WINSTON-SALEM – Dell Inc. announced Wednesday it will close its computer manufacturing plant by the end of January, costing 905 workers their jobs and reigniting a debate about the worth of economic incentives.

Dell’s announcement comes four years to the month after Dell opened its plant with great fanfare in southeastern Winston-Salem. The desktop computer plant was supposed to spur spinoff development and help make the Triad a technology center.

When Dell picked North Carolina for its plant on Nov. 9, 2004, then-Gov. Mike Easley proclaimed that “Dell’s decision to locate in North Carolina means thousands of jobs are headed to the Piedmont Triad.”

Instead, Dell said Wednesday that it will lay off about 600 workers next month and close the plant by the first of next year.

Heating with natural gas may cost less this winter

BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

SHARE THE WARMTH

TRIAD – Don’t unpack the electric blankets and heaters just yet.

Keeping warm this winter may become less expensive for Triad residents who heat their homes with natural gas.

Piedmont Natural Gas announced in its annual forecast of winter heating costs that residential customers could see between a 10 percent and 20 percent drop in their heating bills compared to last year.

“There has been some volatility over the past several years in terms of the wholesale of natural gas,” said David Trusty, manag-

–

Piedmont Natural Gas is offering a Share the Warmth program to provide utility assistance to those who can’t afford it during the winter months. Customers have the option to enroll in the program and have their monthly bill rounded to the nearest dollar. The extra funds will assist needy families whether or not they use natural gas.

ing director of public relations for the company. “On the one hand we’ve seen a supply increase, and at the same time we’ve seen eco-

nomic conditions decrease the demand for natural gas.”

Trusty said new technology had allowed for faster production of oil. He said the high supply and low demand are the reason for this year’s decrease.

The dominant provider of natural gas in the Triad region, the company said in a news release the average household could see a savings of $15 to $25 per month this winter, based on normal winter temperature predictions.

The prediction was made for the regular winter season from November to March. Trusty and other experts agreed it is hard to determine how long the lower prices will last.

“A lot of factors affect the price,” said Jeffrey Davis, director of the natural gas division for the North Carolina Utility Commission’s public staff. “Any factor like a hurricane or a cold snap could increase demand since natural gas trades like any other commodity on the market.”

Under current economic conditions, Davis said the drop in prices could survive the winter.

“This is good news for customers,” Trusty said. “It translates into lower prices, which is good news.”

Piedmont Natural Gas serves about 72,000 in the Guilford County area. phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

Guilford County gets first vaccine shipment

BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – County health officials have received 2,100 doses of swine flu vaccine for children.

The inhaled nasal spray, or FluMist, is the first of several expected shipments of H1N1 vaccine.

The inhaled spray is appropriate for most children ages 2 to 18, and has been shown to be a more effective vaccine than injectable vaccine.

The vaccine also will be distributed to private medical providers whose practices serve children and

FLUMIST

–

Nasal application: FluMist will not be targeted to pregnant women or people with asthma and compromised immune systems. Vaccines contain flu virus particles that already are dead, so it is not possible to get the flu from the shot.

young adults, according to the health department.

State epidemiologist Dr. Megan Davies said Tuesday 52,000 doses of nasal spray vaccine have arrived for the state and will

be given to healthy people ages 2 to 49 and especially those who tend infants.

The swine flu virus remains mild and probably will not send very many people to the hospitals for

treatment, according to experts.

Health officials had not expected vaccine delivery until mid-October.

Additional shipments, which should arrive weekly, will include the normal flu shots that are considered safe for most people.

Health officials have not yet announced a clinic schedule for swine flu vaccines.

The nasal mist doses have been divided among the state’s 100 counties based on population. Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem received an allocation.

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

Meanwhile, supplies of seasonal flu vaccine are dwindling.

Harris-Teeter pharmacies have joined grocery and pharmacy chains offering seasonal flu shots through Nov. 17. HarrisTeeter is working in cooperation with Preventa Health, a division of Virginia Health Screenings.

Seasonal flu shots cost $25 to $30 each at the chain stores.

The nasal mist vaccine also is available for $30 at many stores, as are pneumonia shots for about $45. dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

N.C. Web company expands in S.C., adds 1,000 jobs COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) – A North Carolina-based internet marketing and sales company is planning to relocate to South Carolina under an ambitious expansion plan that would create 1,000 jobs in coming years, state officials said Wednesday.

Red Ventures will move its headquarters and operations from Charlotte to Lancaster County in South Carolina, the state Department of Commerce announced. The company plans to add 100 new po-

sitions by year’s end and hundreds of additional jobs within the next five to seven years.

“The area has an excellent business environment that provides a great fit for our growing company and gives us access to a talented labor force,” Red Ventures chief financial officer Mark Brodsky said.

He added that Red Ventures has had strong growth in recent years and looks forward to continuing that growth in South Carolina.

A bill considered during the 2009 session of the N.C. General Assembly would have mandated a minimum number of paid sick days for the vast majority of workers in the state. The legislation received a hearing in the state House and Senate but didn’t pass either chamber when legislators adjourned during the summer.

BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – The coming flu season could nag some workers in North Carolina beyond the symptoms of the illness.

About 1.6 million working-age North Carolinians, or 42 percent of the state’s work force, lack paid sick days, reports the N.C. Justice Center in Raleigh.

The center was among the advocates earlier this year for a bill in the N.C. General Assembly that would have mandated a minimum number of paid sick days, through employers, for the vast majority of workers in the state.

The bill died without passing either General Assembly chamber when legislators adjourned this summer.

Advocates for mandated paid sick days did raise the issue of a severe flu season, in-

The bill would have guaranteed seven paid sick days to workers at businesses with 10 or more employees and four paid sick days for businesses with fewer than 10 employees. Essentially, workers would accrue paid sick days based on hours worked during a year, or one hour of paid sick time earned for every 30 hours worked.

‘We want to keep folks home who have the flu.

But if they don’t pay sick days, it’s a real burden on the working poor.’

Rep. Pricey Harrison D-Guilford

cluding the threat of the H1N1 virus, during legislative debates, said Louisa Warren, senior policy advocate for the N.C. Justice Center.

“We want to keep folks home who have the flu. But if they don’t pay sick days, it’s a real burden on the working poor,” said Rep. Pricey Harrison, D-Guilford, and a supporter of the bill.

The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates as much as 30 percent of

the adult U.S. population could be affected by the H1N1 virus, commonly called swine flu, during the current flu season.

Rep. Jerry Dockham, R-Davidson, said he understands the dilemma for workers without paid sick days who become ill with the flu and miss work without pay. But Dockham said he opposed the paid sick day bill because the proposed solution could be worse than the problem. “I just didn’t feel like we needed to

put any more mandates on small business. If we put more mandates on businesses, that could drive some of them out of business. And if they go out of business, what good is the legislation?” he said.

Dockham acknowledges he doesn’t have a comprehensive alternative to help workers without paid sick time cope with lost wages because of the flu.

“In these tough times, I really don’t have a good answer,” he said. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

receive severance packages and job placement help, the company said.

Dell received the largest incentives package in state history following a one-day special session of the N.C. General Assembly in November 2004. Dell was pledged $281 million in state and local incentives to open the plant.

But the company was supposed to invest $100 million, create 1,700 jobs

by September of next year and maintain those jobs for 10 more years to receive the full incentives. Dell said Wednesday it would comply with the terms of its incentive agreements with the state, Winston-Salem and Forsyth County.

From the outset, critics of the Dell incentives said the Texas-based computer conglomerate was promised too much too easily.

In the fall of 2004, state legislators were told by Easley administration officials that they couldn’t amend the Dell incentives legislation during the General Assembly special

session. Former state Supreme Court Justice Robert Orr, who challenged the incentives in court, said he regrets the loss of Dell jobs.

“The closing, however, provides a stark and painful example of the folly of the incentives game engaged in by our state and local governments. No matter how big the incentive package, operational decisions by businesses headquartered out-ofstate will be driven by corporate financial considerations and not by any sense of loyalty to the community being left behind,” said Orr, currently executive director of the N.C. Institute for Constitutional Law in Raleigh.

The plant closure is part of a plan to save $4 billion a year at Dell by 2011. Dell has a plant in Austin, Texas, as well as in Miami, Nashville, Brazil, Ireland, Poland, China, Malaysia and India.

2 Winston-Salem police officers shot, suspect killed

Guilford County Commissioner Kay Cashion joined High Pointers on Wednesday for “Walking Out on Domestic Violence� at High Point Regional Hospital.

Jones survives abuse, helps others

BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Just a few years ago, Brandy Jones was afraid she would become a domestic violence statistic.

Last year, 83 domestic violence murders occurred in North Carolina, and three victims were Guilford County residents. “I am a survivor,� Jones said Wednesday after speaking to several dozen women attending a Coalition on Infant Mortality domestic violence awareness event at the YWCA. “The task force helped me, so I decided to help.�

Since April when Jones lost her High Point sales agent job, she has been a counselor and victims’ advocate.

Jones said her former partner beat her and also accumulated 26 criminal charges while he was in and out of jails. “I am blessed to be alive,� she said.

Like many battered women, Jones decided to get away from her partner to save herself and her children. “I now help women who want to get out,� she said. “It takes a plan.�

Earlier, many of the women walked from the High Point Regional Hospital Emergency Room

WINSTON-SALEM (AP) – Two Winston-Salem police officers were wounded and a suspect killed after gunfire followed a foot chase from a fast-food restaurant Wednesday.

City spokesman Ed McNeal said that Sgt. Mickey Hutchens, 50, and Officer Daniel Clark, 28, were seriously injured. Police have not identified the suspect killed in the exchange.

Assistant Police Chief Barry Rountree said Wednesday afternoon that Hutchens, a 27-year veteran of the force, was in critical condition.

Clark, who has been on the force for six years, was listed in serious condition.

Rountree told a news conference that police received a call at 10:29 a.m. from a woman who

worked at the Bojangles restaurant on Peters Creek Parkway south of the downtown area.

Rountree said the caller reported that she had seen her ex-husband, who was wanted on outstanding warrants.

Rountree didn’t elaborate on the nature of the warrants.

Police arrived at the restaurant and identified the suspect, who fled on foot, Rountree said.

Hutchens and Clark pursued the man as he fled behind the restaurant. The officers caught up with the man and a struggle followed with all three being shot, Rountree said.

WXII-TV reported Forsyth County Sheriff Bill Schatzman visited the hospital’s emergency room and said the officers were wounded in “critical places.�

Taliban: No threat to other countries

BRIEFS

Pakistan’s military rejects U.S. aid bill ISLAMABAD – Pakistan’s military on Wednesday rejected U.S. attempts to link billions of dollars in foreign aid to increased monitoring of its anti-terror efforts, complicating American attempts to strike alQaida and Taliban fighters on the Afghan border.

Although the U.S.-backed government of President Asif Ali Zardari has the final say on whether to accept the money, the unusual public criticism threatens to undermine military cooperation with the Americans just as the Pakistani army prepares for what could be its most important offensive against extremists.

KABUL (AP) – Afghanistan’s insurgent Taliban marked the eighth anniversary of the U.S. invasion Wednesday saying they have no “agenda” to harm other countries but would continue fighting as long as America and its allies remain in the troubled nation.

The Taliban insistence that it would pose no threat to other countries appeared aimed at countering suspicions that the Islamist movement would support alQaida’s global jihad if they returned to power.

Supporters of the war fear that al-Qaida would regain its once-dominant position in Afghanistan if the Taliban topple the U.S.-backed Afghan government.

Abbas faces more anger over U.N. report RAMALLAH, West Bank – In five turbulent years in office, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has never faced as much outrage as over his decision to suspend efforts to get Israeli officials put on trial for war crimes in Gaza.

On Wednesday, Gaza professors threw shoes at his defaced image and West Bank commentators called for his resignation, the latest signs Abbas may have miscalculated in bowing to what Palestinian officials say was intense U.S. pressure.

