Lisa McCracken looks over selection of Christmas decorations at Target on Mall Loop Road in High Point. Thanksgiving that officially kicks off the holiday shopping season – earlier than usual through a promotion called Better than Black Friday. “We’re offering deals now so people don’t have to rush out on Black Friday to get what they want,” he said. But the store’s layaway feature has given it a major boost in sales this year,
he said. Hayes said he had seen popular electronic game consoles such as the Nintendo Wii financed through the service. “Our layaway sales are way up over last year,” he said. “It’s actually been twice as busy as last year.” Even Belk in Oak Hollow Mall is counting on some sales from electronics such as GPS navigation systems this season,
and the store is opening an hour earlier at 4 a.m. on Black Friday this year. “We’re expecting the holiday shopping season to be similar to last year, but we’re hoping sales to be higher,” said Jason Scott, general manager of the store. “We’re going to start our Black Friday pricing early – the Monday before Thanksgiving – on select items,” he said.
And while most major retailers are doing everything they can to attract customers before Black Friday, they’re still counting on major sales from that day. “It’s been the same way for years, and hopefully it will be the same this year,” Harmon said.

Black Friday pricing starts early, is easier on the wallet
HIGH POINT – Local retailers won’t be relying on Santa Claus this year to bring them cheerful holiday sales. Instead, they’ll be counting on a group of musthave electronic gadgets and earlier-than-ever Black Friday specials to get them through the most important retail months of the year, which they say have started out steadily. “Sales are about comparable to last year at this time,” said Joe Harmon, sales floor executive for Target at 1050 Mall Loop Road. “That isn’t great news, but it isn’t bad news either.” Harmon’s outlook is consistent with national retail sales, which rose 1.4 percent in October, mostly due to a rebound in the automobile industry. Excluding automobile sales, retail sales rose 0.2 percent after economists predicted a 0.4 percent increase. Robert Hayes, store manager for Kmart at 2850 S. Main St., said his store also is experiencing sales levels similar to the same time last year, which is good news in today’s economic conditions. He said the store plans to capitalize on the annual Black Friday – the day after

More swine flu vaccine clinics slated BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
CLINICS
GUILFORD COUNTY – Finding a swine flu vaccine may be getting easier. The Department of Public Health announced it will hold two vaccine clinics Dec. 5 and some groceries and pharmacies have opened clinics, according to locator Web sites. The H1N1 flu vaccine will be available for these five priority groups: pregnant women; children ages 6 months to 24 years of age; health care workers and emergency medical services personnel; adults ages 25-64 with underlying health conditions; and caregivers of children age 6 months and younger. Seasonal flu vaccine will be available for children ages 4-18 at the clinics. The vaccines will be given on a

first-come, first-served basis. No appointment is needed. There will be no out-of-pocket expense, but people should bring their insurance or Medicaid cards. The agency and commercial providers have offered more clinics as more vaccine doses have arrived.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has estimated North Carolina needs 5 million doses based on its population. Health workers administered 1,831 doses of the swine flu vaccine Nov. 7 during a clinic at Guilford Technical Community College in Jamestown and Maxim Health care held a clinic recently in High Point. Health officials have urged severely sick people to stay away from the clinics, but those with a mild cold or other illness should be able to get the vaccines. No one allergic to eggs or to any other substance in the vaccines should take one. Also, anyone who has had Guillain-Barre Syndrome or a life-threatening reaction following a flu vaccination should not get a shot. dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626
Trial set to begin today in 2006 killing of store clerk MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
GREENSBORO – Jury selection is set to begin today in the first-degree murder trial of a Greensboro man accused of fatally shooting a store clerk in November 2006. Raytheon Williams, 20, of 607 Holt Ave., is one of four people accused in
the Nov. 25, 2006, robbery and killing of 50-year-old Satwinder Singh. Singh was killed while working at the Aman Mini Mart at 2303 N. Church St. According to police and prosecutors, three masked men armed with a shotgun and two handguns went into the store at around 8:50 p.m. that night.
There, they robbed Singh and his then 14year-old son at gunpoint. Before fleeing, someone shot Singh, who later died at Moses Cone Hospital. A prosecutor has said he believes that person was Williams, who was arrested in January 2007. In all, the robbers made
off with $500 in c as h. In August, Arthur Lecose Burton III, 22, pleaded guilty to seconddegree murder for his role in the heist and was sentenced to between 21 to 23 years in prison. Murder and robbery charges are still pending against a third man, 19year-old Shawn Michael McIlvan.
the majority opposed the Market Overlay District proposal in its current form. Most of those who spoke in opposition have downtown property holdings that would be outside the district. Having a property outside the district could drive down the value of buildings, said downtown landowner Tony Sink. “I sort of feel like we are getting the short end of the stick when we are surrounded by showrooms but not included. The market has been here 100 years and done well without this overlay business,” said Sink, reflecting the sentiment of many speakers. Market Overlay District advocate Aaron Clinard said the intent of the proposal isn’t to hurt any showroom owner but spur growth in the city during the 48 weeks of the year when market isn’t in session. The proposal has been studied for years by committees made up of residents and planning professionals before being presented to the High

Superintendent updates council on school system ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT
HIGH POINT – A site seldom seen at a High Point City Council meeting since the decision to merge the three Guilford County school systems 16 years ago played out Monday night at City Hall. Guilford County Schools Superintendent Mo Green and principals from the High Point schools came to the council meeting for an update on the school system. Green is going to municipal government meetings across the county to brief elected officials on the status of Guilford County Schools. The cities of High Point and Greensboro and the remainder
of the county maintained three separate school systems until a merger last decade. Green said school officials want to eliminate all low-performing schools in High Point and boost the number of city schools achieving Honor Schools of Excellence status. The superintendent asked for support from city leaders while also saying that city officials should hold the school system accountable. In another matter, the council approved a proposal to recognize the Radio Building downtown as a Guilford County historic landmark. The building dates from the early 1920s.

But Chavez, who still appears heavier than when he first took office in 1999, acknowledged that he could lose a few more pounds (kilograms). “Doing sit ups,” he said. “Eating well. One has to learn how to eat.”
Chavez suggested rice pasta instead of spaghetti made from wheat, and recommended drinking soy milk, saying soy products help fight aging. Chavez said his diet and exercise have made him feel stronger and “ready to continue commanding the Bolivarian Revolution” – the name he has given his socialist-inspired political movement.

Searchers find body of missing 5-year-old SANFORD (AP) – For a week, authorities feverishly searched for a 5-year-old girl across central North Carolina, only to find her body Monday off a rural road following accusations the girl’s mother offered her for sex. The investigation into the disappearance of Shaniya Davis yielded the arrest of her mother and two other men, though one man was later released. Searchers found Shaniya dumped into the woods 30 miles from her hometown in Fayetteville. Hundreds of volunteers hoping to find her alive left the site Shaniya of the search Davis dejected, unable to bring Shaniya home to an emotional father, her 7-year-old brother and the dolls she loved to play with. “I still feel kind of sick to my stomach,” said Angela Jackson, 27, from nearby Sanford, who has a two-month-old daughter but searched for consecutive days. Particularly disturbing were the accusations lodged against Shaniya’s mother, 25-year-old Antoinette Davis. Police charged

Police did not say how she died. Authorities also charged Mario Andrette McNeill, 29, with kidnapping after they said surveillance footage from a Sanford hotel showed him carrying Shaniya. Authorities said McNeill admitted taking the girl, though his attorney said he will plead not guilty. Fayetteville police spokeswoman Theresa Chance declined to talk about additional charges. She also wouldn’t comment on a cause of death or the condition of Shani-

They continued searching Monday, scouring miles of landscape, roads, ravines and fields on four-wheelers and with helicopters. “We were hoping that someone could carry her home,” said Syd Severe, 42, who came from Raleigh
to help with the search. “It’s just sick.” A cluster of emergency vehicles and law enforcement gathered where Shaniya’s body was found. Authorities blocked access to the road, a rural area popular with hunters that is less than a mile from a lakeside community. Shaniya’s father, Bradley Lockhart, said he raised his daughter for several years but last month decided to let her stay with her mother.

