WASHINGTON — An Army in-vestigation has found that poten-tially hundreds of remains atArlington National Cemeteryhave been misidentified or mis-placed, in a scandal marring thereputation of the nation’s pre-eminent burial ground for itshonored dead since the CivilWar.
Army Secretary John McHughannounced Thursday that the
cemetery’s two civilian leaderswould be forced to step aside,and he appointed a new chief toconduct a more thorough inves-tigation to examine the gravesand sort out the mix-up.
“I deeply apologize to the fam-ilies of the honored fallen rest-ing in that hallowed ground whomay now question the care af-forded to their loved ones,”McHugh told a Pentagon newsconference.
Embarrassment at Arlington as remains misplacedAn Army
investiga-tion has

Cemeteryhave been

Associated Press See REMAINS/Page A2
Arlington NationalCemetery is consideredamong the nation’s mosthallowed burial sites, withmore than 300,000 peopleburied there with militaryhonors. An average of 30 fu-nerals are conducted thereevery day.
Among those buried atthe cemetery are troopskilled in Iraq andAfghanistan, as well serv-ice members from past con-flicts dating back to theCivil War.
Famous presidents andtheir spouses, includingmembers of the Kennedyfamily, also have beenburied there. The ceme-tery, located across the Po-tomac River fromWashington in northernVirginia, attracts more than4 million visitors annually.
An Army investigationwas launched last yearafter reports of employeemisconduct, first reportedby the Web site Salon.com.
Led by the service’s in-spector general, Lt. Gen.Steven Whitcomb, the in-vestigation found lax man-agement of the cemetery,where employees relied onpaper records to managethe dozens of burials eachweek and maintain thethousands of existinggravesites.
Whitcomb said at least211 remains were identi-fied as potentially misla-beled or misplaced andthat there could be more.
“We found nothing thatwas intentional, criminalintent or intended sloppi-ness that caused this. ... Butof all the things in theworld, we see this as a zerodefect operation,” he toldreporters Thursday.
Whitcomb could not sayhow old the mixed-up re-mains might be or fromwhat conflict, saying onlythat the problem had beenconfined to three areas ofthe cemetery known as sec-tions 59, 65 and 66.
Whitcomb said he didfind two cases of mis-marked graves in section60, the area for veteransfrom Iraq and Afghanistan.He said those mistakes hadbeen corrected.
Dorothy Nolte, 68, ofBurns, Tenn., said shelearned last year that theremains of her sister, AirForce Master Sgt. MarionGrabe, who had beenburied at Arlington inMarch 2008, had beenmoved to a new grave site.Nolte said she went to Ar-lington to find out that hersister’s urn had beenburied on top of anothersoldier, but then it was dis-interred and moved to an-other grave site. She saidshe had not been informedof the transfer.
“I made them unearththe urn so I could see thename,” Nolte said in aphone interview Thursdayfrom New York. “I havepeace knowing my sister isindeed in the right place.”
As for the Army investi-gation, “I think that it’s agood thing that the truth iscoming out, and it’s cer-tainly a situation thatneeds to be rectified,” shesaid.
Separately, the Army isinvestigating whether thecemetery’s deputy superin-tendent, Thurman Higgin-botham, made falsestatements to service in-vestigators. Higginbotham,
who ran the day-to-day op-erations at the cemetery,has been accused by for-mer employees of creatinga hostile work environmentand breaking into their e-mail systems.
Higginbotham is on ad-ministrative leave, pendingfurther review.
According to a defenseofficial familiar with thecase, who discussed the de-tails on condition ofanonymity, Higginbothamwon’t face criminal chargesbecause of a lack of evi-dence. But, the officialsaid, the Army will ensurehe never works at thecemetery again.
The official wasn’t au-thorized to speak publiclyabout the case because it isongoing.
Higginbotham’s boss,John Metzler, is set to retireon July 2. Service officials
say he is being pushed outwith a letter of reprimandthat blames him for failingto rein in Higginbotham’smistakes.
Taking their place will beKathryn Condon, a formercivilian head of Army Ma-teriel Command who as ex-ecutive director will incharge of fixing any burialerrors. Patrick Hallinan, adirector with the VeteransAffairs Department, is tem-porarily being assigned asthe cemetery’s superinten-dent.
McHugh also announcedthe creation of an inde-pendent advisory commis-sion that will be led byformer senators and Armyveterans Max Cleland andBob Dole.
Family members withquestions are urged to callthe cemetery at (703) 607-8000.
After securing Hendry inhandcuffs and reading thesearch warrant, the detec-tive reportedly saw a pictureof a girl about 11 years of ageclothed on Hendry’s com-puter in a cheerleading pose.
Once Hendry was readhis rights, he is reported to
have admitted to deputiesthat he was downloadingchild pornography fileswhen they walked up.
According to the report,Hendry said he knew it wasillegal to download the filesand told deputies he had beendownloading the files for thepast couple of years. Oncehe was done viewing the files,Hendry reportedly said hewould delete them from thecomputer so his wife didn’t
see them and because he knewit was illegal to have them.
A site preview of Hendry’scomputer revealed he wasin possession of more than20 images of child pornog-raphy, his arrest report stated.
Authorities charged Hendrywith one count of know-ingly promoting the sexualperformance of a child and20 counts of knowingly pos-sessing photos/videos/etc.of sexual conduct by a child.

PENSACOLA BEACH — Florida’sattorney general demanded Thurs-day an immediate $2.5 billion escrowpayment from oil giant BP PLC fordamages from the massive gulf spill,citing a report that says it will seri-ously harm the state’s economy.
Bill McCollum cited a Universityof Central Florida report that saysthe state could suffer $2.2 billion inlosses and see a sharp rise in un-employment because of the spill.The state’s annual economy isworth about $600 billion and unem-ployment rate is 12 percent.
BP didn’t immediately return a
call seeking comment. The spillbegan April 20 when a BP oil rig offthe Louisiana coast, killing 11 work-ers and unleashing an underwatergusher that is spewing between600,000 gallons and 1.8 million gal-lons into the gulf daily. Tar balls andother oil began washing ashorealong the western Panhandle lastweekend.
Meanwhile, Escambia CountyCommissioners held an emergencymeeting Thursday and approved$700,000 to salvage tourism busi-nesses on Perdido Key and Pen-sacola Beach.
Outside the commission meeting,about two dozen grizzled commer-cial fishermen and charter cap-tains, some in fishing waders,walked silently in a circle carryingsigns chastising BP.
“BP: Broken promises,” read onesign. “Victim of Oil,” read another.Another marked the date Aug. 14,1559, when Don Tristan De Luna y
Arellano landed in Pensacola Bayand formed the first Spanish settle-ment, as the start of Pensacola fish-ing and April 20, 2010, as the day itended.
Dennis Miller, 60, said he hasfished since 1963 and recentlyworked on charter boats. He saidthe men are frustrated becausethere is nothing to do.
“We’re just worried,” Miller said.“We’re trying to figure out whatwe’re going to do when they shutthe whole Gulf down. And we knowthat’s coming.”
Derek Astley, a chef at the FourSeasons restaurant across thestreet, came outside in his uniform,shook Miller’s hand and wishedhim good luck.
“Your industry affects our indus-try,” Astley said. “We’re all in this to-gether.”
Passing cars honked their sup-port. Inside the county building,fears and frustration grew.
County emergency crews and en-vironmental specialists told com-missioners heavier oil and tar ballswere expect on Friday and throughthe weekend.
The oil sheen had already begunbreaking through a booming systemshielding the Pensacola area’s in-land waterways. The county is rely-ing on the booms and 24-hourmonitoring by spotting crews to cor-ral the oil using skimming boats andkeep it from creeping inland whereit will be more difficult to clean.
The county has placed warningsigns on six miles of beach betweenthe Alabama state line and the GulfIslands Seashore National Parkwarning beachgoers not to swim orfish in the oiled waters.
Pensacola Beach-area businessowners told commissioners restau-rants, hotels, bars and other busi-nesses have been devastated byreports of tar on the city’s once-pris-tine beaches.

TALLAHASSEE — Naplesmillionaire businessmanRick Scott has surged into adouble-digit lead over Attor-ney General Bill McCollumin their race for the Republi-can nomination for governor,a poll released Thursdayshows.
The Quinnipiac (Conn.)University poll has Scottwith a 13-point lead overMcCollum, a career politi-cian whose campaign hasstruggled despite recent tel-evision ads featuring formerGov. Jeb Bush on his behalf.
Scott, a former chief exec-utive officer of the for-profithospital chain Colum-bia/HCA, was favored with44 percent to McCollum’s 31percent in a poll of 814likely Republican votersconducted June 2-8. Thesurvey has a margin of errorof plus or minus 3.4 per-centage points and is asnapshot of voter prefer-ences at the time they arepolled.
Scott told The AssociatedPress on Thursday thatmoving ahead in the pollwill only further motivatehim to stay on a messagethat apparently has res-onated with Republican vot-ers.
“My job is to continue totalk about what I believe inand let people know what Ibelieve in so when theyelect me they know whatthey have as their governor,”Scott said. “Our goal is tomake sure I have enoughmoney and raise enoughmoney to make sure ourmessage gets out.”
McCollum’s campaignwas still confident he couldovercome the poll deficit.
“As Florida voters learnmore about the real RickScott, his support will evap-orate,” McCollum campaignspokeswoman Kristy Camp-bell said.

The Chronicle regrets theerror.
she would rather have scal-lop season extended to Sept.30 instead, because a June15 start date doesn’t allowenough time to get the mes-sage out to potential visitors.
Scalloping is a majorcomponent of summertourism in Citrus County.
“Without question it’s thereason why our hotels, mo-tels and restaurants staybusy most of the summer onthe west side,” Chanceysaid.
An extra two weeks wouldgive tour operators a little
more time to reap the bene-fits of scallop season.
“I think it would be nice,”said Jake Johnson, owner ofNature Coast ManateeTours in Crystal River. “Ithink they should do that forus. It’s not like it’s going todeplete the scallops that arehere. I’ve wanted a longerseason for scallops anyway.”
Johnson said news of theoil spill might discouragesome customers from visit-ing, but he hasn’t had anycancellations yet.
“They get scared as soonas they hear oil ... I’ve hadpeople call and ask if oil’sgoing to affect their vacationin August. I just tell themright now we’re under no
threat.”Johnson said currents in
the Gulf of Mexico wouldlikely keep oil away fromthe Citrus County coastline.
“It’s common sense,” hesaid. “I don’t see it. I’m notafraid of it.”
Both Johnson andChancey say scalloping ac-tivities themselves won’t be
hindered by the oil spill.“I don’t think scallop sea-
son is going to be affected atall this year by what’s goingon,” Chancey said. “Thescallop population is ex-tremely healthy this year.All indicators are positivethat this is going to be a fan-tastic summer boatingrecreation season.”

■ Siefert encouraged at-tendance at the oil spillpublic workshop from 9 to10:30 a.m. Friday, June 18, atthe conference center of theCollege of Central Floridain Lecanto. He said it wouldbe attended by a represen-tative of Alex Sink, Florida’schief financial officer, to ad-vise people about filingclaims for economic dam-ages.
■ Gary Maidhof, opera-tions and projects officer forthe county, reported theprogress of the incentiveprogram committee, whichis examining the EDC’s cur-rent programs to help busi-nesses. The incentives helpwith job creation and utilityexpansion.
Maidhof said the programwas not integrated, and theapplications should bestreamlined so that an ap-plicant would not have toprovide the same informa-tion many times. He alsosaid the board should con-sider limits and caps onawards to help more busi-nesses.
The awards are for tar-geted industries, which in-clude manufacturing,agriculture, recycling, tech-nological development,medical and biomedical.
■ Maidhof said the trans-portation planning organi-zation agreement would besigned soon and its votingmembers would establishits bylaws.
■ Director Gail Oakesasked the EDC to supporther efforts to amend an or-dinance about the time al-cohol can be served inrestaurants on Sundays.
“It’s antiquated to have towait until 1 p.m.,” Oakessaid. “I can’t do a weddingon Sunday morning and doa champagne toast.”
Director Andy Houston,Crystal River city manager,said a restaurant that servesfood should be able to servealcohol.
The board agreed to sup-port Oakes.
■ Phil Geist, area directorfor the Small Business De-velopment Center, said thecenter is involved in a newprogram to help businessesimpacted by the oil spill,
whether physically or eco-nomically.
The government wouldprovide short-term loans ofup to $25,000 to small busi-nesses who have fewer than100 employees. The appli-cant would have to demon-strate economic injury.
The loan would be inter-est free for the first 12months. The interest rate
would be 12 percent for thenext six months and 18 per-cent thereafter.
“Florida First Capital Fi-nance Corporation is thepartner with the Small Busi-ness Development Centeron the technical assistancepart of the process,” Geistsaid.
The FFCFC is the state’slargest nonprofit certified
development company thatpromotes economic devel-opment and job creation.
Geist said the oil com-pany, BP, would have a rep-resentative in each officewhere claims would beprocessed.
“The applicant must firstapply to BP to get a claim
number. Then they would goto the Small Business Cen-ter for the disaster loan, andthen they can apply for anemergency bridge loan,”Geist said.
The process was set up tostop fraudulent claims,Geist said. He also said hewould attend a conference
later this month to designthe forms to file for the loans.
The applications will beavailable through the Gov-ernor’s Office of Tourism,Trade and Economic Devel-opment. Its website iswww.flgov.com/otted_home,and its phone number is(850) 487-2568.

