HIGH POINT – A Greensboro man has been charged with involuntary manslaughter in what High Point police are calling an accidental shooting of a 12-year-old boy.

At 9:04 p.m. Monday, police responded to an apartment complex at 1205 Glenstone Trail in reference to an assault with a deadly weapon call. When police arrived, McRae officers found 12-year-old Ali Hafez on the pavement in front of the complex’s basketball court.

Police said Havez sustained a gunshot wound to the chest area. He was transported to High Point Regional Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.

Police charged Artez McRae, 18, of 3200 Stony Point Drive, Greensboro, with involuntary manslaughter. He was initially jailed under a $25,000 bond, but a Guilford County judge on Tuesday lowered that amount to $10,000 and placed him under pre-trial supervision, according to the High Point Clerk of Court’s Office.

High Point police Lt. Steve Myers called the fatal event “totally an accidental shooting.” He said the details of why the gun was in the possession of McRae “are still being muddled over” by police.

“There was no planning,” Myers said of the shooting.

“There was no malice. There was no hatred. There was no nothing. They didn’t even know each other. There was no relationship between the two. It’s just when Mr. McRae put his hands on the gun, it accidently discharged and (Havez) was basically a bystander in the crowd.

“There was a crowd up there,” Myers added. “This is a basketball place where folks from the apartment complex and their friends come together, and Mr. McRae has been known to play ball up there. He was actually there visiting a friend.”

McRae’s next court date is set for Sept. 1 in High Point District Court. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

Chief makes rounds at Night Out events

BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – National Night Out has become very important for High Point police Chief Jim Fealy.

“It is very important for us to stay close to the neighborhoods and the people,” Fealy said Tuesday during a stop at the event hosted by West End Ministries.

“West End is dear to my heart.

This is where we started with the community programs. We work better when we work together.”

The national event was created more than 20 years ago as a way to raise neighborhood safety awareness and spotlight crime prevention. It is estimated that more than 15,000 communities nation-

wide participate.

High Point police say the gatherings showcase neighborhoods and police working together and demonstrate to criminals that resiFealy dents are involved with police to help deter crime.

Police officers typically visit many of the events over the course of the evening. Fealy usually makes the rounds of neighborhood churches and other locations where people gather for summer fun and food and to visit their neighbors.

Event locations ranged from West End Ministries on W. English Road to Southside Recreation Center on Taylor Avenue

Rescue crews pulled victim’s body from lake Tuesday.

HIGH POINT – Search crews recovered the body of a city resident Tuesday from Oak Hollow Lake near Festival Park following a two-hour search.

Rescue crews were called to the scene about 4:12 p.m. Tuesday after a park ranger reported an overturned canoe. High Point Fire Department divers began searching the lake after a cooler, some shoes and oth-

er items were found floating in the water.

Searchers found Jack Rogers Horner Jr., 52, unresponsive in the water. So far, the death has been ruled an accident.

“We think he was fishing,” said High Point Police Capt. Cherie Maness.

Horner’s dog was in the canoe and swam to shore. The dog was returned to the family.

State wildlife officers will continue the investigation, Maness said.

Johnson leaves Central High School

Michelle Ungurait, former GCS magnet schools director, was named associate superintendent for Peoria, Ill., Public Schools. She will take the job held by Herschel Hannah, who vacated the position earlier this year. Ungurait’s husband, Brad, will work as a high school benchmark specialist for the district.

Johnson was named 2007 “Best in Class” Secondary Principal of the Year for leading the school to higher academic achievements by meeting both federal and state testing standards.

Central was labeled a “school of progress” after showing growth under the state’s ABCs of Public of Education and

ing the city’s annual Martin Luther King Jr. Community Celebration for her work for social justice and human rights. Johnson came to the district in 2002 from Burlington, where she was a teacher.

Johnson is one of at least three Guilford County educators to take jobs recently in Peoria. The apparent link to North Carolina is Superintendent Grenita Lathan, a former school administrator in San Diego Unified Schools, who also worked in Guilford County Schools as an elementary school principal, according to the Journal-Star.

Lathan has recruited seven people from North Carolina, according to the newspaper. The Peoria district has yet to announce salaries for the recent appointments.

Johnson earned $92,000 a year while at Central High.

CBL & Associates reports that it has written down the depreciated book value of Oak Hollow Mall to its estimated fair value.

“The write-down resulted in a non-cash impairment of real estate in the second quarter 2010 of $25.4 million, or $0.13 per diluted share,” CBL & Associates reports.

NC death row inmates look for life in new law RALEIGH (AP) – Five death row inmates are testing a new North Carolina law that would allow them to argue racial bias played a role in their sentences, and they may soon be joined by dozens of others.

Lawyers for five prisoners filed motions in Davie, Forsyth, Martin, Randolph and Union counties Tuesday, seeking to have their death sentences converted to life in prison without parole.

The prisoners, all of who are black and had white victims, argue that racial bias, in the form of all-white or mostly white juries, helped land them on death row.

Under the terms of a 2009 state law, the Racial Justice Act, the prisoners can use statistical evidence to argue their cases.

Six teens from two families drown; none knew how to swim SHREVEPORT, La. (AP) – Seven teenagers from two families were splashing around in the shallow waters of the Red River when one of them stepped off a slippery ledge and plummeted into much deeper water.

The others tried to save the boy even though none of them could swim, but they too were swallowed by the water some 20 to 30 feet deep.

Their relatives, who couldn’t swim either, looked on helplessly as six struggling teens screamed for help, then vanished and drowned on Monday afternoon.

Deadly flooding spreads in Pakistan KOT ADDU, Pakistan – Floodwaters surged into Pakistan’s heartland and swallowed dozens of villages Tuesday, adding to a week of destruction that has already ravaged the mountainous northwest and killed 1,500 people.

The rush of muddy water over river banks in Punjab threatened to destroy vast stretches of crops that make the province Pakistan’s breadbasket, prompting the U.N. to warn that an estimated 1.8 million people will need to be fed in the coming weeks.

Mexico drug violence kills 28,000 since ‘06 MEXICO CITY – More than 28,000 people have been killed in drug violence since President Felipe Calderon launched a crackdown against cartels in 2006, a government official said Tuesday.

Intelligence agency director Guillermo Valdes also said authorities have confiscated about 84,000 weapons and made total cash seizures of $411 million in U.S. currency and $26 million worth in pesos (330 million pesos).

Mines still deadly, bosses ordered below BEIJING – A month ago, China’s premier ordered mining officials to go down into the shafts with their workers, but the step meant to improve safety in the world’s deadliest mines hasn’t saved lives.

More than 100 people have died in that time, with 21 people killed in two mine accidents reported Tuesday. State media have noted with surprising sharpness that none of the dead seemed to have been mine managers or bosses.

Pakistan’s leader says world losing war LONDON – The U.S.-led coalition’s battle against the Taliban has already been lost because of its failure to win over the Afghan people, Pakistan’s president warned Tuesday.

President Asif Ali Zardari said the coalition had “underestimated the situation on the ground and was not conscious of the scale of the problem” against the Taliban largely because “we have lost the battle to conquer the heart and soul” of the Afghan people.

Ex-deputy: Wyclef Jean to run for Haiti PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti – The former head of Haiti’s Chamber of Deputies says singer Wyclef Jean is about to announce his candidacy for president of a nation struggling to recover from the Jan. 12 earthquake.

A Pakistani man reads a code of conduct reportedly published and distributed by Taliban in Chaman, a Pakistani border town along the Afghanistan border.

Afghanistan directive limits attacks on civilians KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) – The Taliban have issued a new code of conduct ordering fighters to protect civilians – as long as they don’t side with the Afghan government or NATO coalition. If they do, the punishment is death.

The 69-page directive, obtained Tuesday by The Associated Press in southern Afghanistan, follows an acceleration

in Taliban attacks on Afghan officials – a campaign that threatens the NATO goal of bolstering local government to help turn back the insurgents.

“The Taliban must treat civilians according to Islamic norms and morality to win over the hearts and minds of the people,” says the code, which the insurgents began distributing about a week ago.

On the other hand, the code makes clear that civilians who work with foreign troops or the Afghan government are fair game. “They are supporters of the infidels” and can be killed, the code says.

The code updates a similar directive released a year ago that limited the use of suicide bombers and mandated that prisoners cannot be harmed

ADEISSEH, Lebanon (AP) – Lebanese and Israeli troops exchanged fire Tuesday in a fierce border battle that killed a senior Israeli officer, two Lebanese soldiers and a journalist – underlining how easily tensions can re-ignite along the frontier where Israel and Hezbollah fought a war four years ago.

It was the worst fighting since 2006 in the area, where Israeli and Lebanese soldiers patrol within shouting distance of each other, separated by the U.N.-drawn Blue Line boundary.

The fighting flared into Israeli tank, helicopter and artillery strikes near this Lebanese town, but ended after several hours and there was no sign that either side was preparing to escalate.

The Shiite guerrilla force Hezbollah said it offered to help the Lebanese army but in the end did not get involved.

Car bomb kills 15 BAGHDAD (AP) – A car bomb ripped through an outdoor market Tuesday in a mainly Shiite city southeast of Baghdad in the deadliest of a series of attacks that killed at least 22 people nationwide.

The blast in Kut, 100 miles (160 kilometers) southeast of Baghdad, targeted a popular outdoor market that sells food and clothes, killing at least 15 people and wounding 60, according police.

Gunman opens fire at beer distributorship, killing 9

AP

Employees of Hartford Distributors hug at a police staging area where employees were taken after a shooting at a beer distribution warehouse Tuesday in Manchester, Conn.

MANCHESTER, Conn.

(AP) – A warehouse driver who a union official said was caught on video stealing beer from the distributorship where he worked went on a shooting rampage there Tuesday, killing eight people and wounding two before committing suicide, authorities said.

Omar Thornton, 34, pulled a handgun after a meeting in which he had been offered the chance to quit or be fired, Manchester Police Chief Marc Montminy said.

The gunman, who was black, had complained

of racial harassment and said he found a picture of a noose and a racial epithet written on a bathroom wall, the mother of his girlfriend said. Her daughter told her that Thornton’s supervisors

‘Static kill’ appears to be going well ON THE GULF OF MEXICO (AP) – A leader of the operation to plug up the blown-out oil well at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico says the process is going well.

