GUILFORD COUNTY – With early voting winding down, elections officials will start delivering electronic voting machines to precincts as early as today for the Nov. 3 nonpartisan municipal elections. Early voting ends at 1 p.m. Saturday for Guilford and Davidson county voters and 5 p.m. Friday for Randolph County voters. As of Monday, just 1,200 ballots had been cast in Guilford County at electronic polling stations and by mail, Elections Director George Gilbert said Tuesday. “I think the voting has been behind what we had two years ago,” Gilbert told the Guilford County Board of Elections. Just 3,500 people voted during the early voting season in 2007. It costs as much as $4,000 to operate an early voting site. “We have tested the voting machines and they are working properly,” Gilbert said. There will be fewer voters in the JamestownHigh Point area this year because High Point has no municipal elections. With an uncontested Jamestown mayoral race and six candidates vying for four Town Council seats, only a moderate turnout is expected. Meanwhile, Davidson County voters in Thomasville, Wallburg and Midway will vote for mayor and council seats, as will voters in Trinity in Randolph County. Among other cities and towns having elections are Lexington, Asheboro, Denton, Pleasant Garden, Oak Ridge, Stokesdale, Summerfield, Gibsonville and Whitsett. “The voting could pick up later for the Greensboro elections,” Gilbert said. High Point and Archdale officials moved their elections to even-numbered years.

HIGH POINT – The Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously approved a Market Overlay District after numerous community members spoke in favor and in opposition of the overlay. The proposal is based on a City Project plan that recommends limiting the development of new showrooms to one area within the city, thereby allowing a more concentrated area for the High Point Market. It allows current showrooms to be grandfathered in, but requires permission from the city to expand. It does not allow any new showrooms to be built outside of the district. City planners said the district would allow other businesses to thrive downtown besides showrooms as well. The commission favorably recommended the proposal to the City Council, and a public hearing will be held on Nov. 16 at 5:30 p.m. in City Council chambers. Commission member Jay Wagner said a downtown area was the heart and soul of any city, and

Stickley Furniture on Elm Street is one of several small, independent showrooms not included in the Market Overlay District. Company officials say it may pull out of showing at the High Point Market. the High Point Market had been both a blessing and a curse to the city. “The furniture market has served as the economic engine that has built this city, but it has also robbed us of our downtown,” he said. Showroom owners not included in the district expressed concern for their property at the meeting. Arash Yaraghi of Safavieh, a New York-based manufacturer and importer of fine rugs, had plans to build a $5 million building on the corner of Kivett Drive and Lindsay Avenue, outside of the district. “I urge you not to act hastily,” he said to the com-

mission. “If this district is passed, I will not be able to develop this building.” Randy Short, a furniture manufacturer and owner of a showroom at 35 N. Wrenn St., said it was unfair that the district lines do not include his property, which is across the street from its boundaries. “Because my building is on the wrong side of the road, it will have no value (under the plan),” he said. “I’m not adamantly opposed to the idea of a showroom district, but, if we are going to have this, please be smart about it.” phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

DAVIDSON COUNTY – Davidson County’s annual Band Night has been rescheduled to 5:45 p.m. Nov. 3. The Band Night, which was canceled Tuesday because of rain, will take place at West Davidson High School. Admission is $5 for adults, $2 for students, and children 5 years old and younger are admitted free. Each fall, Davidson County high school bands from Lexington City Schools, Thomasville City Schools and Davidson County Schools get together for Band Night. The showcase, which includes a special performance from the 2nd Marine Division Band from Camp Lejeune, allows the

Airport officials expect to keep key NYC service BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GREENSBORO – Piedmont Triad International Airport leaders say they expect to keep service to a key airport in New York City after US Airways and Delta Air Lines complete a deal to shift service along the East Coast. During the summer, Delta and US Airways announced a transaction that would lead to US Airways decreasing its flights from LaGuardia

Airport in New York City and adding flights from Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. US Airways and Delta would swap what’s known as slots at the two airports. PTIA officials are interested in US Airways’ possible reduction of service from LaGuardia and whether Delta or another carrier would restore all the flights to PTIA. US Airways is the only carrier from PTIA to LaGuardia, with six daily flights. “That’s a top market for

us,” said Henry Isaacson, chairman of the Piedmont Triad Airport Authority, during the governing board’s monthly meeting Tuesday. Isaacson and PTIA Executive Director Ted Johnson said they have received many questions from travelers about the future of PTIA service to LaGuardia. After talking with US Airways and Delta representatives, Isaacson said “at this point” he believes PTIA will maintain LaGuardia service.

But Isaacson acknowledged it’s unclear what carriers would provide the service to LaGuardia once the deal between Delta and US Airways is completed. There’s no time frame on completion of the deal, which requires federal regulatory approval, Isaacson said. US Airways and Delta are the two largest carriers serving PTIA, providing two-thirds of the airport’s daily flights.

currently under way. Known formally as the PACCT-1/TAILORx, this trial uses a method that focuses on a tumor’s individual genetic makeup. “It helps to individualize the treatment based on that person’s tumor,” said Virginia Deaton, a clinical research specialist at the hospital. “It actually looks at the person. It caters to their tumor type and doesn’t clump them all into one group.” The testing trial can determine if a patient needs chemotherapy, hormonal therapy or both. Deaton said this was important because it lets doctors know which patients can be spared of chemotherapy. “Most of the participants in our trials like

Impact of budget cuts gets focus at community meeting BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

LEXINGTON – The impacts of budget cuts on the 2009-10 school year for Davidson County Schools highlighted a community meeting Tuesday night with the system’s superintendent. Held at Extended Day School in Lexington, Superintendent Fred Mock participated in a 90-minute question-and-answer session with parents. The meeting was part of the superintendent’s SystemWide Advisory Panel. Mock holds the meetings three to four times a year. On the subject of budget cuts, Mock discussed the system lacking substitutes for kindergarten assistants, freezing the purchase of student textbooks and the issue of no longer having full-time school resources at middle schools in the county.

Mock said the No. 1 priority for Davidson County Schools was to protect full-time jobs for employees who have health insurance benefits. Mock noted the system lost 95 positions, the majority coming from attrition and retirements, this year due to the budget cuts. “We are concerned that next year may be worse than last year,” he said. “We are concerned because state revenue is not coming back.” According to Mock, Davidson County Schools also decided to put a freeze on textbooks so it could save positions. The superintendent said the N.C. General Assembly allowed school systems this year to spend textbook dollars to pay employee salaries. “We have got some people sharing textbooks,” said Mock, noting once again the priority to save

jobs. Mock also said the system is not purchasing a lot of furniture or buying vehicles this year. At the meeting, one parent raised the issue of the system having to cut the jobs of school resource officers at all of the middle schools. Jay Temple, the system’s executive director of auxiliary services, said the system does have a strategy for the high school resource officers to visit the middle schools each week. “I’d like to have a DARE officer in every school,” Mock said. “I worry as much about safety in the elementary schools. We live in a crazy time with people doing things that are sick. We have elementary students come to school sometimes and we find people on our campus who shouldn’t be there. I worry about safety in all of our schools.”

Pakistan kills 42 militants in anti-Taliban push ISLAMABAD – Pakistan pressed an offensive deeper into Taliban territory along the Afghan border Tuesday, claiming to have killed 42 militants in the latest stage of an assault seen as crucial in defeating extremism in the nuclear-armed country. The assault into South Waziristan’s unforgiving mountains has triggered a bloody backlash from militants, who are determined to bring the war out of the remote, northwestern region and into the country’s cities in hopes of eroding public and political support.

Drill in Israel may shape European missile shield TEL AVIV, Israel – A U.S. military officer said Tuesday that a major missile defense exercise staged by American and Israeli forces will help the development of a planned NATO missile shield for Europe. Some 2,000 U.S. and Israeli personnel are holding maneuvers this week and next to test technology that would protect Israel from a missile attack, setting up radar arrays along the coast and deploying naval vessels offshore.

Forces search for couple missing in pirate area MOGADISHU, Somalia – International naval forces hunted on Tuesday for a British couple feared taken by Somali pirates while sailing from the Seychelles islands, and as night fell units were trailing three suspicious vessels. Cmdr. John Harbour of the European Union Naval Force said one of its helicopters spotted a yacht towing two skiffs about 200 miles from the pirate stronghold of Haradhere. He said it was too dark to read the vessel’s name but its location suggested it could be the Paul and Rachel Chandlers’ yacht.

