Consumers say program needed more than ever. 1B BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – For some shoppers, there were a lot of reasons to flock to the stores on Friday. Taking advantage of the beginning of the state’s three-day sales tax holiday was one of them. Beating the crowds that retailers expect to see today, usually the busiest of the three days, was another perk. “I took half a day off of work for this and so we could beat the crowds,” said Janie Blackwell, who shopped for clothes with

ABCs report shows progress for local schools BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – The latest ABCs of Public Education report shows a measure of success for several High Point-area schools. As expected, all 10 low-performing schools in the Guilford County district moved off the state’s lowperforming list, but one school, Union Hill Elementary, was added. Local schools dropped from the list based on 2010 state test scores were Montlieu Elementary, Fairview Elementary, Oak Hill Elementary, Parkview Elementary and T. Wingate Andrews High School. The district has the fewest lowperforming schools since the 2003-04 school year, the last year it had none. Overall, 91.4 percent of district schools made expected or high growth in student academic achievement during the 2009-10 school year, up from 75.4 percent in 2008-09. With-

in the district, about 57 percent of schools made high growth, including the former 10 low-performers. “The growth seen across our schools is directly related to the hard work of our teachers, principals and support staff,” Superintendent Mo Green said this week. “These results are even more significant given the great diversity of students we serve.” To calculate the ABC scores, the state uses end-of-grade and end-ofcourse exam results and the federal Adequate Yearly Progress scores, which measure academic achievement of student demographic groups to form the scores. The average ABCs performance composite for GCS was up to 70.1 percent compared to 60 percent in 2008 and 66.5 percent in 2009. The exams also form the basis for determining success under the federal No Child Left Behind law. “The results show that when we place high expectations on our stu-

Statewide, nearly 40 percent of the public schools are in the top three tiers of performance.

Distinction: GCS had an increase in the number of Schools of Distinction from 17 last year to 22, including Southwest Elementary, the Middle College at Guilford Technical Community College, Jamestown and Southwest Middle School. These schools had 80-89 percent of students score at or above grade level on EOGs and EOCs. Statewide, 37 percent of schools qualified. Low Performing: Union Hill Elementary. Statewide only 16 schools were designated compared with 75 a year ago. Schools where more than half of the students failed state tests and didn’t meet growth expectations can get special assistance from the state. dents, they will respond by making significant improvements to their academic performance,” Green said. “We have much to celebrate with these results and much to look forward to with the new school year.” Statewide, 88 percent of nearly 2,500 schools that were scored met academic growth goals for the 2009-

Complaints lead to loss of club’s ABC permits HIGH POINT – State officials suspended the alcoholic beverage permits of a southwest High Point nightclub after a range of complaints about violent incidents and disturbances in and around the establishment. The N.C. Alcoholic Beverage Control Commission issued an immediate, summary suspension of permits for the Cristal Nite Club at 509 Ennis St. near the intersection of W. Ward Ave. It’s the first time in two years that ABC officials issued a summary suspension against a permit holder in High Point. ABC officials said Friday that they pulled the establishment’s permits at the request of the High Point Police Department because the club posed threats to the public. In addition to a shooting and reported robbery in the immediate vicinity of the club this summer, the establishment in the

leigh about revoking a license,” the chief said. The most serious reported incidents took place this summer related to Cristal Nite Club’s permit suspension. A shooting near the club June 12 left a victim suffering injuries from 12 gunshot exit and entrance wounds, according to an affidavit from an alcoholic beverage investigator for the High Point police. “A bag of what is believed to be cocaine HCL was found on the ground near the shooting,” the affidavit from the officer states. The victim and shooting suspect were in the club the evening of the incident, the officer stated. On July 24, a shooting and reported robbery took place on the club property, the officer testified. “... The victim, who was pistol-whipped, was so intoxicated that he was unable to properly communicate with High Point police,” the affidavit states. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

Senate confirms NC judge to federal appeals court RALEIGH (AP) – A North Carolina judge nominated for promotion more than a decade ago has finally been cleared to join the federal court one step below the U.S. Supreme Court. Judge James Wynn Jr. was confirmed by the U.S. Senate to a seat on the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The court in Richmond, Va., covers North Carolina, South Carolina, Mary-

land, Virginia and West Virginia. President Barack Obama nominated Wynn last fall. He was first nominated by President Bill Clinton in 1999 but was never confirmed. Wynn currently sits on the North Carolina Court of Appeals. Wynn was nominated to the federal appeals court with Charlotte Judge Albert Diaz. Diaz was not confirmed by the Senate with Wynn late Thursday.

Report: NC psychiatric patients wait days for help RALEIGH (AP) – Patients needing treatment at psychiatric hospitals are waiting for nearly three days on average in emergency rooms and crisis centers across North Carolina, according to a report released Friday. The Wake County chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness analyzed figures from the state’s four public psychiatric hospitals during the first six months of 2010. The group found that 3,339 people were put on wait lists for admission to one of the state hospitals from January through June, with 86 percent of those patients waiting in emergency rooms or crisis centers in general admission hospitals. “Hospital emergency departments are in a very difficult spot,” said Ann Akland, chairwoman of the Wake

County group’s advocacy division. “They don’t have the resources to treat these patients. Some of them don’t even have a psychiatrist on call.” The average wait for patients needing psychiatric care was 2.6 days, compared to an average wait time of less than five hours for all emergency room patients. Some psychiatric patients waited much longer, including 212 who were in emergency rooms for seven days or more. Ultimately, 912 patients went home from the emergency departments after an average stay of 44 hours, either because their condition improved enough for discharge or because they simply got tired of waiting, the report says. The result of the long wait times,

according to the report, is patients with mental illnesses are often simply restrained, whether by Velcro or leather straps or medication, rather than being promptly treated. The group says the problem lies with the state’s decision, starting in 2001, to reduce the number of beds in state hospitals available to psychiatric patients. That reduction was supposed to be offset by a growth in community-based services like day programs, home visits from mental health professionals and group homes, which the Wake group says never materialized. “Those were the good things that were supposed to come from reform, but there just aren’t enough resources in the community to keep people out of the hospital,” Akland said.

Two men held in Triad holdup spree MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

WINSTON-SALEM – Two Winston-Salem men were arrested this week in connection with a string of armed robberies and attempted robberies, and police said that more charges could come in the next few days. Louie Lamonte Cozart, 35, of 9 Inverness St., and Christopher Antonio Kelly, 23, of 3065 Apollo Drive, were each charged with one count of robbery with a dangerous weapon and two counts of kidnapping. Kelly is also facing charges in connection with a robbery in Kernersville and one in Greensboro.

“Since so many robberies happened in such a short period of time, in order for it to come this far, it has taken extraordinary teamwork,” said Capt. David Clayton of the Winston-Salem Police Department, who oversees the department’s criminal-investigation division. Ten armed robberies or attempted robberies occurred in the city limits since July 28. Police charged Cozart and Kelly in connection with a robbery at the T&G Express Food Mart on South Main Street on Monday. According to police reports, two men armed with handguns entered the store and stole cash and wallets. Cozart and Kelly have a his-

tory of criminal convictions, including robbery and drug-related charges. They are being held with no bond allowed because of parole violations, police said. Their court date has not been set. Police said it wasn’t clear how many of the recent armed robberies were connected but that at least some likely are. “We do think there are certain ones that are connected, but which ones is still too early to say,” Clayton said. Kelly was also charged yesterday in a robbery at the Denny’s restaurant on South Main Street in Kernersville on July 21. A man fired a handgun at a wall and demanded money.

Blackwell and Janet Harrison, the crowds that the sales tax holiday draws to stores also can be viewed as a drawback. “I just came to shop today, not because of the tax free weekend,” said Harrison while waiting with her granddaughter in a check-out line at Sears. “To tell you the truth, because of the crowds, sometimes I think I’d rather pay the sales tax.” “I’m glad I came out today,” said Rochelle Joyner of High Point, who shopped with her daughter, Ashley, at Kmart on Friday. “Last year it was real crowded (during the weekend). I was afraid to see what it would look like in the stores, but it hasn’t been bad. I’ll end up buying a few things today.” Still, for others shoppers, it’s all about the savings. “I’m just happy to save a little money this weekend,” said Laurie Overman, a shopper in Sears. “I have one boy and one girl. We save quite a bit during tax free weekend. We buy supplies, clothes and sporting equipment. It definitely helps us out.”

Flash floods kill 103 in Kashmir SRINAGAR, India (AP) – A cloudburst followed by flash floods hit a Himalayan desert region in Indian-controlled Kashmir, sending rivers of mud down mountainsides and killing at least 103 people Friday, officials said. Nearly 2,000 foreign tourists were in the remote region of Ladakh, a popular destination for adventure sports enthusiasts, at the time, said a tourism department official in Srinagar. There were no immediate reports of any foreigners being killed or injured in the floods that started around midnight, said the official who spoke on condition

of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media. An army spokesman said 100 foreign tourists, mostly Europeans, had been rescued. At least 370 people were injured, as gushing waters swept away houses, cars and buses in a 60-square mile swath in and around Leh, the main town in Ladakh. The thunderstorm followed by heavy downpours triggered floods and mudslides in many places early Friday, burying houses and toppling power and telecommunication towers, said state police chief Kuldeep Khoda.

Fear not; it’s just start of a more diverse America In a Your View poll, the Enterprise asked when people’s preoccupation with race would be a thing of the past. A few days ago a patron wrote about Leonard Pitt’s article on Shirley Sherrod. It is obvious to me, being a person of color other than white, the racial undertones in her letter. I was waiting to read the old familiar line that some of my best friends are “colored.” An old saying is walk a mile in my shoes to know what my walk is all about. In Your View, the patron spoke of the various organizations associated with being black and substituting white. He doesn’t take into consideration all the organizations that are white, CBS, NBC, and I’m sure we can’t forget Fox News. Since the election of President Obama, the underlying racial bigotry has risen to the top. Before it was subtle and kinda hidden, people tried to hide behind their smiles. Now, they fill threatened because a black man was elected president. This is not the end of “life as we know it” but the beginning of a more diverse America.

he last few years have provided plenty of opportunities for whiplash as our anger lurches from one end of the spectrum to the other – and now we have another fine example of damned-if-you-do-sued-if-you-don’t outrage: the question of the surplus funds that Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina keeps in reserve. The nonprofit Consumers Union, a respected watchdog agency that publishes Consumer Reports magazine, put out a study questioning why 10 Blue Cross affiliates continue to raise premiums while they have fat reserves. The study, which is online at http://tiny. cc/BCBSReserveStudy, raises good questions – but we dispute its implications. First, the facts. As a nonprofit, BCBSNC does not have shareholders and it does not, strictly speaking, turn any profit – but it does stockpile cash surpluses in its reserve fund. These surpluses are sometimes the result of a period of low claims, which lets North Carolina’s insurance giant stash premium payments into savings against hard times. The surplus is also built when insurers stitch some cushion into their premiums, and this is where Consumers Union has a real problem: BCBSNC has $1.4 billion in its reserve fund. That is 911 percent more than the national standard suggested to cover risks. That figure – the RBC rating – is calculated by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, based on an insurance company’s exposure to risk. But is the RBC rating adequate? And is BCBSNC saving for a rainy day or hoarding money it could use to reduce premiums? On the whole, we agree with Consumers Union’s position that states should consider a maximum for reserve funds – but BCBSNC is not abusing its customers. We do, however, agree that North Carolina needs to clarify the uses of reserves. After all, we’re inches away from reforms that require the insurance company to accept high-risk patients and those with pre-existing conditions – and that could cost something.

