Superintendent says literacy is No. 1 issue. 1B

BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

THOMASVILLE – The Thomasville Board of Education has approved school improvement plans for all of its schools.

The board voted unanimously last week to approve the plans after hearing presentations from the principals of Liberty Drive Elementary, Thomasville Primary, Thomasville High and Thomasville Middle.

Deboy Beamon, principal of Thomasville High, said his staff is working to increase the number of ninth-graders who pass Algebra I and English I, decrease the number of student referrals for discipline, and reduce the amount of performance gap between African-Americans, Caucasian and Hispanic students.

“There are a lot of pieces that will go into those three goals,” Beamon said. “Those are the three mains.

The main one is the gap. I don’t think there is a reason for a gap.”

Matthew Pugh, assistant principal at Thomasville Middle, said his school’s plan includes improving math, reading and science proficiency scores by 10 percent and providing a safe climate. He said administration has shuffled some teachers around to help in other areas.

“We were really strong last year in eighth-grade math and have been strong for several years,” Pugh said. “One thing we’ve done this year is we have tried to encourage collaboration between grade levels, so our eighth-grade math people aren’t just in isolation on the eighth-grade hall. They are working with sixth-, seventhgrade folks. We have even shifted some people around, getting some people outside of their comfort zones, putting them at times in a different subject area to enhance them and give them a better challenge and sometimes a different grade level.”

Pugh said one of the major goals for his school is providing a safe climate at Thomasville Middle. “When you engage students in a classroom and everybody is responsible for learning, then I think you tend to have a safer school,” he said.

Liberty Drive Principal Benjie Brown said his school’s major goals are to improve reading, math and science scores. One of the main target areas for improvement at Thomasville Primary is reading, said Principal Paula Gaylord. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

Conservatives have sales tax message for commissioners

BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – A group of conservatives want to talk to commissioners Thursday about a Nov. 2 sales tax hike referendum.

The Guilford County Board of Commissioners voted 9-1 last month to put the question on the referendum ballot for the third time. The board will continue discussions during a 5:30 p.m. meeting in the Old Courthouse in Greensboro.

The group Conservatives for Guilford County, which has no official leader, has lobbied commissioners for weeks to reduce county spending instead of raising the sales tax to pay off county debt. Voters declined twice, by 2-1 and 3-1 margins, in 2008 to increase the tax by a quarter-cent to 8 percent on general sales purchases.

“The county should cut spending just as most households have done during the last three years,” said Isabella Adkins, a Greensboro restaurant owner. “We are pretty sure that our federal taxes will go up next year by as much as 10 percent. We will probably have to stop growing if that happens.”

County earns top grade for size of work force. 1B Point voted against the referendum acting on his longtime pledge to “minimize” taxes.

Meanwhile, several commissioners have said they support asking voters to pay more for debt reduction.

“This is a way to generate revenue,” Democratic Commissioner John Parks of High Point said last month.

In 2008, voters approved $457 million on bonds for school construction projects, $79.5 million for Guilford Technical Community College projects and $115 million for the downtown Greensboro jail annex.

“The $12 million in additional sales tax will pay hardly anything compared to the $60 million deficit the county has,” Adkins said. “The county will have to raise the property tax next year to make up the difference.”

Responding to the harsh economy, commissioners have not raised the property tax in two years and have cut budgets. The county’s debt is expected to peak at $1.2 billion.

General obligation debt in fiscal years 2011-16 will grow to 18

nearly two months ago.

The report in July followed positive comments that Graf made in midJune with the release of FedEx’s fourth quarter and previous fiscal year earnings.

“We expect continued improvement in both revenue and earnings in fiscal 2011,” Graf said, referring to the current FedEx fiscal year. “Resumed growth in industrial production and global trade is increasing demand for our transportation services.”

PTIA Executive Director Ted Johnson said he’s confident employment and business at the mid-Atlantic hub will grow when the economy rebounds.

“FedEx is here, and they’ve got the potential to grow that facility. I think that FedEx is poised to grow with what the economy does,” Johnson said.

The hub and PTIA expansion already has had a major impact on the economy during the construction phase in the past six years. The morethan-$500 million project created between 1,000 and 1,500 constructionrelated jobs, said PTIA Assistant Director Kevin Baker. The contractors for the FedEx hub building alone had more than 500 workers at one time, Baker said. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

In this July 23, 2007 file photo, firemen investigate a burned area of the home of Dr. William Petit Jr., in Cheshire, Conn. Intruders broke into the home and held the family hostage for several hours before setting the house on fire. Dr. Petit was severely beaten, and his wife and two daughters were killed. A trial begins today in New Haven, Conn., Superior Court for Steven Hayes, one of two men charged with the crimes.

Connecticut man’s trial to open in fatal home invasion NEW HAVEN, Conn.

(AP) – They were a model family living in an affluent suburb. William Petit was a prominent doctor. His daughter was on her way to Dartmouth, hoping to follow in his footsteps. His wife had multiple sclerosis and the family was active in efforts to raise money to fight the disease.

But a chance encounter with a career criminal at a supermarket in July 2007 destroyed the family, authorities say.

Joshua Komisarjevsky (koh-mih-sar-JEV’-skee) spotted Jennifer HawkePetit and her two daughters at the store and followed them home, then returned later with his friend Steven Hayes and together they severely beat Petit and killed his wife and daughters, authorities say.

The crime drew comparisons to “In Cold Blood,” Truman Capote’s chilling book about

the 1959 murders of a Kansas family. It prompted a special session of the legisHayes lature and spurred more residents to buy guns.

Hayes heads to trial this week.

Both defendants have offered to plead guilty in exchange for life sentences, but prosecutors, seeking the death penalty for both, pushed for trials, defense attorneys said, forcing the state to revisit the unsettling crime and its lone survivor to relive it in the courtroom.

“It left the state shocked and people feeling vulnerable in the sense that it happened in a town where violence rarely occurs and it happened in a way that shook civilization, people’s idea of civilization,” said Rich Hanley,

Dr. Petit is scheduled to testify early in the trial, which is expected to last about a month. After a recent court hearing, he said he welcomed hearing the names of his wife and daughters in court.

“Most of the process tends to be one of depersonalization,” Petit said.

“I was actually pleased to hear their names to show it was personal, they were people, living people. They can’t be there to give their side of the events.”

‘Jaws’ Chestnut becomes burrito-eating champ ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) – Competitive eater Joey Chestnut is now king of the burrito.

RALEIGH (AP) – North Carolina’s big victory in President Barack Obama’s “Race to the Top” grant competition has charter school boosters playing from behind again in the state’s latest round of education reform.

Charter school advocates warned Gov. Beverly Perdue and lawmakers in January that the state’s chances of landing hundreds of millions of dollars to carry out a plan to improve teacher quality, student performance and career preparation would be slim unless the state’s 100charter cap in place since 1996 was lifted and funding disparities eliminated.

North Carolina’s application scored well off the pace set by the two winning states in March, and its poor marks for charter schools – public schools run by independent boards and exempt from many regulations traditional schools must follow to try new techniques or focus on at-risk children – had much to do with its low ranking among the finalists.

Championship were stuffed with beef, beans and the state’s famous green chile.

The event is sanctioned by the Major League Eating & International Federation of Competitive Eating, the world body that oversees all international professional eating contests.

ButNorth Carolina was one of nine states that won in the second round late last month Perdue in part because of state law changes pushed by Perdue to create “charter-like” schools, while avoiding the cap issue, according to an analysis of scores and comments by the application reviewers.

As state educators go to Washington later this week to work out exactly how much of the $400 million sought will be received, the charter school community is flummoxed about how North Carolina won.

“I see it as a step backward for North Carolina for true educational reform,” said Darrell Allison with Parents for Educational Freedom in North Carolina.

State schools Superintendent June Atkinson said North Carolina won because its application improved over the first round.

Our children, grandchildren will pay for ‘change’ When reading The Associated Press reports on President Obama’s assault in Milwaukee on Republicans for causing Americans’ hard economic times, I see just another rant blaming Bush and the Republicans for his own failures. The Democrats have been in charge of Congress for almost four years and he, the head of state, for almost two.

