SANFORD — Like many of the other cats at Carolina Animal Rescue and Adoption, Bella was a homeless cat in need of help. After CARA took her in, Bella’s kittens were all adopted. But two years later, Bella is still there.

Angela Conway, a member of the CARA staff, said it’s a common for kittens to be scooped up while adult cats sometimes remain with the CARA shelter for years. While

Area residents and business owners have formally filed a petition protesting the rezoning over concerns that

at its May 11 meeting.

“It’s like preventive medicine, to help keep these kids on the right track early on,” board member Bryan Ellen Mangum said.

The idea for the program was sparked about four years ago, Mangum said, when the board discovered the amount of time school staff had to spend outside the classroom dealing with repeat behavior problems by children who needed specialized assistance.

The decision is one more step in a “tremendous shift” in recent years to the district’s ability to identify and help students with specialized needs, Exceptional Children’s Director Anne Sessoms said.

This day in history: On June 18, 1940, during World War II, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill urged his countrymen to conduct themselves in a manner that would prompt future generations to say, “This was their finest hour.”

In 1778, American forces entered Philadelphia as the British withdrew during the Revolutionary War. In 1812, the United States declared war against Britain.

In 1815, Napoleon Bonaparte met his Waterloo as British and Prussian troops defeated the French in Belgium.

In 1908, William Howard Taft was nominated for president by the Republican national convention in Chicago.

In 1910, former President Theodore Roosevelt was honored with a ticker-tape parade in New York following his return from visits to Europe and Africa.

Taproot Music begins June 27

PITTSBORO — It’s being called the Taproot Music Series, a sustainable blend of Sunday farm-fresh dinners and Tar Heel music that will pulsate throughout the summer on a meadow stage set in a farm.

The Taproot series is the successor to the former Transmissions Festival, hailed at the time as a leading experimental music festival in North America, but which was last heard almost 10 years ago. Slightly more than four years after returning to North Carolina from Chicago, Keenan McDonald is resurrecting the latest iteration of the event.

The series will be held on Duck Run Farm in Pittsboro, at the end of Johnny Burke Road right past the oak trees and just above the duck ponds. It will offer the farm’s meats and veggies, while musicians and bands from across North Carolina will get together at the outdoor meadow stage for monthly Sunday evening concerts.

The series begins from 6 to 10 p.m. June 27 with music from Pittsboro resident Tom Maxwell and

his band, with Sarah Shook opening. This dinner will be prepared by Posh Nosh Catering of Raleigh and the event is co-sponsored by Carolina Farm Stewardship Association and Country Farm & Home.

Other dates are: ■ July 25 — An evening with Greensboro’s Songs of Water.

■ Aug. 22 — Wilmington’s Big Al and his Marching Rams and Chapel Hill’s Birds and Arrows will be performing.

APEX

Housing project retired: Community opposed plan APEX (MCT) — Plans for a controversial senior housing complex -- a project that had pitted neighbors against developers -- have fallen flat.

Developer Scotts Woods has withdrawn plans to build Providence Green, which would have been a multi-story retirement community in the heart of The Green at Scott’s Mill neighborhood.

The project called for 71 apartments in a four-story building on Providence Green Lane.

David York, an attorney who represented the developer’s land-use interests, said the decision resulted from irreconcilable differences between Scotts Woods and an unnamed company that had planned to purchase the property and build the housing complex.

“There were some contractual issues between the current owners and the proposed buyer that could not be resolved in a timely fashion,” York said.

He declined to elaborate on those differences.

Tom McKay, an Apex lawyer who represented Scotts Woods on the land purchase, could not be reached for comment.

PITTSBORO — Virginia alternative farmer and agricultural writer Joel Salatin shares his expertise in environmental and consumer-friendly farming at a June 30 public forum at Central Carolina Community College’s Chatham Salatin County Campus.

Salatin is a sought-after conference speaker, bringing knowledge, experience and humor to his message of environmentally friendly farming and the importance of local food systems.

His topic will be “Local Food to the Rescue.”

Salatin’s Polyface Farm, in the Shenandoah Valley, demonstrates the potential for local food production and distribution systems to help solve the challenges of biosecurity, food-borne pathogens, energy, integrity, and humane husbandry. He challenges people to rediscover their kitchens, relearn culinary skills and eat seasonally.

The forum is sponsored by the Carolina Farm Stewardship Association, N.C. Tobacco Trust Fund Commission, and the college’s Natural Chef and Sustainable Agriculture programs at the Chatham Campus, 764 West St., Pittsboro.

The event starts at 5:30 p.m. with a tour of the Student Farm. Refreshments will be served in the Multi-Purpose Room in Building 2 at 6:30 p.m., and Salatin will speak at 7 p.m.

Admission is free.

The Salatin family farm, Polyface Inc. (“The Farm of Many Faces”), has been featured in magazines such as Smithsonian, National Geographic, and Gourmet. Salatin has been profiled on ABC World News in its “Lives of the 21st Century” series. He is the author of several books, including, You Can Farm, Pastured Poultry Profits, and Everything I Want to Do Is Illegal. Salatin’s writings on farming also appear in magazines such as Stockman Grass Farmer, Acres USA, and American Agriculturalist.

In 1961, Salatin’s parents, William and Lucille Salatin, moved their family to a worn-out, eroded farm in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley. Through environmentally friendly farming methods, they transformed it into one that the Polyface web site (www.polyface-

farms.com) describes as, “America’s premier nonindustrial food production oasis.” Salatin has continued and expanded the work started by his parents.

The farm’s mission, according to the Web site, is “to develop emotionally, economically, environmentally enhancing agricultural enterprises and facilitate their duplication throughout the world.”

Polyface currently services more than 3,000 families, 10 retail outlets, and 50 restaurants with meat, eggs and lumber through on-farm sales and metropolitan buying clubs.

For more information about Salatin’s appearance at Central Carolina C.C., call the Chatham Campus at (919) 542-6495. For more information, visit www. cccc.edu/naturalchef or www.cccc.edu/sustainableag.

‘Junebug’ screening to include writer The Durham Herald-Sun

— Cary News

PITTSBORO — ChathamArts Sustainable Cinema Series presents a special screening of the indie hit “Junebug” with screenplay writer Angus MacLachlan at 8 p.m. June 29 at Fearrington Village on U.S. 15-501 in Chatham County midway between Pittsboro and Chapel Hill.

A pre-screening party starts 6:30 p.m. at Fearrington’s Roost beer garden with acoustic pop/local folk artists Nikki Meets the Hibachi.

Fearrington is offering a special summer picnic dinner for party guests. Reservations are recommended at www.chathamarts.org for a discounted price of $12. The movie screens in the Fearrington Village Barn. Admission is $5 at the door.

The critically acclaimed independent film “Junebug” (Rated R, 1 hour, 47 minutes), directed by Phil Morrison, was filmed

in Forsyth County.

Entertainment Weekly critic Roger Ebert and the film festivals at Sundance and Cannes have praised the rendering of a middle class Southern family home altered by the visitation of a son’s new gallerista wife, there to court a deal with a local “outsider” artist. Amy Adams portrays the very pregnant and enthusiastic sister-in-law, a role that garnered several supporting actress awards and an Academy Award nomination.

MacLachlan will be attending the pre-screening party and a question-andanswer session after the film. MacLachlan recently adapted one of his plays into the film “STONE,” which is directed by John Curran, stars Robert De Niro, Milla Jovovich, and Edward Norton and is set for release later this year.

His plays have been produced mostly regionally, but also played off Broadway, at the Kennedy Center

We should all pay our fair share of taxes Winston-Salem Journal

T

he state Senate is trying to make it easier for big interstate and international companies to avoid paying their fair share of taxes in North Carolina.

The Senate budget, incredibly, would restrict how state tax collectors can pursue companies that shift income to reduce what they say they owe here. Individual taxpayers can’t get away with such a thing, nor can small businesses. But big businesses, with operations in many locales and sophisticated, highly paid tax consultants, certainly try.

For years, North Carolina has been pursuing businesses for such practices and has won high-profile cases against some major retailers. In other cases, the companies settle with North Carolina once the state’s auditors demonstrate they know what the companies were doing and how it was illegal. One of the biggest reasons the companies settle is that the Department of Revenue is empowered to waive or reduce some fees.

Last year, this very kind of negotiating led to a revenue windfall for the state. The department collected $277 million above expectations.

Everyone should pay the taxes they owe.

The Senate should not be helping these companies avoid paying their fair share.

The House and Senate have both penciled in another $110 million in such collections for the fiscal year that begins on July 1.

Regardless of that anticipated $110 million, the Senate budget also calls for taking away the department’s lever-

age. The key sponsor of the move, Mecklenburg Democratic Sen. Dan Clodfelter, says it’s only fair. There should be clear rules as to what constitutes shifting, and the state doesn’t have them.

That sounds reasonable, until one considers how complex these transactions are. The state cannot be expected to anticipate every possible shift and transfer these companies might make.

The bottom line here is that state law says they can’t shift money around, that they must pay taxes on the income they generate here in North Carolina.

Clodfelter filed a separate bill that would also take away the Department of Revenue’s authority to assess tax penalties in these cases. That has led to a more open discussion of what this means to the budget and other North Carolina taxpayers. We hope that greater public awareness of the measure will lead to its defeat as a separate bill and its removal from the budget that is finally approved by the General Assembly.

Everyone should pay the taxes they owe. The Senate should not be helping these companies avoid paying their fair share.

Retirement shuffle

I

t’s hardly a new phenomenon.

A college administrator gets a big boost in pay, and a year later announces his or her retirement. A longtime legislator resigns to take a high-paying position within state government for a year or two. A well-connected bureaucrat near retirement age makes a jump from one state agency to another at a nice little pay hike.

Typically, these moves aren’t about finding a more satisfying position or being rewarded for hard work. Far too often, this state government shuffle is about the politically-connected boosting their retirement benefits as they near the end of their government careers.

Dan Kane of The News & Observer of Raleigh recently explored one of those moves. He reported on how Charles Franklin, the longtime director of the troubled Albemarle Mental Health Center, became the highest paid state pensioner at $211,373.

