SANFORD — The Lee County Board of Commissioners agreed Thursday to increase funding for renovations at Lee County High School by more than $2.6 million.

With the increase, the county will now finance $23 million for the project, up from $19.98 million that the board had approved before bids were calculated.

As part of Thursday’s motion, which passed by 6-1 vote with Commissioner Linda Shook voting against,

the county stated its intent to use funds from the N.C. Education Lottery Fund allocated to Lee County for the next five years to make up any difference remaining should sales tax revenues not be sufficient to cover the annual payment.

SANFORD — Police have arrested three Sanford men in connection with an armed robbery Wednesday at the Sabor Latino restaurant on Rand Street.

Almanac Today is Friday, April 23, the 113th day of 2010. There are 252 days left in the year.

This day in history: On April 23, 1910, former President Theodore Roosevelt delivered his famous “Man in the Arena” speech at the Sorbonne in Paris. In it, Roosevelt declared, “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena.”

In 1616, English poet and dramatist William Shakespeare, 52, died on what has been traditionally regarded as the anniversary of his birth in 1564.

In 1789, President-elect George Washington moved into the first executive mansion, the Franklin House, in New York.

In 1896, the Vitascope system for projecting movies onto a screen was publicly demonstrated in New York City.

In 1940, about 200 people died in the Rhythm Night Club Fire in Natchez, Miss.

In 1954, Hank Aaron of the Milwaukee Braves hit the first of his record 755 majorleague home runs, in a game against the St. Louis Cardinals. (The Braves won, 7-5.)

In 1969, Sirhan Sirhan was sentenced to death for assassinating New York Sen. Robert F. Kennedy. (The sentence was later reduced to life imprisonment.)

In 1985, the Coca-Cola Co. announced it was changing the secret flavor formula for Coke (negative public reaction forced the company to resume selling the original version).

In 1998, James Earl Ray, who’d confessed to assassinating the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and then insisted he’d been framed, died at a Nashville hospital at age 70.

No through traffic for N.C. 87 construction PITTSBORO— The construction of a roundabout on N.C. 87 in Pittsboro near Central Carolina Community College (CCCC) is now underway.

The N.C. Department of Transportation (DOT) reiterates that “no through traffic will be allowed during the construction process,� said Marty Tillman from DOT. While the contractors must provide access to homes, businesses and public facilities located in the area, they will not provide an option for traffic to drive north-south through

Ed and Sadie Byrd of Campbell University. In 2003, Ed Byrd was awarded Campbell’s honorary Doctor of Laws and he has also been a recipient of the Algernon Sydney Sullivan award.

Both Ed and Sadie Byrd have been major contributors of their time and stewardship to their church, Jonesboro Heights Baptist. Ed has served as a deacon, assistant Sunday school teacher and chairman of the Finance Committee, while Sadie has been a longtime member of the church choir, the Women’s Missionary Union, the Prayer Group and Circle, as well as other outreach organizations.

A temporary service road is intended to primarily provide access for school buses, residences, the Department of Social Services, Therapeutic Alternatives (mental health services), Community Health Promotion and the CORA Food Pantry. However, this road is accessible only from the south (Business 64) and does not provide north-south travel.

Detour signs have been erected, but residents should be aware that they must approach facilities located north of the roundabout construction, such as the Eastern Chatham Senior Center, from the north. — From staff reports

APEX — Warriors on the Water is returning to Jordan Lake.

Working after 50 workshop planned

Library offers 750 audio books

By KATHERINE McDONALD Special to The Herald

SANFORD — Older workers face particular challenges in entering or re-entering the workforce, according to free-lance writer Irene Smith.

Smith, a Sanford resident, has been in that position and is now offering a Smith workshop full of great ideas on returning to the workforce after age 55. Smith, 75, was a free-lance writer in New York City for many years before moving to North Carolina in 2007. She is currently the administrative assistant for Central Carolina Community College’s Marketing & Public Affairs Department and also continues her writing.

Smith will facilitate two free workshops on “Making Ends Meet: Working for Fun and Profit� at the Enrich-

ment Center, 1615 S. Third St., Sanford. Sessions are scheduled for 4 p.m-7 p.m. Tuesday May 4 and June 1. Each will cover the same material. The sessions will include a wide-ranging, interactive discussion of employment opportunities for seniors and each participant will receive a free, functional rĂŠsumĂŠ. “This is a sorely needed resource,â€? Smith said of the information she will share. “Many, if not most, older people need to keep working to survive in today’s economy.â€?

Space is limited.

Reserve a space in one of the workshops by calling the Enrichment Center, (919) 776-0501, ext. 201.

Smith has her bachelor’s degree in English

from Barnard College and a Master of Arts in History from the University of Madrid. She has been a free-lance business and technical writer for many years and has had several books on small business management and planning published by Scribner’s. She has her own writing business, The Village Scribe, in Sanford. Currently, she has contracts from Doubleday for two books: “My Grandmother’s Bread,� a memoir about growing up on her grandparents’ Illinois farm, and “Governance and Management of Community Nonprofits.�

When not at work, Smith enjoys quilting with Hearts & Hands and volunteering with Carolina Animal Rescue & Adoption.

SANFORD — The Lee County Library now offers library patrons 750 downloadable audio books made available through NC LIVE, North Carolina’s statewide online library.

The new audio books are compatible with iPods and most MP3 devices, with subjects focusing primarily on language learning, classic literature, history, and biography.

Patrons at Lee County Library have free, online access to the new collection of audio books through www.nclive.org.

Promoting financial literacy benefits us all From the Daily Reflector of Greenville

L

ook beyond the conduct of the large banks, investment firms and government oversight, and at the heart of the nation’s economic crisis one finds Americans with precious little knowledge about the complicated financial world in which they dwell. The housing crisis is but one area where people readily accepted mortgages they could not afford and now find themselves facing foreclosure and bankruptcy as a result.

The crisis could therefore be termed as one of financial literacy, the absence of which leaves Americans struggling to navigate the complicated waters of the nation’s banking, investment and credit systems. Promoting that body of knowledge — as many top state officials in North Carolina are now doing — is not only worthwhile, it is absolutely crucial to providing a stronger, more stable framework for the country.

Students at J.H. Rose High School were recently treated to a visit by state Treasurer Janet Cowell and Superin-

tendent of Public Instruction June Atkinson as part of a statewide tour to promote financial literacy. Gov. Beverly Perdue has proclaimed April to be Financial Literacy Month, and those two officials are leading the charge to encourage more in depth discussion of that topic in public schools.

Pushing such a curriculum is desperately needed since the world young adults enter can be unfamiliar and dangerous. A credit misstep or poor investment decision can haunt people for years, affecting credit scores and all man-

ner of financial opportunity.

By emphasizing instruction of money management skills in public schools, it provides children with a greater chance to avoid those pitfalls.

In Greenville, Rose High students enjoy financial literacy instruction thanks to state grant money, but it is one of only four schools to implement such a curriculum.

Only three states require a full semester of instruction, though North Carolina is one of 17 states teaching partial financial literacy. That may change in the coming legislative session as lawmakers

are likely to see a proposal this year that would expand that program. U.S. Sen. Kay Hagan is pushing the effort on the federal level, hoping to include her proposed financial literacy program with No Child Left Behind reauthorization.

In truth, any expansion of this instruction will be a benefit to the next generation and, in the long term, this country. By providing Americans with a road map to the nation’s financial system, officials can curb the type of behavior that helped facilitate the economic downturn.

Bad service/ good service

M

ore service is not necessarily good service. And bad service dressed as good service is even worse. Here are examples: Restaurants. A waiter breaks into a lively conversation to ask, “How is the meal?” Being courteous people, we feel obliged to respond that everything is fine, only to have the robot-server walk away in our mid-sentence. So one gesture of fake concern leaves us both interrupted and disrespected.

It’s not good service to grab a plate while a dining partner is still eating. So common is this breach that many diners aren’t even aware of it.

“Can I clear that for you?” the waitron asks as he lunges for a plate on which the diner has set down her fork for 15 seconds. It can happen in five seconds, and often the plate isn’t even empty. The diner had merely sought to rest between bites.

There is an official way to indicate that one has finished: Set the fork and knife to lie parallel across the plate, with the knife’s cutting edge facing the diner.

Many waiters don’t know this signal. Or they do but are told to rush things along to get the customers up from the table to install a new set of speed-eaters. The diner’s only defense is vigilance and defiance.

