The videos do “portray the interaction between Mr. Smith and the officers immediately prior to the shooting and actions taken by the officers after the shooting,” the order states.

The judge also ruled that if no charges are filed in the case, the

videos would be made available to the public.

The videos also could be made public as part of evidence during a trial or, if not introduced in evidence, after any trial concludes.

BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

ASHEBORO – A Minneapolis-based cereal company held a grand opening of its new facility in Asheboro on Tuesday and announced increased efforts to feed the hungry in North Carolina.

Malt-O-Meal Company opened a new production facility on a 33-acre property on 2525 Bank St. North Carolina Secretary of Commerce Keith Crisco officially opened the doors of the facility, which adds 133 new jobs to the area, in front of invited guests at the ceremony.

“We want to be known as a great place to do great work,” said Chris Neugent, CEO of the company, at the event. “We are committed to growth across our company, growth here in Asheboro and growth in the cereal aisle.”

The company received nearly $4 million in financial incentives from Randolph County.

Chris Neugent, president and CEO of Malt-O-Meal, says the company is committed to growth.

Bonnie Renfro, president of the Randolph County Economic Development Commission, said the new facility is a prime example of economic development.

“This is such a winwin,” Renfro said. “When you think about the 200 workers it took to build the facility and the equipment Malt-O-Meal bought from other North Carolina

companies, the economic impact has spread well beyond just what we see today.”

Malt-O-Meal officials also announced increased efforts in the company’s Million Bowls program.

The program originally was created to provide 1 million bowls of cereal to needy families in the state.

In light of economic con-

ditions, officials said the company would donate an additional 10 servings for every bag of cereal bought until the end of the year up to 2 million servings.

The cereal will be distributed through the North Carolina Association of Feeding America Food Banks.

“Malt-O-Meal is an example of a good thing

happening in North Carolina,” Crisco said. “On the one hand, our statewide employment is down. On the other hand, what does North Carolina do when it has prospects? We collaborate.

“When it comes to economic development, we work together.” phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

Officials give green light to university plan

BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – The High Point Planning and Zoning Commission amended a portion of the University Area Plan before unanimously approving the plan at its meeting last night.

Heidi Galanti, a planning administrator for the city, presented the plan, which was designed to guide the growth of the university.

Don Scarborough, vice president of community relations at the university, said the university’s biggest concern with the plan was its use of the word “contiguous.”

The plan states that “new campus development should be contiguous to existing campus,” meaning the university should purchase or develop property that borders its current property.

Scarborough cited the University Village as not being contiguous to campus when it was constructed and asked the commission if

SONNY HEDGECOCK | HPE FILE

Sechrest Funeral Home on E. Lexington Avenue and other property surrounding HPU are in the university’s growth plan. the property, which houses two student dormitories, a swimming pool and a restaurant, would have been allowed under the plan.

“Our dream would be to have the entire campus contiguous,” Scarborough said. “However, it could also be possible for a single property area, road or sub area to prevent this from happening,” he said.

Commissioner Kathy Carter said the plan was meant to encourage

the university to purchase land closest to its border and develop outwardly rather than purchase land away from the university and “squeeze land owners.”

The commission voted that the plan be amended to say development “should be contiguous” rather than “must be contiguous.”

Scarborough issued other concerns such as the plan’s discouragement of the demolition of resi-

dential homes purchased by the university and the plan’s encouragement of students and residents to exist cohesively.

“The goal of the city should be to encourage the university to develop its natural borders,” Scarborough said.

Carter replied that the plan was policy and meant to encourage the university to grow a certain way.

She said the city could not legally force the university to discontinue demolition of residential properties that it purchases.

The commission also approved a special use permit that would allow the Piedmont Authority for Regional Transportation to build a park-and-ride facility at the northeast corner of N. Main Street and Old Plank Road.

The items will go before City Council at a public hearing on Oct. 19 at 5:30 p.m. in the City Council chambers. phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

Consultants: Development rules need overhaul

BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Consultants have recommended a comprehensive update of the city’s development ordinance.

Representatives of Chapel Hill-based Clarion Associates told City Council and Planning and Zoning Commission members Tuesday that the rules governing development need to be updated to take into account recommendations of the Core City plan and to allow for more flexibility and incentives that encourage development. They said an update would also make the ordinance more “userfriendly.”

Consultants determined that the city has different development goals for its urban core and suburban areas, and the ordinance does not recognize the differences.

“Right now, that is creating some obstacles for the type of development you would like to see in both types of areas,” said Craig Richardson of Clarion Associates during a presentation of the company’s report on its findings.

Their evaluation was based on a year-long process of interviews with city officials, discussion sessions

Hospitals announce flu policy Inside...

Facilities in Charlotte institute ban. 3B ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

DAVIDSON COUNTY – Thomasville Medical Center is among several Triad hospitals Tuesday announcing a change in guidelines for visitors because of the H1N1 virus, known commonly as swine flu.

Thomasville Medical Center, Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, Forsyth Medical Center and Medical Park Hospital in Winston-Salem will restrict visitors under the age of 18 as a precaution against the spread of influenza, including H1N1, among patients.

Starting Thursday, those who are under 18 will not be permitted to

visit patients, including siblings, friends or family members. The restrictions apply to hospital lobbies, waiting areas, classrooms and patient rooms.

Additionally, visitation to hospital neonatal intensive care units is restricted to parents and primary caregivers only.

The hospitals’ policies don’t apply to children who need emergency care or hospitalization. Lexington Memorial Hospital will implement similar restrictions on Monday.

“The health systems recognize that these actions may cause some disruption to families, but emphasize that their first priority is ensuring the safest possible environment for patients and diminishing potential exposure to the flu,” according to a statement. “Until the flu incidence rate has significantly decreased, these new guidelines

will be in effect ...” Hospital representatives say one reason for the restriction is because a high ratio of all H1N1 flu cases reported in North Carolina involve children and young adults up to 24 years of age.

“Further, children are often contagious before they show signs of an illness. Allowing this age group to visit in hospital patient areas presents potentially critical risks to patients,” the health systems said in the statement.

Since the 18-and-younger population has been determined to be more susceptible to H1N1, visiting a hospital significantly increases the child’s risk for contracting flu, the health systems report.

Other medical centers in the region and across the state and nation are implementing similar policies for the height of the flu season.

oversees the Division of Air Quality, said the agency is trying to verify the information. Three of the employees still work at the division, he said.

Verizon Business has a $51.5 million contract through 2012 to provide electronics to vehicle inspection stations.

Also under investigation is whether employees in the Division of Motor Vehicles accepted improper gifts from Verizon Business. DMV Commissioner Mike Robertson, who took office March 2, requested the SBI’s help after determining that criminal acts might have

occurred at the division before his arrival.

The state also is trying to find out if it paid Verizon for hundreds of computers that weren’t delivered, at a cost of more than $1,700 each. The DMV has said Verizon has indicated as many as 700 computers intended for North Carolina are in a warehouse in Arizona.

Verizon’s contract with the DMV calls for it to store unused computers.

Jack Hoey, vice president of media relations for Verizon Business, said the company provided the DMV in August with a list of state employees who ap-

peared in expense reports filed by Verizon employees as having received meals and gifts. Though most of the expenses were meals, there were three non-food items: a Carolina Hurricanes ticket, the rental fee for a beach chair at a hotel and the fee for use of a hotel exercise room.

“We did go to the state and make them aware of the expense items and have cooperated with them, including providing all of the expense reports that we have, and we will continue to work closely with the authorities,” Hoey said.

2nd agency investigated for accepting gifts RALEIGH (AP) – A second North Carolina agency is investigating whether workers improperly accepted gifts from a company that does business with the state.

The News & Observer of Raleigh reported that Verizon Business provided documentation of meals and a Carolina Hurricanes hockey ticket the company provided free to five employees of the Division of Air Quality from 2006 to spring of this year.

Jamie Kritzer, a spokesman for the state Department of Environment and Natural Resources, which

with an advisory committee, field reconnaissance to evaluate the type of developments being created, a citizen preference survey and other means.

To implement Core City plan recommendations – aimed at revitalizing several major urban areas – the city should consider encouraging more mixed-use development and fostering standards requiring more sidewalks, pedestrian crossings and street trees, consultants said.

Offering incentives and flexibility in development standards, such as modifying parking rules and buffer requirements in some instances, also was suggested, although some council members sounded skeptical about this idea.

“I’m just curious how we go about creating those things without seeming arbitrary,” said Councilman Bill Bencini.

Councilman John Faircloth added, “When we start talking about controlling design, I think that gets into really dangerous territory.”

The consultants’ report will be placed on future agendas of the council and planning and zoning commission for further consideration.

Israeli envoys heading to U.S. for peace talks JERUSALEM – The chief Palestinian negotiator on Tuesday played down expectations for President Barack Obama’s latest attempt to restart peace talks, saying key differences with Israel make it difficult for negotiations to resume.

The negotiator, Saeb Erekat, spoke ahead of talks in Washington this week with Obama’s Mideast envoy, George Mitchell. The former U.S. senator is holding separate meetings with Israeli and Palestinians teams in hopes of reviving the long-stalled peace talks.

Bid to arrest Ehud Barak in Britain rejected LONDON – A British judge has rejected a Palestinian attempt to have Israeli defense chief Ehud Barak arrested over his country’s assault on Gaza last winter.

Lawyer Tayab Ali says he has failed to get a British judge to issue an arrest warrant for the visiting Israeli defense minister on the grounds of alleged war crimes committed during the attack on Gaza, which began late last year.

Group: Guinea protest death toll climbs to 157 CONAKRY, Guinea – Guinea’s government said Tuesday it would investigate why troops opened fire on protesters at a pro-democracy rally. A human rights group said 157 people were killed and more than 1,000 were injured.

While saying it would investigate, the government continued to maintain the protest was illegal. It also said far fewer people died than reported.

Military asks Hondurans for peaceful solution TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras – The general who oversaw the ouster of President Manuel Zelaya implored all sectors of Honduran society to join in resolving the country’s deepening crisis Tuesday, a message that seemed aimed at calming an uproar over a government order suspending civil liberties.

Gen. Romeo Vasquez’s comments on Channel 5 television came hours after interim President Roberto Micheletti said he would accept congressional calls for him to reverse the emergency decree suspending civil liberties that he had announced on Sunday.

MANILA, Philippines (AP) – Flood victims trudged through sludge to crowded relief centers in the Philippines on Tuesday, as the death toll rose to 246 from water that inundated the homes of nearly 2 million people.