Franklin was fired last year after a state audit uncovered financial mismanagement. By then, he was working on a contract basis, earning $319,000.

According to the newspaper, Franklin’s higher contract pay was used to calculate his current retirement.

The formula that led to the lucrative annual benefit pays state retirees based on their four highest-earning consecutive years of state employment.

Employees who work for 30 years in state government can receive nearly 55 percent of the average of those four highest years.

So, when someone in state government receives a 50-percent pay increase over their final two years, the bigger effect on state finances is not during those two years. It’s afterward, as their retirement is paid out over the rest of their lives.

That retirement comes from the state’s $67 billion pension fund. Sounds like a lot of money, right? It is. But after the financial collapse of 2008, the state pension fund was no longer considered fully funded ...

The reason that the system’s funding and the abuses of the system — those cushy, high-paying jobs or fat raises — should alarm North Carolinians who aren’t state employees is because they’ll be making up the difference.

In the coming fiscal year, taxpayers will put at least $160 million into the state pension fund to try to make up for investment losses in 2007 and 2008.

State Treasurer Janet Cowell says the fund actually needs $440 million this year, as well as hefty contributions in future years, to get back to the fullyfunded level.

But here’s a question for policymakers: Why should taxpayers care about making the system whole if others in state government are punching holes in it by rewarding cronies?

Perhaps the time has come to rework the retirement formula by basing benefits on median years of pay, instead of highest earnings. It ought to be possible to do so without lowering the benefits of the vast majority of state employees and retirees.

Assault on liberty

I

cannot be the only one who feels as if every new day brings a new assault on this nation and its people by this administration. ...

Some of these assaults occur under the radar, and others are right out in the open.

As an example of the former, last week, President Obama issued an executive order “Establishing the National Prevention, Health Promotion, and Public Health Council,” which will focus on “lifestyle behavior modification (including smoking cessation, proper nutrition, appropriate exercise, mental health, behavioral health, substance-use disorder, and domestic violence screenings).”

It will even recommend changes in federal policy to reduce “sedentary behavior.”

The order also creates an advisory group within the Department of Health and Human Services that will answer to the surgeon general, who will serve as the chairwoman of the council.

In case you’re wondering what authority the president launched this program under, he covers that in the first paragraph of the executive order: “By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including section 4001 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Public Law 111-148), it is hereby ordered...”

In other words, “I am the president, and the Constitution and Obamacare let me do anything I want to.”

The socialized medicine nightmare is already beginning. Many of us warned that Obamacare would serve as an all-purpose justification for government intervention in every aspect of our lives. Have we become so far removed from our founding principles that we don’t grasp the perniciousness of such government encroachments into our private lives and personal liberties?

You must read the executive order: http:// www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/executive-order-establishing-national-prevention-health-promotion-and-public-health.

Then you’ll understand that the council and “Advisory Group” it establishes will not be merely advisory. The provisions of this “order” underscore the disturbing extent to which Obama and his band of authoritarians intend to control our lives.

The “Advisory Group,” in consultation with the council, must submit, by March 23, 2011, a “national strategy” to “set specific goals and objectives for improving the health of the United States through federally supported prevention, health promotion, and public health programs, consistent with ongoing goal setting efforts conducted by specific agencies.”

The council, among other things, will “develop, after obtaining input from relevant stakeholders,” a strategy to promote health and prevent disease. Relevant stakeholders?

Under this administration — and every administration that follows, now that socialized medicine has enveloped our society

David Limbaugh Syndicated Columnist David Limbaugh can be reached by e-mail at david@davidlimbaugh.com

— will everything be reduced to a calculation of dollars and cents? Will we tolerate any manner of government control over the most minute aspects of our lives under the rationale that we have to improve our lifestyles to get healthier so that health care costs don’t bankrupt us? Does liberty mean nothing to us anymore?

If the abstract concept of liberty doesn’t rock your boat, how about a little common sense? If Obama had been primarily interested in reducing health care costs, he would have introduced market solutions instead of a bill guaranteed to add enormously to the national debt — about which this administration egregiously and repeatedly lied. More information is surfacing every day proving that the bill will cost billions more than Obama claimed. He may end up imposing cost controls under Obamacare, but if he does, you can be assured that they will be at the expense of quality care, especially for seniors.

Lifestyle behavior modification is none of the government’s business, but it is even less the prerogative of a renegade, unaccountable executive acting outside the law through unconstitutional executive orders.

On that point, by the way, please check out Section 3G, which provides that the council will “carry out such other activities as are determined appropriate by the President.”

No limitations, just whatever this omniscient president determines is appropriate.

There is no excuse — none — for any existing or prospective congressman to fail to comprehend the magnitude of the revolution that is now occurring inside our government.

Any candidate who downplays or whitewashes the gravity of the ongoing assaults against our liberties must be defeated. Any congressman who suggests we can just tinker around at the edges of Obamacare and strip away its most noxious provisions — as opposed to “repeal and replace” — must be defeated.

Today’s Prayer He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you in His love. (Zephaniah 3:17) PRAYER: Father, we thank You for loving us, even when we are unlovable. Amen.

To the Editor: It’s hard to believe that community leaders elected and appointed to promote educational excellence would sabotage the students they’re supposed to serve, but that’s precisely what the Chatham County Board of Education has done.

Despite knowing about the potential conflict, the board has scheduled next year’s spring break immediately before Advanced Placement exams — meaning high school sophomores, juniors and seniors will return after 10 days away from the classroom and walk straight into college-level finals.

Students will have no chance to get back into their academic routines, attend review sessions or get last-minute advice from teachers.

Quite simply, the board of education has failed. It could cost some of our students college credit, much-needed flexibility later in their education and a lot of money, since credit from AP exams allows many families to avoid paying for courses later.

All the board needed to do was schedule the break the week before Easter, as many school systems already do, a very minor change to accommodate next year’s later holiday.

It’s not acceptable to use the excuse that “we’ve always done it like that” or “most people wanted it that way.”

That may be fine when there’s no educational interest in play, but never when there’s a compelling instructional reason to choose one option over another. You can imagine the board’s response if “most people” wanted to be out of school the week before End of Grade tests.

Decisions like these reverberate far beyond the many students now facing important exams without the opportunity to prepare adequately.

After all, it’s awfully hard to convince relocating families and businesses that Chatham County has a quality school system when student achievement clearly doesn’t matter.

Rezoning Continued from Page 1A

not all of the wide swath of uses that would be available under general commercial zoning to property owner Carolyn Murchison, a Vass resident, would fit in the community.

The zoning designation allows for dozens of different structures, including restaurants, pharmacies, gas stations, grocery stores and more.

Murchison, who said the 1.39 acres of property has never been on the market, said she wants the parcels rezoned for commercial like much of the land on Westover Drive in hopes of increasing its sale value.

Nearby businesses include an animal hospital, a steak restaurant, a motel and offices.

The rezoning was initially brought to the city in April 2009 by Murchison’s husband, who has since died. The issue came before the City Council in January and March, but leaders delayed discussions both times before it came up for consideration once again this week.

City Council members called on Murchison Tuesday to settle the conflict and bring her request

the new program by their current school on a caseby-case basis, based on the student’s academic, social, behavioral and emotional history. The district plans to partner with mental health resources in the area to offer specialized treatment based on each student’s needs.

No budget figures were presented to the board at the board’s May meeting, Mangum said. The cost is expected to be “minimal,” Assistant Superintendent Andy Bryan said, because the facility already has an administrator and there will be no newly funded teaching positions.

Warren Williams currently holds the More at Four, Even Start and Little Lee Learning Center programs. Mobile units have already been moved on campus to be used for day treatment staff offices, while the new program will occupy the second building of the site.

Enrollment will be capped at 20 students, with four teachers and four teacher assistants on site. The idea is for children to spend 6-18

back before the panel.

“You need to get together with neighbors to straighten this up,” said Councilman L.I. “Poly” Cohen. “But it needs to be zoned commercial.”

City planning leaders say a commercial designation fits with Sanford’s long-term land use goals for the area.

Still, passage of Murchison’s request with the City Council would require a “supermajority,” or six out of seven “yes” votes, due to the official protest petition from nearby landowners, said Marshall Downey, Sanford assistant director of planning and development.

Downey said official protests are only recognized in cases that involve property owners directly adjoining the land.

One of those protesters is Ron Myres of the nearby Myres Animal Hospital.

Myres said he owns a rental home and a trailer near Murchison’s property and he is concerned about the potential impact some types of businesses would have on the community.

“If some type of business was inappropriate and a family didn’t want to live there, I might lose a renter,” he said.

Myres said many of

months in the program, then head back to their regular school.

“The earlier you help a child deal with whatever issues they’re having, the more likely they are to be successful in the future,” Warren Williams Site Coordinator Silvia Bayer said.

those area residents and property owners disputing the rezoning are not against all commercial development, just development that would clash with its surroundings.

“There would be some things that would not actually blend in,” he said.

City officials have indicated a conditional zoning designation might be best for the Murchison property, pointing out that conditional districts allow property owners to negotiate the details of development plans and narrow down the potential uses for land during the permitting process, rather than obtaining the general commercial status of much of the property on Westover Drive.

Downey said some of the difficulty surrounding the Murchison dispute has been that the owner does not have a specific use planned, only the hopes of raising the property’s sale value.

“It’s almost impossible to apply conditional zoning because we don’t know who’s going to develop the property,” Downey said.

Myres said Murchison should sell the land to a business with appropriate plans with the contingency that the property will be rezoned later.

But Murchison com-

plained that she is being held to a different standard than those property owners surrounding her two parcels.

Those landowners are allowed to sell their land and use it for a variety of purposes, she said, but the ongoing squabbling now has limited her ability to market the parcels.

“If you were looking for a piece of commercial property, which one would you look at first?”

Murchison said. “The one that is residential or the one that is commercial?”

Murchison added that she has no intent to support development that doesn’t fit in the area.

