HIGH POINT – At Mendenhall Station in downtown High Point Monday, Dave Phillips pointed out the nearby site of the former filling station where the career of Willis Slane was launched.

Slane’s dream of developing a sportfishing boat to withstand rough ocean waters off the Outer Banks came to fruition with his idea to make the vessels out of fiberglass, That decision led him to launch Hatteras Yachts 50 years ago.

“High Point is known as the furniture capital of the world, but the name Hatteras Yachts is known throughout the world, and Willis Slane did that,” said Phillips, a former U.S. Ambassador to Estonia and former North Carolina Secretary of Commerce.

Slane was one of eight High Point Heroes honored in a dedication ceremony in the heart of the furniture showroom district, where the names of the honorees are on plaques within a few blocks of each other on a walking tour. The project highlights the contributions

Jordon III and Aaron Clinard. of business and civic leaders, educators, members of the military, athletes and others who made their mark in the world.

“High Point has such an entrepreneurial spirit,” said Aaron Clinard, chairman of High Point’s Downtown Improvement Committee, which spearheaded the project. “All you have to do is look at today’s inductees. It’s a sampling of so many others who started a business here and made a name here.”

Clinard developed the idea and helped secure funding for the project through the High Point Convention & Visitors Bureau.

“Aaron Clinard had the

tenacity to get it done. He’s been talking about it for three years,” said Mayor Becky Smothers.

High Point University baseball coach Craig Cozart inducted Luke Appling, a Hall of Famer Chicago White Sox shortstop whose 20-year career began in 1930 and who was born in High Point.

“In a way, he represented America’s struggle through the (Great) Depression as it prepared for yet another war. He was arguably one of the most injury-plagued players ever,” he said of Appling, who batted .300 or better for nine straight seasons and was a seven-time Major

League All-Star. “In spite of his teams’ lack of talent, he still managed to be a pitcher’s worst nightmare.”

Local interior designer Pat Plaxico shared the story of Myrtle Furr Hayworth Barthmaier, who took over her husband’s business, Hayworth Industries, after his death in 1928 while raising six children.

“I don’t know of any woman running a furniture factory back then, much less the five she kept in production during the Depression years,” Plaxico said. “She had no business training but learned from experience.” pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

Hurricane won’t have much impact on Triad

BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

AP

Personal water craft are used to keep watch on bathers in Ocean City, N.J. Swimmers along the Atlantic Coast are being warned to stay close to shore or out of the water altogether until Hurricanes Danielle and Earl run their course.

TRIAD – Residents of the area should experience little to no direct effect from massive Hurricane Earl churning in the Atlantic Ocean, unless the storm takes an unexpected shift to the west this week.

Earl had become a major Category 4 storm in the southern Atlantic with 125 mph winds as of Monday.

Most forecast tracks have Earl staying off the American coastline and moving north parallel to the Eastern Seaboard through this week. The impact of Earl will depend on how the storm tracks.

“We have to pay really, really close attention to the

Fiona forms behind Earl. 2A track,” said Katie Roussy, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Raleigh.

If Earl takes an unexpected shift to the west, it not only could threaten parts of the East Coast but have an effect on weather later this week in the Piedmont.

“Right now the official track has it tracking offshore the coast of North Carolina, which would be good for us. If it tracks further west, it could make landfall along or near the Outer Banks,” Roussy said Monday afternoon.

Any impact on the Pied-

mont later this week would take the form of rain and gusty winds, though the effect shouldn’t be severe. The effect on the region, if it happens, probably would take place Thursday or Friday.

If Earl stays on its expected track and keeps more eastward, the impact on the Piedmont won’t occur at all.

“It looks like it will stay far enough away that it will keep the sunny weather where it is (in the Piedmont),” said Tom Kines, senior meteorologist with AccuWeather. “As the storm heads up into the northeastern Atlantic, it’ll probably pull some cooler and less humid air in your area over the weekend.” pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

Speakers recall successes, legacy of High Point Heroes

BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

Kim Jones straps a saddle onto her horse Star at the Poplar Grove Equestrian Center in Ravenel before she takes a ride last Tuesday. Jones suffered injuries to her brain stem and cerebellum, the part of the brain that controls movement and balance, when she fell off her horse in 2001.

Back in the saddle

SC woman qualifies for equestrian event after accident CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) – Kim Jones remembers the time and the date – about 7 p.m. on May 24, 2001 – but not much else about the accident.

An avid and experienced rider, Jones was breaking in a newly acquired quarter horse at a stable in Camden.

“He was a little nervous around other horses,” Jones said. “So I’m not sure what he did, but I think it had something to do with that.”

Whatever happened, Jones fell from her horse. She next remembers staring up at concerned faces, and hearing someone say, “She’s not breathing.”

Jones suffered injuries to her brain stem and cerebellum, the part of the brain that controls movement and balance. She also suffered injuries to the C-1 and C2 vertebrae in her spine, leaving her with only partial use of her legs.

The next sentence in this story could have read, “She never rode again.”

But that’s not Kim Jones’ story.

“Some people say, ‘She’s crazy for thinking about getting on a horse again,’ ” said a friend, Lori Reed of Summerville. “But she has stuck with it. Lots of people find excuses not to go for their hopes and dreams, but she is going for it.”

Jones, 43, has qualified as an alternate for the U.S. Para-Dressage team at the 2010 World Equestrian Games, which will be held in America for the first time from Sept. 25 to Oct. 10 in Lexington, Ky. It’s also the first time that ParaDressage, for riders with disabilities, has been part of the equestrian games.

“It’s a big deal for us,” Jones said.

But it’s not been an easy road for the petite, soft-spoken blonde, who had to give up her career as a nurse in the neonatal intensive care unit at Medical University Hospital after her accident.

Now she lives with her 69-yearold mother in Georgetown, gets by

on disability payments and loads her wheelchair into the back of a 2006 Nissan Sentra to drive across the country to pursue her love of riding.

“That’s why I admire her so much, as do so many other people,” said Reed, who knows Jones as part of the horse scene in Summerville and Ridgeville. “Kim is very good-natured and has a really good spirit. She doesn’t let things get her down. She just gets in her little car and makes it happen. She drives to Florida, Chicago, wherever, by herself.

She takes her wheelchair and her walker and off she goes.”

But it took Jones about three years after her accident to get back on a horse. Jones boarded the horse at a stable in Columbia while undergoing physical therapy. Without telling anyone one day, she maneuvered her horse next to a tall haystack, hauled herself up and mounted a horse for the first time since her accident.

The minister not only had the same name as the wanted man, but the same birth date – and a Texas driver’s license.

So he wound up handcuffed and taken to a Shreveport jail.

Jones says that deputies treated him well and assured him they were

checking his claims. A photograph and fingerprint check eventually confirmed he wasn’t the wanted man.

Caddo police Lt. Don Gibbs says the department was sorry for Jones’ inconvenience but committed to ensuring wanted criminals don’t accidentally go free.

Officer, that’s not me! Mistaken ID jails pastor SHREVEPORT, La. (AP) – A series of unfortunate coincidences led to a case of mistaken identity that put a Louisiana minister behind bars for nearly eight hours.

Gregory Jones, pastor at Eden Worship Center, was pulled over for speeding and arrested as a man wanted

miles has had a Thomas Built bus roll over it,” said David King, a former deputy secretary with the N.C. Department of Transportation, who noted the company’s vast national and international market share. “At a time when the American economy needs to be generating more exports, Thomas Built Buses has been doing that for decades.”

Former Lt. Gov. Bob Jordan inducted former four-star U.S. Army Gen. Maxwell Thurman, a High Point native who developed the Army’s “Be All You Can Be” recruiting campaign in 1979. He also helped plan and execute the 1989 invasion of Panama to remove military dictator Manuel Noriega from power.

“He spent 38 years in the Army and was probably one of the best-known generals of his era,” said Jordan, who met Thurman when the two were students at N.C. State University. “He was brilliant, decisive, loyal. He was a true patriot.”

The last person recognized was Harry Williamson, a High Point track star who competed in the 1936 Olympics in Berlin and was the first-ever Olympian from North Carolina. He was inducted by Heather Richardson, a fellow High Pointer who competed in this year’s Winter Olympics in speedskating.

“He set the bar high for the rest of the athletes from High Point,” Richardson said.

HIGH POINT – When High Point attorney Louis Joseph Fisher got wind of plans for the U.S. to boycott the 1980 Olympics in Moscow, it didn’t sit well with him, one of his former colleagues recalled Monday.

“Louis could be a feisty fellow,” said Ken McAllister, a local lawyer who practiced with Fisher and his son, Nick, from 1974 to 1981. “He reminded President Carter that the origins of the Olympics were based on countries putting aside their political differences and letting amateur athletes showcase their talents.”

McAllister inducted Fisher – a former U.S. Olympic Committee member who championed the Amateur Athletic Union – into High Point Heroes.

The project’s primary champion, Aaron Clinard, inducted J.E. Gibson, who started a paddleball manufacturer in 1931 that grew into the Fli-Back Company Inc., a major toy maker during the 1940s and 1950s.

Clinard said local attorney Frank Wyatt considered Gibson “the best salesman ever to come out of High Point” after he managed to convince New York retail giants R.H. Macy & Co. and S.H. Kress & Co. to carry his product.

Another High Pointer recognized for being a business innovator was Perley A. Thomas, the founder of Thomas Car Works, which evolved into Thomas Built Buses in 1936. The company became the world’s largest school bus maker.

