Cutbacks strike again at Thomas Built Buses ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

HIGH POINT – The up and down year at Thomas Built Buses is turning back down as 219 employees will face layoffs at the end of this month and production will be suspended at a bus manufacturing plant during separate weeks in August and September. The moves are taking place because of a downturn in orders, some seasonal and some brought on by lagging tax revenues for states. Also, Thomas Built Buses lost a contract to a competitor for orders of school buses from the

state of North Carolina in the past year. According to a statement from Daimler spokeswoman Maria McCullough, the company notified “union leadership and employees last week that a temporary shutdown will occur at the company’s C2 bus plant that will be effective Aug. 30.” “Management will adjust production schedules over the coming weeks in all its facilities to match the seasonal demand for school buses,” McCullough said. Earlier this year, Thomas Built Buses recalled 99 employees who were laid off during

2009 because of an upturn in orders, said John Crawford, president of United Auto Workers Local 5287 that represents hourly Thomas Built Buses workers. Crawford said Monday that he hopes some of the 219 workers being laid off at the end of August can be recalled under the union work contract before the end of this year if business improves again. In addition to the layoffs, Thomas Built Buses will suspend production at its C2 bus plant for one week at the end of this month and another week in September.

Debate ensues over FedEx’s impact on PTIA passenger service BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – Officials at two airports home to FedEx Corp. cargo hubs offer differing views on how the overnight sorting operations have affected passenger traffic, though boardings have increased at both airports since FedEx arrived. The issue of the impact on passenger service from the FedEx hub at Piedmont Triad International Airport has come up recently during the airport’s ongoing master plan update. Some members of High Point City Council have questioned whether PTIA is shortchanging passenger service to accommodate freight carriers.

High Point City Council has questioned whether PTIA is short-changing passenger service to accommodate freight carriers. FedEx’s newest cargo hub opened at PTIA a little more than a year ago. An official at Memphis International Air-

port, where FedEx was founded in the 1970s, said the growth of FedEx has contributed to better passenger service. An official at

Indianapolis International Airport, where FedEx has maintained a hub since 1988, said

–

The $300 million FedEx Corp. cargo hub is considered by Triad economic developers as a centerpiece of long-term economic growth and has received the support of area chambers of commerce, county boards of commissioners and city councils.

When FedEx announced plans for the hub, the corporation pledged to create 1,500 full- and part-time jobs when the hub is at full capacity. The hub opened June 1, 2009, though job growth at the sorting facility has been stunted so far by the recession. Hub employment now is 220.

City council puts homes on closure list BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Owners of five homes in High Point will have a year to bring their homes up to standard before the High Point City Council will consider demolition of them. The High Point City Council on Monday night ordered homes on Vandever Street, E. Lexington Avenue, Furlough Avenue, Beaucrest Avenue and Morgan Place to be vacated and closed. The owners will have a year to get the homes up to standard before the City Council considers demolition of the structures, according to city officials.

“They all have various problems that are in many occasions dangerous,” said Councilman John Faircloth, noting that all the homes are currently vacant. “The request is to approve an ordinance to vacate and close so we can move forward in making these homes more habitable.” None of the homeowners appeared at the City Council meeting to speak on behalf of the properties. The five properties are: • 533 Vandever St., owned by Robert W. Henderson Jr. Inspectors found 14 minimum housing code violations, including a rotten porch ceiling. The home was formerly occupied

by two adults and two children. • 2408 E. Lexington Ave., owned by Southeastern Residential Properties LLC and Jeffrey H. Schwarz. Inspectors found 25 minimum housing code violations, including rotten boards on exterior walls, a need to repair baseboard heater throughout the structure and unsafe wiring of the back porch light. All utilities have been put on hold. • 1505 Furlough Ave., owned by Bertha N. Perry. Inspectors found 22 minimum housing code violations, including a inoperable heating system, bathroom baseboard heater not working, as well as loose sheetrock on ceiling in living room and hall areas and loose ceil-

HUB

Critics of the hub, led by residents in northwest Greensboro and north High Point, say greater numbers of cargo jets landing late at night and early in the morning will generate insufferable noise that will ruin the quality of life in neighborhoods within the vicinity of Piedmont Triad International Airport. They also argue that the hub operation will degrade homeowner property values in neighborhoods affected by aircraft noise. SONNY HEDGCOCK | HPE FILE

Attendance down as Las Vegas furniture market opens BY MARILYN NASON LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL

LAS VEGAS – Perhaps the most interesting and surprising fact emerging from opening day of the fifth annual World Market Center summer show in Las Vegas on Monday was the weather. With much of the country still under the spell of prolonged hotter-than-ever temperatures, the 100-plus-degrees synonymous with August in Las Vegas warranted only an occasional complaint from buyers and exhibitors. Of no surprise this year, though, is the expected reduced attendance, the number of empty showrooms in the market’s three buildings and the show’s efforts at creating more show-in-show diverse excitement with launch of both Gift + Home and Vegas Kids merchandise divisions. According to Robert Maricich, World Market Center president and CEO, opening-day attendance

was estimated at down only about 10 percent from last year’s 50,000. Maricich said like most consumer products trade shows in recent years, the economy has forced savvy retailers and exhibitors alike to re-evaluate which shows to participate in and, for buyers, how many days to attend a show to achieve store goals where purchase orders and future inventory mix are concerned. In querying buyers on opening day, most echoed their own similar efforts at maximizing time and expenses at current shows. Like most retailers, prospects for a strong 2010 fourth quarter and 2011 first half year were described as a mixture of caution and some optimism, especially where largeticket purchases like furniture were concerned. As several buyers noted, slow furniture/sleep surface business has made many home decor retailers focus more heavily on categories of home furnishings and/or decorative accessories to perk up

homes at reasonable pricepoints. As a result, this has encouraged several buyers to note they were primarily at WMC to see what exhibitors were showing in these categories not only in existing showrooms but also in the several hundred temporary displays in both Gift + Home and Vegas Kids sections. Meanwhile, following the launch last summer of the World Market Center’s million-dollar sponsorship of “Is It Home Yet Campaign” to promote National Home Furnishings Month, this year’s event was announced for Sept. 18-26. Highlighting the second annual nationwide home furnishings event, participating retailers will encourage consumers to enter to win the grand prize, highlighted by paying the winner’s home mortgage for one year. At this market, retailers were offered complimentary ad tool kits from WMCLV to promote the sweepstakes.

the hub’s presence hasn’t had a dramatic impact on boardings, though passenger traffic has increased. FedEx’s growth in Memphis has led to more business travel, said Larry Cox, president and chief executive officer of Memphis International Airport. “FedEx has increased the demand for passenger services at this airport. Having FedEx here has drawn in innumerable businesses that have

located here, and their employees travel across the United States,” he said. One example of FedEx’s spinoff passenger service benefit involves Delta Airlines, Cox said. Memphis is the smallest airport with a Delta hub at a time when airlines have reduced passenger hubs at larger airports, he said. Boardings at Memphis International Airport increased 26 percent from 3.8 million in 1992 to 4.8

ACCURACY

ness and leisure travel,” said Susan Sullivan, director of communications for the Indianapolis Airport Authority. Still, the presence of the hub doesn’t appear to have deterred passenger service. The number of boardings at Indianapolis International Airport has more than tripled from 2.6 million in 1988, when the hub opened, to 8.2 million last year, according to airport figures.

Authorities settle with lender over mortgage scheme ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

TRIAD – The N.C. Office of the Commissioner of Banks announced Monday that WR Starkey Mortgage has agreed to pay $26,000 to each of 171 homeowners victimized as part of a scheme related to the sale and financing of overpriced manufactured and modular homes sold by Phoenix Housing Group Inc. In addition to the $4.4 million repayment, Starkey has undertaken

changes to its management and operation, provided nearly $300,000 in additional refunds to other North Carolina borrowers for alleged violations of law and made a $361,000 contribution to the State Home Foreclosure Prevention Project to assist struggling homeowners in avoiding foreclosure, the Commissioner of Banks reports. The settlement covered homeowner financing in the Triad. The settlement

involved six properties in Gibsonville, four in Lexington, three in Asheboro and one each in Thomasville, Denton and Trinity, according to the Commissioner of Banks. The list of borrowers believed to be entitled to refunds was generated as part of an examination by the Commissioner of Banks of one of its licensees. Under state law, records related to such an examination are confidential and not subject

to public inspection, the agency reports. In agreeing to the settlement, Starkey has neither admitted nor denied allegations against the company. The Commissioner of Banks alleged that Starkey had committed numerous violations, including that some Starkey employees or agents placed inaccurate, positive rental histories on consumers’ credit reports to boost the consumers’ credit worthiness

to qualify consumers for loans they would not have qualified for otherwise. Starkey has made management changes, including removing top executives, as part of the settlement, the Commissioner of Banks reports. The N.C. Department of Justice will send letters to homeowners who are eligible for a $26,000 refund from Starkey. Starkey is headquartered in Plano, Texas, and does business in 13 states. Starkey continues

to do business in North Carolina as a licensed mortgage lender, and its state branches include ones in Greensboro and Winston-Salem. The Commissioner of Banks, based in Raleigh, regulates state-chartered banks, savings and loans, trust companies, more than 600 lending professionals and 6,800 loan officers and numerous consumer finance companies, check-cashers and other financial services.