his is my final column. I am grateful to The High Point Enterprise for the opportunity of writing here for these few years, especially to Vince Wheeler and Tom Blount, who have had to endure the occasional slings and arrows of those who have, from time to time, demanded my head on a plate. Thank you, Vince and Tom. I’ve given this a lot of thought, and the fact is I spend too much time investing my energy in an effort that has proven to be less than effective in the grand scheme of things. I am grateful to each and every one of you who’ve taken the time to read my column, and I thank you all, regardless of your political/religious/sexual/intellectual/racial/physical/whatever stripe. I hope in some small way I’ve contributed something of worth to you and to our community by bringing to light subjects, ideas, or notions that made you think about things in ways you might not have done so beforehand. Though not perfect, I’ve always strived to be as accurate as possible and to base my opinions and statements upon all available empirical evidence. I have never intentionally deceived you or tried to manipulate you in any deceptive manner (and I take pride in that) – unlike so many commentators and opinion writers you read here and elsewhere who do nothing but deceive others in order to further their particular cause or agenda. I have challenged you. I have infuriated you. And from time to time, I have touched you. That’s because I love you. Yes, I know, “Imagine that!” Well, yes. Imagine that. And it’s true. But sadly, and all too often, it is the anger, the frustration, the disgust, and the helplessness that you sometimes read and focused upon. But that’s not now, nor was it ever the point. If I was angry, it’s because something or someone was being harmed in some way. If I was frustrated, it’s because no one was

listening, or no one was doing anything, or no one cared to bother to either listen or do anything about what was happening. If I was disgusted, it’s because the anger and frustration was becoming insurmountable and I hoped OPINION or prayed or wished that someone would see what was Robert happening and take a stand Healy when it was needed. If I felt ■■■ helpless, it’s because I was helpless. What good is it to be a mere witness to something and watch as some horror unfolds and not be able to act on it or do anything to stop it? Feeling helpless, I think, is one of the worst things one can experience in life; it is certainly one of the most painful for the compassionate among us. Before I go, I’d like to say something about the BP oil disaster, the effects of natural oil, the accompanying gasses, and the dispersant CorExit: BP is LYING. The Obama administration is LYING. The EPA is LYING. The corporate news media is LYING. They’re all lying. We are all eventually going to suffer, but those on the Gulf Coast and in the surrounding areas are at highest risk. If you have family there, GET THEM OUT NOW! Research the following: CorExit (note that it was banned in the UK), natural gasses and crude oil’s poisonous affects on humans. Believe what you want, we’ve all been lied to. President Barack Obama: sell-out, liar, corporatist, war monger (and when the first person dies from health effects resulting from being exposed to and poisoned by CorExit, add accomplice to BP for murder). May reason, solidarity, peace (and love) prevail. Goodbye. ROBERT HEALY is a veteran of the U.S. Army and graduate of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. He lives in High Point.

Group to fight vote clearing way for NYC mosque NEW YORK (AP) – Plans for an Islamic community center and mosque near the site of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks moved forward as a city panel opened the way for developers to tear down a building that was struck by airplane debris during the attack. Even as the project’s backers celebrated the decision, a con-

servative advocacy group founded by the Rev. Pat Robertson announced it would challenge the panel’s vote in state court Wednesday. Brett Joshpe, an attorney for the American Center for Law and Justice, said the group would file a petition alleging that the city’s Landmarks Preservation Commission “acted

arbitrarily and abused its discretion.” The panel voted unanimously on Tuesday to deny landmark status to a building two blocks from the World Trade Center site that developers want to tear down and convert into an Islamic community center and mosque. The panel said the 152year-old lower Manhattan build-

ing isn’t distinctive enough to be considered a landmark. The decision drew praise from Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who stepped before cameras on Governor’s Island with the Statue of Liberty as a backdrop shortly after the panel voted and called the mosque project a key test of Americans’ commitment to religious freedom.

Be Careful Have no anxiety about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. R.S.V. Philippians 4:6

aking risks is a necessary and unavoidable part of life. Every time we sit down to eat or take a ride in an automobile, we are taking risks. But, we minimize those risks by smelling our food before we eat it and by driving safely and wearing our seat belts. While we cannot completely abolish risk from our lives, there are many simple and straightforward ways that we can minimize them. We all know, or should know, that the risks imposed by smoking and eating unhealthy foods are significant and far outweigh any benefit we receive from them. The rules for living a healthy, low-risk lifestyle are pretty simple and straightforward: Eat right, exercise, get enough sleep, avoid recreational drugs and overconsumption of alcohol, avoid unsafe sexual activities, and drive carefully. This may sound a lot like what your mother has been saying for years, and with good reason. Mothers know that life is inherently risky and they usually make every effort to safeguard their children. We should all remember that life is a precious gift, and our life is not ours to throw away on risky endeavors or frivolous pastimes. 30006400

Philokalia: Love of the beautiful or holy I

n America, we are familiar enough with two branches of Christianity: Catholicism and Protestantism. Catholicism is a single church with one leader, the pope. (Tiny branches of Catholicism exist that do not acknowledge the pope.) Protestantism involves all those churches which are not Catholic: Methodists, Baptists, Pentecostals, on and on. (Tiny branches of Protestants exist who claim they are not Protestant. They claim that they do not trace their beginnings to the protesting movements against the Catholic Church in the 1500s; in some cases this might be true, for instance, the Moravians.) Yet there is a third branch that probably did not pop up when thinking about different Christian groups: Orthodox Christians.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;love of the beautiful or holy.â&#x20AC;? While most Christian spiritual classics consist of one book, the Philokalia is a collection of spiritual classics dating from the 400 to 1400, a thousand years of spiritual classics. Because of its breadth, the collection is contained in several books (One publisher I saw published the collection in four books) with works from more than 20 authors. Following is a quote from the Philokalia. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Let us stand firm in the fear of God, rigorously practicing the virtues and not giving our conscience cause to stumble. In the fear of God let us keep our attention fixed within ourselves, until our conscience achieves its freedom. Then there will be a union between it and us, and thereafter it

There is a reason for this: Orthodox Christians are mainly in areas in Eastern Europe and east of that. Those Americans who trace their lineage to this region form a smaller percentage STUDYING than those from other THE CHURCH areas of the world. So, the Orthodox Church Mark in America has always Nickens been small, but its long â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; history equals that of the Catholic Church, both of whom trace their beginnings to Jesus. And out of this long Orthodox history comes a unique spiritual writing, the Philokalia, which means

will be our guardian, showing us each thing that we must uproot. But if we do not obey our conscience, it will abandon us and we shall fall into the hands of our enemies, who will never let us go. This is what our Lord taught us when He said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Come to an agreement with your adversary quickly while you are with him in the road, lest he hand you over to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer and you are cast into prisonâ&#x20AC;? (Matthew 5:25). The conscience is called an â&#x20AC;&#x153;adversaryâ&#x20AC;? because it opposes us when we wish to carry out the desires of our flesh; and if we do not listen to our conscience, it delivers us into the hands of our enemies.â&#x20AC;? QUESTIONS/COMMENTS contact Mark at drnickens@triad.rr.com.

Would it be easier if I were an illegal alien? W

hat do we mean by being an alien? Who is an alien? The dictionary used these words in the definition: foreigner, immigrant, illegal alien, outsider, noncitizen, refugee and stranger. The allegiance of an alien is usually pledged to another country. The word illegal is defined as against the law, unlawful, prohibited, forbidden, criminal, illicit and banned. I once lived in another country. I had to go to offices of that government in the United States to get permission to enter the country and then report to its leaders on arrival. It was necessary to carry, at all times, the proper documents that permitted me to live there and to have a special driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license. I had to produce that proof anytime I was asked for it. Wednesday, July 28, I needed to get a blood test at the local hospital. I was not a stranger. An attractive young lady asked for my full name, date of birth, and if there had been any changes since

my last visit. To my surprise, I was asked to show my driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license. ForSHARING tunately, the picture THE SPIRIT was much better than Bill the one five Ellis years ago. â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; Then I had to produce my insurance card. They had all those records. After my very mild questioning of this procedure, I was informed that there was a new order now in place to protect me from those who might act illegally. I asked what they would have done if I were an illegal alien. Could they have been jailed or fired for asking me for proof of my citizenship or permission to live in the United States? My travels have taken me to all the major continents, the island nations and territories and

tion, they could be in big trouble with the courts and federal government. They would even provide me with a new set of rules that would meet all my needs and overlook what all my products might do to harm others. Maybe I exaggerated a little in that last paragraph, but it is time we protect all our borders. If they are aliens, they belong somewhere else. If they are illegal, we do not need them. We have enough lawbreakers of our own. As for immigrants, I am certainly in favor of our United States being open to them. We were all immigrants at one time. We came from somewhere.

many countries where numerous languages are spoken. I had to have legal permission to enter those countries and usually to leave one country and head to another. Not one country has ever offered to change its rules and laws to accommodate me. They have never suggested changing their language to fit my brand of English. Is there a way around it all? Apparently, if I could begin in Mexico with a suitcase full of dangerous drugs, I could enter the country, have all my medical needs taken care of and if anybody â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a sheriff, governor, policeman or military officer asks me any ques-

Native Americans were here when our ancestors arrived and deserve better treatment. At various points in our history, they were not treated as well as illegal aliens. As a Christian, I know my citizenship is in heaven and all believers in Christ are just passing through this world to our eternal home. St. Paul wrote to the saints in Philippi, a city of Greece, â&#x20AC;&#x153;For our citizenship is in

heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christâ&#x20AC;? (Philippians 3:20). But there are requirements that must be met to become citizens of heaven. Illegal aliens really are not welcomed anywhere. There is, however, a way to arrive legally and gracefully. BILL ELLIS, P. O. Box 345,Scott Depot, WV 25560, PH: 304.757.6089

Shoppers flock to stores. 1A

BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – Suspending sales tax for a weekend on back-to-school merchandise can be a controversial issue during a year when many states struggled to fill budget holes due to declining revenue – including North Carolina. Luckily for shoppers, North Carolina didn’t hesitate to offer three days of tax-free shopping this year. States like Georgia and Vermont held sales tax holidays in 2009 but didn’t enact the holidays this year in light of economic conditions. Shoppers on Friday said there’s nothing wrong with

