She’s modest when she talks about it and shows it off: a small JVC digital video camera that doesn’t have a light or its own microphone hook-up.

But the 15-year-old has used that first camera to hone her skills, make her way into filmmaking competitions, even earn a spot on national TV. “I got it for my 13th birthday,” she said, sitting in the living room of her home outside of Salisbury.

“I used it to make all these random things.”

Now Rayl, a rising junior at West Rowan High, is her school’s video editor.

And she’s gotten involved in a variety of contests for amateur filmmakers, and even been around some stars.

Her parents, Rod and Diana Rayl, are proud of what their daughter has done with what started as a hobby.

“It started out with her playing on the computer,” Rod said.

When she was little, Rod said, her grandfather gave her a 35mm still camera to play with.

Judge OKs iPhone class action suit against Apple, AT&T SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — A federal judge says a monopoly abuse lawsuit against Apple Inc. and AT&T Inc.’s mobile phone unit can move forward as a class action.

The lawsuit consolidates several filed by iPhone buyers starting in late 2007, a few months after the first generation of Apple’s smart phone went on sale.

An amended complaint filed in June 2008 takes issue with Apple’s practice of “locking” iPhones so they can only be used on AT&T’s network, and its absolute control over what applications iPhone owners can and cannot install on the gadgets.

The lawsuit also says Apple secretly made AT&T its exclusive iPhone partner in the U.S. for five years. Consumers agreed to

two-year contracts with the Dallas-based wireless carrier when they purchased their phones, but were in effect locked into a fiveyear relationship with AT&T, the lawsuit argued.

The actions hurt competition and drove up prices for consumers, the lawsuit claims.

Apple and AT&T have not commented on the terms of their deal. In its response to the complaint, Cupertino, California-based Apple said it did not hurt competition.

In court documents filed July 8, Judge James Ware of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California said parts of the lawsuit that deal with violations to an-

LEXINGTON — A Lexington man drowned Sunday morning after falling from a pontoon boat into High Rock Lake.

The Davidson County Sheriff’s Office said in a press release that Brandon David Brogdon, 30, died Sunday at Lexington Memorial Hospital.

At 6:11 a.m., the sheriff’s office received a 911 call of a possible drowning at 605 Roy Coppley Road in Lexington, off N.C. 8 on High Rock Lake. Deputies arrived on the scene 15 minutes later.

Witnesses told the officers that Brogdon fell from a pontoon boat he was on into the water beside the pier. He had been fishing all night with friends and was not wearing a life jacket when he fell, according to a Davidson County telecommunicator. Brogdon’s friends found him and tried to revive him.

Members from the Southmont Fire Department and Davidson County EMS also attempted to revive Brogdon. He was transported by EMS to Lexington Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead shortly afterward.

BP happy with new Gulf effort, but no promises NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Underpromising with hopes of overdelivering, BP said Sunday that it is making progress on what could prove its most effective effort yet to contain the Gulf oil leak, but cautioned that the verdict could be several days away.

A new cap being placed atop the gusher is intended to provide a tight seal and might eventually allow the oil giant to capture all the crude leaking from the well for the first time since an April 20 oil rig explosion set off the environmental crisis. But several prior failed attempts to stop the leak have made BP PLC careful to keep expectations grounded.

“We’re pleased with our progress,” said BP senior vice president Kent Wells, who then hastened to add the operation was still expected to last up to six more days.

Asked during a conference call if the new cap and collection efforts would end the spilling of oil into the Gulf, Wells said only that BP will capture all the oil “at some point.”

Wells said BP may have to bring another vessel back online and add additional collection capacity in order to stop the oil flow altogether.

Officials won’t be satisfied the cap is working until they’ve run tests on whether it can withstand the tremendous pressure of oil pushing up from below the seafloor, Wells said.

“We’ve tried to work out as many of the bugs as we can. The challenge will come with something unexpected,” he said.

The well has been gushing largely unchecked since an old, leaky cap was removed from the wellhead Saturday to make way for the new one.

Between 88 million and 174 million gallons have already spilled into the Gulf, according to federal estimates.

Wary Gulf residents reserved judgment about BP’s latest effort and said the damage already done to the environment, fishing and tourism will haunt the region for a long time either way.

“At this point, there have been so many ups and downs, disappointments, that everybody down here is like, ‘We’ll believe it when we see it,’ ” said Keith Kennedy, a charter boat captain in Venice, La. Robotic submarines finished removing a busted piece of pipe that was bolted around the leak around 3 a.m. Sunday. That paved the way for the installation of a pipe-like connector called a flange spool that will sit on top of the spewing well bore. The new cap would be mounted on top of that connector and have flexible pipes leading up to surface ships.

The work was being closely monitored at the White House, where President Barack Obama is being briefed multiple times a day, adviser David Axelrod said on ABC’s “This Week.”

Exercise can relieve symptoms of peripheral neuropathy Q: I have peripheral neuropathy, can exercise help that?

A: The peripheral nervous system is the section of nervous system lying outside the brain and spinal cord.

Peripheral neuropathy is a disorder of those nerves — the motor, sensory and autonomic nerves that connect the spinal ESTER cord to muscles, MARSH skin and internal organs. It usually affects the hands and feet, causing weakness, numbness, tingling and pain.

The causes of peripheral neuropathy (PN) can include diabetes, autoimmune disorders, tumors, heredity, nutritional imbalances, infections or toxins and sometimes the cause is unknown. Make sure you are diagnosed by a doctor because other health problems can lead to tingling, numbness and pain.

Some types of PN are curable. However, most cases are not. Make sure you are working closely with your doctor and listen to their suggestions and recommendations.

People with PN are finding relief in light exercise. As you see, it does not say extreme exercise. Many people with PN benefit from water exercise and swimming. For the best results, try to go to the pool three to five times a week and exercise for at least 30 minutes at a time. If you don’t have access to a pool, try the rowing machine, Nustep or recumbent bike to reduce the pressure

from your feet while exercising. If you have nerve damage in your feet, avoid repetitive, weight-bearing exercises such as jogging, prolonged walking and step aerobics. Repetitive stress to feet affected by neuropathy can lead to ulcers, fractures and joint deformities.

Gentle stretching has also been very helpful to people with PN. It can improve their physical condition by extending the muscles affected by neuropathy.

Beginner level Tai Chi and yoga are good ways to start.

Both gently stretch and strengthen the muscles, increase your range of motion and promote a healthy lifestyle while reducing stress with very little risk of further injury.

In general, treatment of peripheral neuropathy involves adopting healthy habits to reduce the physical and emotional effects such as: • Maintain an optimal weight • Follow a physician supervised or recommended program • Eat a balanced diet • Correct vitamin deficiencies • Limit or even avoid alcohol consumption.

• If you are a smoker; STOP smoking. Besides all the other health concerns involved in smoking, it also constricts the blood vessels that supply nutrients to the peripheral nerves and can worsen the symptoms.

Meet with your doctor and come up with a plan, get a bathing suit and take the plunge.

Gru, voiced by steve carell, is shown with two of his minions in a scene from the 3-d cGi feature, ‘despicable Me,’ about a villain who meets his match in three little girls.

‘Despicable Me’ tops weekend box office at $60.1 million LOS ANGELES (AP) — “Despicable Me” wasn’t such a bad guy after all, it seems, opening at the top of the box office with an estimated $60.1 million.

The first 3-D animated movie from Universal Pictures stars Steve Carell as the voice of Gru, a bumbling villain with plans to steal the moon — until three adorable orphan girls enter his life. Jason Segel, Russell Brand and Julie Andrews are among the star-studded voice cast.

Nikki Rocco, head of distribution for Universal, said Sunday that “Despicable Me” far exceeded the studio’s expectations for opening weekend.

“Thirty (million) would have been a win for the studio — because it’s a new creative idea, we really didn’t know what we had, so we backed in saying $30 (million),” said Rocco. “I would never have said $50 million-plus.”

Rocco believes a number of factors worked in the movie’s favor, including jokes for the kids and more grown-up humor and a warmhearted story for adults.

But the tiny, yellow Minions — quirky, pill-shaped creatures who spout gibberish and help Gru carry out his dastardly plans — were appealing to both, and were a huge part of the film’s marketing campaign.

The week’s other new wide release, “Predators,” grossed $25.3 million to open at No. 3. A sequel of sorts to the 1987 sci-fi cult classic “Predator,” the 20th Century Fox film stars Adrien Brody and Laurence Fishburne as mercenaries being stalked by alien hunters in the jungle.

Robert Rodriguez (“Planet Terror,” the “Spy Kids” movies) wrote an early version of the script in the 1990s, produced the film at his Texas compound and his name appears high on the credits — an association that proved fruitful, said Bert Livingston, a 20th Century Fox distribution executive “People wanted to see the film because Robert Rodriguez was attached to it, and he’s the best at what he does, and we got our audience,” Livingston said.

Breakfast Club lands in Rowan Pilot club from South Carolina makes stop as part of 26-event schedule

BY KARISSA MINN kminn@salisburypost.com

The longest-running pilot club in the world touched down at the Rowan County Airport this weekend.

Members of the Rowan Area EAA Chapter 1083 hosted and prepared breakfast Sunday morning for members, family and friends of the South Carolina Breakfast Club.

“It’s an incredible privilege for us to have the South Carolina Breakfast Club here with us,” said Mac Forbes, a member of the local EAA chapter.

“We are one of the very, very few venues outside the state of South Carolina that they have ever honored by letting us have their attendance.”

The club chose Rowan as its only North Carolina stop on its annual 26-event schedule.

When asked why, Forbes replied, “Because of the hospitality right here in Rowan County.”

Pilots, friends and family members shared stories during the hot meal, later showing off the aircraft that brought them there.

Several types of general aviation airplane, from ultralight to private jet, flew in along with a few helicopters.

Modern aircraft with sleek designs sat next to much older models, like Ron Hope’s 1946 Ercoupe, which was restored over eight years to better-thannew condition.

The aircraft began to arrive at about 7:30 a.m. Sunday, and most took off from the runway by 11:30 a.m.

Local EAA chapter members said at least 45

airplanes arrived from out of town, and many others there were owned by local pilots.

They could not give an estimate of the number of participants Sunday, but the average is about 75 aircraft and 130 people. On mornings with clear weather, there could be up to 150 airplanes and 200 people participating.

While Sunday’s skies were blue in Rowan County, they were gray in parts of South Carolina, so some pilots did not make the trip due to the weather.

One of the Breakfast Club’s members said he wouldn’t miss the chance to fly back home. Tom Ritchie currently lives in Rock Hill, S.C., but he was born and raised in China Grove.

“Whenever they have the Breakfast Club (in Rowan), I’m here — good weather or bad weather, I’m here,” Ritchie said.

