SANFORD CLEAN-UP
Spill dumped 530 gallons of used oil Emergency crews wrapped up clean-up Friday; spill made it to creek bed near Carthage, Sunset streets By BILLY LIGGETT bliggett@sanfordherald.com
SANFORD — On the same day the Gulf Coast celebrated the capping of an epic 85-day leak, local emergency crews were dealing with their own (small scale) oil spill near downtown Sanford. A drum containing about 530 gallons of thick, black used
oil was released into the streets and creek behind Rocky’s Boxing, located at 319 Wicker Street, late Wednesday. Lee County Emergency Management teamed up with Noble Oil Services Thursday to begin the clean-up process and by Friday, they announced the spill was contained. The oil had made it to a creek bed on Sunset Drive in Sanford’s Rosemount McIver
Historic District, according to Emergency Management Director Shane Seagroves. “It made it down to about a block before you get to Hillcrest Drive,” Seagrove said Friday. “They’re still cleaning it up ... we’ve got trucks pumping it and we’re using the same type of oil booms they used in the

From grease to green First-of-its-kind unit uses enzymes to produce high-quality biodiesel By ALEXA MILAN amilan@sanfordherald.com
PITTSBORO — It took a few tries to completely cut through the large purple ribbon with a huge pair of scissors, but with one final snip, Piedmont Biofuels unveiled its latest renewable fuel production technology on Friday. The Enzymatic Biodiesel pilot unit uses enzymes to produce high-quality biodiesel from low-quality grease. The first of its kind in the United States, Piedmont Biofuels developed the pilot unit with the help of the Chatham County Economic Development Corporation, the Biofuels Center of North
Vol. 80, No. 167 Serving Lee, Chatham, Harnett and Moore counties in the heart of North Carolina
Carolina and Novozymes, an international developer of enzyme technology. “(The pilot unit) is going to demonstrate the enzyme technology we’ve developed in the lab on a larger scale,” said Greg Austic, a researcher at Piedmont Biofuels. The traditional process of biofuel production uses a fat or oil, a type of alcohol and a catalyst. The new enzymatic process replaces the traditional catalyst with enzymes, resulting in a decrease in waste, an increase in output and a purer product. The enzyme technology also makes the production process more

RALEIGH — The commander of North Carolina’s Highway Patrol resigned Friday in the wake of a long series of trooper misconduct matters that have tarnished the force’s reputation. Gov.

She did not elaborate on why he stepped down from the position he took less than a year ago. Chrissy

Almanac Today is Saturday, July 17, the 198th day of 2010. There are 167 days left in the year. This day in history: On July 17, 1918, Russia’s Czar Nicholas II and his family were executed by the Bolsheviks. In 1821, Spain ceded Florida to the United States. In 1936, the Spanish Civil War began as right-wing army generals launched a coup attempt against the Second Spanish Republic. In 1935, the entertainment trade publication Variety ran its legendary headline, “Sticks Nix Hick Pix” (which might be translated as, “Rural audiences reject ruralthemed movies”). In 1944, during World War II, 320 men, two-thirds of them African-Americans, were killed when a pair of ammunition ships exploded at the Port Chicago Naval Magazine in California. In 1955, Disneyland had its opening day in Anaheim, Calif. In 1959, influential jazz vocalist Billie Holiday, known to her fans as “Lady Day,” died in a New York City hospital at age 44. In 1968, a coup in Iraq returned the Baath Party to power, five years after it was ousted. In 1975, an Apollo spaceship docked with a Soyuz spacecraft in orbit in the first superpower link-up of its kind. In 1981, 114 people were killed when a pair of walkways above the lobby of the Kansas City Hyatt Regency Hotel collapsed, one atop the other, during a tea dance.

BASE REALIGNMENT AND CLOSURE
AROUND THE AREA SANFORD
Habitat, LCHS students receive donations
LIBERTY — UNITS Mobile Storage of North Carolina, an industry leader in portable storage, has donated several containers to support local charities and events throughout North Carolina this summer. The donations are part of ongoing philanthropic efforts throughout the state. The franchise, which serves Greensboro, Reidsville, Winston, Burlington, Fayetteville, Pinehurst, Sanford, Asheboro, and the Triangle, provides all-inone packing, storing, and moving services through its use of the signature UNITS mobile storage containers. UNITS provides secure storage containers that are easy to use. Several charities, including Habitat for Humanity and the Red Cross, received container donations. Habitat for Humanity in Lee County was given a container to store supplies and materials to build homes for those in need. Students from Lee County High School in Sanford will help with the build. The Red Cross of Reidsville, NC, needed additional storage options and were also given a donated container. UNITS also supplied containers for several festivals throughout the state of North Carolina including the 2010 Got to Be NC Festival, the 2010 Rib Fest at the Dixie Fairgrounds in Winston Salem and the 2010 Fun Fourth Festival in Greensboro. The containers were used to store supplies for the events. — From staff reports
CHAPEL HILL
State Bar disbars 2008 District Court candidate
CHAPEL HILL (MCT) — The N.C. State Bar has disbarred Betsy Wolfenden, an attorney who ran unsuccessfully to be a District Court judge in 2008, but she already has filed a motion for a temporary stay with the N.C. Court of Appeals while appealing the Bar’s decision. Wolfenden has always claimed and continues to claim that a good-old-boy network of local attorneys and judges has conspired against her after she decided to run for District Court judge in 2008 against incumbent Alonzo Coleman. She has made public her complaints about them, especially involving an adoption case in which she represented the mother of the child that eventually was adopted by another couple. Although the N.C. State Bar has not posted its decision yet, it appears, based on Wolfenden’s own filings, that she did not appear at the Bar hearing on July 8 and 9. Wolfenden claims she was sick in bed with bronchitis and included a note from a doctor as proof.
ing by comparison to the under-performing national economy. That, and the chamber’s broad approach as a catalyst for public-private partnership. “That’s somewhat unique, and I think it works better than most,� he said. With the influx of businesses expected as a result of base relocations to Fort Bragg, plus unrelated business ventures he expects to get on track as the economy rebounds, Peters said he expects the Fayetteville area to keep its relatively lofty ranking even as the rest of the country recovers. That’s important, Peters said, because independent rankings such as these are helpful in commercial recruitment. “They tell the story of Fayetteville and Cumberland County very vividly,� he said. Four North Carolina areas ranked higher than Fayetteville this year: Charlotte-Gastonia-Rock Hill was 11th, Raleigh-Cary was 15th, Durham-Chapel Hill ranked 59th and Wilmington was 112th. — The Fayetteville Observer
FUQUAY-VARINA
Man shoots one, kills self FUQUAY-VARINA (MCT) — A man died from an apparent suicide after sending an acquaintance to WakeMed hospital with a gunshot wound to the foot. The wounded man, William Columbus Martin, 40, fled the home at 701 E. Maple Lane about 10 a.m. on July 5. Neighbors said they saw the other man running toward the back of the small, one-story house in a quiet residential section north of downtown. Fuquay-Varina police arrived, surrounded the house and sequestered neighbors inside their homes. At 10:46 a.m., officers heard a single gunshot from inside the house. Heavily armed deputies with the Wake County Sheriff’s Special Response Team approached the house and found Gregory Carver Higgs, 37, dead in the crawlspace, according to Fuquay-Varina Police Chief Larry Smith. Investigators think Higgs shot himself. Police say Higgs shot at Martin several times. Neighbors heard the initial gunshots, but most thought they were leftover fireworks from the Fourth of July. Daryl Park, who lives across the street from the house, has handled firearms and feared the worst. He called 911 reporting what he thought were at least five gunshots. “I was more or less hoping it was firecrackers,� Park said. — The Cary News
FORSCOM general ‘wowed’ by complex By JIM HINNANT U.S. Army Forces Command Public Affairs
FORT BRAGG — Asked about his first impression of the U.S. Army Forces Command/U.S. Army Reserve Command combined headquarters complex under construction here, Gen. James D. Thurman, FORSCOM commanding general, simply said, “Wow�. Making their first visit to Fort Bragg since taking charge of the Army’s largest command, Thurman and FORSCOM’s new top enlisted Soldier, Command Sgt. Maj. Ronald T. Riling, spent an event-filled Thursday, on post, meeting with XVIII Airborne Corps leaders and Soldiers, attending the 1st Theater Support Command’s change of command ceremony and touring the headquarters construction site. Under the provisions of the Base Realignment and Closure legislation of 2005, Fort McPherson, Ga., must close no later than Sept. 15, 2011. Both FORSCOM and U.S. Army Reserve Command headquarters will relocate to Fort Bragg. “It’s remarkable - as I drove up today, the first thing I said was “wow,� Thurman said. “It’s really remarkable that our Nation provided the resources like this - I know this is going to be a world-class facility.� Along with key leaders from the post, members of Hensel Phelps Construction Co. (the prime contractor for overall project), as well as project managers and engineers from the Army Corps of Engineers, FORSCOM’s

RALEIGH (MCT) — Triangle companies that rely on venture capital feasted on more than $112.2 million in new funding in the second quarter, the most since the fourth quarter of 2008, according to a new survey. The dozen companies that raised venture capital in the quarter are the most in three years, according to a report released today by the accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers and the National Venture Capital Association, based on data compiled by Thomson Reuters. The latest quarterly data were supplemented by The News & Observer. The second-quarter venture capital haul was

capital sweepstakes. Last year was the Triangle’s worst for venture capital financing since 2004. Dozens of young Triangle companies that are technology-rich but cash-poor rely on funding supplied by venture capitalists to conduct crucial research and development and expand their operations. The ven-
ture capitalists receive a stake in the business in exchange for their investment. The Triangle’s upswing followed the national trend. The amount of venture capital invested nationwide rose 34 percent in the second quarter compared with the first quarter.