Council members did not go into detail on whether they supported the project or not this week, but Councilman Sam Gaskins said officials would be quicker to vote in favor if additional details were made available.

Murchison agreed to hold off on her request Tuesday after City Attorney Susan Patterson said the process would be delayed at least a year if passage didn’t come with a supermajority of council members.

City regulations require a yearlong delay before the Council will consider a rezoning that is “substantially similar” to another failed request, Patterson said.

adult cats usually have a $100 adoption free, through the month of June, cats more than 1 year old can be adopted for $25.

“With an adult cat, you know their personality right away,” Conway said. “They’re just as loving and friendly and playful as the kittens.”

June is recognized as Adopt-a-Cat Month nationwide, but at CARA, only three cats have been adopted this month so far. The CARA shelter still has 12 adult cats waiting for homes, including 8-year-old Coal.

“He was the lifelong cat of a woman, but she passed away from cancer,” CARA’s Abbey Lindauer said. “And as soon as she passed away, her husband received orders to deploy.”

Another cat, Maudie, was brought to CARA as a stray. She is almost 4 years old and has been with CARA for about a year. Lindauer said a benefit to adopting adult cats is that they can be less unpredictable than adopting kittens.

“With the older cats, their personalities are not as rambunctious,” Lindauer said. “They’re not going to be knocking stuff off counters and eating toiler paper rolls.”

All of the cats at CARA have been spayed, neutered and microchipped and are up to date on their shots.

Some of them are at the CARA shelter, but others are at the Petsmart

in Apex. Conway said CARA will also be promoting Adopt-aCat Month at Putts for Mutts, CARA’s annual golf tournament, on Saturday.

“They all just want a home and some human companionship,” Conway said.

After Adopt-a-Cat Month ends, Lindauer said she thinks it is still important that people looking for a new pet choose adoption.

“Animals that are in pet stores have been bred for a profit,” Lindauer said. “The ones that are in shelters are usually people’s pets that have become homeless through no fault of their own.”

Conway said working at CARA has opened her eyes to how many animals are without homes. According to the American Humane Association, about 4 million cats end up in shelters every year.

“It makes you wonder if everyone rescued one animal, how many would be left,” Conway said.

STATE BRIEFS

Senate takes steps to expand ban

By GARY D. ROBERTSON Associated Press Writer

RALEIGH â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The state Senate continued Thursday its decade-long offensive against video gambling machines in North Carolina by rolling out a bill designed to make clear a 2006 video poker ban includes an alternate form of the games spreading to hundreds of locations statewide.

A Senate judiciary committee recommended Thursday a bill that would bar electronic and computer-based devices springing up at new â&#x20AC;&#x153;sweepstakes cafesâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;business centersâ&#x20AC;? where customers buy Internet or phone time. Customers can play games and win cash and prizes.

Police and sheriffs have wanted to shut down the machines using the 2006 prohibition, but judges in three counties have sided with game distributors who say the video screens arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t covered by the ban.

Those cases are pending. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is one of those e times we need your help.

We need your support,â&#x20AC;?

Cumberland County

Sheriff Moose Butler told the committee in urging senators to toughen the existing ban.

Senate leader Marc Basnight led a chorus of senators, law enforcement officers and religious leaders at a news conference late Thursday vowing to extend the ban, agreeing the new games are addictive to players who are losing their hard-earned money and leaving pain, suffering and crime in its wake. The full Senate, which approved video poker bans five times last decade, will debate the latest bill Monday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is like video poker on steroids,â&#x20AC;?

Senate Majority Leader Martin Nesbitt, D-Buncombe, told reporters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just absolutely no redeeming quality to this stuff.â&#x20AC;?

Bill advocates say the court rulings have galvanized the industry, creating 600 gaming locations cropping up in strip malls in low-income areas to country crossroads.

Store operators want the state to regulate the industry rather than ban it, saying such controls

could ultimately generate $500 million annually in taxes and other revenues. Operators and players sent e-mails to lawmakers urging them to oppose the new bill.

As many as 10,000 industry-related jobs could be lost if the â&#x20AC;&#x153;sweepstakesâ&#x20AC;? machines are banned, said Garrett Blackwelder, president of Figure Eight Technologies in Greenville, which provides sweepstakes software to 88 Internet cafes in North Carolina hiring more than 600 people alone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We ban this and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to go on unemployment,â&#x20AC;? Blackwelder told the committee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would like to see some tax or regulation.

The state could make a ton of money.â&#x20AC;?

The bill, if approved next week in the Senate, would go to the House, where Democrats in control of the chamber arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t unified on the issue, according to Majority Leader Hugh Holliman, D-Davidson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think it will be fast-tracked over here,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Rep. Earl Jones, DGuilford, who has a bill

that would make operators pay 20 percent of the money in the machines to the state, said the measure approved Thursday will destroy jobs and take away a form of casual entertainment from residents while the North Carolina Education Lottery is allowed to continue, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s simple gaming activity no different from the education lottery,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Sweepstakes machines are very different than the 5-year-old lottery, said Sen. Josh Stein, D-Wake, who is shepherding the bill through the Senate. The dozens of computer screens enable problem gamblers because winning and losing only require a few clicks, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re wreaking havoc on North Carolina families and North Carolina communities,â&#x20AC;?

Stein said.

Stein said the legislation was drawn up to keep legal arcade games and marketing games by soft-drink companies and other retailers that require the consumer to type in a code at a companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Web site.

INCENTIVES

Business breaks worth $300M passes House

By EMERY P. DALESIO Associated Press Writer

RALEIGH â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Tax breaks for airlines, NASCAR race teams, and paper factories drew barely a mention, but a $300 million bundle of business sweeteners drew opposition Thursday to subsidizing the salaries of Tom Cruise and other movie stars.

Still, attempts to trim the collection of inducements for business and job growth failed before the state House tentatively approved the legislation 76-28. A final House vote is expected Monday.

The incentives package also includes breaks aimed at attracting two computer data centers, an energy turbine manufacturer, and a plant

converting wood pulp to paper. If all the unnamed companies moved into the state, they would combine for more than 1,500 jobs and nearly $2 billion in investment, lawmakers said.

Legislative fiscal analysts estimated the bill collecting most of the yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposed business breaks would cost $300 million in uncollected taxes in the next five years.

One provision would allow the salaries of star actors and directors to count toward the amount movie and television producers could write off their North Carolina taxes, up to a maximum per feature film raised from $7.5 million to $20 million.

But opponents argued that the provision could

mean a multi-milliondollar refund check from taxpayers for producers who manage to avoid owing North Carolina taxes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re subsidizing superstars,â&#x20AC;? said Rep. Paul Luebke, D-Durham.

Lawmakers including Rep. Edgar Starnes, RCaldwell, said it was insulting to offer tax breaks on moviestar salaries at a time when recession is forcing cuts in education and human services and unemployment is 10.8 percent statewide.

But Rep. Frank Iler, R-Brunswick, and others said more would become jobless if productions donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t return to employ the technicians, electricians and caterers concentrated in Wilmington.

The expanded film incentives are an uncomfortable break from the existing $1 million limit per individualâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s salary, but the industry has been withering in North Carolina under competi-

tion from juicier inducements offered by other states, said Rep. Pryor Gibson, D-Anson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The chances of us getting the highly paid actors is slim, but we really want the productions,â&#x20AC;? said Rep. Bill Owens, D-Pasquotank. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to get North Carolina back on the map for these productions.â&#x20AC;?

Fewer major Hollywood movies have films in North Carolina since 2008â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nights in Rodantheâ&#x20AC;? with Richard Gere and Diane Lane and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Leatherheadsâ&#x20AC;? with George Clooney and Renee Zellweger.

Movie and TV projects spent $67 million in North Carolina on goods, services and salaries in 2007, $148 million in 2008 and $55 million in 2009, according to state Revenue Department records showing producers claimed $44 million in tax credits in those three years.

Ex-N.C. commerce, DOT secretaries visit courthouse RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Two former Cabinet secretaries in Mike Easleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s administration have visited the courthouse where federal grand jurors have been meeting for over a year examining activities surrounding North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ex-governor.

Former Transportation Secretary Lyndo Tippett declined to comment when he left the Raleigh federal building late Thursday afternoon with his attorney. Tippett acknowledged last month he had been served with a subpoena.

Multiple media outlets also reported ex-Commerce Secretary Jim Fain left the building earlier Thursday. Fain said he had business at the courthouse.

A subpoena served on the Department of Transportation last month sought information about Tippett and nearly two dozen other individuals and organizations.

Easley hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been charged with any crimes.

Raleighâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amphitheater wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take beerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s liquor commission rejected wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow Raleigh to name its new 5,500-seat amphitheater after a beer brand.

Multiple media outlets reported Thursday that the Alcohol and Beverage Control Commission rejected an exemption to state law that would have allowed the venue to be named after Bud Light.

A beer distributor had offered the city $1.5 million over five years for the naming rights.

The ABC Commission decided naming the facility for an alcohol product would set a precedent in the state.

State alcohol laws set rules for how alcohol is sold, bought and advertised. The statutes prevent governments from giving the appearance of endorsing alcohol.

The capital city opened the amphitheater this month to help boost business downtown.

Prosecutor faces 9 misdemeanor charges RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The former prosecutor of two North Carolina counties has been charged with nine misdemeanors, most of which accuse him of assaulting women.

State Attorney General Roy Cooperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office announced

Thursday that Joel Brewer also faces misdemeanor counts of impersonating a police officer and willfully failing to discharge his duties.

Brewer had served as district attorney in Person and Caswell counties from 1994 until earlier this year, when the State Bureau of Investigation began an inquiry into allegations that he pretended to be a law enforcement officer.

A call to Brewerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lawyer was not immediately returned. A hearing has been scheduled for July 8.

Requests for comment on details of the charges were not immediately answered by a Cooper spokeswoman.

Graduation project elimination bill sent to Perdue RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Legislature has agreed to eliminate a requirement that all high school students in North Carolina complete a graduation project to get a diploma.

