Obama to young:
Aspire to surpass
your role models
PHILIP ELLIO'IT
Associated Press
Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) -
President Barack Obama
is telling the nation's old-
est civil rights organiza-
tion that government,
families and neighbor-
hoods must work together
to improve communities.
Obama also planned
to urge young people to
aspire to surpass their
role models and resist the
lure of mediocrity dur-
ing a speech Thursday to
the NAACP. White House
aides said the president
did not intend to intro-
duce new programs or
policy, instead striking an
inspirational tone as the
civil rights group gathers
for its 100th annual con-
vention.
Obama, the first black
president, plans to take a
restrained tone during his
evening remarks instead
of a raucous celebration ot
his history-making cam-
paign, officials said before
lie flew to New York.
White House aides sought
to play down the expecta-
tions of the speech, the
first so directly linked
with race since Obama
took office.
"1 think the first speech
to black America, the
first speech to white
America, the first speech
to America was the inau-
gural address," White
House spokesman Robert
Gibbs told reporters on
Wednesday.
Implicit in the appear-
ance, Obama is seeking
the backing of the power-
ful NAACP and its mem-
bers for his ambitious
domestic agenda. For all
their shared interests,
White House aides cau-
tioned that the group's
leadership had not guar-
anteed its support of all of
Obama's priorities.
"We will be the people
at the end of the day who
help make him do what
he knows he should do.
We will help create the
room for (Obama) to
fulfill, 1 think, his own
aspirations for his presi-
dency," NAACP President
Benjamin Jealous told
The Associated Press in
an interview earlier this
year.
"If he aspires to be the
next Abraham Lincoln, I
aspire to be his Frederick
Douglass," Jealous said,
referring to the slave-
turned-abolitionist who
pressed a cautious Lincoln
to issue the Emancipation
Proclamation.
Every president since
nominations with 22 bids
1909 has visited the
NAACP at least once,
although some more
frequently than others.
President George W.
Bush skipped the first five
meetings before eventual-
ly addressing the group in
2006. For Obama, skip-
ping his first invitation
and the centennial festivi-
ties was not an option.
White I louse aides said
Obama's speech would
celebrate the organiza-
tion’s history and briefly
touch on the debate about
what thi1 NAACP's next
century should bring.
Jealous has pushed his
organization to expand its
civil rights work beyond
black causes to broader
human rights. Some
members of his organiza-
tion have resisted, arguing
that much work remains
to create racial equality in
this country.
"The president being
black gives us no advan-
tage," Jealous told the
AP.
"Our agenda as we head
into our second century as
a civil rights organization
is also to revive our legacy
as a human rights organi-
zation," he said.
White House aides
cautioned that Obama
wouldn't wade too deep-
ly into those decisions,
aware his role was not to
dictate the organization's
mission but to celebrate
it. Instead, he would seek
to reinforce the early piec-
es of an urban agenda he
outlined Monday.
"1 think black America
has watched this president
work on the economy,"
Gibbs said. "I think black
America has watched this
president work on health
care — an issue of great
concern — (and) educa-
tion."

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Tina Fey's satire-rich sitcom,
"30 Rock," received a leading 22 Emmy Award nomina-
tions Thursday, while the '60s retro series, "Mad Men,"
led the drama pack with 16 bids.
The shows were honored last year as best comedy and
drama and have a chance to repeat the performance at
September's awards.
The TV movies "Grey Gardens," with 17 nominations,
and "Into the Storm," with 14 nods, were among the
front-runners. Chandra Wilson of "Grey Anatomy's"
and Jim Parsons of "The Big Bang Theory" helped make
the announcement at the TV academy's theater — and
both proved to be among the lucky.
"No! ... This is some sort of trick fest," said Parsons,
when his nomination for lead actor in a comedy series
for the CBS show was announced.
"I feel a little dream like right now," Parsons said later
about his first-time Emmy nomination.
"I'm going to the party" was Wilson's response to her
bid for outstanding lead actress in a miniseries or movie
for "Accidental Friendship." She was also nominated
for outstanding supporting actress in a drama series for
"Grey's Anatomy."
The number of contenders in series and acting cat-
egories were expanded this year, which may have
allowed room for some unexpected bids, including a
rare best-comedy series nomination for an animated
series, "Family Guy."
The series fields are especially crowded, with seven
contenders in both drama and comedy categories.
Joining "Mad Men" are fellow cable dramas "Big Love,"
"Breaking Bad," "Damages" and "Dexter." Two network
dramas, "House" and "Lost," also made the cut.
Among comedies, the nominees besides "30 Rock"
and "Family Guy" include other network series "How
1 Met Your Mother" and "The Office." Cable contend-
ers include "Entourage," "Flight of the Conchords" and
"Weeds."
