Operations Center will interview sales, customer service representatives BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

JOB FAIRS SET

—

The Sears Operations Center at Oak Hollow Mall, which is separate from the Sears department store there, will hold a pair of job fairs this month for customer service and sales positions. The job fairs at the mall location will be 4-8 p.m. both Wednesday, Aug. 11, and Tuesday, Aug. 17. In lieu of phone calls, the company asks applicants to apply in person at the Sears Operations Center during the job fairs.

HIGH POINT – The Sears customer service operation is in a hiring mode and will hold a pair of job fairs this month to recruit applicants. The company moved its Sears Operations Center from southeast High Point to Oak Hollow Mall in December. The sales and customer service operation is separate from the Sears department store, which is one of Oak Hollow’s original anchor tenants dating from when the mall opened 15 years ago. The Sears Operations Center will interview applicants this month for about 40 jobs that will be filled during September, said Sharon Merriman, a company recruiter for the

High Point location. The Sears Operations Center has hired 61 workers this year, bringing its total to 357. The jobs are telephone call center sales and customer service positions. The local Sears Operations Center works with Sears customers from across the United States. The Sears Operations Center will hold job fairs from 4-8 p.m. both Wednesday, Aug. 11, and Tuesday, Aug. 17, at the facility, which is on the side of the mall next to the Courtyard by Marriott hotel. “We need to meet our business demands to provide service to our customers quickly and efficiently,” Merriman said. The Sears Operations Center, which has had fluctuations in its employment numbers over the

years, has consistently ranked as a top private employer in the city during its 20 years in High Point. High Point Economic Development Corp. President Loren Hill praised Sears for adding 100 jobs this year through its recent and upcoming hiring. “With the tough times our nation has recently faced, such job growth is very important for High Point and the Piedmont Triad region,” he said. The Sears Operations Center provided a boost to the mall when it relocated late in 2009. The facility filled an anchor space location that was formerly occupied by a Steve & Barry’s sports apparel outlet and a Goody’s department store.

Dr. McKay B. Crowley joined Cornerstone Inpatient Services, providing care for patients at High Point Regional Hospital. Prior to joining Cornerstone, Crowley served as a hospitalist at the Salisbury VA Medical Center. She is board- eligible by the American Board of Internal Medicine.

Stroll Uptowne’s sidewalks Saturday BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Following its mission to make the N. Main Street area a “destination for shopping, services and dining,” the Uptowne High Point Association will host its first summer sidewalk stroll on Saturday. The stroll will take place 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. with businesses in the area holding special sales. Some entertainment also will be provided along the street, and two inflatable bounce houses for children will be available at the north and south end of Uptowne, with one at the intersection of N. Main Street and Ray Avenue and one at the intersection of N.

What: Uptowne Summer Sidewalk Stroll When: 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday Where: N. Main Street between State Street and Ray Avenue Admission: Free, with some entertainment provided

Main Street and State Street. “We want people to come out and see Uptowne in a new way,” said Paul Siceloff, a member of the association and owner

of Main Street Square. “We’ve been antsy to do this for some time.” Siceloff said the stroll was organized by property owners and business owners in Uptowne. The group received a grant from the High Point Convention and Visitor’s Bureau to fund parts of the event, but it mostly has been organized by merchants in the area, he said. “We’re all doing this together,” he said. “We’ve been trying to think of things we can do that would bring attention and focus to this rich resource of a neighborhood that we have.” The stroll also falls in the middle of the state’s holiday sales tax weekend. It wasn’t planned that

way, but stores that sell applicable items will be suspending the 7.75 percent sales tax. The word “stroll” also is an important part of the event, said Wendy Fuscoe, executive director of the City Project that has citywide revitalization efforts under way. “‘Stroll’ is a key word because we want to work toward making this an area that is pedestrian friendly,” she said. “We want pedestrian traffic there. That’s something that will happen more in the future.” Siceloff said the association eventually hopes to hold about four sidewalk strolls a year. phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

Business owners to get license forms BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

THOMASVILLE – Business owners in Thomasville will begin receiving letters and applications this week informing them they may be required to get a permit to operate their business.

City Manager Kelly Craver said the information was mailed out Thursday to 905 businesses. The businesses may be required to purchase a permit from the city because the Thomasville City Council in April approved a business privilege license program. Businesses will have 30 days to

respond to the application, according to the city manager. Craver said the city plans to start issuing business licenses Oct. 1. He emphasized that business owners should not send money with their application. “They will do the applications,” Craver said. “We will review the

applications and then assess the fee and send an invoice. They do not need to send money at this time.” Under a fee schedule approved by the City Council, the annual business permits would vary. De-

Guilford County school officials to review sites list BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

SCHOOL DEAL

GUILFORD COUNTY – School districts leaders will review several sites for a new southeast area elementary school. While meeting with the Board of Commissioners, Board of Education Chairman Alan Duncan said Thursday that the school board will reconsider the sites favored by many residents for the new $25 million school. Commissioners sided with neighborhood residents July 22 and voted 5-3 against a 45-acre site at 1516 Stewart Mill Road the school board wants to buy. Commissioners and other school board members listened to Duncan and residents, but commissioners did not vote to reconsider their vote and the school board did not vote to drop the site on which it holds a purchase option until Oct. 31. “I want a win-win in this,” said Commissioners Chairman Skip Alston. Many residents favor two sites on Nelson Farm Road and

Values: The 45-acre site on Stewart Mill Road was listed at $1.5 million. The Board of Education has a school property budget of $1.2 million and negotiated a price of $907,000. The school is one of five new schools being built as part of the $457 million in school bonds approved by voters in May 2008. Location: The proposed site is less than 10 miles from crowded Alamance Elementary School. School officials plan to adjust school attendance lines after the new school is built. one on Southeast School Road over the former Terrapin Ridge housing site available from BB&T for $907,000.

far away from where students live. Linda Welborn, an association leader, said one property owner is interested in offering property at a reasonable price. “We’ll have another meeting on the sites,” Duncan said after acknowledging that the prices for other sites the board considered were “way outside of our budget.” Duncan reviewed for commissioners at least 10 of the 65 sites considered for the school. “Our choice is the best available site at the most reasonable price,” Duncan said. Many residents want the school built closer to the Southeast High School neighborhood even if it requires wells and a septic system rather than city water and sewer. Many of the sites would require the construction of septic sewer and wells, Duncan said. “Well and septic is an added cost,” Duncan said.

Thomasville police probe home invasions BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

THOMASVILLE – Detectives with the Thomasville Police Department are investigating a series of home invasions that have occurred in the last three weeks. “We don’t know if they are all related yet,” said Thomasville police Detective Lt. K.L. Sebastian. “They could be. It’s possible. With the descriptions and things, we don’t have it just yet.” At 6:05 p.m. July 18, police received a call of a home invasion on Burgin Street. A black male armed with a gun forced his way into the home, leaving with an unspecified amount of money, car keys and cell phones. Police described the man as 5 foot 8 inches tall to 5 foot

9 inches tall, with shoulder-length dreadlocks and wearing a white Tshirt and blue jeans. The suspect told the victims “he would kill them if they moved,” Sebastian said. At 10:48 p.m. July 21, officers were called to The Oaks Apartments at 11 Pine St. Police said two black males entered an apartment. One of the men fired a gun, but nobody was injured and nothing was taken from the home, according to police. Ezekiel Elijah Gamble, 17, of Salem Street, Thomasville, has been charged with armed robbery as a result of the home invasion at The Oaks Apartments, Sebastian said. The other suspect is at large. “(Gamble) was in jail when the last one happened,” Sebastian said.

“He has got a history.” At 11:09 p.m. July 23, police received a call of a home invasion on Kendall Street. Police said two black males knocked on the door, forcing residents to the floor at gunpoint. One of the residents was shot in the knee after he refused to give up money, according to police. The victim was treated and released from the hospital. The suspects took a video game system, keys and a cell phone. At 2:20 a.m. Aug. 3, officers were called to School Street. Police said two black males with handguns came into the home, took two cell phones and a set of keys. Two of the victims were hit in the head with a firearm. Because of the series of home invasions, Sebastian said residents

should keep their doors locked and not let anyone in their homes that they don’t know and recognize. She said residents should call 911 if they see anyone suspicious. “We are experiencing a similar problem that Greensboro is currently going through and dealing with,” Thomasville police Chief Jeff Insley said this week. “The one thing is that they are not dressing up as police officers and executing a search warrant. They are just walking up, banging on the door, going in and robbing them.” Anyone with information concerning the crimes should contact Thomasville police at 475-4260 or Sebastian at 475-4284. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

pending on the type of business, fees range from $2.50 to $50. Accountants, architects, attorneys, banks, dentists, insurance agents, real estate agents, surgeons and veterinarians are some who are exempt from having to buy permits. Craver said businesses were identified by research through the phone book, as well as records through the fire department. “We think we have identified a tremendous percentage of them, but the number is significantly higher than we anticipated,” the city manager said. “I think we anticipated about 600. We may find from the application process that a higher percentage of these may fall in the exempt category or they may not exist.” According to the city manager, the business permits are meant to create a database so Thomasville officials know the business activities that are going on in the city. City officials previously said the permits were needed to know what is

going on inside the business, such as illegal or other harmful activity. “There are a number of things that can be identified,” Craver said. “We may find folks who are operating a business that are not compliant with other state regulations. We may bring that to their attention.” Business permits “also gives us a good marketing tool for the chamber and for other people who may want to locate a business here,” Craver said. “They may find that there is a niche here that their business may be able to cover.” Craver said business owners who have any questions on whether the business license privilege program applies to them should contact the city’s planning department at 475-4255. Those who do not return applications will receive a visit from the city, and could be subject to civil penalties if they don’t comply, the city manager said. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

