law enforcement officer” who has an impeccable work record and many letters of commendation. White said Marrow is certified in all areas of law enforcement. A native of Vance County, Marrow graduated from Vance Senior High School in 1977 and served in the U.S. Army from 1977 to 1984. A deputy since May 1 of 1987, Marrow was promoted to sergeant on Aug. 17 of 1992. He has been the child support enforcement officer since 2000. During a more somber part of the program Thursday night, the Sheriff presented a Special Memorial Award to the family of Deputy Brandon Scott Coker, The 27-year-old ex-paratrooper died shortly after 10 p.m. on April 25 when his patrol car went out of control on Nutbush Road and struck a tree. According to White, Coker was
OXFORD — The municipal government is holding off allocating funds to correct sinking spots on the west side of the Police Department building at 204 E. McClanahan St., with the plan for now being to replace a worn- out boiler dating back to the building’s 1978 opening. The City Commission’s meeting agenda on Tuesday will include considering approval of a Shope budget amendment of $10,254 for the heating system, with the quote being $12,754 and a contribution from Walmart to be used to cover the difference. Donham Still, Commissioner Bob Shope near the end of Monday evening’s agenda meeting expressed concern about structure failure to City Manager Mark Donham and Lastname Police Chief John Wolford, who was in the audience. And Shope asked, “Why don’t we fix this before it gets worse?” “Well, we determined at this point that’s not a critical factor at this point,” Donham said. “Believe me, if I felt like this was a serious problem, we would spend the money to fix it.” Shope said he is looking at trying to save money now instead of spending more greenbacks later. “It’s a balance we’ve got,” Donham said, noting Oxford has many issues requiring capital expenditures. The subject of the condition of the building was discussed two years ago, when Wolford called for an upgrade of the aging station to help meet the needs of an ever-burgeoning city up from the Raleigh-Durham area and along the ever-busy Interstate 85 corridor. The building’s sinking spots are evidenced by a decline in the floor by a window and cracks over the men’s restroom door. Wolford, under questioning from Shope moments earlier at the Monday agenda meeting, said of the building, “Well, I can’t say that it’s failing any more significantly than it was at this time last year.” “We’re still sinking a tad,” Wolford said. “We have not done another evaluation. We actually put it in the capital budget this past year and you guys decided that wasn’t appropriate at this time.” “It is what it is,” Wolford said, noting he could not say much more without a professional evaluation of the building. Wolford said the last estimate to make repairs was in the range of $26,000-$30,000 and noted the quote is approximately two years old. Donham, who was hired as manager in May 2008, said of the building, “We did look at it” ap-

Another scam reported by woman, 88 Henderson Police are still looking for Phillip Wayne Coley, 37, and Tammy Dawn Moore, 34, a local couple suspected of running a “grandparent scam” in September. Investigators think 88-year-old Myrtle Waite, who reported Wednesday that $347 was taken from her under false pretenses Sept. 18, could be another of their victims. According to Detective Lt. C.O. Pulley, Waite is believed to have been preyed upon at her apartment on Coble Boulevard by a member of the fraud team. One of them said during a phone call that they were relatives of the latest, targeted elderly person, Pulley explained. The standard operating procedure, he added, is for Coley or Moore to mention that their vehicle is broken down on the side of a road, that they need money for a wrecker, and that they will send someone to them to

VGCC seminar focuses on environment and epidemics With influenza the subject of much discussion this fall, Vance-Granville Community College began a series of seminars on epidemics with a Sept. 16 presentation that focused on the relationship between epidemics and the natural environment. Students, faculty, staff and members of the community gathered in the VGCC Civic Center to learn from three of the college’s Arts and Sciences instructors. VGCC biology instructor Phyllis “Button” Brady started the discussion with the statement that “it’s all about food,” meaning that anything that happens at any point in our food chain, including epidemic diseases, eventually affects humans. She added that humans notonly consume
food but also “consume our world,” in terms of environmental impact. Brady introduced her fellow Biology instructors Dr. Blanche Haning and Dr. Dan Settles to talk specifically about plants and animals, respectively. Haning discussed the causes of disease in plants, which are “the basis of most food chains and the basis of human civilization.” Disease is rare in the wild, and epidemics even more rare, Haning pointed out. She said that land degradation leads to crops that are unhealthy and prone to sickness. Settles said that researchers have attributed the recent upsurge in infectious disease among humans to our increasing

population and mobility. “Now, we can jump on a plane and be in another country in a few hours, where we might be exposed to new organisms,” Settles said. Diseases spread not only due to increased human-to-human contact but also through increased human contact with animals, some of whom carry diseases that humans have not encountered before. As pathogens are transmitted from species to species, they are more likely to evolve and reach an epidemic level. Brady concluded that sustainable environmental and agricultural practices are key to maintaining human health. The series on epidemics continues on Wednesday,

SINKING, from page one proximately four months ago. “I guess what we couldn’t see or determine” whether the slab was cracked, Donham said. “It actually looks like the whole slab is kind of leaning a certain amount,” Donham said. What is causing the gaps are the foundations holding up the walls separate from the floor, Donham said. “And so it looks like the floor is slightly sinking, but the foundations are in place and it’s holding the rest of the building up,” Donham said. While Donham agreed with Shope about the need for attention to the building, Donham said the priority is replacing the boiler. And the city agenda says the boiler is not sufficient to pass inspection. The boiler was discussed moments earlier in the agenda meeting. Mike Brummitt Heating & Cooling has been keeping the boiler operational. Commissioner Bob
Williford wanted to know whether the city needed to put the replacement up for bidding. Donham said he talked to Kenny Manning, who supposedly obtained two bids. Manning is the city’s superintendent of buildings and grounds. And Donham said of the condition of the boiler, “They’ve been hobbling along for several years now.” And Donham said Manning told him Brummitt provided good service. And Williford said he did not want the municipal government to go outside the city for the business. Mayor Pro Tem Howard Herring asked whether Manning approved the vendor or the funding. Donham said he gave the approval after Manning did the research. Herring said, “I have nothing against Mr. Brummitt, but we have some other people in the city that does stuff.” Donham said Manning believed there was no one
else in the city qualified to make the replacement, with Herring replying, “That’s not true.” Donham, in attempting to respond to Herring, qualified his answer by saying, “Now, I don’t know.” Wolford said he and Manning talked and said Brummitt is a vendor whom the city has depended on for many repairs and cited Brummitt’s knowledge of the system and Brummitt being a local contractor. And Wolford said he believes the municipal government has received a solid bid.

Commissioner Chance Wilkinson told Herring, “Well, I think, too, Howard, if you’ve got a guy that’s coming out there and been working with them and doing this nickel-and-dime work, you know, if the price is competitive, he ought to get the final (bid) and put in the new system.” Herring said he was not upset and, as he does at times at commission meetings, remarked, “That’s what so great about democracy.” Contact the writer at bwest@ hendersondispatch.com.

Neither is every wife. Neither is every mother. The stress on the family is tremendous.” Crime Stoppers is a team effort between law enforcement officers and the public, White said. “Law enforcement is kind of like the sheep dog, and people are like sheep,” he analogized. “Sometimes the sheep don’t want the sheep dog around until the wolf is in the area.”

Retailers see sales begin to recover in September By ANNE D’INNOCENZIO AP Retail Writer
NEW YORK — The nation’s stores saw their first sales gain in 14 months in September, a sign of life from shoppers that fuels some hope for the holiday shopping season. A late Labor Day and delayed school openings helped boost back-toschool sales in September. And stores’ figures are looking better as they are compared last September when spending plummeted amid the ballooning financial meltdown. But analysts dissecting the figures say they feel encouraged by Thursday’s reports even as they acknowledge that business still remains weak and consumers tight-fisted. “Let the retail recovery begin,” said Michael P. Niemira, chief economist at International Council of Shopping Centers. “This is the start of a better performance and better fundamentals.” The International Council of Shopping CentersGoldman Sachs preliminary tally registered an increase of 0.1 percent for September, compared with a 1.0 percent drop a year ago. While still tepid, the results mark the first gain since July 2008, when the index was up 1.3 percent. The tally is based on sales at stores opened at least a year and are considered a key indicator of a retailer’s health. The tally excludes Wal-Mart Stores Inc., which stopped reporting monthly sales after it released April results. Stores had struggled with 13 straight months of sales declines, hitting the bottom in November 2008 when sales plummeted 7.7 percent. Niemira had projected a
2 percent drop in sales at stores open at least a year for September. As stores announced their results Thursday, J.C. Penney Co., Macy’s Inc., and Target Corp. all reported smaller-thanexpected declines in sales at stores open at least a year. Limited Brands Inc., which runs Victoria’s Secret and Bath & Body Works, and accessories chain The Buckle Inc. both posted increases for the month. Still, industry worries remain high heading into the holiday shopping season because shoppers, many of whom were afraid to spend a year ago, are now grappling with rising job losses, reduced hours or unavailable credit. The unemployment rate is now 9.8 percent, up from around 7 percent last holiday season. The latest government report on jobless benefits, released Thursday, showed that the number of newly laid-off workers filing first-time claims for jobless benefits fell to the lowest level since early January, as layoffs abate amid a fledgling economic recovery. The fourth drop in new claims in five weeks reflects an improving labor market, but employers are still hesitant to hire new workers and the unemployment rate is expected to keep climbing well into next year. Credit also remains tight. A report released Wednesday by the Federal Reserve, shows that consumers reduced their borrowing for the seventh straight month in August as households cut spending and banks reduced credit card limits. “Consumers remain under pressure on multiple
fronts,” said Ken Perkins, president of retail research firm Retail Metrics. “I don’t think consumer spending is going to see a substantial uptick. Shoppers are concerned about rebuilding their balance sheets.” In this climate, purveyors of fashion and nondiscretionary items continue to post sluggish sales, while low-price stores benefit from shoppers switching to cheaper stores and brands. Still, the tone was better in Thursday’s reports, as several merchants including Target, J.C. Penney, American Eagle Outfitters Inc. and TJX Cos. raising their profit outlook based on their better-than-expected performance. Target said sales at stores open at least a year fell 1.7 percent, less than the 2 percent that analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters had expected. Macy’s had a 2.3 percent decline, less than the 4.6 percent drop that analysts estimated. J.C. Penney had a 1.4 percent decline for September, lower than the 3.5 percent decline Wall Street estimated. TJX enjoyed a 7 percent gain, surpassing the 4.1 percent estimate. Gap Inc., dragged down by sluggish sales at its namesake stores and Banana Republic, posted a 1 percent sales decline, a bit worse than the 0.4 percent dip that analysts had expected. Its lower-price Old Navy division continued to shine, posting a 13 percent gain in sales at stores opened at least a year. Limited Brands reported that sales in stores open at least a year rose 1 percent in September; that was better than the 2.4 percent slide that analysts had predicted.
N.C. LED-maker to add 575 jobs in next 3 years DURHAM, N.C. (AP) — A North Carolina-based maker of energy-efficient lighting elements is expanding and plans to add 575 jobs in the next three years. Cree Inc. said Thursday it expects to add 275 jobs this year as it expands production of light-
emitting diode chips at its Durham plant. The company plans to add another 300 jobs by the end of 2012. Cree has about 3,500 full-time workers, including 1,500 in Durham. The company reported in August that it was adding workers as it increased
production at plants in Durham and China. Cree is flush after a stock offering last month brought in $434 million, and the company has plans for $150 million in capital spending. Shares rose 47 cents Thursday to $37.10 on the Nasdaq market.
Banks cut use of Fed emergency lending programs WASHINGTON (AP) — Banks reduced their borrowing from the Federal Reserve’s emergency lending facility over the past week, and cut back their use of other programs designed to ease the financial crisis. The Fed said Thursday that banks averaged $27.9 billion in daily borrowing over the week ended Wednesday, down slightly from $28 billion in the week ended Sept. 30. That’s also down from $75 billion a year ago, when the financial crisis was raging after the collapse
of Lehman Brothers in September 2008. The central bank has pumped trillions of dollars into the financial system through an array of shortterm lending programs
in an effort to ease the crisis. The reduced borrowing in the past week shows banks are having a slightly easier time getting short-term loans in private markets.