Now another $50 billion to create jobs! The bailouts and the stimulus packages were sold to us claiming to create more jobs and jump start the economy. What happened?

Soon there will be thousands of military personnel coming home.

Where will these veterans find work? America needs to stop the flow of immigrants, both legal and illegal, to protect whatever jobs are available as presidents previously did.

We need to protect our borders and deport all illegals. The proposed $40 billion for creating jobs could be used for the deportation.

As an alternative, use the $20.3 million, as passed by HB1388 and allocated by presidential executive order. This order will be a burden on the U.S. taxpayer. It will support Hamas and it will be the beginning of an endless taxpayer subsidy for expenses of all Palestinian immigrants in the U.S. We must tell the president it is time to stop being the world’s president and concentrate on the United States of America, which he seems to hate.

I pray that Republicans, Democrats and Independents remember the change promised and accomplished by Barack Hussein Obama. Their children and grandchildren will pay dearly for this change.

God protect America.

Numbers don’t add up in Guilford sheriff’s race Recently, I received a campaign letter from Sheriff BJ Barnes.

One item was interesting, his claim of a 46 percent reduction of crime for the sheriff’s office. He just threw out that number with no qualification.

I went to the SBI website that deals with crime rates and other related statistics. For the sheriff the Index Crime Rate is down 12.8 percent 2008 to 2009; it’s down 4.6 percent comparing the five-year average to 2009. There’s lots of numbers to play with on the SBI website but I can’t find any

combination that shows that he caused a 46 percent reduction in crime. You can compare his performance to the statewide rates which are down 9.1 percent and 5.1 percent respectively.

I don’t believe I am the only one frustrated with elected officials providing false or misleading information. That it is election time is no excuse for that. Barnes has been sheriff for 16 years, and it shows in his attitude. Phil Wadsworth would be a breath of fresh air for our hardworking sheriff employees and the average citizens of this county.

Qubein is right about public officials’ commitment I’ve been stirred during early morning meetings, but never to the degree I was on Sept. 9 as guest of High Point University President Nido Qubein on the campus. I was stirred emotionally by the resolve and passion of Qubein as he cited statistics of national proportion achieved

by High Point University in five short years. And I was also validated in my conviction that High Point University is the lynchpin toward revitalizing our city’s long-term economic engine.

How can this be? Name any thriving U.S. city in America that does not have an equally thriving university of higher learning. Name the first place

you take visitors to tour our city when you want to “show off High Point.” And name any employer in High Point that has doubled its employee count over the last few years at an average salary far exceeding the national average.

The HPU success story is no accident. Rising at 4 a.m. to start his day, Qubein demands just as much from HPU employees as he gives of himself. This “speed of the leader” management style guarantees high performance and measured results.

As our breakfast meeting concluded, Qubein extended some friendly words of caution to our group of candidates for public office in November. “No one seeking election or re-election to a public office in High Point should be taken seriously unless they are defiantly in love with the community they wish to serve.”

Wow! This week, Qubein is making yet another major announcement surrounding the future plans of High Point’s university. As a High Point native and community leader, I value being able to call Qubein a dear friend. And I am inspired by his call for us all to be “defiantly in love” with the community we choose to serve.

OUR MISSION

Out of the media muck, lunatics often arise B

y the time you read this, Terry Jones will have burned the Quran.

Or not.

At deadline time, Jones’ socalled “International Burn The Quran Day” – also known as Sept.

11, 2010, the ninth anniversary of the terrorist attacks – was on hold. He said he’d reached an agreement with Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf not to go through with plans to make a bonfire of Qurans if Rauf would cancel plans to build a mosque near ground zero.

Rauf said this was news to him, whereupon Jones said he’d now have to “rethink” whether to go ahead with the burning.

And there it stood as of Friday: People in Muslim capitals from Indonesia to Egypt to Afghanistan, editors of every newspaper from the New York Times to the Irish Times to The Miami Herald to the Syndey (Australia) Morning Herald, al-Jazeera, CNN, Fox News, Gen. David Petraeus, Defense Secretary Robert Gates, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and President Barack Obama himself, all waiting at tiptoe stance to see what Terry Jones would do.

There is something more than a little ludicrous about that.

Maybe you know the term “terrorist veto.” It refers to the ability of a sinOPINION gle obscure malcontent, powerless but Leonard for his willingness Pitts to sacrifice lives, to ■■■ make himself heard at the highest level of geopolitics and force his way upon the international stage.

As this case makes oppressively clear, the Internet and the 24-hour news cycle have evolved an analog to the terrorist veto.

Call it the idiot veto – the ability of a single obscure malcontent, powerless but for his willingness to do some outrageous thing, to make himself heard at the highest level of geopolitics and force his way upon the international stage.

Two weeks ago, no one had ever heard of Jones, podunk pastor of a tiny church – 50 members – in Gainesville, Fla. Twenty years ago, his proclaimed intention to burn the Quran “might” have

gotten him a few minutes on the rump end of the local TV newscast.

But that was before mass media exploded and every one of us became a news purveyor unto him or herself. Jones’ bigoted idiocy – and yes, he has a constitutional right to be a bigoted idiot – has won him worldwide attention out of all proportion to any intrinsic significance of the man himself. As one Muslim leader noted Thursday night, Jones has more cameras following him than church members.

If the stakes were not so high, if his threatened action did not portend international riots, increase the danger to American troops, and jeopardize the nation’s global standing, the whole thing would be downright laughable. And the funniest part would be that we did this to ourselves.

There is an enduring human conceit which holds that improved communication equals improved understanding equals peace. That conceit is as old as the folks who wondered how there could be a Civil War since North and South were linked by telegraph, and as modern as the

Ellen Page commercial for Cisco Systems where children in the United States video chat with kids in China.

Our faith in communication to bring people together has occasionally been validated; think of how cellphone video of a dying woman named Neda brought the world to the side of Iranian protesters.

But often, that faith seems naive, if not misplaced. Mass media are omnivorous and uncritical, magnifying the bizarre and deservedly obscure until history itself spins on the whims of any lone lunatic who is willing to be crazy enough.

We have yet to figure a way to embrace the promise of new media but avoid the pitfalls. Until we do, we will always be vulnerable to the ability of that lunatic to hold the whole world hostage.

Our attention is the only weapon he needs.

Prosecutor ready to release female hiker TEHRAN, Iran – After a power struggle within Iran’s conservative leadership put her freedom in doubt, an American woman arrested more than a year ago along the Iraq border is on the verge of heading home. Her two companions, however, could be on their way to spy trials.

Sarah Shourd could be released in the “next two or three days� – or even sooner – after $500,000 bail is paid, said Masoud Shafiei, the Iranian lawyer for Shourd and the other detained Americans.

2 killed in Afghan anti-Quran-burning protest KABUL, Afghanistan – Two protesters died and four were injured as Afghans protested for a third day Sunday against a plan by an American pastor to burn copies of the Islamic holy book, despite his decision to call off the action.

Mohammad Rahim Amin, chief of the Baraki Barak district in eastern Logar province, said the deaths and injuries occurred when Afghan soldiers opened fire on hundreds of protesters who were trying to storm the local government headquarters.

Rights group details prisoner abuse in Iraq BAGHDAD – Detainees in Iraqi prisons and jails often go years without trial, face widespread torture and abuse, and have little access to their families or legal help, an international human rights group said today.

The report by the London-based Amnesty International raises disturbing questions about the future of Iraqi justice at a critical juncture – after the U.S. military has handed over almost all prison responsibilities to Iraq’s government.

Setback in mine rescue, but no delay seen SANTIAGO, Chile – Chile’s mining minister acknowledged that a problem has stalled the most advanced of three tunnels being drilled to 33 miners trapped underground and said officials might have to restart the bore hole in another location.

JERUSALEM (AP) – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday that the current restrictions on West Bank settlements will not remain in place, though there will still be some limits on construction.

Israel’s 10-month freeze on new housing starts in West Bank settlements expires at the end of this month and is a key point of contention in newly launched peace talks with the Palestinians. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has threatened repeatedly to quit the talks if

Israel does not renew the restrictions.

