officials have said they would like to expand the ETJ to protect Trinity’s border residents from undesirable land uses adjacent to the city’s corporate boundaries, as well as to facilitate economic development opportunities on the city’s fringes. Owners of property in the ETJ area would not be required to pay city taxes. “You can not control any zoning in those areas right now,” Boyles said. “It doesn’t make a difference what anybody puts on the border because you can’t control development.”

dential customers that receive city garbage service. For businesses like Jones’ that have their garbage picked up four days per week, the budget called for a new $25-per-cart monthly fee. The new fees were to take effect Sept. 1, but the city has delayed their implementation because of confusion over how the charges should apply. When they approved the budget in June, some council members said they thought the $25 charge was to be a flat fee that did not take into account the number of garbage containers non-residential customers have. City staff thought the fee applied per cart and stated this in a recent letter to Jones and other businesses and nonprofit agencies in the downtown district, where garbage service has been offered four days per week for many years at no charge to customers, some of which have as many as six rollout carts. For Jones, whose business uses two garbage toters, the percart fee would equate to $600 per year. A flat $25 monthly fee would work out to half that amount.

Proposed ETJ - South Archdale ETJ Trinity

State law allows Trinity to establish an ETJ and to undertake enforcement of ordinances related to land planning and the regulation of development within a defined area outside of its corporate limits for a distance up to one mile. In Trinity’s case, it’s not proposed for the city to include the entire mile south of the city for the ETJ. The Trinity City Council will meet at 7 p.m. Tuesday at 6701 N.C. 62.

“I don’t like that figure, but I can reasonably absorb that into my overhead,” he said of the potential $300 fee. Councilman Latimer Alexander said he was under the impression the monthly fee was not to be assessed per cart. He said in the current economic climate, with the recession hampering the city’s revenue sources, fees like this are virtually the only way the city can raise enough revenue to balance its budget after citizens made it clear they can’t afford a property tax increase and don’t want reductions in services. He said the city has found ways to aggressively control costs, such as moving to automated garbage and recycling pickups and cutting recycling pickups to every other week, but the costs of delivering services continue to rise. “The need for the revenue is there. How to collect it is the challenge, so we’re kind of running into a little jam,” Alexander said.

AT A GLANCE

The city considered imposing a $6 residential garbage collection fee in the 2010-11 budget but officials eliminated the idea after hearing feedback that it would impose a burden on financiallystrapped residents. There are more than 4,000 business, nonprofit and other non-residential addresses in the city, 589 of which are city garbage customers. Most businesses pay for solid waste collection through private haulers. Of the 589 receiving city garbage service, most are small businesses that don’t need a dumpster and can fit their trash in a mobile toter. In addition, businesses in the downtown area can receive garbage pickups each Monday through Thursday. According to the city, 39 of these customers have indicated they want to keep the four-day collection service, while 40 wish to move to one-day-per-week pickups.

Businesses bristle at new garbage collection fees HIGH POINT – For Kerry Jones, operating a small business during these economic times means money is tight. So when the owner of Huffman Paint and Wallcoverings on N. Main Street found out he may be paying $600 a year in city fees to pick up his garbage, it didn’t take much for him to imagine the worst-case scenario. “That would make it impossible for me to keep my doors open, because my overhead will exceed my income,” Jones said. “We have been getting city services within our tax dollars for a substantial length of time, and now, in some cases the services are being reduced, and in other cases the services, if they are to be continued, are going to cost me extra money over and above the tax dollars I’m already paying.” High Point’s budget, which took effect July 1, includes a $6 per month charge for businesses, nonprofits and other non-resi-

TRINITY – Members of the Trinity City Council last week reviewed a proposal to expand its extraterritorial jurisdiction south of the city. The City Council agreed last week to place a resolution on the agenda for consideration to expand its ETJ south of the city, but Mayor Carlton Boyles instructed city staff Friday to remove the item from Tuesday night’s agenda. Boyles said he made the move after a conversation with a Randolph County commissioner, who he wouldn’t identify. Boyles said the decision was made between himself and the commissioner because they felt like it would be better to get a preliminary engineering study back on a wastewater treatment plant south of the city before the City Council considers expanding its ETJ south of the city. Randolph County, Archdale and Trinity have funded the study. The resolution to expand the city’s ETJ was discussed last week after it was struck down in 2007 by the Randolph County Board of Commissioners. If the City Council approves the resolution, it would go to the Randolph County Board of Commissioners for consideration, and, if passed, Trinity would hold a public hearing on the proposed ETJ before final approval. Boyles told the City Council last week he recently initiated discussion with commissioners concerning the proposed ETJ. He said four of the five commissioners were “receptive” to the idea of expanding the city’s ETJ. An ETJ is authority for a city to exercise certain planning related regulations in an area adjacent to its boundaries, including zoning, subdivision and flood control. Trinity

on an industry that already was struggling. After months of debate, the council srapped the idea. “I think what we were confronted with in the final recommendation were some arbitrary lines that were difficult to defend. In one case, (the line) was going down the middle of a street. There were existing showrooms on one side and showrooms on the other,” said Mayor Becky Smothers. “I think in the end, we were so

frustrated over the inability to define what was appropriate that, with the economic situation and with the prospects it was going to take some time for things to settle down, it just seemed the prudent thing to do.” When it comes to the second question, the answer is more complicated. If investors find it prohibitively expensive to make use of the vast inventory of vacant space near downtown, then there may not be much more the city can do. “Personally, I do have some issues with the way the market district was put forward. I think it

It is a great privilege for our Foundation to support and to honor them.” At the end of the meeting, each principal received a small back-to-school grant check. Lessard, a teacher himself for two years before going to graduate school, told Kiwanians “anyone can give to the Principal’s Fund and any amount is greatly appreciated.”

could have been done in a much better way,” said City Project Vice Chairman Jay Wagner. For example, he said some type of city-sanctioned incentive plan to help showroom owners adapt their properties to other uses could have been rolled out in tandem with the market overlay. Still, Wagner said he believes the proposal was a sound idea, but was put forth at the worst possible time. “The creation of the market district wouldn’t have caused the closure of one showroom,” he said. “As far as the overall vision for downtown, I think it’s important

not just for people who live in High Point, but I think it’s important for the health of the market for us to do something to give some alternative uses of property downtown.” Smothers said one possible avenue for the city to pursue would be to try to encourage development around “nodes” surrounding downtown, such as High Point Regional Hospital and Guilford County Technical Community College’s High Point campus. “We know where our strengths are,” Smothers said. “At some point in time, things will coalesce.”

JOHN HOOD: It’s time for an education revolution in North Carolina. TOMORROW

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

Why are people allowed to own pit bulls? I recently read a letter regarding a police officer picking up a puppy that was part pit bull at a residence. The officer commented that he would take it to the Guilford County Shelter and it would be put to death. It is my understanding that all dogs that are pit bull or part pit bull are indeed put to death. So why is it that if these animals are so vicious and a danger to the community, people are allowed to keep them chained up in yards just waiting for a young child to wander into the yard and get mauled? Also, Susie and Phoenix that were bought to the shelter after being burned and abused are pit or pit mixed. So why were they not put to death? These dogs were kept alive solely for the purpose of publicity and a chance to get donations. Why the exception? Don’t get me wrong, I have more compassion for animals than I do people. I am very pleased that, due to Susie’s misfortune, laws were changed regarding cruelty to animals. The bottom line is: If the animal shelter does not want to adopt out pit bulls because they think the dogs are a liability to the community, then why allow people to own pit bulls in the first place?

Anne Rice is trying to create her own ‘christ’

U.S. into poverty How can people be so gullible? They can’t see that since he couldn’t get the governor of Arizona to go against illegal activity, President Obama worked on the judge. As usual, Obama got what he wanted. All was planned out by the judge and Obama’s administration. Just more of this wonderful change Obama promised the people.

BY TONY WATTS

hear a lot about those folk about which Leonard Pitts wrote recently. You know the type – those who, for one reason or another, become disgruntled with Christianity and jump ship. That is the story line, in fact, as Pitts applauds said departure of Anne Rice, who, because of organized Christianity’s “antigay, anti-feminist,” and “anti-science” stance decided to flee and create some nonbiblical self-made “christ” whose moral, political and scientific views matched her own.