‘I’m glad that they offer this because the people need it. (The recession) has been hard on everyone. I know the state needs money too, but we need a break. Janie Blackwell Shopper at Oak Hollow Mall offering a tax-free weekend this year, especially when it gives consumers a break. “It’s one weekend out of all of the taxes we pay all year long,” said Rochelle Joyner, who shopped in Kmart. “We can at least have that one weekend.” Joyner, of High Point, was shopping for back-to-school items with her daughter, Ashley. She said giving a tax break to working class people may be of more benefit to the state than taking it away. “It shouldn’t be something any state takes away, in my opinion,” she said. “People like us, we’re at the bottom. We work and pay taxes all of the time. So it’s something we deserve.” A tax break also can help families who are struggling in tough economic conditions, said Janie Blackwell, who shopped in Sears at Oak Hollow Mall on Friday. “I’m glad that they offer this because the people need it,” she said about the holiday. “(The recession) has been hard on everyone. I know the state needs money too, but we need a break.” The sales tax holiday runs through Sunday and exempts certain items from sales tax, such as clothing, backpacks and computers. phaynes@hpe.com| 888-3617

I always get calls when it’s closer to school starting. “Parents are already wor-

Cook’s Barbeque of Lexington is donating all of the food for the event. “Everybody knows those names, and they think a lot of those folks,” Younts said of the entertainment. “We are going to be doing the barbecue up at the farmers market. Everybody just bring their lawn chairs down here and just have a good time for youngins.” Funds from the event will help CIS of Thomasville purchase school supplies, as well as help fund its numerous programs. One of the nonprofit’s programs includes sending students home with bookbags of food from the weekend – a program that CIS of Thomasville has continued through the summer. “You’ve got children who are hungry,” Younts said. “You’ve got children who won’t start school with their own supplies. You’ve got to give them what they got to have to get them started on a good foot.” dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

Radical jailed for role in deadly heist dies at 62 NEW YORK (AP) – Marilyn Buck, a violent leftist incarcerated 25 years for her role in some of the most notorious radical acts of the 1980s, including the bombing of the U.S. Capitol and a deadly Brink’s armored car heist, died Tuesday in Brooklyn. She was 62, and had been paroled July 15 from a federal prison hospital in Fort Worth, Texas. Friends and supporters wrote that the cause of death was uterine cancer. Her death was confirmed by federal probation and parole agencies. Buck belonged to a clique of anti-war and civil rights activists who took up arms in the 1970s and became involved in a series of politically motivated attacks on government and corporate targets. On Oct. 20, 1981, she was part of a group of Weather Underground and Black Liberation Army members who ambushed a Brink’s armored car carrying $1.6 million at a mall in Nanuet, N.Y. One guard was killed at the scene. A second

was badly wounded. Two police officers were subsequently killed after Buck they pulled over one of the getaway cars. Buck accidentally shot herself in the leg during the gun battle with police, but escaped and remained free for another four years. During that time she was involved in a series of bombings that included a 1983 nighttime blast at the Capitol that didn’t hurt anyone, but damaged Senate offices. The bomb was purportedly placed to protest the U.S. invasion of Grenada. After her 1985 capture in Dobbs Ferry, N.Y., she was convicted in the Brink’s robbery and a string of other crimes. Prosecutors said she helped Black Liberation Army leader Joanne Chesimard, who had been convicted of killing a New Jersey state trooper, escape from prison and flee to Cuba in 1979.

Boyfriend charged in death of pregnant woman HENDERSONVILLE (AP) – A man who said he was shocked to learn he wasn’t the father of his girlfriend’s child appeared in Hendersonville District Court Friday after being charged in her death. Jermaine Deprie Glover, 37, made a first court appearance on charges of first-degree murder, for which he could face the death penalty. Glover is accused of killing Misty Lynn Carter, 21, whose burned body was found by a driver along the Blue Ridge Parkway in Buncombe County on Oct. 19. An autopsy found she died of blunt force trauma to the head, and that she was six weeks pregnant. The Asheville Citizen-Times interviewed Glover after Carter’s body was found, and he told the newspaper he had learned he wasn’t the father of her child. “It was a shocker,” he said at the time. “I don’t know what to think.” Glover does not yet have an attorney, according to the Henderson County Court clerk’s office. He is being held without bond in the Henderson County Detention Center.

Watermelon quenches thirst and inflammation developed smaller, high lycopene â&#x20AC;&#x153;iceboxâ&#x20AC;? sized melons as family size has diminished and children have left the home nest. Surveys showed that ECOLOGY empty nesters and families of four felt Gwyn buying a large 20Riddick pound. melon was â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; wasteful and hard to store in the fridge after cutting so sales decreased. But with the advent of small 1- to 2-pound cantaloupe-sized watermelons, sales have rebounded. Sprite variety melon is a good example of the newer varieties that fit conveniently in the fridge. In fact, North Carolina is known for the Sprite variety. These North Carolina specialties are finally being distributed all across the country. These diminutive melons are about the size of softballs and frequently weight less than a pound. They have a very firm and crisp applelike flesh and the flavor is something like a mixture between pear, apple and honeydew and is very sweet. Ripe melons have a mottled yellow skin, while unripe melons are a pale cream color. This weekend, the watermelon is featured at the Piedmont Triad

Farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Market in Colfax. In a news release, Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Watermelons are a great summer tradition for many families.

ne of the healthiest fruits of summer that can also quench your thirst on a scorching North Carolina day is so packed full of vitamins and minerals, some folks say you should squeeze it into your medicine cabinet. Watermelon with only 48 calories per cup, no fat and vitamin B1, C, potassium, B6 and a heavy dose of the cartenoid lycopene should be a part of your diet at least once per week. The National Watermelon Promotion Board says it this way, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Watermelon is the Lycopene Leader in fresh produce, having higher concentrations of lycopene than any other fresh fruit or vegetable. In fact, fresh watermelon contains higher levels of lycopene than fresh tomatoes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a 2-cup serving of watermelon contains and average of 18.16 mg and one medium-sized tomato contains 4 mg.â&#x20AC;?

SIX LOSERS Wendy seemed to have six losers: a club, two diamonds and three trumps. But she took the ace of hearts and led the QUEEN of trumps. Cy fell for it: He covered with the king, and there was a mighty crash followed by a loud cackle from Wendy. Personally, I think we need more women in areas such as law, journalism and public service. But I know Cy should have played low on the queen of spades: Declarer wouldn’t have led the queen if she had A-x-x-x, so Cy had nothing to gain by covering.

BRIDGE Cy the Cynic is skeptical of both women and politicians. You can imagine what he thinks of a combination thereof. “I know why so few women go into politics,” the Cynic growls. “It’s too much trouble to put makeup on two faces.” Cy was the victim of a two-faced play as today’s East, and declarer was none other than his nemesis, Wendy, my club’s feminist. Against two spades, West led the ten of clubs, and dummy played low. Cy took his king and shifted to the jack of hearts.

Saturday, August 7, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Charlize Theron, 35; David Duchovny, 50; Wayne Knight, 55; Garrison Keillor, 68 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Money may be a challenge if you are too generous. You need to draw the line, set up a tight budget and work hard. This year, much will depend on what and who you know, so networking will get you in the door and on your way to a better future. Patience and practicality will be your best friend. Your numbers are 5, 17, 20, 29, 33, 38, 41 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Do what needs to be done around home before you start getting complaints. It’s all about keeping things simple right now, in order to avoid arguments, setbacks or anything else that could go wrong. ★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Question what you spend your money on and avoid snap decisions that might trap you in a difficult situation. Use your head so you don’t underestimate a situation that is playing on your emotions. Offer suggestions, not cash or time. ★★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t give in to someone trying to get you to put money into something about which you are unsure. Focus on things that will make you look and feel good. Socializing and networking should be your prime goals. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t get all worked up over nothing. Your emotions will be difficult to control and your only out will be a hobby or an outside interest. Don’t try to sort out any romantic or personal problem until you feel calmer. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Plan your day to include friends or your lover. Change is apparent and will take you in a new direction personally and physically. You can change the way you think, view life and move forward in the future. ★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Looking back will help you move forward. Your interaction with others will help you realize how lucky you are. Uncertainty surrounding finances will only stabilize if you avoid impulse purchases. A mistake made in the past can be avoided this time. ★★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You will end up in a tight spot if you are critical or point the finger at someone. This is not the time to start a feud or to overdo, overspend or overreact. Negativity will only bring you poor results. ★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Put your ideas, talent and projects out on display. The feedback you get will help you decide which way to go. Don’t overreact to criticism. What’s said will be valid and can help you. ★★★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Get things done at home or work on a project that will help you get ahead professionally. Love is in the stars and taking time out to play will spark new ideas and boost your ego. Entertain at home. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t live in the past or dwell on things you cannot change. Stay away from people you have problems with and avoid any sort of awkward conversation that could leave you with extra responsibilities. Discuss your intentions with the one you love. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Consider what you need to do to make your financial situation better. Good fortune is heading in your direction and you should help it along in any way you can. Love is on the rise. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): It’s time to discuss your future plans and to get to the bottom of a situation that has left you in personal limbo. Get out and meet people or take up a new interest that leads to alternatives you hadn’t considered in the past. ★★★★★ 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.

Broken collarbone usually heals with little fuss

ear Dr. Donohue: My 16-year-old son, an expert in getting injured, broke his collarbone while playing baseball. He said it happened when he slid into second base. I can’t picture what happened, but this is the sort of thing that my son does. They took him to the hospital, which called me. I OK’d treatment. The doctor put his right arm in a sling. It’s the right collarbone that’s broken. Is this all he needs? How long will it take to heal? He wants to be ready for football season. I would be happy to have him sit out football this year. – R.P.

BLONDIE

B.C.