The bi-monthly meeting of the South Carolina Breakfast Club has been visiting airports in South Carolina, with limited visits to North Carolina, since 1938. For the past several years, the Rowan County Airport has been an annual stop in their schedule.

“This is the only place outside of South Carolina that the Breakfast Club (regularly) comes to,” Ritchie said.

“That’s because of the strong EAA organization here.”

The South Carolina Breakfast Club is the oldest continually active flying club in the world. It has no dues and no

he early 1960s was such an interesting time of space exploration. Space travel was so important and in the forefront of the news that on the day of a launch, almost an entire day’s worth of television broadcast time would be devoted to it.

MACK (And I don’t WILLIAMS seem to remember there being a lot of complaints about soap operas being pre-empted.)

It was such an exciting time that it inspired my own “space program.”

I was about 10 years old then and would check with my neighbor, Mr. Cline, who had his own gravel-hauling business, to find out when he might be heading to South Carolina. He would bring back skyrockets for me since they were illegal in North Carolina. These were larger than the tiny “bottle rockets.” Each one held several ounces of powder. One brand, with its stripes, even reminded me of the Redstone Rocket, which was popular in the space program at the time.

I would fashion a “space capsule” out of white cloth tape (the kind used in first aid kits), making it a couple of layers thick in order to be somewhat sturdy and putting a piece of cotton inside to provide cushioning for the little “astronaut” who would be riding there.

Beetles turned out to be the best “candidates” for my space program. I tried an earthworm first, but it was a little too soft for the “rigors” of my version of NASA. Beetles proved to be most apropos due to their sturdy outer shell of exoskeleton that protects them in their daily wanderings. However, that usually doesn’t include being launched 500 feet into the air within the space of a few seconds.

After the traveler was secured within the capsule and the capsule sealed (with more tape), I would tape the capsule to the rocket — above where the fire was to exit, not below — light the fuse and watch the rocket achieve the highest point of its ascent. Several neighborhood children and I would then run “downrange” to retrieve the “space traveler” from his spent vehicle.

Upon retrieval and release from the capsule, the beetle would be slightly disoriented, but seemed to quickly regain his bearings, then continued on with the business of being a beetle, unaware of his achievement.

In the relativeness of things, 500 feet upward, to us, is not the realm of space.

But in that beetle’s little world, he had achieved space and became a true astronaut.

Humans with shotguns a growing threat to rare red wolf species EAST LAKE (AP) — It’s been 20 years since the nearly extinct red wolf was reintroduced to North Carolina and still the animals number just about 120, making them some of the rarest mammals on the planet.

The Charlotte Observer reported Sunday that the biggest barrier to the species’ population growth is humans with shotguns and a disdain for the animals that can prey on domestic animals.

“When hunting season starts, I say a little prayer,” said Kim Wheeler, director of the education group Red Wolf Coalition.

Between 1999 and 2006, gunshots accounted for 32 percent of the deaths among breeding wolves and

six to eight have been gunned down yearly since 2007. Illegally killing a red wolf can cost up to a year in prison and a $100,000 fine.

“There are people who honestly mistake a wolf for a coyote,” said David Rabon, a recovery coordinator with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. “And there are people who conveniently forget what a wolf looks like.”

The wolves were first released in North Carolina’s 154,000-acre Alligator River refuge in 1987, but the first four pair were ill-equipped to live in the wild and quickly died. The population on the Albemarle peninsula has remained stable at 100 to 120 in recent years. All were born there ex-

cept for a few captive-born pups reared by wild mothers, pumping fresh blood into the gene pool.

But the peninsula is home to some of North Carolina’s prime hunting land, boasting deer, bear and waterfowl. And two-thirds of the peninsula is owned by private landowners, many who think the red wolves are ravenous predators who reduce the number of game animals or go after domestic animals, such as chickens, cats and dogs.

“I’ve heard it said many times, when they see them they’re going to put a bullet in them because it’s ruining what they enjoy doing,” said Dennis Benston, who owns a sporting goods and firearms store in Engel-

hard on the peninsula’s southern end.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service says it has paid damages for wolves killing people’s animals only a halfdozen times since 1987.

But Benston thinks the agency doesn’t fess up to all the problems the wolves can cause.

“It’s bred into these animals to just constantly kill and not because they’re hungry,” said Benston, who also is a retired state forest ranger.

Wildlife officials say they hope a new management plan can help the wolves and people live more compatibly on the peninsula. For one, they say, the wolves and their howls bring in tourists.

The Red Wolf Coalition’s weekly

howling safaris are so popular with refuge visitors that visitors can only get on them if they make a reservation. The coalition is raising money for a viewing center where tourists can see and hear the animals.

The wolves also help control rodents such as nutria that damage drainage ditches, crop-munching deer and foxes and coyotes that prey on gamefowl such as quail.

While the official recovery goal is 220 animals in the wild in three different locations, some scientists think the peninsula has reached wolf capacity.

Cub Scout Day Camp celebrates Scouting’s centennial birthday When it comes to celebrating 100 years of Scouting, Rowan County knows how to do it right. The Boy Scouts of America’s annual Cub Scout Day Camp was in full swing June 14-18, with tons of fun activities in celebration of Scouting’s centennial birthday.

Rowan District Cub Scout Day Camp was hosted at Salem Evangelical Lutheran Church off of Sherrills Ford Road in Salisbury. The church opened its doors to more than 80 kids building birdhouses, firing BB guns, shooting bows and arrows, singing Cub Scout songs and making den flags. Other activities included Scout skills, art, leather crafts, sports, games, dissecting owl pellets, digging for fossils and grass bass fishing.

A special guest came to entertain the vibrant Cub Scouts each day. Bob Pendergrass and Cindy Bernhart from Dan Nicholas Park brought out birds of prey. Undoubtedly, the Scouts are still talking about getting up close and personal with a red-tailed hawk.

Other special guests during the week included Matt Hatley and Larry Tucker from Woodpecker Products, Joe Finney from Lodge Creek Calls and Terry Holt, who shared information on Native Americans and the Earth’s resources.

The real party began on the

WOLF FROM 3a “I think the limitations are space. They’re close to saturation at Alligator River,” said Randy Fulk, education curator at the North Carolina Zoo, which is among the more than 40 facilities that together have about 180 captive wolves.

The new management plan must first bring together the agencies that manage the various wildlife on the peninsula. The Fish and Wildlife Service is in charge of wolves while North Carolina’s Wildlife Resources Commission oversees coyotes and foxes.

Some say a revision of coyote hunting season to avoid spring wolf-breeding times or the wolves’ territory could reduce some of the shootings.

last day of camp. All the Scouts ate cake while laughing, joking and celebrating what makes Scouting so great. To beat the hot summer day, Frostbites of Salisbury came out to provide everyone with a refreshing icy treat and Locke Fire Department made sure to blast the kids with water from a fire truck.

Space Walk of Mooresville brought out one of its huge inflatable obstacle courses that the kids could use up all their energy running through it a million times. Matangira Curbside Recycling provided the Scouts with the knowledge and means to keep the camp clean through recycling.

A special thanks goes to Chris Holmes, day camp director, and Amy Frank, program director, for putting together an amazing Cub Scout Day Camp. Rowan has some of the best volunteers and this was obvious during Rowan’s week of day camp. A special thanks to all the Scouts who collected cans and non-perishable goods to donate to Rowan Helping Ministries.

If your child wants to get in on the action and all the fun offered through the Boy Scouts of America, contact Daniel Philemon, Rowan’s district executive, at dphilemo@bsamail.org.

Council looks for artists for 2 trail projects RALEIGH (AP) — The North Carolina Arts Council is looking for artists to create works for two public arts projects that will be centerpieces of cultural tourism trails.

One commission is public art for the AfricanAmerican Music trail in AllAmerica City Park in Kinston. The other is for the Historic Happy Valley project and the Yadkin River Greenway Trail in Patterson.

Happy Valley is the setting of the ballad “Hang Down Your Head Tom Dooley,” which recounts the murder of Laura Foster in 1867 and the hanging of her fiance, Tom Dula.

The state Wildlife Federation recently added $4,500 to rewards offered in two recent wolf deaths.

“We hope the investigation yields results and that the message is crystal clear: Killing red wolves in North Carolina will not be tolerated,” federation executive director Tim Gestwicki said in a statement.

Without regard for personal safety crawled through the hail of enemy fire and after finding one casualty to be mortally wounded, moved forward to the other and administered medical treatment. Returning to his squad he led them forward in a coordinated attack and succeeded in liquidating an enemy strong point.”

Following World War II he returned to Salisbury, completed his high school education and attended Catawba College. He became employed with Snider Wholesale Grocery Company where he eventually became the manager.

Mr. Wentz was married to Elizabeth “Lib” Price Wentz, the love of his life, for 61 years. Mrs. Wentz predeceased Mr. Wentz.

Mr. Wentz had a special love of boating. Over the years, he spent as much time as possible on the water at Badin Lake, Wrightsville Beach and Figure Eight Island.

It takes courage to do whatever it takes to reach a better financial place. And it's hard work. But so is living from paycheck to paycheck. In fact, living in a perpetual state of being broke is harder than taking control of your money.

Debt-proof living is not defined by austerity, poverty, guilt or fear. It is not about extremes, bizarre behavior, misery, hoarding or finding a way to recycle dryer lint. Debt-proof living is a lifestyle in which you spend less than you earn; you give, save and invest confidently; and you have control of your finances.

Debt-proof living is your invitation to a rich and abundant life.

Isn't it about time you got angry enough to do something about your money for good?

To my knowledge they have never had a confrontation.

Dear Bothered: You can ask your mother for more freedom and more privacy, but you can’t prevent her from

being annoying. All moms are annoying to some degree, though unfortunately your mom does sound high-strung — and also perhaps lonely.

Your duty is to try to communicate your desires to her in a respectful way, and think about her feelings.

You and your brother should talk together about what issues concern you the most. Make a list of your concerns and ask for a family meeting. Don’t pile on — but be fair.

Your mom might be willing to give you more e-mail privacy if you promise to be more open with her. She might be able to go a day without talking to your sister at college if your sister agrees to call her three times a week on a schedule.

Ask for a compromise, and promise to be trustworthy.

My sister is in college, and if she doesn’t call home every day, my mother decides something ASK horrible must AMY have happened.

My mom reads my e-mail, too, and jabbers into my ear whenever I write something.

If my 17-year-old brother and I are lucky enough to be home alone, she calls every 10 minutes.

This spring when my brother had finals at school, she came into his room all the time and droned on and on.

One time my friends were over, and she barged into my room right as we were talking. When we asked her if we could walk into town for lunch, she said, “Wait, I’ll come too!”