A QUICK THOUGHT
Founded in 1885
YOUR VIEW POLLS
OUR VIEW
f you had any thoughts that the 2010 election season locally was going to be overshadowed by the national battle between Democrats and Republicans in Congress, forget about it. The top story in the Enterprise Nov. 6 reported that former Davidson County Sheriff Gerald Hege will seek that office again and oppose the current sheriff, fellow Republican David Grice. That situation alone would be enough to generate a fair amount of interest. But also that day, we reported that longtime U.S. Rep. Howard Coble, R-6th, would be facing opposition next year – in the Republican Party primary. And now, N.C. Rep. Laura Wiley, a High Point Republican, has announced that she will not seek re-election next year. Several candidates are expected to announce for that seat. The GOP primary in the 6th District should be particularly interesting. Coble is serving his 13th term in the House and hasn’t faced party opposition since first being elected in 1984. High Pointer Cathy Brewer Hinson, manager of the Union Square home furnishings showroom and former adjunct professor at High Point University and Davidson County Community College, is poised to run a spirited campaign for the seat. Hinson, a life-long Republican and frequent writer of letters and guest columns in the Enterprise’s opinion and commentary pages, is making her first run for public office. It seems to us that Hinson’s campaign stems more from a frustration with the way things are going in Washington than a displeasure with the conservative Coble. But, she understands that if she’s going to exert her desired impact on Capitol Hill, she must defeat Coble first. Certainly a long shot to unseat her fellow Republican, Hinson’s campaign will be an interesting primary race to watch. How successful she is at winning votes should be a telling barometer of the level of political frustration in America today.

Lawmakers keep making N.C. tough place for business
I
t never ceases to amaze me how some politicians do math. Given North Carolina’s recent budget woes and massive federal budget deficits as far as the eye can see, it should be obvious that many lawmakers never learned how to subtract. They just know how to add. But that’s not the only computational problem. There are many North Carolina politicians who genuinely believe that the best way to make our state a more attractive place to do business is to increase the cost of doing business here. These politicians have raised state and local tax rates, mostly recently by more than $1 billion a year. They’ve jacked up fees and other regulatory costs to make land development more expensive. They’ve raised the government-mandated minimum wage and tried to strengthen labor unions, both policies designed to increase the price of labor. Here’s another egregious example. A couple of years ago, the General Assembly enacted a bill requiring that one-eighth of the state’s future energy needs be met by “renewable” sources such as wind, solar and firewood. In the meantime, the state is supposed to meet an initial goal of 3 percent “renewable” energy by 2012. The reason I put “renewable” in quotation marks is that the legislation’s definition excludes hydroelectric, which is the only such significant power source at the moment, as well as any future nuclear plants that reprocess their spent fuel, which would be pretty close to a renewable source of power. The reason the state had to mandate the use of “renewables” is that the energy they produce costs a lot more than that currently generated by coal, nuclear, and natural gas. For years, companies specializing in solar panels and wind turbines have been lobby-
ing strenuously for Congress or legislatures to compel electric utilities to buy their products. Now, thanks to the General Assembly and former Gov. Mike Easley, the utilities have to buy from such producers. OPINION Utilities don’t really mind, though, since the 2007 bill John allows them to pass the entire Hood cost of “renewable” energy to ■■■ their customers. Proponents don’t deny that they’ve made it more expensive to buy electricity in North Carolina. Their claim is that the state’s economy will prosper anyway because of the new “green jobs” that will be created. That’s a lot like saying that it’s economically beneficial for street punks to break the windows in your neighborhood, because of all the jobs it will create for glaziers and window-repair firms. Indeed, this way of thinking is actually known as the broken-window fallacy, based on the original insight by 19th century French economist Frederic Bastiat. In the case of energy, policies that create an artificial demand for “renewables” make some people wealthier at the expense of everyone else. They help raise the cost of doing business in North Carolina, taking us in precisely the wrong direction. Big-government politicians know how to add cost and divide fixed economic pies. What we really need are politicians who know how to subtract cost and multiply the number of pies. JOHN HOOD is president of the John Locke Foundation and publisher of CarolinaJournal.com.

Palestinians seek EU support for independence RAMALLAH, West Bank – The Palestinians asked the European Union on Monday to back their plan to have the U.N. Security Council recognize an independent Palestinian state without Israeli consent. The idea of seeking U.N. intervention has been gaining steam in the Arab world as the impasse in peacemaking drags on. The Palestinians seek a state in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem.

Conjoined twins separated in surgery MELBOURNE, Australia – Twin Bangladeshi girls joined at the top of their heads were in good condition Tuesday but were not yet separated after 24 hours of complicated surgery, hospital officials said. Ian McKenzie, a member of the Australian surgical team and director of anesthesia at the Royal Children’s Hospital, said the girls were improving as their bodies began to work individually.
BAGHDAD (AP) – Gunmen in Iraqi army uniforms abducted and killed 13 people whose bodies were found Monday with gunshot wounds to the head, including a local leader of Iraq’s largest Sunni party, which once helped fight alQaida. Police played down the incident as tribal violence in an attempt to defuse sectarian tension, but the political connection suggests the killings could also have been the work of insurgents or rival Sun-
nis vying for power before January elections. Monday’s attack took place at around 1:30 a.m. in the village of al-Saadan near the town of Abu Ghraib on Baghdad’s western outskirts, Abu Ghraib Mayor Shakir al-Zubaie said.

U.N.: Once-secret Iran nuclear site to start in 2011 VIENNA (AP) – Iranian technicians have moved highly sophisticated technical equipment into a previously secret uranium enrichment site in preparation for starting it up in 2011, the International Atomic Energy Agency said in a new report Monday.
The report offered no estimate of the new plant’s capabilities but a senior international official familiar with the watchdog agency’s work in Iran said that it appeared designed to produce about a ton of enriched uranium a year.
BEIJING (AP) – President Barack Obama prodded China about Internet censorship and free speech, but the message was not widely heard in China where his words were blocked online and shown on only one regional television channel. China has more than 250 million Internet users and employs some of the world’s tightest controls over what they see. The country is often criticized for its so-called “Great Firewall of China� – technology designed to prevent unwanted traffic from entering or leaving a network.
The official, as well as analysts, said that would be enough for a nuclear warhead but too little to fuel the nearly finished plant at the southern port of Bushehr and other civilian reactors Iran is planning to bring on line in the coming years.

BEIJING – Aiming beyond mere rivalry, President Barack Obama declared Monday in his first visit to China that the U.S. and the Chinese carry a “burden of leadership� as he meets with President Hu Jintao to confront climate change, nuclear proliferation and other urgent global problems. Economic and trade tensions shadowed their talks.
TAGAB VALLEY, Afghanistan (AP) – Rockets slammed into a market northeast of Kabul on Monday, killing 12 civilians but missing their presumed target: a meeting between France’s top general in Afghanistan and dozens of tribal elders and senior local officials. The attack also wounded 38 people, 20 of them critically. The market was crowded with shoppers because Monday is bazaar day in Tagab, a sprawling town of mud brick fortress-like compounds and small fields along a river surrounded by the barren slopes and snowcapped peaks of the Hundu Kush mountain range. Brig. Gen. Marcel Druart told The Associated Press that the meeting, known as a shura, continued despite the attack to show that the Taliban cannot disrupt NATO’s plans in a tense valley where both sides are competing for influence.