China to hunt remains at U.S. bomber crash site BEIJING – China will search for the remains of U.S. victims from an Air Force bomber that crashed nearly 60 years ago, state media said Tuesday. Efforts to find missing servicemen are deeply symbolic for the U.S. and Chinese militaries, whose ties have been strained by U.S. criticism of China’s military buildup and Chinese objections to U.S. surveillance operations. Reports say the U.S. bomber caught fire and crashed on Nov. 5, 1950, while flying over southern Guangdong province.

Ex- Bosnian Serb President Plavsic set free BELGRADE, Serbia – Former Bosnian Serb President Biljana Plavsic, sentenced in 2003 by a U.N. war crimes tribunal to 11 years in prison, returned to her home in Belgrade on Tuesday after an early release from a Swedish jail. Plavsic flew in from Stockholm on a Bosnian Serb government plane. She was whisked away in a car that drove her straight from the tarmac to her downtown Belgrade apartment.

Japanese hope Obama will visit A-bomb cities TOKYO – A speech and a Nobel prize have raised hopes in Japan that Barack Obama will become the first sitting American president to visit Hiroshima or Nagasaki, the two cities devastated by U.S. atomic bombs in World War II. Past presidents have avoided a visit that could raise controversy at home, and U.S. officials say it is highly unlikely Obama will travel to either city during a two-day stop in Tokyo next month.

Re-Stalinization of subway sparks debate MOSCOW – A Moscow subway station is the newest focus of Russia’s bitter dispute over the legacy of Josef Stalin, whose outsize shadow still haunts the nation more than 50 years after his death. Critics of the Communist era were outraged when old Soviet national anthem lyrics praising Stalin were restored to a rotunda in the Kurskaya station this summer. Now there is talk of putting a statue of the dictator back where one used to stand, facing commuters entering the station.

the big single shipment called for under U.N. provisions. Western powers say itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s critical for Iran to send out at least 70 percent of its uranium store in one load to eliminate â&#x20AC;&#x201C; at least temporarily â&#x20AC;&#x201C; its op-

tions to make a nuclear weapon. A significantly lower amount or gradual shipments by Iran could jeopardize a key part of the proposal, which was reached after talks last week that included the United States.

Afghan protesters shout anti-U.S. slogans as others set fire to an effigy of U.S. President Barack Obama in Balkh province, north of Kabul, Afghanistan, Tuesday.

October deadliest month for U.S. in Afghan war KABUL (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Roadside bombs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the biggest killer of U.S. soldiers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; claimed eight more American lives Tuesday, driving the U.S. death toll to a record level for the third time in four months as President Barack Obama nears a decision on a new strategy for the troubled war. The improvised explosive devices or IEDs, are responsible for between 70 percent and 80 percent of the casualties among U.S. and coalition forces in Afghanistan and have become a weapon of â&#x20AC;&#x153;strategic influence,â&#x20AC;? said Lt. Gen. Thomas Metz in Washington. The attacks Tuesday followed one of

the deadliest days for the U.S. military operation in Afghanistan.

KABUL (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; NATO-led forces have recovered the remains of three American military contractors from the wreckage of a U.S. Army reconnaissance plane that crashed two weeks ago in rugged mountains, the military said Tuesday. The Army C-12 Huron twin-engine turboprop had been missing since it crashed Oct. 13 while on a routine mission in Nuristan province, a Taliban insurgent stronghold.

Many fear the deadlock will delay elections. Tuesday over the thorny issue of the oil-rich city of Kirkuk, an Iraqi lawmaker said. The new snag came as an al-Qaida-linked group claimed responsibility for the twin suicide truck bombings in the heart of Baghdad on Sunday that

killed at least 155 people, including 24 children. Many fear the political deadlock over the new law will delay elections, now slated for January, and open the door to renewed violence in Iraq after it stepped back from the brink of civil war two years ago. Mahmoud Othman, a Kurdish lawmaker, told The Associated Press that an emergency proposal by the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leaders to break the deadlock over the election law had fallen apart over the fractious northern city split between Arabs and Kurds.

COMMENTARY: Is Obama generating hope or offering appeasement? TOMORROW

Opinion Page Editor: Vince Wheeler vwheeler@hpe.com (336) 888-3517

We’re witnessing the demise of the middle class The American middle class is under attack and may never return to what has made America great. The administration appears more interested in passing Obama Care, social change, attacking Fox News and blaming Bush than doing something to create jobs and help small businesses. Can these people really be this stupid or is it just the “Chicago way”? The current stimulus bill has been a joke as far as creating jobs, but they did spend millions to help save the porno industry and finance the liberals’ wish list. Here are a few present and future negatives that will affect the middle class: • We have lost millions of manufacturing jobs to China and Mexico and many will never return. • Trillion dollar deficit is projected for each of the next 10 years along with printing money to pay deficit or we just borrow from China. • Bush tax cuts will expire, resulting in a big tax increase for the middle class. • ObamaCare is expected to cost the average American family thousands of dollars more each year than your present private insurance. Latest Senate bill made ObamaCare more clearly at 1,502 pages. • Home foreclosures continue at a record pace and little is being done to help. • Middle class families are spending all their retirement savings to survive and nothing will be left when retirement comes around. • The cap and trade bill will add thousands to utilities bills and gas for cars. • National sales tax is on the way to finance all the Democrat giveaways.

Keep the two-year terms

homasville voters go to the polls next week to decide some interesting races for mayor and City Council. But the referendum on term lengths for the mayor and council positions has been stirring up lots of interest this year. And that’s a good thing. ... Stirring up interest in local elections is always a good thing. Residents on both sides of the term lengths issue have voiced their positions in Your View letters to the editor. Both sides present good arguments. Those favoring four-year terms – staggered for the seven City Council members – argue that such a system provides continuity after city elections and gives council members the chance to focus more on city business and not worry about another election in just two years. Those favoring continuation of the current system in which all council members and the mayor are elected every two years argue that the shorter term lengths make city officials more accountable to the public and give the voters more power. We endorse the latter argument, whether the discussion is about Thomasville officials, members of High Point City Council or elected leaders of any other municipality. Electing city leaders every two years gives voters the chance to correct mistakes or reverse direction more quickly. Thomasville should stay with the term lengths it has.

Will we wake up or allow the dismantling of America?

ust one year ago, would you have believed that an unelected government official, not even a Cabinet member confirmed by the Senate but simply one of the many “czars” appointed by the president, could arbitrarily cut the pay of executives in private businesses by 50 percent or 90 percent? Did you think that another “czar” would be talking about restricting talk radio? That there would be plans afloat to subsidize newspapers – that is, to create a situation where some newspapers’ survival would depend on the government liking what they publish? Did you imagine that anyone would even be talking about having a panel of so-called “experts” deciding who could and could not get life-saving medical treatments? Scary as that is from a medical standpoint, it also is chilling from a freedom standpoint. If you have a mother who needs a heart operation or a child with some dire medical condition, how free would you feel to speak out against an administration that has power to make life and death decisions about your loved ones? Does any of this sound like America? How about a federal agency giving school children material to enlist them on the side of the president? Merely being assigned to sing his praises in class is apparently not enough. How much of America would be left if the federal government continued on this path? President Obama has already floated the idea of a national police force, something we have done without for more than two centuries. We already have local police forces all across the country and military forces for national defense, as well as the FBI for federal crimes and the National Guard for local emergencies. What would be the role of a national police force created by Obama, with all its leaders appointed by him? It would seem more like the brown shirts of dictators than like anything American. How far the president will go depends of course on how much resistance he meets. But the direction in which he is trying to go tells us more than all his rhetoric or media spin. Obama has not only said that he is out to “change the United States of America,” the people he has been associated with for years have expressed in words and deeds their hostility to the values, the principles and the

people of this country. Jeremiah Wright said it with words: “God damn America!” Bill Ayers said it with bombs that he planted. Community activist goons have said it with their contempt for the rights of other people. OPINION Among the people appointed as czars by President Obama have Thomas been people who have praised Sowell enemy dictators like Mao, who ■■■ have seen the public schools as places to promote sexual practices contrary to the values of most Americans, to a captive audience of children. Those who say that the Obama administration should have investigated those people more thoroughly before appointing them are missing the point completely. Why should we assume that Obama didn’t know what such people were like, when he has been associating with precisely these kinds of people for decades before he reached the White House? Nothing is more consistent with his lifelong patterns than putting such people in government – people who reject American values, resent Americans in general and successful Americans in particular, as well as resenting America’s influence in the world. Any miscalculation on his part would be in not thinking that others would discover what these stealth appointees were like. Had it not been for the Fox News Channel, these stealth appointees might have remained unexposed for what they are. Fox News is now high on the administration’s enemies list. Nothing so epitomizes President Obama’s own contempt for American values and traditions like trying to ram two bills through Congress in his first year too fast for either of them to be read, much less discussed. That he succeeded only the first time says that some people are starting to wake up. Whether enough people will wake up in time to keep America from being dismantled, piece by piece, is another question – and the biggest question for this generation.