7.8 quake hits near Vanuatu; tsunami alert WELLINGTON, New Zealand – A powerful magnitude 7.8 earthquake rocked the South Pacific near the Vanuatu archipelago, the U.S. Geological Survey reported, triggering a regional tsunami alert.

The quake struck today, 183 miles northwest of the Vanuatu island of Santo, and 354 miles northwest of the capital of Port Vila, at a depth of 21 miles.

Big dino prints found in Jurassic park in France PARIS – Paleontologists in France have reported the discovery of some of the largest dinosaur footprints ever documented, measuring about 4.6 feet to 4.9 feet in diameter.

The site of the find, high in the Jura mountains, was once a sauropod stomping ground: So far, 20 prints scattered on a 25-acre site have been uncovered, paleontologist Jean-Michel Mazin of France’s National Center of Scientific Research said on Wednesday.

Court overturns Italian premier’s immunity ROME – Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi vowed to stay on and “go forward” Wednesday after an Italian court struck down a law granting him immunity from prosecution and allowed trials for corruption and tax fraud to resume in Milan. There were immediate calls for his resignation.

The decision by the Constitutional Court dealt Berlusconi one of the most serious blows in his 15-yearlong battle with the Italian judiciary.

NATO: ALLIES MUST DO MORE IN AFGHANISTAN AP

Children beg on the roadside for donations in Kampong Laweh, a village northeast of Padang, Indonesia, Wednesday.

Aid reaches villagers deep in Indonesia quake zone KAMPUNG LAWEH, Indonesia (AP) – Children swarmed into the streets clutching begging boxes and yelling “please help me” Wednesday as an aid convoy reached villages deep in Indonesia’s quake zone.

Relief workers slowly making their way up debris-tangled mountain roads to places largely cut off for a week since the Sept. 30 earthquake are still unveiling the true scale of the disaster.

In the provincial capital of Padang, the search for the dead and treatment of injuries have given way to clearing debris and trying to prevent disease outbreaks. In more remote areas, the situation remains more desperate.

Large parts of Padang city and nearby villages in West Sumatra province were destroyed by the quake. The official death toll is 704 but could reach into the thousands.

BRUSSELS (AP) – America’s allies risk eroding NATO’s transAltantic defense pact if they do not contribute more to the Afghan mission, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, the alliance secretary general, said Wednesday.

Unless that changes, he told a press conference at the NATO headquarters, “many in the United States will wonder about Europe as a real partner in security.”

TORTOLA, British Virgin Islands – A prosecutor opened the trial of a Rhode Island man on Wednesday by accusing him of killing his wife while scuba diving in the British Virgin Islands to pursue a romance with another woman.

The director of public prosecutions in this British territory, Terrence Williams, said that David Swain knew a divorce would ruin him financially and he believed money from his wife’s life insurance policy would help him win over his love interest.

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia – A Saudi court on Wednesday convicted a man for publicly talking about sex after he bragged on a TV talk show about his exploits, sentencing him to five years in jail and 1,000 lashes, his lawyer said.

Talking about sex publicly is a taboo in ultraconservative Saudi Arabia. Lawyer Sulaiman al-Jumeii said he plans to appeal the court’s ruling and is confident the sentence against his client will be revoked.

CBO: Budget deficit hit $1.4T in 2009 WASHINGTON – The federal budget deficit tripled to a record $1.4 trillion for the 2009 fiscal year that ended last week, congressional analysts said Wednesday.

The Congressional Budget Office estimate, while expected, is bad news for the White House and its allies in Congress as they press ahead with health care overhaul legislation that could cost $900 billion over the next decade.

Funds up for food stamps, nutrition WASHINGTON – Nutrition, food stamp and dairy aid programs were among the winners as the House on Wednesday approved a $121 billion agriculture spending bill for the 2010 budget year.

Reflecting the growing number of people scrambling to get by in tough economic times, the bill provides $58.2 billion for the food stamp program, a jump of $4.3 billion from last year.

Lithium battery air shipments get OK WASHINGTON – Federal regulators have turned down a request by a pilots union to ban air shipments of lithium batteries despite three new incidents in which battery shipments caught fire.

Third of parents oppose swine flu vaccine ATLANTA (AP) – As the first wave of swine flu vaccine crosses the country, more than a third of parents don’t want their kids vaccinated, according to an Associated Press-GfK poll.

Some parents say they are concerned about side effects from the new vaccine – even though nothing serious has turned up in tests so far – while others say swine flu doesn’t amount to any greater health threat than seasonal flu.

Jackie Shea of Newtown, Conn., the mother of a 5year-old boy named Emmett, says the vaccine is too new and too untested. “I will not be first in line in October to get him vaccinated,� she said in an interview last month. “We’re talking about putting an unknown into him. I can’t do that.�

The AP poll found that 38 percent of parents said they were unlikely to give permission for their kids to be vaccinated at school.

The belief that the new vaccine could be risky is one federal health officials have been fighting from the start, and they plan an unprecedented

system of monitoring for side effects.

They note that swine flu vaccine is made the same way as seasonal flu vaccines that have been used

for years. And no scary side effects have turned up in tests on volunteers.

On Wednesday, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius

appealed for widespread inoculation against swine flu, vouching unconditionally for the vaccine: “We know it’s safe and secure.�

Eight years: Obama, war council weigh Afghan shift WASHINGTON (AP) – The Afghanistan war reached its once-unthinkable eighth anniversary Wednesday as President Barack Obama, seeking a revamped strategy for the increasingly unpopular conflict, focused more closely with his war council on neighboring Pakistan’s role in the fight against al-Qaida.

The White House also revealed that Obama has in hand – and has for nearly a week – the troop request prepared by the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal. It is said to include a range of options, from adding as few as 10,000 additional combat troops to – McChrys-

tal’s strong preference – as many as 40,000.

White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said Obama asked for McChrystal’s request last Thursday, before he flew to Copenhagen where he lobbied for Chicago’s bid to host the Olympics and met with the general on the sidelines. The numbers could become the focus of concentrated White House attention as soon as Friday, Gibbs said.

When former President George W. Bush launched the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan less than a month after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, the country’s Taliban government was providing safe haven for Osama bin Lad-

en and his al-Qaida terrorists. Eight years later, the Taliban regime is no more and al-Qaida is scattered and weakened. But the Afghan government is considered corrupt and ineffective. Taliban insurgents hoping to retake control are gaining strength and terrorists continue to plan attacks.

This uncertain progress has come at a cost of nearly 800 U.S. lives.

With this and Americans’ dwindling patience in mind, Obama is engaged in a methodical review of how to overhaul the war.

Be aware of needs of our aging loved ones I hope everybody who has loved ones in their senior years will read this.

The other day when I came out of Harris Teeter, I noticed an elderly lady standing by a car, and she seemed to be very upset. When I asked, “Can I help you,” she said, “I’ve lost my car. I thought this one was my car but I can’t get the door open.”

I asked her what kind of car she has, and she said a Cadillac (the car she was trying to get into was a Ford). I told her I would help her find her car, so using her remote I located her car on the other side of the parking lot, and I helped her to her car.

Later I wished I had followed her to make sure she got home OK. I believe if all of us would take a closer look at our beloved ones going into their golden years, we might find they need more assistance than we had realized, especially driving and going places alone. It might even head off what could have been a tragedy.

There was no help for animals when it was needed About the only time I speak up is when there is something that really bothers me. I am a person that If I see an animal that’s hungry, I’ll feed it. Maybe I shouldn’t, but I’d never let a human go hungry if I had food to give them, so I sure won’t let a poor little animal go without.

No help, and I called at least 10 to 15 people.

We sit and watch these pitiful commercials on television that will rip your heart out about neglected and abused animals and to get them help, but when it comes to needing help, none of these places will help. I have been so upset that these precious, beautiful kittens will be killed if turned in to animal control.

If these organizations won’t help when you need them, stop showing these ads and stop asking for donations. I know over population is a problem, but if no one can help, stop making people feel bad with those ads on TV. I would have gladly given a donation for help, but there was no one to offer help.

Take care of Lejeune vets, families S

T

here’s been lots of highly partisan bickering in Congress this year over stimulus packages, bailouts and now health care reform. But it’s good to see that some of our members of Congress from the Tarheel State do remember that they can get more done when they work together.

Concerns about possible exposure of veterans and their families to contaminated water used at Camp Lejeune Marine base have prompted Rep. Brad Miller and Sen. Kay Hagan, both Democrats, to work closely recently with Republican Sen. Richard Burr to get legislation in the pipeline that would provide relief for people found to be suffering health impacts. The contaminated water problem was corrected about 20 years ago, but it had existed for decades prior to then, possibly impacting as many as 1 million people.

Legislation cosponsored by Burr and Hagan was recently passed in the Senate preventing military officials from discarding water contamination-related health claims before studies of the Lejeune situation are completed. Also, Burr and Miller have introduced companion bills in their respective chambers that would make Veterans Affairs health care available to veterans and family members based at Camp Lejeune during the period of water contamination and who have health problems.

This is, of course, an issue that may well impact some veterans among us in the Triad. And it’s one in which this nation must fulfill its obligations to take care of veterans and their family members who are determined to have been adversely impacted. So despite their political differences and their arguments over other matters, our members of Congress must continue working together on this for the benefit of those who have served this nation well.

European Union rises in ashes of old Rome History tells us that Rome was the world power when Jesus walked on earth the first time.

We know they crucified him and also placed their regulations on the Christian church. After a while, they seem to disappear off the stage of time.

The Bible tells us that Rome will rise again in the “last days.”

It will be under the camouflage of the “European union.” It will have long arms like an octopus reaching around the world, even to America.

Could this be taking place now?

Rushing all these bills through without our representatives reading or even writing them. Who is writing them? Why is our nation’s debt so great? We can never pay it. Why so many “czars?” Could it be they are trying to “Caesar” our America?

The best answer I can find is in the Bible, Matthew 24:33.

George Santayana wrote “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”

Throughout the last 200 or more years, Afghanistan has successfully repelled concentrated military forces from both the British and the Soviets.

Therefore, this is a war America cannot “win” in any sense of the word.

It is time to bring the troops home and spend the lives of our children and the fortunes of our country on something worthwhile, like rebuilding America and actually making it safer, rather than simply making America think it is “safer.”

About time: Give Roman Polanski what he deserves

omebody please help me with this. Obviously, I’m missing something.

So we’ve got a 43-year-old man who takes a 13-year-old girl into a hot tub. According to the girl, this is what follows: He gives her part of a Quaalude and some champagne. He gets into the hot tub, naked.

She flees to a bedroom. He follows. He puts his mouth to her vagina. He removes her panties. He asks if she is on the pill. She is not, and he asks if she wants him to penetrate her anally instead. She says no. He does anyway. During all this, she’s begging him to stop.

In court, he admits to having sex with the child. He admits he knew she was 13. He is indicted on six charges. To spare the child the pain of testifying, the DA agrees to let him plead guilty on a single lesser charge.

The man spends 42 days behind bars for pre-sentencing diagnostic tests. In 1978, on the eve of his actual sentencing, he flees the country and returns to his native France.

He is finally arrested 31 years later.

And now “he” is the victim?!

I have no idea how anyone arrives at that conclusion. I could not arrive at that conclusion with a GPS navigator.

Yet the case of director Roman Polanski, now 76 and in a Swiss jail fighting extradition to the United States, has attracted a slew of high-profile defenders. French and Polish officials have condemned his arrest, which came last month at a film festival in Zurich. Filmmakers like Woody Allen, Jonathan Demme, Michael Mann and Martin Scorsese have reportedly signed a petition calling for his release. Whoopi Goldberg, splitting legal hairs down to the micron, argues that because he pleaded to a lesser charge, Polanski is not guilty of “ ‘rape,’ rape.” Producer Harvey Weinstein refers to Polanski’s “so-called crime.”

