HPU is not buyer of Oak Hollow Mall BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

SONNY HEDGECOCK | HPE

CBL & Associates Properties has entered into a contract to sell Oak Hollow Mall.

HIGH POINT – The company that founded Oak Hollow Mall isn’t indicating yet who is the buyer of the city’s largest shopping center, but one entity long-rumored interested in the mall – High Point University – says emphatically that it isn’t the buyer.

CBL & Associates Properties Inc. tied up one thread of speculation about the mall’s future Tuesday when the company indicated in a financial report that Oak Hollow is under contract for sale. The Chattanooga, Tenn.-based shopping center operator hasn’t released the name of the buyer,

Retailers ready for crowds during sales tax holiday HIGH POINT – Sticking it to the government can be especially appealing in a down economy. That’s the attitude local retailers say they expect shoppers to take as the state’s sales tax holiday begins this weekend. Sales tax, which is set at 7.75 percent in most parts of the state, will be suspended Aug. 6-8 on school-related items such as supplies and apparel. Supplies and clothing $100 or less per item, instructional materials less than $300, sporting equipment items less than $50, computers less than $3,500 and computer supplies less than $250 are included. Shopping for deals has become a part of peoples’ everyday lives since the recession began, and this weekend will be no different, said Robert Hayes, store manager at Kmart on S. Main Street in High Point. “I think sales this year will improve,” Hayes said. “I say that based on the economy, because I think people will want to take advantage of saving every penny they can.” The sales tax holiday begins Friday morning when stores open, but Saturday is usually the busiest day,

of the community. Jo Ellen Edwards, executive director of Uptown Lexington Inc., hopes for a huge turnout for the festivities. This year’s stroll marks the third year her organization has partnered with businesses on tax-free weekend. “It always amazes me that people who live in Davidson County, especially, the outlying parts of the county, may never have come to Lexington,” Edwards said. “Hopefully, they are discovering a new destination and new stores. There aren’t a lot of downtowns that are contained like ours, and have the architec-

ering from the recession. Toby Prince, owner of All About Education in Lexington, said the event has done just that for his store. The store has seen such an increase in sales during the tax-free weekend each year that it’s increased its hours to open 1 to 4 p.m. on Aug. 8 when its usually closed on Sundays. “We try to run a lot of promotions, so it ends up being a good day for shoppers because they save on the product and on the sales tax,” he said.

World Market Center attendance may beat expectations BY MARILYN NASON SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

LAS VEGAS – With a final attendance expected to total about 45,000 buyers when the five-day semi-annual World Market Center in Las Vegas closes Friday, it would appear this five-year-old, three-building campus has weathered the ongoing recession better than many had predicted. If that figure holds true, it will mean the Las Vegas Market was down about 10 percent from the 47,000 who attended in September 2009 at a time when most believe the overall home furnishings industry has been down between 30 to 40 percent in the same time period. Most buyers and exhibitors at the market this week agreed even as the economy begins to improve, if ever so slowly, that retailers and vendors are expected to continue to

study closely which trade show fits in geographically with their best potential for business. Whether High Point works best long term for those who find the East Coast more practical and convenient to meet their goals, others situated closer to the West Coast and Las Vegas may favor that show. In either case, it appears the two are here to stay – High Point at 101 years old and World Market Center at five as the prime nationally recognized sites for home furnishings and accessories. In talking with buyers, most agreed that site convenience, easyto-work exhibit space, diversity of merchandise and pricing are key factors as to which market they will attend in coming years. In a major presentation, Ashley Furniture Industries reported excellent response to its extensive commitment of exhibit space in

Building B with 40,479 square feet on the 14th floor and another 86,218 square feet on the 15th floor. For this week’s market, WMC reported 1,400 permanent and temporary exhibitors, down from 1,500 in February 2009. In addition to the new Gift+ Home and Vegas Kids, WMC has begun to more clearly differentiate and promote key segments of the overall consumer products industry with designated sections labeled as Design & Living, Alfresco Spaces, Context, Specialty Sleep Association area, Lodge; Living, Retailer Resource Center, and Home Furnishings Temporaries sections. These join the already-existing three-year-old Las Vegas Design Center, which caters year-round to designers and high-end buyers in a state-of-the-art format. editor@hpe.com | 888-3537

New bus system big hit for Las Vegas marketgoers BY MARILYN NASON SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

LAS VEGAS – The World Market Center literally has hit gold in the form of ACE Gold Line. Launched in May by the city of Las Vegas, marketgoers saw improved and expanded inexpensive public transportation with bus routes to and from McCarran International Airport and other stops at major hotels throughout the city. Of most importance to WMC is the fact that one stop is directly in front of

the WMC Campus front entrance on Grand Central Parkway. What provides even more attractive access to WMC is the fact that these sleek new, bright gold buses operate 24/7, with regulated schedules around the clock with a daily all-access pass of $7. It’s a far cry from the double-digit cab fares to WMC from all hotels. Each covered stop, at every quarter mile along the route, includes a convenient ticket vending machine so riders can get on at any stop to buy

North Carolina among states approved for housing aid WASHINGTON (AP) – The Obama administration plans to send $600 million to help unemployed homeowners avoid foreclosure in five states. The Treasury Department said Wednesday that mortgage-assistance proposals submitted by North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Rhode Island and South Carolina received approval. The states estimate their efforts could help up to 50,000 homeowners. The administration is directing $2.1 billion from its existing $75 billion mortgage assistance program to a total of 10 states. Each state designed its

own plan. Treasury approved money in June for Arizona, California, Florida, Michigan and Nevada. The Obama administration has rolled out numerous attempts to tackle the foreclosure crisis but has made only a small dent in the problem. More than 40 percent, or about 530,000 homeowners, have fallen out of the administration’s main effort to assist those facing foreclosure. That program provides lenders with incentives to reduce mortgage payments. So far, it has provided permanent help to about 390,000 homeown-

ing $43 million. “These states have designed targeted programs with the potential to make a real difference in the lives of homeowners struggling to make their mortgage payments because of unemployment,” Herbert Allison, an assistant treasury secretary, said in a statement. More aid to the unemployed is coming. The sweeping financial reform bill passed signed into law by President Barack Obama last month provides an additional $3 billion to help jobless homeowners pay their mortgages.

That could aid around 15,000 homeowners by helping borrowers pay their mortgage for up to a year while they search for jobs. It could also provide incentives for mortgage companies to reduce borrowers’ mortgage balances. North Carolina is receiving $159 million, and South Carolina is in line for $138 million.

However, CBL & Associates Vice President Katie Reinsmidt said Wednesday that the pending buyer of Oak Hollow would maintain it as a center with retail shopping.

mored in the community for three years as a potential buyer. The speculation dates from the time when the mall began to struggle with occupancy and lose tenants, many of which were tenants dating from Oak Hollow’s opening in 1995. The High Point Enterprise reported earlier this year, based on anonymous sources, that several bidders were interested in the mall. The CBL & Associates announcement Tuesday was the first time that the company confirmed that a sale is possible. Though CBL & Associates didn’t place a time frame on completing the deal, a sale of the magnitude and complexity of a mall, with dozens of tenant leases, probably would take at least four months to finalize.

When the Monorail was first launched several years ago, city fathers hoped it would prove a simple inexpensive way for tourists and workers to get to and from hotels on the strip, with seven stops along the way. But in recent years it has lost its luster and proved inconvenient to reach major hotels and trade show venues. The cost is $5 one way.

Montanta accuses NC company of running pyramid scheme HELENA, Mont. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Montana regulators have accused a North Carolina company of running a pyramid scheme involving phone and Internet services. Montana Commissioner of Securities and Insurance Monica Lindeen said Tuesday that ACN Inc. lured hundreds of Montanans to join by making deceptive claims that members could earn large sums of money by recruiting new members and selling services. ACNâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s services include a video phone and high speed internet that the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website

says are not available in Montana. Its website also lists satellite television and home security services. ACN was issued a cease and desist order, which also names ACN officers and founders Gregory Provenzano, Robert Stevanovski, Anthony Cupisz and Michael Cupisz. The state alleged ACN recruited about 400 Montana participants who paid a total of nearly $300,000 to be a part of the program and received a total of $1,600 in compensation for selling phone services in 2008 and 2009.

With Israel uneasy about the growing arsenal of Hezbollah, the real power in the Lebanese border area, and Lebanon influenced by the Iranianbacked group’s clout, the clash that left four dead showed how a small spark could ignite another war. On Wednesday all sides appeared to be trying to restore calm, but the key was clearly in the hands of Hezbollah. Had it entered the fray with a rocket attack on Israel’s north, Israel would likely have retaliated, and another round of Mideast violence would have been under way – following the pattern of the monthlong conflict in 2006, when Hezbollah fired almost 4,000 rockets as Israel’s military bombed strategic targets all over Lebanon and swept through the border area. The clash started after an Israeli soldier on a crane dangled over a fence near the border to trim a tree that could provide cover for infiltrators.

I was worried about developing other weightrelated health issues, as well. I researched gastric bypass for two years and chose Regional Bariatrics because of their track record of great outcomes. I lost 270 pounds… 200 in the first year. My wife had the surgery a year later, and we’re now enjoying the activities we loved as teenagers. Don’t wait to change your life!

BIRTHDAY WISHES: President Obama turns 49. 8A

Looking for the oil? NOAA says itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mostly gone WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; With a startling report that some researchers call more spin than science, the government said Wednesday that the mess made by the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is mostly gone already. Out of sight, though, doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean out of danger, nor is the Gulf now clean. The harmful effects of the summer of the spill can continue on for years even with oil at the microscopic level, a top federal scientist warned.

U.S. officials announced that nearly 70 percent of the spilled oil dissolved naturally, or was burned, skimmed, dispersed or captured, with almost nothing left to see â&#x20AC;&#x201C; at least on top of the water. That declaration came on the same day they trumpeted success in plugging up the leaking well with drilling mud, The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the U.S. Geological Survey announced in the five-page report that only 52.7 million gallons of oil are left

we talked about and repeated a lot have not and will not come to fruition,â&#x20AC;? White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said at a briefing with NOAAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top scientist. Much of the reasoning behind the disappearing oil has to do with the natural resilience of the Gulf, which is teeming with microbes that eat oil. On top of that is the natural tendency of oil in seawater to evaporate and dissolve to half its volume in about a week â&#x20AC;&#x201C; something even critics acknowledge.

in the Gulf. That is about 31 percent of the 172 million gallons that spewed into the water from the broken BP well. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s left in the water is still almost five times the amount spilled by the Exxon Valdez in 1989. Nevertheless, Wednesday was a day of cautious celebration by a White House that has had little to cheer about from the oil spill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it is fairly safe to say ... that many of the doomsday scenarios that

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Temperatures topped 100 degrees in much of the nation again Wednesday, elevating the risk of health problems and wildfires â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and in Arkansas, prompting a warning that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too hot to skin hogs. Excessive heat warnings stretched from Georgia to Texas and Illinois to Nebraska. In Arkansas, officials reported concrete had buckled and firefighters were busy with more than a dozen wildfires. They warned residents to take care to prevent more fires from starting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even chains (under a vehicle) dragging on road can shoot out sparks which can ignite grasses on the roadway,â&#x20AC;? said Christina Fowler, a spokeswoman for the Arkansas Forestry Commission.