WASHINGTON — Houseand Senate lawmakersbegan assembling a massivefinancial regulation bill onThursday, dividing sharplyalong partisan lines as De-mocrats vowed to fend offefforts to weaken its majorprovisions.
“This is a very strong billand it is time we get it to thepresident’s desk for his sig-nature,” Senate BankingCommittee ChairmanChristopher Dodd said,kicking off a meeting of law-makers selected to blendHouse and Senate versionsinto one bill.
Such a House-Senatepanel, called a conferencecommittee, is a relativelyrare occurrence in Con-gress. Though it is the text-book means of reconcilingcompeting bills, congres-
sional leaders in recentyears generally have by-passed conferences andworked out legislative dif-ferences in private.
With Democrats aiming towrap up their work beforethe end of the month, banks,retailers, consumer groups— even car dealers — allmustered a final lobbyingthrust to influence the 1,900-page legislation.
The Obama administra-tion, meanwhile, looked forquick completion of the bill,eager to have a House-Sen-ate agreement in time forPresident Barack Obama’strip to Toronto later thismonth to meet with theGroup of Twenty nations.The world’s largesteconomies are working tocoordinate their financialregulatory schemes.
Expedience could runheadlong into a potentially
chaotic process. Rep. BarneyFrank, D-Mass., who willchair the conference com-mittee, promised efficiency.
“I will put forward onequalification for this job —my impatience,” he joked. “Ithink it will serve us all verywell.”
The far-reaching regulatorybills aim to prevent a recur-rence of the financial crisisthat precipitated the 2008recession, from which thecountry is only now recovering.
The bills would allow reg-ulators to liquidate large,failing financial companies,create a new consumer pro-tection entity to safeguardborrowers and impose newregulations over complexsecurities that had previouslytraded in shadow markets.
Republicans cast the billas an overreaching effort tocontrol the private market-place and complained that
Democrats failed to includeany regulation on the giant,government affiliated mort-gage companies Fannie Maeand Freddie Mac.
“The American economywill once again become thelaboratory for anothergrand Democrat experi-ment in big government andcentral management,” Sen.Richard Shelby, R-Ala., said.
Much of what ends up inthe final bill will still be ne-gotiated behind closeddoors, mainly by Democrats.But Dodd and Frank vowedto hold public votes on finalchanges in the legislation.
From the outset, though,House and Senate Democ-rats privately worked outthe base bill, relying mainlyon the Senate-passed ver-sion, adding technicalchanges and incorporatingsome provisions from theHouse bill. None of the
changes affected the centralelements of the legislation.
Still, Shelby complainedthat that House-Senateagreement came with noRepublican participation.
“It appears we’re off to arocky start,” he said.
Frank later gave a boost toa Senate-passed provisionto limit the fees merchantspay to banks and credit cardnetworks when customerspay for goods or services withdebit cards. Led by creditunions and community banks,the financial industry hasbeen lobbying heavilyagainst the measure, whichpassed the Senate 64-33.
“With that very strongvote in the Senate, I don’tthink the House will try toresist that,” Frank said,adding, though, that the pro-vision could be modified.
One of the key issues facingthe conference is a tough
provision that would forcebanks to spin off their lucra-tive derivatives business. Itsleading proponent is Sen.Blanche Lincoln, D-Ark., amember of the conference.
Obama administration of-ficials and a number ofbanking regulators say Lin-coln’s provision goes too far.But on Thursday Lincolndelivered a strong defenseof her proposal, which pri-marily would strike at thenation’s largest financial in-stitutions, including Gold-man Sachs and other firmsthat dominate Wall Street.
“It is this economic activ-ity that contributed to theseinstitutions growing so largethat taxpayers had no choicebut to bail them out to pre-vent total economic ruin,”she said. “This provisionmakes clear that derivativesdealing is not central to thebusiness of banking.”
Congress begins merging financial overhaul bills

WASHINGTON — About5,500 years ago, someone inthe mountains of Armeniaput his best foot forward inwhat is now the oldestleather shoe ever found.
It’ll never be confusedwith a penny loafer or atrack shoe, but the well-pre-served footwear was madeof a single piece of leather,laced up the front and back,researchers reportedWednesday in PLoS One, ajournal of the Public Li-brary of Science.
Worn and shaped by thewearer’s right foot, the shoewas found in a cave alongwith other evidence ofhuman occupation. Theshoe had been stuffed withgrass, which dated to thesame time as the leather ofthe shoe — between 5,637and 5,387 years ago.
“This is great luck,” en-thused archaeologist RonPinhasi of University Col-lege Cork in Cork, Ireland,
who led the research team.“We normally only find
broken pots, but we havevery little information aboutthe day-to-day activity” ofthese ancient people. “Whatdid they eat? What did theydo? What did they wear?This is a chance to see this... it gives us a real glimpseinto society,” he said in atelephone interview.
Previously the oldestleather shoe discovered inEurope or Asia was on thefamous Otzi, the “Iceman”found frozen in the Alps afew years ago and now pre-served in Italy. Otzi has beendated to 5,375 and 5,128years ago. Otzi’s shoes weremade of deer and bearleather held together by aleather strap. The Armenianshoe appears to be made ofcowhide, Pinhasi said.
Older sandals have beenfound in a cave in Missouri,but those were made offiber rather than leather.
The shoe found in what isnow Armenia was found in
a pit, along with a broken potand some wild goat horns.
But Pinhasi doesn’t thinkit was thrown away. Therewas discarded material thathad been tossed outside thecave, while this pit was in-side in the living area.
The Armenian shoe wassmall by current standards— European size 37 or U.S.women’s size 7 — but mighthave fit a man of that era,according to Pinhasi.
He noted that the shoe issimilar to a type of footwearcommon in the Aran Is-lands, west of Ireland, upuntil the 1950s. The Irishversion, known as “pam-pooties” reportedly didn’tlast long, he said.
“In fact, enormous simi-larities exist between themanufacturing technique andstyle of this (Armenian) shoeand those found acrossEuropeat later periods, suggestingthat this type of shoe wasworn for thousands of yearsacross a large and environ-mentally diverse region.”

WASHINGTON — Fed-eral regulators on Thursdayput in place new rules aimedat preventing a repeat of lastmonth’s harrowing “flashcrash” in the stock market.
Members of the Securitiesand Exchange Commissionapproved the rules, whichcall for U.S. stock exchangesto briefly halt trading ofsome stocks that make bigswings.
The major exchanges willstart putting the tradingbreaks into effect as early astoday for six months. TheNew York Stock Exchangewill begin today’s tradingsession with five stocks: EOGResources Inc., GenuineParts Co., Harley DavidsonInc., Ryder System Inc. andZimmer Holdings Inc. Theexchange will gradually addother stocks early nextweek, expecting to reach byWednesday the full number
that will be covered.The Nasdaq stock market
plans to have the new pro-gram fully in place on Mon-day.
The plan for the “circuitbreakers” was worked outby the SEC and the majorexchanges following theMay 6 market plunge, whichsaw the Dow Jones industri-als lose nearly 1,000 pointsin less than a half-hour.
Under the new rules,trading of any Standard &Poor’s 500 stock that rises orfalls 10 percent or more in afive-minute period will behalted for five minutes. The“circuit breakers” would beapplied if the price swingoccurs between 9:45 a.m.and 3:35 p.m. Eastern time.
The idea is for the tradingpause to draw attention toan affected stock, establisha reasonable market priceand resume trading “in afair and orderly fashion,”the SEC said.

SEOUL, South Korea —A South Korean rocket car-rying a climate observationsatellite apparently ex-ploded 137 seconds into itsflight early Thursday, thecountry’s second majorspace setback in less than ayear.
The two-stage Narorocket operated normallyduring and after liftoff fromthe country’s space center,Minister of Education, Sci-ence and Technology AhnByong-man said. But thencommunications with therocket were lost after itreached an altitude ofabout 43 miles (70 kilome-ters).
“We believe that theNaro rocket is likely tohave exploded,” he told re-porters. “We are sorry forfailing to live up to people’sexpectations.”
An image from a cameraaboard the Naro bright-ened like a flash of light,possibly evidence of an ex-plosion, Ahn said.
He said South Koreanand Russian experts weretrying to find the cause ofthe mishap. The first stageof the rocket was designedand built by Russia and thesecond by South Korea.
Ahn said that SouthKorea will begin prepara-tions to announce a newlaunch date as soon as theorigin of the problem is de-termined.
Ministry spokesmanPyun Kyung-bum said thatdebris from the rocket isbelieved to have fallen intothe sea some 292 milessouth of Oenaro Island,which is home to the spacecenter.
The blastoff at the coastalspace center in Goheung,290 miles south of Seoul,was the country’s secondlaunch of a rocket from itsown territory. In the first at-tempt last August, the satel-lite failed to reach orbitbecause one of its two cov-ers apparently failed tocome off after liftoff. Therocket on which it was car-ried functioned normally,so South Korea saw thatlaunch as a partial success.
Since 1992, South Koreahas launched 11 satellitesfrom overseas sites, all onforeign-made rockets.
The launch was origi-nally scheduled forWednesday, but was de-layed a day because fire re-tardant suddenly sprayedfrom three nozzles set upnear the launch pad to ex-tinguish any blaze.
South Korea wants to puta satellite into orbit to studyglobal warming and cli-mate change.
South Koreans are in-tensely proud of their coun-
try’s rise from devastationand poverty after the end ofthe Korean War, as well astheir reputation for ad-vanced technology andwere closely observing thelaunch. About 100 peoplewatched it on big screentelevisions at Seoul’s mainrailway station. People ap-plauded when the rocketblasted off, though themood turned anxious afterthe first news of a problem.
“I’m disappointed be-cause maybe this tells methat Korea doesn’t have theright technology yet,” saidYoon Ho-soo, a writer whowas sitting in front of a cen-tral Seoul subway stationThursday night.
South Korea’s Ministryof Education, Science andTechnology, which over-sees the space program,says South Korea plans todevelop a space launch ve-hicle with its own technol-ogy by 2020.
China, Japan and Indiaare Asia’s current spacepowers. Japan haslaunched numerous satel-lites while China sent itsfirst astronaut into space in2003 and carried out itsfirst spacewalk in 2008.
India launched a satel-lite into moon orbit in 2008,but had to abandon itnearly a year later aftercommunication linkssnapped and scientists lostcontrol of it.
Despite the series ofproblems, South Koreawasn’t about to give up onspace.
President Lee Myung-bak urged the country’sspace engineers and ex-perts to avoid feeling frus-trated over the setback andaim for success next time.
“Though it’s regrettable,much more can be learnedthrough failure,” he said incomments posted on thepresidential website.

BRUSSELS — The European Union’stop energy official set out tough standardsfor producing biofuels sold in the EU, de-manding producers meet strict environ-mental criteria.
EU Energy Commissioner Guenther Oet-tinger put forward the world’s “most strin-gent” certification regime to make “sureour biofuels meet the highest environmen-tal standards.” Biofuel makers must provethey do not create greenhouse gas emis-sions or destroy forests or wetlands.
The rules take effect immediately.They foresee a regime of certificates to
guarantee that all biofuels — whethergrown in the 27-nation European Union orimported — are sustainably produced onland already used for farming in early2008.
Production must be independently mon-itored to see how much fertilizer is used togrow the crop, how much to process it intofuel and how much to transport it to themarket.
Only biofuels that represent at least a 35percent saving in greenhouse gas use com-pared to oil or diesel would be allowedand would get financial help from govern-ments, such as low taxes or direct pay-ments to suppliers.
The European Commission says it couldrevoke the certificates at any time biofuelsuppliers are not providing truthful infor-mation.
About 26 percent of biodiesel and 31
percent of bioethanol used in the EU in2007 was imported — mostly from Braziland the United States.
Environmental groups took a dim viewof the plan.
They said it will not tackle the mostacute problem: that the move toward morebiomass production drives deforestation,damages the environment, creates green-house gas emissions and encourages land-grabbing in Asia and South America.
The EU has set a target that by 2020 atleast 10 percent of transport fuel comesfrom biofuels — up from 3.4 percent in2008 and 0.5 percent in 2003.
Biofuels are mostly bioethanol madefrom sugar and cereals and biodiesel fromvegetable oils.
“Europe’s policy on biofuels is inher-ently unsustainable,” said Adrian Bebb,food and agriculture campaign coordina-tor for Friends of the Earth Europe.
“The EU should abandon this folly andinvest in genuine energy reductions in thetransport sector.”
The environmental group Greenpeacesaid the certification scheme does nothingabout the displacement of agriculture thathappens when farmers move crops or cat-tle ranching elsewhere to make room forbiofuels for EU clients.
To make sure most of its biofuel reducesreal greenhouse gas emissions, the Euro-pean Commission will create a system tocalculate how much greenhouse gas isused to produce and transport the fueluntil it arrives at the gas pump.

Stocks surge on U.S. jobsdata, China trade growth
Associated Press
NEW YORK — Investorshave sent the Dow Jones in-dustrials back above 10,000after a stream of upbeateconomic news convincedthem that maybe thingsaren’t so bad after all.
The Labor Departmentsaid new claims for unem-ployment fell by 3,000 to aseasonally adjusted456,000. While that figurefell short of economists’forecast, investors wereheartened by figures show-ing total claims last weekdropped by the largestamount in almost a year.Total unemployment bene-fit rolls fell by 255,000 to 4.5million.
The Dow rose 273 pointsto 10,172. All the major in-dexes climbed more than2.5 percent. Falling Treas-ury prices pushed interestrates higher as demand forsafe investments eased.
Energy stocks led themarket higher after theyslid in Wednesday’s latetrading on concerns that BPwould be forced to cut itsdividend because of theGulf of Mexico oil spill. BProse 12.3 percent from a 14-year low, while AnadarkoPetroleum Corp., which hasa minority stake in the rigthat caused the spill, rose12.4 percent.
Most bank stocks rose butGoldman Sachs Group Inc.fell 2.2 percent to its lowest
level in a year followingnews reports that it was thetarget of another investiga-tion by the Securities andExchange Commission. TheSEC has already filed civilfraud charges against thecompany.
Investors have poundedstocks for more than amonth because of concernsthat Europe’s sovereigndebt crisis would slow a re-bound worldwide. Thurs-day’s advance was thelatest swing in market thathas been volatile for weeks,including three late-dayslides in the past four days.
Markets around the worldrose after China said ex-ports rose 48.5 percent inMay, while imports jumped48.3 percent. The increasein trade provides some re-lief to fears that debt prob-lems in Europe would halta global economic recovery.The 27-nation EuropeanUnion is China’s largesttrading partner.

