A one-year-old boy and his 12-year-old sister died, while their 16-year-old brother escaped from the house and an eight-yearold brother was rescued by a neighbor. Investigators said the blaze broke out around 9:45 p.m. Henderson Fire Chief Danny Wilkerson would not release any names Tuesday afternoon. A next-door neighbor, Bernice Davis, said she and her 22-year-old son, Randell Malone, ran to the fire scene after 16-year-old Devante Lewis came to their front door in only his

Keep city workers on garbage trucks Residents oppose plan to privatize collection By WILLIAM F. WEST Daily Dispatch Writer
Three residents told the City Council they want the sanitation service to remain a municipal operation. Lawrence Harris and his wife, Geneva, and Lewis Edwards, a governmental watchdog who was a candidate for the council, each stepped to the podium at Monday evening’s council meeting. Their statements came shortly before Assistant City Manager Frank Frazier and City Public Works Director Linda Leyen made a presentation to the council outlining their recommendation — in more detail than a previous presentation — that the city contract with Waste Industries to handle the collection of household garbage and recyclables. And the two are recommending switching from backdoor service to curbside service, except for those who are physically challenged. Councilwoman Mary Emma Evans at the end of the presentation stated her opposition to privatization, saying residents are satisfied with the present service. Evans’ remarks drew a softly spoken “Amen” from Lawrence Harris as he watched from the audience. Earlier in the session, Harris expressed concern about residents, including senior citizens, having to push the 95-gallon
garbage containers proposed by Waste Industries, saying, “That’s more than a lot of people in this town can do.” Harris noted he has a gravel driveway a good ways from the street, with the walk back to his house being uphill, and noted one could imagine the sight of him with his sore knees trying to handle a container full of garbage. And Harris said while he sees the municipal sanitation workers are in a hurry, they look to him like they are working hard. “And I don’t see any reason in the world that we would do away with that service,” Harris said, adding he believes this one of the best services the city can provide for residents. Harris said that he has read where maybe the city could save money by contracting out, but that Waste Industries is not going to provide the service for free. “They’re looking forward to making money off this deal,” Harris said. And Harris said he would be willing to pay “a little more” in taxes to keep the service in city hands. Geneva Harris added she is “100 percent” in favor of maintaining backyard service. “The workers need their jobs. And they do an excellent job,” she said. “We have the facility to house the trucks that we already have.” “It is also best in beautifying and keeping the city clean,” she Please see GARBAGE, page 4A

VGCC seminar focuses on history of disease in the South With the nation battling influenza this fall, VanceGranville Community College history instructor Joshua McKaughan presented a seminar to provide a historical perspective on how epidemic diseases have affected the South in the past. McKaughan’s presentation, held in the VGCC Civic Center on Oct. 21, was the second part of a three-part series of seminars on epidemics organized by the college’s Arts and Sciences instructors. McKaughan explained that from the earliest English settlement in the South — around Chesapeake Bay — disease shaped the region’s history. Lacking natural immunity to the local illnesses, adult migrants to the Chesapeake lost about ten years from their English life expectancy. Up to 40 percent of new arrivals may have died in their first couple of years, commonly of a variety of ailments

demics,� McKaughan said. McKaughan went into detail regarding two diseases which were once widespread in the South: malaria and hookworm. The devastating effects of malaria epidemics in the early South led Englishmen to say, “They who want to die quickly, go to Carolina.� Hookworm disease often leads to anemia, slowed mental development and lack of energy. In the 20th century, it was discovered that this debilitating parasite was to blame for the unfair characterization of Southerners as “lazy� and for learning
disabilities in many children. VGCC’s series on epidemics began with a seminar in September on how environmental factors shape the spread of disease. The series concludes when English instructor James Powell conducts a seminar on the prevalence of epidemics in literature on Nov. 18 from 1-3 p.m. in the VGCC Civic Center on the main campus. The seminar is open to the public, in addition to college students, faculty and staff. For more information, call Button Brady at (252) 7383277.

associated with malaria and intestinal disorders. “The South’s unique health history undoubtedly contributed to making the region a distinctive national subculture,� McKaughan said. “A reputation for poor health helped perpetuate a negative image of the South that retarded regional development by discouraging immigration and investment.� The region’s heat and high humidity promoted the development of the microbes and insects that spread yellow fever, malaria and hookworm. “As a result, the ‘sickly’ South of the 19th century found itself drained by the diseases that carried away the region’s human resources, deterred capital investment and urbanization, and disrupted commerce and transportation during epi-

in the press room at The Daily Dispatch in the late 1980s and the early 1990s. Ayana Lewis was employed at the State Employees Credit Union in Henderson for five years, and left there about 1993. The couple declined Tuesday to return a phone call requesting interviews. The family, including Devante and June Micah, were believed to be staying with relatives Tuesday. The fire chief, Danny Wilkerson, said the blaze was confined to the bedroom in which the two children were killed. According to Wilkerson, a small radiator heater that firefighters dragged out into the yard to study
was similar to another one that was in the bedroom where the blaze occurred. The cause of the fire is being investigated by the Arson Task Force and the SBI because fatalities were involved, Wilkerson explained. He said Devante had been in a bathroom adjacent to the bedroom in which his siblings died. Wilkerson added that he had not heard that another brother (June Micah) had been rescued inside the house during the fire. People who know the family said most of their belongings were ruined. Because Ayana Lewis had been a team captain last summer, Vance

side of his wife, Anita. The mayor said in April 2006 that his wife has been dealing with treatments since having undergone cancer surgery. Mayor Pro Tem Howard Herring, representing Oxford’s government, said, “It is indeed a pleasure to welcome this industrial giant to our community.” Herring went on to note the city’s capacity to provide water and to note the municipal state-of-theart wastewater treatment plant. And Herring said that, consistent with surrounding industries, Oxford’s government is more than willing to discuss Shalag’s public safety needs. Granville County Commission Chairman Hubert Gooch said, “You need no key to the county. All doors are open to you. All hands are outstretched in welcoming and greeting you.”

And Berger said what Shalag leaders will find in the audience are not just Oxford and Granville County leaders, but leaders from other communities “because we all share in the joy that you are making this huge investment in our community.” Crawford said, “We’re just very tickled to have you in our neighborhood. We look forward to working with you and these are the movers and shakers. They’re all here.

Deaths Edison L. Forsyth RALEIGH — Edison Lancelot Forsyth, 82, passed away peacefully in his sleep at his home in Raleigh, NC on Tuesday, November 10, 2009. A memorial service will be held Friday, November 13, 2009 at 11 AM at Hayes Barton United Methodist Church -2209 Fairview Road – with the Rev. Rick Clayton officiating. The family will receive friends following the service. Born in Henderson, NC on June 8, 1927; he was the son of the late Ira Clyde and Myrtle Whitby Forsyth. Mr. Forsyth was a graduate of Henderson High School. He volunteered for the Navy V-5 flight program and was assigned to the U.S. Naval Air Station in Memphis, TN for flight training. Following the end of WWII, he was discharged from the Navy with the rank of Aviation Cadet. Mr. Forsyth attended NC State University, Hampden-Sydney College and Duke University. Mr. Forsyth was employed for several years by the American Agricultural Chemical Company in Henderson, before joining the NC Farm Bureau Insurance Company. After 32 years with the company, he retired in 1992 after having served as Claims Supervisor for eastern North Carolina before being promoted to the position he held for 20 years as Operations Manager in Raleigh. A beloved father, grandfather, greatgrandfather and uncle, he is survived by his son: James Edison Forsyth and wife Melissa, of Raleigh: daughter: Dr. Scarlett Forsyth Bryant, of Washington, NC and their mother: Sarah Hobgood Forsyth. He will also be fondly remembered by his four grandchildren: James Bedford Bryant II (wife, Anna) of Greensboro, Douglas Edison Bryant (wife, Leslie), Sara Baker Bryant and Ashlea Dixon Fields (husband, Chuck) all of Raleigh. Four great-grandchildren who survive are Mackenzie Bryant, Katie Bryant, Lucy Bryant and Brooke Fields. Mr. Forsyth is survived by several nieces and nephews. He also leaves his faithful and constant feline com-
panion, Callie. He was preceded in death by two brothers, Clyde Roland Forsyth and Dr. Carl Winston Forsyth and a special cousin Ruthie Forsyth Roberts Duke. Ed, as he was known to his friends, was an active member of Hayes Barton United Methodist Church and enjoyed the love and fellowship he shared with his Bible study groups and the ACC Sunday School Class. He was very proud of his 15 years of volunteer service with Meals on Wheels and the friendships that developed with his partners over the years. Ed will be remembered for his love of God, his devotion to his family and his compassion for his fellow man. He loved fishing with his Farm Bureau friends and he was especially fond of taking his grandsons on fishing outings and teaching them how to fish. His granddaughters came to love and appreciate his humor and dry wit during the many hours spent together at football games, on trips, or simply enjoying each others’ company. He shared many of his childhood memories with them and always found a way to bring in stories of the Great Depression and his military service during WWII. He was an inspiration to all who were fortunate enough to know him. The family expresses the utmost appreciation to Dr. David Kent Millward and Dr. D. Alan Hayes for their compassionate care, to Rev. Rick Clayton, the ACC Sunday School Class, and the Disciple Bible School group for their abundant love and support. Also appreciated is the excellent care provided by his Hospice Team members, Dorian Hinson, Sandy Kahan, and Joycelin Thompson. …and the time of my departure has come. I have fought a good fight, I have finished the race. I have kept the faith. 2 Timothy 4:6-7 Thank you God for letting him be our daddy and granddaddy. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to: The Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation — 1332 North Halstead Street, Suite 201 – Chicago, IL 60642 or to Hayes Barton United Methodist Church – 2209 Fairview Road – Raleigh, NC 27608.