Tropical Storm Ketsana brought the worst flooding to the Southeast Asian country in four decades, chasing some victims to their rooftops to escape the rising water and sweeping others down raging rivers.

The storm struck Saturday in Manila, one of the world’s largest cities with about 12 million people, and dumped more than a month’s worth of rain in just 12 hours.

Ketsana strengthened AP and crashed into central Gingery Comprendio stands between the coffins of her two daughters on Tuesday Vietnam on Tuesday, killin suburban Quezon City, north of Manila, Philippines.

Taliban attacks on roadways spread path of fear KABUL (AP) – Taliban militants are sowing fear along Afghanistan’s highways with steppedup checkpoints, hijackings and bombs – including one Tuesday that killed at least 30 bus passengers in the south.

Authorities say the attacks, often carried out by only a handful of militants, are part of a psychological campaign to convince civilians Taliban control is spreading. “It is quite possible for

a group of three to five insurgents to come out on the highway and attack a convoy,� said the Interior Ministry spokesman, Zemarai Bashary.

Meanwhile, a top U.N. envoy warned Tuesday that Afghanistan was facing “decision-time,� including certification of results of the flawed presidential elections and its decision on whether to pursue a peace process with the rebels to try to end the 8-year-old war.

Prosecutors want case against Chirac dropped PARIS – The Paris prosecutor’s office has asked a court to drop a case against former President Jacques Chirac and others accused in an alleged corruption scandal dating back to his 1977-1995 tenure as Paris mayor, a judicial official said Tuesday.

Iran built nuclear site shielded from air attack TEHRAN, Iran (AP) – In an unusually frank disclosure, Iran’s nuclear chief Ali Akbar Salehi said on Tuesday the country’s new uranium enrichment site was built for maximum protection from aerial attack: carved into a mountain and near a military compound of the powerful Revolutionary Guard.

Iran’s revelation that it covertly built a second uranium enrichment plant has raised international concerns that other secret nuclear sites might exist as well.

LONDON – A health official said Tuesday the sudden death of girl was very unlikely to have been caused by the vaccine she was given hours before she died.

Natalie Morton, 14, who died in a hospital Monday only hours after being the given the Cervarix vaccine, which protects against the virus that causes cervical cancer, had a “serious underlying medical condition which was likely to have caused death,� according to Caron Grainger, the director for public health at Coventry City Council.

U.S. to send home 4,000 more troops from Iraq WASHINGTON (AP) – The top general in Iraq is sending home 4,000 more U.S. troops by the end of October as the American military winds down the sixyear war.

Army Gen. Ray Odierno said in remarks prepared for a congressional hearing today that the number of U.S. soldiers in Iraq will total about 120,000 over the next month.

He said that will mean about 4,000 fewer troops than are in Iraq now – about the size of an Army brigade.

“As we go forward, we will thin our lines across Iraq in order to reduce the risk and sustain stability through a deliberate transition of responsibilities to the Iraqi security forces,” Odierno said in a statement he was to deliver before the House Armed Services Committee.

Accelerator risk leads to recall WASHINGTON (AP) – Toyota Motor Corp. said Tuesday it will recall 3.8 million vehicles in the United States, the company’s largest-ever U.S. recall, to address problems with a removable floor

mat that could cause accelerators to get stuck and lead to a crash.

The recall will involve the Camry and Prius. Separate warnings were sent to owners of Toyota and Lexus vehicles.

A copy of the testimony was obtained Tuesday by The Associated Press.

A Defense Department official confirmed Odierno planned to announce at the House hearing that he is reducing the number of brigades in Iraq, as has been long expected.

In his eight-page statement, Odierno cited data showing that the monthly number of attacks in Iraq have dramati-

cally dropped over the last two years – from more than 4,000 in August 2007 to about 600 last month.

He also said that far fewer al-Qaida and foreign fighters remain in Iraq, and most of those who are left are criminals and disenfranchised Iraqis who have been recruited by what Odierno described as a “small ideological core” of insurgents.

Who Else Wants To Get Rid Of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Without Surgery?

If You’re Over 30 And Having Wrist or Hand Pain, You Must Read What These Studies Reveal About Carpal Tunnel!

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a condition that affects everything in your life.

It’s difficult to sleep and painful to work. You’re unable to enjoy life to its fullest.

One female patient said it like this…

“I dread going to bed, I dread sweeping, doing dishes…any kind of household chores I dread – because of the pain.”

Do You Have Any Of These Symptoms?

• A thorough analysis of your exam and x-ray findings so we can map out your pain free plan

• Pins and needles in the hands • Pain in the wrists 485074

September29th-October 3rd

• Numbness or pain in the arms • Difficulty grabbing objects • Elbow pain

My name is Dr. Kris Jonasson, owner of Health One Chiropractic . I’ve seen hundreds of carpal tunnel sufferers leave my office pain free in the past 10 years. Many patients tell me they wished they’d found me sooner. Suffering for years was agonizing for them.

I want to let you know there is real hope…

You Have An Option Other Than Drugs And Surgery…One That Really Works Scientific studies have proven that chiropractic is effective in helping carpal tunnel patients be pain free.

One study showed that with chiropractic care, patients had “significant improvement in perceived comfort and function, nerve conduction and finger sensation overall.” – JMPT 1998

• You’ll see everything first hand and find out if this amazing treatment will be your pain solution, like it has been for so many other patients.

Until October 14, 2009 you can get everything I’ve listed here for only $25. The normal price for this type of evaluation including x-rays is $175, so you’re saving a considerable amount by taking me up on this offer. Federal recipients excluded. IF YOU DECIDE TO PURCHASE ADDITIONAL TREATMENT, YOU HAVE THE LEGAL RIGHT TO CHANGE YOUR MIND WITHIN 3 DAYS AND RECEIVE A REFUND.

Feel the Improvement – and Say “Yes” to Life Again With my evaluation we’ll be able find the cause of your carpal tunnel and then correct it. Think of how you’ll feel in just a few short weeks.

Remember what it was like before you had carpal tunnel problems. When you were pain free and could enjoy everything life had to offer. It can be that way again. Don’t neglect your problem any longer – don’t wait until it’s too late.

As you begin to see motion returning to your joints, you’re preventing and reducing chances of disability and a crippling future.

Another research study concluded…

“Significant increase in grip strength and normalization of motor and sensory latencies were noted. Orthopedic tests were negative. Symptoms dissipated.” – JMPT 1994 Also, an often-overlooked cause of carpal tunnel symptoms can come from nerve roots near the spine. A study in the Lancet journal showed that up to 75% of carpal tunnel patients also had a nerve problem in their neck.

Dr. Susan MacKinnon, professor of surgery at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, said the high failure rate of surgery has caused her to rethink the cause of carpal tunnel syndrome.

Soon you’ll be able to live life like a normal person again, without carpal tunnel pain – able to play with your kids, enjoy time with friends, and not have to worry that your pain will hit you at just the wrong time.

Here’s what to do now: Call 476-9600 today and we can get started with your consultation, exam and x-rays as soon as there’s an opening in the schedule. Our office is called Health One Chiropractic and you can find us in the Food Lion strip behind Mr. Gatti’s Pizza. Tell the Roseanna you’d like to come in for the Carpal Tunnel Evaluation before October 14.

Sincerely, Dr. Kris Jonasson, D.C.

She states even after surgery problems like neck stiffness and shoulder pain persist in patients.

Could This Be Your Solution To Carpal Tunnel Pain?

P.S. Are you taking pain pills or considering having surgery on your carpal tunnel pain?

For 10 days only, I’m running a very special offer where you can find out if this could be your solution to carpal tunnel pain.

If so, perhaps you should wait and try a natural approach. Surgery is expensive, takes time to recover, and many doctors agree it should only be used as a last resort.

What does this offer include? Everything I normally do in my “Carpal Tunnel New Patient Evaluation”.

Just call before October 14, 2009 and here’s what you’ll get…

P.P.S. Nothing’s worse than feeling great mentally, but physically feeling held back from life because your wrists and hand hurts – and the pain just won’t go away!

• An in-depth consultation about your problem where I will listen…really listen…to the details of your case.

Don’t neglect your hands and wrists any longer, disabling you for life. Take me up on my offer and call today 4760-9600.

• A complete neuromuscular examination.

• A full set of specialized x-rays to determine if a pinched nerve in the neck is contributing to your pain.

Don’t live another day like this.

Call and schedule for your evaluation.

Nobody wins war in Afghanistan I’m writing concerning our nation’s involvement in winless wars, such as Korea, Vietnam, and at the present Afghanistan and Iraq.

We got into Korea shortly after World War II, and our President Truman called it a little-choice war. It became a major disaster for our troops that were attacked by the Chinese and driven back to the 38th Parallel, where there has been a truce more than 60 years.

Also, a few years later, the French were beaten in Vietnam.

So “Uncle Sam” decided to step in and show them a thing or two about winning a war. After a

emembering those teachers who went out of their way to help most of us during our school days, it’s always gratifying when outstanding educators in our local schools are recognized for the jobs they do. It’s even more gratifying to High Pointers this year because both the principal of the year and the teacher of the year for Guilford County Schools are based in schools in High Point.

Cheri Keels, in her third year as principal at Triangle Lake Montessori School after serving as assistant principal at Allen Jay Middle School, typically for her, told the Celebrating Excellence in Education presentation ceremony audience, “Thank you to my staff, students and parents for your continued support,” adding, “without you I couldn’t do this job.”

Likewise, Terri Roberts, a former journalist and health department employee who has been teaching advanced learners in kindergarten through fifth grade at Southwest Elementary, admits she has developed “a real addiction to the classroom” and declared, “We have the very best staff, the best PTO and the best students anyone could hope for.”

Notice, please, that these two educators praise their colleagues, students and – use special focus – parents at their respective schools. Parent involvement makes so much difference in how well a school, any school, functions and how well it serves all of its students.

But don’t congratulate just Keels and Roberts. Be sure to praise Deanna Wynn, Southern Middle science teacher; Darren Corbett, Grimsley High English teacher; Jennifer Caligan, Nathanael Greene Elementary fifth-grade science and social studies teacher; and Joan Kimmel, Weaver Academy English teacher, who were other finalists for top honors.

As author Henry Adams noted, “A teacher affects eternity; he(/she) can never tell where his(/her) influence stops.”

Parents also play pivotal role in school success.

‘Walking the walk’ isn’t something today’s kids can do

I

t was a long walk for a 4-year-old.

It happened in 1966. My older sister Krissy, eager to get me out of her hair, gave me a coin she’d made from a piece of cardboard.

“You can buy candy with it,” she said.

Candy was a rarity in our home, but I knew where to buy some.

