-time Open champion, who withdrew after injuring her right elbow at Wimbledon.

Williams is recovering from deep cuts to her right foot and pulled out of three upcoming hard-court tuneups.

NASCAR hits Edwards with fine, loss of points

BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – NASCAR officials slapped Carl Edwards on the wrist Wednesday. They also sent Brad Keselowski a message.

The sanctioning body fined Edwards $25,000 and put him on probation until Dec. 31 as part of the penalties for wrecking Keselowski as they came down to the checkered flag in the Nationwide race last Saturday at Gateway International Raceway.

Edwards was also docked 60 driver points, while Jack Roush lost 60 owner points. The points deduction, which gave Keselowski one more point than Edwards for the night, increases Keselowski’s lead in the standings to 228 points over Edwards.

Edwards was on the outside and hooked the Dodge of leader Keselowski in the right-rear corner, turning it into the outside wall, as they came off the fourth turn. Keselowski spun across the track and was blasted by two cars as Edwards won by two car lengths

ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

ARCHDALE – Bobby Labonte isn’t through with TRG Racing.

TRG announced Wednesday that Labonte will return to drive its No. 71 Chevrolets in four races in which it has sponsorship from Taxslayer.com, which would guarantee that Labonte could race beyond the opening laps. He left the team in June after three events in which he was ordered to park in the early laps because of lack of sponsorship.

Labonte has picked up rides with Robby Gordon Motorsports and the James Finch team since then. He will drive for Finch in Sunday’s Brickyard 400, running his consecutive start streak to 600 races. He will drive for TRG next week at Pocono, in mid-August at Michigan, on Labor Day weekend in Atlanta, and in November in his native state of Texas. over Reed Sorenson. Kesleowski, who was knocked across the finish line as pieces of his car flew, got 14th place.

Edwards said he spun Keselowski in retaliation for getting moved out of the way in turns one and two of the final lap. NASCAR announced Keselowski was placed on probation until Dec. 31.

“The incident at the end of Saturday night’s race at Gateway was unfortu-

nate not just for Penske Racing and the No. 22 Dodge team, but for all of the teams that were caught up in the aftermath,” Keselowski said in a statement released by his team. “There was unnecessary damage done to a lot of race cars as a result of the incident, including one of our best cars. We support NASCAR’s decision and we look forward to putting this behind us. Our

focus continues to be working hard to get ... a championship this season.”

A statement from Roush-Fenway Racing, which fields Edwards’ car, said it was going over NASCAR’s decision.

“As with all NASCAR actions of this nature, we will internally evaluate the penalties, and the underlying explanations, prior to making any decision about next steps,” said Geoff Smith, the president of Roush-Fenway Racing.

“We look forward to watching Carl and Brad as they continue to compete on a weekly basis for the championship in the Nationwide Series.”

Saturday’s confrontation is the latest in a feud that has included Edwards flying into the grandstand fence after contact with Keselowski as they raced for victory in 2009 at Talladega, and Edwards sending Keselowski flying into a wall in March at Atlanta as retaliation for a wreck earlier in that race.

Edwards was placed on probation for three races after the Atlanta wreck.

Yankees end Pineiro’s streak THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — Mark Teixeira and Robinson Cano supplied the early offense that ended Joel Pineiro’s seven-game winning streak, and the New York Yankees beat the Los Angeles Angels 10-6 Wednesday to split their two-game series.

Colin Curtis, who inherited an 0-2 count after Brett Gardner was ejected, added a threerun homer in the seventh inning that made it 10-5.

Cano and Juan Miranda also connected for the Yankees, who finished 44 against the Angels this season after defeating

them in last year’s AL championship series.

Teixeira doubled twice and drove in three runs, and Cano hit a two-run shot.

ATHLETICS 6, RED SOX 4 OAKLAND, Calif. — Matt Watson hit his first career homer and Jack Cust added a two-run shot that helped Oakland win its third straight series.

Legendary manager Houk dies at 90 BOSTON (AP) — Ralph Houk, who managed the powerhouse Yankees teams of the early 1960s to two World Series championships, died Wednesday.

He was 90.

Red Sox spokesman Dick Bresciani said Houk’s grandson, Scott Slaboden, told the team Houk died at his home in Winter Haven, Fla. Slaboden, who lives in the Boston area, told the team in an e-mail that Houk “died peacefully of natural causes after

having a brief illness.”