THOMAS SOWELL: What’s the bottom line of Obama’s spending plans? TOMORROW

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

Tea Party, GOP aim to defeat the Democrats After reading the Opinion page column by Kristine Kaiser in your July 31 edition and many of her previous Tea Party and Republican bashing columns, I would like to inform her that the goals of the Tea Party and the Republican Party are to defeat the Democrats. Not to crawl across the street to go along with the Democrats. I have never read where Kaiser wanted to go along with the Republicans and the Tea Party. She talks of being a moderate. Just what is a moderate? I have never heard of any great things accomplished by a moderate. The name of the game in politics is to defeat the opposition, not just get along. So Kaiser can be aware that the Tea Party and the right-wing extremists Republicans, as she calls them, will be out in force to defeat the Democrats in November. I would hate to be on any kind of team, be it sports, politics or whatever, that wanted me to help the other side defeat us. She best get used to the fact that we are out to defeat her party as bad as possible. Why doesn’t she try to think of something that her party needs

Officer should use more discretion around children Let me say I love and respect all people in public service, but this guy was so out of line. My kids have always walked up to any service person and said, “Thank you for protecting the (city/or country)!” Ask around your local police, fire or armed servicemen and they will remember these two walking up to them just to say, thank you! But they are scared, and have lost their faith in our police. I was at my friend’s house and a puppy came up – cutest, sweetest, little, multicolored, mixed-breed pup. It had been starved, so she called police to come and get it to take to the Guilford County Animal Shelter. The officer who showed up, the

first thing he said was, “So you want me to take it! They are going to kill it!” He said this standing just feet from all five of our children ... ages 7 to 13, and all of them started crying! We tried to comfort the kids by saying “No they won’t kill it. They will take it to the shelter and adopt it out.” They now think the police were gonna kill the puppy. He said “No! They will euthanize it cause it has some pit blood in it!” We said it’s mixed breed and just a puppy. He then grabs the puppy by the scruff of the neck roughly and puts it in the cruiser. The puppy was about 3 months old; you don’t carry a puppy by the neck at that age. All four adults and all five kids thought his actions were just terrible. We told him he was wrong to say something so horrible in front of our kids and called his supervisor! Leave it to the High Point Police Department; they are still living up to that bad reputation with dogs! ROBIN VARNER High Point

t was exciting to read that the Pre-Market event this Sept. 1314 is continuing a recent growth trend. The twice-a-year events that precede the High Point Markets have been adding sponsors, and that translates to more people coming to the city to conduct business. The September event will have 25 sponsors, up three from last spring’s event. Continuing to improve and enlarge Pre-Market is a fine goal for its organizer, the High Point Market Authority.

he priorities for Ferndale (Middle School) are of course, the kids, instruction and curriculum, and a safe and orderly school.” If Angela Jackson, new principal at the school, can follow through on that statement, made during a reception for her last month, Ferndale should continue to show the improvement that began during Mark Harris’ two school terms at the helm. As a “turnaround” school under Harris’ guidance, Ferndale received a Signature School award from the Triad Education Consortium for improved student performance. Jackson, who promises to be firm but fair and to hold everyone to high expectations, now leads a school with a diverse student body – students speak 15 different languages and a majority of students are signed up for free and reduced-price lunches. She has the credentials – 15 years of classroom teaching experience and 12 years in administration and professional development. We like her approach – “The best way for me to make sure that the children are getting the best education is to be in the classroom ... to create a culture of feedback for myself and teachers in order to ensure the success of the students.” Go to it Angela!

She is keeping her faith but losing her religion

‘T

oday, I quit being a Christian.” With those words last week on Facebook, Anne Rice delivered a wake-up call for organized religion. The question is whether it will be recognized as such. “I remain committed to Christ as always,” she wrote, “but not to being ‘Christian’ or to being part of Christianity. It’s simply impossible for me to ‘belong’ to this quarrelsome, hostile, disputatious, and deservedly infamous group. For 10 years, I’ve tried. I’ve failed. I’m an outsider. My conscience will allow nothing else.” You will recall that the author, famed for her vampire novels, made a much publicized return to the Catholicism of her youth after years of calling herself an atheist. Now, years later, she says she hasn’t lost her faith, but she’s had it up to here with organized religion. “In the name of Christ,” she wrote, “I refuse to be anti-gay. I refuse to be anti-feminist. I refuse to be anti-artificial birth control. I refuse to be anti-Democrat. I refuse to be anti-secular humanism. I refuse to be anti-science. I refuse to be antilife.” If that was not nearly enough for atheist observers, one of whom berated her online for refusing to completely give up her “superstitious delusions,” it was surely plenty for people of faith. But Rice is hardly the only one who feels as she does. According to a 2008 study by Trinity College, religiosity is trending down sharply in this country. The American Religious Identification Survey, which polled over 54,000 American adults, found that the percentage who call themselves Christian has fallen by 10 since 1990 (from 86.2 percent to 76 percent) while the percentage of those who claim no religious affiliation has almost doubled (from 8.2 to 15) in the same span. Small wonder atheist manifestos are doing brisk business at bookstores and Bill Maher’s skeptical “Religulous” finds an appreciative audience in theaters. Organized religion, Christianity in particular, is on the decline, and it has no one to blame but itself: It traded moral authority for political power. To put that another way: The Christian Bible

contains numerous exhortations to serve those who are wretched and poor, to anger slowly and forgive promptly, to walk through this life in humility and faith. The word “Republican” does not appear in the book. Not once. Yet somehow in the last 30 OPINION years, people of faith were hustled and hoodwinked into regardLeonard ing the GOP platform as a lost Pitts gospel. Somehow, low taxes for ■■■ the wealthy and deregulation of industry became the very message of Christ. Somehow, hostility to science, gays, Muslims and immigrants became the very meaning of faith. And somehow Christianity became – or at least, came to seem – a wholly owned subsidiary of the Republican Party. Consider that, after the election of 2004, a church in North Carolina made news for kicking out nine congregants because they committed the un-Christian act of ... voting for Democrat John Kerry. Who can blame people for saying, If that’s faith, count me out. Has atheism ever had a better salesman than Jerry Falwell, blaming the Sept. 11 attacks on the ACLU or Pat Robertson laying Haiti’s earthquake off on an ancient curse? But what of those who are not atheists? What of those who feel the blessed assurance that there is more to this existence than what we can see or empirically prove? What of those who seek a magnificent faith that commits and compels, and find churches offering only a shriveled faith that marginalizes and demeans? Its response to those people, those “seekers,” will determine the future of organized religion. And it might behoove keepers of the faith to keep in mind the distinction Anne Rice drew in her farewell: Christ didn’t fail her, she said. Christianity did.

Just don’t call it a quagmire

The Enterprise reported details of the Aug. 6 bombing on the afternoon of Aug. 7.

It was a tragic event that saved millions of lives BY PAUL KENGOR

his week marks 65 years since the United States dropped the atomic bomb. On Aug. 6, 1945, President Harry Truman delivered a “rain of ruin” upon Hiroshima, Japan, with Nagasaki hit three days later, killing 100,000 to 200,000. Truman’s objective was to compel surrender from an intransigent enemy that refused to halt its naked aggression. The barbarous mentality of 1940s Japan was beyond belief. An entire nation lost its mind, consumed by a ferocious militarism and hell-bent on suicide. Facing such fanaticism, Truman felt no alternative but to use the bomb. As George C. Marshall put it, the Allies needed something extraordinary “to shock [the Japanese] into action.” Nothing else was working. Japan was committed to a downward death spiral, with no end in sight. “We had to end the war,” said a desperate Marshall later. “We had to save American lives.” Evidence shows the bomb achieved precisely that, saving millions of lives, not merely Americans but Japanese. The Japanese themselves acknowledged this, from the likes of Toshikazu Kase to Emperor Hirohito himself. Kase was among the high-level officials representing Japan at its formal surrender aboard the USS Missouri. “The capitulation of Japan,” Kase said definitively, “saved the lives of several million men.” As we mark the anniversary of this period, we should first and foremost think about those boys – our fathers, grandfathers, great grandfathers, uncles, brothers, some now in their 80s and 90s – who lived lives of faith and freedom and family because of Truman’s decision. I’ve met many of them. Anytime I find myself in conversation with a World War II vet, I ask where he was when the first bomb hit. “I’ll tell you where I was!” snapped George Oakes of Churchill, Pa. “I was a 22-year-old kid on a troop transport preparing to invade the Japanese mainland. … We were sitting there as targets for kamikazes when they dropped the first one. All they told us was that there was a new weapon brought into the war that landed on Japan proper, and everything we were planning was on hold. A couple of days later, they dropped the other one.” Oakes, who served with the Army combat engineers, didn’t want to die. “I was engaged to an absolutely beautiful girl named Virginia. All I knew was that I wanted to go home.” George remembered the U.S. military’s frustration in striking Japan mercilessly in conventional bombing raids. In one case, Allied bombs killed 100,000 people in Tokyo in one night. As George Marshall noted, “It had seemingly no effect whatsoever…. [Japa-

nese] morale was affected, so far as we could tell, not at all.” George Oakes saw that firsthand. “We were bombing the hell out of Japan with B-29s. Every Japanese soldier and person was ready to die for the Emperor. And they weren’t surrendering.” No, they weren’t. In fact, even after both atomic bombs, the Japanese War Cabinet remained deadlocked on whether to give up. The Emperor broke the stalemate. “Boy, were we thrilled,” recalled George when they got the news on their boat. They were spared an apocalyptic invasion that would have made Normandy look like a picnic at the beach. When I asked George if he felt gratitude toward President Truman, he responded with some colorful imagery: “Am I thankful? If Harry Truman walked down my street right now, I’d kiss his bare rear-end.” Instead of storming Japan with guns and grenades and flamethrowers, dodging kamikazes, shooting and stabbing and slicing and dicing not only Japanese men but screaming women-and-children-turned-combatants, George went home – to peace. He became a charter member of East Pittsburgh VFW Post 5008, and worked for Westinghouse for 44 years. He served as scoutmaster for Boy Scout Troop 98 and was a founding member, Eucharistic minister, and greeter at St. John Fisher Church. He was a frequent caller to Pittsburgh radio talk-shows and contributor to “Letters to the Editor” sections, which is where he caught my attention when I tracked him down in August 1995. Oh – and he married Virginia. George Oakes of Churchill died on Dec. 12, 2001, at age 78, an extra half-century after Harry Truman dropped the bomb, and arguably because Harry Truman dropped the bomb. For George and Virginia, married 55 years, that meant the added gift of life to three sons. He was buried with honors amid loved ones – not ripped to bloody, smoldering chunks of flesh on the death-strewn soil of Imperial Japan. George Oakes was far from alone. There were countless American boys-turned-men, husbands and dads and granddads, in the same boat. PAUL KENGOR, Ph.D., is professor of political science and executive director of The Center for Vision & Values at Grove City (Pa.) College. His books include “The Crusader: Ronald Reagan and the Fall of Communism” and the forthcoming “Dupes: How America’s Adversaries Have Manipulated Progressives for a Century.”