FAYETTEVILLE (MCT) — Fayetteville has achieved its highest rank in at least seven years in a poll of economic strength in cities across the country. Fayetteville ranked 122nd among 366 metropolitan areas, defined as cities with at least 50,000 people. The city ranked 165th last year. Doug Peters, president and CEO of the Fayetteville-Cumberland County Chamber of Commerce, said the ranking reflects a local economy that is thriv-
thing they can to support Soldiers and families, and make sure as we come here to get started and do what we do for the United States Army.� With state of the art information technology and command and control capability builtin, the relocation of the FORSCOM headquarters to the new facility will enhance FORSCOM’s ability to accomplish its primary mission of providing trained and ready forces to Combatant Commanders, worldwide, through the Army Force Generation (ARFORGEN) process. “The American people have entrusted their sons and daughters to us,� said Thurman. “I’ve got a rule that we’ll never send a Soldier into harm’s way, if they are not properly trained, equipped and with the right leadership.�

Susie’s Law crucial as punishment for cruelty The View
The Herald-Sun of Durham
F
Issue: Susie’s Law
The stance: Susie’s Law is important because we need a way to punish people when they commit abhorrent acts of cruelty.
irst there was Cindy, then there was Susie, and now there is Red. Cindy was thrown from a car window into traffic, hit by a car that broke her back and still managed to survive. Animal lovers in Guilford County set up a fund in her name to pay for abused animals’ veterinary care. Susie, a now-famous pit bull/German shepherd mix, was beaten, doused with lighter fluid and set on fire. She was found in a Greensboro park weeks later, covered with maggots. Her ears were burned off. Her care was paid for by Cindy’s Fund.
‘Legislators said the tougher penalties are important because there is a link between animal abuse and domestic violence ....’ The public was outraged by the abuse, and then outraged again when Lashawn Whitehead was arrested. Susie belonged to Whitehead’s girlfriend, and the 21-year-old man set the puppy on fire for licking his newborn son. If Susie had been his dog, he would have been entirely within
his legal — but certainly not moral — rights when he struck the spark. Because Susie was not his, he was charged with and convicted of burning personal property and animal abuse. For the animal abuse, he got 18 months of probation — the toughest penalty the judge could hand down. The burning charge tacked on a six- to eight-month jail stint. The story is familiar to North Carolinians and Susie has become a familiar sight at the General Assembly. She attended hearings about Susie’s Law, which increases the penalty for felony animal cruelty to a Class H felony, which allows judges to hand
out jail time for animal cruelty. She was on hand to add a paw print at the bill signing when it passed in the legislature without a single dissenting vote. Legislators said the tougher penalties are important because there is a link between animal abuse and domestic violence. ... Still, let’s be clear: Violence against animals isn’t wrong because it could lead to violence against humans — and we’re not persuaded that jail time is the best way to turn anyone into a better spouse or parent, anyway. No, Susie’s Law is important because we need a way to punish people when they commit abhorrent acts of cruelty. ...

Community colleges
T
he United States has shed 2 million factory jobs since 2007, yet many American companies can’t find qualified workers to fill their available openings. That’s a shocking problem, given the numbers looking for work. But it could also be a break for blue-collar Americans willing to engage their brains. For them, there is a road from unemployment to a good living, and it may go through a local community college. While fewer Americans work in factories, U.S. factories still make lots of stuff. Many have computerized their operations to shrink the advantage of competitors in low-wage countries. They still need people to operate the computers and will pay them handsomely. But applicants with the proper skills aren’t showing up at their door. Ben Venue Laboratories makes drugs for pharmaceutical companies in the Cleveland suburb of Bedford, Ohio. It had 100 openings for jobs paying about $31,000 a year. Some 3,600 people applied for the jobs, but the company could hire only 47 of them. What was Ben Venue requiring in education? The ability to read and do math at a ninth-grade level. John Gajewski, executive director of the Cuyahoga Community College, works with Ben Venue and other local manufacturers to match needed skills with interested workers. My question: How do you get those lacking a ninthgrade education up to speed for such employment? ... The first thing: Get a high-school equivalency degree. Courses leading to the degree can be found most everywhere and often at no cost. Cuyahoga Community College offers them. With the degree in hand, the person can move into a short-term program at the college that lasts three to six months. It provides the technical training required by local industry and teaches “employability” skills — the ability to work in teams and show motivation to do the work. ... The psychological benefits can be enormous, as well. The students see that they can be successful in a college environment. They may go on to pursue an associate’s degree in engineering. They may eventually go for a bachelor’s degree. ... And here’s where the road gets rough for the lazy or unmotivated. Does he or she have the discipline and dedication to work today for rewards tomorrow? ... But for those who apply themselves, Gajewski sees a bright future in manufacturing. By 2016, about 30 percent of the manufacturing workforce in Ohio will be ready for retirement. This means many positions should open for children now in the sixth, seventh and eighth grades. It’s important for them to see manufacturing not as a dead-end, dead-brain job, but as an attractive career for educated, creative people. And for those who’ve already dropped out, community colleges show the way back in. That’s a great thing about America: Many of those who strike out in life can get another chance at bat.
Human sacrifice A
re the days of human sacrifice long gone? Remember that story of Abraham’s near sacrifice of his son Isaac and how God put an end to that sort of thing? But the tradition continued in a way, according to the Bible, as kings of Israel and Judah regularly executed their rivals and their rivals’ children. Just before the fall of Judah and the D.G.

Today’s Prayer
To the Editor: Those that pay attention have learned that politicians should always be judged by what they do, not what they say. In the June 30 edition of The Herald, State Representative Jimmy Love was quoted as saying that the Americans for Prosperity (AFP) automated calls were “misleading.” On June 24, Representative Love voted for a bill (H. B. 1726) that would have made it a crime to serve chocolate milk and certain other sweetened beverages to children in day-care centers. AFP thought that this was an overreach by a nanny-state government taking over the responsibility of parents, day-care center operators and pediatricians. AFP sent out phone calls to voters, asking them to contact Mr. Love. The calls initiated by AFP to Mr. Love caused him and the majority of the other supporters of the bill to change their minds and not make these requirements mandatory. Instead, the final bill directs the division of Public Health to make recommendations for improving nutrition standards in child care facilities. Mr. Love was also quoted as saying, “There was no attempt to try to tell parents what their children should eat or drink-that goes without saying that’s their responsibility.” However, H. B. 1726, that Mr. Love voted for and was by passed by the General Assembly on July 8th, calls for the following: (a) Limiting or prohibiting the serving of sweetened beverages, other than 100% fruit juice, to children of any age. (b) Limiting or prohibiting the serving of whole milk to children two years of age or older or flavored milk to children of any age. (c) Limiting or prohibiting the serving of more than six ounces of juice per day to children of any age. (d) Limiting or prohibiting the serving of juice from a bottle. So the nanny state of North Carolina is alive, and the advice about how one should judge politicians appears sound. LLOYD JENNINGS Lee County Chairman Americans for Prosperity

rolled and spilled, and they took off,” Neilsen said. “Basically, it was vandalism.” He said the spill was discovered early Thursday by a man who worked across the street and noticed the oil covering the parking lot. Sanford Police and Emergency Management were then soon notified, and the cleanup began Thursday morning. “The city employees and county should be commended for springing into action and tracking down the extent of the spill,” Neilsen said. “They went to the creeks, set up the booms ... they did all they could to stop it.” According to Seagroves, the spill is no danger to the city’s water supply. He didn’t have an estimate of the clean-up costs — which will be the responsibility of the business owners — but he said the cost would be “significant.”