‘Chevy’ is asgood as
‘Chevrolet,’GM saysAssociated Press
DETROIT — Relax,Chevrolet fanatics. Turnsout you can take your“Chevy to the levee” or anyother darn place you please.
General Motors Co. onThursday backed off what itcalled a “poorly worded” in-ternal memo that asked em-ployees to refer to the brandonly as “Chevrolet” insteadof its long-standing andwell-known nickname.
GM said in a statementthat it “in no way” is dis-couraging anybody fromusing the name Chevy. Theinternal memo was part ofan effort to develop a consis-tent brand name as it tries tobroaden its global presence.
“We hope people aroundthe world will continue tofall in love with Chevroletsand smile when they calltheir favorite car, truck orcrossover ‘Chevy,’” the state-ment said.
GM said the originalmemo, obtained by TheNew York Times, spurredan “emotional debate” thatreverberated on socialmedia networks and web-sites Thursday.

Grow, baby, growIt is time we Americans take a
good look around us.Between farm crops, wind and
sun, we can wean our countryfrom its oil dependency.
American farmers can growenough crops to fill our tankswith ethanol and vegetable oils,that is, until big oil got its patent.
T. Boone Pickens is a smartAmerican patriot. He is correctwhen he says we have enoughnatural gas to run our trucks andbuses for many years to come.We do not need foreign oil. Thegreat side effect of the above:American money would stay inAmerica to improve our econ-omy and jobs.
Another of Mr. Pickens’ ideasis wind power for energy. Everyday I look out my window andsee the wind blowing in thetrees. This wind could generateenough power to supply myhome with electric, air and heat.Again, another way to keepAmerican money in America tocreate jobs for our young people.
Let’s take another look atethanol. It started to take off acouple of years ago. Then thebig oil rumor mill took off say-ing, “We can’t make enoughethanol!” It will make the priceof your corn flakes go up.France uses a lot of ethanol.They produce it from sugarbeets. Brazil also produces theirethanol from sugar cane. OurU.S. farmers can grow all ofthese crops and more.
I personally would rather paya U.S. farmer for a gallon of hisethanol than pay the sheik ofArabia for a gallon of his oil.Again, another way to keepAmerican money in Americaand create jobs.

Irresponsible and wrongNearly a month of back issues
of the Chronicle awaited meupon my return from northernNew England. Dr. WilliamDixon’s May 9 column, “Everyenergy source has its draw-backs,” got my attention. I washeartsick to read Dixon’s viewthat the BP disaster “is morelike a cut on one’s finger.” Thisstruck me as an irresponsible re-mark coming from someone whosupposedly has an education.His overriding theme is to con-tinue to drill because it createsjobs. He never once states howmany thousands of people arelosing their livelihoods inLouisiana and possibly otherbordering states. Odd that Dixonhad nothing to say about the 11people who lost their lives onthe burning oil rig, or the hugeamount of wildlife that will dieas a result of this catastrophe.
What is more frightening isthe strong possibility that cur-rents could carry this spillaround the Keys and carry theoil deposits as far north as CapeHatteras. Dixon claims all iswell on the Alaskan beaches. Ob-vious he hasn’t visited PrinceWilliam Sound. Recent photo-graphs show rocks still coveredwith oil after 20 years. This iswhat the Gulf states can expectfor the next two decades. Revul-sion and disgust are the feelingsI hold for these irresponsiblecomments. Dixon’s past recordson most subjects are contrary tological thinking. The Chronicleholds some responsibility forgiving Dixon a platform to makeweekly inane and uninformedremarks.

Deed dealA better deal for the county
would be for Tamposi to deedover his existing “private” streetto the county for $1, provided thecounty would accept the respon-sibility of repairs, maintenanceand repaving. To my knowledge,it has been the accepted prac-tice for the developer to deedover the private roads that bene-fit both the community and thecounty.
Our small community has aprivate street that we have torepave at our expense in spite ofthe fact that many outsiders per-sist in using our roads as a short-cut. We’d be glad to deed overour roads to the county for $1 oreven 50 cents to relieve us of theexpenses of repaving them. I betthere are other private commu-nities that would gladly do thesame!

Vice President Joe Bidenrepeated as recently aslast month that the admin-
istration is keeping to its sched-uled promise to remove allcombat troops from Iraq by theend of August. Even though vio-lence is on the increase and theIraqis have not yet made the nec-essary compromises among therival political parties to create agovernment, the U.S. commit-ment to leave the country will behonored.
A contingent of troops will re-main to guard the embassy inBaghdad and other U.S. facilitiesin the country. This so-calledpalace guard will provide adviceand assistance when needed, butwill not participate in combat op-erations. Once the front-linetroops are gone from Iraq, thewar is over as far as America isconcerned. What did we accom-plish? The short answer, unfortu-nately, is not much.
Here’s the ledger as we see it.U.S. troops succeeded in remov-ing Saddam from power, butfailed to keep the peace in theimmediate aftermath of hisdownfall. The power vacuum cre-ated by the absence of a brutalleader allowed an ethnic struggleto erupt, revealing how little U.S.policymakers understood aboutIraq and the blood feuds that shapethe country’s culture and politics.
Americans learned you can’t
disrupt cultural ties that go backcenturies with “shock and awe,”and that military force can’t re-place political accommodation.Eight years after the U.S. inva-sion that deposed Saddam, Iraqteeters on the edge of civil war.The ruling Shia government isfighting to stay in power, and theSunnis, the minority ethnicgroup, are still threatening totake up arms if their rights arenot sufficiently guaranteed.
The U.S. invasion interruptedthe flow of oil from Iraq, whichwe were told was going to pay forthe war. This should have madeAmericans more wary about rely-ing on the Middle East for such avaluable resource. We apparentlylearned little about developingalternative sources of energy, orwe wouldn’t be in such a fix todaywith the BP oil spill in the Gulfthreatening the ecology of a re-gion and the lifeblood of its people.
The Bush administration arguedthat regime change was needed inIraq to stabilize the region. Sad-dam was a threat to his neighbors,and if he had nuclear weapons,as he claimed, the terror that hecould inflict on the entire regionwas reason enough to go to war.
Of course we learned that Sad-dam did not have nuclearweapons, and just used the threatof them to keep his enemies offguard. The story has been re-counted many times over about
how intelligence was cherrypicked and the administrationused fear of a mushroom cloud toadvance its ideological goals. Theend result is America waged a warof choice that political leadersportrayed as a war of necessity.
Backers of the war who want tojustify the cost in both lives andmoney point to Iraq as a muchneeded democratic ally in theMiddle East. The extent of Iraq’sdemocracy is still to be deter-mined, as is its geo-political alle-giance. The current primeminister of Iraq, Nouri al-Maliki,has welcomed closer ties withIran, where he lived for eightyears when he was in exile fromIraq. It’s understandable that Ma-liki would want good relationswith a country on his border, butit’s not what U.S. policymakershad in mind when they launchedthe Iraq War. The goal was to cre-ate a strengthened Iraq that wouldserve as a counterweight to Iran.Instead, America’s actions havebrought the governments of Iraqand Iran closer together thanthey had been for decades, creat-ing bonds that should make theObama administration, indeedall of us, very nervous.

Small donationsa big investmentFrom the Civil War to cur-
rent conflicts, the CitrusCounty Fallen Heroes
Monument was designed topreserve the names of countyresidents who have paid forAmerican freedom with theirlives, preservingtheir legacy ofsacrifice.
These namesare inscribed onthe black graniteobelisk in Bicen-tennial Park inCrystal River. It isthe only monu-ment in CitrusCounty to honorcounty residentskilled in militaryservice during atime of war.
Original sup-porters of build-ing the monumentincluded the latePete DeRosa andmany Rotarians.Names of otherdonors appear onthe base of theobelisk. The Cit-rus County Commission ap-proved the project and in 2003,the monument was constructedwith private donations. Thenthe group that had beenformed to see the monumentbuilt dissolved, believing itstask was completed.
Later, the county, some localveterans and others worked toreestablish a community-based
organization to help maintainthe monument. Apparentlysome skateboarders have usedit and the wheels have createdsome jagged edges along thetop of the base that supportsthe obelisk, so some of the
granite tiles needto be replaced.And as unthink-able as it seems,in the past themonument hasbeen vandalized.
While thecounty maintainsthe landscaping,keeping the mon-ument looking asit should is a re-sponsibility we allshare. Since late2008, a new boardof directors forthe re-incorporatedCitrus CountyFallen HeroesMonument Inc.has been meetingmonthly to focuson a plan to sup-port the monu-ment’s upkeep.
That is why the organiza-tion’s leaders have asked everyperson in the county to donate$1. It is important to have a re-serve fund to replace brokentiles and repair other damageover time. Preserving its ap-pearance is an important wayto show that the sacrifice thesesoldiers made will never beforgotten.

Hot Corner: OIL SPILLNo paddle
I have not seen any really goodand efficient skimmer rigs out onthe Gulf. I see lots of booms outin the Gulf of Mexico, but theyhold oil back but do not removethe oil. The oil companies that arein the Gulf should have big skim-ming boats or barges that pick upoil, like the paper industry uses toskim paper pulp out of beaters.The U.S. Environmental (Protec-tion) Agency should have themalso. These skimmers would workon red tide also. I have a designfor a skimmer.
Begin punishmentI think it’s time BP be fined an
awful lot of money for whatthey’ve done. I used to have aGulf station that was part of BP.They did away with the best gasthey had – the Gulfcrest – andwent with what they called theGulftane. I called it “Watertane.” Igave up my gas station becauseafter I started using that Gulftane,I had to overhaul my car andsome other cars for people, andthat’s crazy. They should havebeen outlawed and gone out ofbusiness 20 or 30 years ago.That’s they way I feel.
Potent protestsI was calling in about the peo-
ple who are boycotting BP gasstations. I really think it shows adisconnect between people’s feel-ing of responsibility for the oilspill and trying to put the blameon a corporation. Although I feelthat BP is somewhat to blame inthis accident, what people reallyneed to do if they want to dosomething about oil usage, is tocar pool, to ride bicycles, tomaybe put some solar panels onthe roofs of their homes and actu-ally curtail their consumption offossil fuels, if at all possible, andthat would have the most great-est, good effect.

LOS ANGELES — A 16-year-old Southern California girl at-tempting a solo sail around theworld was feared in troubleThursday, thousands of milesfrom land in the frigid, heavingsouthern Indian Ocean after heremergency beacons began signal-ing and satellite phone commu-nication was lost.
An international effort to res-cue young Abby Sunderlandbegan, but the vast distancesmeant long hours of waiting forher family and support team,which expressed confidence thatshe was alive because the bea-cons were deliberately turned onrather than set off automatically.
“She’s got all the skills sheneeds to take care of what shehas to take care of; she has all theequipment as well,” said brotherZac, himself a veteran of a solosail around the world at age 17.
Australian Maritime Safety Au-thority spokeswoman Carly Lusksaid three vessels were sent fromthe French territory of ReunionIsland and an aircraft was dis-patched from Perth early thismorning on a four-hour flight toAbby’s location more than 2,000miles from both Africa and Aus-tralia.
It was not clear when the sur-face vessels left, but it would takea day for the nearest ship to reachthe area. Reunion Island is offMadagascar, the very large islandalong the east coast of Africa.
Support team member JeffCasher said the two emergencybeacons were continuing to broad-cast and GPS location data showedthey were together and drifting at 1mph. He believed the beaconswere on Abby’s boat but said theycould be with her on a raft.
Casher offered several scenar-ios: The boat may have flippedover and Abby could still be in-side; the boat’s mast may havebeen damaged; or she was in-jured and could not pilot theboat. He said that if the boatflipped, the hull would preventher from calling from her satel-lite phone.
Conditions can quickly becomeperilous for any sailor exposed tothe elements in that part of theworld.
“We’ve got to get a plane outthere quick,” said familyspokesman Christian Pinkston,adding that the teen’s family inThousand Oaks was asking forprayers for her safety.
Her brother said Abby was pre-pared and mentally tough. “I re-ally wish I could see her andhope she gets through this one,”he told reporters outside the fam-ily home.
Abby last communicated withher family at 4 a.m. PDT Thursdayand reported 30-foot swells butwas not in distress, Pinkston said.
Casher said Abby had to makerepeated calls with her Iridiumsatellite phone because ofsketchy connections. He said shehad been in rough weather andhad a problem with her engine,which she eventually managed tostart. The team then asked her tocheck other things on the boat.
“She hung up to go check somethings and she never did callback,” he said.
An hour later the family wasnotified that her emergency bea-cons had been activated, andthere was no further communica-tion. Her brother said the boat
was most likely not completelysubmerged because another bea-con would be triggered at a depthof 15 feet.
Derrick Fries, a U.S. sailing in-struction and safety expert, saidAbby’s circumstances were veryunclear.
“It’s hard to determine if she’srolled over, swamped, or washedoverboard. She has to have a drysuit on to have any chance,” hesaid. “To be capsized in the mid-dle of the ocean with wavescrashing relentlessly down, notjust for hours, but days, I can’t tellyou how difficult those condi-tions are.”
A lifelong sailor whose father isa shipwright and has a yachtmanagement company, Abby setsail from Los Angeles County’s
Marina del Rey in her 40-footboat, Wild Eyes, on Jan. 23 in anattempt to become the youngestperson to sail around the worldalone without stopping. Herbrother briefly held the record in2009.
Abby soon ran into equipmentproblems and had to stop for re-pairs. She gave up the goal of set-ting the record in April, butcontinued on.
Information on her websitesaid that as of June 8 she hadcompleted a 2,100-mile leg fromSouth Africa to north of the Ker-guelen Islands, taking a route toavoid an ice hazard area. Aheadof her lay more than 2,100 milesof ocean on a 10- to 16-day leg to apoint south of Cape Leeuwin onthe southwest tip of Australia.

Afghan weddingattack kills 40
NADAHAN VILLAGE,Afghanistan — Body parts intrees. Mud walls flattened.Corpses riddled with ballbearings.
NATO and the Afghan gov-ernment on Thursday blameda Taliban suicide bomber forthe grisly scene at a weddingparty where at least 40 peo-ple were killed by an intenseexplosion. But the Talibanclaimed they played no role inthe blast in the Arghandabdistrict, an insurgent strong-hold near the southern city ofKandahar.
Stunned survivors saidthey suspected a NATOairstrike was responsible, aview that reflects either theirdeep suspicion of the U.S.-led coalition or fear of Talibanretribution.