Polanski’s defenders would want you to know that he’s experienced tragedy in his life. He is a Holocaust survivor. His wife was murdered by the Manson gang. They’d want you to know he settled a civil suit brought by his victim, who has forgiven him and doesn’t wish to see him punished.

They’d want you to know the original trial judge is alleged to have improperly discussed the case with a prosecutor who was

not involved in it.

All of it’s true. None of it matters.

At this point, it might be valuable to try a little brain exercise. Imagine for a moment, we were not talking about Roman Polanski, the OPINION celebrated director. Imagine, instead, it was Roman PolanLeonard ski the bus driver, Roman Pitts Polanski the accountant or ■■■ architect who had – apologies to Whoopi Goldberg – “raped” a child and then fled the country to avoid punishment.

Would we still be having this discussion?

Would he even have defenders?

Of course not.

People often speak of Hollywood’s values as being out of sync with the nation’s. But though it may flatter us to believe that, it’s a specious argument. “Zombieland” made $25 million last weekend. You do not sell $25 million worth of “any” product in three days at less than $10 a unit, unless you are closely in sync with what your customers want.

No, this episode says less about Hollywood’s values than its sense of its own exceptionalism, e.g., the belief that because a person is famous, beautiful, talented, we should expect and overlook such petty eccentricities as occasional rudeness, chronic vanity or – cover your eyes, Whoopi – the odd rape of a 13-year-old girl.

That sense of exceptionalism is enabled by fans and media when we use terms like “troubled” and “bad boy actor” to describe behavior that would leave us cursing if the person in question were not someone we “know” because we saw him in a movie. We treat fame like a free pass from judgment or consequence, so it’s no surprise some people are signing petitions on behalf of poor Roman Polanski.

Consider this my counter petition. May he get what’s coming to him – with interest.

Democrats want to hide ObamaCare details from you

B

arack Obama and sneaky congressional leaders don’t want you to know what’s in ObamaCare. They have made it clear that they will hide all the details from you. When Sen. Jim Bunning offered an amendment that would have required that the language of the bill be made available to the American people 72 hours prior to a vote, Democrats on the Senate Finance Committee squashed it.

It’s becoming more apparent that Obama and his allies in Congress don’t want the American people to know or read or hear anything negative about ObamaCare. They are willing to shut down debate by any means necessary.

We believe they are laying the groundwork to enact ObamaCare in the dead of night, under the cover of darkness before any of us are any the wiser.

Michael Franc, writing for the Heritage Foundation’s blog, The Foundry, gives us the details: “During the Senate Finance Committee mark up of the Baucus health bill ... Sen. Bunning of Kentucky put forth an innovative amendment. This amendment stipulated that before voting on the measure in committee, legislative language would have to be accessible to the public for 72 hours and that the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) would need to publish an official tally of how much this bill will cost the American people and what the real impact will be on health costs.”

Franc continued: “The amendment failed 11-12 on nearly a party line vote. Sen. Blanche Lincoln (Arkansas) was the sole Democrat to support this attempt at transparency. The bottom line: when the committee completes its work on this remake of onesixth of our economy, senators will have voted on a phantom – a bill that does not exist with

costs that are unknowable until, that is, the unelected legislative draftsmen write the OPINION real bill in some back Mary Beth Brown room on Floyd Brown Capitol Hill.”

■■■ It’s bad enough when our federal legislators vote on bills they have not even bothered to read. But to actually start “negotiations” on 200 pages of notes and ideas on a bill that has not even been written? Then in the heights of arrogance, they squash an amendment that would require them to give you 72 hours to read what will likely be thousands of pages before they vote on it.

But what’s even worse, Obama is trying to muzzle, and intimidate, those who dare to speak out against ObamaCare.

Managed care provider Humana published a letter to its members warning them of potential drastic cuts to Medicare (specifically the Medicare Advantage program) under ObamaCare. It urged its members to contact Congress.

Specifically, Humana said; “if the proposed funding cut levels (in the current health care legislation) become law, millions of seniors and disabled individuals could lose many of the important benefits and services that make Medicare Advantage health plans so valuable.”

It was a very valid point to raise as such proposals are on the table, and it makes all the sense in the world to alert people to what is going on and motivate them to call their elected officials. But it didn’t take the long for our government to come down hard on Humana. The Department of Health and Human Services

(HHS) initiated an investigation and sent an ominous gag-order to Humana: “As we continue our research into this issue, we are instructing you to immediately discontinue all such mailings to beneficiaries and to remove any related materials directed to Medicare enrollees from your Web sites.”

And Sen. Max Baucus demanded that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services launch an “investigation” against Humana as well, claiming the letter put forth “false information.” Baucus snidely asked, “Does the First Amendment include lies?”

Of course, there’s just one small problem with Baucus’ ranting accusation. Humana was voicing an opinion that was well grounded in fact. Bob Ellis with Dakotavoice.com wrote: “Even the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) confirms what the White House doesn’t want to get out, with CBO head Douglas Elmendorf telling the Senate this.”

If nothing else that has transpired up to this point has convinced you that ObamaCare must be rejected, these shenanigans should.

Yes, school can actually be fun for students in the hands of an excellent teacher.

Finally, excellent teachers are life-long learners, always looking to develop new skills, insights and ideas. If a teacher – or anyone, for that matter – is not learning, then they are not growing. They are not moving toward excellence.

Are excellent teachers excellent all the time? Only the superhuman ones. Of course not! Every teacher has days they have difficulty getting out of bed so early and days they might prefer to stay home. But excellent teachers rarely, if ever, settle for just mediocre days. They strive to inspire in students that every day is a great day to learn something new.

I am reminded of a quote I learned from a dear friend and mentor, Bob Allen. He taught many Sunday school lessons I enjoyed at Lexington Avenue Baptist Church during my growing-up and young adult years, and I often hear him say this: “Good, better, best, never let it rest till your good is better and your better is best.” I think a person who lives by that philosophy would not only make an excellent teacher but a great person of any vocation.

t has been said that America’s future walks through the doors of our schools every day. That is precisely why we should look for and celebrate excellence in education.

I am so proud to know and have worked with this year’s Teacher of the Year in Guilford County, Terri Roberts. She spent several years teaching at my school and currently teaches Advanced Learners at Southwest Elementary right here in High Point. I certainly concur that Roberts exemplifies excellence in teaching everywhere she teaches.

I saw her on a Good Morning Show interview, and when asked what she enjoys about her job of teaching, she replied, “I just love everything about it.” I believe Roberts does, and what parent does not want their child to have a teacher who truly loves what he or she does on a daily basis?

So what does an excellent teacher look like? Many parents and teachers will sit down together before the end of this first quarter of school for conferences.

How can you tell your child’s teacher has “the right stuff?”

First and foremost, I think an excellent teacher truly loves students. A child must learn early to believe that he or she is somebody worthwhile and can do praiseworthy things.

That is not always an easy task when a student does not respect the teacher or follow school rules and procedures. But every student – every student – needs a teacher who believes in them and does everything possible to help that student succeed.

An excellent teacher is a team player. They are willing to work with parents to find solutions to issues a student may have. They are willing to work with other teachers at their schools to find and utilize best teaching practices. Excellent teachers do not feel

2 Americans, 1 Israeli win Nobel chemistry prize NEW YORK (AP) – Two Americans and an Israeli won a Nobel Prize in chemistry Wednesday for creating detailed blueprints of the proteinmaking machinery within cells, research that’s being used to develop new antibiotics.

Venkatraman Ramakrishnan, Thomas Steitz and Israeli Ada Yonath will split the $1.4 million award for their atom-byatom description of ribosomes.

Yonath, 70, is only the fourth woman to win the Nobel chemistry prize and the first since 1964.

Ribosomes are key to life. They use instruc-

tions from genes to make thousands of different proteins that control what happens in the body. Many antibiotics kill bacteria by attacking their ribosomes, and the detailed descriptions by the new Nobelists are being used to develop new drugs.

The three scientists worked independently and published their results virtually simultaneously in 2000.

“I didn’t feel it was a personal competition, but it was a bit of a race,” said Steitz, 69, a professor at Yale. “We were all taking separate approaches.”

HIGH POINT – High Point police will offer a different type of service to the community at one local restaurant Friday.

Officers will greet and serve customers at Chili’s Grill & Bar at Oak Hollow Mall in the annual “Tip-ACop” event, which is one of the fundraising efforts of law enforcement officers statewide for Special Olympics North Carolina.

Officers will help the restaurant’s wait staff serve drinks, condiments and napkins and ask for tips for Special Olympics.

The department, along with other law enforcement agencies in Guilford County, has raised more than $100,000 for Special

Olympics this year. The Guilford County Sheriff’s Department ranked first in the state in raising $64,200 through various events, such as the Polar Plunge, in February.

“I am very proud of the hard work our folks put in on their own time, but of course the real winners of this informal competition are the Special Olympians themselves,” said Guilford County Sheriff BJ Barnes. “They are deserving of every dime we are able to raise, because of all the good they inspire in others.”

The 2009 Law Enforcement Torch Run, in which High Point police and other agencies participate each year, raised more than $852,000 statewide. Other events include the “Cops on Doughnut Shops” fundraiser at Krispy Kreme.

For Friday’s event, officers will leave an envelope for diners at Chili’s in which to leave their tips and will provide receipts if requested.

According to police, tips for Special Olympics will be in addition to the gratuities for waiters and waitresses at the restaurant.

All of the tips will go to Special Olympics North Carolina, as will proceeds from the sale of Torch Run T-shirts and ball caps at the event. Shirts and caps will be available for $13 each, or $25 for both. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

Award-winning band needs help to defend title

BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

THOMASVILLE – Hoping to defend its title as 2A champions in the 2009 National High School High Stepping Marching Band Championship, Thomasville High School’s marching band has been practicing hard for several months.

But the band will need some financial help getting to this year’s championship as the event has moved from N.C. A&T State University in Greensboro to Morris Brown College in Atlanta.

“This is the biggest competition out of them all because you have so many bands involved,” said Chris Hayes, Thomasville High School director of bands. “It’s an excellent opportunity for them. They will be getting judged by college directors, so there are scholarship opportunities available depending on how they perform.”

Last year, Thomasville High’s marching band was named 2A champions and finished fifth overall among all classes. This year’s championship will take place Nov. 13-15.

The Atlanta trip, which was approved by the Thomasville Board of Education on Tuesday night, will require the band to raise an additional $16,000 on top of the $1,000 that already has been compiled.

To raise the money, Thomasville High School is hosting the

High schools that will compete include Northeast Guilford, Warren County, Halifax, Va., West Mecklenburg and Garinger (both of Charlotte) and Hoke County.

Thomasville High will perform

an exhibition to end the competition.

The high school also is holding a fruit sale that is expected to pay for at least half of the trip. In addition, the band is seeking sponsors to pay for the event.

According to Hayes, the trip will be educational for the band as students will visit the Georgia Aquarium, the world’s largest aquarium, and Ebenezer Baptist Church, where the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. preached. Hayes said the students also would visit the site of the 1996 Olympics.

Not only will Thomasville High students participate in the event, Hayes also is looking at recruiting several Thomasville Middle School students to perform. Currently, 39 Thomasville High students, including Xavier Manning, will compete in the competition.

“I want to go to nationals because I know we were the 2A class champions last year,” said Manning, a junior drum major. “I know we can go back and do better than we did last year.”

It contained evidence that led detectives to the first suspect in the case, Meonte Florence, 24, of Florida Street, Greensboro, who was charged on Sept. 11 with three felonious counts of breaking and entering a motor vehicle, two felonious counts of larceny and one misdemeanor count of larceny, police said.

Three more arrests followed on Sept. 15 and 16: Terrence Pierre Lawson, 17, of Florida Street, Greensboro, Romauld Lawrence, 17, and Tajh

Investigators said they believe the three teenagers worked together to carry out the break-ins.

“We really don’t think (Florence) was physically breaking into cars. She just happened to end up with (some of the stolen property) and pawned it, and that’s how we broke the case,” said police Detective Chris Weisner.

