Battered by the recession, people chronically out of work are exhausting even the longest-available set of unemployment benefits. The National Employment Law Project esti-

mates that 15,000 North Carolinians will exhaust unemployment benefits by the end of this month. By the end of the year, the statewide total swells to 32,000 North Carolinians. “Those people are those who lost their jobs last fall when the state economy

List of projects. 2A BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

Photo shows Finch Farm Road looking south past the intersection at Welborn Road. the MPO members had to pare down the number of recommended road projects to the N.C. Board of Transportation because of a reform effort by Gov. Beverly Perdue during her first year in office. Perdue’s administration is changing the way the N.C. Department of Transportation prioritizes and begins

work on items in the state Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), the long-range blueprint for road projects statewide. Smothers and her cohorts had to come up with 25 area road projects as priorities in the reformed TIP, while leaving out eight projects. The list of recommended local projects will be taken

up by the state Board of Transportation. Smothers said she hopes the reforms to transportation planning will lead to a more realistic and doable schedule of road projects. In the past, twice as many projects have been listed in the TIP as money available for work. “We hope that, within

our division, there will be the dollars allocated to get these projects moving,” Smothers said. Even though it was painful for local officials to eliminate eight projects, Smothers said she hopes in the long run the region will benefit by accelerating work on the remaining priorities. “The way it had been going, it just takes so long to get anything completed,” she said. DOT staff on Wednesday presented an interim work program to the state Board of Transportation, said Greer Beaty, director of communications for the DOT in Raleigh. “We looked at what projects we can realistically accomplish in the next five years,” she said. The new TIP will be completed by May, Beaty said. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

Most students will have chance to see Obama’s speech BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – Most area students will have an opportunity to hear President Obama’s live national speech Tuesday. The White House said the nationally televised speech, which has become the focus of political controversy on talk radio shows and other venues, will encourage students to do well and to work hard. Several Triad school district leaders said Friday teachers and principals will decide whether students should watch the president. Parents can request that their children not participate.

BROADCAST

–

When: Noon, Tuesday from Wakefield High in Arlington, Va., via live transmission on television and the Internet. Topic: The U.S. Department of Education said the speech will be about working hard in school, setting educational goals and taking responsibility for learning. “We’re also aware that some parents and staff members may have a different view,” said Guilford County Schools spokeswoman Haley Miller. “Parents may opt out by notifying their child’s school. Schools will provide alternative learning activities so valuable instructional time won’t be lost.” Although former Repub-

lican presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush delivered similar speeches, some opponents have argued the president’s message oversteps his authority. “I don’t mind the president speaking to students,” said Guilford County Board of Education member Garth Hebert of High Point. “But I have serious

OUT OF WORK

HIGH POINT – Local work force counselor Charles Diggs handled yet another sobering phone call Friday morning from a worried job-seeker asking about unemployment benefits. In what’s become an alltoo-frequent refrain, Diggs talked with the man troubled about exhausting his unemployment benefits before he can find a new job. If he exhausts his jobless benefits, the man told Diggs, he’d lose his main source of income now. “We have a large number of people who are starting to run low or run out of unemployment benefits,” said Diggs, assistant manager of the High Point office of the N.C. Employment Security Commission. The dilemma confront-

reservations about a note from the secretary of education about how students should be prepared to receive the message. That smacks of indoctrination. I’d prefer more substance. I think the speech will be emotional rhetoric.” Overall, teachers and principals will try to fit the speech into their normal courses, according to the district leaders. “If classroom teachers desire to use the address as material that supports the curriculum objective, they may do so,” said Meredith Palmer, spokeswoman for Davidson County Schools. James Carmichael, associate superintendent for Thomasville City Schools,

said teachers will decide whether students watch the speech in the classroom. The staff at each Randolph County school will decide, said Superintendent Donald Andrews. “We told principals they would have to give the parents the option of opting out if they so desire because it appears to be somewhat controversial,” Andrews said. “We are not doing what Guilford County and Forsyth County did in that everybody is watching it all. I didn’t think that was appropriate at all.” Staff Writer Darrick Ignasiak contributed to this report. dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

turned. Folks who lost their jobs at the beginning of this year won’t reach that point until 2010,” said labor analyst John Quinterno, who’s with South by North Strategies out of Chapel Hill. Locally, 1,715 people in Davidson, Guilford and Randolph counties could exhaust unemploy-

ment benefits in the next 120 days, according to ESC figures. That breaks down to 368 in Davidson County, 1,025 in Guilford County and 322 in Randolph County. The responsibility for providing an extension of jobless benefits rests with Congress. Quinterno said two bills would be under

consideration when Congress returns from its summer recess after the Labor Day holiday. Extending jobless benefits is critical not only to helping the unemployed in a time of need, but providing a boost to local economies battered by high joblessness, Quinterno said.

“(Unemployment) insurance payments have become a lifeline for many jobless individuals who are unable to find work due to the weak labor market. Those funds, in turn, tend to get spent quickly and locally,” he said. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

DAVIDSON COUNTY â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Davidson County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office has charged a former Welcome firefighter with stealing $2,600 worth of firefighting equipment. According to a sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office press release, a Welcome Fire Department representative reported to the sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office June 13 that an unknown person had stole $2,600 worth of firefighting equipment from the firemanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s locker at the fire department. Deputies said there was

no evidence that the fire department had been broken into, but the theft occurred sometime between June 9 and July 11. Christopher Adam Tolley, 21, of 287 Bethesda Road, Lexington, has been charged with one count of felony larceny.

Troopers: Man in fatal wreck was driving 90 mph ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

DAVIDSON COUNTY â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A Lexington man died Thursday night in a single-car accident on Old Salisbury Road in Davidson County. According to the N.C. State Highway Patrol, Albert Ray Holmes Jr, 47, of 114 Burbank Drive, was traveling south on Old Salisbury Road when his

1998 Volkswagen went off the road and struck a tree at about 9:30 p.m. N.C. State Highway Patrol Trooper J.P. Page reported Holmes was driving about 90 mph in a 45 mph zone when he lost control of his car. A Highway Patrol spokeswoman said there were no other contributing factors to the accident reported by Page.

RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A unique commission designed to assess claims of innocence voted unanimously Friday to ask a panel of judges to reconsider the case of a man who has spent 16 years in prison for murder. After two days of emotional hearings, the North Carolina Innocence Inquiry Commission determined that there was sufficient evidence that Greg Taylor may not have committed the 1991 killing. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a first-of-its-kind pathway for convicts to pursue their claim of innocence, and a panel of judges that will now take the case has the power to set Taylor free. Craig Taylor, due to get out of prison in two years, put his future on the line by confessing to the killing in an interview with state investigators played at Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hearing. Then commissioners watched a video of the man currently in jail for the crime, Greg Taylor, as he broke down into sobbing tears after learning of the admission.

Drug sweep nets murder suspect SPARTANBURG, S.C. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; An annual traffic crackdown in northern South Carolina ended with 49 people going to jail, including a man wanted for murder in Fayetteville, N.C. Spartanburg County Sheriff Chuck Wright said Friday that officers from across the state made more than 1,600 traffic stops during the four-day crackdown on Interstates 26 and 85 earlier this week. They seized more than a dozen guns and about $114,000 in cash. Officers made 10 felony arrests, including 25year-old Terry Broussard Jr., who was wanted for murder. During Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s traffic stop Wright says officers also seized four guns from the vehicle. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t immediately clear if Broussard had an attorney.

He says the Auditorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office is trying to force

him out in part because heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a Republican. Wood is a Democrat. But the dismissal motion filed late Thursday in Wake County court said it was Black who had asked for a voluntary buyout and that Woodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office had no plans to lay him off involuntarily.

Before America implodes, we need drastic reform

A constitutional amendment can be originated in a state legislature and then passed by 36 states to become part of the Constitution. North Carolina was one of the original 13 states, so it is only right that we begin the movement, and I recommend that North Carolinians endorse the following ideas. I recommend that we start a constitutional amendment to be known as the “We the People” Amendment: • Limit all congressional positions to two two-year terms. • Each state may elect two senators and two members of the House of Representatives. • All states are to pay the salaries and expenses for their national elected officials. • Limit Congress to one fourmonth session per year; Congress will then spend the remaining part of the year in their state with their constituents and be “on-call” for emergencies. • All congressional bills must be written by elected congressional persons. • No pork/piggy-back on any bill; each bill must stand on its own merits. • If an elected official dies while

in office, the state legislature (by vote) appoints the replacement for Congress. • Absolutely no lobbyists in Congress. No contact what-so-ever! If a congressman fails to report a lobbyist, he/she is to be expelled and the lobbyist is to serve one year in jail. • All nationally elected positions are to be nonpartisan. • All states have four Electoral College votes. • No contracted individual’s (by presidential appointment) annual salary can exceed that of the president’s. • No lawyer may hold a nationally elected office but may be appointed to a judgeship, etc. Ask yourself: If not me, who?

Guilford Education Alliance says thanks for support With a new school year beginning, Guilford Education Alli-

ance wants to thank our many supporters from last school year who donated over $300,000 worth of new or recycled supplies to the Teacher Supply Warehouse where public school teachers can shop for free for needed items for their classrooms. We’d like to make our program even more successful this school year by inviting all businesses to donate their surplus or out of date office supplies to the warehouse at 1606 Yanceyville St. A tax receipt will be provided and a special “Thank You” from the classrooms where your donations make a difference. And we want to thank those who used DonorsChoose.org as a way to make tax deductible donations for needed materials for specific classroom projects requested by our teachers. Over the past three years, more than $150,000 has been donated to fund special projects such as “The Letter Factory” ($150), to “Bugs in My Bonnet” ($398), to “I’ve Got Rhythm” ($1,142). Donors Choose allows donors the flexibility to support their

favorite school or teacher in the Guilford County School system. Visit the Guilford Education Alliance Web site, www.guilfordeducationalliance.org to learn more about the Teachers Supply Warehouse and DonorsChoose.org. These initiatives, plus Harvest for Teachers, and other individual school partnerships demonstrate the commitment of our community to make education its top priority so we can have excellent public schools!