Silverdome in Mich. heads for auction block PONTIAC, Mich. (AP) — The former home of the Detroit Lions will be sold at auction to the highest bidder — regardless of the price. Pontiac Emergency Financial Manager Fred Leeb tells the Detroit Free Press the suburban Detroit city is “excited about the upcoming sale of the
Silverdome.” The city spends about $1.5 million annually to maintain the empty structure, which stands on 127 acres. Tulsa, Okla.-based Williams & Williams is conducting the auction and accepting sealed bids through 4 p.m. on Nov. 12. The top five bidders may
be invited to a live auction on Nov. 16. There is no minimum bid, but a $250,000 deposit is required to tour the facility. Pontiac has tried repeatedly to sell the 80,000seat domed stadium since the Lions left in 2002 to move to Ford Field in Detroit.

The Winston-Salem Journal reported that 50-year-old Winston-Salem Sgt. Mickey Hutchens remained in critical condition early Thursday after the shooting a day earlier. Lt. David Lamb said 28-year-old Officer Daniel Clark was seriously injured but is improving. Hutchens has been on the police force for 27 years and Clark for six years. Police referred questions on the officers’ conditions to the State Bureau of Investigation. An SBI spokeswoman said Thursday she did not know their conditions. A suspect was killed in the shooting, which followed a foot chase from a fast-food restaurant. The SBI identified him as 35-year-old Monte Denard Evans.

Police: Karaoke singer attacked over performance STAMFORD, Conn. (AP) — Police say a woman singing karaoke in a Connecticut sports bar was attacked by six other women who didn’t like her performance. Five of the women were arraigned on assault and other charges on Wednesday in Stamford Superior Court. The other woman appeared in court Monday on the same charges. Police say the Sept. 23 attack on the 25-year-old woman from Port Chester, N.Y., happened during karaoke night at Bobby Valentine’s Sports Gallery Cafe in Stamford. Authorities say the six women, all under the legal drinking age of 21, knocked the singer to the floor, punched her and pulled her hair. The victim suffered bruises and a chipped tooth. The victim has said she was singing “A Dios Le Pido� by Colombian superstar Juanes when the violence began.
Developer pleads not guilty in wife’s Florida death ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — A prominent southeast developer charged with second-degree murder in his wife’s shooting death in Florida has pleaded not guilty. J. Robert Ward entered the plea Thursday during a bond hearing. His attorney is asking that the 61-year-old developer be released on bail since he doesn’t have a prior criminal record. Ward is a self-made millionaire who in recent years had suffered crushing financial troubles. The shooting took place in the couple’s multimillion-dollar home in Isleworth, one
of Orlando’s most prosperous neighborhoods. The home was once owned by pro golfer Arnold Palmer. The neighborhood is home to several sports stars.
Dallas police seek sneaky naked backyard dancer DALLAS (AP) — Dallas police are looking for a man who they say repeatedly sneaks into backyards, dances around naked and then runs away. Police believe the man has been exposing himself in the same neighborhood since 2005. The most recent incident was on Sept. 30. Police say he usually climbs a fence or goes through a gate and either dances naked or jumps in a swimming pool naked. Police say he also has danced naked on top of a backyard air conditioning unit. Police say they’re looking for a pudgy man who is about 6 feet tall and covers his face while dancing. Dallas Police Senior Cpl. Janice Crowther says police want to catch him before it escalates into something worse.

Jackson doctor may face arrest over child support By OSKAR GARCIA Associated Press Writer
LAS VEGAS — The doctor at the center of an investigation into Michael Jackson’s death may face arrest and could lose his medical license after missing a hearing to explain late child support payments, the Las Vegas district attorney said Thursday. Clark County District Attorney David Murray Roger told The Associated Press that a district judge could approve an arrest warrant for Dr. Conrad Murray that’s recommended by a family court hearing master within 10 days. “At that time, we’ll send our investigators out to locate and arrest Dr. Murray,” Roger said. Roger says Murray, who owes $13,000 in unpaid child support to a California woman, can object to
the warrant before a judge approves it. Murray’s lawyer in the Jackson case, Edward Chernoff, is not representing Murray in the family court case, Chernoff spokeswoman Miranda Sevcik said Thursday. “Ed’s dealing with one thing and one thing only, and that’s the investigation into Michael Jackson’s death,” Sevcik said. Sevcik said she did not know whether the 56-yearold doctor had another attorney for the child support case. Roger said he also plans to ask the state medical board to suspend Murray’s medical license because of the unpaid support. Roger said his office would soon file a motion in family court and send a letter to the board saying Murray is behind on his payments. Murray would have 30 days after that to make good on past payments, or risk suspension of his professional license, Roger said.
Nevada laws allow prosecutors to go after professional licenses belonging to those behind on child support. “We’re not singling out Dr. Murray, this is an option that we frequently use in order to make sure that people pay their obligations,” Roger said. Court records show that Murray had serious financial problems when he signed on in May at $150,000 per month to keep Jackson healthy through a series of comeback shows planned in London. The cardiologist owed at least $780,000 for settlements against his business, outstanding mortgage payments on his house, delinquent student loans, child support and credit cards. Prosecutors in Los Angeles are weighing charges against Murray in the pop singer’s death. Murray told police he administered a powerful anesthetic to the singer shortly before Jackson died June 25.
Son of slain 100-year old: Mom was active By RODRIQUE NGOWI Associated Press Writer
BOSTON — The son of a 100-year-old woman, who was found strangled in her nursing home bed with a plastic bag over her head, says his mother was still active and loved shopping. In routine check of patients at Brandon Woods Nursing home on Sept. 24, workers found Elizabeth Barrow dead in her bed, Bristol District Attorney Sam Sutter said Wednesday. Initially, police speculated it was a suicide. But autopsy results showed Barrow was strangled, Sutter said, and the medical examiner ruled her death a homicide. The district attorney’s office declined to release other details. A law enforcement official familiar with the investigation told The Associated Press that Barrow was found with a plastic bag over her head in a room she shared with a woman in her late 90s. There were no obvious signs of a struggle. The official spoke on the condi-
tion of anonymity because the person was not authorized to comment on an ongoing investigation. Investigators were unaware of any conflicts Barrow may have had with others, the official said. Barrow’s only child, Scott Barrow, told The Standard-Times of New Bedford the family celebrated her 100th birthday on Aug. 21. The family, including her three grandchildren, took her out for lunch and went shopping for winter clothes the day before she died and she was in good health and spirits, he said. Barrow said his mother was born in New Bedford and grew up in the area. In the 1920s, she was crowned “Miss Rayon” and traveled around the region promoting a local textile company, New Bedford Rayon. She worked for Bishop Stang High School and the Dartmouth public schools for several years as a cafeteria worker, he said. Elizabeth Barrow and her husband, A. Raymond, both moved to Brandon Woods about 4 1/2 years

News Briefs Missouri farmer, cow killed by lightning strike ST. LOUIS (AP) — A Missouri farmer has died after being struck by lightning while checking on his cattle. Laclede County Emergency Management Director Jonathan Ayres says the farmer was hit by lightning about 9:30 a.m. Thursday but the man’s family didn’t realize there was a problem until he failed to come back inside about an hour and a half later. The lightning strike happened in the Phillipsburg area about 175 miles southwest of St. Louis. Strong storms are dumping inches of rain on Missouri, Kansas and Illinois, and flash flood warnings have been issued in parts of all three states. Ayres says the farmer’s name and age aren’t being released yet. A cow also was killed in the lightning strike.