Let’s all review, abide by, school bus safety rules School bus safety? Let’s review the laws on when you approach a red-lights-flashing, stop-signout big yellow school bus. You must stop if you’re behind one of these things. If you’re meeting one head on, you must stop, unless you’re on a road that has a grass median in between you and the bus, or a double-yellow-lined turning lane. (Please clarify this for me if I am wrong.)

Last Thursday, I was just crossing Hoskins Street on Kivett Drive and all these cars were stopped. I didn’t see the big yellow thing until I saw little 5- and 6-year-old kids running across all the lanes of traffic toward the railroad tracks. Luckily everyone was stopped in BOTH directions!

Surely they teach these children school bus safety in school.

But if there was no car stopped on that outside lane, then a car coming up wouldn’t have seen those children running across the road!

I think an ad on TV should be running on these laws, and why didn’t the bus driver tell the kids not to cross the road. It happened so fast, yes, but luckily no one got injured.

Where is John Coltrane

Obama isn’t working

on the ‘Heroes’ list?

for the American people

How in the world someone comes up with a list of High Point “Heroes” and not only doesn’t have John Coltrane at the top of the list, but leaves him off altogether, is just bizarre.

Clearly, some of the deserving people on the initial list are not popularly known, but people who made an important contribution to the development of High Point.

For others, like Luke Appling – it’s a great accomplishment to make baseball’s Hall of Fame – it would take a baseball trivia expert and a long list before his name would come up among baseball immortals.

Whereas, anyone who knows anything at all about American jazz knows John Coltrane. In fact, Coltrane is probably the only genuinely famous person that has a High Point connection (at least as Fantasia’s 15 minutes are up).

JOHN ADERHOLDT High Point

I think people are beginning to see through Obama.

When things don’t make common sense, they aren’t true.

Muslim activity will grow here fast and that to me is what Obama wants. He’s not for the American people as they have seen.

Suddenly $600 million for border control.

Where do you think the money comes from? Taxpayers, of course.

When did keeping illegals from America become unconstitutional? That’s so stupid my mind can’t even comprehend it.

Ask yourself why can’t Franklin Graham speak at the White House because it would offend the Muslims, yet Obama embraces Muslims to build a mosque to rub it in over our dead at the Trade Center.

e’re often reminded from a variety of sources of the U.S. Constitution’s First Amendment guarantee of freedom of religion. In fact, it’s the first reference in the Bill of Rights: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.”

And although it seems to occur only rarely, we often should be reminded that also embodied in that First Amendment is the right to practice your religion without fear of harassment, persecution or even worse, deadly violence.

That’s why when a situation arises like the one here in which a couple of local Muslim congregations have outgrown their mosques and seek to build a larger facility, their request should be treated by public officials and the public in general as would a request from any other religious organization – be it Protestant, Catholic, Jewish.

Fortunately, High Point Planning and Zoning Commission officials seem to be doing that. The P&Z Commission unanimously has recommended to City Council approval of rezoning requests from owners of property off Allen Jay Road on which a mosque and Islamic center would be constructed. The new facility would house the relocated Islamic Center of High Point on W. Market Center Drive and worshipers from another mosque on Lexington Avenue.

Some residents in the area of the proposed Islamic center have complained that allowing the center would add to traffic congestion on an already highly used road, concerns that almost any rezoning request can spark. However, opposition also has come from some who say they disagree with the beliefs of the Islamic faith. Certainly, those opponents of the rezoning request have the right to hold whatever religious beliefs they wish, but differing religious beliefs do not constitute grounds for rejecting the rezoning request. City Council should follow the P&Z Commission’s advice.

It’s perhaps bad timing that this local request has come as a national debate wages over plans in New York City to construct a mosque near the ground zero site of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. But this local request is nothing like that one, just as the local Muslim congregations are nothing like those terrorists who committed terrible acts on 9/11.

Often, we read comments (sometimes here on these pages in Your View) as to whether America was founded as a “Christian nation.” Instead of arguing about that, what we need to remember is that America was founded by people who were seeking the freedom to exercise their own religion. That is an ideal to which, as Americans, we all should be committed – in High Point and everywhere.

Why shouldn’t we believe them about airplane flights?

I

believe Raleigh attorney John Wallace and other representatives of Beverly Perdue’s political team when they say there was no intent to mislead voters or evade state law by failing to report dozens of free flights Perdue took during her 2004 and 2008 campaigns.

The Democratic majority on North Carolina’s state board of elections also believe Perdue’s team, which is why the board chose to impose a $30,000 fine for late campaign reporting and end its probe – rather than holding hearings, putting Perdue’s aides under oath, and investigating whether costlier punishments were warranted for intentional evasion of campaign laws.

I believe Wallace’s explanation that the reason the Perdue team had failed to report the 42 flights was because the campaign kept sloppy records. I believe this explanation despite the fact that, as the initial inquiry by board of elections staff revealed, the Perdue campaign kept meticulous records of her travels.

I believe Wallace’s claim that there was a pervasive lack of communication among Perdue aides about the issue of flight reimbursement. I believe this claim despite copious evidence that Perdue aides had extensive internal communication about the issue of flight reimbursement.

I believe Wallace’s assertion that at the time, in the fall of 2008, the campaign did not know Buzzy Stubbs, a New Bern attorney, had paid for $28,000 worth of flights.

I believe Wallace even though he was legal counsel to the Perdue campaign at the time and clearly had personal knowledge of Stubbs’ unpaid bill, which amounted to a very large and illegal contribution.

On Oct. 23, 2008, Stubbs sent a letter to

the Perdue campaign explaining that he personally had reimbursed his law firm $28,000 for flights on aircraft the firm chartered.

He then apparently tried to make that donation an in-kind contribution to the OPINION Democratic Party, perhaps in an attempt to avoid putJohn ting the Perdue campaign Hood in legal jeopardy.

■■■ Wallace responded to the letter the next day. Acting as Democratic counsel, he informed Stubbs that the party could not accept his in-kind contribution.

That was the end of any timely attempts to fix the problem. The flights Stubbs paid for weren’t disclosed by the Perdue campaign until the summer of 2009. For his part, Wallace later said that the Perdue campaign didn’t reimburse Stubbs for the flights in 2008 because it didn’t know he had paid for them.

I believe Wallace. Why shouldn’t I? As for the chairman and executive director of the board of elections, Larry Leake and Gary Bartlett respectively, I believe them when they say the decision not to launch a broader investigation, putting Perdue aides under oath to determine whether there was a conspiracy to mislead voters during the 2008 campaign, was based solely on their assumption that there was no such conspiracy, not on their desire to protect a sitting governor from further political damage.

I believe the matter is now settled.

Thank goodness, because I need to hurry home and put a tooth under my pillow for the Tooth Fairy.

Iran eyes 2020 for nuke reactor

Bombings rock south Afghanistan, kill 7 troops KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) – Roadside bombs killed seven American troopers on Monday – including five in a single blast in Kandahar – raising to more than a dozen the number who have died in the Karzai last three days.

The spike in deaths comes as President Hamid Karzai has publicly raised doubts about the U.S. strategy in the war, saying success cannot be achieved until more Afghans are in the front lines and insurgent sanctuaries in Pakistan are shut down.

NATO gave no details of the Monday blasts except that they occurred in the south, the main theater of the conflict, and that five were killed in a single blast.

Witnesses said the five died when a bomb struck a Humvee on a main road on the outskirts of Kandahar, the focus of an ongoing military campaign to secure the city that the Taliban used as their headquarters during their years in power. The attackers apparently targeted the Humvee because it was not as heavily armored.

Nuclear fusion, the process powering the sun and stars, has so far only been mastered as a weapon, producing the thermonuclear explosions of hydrogen bombs. It has never been harnessed for power generation.

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) – Iran says it has set a 2020 target date to build its first experimental nuclear fusion reactor, a feat that has yet to be achieved by any nation.

Iran said in July that its nuclear agency began research on the

The eruption of Mount Sinabung put the region on the highest alert level, and some domestic flights had to be diverted because of poor visibility.

Aid for sale in Pakistan as refugees want cash PESHAWAR, Pakistan – Needing cash not food, refugees in Pakistan’s flood-ravaged northwest do not have to look far for buyers for their rations. Outside an aid warehouse, middlemen buy U.S.-branded oil, flour and biscuits and supply shops across the city.

The trade is not illegal, but appears to strengthen arguments by aid groups who say that giving money to those recovering from disasters or war is often cheaper, more effective and efficient than doling out food or other assistance like housing materials, seeds or agricultural tools.

Iran state media call French first lady prostitute TEHRAN, Iran – Iranian state media called France’s first lady, Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, a “prostitute� on Monday in an unusual attack on the wife of a world leader that shows deep anger over her support for an Iranian woman who faced death by stoning on an adultery conviction.

The wife of French President Nicolas Sarkozy has condemned the stoning sentence against Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani, which Iran temporarily suspended but did not throw out after an international outcry.

Gunman kills 7, wounds 15 in Slovakia BRATISLAVA, Slovakia – A gunman went on a rampage in Slovakia’s capital on Monday, killing seven people and wounding 15, then committed suicide, officials said.

Five of the people killed were members of a Roma family who lived in an apartment where the man began his attack with a machine gun and two pistols, said Interior Minister Daniel Lipsic. Roma, also known as Gypsies, often face discrimination in eastern Europe.