Neilsen said Friday the building was the former Wilkinson Cadillac and had housed several other businesses in the past. He said he had no idea how long the drums had been there, and until Thursday, he didn’t know they contained used oil. He said he didn’t know who caused the spill, but he’s guessing it was somebody looking for scraps late Wednesday. “We think they tried to move the drum, it

Probe begins in assault of 2 students
RALEIGH (AP) — A state investigation will examine allegations that teachers or staff at the North Carolina School for the Deaf in Morganton assaulted two students, used excessive force with a third and entered the girls’ dormitory at inappropriate times, officials said Friday. Health and Human Services Secretary Lanier Cansler announced a team of people from inside and outside the
agency will conduct the probe, based on allegations made in a report presented to him earlier this week from the advocacy group Disability Rights North Carolina. The report also claims the school director and other staff failed to investigate the allegations properly and alert social services to possible abuse, as required by law. Cansler said early findings show “some staff may
not have acted in the best interests of our children.” “The findings of Disability Rights NC are significant enough to warrant a full investigation into the actions of the school’s top administrator and staff,” Cansler said. “We take these reports seriously and we are acting on them.” The department said school director Janet McDaniel was suspended with pay during the inves-
tigation, which could last at least 30 days. The findings will be presented to Cansler, Deputy Secretary Maria Spaulding said. Vicki Smith, executive director of Disability Rights, said Friday she was pleased to see a zero-tolerance policy for abuse promoted by Cansler and Gov. Beverly Perdue has been extended to children at the day and residential school of nearly 100 students in grades K-12.

waste. No soaps are produced when enzymes are used as the catalyst. “Getting rid of this soap in biodiesel solves a lot of problems, both economically and environmentally,” Austic said. “You end up with much cleaner biodiesel.” Piedmont Biofuels has been working on the pilot unit for about a year. At the ribbon cutting, Per Munk Nielsen, senior science manager at Novozymes, said he could tell the collaboration between Piedmont Biofuels and Novozymes would be successful from the first time he met the group, and he
hopes the pilot unit is just the beginning of their work together. “They have a really good handle on this,” Nielsen said. “They have the enthusiasm to find a practical approach.” Though the use of enzymes in biodiesel production has been happening for about 15 years, Austic said what sets Piedmont Biodiesel’s work apart is a focus on achieving the specifications necessary to commercialize the biodiesel. Steven Burke, president of the Biofuels Center of North Carolina, said he hopes the new developments in enzymatic
biodiesel will lead North Carolinians to commit to using alternative fuels. “We’re not just changing our fuel tanks, but our place and our future,” Burke said. In two years, Austic said he is hopeful that Piedmont Biofuels will have a larger pilot plant. But for now, he’s content with the pilot unit and how far enzymatic biofuel developments have come. “This is sort of my baby,” Austic said. “I’ve been working on this for a year, so it’s exciting to see progress being made. But we’re certainly not done.”
with honor and integrity, and I thank them for that service,” Perdue said in a statement. Perdue met with the patrol’s top officials earlier this month, pushing for an end to the trooper troubles. She said Friday that she will announce a Highway Patrol transition leadership team next week that will include input from outside advisers. Joe Sinsheimer, a Democratic strategist who has spent the past several years as a watchdog of the party, said he’d like to see Perdue ask for changes to a state law that requires the commander come from within the Highway Patrol. “We need someone completely free of questions of political
influence and political patronage,” Sinsheimer said. “We need an outsider to come in and take the reins of the patrol and change the culture. Anything short of that would be a mistake.” During a press conference earlier this month, Glover indicated that he thought the press was exacerbating the force’s problems. He restricted media access to a meeting with troopers Thursday in Graham. At that meeting, Glover defended his job to WFMY-TV, saying he didn’t tell individuals to make bad choices. “I’m accountable for this organization,” Glover told the station. “I’m accountable to make sure everybody understands if they violate our codes and our policies,
I’m going to deal with it. And, I have dealt with it because those individuals are no longer with us.” Speaking with WRALTV at his home in New Bern on Friday, Glover said, “I finally saw clearly that the target was on me.” “These guys and girls out there, they’re doing what they’re supposed to do, day in and day out. They don’t deserve this,” he said. Glover is a Nashville native who has served on the patrol since 1980. He became colonel last year after serving as director of field operations. He acknowledged last year that he was transferred from a position in 1987 because of an extramarital affair.

energy efficient. “It allows you to use a wider range of fats and oils,” Austic said. “We can use low-quality cooking oil or brown grease, which many producers can’t even process.” The traditional catalyst also produces soaps that contaminate the biodiesel and must be removed before the product can be used. A significant amount of processing is required to clean out the contaminant, which produces

Pearson, a spokeswoman for the governor, said Glover’s official retirement date will be Sept. 1 and that he will aid in the transition process. The resignation comes after a string of ethical lapses in the Highway Patrol that drove Perdue to recently demand change. The force has seen a number of troopers resign or be fired for problems ranging from drunken driving arrests to sending inappropriate text messages. “Again, I continue to believe that 99.9 percent of the members of the North Carolina Highway Patrol serve the state
RDU airport ends legal fight over newspaper boxes RALEIGH (AP) — Raleigh-Durham International Airport is ending its six-year fight to ban newspaper vending boxes while allowing DVD rental machines and prepaid telephone card dispensers. The Raleigh-Durham Airport Authority said it will install news racks after the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Va., this week denied its request for a rehearing, The News & Observer of Raleigh reported Friday. The newspaper sued the airport in 2004 along with The Durham Herald Co., The New York Times Co. and Gannett Co., which publishes USA Today. The publishers argued the airport’s ban was a free-speech violation. “The Authority claimed its total newsrack ban was justified by revenue, security, congestion, and aesthetic concerns. But those claims suffered from the fact that the Authority allowed installations dispensing every other item a traveler might conceivably buy,” Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson III wrote in the ruling. The authority said it would pick one location in the ticketing area and a second in the baggage claim area in each of the airport’s two terminals to cluster newspaper boxes. “No newsracks will be located within the secure corridors of the terminals,” the airport said in a statement. There are eight retail shops selling newspapers and other reading materials in the secure area. The airport will provide its own newspaper boxes, charge rent for them, and keep advertising off their exterior. N&O publisher Orage Quarles III said the newspaper won’t be satisfied with the airport’s
terms. Air travelers are in a hurry to get through the security checkpoint when they arrive and look for a newspaper only after they pass through security checkpoints. “We want to be right next to the Redbox,” Quarles said, referring to the movie DVD vending machines the airport has installed on the secure passenger concourses. The airport argued in the lawsuit that travelers have enough opportunities to get papers at airport shops. The newspapers said that puts them at the mercy of merchants. “We just want strategic locations, for the convenience of our customers. We never anticipated loading up the terminals with news racks. But there are times when papers aren’t available,” Quarles said. U.S. District Judge Terrence W. Boyle ruled against the airport authority in 2008 and ordered it to repay the newspapers for their legal expenses. An appellate court upheld Boyle’s ruling in March, when the airport said its legal bills had reached $503,000 and the newspapers said they had spent more than $400,000. The airport is owned by local governments in Wake and Durham counties, and its legal costs are covered by airport revenues. “It is regrettable that the Airport Authority had to be involved in litigating this matter in the first place, but the insistence of the newspapers on being allowed to place news racks anywhere on the airport and in whatever numbers they wished left us no choice,” airport authority board chairman Robb Teer said in a statement.

STATE BRIEFS Jobless rate falls to 10 percent in June
Auditor: textbook oversight too lax
Sale of conserved seaside tract prompts new law
RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina’s unemployment rate fell to 10 percent in June, a full percentage point improvement in the past year, but still higher than the national jobless rate. The unemployment rate released Friday by the state Employment Security Commission was the fourth straight monthly decline. The rate was 10.4 percent in May and 11 percent in June 2009. The national rate is 9.5 percent. But the report is not all good news. The number of people drawing a paycheck fell by 5,557 in June to just over 4 million. But the number of people listed as unemployed fell faster, by 20,468. People are counted as unemployed only if they are actively looking for work and haven’t found a job. In the past 12 months, the number of jobs has increased by 45,000.