“I don’t anticipate any more charges unless something pops up.”

Judge dissolves order preventing patient move RALEIGH (AP) – A trial judge opened the door Wednesday to allow the state of North Carolina to move patients from an aging state mental hospital by lifting a year-old court order raising questions about safety at the new hospital.

Superior Court Judge Carl Fox dissolved a temporary restraining order obtained in September 2008 by the group Disability Rights North Carolina and three patients at Dorothea Dix Hospital in Raleigh.

The group argued that new Central Regional Hospital in Butner was unsafe and state health officials hadn’t used methods required in 2008 legislation to ensure potential problems were fixed.

The group was worried about patient safety because of malfunctions of duress alarm, paging and wireless communication systems at the Butner hospital, which had already taken in patients from nearby John Umstead Hospital in July 2008.

Fox’s order said the two sides worked closely on the issues and they have now been addressed. The state plans to move the first of 105 patients from Dix to the Butner hospital starting in November.

Noted missionary dies at 77 DUBLIN (AP) – The Rev. Aengus Finucane, a Roman Catholic missionary and Irish aid pioneer who braved civil wars, died Tuesday. He was 77.

Finucane, who was born in the western Irish city of Limerick, died at the Spiritan Fathers’ residence for retired priests following a short unspecified illness, his charity said.

Finucane was a priest in the Spiritan Fathers order in Nigeria during its 1967-1970 civil war with the breakaway state of Biafra. Determined to combat famine as the Nigerian military crushed the rebellion, he worked with Dublin-based workers to channel aid to Biafra through its oftenbombed airstrip and by cargo ship.

That aid effort, initially known as Concern Africa, shortened its name to Concern in 1970 as it gained ambitions to provide food.

QuitSmart session starts today ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

AP

Convicted sex offender James Nichols prays below the cross at the New Life Mission Church in Fayetteville. Nichols said he was trying to better himself by going to Moncure Baptist Church in Moncure, but the police who arrested him explained: The church is off-limits because it has a daycare center.

Banned from churches, sex offenders go to court ing the public from child molesters.

“I just started asking the question, ’Why? Why am I being treated this way after trying to better myself?”’ said Nichols, a 31-year-old who was twice convicted of indecent liberties with a teen girl and again in 2003 for attempted second-degree rape. “The law gives you no room to better yourself.”

At issue in Nichols’

case and a similar one in Georgia are day care centers and youth programs at houses of worship where sex offenders can come into proximity with children.

Sex offender advocates agree some convicts should not be allowed around children, but they contend barring all offenders denies them support needed to become productive citizens.

“Criminalizing the practice of religion for everyone on the registry will do more

Woman rations gifts her daughters receive D

ear Abby: My sister “Tricia’s” daughters, ages 5 and 7, are my only nieces. A few weeks ago, I sent the 7-yearold a gift for her birthday. When I didn’t get a response, I called my sister to ask if it had arrived. Tricia said, “Oh, yeah, we got it.

We’ve been busy and so we didn’t open it. We’ll get to it someday.” I felt terrible knowing my niece didn’t get the gift on her birthday and didn’t know I had remembered her.

I have since learned that my nieces weren’t given the gifts I sent last Christmas, either, which explains why I didn’t receive thank-you notes. Tricia told me her girls get lots of presents so she limits when they can have them. She gives them as rewards or saves them for rainy days.

The younger daughter’s birthday is coming up, and now I’m wondering what to do. I don’t want to spend the time or money picking out something she may never see. Should I just send a card? Or call to wish her a happy birthday?

My sister is generous with my kids. They open the gifts right away and send thank-you notes.

How do I reciprocate?

taking the credit that should be going to you. Your nieces should absolutely know that you think of them on their birthdays and other

holidays.

By all means call them and send cards. And start contributing to a college fund for them.

Although they may not appreciate right now what a thoughtful gift you are giving them, I guarantee they will in the future.

Dear Abby: I have a good relationship with my 84-year-old mother, but it’s difficult to spend time with her because during the past year she has started hitting me.

She does not appear to be angry when she does it. She’ll do it if I say something she thinks is funny, when I do something nice or for no reason at all.

It hurts me physically and emotionally when she hits me. I have asked her repeatedly to please not do it, but she persists. I wasn’t abused as a child, so I don’t understand what’s going on. Any ideas? -- Bruised in Springfield Dear Bruised: I have a suspicion. I have written before that any significant change in a senior’s behavior or personality should be

reported to his or her doctor. Your mother may need to be physically and neurologically evaluated because it’s possible that she doesn’t remember that you have asked her not to hit you.

My advice is to have your mother checked out, and if I’m right, you have my sympathy.

Dear Abby: My daughter is divorced from my grandson “Cody’s” father, “Mitch.” Cody is only 8, and when Mitch makes plans with him and then doesn’t show up or even bother to call, of course Cody is sad.

I can’t stand to see my grandson hurt over and over again. How can I help him get through these difficult times?

– Protective Nana in Rhode Island Dear Protective Nana: It isn’t possible to shield your grandson entirely from his father’s neglect. However, you might lessen his disappointment by making alternative plans to do something with him if his father is a no-show.

And if Cody has uncles, a grandfather or other male influences in his life, perhaps they could step up to the plate on some of those occasions when his father strikes out.

harm than good,” said Sara Totonchi, policy director for the Southern Center for Human Rights. “With these laws, states are driving people on the registry from their faith community and depriving them of the rehabilitative influence of the church.”

Thirty-six states establish zones where sex offenders cannot live or visit. Some states provide exemptions for churches but many do not.

Official suggests cooperation on offshore drilling RALEIGH (AP) – A leader of a General Assembly panel examining energy exploration off the North Carolina coast says the state should consider working with neighbors to ensure its interests are protected.

Doug Rader with the Environmental Defense Fund in Raleigh said Wednesday that North Carolina needs to watch potential oil and natural gas drilling or alternative energy initatives off the coasts of Virginia or South Carolina.

A oil and gas lease sale off the Virginia coast is scheduled early next decade. Virginia’s state geologist told the offshore energy advisory panel two potential wind energy projects also are being discussed. Rader said it would be unfortunate if North Carolina has no say about projects that could affect negatively the North Carolina coast.

Tobacco use is the No. 1 preventable cause of death, according to experts. It creates health risks for smokers as well as those around them.

There is no known safe level of exposure to secondhand smoke. For women, smoking is a risk factor for having low birth weight babies which are more likely to die or to have learning and physical problems.

School diversity program draws ire of voters RALEIGH (AP) – Voters around North Carolina’s state capital have demanded change on the local school board in an election largely seen as a referendum on the county’s model diversity policy that frequently mixes poorer students with those in affluent suburbs.

Three candidates running campaigns to change the diversity system won seats on the Wake County board from their suburban territories. A fourth member of that coalition may enter a runoff that will determine whether they have an outright majority to require more focus on what they deem “neighborhood” education.

Karen Simon, a black parent who unsuccessfully ran for the seat in a predominantly white district in northwest Raleigh, said she was shocked to see support-

ers of the current diversity policy lose by such a substantial margin Tuesday night. She hoped it was not an indication that the majority of county voters support segregation — but instead a vocal segment that turned out to vote.

“Some people were trying to say, ’Oh, no, race had nothing to do with it,”’ Simon said. “The fact is: Yes, it did. Race had everything to do with it.”

It’s a debate that’s particularly powerful in the South, where words like “segregation” and “integration” always carry the power of the region’s Jim Crow past.

Wake County’s diversity policy is based on socioeconomics, with officials assigning and busing students to schools so that no campus has more than 40 percent of students receiving free or reduced-price lunches.

BIBLE QUIZ

GARDENING 101

Q

Answer: It sounds like the stinkhorn fungus. Stinkhorns are amazing mushrooms, notorious for popping up suddenly and unexpectedly in urban settings. They are very diverse in appearance, but all of them share at least two features: Some part of the fruiting body, at some stage in development, is covered with a foul-smelling slime.

The fruiting body arises from what looks like an egg, traces of which may disappear by maturity.

The stinkhorn fungus (Phallus impudicus) begins as a small egg-like body beneath the soil, and it enlarges to the size of a golf ball. An erect phallus-like stalk breaks through the “egg,” forming a cuplike basal volva as the stalk rapidly elongates. The swollen cap is coated with a black, putrid, musilaginous mass of spore slime. This is a foul-smelling fungus that attracts flies to its spore-laden, slimy body, thus increasing the odds of its spores

being dispersed to new habitats.

The fruiting body can appear almost overnight, and may scent your entire back yard.

No, they won’t hurt you (or your children, or your pets), and unfortunately there are no good control measures except to physically remove them.

MASTER GARDENERS will answer questions on horticultural topics. Karen C. Neill, an urban horticulture extension agent, can be contacted at the N.C. Cooperative Extension, 3309 Burlington Road, Greensboro, N.C. 27405-7605, telephone 375-5876, e-mail karen_neill@ncsu.edu, on the Web at www. guilfordgardenanswers.org.

Golfers tee it up for Hospital Guild N

o suspense this week. No teasers this week. So I’ll get right to it. This column includes a Mack truck, WHEW! and “teeing up” for the Hospital Guild.

First up on the tee is the Hospital Guild of High Point Regional Health System (HPRHS).

Of course I ABOUT know that you know TOWN that I’m talking Mary about the Bogest annual ■■■ Guild Golf Classic held at Holly Ridge Golf Course. This is the eighth year that these dedicated ladies of the Guild have figured handicaps, counted mulligans and solicited hole sponsors. It is always fun to go out to the golf course and ravish in the beautiful scenery. I arrived at Holly Ridge just after 8 a.m. and just before the shot gun start and just in time to partake of some of the delectable breakfast goodies. In other words I had good timing for everything.

As I arrived the members of the golf committee were busy. Guild treasurer and friend Mary Ann Bohi was taking in the money. Nancy Schrull was setting up the raffle items. Hazel Scott was working on the scoreboard. Guild President Alma Sawyer, Mittie White, Peggy Johnson and my friend Mary Jane Lindsay were making sure that the golfers were well fed. They were.

One of the first golfers I spotted was Jeff Miller, president of HPRHS, and his wife Carroll Ann as they were loading their golf clubs on the cart. Aha! This was a great time to ask him what he thought about the Hospital Guild. I loved his “off the tee” answer. “Our Guild at HPRHS is a wonderfully unique support group. I don’t know of any other hospital that has this kind of support. There hasn’t been a capital campaign that the Hospital Guild hasn’t

been the first to make a contribution. We are so proud of them. Any time they have a golf tournament. ... I’ll be swinging.” The Millers teamed with HPRHS vice president Linda Roney and her husband Bob. It is quite a sight to see all of the golfers in their carts at the shot gun start. On this particular morning they all faded into the fog as they left the clubhouse. My friend Bobbi Watkins, director of volunteer services and I quickly got into the action and drove around the course in our cart, getting photos of the golfers. En MARY BOGEST | HPE route we met up with her favorite foursome.

Throat pouch is one cause of bad breath

D

ear Dr. Donohue: Through the years you have addressed the problem of bad breath more than once. Usually you do not mention the possibility of it being caused by a Zenker’s diverticulum.

This was my husband’s problem. An emergencyroom trip for a chunk of chicken stuck in his throat finally solved the problem. Our ENT doctor didn’t encourage him to have the diverticulum surgically removed. After several years, he decided to see another doctor and had the surgery. We both regretted his not having had it done sooner. It was wonderful. He could eat without coughing or choking; he was able to gain back the weight he had lost; and his breath was fine. I hope you’ll mention something about Zenker’s diverticulum.

– V.E.

BLONDIE

B.C.

A diverticulum is a small pouch. In the case of a Zenker’s diverticulum, the pouch protrudes from the back of the throat and adjacent part of the swallowing tube, the esophagus. This kind of diverticulum is much larger than the colon diverticula found in diverticulosis.

Zenker’s diverticulum forms later in life. People with one often complain that food sticks in their throats.