Franken amendment addresses absurd company policy T

FOUR VIEWS OF THE RECOVERY

---

here were 30 of them. Thirty senators, 30 nays. The amendment passed with 68 votes, but it remains stunning to me that there was any opposition to its inclusion at all. I speak, of course, of Sen. Al Frankenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (D-Minn.) amendment to the 2010 Defense Appropriations Bill, which passed on Oct. 6. The amendment prevents the government from entering into contracts with defense companies that ban their employees from taking workplace sexual assault, battery and discrimination cases to court. Most Americans â&#x20AC;&#x201C; indeed, many of these companiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; employees â&#x20AC;&#x201C; donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize that such bans exist; they lurk in the fine print of employment contracts. Former Halliburton/KBR employee Jamie Leigh Jones discovered this particular clause in 2005, after being drugged, gang-raped, and brutally assaulted by her co-workers in Iraqâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Green Zone. Jones completed a rape kit to collect evidence of the crime, and gave it to KBR security officers. Her superiors informed her that she could not leave Iraq for medical treatment, and that if she tried, she would lose any hope of a job either in Iraq or her hometown of Houston. They then held her under armed guard in a shipping container for 24 hours without food or water. She managed to convince a sympathetic guard to lend her his cell phone, from which she called her father, who in turn contacted their congressman, Rep. Ted Poe (R-Texas). Poe informed the State Department of the situation, who dispatched agents from the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad to release Jones from the container. Even after being freed, there was nothing she could do. Her employers prevented her from taking any further action against her rapists. It reads like a horror story, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only the first chapter. After Jones brought her story to the news networks,

several more women from the company came forward with similar reports, including Dawn Leamon, who was also TEEN drugged and VIEW raped by one of her colleagues Meredith and a U.S. Jones soldier. When â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; she e-mailed an American lawyer for help in negotiating the nonexistent protocol for sexual assault, her computer was confiscated and she was told to keep her mouth shut. With that background, the amendment seems unimpeachable. Certainly, this is not the sort of company America wants to support. So how exactly does one read these facts, hear Franken speak about his amendment and yet vote against its inclusion? Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) was one of the nays, calling the amendment â&#x20AC;&#x153;a political attack directed at Halliburton.â&#x20AC;? Frankenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s response was clear and polite, but failed to address Sessionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s characterization of the amendment as a political attack. This is not a â&#x20AC;&#x153;politicalâ&#x20AC;? amendment. This vote was not an opportunity for partisanship. The only people attacked here were the rape victims. As Franken pointed out, the amendment did not even focus on Halliburton specifically. Have we become so used to the two-party divide in this country that we cannot fathom nonpartisan legislation? Or is it just that some of us are so hungry for oil that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll put up with sick policies in order to fund the national craving? Neither option is particularly appealing. I am disappointed in the sheer magnitude of the opposition on Oct. 6. Sexual assault is not a bargain. Rape is not a negotiation. And 68-30 is not a true victory.

a consensus product. Republican opposition stiffened, and party leaders announced they would attempt to strangle the bill before formal debate begins. Despite the obvious obstacles, senior Democrats cast Reidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s draft legislation as a turning point in the yearlong campaign to enact President Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top domestic priority.

Accident closes part of I-85 BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – Traffic between northern Randolph County and parts of High Point was disrupted Tuesday morning when a tractor-trailer hauling a type of acid overturned along Interstate 85. The accident that blocked all three lanes of northbound I-85 happened at 6:53 a.m., according to an alert from the N.C. Department of Transportation. The northbound lanes were closed from the Guilford-Randolph county line to N.C. 62 and weren’t expected to fully reopen until Tuesday evening, the DOT indicated.

Emergency crews respond to overturned truck on Interstate 85 near the Guilford-Randolph county line Tuesday. The one-vehicle accident happened as the driver of the tractor-trailer was exiting I-85 to connect onto Interstate 85 Business

Loop going toward High Point, said state Highway Patrol Trooper E.T. Badgett. The tractor-trailer was towing a tanker

filled with acrylic acid, the trooper said. Dispatchers with Guilford County Emergency Services told WXII-TV that between 50 and 100 gallons of acrylic acid spilled. The driver of the truck was taken to an area hospital, though his condition wasn’t known Tuesday morning. Badgett said he didn’t believe the driver’s injuries were serious. The driver, David Ray Corley of Houston, was charged with exceeding a safe speed, the trooper said. An investigation into the wreck and condition of the tractor-trailer continues, he said. The diversion of northbound interstate traffic

caused traffic bottlenecks Tuesday on sections of N.C. 62 and U.S. 311. Hazardous material teams cleaned up the acid and cordoned off an area around the accident scene as a precaution, Badgett said. “They wanted to make sure everything was secure before the tow truck company comes out and removes the vehicle from the roadway. In any hazmat spill, they want to make sure that all the ‘t’s’ are crossed and ‘i’s’ are dotted before moving anything. You don’t want to create a hazard to the public,” Badgett said.

The center, which also houses the Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation, is expected to attract to campus guests from the local and regional financial fields such as security investments, commercial real estate and investment banking. The new building is part of a $300 million campus upgrade and expansion. Campus leaders also have dedicated the $20 million Nido R. Qubein School of Communication and held a grand opening for the new $70 million University Center this year.

Half way home United Way campaign reaches 51 percent BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – On schedule with its goal, the United Way of Greater High Point announced that it has raised just beyond half the funds for its 2009 campaign. Leah Price, campaign chairwoman for the non-profit, revealed to partner-agency leaders and volunteers on Tuesday that $2,292,834, or 51 percent, had been raised towards its $4,500,000 goal. “In the face of adversity, we’re proud to announce we’ve raised this much,” she said about economic conditions. The organization had 61 major donors who contributed at least $10,000 last year. So far, thirty-nine of those donors have been recovered this year. Several of the organization’s 29 partner agencies said they had experienced an increase in need from their clients but a decrease in revenue. Linda McKnight with Family Ser-

vices of the Piedmont said the agency had seen an 85 percent increase in people seeking home foreclosure counseling. “Last year, it was all about budget counseling,” McKnight said. “This year, it’s all about helping people keep their homes.”

‘In the face of adversity, we’re proud to announce we’ve raised this much.’ Leah Price Campaign chairwoman Officials also reported that domestic violence shelters were seeing an increase in women and children seeking shelter, homeless shelters are at or nearing capacity, and food banks are experiencing an increasing demand for free meals. “These are just a few of the ripple effects of the current economy on local non-profits, including the United Way and our 2009 campaign,” said

Leah Perry Price talks about the annual campaign. Bobby Smith, president of the United Way. “We want the community to be aware that this campaign needs them if we are to succeed.” “Don’t give up. We’ve got to have one last push here,” Price added. “We know we’re going to have some losses (from last year) in the last half of our campaign, and we need everyone’s help.” The campaign kicked off Sept. 17 and will conclude in late January. phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

Hanesbrands closes hosiery plant; 240 lose jobs WINSTON-SALEM (AP) – Hanesbrands is shutting down operations at a North Carolina hosiery plant that employs 320 people. Multiple media outlets reported Tuesday that the Winston-Salem company is shutting down its Hanes Mill Road plant because of steady drops in sheer-hosiery demand. Hanesbrands said 240 manufacturing employees will be laid off and 80 distribution employees

Former Easley advisers testify no funnel scheme existed RALEIGH (AP) – Advisers who once helped former Gov. Mike Easley on fundraising told state election officials Tuesday there was no scheme to funnel money the campaign raised for the state Democratic Party back to Easley’s committee to avoid individual caps on giving. Onetime campaign treasurer Dave Horne and finance director Michael Hayden testified in the State Board of Elections probe into Easley’s campaign and the party, aiming the spotlight on campaign rules that allow state parties to give and receive big donations. State law allows a donor to give unlimited money to a party, but only as much as $4,000 to an individual candidate per election. The party can, in

turn, parcel out money to candidates as it chooses. However, it would be illegal for the party to turn over a donation to a candidate solely because the donor specified which candidate should receive the money. Horne told the board he knew of no plan whereby donations by Easley supporters to the party would be funneled back to Easley’s 2000 or 2004 gubernatorial bids, even though the board presented internal Easley campaign documents suggesting that was considered. Some key fundraisers for Easley in Wilmington testified Monday that Easley campaign officials had told them to make donations to the party – apparently to a “special account” to cover Easley campaign expenses – after they

had reached their $4,000 limit on giving to his election bid. Gary Allen, a Charlotte-area developer now living in Florida, testified Tuesday he couldn’t remember the details surrounding why he gave a $50,000 check to the state Democratic Party in advance of the 2004 election. Allen was a business associate of Easley fundraiser Lanny Wilson. “I got the impression that the Democratic Party would look out for its key Democrats and Easley would benefit from that in some way,” Allen said. Horne, who as treasurer filed campaign reports for Easley’s campaigns while attorney general and governor until 2006, said he wasn’t aware of a special party account dedicated to Easley.