Trial of accused NC terrorists may be held in New Bern MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

The federal trial of seven alleged terrorists could be held in U.S. District Court on Middle Street in New Bern next year. A tentative trial date had been set for next month in New Bern, but the case was continued because thousands of pages of Arabic documents had to be translated, according to district court officials. A U.S. District Court spokeswoman, Robin Zier, told the Sun

Journal that the trial could be held sometime next year, but no court has been designated. “It could be held in U.S. District Court in New Bern or Raleigh. Chief U.S. District Court Judge Louise Flannigan is assigned the case,” she said. Facing charges are Daniel Patrick Boyd, 39, the suspected ringleader of the group; Hysen Sherifi, 24, a Kosovan immigrant who legally relocated to the Raleigh area; Anes Subasic, 33; Zakariya Boyd, 20; Dylan Boyd, 22;

Mohammad Omar Aly Hassan, 22; Ziyad Yaghi, 21. All are U.S. citizens except for Sherifi. They all face life sentences if they’re convicted of the charges of conspiracy to take part in a terrorist plot. The men were indicted July 2009 and for conspiring to murder, kidnap, maim and injure persons abroad. Daniel Patrick Boyd of Johnston County went under the alias of Saifullah. The indictment said Boyd trained in Afghanistan from 1989 to 1992 and fought in the So-

viet war in Afghanistan, which ended in 1989. Boyd was married and operated a dry wall business. Across the street from the federal courthouse in New Bern is Centenary Methodist Church, which also has a day care facility. Senior pastor the Rev. Susan Pate Greenwood said no notices had been sent to parents of day care students because no notification of a trial date has been made. “There had been rumors, but no official notification from federal officials had been made with church officials,” she said.

GREENSBORO – The oldest of four youths arrested Friday in the burning of a puppy made his first appearance in court today. Police believe the children, ranging in age from 10 to 17, poured a flammable liquid on a cloth, attached it to the puppy and then set it on fire. Judge Jan Samet ordered Monday that Harvey Gales Jr., 17, of 7 Pear Tree Court remain in jail under a $25,000 bond. A woman who identified herself as Gales’ mother attended the court appearance and asked the judge to lower his bond or release the teen into her custody so that he wouldn’t miss school, which starts in a few weeks. Gales was charged with felony cruelty to animals, felony burning of personal property and felony conspiracy. He has no prior adult criminal record. Two 15-year-olds were also charged with burning the puppy and were placed in the Regional Juvenile Detention Center. A 10-year-old was charged and released into the custody of a parent.

Crew rescued from burning trawler MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

BEAUFORT – A Sneads Ferry-based shrimp trawler was destroyed in a fire as its crew headed to Pamlico Sound to work. Capt. Steve Raynor and a mate made it safely to shore, but the 55-foot Miss Melodie received extensive damage and

sank to her side along the banks of the Intracoastal Waterway in Carteret County Sunday. Casey Raynor, the son of Capt. Raynor, said family and friends had come together to help and were headed back to the site Monday to begin clean-up and salvage efforts. “We’ve got our hands full now, but we’re going

to try to get it done as soon as possible,” he said. The first step, he said, is making sure any fuel tanks are cleared of the water and any fuel remaining on the boat is pumped out. They estimate that there were about 1,000 gallons of fuel were in the trawler’s fuel tanks at the time of the fire and believe a lot of it burned up.

Citizens should control salaries of public officials The government salary incident in Bell, Calif., is one of numerous examples of why citizens should be in control of their elected officials’ salaries and pensions. When I was a kid, my dad told me that the president, Congress and police officers worked for the people. Was he wrong? I have never heard of the people of any city, county or state deciding how much “their’’ government employees should be paid, or whether they should receive a raise or pension. Why shouldn’t we citizens have the power to determine “our’’ employees’ salaries? I think that the maximum government wage on the federal level should be $100,000. The maximum government wage on the state level shouldn’t exceed $50,000. County and city employees should make less. I don’t think that new government employees should receive pensions. By the way, how much money was spent on government salaries and pensions in our state last year? We will never know because government pensions are secret in our state. That isn’t fair. Do

ranted, he took a cue from John F. Kennedy’s inauguration speech – “Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country” – but Strib Boynton hit the nail squarely on its head at the State of the Community luncheon last week. “What can you do for your community?” High Point’s city manager asked during his presentation. If you are not happy with the current state of the city, the second decade of the 21st century, which begins Jan. 1, 2011, provides an excellent opportunity for you to make a difference. If you desire to see good things happen in the community, if you desire to reap the benefits of an improve quality of life (for all), if you have this burning desire to see parts of downtown redeveloped, you have the power to do so. Take to heart these words from Mahatma Gandhi: • “Be the change that you wish to see in the world.” • “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” • “The future depends on what you do today.” As Boynton explained at the Chamber of Commerce-sponsored luncheon that, more than a decade ago, citizens voiced concern over crime levels and public safety leaders led efforts to “take back neighborhoods” by asking those citizens, “What can you do to help?” Various neighborhood groups emerged and, working together, created what has evolved into High Point Community Against Violence. That organization “was formed in 1997 to reduce violent crimes in High Point and keep our citizens safe from violent offenders.

Perdue can improve both political, state bottom lines

ov. Beverly Perdue remains one of the most unpopular governors in recent North Carolina history. But lately, she’s been toying publicly with some ideas that could help boost her political bottom line a bit – while also boosting the state’s fiscal position. As the Associated Press reported a week or so ago, Perdue made two interesting statements while signing some 2010 legislation into law. After affixing her signature to the General Assembly’s latest, ill-advised attempt to prohibit video gambling, the governor indicated that she might be willing to rethink the idea of legalizing it during a future legislative session. And after signing a bill promising to clean up corruption around North Carolina’s system of government-owned liquor stores, Perdue said that she was willing to consider the next step: privatizing all or part of the ABC system. Based on the experience of other states, it is likely that proceeds from selling the ABC system would be in the hundreds of millions of dollars. It is possible that the inventory, stores, and real estate could be worth even more. We’ll never know unless we take bids. These asset-sale proceeds could be shared among the state and local governments, giving them one-time revenue to use to offset one-time expenditures, pay down debt, or complete capital projects without drawing on general taxes. Furthermore, converting governmentowned property into viable, taxpaying businesses has long-term revenue implications – at least partially and probably fully offsetting the lost of annual revenues that localities have lobbied so furiously for so long to prevent. As is now widely recognized, North Carolina state and local governments have a large structural deficit. Our politicians have promised much more in

government spending than can be financed at currently scheduled tax rates. At the state level, the gap is in the billions of dollars. Add in the local level and the number swells by several hundred million OPINION dollars. The current leaders of the John legislature, state governHood ment, and many localities ■■■ plan to address the structural deficit in 2011 with another round of costly tax increases. Does Gov. Perdue agree with this plan? Perhaps ideologically. But surely she has sense enough to know that any governor signing a multi-billion-dollar tax increase months before beginning her re-election campaign is a governor unlikely to succeed in her reelection campaign. Any organization facing the kind of chronic deficits North Carolina state government faces should be searching its balance sheet for low-performing assets to sell off. Households do it all the time. So do businesses and nonprofits. In the case of our state government, obvious candidates for asset sales would include land, office space, and state-owned enterprises such as liquor stores. Yes, some voters might be queasy about North Carolina opening up the liquor business to private vendors. But these voters are unlikely to support Perdue for reelection in any event. On the other hand, swing voters who focus mostly on economic issues might well reward a governor who finds an innovative way to balance government budgets without raising taxes. Perdue ought to consider taking that job. JOHN HOOD is president of the John Locke Foundation and publisher of CarolinaJournal.com.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) – After insisting for months that a pair of costly relief wells were the only surefire way to kill the oil leak at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico, BP officials said Monday they may be able to do it just with lines running from a ship to the blownout well a mile below. As crews planned testing late Monday to determine whether to proceed with a “static kill” to pump mud and perhaps cement down the throat of the well, BP Senior Vice President Kent Wells said if it’s successful the relief wells may not be needed, after all, to do the same weeks later from the bottom. The primary relief well, near completion, will still be finished and could be used simply to ensure the leak is plugged, Wells said. “Even if we were to pump the cement from the top, we will still continue on with the relief well and confirm that the well is dead,” he said. Either way, “we want to end up with cement in the bottom of the hole.” Government officials and

Group reaches out Randolph Art Guild issues call for donations after funding loss BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

RANDOLPH COUNTY – A Randolph County nonprofit aimed at promoting the arts has made some adjustments after its funding was recently eliminated by the Randolph County Board of Commissioners. Randolph Arts Guild Executive Director Derrick Sides recently issued a letter calling on donations for his organization. In June, commissioners eliminated the $15,000 that was requested by the guild. “In the short term, it kind of puts us back on our heels a little bit because we knew things were tight, but we kind

of expected it,” Sides said. “With the change coming as quickly as it did, we had to do a lot of shuffling around to make sure we could keep our programs and services going for the community with a little less cash on hand in the short term. “It’s one of those things where we try to reach out to the county and provide services for everybody. We feel like even when things get tight, the arts are important because it allows people to have the opportunity to sort of express themselves and connect with their community.” Along with the Randolph Arts Guild, commissioners made 3 percent cuts to edu-

Commissioners had to make cuts to avoid a 9.1-cent property tax increase. Instead, commissioners approved a 3.1-cent tax increase. “We understand that commissioners really had to make some tough deci-

sions and they cut all the departments,” Sides said. “We would have preferred of course to see a cut than to see an elimination because we feel like the arts are important and when things turn back around, we want to be able to be the county’s partner in making Randolph County a great place to live.

the budget even if it was at a reduced amount, just to stay in the fight with them.” Sides said the Randolph County Arts Guild annually sponsors a fall festival, which has attracted more than 100,000 people. The organization also has a summer arts program. “At the end of the day, we are all working to make sure tomorrow is a little bit better than it is today. That’s why we feel like it’s worth the fight,” he said. Sides said people can make donations by sending checks to the Randolph Arts Guild. Checks should be made payable to the Randolph Arts Guild and should be sent to P.O. Box 1033, Asheboro, N.C. 27024. For more information, visit randolphartsguild.com.