Brewery shuts down over odor complaints LATROBE, Pa. (AP) – A brewery is being blamed for a Pennsylvania town’s bad case of beer breath. City Brewing Co. has temporarily halted production at its plant in Latrobe after residents complained of a foul odor coming from the municipal sewage plant. Officials suspect sugary drinks

now being produced at the brewery are causing wastewater treatment problems. Municipal authority manager Tom Gray says the stench started about two weeks ago. The Department of Environmental Protection received complaints, prompting it to send an inspector out before the brewery

shut down Tuesday. Local and brewery officials are scheduled to discuss the problem Thursday. Plant manager Jerry Alvery says City Brewing wants to be a good neighbor. The Latrobe plant used to brew Rolling Rock beer. Now, Iron City beer is among the beverages it produces.

UN calls on Iraq to take steps to end sanctions

Train hits bus; 7 dead in Israel JERUSALEM (AP) – Seven members of one family, including a pregnant woman and two children, were killed when the minibus they were traveling in ignored traffic signals and crossed the tracks right into the path of a speeding train, rescue services said. No one on the train was hurt. The driver of the minibus was lightly injured and one other passenger was injured when the vehicle was hurled 20 yards from the tracks, rescue services said.

Council members have much business experience I was disappointed with the Aug. 1 article “Business-focused group aims to unseat incumbents.” Sanders Dallas III claimed that his personal slate of candidates “have vastly more business experience than the current members of the City Council.” This statement is blatantly false. The current City Council has at least four members that own small businesses. John Faircloth has been a managing partner at Coldwell Banker Triad for 16 years. Bill Bencini is a partner in Ultra-Mek, a manufacturer of furniture hardware and has been a managing partner for 27 years. Chris Whitley has owned a painting contractor business for 23 years and been president of another local business for 12 years. I have owned businesses in High Point for 30 years. We make payrolls and provide real benefits for many working families. The statement that Dallas’ personal slate of candidates has vastly more business experience is completely false.

She’s a tireless worker and extremely pro-business. It’s sad that just because Dallas is disgruntled with the leadership of High Point that he dismisses the hours sacrificed from our businesses and families to care for city concerns. Whether he likes the direction of High Point or not is a debatable issue, but to disparage the hard work of others is disrespectful and should give readers reason to question Dallas’ ultimate motives. LATIMER ALEXANDER High Point The writer is an at-large member of High Point City Council.

Proper research shows Christ is church’s foundation The Book of Psalms foretells of Christ as being the cornerstone, or rock, the church is built on (Psalms 118: 22, Luke 20:17,

Matthew 21:42). The myth that Peter is the rock started with Tertullian in the late second century. Not once did anyone in the Bible see Peter as the rock, or as having any authority over any apostle. Peter and Paul wrote under divine guidance that the rock the church was built on was Jesus Christ (Acts 2:8-11, 1 Peter 2:4-8, Ephesians. 2: 20). Augustine was one of the greatest fathers of the Catholic Church, who once claimed Peter to be the rock, but, later retracted his statement: “For, ‘Thou art Peter’ and not ‘Thou art the rock’ was said to him. But ‘the rock was Christ’ ” (The Fathers of the Church, Washington D.C., Catholic University, 1968, Saint Augustine, The Retractions Chapter 20.1). What about “Apostolic Succession?” It’s not found in the Bible. Catholic scholar Sullivan states: “We must conclude that the New Testament provides no basis for the notion that before the apostles died, they ordained one man for each of the churches they founded.” Was there a Bishop of Rome in the First Century?

The available evidence indicates that the church in Rome was led by a college of presbyters, rather than by a single bishop, for at least several decades of the second century (Sullivan F. A. From Apostles to Bishops: the development of the episcopacy in the early church. Newman Press, Mahwah (NJ), 2001, pg. 80,221222). The most controversial and contradictory writings that plague and darken the face of Christianity are those of so-called church fathers. It is therefore a mistake to view their mythical writings as if they had some sort of canonical authority. These men were not apostles or divinely inspired by God. BILL MOORE High Point

PS AND DOWNS” read a top of the front-page headline a week ago. The story published under that headline told you that “the commercial and industrial real estate sector is continuing to struggle this summer as residential real estate is exiting a year of improved sales.” Unfortunately, that headline pretty well sums up the state of the local economy. We have our ups, such as the announcement last Friday that Caterpillar Inc. biting on a $40 million package of economic sweeteners, will begin construction of a plant to provide parts for large mining machines with production to begin during the firsts quarter of 2012. That plant, to be built near the Dell Inc. site in southeastern Winston-Salem (less than five miles from High Point), is expected to employ about 300 full-time workers in five years at an average of $40,500 a year as well as another 120 contract workers. We have our downs, such as news Monday that 219 Thomas Built Buses employees face layoffs at month’s end and suspension of production at the bus manufacturing plant during separate weeks in August and September. Then came the news that food pantry shelves at Community Outreach of Archdale-Trinity are nearly empty and the agency temporarily has had to stop providing financial assistance, using that money to help restock its shelves. In addition to food (primarily peanut butter, jelly, canned fruits, canned meats, canned pasta, canned soup, cereals, dry beans, flower and sugar), COAT also needs clothing – mostly for children – at its thrift store. With The Salvation Army anticipating great need for school supplies for children whose families are struggling this year, kicking off its Stuff the Bus school supply drive this week, one can consider it both an up and a down. It’s a downer that more children are in need of donated school supplies this year. It’s also an upper that folks across the Triad are willing to help Stuff the Bus. Donations can be dropped at any Krispy Kreme or Mattress Firm location in the Triad. Basic school supplies such as notebooks, scissors, pens, pencils, binders, hand sanitizer and backpacks are needed. There may be signs of recovery in some parts of the country but locally we’re likely to experience economic ups and downs for the rest of the year.

The bottom line is politics R

umors of Congressional Democrats privately expressing disapproval of the Obama administration’s actions and policies have been given more credence by such things as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s public criticism of White House spokesman Robert Gibbs. But when two long-time Democratic pollsters, Patrick Caddell and Douglas Schoen, called President Obama “cynical” and “racially divisive,” that was a dramatic statement. It was like saying that the emperor has no clothes. A much more rhetorically subdued but nevertheless devastating implicit criticism of current government spending policies came from an even more unlikely source: the Congressional Budget Office, whose director is a Democrat. Without naming names or making political charges, the Congressional Budget Office last week issued a report titled “Federal Debt and the Risk of a Fiscal Crisis.” The report’s dry, measured words paint a painfully bleak picture of the long-run dangers from the current runaway government deficits. The CBO report points out that the national debt, which was 36 percent of the Gross Domestic Product three years ago, is now projected to be 62 percent of GDP at the end of fiscal year 2010 – and rising in future years. Tracing the history of the national debt back to the beginning of the country, the CBO finds that the national debt did not exceed 50 percent of GDP, even when the country was fighting the Civil War, the First World War or any other war except World War II. Moreover, a graph in the CBO report shows the national debt going down sharply after World War II, as the nation began paying off its wartime debts when the war was over. By contrast, our current national debt is still going up and may end up in “unfamiliar territory,” according to the CBO, reaching “unsustainable levels.” They spell out the economic consequences – and it is not a pretty picture. Although Barack Obama and members of his administration constantly talk about the so-called “stimulus” spending as creating a demand for goods that is in turn “creating jobs,” every dime they spend comes from somewhere else, which means that there

is less money to create jobs somewhere else. There is no reason to believe that all this runaway spending is creating jobs – on net balance. The fact that the unemployment rate remains stuck at nearly 10 percent belies the OPINION idea that great numbers of jobs are being created – again, on Thomas net balance. Sowell White House press Secre■■■ tary Robert Gibbs’ recent rant against Rush Limbaugh for criticizing the bailout of General Motors went on and on about how this bailout had saved “a million jobs.” But where does Gibbs think the bailout money came from? The Tooth Fairy? When you take money from the taxpayers and spend it to rescue the jobs of one set of workers – your union political supporters, in this case – what does that do to the demand for the jobs of other workers, whose products taxpayers would have bought with the money you took away from them? There is no net economic gain to the country from this, though there may well be political gains for the administration from having rescued their UAW supporters. As the Congressional Budget Office puts it, if the national debt continues to grow out of control, a “growing portion of people’s savings would go to purchase government debt rather than toward investments in productive capital goods such as factories and computers; that ’crowding out’ of investment would lead to lower output and incomes than would otherwise occur.” Just paying the interest on a growing national debt can require higher tax rates, which “would discourage work and saving and further reduce output,” according to the CBO. It would probably do no good to send Robert Gibbs – or Barack Obama, for that matter – a copy of the government’s own Congressional Budget Office report. Spending vast sums of money in politically strategic places helps the Obama administration politically, and that is obviously their bottom line.