Dell returns $1.5 million in grant payments RALEIGH (AP) – Computer giant Dell Inc. has returned more than $1.5 million to the state after the company announced that it was closing a large computer assembly plant in central North Carolina. The state Department of Commerce said the company has fully returned grant payments from 2006 and 2007. Officials in Winston-Salem

have said the company is also in the process of repaying $26 million in local incentives. Officials had promised more than $300 million in state and local incentives to lure Dell to the region. The company announced earlier this month that it would close the fouryear-old facility by the end of January. More than 900 workers will lose their jobs.

Woman’s predatory boss is eager to score again D

Dear Embarrassed: Your boss is acting like a sexual predator, and has from the beginning. If you haven’t been documenting his harassment, begin to do so immediately. And if anyone has seen him put the moves on you, so much the better. You should also discuss this with an attorney, and because you are “embarrassed,” make it a woman. Dear Abby: My brother “Eric’s” car was destroyed in a natural disaster four years ago. His insurance company paid for the loss, but he never replaced the car. For the next two years he borrowed one from an-

other family member until she finally put a stop to it. For the last two years Eric ADVICE has been using one Dear of mine. Abby It started ■■■ out as a temporary loan, but now he acts like I gave it to him. I still pay for its upkeep and insurance, because if I didn’t, Eric wouldn’t. I have offered to sell it to him for a reasonable price, but every time I mention it he comes up with an excuse. I feel used. How do I tell my brother I want my car back without stepping on anyone’s toes? We are a close family, and I’m afraid he’ll hold a grudge if I tell him how I feel. He and his wife have fulltime, well-paying jobs. My husband and I have two other vehicles, so I don’t need the other one desperately. I just hate seeing it used and abused like this. Should I feel guilty about wanting my wheels back? – Used Up in the South Dear Used Up: No, you shouldn’t – and your signature speaks volumes. Now pick up the phone and call your insurance agent. It is possible that because you are the legal owner of that vehicle, you could be responsible for any damage that your

brother might cause while driving it. You have been a wonderful and generous sister for having allowed him to use it for as long as he has. Because you’re having trouble finding the words to tell Eric that you want him to stand on his own two feet and provide his own transportation, ask the relative who loaned him the last one to let you borrow her script. Dear Abby: I am regularly invited out to eat by either of two friends, both of whom are very wealthy. I have noticed that neither one leaves a 15 percent tip. They usually leave 10 or 12 percent. I feel uncomfortable when they don’t leave a server what I consider to be the minimum appropriate tip. Would it be OK for me to add to the tip they are leaving? I don’t want to offend them. Please advise. – Red-Faced in Richmond, Calif. Dear Red-Faced: If you can find a way to do it discreetly, without embarrassing your host, I am sure your generosity would be appreciated by the server.

DEAR ABBY is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

ear Abby: I attended a businessrelated function with my boss and some co-workers. I had way too much to drink and ended up having sex with my boss. (He offered me a ride to my car and took advantage of me.) If I had been sober, it would never have happened. Since then, my boss continues to pursue me even though I have made it clear that it was a mistake and something I truly regret. I have no interest in this man. He is married, and it sickens me every time I think about it. I am too ashamed to discuss this with anyone, but my boss won’t leave me alone. Please tell me what I should do. – Embarrassed in Chicago

GARFIELD

Outlook for cystic fibrosis has greatly improved

ear Dr. Donohue: My daughter had her first baby (our first grandchild) three months ago. The baby wasn’t gaining weight, and he coughed at night. The pediatrician diagnosed him as having cystic fibrosis. We don’t understand where this came from. No one on our side of the family has it, and no one in our son-in-law’s family has it. We would appreciate any information on this illness, like life expectancy. Thank you. -- R.M.

B.C.

Cystic fibrosis is a genetic illness. Two genes, one from each parent – neither of whom has any signs of illness – are necessary for the disease to manifest itself. The basic problem is a glitch in the way chloride enters and leaves cells. The defect leads to the production of thick, sticky secretions in the lungs and also in parts of the digestive tract, such as the pancreas and gallbladder. Often a parent detects a salty taste when kissing their cystic fibrosis child and that triggers the diagnosis. Thick secretions in the breathing tubes (bronchi) are the reason for the baby’s cough. They’re also the reason for repeated respiratory infections. Medicines can dilate the clogged airways and can sometimes thin the sticky secretions. Antibiotics are needed at the first sign of a lung infection. Postural drainage and chest percussion drain

the lungs of retained m u c u s , and newer techniques make the process more effecHEALTH tive. The same Dr. Paul problems Donohue often affect ■■■ the pancreas. Its production of digestive enzymes doesn’t reach the intestine because the pancreatic ducts become obstructed. Supplements of those enzymes are available in the form of medicines. The life expectancy of a child with cystic fibrosis is difficult to predict. Some children are less severely affected than others. I can’t talk about this illness without telling about the young man I know who is in his late 30s and is actively pursuing his career as an accountant. He did have a lung transplant, something that many CF patients need. Now that the cystic fibrosis gene has been discovered, your grandson could expect novel gene treatments in his lifetime. Dear Dr. Donohue: In the past six months, my menstrual periods have become incredibly painful. The pain is in the lower part of my abdomen, and it lasts about one day. I have put off seeing a doctor because the pain is gone before I can get an appointment to see one. What could

this be? Is it serious? -– M.O. It could be a number of things. You don’t have to be in pain to see the doctor. Make an appointment and tell the doctor your symptoms. He or she can work from your description. One possible diagnosis is mittelschmerz (MITTul-schmertz). It’s not a disease; it’s pain that arises when an ovum is released from the ovary. It happens in the middle of the cycle, the day of ovulation. The pain lasts anywhere from a few minutes to a few days. What have you taken for the pain? You might find that Tylenol is all you need. You realize this is only a guess. You have to have a doctor’s confirmation from a hands-on exam.

Banana ‘dream’ pie

Banana Cream Pie from James Peterson’s “Baking” uses browned butter to give it a nutty, butterscotch flavor.

Adding browned butter makes this recipe for Banana Cream Pie something special BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

his banana cream pie from James Peterson’s “Baking” gets a nutty butterscotch flavor from the addition of browned butter. And while he doesn’t call for it, whipped cream sprinkled with nutmeg is always a good topping for this pie.

Banana Cream Pie Start to finish: 3 hours (1 hour active) Servings: 8 Equipment: 9- or 10-inch pie pan Dried beans or rice, for baking the pie shell For the pie: 1 basic prepared pie crust 3 cups milk 1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise, or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 eggs 2 egg yolks 3 ⁄4 cup sugar 1 ⁄3 cup cornstarch 1 ⁄4 cup plus 2 tablespoons brown butter (see recipe below) 3 to 4 ripe bananas Roll the dough into a round about

2 inches larger than the pie pan. Line the pie pan with the dough, folding the excess under the edge to make it a double thickness. Pinch the rim to make a fluted edge. Place a sheet of parchment paper over the pie shell, then fill it with enough dried beans or rice to come up the sides. Bake until the edges are golden brown, then remove the beans and parchment and bake until the center is golden brown, about 15 minutes total. Set the pie shell aside to cool. In a medium saucepan over low, bring the milk to a simmer with the vanilla bean or extract. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, sugar and cornstarch. Pour half of the simmering milk into the egg mixture, stir to combine thoroughly, then pour the mixture back into the saucepan with the rest of the milk. Increase heat to medium and whisk for about 5 minutes, or until it bubbles and thickens. Remove the vanilla bean, if using. Transfer the custard to a bowl, whisk in the brown butter, then cover with plastic wrap and allow to cool to room temperature. Spread a third of the custard over the bottom of the pie shell. Slice 2 of the bananas into between 1⁄8 and 1⁄4-inch-thick slices and arrange half of them over the custard in a single layer.

