Main Street. “It’s hit or miss,” she said about business on the holiday while sitting behind the check-out counter at the store. “I figure most people are off of work, so those that might not get to come during the week can come today.” The holiday, viewed symbolically as the end of summer, also drew patrons to Bruster’s Old Fashioned Ice Cream and Frozen Yogurt, where 17-year-old Shelby Guy was making sundaes and stacking scoops on cones. She shared the view that working on the holiday wasn’t troubling as long as she had a job. “For me, as a student, I don’t mind that much,” said Guy, who attends High Point Christian

Academy. “Right now, I just need as many hours as possible. I’m very thankful to have a job.” Guy said when she started her job search earlier this summer, the outlook was bleak. But she landed a job at Bruster’s when the N. Main Street location reopened in July. “Before I got this job, it was so hard to find anything,” she said. And while other Labor Day traditions, such as spending a day by the water, are tempting, Sprye said she doesn’t mind foregoing them in the spirit of more hard work. “Sure, I would rather be at the beach,” she said. “But we’ve managed to be here for six years, so we’re glad to keep going.” phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

Hard economy boosts sales of manufactured, modular homes have opted for modular homes because they usually are less expensive than traditional site-built homes. “The affordability and the features that people can get in the homes these days is probably what brings them in,” Berry said. “The costs of living and the upkeep, with our brand new heating and cooling systems, is just lower. Plus our company has its own construction and financing program set up, so we bridge a lot of gaps.” Manufactured homes are also referred to as mobile homes or trailers. Modular homes are built in sections at a factory that are transferred to the building site. Berry said both types of homes have advanced with technology like traditional homes regarding energy efficiency. Because manufactured homes already are less expensive, energy efficiency features allows customers to cut their utility bills and increas-

Billy Peeples, general manager of Oakwood Homes on Preddy Boulevard in Greensboro, said his store’s sales also are up 28 percent from the same time last year. And in a time when people are struggling economically, it’s no wonder, he said. “I’ve seen a lot of people downsizing in the last two years,” he said. “People are selling their 2,000- to 3,000-square-foot homes and going
down to something that takes less money to take care of.” Homes at the store can range from $25,000 to $200,000, Peeples said. The most popular price range in recent years has been the mid $120,000 range. And the science behind it is simple, he added. “It’s affordable housing,” he said. “I haven’t seen a large (influx) of people coming through the doors.

TRIAD – There are few real estaterelated industries in the area boasting year-to-year sales increases. In fact, a declining housing market has left most with the opposite result. But sellers of manufactured and modular homes say year-to-year sales have seen double-digit increases. Clayton Homes Sales, a national builder and supplier of manufactured and modular homes, reported that its sales are up 22 percent from the same time last year. Local Clayton Homes franchise owner Joe Berry, who operates a store on Piedmont Drive in Lexington, said his customer traffic has slowly increased since the housing market took a dive for several reasons. For example, homeowners who experienced problems with subprime mortgages and tougher lending restrictions

CURBING ABUSE: County may change animal control regulations. 2A
ALL WORK, NO PLAY HIGH POINT – There was no resting or celebrating for Bob Burleson on Labor Day. Instead, the owner of Kepley’s Barbecue on N. Main Street and his staff rolled up their sleeves and got to work while others enjoyed a day off from their usual routines on Monday. “We’ve always been open on Labor Day,” Burleson said. “We get a lot of business from people coming back home (to High Point) from out of town to see their families on Labor Day. They’ll say things like, ‘I used to eat here when I was a little kid.’ We get a good lunch crowd.” Despite the national holiday’s purpose of honoring the achievements of workers, Burleson and others employed by businesses that opened on the national holiday had to clock in and work full days. But considering current economic conditions, most workers, like Burleson, didn’t mind. “I’m lucky to have a job at 78 at the same location I had when I was 16,” said Burleson, whose first job was working as a curb hopper at the restaurant before he bought it several years later. Because many people don’t have to work on Labor Day, it sometimes attracts additional shoppers and boosts business,

This is about bad breeders that have cost the county thousands of dollars.” Dog breeders who sell at least 50 puppies a year or have seven litters would be inspected once a year. Currently, breeders or kennel owners are inspected only if someone complains. Breeders inspected by the American Kennel Club would be exempt. Penalties could range from educating breeders to fines and seizing dogs.
Keeping dangerous or wild animals on private property would be illegal without a special permit. The code would allow the free registration of some exotic animals, such as large snakes, and a prohibition on pets like lions, tigers or bears. Shaw said the committee may continue to revise the code. “We need to continue to work on other issues including dog tethering,” Shaw said. dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

--Virginia woman devours 181 chicken wings in contest BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) – The Black Widow of eating contests has gobbled up nearly 181 chicken wings in 12 minutes, devouring the national championship record in Buffalo, N.Y. The National Buffalo Wing Festival says the wings originated in the city. Sonya Thomas ate
4.86 pounds of chicken wings to win the festival’s contest Sunday, besting world eating marvel Joey Chestnut. Thomas calls herself the Black Widow because she often beats male competitors in eating contests. The previous record was her 174 wings in 2005. Chestnut came in second after eating 169
chicken wings. That’s 4.55 pounds. Thomas says she’s “so happy” because Chestnut had been favored to win. She says her technique of using her hands more than her mouth helped her. The 43-year-old from Alexandria, Va., says she was still hungry after the contest – so she ate 20 hot wings.

Lawmakers want changes at state crime lab RALEIGH (AP) – A report detailing serious flaws in the State Bureau of Investigation’s crime lab has threatened the credibility of North Carolina’s criminal justice system, lawmakers say, and major changes are needed. The News and Observer of Raleigh reports that both Democrats and Republicans in the legislature are dismayed by the findings of the report last month, which detailed how SBI agents helped prosecutors obtain convictions over a 16-year period by misrepresenting blood evidence and keeping critical notes from defense lawyers. “When folks in law enforcement see something like this occur, it can really call into question everything they are doing,� said Senate Minority Leader Phil Berger, R-Rockingham. “You’ve got to clear the air.� Berger is one of several

lawmakers who want to see a full audit of the entire lab. The report that produced the current outcry focused only the lab’s serology section, which analyzes blood and other fluids. A full audit would likely cost millions, but top legislators say money isn’t a concern when the integrity of the system is at stake. “The absolute credibility of the judicial system concerns me more than any expense,� said House Speaker Joe Hackney, D-Orange. In addition to an audit, lawmakers are also talking about the possibility of removing the lab from SBI control to make it independent of prosecutors and police. “You have to separate that connection,� said Senate President Pro Tem Marc Basnight, DDare. “There were people who did anything to secure a conviction. How many innocent people have been convicted?�

Both families suffer losses in fatal accident This is in reference to the article “Local man sentenced in 2008 fatal crash” by Pat Kimbrough: Have the families of both sides not suffered enough? What did the article do except to bring all of the hurt and suffering back again? The article did not give both sides. It just gave one side. I do have sympathy for the victims because they did suffer a loss, but the driver and his family have suffered also. Both families are Christian families; good families. Brady Snow is my cousin and he is a good man. He’s a son, father, cousin. brother, nephew to a family that loves him very much. Your article paints him as someone with no remorse. However, he is remorseful. The victim and the victim’s family have not heard from Snow because the attorney(s) involved advised him to not have any contact with them. He wanted to say words of sympathy and apologies but was not given the opportunity by the attorney and judge.
YOUR VIEW
---
Snow was having a seizure when the accident happened. He does not even remember it happening until he woke up at the accident. If he could change what happened I know he would. The article stated he walked away without serious physical injuries but he still has the emotional injury of knowing that a life has been lost. I just wish when you report on something, you give all sides of the story. Not just one. It is a sad situation because both families have suffered great loss. KIM SMITH High Point
WGHP slights HPU
wondered, since there is a station in Greensboro and another in Winston-Salem, why WGHP seldom files minor stories of very general information on schools, businesses, or the city in High Point. It would be nice. Nothing has really bothered me until Aug. 22, when the station covered the moving day in area schools. It covered Elon, NCA&T and UNC-Greensboro.