The Senate voted unanimously Thursday in favor of the measure that would stop the projects from being a statewide prerequisite for graduation. The House approved it two weeks ago.

It now goes to Gov. Beverly Perdue for her signature.

The statewide requirement had been slated to take effect in 2012.

Seniors already complete the projects in some school districts. The bill gives districts the option to require the projects.

Researchers for a watchdog panel said they found no evidence the projects improve student education and would cost more than $6 million to carry out.

Special Ops. medical school has new commander FORT BRAGG (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The North Carolina-based unit tasked with training special operations medics has a new commander.

Col. Robert Lutz took command of the Special Warfare Medical Group on Thursday.

The ceremony took place at Fort Braggâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s John F. Kennedy Plaza.

The unit trains special operations medics from the Army, Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps and is part of the U.S. Army John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School. The center trains the Armyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s special operations units, including the Green Berets.

Lutz previously served as the U.S. Army Special Operations Commandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Deputy Surgeon. He took over command from Col. Jeffrey Kingsbury.

NATION BRIEFS Times Square car bomb suspect indicted in NYC

New jobless claims up sharply

Toy soldiers run afoul of schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s weapons ban

housing market weighed on the Conference Boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading economic index, while measures related to interest rates and an increasing amount of money in the economy tugged it higher. The index is designed to forecast activity in the next three to six months.

Still, layoffs remain one of the biggest concerns for the recovery.

Just this week, casino owner Wynn Resorts laid off more than 260 workers in its two Las Vegas casino hotels in a move expected to save nearly $8 million.

Julia Coronado, senior U.S. economist with BNP Paribas in New York, said current economic conditions suggest initial claims will stay at around 450,000 for some time. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because weaker segments of the economy are shedding jobs while stronger sectors are hiring.

Economists have said they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect to see sustained job creation until first-time jobless claims drop below 425,000 per week.

The number of people continuing to claim benefits rose by 88,000 to 4.57 million. That doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t include about 5.2 million people who receive extended benefits paid for by the federal government.

NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Times Square bomb suspect Faisal Shahzad (FYâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;-sul shahZAHDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;) has been indicted in the May 1 botched car bombing in New York.

An indictment filed in New York on Thursday charges Shahzad with 10 terrorism and weapons charges, adding five counts to the original case against him.

The 30-year-old Shahzad is charged with attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction among several terrorism and weapons charges.

The Pakistan-born U.S. citizen was arrested two days after his smoking SUV was found with a homemade gasoline-and-propane bomb that failed to ignite.

Authorities say he cooperated with investigators for two weeks before he asked for a lawyer.

DA says Mass. man left notes admitting he killed his family

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Christan Morales said her son just wanted to honor American troops when he wore a hat to school decorated with an American flag and small plastic Army figures.

But the school banned the hat because it ran afoul of the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s zero-tolerance weapons policy. Why? The toy soldiers were carrying tiny guns.

Moralesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 8-year-old son, David, had been assigned to make a hat for the day when his second-grade class would meet their pen pals from another school.

She and her son came up with an idea to add patriotic decorations to a camouflage hat.

Earlier this week, after the hat was banned, the principal at the Tiogue School in Coventry told the family that the hat would be fine if David replaced the Army men holding weapons with ones that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any, according to Superintendent Kenneth R. Di Pietro.

Stocks eke out gain after downbeat economic data

WOBURN, Mass. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A man charged with killing his wife, two young children and mother-in-law left behind notes in their suburban Boston home admitting to the savage, bloody slayings, authorities said Thursday.

Thomas Mortimer IV, 43, was captured Thursday by police in northwestern Massachusetts hours after he was charged with four counts of first-degree murder.

The bodies of his wife, Laura Stone Mortimer, a 41-year-old economist; their 4-year-old son, Thomas Mortimer V, who was known as Finn; their 2-year-old daughter, Charlotte; and his wifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 64-year-old mother, Ellen Stone, were found Wednesday at their in home in Winchester, an upper-middle-class community north of Boston.

NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The stock market managed a slender gain Thursday after traders shook off a pair of disappointing economic reports.

Traders began buying late in the session, although without the vehemence that has marked other final-hour moves in recent weeks.

The Dow Jones industrial average closed up about 24 points after falling 90 early in the day, and scored its first three-day advance since April. The Standard & Poorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 500 and Nasdaq composite indexes both rose a little more than a point.

Treasury prices rose, pushing down interest rates, and gold closed at a record high.

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The number of people filing new claims for jobless benefits jumped last week after three straight declines, another sign that the pace of layoffs has not slowed.

Initial claims for jobless benefits rose by 12,000 to a seasonally adjusted 472,000, the Labor Department said Thursday. It was the highest level in a month and overshadowed a report that showed consumer prices remain essentially flat.

The rise in jobless claims highlighted concerns about the economic rebound â&#x20AC;&#x201D; especially after a report earlier this week said home construction plunged in May after government tax credits expired.

If layoffs persist, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a concern that the June employment numbers may show a decline in private-sector jobs after five straight months of gains, said Jennifer Lee, an economist with BMO Capital Markets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve definitely seen the economic recovery hit a wall,â&#x20AC;? Lee said.

First-time jobless claims have hovered near 450,000 since the beginning of the year after falling steadily in the second half of 2009. That has raised concerns that hiring is lackluster and could

Additionally, the Commerce Department said Thursday that the broadest measure of U.S. trade rose during the first quarter to the highest point in more than a year. Much of the widening deficit was due to higher prices on imported oil during the first three months of the year. Those prices have since come down.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s down by 3,750 from the start of January.

NATION BRIEFS

BP exec pilloried by lawmakers

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Channeling the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anger, lawmakers pilloried BPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boss in a withering day of judgment Thursday for the oil company at the center of the Gulf calamity. Unflinching, BP chief executive Tony Hayward said he was out of the loop on decisions at the well and coolly asserted, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not stonewalling.â&#x20AC;?

That infuriated members of Congress even more, Democrats and Republicans alike.

Testifying as oil still surged into the Gulf of Mexico and coated ever more coastal land and marshes, Hayward declared â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am so devastated with this accident,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;deeply sorryâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;so distraught.â&#x20AC;?

Yet the oil man disclaimed knowledge of any of the myriad problems on and under the Deepwater Horizon rig before the deadly explosion, telling a congressional hearing he had only heard about the well earlier in April, the month of the accident, when the BP drilling team told him it had found oil. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With respect, sir, we drill hundreds of wells a year around the world,â&#x20AC;?

Hayward told Republican Rep. Michael Burgess of Texas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes, I know,â&#x20AC;? Burgess shot back. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what scaring me right now.â&#x20AC;?

Phil Gingrey, R-Ga., told the CEO: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re copping out. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the captain of the ship.â&#x20AC;? Democrats were similarly, if more predictably, livid. â&#x20AC;&#x153;BP blew it,â&#x20AC;? said Rep. Bart Stupak, D-Mich., chairman of the House investigations panel that held the hearing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You cut corners to save money and

BP CEO Tony Hayward testifies on Capitol Hill in Washington Thursday before the House Oversight and Investigations subcommittee hearing on â&#x20AC;&#x153;the role of BP in the Deepwater Horizon Explosion and oil spill. time.â&#x20AC;?

The verbal onslaught had been anticipated for days and unfolded at a nearly relentless pace.

But in a jarring departure that caught fellow Republicans by surprise, Rep. Joe Barton, top GOP member of the panel, used his opening statement to apologize â&#x20AC;&#x201D; twice â&#x20AC;&#x201D; for the pressure put on the company by President Barack Obama to contribute to a compensation fund for people in the afflicted Gulf of Mexico states.

Barton said the U.S. has â&#x20AC;&#x153;a due process systemâ&#x20AC;? to assess such damages, and he decried the $20 billion fund that BP agreed to Wednesday at the White House as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;shakedownâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;slush fund.â&#x20AC;? He told Hayward, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not speaking for anybody else. But I apologize.â&#x20AC;?

He later retracted his apologies to BP, then apologized anew â&#x20AC;&#x201D; this time for calling the fund a â&#x20AC;&#x153;shake-

primary efforts in the Gulf focused on stopping the leak, there was little chance the nation would learn much from Haywardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appearance about what caused the disaster. Yet even modest expectations were not met as the CEO told lawmakers at every turn that he was not tuned in to operations at the well.

down.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;BP should bear the full financial responsibility for the accident,â&#x20AC;? he said, and â&#x20AC;&#x153;fully compensate those families and businesses that have been hurt by this accident.â&#x20AC;?

Bartonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s earlier remarks were clearly an embarrassment for the party. House Republican leaders John Boehner, Eric Cantor and Mike Pence issued a statement asserting: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Congressman Bartonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s statements this morning were wrong.

BP itself has acknowledged that responsibility for the economic damages lies with them and has offered an initial pledge of $20 billion dollars for that purpose.â&#x20AC;?

Since 1990, oil and gas industry political action committees and employees have given more than $1.4 million to Bartonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaigns, the most of any House member during that period, according to the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics.

With multiple investigations continuing and

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sorry now?

Rep. Joe Barton, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s who.

The Texas Republican, the Houseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top recipient of oil industry campaign contributions since 1990, apologized Thursday for apologizing to the chief of the British company that befouled the Gulf of Mexico with a massive oil spill.

His double mea culpa plus a retraction, executed under pressure from fuming GOP leaders, succeeded in shifting attention from the tragedy, BPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s many missteps and the stoic British oil chief at the witness table, to his own partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s close connection to the oil industry.

Barton started the ruckus at midmorning when he took aim at the $20 billion relief fund for victims of the spill sought by the White House and agreed to

by BP. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I apologize,â&#x20AC;? Barton said to BP CEO Tony Hayward, who was sitting at a witness table for another of Congressâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ritual floggings of wayward corporate heads.

House votes for $30B small business fund WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A $30 billion government fund would be available to community banks to increase lending to small businesses under a bill passed by the House Thursday as congressional Democrats tried to revive their election-year jobs agenda.