Houk spent parts of eight seasons as a backup catcher for the New York Yankees, appearing in just 91 games.

“People forget that before he was a manager, he was a war hero and he was a catcher for a lot of years,” Tigers radio analyst Jim Price said. “He was a great guy, I knew him very well, and everyone that played for him loved him.”

He made his mark as a manager, managing 3,157

games and winning 1,619 over 20 seasons with the Yankees, Detroit Tigers and Red Sox. His best seasons as a manager were his first three. He took over the New Yankees in 1961 and behind Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris the team won 109 game and a World Series championship.

The Yankees repeated as champions in 1962 and won the AL pennant in 1963, but were swept by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series.

Houk moved into the front office after that series, becoming Yankees general manager in 1964 and ’65.

He returned to managing the Yankees in 1966 and held the job until 1973, but he only had four more winning seasons and never finished better than second place.

He moved on to the Tigers in 1974 and was their manager until 1978, but the team’s only winning season under Houk came in his last season.

HiToms snap losing skid ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

ASHEBORO – Dave Roney hit a two-run homer and Kyle Grieshaber added a three-run double to lead the Thomasville HiToms in a 10-5 victory at Asheboro on Wednesday.

The victory snapped

Thomasville’s eightgame skid. Now 13-31 overall and 3-13 in the Coastal Plain League’s second half, the HiToms visit Gastonia tonight before playing host to Forest City on Friday.

Roney also had an RBI

double as the HiToms struck early against Copperheads starter Ryan Pfaeffle. He left after recording just seven outs, having allowed eight hits and seven earned runs.

The run support was more than enough for

HiToms starter Nate Striz, who pitched five innings of five-hit ball.

He allowed two runs – one earned – and a walk to go with five strikeouts.

Jordan Rittiner worked three innings and allowed four hits and one run in earning a save.

HIGH POINT – Colin Kent of Winston-Salem wasn’t in the championship flight, but came away with the High Point Junior Golf Championship on Wednesday.

Mauldin, who shot 74-72, was in fourth place overall and a shot behind Collin McKenna, Dillon Shoe and Addison Dorn after the first round.

McKenna and Shoe each shot 74 on Wednesday to tie for second with first-flight runnerup C.J. Brown at 147.

Brown rallied with a Wednesday-low 68 after carding 79 on the opening day. Dorn skied to an 85 to finish at 158.

Saban compares bad agents to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;pimpsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; HOOVER, Ala. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Nick Saban didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pull punches Wednesday when discussing the improper contact with athletes by unscrupulous agents, comparing their behavior to that of a â&#x20AC;&#x153;pimp.â&#x20AC;?

The Alabama coach was upset about the rash of recent agentrelated incidents that have resulted in NCAA investigations at several Southeastern Conference schools. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anything but greed thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s creating it right now on behalf of the agents,â&#x20AC;? Saban said in a rant at the Southeastern Conference media days. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The agents that do this â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and I hate to say this, but how are they any better than a pimp? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have no respect for people who do that to young people. None. How

would you feel if they did it to your child?â&#x20AC;?

Agents, not national titles, was the primary topic on Day 1 at the Wynfrey Hotel. Three SEC teams â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Florida, Alabama and South Carolina â&#x20AC;&#x201C; are investigating allegations involving improper contact with an agent. Saban and SEC commissioner Mike Slive both emphatically said it was time for a change to NCAA rules governing agents.

Saban confirmed that Alabama is looking into a trip defensive end Marcell Dareus took to an agentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s party at Miamiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s South Beach. South Carolina is looking into claims from the same South Beach party with tight end Weslye Saunders.

Florida and the NCAA are re-

portedly investigating whether offensive lineman Maurkice Pouncey â&#x20AC;&#x201C; now an NFL rookie with the received $100,000 from a sports agentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s representative between the SEC championship game and the Sugar Bowl.

Pouncey denied the allegation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I did not accept $100,000, it is an absolutely ridiculous claim,â&#x20AC;? he said in a statement through his attorney. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have completely cooperated with the investigation and answered any and all questions put to me.â&#x20AC;?

Saban said he wants the NFL Players Association to get involved and suspend agents whose dealings help cost players eligibility, sending a message through their bank accounts.