About a week ago, I had the misfortune to spend two days in
High Point Regional Hospital. First, let me say that the Emergency Room people, room nurses and CT people took excellent care of me. My complaint is the hospital makes a big deal about patient’s rights. When you are hospitalized, you don’t have any rights! There was a monitor on the wall outside my door that beeped 24/7. It never quit beeping. I had the worst bed I have ever seen. When I was in the service, I had better beds. I was nauseated and the bed kept moving up and down. There were people constantly entering the room for this and that. It was very noisy and sounded like feeding time at the zoo. When my procedure was finished, I was ready to leave and they would not let me leave. I left anyway. (More patients’ rights.) As I have heard many times, “If you ain’t sick when you check into a hospital, you will be when you leave.” WOODY GRADY High Point

o what you can to help the American Furniture Hall of Fame Foundation in achieving its goals with its three-year plan to preserve furniture industry history. The High Point-based American Furniture Hall of Fame Foundation Inc. describes itself as an international, industrywide organization founded to research, collect and preserve our cultural, economic and artistic history, as well as to honor those individuals whose outstanding achievements have contributed to the continued growth and development of the U.S. furniture industry. One of the ways it does that is by inducting members once a year – the 22nd induction banquet, with actress Jane Seymour as host, will be held Oct. 17 during the fall High Point Market. There are eight nominees for the class of 2010, several of whom will join the 81 elected between 1989 and 2009. AFHF priorities over the next three years will be to publish its oral histories, solicit memorabilia, further develop its Wall of Fame and update its website. The American Furniture Hall of Fame has established a Wall of Fame exhibit in the Plaza Building of the Merchandise Mart Properties Inc., exhibition building on S. Main Street. in High Point. The exhibit is 50 feet wide and 10 feet high and is divided into three sections: Honoring Our Heroes, Member Portraits and Preserving Our History. A Walk of Fame, featuring bronze plaques for each member are placed in the walkway just outside Furniture Plaza was established in 2001 and plaques are added after each induction ceremony. Locals can lend assistance by helping to make certain historical accounts are accurate. Those of us who live, work and play here appreciate the effort AFHF is putting into solidifying High Point’s designation as the Furniture Capital of the World. It comes at a most opportune time.

There really is no surprise on ObamaCare costs
A
new study in the Journal of the American Medical Association is being described as “surprising” because it undercuts the promise of ObamaCare to cut health care costs by reducing emergencyroom visits. I have no doubt that some politicians and activists in North Carolina and beyond have found the study’s conclusions surprising. But they shouldn’t have – the truth about emergency-room costs has been clear for years to those willing to look at the evidence. For years, advocates of expanding government health insurance have argued that a major source of health-care inflation was an increasing number of uninsured Americans going to emergency rooms rather than getting medical services from lower-cost providers. If Medicaid or some other government program was expanded to insure these Americans, advocates said, cost would go down because they’d receive less-expensive medical care in doctor’s offices rather than at the ER. The claim may have sounded plausible. But it was never consistent with reality. In the first place, uncompensated care in hospitals – not just in ERs but across all hospital services – has never accounted for a significant percentage of U.S. spending on health care. In most years, the share is between 3 percent and 4 percent. You can complain about “cost shifting” from the uninsured to everyone else all you want, but that won’t turn it into a major cause of rising costs. More importantly, to assume that the recent growth in emergency-room visits was an artifact of growth in the uninsured population was to do just that – make an assumption, without good evidence. The new study, by a researcher at the University of California at San Francisco,
OPINION John Hood ■■■
underlines a fact even more inconvenient for ObamaCare supporters. Not only are insured patients the majority in emergency rooms, but patients insured under Medicaid are twice as likely to use ERs as the uninsured are. In North Carolina, 24 percent of ER patients are on Medicaid, far higher than the 14 percent of North Carolinians who are enrolled in the program, according to the
study. Why is this disparity significant? Because the main way ObamaCare was expected to reduce the ranks of the uninsured was by enrolling them in Medicaid. As a result, hundreds of thousands of North Carolinians will join the Medicaid rolls in the coming years. Far from reducing ER use, ObamaCare will likely increase it. For years, debates about health reform have been fraught with myths. In addition to the uncompensated-care fixation, some politicians and activists have claimed that universal coverage would reduce cost by increasing access to preventive care (which doesn’t actually reduce cost) and that insurance-company profits are the main explanation for America’s relatively high health-care spending (not mathematically possible). Clinging to convenient myths may be pathetic, but one has a right to be wrong. The problem now is that Congress and the Obama administration have written their cherished myths into law – forcing us to suffer the consequences in higher taxes, higher deficits, less access to quality health care, and less freedom.

NATO asks for more troops for Afghanistan KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) – The top U.S. and NATO commander in Afghanistan is asking for 2,000 more soldiers to join the 140,000-strong international force here, NATO officials said Monday. It was unclear how many would be Americans. Coalition officials said nearly half will be trainers for the rapidly expanding
Afghan security forces and will include troops trained to neutralize roadside bombs that have been responsible for about 60 percent of the 2,000 allied deaths in the nearly 9-year war. The alliance has had trouble raising more troops for the war effort, with at least 450 training slots still unfilled after more than a year.

Sharp aftershocks strike New Zealand CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand – A sharp series of about 20 aftershocks rattled New Zealand’s earthquake-hit city of Christchurch overnight, and earthquake experts warned today that another powerful tremblor might hammer the region in coming days. The weekend’s powerful 7.1-magnitude earthquake smashed buildings and homes, wrecked roads and disrupted the central city, though nobody was killed and only two people were seriously injured.
Iran woman could be stoned to death soon TEHRAN, Iran – The lawyer for an Iranian woman sentenced to be stoned on an adultery conviction said Monday that he and her children are worried the delayed execution could be carried out soon with the end of a moratorium on death sentences for the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. In an unusual turn in the case, the lawyer also confirmed that Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani was lashed 99 times last week in a separate punishment meted out because a British newspaper ran a picture of an unveiled woman mistakenly identified as her.

Death toll hits 45 in Guatemala mudslides GUATEMALA CITY – Searchers on Monday pulled five more bodies from a mud-covered highway where back-to-back landslides buried bus passengers and people trying to save them. The deaths raised the official toll from rain-fueled mudslides in Guatemala to 45. Authorities said 25 people are confirmed dead and at least 15 are believed to be still buried beneath the debris in the village of Nahuala, where a first mudslide buried a bus and other vehicles, then a second one turned would-be rescuers into victims.
Suicide attack in Pakistan kills 17 people LAKKI MARWAT, Pakistan (AP) – A Taliban suicide bomber detonated a car in an alley behind a police station in a strategically important town in northwestern Pakistan on Monday, killing at least 17 police and civilians in an explosion that shattered the station and neighboring homes. About 40 people were wounded in the attack in Lakki Marwat, which sits on the main road between Punjab province, Pakistan’s largest and most prosperous, and the North and South Waziristan tribal regions. A Pakistani army offensive pushed many militants out of South Waziristan in October. The militants still control much of North Waziristan, where U.S. drone aircraft have been conducting a campaign of targeted killings.