COROLLA (AP) — One of North Carolina’s most powerful politicians wants to stop the sale of land that has received conservation tax breaks. The Virginian-Pilot of Norfolk, Va., reported Friday that Senate leader Marc Basnight acted after the conservation group Audubon decided to sell an oceanfront tract. The Dare County Democrat pushed legislation through the General Assembly last week that prevents the sale of land donated for conservation that has received state tax breaks. Audubon plans to sell nearly 13 seaside acres in Corolla to a developer building a hotel, shops, and condominiums. The property has become surrounded by homes, a hotel and a drive-in restaurant. Audubon officials said proceeds would help maintain its 2,600 acres on Currituck Sound.
Cause of soldier’s death listed as undetermined
RALEIGH — Auditors can’t recommend how taxpayer money could be saved on North Carolina’s public school textbooks because the state education department does a poor job keeping track whether local districts use textbook funds wisely, according to a state report released Friday. State Auditor Beth Wood said her office failed to complete a performance audit on the Department of Public Instruction’s textbook program because it doesn’t require districts to provide inventory reports or to itemize how many math, civics or science books need replacing because they were lost or damaged. That information could help the department and the General Assembly better calculate how much money is truly needed and where problems may arise with high book losses, Wood said. Right now, the depart-
Funeral services set for Del. pilot
FORT BRAGG (AP) — Military officials say they don’t know what killed a North Carolina-based soldier who died during a training exercise, but they know he didn’t die from a snake bite as originally determined. The Fayetteville Observer reported Friday that the military reopened the investigation into the cause of the death of 19-year-old Pfc. Norman Murburg III at the request of his family. Murburg was found dead June 10, 2008, after he disappeared during Special Forces Assessment and Selection training at Fort Bragg. A spokesman for Army Vice Chief of Staff Gen. Peter Chiarelli says the Army will list Murburg’s cause of death as undetermined.
NEW CASTLE, Del. (AP) — Funeral services are set for a Delaware pilot who died in a small plane crash in North Carolina. Thomas Pitts will be buried Wednesday after a funeral at Immaculate Heart of Mary church in Brandywine Hundred. Pitts was killed after his plane bounced and then veered into a tree after he tried to land at Horace Williams Airport in Chapel Hill on Monday. Two passengers in the plane were injured. Pitts was flying a charity mission, taking passenger Kyle Henn to join his family after Henn’s brother, Nate Henn, was killed in terrorist bombings in Uganda last Sunday.
ment uses a per-pupil formula, adjusted for inflation, to allocate money for textbooks. “You just don’t have any figures from any years,� Wood said. “It’s just a tool that should have been in place so you can step back and say ’yeah, we’re budgeting this correctly’ or ’no, were not.�’ The state pays for textbooks but it’s the job of the 115 districts to store them properly and account for how the money was spent. The General Assembly cut the textbook budget by more than half last year to $35.5 million due to the state’s fiscal crisis. The amount was supposed to go down even further starting July 1 with a moratorium on adopting new textbooks. Districts are allowed to transfer textbook funds to a budget line-item to buy other supplies. In a written response released with the report, state schools superintendent June Atkinson and chief financial officer Philip Price largely
agreed with the findings. They said the department would require inventory data on a regular basis that identifies lost and damaged textbooks to help prepare estimates for budget requests. Ben Matthews, whose office overseeing the state’s textbook division, said in an interview the program is being managed well. He said the agency is already saving lots of money for the state through a central state warehouse that doesn’t keep massive inventories and gets a bulk purchase discount. “Our duty is to provide the textbooks,� Matthews said. “We do that with great savings to our state.� Wood said she understood that state law puts the job of keeping track of books on the shoulders of local districts, but the department can’t fulfill its compliance obligations unless it has the data at its disposal. About 8 percent of all annual textbook purchases go to replace books, not including book
editions that have been newly adopted. The department also will ask the State Board of Education to lay out procedures districts must follow when they order books that identifies their actual textbook inventory, the response said. The audit report also found the department had neither established expectations on how long textbooks should last nor analyzed a book’s useful life in the classroom. Atkinson and Price wrote they would determine a life expectancy. Wood said she was pleased with the department’s response. But Matthews, director of school support within DPI, said he believes the textbook office already keeps close tabs on what local districts are buying and knows books last about five years — that’s the length for most book contracts. The changes will be made all the same, Matthews said, because “there was no need to fight over this.�
WILMINGTON
Killer’s guilty plea to keep him off death row WILMINGTON (AP) — A convicted killer has pleaded guilty to a second slaying in a deal that keeps him off North Carolina’s death row. Former gang leader Kyle Berry, 31, admitted to the 1998 fatal stabbing and beating of Lisa Maves, 42, of Raleigh, The StarNews of Wilmington reported Friday. Berry had twice been sentenced to death after he and three other men stabbed and beat 16-yearold Theresa Fetter in what
authorities said was an attempt to cover up Maves’ slaying two months earlier. Both women were stabbed in the skull. Berry had been charged in Maves’ murder but never tried for it. Berry was sentenced to consecutive life terms as part of the plea deal in exchange for the state backing down from pursuing the death sentence a third time for Fetter’s death. Berry also waived any appeals of his conviction or sentence in the
Maves case. Prosecutors said Maves was strolling on Wrightsville Beach with a bottle of vodka when she met Berry and a friend, Jon Malonee. Maves told the men she had a fight with her boyfriend, Berry’s friend Bobby Autry told investigators. “Autry said the defendant told him Lisa looked depressed, so he eliminated her pain by stabbing her in the head after he and Malonee kicked and beat her,� prosecutor Dru
Lewis said. Malonee, 28, is serving a 14- to nearly 18-year sentence after pleading guilty to second-degree murder in Maves’ killing. Autry told Fetter about Maves’ murder. So Berry, Autry and two others stabbed and beat her to death. Autry and the others pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in the teen’s death and are in prison. Berry’s two death sentences for the girl’s slaying were both overturned.

Feds: Test results not as good as hoped
NEW ORLEANS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Pressure readings have been less than ideal from the new cap shutting oil into BPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s busted well, but the crude will remain locked in while engineers look for evidence of whether there is an undiscovered leak, the federal point man for the disaster said Friday. Retired Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen said on a conference call that pressure readings from the cap have not reached the level that would show there are no new leaks in the well. Allen said BPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s test of the cap, which started 24 hours previously by shutting three valves and stopping the flow of oil into the water, would continue for at least 6 hours. It was scheduled to last up to 48 hours. He said the developments were â&#x20AC;&#x153;generally good newsâ&#x20AC;? but needed close monitoring. Allen said there are two possible reasons being debated by scientists on the project for why the pressure hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t risen as high as desired: The reservoir that is the source of the oil could be depleting after a three-month spill, or there could be an undiscovered leak somewhere down in the well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know because we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know the exact condition of the well bore,â&#x20AC;? Allen said. He said the test will go ahead for another 6-hour period before being reassessed to see if BP needs to reopen the cap and go back to piping some of the

If it were reopened, Allen said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no doubt there would be some discharge into the environment.â&#x20AC;? Pressure readings after 24 hours were about 6,700 pounds per square inch and rising slowly, Allen said, below the 7,500 psi that would clearly show the well was not leaking. He said pressure continued to rise between 2 and 10 psi per hour. He said a seismic probe of the surrounding sea floor found no sign of a leak in the ground, one of the major concerns because oil erupting into the surroundings would be harder to contain and could weaken the well before it is plugged for good. The cap is a temporary measure. Even if it holds, BP needs to plug the gusher with cement and mud deep underground, where the seal will hold more permanently than any cap from above could. Kent Wells, BP PLC vice president, earlier
said readings after the first 17 hours showed no signs that oil was escaping through unknown breaches farther down in the well piping that leads deep under the sea floor to the oil reservoir. Wells also said work would resume on a relief well, the oil giantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more permanent solution meant to plug the leak for good underground to end one of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worst environmental catastrophes. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a sign that things were going well. Engineers had stopped drilling one of the wells Thursday in case that bore hole deep underground could be affected by the oil cap effort. BP finally stopped oil from spewing into the sea Thursday for the first time since an April 20 explosion on the BP-leased Deepwater Horizon oil rig killed 11 workers and unleashed the spill 5,000 feet beneath the waterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surface. It came after repeated attempts to stop the oil
â&#x20AC;&#x201D; everything from robotics to different capping techniques to stuffing the hole with mud and golf balls. The week leading up to the moment where the oil cloud ended was a fitful series of starts and setbacks. President Barack Obama said Friday the progress was good news, but cautioned an anxious public not to â&#x20AC;&#x153;get too far ahead of ourselves.â&#x20AC;? Obama said the cap was still being tested and there was still an â&#x20AC;&#x153;enormous clean up jobâ&#x20AC;? and ensuring quick compensation for Gulf residents and business in the offing. The accomplishment was greeted with hope, high expectations â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and, in many cases along the beleaguered coastline, disbelief. BP Chief Operating Officer Doug Suttles late Thursday urged caution and warned the flow could resume, saying it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a time for celebration. There was no end in sight to cleaning up somewhere between 94 million and 184 million gallons that the government estimates spilled into the Gulf. Long strands of white absorbent boom strung along the beach were stained chocolate brown at Orange Beach, Ala., early Friday after a fresh wave of pea-sized tar balls washed ashore. Charter boat captains who canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fish because of the oil spill patrolled the shore looking for more oil slicks. A few miles away, an oily sheen swirled around a $4.6 million steel oil barrier erected at the pass into Perdido Bay, located near the Alabama-Florida border. Orange Beach Mayor Tony Kennon said shutting the well was a hopeful sign, but the damage is done. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The other side is theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not paying claims and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m watching people moving away, people losing their jobs, everything theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got. How can I be that happy when thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening to my neighbor?â&#x20AC;?
Minor earthquake shakes up U.S. capitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s movers
Less-confident consumers could stall recovery
WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Earthquakes are so rare in the Washington area that even a geology student wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite sure what was going on when a minor one hit early Friday. Was it a truck passing by? A low-flying plane? Gerasimos Michalitsianos, who will be a senior at the University of Maryland, College Park, was sitting on his couch looking at e-mails when the 3.6-magnitude temblor occurred. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t actually know that I was in an earthquake,â&#x20AC;? said Michalitsianos, who is studying postseismic relaxation, how the ground changes following major earthquakes. Michalitsianos said he only found out heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been through an earthquake when he looked online. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a rare treat to see an earthquake occur here on the East Coast and to actually feel it,â&#x20AC;? he said. Washington area residents are used to politicians being the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s movers and shakers, so it was a surprise when the earth below shook. The earthquake rattled windows and jostled dishes but apparently caused no serious damage. President Barack Obama told reporters he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel it.
WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Consumers are having second thoughts about the recovery. Shoppers are losing confidence, becoming more concerned about low pay and a weak job market than about bargains. And their worries are threatening to drag down the economy. A report released Friday showed that consumer confidence fell in July to its lowest point in nearly a year. A volatile stock market, near-double-digit unemployment, lackluster wage gains and a stalled housing market have raised fears that the recovery is on the verge of stalling. Americans reacted by clamping down on their spending in May and June. Many cut back after the stock market lost about 10 percent of its value over the past three months, as Europeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s debt crisis shook Wall Street. The resulting loss of household wealth has left many Americans less inclined to spend. Retail sales were weak this spring and probably slowed growth in the second quarter. Consumer spending accounts for about 70 percent of growth.
N.J. parking garage collapses; at least 1 trapped HACKENSACK, N.J. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A glass canopy attached to a high-rise condominium building fell onto a parking garage two stories below on Friday, partially collapsing the underground structure and trapping at least one person, authorities said. Using a remote-controlled camera, rescuers could see the victim in a car on the first level down but couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get to the person because they were concerned about the possibility of another collapse at the three-story garage, Hackensack fire Lt. Stephen Lindner said. They could not determine the victimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s condition. Crews were clearing debris and shoring up the structure before they could attempt to rescue the victim.
Obamasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Maine weekend: biking and ocean views ACADIA NATIONAL PARK, Maine (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Cheered by a key victory in Congress and good news from the Gulf oil spill zone, a relaxed President Barack Obama began a weekend holiday Friday on a sun-dappled mountain peak overlooking the rocky Atlantic coast. Within hours of landing at the Bar Harbor airport in a smaller version of Air Force One, Obama, his wife Michelle and daughters Malia and Sasha were clambering over the granite outcrops at the summit of Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park. At 1,530 feet, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the tallest peak along the East Coast, according to the National Park Service. The family also went cycling for an hour on a secluded bike trail along a nearby lake. Their visit was scheduled to end Sunday morning; no public events were planned.