Netanyahu told Mideast envoy Tony Blair, “the Palestinians demand that after Sept. 26, there will be zero building� in the West Bank. “That will not happen,� Netanyahu said.

Israel will not build “tens of thousands of housing units that are in the pipeline, but we will not freeze the lives of the residents.�

He did not provide details or timelines, but his statement means the ban on new housing starts would be at least partially lifted.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu attends the weekly cabinet meeting in Jerusalem, Sunday.

Netanhayu said that peace will be possible only if the Palestinian leadership agrees to recognize Israel as a Jewish state.

Tobin: Literacy is No. 1 priority

BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

THOMASVILLE – For the 2010-11 school year, increased focuses in parental involvement and literacy are among the systemwide goals for Thomasville City Schools.

Keith Tobin, the system’s superintendent, presented his goals last week to the Thomasville Board of Education.

Tobin’s goals are in line with the goals set by the State Board of Education.

He said the goals focus on creating globally competitive students, 21st century professionTobin als, healthy and responsible students, 21st century systems and leadership for innovation.

“What we are going to do is look at all those areas and make sure we are doing what we need to do to move our system forward,” Tobin said. “One

B

of the things that I want to make sure we are emphasizing is reading, our literacy initiative.”

Tobin said literacy is a top focus of the system.

He said it’s important for all students to be reading at grade level.

“We want to make sure we are doing what we have to do to make sure we are getting to the point our kids can read,” he said.

“If they can read, they can do math. If they can read, they can do social studies. If they can read,

they can do science. If they can read, they can do everything across the board, so our focus on literacy is very important.”

For the system to move forward, it will need the help of parents, Tobin said. He noted the fact that school officials recently launched a task force to find ways to increase parental involvement.

“We want to bring parents in to see why it’s important for you to be involved in your child’s education and why you

need to be here,” Tobin said. “There’s a lot of folks involved in this parental summit thing. We want to make sure we focus on parents and get them involved.”

While discussing his goals for the system, Tobin also said he is big on building relationships.

“I think if you can get a child to believe they care about you or you care about them, they will perform,” he said. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

GUILFORD COUNTY – Guilford County has one report card “A” that may make conservatives feel better.

The county received the A from the John W. Pope Civitas Institute conservative research group for controlling county government growth. The grade was the best among neighboring Triad counties.

The study compared the changes in the number of county government employees to the changes in the county’s population from 2000 to 2009 in each of North Carolina’s 100 counties. Guilford received the A for reducing the number of employees by 4.7 percent as population grew 13 percent during the decade. Through the decade, county staff shrank from 2,760 employees to 2,562.

Davidson County experienced an 8.9 percent population increase while increasing county employee growth 13.1 percent. For Randolph, the county workforce grew by 15 percent while county population grew 9 percent. Both counties received C grades.

Only 13 counties reduced staffs while population increased to receive A grades.

Among the others were Burke, Catawba, and Stokes. Seven counties that cut staff while populations declined received a B grade. “Especially in light of the current economic crisis, elected officials throughout North Carolina need to take a cue from those counties who are successfully doing more with less,” stated the report, which was written by Brian Balfour.

“Doing more with less” has been the motto of Guilford County Board of Commissioners Chairman Skip Alston for the last two years as county leaders trimmed staffs, cut budgets and stabilized the property tax rate. Those decisions have weighed on commissioners who favor adding a sales tax hike referendum to the Nov. 2 ballot.

“We have cut and cut and not raised the property tax,” Republican Commissioner Linda Shaw said last month during the board’s voting. “This gives people the right to vote on it.”

Statewide, the number of county government workers grew 13 percent from 2000 to 2009 while the statewide population growth rate was 16 percent and private sector employment dropped 3.7 percent. dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

HIGH POINT – Guilford Technical Community College officials and city and Guilford County leaders will gather Thursday to dedicate a new classroom building.

The $8 million project is the fifth building for the campus at 901 S. Main St. The ceremonies will start at 9:30 a.m. Thursday.

The building will help solve a space crunch, according to Janette McNeill, dean of the High Point campus.

“The opening of the new curriculum building has generated much excitement for our students, faculty and staff,” McNeill said. “The building provides a large student commons area for quiet study between class-

He is survived by his parents, Dr. and Mrs. Todd Engstrom; his sister, Lauren Engstrom; his grandmothers, Julie Engstrom (Delray Beach, FL and Spruce Pine, NC) and Marie Parrish (Trinity, NC); his aunts and uncles, Kirk and Mary Jo Engstrom (Davie, FL), Charles Anna and Sonny Koontz (Thomasville, NC), and Alexa and Barr Wheeler (Tavernier, FL); and numerous cousins.

We are grateful that although brief, Ryan’s life was rich and rewarding.

An adventurer at heart, he traveled extensively in North America, studied for a semester in Sweden, and made numerous trips to Europe and the Caribbean, including dental mission trips with his dad to Ecuador and Honduras. Ryan also loved to cook and was especially famous for his gourmet filets. The only thing that Ryan loved more than cooking and traveling was cheering on the Tar Heels. He had attended Carolina basketball games since he was two years old, and some of the first words he learned to say were “Go, Heels!” Although Ryan’s family and friends remember him for all these passions, they remember him most of all for his kindness, his concern for others, and his gentleness of spirit. He was a young man who kept friends forever, from elementary school on up. He brought tremendous joy to all who knew and loved him.

Ryan’s family will receive friends at BrownWynne Funeral Home, 300 St. Mary’s Street, Raleigh, from 2 to 4 pm on Sunday, September 12. A memorial service will be held at 2 pm on Monday, September 13, at Ryan’s church: University Presbyterian Church, 209 East Franklin Street, Chapel Hill. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Dental Foundation of North Carolina/Ryan Engstrom Memorial, 101A Market Street, Campus Box 7451, Chapel Hill, NC 275997451.

Civil rights museum won’t reach attendance goal GREENSBORO (AP) – A recent report on attendance at a new civil rights museum shows that despite widespread publicity, fewer than 6 percent of the visitors to the facility are from beyond North Carolina and neighboring states.

The News and Record of Greensboro reported Sunday that the first six months of the International Civil Rights Center & Museum in Greensboro saw about 40,000 people come through its doors. Organizers had estimated the facility would draw 200,000 visitors a year.

Fewer than 3,000 of those visitors came from beyond North Carolina,

South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.

“We’ve just started,” said Melvin “Skip” Alston, chairman of the museum’s management committee and the Guilford County Board of Commissioners. “Three or four years, once we get it all together, then that’s when we’ll be averaging 200,000 a year.”

More than 80 percent of the museum’s visitors have been from North Carolina and more than half of those were Greensboro, High Point or Winston-Salem residents.

The museum’s annual budget is about $3 million. No public money is used for daily operations.

A Marine stationed at Camp Lejeune faces two counts of armed robbery in connection with two bank heists in Madison County, Ga. Pfc. Mark Alexander Davis, 20, was arrested

by Madison County deputies and agents from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation on Thursday, authorities said.

He was training at Fort Bragg in Fayetteville when military police detained him in the bank robbery investigation, said Jim Fullington, special agent in charge of the GBI’s Athens office.

Investigators found items during a search at Davis’ Camp Lejeune residence that linked him to the two robberies, Fullington said.

“Law enforcement officials are not releasing details about what evidence they found,” he said.

New arts center opens in Winston-Salem MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

AP

Double-stacked cargo containers sit on a stopped Norfolk Southern train at Cowan Tunnel (left) in Pulaski County, Va. The tunnel was one of 28 in the Appalachian Mountains that were modified and enlarged for the railroads celebrated Heartland Corridor route through Virginia to the Midwestern United States.

Norfolk Southern opens new route through Appalachians THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Norfolk Southern Corp. on Thursday ran its first train loaded with doublestacked cargo containers through some of the most rugged parts of the Appalachian Mountains, opening a $191 million route made possible by an ambitious tunnel-expansion project.

The company raised the heights of 28 tunnels along an old coal route, creating a more direct path for bigger freight trains to travel from an international shipping port in Norfolk, Va., to a transfer terminal in Columbus, Ohio. The trip is now shorter by 250 miles – and 24 hours.

