‘It was Kelly’s time’ By WILLIAM F. WEST Daily Dispatch Writer
BUTNER — Hundreds gathered Saturday afternoon at Bible Baptist Church for a memorial service in memory of slain Granville County woman Kelly Currin Morris. “It was Kelly’s time,” the Rev. Keith Williams said of the mother of two girls. Regardless of one’s age, when the time comes, “God will call us home,” Williams said. And Williams said his question is, “Where will you go when it is your time?” The most important thing people can do in this life is make preparations with Jesus Christ, Williams said. Morris disappeared on Sept. 3, 2008. The next day, her residence at 3220 Tump Wilkins Road was on fire and her 2005 Honda Accord was
Ren Wiles comes to city after post in Knightdale By WILLIAM F. WEST Daily Dispatch Writer

Creedmoor’s new finance director reports Tuesday

Moss noted the city’s private engineer, Dan Boone, in giving a presentation to the City Commission this past Tuesday evening, told of smoke testing of the sewer pipes for inflow and infiltration problems. And 30 percent of what Creedmoor pays is to process rainwater, Moss said. “That is a huge part of our problem,” Moss said. Creedmoor’s sewer is processed by the neighboring Butner-based South Granville Water and Sewer Authority (SGWASA). As for the bookkeeping at Creedmoor City Hall, Moss said the decision was made approximately 2 1/2 months ago to hire a finance director and after discussions with the state Local Government Commission (LGC), with the subject of the separation of duties having again come up. The LGC is staffed by the state treasurer’s office and has helped cities with their finances since the Depression. Creedmoor’s tribulations surfaced in July 2007 after the retirement of Eleanor Fowler as Creedmoor’s longtime finance director and after Fowler’s successor, Lenessa Hawkins, began uncovering numerous problems with the records. Mayor Pro Tem Tim Karan led a unanimous commission vote for an investigation after the city had to pay the state more than $153,000 for failing to Please see CREEDMOOR, page 10A
R U driving? N.C. texting ban starts Dec. 1 RALEIGH (AP) — Starting soon, North Carolina drivers who text behind the wheel will need to pull over to avoid fines. The state’s ban on sending text messages while driving goes into effect Dec. 1. Violations could cost drivers $100 in fines. The new law makes it illegal to text or read any e-mail or text message while driving, and fines are higher for school bus drivers caught in the act. But the law only applies to the driver while the vehicle is moving, not when Daily Dispatch/ASHLEY STEVEN AYSCUE it’s stopped or parked.

Sam Moss Hayes Road. The next evening, Scott Morris was booked for first-degree murder and burning a dwelling house. During the memorial service, Williams said, “We come to weep, we come to feel one another’s pain and we wonder in anguish about what has taken place. “We do not come this afternoon with easy answers for all the questions that we may have,” Williams said. “This is tough. We’re stunned. We’re heartbroken. We find ourselves hurting and we simply don’t understand the whys and how that all has happened to us and to this precious family,” Williams said. “Some of you come this afternoon searching for answers. And it’s only normal for us to wonder how things happen when a tragedy strikes and why they happen the way they do,” Williams said. Williams preached about the death of Lazarus and the two sisters of Lazarus telling Jesus — who had arrived four days after the death of Lazarus — that Lazarus would not have died if Jesus had been present sooner. Williams said, “I’m sure that many of you this afternoon have the ‘If’ questions as well. If only I had spent more time with Kelly. If only I had been

If only I had done this or that, the tragedy may not have happened.” And Williams said such questions are normal for a family and for close friends to ask. Williams advised: “Don’t beat up on yourself too badly. Don’t blame yourself for what someone else obviously did.” And Williams encouraged the audience to hold onto their beautiful memories of Kelly Currin Morris. Williams told of the sadness that he began to feel after the funeral of his mother a few years ago, but that he began to recall things they had done together that made him smile. “So, family and friends,

I encourage you: When the sad times come for you when you remember Kelly, force yourself to think about the times of joy and happiness and the good times where you laughed and shared together and had a good time. It’ll see you through those dark hours,” Williams said. After the service, Kelly Currin Morris’ family formed a receiving line to accept condolences from the audience through the late afternoon. And a video of numerous still photographs of Kelly Currin Morris were projected onto a large screen. “I thought it was beautiful,” Lauren Rene, executive director of Families Living Violence Free, said of the service. Rene, when asked about her thoughts when she saw and embraced Kelly Currin Morris’ family, said, “Heartfelt prayers are out for them.” “I thought it was beautiful, but I thought it was sad, too,” Frances Puckett, of Oxford and a relative of Kelly Currin Morris, said of the service. Puckett said the service brought back memories of a son who was killed. Dana McKeithan, of Butner, said she believed the service brought some closure to the life of Kelly Currin Morris. “And it also shows the support that our community here in Granville gives

to one when there is loss. And so we say today, to other communities as well: Come together as we have, not in a tragic time, but each and every day,” said McKeithan, a community support specialist with Triumph LLC in Henderson. Scott Morris, 35, who remains jailed without bond, is scheduled to be in court on Wednesday. The first SBI documents in the case began to be made public in late September 2008 and they showed statements by Scott Morris about the vanishing of Kelly Currin Morris were inconsistent. The SBI in documents additionally said that Scott Morris and Kelly Currin Morris had marital problems and that sources specifically said the couple had separated before and had discussed divorcing. Kelly Currin Morris was 28 when authorities said she was missing. She had one daughter by another man and one daughter by Scott Morris. Senior District Judge Daniel Finch has temporarily granted custody of Kelly Currin Morris’ and Scott Morris’ daughter to Kelly Currin Morris’ father, Pat Currin, and stepmother, Juanita Currin. Another hearing in the matter is scheduled for Jan. 7.

COFFEY, from page one council went into closed session, she had been approached by two persons. Evans said the two wanted to know whether the council’s policy allowed anyone who had not been installed as a council member to go into a closed session. Zollicoffer said he believed city staff and an elected official could go into a closed session under certain circumstances, with Zollicoffer noting staff had been present for Monday evening’s closed session. “What kind of circumstances?” Evans asked. Evans noted Alston not having been present, but noted she was in agreement with letting Coffey be present for Monday evening’s closed session. Zollicoffer said he did not believe it made any difference whether Alston was present. “I think we have the right to have an elected official come in if it’s something they will be discussing later on,” Zollicoffer said. Evans wanted to know whether this applies even when a council member has not been sworn in. “I think that it should be permitted,” Zollicoffer said. “Now, I haven’t done any research on it, I’ll be frank with you.” “Okay, that’s fine with me,” Evans said.
“But, they will be involved in the issues we discussed,” Zollicoffer added. City Councilman Garry Daeke noted those present for Monday evening’s closed session are sworn to secrecy and City Councilman Michael Inscoe noted there was no objection by

Black Friday spending up slightly By ASHLEY M. HEHER AP Retail Writer
CHICAGO — Shoppers spent only slightly more in stores this Black Friday than they did last year, according to data released Saturday by a national research firm. Preliminary sales data from ShopperTrak RCT Corp. show shoppers spent $10.66 billion when they hit the malls on the day after Thanksgiving — only 0.5 percent more than last year. At the same time, other research showed fresh signs of much stronger online sales during the traditional start of the holiday shopping season, which may mean more consumers shopped from home. Still, more than a year after the economy’s collapse began rattling shoppers, industry observers said Friday’s shopping sprees offered a strong start to the holiday season as large crowds of shoppers snatched up early morning deals. The traditional shopping spree — dubbed Black Friday because it often was the day when a surge of shoppers helped stores break into profitability for the full year — has marked the kickoff of holiday shopping for many consumers. But its importance has faded in recent years as merchants started hawking the deep sales and expanded

This Nov. 27 photo shows crowds shopping at Best Buy in Las Cruces, N.M. A research firm report Saturday says shoppers spent only slightly more than they did last year. hours usually reserved for that day well in advance. Still, the day is often used as an important barometer of people’s willingness to spend during the holidays — vital weeks for merchants nationwide. This year, many of the in-store deals were also available online,
causing some Web sites to overload as pajama-clad shoppers tried to get deals without waiting in long lines in the cold. Web marketing analyst Coremetrics said its data showed the average amount online shoppers spent on Black Friday rose 35 percent as shoppers spent roughly $170.19 per order — up from $126.04 last year. The San Mateo, Calif. company also said Web shoppers also bought more items with each purchase. Shop-by-television sales were also strong at the TV shopping network QVC, which said its Black Friday sales totaled $32 million — up almost 60 percent from last year, thanks to its first-ever push to promote its postThanksgiving deals. Executives at J.C. Penney Co. said Saturday that their day after Thanksgiving business in stores was “strong” nationwide as shoppers snatched up doorbusters. However, officials at the department store chain, which did not provide specific data about this year’s business compared with last year, also cautioned that one weekend’s performance wasn’t enough to predict how the rest of the holiday season would fare. Saturday’s in-store figures were compiled by ShopperTrak RCT Corp., a Chicago research firm that tracks sales at more than 50,000 stores.

Relative sought in Fla. Thanksgiving killings By TRAVIS REED Associated Press Writer
AP Photo/Lisa Poole
Text-a-Tip
In this Oct. 27 photo, officer Michael Charbonnier, of the Boston Police Department’s Crime Stoppers Unit, takes down information during a phone call to the Crime Stoppers Unit at a police station in Boston. Police across the country are getting help from text-a-tip programs that allow people to send anonymous messages from their cell phones. The system has enabled investigators to get information from witnesses too afraid to come forward because of an anti-snitching culture. Boston police have received more than 1,000 tips since the program began two years ago. In Douglas County, Colo., authorities foiled a Columbine-style attack after an anonymous text led them to weapons in a student’s home.

No other vehicles were involved. “It appears the tire blew out and the driver overcorrected,” said Trooper Russell Graham. Only the driver, who was killed, and a frontseat passenger appear to have been wearing seatbelts, Cain said. “The Louisiana Legislature just passed a law making it mandatory to wear seatbelts in both the front and back seats,” Graham said. “This is a good illustration of why they did.”
The 10 survivors were in critical condition Saturday afternoon at two Baton Rouge hospitals,
Graham said.The driver of the truck managed to steer to the side of the road and was not injured.

Authorities in Michigan, including the Birmingham Police Department, were alerted of the search because Merhige had sought help from a Detroit-area physician in the past year, Jupiter Police Sgt. Scott Pascarella said. He did not know why Merhige had contacted a physician there.

News Briefs Kennedy to speak on health care after church feud PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Congressman Patrick Kennedy is to make his first public appearance since heightening a feud with Rhode Island’s Roman Catholic bishop over abortion. The Democratic lawmaker plans to speak Monday at Brown University about the politics of health care reform, a subject that set Kennedy off his feud with Bishop Thomas Tobin. The men have clashed for weeks over publicly financed abortion in legislation overhauling the nation’s health care system. A week ago, Kennedy told The Providence Journal that Tobin banned him from receiving Holy Communion because of his support for abortion rights. He didn’t explain when Tobin issued those instructions. Tobin said he wrote Kennedy in 2007 and requested that Kennedy not receive Communion. The Catholic Church considers abortion a major moral evil.
Last planes leave closing Navy base in Maine BRUNSWICK, Maine (AP) — The two last planes at Maine’s Brunswick Naval Air Station have lifted off in blustery winds, ending nearly 60 years of maritime patrol operations at New England’s last active-duty military air base. The P-3 Orions lumbered down an 8,000-foot runway
Saturday afternoon before heading off toward a sixmonth deployment in Central America. After that, they fly to their new home at Florida’s Jacksonville Naval Air Station. Brunswick was once home to 4,000 sailors and six patrol squadrons, but now has a skeleton crew. Its two runways are scheduled to close in January and personnel will continue to leave the base until it closes for good in May 2011. The decision to shutter the base was made in the final round of closings by the Base Closure and Realignment Commission in 2005.
Nine injured during fireworks mishap near Pittsburgh PITTSBURGH (AP) — Part of a fireworks display in suburban Pittsburgh misfired into a group of onlookers and exploded, slightly injuring nine people. The mishap occurred in Etna on Friday night as the town held its annual holiday celebration. Etna Fire Chief Greg Porter says the minor injuries included burns from the misfired fireworks and bumps and bruises caused when people panicked and tried to evacuate the scene. Porter says a group of 150 to 200 people were standing about 400 feet away from where the pyrotechnics were being launched. He says it appears that several launching tubes tipped over after being lit, firing rounds into the crowd. The fireworks display was then halted. A planned community bonfire was also canceled and the crowd was sent home.
Wisconsin police report four shot in Madison duplex MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Four people, including two children, were injured early Saturday morning in what police described as a domestic shooting in a Madison duplex. A 42-year-old woman, 38-year-old man, 7-year-oldboy and 8-year-old girl were taken to a local hospital with gunshot wounds, Sgt. Phil Moore said. He could not provide many details. The victims were coming out of surgery midday Saturday, and some had stabilized, he said. Police were waiting to speak to them later Saturday afternoon. All lived in the duplex, but Moore didn’t elaborate on their relationships. One victim ran across the street and called police about 6:20 a.m., he said. By 11 a.m., crime scene tape surrounded the single-story, A-frame duplex as officers went in and out of the home. Police recovered “all the weapons involved,” including at least one firearm, Moore said. Sgt. John Rife said everyone involved has been identified, and there’s no threat to the community. He would not elaborate.
Domestic abuse cases proceed — even without victim NEW YORK (AP) — Domestic violence experts say that most victims usually recant after reporting their partners committed the abuse. As a result, the majority of domestic violence cases nationwide are prosecuted without the victim’s consent or participation. Prosecutors have to devise other ways to handle
VANCE FURNITURE COmpANy INC. Since 1941
cases. One way is to used 911 calls and photos of the abuse instead of testimony. Another way is through family justice centers, onestop shopping for victims of domestic violence, where they can find social, economic and legal support. There are two centers in New York and a third is opening in six months. Tens of thousands of clients visit annually. Anyone can use the services, which are free. There are 55 centers around the country and some in other countries.
76-year old accused of killing son on Thanksgiving COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — A dispute over chores on the Thanksgiving holiday turned deadly when police say a 76-year-old man shot and killed his son after the two argued for most of the day. The Gazette of Colorado Springs reports that Ayalis Clay Oliver is being held without bond in the El Paso County jail. He’s accused of shooting his 49-year-old son, Keith Oliver, on Thursday. The older Oliver told police that he and his son had been arguing for hours when the victim’s mother
asked her son to leave. When he refused, the arrest affidavit says the father went upstairs, retrieved a .357-calber revolver and shot his son once in the head. Ayalis Oliver then sat and waited for police to arrive. He makes his next appearance in court Dec. 2.
Cleveland bodies case hard on nearby sausage shop CLEVELAND (AP) — The owners of a Cleveland meat company say it was difficult being blamed for a neighborhood stench that police ultimately determined was coming from the home of an alleged serial killer. Police say the remains of 11 women were found this month in the home of 50-year-old Anthony Sowell. Authorities say Sowell strangled the women and left their bodies in his house or buried in the backyard. Neighbors had blamed the odor on a broken sewer or the nearby sausage shop. Leslie Cash, chief financial officer of Ray’s Sausage Inc., says all the talk was hard on morale. The family owned company spent $20,000 on new plumbing fixtures, sewer
lines and grease traps, thinking that might get rid of the odor. Now that Sowell is behind bars, Cash says the family feels vindicated but also grieves for the victims.
NASA: Floating ‘junk’ no threat to space station CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — NASA says a piece of old space junk that it’s been tracking for a few days is no threat to the International Space Station. But there’s another piece of debris in the space station’s neighborhood. Mission Control decided late Friday that the outpost would not need to dodge a 10-year-old rocket chunk. The Delta rocket was launched in 1999 with NASA’s comet-chasing spacecraft, Stardust. Experts concluded the junk would come no closer than five-and-a-half miles Saturday. In fact, it was moving away from the station. On Friday, NASA spotted an old science payload from a previous shuttle mission in the vicinity of the 220-mile-high space station. It’s expected to come within 9 miles Monday. For now, it’s not considered a threat.