STAR WARS IN CONCERT
E-BRIEFS
The Force makes its way to Raleigh
RALEIGH — “Star Wars” fans who’ve always wanted a live symphony to introduce the booming opening score to the six-film saga will have that chance Sunday in Raleigh. “Star Wars: In Concert” will perform two shows — 3 and 7 p.m. Sunday — at the RBC Center. The tour, hosted by C3PO himself, Anthony Daniels, features a symphony orchestra and choir performing composer John Williams’ music from the six films. The performances are narrated live by Daniels and accompanied by a three-story-tall high-definition screen displaying movie footage synchronized to the live music. “My role is not to be 3P0,’” said Daniels, who served as master of ceremonies when the concert debuted at London’s O2 arena in April. “It is to be the host, to be the narrator. I very simply tell the story in segements. 3P0 certianly features on screen quite a lot, and there are moments on stage when his spirit shines through.” Star Wars creator George Lucas says the concert’s creators have taken key themes from the music and cut together all the images that fit with each theme. “So you can really get a sense of how the music played into the images,” said Lucas. “The whole soundtrack is a testament to John Williams’ creativity and his extraordinary ability to enhance the emotional as-

Accompanying the concert is an exclusive exhibit of Star Wars costumes, props, artifacts, production artwork and specially created behind-the-scenes videos from the Lucasfilm Archives. Many of these pieces have left Skywalker Ranch for the first time.
The exhibit features many classic fan favorite artifacts, as well as several new and neverbefore-seen items, including: n Full costumes for Jedi Masters Kit Fisto and Plo Koon will be on display. n For the first time ever, pages from John Williams’ original hand-written sheet music for Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace will be exhibited for the public. n Also on display will be various never-before-seen props from the films, including blasters and helmets from Coruscant, Tatooine and other iconic Star Wars locations. As of Friday evening, tickets
were still available for both showings, according to the RBC Center’s website, www. rbccenter.com. Tickets from from $25 to $65, and groups of 10 or more can receive $5 off each ticket. For a sneak peek of the concert and some of the presented footage, visit www. starwarsinconcert.com.

Aerosmith’s Perry injured in motorcycle accident MIDDLEBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Authorities say Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry was rear-ended by a car when he was riding a motorcycle, and he has been treated for minor injuries at a Massachusetts hospital. Middleborough police say Perry was on his 2009 Ducati Monster 696 early Perry Thursday afternoon when he was struck from behind by a car driven by 62year-old Linda O’Brien. Both vehicles were traveling at a low speed. The 59-year-old Perry, who lives in nearby Duxbury, was taken to a hospital and released a couple of hours later. A hospital spokeswoman did not release the nature of his injuries. O’Brien, who was not injured, was cited for following too closely.
Lucille Ball letters, awards to be sold at auction LOS ANGELES (AP) — Some of Lucille Ball’s love letters and awards will be sold at auction after a judge ruled to block the sale but imposed a hurdle that the comedienne’s daughter cannot overcome. While Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Robert O’Brien agreed to block the sale Friday, he imposed a $250,000 bond that Lucie Arnaz Luckinbill would have to pay to get a restraining order issued. Her attorney, Ronald Palmieri, said the amount is too high and can’t be met. Luckinbill is the daughter of Ball and first husband Desi Arnaz. She sought the return of some of the items after Susie Morton, the widow of Ball’s second husband, Gary Morton, offered them for sale. Ball and Gary Morton were married until the time of the actress’ death in 1989.
Pink taken to hospital after stage fall BERLIN (AP) — A spokesman for Pink’s concerts in Germany says the singer fell off the stage after a stunt went wrong and she underwent a checkup at a hospital. Peter Riegert Concerts’ Stefan Guentner said Friday the singer wasn’t seriously injured in the incident on Thursday evening in Nuremberg. While singing “So What,” Pink fell out of a harness which was supposed to carry her toward the crowd. A YouTube video shows the 30-yearold climbing back onto the stage after the incident, but the concert was halted and she was taken to a hospital.

Apple CEO Steve Jobs talks about the Apple iPhone 4 at Apple headquarters in Cupertino, Calif., Friday. questions with Appleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief operating officer, Tim Cook, and Bob Mansfield, a senior Apple executive in charge of hardware engineering. Phones usually have an antenna inside the body. In designing the iPhone 4, Apple took a gamble on a new design, using parts of the phoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outer casing as the antenna. That saved space inside the tightly packed body of the phone, but meant that covering a spot on the lower left edge blocked the wireless signal. Consumer Reports magazine said covering the spot with a case or even a piece of duct tape alleviates the problem. It refused to give the iPhone 4 its â&#x20AC;&#x153;recommendedâ&#x20AC;? stamp of approval for that reason, and on Monday it urged Apple to compensate buyers and fix the problem. The company had been criticized about spotty iPhone service even before the newest model
came out. On Friday, in the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first remarks following the magazineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report, Jobs said Apple was â&#x20AC;&#x153;stunned and upset and embarrassed.â&#x20AC;? Jobs said the iPhone 4â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s antenna issue isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t widespread, with just over five out of every 1,000 complaining to Appleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s warranty service and less than 2 percent returning the device. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not feeling right now that we have a giant problem we need to fix,â&#x20AC;? Jobs said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This has been blown so out of proportion that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s incredible.â&#x20AC;? Analysts have criticized Appleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s responses to reports of reception problems as dismissive, and cautioned that the company shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come across as arrogant. A curt note attributed to Jobs told one early iPhone buyer to either hold the phone a different way or buy a case. Apple has also said the

Jobs on iPhone4: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t perfectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;
CUPERTINO, Calif. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A perfect iPhone? Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no app for that. Apple Inc. will give free protective cases to buyers of its latest iPhone to prevent reception problems that occur when people cover a certain spot on the phone with a bare hand. CEO Steve Jobs apologized Friday to people who are less than satisfied with the iPhone 4, even as he denied it has an antenna problem that needs fixing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not perfect,â&#x20AC;? Jobs said at a news conference. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Phones arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t perfect.â&#x20AC;?