None of us had an appetite after that, I can tell you.

Another time my cousins were over, and she started talking about female things — in front of the boys!

We are good kids and have never lied to her. We don’t see why she has to snoop. What do you recommend?

RAYL FROM 1a erators.

They were given their equipment and time to follow Monica at Philips Arena prior to the Birthday Bash 15 concert on June 19.

Emily said that “Team Monica” shot about 12 hours of footage of the singer in concert.

Along the way, Emily saw other performers, including Roscoe Dash and Ludacris.

“We had some questions we had to ask (Monica),” Emily said, “but we had a lot of freedom to create.”

Her video will be posted online this month for the public to vote on.

Meanwhile, Emily is looking for more opportunities to expand her moviemaking horizons.

“Besides school and music

videos, I don’t really go out and film,” she said.

“That will change when I get my license!”

She’s still entering contests through Dreaming Tree Films, hoping for more opportunities to compete and learn from the pros.

And she and her family are still looking for ways to improve the movies she makes at home.

“It’s almost beyond words,” Diana said. “She’s always known what she wants to do.”

Her most recent investment: a green screen kit, the technology used to insert computer-generated backgrounds into movies.

And Emily is thinking ahead to not only more contests, but internships and which colleges to look into.

“I want to get a better camera, something higher quality, so I can shoot better,” she said.

But, she said, it’s going to

take hard work to succeed if she makes filmmaking a career.

One college’s film program requires students to purchase Final Cut Pro, the studio-quality version of the software she’s using now.

The price tag for that program alone: $999.

“And a Macbook to run it on,” she said, laughing. “It’s an expensive major.”

But this year, she’ll start touring campuses with her family, deciding where to take the next step in her filmmaking career.

Meanwhile, she’s still making videos with her family members, and coming up with ideas.

Emily speaks modestly of her own talents, but her parents are nothing but pleased.

“I’m anxious to see what she comes up with next,” Rod said. hugh fisher/SaLISBURY POST Contact Hugh Fisher via the Emily Rayl works at her computer, showing the video she created to audition for the editor’s desk at 704-797-4244.

Credit scores sink to new lows AG: Russian spies posed IPHONE threat to United States

NEW YORK (AP) — The credit scores of millions more Americans are sinking to new lows.

Figures provided by FICO Inc. show that 25.5 percent of consumers — nearly 43.4 million people — now have a credit score of 599 or below, marking them as poor risks for lenders.

It’s unlikely they will be able to get credit cards, auto loans or mortgages under the tighter lending standards banks now use.

Because consumers relied so heavily on debt to fuel their spending in recent years, their restricted access to credit is one reason for the slow economic recovery.

“I don’t get paid for loan applications, I get paid for closings,” said Ritch Workman, a Melbourne, Fla., mortgage broker. “I have plenty of business, but I’m struggling to stay open.”

FICO’s latest analysis is based on consumer credit reports as of April. Its findings represent an increase of about 2.4 million people in the lowest credit score categories in the past two years.

Before the Great Recession, scores on FICO’s 300-850 scale weren’t as volatile, said Andrew Jennings, chief research officer for FICO in Minneapolis. Historically, just 15 percent of the 170 million consumers with active credit accounts, or 25.5 million people, fell below 599, according to data posted on Myfico.com.

More are likely to join their ranks. It can take several months before payment missteps actually drive down a credit score.

The Labor Department says about 26 million people are out of work or underemployed, and millions more face foreclosure, which alone can chop 150 points off an individual’s score. Once the damage is done, it could be years before this group can restore their scores, even if they had strong credit histories in the past.

On the positive side, the number of consumers who have a top score of 800 or above has increased in recent years. At least in part, this reflects that more individuals have cut spending and paid

down debt in response to the recession. Their ranks now stand at 17.9 percent, which is notably above the historical average of 13 percent, though down from 18.7 percent in April 2008 before the market meltdown.

There’s also been a notable shift in the important range of people with moderate credit, those with scores between 650 and 699. The new data shows that this group comprised 11.9 percent of scores. This is down only marginally from 12 percent in 2008, but reflects a drop of roughly 5.3 million people from its historical average of 15 percent.

This group is significant because it may feel the effects of lenders’ tighter credit standards the most, said FICO’s Jennings. Consumers on the lowest end of the scale are less likely to try to borrow. However, people with mid-range scores that had been eligible for credit before the meltdown are looking to buy homes or cars but finding it hard to qualify for affordable loans.

FROM 1a

WASHINGTON (AP) — While they passed along no U.S. secrets, the 10 Russian sleeper agents involved in the spy swap posed a potential threat to the U.S. and received “hundreds of thousands of dollars” from Russia, Attorney General Eric Holder said.

“Russia considered these people as very important to their intelligence-gathering activities,” he told CBS’ “Face the Nation” in an interview broadcast Sunday.

He defended the decision to allow the 10 to return to Russia in exchange for the release of four Russian prisoners accused of spying for the West because the swap presented “an opportunity to get back ... four people in whom we have a great deal of interest.”

White House spokesman Robert Gibbs, sidestepping the question of whether Russia’s espionage poses a threat to the U.S., said the swap came amid improved relations between the two countries.

“The economic discussions

that President (Dmitry) Medvedev and President Obama had just recently and the progress that we’ve made in reducing nuclear weapons — and hopefully we’ll get a treaty through Senate this summer that will further reduce nuclear weapons — means our security is stronger and safer and our relationship is stronger,” Gibbs said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

Asked about the timing of the arrests in the U.S., Holder said one of the Russian agents was preparing to leave the country and there was concern that “we would not be able to get him back.” Holder also mentioned “other operational considerations” that he declined to reveal.

The Washington Post reported Sunday that on the day before the arrests, one of the agents, Anna Chapman, called her father in Moscow and told him she suspected her cover had been blown. The Post article cited anonymous U.S. law enforcement and intelligence sources.

titrust law can continue as a class action. The class includes anyone who bought an iPhone with a two-year AT&T agreement since the device first went on sale in June 2007.

Apple has sold more than 50 million iPhones in the last three years. The company does not specify how many have gone to U.S. customers.

Ware dismissed other claims against Apple, among them allegations that the company broke laws when an update to the iPhone’s operating software caused some phones to stop working and deleted programs that users had purchased.

The lawsuit seeks an injunction to keep Apple from selling locked iPhones in the U.S. and from determining what iPhone programs people can install. It also seeks damages to cover legal fees and other costs.

KAMPALA, Uganda (AP) — A police chief says two bombs went off at two sites in Uganda’s capital late Sunday killing and injuring a number of people.

Police Chief Kale Kaihura says he can’t yet confirm the death toll, but reports from the scene indicated it may be around 20 people killed and others injured.

Kaihura says he believes that Somalia’s most feared militia — al-Shabab, which has pledged loyalty to al-Qaida — could be behind the attack.

One of the bombs went off at an Ethiopian restaurant in Kampala, Uganda’s capital.

‘Barefoot Bandit’ nabbed in Bahamas NASSAU, Bahamas (AP) — The teenage “Barefoot Bandit” who allegedly stole cars, boats and airplanes to dodge U.S. law enforcement was nabbed Sunday as he tried to make a water escape then brought handcuffed — and shoeless — to the capital to face justice, abruptly ending his two-year life on the lam.

(AP) — The Rev. Robert H. Schuller, founder of Southern California’s C r y s t a l Cathedral megachurch and host of the “Hour of Power” televangelism broadcast, announced Sunday he will SCHULLER retire after 55 years in the pulpit and his daughter will take over.

The 83-year-old Schuller told his congregation that S h e i l a Schuller Coleman will become sole lead pastor, after sharing that role with her father for the past year.

Coleman p r e v i o u s l y COLEMAN served as principal of a private Christian school run by the cathedral and head of the Orange County church’s family ministries division.

She was ordained just a month before she was appointed to head up Crystal Cathedral Ministries.

“I’m very proud that Sheila has earned her doctorate at the University of California, Irvine, and that this university has declared her to (have earned) a distinguished alumnus award,” Schuller told his congregation during the 9:30 a.m. service. “Congratulations, I’m very proud of her.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama’s party could lose its House majority in this fall’s elections, his spokesman said Sunday, perhaps trying to jolt Democratic voters with the specter of GOP lawmakers rolling back White House policies.

“I think there’s no doubt there are enough seats in play that could cause Republicans to gain control. There’s no doubt about that,” press secretary Robert Gibbs told NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

Democrats now hold a 255178 edge in the House, with two vacancies in the 435-member chamber. Anywhere from 40 to perhaps 60 House seats could be competitive by the fall. Republicans would need to take back about 40 seats to slip into the majority, placing the current GOP leader, Ohio Rep. John Boehner, in line to replace Rep. Nancy Pelosi, DCalif., as speaker.

Those House Democrats who won election for the first time in 2008 in conservative leaning districts as part of the Obama wave are particularly vulnerable this fall, given that the president is not on the ballot.

Gibbs said retaining House control would depend on strong campaigns by Democrats. “I think we have to take the issues to them,” he said, adding that the primary argument would be how Republicans would govern as the majority party.

tary commission.

Holder proposed last year trying Mohammed and four alleged accomplices in civilian courts in New York City.

But that idea generated so much controversy that it’s all but been abandoned.

He told CBS’ “Face the Nation” that it’s possible to impose the death penalty in a civilian setting for someone who pleads guilty. But he says there’s far less legal certainty about that possibility in a military setting.

Since January, Holder has said that all options are on the table about where to try Mohammed and the four other terrorist suspects. That includes the possibility of having them go before a military commission in Guantanamo Bay, where they are now held.

Mohammed, who was captured in Pakistan in 2003, has proclaimed his involvement in the Sept. 11 plot and has said he wants to plead guilty and be executed, achieving what he views as martyrdom.

MYSTIC, Conn. (AP) — Artifacts of a battle between a Native American tribe and English settlers, a confrontation that helped shape early American history, have sat for years below manicured lawns and children’s swing sets in a Connecticut neighborhood. A project to map the battlefields of the Pequot War is bringing those musket balls, gunflints and arrowheads into the sunlight for the first time in centuries.

It’s also giving researchers insight into the combatants and the land on which they fought, particularly the Mystic hilltop where at least 400 Pequot Indians died in a 1637 massacre by English settlers.

Historians say the attack was a turning point in English warfare with native tribes. It nearly wiped out the powerful Pequots and showed other tribes that the colonists wouldn’t hesitate to use methods that some consider genocide.

The battle site was farmland for years before being developed in the mid-20th century into a residential neighborhood of tidy Capes, Colonials and ranch homes. A “Tree of Peace” is planted at a hilltop traffic circle that marks the center of an old Pequot fort.