o say the release of 91,000 classified documents has revealed a disconnect between our public position on Afghanistan and the actual situation on the ground is like inferring a disparity between yoga and bayonets. Dawn dishwashing liquid and green olive tapenade. A tray full of Southern Comfort old-fashioned sweets and a herringbone Segway. Unlike the Pentagon Papers, we can’t even work up a good outrage, mainly because – come on – 91,000 documents. That’s like reading all seven Harry Potter books 30 times over. I don’t care how authentically rustic your wand is, nobody’s doing that. There are even questions as to whether it’s 91,000 documents or 92,000 documents, if all the documents have been released, or if more are being held in reserve for we mere Muggles. I know. What’s a thousand documents amongst friends? Well, there’s your problem. We don’t have any friends. Corruption over there is endemic, pandemic and epidemic. Our allies aren’t necessarily allied on our side. The fighting is going badly and a halfway decent deep-dish pizza crust remains a concept the Afghanis seem unable or unwilling to embrace. Not to mention democracy. Unplug the drain and the ring around the tub is we’ve been there eight years and things are so not getting better. As a matter of fact, you could say the movement more resembles whatever is the opposite of getting better. Don’t even mention quagmire. Hah. Hah. We sneer at your quagmire. Our Afghanistan participation makes a quagmire look like a refreshing dip in a spring-fed pool with buckets of frosty beer within reach and cold cucumber slices on our eyelids. Spa-spangled bog. This dastardly document dump also managed to tick off Pakistani officials who dispute claims that the ISI, their intelligence agency, is collaborating with the Taliban. “These allegations are always repeated.” Hmm. Curious as to why those allegations would always be

repeated, eh what? Maybe because, like the sun and those silly allegations about the rising in the east, they’re … TRUE? And for those OPINION of you surprised by the amount of Will grandstanding Durst caused by the ■■■ WikiLeaks disclosures, either you forgot it was an election year or have been making too many side trips to the magic brownie counter in your medicinal marijuana store. A veritable slew of congressmen are sharpening their budget scalpels, asking how we can toss Pakistan a couple billion a year in foreign aid while they’re helping Afghani insurgents. With friends like these, who needs enemy combatants? As unexpected as a checkered tablecloth in a pizzeria, the administration is playing down any revelations. “Nothing new to see here. Everything generally known. Move along.” Perhaps, just not generally known by the general public. Privately, White House officials anticipate using these leaks to pressure Pakistan to play nice. Yeah. Right. Dream on, big river. You got a better chance convincing Lindsay Lohan to give up all her nasty habits and start wearing one. If this leak tells us anything, it’s that this is not a winnable war. Right now, America has a lot of stuff on a lot of plates and keeping them all spinning is neither cheap nor easy. Afghan plates, on the other hand, are not very full and they seem to like it like that. Especially when deep-dish pizza crumbs can get them beheaded. As they say in Animal House, “If I were us, I’d be … leaving.” WILL DURST is a San Francisco-based political comedian who often writes. This being an example of questionable merit. His new CD, “Raging Moderate,” is now available from Stand Up! Records on both iTunes and Amazon. His column is distributed by the Cagle Cartoons Inc. syndicate.

NEW YORK (AP) – Rudy Giuliani’s daughter was arrested Wednesday on a misdemeanor shoplifting charge at a beauty supplies store, police said. Caroline Giuliani, a 20year-old Harvard University student, was seen on security cameras pocketing five items worth more than $100 at a Sephora store in Manhattan, New York Police Department spokesman Paul Browne said. Store managers, after calling police, said they didn’t want to press charges against her, Browne said. However, prosecutors decided she would be charged with petty larceny.

Obama girls call in birthday wishes CHICAGO – President Barack Obama got a couple of birthday presents that didn’t need unwrapping, and the White House says they were the highlight of his day. Obama turned 49 on Wednesday. Spokesman Robert Gibbs says the president got birthday wishes by telephone from first lady Michelle Obama and their daughter Sasha, who are visiting Spain. And daughter Malia, who is away at camp, used her allotted phone time to call around lunchtime to wish her dad a happy birthday.

Group sues to stop mosque NEW YORK (AP) – The debate over a planned Islamic community center and mosque near ground zero became a court fight Wednesday, as a conservative advocacy group sued to try to stop a project that has become a fulcrum for balancing religious freedom and the legacy of the Sept. 11 attacks. The American Center for Law and Justice, founded by the Rev. Pat Robertson, filed suit Wednesday to challenge a city panel’s decision to let developers tear down a building to make way for the mosque two blocks from ground zero. The city Landmarks Preservation Commission moved too fast in making a decision, underappreciated the building’s historic value and “allowed the intended use of the building and political considerations to taint the deliberative process,” lawyer Brett Joshpe wrote in papers filed in a Manhattan state court. The Washington, D.C.based group represents a firefighter who responded to and survived the terrorist attack at the World Trade Center. City attorneys are confident the landmarks group adhered to legal standards and procedures, Law Department spokeswoman Kate O’Brien Ahlers said. A spokesman for the planned Islamic center, Oz Sultan, declined to comment on the lawsuit but said organizers were continuing to work toward choosing an architect.

Bristol Palin calls it quits with fiance ANCHORAGE, Alaska – The on-again, off-again engagement between Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston is off – again. The 19-year-old daughter of former Alaska Gov.

Bristol Palin did not identify the woman when she gave a teary interview to People magazine to announce the breakup. A pregnant ex-girlfriend of Johnston has publicly denied he is the father.

LOS ANGELES – Brittany Murphy’s husband Simon Monjack died from pneumonia, the same illness that killed his actress wife months earlier, coroner’s officials said Wednesday. Monjack, 40, had a slightly enlarged heart and some prescription medications were found in his body, but not at levels that contributed to his death, Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter said.

Thomasville now requires door-to-door solicitors to buy license BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

THOMASVILLE – If you are a solicitor going door to door in the city of Thomasville, you now must get a permit from the Thomasville Police Department. Thomasville police Maj. James Mills said the city is requiring solicitors to buy identification permits from his law enforcement agency. The requirement comes after the Thomasville City Council approved a new ordinance in November that states solicitors and canvassers must get a permit to do business. “It was basically due to complaints,” Mills said of the ordinance. “We had so many individuals coming into our city, and council would get complaints that people were coming

to their doors, asking for money for this and asking money for that. I think it’s just that we got inundated over a long period of time. It was not just something that was thought of overnight. It’s been a process in the making.” Mills said solicitors are required to get a background check that costs $25 from the Davidson County Clerk of Court’s Office. If the applicant clears the background check, they must get fingerprinted for a cost of $10. Then they must pay $5 for the identification permit, which has their picture on it. The total cost is $40 for the process, which takes about a day to complete, according to Mills. “What we try to do is screen these people before they actually go within the neighborhood and go door to door because we

don’t want people who are operating scams or are not legit going door to door and deceiving our residents,” he said. “It is just another tool that we have as an agency in order to make our community safer.” According to Mills, census workers are exempt from the Thomasville permits because they already have permits issued by the federal government. He said permits can be revoked if the police department gets a number of complaints on the solicitor. Mills said if residents have a question about a solicitor using “unethical tactics” or “trying to be heavy handed,” they should make a complaint to the Thomasville Police Department at 475-4260. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

Police seek Archdale Food Mart robber ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

ARCHDALE – The Archdale Police Department is searching for a man who robbed the Archdale Food Mart on Tuesday. At 6:52 p.m., Archdale officers responded to the Archdale Food Mart at 1509 N. Main St. in reference to an armed robbery. When officers arrived, they were advised by the store clerk that a white male came into the business armed with a knife and demanded money out of the register. Police said the suspect did not make any threats toward the clerk. The suspect obtained an unknown amount of cash and ran from the business, according to police. Archdale police Chief Darrell Gibbs said Wednesday that nobody was injured in the armed robbery. Police described the suspect as being between 5 feet 5 inches and 5 feet 10 inches tall. The suspect had a white cloth or T-shirt covering his head and was wearing a white T-shirt, tan cargo style shorts and black tennis shoes at the time of the robbery.

County commissioners to reconsider land deal BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – County leaders will gather today in Greensboro to discuss a proposed property deal for a new $25 million southeast area elementary school. Commissioners sided with neighborhood residents July 22 and voted 5-3 against a 45-acre

‘This is an attractive proposition for us.’ Alan Duncan School board chairman site on Stewart Mill Road that the Guilford County Board of Education wants to buy for the new school. The Guilford County Board of Commissioners will meet at 5:30 p.m. with the school board at the Old Courthouse. The school board wants commissioners to reconsider the $907,000 deal which offers a partially developed site. The school board voted 8-2 last week

SCHOOL DEAL

—

Vote: All four Republican county commissioners voted against the proposed southeast area elementary school site on July 22. Only Democratic Commissioners Carolyn Coleman, Kirk Perkins and Chairman Skip Alston voted for it. Democratic Commissioners Bruce Davis and John Parks of High Point and Paul Gibson did not attend the session. Values: The 45-acre site on Stewart Mill Road was listed at $1.5 million. The Guilford County Board of Education has a school property budget of $1.2 million and negotiated a price of $907,000.

to resubmit the request. Board members Paul Daniels and Darlene Garrett voted against the motion. “This is an attractive proposition for us,” school board Chairman Alan Duncan said last week. “It saves seven figures over what we have seen.”