Kagan confirmed for Supreme Court WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Elena Kagan survived her own confirmation mess. The lawyer and academic who once famously blasted the Supreme Court confirmation process as a charade emerged from it intact on Thursday, confirmed by the Senate as the 112th justice and the fourth woman in the courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history. President Barack Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nominee didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell senators much more than the justices she criticized in her 1995 law review article entitled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Confirmation Messes, Old and Newâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but it was enough for majority Democrats and a handful of moderate Republicans to back her.

Medicare fund will last extra 12 years â&#x20AC;&#x201C; maybe WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Medicare is in better shape because of President Barack Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sweeping health care overhaul and will stay afloat a dozen years longer than earlier projected, trustees forecast Thursday. But that depends on cuts in care that the systemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top analyst says are highly doubtful. The annual report by the trustees who oversee Medicare and Social Security, led by Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, gives backers of the new health care law evidence of a positive impact on government entitlement programs, but it also undercuts the findings with a host of caveats. In what amounted to a

dissenting opinion, top Medicare actuary Richard Foster warned that the reportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s financial projections â&#x20AC;&#x153;do not represent a reasonable expectationâ&#x20AC;? for the hospital fund for Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s elderly. Kathleen Sebelius, secretary of health and human services and one of the trustees, said they were required to assume current law in making their projections, including a cut in Medicare payments to doctors. She, too, doubted the cuts would ever happen, â&#x20AC;&#x153;which is why we continue to provide cautionary notesâ&#x20AC;? in the report. The trustees projected the Medicare Hospital trust fund would be exhausted in 2029, or 12 years later than estimated last year.

Back To School!

Every August and September in the United States, millions of kids return to their school studies. This time is commonly called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Back to School.â&#x20AC;? There are many different types of school programs beginning at this time, such as elementary school, middle school, and high school, and even colleges and universities. People of all ages attend school to learn many different things. Elementary school is for ages ďŹ ve to 10; middle school is for ages 11 to 13; and high school is for kids from 14 to 17 or 18, depending on their birthday. When you graduate from your grade school studies at the end of high school, it time to decide whether or not you will attend college. College is for any age group that has completed high school. Colleges and universities are schools where you can further your high school studies. Although colleges and universities are commonly referred to as one and the same, when you attend a small college you are usually there to obtain a two-year degree. This two- year degree may be an Associateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree, such as a teaching assistant degree. If you choose to attend a university, you will study for an additional four to ďŹ ve years after high school, and you will receive a Bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s or Masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree. Students at colleges and universities, instead of learning a little bit of information about many things, such as math, science, language, and history, learn a lot about a few speciďŹ c things. For example, if you want to become a history teacher, you would go to a university for four years and learn speciďŹ cally about history and how to teach it.

Contracting progresses on I-85 project

WHO’S NEWS

----

ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

DAVIDSON COUNTY – The N.C. Department of Transportation recently began advertising the contract for work along Interstate 85 in southern Davidson County tied into the upcoming replacement of the Yadkin River bridge. Bids already were awarded to general contractors for the replacement of the more than 50-year-old bridge at the Davidson-Rowan County line, with construction scheduled to begin this fall. The second phase of the project will involve work on 3.6 miles of the interstate and reconstructing interchanges in southern Davidson County, the DOT reports. The project is expected to cost $120 million to $130 million. It includes reconstructing and widening I-85 from north of N.C. 150 to just north of Interstate 85 Business Loop and reconstructing the interchange of I-85 at Belmont Road, the DOT reports. The DOT is advertising a design-build contract for the project. The approach allows companies who use teams of designers and contractors to simultaneously design and build a project to shorten the completion time. “The all-in-one approach helps the department avoid cost inflation and allows the contractor to make innovations that save taxpayer dollars,” according to the DOT. The DOT expects to narrow the number of teams vying for the contract in midSeptember and open the bids in January. It plans to award a contract by February, with construction scheduled to begin by early summer of next year. Design work currently is under way on the first phase of the project to replace the bridge and widen part of the interstate in northern Rowan County. In April, the DOT awarded a $136 million contract to Flatiron-Lane, a joint venture of Flatiron Constructors Inc. and Lane Construction Corp. Construction on the first phase is expected to begin by October.

Green fever

Event focuses on mortgages, tax credits BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – It seems everything is “going green” these days – including mortgages. Energy-efficient mortgages from banks, as well as Energy Star qualified tax credits from the state and federal government, are slowly gaining attention from potential homebuyers who missed out on the $8,000 homebuyer’s tax credit that expired in April, said Lisa Duke, a certified Ecobroker with Leap Realty. The real estate company is holding an open house from noon to 5 p.m. on Sunday to explain some of the mortgage opportunities. Loan officers will be on hand at the event, scheduled to be held at 2901 Derby Circle in High Point, to talk about the options with potential buyers. “These lenders will talk to people about why it’s such a good time to buy,” Duke said. “Interest rates are still low,

home prices are low, and these tax credits aren’t going to be around forever.” Tax credits are available for replacing items such as windows and heating and air conditioning units, but some lenders are allowing additional financing options in the form of energy-efficient mortgages to make these changes, said LuAnn Davis, a loan officer with W.R. Starkey Mortgage in Greensboro. Davis will be at the open house. “If you buy a pre-existing home that isn’t energy efficient, you can get an estimate on improvements needed to make it energy efficient and add that to your loan amount,” Davis said. “Energy efficient mortgages can also help in other areas.” For example, if a buyer is considering a home that already is Energy Star certified, the monthly savings in energy costs can be added to the buyer’s monthly income, potentially boosting their chances to

qualify for a better mortgage. “A green home is supposed to save 30 percent in energy costs,” Davis said. “Let’s say utilities are $100 a month at a regular house. An energy efficient home would save $30 a month in energy costs, which could be added to the potential buyer’s monthly income. In some cases, it has made a difference.” While energy-efficient products and homes can carry a heavier price tag, the savings can balance the extra costs in the long haul, Duke added. Leap Realty will be showcasing an Energy Star certified home at the open house and holding a one-day sale. “People have hunkered down a little after the (hombuyer’s) tax credit went away as far as getting out and buying,” Davis said. “There’s a lot of bad news out there, and there’s a lot of good news. It’s still a good time to buy.” phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

City, police hold community meetings BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

provide, but we want to foster a partnership with the community because there is a lot of things we can accomplish on a higher level of playing field if we have the support of the community.” Mills said the meeting is being held in the City Council chambers at the Thomasville Police Department because the area is large enough in case there is a large turnout. This will be the fourth community meeting since Chief Jeff Insley took office last year, Mills said. “I think anytime that you have something that brings the community and the police together, you have the development of partnerships,” he said. “You are able to accomplish more as far as getting out in the community and maybe working on an area that needs some type of citizen police intervention, where you have homes that are dilapidated or lots

that are overgrown or you have trash on the sides of the road or you have crime. “Winning the support of the community and letting them know that we are there for them gives us an extra avenue that we can work toward eliminating crime within their neighborhood.” Mills noted that the meetings have been successful. As a result of one meeting, a Doak Park Committee was launched because members of the community were upset about the activity going on at the park. “We met with the citizens down there and listened to their concerns,” he said. “It was not just a police intervention down there in the park, but it was citywide involving the trash, parks and recreation, police department and citizens. They were concerned about people being in the park

late at night consuming alcohol, individuals in the park for illegal reasons.” Because of the efforts in that community, the general appearance of the community approved and some of the complaints have been either eliminated or reduced, Mills said. Insley, Mills, District 2 Commander Lt. Donnie Rowe and officers assigned to the district will be in attendance at the meeting Monday night. “It’s a good crime tool,” Mills said of the meeting. “One of the things we are hoping to accomplish is that we are trying to revamp our neighborhood watch programs. We are trying to do things that reach out to the community, and we are trying to give the citizen the most bang for their taxpayer dollar.” dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

18 states endure deadly stretch of steamy weather JACKSON, Miss. (AP) – This heat wave isn’t just stifling – it’s deadly. Extreme temperatures continued Thursday across a large swath of the country, killing more than a dozen people, at least two police dogs and likely contributing to the death of Franklin the rhinoceros at a Mississippi zoo. Arkansas fire departments were volunteering to hose down overheated cattle, and people as far north as Maine were trying to stay cool. High school football teams and marching bands practiced indoors or canceled altogether. Tennessee election officials touted air-conditioned polling places as a way to bring in voters, and many cities set up cooling centers for those who needed a break from the sun. Residents were encouraged to check on their neighbors, especially the elderly. The scorching temperatures and high hu-

In Columbia, S.C., 33year-old Kylin Doster tried to stay under the shade of his umbrella stand as he hustled to serve up steaming hot dogs. He said he works from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Main Street, then sets up outside a biker bar north of town from 11 p.m. to 3 a.m. “It’s really, really hot now, but it even stays hot at night,” Doster said. “It don’t make any difference. It just stays hot.”