Norfolk Southern and rival CSX Corp. want to maximize the amount of consumer goods they can haul on a single train as they compete with the trucking industry to take more freight from the East Coast to the Midwest. They’re also preparing for the 2015 expansion of the Panama Canal, which will make it easier for Asian freight to reach eastern U.S. cities.

Railroads are considered gauges of the nation’s broader economic health because they carry a wide range of goods for consumers and businesses. Thursday’s Norfolk Southern train carried

150 double-stacked containers loaded with such items as televisions, computers and Christmas decorations as it rumbled through the mountains of Virginia, West Virginia and up into the hills of southern Ohio.

Norfolk Southern put up $97.8 million for the three-year project, while the federal government added $83.3 million. Ohio and Virginia chipped in $9.8 million.

“This is a remarkable achievement, and it marks a notable date in transportation history,” Norfolk Southern CEO Wick Moorman said. “Together we have shown

Restaurant gadabout leaves friend alone at table

D

ear Abby My friend “Brooke” knows everyone in town. It creates a huge distraction when we dine in a restaurant because she is constantly looking around to see who else she knows. When she spots someone, she leaves me sitting at the table to go and say hello to the person.

If this happened once, it would be acceptable.

But it occurs continually throughout the meal and interrupts our conversation. The fact that Brooke is constantly scouting the room for others to greet makes meaningful conversation impossible because her mind is never fully present.

I have reached the point of no longer wanting to dine with her although she is a good friend. How would you recommend resolving this? – Alone At The Table, Las Cruces, N.M. Dear Alone At The Table: Have a frank talk with Brooke, and explain how her rudeness has made you feel. If her behavior continues, then socialize with her in places where there are no distractions – like her home or yours.

She may be insecure and feel a compulsion to ingratiate herself with others, but constantly leaving you alone at

the table shows lack of consideration for your feelings. Also, I find it curious that ADVICE all those people she Dear knows do Abby not come ■■■ by your table to greet her – and possibly be introduced, don’t you?

Dear Abby I work with a nice woman in a service-oriented job. She wears a full set of dentures – top and bottom.

When she’s nervous, she has a habit of “clicking” and adjusting them. It gets worse when she’s had an energy drink.

Personally, I can ignore it. But I have heard comments from customers and co-workers who wonder if she’s “on something” – like speed.

Should I tell her what people are saying or suggest she use a product to help keep the dentures in place? I would hate for her reputation to be ruined because of this nervous habit. – Caring Co-worker in Iowa

Dear Abby I purchased some things at an estate sale. Later, while looking in a piece of luggage, I found a gold watch (with an appraisal of $7,000 that was in the same box) and a string of pearls.

What is the proper thing to do in a situation like this? The estate people are long gone, but there was a name on the appraisal. I tried doing a search on the Internet, but can’t locate the person. Will I have bad karma if I keep these items? This person must have family somewhere.

what can be accomplished when the right partners work together for the right goals.”

Manufacturers, and ultimately consumers, will save money because double-stacked trains can reduce shipping costs about $500 per cargo container, said James Blaze, who studies rail economics at Zeta-Tech Associates Inc., a transportation consulting firm in Cherry Hill, N.J. Their use can also take commercial truck traffic off highways, he said.

A fully loaded doublestacked train can carry the equivalent load of 280 trucks.

About 600 people were on hand Saturday to celebrate the public opening of the Milton Rhodes Center for the Arts on Spruce Street.

One of them was Milton Rhodes, for whom the center is named.

Rhodes, the chief executive and president of the Arts Council of Winston-Salem and Forsyth County, sat with his wife, Mattie, and several of his children and grandchildren.

Thousands of people were expected to visit the center during a weekend of free events that ended Sunday.

Some of Saturday’s visitors hung on a wire and, like Peter Pan, “flew” through parts of the center’s Reynolds Place.

Others visited galleries, took in a performance in the lobby by

young acting students from the Children’s Theatre of Winston-Salem and watched artist demonstrations at the center’s Sawtooth School for Visual Art. The center is the result of renovations of the Sawtooth and AC Delco buildings.

The renovations cost $11 million and were a primary goal of the arts council’s three-year $26 million campaign, which will wind up at the end of the month.

The money-raising effort has yet to cross the $26 million threshold, but Rhodes expressed confidence that it would.

Campaign officials also said that more money than expected – between $3.7 and $4 million – will be available for arts groups and artists in the new fiscal year, which starts Oct. 1.

N

ine years have passed since the attacks on our nation by radical Islamic terrorists.

Nine years later and the grounds where the 9/11 attacks occurred have changed little, leaving an open wound in the borough of Manhattan.

We’re remindFIREHOUSE ed of the CHAT horror that ocLee curred Knight every ■■■time we look at the gaping hole where the twin towers stood.

Nine years later and we still do not see a memorial to those who died or a building rising to show those who attacked us that they will never succeed in crushing liberty and freedom.

We hear there are great plans for the site, but it appears from the outside that little has been accomplished.

Basically all we have is a big hole to remind us that 2,752 innocent people died that day, including 343 New York City firefighters.

As time moves forward, I hope the issues that have slowed progress are quickly resolved and the project can move forward. It is time to honor properly those who died and to cover the scars that mark ground zero.

It seems to me that not moving forward is a win for those who attacked this nation.

Every time we now see ground zero it is a reminder of the devastation that occurred on 9/11.

To see buildings along with a memorial rise from ground zero would show the resilience of this great nation and give hope for the future.

I believe it would be one way to show those who are so intent on destruction and death that liberty and freedom will not be destroyed so easily.

It would help remind us how firefighters and citizens alike became heroes and were willing to help others in need.

It would help remind us that even with our imperfections we are the greatest nation on earth.

I think the tragedy of 9/11 will always be remembered in this country. What I really hope is that we always remember the heartache and fear we felt while watching the planes crash into the twin towers and that we never forget the bravery of all who sacrificed their lives to help others.

24/7/365: You call; we respond.

Diarrhea can be collateral damage from antibiotics

D

ear Dr. Donohue: My sister-in-law fell and broke her hip. She had a successful surgical repair. She was transferred to a nursing home for rehab. She was there for three weeks and began vomiting and had severe diarrhea.

Finally, she was transferred back to the hospital, and it was found that she had C. diff. The hospital did all it could, but she passed away. Not much is mentioned about C. diff. I am scheduled for knee surgery. How do I keep from getting this infection? – B.G.

BLONDIE

B.C.

C. difficile (pronounced “SEE DIFF-uh-seal”) is aptly named; it is a difficult bacterium. It’s the cause of antibiotic-associated colitis, an infection and inflammation of the colon. The typical story goes like this: A hospitalized patient is given antibiotics for an infection. The antibiotics kill that person’s good colon bacteria. That gives the C. diff organism a chance to multiply.

The C. diff population explodes because the good bacteria – the ones that kept C. diff in check – are gone. It’s something that the military would call collateral damage, unintended destruction of innocent people (the good bacteria) from an antibiotic.

This organism produces two toxins (poisons) that bring on diarrhea and abdominal pain. Not

everyone comes down with symptoms, and some are so mildly affected HEALTH that they are only Dr. Paul mildly ill.

Donohue Others, ■■■ however, become gravely sick, and some die.

You can’t do a whole lot to prevent this infection. The burden is on the hospital. Only recently it has been discovered that this germ can be spread through airborne particles, a surprise to everyone.

C. diff infections also can be acquired in the community, but the chief place where transmission takes place is the hospital and facilities like nursing homes.

Treatment consists in stopping the antibiotics. If that doesn’t put a halt to diarrhea, then metronidazole or vancomycin, two drugs that most people don’t recognize, often can bring matters to an end.

Don’t fear hospitalization or antibiotics. Your chances of coming down with this infection are small.

Dear Dr. Donohue: I read all the time about the risks of having a heart attack. I never see anything said about the risks for having a stroke.

What are they? I fear a

stroke more than I do a heart attack. – P.S. The risks for both are similar. They include uncontrolled high blood pressure, cigarette smoking, diabetes, high cholesterol, too little exercise, a large waist, excessive alcohol consumption and a high ratio of Apo B to Apo A-1.