OTHER VIEW

From The Daily Reflector of Greenville, Aug. 23 Rural areas find themselves at a marked disadvantage when it comes to finding accessible and affordable medical care. These regions are traditionally underserved because of the difficulty in drawing health care professions to serve in places with smaller populations, and which traditionally have lower incomes and education levels. Freshman U.S. Sen. Kay Hagan hopes to change that trend through the Rural Physician Pipeline Act, a bill that would add incentives to doctors who serve these areas. The need is real, and members on both sides of the aisle would do well to make passage of this act a priority when Congress returns to work. Eastern North Carolina knows all too well the challenge of providing medical care to residents throughout this region. It was not long ago that residents outside Greenville and Pitt County struggled to find care. A key institution that has changed that situation is the Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University. Since its establishment more than 30 years ago, the school has focused on rural health and encouraging its graduates to serve those regions in need of gifted health professionals. Hagan aims to bolster that effort through her bill, which is under committee consideration. The legislation, which she co-sponsored with U.S. Sen. Mark Udall of Colorado, would provide funding to create a specific degree track for those wishing to practice medicine in rural areas. It would also expand recruiting efforts in those areas, to give students who seek a career in medicine the opportunity to pursue that dream and help their communities. Udall is hopeful that the health care reform under heated debate in Washington would include assistance for rural areas, but it is hard to share his optimism. Rural regions are routinely neglected, despite overwhelming evidence they are most in need of help. Residents of eastern North Carolina have never received the type of care enjoyed in more urban areas, and suffer from higher levels of disease and shorter life spans as a result. This bill may not be the cure-all to that problem, but it is an important attempt to address a major inadequacy. Legislation that aims directly at the problem of poor health care in rural regions is needed, and Hagan’s effort should have the support of both parties as it progresses.

KABUL – Eight security guards at the U.S. Embassy in Afghanistan were fired and two resigned following allegations of lewd behavior and sexual misconduct at their living quarters. The Kabul senior management team of ArmorGroup North America, the private contractor that provides guards for the State Department, was also “being replaced immediately,” an embassy statement said Friday. The terminated guards, who left Afghanistan on Friday, all appeared in photographs depicting guards and supervisors in various stages of nudity at parties.

U.N. hosts summit in Kabul after election

UNITED NATIONS – The United Nations is planning to host a summit in Afghanistan following the country’s disputed elections that will bring the new government and key international players together to promote a new agenda to promote development and democracy in coming years. Ari Gaitanis, spokesman for the U.N. Peacekeeping Department, said Friday the summit will likely be held next spring in the capital, Kabul.

China: Muslim separatists to blame for attacks

URUMQI, China – China’s security chief blamed Muslim separatists Friday for a string of bizarre needle attacks that drew thousands of angry protesters into the streets as officials disclosed five people were killed and 14 injured during demonstrations in this restive city. Police fired tear gas to break up continuing protests by thousands of Han Chinese, the country’s majority ethnic group, underscoring how unsettled Urumqi remains despite a massive security crackdown following ethnic rioting in July that left 197 people dead.

Peres: Palestinian state first, full peace later

CERNOBBIO, Italy – Israeli President Shimon Peres, a longtime advocate of peace with the Palestinians, said Friday that a comprehensive settlement resolving the century-old dispute was not currently achievable. He called instead for a Palestinian state under a provisional arrangement even without a formal peace deal.

NATO jets bomb fuel tankers Afghans say more than 70 killed in big explosion before dawn KUNDUZ, Afghanistan (AP) – A U.S. jet dropped 500-pound bombs on two tanker trucks hijacked by the Taliban before dawn Friday, triggering a huge explosion that Afghan officials said killed more than 70 people, including insurgents and some civilians who had swarmed around the vehicles to siphon off fuel. Germany, whose troops called in the 2:30 a.m. strike in the northern province of Kunduz, said it feared the hijackers would use the trucks to carry out a suicide attack against its military base nearby. The airstrike took place as the U.S. wrestles with the level of its troop commitment here and despite efforts by the top U.S. general to curb use of air power and reduce civilian casualties, which have strained relations between the NATO force and the Afghan government. Hours earlier, the top Pentagon officer, Adm. Mike Mullen, said civilian casualties had recently been greatly reduced in Afghanistan.

Afghan police examine one of two burnt fuel tankers near Kunduz, Afghanistan, Friday. A NATO jet blasted the tankers, hijacked by the Taliban in northern Afghanistan, setting off a huge fireball. Germany said about 50 fighters were killed and no civilians were believed in the area at the time.

Iraq sends thousands more police to Syrian border BAGHDAD (AP) – Iraq has deployed thousands of reinforcements along its border with Syria to prevent insurgents from crossing the desert frontier, as the government said Friday it has provided Syria with evidence linking Iraqis there to bombings. Extra police were sent to the border this week on the prime minister’s orders in response to the government’s assertion that former members of Saddam Hussein’s Baath

Party based in Syria planned and financed last month’s attacks against the foreign and finance ministries, said Maj. Gen. Tariq Youssef, the police commander in western Iraq. Iraq is seeking the extradition of two suspects, but Syria has refused, demanding to see proof of their involvement. The dispute has strained relations between the two countries and again put Syria on the defensive over accusations it is

not doing enough to stop cross-border attacks. The Aug. 19 truck bombings outside the government ministries in Baghdad killed about 100 people. Iraq has blamed an alliance between al-Qaida in Iraq and the outlawed Baath Party. Turkey, which has experience as a regional mediator, has tried to soothe the dispute between the two countries, which have both recalled their ambassadors.

Iran says U.S. nuke documents ‘forged’ VIENNA (AP) – Iran accused the U.S. on Friday of using “forged documents” and relying on subterfuge to make its case that Tehran is trying to build a nuclear weapon, according to a confidential letter obtained by The Associated Press. The eight-page letter – written by Iran’s chief envoy to the U.N. nuclear agency in Vienna – denounces Washing-

ton’s allegations against the Islamic Republic as “fabricated, baseless and false.” The letter does not specify what documents Iran is alleging were forged. It also lashes out at Britain and France for “ill will and political motivation” in their dealings on Iran. Iranian envoy Ali Asghar Soltanieh sent the letter to Mohamed ElBaradei, the

and there was nothing,” Elgindy said. In her paper, one of the few studies on religious clothing laws in recent years, Elgindy noted she could find no evidence that the laws statutes have ever been invoked by students. Rather, the recent legal history has been created by teachers trying to keep their jobs after administrators confronted them. Court rulings in both Oregon and federal court in Pennsylvania rejected the claims by teachers and pointed out conflicts with the First Amendment: Teachers have a constitutional right to freedom of religion, but school districts must

Michigan church enlists Satan in advertising campaign

TRENTON, Mich. (AP) – A Michigan church is enlisting Satan in a bid to drum up attendance at services. Metro South Church in the Detroit suburb of Trenton is posting signs saying the nondenominational Christian con-

gregation “sucks” and “makes me sick.” The ads are signed by Satan. The campaign even has a Web site explaining why Satan hates the church. Youth Pastor Adam Dorband tells WJBK-TV the church is trying to

reach out to people and cut through the “noise.” Dorband said Jesus “wants us to be creative and he wants us to ... use whatever it takes to reach people.” Pastor Jeremy Schossau says the campaign is meant to be whimsical and isn’t intended to upset anyone.

During her eight years as a teacher in the Chicago area, Elgindy says she never ran into a conflict over her style of dress and covering her hair. “It never was something that seemed to be in the way of my being a teacher,” she said, adding it was often the opposite reaction. “They said, ’Here’s somebody of a different background who can bring diversity to the staff.’ It was always seen as positive thing.” An example of a shift in court attitude may have been signaled when the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled unanimously in 1999 that Muslim police officers in Newark, N.J., must be allowed to wear beards.

But there has been a gradual shift away from them to protect teachers’ religious freedom as long as it does not disrupt the classroom. “It’s now sort of gone full circle,” Kaufman said. “The law now requires neutrality regarding religion, meaning the states or schools can neither favor nor disfavor religion.” The few remaining bans “are really suspect constitutionally now,” he said.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) – A law backed by the Ku Klux Klan nearly a century ago to keep Catholics out of public schools is still on the books in Oregon, one of the last states in the nation to prohibit teachers from wearing religious clothing in classrooms. Both Pennsylvania and Nebraska have similar laws, which try to balance the constitutional conflict between protecting students from the establishment of religion in schools and the rights of teachers to express their beliefs through their dress. Oregon’s law, originally aimed at priest collars and nun habits, survived a legal challenge in the 1980s by a Sikh convert who wanted to wear her turban in the classroom and was recently upheld by the state’s Legislature. A Muslim teacher in Pennsylvania lost a similar challenge in 1991 to that state’s even older

Apophthegmata Patrum: Sayings of the Desert Fathers I

n the 300s and 400s in Egypt, a number of men and women decided to live in the desert in order to escape the busyness of life and to focus on God. This was the beginning of the monastic (or monk) movement. Some lived singly in caves, while others built houses and lived in small communities. A number of teachings and sayings of the spiritual leaders have been passed down in what is known as the Apophthegmata Patrum, or Sayings of the Desert Fathers. This column will share some of these. (These sayings are each around 1600 years old. Also, the Aramaic “Abba” is used, which means “Father.”) 1. Abba Poemen used to say, “A man will be always tripped up by that thing which he will not cut off from himself.” 2. Abba John said, “If a king wishes to subdue a city belonging to enemies, he first of all keeps them without bread and water, and the enemy being in this way harassed by hunger becomes subject unto him; and thus it is in respect of the passions, for if a man endures fasting and hunger regularly, his

enemies become stricken with weakness in the soul.” 3. A certain brother was estranged from a fellow monk, and he came to Abba Sisoes the Theban, and said to him, STUDYING “I am estranged from a THE CHURCH fellow monk, and I wish to take vengeance for myself;” and the old man Mark said, “Let us pray.” And Nickens while he was praying, ■■■ he said in his prayer, “O God, from now on we have no need of You to take care of us, for we will take vengeance for ourselves;” and when the brother heard these words, he fell down at the feet of the old man and said unto him, “From now on I will not enter into judgment with that brother.” And so Abba Sisoes healed that brother. 4. One of the old men used to say, “The Prophets compiled the Scriptures, and the [Desert] Fathers have copied them, and the men who came

after them learned to repeat them by heart; then came this generation and its children have placed them in cupboards as useless things.”

