Commission Calls for MLK Statue's Redesign
The sculpture of Martin Luther King Jr. intended for a memorial on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., is too "confrontational," according to the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts. The commission's approval is necessary for any monument or memorial in the capital. The commission says the sculpture needs to be reworked.

Myanmar Keeps Relief Workers at Bay
After almost a week of refusal following a deadly cyclone, Myanmar has agreed to allow one U.S. cargo plane to make a delivery of aid. The government there is still refusing entry to worldwide aid agencies. Gordon Bacon of the International Rescue Committee is one of the few who have been able to enter the country.

Timberlake: Refresher course
More than 70 new owners took to the Timberlake golf course near Chapin with yard tools instead of clubs Friday.The landscaping started a face-lift of the course by adjoining homeowners who bought it May 1 to protect it from development.Those who pruned bushes, weeded sand traps and planted flowers around tees called their work the first step in making the purchase pay off.“It was looking a little shabby,” said Phil Baker, one of nearly 300 buyers. “It’s not a pristine course like the pros play. Eventually, it’d be nice to be like that.”The $3 million purchase of the 143.5-acre course is a safe bet, others said.

Obama edges closer with S.C. superdelegate support

Hillary Clinton in superdelegates.State Democratic Party vice chairman and retired Lexington County trucker Wilber Lee Jeffcoat announced he would support Obama. Jeffcoat is one of roughly 800 party leaders who are independent presidential delegates, the so-called superdelegates.Jeffcoat was among at least nine superdelegates who joined Obama on Friday, putting the senator from Illinois in a virtual tie with Clinton for the number of superdelegates according to The Associated Press’ count. ABC News reported Obama had taken the lead among superdelegates. CNN reported Clinton still had a slight lead.Clinton also gained two superdelegates.The developments left the former first lady with 272.5 superdelegates, to 271 for Obama. Little more than four months ago, on the eve of the primary season, she held a lead of 169-63.