It’s actually stuck in the diverticulum. There it undergoes digestion. Later, the partially digested food can be regurgitated from the diverticulum back into

the mouth.

This is what causes bad breath.

Coughing and choking while eating are HEALTH other signs of a ZenkDr. Paul er’s diverDonohue ticulum.

■■■ The diagnosis is made by having X-rays taken while the patient swallows barium, thick material that stands out impressively on an X-ray picture.

Nowadays, surgical removal of a Zenker’s diverticulum can often be accomplished through relatively small incisions, and the pouch is removed with the aid of special instruments and a scope. And sometimes the diverticulum can be removed without any incision, the scope being passed down the throat.

I do have to caution people. Halitosis is common.

A Zenker’s diverticulum is somewhat rare.

To Readers: A little while back I had a question about eating shrimp shells. I knew nothing about that custom and asked readers to respond.

They did. I thank all of them for taking the time to do so. Here are some replies: In the early 90s, I saw a TV cooking show and the cook said to eat shrimp shells for their nutritional value. So I tried it, and nothing bad happened to me. – D.P.

I am writing to answer the shrimp shell eating question. My wife, who is Japanese, says that she and many Japanese eat the shells. She says they are very tasty and a good source of calcium. – G.G. I have been eating shrimp shells for decades. Mostly I eat them because that is where the flavor of the boil seasoning is. My dad did this, as do most of my brothers.

I am a 50-year-old female and had my first colonoscopy. I got a good report. I love the shells. – D.B. On the beach at Ipanema and Copacabana, they sell cooked shrimp over a fire and on a stick. Lots of people eat the whole shrimp, shell and all.

– W.S. I guess it’s safe to eat the shells. I’m not endorsing the practice, and I don’t intend to adopt it.

Dear Dr. Donohue: I have a question about hair. What causes gray hair? I am 80 and do not have any gray hair. People ask me why I have it dyed.

I would like to have a scientifically backed answer for them. – P.B. Pigment cells at the bottom of a hair follicle impart color to hair. Those cells are called melanocytes. With age, the cells produce less pigment. Hair with little pigment is gray.

Hair with no pigment is white.

Genes, as they always do, have a role in the demise of pigment production.

Filmmaker sues Rock over ‘Good Hair’

FILE | AP

In this combination of Jan. 29, 2001 file photos, Anna Nicole Smith (left) points at E. Pierce Marshall, accusing him of illegally interfering in the relationship she had with her late husband J. Howard Marshall II, and Smith holding a photograph of J. Howard Marshall II, during the trial over his fortune in Harris County Probate Court in Houston.

Anna Nicole probed in murder plot MIAMI (AP) – The FBI investigated whether Anna Nicole Smith plotted to kill her tycoon husband’s son as they battled for his father’s fortune, newly released files show, but the former Playboy Playmate who died in 2007 was never prosecuted.

Smith’s FBI records, obtained exclusively by The Associated Press, say the agency investigated Smith in 2000 and 2001 in a murder-for-hire plot targeting E. Pierce Marshall, who was at the center of a long legal fight to keep the model and one-time stripper from collecting his father’s

oil wealth, valued in the hundreds of millions. The younger Marshall died three years ago of natural causes.

The documents released under the Freedom of Information Act depict an investigation going on as the fight raged over J. Howard Marshall II’s estate.

WCA serves up new courts

BY STEVE HANF ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

HIGH POINT – Ah, the sights and sounds associated with tennis – bright green balls being chased under sunny fall or spring skies, the steady “thwack” of rackets making contact, the squeaks of shiny tennis shoes.

As for the smells of the game ...

“The food smells from the restaurants over there are going to get to us,” Wesleyan Christian Academy’s Christina Drake said with a laugh. “After matches we’ll be going over there!”

Sure enough, Wednesday’s dedication of the new Trojan tennis courts included a mouth-watering aroma released from one of the restaurants on Mall Loop Road. The rest of the event, however, catered to the other senses – specifically the eyes.

Six pristine courts now dot the landscape between the Wesleyan gymnasium and some of the Wesleyan Arms properties, just off Eastchester Drive. Finishing touches included trees being added between Eastchester and the fences for the four courts that sit just off the busy road.

The project took about 31⁄2 months for Kirkland, Inc., to complete.

Rain caused delays toward the end of the process for items such as painting, but everything was completed on time for the Trojan girls to get their first match in Friday against

Wesleyan Christian Academy’s tennis team works out on new courts that were dedicated on Wednesday. The courts were built with help of a $500,000 anonymous donation.

Forsyth Country Day. “They were worried about not getting a match in, but the Lord had a plan for it,” Trojans athletic director Ricardo Viera said.

Did He ever. The six courts, featuring Musco Lighting, cost $500,000 and were paid for through the generosity of an anonymous donor. WCA merely had to purchase the land.

The project puts an end to a nomadic lifestyle for Wesleyan’s tennis teams.

In coach Gaylon Peel’s 10 years at the school, practices and matches have been held at Blair Park, Oak Hollow, Oak View and Skeet Club. Now, the varsity boys and girls head coach envisions a vibrant scene not only for school teams, but clinics for youngsters and adults alike during summer.

“We are excited about being able to use the courts to further our tennis program and further tennis

in general,” Peel said. “I think it’s a first-class facility: Good courts, good lights. They took their time and did a good job making sure everything was done the way it should be done.”

Drake, a junior at No. 2 singles, said the players are hoping for more fan support now that they compete on campus. There certainly was a crowd for Wednesday’s ceremony, which included remarks

from new school leader Rob Brown and former head Joel Farlow, who oversaw the details for much of the project.

“They’ve been great to us at Oak Hollow, Deep River, the other facilities,” Viera said. “But there’s nothing like having your own home court. This is just a great opportunity to offer a ministry to the people who come here.” shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

Raul Ibanez had two hits and two RBIs, and Ryan Howard and Jayson Werth drove in runs with key extra-base hits off 15game winner Ubaldo Jimenez.

Lee, the reigning AL Cy Young Award winner, struck out five and had no walks in his first career playoff start. He retired 16 straight batters at one point until Garrett Atkins hit a wind-blown double in the seventh.

NEW YORK (AP) — Derek Jeter and CC Sabathia got the New York Yankees off to a winning postseason start in their new ballpark. Even Alex Rodriguez broke out of his playoff rut against these tired Minnesota Twins.

Jeter tied it with a tworun homer, Sabathia was the ace the Yankees signed him to be, and New York romped over the Twins 72 Wednesday night in the opener of their AL playoff series.

After Jeter’s third-inning homer off loser Brian Duensing pulled New York even at 2-2, Nick Swisher pulled a go-ahead double down the left-field line in the fourth that scored Robinson Cano from first as the Twins made a pair of poor throws.

Rodriguez had gone 0 for 29 in the postseason with runners on base dating to Game 4 of the 2004 AL championship series before chasing Duensing.

Don’t get me wrong. I have tremendous respect for the swashbuckling Favre. Few players in league history bring more passion, excitement and drama to the game.

This guy is an all-time great.

But four weeks of wall-to-wall Favre is enough for awhile.

Michael Crabtree is confident he can play a big role for the San Francisco 49ers as a rookie even though he’s months behind.

He will get his chances in an offense that could really use him.

Crabtree signed a six-year contract early Wednesday after a drawnout negotiation process that had some wondering whether the star wide receiver would ever show up this season.

“It’s a lot of relief off my shoulders,” Crabtree said when formally introduced at team headquarters.

While specific terms of the deal, which was completed around 2 a.m. Wednesday, were not disclosed, Crabtree will receive nearly $17 million in guaranteed money, according to a person familiar with the contract.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the details weren’t made public.

Yankees batter weary Twins

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — One strike away from a shutout, Cliff Lee stepped off the mound, took a deep breath and allowed himself to enjoy the moment.

Quite a debut for a postseason rookie.

Lee dominated the Colorado Rockies, tossing a six-hitter, and the Philadelphia Phillies began their World Series title defense with a 5-1 victory in their playoff opener Wednesday.

TOP SCORES

The season opener saw the Vikings win 3420 at Cleveland in the first game of the Favre Era in Minnesota.

The next week it was Vikings 27, Lions 13 at Detroit in the first NFC North game of the Favre Era in Minnesota.

Then we witnessed Vikings 27, 49ers 24 in the first home game of the Favre Era in Minnesota. That contest also gave us Favre’s unforgettable 32-yard last-second touchdown pass to Greg Lewis. Let’s refer to that as the first amazing finish of the Favre Era in Minnesota.

And Monday night brought us Vikings 30, Packers 23 in the first game against his former team of the Favre Era in Minnesota.

That’s a bunch of Favre-ian moments.

Don’t look for a repeat Sunday, in what I’m terming the first game against a really crummy NFC West opponent of the Favre Era in Minnesota.

Of course, the contest could earn headlines if it turns into the first upset loss of the Favre Era in Minnesota.

Angels work to end playoff struggles against Red Sox ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — It’s still not a good idea to ask Kevin Youkilis and the Red Sox about jinxes, even when it seems Boston is holding one heck of a hex over the Los Angeles Angels. “We don’t believe in curses,� Youkilis said. “We never believed there was a curse in Boston. I don’t believe there’s a hex (on the Angels). It’s just

two teams going at it.�

Yet even Boston’s slugging first baseman realizes it’s tough to find an adequate explanation for Boston’s playoff domination of the Angels, which began nearly a quartercentury ago with one of the worst collapses in postseason history.

When the clubs open their third consecutive first-round series Thurs-

day night, AL West champion Los Angeles will take another crack at wild card-winning Boston, the once-bedeviled franchise that has ended three of the Angels’ past five seasons.

And it hasn’t even been close. The Angels have lost 12 of their last 13 postseason games against the Red Sox, including 9 of 10 over the last three series.

From left, Detroit Tigers’ Zach Miner, Rick Porcello, and Brent Dlugach watch in the dugout as the Minnesota Twins celebrate playoff win late Tuesday night.

Tigers deal with historic collapse DETROIT (AP) — The Detroit Tigers earned an unwanted place in baseball history, becoming the first team to miss out on the playoffs after having a three-game lead with four games left. “We have nobody to blame but ourselves for not wrapping it up last week at home,� Jim Leyland said Wednesday in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. “Shame on us.�

That doesn’t change how Detroit’s manager felt about a key moment in the 163rd game of the season.

Replays appeared to show that Brandon Inge’s jersey was grazed by a pitch with the bases loaded in the 12th inning at Minnesota, but the umpire didn’t put him on first to force home a go-ahead run. The Twins went on to score in the home half of the inning to win 6-5 Tues-

day, breaking a tie in the division to advance to the postseason and start the Tigers’ offseason. “I’m really upset that it ended the way it did, having Brandon get hit by a pitch because that totally changes that game,� Leyland said. “I can understand how the ump didn’t see the pitch hit him, but to say video was inconclusive upsets me because everybody in America saw that it did. “I think the head of the umpires or the league office should come out and say the umpire missed that call,� Leyland said.

It doesn’t sound like that’s going to happen.

Home plate umpire Randy Marsh said he did not see a replay that showed the ball hit Inge and Major League Baseball’s vice president of umpires stood

by Marsh.

“I understand and respect Jim’s call for accountability because umpires should acknowledge when they miss a call,� said MLB’s Mike Port, who said traveling has prevented him from seeing the pitch in question. “But if Randy Marsh, who has worked about 4,000 games, said the replays he saw were inconclusive, then I would have to agree with his assessment at this point. “I spoke to people today with more than 100 years of experience who saw replays and none of them would bet a large sum of money that it was conclusive one way or another,�

Port added.

Even though the Tigers took issue with the call that didn’t go their way, they missed other opportunities to win the game — a recurring problem late in the season.