E-mail. Any business or government agency whose Website offers a contact address for questions, complaints or comments should darn well have someone answering them. It’s amazing how many “contact us” links send correspondence down a black hole, never to be seen again. Wouldn’t customer relations be better served by removing the e-mail link rather than letting customers pour out their hearts only to be insulted by a non-reply?

Users of the e-mail route are often the most desirable customers. They are busy people who have jobs (and, by extension, money). They don’t have the time to wind around telephone answering trees, then sit on hold for 15 minutes for “the next available customer service agent.”

I’ve noticed that the best-run companies answer both their phones and e-mail in a timely fashion.

Call Centers. Being sent around continents for technical help, bill paying or other services is a given of our age.

And I usually don’t mind dealing with the foreign accents that often entails.

However. The call-center people working in East Whereverstan should speak an English comprehensible to a reasonably intelligent American. Often that is not the case. I usually try to work with the call-center employees by asking them to repeat things. Sometimes they get angry with me, no doubt a reflection of the abuse they’ve taken from others before me demanding that an American come to the phone.

In an age where technology is complex, having to hack through an impenetrable accent only adds to the customer’s frustration level. My advice to companies offering service over the phone: Either demand a certain level of spoken-English proficiency from your foreign call centers, or pay a few more cents an hour to hire native (or very good) speakers of English.

It’s not just the formula

Mr. Tatum seems to have forgotten the old adage that one mess up negates 10 attaboys. All of the accomplishments he listed are for naught if the school board bankrupts the school district and county to achieve those goals. Lets start with the lie of omission the school board pulled on the voters last fall when LCHS needed tens of millions of dollars of taxpayer money or our students would suffer dire consequences.

Then, miraculously, after the vote passed, millions of dollars were found to buy every kid a laptop. Talk about bait and switch... Does the school board think we, the county’s taxpayers, are made of money? When they mess up the estimates for the LCHS repairs, including failure to add enough money to cover unexpected over runs, and come up millions of dollars short, they ask us to open up our wallets again!

Don’t kid yourself Lee County, those federal grants they are trying to obtain come from our wallets too, or have you forgotten April 15 already.

Lastly, when is the last time any public works project of this magnitude ever come in on budget? I certainly can’t think of one. We all know they will get of the way through renovations and still need more money because of “bad weather” or “material costs increases.”

I’ve got news for you, it rains in Sanford — plan your schedules and budgets accordingly.

I’m just flabbergasted that the school board has the audacity to not only ask us for more money to fix LCHS before construction has even begun, all the while waving a list of how great of a job they are doing in The Herald. How about sending in the LCHS repairs budget proposal you sent out for bid to The Herald? We can have the entire county pull out their red pens and show you what the rest of us have to do when there isn’t enough money to do all the things we want to do — cross things off the list.

The school board better go find some more attaboys, they are in quite the hole.

Making sure her children get the best education possible is what motivates Lilley. “I want to make sure they can compete with anyone in the United States and globally,� she said.

She wants to see more people elected to the board that are parents of children in LCS. “I think of the representation of the board, there’s only one currently that has children in the school system,� she said.

Current board members may be basing their knowledge of the schools on central office information, she said. “It just doesn’t appear that we get enough parent involvement,� she said.

If elected to the board, she said she’d like to see an ad hoc committee created that focuses specifically on gaining parent input from a racially diverse group of parents.

Lilley also is in favor of

bringing back teacher assistants. She said she believes they are crucial to the teacher and students. “I want those teacher’s assistants back in the classroom.

We’ve got to cut somewhere else,� she said. “I know funding is an issue...but we have to make some changes.�

Engaging students early is key, Lilley said, and teachers need more time and freedom to do that. “Our elementary learning capacity is so important for those kids. Teachers are overwhelmed with paper work,� Lilley said. “Teachers need to have some flexibilty with how they’re going to teach. Give them the latitude to do that.�

Lilley said she wants to be the voice for the teachers and students that don’t have one. “Sometimes the board does not consider the whole picture.

I think we could do better at that,� she said.

She believes the 1:1 laptop inititative is a positive thing for the middle school students, but

questions the funding for the computers. “There’s no transparency where every dollar is being spent,� Lilley said. “We have to do a better job educating the public.�

In addition to financial transparency, she’d like the board to be more open about committee meeting discussions and decisions. “There’s not enough clarity.

The board minutes are very vague and that should change,�

Lilley said. “When you look at it, it’s hard for an average person. They would have to make a lot of phone calls. You don’t know what changes are really being made.�

Lilley, Shannon Gurwitch and Mark Akinosho have called themselves like-minded candidates and have grouped their campaign signs together. “If the three of us can get on the board, then I think the three of us will represent a form and fashion that will be clearer than what we currently have,�

Lilley said.

RALEIGH

U.S. Senate race focuses on regulator bonuses

By GARY D. ROBERTSON Associated Press Writer

RALEIGH — U.S. Senate Democratic hopeful Cal Cunningham again defended himself Thursday about a debate by the North Carolina Banking Commission about bonuses for its employees when rival Ken Lewis questioned his opposition to them.

Lewis argued Thursday that a May 2009 transcript shows Cunningham declined at a commission meeting to oppose $200,000 in bonuses for 74 commission workers when given a chance.

Cunningham, who left the board this spring, said last week he was off a commission conference call when “the meeting went on and business was brought up” that included a vote on a budget proposal that included the bonuses.

The meeting transcript provided by the Lewis

Robbery Continued from Page 1A

Brown is being charged with a separate armed robbery Tuesday night on South Moore Street, where police say he threatened to use a gun and stole several miscellaneous items from two individuals.

The Tuesday robbery was reported at 9:40 p.m.

Tuesday.

Brown will be charged with two additional counts of robbery with a dangerous weapon and two counts of felony possession of stolen goods.

All three are being held in Lee County Jail; McDougald under a $165,000 secured bond,

campaign shows Cunningham was on the call when potential bonuses were discussed and he asked a procedural question after some members questioned the timing of handing out bonuses during the recession and banking crisis.

The bonuses weren’t voted on separately but a commission budget proposal earmarking the bonus money was approved later, after Cunningham left the call. The bonuses were never given out in part because other state employees were getting no raises due to the bad economy.

Bonuses have raised the public’s ire in light of the government’s 2008 financial bailout and the flap over companies such as American International Group Inc. granting bonuses to employees even while receiving billions of dollars in assistance.

“When Cal had a chance to make a stand

against bonuses he was silent,” Lewis, a Chapel Hill attorney, said in a prepared statement Thursday. “That is not standing up for the working families of North Carolina, that’s standing down.”

Cunningham told reporters Thursday he never voted for any bonuses but acknowledged he and other members discussed them. Cunningham spokeswoman Angela Guyadeen said later Lewis was making “a desperate attempt” to throw mud into the race and create a distraction for North Carolina voters.

People “want to know what we’re going to do in Washington,” Cunningham said after a Raleigh event in which he unveiled a middle-class tax cut proposal. “I’m proud of what I did on the state banking commission. I think I will take that exact same zeal for making sure this industry is regulated to Washington.”

Tucker under a $170,000 secured bond, and Brown under a $305,000 secured bond.

Investigators say the men made off with an undisclosed amount of money from the 147 Rand St. restaurant, which is under new ownership and not yet open for business, after entering and producing a gun.

No one was hurt in

the Sabor Latino robbery, which was reported just before 1 p.m.

Wednesday.

Police stopped their vehicle near Cemetery Road and Willowridge Drive a short time later, investigators say, making the arrest with no incident and finding a gun believed to be used in the restaurant robbery, as well as some of Sabor Latino’s money.

The vote came at the conclusion of a public hearing on the matter which began at 5 p.m. in commissioners’ room at the county office building.

Voters in November passed a quarter-cent sales tax increase to fund the renovation project. The countywill receive its first installment of revenue from the increase in July.

American South General Contractor of Sanford turned in the lowest bid for the renovation project, but it came in at more than $3 million higher than the county had estimated, causing the county to contemplate the increased allocation.

The $23 million will be used to fund the total cost of construction, just less than $20.5 million, along with more than $2 million in architectural and attorney fees, asbestos removal and a $400,000 contingency fund for the project.

By the end of the 15-year loan, the county will have spent $26,053,557 on the project including interest on the financing package from BB&T. Shook said she voted

miserably...Election day won’t come soon enough.”