Egyptian minister questioned in van Gogh theft CAIRO – Egyptian prosecutors questioned the culture minister for three hours over the theft of a Vincent van Gogh painting that has put him on the defensive over the state of museum security around the country.

Farouk Hosni said he sought in Sunday night’s session to dispel accusations he failed to respond adequately to calls for increased security at Egyptian museums, including the one from where the van Gogh was stolen.

Bad weather delays final plugging of well GULF OF MEXICO – High seas on the Gulf of Mexico forced BP PLC on Monday to delay operations for up to three days to raise the piece of equipment from the seabed that failed to prevent the massive oil spill, the U.S. government said.

Retired Coast Adm. Thad Allen, the government’s point man on the spill response, told reporters in a conference call that waves were six to eight feet tall and crews were worried about the potential risk of suspending hulking pieces of equipment from a crane underwater while the waves were rocking.

He said it could be as late as Thursday before engineers begin to remove the temporary cap.

Sanctions against North Korea expand WASHINGTON – The Obama administration on Monday widened the scope of U.S. financial penalties against North Korea, escalating pressure on the Pyongyang regime to give up its nuclear weapons.

The Treasury Department announced it is freezing the assets of several individuals, companies and organizations allegedly linked to Pyongyang’s nuclear program or to management of a vast network of illicit economic activities such as narcotics trafficking and money laundering.

Obama won’t say ‘mission accomplished’ in speech WASHINGTON (AP) – The White House says there are two words President Barack Obama will not tonight in his speech about the end of the U.S. combat role in Iraq: “Mission accomplished.”

Seven years ago, President George W. Bush stood on an aircraft carrier to declare an end to major combat operations in Iraq. A banner proclaim-

ing “Mission Accomplished” flew nearby. The Bush White House came to deeply regret that sign as the war dragged on and U.S. deaths Obama mounted.

Contamination found at 2 egg farms WASHINGTON (AP) – Food and Drug Administration investigators have found rodents, seeping manure and even maggots at the Iowa egg farms believed to be responsible for as many as 1,500 cases of salmonella poisoning.

FDA officials released their initial observations of the investigations at Wright County Egg and Hillandale Farms on Monday. The two farms recalled more than half a billion eggs after salmonella illnesses were linked to their products earlier this month.

‘You won’t hear those words coming from us.’

Robert Gibbs Obama spokesman said. Instead, Gibbs said that Obama will talk about what is involved in the U.S. troop

drawdown and the changing mission in Iraq.

However, Obama does plan to call Bush today before delivering his Oval Office address, Gibbs said, though he wouldn’t say what Obama’s message to his predecessor would be.

Obama also called Bush last year before delivering a speech laying out the Iraq withdrawal timeline.

Mike and Kathy Liner first opened the Pioneer Family Restaurant and Steakhouse along with Walter and Ruby Hill in July of 1987.

They opened their doors with the philosophy of providing customers with the highest quality products, largest portions at the most affordable prices that would allow them to stay in business. This motto was working well as customers far and near flocked to the Pioneer for both lunch and dinner. Just as things were going great, the two lane Main Street underwent major construction to create the now five lane highway. During this time, cars could barely access the Pioneer parking lot and business began to slow. This was the period Mike and Kathy attribute to the development of perservance, personality and success that have made he Pioneer a cornerstone of the community. In order to keep their doors open during the massive road construction, Mike and Kathy decided to offer the “Road Construction Special.”

A deal that was so good, even the most timid of drivers braved the construction to get through the doors. The Pioneer was sold in July of 1997 and purchased back on August 31, 2009. They would like to celebrate their anniversary by ging back to the 1980’s and 90’s where they got their start by offering some of those same great prices and deals including “The Road Constuction Special!”

Can-do attitude United Way to kick off annual campaign with food drive

BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – The United Way of Greater High Point will begin its annual fundraising efforts this year with a “can-paign” kickoff.

That’s right. Can-paign.

The organization, which services nonprofits in High Point, Archdale, Trinity and Jamestown, will launch its 2010-11 campaign on Sept. 13 by holding a daylong canned food drive in light of the struggles that local food pantries have faced this year.

The 2010-11 fundraising goal also will be unveiled at 5:30 p.m. at the United Way’s office at 201 Church Ave. The fact that the kickoff is an all-day event sets it apart from past campaigns, Smith said, but it enforces the idea of giving back to the community.

a time to practice community service,” he said.

“It’s a good way to combine a project and a kickoff event.”

The United Way, which is celebrating its 75th anniversary, has seen a growing demand in basic services such as food assistance. Local food pantries report they’ve been hit particularly hard.

“What I’m hearing is that our local pantries have been running out

of supplies,” said United Way president Bobby Smith. “They’re swamped with individuals who need assistance.”

The items collected during the drive will be distributed to more than a dozen local food pantries, including pantries operated by Open Door Ministries, the Salvation Army, Helping Hands of High Point and Ward Street Mission.

director of the Community Outreach of Archdale-Trinity, reported earlier this summer that the nonprofit’s food pantry shelves were 70 percent empty. Taking the issue to the public and to the United Way helped to solve that problem for the time being, but the demand for basic foodstuffs is still growing under current economic conditions, Walker said.

“We wouldn’t have been able to keep going had it not been for the support of the community,” she said.

“But economic conditions are not normal. We’ve had no stabilization. I know food pantries everywhere are grateful for opportunities like this from the United Way.” Donations also can be dropped off at the United Way office. phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

GUILFORD COUNTY – The influenza vaccine season starts in earnest this week as grocery and pharmacy chains open shot clinics.

The good news is that you’ll need only one shot this year.

Seasonal flu shots will be available at all Harris Teeter stores beginning Wednesday at posted hours. Walgreen and Rite Aid stores began offering shots in many locations last week.

Mollen Immunization Clinics will offer flu shots in Harris Teeter stores for at least two four-hour periods beginning Wednesday. Maxim Health Care, which operates vaccine clinics for scores of groceries and pharmacies, will start providing vaccine clinic information on Wednesday, according to the company’s website.

The N.C. Division of Public Health recommends anyone over 6 months old get the injection to fight several flu strains. There should be enough vaccine doses for all who want them this year because manufacturers produced the largest number of shots ever.

“The message is simple now,” Dr. David Weber, professor of medicine, pediatrics and epidemiology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, said earlier this month. “If you’re more than 6 months of age, get the vaccine.”

Adults need only one dose, but children age 6 months to age 8 may need two doses, depending on which vaccines they received last year, Weber said.

Meanwhile, the Guilford County Department of Public Health has yet to announce vaccine clinics.

Harris Teeter customers and most others will pay $25 for each shot. The vaccines are free for Medicare Part B non-HMO recipient patients. The pneumonia vaccine also is available for $60.

Mollen requires that customers must be a minimum of 4 years old to receive the flu shot and must be over 65 or have certain health conditions to receive the pneumonia vaccine. dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

HIGH POINT – By day, Derrick Duggins is Johnston County emergency management coordinator.

By night, his avatar goes to work at Central Products, a maker of polyethylene pipe fittings.

As part of his work for a master’s degree in business administration at John Wesley College, the Lexington native is participating in a realworld business simulation as an executive intern avatar.

“I find I do much of my work at 2 a.m. online,” Duggins told a group of educators and business leaders gathered Monday at the college to view the avatar program. “I’m busy with my work and family, and this is a perfect fit.”

The Web-based MBA program is designed to appeal to busy executives, managers, supervisors and other professionals who want to continue their education while working full time. The internship is modeled after executive internships at IBM, Proctor & Gamble and other leading companies. Avatar programs increase learning speeds up to 200 percent and students re-

MBA PROGRAM

–

Costs: Tuition per credit hour is $265, totaling about $15,000 including fees, materials and tuition.

Time: Because there are no summer or holiday breaks, John Wesley College MBA students graduate in about half the time and at about half the expense of other MBA degrees.

JWC is the first Bible college in North Carolina to offer a state-licensed MBA degree earned completely online. The program is fully accredited.

Courses: Students complete eight core courses, then choose one of three concentrations: Management, Human Resources, or Non-Profit Leadership. Graduate-level coursework includes management, leadership, marketing, communications, problem-solving, decision making, economics and organizational behavior. call 40 percent more than traditional education, said Owen Allen, executive vice president and dean of the JWC School of Management.

“This is part of the new John Wesley College,” said JWC President Larry McCullough, “and is a part of how we are preparing the next generation of professional societal and spiritual leaders.”

The interactions are so realistic that student avatars must deal with the personalities of the company avatars in the fictional production, management and human resources departments, Duggins said.

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

“We talk about how employees fit in with the expectations of the company that has put the money on the table. We also learn the ethics we need to be company leaders,” Duggins said.

Class assignments are worked through the program as professors watch and read the program scripts and responses online. Some tests are taken online.

“The quiz may come when you visit Mr. White’s office at Central Products,” Duggins said. dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

Troopers: Yield violation led to deadly wreck MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

A yield violation was the likely cause of a Saturday night two-car collision in Carteret County that killed two teens and injured six others, according to the Highway Patrol.

Miles Moorman, 18, of Bahama, was driving a 1999 Honda passenger car south on Harkers Island Road about 10 miles east of Beau-

fort when he attempted to make a left turn at the “Y” intersection at Straits Road.