JUDGE: CHEERLEADING NOT A TITLE IX SPORT

â&#x20AC;&#x201C;

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Competitive cheerleading is not an official sport that colleges can use to meet gender-equity requirements, a federal judge ruled Wednesday in ordering a Connecticut school to keep its womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s volleyball team.

Several volleyball players and their coach had sued Quinnipiac University after it announced in March 2009 that it would eliminate the team for budgetary reasons and replace it with a competitive cheer squad.

The school contended the cheer squad and other moves kept it in compliance with Title IX, the 1972 federal law that mandates equal opportunities for men and women in education and athletics. But U.S. District Judge Stefan Underhill disagreed in a ruling that those involved say was the first time the cheerleading issue has been decided by a judge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Competitive cheer may, some time in the future, qualify as a sport under Title IX,â&#x20AC;? Underhill wrote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Today, however, the activity is still too underdeveloped and disorganized to be treated as offering genuine varsity athletic participation opportunities for students.â&#x20AC;?

Cowboys brace for camp

Heisman Trust still unsure if Bush should return trophy NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Southern California has already sent back its copy of Reggie Bushâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Heisman Trophy.

The Heisman Trust, however, has yet to decide whether it will be asking the former USC star to return the famous bronze statue he won in 2005.

The president of the Heisman Trophy Trust, New York-based attorney William J. Dockery, said in a statement Wednesday that the organization has not determined when it will decide whether Bush should be stripped of his Heisman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Trust will be considering the issues raised in the USC/Reggie Bush matter, and after reaching a decision will publish it, but due to the complex issues involved and the Trustâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s desire to reach an appropriate decision, no definitive timetable has been established,â&#x20AC;? Dockery said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Until the matter has been fully considered and a decision is reached, the Trust has no further comment.â&#x20AC;?

On Tuesday, USC said

it is returning its copy of Bushâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trophy, among several measures the school is taking to distance itself from Bush in the wake of severe NCAA sanctions.

Bush, who now plays with the New Orleans Saints, was part of the focus of an NCAA investigation that determined he and his family received improper benefits from a marketing agent.

USC also hired former Trojans quarterback Pat Haden to take over for Mike Garrett as athletic director on Tuesday.

The Heisman Trust has been mostly silent during the Bush saga, but because the NCAA ruled he compromised his eligibility in 2005, the eight-person board of trustees could decide to make him the first player to be stripped of his Heisman.

Former Texas quarterback Vince Young was the runner-up to Bush in the 2005 Heisman voting.

It is unlikely that the award would be given to Young if it is taken from Bush.

Instead, it would be vacated.

NCAA asks to conduct inquiry at Georgia ATLANTA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Georgia associate athletic director Claude Felton says the NCAA has requested permission to conduct an inquiry on campus.

Felton says Georgia officials assured the NCAA it will receive full cooperation. He says the NCAA has asked that athletic association officials, coach-

es and student-athletes decline comment until the inquiry is completed.

Felton says the notification from the NCAA came late Wednesday afternoon. He tells The Associated Press the instructions from the NCAA prevent him from disclosing any details about the reason for the inquiry.

Huskers, Sooners picked first DALLAS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Nebraska has been picked to leave the Big 12 in style.

The Cornhuskers, who are bolting for the Big Ten in 2011, are the unanimous choice to repeat as Big 12 North champions in the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preseason media poll.

Oklahoma was picked to win the South division in the poll released by the league on Wednesday.

Nebraska, which lost a heartbreaker to Texas

in last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Big 12 title game, received all 26 first-place votes from media members who cover the league. The Sooners got 16 first-place votes in the South, while the Longhorns received the other 10 votes.

Missouri was picked second in the North, followed by Kansas State, Kansas, Colorado and Iowa State. Texas A&M was picked to finish third in the South.

Texas Tech, Oklahoma State and Baylor round out the South field.

In this April 10, 2010, file photo, Clemson quarterback Kyle Parker rolls out of the pocket during the Tigersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Orange-White spring college football game at Memorial Stadium in Clemson, S.C. Parker says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s returning for his sophomore season and plans to continue negotiating with the Colorado Rockies.

Parker remains Tigersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; quarterback CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Clemson quarterback Kyle Parker made his decision â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and this one had a happy ending for Tiger fans.