main problem is actually with software, not antenna design. Apple said it recently discovered that iPhones display more cell phone signal â&#x20AC;&#x153;barsâ&#x20AC;? than they should, leaving people who believed they had a strong signal frustrated by dropped calls. Apple issued a software update Thursday that it said would make the number of bars shown on the phoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face more accurate. But Consumer Reports painted the problem as much broader. On Friday, the magazine said the free cases were â&#x20AC;&#x153;a good first step toward Apple identifying and finding a solution for the signal-loss problem of the iPhone 4.â&#x20AC;? Dan Hays, who focuses on telecommunications at management consulting firm PRTM, said it was striking that Jobs said the iPhone 4 drops one more call out of 100 than the previous model, the 3GS. That doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sound like a big difference, but a typical U.S. phone only drops one to 1.5 calls per 100, so it could be that the iPhone 4 drops nearly twice as many calls as the older model, Hays said. No phone owner wants a gadget that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work. But many people who have bought an iPhone 4 or are considering one seem willing to forgive the antenna problem because they like its other features so much. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not really my concern because I hardly make calls,â&#x20AC;? said Ross Beck, a 22-year-old student in Seattle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Honestly, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t faze me. I know Apple and I know they fix their mistakes.â&#x20AC;?
US analyst, wife sentenced for spying for Cuba WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The 73-year-old great grandson of Alexander Graham Bell was sentenced Friday to life in prison without parole for quietly spying for Cuba for nearly a third of a century from inside the State Department. His wife was sentenced to 5 1/2 years. Retired intelligence analyst Kendall Myers said he meant his country no harm and stole secrets only to help Cubaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s people who â&#x20AC;&#x153;have good reason to feel threatenedâ&#x20AC;? by U.S. intentions of ousting the communist Castro government. But U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton said Myers and his 72-year-old wife, Gwendolyn, had betrayed America and should receive heavy punishment. Justice Department prosecutor Michael Harvey said the couple received medals from Cuban intelligence and were flown to the island nation for a visit with Fidel Castro in 1995. They pleaded guilty last November. The coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overriding objective was to help the Cuban people defend their revolution, Myers told Walton. He said that he and his wife tried to accurately report what U.S. policy was toward Cuba, to warn Cuba and to try to assess the nature of any threat.
28 killed in hotel fire in Iraqâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kurdish region BAGHDAD (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A fierce blaze at a hotel without fire escapes sent some desperate guests plunging to their deaths in a northern Iraqi oil boomtown, killing 28 people.

Sunni group claims Iran mosque blast killing 27 TEHRAN, Iran (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A Sunni insurgent group said it carried out a double suicide bombing against a Shiite mosque in southeast Iran to avenge the execution of its leader, as Iranian authorities Friday said the death toll rose to 27 people, including members of the elite Revolutionary Guard. The insurgent group, Jundallah, has repeatedly succeeded in carrying out deadly strikes on the Guard, the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most powerful military force â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including an October suicide bombing that killed more than 40 people. The new attack was a sign that the group is still able to carry out devastating bombings even after Iran hanged its leader Abdulmalik Rigi and his brother earlier this year. Shiite worshippers were attending ceremonies marking the birthday of the Prophet Muhammadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grandson, Hussein, when the first blast went off at the entrance of the mosque in the provincial capital Zahedan. The male bomber was disguised as a woman, local lawmaker Hossein Ali Shahriari told the ISNA news agency.

YANKEES REMEMBER ‘THE BOSS’ WITH TRIBUTE
NEW YORK (AP) — The Yankees have celebrated the life of George Steinbrenner with a solemn 15-minute pregame tribute that included an emotional remembrance from captain Derek Jeter. Steinbrenner died Tuesday of a heart attack at age 80 after 37 1/2 years as owner of America’s most famous team. The Yankees played Tampa Bay on Friday night in their first game since his death and that of longtime public-address announcer Bob Sheppard. Manager Joe Girardi cried and Jeter’s face was choked with emotion as the Yankees stood at attention in front of their dugout. Mariano Rivera laid roses across home plate before “Taps” was played.

KIM, MCDANIEL IN FINALS AT PUBLINX
GREENSBORO (AP) — Lion Kim birdied his final two holes to beat Kevin Phelan in the semifinals of the U.S. Amateur Public Links on Friday, and will face David McDaniel for the championship at Bryan Park Golf and Conference Center. The 21-year-old senior-to-be from the University of Michigan beat Phelan, who plays for North Florida, 1 up after making two long putts on the final two holes. McDaniel also won 1 up over Pepperdine’s Josh Anderson to set up Saturday’s final. Kim trailed Phelan by two holes through No. 12 before finally getting hot. He pulled ahead by winning three of the next four, and although Phelan hit tight approach shots at Nos. 17 and 18, Kim rolled in putts from 20- and 10- feet to keep the lead and win the match.

Miller’s contract was announced by the team Friday afternoon. The 6-foot-8 shooter agreed in principle about a week earlier to a five-year deal worth about $25 million and actually signed his contract Thursday, but it took about another 24 hours for it become finalized because of other paperwork issues. “From the first moment that we met Mike on July 1, it seemed like it would be a match made in heaven,” Heat president Pat Riley said in a statement. “We consider him to be the finest perimeter shooter in the NBA.” Miller made 48 percent of his 3-pointers last season for Washington, second-best in the NBA behind Kyle Korver.

South Africa’s Louis Oosthuizen putts on the 13th green during the second round of the British Open Golf Championship on the Old Course Friday at St. Andrews, Scotland. Oosthuizen ended the second round at 12-under 132 and currently holds the lead.
Fierce wind makes for brutal day at St. Andrews By DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer
ST. ANDREWS, Scotland — Around the loop at the far end of St. Andrews, shots at the mercy of a vicious wind were flying in every direction as Rory McIlroy, Tiger Woods and so many others struggled to survive in the British Open. Just as daunting was one thing that didn’t move — the name of Louis Oosthuizen atop the leaderboard. It stayed there over the final 11 hours on a Friday when the mood of the Old Course turned foul. Oosthuizen finished his 5-under 67 just as the flags starting whipping and the grandstands creaked from gusts that topped 40 mph, forcing a round to be halted for the first time in 12 years at the British Open. “She was naked yesterday,” Tom Watson said,

Tiger Woods watches his approach shot onto the fourth green during the second round of the British Open Golf Championship Friday on the Old Course at St. Andrews, Scotland.
ST. ANDREWS, Scotland — Tom Watson put one hand on the Swilcan Bridge, bent over and kissed the ancient stones. This was no tearful goodbye. Rather, a fond farewell. Watson played his last round in a British Open at St. Andrews on Friday, assured of missing the cut after shooting a 3-over 75. “St. Andrews, when I first played here, I didn’t like it,” he said. “But I learned to like it. And, eventuWatson ally, to love it.” Several hundred fans stuck around in the fading light for one last glimpse of Watson on the Old Course, and he didn’t disappoint. With playing partners Padraig Harrington and Ryo Ishikawa well ahead so as not to steal his moment, Watson kissed the bridge and then took a last, nostalgic walk over it. As applause and shouts of “We love you, Tom!” rang out, Watson stood on top of the bridge, took off his cap and waved it at the crowd. He gave a thumbs up and then stood still, soaking it all in — just as his old friends and rivals Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus had done before him. “It just seemed the right thing to do,” Watson said. “I thought of Arnold on the bridge and I thought of Jack on the bridge. Their last Opens were both right here at St. Andrews. My last Open is not, the good Lord willing and the creek don’t rise.” Thanks in large part to Watson, the Royal and Ancient now allows past champions to play the Open until they are 65. He put on a feel-good show for the ages at Turnberry last year, nearly becoming the oldest major champion in history a few months shy of his 60th birthday. He went to the 72nd hole with a onestroke lead, but there was no magical ending — he

charlotte bobcats
Dampier not opposed to re-signing with Bobcats CHARLOTTE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Erick Dampier began his pro career playing for Larry Brown. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not opposed to finishing it playing for Brown again, even if the Charlotte Bobcats void the final year of his contract. The newly acquired center indicated Friday the Bobcats would get the first chance to re-sign him â&#x20AC;&#x201D; presumably for a much smaller salary â&#x20AC;&#x201D; if they decide to wipe out the non-guaranteed $13 million due in the final year of his deal to clear salary-cap space. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would obviously give Charlotte the first opportunity and see what
they say, see if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re interested in me or not,â&#x20AC;? Dampier said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll go from there. If theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not interested in me Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure there are other teams out there that could possibly be interested.â&#x20AC;? The 6-foot-11 Dampierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career began in Indiana when he was the 10th overall pick of the Pacers, then coached by the welltraveled Brown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Practices were hard. He was hard on the rookies, but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good coach,â&#x20AC;? Dampier said. The Bobcats acquired the 34-year-old Dampier from Dallas on Tuesday in a five-player deal. The
Mavericks had been dangling Dampier for weeks to teams in need of salary cap relief, with dreams as robust as using his contract in a sign-and-trade to get LeBron James, Dwyane Wade or Chris Bosh. That didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen, and the Mavericks eventually settled on sending Dampier, Matt Carroll and Eduardo Najera to the Bobcats for centers Tyson Chandler and Alexis Ajinca. While the Mavericks cleared cap space and got two expiring contracts, Dampier helps Charlotte solve its tricky cap situation. Before the deal, the Bobcatsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; payroll was only
about $3 million shy of reaching the luxury tax, territory owner Michael Jordan said they wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reach. General manager Rod Higgins described Dampier as having â&#x20AC;&#x153;one of the most valuable contracts in the league.â&#x20AC;? Higgins indicated the Bobcats could waive him, or use his contract in another trade. Dampier said Higgins has expressed interest in possibly re-signing him if they void his deal. He expects discussions to heat up this weekend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For me itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just limbo. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really know whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to happen at this point,â&#x20AC;? Dampier said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m working out and my main focus has pretty much been on working out. I let my agent take care of all the contract negotiations.â&#x20AC;?