A number of teachings and sayings of the spiritual leaders have been passed down in what is known as the Apophthegmata Patrum, or Sayings of the Desert Fathers. 5. Abba Poemen used to say, “Teach your heart to keep that which your tongue teaches.” 6. Certain of the old men went to Abba Poemen, and said unto him, “Do you wish us if we see brothers sleeping in the congregation, to hit them so that they wake up?” And he said unto them, “If I see my brother

sleeping, I place his head upon my knees, and I give him a place to rest upon.” 7. A certain brother committed an offense in Scete, the camp of the monks, and when a congregation was assembled on this matter, they sent after Abba Moses, but he refused to come; then they sent the priest of the church to him, saying, “Come, for all the people are expecting you,” and he rose up and came. And he took a basket with a hole in it and filled it with sand, and carried it upon his shoulders, and those who went out to meet him said unto him, “What does this mean, O father?” And he said unto them, “It is my sins which are running down behind me and I cannot see them, and I, even I, have come this day to judge shortcomings which are not mine.” And when they heard this, they set free that brother and said nothing further to him.

Grandparents are very special people W

ere it not for grandparents, none of us would be here. My two grandmothers and my maternal grandfather lived into their 80s. I never knew my Grandpa Ellis. He died when my dad was 9 years old so I never knew much about him. As a child and teenager, I did not ask much about him. I wish I had. As we approach Labor Day, I realize and know from stories I did hear that my grandparents and my parents were well acquainted with and accustomed to hard manual labor. Grandpa Ellis dealt in cattle as well as selling beef from his meat wagon. Grandpa Perry was in the timber business primarily for the Carbon Fuel Coal Co. Grandmothers took care of managing the home that meant cooking three meals daily, mending and washing

clothes and canning fruits and vegetables in the summer and fall months. Labor Day in the coalfields of West Virginia SHARING was a very special day. Safety THE SPIRIT meets were a part of the day, Bill especially in the Ellis morning hours ■■■ as coal miners went through demonstrations of how they care for those injured in mining accidents. The day might include a political speech and/or a baseball game in the afternoon. Dad told me of the year when the featured speaker was Lowell Thomas, the famous radio newscaster. He appeared at Decota, W.Va., in eastern Kanawha County, at

the head of Cabin Creek. Grandparents Day, like Mother’s Day, originated in West Virginia. Marian McQuade of Oak Hill, W.Va., has been recognized nationally by The United States Senate and President Jimmy Carter, as the founder of National Grandparents Day. The first national Grandparents Day was observed in 1978 and every year since on the first Sunday after Labor Day. It is observed on the same day in both the United States and Canada. Charles R. Swindoll, in his book, Come Before Winter, (Multnomah Press, Portland, Ore., 1985), writes the following about grandparents. “Grandparents’ favorite gesture is open arms and their favorite question is, ‘What do you wanna do?’ and their favorite words are ‘I love you, honey.’ They don’t

look for mistakes and failures; they forgive them. They don’t remember that you spent your last dollar foolishly; they forget it. And they don’t skip pages when they read to you … nor do they say ‘Hurry up’ when you want to see how far you can make the rock skip across the lake. They’ll even stop and lick an ice cream cone with ya. “But best of all, when you want to talk, they want to listen. Long, loud lectures are out … so are comments like ‘You ought to be ashamed of yourself’ and ‘That’s stupid!’ It’s funny, but you somehow get the impression that things like money and possessions and clothes aren’t nearly as important as you. And getting somewhere on time isn’t half as significant as enjoying the trip. “Isn’t God good? Generation after generation He provides a

PatiencePatience is one aspect of the

fresh set of grandparents … an ever-present counterculture in our busy world.” Celebrate Grandparents Day on Sunday, Sept. 13, by visiting your grandparents if possible. If you can’t do that, send them a card, write them a letter, e-mail them and even better, give them a call so they can hear your voice. Ask your grandparents many questions, especially about your parents when they were little and do remember to ask them about life when they were children and teenagers. They can tell you some terrific stories. Ask them everything you can think of. Grandparents are very special. Thank them for their guidance, direction and sacrifices. Kitty and I love and enjoy our five grandchildren.

However a godly response would be to suffer patiently and perhaps to admonish gently, but certainly not to be quick to anger. Think of how God dealt with the Israelites in Old Testament times, bearing patiently with their continued faithfulness and transgressions. And, consider too how Jesus patiently bore the pain and humiliation of being beaten, tortured and ridiculed in preparation for the most ignominious of deaths on the cross. Surely, Jesus was a model of long-suffering for all of us. Then Peter came up and said to him, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times?” Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you seven times, but seventy times seven.” R.S.V. Matthew 18:21-22 479440©HPE

New formula counts more older Americans in poverty

WASHINGTON (AP) – The poverty rate among older Americans could be nearly twice as high as the traditional 10 percent level, according to a revision of a half-century-old formula for calculating medical costs and geographic variations in the cost of living. The National Academy of Science’s formula would put the poverty rate for Americans 65 and over at 18.6 percent, or 6.8 million people, compared with 9.7 percent, or 3.6 million people, under the existing measure. The original government formula, created in 1955, doesn’t take account of rising costs of medical care and other factors. “It’s a hidden problem,” said Robin Talbert, AARP president.

HPU Passport Card encourages students to support local business BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT - Some local restaurants and shops are getting a boost in business from High Point University students and faculty through the use of their university ID cards. The cards, named the HPU Passport Card, serve as an identification tool at the university as well as a debit card that can be used at participating restaurants and other businesses in the city. “A general account attached to the card can be used on or off campus,” said Leslie Smith, chief campus concierge at the school, who manages the program. “Parents can load money to the card online for students, and the funds will be posted immediately (to the card).” According to Smith, students, faculty and staff spent more than $80,000 at local businesses through their passport cards during the 2008-09 academic year. Restaurants and businesses like CVS Pharmacy, Jersey Mike’s Subs and Barberitos, which are charged a small fee to enroll in the program, operated by Blackboard Inc., said they saw an increase in business when students returned last

week for the fall semester. “During the school year, we have a lot of students in here,” said Tammy Morgan, manager of Jersey Mike’s. “It brings us business, and it allows students to eat healthy here.” “We get the word out about these businesses and recommend them to students,” Smith said. “This is really the only other opportunity to advertise to our students besides our campus newspaper. It’s more of a campaign for the businesses than something the university makes money off.” Senior Lauren McGraw said the HPU Passport Card encourages her to eat at restaurants around the city. “Students trust the places that the card recommends,” McGraw said. “A lot of places will give students a discount with the card, and it’s safer to carry than your wallet or a credit card.” Six businesses were signed up through the program when it began in May 2008. Today, 35 businesses are enrolled. “Parents just like knowing where students spend their money,” Smith added. “The passport card doesn’t restrict them to stay on campus.” phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

ADVICE THE HIGH POINT ENTERPRISE SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 2009 www.hpe.com

It’s time to prepare those fall gardens E

arly September is a good time to get your fall garden started for autumn and early winter green veggies and root crops to enhance every meal. Even a small plot of ground 5-by-10 feet or bigger will reward you with enough veggies for two people. Soil should be prepared for fall vegetables just as it would be for any garden. I clean off the old vegetable debris in mid August but leave any straw mulching that is on the surface. Before tilling, I spread lime to ensure the pH is around 6.0-6.5 and then broadcast 10-10-10 fertilizer at a rate of about 2 to 3 pounds per 100 square feet. I let the tilled soil set for about one week to help rot the straw and any other bits of green vegetable matter from the previous crop. Another tilling is in order prior to

planting. Most years I still have healthy pepper plants and okra growing and producing so I leave them in the garden and ECOLOGY work around them. Gwyn I always plant Riddick cabbage and ■■■ broccoli from small bedding plants. I would recommend using plants also for growing cauliflower. Using small transplants give you a head start towards maturity in growing the heads that you will harvest. Other greens and cole crops can easily be planted from seed since they grow quickly and don’t form heads. Early Jersey Wakefield cabbage is my preferred variety since it produces heads

about two weeks quicker than large headed varieties like Round Dutch. Since our family likes almost all greens, we plant collards, kale, tendergreen and curly mustards, spinach, turnip greens (Seven Top variety which forms better greens instead of roots), arugula and leaf lettuces. For root crops, we like Purple Top turnips which grow hefty roots, beets, radishes and baby round carrots. I plant the root crops in rows and mostly broadcast the leafy greens in a small area. I often plant leaf lettuce in rows also. You can also plant onion sets or seeds to grow into young green shoots or until frost before harvesting as sliceable onions. We also like kohlrabi which is hard to find in this area and it is mostly grown

Dear M.O.B.: If only for the sake of your grandchildren, you should attend the wedding and make No. 3 as welcome as you can for as long as he lasts – which, with your daughter’s track record, isn’t likely to be long. She appears to be emotionally unstable. The children need a constant in their lives, so put aside your disapproval and provide them with as much emotional support as you can. You can’t “fix” your daughter – only she can do

Dear Teen Sitter: By all means talk to her. It will be a good experience in learning to stand up for yourself – a lesson you had better learn quickly, because from where I sit it appears your sister is taking advantage of you. Responsible child supervision costs a lot more than $20 a week, and you should not have to wonder when your sister leaves for work whether you’ll see her again before the next day.