Ambulance swiped outside emergency room MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

WILSON – Ever wonder what it would feel like if you returned to your vehicle only to see it being driven away without you in it? That’s exactly what happened to a Wilson Emergency Medical Services crew Wednesday morning around 8. Alan Parnell, operations director with Wilson EMS, said Justin Parrish and Kim Campbell were delivering a patient to the emergency room at Wilson Medical Center when their ambulance was stolen by a discharged patient. Dantral Pope, 22, of 2303 Sutton Place, Apt. 100 was arrested and charged with felony larceny of a motor vehicle. He was placed in the Wilson County Jail under a $1,000 secured bond. As of Wednesday afternoon, he was still in custody. Ironically, the report-

Caterpillar expands Sanford plant SANFORD (AP) – A North Carolina factory that makes some of Caterpillar Inc.’s smallest machines will expand operations, adding 325 jobs within four years. North Carolina on Thursday offered the Peoria, Ill.-based heavyequipment manufacturer up to $4 million in tax refunds and grants to expand its Sanford factory. The Caterpillar plant builds tight-turning skid loaders widely used in landscaping and construction. In June, Lee County commissioners offered $900,000 in upfront spending for the corporate giant’s $25 million expansion. Last week, Caterpillar said it would build a new factory in Winston-Salem producing axle units for large mining equipment. City, county and state governments promised about $40 million to spur employment for about 500.

ed theft comes at a time when EMS is having difficulty keeping its ambulances on the road due to maintenance issues. Specifics about why Pope was at the emergency room were not available. “The crew had been on a call and was taking the patient into the ER,” Parnell said. “While they were inside, a discharged patient walked out and got into the truck. When Justin went to put the stretcher back into the truck, he saw it driving off and called 911 and his supervisor.” Parnell said it is normal procedure in the 22 years he has been with EMS for medics to leave the truck running while tending to patients. “We cannot take a chance of going to a call and not having the ambulance start,” Parnell said. “Even when they get to the ER they leave it running just in case they need easy access for the patient.

Annual standardized test scores improve across NC RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; More of North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public schools met or exceeded expectations on standardized tests compared to the year before, and fewer schools received the lowest-performing label, state education officials announced Thursday. The annual ABCs of Public Education report, based on results of end-of-grade and end-of-course tests taken in grades 3 through 12, show 88 percent of nearly 2,500 schools that were scored met academic growth goals for the 2009-10 year, compared with 81 percent in 2008-09. Test scores got a boost in part because results now include scores for students who retook end-ofcourse exams for high school classes because they failed the first time around, said Lou Fabrizio, the chief testing director for the Department of Public Instruction. A similar increase occurred when retest results were included for lower-grade tests for the first time a year ago. The ABCs program, which began in 1996, also historically has determined whether teachers at schools that are making progress on test scores would get bonuses. But that

cash hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been offered the last two years by the Legislature during the extended budget crisis. Education leaders praised the results and said they reflect an increasing percentage of students with passing grades on reading and math test scores since 2007, after higher standards were implemented. In a separate report Thursday, the public schools reported the number of ninth-graders graduating within five years is now near 75 percent, compared to around 70 percent three years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;North Carolina schools are making progress in the face of economic and resource challenges, and I am proud of our schools and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m proud of the work that goes on in the classrooms,â&#x20AC;? Superintendent of Public Instruction June Atkinson said at a news conference. The ABCs report said 931 schools, or more than 37 percent, received the highest honors, meaning at least 80 percent of students passed the tests and the schools reached growth expectations in the scores. A year ago, 627 schools reached those three highest achievement levels, or more than 25 percent. Only 16 schools were designated

FORT BRAGG (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A former brigade commander in the 82nd Airborne Division took over the famed North Carolina-based unit on Thursday. Maj. Gen. James L. Huggins took command of the division from Maj. Gen. Curtis Scaparrotti. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you had to build a soldier to command the 82nd Airborne Division, it would look like James Huggins. His unparalleled experience in peacetime and combat

will make for a seamless transition as the division prepares for the challenges ahead,â&#x20AC;? said Lt. Gen. Frank Helmick, commander of the 18th Airborne Corps and Fort Bragg. Huggins is no stranger to the 82nd. He has held several command positions in the division, including brigade commander for the 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment. He comes from Washington where he served as director of

Operations, Readiness and Mobilization for the Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am exceptionally happy to be back at Fort Bragg and Fayetteville, which I believe is the model for the U.S. Army in terms of what â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;rightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; looks like for a military and civilian community,â&#x20AC;? Huggins said. The 82nd has 20,000 paratroopers. Scaparrotti took command in October 2008.

Woman feels no barriers with pen pal behind bars

ear Abby: I have been writing to an inmate from the Florida prison system for about two years. It has slowly developed into more than a friendship. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mikeâ&#x20AC;? is a bornagain Christian, as am I. He doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get out until 2013 at the earliest, so we have plenty of time to see where this goes. Am I wrong for considering someone who is in prison? Mike has made mistakes, nothing violent, and has turned his life around. If he does become part of my life, how do I introduce him to my family so they may better accept him? Abby, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m 54. I lost my husband seven years ago. It is nice to have someone in my life again. We have talked on the phone, and it feels like we have known each other our whole lives. Am I crazy? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Smitten in New York Dear Smitten: Crazy? No. Gullible? Possibly. Please forgive me if I seem cynical, but more than one devout, vulnerable, lonely woman has been taken advantage of by an inmate with whom she corresponded. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why, before allowing yourself to become more emotionally involved, you should contact the warden of the prison and verify that what â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mikeâ&#x20AC;? has been telling you is the gospel truth. If it is â&#x20AC;&#x201C; fine. If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not, for your own sake, end the corre-

spondence immediately. P.S. As to how to introduce him to your ADVICE family, if it comes Dear to that, be Abby completely â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; honest and tell them heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your pen pal. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find out eventually anyway. Dear Abby: I am a vegan who is constantly pestered by uninvited comments like, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not getting the proper nutrition,â&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;That looks disgusting,â&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;You should just give it up.â&#x20AC;? I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t dream of making such rude comments to others about their diet. What one eats is his or her own business. My husband â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an omnivore â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and I have decided to raise our child vegan. He can choose whatever diet he prefers when he is older and educated about them. We work with a pediatric nutritionist to ensure that our son gets all the nutrients he needs. We make him pureed fresh vegetables, fruits, grains and more for almost every meal. We are now getting comments from family and friends who feel weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re practically abusing our son. I believe people make these comments because they are igno-

as â&#x20AC;&#x153;low performing,â&#x20AC;? compared with 75 a year ago. Those schools, where more than half of the students failed the tests and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t meet growth expectations, can get special assistance from the state. Four of the 16 are located in the Halifax County district, which is already under intense state scrutiny for poor student performance. The exams also serve as the basis for determining whether schools meet requirements under the federal No Child Left Behind law. Fifty-seven percent of the schools met all of the federal testing standards this year compared to 71 percent a year ago, the report said. Fabrizio said last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s retesting changes probably contributed to why fewer schools met federal expectations this year. Atkinson said more analysis is needed. The federal requirements are usually all-or-nothing. Missing just one of the benchmarks for a subgroup of students â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which 15 percent of all schools did â&#x20AC;&#x201C; can mean the school doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make â&#x20AC;&#x153;adequate yearly progress.â&#x20AC;? Schools that receive certain federal funds to help disadvantaged children and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t meet benchmarks two years in a row face sanctions.

rant about this lifestyle. I have asked them to stop, but they continue. What can I do to stop the unwarranted harassment? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Sick Of The Comments in Baltimore Dear Sick: Is your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pediatrician aware of the diet you have him on? Is your pediatric nutritionist a member of the American Dietetic Association? Have you told the individuals making these comments that you are working with a professional to be sure your little one is getting everything he needs? If the answer to my questions is yes and the questioners persist, refer them to your nutritionist for reassurance. Dear Abby: How do you mend a broken heart? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Tears On My Pillow Dear Tears: By staying busy. By avoiding the â&#x20AC;&#x153;old reminders,â&#x20AC;? which tend to make you moody and broody. By putting away or getting rid of the photographs, cards and gifts that make you sad â&#x20AC;&#x201C; unless you enjoy punishing yourself. And by staying in the present.

C-section not usually done for pain avoidance

ear Dr. Donohue: I am in the eighth month of my first pregnancy. I’ve a friend who keeps telling me to have a C-section. She says it’s quick and painless. I never considered this and wonder about its wisdom. What would you recommend? Does having a C-section mean all future deliveries have to be done the same way? – K.M.