to form a committee to investigate the possibility of Waste Management coming in and partnering with InEnTec and using Henderson as a better site. Edwards noted Henderson’s proximity to Raleigh and Durham and the Research Triangle Park. And Edwards said, “It would give Henderson an opportunity to pat itself on the back and say, ‘Look, we’re doing something new and innovative.’” The payoff would be the recovery of valuable resources, Edwards said, adding that there is more aluminum and steel in a ton of municipal solid waste than there is in a ton of raw ore. And Edwards noted the federal government has grants available to those who are pioneering. “Let’s look at something outside the box,” Edwards said, noting another plus would be solving the recycling problem.

Senate Democrats move to curb powers of Fed By ANNE FLAHERTY Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Democrats on Tuesday proposed stripping the U.S. Federal Reserve of its supervisory powers and creating instead three new federal agencies to police banks, protect consumers and dismantle failing institutions. The 1,136-page bill, released by Senate Banking Committee Chairman Christopher Dodd, would represent a significant shift in power in federal oversight of the U.S. market. The Fed has been a dominant figure in managing the economy, although many lawmakers blame the central bank for not doing enough to prevent last year’s crisis. “We saw over the last number of years when (the Fed) took on consumer protection responsibilities and the regulation of bank holding companies, it was an abysmal failure,” said Dodd, a Democrat. Dodd’s proposal prompted cheers from consumer advocates and other Democrats, including Sen. Mark Warner, an influential moderate who said swift action was necessary to prevent future government bailouts of big banks. “Never again should the American taxpayers have to hear about ‘too big to fail,’ where the American taxpayer has to pick up the slack,” Warner said. But the financial industry quickly pushed back, and Republicans were expected to oppose much of
the bill. The bill “would produce conflicts among regulators, undermine the statechartered banking system, and impose extensive new regulatory burdens on those banks that had nothing to do with creating the financial crisis,” said Edward Yingling, president of the American Bankers Association. Among the top points of contention is Dodd’s desire to create a Consumer Financial Protection Agency to protect consumers taking out home loans or using credit cards against predatory lending and surprise interest rate hikes. Republicans and industry officials say that creating another bureaucracy will make it harder for banks to do business and would limit the availability of credit. Other provisions in Dodd’s bill would: • Consolidate federal supervision of banks under a “Financial Institutions Regulatory Administration.” • Abolish the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Office of Thrift Supervision, and strip the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Fed of their bank supervision duties. • Create an “Agency for Financial Stability” that would enforce new rules and dismantle complex financial firms if they threaten the broader economy. • Regulate privately traded derivatives, hedge funds and other private pools of capital so that
regulators have a sense of how much risk is being assumed by financial firms. • Impose new rules on investment rating agencies. • Limit the Fed’s ability to provide emergency loans to mostly healthy institutions, instead of failing firms. The Senate Banking Committee was expected to take up the legislation next week and vote by early December. Dodd said he expects to need Republican support to get the bill through Congress and that he remains optimistic consensus could be reached. The bill will also have to be reconciled with the House version. Rep. Barney Frank, chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, said he expects a floor vote in December on his proposal. Like Dodd, Frank wants to strip the Fed of its consumer protection powers and create a separate agency dedicated to the mission. Both House and Senate bills also would limit the Fed’s ability to provide emergency loans and create a council of regulators to monitor the risks posed by large financial firms. But the House bill would not consolidate federal banking supervision and would ultimately put the Fed in charge of enforcing new requirements for large and influential firms. Frank said Dodd’s announcement on Tuesday confirmed that “we are moving in the same direction” and will enact legislation soon.
Seminar: Steps to starting a business Vance-Granville Community College’s Small Business Center will present a free seminar, “Ten Steps To Starting a Business,” on Tuesday, Dec. 1. The seminar will be held from 6 until 9 p.m. in room 7107 of Building 7 on the college’s main campus in Vance County. Jess McLamb of Raleigh, president of the Roper Group, will lead the seminar, which covers
what an entrepreneur should know before committing time and financial resources to starting a small business. The information discussed in this class should help participants make a feasibility assessment and understand minimum start-up requirements, licensing, markets, and financial and tax requirements. McLamb received a B.A.
degree from East Carolina University and completed post-graduate courses in accounting at N.C. State University. She was a senior-level manager in the financial services industry for 20 years before starting her consulting and training business. Space is limited for this free seminar. To reserve a seat, call the Small Business Center at (252) 738-3240 or 738-3275.

Finding your way around Lake Gaston is about to get easier The Lake Gaston Chamber and the O’Sail organization have joined forces to produce a series of information kiosks to be placed at strategic locations in the Lake Gaston area. They have dubbed these kiosks “The Lake Concierge,” or TLC. Kiosks will provide information about lake history, local businesses, points of interest, coming events, community news and chamber activities — much like the concierge services at many hotels. Construction will start just after the holiday season. The first kiosk (pictured) will be located at the entrance to the Food Lion shopping plaza near the large sign on River Road. One of the display cases in the TLC will contain a directory of local businesses and a map with markers indicating their location. A second display case will be allotted to other visual advertising materials. The only requirements to be represented in these display cases are that the business be a member of the Lake Gaston Chamber of Commerce and pay a small fee. Volunteers with O’Sail will build the kiosks, and the organization is seeking donors to provide materials and additional construction services. The kiosk team is also identifying other potential sites for additional kiosks. Any property owner who would like to be considered for a kiosk location should contact the Lake Chamber office.

Historical Society meeting set for Sunday afternoon
VGCC culinary technology student Whitney Ray was among those working for Simply Delicious Catering at the ball held in honor of the college’s 40th anniversary on Oct. 3.
VGCC culinary student already gaining much valuable experience When Whitney Ray of Stem graduates from VanceGranville Community College’s Culinary Technology program one day, she will already have under her belt the experience of running the kitchen at a summer camp for children. Earlier this year, Chef Ross Ragonese, who heads the VGCC culinary program, nominated Ray for consideration for a summer job. Ragonese had been approached by Chris Richardson, director of financial development for the Masonic Home for Children in Oxford, where the culinary program is based. Richardson’s friend, Donna McGrath, is the director of Camp Rainbow, a camp in Foscoe, N.C., near Boone, and was looking for someone to manage food service for all attendees during the summer. The camp is sponsored by the Masonic North Carolina Order of the Eastern Star. Ray interviewed with McGrath in Raleigh and was offered the position. From May 15 through Aug. 1, Ray prepared three meals a day for between 25 and 45 people, including counselors and other adults, with each group of campers staying for one week. “I learned about time
management, I learned that working in a kitchen is hard work, and I learned about the importance of having a team,” Ray said later. “I had other people working for me at breakfast and lunch, but for dinner, I was the only one.” She ran the kitchen, managed personnel, handled purchasing, and performed the many tasks required to lead the culinary operation. “It’s totally different from class, because in class, you just cook one small dish, but at the camp, I had to cook massive amounts, so that was a surprise at first,” she said. Ray described the boys and girls, ages 9-17, who came to the camp from all over the state, as “really sweet.” She said the summer experience was “hard” but beneficial. “I was brand new, and I just jumped in!” Ray said. “Whitney did
an outstanding job, even though, at the time, she had only learned the basic skills of a second-semester student,” Ragonese said. “I’m very proud of her.” Ray enrolled in the culinary program in 2008. She was inspired by her grandmother, a longtime cook who taught her granddaughter what she knew. “When my grandmother passed away two years ago, I wanted to continue learning and maybe make her proud,” Ray said. “Also, I really love to cook!” Ray now works for Simply Delicious Catering, the local business that catered the college’s 40th Anniversary Ball on Oct. 3. Ray is interested in being a caterer herself one day. For more information about the culinary program, call Ragonese at (919) 6900312.