Daly finds drama â&#x20AC;&#x201D; again â&#x20AC;&#x201D; at Open ST. ANDREWS, Scotland (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Playing in wind gusting so hard it was tough to keep a cigarette lit, John Daly made another big move on the British Open leaderboard Friday â&#x20AC;&#x201D; backward. A day after matching his best round at the British, golfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite sideshow stormed off the Old Course after shooting a 4-over 76. And heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not even totally out of it. At 2 under for the tournament, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Daly 10 strokes behind leader Louis Oosthuizen. But heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only five behind Mark Calcavecchia, and four strokes behind the group at 6 under. Daly is perhaps golfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most colorful figure â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not because of those garish pants he sports. (He broke out the hot pink paisley for the second round, pairing them with a lime green cap and a shirt that was just a shade quieter. Not to be outdone, his girlfriend wore leggings that matched his pants.) That Daly is a unique talent has never been in question. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go from last alternate to major champion, as he did at the 1991 PGA Championship, without considerable game. And you sure donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t win a second major â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the British Open at St. Andrews, no less â&#x20AC;&#x201D; by being lucky. But his nickname was â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wild Thing,â&#x20AC;? and he did his best to live up to it. He has four ex-wives, and he ate, drank and gambled to excess. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been suspended by the PGA Tour five times, and fined $100,000. At 44, the toll of his hard living etched on his face, even Daly seems to have had enough of his highwire act. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lost almost 100 pounds since having Lap-Band surgery in February 2009, and said he quit drinking. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s working on his game again now that rib and back injuries have healed. The work showed Thursday, when he took advantage of the mild morning conditions to shoot a 66 that left him three strokes off the lead in a tie for third.
McIlroy goes from glory to misery ST. ANDREWS, Scotland (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; His eyes rolled. His head swayed. His shoulders slumped. Rory McIlroy looked like he was on the verge of a full-scale tantrum. He was the first-round leader of the British Open. Now, he was just a kid not getting his way. The 21-year-old hotshot from Northern Ireland received quite a whipping from the Old Course on Friday. A day earlier, he tied the major-championship record by shooting a 9-under 63 in pristine conditions. But with the wind howling â&#x20AC;&#x201D; so much so that play was actually suspended for about an hour â&#x20AC;&#x201D; McIlroy went tumbling down the leaderboard. He signed for an 80. No player had ever shot such a high score after going so low the day before in
a major tournament. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was just very, very difficult out there,â&#x20AC;? McIlroy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just let it get away from me a little bit.â&#x20AC;? His frustration nearly boiled over at the 18th hole, when he drove up next to the green then watched his uphill putt fail to clear the ridge and roll back down. He broke into a pained smile, as if he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe what was happening, and lined up for another whack. This time, it held about 5 feet from the cup. McIlroy put down his marker, snatched up the ball and looked ready to scream. He gathered himself and made the par putt. At least heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll make the cut with a 1-under 143 total. That was about the only thing he could take from this long, lost day at St.
Andrews. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of big players that have missed the cut this weekend,â&#x20AC;? said McIlroy, who went from a two-stroke lead to trailing new leader Louis Oosthuizen by a staggering 11 shots. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So at least Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m here for the weekend, which is a positive.â&#x20AC;? The round took a turn for the worse for McIlroy when British Open officials decided to suspend play because howling winds were causing balls to wobble on the greens. He was off to a solid start when the horn sounded, with pars on the first three holes. When he returned to the course after a delay of 1 hour, 5 minutes, he was not the same golfer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think they should have called us off the golf course,â&#x20AC;? he said.
Watson
gentlemanly manner is part of what has drawn fans to him for so many years, and that love was evident Friday night. Fans leaned out secondfloor windows of one of the hotels lining the 18th hole to cheer him. Every time he started to walk off the Swilcan Bridge, they broke into a new round of
applause to hold him there just a few seconds longer. Finally, with one long, last look around, he waved and left. Caddie Neil Oxman put his arm around Watson when he caught up to him, and the two resumed their last stroll up the 18th fairway. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The main thing is
the respect I have for the way the game is played here. And the respect that the people have for their game,â&#x20AC;? Watson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Scots invented golf, and they love the game with a passion unlike any other people. I enjoy that.â&#x20AC;? And Watson gave them one last thrill, chipping on and rolling to the very edge
of the cup. The ball refused to drop for an eagle, but it allowed him to walk away with one last birdie. Just like Jack. Watson never did win the claret jug on this course, but he leaves with no regrets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;None at all,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had my opportunities here.â&#x20AC;?
and Jack Nicklaus did in 2000 and 2005. And just like Nicklaus five years ago, Watson finished with a birdie. His wedge across the Valley of Sin stopped an inch from the hole. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I pulled it just an inch,â&#x20AC;? Watson said after his 75 to finish at 4-over 148. The cut will not be made until Saturday, but it was unlikely to go further than 2-over par. Oosthuizen made seven birdies in his round of 67, finishing with a 15-foot birdie putt. Far more compelling were the players trying to make par as the wind raged off St. Andrews Bay. No one suffered quite like McIlroy. One day after his record-tying 63, the 21-yearold from Northern Ireland was blown away by shots into the rough and putts that he could not control in the wind. He wound up with an 80 and staggered off the course 11 shots out
of the lead. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think all the guys were finding it tough this afternoon, and I just let it get away from me a little bit,â&#x20AC;? McIlroy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I actually did well to par the last three holes, if Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m totally honest. It could have been an 82 or an 83. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m here for the weekend, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not all bad, but definitely a complete contrast to what it was like yesterday.â&#x20AC;? How tough? Of the last 75 players who completed the round, none broke par. Thirty players had to return Saturday morning to finish the second round, including British Amateur champion Jin Jeong, who was at 5under par. Woods won the last two times at St. Andrews by a combined 13 shots. The Old Course was nothing like it was Friday afternoon, and it was rare for the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s No. 1 player to feel so satisfied after a 73. He three-putted the
first two holes as the wind made lag putts difficult to get within 6 feet. Woods finished with the most dramatic shot of this tournament, a driver on the 357-yard 18th hole that climbed the hill and rolled within inches of banging into the pin. His eagle putt caught the left lip, meaning one more stroke he has to make up. Woods was at 4-under 140. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m eight back, and today was a day I could have easily shot myself out of the tournament, especially the start I got off to,â&#x20AC;? Woods said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I put it back together again and pieced together a pretty good round.â&#x20AC;? Phil Mickelson shot a 71 to finish at even-par 144,
and the horn sounded to stop play not long after he finished. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were tough until it got called here, until it got suspended,â&#x20AC;? Mickelson said, referring to the conditions. Then he added with heavy sarcasm before leaving, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy for those guys. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great.â&#x20AC;? It was anything but that. Some players came off the course fuming about the one-hour delay, noting that conditions didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t improve. Play was stopped because of gusts that caused the ball to wobble on the green, and at times on the fairway. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Either it should not have been stopped at all or they should not have put us back out,â&#x20AC;? Tim Clark said after an 80.

African, who had made only one cut in his previous eight majors, was at 12-under 132 and had a five-shot lead, the largest after 36 holes in this major since Bobby Clampett at Royal Troon in 1982. Equally surprising was the guy right behind him â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Mark Calcavecchia, who turned 50 a month ago and shot 67 in the morning when players only had to cope with a light wind and short spells of rain. A pair of Englishmen, Lee Westwood (71) and Paul Casey (69), were at 6-under 138. At least an exasperating day ended with a heartwarming moment. Watson, the 60-year-old who came within an 8-foot putt of winning last year at Turnberry, played his final Open round at St. Andrews, the only Scottish links where he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t win the claret jug. The five-time champion leaned over to kiss the Swilcan Bridge, then posed atop the stone arch just as Arnold Palmer did in 1995

early August. “There’s big time stars here,” said Richmond, who averaged 8.7 points per game and set the school record for the most 3-pointers made by a freshman in URI history with 81. “Playing against these big time NBA and college players is only going to make you a better player. That’s all I’m looking to do.” Richmond, who traditionally plays shooting guard with the Rams, has been playing point guard for Body of Christ and has paced the team to a 3-1 record so far. “I’ve been getting some good experience playing point guard,” said Richmond. “I think that I’m going be playing a little bit of point next season at Rhode Island, so I’m getting better with experience.” Richmond’s goal for the summer is to add a new ele-

ment to his game. He plans on driving a lot more to the basket and improving his mid-range game. “I’ve been working hard all off-season on my midrange game and getting to the hole,” said Richmond. “I feel like the hard work is starting to pay off because I’m doing it a lot more this summer and I’m getting to the line a lot. During the season, I think it’ll be a lot easier because I’ve been working on it all off-season.” On top of improving his all-around game in the ProAm, Richmond has also been in the gym lifting weights and getting stronger as he tries to earn a starting role in head coach Jim Barron’s program. “I’ve been working hard,” said Richmond. “I’ve been going twice a day. I work out basketball wise and I work out with weights and conditioning. All I’m trying to do is be the best player I can be. That means I’ve got to be quicker and stronger.” Even though he’s been

spending a lot of his time playing in the Pro-Am and working out in the gym, Richmond has still found time to give back to the Sanford community. Earlier this week, First Baptist Church hosted its annual Upward Basketball Camp. Richmond, along with Sandhills Community College coach Aaron Denton helped Jeff Yow run the twoday camp, which featured roughly 60 boys and girls from the area. “We went over the basic fundamentals of basketball,” said Richmond. “We worked on ball handling and shooting drills. Anytime I have an opportunity to give back to the community, I want to do it. I want to help out as much as I can.” Body of Christ’s next game will be at 6 p.m. Thursday, July 22, against Team Navy, a team that has Oklahoma City Thunder star Kevin Durant and Duke’s Andre Dawkins on its roster.

