By KIM COOK FOr the aSSOciated PreSS

Texan collector and decorator Andrea Reed grew up in a home filled with Pop Art, but it was the film “Tommy” that really made a lasting impression.

In particular, a scene where Tommy’s mother (played by AnnMargret) sings “in an all-white room with a white ball chair. I was forever hooked,” says Reed.

She and her husband have painted their own living room six times, plucking from the Pantone candy box of orange, blue and pinky-purple. Other parts of the house also have received the Pop Art treatment, including the kitchen, which has a rainbow on the pantry. With a white Fiberglass sofa, ball chair a la “Men in Black,” and zingy graphics throughout the house, Reed’s on top of a trend that swings in and out like a “Solid Gold” dancer.

With our continued interest in mid-century decor, it’s no surprise to see Pop Art back for a visit.

Pop Art was a major mover in late ’60s and ’70s decor. The space race inspired futuristic furnishings, and designers were influenced by a generation experimenting with free-spirited ideas. Think of Roy Lichtenstein’s blown-up comic book art; “2001: A Space Odyssey;” Andy Warhol’s Campbell’s soup can. The style is characterized by emphatic colors, strong graphics and bold furniture.

There are many ways to add a bit of “pop” to your rooms with furniture, accent pieces and color.

Don’t worry about kitsch; this is all about being fun and fresh.

CB2 has the Sol pendant lamp, a sleek white globe with a sunny yellow interior. Add Inmod’s curvy Aarnio-style ball chair, Sputnik light fixture and a bigger-thanlife wall graphic and you’re well on your way to putting the word “mod” back in your vocabulary.

Design Toscano has a flirty, lip-shaped chair in red, and Innermost’s Kapow pendant light is a groovy tangle of white spirals.

Dezignwithaz.com has wall decals in squares or circles that evoke ’70s style.

Or consider comic book art: It complements this decor well with intense hues and lively imagery.

British decoupage artist Amelia Coward covers home acces-

sories and chairs in comic book pages, and will do custom projects through her Bombus studio.

Surfaceview, also in the United Kingdom, will ship a ready-toframe or ready-framed repro art panel from a vintage comic; Silver Surfer, The Hulk and romance comics are striking. Add a playful element to adult spaces with Roommates’ giant Iron Man decal, or a mural composed of dozens of Marvel comic book covers.

Two’s Company launched a fun collection of Pop Art accessories this summer. They include comicbook alliterative words like “Pow!” and “Wham!” printed on trinket boxes and frames.

Design studio French Bull, known for melamine dishware and coordinating linens in contemporary patterns, has several with a touch of Pop, including Ring, Mosaic and Pink Paisley. They’ve also got a new line of porcelain mugs printed with kicky Pop-Arty astrological motifs.

With shag rugs, hip modern furniture, shots of black and white to punch up the bright hues, and an array of audacious graphics, the groove is right on. So let your inner Austin Powers loose in a room or two this fall. Bam! Zoom!, baby.

RALEIGH — North Carolina residents need to be more careful about what goes in the trash and what goes in the recycling bin.

Under a new state law that went into effect Thursday, plastic bottles are banned from landfills as a way to encourage recycling, build the state’s green industry and reduce trash that winds up in the ground.

“It’s not at all about penalizing people,” said Chris Frazier with the Division of Pollution Prevention and Environmental Assistance, which has been leading a statewide education effort to get the word out about the change.

The bottle ban is one of at least 95 laws that took effect Oct. 1, some designed to help protect more residents from identity theft, foreclosures, property finders and false concert advertising. Nearly all of them were approved by the Legislature this year, but the plastic bottle ban was passed in 2005.

State regulators won’t be going through residents’ refuse to look for recyclable materials. Some municipal sanitation departments, however, say they won’t accept trash that obviously contains the bottles.

“We’ll pick it up and throw it back in your trash can,” said Michael Woodward with the public works department in Washington, N.C., but “we’re not going to try and fine anybody right now.”

The few areas without a local government recycling program are exempt from the rules.

State officials can issue fines of up to $15,000 to trash haulers and landfills for environmental violaPlease see LAWS, page 9A

Granville-Vance Health Department flu clinics open for the season Flu clinics sponsored by the Granville-Vance District Health Department for this season will be held at both the Granville and Vance counties’ health departments from 1-4 p.m. every Friday afternoon beginning Oct. 9. (The health department will be closed Friday, Nov. 27 and Friday, Dec. 25 for the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.)

There is an adequate supply of seasonal flu vaccine this year, so those who would like to wait until November to receive their vaccine should be able to do so. The health department is beginning its flu clinics in October in order to have the ability to accommodate the volume of people needing vaccination. In addition to the flu vaccine, the health department will be offering the pneumonia vaccine to those who have never had one and are over age 65, and to those who have

chronic illnesses.

Dr. W. Rodwell Drake Jr. encourages those at the highest risk for complications from the flu to get their vaccines first. These groups are children aged six months through 18 years of age, pregnant women, people 50 years old and over, people of any age with chronic medical conditions, and people living in nursing homes and other long-term care facilities. Other risk groups include household contacts of those at high risk for complications and household contacts of children less than six months of age. There is also a special emphasis this year to encourage health-care workers to get their flu vaccines.

Although the best way to avoid getting influenza is to receive a flu vaccine, frequent hand washing and covering the mouth when coughing are also ways to reduce the spread

of flu, health officials say.

The cost of the flu vaccine is $32 and the pneumonia vaccine is $50. The health department will accept Medicare Part B (red, white, and blue card) and Medicaid, as well as Blue Cross Blue Shield, and Wellpath for immunizations. Those who want to be immunized are asked to bring an insurance card and wear short sleeves so that they may be served as efficiently as possible.

Anyone with private Medicare, such as Humana or Premier, will need to go to a primary care doctor for the immunization because those organizations will not reimburse the health department. Children aged six months through 18 years of age who qualify through the universal vaccine program may receive their vaccine at no cost.

Medicare Part B reimbursement for the flu vaccine is just over $32 and federal regulations require

that the health department charge non-Medicare B recipients no less than the amount received from Medicare, which mandates the $32 charge for all other adults.

If the new H1N1 influenza vaccine is approved for use, it is expected to be available in limited amounts in mid- to lateOctober. The vaccine will be prioritized at first to the highest risk groups, which will be different than the high risk groups for seasonal flu, until enough vaccine is available to immunize all who would like to receive it.

Two vaccinations separated by three to four weeks will probably be required.

The H1N1 vaccine, if approved for use, will be available at primary care provider offices, as well as other usual sites just as the seasonal flu vaccines will be.

Arthritis exercise classes scheduled at senior center The Vance County Senior Center will offer an eight-week exercise class beginning Friday, Oct. 9, from 10-11 a.m. which is designed specifically for those who suffer with arthritis.

There are four common types of arthritis — osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia and osteoporosis. October is World Osteoporosis Awareness Month and in recognition of the month,

Tina Hunter, 61, a substitute teacher for Granville County Schools, and Tammy Sue Lightfoot, 45, a personnel manager for Walmart.

The contest for council positions are as follows: • Ward 1: Incumbent Mary Emma Evans is being challenged by Cathy Ringley.

Evans, 64, is a minister and a retired Sprint telephone company employee whose tenure on the council dates back to 2003. Ringley, 51, is a tutor who serves on the Zoning Board of Adjustment.

• Ward 1 At Large: Incumbent Bernard Alston is again being challenged by Sara Coffey.

Alston, 50, whose tenure on the council dates back to 2000, is an educator, but in April 2008 the State Bar suspended his law license for five years because of his mishandling of matters regarding clients. And the Dispatch has noted Alston’s unpaid taxes.

Coffey, 59, is in the bail bonds business and is a member of the Human Relations Commission.

• Ward 2: Incumbent Michael Rainey is being challenged by Lewis Edwards.

Rainey, 58, is president and manager of City Tire and additionally chairman of the Planning Board. Rainey was elected to the Ward 2 At Large council position in 2003, but lost a 2005 reelection bid. In 2007, Rainey won the Ward 2 position by defeating incumbent Bobby Gupton.

Edwards, 62, is retired and is a watchdog of Henderson’s municipal government.

• Ward 2 At Large: Firstterm incumbent Michael Inscoe is being challenged by Lowell West Jr. Inscoe, 60, is a consultant who in 2007 defeated incumbent Lynn Harper.

Additionally, Inscoe serves on the Planning Board.

West, 46, had been the proprietor of Kwik Kash along Dabney Drive, but he and another man, Vincent Shearin, were arrested in Florida. Investigators, posing as illegal drug dealers, had met West and Shearin in a parking lot, where West and Shearin had agreed to purchase cocaine.

West in 2003 was sentenced to 364 days in prison, with 50 days of credit for time served, and had to serve four years of probation. West’s citizenship rights were restored in 2007.

Although Gupton, 71, will

Odd News

be on the ballot as a candidate for the Ward 2 At Large position, he has withdrawn from the contest for health reasons.

• Ward 4 At Large: Incumbent George Daye is being challenged by former Councilman Ranger Wilkerson. Daye is 66.

Wilkerson, 73, is a former Henderson fire chief, is the father of current Henderson Fire Chief Danny Wilkerson and is the father-in-law of Henderson Finance Director Sandra Wilkerson.

Ranger Wilkerson held the Ward 4 At Large position until being defeated by Daye in 2007.

Unopposed are Ward 3 Councilman Garry Daeke, Ward 3 At Large Councilwoman Brenda Peace and Ward 4 Councilman Lonnie Davis.

Daeke, 56, whose tenure on the council dates back to 2005, is development coordinator at FranklinGranville-Vance Partnership for Children.

Peace, 57, is a minister who in 2007 defeated incumbent Elissa Yount.

Davis, 78, whose tenure on the council dates back to 1996, is a retired educator and a retired coach. Davis doubles as Henderson’s mayor pro tem.

The Black Caucus, in addition to endorsing Somerville for mayor in Tuesday’s election, is supporting the same list of council candidates as in 2007: Evans; Alston; Rainey; Inscoe; Daye; Daeke; Peace; and Davis.

In 2007, all eight council positions, as well as the mayor’s position, went to candidates associated to one degree or another with the “New Direction” movement backed by local businessmen that included Cliff Rogers and Sam Watkins.

City Manager Jerry Moss resigned two days after that election. Ed Wyatt, retired manager of Wilson’s government, was eventually brought in to serve as Henderson’s interim manager.

The council in July 2008 hired Ray Griffin as manager.

Henderson is the only municipality in the Tri-County area that will be having an election on Tuesday. Voters in Kittrell, Middleburg and the municipalities of Granville and Warren counties will be going to the polls on Nov. 3.

Woman fined when daughter, 12, drives GREAT FALLS, Montana (AP) — A woman accused of letting her 12-year-old daughter drive three siblings to day care has been fined nearly $1,000.

Angela Parenteau entered a no contest plea to one count of criminal endangerment Thursday in Municipal Court in Great Falls, KFBB-TV reported. Three other criminal endangerment charges were dropped under a plea agreement.

Prosecutors say in March, Parenteau allowed her daughter drive three younger siblings from their house in Vaughn to a day care about 15 miles away in Great Falls.

Police say Parenteau claimed she was too sick to drive and on medication.

The state said it agreed to the plea agreement because the 12-year-old girl did not want to testify against her mother.

Twenty-four-year-old Terrance McCoy was sentenced Friday to two to 10 years in prison.

RIVERTON, Wyo. (AP) — Wyoming police say an 11-year-old boy led law enforcement on a high speed chase reaching up to 100 miles per hour.

The chase started about 3 a.m. Wednesday at Riverton in central Wyoming. It ended about 50 miles away near Crowheart on the Wind River Reservation, where police managed to corner the car. The driver then tried to flee on foot, but officers managed to catch him — only to find the suspect was a child.

The boy was taken into custody by the Wind River Police Department, which is handling the investigation.

No other details were available.

The Wind River Police Department referred calls about the incident to the Bureau of Indian Affairs. No one at the BIA was immediately available to comment Thursday.

Police say McCoy dined with the 27-year-old woman on April 24 at a restaurant in Ferndale. The woman told investigators McCoy said he forgot his wallet in her car and asked for the keys. Police say McCoy then took off in the car.

Defense attorney Terri Antisdale says McCoy is a “very nice man who made a bad decision.”

Xerox to buy ACS in $6 billion deal

By ANDREW VANACORE AP Business Writer

NEW YORK — Xerox Corp. said Monday it will buy Affiliated Computer Services Inc. for about $6.4 billion in cash and stock, joining the expensive race among technology companies to broaden their offerings.

Xerox said the deal will create a $22 billion business that combines Xerox’s copiers, printers and document management services with the “business process outsourcing” of Dallas-based ACS. Outsourcers like ACS take on tasks for other companies, such as helping to manage payroll or run health care plans.

ACS operates a facility in Henderson.

The move takes Xerox deeper into the back-office operations of its customers with the kind of acquisition that is popping up more and more as technology companies add a greater variety of equipment and services under a single tent.

Last week Dell Inc. said it would buy Perot Systems Corp. for $3.9 billion, kickstarting an informationtechnology services business for the company. That comes a year after rival HewlettPackard Co. expanded its own services business with the $13.9 billion buyout of Electronic Data Systems Corp.

Part of the logic behind such deals is to acquire companies that have tighter relationships with their customers because they provide more critical services, said Craig Le Clair, an analyst with Forrester Research. Businesses have more at stake outsourcing their payroll or accounting systems than buying copiers or personal computers. And companies that provide those services end up with steady revenue streams from multiyear contracts.

ACS, a $6.5 billion company with about 74,000 employees and profit of $350 million in its last fiscal year, offers a range of services, such as helping companies manage health care plans and accounting. It has customers in government, transportation, health care and retail.

By buying ACS, Xerox sees a way to boost profits and expand the roles it can play in

assisting clients with running their businesses.

ACS’s chief executive, Lynn Blodgett, offered automated toll collection as an example. For E-Z Pass, the electronic toll system, ACS gathers images of cars passing through tollbooths and has employees record license plate numbers manually for processing payments. Xerox has image-recognition technology that could automate that process and might take it a step further, checking whether a car’s registration is up to date.

Although still profitable, Xerox has been hurt by the slowdown in business spending during the recession.

Apart from selling printers and copiers, Xerox leases equipment and charges for supplies and helps companies manage their documents.

Xerox said buying ACS will triple its services revenue to an estimated $10 billion next year.