HPU falls to Winthrop ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

HIGH POINT – Defending Big South champion Winthrop handed the High Point University men a hard-fought 1-0 loss Wednesday night at Vert Stadium even as the Panthers outshot the Eagles 11-10 overall and 8-5 in the second half while attempting to rally for the tying score. “We are disappointed to lose a conference game at home,� said Panthers coach Dustin Fonder. “That being said, I don’t

think we played up to our ability. Credit to Winthrop, they do a good job defensively of putting pressure on you and being organized. I think we didn’t rise to the challenge and get crisper in our attack to make them pay.�

Winthrop picked up the lone goal in the 19th minute when an Eagle free kick ran through the box from the right side past several players’ feet to the far post, where Daniel Di Biago tapped it into the open net.

NASCAR turns back clock on start times

BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

Trying to come up with a cure for slumping television ratings and to appease its fan base, NASCAR said that it will try earlier and standard start times for Cup races next season.

Afternoon races in the Eastern and Central time zones will have a listed start at 1 p.m.

Eastern, which was a common start time before television networks started dictating later starts – some with the intention of providing a strong lead-in to

prime-time programming.

Listed start times for races in the Western time zone will be 3 p.m. Eastern. Night races will start at 7:30 Eastern.

The one exemption for the new plan is the Coca-Cola 600 at Lowe’s Motor Speedway, which will keep its 5:45 p.m. start.

“NASCAR fans have been asking for earlier and more consistent start times, and we are making this change for our fans, beginning with the Daytona 500 next February,” said NASCAR Chairman and CEO Brian France. “We are revisit-

ing our sport’s tradition of earlier green flags, and the added consistency will make it easier for fans to know exactly when the races are being televised.”

France said the change was made after consultation with the networks that telecast Cup races: Fox, TNT and ESPN/ ABC. David Hill, president of Fox Sports, admitted that his network had erred in trying later start times.

“I think that we’ve started to tamper with something that we shouldn’t have,” Hill

said. “And I’ll put my hand up and say ‘guilty.’ ... What we’ve found, and our research and NASCAR’s research, is that the great thing about this sport is its wonderful, wonderful traditions. So we realize that even though we’re artificially trying to goose the figures, that it wasn’t doing us any good whatsoever with that core fan that created this sport and turned it from a regional sport into a major national sport.”

As a result of the changes, 28 races will start earlier. Of those, 20 will start at 1 p.m.,

most of them moving from a 2 p.m. start this year. Among the others is the season-opening Daytona 500, which started at 3:20 this year and was cut short by rain.

Most of the races not affected by the change were night races at Darlington, Bristol, Atlanta and Richmond that have 7:30 starts.

Actual times when the green flag will wave will be about 20 minutes after the published start times, the same as now. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Brunnhoelzl ready to clinch crown

BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

AREA MOTORSPORTS NOTES: Just getting to the green flag is the first objective for George Brunnhoelzl III on Saturday night.

Should that happen at the start of the 150lap feature at Caraway Speedway, third-generation driver Brunnhoelzl will claim the NASCAR Southern Modified championship by eliminating any possibility that Andy Seuss can overcome a 150-point deficit.

The championship will be sweet for New York native Brunnhoelzl because his father and grandfather were fixtures at modified tracks in the Northeast for years.

“Winning any championship is special, but to win the NASCAR Southern Modified Tour title is something that would mean everything to me,” Brunnhoelzl said earlier this season.

“We had a couple of bad breaks here and there, but were able to get through them, and that is why we are where we are today.”

Brunnhoelzl virtually clinched the title by winning last Friday night’s race at Ace Speedway while Seuss finished second.

“We had such a good car last week, and while we are not pouring the champagne just yet, we can see it getting closer,” Brunnhoelzl said after winning the Lightning Fast 150. “We did what we had to do to make it easier on us at Caraway. I am so thankful for my family and my crew to help me get here.”

THE REST OF THE SHOW Also on the card at Caraway on Saturday are two 25-lap Late Model Super Truck races, a 30-lap Sportsman race, 25 laps for the Southern Ground Pounders and a 10-lap U-Car race.

Jimmy Wallace of Winston-Salem and Clint King of Denton split victories in a pair of 25-lap Late Model Super Truck races last Saturday night.

Junior Johnson’s son, Robert, picked up his third Sportsman victory of the year. Josh Lowder of Archdale was second, with Gary Ledbetter of Lexington third and Cameron Hedgecock of

High Point fifth.

Eddie Mincey of Thomasville won the Street Stock race, with Jeff McGee of Trinity second, Justin Smith of Sophia third and David Shough of Trinity fourth. Keven Wood won the Legends Car event, and Zack Bralley prevailed in the U-Car race.

TITLE SHOWDOWN One of the closest championship battles in any series will play out in the final ARCA race of the year Sunday at Rockingham Speedway.

Justin Loftin leads Parker Kligerman by just 15 points, which would be erased if Kligerman wins the pole in Saturday qualifying and Loftin doesn’t qualify in the top three. The two have dominated the series, with Kligerman winning eight times and Loftin six in 20 races.

Practice and qualifying are scheduled to begin Saturday at 11:30 a.m. The American 200 is to get the green flag Sunday at 2:30.

HERE AND THERE Justin Labonte was the fastest in qualifying for the Carolina Clash dirt late model race Saturday night at Fayetteville. Labonte finished 11th in the 50-lap feature won by Chris Ferguson.

Jeff Smith holds a 42point lead over Ricky Weeks, with Labonte in eighth, going into a race Saturday night at Lancaster Speedway in South Carolina. ... Ryan Blaney is second in PASS South late model standings with the next event Oct. 16 at South Boston Speedway. ...

Jerry Cook of High Point won the Stock 4-Cylinder feature Saturday night at 311 Fastrack. ... The NHRA drag racing series ends its run of four meets in four weekends with a stop at Virginia Motorsports Park south of Petersburg. Tony Schumacher is the Top Fuel leader by 54 points over Larry Dixon. Ashley Force Hood leads Funny Car by three points over Robert Hight. Mike Edwards holds the Pro Stock lead by 78 points over Jason Line. Hector Arana is 28 points in front of Eddie Krawiec in Pro Stock Motorcycle. ... Kevin Harvick will hold his annual fan club gathering Oct. 24 at the Kevin Harvick Inc. shops in Kernersville.

Kurt Busch not atwitter over Chase start

W

hen it comes to getting publicity, Kurt Busch takes a pass when it comes to the more recent forms of communication on the Internet such as Facebook and Twitter.

It’s not because of his age. At 31, he’s a son of the digital age. He’d just rather get his name out the old ways rather than Tweet.

“Those social networking devices, SPORTS as they are called, are really getting Greer into so much detail Smith they can leave you ■■■ vulnerable,” Busch said. “That’s why I don’t participate in them. I don’t think it’s necessary.

“There are plenty of avenues for media exposure, not only for myself but my team (Penske Racing), sponsor (Miller) and Dodge (his car manufacturer), and still continue to do things that won’t leave you vulnerable for certain types of situations that can arise from this Facebook or Twitter.”

When it comes to what is happening on the track, Busch isn’t quite as stodgy.

He realizes that he can’t settle for the finishes of sixth, fifth and 11th that he produced in the races so far in the Chase for the Championship and win the title for the second time.

Some of the realization results from remembering the red-hot streaks that Jimmie Johnson went through in winning the last three titles. Business was hectic

during that time and hasn’t been slow this year.

Eight drivers are within 114 points of each other going into Sunday’s 500-miler at Fontana, Calif. Busch is one of them as he sits fifth, 91 points behind leader Mark Martin.

The tight pack forms the most competitive Chase in the six years of the format.

But Busch didn’t let grass grow under his car when he won the title in 2004. That year, he won the Chase opener at New Hampshire and finished fifth in the next two races for an average finish of just under four, far better than his average finish of seventh this year.

Busch, then driving for Roush Racing, threatened to run away to the title before suffering engine failure at Atlanta, the seventh race in the playoff that year. That eventually helped turn the Chase into a scramble that went down to the last lap of the final race as Busch finished eight points ahead of runner-up Johnson and 16 in front of third-place Jeff Gordon.

“Well, the game seems to have picked up a little bit (since 2004),” Busch said. “You have to run better than an average finish of seventh place if you want to be in contention. So we are going to have to bump this up and see if we can get in victory lane in the upcoming weeks to see if we can offset the strong starts by some of the other people.”

He hopes to offset finishing ninth among the Chase contenders even though he came in 11th last Sunday at Kansas Speedway.

“That was not a good day,”

Busch said. “An 11th-place finish can be OK, but not when that many Chase guys finish in front of you.

The atmosphere surrounding the Chase is very intense. It is definitely a pressure-cooker situation.”

Adding to the pressure for Busch is the belief that a driver who has a bad race will not be able to make up a lot of ground.

“If guys continue to post top-10 finishes, there is no way you’ll have the ability to have a bad day and then make up ground just with bonus points or wins. Consistency still plays a vital role.”

Complicating the mix for Busch is that his crew chief, Pat Tryson, is leaving at the end of the season.

Until he is out of championship contention, Busch isn’t thinking about who might be hired as Tryson’s replacement.

“Who knows how it will shake out?” Busch said. “We’re focused on this 2009 Chase.

“Once we find ourselves out of position, which we hope we don’t, then we’ll look down that chapter.

For me, the ability to work with anybody has been a strong point.

We do have to find the right guy to put into this position because there is such a high demand to do well, and we don’t want to take too much time having to crawl up to speed.”

Busch just hopes he doesn’t slow to a crawl before the switch is made. It’s a safe bet that when Tryson’s replacement is hired, Busch won’t be broadcasting it on Facebook or Twitter.

Patrick shifts attention away from title chase HOMESTEAD, Fla. (AP) — Danica Patrick’s moment of clarity came three years ago.

It was the Firestone Indy 400 at Michigan International Speedway, a race made memorable by a meltdown.

Patrick ran out of gas with less than three laps to go, climbed from her car and embarked on a foot-stomping, fist-shaking tantrum

before taking refuge behind the pit wall.

Never did it cross her mind that people were watching.

“I figured, ’Oh, the last couple laps of the race are going on — they’re not looking at me right now,”’ Patrick said. “Then I kind of find out there was a camera focused purely on me.”

From the moment Patrick joined the Indy Racing

League, just about all the cameras have been focused on her.

It’ll be that way again this weekend at Homestead-Miami Speedway when Patrick lines up in the seasonending Firestone Indy 300, where two stories will likely take center stage: The supertight championship battle between Scott Dixon, Dario Franchitti and Ryan Bris-

coe, and Patrick’s plans for 2010 and beyond.

“We feel pretty comfortable — although it’s not our announcement to make and it’s a little bit premature — that she’s going to be with us and she’s going to be with us for a reasonably good term,” said Terry Angstadt, the president of IndyCar’s commercial division. “She’s a star.”

More focus, better treatments sought for concussions NEW YORK (AP) — The days of a football player getting his bell rung, taking a whiff of smelling salts and getting back on the field are gone.

Florida quarterback Tim Tebow can attest to that. The Heisman Trophy winner took a hard hit to the head and chest by a Kentucky lineman and had the back of his head driven into the knee of a teammate. The concussion he received put him in the hospital for a night and left his status for No. 1 Florida’s huge game against No. 4 LSU on Saturday in doubt. “The concussion in the past was called a ding, a so-called minor injury,� said Dr. Julian Bailes, the chair of West Virginia University’s department of neurosurgery. “The last five years there has been more research and understanding on how they occur and how we take care of them.�

A spate of studies — including one commissioned by the NFL and released last week that found retired profession-

al football players may have a higher rate than normal of Alzheimer’s disease and other memory problems — have gained widespread attention in recent years. There’s even a new law in Washington state, setting out conditions for how head injuries are to be dealt with in sports.

With this backdrop, football is changing how it deals with blows to the head.

How much? In 1994, after sustaining a concussion, former NFL fullback Merril Hoge says he was cleared to play over the phone by a doctor who was not a neurologist.

A few weeks later, Hoge suffered another concussion he says almost killed him because he came back from the first too soon. It ended his playing career and to this day he still deals with postconcussion syndrome.