House Democrats projected that banks would use the fund to leverage up to $300 billion in loans to small businesses, helping to loosen tight credit markets. Republicans called the bill another bank bailout that would do little to increase lending to small businesses.

The bill passed by a vote of 241-182 as congressional Democrats struggled to balance election-year concerns about high unemployment with voter complaints about the rising national debt. Only three Republicans voted for the bill.

The bill now goes to the Senate, where Democrats tried to round up support for legislation to renew pieces of last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economic stimulus bill. The measure would combine jobless aid for the long-term unemployed, aid to cash-strapped state governments and the renewal of dozens of popular tax breaks for businesses and individuals.

Poll: Public thumbs up for Obama health law WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The vital signs are improving for President Barack Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health care plan.

The latest Associated PressGfK poll on Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top domestic achievement finds support for the new overhaul has risen to its highest point since the survey started asking people about it in September â&#x20AC;&#x201D; six months before it became law.

The results now: 45 percent in favor, 42 percent opposed.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a significant shift in public sentiment considering that opposition hit 50 percent after Obama signed the health plan into law in late March and that in May, supporters were outnumbered 39 percent to 46 percent.

The poll found support increased since May among men (from 36 percent to 46 percent), people in their

prime working years (from 35 percent to 49 percent among 30-49 year-olds) and Republicans (from 8 percent to 17 percent.) The uptick among Republicans comes even as party leaders are calling for the lawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s repeal.

FDA panel backs new morning after contraceptive

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Federal health experts said Thursday a new type of morningafter contraceptive that works longer than existing drugs is safe and effective.

The Food and Drug Administrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s panel of reproductive health experts voted unanimously that the pill ellaOne successfully reduces the chance of pregnancy up to five days after sex. Plan B, the most widely used emergency contraceptive pill, is only effective if women take it within three days of sex.

In a separate vote the panel unanimously ruled that the drug appeared safe, according to an FDA spokeswoman.

The positive recommendation moves the pill, which is already approved in Europe, one step closer to the U.S. market. The FDA is not required to follow the panelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advice, though it often does.

Utah to execute condemned killer by firing squad SALT LAKE CITY (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Utah is set to execute a condemned killer by firing squad shortly after midnight Thursday, reviving a style of justice that hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been used for at least 14 years and that many criticize as archaic.

Barring the success of any final appeals, Ronnie Lee Gardner will be strapped into a chair, have a target pinned over his heart and die in a hail of bullets from five anonymous marksmen armed with .30-caliber rifles and firing from behind a ported wall.

The 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver denied Gardnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s petition for a stay Thursday, saying allegations of a conflict of interest by the Utah attorney generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office were without merit. Utah Gov. Gary Herbert also denied Gardnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request for a temporary stay, saying Gardner has had â&#x20AC;&#x153;a full and fair opportunityâ&#x20AC;? to have his case considered.

MOVIE REVIEW: TOY STORY 3

E-BRIEFS

They did it again

Ellen DeGeneres makes variety TV her cause

Finale in trilogy will leave you with a smile, a few tears

A

fter years of producing films of evolving maturity and sophistication, it is legitimate to wonder whether Pixar and its parent Disney — not immune to the sagging economy — are milking its first and most lucrative cash cow for an easy money grab by making “Toy Story 3” 15 years after the original entry and 11 years after its sequel.

Notwithstanding the studios’ motives, this tertiary return of Pixar’s beloved playthings fits firmly into the studio’s blueprint of growing with its original core audience.

Andy (voiced by John Morris in all three films, to my point) is now 17years-old and leaving for college, and Woody (Tom Hanks), Buzz (Tim Allen), and the rest of the playroom worry they’ll be consigned to the attic or, worse still, the trash heap — the soldiers are the first to parachute away: “When the trash bags come out, we army guys are the first to go.”

Fearing the unknown but still yearning relevance, the gang escapes

to an alluring daycare with a sinister underbelly.

They are greeted by a virtual island of misfit toys, run by Lots-o’-Huggin’ (Ned Beatty), a huggable pink bear with a genteel Southern façade that masks a despotic plantation owner’s cruelty.

Backed by Lotso’s henchdolls — the spookiest baby this side of Chucky and a metrosexual Ken (Michael Keaton, having a blast) — our newcomers are banished to the Caterpillar Room, a hellhole director Lee Unkrich depicts with the frenzied madness of an early Sam Raimi horror flick or the riot scene in “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.”

From there, “Toy Story 3” becomes, of all things, a taut prison-break flick, with Lotso playing the part of the warden from “Cool Hand Luke.” He brainwashes Buzz by flipping the Demo switch beneath his battery

cover, which leaves it to Woody to help his mates escape using some “Mission: Impossible” style strategizing.

The visuals (3-D version not necessary) are still gorgeous but now hued with a pleasant retro quality. And, the series’ trademark humor is as snappy as ever, although the obvious, uneasy chuckles at the expense of Ken’s foppishness and Buzz’s amorous Spanish language mode are the sort of things “Shrek” sequels do — “Like your as-cot,” Barbie coos to Ken. But, only Pixar could craft a charming fable

about facing one’s mortality, including a relatively macabre turn that sees our plastic protagonists linking hands in quiet acceptance of a seemingly inevitable fiery demise. Otherwise, the script by “Little Miss Sunshine” scribe Michael Arndt provides workmanlike fun until the poignant final five minutes, which packs an emotional punch rivaled only by “Up’s” opening act montage.

Oozing with bittersweet-

ness, the denouement’s lesson about both treasuring and letting go of the past that elegantly concludes this seminal trilogy.

Behind your smile will be a lump in your throat, as “Toy Story 3” just might send you rummaging through the bygone boxes in your attic.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Ellen DeGeneres is bringing variety back to TV with the help of Kabuki Expert and the Flag Man. They’re among the performers in DeGeneres’ fourth variety special for TBS, “Ellen’s Somewhat Special Special,” which was taped Wednesday at the Chicago Theatre. It will air later this month.

The show features Lady Antebellum, Australian magician James Galea, the Catwalk Acrobats and Nick Cannon. They join Japan’s Kabuki Expert, creators of the Matrix Ping Pong video seen online, and Dominic Lacasse, an acrobat known as the Flag Man. “Ellen’s Somewhat Special Special” is set to air 9 p.m.

EDT Sunday, June 27, on TBS.

Cups runneth over at world beer pong event in NJ ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — Organizers hope a nationwide tournament and a $25,000 first prize will help put a respectable face on something that started as a college drinking game.

The World Beer Pong Tour held its championships Tuesday at the Resorts Atlantic City casino in New Jersey, where hundreds of two-man teams competed to see who could toss pingpong balls into 10 water-filled cups first.

Normally the cups are filled with beer the losing team drinks.

Tour commissioner Sam Pines says it’s not about getting drunk. He says the tour is about competition, skill and having fun.

But not everyone got the message. Unemployed 25year-old Brian Bailey says all he does every day is drink beer and toss pingpong balls at cups.

Contract: MJ doc requested lifesaving gear, nurse

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The doctor charged in Michael Jackson’s death had requested lifesaving gear and a nurse from the concert promoter organizing the singer’s London shows, documents obtained by The Associated Press show.

But neither request was apparently in place when Jackson died last June 25 after Dr. Conrad Murray administered a mixture of sedatives, including the anesthetic propofol, in an attempt to get the chronic insomniac to sleep.

Propofol is extremely powerful and is usually administered only in medical settings with emergency equipment on hand. Patients are normally constantly monitored.

Murray was alone when he gave the drugs to Jackson.

WORLD BRIEFS UN says 400,000 uprooted by Kyrgyzstan unrest

Al-Qaida in Iraq adopting Taliban tactics

OSH, Kyrgyzstan (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; An estimated 400,000 people â&#x20AC;&#x201D; nearly one-twelfth the population â&#x20AC;&#x201D; have fled their homes to escape Kyrgyzstanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ethnic violence, the U.N. said Thursday as throngs of refugees huddled in grim camps along the Uzbekistan border without adequate food or water.

That figure represents half the roughly 800,000 ethnic Uzbeks who lived in Kyrgyzstanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s south before Central Asiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worst ethnic violence in decades erupted there last week. More than 200 people â&#x20AC;&#x201D; possibly many more â&#x20AC;&#x201D; have been killed.

Ethnic Uzbeks on Thursday accused security forces of standing by or even helping ethnic-majority Kyrgyz mobs as they slaughtered people and burned down neighborhoods. Col. Iskander Ikramov, the chief of the Kyrgyz military in the south, rejected allegations of troop involvement in the riots but said the army didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t interfere in the conflict because it was not supposed to play the role of a police force.

Uzbeks interviewed by Associated Press journalists in Osh, the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s secondlargest city, said that on one street alone, ethnic Kyrgyz men sexually assaulted and beat more than 10 Uzbek women and girls, including some pregnant women and children as young as 12.

BAGHDAD (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; An al-Qaida in Iraq front group claimed responsibility Thursday for an unusual attack more typical of the Taliban in Afghanistan â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a commando-style assault in which suicide bombers wearing military uniforms stormed the Central Bank during rush hour in Baghdad.

The hours-long attack differed from the Iraqi terror networkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trademark car and truck bombings, a shift in tactics as the group struggles to regroup after being routed in a series of U.S.-Iraqi offensives.

Experts said the complex nature of the attack suggested the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new leadership could be taking cues from the Talibanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success with similar operations in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Al-Qaida in Iraq has been blamed for many of the deadly suicide strikes that have targeted the Foreign Ministry and other government institutions over the past year.

Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s violence differed because it involved bombings as well as an effort by suicide bombers to force their way into the building while battling with security forces.

Such attacks were common during the sectarian violence that nearly pushed Iraq to the brink of civil war in 20062007, but they were usually blamed on Shiite militias or other groups.

EU approves new sanctions BRUSSELS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The European Union on Thursday adopted new sanctions against Iran, the latest in a series of measures taken by the international community in an effort to halt the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nuclear program.

The restrictions come on top of a fourth round of sanctions imposed last week by the U.N. Security Council to curtail Iranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nuclear program over fears it is developing weapons. The council endorsed those sanctions after Iran rebuffed a plan to suspend uranium enrichment and swap its stockpiles of low-enriched uranium for fuel rods.