I slipped out the back door and made my way through the woods and onto Diane Drive. It was another 200 yards to the “little store,” the momand-pop shop at the bottom of the hill.

I entered the store and reached my grubby hand above my head and set my fake coin on the counter. Beneath the counter, through the glass, was a spectacular display of penny candy.

I stood there mesmerized by the incredible potpourri of sweets.

Unbeknownst to me a great hullabaloo was taking place at my house. Krissy and Kathy, 7 and 9 respectively, had been instructed to keep an eye on me while my mother went downstairs with a load of laundry.

When my mother returned a few minutes later, I was nowhere to be found. Kathy, apparently, had gone upstairs to her bedroom.

Krissy and I were left together for only a few minutes – just enough time for her to cut out the coin and give it to me (though I don’t think she expected her runt brother to walk all the way to the little store).

Panic overcame my mother as she searched the house – though she’d soon have the situation under control.

This story came to mind as I read a recent article in The New York Times on kids and walking. Today’s parents are in such a state of worry, most won’t let their children walk anywhere alone.

It’s routine for parents to drive their kids to and from school – even if they are 10, 11 or 12 and even if the school is only a few blocks away.

At some schools, there is a rigorous process for picking children up. Parents display their kids’ names on their dashboards. A school official radios to the building and the kids are escorted, one at a time, to the cars.

Parents who attempt to buck our worry-prone culture – one lady allowed her 10-year-old son to

walk a mile to soccer practice – face the wrath of family, neighbors and local authorities.

When a police officer saw the boy walking alone, he stopped him and drove him to practice.

The officer reprimanded his OPINION mom and told her she would have faced child endangerment had Tom anything happened to her son.

Purcell To be sure, we’re an uptight, ■■■ control-freak culture these days. Our paranoia is stoked by sensationalistic news stories and 24/7 coverage about children who have been abducted, but our fears are not entirely warranted.

The Times offers an interesting statistic: There are roughly 40 million elementary schoolage children in America. Each year, 115 children are abducted –- but more than 250,000 are in car wrecks.

Which shows how times have changed – and not necessarily for the better.

When I was 10 in 1972, I was permitted to roam all over the place, so long as my mother knew where I was going.

I am certainly sympathetic to the challenge parents face today. A friend of mine is determined that both her children experience some of the freedom she knew as a child.

She allows her kids to go into the woods to play – but she is filled with terror as she attempts to monitor them, unnoticed, from the window.

In any event, on the day I disappeared in 1966, my mother finally got my sister Krissy to ’fess up. Shortly after I arrived at the store, my mother pulled our station wagon into the store’s parking lot and rushed inside to hug me.

Lucky for her this happened in 1966.

Had it happened now, she’d have to deal with the police and child welfare officials and maybe even an embarrassing report on the evening news.

COMMENTARY THE HIGH POINT ENTERPRISE WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 www.hpe.com

Be wary of dangers of the Brainey Bunch M

any people, including some conservatives, have been very impressed with how brainy the president and his advisers are. But that is not quite as reassuring as it might seem.

It was, after all, Franklin D. Roosevelt’s brilliant “brains trust” advisers whose policies are now increasingly recognized as having prolonged the Great Depression of the 1930s, while claiming credit for ending it.

The Great Depression ended only when the Second World War put an end to many New Deal policies.

FDR himself said that “Dr. New Deal” had been replaced by “Dr. Win-the-War.” But those today who are for big spending like to credit wartime big spending for bringing the Great Depression to an end.

They never ask the question as to why previous depressions had always ended on their own, much faster than the one under FDR, and without government intervention or massive government spending.

Brainy folks were also present in Lyndon Johnson’s administration, especially in the Pentagon, where Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara’s brilliant “whiz kids” tried to micro-manage the Vietnam war, with disastrous results.

There is usually only a limited amount of damage that can be done by dull or stupid people.

For creating a truly monumental disaster, you need people with high IQs. Such people have been told all their lives how brilliant they are, until finally they feel forced to admit it, with all due modesty. But they not only tend to over-estimate their own brilliance, more fundamentally they tend to

over-estimate how important brilliance itself is when dealing OPINION with real world Thomas problems.

Sowell Many ■■■ crucial things in life are learned from experience, rather than from clever thoughts or clever words. Indeed, a gift for the clever phrasing so much admired by the media can be a fatal talent, especially for someone chosen to lead a government.

Make no mistake about it, Adolf Hitler was brilliant. His underlying beliefs may have been half-baked and his hatreds overwhelming, but he was a genius when it came to carrying out his plans politically, based on those beliefs and hatreds.

Starting from a position of Germany’s military weakness in the early 1930s, Hitler not only built up Germany’s war-making potential, he did so in ways that minimized the danger that his potential victims would match his military build-up with their own. He said whatever soothing words they wanted to hear that would spare them the cost of military deterrence and the pain of contemplating another war.

He played some of the most highly educated people of his time for fools-- not only foreign political leaders but also members of the intelligentsia. The editor of The Times of London filtered out reports that his own foreign correspondents in Germany sent him about the evils and dangers of the Nazis. In the United States, W.E.B. Du Bois – with a Ph.D. from Harvard – said that dictatorship in Germany was “abso-

lutely necessary to get the state in order.”

In an age when facts seem to carry less weight than the visions of brilliant and charismatic leaders, it is more important than ever to look at the actual track records of those brilliant and charismatic leaders.

After all, Hitler led Germany into military catastrophe and left much of the country in ruins.

Even in a country which suffered none of the wartime destruction that others suffered in the 20th century, Argentina began that century as one of the 10 richest nations in the world – ahead of France and Germany – and ended it as such an economic disaster that no one would even compare it to France or Germany.

Politically brilliant and charismatic leaders, promoting reckless government spending – of whom Juan Peron was the most prominent, but by no means alone – managed to create an economic disaster in a country with an abundance of natural resources and a country that was spared the stresses that wars inflicted on other nations in the 20th century.

Someone recently pointed out how much Barack Obama’s style and strategies resemble those of Latin American charismatic despots-- the takeover of industries by demagogues who never ran a business, the rousing rhetoric of resentment addressed to the masses and the personal cult of the leader promoted by the media.

But do we want to become the world’s largest banana republic?

We need to target hate-crime perpetrators

T

he rock was hurled through the victim’s open window at approximately 11:30 p.m. on the evening of Sept. 17. As if the act of throwing the rock was not enough, the perpetrator had attached a short message to his vessel.

“I hope it hit you in the (sexual expletive) head (expletive),” the note read. “You don’t deserve life like the rest of the world. It’s bad enough without all the gay crap pulling people down. It’s sick, unnatural, and death is almost too good for you. Almost.”

The note was intended for a Guilford College student who lives in the dorm in which the rock was found. Young and gay, he has chosen not to be identified by the press, although he has contributed an anonymous letter to the college’s student newspaper, The Guilfordian, expressing his appreciation for the continued support from the Guilford community.

This wasn’t the first time such a thing had happened: Three days earlier, the same unknown person had left a note on the student’s door which read as follows: “Die you MF (expletive). Nobody wants your kind on campus.”

Thirty-three states recognize crimes based on a victim’s sexual orientation as hate crimes, but North Carolina is not one of them. Should the perpetrator of the recent bias incident at Guilford be caught, he or she will be prosecuted as if the notes made no threats about the anonymous student’s sexuality.

According to a Sept. 10 WWAY News article, Assistant District Attorney James Blanton said, “Sexual orientation is not one of the protected classes.

If someone commits a misdemeanor assault based on the fact that the victim has a different sexual orientation that they’re not satisfied with, it would not bump it up to a felony.”

North Carolina equality activists are currently trying to change that. House Bill 207, otherwise known as the Safer Communities Act, expands what is currently titled the Ethnic Intimida-

tion Act to include crimes motivated by age, gender, disability, and sexual orientation. It will be addressed in the 2009-10 session.

On a larger scale, TEEN the Local Law EnforceVIEW ment Hate Crimes Prevention Act, unofMeredith ficially known as the Jones Matthew Shepard Act, ■■■ would alter the 1969 federal hate crime law to include gender, disability, sexual orientation, or gender identity.

Rep. Virginia Foxx R-5th, memorably denounced the bill, calling Matthew Shepard’s murder in 1998, during which he was robbed, pistol-whipped, tortured, tied to a fence, and left to die, “a very unfortunate incident that happened where a young man was killed, but we know that that young man was killed in the commitment of a robbery. It wasn’t because he was gay. This – the bill was named for him, hate crimes bill was named for him, but it’s really a hoax that that continues to be used as an excuse for passing these bills.”

Unlike the majority of the public after the publication of her statement, it’s not the word “hoax” that I find upsetting. People have, do, and will come up with conspiracy theories forever and beyond. It’s the word “excuse.”

“Excuse” assumes that there is a malicious agenda behind efforts like the Matthew Shepard Act, and yet – shouldn’t we be proud to support bills that protect victims of violent crimes of any sort, hate-based or otherwise?

Sexual orientation is only one of the many illegitimate reasons people find to hurt each other. When the next rock could come through my window, or yours, it’s in both of our interests to prosecute hate crimes to the fullest extent of the law.

Brain Oxygen-Boosting Secret Energizes Mind, Mood and Memory New pill can help sharpen focus, clear away “brain fog,” and erase 15 years of lost memory power!

For those readers seriously concerned or even embarrassed by forgetting that important name, date or to-do item again, here’s some welcome news!

A world-renowned brain research university has announced the successful testing of a memory pill that can reclaim as much as 10, even 15 years of mental decline and lost brain power.

It’s a fast-acting formula developed by US clinical research scientist and best-selling author Joshua Reynolds that took years to perfect.

For close to 40 years, Reynolds studied more than 1.5 million human brains, analyzing countless brain scans of older people and researching thousands of natural ingredients.

Procera AVH contains the three premier brain energy nutrients in precise, clinically tested doses.

Reynolds calls acetyl-lcarnitine, huperzine and vinpocetine, “the 3 Miracle Memory Molecules!”

Are Aging Brains Starved for Oxygen?

Reynolds explains his formula’s success. “It’s a simple concept; an aging

brain can’t catch its breath.

Once you reach 50, you may have already lost half your brain power. At that age, your brain is literally gasping for oxygen.”

“With each passing birthday, less and less oxygen gets to your starving brain cells as a result of toxic build-up and impaired neurotransmitter capacity,” he adds.

“Severely depleted neurotransmitters dull your cognitive powers, constricting your ability to concentrate, to remember things, and to make even the simplest decisions.”

“Procera AVH Àxes all of that,” he says. Users report that mental focus returns and memory powers snap back to where they were 10, even 15 years ago.

