SANFORD — The Sanford man accused of stabbing his teenage girlfriend to death in April 2008 is facing a lesser murder charge than initially presented.

Sanford Police Capt. David Smith said police booked Edward Donald Rivera, 21, with second-degree murder Monday.

Rivera was being held in Lee County Jail after he was arrested in August 2008 for the murder of 17-year-old Dana Shorb at 210 Bounty Lane.

SANFORD — Troubled financial times at the Boys and Girls Clubs of Sanford/Lee County will force the organization to close its doors for two weeks this summer and raise its fees for summer programs.

Boys and Girls Clubs Executive Director Bo Hedrick warned of impending tough decisions two months ago, but he said club leaders opted recently to close for the first and last weeks of its summer program.

Meanwhile, rates for the program, which offers 57 hours of weekly summer access and free breakfast and lunch for area youth, will be up from a one-time $32 bill to a $32 summer registration fee and weekly $20 charge per child.

“I have never seen the local organization or the national level in this position,” said Hedrick, who has worked with

SANFORD — Shannon Gurwitch wants change.

Dissatisfied with the current Lee County Board of Education and the progress in Lee County Schools, Gurwitch decided to run for a seat on the board this May. She hopes to bring what she believes is much-needed change.

“People are unhappy with the present state of education in Lee County,” she said, and it’s inappropriate to just give a pat on the back. She called the current board members “out of touch.”

Like some of the other candidates, Gurwitch has children in the school system.

She and her husband Jeff have four children; their youngest is 7 years old and their oldest

This day in history: On April 22, 1970, millions of Americans concerned about the environment observed the first “Earth Day.” In 1864, Congress authorized the use of the phrase “In God We Trust” on U.S. coins.

In 1889, the Oklahoma Land Rush began at noon as thousands of homesteaders staked claims.

In 1898, with the United States and Spain on the verge of formally declaring war, the U.S. Navy began blockading Cuban ports. Congress authorized creation of the 1st U.S. Volunteer Cavalry, also known as the “Rough Riders.”

In 1930, the United States, Britain and Japan signed the London Naval Treaty, which regulated submarine warfare and limited shipbuilding.

In 1938, 45 workers were killed in a coal mine explosion at Keen Mountain in Buchanan County, Va. In 1944, during World War II, U.S. forces began invading Japanese-held New Guinea with amphibious landings at Hollandia and Aitape.

In 1954, the publicly televised sessions of the Senate Army-McCarthy hearings began.

In 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson opened the New York World’s Fair.

Boys Choir to kick off tour at local church

SANFORD — As of Wednesday afternoon, 297 people in Sanford have taken advantage of OneStop Early Voting polls to cast ballots in this year’s primary.

At the Lee County Board of Elections office on Steele Street, 214 people have voted in the five days the poll has been opened.

Just 83 have voted at the McSwain Extension Center on Tramway, the board’s other location.

The early voting polls will be open through 1 p.m. on May 1, the Saturday before the May 4 primary. Hours of voting are from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.

SANFORD — The awardwinning North Carolina Boys Choir will kick off its 2010 spring concert tour at 7:00 pm on Friday, May 14, at Jonesboro United Methodist Church in Sanford.

The North Carolina Boys Choir is one of the relatively few existing boychoirs in this country, which perpetuates a centuries old art form. It is the only full-time boys’ choir in the Southeast and one of only two in the nation to be named as the state boys’ choir by a gubernatorial designation.

The choir consists of nearly 100 members who range in age from 9- to 15years-old. Each member of the Concert Choir (touring ensemble) was initially selected through several auditions and has gone through the ranks of the Training Choir (beginning choir). The choir presents two major performances each year at Duke Chapel.

Its present Musical Director, William Graham, founded the choir in 1972 as the Durham Boys Choir.

Information about the boychoir organization can be obtained by calling (919) 489-0291 or by visiting their website at www. ncboyschoir.org.

Tea Party passion

E

arly in my journalism career, I spent a lot of time sitting in on school board meetings in Goldsboro and Fayetteville.

For many members, the school board represented a first dip in politics.

Often, they came to the job full of vim and vigor, certain they were going to change the world. ...

Inevitably, though, all that can-do energy would run headlong into political reality. New school board members would eventually realize that school operations were complicated, that a lot of their sure-fire answers might not work so smoothly because of those complications.

They’d also come to recognize that those devils in the other boards chairs, those folks that they had railed against a few months earlier, weren’t cardboard cutouts. They were real people. Some of them actually cared about children too, no matter how much they might disagree with a newcomer’s position.

More importantly, it ultimately dawned on the newcomers that their views, no matter how passionately held, might not be enough to make anything happen. Sometimes, a majority didn’t agree with them, and for good reason.

They’re constituents didn’t agree either.

It turns out that the wider world, and the wider community, is a bit more diverse than someone’s circle of friends.

In a representative democracy, that matters.

Walking around the Tea Party protest at the State Capitol on Tax Day, many of the protesters had the look of those ideological warriors taking their school board seats for the first time, certain that a revolution was about to unfold. ...

The anger and passion are real. That passion may help push voter turnout this fall, and given the overall bent of the movement, Republicans should benefit.

The larger question is whether a movement without a strong, unifying ideology can sustain itself beyond one election cycle.

One account of the 20 Tea Party rallies across North Carolina read, “The events brought together people backing spending restraint, lower taxes, transparency in government, and enhanced accountability from public officials.”

Really? That assessment of ideology might cover about 5 percent of the signs being waved around the Capitol grounds the other day.

In Greensboro, one rally organizer spoke of the people involved as being the “glue” of the movement.

That kind of glue has a tendency not to stick after a while. Unifying ideals — and something beyond words that could be ripped from the last 10 Republican Party platforms — sustain any political movement.

People, on the other hand, stumble and fall. They get tired. They change their minds.

Even armed with unifying ideals, the ones who stop rock throwing in favor of real political activism and action discover that, cliché or not, politics is the art of compromise.

Who do you believe?

Where are Statesmen?

To the Editor: Where have all the Statesmen gone? Before I continue this letter, I will give you my answer — Gone to politicians —every one. After you read this letter, tell me if I am wrong.

Fellow readers, citizens, etc...

We, as Americans, are living in the most trying times I can ever remember in my entire lifetime.

My memory only reaches back to the very late 1940s-early ’50s.

Then, however, I believe our country may have had some Statesmen still around. Today, I don’t think any exist in Washington, D.C., Raleigh, N.C., or Lee County, N.C. and probably in many other states.

In my mind, most of our elected officials are simply on an ego trip, probably taking lobbyists’ money (i.e. bribes) and playing King or Queen with our tax dollars and lives. I don’t consider this to be indicative of the Republic this country was founded to be. The Feudal Era is history. I don’t believe in “Lords of the Castle” and certainly don’t consider myself to be a “Serf.”

In conclusion, do yourself and me a favor. Make time to stand “eye-to-eye” with one of your elected officials or a candidate seeking office and ask him / her a simple question which can be answered by a simple “Yes or No” and see what you receive. I have many times. Will you please do the same?

Bryan has been with the college since 1992, serving as a physical education and humanities instructor and now

the quality teachers LCS employs.

But Gurwitch said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concerned because her daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second grade class at B.T. Bullock Elementary School does not have a teacher assistant.

Teacher assistants add a lot to the classroom, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even a child who is intelligent, if they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have adequate staffing at the instructional level, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to struggle,â&#x20AC;? she said.

The high school graduation rate also has been one of Gurwitchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rallying points. She wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t accept the 70.3 percent rate and hopes to see the district work toward 100 percent graduation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe that when weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re failing 30 percent of our students, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re failing in that obligation,â&#x20AC;? Gurwitch said.

Other communities are working toward it and she hopes LCS can learn from

Charge Continued from Page 1A

Shorb had been stabbed 11 times in the arms, neck and head, police said. She was found April 26, 2008, in the shower of the home she lived in with her boyfriend Rivera and their 5-monthold daughter.