In a conference call with analysts, Xerox Chief Financial Officer Larry Zimmerman said only about 20 percent of ACS and Xerox customers overlap, meaning the companies will have an opportunity to sell those clients more products. In particular, Xerox hopes to expand the overseas reach of ACS, which does more than 90 percent of its business in the U.S. ACS stockholders will receive $18.60 per share in cash plus 4.935 Xerox shares for each ACS share they own.

Xerox, based in Norwalk, Conn., will also take on $2 billion of ACS’s debt and issue $300 million of convertible preferred stock to ACS’s Class B shareholders.

The acquisition is expected to add to adjusted earnings results in the first year. Xerox expects to save $300 million to $400 million in the first three years after the deal closes, which is targeted for the first quarter of 2010.

Verizon fires four after reviewing DMV gifts Editors: All figures as of: 5:25:13 PM EST

NOTE: Figures reflect market fluctuations after close; may not match other AP content

RALEIGH (AP) — Verizon Business fired four employees and disciplined a fifth for violating company rules in the wake of news the telecommunications company may have given meals and gifts to North Carolina state employees.

Multiple media outlets reported Saturday that Verizon took the action after an internal investigation into the handling of its multimilliondollar computing contract with the Division of Motor Vehicles.

The State Bureau of Investigation has been asked to investigate allegations that Verizon gave more than 60 state workers and their associates dinner at restaurants and tickets to pro hockey games and an inaugural ball.

Verizon has a $51.5 million contract to help the DMV with vehicle inspections in North Carolina. The gifts have raised questions about whether the company received preferential treatment to get the state contract, but DMV Commissioner Mike Robertson said there’s been no evidence the meals were a trade for expanding the Verizon contract last year.

The allegations also led Gov. Beverly Perdue on

Thursday to expand a ban on workers receiving state gifts to all employees under her control. But the executive order applies to only Cabinet officials, not to departments led by statewide elected officials, although Purdue did encourage those agencies to adopt the ban.

Robertson said most of the meals listed in documents from Verizon covering nearly the past three years show the company buying deli trays and doughnuts for working lunches at DMV headquarters in Raleigh.

But some documents show Verizon employees took state workers to pricey restaurants, including a trip for 20 to the Angus Barn restaurant in February 2007 at a cost of $781.

The DMV first started working with Verizon in 1997 to create the North Carolina’s automobile emission inspection program. The contract has been amended over the years and was last changed in 2008 for Verizon in part to provide computers to safety inspection stations.

Sunday, October 4, 2009

Sample ballot for Henderson Pictured at left is a sample ballot for Henderson voters living in the North Henderson 1 Precinct.

It is virtually identical to the ballots that will be cast in every other Henderson precinct during Tuesday’s city elections. All voters will have the opportunity to cast a ballot for mayor and for the four at-large alderman (City Council) positions, though in one case, incumbent Brenda Peace is unopposed.

Only the final spot on the ballot, circled at left, will change from precinct to precinct. As pictured, North Henderson 1 voters will cast their ballot to choose the alderman from Ward 1. Other precincts vote on wards 2, 3 and 4 as noted in the “breakouts” below.

Note: Bobby Gupton has withdrawn his candidacy for Ward 2 At-Large due to health reasons, but ballots were already printed.

Some voters in the West Henderson 1 Precinct and all voters in West Henderson 2 vote to elect an alderman to represent Ward 2.

LOOSE DENTURES? HENDERSON FAMILY DENTISTRY Has The Solution For You!

MINI DENTAL IMPLANT SYSTEM How can mini dental implants help denture wearers?

The Mini Dental Implant System calls for four of the 1.8 mm mini dental implants, which are about the size of wooden toothpicks, to be gently placed into the front of the patient’s lower jaw. It is a relatively painless procedure that Dr. Ghodrat can perform, usually only requiring a mild anesthesia. Your denture is then carefully adjusted by the dentist to allow it to snap onto the four mini implants. The result? A tight fitting, completely reliable system, that allows you to speak and eat with confidence. All performed in less than two hours, then you may go out and enjoy your favorite lunch.

My Hospital Stephanie Strother FOR digital mammOgRaphy

“As a woman and a MRI technologist at granville medical Center, I’m excited to see how our new digital mammography is improving the lives of our patients. I am also very proud that my hospital was the first in our service area to incorporate the innovative technology of digital mammography.

With our new digital mammography system, there’s no waiting for film to be developed and it uses much less radiation than conventional mammograms. Digital images are immediately available and can be shared with multiple physicians almost instantly.

Our technologists can evaluate digital images as they’re taken, simultaneously adjusting view points on the system.

That means women who choose Granville Health System for their mammograms spend less time in the exam room.” gRaNVillE hEalth SyStEm

LAWS, from page one tions. But Paul Crissman, chief of the solid waste section of the Division of Waste Management, said his office is using education and technical assistance with trash transporters to encourage compliance.

North Carolina currently recovers less than 20 percent of the plastic bottles generated in the state, the division said. More bottles recovered will feed North Carolina’s emerging plastic recycling plants.

The change also will help the state reach toward a goal of recycling 2 million tons of all materials by 2012. In 2007, recycling reached 1.35 million tons.

Another law thta took effect Thursday could give more homeowners who are delinquent on their mortgages more time to keep their residences. Clerks of court now will have authority to postpone a foreclosure hear-

ing for up to 60 days to allow a homeowner more time to work out a payment plan with the mortgage holder.

It’s intended to help more homeowners in traditional mortgages at risk of losing their homes because they have lost their jobs and can’t make the payments, Deputy Banking Commissioner Mark Pearce said. A law that took effect last year gave the commissioner authority to attempt to stop foreclosures of homes with subprime mortgages.

“It’s just one more tool in the tool kit to make sure nobody falls through the cracks,” Pearce said in an interview.

Attorney General Roy Cooper backed the foreclosure law, as well as new legislation that allows consumers to place a security freeze on their credit reports for free with an online request.

Before Thursday, con-

sumer reporting agencies had been able to charge up to $10. They will still be able to charge up to $3 if the request is done by phone or mail.

Another new law will protect individuals from getting ripped off by companies that help recover cash or property they had forgotten about and left with an office or the courts, State Treasurer Janet Cowell said.

In some instances, Cowell said, property finders have charged up to 50 percent or more of the value of the forgotten property. The new law limits the finders fee to the lesser of $1,000 or 20 percent of the property’s value. The company also must reveal that Cowell’s office is holding the property, like an old insurance policy or utility deposit.

Other bills which were approved this year and took effect Thursday: • Could slap musicians

with penalties of up to $15,000 from concertgoers because if they use a musical group’s name without the original group’s permission. The “truth-in-music” advertising bill is designed to prevent musicians from marketing themselves as a well-known band even if no original group members appear.

• Prohibit the sale of foreign-made novelty lighters that are attractive to children because they can be shaped like cell phones, cartoon characters and toy rifles.

• Double, from six years to 12 years, the amount of time people can take to sue over a consumer product that allegedly injured them or their loved ones.

• Narrow the period in which scorned spouses can sue and collect damages for stolen affection and adultery.

Healthy Moment

Early Care of Pregnancy is Important In spite of the excitement of becoming pregnant, many women do not seek medical care as soon as they should. However, there are many reasons for seeing your doctor as soon as possible. It is very early in the pregnancy that the major risk of complications occur.

These complications include both accidental harm to the developing baby, such as from exposure to x-rays, infections or medicines, and unavoidable complications, such as miscarriages and tubal pregnancies. Your doctor can advise you about the risks of medicines, alcohol, tobacco, caffeine and other substances.

These can be harmful, especially if taken in the first few months of the pregnancy. Early on, the doctor will prescribe vitamins which will provide extra nutrition to the mother and the developing baby. Iron is important, and folic acid helps prevent the risk of defects of the brain and spinal cord. Many medical problems which may affect a pregnancy can be discovered early and treated to help avoid the potential complications they carry. These illnesses include diabetes, anemia, high blood pressure and hereditary illnesses. Early and regular prenatal care will give you the healthiest baby possible. It is even wise to have an exam and discuss potential risks with your doctor before conceiving.

Keeping you informed....

Daily Meditation And ye shall be holy unto me: for I the Lord am holy, and have severed you from other people, that ye should be mine.

Leviticus 20:26

Our Opinion

What day is Election Day? This off-year election process is confusing, at least if you judge by the fact that we at the Dispatch have misreported it twice.

We have it right today, and have reported it correctly in the past at times, as well. But in looking back at prior coverage for a couple of sentences typed into a story on Saturday, the story we found to reference was the old (wrong) one and repeated the mistake.

So in case you’re still uncertain about the dates when you, in your Vance County town, will go to the polls, here’s the bottom line.

Only Henderson residents vote on Tuesday.

Voters in Middleburg and Kittrell, who also are electing town leaders this fall, will cast their ballots in November.

Thankfully, Faye Gill and her staff at the Vance County Board of Elections have it all under control. But as confusing as it’s obviously been to us, we wonder why Vance County chooses to do it this way.

Early voting has taken place. Now Henderson votes on Tuesday (the first Tuesday of October), while the other towns wait to vote until the first Tuesday in November (as God intended).

Gill and staff will have to come in on Tuesday night to count Henderson ballots. They’ll work another night shift in November to count Kittrell and Middleburg. The potential added cost of being open two nights instead of one might not be all that excessive, and we haven’t asked Ms. Gill if she and her people consider it much of an inconvenience. But it seems like it would be, when the whole job could’ve been done on one night — like usual, in a general election, when there are even more ballots to count because the whole county is voting.

Perhaps the October date for Henderson balloting was set so that any runoffs could be more conveniently conducted and counted, without pushing such a runoff into December. And with five candidates running for mayor this year, clearly runoff races aren’t impossible.

But it seems like the easiest thing would be for Election Day to be on, well, Election Day.

Get a guillotine, Orkin This column was originally published May 4, 2003.

Almost the first thing to happen to me when I moved to South Florida was that I got attacked by a fire ant.

This was my own stupid fault: I sat on my lawn.

I thought this was safe because I was from Pennsylvania, where lawns are harmless ecosystems consisting of 93 percent crab grass; 6 percent real grass; and 1 percent cute little critters such as worms, ladybugs and industrious worker ants who scurry around carrying objects that are 800 times their own weight. (They don’t use these objects; they just carry them around. That’s how industrious they are.) Your South Florida lawn, on the other hand, is a seething mass of carnivorous organisms, including land crabs, alligators, snakes ranging in thickness from “knitting needle” to “thigh of Rush Limbaugh,” lizards the size of small dogs, and giant hairy spiders that appear to have recently eaten small dogs and are now wearing their pelts as trophies.

But the scariest South Florida lawn-dweller is the fire ant, a quarter-inch-long

insect that can easily defeat a full-grown human in handto-hand combat. That’s what happened to me. I sat on my lawn, put my hands down and YOW a fire ant — let’s call him Arnie — injected me with his Special Recipe fireDave ant venom, Barry and then Tribune Media watched, Services with a merry twinkle in each of his 5,684 eyes, as I leaped up and danced wildly around, brushing uselessly at my hand, which felt as though I had stuck it into a toasteroven set on “pizza.” I’m sure the other ants had a hearty laugh when Arnie got back to the colony and communicated this story by releasing humor pheromones (“Then this MORON puts his HAND down!

Yes! On the LAWN! Ha ha!

Must be from Pennsylvania.”).

That happened 17 years ago, and my hand just recently finished healing. So I was excited when I read a story in the Miami Herald about a U.S.

Department of Agriculture program, right in my neighborhood, to control fire ants by releasing a wondrous little creature called the decapitating phorid fly. This fly kills fire ants via a method that, if insects wrote horror novels, would have been dreamed up by the fire-ant Stephen King.

What happens is the female phorid fly swoops in on a fire ant and, in less than a second, injects an egg into the ant’s midsection. When the egg hatches, the maggot crawls up inside the ant, and — here is the good part — eats the entire contents of the ant’s head. This poses a serious medical problem for the ant, which, after walking around for a couple of weeks with its insides being eaten, has its head actually fall off. At that point, it becomes a contestant on “The Bachelorette.”

No, seriously, at that point the ant is deceased. Meanwhile, inside the detached head, the maggot turns into a fly, and, when it’s ready, crawls out and goes looking for more ants.

On a recent Friday, I went to watch University of Florida Extension Agent Adrian Hunsberger and Miami-Dade County biologist Ruben

Regalado release phorid flies on the grounds of Baptist Hospital in Kendall. To start the procedure, Ruben stuck a shovel into a fire-ant mound and turned over a bunch of dirt. Immediately, fire ants charged out and began scurrying angrily around.

“They’re looking for whoever disturbed their mound,” said Adrian.

“I had nothing to do with disturbing your mound,” I shouted at the ants. “Ruben disturbed your mound. I am here as a journalist.”

While the mound was swarming, Adrian opened a vial and released a bunch of phorid flies. The flies, which are almost invisible — little swooping specks — immediately went after the ants. At least the female flies did. Presumably, the males, observing the Universal Guy Top Priority, tried to mate with the females.

Anyway, I think it’s a terrific idea, using natural enemies to attack fire ants. To the Department of Agriculture, I say: Good work! To the female phorid flies, I say: You go, girls! And to any fire ants that happen to be crawling on this column, I say: “Remember, I did not disturb your mound.”

Letters Give us one government To the editor: Back in the late ’60s and early ’70s, there existed a situation between the Henderson City School Board and the Vance County School Board that is very similar to what we now find existing between the Henderson City Council and the Vance County Board of Commissioners; two school boards trying to operate two groups of schools in the same county.

At the same time there were strong differences of opinion among the citizens of the county and the city about the quality of the curriculum in the schools as well as the physical facilities themselves. Factor into this situation that both systems, city and county, were under a mandate from the federal department of health, education, and welfare to integrate the schools and you can see what a volatile situation both school boards were facing.

As I recall, there was a feeling among the general population that these school problems affected all the population of the county and that they could be best be resolved by all the people — a united or combined school system. Ultimately a referendum was held and the majority of the people of the county voted to have the two school system merged into one.

I have been told that I am the only person to have served on all three school boards; Henderson City School Board; The Henderson-Vance County School Board and the present Vance County Board of Education. (And I believe this is correct). I can truthfully say I have never worked with a finer group of people.

They were focused on what their tasks were; not simply to merge the city/county schools, but to integrate the schools as required by the Department of Health, Education and Welfare. In so

doing, it was our belief that our young people would get a much better education in the finest facilities we could afford.

Why am I taking all this time to recount the problems we had with our school system some 40 years ago? It is simply because I believe we can learn from this.