Wellsite leader Bobby Bolton says it’s possible crews could finish the so-called “static kill” Tuesday after the process began around 3 p.m. Officials, though, have said it could take days.

The effort involves pumping mud and eventually cement down the broken wellhead to plug it up. Officials say they won’t know whether it worked until they can finish a relief well nearby in the coming weeks.

Capt. Keith Schultz says he’s “very confident we’ll be able to kill this well.”

Meanwhile, the Obama

administration hopes to lift a freeze on deepwater drilling well before its scheduled Nov. 30 expiration date, the nation’s top drilling regulator said Tuesday.

Michael Bromwich, director of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement, said he and Interior Secretary Ken Salazar were gathering information to decide whether to revise or even lift the ban, which has shut down drilling at 33 ocean wells in the wake of the BP spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

Also on Tuesday, Democrats gave up trying to pass even a scaled-back energy bill this summer that would have removed liability ceilings on oil companies, a reaction to the BP oil spill.

Heat, ‘lean manufacturing’ take a toll on workers The current heat wave continues to take its toll on the employees of Thomas Built Buses at the Courtesy Road facility. While there are no defined heat tolerance levels by OSHA, there is within those regulations what is known as the General Duty Clause wherein the employer is duty bound to adhere to a standard free of hazards known or unknown.

Earlier within the season, the effects of the heat had such a remarkable effect upon some employees that many had to be transported to the emergency room with complaints of chest pains. One individual has been hospitalized twice due to the heat factor.

All of this is occurring under the concept of lean manufacturing which in reality is management by stress. The production pace is continually rapid wherein the employees are in fact supervising each other. Consequently, lean manufacturing has such an impact upon the lives of the employees to such an extent that they do not have a possibility of maintaining worker interpersonal relationships.

Perhaps in America it is time for a serious review of lean manufacturing with a return to that

High Point vote draws attention

A

long-time High Point businessman has become the face of a new political group that aims to shake up the High Point City Council. Sanders Dallas III, who actually lives in Winston-Salem, but whose family has for decades had business connections here, wants Comeback High Point and the candidates it supports to put new faces on City Council and in the mayor’s post.

The group, according to Dallas, wants to correct what it sees as “High Point’s lagging economic performance” and to unseat a City Council that members of the group see responsible for it.

Such ambitions will make for an interesting few months until the Nov. 2 municipal election.

Speaking to the Enterprise recently, Dallas noted the city has numerous vacant buildings, contending that is evidence of an ailing city economy that elected leaders have allowed to happen. He said the city needs the business experience that candidates and members of his group offer.

We have no argument with the sentiment that business experience is a huge plus for a mayor or someone sitting in a City Council seat. But we do think an opposition candidate will have a hard time proving that the current City Council (1) has little business experience and (2) has created a bad economic climate in High Point. Yes, there are vacant buildings around, but economic development numbers just don’t indicate neglect

by City Council in spurring business and industrial development.

However, there is room to argue that the city needs to review its approach to economic development and to assess whether changes in its philosophy are needed. Perhaps, it can be argued that the city has put too much economic development emphasis on attracting business, industry and housing to north High Point and beyond and not enough on redevelopment and residential in-fill of areas such as south High Point and the central downtown area.

Any credible challenger – whether part of Dallas’ group or not – must specifically identify an incumbent’s failings and then lay out his or her own plans for how the job should be done, and then convince voters. Election Day is just three months away.

Obama takes hits from unexpected source

Y

ou expect Republican politicians to criticize Democratic administrations and vice versa. But when Democrats start criticizing Democratic administrations, that is news. Someone once said that the headline “Dog bites Man” is not news, but “Man bites Dog” is. We are now starting to get “Democrat bites Democrat” news.

Long-time Democratic pollsters Patrick Caddell and Douglas Schoen last week took on one of President Barack Obama’s most bitter betrayals of his campaign rhetoric and the high hopes of people who voted for him.

Their op-ed piece in the Wall Street Journal dealt with race, and it pulled no punches: “Rather than being a unifier, Mr. Obama has divided America on the basis of race, class and partisanship. Moreover, his cynical approach to governance has encouraged his allies to pursue a similar strategy of racially divisive politics on his behalf.”

Cynical? This man with the lofty rhetoric and sermonizing style? Only if you follow his deeds, instead of his words.

Part of the polarization that Barack Obama has caused among the American public has been due to the fact that some people do not look behind rhetoric and symbolism. Such people are prime candidates to become part of the Obama cult. Those who look only at deeds tend to become critics. But those who closely follow both his words and his deeds are the most outraged of all, because of the gross contradictions between those words and those deeds.

Caddell and Schoen go all the way back to Jeremiah Wright in tracing Barack Obama’s actual track record when it comes to race. That Obama spent 20 years in the church of a man preaching racial hate should have told us all we needed to know.

That Obama as president of the United States, on nationwide television, could attack a white policeman who arrested his friend Henry Louis Gates, while admitting that he didn’t know the specifics, should have alerted even those who had bought the excuses about Jeremiah Wright.

Caddell and Schoen also mention the refusal of Obama’s Justice Department to prosecute black thugs who stationed themselves outside a voting place to intimidate whites who came there to vote. It was caught on tape but the career Justice Department attorney who handled the case was told to drop it – and resigned rather

than be part of a sordid coverup.

Now, Caddell and Schoen argue, the Obama administration’s coming to the rescue of illegal immigrants in Arizona is more of the same race-based politics, in OPINION this case to win the Hispanic vote. What Barack Obama Thomas and his followers want is Sowell called “comprehensive immi■■■ gration reform.” What that amounts to is some form of amnesty up front, combined with a promise to strengthen the border later. That political game has been played for years, and it has roped in some weak-kneed Republicans, as well as being a mainstay of Democratic politics.

Regardless of what immigration policy anyone believes in, the government cannot carry out that policy until after it has first gained control of the borders. Regardless of what Washington politicians may say about how many immigrants should be allowed into the country, or on what basis, none of that matters when the real decision is in the hands of innumerable other people, who can simply climb over a fence along the border and come on in whenever they feel like it.

Even if they get caught, the most that is likely to happen to them is that they get sent back to try again later. In many cases in the past, they have been issued legal documents ordering them to appear in court – and were released inside the United States. Why anyone would think that people who disregarded the border and the fence would take a piece of paper more seriously defies logic.

That doesn’t mean that Washington politicians were stupid. They were political, which is worse. The point was to win Hispanic votes, even though not all Hispanics believe in open borders.

President Obama would rather have an issue with which to win the Hispanic vote than to have a bipartisan bill that would simply take control of the borders. Such a bill would help the country but that obviously takes a back seat in an election year.

Even some members of Obama’s own party are uneasy with such cynicism.

American journalism faces conflict: inform or titillate?

THREE VIEWS ON THE WAR IN AFGHANISTAN

---

‘T

he History Boys” is one of my favorite films. Based on a play by Alan Bennett, it’s the story of eight history students caught between the conflicting teaching philosophies of professors Hector and Irwin.

Hector is of the old guard, a whiskered and eccentric man who believes in knowledge for its own sake. His students learn Victorian poetry by heart, perform scenes from musicals and memorize the endings to old films. They don’t follow any real curriculum so much as they try to absorb the odds and ends that Hector has collected into his vast repository of a brain over the years.

Irwin is the new hire, an upstart academic from Oxford whose goal is not to edify but to teach the art of the application. His students learn to write application essays that stand out from the crowd. If you’re certain of the right side, he tells them, take the wrong side.

Defend Stalin. Defend Hitler. Make the admissions officers notice you.

Irwin doesn’t believe in truth, only in winning. All eight of his students make it into Oxbridge.

I’ve written this column since 2008. I’d always read the newspaper and watched snatches of the news before writing for the Enterprise, but after I started writing, I did it differently. I didn’t skim for the funny bits. I picked out the things I thought were important, and I weighed them carefully, to see whether or not I had a marketable opinion about them.

The columns themselves were always a balancing act between my Hector side and my Irwin side. I wanted to write about the horrific KBR rapes and the Guilford hate crime incident because I thought people ought to know about those things. Just knowing means something. On the other hand, I wanted to write about the Muslim

community in High Point and the philosophy of political correctness because I wanted to catch the attention of the public and persuade them to see a diffiTEEN cult, socially fraught VIEW situation from a different perspective.

Meredith Modern online, Jones print and televi■■■ sion journalism struggles with the same conflict: to inform or to titillate? Educate or entice? American journalism is a business, not a public service, but it is a business that must provide a public service.

Because of this, journalism sways constantly between those stories with a solid contextual base in facts and those with scandalous headlines and clickable pictures, caught between the ethically stoic delivery of fact and the profitable packaging of opinion.

There is no right or wrong in the battle of Hector and Irwin. Both men are looking out for the good of their students. Both men espouse a philosophy that serves their individual purposes. Hector wants to impart all his hard-won knowledge, because just knowing means something. Irwin wants to shock, to vivify, to persuade – Irwin wants to be marketable.

And I want to walk the line between the two. Writing this column has given me Hector’s boundless curiosity and Irwin’s eye for the dramatic. I hope that something I wrote in the past two years caught your attention. I hope that once it did, it made you want to learn more about it. That’s the best of both worlds.

Democrats, GOP push dueling conclusions on court nominee

Even Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan’s harshest critics acknowledge there is no doubt about the debate’s outcome. The vote is expected Thursday.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Democrats and Republicans presented dueling portraits Tuesday of Elena Kagan and the Supreme Court she’s seeking to join at the start of a politically charged debate over her fitness to be a justice, making what amounted to closing arguments before a nearcertain confirmation vote by week’s end.

Democrats praised President Barack Obama’s nominee as a highly qualified legal scholar who would add a sorely needed note of fairness and com-

Republicans countered that Kagan is an inexperienced, disingenuous nominee who would abuse her post by bending the law to suit a liberal agenda.

“I don’t think it’s a secret. I think this is pretty well known that this is not a judge committed to restraint, (or) objectivity,” said Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama, the top Judiciary Committee Republican.

Residents complain of crime, noise

BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Residents of a south High Point neighborhood say they’re concerned about illegal activity they say is occurring on Richland Street.

The Richland Street residents complained to city officials this week that loud music, prostitution and drug dealing have been occurring on the street. One resident said malnourished animals also could be found at one home.

“We are tired of the music that is playing at all times of the night,” Richland Street resident Tammy Weaver told the High Point City Council on Monday. “We are tired of rats. We have a

rat problem with the house that is next door to us.”