Spread half of the remaining custard over the banana slices, then arrange the remaining sliced bananas on top of the custard. Cover the bananas with the remaining custard. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving, but serve at room temperature. Shortly before serving, slice the remaining banana and arrange on top of the pie.

Brown Butter Start to finish: 10 minutes Makes 3⁄4 cup 1 cup butter In a small heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium, heat the butter. As it melts, you will notice a lot of foam. After about 3 minutes the foam will subside and the milk solids will coagulate into small but visible particles. Cook for another 2 minutes, by which point the particles of milk solids should be brown and be clinging to the sides and bottom of the pan. Immediately set the saucepan in a bowl of cold water. Using a fine mesh strainer lined with paper towels or a coffee filter, strain the butter into a storage container. Discard the solids in the filter. Use immediately or refrigerator (where it will keep for months).

Donations of items such as dog food, blankets, toys, brushes or a cash contribution will be collected as the contest entry fee. “In our business, we see dogs that come from loving homes with owners who want the best of care for their canine companions. We wanted to help those animals who are not so fortunate by giving back to the Humane Society,” Matthew Nagem says.

CROSSWORD

Wednesday, October 28, 2009 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Joaquin Phoenix, 35; Julia Roberts, 42; Bill Gates, 54; Bruce Jenner, 60 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: You can delve into areas personally and professionally that you haven’t been able to break into in the past. The time has come to share your ideas, interests and intentions. Emotional matters can be resolved and a trust issue that may have been bothering you can be cleared up, allowing you to move forward. Your numbers are 1, 8, 12, 24, 33, 40, 43 ARIES (March 21-April 19): There is plenty going on behind closed doors that you may want to look into. If anyone around you is being secretive, you should question why. Being left out of something that may influence your life personally or professionally is apparent. ★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You’ll be in the limelight if you aren’t careful. Choose your battles and refrain from talking about something you know little about. You will receive poor information and may be blamed for meddling if you pass along what you hear. ★★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Use your insight and charm to weather any storm brewing at work or with your peers. Be careful not to offer too much to someone looking for a handout. This person may also want to take credit for something you contributed. ★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t hold back when you have so much to gain by sharing and pushing your ideas. An emotional encounter will help you clarify where you stand and what your options are. Be forward-thinking and take action. ★★★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t take anything or anyone for granted. The time to lay your cards on the table honestly and openly is now. Alterations at home can bring financial gain. Look into changes that will save you emotionally and financially. ★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You’ll be attracted to someone who may be off-limits. Keep things simple and avoid letting anyone know how you feel. Mixing business with pleasure may be enticing but it’s certainly not practical. ★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your past performance may be brought out into the open now by someone looking for attention. Offer friendship, help and courtesy and you will avoid a situation that will make you nervous. ★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Use your wit to come out on top when dealing with personal situations that can alter the way things are done at home. You can’t let anyone persuade you to do things that don’t suit your needs. ★★★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Avoid any serious pursuits. You need to recharge and to put things in perspective. Have some fun with someone you enjoy spending time with and you will find it much easier to face the responsibilities that you have taken on. ★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Reviving treasured memories will help you realize what you have given up and what you should try to incorporate back into your life. Go after jobs that allow you to put your skills, talents and things you enjoy to the test. ★★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t let someone’s anger stop you from doing what you feel is best for you. There is money to be made or saved. Someone from your past will be able to shed some light on a situation that makes no sense to you. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Your emotions will be difficult to control but, if you follow your heart, you can sort out differences regarding money, contracts or other negotiations. Don’t let your own uncertainty ruin a good partnership. ★★★

BRIDGE Nobody knows the troubles Unlucky Louie has seen, but he keeps on telling us about them. “Look what Cy did to me,” Louie said, displaying today’s deal. Cy the Cynic led a heart against South’s game, and Louie, East, took the ace and shifted to the nine of diamonds. South played low, and Cy took the queen and ace and led a third diamond. “He expected me to ruff,” Louie said. “When I followed and South won, Cy shook his head and said that the whole thing was hopeless.

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S K 10 H A 6 5 3 2 D 9 8 7 C J 8 5. Your partner opens one diamond, you respond one heart and he bids one spade. The opponents pass. What do you say? ANSWER: Game chances still exist; your partner may have as many as 18 points. Since you have balanced pattern and a partial stopper in clubs, you could bid 1NT, showing six to nine points. A sound option is to return to two diamonds. To rebid two hearts would suggest a longer suit. South 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.

Gender roles change in politically correct society I was stunned at the editor’s criticism and immediately sent her an apology for any misunderstanding and said that my intention was solely humorous, and in no way flirtatious. It A DAD’S was, yet again, a reminder to me of the dangers of POINT e-mail. OF VIEW She replied, “Apology accepted.” Now, the fact Bruce that she had changed our Sallan agreement about how ■■■ my column was to be presented was minimally addressed as I did not receive any acknowledgment or apology for her breaking our ground rules. Instead, an off-hand remark I made left a bad taste for both of us, and I still didn’t get satisfactory resolution to my original question. I thought proper business etiquette required communication before a change is made to an existing agreement. To this editor’s credit, she said she showed my e-mail to several male colleagues who all agreed it was in poor taste. While I didn’t ask, I wondered how old they were as there’s no doubt that younger men are growing up in a work and social environment whose rules are quite different from when I grew up. I think we had much more fun and, given that most of my career was in showbiz, there was certainly plenty of healthy and innocent flirting that regularly went on, and many times, it resulted in good business dealings. To be clear, I am not talking about any casting couch sort of behavior as I never experienced it in the form of an actress offering me “special privileges” nor did I ever engage in asking for it. I

was raised to treat women with respect well before sexual harassment handbooks and seminars became important business tools for employers. I actually experienced some sexual harassment early in my career. A top female studio executive invited me to her home to “discuss business.” I was fighting her off the entire evening. My male bosses at the time thought it was hilarious and that I should have given in for the benefit of the company. Needless to say, I wasn’t amused so I obviously understand the difference between innocent flirtation and harassment. We often define sexual harassment as a man harassing a woman, but the reverse can be harassing as well. I am trying to raise Will and David to be men who respect and treat women well. I expect them to be sensitive without being wimps, and – I hope – still possess a twinkle in their eyes, and enjoy engaging the opposite sex. Flirting can be a kick, but of course, it has to be in the right situations. I am stuck in my ways and obviously somewhat dense and/or stubborn, as this incident with the editor illustrated. Hereafter, I’m going to be extra careful with all of my future interaction with women. Frankly, it’s the clichéd point of being better safe than sorry, though I know that some of the interplay I’ve always enjoyed will be diminished. Will and David have been taught other behaviors that I believe in, although these behaviors may be somewhat old-fashioned. They know to open and close car doors for their girl friends or any woman or older adult. My teen knows we expect him to pay for any date that he may go on, though presently he’s doing the contemporary group date thing, so he’s off the hook.

When we went to the recent Outside Lands music festival, he knew – even though I did remind him – to look after his two female friends and, because of his height and gender, to take care of them in the crush of the crowds. They appreciated it, and I was proud of his actions. A friend of mine suggested that my generation might actually have the opportunity to learn from our kids about these kinds of behaviors. Growing up in a politically correct culture all their lives, they’ve been socialized and taught certain behavior and, like their comfort with technology, it may be second nature to them. Is it better? I don’t know. Still, I think it’s a very confusing time for young boys and men. Some of the so-called progress that has allowed women to enter otherwise limited areas for them professionally, are clearly welcome. But I question all these rules for gender interaction. Doesn’t it, to some degree, only arrest the development of women as opposed to teaching our young women to know proper boundaries and stand up for themselves? I’d rather any daughter that I had should know when to slap a guy, kick him where it counts and otherwise not run to a boss or the government. And, conversely, she should know when it is time to seek intervention by a superior. What do you think?

am more and more troubled by how male and female roles in our society have evolved. Clearly, I may just not fully understand and accept these changes, but I want to understand for the sake of my boys. I’m trying to teach them to be men, how to treat women, and to prepare my sons for the current social environment and workplace that we live in. And, frankly, I need to learn and adjust for myself, as this column will show. I was raised in the ’50s and ’60s, when men and women had casual conversational fun with each other, both in the workplace and out of it. It was fun and not harassment, to be clear, and included healthy banter and even occasional flirting. But, today this is forbidden and larger companies have seminars on proper work behavior that, I believe, limits camaraderie and rapport between colleagues. As communication often is via e-mail, the chances of misunderstandings are only enhanced. Recently, I sent an e-mail to a female editor of a Web site that carries my column, asking about a change I’d noticed in how my column was presented. It happens to be a mom’s Web site and I’m the only male blogger. I asked the question about the change and then said, “I am your only man, after all.” To me, it is true and was completely innocuous. The reply I got from the editor was a stern missive affirming her status at the Web site and asking that I stop this unprofessional behavior and flirting. It reminded me of when Sen. Barbara Boxer reprimanded a general in the army, in Congress, for calling her “ma’am,” instead of “senator.” Can you imagine a male senator doing the same when called “sir”?