Fla. appeals court chastises judge over compassion MIAMI (AP) — A Florida appeals court has chastised a judge for granting extensions in a foreclosure case for compassionate reasons. The Third District Court of Appeal ruled last week that Circuit Judge Valerie Manno Schurr could not grant extensions solely on grounds of benevolence or compassion. Schurr had given a Miami couple an extra month to sell their house. The judge said in court she understands times are bad and that she hates to see anyone lose a home. The appeals judges ruled that the law doesn’t allow compassion or benevolence alone to be used as the basis for such a decision. The court said the continuance was an abuse of judicial discretion and the one-month delay should not have been granted. The house was sold at auction last week for $1.3 million.

Feds: bears in more danger on threatened list BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — Federal officials say a court ruling that returned Yellowstone grizzly bears to the threatened species list has unexpectedly put the animals at increased risk. In September, U.S. District Judge Donald Molloy ruled that about 600 grizzlies in and around Yellowstone National Park remain in danger of extinction due to climate change, shootings and other factors. The ruling reversed a 2007 decision to remove grizzlies from the threatened list in parts of Idaho, Montana and Wyoming. But in court documents filed Monday, government attorneys said Molloy inadvertently put bears at greater risk. They said the ruling voided restrictions against new road construction, livestock grazing and development that were enacted after the 2007 decision.

Daily Meditation Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment. Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity. Ecclesiastes 11:9-10
Our Opinion
Pricey Dell deal left poor return It’s been said that it is better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all. We suppose that depends on the nature of the breakup. Only four years after opening a computer manufacturing facility in Winston-Salem, Dell Inc. revealed on Wednesday that it would close up shop, laying off all 905 workers at the factory. The company deems the decision necessary to “simplify operations and improve efficiency,” according to media reports. “This is a difficult decision, especially for our North Carolina colleagues,” said Dell Vice President Frank Miller in a company statement. “… Of course, we’ll continue to honor all agreements with North Carolina, Forsyth County and Winston-Salem.” About those agreements … The Forsyth County Dell plant was one of North Carolina’s most noteworthy economic development accomplishments of this young 21st century. And, as is the way of modern industrial recruitment, it took a lot of coaxing — plus even more cash — to land Dell. North Carolina lawmakers in 2004 authorized $242 million in tax breaks and other incentives. Forsyth County and the city of Winston-Salem combined to scrape up another $37 million in incentives. In return, Dell promised to invest at least $100 million in its plant and create 1,500 or more jobs within 15 years. The North Carolina Institute for Constitutional Law, spearheaded by former state Supreme Court Justice Bob Orr, challenged the incentives package, but lost the case in court. Whether or not this or similar deals are legal, losing such a big development catch in so short a time — even in this dire an economy — should lead us to question whether government, and that means “the people” who pay taxes while these industries are not, are being wise or being suckers in offering such plump incentive packages to potential employers. Few if any taxes are collected from such industrial recruits during the negotiated period of incentives. So the jobs created are the community’s only benefit (albeit an important one), and in Dell’s case those jobs will have entirely disappeared within a few short years of their creation. By making it so lucrative and easy to come here, are we also making it too easy and affordable to walk away? Leaving nothing, we would add, but empty buildings, shattered hopes and broken promises.

Beware the berry weasel Editor’s note: Some names and circumstances in this “inspired by real events” story of rural life have been changed to entertain and to protect … well … ever’body. The only thing hotter than that May afternoon itself was my temper … and the object of such anger was none other than Old Man Weasel, as the locals out in God’s Country knew him. I remember asking Grandaddy one day just how Ol’ Weasel got his nickname, but after this particular afternoon, I didn’t need Grandaddy’s wisdom to figure that one out. Old Man Weasel was loyal to only one creature on this grand earth, and that was his wiener dog, Teensy Weensy. Teensy was just as her name described — a fiery, footlong character, whose daily ritual was to cling to her master, tongue licking away at the salty arm between her pants from the heat. Old Man Weasel had a way
of methodically maneuvering about his surroundings, placing one unsteady foot in front of the other, pausing momentarily between steps to catch his own breath. The cross grimace of his face normally softened at the glance of Teensy. Yet the sun’s fury Gina bore down Eaves even on Old Daily Dispatch Man WeaColumnist sel’s love of Teensy that afternoon, as he stopped toting her and carefully set her down on the ground. Ol’ Weasel clumsily forced his way into an awkward squat, a bucket mashed between his legs. He was here for the same reason as me … to pick berries. I happened to be seated two rows ahead of Ol’ Weasel that
afternoon, searching for any remaining berries left after weeks of picking, filling my buckets up as quickly as possible. The more buckets filled, the more spending money earned. Still a child, the motto of respecting my elders was heavily instilled in my mind. “Hey Girl,” Weasel muttered, forcing the words out through heavy breathing. I watched as he wiped the beads of sweat that were trickling down the sides of his forehead. He grabbed at a handkerchief to wipe the dew away, stuffing it in his front pocket when done. “If you’re lookin’ for more berries, there’s a heap of ’em right over there,” he finished, as he pointed towards several rows off to his side. Naively, I jumped up from my spot that sunny afternoon and excitedly planted myself among the new row, with the promise of more berries for my bucket. Yet … there were none. Well, there were “some,” but very few. … And the ones I saw were not the best. In
fact, the berries I did find were mostly rotten at the end of a long season. I glanced over at Old Man Weasel to tell him so, yet he wasn’t in his old spot anymore. Neither was Teensy. Instead, I could see Teensy bobbing around, puttering about her master, in the very spot I had sat just moments earlier. His bucket full, Weasel peered over in my direction — with such a sneaky grin. And so, it was that afternoon that I learned a very valuable lesson: Beware of weasels, the two-legged ones more than any other kind. You can’t always so easily identify ’em by name. But if you aren’t careful, you end up watching ’em steal your berries, leaving you with an empty bucket.

Letters to the Editor Moral obligations To the editor: “Moral Obligation.” What does it really mean? Webster’s defines “moral” or morality as a set of principals of right conduct. “Obligation” is defined as a duty imposed legally or socially, something binding either by contract or promise. Recently the question has been raised by this administration: What is our moral obligation to the government? As a citizen, I am obligated to obey the civil laws established to maintain law and order in the society. When you add the word “moral” you have introduced a new element into the equation. Where does morality originate? Does moral behavior spring out of mankind’s good intentions? Or do we seek out a higher source for the answer? It is not difficult to answer these questions when the higher source is God. In the beginning God created mankind in His own unique image. That means we are routine to say that the presidifferent from the animal dent hasn’t gotten it done. Not kingdom. so, says CNN, which I guess If we accept man’s creation means George W.

A new era in infotainment “After reviewing hundreds of hours of ‘Shark Week’ footage and consulting with leading ichthyologists, CBS News can now confirm that the so-called ‘Land Shark’ made famous on ‘Saturday Night Live’ is a hoax,” Katie Couric assured viewers. Meanwhile, over on MSNBC, the crack news team continued its in-depth exposé on “SNL’s” faked assassination of the Little Rascals’ Buckwheat. Sleuths working for The New York Times revealed that not only was John Belushi not an Olympic decathlete, but his touted regimen of cigarettes and “little chocolate donuts” was, according to experts in sports medicine, “not even remotely nutritious.” Meanwhile, a report by “60 Minutes” correspondent Steve Kroft that the physics of “SpongeBob SquarePants” “make no sense at all” has left elementary schools and day-care centers dealing with a huge spike in “acting out” by devastated viewers. These are just highlights from the fact-checking frenzy overtaking the news media in the wake of CNN’s report on Oct. 5 that a parody mocking President Barack Obama wasn’t entirely accurate. OK, OK. I’m just having fun at CNN’s expense, as were a lot of people this week, because the network really did take it upon itself to defend Obama from “allegations” leveled in a “Saturday Night Live” skit. The show opened with a fake (duh) address from Obama, played by Fred Armisen. “When you look at my record, it’s very clear what I have done so far. And that is nothing,” he said. “Almost one year and nothing to show for it. You don’t believe me? You think I’m making it up? Take a look at this checklist.” The pretend Obama then goes through a more-than-accu-

Tribune Media “Even though Services ‘SNL’ deals in comedy, what they said about the president rings true for a lot of you, apparently.