Colombian is world’s shortest man at 27 inches BOGOTA, Colombia – Edward Nino Hernandez is in many ways a typical 24-year-old Colombian male. He loves to dance reggaeton, dreams of owning a car – preferably a Mercedes – and wants to see the world. What sets Nino apart is his size. He is slightly taller than a piece of carry-on luggage and weighs just 22 pounds (10 kilograms). Nino has just been officially certified as the world’s shortest living man by Guinness World Records, measuring 27 inches (70 centimeters).
Regulators want Avandia diabetes pill pulled LONDON – GlaxoSmithKline’s controversial diabetes pill Avandia should be pulled from the U.K. market because of concerns that the drug can increase the risk of heart attacks, British drug regulators said Monday. The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) said an independent panel of experts had advised it that the risks of Avandia outweigh its benefits, and that the drug should no longer be sold in Britain.

Obama assails Republicans, promotes new jobs program MILWAUKEE (AP) – A combative President Barack Obama rolled out a long-term jobs program Monday that would exceed $50 billion to rebuild roads, railways and runways, and coupled it with a blunt campaign-season assault on Republicans for causing Americans’ hard economic times. GOP leaders instantly assailed Obama’s proposal as an ineffective one that would simply raise already excessive federal spending. Many congressional Democrats are also likely to be reluctant to boost expenditures and increase federal deficits just weeks before elections that will determine control of Congress. Jim Manley, spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada, cautioned, “If we are going to get anything done, Republican cooperation, which has been all but non-existent recently, will be necessary.� That left the plan with low, if not impossible, odds of becoming law this year. When Congress returns from summer recess in mid-September, it is likely to remain in session for only a few weeks before lawmak-

At a Labor Day speech in Milwaukee, Obama said Republicans are betting that between now and the Nov. 2 elections, Americans will forget the Republican economic policies that led to the recession. He said Republicans have opposed virtually everything he has done to help the economy, and have proposed solutions that have only made the problem worse. “That philosophy didn’t work out so well for middle-class families all across America,� Obama told a cheering crowd at a labor gathering. “It didn’t work out so well for our country. All it did was rack up record deficits and result in the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression.� He said Repubicans have consistently opposed his economic proposals and seem to be running on a slogan of “No, we can’t,� playing off his 2008 presidential campaign mantra of “Yes we can.� “If I said fish live in the sea, they’d say no,� Obama said. Republicans made clear that Obama should not expect any help from them.

Victim in acid attack leaves hospital
US won’t say if blowout preventer on way to shore NEW ORLEANS (AP) – The Justice Department won’t say if the blowout preventer that failed to stop oil from gushing from BP’s undersea well into the Gulf of Mexico is on its way to shore. Spokeswoman Hannah August declined comment Monday. The 50-foot, 300-ton device, which was lifted to the surface Saturday, is expected to be analyzed at a NASA facility in Louisiana. It is unclear, meanwhile, exactly when the final plugging of the well will take place. Relief well drilling was supposed to resume after Labor Day.

Legacy Emanuel Hospital in Portland says 28year-old Bethany Storro of Vancouver was discharged from the burn center Sunday afternoon. Storro was attacked by an unknown woman who is now sought by police. Doctors performed surgery on her face Wednesday night, removing dead skin from the areas that were most deeply injured. She said late last week that she will not let the attack wreck her life. Storro said she has gotten letters and e-mails from people all over the country.

BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
GUILFORD COUNTY – It cost taxpayers $127,779 over 13 years for a 2009 Guilford County high school senior’s diploma. The John W. Pope Civitas Institute estimated the median inflation-adjusted cost of a 2009 high school diploma in the state’s 10 largest public school districts at $122,478. Civitas collected per-student expenditures across 13 years for the districts. The figure does not include costs of capital expenses, debt services, transportation costs or community service programs. The diploma cost ranged from $110,262 to $197,648. The Guilford degree cost more than degrees in Wake County at $122,178, but less than Charlotte-Mecklenburg at $152,531 and Forsyth at $144,603.

Civitas Senior Policy Analyst Bob Luebke said the amount of money spent on education does not always mean quality instruction. Taxpayers need to ask if they are getting their money’s worth, Luebke said. “North Carolina is spending billions on public education. However, our analysis shows academic progress in many of these districts is mixed at best and dropouts are adding considerably to the cost of public education,” Luebke said. Despite high levels of spending, several districts saw lower four-year graduation rates than those spending less. With the highest spending, Durham County had a graduation rate of 63 percent while Guilford County, had the highest rate at 80 percent. According to Department of Public Instruction data, 70 percent of 9th grade students who enrolled as freshmen in 2005-06, graduated four years later in 2009. The median for the 10 largest districts was 73 percent. dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

Dentist sells practice after 30 years in business ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT
HIGH POINT – Longtime local dentist Harry “Frosty” Culp recently sold his practice, though Culp continues to work in the office he founded 30 years ago. The practice now is owned by Dr. Cody Fielden and has changed its name to Fielden Family Dentistry. Culp, also a longtime civic volunteer in the High Point area, said that for some time he had sought the right candidate to assume ownership of the practice. “A lot of patients here are my friends or my family’s friends. I’ve known most of them for years, and they’re like family. I want the
practice’s future to convey that same goodness, that same art of carFielden ing, we started 30 years ago,” Culp said. Fielden and his family relocated from San Diego to High Point. Fielden said the practice, for the most part, runs the same under his ownership, with the only differences being an increase in on-site oral surgery procedures and a greater variety of cosmetic procedures. “I’ve always been especially drawn to the critical nature of oral surgery, and cosmetic procedures are so incredibly reward-

Little Rock 9 member dies LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) – Jefferson Thomas, who as a teenager was among nine black students to integrate a Little Rock high school in the nation’s first major battle over school segregation, has died. He was 67. Thomas died Sunday in Ohio of pancreatic cancer, according to a Monday statement from Carlotta Walls LaNier, who also enrolled at Central High School in 1957 and is president of the Little Rock Nine Foundation.

State to negotiate Race to the Top prize MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
Yeah, they won. But how much? Education leaders did cartwheels last week upon hearing that the state won a competitive federal Race to the Top grant. The award is going to be in the hundreds of millions of dollars, but the
state isn’t sure it will get the entire $400 million it requested. On Sept. 12, state representatives will be back in Washington for final budget negotiations. By Nov. 22, federal officials will have approved the final work plan, and local districts will start getting grant money, said state Superintendent of Public Instruction June Atkinson.
The state was among 10 winners in the second round of the competition. In its application, state officials said they would use the money to recruit and retain quality teachers and administrators, improve low-performing schools and raise the graduation rate. Federal officials will want monthly updates on how the state’s improve-
ment plan is progressing and how it is spending the money, Atkinson said.
Burr buys online ads Complementing his television ads, U.S. Sen. Richard Burr has launched an Internet campaign. The Internet ad buy is
worth $120,000, campaign spokesman Samantha Smith said. That’s in addition to the $500,000 the campaign has spent to air television ads. Dome spotted one of the ads on Public Policy Polling’s website. It features a graduating college student, Alex Gonzales, who says that she is worried about the future and that she believes Burr will
make the best decisions in Washington. Burr, a Winston-Salem Republican, has a huge financial advantage over Democratic challenger Elaine Marshall. Her campaign has spent some money on Facebook ads but has primarily focused on using the free parts of social media to try to drum up help for the campaign.