His vehicle was struck at the intersection by a 1998 Chevrolet SUV by Christopher Yeomans of Beaufort.

The likely cause of the collision was Moorman failing to yield to oncoming traffic, the Highway Patrol said.

Dear Lisa: Agreed! It’s always nice to receive a letter from you. You have long been a valued resource to me and my readers. Read on: Dear Abby: I work in a funeral home and would suggest a couple of options to Pam regarding her husband. Some funeral homes have more than one viewing room. They could display his mother in one and have the receiving line in another. That way, he wouldn’t have to see his mother in a casket. The

Dear Abby: Sadly, both of my parents passed away within two years of each other.

Instead of a funeral we held a Celebration of Life Memorial Service.

(They both wanted to be cremated, so we did not have to deal with a coffin.) Abby, the celebration was beautiful for both. We created slide shows and poster boards of their lives, told funny stories about them, and had people get up randomly if they had their own stories to share. Yes, it was sad because we miss our parents dearly ... but it has also been much easier dealing with our loss when remembering their service as a celebration of their lives. – Missing Mom And Dad, Eugene, Ore. Dear Abby: I have made it clear to all of my family members that

I will not attend their funerals if they go before I do. I stopped attending funerals the minute I was allowed to decide for myself around the age of 16 (I am now 40). Whenever I go to a funeral, the prevailing memory for me is the one of the person lying in the coffin. I no longer remember him or her as alive.

For the most part, my family has been very understanding and allowed me to grieve in my own way.

Pam should let her husband keep his memories of his mother in life and support him. Rather than worrying about him being there for his siblings, she needs to be concerned about being there for him. – Rosemarie in Minneapolis Dear Abby: A funeral is for the living – not the deceased. I lost my husband after a long illness a few years ago. His last wishes were to have no funeral so our children and I would not have to go through that. Instead, we celebrated his life with family and close friends – including pictures and stories that we turned into a memorial biography of his life. As much as we miss him, this has been a much better means of coping for our family. – Cheryl in Las Cruces, N.M. DEAR ABBY is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

THOMASVILLE – A standoff involving Thomasville police ended peacefully Sunday after a man hiding in an apartment attic fell through the ceiling.

Officers responded to a reported domestic assault at 212 Arthur Drive, Apartment 2-A, and when police arrived on the scene, the suspect, Andrew Joseph Gordon, 35, barricaded himself inside the residence and was reported to be in possession of a small-caliber handgun, according to police.

A perimeter was set up, and the adjoining apartments were evacuated.

Officers made telephone contact and initiated negotiations with Gordon. The Thomasville Police Department’s Special Weapons and Tactics Team was called to assist with the situation.

At some point, Gordon gained entry into the apartment attic crawl space, and he fell through the ceiling just past the adjoining apartment.

He was then taken into custody without further incident.

Gordon was charged with domestic assault on a female, resisting, delay-

ing and obstructing a law enforcement officer and damage to real property, police said.

In addition, he was served with five outstanding warrants for communicating threats, making threatening telephone calls, domestic assault and breaking and entering, police said.

He was booked into the Davidson County Jail under no bond pending a court appearance this week.

ear Abby: Your advice to “Pam in Springfield, Ohio�

(July 14), whose husband didn’t want to go to his mother’s funeral, was right on.

A memorial service can be a very different experience than a funeral with the casket present. One of the classiest ones I ever attended was at an art museum, with a jazz trio and a display of the deceased’s artwork all around. After listening to some wonderfully funny stories about the nifty lady we were there to honor, there was wine and finger food and cordial sharing of fond memories.

My advice to any family is to start talking about funerals now, before the big event, sharing what you like and what you don’t about funerals. There is never only one way to do it. – Lisa Carlson, Executive Director, Funeral Ethics Organization

Mighty dust mites might stir up troubles

D

ear Dr. Donohue: What’s all this about dust mites?

Do they carry disease?

How do we kill them? A baseball bat? – R.H.

BLONDIE

Dear Dr. Donohue: About dust mites – I am getting nowhere with them because they are practically invisible.

They crawl in and out of my mouth and on my face when I am in bed.

I have suffered too long with them. – P.B. Dear Dr. Donohue: Will you please write about dust mites? – C.M.

B.C.

Dust mites are hardly visible; they’re smaller than the period at the end of this sentence.

They don’t transmit diseases, but they can create trouble for those who are allergic to them or their waste material.

The mite skeleton and waste products can provoke asthma, skin itching, eye itching, sneezing and dripping nose.

Most people, however, live in blissful ignorance of the mites. They have no symptoms.

Dust mites don’t bite.

They feed on dead skin cells, mostly cells that have fallen off the body.

They don’t enter the mouth. You really can’t tell they’re around. They like living in bedrooms – in mattresses and bedding, including blankets – upholstered furniture and carpets. They can take up life in stuffed animals. Allow only

washable stuffed toys into a bedroom.

They prefer a warm, humid enviHEALTH ronment, a preference Dr. Paul that can Donohue be used to ■■■ evict them.

Keep the bedroom cool and dry with a dehumidifier, an air conditioner or both.

The humidity should be less than 50 percent.

Mites dehydrate at that humidity. Wash all bedding weekly. Vacuum mattresses and pillows.

Encase them in coverings specially made from cotton, polyester or plastic.

Mites don’t disappear overnight. The battle against them has to go on for months and months. A victory isn’t total elimination, but a reduction in their population.

If after all these measures a person still suffers allergic symptoms, visit an allergist for desensitization therapy.

Dear Dr. Donohue: My ear canals itch. What can I do to relieve this?

– K.C. Make sure that hair sprays, shampoos and harsh soaps aren’t getting into your ear canals and irritating them.

Eczema, psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis (a dandruff variant) make

ear canals itchy. Seborrheic dermatitis is a common troublemaker.

Infections from bacteria or fungi are another cause of itchiness.

On your own, you are limited by trying to diagnose conditions that are hard to diagnose. A doctor inspecting your ears can make life much easier for you.

Dear Dr. Donohue: I’m having my first child at the age of 35. Will you comment on the risks involved at this age? I am healthy and exercise and I’m at a good weight.

– B.T. I’ll start by quoting a respected gynecologist: “The decade between 25 and 35 is the ideal time to have a child.”

Infertility increases with age. You are not suffering from that.

Ectopic pregnancies, pregnancies that result in fetal development outside the uterus, as in the ovarian tubes, increase with age. Miscarriages are more common at older ages. The possibility of chromosomal abnormalities also increases with aging. However, 35 is not old age. Women older than 45 usually have good outcomes from their pregnancies.

If you’re worried that age 35 presents a problem during the delivery of a child, it doesn’t.

Furthermore, you are in excellent shape, so you ought not to have any trouble at all.

A cheery 5-0

for Camp Cheerio A vision of High Pointers, summer getaway celebrates long-running success

BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

T

he campers at Camp Cheerio may have a great view, but the High Point men and women responsible for the camp half a century ago had a great vision.

Since Camp Cheerio opened in 1960 in the Roaring Gap region of Alleghany County – as a summer camp affiliated with the YMCA of Greater High Point – untold thousands of happy campers have spent many a carefree day there, learning about the great outdoors, the great value of friendship and the greatness of their God. “Those people had a great vision back in ’58 (when the first acreage for the camp was purchased by the local Y’s Men Club),” says Ron Austin, president and chief executive officer of the YMCA of Greater High Point.

“I don’t know that they totally comprehended the ball they started rolling at the time, but it has turned into one of the most wonderful experiences anywhere that a child can have. From its very beginning, Camp Cheerio was about providing a Christian camping experience and developing strong children.”

The camp’s 50th anniversary will be celebrated this weekend, when former campers and staff members are being invited back to the camp. At a special lunch Saturday, six individuals will be honored for their service to the camp with the inaugural “Pillars of Service” awards. Honorees include Helen Cooke, Purcell Kimsey, Bill Sloan, James Miles, Bob Allen and the late Max Cooke.

According to Austin, Max Cooke – who was then the executive director of the local YMCA – gets the credit for initiating plans for Camp Cheerio and selling other community leaders on the idea.

“Max knew the wonderful things that can happen to kids when they’re at a camp for a

The 50th anniversary of Camp Cheerio will be celebrated this weekend.

Former campers and staff members are invited to a lunch at noon Saturday at the camp, which is located in Alleghany County.

Following lunch, six individuals will be honored for their service to the camp with the inaugural “Pillars of Service” awards. Honorees include Helen Cooke, Purcell Kimsey, Bill Sloan, James Miles, Bob Allen and the late Max Cooke.

The lunch is free, but reservations are required by Thursday.

To RSVP, contact Shane Brown at (336) 869-0195 or shane@ campcheerio.org.

For those who would like to spend the day at Camp Cheerio, enjoying activities and staying for dinner, the cost is $20.

For more information about the camp, visit www.camp cheerio.org. week at a time,” says Austin, who served as director of Camp Cheerio from 1974 to 1996. “He convinced people here that a resident camp would enhance programs for children in High Point.”

Austin cites men such as Jim Millis, Bob Amos Jr., Jack Hawks Sr., Bob Allen, Dick Meisky, Holt McPherson and Herman Smith as leaders in the efforts to get the camp off the ground. Local architect Bill Sloan, now retired, did most of the planning and drawing as a gift to the YMCA. Camp Cheerio opened in the summer of 1960. The camp gets its name from Edgar Hartley, who was general secretary of the High Point YMCA for more than 30 years; a native of England, Hartley frequently used the expression “cheerio” when

High Pointer donated $250,000 for an outdoor chapel at Camp Cheerio. bidding friends farewell.