Millions will have to repay tax credit
Poll: Americans fret over health overhaul costs
WASHINGTON – More than 15 million taxpayers may owe the government $250 or more because of how the IRS last spring set up President Barack Obama’s tax break that was designed to help consumers spend the U.S. economy out of recession. Individuals with more than one job and married couples in which both spouses work may have to repay the government $400, either through a smaller tax refund or a larger tax bill, according to a report released Monday by the Treasury Department’s inspector general for tax administration. Social Security recipients who also earn taxable wages may have to repay $250.
WASHINGTON (AP) – It’s the cost, Mr. President. Americans are worried about hidden costs in the health care overhaul legislation, an Associated Press poll says. That’s creating new challenges for President Barack Obama as he tries to close the deal. Although Americans share a conviction that major health care changes are needed, Democratic bills that extend coverage to the uninsured and try to hold down medical costs get no better than a lukewarm reception. The poll found that 43 percent oppose the health care plans being discussed in Congress, while 41 percent are in support. An additional 15 percent remain neutral or undecided.

That’s about 49 million people, or 14.6 percent of U.S. households. The numbers are a significant increase from 2007, when 11.1 percent of U.S. households suffered from what USDA classifies as “food insecurity� – not having

Trinity may lift truck ordinance moratorium
WHO’S NEWS
----
BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
TRINITY – The Trinity City Council tonight may lift a moratorium it placed on a new ordinance that prohibits truck drivers from parking their tractor-trailers on their own property. Last month, the City Council decided to place the moratorium on enforcing the ordinance until November’s meeting. The ordinance, which was approved in August, prohibits the parking of large trucks, including cab and trailer, cab only and/or trailer, in residential neighborhoods. The ordinance also prohibits the parking of large trucks on any public street unless in the process of loading and unloading. Councilwoman Edith Reddick said Sunday the council may lift the moratorium after it considers text amendments to the ordinance. She said the text amendments would allow “trucks with three or more axles and over-the-road commercial freight haulers with two or more axles” to be “parked in residential zoning districts if parked behind the rear plane of the primary structure or within a permitted accessory structure.” Under the proposed text amendments, trailers would continue to be prohibited in residential neighborhoods, according to Reddick. Large trucks and trailers, however, may be parked in residential agricultural zoning districts if screened from the view of the street or placed 300 feet from the center line of the street, she said. At September’s council meeting, about a dozen Trinity residents spoke against the ordinance during the public forum section of the meeting, which drew a standingroom-only crowd. At the meeting, truck drivers tried to persuade the council to rescind the ordinance or grandfather those who would be in violation of the ordinance. Proponents of the ordinance say tractor-trailers are a nuisance in their neighborhoods. Before taking action on the moratorium and text amendments, the council will hear from the public. The meeting will be 7 p.m. at the Trinity City Hall Annex, 6703 N.C. 62, Trinity. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

A student talks with a representative from the Internal Revenue Service about potential employment opportunities during the job fair Monday at the North Carolina Career Consortium.
Students get jump on job search BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
HIGH POINT – Faran Brady knows finding a job in today’s economy can be tough, especially for a graduate fresh out of college. That’s why the senior, scheduled to graduate from High Point University in May, attended the North Carolina Career Consortium on Monday with a stack of resumes in hand. “I hope to land a full-time job when I graduate in May, and some of these employers have offices all across the country,” she said about companies who were recruiting at the event. Held at the Marriott Hotel at Piedmont Triad International Airport for alumni and students of HPU, Bennett College, Guilford College, Elon University and Greensboro College, the event was full of those seeking internships, part- and full-time jobs, as well as companies that had jobs to offer. “We are accepting resumes for full-time employees and interns,” said Nicole Barrington, a human resources manager with iSurity, a commercial insurance firm. “We’ve had success with various career fairs, and some of our best success stories come with those employees who started out as interns.”
SONNY HEDGECOCK | HPE
Lauren Williams, a sophomore at HPU, said she came to the fair seeking a paid internship for next summer. “To have an income during summer and to enhance my career experience is vital,” Williams said. “I’m looking for an internship that will help me in my nonprofit career, and it’s hard to find work out there right now.” Students like Brady and Williams can be prime candidates for growing companies who need skilled individuals, said Eric Melniczek, director of career and internship services at HPU. “This offers students an opportunity to connect with employers face to face rather than job search-
ing over the Internet,” Melniczek said. And businesses such as EcoLab always are looking for talented individuals in all walks of life, according to Sedar Jones, a staffing specialist with the company. “We hire entry-level sales and marketing positions all the time,” he said. “This is a good opportunity for employers, since all of our area universities are combined here.” Melniczek said about 195 students from HPU registered to attend the event, and students had participated in workshops that taught them skills to incorporate during the fair.

HIGH POINT – Two Blockbuster locations in High Point are not included in a growing number of stores the company plans to close in the Triad and across the country, officials said. Stores at 209 Eastchester

Blockbuster sites in High Point to stay open
Two other Triad stores – one in Winston-Salem and another in Lexington – didn’t make the cut.
Gerald Voorhees, assistant professor of communication at High Point University, recently participated in a roundtable discussion on teaching and researching media literacy at the National Communication Association conference in Chicago. The conference, which aims to enhance research, teaching and understanding on topics of intellectual and social significance in human communication, was held Nov. 12-15.
cided to close after evaluating our portfolio,” Hargrove said. “If a store is closing, the vast majority are in close proximity to other stores that will allow us to continue to serve that local neighborhood.” A store in Winston-Salem at 7742 North Point Blvd. also will close Jan. 3. About 20 percent of the company’s locations could close, and it will focus on Internet rental services and rental kiosks, Hargrove said. Blockbuster hopes to have about 10,000 rental kiosks placed in various locations by the end of 2010. “We have other forms of delivery and entertainment we’re trying to make our customers aware of,” he said. phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

In a career that began in 1946, Woodward played roles ranging from the popular soap opera “Eastenders” to Shakespeare, and at least 40 films. “I think I’ve probably more television than any actor living,” Woodward said in 1987 interview with The Associated Press. “I’ve done over 2,000, could be 3,000 now, television productions.”

Men applaud the pleasures of being with older women
D
Dear San Diego Reader: I appreciate your comments. My male readers shared some interesting insights in favor of the “cougar.� Read on: Dear Abby: Older women are more established and more inter-
ested in fostering personal relationships. Many young women are highly caADVICE reer-oriented and less Dear interested Abby in pursuing ■■■relationships, and that can be a turnoff for men. Not all men avoid commitment. Some of us desire it, and we have a greater chance of finding it with someone older, even at the risk of finding a woman beyond childbearing years. – William in Maryland Dear Abby: In truth, I am neither looking for a cougar nor a younger woman. What I am looking for is someone full of life, full of ideas, able to think for herself and not wanting to think for me. I seek someone who is confident, but humble. THAT is what I find attractive in a woman. – One Man’s Perspective Dear Abby: On my 25th birthday, I met a woman who was 10 years older than me. We were both just looking for someone to have fun with. Six months later we were married. We were still together 45 years later when she passed away. I wouldn’t trade our years together for anything because we were friends and able to talk
about anything to each other. We learned to enjoy simple pleasures, and that made all the difference. If you find someone you are comfortable with, don’t let the calendar get in your way. – Still Grieving in Killeen, Texas Dear Abby: “‘Cougar’ in New York� answered her own question when she said, “I am a caring, fun person who loves music and dancing.� Women like her are attractive at any age. It’s the lack of older men who can keep up with them that makes “cougars� available to younger guys! – John in Grand Marais, Minn. Dear Abby: Age is just a number. The age difference doesn’t matter. Women tend to live longer than men. I’m in my early 50s and going through a divorce. I always wanted to be a better dancer, so I enrolled in a dance class to improve my skills. I met a wonderful woman there who is several years older than me. Life happens. We have been dating for more than a year now, and we’re having the time of our lives. As my friend says, “Does it get any better than this?� – “Boy Toy� in New York DEAR ABBY is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

ear Abby: In your response to the letter from “’Cougar’ in New York� (Sept. 3), you invited your male readers to share their thoughts. Abby, cougars are nothing new. They’re simply out of the closet. Men have been called “dirty old men� for their dalliances with younger women. But older women have quietly involved themselves with younger men for years. As women have become more successful, both in the corporate environment and individually, they have grown bolder in their personal lives. As a 58-year-old man, I look on this as a natural progression of the boomer-born sexual revolution. When I was in my teens and suffering the testosterone overload, my father said, “Look for an older woman to teach you the ropes.� His idea was that they had the experience and patience to tutor. I don’t consider “cougar� as being predatory, nor do most men and women I know. Our world is changing and evolving, and this is simply another chapter. – San Diego Reader

TRIAD — An organization that works with needy and at-risk youth will kick off its annual fundraiser this week. Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Central Piedmont will begin its annual Caring for Kids fundraising campaign on Thursday. The campaign runs through the end of the year and the organization encourages residents to make donations to help support the programs of BBBS. BBBS is a non-fee-based, nonprofit group that matches children with
mentors, i.e., “Big Brothers� and “Big Sisters.� The mission of the program is to help end some of the negative cycles that are linked to poverty and single-parent headed families. Much of the work of the program comes from volunteers. The organization says independent research shows children who are matched with a Big Brother or Sister are more likely than their peers to have good school attendance and achievement, avoid negative behaviors, and have a more positive relationship with their families.