Parker, the first Division I athlete to throw 20 touchdowns and hit 20 home runs in the same year, announced Wednesday morning that he will return to Clemson for his sophomore football season instead of immediately embarking on a baseball career with the Colorado Rockies.

He said he will continue to negotiate a deal with the Rockies, who picked him 26th overall in last monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Major League Baseball draft. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am ready to get back to Clemson, work out with my football teammates and coaches and get ready for the season,â&#x20AC;?

Parker said in a statement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The closer you get to football season the more you think about

playing in Death Valley, running down the hill and being a part of the Clemson football tradition.â&#x20AC;?

Whether Parker would return to Clemson was about the only question Tigers fans have talked about since the power-hitting outfielder-designated hitter was selected by the Rockies.

Parker has until Aug. 16 to sign with Colorado.

He told Clemson football coach Dabo Swinney of his plans late Tuesday night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was in a situation where I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make a bad decision,â&#x20AC;? Parker said.

Parker is expected back on campus to work out with football teammates next week, athletic spokesman Tim Bourret said. The Tigers open fall practice Aug. 3.

Parker quickly established himself as an offensive force last season

Schleckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s victory hopes rest on 17th stage PAU, France (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Andy Schleck knows he has one opportunity to win the Tour de France â&#x20AC;&#x201D; on the climb up the Col du Tourmalet in the Pyrenees on Thursday.

He believes the fierce

ascent at the end of the 17th stage is the only place he can wrest the yellow jersey from twotime champion Alberto Contador and put at least a minute between him and his Spanish rival go-

ing into the final weekend of the three-week race. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I will have to be in yellow. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only one chance to take it and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tomorrow,â&#x20AC;?

Schleck said Wednesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With a minute, I would

be happy. But if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better.â&#x20AC;?

The Luxembourg rider is eight seconds behind the defending champion in the overall standings after Contador took the lead Monday.

on a team loaded with experienced record-setters like tailback C.J. Spiller, receiver Jacoby Ford and tight end Michael Palmer. Parker beat out local favorite Willy Korn for the quarterback spot last summer, then was a key part of the Tigersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; six-game, midseason win streak that brought them the ACC Atlantic Division and a trip to the league championship game.

Parker threw for 2,526 yards last season, a school best for redshirt freshmen. His 20 touchdowns doubled the previous high of ex-Tiger standout Charlie Whitehurst in 2002. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whenever you have a returning starter at quarterback who led you to the Atlantic Division title, that is a real plus for your team,â&#x20AC;? Swinney said. Parker â&#x20AC;&#x153;is a dynamic athlete who brings a lot of positives to our offense.â&#x20AC;?

IRVING, Texas (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; For the Dallas Cowboys, the road home could lead to the next Super Bowl.

Since the end of last season, and even before that, Jerry Jones has constantly reminded his Cowboys that Super Bowl XLV will be played at their own stadium in February. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our owner lets us know the game is at Cowboys Stadium and he would love his team to play in it,â&#x20AC;? Pro Bowl linebacker DeMarcus Ware said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are doing everything we can get to get there.â&#x20AC;?

But long before the possibility of being the first host team ever in a Super Bowl, or even playing a 2010 regular season game, the defending NFC East champion Cowboys have quite a summer trip.

Training camp begins Saturday at the Alamodome in San Antonio. That begins a five-week stretch in which the Cowboys will travel more than 6,500 miles, practice in three different cities and play preseason games in four stadiums. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team, everybody wants to see us,â&#x20AC;? receiver Roy Williams said.

Dallas will be the first full squad to begin camp, but Cleveland rookies report Friday.

Rookies for New England and San Diego report Sunday, and every NFL team will be in camp by Aug. 1.

For the third time in four years, 17 of the 32 teams will conduct training camp at home.

Just nine years ago, only five of 31 teams stayed home for preseason workouts.

Super Bowl champion New Orleans opens camp at home July 29.

But before the Saints won the title last year, the previous three Super Bowl winners â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Pittsburgh, Indianapolis and the New York Giants â&#x20AC;&#x201C; had all held camp away from home.

For the Cowboys, the climate-controlled Alamodome will be their base for two weeks.

Obama signs financial overhaul into law WASHINGTON (AP) – Reveling in victory, President Barack Obama on Wednesday signed into law the most sweeping overhaul of financial regulations since the Great Depression, a package that aims to protect consumers and ensure economic stability from Main Street to Wall Street.