In announcing that the traditional five nominees
would grow to six in top categories, the TV academy
noted that a tie could expand the field even more.
Affection was scarce for series that came to an end
last season, including long-running medical drama
"ER," "Boston Legal" and "Battlestar Galactica." There
was a scattering of nominations among them, but noth-
ing in the marquee categories of acting or best series.
Another just-ended series, "The Shield," was shut out.
Also snubbed for major awards were "Desperate
Housewives" and "Jon & Kate Plus 8," left out of the
reality series category. Top-rated TV show "American
Idol" is a contender in the reality-competition cat-
egory.
NBC found little glory in its late-night lineup, with
.Jay Leno's final season with "Tonight" and Conan
O'Brien's farewell season of "Late Night" missing from
the variety, music or comedy series category. O'Brien
took over "Tonight" this year.
Vampire saga "True Blood" and its star Anna Paquin,
who won a Golden Globe earlier this year, were shut out
of the major categories.
Academy voters have a history of slighting sci-fi and
fantasy series, dating bac k to "Star Trek" and including
"Buffv the Vampire Slayer."
Fey, the executive producer as well as star of "30
Rock," had a chance to repeat as lead actress in a
comedy series. Other contenders in the category are
Christina Applegate for the canceled "Samantha Who?",
Toni Collette for "United States of Tara," Julia Louis-
Dreyfus for "The New Adventures of Old Christine,"
Mary-Louise Parker for "Weeds" and Sarah Silverman
for "The Sarah Silverman Program."
Joining last year's winner Alec Baldwin of "30 Rock"
and Parsons in the comedy category for lead actor is
Steve Carell of "The Office," Jemaine Clement of "Flight
of the Conchords," Tony Shalhoub of "Monk" and
Charlie Sheen of "Two and a Half Men."
Lead acting nominations for drama series went to last
year's winner, Bryan Cranston of "Breaking Bad," along
with Michael C. Hall, "Dexter"; Hugh Laurie, "House";
Gabriel Byrne, "In Treatment"; .Jon Hamm, "Mad
Men"; and Simon Baker, "The Mentalist."
Glenn Close's performance in "Damages," which won
her an Emmy last year, received a bid again. Also earn-
ing nominations were Sally Field, "Brothers & Sisters";
Kyra Sedgwick, "The Closer"; Mariska Hargitay, "Law
& Order: Special Victims Unit" Elisabeth Moss, "Mad
Men"; and Holly Hunter, "Saving Grace."
JPMorgan 2Q profit jumps
36 pet, topping forecasts
I EVA M. AUGSTUMS
AP Business Writer
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - JPMorgan Chase & Co.
posted a second quarter profit of $2.72 billion, a 36 per-
cent jump that easily surpassed expectations as strength
in its core consumer and investment banking businesses
offset a jump in credit losses.
Shares of the New York-based banking giant fell 1 per-
cent in premarket trading to $35-90.
JPMorgan, the second big financial institution in a
week to release upbeat earnings news, reported net
income of $2.72 billion, or 28 cents per share, up 36
percent from $2 billion, or 53 cents per share, a year
earlier. Revenue rose 39 percent to $25.62 billion from
$18.4 billion.
Earnings per share fell despite an increase in profit
because the company had more stock outstanding in the
most recent quarter ending June 30.
Analysts forecast earnings of 4 cents per share on rev-
enue of $25.89 billion for the quarter.
The profit came despite a $1.1 billion charge, or 27
cents a share, as JPMorgan repaid in full $25 billion
in loans it received from the government as part of the
Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP. I’he bank was
also hit by a 10-cents-a-share FDIC special assessment
penalty.
CEO Jamie Dimon said he was "pleased" by the
results, even as the company's latest numbers were
weighed down by higher credit costs, particularly in
the company's consumer lending and credit card busi-
nesses.
Results were driven by record investment banking
fees and revenue in fixed income markets, much like
rival Goldman Sachs Group Inc., which reported strong
earnings on Tuesday. At JPMorgan’s investment bank,
revenue jumped 33 percent to $7.3 billion. The seg-
ment's profit more than tripled to $1.5 billion.
But that was offset by credit costs that remain high
in consumer lending and card services. The bank said
it set aside $9.7 billion for credit losses, up from $4.29
billion a year earlier but down from the first quarter's
$10 billion.
Dimon said the company expects credit costs to
"remain elevated for the foreseeable future."
Still, the company has continued to lend, Dimon said.
JPMorgan said it extended $150 billion in new credit
to consumers, corporations, small businesses, munici-
palities and ion-profits and has approved 138,000 trial
mortgage modifications in the quarter, bringing total
foreclosures prevented since 2007 to 565,000.
"Throughout this crisis, we have remained committed
to doing our part to help bring stability to the commu-
nities in which we operate and to the financial system
overall," Dimon said.