Dear Abby: I have two granddaughters. The older one is 11, and the younger one is 18 months. I know that when the time comes for sweet 16, graduations and, most of all, weddings, I won’t be here to celebrate with them. I would give anything to be able to leave them something that would let them know they were always in my heart and mind. Have you anything special to recommend? – Always In My Heart Dear Always: Being able to see you and hear your voice would be a wonderful gift. How about having videos made to be given to your granddaughters when they are 16, about to graduate and planning to be married? I’m sure you would have different thoughts to convey to them as they reach each of these significant milestones in their lives. If that would be too costly, then write letters to be given to them on those occasions. And if you have the means, include a keepsake gift – perhaps a piece of jewelry that belonged to you.

Dear Abby: I am 15, and I have been helping my older sister watch her two kids since her boyfriend left her five months ago. She has been paying me $20 a week to watch them six hours a day while she works. I was fine with this arrangement until recently, when she began relying on me completely for baby-sitting. Now she expects me to watch them every time she goes shopping or out with her current boyfriend. She has begun spending the night at his house and not calling to let me know I need to take care of the kids when they wake up. I know something needs to change. Am I being selfish, or should I confront her? Please help me. – Teen Sitter in Abilene

couple of inches high, you can provide some extra nutrition by watering them with a soluble fertilizer application. Then stand back and watch them grow for harvest to your table for the cool months. Most of the leafy greens and lettuces can be harvested by selectively cutting leaves from each plant and leaving the root intact to continue to grow new leaves so you can harvest over several months.

PET OF THE WEEK

Parents can’t grin, bear daughter’s third marriage ear Abby: My daughter, “Libby,” is about to be married. It’s her third trip to the altar, and her stepfather and I are not in favor of the marriage. After her first marriage – to a wonderful man – she had an affair with a married man who became husband No. 2. Within five years, she began another affair with a married neighbor. They are both now divorced and plan to be married later this year in a big church wedding. My husband and I do not want to attend, but Libby has threatened to prevent us from seeing the grandkids if we don’t accept husband No. 3 into our family. How should we handle this? Should we go to the wedding even though we’re adamantly opposed to it? It’s obvious to us that our daughter needs professional help, which she seeks only when she begins a new affair. But we can’t seem to impress upon her the importance of taking some time off before remarrying for the wrong reasons. – Mother Of The Bride – Again

If you start in mid August with your autumn garden you have enough time to plant quick bearing crops like green beans, yellow squash, zucchini and cucumbers. It is always good to have a row of Cilantro (Coriander) for fresh salsa and a couple of parsley and basil plants for mixing into salads and dressing up dinners on cool early winter nights. If you like annual herbs such as dill or anise, you can grow those as well. Perennial herbs such as thyme and sage will grow nicely to produce some leafy harvests for your winter meals.

lage, including the oldest house in the village, built in 1790, at the corner of Main and River streets. The town was also home to the family of Edward Clark, who ran the company that sold Singer sewing machines when they were first invented in the mid-1800s. The Otesaga Resort Hotel, celebrating its centennial this year, was built by one of Clark’s grandsons. Another Clark descendant, Stephen C. Clark Sr., was instrumental in establishing the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. Cooperstown is located about 60 miles west of Albany.

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

The members of my club have varied occupations. A quality-control officer for a large company says you can always recognize a true expert: He’s the one who predicts a project will take the longest and cost the most. A bridge expert is a natural pessimist who plans for bad breaks. In today’s deal, South had seven top tricks at 3NT. The spades might produce more in time, but South judged to try for two extra diamonds. He’d have no problem if the suit broke 3-2, but what if West held four?

SAFETY PLAY South would fail if West had Q-10-9-6, but a safety play was available if East had the bare nine or ten. So South took the ace of hearts and led a diamond: ten, ace, five. He next led the eight, and when West played low, dummy played low. If East could have won, South would have had four diamonds, three hearts and two clubs. When East discarded, South cashed the king of diamonds, led a club to his hand and conceded a diamond to set up nine tricks.

ANSWER: Partner’s unexpected second bid improves your hand mightily. A raise to three clubs won’t do it justice.

Your numbers are 7, 13, 19, 24, 31, 40, 47 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don’t mistake what’s being offered. You will end up paying for whatever you get, regardless. Someone’s inappropriate remarks must be dismissed without retaliation. Look at the big picture. ★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Believe and trust in yourself, not someone who doesn’t really have a clue what’s going on in your world. You can deal with any problems you face and turn things around without a whole lot of hassle. Rely on your past experience. ★★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t let trivial matters slow you down or hold you back. Put your unique ideas to the test without worrying about what others think. Bypass anyone who is negative and critical. Jealousy could be the reason for any opposition you face. ★★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): It’s time to stop procrastinating and make a decision. Once you set your mind on what needs to be done, you will easily transport your dreams into reality. A change at work will improve your status and your personal life. ★★★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): If you are too secretive or do things unexpectedly, you are likely to arouse suspicion. The more accommodating you are, the more help you will receive. A love relationship will be enriched by the way you handle a situation. ★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You have to shake yourself off and rethink your recourse before you make a mistake. Someone may try to take advantage of your talent but, if you are quick to attach a price tag, you will bypass any misunderstanding. ★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don’t make a presentation until you are fully prepared. If you do a little extra, you will have no trouble getting what you want and more. There will be plenty to celebrate along with the chance to do something nice for someone you love. ★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Stop pushing yourself so hard and take a break. A short trip or taking in some lively entertainment or activity will give you a new outlook. Avoid taking on too much or you will fall short of your goals. ★★★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You cannot have it both ways. Either deal with the emotional issues that are slowing you down or learn to live with them. If you don’t take action, you will not have the right to complain. ★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Someone you love will cost you if you don’t put a cap on spending or plans that are being laid out. Added responsibilities due to someone’s incapability may bog you down but eventually you will benefit financially, emotionally and personally. ★★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You can improve your life and your money-making ability by engaging in something you enjoy doing and offering this service to others for a fee. Your unusual approach to the way you do things will allow you to stay ahead of any competition. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Discuss matters instead of stewing about them. A solution can be found that will please everyone involved if you dissect the problem and address everyone’s needs. Put into play the modifications necessary to appease everyone. ★★★ 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.

Professor may face jail if weatherman harassed

BURBANK, Calif. (AP) – Authorities say a college professor on a crusade to change the way a Los Angeles weatherman uses terminology has to leave him alone or face six months in jail. Melanie Patton Renfrew, a Harbor College teacher, wants KNBC-TV’s Fritz Coleman to change refer-

ences to onshore and offshore winds. She says the terms are confusing because people don’t know which are coming and which are going. Burbank-based KNBC obtained a restraining order in March 2008 after calling her behavior bizarre and saying Coleman

feared for his safety. Prosecutors say she continued sending letters and e-mails. Last month, she pleaded no contest to violating the order. Burbank Assistant City Attorney Denny Wei says the case will be dismissed if she leaves Coleman alone through next August.

extremely irritating. I have been walking the way I walk since I was an infant. Is there really a special way to do so? – R.C.

Most people develop a walk natural for them, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Some general pointers about the proper walking style are worth incorporating into your walking pattern. Keep your head erect with eyes focused about 20 feet in front of you. Your arms should be bent at the elbow. When the right foot hits the ground, the left arm should be in front of your body, and vice versa when your left foot hits the ground. The heel of the foot should strike the ground first, and the liftoff should come from the toes. Older people tend to shorten their walking stride in an attempt to keep both feet always on the ground. This gives them more balance and stability. They should try to take a little longer stride and use their arms for balance and stability as I described above.

Red Raiders whip Whirlies BY DANIEL KENNEDY SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

GREENSBORO – Both coaches and players from T. Wingate Andrews acknowledged the dire circumstances. Friday night, the Red Raiders went out and did something about it. Having lost both of its first two games of the season, Andrews got a much-needed win at Grimsley, topping the Whirlies 14-6. “We were 0-2 and we had to pick our team up,” said Quan Stevenson, who scored both Raider touchdowns. “We’re a strong team and we’ve never been down 0-2 before. Coach just told me I had to make plays and I saw the light.” Stevenson spotted daylight on the opening kickoff of the second half and reeled off an 86-yard return to put Andrews ahead 14-0. His second-quarter 1-yard touchdown run marked the only other score for the Raiders, but the two plays proved to be enough thanks to a strong defensive showing.

LEXINGTON – For three quarters, High Point Central couldn’t get Lexington’s defense to bend. But in the fourth quarter, the Bison broke the Jackets. Al-DaQuan Teasley’s 54-yard touchdown run broke open a 10-7 game with just more than 10 minutes left to play, and Central tacked on two more scores for good measure in a 31-7 nonconference win at Philpott Stadium on Friday night. Until Teasley’s touchdown, Austin Miller’s 35-yard field goal was the difference in what had been a defensive struggle. “That run was tremendous,” Central coach Wayne Jones said. “They pack it in real tight inside, they know we like to run an inside zone. That made it dif-

Grimsley’s LaShawn Brown gashed Andrews’ bend-but-don’t-break defense for 125 yards on 24 carries, but the Whirlies were unable to make plays in the red zone to cash in. “They ran the ball pretty decent,” Raiders coach Rodney McKoy said. “Once we got down inside the 20-yard line, we did a good job of pinning our ears back and stuffing them on defense.” The Red Raider defense, led by a tenacious pass rush, exploited holes in Grimsley’s offensive line and put enormous pressure on the Whirlies behind the line of scrimmage. By virtue of its aggressiveness, Andrews was able to withstand an effective Grimsley running game and force three turnovers in the first half and keep its opponent off the scoreboard until the fourth quarter.