Mildred Sexton is Weaver’s neighbor. She said she’s been feeding a dog who has gotten loose from one of the homes on Richland Street. “(Monday), the little thing got loose and come to me,” Sexton said before she burst into tears. “You can count every rib the little thing had.

She’s eat up with ticks and God knows what else.”

Sexton told the City Council that she has been awakened by what she called “bone-bone music” during the late hours of the night.

“I don’t have to put up with it because I have lived there almost 40 years, and my home is paid for,” she said.

“I can not afford to leave and let them have it. It’s not just

right. I don’t care how many drugs they sell. I don’t care if they have cars parked all the way around their house, but that bone-bone music needs to stop, and the cruelty to the animals, somebody has to do something. It breaks my heart.”

Richland Street resident Linda King said she is in the process of moving because of the issues in the neighborhood. She said her husband, Stephen King, was raised on Richland Street.

Ward 3 Councilman Mike Pugh, who represents the area, said he had received calls from residents of the area. He said he has been out to the neighborhood to observe the issues and also has made reports to High Point police. Pugh said the

problem exists at several homes on Richland Street.

“A lot of folks are boarding up their houses,” he said. “I know some property owners are trying to sell their properties through there, and the prices are just giveaway prices because of the deterioration of the neighborhood. I don’t want to see anyone driven from their home. That’s not right.”

Pugh said a home at 1022 Richland St. has problems with junked cars, dogs and feces in the backyard. He said zoning enforcement went to the home months ago and found out the homeowner had filed bankruptcy. He said zoning officers told him they couldn’t do any further enforcement because of the bankruptcy.

WHO’S NEWS

----

High Point police Lt. Steve Myers said officers have increased patrols on Richland Street. He said officers this year have responded to mostly noise complaints, at which time officers found no disruption or the people complied with police to lower the sound. There have been no reports of prostitution, and officers have been to the residence that was the target of the dog complaint and found there were no signs of neglect for which police could file charges, Myers said.

“Since this has come to our attention, we have increased patrols, and it has been noticed by the neighbors,” he said. “Now, we’ve got to wait and see.”

Judy Schanel was promoted to president, The Moses H. Cone Memorial Hospital, and executive vice president, Moses Cone Health System.

GUILFORD COUNTY – High Point hotels, restaurants and shops should benefit from the spillover impact of the well-attended Market America international convention taking place at the Greensboro Coliseum Complex this week.

More than 25,000 people are expected to visit the Triad as Market America holds its annual convention from Thursday through Sunday. The event marks the 18th consecutive year that Market America has staged its convention in Greensboro, home of its global headquarters.

The Market America convention is expected to have a $21 million overall economic impact on the area, according to figures from the High Point Convention & Visitors Bureau. Approximately 1,000 Market America conventioneers are expected to stay in High Point this week, with an estimated economic impact on the city of $635,660, the CVB reports.

The Market America convention is the largest event overflowing from Greensboro each year on the High Point tourism front, said CVB President Charlotte Young.

Market America, a product brokerage and Internet marketing firm, provides customer managers with business, leadership and product training and product demonstrations at the event.

The Greensboro Police Department will manage major intersections in the vicinity of the Coliseum during the convention.

“It is recommended that commuters not attending the Market America convention be aware that the Coliseum/High Point Road area is expected to have a high volume of traffic during morning and evening rush hours, as well as the event’s mid-day lunch break (approximately 12:30 – 2:30 each day),” according to the city of Greensboro’s announcement. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

Thomasville officials mull alcohol sales at farmers market

BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

THOMASVILLE – Thomasville may get a third city-owned property that will be allowed to have the sale and consumption of alcohol.

The city’s Public Safety Committee on Tuesday decided to forward new rules for the Thomasville Farmers Market for City Council consideration later this month. The proposed rules allow for the sale of alcohol by only nonprofits, but those selling alcohol must abide by a list of guidelines.

Currently, alcohol sales on cityowned property are allowed at Winding Creek Golf Course and HiToms baseball games at Finch Field, said City Manager Kelly Craver.

City Council members, all of whom were in attendance at the Public Safety Committee meeting Tuesday, are examining rules for the farmer’s market because they approved last month a set of guidelines for the PACE Community Park, which is located beside the market. The council is prohibiting the use of alcohol at the park because it is not a confined area.

The proposed rules, which restrict alcohol to only malt beverages and unfortified wine being served, mandate that consumption would be restricted to the farmer’s market area. Nonprofits also would have

Council members have received estimates that insurance may cost nearly a $1,000 for those selling alcohol at the farmer’s market.

“The ones who might tend to do it not the right way are probably the ones you don’t want there anyway,” Councilman Scott Styers said. “If the cost is excessive to them, quite honestly, that doesn’t bother me.”

Councilman Ronald Bratton said he’s concerned that if the city is too restrictive on the rules for alcohol, PACE Community Park may only be used a few times a year.

City officials said nonprofits must get a special permit from the

The proposed rules also require those renting stalls at the farmer’s market and selling or giving alcohol away to hire off-duty police officers to patrol the area. The proposed guidelines also leave it to the discretion of the city manager whether an event can be held in conjunction with park. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

Helen Hitchcock Sheahen HIGH POINT – Helen Hitchcock Sheahen, age 97, of High Point, NC and Deerfield, Illinois passed away peacefully August 1, 2010, with her daughter Mary Ann Bohi by her side. Helen, known as Hana to her 11 grandchildren and 22 great-grandchildren, would have been 98 this September.

She always believed you can’t do much better in life than to leave your little piece of this world better than you found it.

As a grade school teacher and mother she practiced this philosophy in every way.

Suspect in NC girl’s shooting death pleads guilty CARTHAGE (AP) – A 21-year-old North Carolina man has pleaded guilty to first-degree murder and breaking and entering in the shooting death of a 12year-old girl during an apparent burglary attempt.

The Fayetteville Observer reported that Michael Graham Cur-

rie admitted Tuesday morning to shooting Emily Haddock to death in 2007. Currie entered his plea in Moore County Superior Court.

In exchange for his plea, the state agreed not to pursue the death penalty and will recommend a sentence of life in prison without parole.

Emily Haddock was shot in the head when five men kicked in the door at her home near Cameron and were surprised to find her home from school.

Duke drops plan for energy station near Cherokee Indian site CHARLOTTE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Duke Energy has dropped plans for an electric station near a sacred Cherokee Indian site in western North Carolina, drawing praise from tribal leaders who had balked at the project.

The Charlotte utility said in a statement that it has found two alterna-

tives to its original plan to build at a site overlooking a mound marking Kituwah, an important site for the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians. The company said Monday it worked for several months with tribal and community leaders to find new locations.

Duke says one alter-

NC agency wants back wages for airline workers WINSTON-SALEM (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Workers who lost their jobs when North Carolina-based Pace Airlines went bankrupt may have a chance of getting up to four weeks of unpaid wages.

The Winston-Salem Journal reported the

North Carolina Labor Department has filed a request with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court and the North Carolina Justice Department to get about $1.5 million in wages for more than 420 workers.

The wages range from $30 to nearly $8,000.

whether she would veto any of those remaining.

They include legislation that would amend state purchase and contracting laws, allow University of North Carolina campuses to keep money realized by energy savings and help turn abandoned manufacturing sites into locations to develop renewable energy sources.

North Carolina governors have vetoed 10 bills since the chief executive received the authority in 1997 following a change to the state constitution.

Only one veto has been overturned.

Several Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts stood around Perdue in the old House

chamber Tuesday as she signed a bill that would allow worn North Carolina state flags to be respectfully retired by burning them, in keeping with federal law for U.S. flags.

A Boy Scout troop from Charlotte and Girl Scout troop from Johnston County helped lobby for the law because there was no set way to dispose of North Carolina flags. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thank you for your very good idea,â&#x20AC;? Perdue said.

Perdue also signed a bill making clear itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s illegal for medical providers and others to give or receive kickbacks for the use of Medicaid services and legislation designed to pre-

Attraction to father-in-law is in danger of overheating

D

ear Abby: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m 25 and have been married to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bobâ&#x20AC;? for five years. The problem is, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m in love with his 53-year-old father.

I have always been attracted to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Charlie,â&#x20AC;? but my feelings have escalated since Bobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother died last year.

After the funeral, Charlie was lonely and started coming to our house. Most of the time Bob was at work, so Charlie and I became very close. At one family get-together, Charlie kissed me passionately in the kitchen when no one was around.

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what to do. I think I am seriously in love with Charlie, but my husband is a wonderful man and I would never want to hurt him.

If I tell Bob the truth, not only will it destroy our marriage, but forever ruin Bobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relationship with his father.

Should I ignore my feelings for Charlie and pretend it never happened? Or should I tell Bob what happened, hoping heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll understand? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; In Love With The Older Version Dear In Love: Charlie may have been lonely and grieving when he started coming over, but when you both recognized that you were becoming attracted to each other, a stop should have been put to it. That he would actually hit on you â&#x20AC;&#x153;when no one was lookingâ&#x20AC;? is disgraceful.

(Was he sober?)

If you tell your hus-

band, he will indeed â&#x20AC;&#x153;understand,â&#x20AC;? and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recommend it.

You need professionADVICE al counseling, and Dear Charlie Abby needs to be â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; told that poaching on the family preserve is not allowed, so he should spend his lonely hours looking for company thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s available. What you have described isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t love; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a scandal.

Dear Abby: Two years ago I placed my second child for adoption. I was a single mom with a 3-year-old boy to raise and the father was in the military for an extended mission. I thought long and hard before I did it and decided that the gift I could give to another couple was better than the life I could offer a child as a single parent.

I am still in contact with the father. We speak often, comfort each other and just talk.

Some people â&#x20AC;&#x201C; mainly men I have dated â&#x20AC;&#x201C; find this relationship disturbing. It has caused two relationships to end.

Abby, am I wrong to continue a friendship with the father of a child I gave up for adoption?

I know that at some point the past needs to be the past, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to deal with it for the rest of my life. Is it wrong to want to have that other person there

to connect with me and understand firsthand what a hard life decision I went through? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Given Up So Much Already in Pennsylvania Dear Given Up So Much: No, but if you are trying to cultivate and maintain a relationship with someone else, you need to recognize that clinging to the father of that child and talking to him â&#x20AC;&#x153;oftenâ&#x20AC;? was somewhere between threatening and a turn-off for the men you were involved with. THEY should have been the ones providing understanding and comfort â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not him.