Daily Meditation Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name Jesus. Matthew 1:22-25
Our Opinion
The power to move on Closure. That’s what the family and friends of Kelly Currin Morris are in search of now. Hundreds came together on Saturday to help them through this process and to remember the mother whose remains were found some 10 days ago in southern Granville County — after she was missing for more than 14 months. Funeral services are designed to bring closure for those who are left behind and to begin the process of letting go. Such were the words chosen by the Rev. Keith Williams at Bible Baptist Church in Butner on Saturday. With beautiful blue skies and a crisp fall air — a day much too pretty for such sorrow, friends and family gathered to remember the mother, just 28 years old when she went missing. Even a year after her house was burned and her car and purse found abandoned, search parties were still combing the woods. Friends, neighbors and family members were holding vigils to find her. It seemed that so many prayers led to too few answers for the longest time. But, those prayers were answered. Not with the news that the family wanted to hear, but probably not unexpected news either. Kelly’s remains were finally found in a wooded area off Sam Moss Hayes Road, not far from her home. Even with answered prayers can come more questions at a time like this. “We do not come this afternoon with easy answers for all the questions that we have,” the Rev. Williams said. “We find ourselves hurting,” he added, “and we simply don’t understand the whys and how that all has happened to us and to this precious family.” Those in attendance at Saturday’s ceremony who knew Kelly were encouraged by the pastor to look beyond the questions and the sadness associated with Kelly’s death, instead to remember good times of laughter and happiness. There were many of those good times to be remembered. A community has come together in an incredible way to show love and support for Kelly and her family since the first day she was missing. Pat Currin, Kelly’s father, who with his wife now has custody of Kelly’s daughter, acknowledged just days after Kelly’s remains were found: “We’ve just got to move on from here.” Just days after the discovery of the remains and the arrest of Kelly’s husband for her murder, a reporter asked the parents if there was anything anyone could do for them. Pat replied, “Just continue to pray for us, that’s all.” Prayer and the support of a community have brought them this far. Somehow, we know, that both prayer and love have the power to carry them the rest of the way — to closure — as hard as it may be.
Quotable “The government is spearheading the restructuring of this commercial operation in the full knowledge of how the markets would react.” — Sheik Ahmed bin Saeed Al-Maktoum, the chairman of Dubai’s Supreme Fiscal Committee, in reaction to steep declines by world markets amid news of Dubai World’s request to postpone payment on some of its $60 billion in debt. “We all were very optimistic and hopeful. But it became increasingly clear last night after he got re-stuck that there weren’t very many options left.” — Spencer Jones, whose brother John Jones died early Thursday, nearly 28 hours after he got stuck in Nutty Putty Cave south of Salt Lake City.

Sanity, now departing gate ... (EDITOR’S NOTE: This column was originally published March 24, 2002.) We set out from Miami early on Feb. 5, two adults and a 2-year-old, bound for Salt Lake City. In a sense, we were following the Mormon pioneers, who trekked to Utah on foot, trudging 1,300 brutal miles over harsh terrain. They had it easy. We had to take a connecting flight through Dallas. Even on a good day, the Dallas-Fort Worth airport is not traveler-friendly. It was apparently built on top of a warp in the spacetime continuum, so no matter what gate you arrive at, you’re at least six miles from your departure gate. There is a tram system, but veteran travelers don’t use it, because it moves at the speed of a water buffalo passing through the digestive system of a python. Amelia Earhart is on there somewhere. So as I say, this airport is not convenient on a good day. But we did not arrive on a good day. We arrived when something incredible was happening, something so astounding, so extraordinary, so totally unpredictable that nobody — certainly nobody operating an airport — could possibly have anticipated it: snow. In winter! What are the
odds? Fortunately, the airport had a Snow Emergency Plan. Unfortunately, the plan apparently involved turning all ground operations over to Lucy and Ethel. So when we landed, our pilot informed us that we’d be delayed getting to our gate. A half-hour later, he informed us, in case we were Dave wondering, Barry that we Media Tribune Services
were still delayed. One hour after that, he informed us that he was now talking to — this is a real quote — “somebody who seems to have slightly more of a clue than the person we’ve been talking to for the last hour and a half.” After that, it took us only one more hour to get to our gate. At that point, we’d been on the plane five hours: 2-1/2 getting from Miami to Dallas, and another 2-1/2 getting the last 300 yards. During this time, we were each given one (one) tiny packet of a gritty substance that was called a “breakfast snack,” because you cannot come right out and inform
passengers that they’re being fed gerbil treats. Anyway, we finally got into the terminal, and as we hustled the six miles to our departure gate, we were heartened by the fact that the monitors said our outbound flight was now scheduled to leave at 1:41 p.m. “Wow!” we thought, with hunger-weakened brains. “One-forty-ONE! They have this thing figured down to the MINUTE!” And guess what? Our plane was at the gate, and we boarded, and they closed the doors almost exactly at 1:41! And then ... ... and then we sat for FOUR HOURS. If there is any activity more fun than sitting in a non-moving, meal-free plane for four hours with a 2-year-old, it would have to involve cattle prods. But finally our pilot started the engines, and we taxied for about a mile, after which the pilot stopped the plane and informed us that we would be waiting there for AT LEAST TWO MORE HOURS, because there were 40 planes ahead of us for the de-icing procedure, which was apparently being performed by a lone worker with a windshield scraper. The pilot also said we could use our cell phones. I considered calling the Cyanide Capsule Delivery Service, but my
wife, who’s more of an idealist, called the airport offices to complain. She finally reached somebody who said, basically, that airport management had nothing to do with managing the airport, and that our beef was with the airline, which I will call “Nacirema Airlines.” So my wife called Nacirema, and was eventually dumped on Consumer Affairs. A person there said this was not Nacirema’s fault, because it was a weather problem. My wife said she understood about the weather, but wished to complain that we’d all been loaded onto a plane without being told that the plane would not take off for at least SIX HOURS, which Nacirema surely knew. The Consumer Affairs person responded that — get ready — she would not even record this complaint, because it was a weather problem. Finally, a little over six hours after we boarded, the flight took off, and two hours later we were in Salt Lake City. So our trip took 13 hours, of which we spent 8-1/2 sitting on the ground. My point is this: If we catch Osama bin Laden, which I hope we do, I don’t know what would be the best way to try him, or where the trial should be held. But I DEFINITELY know how we should get him there.
Why race still haunts politics to this day He takes it back. In a recent interview Attorney General Eric Holder conceded that, if he had it to do over again, he might have chosen another less incendiary word than “cowards” in his now-notorious Black History Month speech to describe the way Americans tend to avoid candid talk about race. I wasn’t surprised. Public backlash over his use of the Cword gave him a fast lesson in why so many of us Americans have become too cowardly to talk candidly about race. We’re afraid of being called “politically incorrect” or outright “racist.” Yet, we can’t shrug off the baggage of history that easily. Questions about race keep coming up, since race continues to be a subtext of our politics like little land mines of “gotcha” moments — like the one Holder stepped on. You can hear it in the question that haunts the mostly white makeup of populist conservatives in the anti-tax “tea party” rallies, the August town hall protests and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s book signings: How much does race have to do with it? A racial streak always has haunted populist politics. But in most of today’s uprising by populist conservatives, race is only a marker, if a highly visible one, for other differences that have defined American politics since at least the 1960s.
If ever there was a time we should be talking candidly about race it is now. Yet, it is considered bad manners at best or even “racist” at worst to ask how much of today’s protests of President Barack Obama’s policies might be motivated by race. People are touchy for at least three good Clarence reasons: One, Page race is so Media Tribune hard to Services quantify; two, the protests are more ideological than racial; and, three, most Americans have little tolerance for outright bigotry anymore. Polls offer limited help. Obama’s approval ratings have fallen in November polls by Gallup and Public Policy Polling while Sarah Palin’s have risen. At this rate, they might even meet somewhere in the high 40s, a Drudge Report headline trumpets. But what’s race got to do with that? Much of Obama’s fall results from recent bad news on the employment and Afghanistan fronts, and much of Palin’s rise results from her highly touted book tour. Still,
since almost all of Obama’s decline has come from white voters while his numbers among blacks and Hispanics have stayed virtually the same, many still ask how much of the difference results from the issue of race. In some cases, the nuances as to what’s racist or what isn’t draw distinctions without much of a significant difference. Take, for example, the anti-Obama billboard that auto dealer Phil Wolf erected recently in Wheat Ridge, Colo. In big letters it says, “BIRTH CERTIFICATE” and “PROVE IT,” a reference to the goofy movement that questions Obama’s natural-born citizenship despite overwhelming evidence. It also features two cartoonish images of Obama wearing a turban and reads, “President or Jihad?” and “Wake Up America! Remember Ft. Hood.” In interviews, Wolf has said he’s convinced Obama is a secret Muslim, a view that Pew Research Center polls have shown about 11 percent of the population shares. Would they feel that way about a white president with Obama’s background? Frankly, it’s not hard to imagine, considering the paranoid streak in American politics that has nurtured worse myths than that about previous presidents. Maybe that’s what my friend and MSNBC “Hardball”
host Chris Matthews was thinking when he blurted out during coverage of the 1,500 people waiting for Palin in a Grand Rapids, Mich., bookstore autograph that “They look like a white crowd to me” and “not that there’s anything wrong with it, but it is pretty monochromatic up there” and “I think there is a tribal aspect to this thing, in other words, white vs. other people.” Conservative bloggers took umbrage at that, for all the understandable reasons of racial ambiguity that I listed above. You’re not a racist just because everybody around you happens to be of the same race as you. Yet, as political demographics take shape, there is a tribal aspect to politics. Birds of a feather flock together, social scientists tell us, and so do people. Today’s American tribes gather for reasons of shared values, interests and attitudes more than race or other shared ancestry. Yet, our ancestral differences play a big role in shaping our presentday attitudes. That’s why we need to talk more openly and candidly about race, if we can only find the right language to do it.