WHO’S NEWS

Wake offense not sunk yet BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

WINSTON-SALEM – When the season began, offense was a phase of the game that wasn’t expected to be a big issue for Wake Forest given the returning experience led by standout quarterback Riley Skinner. Now there are some doubts in the wake of the Demon Deacons having scored just 13 points in losses to Clemson and Navy since rolling for 516 total yards and 42 points against Maryland. Wake head coach Jim Grobe admits that the Deacons played poorly in a 38-3 loss at Clemson, but liked the team’s effort outside of three holding penalties that killed secondhalf drives in a 13-10 setback at Navy. Grobe discounted the Navy game because of severe weather conditions that included a driving rain and a stiff wind – a combination that caused Skinner to shy away from throwing any deep passes. Wake struggled to get 178 yards of offense at Clemson, but managed 308 against Navy. “The bottom line is scoring points,” Grobe

MIAMI LINEBACKER OUT

–

CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) — Miami linebacker Sean Spence has an injured left knee and will not play Saturday when the 18th-ranked Hurricanes visit Wake Forest. Spence aggravated the injury at least twice in Miami’s loss to Clemson last weekend. The extent of his injury has not been announced. Spence is fourth on Miami in tackles, with 35 through seven games. He has 51⁄2 tackles for losses, along with two sacks.

said. “If you aren’t scoring points, you don’t think your offense is doing well. I give Clemson’s defense credit for our struggles there, and then I don’t know what to think about the Navy game because the weather was so rough.” The Deacons have dropped to sixth in the Atlantic Coast Conference in total offense at 280.2 yards per game heading into Saturday’s 3:30 p.m. contest with No. 18 Miami. “In practice, the offense is clicking,” tight

end Ted Randolph said. “There’s no one real thing you can put it on. Things happen and you just have to roll with it. “We need to execute. We can’t have as many three-and-outs, and as many penalties that stop ourselves. You go through some down times each season. It’s just a slump and I believe we will work out of it.” Grobe said no demotions of starting offensive linemen are planned after some reserves received added playing time in the second half against Navy. “The guys (who are starting) are the guys,” Grobe said. Grobe also said that linebacker Hunter Hayes, defensive end Kyle Wilbur and tailback Kevin Harris practiced Monday night and might play this Saturday after missing games with injuries. Harris suffered a groin injury against Elon. Wilbur broke his leg in the second game of the season. Haynes sprained a knee against Maryland. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Devils, Cavs have plenty in common DURHAM (AP) — Lose to a Football Championship Subdivision team, contend for a division title? That’s the lightly traveled path two of the Atlantic Coast Conference’s biggest surprises have taken to remain competitive in the tough Coastal Division. Duke has as many ACC victories as its three instate neighbors combined. Virginia struggled outside the conference before remaining perfect in it longer than anybody else. The Blue Devils and Cavaliers have plenty in common: The league’s only teams left out of bowls last season opened with embarrassing losses to Colonial Athletic Association teams, but somehow have remained factors in the muddy Coastal heading into this weekend’s meeting in Charlottesville, Va. “You’ve got two good football teams that obviously have the opportunity to get a step further

in the conference,” Duke quarterback Thaddeus Lewis said Tuesday. “And I think you have two hungry football teams. ... Something like ’Clash of the Titans.’ It’ll all boil down to who wants it the most.” In a division in which four teams have been ranked, nobody expected much out of Duke and Virginia. But the Blue Devils and Cavaliers join No. 11 Georgia Tech and No. 14 Virginia Tech as the only teams with one ACC loss. No. 18 Miami is 2-2 in league play while preseason No. 21 North Carolina is winless. And then there’s this: If the Blue Devils (4-3, 21) or Cavaliers (3-4, 2-1) were in the more pedestrian Atlantic Division — where no team has fewer than two ACC losses — they would have first place all to themselves. Duke coach David Cutcliffe doesn’t have time to watch the standings. “That’s y’all’s job,” he said.

Hampton captain dies in shooting HAMPTON, Va. (AP) — A Hampton University basketball player has died from what police call an accidental shooting outside a nightclub. Theo Smalling of Tampa, Fla., died Monday night, according to a university statement Tuesday. Police said the 22-yearold team captain was

shot in the abdomen early Saturday in the parking lot of a nightclub after another man mishandled a firearm. Police have charged 21year-old Dominique Devon Smith with reckless handling of a firearm. They could not say if he has an attorney. Police are awaiting autopsy results.

A-Rod, Howard add luster to Series NEW YORK (AP) — Ryan Howard thought about the World Series and his eyes widened. “Between Yankee Stadium and Philly, it’s going to be, I would have to say, probably one of the rowdiest World Series — just between the fans,” he said. Sure will be if Howard and Alex Rodriguez start teeing off in their high-profile slugger showdown. For the first time in 20 years, the World Series will feature a pair of former major league home run champions when it opens, weather permitting, on Wednesday night. No player in the major leagues has been scrutinized more than A-Rod, a postseason star following a scandalous spring training that include a steroid admission and hip surgery.

TONIGHT’S GAME

----

WHAT: World Series Game 1, Philadelphia Phillies at New York Yankees. WHEN: First pitch, 7:57 p.m. TELEVISION: WGHP (Fox).

And Howard has carried the defending champion Philadelphia Phillies every bit as much as Rodriguez has propelled the Yankees to their first Series appearance since 2003 — and the first of his career. “Ryan, along with his power, he’s also become a great hitter,” Rodriguez said Tuesday. “And that’s bad news for the National League and bad news for us.”

The 34-year-old Rodriguez already has succeeded Reggie Jackson as the favorite Yankees target of wannabe amateur psychologists, who try to analyze past playoff flops and his relationships with Madonna last year and Kate Hudson this season. Now he wants to follow Mr. October as a champion. A three-time AL MVP, he entered the first round against Minnesota hitting .136 (8 for 59) in the postseason dating to 2004 and was hitless in 18 consecutive playoff at-bats with runners in scoring position. What a change. He led the Yankees with a .438 average, five homers and 12 RBIs in the victories over the Twins and Los Angeles Angels, hitting tying home runs in the seventh, ninth and 11th innings.

HIT AND RUN

---

cringed when I heard the TV commentator utter the silliest words in sports. “If the Heisman Trophy vote were held today, I’d go with...” Person X said confidently late Saturday night after another eventful day of college football action. Please, spare me the rest. Two of the “favorites” entering Saturday’s play – Florida quarterback Tim Tebow and Alabama running back Mark Ingram – struggled a bit. A third “favorite” – Texas quarterback Colt McCoy – seemed to help his cause with a big game. As a matter of principle, I refuse to include Notre Dame quarterback Jimmy Clausen in the Heisman discussion.

Clausen’s a talented player, but the Irish have a 5-2 record. When your best quality win is a four-point squeaker over Boston College, I reserve the right to hold off on Heisman hype for any of your guys. As for the other contenders, Tebow clearly took a step back in the Gators’ 29-19 win at Mississippi State. He rushed 22 times for 88 yards and a touchdown, but completed just 12-of-22 passes for 127 yards. Two of his passes were intercepted and returned for touchdowns, including a 100-yarder. Ingram, meanwhile, lost his first fumble of the season and managed just 99 yards on 18 carries in a sluggish 12-10 Tide victory over Tennessee. Alabama needed a blocked field goal on

the final play of the game to escape. As for McCoy, he connected on 26-of-31 passes for 269 yards and three touchdowns as the Longhorns crushed Missouri 41-7. So that obviously makes McCoy the frontrunner, at least for this week. Since Florida, Alabama and Texas all sport unbeaten records and the Heisman often goes to the best skill-position player on the best team when there is no eye-popping, off-the-charts performer on the national scene, I’d say it’s far too soon to settle on a favorite. It will all sort itself out in the next few weeks.

