Big names in N.C. politics on hand to promote ‘innovative’ plan

Schools will compete annually for $50,000 based on points formula created by Education Foundation By ALEXA MILAN amilan@sanfordherald.com

SANFORD — The Lee County Education Foundation’s new incentive-based initiative to improve school achievement is the first project of its kind in North Carolina, and if successful, it could expand nationwide. Notable county, state and national leaders gathered at Deep River Elementary School on Thursday to announce the Head of Class Project, a publicprivate partnership that will award $50,000 annually to the faculty and staff of the best

performing elementary school in Lee County. “The eyes of North Carolina are going to be on Lee County as this moves forward,” former Gov. Jim Holshouser said. “I think it’s so innovative and so imaginative. They’re going to see it in Raleigh, and I think they’re going to see it beyond the state boundaries, too.” Several prominent figures in North Carolina education attended Thursday’s event, including Gov. Bev Perdue, State Superintendent of Public In-

Customs Enforcement officials Aug. 19 in Chatham County. Villanueva’s attorney Jorgelina Araneda said officials are attempting to deport him and revoke his green card based on a charge of commercial burglary that he pleaded guilty to in California in 1995. Villanueva is a native of Mexico but he has lived in the United States since his childhood, Araneda said. In recent years, he has been the minister at Iglesia Bautista La Roca in Siler City, a Baptist Latino church with a congregation of about 30, said

his wife Martha Villanueva. Martha Villanueva said the charge stems from an attempt to pass a bad check, but he has maintained a clean criminal record in the years since his conviction. State records show that Hector Villanueva has never been convicted of a crime in North Carolina. “He’s definitely a different person,” Martha Villanueva said. “When I married him, he had already given his life over to Christ and he was a Christian.

Man jailed for sex offense against 5-year-old girl

Davey the dolphin is back at school

SANFORD — A Sanford man is in jail after he was charged with sex offenses against a 5-year-old girl, the Lee County Sheriff’s Office said. Deputies on Thursday arrested 65-year-old Aaron Monroe Moore, of 116 Orchard Road in Sanford, following a joint investigation from the Sheriff’s Office and the Lee County Department of Social Services. The investigation began in June after the victim’s mother reported it to officials, said Capt. Jeff Johnson of the Sheriff’s Office. Moore knew the girl through a family friend, deputies said. He is charged with firstdegree kidnapping, first-degree sex offense of a child, taking indecent liberties with a child and crimes against nature. Investigators say the crime took place between June 22 and July 4 at Moore’s Orchard Road residence. Moore is being held in Lee County Jail under a $100,000 secured bond. Records show that Moore has no history of criminal or sex offenses in North Carolina. — by Billy Ball

Pastor Continued from Page 1A

I have never known him to be a criminal or even to harm anybody or anything for that matter. He has been a man who loves people.� Araneda said the minister, a legal resident, served a multiyear sentence for the conviction in California and was released, later moving to North Carolina to launch a Latino church. “The only time in his life when he had criminal problems was when he was young,� she said. Araneda said the problems arose when Hector Villanueva applied for citizenship and was denied last October. According to Araneda, the denial letter attributed the decision to his criminal record. She said the crime was not a deportable offense at the time of his conviction, but U.S. lawmakers have changed immigration laws since then. “Pre-9/11, if he had lived a good, clean life, they would have turned down the citizenship and moved on, but today they don’t leave it at that,� Araneda said. “They will then try to take the green card.� The pastor is being held now in a detention facility in northern Georgia, Araneda said. Martha Villanueva said the church held a service this weekend without her husband,

CARY (MCT) — Davey the dolphin, the bronze statue stolen from a concrete pedestal at Davis Drive Elementary School last week, was returned there late Wednesday morning. The 30-inch figure was found at the bottom of a swimming pool in the nearby Sherwood Green neighborhood last week and returned after its photo appeared in The News & Observer on Wednesday. “He didn’t make it to the beach,� said Chip Mack, the school’s principal. A pool maintenance employee discovered Davey shortly after the statue was stolen. But the worker didn’t know where the figure had come from or to whom it belonged. So the 55-pound statue was stored in the pool’s chemical storage room, said Ed Miller, 54, who works for Covenant Pool Care, the company that maintains the Sherwood Green pool. After reading about the missing mascot in The N&O on Wednesday, Miller took Davey to the school. “People were like, ‘Oh my God, Davey’s back!’� Miller said, describing the scene as he entered the front office. “It was pretty cool.� — Raleigh News & Observer

although his congregation wants him back. “People are upset, concerned, and really want him home,� she said. U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement spokewoman Barbara Gonzalez confirmed the arrest Thursday and that he was being held in Georgia, but could not release any additional details of the case due to privacy regulations. Gonzalez said immigration laws allow for the deportation of individuals convicted of certain “aggravated felonies.� Araneda said the crime of commercial burglary is one of those charges. “It’s not something that’s unheard of,� Gonzalez said.

A TRUE TAR HEEL Officials say former Davidson president has perfect credentials for UNC system By GARY D. ROBERTSON Associated Press Writer

RALEIGH — The University of North Carolina’s hiring Thursday of Davidson College President Tom Ross as the system’s next leader brings in a public servant with a perfect set of credentials to lead during tough fiscal times, enrollment growth and technological advances, school officials said. Even better, they said, Ross is a lifetime resident of North Carolina. “He doesn’t need a lot of advice. Tom knows the state. He knows our people. He knows our needs,� outgoing UNC system President Erskine Bowles said after the Board of Governors unanimously chose Ross to succeed him starting Jan. 1. “He will make an enormously positively influence.� Ross, the Davidson president since 2007, was the lone recommendation from the board’s search committee, which initially presented its findings to the full board in a closed meeting before the public vote. The nationwide search attracted around 60 applicants, and nine were interviewed, board chairwoman Hannah Gage said. But Ross rose to the top, she said. “There was no one single quality of characteristic that outshone the others,� Gage said. “It was the entire authentic package that resonated deeply and drew us to our conclusion.� Ross’ resume marks him with a long career in state government and nonprofits that ultimately took him Davidson, his alma mater, three years ago.

Tom Ross speaks during a University of North Carolina Board of Governors meeting in Chapel Hill Thursday. The board elected Ross as the new president of the 17-campus public university system during the meeting. tigious liberal arts school north of Charlotte that he and his two children also attended. “It is the place that nurtured me and helped me grow as a student and again as its president. It has been an emotional struggle for me to come to my decision,� Ross said in accepting the job as the fifth system president since a unified governing board for all public universities was created in 1971. “But I do so feeling called to this position and to this university.� Ross, a Greensboro native, has experience in the UNC system. He went to the law school in Chapel Hill and has been on several UNC boards. Davidson, a school of 1,800 students, is dramatically different compared to the UNC system’s 17 schools and more than

225,000 students — with an additional 50,000 projected in the next seven years. Ross said many challenges with his new job are similar to those at Davidson. “You’re dealing with personnel problems, you’re dealing with budget problems, you’re dealing with technology issues,� Ross said. “I suspect that in some ways, there won’t be a huge difference. It is just a larger, more complex organization.� Ross said he’s still putting together his goals for the UNC system during his tenure and will listen to faculty and staff while forming those initiatives. But he said he’s committed to keeping tuition affordable while making sure those fees are used wisely to benefit students and the state. New ways

Golfers big to admit to costly mistakes

G

olf has always been known as a gentleman’s game. Its rules, archaic but steeped in tradition, demand honesty and integrity. Players are known not just for calling penalties on themselves, but expected to do so. In one of the most famous instances of the self-governance of the game, the great Bobby Jones — considered by many the finest player ever — was playing in the final round of the 1925 U. S. Open and addressing his ball, preparing to swing. Before taking the club back, his ball (mired in deep rough) moved almost imperceptibly. Jones, who alone saw the movement, called a

penalty on himself – the rules declaring a two-stroke infraction if your ball moves during address. He lost the tournament by a single shot. Celebrated later by observers for his truthfulness, he responded, “You may as well praise a man for not robbing a bank.” Recent events on the PGA Tour (events considered robbery by some observers) show even when the rules don’t make sense, golf is still a game of integrity. At the PGA Championship two weeks ago, Dustin Johnson was penalized two shots after placing the sole of his club in a sand

trap on the final hole, despite the fact that the “trap” was not clearly marked. Spectators had trampled through the bunker all week, making it difficult to distinguish as a hazard. The penalty cost him a spot in a sudden-death playoff, robbing him of a chance to win one of golf’s major championships. Johnson graciously accepted responsibility, saying it was his fault he didn’t carefully read the memos posted throughout the players’ locker area explaining that any patch of sand found anywhere on the course was to be considered a hazard. And this week, an even more bizarre – and unfortu-

nate – violation of the rules robbed Jim Furyk, a popular tour player and former major championship winner. Furyk, in New Jersey for The Barclays, the first in the season-ending four-event FedEx Cup “playoffs,” was one of 54 players (among a field of 122) selected to play in a pro-am event Wednesday. Though not an official part of the event (which teed of Thursday), tour rules stipulate that if you’re part of the pro-am field, you must play. But Furyk overslept after the battery on his smart phone died. He missed his 7:30 tee time by just a few minutes. The penalty? Disqualification – not

from the pro-am, but from the full-field event and a day before it officially began. Tour pro Phil Mickelson spoke for many when he said, “(This rule) applies to only half the field and yet it affects the integrity of the competition. I cannot disagree with it more... it’s ridiculous.” But Furyk, a pro in many respects, knew the mistake was his. “The rules,” he said, “are rules.” Furyk’s disqualification means he won’t win a dime in this week’s event, but like Johnson and others who have taken full responsibility for mistakes they made, his stock is soaring sky high.