Kudos to Friday columnist Eaves for rural flavor To the editor: I have been reading the paper for several weeks now and your Friday columnist, Gina Eaves, is great! I look forward to her stories every week. She brings a round of good humor and small town life. Gina has brought a lot to our local paper and community. It is refreshing to have a young woman write and share her down-toearth and funny stories. She has talent beyond her years that brings you right into her story and the ability to make you experience what she has experienced. Unfortunately these days, anytime you turn on the television, read any newspaper or magazine, it is filled with bad news, violence and crime. It makes me sad to know that is the type of news that sells and we have come to expect. Gina’s columns are wonderful to read and enjoy. She tells us such down-home stories, some of which we can all share and many have lived! I can remember many times growing up and picking vegetables from the garden, going to grandma’s, cooking with my family, playing with my cousins and living the rural life — the good life. Thank goodness it’s Friday and I look forward to reading many more of Gina’s stories. Keep up the good work and don’t let anyone else take your strawberries! Renee Currin Henderson

Temporary insanity in filling EDC job To the editor: Vance County has been looking for an economic development director for quite a while. Recently, County Manager Jerry Ayscue announced that we’ve hired one ... sort of. Ayscue said in the Dispatch, “While we had very good applicants initially for the position, we just did not find the right individual.” That is politically correct speak for “We had to hold our noses while reading the resumes. Nobody was qualified. But we’ll keep looking.” Since no qualified person applied for the job, it would make sense to hire no one and continue to search for a qualified professional. That is, it would make sense to you and me. But it apparently makes no sense to county leaders. Although no applicant was qualified for the job, one was put on the payroll anyway. James Hinkle, one of the applicants not qualified for the position, was hired as a 90-day temp. Mr. Hinkle is probably a decent person and has held a bunch of positions, most government related. Mind you, his is not

Editor
your ordinary hands-on warehouse or administrative position for which a temp is ideally suited. No, far from it. The tasks of a new economic development director, entirely different from those of the previous director, are longterm in nature and require constant dialogue with local business owners, massive planning, continual implementation, worldwide marketing, a serious professional commitment, and getting results. Tax money must be burning our commissioners’ pockets. Allowing a desk to go unoccupied and saving tax dollars can’t be tolerated. They hired a temp, somebody who for 90 days will absorb and spend tens of thousands of dollars, meet a few business people (maybe), make a few speeches, and get himself ready for his next temporary assignment. Bad form, commissioners. God only knows why, but we expected better. James Vaeth Vance County

Healthy Moments Strep Throat Easily Cured Every winter people start to worry about strep throat. Strep infections are increased at this time of year because children are grouped together in school and people are indoors and in closer contact with one another. Strep is a contagious bacteria which can infect many areas, but the most common area is the throat where it infects the tonsils. Strep can also invade the ears, skin, lungs and sinuses. Strep throat can be confirmed by doing a throat culture. There is a quick test to diagnose strep in a matter of minutes, so appropriate treatment can begin right away. Strep is typically treated with antibiotics. Remember, strep is contagious and it is important to follow your doctor’s instructions to prevent spreading the infection to others.

CREEDMOOR, from page one regularly turn over taxes deducted from employees’ pay. Karan had thought Creedmoor’s financial problems were resolved after Charles Hammond was removed as city manager in 2004 for reasons that included failure to properly supervise the staff regarding accounting. In September 2007, Creedmoor received notice from the LGC about “egregious” bookkeeping. One of the major issues was the lack of separating duties in the finance office to make sure more than one set of eyes was looking at the books. And the LGC warned of at least $1.2 million in potential penalties and interest. Fowler declined to answer this reporter’s requests for an explanation — all she would say was she hoped the situation would be worked out — but an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) report, released in December 2007, took Fowler to task for failing to make sure reports got to IRS and Social Security officials on schedule. The IRS report additionally detailed Fowler’s story about what went wrong: Problems with the mail. The report said that IRS agents did not believe Fowler. In January, Mercer released Hawkins because he said the finance office needed reorganizing in the midst of the weak national economy. The commission unanimously approved Mercer’s proposal for him to double as the finance director. Retired Oxford Finance Director Kelly Howard and retired Creedmoor accountant Bill Tatum additionally were tapped for their expertise.
In April, Moss told the Dispatch that IRS penalties of $100,000 against Creedmoor had been reduced to $15,200 because the city was successful in having the IRS reclassify issues with W-2s and 941s from a non-filing to a late filing. Moss had told the Dispatch that the IRS had said Creedmoor would have to pay $100,000 as a result of the past slipshod bookkeeping methods, but that he was pleased because the amount could have been as high as nearly $483,000. And Moss had said Creedmoor budgeted approximately $620,000 for a worst-case scenario. Oxford certified public accountant Jim Winston, in presenting an audit report in October 2008, additionally said Creedmoor still needed to compare the numbers on the books to the numbers on the bank statements in a timely manner. Moss on Wednesday told the Dispatch that municipal records have been reconciled with the bank statements and that Winston has presented the audit of the municipal government for 2009. Moss said the city, as part of standard procedure, handed the audit to the LGC for review. Wiles, a certified public accountant, began his career as a staff accountant at Eilers Jones Brown & McLeod in Raleigh. Wiles went on to hold several positions with the state treasurer’s office and eventually became assistant director of the fiscal management section of the state and local government finance division. A Sept. 16 report from the Eastern Wake News, however, said Wiles was
forced to resign as Knightdale’s chief financial official. Wiles was quoted as describing his leaving as a “parting of ways” with Knightdale’s government. “That’s probably all I can say,” Wiles told the Eastern Wake News, adding he wished Knightdale’s government the best. Knightdale is just east of Raleigh. The Eastern Wake News said Wiles was best known for self-admitted corny jokes at Knightdale’s government meetings and keeping a tight rein on municipal bookkeeping since having worked as the town’s finance director since June 2005. Knightdale Mayor Russell Killen and Knightdale Town Manager Gary McConkey were each quoted as saying there were no financial improprieties, but declined to talk about Wiles’ resignation, citing the personnel exemption to North Carolina’s open records laws. The Eastern Wake News noted the resignation of Wiles was the third high profile departure from Knightdale’s government in the previous 15 months, with Planning Director Mike Frangos having resigned and Public Safety Director Ricky Pope having retired.

East African albinos killed for body parts believed magical By TOM ODULA Associated Press Writer
NAIROBI, Kenya — The mistaken belief that albino body parts have magical powers has driven thousands of Africa’s albinos into hiding, fearful of losing their lives and limbs to unscrupulous dealers who can make up to $75,000 selling a complete dismembered set. Since 2007, 44 albinos have been killed in Tanzania and 14 others have been slain in Burundi, sparking widespread fear among albinos in East Africa. At least 10,000 have been displaced or gone into hiding since the killings began, according to a report released this week by the International Federation for the Red Cross and Crescent societies. East Africa’s latest albino murder happened in Tanzania’s Mwanza region in late October, when albino hunters beheaded 10-year-old Gasper Elikana and chopped off his leg, the report said. The killing left Elikana’s father, who tried to defend his son, seriously injured. Albinism is a hereditary condition, but occurs only when both parents have albinism genes. All six of Owido’s children have normal skin color. African albinos endure insults, discrimination and segregation throughout their lives. They also have a high

The surge in the use of albino body parts as good luck charms is a result of “a kind of marketing exercise by witch doctors,” the International Federation for the Red Cross and Crescent societies said. The report says the market for albino parts exists mainly in Tanzania, where a complete set of body parts — including all limbs, genitals, ears, tongue and nose — can sell for $75,000. Wealthy buyers use the parts as talismans to bring them wealth and good fortune. The chairman of the
Albino Association of Kenya, Isaac Mwaura, called the murders deplorable but said the killings have given albinos a platform to raise awareness. Almost 90 percent of albinos living in the region were raised by single mothers, Mwaura said, because the fathers believed their wives were having affairs with white men. Some African communities believe that albinos are harbingers of disaster, while others mistakenly think albinos are mentally retarded and discourage their parents from taking them to school, saying it’s a waste of money, he said.

Russia probes bomb that caused train crash as terrorism By DAVID NOWAK IVAN SEKRETAREV Associated Press Writers and
UGLOVKA, Russia — A homemade bomb was planted on the tracks of the high-speed Moscow-to-St. Petersburg train route, causing a derailment that killed at least 26 people and injured dozens more, Russian officials said Saturday as they opened a terrorism investigation. The head of Russia’s Federal Security Service, Alexander Borotnikov, said an improvised explosive device equivalent to 15 pounds of TNT had detonated when the train passed over it Friday about 9:30 p.m. Remains of the device were found at the site of the crash, Borotnikov said. “Indeed, this was a terrorist attack,” the Interfax
news agency cited Vladimir Markin, a spokesman for federal prosecutors, as saying. He told the ITAR-Tass news agency the bomb crater on the track was five feet deep. The force of the derailment crumpled several cars in a remote rural area, trapping some injured passengers in the wreckage for hours. As of late Saturday, authorities still said 18 people were unaccounted for. A second explosive device partially detonated Saturday during the clear-up operation near the disaster site, according to the head of Russian Railways, Vladimir Yakunin. The last three carriages of the 14-car Nevsky Express careered off the tracks Friday night as the train approached speeds of 130 mph, officials said. More than 650 passengers and staff were on the train when
it derailed near the border of the Novgorod and Tver provinces, some 250 miles northwest of Moscow and 150 miles southeast of St. Petersburg. Reports on the death toll varied. Health Minister Tatyana Golikova said at least 26 people were killed, 18 were missing and nearly 100 were injured and hospitalized in the derailment. The Prosecutor General’s office said the death toll had risen to 30, with 60 others in the hospital. There have been no credible claims of responsibility. But sketches were being composed of several suspects, Interior Ministry head Rashid Nurgaliyev told Interfax, including of a man with ginger hair who is about 40 years old. Witness accounts ap-

BEIJING (AP) — Flooding trapped 16 coal miners in northeastern China on Saturday, while the death toll from a gas blast at another mine rose to 10. China’s mining industry is the world’s deadliest, with most accidents blamed on poor safety as enterprises scramble to feed the country’s insatiable demand for coal. The flooding occurred Friday afternoon after a cave-in at the mine in Meikou city in Jilin province, a provincial work safety official said. Xinhua said the cave-in occurred about half a mile inside the mine. Separately, rescuers late Friday found a final body, bringing the death toll from a gas explosion at a coal mine in southern China to 10. A spokesman with the Guizhou Provincial Work Safety Bureau told Xinhua that 172 miners were under-

Cameron Butler had nine points and Brandon Hargrove tallied eight points, 13 rebounds and seven assists. Northern coach Wilton Baskett credited both teams with strong defensive performances. “We were fortunate to get some steals in the second half and create some cushion,” said Baskett.

Police: Woods, wife unavailable for interview By FRED GOODALL AP Sports Writer
WINDERMERE, Fla. — Tiger Woods and his wife were not available to speak to state troopers for the second straight day, asking that they return Sunday to try to clear up questions about how he crashed his SUV into a neighbor’s tree. The FHP said the announcement that Woods and his wife, Elin, could not speak Saturday to authorities came from his agent. Mark Steinberg of IMG did not immediately respond to a text seeking comment. Troopers previously tried to talk to Woods on Friday afternoon. The patrol said his wife told troopers Woods was sleeping, and they agreed to return the next day. Woods smashed his Cadillac near his $2.4 million mansion at 2:25 a.m. Friday and was briefly hospitalized, police said. His lips were cut, and Windermere police chief Daniel Saylor has said Woods’ wife used a golf club to smash out a back window and help Woods from the car. Sgt.

RALEIGH — Even in a season gone awry, Russell Wilson and North Carolina State still know how to beat North Carolina. Wilson threw four touchdown passes and Alan-Michael Cash blocked a field goal attempt with about 5 minutes left to help the Wolfpack rally past the 23rdranked Tar Heels 28-27 on Saturday, ending a bowl-less season in the jubilant style that only a win against a nationally ranked rival can bring. Wilson connected twice with Owen Spencer for scores, including the go-ahead 38-yard touchdown two plays into the fourth quarter that gave the Wolfpack (5-7, 2-6 ACC) a third straight win against their next-door neighbors and fiercest football rivals. All three have come since Tom O’Brien took over shortly after the Tar Heels (8-4, 4-4) made their big splash by luring former Miami and NFL coach Butch Davis to Chapel Hill in

North Carolina’s Deunta Williams chases North Carolina State’s Owen Spencer during the second half of the Wolfpack’s 28-27 win Saturday. Spencer scored a touchdown on the play. late 2006. “It means a tremendous amount to this program,” O’Brien said. “They’re going to ask how (their) senior year was, and they’re going to say, ’We beat Carolina.’ And that’ll sum
up their year.” That should offer some solace to a program that expected it could contend for an ACC division title only to see everything go wrong. The defense was terrible all year, allowing 30 or
more points in seven straight games to undermine an offense that returned an all-ACC quarterback in Wilson and averaged about 31 points. Much of those troubles began with injuries, starting with losing top linebacker Nate Irving for the season after he was injured in an offseason car wreck. Another 11 players went down with season-ending injuries. “Thank God it’s over,” O’Brien said. “I mean, I don’t think we could go play in a bowl game if we had to.” While playing North Carolina in a de facto bowl game was incentive enough, the Wolfpack also had the motivation of playing for offensive coordinator Dana Bible. The team learned earlier this week that Bible, who was not with the team for its final two games, had been diagnosed with leukemia and would be hospitalized for treatment for a month. Bible was clearly on Wilson’s mind afterward. He chucked Please see PACK WINS, page 3B