“We never thought much about it when we moved here, though we’d get calls once in a while from researchers,” said Doris Oliver, who has lived on Pequot Avenue on the northern part of the battle zone with her husband, Ed, since the 1940s.

Salisbury Post “The truth shall make you free”

Shober Bridge Park: Joining past, future

BY EDWARD CLEMENT

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

For the Salisbury Post

et us look beyond the growing mound of white paper and red tape relating to the current Shober Bridge issue and toward a potential bright future for the historic structure and its important surroundings.

Picture, first, a properly rehabilitated bridge reinforced with additional steel if needed and made safe for both pedestrians and vehicles.

Now, imagine the picturesque bridge with its wooden railings painted white, as they were for many years. On each end of the two walkways could be placed traditional Salisbury light fixtures like those adorning parts of our downtown. The adjoining property on three sides of the bridge could be set aside as permanent green space and planted with ornamental trees and shrubs. White rail fencing and gazebos could be added.

The place could be called Shober Bridge Park.

This park is doable at a small cost. The city owns two of the lots adjoining the bridge. Historic Salisbury Foundation controls the third lot on the northwest side of the bridge. The historic school property is on the fourth side. The park can be put together with the expenditure of little public money.

Perhaps most of the money for the development of park amenities could come from local foundations and interested individuals.

Shober Bridge Park would have a historical landmark as its centerpiece, just as the attractive small park in the second block of West Innes has another unique landmark, the old Bell Tower, as its focal point. Also, the park would adjoin three significant 19th century houses, Ellis Street Graded School, one of North Carolina’s earliest public schools built in 1881, and an interesting row of early 20th century houses. Shober Bridge Park would be located within a fragile downtown neighborhood of 75 homes, designated as the Ellis Street Graded School Historic District. The addition of this desirable park would help stabilize and strengthen this important historic neighborhood. But the centrally located park would benefit thousands of people, as it would be within walking distance of many

More government isn’t the solution

L

Our current economic policy is following the advice of John Maynard Keyes. Anything the government does to stimulate the economy is good. Friedrich Hayek has better advice.

Limit government. The public can spend the money more efficiently. The power of the state corrupts those who wield that power and totalitarianism is the inevitable result of expanding governments role in the economy. To be politically free requires economic freedom. Hayek’s book is: “The road to Serfdom”.

— John Leatherman Salisbury

This sketch is artist Betty Sedberry’s rendition of how a future Shober Bridge Park might appear.

Shober Bridge

Map shows three parcels of land (larger shaded areas) that are adjacent to Shober Bridge and could be incorporated into the historic site. other downtown neighborhoods.

With the extension of sidewalks along North Ellis Street, Shober Bridge Park would connect to the City Park, four blocks away. If this is done, pedestrians would have sidewalk access all the way from Salisbury High School to the City Park. Pedestrian-friendly Shober Bridge Park would be a great place to pause on a walk or a jog to watch trains and soak up a little history.

The history of the bridge, which

is a valued piece of Salisbury’s past, could be told by historical markers in the park. There is much history to be told. It starts in the 1850s and comes forward with each generation adding to its story.

One of the most important aspects of the history of the bridge is documented for all time by an iconic photograph taken Aug. 29, 1962.

The photograph by Salisbury Post photogapher James Barringer shows five members of the Hodge

Taylor family crossing the bridge on the way to integrate nearby Frank B. John Elementary School.

This event marked the first integration of an all-white school in Rowan County.

With its historic bridge, planted green space and adjoining historic buildings and neighborhood, this park would be a little gem for Salisbury. No other town would have anything quite like it.

In the final analysis, the value of history is its use for people who live with it — both today and into the future.

For at least four decades, Salisbury has taken advantage of its history. We have used it for our benefit. The preservation of our historical sites and buildings has made our special place more attractive, more livable, more notable.

Should we not take advantage of this current opportunity to save a landmark and create a park for the benefit of our citizens now and for years to come?

My turn: Celeste G. Ward

In memory of Gerry, our darling starling My thank-you note has T now taken the form of a

his past spring, Salisbury Post lifestyle editor Katie Scarvey and photographer Jon Lakey came to visit us for lunch. More specifically, they came to visit Gerry — our impish, talking starling.

Several weeks later, I was writing a thank-you note to Katie and Jon for the wonderful article and pictures they published May 16. My husband Bill and I received many lovely comments from both friends and total strangers expressing how much they enjoyed reading about Gerry’s antics. The “Darling Starling” of Salisbury seemed to have his own fan club.

Before I could finish my note, the unthinkable occurred. Gerry suddenly became ill and died. My thank-you note has now taken the form of a pet care warning that I hope may spare others the sadness that has hung over our home. And it serves as my self-prescribed therapy after losing Gerry just a few days after the article appeared.

There is a saying proclaiming “you don’t know what you don’t know,” and it is easy to accept this statement as truth.

Another says “what you don’t know can’t hurt you.” but that one is a lie. I found out too late about the devastating effects of seemingly harmless, convenient products we use every day. It never occurred to me that the torchiere lamp with the eco-friendly bulb contributed to Gerry’s rapid and irreversible decline. He loved to warm himself and take a nap on its rim. He also had a new nesting box with a soft-glow night light, and new cage cover. We kept him out of the kitchen, away from non-stick cookware, cleaning products and the stove. He was in the dining room, and his accessories were purchased at a reputable pet store.

When Gerry was quieter than usual, we attributed his behavior to just checking out his new abode. He liked the wood perches and private

pet care warning ... corners. But then he stopped talking.

When he left the cage, he flew about aimlessly and seemed disoriented, much like an Alzheimer’s patient.

Because sickness makes them easy targets for predators, it is normal for birds to hide an illness or injury. The Internet provides a wealth of information as well as horror stories from bird people just like us who lost precious pets due to our own ignorance. A bird's respiratory tract is very sensitive. Most gases with little or no vapor, taste or smell are rarely noticed by humans. When an odor is strong enough for us to smell, it can severely damage or kill a bird.

By the time we located and drove Gerry to a bird specialist near Lake Norman, toxins had affected his brain, lungs and motor skills. He could not eat. My baby boy was dying, and there was nothing I could do about it. When Gerry got scared during a storm or snuggled up on my shoulder, I’d always tell him, “It’s OK, nobody is going to hurt you.” I thought I had done everything right, but now I could no longer keep that promise. Guilt descended rapidly. To let him linger was pointless and cruel. Through a burst of tears, I made the heartwrenching decision to have Gerry euthanized.

Notes to bird owners: Watch for changes such as feet, legs, wings or neck going limp; declines in eating, chirping or grooming; sneezing, coughing or breathing changes; vomiting; or changes in stool discharge or color.

Toxins include (but are not limited to): • Smoke or fumes from kitchen appliances, non-stick cookware,

grills, cigars, cigarettes, etc.

• Fumes emitted from glues, permanent markers, mothballs, and hot cooking oils • Light bulbs and halogen lights (fumes and heat) • Paint, stains, gasoline, turpentine, or other solvents • Cleaning supplies, disinfectants, bleach, ammonia, etc.

• Scented candles, oils, potpourri, and air fresheners • Perfumes, hairsprays, nail polish and remover • Most products with a spray propellant Will I stop rescuing birds? Not a chance!

Just last week our friend Robin Hager called from downtown Salisbury. A baby bird had fallen from the roof of Spring Robin, her needlework and frame shop. Would I come get it? Of course! I bundled it up, brought it home and named it non-gender-specific Marty. The injured leg would have healed with time and TLC, but unfortunately, internal injuries claimed its short life.

Gerry and Marty were secured in pretty little decorative boxes.

Along with other family pets, they were buried in the lily garden beside our house. An angel holding a small bird stands over their stone markers as I keep watch from the kitchen window.

• • • Celeste G. Ward lives in Salisbury.

Gerry, the starling rescued by Celeste and Bill Ward in 2008, was the subject of a May 16 article in the Post. Shortly afterward, Gerry’s health went into decline.

The Salisbury blogs (readers’ online comments) may be patterned after the Charlotte Observer Buzz.

But, they are not. The Buzz column is clever, timely, never mean, oftentimes funny. The Salisbury Post website smacks of meanness, stupidity, negativity and sometimes frightening points. One might read a positive comment now and then, but I have found that to be the exception. However, I must admit that I stopped reading them after my letter regarding the lack of respect for our Pledge of Allegiance prompted such comments of hate toward me.

Especially frightening was one comment, stating, “Why don’t you stay on your (he or she named my address) and drink your brandy.” With today’s Internet availability, one can find phone numbers, addresses. I sign my letters to the editor but you bloggers are anonymous.

This letter is prompted

by Sunday’s article, “Filing for School Board Elections…,” where Karen Carpenter states, “I love getting beat up in the blogs so much that I think I’m going to put myself through that for the next four years.” She says, too, that comments about her and her positions are “nasty and negative.”

What is the purpose of having online comments when persons like Carpenter who value education and work diligently to help our schools survive in this economy and then are attacked in an abominable way? Why, indeed am I subjected to threats when I write about my love of country, our Pledge of Allegiance?

This letter will be signed; you bloggers remain anonymous.

A Sea Turtle Story

THE STORY SO FAR… Pancake, an injured sea turtle, is rescued, treated and sent to a special sea turtle hospital to get well. At the hospital is a girl named, Lolly.

Lolly helps take care of Pancake. The girl and the sea turtle develop a special bond.

Pancake’s treatment is progressing nicely, until one day; Lolly notices that Pancake isn’t using her flipper. Is something terribly wrong with Pancake?

Chapter Four Pancake’s Progress

Jan hurried over to take a look. She had a worried expression on her face. “Show me which one,” Jan said.

“See,” Lolly said, pointing at Pancake’s front left flipper. “She isn’t using that flipper.”

“I think you’re right,” Jan said, examining Pancake’s flipper. “It does seem as if she has quit using it. I’ll call the Vet School and discuss this with them.” Jan picked up the phone. Lolly anxiously waited for Jan to finish her call.

“I couldn’t get through to Dr. Beth,” Jan told Lolly. “I left a message for her to call me first thing in the morning. Don’t worry, Lolly. She’ll tell us how to help Pancake.”

All the next day at school, Lolly was worried. Her best friend, Zack, noticed her mood.

“Hey, Lolly what’s wrong?” Zack asked.

“You look down in the dumps.”

“It’s Pancake, one of the turtles at the hospital,” Lolly replied. “She’s not doing so well.”

“I’m sorry to hear that,” Zack said. Then he asked, “What’s wrong with her?”

“She isn’t using one of her front flippers,” Lolly explained.

“That’s too bad!” Zack said. “I know you’re upset, Lolly. But I’m sure they can fix her up.”