Daily Meditation Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak. Mark 14:38
Our Opinion
Time for younger vets to represent Today is Veterans Day. Local schoolkids get the day off. Banks are closed. Some retailers no doubt are offering discounts or conducting storewide sales. But we can’t think of anyone locally who is conducting a suitable public ceremony for the occasion. We know that such services have been held at times in the past. But times do change. In this case, we believe that fewer and fewer of the men and women for whom Veterans Day has the deepest meaning, are around anymore to organize, staff and publicize such an important event. Huffington Post reported last year that some 1,800 World War II veterans die every day. Our “Greatest Generation” — the men and women who fought the battles and worked the home front to defeat Axis tyranny — are leaving us in ever-greater numbers. But WWII service people aren’t the only ones for whom the bell is now all too frequently tolling. Veterans of the Korean War — fought from 1950 to 1952 — now range in age from their late 60s well into their 80s. And those who served our country bravely in Vietnam are, at their youngest, mid-50s. Meanwhile, veterans’ organizations — such as the VFW and American Legion — have declined in membership. In February, the national commander of the VFW, Glen Gardner Jr., told a Tennessee audience that of the organization’s 1.6 million members, 495,000 are older than 82, another 300,000 are between 72 and 81, and fewer than 10 percent are younger than age 50. The time has more than come and gone for the nation’s younger servicemen and women — those who wore our nation’s uniforms in more recent conflicts and police actions from Lebanon to Nicaragua to Grenada, during Desert Storm, and in the current the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan — to take up the charge of their forefathers. Younger vets, join these groups. Veterans’ issues — such as your health care and your pension — are best addressed by your standing and fighting together as you did while in uniform. And your nation is honored and preserved by your organizing memorial services, holding essay contests and establishing educational programs in local schools, and being visible in the community as proud former servicemen, almost as much as when you donned uniforms, shouldered arms and faced the enemy. Too many men and women have bled and died for this country for Veterans Day to be reduced to a banking and school holiday or a pre-Black Friday chance for early Christmas shopping. Answer the call. Remind us all.
Quotable “Reports that President Obama has made a decision about Afghanistan are absolutely false. He has not received final options for his consideration, he has not reviewed those options with his national security team, and he has not made any decisions about resources. Any reports to the contrary are completely untrue and come from uninformed sources.” — National security adviser James Jones, in a statement as President Barack Obama nears a decision to add tens of thousands more forces to Afghanistan, though likely not quite the 40,000 sought by his top general there. “I want to make sure that the provision that emerges meets that test — that we are not in some way sneaking in funding for abortions, but, on the other hand, that we’re not restricting women’s insurance choices.” — President Barack Obama, in an interview with ABC News as abortion opponents in the Senate seek tough restrictions in the health care bill.
Tuesday was a “bad news” day in Henderson. A fire Monday night at about 9:45 had killed two children, 12-year-old Abria Lewis and her 1-year-old brother, Chase. Brothers ages 16 and 9 — named Devante and June — managed to escape, the latter with the help of a neighbor’s adult son. I join Dispatch Publisher James Edwards in teaching a class — a Citizen Schools “apprenticeship” in newspaper journalism — every Tuesday afternoon from 4:30 to 6 p.m. at Henderson Middle School. Abria Lewis was a student there; her mother, Ayana, is one of the school’s guidance counselors. Late Tuesday morning I received a phone call from Kaylor Garcia, the young woman who directs the Citizen Schools program at HMS. She said that the apprenticeships would take place at the regular time Tuesday, but citizen teachers should be prepared to deal with classrooms in which some of the children might still be too troubled or distracted to contribute as much. At 4:34 p.m., stepping through the door of our Citizen Schools room a couple of minutes late due to an unavoidable conflict at work, I could see the kids at their desks. Pained expressions. Eyes weary of weeping. A few with tears still streaking their faces. And then I heard the discussion. The kids weren’t just venting, or sharing their grief. They were conducting a staff meeting. Directed by Phil Burgess, our
Citizen Schools facilitator, they had already brainstormed how to cover the story. Jhané, the details freak who wants to be sure there’s a spring semester calendar in our paper, sat with a pen and her reporter notebook, recording what had been decided. • There Glenn would be a biographiCraven cal story on Daily Dispatch Abria; she Editor was a cheerleader, a good student, some had known her since third grade. • A reaction story to accompany, with comments from students who knew the girl, and loved her as their friend. • A sidebar on fire safety and how kids can prevent or react to such an emergency in their own home. • A photo assignment for the upcoming memorial service to be held at HMS, and to collect supporting art from yearbooks or other sources. The gravity of the moment landed on me both painful and proud. I hadn’t wandered into a classroom. I had walked into our newsroom. These kids, ages 10 to about 13, were still aching. But throughout the day faculty and staff had helped them sort through a lot of those emotions. And by late-afternoon — red-
eyed but resolved — they were digging in for the fight. Their friend had died. Her story must be told. I began to fight back my own tears, shed from both shared grief and boundless respect for these students and Mr. Burgess. When James walked in a minute later, all I could stammer was, “We have a heckuva newsroom.” The kids were ahead of the game. Budgeting done, it was time to hand out assignments. Ryan volunteered to be the point man on the bio. His brother Skyler took the sidebar on fire safety. Alma staked a claim to the “reax” story with student quotes. Megan pitched a brief on HMS efforts to raise money for the Lewis family. Jhané took the photo assignment for herself. Only a week ago, Mr. Burgess had reminded the kids that while we already had assigned a full budget for the paper — a sports story on athletes from the various HMS Rams teams, a feature on Principal Victor Fenner, a look at various cliques in the school, the story of Citizen Schools, art and poetry, even a comic strip — the student journalists would have to remain flexible in case important news came up that changed our priorities. “This is that ‘breaking news,’” I told our young team, still biting my lip and with watering eyes. “And I hate that this is how you have to learn the lesson.” Then we got down to work. After our 90-minute class, James and I bumped into Mr. Fenner on our way out of the
building. He thanked us for helping with Citizen Schools. I told him the experience had become more profound for me than it was for the kids. Every child, particularly those in the core group that is present every Tuesday, has made a good impression. Brittany, the poet, vocally espouses her confidence on virtually every subject. And Casey, her quiet sidekick, almost wordlessly convinces you that she’s just as proficient. Dennis at just 10 years of age suggested that an important question to ask when doing interviews for our staff bios would be, “What are your aptitudes?” Nick has tried out for the wrestling team, but is still helping us grapple with putting out a newspaper. Tydarius transcribed his handwritten bio assignment about Nick into the laptop computer without making a single typographical error. And Ziquavã was not present Tuesday, but his brainstorm for the name of Henderson Middle School’s first-ever newspaper — The RamPage — was an immediate and unanimous choice for the Page 1 nameplate. Have you ever been guilty of saying that today’s kids are alienated, uneducated and unmotivated? You aren’t part of Citizen Schools. You haven’t met our kids. You could learn a lot from them.