BLONDIE

Cesarean sections can be lifesaving for the infant and for the mother. The reasons for having one don’t include speed of delivery simply for speed’s sake or for avoiding labor pain. You realize that a C-section involves surgical incisions, which, after the anesthesia wears off, are painful. And you realize that you have to recuperate from this operation as you would from any operation. Furthermore, all surgery involves potential dangers and complications. Serious bleeding is always possible. The uterus can become infected. Injuries to other pelvic organs can occur. Natural childbirth is painful, but the pain can be minimized in a number of effective ways. I believe you’ll be surprised at how tolerable childbirth is. As for future pregnancies, the standard

teaching used to be that once a woman had a Csection, all her future deliveries HEALTH had to be C-sections. Dr. Paul That’s Donohue no lon■■■ ger true. Second deliveries after a Csection can be vaginal deliveries, depending on some important circumstances. One of those is where the incision for the section was made. Have you discussed this with your doctor? Do so. I’ll be surprised if the doctor agrees to a C-section solely to avoid pain and speed delivery. Dear Dr. Donohue: My question is simple. Does using underarm deodorants cause facial wrinkles? – J.F. I know of no relationship between deodorants and facial wrinkles. Can the person who gave you this information explain why deodorants might cause wrinkling? Forget this. Dear Dr. Donohue: I am writing for the people who are kept awake by their partner’s snoring. They should go to the sports department at Walmart and ask for the

32-decibal soft earplugs. After 33 years of trying every solution printed, I can finally get peaceful sleep. – D.E. A wonderful idea. You’ve given thousands upon thousands of spouses a simple solution to a problem they’ve had to put up with for many years. I looked up this item at Walmart, but couldn’t find it. I did find custommolded earplugs and U.S. divers’ earplugs, but not the ones you mentioned. Maybe they aren’t in all stores throughout the country. I think these others would be a satisfactory substitute. Dear Dr. Donohue: All my friends have menstrual cycles that last 28 days. Mine don’t. They vary from 23 to 34 days. Is that normal? I feel fine. I am 23 and active. My periods are not painful. – J.F. The average menstrual cycle is one of 28 days. That’s only an average. The cycle can vary from 21 to 35 days and still be considered normal. DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible.

Vera McLaughlin once dated a man for four years without telling him she was covering bald patches on her head.

A growing problem

ANOTHER TOURNAMENT Kiwanis Club of High Point’s annual golf tournament will get under way with a noon cookout lunch followed by a shotgun start at 1 p.m. Oct. 29. Eric Olmedo, High Point Kiwanian editor, reports the tournament will be held at High Point Country Club, and proceeds benefit the Kiwanis Club of High Point Christmas Cheer Fund. Cost: $50 per golfer.

MONEY FOR MEALS Rotary Club of Furnitureland distributed $4,000 among nine organizations and presented $25,000 to Mobile Meals for the 2009-10 Rotary year. Phil Morris, editor of The Hub, reports that, over the years, the Furnitureland club has contributed $359,500 to Mobile Meals, according to Vivian Ruden, long-time former treasurer for Mobile Meals.

MARK YOUR CALENDAR Expect an increase in visitors to High Point in September, in addition to those here Sept. 19-20 for Pre-Market when the North Carolina Association of Rescue & EMS annual convention will draw 750 people to Showplace. And, just before the High Point Market (Oct. 16-21), some 1,000 visitors will be here for the NAACP 68th annual state convention. The two events will have a combined $875,000 economic impact.

NOW THAT HURTS According to a businessweek.com report on a U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics survey, North Carolina is the fourth-laziest state in the nation, trailing Louisiana, Mississippi and Arkansas. Survey results showed Tarheel residents spent 2 hours and 55 minutes on average watching TV, about the same amount of time on average working, 24 minutes on average relaxing and thinking and 8 hours and 34 minutes sleeping, the report said. www.thestate. com/2010/07/28/1392914/ study-were-too-lazy-watchway.html#ixzz0vfKAbBBR.

Disorder that triggers hair loss can be source of great embarrassment BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

ow self-conscious is Vera McLaughlin about the bald patches that cover most of her head? Well, not only does the 50-yearold Randleman woman refuse to go anywhere without a wig or hairpiece of some sort, she even managed to keep her baldness a secret from a man she dated longterm. “We dated four years, and I never told him,” McLaughlin says with a chuckle. “I never let

’For a lot of people, it’s their deepest, darkest secret, and they don’t want anybody to know.’ Dr. Zoe Draelos High Point dermatologist him see me without a scarf or a weave or a wig, and I never told him why.” That’s the magnitude of the stigma attached to alopecia areata, a disorder that causes hair loss on different parts of the body, but usually the scalp. McLaughlin was diagnosed with alopecia areata in 1997, when she noticed her hair coming out in clumps. “I’m very self-conscious about it,” she says. “I’ve only told close

For more information about alopecia areata, alopecia totalis and alopecia universalis, visit the website of the American Academy of Dermatology at www.aad.org. friends and family about it.” Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease in which the body thinks the hair does not belong, so it attacks the roots of the hair, says Dr. Zoe Draelos, a High Point dermatologist who treats a number of patients with the condition. “What happens in these people is that the hair starts to grow, but white blood cells attack the follicle and destroy the hair as it tries to grow, so they look like they’re bald,” Draelos says. Two other variations of the disorder are alopecia totalis, in which the condition affects the entire scalp, and alopecia universalis, which impacts the whole body. Alopecia made headlines this summer when Kayla Martell, a young woman who has the disease, won the Miss Delaware Pageant wearing a wig. The disease is not unique to women. Just ask Anthony Lynch, a 39-year-old High Point man whose scalp and facial hair have been affected by alopecia areata. “It makes me pretty selfconscious,” Lynch says. “I’ve always kept a pretty low haircut anyway, but once it was in my

mustache, that’s when it really became an issue.” Dermatologists typically treat alopecia with cortisones – either a cortisone cream or an injection into the affected area – which work for about 80 percent of those who use it, according to Draelos. “It takes several months of injections before the hair starts to come out of the scalp,” she says. “It’s working, but it takes a while for the hair to grow long enough to appreciate that there’s something happening there.” Draelos says the cause of alopecia is unknown, but there appears to be a genetic factor, and stress sometimes can contribute to the problem. The toughest part of alopecia for most patients, she says, is dealing with the social implications of the disease. “Many women think they’re socially unacceptable unless they have hair – it makes them feel like an outcast,” Draelos says. “For a lot of people, it’s their deepest, darkest secret, and they don’t want anybody to know. I think a lot of people feel like it’s out of their control, and they feel powerless. They don’t know what they did to deserve it, or what they can do to get rid of it. They almost feel like it’s a curse – they feel like they’re being punished for some reason.” She’s quick to add, however, that treatment is available, and most patients can resume happy, healthy lives. jtomlin@hpe.com | 888-3579

The Greensboro Coliseum Complex’s Pavilion will host The Carolina Weddings Show Aug. 15 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. “Today’s brides are careful consumers, especially in this economy.

Friday, August 6, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Vera Farmiga, 37; Geri Halliwell, 38; M. Night Shyamalan, 40; Michelle Yeoh, 48 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: The challenges faced will allow you to prove your ability, talent and desire to do something worthwhile. Your expertise will be recognized and a personal proposal will highlight your options. There will be plenty of room for change and advancement if you are on top of your game and ready to display what you have to offer. Your numbers are 4, 11, 23, 29, 32, 37, 41 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Avoid being pushed by a bully or someone wanting to take advantage of you. Use all your experience and skills to make last-minute changes that will positively influence the outcome of anything you pursue. It’s your own expectations that must be met. ★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You’ll know instinctively how to play the game when it comes to money ventures and putting your skills to the test. Someone you are interested in will pay attention to you, as well. Romance should be part of your plan. ★★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Set your goals high and sign up for challenges that will force you to stretch your abilities to the limit. Keep your emotions in check and refuse to let anyone play mind games with you. Set the stage for new beginnings and a better future. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t get dragged down with burdens that don’t belong to you. A sudden and untimely change to your status is likely but, in the end, it will be a blessing. Don’t hold onto something that is no longer to your benefit. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Branching out on a new venture or adding to something you already do will lead to greater income. Pick up skills and knowledge so you can move forward with confidence. A property investment will pay off. ★★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Keep business and pleasure separate. Don’t let your emotions take over, causing problems with your productivity. Pay attention to detail and finish what you start. ★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Put travel plans into play. You need to get away and devote time to a relationship you are in or, if single, find someone with common likes and dislikes. Staying at home will only lead to dissatisfaction and regret. ★★★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You’ll have personal decisions to make involving contracts, paperwork and money matters. Before you get too carried away, make sure you have the approval you need from someone your decisions will affect. Honesty will help you avoid an argument. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’ll be torn between what you should do, can do and want to do. Someone will oppose you and everything you stand for while someone else will stand in your corner. Speak up and make your choice. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’ll feel divided between two forces. Try not to let your emotions rule your decision. A practical approach is the only one that will bring you good results. You don’t have to do everything all at once. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Take into account what happened in the past and you will know what to do this time around. Personal and financial stability can be yours if you use your experience to guide you. Self-reliance and sticking to your plan will lead to victory. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Offer the ones you love something that will please. Put work on the back burner and focus on your personal life and your emotional well-being. ★★★★★

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

When I watched today’s deal in a money game, South was Joe Overberry, who plays every contract for the maximum, and many for the minimum. Joe’s approach – that it’s nobler to go down in pursuit of overtricks that to make his bid – drives his partners nuts. At four spades Joe took the ace of hearts and picked up the trumps with finesses. Next, with visions of an overtrick, he led a diamond to his king. West took the ace and led a club, and Joe put up dummy’s king. East won and returned a club, and West won and led a diamond. Joe finessed, and East’s jack won. Down one.