The law comes almost two years after the infamous near financial meltdown in 2008 in the United States that was felt around the globe.

The legislation gives the government new powers to break up companies that threaten the economy, creates a new agency to guard consumers and puts more light

WaMu bankruptcy judge OKs examiner WILMINGTON, Del. – A Delaware judge granted a request by Washington Mutual shareholders on Tuesday to appoint an independent examiner who will review claims and assets in the company’s bankruptcy case and also a legal settlement underlying its reorganization plan.

Judge Mary Walrath made her decision after Washington Mutual, frustrated by shareholder demands for information, said an examiner may be needed to advance the case.

Oil falls below $77 as inventories grow NEW YORK – Oil fell Wednesday after the government said crude supplies grew last week and the stock market reacted uncertainly to mixed earnings reports.

Benchmark crude fell 41 cents to $77.17 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. In other trading, heating oil fell 2.06 cents to $2.0041 a gallon. Gasoline lost 0.11 cent to $2.0775 a gallon.

on the financial markets that escaped the oversight of regulators.

Obama described them all as commonsense reforms that will help people in their daily life – signing contracts, understanding fees, being aware of risks.

He went so far as to call the reforms “the strongest consumer protections in history.” The president added to a burst of applause: “Because of this law, the American people will never again be asked to foot the bill for Wall Street’s mistakes.”

Republicans portray the bill as a burden on small banks and the businesses that rely on them and argue it will cost consumers and impede job

growth. Republican Rep. Darrell Issa of California called Obama’s bill-signing a “charade” that ignored the root causes of the financial crisis.

The president said otherwise. He argued that a crippling recession was primarily caused by a breakdown in the financial system that cannot happen again.

“I proposed a set of reforms to empower consumers and investors, to bring the shadowy deals that caused this crisis into the light of day, and to put a stop to taxpayer bailouts once and for all,” Obama said to supporters.

“Today, thanks to a lot of people in this room, those reforms will become the law of the land.”

Wells Fargo profit rises as loan losses fall NEW YORK (AP) – Better payment rates for mortgages, auto loans and credit cards helped lift consumer-focused Wells Fargo & Co.’s second-quarter profit by 12 percent.

The San Franciscobased bank on Wednesday joined Citigroup Inc., JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Bank of America Corp. in reporting earnings that rose in the April-June period as loan losses fell from the prior period.

Wells Fargo, which depends more on consumer banking and doesn’t have the huge investment banking arm of the other big banks, also reported growth in deposits and new accounts, and an uptick in new lending.

“It is early yet to call

these sustainable trends, but it is real progress and it is in the right direction,” Chairman and CEO John Stumpf said in a conference call to discuss the results.

Wells Fargo posted net income applicable to common shareholders of $2.88 billion, up from $2.58 billion last year.

Before the payment of preferred dividends, net income fell 3 percent to $3.06 billion.

On a per-share basis, profit was 55 cents per share, compared with 57 cents per share last year.

That reflects a 17 percent increase in the number of outstanding shares.

The results came in well ahead of the 48 cents per share forecast, on average, by analysts polled

by Thomson Reuters.

Coke sales hit four-year high NEW YORK (AP) – Coca-Cola Co. sold more soft drinks and juices in North America for the first time in four years during the second quarter as soft drink sales stopped years of decline.

Shoppers snapped up smaller packages and new bottles, wooed by discounts, but analysts said the market will likely remain stagnant and the company will keep pushing sales overseas.

Thesoftdrinkindustry’s sales have been declining for years as people focus on health and choose juic-

es and teas instead. That has weighed on North American performance of Atlanta-based Coca-Cola, the world’s largest soft drink maker.

But in the threemonth period ended July 2, soft drinks in the U.S. were flat and the Coca-Cola brand grew 1 percent on the success of new 90-calorie cans and contour-shaped 2liter bottles. That was the first increase for the brand since 2005.

Overall North American sales volume rose 2 percent in the quarter.

Stocks drop on Bernanke comments NEW YORK (AP) – Stocks fell sharply Wednesday after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke confirmed investors’ fears that the economy has weakened.

Interest rates dropped in the Treasury market as investors sought safer places for their money.

Bernanke told a congressional committee that the economy is “unusually uncertain.” He said the economy is fragile, but he did not forecast that it would fall back into recession.