Of course, by “anti-gay,” the hub of her dissatisfaction with Christianity, Rice means the lifestyle that the Bible calls sin. Then, by “anti-feminism” she means the divinely intended complimentary distinctions between the sexes, and by “anti-science” she means the supernatural creation of the universe and the special creation of human beings in the image of God, including procedures like abortion and embryonic stem cell research that ignore this inherent uniqueness. If the truth were known, however, Rice’s reason for leaving organized Christianity has nothing to do with a search for truth or “spirituality,” but everything to do with the willful disdain and rejection of the “Christ” of the Bible and the inherent absolutism he represents. While Pitts applauds her departure from “Christianity,” he also celebrates her departure from the biblical Christ and from the very rationality that makes us human in the first place. In this case, I refer to what is known as antithetical thinking – a fancy way of saying that if one position is stated, then its opposite is logically denied. In other words, if I affirm something as true then, by default, I affirm its opposite as false. This is how everybody thinks, realized or not, and just to set things straight, Jesus, the Christ of the Bible, thought this way as well. He knew that his approval of one reality, truth or lifestyle automatically condemned its opposite. In fact, his view of the physical universe as his divine work and heterosexual marriage as the divinely designed boundaries for the expression of sexuality, automatically excludes an evolutionary view of the world

and any other marital paradigm. According to Jesus, God created men and women as complimentary partners, a reality verified by the most basic knowledge of human anatomy. So then, while Jesus did not condemn homosexuality, gay marriage or feminism as such, his confirmation of the divine plan for the sexes ipso facto excluded all other opposite views as wrong. The late Francis Schaeffer hit the nail on the head when, in his book, “Escape From Reason,” he said this, “The basic position of man in rebellion against God is that man is at the center of the universe, that he is autonomous – here lies his rebellion. Man will keep his rationalism and his rebellion, his insistence on total autonomy … even if it means he must give up his rationality.” So, I understand Pitts’ adulation over Rice’s dismissal of the Christ of the Bible because, like the folk in Romans 1, people want their autonomy from their maker, and nothing is sacred in their intentional rebellious flight. All those, in fact, who flee the verifiable historical Jesus, the biblical Christ, in favor of some mystical and purely subjective “christ” fashioned to their own liking, do so at the expense of right thinking, and ultimately, their own souls.

Whatever happened to quaint relic called civility?

an we be candid here? Can we just say this plainly? The public is a bunch of rude, obnoxious jerks. OK, so I overstate. A little. Yes, there are exceptions. I’m not such a bad guy and you, of course, are a paragon of civility. But the rest of them? A cavalcade of boors, boobs, bums, bozos and troglodytes. So it is small wonder the tale of Steven Slater has hit a nerve. The precise sequence of events is still being sorted out at this writing. The initial story was that Slater, a flight attendant for JetBlue, got into it with a woman who cursed him when he asked her not to stand up to retrieve her bags while the plane was still taxiing. At some point, Slater was apparently hit in the head; his attorney says the woman slammed the storage bin on him. This much is certain: Slater went on the plane’s public address system and, as quoted by one witness, declared, “To the passenger who just called me a motherf——, f— you. I’ve been in this business 28 years and I’ve had it.” He then grabbed himself a beer from a service cart, de-

ployed the plane’s evacuation slide, slid down to the tarmac and drove home. He was arrested soon after. To concede the obvious: Yes, it was OPINION a dumb stunt. He’s lucky no one on the Leonard ground was injured Pitts by the slide. ■■■ But still ... it resonates, doesn’t it? Some people are framing what happened as a cautionary tale of workplace stress. It seems to me, though, that the episode speaks more pointedly to something larger: the growing incivility of all our daily lives. If the initial account stands up, we’re talking about the incivility of the passenger. If an alternate account turns out to be true – some passengers say Slater ignited the confrontation with his own brusque behavior – we might find guilt on both sides. But either version vindicates a belief that simple courtesy has become a lost art. I’m reminded of how, when we kids would ask my mom for something, she

would prompt us: “What’s the magic word?” The magic word was “please.” And when you’d received what you’d asked for, there was another magic word: “thank you.” In the olden days, we thought manners mattered. Apparently we no longer do. And while that observation can’t be quantified, it is one many of us share. A number of surveys, including one from Rasmussen Reports in 2009, find that an overwhelming majority of us (75 percent, according to Rasmussen) think Americans are becoming ruder. I certainly do. The other day I’m at the cable company and there’s this guy whose service has apparently been shut off for nonpayment. He’s paid his bill and the woman at the counter says she can have someone out the next day to reconnect him, “if you wish.” “If I wish? That’s a stupid-ass thing to say!” “Well, sir, we need to make sure someone will be home.” “You didn’t need to make sure I was home before you f—— up my s—.” Those of us in line pretended

not to hear. But if that woman had gone Steven Slater on that guy and shoved his cable box where the sun don’t shine, I think she’d have gotten a standing ovation. From that cable office to Rep. Joe Wilson hollering “You lie!” in the middle of a presidential speech to the banal meanness of the average Internet message board, people seem to have gone utterly bat poop. So on behalf of you and me, let me tell the boorish public this: I don’t need to hear you on your cell describing your skin rash. Don’t curse at me when I’m crossing the street on a green light. That thing next to your steering wheel is called a turn signal. I paid $7.50 to hear the movie, not you. Obey your flight attendant. Other people have feelings, too.

CRAIGSLIST SUSPECT DIES: Man accused of killing masseuse commits suicide, officials say. 6A

Managing Editor: Sherrie Dockery sdockery@hpe.com (336) 888-3539

NATO strike kills 2; Afghan base protested KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; NATO forces killed two insurgents who attacked a police station in northern Afghanistan by hitting their truck with an airstrike as they fled the area, the coalition said Sunday. Three pickup trucks full of gunmen launched an attack on the main police station in Kunduz provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Aliabad district on Saturday afternoon, said Deputy Provincial Police Chief Abdul Rahman Aqtash.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;They started a gunbattle that lasted for about one and a half hours,â&#x20AC;? Aqtash said, with both police reinforcements and NATO air support called in. One police officer was killed in the fighting, he said. NATO said in a statement no one was killed or injured in the gunfight. It was not immediately possible to reconcile the discrepancy. A NATO air team tracked the insurgents as they drove

away, and fired on the truck after determining there were no civilians nearby, the statement said. Several other militants were wounded. Aqtash said the number killed may have been higher, but he was still confirming figures. Violence has been on the rise in Kunduz and other northern provinces as the Taliban extend operations beyond their traditional bases in the south. In the east, meanwhile, a

crowd of protesters set upon U.S. troops outside of Bagram Air Field â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the main U.S. base in the country. A number of people were wounded as the demonstration in Pul-e-Sayad village turned into a riot, NATO said. The crowd of about 250 people gathered around the American troops to protest the building of an Afghan Army base on land owned by local villagers, said Abdullah Adil, an Interior Ministry official who works with

NATO forces in the area. A few villagers had first gone to the construction site in the morning to demand that work be stopped and when it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, they returned with a crowd of people, he said. Protesters threw baseball-size rocks at the troops as they escorted a contractor to the base, NATO said. The rocks injured some service members and when they couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quell the riot, a soldier fired at the crowd in self-defense, NATO said.

A flood victim uses a stone to place a peg for his tent at a camp for people affected by floods in Nowshera, northwest of Pakistan on Sunday.

UN chief: Never seen anything like Pakistan floods ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; U.N. Secretary-General Ban Kimoon said Sunday he has never seen anything like the flood disaster in Pakistan after surveying the devastation and urged foreign donors to speed up assistance to the 20 million people affected. Banâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comments reflect the concern of the international community about the unfolding disaster in Pakistan, which is battling alQaida and Taliban militants, has a weak and unpopular government, and an anemic economy propped up by international assistance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This has been a heart-wrenching day for me,â&#x20AC;? Ban said after flying over the hard-hit

areas with President Asif Ali Zardari. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I will never forget the destruction and suffering I have witnessed today. In the past I have witnessed many natural disasters around the world, but nothing like this.â&#x20AC;? Ban visited Myanmar after Cyclone Nargis devastated the country in May 2008, killing an estimated 138,000 people. He also flew to Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sichuan province just days after an earthquake killed nearly 90,000 people in March 2008. The floods that began more than two weeks ago in Pakistanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mountainous northwest have now hit about one-quarter of the country, especially its agricultural heartland. While the

death toll of 1,500 is relatively small, the scale of the flooding and number of people whose lives have been disrupted is staggering. The world body has appealed for an initial $460 million to provide relief, but only 20 percent has been given. Once the floods recede, billions more will be needed for reconstruction and getting people back to work in the already-poor nation of 170 million people.

US Navy says 4 commercial ships robbed off Iraqi coast BAGHDAD (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Gunmen robbed four commercial ships anchored near the southern oil hub of Basra in a rare attack off the Iraqi coast, the U.S. Navy said Sunday. Two men armed with AK-47 rifles boarded the American ship Sagamore in the vicinity of an Iraqi oil terminal in the northern Persian Gulf at 4 a.m. on Aug. 8, taking computers, cell phones and money from crew members before fleeing the vessel after about 40 minutes on board, according to Lt. John Fage, a spokesman

for the Navyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fifth Fleet in Bahrain. He said three other ships â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Antigua-flagged Armenia, the North Korean Crystal Wave and the Syrian Sana Star â&#x20AC;&#x201C; were also robbed under similar circumstances during a twohour period starting about 2 a.m. the same day. Meanwhile, at least 14 people were killed and 30 wounded in violence Sunday, according to Iraqi police and hospital officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t authorized to release the information.