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

Southwest Guilford graduate Alex Cooke of High Point was the female recipient of Greensboro College’s highest athletic honor, the Fred Joseph Award, for 2008-09 during halftime of last Saturday’s homecoming football game with Christopher Newport. Cooke, the daughter of Brad and Karen Cooke, is the most decorated swimmer in Greensboro College history. As a senior, she led the Pride to a school record nine dual-meet wins for the season. She became the first GC swimmer to be invited to the NCAA Division III championships. Cooke set school records in all three events she entered. The senior clocked a record 57.39 in the prelims of the 100 back—where she was 13th best. That swim earned Cooke a spot in the consolation race and eventual All America status. At the NCAAs, she also competed and set records in the 100 freestyle and the 50 Free. In the 100 free, she entered as the 53rd top competitor and finished 26th best. Cooke leaves The Pride with nine individual records and is a member of all five GC-best relay teams. A business major, she is completing her final semester at GC. Current men’s soccer team captain Andrew Clark, a native of Ottawa, was the male recipient.

Gibbs team changes crew chief BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

Kyle Buschâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s struggles that included not making the NASCAR Chase for the Championship is costing Steve Addington his job as crew chief despite guiding Busch to eight victories last season and four this year. Joe Gibbs Racing said Tuesday that Nationwide Series crew chief Dave Rogers will replace Addington starting with next weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race at Texas Motor Speedway. Addington, who has served as crew chief for the No. 18 team the previous five seasons, will be reassigned to a position following this weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

race at Talladega Superspeedway. Addington was winless with the team before Busch became its driver last season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We evaluate all of our teams on an ongoing basis and believe this is a change that will make the 18 team stronger as we prepare for next season,â&#x20AC;? JGR president J.D. Gibbs said in a statement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We think highly of Steve and the job he has done and we look forward to him remaining a part of the JGR family.â&#x20AC;? Rogers is currently in his fourth season as crew chief of JGRâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s No. 20 entry in the Nationwide Series. He led that team to JGRâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first Nationwide ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s championship in 2008.

The team has five wins this season and a total of 20 victories under Rogersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; direction. Rogers first joined JGR in 1998 and spent six seasons from 1999 to 2004 working on Tony Stewartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cars. When the No. 11 team was introduced in 2005 as JGRâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third NASCAR Cup Series team, Rogers was tabbed as crew chief. Mike Ford replaced Rogers in the middle of that season. Rogers spent the remainder of that year in the engineering department and then moved to the Nationwide team in 2006. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Rockies (1993-96) and Los Angeles Dodgers (2002). â&#x20AC;&#x153;One thing that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to bring in is a freshness, being with a champion and bringing that freshness in,â&#x20AC;? Mills said.

Impressive showdowns loom BY STEVE HANF ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

PREP FOOTBALL NOTEBOOK: While two weeks remain in the regular season, three huge matchups this week will go a long way toward deciding conference championships. T. Wingate Andrews and Carver get things started early, as Simeon Stadium is booked Thursday with the battle for first in the PAC 6 2A and Friday with Southwest Guilford visiting High Point Central. For the true football fan with no rooting interests, at least Andrews and Carver own the spotlight Thursday. But which game does one attend Friday: The city rivalry? Or an epic clash of long-time foes Salisbury and Thomasville for the Central Carolina 2A crown? Or Glenn visiting Ragsdale for the second of three matchups between the top three squads in the Piedmont Triad 4A?

HELLO, OLD FRIEND The oldest rivalry of the bunch certainly offers intrigue. The first recorded meeting between Thomasville and the old Salisbury High – Boyden – came in 1928: a thrilling 0-0 decision for coach Ruppert Paige. The teams met three more times in the 1930s – all wins for Salisbury. Both teams later emerged as powers in the old Western N.C. High School Activities Association of the 1960s and ’70s. George Cushwa’s Thomasville teams started playing Salisbury in 1967, a young coach by the name of Allen Brown continued the rivalry starting in 1973 – and the Bulldogs and Hornets played each other every single year until 1989. That was the last regular-season meeting until now, however. The teams haven’t played since 1995’s third-round clash in the 2A playoffs. Thomasville bounced a 12-0 Hornet squad by a 14-6 decision en route to a 16-0 title-winning season. “Salisbury was in our league when I got to be head coach way back in 1973 and we lost to them the first two years,” said Brown, now in his second stint leading the Bulldogs. “They’ve always been a difficult matchup for us. It’s always been a tit-fortat series.” He’s right about that. Thomasville leads 14-13-1, although the Bulldogs own eight straight wins. Whoever wins Friday appears likely to take the Central Carolina 2A Conference crown. Salisbury (6-3, 3-0 CCC) closes with East Davidson while Thomasville (5-4, 3-0) visits Lexington, leading Brown to comment that “it is within the realm of possibility we could lose to Lexington, but nobody will beat Salisbury unless we do.” South Rowan, West Rowan and Davie County managed to stop the Hornets during a difficult nonconference schedule. Salisbury bounced back in the CCC with three straight romps – including a stunning 57-6 dismantling of Lexington last week – much the way Thomas-

ville has rebounded from four nonconference defeats – to Davie and three of the state’s best teams in Mount Airy, Albemarle and Kannapolis Brown. “When you lose four games in a row, it doesn’t matter who you lose to, it challenges the character of your team,” Brown said of his Bulldogs. “They were difficult losses and it challenged our kids a lot. They had to reach down inside themselves and keep believing they could overcome some of the adversity they experienced. I’m proud of them for enduring that.”

HELLO, OLD FRIEND II Glenn and Ragsdale don’t have the history of Salisbury and Thomasville, but the coaches do go back a ways. Tigers head coach Tommy Norwood spent three years as an assistant to Glenn head coach Dickie Cline when Cline led Ragsdale a quarter-century ago. They parted ways when Norwood coached at Southeast Guilford for 12 seasons before arriving at Ragsdale a dozen years ago to lead the Tigers. “We played him a couple of times when I was at Southeast, and we scrimmaged each other a few times when he was at Ledford and maybe one time at Glenn,” Norwood recalled of a few chance encounters over the years. This week’s meeting continues an impressive end-of-theyear round-robin for the PTC crown. Glenn beat High Point Central in a matchup of teams with 3-0 conference records last week. This week pits Bobcat and Tiger teams at 4-0. The regular season closes with Ragsdale visiting High Point Central needing to win to remain in first place no matter what happens this week. “Our kids know it’s important, but we treat everything the same, whether it’s a team that’s undefeated or hasn’t won a game,” Norwood said of this week’s clash. And what about Central? “We’re worried about Glenn,” said Norwood, whose staff and

players got to see last Friday’s game thanks to a timely bye week. “We’ll worry about Central next Saturday.”

IN WITH THE OLD Andrews did little wrong in last week’s 54-3 romp over Randleman, but coach Rodney McKoy was especially pleased with what his team did right in finding the end zone. Only two touchdowns came on plays longer than 6 yards. The other six came on shortyardage runs involving a crowded four-man backfield. Quarterback Marquez Swinton kept on one possession, but the three tailbacks/fullbacks were options on the other scores. “It was good to run the ball well,” McKoy said. “We worked on our 20-and-in offense and our short-yardage offense (in practice). On third-and-inches, second-and-short, traditionally, spread teams have problems converting. We went back to some stuff we did last year and it made a difference.” If it works again Thursday against Carver, the Red Raiders will own a league championship.

IMPRESSIVE PERFORMANCES Ledford’s Jonathan Shelton and East Davidson’s Blake Dodd each did some climbing in the stats column this week. Shelton, a senior, scored all three touchdowns in Ledford’s win at Asheboro: once at running back, once on a wide receiver screen and again from the popular “Wildcat” formation – although Ledford coach Chuck Henderson pointed out that Ledford calls the direct snap to the running back the Bobcat rather than Wildcat. Dodd, meanwhile, sliced through the Central Davidson defense for 103 yards and a touchdown on three catches. The junior has done a great job in the passing patterns for coach Bryan Lingerfelt, but has just 16 receptions for the year thanks to a four-game absence due to a broken wrist.