“I hope so,” Lolly sighed. “She was

One patient arrived, ill with an infection, its shell covered with parasites and barnacles. A small male had been found floating in the water, unable to submerge. Another turtle had been “cold stunned,” a condition caused by being exposed to cold water that could have been fatal if the turtle hadn’t been rescued and treated.

But no matter what the problem, the sea turtles always had the best care the staff and volunteers could give them!

Between school, her family, the bookstore and the sea turtle hospital, Lolly was a very busy girl! But she was never too busy for her favorite sea turtle, Pancake.

Lolly stopped in to check on Pancake one Saturday morning. Lolly entered the sea turtle hospital, but she didn’t see anyone around. Lolly went over to check on Pancake.

“How’s my big girl today?” Lolly asked, looking into Pancake’s tank. To her surprise, Pancake moved her left front flipper as if answering the question.

Jan came out of the exam room where she had been stocking some new supplies

on the shelves.

“Jan! Did you see that?” Lolly cried.

“I sure did!” Jan answered. “She’s been doing that since yesterday. Pancake has improved tremendously. I called Dr. Andy to come take a look at Pancake. It may be time to release her.”

“Release her…” Lolly said softly.

“Maybe,” Jan said. “If Dr. Andy thinks she’s well enough.”

“That’s great,” Lolly said. She knew that one day Pancake would leave the hospital.

That’s what she and all the others had worked so hard for.

Pancake might be ready to leave. But was Lolly ready to let her go?

doing so well, too!”

Lolly couldn’t wait for school to be over.

She went home and dropped off her books; then she ran straight to the hospital.

Lolly burst through the door to the sea turtle hospital. Jan looked up and smiled at her.

“Calm down, kiddo,” Jan said. “I have good news for you. Dr. Beth thinks that with some physical rehabilitation, Pancake will be able to use her flipper again.”

“Yes!” Lolly squealed with relief.

“That’s wonderful news! I was so worried.”

“I know you were, dear,” Jan replied.

“Now, let’s get started! It will take lots of hard work and hours of physical therapy to help our new patient.”

The staff at the hospital worked hard with Pancake. It could take many long months of physical therapy for Pancake to regain full use of her flipper. But everyone was patient. Day after day, the volunteers worked with Pancake.

As Pancake’s therapy progressed, her injuries healed even more. The screws, pins and plates that the doctors used to hold Pancake’s shell together were taken out.

New scutes had grown and filled the white spaces, once covered by artificial skin and Super Glue.

Over the months, Pancake became a familiar presence in the hospital. Lolly’s bond with the sea turtle grew stronger with each passing day. She loved all the turtles at the hospital, but it was clear that Pancake was Lolly’s favorite.

Pancake continued to improve. And after school and on weekends, Lolly continued her work at the hospital. Every day was an exciting opportunity to learn something new. And of course, there were new patients to meet. Lolly had seen many turtles come through the doors of the hospital.

And each one had a story to tell!

Some, like Pancake, had been hit by boats. Some had been accidentally trapped in nets or hooked by fishermen. One turtle became tangled in fishing line and had a deep cut on his neck.

“They jumped on us tonight like we did them last

There were, however, amidst the overall unsatisfactory performance, some bright spots for South to take from the loss.

Second baseman Julio Zubillaga played a great game as he went 4-for-5, and reached base all five times, once by an error.

Mauer is in, but injuries take toll

BY BEN WALKER Associated Press

ANAHEIM, Calif. — To heck with his banged-up shoulder, Joe Mauer is headed to the All-Star game. Or rather, the All-Scar game.

Atlanta rookie Jason Heyward became the latest guy to join the dropout list Sunday. NL manager Charlie Manuel wanted Billy Wagner as a replacement — no good, the Braves closer passed because of a sore ankle.

The likes of Mariano Rivera, Chase Utley and Dustin Pedroia already were sidelined for Tuesday night’s game at Angel Stadium. Then achy All-Stars Justin Morneau and Jose Reyes announced this weekend they were out, too.

Boston third baseman Adrian Beltre could be the next one marked absent. He left Sunday’s game at Toronto with a strained left hamstring.

“If I don’t feel good I won’t play,” Beltre said. “I don’t want to screw up my season for a couple of at-bats in an exhibition game.”

Mauer will play, although the Minnesota catcher sat out Sunday’s game at Detroit after recently taking three foul tips off his right shoulder.

The reigning AL MVP drew a major league-leading 5 million votes in fan balloting for starting spots.

“Am I feeling great? No, and I could use a couple days off, but I’m able to go out there and play, so I’ll be there,” Mauer said Sunday.

“It’s sore, and I’m getting a day off today, but it isn’t going to keep me from going out to Anaheim,” he said.

Twins manager Ron Gardenhire might prefer Mauer go in a different direction.

“If I had my druthers as a manager, he’d be fishing with me in northern Minnesota — I know his shoulder would be fine there,” he said. “But it is a great honor to play, espe-

New salisbury girls coach chris McNeil has watched the current Hornets play basketball since his days at Knox Middle school.

A familiar face McNeil replaces Mitchell as Salisbury girls coach

BY RONNIE GALLAGHER rgallagher@salisburypost.com

When Andrew Mitchell resigned recently as girls basketball coach at Salisbury, resumes came pouring in from far and wide, just as athletics director Joe Pinyan and principal Windsor Eagle knew they would.

Who wouldn’t want to coach a team that has three state 2A titles since 2004, including two in a row?

Salisbury didn’t have to go far for

a replacement. Pinyan didn’t even have to look at any of the resumes.

Mitchell’s successor was already in the building.

Chris McNeil is the new Hornets’ coach. A big reason for his hiring: familiarity.

Even with the success — Salisbury is 58-3 over the last two seasons — McNeil will be the fourth coach in five years, following Jennifer Shoaf, Dee Miller and Mitchell.

“Dr. Eagle wanted a little stabili-

ty,” McNeil said. “I think a lot of the girls were — and will be — happy because I’ve been watching them play since their freshman year.”

McNeil, an assistant principal at Salisbury, coached the sport while at Knox Middle School, and most recently, in summer AAU. “He has the basketball knowledge because he has coached it,” Pinyan said. “He is the best guy for the job because the kids respect him.”

A positive is that there won’t be a

lot of change for a program that returns four starting seniors.

It ain’t broke. Don’t fix it.

“The biggest plus,” Pinyan noted, “is that the kids won’t have to learn anything new. You’ve got a team that’s a well-oiled machine. They can fine-tune and add a few components to it. Bring somebody new in and you have to revamp the whole thing.”

McNeil agrees. He has veterans

Spain wins World Cup title

BY BARRY WILNER Associated Press

JOHANNESBURG — Exhaustion etched on their faces, Spain 1 fatigued bodies ready Netherlands 0 to betray them, the players knew just one goal would be enough to win the elusive World Cup for their nation.

As the clock ticked toward penalty kicks, the shivering crowd at Soccer City Stadium grew anxious. associated press Spain or the Netherlands would win spain’s andres iniesta, center, celebrates with his teammates its first championship if only someone after scoring the decisive goal. could find the net.

Andres Iniesta did, and Spain rules the soccer world at long, long last.

“We have all done an incredible job,” he said Sunday night, shortly after the 1-0 extra-time victory. “I don’t think we even realize what we have done.”

They beat the Netherlands on Sunday to go one better than the European title Espana won in 2008.

Spain won its last four games by a score of 1-0 — a tight margin that characterized the month-long tournament.

The World Cup featured a record 31 onegoal decisions out of 64 matches — four more than the previous high set in 2002, according to STATS LLC.

This final was a physical test of attrition that sometimes turned dirty — a finals-record 14 yellow cards were handed out and the Dutch finished with 10 men. In the end, it was Iniesta breaking free in the penalty area, taking a pass from Cesc Fabregas and putting a rightfooted shot from 8 yards just past the outstretched arms of goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg with about seven minutes left to play, including injury time.

“When I struck it, it just had to go in,” Iniesta said.

Rampage wins opener From staff reports

The Rowan Rampage semipro football team opened the season on Saturday with a 22-6 win against the Thomasville Titans at the Dunbar Center.

Thomasville beat the Rampage to send them into a swoon last season, so it was a satisfying revenge win.

Former North Rowan QB Micheal Hunter threw touchdown passes to D.J. Shipp (North) and Channing Powell (Salisbury).

Fullback Justin Parker converted a two-point conversion to make it 140 at the half. Thomasville came back in the third with a score to make it interesting, but Willie Hosch (Salisbury) punched in the clinching touchdown inside of two-minutes left to go to seal the victory.

The Rampage’s defense played very well, holding a potent Thomasville offense to six first downs.

Rampage standouts included middle linebacker Alex Hiatt (West Rowan) defensive end Josh Drechsler (West). Both had sacks.

Linebacker Phillip Brown and defensive end Bobby Lee (North) also had good games. Former West Rowan and Catawba defensive lineman Justin McIntyre (West) was a bull in the middle.

The Rampage is off this weekend, then plays host to the Virgina Storm on July 24. The Storm is a new addition to the Central Carolina Football League.

nings, but Mooresville won the deciding game 2-1.

Wesley LeRoy was the star in the game Rowan won, blasting two homers, including a walkoff. He also was the winning pitcher.

Vick a no-show for golf Associated Press

TUCKER, Ga. — Michael Vick was a no-show at his celebrity golf tournament Sunday after probation officials restricted travel for the Philadelphia Eagles quarterback this weekend.

Vick spokeswoman, Judy Smith, said that Vick’s travel has been at the discretion of his probation officer since he was released from prison in a federal dogfighting case in May 2009.

The restriction follows a prosecutor saying this week that while Vick wasn’t involved in a shooting after his 30th birthday party in Virginia Beach, Va., that he was in a confrontation before the incident.

Vick missed the Michael Vick Celebrity Golf tournament in Georgia and also did not make a scheduled appearance at a youth football camp in Raleigh this weekend.

Spokespersons for both events say they were notified Sunday morning that Vick would not be attending.

“They called early, like 2 o’clock in the morning, telling us he’s not coming,” said Cornelius Corprew, director of Camp Elite Sports’ two-day football camp. “And then we couldn’t speak to him. It was through one of his associates.

“We’re not crazy. No state agency is communicating at 2 o’clock in the morning that he’s not allowed to come. I think that was a selfish act.”

Corprew, who said that he was told Saturday by Vick representatives that the NFL star would be there Sunday. He said Vick was paid a $2,000 deposit of a $4,000 fee. He said the camp was built around Vick’s appearance, and that campers paid $175 each and were promised packages that included photos and autographs.