Guilford County Schools budget stands at $598.6 million after final cuts BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – The 2011 school district budget took a $38.4 million cut, according to final figures released Thursday. The Guilford County Board of Education approved a $598.6 million budget Tuesday that includes $20.7 million in state cuts absorbed in 2009-10 and an additional $17.7 million for 2010-11. Since July 1, the district has operated with an interim budget. Among the final adjustments to balance the budget, the board approved withholding $3.7 million school principals use for supplies and salaries until the impact of the state’s federal medi-

cal assistance allotment is known. “Any time you have to cut $38.4 million in two years, you’re going to feel it district-wide,” said Superintendent Mo Green. “These are significant cuts. However, our team has worked very hard to minimize – as much as possible – the impact on our classrooms. We also have worked very hard to keep people employed during these tough economic times.” The board also made these final adjustments to save $9.4 million: Using $4 million in reserves; reclassifying the chief administrative officer position to executive director and eliminating the project management position; reducing school resource

FINAL BUDGET

–

State: 57 percent or about $342.6 million. Local: 31 percent or $184.5 million. County commissioners approved $175.2 million in operating funds in June, the same as for the year ending June 30. Capital outlay funding was reduced from $4 million to $3.2 million. Federal: About 12 percent, or $71.4 million. The district is receiving about $75 million in stimulus funds over three school years, saving approximately 750 full-time equivalent positions. The stimulus program is expected to expire as soon as next year.

officer contract costs; reducing computer purchases, and eliminating 5.5 vacant custodian positions. Meanwhile, school officials statewide await word on how much money from

the $10 billion Education Jobs Bill that President Obama signed this week will flow to the district. According to the National School Boards Association, the state would receive

more than $298 million, which would save an estimated 5,700 teaching positions. It also covers $16.1 billion in state medical allotments that were set to expire in January. “At this point in time, it’s too early to say how these actions at the federal level might impact us at the local level,” said Nora Carr, district chief of staff. “We’re hopeful this will provide some much-needed relief, particularly as we face an even more difficult budget process next year, but we really won’t know until we receive more information about how this will roll-out across the state.”

Dorothy Leflore was appointed interim dean of the School of Education at North Carolina A&T State University. She is a former administrator and professor in the School of Education at A&T. In addition to her faculty appointment, she served as chairwoman of the department of curriculum and instruction for 13 years.

BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Organizers of High Point’s Avenue of Flags project have reached a milestone in their efforts to line city streets with patriotic displays. The project has brought in enough money to purchase 100 flags, 77 of which will be placed on power poles along Main Street between Russell and Montlieu avenues for Veterans Day and future holidays. The other 23 are slated for cross streets starting on High Avenue and going south. That would build upon the 50-flag display on Main Street that extended from Memorial Day through the Fourth of July. The project gives the public a chance to recognize and honor the sacrifices of members of the military or anyone else of their choice who might have contributed to the community or served as a role model. Flags are available to members of the public for a $150 donation, which provides a flag and a mount. “It’s a nice, broad section of people,” said City Councilman Latimer Alexander, who is spearheading the project. “I’ve had support from nonprofits and from individuals. What I’m trying to do now is see as many churches, civic clubs and other groups I can get in front of to tell them about this and try to enlist their support.” Alexander said in future displays, crews will place the flags lower on the poles than they were the first time around, so that they’re about 12 feet off the ground. Previously, they were placed above banners on the poles, which made them harder to see for motorists and pedestrians. Alexander said the project could expand to additional phases on other prominent city thoroughfares.

Scam uses teeth to target wallets BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – Consumer advocates are warning people to think twice about responding to low-price offers for products to whiten teeth or run the risk of getting a cavity in their wallets. In recent months, consumers in the Triad have lodged complaints with agencies, such as the Better Business Bureau of Central North Carolina in Greensboro, about being charged exorbitant amounts for teeth-whitening products. BBB spokesman Tom Corrigan said the rip-offs take two paths – purchasers either have their financial accounts billed fraudulently or incur excessive charges after not noting the fine print in discount offers. Typically, consumers are lured in with an offer of $5 or less for a teethwhitening product. After providing a financial account number for billing, the purchasers discover that they have been charged $150 or more. The promotions often refer to company names with “dazzle,”

AT A GLANCE

–

Several consumer agencies – government and nonprofit – help people with questions or concerns about possible scams. They include: • Better Business Bureau of Central North Carolina, 852-4240, www.greensboro.bbb.org • North Carolina Attorney General’s Office, 1-877-566-7226, www.ncdoj.gov • National Fraud Information Center/Internet Fraud Watch, (202) 835-3323, www.fraud.org “dazzling,” “brite” and “white.” A spokeswoman for the N.C. Attorney General’s Office in Raleigh said that the agency has received consumer complaints about teethwhitening products and offers under a variety of business names. Corrigan said the same operators often will shift the name slightly to try to stay ahead of consumer groups and authorities. “The names change but the scam goes on. Usually these companies advertise on popular websites and claim that their products are endorsed by major news media. They offer a no-risk, money-back guar-

antee and a free trial of the product or a low-cost introductory offer,” Corrigan said. “To sign up, customers must provide a credit or debit card number. Consumers often are billed before their free trial or introductory offer ends and continue to be billed after they have told the company they want to cancel.” The BBB reports that consumers often have to resort to canceling the credit card being billed, then disputing the charges with the credit card company to have the charges voided. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

Boy stabbed by stingray barb in NCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Outer Banks BALTIMORE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A 10-year-old Maryland boy survived being stabbed in the abdomen by a stingray barb in North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Outer Banks. Candace Tokar of Thurmont, Md., says her family was watching a fisherman remove a rayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s barbed stinger earlier this month when the barb snapped off and flew through the

Report: Tax policy change could affect refunds RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A change in policy could mean that thousands of North Carolinians who overpay their taxes wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get refunds, the News & Observer of Raleigh reported Sunday. The change comes in how the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Revenue Department decides an overpayment has been discovered. In previous years, a computer system would flag returns on which filers had mistakenly paid too much. After the return was checked by a department employee, the refund was made. The computer typically flags returns quickly after they are filed. Now the department says overpayments are not â&#x20AC;&#x153;discoveredâ&#x20AC;? un-

spondence that was released after an appeal to the state attorney generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is the governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strong feeling that if we as a state have the opportunity to process these accounts in accordance with the law and pay people back the money that they are owed, that we should be doing it if we can,â&#x20AC;? said Chrissy Pearson, a spokeswoman for Gov. Beverly Perdue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unfortunately, the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;if we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is the big question here.â&#x20AC;? Pearson said she was told the Revenue Department thinks it would take $1 million to hire new staff to get through the backlog of 230,000 tax returns, some dating as far back as 1994, awaiting a review.

Mom resents non-support for sonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; college expenses

ear Abby: When my two boys were young, I agreed to a reduction in child support payments with the understanding that my ex would help later with their college tuition. This was not put in writing. Now both my boys are in college and their father is refusing to help. When I asked him to at least help with the costs of their books, he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what child support was for.â&#x20AC;? I guess I should have seen this coming, as he has been cruel and unreasonable toward me for the past 22 years. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more hurtful is my sons have adopted their fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attitudes. They have told me their child support should have been saved for college. I always put my children first and feel that all the hours I have worked to pay for college means nothing to them. Have you any advice for me? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Unappreciated in Wisconsin Dear Unappreciated: Yes. Your first mistake was not getting the agreement with your ex in writing. The second is in continuing to foot the entire bill for your sonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; college education. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time they applied for scholarships, student loans and part-time jobs. Close your checkbook and make an appointment with a lawyer, because your ex may not be off the hook regarding paying for the boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; education to the extent that he thinks he is. Dear Abby: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chadâ&#x20AC;?

and I have been married for six years. While we were dating, I asked him if he ADVICE was done being in a Dear band and Abby in the club â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; scene. He said yes. My dilemma is he has now been asked to be in a band, and he wants to do it. He told me he wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t accept the offer if I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want him to, because the issue was important to me when I was considering marrying him. Now I find out he has been telling me one thing and the band guys another. He is planning to join. Am I wrong to be livid about this? I know he enjoys playing, which is why he was drumming at church. But why join a band now? Abby, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 45! Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m upset but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m justified in being so. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Not A Band Wife in Texas Dear Not A Band Wife: You are upset because you know your husband hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been truthful with you â&#x20AC;&#x201C; telling you one thing and his prospective band mates another. Also, the role of â&#x20AC;&#x153;band wifeâ&#x20AC;? is one you specifically wanted to avoid. Not knowing Chad, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know whether he loves music or enjoys being in the spotlight. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not something that fades with age. Because you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop him, be a sport and let

him shine. If heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good, enjoy the extra income. If heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not, this gig wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be forever. Dear Abby: I am an only child who was very close to both my parents. When my son was born, he completed our happy circle. When Mom died unexpectedly early this year, it was a painful shock. Life hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been the same without Mama here. One afternoon, I was missing my mom and prayed for a sign that she was still watching over us. The next morning in church, she was still on my mind. During the sermon I quickly wrote a check for the offering, but didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rip it out. I then placed my checkbook down next to me.

tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to believe that August is here and kids are again heading to college. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personal for our family because we have a daughter starting her second year of college. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big step toward adulthood for kids and a big step for parents whose kids must begin learning how to make their own way. After much planning FIREHOUSE by parents CHAT and kids the big Lee day apKnight proaches. â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; Furniture, pillows, blankets and school supplies are bought to prepare for the big day. Many make it a family affair when moving the new student into their dorm. Furniture is moved, clothes unpacked and introductions between new roommates are made. Eventually parents say their final goodbyes and drive away. Unfortunately a discussion about fire safety likely never happened. Between 2000 and 2005, 39 deaths and nearly 400 injuries occurred in college dorm fires. Many kids who go off to college have never lived on their own and give little thought to fire safety. This lack of knowledge about fire safety and lack of life experience increases the chances of tragedy. Here are some things you can talk about. Many colleges are installing sprinkler systems, so checking with your college to see if any of their dorms have sprinklers is a good option. Properly installed sprinkler systems are the best way to protect your child from the dangers of fire. Make sure they understand the importance of smoke detectors and replacing the batteries. Electrical systems can be overloaded so use power strips with an over-current protector. Students should have a good knowledge of kitchen safety or eat in campus cafeterias. Kitchen fires are the second-leading cause of dorm fires. Drinking alcohol is also dangerous. It decreases your ability to detect fires and increases the chance of falling asleep in bed while smoking, which can be deadly. Setting off fire alarms is a common college prank. This is dangerous because other students will begin ignoring the alarms. Take every alarm seriously because seconds count when the fire is real. Ignoring an alarm could put you in a dangerous situation. Parents spend a lifetime preparing their kids for college. Spend some time on fire safety. It may save their life. 24/7/365: You call; we respond. KENNETH LEE KNIGHT is a battalion chief in the High Point Fire Department.