The collarbone – the clavicle – has a number of important functions. It links the upper arms to the skeleton. It supports the shoulder and arm. It protects important underlying blood vessels and nerves. Since it has no padding, it’s a bone that’s vulnerable to breaking. Even before doctors roamed the earth, people realized that a broken collarbone heals without having to do involved treatment. The majority of breaks occur to the middle portion of the bone. Falls are a big cause of such fractures. I can see how it happened to your son sliding into a base. He probably slid headfirst with arms stretched out past his head. Hundreds of ways have been described on how to

immobilize a broken collarbone. Two of the most common methods are a sling and HEALTH a figure-ofeight brace. Dr. Paul Patients Donohue prefer the ■■■ sling. It provides support and achieves good results. The figure-of-eight brace, however, permits use of the arm on the side of the fracture. Either of these treatments is all that is needed. The bone will heal. He’ll have to wear the sling for two to six weeks. His doctor has to make the decision if he’s ready for football, the prime example of a contact sport. Sometimes, the sling can be removed in two weeks, but more often in six weeks. Three months is considered a minimum before considering any sport where there’s the possibility of trauma to the bone. I’ve made it sound like all collarbone fractures are easily treated. That’s not true. Some are complicated fractures requiring complicated treatment. Dear Dr. Donohue: What causes sudden, sharp pain on my right side below the ribs when I run? It doesn’t happen all the time, but it happens enough that it bothers me. Is it a sign of anything serious? Can you give me some sug-

gestions on how to get rid of it? – W.W. Every runner or anyone who has only memories of running knows what you’re talking about. That pain is a side stitch. It is not a sign of any serious problem. The explanations for it are many. Some say it comes from a temporary drop in the blood flow to the diaphragm, the principal breathing muscle. Others say it comes from tugging on the diaphragm by a stomach or intestine too full of food or fluid. Many say they have no idea why it happens. They are probably the correct experts. If you eat or drink large amounts before running, don’t. Carry a water bottle with you so you can stay hydrated during your runs. To end a side stitch, stop running until it leaves. Or you can exhale forcefully when your left foot strikes the ground, if the pain is on the right side, and vice versa if it’s on the left. A more complicated procedure is to raise both arms above your head, stretch, take some deep breaths and then lower your arms while exhaling. DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible.

Myers is catching on

il Myers exclaimed earlier this week that he’d been looking forward to his team’s visit to Winston-Salem “forever.” Granted, he only joined the Wilmington Blue Rocks on July 1 and thus had a mere month to wait for the series at BB&T Ballpark, just up the road from his Thomasville home. Forever, 30 days – so what’s a little youthful exuberance for the SPORTS youngest player in the Advanced-A Steve Carolina League? Hanf “It feels awesome ■■■ to play in front of my friends and family, I’m staying at home, I got to sleep in my own bed,” Myers said prior to Tuesday’s game against the Dash. “I’m loving it.” There’s not much to dislike when it comes to Myers’ experience as a professional baseball player. The Wesleyan Christian Academy standout got picked in the third round of last summer’s draft by the Kansas City Royals. Took a reported $2 million signing bonus instead of heading to the South Carolina Gamecocks. Flew through the lower ladders of the Royals’ farm teams down the road in Burlington, at Idaho Falls, and earlier this year in Burlington, Iowa. Boasted the highest on-base percentage of any player in the Carolina League last month. Went 8-for-13 in the three games in Winston. “It’s good to be 19 and in highA,” said the affable Myers. “I can’t complain with that.” Most players in the Carolina League are in their early- to mid20s, but then again, Myers isn’t considered your run-of-the-mill prospect. Baseball America rated him as the third-best prospect in the Royals’ system this year and the No. 1 hitter for average. Catching coaches have been with the Blue Rocks to work with Myers on a daily basis as he plays the position for his first full season. When Myers took a hard foul ball off his foot last month, the Royals flew him to Kansas City to be examined by the team doctors. “It makes you feel pretty important,” Myers said with a laugh. The good times have been present for most of this first year

Former Wesleyan Christian Academy baseball star Wil Myers is grabbing plenty of notice as a catcher for the Wilmington Blue Rocks of the Advanced-A Carolina League. of professional baseball. Myers’ only struggles came in April, when he batted .232 in Iowa. The small town didn’t suit Myers, who made no bones about his desire to earn a quick promotion to Delaware. He wasn’t waiting for good pitches to hit and was frustrated as the walks piled up. “I thought it was going to be within two or three months, but it took me three and a half, four months to get up here,” Myers offered. “I thought I was going to do good, but that changes real quick. I tried to set those goals and as soon as I did I started doing bad. Forget it. I’m just going to go out there and play.”

Once Myers stopped worrying about a promotion, it came. He left Burlington with a .289 batting average, 10 home runs and 45 RBIs in 68 games despite that slow start. Myers then positively terrorized Carolina League pitching, and through the Winston series was batting a team-high .381 with an on-base percentage of .492 through 29 games. As for the catching, well, it’s safe to say that the 6-foot-3, 200pounder is catching on. Myers played the position on a parttime basis at Wesleyan and is just now truly learning the spot. “Catching – that’s the only thing I work on here,” he said with a laugh. “They basically

leave me along hitting. A goodhitting catcher moves up kind of quick in the system. I’m looking to stay there. Hopefully my bat will take me to the big leagues, but we’ll have to see.” Blue Rocks manager Brian Rupp said Myers has been a quick study during the difficult transition of learning to block balls in the dirt and improving his footwork. “It’s light years from where it was only 2-3 weeks ago when we got him,” Rupp said. “It just speaks to the kid. He’s such a good athlete. For somebody to have the vision to say, ‘Hey, we can put this kid back there...’ He’s well on his way to being a good one.” This time, though, Myers won’t be counting the days to his next promotion. He’s assuming he’ll start next year back in Wilmington, then perhaps reach Double-A Birmingham when the time is right. This offseason – coming up in a matter of four weeks – he’ll relax at home, visit his girlfriend in Florida, and spend time at a training facility outside of Tampa where last season Myers said he found himself rubbing elbows with the likes of Derek Jeter and Ryan Howard. “I was just sitting in the training room before the first workout and you’re like, ‘Wow, I can’t believe they’re actually here,’ ” Myers recalled. “It was a great experience for me.” One of many so far, with the hope of more to come – in their own time. shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

McClain said Friday of the close friend he called Jazz. “He definitely would have had an outstanding year his senior year.” Howard’s life endMcClain ed in October. Less than 12 hours after he had starred in a Huskies’ victory, he was fatally stabbed during a fight outside a university-sanctioned dance. McClain, who had let Howard borrow his car earlier that week to pick up his girlfriend, had de-

cided not to attend the dance. He instead stayed in a hotel room with his parents, who had watched UConn beat Louisville 38-25 on homecoming. “I had my phone on silent the whole night. I woke up the next morning around 8 o’clock and I saw all the different phone calls,” McClain said. “I couldn’t believe it. I remember there was a cold rain that morning. I was sick and crying that whole day. It was just devastating.” Those memories remain fresh with McClain, even as he surprises many with his play at training

camp with a couple interceptions and diving pass breakups. “That kid has really come on,” Panthers coach John Fox said. McClain is playing a lot like he did at UConn, when he paired with Howard to make the Huskies a factor in the Big East. The 5-foot-9 McClain was the speedy, undersized cornerback and kick returner capable of big plays on both sides of the ball. The second-team all-Big East selection had four interceptions and returned a punt for a touchdown last season.

Panthers rookie McClain honors slain teammate SPARTANBURG, S.C. (AP) – The silver No. 6 pendant dangles at the end of a chain around Robert McClain’s neck. The tattoo honoring his slain college teammate covers the left side of his rib cage. The seventh-round pick is busy these days trying to stick with the Carolina Panthers. But the former Connecticut star still thinks about Jasper Howard every day, about how in a year the fellow cornerback was supposed to be in an NFL training camp, too. “He was a playmaker, a playmaker. He was on his way, man,”

would have bet the house’s ranch dressing that Jeff Gordon owned the most career Cup victories at Watkins Glen International. Good thing I didn’t, because that salad would have been awfully dry. Tony Stewart boasts the most Cup triumphs at The Glen, with five. He took the checkers in 2002, ‘04, ‘05, ‘07 and ‘09. He ranks as a strong contender to make it six this weekend. Qualifying is on tap today at 11 a.m.

(ESPN), with the race scheduled for Sunday at 1 p.m. (ESPN). Gordon has four wins at The Glen. He captured three straight from 1997-99 and also prevailed in 2001. Gordon also holds the Cup record for most laps led at Watkins Glenn with 227. Interestingly, Mark Martin sports the most top-5s (12) and top-10s (16) at Watkins Glen and shares the mark for most poles (three) with the legendary Dale Earnhardt. Martin took three straight wins at The Glen from ‘93-95, while

“The Intimidator” never won a Cup race here. Two other rock-solid road racers own multiple Cup victories at Watkins Glen. Rusty Wallace collected wins in 1987 and ‘89, while Ricky Rudd bagged victories in 1988 and ‘90. The first Cup race at Watkins Glen was held in 1986. The late Tim Richmond sped to the pole and backed it up with a victory. It will be interesting to see what all those left and right turns yield in this year’s race.

Woods, Yang meet again in PGA SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (AP) — Tiger Woods hasn’t seen the last of Y.E. Yang in the PGA Championship. Defending champion Yang, four-time winner Woods and two-time champion Vijay Singh will be in the same group the opening two rounds of the PGA Championship next week at Whistling Straits. A year ago, Yang became the first player to win a major when Woods had the 54hole lead. The South Korean rallied from a two-shot deficit at Hazeltine to win by three shots. Singh last won the PGA Championship in 2004 when it was held at Whistling Straits. The PGA kept its traditional group of the year’s three major champions, putting together Masters champion Phil Mickelson, U.S. Open champion Graeme McDowell and British Open champion Louis Oosthuizen.

Fujikawa keeps command of eGolf Championship ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

GORDONSVILLE, Va. – Tadd Fujikawa of Honolulu continues to wave Aloha to the field through three rounds of the eGolf Tour Championship at Spring Creek Golf Club. Fujikawa, who led after 18 and 36 holes of the 50-man event, carded a third-round 66 to stand at 21-under-par 195. He holds a commanding six-stroke lead over Derek Fathauer of Jensen Beach, Fla. entering today’s final round. Fujikawa’s front-nine 31 helped him maintain

command on Friday. Matt Hendrix of Greenville, S.C. stands third at 13-under-par 203. A pair of area golfers are firmly positioned in the top 10 through 54 holes. Thomasville’s Chad Wilfong shares seventh place at 10-under with rounds of 68, 68 and 70 for a 206 total. High Point’s Drew Weaver surged from a tie for 23rd to a tie for ninth after his 6-under round of 66 on Friday. He stands 9-under at 207 after rounds of 66, 75 and 66.

Mickelson targets No. 1 ranking THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

AKRON, Ohio – Phil Mickelson is closing in on No. 1. The first step is to make up a one-shot deficit against Retief Goosen, the 36-hole leader Friday at the Bridgestone Invitational. Looking more inevitable is Mickelson finally supplanting Tiger Woods atop the world ranking. Goosen turned bogey into birdie by chipping in from 25 yards off the green at No. 4, sending him on his way to a 4-under 66 that gave him a one-shot lead over Mickelson and Justin Leonard (66) going into the weekend at Firestone. Even as Goosen led another assault on par in soft conditions, Woods continued to look as ordinary as ever. The seven-time champion at Firestone hit only three fairways and stumbled to a 2-over 72 – the first time he has ever had consecutive rounds over par at this tournament – that put him 13 shots out of the lead, and five players removed from last place. Woods has been No. 1 in the world since the week before the 2005 U.S. Open, but would lose his top ranking if Mickelson were to finish in fourth place alone and Woods – who is tied for 72nd – finishes out of the top 44. Despite a bogey on the final hole, Goosen was at 7-under 133 as he tries to win his first World Golf Championship. Sixteen players were separated by four shots going into the weekend.