Students from the school commented on the deteriorating conditions on their campus, some adding that they “marvelled at Wake County schools” when they traveled north for sporting events and other activities and wished their school was as nice.

Some students ponted out that a renovated school would attract more people from Fort Bragg’s expansion efforts to live in Sanford, while others commented that little had changed at the school since their parents attended class there a generation ago.

“Despite our building we have overachieved,” said senior Taylor Batten, LCHS Principal Greg Batten’s daughter.

Chet Mann, co-chairman of the committe that pushed for passage of the sales tax increase, told the board that the referendum’s victory “by a 2-to-1 margin” was proof that the community wanted the renovations completed once and for all.

“Don’t be swayed by those who oppose everything,” he said. “We don’t want to look back and say that we should have completed it.”

Montgomery Development Carolina Corporation will help construction, as well as a handful of local contractors.

Dozens were on hand Thursday to tout the building, which is expected to include medical offices, retail and

maybe a first-floor cafe.

Sanford Mayor Cornelia Olive said it was important for the city to take steps to be more green-friendly.

“I’m so excited I don’t know what to do,” Olive said.

against the amendment because she was “very worried about the local economy,” and the school board should make its plans for the school fit within the current allotment.

“I see no growth in our tax base,” she said.

“I’d like to see us get by on what we have already approved.”

Following the meeting, Lee County Board of Education Chairman Bill Tatum called the amendment “necessary,” adding that he wanted to make it clear that the increase “was not an attempt to raise property taxes.”

“We’re not asking for anything more than the sales tax and lottery funds will pay,” he said.

At the public hearing prior to the vote, only one Lee County resident, Russ Noel, spoke against the increase, while 14, including students from the high school and members of the school board, signed up to speak in favor.

Noel said he was “strongly opposed to the increase” because the county had “already approved too much” for the project.

“You have already eroded the financial solvency of the county,” he said in prepared remarks. “You’ve failed

STATE BRIEFS 4-day appliance rebate program kicks off in N.C.

RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s four-day program to give a 15 percent price break on energy-efficient kitchen and laundry appliances is off to a fast start.

The State Energy Office said more than $2 million in rebates had been obligated Thursday afternoon for Energy Star-qualified refrigerators, freezers, dishwashers and clothes washers. The program continues through Sunday or when the rebate total reaches about $8 million.

To receive a rebate, North Carolina residents must replace an existing appliance and buy the new appliance at one of more than 400 qualified retail outlets. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a limit of one rebate per customer per product category.

The rebate money came from the federal stimulus package.

Automotive company adding about 350 jobs

DURHAM (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A North Carolina company that makes automatic transmissions and components says itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s adding up to 360 jobs over the next two years so it can build and ship a new line for Toyota, transferring the work from Japan.

AW North Carolina said Thursday the new line will manufacture and ship fully assembled front-wheel-drive automatic transmissions for Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing North America.

The production will start in the fall of 2011.

In January 2009, the company cited the slumping economy as its reason for laying off 280 workers and offering voluntary severance to salaried employees. The company now employs about 900

full-time and temporary workers.

AW North Carolina says its new investment is expected to exceed $100 million.

Trial could settle rape case from 1987 GOLDSBORO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A trial under way this week in North Carolina could be the last chapter in a case that began with the conviction of a man who served almost 19 years in prison for a rape he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t commit.

The News & Observer of Raleigh reported 54-year-old William Neal is on trial for raping a 12-year-old girl in 1987. Dwayne Dail of Goldsboro was convicted in 1989 and was released in 2007 after DNA evidence showed he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rape the girl.

Lawyers gave opening statements Wednesday in the case against Neal, who lived around the corner from the girl in 1987. The victim also testified Wednesday, describing her attack.

Hotel gets thousands of buzzing guests CHARLOTTE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A North Carolina hotel has tens of thousands of new guests and they are creating quite a buzz.

Multiple media outlets reported that the Ritz-Carlton in Charlotte has brought in honeybees to live on its new green roof.

The top of the 18story hotel is planted with groundcover and has tomatoes, herbs and lavender growing in raised beds on one side of the roof. There are two beehives on the other side.

Officials say the bees will visit condominium balconies and city parks within a two-mile radius of the hotel before returning to their hives.

Executive chef Jon Farace says the beesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; honey will be used in the hotelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s yogurt, granola and brews served at high tea.

5 GOP challengers aiming for U.S. Rep. Cobleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seat

By GARY D. ROBERTSON Associated Press Writer

DENTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; U.S. Rep. Howard Coble, the longest-serving GOP House member in North Carolina history, earned his stripes as a fiscal hawk by refusing to take a congressional pension.

Cobleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name is as familiar to the voters who elected him by a 2-to-1 margin in 2008 as the worn black fedora, sport coat and khakis he wore on a recent day trip through Davidson County in the 6th District. He last ran in a Republican primary when he first won the seat in 1984.

So why are five fellow GOP members so bent on going after his job this year? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know,â&#x20AC;? Coble said in a recent interview. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The climate is laced with anger and frustration and some of the people have said, â&#x20AC;&#x2122;throw the bums outâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.â&#x20AC;?

An eclectic collection of opponents that include a well-drilling company owner, anesthesiologist and furniture showroom owner argue Coble, 79, hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been vocal enough in opposing Democratic spending and failed to carry out party principles while Republicans were in charge of Congress.

Some hint Cobleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time has passed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think that he has the support of the people that he had,â&#x20AC;? said Guilford County commissioner Billy Yow, one challenger who has gained support from the tea party movement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a great congressman and he has served the 6th District well. What Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m saying is in the last three years he has

not been as vocal, he has not been as active as the folks would like to see him be.â&#x20AC;?

After an overnight hospital stay in February for bumping his head while fainting, Coble is attempting to reassure the public of his fitness to serve a 14th term by keeping to his normal hectic schedule in the district, which covers the central Piedmont. But it has been strange for Coble or others to fret about a political strategy for the May 4 primary, rather than the fall election. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You need to introduce him to everybody you can,â&#x20AC;? Ultra-Mek Inc. President Steve Hoffman told his son, Shane, when Coble visited their furniture component manufacturing plant in Denton.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;He needs their votes.â&#x20AC;?

The challengers are among a whopping 48 Republicans running for North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 13 congressional seats, the most in at least 20 years.

They have arrived at a time of increasing disdain by Republicans and unaffiliated voters over what they call out-of-control spending in Congress and a liberal agenda by President Obama and other Democratic leaders on the financial bailout, the stimulus package and health care overhaul.

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more, they argue, Republicans like Coble failed to exert fiscal discipline when they controlled Congress during the years of President George W. Bush. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not talking about the key

issues that America is waking up to,â&#x20AC;? said Coble challenger James Taylor of Pinehurst, who owns three medical practices in south central North Carolina.

Another candidate, High Point furniture showroom owner Cathy Hinson contends members of Congress were literally bribed to pass the health care bill and should be thrown out of office. Though Coble voted against the bill, she said voters need more than his â&#x20AC;&#x153;quiet voice in Congressâ&#x20AC;? to stand up to that kind of activity.

Other candidates include Jon Mangin, a 25year-old information technology trainer critical of Coble on trade agreements and financial adviser Jeff Phillips of Greensboro.

DRILLING IN THE GULF OF MEXICO

Burning rig sinks, setting stage for big spill

NEW ORLEANS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A deepwater oil platform that burned for more than a day after a massive explosion sank into the Gulf of Mexico on Thursday, creating the potential for a major spill as it underscored the slim chances that the 11 workers still missing survived.

The sinking of the Deepwater Horizon, which burned violently until the gulf itself extinguished the fire, could unleash more than 300,000 of gallons of crude into the water every day. The environmental hazards would be greatest if the spill were to reach the Louisiana coast, some 50 miles away.

Crews searched by air and water for the missing workers, hoping they had managed to reach a lifeboat, but one relative said family members have been told itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unlikely any of the missing survived Tuesday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blast.

More than 100 workers escaped the explosion and fire; four were critically injured.

Carolyn Kemp of Monterey, La., said her grandson, Roy Wyatt Kemp, 27, was among the missing.

She said he would have been on the drilling plat-

This image provided by the U.S. Coast Guard shows fire boat response crews battle the blazing remnants of the off shore oil rig Deepwater Horizon Wednesday. The Coast Guard by sea and air planned to search overnight for 11 workers missing since a thunderous explosion rocked an oil drilling platform that continued to burn late Wednesday. form when it exploded. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re assuming all those men who were on the platform are dead,â&#x20AC;?