Located on a mountaintop with an elevation of approximately 3,500 feet, Camp Cheerio is more than just a summer camp for kids. It’s open from mid-March until mid-November and offers weeklong camps for senior adults, educational camps for school groups, and occasional skill camps such as calligraphy camp or quilting camp.

Camp Cheerio is still bestknown as a summer camp, though, and those who have participated marvel about their experience.

“Camp Cheerio is a significant part of the foundation of my life,” says local businessman George Holbrook, a former camper and camp counselor who now serves as chairman of Camp Cheerio’s board of managers.

“Seeing the fun-loving smiles on our campers’ faces says it all.

Undeniably the best staff available, working on a magnificent slice of God’s country.”

Shane Brown, the camp’s assistant director, is another former camper and counselor who raves about his experience.

“I think what I really enjoyed about it was the feeling of family

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

I got from the people there,” he says. “The activities are a lot of fun, but the people are what make it special.”

Another former camper, Michaux Crocker, is now the camp’s director.

Earlier this year, construction was completed on a new outdoor chapel at the camp. The funds for the 400-seat, $250,000 chapel were donated anonymously by another former camper from High Point – an indication, Austin points out, of how strongly people feel about Camp Cheerio. And that, he says, is because campers come away with experiences that will benefit them for a lifetime.

“Independence is the first thing they get,” he says. “Another thing they get is they learn how to build relationships in new groups. Max (Cooke) wanted them to have a closer walk with God – to develop a spirituality – so we do morning devotions and vespers, which gives each child a chance to learn more about God and His creation. And the other big thing is, they learn how to develop friendships that will last forever.” jtomlin@hpe.com | 888-3579

Seasonal flu shots will be available at all Harris Teeter stores beginning Wednesday.

Providing convenient flu shot clinics allows Harris Teeter to protect its customers from one of winter’s nastiest illnesses.

Harris Teeter will be working in cooperation with Mollen Immunization Clinics to offer flu shots in all 199 stores for at least two four-hour periods. Flu shots will be available to all Harris Teeter customers for $25 each with their VIC card, or at no charge if they are a Medicare Part B, non-HMO recipient (just present your card before receiving your shot).

New this year is the option for the clinic nurse to bill insurances directly, just ask if your provider is included. The pneumococcal vaccine is also available for $60.

Shoppers should note that they must be a minimum of 4 years old to receive the flu shot and over the age of 65 or have certain health conditions to receive the pneumonia vaccine.

Registered nurses from Mollen will administer the shots in a temporary clinic set up inside the stores. Clinic information will be posted at the entrance to all stores and at harristeeter.com.

12TH TRICK But when South led a heart to his ace, West ruffed and led a diamond.

South had to try the finesse for his 12th trick, and down he went.

West’s defense was inspired. Say West plays low on the second trump.

Dummy’s queen wins, but South can’t gain by ruffing a heart with the ace. He will draw trumps, ruff a club and go after the diamonds. If he finesses with the ten at some point or catches West in

BRIDGE

Good defense is often 10 percent inspiration, 15 percent perspiration and 75 percent desperation.

Today’s West broke out in a sweat when he saw dummy’s A-Q-10 of trumps: West’s king was trapped. South took the ace of clubs, let the jack of trumps ride and led another trump; and in desperation, West played the king (the card South knew he held).

South took the ace and thought he saw a safe route to 12 tricks. South could take the ace of hearts, ruff a heart, ruff a club and draw trumps. He would win five trumps, three hearts, a heart ruff, a diamond and two clubs.

ANSWER: South’s bid was correct. With two five-card suits, open in the higher-ranking. True, the hearts are stronger, but suit quality matters only in extreme cases.

With 6 5 4 3 2, A K Q J 10, 6 2, A you could justify treating the spades as a four-card suit and the hearts as a six-carder.

Tuesday, August 31, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Sara Ramirez, 35; Zack Ward, 40; Jonathan LaPaglia, 41; Richard Gere, 61 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: You have the potential to do great things this year. Your past passions should be resurrected and put into play. Now is the perfect time to test your skills and show everyone what you are truly capable of accomplishing.

Don’t overlook the small details because you are looking at the big picture. You numbers are 2, 7, 13, 20, 23, 38, 41 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Put a little magic back into your current relationship or, if single, get out and meet someone new. Partnerships will offer creative input that will help you formulate what you can do in the future, personally and professionally. ★★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Let your personality shine through in every encounter you have with peers, associates or friends. Your knowledge and ability to adapt will make people gravitate to you. A trip or social event will bring you in touch with a big talker. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You’ll be hard to understand, fluctuating back and forth about the way you feel and what you want to do. The less said, the easier it will be to figure out which path to take. Interacting with others will only confuse you more. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t waste your time arguing with someone who isn’t likely to see things your way. Use your time wisely. Love will be like walking a tightrope – no matter what you do, you will be blamed for the way things turn out. ★★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t let your emotions decide what’s right for you. Do your homework so you know exactly where you stand and with whom you are dealing. Love is in the stars and a passionate encounter looks promising. ★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t take on a responsibility that is likely to stifle your pleasurable plans. You can stop someone from taking advantage of you by removing yourself from the situation. Find a solution that gives you freedom as well. ★★★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Trust in someone who understands your situation and can clearly see what you are going through. The advice you receive will help you avoid depression and a lack of stability. ★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Problems at home must be assessed before you make a decision.

You’ll be torn between two people who mean a lot to you. A child or elder may be the determining factor when making a difficult choice. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Join a club or group that allows you to put your skills to good use for a worthy cause. The more action taken, the more of an impact you will make on others and with regard to your reputation. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Sudden, unexpected disruptions will send you into a tailspin.

What you do to secure your money through an investment or by taking care of your own needs will turn out to be in your best interest. ★★★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): There is money to be made if you take on a challenge that will bring the kinds of residuals you need to follow through with one of your goals. Change is needed and by joining forces with someone who shares your interest, you can build a future that will benefit both of you. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Your attraction toward someone may be strong but, unless there is honesty, openness and no sign of emotional blackmail, you should probably take a pass. A project you can work on with someone equally as talented will bring both of you recognition. ★★★★ 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.

HPU kicks into high gear D

ustin Fonder enters his fourth season leading High Point University with players who, by this point, are almost exclusively his recruits.

Together, they’ve taken the men’s soccer program to new heights, with an eye toward even loftier goals this fall and beyond.

“The thing that is most pleasing to me about this group is it’s got a good chemistry,” Fonder said. “The culture is starting to be where it needs to be to compete at a high level. It’s been a gradual build. Two years ago we saw this program turn the corner, last year we almost won the conference. This year we want to take that next step and become a program that, SPORTS year in and year out, competes for titles.”

Steve The march to the postseaHanf son begins Wednesday night ■■■ at Vert Stadium against Elon – the squad Fonder spent four years with as an assistant prior to arriving at HPU. The action then heats up Sept. 25 for the Big South Conference opener against Gardner-Webb, with the Panthers looking to be key players in the conference tournament from Nov. 11-14 – right in the cozy confines of Vert Stadium.

Last year’s record of 9-7-2 overall was the best in High Point’s 11-year Division I history, and the 5-1-2 league mark – good for second place – was its best showing ever in the Big South. Given last year’s success and the return of four players from the 2009 allconference squad, the Panthers were picked in the preseason poll to win the league.

“It’s flattering to be picked where we are,” Fonder said. “It proves our peers recognize the hard work that has been put in by our staff and players, but realistically, until we play the games it doesn’t mean much.”

The league’s coaches also recognized the talent of junior forward Karo Okiomah in selecting him the preseason player of the year. The player who Fonder called “the best athlete in the region” tied for the team lead at 14 points last year – five goals, four assists – with Shawn Sloan and Matt Tuttle. Sloan, just a sophomore, returns in the midfield.

Excitement should abound on the offensive end with that dynamic duo along with senior forward Scott Rojo, sophomore forward Fejiro Okiomah and freshman midfielder Alex Martinez.

Fonder called Rojo “the crowd favorite, our most entertaining player.” He enjoyed a standout summer with the Carolina Dynamo in the Premier Development League and earned national honors for his play. Fejiro

PHOTO COURTESY OF HIGH POINT UNIVERSITY SPORTS INFORMATION DEPARTMENT

Freshman midfielder Alex Martinez (front) and his High Point University teammates look to put their best foot forward this season. The campaign starts Wednesday at 7 at Vert Stadium against visiting Elon.

Okiomah landed All-Big South freshman honors and made the regular all-conference team as well after tallying 11 points in his debut season.

Martinez, the first Parade All-American in HPU soccer history, recently was named to the College Soccer News’ 100 Freshmen to Watch list.

“Scoring goals I don’t think will be a problem,” Fonder said. “We have to base everything around team defending.”

Junior keeper Michael Chesler anchors a unit that notched five shutouts last fall. Todd Ray and Patrick Donahue also were all-freshman team picks a year ago, with Ray leading the center of the defensive alignment and Donahue playing at center-mid. Incoming freshmen such as midfielder Jonny Bonner

and midfielder/defender Adam Sewell will be looking to make that kind of immediate impact along with Martinez.

Junior Will Stewart, one of the team captains along with Karo Okiomah and Chesler, is another standout defender who is helping HPU take these strides to newfound success.