The plight of former NFL players such as Hoge is part of what has led to the increased scrutiny today. Major college teams seem to be getting the message.

“We hold guys out a lot longer than we used to,� USC coach Pete Carroll said.

Tebow has been through a battery of tests and had doctors and athletic trainers monitoring his symptoms since that night at Commonwealth Stadium in Lexington, Ky. He practiced for the first time since the injury on Tuesday.

So what exactly does it take to be cleared to play after a concussion?

Bailes said the general rule is an athlete needs to be symptom-free for one week. The most common symptoms are headaches, dizziness and nausea.

Victims of a concussion can also have trouble concentrating and problems with eyesight.

Often the symptoms can be subtle, so it’s up to the doctor to ask pointed questions and for patients to be honest about, and keenly aware of, what’s going on with their bodies, Bailes said. “There’s a greater appreciation of the seriousness of the injury,� he said.

McNabb plans to start

Florida State president: Bowden safe for now TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Florida State University president T.K. Wetherell says coach Bobby Bowden’s job is safe for now.

Wetherell said the football coaching situation will be re-evaluated at the end of the season. He reiterated that offensive coordinator Jimbo Fisher will be the next head coach when Bowden leaves and the university will work with Fisher on an agreement. “FSU does not make

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PHILADELPHIA — Donovan McNabb is ready to pull on the No. 5 gameday jersey, take the snap, drop back and throw the ball downfield.

McNabb plans to start when Philadelphia plays Tampa Bay on Sunday, his first action since breaking his rib in the season opener.

McNabb still feels some discomfort and needs a protective jacket to absorb punishing hits.

NO GUARANTEE EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — While his painful heel injury is improving, Eli Manning is not guaranteeing he will quarterback the New York Giants this weekend against the Oakland Raiders. “If I feel like I can go out and play at a high level and help the team and do everything I can do, and they don’t have to limit the game plan or say you can’t do this or that, I’ll go out there and play,� Manning said.

NO PRACTICE FOR STAFFORD ALLEN PARK, Mich. — Matthew Stafford was held out of practice Wednesday by the Detroit Lions because of his injured right knee.

The Lions chose to not say anything more than that.

HASSELBECK BACK BRENTON, Wash. — Matt Hasselbeck has made it through his first Seahawks practice with a broken rib. Playing in Sunday’s game against Jacksonville remains another matter.

The three-time Pro Bowl passer gave a tepid “OK� assessment of Wednesday’s practice, his first on-field work since he got hurt Sept.

20 on a dive for the goal line in San Francisco.

He says he will do all he can on the field through Friday, and will then let coaches and doctors decide if he’s able to return.

AP

Carolina Panthers running back DeAngelo Williams (34) is tackled by Dallas Cowboys defensive end Jay Ratliff (90) in the first half of the Cowboys victory on Sept. 28.

Williams, Panthers hope to put weak running game in pink CHARLOTTE (AP) — DeAngelo Williams was behind the NFL’s decision to allow players to wear pink cleats to raise awareness for breast cancer, then was home for his bye weekend when the initiative began last weekend.

Williams will be a week late donning pink Sunday against Washington, while the Carolina Panthers hope the Redskins game marks the day they finally get their running game in gear and record a win.

That would be coming a full month late. “We’ve kind of been behind a little bit in the games so we’ve had to abandon the run game faster than we would have liked,� Williams said Wednesday. “We’ll see.

Each game takes on a different beast all in its own.

We’ll see if we can control the clock.�

A year after rushing for a franchise-record 1,515

yards and 18 touchdowns, and combining with Jonathan Stewart for the most yards rushing by NFL teammates since 1984, Williams’ numbers have declined in Carolina’s 0-3 start.

Williams has been held to 41 carries for 180 yards and two touchdowns. Williams is getting 13.7 carries a game after averaging 17 a year ago.

The Panthers, who last year attempted a leaguelow 25.9 passes a game, have been throwing it an average of 36 times this year — without success. “That’s what we do, we run the ball,� right tackle Jeff Otah said. “We’ve got to start out running the ball strong at the beginning of the game and keep on doing it.�

Coach John Fox has attributed the decline in the rushing attempts to falling behind. That was the case in Carolina’s 3810 loss to Philadelphia

in Week 1. The Panthers were in games until late the next two weeks, yet had 41 passes to 25 runs against Atlanta and 33 passes to 16 runs against Dallas. “I can’t call the plays, man,� Williams said. “Whether we’re running the ball or whether we’re passing the ball we have to make our plays. That’s something we’ve been inconsistent in, making our plays, as opposed to a year ago.�

The running game last season took off after the bye week, and Williams would like a similar breakout Sunday while he honors his mom’s successful battle with cancer.

Williams, who said he lost three aunts to the disease, didn’t know his mother was diagnosed until after she was treated. “She got it removed and she’s been in remission,�

Williams said. “She’s a five-year survivor.�

Hoover returns to practice CASH FOR GOLD

CHARLOTTE (AP) — The winless Carolina Panthers are slowly getting healthy.

Starting safety Chris Harris, fullback Brad Hoover and linebacker Na’il Diggs all practiced

Wednesday.

Reserve defensive end Everette Brown also participated, while running back Jonathan Stewart was limited due to continued pain his left Achilles’ tendon.

PITTSBURGH – Steelers running back Willie Parker isn’t optimistic about playing in Detroit.

An injured left big toe kept Parker out of the Steelers’ 38-28 victory over San Diego on Sunday and Rashard Mendenhall ran for 165 yards and two touchdowns in his place.

“I don’t worry about a player not being honest with me.�

To help doctors assess an athlete’s recovery from a concussion, major college football programs frequently use what’s called baseline testing.

University of Georgia head athletic trainer Ron Courson said all athletes who would be susceptible to concussions in their sports are given neurological balance and psychological tests that measure memory, reaction and recognition before their seasons start.

Athletes who sustain a concussion are tested again and the results of their healthy tests and post-concussion tests are compared. “If I ask you to say the months of the year backwards, you might get all 12 but it might take a minute and a half and normally it would take you 15 seconds,� he said.

Baseline testing takes much of the subjectivity out of the process, Courson said.

FORMAT: Two best balls on each hole; team pairings drawn from a hat WINNERS: Roger Smith, Buck Stanley, Bob Inman and Randy Sage, 2-under; second place at even-par was the team of Larry Townsend, Jim Myers, Ron Staton and Doug Diggs; third at 2-over in a scorecard playoff was the foursome of Bobby Rogers, Homer Spencer, Gordon Thacker and Chigger Morrow; also at 2-over were Harvard Turnbull, Richard Kennedy, Larry Staples and Bill Hylton OF NOTE: Townsend carded the lowest score of the day at 69; next HPSGA event comes Wednesday at Oak Hollow.

coaching changes in the middle of the season,�

Wetherell said in a news release. “What message would it send to anyone — friend or foe — to do that at this time?�

Bowden said he appreciated Wetherell’s backing. “I think he’s wise and I’m very thankful,� Bowden said. “You would like to go out on top. The season is not over. Let’s get the season over and see what happens.�

Stocks end mixed as earnings loom NEW YORK (AP) — After two big days, it was time for the stock market to take a break.

Investors waiting for corporate earnings reports to start rolling in made only modest moves Wednesday after stocks posted their best two-day gain since mid-July. The Dow Jones industrial average slipped 6 points, while broader indexes edged higher.

With little economic news to direct trading, investors were waiting for earnings reports from the July-September quarter for signals about the economy.

Aluminum maker Alcoa Inc. was the first of the 30 companies that make up the Dow Jones industrials to release its numbers,

but the report didn’t arrive until after the closing bell.

Still, investors were happy with the news that the company was profitable again after three losing quarters, and that revenue and earnings topped expectations.

Alcoa stock rose in extended-hours trading.

The Dow fell 5.67, or 0.1 percent, to 9,725.58. The S&P 500 index rose 2.86, or 0.3 percent, to 1,057.58, while the Nasdaq composite index rose 6.76, or 0.3 percent, to 2,110.33.

A falling dollar and rising commodity prices helped push stocks higher on Tuesday, adding to the previous day’s gains that were spurred by signs of growth in the service industry.

Furniture orders slide HIGH POINT - New furniture orders continued on a downward spiral in July, but other economic indicators may signal some relief for the industry, according to the latest Furniture Insights report.

Based on a survey of participating manufacturers and distributors, new orders were down 16 percent in July compared to 2008 levels and were down 10 percent from June. Yearto-date, new orders were 20 percent lower than last year’s first seven months, the same results reported for June.

The Fourth of July holiday may have accounted for some of the decline, including a 19 percent drop in shipments compared to July 2008. “...That is normal with the combination of July normally being a slower sales month, plus most participants taking off at least a week for the July 4 vacation,” said Ken Smith, a CPA with Smith Leonard PLLC who produces the monthly report.

Furniture experts said some spike in retail sales should occur

as the fall season approaches.

“Typically June and July are the worst two months for retail sales,” said Jerry Epperson, long time industry analyst and managing director of Mann, Armistead and Epperson in Richmond, Va. “We usually see a pick up in August. Hopefully, we’ll get that this year.” phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

Deadline set for Google book deal NEW YORK (AP) — A federal judge set a Nov. 9 deadline Wednesday for submitting a revised agreement in the battle over Google Inc.’s effort to get digital rights to millions of out-of-print books.

U.S. District Judge Denny Chin set the deadline after a lawyer for authors told the judge that Google and lawyers for authors and publishers were working around the clock to reach a new deal by early November.

A $125 million agreement was being renegotiated after the U.S. government said it seemed the existing agreement would violate antitrust laws.

The hearing Wednesday was originally set as a fairness hearing but was changed to a scheduling conference after all sides agreed that a new deal was needed.

Ciena bids for Nortel business units TORONTO (AP) — Ciena Corp. is offering cash and stock worth $521 million to acquire some of Nortel’s most-prized remaining business units as the fallen telecommunications company continues to liquidate.

The deal announced Wednesday covers the Nortel Optical Networking and Carrier Ethernet businesses, which have been considered among the best assets yet to be sold by Nortel.

Nortel said its agreement with Ciena calls for the Linthicum, Md.-based company to offer jobs to at least 2,000 employees, or more than 85 percent of total at Nortel’s Optical Networking and Carrier Ethernet business units.

EU prepares to settle Microsoft case BRUSSELS (AP) — European Union regulators said Wednesday they were preparing to settle a long and costly antitrust battle with Microsoft Corp. with a deal to give Windows users a choice of web browsers.

Microsoft promised the changes after the EU charged it with monopoly abuse for tying the Internet Explorer browser to the Windows operating system installed on most of the world’s desktop computers.

Costco profit falls 6 percent but tops views NEW YORK (AP) — Costco Wholesale Corp. said Wednesday that its fiscal fourth-quarter profit fell 6 percent, partly on the stronger dollar and increased employee benefit costs, but results beat analysts’ estimates.

The warehouse club operator earned $374 million, or 85 cents per share, for the quarter ended Aug. 30. That’s down from $398 million, or 90 cents per share, a year earlier.

Brookings warns of more flight delays DALLAS (AP) – Lengthy airline delays are twice as common now as in 1990 and will get worse as the economy recovers, according to a Brookings Institution report released today.

The researchers said much of the problem is due to heavy concentrations of short trips between big cities, but they also cited an “ill-equipped” air traffic control system and other factors.

They suggested increasing high-speed rail service to offer travelers alternatives to short flights. They also recommended letting busy airports charge fees

on rush-hour flights to make airlines spread trips more evenly through the day.

According to Brookings, 10.1 percent of all flights now arrive at least two hours late, up from 4.3 percent in 1990. The average delay is nearly an hour, 41 minutes longer than in 1990.

Some findings in the Brookings report were hardly surprising. The researchers found New York to be the worst metro area in the country for late flights, something that has been evident in monthly on-time reports from the Transportation Department.