The EU â&#x20AC;&#x153;remains deeply concerned about Iranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nuclear program, and new restrictive measures have become necessary,â&#x20AC;? EU president Herman Van Rompuy said after a European summit focused primarily on economic issues.

A statement said the sanctions will target dual-use items that could be used as part of a nuclear program, and Iranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oil and gas industry â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including the â&#x20AC;&#x153;prohibition of new investment, technical assistance and transfers of technologies.â&#x20AC;?

Escorted by his bodyguards, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, center, flashes the victory sign to supporters as he arrives in the city of Shahr-e-Kord, 325 miles (543 kilometers) south of the capital Tehran, Iran, during a provincial tour, Wednesday. cargo companies will be blacklisted and banned from operating in EU territory, and new visa bans and asset freezes will be imposed on Iranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Revolutionary Guard. The sanctions also encompass trade insurance and financial transactions.

The measures are meant to strengthen past embargoes imposed by the EU in response in response to U.N. Security Council resolutions.

They are also in line with similar measures adopted by the Obama administration, which imposed penalties Wednesday against ad-

ditional individuals and institutions it says are helping Iran develop its nuclear and missile programs and evade international sanctions.

But Russia â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which last week supported the fourth round of sanctions in the security council â&#x20AC;&#x201D; on Thursday denounced the additional U.S. and EU measures. The Foreign Ministry in Moscow said that unilateral sanctions are eroding international efforts to settle the Iranian nuclear standoff, and that the U.S. and EU moves demonstrate Western disregard of

Russiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opinion.

The United States, Israel and the EU fear that Iran will continue to upgrade its uranium enrichment program until it can produce a nuclear weapon.

Iran vehemently denies the charge, saying that its program is only intended solely for peaceful purposes such as energy-generation, and that it has the right to enrich uranium under the international nonproliferation treaty.

Iranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parliamentary speaker Ali Larijani said that Tehran would retaliate against the EU for additional sanctions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Europeans should not think of imposing sanctions on Iran following the U.N. Security Council resolution,â&#x20AC;? the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s official news agency quoted him as saying. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In case of imposing sanctions by the EU, Iran will consider the issue of reciprocity.â&#x20AC;? He did not elaborate.

The new EU sanctions will now be passed on to government technical experts to work out the specifics of which companies and products would be targeted, and how. This could be a tricky procedure, given the different economic interests of EU countries involved.

76ERS TRADE DALEMBERT TO KINGS FOR 2 PLAYERS PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Samuel Dalembert got his wish.

The Philadelphia 76ers traded Dalembert to the Sacramento Kings on Thursday for Andres Nocioni and Spencer Hawes.

Dalembert asked for a trade last year because he was unhappy with his role. Now, he got it.

“We are excited to add two players in Spencer Hawes and Andres Nocioni who will help us immediately and provide us with additional frontcourt depth,” Sixers general manager Ed Stefanski said in a statement. “Spencer is a young seven-footer who will provide us with versatility at the center position, while Andres will provide us with a tough veteran presence.”

Dalembert was Philadelphia’s longest-tenured player, but he played for seven different coaches and never developed into a dominant force after being drafted in the first round in 2001. The 6-foot-11 center averaged 8.1 points and 8.3 rebounds over eight seasons, and often was mentioned in trade rumors.

SANFORD — Middle Creek kept scoring.

But the Lee County Yellow Jackets kept responding when they needed to the most.

Lee County trailed 5-4 headed into the bottom of the

seventh inning before tying things up at 5. Tyler Castleberry hit the game-winning hit to drive in the winning run to lift the Yellow Jackets to a 6-5 victory over Middle Creek on Thursday night in Sanford.

The win improves the Yellow Jackets to 3-0 in Central Caro-

lina Scholastic Summer League play. It is also their comeback victory of the summer season.

In the season opener against Northwest Guilford, the Yellow Jackets rallied to a 3-2 victory.

Middle Creek scored first in the top of the third inning to go up 1-0. In the bottom of

the third, the Yellow Jackets responded with two runs to build a 2-1 lead.

The Mustangs built a 4-2 lead with two runs in the fifth inning and then added one more in the sixth to go up 5-2.

NCAA UTAH ACCEPTS PAC-10’S INVITATION TO JOIN

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — The University of Utah has accepted an invitation to become the 12th member of the newly expanded Pac-10 conference.

University president Michael Young says in a release that the Utes are pleased to accept the invitation and join Colorado as the Pac-10’s newest members. With the additions, the conference will have 12 members.

Young says it will be a tremendous jump for Utah both academically and athletically.

Utah has been a member of the Mountain West Conference since it formed in 1999.

MLB CHIPPER JONES PUTS OFF RETIREMENT TALK

ATLANTA (AP) — Braves third baseman Chipper Jones now says he won’t be making a decision on retirement until after the season.

After indicating for two days he was close to announcing whether to call it a career, Jones told reporters before Thursday night’s game against Tampa Bay that he won’t be discussing “the r word” anymore until the season is over.

Jones says he’s been meeting periodically with team president John Schuerholz and general manager Frank Wren over the last six months to discuss his future. But with the Braves in first place, Jones says it’s not a good time to be a distraction.

Tiger Woods takes a shot on the first hole during the first round of the U.S. Open golf tournament Thursday at the Pebble Beach Golf Links in Pebble Beach, Calif.

Tiger lurks, Mickelson stumbles on a tough opening day all around

By EDDIE PELLS AP National Writer

PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — The two best players in the world couldn’t make a birdie. A dozen more got to the top of the leaderboard only to see themselves fall right back down.

The winner on Thursday at the U.S. Open was prickly Pebble Beach, the toughenedup beauty — a wind-blown course that tamed Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson and drained the momentum from any player who dared get too far under par.

“It’s survival,” said Tim Clark, after shooting a 72 to finish

three strokes behind clubhouse leader Shaun Micheel.

Mickelson shot 4-over-par 75 during a birdie-less morning round that included one shot onto the beach and another off the rock wall on 18 that went careening into the ocean.

Woods went through the first 15 holes without making a birdie either, and this was even though he was the only player to hit the first 10 greens in regulation. With three holes to play, he was at 1-over par, three shots behind Micheel, the 2003 PGA winner.

With a 3-under-par 69, Micheel was the only player to crack 70 and was one shot

WORLD CUP 2010

Team USA looking for big win against tiny Slovenia

By RONALD BLUM AP Sports Writer

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — They played 62 games over four years just to get ready for the World Cup, convinced obsessive preparation and attention to detail would turn around their fortunes after a quick exit in 2006.

But the stark reality is this: All that work will amount to nothing unless the United States gets at least a tie against Slovenia on Friday.

“Obviously a loss would put us out.

That’s something that’s going to be in the back of our minds,” American cap-

tain Carlos Bocanegra said Thursday following a chilly workout at Ellis Park.

Following an opening 1-1 draw against favored England last weekend, the Americans need at least one point on a day when the English face Algeria in the late game at Cape Town. With a victory against the smallest of the 32 nations in the tournament, the U.S. would take a huge step toward reaching the knockout stage of the tournament for the first time since 2002.

Comeback kid

Miles attempts another comeback after knee injury

By MIKE CRANSTON AP Sports Writer

CHARLOTTE (AP) — On the same day as Game 7 of the NBA finals, Darius Miles is running the floor alongside several players who have never been in the NBA and perhaps never will.

It was hardly the place for a former No. 3 overall pick in the draft. But

ncaa hoops

following what was once called a “career-ending” knee injury and off-court problems, Miles is determined to overcome the rustiness and his balky knee to play in the NBA again.

If it requires being a grunt in the Charlotte Bobcats’ obscure freeagent camp the same week the league crowns a champion, so be it.

“For a guy like him to come in this kind of setting speaks well for him,” Bobcats coach Larry Brown said. “It shows you how much he wants to play.”

For Miles it’s simple.

He’s worked on his jump shot, still feels he has the quickness that made him so difficult to guard, and he has incentive to overcome the obstacles

that have left him out of the league for more than a year.

“My son is two years old and he’s never got a chance to see me play.

I want him to get the experience of being in an arena,” Miles said. “I’m 28 years old. I’ve got at least five or six good years left in me if my body holds up. I just want to be part of something, part of something that means something.”

That seemed certain in 2001 when Miles became the first player to come straight from high school to make the NBA’s AllRookie team. Known for his tremendous athletic ability, the 6-foot-9 Miles missed only one game in his first two seasons with the Los Angeles Clippers.

Soon, though, trouble found Miles. After two years in Cleveland, Miles was traded to Portland. He averaged double figures in points in each of his three seasons there, but also clashed with Trail Blazers coach Maurice Cheeks.

He then injured his right knee late in the 2005-06 season, when he averaged a career-best 14 points in 40 games.

BUIES CREEK — Charles Baker has been promoted to associate head coach, Brian Burg has been named assistant coach/recruiting coordinator and Ryan Ridder has been hired as assistant coach at Campbell University, head men’s basketball coach Robbie Laing announced on Thursday.

Baker and Burg, both in their second year at Campbell, played a large role in the Fighting Camels’ Atlantic Sun Conference regular season championship season in 2009-10.

Ridder replaces Michael Slonaker, who accepted a high school coaching position in the Tampa/St. Petersburg, Fla., area.

Not only did the Fighting Camels set a school Division I era (since 1977-78) record for regular season (19-11) and conference wins (14-6), but the Camels also ranked second in the country in steals per game and eighth nationally in turnover margin.

MLB BRIEFS

Mexico beats France 2-0 in World Cup match POLOKWANE, South Africa (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chicharitoâ&#x20AC;? was too big for France.

Mexicoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Javier Hernandez, whose nickname means â&#x20AC;&#x153;Little Green Pea), emulated his grandfather by a scoring a World Cup goal against France. One major difference: his was in a victory.

Substitutes Hernandez and Cuauhtemoc Blanco each scored in Mexicoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2-0 win over France on Thursday, leaving El Tri needing only a draw to reach the next round.