All right, Kareen, what are you finding out?” From there, Wynter “reported” her findings (with the help of a “study” from the St. Petersburg Times’ PolitiFact unit) as if the ‘SNL’ skit was an RNC attack ad. “Hi there, Wolf,” perked Wynter. “Well, some observers say, sure, we are just talking comedy here, but that, on many points, well, ‘SNL’ couldn’t have been more off the mark.” Almost as annoying as the report’s premise is how tendentious it was. Quoting PolitiFact’s Bill Adair, Wynter explained, “As for health care, Adair says ‘SNL’ also got it wrong, since that legislation is still stalled in Congress.” Huh? When presidents promise to get something done but then can’t get it through Congress (never mind a Congress run by the same party), it’s

Mattel introduces black Barbies, to mixed reviews By MEGAN K. SCOTT Associated Press Writer
NEW YORK — Mattel has launched a new line of black Barbie dolls with fuller lips, a wider nose and more pronounced cheek bones — a far cry from Christie, Barbie’s black friend who debuted in the 1960s and was essentially a white doll painted brown. The “So In Style” line, which hit mass retailers last month, features BFFs Grace, Kara and Trichelle, each with her own style and interests and a little sister she mentors: Courtney, Janessa and Kianna. The dolls reflect varying skin tones — light brown, chocolate, and caramel — and Trichelle and Kianna have curlier hair. Barbie designer Stacey McBride-Irby, who is black and has a 6-year-old daughter, said she wanted to create a line of dolls for young black girls that looked like them and were inspirational and careerminded. For example, Kara is interested in math and music. “I want them to see themselves within these dolls, and let them know that black is beautiful,” she said. Many black women are praising Mattel for its efforts — Black Barbie hit the shelves in 1980 with white features shared by many of the dolls following her. But some say the dolls with long straight hair are not “black enough” and do not address the beauty issues that many black girls struggle with. In the black community, long, straight hair is often considered more beautiful than short kinky hair. Chris Rock highlights the issue in his “Good Hair” documentary, which opens in select cities on Friday and shows black women straightening their tight curls with harsh chemicals and purchasing thousand-dollar hair weaves. “Why are we always pushing this standard of long hair on our girls?” asked Gail Parrish, 60, a playwright in Alexandria, Va., and a mother of four
grown children. “Why couldn’t one of the dolls have a little short afro, or shorter braids or something?” McBride-Irby said she originally designed all the dolls with long hair. Combing her Barbie’s long hair when she was a girl was the “highlight of my play experience,” she said. She was advised to create some dolls with curlier hair, so she did. There is a So In Style hairstyling set so girls can curl, straighten and style their dolls’ hair over and over. (It costs $24.99, more than a pair of dolls at $19.99.) That is troubling to Sheri Parks, an associate professor of American Studies at the University of Maryland in College Park, because it actively involves girls in the process of straightening hair. She worries that it reinforces the message that there is something wrong with natural hair. “Black mothers who want their girls to love their natural hair have an uphill battle and these dolls could make it harder,” Parks said in an e-mail. Aside from the hair, some black women are concerned about the dolls’ thin frames. Barbie,
which celebrated her 50th birthday in March, has for years come under fire for promoting an unrealistic body image, with her long legs, tiny waist and large breasts. While white girls also deal with body-image issues, Kumea ShorterGooden, co-author of “Shifting: The Double Lives of Black Women in America,” believes Barbie has a more negative impact on black girls. They are already struggling with messages that “black skin isn’t pretty and our hair is too kinky and short,” she said. Despite those complaints, Mattel seems to have gotten several things right. Andrea Slaughter, 38, a mom of two in Newnan, Ga., said she likes how the designer highlighted values that are critical in the black community, such as education and mentoring. Sheila Adams Gardner, 41, a mother of three in Woodbridge, Va., praised the varying skin tones. She said when her daughter was 4, she became very self-conscious about being lighter than everyone else in her family. “She has always had African-American dolls, but rarely dolls with skin like her own,” she said.

This photo released by Mattel shows “Barbie So In Style” designer Stacey McBride-Irby. “Often the lighter dolls were Hispanic or Indian. It was very heartwarming to look at a series of African-American Barbies and hear my daughter, now ll, exclaim, ‘She looks like me!’”
Even Shorter-Gooden acknowledged the facial features “look like real black people.” Mattel doesn’t release sales figures. But Michelle Chidoni of Mattel said the dolls are resonating with
girls of all colors and ages. The line will be expanding next year with Rocawear clothing, new dolls Chandra and her little sister Zahara, and Darren, who will have a little brother he mentors.

Navy secretary: Time for women on submarines By BECKY BOHRER Associated Press Writer
Your connection just got stronger.™
PASCAGOULA, Miss. — Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus says allowing women to serve on submarines is an idea whose time has come. He says he sees no major hurdles from the Obama administration implementing the policy change. Mabus gave no timeline for when the change would take effect. He says officials first must figure out how to do it and notify Congress about the plan. Then women must complete training to serve. Mabus says women should be able to serve throughout the Navy and the proposed change would be in keeping with that. His comments came Thursday during a visit to Northrop Grumman Corp.’s shipbuilding yard in Pascagoula.

INSIDE WASHINGTON
GOP is raising campaign money from doctors By ALAN FRAM and RITA BEAMISH Associated Press Writers
EDITOR’S NOTE — An occasional look at how Washington works behind the scenes. The Republican Party is harnessing the furious debate over health care to raise campaign cash from doctors, dangling the promise of including donors’ names in advertising that attacks President Barack Obama’s overhaul plan. The GOP’s House campaign arm says it has raised $1.3 million since June by targeting thousands of physicians across the country with phone calls and faxes, inviting them to join the fight “against any proposal that creates a governmentrun health care system in America.� Some 5,000 doctors have donated, said GOP spokes-
man Paul Lindsay, and another 10,000 have lent their names as supporters without donating. Some of the appeals also have gone astray. Paul Kramer, an occupational and family medicine doctor in Henderson, Ky., initially liked the idea when he was called about joining the Physicians’ Council for Responsible Reform, but then perceived it as “a bald fundraising effort.� “When I told the woman I wouldn’t be interested in making any financial contribution, the call was quickly ended. I want reform and wanted to tell them that not all physicians were interested in seeing this effort tank,� Kramer said. “I never got the chance.� The campaign is not only an example of opportunistic fundraising, but also of how both parties are vying to show backing from the nation’s doctors, who
polls indicate rank among the country’s most trusted professionals. Obama had scores of doctors flanking him at the White House Monday as he spoke on the issue, members of a physicians group that supported his presidential campaign. Republicans responded with a conference call for reporters with former American Medical Association president Donald Palmisano, who no longer speaks for that organization, and Rep. Tom Price, R-Ga., one of several GOP members of Congress who are doctors. A brochure sent to the potential GOP contributors spells out how donors can benefit. A check for at least $5,000 earns a donor face time with “key decisionmakers� in Washington, and “media training� so they can enlist colleagues to join the effort, according to the document. Lesser
contributors are promised such privileges as “special closed door briefings� or recognition on a Web site. Price is chairman of the physicians’ council that is raising money for GOP candidates. Documents provided to The Associated Press and interviews with participants in the campaign shed light on how it operates. Doctors around the country said in recent weeks they have received an unsolicited fax from Price or telephone calls from the GOP asking them to join the physicians’ council. The GOP’s Lindsay said that during one threeday period alone — Sept. 21-23 — more than 5,000 doctors were contacted. They were sent a proposed print advertisement headlined, “The RIGHT Kind of Health Care Is Not Run By Our Government.� The proposed ad, in the form of a petition opposing
federally run health care, showed a list of about 40 doctors’ names. Among that list of names was either the name of the doctor receiving the ad or the phrase, “Your Name Here.� Lindsay said the names on some ads doctors received were made up, generated randomly by computers, while others bore the names of doctors who had previously joined the physicians’ council. The effort appeared aimed at legitimizing the Republican stance in the health care fight by implying to the doctors being solicited that other physicians were already on board. The fax seeking names for the advertisements notes its sponsorship by the National Republican Congressional Committee. Dr. Michael Harbut, an occupational and environmental specialist and researcher in Royal Oak,
Mich., declined to participate but worried other doctors might see his name on materials sent to enlist them as well. He sent a mass e-mail to ensure no one thought he and Price were “singing out of the same hymnal.� No doctors’ names are used either in solicitations or ads unless they consent, Lindsay said. He said ads will run in Capitol Hill publications when it’s determined they’ll have the most impact. One doctor who signed on was Barton Butterbaugh of Scottsdale, Ariz., a GOP contributor since 2004. He wanted his name among doctors who are “proactive with respect to knowing what Americans need and want because each of us is out treating Americans.� Beamish reported from San Mateo, Calif., Fram from Washington.

Viking volleyballers fall to Crusaders From STAFF REPORTS
Cardinal Gibbons, who had been shorthanded lately with some illnesses, were back at full-strength on Thursday. The Crusaders hosted Northern Vance, and the result was much the same as before. Cardinal Gibbons swept the Vikings in three sets (9-25, 5-25, 13-25). Northern, now 0-8 in conference play, will host J.F. Webb on senior night Tuesday before traveling to Southern Vance for the last regular season match on Thursday. The Vikings’ junior varsity squad was defeated by the Crusaders in two (25-12, 2521). The JV plays next against Webb at home on Tuesday.
Spartan soccer blanks Trinity, 3-0 From STAFF REPORTS
Kerr-Vance’s varsity soccer team was helped out by two own goals in a 3-0 win over Trinity of Raleigh Thursday. The first own goal occurred after a throw-in from Chris Frampton. Tyler Bolton got the assist on the second, when his shot deflected off a Trinity player and into the net. George Hoyle scored the third goal on a Colton Tabbert assist. The Spartans out-shot Trinity 28-6 on the night. Kerr-Vance (9-9-4) hosts EPIC foe St. David’s on Tuesday.

Raiders down Panthers in four
Southern Vance entered Thursday’s match against Orange with redemption on its mind. Shauna Terry landed a booming kill in the fourth set to assure victory over the Panthers, avenging an Orange sweep in the teams’ first meeting in Hillsborough. Southern coach Tracey Turner was without three of her players last time out — but this time, the Raiders were nearly back to full strength in the thrilling 3-1 (25-21, 28-26, 19-25, 25-21) win. Turner’s red-hot Raiders (14-8, 4-3) have won five of their last six. Southern doesn’t boast the same attack as some of its Carolina 3A Conference counterparts, but the wins are beginning to pile up just the same. “We don’t have the multithreat, multi-attack that Orange, Chapel Hill or Cardinal Gibbons has, but we can cover floor,” said Turner. “When we get around to what we do well, I think we’re a great volleyball team.” The Raiders won the last four points of the final set behind the service of Julia Sumner. Terry scored three of the final four, with help from a Sumner ace. “Huge kill. She was quick to the net and she caught them off guard.” Turner said of Terry’s emphatic spike to end the match. In a back-and-forth final frame, Turner called a time out to rally her troops after an Orange ace squared the game at 12. “They needed to be stirred a little bit,” said Turner. “And I think they began to stir each

Raiders get big win over Warriors Salazar gets hat trick in 4-1 win over J.F. Webb By ERIC S. ROBINSON Dispatch Sports Editor
Southern Vance’s soccer team seemed to feel no residual effects from Wednesday’s wreck on I-85. A day after the team bus was rear-ended on the way to a match with Chapel Hill, the Raiders had another collision with conference rival J.F. Webb. Southern controlled the tempo for most of the match and defeated the Warriors 4-1 to get an allimportant Carolina 3A Conference victory. After Webb got on the board first 13 minutes in, Southern scored twice to take the lead before the half. Humberto Salazar scored three goals on the night for the Raiders. The Raiders have had a hard time finishing drives in recent matches. They didn’t have that problem Thursday. “It’s something we haven’t been getting done. Certainly, to be able to score four goals tonight, that’s a luxury for us,” said Raiders coach Mike Rotolo. Allie Urbanski’s Warriors fall to 7-8 (1-3) in her first season as coach. On Wednesday, Webb snapped a seven-game losing streak with a 3-0 conference win over Northern Vance.