Employee reviews

R

ALEIGH — I’m shocked, I tell you shocked, that a recent audit examining the performance reviews of state employees found that results are inflated. What’s next? Could it be a finding that cronyism and nepotism exist in state hiring? How about a determination that donors give money to political campaigns to improve their access to politicians? OK, so maybe the findings of State Auditor Beth Wood aren’t all that startling. Wood’s office, citing earlier state Office of Personnel findings, said that less than 1 percent of state workers were rated as working below expectations on performance reviews. Eightyone percent of workers were rated as very good or outstanding. The larger problem isn’t the results, according to the audit. Rather, it’s that supervisors in state government waste time compiling these things only to have them end up in a file folder largely unread. The audit, which focused on three state agencies, also found that the criteria used to judge employees was weak and that when employees failed to meet expectations no plan to try to improve work performance was established. Wood noted another disconnect between the employee reviews and any larger purpose: The state doesn’t tie pay to performance, instead giving across-the-board raises. Wood said the across-the-board raises may not be compatible with a performance review system intended to promote excellent performance. Maybe so. But suggestions that the state should have some form of merit raises are usually greeted with skepticism by key legislators. ... The bigger fear is that office politics and the aforementioned cronyism would play into any merit pay system. Tying pay to objective measures used to judge job performance can lead to a system like that which currently exists, with the measures set so low that most everyone reaches them. If you work in the private sector, by now you may be thinking that none of these findings sound all that unique to the public sector. Many people who collect a pay check and work for a decent-sized company go through a perfunctory and mostly useless employee evaluation each year. At most companies, if you show up to work and get your work done, you’ll typically receive a good evaluation. In good economic times, that means you’ll get a 2- to 3-percent raise. In bad times, you hope it means you won’t get laid off. And most people understand that the employee performance reviews are really about creating a paper trail when management decides to fire someone. Of course, what the private sector does with its money usually isn’t the concern of the broader, taxpaying public. Wasteful, inefficient practices in state government are the taxpayers’ concern. It’s also Wood’s job to bring that waste to the public’s attention.

We are so fortunate to witness the sudden concern for the Bill of Rights by our very own Progressive comrades as it pertains to the Ground Zero Mosque. Why all of a sudden this current outpouring for religious freedom? Well simply put, all one has to do is understand that any criticism of the Ground Zero Mosque or the shady history of it’s outspoken imam smacks of “Islamophobia” and no progressive in their left mind would allow that be said about them! Why even the AP style book instructs the members of our national information bureaus (once known as the main stream media) to refrain from using “Ground Zero Mosque,” as this is in keeping with the political correctness dictums of our time. We wouldn’t want to offend anyone of Islamic faith, so I wish to refer to it as the 19 Martyrs Memorial Mosque. In addition, the U.S. taxpayers are funding Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf’s whirlwind tour through the Mid East to promote tolerance and raise money for the 19 Martyrs Memorial Mosque, with the full blessings of our very own State Department. By funding Imam Rauf’s trip, on the surface many would see this as violating the ever present Constitutional “separation of church and state.” The American Civil Liberties Union nor the Americans United for the Separation of Church and State have yet to utter any disagreement with the use of taxpayer’s money to apparently promote a mosque. Mosques are clearly not churches. They are also used as “community centers” and if anyone should know this difference, it should be our greatest community organizer to ever rise to the pinnacle of power within this very country. Mosques allow the Muslim community to gather in order to promote religious tolerance, indoctrination, as well the planning and conducting political fund raising events for “useful idiots.” Also mosques around the world act as military planning centers for the most blessed jihadis as well as stores for their weapons and ammunition. Our western treaties recognize places of worship as offlimits to military attack, so that our Muslim brethren plotting our death can continue unmolested. Imam Rauf’s criticism of the United States and Israel as the source of all evil in the Muslim world is reminiscent of our President’s spiritual leader for twenty years, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. This clearly is a First Amendment Free Speech Right offered under the Constitution and only “tea-baggers” are prohibited from using it as they attempt to spew their intolerance, bigotry and hate speech.

Formula

THE FORMULA The Head of Class Project is the Lee County Education Foundation’s new incentive-based initiative that will reward faculty and staff of the year’s highest performing elementary school with $50,000. To determine the highest performing school, the foundation has developed a formula based on the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction’s achievement measures.

The winning elementary school will be determined by a formula based on established Department of Public Instruction measures such as Adequate Yearly Progress and ABC scores (see sidebar). The formula also addresses the percentage of students at each school that qualify for free/reduced lunch, which Bradley said he hopes will improve the level of equality among the schools. “We wanted something that was objective and leveled the playing field,” Bradley said. The first winning school will receive its award at the beginning of the 2011-2012 school year. Every member of the staff from the princi-

Jim Hunt and Chairman of the State Board of Education Bill Harrison speak at Thursday’s announcement of the Head of Class Project, a partnership between the Lee County Education Foundation and LCS. pal to the custodians will receive a portion of the $50,000 award. Bradley said the foundation believes that every staff member on a school’s campus contributes in some way to developing a positive learning environment. “The idea of including everyone in this is going to create a sense of teamwork that we don’t see a lot of places,” Holshouser said. In his presentation to the Board of Education, Bradley said the intent of the Head of Class Program is to enhance student performance by reinforcing that hard work

is necessary to achieve academic goals. The idea is that the incentive model will provide schools with extra motivation that will result in higher test scores. “Even though there is only one winner, everyone’s test scores should go up,” Bradley said. The foundation will fund the project through a $1 million endowment supported by individual donors and corporations. The fundraising effort first began with Lee County Education Foundation Founding Chairman Dennis Wicker, who Bradley said has been integral to the project’s development. Wicker did not attend Thursday’s event in order to spend more time with his son, who is about to

be deployed to Pakistan. The foundation has led capital campaigns since its inception, but Wicker and Bradley first started discussing the best way to apply the money to improving academic performance two and a half years ago. They formed a funding priorities committee and examined statewide data before deciding that an incentive-based program that rewards all staff members might provide a kind of motivational boost that hadn’t been attempted previously. “It has the right mix of teamwork and competition,” Atkinson said. “It has the right mix of business people, community people and educators working together.” The collaborative

Perdue was one of several luminaries on hand Thursday for the announcement. The governor was a member of a distinguished panel that included former North Carolina governors Jim Hunt and Jim Holshouser Jr., former U.S. Secretary of Education Richard Riley, State Board of Education Chairman William Harrison and State Superintendent of Public Instruction June Atkinson. “It is a special day in Lee County when we can attract this caliber of leadership,” Kirk Bailey, Lee County Education Foundation Chairman, told those gathered Thursday at Deep River Elementary School. Gov. Perdue said the Lee County announcement comes on the heels of other good news for education in the state.

Schools with more than 60 percent free/reduced lunch get 25 points. ❏ School of Excellence: 25 points for achieving School of Excellence status. Schools with more than 60 percent free/reduced lunch get 35 points. When applied to the data for 2009-2010, the formula reveals that J. Glenn Edwards Elementary would have been the winner had the Head of Class Program been in place last year. The school would receive 100 points for making AYP, 77.7 points for its ABC composite score, 76.9 points for free/reduced lunch, 3.5 points for its percent increase in ABC composite score and 10 points for making expected growth, for a total of 268.1 points.

fundraising effort won’t stop now that the project has been launched. Bradley said the foundation hopes to raise enough money to initiate the program in middle schools and high schools as well. In addition to ultimately expanding the model locally, Atkinson has asked Moss to present the Head of Class Project to other

North Carolina superintendents at a September meeting. “It’s a pleasure to see the private sector and the public sector working together,” Lee County Board of Education member Bill Tatum said. “It’s a significant shift in the way the system recognizes faculty and staff.”

North Carolina is poised to receive approximately $400 million in Federal Race to the Top grant money. Every child is entitled to a world-class education, she said, “and that’s how North Carolina and our nation will remain globally competitive.” “It’s about those children having a shot at what I call the great promise of America,” she continued, “and that’s an education.” Riley, who is also a former governor of South Carolina, described the project as “an innovative idea that has legs.” He also praised the Education Foundation for factoring in the percentage of students who receive free and reduced lunch when evaluating the schools. “You all have developed a formula and a plan that is usable,” Riley said, “and I think it will be modeled throughout the state and throughout the country.” While North Carolina is still contending with an above-average dropout rate, Hunt said the state is “making progress.” The former governor also stressed the importance of “new ideas” like the Head of Class program in moving the state’s education system forward. “I want to say good for Lee County, good for the education foundation...,” Hunt said. “This is a day for you to be proud.” According to Hunt, the state will be reaping the rewards of this local initiative for many years to come. The former governor urged Lee County to “keep it up, and keep being an example.” “Sec. Riley and Gov. Perdue are going to be telling this story all over America,” Hunt said. Like Riley, former Gov. Holshouser expected the program to have implications at not only the state, but also the national level. “I’m going to tell you, the eyes of North Caro-

lina are going to be on Lee County as this moves forward,” Holshouser said. Atkinson praised the program for fostering “the right mix of teamwork and competition.” “Your model is easily explainable,” Atkinson said. “It will give great ideas to people across the state and across the nation.” Prior to the official announcement, the panel was present when the Lee County School Board approved the project by unanimous vote. The presence of such distinguished guests, said Sanford Area Chamber of Commerce President Bob Joyce, reflects the significance of the initiative. “It is unique,” Joyce said, “and having all of these officials here puts the public relations spotlight on Sanford and this particular effort.” Although he did not make any official remarks, state Rep. Jimmy Love Sr. was in attendance and acknowledged by the panel members. Every local citizen should be proud of the new program, he said, and he expects it to be emulated throughout the state and beyond. “The model is excellent in that it brings everybody together,” Love said of Head of Class, “and it allows the entire school, from janitor to principal, to reap the benefit of what they do.” Jeff Moss, superintendent of Lee County Schools, said the project will directly impact classrooms and have a positive effect on student learning. “I think the importance of recognizing the value of teachers through our incentive program is apparent by the distinguished panel we have here today,” Moss said. “I think the attendance of this meeting truly shows that we value the connection between economic development and education.”