NEW ORLEANS — At thesame time they are ventingtheir fury on BP over the Gulfof Mexico spill and itscalamitous environmental ef-fects, Louisiana politiciansare rushing to the defense ofthe oil-and-gas industry andpleading with Washington tobring back offshore drilling— now.
As angry as they are overthe disaster, state officialswarn that the Obama admin-istration’s temporary ban ondrilling in the Gulf has sentLouisiana’s most lucrative in-dustry into a death spiral.
They contend that drillingis safe overall and that themoratorium is a knee-jerk re-action, akin to groundingevery airplane in America be-
cause of a single crash. Theyworry, too, that the morato-rium comes at a time whenanother major Louisiana in-dustry — fishing — has beenbrought to a standstill by themess in the Gulf.
“For God’s sake, don’t finishus off with a moratorium,”Louisiana Attorney General
Buddy Caldwell said this week.The oil-and-gas industry is
the backbone of theLouisiana economy, bringingin billions of dollars in rev-enue for the government andaccounting for nearly one-third of the nation’s domesticcrude production.
It took a heavy blow when
the government imposed asix-month offshore drillingmoratorium in the wake ofthe spill that has sent up-wards of 50 million gallons ofoil into the Gulf in the biggestenvironmental disaster inU.S. history. The governmentimposed the ban while it re-views the safety of deepwaterdrilling in light of the BP dis-aster.
Louisiana lawmakers haverailed against the morato-rium, saying it could putmore than 100,000 people outof work, shutter businessesand destroy livelihoods. A billasking the administration toshorten the moratoriumpassed the Legislature unan-imously.
But persuading the admin-istration to take such actioncould prove to be extraordi-
narily difficult at a time whenglobs of oil are foulingmarshes and beaches, im-ages of oil-soaked birds are afixture in the news and noapparent end to the spill is insight.
Interior Secretary KenSalazar has acknowledgedthe potential damage to en-ergy companies and theiremployees and promised aLouisiana senator the ad-ministration would demandthat BP compensate busi-nesses for their losses.
The moratorium put a haltto the 33 deepwater ex-ploratory rigs in operation inthe Gulf in addition to all newdeep-sea drilling permits.Platforms that are alreadyproducing oil along with rigsin shallow waters are al-lowed to remain in operation.
Senate rejects greenhouse gas regs challengeAssociated Press
WASHINGTON — In a boost forthe president on global warming,the Senate on Thursday rejected achallenge to Obama administrationrules aimed at cutting greenhousegas emissions from power plantsand other big polluters.
The defeated resolution wouldhave denied the EnvironmentalProtection Agency the authority tomove ahead with the rules, craftedunder the federal Clean Air Act.With President Barack Obama’sbroader clean energy legislationstruggling to gain a foothold in theSenate, the vote took on greater sig-nificance as a signal of where law-makers stand on dealing with
climate change.“If ever there
was a vote to findout whose sideyou are on, this isit,” said Sen. Bar-bara Boxer, D-Calif., chairmanof the Environ-ment and PublicWorks Commit-tee.
The vote was 53-47 to stop theSenate from moving forward on theRepublican-led effort to restrain theEPA.
Republicans, and the six Democ-rats who voted with them to advancethe resolution, said Congress, not bu-reaucrats, should be in charge of
writing climatechange policy.They said theEPA rules woulddrive up energycosts and kill jobs.
But Democrats,referring fre-quently to theGulf oil spill, saidit made no senseto undermine ef-
forts to curtail greenhouse gas emis-sions and reduce dependence on oiland other fossil fuels.
The effort to block the rules “is anattempt to bury our heads in thesand and ignore reality,” said Sen.Tom Udall, D-N.M.
The White House earlier this
week issued a veto threat, saying theresolution would block efforts to cutpollution that threatens Americans’health and well-being.
The EPA crafted standards ongreenhouse gas emissions by bigpolluters after the Supreme Courtruled that those emissions could beconsidered a danger to humanhealth and thus could be regulatedunder the Clean Air Act. The rulesare to go into effect next January.
The poor chances of the anti-EPAmeasure overcoming a veto and be-coming law did not deter fierce de-bate.
Senate Republican leader MitchMcConnell of Kentucky called thenew regulations a “blatant power grabby the administration and the EPA.”

Celtics tie series at 2-all in 96-89win over Lakers
Associated Press
BOSTON — The Boston Celticshave tied up the NBA finals, andthey owe it more to “Big Baby”than the Big Three.
Backup Glen “Big Baby” Davisscored half of his 18 points in thefourth quarter, leading the Celticsbench as it pulled away from theLos Angeles Lakers to win 96-89on Thursday night and even thebest-of-seven series at two gamesapiece.
Game 5 is Sunday night inBoston. The Celtics’ win guaran-teed them a trip back to Los Ange-les and averted a 3-1 deficit thathas never been overcome in NBAhistory.
Kobe Bryant scored 33 pointsand Pau Gasol had 21 for the Lak-ers.
Paul Pierce scored 19 points,Kevin Garnett had 13 and RayAllen bounced back from a seven-quarter shooting slump to score 12points for Boston.
At halftime, Gasol scored 13points, Bryant added 12, and theLakers held a 45-42 lead over theCeltics.
The Lakers were halfway towhat has been an insurmountablelead in the finals. Every team thathas gone up 3-1 in a series has wonthe championship.
They were getting helped bysome poor Boston shooting. TheCeltics made only 41 percent fromthe field and only half of theireight free throws.

CLEVELAND — Tom Izzo hasflirted with the NBA before. Hemay finally be ready to commit.
Michigan State’s highly re-spected coach visited the Cleve-land Cavaliers on Thursday to geta firsthand inspection of a fran-chise undergoing a majormakeover as it prepares to tryand re-sign LeBron James, thefree-agent-of-a-generation.
After flying to Cleveland in oneof Cavs owner Dan Gilbert’s jets,Izzo spent several hours visiting
with members of the front officeand touring the team’s facilities.
Izzo, who has been courted bypro teams in the past, is believedto be mulling a contract worth upto $6 million a season from theCavaliers, who fired Mike Brownlast month after they lost in thesecond round of the playoffs toBoston despite having theleague’s best regular-seasonrecord for the second straightyear.
It is not known if Izzo gave theCavs a decision or a timetable forone.
If Izzo and Cleveland do notcome to terms, the team couldturn its attention to former NewOrleans and New Jersey coachByron Scott, whose resume wouldmake him attractive to Cleveland.Scott won three NBA titles as aplayer and has experience in
coaching such stars as Jason Kiddand Chris Paul.
A phone message to Scott’sagent, Brian McInerney, was notimmediately returned.
New Cleveland general man-ager Chris Grant said the Cava-liers have spoken to a “number”of candidates, but did not divulgeany names. The team has in-quired about Milwaukee assistantKelvin Sampson.
Izzo recently said he would staywith the Spartans until they wonanother national title. But earlierthis week, Izzo seemed to have achange of heart and met with hiscurrent players. He told them tocontinue to work hard, but did notsay if he was leaving the school,associate head coach Mark Mont-gomery said.

Coloradoheads toPac-10
Associated Press
DENVER — The collegesports landscape began amuch-anticipated shiftThursday with the Univer-sity of Colorado accepting aninvitation to join the Pac-10.
The Buffaloes might notbe the only team boltingfrom the Big 12. Nebraskacould become part of theBig Ten as soon as today,and speculation is heavythat Texas, Texas A&M,Texas Tech, Oklahoma andOklahoma State may alsojump to the Pac-10 to possi-bly form a 16-team superconference.
“This is the dawning of anew day for the Pac-10,”commissioner Larry Scottsaid shortly after announc-ing Colorado as the league’s11th member.
And this just might be thedemise of the Big 12, thehighly successful confer-ence that was formed in1994 when the Big Eight in-vited in the four Texasschools.
If the Big 12 is furtherraided as expected, thatwould leave Missouri, Bay-lor, Iowa State, Kansas and
Six other teamsmay bolt fromBig 12 as well

to offset the roar from Eng-lish fans who usually travelwith their team in largenumbers.
Donald Gips, the U.S. am-bassador to South Africa,said Sunday that FIFA esti-mated 132,000 tickets for the64-game tournament werebought in the United States,
the most in any nation out-side the host.
“Certainly the watercooler talk, if I can use thatexpression, is greater thananything I’ve seen aroundthe World Cup, around theU.S. being in it, and cer-tainly around the U.S.-Eng-land game for sure,” U.S.Soccer Federation presi-dent Sunil Gulati said. “Theamount of time we’re get-ting on ESPN. The cover ofSI. The cover of ESPN The
Magazine. The cover ofTime Magazine. Anybodyremember when that lasthappened for soccer?”
The Irish Pub, a fewblocks from Carnegie Hallin Manhattan, is packedmany weekend mornings forEnglish Premier Leaguegames. Last month, it dou-bled in size in preparationfor the World Cup.
Youth soccer teams areplanning to meet to watchtogether, and several Major
League Soccer stadiums willopen for viewing parties.
Adidas, Nike and Pumahave been busy sellingWorld Cup gear. More than55,000 fans went to Philadel-phia’s Lincoln FinancialField for the U.S. team’ssendoff game on May 29.
Interest ratcheted up lastJune when the Americansupset Spain in the semifi-nals of the ConfederationsCup, a World Cup warmuptournament in South Africa.
The Americans ended theEuropean champion’sstreaks of 15 wins and 35 un-beaten games.
The December drawboosted it even more whenthe United States wasmatched up with England toget things started.
It’s far different from 1990,when the U.S. team returnedto the World Cup for the firsttime in 40 years and fewAmerican fans made the trekto Italy. There wasn’t much
to root for, with the U.S. los-ing three straight games.
“We thought we knewwhat the World Cup was.And you know what? Realityslapped us right in theface,” said Marcelo Balboa,a defender on that U.S. teamwho is covering this tourna-ment for the radio networkFutbol de Primera. “Soccerhas just grown so much.Look at where we’re at now,and look at where we stoodin ‘90?”

NETHERLANDS (4th)Best Result:
Runner-up (1974, 1978)
Should romp in this group behind a deep offense. Can they stop some of the more powerful opponents down the road?
DENMARK (36th)Best Result:
Quarterfinals (1998)Keeper Thomas Sorensen has to be steady, maybe even spectacular, because they don’t figure to fill the net often.
JAPAN (45th)Best Result: Second
Round (2002)Never won a World Cup game on foreign soil, and it will be tough for them to change that.
CAMEROON (19th)Best Result:
Quarterfinals (1990)Dangerous, with the brilliant Samuel Eto’o capable of carrying them to the top of

GROUP A
SOUTH AFRICA
(FIFA ranking: 83rd)Best Result: First Round (1998, 2002) Every host has advanced, a streak that is in serious jeopardy this year; leaky defense and uncertain goalkeeping.
MEXICO (17th) Best Result:
Quarterfinals (1970, 1986)Relying on more European-based players than in the past; should have enough to advance to knockout round.
URUGUAY (16th)Best Result: Champion
(1930, 1950)Diego Forlan could be a difference maker for a team that rarely provides much excitement.
FRANCE (9th)Best Result: Champion
(1998)Few elite teams are as unpredictable as the French; getting past first round could be too large a challenge. GROUP B
ARGENTINA (7th)Best Result:
Champions (1978, 1986)Lionel Messi will need to shine if Argentina is to go deep into the tournament.
NIGERIA (21st)Best Result: Second
Round (1994, 1998)Have talent to play impressive soccer, but will have to do it under new coach Lars Lagerback.
SOUTH KOREA (47th)Best Result: Semifinals
(2002)If there is a breakout player, look for Lee Chung-yong to strike. Could he be the catalyst to advancement?
GREECE (13th)Best Result: First
Round (1994)An experienced group; must get a spark offensively on one of their infrequent counterattacks.
GROUP C
ENGLAND (8th)Best Result: Champion
(1966)With Wayne Rooney up front, they have the power to beat anyone; lack a world class goalkeeper.
UNITED STATES (14th)Best Result: Semifinals
(1930)Everything seems set up for the United States to advance, but injuries throughout lineup add uncertainty.
ALGERIA (30th)Best Result: First
Round (1982, 1986)With no fear of failure, Algeria will be playing just to reach the next round.
SLOVENIA (25th)Best Result: First
Round (2002)Strong defensively, they won’t get blown out by anybody. Can they score enough? GROUP D
GERMANY (6th)Best Result: Champion
(1954, 1974, 1990)Talented, versatile and relentless; figures to be far too physical for these group opponents.
AUSTRALIA (20th)Best Result: Second
Round (2006)With a never-say-die attitude, the Aussies are capable of giving all three group opponents a run.
SERBIA (15th)Best Result: Semifinals
(1930, 1962, as Yugoslavia)Can they score enough goals to move on? Capable of posting some 1-0 victories, but that’s a dangerous way to live.
GHANA (32nd)Best Result: Second
Round (2006)In a tough group, Ghana is without Michael Essien, who didn't recover from a long-term knee injury.
PARAGUAY
(31st)Best Result:
Second Round (1986, 1998, 2002)
Injuries have caused havoc with the attack
although Christian Riveros is capable of sparking the offense; allowed only 16 goals in qualifying.
NEW ZEALAND (78th)Best Result: First
Round (1982)Lack star power and raw talent; getting through to the second round would be a major achievement.
SLOVAKIA (34th)Best Result: NA
Won’t put many balls in the net, but if they can outscore Paraguay, advancement is possible. GROUP G
BRAZIL (1st)Best Result:
Champion (1958, 1962, 1970, 1994, 2002)It’s never wise to discount the Brazilians; plenty of talent to win its sixth world title.
NORTH KOREA (105th)Best Result:
Quarterfinals (1966)Little mystery how they will play: pack it in at the back, venture ahead on counterat-tacks, and keep score as low as possible.
IVORY COAST (27th)
Best Result: First Round (2006)Probably best of the six African nations in field. Need to stomp on opponents offensively because defense is suspect.
PORTUGAL (3rd)Best Result: Semifinals
(1966, 2006)Need Cristiano Ronaldo to find form if they are to make it back to the semifinals. GROUP H
SPAIN (2nd)Best Result: Semifinals
(1934)Should carry unmatched confidence into the event; lots of pressure on them, but this group looks like it can handle it.
SWITZERLAND (24th)Best Result:
Quarterfinals (1934, 1938, 1954)Not a lot of vitality in this squad; keeper Diego Benaglio needs to be stingy for the Swiss to avoid a quick trip home.
HONDURAS (38th)Best Result: First Round
(1982)Advancing from first round will require a major upset. Leaky defense must be patched to have any chance of beating Spain or Chile.
CHILE (18th)Best Result: Semifinals
(1962)Don’t expect them to falter so badly. They can score – 32 goals in qualifying – and are pretty deep up front.
GROUP F
GROUP F
ITALY (5th)Best Result:
Champion (1934, 1938, 1982, 2006)
Defending champions are an aging contingent that should emerge
from this group, but might not have freshness to get much further.
Participating countries
hirty-two teams from across the globe will compete in this year’s World Cup in South Africa from June 11 to
July 11. Record five-time champion Brazil will again be the favorite when the first World Cup in Africa kicks off at Soccer City in Johannesburg. Brazil’s main challengers are expected to be European champion Spain, England and two-time finalist The Netherlands. But maybe the host, or even Ivory Coast or Ghana, can finally end Africa’s wait for a world champion.