Dodgers rally past Cards, lead series 2-0 By BETH HARRIS AP Sports Writer
LOS ANGELES — All that Matt Holliday needed to do was make the catch, and the Cardinals would have tied the series. Instead, his error gave Los Angeles a second chance, and St. Louis wound up on the brink of elimination. Holliday dropped a sinking line drive with two outs in the ninth inning, leading to a tworun rally by the Dodgers that gave them a 3-2 victory Thursday. Ronnie Belliard and pinch-hitter Mark Loretta came through with RBI singles off closer Ryan Franklin, giving the Dodgers a 2-0 lead in the best-of-five NL playoff series. Game 3 is Saturday in St. Louis. The Cardinals got a secondinning homer from Holliday and a stellar performance from

The Vance-Granville Community College men’s basketball program is only entering its second year playing in the National Junior College Athletic Association, but it has already catapulted a player from the junior-college level to facing some of the nation’ top teams in NCAA Division I. Bryan Burrell of Raleigh was a standout at VGCC in 2008-2009, and this season, and is now on the team at Gardner-Webb University, located in Boiling Springs. The 6-foot-1 junior is listed as a guard on the GWU roster. The Runnin’ Bulldogs are scheduled to play a challenging schedule that includes national powerhouses like UNC (Nov. 23), Duke (Dec. 15) and Texas (Dec. 29). GWU is a Burrell member of the Big South Conference, which includes High Point University and UNC-Asheville as well as other four-year schools in Virginia and South Carolina. Last season, Burrell led the VGCC Vanguards, and the conference, in assists, and was third in NJCAA Division II nationwide in the statistic. He led the team in free throws made, and was third in scoring for the Vanguards, with 394 points on the season and 15.8 points per game. A transfer student at VGCC, Burrell also performed well in the classroom and was awarded an academic achievement scholarship. He graduated from VGCC in May with an Associate in Arts degree. Burrell, who is majoring in Sports Management at GWU, said that VGCCprepared him both athletically and academically. “The teachers at VanceGranville helped me tremendously and made the transition to the university level smooth,” Burrell said. “Vance-Granville also put me in a position to play Division I basketball, and Coach Avery Wilson helped me a lot with transferring to Gardner-Webb.” He added that Boiling Springs is a small, friendly town, “not too different from Henderson.” Burrell is not the only VGCC player taking his game to another level this year. Mitchell Jeffries of Raleigh transferred to Methodist University in Fayetteville, while Dane Williams of Fayetteville is on the team at Lycoming College in Pennsylvania. Both schools compete in NCAA Division III. Former Vanguards Burrell and Jeffries could share the same court when Methodist plays Gardner-Webb on Nov. 21.

Two-minute drill NFL Stafford misses second straight practice ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) — Matthew Stafford and the Detroit Lions are being coy about the quarterback’s injured right knee and his status. Is the kneecap dislocated? “Really not sure,” Stafford said Thursday after missing a second straight practice. Will you play Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers? “I don’t know,” he said. “We’ll see.” Detroit coach Jim Schwartz refused to be remotely forthcoming when asked for an update on his rookie quarterback. “The injury report will be out at 4 o’clock,” Schwartz said during a terse interview session that lasted about 20 seconds. Detroit’s injury report listed Stafford as one of its players who did not practice Thursday because of a knee injury. Stafford had his right knee twisted on a sack in Sunday’s loss at Chicago. “Obviously any time you tweak something, it’s scary,” he said. Stafford, the No. 1 pick in the NFL draft, said he did get good news from tests because there was no structural damage and surgery wasn’t deemed necessary.
NFL ratings highest in 20 years NEW YORK (AP) — NFL ratings are at their highest in 20 years. Through the first four weeks of the season, games are drawing their best average viewership since 1989 at 17.4 million, up 14 percent from the same point in 2008. The average was 18.1 million in 1989 through four weeks. Sunday doubleheader games starting at 4:15 EDT this year on CBS and Fox have averaged 22.3 million viewers, which ranks as television’s most-watched show on a weekly basis. Monday night’s Packers-Vikings matchup on ESPN was the most-watched show in cable TV history with 21.8 million viewers.
College Football Oklahoma St. WR Bryant played during investigation OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — All-America receiver Dez Bryant played in Oklahoma State’s first three games of the season while compliance officials were investigating an apparent meeting with former NFL players Deion Sanders and Omar Stoutmire that he later lied about to the NCAA. Documents released by the university Thursday in response to an open records request from The Associated Press show OSU suggested to the NCAA that it should interview Sanders and Stoutmire because they were “purported to work out” with Bryant. The documents also show questions were raised about Bryant’s account of events — before the start of the season. That calls into question whether his participation in the first three games could cause Oklahoma State to forfeit, if the NCAA rules he should have been ineligible from the start. In an Aug. 26 e-mail, associate athletic director for compliance Scott Williams mentions that Oklahoma State’s season opener was approaching — at that point 10 days away — and the school would need to make “a determination on Dez’s playing status.” Five days later, still before a season-opening win against Georgia, Marcus M. Wilson, the NCAA’s assistant director of agent, gambling and amateurism activities, asks Williams about Bryant: “Why does his story keep changing?” Oklahoma State ruled Bryant ineligible Wednesday because he “failed to openly disclose to the NCAA the full details of his interaction with a former NFL player not affiliated with OSU.”

KVA volleyball falls to Halifax in five From STAFF REPORTS
Kerr-Vance’s varsity volleyball team was in another marathon match Thursday, but ended up on the losing end of a five-setter to Halifax Academy (19-25, 18-25, 25-23, 25-21, 6-15). KVA coach Paul Ross said exhaustion may have set in with his team. “They fought so hard in (sets) two, three and four. Halifax just went on a run in five.” As a team, KVA had just 29 kills against a good passing team. Laura Kilian tallied 10
kills, three aces, 23 digs, and was 22-of-27 in serve receive. Megan Burrows had a good night at the net, totaling eight kills and 11 blocks. Setter Bailey Hughes had 24 assists, six aces and 21 digs. Jesse Edwards had five kills and four blocks. Morgan Lloyd registered 16 digs, two aces, and was 28-of-34 receiving serve.

Vanguard volleyball sits at 2-7 on season By ANDREW BEAL Special to the Dispatch
More than half-way through its first season, the new Vance-Granville Community College women’s volleyball team has a 2-7 record. The second victory for the Vanguards, coached by Ellis Crews of Oxford, came when the Central Carolina Community College
Cougars visited Henderson on Thursday, Oct. 1. VGCC won the match 3-0, with scores of 25-19, 25-14 and 25-22. That match capped a grueling series of three home matches in as many days. On Sept. 29, VGCC lost to Brunswick Community College in three sets, and on Sept. 30 to Lenoir Community College in three.
Other recent matches included a close match on Sept. 23 with the Louisburg College club team, which ended with a 3-2 Louisburg victory, and a 3-0 VGCC loss to Surry Community College on Sept. 26. Because of Louisburg’s status as a club team, the loss does not count toward VGCC’s official NJCAA Region X record. Upcoming home matches
at Aycock Recreation Complex in Henderson are scheduled for Friday, Oct. 9 at 6 p.m. versus Guilford Technical Community College, Wednesday, Oct. 14 at 5 p.m. versus Johnston Community College and the final match of the season on Friday, Oct. 23 at 5 p.m. versus Louisburg College. All home matches at the Aycock Center are free and open to the public.
ninth and retired Andre Ethier on a popup before turning it over to Franklin. Los Angeles’ Clayton Kershaw, a 21-year-old left-hander starting for the first time in the postseason, allowed nine hits and two runs in 6 2-3 innings. He struck out four and walked two in a game dominated by starting pitching, the opposite of the Dodgers’ 5-3 win in Wednesday night’s opener. Trailing 2-1, the Dodgers loaded the bases in the eighth, igniting raucous cheers from 51,819 white towel-waving fans. Martin singled, then Wainwright hit pinch-hitter Jim Thome with a pitch before walking Rafael Furcal. Wainwright’s first pitch just missed hitting Matt Kemp, whose tworun homer gave the Dodgers the lead for good in the opener. But Wainwright escaped trouble, retiring him
on a broken-bat grounder to first that ended the threat. Sluggers Albert Pujols and Manny Ramirez were non-factors for the second consecutive game. Pujols went 1 for 3 with an intentional walk for the Cardinals; Ramirez finished 0 for 4 with a strikeout. The Cardinals snapped a 1-all tie on Colby Rasmus’ RBI double that hit the center-field wall on the fly as Kemp scrambled after it. Mark DeRosa, who led off with a single, scored and Rasmus was out trying to advance to third on the throw home. Ethier tied it 1-all with a homer in the fourth, sending a 1-0 pitch into the left-field pavilion — the Dodgers’ first hit off Wainwright, who retired his first 11 batters. After that, Wainwright retired another six in a row until allowing Furcal’s twoout single in the sixth.
NLDS, from page 1B Carpenter and Wainwright. “Right now we’re feeling disappointed, upset,” manager Tony La Russa said. “Right now, I think it’s important to get upset. To turn the page too quickly, it means you don’t care.” With the bases empty in the ninth and St. Louis on the verge on tying the series, Holliday charged in on James Loney’s liner to left field. But the ball hit his midsection and dropped to the grass, allowing Loney to reach second. Franklin walked Casey Blake before Belliard singled up the middle, scoring pinch-runner Juan Pierre. A passed ball moved runners up to second and third, and Franklin walked Russell Martin on four pitches to load the bases. Loretta, batting for reliever George Sherrill, was 0 for 15 in his career against Franklin before fisting a soft single to center that drove in Blake. That triggered a huge celebration, with teammates jumping on Loretta in a pile between first and second base. “Unfortunately, I did know the numbers,” Loretta said. “This series is far from over. St. Louis is a very talented team. We’re going to have to keep battling as hard as we can.” The late rally was nothing new for the Dodgers. They won 23 regular-season
games in their final atbat, most in the National League, according to STATS LLC. “I think it’s just the confidence we have in the last inning,” Loretta said. Holliday was a huge reason the Cardinals won the NL Central. Acquired from Oakland in a trade in late July, the slugger’s hitting tear helped St. Louis cruise to the division title. His fielding gaffe on Thursday, however, cost the Cardinals dearly. Sherrill got the win for the Dodgers, in position for a sweep in the opening round for the second consecutive year. Last year, they won the first two games at Wrigley Field before closing out the Chicago Cubs at home in Game 3. Franklin took the loss, spoiling an outstanding effort by Wainwright. The NL leader with 19 victories, Wainwright allowed three hits, struck out seven and walked one. That followed a subpar outing by Carpenter, who lasted only five innings and took the loss in Game 1. Wainwright was 1-0 with four saves when the Cardinals won the 2006 World Series in their last playoff appearance, making him the first pitcher since Bob Welch to save a World Series game and then start a postseason game.