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

Superintendent Mo Green also has said the site, which has some water and sewer service, is suitable for a school. Many residents want the school built closer to the Southeast High School neighborhood and several commissioners agreed. School officials considered as many as 65 locations for the school voters approved in a $457 million 2008 bond referendum. “A better site can be found closer to where the students are, as promised to people in the district,” Republican Commissioner Steve Arnold of High Point said during a July 22 hearing. Southeast Guilford Community Association members lobbied commissioners to reject the site. “We are concerned about the children and what we need for them,” parent Melissa Adams told commissioners. “We don’t want a half-hour of busing. The deal is only as good as the need in the community. There is plenty of land out there closer to our students.” dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

Eight state projects on boondoggle list MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

RALEIGH â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Stoned monkeys, menopausal yogis, video-gaming retirees and insect trading cards are among the eight stimulus-funded projects in North Carolina that made a list of 100 questionable projects paid for by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. The report issued Tuesday by Republican Sens. John McCain of Arizona and Tom Coburn of Oklahoma highlights projects that are wasteful, mismanaged or worthless in terms of job creation. The report, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Summertime Blues,â&#x20AC;? was posted on Coburnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website, http:// coburn.senate. gov/public . All eight projects in this state are associated with university research. Projects cited in other states involved stimulus awards to local governments and private industry as well as academics.

Wake Forest University leads the state group with three citations, followed by two each for N.C. State University and Duke University. UNC Charlotte has only one citation, but it merits the dubious honor of being ranked No. 2 as an example of misspent taxpayer dollars. UNC Charlotte received $762,372 to develop a computerized choreography program â&#x20AC;&#x153;that its creators believe can lead to a YouTubelike â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Dance Tubeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; online application,â&#x20AC;? the report said. N.C. State ranks No. 39 for receiving $770,856 from the National Science Foundation to research how video games can help improve the mental health of the elderly. Duke University ranks No .41 for a $498,176 stimulus grant to investigate approaches for improving the privacy and functionality of socialnetworking sites such as Facebook and MySpace.

NC governor announces $83M in broadband grants RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; North Carolina is getting $83 million in federal money to expand broadband Internet access in rural parts of the state. Gov. Beverly Perdue announced Wednesday that the federal stimulus money will be broken up into five separate grants. The money will go to five corporations providing Internet service

in rural and underserved areas of North Carolina. All told, the grants are designed to benefit more than 80,000 residents, 37,000 businesses and 330 other community groups. Perdue says the grants will also create jobs up front as broadband capacity is built out in areas where the service is currently hard to come by.

Helen, known as Hana to her 11 grandchildren and 22 great-grandchildren, would have been 98 this September.

Momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kitchen floor remedy is embarrassing

ear Abby: When I went to visit my mother, I found her lying on the kitchen floor. I asked her what she was doing there, and she said the floor feels cold and hard and soothes her back. Abby, my mother has two very expensive beds in her home, and there is no reason for her to lie on the floor. It could be embarrassing if a friend or neighbor should pop in and find her there. How do I get her off the floor? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Not Bedridden In Florida Dear Not Bedridden: You should be more concerned with how things are than how they â&#x20AC;&#x153;mightâ&#x20AC;? be perceived by others. If your mother is having back trouble, encourage her to discuss it with her doctor or a chiropractor so she can be examined to make sure nothing is wrong. But if nothing is, then leave your poor mother alone. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the privacy of her own home, and she is hurting no one. Dear Abby: We have an ongoing discussion in our office. What color ink is proper for signing birthday cards, sympathy cards, farewell cards, etc? One co-worker continues to use colors other than blue or black. An older co-worker says itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inappropriate to use any other colors. I have searched for an answer to this question with no

luck. Can you help? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Seeing Red in Oklahoma Dear Seeing ADVICE Red: You seem to Dear have a lot Abby of time â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; on your hands in that office. What is being conveyed is more important than how it looks. To sign a sympathy card in bright red might be inappropriate because it is jarring. For cards celebrating happy occasions, colored ink is acceptable â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the exception being fluorescent ink because it is hard to read. Dear Abby: My aunt and uncle are â&#x20AC;&#x153;largeâ&#x20AC;? people. In the past we have had to be extremely cautious about where they sit when they come visit. Our furniture is mostly hand-me- downs and not overly sturdy. They have, on occasion, broken the furniture because of their weight. We have had to have our kitchen chairs reglued, and once a chair was destroyed beyond repair. They have never ever offered to make amends for the furniture they have damaged. We are about to order a new dining room set and living room furniture. Naturally, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want these broken. My husband has suggested

giving them only sturdy folding chairs to sit on, but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to embarrass them or make them feel unwelcome. Is there a way to protect our furniture without hurting or offending my aunt and uncle? We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the money to constantly replace broken items. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Strictly Anonymous in the Midwest Dear Strictly Anonymous: To drag out folding chairs for your aunt and uncle to use would be glaringly obvious. Consider buying a couple of sturdy chairs (and possibly have them reinforced with metal bracing) for them. When you know theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re coming, â&#x20AC;&#x153;guideâ&#x20AC;? them toward the chairs you want them to use. If you are questioned about it, explain (kindly) that in the past your chairs have been broken or needed repair â&#x20AC;&#x201C; so these were bought with them in mind because they are sturdier and you want them to be comfortable. If they take offense, then please realize that the problem is theirs. To prepare for guests with â&#x20AC;&#x153;special needsâ&#x20AC;? is an example of good hospitality, not rudeness.

Lupus related to rheumatoid arthritis

ear Dr. Donohue: My 28-year-old daughter, who has been healthy all her life, was recently diagnosed with lupus. Will she be able to live a full life, including having children. Is there a cure? How about exercise and diet? – R.K.

BLONDIE

In the 1950s, a diagnosis of lupus carried only a 50 percent chance of living for five more years. Sixty years later, the chance of living for at least 20 more years is 90 percent, and the majority of lupus patients have a normal life span. Pregnancy is definitely possible. Doctors tell their lupus patients to delay pregnancy until the illness has been inactive for six months. That kind of delay in disease activity occurs in almost all lupus patients. Lupus is in the same class of illness as rheumatoid arthritis. It’s an autoimmune disease, one brought on by the immune system attacking many body organs and tissues. Joints and muscles are targets. The wrists, hands, elbows, knees and ankles are the joints most often involved. Skin rashes are common. One rash is often mentioned. It’s a redness on both cheeks connected by a red bar over the bridge of the nose. This is the “butterfly” rash of lupus, seen less often than it is talked about. The kidneys, heart and nervous

system can be affected. The outlook for an individual lupus patient depends on HEALTH how many organs are Dr. Paul involved Donohue and how ■■■ well the patient responds to treatment. There isn’t a cure. There are many control medicines. Lupus typically has periods of worsening and periods when the illness goes into remission. Medicines make remissions longer and longer. Lupus has no special diet. Exercise is encouraged when the illness is in remission. You or your daughter can contact the Lupus Foundation of America for more information and for becoming acquainted with other patients in your town. The website is www.lupus.org, and the phone number is 202349-1155. Dear Dr. Donohue: What ramifications might happen when people share drinks, table food and ice-cream cones with their dogs? They resume eating, drinking or licking the food after their pets have “sampled” it. How healthy is this? – B.A. I wouldn’t think of eating food after a family member had sampled it with his or her tongue,

teeth or mouth. The thought grosses me out. Every person has a slightly different bacterial population in his mouth, and we cope well only with our own bacteria. A dog’s mouth, in spite of claims to the contrary, is not cleaner than the mouth of a human. Dog bites often become infected due to the germs in their mouths. People eating food after a dog has sampled it are asking for trouble. Dear Dr. Donohue: I just received my grandmother’s death certificate. It says: “Cause of death: uterine hemorrhage. Contributing cause: surgical shock.” She died in 1931 at the young age of 33. What does all this mean? – J.F. Hemorrhage is massive bleeding. She bled from her uterus either during an operation or from a tumor, a twisted fibroid or an infection. Surgical shock isn’t a term used these days. Shock means that the bleeding was so great, her blood pressure dropped. Not enough blood could circulate to her organs, including her brain and heart. In those days, such a catastrophe almost always resulted in death. I’m guessing at the meaning of surgical shock. I take it to mean that the bleeding occurred during surgery.

HIGH POINT – “Kruisin’ for the Kids Auto Show” will be held 9 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday at Mendenhall Station on E. Commerce Avenue. Sponsored by NAPA Auto Care Center, the show benefits the Salvation Army Boys & Girls Club. Cost to show a car is $15 in advance, $20 the day of the show. Registration is $50 for the Best Wrapped Car category. Call 881-5444 or visit www.kruisinforthekids.com.

Answer: Newly planted trees and shrubs are most sensitive to heat and drought damage. Special care should be taken to help establish strong roots on plants younger than one or two years old. Be sure to mulch all plants with no more than 2 inches to 3 inches of bark mulch to conserve moisture and protect roots from high temperatures. Mulch plants to the drip line or outermost canopy, if possible. Avoid growing lawn grasses up to the base of trees, as both plants will be competing for moisture. Keep trees and plants evenly watered and be sure to water slightly beyond their outer perimeter. Plants should receive at

least 1-1½ inches of water per week during normal weather, and 2-2½ inches of irrigation or natural rainfall during excessively high temperatures. As for lawns, cool-season grasses such as fescue will naturally go into dormancy during high temperatures and drought. Dormancy protects plants from extreme desiccation and high temperatures. Lawns will normally resume growing once proper temperature and moisture returns. If we have excessive droughts of three weeks or longer, it would be a good idea to get 1 inch of water down to keep the crown alive. KAREN C.