This last item needs an explanation. Apo B is similar to LDL cholesterol – the bad kind of cholesterol, the kind that clogs arteries. Apo A-1 is more like HDL cholesterol – good cholesterol, the kind that keeps arteries clean. I have to admit that these tests are not usually ordered.

This subject is complicated by the fact that there are two different kinds of stroke. The more-common variety comes from obstruction of blood flow to a part of the brain from a plugged artery, like the plugged heart artery of a heart attack. The less-common variety comes from the breaking of a brain artery, something called a hemorrhagic stroke.

The two require different treatments and different approaches to prevention.

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

Meet and greet High Point Newcomers Club helps people get together for activities, fellowship

BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

IGH POINT – When Lucile Hurley moved to town from Blacksburg, Va., four years ago, she struggled to fit in.

“I was looking for an avenue to meet people, because it can be hard to meet people at my age,” the 74-year-old High

’It really is a wonderful organization. I would’ve been lost without it.’

Lucile Hurley High Point Newcomers Club Point woman says. “I was looking for people to meet and things to do.”

She found both – people and activities – through the High Point Newcomers Club, an organization dedicated to helping new residents feel at home in High Point and the surrounding area.

“We try to acquaint people with High Point, with what’s available in High Point, how to do things in High Point – and the Triad, too, but it’s mainly High Point,” says Hurley, who now serves as the group’s publicity chairwoman.

WANT TO GO?

----

The High Point Newcomers Club – a club for new residents to High Point, Jamestown and surrounding areas – will meet at 10 a.m. Tuesday at Community Bible Church, 4125 Johnson St. (enter from the back of the building).

Subsequent meetings will always be on the second Tuesday of the month.

Annual membership dues are $20, but there is no charge for newcomers to attend the meeting.

For more information about High Point Newcomers, contact Nancy Schrull, president, at 869-5148 or nschrull@the schrullgroup.com, or Sandi Aue, membership chair, at 886-2551 or theaues@ northstate.net.

“We just try to acclimate them to the area and help them make friends. That’s really the most important thing – to make friends.”

The organization also has a number of special-interest groups, focusing on such activities as books, bridge, bunko, canasta, Cuban dominoes, euchre, MahJongg, arts and crafts, going out to lunch, and taking trips.

In Hurley’s case, she really enjoys playing card games such as bridge,

pinochle and euchre, so she was thrilled to find fellow players through the club, she says.

While the High Point Newcomers Club has been around for many years, club leaders are hoping to boost membership, which currently stands at about 120 members, according to Hurley.

The club meets the second Tuesday of every month between September and May, with the first meeting taking place this week. Meetings are held at Community Bible Church on Johnson Street, and lunch typically follows the meetings.

“We always have a speaker, and then we explain our special-interest groups, we invite people to join in, and then we usually have lunch,” Hurley says.

Newcomers can come to the meeting for free, but there’s a $20 fee for membership dues if you join the organization.

Throughout the year, the club has special functions, including a picnic in September, a Christmas party in December, a Valentine’s Day party in February, and a spring fling.

“I have been involved in Newcomers in three different areas where I’ve lived, and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to do that,” Hurley says. “It really is a wonderful organization. I would’ve been lost without it.”

“Bridges of Hope,” a Hospice of Davidson County day camp for children who are grieving, will be held Sept.

25, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., at the Hospice campus in Lexington.

The camp will be facilitated by experienced professionals and has been developed for children in first through eighth grade.

Arts and crafts, music therapy, creative play and pet therapy are a few of the therapeutic and fun activities planned to help children explore and express their feelings of grief. Campers will have a picnic lunch and be joined by parents and caregivers for a closing ceremony at the end of the camp. A separate class for adults will be held in conjunction with the event.

“Bridges of Hope” was made possible through a donation from the Lexington Jaycees, as well as donations made in honor and in celebration of the marriage of Dr. and Mrs. Jonathan C. Hinson.

Registration forms can be downloaded from www. hospiceofdavid son.org, or you can register by calling (336) 4755444.

There is a $10 fee for the program, but scholarships are available.

FINESSES Wendy saw that even if South lacked the king of hearts, he might run the hearts with finesses. If he had the queen of clubs (likely), he had nine tricks when he got in.

So Wendy looked to the diamonds. The defense couldn’t take four diamonds unless Cy had the queen, so Wendy led a low diamond at Trick Two. Cy won and returned a diamond for down one.

“Did Cy say anything after your fine defense?”

I asked Wendy.

“Three words,” she sighed. “ ‘Your deal, partner.’ ”

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S 5 H A Q J 9 3 D 10 8 6 3 C A K 3. Your partner opens one club, you bid one heart and he rebids two clubs. What do you say?

ANSWER: If your partner has a suitable minimum hand, you can make six clubs. He might hold J 7 3, K 6, A Q, Q J 9 8 6 2. One option is to jump to four clubs, forcing. If he next cuebid four diamonds, you could bid six clubs. Another is to bid two diamonds, then support the clubs, describing a good hand with a singleton spade.

‘Resident Evil’ capitalizes on slow weekend NEW YORK (AP) – On a weekend that Hollywood was largely content to cede to football and late-summer barbecues, Sony-Screen Gems’ “Resident Evil: Afterlife” led the box office.

The 3-D horror film earned $27.7 million over the weekend according to studio estimates Sunday, a total that exceed-

Take care of old debts. ★★★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): If someone asks for a donation or handout, take a practical approach. Do whatever you can to improve your skills or knowledge. Getting ahead financially or professionally should be your prime concern. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): It’s important not to let your emotional vulnerability show. Uncertainty regarding a friend or younger or older relative will leave you at odds about what to do next.

Follow your intuition and keep moving. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t get angry, pushy or possessive when what’s required are understanding and compassion. Added responsibilities are apparent. As long as you express your concerns and offer alternatives and solutions you will stay in control of any situation you face. ★★★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Someone may try to play on your emotions. Gullibility will be the enemy. Spend more time learning something new, honing a skill or making changes that will help you be more successful in the future. Take advantage of any opportunity to travel. ★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Concentrate on home, family and finances and you cannot go wrong.

Communicating will be a problem and misunderstandings are likely if you don’t articulate. Stick close to home and do what’s asked of you in order to avoid unnecessary discourse. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): There is money to be made but also expenses to be paid.

Don’t let someone play on your emotions regarding finances. Offer advice and hands-on help but not your hard-earned cash. Protect your assets as well as your time. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): It’s better to separate your professional and personal life until you feel more established and secure in your position. What you do now to stabilize your financial situation will also help build your confidence, allowing you to excel. ★★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Hold on to your thoughts, ideas and comments until you have a better understanding of the situation and what is being asked of you. A creative idea can be turned into a moneymaking venture. Love is on the rise. ★★

BRIDGE “What three words does a woman most want to hear?”

Cy the Cynic, a shameless chauvinist, asked Wendy, my club’s feminist.

“That should be obvious, even to you,” Wendy said.

“Sure,” said the Cynic.

“They’re ‘I’ll clean up.’ ” I think “Well done, partner” may run a close third. In today’s deal, Cy led the jack of spades against 3NT, and Wendy, East, pondered. To take the ace and return a spade looked obvious, but South’s bid of 2NT had shown 10 or 11 points; Cy couldn’t have spades headed by the K-J-10.

HOROSCOPE

ed expectations. It’s the fourth “Resident Evil” film, all of which have starred Milla Jovovich.

This installment opened better than the three previous movies.

“Resident Evil” was the only film in new release on the historically slow moviegoing weekend following Labor Day.

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.

The previously published notice below is hereby retracted.***** The Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Medical Assistance provides notice of the negative 1.35% inflationary adjustment on Private Duty Nursing service rates effective September 1, 2010.

Additionally, the Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Medical Assistance hereby provides notice of its intent to amend the Medicaid State Plan effective November 1, 2010, for the purpose of revising the North Carolina Private Duty Nursing Program to allow the rate for skilled nursing visits to be split between RN and LPN using a modifier to indicate the respective level of care provided to the recipient billing on a 15-minute increment. A new code will be added for Private Duty Nursing providers for use when billing congregate (multi-recipient) nursing services. The code for multi-recipient nursing will be used to bill for services when one nurse is providing care for more than one recipient residing in the same private primary residence. The modifiers are required when billing this code. The reimbursement rate for three or more recipients in the same residence will be at a ratio of the basic rate determined by the combined needs of the recipients.