Kemp said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the last weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard.â&#x20AC;?

A fleet of supply vessels had shot water into the rig to try to control the fire enough to keep it afloat and keep oil out of the water. Officials had previously said the environmental damage appeared minimal, but new

challenges have arisen now that the platform has sunk.

The well could be spilling up to 336,000 gallons of crude oil a day, Coast Guard Petty Officer Katherine McNamara said. She said she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know whether the crude oil was spilling into the gulf. The rig also carried 700,000 gallons of diesel fuel, but that would likely evaporate if the fire didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t

consume it.

Coast Guard Rear Adm. Mary Landry said crews saw a 1-mile-by-5-mile sheen of what appeared to be a crude oil mix on the surface of the water.

She said there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t any evidence crude oil was coming out after the rig sank, but officials also arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on underwater. They have dispatched a vessel to check.

The oil will do much less damage at sea than it would if it hits the shore, said Cynthia Sarthou, executive director of the Gulf Restoration Network. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If it gets landward, it could be a disaster in the making,â&#x20AC;? Sarthou said.

Doug Helton, incident operations coordinator for the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office of response and restoration, said the spill is not expected to come onshore in next three to four days. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But if the winds were to change, it could come ashore more rapidly,â&#x20AC;? he said.

At the worst-case figure of 336,000 gallons a day, it would take more than a month for the amount of crude oil spilled to equal the 11 million gallons spilled from the Exxon Valdez in Alaskaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Prince William Sound.

The well will need to be capped underwater.

Coast Guard Petty Officer Ashley Butler said crews were prepared for the platform to sink and had the equipment at the site to limit the environmental damage.

Oil giant BP, which contracted the rig, said it has mobilized four

aircraft that can spread chemicals to break up the oil and 32 vessels, including a big storage barge, that can suck more than 171,000 barrels of oil a day from the surface.

Crews searching for the missing workers, meanwhile, have covered the 1,940-square-mile search area by air 12 times and by boat five times. The boats searched all night.

The family of Dewey Revette, a 48-year-old from southeast Mississippi, said he was also among the missing. He worked as a driller on the rig and had been with the company for 29 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all just sitting around waiting for the phone to ring and hoping for good news. And praying about it,â&#x20AC;? said Revetteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 23-year-old daughter, Andrea Cochran.

Home sales jump, jobless claims fall

By ALAN ZIBEL AP Business Writer

WASHINGTON — The economy is improving, with home sales up, jobless claims down and inflation tame. Yet there are concerns the economic rebound won’t get much juice from the housing market, which is being fueled by government tax breaks.

Sales of previously occupied homes grew by nearly 7 percent last month, more than expected, the National Association of Realtors said Thursday. It was a welcome sign after three months of declines, and a solid kickoff to what’s expected to be a strong spring selling season.

Nevertheless, many analysts caution that the housing rebound could fade in the second half of the year. They predict a flood of low-priced foreclosures will hit the market and push down prices in a destabilizing “double dip.”

Another threat to the U.S. economic recovery is fallout from the Greek debt crisis. On Thursday, Europe’s statistics agency found that Greece’s budget

Joann Weber, of Midtown Realty, changes the sign from “Sale Pending” to “Sold” at a home that just sold in Palo Alto, Calif. deficit last year was larger than previously thought, which may push the country to seek emergency loans. Shares on Wall Street were down in the morning, but ended the day modestly higher.

So far, “the recovery looks like it will continue,” said Jay Feldman, senior economist with Credit Suisse. “We don’t see another recession.”

Underscoring that view, the government reported Thursday that new claims for unemployment benefits fell by 24,000 to a seasonally adjusted 456,000, the Labor Department said.

And in a separate report, the government said wholesale prices rose 0.7 percent last month. But excluding volatile food and energy costs, prices rose only 0.1 percent, which means there is little risk of inflation.

Speaking in lower Manhattan, President Barack Obama said the economy is recovering in what he called “the fastest turnaround in growth in nearly three decades.”

The Obama administration says its policies have helped stop the housing freefall. The government is offering tax credits to homebuy-

ers and trying to stem foreclosures by paying incentives to lenders who rework loans for troubled borrowers.

The government is offering an $8,000 credit for first-time buyers and $6,500 for current homeowners who buy and move into another property. To qualify for these tax incentives, buyers must have a signed contract complete by the end of next week and must complete the sale by the end of June. Nearly 1.8 million households have used the credit at a cost of $12.6 billion, according to the Internal Revenue Service.

Scrambling to get in before the April 30 deadline, buyers pushed up March’s sales pace to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.35 million, the highest since December. Analysts had forecast sales would increase to 5.28 million.

“You have buyers who have been looking and looking at properties and realizing that it’s almost too late,” said Kathi McLeod, sales manager for Windermere Real Estate in Boise, Idaho. “They’re really scrambling and jumping into deals.”

FINANCIAL REGULATION

Obama slams Wall Street, but asks for support

NEW YORK (AP) — President Barack Obama rebuked Wall Street for risky practices Thursday even as he sought its leaders’ help for “updated, commonsense” banking regulations to head off any new financial crisis.

“Ultimately there is no dividing line between Main Street and Wall Street.

We rise or we fall together as one nation. So I urge you to join me,” said in a high-stakes speech near the nation’s financial hub. His

audience included some of the nation’s most influential bankers.

The president acknowledged differences of opinion over how to best protect bailout-weary taxpayers but denounced criticism from some Republicans who claim a Democratic-sponsored bill headed for Senate action would encourage rather than discourage future bailouts of huge banks.

“That makes for a good sound bite, but it’s not

factually accurate. It is not true,” Obama said to scattered applause. “In fact, the system as it stands — the system as it stands is what led to a series of massive, costly taxpayer bailouts.”

He said the overhaul legislation would put a stop to such bailouts.

Obama’s speech came at a delicate time in negotiations over the Senate measure, which could be debated next week. The House has passed its own version of financial overhaul legisla-

tion. Obama did not say which one he favored but told an audience that included dozens of financial leaders “both bills represent significant improvement on the flawed rules we have in place today.”

Obama portrayed his appearance at Cooper Union college, in lower Manhattan, as a reprise of a campaign speech he gave at the same location in March 2008 to offer an agenda for financial regulatory reform.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Tempers growing short, Democrats set an initial showdown vote for next Monday on legislation to clamp new regulations on the financial industry while Republicans insisted on more bargaining. President Barack Obama admonished Wall Street leaders “to join us instead of fighting us” to prevent a future national financial collapse.

Words were becoming more heated Thursday among lawmakers who will campaign for re-election this summer on the results of this legislation — written in reaction to the economic crisis that threw the nation into recession — as well as the hard-fought health care overhaul.

Without an accord with the GOP, which was blocking the start of formal debate on the bill, Democrats would need 60 votes to move ahead in the Senate.

Lawsuit reveals correspondence about priest MILWAUKEE (AP) — The case of a Wisconsin priest accused of preying on boys at a school for the deaf was presented to the Vatican by one of the victims a year earlier than previously thought, according to documents revealed Thursday in another lawsuit aimed at the highest levels of the Roman Catholic Church.

A man identified in the lawsuit as “John Doe 16” of Illinois wrote a March 5, 1995, letter to then-Vatican Secretary of State Angelo Sodano alleging that the Rev. Lawrence Murphy molested him for a number of years. Previously, it was believed that the Vatican first learned of the allegations against Murphy in a July 1996 letter from Milwaukee Archbishop Rembert Weakland.

Murphy, who died in 1998, is accused of sexually abusing some 200 boys at the school from 1950 to 1974. His case drew renewed scrutiny after the recent release of documents suggesting that a Vatican office led by then-

Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger — now the pope — failed to aggressively discipline Murphy.

Educators urge parents to take kids to school CHICAGO (AP) — Many U.S. school districts urged parents to keep their kids in class and not take them to work Thursday for an annual event they say disrupts learning at an increasingly critical time of year.

From Arizona to Illinois to Texas, educators alerted parents that between high-stakes standardized testing in some areas and the H1N1 virus that kept thousands of children home earlier in the school year, the timing of “Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day” doesn’t make sense.

“This year, of all years, to have a student miss a day for something like this that could be done anytime — it just seems the focus should be on students and their learning here,” said Guy Schumacher, the superintendent of Libertyville Elementary School District 70 in suburban Chicago.