Party turns deadly; 2 face charges in killing MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
Authorities say an alcohol-laden party in Old Fort turned fatal over the weekend, leading two suspects to dump the victim’s body in a heavily wooded section of Yancey County.
Michael N. Warlick, 33, of 550 Main St. in Old Fort, was arrested Sunday night and charged with murder. His roommate, Jerry Ryan Echols, 26, of the same address, has been charged with accessory after the fact of murder. Capt. Shanon Smith
of the McDowell County Sheriff’s Office said deputies began receiving calls around 11 a.m. Sunday of a possible gunshot victim. The body was identified as that of 37-year-old Samuel Edward Effler. Smith said Monday afternoon it is believed

ear Abby: My best friend of 30 years, “Andrea,� and her husband decided not to have children. They are happy with their dogs and cats. She recently adopted a 10-year-old rescue dog and changed the dog’s name to “Monique.� Abby, Monique is my daughter’s name! When I asked Andrea why she changed the dog’s name, she said it is because no one in her family has that name. I am hurt that she would name her dog after my daughter, her godchild – so much so that I no longer wish to speak to this woman. How do I get past this? – Monique’s Mom in Colorado Dear M.M.: I understand your feelings, but I hate to see a friendship of 30 years go down in flames because of one (albeit huge) lapse of judgment on Andrea’s part. It appears she just loved the name. Avoid having your daughter and her dog in the same room at the same time, and you’ll spare both of them from confusion. And remember, your Monique will have the name much longer than the dog will. This, too, shall pass. Dear Abby: I have an old friend, “Erika,� who, when we were working together, was my superior. My problem is Erika will, from time to
time, ask me questions seeming not to know anything about the subject. ADVICE However, as I begin Dear explaining Abby whatever ■■■it is, she’ll then say something that indicates she really is well-versed in the matter and knows more about it than I do. I end up feeling blindsided, stupid, and like I have been set up. Why does she do this? And how can I avoid falling into this trap? Erika seems so sincere when she asks a question. – Falling For It in Decatur, Ill. Dear Falling For It: She may do it as a form of one-upmanship – or “asking questions� may be her way of making conversation. Because it makes you uncomfortable, ask her why she does it and, while you’re at it, tell her how it makes you feel. If Erika cares about your feelings, she’ll stop trying to one-up you. And if she doesn’t, accept that you will either have to keep your guard up when you’re with her, or limit the time you spend with her. Dear Abby: I don’t cry at funerals. I am a Christian with a deep convic-
tion that the deceased is in a better place. I have been criticized for not crying. My sisterin-law chided me about it at my father-in-law’s funeral. He had been sick and in constant pain for 15 years and died in his 70s. I didn’t cry because he had lived a long and happy life, and had been finally released from chronic pain. How do I answer these criticisms? I have given the reasons I have given you, but no one wants to accept that response. I’m tired of being told how I “should� show emotion at a funeral. Is what I feel or show really anyone’s business but my own? – Stoic in Columbus, Ohio Dear Stoic: No, it’s not. And furthermore, funerals can be such wrenching events that sometimes emotions become mixed up and mourners – rather than crying – have been known to break into giggles and laughter. Because few people who have suffered a significant loss are at their best while they are grieving, please try to forgive these presumptuous individuals for their comments.

Waistline is barometer of health

ere’s a quick and easy way to determine your mortality risk: Check your waistline. It doesn’t matter how fat or skinny you are, as there appears to be an increased risk of death if you’re over a certain number inches. This pertains to both men and women. Waist circumference as it relates to abdominal obesity is positively associated with mortality risk, according to an article published in the Archives of Internal Medicine. Larger waist circumferences usually indicate more abdominal fat, and that relates to a higher risk of death. How large do you have to be to be considered abdominally obese? For a man, a waist circumference of 40.16 inches; a woman, 34.64 inches. Anything beyond those thresholds, and the mortality risk goes higher. As a matter of fact, according to the report a 4-inch increase in waist circumference can increase the rate by up to 25 percent. The report also indicated that it didn’t matter where you fell on the body mass index chart. If your waist circumference is at or beyond those thresholds levels, for either gender, the risk is the same. That means regardless of if your BMI is 23, considered normal weight by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, or 34, which places you in the obese category, you still have the same mortality risk if your waist circumference is too large. Physicians in the near future may pay more attention to your waist circumference than your BMI or body weight, but don’t wait for that to happen. Start taking steps now to reduce that waistline if you’re not measuring up and you’ll be doing yourself a world of good. Incorporate some physical activity into your daily routine. Take heed of the advice that you should walk your dog twice a day, even if you don’t have a dog. You’ll be amazed at what a little bit of activity will do, if done consistently, for your waistline and your overall health. In addition, start making healthier food choices. Make subtle changes in your eating habits, such as eating a better breakfast and incorporating several fruits and/or vegetables into your diet each day. Your future outlook could be right there in the waistline of your pants. Don’t ignore the numbers or the research. If you’re living large, you need to commit to a healthier lifestyle. No one can do it for you.

The Salvation Army Family Store and Donation Center
High Point Regional raises $106,000 in giving campaign HIGH POINT – Employees at High Point Regional Health System raised more than $106,000 during the hospital’s first annual employee giving campaign. The theme of the campaign was “Give Strong! Change Lives.� More than 520 employees gave, with gifts ranging from $1 to more than $1,000. Employee donations will be distributed to four areas: greatest need, project care, patient special needs and adult health center. Employees were given the
option of designating where they would like their gift to go. The area of greatest need provides financial support to important patient care programs, services and technology that have the greatest need in the health system. Project care assists employees who experience a catastrophic emergency. Patient special needs helps patients who are in a crisis situation and have an immediate need for support. For exam-
ple, this may include providing clothing for discharge, meals and/or other special needs. Adult health center provides primary care and pharmacy services to uninsured and underinsured Guilford County residents who live in High Point The campaign was organized by employees.

Can cholesterol be too low?
D
ear Dr. Donohue: I am a 78-year-old male and have blood tests and physicals every year. In 2001, my cholesterol was 225 mg/ dL (5.8 mmol/L). Every year it was lower, until this year it was 94 (2.4). My LDL was 29 (.75), and my triglycerides 36 (0.4). My weight stays between 138 and 144 pounds. I am 5 feet 6 inches tall. My appetite is good. I am not nor have I ever been on a low-cholesterol diet. Should I be concerned? – B.S.
BLONDIE
I have never seen such low values. Normal cholesterol should be less than 200 mg/dL (5.18). The LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol) optimum level depends on associated risks, like having had a heart attack, in which case it should be less than 70 (1.8), or less than 100 (2.59) if other factors for heart disease are present. Some experts advocate even lower LDL numbers. They maintain that a value of 40 (1.03) affords greater protection against having a heart attack. A normal triglyceride reading is less than 150 mg/dL (1.69 mmol/L). Very low readings for cholesterol are seen with advanced cancer. You are not likely to have had advanced cancer for nine years without any symptoms. A digestive tract that doesn’t absorb nutrients is another cause of low readings. Again, other symptoms ought to be present, things like diarrhea and weight loss. Liver and thyroid condi-