GARFIELD

Cancer treatment could cause erectile dysfunction

ear Dr. Donohue: A little more than nine years ago, my husband had a prostatectomy for prostate cancer. He was a few days short of his 50th birthday. He was and is athletic, although now nearly 60. The surgery left him completely impotent. He has not seen a urologist in more than five years. The mere mention of doctors or sex sets him off. He won’t watch TV because of Viagra ads. I know he needs to see a doctor, but he won’t. We get along well. I feel like age 50 was just too young to become permanently celibate. – W.P.

BLONDIE

B.C.

Your husband developed prostate cancer at a young age. The operation he had, total removal of the gland, offers the greatest chance for cure when cancer is limited to the gland. It appears that the surgery did cure him. All treatments for prostate cancer run the risk of creating impotence, erectile dysfunction. Surgery is a risk because a bundle of nerves and blood vessels is on either side of the prostate, in close proximity to the gland. Those nerves and bundles fill the penis with blood for sexual relations. Doctors are vigilant about carefully avoiding those bundles, but are not always able to preserve them. Your husband ought to consider options other than the three drugs

one hears about – Viagra, Levitra and Cialis – since you wrote that he tried HEALTH them and they didn’t Dr. Paul work for Donohue him. One ■■■ option is the selfinjection of drugs like alprostadil. Another is the use of a vacuum device that fills the penis with blood. Surgical procedures are another choice. A semi-rigid rod can be implanted. Or an inflatable prosthesis can be embedded, and an erection is obtained by pumping, with a small device, saline into the penis. Your husband would be wise to discuss these matters with a urologist now. I do, however, appreciate how he feels and how discouraged he must be. Dear Dr. Donohue: For the past four to six months I have been short of breath. On the treadmill or going up stairs, I get short-winded. I wonder if my medications could be the cause. They are: perphenazine/amitriptyline (which I have taken for 25 years), lisinopril (taken 10 years), simvastatin (taken one year) and propranolol (taken for four months). Please help. – A.K. Breathlessness is mentioned as a possible side effect of lisinopril for a

very few users. After 10 years of use, it would be unusual to develop that effect. Shortness of breath is also listed as a side effect of beta blocker drugs. Propranolol is one of those drugs. Again, it’s a rare side effect. Breathlessness on exertion (climbing stairs, on the treadmill) is more likely to come from a physical problem, not one induced by medicine. It can be a sign of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, COPD (emphysema, chronic bronchitis), a large number of other lung problems, heart failure, heart valve troubles, anemia and on and on. You must see a doctor to clear this issue up – quickly. Dear Dr. Donohue: I have arthritis. Every time it rains, my pain seems to increase. I attend the Arthritis Foundation’s exercise classes, and we all have the same response to rainy weather. We’re wondering if this is due to increased humidity, low barometric pressure or just an “old wives’ tale.” – E.S. A drop in barometric pressure along with an increase in humidity has been demonstrated to cause a flare of arthritis. It’s the exact set of conditions that happen prior to a storm. Some arthritics experience more joint pain when temperature drops.

The architecture of this pair of shoes is highly idiosyncratic. The shoemaker made a sole by combining elements of a chopine with a high heel, and he made an upper that combines a shoe and a mule. The red velvet upper, decorated with raised silver thread embroidery, combined with the unusual sole, makes these shoes a remarkable statement in ostentation.

The dirt on shoes Footwear cycles for women are centuries old BY LEANNE ITALIE ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

EW YORK – Flats, platforms, wedges and stilettos. Sandals, slippers, boots and clogs. Craftsmen and haute designers have been tweaking women’s footwear for centuries to reflect culture, politics and utility, but few have broken through with truly renegade reinventions. “There are adaptations, but actual world-changing innovation is a lot less common than we might want to believe,” said Elizabeth Semmelhack, senior curator of the Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto. The museum collects, exhibits and interprets footwear from around the world, with 13,000 examples of early designs and styles. Many are still referenced today, from thong sandals of the ancient East to towering chopines of Renaissance Europe. Semmelhack gives credit to thinkers such as Salvatore Ferragamo for his wartime cork wedges and Alexander McQueen for his 10-inch lobster claws, but she points to the rise of celebrity designers themselves as perhaps the most influential development of all. “Did you even think about who made your Keds? Over the course of the 20th century, shoemakers have gone from anonymous craftsmen to fashion trendsetters,” she said. “It’s a relatively new phenomenon.” So when, exactly, did shoes begin? No one knows precisely. Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis theorize that western Eurasians used supportive footwear nearly 30,000 years ago, based on a shortening and weakening of the bones of the smallest four toes while leg muscles remained long and strong. Simpler, more ill-fitting coverings protected feet in harsh climates about 50,000 years ago, according to other research. The oldest surviving specimens of shoes appear to be sagebrush bark strap sandals found in caves of the Northern Great Basin in Western North America that are thought to be more than 9,000 years old. Sandals haven’t changed all that much since, or from ancient

times in Egypt, Greece and China. Strappy gladiator touches have never gone out of style, bejeweled thongs mimic the practice of placing precious gems on shoes for royalty and platforms in the West can be traced in an almost unbroken timeline right on through to Carmen Miranda and Lady Gaga. Even older, a wooden Japa-

nese thong platform called a geta, with separate heel pieces, has been traced to 300 B.C. High, narrow stilettos didn’t come into their own in the West until the 1950s, but chunkier heels detached from the front of a sole were everywhere among the upper crust in the 17th and 18th centuries. The separate high heel, Semmelhack said, “came into

fashion in Europe but was worn in the Near East before it was of any interest to Europeans.” Height has a long history played out in the extreme in chopines nearly 20 inches high in 16th-century Venice. “Footwear has this special place, as we all know,” said Stuart Weitzman, who has a long relationship with glitzy heels and a new line of chunky jeweled and studded jelly sandals and shoes for spring. Year after year, he said, his best-selling color in sandals is no color at all. “Who is the first hero, the first story that every girl ever reads or learns or is told about in her lifetime? The transparent shoe in Cinderella,” Weitzman said. “Before you can read or write, you’re brainwashed into what a transparent shoe can do for your life. It takes everybody back to that time, the mystery.” As mass media and mass production made fashion “more democratic,” according to Semmelhack, politics often revolutionized it. Shoes were no exception. Heels went immediately flat in 1800 and stayed that way through 1850 in response to the French Revolution, a time that ornate heels were preferred by the ruling class, she said. Platforms were reborn at the height of the Great Depression, linked to Hollywood glamour and excess. Not all high shoes appear built for torture, though many were promoted then and are sought after now for their slim silhouettes and dainty gaits – the same coveted traits that drove foot binding in China for thousands of years. Ferragamo is one of the biggest names in women’s shoes. Some have speculated his wedges were inspired by chopines, but few realize he was genuinely interested in women’s comfort, Semmelhack said. “With the wedge, he says he was trying to make an orthopedic shoe. He was attempting to offer women support all along the instep of their foot. He took courses in biology and the structure of the human foot,” she said. “He was trying to make a very comfortable, fashionable shoe and it just so happened he also created a fashion craze.”

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland plans to celebrate its 15th birthday with a look back at the year rock’s king turned 21. An exhibit of photos taken of Elvis Presley in 1956 by Alfred Wertheimer will open Sept. 13 at the hall. The hall said Tuesday that the pictures offer a record of a defining period for rock and roll’s most enduring figure. They show Presley in public and in private as he started to break through nationally. The rock hall says visitors also will see a new display of nearly 30 Presley artifacts on loan from the Graceland Archives. They include a shirt and belt the singer wore for 1970 rehearsals, and a Memphis, Tenn., proclamation for a 1961 Elvis Presley Day.