STATE BRIEFS Town launches ‘attack’ on hemlock pests

Police say the shooting of 2 clerks related

CARY (AP) — One North Carolina city is planning what officials call an attack on some aggressive invaders. The town of Cary is fighting back against a tree-killing pest called the Hemlock Woolly Adelgid, which was first spotted in North Carolina in 1995. The tiny insect sucks sap from trees, preventing new growth. An infested hemlock tree can die within a few years. Cary leaders plan to close Stevens Nature Center and the Hemlock Bluffs Nature Preserve from Aug. 30 to Sept. 3. Hemlock trees in both parks will be coated with a product designed to keep them healthy. The insects were spotted earlier this summer at the nature preserve. So far, they’ve been found on 11 of the preserve’s 235 hemlock trees.

ZEBULON (AP) — Police say the shootings of two clerks within 20 minutes at two North Carolina convenience stores are related. WRAL-TV in Raleigh reported Thursday that two armed men entered two Shop ‘N Go stores late Wednesday, demanded money and then shot the clerks. The first victim was an 18-year-old clerk at a store in Stancil’s Chapel whose name was not released. The men entered a second store near Zebulon minutes later and shot 62-year-old Wesley Davis. Both victims were taken to a Raleigh hospital. Their conditions were not available early Thursday. Johnston County Sheriff Steve Bizzell told the TV station the shootings are related, but did not offer any details. Police have a description of the shooters are searching for the suspects.

Police identify body in pond

Researcher’s stem cell experiments in jeopardy

FAYETTEVILLE (AP) — Police in North Carolina have identified a dead body found floating in a Fayetteville pond. The badly decomposed body of Mosi Abdul Shakur was found in Mintz Pond on Monday. Fayetteville Police said Thursday the 38-year-old man was homeless and that his identity was confirmed through fingerprint records. Police say no cause of death has been determined and that it may take weeks before they know how Shakur died. Mintz Pond feeds a Fayetteville Public Works Commission water plant. A commission worker was taking water samples when she saw the body.

CHAPEL HILL (AP) — North Carolina stem cell researchers may have to walk away from projects after a federal judge blocked Obama administration regulations expanding the studies. A University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill graduate student may have to abandon a thesis and another UNC researcher could be among the first in the country to lose federal stem cell research funding. President Obama last year expanded the availability of stem cells from human embryos for federally funded research. But a federal judge in Washington on Monday temporarily blocked stem cell research from receiving federal funds.

An audit report released Thursday said that a systems analyst at the agency had dozens of DVDs stacked around his desk. The worker estimated that he had “more than one and less than a thousand� movies stories on his state-owned computer. The analyst was fired. Auditors say an applications manager’s state-owned computer also had software to illegally duplicate copyrighted material along with 20 movie copies and 14 television shows. He denied knowledge of the pirating. He was suspended without pay for two weeks last year.

Woman dies after husband hits her with car

WILMINGTON (AP) — A 92-year-old North Carolina woman has died after her husband backed over her with his car. The Star News of Wilmington reported Thursday that 89-year-old Robert Calhoun of Wilmington was trying to park his car in the garage when he ran over his wife, Josephine Howey Calhoun. Police say Robert Calhoun was unhappy with the way he parked after pulling his car into the garage. His wife got out and was behind the car when he backed out. Highway Patrol Trooper C.J. Lewis said Robert Calhoun thought he’d hit a cat or a dog. When rescuers arrived, Josephine Calhoun was still trapped underneath the car. She died at the scene.

Man converting light tower to bed and breakfast CHARLOTTE — A man plans to turn an abandoned light tower off the North Carolina coast into a highseas bed-and-breakfast. The Charlotte Observer reported Thursday that 50year-old Richard Neal of Mint Hill bought the Frying Pan Shoals Light Tower in a federal government auction in May for $85,000. The deal was completed Wednesday.

State sees few takers to online sales tax amnesty bid By EMERY P. DALESIO AP Business Writer

RALEIGH — Just over two dozen of the 450 online retailers offered amnesty if they begin collecting North Carolina taxes on Internet sales have taken the offer. In one of the country’s most aggressive efforts to collect sale taxes many retailers don’t believe they owe, the state’s revenue agents already have started auditing the hundreds of companies that didn’t go along. “There are already some Internet retailers who didn’t elect to participate in the program who are under examination,� Revenue Department spokeswoman Beth Stevenson said. “We’re going to prioritize our resources to conduct audits. If a company will not participate in the audit, we will issue summonses for the records needed to do the audit.� That’s the normal process for determining a company’s tax liability, and unresolved disputes are sometimes settled only in court, she said. Courts or Congress may be where a growing dispute over whether states can collect taxes from Internet sales is settled. As states with recession-battered budgets look for ways to increase tax revenues, four have adopted routes around a 1992 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that states can’t force businesses to collect sales taxes if they lack a physical presence within that state. States also charge their residents a “use tax� for outof-state purchases, but few consumers pay it. North Carolina, New York and Rhode Island passed laws that make an online retailer responsible for sales tax collections if residents of their states run Web sites that include advertising links driving business to the retailer. These local affiliates collect a percentage of resulting sales.

Colorado’s new online sales tax law requires out-of-state, online retailers to either collect sales tax or send customers an annual notice of how much tax they owe the state. Retailers would also have to report that to the state. Another 13 states including Illinois and Tennessee have considered but not approved similar laws in the past two years, the Washington, D.C.-based Tax Foundation said. Hawaii and California lawmakers passed Internet tax collection laws that were vetoed by their governors. Federal legislation introduced in July would allow the 23 states working to streamline sales and use taxes to require that online retailers collect state sales taxes. Supporters say besides increasing state revenues, forcing online retailers to collect sales taxes would even the competition between Internet-only stores and brick-and-mortar shopkeepers. “By not enforcing sales tax laws, state governments have provided these online retailers with a significant competitive advantage and are subsidizing these retailers’ business,� said Oren Teicher, CEO of the American Booksellers Association, the trade organization for independent stores.

But most retailers are likely to believe they’re not responsible for collecting taxes due because of what amounts to online advertising on someone else’s Web site, said Joseph Henchman, the Tax Foundation’s director of state projects. “The danger of this is a state being able to impose its tax law on any company that advertises in the state,� Henchman said. How much money is at stake isn’t clear. University of Tennessee researchers said last year that uncollected state and local taxes from online sales could total $8.6 billion this year. But the bulk of e-commerce sales are transactions between businesses rather than consumer purchases. And online consumer shopping represents about 4 percent of all retail sales in the United States, the Census Bureau reported. Still, New York netted more than $120 million in taxes collected by 30 online retailers since that state’s law took effect in 2008, taxation department spokesman Brad Maione said. Amazon.com Inc. is appealing New York’s law after a trial court judge last year sided with the state. Maione said because of the litigation he could not discuss whether the agency acted against retailers that

did not start collecting sales taxes. About 200 were sent letters informing them of the new law, he said. Amazon also is resisting North Carolina tax collectors. In a federal lawsuit filed in Seattle, where it is headquartered, Amazon said North Carolina demanded the names and addresses of buyers and a description of their purchase. Amazon said complying would harm customers who may have bought controversial books or movies, and could hurt future sales. “We collect and remit sales tax in states where we have a physical presence and where we have a legal requirement to do so,� Amazon spokeswoman Mary Osako said. North Carolina warned in April when it offered the amnesty that it might pursue retailers for years of taxes the state claims are due if they didn’t sign up and begin collections on Wednesday. The state offered to forgive taxes, penalties or interest for periods before September, and not demand data about consumers who bought from the Internet retailer. But only 27 out of the hundreds of retailers North Carolina suspects may owe taxes have chosen to participate, the agency said.

Where is Ground Zero? Sacred site’s boundaries are evolving in mosque debate By AMY WESTFELDT Associated Press Writer

NEW YORK (AP) — The furor over how close is too close to ground zero for a planned Islamic center and mosque has raised a simple question nine years after Sept. 11: Where exactly is ground zero? The lines marking the site of the 2001 terror attacks change depending on which New Yorker, 9/11 family member and American you talk to. Even those who know it best can’t agree on its boundaries. Tourists who come to snap pictures outside of a busy construction site often aren’t sure that they’re there. Andrew Slawsky, 22, stood outside the proposed mosque and Islamic center two blocks north of the World Trade Center site. He said ground zero isn’t here. “To me, ground zero is any site that was destroyed or damaged on 9/11 — mostly the hole in the ground,� Slawsky said, referring to the ruins of the trade center towers. But Maureen Santora, whose firefighter son was killed at the trade center, says ground zero extends far beyond the fenced-off construction site where cranes, skyscrapers and a Sept. 11 memorial are rising. It goes through a wide swath of lower Manhattan, where debris was littered on rooftops and body parts were found years later, she says. “It will always be a place where my son was murdered. I don’t care what they call this place,� Santora said. “It will be a cemetery.� The evolving boundaries of ground zero