Police initially charged Rivera with first-degree murder in the case, indicating that the crime was pre-meditated. A seconddegree charge indicates intent to murder but not the same level of premeditation.

Smith said the office of Lee County District Attorney Susan Doyle presented the case before a grand jury and returned with a second-degree indictment.

Doyleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office declined to comment Tuesday.

Smith said Rivera has been in jail since his arrest. At the time of the murder, Rivera was a teenage employee at Caterpillar in Sanford and had attended Southern Lee High School at one time.

them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is nothing wrong with taking the best from what other people are doing and apply that here,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Of course we all want a 100 percent graduation rate, but what are we all doing to achieve it?â&#x20AC;?

Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heard from many parents who believe that the board doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t consider their opinions. The use of

two Saturdays as make-up days was one situation where that came to a head for many parents, she said.

She wants to see more discussion at board meetings, not just committee meetings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Board members should be able to say why they vote on certain issues,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Gurwitch has stressed

that she plans to do her own independent research for each matter the board votes on, so that anyone could ask her for clarification on the way she voted on an issue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a very passionate person,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I commit fully to whatever it is Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to do.â&#x20AC;?

She wants to make sure everyone has input when

it comes to the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s issues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Students, teachers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they still are impacted by every decision thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s made. They ought to have their voice heard,â&#x20AC;? she said.

She said she, Kimberly Lilley and Mark Akinosho are â&#x20AC;&#x153;three like-minded parents who all recognize a need for change in Lee

County Schools.â&#x20AC;? Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve grouped their campaign signs together throughout the county. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hear what people are saying. We need change. We want to have change. We support each other because of that,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For just one of us to be elected to the school board would hardly make any difference.â&#x20AC;?

Crumpton said the county doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have an official policy on nonprofits, but he said commissioners have had an â&#x20AC;&#x153;unspoken policyâ&#x20AC;? in the past that they would listen to nonprofits they believed to be in line

with county goals.

The beleaguered local club was devastated this year by harsh cuts in grant funding, including all of its funding from the federal Office of Justice Programs.

Federal grants have accounted for roughly half of the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $600,000 to $800,000 annual budgets in the last decade, Hedrick said.

Hedrick said he pursued help at the county and city level because of the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main goals to prevent school drop-outs, teen pregnancy and juvenile crime. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On all those fronts, it supplements local government agencies who are working on the same issues,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Still, Hedrick said he

wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t surprised by Sanford officialsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lukewarm response at Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a lot of nonprofits who also need help right now,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you help one, you have to help them all.â&#x20AC;?

One bright spot in the clubsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; otherwise bleak year has been next weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual fundraising golf

tournament.

The tourney, scheduled for Tuesday at the Tobacco Road Golf Club in Sanford, is expected to raise close to its typical draw of about $50,000 for the organization.

Organizers worried earlier this year that the blighted economy would dampen fundraising efforts.

Sanford City Councilman Samuel Gaskins has pointed out the city has contributed to prior nonprofit campaigns, including Sanfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Temple Theatre and Railroad House, the Lee County Arts Council and industry recruiter Lee County Economic Development Corporation, or LCEDC. Lee County Commissioner Doc Oldham said the county has yet to consider the Boys and Girls Clubsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; request, although he said the board has also given funding in the past to the Temple Theatre, in addition to annual funding for the LCEDC. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the constraints weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for in our budget and the way the money situation is, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something we have to talk about,â&#x20AC;?

Oldham said Wednesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know where weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d find the funds.â&#x20AC;?

Due to the cuts, the Boys and Girls Clubs will close June 10 and reopen for its summer program June 17. It will also be closed July 5 and for the last five business days before Lee County students return to school, a date that has not been set yet. n Spots are still open for an 8 a.m. tee time Tuesday at the 9th Annual Boys and Girls Clubs Tournament at Tobacco Road Golf Course in Sanford. Slots for a 2 p.m. tee time are filled. The annual tournament is a fundraiser for the organization. An individual spot in the tournament costs $250, and eight-person group passes can be bought for $1,500. To register, call club Executive Director Bo Hedrick at 919-776-3525.

Anyone who wants to make a donation to the group can mail it to: Boys and Girls Clubs of Sanford/ Lee County, P.O. Box 2027, Sanford, N.C., 27331.

STATE BRIEFS

Billy Graham gets glimpse of library

CHARLOTTE (AP) — Evangelist Billy Graham returned to the North Carolina library that bears his name to celebrate its reopening after it was closed for months for upgrades and additions.

Multiple media outlets reported that Graham’s appearance Tuesday night was his first public appearance in Charlotte since May 2007, when three former presidents — Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and George H.W. Bush — joined him in dedicating the Billy Graham Library.

At the dinner Tuesday night, Graham thanked everyone, said a prayer and spoke about how memories of his Charlotte childhood are still with him: “I still dream about milking

cows,” he said to laughter from the crowd. “The other night I woke up and I was milking cows!”

The library, which has attracted about 288,000 visitors, traces Graham’s journey from son of a dairy farmer in Charlotte to a preacher to presidents and millions around the world.

The library has been closed since January for upgrades and additions. It was scheduled to reopen to the public Wednesday.

The 91-year-old Graham, whose hearing and eyesight are failing, got a private tour Monday night of the renovated library, then attended the dinner Tuesday night at the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association next door.

Those with him Mon-

day night said he liked the changes, which included improving the sound, displaying many of the 12,000 books in Graham’s personal library and showcasing his first desk and Dictaphone machine.

They said they left him alone as he lingered in “Ruth’s Room,” a section devoted to his late wife, and then sat by her grave.

Whatever he said in those private moments, son Franklin reported Tuesday, “is between the Lord and my mama. Daddy misses her very much.”

After he left the graveside, Graham told his longtime assistant, David Bruce, that’s he’s pleased that the library was being used as a continuation of his ministry rather than just a memorial to him.

“He said he left with the feeling that the Gospel permeates the library,” Bruce said. “That was his wish: that it be a testimony to all that he preached about.”

At the dinner, Graham got a kiss from his younger sister, Jean Ford of Charlotte, and the two held hands during the before-meal prayer.

Graham was determined to make the dinner and “share a few words from his heart,” Bruce said.

“I think he’s doing very well,” Bruce said. “He does deal with the challenges of advanced age. But he’s sharp of mind and heart.”

Graham’s last crusade was in 2005 in New York.

Since his wife’s death nearly three years ago, he has spent most of his time at his home in Montreat.

NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER

N.C. lawmaker joins others in defending event

WASHINGTON (AP) — About two dozen members of Congress on Wednesday condemned a federal judge’s ruling that the National Day of Prayer is unconstitutional, saying prayer has long been part of the country’s history.

“The American people believe in prayer. The American people believe that prayer changes things,” said Rep. Mike Pence, R-Ind., as he urged the Obama administration use “all means at its disposal” to challenge the decision.

Several of the lawmakers also called on the Justice Department to

appeal the ruling.

The government has yet to make a determination as to what its next step will be, said Charles Miller, a Justice Department spokesman.

The ruling is still being reviewed.

A federal judge in Wisconsin ruled last week that the National Day of Prayer is unconstitutional because it amounts to a call for religious action.

The judge did not bar any observances until all appeals are exhausted.

Congress established the day in 1952 and in 1988 set the first Thursday in May as the day for presidents to issue

proclamations asking Americans to pray.

Matt Lehrich, a spokesman for President Barack Obama, said Wednesday the president still plans to issue a proclamation for the upcoming prayer day.

The Freedom From Religion Foundation, a Madison, Wis.-based group of atheists and agnostics, filed a lawsuit against the federal government in 2008 arguing the day violated the separation of church and state. The Obama administration has countered that the statute simply acknowledges the role of religion in the United States.

In her ruling, U.S. District Judge Barbara Crabb wrote that the government can no more enact laws supporting a day of prayer than it can encourage citizens to fast during Ramadan, attend a synagogue or practice magic.