LOW CLUB Cy says he’s such a pessimist that he doubts the sincerity of other pessimists; he wasn’t willing to assume that West had the ace of hearts. After Cy drew trumps, he led a club from his hand. If East had the king, West would surely hold the ace of hearts. Cy’s play was rewarded: West took the king and shifted to a heart – king, ace – but the Cynic won the heart return, took the queen of clubs, led a trump to his hand and threw dummy’s last two hearts on the A-J of clubs.

ANSWER: East in today’s deal raised to two diamonds because the vulnerability was threatening.

Your home and family may undergo some unexpected alterations but do not let these added responsibilities cause you to miss out on an important opportunity. Honesty will play an important role in whatever you do or say. Be true to yourself and to the ones you love. Your numbers are 2, 9, 23, 27, 29, 33, 41 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don’t crowd your day or try to do too much. It’s better to focus on what’s most important and leave everything else for later in the week. Right now, money matters, contracts and paperwork need your attention. ★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Keeping an open mind and a watchful eye will help you get ahead. A pragmatic approach to work and dealing with coworkers will help you understand what everyone around you is up against. Short business trips will give you a push in the right direction. Pace your day and everything will fit. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Lay your cards on the table. Once everyone understands where you are coming from and what you are trying to accomplish, you can get the help you need to be successful. Love is highlighted. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): You have to watch what you say and do at home and with family. Emotions will be running high, so put in extra effort, listen to the concerns being made and accommodate others. ★★★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Read between the lines and look for any sign of false information. Uncertainty will prevail. Concentrate on learning and sorting through all the existing possibilities so you can make decisions that will not bring you down. ★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Favors will be granted if you have your plans well laid out for everyone with potential to contribute. A proactive, progressive approach to whatever you do will bring good results. Don’t sit around pondering – just do it. ★★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don’t get all bent out of shape if someone doesn’t want to do the same things you do. Plan to go it alone if you must. You stand to make new friends who will enrich your life. Added responsibilities at work will lead to perks that are worth your while. ★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Avoid emotional conversations with partners or family members who aren’t likely to be rational. Focus on your own interests and creative endeavors. Trying to push others will be futile. However, a little pampering can’t hurt. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Behind the scenes activity will bring the greatest rewards. Don’t overanalyze a situation you face regarding learning, publishing or travel. A change may appear negative but in time it will turn in your favor. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t take what others say to heart; favor your own plan over what someone else wants you to do. Travel should be postponed until you are in a better position to learn from the experience. Being ready is half the battle. ★★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t let someone else run the show when you know exactly what needs to be done to be successful. There is money heading your way and the chance to change your life if you don’t let your emotions get the better of you. ★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Be careful not to let your heart rule your head. A problem between a personal and a professional partner you have will surface. Don’t take sides or you will lose. Step back and let everyone fight his or her own battles. ★★★★★

BRIDGE As you’d expect, Cy the Cynic admits to a pessimistic streak. It often serves him well at a tough contract. In a team match, both Souths landed at four spades on identical auctions, and West led two high diamonds. At one table South ruffed, drew trumps and led a heart to dummy’s king. South was optimistic that West, who had opened, would hold the ace, but East produced the ace and returned a heart. South won and let the queen of clubs ride, but West took the king, and the defense cashed a heart.

Major melodrama Bizarre penalty grounds Johnson

Kaymer tops Watson in PGA playoff SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (AP) – Martin Kaymer won his first major Sunday in a PGA Championship that will be remembered as much for the guy who tied for fifth. The final stroke of this most bizarre major was Kaymer tapping in from 2 feet to win a three-hole playoff over Bubba Watson. Equally significant was the 4iron that Dustin Johnson gently placed in the sand behind his ball on the final hole of regulation at Whistling Straits, unaware that he was in one of more than 1,000 bunkers that litters this lunarlike landscape. Johnson grounded his club, thinking it was grass that had been killed under a week’s worth of foot traffic. Fans were packed so tight around him that he never gave it another thought. He missed the 7-foot par putt to seemingly slip into a threeman playoff with Kaymer and Watson. But the two-shot penalty turned his 71 into a 73, and instead of going to a playoff for redemption from his U.S. Open meltdown, Johnson tied for fifth and headed home. The 25-year-old German holed a 15-foot par putt on the 18th hole in regulation for a 2under 70 to join Watson (68) at 11-under 277. One shot behind in the playoff, Kaymer made another 15-foot putt for birdie on the par-3 17th, then watched Watson implode. Watson went from the right rough into the water, then over the green into a bunker. His bunker shot hit the flag, and he tapped in for double bogey.

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (AP) – Dustin Johnson turned his pencil upside down and began erasing his scorecard. He’d already given one major championship away. He never got a chance to finish this one. Johnson was knocked out of the playoff at the PGA Championship on Sunday after he was penalized two strokes for grounding his club in a bunker he didn’t even realize existed. Instead of 71 to join Martin Kaymer and Bubba Watson in the three-hole playoff, he changed his score from a 5 to a 7 and signed for a 73 to tie for fifth. “I don’t know if I can describe it,” said Johnson, who showered quickly and was on his way to the parking lot before Kaymer and Watson finished their first hole. “If it was up to me, I wouldn’t have thought I was in a bunker. But it’s not up to me.” It was the cruelest ruling at a major since Roberto de Vicenzo accidentally signed for a higher score at the 1968 Masters, and the victory went to Bob Goalby. The 26-year-old Johnson was the third-round leader at the U.S. Open, only to have a complete meltdown Sunday and shoot 82. “Walking up and seeing AP the shot, never once did it Martin Kaymer of Germany holds the Wanamaker Trophy after nipping Bubba cross my mind it was in a Watson in a three-hole playoff at the PGA Championship on Sunday at Whistling sand trap,” Johnson said of Straits in Haven, Wis. his lie on No. 18.

Harvick passes Hamlin, holds on to win BROOKLYN, Mich. (AP) – He already had horsepower, handling and the points lead. Now Kevin Harvick has a win this season at a track other than Talladega or Daytona. Harvick passed Denny Hamlin with 11 laps to go Sunday, then held on to win the NASCAR Sprint Cup series race at Michigan International Speedway. It’s yet another sign that Richard Childress Racing is back after a disappointing 2009, and Harvick is the championship favorite with only three more races left before the Chase. “Everybody was embarrassed last year, and we’ve really been running pretty well since probably the last six or eight weeks of last year,” said Harvick, who formally clinched a spot in the Chase. “It didn’t just happen today.” Harvick’s No. 29 team gambled by staying on the track instead of making a pit stop during a late caution. It paid off with Harvick’s third win of the season and his first this year on a non-restrictor plate track. The victory was another significant step in the resurgence of

Kevin Harvick celebrates after winning the NASCAR Cup Series event at Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn, Mich., on Sunday. Richard Childress Racing – and it came at a track where RCR typically hasn’t been very strong. “Somebody’s got to beat Jimmie (Johnson) this year, and it might as well be RCR,” Childress said. Hamlin finished second, followed by Roush Fenway Racing drivers Carl Edwards, Greg Biffle and Matt Kenseth.

Team owner Jack Roush was back at the track this weekend, days after his release from a hospital following serious injuries in a plane crash. “It’s great,” Edwards said. “We really wanted to get a win for him today, but that’s a strong performance for us.” Edwards has finished seventh

or better in six straight races and he likes his chances going into the Chase. But nobody has been as consistent as Harvick this season. “I really don’t see how he can’t be, really, the favorite going into it,” Hamlin said. With the Chase looming, Hamlin acknowledged that his Joe Gibbs Racing team is lagging behind Harvick and RCR. It was a rough day for several Chase contenders. Kurt Busch blew an engine, Mark Martin damaged his car early and spent most of the afternoon running outside the top 30, and Jeff Gordon was in the top 10 when he had a flat tire with 47 laps to go. Gordon finished 27th, Martin finished 28th and Busch finished 40th. Ryan Newman and Joey Logano tangled on the track, then had to be separated by NASCAR officials after the race. “He races me way too hard, he races everybody too hard,” Logano said. “I’m not the only one that complains about it every week.” Newman was not available for comment.

HIT AND RUN

here have you gone Stan Smith, Jimmy Connors, John McEnroe, Michael Chang, Jim Courier, Pete Sampras and Andre Agassi? I ask that question because each of those U.S. men’s tennis stars spent plenty of time ranked in the ATP Top 10 computer rankings. That’s a status no American male currently holds in the ATP ratings. How the mighty have fallen. When Andy Roddick dropped from No. 9

to No. 11 last week, it marked the first time since the computer ratings began in 1973 that the U.S. did not have at least one ranked man. Frankly, U.S. men’s tennis has simply been rank in recent seasons. Amazingly, American men have gone 27 straight Grand Slam tournaments without a singles title. Roddick’s 2003 U.S. Open crown represents the most recent major breakthrough for the American lads. I don’t see that drought ending anytime soon.

Top-ranked Rafael Nadal and No. 2 Novak Djokovic are in their prime, while No. 3 Roger Federer remains a consistent Grand Slam contender. No. 4 Andy Murray and No. 5 Robin Soderling are young guns on the cusp of major championship success. As for American men, Grand Slams and Top 10 rankings appear out of reach for the foreseeable future.