With an increase of new families, she believes families of students who utilize the program are requesting assistance through COAT this summer. “We can only assume that the backpack families are coming this summer to get food so their children will have food to eat during the summer,” Walker said. “We are hoping that this is the case because we ended the

school year with 265 children on backpacks a week.” Walker said out of the pantry’s five freezers of meat, there is only one that has some in it. With not a lot of meat, the nonprofit has had to give smaller portions to its clients. “This is a Christian ministry,” Walker said. “We are supported by area churches, businesses, the community ... but there are times that all

of our resources exhausted. We are fortunate that we have never completely run out of food or ever closed our pantry. We don’t intend to.” Walker said the nonprofit is need of peanut butter, jelly, canned fruits, canned meats, canned pasta, canned soup, cereals, dry beans, flower and sugar. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

Deadline nears for parents to prepare kids for school ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

GUILFORD COUNTY – While scheduling school visits this month, parents also need to go down their children’s health checklist before school starts. The school district will hold open houses for its 120 elementary, middle, high and alternative schools this month. Parents and guardians can join their students to meet teachers, visit classrooms and learn more about special programs. Here are some things for the checklist: • Vaccines: Get all the required vaccinations for school entrance and attendance before school starts. Those include the Tdap (tetanus/diphtheria/pertussis) booster shot for children

who are entering the sixth grade or who are 12 years of age on or after Aug. 1 if five or more years have passed since the last dose. Vaccinations required by the state are provided at all local health departments and are available at pediatricians’ offices. Consider getting the recommended vaccinations such as influenza, HPV, and MCV4 (measles). Make sure you have a shot record. Be prepared to present this to school officials or your school nurse. • Physical exam: Children starting kindergarten must obtain a physical exam before school begins. The Kindergarten Health Assessment form that must be completed is available at your child’s school or online at www.nchealthyschools.org.

REMINDERS

Open house: To see the open house schedule, visit www.gcsnc.com. Classes start Aug. 25 at most schools. Shots: Childhood immunizations required by law for school will be available free at the public health department for students up to age 18. If immunizations are recommended, there may be a fee, but most major insurances are accepted to lower out-of-pocket expense. To make an appointment for an immunization at the Department of Public Health, call 641-5563 in Greensboro or 845-7655 in High Point. Contact the School Health Program of the Guilford County Department of Public Health at 641-7777.

• Medications: Provide needed medications in the original bottle or carton with a completed medication form. The form is available at your child’s school. Provide the school with in-

Perdue signs ethics legislation RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Gov. Beverly Perdue boasted Monday that she and legislators beefed up state laws to improve public trust in state government, hoping to counter perceptions that Democrats were beset by scandal. Legislation Perdue signed into law Monday was the latest response to a series of corruption and campaign finance investigations over the past decade that have rocked the Democrats who control state government. An earlier spate of scandals produced dramatic ethics and lobbying changes in 2006. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The folks in this state have every right to expect and deserve integrity and honest services from their public servants,â&#x20AC;? Perdue said.

In this photo provided by the North Carolina Zoo, Maki, a 16-year-old chimp, holds her infant shortly after giving birth Monday at the zoo in Asheboro.

N.C. Zoo welcomes baby chimp ASHEBORO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A female chimpanzee has been born at the North Carolina Zoo, the first of its species born there in 12 years. A statement from the zoo said the yet-to-be-named infant was delivered around 7:30 a.m. on Monday.

The mother is Maki, a 16-yearold female who was born at the N.C. Zoo. The father is Sokoto, a nineyear-old male who came to Asheboro in 2007 from the Miami Metro Zoo. Both mother and infant were

in good condition Monday afternoon and officials expect them to be on exhibit when the zoo opens on Tuesday. The birth brings the number of chimps in the N.C. Zoo to 13 and remains the largest chimp troop in U.S. zoos.

Exam performance is true test of an education

ear Abby: I would like to comment on your May 29 reply to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Helping or Cheating?â&#x20AC;? the young lady who has been helping her boyfriend with his homework. I can see where someone might find this a problem. I retired a few years ago after 35 years as an educator and still substitute teach three to five days a week. I feel I can speak for many teachers on this matter: For years, teachers have used a method called â&#x20AC;&#x153;peer tutoringâ&#x20AC;? in and out of the classroom. From the information given, what that girl is doing sounds like textbook tutoring. Personally, I feel itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s far better to have help and see a word spelled correctly, a sentence constructed properly or a math problem worked correctly, than to have the mistake reinforced. In most cases, homework is just for practice, and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Roryâ&#x20AC;? should have ample opportunity in class to show the teacher what he can do on his own. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 35 Years And Counting Dear Counting: Thank you for your input as an educator. I tried to reach the young woman who wrote that letter so I could ask if her boyfriendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s test results had improved as a result of her efforts, but was unable to make contact. Frankly, I was sur-

prised at the amount of mail her letter generated from teachers, one of whom inADVICE formed me that â&#x20AC;&#x153;most Dear teachers Abby donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t check â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; homework for accuracy, just that the homework was completed.â&#x20AC;? Could this be part of what has gone wrong with our educational system â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that teachers have become so overwhelmed by the size of their classes that they can no longer give their students the individual attention they need? If so, how sad for all of us. Read on: Dear Abby: I used to teach at the university level. For 20 years I watched this happen. Never once was it the boyfriend â&#x20AC;&#x153;helpingâ&#x20AC;? the girlfriend. If we got two essays on the same topic, it was always the girlfriend who had written it, while the boyfriend who â&#x20AC;&#x153;studied with herâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;used it as a modelâ&#x20AC;? ended up handing in a distorted version of the same paper â&#x20AC;&#x201C; same quotes, same structure, reworded sentences. The boyfriends were slacking off; their girlfriends were doing the work. I have talked about this with other profes-

sors; only one could cite a single exception to this rule. Thank you for telling that young woman to stop doing his homework and please, Abby, let your readers know the issue is systemic. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Exprof. in Idaho Dear Abby: There is a very fine line between good tutoring, poor tutoring and cheating. The best indicator is how the young man does on his exams. If he has significantly improved on his ability to do the problems in a test situation, then I lean toward the idea that good tutoring was done and suggest the students continue the process. If there has been no improvement, he should go to the teacher for extra help. Math is an extremely difficult subject for many people. However, when a student gets Fâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on his tests and after coming to me gets Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Bâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s from then on, I suspect some learning has occurred. The teacher should review the tests the boyfriend takes and either tell the sister to go fly a kite or change methods â&#x20AC;&#x201C; depending on the scores. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Tutor In Reno, Nev.

New police chief wants to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;enhance trustâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

GREENSBORO â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Greensboroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new police chief said Monday his priorities are to inspire community trust in the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s police department, create and enhance pride among officers and continue efforts that have led to declining crime rates. Ken Miller, 45, a veteran police officer who serves as deputy police chief at the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department, was introduced as the Greensboro police departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest leader at a news conference. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As I begin my work here, I will work with the men and women in uniform to re-invigorate their esprit de corps and, together, we will work with the community to enhance its trust in the Greensboro Department,â&#x20AC;? Miller said. The new chief, who starts work Sept. 1, was selected from more than 200 applicants. Millerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s primary challenge will be to move the department forward after years of controversy and public mistrust, which has roots dating before to the 2006 resignation of former police Chief David Wray. Miller said he is familiar with the problems and they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t deter him in seeking the job.

New service boosts train ridership RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The addition of a midday train between North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two largest cities has increased ridership on the state-sponsored passenger rail service. The state Department of Transportation announced on Monday that the Piedmont midday service between Raleigh and Charlotte helped increase ridership by nearly 200 percent over last June from 5,258 to 15,426.

The new train service began on June 5. It builds upon the existing Piedmont service, which runs morning and evening trains between the cities. The new service is expected to attract 43,000 new passengers in its first year. For the period from last October through June 2010, Piedmont ridership is up 26 percent over the same period one year ago.

Perdue also signed a second measure reacting to a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that threatened to overturn a state ban on corporate election spending. The government ethics legislation toughens penalties for illegal campaign donations above $10,000 and expands personnel information that must be released to the public about state employees. Members of state boards and commissions must account for campaign fundraising activities conducted for the elected officials who appointed them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got the good of the public at heart, then there is no place in this enterprise for personal gain,â&#x20AC;? Perdue said.