Rep. Mike McIntyre, D-N.C., said the National Day of Prayer proclamation doesn’t force anyone to pray.

“It’s an opportunity for us to do what we’ve done historically, what our historic underpinnings are and understanding the precedent that has been set,” said McIntyre, cochairman of the Congressional Prayer Caucus.

N.C. begins criminal analysis by outsiders RALEIGH (AP) — Democratic and Republican leaders in North Carolina state government agree keeping the public safe doesn’t necessarily require locking up more convicts and building more prisons.

Gov. Beverly Perdue and lawmakers from both parties announced Wednesday the state will participate in a comprehensive effort to crunch prison data to determine how to lower recidivism rates and manage the offender population better.

The initiative is called Justice Reinvestment and will last one to three years.

The Council of State Governments and other groups will provide policy options to elected leaders.

Perdue says it’s a great opportunity to find innovative ways to keep the public safe while using tax dollars more wisely. House Republican Leader Paul Stam says incarceration isn’t the only solution to dealing with crime.

Cunningham leads Democrat’s Senate cash race RALEIGH (AP) — Cal Cunningham’s campaign is enjoying a money advantage over two other leading candidates entering the home stretch for the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate in North Carolina.

The Lexington attorney’s campaign said Wednesday it had $478,000 on hand as of March 31 and raised almost $345,000 in the first quarter. Cunningham is running ads on television.

Federal election reports

show Secretary of State Elaine Marshall with $181,000 on hand while raising $162,500 during the first quarter. Chapel Hill attorney Ken Lewis had more than $94,000 in cash after raising $108,500. Three other Democratic candidates also are running in the May 4 primary.

Republican incumbent Richard Burr had $5.3 million to spend for his re-election bid at the end of March.

Judge: Former Blackwater head can remain free RALEIGH (AP) — A federal judge is allowing the former president of Blackwater Worldwide and four of his past colleagues at the North Carolina security firm to go free as they await trial on weapons charges.

U.S. Magistrate Judge James Gates on Wednesday denied the government’s request to set a bond for the suspects, including a proposed $250,000 bond for former Blackwater President Gary Jackson. Gates did order all five defendants to turn over their passports and refrain from possessing guns.

Prosecutors accuse Jackson on of flouting federal regulations with “arrogance.” An attorney for Jackson says government officials previously knew of many of the activities discussed in the indictment, which was handed up last week.

The 52-year-old Jackson left the Moyock-based company now known as Xe last year in a management shake-up.

GOVERNMENT TO CHANGE $100 BILL

NATION BRIEFS

C-notes get a high-tech makeover

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The folks who print Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s money have designed a high-tech makeover of the $100 bill.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of an effort to stay ahead of counterfeiters as technology becomes more sophisticated and more dollars flow overseas, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke says.

The makeover, unveiled Wednesday by Bernanke and Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, may leave people wondering if thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s magic involved.

Benjamin Franklin is still on the C-note. But he has been joined by a disappearing Liberty Bell in an inkwell and a bright blue security ribbon composed of thousands of tiny lenses that magnify objects in mysterious ways. Move the bill, and the objects move in a different direction.

The new currency will not go into circulation until Feb. 10 of next year.

That will give the government time to educate the public in the United States and around the world about the changes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We estimate that as many as two-thirds of all $100 notes circulate outside the United States,â&#x20AC;? said Bernanke, who stressed that the 6.5 billion in $100 bills now in circulation will remain legal tender.

The $100 bill, the highest value denomination in general circulation, is

New design of the $100 bill is unveiled by Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, Treasurer of the U.S. Rosie Rios, and U.S. Secret Service Deputy Director Keith Prewitt, at the Treasury Department in Washington Wednesday. the last bill to undergo an extensive redesign. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing began the process in 2003, adding splashes of color to spruce up first the $20 and then the $50, $10 and $5 bills. The $1 bill isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t getting a makeover.

The changes are aimed at thwarting counterfeiters who are armed with ever-more sophisticated computers, scanners and color copiers.

The $100 bill is the most frequent target of counterfeiters operating outside of the United States while the $20 bill is the favorite target of counterfeiters inside the country.

The redesigned $100 bill had originally been expected to go into circulation in late 2008 but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s introduction was delayed to give the government

time to refine all the new security features.

The government has prepared education resources in 25 languages to inform the public about the design changes and is giving people a chance to view the new bills on its website. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted the changes to be very obvious, visible and easy to see,â&#x20AC;? Larry Felix, director of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, said in an interview with The Associated Press.

The new blue security ribbon will give a 3-D effect to the micro-images that the thousands of lenses will be magnifying.

Tilt the note back and forth and you will see tiny bells on the ribbon change to 100s as they move.

But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not all. Tilt the note back and forth and the images will move

side to side. Tilt the note side to side and the images will move up and down.

In addition, to the right of Franklinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s portrait will be an inkwell that will change color from copper to green when the note is tilted. The movement will also make a Liberty Bell appear and disappear inside the inkwell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As with previous U.S. currency redesigns, this note incorporates the best technology available to ensure weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re staying ahead of counterfeiters,â&#x20AC;? Geithner said.

Franklin will remain on the front of the $100 bill and Independence Hall in Philadelphia will remain on the back of the currency although both have been modified in ways aimed at making it harder to produce counterfeit copies of the bills.

invitation â&#x20AC;&#x153;is on the table,â&#x20AC;? but no decision has been made. He said Army brass will have the ultimate decision on whether to pull the invite.

The Military Religious Freedom Foundation raised the objection to the appearance, citing Grahamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s past remarks about Islam.

Mikey Weinstein, president of the foundation, said the invitation offended Muslim employees at the Pentagon.

He said it would endanger American troops by stirring up Muslim extremists.

FBI conducting own investigation in Massa case WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The FBI is investigating the case of former Rep. Eric Massa, accused by his onetime male staff members of sexual harassment.

The lawyer for a former Massa staff member said Wednesday she was contacted by the FBI. Attorney Debra Katz said she was requested to preserve all documents that her client had in his possession involving the New York Democrat.

Katz told The Associated Press that she believes the FBI is interested in a $40,000 check from Massaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign to his former chief of staff, Joe Racalto.

Poll: Americans say US cars top Asian autos WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love affair with the automobile has a new spark â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a renewed affection for U.S.-made cars after a long dalliance with foreign automakers.

Slightly more Americans now say the United States makes better-quality vehicles than Asia does, with 38 percent saying U.S. cars are best and 33 percent naming autos made by Asian countries, according to an Associated Press-GfK Poll.

The survey suggests those numbers are largely fueled by a plunge in Toyotaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reputation and an upsurge in Fordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. The poll was conducted in March, as Toyota was being roiled by nightmarish publicity over its recall of more than 8 million vehicles around the globe and allegations that it responded sluggishly to safety concerns.

Army considers rescinding Graham invitation DENVER (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Army is considering whether to rescind an invitation to evangelist Franklin Graham to appear at the Pentagon amid complaints about his description of Islam as evil, a military spokesman said Wednesday.

Graham, the son of famed evangelist Billy Graham, was to appear at the Pentagon on May 6 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the National Day of Prayer.

He said he will be a guest of the Pentagon and would speak only if heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still invited.

Obama seeks womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rights backer

By BEN FELLER Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; President Barack Obama, treading carefully in the explosive arena of abortion and the Supreme Court, said Wednesday he will choose a nominee who pays heed to the rights of women and the privacy of their bodies. Yet he said he wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enforce any abortion rights â&#x20AC;&#x153;litmus tests.â&#x20AC;?

Obama said it is â&#x20AC;&#x153;very important to meâ&#x20AC;? that his court choice take womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rights into account in interpreting the Constitution, his most expansive comments yet about how a womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right to choose will factor into his decision.

He plans to choose someone to succeed Justice John Paul Stevens within â&#x20AC;&#x153;the next couple weeks,â&#x20AC;? he told CNBC. Obama accelerated his political outreach and his conversations with candidates, positioning himself for one of the most consequential decisions of his presidency.