Speaking to an annual meeting of the North Carolina School Boards Association, Perdue said she’s more hopeful than when she took office in January, when she had to close a budget shortfall that ultimately reached $3.2 billion.

laying sports while suffering from a concussion is dangerous. Concussions result from a blow or jolt to the head, causing a change in mental status. The brain slams against the bones of the skull, resulting in bruising, bleeding and cell death. If you do not allow the brain time to heal fully, a second injury (even a light hit) can result in rapid swelling in the brain that can cause severe neurological problems and, in some cases, be fatal. Athletes need to be aware of this and be honest with parents and coaches when they are injured. You do not have to be knocked unconscious to be diagnosed with a concussion. Following the head injury, you can notice symptoms such as headache, nausea, vomiting, balance problems, altered vision, sensitivity to light or noise, confusion, memory and concentration problems, feeling tired, sadness, depression, irritability and neck pain. You do not have to suffer from all the symptoms to have a concussion. It is also possible to have an onset of symptoms that is delayed by hours, days or even weeks. Sports teams need to have a plan in place before the season starts as preparation for a possible injury. A health-care professional needs to be identified to manage injuries during practice and games. Frequently, teams use certified athletic trainers or a medical doctor. Specific medical testing needs to be completed to determine the severity of the concussion and the appropriate treatment. The athlete needs to be taken out of play immediately and examined. Observation and testing will continue every five minutes following the injury until symptoms improve, and the athlete will be monitored during the next several days or weeks for delayed signs and symptoms. Physical and mental rest may be indicated to allow the brain to heal. The certified athletic trainer or medical doctor will be able to complete testing to determine when the athlete can safely return to the sport. The athlete should not be allowed to return to play until he or she receives clearance from the health care professional.

Herpes is not the end of life
D
ear Dr. Donohue: I am a 32-year-old woman who just learned that she has genital herpes. As I understand it, this means I should not have sex and cannot have children. I also understand that there is no treatment and that I’ll have it for life. Can you paint a brighter picture for me? – K.M.

Someone has misinformed you. Genital herpes doesn’t pose the calamitous consequences of which you’ve been told. In the United States, 26 percent of women and 18 percent of males are infected with the herpes simplex virus-2 – HSV-2, the major cause of genital herpes. The virus does live in the body in nerve cells and, from time to time, it can emerge from its nerve-cell home and cause a visible outbreak on the genitalia. Recurrent outbreaks are milder than the first one. No one tells a herpes patient she cannot have children and cannot have a sexual relationship. Infected women who become pregnant are checked to see if they are shedding virus at the time of delivery. If they are, a cesarean section is performed. If they are not, the baby is delivered vaginally. The herpes virus is transmitted when there is an open outbreak, and people should not have sexual relations at that time. However, even when an infected person shows no signs of

an active infection, the virus can still be passed. Condoms, while not 100 perHEALTH cent protective, cut Dr. Paul the risk of Donohue transmis■■■ sion. The initial herpes infection is the worst. Tiny blisters on a red base break out on the genitals, and they progress to sores and then scabs. People might have a fever and feel ill. Healing takes place without treatment in 16 to 19 days, and more quickly when treatment is begun early. Subsequent outbreaks are less onerous. Medicines exist for herpes. They don’t eradicate the virus, but they cut short the time of observable infection. They also can be used by people who have frequent outbreaks to suppress those outbreaks. Acyclovir, famciclovir and valacyclovir are their names. The herpes booklet explains this infection in detail. To obtain a copy, write: Dr. Donohue – No. 1202, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Can. with the recipient’s printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery. Dear Dr. Donohue: My 22-year-old son still has acne, which he has
had since he was a teenager. When do those acne-causing hormones settle down? I’m anxious to see his handsome face clear up. – M.S. Acne most often starts around puberty, when the surge of male hormones causes an increased production of oil, which, in turn, feeds the bacterium Propionobacterium acnes. The combination of the two clogs skin pores. They irritate the pore and give rise to a pimple. Many people are over acne by their early 20s. However, 54 percent of women and 40 percent of men between the ages of 24 and 44 still struggle with acne, and some must contend with it at even older ages. Over-thecounter medicines with benzoyl peroxide often can keep it under control. If not, people have to step up to prescription medicines, like Differin, Tazorac and Retin-A, all of which are applied to the skin. Antibiotic creams, gels or solutions often are needed, and sometimes oral antibiotics have to be used. If your son is bothered by his acne, he really ought to be under the care of a dermatologist.
DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible. Readers may write him or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.

Atlantis lifts off on supply mission CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) – Space shuttle Atlantis rocketed into orbit Monday with six astronauts and a full load of spare parts for the international space station. The supply run should keep the space station humming for years to come, and the shuttle astronauts in space through Thanksgiving.
Atlantis shot smoothly through a partly cloudy afternoon sky, to the delight of about 100 Twittering space enthusiasts who won frontrow seats. It was NASA’s first launch “tweetup,” and the invitees splashed news – mostly tweeting “wow” and “amazing” about the shuttle’s liftoff – over count-
less cell phones and computers. “We wish you good luck, godspeed, and we’ll see you back here just after Thanksgiving,” launch director Mike Leinbach told shuttle commander Charles Hobaugh right before liftoff. Atlantis will reach the space station Wednesday.

LAS VEGAS – The physician being investigated in Michael Jackson’s death was due in a Las Vegas courtroom Monday to ask a judge to let him make Murray minimum child support payments to a California woman and her son. Dr. Conrad Murray’s court appearance was scheduled after prosecutors sought a warrant for Murray’s arrest for failure to appear for previous hearings.
NEW YORK (AP) – Most women don’t need a mammogram in their 40s and should get one every two years starting at 50, a government task force said Monday. It’s a major reversal that conflicts with the American Cancer Society’s position. Also, the task force said breast self-exams do no good and women shouldn’t be taught to do them. For the past two decades, the cancer society has been recommending annual mammograms beginning at 40. But the government panel concluded getting screened for breast cancer so early and so often leads to too many false alarms and unneeded biopsies.

High Point Regional Health System exercise physiologist Steve Golinski will lead “The Lucky 13” to prep for running the half marathon in March.
Looking for ‘Lucky 13’ Wanted: Group to train for 13-mile run BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
H
IGH POINT – The number 13, long associated with bad luck, will actually bring good fortune to the individuals chosen to participate in a new fitness program being offered by High Point Regional Health System. The program, called “The Lucky 13 Challenge,” will provide free personal fitness training for 13 men and women who are out of shape but would like to get in good enough shape to run 13 miles – there’s that lucky number again – at the North Carolina Half Marathon, which will be held March 20 in High Point, in conjunction with the North Carolina Marathon. “The purpose is to show how an everyday person can sign up for this event and accomplish it,” explains Steve Golinski, exercise physiologist at the health system’s Fitness Center, who will coordinate the challenge. “We’re going to take these people out of their normal element and show them what they’re capable of. And what’s going to be neat is to see how people lose weight and reduce or even go off medications as they get healthier.”