No worm in ringworm

ear Dr. Donohue: Please explain ringworm to me. I have a rather large one at the top of my leg. My doctor prescribed ketoconazole cream. I’ve used it for longer than a week, but it’s no better. My girlfriend’s daughter just graduated from medical school. She told her mother that there’s a worm in the center. Surely this isn’t true, is it? What causes ringworm? I am 81 years old. – V.C.

BLONDIE

Ringworm got that name because the circular patch of red skin is surrounded by a slightly raised border that looks like a worm. It never looked like a worm to me, but it must have to the guy who gave it this name. The medical name is tinea, a Latin word for “worm.” It’s a fungal infection, and more common in younger than older people. The infection can be in many different places: on the head, it’s called tinea capitis; on the body, tinea corporis; on the feet, tinea pedis, or athlete’s foot. People catch ringworm fungi in many ways. Usually it’s from infected skin scales that have fallen off a person with ringworm. Shower-room floors, locker rooms and similar places are where most infections are caught. Wrestlers get it from skin-toskin contact. Sometimes animals are involved, but not too often. An infection is mostly a visual thing. Most people have no symptoms. When they do, itching is

the biggest complaint. Thirteen creams, gels or lotions are available to treat HEALTH ringworm. Yours Dr. Paul is one Donohue of them. ■■■ They’re usually effective. If they aren’t getting the job done, oral medicines can finish the fungus off. You’re at an age when ringworm infections are not common. You have not been in situations or places where transfer is probable. I’m skeptical about the diagnosis. Next time you see the doctor, poke him or her in the chest and say: “Look, doc, I want some proof. Take some skin scrapings and let me see the fungus with your microscope or send those scrapings to the lab for culture.” And as an aside, please don’t tell me the name of the medical school your friend’s daughter graduated from. Dear Dr. Donohue: I am 75 years old. I can’t eat Splenda, diet candy, diet gelatin or diet anything. I can eat only Equal. The others give me diarrhea. What’s wrong with me? – J.O. Nothing’s wrong with you. Your body might have an intolerance to those other artificial sweeteners. Humans are not carbon copies of each other.

In large amounts, artificial sweeteners can bring on gas, bloating and diarrhea. Alcohol sugars, which are neither alcohols nor sugars, are nonsugar sweeteners that, in excess, cause diarrhea. They’re found in sugarless gums, candies and other products. If you tolerate Equal, you should be able to tolerate NutraSweet. Both are the same artificial sweetener aspartame. Dear Dr. Donohue: Last week, while looking in a mirror, I was shocked by the sight of my tongue. It was covered with red patches having white borders. I called my dentist and asked to be seen right away. The receptionist gave me a hard time, but she grudgingly got me in. The dentist was just as abrupt with me. He dashed in, and I showed him my tongue. He said it was geographic tongue, and it wasn’t an emergency, and there was nothing to do for it. Then he dashed out. I felt like a fool. Can you give me a little more information? – C.N. Geographic tongue is a tongue with red patches that have a white border. What’s really spooky is that the shape and distribution of the patches change. The tongue looks like a relief map. That’s where the “geographic” comes in. Things straighten out in time. No treatment is needed. You might want to consider a change of dentists.

My family and I would like to take this opportunity to offer our deepest and most heartfelt thanks to the staffs of both High Point Regional’s sixth floor and Hospice Home for their efforts during the recent illness and passing of my mother. Everyone we met during Mother’s final days on this Earth went above and beyond their call of duty to make her and our entire family as comfortable as possible during this difficult time. Given all that is wrong with our healthcare system today, it was nice to be reminded that there are still true professionals working diligently on the front lines to care for those in need. We will always cherish the memories Mother left behind. Although fond memories are seldom built around nurses, doctors, and hospital chaplains, we will likewise always remember the kindness and compassion shown to all of us by all of you. Thank you again, and may God bless you all. JOE BILLINGS High Point

Tom Kak, volunteer instructor for adult literacy program, looks over program with Kyri Murdough, High Point program coordinator for Reading Connections.

Making connections Adult literacy program desperately needs volunteers BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

he only thing standing between dozens of illiterate High Point adults and literacy is a reading tutor. Or, more specifically, the lack thereof. “We try to get as many students as we can into some sort of class, but without fail, there’s always a long list of people who

INTERESTED?

Reading Connections, the largest provider of individualized adult literacy services in Guilford County, has a critical need for volunteers to tutor adult students, lead small groups and/or teach classes. Volunteers are asked to meet with students at least once a week, for a minimum of two hours. for a tutor here in High Point.” The need may become even more critical now, as Reading Connections officials have announced new credentialing guidelines that will require potential tutors to undergo a more stringent training process. The credentialing process goes into effect this month. “We want to provide the students we serve with the best possible instruction in order for them to make as much progress as they can to improve their quality of life,” says Rhiannon Kelly, volunteer services coordinator for Reading Services. “This credentialing process is going to allow us to give our tutors a set of standards to work from that will

All training and materials will be provided. To sign up or for more information, contact Rhiannon Kelly, volunteer services coordinator, at (336) 230-2223, or Kyri Murdough, High Point program coordinator, at 883-3664. You can also obtain more information by visiting www.reading connections.org. help them tutor the students.” According to Murdough, Reading Connections – which is based in Greensboro but has a satellite office in High Point – has about 50 one-to-one reading tutors in High Point. “Our biggest focus is classes, so we have a lot more students in classes than students meeting with a tutor,” she says. Still, the need for more one-toone tutors and teachers continues to be a problem, and it’s a countywide problem. According to Reading Connections, one in five adults in Guilford County is functionally illiterate, and another 25 percent cannot read at a high-school level. The number of students served by the organi-

zation has grown from about 200 most years to more than 800 this past year – likely a reflection of the sour economy. “We hear this phrase over and over again – ‘I got pushed through the system,’” Murdough says. “Many of our students had that experience in school. Also, this being a furniture town, many of our students stopped going to school to go to work at a furniture factory. They had nice, long careers there, but now they’ve recently been laid off and the standards for jobs are much higher, so they’re trying to better themselves. That’s an issue a lot of our students deal with.” In High Point, Reading Connections has partnered with the High Point Public Library, which currently provides temporary office space for the agency. This fall, courtesy of a grant from the Hayden-Harman Foundation and other community supporters, the agency will move into a permanent space at the library. “We’re excited to be entering into a longterm partnership with the library,” Murdough says. “That’s a good thing for Reading Connections.” jtomlin@hpe.com | 888-3579

Davidson hospice plans annual gala LEXINGTON – Hospice of Davidson County will hold its annual “Friends of Hospice” Gala on Aug. 27 at Childress Vineyards.

The former Duke Writers’ Workshop, being re-christened as the Table Rock Writers Workshop, will be held Sept. 20-24 at the Wildacres Retreat conference center in Little Switzerland. The workshop will be held concurrently with Solatido, an annual workshop for singers and songwriters, which will be led by Mike Craver, one of the original members of the legendary North Carolina string band, the Red Clay Ramblers. Table Rock will bring a maximum of 50 writers – on a first-come, firstserved application process – to the weeklong session, and Solatido songwriters will share the week. All of the writers will gather at the retreat site, adjacent to the Blue Ridge Parkway, for individual and group sessions led by the experienced, professional faculty. “Writers find these workshops a unique opportunity to start something new or fine-tune works in progress,” said workshop director Georgann Eubanks. “Some simply come to recharge their creative batteries in this breathtaking setting. But our hallmark will always be the open, supportive environment to pursue excellence within a community of peers steeped in writing – poetry, song, fiction, memoir, a full landscape of creation.” Some slots still remain for these workshops. For more information on Table Rock, call Eubanks at (919) 454-7429 or visit www. tablerockwriters. com. For more information on Solatido, call (919) 923-8857 or visit www.solatidoworkshop.net.

You are sitting in a better position than you realize, so share your opinions. Love is on the rise, so plan a fun-filled evening. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Before stepping into a position that may damage a relationship that you care about, get the approval you need to move forward without worry. Discussing your plans will help you avoid balancing too many responsibilities. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): It’s up to you to run the show. Love is in a high cycle and making a vow to take care of personal responsibilities will give you the leeway you need to bring about a positive financial change. ★★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Take on whatever responsibilities are required of you and do your best.

Change is apparent and dealing with new organizations or getting involved with a group geared to promotion and networking will help you present what you have to offer. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You can offer suggestions but don’t take on someone else’s burdens. Focus on what needs to be done at home in order to add to your assets and bring about favorable alterations to your personal life. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Changes at home will help your financial situation, allowing you the freedom to get more for your money. Don’t let what others do influence you or your decisions. Uncertainty must not cause you to drop your personal responsibilities. ★★★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Make sure you do everything in your power to make your point clear. Do not give in to someone who speaks louder or uses manipulative means. Taking responsibility and avoiding temptation will set you apart from the crowd. ★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Take a closer look at something you have worked on in the past and you will find a new way to present it. Partnering with someone with talent will help you attract groups, organizations or individuals to fill in any part of your plan that is lacking. ★★★★

BRIDGE

When I’m asked which “rule” of play is the silliest, I cite “eight ever, nine never”: In a suit missing the queen, always finesse with eight cards; with nine, take the A-K. “Eight ever, nine never” has a tenuous mathematical basis, and no rule can replace good technique. Today’s declarer took the ace of diamonds, led a club to his king, returned a trump to dummy’s ace and threw his diamond loser on a high club. He next led a spade, and East won with the king and led a trump. Should South play his king (”nine never”)?