“I’m upset because our camp is built on integrity and character and that’s what we teach to our kids,” Corprew said.

Rema Miller, whose Atlanta-based company promoted the charity golf tournament, said she spoke with Vick on Friday and he indicated at that time he was meeting with the Eagles.

On Sunday, Vick told event organizers he could not appear.

“He was coming at the time, but unfortunately he had to go meet with Philly for a team meeting,” Miller said. “He did send a message that he hates that he could not be here, but he appreciates everybody coming out to support the charities.”

Terance Mathis, a former Vick teammate with the Atlanta Falcons, played in the golf tournament. He said he was disappointed Vick wasn’t there, but admires Vick’s charitable efforts.

“He’s still doing a great thing, trying to raise money for charities and help the community,” said the former NFL wide receiver. “It’s an unfortunate thing that happened, and when that happens, law enforcement does what they have to do. But it doesn’t change how I feel about the guy and what he’s trying to accomplish.”

Though the events were scheduled on the same weekend, Corprew said he was assured that it would not present a problem. He said he was told not to worry about the golf tournament — that Vick would take care of them first.

Corprew said Vick missed an opportunity.

“You talk about second chances,” he said. “You’re given a great second chance and this would’ve been the perfect place to show he appreciated being given a second chance.”

The victim in the June 25 shooting has not be identified by the police, but Vick’s attorney, Larry Woodward, said it was Quanis Phillips — a co-defendant in the federal dogfighting case that landed Vick in federal prison. Phillips was treated at a hospital and released the following day.

Woodward said Phillips, who was sentenced to 21 months for his role in the dogfighting operation, was not an invited guest at Vick’s birthday bash.

Vick remains on three years’ probation and is not allowed to associate with anyone convicted of a felony unless granted permission to do so by his probation officer.

Police said Vick is not a suspect in the shooting.

SALISBURY POST

SOUTH FroM 1B and scored a couple of runs.

The slam came off Kernersville starter Nick Rhodes.

“He hung me a curveball inside, and I just was able to put a good swing on it and drive it out,” said Zubillaga.

“We know its a series and we have to go back home (tonight) and respond to this by winning.”

Though Zubillaga was the only real hot bat in the lineup for Lowman’s squad, Preston Penninger pitched well in relief of Jesse Park, who struggled early on. Several stellar defensive plays were turned in by Patrick Bearden at third base and Tripp Cross in left field.

Cross could have made “Web Gems” on Baseball Tonight with a catch he made in which he extended his arm over the fence and brought back a sure home run off the bat of Kernersville third baseman Evan Orenstein.

“I would really like to see baseball give everyone the four-day break,” he said.

Gardenhire said he was offered a coaching spot by AL manager Joe Girardi of the Yankees, but declined. “I told him I already had a reservation with some walleyes,” he said.

McNeil makes it clear that he is not replacing Mitchell, who took the boys job at alma mater North Rowan. He’s just carrying on the tradition.

“You can’t replace a coach of that caliber,” McNeil said.

“The only thing we can do is maintain our integrity, stick to fundamentals and hope for the best.”

The “best,” as far as area fans are concerned, is a third straight state 2A championship. McNeil says he feels no pressure.

Matt Miller opened the inning with a double. Smith tripled home Miller with a wicked shot off the wall that finally knocked out WF starter Trey Vestal. Like Simpson, Vestal had taken a licking but kept on ticking.

Dustin Myers relieved Vestal. Smith scored on a wild pitch before Preston Troutman and Noah Holmes produced their third hits of the night to pull Rowan within 9-8.

with a homer over the leftfield wall off Will Johnson, his second clutch blast in as many nights, and WF led 10-9.

The visitors needed three outs to even the series, but Newman Park isn’t an easy venue to get those last three.

Hayden Untz walked to open the ninth and forced McIntosh to turn to Game 3 starter, Ben Currie, in relief.

Untz got to third on a steal and a passed ball, and with one out, Justin Morris was hit by a pitch. When Morris swiped second, it left first base open and gave Western Forsyth a chance to pitch around Smith, who is 16 for his last 25.

WF didn’t. A factor in that strategy was Troutman was having such a big night swinging behind Smith.

Smith smashed one through the right side. Untz scored easily for the tie. Gantt gambled a little and waved Morris home for the win.

A charging Little fired a strike to the plate from right field. Smith, looking over his shoulder, knew Morris was dead, but catcher David Cook bobbled the ball with Morris bearing down on him, and Rowan pulled it out.

“We were lucky to win, but our guys did good things,” Gantt said. “It was fun to hear Newman Park erupt like that.”

PENNINGER

CROSS

“I kept going back and back and heard Blake (Houston) say “rob it” and I just jumped, timed it just right and brought it back,” Cross said.

One usual South Legion constant that was missing tonight was the big inning.

In almost all of South’s

games, it is able to produce masssive offensive innings that break the will of the opposition.

A main reason that didn’t occur last night was due to superb pitching from Kernersville’s Rhodes.

He hurled seven innings, allowing four runs on only three hits, something that South is definitely not accustomed to experiencing.

• NOTES: South will return to the friendly environment of China Grove for Game 3, where a much different team should be expected to take the field. ... South Rowan knows now how crucial home field is as the series transforms into a best-of-three.

sore right side acted up. He intends to take part in the AllStar festivities — nine of his family members are set to be in Anaheim, plus his New York Mets open the second half in San Francisco.

Boston pitcher Clay Buchholz, Red Sox catcher Victor Martinez, Milwaukee pitcher Yovani Gallardo and Colorado shortstop Troy Tulowitzki also made the All-Star team but aren’t able to play.

The hurts, however, helped a few others to make the roster.

Pitchers Andy Pettitte of the Yankees and Hong-Chih Kuo of the Dodgers, closers Heath Bell of San Diego and Rafael Soriano of Tampa Bay, second basemen Ian Kinsler

of Texas and Brandon Phillips of Cincinnati, Dodgers shortstop Rafael Furcal, White Sox first baseman Paul Konerko and Toronto catcher John Buck were picked as injury replacements.

“I’ll do everything I can to get everyone in,” Girardi said.

Detroit pitcher Justin Verlander became a late addition Sunday. He joined the AL staff because of a new rule — pitchers who start on Sunday are ruled out for the showcase. So when CC Sabathia and Trevor Hill threw Sunday, a couple of spots opened up and Verlander got one.

“I absolutely want to go — the All-Star game is the AllStar game, no matter how you get there,” he said.

does,” he smiled, adding he has the same philosophy as Mitchell.

“We’ll run, be aggressive on defense and MCNEIL try to hold teams under 40 points,” he said.

Last year’s 29-0 team that defeated East Bladen in the finals, averaged 62 points. Its opponents averaged 29. He sees his first Salisbury team not letting up.

“Going after a third straight championship makes them hungry,” McNeil said.

“They’ve developed a strong sense of passion.”

McNeil saw it when the Hornets competed in summer camps at Gardner-Webb and Charlotte.

“They really came into their own at Charlotte as far

as team chemistry,” he said.

“Nobody is selfish. They remind me of a powerhouse team.”

And McNeil gets the chance to coach it. He calls this, “the opportunity of a lifetime.”

McNeil realized he still had the passion to coach when he waved goodbye to Knox after seven years to go into highschool administration.

“I missed it,” McNeil admitted. “I love the gym. I’d find myself standing and watching, gripping my hands.”

As an AAU coach, he would listen to coaches talk Xs and Os, ask questions, then store that information. Now, he has the chance to put that knowledge to use.

His peers have no doubt on what the outcome will be.

“He has been successful in all that he’s done,” Pinyan said. “It’s the right fit.”

For the Dutch and their legions of orange-clad fans wearing everything from jerseys to jumpsuits to clown gear to pajamas, it was yet another disappointment.

Even with their first World Cup title tantalizingly within reach, they failed in the final for the third time. This one might have been the most bitter because, unlike 1974 and 1978, the Netherlands was unbeaten not only in this tournament, but in qualifying for the first World Cup staged in South Africa.

Soccer City was soaked in Oranje, from the seats painted in that hue throughout the stadium to pretty much everyone seated in them, including crown prince WillemAlexander. It was different when they lost to hosts West Germany and Argentina in previous finals; this time, the Dutch were something of a home team.

And the visitors won.

Spain had pockets of supporters, too, with fans dressed in red and scattered throughout the stadium.

Among those cheering were Queen Sofia, Rafael Nadal and Pau Gasol.

Spain’s fans might have been in the minority, but when the final whistle blew, they were tooting their vuvuzelas with a vengeance in tribute to their champions.

A second straight World Cup final headed into extra time, with the goalkeepers unbeatable. Stekelenburg, relatively inexperienced on the international level, made a spectacular left leg save when Fabregas broke free early in overtime.

The goal in the 116th minute came off a turnover by the Dutch defense that Fabregas controlled just outside the penalty area.

Iniesta stayed on the right and sneaked in to grab the pass and put his shot to the far post. Stekelenburg barely brushed it with his fingertips as it soared into the net.

And with that, Iniesta tore off his jersey and raced to the corner where he was mobbed by his

Several Dutch players wiped away tears as they received their runners-up medals — yet again. They had won every qualifying match and all six previous games in South Africa before the bitter ending.

The Netherlands now has more victories in World Cup games without a title than any nation: 19. Spain held that dubious record with 24.

Netherlands coach Bert van Marwijk took off his silver medal as soon as he left the podium, a look of disgust on his face.

The winners struggled but managed to lift their coach, Vicente del Bosque, in the air in celebration.

“This is immeasurable for Spain,” he said.

Then they made a quick costume change from their sweat-soaked blue jerseys into their traditional red ones.

Iker Casillas, the captain, accepted the trophy from

Casillas, voted the World Cup’s top goalkeeper, kissed the distinctive gold award and raised it for all to see while cameras flashed and confetti flew throughout the still-full stadium.

“This really is quite a cup,” Casillas said. “The European Championship was the most important moment of our lives, but today is much bigger than anything else.”

Soon, the entire team and staff gathered at midfield for a group photo. The players bounced up and down to the World Cup theme song, then took a victory lap as the trophy was passed to each member of the squad.

on these guys.”

Both coaches pointed at Simpson as the difference.

“I can’t say enough about the way Simpson hung in there,” Gantt said. “His getting as far as he did in the game saved us. We didn’t have a lot of pitching options because (reliever) Alex Litaker has to be our Game 3 starter.”

Simpson’s pitching line — 10 hits, nine earned runs — would make any hurler cringe, but the only stat that really mattered was that Rowan improved to 27-10.

“I wasn’t really pitching that bad, and I knew we couldn’t burn any more pitchers,” Simpson said.

The game started badly for Rowan, with Western Forsyth getting three runs in the first, two on Andre McCoy’s single up the middle.