“I was forgetting my employees’ names and it was really embarrassing,” says user Jeff P. “After a week on Procera, I started remembering them again and I was much more focused and self-conÀdent.”

Procera AVH increases the blood circulation in the brain, Áooding oxygen-starved cells with fresh supplies of energizing oxygen and vital brain nutrients. It gets the neurons Àred up again!

Memory pill ingredient…”lights up aging brains like a Christmas tree! 100% Energizing!”

AFTER

The result? Users say the effects are felt quickly, like putting on a pair of prescription eye glasses for the very Àrst time. Everything becomes clear and focused like when we were young.

“It’s amazing, I felt sharper, more focused and alive in just minutes,” says Penny S. Not yet available in stores, Reynolds is now making this clinically tested, non-prescription formula available risk-free.

Senate panel rejects government health insurance option WASHINGTON (AP) – In a long-anticipated showdown, liberal Democrats twice failed on Tuesday to inject a governmentrun insurance option into sweeping health care legislation taking shape in the Senate, despite bipartisan agreement that private insurers must change their ways.

The two votes marked a victory for Montana Democrat Max Baucus, the

Senate Finance Committee chairman, who is hoping to push his middle-ofthe-road measure through the panel by week’s end. It also kept alive the possibility that at least one Republican may yet swing behind the overhaul, a key goal of both Baucus and the White House.

The developments occurred as Democrats in the House sought savings to reduce their companion

legislation to roughly $900 billion over a decade, the price tag President Barack Obama has suggested.

One option under consideration would reduce the number of individuals and families eligible for federal health coverage subsidies to those earning less than 400 percent of poverty, or about $43,000 for a single person and $88,000 for a family of four, officials said, com-

menting only on condition of anonymity. The subsidies are designed to make insurance more affordable, and account for a significant percentage of spending in the bill.

Without disclosing any of the details of a mara-

thon closed-door leadership meeting, Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, DMd., told reporters, “It’s hard work, but we’re determined to get it (the bill’s cost) down.�

NYC terror suspect remains in jail NEW YORK – As a suspected al-Qaida operative pleaded not guilty Tuesday to plotting a bomb attack in New York, the city’s police commissioner pronounced the threat neutralized and said there is nothing to fear from the defendant’s three alleged accomplices.

The terror scheme “has been broken up,� said Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly. “I see no danger emanating ... from the people involved in this investigation.�

He would not elaborate, and police and federal investigators have repeatedly refused to discuss the whereabouts of the three people who are alleged to have helped Afghan immigrant Najibullah Zazi buy beauty supplies for use in brewing up explosives.

The Ilderton Beach Music Blast series will present its last concert 5:30-8:30 p.m. Thursday at 1525 N. Main St. The Embers will perform, and tickets cost $5.

All proceeds from the series will go to the Children’s Home Society of North Carolina.

The area of N. Main Street and Lexington Avenue, where the concerts are held, was identified by The City Project (formerly the Core City group) for future growth. Lineberry said activity from the concerts seems to be leaking over into local businesses and restaurants afterwards.

“This has been so successful,” he said. “The city of High Point and its citizens have opened their arms to us and done everything they could to make sure this works.”

Lineberry said the most important aspect of the event is to raise money for children who need to find good homes.

“For our organiza-

tion, it’s all about raising awareness and money for the kids,” he said.

Organizers will place sand in the parking lot and decorate the area to look like the beach. Food from local restaurants will be available, and concertgoers may buy beer, wine and other beverages.

Utility plans lake for S.C. nuclear plant CHARLOTTE (AP) – A North Carolina utility plans to create a 620-acre lake to provide water for a proposed nuclear reactor in northern South Carolina.

The Charlotte Observer reported Tuesday that Duke Energy wants to build a backup water supply for the proposed reactor along the Broad River in Cherokee County, S.C. The industrial lake would supplement a smaller water supply created during Duke’s first attempt to build a nuclear plant at the site, an effort stopped in 1982.

Duke has not made a final decision on building the reactor.

Utility spokeswoman Rita Sipe says the company is reviewing the water needed to cool the proposed reactor.

Tom Clements with Friends of the Earth in Columbia says the demands for the nuclear plant and a new coalfired plant farther upstream could damage the river.

CHARLOTTE (AP) – Hospitals in North Carolina’s largest city are taking a new tack in the effort to prevent the spread of flu to patients by banning visits by children under the age of 18.

The Charlotte Observer reported that hospital officials said they couldn’t remember issuing such a blanket restriction on visits by children in the past.

The ban goes into effect Thursday.

Carolinas HealthCare System and Novant Health announced the move in a joint statement Monday.

They say it will remain in effect until flu cases have declined significantly, probably in several months.

Health officials say the number of flu cases is typical of wintertime peaks even though it’s early in the season.

“We know this change poses an inconvenience to families with patients in area facilities,” said Dr. Stephen Wallenhaupt, chief medical officer for Novant, which owns Presbyterian Healthcare. “But it is important to make this change effective now to limit the spread and impact of flu.

He said he believes “more and more” hospitals across the country will take similar steps.

Both hospital systems are also asking adults not to visit if they have flulike symptoms, such as sore throat, coughing, body ache or fever greater than 100 degrees. And they’re also encouraging employees to get flu vaccinations.

ear Abby: On July 23, “Wondering” asked why President Obama is considered to be African-American and you responded that the term “AfricanAmerican” is used in this country as a label that describes skin color.

However, in the U.S. the term is generally applied to black Americans of slave ancestry.

Before the Civil War we were African-American slaves, not considered fully human by the U.S. Constitution. After the Civil War and the outlawing of slavery, former slaves gained citizenship through amendments to the Constitution but were not able to exercise the full rights of citizenship. Most former slaves wanted to just be “Americans” with all the rights and privileges associated with it – but because of the color of their skin were discriminated against and given secondclass citizenship.

The term “AfricanAmerican” is the result of a search for identity by these new Americans, former slaves and their descendants. We were called by many names – most of them negative, such as “Negro,” “Colored,” “African,” the infamous “N-word,” “AfroAmerican” and finally, “black.” All of these at one time we considered negative because they didn’t represent self-identification.

The black power movement occurred when Black Americans changed the negative term “black” to the posi-

These geysers, the N.C. Zoo’s newest exhibit, were built to enhance and enrich the visitors’ experience and to replicate actual eruptions. activity that builds up pressure underground and erupts periodically.

Groundwater circulating under the Earth’s surface becomes heated by the hot rock below and moves toward the surface through geyser tubes or channels. As the heated water rises, it follows these channels leading upward. The underground water becomes progressively hotter, but it will not vaporize in the geyser channels because of the greatly increased pressure exerted by the weight of the overlying water.

Finally, the steam expands as it nears the top of the water column. At a critical point, the steam bubbles actually lift the water above, causing the geyser to overflow. Then system pressure decreases, resulting in violent boiling at the surface.

Eruptions continue as long as the geyser’s wa-

ter remains hot enough to push water out of the geyser opening. Eventually, either the water will cool down enough for the eruption to stop or the system will run out of water. Then the cycle starts again.

While most geysers erupt through this superheated water system, there are also cold-water geysers that are driven by carbon dioxide-rich water trapped beneath the earth’s surface.

When the built-up pressure in a cold-water geyser decreases, the carbon dioxide bubbles in the water expand, pushing water out as an eruption.

There are thought to be only about a dozen of these cold-water geysers in the world, most coming from man-made bore holes.

The zoo’s geysers are another example of how the park has tried to immerse visitors in the

he North Carolina Zoo’s newest exhibit doesn’t house mammals or reptiles or amphibians or even exotic plants – but geysers, five of them, to be exact.

Although these new features are man-made, they erupt with the same grace and beauty as their natural-phenomenon counterparts.

In nature, geysers are vents in the Earth’s surface where pressure builds and periodically ejects columns of hot water and steam into the air. At the ZOO TALES zoo, the idea was to Tom tie-in the Gillespie exhibit’s ■■■animals – elk and bison – with the geographic area of Wyoming and Yellowstone National Park, where geysers are normally found. At the zoo, it’s an enrichment experience for visitors, who can feel the spray and sense the excitement of the eruption.

No worry, though. At ambient air temperature, these are considerably cooler than the boiling hot-water eruptions of natural geysers. “Old Faithful� geyser in Yellowstone National Park, Wyo., is probably the world’s best known geyser, erupting every 60-90 minutes and blasting thousands of gallons of boiling hot water 100-200 feet into the air.

At the zoo, visitors can experience five geysers with varying spouts (the highest being about 15 feet) but at considerably cooler temperatures.

Despite the unbelievable forces that drive geyser eruptions, they are among the earth’s rarest and most fragile natural phenomena. Factors such as earthquakes and landslides can alter a geyser’s eruptions or destroy it altogether.

Worldwide, there are thought to be only about 1,000 geysers, and most of those are located in Yellowstone. All known geysers occur in just five countries: the United States, Russia, Chile, New Zealand and Iceland. But scientists have spotted a geyser-like eruption on Jupiter’s moon. All the earth’s eruptions occur where there is geologically recent volcanic activity and a source of hot rock below the surface.

The process begins as water migrates down to the geyser’s plumbing system through fissures, or openings, in the ground. Miles deep, the water at the bottom of this giant plumbing system is under incredible pressure from the water above it. The geyser system is much like a giant pressure cooker.

In simplest terms, a natural geyser is a special type of hot spring or other hydrothermal

exhibits to enrich their experience. Conceived more than a year ago, the exhibit took five months to build, with the zoo’s design staff doing the majority of the construction – except the “plumbing.�

Zoo visitors can daily view “eruptions� at the third overlook of the Prairie exhibit in the North America region.

Permanently bent finger can be surgically freed

D

ear Dr. Donohue: I have Dupuytren’s contracture, as did my father. Although less severe in my left hand, it has severely affected my right ring and little fingers.

It hampers some of my activities, especially typing.

Is there any medication or treatment that can reverse this ailment? – S.G.

BLONDIE

Dupuytren’s (do-pweeTRAHNS) contracture, a fairly common disorder, often is a family affair.

Beneath the skin, the palm of the hand has a dense covering that protects finger tendons and hand bones. That tissue sprouts a nodule, a little lump, under the hand crease at the top of the palm. From that nodule strands of fibers, like the cords on a parachute, attach to finger tendons. They draw the finger down to the palm. In the extreme, the finger can become locked flat against the palm. Any finger can be trapped, but the little and ring fingers are the ones most often targeted.

Both hands can suffer from it.