Lots and lots of unconnected dots Does anyone remember the days when “connecting the dots” was considered vital to national security? After the September 11 attacks, we had the 9/11 Commission and countless knockoff studies, committees, investigations, hearings, journalistic exposés and outings of fact-finders. The lesson from all of them was that in order to make sure “this never happens again,” we must get better at connecting the dots. No more Johnell Bryants! You don’t remember poor her? She was the hapless Department of Agriculture official who interviewed a loan applicant by the name of Mohamed Atta (the leader of the 9/11 hijackers). At the time of their meeting, he wanted a $650,000 loan to buy a crop duster with an abnormally large tank. Guess why? When Bryant told Atta he couldn’t have the loan, Atta responded by asking, in the words of the New York Times, “what was to keep him from slitting her throat and stealing money from the safe behind the desk in her Florida office”? Bryant didn’t think much of the comment and continued to chat with the eager loan applicant, perhaps in part to assure him that he wasn’t being discriminated against, as he claimed. Again the Times: “Later in their meeting ... (Atta) told
her he wanted to buy an aerial picture of Washington that hung in her office. He pulled out a wad of cash and threw money on her desk, even after she said she would not sell it. He asked about the White House and Pentagon, and she pointed them out.” Atta then went on to praise Jonah “the world’s Goldberg greatest leader,” Tribune Media Osama bin Services Laden, and peppered her with questions about the security at various D.C. landmarks. “Should I have picked up the telephone and called someone? ...” Bryant mused to the Times. “I don’t know how I could possibly expect myself to have recognized what the man was. And yet sometimes I haven’t forgiven myself.” But Bryant gets a pass. This all happened before 9/11. Before everything changed. Flash forward to Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, the man who last week shot more than 40 people at Fort Hood, killing 13, while reportedly shouting “Allahu Akbar!” “As a senior-year psychiatric resident at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Maj. Nidal M. Hasan was supposed
to make a presentation on a medical topic of his choosing as a culminating exercise of the residency program,” reports the Washington Post. Hasan went a different way. He opted to give a bizarre PowerPoint presentation in which he defended suicide bombing and explained that nonbelievers should be beheaded, burned alive and have boiling oil poured down their throats (presumably not in that order). He argued that all Muslims should be discharged from the military. One slide concluded: “We love death more then (sic) you love life!” According to the Post, the medical staff in attendance was deeply disturbed by the incident. But there’s apparently no record of anyone reporting it to authorities. That would have been insensitive and discriminatory. The following year, intelligence officials discovered that Hasan had been sending e-mail to Anwar al-Aulaqi, a prominent American-born radical cleric now based in Yemen with ties to al-Qaida. The FBI concluded it was no big deal and dropped the matter. “Investigators,” reports the Post, “said Hasan’s e-mails were consistent with the topic of his academic research and involved some social chatter and religious discourse.” Ah yes, his “academic research,” which was laid out so
rigorously in his PowerPoint presentation. Hasan also reportedly expressed joy over the murder of an Army recruiter in Arkansas and moral support for suicide bombers. His views were not a secret to his colleagues, nor apparently to his patients, whom he tried to proselytize. Maybe the e-mails seemed innocuous enough. Maybe. But you know, I’ve been interviewed by the FBI a few times as part of routine background checks for friends and colleagues seeking government jobs. The G-Men ask all sorts of probing questions. If a friend of mine supported suicide bombings and attacks on American soil, I think it would have come up. When my wife was up for a job at the Justice Department, her background checker grilled her relentlessly over the fact that she once had a reduction in her rent by $100 a month. It was as if this proved she had a gambling problem, or credit issues, or was a sleeper agent for the Bulgarian KGB or something. Apparently, the FBI’s investigation of Hasan was not even that thorough. When the FBI “investigated,” it seems they went looking for a reason not to investigate — and they found it. No dots there. Johnell Bryants everywhere. You can write to Jonah Goldberg by e-mail at JonahsColumn@aol.com.

The Drug Enforcement Administration said Tuesday those arrested in October and November were part of the Mexico-based La Familia Michoacana drug organization.
Officials say La Familia is responsible for the distribution of cocaine, heroin, marijuana and methamphetamine into central and eastern North Carolina. Federal drug raids in October netted more than 300 suspects across the country. Law enforcement officials say “Project Coronado” is the largest single strike at a Mexican drug cartel in the United States.

U.S. officials begin push against human trafficking By RUSSELL CONTRERAS Associated Press Writer
BOSTON — Fourteen U.S. cities are being targeted in a new campaign aimed at alerting people about human trafficking, federal immigration officials have announced. The “Hidden in Plain Sight” initiative, sponsored by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, features billboards highlighting “the horrors and the prevalence of human trafficking,”
which the agency says is equivalent to “modern-day slavery.” The words “Hidden in Plain Sight” are displayed on the advertisements with a toll-free number people can call to report situations where they believe people are being sexually exploited or forced to work against their will. Among cities included in the new campaign are Atlanta; Boston; Dallas; Detroit; Los Angeles; Miami; Philadelphia; New-
ark, New Jersey; New Orleans; New York; St. Paul, Minnesota; San Antonio; San Francisco and Tampa, Florida. Bruce Foucart, an ICE special agent in charge of New England, said officials hope the billboards persuade residents to report suspected cases to ICE or local law enforcement. “It’s difficult to identify victims and it’s difficult for them to tell their stories,” said Foucart. About 800,000 men,
women and children are trafficked each year around the world and about 17,500 of them end up in the United States, according to ICE. Immigration officials say the victims are lured from their homes with false promises of well-paying jobs but are trafficked into the commercial sex trade, domestic servitude or forced labor. Foucart said victims who cooperate with law enforcement are offered temporary status and can
later apply to stay in the U.S. permanently. Jozefina Lantz, director of New Americans services at Lutheran Social Services in Worcester, Massachusetts, welcomed the new campaign and said the public is generally unaware that human trafficking is occurring near their homes. “Often the victims get mistaken for undocumented immigrants,” said Lantz. “It’s the not same because these people were abducted from their homes
and forced into trafficking.” Lantz said her group has recently helped trafficking victims from Africa and South America. Contact our CLASSIFIED DEPT. at 436-2810 about a

Military assessed suspected shooter months ago By DEVLIN BARRETT Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON — A Defense Department investigator on a terrorism task force looked into Fort Hood shooting suspect Nidal Hasan’s background months ago, officials said Tuesday — providing fresh evidence the military knew worrisome details about the Army psychiatrist before last week’s deadly rampage. Two officials speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the case on the record said the Washington-based joint terrorism task force overseen by the FBI was notified of communications between Hasan and a radical imam overseas, and the information was turned over to a Defense Criminal Investigative Service employee assigned to the task force. That worker wrote up an assessment of Hasan after reviewing the Army major’s personnel file and the communications. The assessment concluded Hasan did not merit further investigation, in large part because his communications with the imam were centered on a research paper he was writing at the time, and the investigator had concluded Hasan was in fact working on such a paper, the officials said. The disclosure came as questions swirled about
whether opportunities were missed to head off the massacre — 13 dead and 29 wounded — and the FBI launched its own internal review of how it handled the early information about Hasan. Military, law enforcement and intelligence agencies are all defending themselves against tough questions about what each of them knew about Hasan before he allegedly opened fire in a crowded room at the huge military base in Texas. Within hours after the role of the defense investigator on the task force was disclosed, a senior defense official said “based on what we know now, neither the U.S. Army nor any other organization within the Department of Defense knew of Maj. Hasan’s contacts with any Muslim extremists.” This defense official was not authorized to discuss the case on the record and spoke on condition of anonymity. Hasan, awake and talking to doctors, met his lawyer Monday in the San Antonio hospital where he is recovering, under guard, from gunshot wounds in the assault. He has not been formally charged but officials plan to charge him in military court, not a civilian one, a choice that suggests his alleged actions are not thought to have emanated from a terrorist organization. Investigators still believe Hasan acted alone, despite
his communications with Anwar al-Awlaki, an imam released from a Yemeni jail last year who has used his personal Web site to encourage Muslims across the world to kill U.S. troops in Iraq. Despite that, no formal investigation was opened into Hasan, they said. Investigative officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the case on the record. Republican Rep. Pete Hoekstra, the top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, said it was his understanding Hasan and the imam exchanged e-mails that counterterrorism officials picked up. Meanwhile, The Washington Post reported Tuesday that Hasan warned his medical colleagues a year and a half ago that to “decrease adverse events” the U.S. military should allow Muslim soldiers to be released as conscientious objectors instead of fighting in wars against
other Muslims. Hasan made the recommendation in a culminating presentation to senior Army doctors at Walter Reed Medical Center, where he spent six years as an intern, resident and fellow before being transferred to Fort Hood. “It’s getting harder and harder for Muslims in the service to morally justify being in a military that seems constantly engaged against fellow Muslims,” Hasan said in the presentation, a copy of which was obtained by the Post. Authorities revealed the major had once been under scrutiny from a joint terrorism task force because of the series of communications going back months. AlAwlaki is a former imam at a Falls Church, Va., mosque where Hasan and his family occasionally worshipped. In 2001, al-Awlaki, a native-born U.S. citizen, had contact with two of the Sept. 11 hijackers, and on Monday his Web site praised Hasan
as a hero. Military officials were made aware of communications between Hasan and al-Awlaki, but because the messages did not advocate or threaten violence, civilian law enforcement authorities could not take the matter further, the officials said. The terrorism task force concluded Hasan was not involved in terrorist planning. Officials said the content of those messages was “consistent with the subject matter of his research,” part of which involved post-traumatic stress disorder stemming from U.S. combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. A law enforcement official said the communications consisted primarily of Hasan posing questions to the imam as a spiritual leader or adviser, and the imam did respond to at least some of those messages. No formal investigation was ever opened based on the contacts, the officials said.

Kennedy says he’s troubled by bishop’s comments PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — U.S. Rep. Patrick Kennedy says recent comments by Rhode Island’s Roman Catholic bishop questioning the congressman’s faith because of his stance on abortion and health care reform were “very disconcerting.” Kennedy, a Catholic and congressman from Rhode Island, had planned to meet Thursday with Providence Bishop Thomas Tobin to discuss a simmering conflict between them. But the bishop’s office announced that the meeting was postponed indefinitely. Kennedy said Tuesday that the bishop had not kept an agreement not to debate the issue in public in terms of Kennedy’s personal faith. The bishop has questioned publicly whether Kennedy can call himself a Catholic, given that in the health care debate, the congressman initially voted against tighter restrictions on abortion.

