Jobless benefits provide critical safety net

TRIAD – The unemployment benefits extension bill being debated this week in Congress could

help as many as 146,000 North Carolinians, including thousands who are out of work in the greater High Point area. Jobless benefits not

only have been critical to keeping individuals and families afloat, but leading to spending at local businesses, said Alexandra Sirota, a policy ana-

lyst with the N.C. Justice Center in Raleigh. The Senate moved Tuesday toward approval of a bill to keep providing unemployment benefits

for up to 99 weeks to more than 5 million long-term unemployed in the United States. Analysts estimate

Wake Forest University School of Law Professor Suzanne Reynolds was named the law school’s executive associate dean for academic affairs. Reynolds takes over the position from Professor Ron Wright, who has served in the post for the past three academic years.

LAID-BACK CYCLIST

City pays top $$$ for site of future power substation BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

SONNY HEDGECOCK | HPE

Retired High Point police officer Keith Washington knows how to stay in shape and have fun too. He rides his recumbent bike at least 14 miles per day, and 40 miles is not out of his range. Here he travels along Johnson Street near Parris Avenue.

HIGH POINT – High Point leaders have signed off on the purchase of a future electric substation site despite complaints that the city was paying too much. The city will pay $110,000 for 10 acres on Jackson Lake Road for the project. City officials said a new substation is needed in that area – which is just east of the city limits – to relieve some of the load at existing substations nearby and provide backup to the existing facilities for maintenance and outage restoration. In addition, the city is obligated to serve the area when it is annexed, as expected, under a 1989 agreement with Duke Energy. Although the area is rural, future development is anticipated because of its proximity to multi-lane highways, such as Business Interstate 85 and the U.S. 311 Bypass. The City Council approved the purchase Monday by a 6-3 vote, with members Bill Bencini, John Faircloth and Mike Pugh opposed. The property, a mixture of pasture and crop land, has a tax value of $78,000 and an appraised value of $100,000. “It’s hard to envision paying

above the tax value in today’s market,” said Faircloth, who is a Realtor. Officials said the property had been on the market for about a year, and the seller’s asking price had been $200,000. “I think we’re being gouged,” said Pugh, also a Realtor. “We’ve paid too much for things in the past.” City staff tried to find other sites in the area but could find no available acreage with suitable topography with a willing seller. “If you’ve got another piece of property, we’ll take a look at it. We’ve got to deliver electricity in that area,” said Councilman Latimer Alexander. “Staff looked at a lot of different properties, and there were no willing sellers. We’d probably have a very difficult time finding land that wouldn’t exceed the cost of this because of the development costs that would come with it.” The amount of the contract approved by the council is still well under the $300,000 that has been budgeted for the project, according to the city. “Forty-one percent over and above the tax value – I just think that’s too much money,” said Bencini. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

Jamestown hits rewind on rezoning issue BY JORDAN HOWSE ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

JAMESTOWN – Residents of Jamestown, wearing their “Save the Forestdale neighborhood” buttons, finally won their battle over the rezoning of the neighborhood. After a public hearing, the Jamestown Town Council not only changed the zoning of the Forestdale, Knollwood and Potter neighborhoods back to single-family residential but also five other properties that they rezoned in 2009 for commercial use. “This Town Council is here for our benefit,” said Forestdale resident Steve Dalton. “We just wanted them to know how we felt, so

they could make the best decision for our neighborhood.” Last week, the residents of Forestdale and their supporters attended the Planning and Zoning Board meeting to ask planners to support rescinding the 2009 decision to zone the neighborhood to commercial use. After listening to residents, the board voted to recommend to the Town Council that the neighborhood be returned to its single-family residential status. “The people have a strong desire to rezone, and we have to represent the people,” said Matthew Johnson, planning director, at Tuesday’s Town Council meeting. Kerry Miller, who serves on the Planning and Zoning Board, said

the area originally was rezoned to be considered for future growth and development for Jamestown. Will Ragsdale, a Town Council member, said while growth should be considered, changing residential areas to commercial use does not have to be the way. Residents of the Forestdale neighborhood said they did not realize until recently that the city had rezoned parts of the neighborhood from single-family to commercial and mixed-use zoning, including multifamily residential. The city rezoned the portions of the neighborhood in July 2009 along with changes to the zoning district map and ordinance updates. “We failed to communicate,”

Hugh Cates, a Forestdale resident, said Tuesday. “I hope this will be a learned lesson for all of us.” “There was no covert mission,” Councilman Frank Gray said. “We are here to right a wrong.” Council member Georgia NixonRoney moved to revert all the properties that were rezoned in 2009 to their zoning prior to that vote. The motion passed unanimously and Mayor Keith Volz put on his “Save the Forestdale neighborhood” button. Residents say they are glad their hard work has paid off and plan to stay involved in the town’s government.

Local Elvis wins worldwide Fan’s Choice poll BY DIANNA BELL ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

WINSTON-SALEM – Stephen Freeman, a former Thomasville and High Point police officer turned Elvis impersonator, won a worldwide Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Fan’s Choice Poll that was announced July 14. This qualifies him for the Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest in Memphis, Tenn., Aug. 12. “I was always an Elvis fan,” Freeman said of becoming an impersonator. “It sprang from that. I started doing parties, and then it just grew from there.” Freeman has been impersonating ‘The King’ professionally for 13 years. “I’ve performed in Las Vegas, Wisconsin and on a cruise in the Bahamas,” Freeman said. Freeman also performs annually at the Barn Dinner Theater in Greensboro with sellout shows for “Christmas with Elvis.” His notoriety and large fan-base led thousands of voters to pick Freeman as their No. 1 choice for top Elvis tribute artist in the

June 1 to July 12 online poll. “I encouraged voting through a newsletter,” Freeman said. Fans were only allowed to vote once. The top 10 vote-getters were tracked among hundreds until the cut-off date, when Freeman was announced as the winner. This is one of multiple preliminary competitions around the world that secures a spot in the Ultimate contest, with the Elvis Tribute Artist Contests spanning as far as Japan. With these competitions as well as the holy grail in Memphis, judges critique the impersonators on their ability to most closely resemble “The King.” They make sure their costumes and songs match up to the correct era. Vocals, range, voice and dance moves also are major aspects that judges evaluate. The first Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest was held in 2007 with 24 contestants participating. Since then, the event has grown with more preliminary contests, making competition tougher. This is not Freeman’s first time competing in

ruled unanimously Tuesday in favor of Robert Lee Pastuer. He’s serving a life sentence after a jury convicted him last year. His wife, Narskelsky Pastuer, was found stabbed to death in

the Ultimate contest, though. Last year, he had a first place finish at a competition at Harrah’s Casino in Cherokee which qualified him for the Ultimate event. He made it through to the semi-finals there. Hopefully this previous experience com-

bined with his years of experience in performing will give him an edge on other competitors. And this year, Freeman plans on a better finish. “It would be an honor to place in the top three,” Freeman said. editor@hpe.com | 888-3537

2006 in her car trunk near Franklinton. Judge Henry Hight denied a request by Pastuer’s attorney to dismiss the murder charge after prosecutors presented evidence. The appeals court says

the evidence may raise a strong suspicion of guilt but fell short of what’s required to determine he committed the crime. Pastuer could be released from prison unless there’s another appeal.

Lexington man faces sexual assault charges BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

DAVIDSON COUNTY – A Lexington man faces sexual assault charges after an investigation by Davidson County authorities. Sheriff’s office detectives took a report on April 14 regarding a possible sexual assault of a juvenile. After an investigation, detectives have alleged that Edward Lee King Jr. committed sex acts upon a minor during 2007, according to the sheriff’s office.

Authorities listed the location of the alleged incident as Long Bow Drive in Lexington. King, 29, of Harris Road, was arrested on Friday and charged with one count of first-degree sexual offense with a child and one count of indecent liberties with a child, according to the sheriff’s office. Deputies said he was booked into the Davidson County Jail under a $200,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in Davidson County District Court on Aug. 24.

In an unrelated case, investigators charged a man with committing a robbery in the Tyro community. Deputies responded to a home on N.C. 150 South Monday to investigate a report involving stolen money. They were informed that Zachary David Myers had gone to a family member’s home to borrow money. After being refused, Myers allegedly picked up a purse and began to leave with it without permission of the owner, depu-

ties said. A scuffle ensued and Myers left with the purse, authorities said. Myers was later found with the stolen property at his Peartree Road residence and deputies returned the purse and most of the money it contained to the victim. Myers, 24, was charged with common law robbery and booked into the Davidson County Jail under a $40,000 bond, deputies said. pkimbrough@hpe.com 888-3531

the bill would lead to an injection of an estimated $33 billion into the $14.6 trillion U.S. economy during the next five months. In North Carolina, up to 146,000 people have been listed as having exhausted unemployment benefits since July 2, according to the N.C. Employment Security Commission. If the congressional bill passes the House and Senate and is signed by President Barack Obama, the legislation would restore payments to those who were cut off since July 2. The bill would extend expanded unemployment insurance benefits through Nov. 30, according to the office of Democratic Sen. Kay Hagan. The bill has been caught up in political haggling for weeks in Washington, D.C., over how to fund the unemployment compensation extension. One sign of the pressing need: There are almost five unemployed workers actively seeking a job nationally for each single

job opening, according to figures from May from the Economic Policy Institute in Washington. Between June of last year and this May, approximately $500 million in unemployment benefits was paid to out-of-work applicants in Guilford, Davidson and Randolph counties, according to the N.C. Justice Center. The payments during the period include $292.8 million in Guilford County, $118.2 million in Davidson County and $88.8 million in Randolph County. “Since the start of the recession, North Carolinians have received $2.2 billion in unemployment insurance payments. These benefits, in turn, have generated $3.7 billion in economic activity across all 100 of the state’s counties. Absent unemployment insurance payments, the state’s economic woes would be worse,” the center reports.

HUNTERSVILLE – A team of divers found the bodies Tuesday morning of the two youths who drowned while swimming Sunday on Lake Norman, authorities said. With family members watching from the shore, divers located the bodies of Derrick Alante Porter, 17, and Eric Christian Belin, 11. Fire and rescue personnel who were coordinating the search relayed the word to the family members on shore about 9 a.m., according to reports from the scene. Authorities have not said exactly where the bodies were found, but several reports indicate it was in the area where searchers had concentrated their efforts. The discovery came on the third day of searching by crews who combed miles of lakebed with sonar and divers. Authorities on Monday identified the boys as outof-state visitors, and released more details about how a swim near their boat turned deadly. Officials haven’t said whether they were wearing life jackets or not. Sunday’s drownings and other deaths this summer should warn everyone who rides in a boat or swims in a lake to always wear a life jacket, marine safety experts say. The two victims were visiting the Charlotte area, authorities say. They said Derrick Porter was from Chesapeake, Va., and Eric Belin was from South Carolina. The boys were swimming off a boat floating in the middle of the lake near Sam Furr Road and West Catawba Avenue with two other boys around 3 p.m., authorities said. 30007993

Ex-MI5 spy chief: No link between Iraq, 9/11 LONDON (AP) – The war in Iraq led to a loss of focus on the threat from al-Qaida, emboldened the group’s leader Osama bin Laden, and helped to breed a generation of homegrown terrorists, Britain’s former domestic spy chief told an inquiry Tuesday. Making the sharpest criticism so far aired in Britain’s inquiry into mistakes made in the Iraq war, Eliza ManninghamBuller, director of the MI5 agency between 2002 and 2007, said Britain’s government paid little attention to warnings that the war would fuel domestic terrorism. Manningham-Buller also said Iraq had posed little threat before the 2003 U.S.-led invasion, and insisted there was no evidence of a link between former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein and the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.

General Ban Ki-moon and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Talk of a 2014 date – which corresponds with the end of Karzai’s term – enables politicians to tell their war-weary publics that the war will not drag on indefinitely. It also sends a signal to the Afghans that the Western commitment to the country will extend beyond July 2011, when President Barack Obama says he will begin withdrawing troops. Nonetheless, it leaves open the question of whether the Afghans will be ready to manage their affairs. The international community supported Karzai’s 2014 goal and endorsed a phased-in transition for Afghan policemen and soldiers to take the lead in the country’s 34 provinces.

SAO PAULO – Hundreds of penguins that apparently starved to death are washing up on the beaches of Brazil, worrying scientists who are still investigating what’s causing them to die. About 500 of the black-and-white birds have been found just in the last 10 days on Peruibe, Praia Grande and Itanhaem beaches in Sao Paulo state, said Thiago do Nascimento, a biologist at the Peruibe Aquarium.

Spill chief says the capped well is holding up

AP

Sen. Carte Goodwin, D-W.Va., newly-sworn as the appointed successor to West Virginia’s Robert Byrd who died in June, provided the crucial vote for Senate Democrats to cut off a Republican delay on restoring unemployment benefits to millions.

Filibuster broken; jobless benefits may flow soon WASHINGTON (AP) – Senate Democrats broke through a stubborn Republican filibuster Tuesday and pressed to restart jobless benefits for 21⠄2 million Americans still unable to find work in the frail national economic recovery. The Democrats were victorious by the single vote of a new senator sworn in only moments earlier. Senators voted 60-40 to move ahead on the bill, clearing the way for a final vote in the chamber today. The recovery from the nation’s long and deep recession has produced

relatively few new jobs so far, and millions of people’s unemployment benefits began running out seven weeks ago as Congress bogged down in an impasse over whether the $34 billion cost of a fresh extension of benefits should be paid for with budget cuts or be added to the $13 trillion national debt. Democrats emphasized the plight of the unemployed and argued that putting money in the pockets of jobless families would also boost economic revival. “This bill is about jobs because unemployment

NEW ORLEANS (AP) – The government’s oil spill chief tried to tamp down fears Tuesday that BP’s capped well is buckling under the pressure, saying that seepage detected along the sea floor less than two miles away is coming from an older well no longer in production. Retired Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen also said at least five leaks have been discovered around the well machinery, but he dismissed them as “very small drips� – “not unlike an oil leak you might have in your car.� Over the past few days, since a 75-ton cap was placed over the mile-deep well to keep the oil bottled up inside, BP

and government engineers have been watching closely to see whether the well would hold tight or show signs of rupturing under the pressure. A rupture could cause a bigger and harder-tocontrol disaster. Allen has granted BP repeated 24-hour extensions to keep the cap in place, as long as the company monitors the well scrupulously. Meanwhile, the end game in the three-month crisis appeared to be drawing closer, with BP vice president Kent Wells saying the drilling of the relief well – necessary to permanently plug up the well – is on track.

Is your hearing current?

insurance goes to people who will spend it immediately,� said Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont. “That would increase economic demand. And that would help support our fragile economic recovery.�

LEONARD PITTS: Let them build the mosque. It’s the American way. TOMORROW

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

Funeral is not the place to criticize deceased U.S. Sen. Robert Byrd was a relic. He was also, at least for part of his life, a racist. And yes, even after “denouncing” the Klan, he filibustered the 1964 Civil Right Act – which makes you wonder if he really denounced the ideas of the Klan, or if he just publicly denounced the KKK for political reasons. So when The High Point Enterprise columnists Steve Bryant and Mike Hughes and guest columnist Tony Moschetti wrote pieces about Byrd following his death, they were partly right in doing so. Where they were not right was in their assertion that President Clinton was wrong for not taking Byrd to task for his racist past while speaking at his memorial service. There is a time and a place for everything, and a funeral is not the time and place to criticize the deceased. The reaction from the Right to President Clinton’s eulogy at Byrd’s memorial service says more about the Right than it does about Clinton or Byrd. It shows,

yet again, that the Far-Right in this country is so full of venom, hate and paranoia that even a eulogy becomes politics as usual. No one is promised tomorrow. We are all going to die. When we do – I say to Bryant, Hughes and Moschetti – hopefully our friends and families will remember us fondly and say nice things about us at our funerals and not take us to task for the bad stuff we did in our life. ... Hopefully. SCOTT STOVER High Point

Teachings of the Bible take precedence for Christians In response to Rich Pohlman’s letter of July 7 (“Catholic Church in U.S. has about 70 million members”), let’s compare his assertions to Scripture. To be a Christian, one must follow the teachings of the Bible.

In John 6:29, Jesus says, “This is the work of God, that ye believe on Him (Christ) whom He (God the Father) hath sent.” In Acts 16:30-31, in response to the question, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”, Paul and Silas answered, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.” There is no salvation by works in these verses. Jesus founded the church, the body of Christ, on Himself, not Peter, referring in Matthew 16:18 to Peter’s confession in verse 16. Peter also states this in I Peter 2:4-9. John 14:16 does not even refer to the Holy Ghost! Christians worship God alone, not relics, “saints” and all the other trappings of the Catholic Church. John is called “the Baptist,” not John the Catholic or charismatic or some other name. John preached the gospel of the kingdom as the forerunner of Christ. Today, fundamental, Bible-believing Baptists preach salvation by grace through faith in the death,

burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the message of the church age. According to an ex-priest, the Catholic Church has as many factions as the Baptists or any other group. Although Martin Luther is given credit for the Protestant Reformation, it actually started many years before that. By the way, Baptists aren’t Protestant. We were never part of the Catholic Church. Read the King James Bible, not some perversion thereof, and take what it says at face value – believe it literally, not what someone reads into it. RAY ALCON High Point

t was not news most of us were wanting to hear, because for many folks the new segment of the U.S. 311 Bypass can’t open too soon. Instead of the mid-summer opening that we had hoped for, the word now from the N.C. Department of Transportation is that the bypass route from U.S. 29/70 to Interstate 85 and on to its temporary terminus near Glenola in northern Randolph County probably won’t be open until November, at least. That news is disappointing because last fall and earlier this year, it appeared as though the $104 million construction project was ahead of schedule, had not been slowed by inclement weather and would be ready for opening this month. DOT officials told the Enterprise that the slowdown in construction now might be because the contractor needs crews to work on another project elsewhere. DOT officials also noted that even a November opening date would be earlier than the project’s contractual completion date, mid-May of next year. That’s really little consolation for those anticipating an opening this summer, and it also raises the question of why a contract will allow such an apparently long period of time for construction projects to be completed. Are DOT officials and professional staff allowing contractors too much time in the project contracts to complete construction? Can contractors be held to a shorter, but reasonable, timetable for completing work? Can contracts be drawn to include incentives for completing work early? We certainly don’t claim to know the ins and outs of highway construction, but we do wonder why if last fall and earlier this year officials were eyeing a possible opening this month that now there appears to be such uncertainty as to the project’s completion date. That’s also magnified by earlier statements that inclement weather was having little impact on construction. Although the end is coming, it’s still disappointing to those who’ve been waiting so long.

President’s magic words delay economic recovery

I

f you could spend vast amounts of other people’s money just by saying a few magic words, wouldn’t you be tempted to do it? Barack Obama has spent hundreds of billions of dollars of the taxpayers’ money just by using the magic words “stimulus” and “jobs.” It doesn’t matter politically that the stimulus is not actually stimulating and that the unemployment rate remains up near double-digit levels, despite all the spending and all the rhetoric about jobs. And of course nothing negative will ever matter to those who are part of the Obama cult, including many in the media. But, for the rest of us, there is a lot to think about in the economic disaster that we are in. Not only has all the runaway spending and rapid escalation of the deficit to record levels failed to make any real headway in reducing unemployment, all this money pumped into the economy has also failed to produce inflation. The latter is a good thing in itself but its implications are sobering. How can you pour trillions of dollars into the economy and not even see the price level go up significantly? Economists have long known that it is not just the amount of money, but also the speed with which it circulates, that affects the price level. Last year, the Wall Street Journal reported that the velocity of circulation of money in the American economy has plummeted to its lowest level in half a century. Money that people don’t spend does not cause inflation. It also does not stimulate the economy. The current issue of Bloomberg Businessweek has a feature article about businesses that are just holding on to huge sums of money. They say, for example, that the pharmaceutical company Pfizer is holding on to $26 billion. If so, there should not be any great mystery as to why they don’t invest it. With the Obama administration being on an anti-business kick, boasting of putting their foot on some business’ neck, and the president talking about putting his foot on another part of the anatomy, with Congress coming up with more and more red tape, more mandates and more heavy-handed interventions in businesses,

would you risk $26 billion that you might not even be able to get back, much less make any money on the deal? Pfizer is not unique. Banks have cut back on lending, despite all the billions of dollars that were dumped into them in the name of OPINION “stimulus.” Consumers have also cut back on spending. Thomas For the first time, more gold is Sowell being bought as an investment to ■■■ be held as a hedge against a currently non-existent inflation than is being bought by the makers of jewelry. There may not be any inflation now, but eventually that money is going to start moving, and so will the price level. Despite a big decline in the amount of gold used to make jewelry, the demand for gold as an investment has risen so steeply as to more than make up for the reduced demand for gold jewelry, and has in fact pushed the price of gold to record high levels. What does all this say? That people don’t know what to expect next from this administration, which seldom lets a month go by without some new anti-business laws, policies or rhetoric. When you hire somebody in this environment, you know what you have agreed to pay them and what additional costs there may be for their health insurance or other benefits. But you have no way of knowing what additional costs the politicians in Washington are going to impose, when they are constantly coming up with new bright ideas for imposing more mandates on business. There is no free lunch – and the biggest price of all is paid by people who are unemployed because politicians cannot leave the economy alone to recover, as the American economy has repeatedly recovered faster when left alone than when politicians decided that they have to “do something.” THOMAS SOWELL, a native of North Carolina, is a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305.