In the early stages, you might be able to keep the finger flexible by putting your hand on a table and then lifting your palm upward while maintaining the fingers flat on the table.

Hold the stretched position for 10 seconds and repeat the exercise 10 times.

For more seriously affected fingers, a cortisone injection into the area of the nodule might free the finger. Collagenase injections also have proven useful. Collagenase is a

substance that dissolves the collagen strands binding the fingers. On Aug. 28 of HEALTH this year, the Food Dr. Paul and Drug Donohue Administra■■■ tion instituted a priority review of this substance, so it may be widely available in the near future.

Needle aponeurotomy, a minimally invasive procedure in which a needle frees the finger from the tethering strands, has been used in Europe for some time and is now catching on in North America.

Standard surgery for releasing the finger or fingers has been around for a long time and is quite successful. My brotherin-law, an avid golfer, had the surgery. His game improved. Now he gets around the course in 150 strokes.

Dear Dr. Donohue: I can’t go into all the details of my mother’s health history for the past two years.

However, your article on cardiomyopathy gave hope to my sisters and me for our mother. She is breathless whenever she moves, and she is tired all the time. Can you tell us what can be done for her?

– V.W. Cardiomyopathy is only one cause of breathlessness and fatigue. It’s a weakness of heart muscle

due to causes other than the usual cause of heart problems – clogging of heart arteries. Your mother could have heart failure, anemia or an underactive thyroid gland.

Cardiomyopathy is possible, but it’s not high on the list of candidates for her symptoms.

Your family doctor is the one best able to come up with the answer or the one who can make a definite statement about cardiomyopathy.

Dear Dr. Donohue: You have written about irritable bowel syndrome and have twice mentioned Align and Xifaxan. Neither is available in Canada.

Can you recommend any substitutes? – E.Z. Align, marketed by Proctor and Gamble, is a probiotic – material containing good bacteria that aid in food digestion.

Xifaxan is the brand name of the antibiotic rifaximin.

Don’t feel deprived because you can’t get it.

Many doctors don’t use it.

Have you tried peppermint oil? It’s simple, cheap and often works. It’s best taken in the form of enteric-coated capsules, which prevent stomach irritation.

DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible.

“Milky Way,� which is, according to a Swiss newspaper, the chalet of filmmaker Roman Polanski, is seen on Tuesday in Gstaad, Canton of Bern, Switzerland.

Polanski asks Swiss court to free him ZURICH (AP) – Lawyers for Roman Polanski filed a motion in court Tuesday asking that the director be released from Swiss custody – the first step in his legal battle to avoid extradition to the United States for a 1977 statutory rape case.

The Swiss Federal Criminal Court announced the filing and said “the decision will be made within the next

weeks.� That statement meant the 76year-old filmmaker is not expected to be freed anytime soon from prison, as he would stay incarcerated through the verdict and through any appeal from either side.

That criminal court will decide on the legality of the American request for Polanski’s apprehension.

STOCKHOLM (AP) – A chipped and incomplete chess set believed to have featured in one of Ingmar Bergman’s best known films fetched one of the highest bids at a special auction for the late director’s belongings, auction house officials said Tuesday.

The set, which had been valued at around 10,00015,000 kronor ($1,430$2,150), sold for 1 million kronor ($142,000).

It is missing a white king and is believed to have been used in “The Seventh Seal,� one of Bergman’s most famous films.

Suit against CBS thrown out NEW YORK (AP) – A New York court on Tuesday dismissed Dan Rather’s $70 million breach of contract lawsuit against CBS Corp., noting that the network continued to pay the anchor $6 million a year even after he left the evening news broadcast.

Rather sued CBS and its top executives in 2007, claiming he had been removed from his “CBS Evening News� anchor post over a report that examined President George W. Bush’s military service.

In this Parmesan-Crusted Chicken Fingers recipe, keeping the oil low by “oven-frying” and including a tasty, low-calorie dipping sauce will make everyone happy at the dinner table.

Do it for the kids Experts say start early to teach healthy eating

BY JIM ROMANOFF FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

T

elevision and peers can trump parents when it comes to influencing what children eat, but that doesn’t mean families can’t fight back.

A Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health study found that parents have waning influence over what their kids eat. But it also found that the best defense is to start teaching healthy eating habits early.

Adopting common-sense approaches at home can help: First, be careful about forbidding certain foods. A good/bad approach often makes less healthy foods more attractive. It also limits children’s ability to develop the skills they need to make their own healthful food choices.

Second, quantity matters. The more foods children try, the more likely they will find healthy ones they enjoy. Give them the option of turning down a new dish as long as they give it a try. The empowering

option of refusal often results in a “Hey, I like this,” experience.

Third, make healthier foods seem like exciting treats. A colorful fruit salad, homemade wholegrain cookies and English muffin pizzas made with low-fat cheese are all fun foods that can provide your child with valuable nutrients.

Finally, you can always fight fire with fire. These Parmesan-crusted chicken fingers have all the flavor and appeal of the greasy fast-food classic, but are baked using an “oven-frying” technique that uses hardly any oil.

Adding Parmesan cheese and tangy Dijon mustard to crunchy, Japanese-style breadcrumbs (panko) gives these easy-to-prepare chicken fingers a sophisticated coating the whole family will enjoy.

Look for panko breadcrumbs in the Asian section of your market.

For even more kid appeal, serve the chicken fingers with a homemade honey mustard sauce, or a sweet-and-sour sauce made from apricot jam, cider vinegar, salt, pepper and a drop of hot sauce.

Parmesan-Crusted Chicken Fingers Servings: 4 Olive or vegetable oil cooking spray 2 ⁄3 cup panko (Japanesestyle) breadcrumbs 1 ⁄4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional) 1 ⁄4 teaspoon ground black pepper 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard 2 egg whites 1 pound chicken tenders

Reasons 2 Rhyme will present “Boundless,” the final show of its poetry series, at 8 p.m. Saturday at the Triad Stage in Greensboro. Admission is free and open to the public.

The one-man show will feature series creator and host Josephus III. “‘Boundless’ is the biggest show of my life – it is my story, my dreams, and my purpose,” said Josephus III. “I am honored that Reasons 2 Rhyme has opened so many doors and has brought so many people together through poetry.

It is my hope that ‘Boundless’ will only do that much more to further the cause.”

For more information about the show, contact Alana Allen at (336) 202-7119 or alana@mentalityenterprises. com. You can also get more information at www.reasons2rhyme.com.

Place a rack in the top third of the oven. Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Set a wire rack on a baking sheet and coat the rack lightly with cooking spray.

In a shallow bowl, stir together the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley (if using) and pepper. In another shallow bowl, whisk together the mustard and egg whites until frothy and opaque.

Dip each chicken tender in the egg white mixture, then in the breadcrumb mixture to coat all sides. Place on the prepared rack.

Spritz the top of each tender lightly and evenly with cooking spray, then turn and repeat on the other side. Bake until the crumb coating is golden brown and crisp and the chicken is no longer pink at the center, about 15 to 20 minutes. Serve immediately.

Food writers fostering culinary children

BY CARYN ROUSSEAU ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

C

HICAGO – During a Miami vacation, Nancy Tringali Piho’s 2-year-old son reached over and grabbed a piece of octopus from the table’s ceviche platter.

“He just couldn’t get enough of it,” she said.

“All the people in the restaurant were turning around. They couldn’t believe it.”

Piho turned the episode into the title of her new book, “My Two-Year-Old Eats Octopus: Raising Children Who Love to Eat Everything.”

She’s one of several culinary authors with recent books offering personal stories and tips for foodie parents looking to share the meals with their children – no matter what’s on the menu.

“When we go to restaurants, if they have a kid’s menu, that’s the last thing we look at,” said Hugh Garvey, features editor at Bon Appetit magazine and author with Matthew Yeomans of “Gastrokid Cookbook: Feeding a Foodie Family in a Fast-Food World.”

Garvey said his 8-year-old daughter and 5year-old son eat artisanal cheeses, anchovy and olive pizza and even bear meat.

“We say don’t cook down to your kids,” Garvey said. “Don’t condescend to them through

Matthew Amster-Burton helps his daughter Iris, 5, grind pork as they cook a dish called “Ants in a Tree” at their home in Seattle. food. Let them try anything and everything and leave it up to them. You can bias them and we try not to do that to them.”

Emily Franklin, author of “Too Many Cooks: Kitchen Adventures with 1 Mom, 4 Kids, and 102 Recipes,” said she doesn’t make separate meals

for her children and wants them to expand their palates. Her goal was to introduce her children to 100 different types of food over a year.

“We felt like the world is becoming a giant nugget – chicken nuggets and pizza nuggets,” Franklin said. “Kids are scared of trying new things. They rely on routine, but just being able to understand new stuff is not scary. Their willingness to try new things across the board is remarkable now.”

The movement comes out of a generation of foodie parents who want to share their culinary loves with their children, the authors said.

“As we have become sophisticated with our own palates, our children have followed along with us,” said Tanya Wenman Steel, editor of Epicurious.com and co-author of the book “Real Food for Healthy Kids.”

Other parents see it as a form of bonding.

Matthew Amster-Burton, who wrote “Hungry Monkey: A Food-Loving Father’s Quest to Raise an Adventurous Eater,” fed his 5-year-old daughter mushed and cut up pad thai and spicy enchiladas when she was 8 months old.

“Food is kind of our thing,” Amster-Burton said. “She’s happy to look through a cookbook with me. She’ll speculate about things she wants to eat.”

BRIDGE

Wednesday, Sept. 30, 2009 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Kieran Culkin, 27; Lacey Chabert, 27; Dominique Moceanu, 28; Jenna Elfman, 38 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Your unique way of doing things will capture the attention of someone who can help you along the way. You have already set the stage for success by working out the details, so take action and see where all your hard work can lead. An activity will lead you to the top people in an industry that interests you. Your numbers are 7, 12, 21, 25, 27, 34, 41 ARIES (March 21-April 19): An opportunity that will allow you to profit and learn at the same time will present itself. Make last-minute changes if it will ease your mind and secure your position.

Domestic or house problems will surface; stay calm. ★★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): An opportunity will occur -- be ready to take on the challenge. You won’t have to look far to find answers but verify all the facts you’ve been given. An exaggerated point of view can throw you off-course. ★★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You are facing a no-win situation that must be handled with diplomacy. One false move and you may end up defending your position, actions and your integrity.