Rockies beat shaky Hamels, tie series By ROB MAADDI AP Sports Writer
PHILADELPHIA — By the time Cole Hamels rushed off to be with his pregnant wife, his streak of postseason dominance was long over. Yorvit Torrealba hit a two-run homer, Aaron Cook pitched effectively into the sixth inning and the Colorado Rockies beat Hamels and the Philadelphia Phillies 5-4 Thursday to even their NL playoff series at a game apiece. Huston Street pitched out of trouble in the ninth to secure the win for Colorado. He retired Shane Victorino on a soft liner to second to leave the potential tying run — Game 1 winner Cliff Lee — at second base. “It was definitely a huge game for us,” Cook said. “It’s huge to go back home with the series tied.” Hamels, the World Series and NLCS MVP last year, looked nothing like the guy who was brilliant during Philadelphia’s championship run last October. The left-hander allowed four runs and seven hits in five innings. He didn’t stick around after being pulled for a pinch hitter, heading to the hospital to join his wife, Heidi, who was in labor with the couple’s first child. Was Hamels distracted on the mound? “It could’ve bothered him, yes,” Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said. “He was concerned about his wife and his child. It’s an exciting time, something you look forward to. It was probably on his mind.” The best-of-five series shifts to Denver for Game 3 on Saturday. Jason Hammel (10-8) will start for the wild-card Rockies against a yet-to-be-announced pitcher.

Colorado’s Clint Barmes flips over Philadelphia’s Pedro Feliz after forcing him out at second base while turning a double play to end the sixth inning of Thursday’s game. Manuel said he’ll use Joe Blanton or Pedro Martinez. J.A. Happ was a candidate before getting injured. Blanton pitched one inning in relief, allowing a run. Happ got knocked out of the game when Seth Smith hit a hard liner off the lower part of his left leg. X-rays were negative. “He was trying to stay out there, but he wasn’t able to pitch,” Manuel said. “I think he’ll be fine.” Making his third start since a shoulder strain sidelined him for most of September, Cook allowed three runs and seven hits in five-plus innings. The righthanded sinkerballer got 12 of his 15 outs on grounders or strikeouts. “His sinker was downhill and he was really working both sides of the plate,” Torrealba said. After Lee turned in a masterful performance in his playoff debut Wednesday, the Phillies were counting on Hamels to give them a commanding 2-0 series lead. But Hamels hasn’t been the same pitcher since going 4-0 with a 1.80 ERA in five postseason starts last year. He was 10-11 with a 4.32 ERA this year, and now is 0-7 in day games.
“His stuff was good,” Manuel said. “He threw some close pitches. He was around the plate. His command could’ve been better.” The Phillies are trying to become the first repeat champions since the New York Yankees won three World Series in a row from 1998-2000. No NL team has done it since the Cincinnati Reds in 1975-76. For the second straight day, the Phillies had the largest crowd in the six-year history of Citizens Bank Park. There were 46,528 fans packed in the ballpark, waving their white-and-red “Fightin’ Phils” towels. Now, there’s no guarantee they’ll see another game this year. Jayson Werth’s solo homer off Rafael Betancourt in the eighth got the Phillies within a run and whipped the fans into a frenzy. But Franklin Morales came in and retired Raul Ibanez on a sharp grounder. Street, who was 35 for 37 in save chances in the regular season, started the ninth. He walked pinch-hitter Matt Stairs with one out. Lee, who became the first Phillies pitcher to steal a base in the postseason in Game 1, ran for the slowfooted Stairs. After Miguel
Cairo flied to right, Jimmy Rollins singled to right. But Street got Victorino to end it. “It’s huge,” Torrealba said. “Going back to Denver, that was our goal, if we can win at least one game here — and we did.” Trailing 4-0, the Phillies finally got going in the sixth. Victorino led off with an infield single and advanced to second on second baseman Clint Barmes’ throwing error. Chase Utley followed with a single and Ryan Howard lined an RBI double into the right-field corner, chasing Cook. Jose Contreras came in and struck out Werth. But Ibanez followed with a tworun single to cut it to 4-3. After Happ was forced out in the seventh, Scott Eyre came in with the bases loaded and nobody out. He struck out Carlos Gonzalez before Dexter Fowler’s sacrifice fly made it 5-3. Eyre retired Todd Helton to end the inning. The Rockies took a 3-0 lead in the fourth when Torrealba connected off Hamels. Torrealba had just two homers in 213 regularseason at-bats, but he ripped a hanging curve into the seats in left. Rockies manager Jim Tracy flip-flopped his top two hitters and it paid off right away. Gonzalez led off with a single. He stole second on an attempted pickoff, easily beating first baseman Howard’s doubleclutch throw. Gonzalez advanced to third on Fowler’s sacrifice and scored on Helton’s 20foot dribbler down the firstbase line, giving the Rockies their first lead of the series. Gonzalez singled his next time up in the third and was picked off again, but this time Howard quickly fired to second to get him.
JoePa tiptoes around question on Bowden’s future STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — Penn State coach Joe Paterno said Florida State’s Bobby Bowden should “decide what he wants to do now” but otherwise refrained from commenting about the future of the Seminoles’ coach. Responding to a question from a listener Thursday during his weekly radio appearance, the 82-year-old Paterno said the 79-yearold Bowden is a “wonderful person,” and that Bowden has helped build Florida State’s national reputation. Paterno leads Bowden 387-384 for most wins among major college coaches.
Paterno said he’s trying to avoid news about the future of Bowden, whose tenure came under fire this week after the chairman of the university’s trustees said the coaching staff was in disarray and Bowden should leave after this season. “I don’t know what’s going on, put it that way, but I certainly think Bobby, being what he’s done, and the kind of person he’s been, he certainly deserves ... he ought to be able to decide what he wants to do now,” Paterno said on the show. “I don’t know what he wants to do, and I don’t know what (Florida State)
wants to do,” Paterno said. “Nobody calls me up, and if they call me up, I say, ’Hey, no comment.”’ The pressure on Bowden is similar to the pressure Paterno felt earlier this decade when Penn State stumbled through a stretch of four losing seasons in five years. Some fans grumbled then that Paterno should retire. But No. 14 Penn State has rebounded with four consecutive winning seasons and a share of two Big Ten titles. Paterno, in his 44th year as head coach, is in the first season of a three-year contract extension.
In a statement later in the week, Florida State president T.K. Wetherell said Bowden’s job is safe for now, and that offensive coordinator Jimbo Fisher will be the next head coach when Bowden leaves and the university will work with Fisher on an agreement. The Seminoles (2-3, 0-2 Atlantic Coast) are off to their slowest start since Bowden’s first year as head coach in 1976. “I’ve tried not in anyway to even learn what’s going on,” Paterno said. “There are personalities that are conflicting obviously as to what should happen.”
tack mode; she also came up with 13 digs on the day to add to her impressive offensive display. Turner cited her team’s ability to come up with timely saves. “On the third hit, we got some of them over that really shouldn’t have gone over,” she said. “But because they were sharp and they were on it — those magical things begin to happen. It’s the chemistry that the girls have.” Sumner registered 36 assists and 15 digs, while Amber Edwards tallied 17 digs and Morgan Adcock added 14. Southern scored the final five points of a competitive first set. The Raiders took the decisive 22-21 lead with a kill from
Taylor, who finished with 27 total kills. Southern won’t have long to celebrate as the redemption theme continues with an away match in Raleigh against Cardinal Gibbons Monday. A now full-strength Gibbons was minus a few if its starters in last week’s hard-earned 3-1 win over the Raiders.
SPLIT, from page 1B other and communicate like they did in the first two sets.” Southern responded by building a 17-14 lead before the Panthers rallied to take back the lead at 18-17. The Raiders took a lead and extended it to two before Orange tied the set at 21. The Panthers fought back from a 2-0 deficit with a dominating third set win. Orange took a 10-9 lead and never looked back, holding six-point leads five different times before finally finishing Southern off. “The momentum was going our way, but we had to hold onto it,” Turner said. “They weren’t going to lay down and we knew that they would come back and fight.” The Panthers controlled the early stages of the first two sets, but the Raiders found a way back in the game both times. Orange led 17-13 in the second set before Southern came to life, tying it at 17 with an ace from Tremanisha Taylor. The Panthers struck back, taking 22-19
and 23-20 leads. The Raiders scored four straight, but couldn’t put Orange away as the teams traded blows. Southern tied the set at 26 and took the lead, setting up a heads-up play from Terry to end the frame. Terry, who finished with 23 kills and five blocks, pushed the ball into an open Panther corner to earn the set-winner. “I think she (Terry) was very deliberate in finding those holes because when you’re throwing up three blockers and they’re leaving one girl back there to cover the back, there’s a lot of space back there,” said Turner. “And it’s just a matter of finding that space.” Terry wasn’t just in at-