The problem is America’s lack of private sector jobs BY CHUCK BINO

T

7A

GUEST COLUMN

he Your View letter’s headline on July 5 was “Republicans deny jobless the benefits they need.� Factually, that is neither complete, nor accurate, as some Democrats agreed with the GOP against continuing jobless benefits without proper funding. The GOP thinks it can be done without unnecessarily increasing the national debt. Another half-truth accused the GOP of getting large contributions, while the writer failed to state that notable Democrats are at the top of the same lists. Our real problem is the lack of private sector jobs. Let’s consider how this might have happened. In the last century, Sam Walton advertised and boasted Wal-Mart goods as “Made in America.� That didn’t last long, because Americans wanted a really “good deal.� He agreed to imported products. Other retailers also imported and sold Reebok shoes at temporarily lower prices, followed by the demise of the U.S. shoe industry. It didn’t take very long for the public’s selfish, “bargain mentality� to affect textiles, steel, electronics, computers, and even food. If I knew, then, that paying a couple dollars more would keep me and my neighbors working,

---

I’d gladly have done the “right thing.� So, “we the people� are contributory to the loss of our domestic industries. A supporting problem is that we keep electing incompetent legislators, perpetual spenders, and entitlement pimps, who can’t grasp that “jobs� are their priority. The wrong thing is to “BandAid� the problem by perpetuating unemployment benefits, expanding government, or punishing success with increased taxes. Government must operate within its means, and not bail out business failure when the markets tend to repair themselves. Congress must attract and grow private business in the U.S. The Reagan team gave us the means to do that. This administration fails to learn the easy lessons from recent history. The secret to landing a job is to have better qualifications and more reasonable salary needs than your fellow job seekers. The ability to keep that job will require that one continue to be more productive than those who are willing to do the same job for lower wages. If not, one gets replaced. That’s quite an incentive! If you substitute the terms “product,� “quality� and “cost�

for “jobs,� “qualifications� and “wages,� the same “replacement phenomena� occurs with our commercial products regionally, nationally and globally. The same incentives are involved. This is not rocket science! Another writer railed against evil corporations who bribe Congress. But he failed to list the numerous unions and front organizations with the same bribery tactics. He extolled “we the people� as those whose work (taxes) bail out the banks, those who will “fix it.� Well, that will be hard to do without the employ of viable corporations, entrepreneurs and LLCs. Does he understand that many of us are invested in those same firms as stockholders and employees? So what to do? We can all demand and accept jobs with the government. We may survive for a while as a “service� economy. We’ll deliver mail to each other, prepare each other’s taxes and take turns driving ourselves on public transportation to and from our jobs at City Hall. Or “we the people� could learn from history, replace those who continue to wreck this economy, and hold responsible those in public and private sectors for their destructive deeds.

ust do it. For many years, I was anything but the personification of Nike’s slogan. I didn’t even began to grasp the true meaning of this powerful maxim until I attempted something so out of my comfort zone that the only motivation I could find was to consider it a leap of faith and “just do it.� That something, ironically enough, was applying for this job with the Enterprise. Reflecting on the immense transformation that both my writing skills and my self-image have undergone, I realize that failing to take advantage of an opportunity is the most damaging misdeed I can do to myself. One year ago, I was a closet writer who would not dare allow anyone to read any of my pieces that held more weight than personalized birthday cards or scholarly essays. One year ago, I didn’t have the guts to label myself as anything somewhat resembling a professional, most especially as something with a dauntingly purposeful tone like “the writer.� One year ago, I was a passive 17-year-old who had an abundance of passions, dreams and carefully thought-out goals. Yet I lacked one essential ingredient for achieving these goals: ambition. To a person without ambition, Mahatma Gandhi’s frequently quoted saying, “Be the change you want to see in the world,� could be subconsciously misinterpreted to mean “Desire to be the change you want to see in the world.� Anyone who has not achieved something as fulfilling as leading a nonviolent independence movement or founding a successful American shoe company might still firmly support these themes. However, “supporting� and “doing� are hardly synonymous.

At first, I was extremely apprehensive to begin work in a position where my TEEN VIEW personal thoughts Leslie Ann would be Blake available ■■■to the public on a monthly basis. I reassured myself by thinking, “Just do it. No one will read your articles anyway.� Little did I know that I would not only have loyal readers, but that these people would provide me with an overwhelming support that has instilled in me a desire to pursue writing professionally. As my class leaves for college in the coming month, and later as we search for jobs, find romance, start families, and try to be a source of change in the world, I pray that we will become not only passionate dreamers, but ambitious doers. Sometimes I still fall into the “supporting� category of people. I am still the queen of procrastination and second-guessing myself. Though thanks to the opportunity the Enterprise presented me with and the immensely supportive community response, the origins of the pressure I put myself under are quite different. I do not labor over each article for fear that my message or my grammar will be inadequate; I push myself out of a pure desire to make this column as inspiring and uplifting as I am capable of making it. My motivations for writing and for life itself have been completely revitalized. And it’s all because I just did it.

Judiciary panel OKs Elena Kagan for Supreme Court

AP

Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., (right) talks with ranking minority member Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., during a hearing of the Senate Judiciary Committee as they vote on the confirmation of Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan on Capitol Hill in Washington Tuesday.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Pushing toward an election-year Supreme Court confirmation vote, a polarized Senate Judiciary Committee Tuesday approved Elena Kagan to be the fourth female justice. Just one Republican joined Democrats to approve Kagan’s nomination and send it to the full Senate, where she’s expected to win confirmation within weeks. “Elena Kagan will be confirmed,” predicted Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., the Judiciary chairman. “She will go on the U.S. Supreme Court.” Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., broke with his

party to cast the sole GOP “yes” vote on President Obama’s nominee to succeed JusKagan tice John Paul Stevens, who retired in June. The vote was 13-6. “What’s in Elena Kagan’s heart is that of a good person who adopts a philosophy I disagree with,” Graham said. “She will serve this nation honorably, and it would not have been someone I would have chosen, but the person who did choose, President Obama, I think chose wisely.”

FDA panel: Study did not show benefit with Avastin WASHINGTON (AP) – Federal health advisers said unanimously Tuesday that a follow-up study of the Roche drug Avastin failed to show meaningful benefits for breast cancer patients. A Food and Drug Administration panel of experts voted 13-0 that the risks and side effects of Avastin outweighed its benefits when used alongside the chemotherapy drug docetaxel. The FDA in 2008 approved Avastin for breast cancer patients based on a trial showing it lengthened the amount of time until the disease worsened

by more than five months. As a condition of approval, Roche was required to conduct follow-up studies to further demonstrate the benefits of adding Avastin to conventional chemotherapy. But two follow-up studies recently submitted by the Swiss drugmaker did not show the same degree of delay in cancer progression as earlier studies. Patients taking Avastin did not show a significant improvement in life span, the gold standard of cancer treatment effectiveness. Additionally, patients taking Avastin reported significant side effects.

4 Massey foremen plead guilty in deadly mine fire CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) – Four men who worked as supervisors at a Massey Energy Co. coal mine where two men died in a conveyer belt fire pleaded guilty Tuesday to federal misdemeanor charges. Each man admitted during a hearing in Charleston federal court that he failed to lead his crew on a required escape drill from Massey’s Aracoma Alma No. 1 mine at various times in 2005 and 2006. Donald Hagy, Jr., 47, of Gilbert; Terry Shadd, 37, of Chapmanville; Edward R. Ellis, Jr., 38, of Justice; and Michael A. Plum-

ley, 38, of Delbarton, also agreed to give up state-issued certificates to work as underground mine foremen in West Virginia. Each faces up to a year in prison and a $100,000 fine. U.S. District Judge John Copenhaver Jr. ordered the men released on $10,000 bonds until their sentencing hearing Oct. 26. The charges stem from federal civil and criminal investigations into the Jan. 19, 2006 fire. Miners Don Bragg and Ellery Elvis Hatfield died after getting lost as they tried to flee from the sprawling underground Logan County mine.

GTCC on pace for record year ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

JAMESTOWN – As the deadline for fall semester registration approaches, Guilford Technical Community College’s enrollment is on a pace to reach a record of more than 15,000 students, according to GTCC officials. Alison Wiers, associate vice president of student learning and success, said the college should break the record enrollment of 13,520 last fall and 13,594

TUITION

–

Effective July 1, community college tuitions increased from $50 to $56.50 per credit hour for in-state students and from $241.30 to $248.50 per hour for out-of-state tuition.

for spring 2010. The final day for fall registration is Aug. 18, with classes beginning Aug. 22.

Wiers said the college has prepared for a 15 percent jump in enrollment over last fall’s registration. College officials have added orientation sessions to handle the growing numbers. “We have more than 11,000 students enrolled, about 27 percent over last year,” she said. “The 11,110 students registered through July 17 is a dramatic increase over the record pace of 8,739 during the same period a year

ago. Class offerings have been increased by 25 percent in all areas and we have expanded weekend and evening class offerings. We have had to hire additional faculty to fill the increased class schedules.” GTCC enrollment has increased for 13 consecutive years and more than doubled from 6,244 students. GTCC and other Triad community college officials say idle and underemployed workers are

enrolling at community colleges to improve their job skills and to seek new careers in growing industries despite tuition increases. Including enrollment for continuing education and basic skills classes, GTCC has a total of more than 40,000 students on campuses in Jamestown, High Point and Greensboro. GTCC has grown to become the fourth largest among 58 community colleges in the state.

GUILFORD COUNTY – Pleasant Garden Fire Department needs a fire truck and will soon have as much as $500,000 to spend for one. If the agency decides not to buy a brand new vehicle, there is another way to go to find a used one. County officials want to contract with GovDeals Inc., an online auction service, to help sell surplus goods. The network also is a source for good used equipment. The Guilford County Board of Commissioners will consider a $10,000 annual GovDeals contract Thursday during a 5:30 p.m. meeting in the Old Courthouse in Greensboro. GovDeals clients report that they receive 20 percent to 60 percent more for goods sold online than they ever received at a live public auction, according to the N.C. Association of County Commissioners. Motor homes, automobiles, fire trucks, jewelry and industrial equipment are among the items listed. Government agencies also use the website to sell confiscated items. The auction network has a current bidder’s base of 88,000. Buyers can search by zip code for wanted items. Clients can list their own goods for sale on a consignment fee basis. Although live traditional auctioning can be messy and costly – largely because goods must be moved to a central auction lot – Guilford County officials say they will continue to offer auction sales twice a year.

Candidate criticizes Obama over nuke waste WILMINGTON (AP) – A Republican candidate for the U.S. House said Tuesday that President Barack Obama’s attempts to shut down Yucca Mountain Nuclear Waste Repository endanger southeastern North Carolina. If the Yucca Mountain project in Nevada is shut down, spent nuclear fuel will have to be stored above ground on the Brunswick Nuclear Plant property near Southport, Ilario Pantano said during a news conference in Wilmington. He said it would be susceptible to hurricanes and too close to the Army’s Sunny Point ammunition depot. “Do you think it is safer for nuclear waste to be stored above ground in Brunswick County or buried deep in a mountain in the desert of Nevada?” Pantano said. Progress Energy has started construction of a storage facility for short-term storage. Calls to Progress Energy, which owns the nuclear plant, were not returned. Obama opposes the plan to bury the nation’s most radioactive spent nuclear fuel 90 miles northwest of Las Vegas. A Nuclear Regulatory Commission legal panel told the federal Department of Energy in June it can’t withdraw its application for the Yucca Mountain repository. The Obama administration has appealed the ruling. Pantano is taking on Rep. Mike McIntyre of Lumberton in the 7th Congressional District.

NC utilities will pay for promoting electric use RALEIGH (AP) – North Carolina electric utilities allowed to increase rates as energy efficiency programs cut usage won’t have free rein to boost sales with promotion campaigns, state regulators said. Shareholder-owned Progress Energy and Duke Energy will have to identify and track promotions that increase power demand, and the state Utilities Commission will calculate how much revenue the companies will have to relinquish, The News & Observer of Raleigh reported Tuesday. The commission imposed the requirement this month on Charlottebased Duke Energy after rejecting the company’s appeal. The commission adopted a similar standard for Raleigh-based Progress Energy last year. Increases in electric-

ity demand that are not prompted by a power company promotion – such as people buying higher-energy digital televisions – are not subject to the new policy. Power companies have been authorized to recover the lost sales, administrative costs and other costs of efficiency programs by increasing rates. The regulator’s decision comes as the power companies anticipate higher power demand as a result of plug-in electric cars. Electric cars need as much power to recharge batteries as a central air conditioner. Duke Energy and Progress Energy are working with the auto industry, local officials and universities to install a statewide network of about 350 recharging stations to help keep electric cars on the road.

Racial tensions roil at school board meeting RALEIGH (AP) – Protesters and police scuffled Tuesday at a school board meeting in North Carolina over claims that a new busing system would resegregate schools, roiling racial tensions reminiscent of the 1960s. Nearly 20 people were

‘Too many prayers were prayed. Too many lives were sacrificed. Too much blood was shed. Too many tears were shed. We can’t turn back now.’ William Barber NAACP leader arrested, including the Rev. William Barber, head of state NAACP chapter who was banned from the meeting after a trespassing arrest at a June school board gath-

ering. “We know that our cause is right,� Barber said shortly before police put plastic handcuffs on his wrists before the meeting started. Inside, more than a dozen demonstrators disrupted the meeting by gathering around a podium, chanting and singing against the board’s policies. After several minutes, Raleigh police intervened and asked them to leave. When they refused, the officers grabbed arms and tried to arrest the protesters. One child was caught in the pushing and shoving, as was school board member Keith Sutton, who was nearly arrested before authorities realized who he was. “Hey, hey, ho, ho, resegregation has got to go,� some protesters chanted. The Wake County School Board has voted multiple times over the last several months to scrap the district’s diversity policy, which distributed students based on socioeconomics and for years had been a model for other districts looking to

Several school board members elected last year have built a majority in favor of focusing on neighborhood schools. The board’s chairman, Ron Margiotta, said the panel would not be distracted in its effort to “provide choice and increased stability for families.� “This board does not intend to create high

Consolidating boatbuilder to add 350 workers in NC RALEIGH (AP) – A luxury yacht builder is getting a boost from North Carolina taxpayers as it consolidates two manufacturing plants and adds an expected 350 jobs in five years. A state incentives committee on Tuesday approved plans for Brunswick Corp. to re-

ceive up to about $3 million if it hires the workers and keeps them for 12 years. The company’s Hatteras Yachts plant in New Bern is ramping up employment again after sharp layoffs last year. Brunswick cut 330 workers in New Bern nearly 18 months

ago after shedding the same amount in August 2008 at factories in New Bern and Edenton. Brunswick said it will close its Cabo Yachts plant in Adelanto, Calif., by year end and move production to the New Bern factory, which now employs 280.

ear Abby: When I was a young teen, my mother gave me a copy of your booklet “What Every Teen Should Know.� She left it on my bed for me to read at my own pace, and let me know that I could come to her if I had any questions, when I was ready to ask them. For years that booklet served as a reference guide for me. I also lent it to many of my friends whose parents were not so forthcoming with this important information. Being informed and not believing urban myths made a big difference in our decisions – and we’re all doing well now. A decade later, I often work with teens who have received no comprehensive education about sex, drugs, or the impact of decisions they make during adolescence. Your booklet remains an important tool in these kids’ educations. I write to encourage all parents, grandparents and relatives of teens to keep a copy of this booklet handy – and to thank those who have already done so. – Kristen Woytonik, Dover, N.H. Dear Kristen: Thank you for your endorsement of my teen booklet. I am pleased that you

continue to find it useful. Today many young people engage in adult ADVICE activities at a much Dear earlier age Abby than the ■■■teenagers of previous generations. That’s why it is so important for parents to take the initiative and discuss alcohol, drugs, sex and FAMILY VALUES with their children well before nature takes over and they start experimenting. My teen booklet contains answers to commonly asked questions such as: How old must a girl be before she can get pregnant? Can a girl get pregnant the first time she has sex? What time of the month is a girl 100 percent safe? How old must a boy be before he can father a child? Another important topic covered is HOW TO AVOID DATE RAPE AND WHAT TO DO IF IT HAPPENS. To order “What Every Teen Should Know,� send your name and address, plus check or money order for $6 (U.S. funds) to Dear Abby, Teen Booklet, P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447.

Shipping and handling are included in the price. My teen booklet also contains information on contraception and sexually transmitted diseases and how to recognize them. It has been distributed in doctors’ offices and used to promote discussion by educators and religious leaders, and is often used by parents who find it difficult to discuss sex with their children. Dear Abby: My niece is being married – again. This will be No. 5. What kind of gift would you suggest? I am out of ideas, as I’m thinking she already has everything. The wedding is in a few months. Help! – Stumped in Reno Dear Stumped: After the second – or third – wedding, one would think the marriage would be a quiet, low-key affair. And because you have already given her four wedding gifts, what you should send her is your good wishes for a long and successful marriage.

poverty or low-performing schools,� he said to scoffs from the crowd. At a morning rally that drew 1,000 people, speakers quoted Martin Luther King Jr., remembered the days of segregated water fountains and likened the current situation to the landmark Brown v. Board of Education battle. Barber talked about America’s legacy of racial strife to galvanize

the crowd. “Too many prayers were prayed,� Barber said. “Too many lives were sacrificed. Too much blood was shed. Too many tears were shed. We can’t turn back now.� Barber’s supporters believe the new policy will resegregate schools. They carried signs that read: “Segregate equals hate� and “History is not a mystery.

Separate is always unequal.� George Ramsay, a white former student body president of Enloe High School, said it was necessary to keep the diversity policy in place to prepare students for an increasingly connected world. “It is shortsighted to ignore the way students like me have been enriched by diversity,� Ramsay said.

Brain aneurysms and their treatment

D

ear Dr. Donohue: I would like to know about brain aneurysms. Two years ago, I was diagnosed with one. I was offered the choice of treatment or doing nothing. I chose to do nothing. I had follow-up MRIs. Now I have a smaller one, and the first one hasn’t grown. I am to have another MRI in the fall. I am concerned about all the radiation from these MRIs. I am 76 years old. – A.A.

The MRI radiation issue isn’t an issue. Magnetic resonance imaging doesn’t involve any radiation. It involves magnets and magnetic fields. A brain aneurysm is like an aneurysm on any other body artery: It’s a bulge, and it represents a weak spot. Actually, it’s more like a blister. All aneurysms have an inherent risk of bursting and causing brisk bleeding. That’s a danger anywhere in the body. In the brain, it often is calamitous. Your aneurysm was discovered by chance. Am I right? You had a silent aneurysm, and a brain scan was taken for some other purpose. That’s how many brain aneurysms are discovered. Few produce symptoms before they actually burst. Not all aneurysms break. Many, many remain silent for all of life. Your age, the size of the aneurysm and its posi-

tion in the brain are the factors that have to be considered in weighing whether HEALTH to leave it alone or Dr. Paul treat it. Donohue It can be ■■■ treated by a neurosurgeon, who clips its base, or by a doctor, who inches a catheter – a slender, pliable tube – from a surface artery to the involved brain artery. When the aneurysm is reached, tiny latex or metallic coils are released into it to obliterate it. A diameter of less than 7 mm is considered small, and such aneurysms often are left alone. Ones that are 10 mm or larger are more likely to break, and those often are treated. Those between 7 mm and 10 mm are iffy. Age is another important consideration. At ages older than 70, correction is less strongly urged, unless the aneurysm is quite large. Location is another important factor. Brain aneurysms in some places are less likely to break than those in other regions of the brain. All of this is understandably overwhelming to a patient. Why not get a second opinion so you can better weigh your options? Dear Dr. Donohue:

Will you talk about Peyronie’s disease, its causes and treatments? – T.D. Peyronie’s (pay-rowKNEES) disease is a lump of scar tissue that forms in the penis and causes it to bend. The bend can make an erection and sexual relations painful or impossible. In some men, the condition regresses on its own. In a larger number, it stabilizes, and the pain greatly lessens. In a third group, the bend and pain worsen. What causes it is disputed. It might be that trifling, unnoticed trauma occurring during sexual relations through the years sets the stage for the development of the scar lump. Many medicines have been tried. Potaba is one. Pentoxifylline is another. Neither has been a great success. Injecting the scar lump with Verapamil is a frequent treatment, and the injection of collagenase, an enzyme that dissolves scars, also has been tried. Surgical corrections for Peyronie’s that has lasted longer than a year are worthy of consideration. DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible. Readers may write him or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475

Blagojevich lawyers say ex-governor may not testify

Lohan reports to jail LYNWOOD, Calif. (AP) – Whisked away to a women’s jail in an unmarked sheriff’s car after a brief hearing, Lindsay Lohan reported Tuesday for a 90-day sentence Lohan that the troubled actress likely will serve in isolation, and which may be significantly shortened. The 24-year-old showed up at the Beverly Hills courtroom about 10 minutes late. After a short hearing, she rose and was handcuffed behind her

Confetti flies as Lindsay Lohan, with an unidentified man, arrives at the Beverly Hills courthouse in Beverly Hills, Calif., Tuesday. back to serve her time for a probation violation. Lohan was accompanied to court by her mother, Dina, and younger sister Ali, who wiped away tears after her sister was taken into lockup. Her estranged father, Michael Lohan, yelled, “We love you Lindsay!�

as his daughter was led away. She was then taken across town to the Century Regional Detention Facility in the industrial suburb of Lynwood. In court, Lohan was represented by her longtime attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley, who had resigned earlier but never

filed a formal motion with the court. Famed celebrity attorney Robert Shapiro said Friday that he had agreed to represent the actress, but Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Marsha Revel said Tuesday that he had told her hours earlier that he would not take the case.

CHICAGO (AP) – Attorneys for Rod Blagojevich said Tuesday they disagree about whether the ousted Illinois governor should testify in his own defense – as he has long promised he would – and whether they should call any defense witnesses at all. If he does not testify, it would bring a swift end to a corruption trial that was expected to last throughout the summer. He is accused of charges including trying to sell or trade an appointment

to Barack Obama’s Senate seat. Jurors w o u l d not hear Blagojevich d i r e c t l y from a politician who loudly proclaimed his innocence. It would also mean that the only time Blagojevich’s voice was heard in court was on secret FBI wiretap tapes played by prosecutors and attorneys for his brother, who is also charged.

West goalie Alex Kubrick, who starred at Ragsdale High School, watches the approach of East’s Lexi Miller (Raleigh Broughton) during Tuesday night’s East-West All-Star soccer match at UNCG Soccer Stadium in Greensboro. Kubrick was not scored upon in the West’s 4-1 victory.

Kubrick’s star shines for West BY DANIEL KENNEDY SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

GREENSBORO – Alex Kubrick flashed a bright smile as she walked off the field for the final time Tuesday during the 2010 N.C. Coaches Association East-West All-Star Game at UNCG Soccer Stadium. The former Ragsdale goalkeeper had every reason to smile in making her way back to the bench, having just completed 40 minutes of stellar play without surrendering a goal. Thanks to Kubrick’s efforts in tying down a high-octane East lineup, her team was able to capitalize with aggressive play on the offensive end and the West cruised to a 4-1 victory. “I had a good defense in front of me,” Kubrick said following her impressive performance. “I just took it as any other game.