Wake Forest quarterback Riley Skinner passes against Duke during an Saturday in Durham. Wake Forest defeated Duke 45-34. Skinner passed for a career-high 372 yards and a school-record five touchdowns to help Wake defeat Duke.
DURHAM — Riley Skinner knew he wouldn’t get a chance to sling passes in a bowl game, so he made the most of his throws in the regular-season finale. Skinner passed for a careerhigh 372 yards and a schoolrecord five touchdowns to help Wake Forest defeat Duke 45-34 on Saturday. He completed 28 of 38 passes and did not throw an interception for the Demon Deacons (5-7, 3-5 Atlantic Coast Conference), who ended their season by snapping a five-game losing streak. “It feels a lot better than anybody outside of our locker room can imagine,” said Skinner, who finished the year with singleseason school records of 3,160 yards and 26 touchdown passes.
“Just what we’ve gone through this year and the kind of games that we’ve had have been the toughest to lose.” Devon Brown caught a pair of touchdown passes to help Wake Forest get its 10th consecutive win over Duke. Marshall Williams added eight catches for 119 yards and a touchdown for the Demon Deacons, who suffered five losses this season by three points or fewer. The victory allowed Wake Forest’s seniors, led by Skinner, to become the winningest senior class in school history. “We’ve wanted that for six games now,” said Skinner, whose group had been tied with the Please see DEACONS, page 3B

Two-minute drill Pirates down Eagles to clinch title berth NFL Concussion to sideline Ben Roethlisberger PITTSBURGH (AP) — Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is expected to sit out Sunday night’s game at Baltimore because of a concussion. The unexpected development apparently means inexperienced Dennis Dixon would make his first NFL start. Roethlisberger practiced all week despite sustaining his fourth concussion since 2006 during an overtime loss in Kansas City on Sunday. He said Thursday he had been cleared to play. Foxsports.com first reported that Roethlisberger would not play. The Steelers list Roethlisberger as questionable, meaning there is a 50-50 chance he’ll play.
College Football Louisville fires football coach Kragthorpe LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Louisville fired football coach Steve Kragthorpe after finishing the year at 4-8, the school’s worst season in more than a decade. Athletic director Tom Jurich met with Kragthorpe Saturday morning, hours after the Cardinals finished the season with a 34-14 loss to Rutgers. Kragthorpe went 15-21 in three seasons after replacing Bobby Petrino in January 2007. He had two years remaining on a contract that paid him about $1.1 annually. Jurich said a national search would begin immediately. The list of candidates could include Houston coach Kevin Sumlin, Florida defensive coordinator Charlie Strong and former Tennessee coach Phil Fulmer. Louisville failed to make a bowl game in any of Kragthorpe’s three years. The Cardinals went 5-16 in the Big East during his stay while fan support eroded.

The Mountaineers (10-2), who defeated S.C. State in the first round before falling to Richmond last year, will face the winner of Richmond and Elon in the quarterfinals on Dec. 5. Tied at 13-13, South Carolina State went for it on fourth-and-1 from Appalachian State’s 15-yard line. But the Bulldogs (10-2) fumbled, McDuffie recovered and returned it for the winning score with 7:42 left to play.

The Spiders (11-1) will host Appalachian State next Saturday in the quarterfinals. Richmond defeated Appalachian State 33-13 in the quarterfinals last year. The Phoenix (9-3), who made their first playoff appearance, will be the first team to face Richmond in the new Robins Stadium on Sept. 18, 2010. This years playoffs will end Richmonds tenure at UR Stadium that started in 1929. Adam Schreiner missed a pair of field goals in the final 1:30. The Phoenix moved to Richmonds 31 with 7 second left before Shreiners 47-yard attempt was short.

GREENVILLE (AP) — C.J. Wilson blocked the kick, scooped the ball and took off for the goal line. Nothing was going to stop him from securing one final home game at East Carolina. The Pirates claimed home-field advantage for the Conference USA championship game by beating Southern Mississippi 25-20 on Saturday, with the final momentum swing coming on Wilson’s return of a blocked extra point for the tiebreaking two-point conversion. Patrick Pinkney was 25 of 41 passing for 269 yards and Dwayne Harris and defensive tackle Linval Joseph had scoring runs for East Carolina (8-4, 7-1), which beat the Golden Eagles in Greenville for the first time since 1994. Now the defending league champion welcomes the West winner — either No. 25 Houston or SMU — to Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium with the winner of that game claiming a spot in the Liberty Bowl. “The seniors, we said, ’This isn’t our Senior Night,”’ Wilson said. “Next week is our Senior Night, and we believed until the end.” Damion Fletcher had 60 yards rushing for Southern Miss (7-5, 5-3), and his 3-yard touchdown pass to Leroy Banks made it 20-all with 7:35 to play. But Wilson burst through the middle to block Daniel Hrapmann’s

East Carolina's Dwayne Harris gets past Southern Mississippi's C.J. Bailey during the first half of the Pirates’ 25-20 win Saturday. PAT, pushed the kicker out of the way to grab the ball near the 25-yard line and raced downfield while being escorted by a convoy of blockers to put the Pirates up 22-20. “That unit has continued to let the football team down throughout the entire year,” Southern Miss coach Larry Fedora said of a kick team that also allowed Houston to block a PAT and return it for two. Ben Hartman made it a five-point game with his third field goal of the day, a 47-yarder with 4:37 remaining. Martevious Young couldn’t bring the Golden Eagles past midfield in both of their possessions after that, with Steve Spence sacking him on the final play of the game. Tory Harrison rushed 41 yards for a touchdown late in the third quarter, Young finished 20 of 44 for 262 yards with a score and DeAndre Brown had 145 yards receiving on seven catches for Southern Miss.
The Golden Eagles, trying to reach the CUSA title game for the first time since 2006, rallied from 10 points down before ultimately slipping to 1-5 on the road this year and losing on East Carolina’s home field for just the third time in 18 appearances. The Pirates’ only two prior victories against Southern Miss in Conference USA play came in Hattiesburg. “They have been our Achilles’ heel. They have been our nemesis,” East Carolina coach Skip Holtz said, adding that he told Fedora during a pregame chat that “this is what it needed to come down to, the two best teams in the East playing for all the marbles here in the very last game of the year.” Harris put forth one of the Pirates’ best individual efforts of the season. After bobbling an end-around handoff, he recovered in time to run through a feeble tackling attempt and race 34
yards down the left sideline for his team-leading fifth touchdown, putting East Carolina up 10-7. Then, Pinkney kept things rolling, completing five consecutive passes before his 12-yard scramble got the Pirates to the 5. Two plays later, Joseph — a 322-pound defensive tackle who lined up at fullback — plunged across the goal line to make it a 10-point game with about 5 1/2 minutes before halftime. “These seniors and this football team, the way they continue to fight, the way they continue to believe, they continue to compete — they never flinched today,” Holtz said. “There was never that look of concern. ... It was like, ’Hey, we’re getting it done.”’ Southern Miss hit on a pair of huge gainers early — both 40-yard passes from Young to Brown — but could turn them into only seven points, a 17-yard scoring pass from Young to Freddie Parham that made it 7-3 late in the quarter. That came one possession after the Golden Eagles blew a golden scoring opportunity, when Fletcher fumbled at the 1. “In a big game like this, you can’t miss those opportunities,” Fedora said. “When you have an opportunity to make plays, you have to make them. We didn’t. I don’t know why. There were enough plays where we had guys in position to put the ball in the end zone. We just didn’t.”
ECU downs UNC-Greensboro 82-61 in second straight win GREENSBORO (AP) — Darrius Morrow scored 22 points and had nine rebounds to lead East Carolina to an 82-61 victory over North CarolinaGreensboro on Saturday. The Pirates (3-4) led 37-23 at halftime and shot 65.4 percent from
the field (17-for-26) in the second half. UNC-Greensboro (1-4) cut the lead to 46-45 on Kyle Randall’s 3-pointer with 13:12 remaining, but East Carolina scored the next 11 points for a 57-45 lead with 10:54 left.
The run was capped by a dunk from Morrow, who was 9 of 11 from the field. Chris Turner’s layup gave the Pirates a 62-47 lead with 9:16 remaining in the game. Brock Young, who had seven assists, and Jamar
Abrams scored 15 points each for the Pirates. Chad Wynn and Jontae Sherrod added 10 points each for East Carolina. Kendall Toney led UNC-Greensboro with 19 points. Korey Van Dussen and Randall added 13 points each.
Bellfield leads UNLV to upset of No. 16 L’Ville LAS VEGAS (AP) — UNLV nearly let a big lead fritter away against Louisville. Oscar Bellfield scored 17 points, Tre’Von Willis added 16 and the Runnin’ Rebels held on for a 76-71 win over the No. 16 Cardinals on Saturday, a game the Mountain West upstarts led by 19 points in the second half. The Cardinals (4-1) used a 30-11 run to overcome the 53-34 deficit with 14:05 remaining, tying the score at 64-64 on Rakeem Buckles’ basket with 4:24 left. Bellfield answered with six straight points, and the Runnin’ Rebels (5-
0) managed to hang on in a game they never trailed. “Oscar was great,” UNLV coach Lon Kruger said. “He kept battling.” Buckles scored eight of his 10 points during Louisville’s tying run. He also finished with 11 rebounds, while Edgar Sosa had 18 points and Samardo Samuels 13. “That was a game that showed a lot about our team,” Kruger said. “You see a lot of pressure from (Rick) Pitino teams. ... Our team has been very unselfish. Our depth is huge — it has already paid us dividends.” The Cardinals were
coming off a four-game sweep in the Hall of Fame showcase, including a 9666 rout of Arkansas. But they were unimpressive in a 69-56 win over East Tennessee State and a 90-81 victory over Morgan State, and were stung again by the Runnin’ Rebels. UNLV went into Freedom Hall and won 56-55 last season. Before that, Louisville had won four straight in the series dating to 1993. “It’s not a bad loss,” Pitino said. “It’ snot surprising when you play a road game like this, this early in the season. It’s a difficult place to play.
We knew it would be a tough game, but we knew it would make us a better team in the end.” Darris Santee added 13 points and a key block in the final minute for UNLV, which led 40-30 at halftime. Derrick Jasper added 12 points and Chace Stanback finished with nine rebounds and two blocked shots. The Cardinals tied the score at 20-20 on Sosa’s lay-up with 9:30 left, but the Rebels shot 56 percent from the field (15 of 27) over the first 20 minutes and led 38-27 following Willis’ free throw with 2:24 remaining.
Izzo tops Mich St win list in 106-68 win over UMass By DAN GELSTON AP Basketball Writer
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — Tom Izzo won his 341st game at Michigan State, setting the school record for victories in the No. 2 Spartans’ 106-68 win over Massachusetts on Saturday night in the Legends Classic. Izzo set the record the same week mentor and predecessor Jud Heathcote was inducted into the National Collegiate Hall of Fame. For years, it was Izzo who sat by Heathcote’s side as an assistant and associate head coach. When Heathcote retired, Izzo was his hand-picked successor. Izzo He now stands alone atop the Spartans’ win list with a 341-138 record in his 15th season.
Chris Allen led the Spartans (5-1) with 18 points. Izzo made the hundreds of green-clad fans who made the trip to the Jersey shore wait a day for history after the Spartans were upset by Florida 77-74 on Friday night. They returned for a glimpse of school history in the consolation game of the tournament, where Florida played Rutgers in the championship game. Like so many of Michigan State’s games against weak non-conference teams, this outcome was never in doubt. The Spartans used a 30-3 run in the first half to turn this slice of school history into a lopsided one. Raymar Morgan scored 17 points, Kalin Lucas had 16 and Korie Lucious 13. Izzo glumly downplayed
the coaching milestone when the Gators won on Friday. He was more appreciative of the mark the night he tied Heathcote.