High Point Regional Health System’s “Lucky 13 Challenge” will provide personal training for 13 individuals to help them prepare for the North Carolina Half Marathon, which will take place in High Point on March 20. To be considered, submit a letter by Monday explaining why you should be chosen for this opportunity. Letters should be sent to Steve Golinski in care of The Fitness Center, 601 N. Elm St., P.O. Box HP-5, High Point, NC 27261, or you can e-mail your letter to Golinski at sgolinski@hprhs. com. For more information, call Golinski at 878-6221. Interested individuals are asked to submit a letter to Golinski explaining why they should be chosen as one of the “Lucky 13” participants. The letter should be submitted by Monday. According to Golinski, the program specifically targets out-ofshape men and women who need to reshape the way they think
about exercise and nutrition. “That’s the exciting part – getting people excited about exercise and changing their lives,” he says. “Maybe there are working moms or other people out there who don’t think they can fit it in their schedule, but we’re going to show them you can fit it in as long as you get the right direction.” That’s where Golinski enters the picture. An accomplished runner, he will provide participants with all the tools they need to get in shape for the run, from an individualized workout program and nutrition guidance to a gait analysis and pre-race tips. Selected participants will be given a fitness assessment to ensure they’re healthy enough to train. Participants will receive 20 free supervised weeks of personal training by Golinski, three educational workshops at The Fitness Center, one free run/walk gait analysis, a discount on Fitness Center membership, metabolic testing and a team T-shirt. The training program will require about four workouts a week, though they don’t necessarily have to be done at The Fitness Center. For those who consider running a half marathon too daunting an adventure, Golinski
offers encouragement. “It’s like the old question of how do you eat an elephant – one bite at a time,” he says. “The same is true of running a half marathon – it’s one step at a time. The important thing is the behavior change.” Not only will Golinski provide a training program for the “Lucky 13,” he’ll also offer advice on how to avoid some of the injuries that are common to novice runners when they first begin training. “Without proper direction, you can still go out and run, but oftentimes you can overtrain and actually decrease your performance,” he says. “And there’s also the problem of running too fast too soon, which can increase your risk of injury.” Furthermore, being part of the “Lucky 13” team will provide additional motivation and accountability, according to Golinski. “When you’re in a group setting like that, accountability goes a long way,” he explains. “If you see your friend going through some of the same challenges you’re going through, you feel better about where you are. Instead of feeling like you’re on an island by yourself, you feel like you’re not alone.” jtomlin@hpe.com | 888-3579
Program to focus on Washington’s Southern tour ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT
T
he High Point Historical Society is celebrating Thanksgiving early by commemorating the 220th anniversary of a Thanksgiving proclamation by George Washington and retracing his Southern tour in 1791. The event will be held at 6 p.m. Thursday at the High Point Museum, 1859 E. Lexington Ave. The highlight of the evening will be guest speaker Warren Bingham,
who will relive the history of Washington’s Southern tour of 1791, which included stops in the Triad. He is working on “My Kind of Southern Bingham Tour,” a book that revisits Washington’s 1791 presidential visit to Virginia, the Carolinas and Georgia. The book will be published jointly by the Center for American Places and the Univer-
sity of Chicago Press. Bingham, a native of Mount Gilead, resides in Raleigh with his wife, Laura, who is president of Peace College. A graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a degree in history, Bingham holds a master’s degree from Hollins University in Roanoke, Va. Thursday’s event will commemorate Washington’s declaration of Nov. 26, 1789, as “A Day of Public Thanksgiving and Prayer.” He signed the decree on Oct. 3, desig-
YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.
nating the day should “be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty God.” While there were Thanksgiving observances in America both before and after Washington’s proclamation, this represents the first to be so designated by the new national government. This event is free and open to the public. To RSVP, contact Teresa Loflin at 885-1859 or teresa.loflin@ highpointnc.gov.
The Greensboro Youth Council is seeking new and gently used toys for children, ages newborn to 13 years old, for its annual Santa’s Workshop toy drive. The organization requests that all donated used toys be put in plastic bags or boxes. All toys must be in good condition.

Russ Ekeblad’s team turned in a sterling performance (never trailing in any match) to take the prestigious Spingold Teams at the Summer NABC. In the final they beat a squad led by Rose Meltzer. In today’s deal Jan Jansma, North for EKEBLAD, made a negative double over West’s overcall. East’s two diamonds would have been effective as a lead-director had it been natural. Alas, the bid was conventional, showing a sound raise to two hearts.
hand with long clubs. All passed; plus 90.
HEART LEAD
DAILY QUESTION
So after South, Ricco van Prooijen, leaped to four spades, West led jack of hearts. Declarer threw two diamonds on the A-K, took the ace of clubs and led the queen: king, ruff. He let the jack of trumps ride to West, who cashed the king of diamonds. South ruffed the next diamond, took the ace of trumps and ran the clubs. Making four, plus 420 to EKEBLAD. In the replay, NorthSouth for MELTZER were using a strong, artificial one-club opening, so South opened two clubs to show a minimum
You hold: S 6 4 H Q 7 3 D A Q 5 3 C 9 8 5 3. Your partner opens one diamond, you raise to two diamonds and he bids two hearts. What do you say? ANSWER: Partner’s two hearts is a try for game, and you have a sound raise with working honors. To sign off at three diamonds would be timid. Bid three hearts. Partner won’t expect four-card support since you didn’t respond one heart. If he has 9 7, A K J 6, K J 8 6 2, A 4, four hearts will be the only makable game. East dealer Neither side vulnerable
Tuesday, Nov. 17, 2009 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Isaac Hanson, 29; Daisy Fuentes, 43; RuPaul, 49; Danny DeVito, 65 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Once you realize what it is you really need in your life, it will be easy for you to make the changes required to meet your goals. You need to look beyond your regular parameters. Don’t be afraid to change your mind or your plans mid-stream if the end result will be better for you. It’s up to you to take care of business. Your numbers are 2, 11, 13, 22, 25, 36, 47 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Considering how you are making money should encourage you to look for something more challenging. Making a move or surrounding yourself with a different environment or group of associates will be beneficial. A partnership is in the stars. ★★★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You may be confused by the signals you are receiving from partners or people you are dealing with right now. Listen carefully to be aware of what’s true and what isn’t. Don’t allow yourself to fall into someone’s trap. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You’ll be living in the moment. A love connection can lead to an exciting time with interesting new developments if you are receptive to what’s being offered. A change in your professional direction shows potential. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Stop going down that long pathway that leads to doom and gloom. Consider what makes you happy and incorporate more of it into your life. It’s you who sets your goals, so stop playing the role of the victim. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You will learn a valuable lesson if you take careful note of the behavior of people who interest you most. Be independent and protect your rights instead of giving in to someone who wants to control what you do and what you can accomplish. ★★★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Keep your friends close but do not lose sight of your enemies. Someone you work with will be trying to get ahead at your expense. Emotional blackmail is apparent and you must not give in to a sob story. ★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Mix the old with the new and bring your past and your future together. A romantic getaway will do wonders for you. Single or not, adding spice to your life will enhance your current relationship or bring new lovers into your life. ★★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): An impulsive decision regarding your home or personal life will cause a rift between you and someone you are close to. Confusion and uncertainty are apparent, so discuss your intentions with anyone whom your plans will affect. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Finish what you start. Take stock of where you are and where you want to be. Procrastination will lead to depression and a lowered self-esteem. Secret matters will turn out to be less than what you had hoped. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Focus on work, making money and finding new outlets for your talent. Do not let your emotions get in the way or let someone who disappointed you occupy your time and hold you back. An older relative or one of your beliefs will cause you confusion. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Trust in yourself. You have to do things your way and finish what you start. A relationship is questionable. You probably can accomplish more on your own. ★★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Don’t stop when you are only halfway to the finish line. A financial gain is apparent. Collect old debts or start up a venture that can lead to personal profits. ★★ 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.