These are very good players, but the game is the same. All you can do is come out and do the best you can and that’s what I did.” Shortly after the West jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the 20th minute, the Tigers’ former keeper departed the game halfway through the first half. She returned after intermission to start the second half and gave the team more of the same dominance in her second 20minute stint. Kubrick recorded a pair of saves and allowed her teammates to quickly become the aggressors on the wings. Four different All-Stars from the West got into the scoring column and Alex Kachulis of Weddington took home MVP honors. Brandi Baldwin from Monroe Sun Valley netted the first goal for the winning squad, while Waxhaw Marvin Ridge’s Ashley Arag-

ona and Northwest Guilford’s Jennifer McGorty both added a second-half score for the West. One could easily have made a case for Kubrick as the MVP, as the only goal scored by the East came 10 minutes after Kubrick was removed from the game in the first half. Having enjoyed her time at Ragsdale and playing with some of North Carolina’s most talented athletes as an All-Star, the former All-State, All-Conference Defensive Player of the Year concludes her high school career and anxiously awaits her newest challenge at UNC-Charlotte, where she’ll play for the 49ers on scholarship. “It was a great experience,” Kubrick said of the All-Star game. “It was even better than I thought it would be. It is definitely something I’m going to remember forever. It was a blast.”

High Point’s Womble advances in U.S. Junior ADA, Mich. (AP) – Curtis Thompson of Coral Springs, Fla., birdied his final hole Tuesday to win medalist honors by one stroke at the U.S. Junior Amateur Championship. High Point’s Davis Womble, who shared the first-round lead, carded a 3-under 69 on Tuesday to tie for fourth place in stroke play and easily advance to today’s first round of match play. The top 64 after stroke play qualified for match play. Womble, a rising junior at Wesleyan Christian Academy who opened with a 67, carded six birdies and three bogeys en route to an 8under 136. The cut came at 5-over 149. Kernersville’s Jonathan DiIanni, a rising junior at Westchester Country Day School, saw his hopes of qualifying for match play dim early after going 9-over for his first six holes. He finished at 74-81–156 and tied for 125th in the strong 156-player field. The 17-year-old Thompson, whose younger sister Alexis won the 2008 U.S. Girls Junior Championship, shot a 6-under 66 at Egypt Valley Country Club to finish the two rounds of qualifying at 10 under.

s it just me, or has this summer flown by faster than most? Maybe it’s my desire to leave the oppressive heat behind me, but it feels like Memorial Day was only about a week ago. In the clearest sign yet that summer is about to exit stage left, the Carolina Panthers report for training camp one week from today at Wofford College. Can you believe it? The NFL is just around the corner. The Panthers enter this season with tons of questions swirling. Will Matt Moore or rookie Jimmy Clausen emerge as the starting quarterback? How will the team replace talented but inconsistent defensive end Julius Peppers?

Chicago Cubs manager Lou Piniella announced Tuesday that he will retire at the end of the season, ending a storied and often colorful career that included 18 years in the majors as a player and another 22 as a manager. The 66-yearold Piniella, who made five trips to the World Series in his career and has three championship rings, said he was looking forward to spending more time with his family. He didn’t rule out consulting for the Cubs or another team, but made it clear he was getting out of the daily grind. “It’s been a wonderful experience,” he said. “There’s no way that I won’t cherish the memories here.” But, he added: “I’ve been away from home since 1962. That’s about 50 years.” General manager Jim Hendry said former Cubs Hall of Famer Ryne Sandberg, now a minor league manager in Des Moines, will be a candidate for the job. He said Piniella’s replacement won’t be hired before the end of the season. Sandberg, who spent several seasons as a spring training instructor with the Cubs after retiring in 1997, said he is interested in the job. Entering Tuesday, Piniella’s overall record was 1,826-1,691 (.519).

Will the dynamic running back duo of DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart repeat last season’s success without the blocking and leadership of departed fullback Brad Hoover? Will this be the last season at the helm for head coach John Fox? I don’t have the answers for any of those questions, but we’ll start finding out soon enough. Here are a few key dates to circle on your calendar: •Carolina’s first practice will be July 29 at Wofford. •The Panthers open preseason play Thursday, Aug. 12, at Baltimore. Kickoff is set for 8 p.m. •The rest of the preseason schedule finds

the Jets coming to Charlotte for an 8 p.m. kickoff on Aug. 21, while the Panthers play host to the Titans on Aug. 28 at 8 p.m. and cap things with a trip to Pittsburgh to play the Steelers on Thursday, Sept. 2, at 7:30 p.m. •Carolina’s regular-season opener comes Sunday, Sept. 12, at the New York Giants. Tentative kickoff time is 1 p.m. •The Panthers’ home opener is set for Sunday, Sept. 19 at 1 p.m. against Tampa Bay. •Carolina’s bye comes in Week 6 (the weekend of Oct. 17). •The Panthers close the regular season Jan. 2 at Atlanta. So let’s get ready for some football!

Record-low TV ratings for British Open final round NEW YORK (AP) — Little drama and a little-known champion sent the British Open’s television ratings plummeting to a record low. South Africa’s Louis Oosthuizen led over the last 48 holes and won by seven shots, his victory almost never in doubt during the final round. ESPN said Sunday’s coverage drew a 2.1 rating, down 45 percent from last year’s 3.8. The previous low was a 3.1 in 1996, according to Nielsen, when Tom Lehman went into the final round with a six-shot lead. Average ratings for the first three rounds were up from 2009, increasing from 1.3 to 1.4. This was the first year the tournament was broadcast entirely on cable. The coverage

Garrett out, Haden in as USC athletic director LOS ANGELES (AP) — Embattled Southern California athletic director Mike Garrett will be replaced by Pat Haden next month, and the school will return its copy of Reggie Bush’s Heisman Trophy in its ongoing effort to repair its reputation after last month’s severe NCAA sanctions. In a letter to school supporters Tuesday, incoming USC president Max Nikias said Garrett will be replaced Aug. 3 by Haden, a respected member of USC’s board of trustees and an NBC football analyst. The 66-year-old Garrett has been the Trojans’ athletic director for 17 years, but he received caustic criticism for his handling of the scandals surrounding USC’s powerful football team and other programs over the past several years. The NCAA hit USC with major sanctions last month, including a twoyear bowl ban and scholarship restrictions. Nikias, who takes his own new job Aug. 3, also said USC will return Bush’s trophy to the Heisman Trophy Trust next month, possibly indicating the trophy will be revoked in the future. The school will take down any jerseys or murals recognizing the former star tailback or basketball player O.J. Mayo, the other major figure in the four-year NCAA investigation. Both Garrett and Haden are former USC football players. Garrett won the Heisman Trophy in 1965, while Haden was the Trojans’ starting quarterback for three years under coach John McKay. Haden is firmly ensconced in Trojan lore. In 1974, he led a 55-24 victory over Notre Dame still known at the school as “The Comeback,” while his late heroics in the 1975 Rose Bowl, including a last-minute touchdown pass and two-point conversion throw, gave USC an 18-17 win over Ohio State.

Hurricanes agree to 1-year deal with Carson

RALEIGH (AP) — The Carolina Hurricanes have agreed to a one-year contract with defenseman Brett Carson. The two-way deal will pay him $500,000 at the NHL level and $105,000 on the American Hockey League level next season. Carolina president and general manager Jim Rutherford says Carson proved he can be a consistent contributor for the Hurricanes last season. The 24-year-old Carson played 54 games with Carolina. He had two goals and 10 assists.

Diaz lifts Braves THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ATLANTA – Matt Diaz homered in his third straight game, Jair Jurrjens gave up only one run in seven innings, and the Atlanta Braves beat the Padres 4-1 on Tuesday night in a matchup of first-place teams. Diaz drove in three runs with a two-run homer in the fourth and a run-scoring single in the seventh. Jason Heyward had three hits, including two doubles, and drove in a run as the Braves expanded a 2-1 lead in the seventh. Chris Denorfia hit a second-inning homer for the Padres, but Jurrjens (3-3) gave up only two hits over his last five innings. Billy Wagner pitched a perfect ninth for his 22nd save. The Braves, who began the day 51⁄2 games ahead of second-place New York in the NL East,improved to 55-38 and passed the NL West-leading Padres (54-38) for the best record in the National League. Diaz has three homers and eight RBIs in his last three games. He was slowed the first two months of the season by an infection in his right thumb. He finally had surgery on May 20 and came off the disabled list on June 29. Wade LeBlanc (4-8) gave up two runs, five hits and four walks in six innings. The Braves added two runs off Ryan Webb in the seventh. Braves bench coach Chino Cadahia filled in as manager Bobby Cox served a one-game suspension imposed Monday. Cox drew the suspension after left-hander Jonny Venters hit Milwaukee’s Prince Fielder with a pitch on Saturday. Venters, appealing his four-game suspension, took over for Jurrjens and retired the Padres in order in the eighth.

ROCKIES 10, MARLINS 0 MIAMI – Melvin Mora drove in five runs and Jeff Francis pitched seven crisp innings to lead Colorado to the victory. Batting in the No. 3 spot for only the second time this season, Mora hit a bases-clearing double to highlight a six-run third inning. He also hit a tworun homer off Nate Robertson (6-8) in the fifth and finished with three hits, matching a season high. Francis (3-3) allowed three hits, struck out seven and walked none while lowering his ERA from 5.14 to 4.63. It was the Marlins’ most lopsided loss of the season.

HiToms’ hurlers help Nationals win CPL All-Star contest ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

FOREST CITY – Two HiToms got wins and two got defeats Tuesday night in the Coastal Plain League All-Star Game. With no good way to split the three-division, 15-team league into distinct halves, players from every team land on both the National and American squads. The Nationals grabbed a 5-4 win Tuesday. Pitchers Ben Grisz and J.J. Jankowski made the National team, and each pitched a scoreless inning while allowing one base runner and recording two strikeouts. Out-

fielder Cass Hargis was on the American squad, coached by Tom Dorzweiler. Hargis finished 0-for-2. Gastonia’s David Chester was named the Rawlings Offensive Player of the Game after going 2-for-3 with a home run, a single and three RBIs. Edenton’s Mark Montgomery earned Rawlings Defensive Player of the Game honors after earning the save by throwing a scoreless inning of relief. Monday in Forest City, Chester hit 11 home runs and was named the Rawlings All-Star Home Run Derby Champion. Chester fought off Edenton’s Brian Billi-

gen for the title. He finished with six long balls – all with wood – for 18 points. Ten of Chester’s 11 homers were hit with wood – each worth three points – while one was added for good measure in the first round with an aluminum bat for one point. Hargis hit three homers with an aluminum bat in the first round for three points and one homer in the second round with wood for six points in all, but did not advance. The HiToms visit Asheboro tonight and Gastonia on Thursday before playing host to Forest City on Friday.

RANGERS 8, TIGERS 0 DETROIT – Tommy Hunter pitched seven scoreless innings, Josh Hamilton and Ian Kinsler homered, and the surging Texas Rangers beat slumping Detroit. The AL West-leading Rangers are 5-1 since the All-Star break. Hunter became the first Ranger to start a season 7-0, pitching only as a starter. Detroit has lost a season-high seven straight games.

All-Star Armwood set to blaze different trail C

hris Armwood’s speed made him a dangerous return man and defensive back at Ragsdale High School. And while Armwood is hoping to play for Charlotte’s new football program in a few years, he’s more interested in blazing a trail of an entirely different sort. “I like drag racing,” Armwood said. “Going 300 (mph) and some change down the track for a quarter-mile ...” It’s a thrill unlike any other, to be sure. And tonight, Armwood will get a final thrill on the football field – at least for a while – when the 62nd annual East-West All-Star Game takes place at Greensboro’s Jamieson Stadium. Kickoff is slated for 8 to accommodate SPORTS the halftime fireworks show. High Point Central’s Jimmy Moorman and Steve Trinity’s T.J. Bulla also will play for Hanf the West. ■■■ Armwood represents a minority of East-West players. In a few short weeks, virtually all of tonight’s all-stars will trek to college campuses and begin preparations for the upcoming football season. Not Armwood. In Charlotte, he found a school that boasts a strong engineering program with ties to the region’s motorsports industry. It just so happened that the 49ers are adding a football program to begin practicing next year and playing in 2012. “It’s kind of a bittersweet moment: My last high school game and then I’ve got a break before I start back at UNC Charlotte,” Armwood said. “It hits me in the heart a little more. They know they’re going somewhere at the next level playing football. I don’t know yet. I’m still working for that.” Armwood plans to work out as much Armwood as possible and submit his game and training tapes to the 49ers’ coach when that position is filled this fall. Then it’s a waiting game. He’s fine with that. Armwood had offers to play at a number of Division II schools, but put academics first. “I really like engineering and racing, so I couldn’t sacrifice having a chance to play somewhere else and then be left out to dry with what I want to do the rest of my life,” Armwood reasoned. Those aspirations include not just working on dragsters at the NHRA level, but even driving them. His ties to the sport are deep. “From way back, all my dad’s family, they’ve driven anything and everything, and pretty much anything on wheels I can drive,” Armwood said. “Me and my dad go to the track all the time, and my family – if it has an engine, it’s for them.”

SING US A SONG... When Bulla was asked some of his favorite memories from playing with the Bulldogs, he paused a few moments to think. “The locker room,” he said simply. After enjoying the camaraderie with those teammates so much, it was easy for Bulla to pick out his favorite moments from this week’s East-West festivities – no matter how surprising.

Turns out West quarterback Ben Walgenbach of Hendersonville plays the piano, so the players have been gathering in the lobby of their team hotel for impromptu singalongs. “We all try to sing and help out,” Bulla said with a smile. He added that the favorite number so far has been a version of “The Doug Song” from the film, “The

Hangover.” After tonight’s game, Bulla will be looking for more happy memories on and off the field when he heads to Guilford College. Bulla plans to major in sports medicine and ended up choosing the Division III Quakers over a few others schools, including Ferrum College in Virginia. “It’ll be an exciting four years,” Bulla said.

CHANGE OF PLANS Moorman still has something to prove in tonight’s game despite the fact he’s cemented – for the first two years – his college plans. High Point Central’s fearsome linebacker earned back-to-back defensive player of the year honors, but scared college coaches because he stands just 5-foot-10

to go with his powerful 220-pound frame. In the spring, Moorman signed with Louisburg College, but recently changed his commitment to College of the Canyons. The junior college, located about 35 minutes north of Los Angeles in Santa Clarita, is an annual contender among California’s community college football programs and in 2004 won a national championship. Last year, Moorman said nine Cougars earned scholarships to four-year schools, including two who went to Tennessee and Syracuse. “They called Coach (Wayne) Jones – I don’t know how they heard about me all the way out there,” said Moorman, who will report to the campus for the first time in two weeks. “They let me know they wanted me to come out and I just signed.” His adventure there will be one more chance to prove the doubters wrong. After tonight’s opportunities, of course. “I’ve got a lot to prove – still got that chip on my shoulder,” Moorman said with a disarming smile not seen on the football field. “I feel like I still have something to prove (tonight). Play hard, make a couple plays and show everybody that Jimmy Moorman can really play.” shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

Armstrong shows grit in bid for win in Pyrenees PAU, France (AP) – In his final days of his final Tour de France, Lance Armstrong showed some of the old fire. The seven-time champion, knowing full well he no longer stands above all others in his sport, fought from beginning to end in the hopes of going out with a stage victory high in the Pyrenees. It was not to be. Armstrong finished sixth after breaking away early in the 16th stage and holding his own through four major climbs of the Tour’s most demanding leg. But he lost in a final sprint, with Frenchman Pierrick Fedrigo winning the 124-mile ride. Alberto Contador was almost seven minutes behind, his Astana team asserting control over the field. The defending champion from Spain kept the overall lead, eight seconds ahead of Andy Schleck of Luxembourg. The two rode a day after Contador apologized for the way in which he took the yellow jersey. On Tuesday, Armstrong broke away on his own at one point before he was caught by a small group of riders. All of which was a bit of a change for the 38year-old Texan. “It was harder than I expected. It’s been awhile since I sprinted,” Armstrong said. “Just not quick enough. I’m not the best guy in the race but I still have the spirit of a fighter. ... I wasn’t fast enough in the end. Fedrigo

TOUR DE FRANCE AT A GLANCE

---

PAU, France (AP) – A brief look at Tuesday’s 16th stage of the Tour de France: Stage: The 16th stage took the riders on a 124-mile ride from Bagneres-de-Luchon to Pau that featured four major climbs, including the Col du Tourmalet. Winner: Pierrick Fedrigo of France made it three French victories in a row after winning a sprint among seven riders in a breakaway, including Lance Armstrong. Second was Sandy Casar of France, with Ruben Plaza of Spain third. Yellow Jersey: No change in the overall classification. Defending champion Alberto Contador of Spain leads Andy Schleck of Luxembourg by 8 seconds. Quote of the Day: “I’m not the best guy in the race, but I still have the spirit of a fighter.” – Armstrong Next stage: Today is a rest day. Thursday is the final day in the Pyrenees, and it ends at the top of one of the most famous mountains in cycling. The 108.1-mile 17th stage from Pau to the Col du Tourmalet (ridden in the opposite direction to Tuesday) has the potential to decide the Tour de France.

is very fast and he deserves the win.” The Tour ends in Paris on Sunday, and Armstrong acknowledged his career was nearing the finish. “Lance Armstrong is over in about four days,” he said. Armstrong’s coach, Johan Bruyneel, said the course was not ideal for Armstrong to prevail. “You really have to be very, very strong to ride away,” he said. “And there’s always going to be one or two guys with him, who are equally strong in the sprint,” he said. Contador lauded Armstrong’s effort. “I believe he really wanted to go for that stage today,” he said. “For myself,

I would have been really happy if he had won that stage because he really deserved it,” he said. Second place went to France’s Sandy Casar, with Spain’s Ruben Plaza third. The stage featured two climbs that are so difficult they aren’t even classified by cycling’s governing body. The leading group finished the race in 5 hours, 31 minutes, 43 seconds. The stragglers were almost 35 minutes behind. It was the third successive French victory in this year’s race and the sixth in all. “It was my day. Everything smiled on me,” said Fedrigo, who also won a stage in 2009 and 2006 and has regularly been

part of breakaways in this year’s race. “This shows that it isn’t only the great leaders who can win on the Tour de France, it’s also the general riders.” Schleck was unable to get away from Contador and make up the time he desperately needs to regain the yellow jersey and build a buffer for Saturday’s time trial, where Contador is expected to excel. Schleck had been furious with Contador after Monday’s stage. He felt the Spaniard should have waited while Schleck dealt with a mechanical problem during the day’s main climb. Contador surged ahead but later apologized in a YouTube video. On Tuesday, the two shook hands on French television. “We are fine now,” Schleck said. “The Tour de France isn’t going to be won by eight seconds, and there’s going to be a big race between him and me the day after tomorrow.” Today is a rest day. On Thursday, the field turns around and rides the Pyrenees in the other direction, ending on the top of the Col du Tourmalet. “It’s a very, very hard stage and I think we can have very big gaps – probably more than in the time trial,” Contador said. Tuesday was a good day for Norway’s Thor Hushovd, who finished in 10th place and picked up enough points to retake the green jersey worn by the top sprinter.

LeMond looks forward to doping investigation DENVER (AP) – Three-time Tour de France winner Greg LeMond says he believes evidence against Lance Armstrong in a federal probe will be “overwhelming.” In an interview with The Denver Post, LeMond said he was happy when he received

the subpoena to make a July 30 appearance in federal court in Los Angeles to testify in an investigation of possible fraud and doping charges against Armstrong and his associates. “The evidence will come from the investigation,” LeMond told the newspaper, “and I believe it

will be overwhelming.” LeMond also said he believes Floyd Landis was telling the truth in his descriptions of what he claimed was Armstrong’s systemic doping program. Armstrong has denied allegations of doping. On Monday, his attorney sent a letter to the

federal prosecutor looking into the case complaining about leaks to the media. “This appears to be a fullblown and largely unmonitored exploration of Floyd Landis’ patently unreliable and routinely changing accusations of possible improper conduct in the

professional cycling industry at large,” wrote Armstrong’s attorney, Tim Herman. A copy of the letter was obtained by The Associated Press. LeMond, meanwhile, could not discuss what he knows or what he’ll testify about at the end of the month.

PANTHERS SIGN LAFELL

---

CHARLOTTE (AP) – The Carolina Panthers have signed third-round draft pick Brandon LaFell, leaving just one selection from this year’s draft without a contract. The Panthers announced the deal on Tuesday and expect LaFell to compete for playing time immediately as fourth-year pro Dwayne Jarrett has been slow to emerge as a consistent factor in the offense. The wide receiver from LSU started 35 games with the Tigers, catching 175 passes for 2,517 yards and 25 touchdowns. The only player from Carolina’s 10 draft picks remaining unsigned is Notre Dame quarterback Jimmy Clausen.

Yankees put Pettitte on DL NEW YORK (AP) – Andy Pettitte has been placed on the 15-day disabled list because of a strained left groin and the New York Yankees left-hander is expected to miss at least a month. The 38-year-old AllStar was injured Sunday while throwing a pitch in the third inning against the Tampa Bay Rays. An MRI showed the strain. The move is retroactive to Monday. Pettitte says he will not do anything for a week.

Clemson’s Swinney will know Parker’s plans soon SUNSET, S.C. (AP) – The wait for Clemson to learn Kyle Parker’s “Decision” is almost over. Coach Dabo Swinney says the family of two-sport standout Kyle Parker has pledged to let him know by midnight Tuesday if he’ll return as quarterback or give up the sport to play for the Colorado Rockies. “I did get a message that said they signed him and they traded him to the Reds,” Swinney joked Tuesday evening after his golf outing. “No, nothing yet.” Parker’s choice has been the biggest guessing game on campus since last football season ended with the freshman quarterback passing for 20 touchdowns and 2,556 yards as Clemson reached the Atlantic Coast Conference title game. Parker also found success in baseball, hitting 20 home runs as the Tigers advanced to the College World Series. The Rockies selected Parker No. 26 overall, higher than most experts projected. Parker took a break after Clemson’s elimination in Omaha. But knowing his football teammates needed closure, he set a July 20th deadline to decide. “I’ll probably be out watering my front lawn at midnight when he calls,” Swinney said. If Parker returns, it’s an instant boost to an offense that is already without three of last season’s recordsetters in tailback C.J. Spiller, receiver Jacoby Ford and tight end Michael Palmer. Parker “gives us the chance to be really explosive early,” Swinney said. Should Parker jump into pro baseball, Swinney would be left choosing between two backups who have never completed a college pass in senior Michael Wade and freshman Tajh Boyd.