HOROSCOPE

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S 4 2 H A J 4 D A 5 4 2 C A Q 5 2. North in today’s deal opened one club with this hand. Do you agree, or would you prefer a different action? ANSWER: Players whose range for a 1NT opening is 15 to 17 points might choose that call. Players who would open in one of the minors would be divided between them. My preference is to start with one club with 2-3-4-4 or 3-2-4-4 pattern unless the diamonds are strikingly strong. North dealer Both sides vulnerable

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

Games set for HPU ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

HIGH POINT – Opponents from the Atlantic Coast, Southeastern and Southern conferences, plus the Colonial Athletic Association, await the High Point University men’s basketball team this season. The 2010-11 schedule, released Monday, includes the full slate of games against Big South Conference foes and three squads – Wake Forest, Old Dominion and Wofford – which played in the NCAA Tournament last season. “I think we’ve done a good job this year upgrading the schedule and making it extremely competitive,” said HPU coach Scott Cherry. “Our nonconference opponents include three NCAA Tournament teams and we’re playing an SEC team, an ACC team, two from the Southern Conference and one from the CAA. “We have a young team this year and I want to prepare them for the Big South Conference race,” Cherry added. HPU returns nine players from last season and has added seven newcomers. The team posted a six-win improvement in Cherry’s first season in 2009-10, going 15-15 overall and 10-8 in the Big South. Fans will get their first glimpse of the new-look Panthers on Nov. 6, when High Point plays host to Bridgewater College for an exhibition game at the Millis Center. The regular season opens Nov. 13 against Ferrum College before the Panthers travel to Norfolk, Va., on Nov. 15 to meet Old Dominion.

Other nonconference road games include The Citadel on Nov. 23, Tennessee Tech on Dec. 8, Wofford on Dec. 18, the University of Georgia on Dec. 21, and Wake Forest on Jan. 5. Several of those teams will travel to the Millis Center during the 2011-12 season, including Wake on Dec. 7, 2011. High Point’s Big South schedule begins with a pair of games at the Millis Center against Gardner-Webb and UNC Asheville the first weekend of December. The league schedule includes a New Year’s Eve contest at Charleston Southern and a Jan. 2 game at Coastal Carolina as part of a seven-game road stretch. The Panthers play seven of nine games at the Millis Center starting with Liberty and VMI on Jan. 13 and 15, respectively. High Point also welcomes nonconference foes Gwynedd-Mercy (Nov. 19), Hampton (Nov. 28) and N.C. Central (Feb. 7) to the Millis Center. Gwynedd-Mercy, a Catholic school in Pennsylvania, is a highly successful Division III squad. Ferrum, of the D-III USA South Conference, is the only other non-Division I college on this year’s schedule. NCCU, in the fourth year of its five-year transition from Division II to D-I, played mostly Division I teams last season, a schedule that included two losses to High Point. The Panthers also will host an ESPNU BracketBusters game on Feb. 19 or 20, with the Big South Tournament set for March 1-5 at the higher seeds.

DON DAVIS JR. | HPE FILE

In this photo from earlier in the season, the HiToms’ Alex Yarbrough crosses the plate after hitting a home run against Asheboro. Monday night, Thomasville concluded the 2010 Coastal Plain League season with a loss to Gastonia.

HiToms falter in finale BY JASON QUEEN SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

Inside...

THOMASVILLE – Gastonia turned a first-inning brain freeze into three quick runs. That was more than enough to put the HiToms’ season on ice. Austin Potter’s three-run double in the top of the first staked the visitors to a comfortable lead, and the HiToms never seriously threatened in a seasonending 7-3 Coastal Plain League loss at Finch Field. The Tommies finished a disappointing 17-37 for the summer and 7-19 in the second half, 10 games behind West Division champion Gastonia. And this one might have been different if not for a major mental breakdown. With two on and two outs in the top of the first, HiToms starter J.J. Jankowski fielded Byron McKoy’s comebacker cleanly in front of the mound. But instead of flipping to first and getting out of the inning, Jankowski sauntered toward first to do it all by himself. But McKoy was hustling out of the batter’s box and beat Jankowski by a step, loading the bases. Potter made it hurt, ripping a shot to the corner in left field that cleared the bases and set the tone for the evening. “We were loose and felt confident going in,” HiToms coach Tom Dorzweiler said. “They had lost four straight… I felt good with J.J. on the mound. “But Gastonia’s the kind of team that if you make a mistake they will capitalize on it. They did, and that’s what cost us the ballgame.” The Grizzlies added some insurance in the third. Cass Via was hit by a pitch,

----

Final Coastal Plain League standings and Petitt Cup matchups. 2D and Seth Boyd singled through the hole on a perfect hit-and-run to move Via to third. David Chester plated Via with a sacrifice fly and McKoy’s base hit up the middle scored Boyd. The HiToms got on the board on Alex Yarbrough’s solo home run in the fourth. The Tommies then made things interesting with a pair of runs in the sixth when Tanner Mathis scored on a double steal and Cass Hargis’ infield single brought Dave Roney home. But the Grizzlies got the runs back in the top of the seventh, taking advantage of an error and Boyd’s RBI groundout. Gastonia’s bullpen took care of the rest, not allowing a HiToms baserunner past first in the final three frames. For the first time in the past eight years, Thomasville’s season ends without a trip to the playoffs. The CPL’s Petitt Cup Tournament begins Wednesday with four three-game series. Those winners compete in three-game semifinal series next week, with the threegame championship round slated for Aug. 12-14. The HiToms became the first team in CPL history to win three straight league championships with a trifecta from 2006-08. Last year’s squad rebounded from a slow start to reach the postseason, but this year’s team never managed to bounce back in the same way.

WHO’S NEWS

HIT AND RUN ’ll admit it. I’m a big history buff and I love sports trivia. I almost always glance at those “this day in sports history” lists on the web. It’s a slow day in sports, so I thought I’d share a few of the things that happened on this date in sports history. Did you know that: On August 3, 1923, big-league baseball games were cancelled following the death of President Harding. On August 3, 1930, Chuck Klein of the

BASEBALL ATLANTA N.Y. METS

Phillies hit in his 26th straight game. Klein posted a pair of 26-game hitting streaks that season. On August 3, 1941, Browns pitcher Johnny Niggling retired Joe DiMaggio in four at-bats to stop “The Yankee Clipper’s” streak of 74 consecutive games reaching base. On August 3, 1949, the Basketball Association of America and the National Basketball League merged to form the National Basketball Association. There’s no truth to the rumor ESPN radio held a one-hour

special to announce that decision. On August 3, 1982, Clyde King replaced Gene Michaels as New York Yankees manager. Imagine that, Steinbrenner made a managerial change. And on August 3, 1987, the Chicago Bears beat the Dallas Cowboys 17-6 in an NFL exhibition game in London, England. Some interesting August 3 sports tidbits. Have a great day, everybody!

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

– MARK MCKINNEY ENTERPRISE SPORTS EDITOR

Buck Showalter is pledging to restore the luster to the Baltimore Orioles, a legacy franchise that has fallen on hard times. “All competitive people like the idea sometimes that people say it can’t be done. ... I love the town, the tradition, the people, the feeling,” said the 54-year-old Showalter, introduced Monday as the Orioles’ new manager. “It’s a challenge, it’s our challenge.” Showalter built contenders with the New York Yankees, Diamondbacks and Texas Rangers, but the 32-73 Orioles – the majors’ worst team – will be a test for his renowned preparation, attention to detail and ability to work with young players. “We have currently, in our franchise, a young core of players that are struggling, taking a step backwards. They haven’t been exposed to a winning-type environment,” Orioles president of baseball operations Andy MacPhail said. “We ... have been trying to find somebody who has had some experience in creating that winning environment.” Showalter’s first game will be tonight at Camden Yards against the Angels. He succeeds interim manager Juan Samuel, who was 17-34 after Dave Trembley was fired June 4.

Castroneves fined over IndyCar outburst INDIANAPOLIS (AP) – IndyCar officials fined star Helio Castroneves $60,000 and placed him on probation for the remainder of the year following his actions at the July 25 race in Edmonton. The penalty was handed down following a meeting between Castroneves and series officials on Monday, more than a week after the three-time Indy 500 champion was black-flagged for blocking Penske Racing teammate Will Power on the final restart.

The Brazilian crossed the finish line first, but the victory was awarded to Scott Dixon and Castroneves was placed 10th. He lost his temper afterward, touching one series official on the chest and grabbing another by the collar, actions for which he later apologized. IndyCar officials penalized Castroneves for failing to follow the direction of officials and unsportsmanlike conduct. “I let my emotions get the better of me,” Castroneves said in a statement.

IndyCar president of competition Brian Barnhart cautioned drivers before the race to be aware of their lines and not to take any extraordinary steps to prevent a competitor from making a pass. Castroneves had the lead on a restart with three laps to go when Power swung well wide around a turn hoping to beat his teammate to the corner. Castroneves edged out in an effort to cut Power off, a move Barnhart determined to be illegal.