Physical challenges and hard work will take your mind off pressing issues. ★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Run the show, call the shots and do your thing. That’s when you are happiest and do your best work. A home-based business will bring benefits down the road. Give extra care to an older friend or relative. ★★★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Temptation may get the better of you when it comes to parting with your hard-earned cash. Don’t believe the sales pitch you are given. Do your research. Chances are that whatever you are being told is too good to be true. ★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You’ll be inclined to take on someone else’s responsibility. In doing so, you will open up a channel of communication with someone who has something to offer. Meeting someone extraordinary will change the way you think about your future. ★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Think outside the box when it comes to your social networking or investment plans. You stand to profit in many ways if you get involved with people who can offer you the skills needed to complete something you are pursuing. ★★★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): If something doesn’t seem right to you, it probably isn’t. Don’t give in to anyone trying to convince you to make unnecessary changes. Stay put until you have everything in place and the protection you need to move forward. ★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Someone will criticize you for your inability to follow through with a promise. Trying to talk your way out of a situation may work in the initial stages but, sooner or later, you will be questioned and asked to keep your word. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t let past pressures or memories stand in your way. Old emotions may flare up but, in the end, you have to be rational and do what’s best for yourself. Love is in the stars. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Someone may be uncertain about where you fit into their future.

If you can’t get a straight answer, move on and cut your losses. Invest in yourself by signing up for a course, investing your money or doing something to update your look. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You may have to answer questions if you haven’t done things by the rules. A relationship will need a little tender-loving-care if you don’t want to send the wrong signal. A short trip for two can do wonders for your love life. ★★★

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

“Your honor,” the District Attorney intoned, “we will prove South committed a felony: He lost a cold game.”

“We’ll hear evidence,” said the judge.

“West led the king of spades against four hearts,” the DA said. “South falsecarded with his eight, trying to make East’s five appear encouraging, but West shifted to the queen of diamonds. South took the king, drew trumps, finessed in clubs – and lost a club and three spades.

FELONIOUS

DAILY QUESTION

“South’s play was felonious,” the DA went on.

“South must let the queen of diamonds win. He can take the next diamond, draw trumps, pitch a club on the ace of diamonds, cash the ace of clubs and lead the queen through East to set up his 10th trick.

After West, who didn’t open the bidding, showed the A-K of spades and Q-J of diamonds, South could place the king of clubs.”

“Guilty,” the judge ruled. “And charge West with misdefense. He can see that four hearts is cold unless East has the king of clubs. If West shifts to a club at Trick Two, South always fails.”

You hold: S 7 4 3 H K J 8 D A 8 4 C A Q J 6. You open one club, your partner responds one spade, you bid 1NT and he jumps to three hearts. What do you say?

ANSWER: Your correct bid is three spades. There are twin traps: One is to insist on 3NT even though partner has shown a shapely hand; the other is to suppress your support because your spades are weak. Partner may wish to know you have three cards in spades but can return to 3NT if he wishes.

West dealer N-S 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.

PUBLIC NOTICE (SPA) The Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Medical Assistance, hereby provides notice of its intent to revise the Medicaid State Plan to change the reimbursement for prescription drugs, implement aggregate rate reductions, and reduce the nursing facility cost ceiling in accordance with Session Law 2009-451 (SB 202). These SPA changes affect the rates and not the service.

General Assembly legislation reduces public and private provider rates for state fiscal years 2010 and 2011.

Specific exceptions include federally qualified health centers, rural health centers, school-based and school-linked health centers, State institutions, hospital outpatient, pharmacy, and the noninflationary components of the case-mix reimbursement system for skilled nursing facilities.

The legislation further changes the reimbursement for prescription drugs to Wholesale Acquisition Cost (WAC) + 7%; and reduces the reimbursement cost ceiling for nursing facilities to 102.6% of the State median cost.

The effective date is October 1, 2009 with the over all program reductions listed below.

The reductions are annualized over a nine month period (October 2009 - June 2010).

The frozen rates incorporated within these SPAs are effective July 1, 2009 thru September 30, 2009.

Demon Deacons regroup W

hat to do, what to do? Trying to get his team to bounce back from a sloppy, mistake-prone 27-24 overtime loss, Wake Forest coach Jim Grobe was unsettled Tuesday on how to divide practice time the rest of the week between teaching fundamentals and practicing the plan for dealing with N.C. State and quarterback Russell Wilson on Saturday at BB&T Field.

“As my good friend, (late Wake basketball coach) Skip Prosser would say, we are in a conundrum right now,” Grobe joked.

He didn’t have one, though, when determining that the Deacons were so bad against Boston College that they needed to go through a full-blown practice in pads Monday night instead of the normal runthroughs in helmets.

Grobe said he made that call in his mind after seeing Wake get off to a ragged start against Boston College, long before a full body of work that included 10 penalties for 84 yards, mental mistakes, missed assignments and losing their ACC opener and dropping to 2-2 when Riley Skinner fumbled on first-and-goal inside the Eagle 5-yard line on a botched play.

“I made it at the end of the first quarter,” Grobe said of the decision. “We weren’t a good fundamental football team. I wasn’t seeing guys getting in their stances and getting lined up properly. We were jumping offside on the offensive line a lot and getting holding calls.

“We usually come out and run around on Monday night in helmets. But, I felt that we needed to work on tackling and getting off the blocks and other things fundamentally that we couldn’t do in helmets.

We’re a team that needs to get better and that’s the only way I knew to get their attention.”

Redshirt senior linebacker Jonathan Jones said the team’s veterans weren’t surprised when they got an e-mail announcing the shift.

“We were expecting something to change,” Jones said.

“We haven’t played great this season. Coach Grobe is the type of coach that feels something needs to be done if he isn’t getting the best out of us.

He’ll find a way to push us to play better. So we were expecting a change.”

The full workout wasn’t the only departure from the normal for the Deacons on Monday night. Skinner and defensive leader Jon Russell led a players-only meeting trying to get the train back on

the track.

“The seniors were just trying to tell us to buckle down and play harder for the coaches and harder for SPORTS Wake Forest,” redshirt freshGreer man Kenny Smith Okoro said.

■■■ “Coming off that loss, they told us that we need to work harder. That’s all.”

Redshirt junior receiver Marshall Williams, one of the Deacon bright spots Saturday with 12 catches for 180 yards and a game-tying touchdown catch at the end of regulation, indicated other things were said at the meeting.

“We discussed our expectations and how we want to go about the season and what we want to do as players to change the attitude and such,” Williams said. “We talked about how we want to go out and give a better effort this week.

“With the talent we have on this team, the possibilities are endless. So we reinforced the motivation that we need to have going into these games against ACC opponents.”

Because some players were discouraged after the loss, Williams hailed the seniors for calling the meeting.

“We just have to flush losing to BC,” Williams said. “We have to move on to N.C. State because we can’t let a loss like Saturday’s beat us twice.”

Williams said Monday wasn’t the first time that seniors have called a players meeting during his time at Wake.

“We’ve had team meetings every year when the morale of the team seems down,” Williams explained. “Our senior leaders have picked us up every year.”

The meeting was held before practice. Jones said part of the message the seniors delivered was not to take Grobe’s call for tougher drills the wrong way.

“The biggest thing was to show the young guys the ropes and tell them this was not a bad thing or don’t take this as we’re in trouble or to panic that the season is going down the drain,” Russell said. “It’s one of those things that we’ve got to have a good attitude about and realize that the coaches are trying to push us so we can get better results on Saturday. The meeting was to reach out to them and show that all of this can have a good impact on our season.” gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Dallas linebacker Victor Butler (57) sacks Carolina quarterback Jake Delhomme (17) in the fourth quarter of the Cowboys 21-7 victory on Monday night.

Bye week gives Panthers respite from losing CHARLOTTE (AP) — Julius Peppers was invisible. Steve Smith made a costly error. Jon Beason lost his cool. Inexplicably, DeAngelo Williams rarely got the ball.

And Jake Delhomme kept turning it over.

There are no shortage of reasons why the Carolina Panthers dropped to 0-3 Monday night with a 21-7 loss to Dallas. It doesn’t make their fall from NFC South champions to a team in disarray any less jarring.

Now with a bye this weekend, the Panthers get nearly two weeks to think about their predicament, too.

“At least we can’t lose,” tackle Jordan Gross said.

With a turnover-machine offense that has abandoned the run and a poor-tackling, banged-up defense that’s become an opposing running back’s dream, the Panthers may need at least two weeks to fix what’s wrong.

Trouble is, it may already be too late. Since 1990, only three teams started 0-3 and made the playoffs.

It’s why Beason last week called the Cowboys game a “must-win.”

The middle linebacker was so agitated Monday he drew a 15-yard penalty for a late hit in the first half.

Beason’s frustration only grew in the second half, as the Cowboys finished with 212 yards rushing despite being without Marion Barber.

“That is unacceptable,” linebacker Thomas Davis said. “We feel like we want to be an elite defense in this league. And we can’t go out on any given night

and give up 200 yards rushing to anybody.”

The Panthers played their third straight game without starting strong safety Chris Harris (knee) and have a hole at defensive tackle with Maake Kemoeatu (Achilles’ tendon) out for the year.

It didn’t help that Peppers was a non-factor again, collecting only two tackles and causing no trouble for quarterback Tony Romo.

Making more than $1 million a game, the defensive end has managed four tackles and no sacks in the past two games.

Still, Carolina had a chance. The Panthers took over at their own 10 midway through the fourth quarter trailing 13-7. Williams’ 11-yard run —one of his only 11 carries — gave Carolina its initial first down of the second half with 5:45 left.

Then Delhomme dropped back to throw a slant pass to Smith.

They’ve been together for seven years, but Smith broke off the route instead of stepping in front of cornerback Terence Newman.

Easy interception, and 27 yards later Newman was celebrating the clinching touchdown.

“I got caught trying to alter my route in a way that put Jake in a bad light and put Jake in a bad situation,” Smith said. “That falls on me completely, 100 percent. I second-guessed my route and I shouldn’t have. The bottom line is that I screwed Jake.”

Delhomme then lost a fumble before it was over, giving him a hard-to-believe 12 interceptions and three lost fumbles in his last 15 quarters dating to January’s playoff meltdown against Arizona.

HIT AND RUN

---

A

s the Carolina Panthers head into their bye week, they might want to start waving bye-bye to their postseason hopes.

Carolina’s woeful 21-7 loss at Dallas late Monday night dropped the Panthers to 0-3 on the season.

Realistically, teams need to post at least a 9-7 record to carry playoff hopes.

That means Carolina has to go 9-4 or better the rest of the way.

Good luck with that, guys.

The schedule features a few winnable games in the coming weeks. After the bye, Carolina plays host to Washington, goes to Tampa Bay, entertains Buffalo and travels to Arizona.