We are having a similar problem with our two governing bodies; the Henderson City Council and the Vance County Commissioners. Before the merger of the two county school systems, our students were being served by two different government entities. Now we have one school board that is responsible for giving all students the same educational opportunities.

I strongly believe that before we start making big plans for the future of Vance County, we should get everyone on the same track. We can’t seem to get across the idea to the people that if you live in Henderson, you also live in Vance County.

Most of the services in Vance County are available to everybody; and if they are not, we should begin immediately to work toward that end. It may take a little time, but if we can get one governing body who can focus on our real needs without worrying about how we are going to split the cost, we will be well on our way toward making Henderson a better place in which to live and work.

John A. Rainey, Henderson

Many thanks from United Way of Vance County To the editor: On behalf of the United Way of Vance County Volunteer Center, we would like to thank the community for its wonderful support of our Annual School Supply Donation Drive for needy students in our local public schools.

During such a difficult economic time for our citizens, so many have opened their hearts to help children who cannot afford to purchase the basic supplies they need for school.

Within the next several days, personnel in the Vance County Schools’ Purchasing and Distribution Center will deliver the thousands of pieces of school supplies donated to our 16 public schools. Identified students in elementary, middle and high schools will receive the donated supplies.

School counselors are working with teachers to identify students who need the supplies the most. Once supplies are received at a school, counselors and teachers will work together to ensure the donations go to the appropriate children.

Some items donated in huge quantities, like notebook paper, pencils and crayons, will be left in classrooms for students to use as they need them during the school day.

We cannot thank our community members enough for their great generosity! There are many people, organizations and businesses to thank. Without their help and support, our annual campaign would not have been successful in helping our students.

We especially want to thank Chick-fil-A of Henderson for allowing us to have a school supply donation drive in the business’ front parking lot from 7 to 11 a.m. on Friday, August 7, and providing discount coupons to those who contributed. This event served as the “kickoff” for our campaign and enabled our efforts to begin on a very positive note. We also must thank the HendersonVance County Chamber of Commerce and Bill Edwards, president of the chamber, for helping to coordinate and volunteering during the Chickfil-A event. Representatives of the radio stations US98.3 in Oxford, and WIZS-AM 1450

to the

Editor

in Henderson, also were kind enough to support the event by offering two hours each of live remote broadcasts to promote the event and attract contributors to our donation site.

Several donation boxes were placed in a variety of locations throughout Henderson for our School Supply Donation Drive during late August and early September. We want to thank these locations and their employees and visitors for donating supplies for children.

These include: the City of Henderson Municipal Offices; CVS Pharmacy; George’s restaurant; Kennametal, Inc.; M.R. Williams Inc.; Maria Parham Medical Center; Rose Oil Company; Saint Gobain Containers Inc.; Partnership for Children (Smart Start); Variety Stores Inc. Corporate Offices; Vance County Schools’ Administrative Services Center; Walmart Distribution Center; and Walgreen Drug Stores.

A special thank you also must go to retirees from Embarq and members of the Henderson Institute Alumni Association for their very generous donations of school supplies.

We must issue a huge thank you to George Watkins of Rose Oil Company, who donated hundreds of dollars of new school supplies to our campaign and sought donations from other businesses and organizations including the Henderson Rotary Club.

These all were truly wonderful and compassionate gestures from our community and the end result will put smiles on our students’ faces when they receive their new school supplies!

Thank you all so much!

Nancy Gray, Executive Director United Way of Vance County Terri Hedrick, President United Way of Vance County Volunteer Center Advisory Board

THE DAILY DISPATCH • SUNDAY, OCTOBER 4, 2009 • 11A

Please

Re-elect

Pete O’Geary Mayor of Henderson

✭ Committed ✭ Dedicated

✭ Dignified ✭ Honorable

With a Vision to Move Our City Forward in a Very Positive and Professional Way. I believe in the City of Henderson and that it can, and must, have a brighter and more prosperous future. I love this city and its people, believe in it and its many opportunities. I want to continue working in partnership with the city council, community partners and staff to improve our city and community by laying solid foundations and initiatives for crime reduction, economic growth, safe and vibrant neighborhoods, improved quality of life and a well respected municipal organization that is administered with sound business-like principles, ethics and integrity. I am seeking re-election as your Mayor because I believe these are the right things to be doing and I want to continue helping this city move forward.

Over the past 20 months, much has been done to lay the solid foundations and initiatives that will help improve our community as I previously mentioned.

Several of which I am most proud include: 1. Strategic Plan: The Council approved the City’s first strategic plan in well over a decade. A Strategic Plan sets the direction in which the city will head and work over the next several years. This plan sets forth 8 strategic objectives that include a) implementing Baldrige quality management principles within city government; b) crime reduction; c) more aggressive economic development, d) aggressive housing; code enforcement; e) maintaining and expanding the City’s infrastructure; f) improving recreational opportunities; g) growing the economy so that the city will have the funding it needs to provide services, and h) developing the City’s workforce.

The Strategic Plan is to be “worked” continuously and updated each year.

2. Improved Inter-Governmental Relations: I want to work more closely with our partners at Vance County government in order to better drive efficiencies and equity in joint programs and service delivery.

3. More Aggressive Economic Development: I am pleased that the City and County came together to reestablish the joint Economic Development Partnership. As the primary municipality and utility provider, the City MUST be an active partner in developing strategies to grow our economy.

4. Reduced Crime: For the first time in at least five years, Part 1 Crimes showed a 6% decrease in the first six months of 2009 when compared to same period for 2008, 2007, 2006 and 2005.

This is the FIRST time in five years that crime has shown a downward turn. We must work to keep the trend coming down.

5. Grants: The City secured grants in excess of $6.5M in FY09. This is equivalent to 76 cents on the property tax rate.

6. City Hall: Moving City Hall back downtown was a significant step in putting the seat of City government back downtown in proximity to its other services as well as and County and State government services.

7. Infrastructure: Plans are well underway to obtain permits for expanding the water plant, repairing the sewer collection system, and widening Beckford Drive.

If re-elected as Mayor, my plans are: 1. To continue to “work” the Strategic Plan and keep it updated and current with

the business needs and future focus of Henderson, and more importantly, to implement the Plan’s goals and action plans.

2. To continue efforts to reduce crime and make Henderson a safer community by supporting the Police Chief and Department by adopting new ordinances working with the community as needed, via partnerships to create an attitude that crime is not acceptable in our city, to find ways to mitigate the root causes of crime and to support community watch efforts, weed and seed, etc.

3. To be more aggressive with Economic Development by working with our partners and community to develop a multi-focused strategy that will focus on creating new jobs, develop and grow small business, expand our commercial services and retail sector and to re-establish Henderson as a regional center for commerce.

4. To Forge Strong Human Relations among the people of our community. We are a diverse community and we must learn to trust, respect and work together and not allow our differences to continue to divide us. I will form a Task Force comprised of community leaders and citizen representatives to review this matter and offer recommendations to the City.

5. To Clean-up Neighborhoods by even more aggressive code enforcement to tear down dilapidated buildings and homes and to work with grants to help low-moderate income homeowners improve their homes. Additionally, to keep the momentum going to have Beacon Light rehabilitated or demolished.

It is not acceptable to

Paid For By The Committee To Re-elect Pete O’Geary

allow it to continue to blight and downgrade the neighborhood and city.

6. To Redevelop Downtown and Neighborhoods by successfully implementing the HOPE VI housing conversion grants. $2 million, to create quality housing in downtown as well as support the efforts of the Redevelopment Commission to successfully implement the Orange Breckenridge Redevelopment Project and work with Vance Granville Community College and others to locate classrooms and services in downtown.

7. To Improve our Infrastructure by developing and implementing a funded multi-year capital improvements plan for water, sewer and transportation needs, to continue to pursue the highspeed passenger rail station in downtown, to expand the regional water plant so that our community will have adequate water supplies for the next 25 to 30 years and to continue renovations to the sanitary sewer plant and collection system.

8. To Continue Quality Improvements in City Government by supporting efforts of City administration to drive implementation of Baldrige Quality management practices and principles within City operations, development of a balanced scorecard for performance measurement of services, continue development of a team approach to resolving problems through process improvements and delivery of services.

9. To Seek Out and Take Advantage of Opportunities that would serve to help move our community forward in a positive, progressive manner.

Hokies avoid Duke’s upset bid

Walt catches bass on Kerr, readies for BFL Randy Owen offered to help me get the boat and truck that I win in Maryland next weekend back home, and I hope to be able to take him up on his offer.

He also reported having an awesome weekend on Kerr Lake. He and Bryan Montgomery went out Saturday morning and caught a nice limit of stripers.

Sunday morning was just as Walt good, with Bowen stripers surfacing from On the Water Ivy Hill to Weekly Palmers Point. He and Joey Thompson had their limits before 8:30 a.m.

When they left, there was still an acre of stripers busting the water. This was more action than he had seen on the lake in a long time. He reported hearing from four other boaters that also caught their limits on Saturday and Sunday morning.

Sam Alashmli and I caught some nice largemouth on Kerr this past Sunday. Leaving Hibernia at around 11 a.m. we hit some main lake points in Nutbush Creek using crankbaits and spinnerbaits with no success, other than one 2 pound bass that followed Sam’s crankbait right to the side of the boat and then just sat there. Sam tried to get him to bite by swishing the plug back and forth in front of him, but he didn’t.

We left there and headed down to Nutbush Bridge and got on the fish right away.

Sam had caught three nice ones to my zero, and he was starting to get a little swellheaded until I caught a 5 pounder off a rock pile in 5 feet of water off a point back behind the bridge.

That fish came on a small chrome crankbait that dives to around 10 feet. We ended up catching around 15 good fish, including around 10 keepers before leaving the water at 3 p.m. We saw a small club weigh in at the Hibernia ramp, and I told Sam I sure wished we had of been fishing

Virginia Tech’s Josh Oglesby finds some running room between Duke’s Catron Gainey and Leon Wright during the first half of Saturday’s game in Durham.

DURHAM — With No. 6 Virginia Tech not at its best, Tyrod Taylor needed to be. He certainly was.

Taylor threw for a careerhigh 327 yards with two long touchdown passes to help the sometimes-sloppy Hokies dodge a letdown and beat Duke 34-26 Saturday.

Taylor was 17 for 22 with TD tosses of 36 yards to Danny

Coale and 28 yards to Jarrett Boykin, and Josh Oglesby had two late touchdown runs once the rushing game opened up for Virginia Tech (4-1, 2-0 Atlantic Coast Conference).

“I know we have a lot of talent on the offensive side of the ball,” Taylor said. “It’s just my job to get the ball to them.”

Skinner out-duels Wilson in Wake win

By MIKE CRANSTON AP Sports Writer

WINSTON-SALEM — Riley Skinner equated the buildup to his matchup with super sophomore Russell Wilson to a game early in his career against a budding NFL star.

The efficient, record-setting Skinner won that competition Saturday — with a big assist from Wake Forest’s inexperienced secondary.

Skinner threw three touchdown passes to become the Demon Deacons’ career leader in a 30-24 victory over North Carolina State, while the defense ended Wilson’s NCAA record streak of perfection by

intercepting him twice.

“It kind of reminded me back in my freshman year when we were playing against Matt Ryan,” Skinner said of facing Boston College and the current Atlanta Falcons quarterback.

“It does kind of make you want to play that much better.”

The senior did, throwing for a career-high 361 yards, while the Demon Deacons (3-2, 1-1) became the first team to intercept Wilson in more than a year.

Wilson’s streak was snapped at 379 attempts when sophomore Josh Bush picked him off in the second quarter. Redshirt freshman Kenny Okoro then intercepted him in the end

zone with 2:02 left and the Wolfpack (3-2, 0-1) lost in their first road game of the season.

“I didn’t even think about it, to be honest with you,” Wilson said of the streak. “I’m going to keep throwing the ball and giving my guys chances.”

Chris Givens had eight catches for 113 yards and a TD, and Wake Forest overcame six sacks — they lost starting left tackle Chris DeGeare to a scratched cornea — by exposing N.C. State’s shaky secondary.

“Man, we played good up front,” said Wolfpack defensive end Willie Young, who had Please see WAKE WINS, page 2B

MIAMI — Once Jacory Harris settled down and Miami’s defense got rolling, the Hurricanes found the right combination for their biggest win in years.

And for Sam Bradford-less Oklahoma, it was just another frustrating trip to South Florida.

Harris survived a shaky start to throw three touchdown passes, Javarris James ran for a career-high 150 yards against the nation’s top rush defense, and No. 17 Miami knocked off No. 8 Oklahoma 21-20 on Saturday night — in what will join some games from the 1980s as another Hurricanes-Sooners classic.

With Oklahoma’s reigning Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback watching from the sideline, still out with a right shoulder injury, Miami (3-1) scored 21 straight points to take control.

“It’s our time,” said linebacker Jordan Futch. “We are back. We are still The U.” Oklahoma led 10-0 early, significant because for nearly seven years, that’s been automatic doom for Sooners foes.

Oklahoma had won 40 straight when scoring at least the game’s first 10 points, dating to Nov. 9, 2002.

Not this time.

Not against a Miami team that was desperate for a signature victory, and delivered.

And when Miami was able to run out the clock, its home building shook with joy.

Tar Heel offense sputters in loss to Cavs

By BRIANA GORMAN The Herald Sun

CHAPEL HILL — As the clock wound down at the end of Virginia’s 16-3 over North Carolina on Saturday, the Kenan Stadium crowd let loose its feelings about the Tar Heels’ performance.

And UNC quarterback T.J. Yates had no argument with their assessment.

“We deserve to get boos,” Yates said.

For the second consecutive game, the junior said his team failed to execute offensively.

A week after the Tar Heels put up 154 yards of offense in a loss to Georgia Tech, they mustered just 174 yards against Virginia. It was the Cavaliers first win of the season and their

fourth consecutive victory over UNC (3-2, 0-2).

It was also the fewest points during the Butch Davis era and the first time one of his UNC teams hasn’t scored a touchdown.

“We’ve got to improve, and that’s my responsibility,” Davis said. “That’s our coaches’ responsibility, and that’s the approach we’re going to take as soon as we get back tomorrow.”

Even though the offense struggled to move the ball, the Tar Heels’ defense kept the game within reach until the fourth quarter. Virginia (1-3, 1-0) led 9-3 when UNC got the ball back with 10:14 remaining in the game. But after a loss of yards and an incomplete pass, Yates was picked off on the third down.

Yates was hit by Nate Collins, which caused the ball to go straight up in the air, and Chase Minnifield made the diving interception to give Virginia the ball on UNC’s 42. Seven plays later, Mikell Simpson, who finished with 100 yards rushing on 20 carries, ran 8 yards into the end zone to give the Cavs a two-score advantage.