When Rowan wasted a second-and-third-no-outs opportunity in the bottom of the first, it meant playing uphill.

But with a player such as Smith, you’re never completely out of it, and Rowan took a 4-3 lead on his two-run double in the fourth.

“We always know, even when we get down that we can battle back,” Smith said.

“There’s always a chance.”

Rowan’s lead lasted mere minutes. In the fifth, Western Forsyth threatened to chase Simpson with a five-run inning that included six hits and back-to-back-to-back doubles

CHICAGO — Carlos Quentin hit a grand slam and a solo homer, and the Chicago White Sox surged into first place in the American League Central with a 15-5 win over the Kansas City Royals on Sunday.

Andruw Jones hit his 400th career homer during a seven-run, four homer third inning for Chicago, which moved atop the division after trailing the Twins by 91⁄2 games on June 8.

Alex Rios and Dayan Viciedo also homered for the White Sox (49-38), who have won eight straight and 25 of 30. Chicago moved a half-game ahead of Detroit for first.

Pavano (10-6) improved to 5-0 in his last seven starts, allowing three runs on six hits in 7 2-3 innings. He walked one and struck out six before turning it over to Jon Rauch, who pitched a scoreless ninth for his 20th save in 24 tries.

Yankees 8, Mariners 2 SEATTLE — CC Sabathia allowed a run in seven innings and joined Tampa Bay’s David Price as the only 12-game winners in the American League, and the Yankees roughed up Seattle.

Legendary P.A. man dies SEATTLE (AP) — About five years ago, Derek Jeter first came up with the idea of recording Bob Sheppard’s voice calling his name to the plate at Yankee Stadium.

Hearing someone else make the introduction at home just didn’t sound right.

“I grew up a Yankee fan and he was the voice I always heard,” Jeter said Sunday in Seattle, hours after Sheppard died at the age of 99 at his Long Island home.

“There were a few times sprinkled in and out that he wasn’t there and it didn’t sound right. So I had the idea to record his voice and always used it as long as I was playing.”

Jeter’s reaction was echoed by many of his teammates, who were saddened to learn of the passing of the Yankees’ longtime public address announcer. Even though Sheppard has not been in the booth regularly at Yankee Stadium since 2007 — ending a career that began in 1951 — his voice remained a vivid memory for fans and players alike.

Jorge Posada got a nickname out of the first time Sheppard announced his name. Without a chance to check with Posada on the pronunciation, Sheppard announced his entry into the game with an “O” at the end of his last name. Jeter caught on and gave Posada the nickname “Sado.”

“His voice, there was nobody better,” Posada said.

“People looked forward to coming to Yankee Stadium to hear that voice. It’s a sad day.”

All-Star closer Mariano Rivera would try and block out as many distractions as possible when entering games in the ninth inning, but he never could ignore Sheppard’s voice.

“You always hear that voice, even if you don’t want to,” Rivera said.

Sheppard started announcing Yankees games in 1951 — Joe DiMaggio’s final season and the year Mickey Mantle made his debut.

Andruw Jones is congratulated by teammates after hitting his 400th career homer. hit a game-ending single over a drawn-in outfield in the 10th inning, giving Tampa Bay a win.

Ben Zobrist opened the 10th with a single off Kerry Wood (1-4) and later was forced out at second on Carl Crawford’s grounder. After Crawford stole second, Evan Longoria was intentionally walked.

Bartlett then won it with a long single to right center on 1-2 pitch.

Athletics 5, Angels 2 OAKLAND, Calif. — Jack Cust homered for the second time in three games, Adam Rosales added a two-run single and the Athletics beat the Angels.

Trevor Cahill (9-3), Oakland’s lone All-

Star representative before closer Andrew Bailey was added to the AL roster Sunday, scattered five hits over seven innings.

Cahill worked out of a bases-loaded, no-out jam in the sixth without allowing a run to earn the win.

Orioles 4, Rangers 1 ARLINGTON, Texas — Corey Patterson had another big hit against Texas, rookie Jake Arrieta pitched into the seventh and Baltimore completed a four-game series sweep of the AL West-leading Rangers.

The Orioles (29-59) go into the All-Star break with the worst record in the majors and hadn’t won any of their 14 road series this season before getting to Texas.

Santana shuts down Braves in Mets’ win NL West-leading Cincinnati Reds with a 1-0 win Sunday.

Hamels (7-7) struck out three, walked three and didn’t allow a run for the first time in 18 starts this season. J.C. Romero fanned the only batter he faced in the ninth, and Brad Lidge got the final two outs for his sixth save.

Marlins 2, Diamondbacks 0 PHOENIX — Jorge Cantu doubled in a run and Dan Ugla had an RBI single for the Marlins, who went 7-6 on a 13-game road trip that began June 28 against the Mets in Puerto Rico.

Burke Badenhop (1-5) threw just two pitches in relief of starter Alex Sanabia but got the victory. Relievers Brian Sanches, Jose Veras and Clay Hensley also were part of the Marlins’ shutout, before Leo Nunez threw the ninth for his 20th save in 25 opportunities.

NEW YORK — Johan Santana went seven innings in another spotless start, and rookie Ike Davis hit a long home run to help the Mets avoid a threegame sweep by their NL East rival.

Alex Cora and pinch-hitter Josh Thole delivered RBI singles with two outs, and Angel Pagan had three of New York’s 13 hits. The Mets also got flawless relief work from Bobby Parnell and Francisco Rodriguez in their major leaguebest 13th shutout.

Santana (7-5) was coming off a three-hit shutout of Cincinnati on Tuesday, when he hit his first major league home run. He outpitched Derek Lowe (9-8), who lasted only 51⁄3 innings.

Phillies 1, Reds 0 PHILADELPHIA — Cole Hamels tossed six-hit ball into the eighth inning, Jimmy Rollins drove in the only run and the Philadelphia Phillies completed a four-game sweep of the

era hit his first homer of the season in the ninth for San Diego.

Heath Bell got the five outs for his 24th save in 27 chances.

Giants 6, Nationals 2 WASHINGTON — Travis Ishikawa drove in three runs, Madison Bumgarner took a shutout into the seventh inning and the Giants won for the seventh time in nine games.

Buster Posey had two RBIs for San Francisco, while Bumgarner (2-2) allowed a run and seven hits in six-plus innings, walked none and struck out six to win his second consecutive start.

Pirates 6, Brewers 5 MILWAUKEE — Corey Hart hit a two-run homer in the ninth inning to give the Brewers a three-game sweep and hand Pittsburgh its sixth straight loss.

John Axford (5-1) allowed a run in the ninth but picked up the win. Pittsburgh was also swept by Houston and hasn’t won since beating Philadelphia last Sunday.

Cardinals 4, Astros 2 HOUSTON — Matt Holliday hit a three-run homer, Colby Rasmus drove in a run with a pinch-hit single and the Cardinals finally solved the Astros’ Wandy Rodriguez.

Blake Hawksworth (3-5) yielded seven hits and two runs in 51⁄3 innings to get the win in his fifth major league start.

Closer Ryan Franklin pitched a scoreless ninth for his 16th save in 17 opportunities.

Dodgers 7, Cubs 0 LOS ANGELES — Vicente Padilla pitched eight innings of two-hit ball and James Loney hit a three-run homer off Carlos Silva before the Cubs pitcher was ejected in the second inning of baseball’s last game before the All-Star break.

The Dodgers took three of four from the Cubs and are tied with Colorado for second in the NL West, two games back of surprising San Diego. The sluggish Cubs finished the first half 91⁄2 games back of NL Centralleading Cincinnati.

SPORTS DIGEST

Reutimann’s faith in Waltrip rewarded Associated Press

JOLIET, Ill. — David Reutimann agreed to join Michael Waltrip Racing when it was closer to an abstract idea than a functioning, full-time race team in NASCAR’s top series.

Of course, Reutimann was hardly an established commodity himself.

Now the calculated gambles both parties made are paying off.

“David came when we had nothing,” MWR general manager Ty Norris said.

“When I say ’nothing,’ I REUTIMANN mean nothing.”

Now they just might be on to something.

Reutimann won Saturday night’s Sprint Cup series race at Chicagoland Speedway, zooming past Jeff Gordon in the late stages of the race and holding on to claim his second career victory in convincing fashion.

And Reutimann is on the verge of making Waltrip’s team his long-term home, with a handshake deal on a new contract.

“I’m not going anywhere,” Reutimann said. “I’ll be at Michael Waltrip Racing. I may be cutting the grass, but I’ll be at Michael Waltrip Racing.”

The second career win was much sweeter than the first for Reutimann, who had grown sick of hearing from competitors that last year’s victory at Charlotte didn’t really count because it came in a rain-shortened race.

Crew chief Rodney Childers said he was “a little emotional” because he knew how tough it was to hear others detract from his win.

“Ever since then, I wanted to win one for him and do it right,” Childers said.

And while Reutimann and the No. 00 team have been inconsistent this year,

Reutimann left Chicagoland 15th in the series points standings, but he had several good runs undone by engine problems earlier in the season.

“I mean, all year, if you look how we’ve run, the fact we had some problems, our ontrack performance has been better than it was last year,” Reutimann said. “I’ve always had confidence in this team, knew if we get things going in the right direction, we could win races regardless of whether everybody else (thought) we could.”

Still, Reutimann acknowledged that Sat-

AUSTIN DILLON

Dillon wins Associated Press

NEWTON, Iowa — The black No. 3 Chevrolet is back in victory lane, because of a precocious rookie who finally took advantage of his considerable promise.

Rookie Austin Dillon held off Johnny Sauter in a green-white-checkered finish and picked up his first career win at Sunday’s Trucks Series race in Iowa.

The 20-year-old Dillon won from the pole, becoming the second-youngest driver to win a truck series race behind Kyle Busch.

It was also the first time the black No. 3 won in any series since Dale Earnhardt’s death in 2001, a fact not lost on the promising Dillon.

“It’s pretty awesome.

Like I’ve said from the beginning of the year, I wanted to do it for the fans too.

I know they want to see it out front,” Dillon said. “I’m glad to sit in the No. 3. It’s my favorite number to run, and hopefully I can run it for a long time.”

He will if he runs like he did on Sunday, expertly piloting a truck third-place finisher Matt Crafton called “stupid fast.”

The grandson of longtime NASCAR owner Richard Childress kept his car clean while a number of top drivers ran into trouble.

The top four in the points standings — Todd Bodine, Aric Almirola, Timothy Peters and Ron Hornaday, Jr. — all experienced issues that hampered their shots at catching Dillon.

Sauter finished second followed by Crafton, Ken Schrader and James Buescher.