WESTWOOD WITHDRAWS FROM PGA AKRON, Ohio – Just as he was closing in on No. 1 in the world and possibly his first major, Lee Westwood of England withdrew Friday from the PGA Championship with an injury that even puts the Ryder Cup in doubt. Westwood, a runner-up at the Masters and the British Open this year, suffered a calf injury at the French Open the first week in July. It has caused problems with swelling in his right ankle, and it reached a breaking point Friday. Westwood, No. 3 in the world, had a chance to go to No. 1 in the ranking with a victory this week at the Bridgestone Invitational. He had his ankle taped for the second round and sputtered around to a 76. Asked after his round what he could do besides tape his ankle, Westwood replied, “Sit on my back side for six weeks, like they keep telling me. It’s the only way to improve it.” He withdrew from the Bridgestone Invitational later in the afternoon, appearing to take that advice. He will be replaced in the PGA Championship by Kevin Sutherland. Westwood already has locked up a spot on the European team for the Ryder Cup, leading the standings in money and world ranking points. The Ryder Cup will be Oct. 1-3 in Wales.

CEJKA LEADS BY ONE VERONA, N.Y. – Alex Cejka shot a 4-under 68 to take a one-stroke lead in the Turning Stone Resort Championship. Chris Tidland and first-round co-leader Rory Sabbatini were tied for second at 9 under after the second round at the 7,482-yard Atunyote Golf Club. Tidland posted a 69 and Sabbatini had a 70. Wind gusts that reached 30 mph wreaked havoc throughout the day, but Cejka birdied four holes after he made the turn to give him eight birdies and no bogeys on the back nine through the first two rounds of the tournament. Cejka, who is from the Czech Republic, is trying to become the first foreign-born winner of this event. International players have won 11 of the last 15 PGA Tour events. Six players were tied for fourth at 7-under 137.

ARMOUR III SETS PACE BLAINE, Minn. – Tommy Armour III shot a 9-under 63 and has a one-shot lead over Mark Calcavecchia and David Frost after one round of the 3M Championship. John Cook and Jeff Sluman are two strokes back. Armour, who had two victories in more than 20 years on the PGA Tour, has three second-place finishes in 12 previous starts during his rookie year on the Champions Tour. Hal Sutton, who eagled the final hole, was among those shooting 66.

North Carolina defensive tackle Marvin Austin (left) and wide receiver Greg Little participate in the team’s first day of practice in Chapel Hill on Friday. Austin and Little are a part of an NCAA investigation into whether they received improper benefits from agents.

Austin, Little practice with UNC CHAPEL HILL (AP) – Marvin Austin and Greg Little were on the practice field Friday just like the rest of their North Carolina teammates for the start of preseason workouts. It’s unclear whether they’ll be able to join the Tar Heels less than a month from now for the season opener – or beyond. The pair at the center of an NCAA investigation into whether they received improper benefits from agents didn’t talk with reporters after the afternoon practice. The rest of the players and coach Butch Davis have chosen to focus on anything other than the uncertainty following Austin, a senior defensive tackle projected as a high NFL draft pick, and Little, a senior and the team’s top receiving threat. “It’s good to get back to doing football,” Davis said. “I think our players are excited about it. Anytime you go on the practice field for two hours, as a coach, you’re always talking about block out distractions, block out the weather, block out the noise, block out the other team’s fans. This was a good way to start camp.” Austin and Little appeared to be working with the second team during a 45-minute part of practice that was open to reporters, but Davis said he wasn’t making any practice plans based on their status just yet.

HPU HOOPS HEADS FOR BAHAMAS

The High Point University men’s basketball team departs for the Bahamas this morning and will return Thursday afternoon. The Panthers will play two games, the first on Sunday night against the Commonwealth Giants at Sir Kendall Issac Gym in Nassau at 7:30 p.m. The second game is Tuesday against the Cybots at Sir Kendall Issac Gym in Nassau at 7:30 p.m. The games will use a 24-second shot clock, not the standard 35second college shot clock. Watch for updates on the Panthers trip in The High Point Enterprise in the coming days!

Thomas to serve as Knicks’ consultant NEW YORK (AP) – Even after losing all those games and an embarrassing sexual harassment lawsuit, Isiah Thomas has a place with the New York Knicks. Thomas was rehired Friday by the team as a consultant, two years after he was fired as its coach and president.

“We rotate a lot of guys throughout in a lot of different situations,” Davis said. “At some point in time during the course of training camp, we’ll have to make a deciDavis sion based on what we find out and what direction we need to go. But right now, we’re just practicing football.” Davis has talked only in generalities about the inquiry, which began when the NCAA notified the school in late June. Investigators visited the campus July 12 and 13 to interview an unknown number of players, then returned again this week. The probe has been part of a series of similar investigations at defending national champion Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina. During last weekend’s Atlantic Coast Conference Football Kickoff preseason event, Davis refused to answer whether he had a policy of holding out players in the midst of an NCAA investigation, calling it “speculative.” When asked Friday about the NCAA’s return to campus, Davis again refused to talk about specifics. “We’ll talk about football,” he said. “We’re not talking about the NCAA review.” His players are following a similar path. Quarterback T.J. Yates said

the start of training camp meant the team could just “block everything else and concentrate on football,” while cornerback Kendric Burney said the NCAA investigation has been “no distraction at all.” “We had a great first day of practice,” Burney said. “Our focus right now is on practice and that’s exactly what we’re doing.” Davis is preparing for his fourth season in Chapel Hill, where he has guided the program to consecutive eight-win seasons and their first back-to-back bowl seasons since the late 1990s when Mack Brown left for Texas. The Tar Heels are expected to contend for the ACC’s Coastal Division title behind a defense that returns nine starters from a unit that ranked among the nation’s best last year. Austin – a 6-foot-3, 310-pound tackle – opted to return to school for his final season instead of heading to the NFL, while Little emerged as the team’s go-to receiver late last year. Losing either – let alone, both – would be a blow for the Tar Heels as they prepare for their opener against LSU in Atlanta on Sept. 4. As for whether the team has rallied around each other in response to the probe, Davis is waiting to see. “Today’s our first practice,” he said. “Time will tell.”

Rolling Reds reach rare air THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO – Bronson Arroyo can’t remember the last time the Cincinnati Reds had so much team depth. This much is certain: they haven’t been at a point like this in 11 years. Arroyo threw five-hit ball over seven innings in another dominant effort against the Cubs, and Cincinnati beat Chicago 3-0 Friday to move 14 games over .500 for the first time since 1999. The Reds got a two-run homer from Ryan Hanigan off Tom Gorzelanny (6-6) in the second, an RBI single from Brandon Phillips in the seventh and came away with their seventh win in nine games after Francisco Cordero survived a shaky ninth. “We’re much better than we’ve been in the last four years,” said Arroyo, in his fifth season with Cincinnati. “We have depth at every position that we’ve never had before.” After nine straight losing years, the Reds are 14 games over .500 for the first time since they went 96-67 in 1999. And the last time the NL Central leaders led their division this late was the final week of that season. The Cubs fell out of contention long ago and once again couldn’t get anything going against Arroyo (12-6) after pounding Milwaukee 15-3 on Wednesday.

CARDINALS 7, MARLINS 0 MIAMI – Adam Wainwright pitched a two-hitter for his 16th victory, Albert Pujols homered and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the reeling Florida Marlins 7-0 on Friday night. Wainwright (16-6) struck out seven and walked three en route to his fifth complete game and second shutout this season. He threw 110 pitches and lowered his ERA to 2.07.

With the two-hitter, Wainwright matched his career best. The All-Star right-hander also threw one June 4 to shut out Milwaukee. Pujols got St. Louis off to a fast start with a three-run shot in the first inning, his fifth homer in six games and 28th this year. He also doubled home a run in the fourth.

BRAVES RETIRE GLAVINE’S NO. 47 ATLANTA – The Atlanta Braves have honored Tom Glavine by retiring his uniform number before their game against the San Francisco Giants. Glavine’s No. 47 was placed beside former teammate Greg Maddux’s No. 31 on the Turner Field facade in left field during a 15-minute pregame ceremony. Maddux’s number was retired last year. Before the presentation, delayed more than an hour by rain, Glavine sat with his adopted 1-year-old son, Kienan, on his lap at a platform near the mound at Turner Field. Glavine, a 10-time All-Star and twotime Cy Young winner, was inducted into the the Braves Hall of Fame earlier Friday during a luncheon downtown.

BLUE JAYS 2, RAYS 1 TORONTO – Lyle Overbay hit a tiebreaking RBI double in the seventh inning, helping Brett Cecil and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the slumping Tampa Bay Rays 2-1 on Friday night. Cecil (9-5) struck out nine in seven innings to earn his first win since July 8 against Minnesota. The left-hander gave up one run and four hits, improving to 2-3 with a 4.09 ERA in his last nine starts. Matt Garza (11-6) allowed four hits in eight innings for the Rays, who have lost three straight for the first time since June 20-23.

RPM INKS ALLMENDINGER TO MULTI-YEAR CONTRACT

---

WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. (AP) – Richard Petty Motorsports has signed AJ Allmendinger to a multi-year contract extension. Allmendinger says he talked to several teams before deciding to stay put because he likes the potential he sees in his No. 43 team and doesn’t want to start over with another team. The 28-year-old Allmendinger, who joined RPM late in the 2008 season and is in his fourth full season at the Cup level, also says he likes the relationship the team has developed with Ford. Marcos Ambrose has been rumored to be headed to RPM. Petty just smiled Friday during the press conference at Watkins Glen International and said future announcements would be coming.

Stewart gears up for Watkins Glen WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. (AP) – Tony Stewart seems to be right on schedule – it’s hot, and so is the driver known as Smoke. Stewart, who typically thrives in the heat of summer, has three straight top-10 finishes, including a runner-up last week at Pocono, and sits a solid eighth in the NASCAR Sprint Cup points standings as the series heads to Watkins Glen International. Qualifying is set for today with the race on Sunday. Stewart might not be as hot as he has been in years past at this juncture of the season, but a strong finish at Watkins Glen is almost a lock. He’s won four of the past six races over the 11-turn, 2.45-mile layout, finishing second the two times he didn’t win, and has a record five victories at the storied track in the Finger Lakes region of upstate New York. “I pinpoint this race,” Stewart said. “Every time

you win here, it makes it that much easier to come back and be that much more excited about it. That’s something that I’m really proud of. It definitely gives me an advantage when we come here, at least in my mind. “I know how to win here. There’s no guarantee that it’s going to happen again this time around, but it definitely is one of the races on the schedule that we’ve got circled.” Stewart’s second year as an owner-driver has been solid but a bit off his impressive first year. In 2009, he won four times and led the points standings by a wide margin after 26 races before Jimmie Johnson stormed back in the Chase to capture his fourth straight Cup title. Although Stewart has yet to win this year, he’s 189 points ahead of 13thplace Mark Martin in the standings, a comfortable cushion as the regular season winds down.