He invited Senate leaders â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Republicans as well as Democrats â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to discuss the issue at the White House and commented briefly to reporters before their private meeting.

His rejection of the idea of â&#x20AC;&#x153;litmus testsâ&#x20AC;? was standard presidential language, keeping him from being boxed in and protecting his eventual nominee from charges of bringing preconceived decisions to the bench.

Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pick is not expected to change the ideological balance on the court, though Stevens, the

President Barack Obama, right, and Vice President Joe Biden and bipartisan Senate leaders discuss the Supreme Court vacancy left by the retirement of Justice Stevens in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington Wednesday. leader of the courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s liberals, has played a major role in the courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s upholding of abortion rights.

Stevens, who turned 90 on Tuesday, is retiring this summer.

Whoever Obama picks has the potential to affect the lives and rights of Americans for a generation or more.

The president is considering about 10 people, including a newly confirmed name, federal appeals court Judge Ann Williams of Chicago.

Among the others are appeals court judges Diane Wood, Merrick Garland and Sidney Thomas, former Georgia Chief Justice Leah Ward Sears, Solicitor General Elena Kagan, Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and Harvard Law School Dean Martha Minow.

When asked if he could nominate someone who did not support a womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right to choose, Obama said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am some-

body who believes that women should have the ability to make often very difficult decisions about their own bodies and issues of reproduction.â&#x20AC;?

He said he would not judge candidates on a single-issue abortion test. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I will say that I want somebody who is going to be interpreting our Constitution in a way that takes into account individual rights, and that includes womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rights,â&#x20AC;?

Obama said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be something thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very important to me, because I think part of what our core constitutional values promote is the notion that individuals are protected in their privacy and their bodily integrity. And women are not exempt from that.â&#x20AC;?

Such a detailed answer raised the question of whether Obama had, in fact, spelled out a fundamental test over abortion.

The White House rejected that. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think a litmus test is when you say, will you ask

a direct question about â&#x20AC;&#x201D; do you believe this? Do you believe that?â&#x20AC;? White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the president will ask any nominee discuss how they view the Constitution and the legal principles enshrined in it.â&#x20AC;?

The Supreme Court declared in 1973 through its Roe v. Wade decision that a woman has a constitutional right to an abortion, and close questioning on the issue has been a feature of Senate confirmation hearings for some time. Federal courts have battled with the ramifications of the landmark decision, although the core ruling has gone untouched.

Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s language largely meshed with what he said during the presidential campaign.

In a Democratic primary debate in November 2007, he was asked whether he would insist that a Supreme Court nominee support abortion rights.

He said then: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would not appoint somebody who doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe in the right to privacy.â&#x20AC;?

Meanwhile, Obama sought a cooperative tone with his Republican critics even as the White House braces for a confirmation fight.

In the Oval Office, Obama hosted Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada, Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy of Vermont and Jeff Sessions of Alabama, the ranking Republican on the committee. He later telephoned nine more senators on that panel.

HEALTH & REHABILITATION

Obama suggests value-added tax may be an option WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; President Barack Obama suggested Wednesday that a new value-added tax on Americans is still on the table, seeming to show more openness to the idea than his aides have expressed in recent days.

Before deciding what revenue options are best for dealing with the deficit and the economy, Obama said in an interview with CNBC, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to get a better picture of what our options are.â&#x20AC;?

After Obama adviser Paul Volcker recently raised the prospect of a value-added tax, or VAT, the Senate voted 85-13 last week for a nonbinding â&#x20AC;&#x153;sense of the Senateâ&#x20AC;? resolution that calls the such a tax â&#x20AC;&#x153;a massive tax increase that will cripple families on fixed income and only further push back Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economic recovery.â&#x20AC;?

For days, White House spokesmen have said the president has not proposed and is not considering a VAT. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think I directly answered this the other day by saying that it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t something that the president had under consideration,â&#x20AC;? White House press secretary Robert Gibbs told reporters shortly before Obama spoke with CNBC.

Oil rig explodes off Louisiana coast; 11 missing NEW ORLEANS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; An explosion rocked an offshore oil drilling platform, sending a column of fire into the sky and touching off a frantic search at sea Wednesday for 11 missing workers.

Most of the 126 workers on the rig Deepwater Horizon escaped safely after the explosion about 10 p.m. Tuesday, the Coast Guard said. Three were critically injured.

The rig, more than 50 miles southeast of Venice on Louisianaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tip, was still burning Wednesday afternoon. It was tilting about 10 degrees. There was no estimate of when the flames might be out.

Helicopters and boats searched the Gulf of Mexico for any sign of the workers who had not been accounted for.

Police seek couple who left Fla. boy at NYC church NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Authorities say a family caravanning with a woman and her toddler in Florida took the 3-year-old to New York after the boyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother was arrested on fraud charges, abandoning him at St. Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cathedral with a note stuffed into his hand bearing the name of a detective working the case.

Eleanor Black, 29, was identified through surveillance footage at the cathedral, police said Wednesday. She and William Scott, 32, were believed to have been the last two people with Nathaniel Fons, and they were also suspected of being involved in the counterfeiting operation in Florida where his mother was charged.

Police said Black came to the famed cathedral on Manhattanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fifth Avenue at about 6:30 p.m. Tuesday.

She asked at the information desk to see a priest and was told to go around the corner and someone would come down, police said.

She walked out of the building, and a few moments later, Nathaniel walked back in, alone, clutching the note that also had his birthday and his motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name, according to the security guard who found him. At first he thought the boy was a lost child, but he then saw the note and immediately called police.

Nathaniel was in the custody of child services officials in New York.

Clarkson sparks smoking debate

By MARGIE MASON AP Medical Writer

BOGOR, Indonesia â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Just a few miles after passing a towering Marlboro Man ad, a second billboard off the highway promotes cigarettes with a new American face: Kelly Clarkson.

The former American Idol winner invites fans to buy tickets to her upcoming concert in Jakarta, the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capital. The logo of her sponsor is splashed in huge type above her head â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the popular Indonesian cigarette brand L.A. Lights.

Similar ads also run on TV. Such in-your-face tobacco advertising has been banned for years in the U.S. and many other countries. But in Indonesia, the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fourth most populous nation, tobacco companies have virtual free rein to peddle their products, from movies to sports sponsorships and television shows. The country remains one of the last holdouts that has not signed the World Health Organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tobacco treaty.

As smoking has declined in many Western countries, it has risen in Indonesia â&#x20AC;&#x201D; about 63 percent of all men light up and one-third of the overall population smokes, an increase of 26 percent since 1995. Smoking-related ill-

They have made the mistake of letting the Marlboro Man into the country.â&#x20AC;?

In recent months, antitobacco forces have rallied.

A new health law has declared smoking addictive and urged the government to hammer out tobacco regulations. An anti-smoking coalition is pushing for tighter restrictions on smoking in public places, advertising bans and big-

ger health warnings on cigarette packages.

Public debate also exploded last month after Indonesiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second-largest Islamic organization, Muhammadiyah, issued a fatwa banning smoking.

Though not legally binding, the religious ruling does put pressure on smokers in the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most populous Muslim nation.

Anti-smoking advocates now hope Clarkson will drop the sponsorship of Indonesiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third-largest tobacco company, Djarum. A growing number of voices have started pleading with the Grammy-winning pop star on her Facebook page.

Two years ago, a tobacco affiliate of U.S.-based Philip Morris International, which dominates Indonesiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tobacco market,

removed its logo from ads promoting an Alicia Keys concert in Jakarta after the singer publicly denounced the sponsorship and apologized to her fans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If Kelly Clarkson goes ahead with the concert, she is by choice being a spokesman for the tobacco industry and helping them to market to children,â&#x20AC;? said Matt Myers, president of the U.S.-based Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, which has urged Clarkson to drop the sponsorship. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She has the power now to turn this situation around and to send a clear message to Indonesian young people and, frankly, to the young people of the world.â&#x20AC;?