Trooper of year charged with drunk driving LIMA, Ohio (AP) — A state trooper in northwest Ohio who was honored by Mothers Against Drunk Driving in 1997 for the number of drunken-driving arrests he made has been charged with drunken driving. A patrol spokesman said Monday that Gerald Gibson had taken leave following his arrest last weekend. Gibson was off duty Sunday when Waynesfield police say he drifted over the center lane and then refused to take a Breathalyzer test. Mothers Against Drunk Driving honored Gibson in 1997 for making the most drunken-driving arrests by a Lima trooper. He was named trooper of the year in 2002 in Lima.

ATHLETES IN PRESSURE SITUATIONS As more people heed the recommendation to exercise more, some have wondered whether physical activity may make glaucoma worse. Glaucoma is a condition that can arise from abnormally high fluid pressure within the eyes. If regular aerobic exercise were to increase intraocular pressure, it could contribute to the progression of glaucoma. To assess this potential threat, researchers examined how pressure in the eyes is affected in athletes, non-athletes, and glaucoma patients who perform aerobic exercise with or without the use of various eye drops prescribed for treating glaucoma. They found that moderate aerobic exercise reduced eye pressure in both healthy individuals and glaucoma patients using anti-glaucoma eye drops. Thus, glaucoma patients should be encouraged to engage in regular, moderate exercise. Using protective eyewear can prevent objects from getting in the eye and loss of sight may be prevented. Regular visits to your ophthalmologist should be as important as regular visits to your family physician. At FOUR COUNTY EYE ASSOCIATES, we will help you acquire an understanding of your particular situation and of your treatment options. Together we can work toward the goal of protecting your sight. We’re located at 451 Ruin Creek Road, Henderson Professional Plaza, Suite 204, where we are dedicated to diagnosing and caring for glaucoma and all disorders of the eye. Please call 492-8021 to schedule an appointment. We stress preventive health care. P.S. The study mentioned above bolsters the findings of previous studies that found that a significant decrease in intraocular pressure had been observed after exercise.

Teammates Jeter, Teixeira win AL Gold Gloves By MIKE FITZPATRICK AP Sports Writer
AP Photo/Reed Saxon
NEW YORK — Derek Jeter sure is stuffing his trophy case this year. The steady Yankees shortstop won his fourth Gold Glove on Tuesday, joining New York first baseman Mark Teixeira among the American League players rewarded for fantastic fielding. “I’ve always taken a great deal of pride in my defense, and being honored with a Gold Glove
is an accomplishment I will never overlook,” Jeter said in a statement. Los Angeles Angels center fielder Torii Hunter and Seattle right fielder Ichiro Suzuki both won for the ninth straight season. First-time winners included Tampa Bay third baseman Evan Longoria, Baltimore outfielder Adam Jones and Chicago White Sox pitcher Mark Buehrle. Minnesota catcher Joe Mauer and Detroit second baseman Placido Polanco each earned
their second award. Rawlings has presented Gold Gloves annually since 1957. Managers and coaches vote on players in their own leagues before the regular season ends, but they may not select members of their own teams. National League winners will be announced Wednesday. It’s been a banner year for Jeter, who combined with Teixeira to help lead the Yankees past Philadelphia last week for the franchise’s 27th World
Series title. In addition to his fifth championship ring, Jeter also took home baseball’s Roberto Clemente Award for excellence on the field and in the community, and his second Hank Aaron Award as the AL’s top hitter. In September, he broke Lou Gehrig’s club record for hits. The Gold Glove is perhaps his most surprising piece of hardware, however. Jeter, who Please see GOLD GLOVES, page 3B

NBA great Abdul-Jabbar has rare form of leukemia By BEN WALKER AP National Writer
NEW YORK — Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is being treated for a rare form of leukemia, and the basketball great said his prognosis is encouraging. The NBA’s all-time leading scorer was diagnosed last December with chronic myeloid leukemia, he told The Associated Press on Monday. The 62-year-old Abdul-Jabbar said his doctor didn’t give any guarantees, but informed him: “You have a very good chance to live your life out and not have to make any drastic changes to your lifestyle.” Abdul-Jabbar is taking an oral medication for the disease. He is a paid spokesman for the Swiss pharmaceutical company Novartis, which makes a drug that treats the illness. Citing the way Los Angeles Lakers teammate Magic Johnson brought awareness to HIV, Abdul-Jabbar said he wants to do the same for his form of blood cancer, which can be fatal if left untreated. “I’ve never been a person to share my private life. But I can help save lives,” he said at a midtown Manhattan conference room. “It’s incumbent on someone like me to talk about this.” Abdul-Jabbar became concerned last year after feeling odd sensations. He went for tests at UCLA, where he dominated college basketball in the late 1960s, winning three straight NCAA championships from 1967-69. “I was getting hot flashes and sweats on a regular basis,” he said. “That’s not normal, Please see ABDUL-JABBAR, page 3B

CHICAGO — Upon further review ... baseball general managers like instant replay the way it is. GMs failed to take a vote Tuesday on expanding instant replay following a postseason filled with blown calls by umpires. “I know there are some who have talked off line about the expansion of instant replay,” said Jimmie Lee Solomon, executive vice president of baseball operations in the commissioner’s office. “Right now, the commissioner doesn’t see any reason to consider it.” Baseball began video review in August 2008 but only to determine whether potential home runs were fair or foul or cleared fences. Any change for 2010 likely would be likely have to be instigated by commissioner Bud Selig, who repeatedly has said he’s against widening the use of video review.

Season of disparity
NFL at midway point: uncertainty everywhere By BARRY WILNER AP Football Writer
NEW YORK — Same old same old in the NFL? Not even close this season. Sure, the Colts ripped through the first half of their schedule for the fourth time in five seasons, and the Patriots are dominating the AFC East. Yes, Adrian Peterson is running away from defenses and the Saints are passing over them. The Steelers are their usual stingy selves and the Lions as incompetent as ever. Still, this has been a year of disparity and uncertainty.
On the field, there are two unbeatens and five clubs with just a single win. Off it, there’s the specter of an uncapped 2010 season, then perhaps no football at all in 2011. And things could get a whole lot more muddled in the near future. “This will be a long process,” commissioner Roger Goodell said of talks with the union for a new collective bargaining agreement. “We are going to move as fast as we can to get an agreement that’s appropriate and as soon as possible. But I’m not working off of any deadlines. The point is to try to get an agreement and do that as soon
as possible.” Neither Goodell nor new NFL Players Association executive director DeMaurice Smith want negotiations to obscure on-field performances. But there have been enough distractions already to fill an entire season: —Rush Limbaugh joining a bid to buy the Rams and then getting cut from the team. —Larry Johnson getting himself released by the Chiefs after using gay slurs to reporters and then on Twitter. —Raiders coach Tom Cable investigated after being accused of hitting and breaking the jaw of an assistant coach,

NFL Panthers promote LB Smith, place Davis on IR CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — The Carolina Panthers have signed linebacker Kelvin Smith off their practice squad and placed linebacker Thomas Davis on seasonending injured reserve. Smith’s promotion Tuesday comes two days after Davis tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee in a loss to New Orleans. Smith was drafted by Miami in the seventh round in 2007. He played in four games as a rookie before spending last season on injured reserve with a knee injury. Smith was waived early in training camp by the New York Giants, then signed by Carolina when Davis was sidelined with a knee injury. The Panthers waived Smith in final cuts before signing him to the practice squad. He’ll provide depth behind Landon Johnson, who is expected to replace Davis in the starting lineup.
College Football Collaros will start, Pike will play for Cinci CINCINNATI (AP) — Quarterback Zach Collaros will start for fifth-ranked Cincinnati against West Virginia on Friday night, with Tony Pike expected to play as well for the first time since he hurt his non-throwing arm. Coach Brian Kelly announced Collaros as his starter Tuesday. The sophomore has started the last three games and kept the Bearcats undefeated. He threw for 480 yards — the second-highest total in school history — during a win over Connecticut on Saturday night. Pike had to have a plate in his left forearm replaced after it was injured Oct. 15. Kelly said the senior quarterback will get into the game against West Virginia. The Bearcats then have a bye, and Pike is expected to start on Nov. 27 against Illinois.
Iowa QB Stanzi doubtful for final two games IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz says junior quarterback Ricky Stanzi has had surgery to repair a severely sprained ankle and is “very doubtful” for Iowa’s final two regular season games. Stanzi injured his right ankle in the second quarter of No. 15 Iowa’s 17-10 loss to Northwestern last weekend and did not return. Ferentz says redshirt freshman James Vandenberg is now the No. 1 quarterback for the Hawkeyes (9-1, 5-1 Big Ten). He will make his first career start Saturday at No. 10 Ohio State (8-2, 5-1). Vandenberg was 9 of 27 passing for 82 yards and an interception against Northwestern. Stanzi started all 10 games this season, throwing for 2,186 yards with 15 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. Ferentz says that he believes Stanzi has a good chance to play in a bowl game.
NBA Cuban ‘not on the prowl’ for Dodgers DALLAS (AP) — Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, who lost in a bid to purchase to the Chicago Cubs, apparently still has some interest in owning a Major League Baseball team. Amid several reports that he’d be interested in buying the Los Angeles Dodgers, who are not for sale, Cuban says “if it’s a perfect deal” he’s interested. The messy divorce of Dodgers owner Frank McCourt and his wife, Jamie, raises questions about the team’s future. But Cuban insisted Tuesday night before the Mavericks’ game against Houston that he’s “not on the prowl” to get a team. “It’s just one more business opportunity,” Cuban said. “If it’s the right deal, I’m going to do it. And if not, I’m not.”