JACK ROUSH UPGRADED TO FAIR CONDITION

---

CONCORD (AP) – NASCAR team owner Jack Roush’s condition has been upgraded to fair as he recovers from last week’s plane crash in Wisconsin. The 68-year-old Roush is at the Mayo Clinic. His team said Monday he will remain at the Minnesota clinic indefinitely to treat facial injuries. Roush was attending the Experimental Aircraft Association’s annual AirVenture in Oshkosh, Wis. The aviation buff also survived a crash in 2002. The longtime owner has been a fixture in NASCAR garages for decades. He received a boost Sunday when Roush-Fenway driver Greg Biffle won the Cup race at Pocono. Before taking the checkered flag, Biffle said, “This one’s for Jack.”

Ryder Cup players get PGA exemption SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (AP) – Ben Curtis and Boo Weekley are going to the PGA Championship at Whistling Straits despite falling from the top 100 in the world ranking. The PGA of America changed its criteria last year to require that members of the most recent Ryder Cup team stay within the top 100. Officials offered special invitations to Curtis, Weekley and others to fill its 156-man field. The PGA Championship gave exemptions to everyone in the top 100 in Monday’s ranking who were not already eligible. It also invited three players outside the top 100 – Gon-

zalo Fernandez-Castano of Spain, Simon Khan of England and Seung-Yul Noh of South Korea. U.S. Ryder Cup player Justin Leonard fell to No. 101 but earned his spot through a PGA points list, which is money earned on the PGA Tour since the PGA Championship last year. The PGA Championship is Aug. 12-15. The final major of the year reserved two spots in case the winners of this week’s Bridgestone Invitational and the Turning Stone Resort Championship are not already eligible. The first two alternates are D.J. Trahan and Matt Jones.

2011 PGA Championship lights up Carolina skies CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) – The sides of four buildings in the Carolinas were lit up to promote the 2011 PGA Championship at Kiawah Island. Images which include a golf ball appearing to smash through each structure were projected on the sides of buildings in Charleston, Columbia, Greenville and Charlotte on Monday evening. From 8 p.m. to 11 p.m.

the images were displayed on the Francis Marion Hotel in Charleston; the Adluh Flour Building in Columbia; the Westin Poinsett Hotel in Greenville; as well as the Mint Museum of Craft and Design in Charlotte. Next year’s 94th PGA Championship is the first major golf championship to be played in South Carolina.

Deutsche Bank waiting on Boston tourney deal NORTON, Mass. (AP) – The Deutsche Bank Championship is in the final year of its title sponsorship agreement, and so far the Labor Day weekend tournament has been unable to secure a new deal that would guarantee its place on the PGA Tour schedule for 2011. “I would have thought we would have an answer for you by now,” Seth Waugh, the CEO of Deutsche Bank Americas, said at the tournament’s media day Monday. “We know what we want to do. We’re waiting for some answers.” Deutsche Bank has sponsored the event since its inception in 2003, originally with a fouryear commitment that was renewed for another four years. The bank has an option to extend the deal another two years, through 2012, and Waugh was optimistic that would happen. “I like our chances to stay involved,” he said. “I hope we’ll be able to talk at Labor Day about keep-

ing the tour in New England for years to come.” Waugh would not elaborate on what might be holding up the deal. Deutsche Bank reported strong earnings last week, but the sluggish economy has forced companies with all kinds of sponsorships to re-examine their arrangements. Waugh said the bank is pleased with the way the sponsorship deal has increased its profile in New England. Waugh also said the bank was standing by the Tiger Woods Foundation in spite of Woods’ troubles since revelations that he was having serial extramarital affairs. Waugh noted that Deutsche Bank is not a sponsor of Woods; it’s a partner in a tournament that benefits his charity. A bigger problem would be Woods’ absence from the tournament. Woods was 111th on the FedEx Cup points list and would need to move up to make it into the 100-person field at the TPC of Boston.

Atlanta’s Troy Glaus avoids an inside pitch from New York Mets starter Johan Santana during the first inning of Monday’s game at Turner Field in Atlanta. Glaus and the Braves cruised to a key win in the NL East.

Hudson, Braves stop slide THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ATLANTA – Tim Hudson pitched six solid innings and Rich Ankiel drove in two runs with his first hit as a Brave, a two-out, tworun single in a three-run first inning that helped Atlanta to a 4-1 victory over the New York Mets on Monday night. Chipper Jones added a solo home run in the seventh – his eighth – as the Braves, who had lost five of seven and two straight, increased their NL East lead to three games over the idle Philadelphia Phillies. It was the start of a seven-game homestand for the Braves who will play 13 of their next 16 games at home where they own the best record in the majors at 35-13. The Mets lost their second straight and 10th in 14, and have won only six of their last 23 games. Hudson (12-5) allowed six hits, one run, walked three and struck out three. It was his third straight win. The right-hander has allowed two earned runs in his last 202⁄3 innings and lowered his ERA to 2.36. The Mets’ run came in the fifth inning on a run-scoring double by Carlos Beltran, scoring Jose Reyes, who had singled. Johan Santana (8-6), who was coming off one of his worst starts when he gave up a career-high 13 hits and seven earned runs in 52⁄3 innings in an 8-7 loss to St. Louis last Thursday, settled down after the first. The left-hander gave up nine hits, four runs, walked two and had a season-high 11 strikeouts in seven innings. Ankiel’s big hit – a line drive single to center with the bases

loaded – scored Matt Diaz, who had a run-scoring double, and Alex Gonzalez, who reached on a fielder’s choice. Ankiel was acquired Saturday in a five-player deal with Kansas City and went 0 for 3 in his Atlanta debut on Sunday, a 2-1 loss at Cincinnati. He added a double in the sixth on Monday and finished 2 for 4. Billy Wagner pitched a scoreless ninth for the Braves to earn his 25th save in 30 opportunities. Jones’ home run was No. 434, tying him with Juan Gonzalez for 37th on the career list.

JAYS TIE AL RECORD FOR DOUBLES NEW YORK – The Toronto Blue Jays have matched an American League record by hitting six doubles in an inning against the New York Yankees. Travis Snider led off the sevenrun fifth inning Monday night with a two-base hit to right-center against A.J. Burnett. Snider also had the sixth with a run-scoring double to left-center off Sergio Mitre to give the Blue Jays an 8-2 lead. In between, Fred Lewis, Jose Bautista, Vernon Wells and Aaron Hill all doubled off Burnett. The Boston Braves of the National League hold the major league record with seven in the first inning on Aug. 25, 1936, against the St. Louis Cardinals. In the AL, the Washington Senators had six against the Boston Red Sox in the eighth inning on June 9, 1934, and the Texas Rangers matched them on July 31, 2002, against the Yankees.

HOWARD HAVING ANKLE CHECKED PHILADELPHIA – Ryan How-

ard has left the Phillies in Florida to have his injured ankle examined in Philadelphia. The All-Star first baseman will see the team physician on Tuesday. The second-place Phillies are in Florida for a three-game series with the Marlins. Howard hurt his left ankle scrambling back to second base during Sunday’s game at Washington. He left the ballpark on crutches, but was optimistic that he wouldn’t go on the disabled list. Howard, the 2006 NL MVP, is hitting .292 with 23 home runs and 81 RBIs. The Phillies already are missing All-Star second baseman Chase Utley and center fielder Shane Victorino because of injuries.

IMMIGRATION SIGN HALTS GAME PHOENIX – The Nationals and Diamondbacks were delayed briefly Monday night when a fan draped a sign over the left-field wall protesting Arizona’s immigration law. Plate umpire Angel Hernandez halted the game in the first inning when he saw the large sign addressed to Diamondbacks owner Ken Hendrick. The sign read: “Mr. Kendrick ... Don’t feed hate. Say no to SB1070.” Nationals left fielder Josh Willingham said something to the fans behind the sign, which was pulled down by a security guard after a delay of about a minute. The immigration law was partially blocked by a judge last week, but it hasn’t stopped protests around Phoenix. Numerous groups have asked baseball to move next year’s All-Star game from Arizona because of the law.

Deals being offered for Armstrong evidence AUSTIN, Texas (AP) – Lance Armstrong’s attorneys say the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency is offering cyclists a “sweetheart deal” if they testify or provide evidence that the seven-time Tour de France winner cheated by doping. If those riders have been caught doping, the deal from USADA could result in a reduced ban from

competition and other incentives, attorney Tim Herman told The Associated Press on Monday. Federal investigators in Los Angeles are looking at cheating in professional cycling and have shown interest in Armstrong since former teammate and 2006 Tour de France winner Floyd Landis alleged this spring that Armstrong

and others took performance-enhancing drugs, which Armstrong strongly denies. USADA spokeswoman Erin Hannan said the agency could not comment in detail about an investigation. “Our effort in any investigation is a search for the truth, nothing more and nothing less,” Hannan said.

Transition tough for App State star

Former Carolina Panthers running back Stephen Davis (center) talks with Jonathan Stewart (28) and DeAngelo Williams during a break in practice at the team’s training camp in Spartanburg, S.C., on Monday.