“We’re very proud, very appreciative of the effort they

NFL Favre probable, Hutchinson questionable EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) — Brett Favre won’t be missing his first game against the Green Bay Packers.

The Minnesota Vikings quarterback is listed as probable for the showdown on Monday night. Favre has been limited in practice all week because of a sore right foot, but he will make his 273rd consecutive start.

All-Pro left guard Steve Hutchinson is listed as questionable with a back injury. He missed the first two practices of the week and participated on a limited basis on Saturday. Coach Brad Childress says he thinks Hutchinson will be fine.

BOSTON (AP) — Michael Ryder and Blake Wheeler scored 26 seconds apart in the first period and the Boston Bruins scored four-power play goals in a 7-2 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday night.

Marc Savard had a goal and two assists, and Marco Sturm added a goal and an assist, and Dennis Wideman, Shawn Thornton and Matt Hunwick also scored for the Bruins, who got a bit of revenge against the team that knocked them out of last season’s playoffs in the second round with an overtime win in Boston in Game 7.

Steve Begin, signed a free agent over the summer, had his second and third assists for Boston, while Derek Morris, another free-agent acquisition, assisted on the first two goals, both on the power play.

The Bruins had just 20 shots in their 4-1 loss to Washington on Thursday night, but came out flying and sent 21 shots

on the power play, and Wheeler, off some nifty work by Begin, connected to make it 3-0.

In the second, Savard set up Sturm after a penalty kill, making it 4-0 at 10:37.

Michael Leighton replaced an embattled Ward and was beaten by the first shot he saw.

Boston was back on the power play when Mark Recchi set Wideman up

for a one-time blast from just above the faceoff circle to the goalie’s right.

Down 5-0, the Hurricanes got on the board when Walker, booed every time he touched the puck for his pummeling of then-Bruin and now-Hurricane Aaron Ward and then scoring the goal that eliminated Boston from the playoffs, deflected a shot out of the air and by Thomas at 15:21 of the second period.

But the Bruins got that back when Begin stole the puck from former Bruin Andrew Alberts and got it to Thornton just in front of Leighton.

Staal scored on the power play early in the third period, after needing 25 stitches to close a cut on his left ear. He was hurt when a shot by teammate Matt Cullen struck him.

Hunwick added a power-play goal for the Bruins, who were 0-for5 with the advantage Thursday night.

and-6, a scrambling Wilson dumped a shovel pass to Jamelle Eugene for a 21yard gain to the Wake 39.

But soon after Wilson’s pass to the back of the end zone intended for Donald Bowens was picked off by Okoro, making his first career start at cornerback.

“He just threw it behind him,” N.C. State coach Tom O’Brien said. “If he throws it to the post it might be a different outcome.”

Struggling with his accuracy and plagued by some drops, Wilson finished 20 of 43 for 275 yards and two touchdowns passes. He ran for another score.

The first interception, coming on first-and-35

after consecutive penalties, sailed into double coverage.

Bush made an easy catch — waiting for the ball to come down to him — for his first career interception.

It was Wilson’s second career pick and his first in 14 games, dating to the third quarter against Clemson early last season.

He had broken the previous Football Bowl Subdivision record of 325 passes without an interception by Kentucky’s Andre Woodson in 2006-07.

Skinner’s first two touchdown passes went to Marshall Williams, who had a key drop in the end zone late in Wake Forest’s loss to N.C. State last season.

Tip of the week – Remember to check the water in your batteries regularly.

I have a reminder on my calendar to do this every two months. Frequent charging boils off some of the water to vapor, so you need to make

sure to keep them full about the lead plates. Use distilled water and be sure to follow your batteries manufacturers’ recommendations.

Taylor led the Hokies to 17 points in a 9-minute stretch of the first half, then made just enough plays down the stretch to preserve their early lead.

He directed three straight scoring drives to help the Hokies rally from an early 7-0 deficit, countering Duke’s first touchdown pass with his touchdown to Coale.

Then, one series after Matt Waldron’s 40-yard field goal put Tech ahead to stay, Taylor put the Hokies up 17-7 with his scoring pass to Boykin — who wrestled Duke’s Leon Wright for the ball and came down with it near the sideline in the end zone.

Later, Taylor connected with Boykin for 64 yards on third-and-34 to keep alive a drive that ended

with a 33-yard field goal

by Waldron to put Tech up 20-13.

“He told me, ’Just get the ball down the field, and if the guy makes an interception, you tell your wide receiver to make the tackle,”’ Taylor said.

“Jarrett kept the play alive, he went down there and I found him down the field and he made a great catch.”

Taylor went on to surpass his previous best of 287 yards set two years ago in his first college start against Ohio.

Duke’s only lead came late in the first quarter when Lewis faked a handoff and hit wide-open Brandon King in stride down the left side for a 48-yard score. Snyderwine added field goals of 29, 25 and 47 yards for Duke.

WAKE WINS, from page 1B three sacks. “We’ve got a lot of young guys in the secondary. It’s obvious now, we’re going to be attacked a lot more often, I think, in the secondary.”

Skinner’s nifty 25-yard strike to Givens in the back of the end zone on thirdand-21 early in the fourth quarter gave Wake Forest a 27-17 lead. It was Skinner’s 45th TD, passing Gary Schofield and Brian Kuklick on the school’s career list.

Skinner set a career high in yards passing for the third straight game, while completing 31 of 45 passes and overcoming two interceptions and a lost fumble.

“We just feel like if we don’t do a better job of let-

ting No. 11 play football, we’re not going to be smart coaches,” Wake Forest coach Jim Grobe said.

Wake Forest kept N.C. State in it thanks to a costly mental error by senior defensive end Boo Robinson.

He was called for a 15yard personal foul penalty for pushing and shoving after Wilson’s third-down pass fell incomplete. On the next play Wilson’s 5-yard TD pass to Toney Baker made it 27-24.

DEVILS LOSE, from page 1B crisp this time. But they were good enough to claim their ninth straight victory against Duke.

“I don’t think that’s the old Duke football team,” Tech coach Frank Beamer said.

Thaddeus Lewis was 22 for 40 for 359 yards with two touchdown passes, including a 4-yarder to Austin Kelly with 25 seconds left. But Lewis said the pesky Blue Devils (2-3, 0-1) too often settled for field goals, with Will Snyderline kicking four, including a 43-yarder that pulled the Blue Devils to 27-19 with 7 minutes left.

“We needed to get seven points, and we didn’t do that,” Lewis said. “But three points is better than no points.”

The Blue Devils, 17-point underdogs, kept this one tight throughout, but were denied their first win over a top-10 opponent in two decades.

Before last year’s 14-3 loss in Blacksburg, Duke hadn’t come within 24 points of the Hokies since they joined the ACC in 2004.

“We got close enough in the fourth quarter to go beat a great team,” Duke coach David Cutcliffe said. “Once you taste that, you like it. I wouldn’t say we spit it out — it wasn’t a choke — but we just didn’t finish.”

Indeed, Tech spent much of this one looking

ripe for an upset after routing the Hurricanes 31-7 to vault back into the top 10. By halftime, the Hokies had matched their season highs with seven penalties for 55 yards, and they finished with 12 flags for 105 yards.

“Too many penalties and too many long plays,” Beamer said. “We weren’t as sharp as we would like, but I don’t think it was lack of effort. Part of it was Duke, and part of it was us. ... Sometimes I think you’ve just got to win some games that’s not real pretty on the road, and this is probably one of those.”

Ryan Williams, the nation’s No. 6 rusher, was held to 83 yards on the ground, 40 fewer than his average. But he had 41 yards and a pair of thirddown conversions during the drive that ended when Oglesby’s 12-yard touchdown run made it 27-16 with 9 1/2 minutes left.

Oglesby added a 19-yard score 7 minutes later that made it 34-19.

For much of the way, Duke keyed on stopping the ground game, and Taylor took advantage.

“When we needed to run the football, and we did, and got points, that was critical to this ball game,” Beamer said.

“They were going to take the run away, so you’ve got to be able to throw the ball.”

Fourth-quarter TD vaults BC over FSU

recovered at the Boston College 29, but Dustin Hopkins’ 37-yard field goal attempt was wide right.

Taking over at the 20 with 7:02 left, Shinskie bounced back after a hard takedown that injured his left shoulder and survived a sure interception that was dropped by cornerback Greg Reid. A pass

interference on a thirdand-10 gave the Eagles the ball on the 42, and Harris charged through the line, bounced off one tackler and outraced the secondary to the right pylon.

Ponder took the Seminoles to the Eagles’ 27 before overthrowing an open Reed on third-and-10, and then missing on fourth down with a pass that was too short to matter. Ponder, who entered the game as the ACC passing leader, finished 29-for-42 for 345 yards. Reed caught seven passes for 107 yards, and Goodman caught nine for 105 yards.

It was an emotional victory for the Eagles on a day when they were honoring linebacker Mark Herzlich, who is taking the year off for treatment after being diagnosed with Ewing’s sarcoma, a rare form of cancer. Herzlich gave a pregame speech over the public address system to fire up the crowd, and he prowled the sidelines waving a yellow towel during the game.

UNC again was hurt by its inability to establish a running game behind its young, injury-depleted offensive line. A week after gaining 17 rushing yards, the Tar Heels finished with 39 yards on the ground against the second-worst rushing defense in the ACC. “[We’re] just not executing on the run game; the passing game’s not going well,” said Yates, who finished 20-of-36 for 135 yards.

“They’re not complementing

each other because neither one of them is working.

We’ve got to get the run game going to open up the pass game and the pass game to open up the run game.”

But despite back-to-back losses, Yates said the Tar Heels’ season isn’t over.

“We started off strong and we hit a couple of road bumps and we can’t give up on the season,” Yates said.

“Everybody on this team had high expectations for us, and we definitely didn’t see this in the schedule and so we can’t give up. We’ve got to keep going back to work and go to the next game.”

BOSTON — Montel Harris broke free up the middle for a 42-yard touchdown run with 4:07 left — his second score of the game — and Boston College recovered after blowing an 18-point lead to beat Florida State 28-21 on Saturday.

Harris finished with a career-high 179 yards on 25 carries for the Eagles (4-1, 2-1 Atlantic Coast Conference). After Boston College stopped the Seminoles (2-3, 0-2) on fourth down with 2:16 left, Harris broke loose for a 39-yard run but then fumbled on the next play.

Boston College’s Anthony Castonzo recovered, and Dave Shinskie was able to run out the clock.

Shinskie, a 25-year-old freshman in just his second week as the full-time starter, completed 12 of 21 passes for 203 yards and two touchdowns. Colin Larmond Jr. had five catches for 98 yards.

Boston College running back Montel Harris fumbles the ball while tackled by Florida State defensive tackle Jacobbi McDaniel during the fourth quarter of Saturday’s game.

The Seminoles trailed 21-3 late in the second quarter before Chris Ponder led them to a pair of second-half touchdowns, tying the score 21-all when wide receiver Bert Reed hit Caz Piurowski for the 2-point conversion with 11 minutes left. Jeff Smith fumbled the ensuing kickoff and JaJuan Harley

HEELS LOSE, from page 1B put in to make this happen and very happy for them that they can enjoy a moment like this,” Virginia coach Al Groh said. “It’s a players’ game, and they earned every part of it.”

After Virginia’s touchdown, UNC got the ball back with 5:49 to play but went just 17 yards before turning the ball over on downs. The Tar Heels finished with nine first downs compared to Virginia’s 16, and Grant Schallock punted the ball eight times.

“We went from scoring seven to scoring three so it is kind of taking a step back,” Yates said. “We’ve just got to do better.”

Virginia led 6-0 at the break thanks to 36- and 38yard field goals by Robert Randolph. The Tar Heels had just 67 yards of offense in the first half but took their first possession of the second half 58 yards down field for their first points.

Kicker Casey Barth connected on a 39-yard field goal to cut Virginia’s lead to 6-3. But then Randolph hit a 43-yards field goal, his third of the day, for a 9-3 lead.

“It’s a disappointing loss,” Davis said. “It’s a little bit of a carryover of the same thing from last week. The defense played well enough at times, certainly, to give

Maryland linebacker Adrian Moten, offensive guard Lamar Young and wide receiver Kerry Boykins celebrate their 2421 win over Clemson Saturday.

Terps hold off Clemson for win COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) — Chris Turner passed for two touchdowns and Maryland overcame two late missed field goals by Clemson in a 24-21 win on Saturday.

The win snapped a twogame losing streak by the Terps (2-3, 1-0 Atlantic Coast Conference), who snuffed out the Tigers’ final drive at the 28 with a sack and fumble recovery

by Demetrius Hartsfield with 27 seconds to play.

Clemson (2-3, 1-2) cut the score to 24-21 with 4:11 left in the third quarter after C.J. Spiller scored on a 92-yard kickoff return and a 2-point conversion pass from Kyle Parker to Michael Palmer.

The Tiger could have tied and taken the lead but Richard Jackson missed field goals from 47 and 48 yards away.

Maryland was held to 28 yards and a single first down in the first quarter as Clemson built a 10-0 lead. But the Terps rallied with 17 points in the second quarter to pull ahead.

Turner completed 19 of 26 passes for 215 yards and had scoring tosses of

29 yards to Torrey Smith and 4 yards to Ronnie Tyler. The pass to Tyler put Maryland ahead 1713 with 35 seconds left in the first half.

Maryland managed just 69 yards on 45 carries, fumbling four times on — losing two.

The Terps outgained the Tigers 284-274.

Kyle Parker was 20-for37 passing for 180 yards and Spiller rushed for 72 yards for the Tigers.

Smith, who caught three passes for 64 yards, became the first ACC player to go over 1,000 all-purpose yards this season.

Maryland’s go-ahead drive covered 81 yards with Turner completing 5 of 5 passes for 49 yards and running the ball four times for 27 yards. The Terps closed the half with an interception by Jamari McCullough at the goal line.

Maryland punter Nick Ferrara had a big day, as well. He was forced to handle the punting duties due to an injury, averaging 43.2 yards on eight punts. He had punts of 61 and 53 yards in the first half.

The Phillies have lost three straight since clinching their third consecutive NL East title. The Phillies could have clinched home field with wins in their final two games and two losses by Los Angeles.

Philadelphia, the defending World Series champion, went 7-0 at home in the playoffs last season and will host the

opening game Wednesday.

Cole Hamels (10-11), last seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s World Series MVP, allowed three runs and three hits while walking two and striking out two in three innings.