Secondary defenders to get NCAA foul calls By JOHN MARSHALL AP Sports Writer
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The season has just started and already a new rule designed to clarify some of the foul calls has some coaches concerned. The rule, approved by the NCAA in June, requires secondary defenders to establish position outside of the area directly below the rim to draw a charging call. Essentially, if a player is standing in an imaginary circle beneath the rim and makes contact with a shooter, it’s an automatic blocking foul — no matter if the player has position or not. North Carolina coach Roy Williams likes the idea and hopes it will curb some of the violent
collisions under the basket that can lead to injuries. He said his concern is there’s nothing to define the area beneath the rim, forcing officials to make judgment calls on where the player was standing. “The decision to make the imaginary circle underneath the rim, I think that was not the best decision,” Williams said Tuesday during a conference call with NCAA officials. “I think our officials are really going to have a difficult time with that. I would have been in favor of putting down a dotted line, if that’s what we’re going to do.” The rule was put in to stop players from sliding under shooters as they came down after taking a shot. The NBA instituted
a similar rule a few years ago, putting a dotted line on the floor to clearly define whether a defender was under the basket. The NCAA won’t have that, leaving it up to the officials to determine if the defender was in the 18-by-24-inch area while still trying to keep track of everything else that’s going on. “Playing underneath the basket just to draw a foul as a guy’s coming down is not a good play and I understand the reason for it, but I’d like to give the officials a little help and put the dotted line in there like the NBA,” said Williams, whose team opened defense of last year’s national championship Monday night with a 88-72 win over Florida
International. Several other new rules or points of emphasis were put into place to take away some of the rough play that’s become common in college basketball. Officials will pay closer attention to 3-second calls to eliminate some of the wrestling matches underneath the basket, and have been instructed to call fouls if a player’s balance, rhythm, speed or quickness is impeded, not just if it provides an advantage. Officials also will be allowed to use replay to determine flagrant fouls. Even if a foul isn’t considered flagrant, they’re being encouraged to call intentional or technical fouls instead of downgrading to a regular foul.
Appeals court agrees Vick can keep $16M in bonuses By STEVE KARNOWSKI Associated Press Writer
MINNEAPOLIS — A federal appeals court on Tuesday backed the judge who ruled against the NFL and let quarterback Michael Vick keep more than $16 million in roster bonuses from the Atlanta Falcons. The 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday affirmed Judge David Doty’s order saying Vick had already earned
the bonuses before his dogfighting conviction, so the money wasn’t subject to forfeiture. Vick served 18 months in prison and is now with the Philadelphia Eagles. Doty has long handled matters arising from the NFL’s collective bargaining agreement. After Doty ruled in the Vick bonus case, the NFL accused him of bias and sought to end his oversight of its contract with the players union.
The appeals court said the contract should remain under Doty’s oversight. NFL spokesman Greg Aiello did not say whether the league planned a further appeal, but he said the 8th Circuit upheld Doty’s ruling on Vick’s bonuses in large part because it found the contract’s forfeiture language ambiguous. “That is something that we will seek to change at the bargaining table to ensure that bonus pay-
ments are paid to players who comply with their contracts and perform on the field,” Aiello said. Vick, a former Atlanta Falcons star, was released from federal custody July 20 after serving 18 months of a 23-month sentence for running a dogfighting ring in Surry County, Va. The Eagles signed Vick to a $1.6 million contract for 2009, with a team option for the second year at $5.2 million, but he has not played much.
Tomlin won’t discuss released Larry Johnson By ALAN ROBINSON AP Sports Writer
PITTSBURGH — Steelers coach Mike Tomlin isn’t saying if the team has any interest in Larry Johnson, the former Penn State running back who was released by the Kansas City Chiefs. Still, the Steelers’ answer appears to be the same as it was in 2003: Johnson isn’t in their plans. Johnson, who has long wanted to play in Pittsburgh, was cut Monday after being suspended by Kansas City for the second time in a year. The Steelers have long stayed away
from signing troubled players, and they appear to be set at running back with starter Rashard Mendenhall and backup Willie Parker. “I don’t discuss free agents,” Tomlin said Tuesday, only a few hours after the Steelers returned from their 28-10 victory in Denver on Tomlin Monday night. “That opens Pandora’s box. I tend to focus on the guys that are in our locker room.” Tomlin made similar
comments when quarterback Michael Vick was on the market last summer. The Steelers had no interest in Vick. The Chiefs cut Johnson — who was 75 yards short of breaking the team rushing record — two weeks after he posted a gay slur on Twitter, insulted fans and questioned the competence of coach Todd Haley. Haley’s father, Dick, once was a Steelers executive. Johnson was benched for three consecutive games last season for violating team rules and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell suspended him a fourth game for violating the league’s player-con-
duct policy. Johnson believed he was going to be drafted by Pittsburgh in 2003, but the Steelers traded with Kansas City to move up in the first round and take safety Troy Polamalu. Kansas City chose Johnson with the pick that was to have been Pittsburgh’s, with the running back clearly upset he didn’t go to the Steelers. Johnson was an allstate running back at State College (Pa.) High, which is located 135 miles from Pittsburgh. He stayed at home to play for Penn State, where he gained 2,087 yards in 2002.
Wallace entered the night as the NBA’s top rebounder and had 13 points and nine rebounds. But he was 5 of 12 from the field, missed two dunks, and bemoaned Charlotte’s tendency to settle for jump shots. “Then when we decide to go to the rim, that’s why we don’t get any calls,” Wallace said. “Referees see us as a jump-shooting team, so when you go to the rim, they’re not going to call anything.” Howard, fined $15,000 before the game for criticizing the officials on his
blog after a Nov. 3 loss at Detroit, added six assists one night before his matchup with Shaquille O’Neal. But Carter will help, too. He was watching as a fan when the Magic knocked off the Cavaliers to reach the finals. “Now I step right into it,” Carter said. “I’m excited.” Only this time, Carter doesn’t think Van Gundy will go along with him coming off the bench. “I think he’ll tell me to shut up tomorrow,” Carter said. “He’s done it before.”
BOBCATS, from page 1B Carter checked in to start the second quarter. He missed a 3-pointer on his first touch, but later hit three 3s, the last giving Orlando a 52-33 lead. He finished 5 of 16 from the field, but provided an option missing when the Magic lost by 28 to Oklahoma City on Sunday. “I got here and I was doing the (scouting) board and Vince came in and said he was going to give it a shot,” Van Gundy said. “I was totally surprised.” Raymond Felton had 18 points and Boris Diaw added 14 for Charlotte, which cut a 22-point firsthalf deficit to six early in the fourth quarter but could get no closer in its second straight loss — and its first at home after a franchise-best 3-0 start. “We gave up 22 points on turnovers,” coach Larry Brown said. “We were just careless.” After Flip Murray’s driving layup cut Orlando’s lead to 81-75, Marcin Gortat had a three-point play and Matt Barnes hit a fadeaway in a 7-0 run for
the Magic. Carter hit two free throws with 3 minutes left to give Orlando a 9179 lead. The Magic didn’t need Carter in the first quarter, with Bass 6-for-6 from the field and Orlando shooting 70 percent. Charlotte, the NBA’s lowest scoring team, was dysfunctional on offense as the Magic built a 35-23 lead. “We weren’t playing defense, we weren’t guarding anybody,” forward Gerald Wallace said. “It doesn’t help that they’re knocking down shots.” The Bobcats couldn’t keep big men on the court to guard Howard. Starting center Tyson Chandler picked up two fouls in 3 minutes and sat out the rest of the first half. Backup Nazr Mohammed had three fouls in 6 minutes, and DeSagana Diop entered only to commit turnovers on consecutive possessions. The Bobcats weren’t helped by their 2-of-17 shooting from 3-point range and Wallace’s continued shooting woes.