COLLEGE HOOPS NOTES:
W
ake Forest struggled shooting from the outside at times last season and the trend has continued for the Demon Deacons from behind the 3-point arc this season. Wake made 5-of-17 shots (29.4 percent) in its 76-56 victory against Oral Roberts and an exact third of its shots (4-of-12) in Sunday’s rout of East Carolina. The combined 31 percent shooting percentage for the two games is just below the 32 percent of 3-point shots the Deacons made last year. Coach Dino Gaudio didn’t express any worries with the 3-point effort against ECU in which freshman Konner Tucker went 2-for-2, Al-Farouq SPORTS Aminu and freshman Arie Stewart each went 1-for-2 and the rest of the Greer team was 0-for-6. Smith “I’m not a great mathematician, ■■■ but if we go 4-of-12 in our 3-point shooting, that’s the same as 6-for-12 in 2s, so I’ll take that any time,” Gaudio said. Don’t expect Wake on typical nights to launch more than the 17 3s that it took against Oral Roberts. “I think 13 or 14 (3-point attempts) would be a nice number,” Gaudio said.
FOUL LINE WOES Ish Smith’s shooting is being closely watched as he takes over at point guard in the wake of Jeff Teague leaving Wake Forest for the NBA. Smith bagged two dunks as he went 6-of-13 from the field against ECU, but went just 2-of-6 from the free throw line, bringing up memories of his sophomore season two year ago when he shot just 29 per cent from the stripe. “I missed a couple and that is something to work on,” Smith said. “But each shot is different and you can’t let the last shot affect the next shot. It’s not a big deal.”
PLAYER OF WEEK HONORS Aminu was named the ACC Player of the Week on Monday after averaging 24 points and 11 rebounds in the Demon Deacons’ two wins last weekend. Against Oral Roberts on Friday, Aminu posted a double-double of 25 points and 13 rebounds, one off his career high in each category. It was his 11th career double-double after posting 10 as a freshman last season. Aminu led Wake with 23 points and nine rebounds against ECU. For the week, Aminu shot 64 percent (16-of-25) from the floor and was 4-of-7 from three-point range (57.1 percent). It is Aminu’s first player of the week honor. He was named Rookie of the Week a school-record five times last season. Miami’s Durand Scott earned the first Rookie of the Week for his efforts in the Hurricanes’ seasonopening win over N.C. Central.
HIGH FLYER High Point University men’s coach Scott Cherry said before the season started that he hoped the Panthers would create transition opportunities that would let athletic freshman Corey Law break free for dunks. Law showed Saturday what he could do given the opportunity by taking flight and slamming down a spectacular windmill dunk against UNC Pembroke. “I joke with the team that if I get on a breakaway, I’m going to windmill it but in the back in mind I’m like, I’m not going to try it because if I miss it, coach Cherry is going to pull me out quick,” Law said. “But, I was running the lane and it was just there and I did it. I was kind of surprised.”
NO BIG DEAL Panther guard Eugene Harris went over the 1,000point mark for his career on Saturday, become the 27th player in HPU history to do so. Harris ended the night with 1,004 points. “It was nice but after the way last season went for us, I just want to win,” Harris said. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Duke’s Jon Scheyer (30) drives to the basket as Coastal Carolina’s Jon Pack (40) defends during Monday night’s game at Cameron Indoor Stadium. Brian Zoubek looks on during the Blue Devils’ 74-49 victory.
Duke breezes past Coastal DURHAM (AP) – Kyle Singler had 23 points and 11 rebounds, and No. 9 Duke beat Coastal Carolina 74-49 on Monday night in the first round of the NIT Season Tip-Off. Freshman Andre Dawkins had 13 points and Jon Scheyer and Miles Plumlee added 10 apiece for the Blue Devils (2-0). They held the Chanticleers to three field goals during a 14-minute stretch of the first half, put themselves up by 25 points with a 24-11 spurt midway through the second and cruised from there to a second-round matchup with the Elon-Charlotte winner tonight at 6. Mario Edwards scored 12 to lead the Chanticleers (1-1). Their coach, Cliff Ellis, beat Duke three times from 1987-90 during his decade coaching at Clemson. But that didn’t translate onto the court for a Coastal Carolina team seeking its first win against an Atlantic Coast Conference team since 1987. But on a night when the Blue Devils once again were short-handed due to an injury
and a suspension, Singler was there to keep them rolling. The ACC’s preseason player of the year followed his 20-point performance in the opening win against North Carolina-Greensboro with even bigger numbers, scoring 15 in the first half and finishing 8 of 14 in 36 minutes. Dawkins, a freshman with a quick trigger from long range, hit two 3-pointers during the overwhelming second-half spurt. The first made it 50-28 with 11 minutes left and pushed Duke’s lead into the 20s. The Blue Devils extended their NCAArecord nonconference winning streak at Cameron Indoor Stadium to 70, claimed their 30th straight win at home against an unranked team and improved to 19-2 in the preseason NIT, a tournament they have won three times. Coastal Carolina, which was playing its first game against a top-10 team since a 43-point loss to No. 7 Florida in 2002, fell to 1-28 against the ACC and lost its sixth straight road game.
Surging Tar Heels hit road to close season BY BRIANA GORMAN ENTERPRISE DURHAM BUREAU
CHAPEL HILL – Four weeks ago, after blowing an 18-point third quarter lead to fall Florida State, it looked like North Carolina’s postseason hopes were in jeopardy. The Tar Heels were sitting at 4-3, with all three losses to ACC teams, and needed to win at least three of their remaining five games against a tough conference schedule to become bowl eligible. But three straight victories later, the Tar Heels have turned their season around. By defeating then-No. 14 Miami on Saturday, UNC locked up a bowl game for
the second consecutive season and enters this week’s game at Boston College (noon, ESPN2) looking to improve their record to earn a better bowl bid. “We knew we had a chance,” UNC cornerback Kendric Burney said. “We knew that (at) any time, the team could explode.” The Tar Heels (7-3, 3-3) said their challenge over the final two weeks of the regular season, which includes a trip to N.C. State on Nov. 28, is to avoid becoming complacent. UNC also was 7-3 at this point last year but finished the season with an embarrassing loss to NCSU, a win over Duke and a loss to West Virginia in the Meineke Car Care Bowl.

I
f you love watching college basketball on television, this is your lucky day. Or maybe it’s your longest day. Starting at midnight earlier this morning, ESPN and its family of networks embarked on a 24-hour non-stop live college basketball marathon. The action began with Cal State-Fullerton at UCLA and will not end until the final buzzer sounds in Tempe, Ariz. about 1:30 a.m. on Wednesday.
I’ll admit there are some pretty good matchups – Clemson at Liberty at 10 a.m., Temple at Georgetown at 4 p.m., Arkansas vs. Louisville at 7:30 p.m., Gonzaga at Michigan State at 8 p.m. and Memphis vs. Kansas in St. Louis at 10 p.m. are top-notch tilts. Some of the others, well, let’s just say they don’t inspire much “November Madness” in me. The 6 a.m. contest features Monmouth, N.J. at St. Peter’s (no, not the one in Rome).
And who wouldn’t want to to race to the telly to catch all of that 8 a.m. Drexel-Niagara showdown? Wonder how many folks will “fall” asleep watching that one. Get it? Niagara? Fall? Sorry... Anyway, I may tune in for a little bit of the college hoops marathon. But all 24 hours might produce basketball overload.
YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