“One of our themes this year is to really tighten up defensively,” Fonder said. “If we concede over the course of the season eight to 10 less goals, I feel we’ll be an NCAA Tournament team.”

And that would certainly be something for Fonder’s first batch of recruits to pass along to the next. shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

No. 18 UNC faces many questions CHAPEL HILL (AP) – Less than a week away from a high-profile opener, Butch Davis doesn’t sound too certain of who will take the field for North Carolina.

The 18th-ranked Tar Heels are weighed down by an NCAA investigation into agent-related benefits as well as a probe into potential academic misconduct.

So instead of enjoying the buzz that comes with starting his fourth season against No. 21 LSU in Atlanta, Davis is answering questions – or, more accurately, not answering them – about who will be eligible to play. “We’re not preparing for worst-case scenarios,” Davis said. “We’re preparing for best-case scenarios.”

The team didn’t release a depth chart Monday before Davis’ weekly news conference, a de-

parture from typical procedure. He wouldn’t say how many players could be held out, though he said he’s using a “fluid” informal Davis depth chart in practice this week.

He would, though, reiterate that three-year starter T.J. Yates would be under center against the Tigers after fending off a push from backup Bryn Renner. Yates said the defense has “a little more people in jeopardy than the offensive side of the ball does.”

“It’s definitely in the back of your mind,” Yates said. “We kind of want to know before, going into the game. We kind of just want to have it set so we know who’s going to be playing.”

The NCAA has twice visited campus looking into whether senior defensive tackle Marvin Austin – projected as a possible NFL first-round draft pick – and senior receiver Greg Little received improper benefits from agents. Both players have been working with the second team for much of training camp and haven’t spoken with reporters.

That probe expanded to academics last week, though the school has refused to specify how many players could be involved or are in jeopardy of missing the LSU game. Along the way, the NCAA has looked at a cross-country trip involving Austin and former Tar Heel Cam Thomas as well as the friendship between assistant coach John Blake and Californiabased agent Gary Wichard.

“I think we’re at an all-time high with distractions,” tight end Zack Pianalto said, “so I don’t know if you can add any more or if it makes that much difference.”

The Tigers are fully aware of those distractions, too.

“It probably benefits us best to focus on where they’re most capable and that’s what we’re going to do,” LSU coach Les Miles said.

“We want to see their best players playing against us and we’re preparing a game plan for that. ... Until I see a starting lineup or until I get affirmed information, I don’t think there’s much news.”

Davis said players who are certain to be held out before Friday will not travel to Atlanta. Athletic director Dick Baddour said the school is still investigating the academics side to the probe.

h, the memories. Who isn’t stirred by recollections of those season-opening Thursday night college football classics of yesteryear?

Hey, wait a minute. I don’t remember any Thursday night college football season-opening classics of yesteryear.

When I was a kid, we opened the college football season on a Saturday.

What were we thinking?

We won’t have that problem Thursday night, when College Football 2010 kicks off with 18 big contests.

I’m not kidding. There are 18 NCAA Divi-

sion I FBS games on the docket for Thursday night. All told, 29 games will be played Thursday night.

Among ACC teams, Wake Forest plays host to Presbyterian at 6 and No. 13 Miami entertains Florida A&M. Both games are available for TV viewing on ESPN3, whatever that is.

Counting the Hurricanes, four teams ranked in the preseason coaches poll are in action. Second-ranked Ohio State plays host to Marshall at 7:30 p.m. (amazingly, this game is not on television anywhere).

No. 15 Pittsburgh goes to Utah for an 8:30 p.m. kickoff on Versus and No. 14 Southern

Cal waves Aloha to the mainland and travels to Hawaii for an 11 p.m. kickoff on ESPN. Other televised games on Thursday night include Southern Miss at South Carolina (7:30 p.m., ESPN) and Northern Illinois at Iowa State (8 p.m., FSN).

I know it’s a different world now than 40 years ago.

I also know that’s not always a good thing.

I miss the time when college football season started on the first Saturday in September.

Ah, the memories.

WHO’S NEWS

Former Panther pitcher Jamie Serber has joined the High Point University baseball coaching staff, head coach Craig Cozart announced Monday.

Serber will be the student assistant coach for the 2011 season, after completing his eligibility last spring.

“We are excited about Jamie beginning his coaching career at High Point University as the student assistant after four quality years as a pitcher for the program,” Cozart said. “He brings a lot to the team based on the experience he had and he will be a tremendous asset to the coaching staff.”

Serber will assist Cozart with the development of the Panther pitching corps as well as helping with the daily maintenance of the program. In the spring he will be responsible for the bullpen during games.

Over the summer, Serber helped coach the Panther Baseball Club teams. He coached the U-15 team to a top-30 finish at the East Cobb Tournament in Marietta, Ga. Serber also helped with the Panther baseball camps and is currently giving individual pitching and hitting lessons.

Serber was a four-year letter winner at High Point and served at the team’s Friday-night ace for the 2010 season.

He posted a 6-3 record and a 5.42 ERA in his senior year. He totaled 50 strikeouts for the season, doubling his career number. Serber finished his HPU career with a 13-14 record and one save with 100 strikeouts in 235 innings pitched.

Hokiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; defense has to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;grow up in a hurryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Virginia Tech defensive coordinator Bud Foster is accustomed to having his unit be a big reason for the Hokiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; high expectations.

This season, that defense stands out again â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest question mark. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re as young as weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been in a while and for us, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a challenge,â&#x20AC;? said Foster, who has to replace seven starters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re used to being the reason why weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve won championships around here, and I told that to the kids on the first day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our expectations arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to change just because weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got seven new starters.â&#x20AC;?

All those new starters wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have much time to learn on the job, either.

The Hokies open against Boise State, which has 10 starters back on each side of the ball after going unbeaten and winning the Fiesta Bowl. The game Sept. 6 in Landover, Md., comes one year after Virginia Tech opened last season against eventual national champion Alabama. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to grow up in a hurry,â&#x20AC;? Foster said.

Fortunately for Fosterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s group, the Hokies offense has rarely been more loaded.

Quarterback Tyrod Taylor begins his second full season as the starter, and has played all four years. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be joined in the backfield by Ryan

PANTHERS SIGN DUCKWORTH

---

CHARLOTTE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Carolina Panthers have found an offensive lineman willing to join the team.

The Panthers signed Tim Duckworth on Monday, less than a week after he was waived

by New Orleans. The 6-foot-4, 318-pound guard gives the Panthers a maximum 80 players a day before they must trim to 75.

Carolina has had a roster opening since offensive lineman Kirk Barton failed to report last week after he was claimed off waivers from Denver. The Panthers had already waived tackle Jason Capizzi to make room.

The Panthers were without several players at practice Monday, including receiver Wallace Wright (shoulder), running back Tyrell Sutton (shoulder) and cornerbacks Richard Marshall (knee) and Captain Munnerlyn (calf).

Williams and Darren Evans. Williams last season ran for 1,655 yards and 21 touchdowns, breaking the Atlantic Coast Conference freshman yardage record that Evans set in 2008 (1,265) before missing last season with an ACL tear.

Back, too, are wide receivers Jarrett Boykin, Danny Coale and Dyrell Roberts. The trio combined for 92 catches and 10 touchdowns.

Taylor also can be electrifying when he pulls the ball down to run, but even without his scrambling, the Hokies should be able to hurt teams on the ground and through the air.

In this Nov. 21, 2009 file photo, Virginia Techâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ryan Williams outruns N.C. Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Daniel Imhoff at Lane Stadium in Blacksburg, Va. The Hokies hope to leave the rest of the ACC in their dust this season.

Williams, trimmed down to 202 pounds, showed up in far better shape than a year ago and is the speed portion of the backfield, while the 225-pound Evans is as inclined to run over a

defender as to run away from him. And he said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all the way back from his surgery.

On Fosterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense, tackle John Graves was awarded possession of the lunch pail that

represents the Hokiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; workmanlike style, and players such as linebacker Bruce Taylor, a redshirt sophomore, relish being seen as the weak link on a contending team.

ECUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s McNeill embraces challenge of first game week GREENVILLE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The smoke will billow near East Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s locker room, the pyrotechnics will sparkle and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll blast Jimi Hendrixâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Purple Hazeâ&#x20AC;? over the speakers.

Then, for the first time, Ruffin McNeill will lead the Pirates onto the field. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right now, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m getting little goose bumps,â&#x20AC;? McNeill said Monday, a full six days before gameday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fake that.â&#x20AC;?

While thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no hiding McNeillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passion for his alma mater, there are more pressing things to worry about than making a grand entrance.

Playing a Conference USA rival â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not to mention, one that might be carrying a grudge â&#x20AC;&#x201C; has a way of creating an added sense of urgency.

McNeillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first game in charge of the two-time defending league champion Pirates, and his first

game as a full-time head coach anywhere, comes Sunday when Tulsa visits in the first C-USA game of the season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a conference game, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our first game, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the only game weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got this week, so all the focus will be on Tulsa,â&#x20AC;? McNeill said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The motivation will be there.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the next guy up. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the first guy up. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enough motivation for us.â&#x20AC;?

It helps that McNeill has some familiarity with Tulsa coach Todd Graham. McNeill spent the past decade on Texas Techâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s staff, while Graham was a high school coach in a Dallas suburb before he made the jump to college ball, joining West Virginiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s staff in 2001 and later getting his Division I head coaching job at Rice in 2006. He moved to Tulsa a year later.