Blagojevich asks judge to subpoena Pres. Obama CHICAGO (AP) — Former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich asked a federal judge on Thursday to issue a subpoena for President Barack Obama to testify as a witness at his corruption trial.

Blagojevich said in court papers filed by defense attorney Sam Adam that Obama would be able to resolve questions surrounding the government’s allegation that the former governor sought to sell or trade the seat left vacant following the president’s November 2008 election.

“President Barack Obama has direct knowledge of the Senate seat allegation,” Blagojevich’s 11-page motion filed with U.S. District Judge James B. Zagel said.

There was no allegation in the court papers of any wrongdoing on Obama’s part.

Going to see JLoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new movie? Make a back-up plan

A

t the risk of adding to the inevitable panoply of puns spawned by the title of Jennifer Lopezâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest film, I sure hope J.Lo has a â&#x20AC;&#x153;back-up planâ&#x20AC;? for her latest stab at an acting career comeback. Lopez is certainly not without talent â&#x20AC;&#x201D; sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s telegenic, charismatic, and I still think she and George Cooney in the increasingly underrated â&#x20AC;&#x153;Out of Sightâ&#x20AC;? are the sexiest onscreen couple in recent movie history.

The problem is that Lopez lacks the acting chops to carry dramas, and producers of romantic-comedies are torn over whether to cast her as sweet or sassy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wear the former well, while the latter plays too close to her diva persona. Filmmakers of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Back-up Planâ&#x20AC;? try to have it both ways, and the result is predictable â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a shoddy, crass trifle whose moral compass is beset by magnetic interference.

Lopez and Alex Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Loughlin (the American Matthew Goode) play the sort of faux-folk only Hollywood could contrive. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Zoe, a hopelessly single former dotcom exec who cashed out to buy a Manhattan pet store. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Stan, who recovered from his

The Back-up Plan

Neil Morris The Reel Deal

AP photo

In this film publicity image released by CBS Films, Jennifer Lopez is shown in a scene from, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Back-Up Plan.â&#x20AC;? philandering Swedish ex-wife by moving to the country to run an organic cheese farm.

Zoe has also decided to become a single mother, and in the filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opening sequence she visits her fertility doctor, Dr. Harris (Robert Klein), for the latest round of artificial insemination.

Let the tropes begin!

On her way out of the sperm bank, Zoe and Stan meet-cute when they both try to commandeer the same taxi (of course they doâ&#x20AC;Ś). A series of (not-so) coincidental encounters later, and soon the two take a literal roll in the hay inside Stanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cheese barn.

Of course, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only postcoitus when Zoe finally informs Stan that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already pregnant, with

twins she later learns.

The problem with this â&#x20AC;&#x153;Knocked-Upâ&#x20AC;? knockoff is that in the Judd Apatow laugher, Seth Roganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s character actually impregnated Katherine Heiglâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s character. Here, Stan neither sires Zoeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s children nor is even aware of her pregnancy or decision to have kids when they embark on their embryonic romance.

But, why let a small detail like that derail manufactured conflict?

The rest of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Backup Planâ&#x20AC;? is an endless series of vignettes revolving around deciding whether Stanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trepidation over accidental fatherhood is just harmless jitters or a sign that he intends to shirk some mysteri-

ous, incomprehensible responsibility and (horror) breakup with Zoe. Beyond the ethical idiocies, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Back-up Planâ&#x20AC;? is just a crummy movie. In our post-Apatow world, the only thing separating this from a run-of-the-mill TV movie is the rank, ill-fitting profanity and repeated gross-out gags. In a movie that partly seeks to reveal the ugly truth of childbirth, it is fine to have scenes involving peeing on pregnancy sticks and morning sickness vomiting. But, do we really need Stan fainting after seeing a closeup of Dr. Harrisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bloody glove after he examines Zoeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vagina, or, when Zoe and Stan witness a water birth, Zoe fainting and nose-diving into the placenta-filled kiddie pool?

Grade: D + Director: Alan Poul Starring: Jennifer Lopez, Alex Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Loughlin, Michaela Watkins, Anthony Anderson, and Eric Christian Olsen MPAA Rating: PG-13 Running Time: 1 hour, 46 minutes Theaters: Spring Lane Cinemas in Sanford; Crossroads 20 in Cary

Moreover, the filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s patina of tolerance conceals a latent elitism. When Zoe joins a support group for unwed mothers, director â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and longtime â&#x20AC;&#x153;Six Feet Underâ&#x20AC;? producer â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Alan Poul curiously casts the single moms as an eccentric, bohemian lot who are all butch and/or overweight. Indeed, Zoeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mere decision to date another man nearly gets her kicked out of the tribe.

The filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fleeting bright spot is an all-toobrief walk-on by Anthony Anderson as a father of three with a sardonic, sobering view of parenthood. Otherwise, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Back-up Planâ&#x20AC;? is a badly written, moralizing mess that is as tedious as it is unfunny. Should Iâ&#x20AC;Śsure, why not? The only â&#x20AC;&#x153;backup planâ&#x20AC;? the audience will need is knowing the quickest exit from the theater.

Sigourney Weaver urges action to protect oceans WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Proponents of climate change legislation usually invoke the need to reduce global warming, but actress Sigourney Weaver is coming to the defense of something thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s often Weaver out of sight â&#x20AC;&#x201D; oceans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One secret the oceans have kept very well is their sensitivity to carbon dioxide pollution,â&#x20AC;? Weaver said at a Senate hearing Thursday, as she urged lawmakers to pass climate legislation that would limit carbon emissions.

She made her pitch on the same day that a report from the National Research Council found that ocean chemistry is changing faster than it has in hundreds of thousands of years because of the carbon dioxide being absorbed from the atmosphere.

The resulting increased acidity of the oceans poses a serious threat to shellfish and other marine life.

Ocean acidification has been dubbed global warningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;evil twin.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;My hope, one shared by millions of Americans, is that you, our legislators, will put aside your differences and enact climate and energy legislation that will move America to a clean energy economy,â&#x20AC;? Weaver said. She also urged other steps such as protecting marine and coastal habitats and reducing pollution.

Faith Hill open to creating her own fashion line

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Faith Hill is a red carpet regular and has proven to be a consistent fashionista throughout her 15 years in country music.

That made her a perfect fit to judge the finale of this seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Project Runway.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have always paid close attention to detail in my work, and I understand and relate to big dreams and hard work,â&#x20AC;? she said in an e-mail to The Associated Press. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fortunately, those things served me well while focusing on each designer. It was actually quite natural for me.â&#x20AC;?

Hill has sold over 30 million records and has her own fragrance, Faith Hill Parfums.

After her time on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Project Runway,â&#x20AC;? Hill said she is open to creating her own fashion line in the future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If the right opportunity presents itself, I can guarantee you it would be my passion, and I would put my heart and soul into making it the best it could possibly be,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would design for the women I know and their kids ... busy moms with great style.â&#x20AC;?

Franklin Graham prepares to give the invocation before the NASCAR Coca-Cola 600 at Loweâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Motor Speedway in Concord.

OVER 90 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE

Day of Prayer Task Force, which works with the Pentagon chaplainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office on the prayer event.

As co-honorary chair of the task force, Graham was expected to be the lead speaker at the May 6 Pentagon service. Country singer Ricky Skaggs was expected to perform.

Since Grahamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s invitation was rescinded, the

task force has decided not to participate in the military prayer service, Collins said.

The decision suggests a growing sensitivity in recent years among senior Pentagon officials to the divide between the U.S. military and Muslims.

Graham attended a Pentagon prayer service in 2003, despite objections

by Muslim groups.

Graham said he regrets that the Army felt its decision was necessary.

In a statement, Graham said he would continue to pray for the troops to â&#x20AC;&#x153;give them guidance, wisdom and protection as they serve this great country.â&#x20AC;?

Nihad Awad, national executive director of Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations, said Grahamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s invitation would have sent â&#x20AC;&#x153;entirely the wrong messageâ&#x20AC;? at a time when troops are stationed in Muslim nations.

NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Evangelist Franklin Grahamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s invitation to speak at a Pentagon prayer service has been rescinded because his comments about Islam were inappropriate, the Army said Thursday.

Graham, the son of famed evangelist Billy Graham, in 2001 described Islam as evil. More recently, he has said he finds Islam offensive and wants Muslims to know that Jesus Christ died for their sins.