All of those games are within reach. Run that table and the Panthers stand 4-3.

But hold your horses, Panther fans.

The rest of the schedule is as brutal as watching “Goodfellas” uncensored.

Carolina’s slate the last nine weeks?

Try at New Orleans, home to Atlanta and

Miami, at the Jets, Tampa Bay at home, at New England, Minnesota at home, at the Giants and home to New Orleans.

Does anybody see five or more wins coming out of that gauntlet?

I think not.

It’s too early to wave the white flag. Lots can happen in 13 weeks of any NFL season.

But I wouldn’t rush out to reserve those Panther playoff tickets, either.

– MARK MCKINNEY ENTERPRISE SPORTS EDITOR

Less than four months after graduation from Wesleyan Christian Academy, Wil Myers was more than noticed for his play in the Pioneer League for advanced rookies.

Myers, a thirdround draft pick by the Kansas City Royals, was named this week as the top Pioneer League prospect by Baseball America.

In 68 at bats over 18 games for Idaho Falls, he collected 18 hits, resulting in a .426 average.

He scored 29 runs, laced seven doubles, slapped one triple and drilled four homers.

He also drove in 14 runs, walked nine times, had 15 strikeouts and two stolen bases.

His on-base percentage was .488 and his slugging percentage was .735.

Jake Oderizi, a right-handed pitcher drafted in the first round by the Brewers, was rated as the Pioneer League’s second-best prospect.

Myers was signed as a catcher.

Defensively, he threw out five of 11 runners who attempted to steal second.

To get more work, Myers went from the Pioneer League to an instructional league in Arizona.

He is expected to play there for another two months and then return home.

HIGH POINT â&#x20AC;&#x201C; While a number of players were iffy for last Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game because of the flu, High Point Central still flew past East Forsyth to open the Piedmont Triad 4A Conference season with a victory.

Bison stars such as AlDaQuan Teasley and Evan Aguilar missed plenty of school and practice time leading up to the trip to East, but Bison coach Wayne Jones said only Teasley stayed on the sidelines.

No matter. In stepped sophomore Lashuran Monk to the running back spot. He went for 107 yards and a touchdown on 19 carries.

Remarkably, Akeem Langham â&#x20AC;&#x201C; sliding into the offense after Monk shifted positions â&#x20AC;&#x201C; also ended up with a touchdown while grabbing three catches for 54 yards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had to play a couple of guys both ways and Akeem Langham played almost every series of offense and defense,â&#x20AC;?

Jones said of the standout defender who returned a fumble for a touchdown two weeks ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good enough athlete that, if we can keep him on the field, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to do it.

We just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to use him every down.â&#x20AC;?

Evan Aguilar, the standout Bison defensive back, also lands in the offense from time to time, but he also was battling illness Friday and admitted to being weak enough to have missed a few tackles. One of the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interception leaders along with teammate Roger Greene, Aguilar didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need any picks Friday as Langham came up with one and the Bison forced two fumbles in the 20-14 victory.

A bye week â&#x20AC;&#x201C; filled with good health, Jones hopes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is Centralâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reward for a 5-1 start. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll practice two days this week and give the guys a chance to rest,â&#x20AC;? the coach said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re back at it in full swing next week with some tough conference games ahead of us.â&#x20AC;?

How tough? It starts with Northwest Guilford and Parkland before finishing against Glenn, Southwest Guilford and Ragsdale in what is shaping up to be a rough-and-tumble championship chase.

When Thomasville debuts in the Central Carolina 2A in two weeks at Central Davidson, the Bulldogs likely will be among the favorites despite entering with that 2-4 nonconference slate.

Brown said without missing a beat when asked about the CCC race. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From a distance it looks like weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all just so-so and it should be a struggle to see who can play the best over the next few weeks.â&#x20AC;? shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

Hokies vow not to take Blue Devils lightly to win the game just like they did last year. I can’t really underestimate the team or the program or the players at all. They were very close to beating us last year.”

After struggling in all three phases of the game against Alabama and No. 23 Nebraska, the Hokies appeared to put it all together against No. 17 Miami last Saturday. They ran for 272 yards, held the Hurricanes to 209 total yards and scored a touchdown on a blocked punt.

With Blacksburg still buzzing over Virginia Tech’s 31-7 thrashing of the favored Hurricanes, Beamer tried to ground his team with research about teams losing after big wins:

BYU beat Oklahoma to get to No. 7, then lost to Florida State.

Florida State beat BYU, then lost to South Florida.

Southern Cal beat Ohio State to get to No. 3, then lost to Washington.

Washington beat Southern Cal, then lost to Stanford.

Oklahoma State beat Georgia to get to No. 5, then lost to Houston.

Throw in a quick film review of Duke’s visit to Lane Stadium last season, when the Hokies turned the ball over five times and needed a 23yard interception return for a touchdown with 1:23 to play to go comfortably ahead, and the players sound like they’ve gotten the message.

Doctor: Muscular neck saved USC tailback Johnson LOS ANGELES (AP) — Southern California tailback Stafon Johnson probably wouldn’t have survived his weightlifting accident without his muscular athlete’s neck, which helped maintain his airway when a weight bar crashed down on it, a doctor said Tuesday.

Johnson could communicate non-verbally with his family members and teammates on Tuesday morning, less than 24 hours after his benchpressing accident in the Trojans’ weight room.

The bar crushed his neck and larynx, which required seven hours of surgery.

Johnson’s fitness helped him survive, said Dr. Gudata Hinika, the trauma medical director at California Hospital Medical Center.

Johnson is unlikely to

play again for USC, but coach Pete Carroll is grateful for the team leader’s Johnson improved health.

“He’s not talking, but he was doing his wave and writing,” Carroll said. “It’s very uplifting for his mom and his family and all the guys who got a chance to go down there.”

Hinika said Johnson is recovering well and is in stable condition. Johnson, who was taken away from USC’s campus wearing a neck brace, woke up Tuesday morning after undergoing an emergency tracheotomy, followed by reconstructive surgery.

Johnson’s mother, Kim Mallory, happened

to be working at the same downtown Los Angeles hospital where her son was transported Monday.

It’s unclear when Johnson will be able to speak again, but he’s expected to fully recover. The news was greeted with sighs of relief at USC’s Heritage Hall, where the seventh-ranked Trojans gathered before Tuesday’s practice in preparation for Saturday’s key game at No. 24 California.

“We’re connected. This is a very tight program and a very tight team,” Carroll said. “Stafon has been a spiritual leader and a leader on the field for a long time here.

We’re going to do everything we can to support him and his family. This morning, everyone has been encouraged.”

Miami QB seeks rebound against Sooners CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) — Miami quarterback Jacory Harris has been told his confidence could be perceived as arrogance.

So this week, he’s trying sarcasm.

“They’re a wonderful team,” Harris said in assessing No. 8 Oklahoma, Saturday’s opponent for the 17th-ranked Hurricanes. “And I might be a little nervous coming into this game.”

That almost certainly won’t be the case.

Still, even Harris will acknowledge that there’s a less-than-ideal combination of things right now facing Miami

(2-1). The Hurricanes are coming off an offensive debacle in a 31-7 loss at Virginia Tech last weekend. And the Sooners (2-1), they happen to be the nation’s best defense so far, allowing a stingy 1.2 yards per carry and a total of 14 points, all of those in a Week 1 loss to BYU. Harris, though, isn’t wavering.

It’ll take more than a blowout loss and a date with last year’s national runner-up to make him worry.

“Oklahoma is a great team,” Harris said.

“They’re returning, what, nine of their 11

starters on defense? It’s just going to be a challenge. Right now, it is going to be the toughest team we’ll probably face this whole year.

But it’s always good to go against the top dogs ... it’s always great to play those teams and see where you’re at.”

These teams met two years ago. Miami saw where it was that day, getting blown out of Norman, 51-13.

A high school senior at the time, Harris remembers watching the first few minutes of that game on television, then flipping to something else.

Dolphins trade for Chiefs reserve Thigpen MIAMI (AP) — Chad Pennington’s season officially ended with a trade that didn’t involve him.

The Miami Dolphins placed Pennington on the reserve-injured list to create a roster spot for quarterback Tyler Thigpen, who was acquired Tuesday from the Kansas City Chiefs for an undis-

closed draft pick.

Pennington hurt his right shoulder Sunday at San Diego, an injury that leaves his career in jeopardy. At 33, he likely faces a third operation on the shoulder since 2005.

Thigpen shores up depth behind secondyear pro Chad Henne, who is expected to make

his first NFL start Sunday against Buffalo.

Rookie Pat White is the Dolphins’ other quarterback.

Thigpen, a third-year pro, went 1-10 as a starter for the woeful Chiefs last year and threw for 2,608 yards with 18 touchdowns and 12 interceptions.

Charlotte Bobcats rookie Gerald Henderson (left) guards Dontell Jefferson during the opening day of practice for the NBA team Tuesday.

Bobcats tell Henderson to attack and defend CHARLOTTE (AP) — Gerald Henderson was about to attempt a 3-pointer near the end of his first NBA practice Tuesday when Michael Jordan pounced.

It was difficult to make out exactly what the Charlotte Bobcats managing partner said, but it had something to do with Henderson being too far from the basket.

“He was joking with me about my 3-pointer,” Henderson said. “But I can expect that from him.”

Welcome to Tar Heelland, Duke rookie.

From Jordan, to coach Larry Brown, to assistant coaches and point guard Raymond Felton, Henderson’s college shade of blue is a little too dark for these parts. But it didn’t stop this North Carolinadominated franchise from snagging the shooting guard with the 12th pick in June’s NBA draft.

Now Henderson is expected to make the Bobcats a better defensive team, more athletic, and even maybe hit a shot or

two — while serving as an easy target for being on the other side of college basketball’s fiercest rivalry.

“Yeah, it does get old,” Henderson said. “I’ve got to hear it every day.”

The 6-foot-5 Henderson has made a good first impression on the floor, and Brown praised for being “well-coached” by Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski.

“And going against Stevie Graham and Raja (Bell) and Raymond (Felton) every day is going to be the greatest gift he could have,” Brown said.

“I think he’s really going to be fine.”

Brown made it clear his well-known deficiency — 3-point shooting — isn’t a concern for now. Henderson shot just 33 percent in three seasons behind the shorter college arc at Duke. He shot 38 percent from the field in NBA summer league play and was inconsistent from 3point range Tuesday as the Bobcats opened training camp.

But Brown wants Hen-

derson to attack the basket and defend hard in games and work on his shot when he can. He’s confident he’ll develop a consistent jumper, just as Bell, the shooting guard he’s playing behind, did a decade ago.