3D

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve crossed paths with coach McNeill quite a bit,â&#x20AC;? Graham said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s genuinely the real deal.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very impressed with him. ... As a former high school coach, just the type of person that he is, he really cares about people.â&#x20AC;?

The Pirates are 2-0 in the past two seasons against Tulsa, including a victory in the 2008 CUSA title game, and that prompted Graham to call East Carolina â&#x20AC;&#x153;the team to beat in this conference.â&#x20AC;?

But those teams were settled at quarterback.

This one isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, at least not yet.

McNeill said he has yet to decide whether former Boston College QB Dominique Davis or sophomore walk-on Brad Wornick will take the first snap Sunday against the Golden Hurricane.

Leach assistant said Wornick at times reminds him of former Tech signal-callers Cody Hodges and Kliff Kingsbury. Davis, Ruffin said, has biggame experience after helping BC reach the 2008 ACC title game, plus the talent and intelligence to run McNeillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s version of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Air Raidâ&#x20AC;? offense. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In this offense, and what we do, a strong arm is great, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ... when and how you deliver that thing thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important in this offense,â&#x20AC;? McNeill said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Both guys are doing a great job. ... Those guys are battling night and day. ... Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see one guy in seven-on-seven just complete great throws. Then, the next guy in team (drills will) do the same thing.â&#x20AC;?

For the man known around campus as

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coach Ruff,â&#x20AC;? itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a long wait to not only return home, but to get that elusive first head coaching opportunity.

Clemens pleads not guilty WASHINGTON (AP) – Roger Clemens put his right hand on the lectern, leaned down toward the microphone and made what might be the most important pitch of his life: “Not guilty, your honor.”

Those words, uttered Monday in a strong, confident voice by the seventime Cy Young Award winner sporting a black blazer and blond highlights in his hair, marked the official beginning of a court case that could taint baseball even further and land the “Rocket” in jail.

U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton presided over an arraignment hearing that lasted less than 14 minutes in the

ceremonial courtroom at the federal courthouse, across the street from the Capitol.

Walton set April 5 as the start of jury selection – the Monday of the first full week of the 2011 baseball season, and also around the time a case involving Barry Bonds, the all-time home run king, could be wrapping up in San Francisco.

If convicted of six counts – three of making false statements, two of perjury and one of obstruction of Congress – Clemens could face up to 30 years in prison and a $1.5 million fine, although 15 to 21 months is the more likely sentence under federal guidelines.

Heyward, Braves hammer Mets THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ATLANTA – Jason Heyward is recovering his power stroke just in time for the Atlanta Braves’ September push for the playoffs.

Heyward homered and drove in four runs, Martin Prado drove in three runs and the NL East-leading Braves beat the New York Mets 9-3 on Monday night.

Heyward had four hits, including a three-run homer off Pat Misch in the second inning. He has five homers in August after hitting only one total in June and July, when he was slowed by a thumb injury. Jair Jurrjens (6-4)

gave up six hits and matched his career high with six walks, but his eight strikeouts helped him limit the Mets to three runs in 52⁄3 innings.

ASTROS 3, CARDINALS 0 HOUSTON – J.A. Happ threw a twohitter and rookie Brett Wallace had a career-high three hits and drove in a run to help the Houston Astros beat the struggling St. Louis Cardinals 3-0 on Monday night.

It was another tough loss for the Cardinals, who have dropped six of seven and entered the day five games behind Cincinnati in the NL Central race.

Melanie Oudin of the United States returns a shot against Olga Savchuk of Ukraine during the U.S. Open in New York on Monday. Oudin won 6-3, 6-0.

Williams, Roddick, Clijsters roll NEW YORK (AP) – Venus Williams landed awkwardly on her recently injured leg after hitting a swinging volley and grimaced. It was about the only glitch during her return to tennis.

Playing for the first time in two months after spraining her left kneecap, seven-time Grand Slam champion Williams beat Roberta Vinci of Italy 6-4, 6-1 Monday night to reach the U.S. Open’s second round.

“It was doing pretty good, till I landed on that leg on the swing volley. ... I was pretty happy to get through after not playing in forever,” said Williams, whose younger sister Serena isn’t playing in the U.S. Open after surgery for deep cuts on her right foot.

“It’s not the same without two Williamses,” the No. 3-seeded Venus added during an on-court interview. “I have big shoes to fill with just one Williams here.”

She hit 10 aces, reaching 126 mph, and became only the fifth woman with 200 career victories at major tournaments.

Vinci knew, of course, about Williams’ recent time off, and said afterward with a sigh: “I hoped she would play worse.”

Two of the American’s seven Grand Slam titles came at Flushing Meadows, in 2000 and 2001, and other past U.S. Open champions Kim Clijsters and Andy Roddick also won on Day 1, with yet another, Roger Federer, on court for the night’s last match. But 32nd-seeded Lleyton Hewitt, who won the tournament in 2001, hit 12 double-faults and

was upset by 109th-ranked Paul-Henri Mathieu of France 6-3, 6-4, 5-7, 4-6, 6-1.

“I wasn’t expecting a whole heap coming into this tournament, based on my preparation,” said Hewitt, who had played only four matches, losing three, since Wimbledon.

Monday’s loss is Hewitt’s only firstround exit in 11 trips to the U.S. Open.

Williams, meanwhile, improved to 12-0 in opening matches in New York, and 48-3 in openers at all major tournaments. She hadn’t competed since being upset in the Wimbledon quarterfinals June 29 by thenNo. 82 Tsvetana Pironkova of Bulgaria.

Pironkova won Monday, too, and Williams could face her in the third round.

That loss at the All England Club, shortly after Williams turned 30, led to talk about how much longer she can contend for major championships – and even how much longer she intends to play on tour. Yes, once you reach a certain age, birthdays tend to make you reflect on your own mortality. They also, in the case of professional athletes, tend to prompt questions about the state of your career.

Roddick turned 28 on Monday, and after beating Stephane Robert of France 6-3, 6-2, 6-2, the ninth-seeded American was asked what significance he attributes to his age. In typical Roddick fashion, he injected his reply with some humor. “Obviously, I know I’m probably closer to the finish than I am to the start,” he said. “But ... it’s a number. I’m barely older than I was yesterday.”

U.S. survives Brazil scare THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ISTANBUL – The United States survived its first tough test at the world championships, edging Brazil 70-68 on Monday when Leandro Barbosa’s shot rattled out at the buzzer.

Kevin Durant scored 27 points and Chauncey Billups added 15 for the Americans (3-0), who essentially clinched Group B with the victory. But this was further proof that a world title won’t

come easily for this young U.S. team – if it comes at all.

After the Americans trailed most of the first 21⁄2 quarters, Lamar Odom’s dunk with 7:14 left in the game put them ahead 64-62. But they couldn’t build on the lead during a tense final few minutes, and Brazil had two chances to send the game to overtime.

Following a miss by Billups, Brazil got the ball and Marcelo Huertas was fouled on a drive to the

basket with 3.5 seconds remaining. He missed the first free throw and then the second intentionally, tracking it down in the corner and firing it underneath to Barbosa, who put up a shot over Kevin Love, only to have it bounce off the back and front of the rim.

Barbosa finished with 14 points after a strong start for Brazil (2-1). Marcus Vinicius scored 16, and Tiago Splitter had 13 while battling foul trouble in the second half.

Official: Charlotte to host 2017 PGA Championship RALEIGH (AP) – Since Quail Hollow Club returned to the PGA Tour in 2003, big-name golfers from Tiger Woods to Phil Mickelson have said the Charlotte course could be the site for a major championship.

That will come in 2017 when it will host the PGA Championship, the final major of each pro season.

A state government official with knowledge of the decision told The Associated Press on Monday that the PGA of America will make a formal announcement on Tuesday. The official spoke on condition of anonymity so as not to preempt the official announcement.

Quail Hollow’s difficult but fair oldstyle layout has drawn one of the top non-major fields of the year. Tiger Woods, who won there in 2007, chose Charlotte as his first non-major tourna-

ment after he missed much of the beginning of this season when his extramarital affairs were exposed.

While Woods missed the cut, he said a year earlier that Quail Hollow would be a good spot for a U.S. Open or PGA Championship.

“You add rough, make it a par-70 and there you go,” he said.

Added Geoff Ogilvy during last May’s event: “It’s a course that feels a step above, challenge-wise. ... I think if we all turned up here and had a U.S. Open or PGA (Championship), it would feel like a normal U.S. Open or a PGA. It does feel like a major kind of place.”

Gov. Beverly Perdue, Charlotte Mayor Anthony Foxx and club president Johnny Harris all are expected at today’s announcement, a public relations firm said.

Automobiles fuel consumer spending WASHINGTON (AP) – Americans spent last month at the fastest pace in four months, helped by a jump in demand for automobiles.

Consumer spending rose 0.4 percent in July after three lackluster months, the Commerce Department said Monday. Spending fell 0.1 percent in April, rose a tiny 0.1 percent in May and was flat in June.

Personal incomes were up 0.2 percent in July, less than expected but at least an improvement over June when incomes had not risen at all.

The July spending gain was the highest since a 0.5 percent rise in March. But the concern is that demand could taper off in the second half of this year if un-

Oil prices drop on spending report NEW YORK – Oil prices fell after the Commerce Department said consumer spending rose just 0.4 percent in July.