Hernandez ran onto Rafael Marquezâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pass as the France defense stopped, believing Hernandez was offside. He dribbled around goalkeeper Hugo Lloris before guiding the ball home in the 64th minute.

Hernandezâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grandfather, Tomas Balcazar, scored for Mexico against France in the 1954 World Cup, but El Tri lost. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I remembered my grandfather in the locker room,â&#x20AC;?

Hernandez said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t spoken to my family yet, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re my main motivation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thank God I could score.

More importantly, we could win against a team we hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been able to beat in a long time.â&#x20AC;?

Blanco put in a penalty kick in the 79th minute after Eric Abidal fouled another substitute, Pablo Barrera.

Abidal was caught out of position on both goals while playing center half instead

of his usual left back. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We feel a great disappointment and sadness,â&#x20AC;?

France coach Raymond Domenech said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We struggled. At the moment I really donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have an explanation for it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We should still be proud enough to look forward to winning our next match.

There is still an infinitesimally small chance that we will go through.â&#x20AC;?

Mexico next plays Uruguay, which also needs a draw to advance. France has only one point and has to beat South Africa and hope Mexico and Uruguay donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tie their match in Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final group games. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to enjoy this win,â&#x20AC;? Marquez said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to go step by step and be calm.â&#x20AC;?

Mexico fans taunted the French with cries of â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Ole! Ole!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; as the clock wound down and vuvuzelas blasted. France fans were heavily outnumbered by flagwaving Mexico supporters who packed each end of Peter Mokaba Stadium and unfurled a 30-yard flag.

Mexicoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Javier Hernandez celebrates after the World Cup group A soccer match between France and Mexico at Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane, South Africa, Thursday. Mexico won 2-0.

Argentina took the lead in the 17th minute when Park Chu-young deflected in a free kick from Lionel Messi.

Higuain made it 2-0 in the 33rd after Nicolas Burdisso passed along a cross from Maxi Rodriguez.

In first-half injury time, Lee Chung-yong pounced on a defensive mistake to close the gap, but Higuainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two second-half goals â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in the 76th and 80th minutes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; put the game away.

Argentina leads Group B with six points off two victories.

Argentina 4, South Korea 1

JOHANNESBURG (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Gonzalo Higuain scored a hat trick and Argentina beat South Korea 4-1 at the World Cup on Thursday, putting the South Americans on the brink of qualifying for the next round.

BLOEMFONTEIN, South Africa (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Greece claimed its first World Cup win, rallying to beat 10-man Nigeria 2-1 in a World Cup Group B match on Thursday.

Vassilis Torosidis poked home a loose ball in the 71st minute after a mistake from Nigeria goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama to make history for Greece, which had lost all four previous World Cup matches.

Nigeria opened the scoring in the 16th minute at Free State Stadium when Kalu Ucheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s curling free kick from 35 yards deceived everyone, particularly goalkeeper Alexandros Tzorvas, who moved the wrong way.

Last stand for Big Three, or will Boston be back? you did every June is you went from L.A. to Boston and back again,â&#x20AC;? said David Stern, who handed out his first trophy to Birdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Celtics in 1984.

So when the longtime rivals met in Game 7 on Thursday night, it was easy to consider it the end of a chapter, but not the end of the story.

Yet there was also the feeling that the Celtics were making the last stand with their Big Three of Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen, which

was already an older group when it was put together in the summer of 2007, even before Garnett needed knee surgery that robbed him of some explosiveness. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope not,â&#x20AC;? coach Doc Rivers said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure. I do think, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve said this before, that I think

*$26.99 OIL CHANGE

DETROIT (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Jeremy Bonderman threw seven sharp innings, Miguel Cabrera and Alex Avila hit two-run doubles and the Detroit Tigers beat the Washington Nationals 8-3 on Thursday.

Bonderman (3-4) gave up two runs and five hits, helping the Tigers extend their winning streak to six. He retired his first 11 batters, struck out seven and walked none.

Washington has lost five of six heading into rookie Stephen Strasburgâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next start Friday at home. Luis Atilano (5-4) gave up five runs and nine hits in 4 1-3 innings against Detroit.

Adam Dunn homered for the Nationals.

Jimenez leads Rockies to win over Twins

nba finals: Game 7: Boston at Los angeles

LOS ANGELES (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Two NBA finals meetings in three years used to mean the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers were just getting warmed up.

Larry Bird and Magic Johnson did this three times from 1984-87. Boston won all three when the teams squared off in 1962, â&#x20AC;&#x2122;63 and â&#x20AC;&#x2122;65; and repeated the feat three times in four years at the end of that decade. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I became commissioner, I thought what

Tigers top Nationals for 6th win in a row

weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be better in some ways next year because Kevin will be healthier, if you know what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m saying. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always a year removed from surgery that you have your best year. You know, we obviously have to sign Ray. Rasheed (Wallace) has to come back and all that stuff.â&#x20AC;?

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Ubaldo Jimenez allowed one run on eight hits to improve to 131 on the season in Coloradoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 5-1 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Thursday.

Jimenezâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s earned-run average dropped to 1.15 and the 26-year-old Dominican is off to the best start by a pitcher since Roger Clemens went 14-0 in 1986.

Ryan Spilborghs hit a two-run homer and Troy Tulowitzki added an RBI-triple and two runs for the Rockies, who avoided a three-game sweep in front of 40,741 fans at Target Field. Tulowitzki left the game in the eighth inning after being hit by a pitch.

The highly anticipated matchup against fellow Dominican Francisco Liriano (6-4) wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even close. Liriano allowed three runs on five hits with three walks and six strikeouts in seven innings for the Twins.

Fukudome lifts Cubs past Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 3-2 CHICAGO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Kosuke Fukudome, benched recently due to a slump at the plate, singled to start a tying rally in the eighth inning before driving in the winning run with another single in the ninth to lift the Chicago Cubs to a 3-2 win over the Oakland Athletics on Thursday.

The Cubs won their first series since late May and have their first winning streak of any

kind since taking three in a row from May 22-25. The Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s have lost five of their last six and are two game under .500, equaling their low-water mark this season.

Jerry Blevins (2-1) opened the ninth by walking Geovany Soto, who went to second on Starlin Castroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sacrifice.

After pinch-hitter Koyie Hill was intentionally walked, Ryan Theriot walked to load the bases. On the next pitch, Fukudome singled through a drawn-in infield.

Arroyo homers, leads Reds over Dodgers

CINCINNATI (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Bronson Arroyo hit the first of Cincinnatiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three homers off rookie John Ely, pitched seven innings and was part of three double plays Thursday afternoon, setting up a 7-1 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Arroyoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three-run shot in the second inning made Ely (3-4), a star at nearby Miami University, double over in disgust.

Joey Votto added a two-run homer, and Brandon Phillips had a solo shot.

Arroyo (6-3) gave up a career-high six walks and five hits, but helped himself on defense. He was on the back end of three double plays, covering first base for the relay throw.

The Reds moved a half-game ahead of idle St. Louis in the NL Central. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the latest Cincinnati has been in first place since June 17, 2002, the final season at Cinergy Field.

Manny back at Fenway for 1st time since trade to L.A. BOSTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Homers or hijinks, Red Sox fans never knew what they would get from Manny Ramirez. Now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s their turn to surprise the enigmatic slugger.

Will they think of his leisurely trots down the first-base line and boo? Or will they recall his drives over the Green Monster and cheer?

Ramirezâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s former Boston teammates donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how the crowd will react when he brings his act back to Fenway Park for the first time since being traded in 2008.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scheduled to be the designated hitter for the Los Angeles Dodgers in Friday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opener of a three-game series.

before teeing off on the par-4 first hole. His approach almost went in the hole but skidded 12 feet past, and thus began a string of eight straight pars.

He missed some opportunities — from 12, 15 and 7 feet on the first three holes — but at least he didn’t go the way of some of the would-be leaders.

Weir saw how quickly Pebble could give and take away on a day with bright sunshine, temperatures in the low-60s and north winds at about 10 mph. He chipped in for birdie from the

Amateur Morgan Hoffman was at even par heading into 18 — as much in contention as anyone — when he ricocheted his second shot off one of the trees in the fairway and into the water. Hit the next shot there, too, and took a 9 to finish at 75, the same as Mickelson.

By the time that fiasco ended, journeymen Hudson Swafford and Brendon de Jonge were holding the lead at 2 under with lots of work left. De Jonge, who had four holes-in-one on the Nationwide Tour, spun his third shot into the hole from 100 yards on the par-5 14th for eagle.

Earlier, he had been at 3 under, but made three bogeys.

“What makes teams great is the teams that do it three, four, five, six, seven times in row,” Landon Donovan said. “We haven’t proven we can do that yet.

“You don’t want to finish a round like that.

It’s never a good thing,” Weir said. “But it wasn’t because I was looking at the scoreboard and looking at where I am in the tournament. Because it’s Thursday, and I just happened to hit a couple of poor shots.”

John Rollins was tied for the lead at 2 under before he hit a dead shank from the greenside rough on 17, then left the next shot short.

in the home half of the sixth to trim the deficit to one at 5-4. After Middle Creek went scoreless in the top of the seventh, the Yellow Jackets earned the victory thanks to Castle-

second time, the Slovenes are ranked 25th, 11 spots behind the U.S. Slovenia is seeking to follow its opening 1-0 win over Algeria with a victory that would be received here with cries of “Ayoba,” a South African expression used for surprising events.

Midfielder Andrej Komac doesn’t think a Slovene win would be so surprising. He boldly predicted victory, prompting U.S. goalkeeper Tim Howard to respond: “Talk is cheap.”

Howard expects to play, with a painkiller injection if necessary, after taking a boot from Emile Heskey in the ribs last Saturday.