The annual estimated state fiscal impact of these changes is a. SFY 2011 ($1,036,231) b. SFY 2012 ($1,165,227) A copy of the proposed amendment may be viewed at the county department of social services.

New York ‘Nicks’ Panthers EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) – Once they got cozy in their new digs, the New York Giants weren’t about to let Carolina spoil their homecoming.

It took the Giants more than a half to fully feel comfortable in their $1.6 billion stadium.

Then they surged past the Panthers, getting a little revenge along the way, in a 31-18 seasonopening victory Sunday.

“It was a whole new half, and all the errors we made were out the window,” said Hakeem Nicks, the former North Carolina Tar Heel star who caught three touchdown passes from Eli Manning, all in the left corner of the end zone.

“We just wanted to go out there and click.”

Nicks Did they ever.

Ahmad Bradshaw set up his own 4-yard TD run in the fourth quarter with a 39-yard romp as New York outscored Carolina 17-2 in the second half. The Giants outgained the Panthers 196-72 in the last two periods of a generally sloppy game marred by nine turnovers – five by Carolina – and 16 penalties.

“We’ll learn from what we did wrong and capitalize on it next week,” Nicks said.

Actually, they learned quickly enough to take advantage right away against a team that routed them 41-9 in the hosts’ final game at Giants Stadium last December. In 2005, the Panthers shut out the Giants in a playoff game at the same venue.

But Carolina couldn’t match New York in the second half this time before 77,245 fans – considered a sellout despite the unusual sight of hundreds of empty seats in the $1.6 billion New Meadowlands Stadium. The Giants could not sell all the club seats, which don’t count under league blackout rules.

Nicks finished with four catches for 75 yards, while Manning went 20 for 30 for 263 yards. But he also was picked off three times.

So was Carolina quarterback Matt Moore, who left the game wobbly in the final minutes after being sacked by Osi Umenyiora.

“Like all openers, everybody struggles to some degree,” said Panthers coach John Fox, who in the final year of his contract doesn’t need such collapses by his team. “The first half, we did some decent things in the pass game. As they game wore on, it got more in their advantage. There’s no question they made more plays than we did. We made a few more mistakes than they did.”

The opener hardly was a classic, often matching the gloomy weather and gray colors that dominate the stadium that already has hosted concerts, international soccer matches and preseason football.

New York turned a botched snap on a Carolina punt into seven points as Nicks caught his

WINSTON-SALEM – The mission for the Wake Forest defense is clear as it prepares for Saturday night’s game at Stanford.

The Deacons (2-0) must stiffen after giving up three scoring plays of 51 yards or longer and 497 total yards that included 358 in the air on the way to outscoring Duke 54-48 on Saturday at BB&T Field.

“We’ve got a lot to work on,” Wake senior cornerback Alex Frye said. “We gave up too many big plays, blew too many coverages.”

The Cardinal, projected as a contender in the Pac-10, will provide the Deacons’ stiffest test of the season. Stanford improved to 2-0 late Saturday by hammering UCLA 35-0 as quarterback Andrew Luck threw for two touchdowns and 151 yards.

Carolina’s Matt Moore (3) fumbles as he is sacked by the New York Giants’ Osi Umenyiora during the fourth quarter of their game at New Meadowlands Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., on Sunday. Carolina recovered the ball. Moore, who also threw three interceptions, was knocked out of the game on the play and did not return. The Giants won 31-18. third TD pass late in the third quarter for a 24-16 lead. The second-year receiver already has half as many touchdowns as he scored as a rookie.

The Giants had taken the lead for good on Lawrence Tynes’ 31-yard field goal earlier in the period, a series kept alive by Manning’s

Updated ACC standings, starting times for this week’s games. 2D Alabama, Ohio State remain solid 1-2 punch in AP Top 25. 3D The Deacons beat Stanford last year at BB&T Field, rallying from a 17-3 deficit to win 24-17 on Riley Skinner’s quarterback sneak with two seconds to play.

Luck plundered the Deacons defense that day, completing 23 of 34 passes for 276 yards and two touchdowns.

Wake head coach Jim Grobe believes a loss to Duke would have made getting ready for Stanford much more difficult.

“Right now, as young as we are, we wouldn’t have accomplished anything with a loss,” Grobe said. “The kids know we

were in a battle, and it’s good for them to know that we can make as many mistakes as we did and still win.”

The mistakes extended to the offense even though it scored 47 of the Deacs’ 54 points and rolled up 500 yards and committed just two turnovers (one interception each by quarterbacks Ted Stachitas and Riley Skinner.

“I think we’re OK offensively,” Grobe said. “I feel good about what we’re doing scheme wise.

We have to improve on some things. We did some crazy things.

We didn’t block the right guys at the right time. We’ve got the potential to be a good team.”

The Deacs looked plenty good as Price played most of the way after replacing injured Stachitas early in the second quarter and led the Deacons on three second-half scoring drives. The first broke a 35-35 tie, the last proved to be the winning points as the

Deacons went up 54-41.

Even though Price turned in a solid performance, Grobe said after the game he was unsure who will start against Stanford if Stachitas is able to play. Stachitas suffered a severe bruise on the back of his non-throwing hand when it was struck by a helmet.

Price was scheduled to see some playing time on Saturday if Stachitas had not been injured.

Barring the inability of Stachitas to play this week, Grobe expects to give both quarterbacks time on the field Saturday night.

“We’ll have to watch the film,” Grobe said. “My first inclination is that Tanner will start, but my first inclination isn’t always right. It might be Tanner if we feel he played better than Ted. But, I would be surprised if we didn’t play two quarterbacks unless Ted is not healthy.” gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3556

Wake’s Cardinal rule: Get defensive

BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

TOP SCORES

He excelled in both roles last season.

New York, meanwhile, rushes in the Shonn Greene era at running back. Greene shared the load with Thomas Jones last season. Greene’s New (York) backup will be none other than former San Diego Charger superstar Ladainian Tomlinson.

In the nightcap, the Chargers are ready to run with Ryan Mathews. The rookie out of Fresno State has some big shoes to fill.

This year, Jones gets the starting nod with the, you guessed it, Kansas City Chiefs.

Jones will share carries with Jamaal

Charles in the Kansas City backfield.

So, the Chiefs feature a former Jet in their battle against the Chargers, while an ex-San Diego legend hopes to help New York ground the Ravens.

Got all that?

If you’re still a little fuzzy on some of the new faces in new places, don’t worry.

We have the next four months to sort it all out.

Then it’ll be time for the playoffs!

Fernando Alonso recovered from a poor start to win the Italian Grand Prix for home team Ferrari on Sunday and revive his Formula One title chances.

The Spaniard lost the lead to McLaren’s Jenson Button at the first corner but regained it after the pit stops to hold on for a 2.9second victory.

Felipe Massa of Ferrari was third and Red Bull’s Sebastian Vettel came fourth.

Red Bull driver Mark Webber, who finished sixth, leads the overall standings with 187 points.

Lewis Hamilton crashed out on the first lap and is second with 182. Third-place Alonso has 166, Button 165 and Vettel 163.

Alonso said his 24th career victory came second only in importance to his Spanish GP win in 2006 as it gave him hope of a third world title with five races left.

Alabama, Ohio State pull away from Boise in Top 25 NEW YORK (AP) – The combination of impressive victories by Alabama and Ohio State and a stunning loss by Virginia Tech led to Boise State losing all but one of its first-place votes in the AP Top 25.

The Broncos were still No. 3, behind the top-

ranked Tide and No. 2 Buckeyes in the poll released Sunday, but the gap has widened.

Alabama received 52 first-place votes and 1,466 points. Ohio State had five first-place votes and 1,410 points and Boise State received one and 1,306.

Foster’s record effort sparks Texans past Colts THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

HOUSTON – Arian Foster ran for a team-record 231 yards and scored three touchdowns to lead the Houston Texans to a 34-24 victory over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.