Indians 8, Red Sox 7CLEVELAND — Russell Branyan
hit a two-out, two-run single in the ninthinning Thursday night, rallying theCleveland Indians to a crazy 8-7 winover the Boston Red Sox.
Cleveland overcame three errorsin one inning by third baseman AndyMarte, a blown save by Kerry Woodand an eighth-inning disruption bytwo unruly fans.
Adrian Beltre’s two-out, two-runhomer in the ninth off Wood (1-2) putBoston ahead 7-6.
The Indians quickly loaded the baseswith no outs in the bottom half againstDaniel Bard (1-2). Bard, closing whileJonathan Papelbon is on the bereave-ment list, then struck out Travis Hafnerand retired Jhonny Peralta on a foulout.
But Branyan delivered, looping asingle over second baseman DustinPedroia in shallow right field.
The game was interrupted whentwo young men, one wearing a LeBronJames jersey, sprinted across the out-field. One waved a bag of resin, creat-ing a stream that resembled smoke.James’ pregame ritual at ClevelandCavaliers games is loading his handswith powder and tossing it in the air.
Blue Jays 3, Rays 2ST. PETERSBURG — Brett Cecil
won his fifth consecutive start, AlexGonzalez homered and drove in tworuns and the Toronto Blue Jays beat theTampa Bay Rays 3-2 on Thursday night.
Cecil (7-2) allowed one run andthree hits over 6 2-3 innings. The left-hander has given up six earned runs in36 1-3 innings over that stretch.
The Blue Jays had been outscored19-1 in losing the first two games of thethree-game series.
Carlos Pena hit his 129th homerwith Tampa Bay, which set a franchiserecord. The Rays have won six of nineagainst Toronto this season.
Tampa Bay All-Star left fielder CarlCrawford was out of the starting lineupfor the second time in the past threegames for what Rays manager JoeMaddon called “preventative mainte-nance.” Crawford did pinch run andsteal second in the ninth.
“There’s nothing wrong,” Maddonsaid. “We just want to get him off hisfeet, especially on the (artificial) turf.He’s always had trouble with this par-ticular field.”
Maddon said Crawford will play inall three games of an interleague se-ries with Florida that starts on Friday.
Kevin Gregg, who allowed a solohomer to Sean Rodriguez, pitched theninth to record his 15th save.
Rays right-hander Wade Davis (5-6)gave up three runs and seven hits inseven-plus innings.
Gonzalez put the Blue Jays up 1-0on a second-inning homer. The BlueJays, who lead the majors with 98homers, had not gone deep in the pre-vious 20 innings.
Pena tied it at 1 in the bottom of thesecond on his fifth homer over the pastfour games.

Marlins 2, Phillies 0PHILADELPHIA — Josh Johnson
outdueled Roy Halladay in their perfectgame rematch, pitching eight dominantinnings and leading the Florida Marlinsover the Philadelphia Phillies 2-0Thursday night.
Johnson and Halladay last met onMay 29 in Miami, when the Phillies acethrew the 20th perfect game in majorleague history in a 1-0 win.
This time, Johnson (7-2) gave upthree hits, walked one and struck outfive as the Marlins ended a four-gamelosing streak.
Halladay (8-4) was sharp, too, allow-ing one run and six hits in eight innings.He fanned eight and walked one.
Both Halladay and Johnson finishedthe outings with ERAs under 2.00.
A game after scoring 10 runs, thePhillies were shut out for the seventhtime this season, matching their entiretotal from 2009.
Johnson escaped a first-inning jamby striking out Jayson Werth, then re-tired 17 in a row after allowing a one-out double to Shane Victorino in thethird. Johnson was pulled after 113pitches.
Leo Nunez worked around a one-out double to Placido Polanco for his13th save in 15 chances. He struck outRyan Howard to end it, finishing agame played in a brisk two hours, 23minutes.
White Sox 3, Tigers 0CHICAGO — John Danks pitched
seven innings of one-hit ball, OmarVizquel homered and had a suicide-squeeze bunt, and the Chicago WhiteSox beat the Detroit Tigers 3-0.
A.J. Pierzynski also homered for theWhite Sox, who have won two straightgames — just their fourth winningstreak of any kind this season.
The only hit off Danks (5-5) wasCarlos Guillen’s second-inning single.A pair of relievers finished the com-bined three-hitter, with Bobby Jenksgetting his 10th save.
Vizquel connected for his first homerun since last Aug. 7. It was the 2,724th hitfor the 43-year-old infielder, tying RobertoAlomar for 54th on the career list.
One of the best shortstops ever,Vizquel had been a seldom-used utilityinfielder this season until third base-man Mark Teahen broke his finger twoweeks ago.
Max Scherzer (2-6) allowed threeruns and five hits in 7 1/3 innings. TheTigers are 6-12 during a recent slide.
Danks walked four and struck outfour. He was 1-5 with a 5.05 ERA in hisprevious seven starts after going 3-0with a 1.55 ERA in April.
Danks was helped by the absence ofTigers slugger Magglio Ordonez, who isbatting .609 with two homers and sevenRBIs in 23 at-bats against the left-han-der. Ordonez, who has a .336 career av-erage against the White Sox, missed thethree-game series with a sore left side.
Reds made it look so easy again.Brandon Phillips’ fourth hit, a two-run
triple off a nearly perfect relieverGuillermo Mota in the eighth inning, ral-lied Cincinnati to yet another late win,7-6 over the San Francisco Giants.
“I don’t know if you expect it, but Iknow everybody believes, from theplayers to the administrative assistantsto the grounds crew,” manager DustyBaker said. “Don’t turn off the TV ifwe’ve still got bats in our hands.”
The Reds lead the majors with 12wins in their final at-bat. They’ve got 21comeback wins — out of 35 victoriesoverall — which is the best around.
“You can’t give up on us,” saidrookie starter Mike Leake, who got thebenefit of this turnaround. “We’re apretty good team.”
Especially when things look reallydire.
Mota (0-2) had allowed only threeruns all season.
Braves 11, Diamondbacks 7
PHOENIX — Brooks Conradscrambled home to break a ninth-in-ning tie and the Atlanta Braves, afterblowing a five-run lead, beat the Ari-zona Diamondbacks 11-7 Thursday.
The speedy Conrad hit for DavidRoss, who had a double, single andtwo RBIs. Conrad singled, stole secondand made a headfirst slide to score onpinch-hitter Brian McCann’s one-outsingle off closer Chad Qualls (1-3).
Jason Heyward and Eric Hinskealso had RBI singles off Qualls. A sac-rifice fly by Troy Glaus off Carlos Rosacapped the late burst.
Atlanta matched its season high with16 hits yet still left 12 on base for a totalof 47 in the four games. The Diamond-backs struck out 16 times, a seasonhigh for them and for Braves pitchers.
Reliever Jonny Venters’ throwingerror on what should have been an in-ning-ending double play set up a three-run double by ex-Brave Kelly Johnsonin the eighth that tied it at 7.
Peter Moylan (3-1) got the final outof the eighth for the win. He was on themound when outfielders Nate McLouthand Heyward collided on a game-win-ning inside-the-park home run by Ger-ardo Parra in Wednesday night’s 2-1loss.
Arizona loaded the bases in theninth against Billy Wagner, but RustyRyal and pinch hitter Chris Snyderstruck out to end it.

NEW YORK — Bud Black strolledinto the clubhouse and did a mini-danceto the Latin beat, sashaying his hipsside to side the best way he knew how.
The manager of the surprising SanDiego Padres has plenty of reason tocut a rug these days: Boasting the bestERA in the majors, his impressive pitch-ing staff has been in a smooth groove.
Mat Latos outpitched Johan San-tana, and San Diego stopped NewYork’s nine-game home winning streakby beating the Mets 4-2 in the openerof a day-night doubleheader.
“We have a great TEAM,” closerHeath Bell said. “You put us individually,we might not be the best guys out there.But you put us together, and we’re solid.”
Adrian Gonzalez had three hits forthe Padres, including a go-ahead sin-gle. David Eckstein and ChaseHeadley added RBI doubles.
Latos and three San Diego relieverscombined to retire the final 22 Metsbatters after Henry Blanco’s two-runhomer in the second inning, one ofNew York’s season-low two hits.
MILWAUKEE — Carlos Gomezraced home from first base on a sacri-fice bunt and throwing error in the 10thinning, giving the Milwaukee Brewers awild 5-4 victory over the Chicago Cubson Thursday.
Gomez pinch-hit and drew a leadoffwalk from Bob Howry (1-1). CraigCounsell followed with a bunt and thespeedy Gomez rounded second baseand just kept going. First basemanXavier Nady’s frantic throw to thirdsailed wild, allowing Gomez to score.
Milwaukee’s Corey Hart hit his NL-leading 16th homer in the second in-ning — ignoring the roar of the NavyBlue Angels, who are in town for aweekend air show and were flying overMiller Park.
Nady, filling in on a day off for Der-rek Lee, hit a two-run homer.
John Axford (3-1) pitched the 10thfor the win.
Orioles 4, Yankees 3BALTIMORE — Jake Arrieta
pitched six innings of four-hit ball towin his major league debut, and theBaltimore Orioles ended their 10-game losing streak against the NewYork Yankees with a 4-3 victoryThursday night.
Arrieta gave up three runs and out-pitched veteran A.J. Burnett (6-4), whocame in 11-2 lifetime against Baltimoreand 5-0 at Camden Yards.
Yankees third baseman Alex Ro-driguez left the game after the first in-ning. The team did not give the reasonfor his departure, but the prematureexit occurred four days after he waspulled from a game against Torontowith groin tightness.
Although Arrieta’s arrival didn’t get afraction of the attention that StephenStrasburg received in Washington onTuesday, there was still a buzz in theballpark — and more fans in atten-dance (27,064) than in each of the pre-vious two games of the series.
Drafted in the fifth round of the 2007amateur draft, the 24-year-old Arrietaprovided a glimmer of hope for a strug-gling franchise that owns the worstrecord in the majors (17-43).
Toronto went up 2-1 in the third onAdam Lind’s RBI single. Gonzalezadded an eighth-inning sacrifice fly.
NOTES: Blue Jays manager CitoGaston spoke highly of Tampa Bay’s ro-tation, saying the Rays “probably havethe best five starters in baseball.” ...Rays C Dioner Navarro didn’t play dueto a stiff neck. ...

The day began with Izzoon campus in East Lansing,Mich., but by early after-noon he was in Cleveland.His plane was scheduled toland at Burke LakefrontAirport, but was diverted toCuyahoga County Airport inRichmond Heights, Ohio,because the Cavalierswanted to avoid TV cam-eras.
Cavs owner Dan Gilbertdid arrive at Burke, whichis a short drive fromQuicken Loans Arena, theCavs’ downtown home.
Izzo’s interest in the Cavs’job could hinge on James’future. The two-time MVPcan become a free agentJuly 1, and is expected to en-tertain offers from severalteams. It is not known if Izzohas contacted James to seewhether Cleveland remainsone of his possible destina-tions. Last week, James toldCNN’s Larry King that Cavs,his team for the past seven
seasons, have “an edge” tore-sign him.
Gilbert has been ultra-se-cretive in his pursuit ofIzzo, whom he has knownfor years.
Grant, who recently tookover when Danny Ferry re-signed, confirmed this weekthe team has had contactwith Izzo but would notcomment on whether anoffer has been made to the55-year-old. Gilbert is aMichigan State graduate.
Michigan State athleticdirector Mark Hollis said ina statement that Izzo “mademe aware he is meetingwith Cleveland.” Hollisadded that details of anymeetings are “between himand me.”
Text messages were sentto Izzo on Thursday.
Izzo has been at theschool since 1983 and hasbeen the Spartans coachsince 1995, leading them tosix Final Fours in the past12 years. He has spurnedprevious overtures from theNBA, most notably from theAtlanta Hawks, who offeredhim a five-year deal in 2000.
The penalties include theloss of 30 football scholar-ships over three years andvacating 14 victories inwhich Bush played from De-cember 2004 through the2005 season.
USC beat Oklahoma inthe BCS title game on Jan. 4,2005, and won 12 games dur-ing Bush’s Heisman-win-ning 2005 season, whichended with a loss to Texas inthe 2006 BCS title game.
The NCAA says Bush re-ceived lavish gifts from twofledgling sports marketershoping to sign him. The menpaid for everything fromhotel stays and a rent-freehome where Bush’s familyapparently lived to a limou-sine and a new suit when heaccepted his Heisman inNew York in December2005.
The rulings are a sharprepudiation of the Trojans’decade of stunning footballsuccess under Carroll, whowon seven straight Pac-10 ti-tles and two national cham-pionships before leaving forthe NFL’s Seattle Seahawks
last January. Floyd resignedlast June, shortly after hewas accused of giving cashto a middleman who helpedsteer Mayo to USC.
The NCAA found thatBush, identified as a “for-mer football student-ath-lete,” was ineligiblebeginning at least by De-cember 2004, a ruling thatcould open discussion onthe revocation of the NewOrleans Saints star’s Heis-man. Members of the Heis-man Trust have said theymight review Bush’s awardif he was ruled ineligible bythe NCAA.
“I have a great love for theUniversity of Southern Cali-fornia and I very much re-gret the turn that this matterhas taken, not only for USC,but for the fans and players,”Bush said in a statement.
“I am disappointed by(Thursday’s) decision anddisagree with the NCAA’sfindings. If the Universitydecides to appeal, I willcontinue to cooperate withthe NCAA and USC, as I didduring the investigation. Inthe meantime, I will con-tinue to focus on making apositive impact for the Uni-versity and for the commu-nity where I live.”
Kansas State out in the cold.Some of these schools
could be targets for theMountain West Conference,which this week held off oninviting rising footballpower Boise State afterspeculation swirled aboutthe possible unraveling ofthe Big 12.
“I continue to workthrough the process thatwas agreed upon last weekby our board of directors toaddress membership issues,and am working tirelessly
towards the long-term via-bility of the Big 12,” Big 12commissioner Dan Beebesaid in a statement.
Colorado jumped at thechance to switch to a newconference once chats withthe Pac-10 turned more for-mal a few days ago.
To wait may have meantmissing the boat.
“It’s one of those thingswhere if you’re not in,you’re out. People are say-ing, ‘We can’t wait,”‘ saidUCLA football coach RickNeuheisel, who was incharge at Colorado from1995-98 and was “thrilled”to have the Buffaloes as amember of the league.