The Associated Press left messages and emailed representatives at Clarksonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s management company, Starstruck Entertainment in Nashville, as well as representatives at her record label, RCA Records in New York. Neither responded to repeated requests for comment.

About a quarter of Indonesian boys aged 13 to 15 are already hooked on cigarettes that sell for about $1 a pack or as little as a few cents apiece, according to WHO. A video on YouTube last month prompted outrage when a 4-year-old Indonesian boy was shown blowing smoke rings and flicking a cigarette.

Locklear cited for hit & run in 4 a.m. crash LOS ANGELES (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Heather Locklear has a court date next month on misdemeanor hit-and-run charges after an earlymorning crash knocked down a street sign.

Locklear Ventura County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Captain Eric Dowd says Locklear was cited and released Saturday after a resident reported hearing a crash around 4 a.m. An investigation led police to Locklear, whom they believe was behind the wheel at the time of the crash.

Blair Berk, an attorney for the 48-year-old actress, confirmed Locklear was cited as the carâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s registered owner but said â&#x20AC;&#x153;it is not yet clear who was driving the vehicle.â&#x20AC;?

The matter will be heard May 17 at Simi Valley Court, Dowd said.

Locklear was arrested in 2008 for driving under the influence of prescription drugs. She pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of reckless driving in January 2009.

Entertaining feud between Goldberg and Stewart NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s getting rough between Jon Stewart and Fox News Channel commentator Bernard Goldberg.

Goldberg told Stewart to â&#x20AC;&#x153;find some guts.â&#x20AC;?

In response, Stewart brought a gospel choir Stewart to â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Daily Showâ&#x20AC;? on Tuesday to curse him out.

Last week, Stewartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Goldberg show did a segment about how Fox News commentators criticized Tea Party opponents for judging the movement based on the bad actions of a few. Stewart played tape of Fox personalities, including Goldberg, making generalizations about liberals.

Goldberg pleaded guilty.

He said Stewart thinks heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s edgy, but is Jay Leno with a smaller audience who gets to swear.

Responded Stewart: â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m Leno with an f-bomb, you know less about comedy than you do about politics.â&#x20AC;?

AMSTERDAM (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Airlines toted up losses topping $2 billion and struggled to get hundreds of thousands of travelers back home Wednesday after a week of crippled air travel, as questions and recriminations erupted over Europeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chaotic response to the volcanic ash cloud.

Civil aviation authorities defended their decisions to ground fleets and close the skies â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and later to reopen them â&#x20AC;&#x201D; against heated charges by airline chiefs that the decisions were based on flawed data or unsubstantiated fears.

The aviation crisis sparked by a volcanic eruption in Iceland left millions in flightless limbo, created debilitating losses for airlines and other industries and even threatened Europeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economic recovery. An aviation group called the financial fallout worse than the three-day worldwide shutdown after the 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States.

It was a lesson in mankindâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dependency on air travel, the vulnerability of a vital industry, and the confusion that can ensue

Now the Buddhist monks who responded first are being pushed out of the disaster area and off of state media â&#x20AC;&#x201D; apparently sidelined by Beijingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unease with their heroism and influence.

Monasteries were given verbal orders the last two days to recall their monks.

U.S. players in saga mum or moving on MIAMI (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; When federal agents stormed a home in the Little Havana community, snatched Elian Gonzalez from his fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relatives and put him on a path back to his father in Cuba, thousands of Cuban-Americans took to Miamiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s streets. Their anger helped give George W. Bush the White House months later and simmered long after that.

Ten years later, the Little Havana home â&#x20AC;&#x201D; for weeks the epicenter of a standoff that divided the U.S. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is a museum dedicated to Elianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brief time in this country, but visitors are rare. Almost no one involved in the international custody case wants to talk about Elian, who is now a teenager back in Cuba.

Even most CubanAmericans have moved on. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a very sour taste left in their mouths,â&#x20AC;? said Andy Gomez, a senior fellow at the University of Miamiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Institute for Cuban and Cuban-American Studies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But, realistically, it was a battle to be lost.â&#x20AC;?

Elian was just shy of his sixth birthday when a fisherman found him floating

to return him to Cuba.

Janet Reno, President Bill Clintonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attorney general and a Miami native, insisted the boy belonged with his father.

When talks broke down, she ordered the raid carried out April 22, 2000, the day before Easter. Her then-deputy, current U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, has said she wept after giving the order.

Associated Press photographer Alan Diaz captured Donato Dalrymple, the fisherman who had found the boy, backing into a bedroom closet with

a terrified Elian in his arms as an immigration agent in tactical gear inches away aimed his gun toward them. The image won the Pulitzer Prize and brought criticism of the Justice Department to a frenzy.

No one answered the APâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s repeated calls to a number listed for Dalrymple in the Miami area, and there was no response to interview requests sent through intermediaries.

Lazaro Gonzalez declined to comment, as did his daughter, Marisleysis, who became Elianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surrogate mother during his U.S. stay. The Justice Department has never released the identity of the agent and did not immediately respond to an AP request this week for the agentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name.

Clinton, who was in Miami last weekend, said he would still make the same decision because it conformed with international child custody law. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I did everything I could to try to have this resolved in a peaceful way,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Believe me, I hated what happened because I thought we would be able to do it in a different way.â&#x20AC;?

JERRY WEST CONGRATULATES DUKE RALEIGH (AP) — Mike Krzyzewski and his Duke team have been congratulated for their latest national title by an unexpected person: Jerry West.

The impromptu meeting of Hall of Famers took place at the Executive Mansion, where Gov. Beverly Perdue welcomed the team and declared Wednesday “Duke Blue Devils Day” in honor of their fourth championship.

Then the governor sprung a surprise on Krzyzewski.

West already was in town to speak to state lawmakers and raise awareness for atrial fibrillation, and made a last-minute schedule change to meet the team. He was whisked in a side door and sneaked into the reception area to meet a visibly stunned Krzyzewski, who greeted him by saying “Holy mackerel!”

Duke beat West Virginia — West’s alma mater — in the Final Four.

GOLF TIGER WOODS ENTERS TWO MORE TOURNEYS

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Tiger Woods added two more tournaments Wednesday to a schedule that is not much different from previous years except for the timing.

Woods entered The Players Championship and the AT&T National, which benefits his foundation.

It was the second straight week that Woods made an early commitment to a PGA Tour event, allowing for more time to promote his appearance. For years, the world’s No. 1 player waited until the last few days before signing up.

Last week, Woods beat the deadline by eight days for entering the Quail Hollow Championship, which starts April 29. He signed up for The Players Championship, which starts May 6, nine days ahead of the deadline.

NCAA BIG TEN EXPANSION STUDY UNCHANGED

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany says the conference’s timetable for evaluating potential expansion is unchanged from the 12 to 18 months first laid out in December.

Delany took a break from his silent phase Wednesday to speak with reporters during BCS meetings in Arizona, but provided little insight about the possible growth of the Big Ten. With all of major college football’s conference commissioners gathered, there was speculation that some news could be coming from Delany and the Big Ten. Nope.

He says, “There are no announcements here. There are no notifications here.”

Cavs stumble, but still in hunt for postseason

By RYAN SARDA sarda@sanfordherald.com

SANFORD — This one hurt.

The Southern Lee girls’ soccer team, just two days after knocking off one of the top teams in the Cape Fear Valley Conference, suffered a 4-1 setback against Gray’s Creek on Wednesday night at Cavalier Stadium.

The only goal for the Lady Cavs (4-7-2, 4-4) came in the 58th minute when Teresa Monroy received a pass from Jasmine Sotelo, which evened the match at 1. The Bears

would go on to score three more goals in the final 22 minutes to take the victory.

“This one is especially frustrating,” said Southern Lee head coach Jason Burman. “We’ve got to have a short memory, though. Luckily, the loss didn’t kill us too badly in the conference standings. We have to come out ready to practice and focus on our next opponent.”