Key GM leader leaves DETROIT (AP) – Less than a week after reporting a sharp drop in September sales, GM said its North American sales chief is leaving as the automaker struggles to prop up its falling share of the market.

General Motors Co. CEO Fritz Henderson announced the departure of Mark LaNeve on Wednesday during a conference call with media and investors. LaNeve, 50, is taking a job at a firm outside the auto industry effective Oct. 15, GM spokesman John McDonald said.

Although LaNeve’s replacement has yet to be determined, his exit gives the company an opportu-

nity to bring in fresh talent and a different view on sales, Henderson said. But that doesn’t mean a successor automatically will be brought in from outside.

“We would benefit from fresh perspectives,” he said.

GM’s September U.S. sales plunged 45 percent, crashing after the government’s Cash for Clunkers program wrapped up at the end of August. So far this year, its sales are down 36 percent.

GM’s global market share stood at 11.9 percent in the third quarter, down from 12.4 percent in 2008, largely because of falling sales in the U.S. and Canada.

Compuware to buy Gomez Inc.

Anheuser-Busch InBev sells amusement parks NEW YORK (AP) – Anheuser-Busch InBev said Wednesday it will sell its theme parks, including the three SeaWorlds and two Busch Gardens across the country, to private equity firm Blackstone Group for at least $2.3 billion.

The world’s largest brewer, based in Belgium, has been shedding assets to help pay for the $52 billion take-

DILBERT

over of St. Louis-based Anheuser-Busch that formed the company last year.

The two sides confirmed the deal Wednesday, saying Blackstone will pay $2.3 billion in cash and give Anheuser-Busch InBev the right to up to $400 million of Blackstone’s initial returns.

Blackstone’s other investments include Universal

Studios Orlando and Madame Tussauds wax museums so the theme parks fit into its portfolio.

Anheuser-Busch InBev’s Busch Entertainment Corp. consists of 10 amusement parks, including SeaWorld parks in Florida, Texas and California; Busch Gardens in Florida and Virginia and other parks including Sesame Place and Adventure Island.

DETROIT – Compuware Corp., whose software improves the performance of computer programs used by companies to run their operations, said Wednesday it is acquiring Gomez Inc. for $295 million in cash.

The deal, which is expected to close in November, gives Compuware a company that manages, tests and measures the performance of corporate Web sites and mobile applications.

Compuware Chief Operating Officer Bob Paul said Compuware will have a well-rounded suite of services for corporate computer systems as well as on the Web and mobile, which is key as businesses move critical applications onto the Internet.

Oil falls despite supply drop NEW YORK – Oil prices fell Wednesday as traders shrugged off an unexpected drop in crude supplies and focused instead on government data that showed Americans still have little appetite for more petroleum.

Benchmark crude for November delivery lost $1.15 to trade at $69.73 on the New York Mercantile Exchange. In London, Brent crude gave up 68 cents to $67.88 on the ICE Futures exchange.

Dad’s song catalog turns into disc for Rosanne Cash

BY DAVID BAUDER AP ENTERTAINMENT WRITER

N

EW YORK – Make no mistake, Rosanne Cash fully understands the value of the sheet of yellow lined paper her father handed to her one summer day in 1973. Now she’s giving the world a peek.

Back then, she was 18, just graduated from high school, a daughter of divorce eager to spend time with her dad and learn the family business. She tagged along on a concert tour and talked music during the long bus rides. When Johnny Cash grew alarmed at the songs Rosanne didn’t know, he sat down with a pad and pen.

What he produced was a syllabus worthy of a master professor: Johnny Cash’s list of the “100 Essential Country Songs.”

Twelve of those songs make up “The List,” Cash’s new CD. Her first covers album includes duets with Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Costello, Jeff Tweedy and Rufus Wainwright.

Cash had put the list away after learning many of the songs. She had her own path to forge. It was forgotten in a box of memorabilia until she happened upon it late in 2005 while writing narrative portions of her “Black Cadillac” stage show. She talked about it during the concerts and fans would inevitably ask when she was going to record the songs. Her husband, music producer and guitarist John Leventhal, no doubt smiled.

“My husband has been telling me for 17 years, ‘Your voice is really well-suited to these songs,’ and I would go, ‘I’m a songwriter, I’m a songwriter,’ ” she said.

“Well, it turns out my voice really is well-suited to these songs.”

The disc showcases some of the best singing in Cash’s career, as she faces the challenge of carrying melodies other than her own and putting her stamp on songs already well known. The often spare arrangements also emphasize Leventhal’s guitar.

Cash begins with “Miss the Mississippi and You,” which the father of country music, Jimmie Rodgers, recorded in 1932. She ends with the Carter Family’s “Bury Me Under the Weeping Willow,” which always reminds Cash of her step-aunt Helen Carter, who taught her the guitar.

The disc’s emotional centerpiece is the heartbreak trio of “Long Black Veil,” a duet with Wilco’s Tweedy on a prisoner’s tale best known through Johnny Cash’s version; the Patsy Cline hit “She’s Got You”; and Bob Dylan’s “Girl From the North Country,” a composition that

Recording meant finding the songs’ emotional core. “It’s like going through tunnels and layers,” she said.

The songs are some of the things that connect father and daughter and, Rosanne believed, it was time to claim the legacy.

“I don’t have that young person’s feeling of trying to get away from my ancestry and parents and what they passed on,” she said. “In fact, I want to embrace it, so I can show it and pass it along to my own (five) kids. It’s just unseemly at my age (54) to be doing that kind of ‘chip on your shoulder’ rebellion.”

Besides the personal connection, it’s important to keep the songs alive, she said.

“Can you imagine America without this music?” she said.

“It’s who we are, culturally. It’s as

important as the Civil War, these songs. Personally, I would hate to see them become something you just visit at a museum. I think they are living and breathing and part of our cultural legacy.”

“The List” is probably part of Cash’s grieving process, said Jay Orr, a Country Music Hall of Fame historian. He recalled the Everly Brothers putting out an album, “Songs Our Daddy Taught Us,” during the peak of their success.

“The songs benefit from being dusted off and shared again in new arrangements that are contemporary and appealing,” Orr said.

She’s often thought about how the list would be different if her father had compiled it closer to his death in 2003. George Jones’ “He Stopped Loving Her Today” would probably be on it. He loved Springsteen’s “Nebraska” album and would likely have included one of those songs. Her father

wasn’t so modest as to leave his own material off the list, but you’ll have to guess what it is.

Cash has also recorded a couple of extras: a duet with Neko Case on Porter Wagoner’s “Satisfied Mind” will be available on iTunes. Mickey Newbury’s “Sweet Memories” is another promotional item.

That makes 14. She noted “This Land is Your Land” is on the list, revealing a song that she didn’t want to record because it’s so well known.

So what about the other 85?

Sorry.

How much has she been offered to reveal it? “A lot,” Cash said with a laugh. She’s already thinking about a second volume of “The List.” Why give anyone the chance to beat her to it?

“I like having it as my own,” she said. “It’s like a martial arts secret.”

Suarez was nominated for her portrayal of “La Bambi,” a prisoner in love with another female inmate.

“I think we need this kind of TV, we need to portray what happens in our country,” the Mexican actress said of the gritty prison drama.

Thursday, October 8, 2009 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Nick Cannon, 29; Matt Damon, 39; Sigourney Weaver, 60; Chevy Chase, 66 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Explore new avenues this year. Set goals that include updating your image, mindset and surroundings. The more progressive you are, the better you will feel about your future and the direction you are heading.

Don’t procrastinate – focus on here and now.

Your numbers are 7, 12, 25, 33, 38, 40, 44 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your ability to work with others and to form partnerships will be the deciding factor regarding your success in the future. Use your imagination and you will come up with something very unique, user friendly or high tech. ★★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t trust anyone to handle your responsibilities. An affectionate encounter will boost your confidence and create a situation that helps define the changes you want to make personally and professionally.

Don’t take a risk with your cash or emotions. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t let your emotions stand in the way of your productivity.

You have to allow some space between you and someone who has been difficult to get along with.

An impulse purchase will not make you feel better or help your financial situation. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): You must take advantage of an opportunity even if it does frighten you to dive into a new environment or situation. The payback will be worth the little bit of nervous stress you initially feel. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Just because someone asks for something doesn’t mean you have to give it away for free. Put a price tag on what you have to offer and you will gain respect as well as extra cash for your services. A lifestyle change may be in order. ★★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You may have everything ready to go according to your plans but don’t expect things to run smoothly. Emotions will be running wild and problems with someone you care about will lead to small but costly mistakes if you aren’t careful. ★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Getting away will be fun but, if you are going to travel into unknown territory, do your homework first.

Changes of staff or an upset in the industry you work for will make you feel stronger about taking on a new task or even your own little enterprise. ★★★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Protect your assets. You can build a strong foundation if you are careful how you spend your money. Make the changes at home that will bring the greatest value to your premises or sell off the things that are just collecting dust. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Don’t let your emotions lead you astray. Unexpected changes at home will have to be dealt with immediately. The best out will be sizing down, refinancing or restructuring your current budget.

Your responsibilities are mounting. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You need a break. A jaunt of some sort will inspire you and help you make a choice that will benefit you personally, romantically and financially. The changes you have coming up are positive. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A change must be brought into the equation if you are to stabilize your position and secure your future. There is an opportunity but it will require you to put in some long hours and to learn something new. ★★★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You’ll find it difficult to concentrate. Don’t let your emotions drag you down or cause you to do or say something that will get you in trouble with the people you love. A partnership that went wrong may need some work. ★★

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

Cy the Cynic is one of those people who get by despite no visible means of support.

“If you don’t work and never did,” I said, “how do you survive?”

“I have often depended,” the Cynic replied solemnly, “on the blindness of strangers.”

Cy, West, led a trump against four hearts: three from dummy, queen, deuce.

Cy won the trump return and led a third trump.

South then had only nine tricks: He couldn’t ruff any diamonds in dummy. He struggled but went down.

“Good lead,” South shrugged.

“It was a blind lead,” North growled, “like your play.”

DISCARDS I might have led a spade.

I’d have been afraid dummy’s clubs would provide discards. When Cy led a trump, South should have put up the king: Cy wouldn’t have led a trump from the queen but might have led from the ace.

South then leads the ace and ten of diamonds. East takes the king and cashes the queen of trumps, but since Cy can’t get in to take the ace, South can ruff a diamond in dummy for his 10th trick.

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S 10 7 5 2 H K 9 3 D A 10 C K J 10 9.

Your partner opens one diamond, you respond one spade and he bids 1NT. The opponents pass.

What do you say?

ANSWER: This hand is more powerful than its high-card count indicates. The good spots cards – tens and nines – will be useful, especially at notrump. If vulnerable, I’d raise to 3NT. If partner has a minimum hand such as Q 9, A 8 6, K Q 9 4 2, Q 5 4, he’ll have an excellent chance for nine tricks.

South dealer Neither side vulnerable

---

ONE STAR: It’s best to avoid conflicts; work behind the scenes or read a good book. Two stars: You can accomplish but don’t rely on others for help. Three stars: If you focus, you will reach your goals. Four stars: You can pretty much do as you please, a good time to start new projects. Five stars: Nothing can stop you now. Go for the gold.

Tallest dog?

Boomer, a 180-pound Landseer Newfoundland, stands with owner Caryn Weber at her home south of Casselton, N.D., Tuesday. The dog measures seven feet from nose to tail and stands 36 inches tall at the shoulders. Weber will send his measurements to Guinness World Records for consideration as the tallest living dog.

A Sister is one who reaches for your hand and touches your heart.

Sisters are for sharing laughter and memories.

We miss your witty ways and your nice compliments.

You are a beautiful person.

Not a day goes by you aren’t remembered.

God saw you getting tired, He knew you needed rest.

He put his arms around you and whispered “Come to Me.’’ His Garden must be beautiful, for he only takes the best.

It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone, For part of us went with you the day God called you home.

You’re in the Arms of an Angel now.

Love Your Sisters!