Movies with lovable animals stand the test of time CHRISTY LEMIRE AP MOVIE CRITIC

OS ANGELES – The cats and dogs of “Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore” have all kinds of superspy gadgetry and training at their disposal: jetpacks, tricked-out collars, the works. But they come from a long and lovable tradition of live-action animal movies – ones that were simpler and sweeter, which seem to be in short supply these days, given the eye-popping sophistication of computer animation. Here’s a look at five that deserve two paws up: • “Babe” (1995): This is a movie about a talking pig – a talking pig, people! – that was nominated for seven Academy Awards, including best picture and best supporting actor for James Cromwell. (It won one, for visual effects.) That’s how good it is. Director and cowriter Chris Noonan’s film about a pig who learns how to herd sheep is so sweet, so funny, so unexpectedly touching, it never hits a false note. As voiced by Christine Cavanaugh, Babe might just be the most earnest, most adorable creature ever. That he befriends sheepdogs, horses, ducks and humans alike is only part of his charm. A childlike

METRO-GOLDWYN-MAYER | AP

Roddy McDowall sits besides a collie named Lassie in a scene from “Lassie Come Home.” sense of wonder and the attitude that anything is possible round out his allure. • “My Dog Skip” (2000): Just writing the name of the movie makes me want to tear up. Seriously, there is no way to get through this thing without bawling – I dare you to try. Several power-

ful forces are at work here: an insanely cute Frankie Muniz as our shy, 9-year-old hero; the idea of a dog being your only real friend when you’re a lonely, insecure kid; and of course, Skip himself, a lovable, scruffy Jack Russell terrier. Sure, this coming-of-age tale yanks relentlessly at

your heartstrings – and Skip’s antics might seem a little too wacky for the truly, deeply cynical – but its own heart is in the right place. • “Lassie Come Home” (1943): Maybe it’s because I had a collie as a little girl, but I can walk into this movie at any point and find tears streaming down my face within seconds. It’s a classic, of course, featuring a young Roddy McDowell and Elizabeth Taylor (and it was remade pretty faithfully a few years ago with Peter O’Toole and Samantha Morton). No, “Lassie” is not realistic. The dog is possessed of such preternatural navigational skills, she can find her way from Scotland to Yorkshire on her own, despite the many obstacles and threats along the way. But when she arrives back home and young Joe Carraclough sees her again for the first time ... wow. Manipulative, yes, but effective. • “The Black Stallion” (1979): It’s scary and thrilling, amusing and inspirational – which means it has all the ingredients for a perfect family film. And that Arabian horse creates such a striking figure, you can’t help but be in awe of its majesty. The gorgeous cinematography from Caleb Deschanel certainly contributes to

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

the mystical quality of the film, but the fundamental story is what’s crucial: that of a bond between a boy and a horse, which is forged spiritually and without unnecessary dialogue. And Mickey Rooney is a hoot as the horse trainer who drives the stallion to greatness, a role that earned him an Oscar nomination for best supporting actor. • “Every Which Way But Loose” (1978): Goofy, but kinda irresistible in its self-awareness – although we probably didn’t need the 1980 sequel, “Any Which Way You Can.” You have to love Clint Eastwood toying with his toughguy image by playing ... a tough guy whose best friend is an orangutan. Eastwood plays a trucker and a barroom brawler – an easygoing guy who nonetheless has a penchant for trouble. Clyde is the beer-sipping orangutan he wins on a bet who becomes his right-hand man. There’s some romance with Sondra Locke as the country singer who catches his eye, but the real love affair is between Eastwood and his furry, fun-loving pal. THINK OF ANY OTHER EXAMPLES? Share them with AP Movie Critic Christy Lemire through Twitter: www.twitter. com/christylemire.

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) – “Law & Order: Los Angeles” is getting another big-name prosecutor. Oscar-nominated Terrence Howard is joining the cast of the new NBC drama and will rotate with co-star Alfred Molina as deputy district attorney, according to series creator Dick Wolf. “I feel like manager of the 1961 Yankees. I have my Mantle and Maris,” Wolf said, referring to famed sluggers Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris. Howard, an Oscar nominee for “Hustle & Flow,” also has appeared in the films “Iron Man,” ‘’Crash” and “Ray.” Also joining the cast is Corey Stoll, who will play a police detective. Stoll appears in the new Angelina Jolie film “Salt” and gueststarred in the original “Law & Order.” His character is partner to Skeet Ulrich’s detective. Wolf was circumspect about the demise of the original “Law & Order” series, which was canceled by NBC after a 20-year run that tied the record set by “Gunsmoke” but lost the chance to break it. “That’s business. That’s life. Everything on TV is born under a death sentence. They just don’t tell you the execution date,” Wolf said, adding that the show had a great run. Asked if money had been the dealbreaker in renewal talks with NBC, Wolf retorted, “You can’t believe we’re going to discuss negotiations.” “There’s so many factors that entered into the network’s decision. ... In the 25 years I’ve been continuously on the air at NBC, we’ve never failed to make a deal when there was a deal to be made,” he said.

You don’t have the values to force to game and can’t bid three diamonds, but your hand is good enough to invite game. Raise to three hearts. Since partner promises a six-card suit, your support is adequate. Your spade honors may be useful, and you have a possible ruffing feature in clubs. West dealer Both sides vulnerable

Thursday, August 5, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Jonathan Silverman, 44; Patrick Ewing, 48; Maureen McCormick, 54; Neil Armstrong, 80 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Set your goals, use your imagination and don’t look back. You can conquer anything and anyone with your knowledge and preparation. It’s been a long time coming but now you can prosper. Your ability to walk away from any situation you don’t like is your safety net. Your numbers are 3, 10, 12, 21, 28, 36, 42 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Put what you know and the skills you have to work for you. Take advantage of any opportunity to network or socialize with people who share your interests. Opportunities that arise suddenly must be recognized and taken advantage of. ★★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Love is on the rise and, whether you are in a relationship or single, you should be making an effort to enhance your personal life. Strive for perfection professionally and you will be given an opportunity to advance. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): If you allow anything to interfere with the results you need to acquire, you will be shortchanged. Play hard and play fair at whatever game or challenge you face. Your morals, ethics, imagination and strong sense of justice will enable you to outdo the competition. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Be prepared to deal with the unexpected. Avoid arguments and taking on burdens that don’t belong to you. Not everyone will be easy to get along with and emotional manipulation may be used to try to get you to do things you don’t care to do. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Now is not the time to dawdle or dwell on the past when you should be moving at lightning speed to reach your goals. You will have choices to make that may not please everyone but you must follow your own set of rules. ★★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Letting your emotions lead the way will cause stress. Put your practical cap on and stick to your game plan. A sudden loss will occur if you aren’t precise in what you say and do. ★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You can come up with some great ideas that will keep you out of trouble, help you find ways to spend your time and lead you to people who feed your imagination and support you. Travel, get together with friends, attend a reunion or invest time in a partnership. ★★★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): A money deal will be presented. Don’t scoff at what’s being offered when a little negotiating on your part will allow you to get what you want. Join forces with people willing to take a chance and try something new. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’ll have plenty of chances to make changes both at work and at home. Your desire to get things done will show everyone you mean business and that you will reach your goals. Don’t let criticism or negativity stop you. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Focus on love, money and long-term commitments. Anything superficial should be left alone. You want to go with no-risk ventures and stick to people you can count on. Anything less will lead to regret. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You have a commitment to fulfill, a chance to improve what you are and what you are capable of doing. Learn from past mistakes and don’t fall into the same traps you have worked so hard to put behind you. Good fortune is ahead. ★★★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Keep your emotions out of any negotiations you are involved in. Don’t let someone’s uncertainty discourage you. You may not feel that you can move forward alone but, in time, you will be glad you did. ★★ 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.

For Sheryl Crow, new album reflects her emotions N

EW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Although working from home is convenient, sometimes it pays to go to the office. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what Sheryl Crow discovered when she jettisoned her Nashville home studio for a Los Angeles one to record her latest album, â&#x20AC;&#x153;100 Miles From Memphis.â&#x20AC;? The L.A. location led a few famous friends to stop by, including Justin Timberlake. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I dragged him into the studio and said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I want you to hear something,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? she recalled. She played him her cover of Terence Trent Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Arbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sign Your Name,â&#x20AC;? redone with a Memphis sound. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He looked at me and said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;You know Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m from Memphis ... Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got the backgrounds on this.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; And he came in and he sang on this,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That sort of thing doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working from home.â&#x20AC;? The album also has other guests, including Keith Richards and Citizen Cope. But the star of the album is the sound of Memphis, a mix of rock, soul and country that influenced the 48-yearold when she grew up in

Kennett, Mo., which, like the title of her album says, is about 100 miles away. AP: Your last album, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Detours,â&#x20AC;? delved into politics and personal hardship. Did you intentionally plan a lighter record with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Memphisâ&#x20AC;?? Crow: Your life always influences your art or informs your art, and the last record, I felt a real sense of urgency about

AP: I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel stifled because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to make the kind of record that I want to make just because it is an extension of who I am. It would be difficult to put parameters on that. ... I still believe in that record. I believe in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Detoursâ&#x20AC;? record and I believe it will have longevity ... it will definitely be a snapshot of the time we were living in. But I would

Your life always influences your art or informs your art. Sheryl Crow that record, about the themes on that record. ... I have two kids now, and although Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m deeply invested emotionally in whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on politically â&#x20AC;&#x201C; whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on in this country, whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on environmentally â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I think my heart was in a place of wanting to just be emotional and be in a place of vulnerability and write songs from a place of desire, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already historically what R&B music is about anyway. AP: You have said that the market wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t interested in your last album because of the serious themes. Does that ever frustrate you?

have made that record no matter what. And this record is necessary because where I am now. AP: You recently adopted a second child. How has life changed? Crow: Having one is like having one, having two is like having 20. But like I said, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s double the love. It just gets bigger and bigger. My son is really loving having a little brother. He feels like he came into our lives for him, which is the way I want him to feel. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only changing insofar as when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on tour; obviously, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about creating a home on a tour bus. Wyatt is very adapted to that, and Levi

EW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Paul Lee, who as head of ABC Family invigorated the once-flagging cable channel, has been appointed president of the ABC Entertainment Group. His responsibilities include the ratings-challenged ABC broadcast network. In his new role, Lee will oversee ABC Studios, as well as development, programming, marketing and scheduling operations for ABC Entertainment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success at ABC Family is as amazing as it is indisputable, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking forward to his continued success on ABC,â&#x20AC;? said DisneyABC Media Networks

co-chairman Anne Sweeney in making the announcement Friday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;ABC Lee is a great network defined by creativity and known for delivering some of the best shows on television,â&#x20AC;? Lee said, adding he was honored to be chosen â&#x20AC;&#x153;for the unique opportunity to lead the network and the brand into the future.â&#x20AC;? Lee had been thought the likely choice after Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s abrupt resignation of Stephen McPherson, who had held the job for six years. Leeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s successor at ABC Family has not yet been named.

Lee arrived at ABC Family in 2004 with the challenge of turning around what had once been the Fox Family Channel, a puny cable outlet that had been bought by the Walt Disney Co. three years earlier for more than $5 billion with the idea of recycling shows already seen on ABC. He gave a new, hip twist to the idea of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fam-

His many successes in original programming include â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Secret Life of the American Teenager,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Greekâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pretty Little Liars.â&#x20AC;? 10463 N.