Rescue launched forgirl on solo world sailLOS ANGELES — A 16-
year-old Southern California girlattempting a solo sail aroundthe world was feared in troubleThursday thousands of milesfrom land in the frigid, heavingsouthern Indian Ocean after heremergency beacons began sig-naling and satellite phone com-munication was lost.
An international effort to res-cue young Abby Sunderlandbegan, but the vast distancesmeant long hours of waiting forher family and support team,which expressed confidencethat she was alive because thebeacons were deliberatelyturned on rather than set off au-tomatically.
“She’s got all the skills sheneeds to take care of what shehas to take care of, she has allthe equipment as well,” saidbrother Zac, himself a veteranof a solo sail around the worldat age 17.
Australian Maritime SafetyAuthority spokeswoman CarlyLusk said three vessels weresent from the French territory ofReunion Island and an aircraftwas dispatched from Perth on afour-hour flight to Abby’s loca-tion more than 2,000 miles fromboth Africa and Australia.
Qantas airlines said in a state-ment that an Airbus A330 taskedby the safety authority took off at7:53 a.m. Friday Perth time(23:53 GMT) and its crew wouldtry to spot the sailboat.

TAMPA — Bold and fear-less on the ice during a Hallof Fame playing career,Steve Yzerman is taking thesame approach to rebuildingthe Tampa Bay Lightning.
In his first major movesince becoming generalmanager of the strugglingfranchise, Yzerman steppedoutside the NHL to hire GuyBoucher as theteam’s new coachThursday.
Boucher has onlyone year of profes-sional coaching ex-perience, none onhockey’s highestlevel. But Yzermanwas not deterredfrom making himthe league’syoungest coach, say-ing the 38-year-oldhas adapted to the players,personalities and level ofplay he’s encountered atevery stage of his career.
“I wanted a strong leader.Someone who’s been suc-cessful. Someone who willsell the game to our fans. ... Ihave no doubt he will chal-lenge our players to be bet-ter,” said Yzerman, hired lastmonth to overhaul a teamthat hasn’t advanced beyondthe opening round of theplayoffs since winning theStanley Cup six years ago.
“He’s ready to coach inthe NHL. There’s no ques-tion in my mind about that.... He’s been a part of win-ning programs for a longtime, so I had no reserva-tions. He’s 38 years old, he’snot 21. He’s been in thisgame a long time.”
The former coach of theAmerican Hockey League’sHamilton Bulldogs agreedto a contract after turning
down a chance tocoach the ColumbusBlue Jackets earlierthis week.
He replaces RickTocchet, who wasfired April 12 after a34-36-12 finish leftthe Lightning out ofthe playoffs for thethird straight time.
Boucher ledHamilton — Mon-treal’s top minorleague affiliate — to
the second-best record inthe AHL.
“It’s a tremendous oppor-tunity. I’m certainly lookingforward to building a cul-ture,” Boucher said. “I thinkwe’ve got some great build-ing blocks, and a lot we canwork with, and guys we cancertainly trust to carry thatculture. I’m very eager tostart. I feel ready to start.”
Boucher was a juniorleague coach for three yearsbefore leading Hamilton to52 regular-season wins.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. —Joey Logano made it clearon pit road at Pocono thathe’s sick and tired of beingpushed around.
It’s about time.Logano, the scrawny new
kid on the playground, fi-nally stood up to one of theneighborhood bullies by es-sentially telling Kevin Har-vick he was done playingnice. If the confrontationfollowing Sunday’s racewasn’t enough to make hispoint, Logano followed upwith three pointed shots atthe veteran driver in a livetelevision interview.
One of them was aboutHarvick’s wife!
Who knew the kid had itin him?
After all, it was a longoverdue display of back-bone for Logano, wholikely earned a fair share ofrespect for finally standingup for himself after a sea-son-and-a-half of being po-lite. Problem is, hisnewfound moxie has beensomewhat overshadowed
by the presence ofdaddy.
Ah, yes, TomLogano. Back inthe center of thestorm.
The elderLogano learned ahard lesson lastyear, whenNASCAR pulled hiscredential for en-tering pit road toconfront Greg Biffle follow-ing the Nationwide Seriesrace at California. He wasangry at how Biffle hadraced his son, who only twoweeks earlier had rolled hiscar seven times in a spec-tacular accident at Dover.
Young Joey was clearlyshaken following thatwreck, and his post-acci-dent demeanor raisedquestions about his mettle.It didn’t help that TV cam-eras caught Tom Loganomaking a panicked sprintto the care center, paintinga picture of a scared littleboy in need of his father.
It was probably an unfaircharacterization, but big-time pro sports can be cut-
throat and JoeyLogano endured adecent dose ofwhispering aboutthe back-to-back in-cidents and the roleof his father, theoverzealous protec-tor.
Yet there he wasagain Sunday atPocono, where hewas the second to
reach Joey’s car after he wasspun by Harvick in the clos-ing laps. The first was a JoeGibbs Racing crewman, whomade an honest effort tokeep the driver from wadinginto the sea of yellow-cladteam members who hadformed a barrier aroundHarvick. The guy might havesucceeded, too, if TomLogano — a tall, fit, hot-tem-pered Italian — had notpried him away from his son.
What happened next isup for interpretation, butmultiple replays seemed toshow the father encourag-ing his son to confront Har-vick with both a gestureand what appeared to be ashout of “Go Ahead!” Joey
Logano never got that closeto Harvick, but he was red-faced and shouting, behav-ior never before seen inNASCAR from the polite20-year-old.
At some point in all thecommotion, Tom Loganoapparently shoved a televi-sion reporter out of his way,an action that earned thefather his own trip to theNASCAR hauler.
Just like that, NASCARhad its very own LittleLeague dad.
That’s not to say TomLogano wasn’t already cat-egorized that way. He’sbeen hands-on for Joey’sentire career, which tookoff after he sold the family’swaste management com-pany in Connecticut andused the funds to help histwo children pursue theirdreams. It was ice skatingfor older sister Danielle,and her passion took thefamily to Georgia. There,they could take advantageof liberal restrictions onyoung racers, and Joey wasdriving quarter midgets bythe time he was 6 years old.

TOKYO
Controversy over “The Cove,” anOscar-winning documentaryabout the annual dolphin huntin a Japanese village, haswidened into a debate over free
speech in the country.Three theaters last week canceled
showings of the movie after theywere swamped with angry phonecalls and threatened with noisyprotests by nationalist groups. It wasbanned on a U.S. military base inJapan as too controversial, and 23other theaters are still decidingwhether to show the film, accordingto Japanese distributor Unplugged.
After the cancellations, a group ofJapanese journalists, academics andfilm directors signed a letter urgingthe theaters not to back down andsaying the issue “underlines theweakness of freedom of speech inJapan.”
Freedom of speech is guaranteedin Japan’s constitution, but manyJapanese are wary of unruly demon-strations.
Nationalist groups, known forblasting slogans from truck convoysand handheld loudspeakers, oftenuse the threat of protests as lever-age. Two years ago, angry phonecalls led several theaters to cancelshowings of “Yasukuni,” a movieabout a Japanese war shrine thathonors fallen soldiers, including exe-cuted military leaders convicted aswar criminals.
On Wednesday, over 600 peoplecrammed into a civic hall in Tokyo fora rare chance to see “The Cove,” withlines forming hours before the doorsopened and viewers spilling out intothe lobby to watch via a video feed.Outside of small private showings, itwas the first time the movie has beenscreened in Japan since October,when it was shown at the Tokyo Inter-national Film Festival.
The event had originally beenplanned to discuss the movie, whichshows bloody scenes of a dolphinslaughter filmed by hidden camerasand portrays local fishermen asrough goons. But instead the eventfocused on the theater cancellations,reflecting the changing debatearound the film.
“Protesters only threatened to dobad things, and then theaters gotscared and pulled out,” said Hi-royuki Shinoda, chief editor of“Tsukuru” magazine, which organ-ized the showing.
Shinoda, who signed the protestletter last week, urged those presentto contact theaters and ask that themovie be shown.
Ric O’Barry, a former trainer forthe “Flipper” TV show who is thecentral character of “The Cove,”made a surprise appearance at thescreening. He is now a dolphin ac-tivist, but on Wednesday talked in-stead about freedom of speech andthe large number of awards themovie has won.
“Those awards are given for enter-tainment value, and for that reasonalone the Japanese people should beable to see it and make up their ownmind,” he said. It won best documen-tary at the Academy Awards thisyear.
Outside the hall, about two dozenpolice and plainclothes officers wereon duty, but no protests took place,although a few people quietlyhanded out flyers calling for themovie to be banned. One flyer linkedthe movie with Sea Shepherd, ananti-whaling group that clashes withJapan’s whaling fleet each year.
“Freedom of expression doesn’tneed to be recognized for a moviemade by terrorists,” it read.
“The Cove” includes an interviewwith Sea Shepherd founder PaulWatson. It is presented as the firstdocumentary from The OceanicPreservation Society, a groupheaded by Director Louie Psihoyosthat lists Sea Shepherd as a partner.
Various right-wing groups considerthe movie to be anti-Japanese, say-ing that dolphin hunts occur in otherparts of the world and that any por-trayal of animals being slaughteredfor food would be bloody and un-pleasant to watch.
The groups have led noisy protestsoutside of Unplugged’s headquartersand the home of its president.
In Taiji, the small village wherethe hunt occurs, the local govern-ment and fishing cooperative defenddolphin hunting as a local customwith a long history. The mostly bot-tlenose dolphins killed in the huntare not endangered, and hunts arealso carried out in other parts ofJapan — although very few Japanesehave ever eaten dolphin meat.
In the version of “The Cove”shown Tuesday and intended for re-lease in Japan, disclaimers havebeen added saying those inter-viewed in the movie are not protest-ing or supporting dolphin issues.Unlike the U.S. version, the faces ofmost Japanese are blurred out.

For as long as I can re-member, videogamefilm adaptations
have been categorized as,well, bad. It seems that acurse has been placed onvideogame adaptations be-cause whether it’s a movieabout aliens, assassins ortreasure hunters, the movieversions are hardly everwell received.
When the media heardthat the immenselypopular “Princeof Persia” se-ries wasgetting itsown chanceat silverscreen fame,people startedwondering if thecurse could be broken. Andwhen we learned the teambehind it would includeproducer Jerry Bruck-heimer (of the “Pirates ofthe Caribbean” trilogy), di-rector Mike Newell (“HarryPotter 4”) and actor JakeGyllenhaal at the lead,things started to look goodfor the newest videogameadaptation. Sure enough, itseems that this new “Ara-bian Nights” tale has takenthe genre of videogamefilms in a new and better di-rection.
The story begins when thePersian Empire is under therule of King Sharaman whohas two sons, Tus and Gar-siv, but one day the kingbrings in another son off thestreets whose name is Das-tan (Jake Gyllenhaal). Theking sees good in young Das-tan’s heart when Dastansaves a boy in the marketfrom cruel soldiers and sohe makes him a prince.
After the first five min-utes, we see the three broth-ers all grown up and on theway to attack the city of Ala-mut because they believethat they are sellingweapons to enemies of Per-sia. During this raid, Dastanfinds a mystical dagger. Noone except the princess ofthe city, Tamina (GemmaArterton), knows its truepowers.
When the army success-fully overtakes the city, theking travels to celebratewith his three sons. Dastanis given a robe to present tothe king as a celebratory giftfor their victory, but whenthe kings puts it on, he is
CHRISTY LEMIREAP movie critic
Fellow children of the ’80s:Merely pondering the possibility
of a “Karate Kid” remake tearsat the very fiber of our adoles-cence.
No one else needs to say thewords “wax on-wax off” everagain. No teen bully couldpossibly be as slickly menac-ing as Billy Zabka. And asclimactic showdown songsgo, nothing could beat thecliched bombast of “You’rethe Best Around.” (Now it’llbe stuck inyour
head the rest of theday, just like it’s stuck inmine. You’re welcome.)
Sure, John G. Avild-sen’s original 1984movie was formulaic,
but it was OUR formula. Therewas no doubt Daniel-San was evergoing to lose to rich, arrogantJohnny, leader of the Cobra Kai, inthe finals of the big karate tourna-ment. But that was OK. He had
heartonhisside—and
thecranekick.
Avild-sen also
directed“Rocky,”
so he knew alittle something about playing upthe underdog theme for maximumemotional impact. We were suckedin despite ourselves.
Nevertheless, a new version of“The Karate Kid” is upon us. Di-rector Harald Zwart (“Agent Cody
Banks”) hits all the same notes andadheres closely to Robert MarkKamen’s original script, down to asweep-the-leg moment in the fi-nale. Details have been tweaked inChristopher Murphey’s new script,including the setting: Instead ofmoving from New Jersey to LosAngeles because of his singlemom’s new job, our young heromoves from Detroit to Beijing,where he promptly incurs thewrath of the local thugs and learnsmartial arts to protect himself.(And by the way, it’s now kung fu.)
But one of the biggest changes ofall is the character’s age.
Ralph Macchio was what, like,35 when he played Daniel? But he
looked 16, as his character was,so he seemed like a good fit.Now the character, Dre, is 12— as is the film’s star, JadenSmith, son of Will and Jada(both executive producers).But with his pretty face and
slight build, Smith looks about9. It’s inescapably distracting. Andso neither the fighting nor the ro-mance with a girl who’s out of hisleague — two key components of“The Karate Kid” — makes sense.
Even after the obligatory train-ing montage, Smith is still a tiny,lean kid. Macchio didn’t exactlybulk up, but he had an attitudeabout him, an East Coast swagger,that helped make his transforma-tion into a karate master believ-able. Plus it’s just uncomfortablewatching kids this age beat eachother up to the point of serious in-jury; there’s no one to root for inthat.
Still, we must watch Dre gothrough the motions of learningfrom Mr. Han (Jackie Chan), thehandyman in the building where

Review: ‘A-Team’ is flat-out funCHRISTY LEMIRE
AP movie critic
“Overkill is underrated,” says HannibalSmith, leader of “The A-Team,” while plan-ning a particularly elaborate and explo-sive scheme to trap a bad guy.
Director and co-writer Joe Carnahanapparently subscribes to this school ofthought, as well.
If you’re looking for subtlety, look else-where. Carnahan’s big-screen version of
the ’80s TV series is ridiculouslyover-the-top, full of wild heli-
copter chases and explod-ing sport utility
vehicles and tumbling cargo containers. Attimes it feels like little more than a cacoph-ony of automatic gunfire and shattered glass.
Then again, you shouldn’t really expectanything else given the source material andthe director’s own filmography. Carnahanpreviously wrote and directed “Smokin’Aces” from 2007, a piece of wannabe GuyRitchie bombast about a Vegas assassinationattempt — but he also made the tremendousand little-seen drama “Narc” from 2002, star-ring Ray Liotta and Jason Patric as Detroitcops.