Ben Roethlisberger might not take another snap at Heinz Field until his suspension for offthe-field behavior ends in October. The NFL told the Pittsburgh Steelers that the quarterback could play in all of their preseason games before his suspension begins, but that doesn’t mean the team plans to let him. Roethlisberger never warmed up, put his helmet on or stepped into the huddle on a rainy Saturday night as the Steelers beat the Detroit Lions 23-7 in a preseason game. Because coach Mike Tomlin planned to play his starters only eight to 12 snaps, or about as long as the defensive regulars were in the game, he started Byron Leftwich and gave Roethlisberger the night off. Roethlisberger lobbied to get in the game, but Tomlin had already made up his mind. “Ben is going to have opportunities to play in the preseason,” Tomlin said. “But we wanted to get our other QBs plenty of work.”

U.S. beats France in first hoops exhibition game

Glaus, Braves pound Dodgers THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ROCKIES 6, BREWERS 5

ATLANTA – Troy Glaus hit a three-run homer and finished with four RBIs to lead Atlanta to a 13-1 rout of the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday. Alex Gonzalez also drove in four runs for the Braves, who improved the majors’ best home record to 4116. Jair Jurrjens (5-4) gave up one run in seven stellar innings. Atlanta matched its season high with 16 hits and scored its most runs since a 13-1 win over Arizona on May 16. Vicente Padilla (6-4) gave up a season-high eight earned runs in 41⁄3 innings. His ERA rose from 3.32 to 3.96.

DENVER – Troy Tulowitzki rescued Colorado with a game-ending RBI single after Milwaukee tied it with two unearned runs in the ninth. Center fielder Dexter Fowler, a defensive replacement in the eighth, initially kept the Brewers at bay when he leaped to rob Chris Dickerson of a homer leading off the ninth against Huston Street. But the Brewers loaded the bases with two outs after Street hit Rickie Weeks with a pitch. Second baseman Clint Barmes dropped Corey Hart’s popup for an error, letting in a pair of runs to tie it at 5.

NATIONALS 5, DIAMONDBACKS 3

PADRES 8, GIANTS 2 SAN FRANCISCO – Yorvit Torrealba homered and Miguel Tejada hit a two-run single to back Wade LeBlanc, and the first-place San Diego Padres took a key series from the San Francisco Giants with an 8-2 victory Sunday. Tony Gwynn Jr. and Everth Cabrera also singled in runs in San Diego’s four-run second as San Diego moved 31⁄2 games ahead of the Giants in the NL West.

CUBS 9, CARDINALS 7 ST. LOUIS – Derrek Lee homered his first two at-bats, helping Chicago pummel Kyle Lohse and knock St. Louis out of first place in the NL Central. Ryan Dempster (11-8) won his third straight start for the Cubs, who have won only four of 18 but took two out of three against a team that had grabbed the division lead with a three-game sweep at Cincinnati. The Cubs won consecutive games for the first time since July 23-24 against the Cardinals at home. St. Louis slugger Albert Pujols became the first player to hit 30 homers in his first 10 seasons when he belted a drive to straightaway center in the first. The Cardinals trail Cincinnati by one game after the Reds beat the Marlins 2-0.

REDS 2, MARLINS 0 CINCINNATI – Miguel Cairo hit a two-run homer and Homer Bailey filled in admirably for the suspended Johnny Cueto, throwing six impressive innings to help Cincinnati complete the three-game sweep. The Reds bounced back from getting swept by the Cardinals in their showdown series earlier in the week. Cueto got a seven-game suspension for kicking Cardinals during a brawl on Tuesday. Cairo connected for his fourth homer in the sixth inning against Anibal Sanchez (9-8), who yielded five hits in six innings. Bailey (2-2) was activated off the disabled list and allowed only three hits, retiring the last 10 batters he faced.

WASHINGTON – Ian Desmond hit a tiebreaking single in the seventh inning, sending the Nationals to the victory. With the game tied at 3, Adam Kennedy led off the seventh with a single off Jordan Norberto (0-2). He advanced on pinch-hitter Alberto Gonzalez’s sacrifice and, after Roger Bernadina popped out, Desmond singled to right for the lead. The hit broke a scoreless streak of 172⁄3 innings by the Diamondbacks bullpen. Washington’s Stephen Strasburg, coming off the shortest start of his brief career, departed after five innings with the game tied at 3. The right-hander’s throwing error in the second led to two unearned runs.

ASTROS 8, PIRATES 2 HOUSTON – Pinch-hitter Pedro Feliz hit a two-run double in Houston’s four-run sixth inning and the Astros extended Pittsburgh’s skid to seven games. Hunter Pence and Chris Johnson had three hits apiece for Houston, which trailed 2-1 after five innings. Jeff Keppinger had two RBIs.

ROYALS 1, YANKEES 0 KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Bryan Bullington, the No. 1 overall draft pick in 2002, threw eight crisp innings for his first major league win, leading the Kansas City Royals to a 1-0 victory over the New York Yankees on Sunday. Bullington (1-2) allowed two hits, walked one and struck out five to outpitch A.J. Burnett (9-10), who yielded four hits and one run in eight innings. Joakim Soria finished the two-hitter, extending his club record with his 26th consecutive save. Alex Rodriguez, who homered in his final three at-bats Saturday night, slammed a Bullington pitch to deep center leading off the second inning, driving Gregor Blanco almost to the wall. But A-Rod went down quietly the rest of the way.

TWINS 4, ATHLETICS 2 MINNEAPOLIS – Kevin Slowey held Oakland without a hit for

seven innings before reliever Jon Rauch gave up the no-hit bid in the eighth as the Twins finished their fifth series weep. Slowey (11-5) combined with Jon Rauch, Jesse Crain and Matt Capps to limit Oakland to three hits, while Jason Kubel drove in the first run for Minnesota and Jim Thome homered for a team that will open a key AL Central series against the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday. The Twins (68-50) also moved 18 games over .500, their best record in nearly two years. Vin Mazarro (6-5) was effective for Oakland, limiting the Twins to two runs – one earned – on seven hits in six-plus innings. The A’s have now lost five of their past six.

RAYS 3, ORIOLES 2 ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – Jeremy Hellickson threw six sharp innings to become the first Tampa Bay pitcher to win his first three major league starts. Hellickson (3-0) allowed one run and three hits, and has given up three runs and nine hits over 20 innings in the majors. Carl Crawford homered and drove in two runs to support him.

BLUE JAYS 4, ANGELS 1 ANAHEIM, Calif. – Ricky Romero pitched seven solid innings one day after signing a multiyear contract extension, and Adam Lind homered to lead the Blue Jays. Romero (10-7) allowed six hits, struck out four and walked three. The only run off the left-hander came in the fifth, when Mike Napoli hit his 19th homer, one shy of last season’s total. Kevin Gregg struck out the side in the ninth for his 27th save in 31 chances.

RANGERS 7, RED SOX 3 ARLINGTON, Texas – C.J. Wilson dominated into the eighth inning and the AL West-leading Rangers used small ball to go ahead before Michael Young’s big hit against Boston. Young hit a three-run homer in the seventh off Manny Delcarmen to make it 5-0.

TIGERS 13, WHITE SOX 8 CHICAGO – Johnny Damon hit a go-ahead, two-run triple in the eighth inning, Jhonny Peralta homered twice and the Tigers rallied to beat the White Sox. Miguel Cabrera and Ryan Raburn also connected for the Tigers, who won for only the third time in 16 road games. Detroit also snapped a string of 10 straight road series losses.

INDIANS 9, MARINERS 1 CLEVELAND – Travis Hafner came off the disabled list to hit a grand slam, Michael Brantley drove in three runs and the Indians scored seven times in the seventh inning.

Boris Diaw scored 15 points for France, which surrendered a 16-4 run early in the third quarter after staying close with the Americans in the first half. “The second half I just thought we just settled down,” U.S. coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “You don’t have to be perfect. Every shot you take doesn’t have to go in.” The Americans leave today for Madrid, where the schedule gets tougher. They face Lithuania and defending world champion Spain while there, then travel to Athens for a game against Greece. “We left off on a good note,” guard Derrick Rose said. The opener of a doubleheader at Madison Square Garden was the first international game for much of the U.S. roster. The Americans will send a young team to Turkey after all 12 players from the 2008 Olympic gold medalists decided to take the summer off. France is also shorthanded this summer. Its best player, Tony Parker, sat courtside along with wife Eva Longoria Parker and another French player, new Knicks forward Ronny Turiaf. Joakim Noah, also sitting out, also attended the game. The French still have NBA players such as Diaw and Nicolas Batum, who scored 11.

U.S. trims roster to 13 by cutting Green, McGee NEW YORK (AP) – The United States reduced its roster to 13 players Sunday, cutting Jeff Green and JaVale McGee. USA Basketball made the moves before it beat France 86-55 in an exhibition game at Madison Square Garden. Cutting McGee leaves Tyson Chandler as the only true center on the American roster. Neither Green nor McGee played in the U.S. scrimmage against China on Saturday. USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo then informed them of the decision Sunday morning. “They were gracious, they understood, they appreciated the opportunity, and I don’t care how long you’ve been in the game, whenever you’re telling a player on any level that they’re not going to be with you – I hate to use the word cut – that’s still tough, but they handled it very well,” Colangelo said. “I told them in case something happens they may get a phone call.” The Americans will travel with 13 when they leave today. They must cut one more before the world championships start Aug. 28 in Turkey. Oklahoma City’s Russell Westbrook and Minnesota forward Kevin Love played the fewest minutes Sunday, not entering until the fourth quarter.