The Dow Jones industrial average, which was modestly higher before Bernanke’s prepared remarks, fell 109 points as investors absorbed his assessment of the economy, and his statement that the Fed is ready to take action if the economy worsens.

Bernanke’s comments, part of his semiannual report to Congress, weren’t surprising given the disappointing economic reports and corporate earnings numbers released in recent weeks.

But they were enough to upset investors who have grown increasingly nervous about the state of the recovery. Some investors may have been hoping for a more upbeat reading from the Fed chairman.

The Fed is still expecting the economy to expand this year, but the central bank has lowered its forecast for growth.

Bernanke open to suggestions to keep recovery going

Sheriff investigating Gibson’s ex for extortion

---

WASHINGTON (AP) – Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke told Congress Wednesday the economic outlook remains “unusually uncertain,” and the central bank is ready to take new steps to keep the recovery alive if the economy worsens.

Testifying before the Senate Banking Committee, Bernanke also said record low interest rates are still needed to bolster the economy.

He repeated a pledge to keep them there for an “extended period.”

Bernanke downplayed the odds that the economy will slide back into a “double-dip” recession.

But he acknowledged the economy is fragile.

Given that, the Fed is “prepared to take further policy actions as needed” to keep the recovery on track, he said. Bernanke said Fed policymakers

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke prepares to testify before on Capitol Hill Wednesday. haven’t settled on “leading options” but they are being explored. Those options include lowering the rate the Fed pays banks to keep money parked at the Fed, strengthening the pledge to hold rates at record lows and reviving some crisis-era programs, Bernanke said.

“If the recovery seems to be faltering, we have to at least review our

options,” Bernanke told lawmakers.

Bernanke is trying to send Congress, Wall Street and Main Street a positive message that the recovery will last in the face of growing threats.

Wall Street wasn’t convinced. Shortly before Bernanke spoke, the Dow Jones industrial average was up about 20 points. Within minutes, stocks began falling and the Dow was down more than 145 points.

The recovery is losing momentum, and fears are growing that it could stall.

“In short, it look likes our economy is in need of additional help,” said the committee’s chairman, Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn.

Sen. Richard Shelby of Alabama, the highestranking Republican on the panel, said the economic outlook has become a “bit more clouded.”

More than 40 percent drop out of mortgage program WASHINGTON (AP) – More than 40 percent of homeowners seeking help from the Obama administration’s flagship effort to rescue those at risk of foreclosure have dropped out of the program.

The latest report on the program suggests foreclosures could rise in the second half of the year and weaken an ailing housing market.

About 530,000 borrowers have fallen out of the program as of last month, the Treasury Department said Tuesday. Nearly 1.3 million homeowners had enrolled since March 2009.

Treasury officials say few of these borrowers will wind up in foreclosure. But

many analysts are concerned that a new wave of foreclosures could greatly impact the struggling housing industry.

Another 390,000 homeowners, or 30 percent of those who started the program, have received permanent loan modifications and are making payments on time.

A major reason so many have fallen out of the program is the Obama administration initially pressured banks to sign up borrowers without insisting first on proof of their income. When banks later moved to collect the information, many troubled homeowners were disqualified or dropped out.

CBS to launch celebrity-hosted daytime talk show LOS ANGELES (AP) – CBS is taking a new view of daytime after the end of “As the World Turns.”

When the soap opera concludes in September, it will be replaced by an hour-long daily talk show with six co-hosts – all women, an echo of ABC’s popular “The View” series.

Those hosting the asyet untitled show include Sharon Osbourne; Sara Gilbert of TV’s “Roseanne” fame; Holly Robin-

son Peete from “Celebrity Apprentice;” Broadway actress Marissa Jaret Chen Winokur; Leah Remini of “The King of Queens;” and Julie Chen, who hosts CBS’ “Big Brother” and “The Early Show.”

CBS said Wednesday the new show will take a moms’ view of entertainment and news stories.

LOS ANGELES (AP) – Sheriff’s detectives in Los Angeles are checking extortion allegations against Mel Gibson’s ex-girlfriend.

Sheriff’s spokesman Steve Whitmore says the agency is looking into whether Russian singer Oksana Grigorieva may have tried to extort the Academy Award-winner.

He declined to offer any other details on the inquiry.

Detectives earlier this month interviewed Grigorieva after she claimed Gibson abused her during an incident in January.