Panthers’ Robinson trying to slim down, win job THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

to practice on Monday. He’s had some big blocks and a few scuffles with defensive players as he tries to pass Bernadeau for the starting job. “I’m going to fight for it,” he said. “It’s going to be a hard shot because Mack is doing his thing out there.”

SPARTANBURG, S.C. – Carolina Panthers guard Duke Robinson isn’t interested in revealing his weight. “That’s not relevant,” Robinson said Friday. But Robinson’s soaring weight – apparently well over his listed 330 pounds – was why he spent the first four days of training camp on the physically unable to perform list. It cost him an immediate chance to compete for the open right guard spot, now held by Mackenzy Bernadeau. “No, it hasn’t been embarrassing,” Robinson said. “You feel bad for the situation you put your teammates in, but other than that, I feel pretty good.” Robinson was a fifth-round pick in 2009 from Oklahoma, but appeared in only one game last season. He then got on coach John Fox’s wrong side when he showed up to training camp. “He had passed his original (conditioning) test, but came in a little overweight,” Fox said. “We wanted to make sure he could pass it again. It took him maybe an extra day. But he’s looked good out on the field and has held up pretty good conditioning-wise.” Robinson said his weakness is not junk food, but eating too late at night. “You work out and you eat at 11 or 10. It doesn’t make sense,” he said. The 6-foot-5 Robinson’s power and aggressiveness has been on display since he’s been cleared

VAUGHAN’S CHANCE Thanks to a number injuries to running backs, unheralded Josh Vaughan has been getting numerous carries at camp. Vaughan isn’t complaining about the extra workload in the intense heat – not after he spent most of last season out of football. “I sat at home for 15 weeks last year,” Vaughan said Friday. “It was miserable for a while, but I just kept my faith strong and never lost hope.” Vaughan, who played at Richmond, went undrafted last year before signing with Tampa Bay. He was waived early in training camp, signed with Jacksonville, then was waived again in final cuts. Vaughan returned to Richmond and was getting little interest from other teams. Running low on money, he took a job with a transportation company that primarily takes underprivileged people to medical appointments. “It was a different experience because you got a chance to serve people who were less fortunate,” Vaughan said. “It sets you back and gets you thinking on a different level. You don’t realize how fortunate you are until you

see the struggles other people go through.” Vaughan finally was signed to the Jaguars practice squad late last season, and Carolina signed him in the spring. While the Panthers are loaded at running back and Vaughan faces long odds to make the final roster, he’s been getting carries with the first team with three backs sidelined. “Hopefully, I make a good case for myself,” he said.

INJURY UPDATE The Panthers still had 16 players missing from the morning workout. Starting cornerback Chris Gamble started practice, but went under the tent because of lingering knee pain. Defensive tackle Ed Johnson also missed his second straight day because of illness. Running back Mike Goodson was out of the protective boot he was wearing earlier in the week as he recovers from a severely sprained left ankle.

FANFEST TODAY There were fumbled snaps, the coaches were yelling at players and players were yelling at teammates. After 10 straight days in Spartanburg, there was some crankiness Friday morning and players are welcoming a change in routine with today’s FanFest practice at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte. The Panthers will hold a 36-play scrimmage during Saturday’s workout, which begins at 11 a.m. and is free to fans.

Hiring maintains sluggish pace WASHINGTON (AP) – Companies showed a lack of confidence about hiring for a third straight month in July, making it likely the economy will grow more slowly the rest of the year. The unemployment rate was unchanged at 9.5 percent. Private employers added a net total of only 71,000 jobs in July, far below the 200,000 or more jobs needed each month to reduce the unemployment rate. The modest gains were

Ford to start paying chairman again DETROIT – After a five-year wage freeze, Ford Motor Co. Executive Chairman Bill Ford Jr. is getting paid again. It’s another sign that the automaker founded by his great-grandfather Henry Ford is healthy enough to award its top executives generous pay packages. The company recently said it earned $2.6 billion in the second quarter, its fifthstraight quarterly profit. Bill Ford will be paid $4.2 million in salary and in stock options worth $11.6 million.

Consumers continue cutting credit card use WASHINGTON – Consumer borrowing fell in June for a fifth straight month as households keep cutting back on credit card use. Borrowing dropped at an annual rate of $1.3 billion in June, the Federal Reserve reported Friday. That marked the 16th drop in overall credit in the past 17 months. Americans backed away from swiping their credit cards for the 21st straight month. That offset a rise in the number of auto loans.

Tobacco companies settle bribery charges WASHINGTON – Two American tobacco companies are paying nearly $30 million to settle charges that they bribed foreign officials to get lucrative overseas tobacco sales contracts. The companies, Universal Corp. of Richmond, Va., and Alliance One International of Morrisville, N.C., faced civil and criminal charges. Universal was accused of bribing officials in Thailand, Malawi and Mozambique. Alliance One is accused of bribing officials in Thailand, China, Greece, Indonesia, and Kyrgyzstan.

even weaker when considering a loss of government jobs at the local, state and federal levels in July that weren’t temporary census positions. Factoring those in, the net gains were only 12,000 jobs, according to the Labor Department’s July report Friday. Investors reacted by selling stocks and shifting into more conservative Treasury bonds. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note, which helps set rates on mortgages and

other consumer loans, fell to 2.85 percent from 2.91 percent late Thursday. Major stock indexes all fell and the Dow Jones industrial average dropped more than 130 points in morning trading. The department also sharply revised down its jobs figures for June, saying businesses hired fewer workers than previously estimated. June’s private-sector job gains were lowered to 31,000 from 83,000.

AIG reports $533 million loss NEW YORK (AP) – The insurance giant AIG on Friday reported a $538 million loss in the second quarter due to charges related to selling assets to repay the federal government bailout it received during the financial meltdown. AIG’s adjusted results excluding the charges beat Wall Street expectations as its insurance business improved. Its CEO also said discussions are under way regarding a government exit from its huge stake in the company. Its shares rose in midday trading. American International Group Inc. said its net loss attributable to common shareholders amounted to $3.96 per share. It had a profit of $311 million, or $2.30 per share, a year ago. The net loss attributable to AIG was a larger

$2.66 billion. That is much bigger than the $538 million loss attributed to its shareholders, because it includes the portion that the government is shouldering. The government owns 80 percent of AIG. Removing the charges, AIG earned $1.99 per share, up from $1.71 per share last year. That reflected improved performance in its insurance business, despite heavy claims related to the Gulf of Mexico oil rig explosion and subsequent spill, storms and flooding in the U.S. during the quarter and the Icelandic volcano. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters, on average, expected profit of 99 cents per share. Keefe, Bruyette & Woods analyst Cliff Gallant said the results were confusing because the company is undergoing so many changes.

Gas prices increase; oil falls slightly THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Motorists heading out for back-to-school shopping trips or a late-summer vacation will pay a few cents more for a gallon of gas this weekend. Pump prices rose this week because of a rally in oil, yet they aren’t expected to spike in the weeks ahead because of typical light trading in the oil market in August, still-ample supplies and fairly weak demand. The national average for a gallon of unleaded regular gasoline was $2.779 Friday, about 3.8 cents higher than a week ago, according to AAA, Wright Express and Oil Price Information Service. It’s also 16.9 cents more than motorists paid a year ago. Travelers in the West,

Illinois and New York are seeing the highest prices. The lowest prices are in Texas, the Midwest and the Gulf coast region. Unleaded regular gasoline prices should range between $2.75 a gallon and $2.85 a gallon until Labor Day when a retreat is expected as demand falls, said Tom Kloza, publisher of the Oil Price Information Service. In energy trading, oil prices dipped after a government jobs report prompted new concerns about economic growth. Benchmark crude for September delivery fell $1.31 to settle at $80.70 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. In other Nymex trading in September contracts, heating oil fell 3.96 cents to settle at $2.1472 a gallon.

Jobs report drops stocks, dollar NEW YORK (AP) – Safety first. That appears to be the new motto for investors trying to figure out how bad the emerging slowdown in U.S. economic growth is going to be. A disappointing jobs report sent investors out of stocks and the dollar Friday and into assets perceived as being safer. Foreign currencies and gold rose, as did bond prices, which sent interest rates lower. The yield on the two-year Treasury note hit a record low. Stocks sank for most of the day but pared their losses in late afternoon trading. The Dow Jones industrials ended down 21 points after being down as much as 160 earlier in the day. A closely watched monthly employment survey from the Labor Department confirmed what investors have been fearing: The U.S. economic recovery is weakening. Private job growth was just 71,000 in July. That’s below what analysts had hoped for and far shy of the level that would be needed to reduce the unemployment rate, which remained steady at 9.5 percent. It was latest sign that a slowdown in U.S. growth is the real problem with the global economy, not the European debt crisis that had financial markets in a tizzy for much of the spring.

Saudis shed BlackBerry phones before ban kicks in RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Some Saudis were trying to sell their BlackBerrys ahead of a ban on the smart phoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s messenger service in the kingdom â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but with few willing to buy, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re having to slash prices. The Saudi telecoms regulatory agency announced earlier this week the service would be halted Friday. By midafternoon, it was still operating. One Saudi newspaper, Okaz, said the halt would begin at the end of the day, at midnight. Saudi officials were not available Friday, a weekend day, to confirm. The kingdom is one of a number of countries ex-

pressing concern that the device is a security threat because encrypted information sent on the phones is routed through overseas computers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; making it impossible for local governments to monitor. The United Arab Emirates has announced it will ban BlackBerry email, messaging and Web browsing starting in October, and Indonesia and India are also demanding greater control over the data. Canadian officials were in talks with the BlackBerryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Canada-based maker, Research in Motion, Ltd., and Saudi officials in a bid to avert

the ban, Canadian International Trade Minister Peter Van Loan told The Associated Press. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are making progress,â&#x20AC;? he said, though he said that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean a deal was imminent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll keep talking ... Hopefully we can work toward a satisfactory arrangement.â&#x20AC;? Analysts say RIMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expansion into fast-growing emerging markets is threatening to set off a wave of regulatory challenges, as its commitment to keep corporate e-mails secure rubs up against the desires of local law enforcement.

governments, but says its technology does not allow it, or any third party, to read encrypted e-mails sent by corporate BlackBerry users. The consumer version has a lower level of security. On Friday, Lebanon said it is also looking into whether BlackBerry use raises security concerns there â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in part because of allegations that Israeli spies are trying to infiltrate phone networks in Lebanon.