Ryan Howard hit his 45th home run for the Phillies.

Brewers 5, Cardinals 4 ST. LOUIS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Ryan Braun reached 200 hits for the first time on a two-run homer in the first inning, and the Milwaukee Brewers went on to beat the St. Louis Cardinals to ensure the NL Central champions will open the postseason on the road.

Kyle Lohse (6-10) worked six innings in his

final bid to make the St. Louis postseason rotation, allowing five runs but only two earned. The Cardinals will pick between 42-yearold John Smoltz and Lohse for their fourth starting spot in the playoffs.

Nationals 6, Braves 4 (11) ATLANTA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Justin Maxwell hit a two-out, two-run homer in the 11th inning and the Washington Nationals beat the Atlanta Braves for their sixth straight victory.

The Nationals, who have the worst record in the majors at 58-103, sent the Braves to their fifth loss in a row.

After both teams scored two runs in the 10th, Max-

well homered off Manny Acosta (1-1).

Zack Segovia (1-0) won despite giving up two runs in the 10th. Logan Kensing got his first save.

Cubs 5, Diamondbacks 0 CHICAGO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Randy Wells allowed three hits in seven strong innings and struck out a career-high 10, helping the Chicago Cubs beat the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Wells (12-10) gave up a leadoff double to Stephen Drew and then retired 14 straight before Eric Byrnes hit a two-out single in the fifth. Wellsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 12 wins are the most by a Cubs rookie since Kerry Wood had 13 in 1998.

Mets 5, Astros 1 NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Pat Misch pitched five solid innings before his outing was cut short by a long rain delay and the New York Mets beat the Houston Astros.

Fernando Tatis had two hits and two RBIs for New York, which scored all of its runs with two outs.

Misch (3-4) allowed one run and five hits to close his season with consecutive wins, raising his career record to 3-11 in 60 games. Francisco Rodriguez got one out for his 35th save in 42 opportunities.

Reds 8, Pirates 4 CINCINNATI (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D;

Joey Votto homered and drove in three runs and Scott Rolen homered and the Cincinnati Reds took advantage of Zach Dukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s control problems for an 8-4 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Saturday night.

Johnny Cueto rebounded from a rough first inning for the win. Cueto (11-11) allowed five hits and four runs with four walks and six strikeouts in six innings.

Duke walked a seasonhigh five, one short of his career high, while losing for the fifth time with just one win in his last seven starts. Duke (11-16) gave up six hits and five runs with two strikeouts in five innings.

AL Roundup

With Tigers loss and Twins win, AL Central race to be decided today White Sox 5, Tigers 1 DETROIT (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The AL Central has come down to the final day.

The Detroit Tigers dropped into a first-place tie with Minnesota, looking listless Saturday night in a 5-1 loss to Freddy Garcia and the Chicago White Sox. Tigers manager Jim Leyland made two pitching changes in the second inning, trying to find a way to end his teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s slump.

Instead, Detroit lost for the fifth time in seven games.

Earlier in the day, the Twins beat Kansas City 5-4, leaving them even with the Tigers at 85-76.

Detroit will start ace Justin Verlander on Sunday against John Danks. If the Tigers and Twins are still tied at the end of the day, there will be a onegame playoff Tuesday at the Metrodome.

The Tigers are in danger of becoming the first team to be in first place on May 10 and stay atop a division until losing the title in the last week. Minnesota hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been in first â&#x20AC;&#x201D; alone or tied â&#x20AC;&#x201D; since May 14.

Pirates get the best of the Thundering Herd HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (AP) — Patrick Pinkney scored on a 30-yard run and East Carolina’s defense forced two turnovers in the fourth quarter to beat Marshall 21-17 on Saturday.

Pinkney was 14-for-23

with 131 yards and an interception for the Pirates (3-2, 2-0 Conference USA).

East Carolina’s Dominique Lindsay broke a 7-7 tie before halftime with a 3-yard touchdown run.

Marshall (3-2, 1-1) pulled ahead 17-14 on

Craig Ratanamorn’s 28yard field goal and Darius Marshall’s 20-yard TD run in the third, setting up Pinkney’s game-winning run.

Pinkney’s only carry came on a 30-yard score to put East Carolina ahead

24-17 in the third quarter.

The Pirates defense held strong in the fourth, as Marshall’s Brian Anderson was intercepted early in the fourth by Emanuel Davis and again late by Jeremy Chambliss to help seal the win.

Michigan St. pulls off upset; USC rolls over Cal No. 3 Alabama 38, Kentucky 20 LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — Mark Ingram ran for a career-high 140 yards and two touchdowns. Alabama quarterback Greg McElroy added a pair of scoring passes as the Crimson Tide (5-0, 2-0 SEC) pulled away from the Wildcats (2-2, 0-2) during a dizzying stretch in the second and third quarters when Alabama scored 24 points in just over 5 minutes.

Derrick Locke ran for 76 yards and added another 63 yards receiving for Kentucky, but fumbled late in the first half. Alabama’s Courtney Upshaw picked the ball up and sprinted 45 yards for a touchdown to give Alabama a 21-6 halftime lead.

No. 4 LSU 20, No. 18 Georgia 13 ATHENS, Ga. (AP) — Charles Scott scored on a 33-yard run with 46 seconds remaining to cap a wild finish.

No touchdowns were scored through the first three quarters, but the teams went back and forth over the final 3 minutes before the Tigers (5-0, 3-0 SEC) won their second straight close call.

With Georgia (3-2, 2-1 SEC) ahead 7-6 after finally scoring in the opening minute of the fourth period, LSU reclaimed the lead, 12-7, on Scott’s 2-yard run with 2:53 remaining. The Bulldogs bounced back on Joe Cox’s 16-yard touchdown pass to A.J. Green with 1:09 left, going up 1312 before missing a 2-point conversion.

But LSU, starting in good field position after an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on Georgia, was already in field goal range when Scott broke two tackles at the line and went all the way to the end zone.

No. 5 Boise St. 34, UC Davis 16 BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Kellen Moore threw for 285 yards and three touchdowns, including a pair to Austin Pettis, to lead No. 5 Boise State to a 34-16 victory over UC Davis on Saturday night.

The Broncos (5-0) got off to a slow start and struggled to run the ball against the FCS Aggies.

The Broncos rushed for just 101 yards, far below the 214 yards per game they were averaging. Boise State got just 13 points in four trips to the red zone in the first half before Moore

finally helped the offense get on track in the second half.

No. 7 USC 30, No. 24 California 3 BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) — Taylor Mays and a dominating Southern California defense overshadowed any offensive deficiencies for the Trojans and overwhelmed Jahvid Best and the California offense.

Mays set the tone with an interception on the first drive of the game, Damian Williams returned a punt for a touchdown and the seventh-ranked Trojans beat No. 24 California 30-3 Saturday night.

Joe McKnight ran for 119 yards and scored the only two offensive touchdowns for USC (4-1, 2-1 Pac-10) with a 38-yard run on the first drive and a 5-yard run late in the fourth quarter that emptied the stadium.

No. 9 Ohio State 33, Indiana 14 BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) — Terrelle Pryor threw three touchdown passes and rushed for another score. The Buckeyes (4-1, 2-0 Big Ten) gave up their first points in nine quarters, but ran away with their 16th straight Big Ten road win, one short of tying the conference record.

Indiana (3-2, 0-2) did little right in its second straight loss. The Hoosiers had three turnovers and gave up a safety after a bad snap on a punt, falling to Ohio State for the 15th straight time.

No. 10 Cincinnati 37, Miami (Ohio) 13 OXFORD, Ohio (AP) — Jacob Ramsey ran for 103 yards and three touchdowns in Cincinnati’s passoriented offense, and the Bearcats broke open a close game in the fourth quarter.

The oldest rivalry west of the Allegheny Mountains has been a mismatch since coach Brian Kelly showed up at Cincinnati and turned the Bearcats (5-0) into Big East champs. The Bearcats won their fourth straight over Miami (0-5) in front of the biggest crowd at Yager Stadium in six years.

Tony Pike had a so-so game, going 23 of 42 for 270 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. The senior came in with 70.5 percent completion percentage, but repeatedly forced throws against a defense stacked to stop the pass.

No. 11 TCU 39, SMU 14 FORT WORTH, Texas

(AP) — Jeremy Kerley returned a punt 71 yards for the go-ahead touchdown and 11th-ranked TCU overcame three first-half turnovers to avoid another letdown against SMU, beating the Mustangs 39-14 Saturday night.

Kerley sprinted up the right sideline, shredded several tacklers before cutting back to the middle of the field and then pinballed off a defender and a teammate into the end zone late in the first half. TCU’s first punt return for a touchdown since the 2002 season opener made it 12-7.

Antoine Hicks had a 2-yard TD run and caught a 28-yard score for TCU (4-0), which led for good after Kerley’s return and averted a repeat of four years ago against SMU (2-2).

No. 13 Iowa 24, Arkansas State 21 IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Ricky Stanzi threw for a season-high 296 yards and three touchdowns to give the Hawkeyes their best start since 1995.

Marvin McNutt caught two touchdown passes for Iowa (5-0), which allowed the Red Wolves to hang around far too long — much like it did in a narrow win over Northern Iowa in the opener.

Arkansas State pulled within 24-21 with 2:01 left, when Corey Leonard capped a 17-play drive with a 4-yard pass to Trevor Gillott. The Red Wolves (1-3) got the ball back with 10 seconds left at their 18, but Leonard missed on two long throws.

passed for three touchdowns to overcome his three interceptions.

Snead threw for just one touchdown in last week’s 16-10 loss to South Carolina, a game that dropped the Rebels (3-1, 1-1 SEC) from a No. 4 ranking that had been their highest since 1970. He matched his season high with three TDs against Vanderbilt.

Michigan State 26, No. 22 Michigan 20 (OT) EAST LANSING, Mich.

(AP) — Freshman Larry Caper ran for a 23-yard touchdown in overtime, giving Michigan State a 26-20 win over No. 22 Michigan on Saturday for the Spartans’ first consecutive victories in the series since 1967.

Chris L. Rucker had intercepted Tate Forcier in the end zone on the Wolverines’ overtime possession to keep Michigan (4-1, 1-1 Big Ten) from scoring.

Forcier had led the Wolverines on yet another last-minute touchdown drive to tie the game at 20 with 2 seconds left in regulation. It was the third late-game comeback led by Michigan.

Michigan State (2-3, 1-1) snapped a three-game losing streak. It won three straight over Michigan from 1965-67.

No. 21 Mississippi 23, Vanderbilt 7 NASHVILLE, Tenn.

(AP) — Jevan Snead

No. 25 Georgia Tech 42, Mississippi St. 31 STARKVILLE, Miss.

(AP) — Josh Nesbitt threw for a career-high 266 yards and No. 25 Georgia Tech converted three Mississippi State turnovers into touchdowns for a 42-31 win Saturday night.

Nesbitt, who rushed 32 times the week before, took to the air against the Bulldogs (2-3), connecting with Demaryius Thomas eight times for 174 yards and a 23-yard touchdown in an exciting game that featured a little bit of everything.

The Yellow Jackets (4-1) and Bulldogs (2-3) both scored on reverses and converted a combined six fourth downs, including a fake field goal by Mississippi State. The Bulldogs’ Leon Berry had an 89-yard kickoff return a score and Tech’s Jerrard Tarrant returned a fumble 40 yards for a touchdown.

Anthony Dixon rushed for 106 yards, but gave up the fumble to Tarrant and another at the goal line after going 329 carries since 2007 without losing the ball.

loose for a 48-yard run on the very next snap. Missed tackles were plenty, and Harris wasn’t clicking.

Some penalties were baffling — perhaps the most egregious was being offsides on a kickoff, when Oklahoma couldn’t run it back to the 10.

So the ground game gave Miami a spark.

James ripped off his longest run since his freshman season in 2006, a 50-yarder midway through the second quarter. Two plays later, thanks to a recovered Harris fumble by lineman Matt Pipho, Jimmy Graham — he of the two crucial drops last week against Virginia Tech — caught an 18-yard TD pass to help Miami claw

within 10-7 at the half.

Barely a half-minute into the third quarter, the Hurricanes took the lead.

Joe Joseph went into the Miami locker room hobbling in the second quarter. He returned in the third, forced a fumble on the Sooners’ first drive, and Harris connected with Dedrick Epps for an 11-yard score that put Miami up 14-10.

And that’s when Oklahoma got rattled. A pair of 15-yard penalties on the next Sooners possession led to a fourth-and-42 scenario, giving Miami the ball back — and Harris came through with it, hitting Benjamin for a 38-yard score and 21-10 lead as the stadium roared.

No. 15 Penn State 35, Illinois 17 CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (AP) — Evan Royster and Stephon Green each ran for more than 100 yards and Darryl Clark added a pair of TDs rushing on a wet, windy day.

Green had 120 yards on 13 carries and Royster added 105 on 17.

But it was Clark who led a pair of third-quarter drives that decided the game. He scored 1-yard touchdowns to end each and stretch what had been a 7-3 halftime lead to 21-3.

Penn State (4-1, 1-1 Big Ten) relied on its ground game to bounce back from last week’s upset against Iowa, battering Illinois with 338 yards rushing.

CANES, from page 1B game to Florida.

This one almost certainly ended any Sooners national title hopes, too. Landry Jones threw for 188 yards and DeMarco Murray and Chris Brown combined to rush for 151 more for Oklahoma (2-2).

The teams last met in September 2007, a 51-13 romp by Oklahoma. That game shaped today’s Hurricanes in a number of ways: For the older players, it was humiliating, and for the ones like Harris who were in high school at the time, it reaffirmed that they wanted to be part of the group that brought Miami back to prominence.

But Saturday surely didn’t start the way Miami

wanted.

Harris threw interceptions on Miami’s first two drives, the first so easy for Oklahoma’s Dominique Franks to grab that it wasn’t even clear who was the intended receiver. Oklahoma turned that one into a 16-yard touchdown pass from Jones to Cameron Kenney, and stretched the lead to 10-0 in the second quarter on Jimmy Stevens’ 21-yard field goal.

Yet Oklahoma had to be disappointed at that point: A 95-yard drive mustered only three points.

You name it, the Hurricanes did it wrong in the first half. They downed a punt inside the Oklahoma 1, only to let Brown get

Irish tame Huskies in OT

By TOM COYNE AP Sports Writer

SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Robert Hughes scored on a 1-yard run in overtime and Notre Dame broke up a fourth-down pass near the end zone on the final play to help the Fighting Irish to a 37-30 victory Saturday.