Boyd is a highly regarded prospect who turned down Ohio State and Oregon to join the Tigers. Swinney and offensive coordinator Billy Napier would rather Boyd get another year learning the attack with Parker in control. However, they may not get that luxury. “Boy, I’d love to have those 14 games of experience” from 2009 back, Napier said. Wade played quarterback in high school, but has been twice shifted to defense the last four to find a spot for him to play. He was a regular on special teams last fall, something he’d likely become again if Parker came back, Napier said. Swinney, Napier and the staff were anxious to have the drama over, one way or another. “I’d be lying if I said we weren’t waiting to know,” Tiger offensive line coach Brad Scott said. Parker was an untested football commodity last summer, fighting off local favorite Willy Korn to earn the starting job. Korn, a popular state championship-winning quarterback at nearby Byrnes High before signing with Clemson, transferred to Marshall this offseason. Swinney has said that Parker’s potential could be just as solid in the NFL. Parker and the Rockies might not be willing to take the chance he’d make it through another football season uninjured. Either way, Parker’s decision will give Swinney and the Tigers peace of mind about what’s ahead. Swinney said the players have been patient about Parker’s absence from summertime skills and drills and would welcome him back. “If not, hey, it doesn’t affect anything that’s gone on this summer,” Swinney said. “People can move on and we can have some closure on it.”

PINEHURST (AP) – Danielle Kang of Thousand Oaks, Calif., shot a 74 and earned medalist honors for the U.S. Girls Junior Championship on Tuesday at The Country Club of North Carolina. Kang finished two rounds of stroke play 3under 141. She’ll be the top seed when match play for the top 64 qualifiers begins today. Ginger Howard of Bradenton, Fla., shot even par in the second round to stay at 2 under and hold second place. Megan Khang, a 12year-old from Rockland,

Mass., was the only other golfer under par in stroke play as finished at 1 under. High Point’s Cecily Overbey, a rising freshman at Wesleyan Christian Academy, posted rounds of 86 and 84 to finish in a tie for 135th at 26-over 170. The cut came at 157. Overbey was one of the youngest players in the field. Gyeol Park of Korea shot Tuesday’s best round at 3 under and moved to fourth place overall at even par. She was 3 under on the back side, closing with an eagle on the par-5 18th.

Brad Miller signs with Rockets HOUSTON (AP) – Brad Miller signed with the Houston Rockets on Tuesday, reuniting the 7-foot center with his favorite coach in Rick Adelman. Miller signed a threeyear, $15 million contract to back up Yao Ming, who is expected to be ready for next season after sitting out a year to recover from foot surgery.

“We’ve been looking for somebody to give us strong minutes at the center spot and pair with Yao Ming for some time,” Rockets general manager Daryl Morey said. The 34-year-old Miller appeared in 82 games last season for the Bulls and averaged 8.8 points and 4.9 rebounds. He has career averages of 11.7 points and 7.5 rebounds in 12 NBA seasons.

Unemployment fell in 39 states in June WASHINGTON (AP) – The unemployment rate fell in most states in June, mainly because more people gave up searching for work and were no longer counted. Fewer states saw job increases, the latest evidence that the economic recovery is slowing. The jobless rate declined in 39 states and Washington, D.C. last month, the Labor Department said Tuesday. That’s a slight im-

provement from May, when 37 states saw their rates decline. But only 21 states saw net job gains in June, the government said. That compared to 41 the previous month and is the fewest this year. The decline in job creation reflects the layoff of thousands of temporary census workers. Those jobs inflated total payrolls in May and then reduced them in June.

Still, the report also indicated that businesses aren’t hiring many new workers. Nationwide, private employers added a net gain of only 83,000 jobs last month. The national unemployment rate dropped to 9.5 percent in June from 9.7 percent the previous month, as about 650,000 people stopped looking for work. New York’s unemployment rate fell to 8.2 percent from 8.3 percent the previous month. But

the state lost 8,500 private-sector jobs, the second-straight decline in private employment. California’s unemployment rate also declined, but the state gained just 1,300 private-sector jobs. Wisconsin, meanwhile, saw its jobless rate fall to 7.9 percent from 8.2 percent the previous month. But the state’s work force fell by 13,600, suggesting the decline was the result of people giving up job hunts. Fur-

thermore, the state lost 1,000 private-sector jobs last month. Nevada, battered by a housing slump and a drop in tourism, posted the nation’s highest unemployment rate of 14.2 percent. That’s the state’s highest since records began in 1976. In May, Nevada displaced Michigan from the top spot for the first time in more than four years. Michigan’s unemployment rate fell to 13.2 percent in June.

Feds OKs antitrust deal for airlines NEW YORK – The Transportation Department has given antitrust immunity to American Airlines and foreign partners, which will let the airlines work together to set fares and schedules across the Atlantic. The other airlines are British Airways, Iberia Airlines, Finnair and Royal Jordanian Airlines. DOT said Tuesday the move will give travelers and cargo shippers benefits including lower fares in some markets, improved service and better schedules.

Treasury prices mainly stagnant NEW YORK – Treasury prices mostly rose Tuesday as another weak report on the housing sector cast more doubt on the economic recovery. The yield on the 10year Treasury note was essentially flat at 2.96 percent, while its price edged up 3.125 cents to $104.594. The Commerce Department had reported earlier that home construction plunged last month to the lowest level since October. That led to an early decline in stock prices and more interest in safehaven investments.

Countrywide gave deals to Fannie Mae workers WASHINGTON – The former Countrywide Financial Corp. gave preferential loans to more than three dozen employees of Fannie Mae while the two giant housing enterprises were locked in an expanding, multibillion dollar business relationship in subprime mortgages, documents show. Discounted mortgages written by Countrywide, once the nation’s largest subprime lender, were granted to a far wider group of Fannie employees than the four top executives executives whose preferential loans were previously disclosed, according to Countrywide documents provided to Congress under a subpoena.

Grand jury subpoenas Toyota documents NEW YORK (AP) – A federal grand jury in New York has subpoenaed Toyota’s U.S. subsidiaries for documents related to problems with rods that connect a vehicle’s steering to its front wheels, the automaker said Tuesday. The subpoena is the latest legal problem to confront the automaker. It also faces hundreds of lawsuits from consumers over the company’s unintended acceleration recalls, the drop in its stock price and lower resale value of its cars and trucks. Steve Curtis, a spokesman for Toyota’s U.S. subsidiary in Torrance, Calif., declined to offer more

details on the subpoena, referring to a statement saying the company intends to cooperate with the investigation. The company continues to cooperate with previous requests for documents as well, he said. The subpoena, received in late June, is the company’s second from a federal grand jury, the panel that determines whether enough evidence exists to bring criminal charges. The first subpoena, which came in February, was for documents related to unintended acceleration in Toyota automobiles and the braking system of its Prius hybrid. It remains unclear whether the

most recent subpoena is tied to a specific recall and what vehicles are affected. But defective steering relay rods led Toyota to recall 4Runner sports utility vehicles and T100 pickup trucks in the U.S. in 2005. Toyota waited nearly a year to issue a recall of those vehicles in the U.S., despite issuing a similar recall in Japan and receiving dozens of reports from U.S. motorists that the rods snapped without warning, an Associated Press investigation earlier this year found. When a steering rod snaps, the driver cannot control the vehicle because the front wheels are unable to turn.

Some Republican lawmakers have argued that the bill could aid trial lawyers more than it would help women. The administration’s Equal Pay Enforcement Task Force also recommended Tuesday that the federal government collect better data from businesses so it can more effectively track wage discrimination in the workplace.

Goldman Sachs profit falls by $453 million NEW YORK (AP) – Goldman Sachs had an 83 percent drop in second-quarter net income but still got a vote of confidence from investors. Goldman Sachs Group Inc. said Tuesday its earnings fell to $453 million as trading revenue dropped during a dismal spring for the financial markets. The bank also booked a $550 million charge for its settlement of civil fraud charges with the Securities and Exchange Commission

and took a $600 million charge because of a new tax on employee bonuses in Britain. Investors initially sold Goldman’s stock after its earnings were released, but they had a change of heart as the trading day wore on. Analysts said investors focused on the fact that Goldman is still the top player on Wall Street and will remain so in the future when the markets recover from their current slump. “These guys are the

best of breed,” said John Jay, a senior analyst at Aite Group. “Their relationships are still in place. In the end, this is just a temporary swoon.” Goldman’s stock rose $2.72, or 1.9 percent, to $148.80 in afternoon trading. The stock is still down more than 20 percent from its close on April 15, the day before the SEC charges were filed. Last week, the government Goldman announced a $550 million settlement

of those charges, which grew out of the 2007 sale of complex mortgage-related securities. The fact that Goldman took a charge for the settlement in the second quarter showed that the bank expects to put the case behind it. Chief financial officer David Viniar said during a conference call with reporters that the bank did not see any drop in market share because of the charges, which grew out of the company’s sale of

complex mortgage-related securities in 2007. The other big charge grew out of a one-time British tax of 50 percent on bonuses for banking employees in excess of $38,000. Excluding the one-time costs, net income after payment of dividends on preferred stock came to $2.75 per share, easily topping the $2.08 analysts forecast. Analysts typically exclude onetime charges from their estimates.

Oil prices settle above $77 NEW YORK (AP) – Oil prices rose from early lows on Tuesday as the stock market gained back some ground following disappointing earnings reports from Goldman Sachs and IBM. Gas pump prices fell a lit-

tle, with the national average for a gallon of unleaded regular at $2.719, according to AAA, Wright Express and Oil Price Information Service. That’s 0.3 cent lower than Monday’s average, and 25.4 cents above the price a year ago.

Benchmark crude for August delivery rose 57 cents to $77.11 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Most interest has shifted to the September contract, which added 57 cents at $77.47.

A mason lays brick on a foundation for a new home in Richmond, Va. Home construction plunged last month to the lowest level since October as the economy remained weak and demand for housing plummeted.

Home construction sinks to lowest level since October WASHINGTON (AP) – Home construction plunged last month to the lowest level since October as the economy remained weak and demand for housing plummeted. But driving the June decline was a more than 20 percent drop in condominium and apartment construction, which makes up a small but volatile portion of the housing market. Construction of single-family homes, the largest part of the market, was down slightly. It dropped 0.7 percent. Overall, construction of new homes and apartments in June fell 5 percent from a month earlier to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 549,000, the Commerce Department said Tuesday. May’s figure was revised downward to 578,000. Homebuilders are

struggling to compete with a glut of homes on the market, many of them foreclosures or deeply discounted properties. The number of foreclosures could rise even faster, according to a new report on the Obama administration’s flagship effort to help those at risk of losing their homes. More than 40 percent of those of those who have enrolled have dropped out of the program, the Treasury Department said Tuesday. One bright area of the new home construction report was an increase in building permit applications, which are a sign of future activity. They rose 2.1 percent from a month earlier to an annual rate of 586,000, however this was also driven by apartment construction.

A slumping job market and competition from foreclosed properties have forced builders to limit construction, especially after tax credits that spurred sales expired at the end of April. “The housing market remains the Achilles heel of the recovery,” said M. Cary Leahey, a senior economist at Decision Economics. “It is hard to imagine confidence recovering to healthy levels until the housing market experiences much less distress.” The lackluster housing report contributed to an early sell-off on Wall Street. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 120 points in morning trading. In a typical economic recovery, the construction sector provides much of the fuel.

National broadband network to launch next year NEW YORK (AP) – U.S. consumers and businesses may get more options in wireless service starting next year, with the launch of a new wireless broadband network that aims to provide competition to the incumbent phone companies. Private-equity firm Harbinger Capital Partners on Tuesday revealed details of the launch of its wireless network, LightSquared, which should cover 92 percent of the population by 2015. But there are financial and regulatory hurdles to overcome. And in another wrinkle, LightSquared won’t initially be offering conventional cell phone service, just data. It’s possible to send phone calls over data connections, but that technology is not fully mature or standardized. Still, LightSquared represents a rare new entrant in the wireless market. Only two other companies, Verizon Wireless and AT&T Inc., have firm plans to build nationwide networks using the same,

fourth-generation network technology that LightSquared will use. Sprint Nextel Corp., through its Clearwire Corp. subsidiary, is building a third one with a different 4G technology that’s likely to get less support from equipment makers. Consumers won’t buy service directly from LightSquared. Instead, it will sell access wholesale to other companies that can resell it to consumers. LightSquared hopes to attract cable TV providers, phone companies that don’t have wireless networks of their own and retailers that want to provide wireless service under their own brand. Dan Hays, who focuses on telecommunications with consulting firm PRTM, said LightSquared “could provide a renewed opportunity for retailers and major brands such as Wal-Mart, Best Buy, and Office Depot to enter the wireless market as service providers to consumers.”

J&J posts profit despite recalls THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Repeated recalls of popular Johnson & Johnson nonprescription medicines kept second-quarter revenue flat and forced J&J to cut its profit forecast, but a big drop in its tax rate enabled the healthcare giant to pull off a 7.5 percent increase in net income. In a rare move, the maker of Band-Aids, birth control and biotech drugs on Tuesday reduced its 2010 profit forecast by 15 cents a share, sending its stock down $1.30 a share, or 2.2 percent, to $58.27 in afternoon trading — an unusually big drop for the huge global conglomerate.

Stocks inch higher in choppy trade NEW YORK (AP) – Investors are trying to get a read on the economy using earnings reports. They’re finding it’s not so easy. The result Tuesday was yet another erratic day of stock trading. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 75 points after having fallen 140 in early trading in response to a series of disappointing revenue reports. Analysts were hard-pressed to come up with a reason for the turnaround. But trading was extremely light, and that tends to skew stock prices. Analysts said some investors were getting a little more upbeat as they awaited earnings reports from Yahoo Inc. and Apple Inc. after the close. But those reports came in mixed, just like those from the many companies that have also reported second-quarter results. Apple’s stock surged in after-hours trading, but Yahoo fell. Like IBM Corp., Johnson & Johnson and Goldman Sachs Inc., its revenue fell short of expectations. Investors have been quick to sell on even a whiff of bad news. Early Tuesday, they were motivated by the reports from IBM, J&J and Goldman. Investors have been focusing on revenue rather than bottom-line earnings because of the link between companies’ sales and the economy. If revenue is down because consumers aren’t spending, that’s a sign that the economy could remain weak.

A draft of the latest cookbook by author and leading expert on Mexican cuisine, Diana Kennedy, sits on a table inside her kitchen at her home in Zitacuaro, Mexico. Sparkling brown eyes, sharp tongued and hilarious, at 87, Kennedy has a new cookbook coming out, “Oaxaca al Gusto,” featuring more than 300 recipes gathered over decades.

Queen of Mexican cuisine pens new cookbook BY MARTHA MENDOZA ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

ITACUARO, Mexico – The queen of Mexican cuisine is scolding me with a wooden spoon. “You don’t just fling the ingredients around!” says Diana Kennedy. “That. Is. Not. Cooking!” She demonstrates the correct technique, delicately wrapping a warm pumpkin crepe around

‘Cooking teaches you that you’re not always in control. Cooking is life’s biggest comeuppance. Ingredients can fool you.’ Diana Kennedy Queen of Mexican cuisine a fresh stew of huitlacoche corn fungus sauteed with onions and corn. She serves the lunch on china, carries it out to her sunny patio, sits down with a happy sigh and takes a bite. “Brilliant, if I do say so myself,” she says. And she’s right. The food is brilliant. And that’s because Diana Kennedy is brilliant. Sparkling brown eyes, sharp tongued and hilarious, at 87, Kennedy still hauls kilos of dried corn hundreds of miles across

Mexico in her rattling truck to grind and roll into savory tortillas and tamales. She recycles rainwater off her roof, uses solar pipes to heat her water, hosts cooking classes in her own kitchen and has a garden of rare edible plants that are a living museum of Mexico’s culinary heritage. And this fall Kennedy has a new cookbook coming out, “Oaxaca al Gusto,” featuring more than 300 recipes Kennedy gathered over decades, rumbling up dirt roads to visit home kitchens in some of Mexico’s most remote communities, studying distinctive cuisines that are both unique and familiar: after all, Oaxaca’s key ingredients are chocolate, corn and chilies. The cookbook, featuring gorgeous photos and cultural descriptions, is the latest in a lifetime of groundbreaking culinary contributions from Kennedy, who has received the equivalent of knighthood in Mexico with the Congressional Order Of The Aztec Eagle award for documenting and preserving regional Mexican cuisine. The United Kingdom also has honored her, awarding her a Member of the British Empire award for furthering cultural relations with Mexico. Yet almost four decades after her now legendary and essential “The Cuisines of Mexico” was published, Kennedy is every bit as intrigued and excited about Mexico’s ingredients, recipes and cooking techniques. It’s a gastronomy that humbles her. “Cooking teaches you that

This means book tours, cooking lessons and endless research in remote villages where she continues to gather

recipes and ingredients. This fall she’ll travel through the United States, sharing her wisdom at bookstores. It’s hectic and exhausting, both promoting her books and studying countryside communities for new ideas, and she can be on the road for weeks at a time. At home, life is uncomplicated. “I take two hours a day in the sun. I warm my bones,” she said.

Way down South, where football and food are close to religions, tailgate parties could turn into crawfish boils a few autumns from now if a Louisiana State University project works out. “I certainly hope so. It would be a nice option to have,” said Greg Lutz, an aquaculture specialist at the university’s agriculture center. Lutz has placed about 2,000 juvenile shrimp crawfish into 60 outdoor tanks and is studying how they are growing and whether they could be raised profitably, like their distant kin, red swamp crawfish and white river crawfish. Those species are a staple of spring get-togethers in Louisiana and other areas of the South, but they’re gone before the first kickoff. Shrimp crawfish, however, lay their eggs about the time the current commercial varieties are harvested and would be fullsized in October and November. “I would like them so we could get part of the football season,” said David Snell, who runs a Dallas-area catering business called Cajun Crawfish Company. “All the tailgating that goes on, if we were able to get crawfish earlier, with a good size and at a reasonable price, I’d be interested.” David McGraw, who buys from Atchafalaya Basin fishermen when his 700 acres of crawfish ponds near Natchitoches, La., aren’t producing, agreed there would be plenty of interest in a fall crop. “We can sell them as long as we have live production,” said McGraw, whose Louisiana Crawfish Inc. ships live crawfish by air to customers from Alaska to the Caribbean.

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

Look at today’s West cards and the auction and pick an opening lead against South’s game. North’s double was “negative.” Some people have an almost religious persuasion about leading from sequential holdings. Maybe they think the card gods are telling them what to lead, like a teacher giving a pupil a lesson deal with an obvious opening lead. West, with TWO sequences, chose the king of clubs. South won, took the A-K of hearts to pitch a club from dummy, and led a spade. West won, cashed a club and shifted to a trump, but South won and crossruffed. He took two hearts, a club and eight trump tricks.

FAST TRICK A trump lead against an 11-trick contract is rare – it’s often better to lead aggressively to try to set up a fast trick – but West had the black suits tied up, and North-South lacked a good heart fit. South would surely need ruffs. West prevails if he leads a trump. He will regain the lead in time to lead a second trump, and South ends a trick short.

HOROSCOPE

CROSSWORD

Wednesday, July 21, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Josh Hartnett, 32; Charlotte Gainsbourg, 39; Jon Lovitz, 53; Robin Williams, 59 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Be prepared to make unusual choices that will mold your future in a way you least expect. The time for change – like it or not – is now. Socializing and discovering what’s available will broaden your outlook and help you realize what you can and want to have in your life. This can be an exciting time, if you embrace it. Your numbers are 4, 12, 24, 26, 30, 33, 46 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Take advantage of anything and everything that is going your way. You can add to your skills, which will pay off when asked to do something you regarded as impossible in the past. Don’t let the uncertainty you face hold you back. ★★★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Ask others for help to expand your horizons and reach your goals. Travel will lead to information and interaction with people with whom you can collaborate to accomplish something extraordinary. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Push and pull situations will lead to disaster. You have to keep an even balance when dealing with others. Fairness will be the key to getting things done and taking care of professional and personal business. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Do things that will help your emotional well-being. Home improvements will pay off mentally, physically and financially. Do much of the work yourself and you will feel proud of your accomplishments. A partnership is in the stars. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Travel, intrigue and an interesting turn of events are heading your way. Take on a new challenge and face whatever comes your way, knowing you have what it takes to come out on top. ★★★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Double-check everything you do and what others do for you. You cannot assume that anything is going to be perfect, unless you give it your undivided attention. There is money to be made and household changes that will improve your surroundings and increase your assets. ★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): A partnership can lead to greater opportunities, as long as you lay down the ground rules before you make a commitment. Don’t give up too much because you are emotionally vulnerable. Mixing personal and professional interest will be difficult. ★★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The more organized you are, the easier it will be to plan for the future. Last-minute social invitations may not be easy for you to attend. However, it’s a must in terms of the people you will meet and the knowledge you will gather. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Don’t let someone else’s responsibilities put a hold on the things you want to do to improve your surroundings or your personal life. Uncertainty regarding love may surface if you cannot find a way to resolve your differences. Maintain upfront and open communication. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You don’t need someone confusing your life or your decisions. Go it alone, especially if it is a financial venture. You have to be ready to act when the time is right if you are going to get ahead. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You can expect to face some deception when dealing with partners. You should be considering ways to utilize your talents more efficiently. Things aren’t likely to pan out if you are working in conjunction with someone, unless you got promises in writing. ★★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Emotional upset will surface and disagreements with partners will lead to a delay in your plans. Don’t get angry, even if you are disappointed. Meddling or using emotional tactics to get others to bend to your wishes will backfire. ★★

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S K Q 10 6 H Q 5 D 4 3 C K Q J 10 4. Your partner opens one heart, and the next player passes. What do you say? ANSWER: This problem is no harder than it looks, but many players would err by responding one spade. True, you want to locate a fit in the major suit, but the hand has enough strength for several bids, hence to bid two clubs is correct. If partner rebids two hearts, try two spades next, showing both suits while keeping the auction low. South dealer N-S vulnerable

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

Jobless benefits provide critical safety net

AP

Job searchers work on computers at WorkSource Oregon Tuesday in Portland, Ore. BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – The unemployment benefits extension bill being debated this week in Congress could

help as many as 146,000 North Carolinians, including thousands who are out of work in the greater High Point area. Jobless benefits not

only have been critical to keeping individuals and families afloat, but leading to spending at local businesses, said Alexandra Sirota, a policy ana-

lyst with the N.C. Justice Center in Raleigh. The Senate moved Tuesday toward approval of a bill to keep providing unemployment benefits

for up to 99 weeks to more than 5 million long-term unemployed in the United States. Analysts estimate

Wake Forest University School of Law Professor Suzanne Reynolds was named the law school’s executive associate dean for academic affairs. Reynolds takes over the position from Professor Ron Wright, who has served in the post for the past three academic years.