KNIFE ATTACKS: Michigan police search for serial killer. 2D

NEWEST JUSTICE

NTSB investigates deadly bus accident GRAY SUMMIT, Mo. (AP) – National Transportation Safety Board investigators examining the Missouri crash that killed a 15-year-old school bus passenger and the teen driver of a pickup truck are hopeful they’ll learn something to make school buses and road work zones safer, an NTSB official said Friday. NTSB Vice Chairman Christopher Hart said “people, vehicles and the environment” at the crash scene will be evaluated by the team of 14 investigators, though a final report could take up to 18 months. The accident happened Thursday on Interstate

44, about 40 miles from St. Louis. A semi cab slowed for road construction and was struck by a pickup. Two buses carrying high school band students to Six Flags St. Louis from central Missouri then slammed into that wreck.

President Obama stands with U.S. solicitor general Elena Kagan during a ceremony in the East Room of the White House in Washington Friday after her confirmation as Supreme Court justice by the Senate Thursday.

Elena Kagan set to be sworn in today WASHINGTON (AP) – A beaming Elena Kagan and President Barack Obama on Friday celebrated her imminent ascension to the Supreme Court with jokes and references to the irreverent sense of humor she put on display during her Senate confirmation hearing. An audience in the East Room of the White House, filled with Kagan’s friends and extended family, along with Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Anthony Kennedy, screamed with joy and applauded as Obama introduced “Justice Elena Kagan.”

Kagan, 50, holds the title of U.S. solicitor general for one more day. “While she may be feeling a twinge of sadness about giving up the title of general – a cool title – I think we can agree that Justice Elena Kagan has a pretty nice ring to it,” Obama said of his second successful appointment to the court. The Senate on Thursday confirmed Kagan as the nation’s 112th justice. She will be the fourth woman ever to serve on the high court. Kagan will be sworn in Saturday

at the Supreme Court as the successor to retired Justice John Paul Stevens. Obama said senators got a “pretty good look” during the confirmation process at Kagan, who met individually with more than 80 senators and testified for a total of 17 hours. “They got a good sense of her judicial philosophy, her commitment to the rule of law, her rich understanding of our Constitution and, of course, where she can be found on Christmas Day,” Obama said, alluding to one of her jokes.

Spill probe turns to undersea evidence NEW ORLEANS (AP) – Now that BP appears to have vanquished its ruptured well, authorities are turning their attention to gathering evidence from what could amount to a crime scene at the bottom of the sea. The wreckage – including the failed blowout preventer and the blackened, twisted remnants of the drilling platform – may be Exhibit A in the effort to establish who is

Economic advisor cites family reasons for departure WASHINGTON (AP) – Christina Romer, the departing chief of President Barack Obama’s economic advisory council, cast disagreements among key players on the White House economic team as a healthy part of reaching tough policy decisions. “Everybody knows we’re all strong personalities,” Romer told The Associated Press on Friday. “We don’t hesitate to have a very aggressive back and forth. But I think one of the things that we have done is absolutely find our groove. We’re a wonderful team.” Romer said she is leaving solely for family reasons. She has been a chief economic aide to Obama, along with such advisers as Larry Summers, director of the White House National Economic Council, and Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner.

responsible for the biggest peacetime oil spill in history. And the very companies under investigation will be in charge of recovering the evidence. Hundreds of investigators can’t wait to get their hands on evidence. The FBI is conducting a criminal investigation, the Coast Guard is seeking the cause of the blast, and lawyers are pursuing millions of dollars in damages for the families

of the 11 workers killed, the dozens injured and the thousands whose livelihoods have been damaged. “The items at the bottom of the sea are a big deal for everybody,” said Stephen Herman, a New Orleans lawyer for injured rig workers and others. BP will surely want a look at the items, particularly if it tries to shift responsibility for the disaster onto other companies.

Tropical Storm Estelle forms; Colin heads for Bermuda MIAMI (AP) – Tropical Storm Estelle has formed in the Pacific, while in the Atlantic, Tropical Storm Colin is heading toward Bermuda. Authorities have closed beaches across Bermuda, warning of high winds and dangerous surf. Forecasters at the National Hurricane Center said Friday the center of the storm is about 300 miles (485 kilometers) south-southwest of Bermuda and is moving

north around 9 mph (15 kph). Its maximum sustained winds are near 45 mph (75 kph). A tropical storm warning was issued for Bermuda. Colin’s center is expected to pass near or over the British territory Saturday. In the Pacific, Estelle poses no threat to mainland Mexico. The storm has top sustained winds near 40 mph (65 kph) and is heading west-northwest at 12 mph.

4 bodies found in trash-filled apartment

Police meet with a woman near the scene where four bodies were found Friday in Lanham, Md.

RIVERDALE, Md. (AP) – Police say two women and two children have been found shot dead in a trash-filled Washington-area apartment that had no running water. Prince George’s County, Md., police say the amount of trash is hindering the investigation of the bodies found in the makeshift apartment above a detached garage at a home in Riverdale. The victims were two

women in their late 30s, a three-year-old girl and five-year-old boy. Officers found the bodies early Friday after responding to a call from someone at the property who reported an assault. Police wouldn’t say how the victims died. Police Chief Roberto Hylton said whoever killed the victims may have known them, and the slayings attack appeared to be “personal” rather than random.

Company recalls 1 million pounds of ground beef SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – A meat processor recalled about 1 million pounds of ground beef products Friday after seven people were sickened by E. coli contamination. Valley Meat Co., of Modesto, sold the potentially contaminated beef patties and ground beef in California, Texas, Oregon, Arizona and internationally, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said. The beef was processed from Oct. 2, 2009, to Jan. 12, 2010. Most of the products were sold frozen. The company was working

with the USDA to identify stores where the products were sold and remove the items from shelves. The USDA would likely have a list of retailers available in three to 10 working days, department spokesman Neil Gaffney said. “This is the first recall in our history and we will investigate the matter thoroughly and take any measures deemed necessary to further elevate our safety standards, protect consumers, and ensure confidence

in our products,” Valley Meat said in a statement. All of the recalled products have the establishment number “EST. 8268” inside the label’s USDA mark of inspection. Valley Meat said consumers should discard possibly affected meat or return it to stores for a refund. The California Department of Health notified the USDA in mid-July of a cluster of E. coli-related illnesses, leading to the recall.

Serial killer sought in Michigan FLINT, Mich. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Investigators say a knife-wielding serial killer has been attacking men on Flint-area streets since May, killing five people and wounding eight others in a vicious spate of violence that may be motivated by racial hatred. Survivors have described

their assailant as a muscular, young white man, and all but one of the 13 victims was black, Flint police Lt. T.P. Johnson told The Associated Press on Friday. Flint is a predominantly black city, and investigators are unsure if the suspect was targeting blacks or whether the victims were chosen at random.

The victims were all outside alone at night. Survivors have said the attacker approached them under the pretense of needing directions or help with a broken down vehicle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He then pulls a knife and attacks them without saying anything more,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said.

RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; In November 2008, with the nation transfixed by a presidential election and a collapsing economy, a group of international hackers infiltrated the computer network of a major financial services company in what authorities describe as one of the most sophisticated attacks ever concocted.

Their work was both furtive and impressive: Around the time Barack Obama was securing his White House win, the hackers entered RBS WorldPay servers, accessed prepaid payroll card numbers, cracked their encrypted PIN codes, raised the balances on the cards and distributed dozens of them to

a team of people around the world. Then, in the span of 12 hours around Nov. 8 of that year, the group hit 2,100 ATM terminals in 280 cities spanning the world, from the United States to Russia to Italy to Japan. Prosecutors say they withdrew $9 million â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a haul that rivals 1,000 typical bank robberies

in the United States. Despite the technical and international challenges of the case, U.S. investigators believe they were able to trace the scheme back to its origin. On Friday they brought one of the accused ring leaders Sergei Tsurikov, 26, from Estonia to Atlanta to face arraignment.

PENSACOLA, Fla. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Twenty states and the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most influential small business lobby said Friday a federal court in Florida must hear their challenge to President Barack Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health care overhaul because they face imminent harm from its mandates. The Justice Department in June asked a federal judge to dismiss their lawsuit, saying the U.S. District Court in Pensacola lacks subject-matter jurisdiction over some of the lawsuitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s claims. They also said other parts of the lawsuit failed to state claims upon which relief can be granted. The states, the National Federation of Independent Business and several individual taxpayers filed their response Friday in Pensacola federal court.

DENVER â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Oklahoma City bombing conspirator Terry Nichols says prison officials in Colorado inserted IVs into his veins and force fed him following hunger strikes this year. Nichols recently filed a handwritten document in a lawsuit filed against officials at the federal Supermax prison in Florence, Colo., over the lack of whole grains, unpeeled fruit and fewer refined foods in his diet. He said he has gone through three hunger strikes since February.

TAKE CARE WHEN BUYING ALARM SYSTEM

---

Q. I am shopping for a burglar alarm system and am looking for a little insight. I would appreciate any help that you could offer. – Nathan A. Don’t be “alarmed”, but there is no such thing as an absolutely burglar proof alarm system. However, a good alarm system will help deter and/or detect most burglars, and will give you peace of mind. According to the National Burglar and Fire Alarm Association the best alarm system protects the entire perimeter of a home (that is every door and window where entry may be made) and areas inside where valuables are kept. Most reputable alarm companies will install and maintain a local alarm system which will ring a bell or sound a siren or buzzer on the premises. Many firms also provide central reporting alarms which silently signal the alarm company’s headquarters to dispatch police or perhaps alarm company agents. Some companies will offer direct alarm connection to the local police or fire department, if permitted by local law. The basic home-protection system is a simple closedcircuit loop system consisting of contacts on doors and windows. There is also a choice of additional interior protection using pressure mats, photoelectric beams, ultrasonic, infrared and microwave systems and other motion or space-detection devices. Most residential systems are designed to ring a bell and/or illuminate the area to scare off an intruder. Remember, never sign a contract that does not specifically detail the points of protection and does not itemize the equipment to be installed.

SPRAYING YOUR ROOF

---

Q. I have a 12-year-old shake roof. My neighbor has pine trees that drop needles on the roof. There is a company that does roof care in my area. Should I have the roof sprayed or not? – Michael A. Roof care will extend the life of the roof just as painting preserves exterior walls. If roof care is within your means, by all means proceed. Pine needles require special attention. They won’t damage roofing, but are a fire hazard in the summer, and in the winter have a tendency to hold moisture on the roof. Treated or not, a roof will deteriorate where excessive moisture persists.