720 POINTS “You did it again,” North growled. “You chucked 720 points trying for a 30-point overtrick.” Joe was unmollified, of course. How would you have played? After South draws trumps, he cashes two more hearts and leads a club to the king. The defense takes two clubs but then must break the diamonds, guessing the jack for South, or concede a ruff-sluff. So South loses

only two clubs and a diamond.

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S K 8 4 H 10 9 8 D A 4 3 C Q 9 6 5. Your partner opens one diamond, you respond 1NT, he bids two clubs and you raise to three clubs. Partner next bids three spades. What do you say? ANSWER: Your partner is still interested in game and has tried to paint a picture of his distribution to let you evaluate your hand. All of your honors appear to fit well with his hand, hence jump to five clubs. Partner may hold A 5 3, 2, K Q 9 7 2, A J 10 7. North dealer Both sides vulnerable

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

Coaches soak up knowledge at seminar S

teve Johnson raved over the food offered during the CornerStone Health Care Foundation’s two-day sports medicine seminar. Then he fretted over what he learned during the panel discussion on nutrition. Athletes at High Point Central – and a number of other schools – may find some changes to this year’s pregame meals. “I’m glad a lot of people did it, but I think everybody should do this,” said Johnson, the longtime coach of various Bison teams. “I think it’s the most important thing I’ve been to in 25 years.” Representatives from 24 Triad-area schools attended the event earlier this week. About 40 men and women involved in athletics at the high school, middle school and elementary school levels soaked up the knowledge offered by physicians and trainers during a pair of five-hour sessions. High Point Central’s Kenny Carter pitched the idea for this first-ever seminar to CornerStone chief public affairs officer Page Redpath after attending a similar event through Randolph Hospital. Redpath said she was pleased with the response from area coaches and that the Foundation will look into conducting a similar event next summer. “Our foundation has a mission of outreach to the area schools. We do field trips for middle school students, the Camp Cornerstone program, and this was brand new,” Redpath said. “We feel really good about it, because we all want our kids who play sports to be safe. “We are very fortunate with CornerStone to have so many of our providers who have expertise in sports medicine,” Redpath continued. “It’s from the head to the foot, literally.” All of the health care providers who spoke fell under the CornerStone umbrella, with High Point University head athletic trainer Matt Schooler the lone outside voice. Those in attendance took part in specific discussions about shoulder, knee, ankle and foot injuries, facial trauma, first aid, sports concussions, and heat

illness. “The thing that was amazing was the quality people they had doing SPORTS this,” Johnson Steve said. “A Hanf bunch of ■■■ doctors, the High Point University trainer – I think Mrs. Redpath and Jennifer (LeBeau, a CornerStone executive assistant) did a great job of organizing this thing.” Johnson and Carter had no trouble relating to the topics. Johnson recently had both of his hips replaced and Carter tore his Achilles tendon last year while coaching the Bison girls basketball team. But while Carter found the presentation on foot and ankle injuries particularly interesting, he came away most impressed over the segment on diet and nutrition. “The nutritional part with the women’s panel – it needs to be mandated that all female athletes attend it. No doubt in my mind,” Carter offered. “I thought this was awesome. I’ve been across the state (to attend clinics) and this was topnotch. I think all coaches should be here.” In addition to the meals and a comfortable learning environment at CornerStone’s administrative offices at Providence Place, those in attendance from Guilford County Schools earned continuing education credits. Also in attendance were officials from a few area private schools, including Wesleyan Christian Academy athletic director Ricardo Viera and director of sports medicine Nip Pesayanavin. “It’s always important to get some different viewpoints on sports medicine modalities and how you can treat your athletes, give your coaches better information to make informed decisions,” Viera said. “Every speaker had something that had probably happened to a former athlete of yours or a focal area where you could improve on. Collectively, everything was great.” shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

Just out of reach San Francisco Giants left fielder Pat Burrell cannot reach a ball hit for a tworun home run by the Braves’ Alex Gonzalez in the second inning of Thursday night’s game at Turner Field in Atlanta. A fan (far right) held on for the catch. See baseball roundup on 3D.

Rice, Smith make quick sprint to Hall of Fame THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Jerry Rice was the 16th name called in the 1985 NFL draft. Emmitt Smith saw 16 players selected before he was taken in 1990. Their wait to make the Pro Football Hall of Fame was nowhere near as excruciating. On Saturday night, Rice and Smith will be inducted together in the Canton, Ohio shrine as the top receiver and top rusher in league history. They were slam-dunk choices back in February, having proven through so many years how unwise so many teams were for bypassing them. “There was no way I was going to be denied,” Rice said. “I kept working hard and my dream came true. I tell kids do not let any obstacles stand in your way. If you want to achieve something, go for

it. I’m living proof with my background and where I came from. I didn’t give up and I wanted to be the best football player I could possibly be in the NFL and I was able to accomplish that.” As was Smith. “I was always taught to try not to focus on what people are saying about you,” Smith said. “Obviously you hear it, and you can’t help but think about it to some degree. But it won’t affect how you approach the game.” Each of them won three Super Bowls and one MVP trophy from the title game. Joining them in the hall will be Detroit defensive back Dick LeBeau, who has been even more successful as a defensive coordinator, particularly in Pittsburgh; Washington guard Russ Grimm; New Orleans linebacker Rickey Jackson; Minnesota defensive tackle John Randle; and Denver running back Floyd Little.

Duke-Marquette matchup set for CBE Classic on Nov. 22 KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – National champion Duke will play Marquette and Kansas State will face Gonzaga in the semifinals of the CBE Classic. The schools will serve as hosts of the four regionals in the 12-team tournament. The semifinals will be Nov. 22 at Sprint Center with the championship game on Nov. 23. The other eight teams will play in

subregionals from Nov. 20-22. Miami (Ohio) will host Green Bay, IUPUI and San Diego State, while James Madison will host Bucknell, Presbyterian and Princeton. Each team will play three games in the subregionals. Texas beat Pittsburgh in last season’s championship game of the tournament which is sponsored by O’Reilly Auto Parts.

HIT AND RUN

he Braves are glad Tom Glavine chose Major League Baseball over the National Hockey League. Today in Atlanta, Glavine’s unlikely journey from youth hockey phenom to 305-game big-league winner leads to induction into the Braves Hall of Fame as well as retirement of his No. 47 Atlanta jersey prior to tonight’s game against San Francisco at Turner Field (7:30 p.m., Peach Tree TV). Both honors are well-deserved. Glavine, a 10-time All-Star, recorded 244 of his 305 career victories during 17 seasons with the Braves. He was a key cog in Atlanta’s run to 14 consecutive division titles – a feat unmatched in big-league annals. After

a five-year stint with the Mets from 2003-07, Glavine returned to Atlanta and retired as a Brave in 2008. The crafty southpaw earned a pair of Cy Young Awards and got the win when the Braves defeated the Indians 1-0 in Game 6 of the 1995 World Series to clinch their only world title in Atlanta. Glavine limited Cleveland to one hit in eight scoreless innings. Dave Justice’s homer in the bottom of the eighth lifted Glavine and the Braves to their most memorable triumph in Atlanta. Glavine will become the seventh Brave to have his number retired, joining Hank Aaron (44), Eddie Mathews (41), Dale Mur-

phy (3), Phil Niekro (35), Warren Spahn (21) and Greg Maddux (31). Glavine ranks 21st on the all-time wins list and fourth among left-handed pitchers, trailing only Spahn, Steve Carlton and Eddie Plank. The numbers speak for themselves – 305203 with a 3.54 ERA and 2,607 strikeouts. But the stats don’t define Glavine’s true greatness. His toughness, consistency and will to win do. Instead of scoring goals in the NHL, Glavine proved he had the puck – er, make that pluck – to become a baseball legend.

Rangers exit bankruptcy protection FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Yer’ out! The Texas Rangers exited federal bankruptcy protection on Thursday, about 14 hours after Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan’s group was awarded the team at a marathon auction showdown with billionaire Mark Cuban. U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Stacey Jernigan’s approval of the team’s reorganization plan clears the way for Major League Baseball to formally approve Ryan and sports attorney Chuck Greenberg as the team’s owners next week, before the group’s financing guarantee expires Aug. 12. The court-appointed restructuring officer and creditors had opposed the bankruptcy plan, filed in May as a way to push through the sale to the Greenberg-Ryan group. But on Thursday, they said they supported the revised plan, in part because the auction resulted in a higher price for the AL West-leading Rangers. Creditors will receive $75 million from the team in the bankruptcy plan, but the judge has said they can sue other entities of Hicks Sports Group, which defaulted on about $525 million in loans last year. Rangers’ owner Tom Hicks is co-owner of the Liverpool football club, which is for sale, but the London sports team is not part of Hicks Sports Group and is safe from creditors in the Rangers’ bankruptcy case.