GOLD GLOVES, from page 1B turned 35 in June, enjoyed one of his best defensive seasons after years of criticism for a lack of range. A 10-time All-Star, Jeter won three consecutive Gold Gloves from 2004-06. But detractors pointed to modern fielding stats that indicated his defense didn’t warrant such accolades. They said it was his bat that brought on the attention — and the New York spotlight. This season, Jeter made a career-low eight errors and matched his personal best with a .986 fielding percentage, both ranking at the top of the AL charts. He anchored an outstanding Yankees infield as New York set a major league record by going 18 games without an error from May 14 to June 1. “Playing championshipcaliber baseball starts with pitching and defense, and I think those two components were certainly the foundation for our success in 2009,” said Jeter, who made 56 errors as a 19-year-old at Class-A Greensboro in 1993. Teixeira played a big
part in New York’s title, too. In his first season with the Yankees after signing a $180 million, eight-year contract, Teixeira impressed with his reliable glove as well as his powerful bat. He saved runs with diving stops, nimble stretches and tough scoops. Teammates and opponents alike pointed to his substantial effect on the club’s overall defense. A Gold Glove winner in 2005 and ’06 with Texas, Teixeira committed just four errors this year and had a .997 fielding percentage. “Solid defense is the most underrated component of winning baseball, but it is something I have always taken pride in,” Teixeira said. “Winning a third Gold Glove means a lot to me, especially when good defense helped our entire team reach the ultimate goal of a world championship.” Mauer, a top contender for AL MVP, won his second consecutive Gold Glove after leading the Twins on a late charge

ABDUL-JABBAR, from page 1B into the playoffs. Longoria, last year’s AL Rookie of the Year, unseated Seattle’s Adrian Beltre at third base. Beltre, hampered by injuries this season, won the previous two years after a six-year run by Oakland’s Eric Chavez. “It’s the one award that I’ve wanted to win since I started pro ball,” Longoria said in a statement. “I take a lot of pride in my defense, so this award is very special to me. It’s humbling to have your name associated with some of the great players who have won a Gold Glove, especially the third basemen.” In addition to the voters, Longoria thanked teammate Carlos Pena, last season’s Gold Glove winner at first base. “We all know how good he is. He probably saved me at least five errors this year, so without him the award might not have been possible,” Longoria said. Buehrle pitched a perfect game against Tampa Bay on July 23. But when
he allows runners, he’s particularly effective at holding them on. The left-hander yielded only four stolen bases in eight tries this season and picked off eight runners. The only pitcher with more pickoffs was former teammate Clayton Richard, who had nine, according to STATS LLC. Chicago traded Richard to San Diego on July 31 in a package for ace Jake Peavy. “Hopefully, I earned it this year,” Buehrle said. Polanco, who has filed for free agency, committed two errors all season. He also won in 2007 — without making an error — before losing out last year to Boston’s Dustin Pedroia. With nine Gold Gloves apiece, Hunter and Suzuki are one shy of the AL record for outfielders, shared by Ken Griffey Jr. and Hall of Famer Al Kaline. Hunter receives a $100,000 bonus for winning the Gold Glove, while Suzuki gets $50,000. Buehrle, Longoria, Mauer and Polanco each earned $25,000.
even for my age.” An exam showed his white blood cell count was “sky high” and a doctor quickly diagnosed his condition. At first, all Abdul-Jabbar heard was the word “leukemia.” “I was scared,” he said. “I thought it was all the same. I thought it could mean I have a month to live.” “That was my first question,” he said. “Was I going to make it?” A longtime student in martial arts, AbdulJabbar said he took the approach of a samurai, to face death without fear. “I had my face on,” he said. Instead, doctors told him CML was treatable with proper medication and monitoring. Abdul-Jabbar is a special assistant with the Lakers and said he hasn’t had to cut back his level of activity of coaching, change his regimen or adjust his diet. “I’m able to sneak out for Thai food,” he said. “There is hope. This condition can be treated.
You can still live a productive, full life,” he said. “I’m living proof I can make it.” Abdul-Jabbar recently returned from an academic conference in Abu Dhabi and has several speaking engagements planned. Among the people he regularly talks to about his condition is his son, a third-year medical student at the University of California, San Francisco. The six-time NBA MVP intends to post updates to his Facebook and Twitter accounts and stay connected through www. CMLearth.com, a Web site for those afflicted by the disease. About 5,000 cases of CML are expected to be diagnosed in the United States this year, the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society said. More than 22,000 people are living in the US with the disease. The disease tends to initially be diagnosed by people in their mid-to-late 60s, and usually affects men more than women. “I want to spread the word,” Abdul-Jabbar said.
tunities to market themselves, and they’ve earned that,” Reagins said. “And we’re hopeful that we can come to an agreement at some point. Right now it remains to be seen.” Holliday, acquired by St. Louis from Oakland in July, figures to get among the largest contracts of the offseason. The 2007 NL batting champion is represented by agent Scott Boras. “There’s no doubt there will be a significant financial commitment with regards to Holliday, and at some point if we feel we’re not getting to a successful conclusion of that, then we would start to decide how we would redeploy those resources,” Cardinals GM
John Mozeliak said. “I haven’t spoken with Scott for some time. I’m hopeful that before I leave here we will have a face-to-face.” Boras, who was at the hotel to meet with some GMs, drew a parallel between Holliday, who turns 30 in January, and another of his clients, the Yankees’ Mark Teixeira. Boras negotiated a $180 million, eight-year deal for Teixeira. “Last year we had one club that went out and made a commitment to a franchise player and they won a world championship,” Boras said. “I think a Matt Holliday is another player like that in this marketplace. You have a franchise player at a
young age and you have a chance to really differentiate yourself as a franchise from all others. And we’ll see how many teams are really going to be involved in that.” Red Sox general manager Theo Epstein hopes to re-sign Bay, a three-time All-Star obtained from Pittsburgh at the trade deadline in July 2008. “We’d love to have him back under the right circumstances and he’s certainly open-minded to returning to Boston, it’s just a process that has to play itself out,” Epstein said. “He’s never been a free agent before. He’s got the ability and a right to see what other teams have to offer.”

NFL, from page 1B Pat and Kevin Williams got drug-related suspensions delayed in a Minnesota court. Goodell and Smith testified before congressional committees looking into those issues. Those headlines haven’t quite eclipsed the actual game action in a half-season during which the NFL welcomed back Tom Brady, who’s beginning to look like his superstar self, and saw Michael Vick return to lots of attention but a virtual non-role in Philadelphia. Brett Favre’s flirtation with the Vikings reached fruition when he unretired for the second straight year, and now he has Minnesota leading the NFC North at 7-1. Favre’s return to Lambeau Field earlier this month to play the Packers was hyped like a Super Bowl, and the 40-year-old quarterback responded with four touchdown passes in a win. New Orleans and Indy are 8-0, and both will need to get by the Patriots — who are eager to protect their unprecedented 16-0 regular season mark in 2007 — to remain unbeaten. The Colts host the Patriots on Sunday night, and the high-scoring Saints get their chance on Nov. 30. Both are prime-time matchups that can only further boost the league’s strong TV ratings. “Every one of the teams we play from here on out has us marked with a big star,” Saints quarterback Drew Brees said. “We understand what’s at stake here and obviously the opportunity we have just doesn’t come along all that often. So would we like to win them all? Absolutely, but you can never look too far ahead. It’s all about the next game.”
Even if, at times, that next game is merely a walkover. Consider that the Saints are on a record scoring pace with 303 points at the halfway mark. They still have St. Louis, Tampa Bay (twice), Washington and Carolina on the schedule, opponents with a combined 7-25 record. Those tailenders, along with Oakland, Cleveland, Kansas City, and Washington, generally have established a new nadir for ineptitude. Parity? Pfft. There has been such a gap between the haves and have-no-shots this season that no Brady to Randy Moss rockets could bridge it. As some of the awful teams fall deeper into the dysfunctional abyss, repeats of New England’s 59-0 romp past Tennessee — the league’s most puzzling team, going from 13-0 last year to 0-6 this season before two recent wins — might become commonplace. Matchups between contenders and failures could get even uglier. Sure, there have been aberrations (Oakland over Philadelphia, Tampa Bay over Green Bay), but they have been few and far between. The “any given Sunday” theme has been displaced in 2009 by “ain’t got a chance Sundays” for nearly three months. Has that had an effect at the stadiums? Attendance declined 2.4 percent through eight weeks, modest compared to some other sports, and the weak economy likely is more to blame than any other factors. Television ratings, meanwhile, have soared. Through two months of the schedule, the average audience was up 15 percent from last season, the big-
gest one-year increase of the last two decades. NFL games were watched by an average of 17.2 million viewers through eight weeks, the highest total since 1989. In some cities, however, blackouts once more became a dark topic. Jacksonville hasn’t come close to a sellout for its four home games, and won’t likely approach one the rest of the way. There have been just nine blackouts overall through nine weeks, and with so many teams struggling, filling stadiums could become impossible in a halfdozen other places. Those generally are the teams that can’t score. Cleveland and St. Louis, both 1-7, have scored 155 points combined. Twentyone clubs have scored more than 155. Throw in Oakland and its 78 points and the Raiders, Browns and Rams have 233, 11 fewer than the Vikings and 70 less than the Saints.