Dear Abby: I have been living with my boyfriend for three years. We have often talked about a future together, complete with a house, kids, etc. I am the breadwinner while he is working hard to achieve success as an artist. The role reversal suits us just fine except for one thing.

I would like to become engaged, but I feel I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect him to propose when I know he has very little money. Abby, should I propose to him? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Breadwinner in New York, N.Y. Dear Breadwinner: I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see why not. It happens every day!

DEAR ABBY is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

vent a repeat of a judgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ruling that potential major polluters receiving local and state incentives must accept more stringent environmental reviews up front. The bill was passed after a judge said in May a fuller environmental review was needed for a proposed Titan American cement plant and quarry near Wilmington.

Perdue signed into law Monday a broad ethics, campaign finance and government reform bill. The measure toughens penalties for illegal campaign donations above $10,000 and expands personnel information that must be released to the public about state employees.

Court orders new trial in fire death RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The North Carolina Court of Appeals has agreed a man serving life in prison for the death of another homeless man set on fire with gasoline should get a new trial.

The three-judge panel ordered on Tuesday a new trial for David Richard Davis, who was convicted last year of first-degree murder in the death of Michael Winecoff in 2005. The judges ruled Davisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; rights were violated because of how Winecoffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s autopsy was admitted as evidence when the reportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s author didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t testify.

Perdue nears end of bills left on her desk RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Gov. Beverly Perdue is almost done with the stack of bills left on her desk by the North Carolina General Assembly when it adjourned last month, signing at least eight more into law on Tuesday.

Perdue has signed at least 102 of the 109 measures, according to the Legislatureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s records, and plans to sign four militaryrelated bills on Wednesday at a ceremony at a National Guard center in Morrisville. Perdue has until midnight Monday to veto bills, sign them into law or let them become law without her signature.

Leg pain often comes from clogged arteries

D

ear Dr. Donohue: What can you tell me about peripheral artery disease in my legs? How about the ballooning of those clogged arteries? Where is a good place to go for that procedure? – E.K.

BLONDIE

Activity causes chest pain in people with clogged heart arteries.

It causes leg pain for people with clogged leg arteries – peripheral artery disease. Angina is the chest pain of heart artery clogging; intermittent claudication is the leg pain that comes from clogged leg arteries. The obstructed arteries can’t deliver enough blood to leg muscles when a person walks. The leg muscles signal they’re being shortchanged in their blood supply by rebelling with pain. The pain can occur anywhere in the legs. If the blockage is high up, then thigh pain is the result. If a bit lower down, it’s calf pain. Lower down even more produces foot pain.

“Intermittent” indicates that the pain leaves when the person rests.

Diabetes, cigarette smoking, high blood pressure and high blood cholesterol are some of the things that lead to artery clogging. Aging is, perhaps, the biggest contributor to it.

About 17 percent of men older than 65 have this problem, and about 17

percent of women of that age have it.

A doctor confirms the diagnosis by HEALTH measuring blood presDr. Paul sure at the Donohue ankle and ■■■ comparing it with blood pressure in the arm. The two readings should be about equal. If the ankle blood pressure is much lower, it indicates that there’s an obstruction in the leg arteries.

Treatment involves a diet that reduces the amount of fat and cholesterol; it’s essentially a diet of fruits, vegetables and whole grains, with less red meat and more fish. Although walking brings on pain, walking is a treatment, too.

The person walks to the point of pain, rests and then resumes walking.

Medicines like aspirin, Plavix and Pletal can be beneficial.

You ask about the balloon treatment. It’s the same kind of procedure used to open clogged heart arteries.

A slender tube with a deflated balloon at its tip is inched through the artery to the point of obstruction. When that’s reached, the doctor inflates the balloon to squash the obstruction.

The population of your

city is 50,000. I am sure many competent doctors there are versed in this procedure and can treat PAD as well as it can be treated anywhere. Ask your family doctor for a name.

Dear Dr. Donohue: What can you tell me about medical foods?

My doctor has put me on Limbrel to treat my osteoarthritis. He says it’s safe and has few side effects. After five days of use, I feel much better.

– F.G. Medical foods are foods that are more than nutrients. They have a place in the management of some illnesses. Limbrel, for example, contains flavonoids. These compounds act as antioxidants, neutralizing the harmful byproducts of cell chemistry. They also soothe inflammation like swollen, achy arthritic joints. I like the way Limbrel is marketed. It’s available only through prescriptions and without a huge amount of hype. I can’t say everyone gets the same results you did. Stick with it if it’s working for you.

HiToms eye quick return to top form G

reg Suire positively beamed on the special nights his HiToms celebrated the past few years.

The ring ceremonies. The pennants being raised beyond the center-field fence. Posing for the championship photos after three straight Petitt Cups from 2006 to 2008.

The president of the Coastal Plain League’s Thomasville franchise tried to rev up the Finch Field faithful with that same enthusiasm this summer, but it wasn’t easy. The losing took a toll on the players. On the fans. And on the face of the HiToms.

“Seven years in a row we’ve been playing after today, and all the sudden, boom – you hit rock bottom,” Suire said Tuesday from Finch Field. “To finish .500 every now and again, OK. But to finish 20 games under .500 here, with as much work as we’ve put in this place, that’s unacceptable for me as a leader, and I have to do a better job.”

Thomasville capped a 17-37 season Monday night with a loss to Gastonia. The .315 winning percentage proved second-worst in the 15-team league – Petersburg was 13-43 – and the HiToms never found themselves in a pennant race in either half. Prior to winning four of their last five games, the HiToms dropped 19 of 22.

Suire took the blame, but also said a change will be made in the dugout. Tom Dorzweiler, who took over the team in the middle of the 2009 season, will be replaced after helping with the team the past several years.

“Tom will remain with the organization,” Suire said. “He’ll be with us somehow for sure.

I have a lot of respect for Tom, Tom’s very loyal – but the role, as the record shows, just didn’t fit with him.”

Suire hopes to hire a manager with head-coaching experience by the end of the month. And the new coach will be much more involved in recruiting next year’s players, said Suire, who over the past few seasons has taken on more and more of that role.

The talent was there this summer, Suire suggested, but not the chemistry or leadership for which he had hoped. High Point University standout Murray White IV provided a nice local boost before leaving in July with an injury. The same went for local prep star Daniel Kassouf, who played brilliantly in a short stint last summer but was plagued by illness before leaving early this year.

Cass Hargis, of Southeast Louisiana, led the team with a

.326 batting average and ended up second in the CPL in hits. Tyler Frederick of Louisiana-Lafayette batted .310, Ole Miss’ Alex YarSPORTS brough was at .299 and his college Steve teammate, Tanner Hanf Mathis, ended the ■■■ year at .297.

All those top hitters had one thing in common: They were freshmen.

“At one time, 18 of our 27 players were freshmen, and though they were from big schools, and they all played (during the college season), when they were here they were not the role players they were at their other institutions. They had the talent. It’s just that, for whatever reason, it just didn’t flourish here. We never clicked.”

While the team’s batting average of .246 ranked fifth in the CPL, the pitchers landed 12th with an earned run average of 4.69. HiToms hurlers walked 280 batters – 97 more free passes than Thomasville hitters earned.

Miami of Ohio’s J.J. Jankowski stood out with a 3.21 ERA and team-record 76 strikeouts in just 47 innings, but otherwise, wins were hard to find on the mound.

“The numbers don’t lie, and I’m not running from it at all,” Suire said. “It was an extremely difficult year, in every phase of it.”

That’s why, while eight teams were preparing for the Petitt Cup playoffs, Suire was preparing for next season. He needs to decide on a manager. He needs to decide on which players to bring back next year – after all, they won’t be inexperienced again next summer. He needs to land top talent from mid-major Division I colleges instead of the country’s biggest programs.

And he needs to have a winning atmosphere to bring back the fans. While attendance was “OK” this summer, Suire said the losing record certainly hurt walk-up sales.

“People have expected this organization to be successful,” Suire said. “This year we didn’t do it. When you win three championships in a row, the expectations change – and they changed for myself, too.”

Suire certainly didn’t expect the surprise he got this summer. Expect him to do everything possible to make next summer filled with more special nights. shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

This Nov. 1, 2009 file photo shows Brett Favre raising his arms to the Lambeau Field crowd after the Minnesota Vikings beat the Green Bay Packers 38-26 in Green Bay, Wis. Favre has reportedly told several Vikings teammates he plans to retire, but Minnesota officials remain hopeful he will change his mind and return for a 20th NFL season.

Favre may be done MANKATO, Minn. (AP) – Even though Brett Favre has told some of his teammates he’s calling it a career, the Minnesota Vikings are hoping for one last change of heart from the quarterback who just can’t stay retired.

Favre has started to contact teammates and Vikings officials to say he will not return for a 20th NFL season, tight end Visanthe Shiancoe said on Tuesday evening.

“He told a couple guys on our team he’s going to retire,” Shiancoe said after practice. “He hasn’t told me yet. I’m going to check my phone right now, but it hasn’t been said publicly yet so I don’t know what to believe.”

Earlier Tuesday, a person with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press that the 40-year-old Favre contacted the Vikings to say he wouldn’t return this season because his injured left ankle is not responding as well to surgery and rehabilitation as he had hoped. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because no official announcements were made.

Coach Brad Childress said Favre had not told him directly that he plans to retire as of Tuesday morning. The coach would not confirm Favre’s status with the team, calling it a “fluid situation,” and he was unavailable for comment after the evening practice. Owner Zygi Wilf declined to comment.

“I’m not a big hearsay person,” Childress said. “I gotta hear it from the horse’s mouth.”

As always with the former MVP, things could change. Favre and his agent, Bus Cook, did not return messages from the AP. “I plead the fifth on everything,” defensive end Jared Al-

LIONS REACH DEAL WITH SUH

---

DETROIT (AP) — Ndamukong Suh and the Detroit Lions have agreed to terms on a five-year contract worth $40 million guaranteed, giving one of the NFL’s worst defenses a big boost up front.

Both sides were working on the language of the deal and it was expected to be done by Wednesday morning, according to a person familiar with the negotiations. The contract could be worth as much as $68 million.

The person spoke to The Associated Press on Tuesday night on condition of anonymity because the talks were confidential.