Ground Zero, in a photo taken on Sept. 17, 2001, continued to smolder almost a week after the Sept. 11 terrorist attack. Surrounding buildings were heavily damaged by the debris and massive force of the falling twin towers. have informed — or misinformed — the debate about its proximity to the planned Park51 community center. The farther away from the place, the bigger it seems. “It’s constructed as hallowed ground when people don’t actually have a clear boundary for it or a clear sense of what’s within the boundary,� said Kathleen Hall Jamieson, a University of Pennsylvania communications professor who studies political rhetoric. “What you have is a classic instance of people responding to a symbol whose meaning is physically divorced from the actual space.� Ground zero for decades had conjured up images of the atomic bomb blasts in 1945. After Sept. 11, it became a journalistic shorthand that evoked war and devastation, with an Associated Press report on the day of the attacks referring to the ruins of the towers as ground zero. It became synonymous with the World Trade Center site as the debris field left by the attacks — body parts and airplane debris on rooftops and office papers

that flew to Brooklyn and New Jersey — got smaller. Since the first months after the attacks, the 16-acre site has been fenced-off and mostly covered. It once housed the ruins of the two towers hit by hijacked jetliners, as well as four other buildings in the complex, including U.S. Customs headquarters and a Marriott hotel. Today, cranes rise high in the air along with an office tower over 30 stories high, a Sept. 11 memorial and a transit hub under construction. Even the public and private agencies closest to the site don’t have one definition of ground zero’s boundaries. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey — which owns the trade center site and is rebuilding most of it — says it is bounded by the fence, which has moved a few feet in both directions as construction has progressed. “The fence is certainly the way we think of it,� said Steve Sigmund, Port Authority’s chief spokesman. The city uses the same boundaries, a spokesman said. The Lower Manhattan Development Corp., a

rebuilding agency that decided what would be built on the site, also counts parts of a block south of the fenced-off area as part of ground zero. That includes a former bank tower being dismantled, where officials hope to build another skyscraper. Joe Daniels, president of the foundation in charge of the 9/11 memorial, said ground zero is the fenced-off area, the former bank tower south of the site and 7 World Trade Center — part of the trade center complex that collapsed on Sept. 11. 7 World Trade Center was rebuilt four years ago. It is diagonal from the building where the $100 million Islamic community center is planned. The Park51 project is two blocks north of the fence, in a neighborhood bustling with TriBeca restaurants and hotels and Battery Park City apartment buildings. The World Financial Center, a Burger King, discount clothing outlet, firehouse and Catholic church are among the businesses dotting the site’s borders.

Toyota recalls 1.33 million Corollas, Matrixes NEW YORK (AP) — Toyota recalled 1.33 million Corolla sedans and Matrix hatchbacks in the U.S. and Canada Thursday because their engines may stall, the latest in a string of quality problems at the Japanese automaker. The recall covers vehicles from the 2005-2008 model years sold in the U.S. and Canada. Three accidents and one minor injury have been reported, though Toyota said a link to the engine issue has not been confirmed. Toyota’s latest recall is one of its largest since it began recalling cars and trucks last October. The automaker has now recalled more than 10 million vehicles worldwide for problems that run from faulty gas pedals and floor mats that can trap accelerators, to problems with its Prius hybrid. Toyota said Corollas and Matrixes equipped with 1ZZ-FE engines may contain a defective engine control module, the computer that regulates the performance of the engine. In some cases, a crack may develop on the module’s circuit board, which could prevent the engine from starting or could cause harsh shifting or an engine stall. Separately, General Motors Co. is recalling 200,000 Pontiac Vibes in North America due to the same problem, GM spokesman Alan Adler said. The Vibe is similar to the Matrix and was built under a joint venture between Toyota and GM at a now-closed factory in Fremont, Calif.

Man who performed baptisms sues LDS church SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A Las Vegas man injured while performing submersion baptisms in the name of the dead has sued The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for medical expenses. The civil suit filed Wednesday in Salt Lake City’s 3rd District Court claims Daniel Dastrup suffered severe back injuries, including a herniated disk, after performing about 200 baptisms at the LDS temple in Raleigh on Aug. 25, 2007. The lawsuit contends the church was negligent in failing to warn Dastrup that the repetitive nature of the proxy baptisms — bending, lifting

and twisting — could result in physical injury. “The church owed the plaintiffs a duty to exercise reasonable care to avoid injury to the plaintffs from the services they performed to the church,� the lawsuit states. Dastrup, who now lives in Las Vegas, claims he has suffered “a significant permanent injury that substantially changes his lifestyle,� including damaging his relationship with his wife. The lawsuit seeks unspecified monetary damages to compenstate Dastrup to cover medical costs and loss of earnings.

Ex-judge: Possible criminal charges for N.Y. governor ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — A special investigation has concluded that Gov. David Paterson’s testimony about his plans to pay for World Series tickets last year was “inaccurate and misleading� and warrants consideration of criminal charges by a prosecutor. In a report Thursday, former state Chief Judge Judith Kaye noted four of five tickets to the World Series opening game between the New York Yankees and the Philadelphia Phillies were paid for shortly afterward, following a press inquiry from the New York Post newspaper. She said there’s a question whether Paterson gave “intentionally false testimony� to the state Commission on Public Integrity about having written an $850 check in advance for two tickets. Commission staff recommended last week that Paterson should be fined more than $90,000 in civil penalties for soliciting and accepting the tickets in violation of ethics law. However, Kaye said the perjury issue was “clouded� by the way Paterson’s testimony was given, with the entries read aloud to the legally blind governor. If Paterson had personally examined the check used to pay for two tickets, which was not in his handwriting, that “would have been obvious to the governor,� she said. Paterson’s private attorney, Theodore Wells Jr., said Paterson didn’t lie when he testified. He noted Kaye’s report does not recommend bringing charges or conclude Paterson intended to give false testimony.

Restaurants scramble after massive egg recall

From King to Beck: Big rally planned at Lincoln Memorial

By ASHLEY M. HEHER AP Retail Writer

CHICAGO (AP) — Eggs sunny-side-up are still on the menu. But restaurants nationwide are keeping a closer eye on egg suppliers and reminding diners of the dangers of undercooked food after a massive recall tied to a salmonella outbreak. “If someone asks for eggs over-easy, what do you do, put a skull and crossbones on their table?� said Louis Tricoli, who owns three Wisconsin restaurants with his family, including one where nearly two dozen people were sickened in late June after likely eating the now-recalled eggs. “Undercooked beef, undercooked pork, chicken, eggs, anything you ask to be undercooked, it’s at your own risk.� And so, instead of taking eggs off the menu, many restaurateurs are relying on long-standing menu warnings about the dangers of eating undercooked food. And waitstaffs are fielding questions from concerned guests worried that what they’re being served may not be safe. At Atlanta’s West Egg Cafe, business was brisk last weekend when customers chowed through nearly 2,900 eggs over the course of three days. Still, some diners made sure to ask whether the eggs were safe, said Chef Patric Bell. The restaurant’s eggs weren’t affected by the recall and he said so far no one was changing their breakfast orders. “If I couldn’t get eggs that were safe, I wouldn’t serve them at all,� he said.

Chef Felipe Escamilla prepares Huevos Rancheros at Restaurante Tenochtitlan, in Blue Island, Ill. The restaurant buys its eggs from local area producers and has not been affected by the recall of more than a half-billion eggs from two Iowa farms linked to as many as 1,300 cases of salmonella illnesses. Two Iowa farms, Wright County Egg and Hillandale Farms, recalled about 550 million eggs last week after learning that salmonella may have sickened as many as 1,300 people. But outside of such outbreaks, salmonella is always occasionally present in the roughly 80 billion eggs sold in their shell in the U.S. each year. The harmful bacteria typically contaminate one out of every 10,000 to 20,000 eggs. That risk is always there for people who like eggs that aren’t cooked until the yolks are solid, said Benjamin Chapman, an assistant professor specializing in food safety at North Carolina State University. “It’s difficult to

say if the risk is any different than it was two weeks ago or two years ago.� Restaurants can sometimes be breeding grounds for outbreaks if they crack many eggs into a single container when preparing them, which could allow one bad egg to contaminate a whole batch. The recall isn’t enough to scare off Charles Mettler, who ordered an eggs Benedict on Tuesday when he stopped by Drake Diner’s in Des Moines, Iowa. “I’m probably more worried about the Hollandaise sauce as far as cholesterol,� Mettler said. A spokesman for the National Restaurant Association said he hadn’t heard of any restaurants

dropping eggs from the menu entirely, or switching to pasteurized eggs, which are unshelled eggs heated to kill bacteria. They can also generally only be scrambled or used as an ingredient. But about a dozen major restaurant chains and many individual restaurants contacted by The Associated Press said they’re monitoring the outbreak that’s sickened about 1,300 people so far. The number of illnesses, which can be lifethreatening, especially to those with weakened immune systems, is expected to increase. Late last week, as news the recall linked to two Iowa farms erupted, executives at Waffle House sent reminders to each of their 1,600 locations reminding staff about the importance of thoroughly cooking eggs, though it’s still serving them to order. The company said 28 of its restaurants had to destroy egg shipments because of the recall. At Denny’s Corp., where 33 restaurants received recalled eggs, officials are careful to remind customers of their menu warning: “Eggs served over-easy, poached, sunny side-up and soft-boiled may be undercooked and will only be served at the customers’ request.� Restaurants need to store eggs below 45 degrees in order to slow growth of salmonella, Chapman said. They also should cook them past the 145-degree mark, when yolks are no longer runny.

citizens to attend and “help us restore the values that founded this great nation.� The rally, on the 47th anniversary of King’s plea for racial equality is drawing a strong reaction — and several counter-rallies — as the nation looks toward November’s elections. Beck is known for his strong opinions, including his statement that President Barack Obama is a racist. But organizers of Saturday’s rally are telling attendees not to bring signs, “as they may deter from the peaceful message we are bringing to Washington.� Signs at some tea party events have included pictures of Obama embellished with a Hitler-style mustache, racial epithets and threats to Democratic officials. Such posters have given tea party critics grounds to claim the loose organization of activists is motivated by racism against the nation’s first black president.