Martinez rejects offers to return to majors NEW YORK (AP) — Pedro Martinez’s phone has been ringing during the last two weeks. Several major league teams — the threetime Cy Young Award winner won’t say which ones — called with offers to pitch. He was flattered by the invitations but turned them all down. “Very tempting,” he said Thursday during an interview with The Associated Press, “but I have already committed to my kids for the rest of the year and going on vacations, and made plans already with the family.” Martinez signed in July 2009 with Philadelphia, his fifth team in a big league career that began in 1992. He went 5-1 with a 3.63 ERA

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas and Notre Dame have agreed to a four-game series starting in 2015 that brings together two of the most successful and storied programs in college football. The Longhorns are scheduled to play in South Bend on Sept. 5, 2015. The Fighting Irish are slated to play in Austin on Sept. 3, 2016, and again on Aug. 31, 2019. The Longhorns return to South Bend on Sept. 12, 2020. Texas is No. 2 in NCAA history with 845 wins. Notre Dame is third with 837. They have played 10 times, with the Fighting Irish winning eight. The last time the Longhorns beat Notre Dame was in the 1970 Cotton Bowl. The victory capped off Texas’ national championship season. The Irish and Longhorns last played in 1996 at Austin.

Q. Which Houston Astros ace won the 1986 Cy Young Award?

in nine starts down the stretch and reached the World Series for the second time. But the 38-year-old righty has spent most of this summer in the Dominican Republic. Martinez compiled a 219-100 record and a 2.93 ERA in 18 seasons, won five ERA titles and three strikeout crowns.

Torre: Martin out for the season LOS ANGELES (AP) — Dodgers manager Joe Torre said Thursday that he expects catcher Russell Martin to miss the rest of the season because of a hip injury. Martin was injured Tuesday night trying to score against the San Diego Padres and was placed on the 15-day disabled list for the first time in five big league seasons. He has a labrum tear in his right hip. “It’s pretty safe to say he won’t be back,” Torre said. “He’ll be on crutches for three weeks, and it looks like it’s going to be the rest of the year.” The two-time All-Star, hitting .248 with five homers and 26 RBIs in 97 games, tried to score after tagging up on a flyball to center field after doubling home the Dodgers’ only runs in Tuesday’s 2-1 win. But he couldn’t beat the one-hop throw from Chris Denorfia and was tagged out by Nick Hundley after coming in standing up. Despite the injury, Martin caught five more innings before coming out of the game. In the meantime, the catching duties will be handled by rookie A.J. Ellis and 41-yearold Brad Ausmus, a three-time Gold Glove winner who caught Vicente Padilla’s two-hit shutout on Wednesday night.

Hinskeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s homer powers Braves THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ATLANTA â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Eric Hinske snapped an 0-for-17 hitless streak with a tiebreaking, sixth-inning home run off Tim Lincecum to help the Atlanta Braves to a 3-2 victory over the San Francisco Giants on Thursday night. Alex Gonzalez hit a two-run homer in the second inning â&#x20AC;&#x201C; his second as a Brave â&#x20AC;&#x201C; for the only other runs off Lincecum (11-5). Jair Jurrjens (4-4) went six innings for the Braves, allowing seven hits, two runs and three walks. He struck out three. Billy Wagner picked up his 26th save in 31 attempts with a scoreless ninth. Lincecum, who had won six of his seven previous starts against Atlanta, gave up six hits and three runs in 6 1-3 innings, walking three and striking out seven. The NL East-leading Braves, who have won three of four, own the best home record in the majors at 37-14. The Braves tied it in the second when Gonzalez hit a 1-2 pitch into the left field seats following a walk to Rick Ankiel. Hinske celebrated his 33rd birthday by hitting a 2-1 pitch over the right-center field fence for his ninth homer of the season. The Giants, whose 15-5 record since the All-Star break is the best in the majors, lost their second straight.

Bravesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Medlen placed on 15-day DL ATLANTA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Atlanta Braves pitcher Kris Medlen was placed on the 15-day DL on Thursday with a partially torn ulnar collateral ligament tear in his right elbow. The Braves recalled right-hander Cristhian Martinez from Triple-

A Gwinnett. Martinez was 4-1 with a 3.28 ERA at Gwinnett, including two starts. He pitched in seven games earlier in the season with Atlanta and had a 5.06 ERA in 102â &#x201E;3 innings. Medlen was 6-2 with a 3.68 ERA in 31 games, 14 starts.

PIRATES 5, ROCKIES 1 PITTSBURGH â&#x20AC;&#x201C; James McDonald pitched six shutout innings in his Pittsburgh debut and the Pirates sent the Colorado Rockies to their seventh consecutive road loss, 5-1 Thursday night. Five days after being acquired from the Los Angeles Dodgers along with a minor leaguer for closer Octavio Dotel, McDonald had eight strikeouts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as many as any Pirates starter had all season.

TWINS 8, RAYS 6 ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Jason Kubelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two-out popup clanked off a catwalk high above Tropicana Field and fell near the pitcherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mound for a go-ahead single in the ninth inning, a true dome run that sent the Minnesota Twins past the Tampa Bay Rays 8-6 Thursday. After the Rays scored six times in the eighth, capped by pinch-hitter Jason Bartlettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grand slam that made it 6-all, the Twins rallied in most unusual fashion. Minnesota put runners at the corners and Kubel lofted his pop. A pair of Tampa Bay infielders got in position to catch the ball, but it struck the highest metal catwalk â&#x20AC;&#x201C; about 190 feet over the field â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and changed direction. No Rays fielder could recover in time to catch the ball before it landed 15 feet behind the mound. By rule, the ball was in play. More than 100 balls have hit the four catwalks since the ballpark opened in 1998,

but only once before had one struck the highest â&#x20AC;&#x153;Aâ&#x20AC;? ring â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Carlos Pena did it against the Twins on May 31, 2009. The odd ball that fell fair helped drop the Rays out of a first-place tie with the idle New York Yankees in the AL East.

WHITE SOX 6, TIGERS 4 (11) DETROIT â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Mark Kotsay hit a two-run homer in the ninth inning, then lined a two-run triple in the 11th that sent the Chicago White Sox past the Detroit Tigers. Detroitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ryan Raburn hit a three-run homer with two outs in the ninth off Bobby Jenks that made it 4-all.

Johnson signs new deal with Texans HOUSTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Andre Johnson got the deal he wanted and says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s committed to playing for the Houston Texans for his entire career. The All-Pro receiver signed a two-year extension on Thursday that will keep him in Houston through the 2016 season. Neither the Texans nor Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agent, Kennard McGuire, would disclose terms. The Houston Chronicle and KRIV-TV reported that Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s extension had a maximum value of $38.5 million, including $13 million guaranteed. Johnson said he was satisfied. Johnson has led the league in receiving yards the past two seasons and topped 100 catches in three of the past four. He has the NFLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest receiving yards average (90.2 per game) since 2006. The 29-year-old Johnson had five years left on his old contract, but told McNair and Smith earlier this year that he wanted a new deal. The soft-spoken receiver caused a stir when he skipped three voluntary workouts in May and brought his desire for a new contract to light.

Watson opens with 64; Tiger struggles at Firestone AKRON, Ohio (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Bubba Watson sure didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play as though it was his first time to Firestone. Tiger Woods looked as though he had never seen it before. Watson made his debut in the Bridgestone Invitational on Thursday by running off four straight birdies on the back nine and making a long putt on the final hole for a 6-under 64 and a two-shot lead over a group that included Masters champion Phil Mickelson and

The worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s No. 1 player looked that way at times. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just because I like the golf course doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to play well on it,â&#x20AC;? Woods said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You still have to execute, and I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do that.â&#x20AC;? Two drives into the trees. Two shots to get out of a bunker. Putts that really didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t scare the hole. When he rolled in an 8foot birdie putt on the 17th hole, he turned in two directions and bowed to the gallery. Woods has never finished low-

U.S. Open champion Graeme McDowell. The shocker was Woods. On the course where he has won a PGA Tour record seven times, Woods opened with bogeys on the two easiest holes at Firestone and wound up with his highest score ever on the South Course, a 4-over 74 that put him 10 shots behind. If that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bad enough, a fan said to Woods on his way to the scoring trailer, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re washed up, Tiger. Give it up.â&#x20AC;?

Broncosâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Dumervil could miss five months ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Denver Broncos pass rusher Elvis Dumervilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s season might be sacked by a torn chest muscle. A person familiar with the injury to Dumervil told The Associated Press on Thursday that the reigning NFL sacks king could be sidelined for up to five months, making it difficult for Dumervil to return this season. The

We Want To Be Your Outsourced IT Department

person spoke on the condition of anonymity. Coach Josh McDaniels said the team is evaluating courses of treatment for the pass rusher and there is no timetable for his return. Surgery hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been ruled out, either. Dumervil was hurt at practice Wednesday night in a 1-on-1 passing drill, and walked off the field clutching his right arm.

Panthersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Schwartz ready to fill in at right tackle SPARTANBURG, S.C. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Geoff Schwartz came into camp thinking heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d compete for Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s open right guard spot. Jeff Otahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lingering left knee injury has led to a change of plans. Schwartz opened training camp as the Panthersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first-team right tackle, and figures to stay there for most, if not all, of the preseason after Otah underwent arthroscopic surgery on Wednesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m comfortable at tackle so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all right with me,â&#x20AC;? Schwartz said Thursday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But that right guard will still be open, at least for right now. When Otah gets back then Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get a chance to compete for it. But right now my spot is right tackle and I like it.â&#x20AC;? Schwartz, a seventhround pick in 2008 from Oregon, spent his rookie season on the practice squad in what he called a â&#x20AC;&#x153;redshirt yearâ&#x20AC;? to get used to the NFL. He played primarily on special teams last season before Otah suffered torn cartilage in his knee. The 6-foot-6, 331-pound Schwartz started the final three games, helping Jonathan Stewart rush for 206 yards against the New York Giants in Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 3-0 finish. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been able to kind of carry in my confidence from the end of last season into camp,â&#x20AC;? Schwartz said. Still, he said he had â&#x20AC;&#x153;no ideaâ&#x20AC;? Otah was experiencing continued discomfort in his knee and was expecting to split time with Mackenzy Bernadeau and Duke Robinson at right guard and work on the second team at tackle behind Otah in camp. The Panthers hope Otah will be ready for the regular-season opener, which could put Schwartz back in the mix at right guard â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or too far behind to win the starting job there. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not really worried about that,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get the chance when I get my chance. If Otah is out right now then my job is to play tackle and do the best I can.â&#x20AC;?

er than fifth on this golf course. He had never shot higher than 72 in his 44 previous rounds at Firestone. And he had nine consecutive rounds at par or better until Thursday. McDowell finished with four straight birdies for a 66. Mickelson was trying to keep his momentum with a par toward the end of his round when he hit a flop shot that dropped in for birdie on the sixth, and then he added two birdies on his last three holes.

Mortgage rates hit four-decade low WASHINGTON (AP) — Mortgage rates dropped to the lowest level in decades for the sixth time in seven weeks, offering the most attractive opportunity for those who qualify to refinance or purchase a home. Government-controlled mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said Thursday that the average rate for 30year fixed loans this week was 4.49 percent, down from 4.54 percent last week. That’s the lowest since Freddie Mac began tracking rates in 1971. The average rate on the 15-year fixed loan dropped to 3.95 percent, down from 4 percent last week and the lowest on record. Rates have fallen since

DirecTV 2nd quarter profit rises 33% NEW YORK (AP) — DirecTV Inc. on Thursday said secondquarter profit rose by 33 percent as the satellite TV company attracted customers from its U.S. cable rivals and Latin American operations took off in part due to the World Cup fervor. The nation’s largest satellite TV provider said it added 100,000 net U.S. subscribers in the quarter.

Cablevision hit with hefty quarterly loss PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Cablevision Systems Corp. said Thursday said its second-quarter profit fell sharply as a hefty loss related to paying down debt helped offset revenue gains as more people signed up for its video, Internet and phone services. But the New York regional cable TV company otherwise saw a strong performance across the board, adding video subscribers in the quarter unlike other major cable operators.

Holder challenges fees in Tyco suit DOVER, Del.

spring as investors seek the safety of U.S. Treasury bonds. That has lowered the yield on Treasurys. Mortgage rates tend to track those yields. The last time home loan rates were lower was during the 1950s, when most mortgages lasted just 20 or 25 years. Low rates have sparked some activity in the weak housing market, but not a massive boom in refinancing. Applications to refinance loans increased 1.3 percent and those to purchase homes increased 1.5 percent, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association. Nevertheless, high unemployment, slow job growth and tight credit

have made it difficult for many to purchase homes. The housing industry received a boost this spring when the government offered homebuying tax credits, but housing activity has plummeted since they expired in April. The number of buyers who signed contracts to purchase homes plunged in June to the lowest level on records dating back to 2001, according to the National Association of Realtors. To calculate the national average, Freddie Mac collects mortgage rates on Monday through Wednesday of each week from lenders around the country. Rates often fluctuate significantly, even within a given day.

Retailers see modest gains NEW YORK (AP) — Deep discounts on summer leftovers and hot weather drove shoppers into malls in July, but they remained choosy, resulting in only modest gains. The sluggish spending raises worries about the health of the back-toschool season as Americans step up saving amid a stalling economic recovery. Already, retailers like teen specialists Abercrombie & Fitch Co. and American Eagle Outfitters Inc. are offering generous discounts on new jeans to lure shoppers in the heat wave that hasn’t let up since June. As stores reported their results Thursday, there were some clear winners. Costco Wholesale Corp. and Victoria’s Secret parent Limited Brands Inc.

had robust gains. Macy’s Inc. posted a strong increase, and the CEO said that the back-to-school business was off to a “great” start, helped by its newly launched Material Girl fashion collection created by pop star Madonna and her 13-year-old daughter, Lourdes. Still, those figures are being compared with dismal spending in July 2009. And a majority of the stores reporting results came in below Wall Street projections, according to Thomson Reuters. Teen clothing stores were among the hardest hit, with The Buckle Inc. and The Wet Seal Inc. suffering declines. The figures are based on revenue at stores opened at least a year and are considered a key indicator of a retailers’ health.

Senate OKs higher home loan fees WASHINGTON (AP) — Higher monthly fees are coming for consumers who take out home loans guaranteed by the Federal Housing Administration, the primary source of mortgages for first-time homebuyers. The Senate late Wednesday unanimously approved legislation giving the FHA the power to hike monthly premiums it charges to consumers. The measure now goes to President Barack Obama, who is expected to sign it. The new law would affect new loans and not ones that already have been made. Officials say the agency

needs the authority to stabilize its finances, which have deteriorated because of the foreclosure crisis. The fees are projected to bring in an extra $3.6 billion per year, according to the FHA. The agency does not make loans, but offers insurance against default. People who take out FHA-backed loans pay a smaller down payment, as low as 3.5 percent of the home price. But they are subject to two additional fees — one at the start of the loan and an annual fee. Both fees are typically spread out in monthly installments over the life of the loan.

Stocks fall on jobless claims NEW YORK (AP) — A surprisingly poor signal on the jobs market sent stocks slightly lower Thursday as investors remained worried about a lack of hiring. The modest drop came after the Labor Department said first-time claims for unemployment benefits rose unexpectedly last week. Investors tried to muster a late-day rally, but there wasn’t enough momentum to push the Dow Jones industrial average back into positive territory. The Dow closed down 5 points after dropping as much as 68 points earlier in the day. Broader indexes also fell modestly. Trading volume on the New York Stock Exchange fell to its second-lowest level of the year as many traders avoid the market altogether. The Labor Department said initial claims for unemployment benefits jumped to 479,000 last week from a 460,000 a week earlier. Economists polled by Thomson Reuters had forecast new claims would fall modestly. The high unemployment rate in the U.S. remains one of the biggest worries for investors. The surprise jump in claims suggests employers are still reluctant to create jobs, which could keep a damper on economic growth. The Dow fell 5.45, or 0.1 percent, to 10,674.98. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell 1.43, or 0.1 percent, to 1,125.81, while the Nasdaq composite index fell 10.51, or 0.5 percent.

Michaele Salahi: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Viewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; appearance degrading NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A lawyer for accused White House gatecrasher Michaele Salahi (mih-KELâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sahLAHâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;-heez) says producers of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Viewâ&#x20AC;? turned on the applause light for the audience when the showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sherri Shepherd told Salahi that â&#x20AC;&#x153;you should be in jail.â&#x20AC;? Lawyer Lisa Bloom says her clientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appearance Wednesday on ABCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Viewâ&#x20AC;? was â&#x20AC;&#x153;degrading and demeaning.â&#x20AC;? It was further fallout from the backstage shouting match between Salahi and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Viewâ&#x20AC;? co-host Whoopi Goldberg that erupted after the show. Goldberg came on the set during Salahiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appearance to urge her to talk more about the night she and her husband crashed President Barack Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s state dinner last fall.

Gunman in workplace shooting claimed racism in call HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The man who went on a shooting rampage at a beer distributor calmly told a 911 operator that it was â&#x20AC;&#x153;a racist placeâ&#x20AC;? and that he had taken matters into his own hands and â&#x20AC;&#x153;handled the problem.â&#x20AC;? Omar Thornton, 34, called 911 after shooting 10 co-workers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; eight fatally â&#x20AC;&#x201C; on Tuesday morning at Hartford Distributors. He introduced himself as â&#x20AC;&#x153;the shooter over in Manchesterâ&#x20AC;? and said he was hiding in the building, but

would not say where. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You probably want to know the reason why I shot this place up,â&#x20AC;? he said, his voice steady. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This place is a racist place. They treat me bad over here. They treat all the black employees bad over here, too. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So I took things into my own hands and handled the problem,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wish I got more of the people.â&#x20AC;?

and union officials rebutted suggestions that the company had ignored Thorntonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s complaints of racism. Thornton went on his rampage moments after he was forced to resign when confronted with videotaped evidence that he had been stealing beer and selling it. His relatives and girlfriend had suggested his anger was fueled by racial bias in the workplace, but the 911 call confirmed Thornton believed he was avenging racist treatment.