EW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t call it â&#x20AC;&#x153;American Idol.â&#x20AC;? Call it â&#x20AC;&#x153;Extreme Makeover: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Idolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Edition.â&#x20AC;? The composition of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Idolâ&#x20AC;? judgesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; panel seems to be changing by the minute, in flux like a lunch counter during the noon rush. Everyone but Larry King and Kate Gosselin is rumored as a candidate to replace tarttongued Simon Cowell (out the door to create his own talent competition), Ellen DeGeneres and who knows who else. The only guarantees left on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Idolâ&#x20AC;? are offkey contestants, host Ryan Seacrest (peerless as a combination maitre dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and traffic cop), and all those conspicuous glasses of Coke. Even the ratings â&#x20AC;&#x201C; while still gigantic â&#x20AC;&#x201C; are no longer on the upswing. The audience for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Idolâ&#x20AC;? has lately been sliding, which, of course, is what the makeover is meant to arrest. So who will actually populate the judgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s panel when â&#x20AC;&#x153;Idolâ&#x20AC;? re-

turns on Fox for its 10th season next January? An abrupt DeGeneres announcement went out last wseek that DeGeneres was calling it quits. This, after Fox had breathlessly announced signing the popular comedian-talk show host last October to replace dizzy Paula Abdul, a charter â&#x20AC;&#x153;Idolâ&#x20AC;? judge who is planning yet another talent tourney. Meanwhile, other reports proposed that time had run out for singer-songwriter Kara DioGuardi. Brought on board two seasons ago when the panel of judges was expanded from three to four, she has always seemed no more knowledgeable than she is expendable.

is just a baby. He doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know anything different. AP: What is your outlook now as far as what you want to do musically and personally? Crow: The breast cancer experience for me was a reminder that we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really control anything. ... For me it was a great reminder first of who I am. ... It dictated that I make big assessments about my life and what I wanted my life to look like from that point on, and it gave me an opportunity for me to reflect on how I had gotten to the place where I was. And just the act of saying no on my own behalf was a real challenge for me, and now, I look at my life and I can only say that making plans for me is not realistic. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about being inspired and being authentic. AP: Does part of that life include romance? Crow: I will tell you that I guard my private life ferociously. The last experience that I had (with Lance Armstrong) was so public, and it was not an experience that I want to go through again. So I really keep my private life extremely private. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t show up to places with my relationships because I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to invite that in again.

--High Point Central girls basketball coach Kenny Carter reacts during a game in the 2006 playoffs. Carter has resigned as the Bison coach following a 25-year career filled with memorable moments. Below (from left) Carter hopped to it in 2000, celebrated the 1997 state championship, and expressed his displeasure during the 2005 season.

enny Carter spent his nights in the gymnasium yelling and whistling to his players, raising his arms to the heavens in excitement, jumping in exhortation, collapsing into his chair in frustration. It was a show well known to area basketball fans. And after 25 years of unbridled energy, the curtain came down quietly when Carter told High Point Central athletic director Mike Cook on Monday that he was resigning as head coach of the Bison. “I still have passion and I still love it. I know I’m going to miss it,” Carter said Wednesday. “It’s a personal decision. There have been more frustrating days than positive days, and I think the best thing is to remove myself from that equation.” Carter guided his teams to state titles in 1993, 1997, 1999, 2001 and 2002, accumulating a career record of approximately 575-125. His final championship bid came in 2005 – one of two times his girls finished as state runnersup – and difficult seasons would follow. This year’s incoming senior class went 14-14 as freshmen, but showed promise with records of 18-9 two years ago and 22-5 last season. Still, Carter said he sensed a change from the program’s early days. He spent time away from the court over the spring months to “decompress and evaluate things,” and when the coach failed to see what he wanted during summer workouts, he elected to resign.

“We got some things back in place, but all the things that I think it takes for a program to be successful, we didn’t get those things back,” Carter said. “Accountability, responsibility, trusting in something, believing in something – I’m SPORTS not going to waver in those things, and those things aren’t Steve in place right now. That’s not Hanf bashing the kids. I’m kind of an ■■■ old-school guy and I couldn’t get our kids to buy into that. “My hope is that somebody else can come in and get those things back.” The 51-year-old Carter, who played baseball for High Point College after graduating from Trinity High School, said he plans to continue teaching in the physical education department at Central. This August marks his 29th year in education. The first year without basketball will prove an interesting challenge. “Walk away from 25 years of something that had been a daily part of my life – half of my life I’ve been in the gym coaching the Lady Bison and I’ve never known anything but that,” Carter offered. “I’ll have to re-acclimate myself to life without coaching.” That being said, Carter went on to speak of his plans for helping this year’s seniors

find college homes, continuing his work with his Hoops and Dreams camps, hosting the annual Thanksgiving weekend and Christmas week tournaments so far as it doesn’t interfere with the new staff. He might be stepping away as coach of the Bison, but there’s no leaving behind the profession. “I still think I have a lot of life left and a lot of coaching left,” Carter said. “Whether it be at the college level or finding another high school job down the road – I hope I can find something or someplace where I enjoy it like I did the 25 years I did it here. The 25 years was a pretty good ride.” He deserves leaving on his own terms, said Cook, who as a high school senior kept Carter’s scorebook during the 1993 championship run and whose first memory of the fiery coach came when Cook was just a sixthgrader: It was Central vs. Andrews – and Carter got ejected from the contest. Hundreds of wins followed. Some 50 players would go on to play in college. Another dozen or so joined the coaching ranks themselves. “It’s a big loss, definitely a huge loss for us,” said Cook, who has started the search for Carter’s replacement. “But Coach has been in it long enough, he deserves to do whatever makes him happy.” shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

The Big Three of the Boston Celtics are now a Very Big Four. The Eastern Conference champions signed 7-foot1, 325-pound Shaquille O’Neal on Wednesday, adding the 15time All-Star to a team needing his size with center Kendrick Perkins recovering from knee surgery that could sideline him until February. The deal with the free agent center is for two years and about $3 million, a person with knowledge of the negotiations said on condition of anonymity. O’Neal joins the other three big names – Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen – on a team that went to the seventh game of the NBA finals before losing to the Los Angeles Lakers. Since then, Boston signed center-forward Jermaine O’Neal. “I am honored to be joining the Celtics,” O’Neal said in a statement issued by the club. “I have played against Paul, Ray, Kevin, Rajon (Rondo), and Jermaine for many years and it will be great to be able to call them my teammates.”

HIT AND RUN

he Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2010 features plenty of star power: Emmitt Smith, Jerry Rice, Russ Grimm, Rickey Jackson, Dick LeBeau, Floyd Little and John Randle are all worthy of their enshrinement in Canton this weekend. These guys could play. But once again, another worthy candidate failed to get the Hall call. Miami Dolphins’ offensive lineman Bob Kuechenberg remains on the outside looking in. That’s wrong. Kuechenberg excelled with the Dolphins from 1970 until 1983, spending the 1984 season on injured reserve. He started 176 of a possible 196 regular-season games in his career. Kuechenberg was a six-time Pro Bowler and

three-time All-Pro. He helped the Dolphins make three straight Super Bowls in the early ‘70s and performed well in Miami’s back-toback wins in Super Bowls VII and VIII. Kuechenberg’s linemates included Hall of Famers Jim Langer, Larry Little and Dwight Stephenson. He’s come close to joining them in the Hall numerous times. Kuechenberg was selected as one of the top 15 finalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame from 2002-06, and one of the top 17 finalists from 2007-09, but failed to make the final cut every time. Perhaps Kuechenberg’s outspoken ways hurt him with Hall of Fame voters. Kuechenberg calls it like he sees it and never shies away from controversial topics.

But you can’t question his toughness. Kuechenberg played nearly every offensive snap of Super Bowl VIII with a broken arm. He more than held his own against Vikings’ Hall of Famer Alan Page and was a key cog in the Dolphins’ march to a 24-7 victory. The previous season, Kuechenberg was a mainstay as the Dolphins drove to a 17-0 record. That team remains the only one in NFL history to go undefeated and untied through the regular season and playoffs. Kuechenberg merits a place in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. I hope he gets that call from the Hall soon.

A-Rod hits 600th THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK – Alex Rodriguez added his own memento to Monument Park, even though retirement remains years off. After struggling to hit his 600th home run, ARod reached the milestone with his usual dramatic flair. He became the youngest player to attain the mighty mark and did it by driving a pitch over Yankee Stadium’s center-field fence and into the area where the pinstriped greats are remembered. And remarkably, he did it exactly three years to the day after his 500th homer. “That’s amazing,” Rodriguez said. “To the day.” His two-run, first-inning drive off Toronto’s Shaun Marcum put New York ahead, and the Yankees coasted to a 5-1 victory over the Blue Jays on a sweltering Wednesday afternoon. The win ended the Yankees’ three-game losing streak. Rodriguez went 9-for-46 after homering on July 22, the longest stretch between Nos. 599 and 600 for any of the seven to reach the mark. He was hitless in his last 17 at-bats. “It was a relief just to put it past me,” he said. “There’s no question I was pressing ’cause I wanted to get it out of the way.” A-Rod reached the milestone after a 12-game drought, connecting with a 2-0 pitch over the middle of the plate for his 17th home run of the season. Frankie Babilonia, a 23-year-old in his secondyear as a Yankee Stadium security guard, retrieved the ball and gave it to his supervisor, who had it passed on to Rodriguez. Babilonia got to the ball

Weaver opens with 66 ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

GORDONSVILLE, Va. – High Point’s Drew Weaver enjoyed a solid start to the eGolf Professional Tour Championship event at Spring Creek Golf Club. Weaver carded a bogey-free round of 6-under-par 66 and is tied with four other players in third place. Tadd Fujikawa and Lee Williams were the first-round co-leaders after rounds of 7-under 65 on Wednesday. Both players recorded five birdies and an eagle. Thomasville’s Chad Wilfong shot a 4-under 68 and was among six players tied for 10th place. The Championship is open to the top 50 members on the eGolf Tour money list. The fourround tournament does not have a cut, meaning guaranteed prize money to each player. First place will be worth $25,000. At the conclusion of the event, the top 20 members on the Tour money list will have their PGA Tour QSchool entry paid for by the tour – a $4,500 value per player. Weaver currently ranks 18th and Wilfong 57th.