Southwest Guilford and Ledford battled under the full moon on Friday night.

Cowboys top Ledford, start 3-0 BY STEVE HANF ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

HIGH POINT – In a game marred by unending miscues by both offenses, it figured that touchdowns by a defensive player and offensive lineman would turn the tide Friday night. Southwest Guilford’s Greg Bridges picked off a pass and returned it 40 yards to the end zone to help the Cowboys take a 7-0 halftime lead against Ledford, and Anson Robinson pounced on a fumble in the end zone for the clinching score of a 28-13 Cowboys’ victory. The win, which came courtesy of 260 yards rushing, gave Southwest a 3-0 start for the first time since 1997. “We’ve preached defense and running the football since late December,” Cowboys coach Scott Schwarzer said. “We got away from it in the first half, probably threw a couple of passes we shouldn’t have thrown, but we’re going to run the football. The offensive line, what a job by those guys, and defensively, we’re playing great – it’s just a testament to this whole team.” The biggest play of the first half came as the teams combined for nine fumbles – just two lost – and four interceptions in the opening two quarters. Bridges stepped in front of a Steven Fuquay pass to the right sideline, made a clean pick and raced through traffic all the way to the end zone. Tanner Butler’s PAT made it 7-0. The Cowboys embarked on an impres-

sive 13-play, 81-yard drive to open the third quarter, putting Ledford in a 14-0 hole after Airyn Willis scored from 3 yards out. Despite three interceptions, the early fumble and plenty of penalties, Ledford rallied thanks to a roughing-the-kicker penalty on a punt. De Greene raced 23 yards for a first down and Jonathan Reid then took his second carry of the night 19 yards for a touchdown, with Fuquay’s PAT making it 14-7 with 3:52 still left in the third quarter. The Panthers tried to pull even. Following a Southwest punt, Ledford moved the ball to the Cowboys’ 40 before Fuquay was forced to throw off his back foot and got picked by Ray Bridges. Southwest responded with a 10-play drive that ended with J.J. Garrison fumbling into the end zone and Robinson falling on it. Following Butler’s third PAT, it was 21-7 with 6:45 to go. Ledford would score again on a 17-play, 68-yard drive, with Fuquay hitting Reid from 4 yards out, but the PAT was blocked and Southwest recovered the onsides kick to hold on with 2:19 to play. Southwest capped scoring with Willis’ 51-yard run – giving him 184 yards on 28 carries overall – against a tired defense moments later. shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526 Ledford SW Guilford

HIT AND RUN

umor has it that sportswriters used to be a dashing group, dressed to the nines in suits and their fedoras. Like the rest of society, we’ve toned it down a bit. Many of us still wear ties – although I like to hold out as often as possible – and really, how silly would we look walking into a high school or college gym nowadays in a three-piece suit? Sad to say, some two dozen sportswriters from across the state were sent to the backs of their closets on Wednesday. The suits came out and the stoic-as-possible expressions went on as a huge crowd of mourners from all walks of life paid tribute to Tom Berry at his memorial service. Some of the photos shown on the big screen made us chuckle, such as the “proud new dad” T-shirt being worn for the birth of his oldest daughter. Others of the longtime Enterprise sports columnist were met with knowing nods: a younger Tom seated,

ficult for us to run, and they’ve got two big 300pounders inside.” Fortunately for the Bison (2-1), their defense was just as stingy. Central took a 10-0 lead early in the second quarter on the strength of Drew Adams’ 21-yard strike to Derek Grant and Miller’s field goal. A long Lexington drive made it 10-7 just before the half. Lexington threatened to tie things up at the end of the third, but Matt Jackson’s 30yard field-goal attempt sailed wide to the left. Safety Evan Aguilar came up with two big interceptions for the Bison defense.

cradling another baby girl – and as the photo panned out to full screen, there sat his laptop computer, another story in the works. Not included in the slideshow were the thousands of snapshots of Tom that each person in attendance carried inside his or her head. Many of those played out during the service, which included a number of moving tributes from writers, family members and folks from the Berrys’ church, Lawndale Baptist. There were several laughs – Tom’s strong faith allowed for his funeral to be a “celebration of life” – and a lot more tears and sniffles and clearing throats. And then it was over. The writers from places such as Burlington and WinstonSalem and Salisbury and Greensboro and Wilson and USAToday were left to talk of deadlines and stories to cover. Representatives from High Point University and the ACC returned to their offices. After celebrating Tom’s life and mourning

his death on Wednesday, life went on for everyone else. It’s a sad feeling and a positive one all at once, a conflict between wanting to stay lost in the memories of the past yet knowing that time helps – however slowly – heal the wounds. Many of you have written kind words in the past week regarding memories of Tom and asking of ways to help. In support of his wife Sandy and daughters Ashlyn, Rachel and Leah, The High Point Enterprise has established a fund – the Tom Berry Special Fund – at High Point Bank to assist the Berry family with medical bills and college funds. Contributions may be made to the Tom Berry Special Fund and mailed to High Point Bank, P.O. Box 2270, High Point, N.C. 27261. Contributions also can be brought to any High Point Bank branch.

Wake looks to ground Griffin, Baylor BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

WINSTON-SALEM â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Trying to stop a quarterback who is also an All-America hurdler and is a decent passer is something that Wake Forest senior defensive tackle John Russell likens to a toothache. But, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the challenge that Baylor sophomore Robert Griffin III, who finished third in the 400-meter hurdles at the NCAA outdoor track championships, poses for the Demon Deacons in the season opener for both teams today at BB&T Field (3 p.m. WXLV, Ch. 45). â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to a pain,â&#x20AC;? Russell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You just wish he would slow down. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so fast. He covers 10 yards as fast as anyone, and it is so effortless.â&#x20AC;? Wake knows from experience how

much of a pain Griffin can be. In the opener for both teams last year, he changed the whole tenor of the game that was the first for Robert Miles as the Bearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; head coach. After the Deacons raced to a 17-0 lead by the early stages of the second quarter, Miles pulled starter Kirby Freeman in favor of Griffin for the Bearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fourth possession of the game. He made the Bears competitive the rest of the way as Wake prevailed 41-13 in Waco. That was just the beginning for Griffin as handled the Bearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; quarterbacking chores for the remainder of the season, becoming the youngest starting quarterback in the Football Championship Subdivision at age 18. He finished the season with 2,091 yards passing and a net of 843 rushing, ran for 13 touchdowns (the second most in school history in a season)

and passed for 15 more as Baylor wound up 4-8 and 2-6 in the Big 12. Griffin passed for 125 yards and ran for a net of 29 against Wake, but his doublethreat ability kept a Wake defense that featured NFL draft picks Aaron Curry and Alphonso Smith off balance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are times heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to get his big plays in,â&#x20AC;? Russell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just that kind of quarterback. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got just to try to contain him. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to stop him. We couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t with the players we had last year. He just reeled off some highlight-reel plays. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just tackling and wrapping him up is going to be a problem. You can get him up square, but he can stick and move with the best of them. If he has open field, it could be a big problem.â&#x20AC;? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the only problem. The Bears return nine starters on offense and eight

on defense wile Wake lost all of its starting linebackers and three of four members in the secondary. Russell agreed with coach Jim Grobe that the Bears are better than the team that Wake faced last year. In three of the last four games of the 2008, Baylor lost 31-28 to No. 5 Missouri, buried Texas A&M 41-21 and narrowly lost to No. 7 Texas Tech 35-28. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think there is any question they are better,â&#x20AC;? Grobe said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They had a little learning curve the first part of the year. But if you look at them in the first half of the season and the second half of the season, there was a marked difference. Once the quarterback settled in and they got used to the offense, the played everyone really tough.â&#x20AC;? gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Mountaineers, Pirates set to clash APPALACHIAN STATE AT EAST CAROLINA

---

When: Today, noon Line: No line. Series record: Appalachian State leads 19-10. Last meeting: 1979, East Carolina 38-21. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at stake: East Carolina knows this is the â&#x20AC;&#x153;easiestâ&#x20AC;? nonconference game it will have all year, so any hopes of making a name for itself nationally for a second straight year begins with the No. 1 ranked team in the Championship Subdivision. Not to mention it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t long ago that the Mountaineers won three straight national titles and upset Michigan. Key matchup: Appalachian State QB DeAndre Presley vs. East Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s front seven: Presley gets the unenviable position of starting in place of Armanti Edwards, who looks unlikely to play after injuring his right foot in a lawnmower accident last month. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll face a Pirates defense that has six seniors in its front seven and ranked among the best in offense-focused Conference USA last year. Players to watch: Appalachian State: WR Coco Hillary was the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading returning receiver had five touchdowns last season. He been able to work with Presley through preseason drills to get their timing together. East Carolina: QB Patrick Pinkney is back for an NCAAgranted sixth season. His play will be key for an offense that needs to improve from last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s often-pedestrian performances.

THE CITADEL AT (21) NORTH CAROLINA

---

When: Today Time: 3:30 p.m., WXLV, Ch. 45 (ABC) Line: Wake Forest by 2. Series record: Baylor leads 4-1. Last meeting: 2008, Wake Forest 41-13. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at stake: Baylor is looking to go to a bowl game for the first time in 15 years, which matches the longest postseason drought among BCS teams. With a brutal Big 12 schedule in front of them, the Bears need to get off to a good start and win their non-conference games. The Deacons get their first look at their reconstructed defense after losing nine starters to graduation or the NFL draft. Key matchup: The quarterbacks: Robert Griffin vs. Riley Skinner. Young playmaker Griffin accounted for 28 touchdowns (15 passing, 13 rushing) in a sensational freshman season in which the only game he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t start was the opener vs. Wake Forest. Skinner is the proven senior, already Wakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s winningest starting quarterback. Players to watch: Baylor: LB Joe Pawelek, who is the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading active career tackler (313). RB Jay Finley ran for a teamhigh 865 yards with seven touchdowns last season, often overlooked because of Griffin. Wake Forest: CB Brandon Ghee, the only returning defensive starter not on the line.