LAID-BACK CYCLIST

City pays top $$$ for site of future power substation BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

SONNY HEDGECOCK | HPE

Retired High Point police officer Keith Washington knows how to stay in shape and have fun too. He rides his recumbent bike at least 14 miles per day, and 40 miles is not out of his range. Here he travels along Johnson Street near Parris Avenue.

HIGH POINT – High Point leaders have signed off on the purchase of a future electric substation site despite complaints that the city was paying too much. The city will pay $110,000 for 10 acres on Jackson Lake Road for the project. City officials said a new substation is needed in that area – which is just east of the city limits – to relieve some of the load at existing substations nearby and provide backup to the existing facilities for maintenance and outage restoration. In addition, the city is obligated to serve the area when it is annexed, as expected, under a 1989 agreement with Duke Energy. Although the area is rural, future development is anticipated because of its proximity to multi-lane highways, such as Business Interstate 85 and the U.S. 311 Bypass. The City Council approved the purchase Monday by a 6-3 vote, with members Bill Bencini, John Faircloth and Mike Pugh opposed. The property, a mixture of pasture and crop land, has a tax value of $78,000 and an appraised value of $100,000. “It’s hard to envision paying

above the tax value in today’s market,” said Faircloth, who is a Realtor. Officials said the property had been on the market for about a year, and the seller’s asking price had been $200,000. “I think we’re being gouged,” said Pugh, also a Realtor. “We’ve paid too much for things in the past.” City staff tried to find other sites in the area but could find no available acreage with suitable topography with a willing seller. “If you’ve got another piece of property, we’ll take a look at it. We’ve got to deliver electricity in that area,” said Councilman Latimer Alexander. “Staff looked at a lot of different properties, and there were no willing sellers. We’d probably have a very difficult time finding land that wouldn’t exceed the cost of this because of the development costs that would come with it.” The amount of the contract approved by the council is still well under the $300,000 that has been budgeted for the project, according to the city. “Forty-one percent over and above the tax value – I just think that’s too much money,” said Bencini. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

Jamestown hits rewind on rezoning issue BY JORDAN HOWSE ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

JAMESTOWN – Residents of Jamestown, wearing their “Save the Forestdale neighborhood” buttons, finally won their battle over the rezoning of the neighborhood. After a public hearing, the Jamestown Town Council not only changed the zoning of the Forestdale, Knollwood and Potter neighborhoods back to single-family residential but also five other properties that they rezoned in 2009 for commercial use. “This Town Council is here for our benefit,” said Forestdale resident Steve Dalton. “We just wanted them to know how we felt, so

they could make the best decision for our neighborhood.” Last week, the residents of Forestdale and their supporters attended the Planning and Zoning Board meeting to ask planners to support rescinding the 2009 decision to zone the neighborhood to commercial use. After listening to residents, the board voted to recommend to the Town Council that the neighborhood be returned to its single-family residential status. “The people have a strong desire to rezone, and we have to represent the people,” said Matthew Johnson, planning director, at Tuesday’s Town Council meeting. Kerry Miller, who serves on the Planning and Zoning Board, said

the area originally was rezoned to be considered for future growth and development for Jamestown. Will Ragsdale, a Town Council member, said while growth should be considered, changing residential areas to commercial use does not have to be the way. Residents of the Forestdale neighborhood said they did not realize until recently that the city had rezoned parts of the neighborhood from single-family to commercial and mixed-use zoning, including multifamily residential. The city rezoned the portions of the neighborhood in July 2009 along with changes to the zoning district map and ordinance updates. “We failed to communicate,”

Hugh Cates, a Forestdale resident, said Tuesday. “I hope this will be a learned lesson for all of us.” “There was no covert mission,” Councilman Frank Gray said. “We are here to right a wrong.” Council member Georgia NixonRoney moved to revert all the properties that were rezoned in 2009 to their zoning prior to that vote. The motion passed unanimously and Mayor Keith Volz put on his “Save the Forestdale neighborhood” button. Residents say they are glad their hard work has paid off and plan to stay involved in the town’s government.

Local Elvis wins worldwide Fan’s Choice poll BY DIANNA BELL ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

WINSTON-SALEM – Stephen Freeman, a former Thomasville and High Point police officer turned Elvis impersonator, won a worldwide Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Fan’s Choice Poll that was announced July 14. This qualifies him for the Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest in Memphis, Tenn., Aug. 12. “I was always an Elvis fan,” Freeman said of becoming an impersonator. “It sprang from that. I started doing parties, and then it just grew from there.” Freeman has been impersonating ‘The King’ professionally for 13 years. “I’ve performed in Las Vegas, Wisconsin and on a cruise in the Bahamas,” Freeman said. Freeman also performs annually at the Barn Dinner Theater in Greensboro with sellout shows for “Christmas with Elvis.” His notoriety and large fan-base led thousands of voters to pick Freeman as their No. 1 choice for top Elvis tribute artist in the

June 1 to July 12 online poll. “I encouraged voting through a newsletter,” Freeman said. Fans were only allowed to vote once. The top 10 vote-getters were tracked among hundreds until the cut-off date, when Freeman was announced as the winner. This is one of multiple preliminary competitions around the world that secures a spot in the Ultimate contest, with the Elvis Tribute Artist Contests spanning as far as Japan. With these competitions as well as the holy grail in Memphis, judges critique the impersonators on their ability to most closely resemble “The King.” They make sure their costumes and songs match up to the correct era. Vocals, range, voice and dance moves also are major aspects that judges evaluate. The first Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest was held in 2007 with 24 contestants participating. Since then, the event has grown with more preliminary contests, making competition tougher. This is not Freeman’s first time competing in

ruled unanimously Tuesday in favor of Robert Lee Pastuer. He’s serving a life sentence after a jury convicted him last year. His wife, Narskelsky Pastuer, was found stabbed to death in

the Ultimate contest, though. Last year, he had a first place finish at a competition at Harrah’s Casino in Cherokee which qualified him for the Ultimate event. He made it through to the semi-finals there. Hopefully this previous experience com-

bined with his years of experience in performing will give him an edge on other competitors. And this year, Freeman plans on a better finish. “It would be an honor to place in the top three,” Freeman said. editor@hpe.com | 888-3537

2006 in her car trunk near Franklinton. Judge Henry Hight denied a request by Pastuer’s attorney to dismiss the murder charge after prosecutors presented evidence. The appeals court says

the evidence may raise a strong suspicion of guilt but fell short of what’s required to determine he committed the crime. Pastuer could be released from prison unless there’s another appeal.

Lexington man faces sexual assault charges BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

DAVIDSON COUNTY – A Lexington man faces sexual assault charges after an investigation by Davidson County authorities. Sheriff’s office detectives took a report on April 14 regarding a possible sexual assault of a juvenile. After an investigation, detectives have alleged that Edward Lee King Jr. committed sex acts upon a minor during 2007, according to the sheriff’s office.

Authorities listed the location of the alleged incident as Long Bow Drive in Lexington. King, 29, of Harris Road, was arrested on Friday and charged with one count of first-degree sexual offense with a child and one count of indecent liberties with a child, according to the sheriff’s office. Deputies said he was booked into the Davidson County Jail under a $200,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in Davidson County District Court on Aug. 24.

In an unrelated case, investigators charged a man with committing a robbery in the Tyro community. Deputies responded to a home on N.C. 150 South Monday to investigate a report involving stolen money. They were informed that Zachary David Myers had gone to a family member’s home to borrow money. After being refused, Myers allegedly picked up a purse and began to leave with it without permission of the owner, depu-

ties said. A scuffle ensued and Myers left with the purse, authorities said. Myers was later found with the stolen property at his Peartree Road residence and deputies returned the purse and most of the money it contained to the victim. Myers, 24, was charged with common law robbery and booked into the Davidson County Jail under a $40,000 bond, deputies said. pkimbrough@hpe.com 888-3531

the bill would lead to an injection of an estimated $33 billion into the $14.6 trillion U.S. economy during the next five months. In North Carolina, up to 146,000 people have been listed as having exhausted unemployment benefits since July 2, according to the N.C. Employment Security Commission. If the congressional bill passes the House and Senate and is signed by President Barack Obama, the legislation would restore payments to those who were cut off since July 2. The bill would extend expanded unemployment insurance benefits through Nov. 30, according to the office of Democratic Sen. Kay Hagan. The bill has been caught up in political haggling for weeks in Washington, D.C., over how to fund the unemployment compensation extension. One sign of the pressing need: There are almost five unemployed workers actively seeking a job nationally for each single

job opening, according to figures from May from the Economic Policy Institute in Washington. Between June of last year and this May, approximately $500 million in unemployment benefits was paid to out-of-work applicants in Guilford, Davidson and Randolph counties, according to the N.C. Justice Center. The payments during the period include $292.8 million in Guilford County, $118.2 million in Davidson County and $88.8 million in Randolph County. “Since the start of the recession, North Carolinians have received $2.2 billion in unemployment insurance payments. These benefits, in turn, have generated $3.7 billion in economic activity across all 100 of the state’s counties. Absent unemployment insurance payments, the state’s economic woes would be worse,” the center reports.

Police Chief Scott Cunningham said that officers would be trained on the ordinance each year and would not search minors unless there was evidence that the minor had recently painted graffiti. That evidence could include spray paint on a minor’s hands, while the minor was still near freshly painted graffiti.

RALEIGH (AP) – The computer-based sweepstakes games at hundreds of North Carolina Internet cafes, business service centers and other places are officially on their way out after Gov. Beverly Perdue on Tuesday signed a ban on the games starting Dec. 1. Perdue held no billsigning ceremony for the measure approved by the Legislature two weeks ago in the closing days of this year’s session. The signing was expected – Perdue’s office had said earlier the governor likely would sign the bill.

The General Assembly voted to extend the 2006 ban on video poker machines to games operators say are designed to attract consumers to purchase phone or Internet time. Ban supporters argued the games were meant to get around the previous ban while players gambled away their money. Sweepstakes business owners said the ban would do away with up to 10,000 jobs in the industry during the ongoing economic slump and argued the games were promotional tools.

HUNTERSVILLE – A team of divers found the bodies Tuesday morning of the two youths who drowned while swimming Sunday on Lake Norman, authorities said. With family members watching from the shore, divers located the bodies of Derrick Alante Porter, 17, and Eric Christian Belin, 11. Fire and rescue personnel who were coordinating the search relayed the word to the family members on shore about 9 a.m., according to reports from the scene. Authorities have not said exactly where the bodies were found, but several reports indicate it was in the area where searchers had concentrated their efforts. The discovery came on the third day of searching by crews who combed miles of lakebed with sonar and divers. Authorities on Monday identified the boys as outof-state visitors, and released more details about how a swim near their boat turned deadly. Officials haven’t said whether they were wearing life jackets or not. Sunday’s drownings and other deaths this summer should warn everyone who rides in a boat or swims in a lake to always wear a life jacket, marine safety experts say. The two victims were visiting the Charlotte area, authorities say. They said Derrick Porter was from Chesapeake, Va., and Eric Belin was from South Carolina. The boys were swimming off a boat floating in the middle of the lake near Sam Furr Road and West Catawba Avenue with two other boys around 3 p.m., authorities said. 30007993

Iran parliament adopts bill against inspections TEHRAN, Iran – Iran’s parliament authorized the government Tuesday to retaliate against countries that inspect cargo on Iranian ships and aircraft as part of new U.N. sanctions over its nuclear program. Lawmakers, hoping to discourage compliance with a fourth round of Security Council penalties, passed a bill allowing the government to respond in kind, with cargo inspections of its own.

Pakistani counterterrorism official resigns ISLAMABAD – The head of a federal group meant to coordinate Pakistan’s fight against terrorism resigned Tuesday amid a bureaucratic turf battle waged as the country continues to suffer militant attacks, officials said. The resignation of Tariq Pervez came several hours after army guards shot and killed three suspected suicide bombers and two other militants as they tried to enter a sprawling military firing range in northwestern Pakistan. The government established the National Counterterrorism Authority in early 2009.

Cuba dissidents told exile muddles US asylum HAVANA – The United States appears to have modified a pledge to take in freed Cuban political prisoners, telling their relatives that it will be more difficult for them to apply for asylum if they first accept a Churchbrokered deal to trade jail for exile in Spain. The warnings, confirmed by the family members of six imprisoned dissidents, come at a delicate time and could complicate the releases of 52 activists, journalists and opposition leaders arrested in a 2003 crackdown.

Ex-MI5 spy chief: No link between Iraq, 9/11 LONDON (AP) – The war in Iraq led to a loss of focus on the threat from al-Qaida, emboldened the group’s leader Osama bin Laden, and helped to breed a generation of homegrown terrorists, Britain’s former domestic spy chief told an inquiry Tuesday. Making the sharpest criticism so far aired in Britain’s inquiry into mistakes made in the Iraq war, Eliza ManninghamBuller, director of the MI5 agency between 2002 and 2007, said Britain’s government paid little attention to warnings that the war would fuel domestic terrorism. Manningham-Buller also said Iraq had posed little threat before the 2003 U.S.-led invasion, and insisted there was no evidence of a link between former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein and the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.

Talk of a 2014 date – which corresponds with the end of Karzai’s term – enables politicians to tell their war-weary publics that the war will not drag on indefinitely. It also sends a signal to the Afghans that the Western commitment to the country will extend beyond July 2011, when President Barack Obama says he will begin withdrawing troops. Nonetheless, it leaves open the question of whether the Afghans will be ready to manage their affairs. The international community supported Karzai’s 2014 goal and endorsed a phased-in transition for Afghan policemen and soldiers to take the lead in the country’s 34 provinces.

Spill chief says the capped well is holding up

AP

Sen. Carte Goodwin, D-W.Va., newly-sworn as the appointed successor to West Virginia’s Robert Byrd who died in June, provided the crucial vote for Senate Democrats to cut off a Republican delay on restoring unemployment benefits to millions.

Filibuster broken; jobless benefits may flow soon WASHINGTON (AP) – Senate Democrats broke through a stubborn Republican filibuster Tuesday and pressed to restart jobless benefits for 21⠄2 million Americans still unable to find work in the frail national economic recovery. The Democrats were victorious by the single vote of a new senator sworn in only moments earlier. Senators voted 60-40 to move ahead on the bill, clearing the way for a final vote in the chamber today. The recovery from the nation’s long and deep recession has produced

relatively few new jobs so far, and millions of people’s unemployment benefits began running out seven weeks ago as Congress bogged down in an impasse over whether the $34 billion cost of a fresh extension of benefits should be paid for with budget cuts or be added to the $13 trillion national debt. Democrats emphasized the plight of the unemployed and argued that putting money in the pockets of jobless families would also boost economic revival. “This bill is about jobs because unemployment

NEW ORLEANS (AP) – The government’s oil spill chief tried to tamp down fears Tuesday that BP’s capped well is buckling under the pressure, saying that seepage detected along the sea floor less than two miles away is coming from an older well no longer in production. Retired Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen also said at least five leaks have been discovered around the well machinery, but he dismissed them as “very small drips� – “not unlike an oil leak you might have in your car.� Over the past few days, since a 75-ton cap was placed over the mile-deep well to keep the oil bottled up inside, BP

and government engineers have been watching closely to see whether the well would hold tight or show signs of rupturing under the pressure. A rupture could cause a bigger and harder-tocontrol disaster. Allen has granted BP repeated 24-hour extensions to keep the cap in place, as long as the company monitors the well scrupulously. Meanwhile, the end game in the three-month crisis appeared to be drawing closer, with BP vice president Kent Wells saying the drilling of the relief well – necessary to permanently plug up the well – is on track.

LEONARD PITTS: Let them build the mosque. It’s the American way. TOMORROW

Funeral is not the place to criticize deceased U.S. Sen. Robert Byrd was a relic. He was also, at least for part of his life, a racist. And yes, even after “denouncing” the Klan, he filibustered the 1964 Civil Right Act – which makes you wonder if he really denounced the ideas of the Klan, or if he just publicly denounced the KKK for political reasons. So when The High Point Enterprise columnists Steve Bryant and Mike Hughes and guest columnist Tony Moschetti wrote pieces about Byrd following his death, they were partly right in doing so. Where they were not right was in their assertion that President Clinton was wrong for not taking Byrd to task for his racist past while speaking at his memorial service. There is a time and a place for everything, and a funeral is not the time and place to criticize the deceased. The reaction from the Right to President Clinton’s eulogy at Byrd’s memorial service says more about the Right than it does about Clinton or Byrd. It shows,

yet again, that the Far-Right in this country is so full of venom, hate and paranoia that even a eulogy becomes politics as usual. No one is promised tomorrow. We are all going to die. When we do – I say to Bryant, Hughes and Moschetti – hopefully our friends and families will remember us fondly and say nice things about us at our funerals and not take us to task for the bad stuff we did in our life. ... Hopefully. SCOTT STOVER High Point

Teachings of the Bible take precedence for Christians In response to Rich Pohlman’s letter of July 7 (“Catholic Church in U.S. has about 70 million members”), let’s compare his assertions to Scripture. To be a Christian, one must follow the teachings of the Bible.

In John 6:29, Jesus says, “This is the work of God, that ye believe on Him (Christ) whom He (God the Father) hath sent.” In Acts 16:30-31, in response to the question, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”, Paul and Silas answered, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.” There is no salvation by works in these verses. Jesus founded the church, the body of Christ, on Himself, not Peter, referring in Matthew 16:18 to Peter’s confession in verse 16. Peter also states this in I Peter 2:4-9. John 14:16 does not even refer to the Holy Ghost! Christians worship God alone, not relics, “saints” and all the other trappings of the Catholic Church. John is called “the Baptist,” not John the Catholic or charismatic or some other name. John preached the gospel of the kingdom as the forerunner of Christ. Today, fundamental, Bible-believing Baptists preach salvation by grace through faith in the death,

burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the message of the church age. According to an ex-priest, the Catholic Church has as many factions as the Baptists or any other group. Although Martin Luther is given credit for the Protestant Reformation, it actually started many years before that. By the way, Baptists aren’t Protestant. We were never part of the Catholic Church. Read the King James Bible, not some perversion thereof, and take what it says at face value – believe it literally, not what someone reads into it. RAY ALCON High Point

t was not news most of us were wanting to hear, because for many folks the new segment of the U.S. 311 Bypass can’t open too soon. Instead of the mid-summer opening that we had hoped for, the word now from the N.C. Department of Transportation is that the bypass route from U.S. 29/70 to Interstate 85 and on to its temporary terminus near Glenola in northern Randolph County probably won’t be open until November, at least. That news is disappointing because last fall and earlier this year, it appeared as though the $104 million construction project was ahead of schedule, had not been slowed by inclement weather and would be ready for opening this month. DOT officials told the Enterprise that the slowdown in construction now might be because the contractor needs crews to work on another project elsewhere. DOT officials also noted that even a November opening date would be earlier than the project’s contractual completion date, mid-May of next year. That’s really little consolation for those anticipating an opening this summer, and it also raises the question of why a contract will allow such an apparently long period of time for construction projects to be completed. Are DOT officials and professional staff allowing contractors too much time in the project contracts to complete construction? Can contractors be held to a shorter, but reasonable, timetable for completing work? Can contracts be drawn to include incentives for completing work early? We certainly don’t claim to know the ins and outs of highway construction, but we do wonder why if last fall and earlier this year officials were eyeing a possible opening this month that now there appears to be such uncertainty as to the project’s completion date. That’s also magnified by earlier statements that inclement weather was having little impact on construction. Although the end is coming, it’s still disappointing to those who’ve been waiting so long.

President’s magic words delay economic recovery

I

f you could spend vast amounts of other people’s money just by saying a few magic words, wouldn’t you be tempted to do it? Barack Obama has spent hundreds of billions of dollars of the taxpayers’ money just by using the magic words “stimulus” and “jobs.” It doesn’t matter politically that the stimulus is not actually stimulating and that the unemployment rate remains up near double-digit levels, despite all the spending and all the rhetoric about jobs. And of course nothing negative will ever matter to those who are part of the Obama cult, including many in the media. But, for the rest of us, there is a lot to think about in the economic disaster that we are in. Not only has all the runaway spending and rapid escalation of the deficit to record levels failed to make any real headway in reducing unemployment, all this money pumped into the economy has also failed to produce inflation. The latter is a good thing in itself but its implications are sobering. How can you pour trillions of dollars into the economy and not even see the price level go up significantly? Economists have long known that it is not just the amount of money, but also the speed with which it circulates, that affects the price level. Last year, the Wall Street Journal reported that the velocity of circulation of money in the American economy has plummeted to its lowest level in half a century. Money that people don’t spend does not cause inflation. It also does not stimulate the economy. The current issue of Bloomberg Businessweek has a feature article about businesses that are just holding on to huge sums of money. They say, for example, that the pharmaceutical company Pfizer is holding on to $26 billion. If so, there should not be any great mystery as to why they don’t invest it. With the Obama administration being on an anti-business kick, boasting of putting their foot on some business’ neck, and the president talking about putting his foot on another part of the anatomy, with Congress coming up with more and more red tape, more mandates and more heavy-handed interventions in businesses,

would you risk $26 billion that you might not even be able to get back, much less make any money on the deal? Pfizer is not unique. Banks have cut back on lending, despite all the billions of dollars that were dumped into them in the name of OPINION “stimulus.” Consumers have also cut back on spending. Thomas For the first time, more gold is Sowell being bought as an investment to ■■■ be held as a hedge against a currently non-existent inflation than is being bought by the makers of jewelry. There may not be any inflation now, but eventually that money is going to start moving, and so will the price level. Despite a big decline in the amount of gold used to make jewelry, the demand for gold as an investment has risen so steeply as to more than make up for the reduced demand for gold jewelry, and has in fact pushed the price of gold to record high levels. What does all this say? That people don’t know what to expect next from this administration, which seldom lets a month go by without some new anti-business laws, policies or rhetoric. When you hire somebody in this environment, you know what you have agreed to pay them and what additional costs there may be for their health insurance or other benefits. But you have no way of knowing what additional costs the politicians in Washington are going to impose, when they are constantly coming up with new bright ideas for imposing more mandates on business. There is no free lunch – and the biggest price of all is paid by people who are unemployed because politicians cannot leave the economy alone to recover, as the American economy has repeatedly recovered faster when left alone than when politicians decided that they have to “do something.” THOMAS SOWELL, a native of North Carolina, is a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305.