Jake Locker threw a pass toward D’Andre Goodwin on fourth-and-19 on the game’s final play, but safeties Harrison Smith and Kyle McCarthy sandwiched him and knocked the ball loose. It was the fourth straight game decided in the final minute for the Irish.

Jimmy Clausen floated a 12-yard pass into the end zone that Kyle Rudolph caught over cornerback Quinton Richardson with 80 seconds left and Hughes pushed a pile of defenders into the end zone for the 2-point conversion and a 30-27 lead.

Erik Folk kicked a 37-yard field goal with 6 seconds left to tie the game at 30 and force overtime.

Notre Dame (4-1) improved to 8-0 against Washington (2-3). It was the wildest finish yet in a season of them for the Irish.

Clausen was 23 of 31 passing for a career-high 422 yards, the fifth highest passing yardage in five seasons under coach Charlie Weis. He threw

one interception. Golden Tate caught nine passes for a career-high 244 yards and a touchdown. He set up Hughes’ TD run with a 22-yard catch on the first play in overtime.

Locker was 22 of 40 passing for 281 yards and a touchdown. He also ran for a touchdown. Chris Polk ran for a career-high 136 yards. Tate had a 67yard touchdown reception, breaking three tackles on his way to the end zone.

Tate had another 77-yard catch on the first play of the second half but, Washington cornerback Desmond Trufant pushed Tate at the 10 and he went out at the 2-yard line. The Irish ended up settling for a field goal.

Nick Tausch tied a Notre Dame record with five field goals as Washington’s defense repeatedly held the Irish out of the end zone. But the Irish defense came up with big plays when it had to, making a pair of goal-line stands in the second half.

The first was late in the third quarter when the Irish held the Huskies for no points on two plays from the 1-yard line on a pair of keepers by Locker. Locker gained a half yard on the first play, but was stopped

by Brian Smith and McCarthy. He lost a half yard on the second play as he was stopped by Kerry Neal and Harrison Smith.

Logano passes Busch with three laps left

By JOHN MARSHALL AP Sports Writer

KANSAS CITY, Kan. — That horrific barrel roll at Dover, the one that looked more like a scene from “Talladega Nights” than a real NASCAR wreck?

Turns out it gave Joey Logano confidence, not fear.

Passing points leader Kyle Busch with three laps left, Logano won at Kansas Speedway on Saturday, pulling out his fourth Nationwide victory less than a week after that spectacular crash during a Sprint Cup race.

“If you can barrel roll a race car like that and come out OK, it’s going to give you confidence to drive it harder,” Logano said. “I didn’t think it was a big deal at all coming into today. I knew a lot of people did and were wondering how I was going to be. This should put it all to rest, I hope.”

In the days leading up to Kansas, Logano assured everyone the Dover crash wouldn’t affect his aggressiveness on the track. Sure, he was shaky, even after walking away from the care center. Rolling a car seven times will tend to do that to a driver, even if he walks away unscathed, as Logano did.

Whether it was the nerves of a 19-year-old or the nature of a race-car driver, Logano wasn’t about to let fear climb into his head.

He proved it at Kansas.

Overcoming early handling problems, Logano

NASCAR Nationwide driver Joey Logano burns out after winning the Kansas Lottery 300 at Kansas Speedway Saturday. stayed near the front for most of the race, then made his move after a late caution. Even a near wreck didn’t slow him down; Logano regrouped, hit the accelerator and passed Busch for his fifth career Nationwide win.

“I had no fear,” Logano said. “I didn’t think about anything like that and I don’t think 90 percent of these race car drivers think like that.”

Busch came up short against Logano yet again.

He had the strongest car most of the day, leading 173 of the 200 laps on the 1.5-mile oval. Busch has led 2,226 laps this season, breaking the season series record of 2,127 set by Sam Ard in 1984.

He just didn’t have enough to hold off Logano, who came back to beat him in the final 10 laps for the fourth time this season.

Busch still extended his lead over Carl Edwards (seventh) to 245 points with six races left, but has

finished second in all four of Logano’s Nationwide wins this season.

Brad Keselowski finished third.

“It’s pretty self-explanatory: it is frustrating,” said Busch, who has 25 top-10 finishes this season. “We had a great race car today.

We were good in the points.

I’ve done that about 12 times this year so it ain’t the first time and it certainly ain’t going to be the last time.”

Busch started strong, taking the lead from pole sitter Parker Kligerman at the start/finish line on Lap 9 and lost it just once on a non-caution lap over the first 196 laps.

Logano, who started seventh, had handling issues early and spent most of the race trying to figure which line to run on the track, struggling to find away around the drivers in front of him. Still, he was able to stay near the lead most of the day and clinged to Busch’s bumper down

the stretch, waiting for a window to pass.

Logano appeared to miss one chance coming out of a caution with six laps left, briefly losing control of his car and having to back while trying to pass Busch on the inside. He regrouped, quickly made up the lost ground and got Busch two laps later, racing past him on the outside then pulling away down the stretch.

Not bad for a guy who was flipped around like one of those stick helicopter toys just six days ago.

“I was quite frankly sick of hearing about it,” Logano’s crew chief Dave Rogers said of the crash. “I wanted to see him win this race and maybe stop the talk and talk about winning races and leading laps, like we should be.”

Kligerman had a rough first Nationwide race after what had been an incredible start to the weekend.

The 19-year-old raced to his eighth ARCA victory of the season Thursday, moving with 15 points of series leader Justin Lofton.

Kligerman then became the 10th driver in series history to win the pole in his first Nationwide start despite having never run a practice lap before this weekend.

The race was a bit of a struggle.

Kligerman, a developmental driver for Penske Racing, lost the lead to Busch early on and kept dropping through the field, falling to 21st after 60 laps.

He made a small rally from there and finished 16th.

Daley: Olympic loss won’t harm Chicago’s future

By DEANNA BELLANDI Associated Press Writer

CHICAGO — It wasn’t the homecoming Chicago’s Olympic delegation expected.

The team returned home empty-handed Saturday, with Mayor Richard Daley suggesting a bid for the 2020 Olympics was unlikely but promising Chicago would come out of the recession even without the economic stimulus of the 2016 Summer Games.

“We have a great city.

These are great people. We have a future just as bright as anyone else,” Daley told reporters at O’Hare International Airport.

The delegation, including Daley and Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn, had just returned from Copenhagen where the International Olympic Committee awarded Rio de Janeiro the games. They tried to put the best face on the loss.

“All those cities said they were the best city. Chicago is the best of the best cities,” Quinn said.

Chicago’s loss was a high-profile international rejection that came despite personal appeals from President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama, who flew to Copenhagen to lobby. Chicago was eliminated Friday in the first round of voting.

Daley said it was “unfair” to suggest losing the Olympics was a defeat for Obama, who calls Chicago home and has a house just a few blocks from where the Olympic Stadium would have been built.

“This is not a loss for Obama. I don’t know where you’re getting this point,” Daley said. “It’s not a loss for the king and queen of Spain, it’s not a loss for the new prime minister of Japan.”

Tokyo and Madrid were the other two unsuccessful bid cities, and their country’s leaders were at the IOC meeting too.

Daley thanked Chicago’s business community and other benefactors for raising

money to finance the city’s Olympic bid, saying the other countries had spent government money.

“We did not spend one dime” of taxpayers’ money, said Daley, who also thanked volunteers who worked on the bid.

Daley suggested a 2020 bid for the Olympics was unlikely because of geographical concerns by the IOC. “This is the only time that we fit in that geographical position,” he said.

Daley acknowledged being upset and disappointed but said he’s keeping perspective on the Olympic loss.

“The only great disappointment in life is if you lost a loved one,” he said.

Bobcats’ Mohammed gets another chance with Brown

By MIKE CRANSTON AP Sports Writer

CHARLOTTE — A day after ending his least productive season since breaking into the NBA a decade ago, Nazr Mohammed made it clear he didn’t want to spend another year on the Bobcats’ bench.

“I want to play. If that can’t be facilitated, I don’t want to be back,” he said in April.

Less than six months later, Mohammed and his big contract are still in Charlotte. And because of new center Tyson Chandler’s ankle injury, Mohammed is temporarily a starter.

“After going through what I went through last year, it’s definitely humbling,” Mohammed said at training camp. “You go from a guy who wanted to start to a guy who’s just happy to get on the court for preseason games. I’m just going to try to make the best out of it, go out there and help the team and show people I can still play.”

He’ll also try to prove again to coach Larry Brown — who has already traded him once — that he deserves to be a part of the rotation.

Brown was coaching Philadelphia in 1998 when the 76ers acquired the Kentucky player shortly after he was drafted in the

Charlotte’s Nazr Mohammed, right, starts a fast break as head coach Larry Brown, left, directs during practice at the team’s training camp in Charlotte Wednesday. first round by Utah. But the 6-foot-10 Mohammed played sparingly in parts of three seasons before the Sixers dealt him to Atlanta.

He then bounced around the league and was mostly productive, averaging 7.1 points and 6.7 rebounds in the playoffs for NBA champion San Antonio in 2005.

He later started in Detroit before being traded to Charlotte in December 2007.

Then-coach Sam Vincent made Mohammed a part-time starter and he averaged 9.3 points and 6.9 rebounds for the rest of the

2007-08 season. But when Brown took over before last season, Mohammed became benchwarmer. He played in only 39 games and averaged 2.7 points and 2 rebounds.

The Bobcats even traded for another backup center, DeSagana Diop. Brown acknowledged they tried to trade Mohammed. But his contract — he has two years and about $13.4 million still due — meant no takers.

“It’s amazing no matter what you’ve done in the past, when you don’t play people think you can’t play anymore or you’ve quit,”

Mohammed said. “That’s not something I want people to ever think of me. All I know is you go in and work.”

So Mohammed spent the offseason doing a different training regimen. He ditched the bench pressing and curls, which he said “has no purpose on the basketball court” and worked with a track coach at the University of Louisville.

“All I know is when things don’t go the way you want them, you work harder, you change something,” Mohammed said.

With Chandler sitting out at least until the fifth exhibition game as he recovers from offseason ankle surgery, Mohammed has been working with the starters. A month after turning 32, Mohammed still thinks he can contribute 15 to 25 minutes a game.

“He’s in much better shape,” Brown said. “I think he’s much further along than last year.”

But Brown is far from guaranteeing him minutes, even if he did acknowledge that he didn’t give Mohammed a chance last season.

“He said it to me privately and I was surprised he said it to you guys, that he wasn’t really fair with me last year,” Mohammed said. “I respect that. He didn’t have to say that. That says a lot about him.”

Indiana Fever forward Tamika Catchings shoots during practice for the WNBA finals at Conseco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis Saturday. The best-of-five series between the Fever and the Phoenix Mercury is tied at 1-1 with Game 3 scheduled for Sunday.

Fever, Catchings could win title at home

By CLIFF BRUNT AP Sports Writer

INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana Fever were welcomed home by hundreds of screaming fans on Friday, a day after their win at Phoenix in Game 2 evened the WNBA finals.

If the Fever have their way, they won’t board another flight this season.

Indiana could clinch its first championship with two wins at home in the best-of-five series.

The Fever defeated the Mercury 93-84 in Game 2 on Thursday night, and they will try to carry the momentum into Game 3 on Sunday at Conseco Fieldhouse.

The Fever likely will need All-Star forward Tamika Catchings to avoid foul trouble if they are to celebrate at Conseco after Game 4 on Wednesday.

Catchings had just eight points before fouling out with 2:42 left in overtime during a 120-116 loss in Game 1, but she bounced back with 19 points, a finals-record 11 assists and nine rebounds in Game 2. She fell one rebound shy of the first triple-double in WNBA finals history.

“I think the biggest thing for me was being able to be on the court for my team, and then definitely being more aggressive, going to the basket instead of settling for jump shots,” Catchings said.

Phoenix coach Corey Gaines said his team hasn’t played to its potential in the series.

He said the difference between the first two games was simple.

“They were more aggressive than us and we missed shots,” he said.

The Fever lost the highest-scoring game in league history in Game 1, then returned to what got them to the finals in Game 2. All-Star guard Katie Douglas said the game plan didn’t change, but the execution and intensity improved.

“I think it was just the energy, the focus we had, the concentration on the defensive end,” Douglas said. “We just played with a lot more concentrated effort as a unit.”

Phoenix’s quick-strike offense has given Indiana trouble. The Fever led by 10 points with 1:53 left in the first quarter of Game 1, but lost that advantage by the end of the period, and the game went backand-forth the rest of the way. In Game 2, the Fever led by 17 in the third quarter. Phoenix made a

push, but never got closer than five points.

Phoenix is known for wearing teams down with its up-tempo style, but Catchings said the pace hasn’t been an issue for Indiana, and won’t be during the series.

“As much as we run in practice, I feel like we’re in great shape,” she said.

“If you look at our team, we actually run quite a bit.”

Catchings, the league’s defensive player of the year, has been a reason league MVP Diana Taurasi has gone 12 for 39 for Phoenix in the series.

Gaines wouldn’t say if Taurasi or Catchings was more responsible for his star’s shooting woes.

“We know Catchings is a great defensive player, and we know Taurasi is a great scorer,” Gaines said. “Why is (Taurasi) missing shots? It’s a matter of how you look at it.”

Taurasi’s sidekick, All-Star Cappie Pondexter, was 5 for 16 in Game 2. Catchings noted that Pondexter did what she wanted during much of the last game, but didn’t finish.

“We have to be more committed to keeping people out of the middle,” Catchings said. “Cappie, down the stretch, got to the middle way too much.”

Part of Indiana’s defensive strategy in Game 2 was to be patient on offense and make Phoenix play at an uncomfortable pace.

“We have to do what we did last game,” she said. “If they score a couple baskets, we have to slow it down, we have to pound the ball inside.”

Phoenix forward Penny Taylor is expected to play in Game 3 after being elbowed in the mouth during Game 2.

Gaines said Taylor was doing fine after receiving treatment and will be ready to resume her role off the bench.

The Fever were all business on Thursday, showing no sign of celebration after their win in Phoenix. For just a few moments after their return Friday, Catchings and Douglas allowed themselves to enjoy the adulation that the team only recently has started to receive from fans. The reception at the Indianapolis International Airport offered a boost for the weary team.

“It definitely woke me up,” Douglas said. “I was kind of tired. There’s an energy and excitement, and people are now embracing this team.”

Favre will have to stick to the system.

“You do yourself the best service staying within the system,” Childress said. “That’s what it’s there for. You’re going to get called on to make those off-schedule plays from time to time, but there’s a reason that system’s there.”