RAIDERS WIN, from page 1B throughout the entire game,” said Urbanski. “We’d have moments where we’d shine and play well and work as a team, but I think until we’re able to play like that for the entirety of the game, these games aren’t going to fall into our favor.” “And I think that’s a problem that we need to fix soon or it’s going to be a long season.” The Warriors took an early 1-0 lead when Stephen Hill knocked the ball past goalkeeper George Richardson at minute 13. Salazar tied it up with 17:38 to play in the first half. He fired a shot into the top right corner. Cameron Driver was credited with the assist. Webb looked to have an opportunity with just under 14 minutes left in the half. Richardson charged the ball, but couldn’t make the play, leaving the net briefly vacant. But the Warriors couldn’t capitalize, and the ball was kicked out of bounds. With just under 3:30 in the first half, Marco Hernandez put the Raiders up for good with a penalty kick that sailed past Webb goalie Geoffrey Cash. At minute 50, Southern had an chance on an empty net, but couldn’t take advantage and score. In the 51st minute, the Warriors drove down the field. Hill received a nice pass and fired a cross toward the nets, but it rolled just wide to the left. The Raiders, who dictated the pace for most of the second half, had an opportunity with 17 minutes left. Joel LopezHernandez missed on a free kick. Salazar scored his second off another Driver assist at minute 67. With the Raiders driving, Cash hesitated to rush the attack, and retreated back to the goal. But he wasn’t quick enough to halt Salazar’s shot, which made it 3-1. Salazar completed the hat trick with 6:30 to play. He scored on a header from a throw-in

by Caleb Garrett. “I guess what I’m really proud of is that in the second half, we matched their intensity. Webb’s kids played hard, they really did,” said Rotolo. “We talked about it at halftime. I think we went out and matched their intensity, we made a lot of really nice soccer plays, and we were able to finish.” Rotolo was also happy with his team’s performance in another way. “Even in my pregame talk, I told them that I was disappointed because I’m not sure that we have even blended ourselves into a team yet, and I think you saw a little bit of that out there on the field tonight. For that, I’m proud of them,” he said. The Warriors have a tough test on Monday when they host powerhouse Cardinal Gibbons in Oxford. “I think we need to stop dwelling on past losses and keep morale high, and know they’re just as good as those teams we lost to. If we work as a team and play our game, we can win. We should win,” Urbanski said. Webb will play each of the three conference teams they’ve lost against — Southern, Chapel Hill and Orange — in Oxford in the coming weeks. Urbanski said her team is looking forward to the rematches. “We want a second go. We want to prove ourselves, that the team that they saw is not the team we know we are,” she said. Southern (6-3-1, 1-2) has another conference game Monday against crosstown rival Northern Vance. The game will played at 6:30 p.m. at SVHS. “Hopefully (this) win can go a long way as far as creating some momentum, creating a team atmosphere and pulling our kids together and maybe get some continuity... into Monday night’s game,” said Rotolo.

Congress to look into Vikings suspensions case By FREDERIC J. FROMMER Associated Press Writer

use the right to explain the positive test. Neither the NFL nor the union had any immediate comment on the hearing. Waxman long has had an interest in performanceenhancing drugs in professional sports. As ranking Democrat and then chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, he was involved in hearings on steroid use in Major League Baseball. Over in the Senate, Pennsylvania Democrat Arlen Specter, who held a hearing last week on steroids in dietary supplements, recently told the AP he was looking into possible legislation so that federal law would govern in cases like the Vikings one. “The NFL has a rule, and professional football teams play in many, many states,” he said. “I don’t think there ought to be a deviation as to how you how you treat players depending on whether they’re in Minnesota or Pennsylvania.”

Boykin becoming a big-play guy for No. 5 Va. Tech BLACKSBURG, Va. — Boston College defenders will arrive at Virginia Tech’s Lane Stadium on Saturday as aware of Tyrod Taylor’s running ability as anything he can do throwing the ball. That could be good news for sophomore Jarrett Boykin, whose massive hands and play-making ability have made him one of Taylor’s favorite targets for the fifth-ranked Hokies. Boykin showed why on a play against the Duke Blue Devils. He went up for a jump ball in the end zone with a smaller cornerback defending him, got his hands on the ball at about the same time and ripped it away for his second touchdown of the season. The catch was one of six in the game for 144 yards for Boykin, helping Taylor throw for a career-best 327 yards. “If you’ve seen Jarrett’s hands, then you wouldn’t be worried,” Taylor said. Ah, Boykin’s hands. Not especially long, but big to the point of almost being fat. Teammates have given Boykins’ hands some of the most nicknames on the team. Meat Hands. Meat Hooks. Boat Oars. They are also why he goes through pairs of 3xsized receivers gloves at a great rate, needing a new pair each time he pulls them on and his girthy fingers shred the seams. More than his hands, though, 6-foot-2 Boykin wants to be noticed for his play. He patterns his game after that of NFL standout Terrell Owens, and delights in using his size to great advantage. “I like jump ball situa-
training camp in 2008. They acknowledge taking the over-the-counter weight loss supplement StarCaps, which did not state on the label that it contained the diuretic bumetanide. The diuretic is banned by the NFL because it can mask the presence of steroids; the players are not accused of taking steroids. The court ruling led to the NFL’s decision to allow New Orleans defensive ends Charles Grant and Will Smith, who had also been issued four-game suspensions, to continue playing. Both Saints players tested positive after using StarCaps. The league argued it should be allowed to enforce its drug policy because it was a product of the NFL’s collective bargaining agreement with the players union. The agreement is governed by federal labor law, which they argued preempted state law. The state law in Minnesota mandates that an employer give an employee who tests positive for drug
American lead at Presidents Cup as big as it looks

WASHINGTON — The House Energy and Commerce Committee plans to conduct a hearing next month on the case of two professional football players whose suspensions were blocked by a federal appeals court. Committee Chairman Henry Waxman, D-Calif., is concerned that the legal issues raised in the case “could result in weaker performance-enhancing drugs policies for professional sports,” the committee said in a statement issued to The Associated Press Thursday. The committee provided the statement after the AP reported the hearing, citing two people with knowledge of the committee plans. The two spoke on the condition of anonymity because the hearing had not yet been announced. The NFL had attempted to suspend Minnesota Vikings Pat Williams and Kevin Williams four games
each for violating the league’s anti-doping policy. But the players sued, arguing that the NFL’s testing violated state workplace laws. A federal judge issued an injunction blocking the order, which was upheld last month by a three-judge panel of the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The decision troubled the NFL and professional sports leagues, which expressed concern about players being subjected to different standards depending on their state. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said after the ruling that the NFL was considering its next step, which could include an appeal, a trial in state court, or taking the issue to Congress. Subsequently, the league was granted more time to file documents asking the court to reconsider the suspensions. The league wants to suspend the Williamses, who are not related, for testing positive for a banned substance during
tions,” he said. “When I go up and get it, everything in the air, I try to make the catch and make it mine. Those situations are what I love best because it can show the leaping ability and strength to take the ball away from the (defensive back).” So far, he leads the Hokies (4-1, 2-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) with 16 catches for 286 yards, numbers he’s hoping to boost significantly against the upstart Eagles (4-1, 2-1). Taylor and the Hokies may well need some of Boykin’s physicality against B.C., which seems primed to keep Taylor from tucking the ball and running when they play on Saturday. “He wants to beat you with his feet and we can’t let that happen,” Eagles defensive end Jim Ramella said. “... That’s when he makes the huge plays that he makes.” Taylor certainly has the ability to make big plays running, but his performance as a passer last week against Duke highlighted the growing trust he has in his receivers. “He trusts us. We trust him,” Boykin said. “He can make great passes and we put it on ourselves that wherever he puts it up, we go up and make a play and catch the ball.” That didn’t show up much in the Hokies first three games, at least not until a great pump fake by Taylor freed Danny Coale for an 81-yard catch and run against Nebraska in the closing minutes with Tech trailing. That led to Taylor’s 9-second scramble and 11-yard game-winning touchdown pass to a sliding Dyrell Roberts three plays later in the Hokies’ 16-15 victory.
SAN FRANCISCO — For the briefest moment, it looked as though Justin Leonard only had to pick up his coin for the Americans to win the final match Thursday and take another big lead on opening day at the Presidents Cup. First, there was some confusion over whether to concede his 3-foot putt. Then came a shocking miss from Leonard. The United States still wound up with a 3 1/2-2 1/2 lead at Harding Park, even if the International team claimed a partial victory. “At the end, we were pretty fortunate to have 2 1/2 points,” Ernie Els said. “That’s one of the better starts we’ve had, believe it or not, for the last three Cups or so. So we are not too despondent about today.” After Tiger Woods and Steve Stricker dominated early, and Phil Mickelson and Anthony Kim came to life late in their foursomes match, a bizarre finish in the final match made it unclear who actually had the momentum going into Friday. “We wanted to get out of the day with pretty close to a push, and I’m very, very happy,” International captain Greg Norman said. Leonard and Jim Furyk had a 1-up lead playing the par-5 18th hole, and Leonard hit a splendid fairway metal to the green that left the Americans on the verge of another full point, especially after Furyk lagged the eagle putt to 3 feet. Retief Goosen hit his approach right of the green, Y.E. Yang chipped to 4 feet and Goosen made the birdie putt. Then, the Goose forgot the score. He removed his cap and looked at Furyk as if to ask why Leonard should putt, believing the match was all square. Once he realized what was at stake, Leonard settled over the putt and was stunned when it caught the right lip. Leonard made no excuses. “I just hit a bad putt,” he said. “I knew I was going to need to make that little putt. Unfortunately, I missed it.” U.S. captain Fred Couples said Goosen later spoke to him and Leonard