tions also can lower readings. If I were your doctor, I would give you two HEALTH choices. One is to Dr. Paul be retested Donohue in a matter ■■■ of months, maybe three. Or I would send you to an expert in lipid disorders (lipids are cholesterol and triglycerides). Such experts are found in large medical centers or at medical centers connected with a medical school. I checked your address. You are not far from such institutions. I am baffled. I take it you’re not on any cholesterol-lowering medicines. Dear Dr. Donohue: I read your comments on herpes. I work as a cashier. Can I contract herpes if I touch the hand of an infected person? – E.C. Your chances of catching herpes are as close to zero as anything can be. Dear Dr. Donohue: I have a 19-year-old grandson. To look at him, you would say he is 14. His diet consists of chocolate-chip cookies for breakfast. For lunch he might have an ice cream on a stick. He eats mostly chicken for dinner with white rice. On Saturdays it is pizza, and on Sundays, a piece of steak with white rice. He
drinks only water and decaf iced tea. The same menu is repeated every week since his mom (my daughter) died eight years ago. He has never eaten a piece of fruit or any vegetables. He has never drunk any milk or juice. On the other side, he has never eaten any candy, soda pop or cakes. He is 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighs 120 or less. He has Asperger’s disorder. I am hoping to take him to a doctor, but his father may object. Please advise. – D.A. This young man’s diet is alarmingly bizarre, and his weight is alarmingly low. He’s not getting the nutrition he needs to support his body weight and energy. It’s most likely that psychological problems are contributing to his choice of diet. His Asperger’s could be involved. Who made this diagnosis for him? If it was recent, I would take him to that person and ask for help. If that is impossible, I would do as you are doing. Get him to a doctor and ask the doctor, after his exam, for a referral to a mental health professional. The boy needs immediate help. He is 19 years old. His father should not object or interfere. DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible. Readers may write him or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475

Bahamas drops charges in Travolta extortion case NASSAU, Bahamas (AP) – A judge in the Bahamas dismissed charges Monday against two people accused of trying to extort money from John Travolta after the actor decided he no longer wanted to face the pain of a new trial stemming from the death of his teenage son on the island chain. Prosecutor Neil Braithwaite had submitted a motion to drop the case just as a retrial was about to start for the two defendants.
“The Travolta family has said that this matter has caused them unbelievable stress and pain and they wish to put this whole thing behind them,” Braithwaite told the court after a jury had been picked to hear the case. Ambulance driver Tarino Lightbourne and his attorney, politician Pleasant Bridgewater, were accused of threatening to release private information about the January 2009 death of Travolta’s 16-year-old
son, Jett, at the family vacation home in Grand Bahama. Lightbourne, who was among the medics who treated Jett, allegedly sought $25 million from the actor with the assistance of Bridgewater, who resigned her seat in the Bahamas Senate after she was charged in the case. A judge declared a mistrial in October after a Bahamian lawmaker suggested the still-deliberating jury had acquitted one of the suspects.
LOS ANGELES (AP) – George Clooney’s hitman tale “The American” has captured the top spot at the box office with a $16.4 million debut over the long Labor Day weekend. Since opening Wednesday, the Focus Features release has taken in $19.5 million. The 20th Century Fox revenge romp “Machete” and Sony’s heist thriller “Takers” were in a duel for second-place. “Machete” led with $14 million from Friday to Monday. “Takers” followed with $13.5 million, though the two movies were close enough that rankings could change once final numbers are released Tuesday. “Takers,” which had been the No. 1 movie the previous weekend, raised its 10-day total to $40 million.

Top gun Retired police Lt. Paul Hendrix is a sure-fire hotshot BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

J
AMESTOWN – Paul Hendrix may be retired from the High Point Police Department, but his shooting skills are as sharp as ever. Two weekends ago, the 57-year-old Jamestown man finished sixth overall – out of nearly 300 competitors – and won top honors in the 55-and-up Senior age group of his division at a handgun-shooting competition in Fredericksburg, Va. Hendrix, who is still a lieutenant with the police department’s reserve force – and who is a firearms instructor for the department – finished with a score of 817.3453, more than 160 points ahead of the nearest competitor in his age group. “I’ve been shooting competitively since 1974,” Hendrix says. “...I’ve gotten real involved with it, and I thoroughly enjoy it.” Practical shooting, as defined by the U.S. Practical Shooting Association – the sport’s governing body – “attempts to measure the ability to shoot rapidly and accurately with a full-power handgun, rifle and/or shotgun,” according to the organization’s website. Competitors must find the right balance between accuracy with speed, Hendrix says. “As many years as I’ve been doing this, I haven’t quite mastered that balance,” he says. “Zero times the speed of light still comes up to be zero, so you’ve got to have some accuracy level with it.” Hendrix, a Jamestown native, began his law-enforcement career in 1974, joined the U.S. Army as an MP (military police) and worked for the Guilford County Sheriff’s
A shooting competition for law enforcement personnel only will be held Oct. 2 at the High Point Police Department Firing Range, located at 6011 Riverdale Drive. Spectators are welcome.

Hendrix changes clips in his custom-built .40caliber pistol. He holds the rank of Master, the second-highest skill level in his sport. Department before joining the High Point force in 1980. He retired in January 2008 as a lieutenant, but he remained on the reserve force so he could stay involved with the department’s training program. He had a shotgun as a kid, he says, but his exposure to handguns was limited. “I never really shot handguns until I went in the Army as an MP,” Hendrix says. The handgun Hendrix used in Fredericksburg is an STI-2011, a custom-built, .40-caliber gun. “I bought the components and had custom gunsmiths build it to my specifications,” he says, explaining that many USPSA competi-
tors use custom-built guns and some even use custom-designed ammo (he uses factory ammo). “It’s .40-caliber because you get more round capacity with a .40-caliber than you do with a .45. Having the extra capacity is kind of a comfort feature for me.” It appears to be working, as Hendrix holds the rank of Master, the second-highest skill level in the sport. In addition to his win at Fredericksburg, Hendrix is the reigning national single-stack Senior champion, which is another USPSA division. He competes about three weekends a month at matches up and down the East Coast and will compete at a match in High Point scheduled for Oct. 2. “I used to enjoy the hard competition,” Hendrix says. “But now I enjoy the social aspect, getting to see these people from all over the country – and some from all over the world – that I don’t see anywhere else. It’s a social event where I get to play and compete and have a good time.”
From wiggly worms to advances in biotechnology, an assortment of fun-filled, handson workshops and activities are planned in Winston-Salem and surrounding communities from Saturday through Sept. 26, coinciding with the first North Carolina Science Festival, a statewide celebration of science and technology. The Science Festival offers the public an opportunity to experience science in fun and welcoming settings. The aim is to create an environment that encourages children to pursue sciencerelated careers. Throughout the state, events will take place in a variety of venues, including science museums, businesses, college and university campuses, parks, theaters and more. A special local feature, “STEMulating the Mind,” is a free event that will be presented by the Atkins School of Biotechnology at Atkins Academic and Technology High School on Sept. 14. Event participants will be able to rotate through a series of hands-on demonstrations, accompanied by speakers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Attached is a calendar, compiled by local organizations such as Targacept, SciWorks, Atkins Biotech High School and the Winston-Salem Chamber of Commerce, that lists some of the events planned in the Triad.