Favre isn’t worried about controlling his emotions or staying within the system, given the talent he has around him.

“I think what helps here, obviously, is more than anything, is having a running game with Adrian Peterson,” Favre said. “That’s not to say he won’t be stopped. I thought San Francisco did a heck of a job. But you feel like that’s always kind of a crutch for you to fall back on. A pretty good one, too.”

For all the Favre hype, this game could come down to each team’s apparent weaknesses. Neither has done a particularly good job protecting its quarterback, although the Packers could get a boost if veteran left tackle Chad Clifton returns from a right ankle injury.

Beyond that, the Packers’ new 3-4 defense needs to stop Peterson, and the Vikings’ improved pass defense needs to prevent Rodgers from getting the ball downfield to a talented group of receivers.

But Vikings kicker Ryan Longwell, who also played in Green Bay, knows people will be tuning in for No. 4.

“I told my kids that ’High School Musical’ is the highest-rated cable show ever,” Longwell said. “This will probably beat it out.”

——— AP Sports Writers R.B. Fallstrom in St. Louis and Dave Campbell and Jon Krawczynski in Minneapolis contributed to this report.

bit,” Rodgers said. “But I’m just continually trying to be critical of myself every time I watch film, and continue to improve.”

Vikings coach Brad Childress expects his defense to be challenged by Rodgers’ strong arm and underrated mobility. Rodgers rushed eight times for 38 yards in Sunday’s win at St. Louis.

“Those are demoralizing things for a defense that’s got everybody covered,” Childress said.

“But (he has) very good athleticism, and I just see him continue to grow in that system. There’s not any indecisiveness that I’m able to tell.”

Still, Favre will be the main attraction. Will his emotions get the best of him?

Everybody remembers Favre’s four-touchdown performance in Oakland after his father died in 2003. But when matched up against a Seattle team led by exPackers coach and Favre mentor Mike Holmgren in 1999, Favre threw four interceptions in a 27-7 loss.

Current Packers coach Mike McCarthy was Favre’s position coach at the time, and said he didn’t do a very good job calming down Favre that day.

“I could remember the first interception like it was yesterday because he tried to throw it through three people to the post down in the red zone,” McCarthy said. “He was gunned up for that game. But frankly, he was in some tough spots in that game, too. I’m not just crying because I was his position coach and it didn’t go very well. But that was a rough night.”

Childress has talked to Favre about controlling his emotions this week, just as he would with any player facing his former team. For the Vikings to go far this year,

Dylan Herina 13, uses his cell phone to text at his families’ home in Ringwood N.J. Dylan has strict rules as to when and where he can text.

Don’t text with your mouth full!

The changing world of parenting in the digital age

By KARYN D. COLLINS For The Associated Press

Holly Kopczynski always prided herself on raising her kids the right way, teaching them etiquette basics like saying “please” and “thank you.”

Then it happened.

“We were at a restaurant for my mom’s birthday. I looked over and there are my daughter and my oldest son texting, holding their phones under the table,” said the mom of four in Lewiston, Idaho. “I just came unglued. I was like, ‘Are you kidding? You’re at your grandma’s birthday party.

Put those phones away now!”’

We all know teens love their gadgets — more for texting than talking. But the devices are posing

some new challenges for parents. How can they teach their tech-savvy kids some electronic etiquette?

So far, parents are learning on the fly, imposing new rules for their young offenders such as “no texting at dinner.”

Beth Herina of Ringwood, N.J., made that rule two years ago because her 13-year-old son was texting friends at the dinner table. She has another rule, too: No texting on family outings.

“He can text en route but not when it is family time,” she said. “And I ask questions about who he is texting.”

Her son Dylan may not like mom’s rules, but she considers them mild. Her brother-in-law goes into his children’s cell phone accounts to read their texts.

When it comes to gadgets like cell phones and computers, some kids and even some adults don’t seem to consider their gadget behavior rude, said P.M. Forni, co-founder of Johns Hopkins University’s Civility Initiative.

“We’re seeing behavior that you never would have seen before,” he said. “Students getting up in the middle of class to answer their phones, texting during class, students watching TV on their laptops during lectures.”

Kopczynski said she told her 20-year-old son and 16-year-old daughter to shut their phones off and put them away, which they did, but it was their reaction to her order that still bothers her.

“That was a sad moment for me,” she said. “I

grew up with rules, the ‘no elbows on the table’ kind of things. And I’ve raised my kids with that. But they didn’t even realize what they were doing.”

It’s not only cell phones that parents are restricting.

Many are establishing control over their children’s computer use — setting themselves up as administrators for Internet accounts, asking kids questions about who they are communicating with online, and at times looking directly over their shoulders at the screen.

Some even go so far as to put the computer in a common area of the house so they can monitor the sites their children are visiting.

Laura Lambert, a Chicago mom of four, tries

not to implement time limits and other rules.

Her 16-year-old son has his own laptop now after years of using the family computer.

“What I’ve found is if you say you only get 90 minutes, they obsess about it all day and they rush through everything else and it almost elevates the importance of it,” she said.

“I find they regulate (their usage) better if I just say ’I want you to balance your time better so you can get everything else done.”’

For kids, the rules and parent checks can seem intrusive and a bit extreme.

Kopczynski’s daughter Kaitlyn had her phone taken away recently because she was texting after her mother told her to turn it off.

“I guess I understand why there are rules,” Kaitlyn said. “But I don’t think I’m that bad. I have a lot of friends who don’t have rules at all.”

Joy Weaver, whose Dallas-based Protocol Enterprises offers etiquette classes for all ages, said parents should begin establishing rules and expectations early on about cell phones and computer use. Monitor usage closely with the help of available applications and programs, she said.

Sending a consistent message to children is also crucial.

“You can’t have two sets of rules,” she said. “If you don’t want your children to text at the dinner table you need to ignore your own phone or excuse yourself from the table, too.”

Kissing your baby goodbye: Moms deal with loss of public affection

By LISA A. FLAM Associated Press Writer

We were only two weeks into the school year when my son hopped up the school bus steps one morning before I could kiss him goodbye.

I called his name, and my not-so-littleanymore fourth-grader turned to give me that knowing look, fully aware that we had skipped the morning ritual.

So after trudging back into a quiet house, I did what any mom in the modern age would do: I updated my online status to say the missed kiss had gotten me down. Within minutes, I was comforted to know I was not alone.

“That started last year for me. I’m sad about it too,” Laura wrote about her 9-year-old son.

“Aw-w-w … hated when the boys did that,” added Linda, the wise mom of two sons, 14 and 12, who then warned: “Soon it will just be a head nod in passing as a hello!”

With my son’s ninth birthday quickly approaching, I figured that he was embarrassed and that the dissed kiss was another sign of his growing independence.

My instincts were right. The shunning of parental PDAs usually happens sometime in grade school, when kids’ social scenes are expanding. That’s when they’re more aware of people’s percep-

Job satisfaction aside, it still hurts.

But Scarlett says parents shouldn’t feel bad because their children’s love, though no longer visible in public, is likely to be just as strong — if not stronger — than when they were toddling around clinging to their pant leg.

With so many moms of boys weighing in, I wondered if I’d be back in this situation in four years, when my kissy-face daughter reaches the age her brother is today. To my relief, my friends told me, the girls keep on kissing a bit longer.

That’s true, Scarlett said, because a mom’s kiss can be threatening to her son’s developing masculinity.

“Kissing by mothers is something that makes boys look childish, unmanly, babylike — not tough, as most boys wish to be perceived,” Scarlett said. “Girls, on the other hand, can work out independence and autonomy while still being kissed — because being kissed doesn’t threaten their being feminine.”

So the good news for moms of those burping and bathroom-humor-loving boys is that they will likely embrace a parent’s public affection again when they’re older teenagers or young adults, experts said.

“Sometimes you have to turn your back on the past to get through the door to the future — and that’s what happens when a child gets on a bus in the morning without kissing mommy goodbye,” Scarlett says.

I’m not looking to rush my son’s childhood away. So these days, I’ll happily settle for giving him a big goodnight kiss, right in the privacy of his room.

(Below) The Vance-Granville Community College Board of Trustees recognized D. Bernard Alston of Henderson, right, with a plaque for his years of service to the college at the board’s meeting on Sept. 21. Board Chairman Donald C. Seifert Sr., left, presented the award.

VGCC board receives program funding, recognizes Alston The Vance-Granville Community College Board of Trustees held its regular bimonthly meeting on Sept.

21 at the college’s Henderson campus.

At that meeting, N.C. Tobacco Trust Fund Commission Board Member Pete Burgess of Henderson presented the college with a check for $46,000 to help fund the Project Skill-UP Program at the college.

The Project Skill-UP grant was developed by the Trust Fund Commission and is a collaborative effort with the N.C. Community College System to help individuals in rural counties of North Carolina that were specifically affected by lost jobs, wages, or income due to the decline in the tobacco industry.

Skill-UP funds can be used to help students pay

for tuition, books, fees, supplies and travel to attend classes at any of VGCC’s four campuses. The college has received funding from the N.C. Tobacco Trust Fund Commission for Project SkillUP each year since 2006.

Also at the meeting, the board recognized D. Bernard Alston of Henderson with a plaque for his years of service to the college. The Vance County Board of Commissioners appointed Alston to the board in July 1997.

Alston served on the board through June 2009.

In other business, the board voted to approve the 2009-2010 college budget as presented. The total projected budget for the college is $39,998,409.

President Randy Parker reported to the board that enrollment is slightly up

at the college. Parker also reported that approximately 37,060 individuals in the community had used the Civic Center, gazebo and meeting rooms at the Henderson campus for public and private events within the community from June 2008 through June 2009.

Parker also invited board members to the college’s 40th Anniversary Ball, a dinner and dance to be held in the Civic Center on Saturday, Oct. 3, and to the “Festival for the 40th,” an outdoor festival for the community to celebrate the college’s anniversary to be held at the main campus on Oct. 10.

The next regular meeting of the board will be held on Monday, Nov. 16 at 7 p.m. in the board room on the main campus.

Concert series sponsors N.C. Symphony concert for fourth graders Vance County Schools fourth graders were treated to an educational concert by the North Carolina Symphony on Sept 29.

The performance was sponsored by the Henderson Community Concert Association as a part of its outreach program, and was held in the VGCC Civic Center Auditorium.

Granville Little Theatre opens season with ‘The Pajama Game’ The first show of the 2009-2010 Granville Little Theatre season will be the prize-winning musical, “The Pajama Game.” Shows are scheduled for Oct. 9-10 and Oct.16-17 at 7:30 p.m. and on Oct. 11 at 2:30 p.m.

Made famous by the 1957 Doris Day and John Raitt movie, the play was

most recently performed on Broadway in 2006, staring Harry Connick Jr. Only American expertise could have created a musical like this — a story about a trade union dispute set against a background of factory machines, with factory hands, office workers and shop stewards. Yet it is one of

the happiest, most romantic and richly comical musicals ever to be packed with hit tunes.

The musical opens with the imminent strike at the Sleep-Tite Pajama Factory. The union is seeking a wage increase of 7.5 cents an hour. Sid and Babe are in opposite camps of this

dispute, yet a romance is born between them. A slow down is staged by the union, strongly supported

by Babe, while Sid, as factory superintendent, demands an “honest day’s work” and threatens to fire slackers. Hines, the popular efficiency expert, is in love with Gladys, the president’s

secretary, but becoming convinced that Babe’s championship of the Union is justified. Sid fakes an interest in Gladys, taking her out for an evening at the night club, Hernando’s Hideaway. With her help, he is eventually able to gain access to the firm’s books.

There he makes a discovery

that brings peace to the factory — and to his love life.

All performances of “The Pajama Game” are at the Oxford City Hall Auditorium. Tickets are $12 for adults, $8 for seniors and children. For more information, go to www.granvilleittletheatre.com or call (919) 482-0777.

SUNDAY CRYPTOQUOTE — Good intentions will always be

ARIES (March 21-April 19). The successful formula is the same as it was yesterday: imagination plus work. The only difference is you are getting better at doing both things in a positive and specific way.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

If you disagree, do so in a manner that the other person is likely to feel OK about. The words you choose will make a big difference.

Instead of saying, “I don’t like that,” say, “I prefer it this way.”

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

You take pride in acting correctly, although sometimes it’s not so obvious what that would look like.

You’ll be in a situation that seems to have no rules. It’s the perfect chance for you to set a standard for others.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Plans won’t fall into place exactly the way you expected them to.

On the bright side, you’ll be in the company of happy people who make you smile and laugh. What could be better?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Learning is not arduous work for you — in fact, it’s no work at all when the information is something you’re truly interested in. If your current subject of study leaves you feeling flat, see if you can change it.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The people around you are trying to help, but you are the one who is likely to come up with the winning answer. So refrain from delegating where possible. Try to sort things out on your own.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Creativity is not just for poets and painters. Whether you are throwing together a meal plan or organizing your sock drawer, you’ll pull brilliant ideas down from the ether to complete the task with remarkable flair.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

You are a catalyst. Your energy changes whatever you get involved with. Your contribution to an organization might seem to you to be cursory, but you make a bigger difference than you think.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll be thinking about your history, and you’ll likely discover some gaps in your memory. It’s a wonderful opportunity to reach out and ask the other people who were there to share some experiences of you at that time.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Your natural state is hopeful, joyful and positive. However, negative emotions serve a purpose, too. Be mindful not to try to block them out. They are messages, the interpretations of which will be keys to your happiness.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

You’ve pushed yourself hard, and now it’s time for you to rest — essential for your rejuvenation. You’ll know that your recovery is complete when you feel calm, relaxed and relieved.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It’s not really fair, what’s being asked of you, but you learned long ago that life doesn’t have to be fair to be wonderful. Anyway, you feel empowered to meet the demands and show your super-human emotional strength.

Sony’s ‘PSP go’ delivers tighter handheld gaming

By LOU KESTEN Associated Press Writer

Sony’s PlayStation Portable is the most high-powered handheld video-game machine on the market, but it’s usually my third choice when it comes to on-the-road action.

It’s all a matter of size.

Apple’s iPhone, which has become a solid casual-gaming platform, slides easily into a pants pocket. Nintendo’s DS fits a little more snugly. But even the slimmest version of the old PSP is still nearly 7 inches long and too bulky to carry on everyday errands.

The newest model of Sony’s handheld, the “PSP go” ($250), is less demanding. Only 5 inches long (by 2.75 inches tall by a halfinch thick), it’s just a little bigger than an iPhone.