That included a 2.6 percent increase in spending on gasoline and other energy products, like electricity. However, there are concerns that consumers will buy less gas and oil in the second half of the year with unemployment high and the economic recovery wobbly.

Benchmark crude for October delivery lost 47 cents to settle at $74.70 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

3M to buy Cogent for $943 million NEW YORK – 3M Co., the conglomerate whose products range from Post-Its to respirators, computer arms and films for LCD TV screens, is trying to expand into the security market by buying Cogent Inc. for about $943 million.

Cogent develops automated systems that read finger and palm prints, and it makes iris and face recognition systems used by government agencies.

Google, AP reach new licensing deal NEW YORK – Google and The Associated Press have struck a new licensing deal that will allow Google to continue posting the news cooperative’s content.

The AP said in a statement Monday that the two companies also will work together in ways to improve discovery and distribution of news.

employment remains near double digits.

If Americans don’t have jobs, they don’t have the income to support spending. Consumer spending is critical because it accounts for 70 percent of economic activity.

Peter Newland, an economist at Barclays Capital Research, said he viewed the July increase in spending as a good omen for the rest of the July-to-September quarter.

“All in all, July’s report supports our view that consumer spending will continue to recover, albeit modestly, supported by a gradual improvement in labor income,” Newland wrote in a research note.

With spending rising, the personal savings rate

slowed to 5.9 percent of after-tax income. That’s down from 6.2 percent in June, the highest in nearly a year. Even with the July decline, the savings rate is nearly three times higher than it was before the recession began in December 2007.

Economists had long worried about low savings in the United States.

But now they fear households have become too frugal and that is holding back consumer spending.

The gain in spending reflected a 1 percent jump in demand for durable goods. About half of that increase came from a jump in auto sales, the government said.

HP authorizes share buyback PALO ALTO, Calif.

(AP) – Hewlett-Packard Co. said Monday its board has authorized the repurchase of $10 billion in shares.

The announcement comes as the personal computer maker is involved in a bidding contest with rival Dell Inc. for the data storage company 3Par Inc. Shares of HP, which is based in Palo Alto, Calif., rose $1.28, or 3.4 percent, to $39.28 in early trading.

HP said it plans to use the share buyback authorization to manage share dilution from employee stock plans and to buy back shares opportunistically.

Hewlett-Packard had $4.9 billion left under its current $8 billion repurchase plan at the end of July.

On Friday, HP raised its offer for 3Par to $30 a share, or $1.88 billion, and 3Par later threw its support for that offer. Dell is considering raising its offer of $27 a share.

Dell, based in Round Rock, Texas, has the right to match any higher bid and have its offer take precedence within three business days starting on Monday, Dell spokesman David Frink said on Saturday.

The acquisition of the Fremont, Calif., company would help both HP and Dell beef up their “cloud computing” businesses, delivering software, data storage and other services to customers over the Internet. 3Par has technology that doles out storage space on the fly and that would help keep data storage costs down.

India delays BlackBerry ban MUMBAI, India (AP) – India said it withdrew a threat Monday to ban BlackBerry services for at least two more months after the device’s maker, Research In Motion Ltd., agreed to give security officials “lawful access” to encrypted data.

The Ministry of Home Affairs, which wants real time access to encrypted corporate e-mails and instant messaging, said in a statement it would review RIM’s security proposals over the next

60 days after the Department of Telecommunications studies the feasibility of routing BlackBerry services through a server in India.

It remains unclear precisely what concessions Research In Motion agreed to in order to avert the ban.

About 1 million BlackBerry users would have been affected in India.

Developments in India on Monday echo Saudi Arabia’s decision earlier this month to suspend a planned ban.

Stocks sink as investors await data NEW YORK (AP) – Stocks fell in thin trading Monday after more signs of slowing economic growth got investors worried ahead of a key report on jobs later this week.

The Dow Jones industrial average lost ground throughout the day and closed with a loss of 141 points.

The latest cause for worry on the economy came in a report early Monday showing that personal incomes rose less than expected in July. That added to a series of discouraging economic indicators recently suggesting that growth could slow down in the second half of the year.

“The personal income report did little to ease the nervousness about the trajectory of the economy,” said Alan Gayle, senior investment strategist at RidgeWorth Investments.

The report did show spending was up in July, but without consistent growth in income, any increase in spending is likely temporary, Gayle said.

Investors have been focusing on employment data as a way of predicting where the economy is going. Because the Labor Department’s monthly employment report doesn’t come until Friday, investors will look for signs earlier in the week about the jobs market. A report on private employment comes out Wednesday, and firsttime claims for unemployment insurance for last week will come out on Thursday.

Intel to buy chipmaker unit

MIAMI (AP) – The National Hurricane Center says Tropical Storm Fiona has formed in the Atlantic Ocean behind Hurricane Earl, which is battering the northeastern Caribbean.

Fiona formed east of the Leeward Islands on Monday afternoon and forecasters say a tropical storm watch may

The Infineon deal would give Intel technical know-how to make chips for small devices that don’t drain batteries as quickly. That expertise is particularly needed for chips built around the low-power ARM architecture, which is widely used in cell phones.

The deal, which still requires regulatory ap-

proval, is expected to close in the first quarter of 2011.

On Aug. 19, Intel announced plans to buy security software maker McAfee Inc. for $7.68 billion in what would be the biggest acquisition in Intel’s 42-year history once it gains the expected approvals.

As mobile phones become increasingly entic-

ing targets for hackers, security companies have been developing ways to protect those devices.

With McAfee, Intel would be able to bake security into its mobile chips – including those from Infineon.

Both deals signal a shift away from Intel’s traditional market of providing chips to power personal computers.

Genzyme rejects Sanofi-Aventis offer NEW YORK (AP) – Biotechnology company Genzyme Corp. said Monday it rejected Sanofi-Aventis SA’s $18.5 billion buyout offer because it undervalues the company.

On Sunday, French drug developer SanofiAventis offered $69 per share for Genzyme, which has been struggling in the aftermath of manufacturing problems for key drugs.

Genzyme shares traded above the offering price Monday, suggesting share-

BUSINESS

NEW YORK (AP) – Intel Corp. is buying the wireless communications unit of Germany’s Infineon Technologies AG for $1.4 billion in cash, the second deal in as many weeks that allows the chipmaker to expand beyond the struggling personal computer market.

Intel has tried with limited success to get its chips into cell phones. It is hoping to change that by buying Infineon’s wireless business, which makes chips for smart phones such as Apple Inc.’s iPhone.

It’s a problem Intel is urgently trying to fix because the smart phone market is too lucrative for Intel to remain a bit player.

Intel’s chips are criticized as being too power-

holders expect the bid to go higher.

In a letter to Sanofi-Aventis, Genzyme Chairman and CEO Henri A. Termeer said the board unanimously rejected the offer. He said the board is “not prepared to engage” in negotiations with an “unrealistic” starting price.

On Sunday, Sanofi-Aventis, based in Paris, made the buyout offer following months of rumors. The offer marked a 38 percent premium over Genzyme’s closing price of $49.86 on July 1,

just before speculation over a deal.

The deal comes as Genzyme tries to bounce back from manufacturing issues with key drugs Cerezyme and Fabrazyme for genetic conditions. In June 2009, the company shut down its Boston plant for about three months to clean up viral contamination that had been slowing production. Then in November, the Food and Drug Administration said it found tiny particles of trash in drugs made by Genzyme, including steel, rubber and

fiber. The agency recommended that doctors closely inspect vials of four drugs made at the plant: Cerezyme, Fabrazyme, Myozyme and Thyrogen. The company has been restructuring its manufacturing operations since January.

Genzyme, based in Cambridge, Mass., said it responded to Sanofi-Aventis’ previous offer on Aug. 11, saying the offer represented a “opportunistic takeover proposal” that doesn’t recognize the progress the company has made.

The storm has winds of 40 mph (65 kph) and is about 890 miles (1,435 km) east of the Leeward Islands.

Earl, meanwhile, rapidly intensified into a major Category 3 storm on a path projected to menace the United States.

Waters rough for shore resorts between storms OCEAN CITY, N.J. (AP) – So much for a perfect finale to the summer vacation season.

On beaches from Maryland to New Jersey, rip currents and strong swells in the Atlantic Ocean associated with Hurricane Danielle meant another day of swimming restrictions Monday.

And it could get worse later in the week.

A second hurricane, Earl, battered Puerto Rico on Monday and is expected to zip up the coast, bringing at least more rough seas, and possibly tropical storm conditions, including heavy rain and strong wind to some areas just in time for Labor Day weekend.

Earl is expected to pass off the coast of North Carolina on Thursday and continue parallel to land, passing by Maine on Saturday.

National Hurricane

Center maps show a chance that it could hit land anywhere from North Carolina through New England.

On Monday, swimmers on the guarded beach of the family resort of Ocean City, N.J., were being told not to go into the water beyond waist-deep as violent waves pounded the beach.

And that was an improvement over the weekend’s conditions, when lifeguards in shore communities in New Jersey pulled out scores of struggling swimmers.

On Saturday, it was so rough that even surf schools scrapped their lessons. And while Sunday was a bit better, boogie boards were still barred. A guard rode a WaveRunner parallel to the beach to make sure swimmers weren’t going too far out and the beachside guards were not shy with their whistles.