ACC HOOPS
Wake falls to William & Mary; Hokies win in OT William & Mary 78, Wake Forest 68 WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — David Schneider had 16 points, including sinking seven free throws in the final 35 seconds, and William & Mary held on to beat Wake Forest 7868 on Saturday night. The Tribe (4-2) scored all of their final 18 points from the foul line during the game’s final 2:24 to seal the win. Danny Sumner also scored 16 for the Tribe, who last beat a current Atlantic Coast Conference team five years ago. That 60-52 victory came on Dec. 7, 2002, at home against Virginia Tech, then a member of the Big East. William & Mary led nearly the entire way. The Demon Deacons (4-1) had their only lead at 6-5, and once Matt Rum converted two free throws about a minute later, the Tribe were out front. C.J. Harris had 17 points and Al-Farouq Aminu added 11 points and a career-high 20 rebounds, but shot just 4 of 18 from the field for Wake Forest.
Virginia Tech 74, Delaware 66 PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Malcolm Delaney scored 24 points, including the first five points of overtime to lead Virginia Tech past Delaware 74-66 on Saturday night. The preseason All-ACC guard opened the extra period with two free throws and a 3-pointer to put the Hokies (4-1) up for good 68-63. Delaware’s Edwin Santiago missed a 3-pointer with 40 seconds remaining allowing Virginia Tech to seal the game. Terrell Bell and Delaney each hit free throws and JT Thompson added a layup to finish the Hokies’ scoring. Virginia Tech’s Jeff Allen chipped in 16 points and nine rebounds in the Philly Hoop Group contest. Jawan Carter led the Blue Hens (1-4) with 23 points, including a layup with 18 seconds left in regulation to tie the game 63-63 and send it into overtime. D.J. Boney added 13 points and Josh Brinkley added 12 for Delaware.
Miami 70, USC-Upstate 41 CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) — Dwayne Collins scored 17 points as Miami remained unbeaten in a 70-41 rout over South Carolina-Upstate on Saturday. Miami outscored the Spartans 20-4 and broke the game open during a 7:51 span midway through the first half. Collins scored six points during the spurt and Julian Gamble’s field goal with 6:45 remaining capped the run for a 25-11 Hurricanes’ lead. Cyrus McGowan’s jumper with 3:13 left in the half gave the Hurricanes their first 20-point lead at 33-13. Reggie Johnson finished with 13 points for the Hurricanes (7-0). Nick Schneiders led the Spartans (0-5) with 11 points. Mezie Uzochukwu’s reverse layup 1:19 into the second half put South Carolina-Upstate within 14 points. But Collins responded with seven straight points in the next 2:33 to give Miami a 45-24 lead.
Providence 82, Boston College 77 PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Josh Southern scored on a three-point play with 43 seconds left and Boston College withstood Providence’s late rally in an 82-77 win on Saturday night. Providence led 77-75 with 1 minute to play, but Southern’s threepoint play proved to be the game winner for Boston College (4-2). Biko Paris and Joe Trapani combined to go 4-for-4 from the freethrow line to secure the win. Reggie Jackson led the Eagles with 20 points and 12 rebounds. Trapani added 19 points and rebounds for Boston College, which led by as much as 18 points in the first half but saw its lead slip away in the second period. Marshon Brooks scored 13 of his 16 points in the second half to fuel the comeback, and Sharaud Curry led the Friars (4-2) with 20 points and eight assists.
Source: Iverson retirement may be brief By DAN GELSTON AP Sports Writer
PHILADELPHIA — Allen Iverson’s retirement could be a short one. A person with knowledge of the talks says the Philadelphia 76ers have been
approached about signing former franchise superstar Iverson, and team management has held internal discussions about bringing him back. The person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because talks have not been made public, says
Iverson is among the freeagent candidates the Sixers are considering to replace injured point guard Lou Williams, who’s expected to miss eight weeks after jaw surgery. Iverson announced his retirement this week after
an ill-fated stint with the Memphis Grizzlies. The 10-time All-Star was NBA MVP in 2001 when he led the Sixers to the NBA Finals. Iverson was traded to Denver in 2006 and spent most of last season with Detroit.
to seal the victory for the Demon Deacons. The game featured the first matchup of 9,000yard passers in ACC history in Skinner and Lewis, two of three players in league history to throw for at least 2,000 yards in all four seasons. Skinner and Lewis wasted no time adding to their gaudy career statistics in the final college game for each. Before the game was 8 minutes old, each quarterback had thrown a pair of long touchdown passes. Lewis hooked up Varner and Austin Kelly on touchdowns of 56 and 62 yards, and Skinner connected with Brown and Chris Givens on scoring strikes of 28 and 54 yards. “The thing I was most proud of is how our
defense settled down and started making them earn it a little bit better,” Wake Forest coach Jim Grobe said. “We actually got off the field some. After those first couple of possessions, I didn’t know if we would find a way to get off the field.” While Lewis passed former Florida State quarterback Chris Weinke for second place on the ACC list for career passing yards, Skinner finished second all time in another category. Skinner’s final completion percentage of .6693 left him just behind the ACC record of .6697 set by Matt Schaub of Virginia. “This team is going to miss (Skinner) a lot,” Grobe said. “A lot. He’s a pretty special guy.”
scene Saturday. Saylor said his two officers found the 33-year-old Woods lying in the street with his wife hovering over him. Saylor said she told officers she was in the house when she heard the accident and “broke the back window with a golf club.” He said the front-door windows were not broken and that “the door was probably locked.” “She supposedly got him out and laid him on the ground,” he said. “He was in and out of consciousness when my guys got there.” In a telephone interview, Woods’ father-in-law, radio journalist Thomas Nordegren, told The Associated Press in Stockholm that he would not discuss the accident. “I haven’t spoken to her in the last few ... “ Nordegren said about his daughter, Elin, before cutting himself off. “I don’t want to go into that.” Woods’ mother-in-law Barbro Holmberg also refused to address the matter. “She doesn’t want to comment on private issues like these,” Holmberg’s spokeswoman Eva Malm-
borg said. Roger Federer, who has become close with Woods in recent years, said after losing in the semifinals of the ATP World Tour Finals in London, “I haven’t spoken to him. I heard it’s not too serious, which is a good thing.” Asked at a Friday evening news conference if the couple could have been arguing, Saylor said he had no knowledge of that. The accident came two days after the National Enquirer published a story alleging that Woods had been seeing a New York night club hostess, and that they recently were together in Melbourne, where Woods competed in the Australian Masters. The woman, Rachel Uchitel, denied having an affair with Woods when contacted by the AP. “I resent my reputation is getting completely blasted in the media,” she said during a telephone interview late Friday. “Everyone is assuming I came out and said this. This is not a story I have anything to do with.” Uchitel said she was in Melbourne two weeks ago
DEACONS, from page 1B 2008 senior class with 32 wins since Oct. 10. “Unfortunately, we had to wait this long for it — but it’s worth it. To have that record and have that said about you as a class is pretty neat.” Thaddeus Lewis passed for 387 yards, three touchdowns and an interception for the Blue Devils (5-7, 3-5), who ended the season on a four-game skid after starting 5-3. Lewis, who added a 1-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter, became the 60th player in Football Bowl Subdivision history to pass for 10,000 career yards. Donovan Varner, who caught two touchdown passes for Duke, set career highs with 11 catches for 174 yards.
Varner became the third player in Duke history to surpass 1,000 receiving yards in a season, but it was Skinner who stole the show. “We just couldn’t get to him,” Duke coach David Cutcliffe said. “To his credit, he stepped up and did what he’s done his whole career.” The Demon Deacons, who led 21-17 at halftime, pulled away in the third quarter. Skinner sandwiched a pair of touchdown passes around a 33-yard field goal by Duke’s Will Snyderwine to give Wake Forest a 35-20 lead entering the fourth quarter. Alex Frye returned an interception 37 yards for a touchdown with 3:26 remaining in the game

PACK WINS, from page 1B the football into the stands in celebration, then remembered he wanted to send it to Bible. So team staffers sought out the fan who had the ball and got it back, though O’Brien said he planned to send the fan another ball to replace it. Wilson said he had spoken with Bible as recently as Friday. “I felt it right here in my heart for him,” Wilson said. “He told me to persevere, he told me to keep my mind in the right spot, to play the game how I know to play the game.” Wilson completed 20 of 27 passes for 259 yards, including a 25-yard pass to Spencer on third down with about 3 minutes left that moved the chains and allowed the Wolfpack to work on the clock while the Tar Heels — who burned their final timeout with 3:16 left — could do nothing to stop them. North Carolina finally got the ball back at its 28-yard line after a fourth-down stop with 23 seconds left. T.J. Yates forced a pass to Erik Highsmith, and the throw went high and into the arms of Clem Johnson to seal the win. Yates threw two touchdown passes to Jheranie Boyd for the Tar Heels, including a 70-yarder in the final minute of the first half, while Johnny White scored on a 40-yard run that helped North
Carolina take a 24-14 halftime lead. But the Tar Heels repeatedly cost themselves with penalties and a goalline fumble by White that wiped out what should have been a first-quarter TD run. In fact, the Tar Heels had two penalties after driving inside the 10 — one holding, one personal foul — that forced them to settle for field goals. Then there was a secondquarter touchdown drive by the Wolfpack in which North Carolina’s defense was flagged twice for pass interference and once for roughing. North Carolina was penalized 10 times for 122 yards in the game. “It’s very disappointing,” Davis said. “We didn’t play very smart today.” Wilson put N.C. State on top by lofting a pass over the middle to Spencer, who sprinted away from defender Da’Norris Searcy for the 28-27 lead with 14:31 to play. Then the Wolfpack’s muchmaligned defense earned its biggest stop of the game, stringing out an end-around from Boyd for a 12-yard loss that forced the Tar Heels into a 38yard field goal attempt for the lead. Cash blocked the low kick with 4:44 to play. “They just did a good job of stealing the momentum,” North Carolina safety Deunta Williams said.
WOODS, from page 1B spokeswoman, said Woods’ agent contacted dispatch and the call was put through to the troopers, who were on their way to Woods’ house. “I don’t know what was said,” Montes said. Montes said it was “kind of normal” for Woods not to speak on Friday, the day he was treated and released from a hospital. “It is unusual that we haven’t gotten a statement,” she said. “This just delays us to getting closer to the completion of the investigation.” Montes said Woods is not required to talk to troopers in a traffic accident; they only need is driver’s license, insurance and registration. She said troopers inside the gates at Isleworth are “looking at other things for their investigation.” She said Woods’ Cadillac Escalade was not impounded, but taken to an undisclosed tow yard. She said the front and right of the SUV was damaged, and that both rear passenger windows were busted out. “We still are going to move forward with our crash investigation,” Montes said.
The 911 tapes of the crash could be released as early as Sunday. Still unanswered is where Woods was going in the wee hours of the morning after Thanksgiving Day. The police report said alcohol was not a factor. The world’s No. 1 golfer and his family live in the exclusive, gated community of Isleworth, where more than two dozen media and clusters of TV trucks were camped out Saturday. Woods is to host his Chevron World Challenge next week in Thousand Oaks, Calif., which benefits his foundation. Woods’ news conference had been scheduled for Tuesday afternoon, although it was not clear if he would still play, or even attend. “We do not know if Tiger is playing; we are anticipating a great week of competition,” said Greg McLaughlin, the tournament director and president of his foundation. One of Woods’ neighbors, who didn’t want her name to be used, said it was quiet in front of his house. She said there are usually two or three cars parked outside his home and that was the
with clients and never saw Woods the entire time she was there. “The story stands for itself,” National Enquirer executive editor Barry Levine told the AP on Saturday. Saylor described Woods’ wife as “frantic” when two officers arrived and found her kneeling over him in the street. The couple has been married five years and have two children, a 2-yearold daughter named Sam, and son Charlie who was born in February. Nordegren, a former model from Sweden who once worked as a nanny for Jesper Parnevik, is as private as Woods. She keeps a low profile at tournaments, watching her husband from behind the ropes, and moves on when photographers start taking her picture. Woods rarely faces such private scrutiny, even as perhaps the most famous active athlete in the world. He usually makes news only because of what he can do with a golf club. Few other athletes have managed to keep their private lives so guarded, or have a circle of friends so airtight when it comes to life off the
course. Woods, who is building a house in south Florida, lives in an exclusive subdivision near Orlando, a community set on an Arnold Palmer-designed golf course and a chain of small lakes. The neighborhood, which is fortified with high brick walls and has its own security force, is home to CEOs and other sports stars such as the NBA’s Shaquille O’Neal. Woods has won 82 times around the world and 14 majors, becoming the first player of black heritage to win a major at the 1997 Masters when he was 21. He won six times this year after missing eight months recovering from reconstructive surgery on his left knee. Even though he failed to win a major, Woods said he considered this a successful year because he did not know how his knee would respond. ——— AP Golf Writer Doug Ferguson in Jacksonville, Associated Press writers Tamara Lush and Lisa Orkin Emmanuel in Miami and Louise Nordstrom in Stockholm contributed to this report.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL TOP 25
BYU, LSU win in OT; Cowboys blanked by Sooners No. 1 Florida 37, Florida St. 10 GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Tim Tebow’s final home game went about like everyone expected. There were tears, touchdowns and another thumping. Tebow threw for three TDs, ran for two scores and top-ranked Florida beat rival Florida State 37-10 Saturday for its sixth consecutive victory in the heated rivalry. The Gators stayed unbeaten heading into next week’s Southeastern Conference showdown against No. 2 Alabama, extended the nation’s longest winning streak to 22 games and improved to 12-0 for just the second time in school. Tebow may have even secured a third consecutive trip to New York for the Heisman Trophy presentation. The Seminoles (6-6) lost for the second time in six games, and longtime coach Bobby Bowden’s likely finale at Florida Field showed exactly why some FSU faithful are urging him to retire: Florida outplayed its in-state rival at every position. Bowden said after the game he had some soulsearching to do before he decided if he wanted to return for one another season. Fans paid tribute to Tebow, the 2007 Heisman Trophy winner, by wearing his famed eye black. coach Urban Meyer’s wife and two daughters also donned the little oval patches. Tebow completed 17 of 21 passes for 221 yards. He also ran 15 times for 90 yards against a defense that has been among the worst of any Florida State team under Bowden. No. 4 TCU 51, New Mexico 10 FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Andy Dalton matched a career high with four touchdown passes, two to Antoine Hicks in a 12-second span, as TCU wrapped up its first undefeated regular season in 71 years. That should finally make the Horned Frogs (12-0, 8-0 Mountain West) a BCS buster, though they will have to wait another week to find out for sure whether they will get to go to one of the big-money games. Representatives from the Fiesta, Orange and Sugar bowls attended the game. Dalton threw three of his TDs over 2 1/2 minutes early in the second quarter. He also ran for a score. TCU went up 30-0 after Hicks made a 20-yard TD catch, which came immediately after New Mexico (1-11, 1-7) fumbled the kickoff following his 62-yard score when Dalton hit him in stride near the 30. Georgia 30, No. 7 Ga. Tech 24 ATLANTA (AP) — Georgia took a page out of Georgia Tech’s playbook, rushing for 339 yards to upset the seventh-ranked Yellow Jackets 30-24 Saturday night and put a real damper on the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game. Washaun Ealey rushed
the Utes (9-3, 6-2). The game was decided by a touchdown or less for the 11th time in 13 meetings. The victorious Cougars finished with just 265 yards of offense.