Detroit selected the former Nebraska defensive tackle with the second overall pick in April’s draft. The Lions won two games last year after becoming the first team in league history to go 0-16.

The 6-foot-4, 307-pound Suh was the first defensive player to win The Associated Press College Football Player of the Year award since its inception in 1998.

He had 41⁄2 sacks against Texas in the Big 12 title game and finished the season with 12.

len said. “I love Brett and he reserves the right to do what he wants to do. We obviously love him as a teammate. We’d like to have him back. But until it’s official, I’ll believe it when I see it.”

Fair enough. With Favre, nothing ever seems final. He told the Vikings last year he wouldn’t play, but changed his mind and joined them immediately after they broke training camp.

The Philadelphia Phillies’ season-long wave of injuries has claimed All-Star first baseman Ryan Howard for at least 15 days.

Howard, who was leading the NL with 81 RBIs, went on the disabled list Tuesday because of a sprained left ankle. The Phillies said the sprain was moderate.

“We’re hopeful he’ll be back in two weeks,” general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said. “It may be longer than that.

We’re not sure.”

The 2006 NL MVP was hurt Sunday while sliding into second base at Washington. He traveled with the team to Miami, but when swelling in the ankle became worse, he returned to Philadelphia for an MRI exam Tuesday.

Howard is the 15th Phillies player to go on the disabled list this season. Shane Victorino and Chase Utley are sidelined now, leaving the twotime defending NL champs without a big chunk of their offense as they try catch first-place Atlanta in the East.

The move involving Howard was retroactive to Monday. John Mayberry Jr. was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley and will join the team today.

Howard was in an 0-for-14 slump when hurt but was hitting .292 with 23 homers. Tuesday’s game was only the second he hasn’t started this season.

Cody Ransom replaced him at first base, and Jayson Werth moved into the cleanup spot.

Ross Gload is also available to play first.

hen Atlanta’s Jason Heyward stole home against the Washington Nationals in a recent game, it got me thinking.

Who holds the big-league record for most steals of home in a game, season and career?

Stealing home is such a rare and exciting play, but it seems we see fewer and fewer thefts of the plate anymore. But things aren’t always what they seem. So I did a little research.

Turns out in this case, things really are what they seem.

The heyday of stealing home came between 1880-1930. Ty Cobb holds records for most career steals of home (50), steals of home in a season (eight in 1912) and steals of second, third and home on consecutive plays (four).

Eleven players have stolen home twice in the same game. Most of those came before 1920. The last to achieve this feat was the Indians’ Vic Power on Aug. 14, 1958.

Max Carey ranks second in all-time steals of home with 33, followed by George Burns (no, not that George Burns) with 28, Honus Wagner with 27, and Sherry Magee and Frank Schulte with 23.

What do the top six men on the career list have in common? They all played between 1897 and 1929. In fact, 18 of the top 20 and 26 of the top 30 on the all-time steals of home list were active between 1890 and 1929.

The only “modern” players in the top 20 are Jackie Robinson (19) and Rod Carew (17).

The 1912 Yankees hold the team singleseason record with 18 steals of home, The

1911 Cubs and 1912 Giants share the NL team record with 11.

Carew stole home seven times in 1969. The NL record for steals of home in a season is seven by Pete Reiser of the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1946.

Amazingly, Babe Ruth stole home 10 times in his career. There have been 13 steals of home in World Series play. The Yankees’ Bob Meusel achieved that feat twice (1921 and 1928). The most recent steal of home in a World Series game was by Cardinals’ catcher Tim McCarver in 1964. That came on a double-steal.

Hope you enjoyed a few of these stolen memories as much as I did.

Nuggets make changes in front office

DENVER (AP) — The Denver Nuggets have shaken up their front office, declining to extend the contracts of executives Mark Warkentien and Rex Chapman.

Warkentien was the league’s executive of the year two seasons ago when Denver reached the Western Conference finals.

The Nuggets were 42-21 last season when they lost coach George Karl to cancer treatment and Kenyon Martin to another knee injury in March. They faded down the stretch under acting coach Adrian Dantley and fell to Utah in the first round of the playoffs.

The Nuggets said Tuesday they would restructure the front office.

FISHING

---

Catch of the day: ESPN sells fishing organization CELEBRATION, Fla. (AP) — ESPN is selling its BASS fishing organization to a group of investors that includes former TV host Jerry McKinnis.

The network announced Tuesday that it had an agreement that would allow the Bassmaster Elite Series and Bassmaster Classic to remain on ESPN networks.

McKinnis hosted “The Fishin’ Hole” on ESPN from 1980 to 2007. The group is also led by retired Time Inc. executive Don Logan and former Deloitte CEO Jim Copeland.

BASS is the largest membership organization of bass anglers in the U.S. with more than 500,000 members. It was purchased by ESPN in 2001 and includes three magazines and a website.

Seahawks’ Curry remains out with concussion RENTON, Wash. (AP) – Seahawks starting linebacker Aaron Curry will likely remain out until at least Thursday because of a concussion he sustained on the opening day of training camp last weekend.

Seattle’s fourth overall pick in the 2009 missed his third consecutive practice Monday evening, but coach Pete Carroll said he was much better.

Asked if Curry had a concussion, Carroll said, “Yeah, he got hit the other day in the

head and we rested him. He’s OK. “With one practice (Tuesday, then a day off from practice today) we’ll cruise Curry him through until Thursday, but he’s just about ready to pop back out there, so that’s good.

Good signs.”

Besides Monday’s two practices, Curry also missed Sunday’s more intense, full-pads

drills. Team doctor Stan Herring, considered an expert in brain trauma, was seen at team headquarters between practices Monday.

Herring, the co-medical director of the Seattle Sports Concussion Program, led a crusade to get a new concussion law passed in Washington state that sets out conditions for how head injuries are to be dealt with in youth sports.

Saturday, Curry repeatedly banged his head into running

back Justin Forsett and other teammates in a particularly spirited first day of camp.

Carroll said Sunday his $34 million linebacker got “dinged a little bit” and had some headaches.

The NFL’s awareness of concussions and brain injuries is increasing. The league is placing posters in team headquarters that warns of the dangers from concussions in much harsher language than previously used in a pamphlet dis-

tributed to players from 2007 through last season.

The league’s steps last season included stricter return-toplay guidelines detailing what symptoms preclude someone from participating in games or practices; a mandate that each team select a league- and union-approved independent neurologist to be consulted when players get concussions; and the departure of the two cochairmen of the NFL’s committee on brain trauma.

After McNabb, then what?

Beck joins Redskins QBs

AP

Newly-signed Washington quarterback John Beck throws a pass during a workout at the team’s training camp at Redskins Park on Tuesday in Ashburn, Va.

ASHBURN, Va. (AP) – Donovan McNabb has played all 16 games in a regular season only once in the last six years. For all his hard work to stay fit, there always seems to be something that causes him to miss a game. Or two. Or more.

That makes the battle for the Washington Redskins’ backup job more than just a curiosity. Odds are someone other than the six-time Pro Bowl quarterback will be taking more than just a few token, mop-up snaps this season.

The latest name added to the mix is John Beck, a former BYU standout and second-round draft pick by the Miami Dolphins. Beck took part in his first Redskins practice Tuesday, a day after he was acquired in a trade with the Baltimore Ravens.

“It was definitely kind of weird playing with one team in the morning and then meeting with another team at night,” Beck said. “The offenses are very different, so I kind of feel like a rookie coming in. Your head’s spinning a little bit.”

It sure looked that way. Beck was well off target with his first two throws in a 7-on-7 drill, including an awkward flatfooted attempt that certainly won’t find a place in the Beck family archives. It took an easy screen toss to running back Ryan Torain to get the new guy with the red hair somewhat on track.

Beck wasn’t alone, though. It was the first 7-on-7 of training camp, and it was a rough one. McNabb’s first throw was a simple pass in the flat – right into the hands of cornerback Carlos Rogers for an interception. Rex Grossman and Richard Bartel didn’t exactly light up the field, either.

“Usually it’s this time of year when you’re installing your offense and installing your defense that there are a bunch of lulls,” coach Mike Shanahan said. “You have to push through it.”

Grossman. Bartel. Beck. Shanahan

had a history of keeping only two quarterbacks during his long tenure with the Denver Broncos, so there could be room for only one among those three behind McNabb on the 53-man opening day roster.

Gone from the competition is Colt Brennan, the Redskins’ 2008 sixth-round pick who developed an incredibly persistent cult following – the Cult of Colt – after going 9 for 10 against backups in a preseason game as a rookie. But Brennan never appeared in a regular season game, spent last season on injured reserve after hip surgery and struggled mightily at this year’s training camp. He was cut Monday after the trade for Beck.

Grossman has the decided advantage, having spent last year with the Houston Texans running this same offense under new Redskins offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan. When McNabb has a question about the offense, he’ll ask Grossman if the coaches aren’t around.

Grossman also took the Chicago Bears to the Super Bowl at the end of the 2006 season, but that’s also the one and only season he’s kept a starting job from beginning to end. He’s become one of those familiar, face-on-the-sideline veteran backups, throwing just 71 passes over the last two years.

Bartel is one of those young backups piling up time on the bench. He’s been released four times in his NFL career and served as the Redskins’ No. 3 quarterback for the final six games of last season. The trade for Beck has put him on notice.

“Sure, absolutely – that’s kind of the way I take it,” Bartel said. “I feel like to stay motivated, you put yourself in the situation, ‘OK, new guy coming in, is this something about me?’ ” Beck got into five games with the dreadful 1-15 Dolphins as a rookie in 2007. Beck hasn’t started a game since.

Beck spent last year with Baltimore.

Steelers coordinator: Roethlisberger never better LATROBE, Pa. (AP) – If Ben Roethlisberger’s offseason troubles are bothering him, Steelers offensive coordinator Bruce Arians certainly hasn’t noticed.

Less than a week into training camp, Arians’ assessment of his quarterback: Never been better.

Arians can’t remember Roethlisberger being in such good shape or throwing the ball this well so early during any of his previous six camps. He has yet to be intercepted during team drills, and Roethlisberger has gone entire practices without throwing an incompletion.

“He’s in the best shape I’ve ever seen him,” Arians said Tuesday. “His arm is live and he has no interceptions and very few incompletions unless they were dropped. This may be the best I’ve ever seen him right now.”