Foster’s sensational opening-day effort allowed the Texans to end a six-game losing streak against Peyton Manning and the defending AFC champions.

Foster, an undrafted rookie who spent most of last season on the practice squad, had 33 carries in gaining the most yards by a Colts’ opponent.

He had the NFL’s second-best opening weekend rushing performance since 1933, topped only by Buffalo’s O.J. Simpson’s 250 in 1973 against New England.

Foster also surpassed Domanick Davis’ team record of 158 yards rushing, set in 2004 at Jacksonville.

Manning completed 40 of 57 passes for 433 yards, the fourth-highest opening weekend passing yardage total since 1933, and three touchdowns.

PACKERS 27, EAGLES 20 PHILADELPHIA – Aaron Rodgers threw a pair of touchdown passes, Mason Crosby kicked a team-record 56-yard field goal and Green Bay won despite a vintage performance by Philadelphia’s Michael Vick.

In their first game since trading Donovan McNabb to Washington, the Eagles started with Kevin Kolb and finished with Vick. Kolb left with a concussion at halftime, so Vick played meaningful snaps for an extended period for the first time in nearly four years. Vick, a three-time Pro Bowl quarterback during six seasons in Atlanta, invigorated an offense that was awful in the first half. He finished with 175 yards passing and ran for 103, but could overcome a 20-3 deficit.

zone with 25 seconds left was ruled incomplete after a review.

Two incompletions later, the Lions walked off the field with their 21st straight road loss.

Stafford took a blindside sack by Julius Peppers and spent the second half on the sideline with his arm in a sling.

His status for next week is uncertain.

BUCCANEERS 17, BROWNS 14 TAMPA, Fla. – Josh Freeman returned from a three-week layoff because of a broken thumb on his throwing hand and tossed a pair of touchdowns to help the Bucs overcome an 11-point deficit.

Jake Delhomme guided Cleveland to a 14-3 lead before things unraveled for the Browns. Delhomme finished 20 of 37 for 227 yards and two interceptions in his Browns debut.

PATRIOTS 38, BENGALS 24 FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Tom Brady threw two of his three touchdown passes to Wes Welker to lead New England.

The season-opening victory came just three days after Brady was unhurt in a two-car crash then agreed to a contract making him the NFL’s highest paid player.

His day was made smoother by Welker, who caught eight passes for 64 yards less than eight months after surgery for a torn knee ligament. Chad Ochocinco and Terrell Owens combined for 19 receptions for 212 yards and a touchdown for the Bengals.

JAGUARS 24, BRONCOS 17 JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – David Garrard threw three touchdown passes, two to tight end Marcedes Lewis, and Jacksonville won a game the team called one of the most important in franchise history.

Garrard completed 16 of 21 passes for 170 yards. Maurice Jones-Drew ran for 98 yards.

SEAHAWKS 31, 49ERS 6 SEATTLE – Matt Hasselbeck threw for two touchdowns and ran for another as Seattle gave new coach Pete Carroll a winning start.

Carroll left Southern California after last season and is back coaching in the NFL for the first time in 11 years.

CARDINALS 17, RAMS 13 ST. LOUIS – Larry Fitzgerald caught a 21-yard touchdown pass for the goahead score late in the fourth quarter, helping Arizona spoil a solid debut by No. 1 pick Sam Bradford.

Derek Anderson hung in the pocket despite taking a pounding from the St. Louis pass rush, going 22 for 41 for 297 yards in his first start as the replacement for the retired Kurt Warner.

Bradford was 32 of 55 for 253 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions.

STEELERS 15, FALCONS 9 (OT) PITTSBURGH – Rashard Mendenhall ran 50 yards for a touchdown 2:35 into overtime and the Steelers overcame a shaky start by replacement quarterback Dennis Dixon and a missed field goal attempt late in regulation. Mendenhall carried 22 times for 120 yards and the game’s only touchdown.

DOLPHINS 15, BILLS 10 ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. – Linebacker Karlos Dansby and Miami’s new-look defense provided the Dolphins with the quick start they were looking for.

Dansby, Miami’s top offseason freeagent addition, had a sack and eight tackles in helping the Dolphins limit the Bills to 166 yards on offense.

CHICAGO – Jay Cutler threw for 372 yards, including a 28-yard TD pass to Matt Forte with 1:32 left and Chicago held on against Detroit.

The Lions, who lost quarterback Matthew Stafford with a right shoulder injury late in the first half, nearly pulled out the win but Shaun Hill’s 25yard pass to Calvin Johnson in the end

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Chris Johnson ran for 142 yards and two touchdowns, Vince Young threw for two TDs and Javon Ringer had a TD, and the Titans avoided any comparisons to last year’s 0-6 start with a season-opening rout.

Oakland led 3-0 early after a Young fumble. Tennessee answered with 24 straight points to take control.

Turnovers help Wolfpack turn back Central Florida ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) – An opportunistic defense and conservative offense was a successful combination for N.C. State, which jumped out to a 21-point lead, then hung on to defeat the University of Central Florida 28-21 late Saturday night.

N.C. State’s defense created five turnovers, including a 43-yard interception return for a touchdown by C.J. Wilson, to help the Wolfpack improve to 2-0 for the first time in Tom O’Brien’s four years at the school.

State had only 239 yards total offense, including 79 in the second half, but the Wolfpack was efficient.

State didn’t turn the ball over and converted two takeaways into touchdowns.

Dean Haynes scored from 4 yards out after an interception and Mustafa Greene had a 21yard scoring run after a fumble recovery. Quarterback Russell Wilson hit Darrell Davis with a 26-yard scoring pass to finish an 83-yard drive.

The Knights (1-1) gave away three interceptions and two fumbles.

Hamlin takes top seed in the Chase RICHMOND, Va. (AP) – Denny Hamlin faced adversity before he even had a chance to live up to his billing as the popular pick to unseat Jimmie Johnson as Sprint Cup champion.

He tore a knee ligament in a pickup basketball game in January, just a few weeks before the start of the season, to raise questions about his physical ability to compete at NASCAR’s highest level. When he stumbled out of the gate with a series of confidence-testing poor finishes, he was hit with the snickering from naysayers who never believed he had a title run

in him from the beginning.

So when he announced in March he’d undergo immediate surgery to repair his anterior cruciate ligament, his championship chances were officially dismissed.

Only Hamlin refused to fade. He instead rattled off five wins in 10 races – four of which came after his surgery – and revived his title chances. And even after he cooled off over the summer, he turned it up as he closed in on the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.

Locked into a tie with Johnson for the top seed in the Chase, Hamlin

Taber, HPU women shock Clemson ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORTS

COLUMBIA, S.C. – The High Point University women’s soccer team scored three second-half goals, including two by junior Katie Taber to upset Clemson 4-3 at the Carolina on Sunday afternoon. The win was HPU’s first ever over an ACC opponent. “We made great strides as a program today,“ HPU head coach Marty Beall said. “Scoring four goals against an ACC team is big, especially a team that entered the game 5-1-0. We showed incredible work ethic and worked hard for 90 minutes.�

Brooke Lisson and Kelli Joline also scored for the Panthers. Sara Rager, Joline and Sammy Vercellino dished assists for HPU. Taber and Joline were named to the Carolina Cup All-Tournament team.

U.S. backs global bank standards

FILE | AP

Josef Ackermann, CEO of Deutsche Bank, leans at a bank logo in Frankfurt, Germany, after announcing the earnings of the first quarter of 2009.

The bank is planning to issue 308.6 million shares to raise capital to buy Postbank AG.

Deutsche Bank tries to raise capital for takeover of lender BERLIN (AP) – Germany’s biggest bank, Deutsche Bank AG, on Sunday announced plans to raise at least ¤9.8 billion ($12.4 billion) in a capital increase intended mainly to finance a takeover of retail lender Deutsche Postbank AG. The planned issue of 308.6 million new common shares also is aimed at “strengthening the bank’s equity capital in light of expected regulatory changes,” CEO Josef Ackermann said.

Deutsche Bank’s move came as financial regulators met in Switzerland to finalize a deal that would require banks in future to hold more capital in reserve.