By PHILIP ELLIOTT Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) — Glenn Beck says it’s just a coincidence his Restoring Honor rally on Saturday at the Lincoln Memorial will take place on the anniversary and at the site of Martin Luther King Jr.’s famous “I Have a Dream� speech. Civil rights veterans are skeptical. “This is going to be a moment that you’ll never be able to paint people as haters, racists, none of it,� Beck says of the event featuring Sarah Palin and other conservative political and cultural figures. “This is a moment, quite honestly, that I think we reclaim the civil rights movement.� “When we heard about Glenn Beck, it was puzzling,� the Rev. Al Sharpton said. “Because if you read Dr. King’s speech, it just doesn’t gel with what Mr. Beck or Palin are representing.� Beck, a popular figure among tea party activists and a polarizing Fox News Channel personality, is headlining the event, and Palin, the 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee and a potential 2012 president candidate, will be a prominent speaker. But Beck told his television audience again on Thursday that it’s not about politics. The event’s website says the rally is to pay tribute to America’s military personnel and others “who embody our nation’s founding principles of integrity, truth and honor.� It also is to promote the Special Operations Warrior Foundation, which provides scholarships and services to family members of military members.

MOVIE REVIEW: TAKERS

E-BRIEFS

Copycat ‘Takers’ runs out of steam

M

att Dillon stars in the armored car heist flick “Takers,” not to be confused with “Armored,” Dillon’s other heist flick from last December. In both “Takers” and “The Losers,” Idris Elba and Zoe Saldana played members of a group of guns-for-hire. But when it comes to derivation, “Takers” is really a poor man’s “Heat,” both of them sprawling, L.A.-based crime thrillers in which robbers live a glamorous, dangerous life on the criminal edge while the cops on their trail cope with familial and financial troubles along the path to professional heroics. Indeed, the first half of “Takers” — including the opening bank heist — is nearly a point-by-point replica of Michael Mann’s crime drama. Later, strains of Lisa Gerrard’s score from Mann’s “The Insider” even accompany a slow-motion, goose down-flying gun battle inside a suite at the Roosevelt Hotel, a scene that manages to rip-off the Mexican standoff in Tony Scott’s “True Romance,” just for good measure. But, whereas “Heat” was directed by Mann and starred Al Pacino and Robert De Niro, “Takers” was directed by someone named John Luessenhop

Hayden Christensen battles in a shootout in a scene from the film, “Takers,” which begins in theaters today. and costars Paul Walker, Hayden Christensen, and the rapper T.I. Indeed, the most authentic moment in this fast, furious, and feckless spectacle is the sight of T.I.’s character being released from prison. That ex-con, Ghost, hooks up with his old gang (Elba, Walker, Christensen, Michael Ealy, and singer Chris Brown) to hatch an “Italian job” against an armored car convey. Ghost’s former squeeze, Rachel (Saldana), got engaged to partner-in-crime Jake (Ealy) while Ghost was in the clink. This fact alone, together with T.I. inability to project nuance or, I dunno, acting ability, forecasts where this clunker is rambling. Four credited screen-

writers needed to pen all those shootouts and slow-motion montages present an unreality born out of the “Grand Theft Auto” mold, where the police are useless cannon fodder for macho criminals who, with impunity, hijack TV news choppers, shred an entire floor of a historic hotel, C4 craters into downtown city streets to swallow up armored vans. Meanwhile, Dillon’s Jack Welles and his partner, Eddie (Jay Hernandez), go about flipping snitches and busting in doorways in a search for clues when they’re not dodging periphery, perfunctory IA investigations or Jack isn’t squander weekend visitation with his daughter by doing recon on suspects. It feels

like Jack literally twists the arm of a cracked-out, reluctant witness because it was simply time to squeeze in that trope. Even through its air of inevitability, “Takers” still remains relatively watchable until the throwntogether final act, which dissolves into a mélange of contrivance, overcooked machismo, and misplaced martyrdom. It, like the film as a whole, has more bullets than brains.

Mendes to direct Spacey in film “Richard III”

Underwood, Paisley to host CMA Awards Nov. 10

LONDON (AP) — Kevin Spacey and Sam Mendes are reuniting for a trans-Atlantic production of “Richard III,” producers announced Thursday. Spacey will play the villainous English king in a Spacey production of Shakespeare’s play directed by Mendes, which is set for an international tour in 2012. The play will form the third and final season of the Bridge Project, which brings together British and American actors on classic plays directed by Mendes. “Richard III” will open at New York’s Brooklyn Academy of Music in February 2012, then tour internationally before opening that May at London’s Old Vic Theatre, where Spacey is artistic director. The two men last worked together on the 1999 film “American Beauty,” which won five Academy Awards, including best actor for Spacey and best director for Mendes. Since then, Mendes — who separated earlier this year from wife Kate Winslet — has directed plays and movies, including “Revolutionary Road” and “Away We Go.” Spacey has combined film roles with running the Old Vic. “Sam is one of the finest directors I have had the pleasure to work with and to gain this opportunity is beyond my wildest hopes,” Spacey said.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Carrie Underwood’s wedding was one of the most special days of her life, but it will likely become fodder for jokes when she and Brad Paisley host the Country Music Association Awards for the third year in a row. The two will anchor the Nov. 10 ceremony in Nashville, and Paisley said of Underwood’s July union with NHL player Mike Fisher: “We have to bring it up.” “It was big news in country music, so if it is that, it is fair game, as well as Nashville or current events,” he said in an interview with Underwood on Thursday. “It’s worth talking about anything like Underwood that that people will relate to.” The two joked about Paisley’s wedding gift to Underwood, a bowl, Paisley which Paisley said his wife picked out. “Is it something you wanted or it’s in the pile of re-gift items?” asked Paisley. “You’re going to get it back three Christmases from now,” said Underwood. “I can’t wait to get that back,” said Paisley.

German court finds HIV singer guilty; no jail time

DARMSTADT, Germany (AP) — A German girl band singer broke down in tears Thursday as a court found her guilty of causing bodily harm to her ex-boyfriend by having unprotected sex with him despite knowing she was infected with HIV. She was not sentenced to jail time. Nadja Benaissa, a member of No Angels, was given a two-year suspended prison sentence and 300 hours community service after she was convicted in a Darmstadt administrative court. She faced a possible ten years behind bars. The court ruled that the 28year-old had infected a former boyfriend with the virus that causes AIDS by having unprotected sex with him. Benaissa helped her case during the trial, which began Aug. 16, by acknowledging she had unprotected sex despite knowing she was HIV-positive and saying it was a big mistake. “I’m sorry from the bottom of my heart,” Benaissa said, adding that she had realized how much her ex-boyfriend was still suffering.

Migrants turn to sea to enter U.S.

Afghan prez questions US timeline for leaving

By ELLIOT SPAGAT Associated Press Writer

SAN DIEGO (AP) — The speedboat is about three miles offshore when a U.S. Customs and Border Protection agent cuts the engine to drift on the current in quiet darkness, hoping for the telltale signs of immigrant smuggling — a motor’s whirr or sulfur exhaust fumes. “It’s like trying to find a needle in a haystack, and the haystack is the Pacific Ocean,� agent Tim Feige says, minutes before sunrise. This is a new frontier for illegal immigrants entering the United States — a roughly 400-squaremile ocean expanse that stretches from a bullring on the shores of Tijuana, Mexico, to suburban Los Angeles. In growing numbers, migrants are gambling their lives at sea as land

crossings become even more arduous and likely to end in arrest. Sea interdictions and arrests have spiked year-over-year for three years, as enforcement efforts ramp up to meet the challenge. While only a small fraction of border arrests are at sea, authorities say, heightened enforcement on land, and a bigger fence, is making the offshore route more attractive. The number of Border Patrol agents doubled to more than 20,000 since 2003, and President Barack Obama is dispatching the National Guard after clamor for a crackdown in the desert led to Arizona’s tough new immigration law. “I think they found that going west through the ocean is probably their best bet,� said Michael Carney, deputy special agent in charge of investigations for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in

San Diego. U.S. agents arrested 753 suspected illegal immigrants on Southern California shores and seas between October and Aug. 24, up from 400 the previous 12 months and 230 the year before. They spotted 85 watercraft since October, up from 49 during the previous 12 months and 33 the year before. The smugglers use old, single-engine wooden vessels known in Mexico as “pangas.� They’re several feet wide and about 25 feet long. If they are found on U.S. waters, they’re almost invariably smuggling people or drugs. U.S. authorities have stepped up sea patrols near the border, forcing pangas loaded with illegal immigrants and sometimes with marijuana farther offshore with landings farther north. An abandoned vessel was found in November in Laguna Beach, 85 miles

north of Mexico. A boat with 24 people was found 43 miles off the San Diego coast in May. Six boats have landed at Camp Pendleton Marine Corps base, more than 50 miles north of the border, since November, including two that were abandoned. The base, only a short hike to Interstate 5, has stepped up security. Authorities believe smugglers put their passengers ashore and return to Mexico, when possible, to avoid losing their boats and leaving evidence behind. But they also quickly abandon the boats and run for it if they sense they’re about to be caught. Smuggling on California waters dates back to the alcohol trade during Prohibition, but authorities noticed a change in late 2007 when pangas began traveling without lights at night with up to 25 people packed on open decks.