Army spokesman Col. Tom Collins said Grahamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s remarks were â&#x20AC;&#x153;not appropriate.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re an all-inclusive military,â&#x20AC;?

Looming tanning bed tax turning up heat on industry DENVER (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prime season for tanning beds, when proms and spring beach vacations prompt young women to pack indoor salons in search of bronze skin to go with their new bikinis.

But business is slow this spring. Health warnings about the skin cancer risks of tanning beds, combined with consumers forgoing nonessentials in this recession, have the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s estimated 18,000 tanning salons on hard times. Now theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re bracing for another hit: A 10 percent tax on tanning bed use starts nationwide this July, part of the federal health care overhaul. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Will I be here next year?

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know,â&#x20AC;? said Kristi Alpers, owner of Cherry Creek Tans in Denver. The tax will add 90 cents to a few dollars for a single tanning session, depending on the machine. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fee she thinks will bankrupt her.

Congressional tax writers project the tax will raise about $2.7 billion to help expand health coverage to uninsured Americans over the next decade, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re betting that indoor tanners wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be turned off by a few extra dollars.

Ariz. lawmakers express doubt over Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birthplace PHOENIX (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Arizona lawmakers expressing doubt over whether President Barack Obama was born in the United States are pushing a bill through the Legislature that would require the president to show his birth certificate to get on the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2012 ballot.

The House passed the measure Wednesday on a 31-29 vote, ignoring protests from opponents who said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s casting Arizona in an ugly light and could give the elected secretary of state broad powers to kick a presidential candidate off the ballot. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re becoming a national joke,â&#x20AC;? Rep. Chad Campbell, a Phoenix Democrat who opposes the measure, said Thursday.

The measureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sponsor, Republican Rep. Judy Burges of Skull Valley, said she isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure if Obama could prove his eligibility for the ballot in Arizona and wants to erase all doubts.

NCAA EXPANDS TOURNEY

BY FOUR TEAMS TO 68

By MICHAEL MAROT AP Sports Writer

INDIANAPOLIS — The NCAA has decided not to mess around too much with March Madness.

College sports’ largest governing body announced a 14-year, $10.8 billion deal with CBS and Turner Broadcasting on Thursday that will begin with an expanded men’s basketball tournament next March. But instead of jumping to a 96-team field, a possibility that drew criticism from bracketobsessed fans to coaches, the NCAA plans to expand by only three teams, from 65 to 68.

Every game will be broadcast live nationally for the first time in the tournament’s 73-year history.

“It was a goal from the very, very beginning. I believe it’s what our membership wanted, and it’s what our fans wanted across the country,” NCAA interim president Jim Isch said. “I think without question, it was one of the driving factors in our position and why CBS and Turner make such great partners.”

Striking a balance was a challenge for NCAA officials.

The previous television deal, which gave CBS Sports the broadcast rights for $6 billion over 11 years, would have expired in three years. Both sides had opt-out clauses that had to be exercised

by July 31, and the NCAA was preparing to do just that. The hope was to create a bidding war and strike a lucrative deal, generating more money for NCAA payouts to schools.

CBS Sports won the war, beating out at least an offer from ESPN. What’s new is that CBS will share broadcast rights with Atlanta-based Turner Broadcasting System Inc. and its stable of cable channels — TNT, TBS and truTV — from 2011 through 2024.

The NCAA won, too: Isch said the new deal will provide an average of $740 million per year that will returned to conferences and schools.

Just a few weeks ago, a muchbigger NCAA tournament seemed like it was all but a done deal.

During a news conference at the Final Four, NCAA vice president Greg Shaheen was hounded by questions about how many more classes players would miss to play in additional tourney games.

College basketball analysts often called the 65-team format the perfect size, suggesting more teams would water down the tourney. Some coaches, whose jobs often hinge on tourney appearances, even rejected the notion that adding so many teams was a good thing.

SANFORD — The Lee County baseball team has more in common with the Yellow Jackets’ soccer team than it might think.

Namely, the Tri-9 Conference — and the studs in it.

With just two weeks remaining in the regular season, the Jackets’ baseball team finds itself in the middle of the league standings and, were the season to end today, outside of one of the league’s five postseason berths.

But the season isn’t over right now, and with four conference games left, there is still time for sixth-place Lee County (8-9, 5-7) to make a move — one way or the other.

“We have to play as well as we can for these last two weeks and hope at the end that we have a good enough record to make the playoffs,” said Jackets coach Charlie Spivey on the eve of today’s 7 p.m. game on the road at Middle Creek.

There’s a good chance Lee County is a lot better than its current record indicates. The Jackets will complete a rough stretch of baseball in which six of their last seven games have been on the road.

Not only that, in that stretch of league games, Lee County has faced a total of five potential Division-1 college pitchers — one of them twice.

Hence, the tough conference, and not unlike the league gauntlet the Jackets; soccer typically has to wade through each season.

“We’ve just been facing outstanding pitchers,” Spivey said. “This is probably the best 4-A conference in the state from top to bottom. I don’t think there’s any question.”

Still, the Jackets are in the hunt. And if they

BROOKS NAMED NBA’S MOST IMPROVED PLAYER

HOUSTON (AP) — Houston Rockets point guard Aaron Brooks has been named the league’s most improved player.

The 6-foot Brooks set career highs in points (19.6 per game), assists (5.3) and rebounds (2.6). His scoring average went up 8.4 points from 2008-09, the highest increase of any qualifying player.

The Rockets finished 42-40, missing the playoffs for the first time since 2006. Brooks started all 82 games while the roster went through several changes during the season, caused by injuries or trades.

NFL DRAFT

No surprise: Rams think Bradford is No. 1 NEW YORK (AP) — The Big 12 kicked off a big party for itself at Radio City Music Hall in the first prime-time NFL draft Thursday night.

The Rockettes would have loved it.

Starting with quarterback Sam Bradford going to the St. Louis Rams, five of the top six picks were from the Big 12.

The Oklahoma junior became the eighth quarterback since 2001 taken atop the draft. He was immediately followed Thursday night by defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh of Nebraska, the AP Player of the Year; DT Gerald McCoy and OT Trent Williams, Bradford’s teammates with the Sooners.

“That’s pretty cool because I know the Big 12

has been getting a lot of slack lately,” Bradford said.

“People for some reason didn’t think that we played much football in the Big 12 and sure didn’t think we played much defense, so for two defensive tackles to go in the first three picks is a credit to the Big 12.”

Bradford, the 2008 winner of the Heisman Trophy, joins a Rams team that was 1-15 last season and scored a league-low 175 points. The Rams cut incumbent Marc Bulger in the offseason.

Bradford appeared in only three games in 2009, his junior year, before undergoing right shoulder surgery. His recovery has been so complete that the Rams didn’t hesitate to make him the future face of the franchise.

Yankees turn first triple play since 1968 in loss

SPORTS BRIEFS Teague verbally commits to Kentucky

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Kentucky coach John Calipari has landed another high-profile point guard to his collection.

Indiana high school star Marquis Teague verbally committed to the Wildcats on Thursday, opting to join the Wildcats over Louisville and Indiana among schools.

Teague is ranked the No. 2 player in the Class of 2011

by Rivals.com. He can’t sign a letter of intent until the fall at the earliest, but if he signs with the Wildcats he will join a steadily growing list of elite point guards who have agreed to play for Calipari, a list that includes Derrick Rose and John Wall.

The 6-foot-2 Teague averaged 15.7 points and 4.6 assists for Pike High in Indianapolis, and his combination of size and athleticisim have made him a coveted recruit.

Teague said he was leaning toward Louisville early in the recruiting process before choosing Kentucky after the Wildcats hired John Calipari last spring.

BCS releases new formula for qualification

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) — The Bowl Championship Series has released its formula for determining how conferences, such as the Mountain West, can earn an BCS automatic bid.

The BCS uses three criteria that measure conference strength over a four-year period. The criteria are: the ranking of the highest-ranked team in the final BCS standings; the final regular-season computer rankings of all the teams in a conference; and the number of teams in the top 25 of the final BCS standings.

Six conferences — the Big

East, Big Ten, Big 12, ACC, SEC and Pac-10 — have automatic bids that are contractually bound through the 2013 season.

Another league could earn an automatic bid if it meets certain thresholds using those criteria.