Alex Rodriguez connects for his 600th career home run during the first inning of Wednesday’s game against the Blue Jays at Yankee Stadium. because another security guard in the area was on break, and he was rewarded with an autographed A-Rod bat. Babilonia said it was his job to turn in the ball, and he never thought about trying to keep it. In January, the ball a fan caught for A-Rod’s 500th homer was auctioned for $103,579. At 35 years, 8 days, Rodriguez joined a club that includes Barry Bonds (762), Hank Aaron (755), Babe Ruth (714), Willie Mays (660), Ken Griffey Jr. (630) and Sammy Sosa (609). The next youngest was Ruth at 36 years, 196 days, in 1931, though he did it in 183 fewer games. Marcum said the homer came on a cut fastball. “It’s just another one on my stats. It’s important to him,” Marcum said. A-Rod raised a hand slightly in triumph as he rounded first base, then completed his trot to the

roar of the crowd of 47,659. He was greeted at home plate by Yankees captain Derek Jeter, both slapping outstretched hands above their heads. Jeter also had been on base for his 500th homer. “A lot of good things for him to come. He’s got another 15 years,” Jeter said. “You never know how many he’s going to hit.” Toronto manager Cito Gaston was playing for the San Diego Padres the day Mays hit his 600th in 1969. “I don’t think too many guys can say they saw a 600th homer hit by two different guys,” he said. Rodriguez rated the experience under winning the World Series last year – and even not as significant as passing players on the career list. “We’re fascinated by even numbers. The real milestone is when you start surpassing some

of the all-time greats,” he said. “No personal achievement can compare to celebrating on the mound and being the last team standing.”

ATHLETICS 4, ROYALS 3 OAKLAND, Calif. – Kevin Kouzmanoff hit a tiebreaking, two-run double in the sixth inning and the A’s took advantage of two errors to take the three-game series. Sean O’Sullivan (1-2) is still looking for his first victory since joining the Royals.

CUBS 15, BREWERS 3 CHICAGO – Geovany Soto homered and had five RBIs, pinch-hitter Aramis Ramirez capped a six-run sixth inning with a three-run shot, and the Cubs snapped a sevengame losing streak. Blake DeWitt added a homer and four RBIs and Starlin Castro had a career-high four hits for

Chicago, which avoided matching the longest skid of Lou Piniella’s four years as manager. The Cubs had been outscored 67-20 during the streak, including Monday’s 18-1 loss to Milwaukee.

Cueto (11-2) had pitched 18 scoreless innings against the Pirates until Andrew McCutchen, back in the lineup 17 hours after being hit in the neck by a 90-mph fastball, led off the first with his ninth homer.

ROCKIES 6, GIANTS 1 DENVER – Ubaldo Jimenez won his major league-leading 17th game and Carlos Gonzalez homered twice as the Rockies beat the Giants. Troy Tulowitzki also homered for the streaking Rockies, who have won five of six. Madison Bumgarner (4-4) allowed four runs on nine hit in four-plus innings.

REDS 9, PIRATES 4 PITTSBURGH – Johnny Cueto dominated the Pirates again over six innings, while Paul Janish homered and drove in four runs as the Reds assured themselves of staying atop the NL Central.

BRAVES 8, METS 3 ATLANTA – Brian McCann drove in three runs with a homer and two doubles and the Braves overcame an injury to starter Kris Medlen to beat the Mets. The right-handed Medlen left the game in the fifth inning after hurting the ulnar collateral ligament in his pitching elbow. He will have an MRI exam on Thursday. Chipper Jones and McCann hit back-to-back homers off Mike Pelfrey (10-6) in the third inning. McCann’s line-drive shot into the right-field seats gave the Braves a 3-2 lead.

Tar Heels in NCAA probe will practice Friday THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

THE ACC NOTEBOOK CHAPEL HILL – North Carolina defensive tackle Marvin Austin and receiver Greg Little will practice when the Tar Heels open training camp Friday despite being the focus of an NCAA investigation. The NCAA is looking into whether Austin and Little received improper benefits from agents. Investigators notified the school in June of the inquiry and visited the campus to interview players on July 12 and 13. That’s according to public records requested by The Associated Press from the school. While the two players will practice, team spokesman Kevin Best says Austin and Little won’t be available for comment. The Tar Heels open the season against LSU in Atlanta on Sept. 4.

’CANES ALL GROWN UP CORAL GABLES, Fla. – Jacory Harris was wide-

Harris in the same boat as many other Hurricanes in 2008, a young guy with high expectations who was getting thrown quickly into the pressure-cooker of big-time college football as Miami began its rebuilding project after a disastrous 5-7 season. Those days are gone. “Can’t sit up there and say ‘we’re young’ anymore,” said Harris, the quarterback who threw for 3,352 yards and 24 touchdowns a year ago in his first season as Miami’s full-time starter. “We’re all juniors and seniors, basically. And we’re ready to have some fun.” Ah, fun will be a relative term over the coming 28 days for Miami, which opens training camp this morning, exactly four weeks before the Sept. 2 season-opener against Florida A&M. A trip to Ohio State for a rematch

of a past national championship game will loom the following weekend, but the Hurricanes are already insisting they’re not looking too far down the road. “The only thing I’ve got to concern myself about,” Miami coach Randy Shannon said, “is August.”

Myers aiming for Bowman Gray boost ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

Carolina Panthers linebackers coach Richard Smith directs James Anderson (50) during practice at training camp in Spartanburg, S.C. Anderson has routinely come into camp just hoping to make the Panthers’ regular-season roster. Now he is a starter at strongside linebacker and another player the Panthers need more from this season.

Panthers f inally hit it hard THE PANTHERS NOTEBOOK: SPARTANBURG, S.C. (AP) – On the seventh day of training camp, the Carolina Panthers finally did some tackling in an animated and competitive goal-line scrimmage. The defense kept the offense out of the end zone on four of six plays from the 3-yard line with full contact near the end of Wednesday’s morning workout. The coaching staff held out starting running back DeAngelo Williams from the three plays involving the first team. With numerous other injuries at the position, Josh Vaughan ran the ball all three times. Vaughan scored once running to his left, but was stuffed by linebacker Dan Connor and James Anderson on the first two carries. “It was kind of exciting to see, both sides of the ball getting after it,” said quarterback Matt Moore, who didn’t throw a pass. The second team scored a touchdown on the first play, with Hunter Cantwell hitting rookie David Gettis in the back of the end zone. It was the only TD by the reserves. “I thought it went good. I thought the guys had the right mindset,” coach John Fox said. “That’s the thing you’ve got to start preparing for. We missed a short yardage scrimmage last week due to some numbers at the running back position. So be it only six plays, it was our first test of live football. It turns it up a notch.” The Panthers are also expected to do some full contact in Saturday’s practice at Bank of America Stadium.

INJURIES CONTINUE TO MOUNT Cornerback Richard Marshall returned to practice Wednesday after missing five workouts over four days with back spasms. That still left 16 players side-

lined by the second workout, leading to odd lineups. “It’s more difficult on the guys in, because they get more reps,” Fox said. “In our case we’ve got a lot of youth and guys are holding up pretty good.” The complete list of players out: cornerback Chris Gamble (knee), receiver Steve Smith (hand), running back Jonathan Stewart (heel), right tackle Jeff Otah (knee), linebacker Thomas Davis (knee), safety Aaron Francisco (hamstring), receiver Trent Guy (hamstring), defensive tackle Nick Hayden (oblique), receiver Charly Martin (finger), defensive end Eric Moore (hamstring), linebacker Jordan Senn (shoulder), running back Tyrell Sutton (calf), defensive tackle Hilee Taylor (knee), tackle Garry Williams (shoulder) and running back Mike Goodson, who was in a walking boot because of a severely sprained left ankle. Fox announced after the second practice that Otah had arthroscopic surgery Wednesday on his left knee. Panthers left guard Travelle Wharton was given the second practice off to rest.

KICKOFF DECISION The Panthers are revisiting whether to hold a spot on the 53man roster for a kickoff specialist. That means punter Jason Baker will also kick off if Todd Carter doesn’t make it to Week 1. “Last year there were two teams in the league that had kickoff specialists: us and Dallas,” special teams coach Jeff Rodgers said. “And Dallas is trying to make (David) Buehler become a field goal guy as well. As it stands, we would be the only team if Todd were to make our roster. So it’s a little rare. “It’s more challenging, because when you have a guy that takes up a roster spot doing that, he’s got to be lights out doing it.”

Rodgers said Carter, who played at Grand Valley State, has “had some days where he’s been that guy.” But he also praised Baker, who kicked off earlier in his career. “I think he’s been better than what some people who have watched him would have thought,” Rodgers said. The Panthers brought in Rhys Lloyd late in the 2007 season and he led the league in touchbacks a year later while kicking off in place of aging placekicker John Kasay. Lloyd’s touchback numbers declined last season and the Panthers didn’t re-sign him.

MOORE ABOUT NOTHING Matt Moore continues to shrug off any talk about pressure after being named the starting QB. “Everybody keeps saying how things are changed and I keep coming up with some crazy answer. Nothing has really changed, to be honest with you,” Moore said after Wednesday’s first workout. “The one little thing is maybe my voice is heard a little bit more.” Still, Moore acknowledges there is more to do when you’re a starter, from the added work at practice to being more vocal. He said he’s focusing on talking to receivers after passing plays. “That’s something I hadn’t done in years past,” he said. “Throwing a ball or completing ball and talking to guys, finding out what’s on their mind and kind of getting it all worked out immediately. I like to get feedback right now.” But Moore remains the laid back Californian despite his increased responsibility since Jake Delhomme was released. “Being labeled a leader, that’s what you want,” Moore said. “But I think being a quarterback it comes kind of automatically. I’m just being me and hoping to lead the team.”

Reports say Favre will play if ankle is healthy MANKATO, Minn. (AP) – Brett Favre’s flip-flopping is at full throttle, the surest sign yet that training camp is under way in Minnesota. Vikings offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell and Favre’s agent, Bus Cook, said Wednesday that the veteran quarterback plans to return to the team if he is healthy. The 40-year-old Favre is still rehabbing his surgically repaired left ankle that he injured in the NFC

title game loss at New Orleans. “I know it’s a decision that he wrestles with,” Bevell said after a morning practice as Favre was throwing the ball around with high school students in Mississippi. “He’s a great player. He’s a great competitor. He mulls things over. He’s an emotional guy. So he thinks things through long and hard and takes his time with his decision. So I’m not surprised that things started to come out.”

A day earlier, Favre texted some teammates and Vikings officials to say that his ankle was not healing like he had hoped and that he planned to retire. Favre denied sending any such messages. Cook told The AP that Favre will visit surgeon Dr. James Andrews next week. “Everything seems to indicate that if he is healthy and can contribute and play at the level that he has become accustomed to, he will play,” Cook said.