Big impact for smaller Panther? THE PANTHERS NOTEBOOK: SPARTANBURG, S.C. (AP) – A smaller version of Charles Johnson is determined to play a big role for the Carolina Panthers this season. After losing 20 pounds to get down to 279, Johnson has taken over the spot at defensive end vacated when five-time Pro Bowl selection Julius Peppers signed with Chicago. “It’s a big opportunity,” Johnson said Monday. “I feel like it’s a good opportunity for me to get out there and get my name out there.” The former third-round pick from Georgia has started just four games in three seasons with Carolina. He bulked up to 290 pounds last year in part because he was used some as an inside rusher on passing downs. He got even bigger after an offseason excursion to Hawaii to work in a former teammate’s football camp. “After eating with Kemo in Hawaii,” Johnson joked, referring Maake Kemoeatu, the mammoth defensive tackle and Hawaii native now with Washington. “I started gaining a lot of weight and I felt uncomfortable the way I was so I had to get down. Plus, knowing that I had a good opportunity to start I wanted to have myself in shape for camp.” Johnson got off to a bad start, straining a hamstring in the first workout Thursday. He returned to practice on Sunday as the leaner, quicker player that defensive coordinator Ron Meeks prefers. Johnson is part of a revamped first-team line that currently includes Tyler Brayton, Ed Johnson and Tank Tyler. “We don’t have big guys like Julius anymore,” Johnson said, “but we’re going to be very quick off the ball.”

BUCKEYES TABBED FIRST

---

CHICAGO (AP) – Ohio State is the media’s pick to win the Big Ten and Buckeyes quarterback Terrelle Pryor is the offensive player of the year for the second straight season. Michigan State linebacker Greg Jones was tabbed the top defensive player again, making it the first time in 12 years that both preseason player of the year picks were repeat selections. Iowa was picked to finish second and Wisconsin third. Only the top three teams of the preseason media poll are announced. Ohio State (11-2 overall, 7-2 last season) is coming off a Rose Bowl victory over Oregon and has won at least a share of five straight Big Ten titles.

juries, the Panthers were poised Monday to make a roster move to add depth with only DeAngelo Williams and Josh Vaughan healthy. “We’ll make some kind of adjustment that we’ll keep you on top of,” coach John Fox said. Jonathan Stewart hasn’t been cleared to practice following offseason surgery on his left Achilles tendon and heel. Mike Goodson went down on Sunday with a left ankle injury. Tyrell Sutton has been out with a calf injury. Out of options in Monday morning’s workout, fullback Tony Fiammetta lined up at tailback and had a few carries. “It was good,” Fiammetta said. “In high school I was the running back, so it felt to get out there and make some cuts and make some people miss.”

ROBINSON’S BACK Duke Robinson finally got fit enough to practice. Banished to the physically unable to perform list since the first day of camp because of weight and conditioning issues, the guard participated in his first practice on Monday morning. “He’s got some catching up to do,” Fox said. Robinson is listed at 6-foot-5 and 330 pounds but appears much heavier. That weight may have ended his chances at winning the starting right guard spot vacated when Keydrick Vincent wasn’t resigned. Mackenzy Bernadeau has taken all the snaps at right guard with the first team since the opening practice. Robinson worked with the second team.

LOW NUMBERS The Panthers got three players back on Monday, but still had 11 sidelined with various ailments. Louis Leonard was activated from the physically unable to perform list because of a sore knee and worked with the second team at defensive tackle. The coaching staff decided not to break up the

PANTHERS SIGN SAVAGE

---

SPARTANBURG, S.C. (AP) – The Carolina Panthers have added depth to their banged-up backfield by signing running back Dantrell Savage. The Panthers waived injured cornerback Marcus Walker to make room on the 80-man roster. The undrafted Savage played mostly special teams in 13 games over two seasons with Kansas City, rushing just 25 times for 98 yards. He was released in March. The Panthers reached an injury settlement with Walker, who hurt his calf Saturday.

first-team tackles of Tank Tyler and Ed Johnson. Rookie receiver Brandon LaFell returned after missing Sunday’s workout with a bruised leg. Running back Mike Goodson (ankle) and defensive tackle Nick Hayden (oblique muscle) remained sidelined after being injured a day earlier. They were joined by cornerback Richard Marshall (back spasms), receiver Steve Smith (broken arm), running back Jonathan Stewart (heel), right tackle Jeff Otah (knee), linebacker Thomas Davis (knee), running back Tyrell Sutton (calf), receiver Charly Martin (broken finger), cornerback Marcus Walker (calf) and defensive end Eric Moore (hamstring). “The younger guys are getting more reps, there’s no question,” Fox said. “But you’ve got to be careful of getting them too many reps because then they start to wear down. It’s very common this time of year.”

EXTRA POINTS Former Panthers RB Stephen Davis is working with Carolina as a coaching intern. ... K John Kasay’s still got his leg strength three months shy of his 41st birthday. He was easily clearing the crossbar on 50-yard field-goal tries.

SPARTANBURG, S.C. (AP) – Training camp isn’t even a week old and Armanti Edwards is physically tired, mentally drained and a bit overwhelmed. Carolina coach John Fox has got on him about his conditioning. He’s still trying to remember all his receiver routes and where to Edwards line up. He’s looked awkward at times catching – and muffing – punts and kickoffs. Welcome to Edwards’ world, as he transitions from star college quarterback at Appalachian State to rookie NFL receiver and return man with the Panthers. “I expected it to be rough,” Edwards said Monday, “and yes, it’s what I thought it would be.” The Panthers have a lot riding on making this project work. Enthralled with the athletic and speedy yet undersized and slight college sensation, the Panthers traded next year’s second-round pick to New England for an extra third-round pick to take him 89th overall. General manager Marty Hurney immediately declared that Edwards – the only player in NCAA Division I history to throw for more than 10,000 yards and rush for more than 4,000 – wouldn’t be a quarterback. Trouble is, the 5-foot11, 182-pound Edwards hadn’t played receiver since his junior year in high school. He never returned a punt or kickoff in his life. It’s showed. While Edwards has displayed soft hands, his route running needs work and he’s been with the third team at receiver. He’s also had trouble holding onto kickoffs and punts. So far Edwards’ experience at QB – engineering a monumental upset of Michigan and winning two Football Championship Subdivision national titles – isn’t helping much. “I thought it would, but not really,” he said. “When you’re learning a new position you’ve got a lot more things you’ve got to think about. There’s a lot of things going through your head.” Throw in heavy legs and it’s become even more difficult. “He’s got a lot more running (to do). I think he’s getting a little more used to that as we move forward,” Fox said. “He’s got good hands and he’s got

Wolfpack’s Wilson focused on football RALEIGH (AP) – North Carolina State quarterback Russell Wilson spent the summer learning how to hit with a wooden bat and studying his football playbook. After spending the spring with the Wolfpack baseball team and the summer as a professional in the Colorado Rockies organization, Wilson is back in Raleigh and preparing to step back under center for N.C. State when preseason camp opens today. In his first season as a professional baseball player, Wilson hit leadoff and played second base for 32 games with the Northwest League’s Tri-City Dust Devils in Pasco, Wash. He spent long bus rides – seven hours from Pasco to Boise, Idaho, on one memorable road trip – texting N.C. State coach Tom O’Brien and other Wolfpack teammates, or

sharpening his Spanish skills by chatting up his Hispanic teammates. Wilson, who hit .230 with 11 runs batted in and two home runs, said his highlight was hitting homers on back-toback nights out of Tri-City’s huge field he called “a graveyard.” A fan retrieved the first home run ball and gave it back to him. The Colorado Rockies – who picked Wilson in the fourth round of the June draft – told Wilson they thought he had “a lot of potential to be in the big leagues pretty soon, in terms of my physical ability and mental approach to the game,” Wilson said. Still, Wilson worked on football. He lifted weights three times per week and spent 15 minutes each day studying his playbook. He also threw a football around with teammates

who called him “Willie.” He capped the summer Sunday night by proposing to his high school sweetheart, Ashton Meem, who accepted. Wilson wouldn’t elaborate on what he has arranged with the Rockies about playing football, a sport that saw him become a freshman all-Atlantic Coast Conference passer two seasons ago. “Everything is open,” he said. “I’m not worried about that right now.” Wilson missed all of spring drills to play with N.C. State’s baseball program, leaving talented reserve Mike Glennon to get all the snaps. O’Brien has said that he wants to see Glennon push to win Wilson’s starting job away from him. “The stakes aren’t any higher than any other day,” Wilson offered. “Every day you wake up, you have competition.”

ability after the catch. I think really if you ask him there’s a lot more running than at quarterback.” Translation: Edwards, who had no trouble outrunning people in college, needs to get fitter. “You’ve got to be fast through your routes, then when you catch the ball you’ve got to run after the routes,” Edwards said. “You’ve got to run and chase to get a block. There’s a lot more running. It surprised me how tired I was at first. I thought I was in shape until I got out here for the first practice.” The Panthers aren’t panicking and expected his development to take time. He could even be on the inactive list for games if he doesn’t win the return job and remains buried on the depth chart at receiver behind Steve Smith, Kenny Moore, Dwayne Jarrett and Brandon LaFell. It hasn’t stopped Edwards from being one of the most watched players at camp. He grew up 45 minutes from Wofford College in Greenwood, S.C., and Appalachian State is a couple hours away. Everybody wants to see the first player to win the Walter Payton Award twice as the top player in college football’s lower tier play receiver. Many wonder if the Panthers will try to use Edwards in the wildcat formation. Not yet. He has enough to worry about already “That’s up to the coaches,” Edwards said. “Right now everybody wants me to get comfortable at receiver, so I’m trying to focus on receiver right now.” Edwards, who didn’t return punts until right before his college pro day this spring, blames some of his bobbles and drops to losing concentration because he’s tired. The Panthers run special teams drills at the end of their practices. “It’s kind of like outfield in baseball, but I’ve never played that either,” Edwards said. “So I had a hard time adjusting to the ball when it’s in the air. It just took repetitions.” While Edwards acknowledged he’s far from comfortable in his new spots, he insists he hasn’t lost confidence. He’s determined to join the likes of Josh Cribbs and Antwaan Randle-El as former college QBs who have excelled as receivers and return men in the NFL. “I still have to tell myself I’m new to this,” Edwards said. “Everybody around me knows that I changed my position, so I have to stay focused.”