The problem is America’s lack of private sector jobs BY CHUCK BINO

T

7A

GUEST COLUMN

he Your View letter’s headline on July 5 was “Republicans deny jobless the benefits they need.� Factually, that is neither complete, nor accurate, as some Democrats agreed with the GOP against continuing jobless benefits without proper funding. The GOP thinks it can be done without unnecessarily increasing the national debt. Another half-truth accused the GOP of getting large contributions, while the writer failed to state that notable Democrats are at the top of the same lists. Our real problem is the lack of private sector jobs. Let’s consider how this might have happened. In the last century, Sam Walton advertised and boasted Wal-Mart goods as “Made in America.� That didn’t last long, because Americans wanted a really “good deal.� He agreed to imported products. Other retailers also imported and sold Reebok shoes at temporarily lower prices, followed by the demise of the U.S. shoe industry. It didn’t take very long for the public’s selfish, “bargain mentality� to affect textiles, steel, electronics, computers, and even food. If I knew, then, that paying a couple dollars more would keep me and my neighbors working,

---

I’d gladly have done the “right thing.� So, “we the people� are contributory to the loss of our domestic industries. A supporting problem is that we keep electing incompetent legislators, perpetual spenders, and entitlement pimps, who can’t grasp that “jobs� are their priority. The wrong thing is to “BandAid� the problem by perpetuating unemployment benefits, expanding government, or punishing success with increased taxes. Government must operate within its means, and not bail out business failure when the markets tend to repair themselves. Congress must attract and grow private business in the U.S. The Reagan team gave us the means to do that. This administration fails to learn the easy lessons from recent history. The secret to landing a job is to have better qualifications and more reasonable salary needs than your fellow job seekers. The ability to keep that job will require that one continue to be more productive than those who are willing to do the same job for lower wages. If not, one gets replaced. That’s quite an incentive! If you substitute the terms “product,� “quality� and “cost�

for “jobs,� “qualifications� and “wages,� the same “replacement phenomena� occurs with our commercial products regionally, nationally and globally. The same incentives are involved. This is not rocket science! Another writer railed against evil corporations who bribe Congress. But he failed to list the numerous unions and front organizations with the same bribery tactics. He extolled “we the people� as those whose work (taxes) bail out the banks, those who will “fix it.� Well, that will be hard to do without the employ of viable corporations, entrepreneurs and LLCs. Does he understand that many of us are invested in those same firms as stockholders and employees? So what to do? We can all demand and accept jobs with the government. We may survive for a while as a “service� economy. We’ll deliver mail to each other, prepare each other’s taxes and take turns driving ourselves on public transportation to and from our jobs at City Hall. Or “we the people� could learn from history, replace those who continue to wreck this economy, and hold responsible those in public and private sectors for their destructive deeds.

ust do it. For many years, I was anything but the personification of Nike’s slogan. I didn’t even began to grasp the true meaning of this powerful maxim until I attempted something so out of my comfort zone that the only motivation I could find was to consider it a leap of faith and “just do it.� That something, ironically enough, was applying for this job with the Enterprise. Reflecting on the immense transformation that both my writing skills and my self-image have undergone, I realize that failing to take advantage of an opportunity is the most damaging misdeed I can do to myself. One year ago, I was a closet writer who would not dare allow anyone to read any of my pieces that held more weight than personalized birthday cards or scholarly essays. One year ago, I didn’t have the guts to label myself as anything somewhat resembling a professional, most especially as something with a dauntingly purposeful tone like “the writer.� One year ago, I was a passive 17-year-old who had an abundance of passions, dreams and carefully thought-out goals. Yet I lacked one essential ingredient for achieving these goals: ambition. To a person without ambition, Mahatma Gandhi’s frequently quoted saying, “Be the change you want to see in the world,� could be subconsciously misinterpreted to mean “Desire to be the change you want to see in the world.� Anyone who has not achieved something as fulfilling as leading a nonviolent independence movement or founding a successful American shoe company might still firmly support these themes. However, “supporting� and “doing� are hardly synonymous.

At first, I was extremely apprehensive to begin work in a position where my TEEN VIEW personal thoughts Leslie Ann would be Blake available ■■■to the public on a monthly basis. I reassured myself by thinking, “Just do it. No one will read your articles anyway.� Little did I know that I would not only have loyal readers, but that these people would provide me with an overwhelming support that has instilled in me a desire to pursue writing professionally. As my class leaves for college in the coming month, and later as we search for jobs, find romance, start families, and try to be a source of change in the world, I pray that we will become not only passionate dreamers, but ambitious doers. Sometimes I still fall into the “supporting� category of people. I am still the queen of procrastination and second-guessing myself. Though thanks to the opportunity the Enterprise presented me with and the immensely supportive community response, the origins of the pressure I put myself under are quite different. I do not labor over each article for fear that my message or my grammar will be inadequate; I push myself out of a pure desire to make this column as inspiring and uplifting as I am capable of making it. My motivations for writing and for life itself have been completely revitalized. And it’s all because I just did it.

Judiciary panel OKs Elena Kagan for Supreme Court

AP

Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., (right) talks with ranking minority member Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., during a hearing of the Senate Judiciary Committee as they vote on the confirmation of Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan on Capitol Hill in Washington Tuesday.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Pushing toward an election-year Supreme Court confirmation vote, a polarized Senate Judiciary Committee Tuesday approved Elena Kagan to be the fourth female justice. Just one Republican joined Democrats to approve Kagan’s nomination and send it to the full Senate, where she’s expected to win confirmation within weeks. “Elena Kagan will be confirmed,” predicted Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., the Judiciary chairman. “She will go on the U.S. Supreme Court.” Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., broke with his

party to cast the sole GOP “yes” vote on President Obama’s nominee to succeed JusKagan tice John Paul Stevens, who retired in June. The vote was 13-6. “What’s in Elena Kagan’s heart is that of a good person who adopts a philosophy I disagree with,” Graham said. “She will serve this nation honorably, and it would not have been someone I would have chosen, but the person who did choose, President Obama, I think chose wisely.”

FDA panel: Study did not show benefit with Avastin WASHINGTON (AP) – Federal health advisers said unanimously Tuesday that a follow-up study of the Roche drug Avastin failed to show meaningful benefits for breast cancer patients. A Food and Drug Administration panel of experts voted 13-0 that the risks and side effects of Avastin outweighed its benefits when used alongside the chemotherapy drug docetaxel. The FDA in 2008 approved Avastin for breast cancer patients based on a trial showing it lengthened the amount of time until the disease worsened

by more than five months. As a condition of approval, Roche was required to conduct follow-up studies to further demonstrate the benefits of adding Avastin to conventional chemotherapy. But two follow-up studies recently submitted by the Swiss drugmaker did not show the same degree of delay in cancer progression as earlier studies. Patients taking Avastin did not show a significant improvement in life span, the gold standard of cancer treatment effectiveness. Additionally, patients taking Avastin reported significant side effects.

4 Massey foremen plead guilty in deadly mine fire CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) – Four men who worked as supervisors at a Massey Energy Co. coal mine where two men died in a conveyer belt fire pleaded guilty Tuesday to federal misdemeanor charges. Each man admitted during a hearing in Charleston federal court that he failed to lead his crew on a required escape drill from Massey’s Aracoma Alma No. 1 mine at various times in 2005 and 2006. Donald Hagy, Jr., 47, of Gilbert; Terry Shadd, 37, of Chapmanville; Edward R. Ellis, Jr., 38, of Justice; and Michael A. Plum-

ley, 38, of Delbarton, also agreed to give up state-issued certificates to work as underground mine foremen in West Virginia. Each faces up to a year in prison and a $100,000 fine. U.S. District Judge John Copenhaver Jr. ordered the men released on $10,000 bonds until their sentencing hearing Oct. 26. The charges stem from federal civil and criminal investigations into the Jan. 19, 2006 fire. Miners Don Bragg and Ellery Elvis Hatfield died after getting lost as they tried to flee from the sprawling underground Logan County mine.

GTCC on pace for record year ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

JAMESTOWN – As the deadline for fall semester registration approaches, Guilford Technical Community College’s enrollment is on a pace to reach a record of more than 15,000 students, according to GTCC officials. Alison Wiers, associate vice president of student learning and success, said the college should break the record enrollment of 13,520 last fall and 13,594

TUITION

–

Effective July 1, community college tuitions increased from $50 to $56.50 per credit hour for in-state students and from $241.30 to $248.50 per hour for out-of-state tuition.

for spring 2010. The final day for fall registration is Aug. 18, with classes beginning Aug. 22.

Wiers said the college has prepared for a 15 percent jump in enrollment over last fall’s registration. College officials have added orientation sessions to handle the growing numbers. “We have more than 11,000 students enrolled, about 27 percent over last year,” she said. “The 11,110 students registered through July 17 is a dramatic increase over the record pace of 8,739 during the same period a year

ago. Class offerings have been increased by 25 percent in all areas and we have expanded weekend and evening class offerings. We have had to hire additional faculty to fill the increased class schedules.” GTCC enrollment has increased for 13 consecutive years and more than doubled from 6,244 students. GTCC and other Triad community college officials say idle and underemployed workers are

enrolling at community colleges to improve their job skills and to seek new careers in growing industries despite tuition increases. Including enrollment for continuing education and basic skills classes, GTCC has a total of more than 40,000 students on campuses in Jamestown, High Point and Greensboro. GTCC has grown to become the fourth largest among 58 community colleges in the state.

GUILFORD COUNTY – Pleasant Garden Fire Department needs a fire truck and will soon have as much as $500,000 to spend for one. If the agency decides not to buy a brand new vehicle, there is another way to go to find a used one. County officials want to contract with GovDeals Inc., an online auction service, to help sell surplus goods. The network also is a source for good used equipment. The Guilford County Board of Commissioners will consider a $10,000 annual GovDeals contract Thursday during a 5:30 p.m. meeting in the Old Courthouse in Greensboro. GovDeals clients report that they receive 20 percent to 60 percent more for goods sold online than they ever received at a live public auction, according to the N.C. Association of County Commissioners. Motor homes, automobiles, fire trucks, jewelry and industrial equipment are among the items listed. Government agencies also use the website to sell confiscated items. The auction network has a current bidder’s base of 88,000. Buyers can search by zip code for wanted items. Clients can list their own goods for sale on a consignment fee basis. Although live traditional auctioning can be messy and costly – largely because goods must be moved to a central auction lot – Guilford County officials say they will continue to offer auction sales twice a year.

Candidate criticizes Obama over nuke waste WILMINGTON (AP) – A Republican candidate for the U.S. House said Tuesday that President Barack Obama’s attempts to shut down Yucca Mountain Nuclear Waste Repository endanger southeastern North Carolina. If the Yucca Mountain project in Nevada is shut down, spent nuclear fuel will have to be stored above ground on the Brunswick Nuclear Plant property near Southport, Ilario Pantano said during a news conference in Wilmington. He said it would be susceptible to hurricanes and too close to the Army’s Sunny Point ammunition depot. “Do you think it is safer for nuclear waste to be stored above ground in Brunswick County or buried deep in a mountain in the desert of Nevada?” Pantano said. Progress Energy has started construction of a storage facility for short-term storage. Calls to Progress Energy, which owns the nuclear plant, were not returned. Obama opposes the plan to bury the nation’s most radioactive spent nuclear fuel 90 miles northwest of Las Vegas. A Nuclear Regulatory Commission legal panel told the federal Department of Energy in June it can’t withdraw its application for the Yucca Mountain repository. The Obama administration has appealed the ruling. Pantano is taking on Rep. Mike McIntyre of Lumberton in the 7th Congressional District.

NC utilities will pay for promoting electric use RALEIGH (AP) – North Carolina electric utilities allowed to increase rates as energy efficiency programs cut usage won’t have free rein to boost sales with promotion campaigns, state regulators said. Shareholder-owned Progress Energy and Duke Energy will have to identify and track promotions that increase power demand, and the state Utilities Commission will calculate how much revenue the companies will have to relinquish, The News & Observer of Raleigh reported Tuesday. The commission imposed the requirement this month on Charlottebased Duke Energy after rejecting the company’s appeal. The commission adopted a similar standard for Raleigh-based Progress Energy last year. Increases in electric-

ity demand that are not prompted by a power company promotion – such as people buying higher-energy digital televisions – are not subject to the new policy. Power companies have been authorized to recover the lost sales, administrative costs and other costs of efficiency programs by increasing rates. The regulator’s decision comes as the power companies anticipate higher power demand as a result of plug-in electric cars. Electric cars need as much power to recharge batteries as a central air conditioner. Duke Energy and Progress Energy are working with the auto industry, local officials and universities to install a statewide network of about 350 recharging stations to help keep electric cars on the road.

Racial tensions roil at school board meeting RALEIGH (AP) – Protesters and police scuffled Tuesday at a school board meeting in North Carolina over claims that a new busing system would resegregate schools, roiling racial tensions reminiscent of the 1960s. Nearly 20 people were

‘Too many prayers were prayed. Too many lives were sacrificed. Too much blood was shed. Too many tears were shed. We can’t turn back now.’ William Barber NAACP leader arrested, including the Rev. William Barber, head of state NAACP chapter who was banned from the meeting after a trespassing arrest at a June school board gath-

ering. “We know that our cause is right,� Barber said shortly before police put plastic handcuffs on his wrists before the meeting started. Inside, more than a dozen demonstrators disrupted the meeting by gathering around a podium, chanting and singing against the board’s policies. After several minutes, Raleigh police intervened and asked them to leave. When they refused, the officers grabbed arms and tried to arrest the protesters. One child was caught in the pushing and shoving, as was school board member Keith Sutton, who was nearly arrested before authorities realized who he was. “Hey, hey, ho, ho, resegregation has got to go,� some protesters chanted. The Wake County School Board has voted multiple times over the last several months to scrap the district’s diversity policy, which distributed students based on socioeconomics and for years had been a model for other districts looking to

Consolidating boatbuilder to add 350 workers in NC RALEIGH (AP) – A luxury yacht builder is getting a boost from North Carolina taxpayers as it consolidates two manufacturing plants and adds an expected 350 jobs in five years. A state incentives committee on Tuesday approved plans for Brunswick Corp. to re-

ceive up to about $3 million if it hires the workers and keeps them for 12 years. The company’s Hatteras Yachts plant in New Bern is ramping up employment again after sharp layoffs last year. Brunswick cut 330 workers in New Bern nearly 18 months

ago after shedding the same amount in August 2008 at factories in New Bern and Edenton. Brunswick said it will close its Cabo Yachts plant in Adelanto, Calif., by year end and move production to the New Bern factory, which now employs 280.

ear Abby: When I was a young teen, my mother gave me a copy of your booklet “What Every Teen Should Know.� She left it on my bed for me to read at my own pace, and let me know that I could come to her if I had any questions, when I was ready to ask them. For years that booklet served as a reference guide for me. I also lent it to many of my friends whose parents were not so forthcoming with this important information. Being informed and not believing urban myths made a big difference in our decisions – and we’re all doing well now. A decade later, I often work with teens who have received no comprehensive education about sex, drugs, or the impact of decisions they make during adolescence. Your booklet remains an important tool in these kids’ educations. I write to encourage all parents, grandparents and relatives of teens to keep a copy of this booklet handy – and to thank those who have already done so. – Kristen Woytonik, Dover, N.H.

That’s why it is so important for parents to take the initiative and discuss alcohol, drugs, sex and FAMILY VALUES with their children well before nature takes over and they start experimenting. My teen booklet contains answers to commonly asked questions such as: How old must a girl be before she can get pregnant? Can a girl get pregnant the first time she has sex? What time of the month is a girl 100 percent safe? How old must a boy be before he can father a child? Another important topic covered is HOW TO AVOID DATE RAPE AND WHAT TO DO IF IT HAPPENS. To order “What Every Teen Should Know,� send your name and address, plus check or money order for $6 (U.S. funds) to Dear Abby, Teen Booklet, P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447.

Shipping and handling are included in the price. My teen booklet also contains information on contraception and sexually transmitted diseases and how to recognize them. It has been distributed in doctors’ offices and used to promote discussion by educators and religious leaders, and is often used by parents who find it difficult to discuss sex with their children. Dear Abby: My niece is being married – again. This will be No. 5. What kind of gift would you suggest? I am out of ideas, as I’m thinking she already has everything. The wedding is in a few months. Help! – Stumped in Reno Dear Stumped: After the second – or third – wedding, one would think the marriage would be a quiet, low-key affair. And because you have already given her four wedding gifts, what you should send her is your good wishes for a long and successful marriage.

poverty or low-performing schools,� he said to scoffs from the crowd. At a morning rally that drew 1,000 people, speakers quoted Martin Luther King Jr., remembered the days of segregated water fountains and likened the current situation to the landmark Brown v. Board of Education battle. Barber talked about America’s legacy of racial strife to galvanize

the crowd. “Too many prayers were prayed,� Barber said. “Too many lives were sacrificed. Too much blood was shed. Too many tears were shed. We can’t turn back now.� Barber’s supporters believe the new policy will resegregate schools. They carried signs that read: “Segregate equals hate� and “History is not a mystery.

Separate is always unequal.� George Ramsay, a white former student body president of Enloe High School, said it was necessary to keep the diversity policy in place to prepare students for an increasingly connected world. “It is shortsighted to ignore the way students like me have been enriched by diversity,� Ramsay said.

Brain aneurysms and their treatment

D

ear Dr. Donohue: I would like to know about brain aneurysms. Two years ago, I was diagnosed with one. I was offered the choice of treatment or doing nothing. I chose to do nothing. I had follow-up MRIs. Now I have a smaller one, and the first one hasn’t grown. I am to have another MRI in the fall. I am concerned about all the radiation from these MRIs. I am 76 years old. – A.A.

BLONDIE

The MRI radiation issue isn’t an issue. Magnetic resonance imaging doesn’t involve any radiation. It involves magnets and magnetic fields. A brain aneurysm is like an aneurysm on any other body artery: It’s a bulge, and it represents a weak spot. Actually, it’s more like a blister. All aneurysms have an inherent risk of bursting and causing brisk bleeding. That’s a danger anywhere in the body. In the brain, it often is calamitous. Your aneurysm was discovered by chance. Am I right? You had a silent aneurysm, and a brain scan was taken for some other purpose. That’s how many brain aneurysms are discovered. Few produce symptoms before they actually burst. Not all aneurysms break. Many, many remain silent for all of life. Your age, the size of the aneurysm and its posi-

tion in the brain are the factors that have to be considered in weighing whether HEALTH to leave it alone or Dr. Paul treat it. Donohue It can be ■■■ treated by a neurosurgeon, who clips its base, or by a doctor, who inches a catheter – a slender, pliable tube – from a surface artery to the involved brain artery. When the aneurysm is reached, tiny latex or metallic coils are released into it to obliterate it. A diameter of less than 7 mm is considered small, and such aneurysms often are left alone. Ones that are 10 mm or larger are more likely to break, and those often are treated. Those between 7 mm and 10 mm are iffy. Age is another important consideration. At ages older than 70, correction is less strongly urged, unless the aneurysm is quite large. Location is another important factor. Brain aneurysms in some places are less likely to break than those in other regions of the brain. All of this is understandably overwhelming to a patient. Why not get a second opinion so you can better weigh your options? Dear Dr. Donohue:

Will you talk about Peyronie’s disease, its causes and treatments? – T.D. Peyronie’s (pay-rowKNEES) disease is a lump of scar tissue that forms in the penis and causes it to bend. The bend can make an erection and sexual relations painful or impossible. In some men, the condition regresses on its own. In a larger number, it stabilizes, and the pain greatly lessens. In a third group, the bend and pain worsen. What causes it is disputed. It might be that trifling, unnoticed trauma occurring during sexual relations through the years sets the stage for the development of the scar lump. Many medicines have been tried. Potaba is one. Pentoxifylline is another. Neither has been a great success. Injecting the scar lump with Verapamil is a frequent treatment, and the injection of collagenase, an enzyme that dissolves scars, also has been tried. Surgical corrections for Peyronie’s that has lasted longer than a year are worthy of consideration. DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible. Readers may write him or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475

Blagojevich lawyers say ex-governor may not testify

Lohan reports to jail LYNWOOD, Calif. (AP) – Whisked away to a women’s jail in an unmarked sheriff’s car after a brief hearing, Lindsay Lohan reported Tuesday for a 90-day sentence Lohan that the troubled actress likely will serve in isolation, and which may be significantly shortened. The 24-year-old showed up at the Beverly Hills courtroom about 10 minutes late. After a short hearing, she rose and was handcuffed behind her

Confetti flies as Lindsay Lohan, with an unidentified man, arrives at the Beverly Hills courthouse in Beverly Hills, Calif., Tuesday. back to serve her time for a probation violation. Lohan was accompanied to court by her mother, Dina, and younger sister Ali, who wiped away tears after her sister was taken into lockup. Her estranged father, Michael Lohan, yelled, “We love you Lindsay!�

as his daughter was led away. She was then taken across town to the Century Regional Detention Facility in the industrial suburb of Lynwood. In court, Lohan was represented by her longtime attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley, who had resigned earlier but never

filed a formal motion with the court. Famed celebrity attorney Robert Shapiro said Friday that he had agreed to represent the actress, but Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Marsha Revel said Tuesday that he had told her hours earlier that he would not take the case.

CHICAGO (AP) – Attorneys for Rod Blagojevich said Tuesday they disagree about whether the ousted Illinois governor should testify in his own defense – as he has long promised he would – and whether they should call any defense witnesses at all. If he does not testify, it would bring a swift end to a corruption trial that was expected to last throughout the summer. He is accused of charges including trying to sell or trade an appointment

to Barack Obama’s Senate seat. Jurors w o u l d not hear Blagojevich d i r e c t l y from a politician who loudly proclaimed his innocence. It would also mean that the only time Blagojevich’s voice was heard in court was on secret FBI wiretap tapes played by prosecutors and attorneys for his brother, who is also charged.