DUMMY ENTRY Despite the result, there was little to admire in South’s play. If West had held K-J-7 of clubs, South would have lost a cold game; West would win the first club and lead a spade, killing dummy’s entry to the clubs. South should take the ace of clubs at Trick Two and continue with the queen. Since dummy retains two high spades as entries, South can set up and cash the long clubs,
CROSSWORD
Tuesday, Sept. 7, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Evan Rachel Wood, 23; Corbin Bernsen, 56; Julie Kavner, 60; Gloria Gaynor, 61 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: You will have greater insight into family situations. Your willingness to try doing things differently will be the key to professional stability. Don’t limit what you can do because of extra responsibilities. Your ability to juggle and multitask will set you apart from the crowd. Your numbers are 7, 9, 13, 25, 29, 31, 48 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Reach out with love and positive thoughts to the people around you and you will get the same in return. It will be necessary for you to take steps to stabilize your professional life. Networking with people with something to offer is a good place to start. ★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Getting involved in social settings will lead you to open your mind to new hobbies and friendships. Spend time learning, honing and developing your skills and you will impress others with the precision you possess. ★★★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): It’s OK to go after what you want but don’t expect everyone to agree with what you are doing. Love is in a high cycle but such matters must be dealt with appropriately or you will face opposition from someone important to you. ★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Honesty will be questioned and self-deception will be a problem. Face the facts and make decisions based on what you see. Blame has probably been put on the wrong individual. Don’t ignore what needs to be done. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Let your thoughts and feelings be known and you will feel better and less stressed about what you need to do next. Love and romance are in a high cycle. Don’t let someone else’s doubt hold you back or slow you down. Follow your heart. ★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You’ll have a hard time dealing with emotional issues if you don’t separate the way you feel from what must be done. Rely on someone who can guide you. There is plenty to gain if you focus and follow through. ★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): A serious-minded attitude may seem depressing but it will help you accomplish what needs to be done. Buckle down and lend a helping hand where needed. Don’t listen to anyone who isn’t willing to stand by your side. ★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don’t share any uncertainty you have about getting things done. A positive attitude coupled with a good plan will pan out in the end. Job opportunities are highlighted. Follow your intuition. ★★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Nothing will turn out to be as it appears. You may have a problem with communications, publishing or anything pertaining to travel and education. Taking on too much or overreacting will cost you personally and professionally. ★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Making money, cutting deals, taking care of pending legalities or focusing on your health and well-being will all pay off. Don’t let the people you love tie up your time or cause you to miss out on a chance to prosper. ★★★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): It’s time to be honest with yourself and the people around you about your health, well-being and your feelings about someone. By not sharing, you will continue to spin your wheels and accomplish little. Turn the negatives you have been living with into a positive. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Work hard, play hard and enjoy the benefits that come along with living life to its fullest. Progressive thinking will help you win at the end of the day. A creative idea will spark interest in potential partners. ★★★

BRIDGE
“The man’s a blockhead,” Cy the Cynic growled. “If he were a window washer, he’d step back to admire his work.” Cy was talking about Harlow the Halo, my club’s luckiest player, whose errors never cost. Harlow was declarer at 3NT, and Cy, West, led the ten of diamonds. Harlow won with the jack, led a spade to dummy, returned a club to his queen, took the ace and led a third club. “I won and led a spade,” Cy said. “The Halo claimed 11 tricks – four clubs, three diamonds, two hearts and two spades – and indulged in some admiring comments about his own play.”
HOROSCOPE
assuring the contract.
DAILY QUESTION You hold: S A K 6 2 H 7 3 D 5 2 C 10 9 8 3 2. Your partner opens one heart, you respond one spade and he bids two diamonds. The opponents pass. What do you say? ANSWER: Your partner holds at least five hearts but may have only four diamonds, hence return to two hearts. He can expect no better heart support since you didn’t raise directly. A bid of two spades would suggest a six-card suit; a bid of three clubs or 2NT would promise more strength. South dealer Both sides vulnerable
ONE STAR: It’s best to avoid conflicts; work behind the scenes or read a good book. Two stars: You can accomplish but don’t rely on others for help. Three stars: If you focus, you will reach your goals. Four stars: You can pretty much do as you please, a good time to start new projects. Five stars: Nothing can stop you now. Go for the gold.

Gesell a hit at HPCA
A
ny new coach possesses a laundry list of things to learn about the program he or she inherits. Talent level of the players. Their personalities. Strength of the opposition. How to find the new schools. Heck, the laundry list even can include how to go about getting those uniforms clean after each match. For his part, Doug Balser SPORTS learned one thing especially fast Steve when he arrived Hanf at High Point ■■■ Christian Academy: Where not to stand when Bethany Gesell is engaged in pregame hitting drills. “She can hit the ball hard!” Balser exclaimed. “During practice I do not get in the way when she’s hitting. She’s nailed me a couple times in some drills and I’ve learned now, ‘Where’s she hitting? OK.’ ” Balser knew plenty about the Cougars’ senior upon taking the job this summer. Last year, Gesell earned all-state honors while helping HPCA to the N.C. Independent Schools Athletic Association 2A championship. She’s a familiar face on the club volleyball circuit and wellknown for “hit, hit, hit,” Balser said. “That’s the glory part.” But Balser discovered early on that Gesell could do the gritty stuff, too. “She is a great hitter,” the coach offered. “But I was more impressed that she’s a complete player. She can pass, she can set, she’s got good all-around skill and has extreme understanding of court movement and placement.” That all-around talent got noticed after Gesell started competing on a year-round schedule. Basketball went by the wayside her freshman year. The following spring, she discovered that softball had to go to allow her the time to compete at the highest levels. “I was in love with volleyball. It’s my passion,” Gesell said.
DON DAVIS JR. | HPE
High Point Christian Academy’s Bethany Gesell (right), who earned allstate honors in leading the Cougars to the NCISAA state 2A title last season, looks to enjoy more success as a senior. The way college coaches responded to her game, it became clear Gesell made a good choice. The 5-foot-11 athlete sifted through the many letters and brochures she got from schools of various levels and sizes and compiled a wish list. The likes of West Florida and Jacksonville State certainly fit the bill. UT-Chattanooga was another possibility. Then came a visit to East
Tennessee State University in Johnson City. “When I was going through all my college stuff I made a list of what I wanted in a school: I don’t want the mountains, I don’t want cold weather – stuff that East Tennessee has!” Gesell admitted with a smile. “But when I went to the campus it just felt right, I blended right in. It was a good fit and I felt really comfortable there.” She committed to the Buc-
caneers – an NCAA Division I school in the Atlantic Sun Conference – in April and is looking forward to signing her National Letter of Intent during the November signing period. With that momentous decision made, Gesell finds herself able to concentrate on playing the game she loves. She recently was named to the American Volleyball Coaches Association All-American preseason “watch list,” one of just nine players from North Carolina included on the list of 381 prep standouts. “I’ve had that big weight lifted off my shoulders,” she said. “I’m still working really hard, because I want this to be the best year ever since it’s my senior year. “It’s an exciting team,” she added of the new-look Cougars. “I was excited to see what the team had this year. We’re a young team and we’ve grown a lot already.” Only five players are back from the 2A title-winning squad in Gesell, Kathryn Cox, Tara Moseley, Ellen Fay and Macy Scarborough. Of those, only Gesell and Fay – the libero – return at the same positions. Scarborough is playing well at the setter spot, feeding Gesell and new outside hitters Claire Phipps and Cayla Cecil. Moseley and Cox have been strong in the middle so far. Gesell helps hold it all together as the Cougars learn about their new coach and their new level of competition in the 3A ranks. High Point Christian suffered an early tournament loss to defending 3A state champ Charlotte Latin, but the thrill of competing for last year’s title and the hopes of repeating that feat remain alive and well. “Today I was watching part of the state championship game video on YouTube,” Gesell said late last week. “There’s a lot of new people (on the team), but they know about it. We’ve thought about it a lot. I know I have. It’s still fresh in my mind. I just hope we can pull out another one.” shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526
Stewart feels good about Chase after win HAMPTON, Ga. (AP) – One more race to go until the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship, and all of a sudden Tony Stewart looks like a serious contender. Only it’s not that sudden. Stewart has been steadily improving over the past couple of months, consistently running in the top 10 and seeming to find a little bit more speed every week. He figured it was just a matter of time before he finally got back to Victory Lane. That breakthrough came Sunday night, when Stewart claimed his first win of the season with a dominating performance at Atlanta Motor Speedway. “We’ve kind of been silent every weekend, but we’ve been gaining on it,” he said. “It was not a oneweek increment where we had a big change. We’ve been taking a lot of little steps the last 10 to 12 races. Nobody’s really noticed it,
but we’ve noticed. We have a much better feeling than we did compared to this time last year.” He led more laps (176) in the Emory Stewart Healthcare 500 than everyone else combined and pulled away from Carl Edwards on the last restart to win by a comfortable 1.316 seconds. Stewart snapped a streak of 31 races without a win – the second-longest drought of his 12year Cup career, surpassed only by a 43-race stretch over the 200708 seasons. But he’s been one of the most consistent racers in the series since a sluggish start. Ten of the last 12 races have resulted in top10 finishes, and clearly he hasn’t forgotten how to win, either. Now comes the Chase, in which the 39-year-old Stewart will be
seeking his third career championship but first as a car owner. “I don’t know if we have peaked yet,” he said. “I think we’ve got room to be better.” There won’t be all that much drama in next weekend’s race at Richmond, essentially the regular-season finale. Stewart is among 10 drivers who’ve already clinched spots in the 12-man Chase, led by points leader Kevin Harvick, Jeff Gordon and Kyle Busch. Stewart is fourth, followed by Edwards, Jeff Burton, four-time defending champion Jimmie Johnson, Kurt Busch, Matt Kenseth and Denny Hamlin. Still looking to lock up spots at Richmond are No. 11 Greg Biffle and No. 12 Clint Bowyer, each of whom would only fall out with an unprecedented collapse. Bowyer has a 117-point lead on No. 13 Ryan Newman and merely
needs to finish 28th at Richmond to clinch his spot. Sentimental favorite Mark Martin, trying to win his first Cup championship at age 51, slipped a spot in the standings and is now 15th – a daunting 147 points out of the playoff. The final caution of the night came out after Newman made contact with Kasey Kahne, nearly causing a crash on the backstretch. Stewart was out front when the green came back out with 19 laps to go, and he zoomed off the line to beat Edwards into the first corner. From there, the No. 14 Stewart-Haas Racing Chevy steadily pulled away for his first victory since Oct. 4, 2009, at Kansas. Johnson was third, followed by Burton and Kyle Busch. “I didn’t hit a restart all night until right there at the end,” Stewart said. “I’ve never been so happy with a win in my life.”