Roethlisberger is quickly alleviating any Steelers worries that he might be distracted or preoccupied with the offseason accusation that he sexually assaulted a Georgia college student. He was not charged following the March incident, but was suspended by

the NFL for six games – a punishment that could be shortened to four games.

Roethlisberger admittedly was worried before camp opened how the fans would react to him, given the intense criticism he received following the accusation. So far, there been no sign of hostility at Saint Vincent College, no booing or discernible anti-Roethlisberger sentiment.

“You can tell he’s been working to improve himself,” wide receiver Hines Ward said.

Instead, Roethlisberger has looked so sharp, Arians is focusing more time on figuring out what the Steelers will do offensively during the suspension.

The answer: Probably not as much as they could if Roethlisberger played a full season.

Byron Leftwich, all but certain to start while Roethlisberger sits out, possesses an intimate knowledge of the offense and throws the deep ball well, but is not as mobile.

Dennis Dixon, the third-year quarterback from Oregon, runs better than any Steelers quarterback since Kordell Stewart but has a single game of starting expe-

rience. He’ll likely begin the season as the starter only if Leftwich gets hurt.

Arians is so encouraged by how Roethlisberger looks, he believes the offense can be as good as it was last season, even though Roethlisberger can play no more than three-quarters of the season. Roethlisberger threw for a career-high 4,328 yards in 15 games and Hines Ward and the now-departed Santonio Holmes each had more than 1,000 yards receiving.

“We want to improve the running game, but we damn sure don’t want to step back in the passing game,” Arians said. “We want to have another 4,000-yard passer and two 1,000-yard receivers, and I don’t care who they are. Now put the running game back to where it belongs, and I think we’re pretty potent offensively.”

Returning the running game back to a Steelers-like level – Pittsburgh ranked an uncommonly low 19th in rushing last season – was believed to be a major priority. But the necessity of preparing two starting quarterbacks in camp, one to start the season and the other to finish it, is shifting some attention away from that.

Packers’ Jolly agrees to settle drug charge SALE HOUSTON (AP) – Suspended Green Bay Packers defensive end Johnny Jolly made a deal with prosecutors Tuesday to avoid trial on a felony drug charge and have the case against him dismissed if he stays out of trouble for the next year.

Jolly was given pretrial diversion, a form of probation that will have the charge against him dismissed in a year if he doesn’t break the law and completes other requirements, including 160 hours of community service. Part of the community service will be 10 speaking engagements where he will talk to chil-

dren and others about the dangers of drug use.

The agreement was reached as Jolly’s trial was set to begin this week.

He had been facing up to 20 years in prison if convicted. Jolly was charged with possession of a controlled substance – having at least 200 grams of codeine – after being arrested July 2008 in the parking lot of a Houston club known for drug and gun use. In Jolly’s car, police found cups that had a codeine mixture.

State District Judge Mike Anderson accepted the agreement only after lecturing Jolly at length about his responsibili-

ties as a role model to children who look up to him because he is an NFL player. “This is hopefully a step in the right direction,” Anderson told Jolly. “There is just so much good you can do. You can give them an example

that will live longer than the longest career.”

“Yes sir,” responded Jolly, 27, who declined to talk to reporters after the court hearing. But in the agreement, Jolly said he is aware of his position as a role model.

Tomlinson recharged, motivated with Jets CORTLAND, N.Y. (AP) – The menacing dark visor is still there, hiding LaDainian Tomlinson’s determined eyes.

The logo on the helmet is different these days, but the desire to be great remains.

For everyone who thinks he’s a shell of the player he once was, the New York Jets running back can’t wait to burst through the line and show that you’re wrong. “I just want to prove that I’m not done,” Tomlinson said Tuesday. “I still can make plays and I’m still a valuable part of the team. That’s what it’s about and I’m eager to do that.”

At 31, Tomlinson is on the downside of his career, but he and the Jets are convinced he can help them in their quest to win the Super Bowl.

“Oh, he’s still quick,” second-year running back Shonn Greene said. “He’s still got that quick step and he’s very versatile. He can do a lot of things, line up in the slot, outside. I think he still has it.”

That’s what the Jets were banking on when they signed him to a two-year deal in March. Granted, Tomlinson is coming off the worst season of his career after rushing for 730 yards and averaging 3.3 yards per carry for San Diego. He also struggled against the Jets in the playoffs when he had 24 yards on 12 carries.

“The thing, honestly, about Tomlinson is if he’s coming down, he’s coming down from the very top of the mountain,” coach Rex Ryan said. “It’s not like he was three-quarters of the way coming down.”

The 2006 NFL MVP is eighth on the league’s career rushing list with 12,490 yards, but was cut by San Diego in February. Once one of the NFL’s most dynamic players, Tomlinson is expected to back up Greene and do whatever he can to help an offense that ranked first in rushing a year ago.

“This is my first time going live in practice in all my years and I love that because it’s football, and you’re going to get hit,” he said, smiling. “The quicker you get acclimated to getting hit and being on the ground, it’s better for you when the games start.”

Tomlinson routinely would see limited action in the preseason with San Diego, not playing much – if at all – during games. He’d like that to change this summer. “I want to play,” he said. “I want to be with the guys. Everybody else is going to play and I want to be a part of that.”

Tomlinson insists he has always been a good teammate, despite what some Chargers players might say. A few recently told the San Diego UnionTribune that Tomlinson often wanted things his way.

Carolina fullback Tony Fiammetta (42) runs through a drill during practice at the team’s training camp in Spartanburg, S.C., on Monday. Fiammetta knows it won’t be easy replacing longtime starter and fan favorite Brad Hoover in the Panthers’ backfield mix.

Panthers’ Fiammetta has big shoes to fill SPARTANBURG, S.C. (AP) – When DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart would discuss the NFL rushing duo record they set last season, it wouldn’t take them long to praise their fullback.

Former Ledford High and Western Carolina legend Brad Hoover was the bruising, tough blocker the Panthers relied on for 10 seasons – until he was the victim of Carolina’s offseason purge of veterans.

Now Williams and Stewart – the first set of teammates since the 1970 merger to each rush for over 1,100 yards – must rely on inexperienced second-year pro Tony Fiammetta to duplicate their success this year.

“Still a little bit different in the back because Hoover thought as a tailback because he played tailback in college,” Williams said.

“He had that mindset and he had the mindset of being a bruiser. He knew what was going on, the ins and outs of the offense.

“Not saying that Tony Fiammetta doesn’t know that, it’s just that it’s kind of hard to teach that.”

Fullback has long been a position in which it takes some time to get comfortable. The Panthers’ old-style running game depends on the fullback to not only be the lead blocker on running plays, but serve a key role in pass protection.

“We lean on the running game quite a bit and there are some nuances of the fullback position with the type of running game that we have that takes a pretty instinctive guy to figure out,” coach John Fox said. “It is a mental position as well as a physical position.”

Hoover thrived in that role for years. He’s third in franchise histo-

ry with 153 games played and was a fan favorite known as “Hoooov” at Bank of America Stadium.

But the pounding seemed to take a toll last season. Hoover missed five games with a lingering back injury, and at 33, was deemed too old in the offseason for Carolina’s youth movement.

“It was probably one of the best things that could have happened to me,” Fiammetta said of playing behind Hoover last season. “He’s just a professional and the mental side, he was all over it. He helped me grow as a football player. I hope he catches on somewhere else because I think he’s still got a lot of good football in him.”

But now Fiammetta, a fourth round pick in 2009 out of Syracuse, must take over after a shaky rookie season. He dropped the first pass thrown his way last season, and struggled with pass protection at times, acknowledging it was tough to know the right blocking style to use on speedy and bigger players.

“I think it’s a challenge for anybody coming into a new offense to feel completely comfortable from the start,” Fiammetta said. “After a year and a half of being in the NFL, I feel great and I feel like I’m ready to do big things out there.”

The biggest obstacle is to think like a running back. He played the position in high school in Maryland, but was strictly a fullback at Syracuse with only 16 carries. Hoover was a tailback in college and at the beginning of his pro career.

“Pretty much on any given running play, both the tailback and the fullback have the same read,” Fiammetta said. “Just the fullback is about two and a half yards ahead,

so it’s very important for the fullback to have good vision and see the hole that’s going to be there when the running back gets there.

You want to be that lead blocker.”

The 6-foot, 242-pound Fiammetta has a similar build to Hoover and it was inevitable when they spent a draft pick on him that Hoover’s days were numbered.

“I knew they brought me in for a reason,” Fiammetta said. “My reaction was that it was a great opportunity for me and this is the position I want to be in.”

Williams and Stewart will be depending on him. With Matt Moore set to begin his first season as a full-time starting quarterback, the Panthers are expected to rely even more on their potent ground game.

Stewart rushed for a 1,133 yards and 10 touchdowns last season and Williams had 1,117 yards and seven scores as the Panthers ranked third in the NFL in rushing.

While much of that had to do with Carolina’s elite offensive line, the fullback opened a lot of holes, too.

Fiammetta hasn’t had any major gaffes in training camp, and even filling in for a few snaps at running back because of a rash of injuries.

But it will be in the games when the quiet Syracuse product will try to win over fans used to seeing Hoover play an unsung yet important role for the local team.

“He’s a lot more comfortable,” Fox said. “He sat behind maybe one of the better guys as far as knowing what to do in Brad Hoover. He’s gotten to watch him operate for a year and we actually saw him grow last year throughout practices.”

Goodell: No final decision yet on Eagles’ Vick BETHLEHEM, Pa. (AP) – NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said he has yet to announce a decision on Michael Vick, leaving open the

possibility the Philadelphia Eagles backup quarterback still might face disciplinary action.

Goodell planned to speak with

Vick on Tuesday while visiting the Eagles during his training camp tour. He said he’ll make his decision public after the meeting.

Falcons’ DT Babineaux suspended 1 game by NFL FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP) – The NFL suspended Falcons defensive tackle Jonathan Babineaux for one game Tuesday after his arrest last year on marijuana charges.

Babineaux will miss the Falcons’ Sept. 12 opener at Pittsburgh.

He also has been fined one week’s pay, $260,000 of his $2.2 million salary.

Babineaux pleaded guilty to felony marijuana possession July 19. The charge was reduced in a Gwinnett County court to three misdemeanor counts.

He received one year of probation.

Police found 11⁄2 ounces of marijuana in Babineaux’s car when he was arrested in December. He and a friend were driving through suburban Atlanta at the time.

The suspension will leave the Falcons without their most produc-

tive defensive tackle.