FHP: Haslem cited after traffic stop MIAMI (AP) – The Florida Highway Patrol says Miami Heat forward Udonis Haslem was arrested on a drug charge following a Sunday afternoon traffic stop in Miami-Dade County. FHP spokesman Sgt. Mark Wysocky said Haslem, 30, and a passenger were both cited. Wysocky said he expected that the charge would be related to marijuana possession. A full release was expected from FHP later Sunday evening. Haslem has spent all seven of his NBA seasons with the Heat.

Chicago White Sox center fielder Andruw Jones waits for the ball to come off the wall during the eighth inning of Sunday’s game in Chicago. The hit was good for a two-run triple by Detroit’s Johnny Damon. The Tigers pounded the White Sox for a 13-8 victory.

NEW YORK (AP) – Even the old guy found something new in the young Americans’ debut. “First time I’ve been in the Garden and the people have been cheering for me,” Chauncey Billups said. Billups scored 17 points, nine in an early third-quarter flurry that broke open the game, and the United States beat France 86-55 on Sunday in its only home exhibition before the world championships. Rudy Gay had 19 points to lead the Americans, who started slowly in their first tuneup before running away from the French in the second half. Billups, one of the few players on the roster with international experience, made three 3-pointers while playing just 15 minutes. The 33-year-old Billups, who played for the U.S. in the 2007 Olympic qualifier, expected some nerves from a roster that includes five 21year-olds. “Now you’re really playing a real game,” he said. “You’re on TV and it doesn’t mean that much but internally it does because we’re trying to work toward something.” Kevin Durant added 14 points and eight rebounds for the Americans, who open the world championships on Aug. 28 against Croatia.

KANG WINS U.S. WOMEN’S AMATEUR

---

CHARLOTTE (AP) – Danielle Kang’s 4-foot putt on the next-to-last hole in the U.S. Women’s Amateur on Sunday gave her a 2 and 1 match-play victory against Jessica Korda. Kang had led deep into the second round during the final at Charlotte Country Club. But she conceded the lead when she ran into bunker trouble on the 30th hole. Korda took the lead for the first time when her third shot reached within a foot and Kang’s fourth shot stuck in the rough. Kang squared the match three holes later with a 5-foot par putt. She retook the lead on the 34th hole, when she converted for par and Korda missed a putt from at least 10 feet. Kang and Korda, each 17, were vying for their first U.S. Amateur title. Sunday marked the third straight match in which Kang, the women’s amateur medalist a year ago, fended off a rally during the final three holes.

Cromers capture Colonial Country Club member-guest ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

THOMASVILLE – Terry Cromer and Mike Cromer conquered Colonial Country Club for a two-stroke championship flight victory in the 2010 member-guest tournament that ended on Sunday. The Cromers carded 66-65–131 to nip H.E. Barnes and Ed Barnes for the crown. Chuck Thrift and Andy Shaw placed third at 70-65– 135, followed by Herb Young Jr.-Ken Dennis at 66-71–137 and Brian Hallman-Jonathan Partee at 71-73–144.

Third-rounder leader Watney implodes with 81 SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (AP) – After a shaky start, one click pushed Nick Watney over the edge. The 29-year-old leader after 54 holes of the PGA Championship squandered an early three-stroke lead but was still tied when a photographer’s camera snap on his backswing on the par-3 seventh unnerved him and sent his tee shot wayward into Lake Michigan. Watney went on to card bogey or worse on five of the next eight holes and finished with an 81, the highest score ever by a 54-hole leader in PGA Championship

history dating to the start of stroke play in 1958. Watney, known by his college buddies as “Rube” after a character in “Major League II” because he’s so polite to seniors, was the only golfer who had a chance to fire in the 60s for all four rounds heading into Sunday’s play. He passed 70 before finishing the 15th. Watney’s new caddie, Chad Reynolds, kept pushing him to stay positive and eventually the two-time winner on tour broke through with birdies on 16 and 17 to finish at 4-under 284.

San Francisco 49ers fullback Jehuu Caulcrick is wrapped up by Colts defensive tackle Fili Moala in the third quarter of Sunday’s preseason game in Indianapolis. The 49ers defeated the Colts 37-17.

Colts’ miscues help 49ers rally for win INDIANAPOLIS (AP) – Colts quarterback Peyton Manning made things look easy Sunday. Sixteen plays, 10 points, take a breather. Everyone else found out how tough the NFL really can be when you’re not the four-time league MVP – even if it is only the preseason. Running back Michael Robinson fumbled on the 49ers first play, David Carr was sacked three times and the San Francisco receivers struggled to hold onto Alex Smith’s passes. Fortunately for San Francisco, Manning’s backup, Curtis Painter, played even worse. The 49ers took advantage of Painter’s three interceptions and a botched handoff late in the first half, scoring 34 straight points to rally for a 37-17 victory at Indy. Manning was in midseason form, going 8 of 10 for 91 yards and leading the Colts to scores on their first two drives just minutes after accepting the MVP trophy. Smith, who finally emerged last season as the quarterback the 49ers expected, was 3 of 9 for 37 yards and managed only two first downs. Carr, like Manning and Smith was a No. 1 pick in the draft, finished 9 of

11 for 98 yards with one TD, but was sacked three times and nearly a couple of more – reminiscent of his early days in Houston. Then there was Painter, whom Colts fans booed mercilessly after he made his NFL debut in December’s loss to the Jets. He was 9 of 19, recovered one fumble, had one tackle and endured even more boos from the half-full stadium just before halftime. The 49ers actually had more return yards on Painter’s interceptions (111) than Painter threw for (64), and, as Caldwell, noted, it wasn’t all Painter’s fault. “I thought we were tough physically and mentally and we ran to the ball,” 49ers coach Mike Singletary said. “I thought the guys did a good job overall.” Clearly, this was not what the Colts wanted to see. Then again, Indy has never made preseason games a priority. Six starters including Pro Bowlers Dallas Clark, Dwight Freeney, Bob Sanders and Jeff Saturday – did not play on Sunday. Coach Jim Caldwell yanked most of his other starters, along with Manning, after just two series.

Panthers’ Jarrett slimmer, fitter, more focused SPARTANBURG, S.C. (AP) – Dwayne Jarrett laughed Sunday when told he’s the same age as Carolina rookie teammate Brandon LaFell, fully aware of the implications. At 23, LaFell is considered the future of the Panthers’ receivers. At 23, the bust label is gaining steam for Jarrett after three ineffective seasons that have produced as many arrests as touchdown catches. Only Jarrett on Sunday looked and sounded like a different person. He talked of how he’s finally matured, slimmed down, got fit, is comfortable with the offense and not ready to concede the open starting job to LaFell or anybody else. “I just wasn’t aware. It was all a part of growing up and becoming a pro,” Jarrett said. “I didn’t quite fully understand that, what it took. The offseason workouts, watching your diet and the little things, the details of becoming a pro. Once I got it, I took it and I ran

with it.” The 6-foot4 Jarrett has had a good training camp. Down 9 pounds to 209, he looks Jarrett quicker, yet still has the size to make difficult catches in traffic. While he was chastised by coaches early in camp for running the wrong route, those mistakes are less routine nowadays. But perhaps most significantly, Jarrett seems to be taking things more serious after spending the past three seasons playing only 29 games with 33 catches and one touchdown. It’s what the Panthers expected three years ago when they took the then20-year-old with a secondround pick in 2007 and then cut Keyshawn Johnson days later. Jarrett was fresh off setting the Southern California career record with 41 touchdowns in only three seasons. He was supposed to be the big, possession receiver oppo-

site the small and speedy Steve Smith. Only Jarrett wasn’t ready for the NFL. He would get jammed at the line of scrimmage and struggled to learn the playbook as a rookie. Jarrett was inactive in nine games and caught six passes. He topped it off in the offseason by getting arrested for driving while impaired. Jarrett kept finding the inactive list over the next two seasons, too. He caught just 10 passes in 2008 and 17 last season. Jarrett still faces a difficult challenge, and a roster spot isn’t even guaranteed. The Panthers took LaFell and Armanti Edwards in the third round of the draft. Kenny Moore and Wallace Wright have spent time with the starters as Smith remains sidelined with a broken arm. Jarrett, who had one catch for 7 yards against Baltimore last week, is expected to start in Saturday’s preseason game against the New York Jets.

Dixon remains perfect in 2010 NHRA Top Fuel finals BRAINERD, Minn. (AP) – Top Fuel points leader Larry Dixon remained perfect in final-round appearances in 2010 with his victory Sunday at the NHRA Nationals on Sunday. Dixon improved to 9-0 in final rounds

and 4-0 against Cory McClenathan this season with a 3.786-second pass at 312.28 mph to McClenathan’s 3.810 at 314.17. Bob Bode took the Funny Car. Jeg Coughlin won the Pro Stock and Andrew Hines took Pro Stock Motorcycle.