t’s hard to believe our Meet The Seniors feature is entering its fifth year. We started our fifth installment of this popular prep stable with five senior profiles in Friday’s edition of The High Point Enterprise. We continue with five more in today’s edition, then we’ll run Meet The Seniors every Tuesday and Friday until the conclusion of the school year or we run out of forms, whichever comes first.
By the looks of the response so far, we could be running Meet The Seniors well into the summer. So far, we’re received close to 150 forms from seniors attending the area high schools we cover. And speaking of big numbers, we’re on pace to run our 1,000th senior profile in the coming weeks. Our count is not precise enough to name the exact date or the exact senior who will be
lucky No. 1,000. And there won’t be a special prize to mark that milestone. But really, we’re pleased to consider every senior student-athlete prize worthy. You’re all winners in our book. Keep supplying those great answers, 12thgraders. And we’ll keep the Meet The Seniors coming!

Charley Hoffman was rolling in so many putts he lost track of how many birdies he made Monday. His final stroke on a Labor Day masterpiece was his 11th birdie, more than enough to win the Deutsche Bank Championship. The question is whether it was enough to make him a last-minute pick for the Ryder Cup. Hoffman ran off four straight birdies early to erase a four-shot deficit, seized control by holing a bunker shot on the 13th and closed with a 9under 62 on the TPC Boston for a five-shot victory over Geoff Ogilvy, Jason Day and Luke Donald. Tiger Woods had three rounds in the 60s for the first time this year. He closed with a 69 to tie for 11th, and kept his No. 1 ranking in the world when Phil Mickelson imploded again. Mickelson needed only to finish fourth to become No. 1 for the first time in his career. Instead, he opened the back nine with a triple bogey and shot 76 to finish 15 shots behind in a tie for 25th. Hoffman moved from No. 59 to No. 2 in the FedEx Cup standings. That puts him in all four majors next year. U.S. Ryder Cup captain Corey Pavin will make his four selections this morning in New York. The frontrunners are Woods, Zach Johnson and Stewart Cink, with no one standing out as the fourth choice. Hoffman tied the tournament record at 22-under 262, winning his second career PGA Tour title. The top 70 in the standings advance to the BMW Championship, which starts Thursday.

McEnroe resigns as U.S. Davis Cup captain NEW YORK (AP) — Patrick McEnroe resigned as U.S. Davis Cup captain after 10 years on Monday and will leave after the Americans’ playoff against Colombia this month. McEnroe led the United States to a Davis Cup title in 2007. But for the first time since 2005, the Americans must win in the playoffs to secure a spot in the top tier of the Davis Cup. The title in 2007 was the Americans’ first since 1995, ending the longest drought in U.S. Davis Cup history. McEnroe’s record is 16-9, second only to Tom Gorman’s 18 wins.

Panthers add Mercurio to baseball staff
HIGH POINT – The High Point University baseball team has added Joe Mercurio as a volunteer assistant coach, head coach Craig Cozart announced Monday. Mercurio was an All-Conference catcher at the University of Maine and spent last summer coaching the Glens Fall Golden Eagles in the New York Collegiate Baseball League. “We are very excited to have Joe join our staff,” Cozart said. “We have known him for many years as we recruited him out of high school and we are happy he is beginning his college coaching career with us at High Point University. He comes from a tremendous family with a long history of being involved in baseball at various levels and he will be a great addition to our staff.” Mercurio will serve as the first base coach this season while working with the outfielders. He will also work with associate head coach Bryan Peters and assistant coach Rich Wallace as a hitting coach. Mercurio will be in charge of the team’s travel and daily maintenance of the program while helping to further the Panther Baseball Camps. “I am really excited to have the opportunity to coach at High Point University,” Mercurio said. “Coach Cozart has a great staff here and I will be able to learn a lot from them.” Mercurio was a three-year member of the Maine baseball team after playing his freshman year at Illinois. In his senior season he hit .363 with 12 home runs as the team’s everyday catcher. He was a two-time America East Player of the Week and earned All-Conference and All-Tournament honors.

U.S. ROUTS ANGOLA
---
ISTANBUL (AP) – Before it can win a world championship, the United States needed to start looking like a world champion. Kevin Durant, Chauncey Billups and the rest of the Americans finally had that appearance Monday, powering into the quarterfinals with a 121-66 victory over Angola. With Billups scoring 16 of his 19 points and Durant all of his 17 in the first half, the Americans saved their most impressive performance in Istanbul for the elimination stage, overwhelming the Angolans from the start after a couple of lackluster performances to close the group stage. Joaquim Gomes, who played at Valparaiso, scored 21 for Angola, which finished fourth in Group A. for the World Yacht Clippers during the summers from 2007-2010. Mercurio has experience working camps as well, having coached at the Collegiate League Baseball Camps, the University of Maine Youth Camps and the Dynamite Diamonds Baseball Camp in Brewster, N.Y. Mercurio earned his bachelor’s degree in Communications from Maine in May 2010. Mercurio’s younger brother Mike is a sophomore on HPU’s baseball team.