Deutsche Bank is Germany’s biggest bank and currently owns 29.95 percent of Postbank shares.

As a result of the planned takeover, “we can expand our strong position in our home market, take a leading position in the European retail banking business and significantly enhance Deutsche Bank’s revenue mix,” Ackermann said in a statement.

Deutsche Bank’s shares had dropped on Friday on reports that it planned a huge

stock issue. They finished 4.6 percent lower in Frankfurt at ¤47.70.

Postbank shares went the other way – closing up 4.8 percent on Friday at ¤27.04.

Deutsche bank, based in Frankfurt, said it

Deutsche Bank currently owns 29.95 percent of Postbank shares, and officials want to complete the takeover by the end of this year. plans to offer Postbank shareholders a cash payment equal to the volume-weighted average share price over the last three months.

It expects to offer between ¤24 and ¤25 per share.

Deutsche Bank first moved in 2008 to buy a minority stake in Postbank from Deutsche Post AG.

It said it hopes to fully consolidate Postbank this year if the capital increase is successfully implemented – and would need to revalue its existing investment in Postbank, leading to a prospective third-quarter charge of about ¤2.4 billion.

A syndicate of banks acting as joint bookrunners agreed to underwrite the new shares at a preliminary subscription price of ¤31.80, ensuring gross proceeds of at least ¤9.8 billion, Deutsche Bank said.

The final subscription price will be determined and announced Sept. 20 “and will depend on further market developments,” it added.

Existing shareholders will be able to buy one new share for every two they already own. Deutsche Bank said it plans to buy back up to 3.1 million shares between Monday and Thursday in an effort to reduce the number of shares that carry subscription rights.

Deutsche Bank has said its tier 1 capital ratio, a key barometer of financial health, stood at 11.3 percent at the end of the second quarter. It reported a core tier 1 ratio, excluding hybrid capital instruments, of 7.5 percent.

Postbank had a tier 1 ratio of 7.3 percent.

WASHINGTON (AP) – The Federal Reserve and other major U.S. banking regulators are calling new global bank capital standards a “significant step forward in reducing the incidence and severity of future financial crises.”

In a joint statement, the U.S. regulators said the new agreement reached Sunday in Basel, Switzerland “provides for a more stable banking system that is less prone to excessive risk-taking.”

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, Sheila Bair, head of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. and John G. Walsh, the acting head of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, participated in Sunday’s discussions in Switzerland. Their agencies issued the joint statement.

The U.S. agencies already have the authority to institute tougher capital standards under the sweeping financial overhaul legislation that Congress passed and President Barack Obama signed into law in July. That bill requires the nation’s largest banks to establish more stringent capital and liquidity standards.

The legislation capped nearly two years of intense debate over how to avoid a recurrence of the 2008 financial meltdown that pushed the country into the worst recession since the 1930s.

The new global rules are expected to be endorsed by Obama and other leaders of the Group of 20 major economies when they meet in November in Seoul, South Korea.

Analysts: Don’t hesitate to buy blue chips NEW YORK (AP) – Can you make good returns in a lousy market?

If you believe a few respected money managers, there’s opportunity aplenty in stocks now. If you find that surprising, wait until you hear where they think the bargains lurk: big blue chips that almost always fetch premium prices.

Legendary bear Jeremy Grantham of GMO LLC in Boston says the U.S. faces “seven lean years” of meager growth, but he has been pounding the table about blue chip bargains with big dividends.

Steven Romick of FPA

DILBERT

Crescent predicts rising taxes and an economic malaise but is singing the praises about “bigger is better” stocks now, too.

“If you’re worried about a feeble economy you want to own companies with strong balance sheets,” says T2 Partner’s Whitney Tilson, who is loading up on big, multinational companies though he doubts the market will rise much for a while. “The beauty today is those companies are on sale.”

Blue chips are always in the news. They’re widely owned by pension funds and by individual investors

in index funds, and heavily covered by Wall Street analysts. They’re the companies that sell beer and medicine.

They’re the banks where people put their money.

They make tractors and computer software. And they typically trade at premium prices, so sometimes are shunned by contrarians like the three above who have been bearish when others are bullish.

Better to troll in “more obscure waters” to find cheap stocks, as FPA’s Romick explained to investors in a recent letter.

But now the bargains are staring them in the face

– no trolling required.

Of course, even if the pros are right that some stocks are cheap, they may get cheaper still. That’s especially true in an age of computerized trading where everything tends to get swept up in the big market moves, and even sharpshooters picking off stocks one-byone can get hurt.

“That style of investing isn’t working now,” says Cleve Rueckert, a strategist at Birinyi Associates.

“When the market goes up, most stocks go up, and when it goes down, most go down. The traders are running the show.”

Report: HP close to buying security software provider NEW YORK (AP) – Computer maker Hewlett-Packard Co. may be close to another major acquisition.

The company is nearing a deal to buy security software provider ArcSight for about $1.5 billion, The Wall Street Journal said on its website Sunday.

Based on ArcSight’s 34.6 million shares outstanding at Sept. 1, that would value the company at about $43.34 per share – a 23 percent premium to the stock’s closing price Friday.

The news comes just a few weeks after HP suc-

cessfully wrestled data storage company 3Par Inc. from rival Dell Inc. for $2.07 billion.

ArcSight Inc., based in Cupertino, Calif., provides technology for protecting business and government computer networks from hackers.

EPA to hold last of 4 hearings on gas drilling ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) – The oil and gas industry is urging the Environmental Protection Agency to keep a narrow focus in its study of how a drilling technique that involves blasting chemical-laced water into the ground may affect drinking water.

The issues will be aired today in two-minute speaking slots at an EPA hearing twice postponed last month because of security concerns. The hearing is the last of four around the country.

Igor hits Category 4 in Atlantic

Report: Fire pit may have sparked wildfire BOULDER, Colo. (AP) – Hundreds of people evacuated during one of the most destructive wildfires in Colorado history returned to their scorched homes Sunday, surrounded by the dreary sight of burnt trees, melted mailboxes and uneven patches of blackened ground.

Residents were allowed to return to their homes in the Boulder foothills as firefighters inched closer to fully containing the blaze that has burned 10 square miles and investigators probed its cause.

A senior law enforcement official familiar with the investigation told the Denver Post that authorities are looking into whether a fire pit sparked the wildfire, which could mean criminal charges are possible.

Fellow Americans’ suspicions frustrate US Muslims need to express this,” said Imam Mohammed Ibn Faqih in a sermon at the Islamic Institute of Orange County in Anaheim, Calif., the day before the 9/11 anniversary.

There is no simple way for American Muslims to move forward.

Images of violence overseas in the name of Islam have come to define the faith for many non-Muslims at home. The U.S. remains at war in Afghanistan, and although America has formally declared an end to its combat operations in Iraq, U.S. troops there continue to fight alongside Iraqi forces.

NEW YORK (AP) – Nine years of denouncing terrorism, of praying side-by-side with Jews and Christians, of insisting “I’m American, too.” None of it could stop a season of hate against Muslims that made for an especially fraught Sept. 11. Now, Muslims are asking why their efforts to be accepted in the United States have been so easily thwarted.

“We have nothing to apologize for, we have nothing to fear, we have nothing to be ashamed of, we have nothing that we’re guilty of – but we need to be out there and we

Within the U.S., domestic terror has become a greater threat, while ignorance about what Islam teaches is widespread. More than half of respondents in a recent poll by the Pew Forum for Religion & Public Life said they knew little or nothing about the Muslim faith.

Some U.S. Muslims say their national organizations share the blame, for answering intricate questions about Islam with platitudes, and failing to fully examine the potential for extremism within their communities.

MIAMI (AP) – Forecasters say Hurricane Igor has rapidly strengthened to a Category 4 storm in the open Atlantic. It doesn’t immediately threaten land, but is expected to get stronger as it moves west.

Meanwhile, a tropical depression off the coast of Africa prompted officials to issue a tropical storm warning Sunday for parts of the Cape Verde Islands.

Igor had maximum sustained winds of 140 mph and was moving west at 14 mph. Some additional strengthening is expected in the next two days.

The center of the storm was located about 1,065 miles east of the Northern Leeward Islands.