West goalie Alex Kubrick, who starred at Ragsdale High School, watches the approach of East’s Lexi Miller (Raleigh Broughton) during Tuesday night’s East-West All-Star soccer match at UNCG Soccer Stadium in Greensboro. Kubrick was not scored upon in the West’s 4-1 victory.

Kubrick’s star shines for West BY DANIEL KENNEDY SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

GREENSBORO – Alex Kubrick flashed a bright smile as she walked off the field for the final time Tuesday during the 2010 N.C. Coaches Association East-West All-Star Game at UNCG Soccer Stadium. The former Ragsdale goalkeeper had every reason to smile in making her way back to the bench, having just completed 40 minutes of stellar play without surrendering a goal. Thanks to Kubrick’s efforts in tying down a high-octane East lineup, her team was able to capitalize with aggressive play on the offensive end and the West cruised to a 4-1 victory. “I had a good defense in front of me,” Kubrick said following her impressive performance. “I just took it as any other game.

These are very good players, but the game is the same. All you can do is come out and do the best you can and that’s what I did.” Shortly after the West jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the 20th minute, the Tigers’ former keeper departed the game halfway through the first half. She returned after intermission to start the second half and gave the team more of the same dominance in her second 20minute stint. Kubrick recorded a pair of saves and allowed her teammates to quickly become the aggressors on the wings. Four different All-Stars from the West got into the scoring column and Alex Kachulis of Weddington took home MVP honors. Brandi Baldwin from Monroe Sun Valley netted the first goal for the winning squad, while Waxhaw Marvin Ridge’s Ashley Arag-

ona and Northwest Guilford’s Jennifer McGorty both added a second-half score for the West. One could easily have made a case for Kubrick as the MVP, as the only goal scored by the East came 10 minutes after Kubrick was removed from the game in the first half. Having enjoyed her time at Ragsdale and playing with some of North Carolina’s most talented athletes as an All-Star, the former All-State, All-Conference Defensive Player of the Year concludes her high school career and anxiously awaits her newest challenge at UNC-Charlotte, where she’ll play for the 49ers on scholarship. “It was a great experience,” Kubrick said of the All-Star game. “It was even better than I thought it would be. It is definitely something I’m going to remember forever. It was a blast.”

High Point’s Womble advances in U.S. Junior ADA, Mich. (AP) – Curtis Thompson of Coral Springs, Fla., birdied his final hole Tuesday to win medalist honors by one stroke at the U.S. Junior Amateur Championship. High Point’s Davis Womble, who shared the first-round lead, carded a 3-under 69 on Tuesday to tie for fourth place in stroke play and easily advance to today’s first round of match play. The top 64 after stroke play qualified for match play. Womble, a rising junior at Wesleyan Christian Academy who opened with a 67, carded six birdies and three bogeys en route to an 8under 136. The cut came at 5-over 149. Kernersville’s Jonathan DiIanni, a rising junior at Westchester Country Day School, saw his hopes of qualifying for match play dim early after going 9-over for his first six holes. He finished at 74-81–156 and tied for 125th in the strong 156-player field. The 17-year-old Thompson, whose younger sister Alexis won the 2008 U.S. Girls Junior Championship, shot a 6-under 66 at Egypt Valley Country Club to finish the two rounds of qualifying at 10 under.

I

s it just me, or has this summer flown by faster than most? Maybe it’s my desire to leave the oppressive heat behind me, but it feels like Memorial Day was only about a week ago. In the clearest sign yet that summer is about to exit stage left, the Carolina Panthers report for training camp one week from today at Wofford College. Can you believe it? The NFL is just around the corner. The Panthers enter this season with tons of questions swirling. Will Matt Moore or rookie Jimmy Clausen emerge as the starting quarterback? How will the team replace talented but inconsistent defensive end Julius Peppers?

Chicago Cubs manager Lou Piniella announced Tuesday that he will retire at the end of the season, ending a storied and often colorful career that included 18 years in the majors as a player and another 22 as a manager. The 66-yearold Piniella, who made five trips to the World Series in his career and has three championship rings, said he was looking forward to spending more time with his family. He didn’t rule out consulting for the Cubs or another team, but made it clear he was getting out of the daily grind. “It’s been a wonderful experience,” he said. “There’s no way that I won’t cherish the memories here.” But, he added: “I’ve been away from home since 1962. That’s about 50 years.” General manager Jim Hendry said former Cubs Hall of Famer Ryne Sandberg, now a minor league manager in Des Moines, will be a candidate for the job. He said Piniella’s replacement won’t be hired before the end of the season. Sandberg, who spent several seasons as a spring training instructor with the Cubs after retiring in 1997, said he is interested in the job. Entering Tuesday, Piniella’s overall record was 1,826-1,691 (.519).

Will the dynamic running back duo of DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart repeat last season’s success without the blocking and leadership of departed fullback Brad Hoover? Will this be the last season at the helm for head coach John Fox? I don’t have the answers for any of those questions, but we’ll start finding out soon enough. Here are a few key dates to circle on your calendar: •Carolina’s first practice will be July 29 at Wofford. •The Panthers open preseason play Thursday, Aug. 12, at Baltimore. Kickoff is set for 8 p.m. •The rest of the preseason schedule finds

the Jets coming to Charlotte for an 8 p.m. kickoff on Aug. 21, while the Panthers play host to the Titans on Aug. 28 at 8 p.m. and cap things with a trip to Pittsburgh to play the Steelers on Thursday, Sept. 2, at 7:30 p.m. •Carolina’s regular-season opener comes Sunday, Sept. 12, at the New York Giants. Tentative kickoff time is 1 p.m. •The Panthers’ home opener is set for Sunday, Sept. 19 at 1 p.m. against Tampa Bay. •Carolina’s bye comes in Week 6 (the weekend of Oct. 17). •The Panthers close the regular season Jan. 2 at Atlanta. So let’s get ready for some football!

Record-low TV ratings for British Open final round NEW YORK (AP) — Little drama and a little-known champion sent the British Open’s television ratings plummeting to a record low. South Africa’s Louis Oosthuizen led over the last 48 holes and won by seven shots, his victory almost never in doubt during the final round. ESPN said Sunday’s coverage drew a 2.1 rating, down 45 percent from last year’s 3.8. The previous low was a 3.1 in 1996, according to Nielsen, when Tom Lehman went into the final round with a six-shot lead. Average ratings for the first three rounds were up from 2009, increasing from 1.3 to 1.4. This was the first year the tournament was broadcast entirely on cable. The coverage

Garrett out, Haden in as USC athletic director LOS ANGELES (AP) — Embattled Southern California athletic director Mike Garrett will be replaced by Pat Haden next month, and the school will return its copy of Reggie Bush’s Heisman Trophy in its ongoing effort to repair its reputation after last month’s severe NCAA sanctions. In a letter to school supporters Tuesday, incoming USC president Max Nikias said Garrett will be replaced Aug. 3 by Haden, a respected member of USC’s board of trustees and an NBC football analyst. The 66-year-old Garrett has been the Trojans’ athletic director for 17 years, but he received caustic criticism for his handling of the scandals surrounding USC’s powerful football team and other programs over the past several years. The NCAA hit USC with major sanctions last month, including a twoyear bowl ban and scholarship restrictions. Nikias, who takes his own new job Aug. 3, also said USC will return Bush’s trophy to the Heisman Trophy Trust next month, possibly indicating the trophy will be revoked in the future. The school will take down any jerseys or murals recognizing the former star tailback or basketball player O.J. Mayo, the other major figure in the four-year NCAA investigation. Both Garrett and Haden are former USC football players. Garrett won the Heisman Trophy in 1965, while Haden was the Trojans’ starting quarterback for three years under coach John McKay. Haden is firmly ensconced in Trojan lore. In 1974, he led a 55-24 victory over Notre Dame still known at the school as “The Comeback,” while his late heroics in the 1975 Rose Bowl, including a last-minute touchdown pass and two-point conversion throw, gave USC an 18-17 win over Ohio State.

RALEIGH (AP) — The Carolina Hurricanes have agreed to a one-year contract with defenseman Brett Carson. The two-way deal will pay him $500,000 at the NHL level and $105,000 on the American Hockey League level next season. Carolina president and general manager Jim Rutherford says Carson proved he can be a consistent contributor for the Hurricanes last season. The 24-year-old Carson played 54 games with Carolina. He had two goals and 10 assists.

Diaz lifts Braves THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ATLANTA – Matt Diaz homered in his third straight game, Jair Jurrjens gave up only one run in seven innings, and the Atlanta Braves beat the Padres 4-1 on Tuesday night in a matchup of first-place teams. Diaz drove in three runs with a two-run homer in the fourth and a run-scoring single in the seventh. Jason Heyward had three hits, including two doubles, and drove in a run as the Braves expanded a 2-1 lead in the seventh. Chris Denorfia hit a second-inning homer for the Padres, but Jurrjens (3-3) gave up only two hits over his last five innings. Billy Wagner pitched a perfect ninth for his 22nd save. The Braves, who began the day 51⁄2 games ahead of second-place New York in the NL East,improved to 55-38 and passed the NL West-leading Padres (54-38) for the best record in the National League. Diaz has three homers and eight RBIs in his last three games. He was slowed the first two months of the season by an infection in his right thumb. He finally had surgery on May 20 and came off the disabled list on June 29. Wade LeBlanc (4-8) gave up two runs, five hits and four walks in six innings. The Braves added two runs off Ryan Webb in the seventh. Braves bench coach Chino Cadahia filled in as manager Bobby Cox served a one-game suspension imposed Monday. Cox drew the suspension after left-hander Jonny Venters hit Milwaukee’s Prince Fielder with a pitch on Saturday. Venters, appealing his four-game suspension, took over for Jurrjens and retired the Padres in order in the eighth.

ROCKIES 10, MARLINS 0 MIAMI – Melvin Mora drove in five runs and Jeff Francis pitched seven crisp innings to lead Colorado to the victory. Batting in the No. 3 spot for only the second time this season, Mora hit a bases-clearing double to highlight a six-run third inning. He also hit a tworun homer off Nate Robertson (6-8) in the fifth and finished with three hits, matching a season high. Francis (3-3) allowed three hits, struck out seven and walked none while lowering his ERA from 5.14 to 4.63. It was the Marlins’ most lopsided loss of the season.

HiToms’ hurlers help Nationals win CPL All-Star contest ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

FOREST CITY – Two HiToms got wins and two got defeats Tuesday night in the Coastal Plain League All-Star Game. With no good way to split the three-division, 15-team league into distinct halves, players from every team land on both the National and American squads. The Nationals grabbed a 5-4 win Tuesday. Pitchers Ben Grisz and J.J. Jankowski made the National team, and each pitched a scoreless inning while allowing one base runner and recording two strikeouts. Out-

fielder Cass Hargis was on the American squad, coached by Tom Dorzweiler. Hargis finished 0-for-2. Gastonia’s David Chester was named the Rawlings Offensive Player of the Game after going 2-for-3 with a home run, a single and three RBIs. Edenton’s Mark Montgomery earned Rawlings Defensive Player of the Game honors after earning the save by throwing a scoreless inning of relief. Monday in Forest City, Chester hit 11 home runs and was named the Rawlings All-Star Home Run Derby Champion. Chester fought off Edenton’s Brian Billi-

gen for the title. He finished with six long balls – all with wood – for 18 points. Ten of Chester’s 11 homers were hit with wood – each worth three points – while one was added for good measure in the first round with an aluminum bat for one point. Hargis hit three homers with an aluminum bat in the first round for three points and one homer in the second round with wood for six points in all, but did not advance. The HiToms visit Asheboro tonight and Gastonia on Thursday before playing host to Forest City on Friday.

RANGERS 8, TIGERS 0 DETROIT – Tommy Hunter pitched seven scoreless innings, Josh Hamilton and Ian Kinsler homered, and the surging Texas Rangers beat slumping Detroit. The AL West-leading Rangers are 5-1 since the All-Star break. Hunter became the first Ranger to start a season 7-0, pitching only as a starter. Detroit has lost a season-high seven straight games.

All-Star Armwood set to blaze different trail C

hris Armwood’s speed made him a dangerous return man and defensive back at Ragsdale High School. And while Armwood is hoping to play for Charlotte’s new football program in a few years, he’s more interested in blazing a trail of an entirely different sort. “I like drag racing,” Armwood said. “Going 300 (mph) and some change down the track for a quarter-mile ...” It’s a thrill unlike any other, to be sure. And tonight, Armwood will get a final thrill on the football field – at least for a while – when the 62nd annual East-West All-Star Game takes place at Greensboro’s Jamieson Stadium. Kickoff is slated for 8 to accommodate SPORTS the halftime fireworks show. High Point Central’s Jimmy Moorman and Steve Trinity’s T.J. Bulla also will play for Hanf the West. ■■■ Armwood represents a minority of East-West players. In a few short weeks, virtually all of tonight’s all-stars will trek to college campuses and begin preparations for the upcoming football season. Not Armwood. In Charlotte, he found a school that boasts a strong engineering program with ties to the region’s motorsports industry. It just so happened that the 49ers are adding a football program to begin practicing next year and playing in 2012. “It’s kind of a bittersweet moment: My last high school game and then I’ve got a break before I start back at UNC Charlotte,” Armwood said. “It hits me in the heart a little more. They know they’re going somewhere at the next level playing football. I don’t know yet. I’m still working for that.” Armwood plans to work out as much Armwood as possible and submit his game and training tapes to the 49ers’ coach when that position is filled this fall. Then it’s a waiting game. He’s fine with that. Armwood had offers to play at a number of Division II schools, but put academics first. “I really like engineering and racing, so I couldn’t sacrifice having a chance to play somewhere else and then be left out to dry with what I want to do the rest of my life,” Armwood reasoned. Those aspirations include not just working on dragsters at the NHRA level, but even driving them. His ties to the sport are deep. “From way back, all my dad’s family, they’ve driven anything and everything, and pretty much anything on wheels I can drive,” Armwood said. “Me and my dad go to the track all the time, and my family – if it has an engine, it’s for them.”

SING US A SONG... When Bulla was asked some of his favorite memories from playing with the Bulldogs, he paused a few moments to think. “The locker room,” he said simply. After enjoying the camaraderie with those teammates so much, it was easy for Bulla to pick out his favorite moments from this week’s East-West festivities – no matter how surprising.

Turns out West quarterback Ben Walgenbach of Hendersonville plays the piano, so the players have been gathering in the lobby of their team hotel for impromptu singalongs. “We all try to sing and help out,” Bulla said with a smile. He added that the favorite number so far has been a version of “The Doug Song” from the film, “The

Hangover.” After tonight’s game, Bulla will be looking for more happy memories on and off the field when he heads to Guilford College. Bulla plans to major in sports medicine and ended up choosing the Division III Quakers over a few others schools, including Ferrum College in Virginia. “It’ll be an exciting four years,” Bulla said.

CHANGE OF PLANS Moorman still has something to prove in tonight’s game despite the fact he’s cemented – for the first two years – his college plans. High Point Central’s fearsome linebacker earned back-to-back defensive player of the year honors, but scared college coaches because he stands just 5-foot-10

to go with his powerful 220-pound frame. In the spring, Moorman signed with Louisburg College, but recently changed his commitment to College of the Canyons. The junior college, located about 35 minutes north of Los Angeles in Santa Clarita, is an annual contender among California’s community college football programs and in 2004 won a national championship. Last year, Moorman said nine Cougars earned scholarships to four-year schools, including two who went to Tennessee and Syracuse. “They called Coach (Wayne) Jones – I don’t know how they heard about me all the way out there,” said Moorman, who will report to the campus for the first time in two weeks. “They let me know they wanted me to come out and I just signed.” His adventure there will be one more chance to prove the doubters wrong. After tonight’s opportunities, of course. “I’ve got a lot to prove – still got that chip on my shoulder,” Moorman said with a disarming smile not seen on the football field. “I feel like I still have something to prove (tonight). Play hard, make a couple plays and show everybody that Jimmy Moorman can really play.” shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

Armstrong shows grit in bid for win in Pyrenees PAU, France (AP) – In his final days of his final Tour de France, Lance Armstrong showed some of the old fire. The seven-time champion, knowing full well he no longer stands above all others in his sport, fought from beginning to end in the hopes of going out with a stage victory high in the Pyrenees. It was not to be. Armstrong finished sixth after breaking away early in the 16th stage and holding his own through four major climbs of the Tour’s most demanding leg. But he lost in a final sprint, with Frenchman Pierrick Fedrigo winning the 124-mile ride. Alberto Contador was almost seven minutes behind, his Astana team asserting control over the field. The defending champion from Spain kept the overall lead, eight seconds ahead of Andy Schleck of Luxembourg. The two rode a day after Contador apologized for the way in which he took the yellow jersey. On Tuesday, Armstrong broke away on his own at one point before he was caught by a small group of riders. All of which was a bit of a change for the 38year-old Texan. “It was harder than I expected. It’s been awhile since I sprinted,” Armstrong said. “Just not quick enough. I’m not the best guy in the race but I still have the spirit of a fighter. ... I wasn’t fast enough in the end. Fedrigo

TOUR DE FRANCE AT A GLANCE

---

PAU, France (AP) – A brief look at Tuesday’s 16th stage of the Tour de France: Stage: The 16th stage took the riders on a 124-mile ride from Bagneres-de-Luchon to Pau that featured four major climbs, including the Col du Tourmalet. Winner: Pierrick Fedrigo of France made it three French victories in a row after winning a sprint among seven riders in a breakaway, including Lance Armstrong. Second was Sandy Casar of France, with Ruben Plaza of Spain third. Yellow Jersey: No change in the overall classification. Defending champion Alberto Contador of Spain leads Andy Schleck of Luxembourg by 8 seconds. Quote of the Day: “I’m not the best guy in the race, but I still have the spirit of a fighter.” – Armstrong Next stage: Today is a rest day. Thursday is the final day in the Pyrenees, and it ends at the top of one of the most famous mountains in cycling. The 108.1-mile 17th stage from Pau to the Col du Tourmalet (ridden in the opposite direction to Tuesday) has the potential to decide the Tour de France.

is very fast and he deserves the win.” The Tour ends in Paris on Sunday, and Armstrong acknowledged his career was nearing the finish. “Lance Armstrong is over in about four days,” he said. Armstrong’s coach, Johan Bruyneel, said the course was not ideal for Armstrong to prevail. “You really have to be very, very strong to ride away,” he said. “And there’s always going to be one or two guys with him, who are equally strong in the sprint,” he said. Contador lauded Armstrong’s effort. “I believe he really wanted to go for that stage today,” he said. “For myself,

I would have been really happy if he had won that stage because he really deserved it,” he said. Second place went to France’s Sandy Casar, with Spain’s Ruben Plaza third. The stage featured two climbs that are so difficult they aren’t even classified by cycling’s governing body. The leading group finished the race in 5 hours, 31 minutes, 43 seconds. The stragglers were almost 35 minutes behind. It was the third successive French victory in this year’s race and the sixth in all. “It was my day. Everything smiled on me,” said Fedrigo, who also won a stage in 2009 and 2006 and has regularly been

part of breakaways in this year’s race. “This shows that it isn’t only the great leaders who can win on the Tour de France, it’s also the general riders.” Schleck was unable to get away from Contador and make up the time he desperately needs to regain the yellow jersey and build a buffer for Saturday’s time trial, where Contador is expected to excel. Schleck had been furious with Contador after Monday’s stage. He felt the Spaniard should have waited while Schleck dealt with a mechanical problem during the day’s main climb. Contador surged ahead but later apologized in a YouTube video. On Tuesday, the two shook hands on French television. “We are fine now,” Schleck said. “The Tour de France isn’t going to be won by eight seconds, and there’s going to be a big race between him and me the day after tomorrow.” Today is a rest day. On Thursday, the field turns around and rides the Pyrenees in the other direction, ending on the top of the Col du Tourmalet. “It’s a very, very hard stage and I think we can have very big gaps – probably more than in the time trial,” Contador said. Tuesday was a good day for Norway’s Thor Hushovd, who finished in 10th place and picked up enough points to retake the green jersey worn by the top sprinter.

LeMond looks forward to doping investigation DENVER (AP) – Three-time Tour de France winner Greg LeMond says he believes evidence against Lance Armstrong in a federal probe will be “overwhelming.” In an interview with The Denver Post, LeMond said he was happy when he received

the subpoena to make a July 30 appearance in federal court in Los Angeles to testify in an investigation of possible fraud and doping charges against Armstrong and his associates. “The evidence will come from the investigation,” LeMond told the newspaper, “and I believe it

will be overwhelming.” LeMond also said he believes Floyd Landis was telling the truth in his descriptions of what he claimed was Armstrong’s systemic doping program. Armstrong has denied allegations of doping. On Monday, his attorney sent a letter to the

federal prosecutor looking into the case complaining about leaks to the media. “This appears to be a fullblown and largely unmonitored exploration of Floyd Landis’ patently unreliable and routinely changing accusations of possible improper conduct in the

professional cycling industry at large,” wrote Armstrong’s attorney, Tim Herman. A copy of the letter was obtained by The Associated Press. LeMond, meanwhile, could not discuss what he knows or what he’ll testify about at the end of the month.

PANTHERS SIGN LAFELL

---

CHARLOTTE (AP) – The Carolina Panthers have signed third-round draft pick Brandon LaFell, leaving just one selection from this year’s draft without a contract. The Panthers announced the deal on Tuesday and expect LaFell to compete for playing time immediately as fourth-year pro Dwayne Jarrett has been slow to emerge as a consistent factor in the offense. The wide receiver from LSU started 35 games with the Tigers, catching 175 passes for 2,517 yards and 25 touchdowns. The only player from Carolina’s 10 draft picks remaining unsigned is Notre Dame quarterback Jimmy Clausen.

Yankees put Pettitte on DL NEW YORK (AP) – Andy Pettitte has been placed on the 15-day disabled list because of a strained left groin and the New York Yankees left-hander is expected to miss at least a month. The 38-year-old AllStar was injured Sunday while throwing a pitch in the third inning against the Tampa Bay Rays. An MRI showed the strain. The move is retroactive to Monday. Pettitte says he will not do anything for a week.