WINSTON-SALEM – Based on his season so far at Bowman Gray Stadium, Burt Myers has every reason to feel that his NASCAR Southern Modified Tour effort will get a boost in its next event. Winless and a distant sixth in points, he hasn’t been a huge factor on the Tour this season. That’s not expected to be the case when the circuit visits Bowman Gray for a 199-lap event Saturday, considering Myers owns a season-leading five wins and leads Tim Brown by 61 points in the oval’s weekly Modified division. “I can’t wait to get to Bowman Gray Stadium this weekend,” Myers said. “You need to qualify up front but, last year showed you have to avoid any problems and have a little luck.” Myers was referring to which featured rookie Luke Fleming picked up the win after making his first career start. “When we had several incidents that took out a lot of cars, it put the race up for grabs,” Myers said. “We have had some luck this year and are running pretty well in the weekly shows. Hopefully we can bring that over to our Tour car.”

James Civali enters this weekend with a 24-point lead over former Tour champ L.W. Miller. While Miller has yet to win this year, he has finished second in three consecutive races to help get him in position to challenge for his second title. Myers is 111 points out with six races remaining. John Smith is one of the hottest drivers on the Tour. He is coming off his first career win at Caraway Speedway. Smith led a race-high 105 laps last year at Bowman Gray before mechanical problems ended his night early. Civali has won this season and Andy Seuss has also collected a win, while rookie Corey Lajoie won the season opener in Atlanta. Having so many different winners is good for the Tour, said Myers. “I think the Whelen Southern Modified Tour is as competitive as it has ever been,” said Myers. “I think last year’s results at Bowman Gray show that when you have a good car and a little luck, anything can happen.” The drivers arrive at Bowman Gray for practice and qualifying on Friday as part of a show that includes a 50-lap race for the track’s weekly Modifieds.

HPU spikers picked fourth ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

CHARLOTTE – Coastal Carolina’s volleyball team was chosen first in the Big South Conference’s annual preseason poll as voted by the league’s head volleyball coaches, while High Point University’s women picked up one first-place vote and landed fourth overall. The coaches also voted the Chanticleers’ Chelsy Kimes as the League’s preseason Player of the Year in results announced M o n d a y Hershkowitz by the Big South office. High Point senior libero Julie Hershkowitz also landed a spot on the preseason all-conference team. Hershkowitz became HPU’s all-time digs leader last year and was named to the all-conference second team. Coastal, under the direction of 12th-year head coach Kristen Bauer, was picked to win its secondstraight Big South title as it garnered four firstplace votes and 74 points. Liberty notched two top bids and 71 points in the voting. In third place was Winthrop with two No. 1 votes and 64 points. HPU landed in the fourth po-

sition as it collected 51 points in all. UNC Asheville took the fifth spot with 44 points, followed by Charleston Southern (36), Presbyterian (32), Gardner-Webb (20) and Radford (13). Kimes, a senior from Munster, Ind., was named the 2009 Big South Volleyball Championship MVP after guiding Coastal to its first Big South Championship since 1998. She led her squad with 483 kills and also was tops with 38 aces. She posted 28 doubledigit kill matches a season ago, including a string of 17-straight matches with more than 10 kills. Joining Kimes and Hershkowitz on the Preseason All-Big South team are Coastal’s Megan Bickford, Asheville’s Kelsey Benorden, Amanda Hill of Charleston Southern, Liberty’s Karyl Bacon and Winthrop’s Kaley Viola. The season begins Friday, Aug. 27, with nine matches scheduled, including High Point opening with a weekend tournament at the Millis Center featuring Appalachian State, UNC Wilmington and N.C. A&T. The Big South Conference Championship is slated for Nov. 18-20 at Winthrop. Jason Oliver will begin his second season leading HPU after guiding the squad to a 17-17 record.

Eagles owner: Vick mistake was in judgement only BETHLEHEM, Pa. (AP) – Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie said Michael Vick’s mistake in judgment shouldn’t be confused with any wrongdoing. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell told Vick on Tuesday he will not face disciplinary action following a shooting at the quarterback’s birthday party in late June. Lurie spoke to reporters Wednesday for the first time since that incident. Questions

about Vick dominated his annual state of the team address. “Nothing he did was factually creating any wrongdoing,” Lurie said. “He shouldn’t have been there, but he was trying to appease some people from his old neighborhood and family.” The NFL and the Eagles looked into a shooting at a nightclub in Virginia Beach, Va., where Vick held his 30th birthday party on June 25. Police said no charges will be filed because of a lack of cooperation by witnesses and

the victim, who Vick’s attorney Larry Woodward identified as Quanis Phillips – a co-defendant in Vick’s federal dogfighting case. “If there was wrongdoing, there was no way we were to continue with Michael in his career,” Lurie said. “There’s no question. It was just waiting for the facts to come in.” Vick called his conversation with Goodell “great” and said he’s relieved that he can now focus on football.

“I understand everything that I’m supposed to be doing and that I’m out here to do,” Vick said. When the Eagles signed Vick to a two-year contract last August after he finished an 18-month sentence in federal prison, he was told he has no margin for error. Vick was a model citizen off the field and in the locker room during his first season with the Eagles. He was popular among his teammates, who voted him winner of the

Ed Block Courage Award. “He’s been a great teammate, he’s been the single best player in the first year of employment by this organization in the community,” Lurie said. “I have to deal with the facts. When Michael had his birthday party, which was a mistake for him to be at, there were four independent investigations. If any of those four investigations turned up any wrongdoing, there would’ve been no tolerance to that.”

Service sector points to recovery NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Growth in the U.S. service sector picked up in July, according to a trade groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s survey, in a good sign for the overall economy and the job market. The Institute for Supply Management said Wednesday its servicesector index rose to 54.3 last month, up from 53.8 in June. Economists had expected a pullback to 53 for July. Levels above 50 signal growth. July was the seventh straight month of expansion. The index shows service companies have been expanding every month this year, but at a less robust pace than the manufacturing sector. They are more dependent on consumer

Indonesia considers BlackBerry ban JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Indonesia said Wednesday it is considering following the lead of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates in banning BlackBerry services, adding to pressure on device maker Research in Motion Ltd. to give governments greater access to data. Gatot Dewabroto, spokesman for the Ministry of Communication and Information, wants RIM to set up a server locally so encrypted information sent by the phones will not have to be routed through the Canadian companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overseas computers.

Germany concerned with Apple security BERLIN (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Several versions of Appleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch have potentially serious security problems, a German government agency said in an official warning Wednesday. Appleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s iOS operating system has â&#x20AC;&#x153;two critical weak points for which no patch exists,â&#x20AC;? the Federal Office for Information Security said. Opening a manipulated website or a PDF file could allow criminals to spy on passwords, planners, photos, text messages, e-mails and even listen in to phone conversations.

AOL posts huge loss on accounting charge SAN FRANCISCO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Internet company AOL Inc. reported a $1 billion-plus loss for the second quarter on Wednesday because of charges for a decline in its share price and the sale of properties such as social networking site Bebo and instant messaging service ICQ.

spending, which has grown only modestly because unemployment remains near 10 percent. The slow recovery in the service sector this year had put a damper on overall hiring, since it accounts for about 80 percent of U.S. employment. Service jobs include those in hospitals, shops, restaurants, airlines, banks and consulting firms. Julyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report suggested improvement. The index showed businesses reported that new orders, an indicator of future business, grew faster last month. A measure of hiring expectations also expanded in July for only the second time since December 2007, when

the recession began. It had ticked slightly over 50 in May before shrinking to 49.7 in June. The July reading was 50.9. At that level, the hiring index typically corresponds to monthly increases of nearly 100,000 private-sector jobs, said Capital Economics analyst Paul Ashworth. Economists expect that the economy lost 65,000 jobs in July because the federal government fired employees who had been hired temporarily as Census workers, according to a survey by Thomson Reuters. Privatesector payrolls would rise by about 100,000 in July, predicted Ryan Wang, an economist with HSBC, about the same pace of job growth from earlier this year, on average.

Time Warner earnings rise NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A rebound in advertising markets and strong box office results helped lift Time Warner Inc.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second quarter profit 7 percent, the media conglomerate said Wednesday. The results topped Wall Street estimates and the company raised its fullyear profit forecast. Time Warner shares rose 74 cents, or 2.3 percent, to $33.10 ahead of regular trading. The companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Time Inc. magazine unit and cable properties both saw ad revenue improve for the second quarter in a row, a sign that businesses are spending again to get customersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; attention. And a film slate that included â&#x20AC;&#x153;Clash of the Titansâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sex and the City 2â&#x20AC;? helped boost the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Warner Bros. studio. Time Warner reported net income of $562 million, or 49 cents per share, for the three months ended June 30. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up from $524 million, or 43 cents, a year ago. Removing one-time

items, earnings came to 50 cents per share, while analysts expected 45 cents, according to Thomson Reuters. Revenue climbed 8 percent to $6.38 billion, the biggest increase in two years. Analysts expected revenue of $6.2 billion. Revenue at Time Warnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cable stations, which include HBO, CNN and others, rose 11 percent, while the unitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s operating profit jumped 14 percent. Film entertainment revenue climbed 8 percent, with a 21 percent jump in operating profit. In publishing, which includes Time Inc. magazines such as People and Sports Illustrated, revenue was flat and cost cutting helped lift operating profit 50 percent. With more than half the year behind it, Time Warner said it expects its earnings per share will end the year up at least 20 percent from 2009. In May, the company had forecast growth on a percentage basis in the midteens.

Stocks rise on job growth NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Reassuring signs on employment and growth in the service industry got the stock market back on an upward trajectory Wednesday. Major indexes rose moderately after reports showed private sector hiring and services activity both grew more than expected in July. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 44 points. Investors were relieved that the two reports provided no signs that the economy might be headed back into recession, even though growth might be sluggish. Traders have grappled with earnings and economic reports at odds with each other in recent weeks that provide a mixed picture about the pace of the recovery. The latest batch of earnings were largely better than expected, continuing a trend that has been seen over the past four weeks. Broadcaster CBS Corp., video game maker Electronic Arts Inc., online travel site Priceline.com Inc. and Anadarko Petroleum Corp. all climbed. Whole Foods Market Inc. was one of the few to report disappointing results. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 44.05, or 0.4 percent, to 10,680.43. The Standard & Poorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 500 index rose 6.78, or 0.6 percent, to 1,127.24, while the Nasdaq composite index rose 20.05, or 0.9 percent, to 2,303.57. The Dowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rise Wednesday more than erased a 38point loss from a day earlier when reports on personal income and spending and factory orders fell short of expectations.