The Lady Cavaliers knocked off Western Harnett 2-1 on Monday night. At the time, the Lady Eagles were in a three-way tie for first place in the conference. Now, the

Lady Bears are tied with the Lady Eagles for second while Union Pines remains at the top of the conference standings.

The loss puts Southern Lee in fifth place, just a game behind fourth place Overhills. The Lady Cavs will travel to Spring Hope to battle Overhills at 7 p.m. Monday.

With a win, the Cavaliers can climb into the fourth spot. In order for Southern Lee to qualify for the upcoming 3-A State Tournament, the Lady Cavaliers must finish within the top four of the conference.

Capel takes over at App. St. BOONE (AP) — Appalachian State turned to a familiar coaching family on Wednesday, making Jason Capel the youngest men’s basketball coach in NCAA Division I. At 30 years, three months, CaCapel pel, who was born in 1980, is three months younger than Wisconsin-Green Bay coach Brian Wardle.

Capel replaces Buzz Peterson, who left for UNC Wilmington last week after his second stint with the Mountaineers lasted just one season. Capel was an assistant to Peterson last year

NEW YORK — Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was suspended for six games without pay Wednesday for violating the NFL’s personal conduct Roethlisberger policy and ordered to undergo behavioral evaluation.

Commissioner Roger Goodell handed down the punishment a week after prosecutors decided not to charge Roethlisberger in a case involving a 20-year-old college student who accused him of sexually assaulting her in a Georgia nightclub in March.

Goodell said the league’s conduct policy gave him the right to impose discipline regardless of whether he broke the law.

“I recognize that the allegations in Georgia were disputed and that they did not result in criminal charges being filed against you,” he said in his letter to the twotime Super Bowl winner, a six-year veteran.

“My decision today is not based on a finding that you violated Georgia law, or on a conclusion that differs from that of the local prosecutor.

That said, you are held to a higher standard as an NFL player, and there is nothing about your conduct in Milledgeville that can remotely be described as admirable, responsible, or consistent with either the values of the league or the expectations of our fans.”

Roethlisberger must undergo a “comprehensive behavioral evalua-

Magic cruise past Bobcats ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — The Dwight Howard-Vince Carter combo again wasn’t perfect — just good enough to win.

Carter finished with 19 points, Howard scored 15 and the Orlando Magic took a 2-0 series lead with a 92-77 victory over the Charlotte Bobcats on

Wednesday night.

The Magic’s star duo was less than stellar but took over when it counted most. They combined for 21 second-half points to help Orlando build a 20-point lead and hold on late.

Stephen Jackson showed no effects from his hyperex-

tended left knee to score 27 points, and Gerald Wallace had 15 points for the Bobcats. But their 21 turnovers are a big reason why they’re heading home searching for the franchise’s first playoff win.

Game 3 in the best-of-seven series is Saturday in Charlotte.

Players see sights, GMs ponder

NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Sam Bradford chucked footballs to Pop Warner players. Ndamukong Suh posed for dozens of cameras. Gerald McCoy surveyed the Central Park landscape.

While the top prospects enjoyed New York on Wednesday, general managers and personnel directors throughout the NFL pondered the most unique draft in years.

Not only is this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crop stocked with players such as Nebraska defensive tackle Suh, Oklahoma quarterback Bradford and Sooners teammate Gerald McCoy, but the three-day setup is new. The draft kicks off Thursday night in prime-time for the first time. The second and third rounds are Friday night, with the final four rounds on Saturday.

Bradford, Suh and McCoy figure to go 1-2-3 overall. No wonder they were all smiles during a variety of leaguestaged events. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important,â&#x20AC;? Suh said as he watched dozens of youth players scramble around a makeshift artificial turf field.

The real scramble begins at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, and the All-American considered the best defensive tackle coming out of college in more than a decade has no clue where he will land. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have no idea whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to happen,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had anyone tell me that they want to draft me. There could be a lot of trades.

There could be someone a team really wants.â&#x20AC;?

They pretty much all want Suh. And Bradford. And McCoy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope so,â&#x20AC;? McCoy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I walk into the room having no

2008 Heisman Trophy winner Bradford admitted.

Bradford is projected to go No. 1 to St. Louis, which released incumbent Marc Bulger and comes off a 1-15 season in which it managed all of 175 points. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope Sam goes one,â&#x20AC;? McCoy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a statement you can write down and pencil it in. I hope Sam goes one. Sam is my boy.â&#x20AC;?

And then McCoy can sack him when they meet in the pros? â&#x20AC;&#x153;After he gets picked, then Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m (going to) kill him. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how it goes.â&#x20AC;?

Oklahoma tackle Trent Williams,

another likely high pick, also believes Bradford is the wise choice for the Rams. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sam? You know, the question is what doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t he do well,â&#x20AC;? Williams said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m his teammate and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve really rarely seen a mistake out of Sam.â&#x20AC;?

Making a mistake in the first round of a draft can damage a franchise for years. This time, though, the collection of talent is so deep that many players ranked by some teams as opening-round quality could be on the board Friday. And with as many as 18 hours to analyze them even more closely, the second round just might be wild.

Where do you go when you

NFL BRIEFS Carrollâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s USC experience key to Seahawksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; draft RENTON, Wash. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Pete Carroll walked into Oklahomaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pro day recently to watch prized quarterback Sam Bradford and top tackle Trent Williams.

Carroll, in his new role as coach of the Seattle Seahawks, got swarmed with hugs and fist-bumps from the Sooners.

Same thing happened at Florida. At Texas. At Notre Dame.

This spring, more than for any draft in team history, the Seahawks have an ace card that trumps a scoutâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s secondhand assessment of a playerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s character and background.

Sure, Carroll has been out of the NFL for 11 years.

Yet this draft is one league event in which he has an edge over Bill Belichick, Jerry Jones, Bill Parcells and every other team builder.

Because of his time at USC, Carroll has firsthand knowledge of many of the players available in the draft.

Jaguars trade former 2nd-rounder Groves to Raiders JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Jacksonville Jaguars have traded defensive end Quentin Groves to the Oakland Raiders for an undis-

closed draft pick.

Settlement appears likely in lawsuit vs. Bush SAN DIEGO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Reggie Bush apparently has reached an out-of-court settlement with a fledgling sports marketer who is trying to recoup nearly $300,000 in cash and gifts the star running back and his family allegedly accepted while he was playing at the University of Southern California.

Depositions involving the two former marketers who wooed Bush while he was at USC have been called off, attorney Brian Watkins told The Associated Press on Wednesday.

Ex-NFL star arrested for alleged drunken driving LOS ANGELES (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Former NFL running back Corey Dillon was arrested Wednesday for investigation of driving under the influence in Southern California, deputies said.

Dillon, 35, driving a red, 2010 Chevrolet Camaro with paper license plates, was stopped shortly before 4 a.m. on Mulholland Drive near Malibu after two deputies noticed a car driving slowly behind them, sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lt. Richard Erickson said.

SPORTS BRIEFS to the Quiron Hospital in Barcelona on Sunday after experiencing heart trouble.

The hospital said he died at 1:25 p.m. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If there is a good way to die, I guess it was this way,â&#x20AC;?

Juan Antonio Samaranch Jr. told The Associated Press. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He had a full life and career.â&#x20AC;?

Thunderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brooks named NBA coach of the year

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Oklahoma City Thunder coach Scott Brooks has been named the NBAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coach of the year after engineering the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best turnaround.

The Thunder won 27 more games this season than they did a year ago, going 50-32 and earning the No. 8 seed in the Western Conference playoffs with the NBAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youngest roster.

The improvement came without a significant free agent signing. Instead, the team is primarily the same group of players as last season plus rookies James Harden, Serge Ibaka and Eric Maynor.

Brooks and the Thunder now face another daunting turnaround: an 0-2 deficit in their best-of-seven series against the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers.