SUPER CONTINGENCY PLANNED

---

ANDERSON, Ind. (AP) – NFL officials and the Indianapolis Super Bowl Host Committee have a contingency plan if a work stoppage postpones the 2012 Super Bowl. The league wants Indy’s Super Bowl venues and hotel room blocks left open for the weekend of Feb. 5, the scheduled Super Bowl date, and the following weekend. The NFL Players Association fears team owners will lock out players before next season. The current contract expires March 5, and NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith has said he does not expect a new collective bargaining agreement to be completed until then. Smith has repeatedly said he believes owners, who opted out of the CBA two years ago, are intent on locking out players because the TV networks will continue to pay the owners even if the games are not played.

Bernanke sees long road ahead WASHINGTON (AP) – The nation faces a long road to get back to good economic health, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said Monday. Bernanke said progress is being made after the deepest recession since the 1930s. The worst of the financial crisis is behind the nation and the economy is growing again, he pointed out. “But we have a considerable way to go to achieve a full recovery in our economy, and many Americans are still grappling with unemployment, foreclosure and lost savings,” the Fed chief said in a speech to an annual meeting of Southern lawmakers in Charleston, S.C.

Humana net income rises 21 percent LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Humana Inc. reported a 21 percent upswing in second-quarter profit Monday as the health insurer’s latest strong performance in its vast government segment, led by its growing Medicare Advantage business, was backed by a big improvement in its commercial sector. Based on solid firsthalf results, the Louisville-based company raised its net incomeper-share expectations for the full year to a range of $5.65 to $5.75, compared to a prior range of $5.55 to $5.65.

Chase adding banks in metro Atlanta ATLANTA – JPMorgan Chase & Co. says it plans to open 10 new bank branches across the northern metro Atlanta area by the end of the year, with eight now under construction.

DILBERT

It marks Bernanke’s first public comments since the government report reBernanke leased Friday showed the recovery lost a lot of momentum in the spring. The economy grew at a pace of just 2.4 percent in the April-to-June quarter, down from 3.7 percent growth at the start of the year. It was the slowest showing in nearly a year and is too weak to drive down near double-digit unemployment. The bulk of Bernanke’s speech was about challenges facing cash-hungry state and local governments.

Facing budget shortfalls, state and local governments have been cutting their spending and laying off workers to save money. Bernanke cited those spending reductions as one of factors behind the “sluggishness of the national recovery.” Economists in an AP Economy Survey, released last week, identified budget woes at state and local governments as a “significant” or “severe” threat to the economic recovery. State and local governments cut their spending in the first three months of this year at a 3.8 percent pace. That was the biggest cutback since the second quarter of 1981, just before the economy entered a severe recession.

Businesses hire 5.6 million workers

WASHINGTON (AP) – Businesses have hired 5.6 million workers under a new program that provides tax breaks for hiring unemployed workers, the Treasury Department said Monday. The report, however, does not estimate how many of those jobs would have been added without the tax break. President Barack Obama signed a law in March that exempts businesses hiring people who have been unemployed for at least 60 days from paying the 6.2 percent Social Security payroll tax through December. Employers get an additional $1,000 credit if new workers stay on the job a full year. Treasury released a report Monday estimating that from February through June, businesses

hired 5.6 million workers who qualify for the tax breaks. That’s up from the 4.5 million workers who were hired under the program through May. Those businesses are projected to save $10.4 billion in taxes, if they keep three-fourths of the new workers for at least a year, the Treasury report said. Many businesses also cut jobs during the period, though there was a net increase of about 868,000 jobs from February through June, according to the government’s business payroll survey. The economy shed 125,000 jobs in June, according to the survey. At the start of the year, congressional Democrats said the new law would be the first of many initiatives designed to create jobs.

Manufacturing grows for 12th straight month NEW YORK (AP) – The manufacturing sector grew in July for the 12th straight month, providing a boost to the slowing economic recovery. The Institute for Supply Management said Monday that its manufacturing index slipped to 55.5 in July from 56.2 in June. That marked the third straight month of declines. Still, a reading above 50 indicates growth and the index has been above that level for the past year. In a separate report, the

Commerce Department said construction spending edged up 0.1 percent in June. But all the strength came from government building. Private sector activity in both housing and nonresidential projects fell. The government reported last week that total economic growth slowed to a rate of 2.4 percent in the April-toJune quarter, down from a 3.7 percent growth rate in the first three months of the year and a 5 percent growth spurt in the fourth quarter of 2009.

Stocks get a big start for August NEW YORK (AP) – The stock market began August with a huge rally after reports from around the world revived investors’ faith in the global recovery. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 208 points Monday. All the major stock indexes rose about 2 percent. The first day of the month brought a stream of news that reassured investors who have worried about a slowing of economic growth in the U.S., China and Europe. Manufacturing was a common thread. Monday’s news was encouraging after months of reports that showed the recovery was weakening. Those reports pulled the major stock indexes off their 2010 highs in late April and contributed to sharp swings in stock prices since then. The big advance was a bit of a surprise for traders. Some analysts were cautious even as stock prices jumped. Alan Gayle, senior investment strategist for RidgeWorth Investments in Richmond, Va., said Monday’s news, while good, showed only small changes in the economy. “Fundamentally, I do believe the pace of the (economic) expansion is slowing, and I think that’s going to weigh on the markets as we go through the second half of the year,” he said. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 208.44.

Lohan leaves jail for rehab LOS ANGELES (AP) – Lindsay Lohan has been released from jail, but she’s not exactly a free woman. The actress was discharged at 1:35 a.m. Monday after serving 14 days of a 90-day sentence for violating her probation in a 2007 drug case, a sheriff’s spokesman said. She is now required to begin a three-month stint in rehab. A prosecutor has said that Lohan cannot be released early and will have to spend the entire time in treatment, reportedly at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center. The facility and government officials declined to say whether Lohan is a pa-

tient there, but paparazzi followed a van that received a police escort to the center after Lohan’s release from jail. Lohan’s abbreviated jail stay was not unexpected, although it was Lohan considerably longer than the 84 minutes she spent at the same facility in 2007. Inmates such as Lohan, 24, who are serving time for nonviolent offenses, typically have their stays reduced due to overcrowding and credits for good behavior.

Charlie Sheen to plead guilty in assault case FILE | AP

UAE: BlackBerry ban will affect visitors DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) – The United Arab Emirates’ looming crackdown on BlackBerry services will extend to foreign visitors using roaming, putting the government’s concerns over the smart phones in direct conflict its ambitions to be a business and tourism haven. The Emirates’ telecoms regulator said Monday that travelers to the city-state of Dubai and the important oil industry center of Abu Dhabi will – like the 500,000 local subscribers – will have to do without BlackBerry e-mail, messaging

and Web services starting in October. Emirati authorities say the ban is based on security concerns because BlackBerry data is automatically shipped to company computers abroad, where it is stored and difficult for local authorities to monitor for illegal activity or abuse. Critics of the crackdown say it is also a way for the country’s conservative government to further control content they deem politically or morally objectionable. About 100,000 travelers pass through Dubai’s airport every day, making it

the busiest in the Middle East. The new restrictions could leave time-pressed business travelers hurrying through, many of them changing planes for other destinations, without access to their e-mail or the Web. “I think it’s a very big step back. All developed countries in the world have it. Why should we not?” said Emirati BlackBerry user Maisoon alIskandarani, 24, who works at an international bank in Dubai. “How are you going to stay in touch with your clients and colleagues?”

ASPEN, Colo. (AP) – Charlie Sheen is expected to plead guilty to a charge stemming from a Christmas Day dispute with his wife in Aspen, Colo. The “Two and a Half Men” actor was expected to appear in court Monday. Sheen attorney Yale Galanter has said that he agreed to plead guilty Sheen to misdemeanor assault in exchange for prosecutors dropping more serious charges. But a spokesman for the Colorado court system says no paperwork on a proposed deal had been filed as of an hour before the hearing. Galanter has said an agreement called for a 30-day jail sentence. Sheen is charged with felony menacing, criminal mischief and assault against his wife, Brooke.

Actress Pamela Anderson was on hand to walk and help send off about 50 dogs that are being moved from Louisiana to Virginia who’ve been orphaned by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.

Actress helps pets abandoned after oil spill NEW ORLEANS (AP) – Most of the roughly 50 abandoned dogs parading under the oaks at New Orleans City Park on Monday were bound for a pet adoption program in Virginia, but two were headed for California with their new owner, actress Pamela Anderson. “My son was hoping we could take all 50,” Anderson said before latching on to her two new charges – two

small brown dogs tentatively identified by shelter officials as Chihuahua mixes. Anderson named them in honor of fellow actresses Gina Lollobrigida and Brigitte Bardot. Anderson helped walk the dogs as part of a news conference calling attention to a program aimed at helping deal with an overflow of abandoned pets since the BP oil spill.