BALTIMORE (AP) — Kenny Tate stopped Ricky Dobbs at the goal line with 34 seconds left, and Maryland stunned in-state rival Navy 1714 on Monday to break a seven-game losing streak that began last October. The Midshipmen (0-1) held the ball for nearly 19 minutes longer than Maryland (0-1) and outgained the Terrapins by
more than 200 yards. But in a game influenced by untimely turnovers and huge penalties, the outcome was decided on a gritty goal-line stand. Trailing 17-14 with a fourth down at the 1, Navy decided to go for the win. Dobbs took the snap, went to his left and was met by Tate, who would not relent to the momentum Dobbs brought to the line.

EU ministers consider new bank levy BRUSSELS (AP) – European Union finance ministers are set to discuss the possibility of introducing a levy on banks and whether a tax on financial transactions can deal with another banking crisis, as they gather Tuesday in an atmosphere more benign than when they last met in July. Worries about the European economy and its ability to deal with large amounts of government debt have been eased by a run of better than expected economic data, progress
by Greece in strengthening its bailed-out government finances and the results of stress tests on 91 of the EU’s banks. The most apocalyptic scenarios openly discussed a few months ago, such as the collapse of the euro currency, have been put on the back burner. But policymakers remain wary that the government debt crisis could flare up again, particularly as the 16 governments that use the euro are set to issue more debt this month
than they did in August in a continuing test of how bond narkets view government finances. Any signs of EU disunity or discord could trigger another bout of investor unease. That could lead to market borrowing costs spiking again, which would government financial troubles even worse. Top of the agenda will be the first discussions among finance ministers from all 27 EU member countries on the possible introduction of a bank
levy and a separate tax on financial transactions, as governments try to find a way to protect against another banking crisis. The euro group ministers convene afterwards. “We all agree on the need to have credible sanctions,” said Olli Rehn, European Commissioner for Economic and Monetary Affairs. The leaders of the EU agreed at their June summit that bank levies should be introduced but technical issues, such as
how the tax will be imposed and what the proceeds will be used for, need to be ironed out. The leaders did not issue any guidelines on the transactions tax, which is often called the Tobin tax after the Nobel Prize laureate James Tobin who first made the proposal in the 1970s. Proponents of the measures argue that they will curb excessive risk-taking and place the financial burden of any rescue package on financial
institutions themselves instead of the taxpayer. During the financial crisis, governments across the EU provided financial institutions public support worth an astonishing 16.5 percent of the union’s total worth. The ministers are also set to approve a financial oversight structure that should anticipate financial crises and contain the excessive risks that have been blamed for the global financial crisis of the past two years.
Delta begins service to Liberia

Hewlett Packard CEO Mark Hurd gestures during a keynote address at the 2006 Oracle World conference in a San Francisco. Hurd resigned from the company last month in the wake of a sexual harassment investigation.
Ousted HP exec in talks for Oracle job MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
SAN FRANCISCO – Mark Hurd, ousted a month ago as chief executive of Hewlett-Packard Co., the world’s largest computer maker, is being considered for the No. 2 job at software giant Oracle Corp. Although the details are still being finalized, Hurd is likely to join his longtime friend and sometime tennis partner Larry Ellison, the outspoken CEO of Oracle who blasted HP for the move, according to several people knowledgeable about the discussions. In an e-mail sent to The New
York Times three days after Hurd’s resignation on Aug.6, Ellison called HP’s move “the worst personnel decision since the idiots on the Apple board fired Steve Jobs many years ago.” Hurd had been credited with nearly doubling HP’s market value to $100 billion and surpassing IBM Corp. in annual revenue during his five-year term at the Palo Alto company. But his record became tarnished after a contractor working for HP accused him of sexual harassment against him, and the company found that some of his expense reports were inaccurate. An investigation conducted
by an outside law firm hired by HP found no evidence of sexual harassment, and Hurd reportedly settled with the contractor, Jodie Fisher. The company said it had discovered the expense-account irregularities as it was investigating the woman’s sexual harassment claim. Exactly what title Hurd would have at the software company was not disclosed. Oracle already has two presidents working under Ellison: Safra Catz and Charles Phillips. Calls to Oracle officials and to Hurd’s home in Atherton, Calif., were not returned. Hurd, who worked at NCR Corp. for 25 years
prior to joining HP, has a reputation for being a skillful, hands-on manager with a knack for running highly efficient operations. Since his resignation from HP, Hurd reportedly has received a number of job offers from public companies and private equity firms. As an executive who typically shuns the spotlight, Hurd is a contrast to Ellison, who is regarded in Silicon Valley as brash and flamboyant, but with a keen eye for talent. Hurd would bring to the table knowledge of running a company that makes industrial grade computers on which Oracle’s business software runs.
MONROVIA, Liberia (AP) – Delta Air Lines Inc. has launched a new flight from the U.S. to Liberia, becoming the first American carrier to serve the West African nation that is recovering from more than a decade of civil war. A statement issued Sunday by Delta says flights will operate weekly between Monrovia and Delta’s hub in Atlanta with a stop in Accra, Ghana. Before the outbreak of the conflict, major airlines like Pan American World Airways, Air France and even the Concorde flew directly to Liberia. The country was shattered during 11 years of onand-off fighting starting with a 1989 coup led by warlord Charles Taylor, who is now on trial at the Hague. Taylor was forced out of the country in 2003 and a peace deal brought an end to the fighting. Elections held two years later marked the start of a turnaround under the leadership of President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, a Harvard graduate and former World Bank economist.
Union protests Del Monte decision with pineapple toss PHILADELPHIA (AP) – Dock workers tossed pineapples into the Delaware River in Philadelphia to protest Del Monte’s decision to move its produce operations to a less costly port. The fruit-tossing by members of the International Longshoremen’s Association
DILBERT
came at the end of a citywide Labor Day parade on Monday. The Philadelphia Inquirer reports the group will lose 200 to 300 jobs when Del Monte Fresh Produce Co. shifts its cargo from union ports across the river in Camden, N.J., to nearby Gloucester Terminals LLC.
Gloucester Terminals is privately owned and pays workers less. Leo Holt, whose family runs the Gloucester facility, has said Del Monte needed a more modern terminal with appropriate capacity. The company did not immediately return a call for comment.

Craigslist bans sex ads, but online prostitution still strong NEW YORK (AP) – Craiglist’s “adult services� section has been shut down in the U.S., but prostitution on the Internet is alive and well – even, quite possibly, on Craigslist. Users of the website and its CEO grouse that the Internet is still full of sites where people can find prostitutes. As for the massive online classifieds site itself, many personal ads, which remain on the site, appear to be thinly veiled solicitations of sex for sale. State attorneys general had pressed Craigslist to do more to block potentially illegal ads promoting prostitution, and hailed the company’s decision to take down its adult services section on Saturday. But like other illegal online activities targeted with prosecution or lawsuits, including gambling, child pornography and unauthorized music downloads, shutting down one outlet simply sends many users running to others. John Palfrey, a Harvard University law professor and co-director of the Berkman Center for Internet and Society, said the move from Craigslist was still a victory.

A hurricane watch was issued for the area from Rio San Fernando, Mexico, northward to Baffin Bay in Texas. The cattle-ranching region is one the most dangerous in Mexico’s turf war between two drug cartels. It is the same area 72 migrants were killed two weeks ago in what it believed to be Mexico’s worst
drug gang massacre to date. Mexican emergency officials urged people living in low-lying coastal areas to move to shelters, but there were no immediate evacuation plans. “We urge the general population to be on alert for possible floods and mudslides,� said Salvador Trevino, director of civil defense of Tamaulipas state, where Matamoros is located. On the Texas coast, emergency officials readied pumping equipment and distributed sandbags in Cameron County.