“I had Raja Bell and he couldn’t hit the floor three out of five times when I was coaching,” Brown said of his first stint with a young Bell in Philadelphia from 2000-02. “Then when we made the trade for him (in December), I looked it up, he was the leading 3-point shooter in the NBA. “He worked at it and became a great 3-point shooter. I think Gerald is a lot like Raja and lot further along than Raja was when Raja was a rookie.”

The athleticism of the son of former NBA player Gerald Henderson Sr. is what jumped out at his new teammates. Henderson came to Charlotte several weeks before camp, showing in pickup games a quick first step and ability to get to the rim.

NBA set to go with replacement refs THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The NBA has told teams it’s going ahead with replacement referees, days after the league thought a deal had been reached with locked-out officials.

The league sent a memo Tuesday informing teams it had “no expectation of concluding a timely labor contract.”

The memo, obtained by The Associated Press, follows the latest failure in negotiations.

According to the memo, the sides had agreed in principle on a new two-year deal Friday.

But the National Basketball Referees Association rejected the NBA’s proposal Sunday.

BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) — Virginia Tech overcame a loss to No. 3 Alabama in its opener and has managed to come through a tough early schedule with a 3-1 record and the No. 6 ranking.

So maybe the Hokies can finally exhale at struggling Duke Saturday.

Not going to happen.

Coach Frank Beamer and several players remember how the heavily favored Hokies had to fight last year to beat the Blue Devils 14-3.

“I just think about last year, to be honest,” Hokies tailback Ryan Williams said Tuesday.

“Last year in the fourth quarter, the score was 7-3. ... I know they’re capable of coming in to try

FDA delays ruling on cancer vaccine WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Food and Drug Administration has delayed a decision on GlaxoSmithKlineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vaccine for cervical cancer, according to the British drugmaker.

The FDA was scheduled to announce its ruling Tuesday on whether to approve Cervarix, but a Glaxo spokeswoman said the review will continue.

The announcement came one day after British health officials reported a 14-year-old girl died a few hours after receiving the vaccine.

Walgreen profit falls, but tops forecast NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Drugstore operator Walgreen Co. said prescription drug sales rose in the fiscal fourth quarter, pushing the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s results past Wall Street expectations and lifting shares to an annual high.

The Deerfield, Ill., company said its â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rewiring for Growthâ&#x20AC;? savings plan started to pay off during the quarter, and also indicated the effects of the recession may be easing. Walgreen shares climbed to an annual high on the results.

The shares jumped $3.57, or 10 percent, to $37.76 in morning trading and peaked at $38.44.

YouTube: Warner videos to return LOS ANGELES â&#x20AC;&#x201C; YouTube says music videos from Warner Music Group Corp. will return to the video site in the coming months after a nine-month dispute over deal terms.

Most of the catalog of videos from artists such as Madonna, Metallica and Green Day will be available for free viewing.

YouTubeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head of music partnerships, Chris Maxcy, said Tuesday the companies will share advertising revenue from the videos, with Warner getting the majority share.

GEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CEO: Recovery slowest in decades SINGAPORE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; General Electric Co. chief executive Jeffrey Immelt warned Tuesday that high unemployment and slower lending will drag on U.S. economic growth, likely resulting in the weakest recovery in decades.

Immelt suggested the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest economy could be facing its slowest recovery from a recession since before the 1970s as increased government regulation and bank consolidation pinch off available credit.

Joblessness, which reached a 26-year high of 9.7 percent in August, will also weigh on growth by undermining consumer spending, he said.

ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

Consumer confidence drops NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Americansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; worries about job security flared up in September, causing a widely watched barometer of consumer confidence to dip unexpectedly and raising more concern about the upcoming holiday shopping season.

The New York-based Conference Board, a private research group, said that its Consumer Confidence Index dipped to 53.1 in September, down from the revised 54.5 reading in August. Economists surveyed

by Thomson Reuters had expected a reading of 57.

The index had enjoyed a three-month climb fueled fueled by signs that the economy might be stabilizing. That followed a historic low in February of 25.3 and a bumpy road after June as rising unemployment has caught up with shoppers.

A reading above 90 means

the economy is on solid footing. Above 100 signals strong growth.

While the confidence index has doubled from the historic low in February, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still about half of the historic average of 94.8, and below the 61.4 level right before the collapse of Lehman Brothers last fall Paul Dales, U.S. economist at Capital Economics Ltd, said that despite a rally in the stock market, shoppers are fixating on the job market and declining wages. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Falling employment and incomes are undermining confidence and AP are likely to continue to do so,â&#x20AC;?

Home prices rise for third straight month NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Home prices rose for the third month in a row in July, new data Tuesday showed, more proof a fragile housing recover is underway.

The Standard & Poorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s/ Case-Shiller home price index of 20 major cities rose 1.2 percent from June to a reading of 143.05.

Though home prices are still 13.3 percent below July a year ago, the annual declines have slowed in all 20 cities for the sixth straight month. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We expected another gain but this is remarkable,â&#x20AC;? wrote Ian Shepherdson, chief U.S. Economist for High-Frequency Economics. He noted the index has risen at an 8 percent annualized rate in

the three months to July, the best performance since early 2006.

The index, however, is down about 33 percent from the peak in mid-2006.

Home prices are now at levels not seen since the third quarter of 2003. And prices in Las Vegas, Detroit and Seattle are still falling, on a seasonally adjusted basis.

Prices in Las Vegas, one of the most speculative markets during the boom, are down more almost 55 percent from their peak.

In August, almost 80 percent of home resales in Nevada were either a foreclosure or a sale below the value of the mortgage, according to a survey by the National Association of Realtors.

NEW YORK (AP) – A surprise drop in consumer confidence tripped up investors Tuesday, a day after two corporate takeovers set off a steep market rally.

Stocks fell after the Conference Board said its consumer confidence index fell to 53.1 in September.

That was down from 54.5 in August and much lower than the reading of 57 that economists had been expecting.

The private research group attributed the drop to concerns about the labor market, saying consumers are still worried about losing their jobs. Consumer confidence has been a focus for the stock market in recent months, and many analysts warn a turnaround in the economy won’t

hold if consumers don’t start picking up spending and employers add jobs.

The report offset early enthusiasm over a third straight monthly increase in home prices.

Stocks broke a threeday losing streak Monday after news of several big acquisitions signaled to investors that corporate America is feeling more confident about the economy and willing to take on more risk.

According to preliminary calculations, the Dow Jones industrials fell 47.16, or 0.5 percent, to 9,742.20, chipping away part of Monday’s 124-point gain. The S&P 500 index slipped 2.37, or 0.2 percent, to 1,060.61, and the Nasdaq composite index fell 6.70, or 0.3 percent, to 2,124.04.

miums for 2010-2012. The proposal could take effect after a 30-day public comment period.

It was the first time the FDIC has required prepaid insurance fees.

“I do think this is a good balance,” FDIC Chairman Sheila Bair said. The plan requires the banking industry “to step up” while spreading the financial hit to banks over a number of years, she said.

An insurance payment by the industry of $45 billion “is not going to constrain lending,” she said.

The insurance fund has been sapped by billions from a rash of bank failures that began in mid2008. The banking industry prefers that option over a special emergency fee – which would be the second this year.

Without additional special fees or increases in regular premiums, the insurance fund – at $10.4 billion at the end of June – will become “significantly negative” next year and could remain in deficit until 2013, the FDIC is now projecting.

Ninety-five banks have failed so far this year as losses have mounted on commercial real estate and other soured loans amid the most severe financial climate in decades. That has cost the fund about $25 billion, the FDIC said Tuesday. The $10.4 billion already was the fund’s lowest point since 1992, at the height of the savings-and-loan crisis. That is equivalent to 0.22 percent of insured deposits, below a congressionally mandated minimum of 1.15 percent.

Official warns Fed on interest rates be equal in speed and intensity” to when the Fed was slashing rates to battle the recession and the financial crisis, said Richard Fisher, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas.

Although Fisher has a reputation for being one of the Fed’s toughest inflation fighters, it marked the second such warning by a central bank official in recent days. Fed member Kevin

Warsh on Friday said the central bank will need to move swiftly when the time comes to raise rates.

It’s all part of a high-wire act that the Fed has to perform as the economy transitions from recession to recovery.

If the Fed raises rates and reels in the unprecedented support too soon, it could short-circuit the rebound.

WASHINGTON (AP) – To prevent inflation from taking off, the Federal Reserve will need to start boosting interest rates quickly and aggressively once the economy is back on firmer footing, a Fed official warned Tuesday.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Federal regulators expect bank failures to cost the deposit insurance fund about $100 billion in the next four years and the fund to be running at a deficit Wednesday.

That is higher than an earlier estimate of $70 billion in failure costs through 2013.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. made the projections Tuesday as its board voted to propose requiring banks to prepay an estimated $45 billion in regular insurance pre-

Panasonic, Sanyo win EU takeover approval BRUSSELS – Panasonic Corp. and Sanyo Electric Co. must sell off a European plant that makes batteries to win EU antitrust approval for the $9 billion deal creating one of the world’s biggest electronics makers, the EU said Tuesday.

Panasonic, the world’s biggest plasma TV maker, is launching a tender offer to take over struggling Sanyo, hoping to take advantage of the smaller rival’s green businesses in solar panels and rechargeable batteries. The European Commission said the deal could go ahead only because the two Japan-based companies had agreed to sell a battery factory to resolve possible competition problems.

Oil prices dip on waning confidence NEW YORK – Oil prices fell Tuesday on a new report suggesting that U.S. consumers remain unsure about the economy’s direction and one day before the government releases data expected to show a build up in crude supplies.

Benchmark crude for November delivery fell 33 cents $66.51 on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

New consumer protection rules proposed WASHINGTON – The Federal Reserve proposed rules Tuesday to better protect Americans from sudden hikes in interest rates on credit cards.

The proposal would generally bar rate increases during the first year after an account is opened.

It also would ban – with a few exceptions – increasing the rate on existing credit card balances.

For instance, if a customer is behind more than 60 days on a payment, the rate on the existing balance can be boosted.

His family encouraged him to begin attending the Archdale Senior Center, offered by the Randolph County Senior Adults Association and a recipient of your United Way donations. At first, Barney says he didn’t feel like the Center was the place for him, but he persevered and now he can’t imagine not going every day! A guitar player since the age of 22, he often brings his steel guitar and amp, and leads the participants in singing all kinds of songs. “I like to be active,” says Barney, “and I enjoy meeting people my age. Spending the day by myself wasn’t very pleasant, so we’re all here getting old together!”