Clemson’s Swinney will know Parker’s plans soon SUNSET, S.C. (AP) – The wait for Clemson to learn Kyle Parker’s “Decision” is almost over. Coach Dabo Swinney says the family of two-sport standout Kyle Parker has pledged to let him know by midnight Tuesday if he’ll return as quarterback or give up the sport to play for the Colorado Rockies. “I did get a message that said they signed him and they traded him to the Reds,” Swinney joked Tuesday evening after his golf outing. “No, nothing yet.” Parker’s choice has been the biggest guessing game on campus since last football season ended with the freshman quarterback passing for 20 touchdowns and 2,556 yards as Clemson reached the Atlantic Coast Conference title game. Parker also found success in baseball, hitting 20 home runs as the Tigers advanced to the College World Series. The Rockies selected Parker No. 26 overall, higher than most experts projected. Parker took a break after Clemson’s elimination in Omaha. But knowing his football teammates needed closure, he set a July 20th deadline to decide. “I’ll probably be out watering my front lawn at midnight when he calls,” Swinney said. If Parker returns, it’s an instant boost to an offense that is already without three of last season’s recordsetters in tailback C.J. Spiller, receiver Jacoby Ford and tight end Michael Palmer. Parker “gives us the chance to be really explosive early,” Swinney said. Should Parker jump into pro baseball, Swinney would be left choosing between two backups who have never completed a college pass in senior Michael Wade and freshman Tajh Boyd.

Boyd is a highly regarded prospect who turned down Ohio State and Oregon to join the Tigers. Swinney and offensive coordinator Billy Napier would rather Boyd get another year learning the attack with Parker in control. However, they may not get that luxury. “Boy, I’d love to have those 14 games of experience” from 2009 back, Napier said. Wade played quarterback in high school, but has been twice shifted to defense the last four to find a spot for him to play. He was a regular on special teams last fall, something he’d likely become again if Parker came back, Napier said. Swinney, Napier and the staff were anxious to have the drama over, one way or another. “I’d be lying if I said we weren’t waiting to know,” Tiger offensive line coach Brad Scott said. Parker was an untested football commodity last summer, fighting off local favorite Willy Korn to earn the starting job. Korn, a popular state championship-winning quarterback at nearby Byrnes High before signing with Clemson, transferred to Marshall this offseason. Swinney has said that Parker’s potential could be just as solid in the NFL. Parker and the Rockies might not be willing to take the chance he’d make it through another football season uninjured. Either way, Parker’s decision will give Swinney and the Tigers peace of mind about what’s ahead. Swinney said the players have been patient about Parker’s absence from summertime skills and drills and would welcome him back. “If not, hey, it doesn’t affect anything that’s gone on this summer,” Swinney said. “People can move on and we can have some closure on it.”

PINEHURST (AP) – Danielle Kang of Thousand Oaks, Calif., shot a 74 and earned medalist honors for the U.S. Girls Junior Championship on Tuesday at The Country Club of North Carolina. Kang finished two rounds of stroke play 3under 141. She’ll be the top seed when match play for the top 64 qualifiers begins today. Ginger Howard of Bradenton, Fla., shot even par in the second round to stay at 2 under and hold second place. Megan Khang, a 12year-old from Rockland,

Mass., was the only other golfer under par in stroke play as finished at 1 under. High Point’s Cecily Overbey, a rising freshman at Wesleyan Christian Academy, posted rounds of 86 and 84 to finish in a tie for 135th at 26-over 170. The cut came at 157. Overbey was one of the youngest players in the field. Gyeol Park of Korea shot Tuesday’s best round at 3 under and moved to fourth place overall at even par. She was 3 under on the back side, closing with an eagle on the par-5 18th.

Brad Miller signs with Rockets HOUSTON (AP) – Brad Miller signed with the Houston Rockets on Tuesday, reuniting the 7-foot center with his favorite coach in Rick Adelman. Miller signed a threeyear, $15 million contract to back up Yao Ming, who is expected to be ready for next season after sitting out a year to recover from foot surgery.

“We’ve been looking for somebody to give us strong minutes at the center spot and pair with Yao Ming for some time,” Rockets general manager Daryl Morey said. The 34-year-old Miller appeared in 82 games last season for the Bulls and averaged 8.8 points and 4.9 rebounds. He has career averages of 11.7 points and 7.5 rebounds in 12 NBA seasons.

Unemployment fell in 39 states in June WASHINGTON (AP) – The unemployment rate fell in most states in June, mainly because more people gave up searching for work and were no longer counted. Fewer states saw job increases, the latest evidence that the economic recovery is slowing. The jobless rate declined in 39 states and Washington, D.C. last month, the Labor Department said Tuesday. That’s a slight im-

provement from May, when 37 states saw their rates decline. But only 21 states saw net job gains in June, the government said. That compared to 41 the previous month and is the fewest this year. The decline in job creation reflects the layoff of thousands of temporary census workers. Those jobs inflated total payrolls in May and then reduced them in June.

Still, the report also indicated that businesses aren’t hiring many new workers. Nationwide, private employers added a net gain of only 83,000 jobs last month. The national unemployment rate dropped to 9.5 percent in June from 9.7 percent the previous month, as about 650,000 people stopped looking for work. New York’s unemployment rate fell to 8.2 percent from 8.3 percent the previous month. But

the state lost 8,500 private-sector jobs, the second-straight decline in private employment. California’s unemployment rate also declined, but the state gained just 1,300 private-sector jobs. Wisconsin, meanwhile, saw its jobless rate fall to 7.9 percent from 8.2 percent the previous month. But the state’s work force fell by 13,600, suggesting the decline was the result of people giving up job hunts. Fur-

thermore, the state lost 1,000 private-sector jobs last month. Nevada, battered by a housing slump and a drop in tourism, posted the nation’s highest unemployment rate of 14.2 percent. That’s the state’s highest since records began in 1976. In May, Nevada displaced Michigan from the top spot for the first time in more than four years. Michigan’s unemployment rate fell to 13.2 percent in June.

Feds OKs antitrust deal for airlines NEW YORK – The Transportation Department has given antitrust immunity to American Airlines and foreign partners, which will let the airlines work together to set fares and schedules across the Atlantic. The other airlines are British Airways, Iberia Airlines, Finnair and Royal Jordanian Airlines. DOT said Tuesday the move will give travelers and cargo shippers benefits including lower fares in some markets, improved service and better schedules.

Treasury prices mainly stagnant NEW YORK – Treasury prices mostly rose Tuesday as another weak report on the housing sector cast more doubt on the economic recovery.

The Commerce Department had reported earlier that home construction plunged last month to the lowest level since October. That led to an early decline in stock prices and more interest in safehaven investments.

Grand jury subpoenas Toyota documents NEW YORK (AP) – A federal grand jury in New York has subpoenaed Toyota’s U.S. subsidiaries for documents related to problems with rods that connect a vehicle’s steering to its front wheels, the automaker said Tuesday. The subpoena is the latest legal problem to confront the automaker. It also faces hundreds of lawsuits from consumers over the company’s unintended acceleration recalls, the drop in its stock price and lower resale value of its cars and trucks. Steve Curtis, a spokesman for Toyota’s U.S. subsidiary in Torrance, Calif., declined to offer more

details on the subpoena, referring to a statement saying the company intends to cooperate with the investigation. The company continues to cooperate with previous requests for documents as well, he said. The subpoena, received in late June, is the company’s second from a federal grand jury, the panel that determines whether enough evidence exists to bring criminal charges. The first subpoena, which came in February, was for documents related to unintended acceleration in Toyota automobiles and the braking system of its Prius hybrid. It remains unclear whether the

most recent subpoena is tied to a specific recall and what vehicles are affected. But defective steering relay rods led Toyota to recall 4Runner sports utility vehicles and T100 pickup trucks in the U.S. in 2005. Toyota waited nearly a year to issue a recall of those vehicles in the U.S., despite issuing a similar recall in Japan and receiving dozens of reports from U.S. motorists that the rods snapped without warning, an Associated Press investigation earlier this year found. When a steering rod snaps, the driver cannot control the vehicle because the front wheels are unable to turn.

Goldman Sachs profit falls by $453 million NEW YORK (AP) – Goldman Sachs had an 83 percent drop in second-quarter net income but still got a vote of confidence from investors. Goldman Sachs Group Inc. said Tuesday its earnings fell to $453 million as trading revenue dropped during a dismal spring for the financial markets. The bank also booked a $550 million charge for its settlement of civil fraud charges with the Securities and Exchange Commission

and took a $600 million charge because of a new tax on employee bonuses in Britain. Investors initially sold Goldman’s stock after its earnings were released, but they had a change of heart as the trading day wore on. Analysts said investors focused on the fact that Goldman is still the top player on Wall Street and will remain so in the future when the markets recover from their current slump. “These guys are the

best of breed,” said John Jay, a senior analyst at Aite Group. “Their relationships are still in place. In the end, this is just a temporary swoon.” Goldman’s stock rose $2.72, or 1.9 percent, to $148.80 in afternoon trading. The stock is still down more than 20 percent from its close on April 15, the day before the SEC charges were filed. Last week, the government Goldman announced a $550 million settlement

of those charges, which grew out of the 2007 sale of complex mortgage-related securities. The fact that Goldman took a charge for the settlement in the second quarter showed that the bank expects to put the case behind it. Chief financial officer David Viniar said during a conference call with reporters that the bank did not see any drop in market share because of the charges, which grew out of the company’s sale of

complex mortgage-related securities in 2007. The other big charge grew out of a one-time British tax of 50 percent on bonuses for banking employees in excess of $38,000. Excluding the one-time costs, net income after payment of dividends on preferred stock came to $2.75 per share, easily topping the $2.08 analysts forecast. Analysts typically exclude onetime charges from their estimates.

A mason lays brick on a foundation for a new home in Richmond, Va. Home construction plunged last month to the lowest level since October as the economy remained weak and demand for housing plummeted.

Home construction sinks to lowest level since October WASHINGTON (AP) – Home construction plunged last month to the lowest level since October as the economy remained weak and demand for housing plummeted. But driving the June decline was a more than 20 percent drop in condominium and apartment construction, which makes up a small but volatile portion of the housing market. Construction of single-family homes, the largest part of the market, was down slightly. It dropped 0.7 percent. Overall, construction of new homes and apartments in June fell 5 percent from a month earlier to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 549,000, the Commerce Department said Tuesday. May’s figure was revised downward to 578,000. Homebuilders are

struggling to compete with a glut of homes on the market, many of them foreclosures or deeply discounted properties. The number of foreclosures could rise even faster, according to a new report on the Obama administration’s flagship effort to help those at risk of losing their homes. More than 40 percent of those of those who have enrolled have dropped out of the program, the Treasury Department said Tuesday. One bright area of the new home construction report was an increase in building permit applications, which are a sign of future activity. They rose 2.1 percent from a month earlier to an annual rate of 586,000, however this was also driven by apartment construction.

A slumping job market and competition from foreclosed properties have forced builders to limit construction, especially after tax credits that spurred sales expired at the end of April. “The housing market remains the Achilles heel of the recovery,” said M. Cary Leahey, a senior economist at Decision Economics. “It is hard to imagine confidence recovering to healthy levels until the housing market experiences much less distress.” The lackluster housing report contributed to an early sell-off on Wall Street. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 120 points in morning trading. In a typical economic recovery, the construction sector provides much of the fuel.

National broadband network to launch next year NEW YORK (AP) – U.S. consumers and businesses may get more options in wireless service starting next year, with the launch of a new wireless broadband network that aims to provide competition to the incumbent phone companies. Private-equity firm Harbinger Capital Partners on Tuesday revealed details of the launch of its wireless network, LightSquared, which should cover 92 percent of the population by 2015. But there are financial and regulatory hurdles to overcome. And in another wrinkle, LightSquared won’t initially be offering conventional cell phone service, just data. It’s possible to send phone calls over data connections, but that technology is not fully mature or standardized. Still, LightSquared represents a rare new entrant in the wireless market. Only two other companies, Verizon Wireless and AT&T Inc., have firm plans to build nationwide networks using the same,

fourth-generation network technology that LightSquared will use. Sprint Nextel Corp., through its Clearwire Corp. subsidiary, is building a third one with a different 4G technology that’s likely to get less support from equipment makers. Consumers won’t buy service directly from LightSquared. Instead, it will sell access wholesale to other companies that can resell it to consumers. LightSquared hopes to attract cable TV providers, phone companies that don’t have wireless networks of their own and retailers that want to provide wireless service under their own brand. Dan Hays, who focuses on telecommunications with consulting firm PRTM, said LightSquared “could provide a renewed opportunity for retailers and major brands such as Wal-Mart, Best Buy, and Office Depot to enter the wireless market as service providers to consumers.”

J&J posts profit despite recalls THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Repeated recalls of popular Johnson & Johnson nonprescription medicines kept second-quarter revenue flat and forced J&J to cut its profit forecast, but a big drop in its tax rate enabled the healthcare giant to pull off a 7.5 percent increase in net income. In a rare move, the maker of Band-Aids, birth control and biotech drugs on Tuesday reduced its 2010 profit forecast by 15 cents a share, sending its stock down $1.30 a share, or 2.2 percent, to $58.27 in afternoon trading — an unusually big drop for the huge global conglomerate.

A box of Johnson & Johnson BAND-AID bandages is displayed in Boston. Healthcare giant Johnson & Johnson posted a 7.5 percent increase in second-quarter income Tuesday. Johnson & Johnson cited the recalls of tens of millions of bottles of Tylenol and other well-known brands, the long-term

closure of the suburban Philadelphia factory that made some of them and unfavorable currency exchange rates.

Stocks inch higher in choppy trade NEW YORK (AP) – Investors are trying to get a read on the economy using earnings reports. They’re finding it’s not so easy. The result Tuesday was yet another erratic day of stock trading. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 75 points after having fallen 140 in early trading in response to a series of disappointing revenue reports. Analysts were hard-pressed to come up with a reason for the turnaround. But trading was extremely light, and that tends to skew stock prices. Analysts said some investors were getting a little more upbeat as they awaited earnings reports from Yahoo Inc. and Apple Inc. after the close. But those reports came in mixed, just like those from the many companies that have also reported second-quarter results. Apple’s stock surged in after-hours trading, but Yahoo fell. Like IBM Corp., Johnson & Johnson and Goldman Sachs Inc., its revenue fell short of expectations. Investors have been quick to sell on even a whiff of bad news. Early Tuesday, they were motivated by the reports from IBM, J&J and Goldman. Investors have been focusing on revenue rather than bottom-line earnings because of the link between companies’ sales and the economy. If revenue is down because consumers aren’t spending, that’s a sign that the economy could remain weak.

A draft of the latest cookbook by author and leading expert on Mexican cuisine, Diana Kennedy, sits on a table inside her kitchen at her home in Zitacuaro, Mexico. Sparkling brown eyes, sharp tongued and hilarious, at 87, Kennedy has a new cookbook coming out, “Oaxaca al Gusto,” featuring more than 300 recipes gathered over decades.

Queen of Mexican cuisine pens new cookbook BY MARTHA MENDOZA ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

ITACUARO, Mexico – The queen of Mexican cuisine is scolding me with a wooden spoon. “You don’t just fling the ingredients around!” says Diana Kennedy. “That. Is. Not. Cooking!” She demonstrates the correct technique, delicately wrapping a warm pumpkin crepe around

‘Cooking teaches you that you’re not always in control. Cooking is life’s biggest comeuppance. Ingredients can fool you.’ Diana Kennedy Queen of Mexican cuisine a fresh stew of huitlacoche corn fungus sauteed with onions and corn. She serves the lunch on china, carries it out to her sunny patio, sits down with a happy sigh and takes a bite. “Brilliant, if I do say so myself,” she says. And she’s right. The food is brilliant. And that’s because Diana Kennedy is brilliant. Sparkling brown eyes, sharp tongued and hilarious, at 87, Kennedy still hauls kilos of dried corn hundreds of miles across

Mexico in her rattling truck to grind and roll into savory tortillas and tamales. She recycles rainwater off her roof, uses solar pipes to heat her water, hosts cooking classes in her own kitchen and has a garden of rare edible plants that are a living museum of Mexico’s culinary heritage. And this fall Kennedy has a new cookbook coming out, “Oaxaca al Gusto,” featuring more than 300 recipes Kennedy gathered over decades, rumbling up dirt roads to visit home kitchens in some of Mexico’s most remote communities, studying distinctive cuisines that are both unique and familiar: after all, Oaxaca’s key ingredients are chocolate, corn and chilies. The cookbook, featuring gorgeous photos and cultural descriptions, is the latest in a lifetime of groundbreaking culinary contributions from Kennedy, who has received the equivalent of knighthood in Mexico with the Congressional Order Of The Aztec Eagle award for documenting and preserving regional Mexican cuisine. The United Kingdom also has honored her, awarding her a Member of the British Empire award for furthering cultural relations with Mexico. Yet almost four decades after her now legendary and essential “The Cuisines of Mexico” was published, Kennedy is every bit as intrigued and excited about Mexico’s ingredients, recipes and cooking techniques. It’s a gastronomy that humbles her. “Cooking teaches you that

Ingredients can fool you.” Kennedy’s life is a manic mixture of simple living and a high profile as the world’s authority on Mexican cuisine. This means book tours, cooking lessons and endless research in remote villages where she continues to gather

recipes and ingredients. This fall she’ll travel through the United States, sharing her wisdom at bookstores. It’s hectic and exhausting, both promoting her books and studying countryside communities for new ideas, and she can be on the road for weeks at a time. At home, life is uncomplicated. “I take two hours a day in the sun. I warm my bones,” she said.

Way down South, where football and food are close to religions, tailgate parties could turn into crawfish boils a few autumns from now if a Louisiana State University project works out. “I certainly hope so. It would be a nice option to have,” said Greg Lutz, an aquaculture specialist at the university’s agriculture center. Lutz has placed about 2,000 juvenile shrimp crawfish into 60 outdoor tanks and is studying how they are growing and whether they could be raised profitably, like their distant kin, red swamp crawfish and white river crawfish. Those species are a staple of spring get-togethers in Louisiana and other areas of the South, but they’re gone before the first kickoff. Shrimp crawfish, however, lay their eggs about the time the current commercial varieties are harvested and would be fullsized in October and November. “I would like them so we could get part of the football season,” said David Snell, who runs a Dallas-area catering business called Cajun Crawfish Company. “All the tailgating that goes on, if we were able to get crawfish earlier, with a good size and at a reasonable price, I’d be interested.” David McGraw, who buys from Atchafalaya Basin fishermen when his 700 acres of crawfish ponds near Natchitoches, La., aren’t producing, agreed there would be plenty of interest in a fall crop. “We can sell them as long as we have live production,” said McGraw, whose Louisiana Crawfish Inc. ships live crawfish by air to customers from Alaska to the Caribbean.

Look at today’s West cards and the auction and pick an opening lead against South’s game. North’s double was “negative.” Some people have an almost religious persuasion about leading from sequential holdings. Maybe they think the card gods are telling them what to lead, like a teacher giving a pupil a lesson deal with an obvious opening lead. West, with TWO sequences, chose the king of clubs. South won, took the A-K of hearts to pitch a club from dummy, and led a spade. West won, cashed a club and shifted to a trump, but South won and crossruffed. He took two hearts, a club and eight trump tricks.

FAST TRICK A trump lead against an 11-trick contract is rare – it’s often better to lead aggressively to try to set up a fast trick – but West had the black suits tied up, and North-South lacked a good heart fit. South would surely need ruffs. West prevails if he leads a trump. He will regain the lead in time to lead a second trump, and South ends a trick short.

HOROSCOPE

CROSSWORD

Wednesday, July 21, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Josh Hartnett, 32; Charlotte Gainsbourg, 39; Jon Lovitz, 53; Robin Williams, 59 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Be prepared to make unusual choices that will mold your future in a way you least expect. The time for change – like it or not – is now. Socializing and discovering what’s available will broaden your outlook and help you realize what you can and want to have in your life. This can be an exciting time, if you embrace it. Your numbers are 4, 12, 24, 26, 30, 33, 46 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Take advantage of anything and everything that is going your way. You can add to your skills, which will pay off when asked to do something you regarded as impossible in the past. Don’t let the uncertainty you face hold you back. ★★★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Ask others for help to expand your horizons and reach your goals. Travel will lead to information and interaction with people with whom you can collaborate to accomplish something extraordinary. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Push and pull situations will lead to disaster. You have to keep an even balance when dealing with others. Fairness will be the key to getting things done and taking care of professional and personal business. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Do things that will help your emotional well-being. Home improvements will pay off mentally, physically and financially. Do much of the work yourself and you will feel proud of your accomplishments. A partnership is in the stars. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Travel, intrigue and an interesting turn of events are heading your way. Take on a new challenge and face whatever comes your way, knowing you have what it takes to come out on top. ★★★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Double-check everything you do and what others do for you. You cannot assume that anything is going to be perfect, unless you give it your undivided attention. There is money to be made and household changes that will improve your surroundings and increase your assets. ★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): A partnership can lead to greater opportunities, as long as you lay down the ground rules before you make a commitment. Don’t give up too much because you are emotionally vulnerable. Mixing personal and professional interest will be difficult. ★★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The more organized you are, the easier it will be to plan for the future. Last-minute social invitations may not be easy for you to attend. However, it’s a must in terms of the people you will meet and the knowledge you will gather. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Don’t let someone else’s responsibilities put a hold on the things you want to do to improve your surroundings or your personal life. Uncertainty regarding love may surface if you cannot find a way to resolve your differences. Maintain upfront and open communication. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You don’t need someone confusing your life or your decisions. Go it alone, especially if it is a financial venture. You have to be ready to act when the time is right if you are going to get ahead. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You can expect to face some deception when dealing with partners. You should be considering ways to utilize your talents more efficiently. Things aren’t likely to pan out if you are working in conjunction with someone, unless you got promises in writing. ★★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Emotional upset will surface and disagreements with partners will lead to a delay in your plans. Don’t get angry, even if you are disappointed. Meddling or using emotional tactics to get others to bend to your wishes will backfire. ★★

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S K Q 10 6 H Q 5 D 4 3 C K Q J 10 4. Your partner opens one heart, and the next player passes. What do you say? ANSWER: This problem is no harder than it looks, but many players would err by responding one spade. True, you want to locate a fit in the major suit, but the hand has enough strength for several bids, hence to bid two clubs is correct. If partner rebids two hearts, try two spades next, showing both suits while keeping the auction low. South dealer N-S vulnerable

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