By ROBERT H. REID Associated Press Writer

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — President Hamid Karzai on Thursday criticized the U.S. plan to begin withdrawing troops starting next July and said the war on terror cannot succeed as long as the Taliban and their allies maintain sanctuaries in Pakistan. Karzai’s statements were made during a meeting with visiting U.S. congressmen and come at a time when the Obama administration is ratcheting up pressure on the Afghan leader to do more to stamp out corruption. The Afghan government maintains that the U.S. should be doing more on other fronts, including pressuring Pakistan to shut down the insurgent sanctuaries. A statement by Karzai’s office said the Afghan leader told the U.S. delegation that significant progress had been made in rebuilding the country after decades of war. But he said the campaign against the Taliban and al-Qaida had faltered because of ongoing civilian casualties during NATO military operations and a lack of focus on “destroying the terrorists’ refuge� across the border. Karzai also said President Barack Obama’s announcement that he would begin withdrawing U.S. forces from Afghanistan in July 2011 has given “the enemy a morale boost� because they believe they can simply hold out until the Americans

leave. Rep. Bob Inglis, a Republican from South Carolina and one of the four U.S. congressmen who attended the onehour meeting, said Karzai focused primarily on criticism of private security contractors and the role of Afghan forces in the war. Karzai has ordered all Afghan and international security contractors to cease operations by the end of the year, saying they have abused Afghan civil rights and undermined the authority of the state. Karzai also emphasized that Afghans should take the lead in going into villages to clear out Taliban, with U.S. soldiers behind them playing a supporting role, Inglis told The Associated Press. “I was glad he said that because it indicated a level of ownership and commitment to Afghans taking charge of the task,� Inglis said. But, “I think it’s an open question as to whether the Afghan security forces (are) at that level as of yet.� Karzai also raised concerns about Taliban hideouts in Pakistan, Inglis said, asking the lawmakers to provide more help in trying to stop attacks from across the border. “He seemed pretty pumped up, very determined and energetic and optimistic, which was not the way I thought we’d find him,� Inglis said. Inglis said the lawmakers raised the issue of corruption and that Karzai assured them he is working on it.

Cavs coach Tom Paris says his team must cut costly mistakes that cost them a chance to win in Week 1 By RYAN SARDA sarda@sanfordherald.com

SANFORD — Tom Paris thinks that four crucial mistakes are what cost the Southern Lee Cavaliers a chance in beating South Johnston in last week’s season opener. The Cavaliers, despite getting over 400 yards of total offense and outscoring the Trojans 21-14 in the second half of last week’s 50-28 loss, had several chances to inch back into the game but costly turnovers and mistakes kept them from doing it. In tonight’s contest at E.E. Smith in Fayetteville, Paris says that the Cavaliers have to prevent those mistakes if they want any chance of competing with the Golden Bulls. “We’re going to have to execute,” said Paris. “E.E. Smith is a darn good football team and they are ridiculously athletic.

“We’re going to have to execute. E.E. Smith is a darn good football team and they are ridiculously athletic. They’re big and strong and very, very fast.

SANFORD — They may not be the consensus number one team in the state. But they’re close enough. Lee County High School football coach Burton Cates summed up his team’s opponent tonight — perennial powerhouse Richmond County — succinctly after practice on Thursday, “We’re not playing the number one team in the state, we’re playing the number two team in the state,” Cates said with a grin. The Raiders storm into Paul B. Gay Stadium tonight for a 7:30 game coming off a 31-21 win over a strong Charlotte Providence team in Week 1. Featuring a talented senior running back in Walter Ellerbe, who is getting looks from a host of big-time colleges, the Raiders have been hyped by some in the media

“We don’t have to be the team in the state, just the best team in that stadium (Friday) night. It’s a great challenge and something we look forward to, because you get to test your team the second game of the year without any playoff or conference implications.” — Burton Cates — Lee Co. football coach as the second-best team in the state and one of the top 100 in the nation. On defense, the Raiders are just as strong, with senior linemen Vonnie Dawkins and Antoine Covington and linebacker Eugene Flowers getting D-I looks

CHAPEL HILL (AP) — The investigation of North Carolina’s football program has expanded into possible academic misconduct involving players and a woman who also has worked as a tutor for coach Butch Davis’ son, school officials said Thursday night. Athletic director Dick Baddour declined to identify the players or say how many may be involved, and he refused to specify what the possible violations may have been, saying only that they involved “a student tutor and student-athletes on the football team. Davis “We are looking into improprieties that existed outside the classroom,” Baddour said. “That’s about as close to that as I can get.” The announcement came nine days before the No. 18 Tar Heels’ opener against No. 21 LSU

PARAMUS, N.J. — Yes, that really was Tiger Woods’ name atop the leaderboard. In his first tournament since his divorce, Woods finally looked like the No. 1 player in the world Thursday at the Barclays when he opened with a 6-under 65, his lowest score of the year, to share the lead with Vaughn Taylor. It was his first time leading after any round on the PGA Tour since the Tour Championship last September. “It’s exciting to hit the ball flush again,� Woods said. “It’s something I’ve been missing all year.� He didn’t miss much at Ridgewood Country Club. Woods hit all but one fairway and putted for birdie on all but two holes. And while he hit his driver only twice, they were two of his best shots of the day — including on the 291-yard fifth hole, where his drive landed pin-high and settled 15 feet away. Was it just a coincidence that his game showed up so soon after his marriage was dissolved? “I can’t really say that’s the case,� he said. “As far as golf, it was nice to put it together.� Woods and Taylor both played in the morning, when the greens were smooth and the conditions were only breezy. They had a one-shot lead over Adam Scott, Brian Gay and Ryan Palmer. Scott played in the afternoon, where a gust of wind played tricks on him at the final hole and led to bogey. Scott endured a long day in the pro-am Wednesday and didn’t think Ridgewood would serve up a 65 to anyone.

Tiger Woods watches his shot on the eighth hole during the first round of The Barclays golf tournament Thursday in Paramus, N.J. “Seeing some good scores this morning made me change my mind,� he said. That one of those scores belonged to Woods was hardly a surprise. “For him to piece things together can’t be too hard,� Scott said. “He’s very good.� The last time Woods’ was atop the leaderboard after any round of any tournament was when he won the Australian Masters on Nov. 15, less than two weeks after his life caved in on him — the car crash after Thanksgiving night, details of adultery, five months away from the game and a broken marriage, which officially ended Monday. His golf hasn’t been very good either, which is why Woods began the FedEx Cup playoffs 112th out of 125 players who qualified. He was so low down the list that he was first to tee off under a sunny sky at Ridgewood, the first time he’s done that in his PGA Tour career. It worked to his ad-

vantage. “With fresh greens, everybody in our group was making putts on the front nine,� Woods said. “You had to get it today.� And he did. The 65 was his lowest score in 46 rounds, dating to a 62 in the BMW Championship last year. Taylor grinned when asked if he was surprised to see Woods’ name on the leaderboard. “Somewhat, you know?� he said. “It’s good to see him back up top.� With sunshine and a light breeze, conditions were ripe for scoring. Palmer had a chance to join the leaders until a three-putt bogey on the 18th put him at 66. Even though the greens became bumpy in the afternoon after so much foot traffic, the course was soft enough to allow for good scores. There were 14 players who shot 67, including Davis Love III, defending champion Heath Slocum and Stewart Cink. Phil Mickelson, with his ninth chance in the last four months to replace Woods at No. 1

Petty gets HOF nod at Randleman HS RANDLEMAN (MCT) — Richard Petty, who was inducted with the inaugural class of the NASCAR Hall of Fame, will again be part of a first class in a hall of fame. He will be inducted with the inaugural five-person class at the Randleman High School athletic hall of fame. Petty lettered in basketball, football and baseball while he was at the school and will be honored during half time of today’s 7:30 p.m. game vs. Central Davidson. Petty, who came to fame in NASCAR with 200 career victories, earned the nickname “The King.� He’s also been named to the National Motorsports Press Association Hall of Fame, International Motorsports Hall of Fame, North Carolina Auto Racing Hall of Fame, and the North Carolina Athletic Hall of Fame. Terry Linthicum, who has coached and taught there for 25 years, said that Petty has often and generously supported athletics and other programs at the school. “His door is always open, and he’s always willing,� Linthicum said, “many times when we needed something.� The ring has a blue stone, one of the school colors. “Around the blue stone is ‘Randleman Hall of Fame.’ On one side is the person’s name and the year they were inducted. On the other side it has ‘Tigers’,� Linthicum said, adding that it appears as though the a stamped tiger is jumping out of the ring. — The Greensboro News & Record

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Pack’s Wilson takes nothing for granted RALEIGH (MCT) — If any player at N.C. State should feel secure in keeping his starting job, it’s do-it-all quarterback Russell Wilson. But from the day preseason camp started earlier this month, Wilson has practiced with the attitude that nothing is guaranteed. “That’s always kind of been my mind-set,� Wilson, a redshirt junior, said yesterday during his weekly media interview session. “I’ve always thought that the best guy will play, no matter where you are or what you’re doing. “That’s the way it should be. I’m trying to get better each day, and trying to be the best quarterback each and every Saturday, no matter who we’re playing.� N.C. State’s season opener is 10 days away. Wilson, a two-sport star, is back with the football team for the first time since late November and last season’s final game. — Winston-Salem Journal

CHARLOTTE (AP) — There would inevitably be smiles and chuckles each time a list showing NFL teams’ “top acquisitions� would circulate this offseason and Aaron Francisco would appear in Carolina’s column. Still, while he was there by default because the Panthers made no big-name signings, Francisco has played in the last two Super Bowls and was supposed to be a key cog on special teams, an area where the Panthers desperately needed help. Only now a lingering, ugly looking hamstring injury is putting Francisco’s once secure roster spot in jeopardy. Francisco needed only to lift his shorts slightly to reveal the bloody bruising on the back of his left thigh Thursday to indicate why he was again sidelined after practicing some a day earlier.