DEAR ABBY
BRIDGE HAND
Woman playing boss at work wants peaceful role at home DEAR ABBY: This summer, my boyfriend and I will be working together. I will be his boss. I want to maintain a professional environment while still keeping peace in the relationship. My boyfriend can be sensitive sometimes, so do you have any tips to help me separate my work life from my love life? — STAGE MANAGER IN THE SOUTH
HOROSCOPES Universal Press Syndicate
Happy Birthday: Emotional matters will keep you occupied this year. Try not to neglect the financial and professional areas of your life. Productivity will be the key to your success and can take your mind off stressful personal issues. You may have extra burdens, so be quick to enlist the help of friends and relatives so you can avoid a loss. Your numbers are 10, 14, 22, 27, 34, 39, 40 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Concentrate on what needs to be accomplished or you will end up dealing with a pushy individual trying to take up your time and space. Get out and do something with a friend who doesn’t judge you. Find a place where you can relax. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Ignore comments made by someone trying to upset you. Focus on what you can do and the people you want to spend time with. Rise above any conflict you face. You can eliminate the stress in your life through positive action. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You can expect to endure problems with loved ones and friends. Avoid arguments by using your quick wit and imaginative ideas. Take a position of leadership, even if you are uncertain. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Ignore what is going on around you that is distracting and is making you question your next move. You can make some worthwhile changes at home that will make your life better. Love is on the rise. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Spell out your plans for the future and you will receive some interesting feedback. Don’t expect everyone to like what you propose. Take action if you want to meet with success, additional income and an interesting new prospect. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Anything to do with
WORD JUMBLE
money will become emotional. If you have a debt to pay or one owed to you, it may be difficult to deal with those involved. Make sure you have an alternate plan. Honesty will be your best bet. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You’ll be emotional and have personal and professional issues to deal with. Avoid any aggressive action. The uncertainty you have regarding your future can be put to rest if you look for other ways to make money on the side. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Lay your plans out for all to see. Once you have revealed what it is you are trying to accomplish, you will get interest from someone with a similar vision. A partnership will help you establish yourself with a group of people you haven’t been able to infiltrate in the past. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Appreciate what others do for you if you want to avoid backlash. Expect to face delays or problems while traveling, especially if you aren’t abiding by the rules. Fix up your place or find a new place to live. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): Just because you have worked alongside someone in the past or shared common ground doesn’t mean you will now. If something doesn’t seem right, ask questions. There is a fabulous opportunity you mustn’t turn down. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Focus on what needs to be done, not what has already taken place. Use your imagination for a plan that will help you with selfimprovement and health issues. Money is in the stars but don’t squander what should be saved or used responsibly. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Love is in the stars. Be bold and let your feelings and intentions be known in order to overcome inhibitions. Honesty will be the key to exceptional personal and professional relationships.
DEAR STAGE MANAGER: Yup. Before you start working with your boyfriend, establish ground rules in advance. He needs to understand that he won’t be treated any differently than the rest of the cast and crew members because of your personal relationship, and to protect your job there must be no suggestion of favoritism. For you to allow that to happen, or for him to expect special treatment, would be unprofessional and could negatively affect the production. o DEAR ABBY: I was my best friend “Chanel’s” maid of honor. I received her beautiful engraved invitation in the mail, but never sent back my RSVP, assuming that because I was maid of honor, had purchased my plane ticket, reserved a hotel room (which the bride and I were sharing the night before the wedding) and had already bought my dress, it was “un-

derstood” that I was coming. The bride and I had already discussed my special meal for the reception because I am a vegetarian. During the reception, Chanel’s mother informed me that “in the future I needed to RSVP when invited to a function.” Abby, as a member of the wedding party I honestly didn’t think I needed to. Are the members of the wedding party expected to RSVP? As an aside, Chanel’s mother was never fond of my mother and has told Chanel she thinks I’m “flaky.” Was I in the wrong, or did her mother use this as a way to express her dislike of me? I have never considered her someone who was a stickler regarding etiquette. — PERPLEXED IN PLANO, TEXAS DEAR PERPLEXED: Technically, when one receives an RSVP card with an invitation, the recipient
should immediately return it with an acceptance or regrets. However, in your case, common sense should have allowed the bride’s mother to conclude that you would be there — for all of the reasons you mentioned — unless Chanel and her mother weren’t communicating. It appears your assessment of the woman is on target. For her to have been so insensitive to have taken it upon herself to “correct” you at the reception was in extremely poor taste. o DEAR ABBY: What should I call my late daughter’s husband? My daughter had been married to “John” for 10 years at the time of her death. They had two young children. John has since remarried and his wife has adopted the children. We have a close relationship, but I am unsure how to introduce both of them. (They are also aunt and uncle to my other grandchildren.) — JUDITH IN SAN JOSE DEAR JUDITH: The family history does not have to be explained at the time you introduce them. I see no reason why you should feel compelled to explain that your daughter died and John remarried, etc. Why not just say, “This is John and Mary, and our grandkids, Laurie and Jimmy”?
ODDS AND ENDS No more debating in your underwear in Colo. town BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — The days when a citizen could address the Boulder City Council wearing only underwear may be over. The council will vote on new decorum rules in September, seven months after a resident stepped up to a microphone in his boxers. The rules were already under review, but that incident led to a proposed ban on undressing during meetings. It’s not the first time the university town has wrestled with how much clothing is enough. In April, the city barred teens and adults from showing their genitals in public. That could put the wraps on two annual traditions that involve running or cycling naked. But the council declined to outlaw topless females, despite complaints about a woman who gardens in a thong and gloves.
Burglars turn Wash. state store into drive-through ABERDEEN, Wash. (AP) — Grays Harbor County sheriff’s deputies in Washington state are looking for the burglars who drove a pickup truck into a local store and stole an ATM machine. Undersheriff Rick Scott says surveillance video shows the wall of the Amanda Park Mercantile exploding Thursday morning as the truck drives through. KCRO reports two masked suspects load the ATM and a number of other items and drive off.

Wedding Gift: Groom gives bride-to-be $250K ticket ST. LOUIS (AP) — One Missouri groom gave his bride-to-be a perfect token of his love: a $250,000-winning lottery ticket. Robert Russell surprised his betrothed, 30-year-old Tracie Rogers, with the early wedding gift. The scratch card surprised them both with its bounty. The Missouri Lottery says Rogers and Russell plan to use their winnings to pay off a house. Thirty-three-year-old Rogers says that will be one less burden for them to contend with as they begin married life.
Police: Pa. teacher faked inoperable brain tumor MIDDLETOWN, Pa. (AP) — Police in central Pennsylvania say a middle school teacher lied for years about having an inoperable brain tumor. Fifty-one-year-old Leslie Herneisey (her-NY-zee) of Middletown is accused of faking documents to take sick leave. She faces 12 counts of forgery. Police say Herneisey missed work at Middletown Middle School over the years for treatment of a purported tumor. But her lack of symptoms made district officials suspicious. Lower Swatara Township police say Herneisey forged papers saying she needed weeks of chemotherapy and would be unable to teach.

God will create a new heaven Q: How is the world going to come to an end? Do you think we’ll be destroyed by a meteor from outer space, like some people think, or do you think we’ll destroy ourselves -- perhaps with a nuclear war or some other man-made disaster? What does the Bible say about this? -- K.R.H. A: The Bible clearly tells us that some day the world as we now know it will come to an end. This present universe won’t last forever; some day “The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare” (2 Peter 3:10). How will this happen? The Bible doesn’t tell us in detail (although it indicates that the whole universe will be destroyed, not just the earth -- suggesting something far greater than a meteor or a man-made catastrophe). But this will only happen because God makes it happen! God is in control of this world (and the whole creation) -- and it won’t happen one second before God causes it to happen. But this isn’t the end of the story! God will make a new world -- a perfect world that is completely free from sin and sickness and death. The Bible says, “In keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, the home of righteousness” (2 Peter 3:13). We can barely imagine this -- but it’s true, and some day we will share in it if we know Christ. Never forget: The future is in God’s hands. Is your life in His hands also? Don’t face the future with doubt or despair, but put your life into Christ’s hands.