RICHMOND AT DUKE

---

When: Today, 7 p.m. Line: No line. Series record: Duke leads 9-2. Last Meeting: 2006, Richmond 13-0. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at stake: Duke is looking to take the first step toward its first bowl appearance since 1994, and is seeking a measure of revenge against a Richmond team that gave the current Blue Devils seniors a humiliating start to their college careers: a 13-0 loss in the first game of the 2006 season. The Spiders are out to defend their Football Championship Subdivision title, and have 18 starters back from that team. Key matchup: Duke QB Thaddeus Lewis vs. Richmondâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s secondary: Lewis is back for his fourth season as Dukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s starter, and hopes another offseason with quarterback guru David Cutcliffe pays off. But heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s without his favorite target from last year, graduated WR Eron Riley, and will need other playmakers to get open against a stingy Spiders secondary. Players to watch: Richmond: DB Justin Rogers returned two of his seven interceptions last season for touchdowns, and returned a fumble for another score during the Spidersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; championship season. Duke: RB Reâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Quan Boyette is healthy after missing last season with a knee injury, and is being counted upon to give the Blue Devilsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; offense some balance and take some pressure off Lewis.

When: Today, 6:05 p.m. Line: No line. Series record: North Carolina leads 3-0. Last meeting: 1986, North Carolina, 4514. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at stake: North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first preseason ranking since 1998. A loss to a Championship Subdivision team would be catastrophic for a program looking to take another step forward in coach Butch Davisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; third season in Chapel Hill. A reasonable goal for The Citadel, which finished seventh last season in the Southern Conference, might be to simply keep things more competitive than it did in last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finale â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a 70-19 loss at eventual national champion Florida. Key matchup: North Carolina WR Greg Little vs. The Citadelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s secondary. The Tar Heelsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; top priority this offseason was replacing their top three receivers from last season â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Hakeem Nicks, Brooks Foster and Brandon Tate â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and if Little struggles to get open against a Citadel defense that last year was ranked in the bottom third of the SoCon, it could be a long year for QB T.J. Yates and the offense. Players to watch: The Citadel: TE B.J. Phillips returns to Kenan Stadium after transferring from North Carolina last season, and WR Andre Roberts led the SoWhen: Today, 6 p.m. Con with 95 catches, 1,334 yards and 14 Line: Clemson by 181â &#x201E;2. touchdowns last season.

Spiller vs. Middle Tennesseeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defensive front. Spiller is one of the most dynamic runners in college. But if Blue Raiders like tackle Brandon Perry can bottle up Spiller, it would force the Tigers to rely on firsttime quarterback starter Kyle Parker to make plays. Players to watch: Middle Tennessee: QB Dwight Dasher and RB Phillip Tanner. Dasher split time at the position as a sophomore after a stellar freshman season. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gained the starting job and is seeking another forward step. Tanner rushed for 714 yards and 15 TDs. Clemson: RB C.J. Spiller and QB Kyle Parker. Spiller should be the engine that makes the Tigers offense go. However, the senior has never been the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s featured back, and some wonder if the 5-11 tailback can hold up. Parker, an all-ACC performer in baseball for Clemson, has never thrown a pass in college. He won the job over fan favorite Will Korn during the preseason.

That game in Maryland started at 9 a.m. PDT. The Terrapins will have the adjustment this season, with a 10 p.m. EDT start in Berkeley.

Wujciak was second in the ACC with 133 tackles last season but will have his hands full with Best, who averaged 8.1 yards per carry, most in the nation.

Dirt-bike injury sidelines Elliott BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

The driver switching and freak injuries continue in advance of Sunday night’s Cup race at Atlanta Motor Speedway, where qualifying is scheduled today at 4 p.m. (Speed). Bill Elliott is the latest to go down and will be replaced in the Wood Brothers No. 21 by David Gilliland. A Wood Brothers release said Elliott had a back injury but RacingToday.com quoted Elliott as saying that he cracked three ribs in a dirt-bike accident. Elliott said he could have driven if no replacement was available. Car owner Eddie Wood said the team went ahead and made the switch because of the Atlanta’s tight two-day schedule. “Given the modified practice schedule where the practices and qualifying are all being done on Saturday, we didn’t feel there was enough time to make changes to the seat if Bill wasn’t

Panthers hope ugly preseason doesn’t carry over to opener

CHARLOTTE (AP) – The Carolina Panthers can only hope the preseason really doesn’t mean anything. If all the missed tackles, fumbles, injuries, mistakes, and depth issues carry over to the real games, there will be a new NFC South champion in 2009. “It’s nothing to worry about, you know, 0-4,” safety Chris Harris insisted minutes after Carolina closed a winless exhibition slate Thursday with a 21-10 loss to Pittsburgh. “The Lions went 4-0 in the preseason and went 0-16 (last year), so you can’t read into the preseason too much. When it starts counting is when it will matter.” Harris, one of five Panthers to miss tackles on rookie running back Isaac Redman’s 10-yard touchdown Thursday, was part of a locker room trying to emphasize the positive. Coach John Fox even claimed the defensive performance was better than a week earlier when Carolina fell flat against Baltimore. “Our first team didn’t get a whole lot of opportunities,” he said. The first team actually played a series longer than the Steelers starting offense – and allowed Pittsburgh’s backups to score. Carolina’s offense managed one first down on seven plays and finished the practice games with one touchdown in about seven quarters of work. But as Fox and the coaching staff prepare to trim 22 players from the roster by Saturday afternoon, there is hope the Panthers will finally be healthy when Philadelphia arrives for the season opener Sept. 13. Middle linebacker Jon Beason, the Panthers’ top tackler in each of the past

two seasons and the leader of the defense, is confident he’ll return from his sprained medial collateral ligament in his left knee. Beason, out since Aug. 22, indicated he’ll start running this weekend and plans to practice next week. “I wasn’t supposed to be playing,” Beason said, defiantly. The Panthers need some of that attitude on a defense still stinging from the loss of top run-stuffer Maake Kemoeatu, out for the season with a torn Achilles’ tendon. Newly acquired defensive tackle Louis Leonard played some Thursday and could become the replacement starter, although much-maligned Nick Hayden did have a tackle for a loss and a shared sack. Safety Charles Godfrey also hopes to play against the Eagles with a cast on his broken left hand, but it could make it difficult to tackle – Carolina’s glaring weakness in the games that don’t count. “It’s one thing we’re correcting,” Harris said. The offense was supposed to be the strong point after it carried Carolina to a 12-4 mark last season. But DeAngelo Williams’ tackle-breaking 25-yard run against Miami was the only touchdown for the first-teamers. Receiver Steve Smith missed a couple of games and the Panthers threw to him little when he played, perhaps to shield him from injury. Williams’ backfield partner, Jonathan Stewart, is the biggest puzzle. The team has had 48 practices since the first April minicamp. Stewart has participated in eight of them – and none since Aug. 10 – with an undefined Achilles’ tendon injury.

Favre fined $10,000 for crack-back block

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre was fined $10,000 by the NFL on Friday for his crackback block on Houston defensive back Eugene Wilson in a preseason game. The play happened on Monday night at Houston in Favre’s first extensive action since he signed with the Vikings on Aug. 18. The 39-year-old lined up

at receiver in Minnesota’s version of the wildcat offense. Rookie receiver Percy Harvin took the snap and started running around the left end in Favre’s direction. Despite playing with sore ribs, the quarterback crouched and threw his body at Wilson’s legs to cut him down. The game was televised nationally and the block caused an uproar in Hous-

ton and elsewhere around the league. Wilson injured his knee on the play and defensive players have long considered that type of block a dirty play. Favre had only been practicing for 14 days since ending his second retirement to join the Vikings. He said he wasn’t trying to injure Wilson and was only trying to help Harvin on the run.

Oregon suspends Blount for season

EUGENE, Ore. (AP) – Star running back LeGarrette Blount won’t play for Oregon again this year. The school suspended him on Friday for the remainder of season after he slugged Boise State defensive end Byron Hout. Blount threw the punch Thursday night following the 16th-ranked Ducks’ 19-8 loss to No. 14 Boise State. As Boise State began celebrating on their famous blue turf, Hout yelled in

Blount’s face and tapped him on the shoulder pad. Before Broncos head coach Chris Petersen could pull Hout away, Blount landed a right to Hout’s jaw, knocking him to his knees. Blount also had to be restrained by police officers from fans heckling him on the way to the locker room. Blount’s suspension includes any bowl games. He will remain on scholarship, however, and will continue to practice with the team.

the Tar Heels’ 2005 and 2009 national championship teams. Still, the crowd reserved its biggest cheers for a pair of big names: Michael Jordan and retired Hall of Fame coach Dean Smith. At halftime, the program unveiled the banner commemorating last season’s national title, the program’s second in the past five seasons and fifth NCAA championship overall.

NORTON, Mass. – Steve Stricker and Jim Furyk carded firstround 63s on Friday at the TPC Boston. They were two shots clear of a group that included Masters champion Angel Cabrera, Justin Leonard, Retief Goosen and Scott Verplank. Tiger Woods opened with a 70.