in Atlanta, and roughly two months after the NCAA began an investigation into whether two key players — defensive tackle Marvin Austin and receiver Greg Little — received improper benefits from agents. Defensive line coach John Blake’s longtime friendship with California-based agent Gary Wichard also has drawn the NCAA’s interest. Joint interviews conducted by NCAA and school investigators during that probe led them to a player who “raised an issue that we felt like deserved further consideration on our part. “It led us down a road that brought us to what we’re talking about,� Baddour said. While the investigation is centered on the football program, Baddour said that “we will certainly use the opportunity to take a complete look at everything that we’re doing in

tell the whole story. Dills often lept up, side to side and sometimes facefirst on the ground to prevent the ball from going into his net. He almost stopped the lone Yellow Jacket goal, jumping from one post to another and almost punching the ball away, but it slipped by him. “I like to think I’m a spider-monkey,� Dills said after the game, “and that is my key to success.� “We have not seen a keeper performance like that in a long time,� Cavalier coach Jason Burnam said. “Josh came up big tonight, real big.� And he had to. It was a back and forth game all night, with each team getting chance after chance. The Cavaliers hit the post with two shots in the first half. Carter had two wide-open chances go array in the second half before scoring with two minutes left to bring the Yellow Jackets within one, but there was not enough time to complete the comeback. In the 20th minute, Vivas found the ball in a crowded goalie box and punched in a goal with his right foot to put the Cavaliers up 1-0. McCollum’s goal came in the 52nd minute when Caleb Bonardi’s cross slipped

When we found out about the issues, the tutor was not in our employ.� Baddour said the university has assembled a team to investigate the academic questions. While there is no timetable to resolve that aspect of the probe, “it is likely that the review would extend beyond the start of the season,� he said. through the fingers of the Lee County keeper and into McCollum’s header, making the score 2-0. Both McCollum and Vivas came off the bench, which Burman said “dominated� the game. Another sub made a goal-saving and gamesaving defensive play late when Southern Lee’s Arturo Aguirre stepped in the way of a Lee County cross which had gotten by Dills and knocked it out of the box. Lee County coach Brad Wicker was without starting forwards Brady Heath and Ben Grossfuss due to suspensions. He said after the game that they had chances to score, they just did not capitalize. “We could have finished a couple more goals. The last 15 to 20 minutes I thought we held them back.� Coach Burman summed it up best, saying, “It’s a classic game. We’re up and down, back and forth, I think it was pretty even. We finished two, they finished one.� After the game, Burman, a goalie himself, embraced his keeper. Dills had been splitting halves with the other Southern Lee keeper, who sat out the game with a foot injury. In his first big varsity game, he showed off some spider-like skills — giving his post-game statement more than a little merit.

PREP FOOTBALL PREVIEW

Eagles, Chargers clash in nonconference showdown By RYAN SARDA sarda@sanfordherald.com

PITTSBORO — Neither Western Harnett head coach George Coltharp nor Northwood coach Bill Hall started off the 2010 season the way they would’ve liked. Western Harnett sustained a 27-0 loss to Lee County in last week’s opener and Northwood was held off by East Chapel 20-18. Now, with both programs at 0-1, the two teams will square off against each other at 7:30 p.m. Friday in the home opener for the Northwood Chargers. “Both programs are hungry for that ‘W’,� said Coltharp, who is in his second year with the Eagles. “I just hope we’re hungrier than they are.� Despite Western’s tough loss to Lee County, Hall knows how dangerous the Eagles can be. In 2009, the Eagles gave the Chargers everything they had and more in a tough 14-6 loss. “Western Harnett has got some athletes,� said Hall. “They’ve got guys that really get after it. They are not easy whatsoever. They’re going to make us work. They do a lot of different things offensively that can really throw you off. We’re going to have our work cut out for us.� The Eagles were limited to just 32 yards of total offense by the Yellow Jackets in last week’s loss. Hall says that last week’s result was just a sign of how tough Lee County is as an opponent and had noth-

ing to do with Western Harnett’s abilities. “I think that was just a sign of how good I think Lee County is going to be this year,� said Hall. “Western still has a lot of weapons on both sides of the ball. They’ve got some guys that we really need to contain on defense. They’ve got a group of good running backs that we need to slow down. If we don’t, it’s going to be another long day for us.� Coltharp says the Eagles will be more ready than they were against the Yellow Jackets. This week in practice, he’s been encouraged, though. ““Northwood is too good a team for us to come out play like we did last week,� said Coltharp. “ But we had much better practices this week than we did last. I feel pretty confident going into it.� The Chargers will start sophomore quarterback Adam Leviner for the second straight game but backup quarterback Larry Harrington will also see plenty of action as the young Chargers continue looking for a leader under center. Leviner and Harrington helped Northwood obtain 446 total yards of offense. The team was hurt when it was flagged for 159 yards in penalties. Tailbacks Tra Chandler and Austin Matthews were bright spots offensively as each recorded over 100 yards of rushing. “Penalties really hurt us last week,� said Hall. “Penalties and inexperience were what got us.

We could’ve won that game if we hadn’t been flagged so many times. Hopefully our guys learned something from that game.�

Chatham Central BEAR CREEK — Bob Pegram keeps waiting for his Chatham Central football team to finally put it all together. Pegram was pleased with how his Bears played from the second quarter on in last week’s 39-14 season opening loss to Southwestern Randolph. But because the Bears face an uphill battle when they travel to county rival JordanMatthews at 7:30 p.m. Friday in Siler City, Pegram hopes they can finally put it all together and play a complete game. “We have to start well,� said Pegram. “We played well last week for 30 minutes. We need to play well for 48 minutes. Jordan-Matthews is one of those teams where you can’t afford to struggle early. They’ll take full advantage of it. We have to play well from the opening kickoff and keep it going.� The Bears have a few players banged up from the bumps and bruises they took in last week’s loss and from this week’s practice. Despite that, Pegram likes the enthusiasm his boys have shown this week headed into tonight’s rivalry game. “Our guys are pretty fired up,� said Pegram. “We’ve had a pretty good week in practice and I think playing our rivals kind of fires us

up a little bit. I think our guys realize who we’re playing and they know what it’ll mean for our morale if we can get a win. To get a win, though, we’ve got to play a complete game and put it all together.� The Jets opened up the 2010 season with a 40-6 win over Eden Morehead. From what Pegram has seen on film, the Jets are capable of beating teams in a variety of different ways. “They do so many things to beat you,� said Pegram. “They can beat you with their defense. They can beat you with their running game. We’ve got to be ready for everything that they have and more. We’ve got to force them to do things that they aren’t comfortable with and I think that’ll give us an advantage.� Despite the final outcome, Pegram was pleased with his team’s overall intensity and enthusiasm in last week’s loss. He hopes to see that carry over into week 2 when they battle the Jets. “Our guys are confident,� said Pegram. “We did some really good things last week and I hope that carries over to this week. We played hard and fought hard. We didn’t quit either, which is a really good thing. I’m pleased with how we performed and I hope we can do it again. This time, it’s got to be for a full game.� n In other games in the area, Union Pines will face county rivals Pinecrest on the road, and Overhills will travel to Lumberton.

SPORTS IN BRIEF

FEDERER COULD MEET SODERLING IN US OPEN QUARTERFINALS NEW YORK (AP) — If Roger Federer is going to reach a seventh consecutive U.S. Open title match, he might need to get past the man who ended his Grand Slam semifinal streak. Five-time U.S. Open champion Federer was given a possible quarterfinal against two-time French Open runner-up Robin Soderling in Thursday’s draw. The No. 5-seeded Soderling upset Federer in the quarterfinals in Paris this year, stopping Federer’s record run of reaching at least the semifinals at 23 consecutive Grand Slam tournaments. “I’m motivated to do well because I love New York, I love playing in Arthur Ashe (Stadium),” Federer said. “If I couldn’t get motivated by this stadium and this city, then I’d have some issues.” The other men’s matchups in the quarterfinals could be No. 1-seeded Rafael Nadal against No. 8 Fernando Verdasco, two-time major finalist Andy Murray against Wimbledon runner-up Tomas Berdych, and No. 3 Novak Djokovic against No. 6 Nikolay Davydenko or No. 9 Andy Roddick. The top-seeded woman, 2009 runner-up Caroline Wozniacki, could face 2006 champion Maria Sharapova in the fourth round and 2004 champion Svetlana Kuznetsova in the quarterfinals. Other possible women’s quarterfinals set up Thursday are defending champion Kim Clijsters against French Open runner-up Sam Stosur, 2000-01 U.S. Open winner Venus Williams against French Open champion Francesca Schiavone, and 2008 U.S. Open finalist Jelena Jankovic against Wimbledon runner-up Vera Zvonareva.

USC STRIPPED OF 2004 RICE TROPHY LOS ANGELES (AP) — Southern California has been stripped of the 2004 Grantland Rice Trophy, which is awarded by the Football Writers Association of America to the nation’s top college football team. The organization said Thursday that a committee of current and former officers voted to revoke the honor after USC was penalized for NCAA violations. It did not award the trophy to another school. In June, USC received a two-year bowl ban, four years’ probation, loss of scholarships and forfeits of an entire year’s games. The punishment was for improper benefits to Heisman Trophy winner Reggie Bush dating to the Trojans’ 2004 national championship. The BCS has said it will likely force USC to vacate its title but won’t act until the NCAA hears the Trojans’ appeal.