Wall heading to NBA while agent search continues LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — Kentucky point guard John Wall says he’s thankful for his time with the Wildcats and is ready to head to the NBA. The freshman star said Thursday he considered returning to school as a sophomore but the risk of injury outweighed the reward of vying for an NCAA championship.

Wall was part of a stellar freshman class that helped Kentucky to a 35-3 record and a Southeastern Conference championship. Kentucky fell to West Virginia in the regional finals of the NCAA tournament.

Wall has yet to hire an agent, though the process should be completed soon.

The SEC Player of the Year is expected to be among the first players drafted, a prospect that he calls “a dream come true.”

Wall is one of five Kentucky underclassmen who have declared for the NBA Draft.

Red Sox OF Ellsbury has 4 cracked ribs BOSTON (AP) — Red Sox outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury has hairline fractures in four ribs and it’s not known when he’ll be able to return.

Ellsbury has been out since April 11, when he collided with third baseman Adrian Beltre in Kansas City.

He would have been eligible to come off the disabled list on Tuesday.

Edmonds, Braun and Brewers batter Pirates 20-0 PITTSBURGH (AP) — Jim Edmonds, Ryan Braun and the Milwaukee Brewers went batty, piling up 25 hits and trouncing Pittsburgh 20-0 Thursday in the most-lopsided loss in Pirates’ history.

Milwaukee matched a club mark for margin of victory and set a record for its biggest shutout win.

Prince Fielder hit his first home run of the season and Edmonds, Braun and George Kottaras also connected — they were among 10 players with an RBI. The Brewers finished with 12 extra-base hits.

Milwaukee led 10-0 after five innings, then scored six runs in the seventh and four more in

the ninth. The rout came a day after the Brewers beat up Pittsburgh 8-0.

Edmonds doubled twice and singled, while Braun added a double and single to drive in five runs. Rickie Weeks doubled twice, singled and scored four times.

Randy Wolf (2-1) pitched six scoreless innings and three relievers finished up. The Brewers won their fourth in a row and handed Pittsburgh its third straight loss.

Daniel McCutchen (02) was tagged for six runs and eight hits in 3 2-3 innings. Remarkably, his ERA stayed the same as it was entering the game, 14.73.

The Brewers also won

by 20 in 1992 when they beat Toronto 22-2. The Pirates’ previous onesided loss was by 18 runs, done twice.

Milwaukee swept the three-game series and outscored the Pirates 36-1. Pittsburgh has lost eight times this season, by at least six runs each time and 83-13 overall.

Braun hit a three-run homer and a two-run double. Fielder took a while to hit a home run — he tied for second in the NL last year with 46.

Wolf allowed six hits and improved his career record against Pittsburgh to 8-1. Claudio Vargas, Manny Parra and Trevor Hoffman each pitched one inning.

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Kurt Suzuki hit a three-run homer, Dallas Braden outdueled CC Sabathia and the Oakland Athletics overcame the Yankees’ first triple play since 1968 to beat New York 4-2 Thursday.

The A’s managed only four hits but benefited from six walks by Sabathia (2-1) while ending their season-high, three-game losing streak.

Braden (3-0) scattered six hits over six innings. He also engaged in a heated exchange with Yankees star Alex Rodriguez while leaving the field — it was not clear what they argued about, but Braden threw his glove and kicked a stack of paper cups when he went into the dugout.

Rodriguez then helped the Yankees turn an around-thehorn triple play moments later.

Indians 8, Twins 1 MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Mitch Talbot turned in another strong start for Cleveland, and the Indians finally got some hits in an 81 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Thursday.

Talbot (2-1) followed his first major league win, a complete game last weekend against the Chicago White Sox, with six impressive innings. He held the Twins to two hits and no earned runs to keep them from sweeping the threegame series.

The Indians, who were last in the league in batting average and slugging percentage entering this game, matched their season high with eight runs.

day’s 9-8 win over Western Harnett, the Cavaliers had outscored their previous four opponents 36-1.

“We just have to play together,” said Burnett.

“We’ve got to continue to do the things that have helped us win our last five. We’ve got to make smart plays defensively and we have to have smart at-bats. If we play sound baseball, I think we’ll be able to compete with Gray’s Creek.”

Burnett and his coaching staff spent much of Wednesday and Thursday working with the Cavaliers on bunting situations during practice. From what they’ve seen from Gray’s Creek, the Bears make smart decisions at the plate and on the field.

“They play a lot of small ball out there,” said Burnett.

“They pick off quite a bit.

We’ve been really working hard on our bunt coverages so in case we do see it, we’re a little more familiar with it.

Another thing Gray’s Creek does very well is use the element of surprise. They throw things at you that you don’t expect and we’ve spent a lot of time working on those things so that we aren’t surprised when they happen.”

Gray’s Creek is led by center fielder and left-handed pitcher B.B. Browne. Burnett doesn’t expect to see Browne, a UNC-Greensboro

commit whose ERA remains at 0.00, on the mound in tonight’s game.

That’s not to say that he doesn’t expect Browne to a factor.

“He’s their No. 3 hitter and is a heck of a center fielder,” said Burnett about Browne. “He’s one of their key guys and we’ve got to be smart when we face him at the plate.”

Burnett expects Gray’s Creek to start righty Joe Herbert on the mound. So, to combat that, Burnett will be going with Walt Podruchny as his starter. Podruchny has had some prior success against the Bears before and Burnett feels that he gives the Cavaliers the best chance of winning.

Last week, the Cavaliers routed Westover 19-1 at Tramway Athletic Park with Podruchny pacing the team on the mound. Podruchny allowed just two hits in five innings of work.

“Walt’s been on a tear lately and we know that he can do good things for us,” said Burnett. “He’s been successful against this team before. He’s good at finding the strike zone and making the batters he faces work when they’re at bat. We’ve got all the confidence in the world in Walt and he’s got all the confidence in the team behind him. He trusts his teammates to make smart fielding decisions.”

The last time Southern Lee and Gray’s Creek played in March, Brown allowed just one hit in the

Bears’ 1-0 victory in Hope Mills. Southern Lee pitcher Andrew McNeill allowed just two hits in a complete game.

“We match up with this team pretty well,” said Burnett. “Gray’s Creek is a solid baseball team that really knows how to get after it. Their lineup, from top to bottom, can really execute.

But we’ve got to do the things that have helped us be successful. We’re taking things one game at a time and we’re just looking to be 1-0 again after Friday night.”

The Bears currently hold a three-game lead over the Cavaliers and Western Harnett. With a win over the top team in the conference, Burnett feels that the Cavaliers will be one step closer to obtaining their ultimate goal: Winning a state championship.

“A win will keep us moving, that’s for sure,” said Burnett. “We knew that after we dropped a few games early on in the season that it’d be tough to catch up in the conference. Right now, our main goal is to be playing our absolute best baseball at the time the state playoffs begin. We’re trying to keep the momentum in our favor. We’re not worried about what the other teams in our conference are doing, we’re more focused on what we have to do. It’s all about winning a state championship and everything we do from here on out will be a step closer to that goal.”

power threat in Alex Furl (team-highs of four home runs and 17 RBI), then the Jackets might still be able to move up the conference ladder.

“Certainly, if we won our last four, we’d be in, there’s no doubt,” Spivey said. “But we’re not looking ahead that far.

“When you’re facing the caliber of pitching we’ve

been, you have to be better, and we need that to carry over the last two weeks of the season.”

Considering their competition — which includes an April 28 nonconference date with county rival Southern Lee at home — should the Jackets find their way to the postseason, it will have been wellearned.

DEAR ABBY

BRIDGE HAND

College neatnik sacrifices fun for a squeaky clean apartment DEAR ABBY: I have been overly neat since I was in middle school.

I am now in college and feel I have reached the breaking point because I’m such a neat freak. I love having everything neat and tidy, but I now spend less time being a 22-year-old and more time cleaning, scrubbing and organizing.

I can’t sleep if I know there is clutter somewhere in the apartment. I have passed up going out with friends if my apartment isn’t perfect. Everything has a place and a label. It’s getting tiring because I realize I haven’t had any good wholesome fun in a long time. I wish I could relax and be OK with clutter like everyone else, instead of wasting my life cleaning. Any advice?

HOROSCOPES Universal Press Syndicate

Happy Birthday: Emotional deception will play a role in the way you react and the way others treat you this year. Look past what you want and see people for who they are. Center yourself and make the changes that will position you well for the future. Let the facts, not emotions, be your guide.