Dillon, the first rookie to win the pole for three straight races, opened a healthy edge from the outset.

The NBA notebook ...

CHICAGO — Jesse Jackson criticized Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert on Sunday, saying Gilbert sees LeBron James as a “runaway slave” and that the owner’s comments after the free-agent forward decided to join the Miami Heat put the player in danger.

Shortly after James announced his decision last week, Gilbert fired off an incendiary letter to Cleveland’s fans, ripping the 25-year-old and promising to deliver a title before James wins one. He called James’ decision “cowardly” and later told The Associated Press he believes James quit during a handful of Cavaliers playoff games.

“He has gotten a free pass,” Gilbert told the AP in a phone interview late Thursday night. “People have covered up for (James) for way too long.

Tonight we saw who he really is.”

Jackson said Gilbert’s comments were “mean, arrogant and presumptuous.”

“He speaks as an owner of LeBron and not the owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers,” the reverend said in a release from his Chicago-based civil rights group, the Rainbow PUSH Coalition.

“His feelings of betrayal personify a slave master mentality. He sees LeBron as a runaway slave.

This is an owner employee relationship — between business partners — and LeBron honored his contract.”

Messages were left Sunday night seeking comment from Gilbert, the Cavaliers and James.

Jackson also called Gilbert’s comments an attack on all NBA players and said the owner should face a “challenge” from the league and the players’ association.

LEBRON’S AUDIENCE NEW YORK — The Nielsen Co. estimates that 9.95 million people watched LeBron James announce on ESPN that he’s leaving Cleveland to play for the Miami Heat, making it the third-mostwatched program on cable television this year.

urday’s win helped his confidence.

And he still believes the team can qualify for NASCAR’s season-ending Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.

“Every win helps confidence,” Reutimann said. “That’s always going to be that way. But we still got some work cut out for us to get into the Chase. But we’re a lot closer than we were. That’s going to be our goal, get in the Chase, then we’ll move on from there.”

Even if that doesn’t happen this year, Reutimann and Childers expect to be around to make another run at the Chase with Michael Waltrip Racing next year and perhaps be-

yond.

Asked to clarify his future with the team, Reutimann joked that he might get fired for giving away company secrets before the official announcement.

“We’re in good shape,” he said. “We’ve basically shook hands on the deal and we got things all lined up.”

And what about his crew chief?

“Rodney can’t leave,” Reutimann said.

Norris said the team would have a formal announcement on the future of Reutimann and Childers at Indianapolis later this month.

“But these guys proved tonight that they deserve a contract,” Norris said. “They deserve to be around.”

Reutimann’s win was immensely popular among his competitors.

“David is a neat guy,” Gordon said. “I just know that that win that he had in Charlotte, you know, while he took it, not going to throw away the trophy, earning it the way he earned it tonight is the way he wants to do it. They’ve been close at times, just haven’t had all the breaks.”

Carl Edwards said Reutimann’s humility stands out.

“He’s just a nice person,” Edwards said.

“He’s the first guy to congratulate you on something and the first to apologize if he feels like he did something wrong.”

Reutimann said he appreciates the respect from fellow drivers and has tried to race people the right way.

“To be able to go out there and fight for wins and have good finishes, (a) shot at getting in the Chase, I think it makes you a little more legitimate in the eyes of a lot of different people,” Reutimann said. “As far as drivers are concerned, you can go out there and win races and (have) people still not respect you. I don’t think wins give you respect automatically. It’s a combination of a lot of different things.”

“The Decision” that aired Thursday night ranks behind the 12.3 million who watched the NFL Pro Bowl and 11.2 million who watched an episode of “ICarly” on Nickelodeon in January.

The special was of particular interest in Cleveland, where an estimated one in four homes with televisions tuned in.

James’ future can’t yet compare to Kobe Bryant’s present, however. More than 28 million people watched Bryant win his fifth championship last month in the seventh game of the NBA Finals between the L.A. Lakers and Boston Celtics.

DOLPHINS WELCOME MIAMI — Even the Miami Dolphins are talking about LeBron James’ arrival in South Florida.

The Dolphins took out full-page ads in Sunday’s editions of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Palm Beach Post and The Miami Herald, thanking Dwyane Wade for staying with the Heat and welcoming James and Chris Bosh to the region.

“Congratulations to the Miami Heat organization on a huge week,” the ad says.

Miami’s football and basketball teams have always had a friendly relationship.

Dolphins players are regularly courtside at NBA games, Hall of Fame quarterback Dan Marino is a longtime fan and Dolphins coach Tony Sparano was invited to sit with Heat president Pat Riley for a game this past season.

PISTONS DETROIT — Ben Wallace left the Detroit Pistons once. He doesn’t plan to do it again.

The former Defensive Player of the Year told The Associated Press on Sunday he heard from a lot of teams, but agreed to a two-year deal to stay with the Pistons about a week ago.

“This is the place I want to retire,” Wallace said in a telephone interview with the AP. Wallace, who expects to take a physical soon, will make $1.9 million each season.

MORZINE, France — Close the book on the Lance Armstrong era at the Tour de France. He has.

The record seven-time champion wrote off his chances of victory in his 13th and last Tour, signaling the beginning of the end of one of the most celebrated and controversial careers in cycling history.

The 38-year-old Texan’s hopes for yet another title were dashed Sunday after he got caught in three crashes — one of which brought him down — and struggled to keep up during two tough climbs in Stage 8, the race’s first foray into the Alps. He and his team said his hip got

LANCE ARMSTRONG banged up, keeping him from pedaling hard.

The stage was won by 25-year-old Andy Schleck of Luxembourg, and Armstrong finished nearly 12 minutes back, in 61st place.

World champion Cadel Evans of Australia took the yellow jersey by finishing 10 seconds behind Schleck, but well ahead of overnight leader Sylvain Chavanel of France.

“My Tour is finished,” said Armstrong, who fell to 39th overall.

“When it rains it pours I guess,” he said in a Twitter message. “Today was not my day, needless to say. Quite banged but gonna hang in here and enjoy my last 2 weeks.”

The race finishes July 25 in Paris.

‘Baby J’ finally gets a name Associated Press

CHARLOTTE — NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson has finally come up with a name for the daughter he’d been calling “Baby J” since her birth earlier this week.

The four-time defending NASCAR champion introduced Genevieve Marie Johnson in a Twitter posting Sunday. The introduction included a photo link of her official birth announcement.

Johnson and his wife, Chandra, welcomed their JOHNSON first child Wednesday but were slow to settle on a name. He finished 25th in Saturday night’s race at Chicago and is currently third in the Sprint Cup Series standings.

Other NASCAR drivers awaiting the births of their children over the next month are Juan Pablo Montoya, whose wife is expecting a girl, and Jeff Gordon, whose wife is having a boy.

The textbook play arose at the table

BY PHILLIP ALDER United Feature Syndicate

Gerald Ford said, “I know I’m getting better at golf because I’m hitting fewer spectators.”

In today’s deal from a social game after golf, West found a textbook play that hit declarer, defeating his partscore contract.

Monday, July 12 A more adventurous you will open up many new avenues in the year ahead, which will lead to a happier social life. A spate of jolly experiences will transpire, which will take you to places where you’ll meet new, fun people.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Someone you helped out will be eager to tell others about the great job you did for him/her and how generously you gave of your time. This person wants others to know how nice you are.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — An authority on the subject might bring it to your attention that something you have is of greater value than you realize. This person appreciates its worth and wants you to as well.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — The secret to getting things done is merely to begin. Once you have things underway, it’ll inspire you to keep going and accomplish far more than you ever thought possible.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Whether you realize it or not, your happier qualities will be welcomed and appreciated by those with whom you come in contact, especially someone of the opposite gender who has an eye on you.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Today could signal the beginning of many new opportunities for you in several different departments of your life. Respond to the conditions that make this possible and let them have their way.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Get out and circulate, even if this means doing so within the confines of an office or building. You’re in a brief cycle where you will be able to cultivate friendships far more easily.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Keep your eyes peeled on new ways and means to make money, other than your usual sources. New avenues will open up for you, but you’ll need to be on your toes to recognize them.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — That buzz taking place all around you could be about what a nice person everyone thinks you are. Keep that smile on your face and your hand extended in friendship.

Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — Don’t be despondent if things haven’t been going your way lately. If given half a chance, everything will start to turn around, and will transform all those negatives into positives.

Aries (March 21-April 19) — Get out and circulate if you want some good things to happen to you. All you have to do is be nice to everyone you run into, and they’ll quickly respond in kind.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) — You’re capable of achieving far more than you might imagine if you’ll simply trust your talents and abilities. Apply your hand to a project or idea and watch what happens.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Because of the way your clever mind thinks, even a simple comment or suggestion will call attention to those who are listening. What you say will be met with an instant reaction.

Problematic hip replacement needs revision Dear Dr. Gott: I am a 39year-old male. I had a total hip replacement on my left hip in July 1998. I had almost no pain (once it healed) for more than 10 years. Now I have almost DR. PETER constant GOTT pain and other sensations that feel as if the prosthetic is popping out or slipping.

My problem now is that the only doctor who will agree to do my revision surgery (the one who did the original replacement) is not a provider with my insurance. I have consulted two other physicians, and they both tell me that I need to wait because the plastic ball part of the prosthetic is not worn enough to warrant having the surgery. At the same time, they tell me that they can’t say for sure what is going on until they open me up.

I have had every scan/test and blood test that I know of to check for low-level infections, but all came back negative. There is one other local surgeon I can consult with, but I feel he will concur with the other two doctors and tell me to hold off on surgery.

I am currently taking 500 milligrams of naproxen twice a day and extrastrength Tylenol along with Vicodin to try and combat the pain, but it is

becoming a losing battle.

Do I just pack it in and have the original doctor perform the surgery for my hip and possibly go bankrupt? Or should I wait and suffer until one of the other doctors thinks it is time for surgery? I understand that revisions always come with risk and less chance of success than the previous surgery, but I can’t take much more and am ready to give the procedure a shot.

I don’t believe that you should go bankrupt in the process of improving the quality of your life, so I suggest you either return to one of the orthopedists who accepts your insurance to discuss why they don’t think you are a candidate, given your age and pain level, or request a referral to the final local orthopedist for another opinion. You may also benefit from reviewing nonlocal physicians who accept your insurance, including those associated with a teaching hospital or a major medical center.

To provide related information, I am sending you copies of my Health Reports “Managing Chronic Pain” and “An Informed Approach to Surgery.”

Other readers who would like copies should send a self-addressed stamped No. 10 envelope and a $2 check or money order per

Dear Reader: A typical prosthetic hip can be expected to last 10 to 20 years. Factors such as weight and activity levels can have a bearing of success.