Game 3 is Thursday night in Oklahoma City.

Wake Forest hires Pope as assistant coach WINSTON-SALEM (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; New Wake Forest coach Jeff Bzdelik (buzz-DELâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;-ick) has hired Mark Pope as an assistant coach.

Pope will join Jeff Battle and Rusty LaRue, who were retained from Dino Gaudioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s staff after Gaudio was fired earlier this month.

Pope had served as operations coordinator at Georgia since July.

He played at Washington and Kentucky before spending two seasons playing under Bzdelik in the NBA. He was in medical school at Columbia before joining Georgiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s staff.

Ex-IOC president Samaranch dies at 89

Piratesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Lebo names new assistant coaches

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Juan Antonio Samaranch, a reserved but shrewd dealmaker whose 21-year term as president of the International Olympic Committee was marked by both the unprecedented growth of the games and its biggest ethics scandal, died Wednesday at a hospital. He was 89.

Samaranch, a courtly former diplomat who served as Spanish ambassador in Moscow, led the IOC from 1980 to 2001. He was considered one of the defining presidents for building the IOC into a powerful global organization and firmly establishing the Olympics as a world force.

Samaranch was admitted

GREENVILLE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; New East Carolina coach Jeff Lebo has completed his staff of assistants.

Lebo has hired Tim Craft, Ken Potosnak and Kyle Robinson. Craft and Robinson will join retained coach Michael Perry as assistant coaches, while Robinson will serve as director of basketball operations.

Craft and Potosnak were members of Leboâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s staff at Auburn in recent seasons, while Robinson was a graduate assistant at Auburn under Lebo. He spent the past three years as director of basketball operations at College of Charleston.

Locks for the Chase already?

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Congratulations, Jimmie Johnson, Matt Kenseth and Greg Biffle.

History is on your side.

Sure there are 18 races and five months left before the Chase for the championship field is set, but the top three drivers in the points after the spring race at Texas have always made NASCARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s postseason since it was implemented in 2004. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be true this year,â&#x20AC;? Biffle said.

Take that Texas theory a little further, and there may be only three spots left in the championship Chase for drivers who arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t already in the top 12.

Over the past six years, 74.2 percent of the drivers (49 of 66) who left Texas in April positioned for a spot in the Chase made it into NASCARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s season-ending, 10-race playoff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Momentum has a lot to do with it,â&#x20AC;? said Biffle, who has finished outside the top 10 only once this season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just like you see a guy win a race or get a pole, the next week, for some reason, they run well or better. Being in the top 10 or top 12 after this race certainly means that, one, the odds are with you. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re above all the rest of the cars, so you obviously have to go down and they have to come up to pass you. ... It does provide an indication. â&#x20AC;&#x153; The rest of the top 12 after eight races are Kevin Harvick, Jeff Gordon, Kyle

CHARLOTTE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; NASCAR has penalized four teams that fall under the Michael Waltrip Racing banner for violations at Texas Motor Speedway.

NASCAR says the cars driven by David Reutimann, Martin Truex Jr., Max Papis and Marcos Ambrose all had illegal cars after qualifying at Texas. Reutimann and Truexâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cars are owned by MWR, while Ambrose and Papis drive for teams that are aligned with MWR. Crew chiefs Bootie Barker and Frank Kerr have both been fined $75,000 and placed on probation through Dec. 31.

Crew chiefs Rodney Childers and Pat Tryson have both been fined $25,000 and placed on probation through Dec. 31.

Car owners Robert Germain and Tad Geschickter have been docked 50 championship owner points each. Papis and Ambrose have each been docked 50 championship driver points each.

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL

Big Z moved to pen NEW YORK (AP) — Lou Piniella is tired of watching his relievers blow games for the Chicago Cubs, and, boy, is he ready to do something about it.

Piniella made a bold move Wednesday, inserting temperamental ace Carlos Zambrano into a shaky bullpen that threatened to derail Chicago’s season.

“You look at these box scores every day around baseball and these games, especially in the National League, they’re won in the sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth innings,” said Piniella, in his fourth season as the Cubs’ manager.

“There are few blowouts early. There’s some obviously but not (a lot).

“Look, this makes all

the sense in the world.”

Chicago’s bullpen was 1-6 with a 6.15 ERA and three saves in seven opportunities heading into Wednesday night’s game against the New York Mets. The Arizona Diamondbacks and Kansas City Royals were the only teams with a higher bullpen ERA. Piniella also has another starter ready to go with All-Star right-hander Ted Lilly expected to come off the disabled list this weekend, probably on Saturday at Milwaukee.

“I understand the situation,” Zambrano said. “I understand that we need a little, little help in the bullpen. Look, we already lost three or four games in the eighth inning or in relief.”

QB

said he interviewed Roethlisberger on April 13 and talked to current and former players and the players’ union. He also reviewed information from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and Milledgeville police and talked privately with Georgia district attorney Fred Bright. In addition, Goodell said he listened to recommendations from the quarterback’s representatives and took into account information learned by the

NFL office regarding the alleged assault.

“Your conduct raises sufficient concerns that I believe effective intervention now is the best step for your personal and professional welfare,” Goodell said in the letter. “In your six years in the NFL, you have first thrilled and now disappointed a great many people. I urge you to take full advantage of this opportunity to get your life and career back on track.”

His father, Jeff Jr., is an assistant with the NBA’s Charlotte Bobcats.

“Coach Capel’s wealth of life experiences have led to him developing many of the qualities that we were looking for in a head coach, including maturity, humility and a presence that impresses

anyone that comes in contact with him,” Cobb said. “I look forward to Coach Capel helping us achieve the championship aspirations that we have.”

Capel played at North Carolina and was a twotime all-Atlantic Coast Conference selection.

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Celebrate The Earth!

Earth Day Crossword

Every year on April 22 we celebrate Earth Day. Earth Day was created in 1970 by Gaylord Anton Nelson, a Find the words hidden in the puzzle below.

Wisconsin Senator. It was at this same time that he helped to form the Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA. His goal was to establish governmental protection of the environment and to spread awareness about how we should treat our planet. There are many ways that people celebrate Earth Day. You can help clean up your school or neighborhood by picking up trash. If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ok with your parents, ride your bike to school to help reduce the amount of air pollution created from cars. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just help the environment out on Earth Day; remember to help it out everyday of the year. The more you help the better place this world will be for everyone to live in!

Conservation is the act of carefully protecting the planet. We must responsibly use the resources on the earth in order to not destroy them or deplete them to extinction. There are many different types of conservation, including land conservation and water conservation, and all are meant to help protect these resources from being polluted. It is important to make sure that we have clean drinking water, pure land to grow healthy crops to eat, and that we prevent the air that we breathe from becoming poisons to inhale. Conservation is also about protecting the earthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s animals. An ecosystem is when a complex community of organisms and the environment that they live in make up an ecological unit. In other words, all living things on earth are important to make the planet a safe and healthy place to live. For example, humans and many animals require Hidden Words: oxygen to breath in order to live, and plants require carbon dioxide to live. Humans create carbon dioxide and plants create Air, Animals, Car Pool, Carbon Dioxide, Clean Up, oxygen, and in turn, we help create what each other needs in order to live. Not only are people, plants, and animals helping Conservation, Earth Day, Ecosystem, Environment, each other, all living things on the planet work together in ways like this to make the earth work. Conservation of this eco- EPA, Humans, Land, Nelson, Oxygen, Planet, system is important to maintain a habitable environment, so that the earth will be a clean place to live for millions of years.

Cleaning their plate could be hazardous to kids’ health

HOROSCOPES Universal Press Syndicate

Happy Birthday: Both personally and professionally, the sky is the limit this year. All you have to do is take advantage of each situation as it arises. Don’t let your emotions or your stubbornness stand in the way. Weigh the pros and cons of every situation to ensure you don’t miss out on interesting changes with the potential to parlay into much more. Your numbers are 2, 12, 18, 22, 29, 33, 39 ARIES (March 21-April 19): You deserve a break, so enjoy friends or do something that will enhance your body, mind or spirit.