Suddenly a murder sus-pect, Dastan flees with Tam-ina and goes on a quest toclear his name. Soon afterthey flee, Dastan realizesthat the dagger he found iscapable of taking back time.Tamina tells him he mustprotect the dagger at allcosts.
The best thing about“Prince of Persia” is that ithas top-notch stunts and ac-tion sequences — the bestI’ve seen in a long time. Oneof the things that has madethe videogames so popularare the acrobatic abilities ofthe prince. He can swing offof poles, do back flips acrosswalls and my personal fa-vorite — he can run onwalls. So naturally, the filmhad to include this factorand, for me, it was the mostenjoyable part of the filmbecause when you includethe classic sword fights andthen throw in acrobaticstunts throughout, it goes to-gether very well — almostlike “Pirates of theCaribbean” on steroids.
One thing that sets this
film aside from othervideogame adaptations isthe good story. Mostvideogame films havepoorly thought out storylines because they arestrictly based on the videogames themselves. In thisfilm, they take elementsfrom the game but then re-craft the story into a moreoriginal plot line, much likewhat producer Jerry Bruck-heimer did with “Pirates.”This is the way to go be-cause it allows for a morecreative approach to thefilm and its story.
All in all, “Prince of Per-sia” has almost every ele-ment that one could want:great action, great stunts, ro-
mance, suspense, and agood script. I think it is nowclear that all videogamefilms do not have to be terri-ble. The “curse” has beenbroken. Three stars out offour.
“Prince of Persia: TheSands of Time” has a run-ning time of 116 minutesand is rated PG-13 for in-tense sequences of violenceand action.

SCENECITRUS COUNTY (FL) CHRONICLE FRIDAY, JUNE 11, 2010 C5
Dysfunctional science horrifies in ‘Splice’Years ago, the
“Species” franchisepushed taboos by
featuring an extraterrestrialseductress who conceivedalien offspring with unsus-pecting men. Un-palatable as thiswas, “Splice”plummets to un-thinkable lows.Not only show-casing a deliber-ate interspeciesaffair, it burgeonswith incestuousimplications.
Regardless ,“Splice” beginsi n t e r e s t i n g l yenough. CliveNicoli (Adrien Brody) andElsa Kast (Sarah Polley) areeccentric geneticists benton a breakthrough. Young asthey are, the couple has al-ready met success, havingengineered a uniquespecies. A perfect compila-tion of animal genomes, thecreature produces a viru-lent protein that would rev-olutionize the livestockindustry. However, Cliveand Elsa aren’t ones to sit ontheir laurels, instead vyingto tinker with human DNA
in hopes curing genetic dis-eases.
Operating outside theirsponsor’s wishes, legalityand scientific ethics, theysplice animal and human
chromosomes.Push comes toshove and Elsashoots the bud-ding embryo intoa womb-like con-traption. Withintoo short a time,the machinegives birth to ahairless chicken-rabbit. Clive is re-volted but Elsacannot bear thethought of hurt-
ing it.The thing, eventually
named Dren, becomes in-creasingly human. Elsatreats Dren like a daughter,showering her with dresses,jewelry and dolls. Reluctantas he was at first, Cliveeventually accepts her, too.
The origins of Dren’s“anonymous” human donor,Elsa’s festering family se-crets and Clive’s inability toshirk pubescent come-onsrupture to a mortifying tryst,leading to laughable Jerry
Springer-style mayhem. I must admit, the first
quarter of “Splice” has anedge. Adrien Brody andSarah Polley fit their (ini-tially) likeable characters.Even at the surface, Brody’sdistinct appearance, Pol-ley’s blazing red hair andboth actors’ wild wardrobescream individualism. Defi-antly naming their corpora-tion NERD, the unabashedfans of jazz and contempo-rary art give a hip “thumpsup” to smart weirdoes.
Plus the CGI monstersare beauties! Drably col-ored and unimposing, thecow-eyed slug creaturesFred and Ginger (namedafter the singers) are exoticbut reined into believabil-ity. Following Bad Robot’s“Cloverfield” monster aes-thetic, Dren’s downsizedfirst stage captures a men-acing as well as infantiledisposition. Thoughwrought over a jaggedframe, newborn Dren’stransparent pink skin andvisible breathing evidenceher fragility.
“Splice’s” quirky charac-ters, subtle character de-sign and brainy debate
gradually morph to an un-foreseen monstrosity. Over-stating absolutelyeverything, it is an enginethat blows all its gaskets toburp up a hysterical sym-phony. Later forms of Drenfeature not only a stingerand chicken legs but alsoaquatic lungs, a human faceand retractable dragonflywings. Someone could notjust settle on a concept!
Clive and Elsa, portrayedinitially as odd but well-rounded people, partake inuncharacteristically de-ranged acts. Troubled back-stories and quasi-Freudianpsychology attempt to givedepth to the sickeningdrama to no avail.
Aside from a promisingstart, all “Splice” has tooffer are some uninten-tional guffaws for the de-based inner teenager. It’sludicrous and I give it a D+.
Rated R for disturbing el-ements including strongsexuality, nudity, sci-fi vio-lence and language.

CHRISTY LEMIREAP movie critic
She would seem to be themost brutally straightforwardwoman in America, but JoanRivers emerges as a jumble ofcontradictions in the docu-mentary “Joan Rivers: A Pieceof Work,” beginning most im-mediately — and superficially— with her appearance.
There’s the voice, whichstill has that recognizableraspy edge to it, that amped-up indignation, even in hermid-70s. But then there’s theface, which doesn’t move re-gardless of the intensity of herstand-up comedy rants — theresult of too much plastic sur-gery, which she’s all too happyto discuss. Nothing is off lim-its when she’s talking aboutherself, which is simultane-ously part of her appeal andpart of her narcissism.
There’s the desire to betaken seriously as an actress,as evidenced by how deeplycut she feels when the Lon-don reviews of her one-woman play aren’t exactlyraves, but also a willingness toendorse any product and agenuine enthusiasm for theopportunities that might arisefrom appearing on DonaldTrump’s “Celebrity Appren-tice.”
And then there’s the acerbicwit that spares no one andnothing, a trailblazing comicpresence, juxtaposed with atraditional, almost quaintlonging for loyalty, honestyand trust — one that bringsher to tears — even after allthese years in show business.
Rivers is never boring,that’s for sure, even when thefilm itself grows repetitive byhammering home a few keypoints. Directors Ricki Sternand Annie Sundberg followedher around for a year, startingwith her 75th birthday, and atvarious times Rivers herselfor those around her state theobvious: She’s a performer.She’s hardworking. She’s aperfectionist.
Because she gave the film-makers unlimited access toher home and her life, we getto see the meticulously la-
beled file cabinets in her of-fice — a wall full of them —containing note cards withevery joke she’s ever told fordecades. We see her arrive athotels in the middle of thenight after performing a set,only to be awakened scanthours later to hop on a plane,fly somewhere else and do itall over again.
Rivers’ drive is awe-inspir-ing, while her desperateyearning to be back on top ismore than a little sad. Whenlooking at her calendar, shejokes that she has to wear sun-glasses because the whitenessof the empty pages is blinding(apparently Kathy Griffin nowcommands all the big LasVegas and comedy-club gigs).She sells jewelry on QVC tohelp support her lavishlifestyle, and her gaudy NewYork apartment is a sight tobehold.
But after 40 years as a co-median, what is she waitingfor? What will finally makeher happy? Family alonedoesn’t satisfy her; daughterMelissa, an only child, is only
half kidding when she saysthat growing up she had a sib-ling: “the career.” Filling in forJohnny Carson as host of “TheTonight Show” was, of course,a career-defining highlight.But having other femalecomics approach her with rev-erence, thanking her for hav-ing opened the door for them,inspires her to respond thatthey can go (expletive) them-selves.
Yes, the biting sense ofhumor is undeniably stillthere, and aside from her un-expected flashes of vulnera-bility, that’s what sticks withyou most after watching “APiece of Work.” Watching herdo stand-up is mesmerizing:the rhythm of it, the relent-lessness. So maybe we’relucky that Rivers doesn’t wantto retire on a beach some-where — that she still wants totalk.
“Joan Rivers: A Piece ofWork,” an IFC Films release,is rated R for language andsexual humor. Running time:84 minutes. Three stars out offour.

intelligence and characterdevelopment of the latter — asurprising amount, given thetime of year it’s hitting the-aters. But mainly it’s just flat-out fun, with a cheeky senseof humor — way more enjoy-able than you might expectwhen you consider the igno-minious history of movies in-spired by TV shows. (“LeaveIt to Beaver,” anyone?)
Carnahan keeps thingsmoving, making the two-hourrunning time fly by. The film’sfluid editing is especially no-ticeable during the big setpieces — impossibly com-plex, intricately timed mis-sions that the team makeslook easy.
The strength of the casthelps: Liam Neeson as Han-nibal, the team’s cigar-chomping mastermind,whom George Peppardplayed on television; BradleyCooper, an ideal choice to
step into the Dirk Benedictrole as charmer Templeton“Face” Peck; and “District 9”star Sharlto Copley bringingequal amounts of humor anddanger to the role of “Howlin’Mad” Murdock. Even mixedmartial arts star Quinton“Rampage” Jackson offers asolid presence, filling the in-timidating shoes of Mr. T toplay B.A. Baracus. Onewould, in theory, pity the foolasked to do that; Jacksondoes just fine in his first filmrole.
The basic details are thesame, though the period hasshifted to the present day;having said that, it’s also a bitof a prequel to the show’s ad-ventures. Instead of beingVietnam veterans, they’re inthe final days of troop with-drawal from Iraq in the scriptCarnahan co-wrote withBrian Bloom, who has a smallbut pivotal supporting part.
Still, Hannibal, Face, Mur-dock and B.A. are formerArmy Rangers framed for acrime they didn’t commit;“The A-Team” follows their
efforts to clear their namesand find the real culprits be-hind a botched attempt atstealing back some U.S. cur-rency plates. Jessica Biel isall business as the Army cap-tain who chases them oncethey escape and go on therun, and Patrick Wilson’spretty-boy looks make himideally smarmy as the CIA op-erative with mysterious mo-tives and allegiances.
While several of the actionsequences flow beautifullyand have a great energyabout them, others look fakeand cheesy, with distractinglycartoony special effects. Still,the pyrotechnics shouldplease the guys in the audi-ence looking for mindlesssummer fun. And for thewomen ... Cooper has his shirtoff early and often. And he’sclearly been to the gym.
“The A-Team,” a 20th Cen-tury Fox release, is rated PG-13 for intense sequences ofaction and violence through-out, language and smoking.Running time: 118 minutes.Three stars out of four.
he and his mother, Sherry(Taraji P. Henson) now live.
Dre hates it in China —doesn’t understand the lan-guage, can’t use chopsticks,etc. — but when he meets apretty violinist named MeiYing in the park, he’s smit-ten. School bully Cheng(Zhenwei Wang) doesn’tlike this development,though, and goes on a mis-sion to make Dre’s life evenmore hellish than it al-ready was. Enter Mr. Han,who not only fights offDre’s enemies, he heals theboy’s injuries and puts himthrough his own peculiartraining regimen.
We all know where this isheaded: The Big Tourna-ment. But first, “TheKarate Kid” stops at theGreat Wall and the Forbid-den City — you know, justbecause they’re pictur-esque — which contributeto the movie’s overlongrunning time. Still, Chan issolid in an extremely dif-ferent role, one that’s muchmore serious and under-stated than his well-known,playful persona. All thetrademark acrobatics arethere, but without thecheerful mugging. Afterdecades on screen, it’s re-freshing to see Chan shiftgears like this.
Functioning in the Mr.Miyagi role, Chan also hasdecent chemistry withSmith. But things are awk-
ward between Smith andWenwen Han, the Chineseversion of Elisabeth Shue’sAli-with-an-I. Their ages,her shy demeanor, her Eng-lish (which is sometimeshard to understand) — allthese factors conspireagainst them, and the film.
The ending is still rous-ing enough to make thefilm a crowd-pleaser,though. But after this,hopefully some ’80s clas-sics like “Sixteen Candles,”“Better Off Dead” and “Re-venge of the Nerds” will re-main off-limits.
“The Karate Kid,” a Co-lumbia Pictures release, israted PG for bullying, mar-tial arts action violenceand some mild language.Running time: 135 minutes.Two stars out of four.