Babineaux led the Falcons with six sacks last season. He forced two fumbles.

The Falcons could be left with two young starters at defensive tackle.

The Falcons hope 2009 first-round pick Peria Jerry earns a starting job. Jerry missed most of his rookie season with a knee injury.

Coach Mike Smith said Tuesday that Jerry is moving closer to gaining full medical clearance. He has been limited through the first week of training camp.

Rookie Corey Peters, a third-round pick from Kentucky, could take advantage of Babineaux’s suspension to start against the Steelers.

Thomas Johnson, who started 10 games last season, Trey Lewis and Vance Walker are the other top defensive tackles in camp.

Dow Chemical profits rise on sales NEW YORK – Dow Chemical Co. said Tuesday that increased demand and higher prices for chemicals used in products ranging from consumer electronics to adhesives drove it to a second-quarter profit.

The nation’s largest chemical manufacturer by sales also said better-than-expected savings from a restructuring plan put in place during the recession helped it earn $566 million, or 50 cents per share in the second quarter, after paying preferred dividends.

That compares with a loss of $486 million, or 47 cents per share, a year earlier.

Pending home sales drop WASHINGTON (AP) – The number of buyers who signed contracts to purchase homes dropped in June, as the weak economy and tight lending standards kept consumers away from the housing market.

The National Association of Realtors said Tuesday that its seasonally adjusted index of sales agreements for previously occupied homes dipped 2.6 percent to a reading of 75.7.

That was the lowest on records dating back to 2001 and down nearly 19 percent from the same month a year earlier. The index has fallen by more than 40 percent from its peak in April 2005. May’s reading was revised slightly downward to 77.7.

High unemployment, weak job growth and tight credit have hurt the housing market. Sales picked up in the spring when the government was offering tax credits of up to $8,000.

However, once the tax credits expired on April 30, sales plunged.

Economists say the government incentives prompted many buyers who might have signed contracts during May and June to move their purchases up. That’s one reason for the sharp decline.

But they also point to the growing inventory of unsold homes on the market.

It has risen to almost 4 million. That’s nearly a ninemonth supply at the current sales pace, the highest

level since August. It compares with a healthy level of about six months. And that doesn’t include millions of foreclosed homes that have yet to go onto the market.

Many analysts believe the number of homes for sale or headed for foreclosure is so high that prices will slip this fall and hit the bottom by early next year.

“There’s too much supply for the demand that’s there,” said Michael Feder, chief executive of Radar Logic Inc., which tracks the housing market. “That’s not a dynamic in which values go up.”

The index provides an early measure of sales activity because there is usu-

ally a one- to two-month lag between a sales contract and a completed deal.

The sales report was driven by a more than 12 percent drop in the Northeast and a 9.5 percent decline in the Midwest. Sales were down only 0.2 percent in the West and rose by nearly 4 percent in the South.

Though mortgage rates have been at or near the lowest level in decades, the economy remains weak.

Plus, many buyers have been scared away by the prospect that home prices could start to turn downward again.

Because housing is such an important engine of the economy, lower prices could dim the recovery.

BP to sell Colombian assets for $1.9 billion

Spending, incomes show weakness

LONDON – BP says it has agreed to sell its oil and gas exploration business in Colombia for $1.9 billion to a consortium of Ecopetrol, Colombia’s national oil company, and Talisman of Canada.

The deal announced Tuesday is the latest in BP’s plans to sell up to $30 billion of assets to cover costs related to the Gulf of Mexico oil spill.

The company last month agreed to sell assets in the U.S., Canada and Egypt to Apache Corp. for $7 billion. It also plans to sell assets in Pakistan and Vietnam.

Oil tops $82 despite negative reports NEW YORK – Oil prices rose above $82 a barrel Tuesday, making for a rare day where energy markets are running opposite to the stock market. The increase came despite disappointing corporate earnings and consumer spending reports that signaled slower economic growth.

Benchmark crude for September delivery rose 99 cents to $82.33 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange as traders instead took their cue from a weaker dollar.

Dollar sinks to multi-month lows NEW YORK – A worsening picture of U.S. consumer spending drove the dollar lower Tuesday.

It sank to multimonth lows against the euro, pound, yen and Swiss franc. The euro rose to a 3-month high versus the dollar, rising above $1.32 for the first time since May 4.

When home values fall and people have less equity in their homes, they tend to cut back on spending.

Meanwhile, major homebuilder D.R. Horton Inc. said Tuesday it reversed a year-ago loss in its fiscal third quarter as homebuyers raced to close on purchases before the end of June to qualify for federal tax credits.

But with the credits now expired, new sale orders dipped 3 percent from the same quarter a year earlier.

“Market conditions in the homebuilding industry have become more challenging after the expiration of the tax credit,” Chairman Donald R. Horton said in a statement.

Workers at a GM assembly plant in Lordstown, Ohio, put the final touches on 2011 Chevrolet Cobalts in June.

GM sales rise 5 percent DETROIT (AP) – General Motors Co. said Tuesday U.S. sales of its cars and trucks rose slightly last month from a slower-thannormal June, a sign that consumers are still willing to spend on big-ticket items.

But the gains could be short-lived because shoppers are still anxious about slow economic growth and hiring.

GM’s sales rose 2.6 percent over June and 5 percent from July of last year, helped by promotions to make room for 2011 models.

GM says sales from its four brands – Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac – jumped 25 percent over July of 2009. Buick and Cadillac sales more than doubled. GM’s total sales include Pontiac, Saturn and Hummer, which are

brands it has sold or is discontinuing.

Newly launched models continue to propel GM’s sales, with the Chevrolet Camaro muscle car, Chevrolet Equinox crossover, Buick LaCrosse sedan and Cadillac SRX crossover showing strong increases, the company said.

Industry analysts expected buyers to respond to the usual model yearend promotions advertised in July.

“Consumers have been conditioned to think that the summer is a great time to pick up a deal on a new car,” Edmunds.com senior analyst Jessica Caldwell said.

Credit is also thawing, with auto loan approvals up for buyers in every tier.

GM announced last month that it would buy AmeriCredit Corp. in an effort to

expand loans to customers with poor credit and offer more leases.

But the market is still vulnerable. Auto sales have been recovering from a 30-year low in 2009, but the pace has been fitful, with month-to-month sales falling as often as they rose in the first six months of this year.

Most automakers saw sales fall from May to June as shoppers avoided showrooms due to economic worries. Americans’ confidence in the economy eroded further in July amid worries about a still-stagnant job market, according to a report issued last week by the private Conference Board.

J.D. Power revised its full-year industry sales downward last week, to 11.7 million vehicles from 11.8 million vehicles, cit-

ing the inconsistent recovery.

Automakers are also continuing to limit deals, which have hurt profits in the past. TrueCar.com estimated that incentive spending, at an average of $2,831 per vehicle, was down 1 percent industrywide from June.

Jeff Schuster, director of global forecasting at J.D. Power and Associates, said the sales pace dropped off in the last half of July, likely because of the lack of big incentives.

All automakers were expected to report U.S. July sales on Tuesday. Analysts expect the month to be one of the year’s strongest and better than last July, when the government started its Cash for Clunkers program to resuscitate depressed sales in the first half of last year.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Consumers did not boost their spending in June and their incomes failed to increase, further evidence that the economic recovery slowed in the spring.

And Americans saved at the highest rate in nearly a year.

Personal spending was unchanged in June, the Commerce Department reported Tuesday.

It was the third straight month of lackluster consumer demand. Incomes also were flat, the weakest showing in nine months.

The disappointing report on spending and income was among a raft of data released Tuesday that confirmed the economy ended the April-to-June quarter on a weak note.

Factory orders dropped 1.2 percent in June to a seasonally adjusted $406.4 billion, the Commerce Department said. It was the second consecutive decline after nine straight months of gains. Lower demand for steel, construction machinery and aircraft dragged down the figure.

And the number of buyers who signed contracts to purchase homes fell in June.

Last week the government said economic growth for the second quarter slowed to 2.4 percent. Many analysts believe it will dip further in the second half of the year as high unemployment, shaky consumer confidence and renewed troubles in housing weigh on the year-old economic recovery.

Rice farmers struggle to make ends meet LAFAYETTE, La. (AP) – Farmers are gearing up for the annual rice harvest, but low prices might make it difficult to turn a profit on this year’s crop.

It’s a stark contrast from last year, when rice farmers were enjoying record yields and strong market prices.

The Advertiser reports

farmers in Louisiana responded by planting more rice acreage than they had in more than a decade, only to see prices collapse in the spring.

Stuart Gauthier, Vermilion Parish agent for the LSU AgCenter, says for a lot of farmers, the price is below production costs.

While rice prices have slumped, Gauthier says fuel and fertilizer costs have climbed steadily during the years.

Maurice rice farmer Dane Hebert said farmers’ only hope is for rice prices to improve before this year’s crop is brought to market.

The Calabasas company was once the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest mortgage lender and was acquired by Bank of America Corp. in 2008.

The settlement would clear former executives and financial firms that underwrote Countrywide stock and were named in the class-action suits.

Former CEO Angelo Mozilo, former President David Sambol, former CFO Eric Sieracki and former board members were named in the litigation.

The company is being investigated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, which filed a lawsuit accusing Mozilo, Sambol and Sieracki of misleading investors.

The company and Mozilo are also under criminal investigation by the Justice Department and the attorneys general of California. Other states have also sued on behalf of borrowers.

P&G falls short as costs rise CINCINNATI (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Procter & Gamble Co.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fourth-quarter net income fell 12 percent, as the consumer products maker unleashed a company-record advertising blitz to promote new versions of Gillette shavers, Pampers diapers, Crest toothpaste and Pantene shampoo.

P&G said sales rose 5 percent and it projected more sales growth for the year ahead. However, sales were lower and the profit slide larger than Wall Street expected, and shares fell nearly 4 percent in Tuesday morning trading, off $2.38 to $59.68.

Already the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest advertiser, P&G pumped up ad spending by more than $1 billion in the past year, to $8.6 billion, which company officials said was its highest total yet.

Much of that went into recent innovations of some of its biggest brands, such as the June debut of Gillette Fusion ProGlide. It went to market at a suggested price of $10.99 for a handle and shaving head, 10 percent more than the previous Fusion, and P&G officials said Tuesday it became the market leader within two weeks.