A little pampering now will go a long way toward easing your stress. Network or get together with people who stimulate your mind.

5 stars TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You will have to watch what you spend. Someone close to you may be pushing you to be less frugal, so it’s vital you say no in a diplomatic but firm manner.

Suggest entertaining but inexpensive alternatives.

2 stars GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Do your own work in order to avoid criticism. A serious approach to your financial situation will help you avoid a costly mistake -not to mention an unnecessary purchase. 4 stars CANCER (June 21-July 22): Taking on too much will result in doing a poor job. Before you put a scar on your reputation, rethink your strategy. Love is in the stars and, with a little effort, you can enhance your relationship or be brought in contact with someone very special. 3 stars LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): It will be difficult not to take personally situations that develop. Problems with a colleague, peer, friend or relative will lead to emotional upset. Do not show your feelings or you will jeopardize your position. 3 stars VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22): The more you do to keep everyone on the same

WORD JUMBLE

page as you, the better your chance of completing your plans. A trip will pay off.

A love relationship can be magnified with a few simple gestures to confirm your feelings. 3 stars LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Tuck your money in a safe place. You will be tempted to spend on friends, entertainment or donating to a questionable cause.

Consider a venture that utilizes a skill or talent in order to bring in extra cash.

4 stars SCORPIO (Oct. 23Nov. 21): You are likely to take things the wrong way, especially when dealing with people at work. Jealousy will be the problem and must be avoided. Concentrate on what you need to get done and ignore what everyone around you is doing. 2 stars SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Greater involvement with different cultural beliefs, traditions or entertainment will entice you.

Someone you are close to may be threatened by your recent choices. Avoid being too forthcoming with your plans. 5 stars CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): Make changes at home that reflect your state of mind and your philosophy in life. You can stabilize your position with open and honest communication. Love is on the rise, so enhance your relationship by highlighting your common interests. 3 stars AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): If you don’t put in the effort, you won’t get the return. This applies to whatever you do or pursue. Be willing to go the distance and listen to experience and advice being offered.

Avoid a negative response.

3 stars PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Think big when it comes to your professional goals. There are opportunities but not if you are chasing an impossible dream.

Know your strengths and use what you’ve got to your advantage. An important partnership will take on a serious connotation. 3 stars

DEAR ABBY: “Milwaukee Grandma” (Feb. 16) was “appalled to see the number of adults who forced their children to eat” in restaurants. “Grandma” is absolutely right. Children will eat when hungry and stop when they have had enough. The old saying “Clean your plate” is contributing to the obesity epidemic. Children are born with the ability to selfregulate their food intake. Notice how many babies move their heads away from the bottle or breast when they are full.

Eating out is expensive, and restaurants tend to serve portions that are larger than necessary for a child’s small stomach. Instead of forcing the child to finish, parents should take half the dinner home for a later time.

The obesity epidemic is based on many factors, including excessive meal portions, decreased physical activity, abundance of junk food, and lack of available and affordable healthy foods in some areas of the country — to name a few.

Parents can make a difference by involving their children in the shopping for and preparation of meals, eating as a family with the TV shut off and making activity fun and a part of the everyday routine.

— DIETITIAN IN GARDNER, MASS. DEAR DIETITIAN: Thank you for enlightening me regarding the obe-

sity epidemic. A number of other readers weighed in on the topic with interesting insights. Read on: DEAR ABBY: I was raised by parents who forced me to “clean my plate or else.” They were the ones who fixed my plate or decided what to order us kids in restaurants. Eating became a negative experience as I was growing up.

It wasn’t until I got counseling prior to my gastric bypass surgery that I learned to stop eating when I was full instead of feeling guilty unless I cleaned my plate. In counseling, I was told it was OK to leave food on my plate — but by then I weighed 400 pounds.

It’s better to teach children to eat at mealtime, be responsible when it comes to snacking and “listen to your body” when it says, “I’m full.”

— HAPPY WITH MY WEIGHT NOW

DEAR ABBY: As a family and consumer sciences educator, one of the courses I teach in child development is “division of responsibility.” This means it’s the parents’ responsibility to offer nutritious food choices to their children, and the children’s responsibility to decide how much to eat.

By forcing children to “clean their plate,” we are overriding the natural programming they are born with that tells them when they are full and to stop eating.

When we teach children to eat past natural satiation, obesity is the natural consequence.

— LAURA IN MOSCOW, IDAHO DEAR ABBY: We have one child with severe food allergies and two others who have ADD and emotional issues. Their medications decrease their appetites, which makes it difficult for them to gain weight and grow. We may be the parents “Milwaukee Grandma” is referring to as we urge our children to eat more.

There are many children out there with medical challenges that make getting enough nutrients difficult. Other illnesses require some kids to consume a certain number of calories. For some, being in the “Clean Plate Club” is critical to their health and well-being.

Gar meat is edible, so they figured they’d try the roe.

They prepared the eggs that evening, with Darwin and Russell Aaron eating some, along with Darwin and Tiffany’s 10-year-old son, Carson.

Carson was the first to start vomiting at about 1:30 a.m. Russell and Darwin soon were sick, too.

Tiffany Aaron looked online and read that gar eggs are poisonous.

All three family members recovered after a few days.

The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission said eggs from all gar species are highly toxic.

Worker punched after confronting man about odor BELLINGHAM, Wash. (AP) — Police said a Cost Cutter store employee was punched in the mouth after he confronted a customer about his body odor.

Police spokesman Mark Young told The Bellingham Herald that police went to the store after a report of a fight and found employees holding down a man.

SUDOKU

MY ANSWER The newspaper said customers apparently complained while the man was in the store Sunday, and the employee decided to discuss it with him when he returned the next day.

Young said the store employee was not going to ask him to leave the store, but only approached him to share the complaints.

Young said the man snapped and threw a bunch of batteries and punched the worker, causing a minor injury.

Fake IRS agent ordered to pay hotel $55,000 NOVATO, Calif. (AP) — A woman accused of accruing thousands of dollars in bills at a Marin County hotel while pretending to be an IRS agent has been sentenced to five years probation and ordered to pay $55,000 to the hotel owners.

Chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker in San Francisco sentenced Sherry Lynn Vertoch on Tuesday.

Vertoch pleaded guilty in February to impersonating a federal officer.

Authorities said the woman, who is in her 60s, stopped paying her bills at the Inn Marin in Novato in 2008, telling one of the hotel’s owners she was a contract worker with the IRS and wouldn’t be paid until she finished an investigation for the agency.

She allegedly urged the owners to write a letter to the IRS when they periodically sought payment.

Prosecutors had recommended probation for Vertoch over prison time.

It’s clear: God created the universe Q: Where did the world come from? My junior high school science teacher says that it just happened, but my Sunday school teacher says God made it. They can’t both be right, can they? — M.N. A: No, they can’t both be right; you can’t say on one hand that the world happened by accident, but then say on the other hand that it was created by a deliberate act of God — not if you’re going to be logical.

But the Bible is clear: God created the universe. It didn’t just happen, nor was it an accident; it was created by a deliberate and purposeful act on the part of God. And God didn’t just form it out of a shapeless mass of material that somehow already existed; He created it from nothing. Think of it: God willed for the worlds to come into existence — and they did! God spoke — and it happened!

The Bible says, “By the word of the Lord were the heavens made, their starry host by the breath of his mouth” (Psalm 33:6). God is that great and that powerful!

The Bible doesn’t tell us, however, exactly how God brought about the universe as we know it today. Many devout scientists, for example, believe God may have taken billions of years to bring it to its present form. But never lose sight of the Bible’s central truth: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” (Genesis 1:1).

The greatest truth of all, however, is that God loves us, and He sent His Son into the world to save us. By faith put your life into Christ’s hands, because in Him alone “are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge” (Colossians 2:3).