The hole won by the Internationals resulting in the match being halved. and apologized for any misunderstanding. “He didn’t mean anything by it, and Justin didn’t have a problem,” Couples said. “No one has a problem with it. Did we think we were going to be up 4-2? Yes, we really did. But it won’t be the last putt every missed at the Presidents Cup, and it won’t be the last time a reversal was done. So we’ll just come out tomorrow and try to get 3 1/2 more points against this team.” It looked simple enough on a cool, cloudy day on this public course south of San Francisco. Woods and Stricker played bogey-free in the difficult alternate-shot format, teaming up for six birdies in a 6-and-4 victory over Geoff Ogilvy and 18-year-old Ryo Ishikawa. Mickelson and Kim, who sputtered around for 12 holes, closed with four straight birdies for a 3-and-2 victory over Tim Clark and Mike Weir, the only partnership that failed to produce a birdie at Harding Park. The momentum switched to American red on the scoreboard late, and the final push figured to come from Leonard and Furyk, who made a furious rally in the middle of the match by winning four straight holes to take the lead. They were 2 up with two to play. Goosen holed a birdie putt on the 17th to send the match to the par-5 18th, setting up the odd conclusion.
“I was a little confused by the whole thing, to tell you the truth,” Stricker said. “It looked like he was going to give him the putt. Obviously, he didn’t. We talked to Jim Furyk, and nothing was ever conceded. But from everybody standing there on the side, it kind of looked like he was going to give it to him.” Norman said there was no gamesmanship on Goosen’s part. “He thought the match was over,” Norman said. “He didn’t concede the putt. He just thought the match was over. It was a legitimate mistake, and no intent or malice. It was just the intensity of the game.” Next up are six more matches Friday, this time fourballs. Two years ago at Royal Montreal, the International team failed to win a match in the opening session and fell five points behind. This is one time a tie — the halve in the final match — felt far better. It goes into the second round with a fighting chance. Both teams and captains were around for the finish, and Norman couldn’t help but notice how Leonard went from hitting a clutch shot from the middle of the fairway to missing a short putt for the victory. “It’s a cruel game,” Norman said. In the seven previous Presidents Cup, only once has a team trailing after the first session gone on to win — the U.S. team
in 2005. The Americans also trailed by one point in 2003 in South Africa, where the cup ended in a tie. Ishikawa had said he and Ogilvy would be facing the Americans’ best team, and he was right. Woods and Stricker proved to be a tough combination of Woods’ pure iron shots and Stricker’s sure putting. Woods got them going with an 18-foot birdie putt on the opening hole, while Stricker closed out a flawless front nine with a 30-foot birdie putt on the par-3 ninth. Weir and Clark, despite not making a birdie, still had a 1-up lead through 12 holes. The Americans squared the match on the 13th, when Kim hit a wedge to 3 feet. On the next hole, Mickelson made an 18-foot birdie, and they were on their way. “We needed something to ignite us and that wedge shot did the trick,” Mickelson said. The International picked up some hope from the final match ending in a halve, and a load of confidence from Adam Scott. He was a surprise captain’s pick coming off his worst year on tour, yet Scott was solid with Els against mistakeprone Hunter Mahan and Sean O’Hair for a 2-and-1 victory. “Any victory is important, but personally for me, it feels great,” Scott said. “But more importantly, we need it for the team.”

Augustin leads Bobcats past Hornets in Paul’s homecoming By JOEDY McCREARY AP Sports Writer

21-point lead in the second half, but used a late 10-3 run to snap an 0-9 record in preseason games under the second-year coach. Augustin played about 17 minutes in the second half after Raymond Felton, the Bobcats’ starter at point guard, collided with Sean Marks and left with what he described as a mild rib injury. Paul scored 15 of his 24 points in the third quarter for the Hornets, who outscored the Bobcats 32-13 during a 9-minute stretch late in the third to erase most of the 21-point deficit. New Orleans then took its first lead of the game — and the preseason — when rookie Marcus Thornton’s 3-pointer made it 82-81 with 9:44 left. Then, Thornton’s 3 with 4:08 remaining tied it at 96.

19 points and is pushing Morris Peterson for playing time at shooting guard. David West scored 14 points and Peterson had 13 and while rookie Darren Collison — who is competing for the job as Paul’s backup at point guard — finished with 12. “I like the fact that the young guys kept their poise,” Hornets coach Byron Scott said. “We’re still making a lot of mistakes on both ends of the floor, and both of those guys are a little part of it ... but overall, it wasn’t bad.” Nazr Mohammed’s jumper with 3:47 left broke the 96-all tie and put the Bobcats ahead to stay. He was one of Charlotte’s options inside as Brown continued to tinker with a depleted frontcourt that was without injured Ri. Williams, MIA T. Jones, NYJ

starters Tyson Chandler (left ankle surgery) and Boris Diaw (sprained left ankle) for a second straight game. “It’s not an experiment. We’re just finding out who can play,” Brown said. “That’s what training camps are for, to give guys that deserve to play the opportunity, and then work on the things you think are important to help your team win.” Mohammed and Vladimir Radmanovic replaced them in the starting lineup, with Radmanovic scoring six points during Charlotte’s 12-0 gameopening run and finishing with eight. Mohammed picked up three fouls in a 45-second span of the first. Replacement officials whistled the teams for a combined 77 fouls, and the teams shot a total 95 free throws.

“If they’re going to call the game the way they’ve been calling it, we’ve got to adjust to it,” Scott said. The game marked Paul’s return to the central North Carolina Triad. He grew up about a 30-minute drive down Tobacco Road in WinstonSalem, led hometown Wake Forest to its first No. 1 ranking in 2004-05 and turned pro after his sophomore season, winning the rookie of the year award in 2006. “It’s always good to come back home and play in front of my friends and family,” Paul said. “This is my last time to be this close to home until, hopefully, June.” He played 24 minutes in front of the home folks. Both teams played their starters for roughly two quarters. The first matchup
between the Bobcats and the first draft pick in their history wound up being derailed by injury, with new Hornets big man Emeka Okafor sitting out because if a sprained right big toe. Okafor, taken No. 2 overall by Charlotte in 2004, was dealt in July to New Orleans for Chandler. But if there was any lingering bitterness between Okafor and his former team, he hid it well. Roughly an hour before tipoff, he and Brown shook hands and shared a laugh in the hallway before the center popped into Charlotte’s locker room to visit his old teammates. “No hard feelings — both sides understood what they needed to do to make themselves better, and I’m happy that they were able to put me in a good situation as well,” Okafor said.

(Answers tomorrow) BULLY GARISH SEPTIC Jumbles: COLIC Answer: What the retiree needed when he decided to take up golf — A “COURSE”
SUDOKU
Today’s answer
HOROSCOPES ARIES (March 21-April 19). You have now officially been seeing things from the same point of view for too long. Take a map of Earth and turn it upside down. The world is what you make it, and all reference points are relative. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Attention to detail is what makes your endeavors a smash hit. You’ll even dress better than usual, with a knack for figuring out just which accessory will bring the most to your ensemble. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There was something in a movie you saw recently, an image or a line that really stuck with you. Look into it now and see what it tells you about your present home situation. CANCER (June 22-July 22). An underdeveloped talent is starting to itch. Recognize this as the cosmic gift it is: the bigger you asking for attention. That change in your schedule that freed up some time? No coincidence. Use it and grow. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). A tiny little detail leaps out at you and makes a disproportionately big impression. Pause and ponder. This is definitely a clue. It has something to do with your finances and how you can improve them. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). An ongoing dispute between mutual friends is starting to try your patience. A small misunderstanding led to a bitter feud, which led to you being really annoyed. Would that everyone were as compromiseminded as you.

Once you commit to a direction, you’ll be flocked by like thinkers and kindred spirits. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). A flair for anticipating the unexpected is precisely what drew you to this line of work. Lucky for you, your talents and your work have a rare synergy, which is why advancement is imminent. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). A new development at work brings unanticipated consequences on the home front. Whatever it is, it can be worked out. Your loved ones adore you, but they need a little reassurance that the feeling is mutual. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Give some thought to an upcoming trip. Who says you can’t vacation at the same spot twice? True, there are endless places to escape to, but there’s nothing wrong with building on a past good experience. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). This is no day to be like a child sitting in the back of the class. You chose your current environment because you wanted to learn, and now it benefits you to position yourself right up front, close to your teacher. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your life’s palate is craving new flavor, and there are a lot of recipes you have yet to try both figuratively and literally. Make an interesting new dish, or go where one will be made for you.