IBM boosts Dow, but other indexes fall

PERCENT RETURN YTD 1YR 3YR* 5YR*

NEW YORK (AP) – Stocks mostly fell Tuesday as mixed reports on home prices and consumer confidence gave investors little incentive to step into the market. Rising energy stocks and a decision by IBM Corp. to double its stockrepurchase plan propped up the Dow Jones industrials, but the Nasdaq composite index slid after Chinese Internet search company Baidu Inc. warned its revenue could take a hit as it switches its advertising system. Two stocks fell for every one that rose at the New York Stock Exchange. Bond prices rose after strong demand at a government debt auction, signaling that investors are still seeking safety. Stocks rose at the start of trading following a report that home prices in 20 major metropolitan markets increased for the

third straight month in August. The Standard & Poor’s/Case-Shiller home price index gained 1 percent in August from July. However, the gains in home prices couldn’t offset worries that consumers might not be in a mood to spend this holiday season. The Conference Board said its Consumer Confidence Index fell unexpectedly to 47.7 in October, its second-lowest reading since May. Analysts predicted a figure of 53.1. “When I look at the consumer, I think that is the next big test,” said Dave Hinnenkamp, chief executive KDV Wealth Management in Minneapolis. “We’ve passed a big test on the earnings front.” The Dow rose 14.21, or 0.1 percent, to 9,882.17. The broader Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell 3.54, or 0.3 percent, to 1,063.41, while Nasdaq fell 25.76, or 1.2 percent, to 2,116.09.

Tuesday, showed a widespread turnaround with prices rising month-overmonth in 15 metro areas since June. San Francisco, Minneapolis and San Diego led the way. Prices are at levels not seen since August 2003 and have fallen almost 30 percent from the peak in May 2006. Many economists also expect a double dip in prices. Despite signs the economy is recovering, home prices could decline again as unemployment and foreclosures rise and

a tax credit for first-time homebuyers expires next month. Zach Pandl, an economist at Nomura Global Economics, expects prices to fall to the lows reached earlier this year before recovering in early 2010. “We need to see flat to rising prices in the winter months,” Pandl said. “That would be a very encouraging sign that prices have bottomed out.” Low prices and mortgage rates combined with the tax credit have

spurred sales. Home resales climbed more than 9 percent in September, the largest amount in more than 26 years, the National Association of Realtors said last week. Sales figures for newly built homes are due out today. Jacqueline Buchanan picked up a two-bedroom bargain foreclosure five miles from her work in Miami. She plans to qualify for the federal tax credit and spend the money on her new home.

Job picture fuels slide in confidence ond-lowest reading since May. Forecasters predicted a higher reading of 53.1. A reading above 90 means the economy is on solid footing. Above 100 signals strong growth. The index has seesawed since reaching a historic low of 25.3 in February and climbed to 53.4 in September. Economists watch consumer confidence because

spending on goods and services by Americans accounts for about 70 percent of U.S. economic activity by federal measures. While the reading doesn’t always predict short-term spending, it’s a helpful barometer of spending levels over time, especially for expensive, big-ticket items. Recent economic data, from housing to manufacturing, has offered mixed signals but some evidence

But on Tuesday, the figures showed that shoppers have a grim outlook for the future, The Conference Board said, expecting a worsening business climate, fewer jobs and lower salaries. That’s particularly bad news for retailers who depend on the holiday shopping season for a hefty share of their annual revenue.

BRIEFS

Honeywell 3Q profit falls but tops forecast Honeywell International Inc. said Friday its third-quarter profit fell 15 percent as sales dropped in all its divisions with key markets in aviation and industrial products continuing to struggle. More than half of the Morris Township, N.J., company’s sales are overseas. As a result of its exposure, Honeywell has been hit hard by some of the economy’s weakest sectors such as the aerospace, automotive and construction markets, which have been in a prolonged slump.

Whirlpool profit slips; cost-cuts raise outlook MILWAUKEE – Whirlpool Corp., the world’s biggest home appliance maker, raised its profit outlook for the year on Friday, saying cost-cutting that has tempered steep sales declines will pay off in the final quarter of the year. Whirlpool forecasts that economic uncertainty will continue to hold down demand for its big-ticket items in the U.S. and Europe, though Asia and Latin America are seeing improvements as those economies rebound.

S.C. AG reaches $45 million deal with Lilly COLUMBIA, S.C. – South Carolina’s attorney general said Friday the state has reached a $45 million settlement with drug maker Eli Lilly & Co. over the company’s marketing of an anti-psychotic drug, an agreement the drug maker said was its largest with a single state over Zyprexa. “This is a victory for South Carolina’s taxpayers who were forced to bear the financial costs of Eli Lilly’s unlawful conduct,” Henry McMaster said.

AIG shares slide amid troubles CHARLOTTE (AP) – Shares of American International Group Inc. fell Tuesday as the company continues to face challenges in repaying government funds. The insurer’s recent loss of executives to the company of former CEO Maurice “Hank” Greenberg may further complicate its efforts to pay back more than $180 billion, a report published in The New York Times said Tuesday. Shares of AIG fell $1.65, or 4.6 percent, to $34.60 in afternoon trading. Pay restrictions imposed last week by the Treasury Department could hasten defections

to Greenberg’s company, C.V. Starr & Co., a potential competitor operating under no such restrictions, the Times report said. Treasury “pay czar” Kenneth Feinberg announced he had ordered seven companies that have received billions of dollars in taxpayer money, to slash the base salaries of their top executives by an average of 90 percent and cut total compensation – cash, stock and perks – in half. That applies to the five top executives and the next 20 highest-paid employees at AIG, which is based in New York.

Icahn offers to buy CIT Group debt NEW YORK (AP) – Billionaire investor Carl Icahn offered Tuesday to buy certain classes of debt from CIT Group Inc. bondholders as he tries to thwart a restructuring plan by the commercial lender. Icahn said in a letter he will pay those bondholders 60 cents on the dollar for their bonds if they agree to reject CIT’s debt restructuring plan. New York-based CIT, one of the nation’s largest lenders to small and

mid-sized businesses, is trying to get bondholders to swap existing debt for new debt that matures later and stock. CIT is trying to reduce its nearterm debt maturities by $5.7 billion. On Monday, CIT sweetened its exchange offer for a second time in two weeks in an apparent sign debtholders are balking at the program. Icahn said CIT’s restructuring plan is unfair to small bondholders.

Oil passes $79 amid volatile dollar

The IAC building is shown in New York on Monday.

IAC nets profit, but ads slip SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – IAC/InterActiveCorp, which runs Match.com, Ask.com and other Web sites, said Tuesday that asset sales helped it profit in the third quarter while advertising revenue continued to slump. The results for IAC, which is led by media mogul Barry Diller, come after other Internet companies indicated in their thirdquarter reports that the online advertising market remains uneven. Google Inc. reported a 7 percent

DILBERT

increase in revenue in the period, but Yahoo Inc. said its revenue dropped 12 percent. The period was tough for IAC, whose revenue fell 9 percent. Counting one-time events such as a large gain on a stock sale and the sale of Match’s European operations, IAC earned $21.7 million, or 16 cents per share, on $337 million in revenue. In the same period a year ago it lost $14.8 million, or 11 cents per share.

Revenue in IAC’s media and advertising unit, which includes the Ask search engine and online city guide Citysearch, dropped 11 percent to $172.3 million. For the third straight quarter, the company said the difficult ad climate – which is hurting media on and off the Web – lowered revenue at Citysearch. IAC also said for the second quarter in a row that Citysearch was hindered by the relaunch of its site and the use of a new ad-delivery system.

NEW YORK – Oil prices rebounded Tuesday after three straight days of declines, offsetting an unexpected slump in consumer confidence while tracking changes in the dollar’s volatile exchange rate. At midday, Benchmark crude for December delivery rose 91 cents to $79.59 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract fell $1.82 to settle at $78.68 on Monday. Crude jumped to a 12month high at $82 a barrel last week as the dollar weakened amid concerns that massive global stimulus spending will eventually spark inflation.

AK Steel ends string of losses PITTSBURGH – AK Steel Holding Corp. posted a sharply lower third-quarter profit Tuesday compared with a year ago, but nonetheless broke a string of three consecutive quarterly losses and said it expects shipments to pick up in the final months of the year. AK Steel is a supplier to the U.S. auto industry. Automakers ramped up production in recent months in response to the government’s wildly successful Cash for Clunkers program. Like other steel companies, AK Steel has faced sharply lower demand since late last year, when the economic downturn undermined important steel buyers in auto and construction industries.