Dance under the starsMusic on the Square in Inverness Saturday
Encore Ensemble Theater Inc.has graciously accepted the giftof a trunk full of theatrical sup-
plies. Included in these donated treas-ures are play catalogs (perhaps a bitoutdated), scripts, paperback books onstagecraft and suppliers, along withbooks of collected plays byfamous authors. Amongthese are the collectedworks of Noel Coward andNeil Simon.
Most directors, actors andtheater lovers are familiarwith the name Neil Simon.Many of his plays are come-dies with an underlyingmessage, yet written in sucha way that causes theaterpeople to be so receptive tohis scripts and find them soendearing. He writes fromlife experiences with char-acters and situations that are so real,yet often so humorous, that audiencescan identify with them. It would be arare occasion to find a community the-ater that has never staged a Simon play.The late Gulf Islands Civic Theaterfound great success with “Barefoot inthe Park” and “The Prisoner of SecondAvenue” during its 30-some years ofproviding theater productions to thiscommunity. Both of these plays wereproduced at five different locationswith five different casts. “The Odd Cou-ple” was another hit that Gulf Islandsperformed more than once. The ArtCenter Theater recently performedSimon’s “The Gingerbread Lady” and“Lost in Yonkers.” His writing is sopopular that many of his plays havebeen made into movies.
Any accredited theater critic will beable to name at least five of the greatestEnglish playwrights of the past 100
years, Neil Simon included. Amongthese are George Bernard Shaw,Arthur Miller, Eugene O’Neill, Ten-nessee Williams, Edward Albee andWilliam Inge. Where Simon is noted forcomedy, some of the others wereknown for realistic drama regarding
moral, political or economicissues, biting dialogue, pes-simism and tragedy, with theexception of Shaw, whoseplays were often fraughtwith incisive comedy.
Shaw, who passed away in1950, was an Irish dramatistand critic who won theNobel Peace Prize for Liter-ature in 1928. The musical“My Fair Lady” was basedon his play “Pygmalion.”Another of his works, “Armsand the Man,” set the scenefor the operetta “The
Chocolate Soldier.” His “Major Bar-bara” was the idea behind the musical“Guys and Dolls,” which drew large au-diences at our Art Center Theater lastsummer.
No doubt, the name Arthur Miller isknown to most everyone. His claim tofame should not be the result of hisfleeting marriage to Marilyn Monroe,but for his literary accomplishments;“Death of A Salesman” is rarely stagedby community theaters though it is anall-time Broadway favorite. The part ofbeleaguered salesman, Willie Loman,is one that many actors consider aplum role. This play and another of hiswritings, “The Crucible,” have beenput on film. Art Center Theater choseto stage his “All My Sons” a few yearsago. Though a heavy drama, it was crit-ically acclaimed by local audiences.
Other contemporary playwrightswhose names are recognizable are
Noel Coward (“Privates Lives,” “BlitheSpirit”), Tennessee Williams (“Cat on aHot Tin Roof,” “The Glass Menagerie,”“A Streetcar Named Desire”) EugeneO’Neill (“Mourning Becomes Electra,”“The Iceman Cometh”), William Inge(“Bus Stop,” “Picnic”) and EdwardAlbee (“Who’s Afraid of VirginiaWoolf,” “A Delicate Balance”). With theexception of Coward, these playwrightsare recognized for outstanding dra-matic plays.
Encore Ensemble Theater Inc., al-though a relatively new entity, has be-come recognized for audienceparticipation mystery/comedy dinnertheater and for musical revues. At thistime, an original musical and a musi-cal revue along the lines of the award-winning “One Hundred Years ofMusical Memories” are in the offing.The Art Center Theater opens nextmonth with its summer musical, “TheKing and I,” adapted from the book“Anna and the King of Siam.” NatureCoast Performers’ Janie Smith andhusband Donald have just returnedfrom a camping trip in the Coloradomountains. Nature Coast PerformersInc. has opted to postpone the summershow and will open the season in Sep-tember as planned.
Our theater volunteers deserve a lit-tle time away from their theater com-mitments, but knowing theirdedication and love for all theater ac-tivities, they won’t be taking much timeoff. Though June is a quiet theatermonth, look for productions coming upin the very near future.

Charles Caleb Colton, an eccen-tric English cleric, writer and col-lector, said, “Falsehood is neverso successful as when she baitsher hook with truth, and no opin-ions so fatally mislead us, as thosethat are not wholly wrong.”
That can be so true at the bridgetable. When you are in trouble, tryto mislead the defenders with afalsehood — a falsecard — thatthey may believe is a true card.
In this deal, you are in fourspades. West leads the heart aceand East signals discouraginglywith the two. What would you do?
Over West’s takeout double,North had a strong hand for a sin-gle raise. However, with 4-3-3-3distribution and 10 losers, nothingelse was better. Your jump togame over the single raise was ag-gressive, especially since West
rated to have some minor-suithonors hovering over yours. But avulnerable game bonus is irre-sistible bait.
You have two heart losers andpossibly two diamond losers. Ofcourse, if East has the diamondqueen, you are in no danger. Whatcan you do, though, if West has theace-queen over your king-jack?
You must try to mislead West bysmoothly dropping your heartqueen under his ace at trick one.If the truth is that you have playeda singleton, West will not want tolead the heart king next, becauseyou would ruff and gain a discardon dummy’s heart jack. If insteadhe shifts to the club jack, you arehome. You win with your king (thehonor from the shorter side first),draw trumps, and take dummy’sclub winners, discarding your lowheart. You will lose only one heartand two diamonds.

Dear Annie: I am 60 andhave been in a relation-ship with “James” for
nine years. He is 76 and a kindman. When we met, hiswife had died sixweeks earlier. I hadbeen widowed for fouryears.
We live together inmy home. I never go tohis. James nevertreats me as a wife be-cause we are not mar-ried. My children areOK with our relation-ship. His children,however, have a hardtime accepting me.Only one of his daugh-ters treats me nicely.
When I met James, he felt likea lifesaver. We’ve had greattimes together, but when itcomes to his kids, I’m always leftout. We also have no sex life.What do you suggest I do? I don’twant to be fighting all the time,yet I don’t want to be alone. It’salso very hard to find a goodman. — Frustrated
Dear Frustrated: If Jamesbegan seeing you six weeks afterhis wife died, we can under-stand why his children mighthave had a hard time acceptingyou. And the fact that after nineyears he doesn’t treat you as alifetime partner indicates hestill is not fully committed toyou. His children can see thatand use it to drive a wedge. IfJames doesn’t insist that theyshow you more respect, nothingwill change.
One of the major mistakes awoman can make is believingher life is only worthwhile if
there is a man in it. Don’t be soafraid to be alone that you re-main in a relationship that does-n’t make you happy.
Dear Annie: I’m themother of a beautiful9-year-old daughterwho has autism.“Shawna” doesn’tspeak or use the bath-room, but she is avery active child.
My husband and Idon’t have any friendsor family who aresupportive, becausethey don’t understandShawna’s behavior(shrieking, grabbingfood, hitting othersand running away).
When we are at family gather-ings, they treat her like a prob-lem child and act annoyed at usfor her “bad” behavior.
I want to let people know itmakes the parents feel verylonely and isolated. Taking careof a child with autism or anyother disability is hard work.Please be more understandingand supportive. Let them knowyou are there for them. — V.W.
Dear V.W.: Autistic childrenare a tremendous challenge forthe parents and are exceedinglydifficult for relatives andfriends who aren’t as emotion-ally invested. You cannot expectthem to understand if theyhaven’t been educated. Pleasecontact the Autism Society ofAmerica (autism-society.org),4340 East-West Hwy., Suite 350,Bethesda, MD 20814, for supportand help. Good luck.
Dear Annie: “It’s Cold inMaine” was upset with her
granddaughter’s language onFacebook. One would think a 21-year-old college student wouldbe interested in projecting amore professional attitude on aFacebook page that might beseen by future employers. Therewill always be someone who willpull photos and comments out ofcyberspace and often at themost inopportune time, ruiningthat job or promotion theyworked so hard for. Skeletonshave a way of falling out thecloset.
We grew up in a different time.Most parents want their childrento be brighter, smarter and bet-ter educated than they were,simply because it will take thatmuch more knowledge andmoney to support them throughlife in the manner they wouldlike. I’d like to share some greatwisdom that my mother gave me:
1. I cannot stand between youand what will hurt you as youtravel through life.
2. Think twice before youspeak.
3. Never put anything in writ-ing that will come back to hauntyou.
4. Fools’ names and fools’faces are often seen in publicplaces. — Chicago
Dear Chicago: Excellent ad-vice for everyone. Thank you.

LOS ANGELES — The cine-matic landscape is littered withterrible movies based on televi-sion shows. From “Leave It toBeaver” and “Bewitched” to “TheDukes of Hazzard” and “Starsky &Hutch,” the vast majority of theseadaptations have not exactly beenmust-sees. And we won’t evenbegin to discuss movies based on“Saturday Night Live” sketches.There simply aren’t enough hoursin the day.
But with “The A-Team” arrivingin theaters this weekend, it’s agood time to ponder some otherprograms that are ready to makethat leap:
■ “Arrested Development.” Oneof the smartest, funniest, most in-ventive shows ever, it barely lastedthree seasons. Critics loved it, fewothers watched it. But whilethere’s been talk of bringing thedysfunctional Bluth family to thebig screen ever since the seriesended in 2006, the project remainsup in the air. David Cross, whoplayed Tobias Funke, said hedoubted it would happen. Will Ar-nett, who played Gob Bluth, saidat the Fox upfront that the movie
would be a go someday, but that anew comedy he’s doing with “Ar-rested Development” creatorMitch Hurwitz was delaying pro-duction. And Jason Bateman, whowas at the center of the family asMichael Bluth, also has said hewas optimistic. If anyone knowsfor sure, we’ll be hanging out bythe banana stand.
■ “The Golden Girls.” Eventhough three of the four stars areno longer with us — Bea Arthur,Estelle Getty and Rue McClana-han — the series’ core conceptand its mix of brash humor andfriendship would seem to be a hitwith moviegoers, especially thoseof a certain age, for whom thepickings are slim at the multiplex.Just think about it: Four olderwomen with distinct personalities,sharing a home in Miami, teasingand sometimes bickering witheach other but remaining loyalthroughout. The racy jokes thatmarked the show’s sense of humorcould be even more daring in filmform. It could also be known by itsalternate title, “Sex and the City3.”
■ “Jeopardy!” There are somany potential benefits here.First, by seeing it repeatedly, youcan look like a total smarty pantsin front of your friends, who willhave no idea you’re just memoriz-ing the answers. Ooh! Sing-alongsto the theme song during the FinalJeopardy round. To make it evenmore interactive, people in the au-dience could throw fries at thescreen whenever Alex Trebek
pronounces a word in show-offy,perfect French. And speaking ofTrebek, there could be flashbacksattached to various questions, re-vealing the path he took to game-show greatness. That’s never beendone before.
■ The “Joan Rivers Classics Col-lection” on QVC.The comedian and“Celebrity Apprentice” winner cantalk, as we know from her catch-phrase. And she’s been peddlingher line of jewelry and accessoriesthrough the home-shopping chan-nel for about 20 years. Wouldn’t itbe more fun to see her sell her stuffwith all the foul-mouthed candor ofher stand-up routine? You couldwatch her work blue as she tries tosell you a turquoise-colored neck-lace and matching earrings. Andthis would be a rare opportunity inwhich you’d be encouraged to useyour cell phone in the theater —‘cause there’d be no way to resistdialing in and making that pur-chase right NOW!
■ “Yule Log.” It’s a Christmas-morning staple at local televisionstations across the country: a shotof a piece of wood, burning in afireplace, for hours on end whiletraditional carols swell in thebackground. Now imagine spend-ing Christmas morning watching iton the big screen. It would seem ...warmer somehow, right? Buy apresent for yourself, sneak a littleeggnog in, maybe even make somenew friends. Best of all, you get toescape your in-laws while still en-joying all the comforts of the holi-day.

966-0611 DAILY CRNPUBLIC NOTICE
In accordance with the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (33 USC S/S 2714(c)) (“OPA”), please be advised of the following information:
A well, which is located in Mississippi Canyon Block 252 in the Gulf of Mexico and had been drilled by the mobile offshore drilling unit DEEPWATER HORIZON, has been named as the source of an oil discharge that commenced around 10:00 pm CDT on or about April 20, 2010. This spill impacted the Mississippi Canyon area, and contin-ues to potentially affect the Gulf Coast of the United States. As the spill is ongoing, the quantity of oil involved is undetermined.
BP Exploration & Production Inc. (“BP Exploration”) is accepting claims for certain un-compensated damages and removal costs caused by the spill. Costs and damages that may be compensated pursuant to OPA include removal costs; damage to or loss to real or personal property; loss of subsistence use of natural resources; loss of government revenues; loss of profits and earnings capacity; and damages for net costs of providing increased public services.
BP Exploration has established a toll-free, hotline number for claims: 1-800-440-0858.This hotline is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
The claims procedure is as follows: Personnel at the call center will provide each caller with information on how to submit a claim. Each claim will be assigned to an adjuster, and the claim will be promptly investigated and evaluated. Claims for lost income or lost profits will be evaluated promptly. The adjuster will require some sub-stantiation of income impacted by the spill, but will make reasonable effort to keep the documentation requirements to a minimum. Reasonable effort will also be made to act on lost income claims within 48 hours of receipt. Larger and more com-plex claims may require additional investigation and documentation prior to evalua-tion and resolution. Resolved claims will be paid promptly.
Claims may be presented for interim, short-term damages representing less than the full amount to which the claimant ultimately may be entitled. Please note that pay-ment of such claims shall not preclude recovery for damages not reflected in the paid or settled partial claims.
Any claims that are denied or that are not resolved within 90 days after the date of submission to the BP Exploration claims representative may be submitted to the US COAST GUARD STOP 7100 (ca), 4200 Wilson Boulevard, Suite 1000, Arlington, Virginia 20598-7100 for consideration.