Georgia Tech’s loss completed a dismal day for the two teams that will meet next week in Tampa, Fla., for the ACC title. Earlier, Clemson was blown out by South Carolina 34-17.
Oklahoma 27, No. 11 Oklahoma State 0 NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — DeMarco Murray ran for two touchdowns, Ryan Broyles returned a punt 88 yards for a score and Oklahoma knocked Oklahoma State out of contention for its first appearance in the BCS. With representatives of the Fiesta and Orange bowls watching on, the Cowboys (9-3, 6-2 Big 12) fell completely flat with their worst offensive performance of the decade. Oklahoma State was shut out for the first time since 2005 by an Oklahoma (7-5, 5-3) defense coming off its worst outing of the year in a loss at Texas Tech last week. Zac Robinson of the Cowboys threw for only 44 yards on 9-for-21 passing after missing last week’s game with injuries to his head and shoulder. No. 14 Virginia Tech 42, Virginia 13 CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — Ryan Williams ran for 182 yards and four touchdowns and Virginia Tech beat Virginia in what was likely Al Groh’s last game as Cavaliers coach. The Hokies (9-3, 6-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) won their sixth straight in the series and for the 10th time 11 meetings with the Cavaliers (3-9, 2-6). It was their eighth victory in nine games against Groh, and ended Virginia’s worst season since it finished 2-9 in 1982. Groh, who has a contract clause requiring that the school inform him by Nov. 30 if it plans to add a year, is expected to instead be fired. Virginia has had three losing seasons in the last four and its average attendance has fallen by nearly 14,000 in two years. South Carolina 34, No. 15 Clemson 17 COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Stephen Garcia threw three touchdown passes and South Carolina’s defense slowed down Clemson star C.J. Spiller.
Spiller opened the game with an 88-yard kickoff return for a touchdown, an NCAA record- setting seventh of his career. But the Gamecocks (7-5) bottled up Spiller and Clemson’s high-scoring offense after that to end the Tigers’ sixgame win streak. Clemson (8-4) had won two straight, six out of seven and 10 of 12 against the Gamecocks, who had only one victory over the Tigers in the last 10 games at Williams-Brice Stadium. That changed against a South Carolina defense ranked third in the Southeastern Conference and fresh from a week off. Clemson had just 260 yards of offense and Spiller finished with 18 yards rushing and 19 receiving.
No. 17 LSU 33, Arkansas 30, OT BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Josh Jasper hit a 41-yard field goal with 4 seconds to go to force overtime, then made a 36-yarder in overtime to lift LSU to a 33-30 victory over Arkansas on Saturday night. Alex Tejada missed a 36-yard field goal that could have forced a second OT, and Arkansas (7-5, 3-5 Southeastern Conference) just missed a remarkable comeback bid, highlighted by Ryan Mallet’s fourthdown touchdown pass to Joe Adams with 1:18 left, which gave the Razorbacks a 30-27 lead. Jordan Jefferson threw for touchdown passes to Brandon LaFell and DeAngelo Peterson, and Trindon Holliday had an 87-yard punt return for a touchdown for LSU (9-3, 5-3), which could sneak into a New Year’s Day bowl game because of Mississippi’s loss earlier Saturday.
No. 19 Miami 31, South Florida 10 TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Javarris James rushed for two touchdowns, Jacory Harris threw for two more, and Miami took a big early lead on the way to beating South Florida. Dedrick Epps and Leonard Hankerson caught touchdown passes for Miami (9-3), which ran out to a 21-3 halftime lead and capped its first nine-win regular season since 2005. A bowl victory would give Miami its first 10-win season since 2003. Damien Berry rushed for 114 yards and Graig Cooper added 83 more for Miami, which played without ill left tackle Jason Fox and still rolled. A.J. Love caught a 12yard touchdown pass for South Florida (7-4), which closes its regular season at Connecticut next Saturday. The Bulls fell to 10-2 against teams from the state of Florida, with both those losses against Miami. Mississippi State 41, No. 20 Mississippi 27 STARKVILLE, Miss. (AP) — Little-used backup quarterback Chris Relf accounted for three touchdowns, Anthony Dixon set the Mississippi State single-season rushing record and the Bulldogs earned an Egg Bowl upset. Ole Miss (8-4, 4-4 SEC) couldn’t stop the one-two combination of Relf and Dixon, who finished with 133 yards and a touchdown. Dixon has 1,390 yards in 11 games, breaking James Johnson’s school record by seven yards. The defense also came up with several big plays, including a 64-yard interception return for a touchdown by Corey Broomfield that sealed the victory. Charles Mitchell added two interceptions for the Bulldogs (5-7, 3-5),. Jevan Snead passed for 275 yards for the Rebels (8-4, 4-4).
No. 18 BYU 26, No. 22 Utah 23, OT PROVO, Utah (AP) — Max Hall threw a 25-yard touchdown pass in overtime to Andrew George for the Cougars’ third victory in four years in the in-state rivalry. Hall found George open for a quick dump-off over the middle and George had nobody between him and the goal line, hugging the ball with both hands as he went for the winning score for the Cougars (10-2, 7-1 Mountain West). George was mobbed first by his teammates, then by fans who ran down from the stands. A few minutes later the field was covered with blue-clad fans, who were still celebrating a win in another thriller against
No. 25 Houston 73, Rice 14 HOUSTON (AP) — Case Keenum threw for 323 yards and two touchdowns and ran for another in the first half and No. 25 Houston cruised to a 73-14 win over Rice on Saturday night to capture the Conference USA West division title. The win avenges last year’s 56-42 loss to the rival Owls which kept the Cougars out of the C-USA championship game. Tyron Carrier returned the opening kickoff 99 yards for a score and Houston tied a school record with 59 first-half points to get its place in next Saturday’s title game at East Carolina. With this one wrapped up at halftime, Keenum and many of Houston’s other starters didn’t play after the break. Charles Sims added a pair of scores for Houston (10-2, 6-2) and Carrier scored on a 37-yard run in the second quarter to break a two-game winning streak for Rice (2-10, 2-6) which opened the season 0-9.
Times Thansgiving Classic third-place game. According to coach Vangie Mitchell, the Vikings (1-2) were able to pull away from a tight game by forcing turnovers with their full court press and hitting crucial
free throws down the stretch. Michelle Jones, Ciarea Thompson and Jasmine Evans paced Northern with nine points apiece. The Lady Vikings face Warren County on Tuesday at 6 p.m.

Eagles hand Terps 10th loss By DAVID GINSBURG AP Sports Writer
COLLEGE PARK, Md. — Montel Harris ran for 142 yards, Dave Shinskie threw a 66-yard touchdown pass, and Boston College beat Maryland 19-17 Saturday to seal the Terrapins’ first 10loss season. Steve Aponavicius kicked four field goals for Boston College (8-4, 5-3 Atlantic Coast Conference). But the standout senior was wide right on a 31-yarder, ruining what had been a perfect season. Aponavicius made 37 straight conversions and was 12-for-12 on field goal tries before the third-quarter miss. He did, however, secure the victory with a 42-yard field goal with 3:59 left — the Eagles’ only points of the second half. Maryland used a 28-yard touchdown pass from Jamarr Robinson to Torrey Smith to close the lead to 19-17 with 1:34 to go, but Boston College recovered the onside kick. Harris carried 41 times in his seventh 100-yard game of the year. Next up for the Eagles: An invitation to a bowl game for the 11th consecutive season. The Terrapins (2-10, 1-7) finished with seven straight losses and a school-record 10 defeats. The skid has raised
questions about the job security of coach Ralph Friedgen, who has two years left on a contract that pays him $2 million annually. Maryland was penalized eight times for 65 yards and managed only 61 yards rushing. Aponavicius kicked three field goals in the first half, including two in the final 4 minutes, to help Boston College take a 16-10 lead. Starting at quarterback for Maryland after being sidelined for two weeks with a knee injury, senior Chris Turner began his final college game by directing a 66-yard drive that produced a field goal. But Turner was roughed up on the next two possessions, failed to get a first down and was replaced by Robinson. Turner did, however, play most of the second half and finished 11 for 17 for 101 yards. The Eagles gained 119 yards in the first quarter in going up 10-3. After Shinskie and Colin Larmond hooked up on a third-and-17 for a 66yard touchdown — BC’s longest pass play of the season — Aponavicius kicked a field goal on BC’s next drive. Maryland pulled even behind Robinson, who went 4 for 4 for 50 yards in a march that ended with a 3-yard TD run by Da’Rel Scott.
Stanford beats Notre Dame in Weis’ possible finale By JOSH DUBOW AP Sports Writer
STANFORD, Calif. — Toby Gerhart turned what could be Charlie Weis’ final game as Notre Dame coach into his own Heisman Trophy infomercial. Gerhart ran for 205 yards and three scores, threw an 18-yard touchdown pass and scored the game-winning touchdown with 59 seconds left to help Stanford hand Weis and the Fighting Irish a fourth straight loss to end the regular season, 45-38 Saturday night. On a night when Jimmy Clausen and Golden Tate put on an aerial show for the Irish (6-6) in a showcase for Weis’ offense, it was Gerhart who won the game for Stanford (8-4) and possibly earned a trip to New York as a Heisman Trophy finalist in two weeks. He threw his touchdown pass to Ryan Whalen on fourth-and-4 to help the Cardinal tie the game early in the fourth quarter and then won it with his 4-yard run in the final minute. After Stanford stopped
Robert Hughes on thirdand-2 from the Irish 35 with less than 6 minutes left, Gerhart carried seven times for 54 yards on the winning drive, bowling over would-be tacklers before scoring his 26th rushing touchdown of the season. The fans chanted “To-by! Toby!” throughout the drive. Clausen and Tate weren’t done, driving to the 24 before Chase Thomas sacked Clausen at the 31. On the final play, Clausen’s desperation heave into the end zone was batted down by Michael Thomas, giving Stanford its first win against Notre Dame since 2001. Weis could be done too after falling to 35-27 in five seasons as Irish coach. He was set to go back to Indiana with the team instead of going on a recruiting trip as originally planned and will meet soon with athletic director Jack Swarbrick. “We’ll engage in the evaluation in earnest following this game and we’ll go from there,” Swarbrick said before the game, adding that no potential candidates have been contacted.

reserve this week with a sprained MCL. Na’il Diggs also has a rib injury and may not play, potentially leaving James Anderson and Dan Connor as the starters next to Jon Beason in the middle. “That’s the story of our life this year as far as the Carolina Panthers are concerned: a lot of injuries,” Beason said. “But guys are still stepping up and doing fairly well.” The Jets know all about playing without key players. Running back-kick returner Leon Washington was lost for the season last month to a broken leg last month, a week after nose tackle Kris Jenkins went on season-ending injured reserve with a knee injury. “I don’t think there’s any doubt you can use that (as an excuse), especially if guys aren’t playing very well,” Delhomme said of teams missing key players. “That can be a crutch to say, ’We don’t have the same team.’ But that don’t matter. That happens. Other guys are stepping in and fighting their tails off.” ——— AP Sports Writer Mike Cranston in Charlotte, N.C., contributed to this report.

Walt and Vern narrowly miss another first-place finish While I was only kidding when I told the team of Brian Grady and Richard Cooper that I hoped they would come in second in Chuck Murray’s N.C. Bass Federation Open Tournament last Saturday on Kerr Lake, apparently they took me to task. Vern and I fished together in the team event and things started off exactly like they were when I left them on Kerr the weekend before. Pulling up to the rocky point where I had landed over 50 nice keepers on my way to winning a small tournament the previous Sunday, it was clear that the fish were still there as both Vern and I began landing good fish on chartreuse crank baits right off the bat. Less than 30 minutes
after we started fishing, the live well contained a nice seven-fish limit that included what turned out to be the big fish for the day, one close to 4 pounds that hit Walt Vern’s Bowen Lucky On the Water Craft Weekly crank bait. Then it was like a light switch was turned off, and despite returning to that spot four more times during the day, we never caught another keeper there. I think the approaching cold front must have shut off the bite. We
were able to catch a few more nice fish on deep brush piles during the day, culling one last time at around 2:30 p.m. The weigh-in was at 3:30 p.m. after being extended 30 minutes, and that 30 minutes was probably what pushed us out of first place by one-100th of a pound. The winners reported culling three times in the last 30 minutes on their way to a 16.91 pound sack, barely edging out our 16.90 sack. That’s less than one good-sized fish poop, or a few scales that got knocked off in handling. Once, when I was making a culling decision between two fish that balanced exactly the same on the balance beam, I jokingly remarked to Vern
that I should keep the skinniest one as the fat one might poop and lose weight. I ended up throwing the skinniest one back, and perhaps that was the fraction that did it. That one-100th of a pound kept me from being able to claim first place in tournaments three weeks in a row, but even so, I was very lucky to catch the fish I did and do as well as I did. These last couple of months have been a great end to a good season, and I hope to be able to take it up a notch next year. The striper reportedly were busting all over the place from Eastland Creek to Grassy Creek last Saturday. I went out early Sunday morning looking for them and never did spot any, but there were a number of boats out strip-
er fishing. It was really cold Sunday and I think that kept them down. As the weather over the next month cools the water temperatures below 50 degrees, be prepared to catch stripers on live bait on down lines and planer boards, as well as a variety of other fish on jigging spoons. I like to fish in the first third of Butchers Creek in December and January, as there are a lot of good drops that usually hold bass, stripers, catfish, crappie and white perch. Use Kastmaster or Hopkins spoons and find the depth of the fish on your fish finder (usually from 18 – 25 feet down), then start jigging. Measure your lure down by pulling line off the reel with your hand and counting how many pulls you make to
the first eye on your rod, which I measure before leaving home. If there is 18 inches between the reel and the first eye, 10 full pulls will put the bait down at around 15 feet. Next week’s article – From Murphy to Manteo, where will we go. My wife and I are headed somewhere in the camper with our dog Fred, but we haven’t decided exactly where just yet. We may just pull to the end of the driveway after polishing off the Thanksgiving meal and then toss a coin to decide whether to go left or right. Tip of the week – Never prod a sleeping dog (or is it let sleeping dogs lie/lay?). Contact the writer at waltbowen@yahoo.com.