Davidson prepares for life after Stephen Curry
Tar Heels to face NCCU tonight
By MIKE CRANSTON AP Sports Writer
DAVIDSON — Davidson coach Bob McKillop, upset with his team’s defense, halted practice and brought his players together. He then reeled off the names of the three starters from last season no longer on the roster — mentioning Stephen Curry last. “We’ve got to be perfect,” McKillop yelled, “We’ve got to be a team.” Above him was the banner proclaiming “NCAA Tournament Elite 8 2008,” the dominant symbol of a storybook three-year run that ended steps away in a conference room in April when the dynamic Curry announced he was leaving for the NBA. With Curry taking his limitless range and smooth jump shot across the country to Golden State, a collection of players lacking experience or trying to overcome flaws must be nearly perfect to duplicate the success their superstar and buddy brought to this tiny liberal arts school. “It’s like having a Broadway show and actors are now being challenged with playing different roles,” McKillop said. “Our leading singer, our leading dancer, our leading dramatic presenter is gone.” Curry, the skinny, lightly recruited local kid with the NBA pedigree made it feel like the 1960s again for this town 20 miles north of Charlotte. Bringing this Southern Conference school success not seen since Lefty Driesell was pacing the side-

CHAPEL HILL — The two biggest question marks facing the frontcourt-heavy North Carolina basketball team entering this season were its guard play and perimeter shooting. And heading into the second game, those questions still remain. UNC hosts N.C. Central tonight (9 p.m., ESNPU) in its final home game of the 2K Sports Classic benefitting Coaches vs. Cancer. Tonight’s game also marks NCCU’s seasonopener and the debut of first-year coach LeVelle Moton. While No. 6 UNC isn’t expected to have much trouble against NCCU, which finished 4-27 in the 2008-09, the game will allow the Tar Heels’ young backcourt and perimeter to get some more experience before travelling to Madison Square Garden next week to face Ohio State and either Syracuse or Cal in the Championship Rounds of the Coaches vs. Cancer tournament. "You always have to have a complete allaround game," UNC’s Will Graves said. "We can go inside all we want to, but they’re going to start doubleteaming and then we’re going to have open shots

Graves got the start on the perimeter in the win over FIU on Monday and lasted longer than the 2:11 in the exhibition win over Belmont Abbey. The junior recorded six points and six rebounds in 17 minutes — the lowest amount of playing time among the starters — and finished 0-of-3 from beyond the arc. Freshmen John Henson and twins David and Travis Wear also saw time on the perimeter, but none made a 3-pointer. The Tar Heels finished 4-of-13 on 3-point attempts against FIU, and Williams said the 12 attempts in the first half were too many. "We’ve always been a team that does a great job at the free-throw line more than the other team," Williams said.

Davidson coach Bob McKillop reacts to a call, during the first half of an NIT tournament game against South Carolina on March 17. With Stephen Curry having left for the NBA, a tight-knit Davidson community awaits a season without its biggest star in perhaps the biggest challenge for longtime coach McKillop. lines, Curry led Davidson to a 85-20 mark in three years, including a remarkable run in 2008 that ended a missed 3-pointer shy of the Final Four and perhaps forever changed this school. “Just being on that stage and being on the map, everybody knows where Davidson is, who they are and what they’re about,” Curry said this week. “It does a lot for the program.” Only now the leading scorer in school history is gone, leaving McKillop with perhaps the biggest challenge in his 21 seasons here. Seniors Will Archambault (8.3 points), Bryant Barr (7.1) and Steve Rossiter (6.1) are Davidson’s

top three returning scorers. McKillop’s son, Brendan, is expected to become the full-time point guard. A collection of freshmen, led by big man Jake Cohen, are going to have to contribute immediately. And the schedule isn’t kind. The season opener is Saturday at No. 11 Butler. “We don’t have the luxury of replacing an NBA first-round pick with another guy who has the potential to be a first-round pick in the NBA,” McKillop said. “The (Bowl Championship Series) schools do have that luxury. “You look at what Davidson has to face in terms of holding its head above water and you can look at so many other parallel midmajor programs who have fought to do the same thing. It’s not easy.” McKillop listed Xavier, Gonzaga, Butler, Southern Illinois and Creighton as schools from the lower leagues who have been able to sustain the success Davidson achieved with their baby-faced star, who’s still getting a lot of attention. “I’ve been watching him online,” Archambault said of Curry. “It’s pretty nice to see one of your friends playing on an NBA team.” Before the No. 7 overall pick began his pro career, he sent out more than 2,000 postcards to folks in the Davidson community and took out a half-page advertisement in the school newspaper. It included a three-paragraph thank you addressed to the “Davidson Family” in which he vowed to “always represent Davidson to the
best of my ability” and to work toward completing his degree. “I’m hoping they’re going to follow me as I follow my school,” Curry said. “Just a nice touch to keep them in the loop.” He’d also like to see Davidson stay in the national conversation. Most of the fans are sticking around, with a school spokesman saying about 80 percent of last season’s record 4,000 season tickets have been renewed. But many think Davidson’s run is about to end. The Wildcats were picked to finish third behind College of Charleston and Wofford in the SoCon’s six-team South Division despite going 62-4 in the league in the past three years. With Curry, Davidson was referred to often as one-man show. Without him, the Wildcats will need almost everybody on the roster to contribute to avoid a steep fall. It’s a tall task, but they’ll at least have one big fan in a Warriors uniform. “In the future when coach goes out recruiting he doesn’t have to go through, ’Oh, we’re a small school outside of Charlotte, we’re pretty competitive,’ and all that,” Curry said. “People know where Davidson is and hopefully they’ll see what kind of a great school it is, what kind of a great coach that coach McKillop is and keep getting great players.” ——— AP Freelance Writer Michael Wagaman in Oakland, Calif., contributed to this report.

Today’s answer
HOROSCOPES ARIES (March 21-April 19). Opportunity’s finger is pointing at you and beckoning. You already looked over your shoulder to see if it meant someone else. It didn’t. Now step up and take what’s yours. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). A snort turns into a chuckle turns into a roar of hilarity. When it comes to spreading joy, start small and don’t be surprised if, by the end of the day, you get the whole world laughing. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Intentions are powerful. You can tell when someone really means well, even if they muddle up in some way. While you might be confused by someone on a conscious level, your inner mind will get the true message. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Changes will be suggested to you. It’s only one person’s opinion. When you have a routine as effective as yours, you are right to think twice before switching it up. Stick with what has been working. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). No one asked you if you could take on an extra responsibility, it just has a way of finding you. You are wise enough to see the compliment implied. Tonight, take time to rewind and reflect. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You and your best bud have a friendship worthy of envy. You know everything about each other and trust one another implicitly. You’ll now revel in the benefits of this rare and sublime relationship.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). While others dwell on the negative events that are happening in the world and express their anger at the state of things, less than half of you is really listening. You already have one foot in your joyous and ever expanding future. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll be elevated to higher levels of happiness when you commit your whole self to all you do. Whether you are involved in glamorous and dramatic efforts or mundane tasks, get into it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You have a tendency to attach yourself to the future and live there in your mind. But all the fun is in the present today. Be aware of those playful people around you. Seize the opportunity for exciting interaction. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). If life were a video game and you were a Super Mario character, you would be Mario himself: quick reflexes, good stamina, fantastic style. You are well-rounded and well-liked. Play on! AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). A friendly episode of light chatter with the right person is like getting an emotional backrub. And you are due for one of these conversational massages. Take that friend out to coffee. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). A heavy situation is going down, and you might be witness to it. Take this as a cue to do a personal inventory. Tonight brings an escape. Your favorite TV show can be counted on for some spirited diversion.