BROOKLYN, Mich. (AP) – Jack Roush was at the racetrack again Sunday, continuing his busy weekend just days after being released from the hospital. Roush, who lost vision in his left eye and sustained other significant injuries in an airplane crash last month, originally was expected to watch the Sprint Cup race at Michigan International Speedway from a trackside suite. But that plan didn’t last long, as he made his way out to pit road early in the race. Roush Fenway drivers Carl Edwards, Greg Biffle and Matt Kenseth welcomed their boss back by finishing third, fourth and fifth. “Glad to have Jack back here at the racetrack,” Edwards said. “I wish we could have gotten a win for him.” Roush Fenway Racing president Geoff Smith said the team was happy to have Roush back at the track. Roush, whose automotive company is based outside Detroit, made a surprise trip to pit road for qualifying Friday and hasn’t slowed down much since. And while Roush is facing plenty of followup medical appointments, he isn’t about to take a step back from spending time at the track. Despite the lifechanging nature of Roush’s injuries, his team does not see him slowing down at all.

Bodine pads Darlington resume DARLINGTON, S.C. (AP) – Experience usually rules at Darlington Raceway – and almost no truck racer had more experience there than Todd Bodine. Now, Bodine can add a Camping World Truck Series victory to his Darlington success. Bodine led the final 47 laps and held off pole-sitter Timothy Peters in the final two restarts to take the Too Tough To Tame 200 on Saturday night. “Knowing the little things that make you go fast and the little things that make you go slow. That means a lot,” Bodine said. “Experience is definitely a big part of running well at Darlington.” Bodine had made 38 starts at Darlington before this weekend, which included a Nationwide Series win in 2003 when he slid over the finish line after a last-lap tangle with Jamie McMurray. “After this race, it’s something like 6,700 laps I’ve run around here,” Bodine said. “That’s a lot of experience.” All of it helped him take the checkered flag in the series’ first visit to Darlington in six years. Bodine went the final 71 laps without pitting. He finished a half-second in front of Peters. Austin Dillon, the 20-year-old grandson of car owner Richard Childress, was fifth.

Smithfield, union bury the hatchet TAR HEEL (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The owner of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest hog slaughterhouse and the union it fought in one of the Southâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s longest-running labor disputes have buried more than 15 years of animosity. A year after their first labor contract took effect in the union-hostile region, the United Food and Commercial Workers and managers of the Smithfield Packing plant said theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve set aside bitterness in a rural region where jobs are scarce. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Surprisingly, for the 17 years of fighting we had, our relationship is as good as any place with Smithfield that we represent,â&#x20AC;? said Mark Lauritsen, the UFCWâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s international vice president for meatpacking plants. Two-thirds of the 32,000 employees in corporate parent Smithfield Foodsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; pork division are

covered by union contracts, the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual report said. The plant represents about 30 percent of the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worldwide slaughtering capacity. The company and the UFCW locked horns almost as soon as the plant opened in 1992. Employees complained the unrelenting pace led to repetitive-motion and cutting injuries, and about bosses who were strict. A truce was imposed in October 2008 by a federal judge in a settlement to the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lawsuit alleging the UFCWâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s years-long, multistate shaming campaign amounted to racketeering. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our focus is our customers and providing them with quality products. The UFCW leadership, our management team, and our employees are working well together,â&#x20AC;? the corporate parentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top human resources executive, Jeff Gough, said in an e-mail.

Connecticut tax credit aims to prod investment AP

A man holds a Blackberry at a market in Jakarta, Indonesia, Thursday. Indonesia is considering following the lead of India, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates in banning BlackBerry services

Threats of BlackBerry ban echo US encryption debate NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Threats by the governments of India, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia to shut down BlackBerryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s corporate email services reflect unease about a technology that the U.S. government also took a while to accept. The foreign governments are essentially a decade behind in coming to terms with encryption, a technology thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fundamental to the Internet as a medium of commerce. Encrypted communications are scrambled in a complex process to ensure that only the intended recipient can read them, using the proper digital key. This often takes place behind the scenes, without the user needing to do anything. When you submit your credit card number on a shopping site, the communication is encrypted. When you log in to your bankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s site, that connection is encrypted as well. Most companies use encrypted connections for their corporate e-mails, at least if employees need to access email outside the office through virtual private networks and other secure systems. One of the reasons Research In Motion Ltd. has been so successful with its BlackBerry phones is that it brought that level of security to email-capable phones.

Encryption, however, poses a problem for law enforcement officials. They can intercept encrypted messages, but canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t read them, unless the encryption is poor and agents have vast computer resources to use in unscrambling them. Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s RIM and other technology companies stress that they agree to legal requests from law enforcement, but in RIMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case, it canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t decrypt the messages on its corporate e-mail service. The U.S. State Department has waded into the issue, saying it hopes to broker a compromise that addresses the legitimate security concerns of some governments while ensuring that the free flow of information is not compromised. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s somewhat ironic, considering the U.S. restricts exports of encryption technology. The restrictions are light, but were quite comprehensive before 1999. The U.S. was concerned that it couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t easily spy on foreign countries that used encryption for military and government communications. In fact, until 1996, encryption at the level commonly in use today was classified as a munition. Companies that exported Web browsers and other software products had to make alter-

native versions with much weaker encryption for use abroad. In 2003, the Justice Department circulated draft legislation that would lengthen prison sentences for people who used encryption in the commission of a crime. Encryption defenders said it would do little to help catch terrorists, and it went nowhere. Since then, the U.S. government has more or less accepted that encryption is here to stay. Wholesale access by law enforcement to encrypted communications may not be possible, but BlackBerry e-mails are decrypted at the corporate servers, and can be obtained from there with a warrant. The RIM system doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to be designed to give a backdoor to anyone, not even to those in the company, said Maribel Lopez, a technology analyst and consultant. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not like RIM is sitting there with everybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s keys looking at everybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stuff,â&#x20AC;? she said. That doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give them much leeway in dealing with governments that want the keys. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is actually a bit of disaster for them right now because there doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to be any good compromising midpoint,â&#x20AC;? Lopez said.

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Finding investors in a weak economy is never easy, but John Marano hopes a new state tax credit will persuade some wealthy individuals to take a chance with his medical equipment manufacturing company. Marano, president and CEO of Vascular Insights, which manufactures and sells equipment to treat varicose veins, said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s looking to the new Connecticut tax credit to attract more investors and more money to the Madison company. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If it comes from one investor or multiple investors, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for funds,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re anxious to see how it works.â&#x20AC;? Connecticut joins other states with the tax break for so-called angel investors â&#x20AC;&#x201C; wealthy individu-

als who invest their own money in new companies, then cash in when the companies are sold or trade publicly. The newest credit is intended to spur investment, establish startup companies and lead to job growth. Connecticut has a significant number of angel investors living here and â&#x20AC;&#x153;when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to make decisions where to invest money, they will look at states with tax structures that encourage them,â&#x20AC;? said Joan McDonald, commissioner of the state Department of Economic Development. The income tax credit equals 25 percent of a cash investment, up to a maximum credit of $250,000. Connecticut is starting small, committing $6 million a year through 2013.

This June photo shows John Wright, Senior Vice President of Technology of Boots and Coots, at the site of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The man with pinpoint accuracy who is drilling the relief well meant to plug BPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s runaway well is looking forward to finishing his mission and celebrating with a cigar, a dinner party with his crew and a trip somewhere quiet to unwind with his wife. John Wright has never missed his target over the years, successfully drilling 40 relief wells that were used to plug leaks around the world.

Tea party activists rally on Arizona-Mexico border HEREFORD, Ariz. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Tea party groups converged on a remote section of the U.S.-Mexico border on Sunday to show support for Arizonaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s controversial new immigration law. The group was gathered about 70 miles west of Nogales on a private ranch where 15-foot steel posts are

set closely together to prevent people from crossing the border. Demonstrators attached hundreds of U.S. flags with messages to the posts and chanted, â&#x20AC;&#x153;U-S-A,â&#x20AC;? after a handful of spectators gathered on the Mexico side. One of the messages posted on the border wall read, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mister President ... Se-

Republican senator suggests mosque will be election issue WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A Republican senator is suggesting there could be political fallout from President Barack Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s remarks about building a mosque near the site of the Sept. 11 attacks.

Texas Sen. John Cornyn says Obama is â&#x20AC;&#x153;disconnected from mainstream Americaâ&#x20AC;? and that voters this fall will â&#x20AC;&#x153;render their verdict.â&#x20AC;? Cornyn leads the GOPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Senate campaign committee.

A federal judge has put on hold the most contentious provisions of the law, including a section that would require officers to check a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s immigration status while enforcing other laws if they had â&#x20AC;&#x153;reasonable suspicionâ&#x20AC;? that the person was in the country illegally.

People along the Gulf Coast arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only ones hoping he can make it 41-for-41. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anyone who has ever worked extremely hard on a long project wants to see it successfully finished, as long as it serves its intended purpose,â&#x20AC;? Wright, 56, who is leading the team drilling the primary relief well, said in a lengthy e-mail exchange with The Associated Press from the Development Driller III vessel.