Understand warranties Be certain the language says they cover exactly what you want THE CAREY BROTHERS ON THE HOUSE/ASSOCIATED PRESS

ecently, a listener called our radio program to complain that the warranty he had on his roof was not being honored by the manufacturer. The caller said that the damaged area covered his entire roof – about 2,700 square feet. The composition roof shingles were cracking horizontally and vertically. He went on to say that the roof covering manufacturer had first offered him $500 to repair his roof. The caller was angry because he was told that the whole roof would have to be replaced – at a cost of over $4,000. He told us that he repeatedly complained to the roofing manufacturer who eventually agreed to provide the roofing material to replace the entire roof, and over $1,400 in cash to cover some of the installation costs. “I think they are crooks,” he said. “First, they wanted to give me $500 for a roof that will cost $4,000 to replace. Now they want to give me more, but it isn’t enough to do the replacement.” We asked the caller to send us copies of all of his correspondence with the roofing company, photos of the damage and a copy of the original warranty. He did. What we discovered was a surprise. When the roofing company

offered $500 they were doing so in strict accordance with their written warranty. And legally, were not obligated to do any more than that. The caller thought he was buying a roof covering with a 20-year warranty. What he didn’t realize was that it was a prorated warranty and that full replacement was good only during the first year. After that,

Check to see if your state has a law for your protection against some types of warranties. the manufacturer’s prorated warranty covered material replacement only with no removal of the bad material, and no labor for the installation of the new. Based on this, we started checking and made a stunning discovery: Manufacturer’s warranties for composition roof covering material are somewhat useless after one year regardless of whether they claim 20-, 30-, 40 or even 50-year coverage. California has a “hidden defect” law that could be used to get satisfaction from a manufacturer who sells a faulty product

no matter what the warranty states. If you’re having a warranty problem, check to see if your state has legislated an act for your protection against these type warranties. In California, consumers can check with the Contractor’s State License Board. States that don’t have contractor’s license agencies often manage these laws through their state department of industrial relations. Regardless of where you reside, it might be wise to also demand removal and replacement labor for at least five years from the contractor. Get this in writing before you sign on the dotted line. More often than not, the contractor does not want to be a part of any such guarantee. They love handing you the manufacturer’s warranty and no other. Be sure to differentiate between the product warranty and the installer’s warranty. They are completely different. If a warranty is an important part of your consideration of the purchase of a product, read it thoroughly before you sign. As our caller discovered, a twenty-year warranty on a $4,000 roof could be as little as $500 in the fifth year.

Don’t just straddle the fence F

or those of you who read last week’s article, you know that the only one who can answer the question of whether it is a good time for you to buy a house is you. No one can determine your needs and income stability better than you. However, if you determine that it is time for you to purchase a house, then timing is everything. On Monday of this week, I spoke with Susan Kirkpatrick, senior mortgage loan officer and vice president of Bank of America Home Loans. For qualified buyers with a middle credit score of 620, the interest rate she was quoting was around 4.5 percent for a fixed rate FHA loan with a term of 30 years. The scenario that she gave was a buyer purchasing a home for $100,000. In this case,

the buyer can expect to put down 3.5 percent, or $3,500, as a down payment. Based on estimated taxes and insurance for REAL ESTATE a house in this price range, she Ken figured the payWall ments would be ■■■ around $675. Ms. Kirkpatrick went on to say the estimated closing cost and prepaid in this scenario would be approximately $3,800. Of course your Realtor, when acting as a buyer’s agent, may suggest that you include this closing cost in your offer to purchase so it will be paid by the seller, instead of you, the buyer. This is where the timing comes in. Every time the interest rate

goes up one half percent, the payment on this scenario goes up approximately $30. It’s not been too long ago that interest rates were hovering around 5.5 percent. During that time, this same home would have had an approximate payment of $735. For some families, this $60 increase in the monthly payment could have made the difference between this home being affordable and just barely out of reach. In fact, for some of those families, with debt-to-income ratios right on the borderline, it could have made the difference in having the loan approved or having it declined. If you’re one of the many potential home buyers who are waiting on the sidelines, watching the evening news and reading the newspapers every day, waiting for conditions to get better, you should strongly consider the scenario

mentioned. Rates are truly at historic lows and the chances of them going up in the future are a lot more likely than that they will fall much below where they are now. On the other hand, if you are a home buyer who was unable to find a home that suited your needs when rates were 5.5 percent, it may be time to put in a call to your Realtor to see what homes may be available to you now that were out of your reach before.

Foreclosure activity up in most big US cities LOS ANGELES (AP) – Households across a majority of large U.S. cities received more foreclosure warnings in the first six months of this year than in the first half of 2009, new data shows. The trend is the latest sign that the nation’s foreclosure crisis is worsening as homeowners battling high unemployment, slow job growth and an uneven rebound in home prices continue to fall behind on their mortgage payments. In all, 154 out of 206 metropolitan areas with at least 200,000 residents posted an annual increase in foreclosure activity between January and June, foreclosure listing firm RealtyTrac Inc. said Thursday. The firm tracks notices for de-

faults, scheduled home auctions and home repossessions – warnings that can lead up to a home eventually being lost to foreclosure. The latest figures show the threat of foreclosures is spreading well beyond the top tier of metropolitan areas located in California, Florida, Nevada and Arizona, which have borne the brunt of the fallout from the housing crisis. Those states saw housing values surge during the housing boom years. When the boom ended, values collapsed and foreclosures soared. “The face of foreclosure is driven much more now by unemployment than in the past, and it’s moving out from the places where we’ve been focus-

ing on in the last few years,” said Rick Sharga, a senior vice president at RealtyTrac. “The combination of a weak job market and a weak housing market is making it difficult in some of these areas.” The Miami-Fort Lauderdale-Pompano Beach metropolitan area in Florida received more foreclosurerelated warnings in the first half of this year than any other, the firm said. Florida accounted for nine of the top 20 metro areas with the highest foreclosure rates. The latest data echo broader, national foreclosure trends. The number of households facing foreclosure in the first half of the year climbed 8 percent versus the same period last

year, but dropped 5 percent from the last six months of 2009, RealtyTrac said in a report issued earlier this month. In all, about 1.7 million homeowners received a foreclosurerelated warning between January and June. That translates to one in 78 U.S. homes. More than 1 million American households are likely to lose their homes to foreclosure this year, the firm said. The latest data included one bright spot: Nine of the top 10, hardest-hit metropolitan areas saw their foreclosure rates drop from a year ago. That could suggest foreclosure trends in those cities, including Las Vegas, Cape Coral, Fla., and Modesto, Calif., may have peaked.

Homebuying makes sense when you save for a down payment

ome years ago, Leo Berard wrote out a $10,000 check for each of his four children. The money gave his offspring a jump start toward a down payment for the purchase of a first home – a goal all four eventually achieved. But nowadays, due to their own financial challenges, fewer parents have the wherewithal to assist their children to buy a first home. Still, the yearning for homeownership remains strong among many in their late 20s and early 30s, says Berard, a real estate broker and charter president of the National Association of Exclusive Buyer Agents (www.naeba.org). In many areas, homes are significantly more affordable than they were before the economic downturn. Still, the barriers to entry can seem monumental to cash-strapped purchasers. “Many mortgage lenders are now stringent in their down payment requirements. And lots of young people have trouble saving, particularly if they’re carrying a lot of student loans and credit card debt,” Berard says. He urges those who are serious about buying a first home to craft a strategic plan to cut their debt, reduce expenses and begin saving in earnest. “You don’t want a lack of savings to be the critical roadblock that keeps you from moving forward, particularly at a time when both home prices and mortgage rates are very favorable for

buyers,” Berard says. Here are several pointers for potential homebuyers who need to take control of their money: • Do an inventory of your current financial situation. A major obstaSMART MOVES cle to saving for a house is uncontrolled day-toEllen day spending, Berard Martin says. But before you can ■■■ decide how to reallocate your income, he recommends you review where your money has gone, category by category, over a recent three-month period. This can be done either with pen and paper or personal finance software. Doing this preliminary inventory can be time- consuming, as you sift through your credit card and checking account statements. In fact, the process could take the better part of a weekend or possibly even two. But Berard says it’s well worth the time. • Craft a spending plan that lets you save for your home-buying goal. Once you know where your money is going, it’s time to create a budget that lets you meet your essential needs while still amassing savings for your down payment, says Eric Tyson, a personal finance expert and author of “Mind Over Money: Your Path to Wealth and Happiness.” He encourages you to closely evalu-

Florida mortgage firm settles federal charges WASHINGTON (AP) – Federal regulators say a Florida company they accused of misleading borrowers who were seeking to avoid foreclosure has agreed to repay the consumers $2.4 million to settle those charges. The Federal Trade Commission said Thursday that Home Assure

LLC, based in Clearwater, Fla., promised borrowers mortgage relief in exchange for fees of up to $2,500 but delivered little or no help. The company is now barred from selling mortgage and foreclosure relief services. Consumer advocates and government offi-

cials say borrowers who need help should avoid for-profit outfits and instead contact nonprofit credit counselors who work with lenders at no charge. The government has been pursuing numerous cases against companies it says prey on troubled homeowners.

ate every segment of your spending in search of possible reductions. For example, don’t accept that the rent on your apartment as a given, especially if you live in a luxury complex with amenities you rarely use, such as a swimming pool. When your lease is up, perhaps you could move to a more modest building to cut your rental costs. You may also find fat to cut in your transportation spending. If high gas prices for commuting are costing you more than they must, what about switching temporarily to mass transit or car-pooling for a period? Your food expenditures may also be out of line. “Why not pack your lunches for work and learn to cook at home?” Tyson says. • Get your debt issues under control. In many cases, educational loans are nearly unavoidable, particularly for those who attend graduate or professional school. But even after their schooling is complete, many young people continue to accumulate credit card debt – and at interest rates much higher than their student loans. “You need to be very aggressive about getting your debt under control. At the minimum, you should make no new purchases on your credit cards until you’ve saved enough for your down payment,” Tyson says.

To be sure, paying down credit card debt can require severe self-sacrifice. But obviously, you’ll find it much easier to amass your down payment when you’re no longer juggling credit card payments at double-digit rates. You probably won’t need a financial adviser to help you dig out from credit card debt, Tyson says, though you can find useful guidance through books on the topic. • Don’t be dissuaded from your homebuying plans by friends. Given that the U.S. economy is still facing problems, conventional wisdom has it that this is a poor time to buy a home. Consumer confidence is sagging and your friends may question your plan to save money for a home purchase in the near future. But Tyson says that those who are persuaded by friends to postpone a home purchase might one day regret that they waited, particularly after real estate markets have strengthened and home prices have rebounded significantly. “When you look back over past periods when consumer confidence was low, you’ll see that many people got terrific deals on real estate then. Contrarians can do very well,” Tyson says. To contact Ellen James Martin, e-mail her at ellenjamesmartin gmail.com.

New position, new leader Freddie Mac names its chief administrative officer MCLEAN, Va. (AP) – Freddie Mac on Monday named a company insider, Jerry Weiss, to its newly created position of chief administrative officer. The mortgage finance company said Weiss will continue to serve as its chief compliance

officer. As chief administrative officer, Weiss will take on the tasks of managing external relations and human resources. Weiss currently manages Freddie Mac’s regulatory affairs and serves as the company’s liaison to the Federal Housing Finance Agency and the

U.S. Department of the Treasury. Last year, Weiss was given the responsibility of overseeing the company’s activities in relation to and compliance with the federal Making Home Affordable Program. Weiss joined Freddie Mac in 2003.