Orlando trips Charlotte, 97-91 ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) – Rashard Lewis had 10 points in his first game back from a suspension and the Orlando Magic beat the Charlotte Bobcats 97-91 Monday night. Lewis looked rusty after serving a 10-game ban handed out by the NBA
for testing positive for an elevated testosterone level. The All-Star forward finally found his footing late, sparking a rally that moved the Magic in front for good. Teammate Jameer Nelson finished with 16 points. Flip Murray tied a ca-
reer high with 31 points, and Stephen Jackson had 13 points and nine rebounds for Charlotte hours after the disgruntled swingman was acquired from Golden State. The Bobcats couldn’t avoid their fifth straight loss.
Bobcats acquire disgruntled Jackson from Warriors CHARLOTTE (AP) – The Golden State Warriors found a home for the disgruntled swingman Stephen Jackson on Monday, sending him to the Charlotte Bobcats in a four-player deal that pairs him with coach Larry Brown. The Bobcats sent shooting guard Raja Bell and forward Vladimir Radmanovic to the Warriors for Jackson and guard Acie Law. The deal gave Jackson his wish: a ticket out of town after his difficult relationship with Warriors coach Don Nelson, who acknowledged since the season began the team would try to trade him. Now Brown, the Hall of Famer who has coached numerous difficult play-
ers, including Allen Iverson, will get a crack at the talented and polarizing Jackson. With managing partner Michael Jordan signing off on the deal, Charlotte takes on Jackson’s contract, which has three years and $28 million left after this season. Golden State inherits Radmanovic’s deal, worth about $13.5 million over this season and next. Bell and Law are in the final year of their contracts. The 6-foot-8 Jackson gives Charlotte, the NBA’s lowest-scoring team at 82.4 points a game, an immediate offensive boost. He’s averaging 16.6 points in nine games this season, after averaging 20.7 points and 6.5 assists last season.
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) – Bill Belichick defended his decision to go for it on fourth down as criticism mounted Monday of the call that led to the New England Patriots stunning loss. The coach hailed as one of the NFL’s best was a target of columnists, talk radio callers and two of his former players. Why, they all wondered, did he gamble with a six-point lead and just over two minutes to go against the Indianapolis Colts? The gamble failed and the Patriots lost 35-34 after leading by 17 points in the fourth quarter Sunday night. “The same thing I said after the game,” Belichick said at his regular Monday news conference. “I thought it was our best chance to win. We weren’t able to make it.” An average punt would have left Peyton Manning about 60 to 70 yards from
the end zone, a long distance but one Manning has traveled before with little time left. But when the Patriots gained 1 yard on fourth-and-2, his task became much easier. Manning got the ball at the New England 29-yard line and four plays later he threw a 1-yard touchdown pass to Reggie Wayne with 13 seconds left. Matt Stover’s extra point was the winning margin. Belichick was noncommittal Monday when asked if he would make the same decision again. “You only get one chance,” he said. When that chance ended, the second guessing started. NBC analyst Rodney Harrison, a safety for Belichick for six years who retired before this season, called it “the worst coaching decision I’ve ever seen Bill Belichick make.”
Panthers shuffle line to replace Gross CHARLOTTE (AP) – In all but one game over the past seven years, Jordan Gross has lined up at tackle as Carolina’s highest-paid and most effective blocker. Now Jake Delhomme’s blind-side protector will watch the rest of the season while wearing a cast, just when the Panthers were starting to feel confident with their recent streak of good play. Gross was recovering
from surgery Monday, a day after breaking his right ankle when an Atlanta player fell into his leg in the Panthers’ 28-19 victory. The 2008 Pro Bowl pick, who had missed only one game in his career, is lost for the season. Except for one game last season when he was recovering from a concussion, Gross has been the anchor of the line going back to Carolina’s Super Bowl season in 2003. Now two men
face new roles in trying to replace him: veteran Travelle Wharton and untested Mackenzy Bernadeau. When Gross went down in the second quarter Sunday, Wharton moved from left guard to left tackle, a position where he has 33 career starts. Bernadeau, who has played only as a short-yardage fullback and on tackle-eligible plays in his two years in the NFL, moved to Wharton’s spot.
NFL fines Titans owner $250,000 for gesture NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – The NFL has fined Titans owner Bud Adams $250,000 for making an obscene gesture at Buffalo fans while celebrating Tennessee’s victory over the Bills. Commissioner Roger Goodell notified Adams of the fine Monday. League spokes-
man Greg Aiello said it is for conduct detrimental to the NFL. Adams was seen making the gesture while in his luxury suite and again on the field after Sunday’s 41-17 victory. The 86-year-old Adams issued an apology a couple of hours later, saying he got caught up in the excitement.
Dolphins’ Brown likely to miss Panthers game DAVIE, Fla. (AP) – Ronnie Brown remains on crutches 24 hours after hurting his right foot. The Miami Dolphins’ running back was hurt Sunday during his team’s 25-23 win over Tampa Bay. He’s unlikely to play
Thursday at Charlotte, and he could be sidelined much longer. Brown would be replaced in the starting lineup by Ricky Williams, who came off the bench for his first 100-yard rushing game this season
against the Buccaneers. Brown is the Dolphins’ leading rusher with 648 yards and eight touchdowns. Williams ran for 102 yards against the Bucs, extending his franchise record of 21 games with at least 100 yards.
Westbrook’s status uncertain after concussion PHILADELPHIA (AP) – Brian Westbrook’s status is uncertain after the former All-Pro running back sustained another concussion in Philadelphia’s 31-23 loss at San Diego. Westbrook was playing his first game after sitting out two because of a concussion suffered Oct. 26. He was injured in
the third quarter Sunday on a screen play in which he was caught between a block by Eagles receiver Jason Avant and Chargers safety Eric Weddle. Eagles coach Andy Reid said the team will take precautions with Westbrook and it’s too early to tell when Westbrook will return, if at all.
Coghlan, Bailey earn rookie of the year honors NEW YORK (AP) – Chris Coghlan and Andrew Bailey both agreed to change, then quickly got their chance in the majors. Now each has a rookie reward that will last forever. Coghlan, the pesky Marlins leadoff hitter, won the National League Rookie of the Year award in a close vote Monday and Bailey took the AL honor after an outstanding season as Oakland’s closer. “I couldn’t have written it better,” Coghlan said during a conference call. A second baseman in the minors, Coghlan made a hasty shift to left field in May
and found a home atop Florida’s lineup. Bailey also switched successfully, going from struggling Double-A starter to AllStar reliever in a year. “I think the move to the bullpen allowed me to get back mentally to who I was,” Bailey said, explaining that he began challenging hitters again. “Just took the opportunity and ran with it.” Coghlan edged Philadelphia pitcher J.A. Happ, receiving 17 first-place votes and 105 points in balloting by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America. Happ, the only player picked on all 32
ballots, garnered 10 first-place votes and 94 points. Bailey, who had 26 saves and a 1.84 ERA this season, was selected first on 13 of 28 ballots and finished with 88 points. Texas shortstop Elvis Andrus was the runner-up with 65 points, one more than Detroit pitcher Rick Porcello. Bailey, a surprise All-Star in July, was driving when he got word that he won. “At first I thought it was a prank call. Which one of my friends is playing a prank on me?” he said. “I didn’t want to take my eyes off the road.”
Coghlan dug himself out of an early slump and had a superb second half. He batted .321 with nine homers and 31 doubles in 128 games, scoring 84 runs and driving in 47. Called up from the minors in May, the 24-year-old Coghlan topped NL rookies in batting average, runs, hits (162), total bases (232) and on-base percentage (.390). Though he was left off seven ballots, he became the third Florida player to win the award, joining Hanley Ramirez (2006) and Dontrelle Willis (2003).