Charlotte forward Gerald Wallace goes to the basket against Washington forward Caron Butler during the first half of Saturday’s game.
Wallace’s double-double leads Bobcats past Wizards WASHINGTON (AP) — The Charlotte Bobcats have never made the playoffs. They’ve never had a .500 record. But after their easy 92-76 win over the Washington Wizards on Saturday night, the Bobcats were feeling especially confident. Their first road win this season was their fourth straight overall — the team’s longest streak since a five-game run from Feb. 25-March 7, 2009 — and improved them to 7-9. The Bobcats had six players in double figures, led by Gerald Wallace, who had 14 points and 14 rebounds. Tyson Chandler, Raymond Felton and Nazr Mohammed each had 12 points. “Our offense was kind of spread around tonight,” Wallace said. “Defense has basically been the key throughout our whole season.” The Wizards failed in their attempt to win three in a row for the first time since April 2008. Charlotte never trailed and held Washington to 13 points in the second quarter to take a 42-32 halftime lead. The Wizards missed 14 of their 18 field goal attempts in the quarter. The Bobcats scored seven of the first nine points in the third to take a 49-34 lead with 8:19 to play. They led by as many as 22 late in the third quarter. Charlotte continued its run of outstanding defense. The Bobcats have allowed 100 points just once this season, and the 76 points scored by the Wizards equaled their lowest output of the
season. “We defended against a team that can score about as well as we can,” Charlotte coach Larry Brown said. Wallace, who had 31 points in the Bobcats’ two previous wins, has bought into Brown’s defensive mantra. “Man, defense kept us in some games and gave us an opportunity to win some games when we were making shots. And when we wasn’t making shots, it kept us from getting totally blown out,” Wallace said. Both teams played on Friday night and the Wizards appeared especially drained. “Disappointed, embarrassed, mad. I guess all of them could be adjectives to describe how we played tonight,” Washington coach Flip Saunders said. Gilbert Arenas, who had just nine points in Friday’s win over Miami and was replaced in the fourth quarter by 5-foot-5 Earl Boykins, missed eight of his 11 shots and finished with six points. “What do you expect me to do? Go out there and score 30?” Arenas said. “I take the shots when I think they’re suitable for me ... I still have my explosiveness. I’m just trying to figure out when to use it.” Antawn Jamison was held without a rebound, and Boykins wasn’t effective either, despite Saunders’ pre-game praise of Boykins as a fourthquarter standout. Boykins missed seven of his 10 shots and finished with six points. Caron Butler led Washington with 19 points.
Warren County’s Christian Buffaloe, 10, recently passed a highlevel examination in New York City for a Fourth Kyu (Green Belt) ranking in kyokushin karate. Buffaloe is the son and student of local kyokushin instructor Kenny Buffaloe. Christian was tested at the Japanese-run headquarters school in New York City by several highranking kyokushin karate instructors from Japan. After over three grueling hours of being tested on his technique, power and spirit, Christian was officially promoted to Fourth Kyu — a high level in kyokushin. In kyokushin, the Kumite (fighting) portion of the test is the most important requirement, constituting 70 percent of the entire test. The Kumite is full-contact against multiple opponents. “Due to his advanced level, Christian was required to do his test with all adults, having to fight several full-contact rounds continuously,” said Kenny. Kenny said Christian, the two-time Kyokushin

Sabres score five in third, beat Canes 5-1 BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — One spectacular save was enough to spark the Buffalo Sabres. With Buffalo down 1-0, the game turned when Ryan Miller made a spectacular diving glove stop on a rebound attempt by Carolina captain Rod Brind’Amour from the left circle while the Hurricanes were short-handed late in the period. The block proved to be the catalyst for the Sabres, who scored five times in the third period to keep the Hurricanes winless on the road with a 5-1 victory Saturday night. “It was a wakeup call for us,” said forward Mike Grier, who started the third-period rally by banging home a rebound 2 minutes in. “It made us realize that, ’Hey, we need to get going.”’ Get going they did. The Sabres shrugged off their slow start to win their second straight after a four-game winless streak. “That was probably the turning point of the game,” Brind’Amour said about being robbed by Miller. “If we go up 2-0, it’s a way different game. Right at the end of the period and short-handed, that would probably deflate them instead of giving them a big lift.” It was the second straight night that the

Carolina center Stephane Yelle falls to the ice in avoiding a collision with Buffalo goalie Ryan Miller during the first period of Saturday’s game. Hurricanes were unable to preserve a third-period lead. Atlanta erased a three-goal deficit Friday by scoring five goals in the final frame against Carolina in a 6-4 win. Thomas Vanek, Derek Roy and Jochen Hecht had a goal and assist each, and Clarke MacArthur also scored for Buffalo (14-7-2). The Sabres trudged through a sloppy second period in which they were slow to loose pucks, and consistently bottled up by Carolina’s forecheck. But Miller’s denial of Brind’Amour elevated the energy both on the ice and in the crowd. After the save was replayed on the video screen a minute later, the fans
gave Miller, who finished with 30 stops overall, a standing ovation. “Even most guys on the bench got up and couldn’t believe it,” Sabres coach Lindy Ruff said. “I didn’t believe it until I saw him throw it out. That picks a team up, and it’s one of those real special saves.” It’s been anything but special for the last-place Hurricanes (5-16-5), who remain the NHL’s lone team without a win away from home (0-10-3). The last NHL team to open with 13 straight winless road games or more was the 2003-04 Columbus Blue Jackets, who started 0-11-2 with one tie away from home. “It’s no fun here right
now,” center Eric Staal said. “Obviously, we’re fragile. That’s two games in a row where the third period comes around and we lose both. That’s the sign of a team that isn’t feeling it.” Matt Cullen scored for Carolina, and Michael Leighton made 19 saves in his fourth start of the season, and first in nearly two weeks after sustaining a lower-body injury. After Grier broke through, MacArthur followed by giving the Sabres their first lead, redirecting a pass on the power play from Roy at 4:33 to make it 2-1. Roy made it 3-1 when he shoveled in a loose puck in the crease after Jason Pominville kicked it toward the net from the slot, and Hecht made it 4-1 with another powerplay goal midway through the third. Cullen opened the scoring at 8:19 of the first period, converting a turnover by Buffalo defenseman Tyler Myers at the Sabres’ blue line. Cullen went in and backhanded the puck past Miller. The Sabres were without captain Craig Rivet (leg) and center Paul Gaustad (knee), while Carolina played without defenseman Joni Pitkanen, who sustained an upper-body injury on Friday against Atlanta.

Macy’s Parade Studio Vice President John Piper (above) talks about the process of designing a Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade Balloon from conception to inflation at the design studio in Hoboken, N.J. (at right).
Thanksgiving all year long
Macy’s parade guru John Piper never stops thinking about floats and balloons By SAMANTHA CRITCHELL AP Fashion Writer
HOBOKEN, N.J. — The scene around him in a vast industrial space looks like Santa’s Workshop, but John Piper, the man behind Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade, compares organizing the annual extravaganza to planning a huge holiday meal — with a lot of trimmings. He needs to serve up something for the traditionalists as well as those seeking a little variety. He also needs to include old friends but invite new ones to the party as well. This year, Santa Claus got his first new float in 40 years and the new balloons included Sailor Mickey, the parade’s fourth incarnation of Mickey Mouse; Spider-Man; Ronald McDonald; and the Pillsbury Doughboy. It was the second version of Spider-Man that flew through the streets of New York on Thanksgiving Day and the third Ronald, this one with enormous feet on speed skates that posed Piper with more than a few technical challenges. Sometimes Piper invites for a return engagement a balloon character or a float theme that had taken a break but might click with a new audience, he explains. Snoopy has been the most popular character
Piper fixes a sash on one of Santa’s reindeer. over the years, boasting six different versions. Personally, Piper would like to bring back Underdog but there hasn’t been an occasion for that — at least not yet. Still, he can’t pick a favorite even if it seems like everyone else can. “I love them all. If I had my way, we’d have a parade every week and fly them all.” He adds: “The thing that surprises me about all of
them (the balloons) is that everyone has their own favorite. Back to the meal, everyone likes the whole dinner but everyone has a favorite dish.” Popularity isn’t the only factor in keeping or losing a balloon, says Piper, as some are retired because they’re no longer fit to fly and there are corporate partnerships to be considered. There also are the
parade’s old standbys, like the clowns and the marching bands, that Piper compares to the brownand-serve rolls on the table that everyone loves — and the meal wouldn’t be complete without — but aren’t the headline-grabbers. The only litmus test for any of the elements is that it can bring a smile to someone’s face, says Piper. “We talk about the parade as being fun for children,
but we’re not talking children by stature. There’s a child in everyone and we want them to have a good time.” “We’ve taken on the role of gatekeeper to the holiday,” he says. The Macy’s parade tradition started in 1924 and took a break only during World War II. (The balloons actually were dismantled and the materials used in the war effort as
the light aircraft called dirigibles.) Then and now, it’s the retailer’s employees and their friends and family members that put on the bulk of the show, including the balloon handlers who, in the offseason, practice special training flights. The only requirements are that handlers are at least 18 years old and weigh 125 pounds or more. The balloons start as a pencil sketch and then are turned into a full-color rendering. Those are turned into three-dimensional designs built on a 1:24 scale using a steel frame covered with clay. That’s the last chance to make any changes, Piper explains. Approved designs are then poured into silicon molds, hardened, and then those molds are emptied to become negative-space models; there are always two — one kept white with all the technical drawings marked with inflation and deflation points, and weight and balance notes, and the other is a color version so everyone will know what the balloon will actually look like. It’s a nine-month process, according to Piper, who boasts that in his 29 years working on the parade, he’s never not had one fly although the square SpongeBob Squarepants and gangly Kermit the Frog were touch-and-go for a while. After the parade each year, the balloons, floats and assorted accessories head back through the Lincoln Tunnel to the former Tootsie Roll factory that acts as parade central. Deflated balloons are stowed in colorful bags, ranging in size from a jumbo load of laundry to a king-size bed. Piper and his team gathered the day after Thanksgiving at the studio for their own feast. He watched a recorded version of the parade on TV — and then starts thinking about the next year. “It’s always on its way to Thanksgiving for me. It’s the first and last day of the year,” Piper says. Clay model sculptures are used in the process of designing a Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade balloon.

Victoria Bradsher is shown in her classroom at Eaton-Johnson Middle School as she holds some of the books she uses to teach her eighth-grade math classes. She is purchasing a 56book set and an LCD projector with Bright Ideas grant funds to use in her classes.
Bradsher wins award for having a bright idea Victoria Bradsher, who teaches eighth-grade math at Eaton-Johnson Middle School, has been awarded a $475 grant from the Bright Ideas grant program through Wake Electric Corporation. Bradsher will use the grant funding to purchase a set of books and an LCD projector for her classroom. The books and projector will be used for all 96 of her students in the eighth grade. “This is really about reading in math class,” Bradsher said about the materials she plans to purchase. “The books have stories and illustrate math measurements and applications. The projector will enable me to show each book through the projector and onto the wall of the classroom so that all of the students can see it.” Bradsher also plans to connect her laptop computer to the projector to enhance her math instruction with
her students. She has already used some of the books which will be contained in the new 56book set she will purchase. “My students just love the books,” she said. “They help them see how we get our math answers. It’s another way to engage them in problem solving.” Bradsher says she uses lots of teaching techniques to engage her students and keep their attention. For example, with the High Noon math reading book, she will dress, talk and act like a cowboy as she goes over the contents of the book with her students and helps them work through the math questions raised in the book. “You have to be creative to get their attention and keep it,” Bradsher, who works with lower achieving students, said. “You can’t just stand in front of the
class and talk. They will get bored, lose interest and tune out.” In notifying Bradsher of her grant award, Angela Perez of Wake Electric Corporation, stated, “Your application was a stand out, and your commitment to the education of our state’s youth is evident. Just like you, North Carolina’s electric cooperatives are dedicated to bettering the communities in which we serve, and we believe education is the key. We hope this grant funding will be beneficial to both you and your students and will encourage even more innovation in your classroom.” Since the Bright Ideas program began in 1994, more than $6.5 million has been awarded to sponsor more than 5,900 projects reaching more than one million students.