THOMASVILLE – Anything and everything that could go wrong for the Thomasville Bulldogs did Friday night at Cushwa Stadium against the Kannapolis A.L. Brown Wonders. Leading by two touchdowns, Thomasville’s defense failed to stop Kannapolis when it mattered most, resulting in a 34-28 loss, the Bulldogs’ second setback in a row. “We stopped them in the first half, but we couldn’t in the second,” coach Allen Brown said. “We appreciate their effort, but you don’t get anything for trying. We’ve got to get better. We can’t keep giving up this many points. You can’t give up over 30 points and win the game.” Unlike last week’s loss to Mount Airy, THS was in control of this one. The Bulldogs had the ball near midfield up 28-21 late in the third quarter, but a poor handoff led to a fumble, giving the Wonders possession. The game was tied four plays later on a 3-yard run from Travis Riley. “I’m going to take it as my fault,” said THS quarterback Sam Nelson. “I

just didn’t get the ball in my hands and take it.” Thomasville would gain only one first down in the fourth quarter, and Kannapolis eventually scored on Riley’s third touchdown of the game with 46 seconds to go. Brandon Lucas made some noise in the waning seconds only to fumble fighting for extra yards at the Wonders’ 30-yard line. Early on, what Dee Dow did for the Bulldogs on defense, Quin Riley did on offense. Dow, in a 14-7 game with 1:41 left before halftime, intercepted Martel Campbell and raced 41 yards for the score. After the Wonders scored with 14 seconds left in the second quarter, Riley took a seemingly innocent handoff and exploded through the Kannapolis defense 57 yards to paydirt as time expired, shifting momentum back to THS. “It’s a tough loss,” Nelson said. “Going into halftime I felt we had it. I thought we were playing well and if we kept it up we would pull it out. It didn’t work out that way. We definitely played well, but this is the second close game we’ve had.” Thomasville (1-2) hosts Albemarle next Friday night.

Black Knights spear Golden Eagles BY ZACH KEPLEY THOMASVILLE TIMES

THOMASVILLE – Rarely does a team commit 130 yards worth of penalties and still win, but that is how things turned out for North Davidson in a 35-3 rout of East Davidson on Friday. Despite the incredible amount of penalty yards, the Black Knights held East to 126 yards of total offense and were able to outrun the Eagles on offense all night. Running back Ryan Morgan scored three touchdowns and ran for 115 yards to lead the effort. Through all of that, East actually led 3-0 early. East mounted its lone scoring drive on the first possession of the game in unusual fashion. The two teams combined for 60 penalty yards over the course of the drive that started on the 20 of the Eagles. When the yellow flags stopped flying, East had moved the ball to the North 20, where the drive stalled and Taylor Warren booted home a 37yard field goal. The East defense forced a three-andout immediately and was going to get field position around the 50. Dylan Hutchins muffed the punt, though, as the ball fell to the deck and the Black Knights recovered at the East 43. Six plays later, Morgan carried the ball over the right side from 24 yards out, pushing the visitors ahead 7-3. “We came out and did some good things on that first drive to keep everybody’s hopes up,” said East coach Bryan Lingerfelt. “Then we played great on defense, but we had the turnover and it started snowballing after that.”

North quarterback Brennen Dodd was too quick for the Eagle defense all night, dancing around defenders for large chunks of yards. His arm got him in trouble at times, though, as he was picked off in the end zone by Justin Mounts on the next drive. Breathing a sigh of relief, East was poised to turn the turnover into something positive, but gave it right back only two plays later on a fumble by Malcolm Wimmer. North recovered on the East 23 and Morgan converted his second tally of the night on a run up the gut. East netted negative yardage on its next drive and was pinned deep in its own territory. Following the punt by Mounts, North worked quickly going the 31 yards in one play, as Tevin Tuttle took the end around to the house for a 21-3 score. On the first play from scrimmage of the second half, North’s Morgan completed the hat trick, blasting through the hole for a 63-yard jaunt. North tacked on one more to completely ground the Eagles. “We will lick our wounds and try to grow up from this,” Lingerfelt said. “Hopefully, we can come out here with a good attitude on Monday.” East’s Dylan Gallimore bulled to 106 rushing yards on 25 attempts.

Okiomahs spark HPU soccer past JMU ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORTS

HARRISONBURG, Va. - Fejiro Okiomah scored the game-winner in the 54th minute to lift High Point University to a 2-1 victory over Richmond on Friday at James Madison University. Kara Okiomah scored High Point’s first goal in the 27th minute on a header from 10 yards out off a cross from Matt Turtle. That lead held until Ben Brewster put in Richmond’s goal just 1:58 into the second half. HPU (2-0) held a slim 12-10 advantage in shots. High Point concludes play in the JMU/Comfort Inn Harrisonburg Invitational on Sunday against Rider.

HPU WOMEN LOSE 2-0 HIGH POINT – The University of High Point women’s soccer team managed a season-high five shots on goal but was unable to find the back of the net as the team fell to the College of Charleston, 2-0, in Vert Stadium Friday night. Senior goalkeeper Marisa Abbott added five more saves to her Big South leading total in the loss. The Panthers return to Vert Stadium for their second game of the High Point University Invitational on Sunday at 3:30 p.m. when they take on regional-rival Elon University. Elon lost to Temple 1-0 in the opening game earlier on Friday.

HPU MEN POST CROSS COUNTRY WIN WINSTON-SALEM – High Point University won the team title and the tandem of Anthony Berkis and Josh Morgan was the relay winner at the Wake Forest Relays on Friday night. High Point University had the top four collegiate relay teams at the meet.

“We were very pleased with our guys’ performances tonight,” said head coach Mike Esposito. “Our upperclassmen ran well and our freshmen ran very well, particularly Stuart Edmonds, Dakota Peachee and Jacob Smith.” Jesse Cherry, a fifth-year senior at HPU, ran unattached and had the best individual time of the evening, coming in at 21:54 for the course. Cherry is out of cross country eligibility, but will run for HPU in indoor and outdoor track & field. Berkis was the top collegiate finisher in 22:28 and Morgan was the seventh overall finisher at 23:00. Their combined time of 45:28 gave them the relay title. HPU sophomore Neal Darmody was the third individual in 22:45 and he teamed up with senior Josh Cashman (11th in 23:23) to combine for 46:08, the No. 2 relay time of the night. The tandem of Peachee (23:17) and junior Jevin Monds (22:53) took third and freshmen Edmonds (23:02) and Smith (23:12) came in fourth. As a team, HPU posted a perfect score of six, followed by Wake Forest (18) and UNC Greensboro (34). The High Point University women’s cross country team placed third behind Wake Forest and UNC Greensboro. In the two-runner relay format, seniors Geneva Winterink and Joya Canfield were the Panthers’ best in a combined 38:00. Canfield had HPU’s top individual time in 18:58 followed by Winterink at 19:08. Their combined time of 38:00 was sixth overall behind four relay tandems from Wake Forest and one from UNC Greensboro.

Judge recuses himself from Chevron case

QUITO, Ecuador – The Ecuadorean judge presiding over a $27 billion environmental lawsuit against Chevron has recused himself. Judge Juan Nunez says he is stepping down to guarantee the trial’s transparency amid an investigation into allegations of wrongdoing on his part. Earlier this week, Chevron released a video in which the magistrate allegedly told a businessmen he had already made up his mind to rule against the company. He has denied allegations of misconduct made by the San Ramon, California-based company and told The Associated Press on Friday that the tapes were “edited and manipulated.”

Unemployment hits 9.7 percent WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. unemployment rate climbed last month to 9.7 percent — the highest in nearly a generation — but the number of job losses was less than expected and the smallest monthly total in a year. “It’s good to see the rate of job losses slow down,” said Nigel Gault, chief U.S. economist at IHS Global Insight. But with unemployment rising, “there isn’t the underlying fuel there for strong consumer spending

growth,” which is vital for a strong recovery. Employers shed 216,000 jobs in August, the Labor Department said Friday. That was 9,000 fewer than expected but a far cry from the job creation required to rejuvenate the economy: about 125,000 new jobs each month just to keep the unemployment rate from increasing. The unemployment rate rose three-tenths of a percentage point since July, reaching its highest

level since 1983, when it was 10.1 percent. Economists predict that the jobless rate will peak above 10 percent by the middle of next year. At the same time, many analysts say the economy should grow by a healthy 3 to 4 percent in the third quarter, pulling the United States out of the longest recession since World War II. Most of that improvement, though, stems from auto companies and other manufacturers refilling

their depleted stockpiles. Those inventories had plummeted as factories and retailers sought to bring goods more in line with reduced sales during the recession. Without stepped-up demand from consumers, any current economy growth might not last. The Obama administration’s $787 billion stimulus package of tax cuts and increased spending contributed to the improvement, along with the popular Cash for

Clunkers program. The clunkers program provided up to $4,500 in rebates to consumers who traded in old gas-guzzlers for newer models. An $8,000 tax credit for first-time home buyers has also helped boost housing sales and stabilize prices, after years of declines. Yet economists worry that none of that will be enough to sustain an economic recovery once the government’s efforts fade.

Conn. offers incentives to keep Pratt jobs

HARTFORD, Conn. – Connecticut Gov. M. Jodi Rell offered $100 million worth of incentives Thursday to jet engine maker Pratt & Whitney to prevent the possible loss of about 1,000 jobs. The five-year plan includes lifting a cap on tax credits for parent corporation United Technologies Corp., providing training assistance, and establishing a job retention tax credit. It also includes investments in machinery and equipment and the building of an Engineering Center for Excellence for engineers at Pratt & Whitney and other aerospace companies.

Treasury prices fall as stocks move higher

NEW YORK – Treasury prices fell for a second straight day Friday as buying picked up on Wall Street after a mixed report on the labor market. Stock prices moved higher in afternoon trading, putting pressure on bonds, after the Labor Department said job losses slowed last month to their lowest level in a year. However, the unemployment rate increased to 9.7 percent, more than the 9.5 percent rate the market anticipated and the highest since June 1983. The Treasury will offer $20 billion of 10-year notes and $12 billion of $30-year bonds, slightly more than the market anticipated. The government will also issue $38 billion of 3-year notes.

ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

FILE | AP

American Airlines MD-80 planes are seen parked at Washington’s Reagan National Airport. Federal regulators said Friday they are investigating American Airlines over structural repairs to its aging fleet of MD-80 series aircraft.

FAA probes American Airlines repairs DALLAS (AP) — Federal regulators are investigating American Airlines over structural repairs to its aging fleet of MD-80 series aircraft. A Federal Aviation Administration official said Friday that the investigation centered on 16 planes. The Wall Street Journal reported FAA officials suspect American rushed to retire one of the planes to keep it away from inspectors.

A spokesman for American denied the accusation and said mothballing the aircraft wouldn’t let it escape FAA scrutiny. “We retired the plane for economic reasons, tied to our decision several months ago to reduce capacity,” spokesman Roger Frizzell told The Associated Press. “Any other assertion is incorrect and misleading.” FAA spokesman Lynn Lunsford declined to say whether inspectors believed the airline had

tried to hide the plane or whether they had examined it in the New Mexico desert, where it is now parked. He said inspectors examined “a number of planes” during an investigation that dates back at least to March. Lunsford said the investigation centered on repairs to the rear bulkhead of the MD-80 series aircraft. As of May, American had 270 MD-80 series jets, or 44 percent of its fleet, according to the company’s Web site.

Fort Worth-based American, a unit of AMR Corp., is slowly replacing the MD-80s with new, more fuel-efficient planes while it reduces capacity, or the number of flights, to deal with a decline in air travel. Airplanes expand and contract as the cabin is pressurized for flight and then depressurized. That can lead to metal fatigue that requires close monitoring and sometimes repairs, especially around the rear bulkhead.

Record fine unlikely to end bogus drug marketing INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Pfizer Inc. was slapped this week with a record $2.3 billion in fines for illegally marketing some drugs, but critics say even that eye-popping total is unlikely to end the sometimes-dangerous practice of promoting drugs for unapproved uses. The penalty pales compared to the billion dollars or more in annual revenue that blockbuster

drugs generate, and new government guidelines stir worry that the marketing of medicines for unapproved uses will become easier. “Drug companies will continue to market offlabel unless the financial downside makes it unprofitable,” said Dr. Adriane Fugh-Berman, a Georgetown University associate medical professor.

Off-label marketing is a tricky issue. Doctors say prescriptions for uses not noted on a drug’s package label — the fine-print insert that comes with the prescription — play a crucial role in treating patients, especially those with deadly illnesses and few treatment options. However, the Food and Drug Administration

prohibits companies from promoting their drugs for uses it has not approved. Huge fines for those caught violating these rules usually just nibble at drug company sales totals. Pfizer’s fine is the largest health care fraud settlement in U.S. Justice Department history.

But that $2.3 billion total stands small compared to the $44.2 billion in pharmaceutical sales the world’s largest drugmaker rang up last year. “$2.3 billion looks like a lot of money,” Fugh-Berman said. “But these are highly profitable drugs. It will not take them very long to make up that deficit.”

Stocks jump as jobs report little hope

-1.8 +1.7

NEW YORK (AP) – Stocks jumped in light trading Friday after the government reported that the pace of job losses slowed in August to the lowest level in a year. The Dow Jones industrial average gained 97 points to halve its loss for the week after the Labor Department said employers cut fewer workers last month. However, the report also showed that the ranks of the unemployed swelled to 9.7 percent, the highest level since June 1983. Analysts had been expecting the rate to increase to 9.5 percent after unexpectedly dipping in July. The increase initially spooked the market, but stocks later recovered their losses and moved higher. Many economists expect the rate to top 10 percent by early next year.

Employers cut 216,000 jobs last month, fewer than the 276,000 lost in July and better than the 225,000 figure analysts had been expecting. Traders said it was an encouraging sign that the labor market could righting itself. “The overall picture is things are getting better,” said Ryan Larson, senior equity trader at Voyageur Asset Management. Stock trading has been erratic over the past few weeks as a sixmonth rally slowed on worries that the market’s rise of more than 50 percent since March has been overdone. The Dow rose 96.66, or 1 percent, to 9,441.27. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 13.16, or 1.3 percent, to 1,016.40, while the Nasdaq composite index added 35.58, or 1.8 percent, to 2,018.78.

Another Washington state lawmaker, Democratic Rep. Jim McDermott, said, “We learned in a WTO ruling that Airbus has enjoyed an unfair competitive advantage over Team Boeing for decades.” However, European officials who were briefed had a somewhat different take on the ruling from American lawmakers and officials, suggesting that many of the complaints lodged by the U.S. had been dismissed. They also said the kind of easy-term loans provided by European governments to Airbus were in some instances seen as a permissible form of financing. A U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity because the ruling was not made public, said the report was clearly not in Airbus’ favor and was a rebuke to decades of European government help. Boeing is headquartered in Chicago, but has extensive plane-building operations in the Seattle area. Lawmakers from other states with links to Boeing, also confirmed the decision.

WTO rules Airbus got unfair aid

WASHINGTON (AP) – In a victory for Boeing Co., the World Trade Organization sided with the American aviation giant Friday in finding that European countries had provided billions in illegal subsidies to chief competitor Airbus. The preliminary ruling by the Geneva-based WTO, although expected to be challenged by the European Union, could begin to shake up the $3.2 trillion global market in new jetliners, in which Airbus has overtaken Boeing. The next shoe to drop will be a decision that may well go the other way: The international trade body will rule next year in an Airbus challenge to what it sees as unfair U.S. government support for Boeing. Friday’s decision confirms a complaint by the United States, filed in 2004, that “all Airbus aircraft have received illegal subsidies and that these have caused material harm to Boeing,” said Rep. Norm Dicks, D-Wash., among those briefed by U.S. trade officials on the yet-to-be released decision.

The top photo shows the new Boeing 787 airplane being unveiled in July 2007 at Boeing’s assembly plant in Everett, Wash., and the bottom photo shows visitors having a look at the Airbus A380 at the Airport Days in September 2007 in Hamburg. The World Trade Organization ruled Friday that Airbus received illegal subsidies from European nations to help fund production.

G-20 must tackle bonuses, Europeans say LONDON (AP) – Top finance officials debated the next steps for the recovering global economy on Friday, with European countries pushing for a crackdown on bankers’ bonuses while the U.S. stressed the need to boost bank reserves to prevent a repeat of the financial crisis. The Group of 20 countries were also discussing so-called exit strategies from the recent massive economic stimulus, although all agreed that withdrawing the massive amounts of money injected into the ailing world economy any time soon could risk a double-dip recession. Developing countries, meanwhile, used the gathering to press for reform of global financial governance, proposing shifts in voting power at the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank in favor of developing countries.

Finance ministers and central bank officials from rich and developing countries representing 80 percent of world economic output are convening in London through Saturday amid mounting signs of at least a modest economic upturn, with Japan, Germany, France and Australia all recording growth in the second quarter. Britain is widely expected to do so in the third quarter. But the mood remained subdued, with a uniform warning that it is too early to declare the end of the crisis. “The global economy still faces great uncertainty, and significant risks remain to economic and financial stability,” Brazil, Russia, India and China – the so-called BRIC quartet – said after they held a mini-summit ahead of the main G-20 talks.

Taurus gets styling, technology makeover BY ANN M. JOB THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NUTS & BOLTS

Just about everything that a car buyer can see, touch and feel is changed for the 2010 Ford Taurus, and it’s a good thing. From the new styling lines outside to the sizable center stack of controls in the middle of the dashboard inside, the new Taurus is tastefully upgraded as a near-premium large sedan. Even better, it offers so many safety features usually reserved for luxury cars, it sets a new safety benchmark for mainstream family-size sedans. Among the high-tech safety features available – not necessarily standard on every Taurus – are programmable adjustments a parent can make for when a teenager will be driving the car and radar-controlled adaptive cruise control that automatically slows the car if it’s closing on a vehicle ahead on the highway. The Taurus’ fuel economy rating of 17 miles per gallon in city driving and 25 mpg on the highway is OK for such a roomy sedan that’s grown in size from its 2009 predecessor. Best of all, starting manufacturer’s suggested

The starting manufacturer’s retail price for a 2010 Ford Taurus is the same $25,995 that it was for the 2009 model. retail price, including destination charge, for a 2010 Taurus is the same $25,995 that it was for the 2009 model. This is for a base, front-wheel drive SE with 263-horsepower, 3.5-liter V-6 and six-speed automatic transmission. Competitors include the Toyota Avalon, which starts at $28,595 for a 2009 model with 268-horsepower V-6, and the 2010 Buick

LaCrosse that starts at $27,835 with 255-horsepower V-6. Expect to be surprised at how sizable and substantial the new Taurus looks and feels. The powerdome shape of the hood and high trunk lid visually convey a strong, powerful sedan. Once behind the wheel, a driver notices that this Taurus feels solid and

weighty. Even the base Taurus weighs more than 4,000 pounds. Still, the new model uses the same Volvo-derived underlying platform that last year’s Taurus had. The ride is exceptional during highway cruising. Most road bumps were damped, and there was even a minimal amount of vibrations coming

through to passengers in the test car. But I often heard noisy tire chatter when the test Taurus Limited with 19-inch tires was on concrete sections of roadway. On winding roads, the Taurus’ heft and size plus compliant suspension had me backing off aggressive moves in the test car as my passengers and I readily

noticed body mass shifting this way and that. I also discovered that the Taurus has a large, nearly 40-foot turning circle. It took some time to gauge where the corners of this big car were as I maneuvered in tight spaces. From the driver’s seat, I never saw the edges of the hood nor could I see very well the back end of the car.