Pirates plunder Tulsa TULSA, Okla. (AP) – Skip Holtz got what he considered the best performance he’d ever seen out of East Carolina’s offense, then watched as his defense rose to the same level of excellence. Dominique Lindsay ran for a career-high 172 yards, Darryl Freeney had a career-best 152 yards receiving and East Carolina maintained its lead in Conference USA’s East Division with a 44-17 victory over Tulsa late Sunday night.
In a rematch of last season’s conference championship game, the Pirates (6-4, 5-1) dominated on offense in the first half and then sealed the game with three defensive touchdowns in the fourth quarter. The Pirates ranked among the top 20 programs in the nation with 44 unconventional scores over the past decade, but had only two kickoff returns for touchdowns this season before the fourth-quarter feeding frenzy.
Patrick Pinkney threw for 275 yards and two touchdowns, to Lindsay and Freeney. East Carolina is a game ahead of UAB, Southern Miss and Central Florida with two games left. UAB and Southern Miss visit the Pirates to finish the season. “We’ve talked about right now with where we are, we control our own destiny. But when you look at it, there’s three teams nipping at your heels right now,” ECU head coach Skip Holtz said.
Two Blue Devils suffer season-ending injuries DURHAM (AP) – Duke has lost two players to season-ending injuries. Coach David Cutcliffe said Monday that offensive guard Mitchell Lederman and backup quarterback Sean Renfree are out for the year. Lederman broke a toe on his right foot two weeks ago during the loss to North Carolina and had surgery Monday. He had started seven of nine games at left guard.
Renfree tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee in the second half last week against Georgia Tech, and school officials say he will have surgery at a later date. Renfree is considered the Blue Devils’ quarterback of the future and was the backup to fouryear starter Thaddeus Lewis. The Blue Devils (5-5, 3-3 ACC) visit No. 21 Miami this week.

NEW YORK (AP) – Investors kept the stock market’s upward momentum going Monday, sending shares sharply higher after retail sales rebounded more than expected in October and the dollar extended its slide. Major stock indexes rose more than 1 percent to new 13-month highs, including the Dow Jones industrial average, which jumped 136 points. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index closed above the 1,100 mark for the first time in more than a year. The weaker dollar lifted gold to a new record and pumped up prices of other commodities, including oil. That, in turn, helped shares of energy and materials companies. Stocks got another boost after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke reaffirmed in a midday speech that the central bank would

Retail sales rise 1.4 percent WASHINGTON (AP) – Retail sales rose more than expected in October due largely to a big rebound in auto sales. But broader consumer spending remains under pressure, raising questions about the durability of the recovery. Last month’s jump in sales also followed a dismal September retail performance that was revised even lower by the government, and
many analysts remain concerned about consumer demand going forward. “Against a background of high unemployment, low income growth and tight credit, it seems unlikely that households will be able to spend more freely anytime soon,” Paul Dales, U.S. economist at Capital Economics, wrote in a research note. The Commerce Department said Monday that re-
tail sales rose 1.4 percent last month. Economists surveyed by Thomson Reuters had expected a gain of 1 percent. On Wall Street, major stock indexes rose more than 1 percent in morning trading. The Dow Jones industrial average added more than 135 points. But excluding auto sales, retail demand rose 0.2 percent, half of the expected
0.4 percent rise. The government also revised the September results down to a 2.3 percent decline, from the 1.5 percent drop initially reported. The big swing in overall activity reflects the recent roller-coaster ride for auto sales, which surged in August thanks to Cash for Clunkers sales incentives before they plunged in September.
Fed keeps watch on dollar’s decline WASHINGTON (AP) – Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke on Monday said the central bank will keep a close eye on the sliding U.S. dollar even as he pledged anew to keep interest rates at record-lows to nurture the economic recovery.
In remarks to the Economic Club of New York, Bernanke engaged in a delicate dance. He made clear Fed policymakers will keep rates at super-low levels. Yet through his words, Bernanke is also trying to bolster confidence
in the dollar without actually raising rates, a move that could short-circuit the fragile recovery. “We are attentive to the implications of changes in the value of the dollar,” Bernanke said in rare remarks about the greenback. The

Fed, he said, will continue to “monitor these developments closely.” Although commodity prices have risen lately, that pickup likely reflects a revival in global economic activity and the recent depreciation of the dollar, he said.

Businesses slash inventories again WASHINGTON – Businesses slashed inventories for a 13th consecutive month in September although the pace of reductions slowed from the previous month. The Commerce Department said Monday that businesses reduced inventories 0.4 percent in September. That’s slightly better than the 0.7 percent drop economists expected and much improved from a 1.6 percent decline in August.
Oil rises on weak dollar, rising markets NEW YORK – After hitting their lowest level in a month, oil prices bounced back, past $78 Monday on the back of a weaker dollar and rising global stock markets. Benchmark crude for December delivery rose $2.02 to $78.37 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
United Technologies to buy GE business HARTFORD, Conn. – United Technologies Corp. said Thursday it will buy General Electric Co.’s fire detection and electronic security business for $1.82 billion.

Beazer CEO may face charges ATLANTA (AP) – Federal regulators have notified Beazer Homes USA Inc. that its top executive could face civil charges over incentive compensation. The notification comes more than a year after the Atlanta-based homebuilder settled a Securities and Exchange Commission investigation into its financial statements. Beazer Homes said in a regulatory filing Monday that SEC staff issued a so-called Wells notice to CEO Ian McCarthy. That means the staff intends to recommend civil charges against McCarthy for possible
securities violations. Recipients of the notices can respond to the allegations before the commission decides on any enforcement action. Beazer said McCarthy intends to respond to the notice, which is not a formal allegation nor a finding of wrongdoing. Beazer said the SEC staff recommended action against McCarthy “to collect certain incentive compensation and other amounts allegedly due” under the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002. The company’s filing did not disclose how much compensation is involved, or other details about the disputed pay.
Lowe’s sees profit fall, but signs of hope NEW YORK (AP) – Lowe’s Cos., the No. 2 home-improvement retailer, said Monday thirdquarter profit fell 30 percent as consumers worried about jobs and home values spent on smaller projects like painting but held back on larger jobs. Still, the company said some of the hardest-hit home markets are stabilizing and said it expects this year’s fourth quarter to be stronger than last year’s. CEO Robert Niblock said traffic was nearly flat compared with last year’s
third quarter, but higher than it was in this year’s second quarter. Average ticket size fell 7 percent. Stronger sellers included interior paint, appliances and flooring. “As the economy and the housing market continue through the bottoming and recovery process, we know there will be ongoing macroeconomic hurdles to cross including declining home values and rising unemployment,” Niblock said. “But we’re encouraged by the signs of stabilization we’re seeing in our business.”

AOL to log additional restructuring costs
AP
General Motors Corp. President and CEO Fritz Henderson speaks during a news conference at company headquarters in Detroit on Monday.
GM logs $1.2 billion loss DETROIT (AP) – General Motors Co. said Monday it lost $1.2 billion from the time it left bankruptcy protection through Sept. 30, far better than it has reported in previous quarters and a sign that the auto giant is starting to turn around its business. The company also said it will begin repaying $6.7 billion in U.S. government loans with a $1.2 billion payment in December. It plans to repay the
DILBERT
debt over the next eight quarters, but could pay it back as early as next year. But the money will come from funds loaned by the government. GM said its improved performance was fueled by new products including the Chevrolet Camaro muscle car, and the Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain midsize crossover vehicles. The company’s top sellers through October were the Chevrolet Silverado pickup
truck and Impala full-size car. The better showing also reflected lower debt payments. The automaker paid $250 million in interest for the latest period, far lower than the $1.1 billion it had to pay in the first quarter, before it went into bankruptcy protection. Before bankruptcy, GM was weighed down by a huge debt of almost $95 billion that has since been cut to $17 billion.
SAN FRANCISCO – New regulatory filings suggest many more layoffs could be coming at AOL LLC as the Internet company separates from Time Warner Inc. by the end of the year. In a Securities and Exchange Commission filing Thursday, Time Warner said AOL will log up to $200 million in “additional restructuring charges” from the date of the spinoff through the first half of 2010. A spinoff date has not been announced, but is planned for sometime during the current quarter. AOL said in a separate filing this week that the charges would be for restructuring to cut costs and streamline operations.
Intel to raise dividend 12.5% SANTA CLARA, Calif. – Intel Corp., the world’s biggest chip company, says it will raise its dividend by 12.5 percent starting next year. That brings its quarterly payment to 15.75 cents per share, up from 14 cents. The announcement comes despite heavy legal costs for Intel, which provides the microprocessors that run personal computers. The company said last week that it will pay rival Advanced Micro Devices Inc. $1.25 billion to settle claims that it used its market clout to elbow AMD out of the competition.