These students are cookin’!
Old North State Tea Society welcomes new members
Students in culinary arts classes at Northern Vance High School are shown above in the kitchen of their classroom after they captured ribbons in cooking competitions held at the Vance County Regional Fair in October. The students and the ribbons they earned include: (front row, from left) Jebora Gray, first place; Leyona Kelly, first place; Sequoia Epps, “Best in Show,” and Keishanna Turner, first place; (back row, from left) Chelsea Troutman, third place; Chelsea Wade, first place; and Taniqua Evans, first place. The students are taught by Julie Sokol at Northern Vance, and along with fellow classmates entered 48 total entries in the competition at the regional fair. Epps’ “Best in Show” award was for a cake that she baked.
Elaine Webb earns national teaching recertification Elaine Webb, a career and technical education teacher at Southern Vance High School, has earned her recertification from the National Webb Board for Professional Teaching Standards. Webb found out in late October that she was suc-
cessful in seeking national recertification. She joins Susan Fletcher at Aycock Elementary School, as the only two local teachers to earn their recertification. National certification for a teacher is good for 10 years. Webb sought her recertification in her ninth year to ensure she would obtain the achievement before the end of her certification. “You earn your recertification in four professional
development areas, and the process really is a way to evaluate how you have progressed as a teacher and how you have used national certification strategies,” Webb said. “I think this is a way to let my students know that in whatever you do you must continue to grow and get better,” she added. “My students are why I do what I do. They are my customers, so I need to
do whatever I can to help them be successful.” Webb also mentioned that she owes a lot of thanks to her husband, Larry, who is the principal at Eaton-Johnson Middle School, and their daughter, Annabelle, a student at Eaton-Johnson, for their support of her efforts during the many months it took for her to complete the recertification process.

telling stall tales.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Take pride in what you do. Presenting your talents will attract positive attention. Don’t let someone overpower or force you to take on responsibilities that aren’t yours. Think fast and act responsibly. 3 stars TAURUS (April 20-May 20): If you meddle or get involved in someone else’s affairs, you will pay a hefty price. Improve your attitude and contribute to a healthier approach to any financial, legal or physical matters. Make up your mind and take action. 3 stars GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You can resolve any personal issues you have with a partner and bring about the changes you want at home and to your surroundings. Budget wisely. Added discipline will help you establish your goals. 3 stars CANCER (June 21-July 22): Personal problems due to an older relative will be limiting. Do not miss out on an event or activity that can bring you in touch with people you have worked with in the past. Love is in the picture. 4 stars LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You will win the support of someone you need on your side in order to press ahead with the personal changes you want to make. A false impression regarding someone’s assets will lead you astray. Don’t invest your cash in someone else’s future. 2 stars VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Expect visitors or to be contacted by someone who can influence your way of thinking. Before you follow a different path, take a serious look at the end result it will bring to you and the people around you. Speak openly about your findings, thoughts or plans. 5 stars LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Communication will be your ticket to change. You will come up with some interesting ideas that can alter your looks, image and appeal. A hobby can be cultivated and turned into a sideline that generates extra cash. Don’t let an older relative or friend dictate what you can and cannot do. 3 stars SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Overindulgence will cause you to misinterpret what’s being offered or said. Don’t take chances that could disrupt your home and family life. You will regret it if you reconnect with an ex-lover. Stick close to the people who have always been there for you. 3 stars SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): A reverse decision may leave you in the lurch. A financial gain is apparent but don’t use unorthodox means to get ahead. Abide by the rules. 3 stars CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Make alterations at home to take care of some complications that have developed. You can right a wrong and take care of personal papers or a debt that is owed. Do something nice for the person you are closest to. 5 stars AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t be fooled by someone telling you that everything is OK when it isn’t. Read between the lines. Consider alternative options regarding a school you want to attend or a job you want to pursue. 2 stars PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Impulsive action due to a false assumption will lead to personal problems. Sending off your resume or finding out more about the location of a company and what it has to offer will spark ideas, ensuring a good shot at getting what you want. 4 stars Happy Birthday: Look at possibilities to bring in extra cash or make your life easier. You can invest in your own abilities and turn what you learn into a profit. There is no time to waste — start making your life the way you envision it. You will be successful. Your numbers are 2, 9, 15, 22, 26, 30, 42 For those born on this date: You strive for stability. You are inventive and willing to try the unknown if it will help you get to where you want to go.

President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama are seen before they welcome India’s Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and his wife Gursharan Kaur to a state dinner at the North Portico of the White House this past week.
First lady wears Naeem Khan gown to state dinner By SAMANTHA CRITCHELL AP Fashion Writer
First Lady Michelle Obama chose to wear a gleaming silver-sequined, flesh-colored gown this past week to the first state dinner held by her husband’s administration. She was tending to her hostess duties in a strapless silhouette with the beads forming an abstract floral pattern that was custommade by Naeem Khan. She wore a matching wrap, a stack of bangle bracelets on her wrist and dangling earrings. The guests of honor at the dinner were Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and his wife, Gursharan Kaur, making Mrs. Obama’s choice of the Indian-born, U.S.-based designer seem very appropriate. At a preview of the event, Mrs. Obama wore a skirt by Rachel Roy, also an Indian-American. “That gave us a preview that she was going to use clothes to convey a meaning,” said Mary Tomer, author of the new book “Mrs. O: The Face of Fashion Democracy.” “They were really thoughtful choices,” she said. “The nice thing about it is the Jackie Kennedy sort of appropriateness. Most people wouldn’t know one way or another about Naeem’s background, but if one sentence gets mentioned to the prime minister, then her subtleness would pay off,” added Hal Rubenstein, fashion director for InStyle magazine. Khan told CNN’s Larry King that his goals were
to dress the first lady in something “Indian, chic, simple but very glamorous.” Rubenstein said he was impressed that Mrs. Obama used her fashion knowledge to choose a sophisticated and regal style that paid homage to India without wearing a traditional sari-style dress, which could have come off as a costume next to India’s first lady. “I think she looks fabulous,” said Tomer. “She walked out in something that’s figure-flattering and chic. Naeem’s work is known for glamour and embellishment and this dress seems to embody that. She’s sparkling and radiant.” Designer Khan is no stranger to helping women make a grand entrance; he has become a fixture on the Hollywood redcarpet circuit, dressing Beyonce, Carrie Underwood, Katherine Heigl and even Queen Noor of Jordan. Mrs. Obama’s gown took three weeks at the designer’s family workshop in India — with 40 people working on it — to complete, Khan said. Of Mrs. Obama, Rubenstein said: “She looks like she’s worth her weight in solid gold. What I love about her is that it’s a pleasure to watch a woman of size and stature not apologize for her height and know how to stand tall.” President Barack Obama also drew Rubenstein’s praise in his classicstyle tuxedo. “I often feel Obama’s suits are too big on him, but I think he got a new tux.”

Touch of glamour brightens a room By JAMIE STENGLE Associated Press Writer
DALLAS — From colorful glass pieces giving off sparkle to lamps and mirrors that play with the light, adding glamour to a room is easy — and something people are seeking, says interior designer Jan Showers. “I just think everybody really loves being glamorous,” said Showers, whose book, Glamorous Rooms, (Abrams) was released this fall. It features the Dallas designer’s elegant style, from a living room done in yellow-gold with robin’segg-blue chairs and a large mirror in a gold frame to a dining room done in white with a Murano chandelier reflected in a mirror. The latest issue of House Beautiful magazine identifies “the glams” as one of today’s four big design forces. “Glamour is all about looking good, feeling good and loving seeing that reflection of yourself,” said the magazine’s Editor-inChief Stephen Drucker. With the economic downturn, clients want a touch of glamour more than ever, designers say. Showers said she sees glamour as a room or person with great style — Audrey Hepburn, for example. “Glamour always makes people feel good,” said Charles Pavarini III, a Manhattan designer. Sharon McCormick, a designer in Durham, Conn., said more clients are opting to redecorate
rather than “move up” to a bigger home. “The recession kind of made people appreciate their homes and being home more,” she said. One of Showers’ clients is Kimberly Schlegel Whitman, an author of books on entertaining who has worked with the designer over the past decade, from her first apartment to the home she now shares in Dallas with her husband and child. She said she appreciates Showers’ process of finding inspiration in old movies and giving it a modern look. “The rooms that she creates, you feel like a Hollywood movie
star in them, but they’re functional too,” said Whitman, whose library is done in a deep navy blue lacquer, while her living room is bathed in yellow, white and pale gray. “I think it’s really important for your home to be a place where you can relax, but feel your best,” she said. Adding some glamour can be done on any budget, Showers said, and can be as simple as buying new throw pillows, getting beautiful books to display, finding elegant glass pieces to place on tables, and hanging mirrors. “Create a shimmer and shine in
your room. It really does change things up and that’s glamorous,” said Showers, who composes at least monthly a blog on her Web site that offers tips on everything from decorating to books to art exhibits to travel. Making rooms inviting with comfortable furniture is part of creating a glamorous space, she added. She suggests arranging living room furniture so there are two seating areas — even if one is just a corner with a lamp, chair and table. “There’s nothing more glamorous than having people in a room. Do things to invite people in,” she said.
Lighting can have a big impact on a room and is often overlooked. Good lighting can make you and your guests look good, said Showers, who prefers the more flattering light from lamps to overhead lighting. Pavarini said putting lamps on dimmers can add sexiness to a room. He also likes displaying candlesticks of different heights and finishes. “It always looks much more glamorous in a room when your lighting is dimmed and there are different levels,” Pavarini said. “It focuses your eye.” McCormick advises throwing an unexpected item into a decorating scheme to tell guests something about you and act as a conversation starter — a favorite book, for instance, or souvenirs from a trip. If you can’t afford an interior designer, Showers said, figure out your own style by getting a stack of decorating magazines and tearing out what you find appealing — then look for the elements that keep reappearing. She also recommends buying well-made furniture that isn’t trendy, and choosing quality over quantity. “The test is, will I like this piece of furniture 10 years from now?” she said.

RIGHT AT HOME: Bedding trends to fight insomnia By KIM COOK For The Associated Press
If you’ve tossed all night because you were hot, restless or uncomfortable, read on. Manufacturers are developing new ways to combat insomnia, including some technologies introduced at this fall’s Las Vegas Furniture Market and High Point Market, two of the country’s largest trade shows. The hottest trends: — Anti-sweat mattresses use new 3D fabrics that circulate air so you sleep cooler. Dormia and Hollandia International’s versions are priced in the $1,500-$2,800 range for queen size. — Homeopathic mattresses impregnated with essential oils like lavender, chamomile, rose and calendula have long been popular in Europe; now it’s our turn. The scents are natural relaxants, and some even have anti-bacterial properties. Nanotechnology infuses millions of lavender microcapsules into the mattress’ cover; when you lie down, some of the capsules break, releasing the fragrance. Magniflex’s Lavender
Comfort queen is $1,899. — Organic bedding can help people with allergies and those susceptible to chemicals emitted by synthetic materials. Eco-friendly wool, cotton, solid wood and natural rubber latex is produced by companies like Northern California’s OMI, which was co-founded by author Walter Bader, who suffers from chemical sensitivity himself. Their OrganicPedic Sierra is $1,995, while Ecomfort’s plant-based foam mattress and Aireloom’s certified organic cotton version are in the $1,000 to $3,000 range, depending on size. — Lightweight futons are also new, replacing the bulky traditional standby. Futons are finding favor with those unwilling to spend on pricey, space-gobbling sofa beds. The new versions use refined foam engineering to make a plush, versatile, durable sleep surface.
This product image, released by Hollandia, shows the 3D Anti-Sweat mattress. The 3D fabric has raised fibers for maximum air circulation and the core is a naturally ventilating Talalay latex.
According to Michael Nermon, vice president of the Specialty Sleep Association, other trends include customized mattresses with one firm side and one soft one. Advancements in the American bedding industry in recent years mean consumers can shop for more domestic products, too. And personal technology demands have led manufacturers to design command central beds, complete with iPod docking stations
and TVs. Just remember, multitaskers: Use that command post as a comfy “office” during the day, but turn it all off at night. Experts say you need to calm your brain with a book, quiet conversation or solitary reverie to get a good sleep. Some tips from the National Sleep Foundation: 1. A supple, comforting mattress is better than a too-firm one, especially if you have back pain. 2. Sleeping with Rover? Not a good
idea. It’s comforting for many to have pets close by, but animals don’t understand space sharing. Provide them a spot near your bed, instead. 3. Go with the glow. Our biological clocks are strongly influenced by light; the more bright light we’re exposed to during the day, the better we’ll sleep. Keep the bedroom dark, and use a lowillumination night light in the bathroom. 4. Sleep cool. In general, temperatures above 75 and below 54 disrupt sleep. Our internal temps drop at night, so most of us sleep better in a cool room. 5. Drip, drop, tick, tock. Banish annoying noises if they disrupt your rest. Conversely, city dwellers may toss and turn if it’s too quiet; travel with a white-noise maker or favorite travel clock.