Your numbers are 3, 10, 17, 25, 27, 36, 45 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Challenge yourself physically to get your heart pumping. Getting together with friends will boost your morale but it will also present you with emotional questions regarding someone you have known for some time. Stay out of an argument. 5 stars TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Allowing yourself to get exhausted will leave you in a vulnerable state mentally, physically and emotionally and could lead to life-altering mistakes. Pamper and protect yourself and learn to say no. 2 stars GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Be a little secretive.

It’s mystery and intrigue that will attract attention.

Use your imagination and you can turn your home into the sanctuary you deserve.

A little will go a long way, so don’t overspend or overdo.

4 stars CANCER (June 21-July 22): Get your responsibilities out of the way so no one has anything to complain about. A couple of alterations at work will position you nicely for advancement. Don’t get bullied into taking care of someone else’s job. 3 stars LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You can face situations with ultimatums or compromise.

You cannot give in but you should meet somewhere in the middle. Don’t bully your way through a situation or you will have to deal with the consequences. 3 stars VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22): Take a trip that will satisfy your curiosity about someone or something that interests you. Taking care of personal needs will bring good results as well as

WORD JUMBLE

compliments from friends, family or your lover. 3 stars LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You may not like what you have to do but, if it means you will secure your position or stabilize your future, it’s in your best interest.

Use your imagination and you will realize the benefits that come along with making a strategic move, even if it does seem disruptive.

3 stars SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Deception will be due to emotional issues.

Whether it’s your not being honest with yourself or someone else withholding information, you must face facts and rectify the problem. Open up and talk candidly. A partnership is stronger than you realize.

4 stars SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Push to get things done and take care of your responsibilities.

You will be successful if you work hard but criticized if you leave things undone or for someone else to complete. A lack of honesty will work against you. 2 stars CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): Pull out all the ammunition and put your plans in motion. What you accomplish now will put you in a position of power among your peers, colleagues and friends.

Believe in yourself and so will everyone around you.

3 stars AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You will not see clearly an emotional situation you face. Expect someone to keep information from you to spare your feelings or to avoid an awkward situation. Don’t let a bad relationship bring out the worst in you. Separate yourself from the people who contribute to your bad habits.

3 stars PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Someone who thinks differently will disapprove of what you are doing if you reveal too much information. Consistency will help you move ahead of the competition. Love is in the stars and is probably a better place to put your energy.

3 stars

DEAR OVERLY ORGANIZED: Yes, I do. March yourself to the student health center and discuss this with a counselor there. When the compulsion to have your apartment “perfect” trumps your ability to enjoy your life, it’s time to accept that you have gone from neat to obsessive. There is treatment for the problem, and once it begins you will be able to relax and let go of your anxiety. So please don’t wait to get the help you need. o DEAR ABBY: I’m a 20-year-old female who has been dating my boyfriend, “Will,” for three years.

Our long-distance relationship

Abigail Van Buren Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

was going along just fine until the topic of his 21st birthday came up recently. Will mentioned in passing that he’s planning on going to a strip club with friends to celebrate this momentous birthday.

Will says he just likes to look at women, that all men do and it’s completely fine. He didn’t seem to care how I felt about it. His mind was already made up. He wants me to be more accepting of who he is, but it turns my stomach to think of him hanging out at a strip club.

Abby, is a young man in a committed relationship going to a strip club to drink and view naked women “normal”? Should I not take this so personally? Or am I right to see this as a lack of commitment to me?

— OFFENDED IN FORT COLLINS, COLO. DEAR OFFENDED: If your boyfriend had attempted to hide his plans from you, or if he was planning on frequenting strip

clubs alone and often, I’d say you should feel threatened. But he was open about going out to celebrate his “momentous” birthday with his friends — and plenty of women have been known to visit clubs with male dancers. So calm down. This has nothing to do with his “commitment” to you. o DEAR ABBY: I am 42 years old and being married for the first time in October. My parents divorced more than 20 years ago and both remarried. My father will walk me down the aisle.

Dad lost my stepmother two years ago, and is still having a hard time with it emotionally. Because of my age, I don’t expect anything from my parents except their emotional support.

If it’s all right with my parents, do you think it would be appropriate to put on the invitations, “In lieu of gifts, please make a donation to the American Cancer Society in memory of (my stepmother’s name)”?

— LOVING DAUGHTER IN ARLINGTON, TEXAS DEAR LOVING DAUGHTER: You are a sweetheart to think of it, but doing so would be a huge breach of etiquette. In fact, any mention of gifts on a wedding invitation is a no-no. The way to handle it is, when asked where you are registered for gifts, to verbally inform the questioner what your wishes are.

Wrong number leads Zambian diplomat to NJ school

was caught after a Columbus Zoo veterinarian hit it with a tranquilizer dart.

WEST ORANGE, N.J. (AP) — Talk about diplomacy.

The Zambian ambassador to the United Nations made a speech Wednesday at New Jersey’s West Orange High School to make amends for dialing the wrong phone number.

In the fall, Ambassador Lazarous Kapambwe was trying to reach a diplomat from Sierra Leone. But the number he dialed was one digit off. He ended up calling Logan Svitzer, a student who was sitting in his U.S. history class at the school.

His teacher, Robbin Sweeney, was so annoyed that she called the number and got the ambassador. She thought it was a prank — and spent 10 minutes on the phone with him to verify who he was.

Complaint: Pa. policewoman sent home for dyed hair PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A Philadelphia police officer says she was sent home from work because of a dispute over her hair color.

Officer Renee Norman filed a discrimination complaint Wednesday with the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission. She says her hair was red but her captain insisted it was purple.

A police department directive on officers’ hairstyles bans “unnatural colors” such as purple, blue and green.

Norman says her supervisor sent her home when she refused to change her hair color. She says she used a commercial dye labeled “crimson.”

Homeless woman charged in Pa. ‘curiosity’ blaze

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Two cows got loose on the Ohio State University campus, leading some students to skip classes to watch a roundup that lasted more than 90 minutes.

Police say the pair of Belted Galloway cows got away Wednesday afternoon as their owner was trying to take them into the university’s veterinary medical center to have their hooves trimmed.

They made their way onto a soccer field, where one of them was lassoed as students cheered “Ole!” The other ran across traffic on a bridge and settled in under a grove of trees. It

ALTOONA, Pa. (AP) — Police said in court papers that a homeless woman who wanted to see “how fast a mattress could burn” set a fire that destroyed a central Pennsylvania apartment building.

Nobody was hurt in Tuesday night’s fire in Altoona, but at least five people were left homeless in the fire allegedly started by 35-year-old woman.

The woman was staying with people she knew when police said she used a lighter to set the fire in the attic of one of two apartments in the building. Police said she acknowledged setting the fire out of curiosity.

Old age is hard, but God is there Q: I’ve always said I’d never go into a nursing home, but after I broke my hip I didn’t have any choice. Why did God let this happen to me?

I’ve always wanted to be independent in my old age, and now I’m not, and I don’t like it. — Mrs. E.S. A: I can understand your frustration; as I’ve grown older, I too have missed the strength and independence I once had. I often think of Jesus’ words to Peter concerning his latter years: “When you are old... someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go” (John 21:18).

Old age inevitably brings limitations to us; they may be delayed in some people, but if we live long enough they’ll catch up with us. That’s simply the way life is, much as we try to fight it or deny it. But the real question is this: How will we deal with this? Will it be with anger and frustration and depression — or will it be with acceptance and contentment, even thanksgiving?

Instead of being resentful toward God and blaming Him for what’s happened to you, I hope instead that you’ll see it as part of God’s plan for this stage of your life. God’s plan isn’t always easy or pleasant — but it’s right, because He knows what’s best for us. It may be hard at first, but take time daily to thank Him for the gift of another day. May you be able to say with Paul, “I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances” (Philippians 4:11).

Above all, turn your mind toward your real home — which is heaven.

Setting an Example In some instances a good example can make a great difference. As children, we learn by the example of those closest to us. As we grow, we live and interact with our peers according to those early observations.

Our future is already greatly influenced while we are still young.

How can we set the best example for our young ones?

There are some instructions in Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Word. In John 13:15, Jesus says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you.â&#x20AC;? And in John 13:34 â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;Ś As I have loved you, so you must love one another.â&#x20AC;?

Wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you like to ensure a better life for yourselves, your children, and the next generation?

You can be a model of good deeds; begin setting the example. Worship as a family this week.