NATS AWAIT STRASBURG’S MRI RESULTS WASHINGTON (AP) — Washington Nationals manager Jim Riggleman spoke for a franchise when asked about the latest exam to be performed on Stephen Strasburg’s valuable right arm. “I’m very anxious about that,” Riggleman said. Thursday was a day of suspense at Nationals Park as the 22-year-old right-hander underwent his second MRI in less than a week. The results will be analyzed and announced on Friday, and the team is hoping they show nothing that will force the rookie phenom to sit out the rest of the season — or worse. Strasburg was pulled from Saturday’s game at Philadelphia when he grimaced and shook his wrist after throwing a changeup. An MRI on Sunday confirmed the initial diagnosis of a strained flexor tendon in his forearm, but the test raised enough questions for the Nationals to order a more extensive MRI that uses an injection of dye into the arm. Strasburg, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2009 draft, was placed on the 15-day disabled list Monday, the second time he’s been sidelined in less than a month. This latest setback come in his third start since returning from the DL because of inflammation in the back of his right shoulder. “The thing with Stephen, he was in my office yesterday saying, ‘I could pitch tonight, I feel great,’” Riggleman said. “But you never know. Jordan Zimmermann last year felt like he could pitch through the whole situation, and it wasn’t to be.”

The overall speed of the Golden Bulls might make it hard for the Cavaliers to contain them on defense and is a big concern for Paris. “They’re so fast, it’s like they’ve got 15 or 20 guys out there on the field,” said Paris. “We know that they are going to play smash mouth football and they’re going

banked some confidence by notching a first-game shutout at Western Harnett last week, 27-0. Cates said there was room for improvement in his team’s performance, but overall he was pleased. “It was a good win for us,” he said. “We were able to control the line of scrimmage both on offense and defense.” But playing teams like the Raiders, and having some success, can only boost Cates’ squad’s

confidence in the young season, he said. That’s why the Yellow Jackets recently signed a contract to face the Raiders in each of the next two seasons as well. “We’re excited to get to play them for two more years,” he said. “I don’t think you can get better unless you play the best.” The current Jackets probably have heard stories from their fathers and uncles about the rivalry between the two

teams in the 1970s and 80s, Cates said, but right now that same fire may be a few years away. “We want to get our program to where Richmond County is,” Cates said “I characterize a rivalry as when two teams play a very close, contested game. Until we get a close game with them, it’s not a rivalry.” It could take a step in that direction tonight, though. Cates said he has been impressed with

his team’s work ethic all spring and summer, and that passion hasn’t let up through the first month of the season. “We’re playing with a lot of passion right now,” Cates said. “My biggest goal is for us to play with the same passion as we did last week. It’s pretty easy to do something right one time, but to duplicate it and have it become a part of your team’s character each week will pay off in the

long run.” Tonight at Paul B. Gay Stadium, the Jackets will need that passion to pull off the upset. “We don’t have to be the team in the state, just the best team in that stadium (Friday) night,” Cates said. “It’s a great challenge and something we look forward to, because you get to test your team the second game of the year without any playoff or conference implications.”

to get after it. They’re a good football team and they’ve got a tough team. It’s not going to be easy.” After not winning a game since 2008 and enduring a winless 2009 season, the Cavaliers made a lot of strides in the right direction in last week’s loss to South Johnston. Quarterback Ashton Gaines threw for 260 yards and three touchdown passes, completing 26 of his 47 passing attempts. Wide receiver Quentin Ingram had 11 catches for 133 yards. Robert Richard had 10 grabs for 83 yards in the

loss. “As a coaching staff, we watched the film and pointed out the things we did well,” said Paris. “We scored, moved the ball well and had over 400 yards of offense. Those are definitely some huge positives for these guys.” But those mistakes were absolutely critical to the Cavaliers. “We had two turnovers inside the red zone,” said Paris. “We also had two blocked punts. When you make those kinds of mistakes, you aren’t going to win. It doesn’t matter where you’re playing. If a team makes those kinds

of mistakes in the NFL, they are going to lose. We cannot afford to make those kinds of mistakes.” After having his entire team view the film and stressing the areas of importance, Paris feels a little bit better about where his team is this week compared to last week. “The eye in the sky does not lie,” said Paris. “The team saw some proof of where they need to get better when they saw the film. We all know it because we have proof of it on film. We place a great sense of urgency on the areas where we want

to get better. That’s what we’re doing. We’re trying to make them better football players by improving in certain areas.” The attitude at Southern Lee’s practices is positive. The players are starting to believe and the coaches are starting to like what they see from their team. It’s just a matter of proving it and executing on the field. “These kids are believing in what we’re asking them to do,” said Paris. “We’re fighting the good fight and things are starting to show on the field. Now that they have those

mistakes on film, these guys want to come out and correct those mistakes. We’ve got to show it on the field now.” Paris says that if the Cavaliers can at least stay competitive with the Golden Bulls, then it will increase their chances of winning the game. “If we can stay competitive, I think we’ll be fine,” said Paris. “If we can compete with them, I think it gives us a chance to beat them. That’s all dependent on us working together and playing in sync on offense, defense and special teams for four quarters.”

DEAR ABBY: Our son, “Jason,” has decided to leave college with only two semesters left in order to pursue his love of river guiding and outdoor programs. While he was in school, his father and I paid for his cell phone, health and car insurance, and his rent because we wanted his focus to be on his studies. We also paid his tuition. Jason has a part-time job. Now that he has decided to leave school, our view is that he should find another job and assume these expenses. My husband and I disagree about who should pay for any future education Jason wants. If he goes back to school, his tuition will be paid for, says Dad. I think we would be enabling him if he thought we were always standing by to foot the bill. We are heartsick that Jason has made this decision, but his mind is made up. Any advice from you would be appreciated. — UNHAPPY MOM IN MISSISSIPPI DEAR UNHAPPY: I agree that Jason should shoulder the responsibility for his living expenses. However, do not make any hard and fast decisions about his tuition while you are still angry at him. This situation will play out. If and when Jason decides to complete his education, discuss the matter of tuition then. o

Mass. police: Shark sighting a practical joke

Man shot in head felt bullet only 4 years later

SOMERSET, Mass. (AP) — A practical joker in Massachusetts has taken advantage of recent shark sightings and caused a scare with a fake fin. Police say about 50 people were drawn to a Somerset, Mass., cove on Wednesday night after someone reported seeing a shark fin in the water. Police tell the Herald News of Fall River that several 911 calls came in to Somerset and Swansea police. Responding officers soon realized that the “shark” was just a piece of Styrofoam cut into a fin shape, wrapped in gray duct tape and weighted down. There was no word on who pulled the prank. Several Massachusetts beaches have been closed this summer after shark sightings. Police cautioned that the joke could have caused a problem had there been a real emergency call.

BERLIN (AP) -- A 35-year-old man who walked around for five years with a bullet lodged in the back of his head says he suspected for a while something was there but only went to doctors after he started getting headaches. Robert Chojecki was partying on New Years Eve five years ago in the German town of Herne when he was hit with the .22-caliber bullet. Doctors removed it this week from between his skin and skull. The Polish-born Chojecki told RTL television Wednesday he thought he’d been hit by fireworks, but later forgot about it. He said at first he had “no pain, but approximately one year ago I started to get a headache.” Police say the bullet may have been fired in celebration. Doctors say he should have no problems now that it has been removed.

Ohio police chopper camera falls off, smashes cars COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A camera mounted to a police helicopter in Ohio fell off mid-flight, striking at least three vehicles in a parking lot. No one on the ground was hurt when the infrared camera valued at roughly $100,000 came crashing down around noon Wednesday in Columbus. One vehicle was heavily damaged. At the time the chopper dropped its accidental bomb, the helicopter was being used in the search for a missing woman. Police Sgt. Richard Weiner (WY’-nur) says the camera had been reinstalled on the chopper before it took off. It’s not clear why the camera came unhitched. Police are investigating, along with the Federal Aviation Administration.

Snake in electrical box causes NY hospital outage POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. (AP) -- A snake slithered into a switch box outside a New York hospital, where it met its maker and caused a 10-hour power outage. Officials at Vassar Brothers Hospital in Poughkeepsie say backup generators kicked on Tuesday afternoon when a common-variety snake got into the switch box and disrupted the hospital’s main power supply. Workers found the dead snake inside the box. Hospital officials say there were no patient care disruptions caused by the outage, which lasted from 3 p.m. Tuesday to 1 a.m. Wednesday. Some emergency room cases had to be diverted to other hospitals.

Cults can lead you away from Christ Q: Some people came to our door recently and offered to explain the Bible to us, which we let them do since we’d never thought much about God. But how do I know if they are a cult? I don’t want to get sucked into a cult, but they’re friendly and have interesting ideas. - R.B. A: I’m thankful you and your wife now want to find out about God. He has put this desire in your hearts, and I pray you won’t be satisfied with anything less than knowing Him. Jesus’ promise is for you: “Seek and you will find” (Luke 11:9). But I also pray you won’t take the wrong road in your search - which you’d be doing if you allowed yourself to be led astray by a cult. How can you tell if this group is a cult? For one thing, cults often claim that the Bible isn’t sufficient, and they add other books to it (usually written by their founder). Cults also claim that they, and they alone, know the way of salvation, and you must be part of their group in order to be saved. The most serious disagreement between Christianity and cults, however, concerns Jesus Christ. The Bible clearly teaches that Jesus was God’s unique Son - fully human and fully divine - sent from heaven to save us from our sins by His death on the cross. As the Bible says, “The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 6:23). Cults, however, deny this. The most important step you will ever take is to turn to Jesus Christ and by faith commit your life to Him. Then ask Him to guide you to a church where you can learn more about Jesus and His great love for you. God bless you.