Stocks fall on weak earnings reports NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The stock market put its big rally on hold Tuesday after disappointing earnings and economic reports reminded investors of the obstacles still facing the economy.

The Dow Jones industrial average fell 38 points after rising 208 Monday on brighter economic news.

All the major indexes fell moderately.

Investors were unhappy with just about every major earnings or economic report Tuesday. The stream of bad news was a reminder that the recovery is going to be bumpy and slow.

Traders are also uneasy ahead of the Labor Departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s July employment report due out Friday.

Dan Cook, a Chicagobased senior market analyst with the brokerage firm IG Markets, said many traders stayed out of the market while they waited for the employment report. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These severely choppy markets are scaring individual investors,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no way we can get them back in the game without getting the employment numbers up.â&#x20AC;?

Investors are also uneasy about two other labor market reports this week. Today, the payroll company ADP will release its count of the number of jobs created or lost at private employers in July, and on Thursday, the Labor Department issues its weekly report on the number of first-time unemployment filers.

Forecasters downgrade Tropical Storm Colin MIAMI (AP) โ Tropical Storm Colin has degenerated into a tropical low, but forecasters say it could still reform before hitting the U.S. Atlantic seaboard next week.

The National Hurricane Center in Miami says the remnants of Colin had maximum sustained winds near 40 mph Tuesday, which are comparable to those of a tropical storm. But the system lacks a defined center or the circular movement characteristic of a tropical storm.

Chef and owner Melissa Perello pours a glass of the house white wine after drawing it from a tap at her Frances restaurant in San Francisco. Customers pay $1 for each ounce they consume.

By the glass Restaurants uncork more wines for single servings

BY MICHELLE LOCKE FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

On the web...

----

S

AN FRANCISCO – Ordering wine by the glass used to mean scant choices and bland options. And only your tastebuds would tell you how long the wine had languished in an open bottle.

That’s changed, with restaurants amping up the volume on what’s available by the glass and making sure that the wines poured are at optimal freshness.

“It’s one of the most exciting times to be drinking wines by the glass,” said Talia Baiocchi, U.S. wine editor at winechap. com, who recently researched and profiled wine-by-the-glass programs at 30 New York City restaurants.

Why is wine breaking through the glass (serving) ceiling?

Reasons range from the economy – who has the wherewithal to spring for a bottle these days? – to an increasingly educated public not content with ordering the traditional “house red, house white,” as well as new serving systems that keep wine fresher longer.

The result: “Restaurants have gone from being safe to being experimental,” said Baiocchi. “It wasn’t a place for the sommelier to necessarily show off their personality, which I think now it is.”

Take the Prohibition-Speakeasy Wine Club in Healdsburg, which offers about 30 wines by the glass, rotating the wines regularly and including “cult” favorites such as vintages from Sonoma County’s Williams-Selyem winery.

The club is physically inviting, guests enter the bar by going into a phone booth and picking up the phone, which opens the bar’s “secret” door. But owner Richard Rosenberg says the wines are the real attraction.

“The public has become more interested in different wines and different producers of different varietals and there are more varietals available than there have been in the past. That’s the intrigue and that’s what the big draw is.”

Prohibition uses a Cruvinet system which can handle up to 16 bottles at a time, keeping the wine fresh for up to 40 days.

A pitcher etched with one-ounce markings is filled from a tap at the Frances restaurant in San Francisco.

Other restaurants are going to systems that can serve wine on tap, similar to beer delivery systems.

Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants, which has 55 restaurants and bars across the country, has launched a new Wine On Tap program. Emily Wines, master sommelier and director of wines at Kimpton Restaurants, (yes, her name is wildly apt for the job) is leading the draft wine program through a partnership with Free Flow Wines.

The idea is to provide fresh wine by the glass, strengthen relationships with local vineyards and reduce waste. No bottles,

no corks, just refillable kegs, generally made of stainless steel or food-grade plastic, that use a mixture of argon and nitrogen gas to push the wine out.

“Every glass that we pour is just as fresh as the first one,” said Wines.

It’s a learning experience all around.

Winemakers have been coming by restaurants to see how the wine is tasting and wait staff also are being educated on how to explain the wines. The idea is so new that in some cases winery officials have been dropping off and picking up the kegs themselves.

Among the winemakers working with Kimpton is Paul Dolan of Paul Dolan Vineyards in Mendocino County.

“The kegs are just amazingly fantastic,” says Dolan, a longtime supporter of eco-friendly winemaking and growing practices.

At Frances restaurant in San Francisco, two wines are served on tap, with the blends, one red, one white, supervised by beverage director Paul Einbund, who works with nearby wineries to create the finished product.

Using a keg system means he can adjust the blend for the seasons, richer and heavier in the winter, lighter and crisper in the summer, as well as the elimination of having to recycle bottles and corks.

Customers get the wine in pitchers etched with measuring marks and are charged $1 an ounce. Which fits the restaurant’s goal of serving as a neighborhood hangout as well as a destination restaurant.

Einbund, who previously worked at a 2-Michelin star restaurant, jokes that he’s “super snob sommelier boy,” but “I am so excited to have a wine that’s a buck an ounce that is delicious.”

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

Her pretty smile, big eyes and insatiable desire to marry Sheriff Andy Taylor have made “Charlene Darling” a heartthrob for men since the 1960s.

And many recall the words to “Salty Dog,” her signature song.

Known in real life as Maggie Peterson Mancuso, “Charlene” will be performing along with the Rodney Dillard Band and the Mayberry Tribute Artists on Saturday at the James Garner Center in Troy.

Showtime is 7 p.m. Admission is $20 for reserved seating and $15 at the door.

Rodney Dillard was known as “Rodney Darling” on “The Andy Griffith Show.” His dad, brothers and sister “Charlene” lived in the hills and came to Mayberry for six episodes. Syndication of the show boosted the Darling family recognition and fame.

Saturday’s concert is a benefit for the Montgomery County Schools Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) program.

A silent auction fundraiser held during the show will feature a signed print by George Lindsay, better known as “Goober Pyle.”

Autograph sessions will be held throughout the show and cameras are allowed.

The James Garner Center is located on 211 Burnette St. Troy is located halfway between Asheboro and Albemarle on NC 24/27.

For more information, contact the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office at (910) 572-1313 or Jeff Branch at (704) 985-6987.

FAST DISCARD Cy succeeds by starting the hearts at Trick Two. If East won and continued diamonds, Cy would win and take the Q-J of hearts to pitch his last diamond.

He would lose a club, a heart and a trump.

Maybe that line of play was best, but it wasn’t guaranteed. I doubt that anyone could, with assurance, tell Cy how he should have played.

CROSSWORD

Wednesday, August 4, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Jeff Gordon, 39; Daniel Dae Kim, 42; Billy Bob Thornton, 55; Richard Belzer, 66 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: There will be a change in your financial picture that can go either way, depending on the way you handle the people around you and answer questions asked about your past.

Don’t be afraid to face your enemy and your supporters with unfiltered truthfulness. The outcome is in your hands, so rise to the occasion. Your numbers are 9, 12, 20, 26, 31, 34, 47 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Past experience will help you decide on business and personal partnerships. Get involved in new ventures and activities that allow you to meet people from different backgrounds. Don’t let emotions stand in the way of change. ★★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Strive for perfection. Share your plans and you will get the support you want and need. Romance is in the picture and time put aside to spend with someone you care for will enhance your relationship. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): An attraction to someone off- limits may jeopardize your job. Keep your desires to yourself. Your quick response to what others do and say will put you ahead of any competition, allowing you to please the people who count. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): You’ll face plenty of uncertainty but, if you are true to your word and you take care of your personal responsibilities first, you will have no regrets. It will take more than someone giving you a push to derail your plans. ★★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You may feel like helping out but, if someone is trying to take advantage of you, it’s best to back away and put your efforts elsewhere. Be prepared to make a move if that’s what will help you advance personally and financially. ★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Kids, friends and lovers will all play an important role in your life. Be willing to listen and assess each situation you face before making a commitment. It’s important to love what you do if you want to feel successful. ★★★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don’t be fooled by something that may not be as it appears. A promise isn’t likely to be fulfilled and may cost you emotionally and financially. If something appears to be questionable, move in the opposite direction quickly. ★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Added responsibilities may make you feel important but, at the end of the day, if you haven’t completed your own work, you will have regrets. Prepare to push back if someone tries to strong-arm you. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Making home improvements or changes to your lifestyle or the people you hang with will lead to a financial endeavor that will bring favorable results. Don’t let love stand in the way of your personal or professional progress. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’ll have a lot riding on your next move. Be prepared to do what you know is right and refuse to let an emotional situation cause you to make a mistake. Now is not the time to feel sorry for someone playing with your emotions. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A personal situation you want to address can be dealt with cordially if you pick and choose your words carefully. Be honest with others and you will not have to worry about someone coming back and asking questions that may leave you in a tight spot. ★★★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Don’t be afraid to put pressure on someone you want an answer from.

Showing your reluctance to be pushed around or ignored will make a statement that will help you in future negotiation. Don’t succumb to emotional blackmail. ★★

BRIDGE

Cy the Cynic is skeptical of people who profess to know what other people should do. Cy says that if it’s free, it’s advice; if it costs, it’s counseling; if it’s of any value, it’s a miracle.

Cy, declarer at four spades, adopted a simple line: He took the ace of diamonds and led a club to his queen. West produced the king and led another diamond, and Cy won, took the ace of clubs and ruffed a club in dummy.

The Cynic next let the jack of trumps ride. West won, and the defense cashed a diamond and a heart. Down one.

“Let me tell you how you should have played it,” said North, East and West all at once, as Cy rolled his eyes.

HOROSCOPE

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S A K 10 8 7 H 5 4 D 7 3 2 C A Q 5. Your partner opens one heart, you respond one spade and he bids 1NT. The opponents pass. What do you say?

ANSWER: To raise to 3NT might be a winning action, but since the hand contains strong spades and concentrated values in clubs, I’d pursue a spade contract. Jump to three clubs. If your partner bids 3NT, you’ll pass and wish him well, but if he returns to three spades, you’ll bid four spades.

North dealer Both sides vulnerable

ONE STAR: It’s best to avoid conflicts; work behind the scenes or read a good book. Two stars: You can accomplish but don’t rely on others for help. Three stars: If you focus, you will reach your goals. Four stars: You can pretty much do as you please, a good time to start new projects. Five stars: Nothing can stop you now.

Go for the gold.