Sony has accomplished this feat with a number of tricks. The video screen is about a half-inch smaller

(diagonally), though it has the same wide-screen ratio and looks as sharp as ever.

The controls that were once on the sides of the screen are now on a panel that slides out from under the screen.

Most significantly, there’s no longer a slot or a drive for the Universal Media Discs that contain PSP games and videos. There’s no longer a need to carry a UMD for each game; instead, all your media can be stored on the PSP go’s 16-gigabyte hard drive or a tiny memory stick.

That also means no more trips to the game store.

Instead, you have to download software from Sony’s PlayStation Store. Sony says there are more than 225 games available, as well as 2,300 movies and 13,300 TV episodes.

If you do already own a PSP, you’ll want to hold onto it, because there’s no way to transfer your UMD-based games to the PSP go.

DEAR ABBY: My son, “Jeremy,” age 25, married his high school sweetheart a little more than a year ago. They live about 4 1/2 hours away.

When Jeremy was growing up, he and I were very close.

Since his marriage I have tried not to call as often as I did when he was single. I do call, but now I limit it to once every few weeks, although he rarely answers his phone. I wanted to let him call at his convenience.

He has told me that e-mail is the best way to reach him.

The problem is, he doesn’t respond to my e-mails, doesn’t answer my calls and rarely phones me to see how our family is doing.

I was recently ill and Jeremy didn’t even call to see how I was. I’m hurt, and part of me wants to tell him so. I’m afraid if I do I’ll alienate him, but I feel he’s already alienated. What should I do?

This is really starting to bother me. My son doesn’t call his younger brother either (his best man) like before. Should we just back off and leave Jeremy alone? — IN A SPOT IN VIRGINIA DEAR IN A SPOT: Your son’s life has changed and he has new responsibilities since his marriage, but that’s no excuse for him not to answer calls and e-mails from you — especially if they are as few and far between as you have described. His behavior is extremely rude, and one can only hope it isn’t because his bride has taken over and rules the roost. You deserve some answers, so by all means clear the air.

your husband realized that the flirtation was ongoing, he punished you in a cruel way.

Two wrongs do NOT make a right. And my advice to you and Jake is to sit down with a marriage counselor, figure out where your relationship went off track and decide, calmly, whether your marriage is worth saving.

SPORTS

DEAR ABBY: Several months ago I made a terrible mistake and e-mailed “Tom” — a friend I had a crush on — some topless pictures of myself. Tom rejected me because he is happily married. I am married, too, and when my husband, “Jake,” discovered the pictures on our computer and realized what I had done, we discussed it and agreed to put them aside and never talk about them again.

Because Tom and I are friends and he was doing some repair work on our home, I have spoken to him on my cell phone numerous times.

When Jake saw the phone records and Dear realized I Abby was still U niversal Press talking to Tom, he Syndicate posted my pictures on an Internet porn site for all the world to see and blamed Tom so I wouldn’t speak to him anymore.

Abby, Jake never told me I couldn’t speak to Tom. That he made me believe that Tom was the bad guy is upsetting, even though I was wrong in the first place for sending my pictures to him. Do two wrongs make a right? I’m so upset by what Jake did that I don’t want him to touch me. In fact, I want a divorce. I don’t know what to do. Please help me. — LINDA IN TEXAS DEAR LINDA: Your husband was willing to forgive and forget the fact that you were trying to start an affair by sending the photos to Tom. When you “discussed it and agreed never to talk about them again,” he took for granted that you would end the “friendship.” And you should have. Your actions weren’t platonic and were a threat to your own marriage. When

‘SuperFetch’ out to prove that any dog can learn any trick

By FRAZIER MOORE AP Television Writer

NEW YORK (AP) — Maybe you don’t worry about spoiling your new manicure before your nails can dry. But Anne does.

Maybe you don’t have a problem with company leaving your toilet seat up or, worse, forgetting to flush.

Kimberly does.

Fortunately, they are both owners of dogs that, with the right kind of training can lend a helpful paw.

Thanks to pet trainer extraordinaire Zak George, that’s about to happen on “SuperFetch,” which puts the “can” in canine when it premieres Saturday at 8 p.m.

EDT on Animal Planet. It’s educational and fun, for dogs and humans alike. “’SuperFetch’ is the first show that doesn’t focus on fixing a broken dog,” says George. “We look for people who are interested in interacting with their dog, taking their relationship with their dog to the next level, and making their already great dog even greater.”

On the first episode, George steps in to craft a training plan for Anne and her English cocker spaniel, Oliver.

Oliver learns how to save her manicure by plucking cash from her purse to pay the manicurist and, when he and Anne arrive home, grabbing the house keys to open their front door.

Then Kimberly’s Bernese mountain dog, Bear, learns how to drop the toilet seat and flush on command whenever Kimberly’s boyfriend or brother has failed to do so. Another episode (airing at 8:30 p.m.

EDT) finds George furnishing tips on how to teach a bulldog to tend bar and an Australian shepherd to bowl.

In the future, look for answers to questions such as these: Can a dog serve as “wingman” to help her dateless owner meet women?

Make the bed? Square dance?

Or fetch a beer from the fridge for his master, who is relaxing on the sofa?

George says the key to the process is making it fun for the dog, which means identifying the “currency” the dog values most: snacks for a job well done, or maybe camouflaging the learning process as a familiar game the dog already loves.

“Dogs want to please us, but they also want to know what’s in it for them,” George notes.

It’s basic problem-solving: You break the trick into steps, and if you can make each step amusing, your dog (and you) will be all the more motivated.

“I like teaching a dog how to think, and more importantly, I like teaching the parents how to think and how to interact with their dog,” says George.

A 30-year-old Atlanta native, he used to sell real estate until six years ago. Then he became the proud owner of Venus, a brainy border collie.

“Once I saw her potential, I needed to come up with an excuse to work with her every waking moment of the day,” he says. That led to a new career for George as a pet trainer and, with Venus, a celebrity couple on YouTube videos and TV appearances including “Late Show With David Letterman.”

For the record, Venus’ currency is Frisbee, which, George says, is her favorite thing in the world. Playing Frisbee with Venus is one of George’s favorite things, too.

From that sort of chemistry, learning can result.

“These tricks are never about the trick, they are always about the bond that occurs while teaching the trick,” says George. “The best way to bond with your dog is to teach them an amazing trick. But the trick is secondary to what we learn from our dogs in the process.”

That’s the real lesson that “SuperFetch” teaches.

Sirius XM Radio passing $2 royalty fees to its subscribers

By DEBORAH YAO AP Business Writer

Listeners of Sirius XM Radio Inc. are getting $2 fees added to their monthly satellite radio bills, in what’s effectively a price increase for consumers.

Sirius XM, whose talk show celebrities include Howard Stern, is passing along performance royalty fees paid to singers, musicians and recording companies.

In approving the deal, the Federal Communications Commission barred the combined company from raising prices for three years. That means Sirius could only collect the royalty fees through a separate surcharge, which the FCC allowed the company to start charging after a year, or July 29, 2009.

New York-based Sirius began charging customers in August. The company said it started notifying them of the charge by e-mail and postal mail in mid-June.

But tech blogger and commentator Lauren Weinstein found out last weekend that he got dinged for the $2 fee when he looked at his credit card bill. He said he didn’t get any notification from Sirius about the charge beforehand.

While Weinstein said he understands that Sirius is

passing along a cost it had to pay, “money is money to the customer at the other end ... A couple of bucks here, a couple of bucks there, it all adds up to something real.”

Sirius spokesman Patrick Reilly said customers sometimes miss e-mail messages or overlook letters sent to them.

The fees go back to the late 1990s, when the recording industry won the right to collect royalties for performers as their songs play over satellite, Internet and cable radio. Currently, there is a fight to make broadcast radio stations pay the same fee.

Sirius said customers with lifetime subscriptions, or who subscribe to news, sports and talk radio packages with little music, will not have to pay the fee. Those with annual or multiyear contracts will pay the fee upon renewal of their subscriptions.

Subscribers of the base $12.95 a month package will see $1.98 a month added to their bills. Those who subscribe to a second radio service will see an additional 97-cent fee.

Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. bought XM in July 2008 in an all-stock deal worth $2.76 billion, combining the nation’s only two satellite radio operators that now serve 18.4 million subscribers.

Who Was Nikola Tesla?

Everyday in the United States electricity is used in homes and businesses to turn on the lights. If you think about this process, you may recall the inventor of the light bulb, Thomas Edison. But what about the inventor who made it possible to have the AC power running in our homes? That manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name was Nikola Tesla. Tesla was born on July 10, 1856, in Smiljan, Croatia. Tesla was known for being a very intelligent student with a photographic memory. He attended the University of Prague in the early 1880â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, focusing on the ďŹ eld of electrical engineering. His most widely known invention, the alternating-current (or AC power) was created in 1882, after his departure from University. He came to the United States in 1884 and worked brieďŹ&#x201A;y for Thomas Edison. By 1888, Tesla had patented his invention and sold those rights to a man named George Westinghouse. Westinghouse implemented the AC power system into all American homes and is still a major electric corporation today. This implementation was made possible by another invention of Teslaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, the Tesla coil. This coil made the transmission of the AC power possible on a large scale. Without these inventions, society as we know it would run on a much different type of power.

In 1956, a new unit of measurement was named after the famous inventor in honor of all his achievements. Nikola Tesla passed away on January 7, 1943, in New York City.

Home decor gets a pop-art punch

By KIM COOK For The Associated Press

Texan collector and decorator Andrea Reed grew up in a home filled with Pop Art, but it was the film “Tommy” that really made a lasting impression.

In particular, a scene where Tommy’s mother (played by AnnMargret) sings “in an all-white room with a white ball chair. I was forever hooked,” says Reed.

She and her husband have painted their own living room six times, plucking from the Pantone candy box of orange, blue and pinky-purple. Other parts of the house also have received the Pop Art treatment, including the kitchen, which has a rainbow on the pantry. With a white Fiberglass sofa, ball chair a la “Men in Black,” and zingy graphics throughout the house, Reed’s on top of a trend that swings in and out like a “Solid Gold” dancer.

With our continued interest in mid-century decor, it’s no surprise to see Pop Art back for a visit.

Pop Art was a major mover in late ’60s and ’70s decor. The space race inspired futuristic furnishings, and designers were influenced by a generation experimenting with free-spirited ideas. Think of Roy Lichtenstein’s blown-up comic book art; “2001: A Space Odyssey;” Andy Warhol’s Campbell’s soup can. The style is characterized by emphatic colors, strong graphics and bold furniture.

There are many ways to add a bit of “pop” to your rooms with furniture, accent pieces and color.

Don’t worry about kitsch; this is all about being fun and fresh.

CB2 has the Sol pendant lamp, a sleek white globe with a sunny yellow interior. Add Inmod’s curvy Aarnio-style ball chair, Sputnik light fixture and a bigger-thanlife wall graphic and you’re well on your way to putting the word “mod” back in your vocabulary.

Design Toscano has a flirty, lip-shaped chair in red, and Innermost’s Kapow pendant light is a groovy tangle of white spirals.

Dezignwithaz.com has wall decals in squares or circles that evoke ’70s style.

Or consider comic book art: It complements this decor well with intense hues and lively imagery.

British decoupage artist Amelia Coward covers home acces-

sories and chairs in comic book pages, and will do custom projects through her Bombus studio.

Surfaceview, also in the United Kingdom, will ship a ready-toframe or ready-framed repro art panel from a vintage comic; Silver Surfer, The Hulk and romance comics are striking. Add a playful element to adult spaces with Roommates’ giant Iron Man decal, or a mural composed of dozens of Marvel comic book covers.

Two’s Company launched a fun collection of Pop Art accessories this summer. They include comicbook alliterative words like “Pow!” and “Wham!” printed on trinket boxes and frames.

Design studio French Bull, known for melamine dishware and coordinating linens in contemporary patterns, has several with a touch of Pop, including Ring, Mosaic and Pink Paisley. They’ve also got a new line of porcelain mugs printed with kicky Pop-Arty astrological motifs.

With shag rugs, hip modern furniture, shots of black and white to punch up the bright hues, and an array of audacious graphics, the groove is right on. So let your inner Austin Powers loose in a room or two this fall. Bam! Zoom!, baby.

by C. Eugene Bobbitt, III, RLS, dated June 11, 1985.

Save and except any releases, deeds of release or prior conveyances of record.

Said property is commonly known as 579 North Beckford Drive, Henderson, NC 27536.

Third party purchasers must pay the excise tax, and the court costs of Forty-Five Cents (45¢) per One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) pursuant to NCGS 7A-308(a)(1). A cash deposit (no personal checks) of five percent (5%) of the purchase price, or Seven Hundred Fifty Dollars ($750.00), whichever is greater, will be required at the time of the sale.

Following the expiration of the statutory upset bid period, all the remaining amounts are immediately due and owing.

Said property to be offered pursuant to this Notice of Sale is being offered for sale, transfer and conveyance “AS IS WHERE IS.” There are no representations of warranty relating to the title or any physical, environmental, health or safety conditions existing in, on, at, or relating to the property being offered for sale.

This sale is made subject to all prior liens, unpaid taxes, any unpaid land transfer taxes, special assessments, easements, rights of way, deeds of release, and any other encumbrances or

exceptions of record. To the best of the knowledge and belief of the undersigned, the current owner(s) of the property is/are Kenneth Brooks and wife, Patricia Brooks.

An Order for possession of the property may be issued pursuant to G.S. 4521.29 in favor of the purchaser and against the party or parties in possession by the clerk of superior court of the county in which the property is sold. Any person who occupies the property pursuant to a rental agreement entered into or renewed on or after October 1, 2007, may, after receiving the notice of sale, terminate the rental agreement upon 10 days’ written notice to the landlord. The notice shall also state that upon termination of a rental agreement, the tenant is liable for rent due under the rental agreement prorated to the effective date of the termination.

If the trustee is unable to convey title to this property for any reason, the sole remedy of the purchaser is the return of the deposit.

Reasons of such inability to convey include, but are not limited to, the filing of a bankruptcy petition prior to the confirmation of the sale and reinstatement of the loan without the knowledge of the trustee. If the validity of the sale is challenged by any party, the trustee, in their sole discretion, if they believe the challenge to have merit, may request the court to declare the sale to be void and return the deposit. The purchaser will have no further remedy.

This is a communication from a debt collector.

If you are under the protection of the bankruptcy court or have been discharged as a result of a bankruptcy proceeding, this notice is given to you pursuant to statutory requirement and for informational purposes and is not intended as an attempt to collect a debt or as an act to collect, assess, or recover all or any portion of the debt from you

personally.