Exactly one month after training began in Princeton, N.J., Howard and the other American players worked out under the pink-purple twilight at Ellis Park, many wearing navy ski caps, gray sweat pants and gloves in the 46-degree cold. The clunky clothes made it seem more like a team preparing for a late autumn NCAA tournament game than the pride of the U.S. The United States has played twice before at Ellis Park, a downtown stadium with a highly raked upper deck that opened in 1928 and holds 55,686 for the World Cup. In November 2007, the Americans beat South Africa 1-0 on a Steve

Cherundolo goal. Last June, the U.S. took a twogoal halftime lead against Brazil in the Confederations Cup final only to lose 3-2.

Players felt mixed emotions on returning.

“We’ve learned from moments where we’ve stuck together and pulled out important wins,” coach Bob Bradley said. “We’ve learned from days when we let a game get away from us.”

Eastern European nations have presented defenses against the U.S. that have amounted to an Iron Curtain. Since returning to the World Cup in 1990 following a 40-year absence, the Americans are 0-5 against Eastern European teams and have been outscored 13-2.

Against England, the U.S. fell behind on Steven Gerrard’s fourth-minute goal but tied it on Clint Dempsey’s 25-yard, twohop shot that went through the arms of goalkeeper Robert Green.

Falling behind has been an American weakness.

The U.S. conceded the first goal in six of 10 final-round qualifiers last year but rebounded to win three of those and tie two. Still, going all the way back to 1930, the Americans have never won a World Cup match in which they trailed.

DEAR ABBY

BRIDGE HAND

Cousins’ fortunes reverse in years after high school

HOROSCOPES Universal Press Syndicate

Happy Birthday: It’s a changing playing field this year, so adapt quickly if you want to advance.

Knowing how to deal and anticipate will keep you ahead of the competition.

Keep your emotions out of the equation and act strictly on what is real and tangible. This is a year of preparation and honing of your attributes for the years to come.

Your numbers are 4, 12, 15, 22, 28, 37, 44 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Be gracious and giving if you want to send the right message. How you treat others and what you do and say will be what count. Travel may be necessary in order to finalize a business deal or to fulfill a promise.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Social networking will pay off. If you enjoy the company of your co-workers, it will be much easier to get your ideas off the ground and work as a team player. Be prepared to lay down some ground rules.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You may feel the urge to share a secret but, before your temptation gets the better of you, consider the consequences. You must draw on your awareness and sensitivity to influence those around you, if you want to avoid an argument that could lead to separation.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You need to make some serious changes to satisfy both personal and professional associations.

Reconstruct the way things have been in the past and you will realize what needs to be done to make the future better.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Avoid personal involvement with someone with whom you do business.

Sharing your ideas before you have had the chance to document or protect your concept will lead to an ownership problem. Be honest but don’t feel you must explain your situa-

WORD JUMBLE

tion in depth.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22): Take action and follow through with your plans, no matter what others say or do. You will not please everyone, but that’s OK. Be nice and you won’t harm your reputation.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Interact with the people that can help you.

Once you feel confident with the situation and the people involved, you can express what you have to offer and how best your skills can be used.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Be responsible and take action and you can bring about reform. A personal partnership will cause you to rethink your current location. Talking about your uncertainty will enable you to make a good decision.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Don’t ignore personal problems. Step up and express the way you feel. You may not get the answer you are looking for, but it will enable you to move in a positive direction instead of spinning your wheels. Love is on the rise and money and partnerships look good.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): If you have a problem with a neighbor, friend or relative, assess and take action. Property investments can pay off if you clear debt and move on. Prosperity will only come if you can let go of dead weight and cut your losses.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18): You may want to have fun but don’t do so at the expense of others or your reputation will be jeopardized. It’s your compassion that will bring you praise, not meddling.

A loved one may try to manipulate you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Stick to your code of ethics and you won’t have regrets. Be honest about how you see things unfolding for you in the future. Don’t lead someone on because you don’t want to face discord.

DEAR ABBY: My sister and I have always been close. My niece was popular, blond, petite and a high school cheerleader who dated the quarterback. My daughter, “Amber,” was studious, wore thick glasses and no makeup, but was happy and well-liked. We accepted and celebrated their differences.

My niece stayed in town, working part-time in an office and taking a few classes at junior college while waiting until her boyfriend finished college, became a professional athlete and they rode off into the sunset. As fate would have it, he returned home -- with a new cheerleader.

Amber went off to an Ivy League school on a scholarship. When she returned home 10 pounds lighter, with long, highlighted hair and contact lenses, we didn’t recognize her. She’s a knockout!

My sister and my niece have now cooled toward us and make cutting remarks about Amber.

They have started acting strangely, bad-mouthing the ex-boyfriend and his family, even at church functions. I want to talk to my sister, but I’m at a loss on how to start or what to say. Any ideas?

— LOST IN LONG BEACH DEAR LOST: You are describing two very unhappy women, for whom things haven’t turned out as planned. Your daughter, the “ugly duckling,” has transitioned into a swan. Congratulations! She is now

considered to be “competition.”

Now please try to be gracious. Pick up the phone and call your sister.

Tell her you’re concerned about her because she seems to have become “withdrawn” lately -- and see if you can draw her out. It appears she and her daughter are going through a bad time right now. o DEAR ABBY: I was visiting my father when he got the phone call from his doctor with the results of his biopsy. It was lung cancer.

I tried my best not to cry, but I couldn’t help myself and my father comforted me.

I want to be strong and “there” for him, but my heart is breaking because I can’t think of anything to make this better for him. I can’t bear the thought of losing him. I lost my mom five years ago, and Dad helped me through that.

When my father is gone, I will have

no one.

I feel guilty that I’m more concerned about my feelings when I should be concentrating on helping Dad feel better. I hate that my emotions are so close to the surface. I worry most of the time anyway, and this has thrown me for a loop. Have you any advice on how I can pull it together and be supportive of my father?

— DEVASTATED IN OKLAHOMA DEAR DEVASTATED: Yes, I do.

Cancer is a scary word, but it is important to remember that, in many cases, it is not the death sentence that it was even 10 years ago.

In other words, your father may go into remission or even recover completely. So please stop panicking that you may lose him, because he needs you right now.

If you can, accompany him to doctor’s appointments. You can take notes and help him evaluate and understand his treatment options -- because when people are stressed they sometimes tend to forget what they have been told or what questions they wanted to ask.

Contact the American Cancer Society about online and local support groups that offer up-to-date information regarding therapies and clinical studies, as well as places to find the emotional support you are looking for.

Employee Jeff Colucy was with his Weimaraner in the parking lot of a Columbus company that makes office fixtures when the dog went on alert Wednesday morning, focused on the alligator hunkered down in a puddle.

Police brought in reptile wrangler Chris Law, who captured the gator by grabbing it at the tail with his bare hands. He says he didn’t have his usual reptile rescue gear because he was about to leave on vacation.

Law says people often buy alligators as pets, then dump them when they get too big. He picks up about 40 a year and turns them over to wildlife rescue groups.

NY police dog finds parole violator 1st day on job NEWBURGH, N.Y. (AP) — A new police dog has learned an old trick-tracking down a parole violator outside New York City on its first day on the job.

Bloodhound Tank Tebow is handled

by Officer Curtis Hahne (hayn) in Newburgh, 60 miles north of New York.

Tank was donated to police Monday and began his career with the officer Tuesday. Two hours later police were dispatched to an apartment complex

SUDOKU

MY ANSWER on a tip the parole violator was there.

But by the time police arrived the man had disappeared.

Police say Tank followed the man’s scent into a commercial area, through woods, across streets and into another apartment complex several blocks away. They say the man surrendered without incident.

Tank is certified by the National Police Bloodhound Association. He’ll also be used to find missing people.

6 rings stolen from Ron Dayne returned in bag MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Police say six rings reported stolen from former University of Wisconsin and NFL running back Ron Dayne have been returned to him in a plastic bag.

Madison Police Lt. Jennifer Krueger Favour said Dayne had reported the rings stolen from home in Waunakee, Wis. She said they were returned anonymously in a plastic bag Tuesday to Dayne’s apartment in nearby Madison.

Krueger Favour did not describe what the rings were and Dayne did not return a message.

Dayne reported in April that his two Rose Bowl rings and about $100,000 worth of jewelry and other items were stolen from his Waunakee home. Last month, he reported a burglary of about $50,000 in jewelry and other items from the Madison apartment, including a diamond bracelet commemorating his 1999 Heisman Trophy win.

Only God can fill your empty soul Q: All my friends think I’ve got it together, but down inside I know I don’t.

I ought to be content because I’ve achieved almost everything I ever wanted.

But I’m still empty inside and don’t have any peace.

What’s wrong with me?

Maybe I need God. -- R.G. A: I’m thankful you’re thinking this way -- because you’re right: You do need God. God created us, and wants us to have a close relationship with Him -- but when we’re separated from Him, our lives are unfulfilled and our hearts are empty.

Almost 3,000 years ago, a very powerful and wealthy king had similar feelings.

His name was Solomon, and he spent most of his life pursuing all kinds of projects and pleasures. But when he examined himself, he realized these hadn’t given him lasting peace: “When I surveyed all that my hands had done... everything was meaningless, a chasing after the wind” (Ecclesiastes 2:11).

Only later, when he put God at the center of his life, did he experience true peace. And this can be your experience, as well.

By nature we are separated from God because we have sinned and chosen to go our own way. But God still loves us and yearns for us to come back to Him. He loves us so much that He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, into the world to die for us and bring us back to God. By a simple but sincere prayer of faith tell God you know you need Him, and then ask Christ to come into your life.

his Fathersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Day, consider some of the qualities of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;newâ&#x20AC;? fathers of today. New fathers not only have a new addition to their family; they share a more hands-on role in parenting than the dads of a previous generation.

Both parents are truly dedicated to bringing their child into the worldâ&#x20AC;Śgone are the days of dad pacing the floor in the waiting room. He is right there in the delivery room, the greatest coach ever! Sleep deprived dads share in the day to day duties of new parenting - getting up in the middle of the night, changing diapers, feeding baby.

Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dads are no better than yesterdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dads, the duties and responsibilities have simply changed along with the culture.

As you worship with your family this Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day, remember your own special dad, and thank your Father in Heaven for him!
