Ashely Billings, in the Kmart electronics department, stocks shelves in anticipation of the shopping rush following Thanksgiving.

HIGH POINT – For Amy Spear, mother of a newborn baby, the deals she hopes to find on Black Friday are motivation enough to get her out of bed before sunrise on the day after Thanksgiving.

But for Sherry Burrow, the long lines and hectic crowds usually keep her

Scharla Browne bids a fond “bon voyage” to husband Allen at Piedmont Triad International Airport as he prepares to catch a flight.

Air travel remains light at PTIA, elsewhere

BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GREENSBORO – There were no long lines or mobs of people rushing to make their flights when Sylvia Branch arrived around noon at the Piedmont Triad International Airport on Wednesday.

Instead, a sleepy and peaceful terminal greeted Branch and the 10 family members she traveled with, including her husband, daughter and several grandchildren.

Branch said she was headed to a family reunion in Winston-Salem.

She said she had seen little to no crowding when she flew out of the San Antonio International Airport in Texas, and there was even less crowding at PTIA. “It’s been a lot less packed this year,” said Branch, who travels on Thanksgiving for the reunion once every three years. “We found travel today not as bad as we expected. I think a lot of people left (for the holiday) early this year.”

The quiet scene at the airport fell in line with predictions made

by AAA Carolinas, which estimated a 6.7 percent drop in air travel this year.

Mattie Ngom, from Madison, didn’t have to worry about holiday travel this year. Her family was coming to her. She waited with her mother at PTIA for her daughter-in-law, flying in from Cleveland. She said she stays at home most every Thanksgiving now, especially in today’s economic conditions.

“Because of the economy, we stay home,” she said. “We don’t have the money to travel, so we’re staying right here.”

Frequent flier miles were what brought Lydia and Herbert Falk, natives of Troy, Mich., to PTIA

the day before Thanksgiving.

“My husband has tons of frequent flier miles, and he flies all over the world,” Lydia said. “We flew out today so we wouldn’t get stuck in Thursday’s traffic.”

Branch said she and her family planned to stay until Sunday.

“This is our family’s fifth reunion in the past 15 years, and we look forward to it every year.”

In North Carolina, 1,167,000 will travel on the roads while 77,000 will travel by air, according to AAA Carolinas. phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

Event honors Baldwin’s legacy

BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – A Sunday event will honor the legacy of a key community leader who contributed to the development of High Point.

Rosetta C. Baldwin Day is planned as a tribute not only to the pioneering educator but also to her family and other African-Americans who are prominent figures in the city’s history.

“Both the city and the county

commissioners have proclaimed Nov. 29 as Rosetta C. Baldwin Day, and we have a lot of things we’re hoping to show the public as we continue to showcase African-American history in High Point,” said Julius Clark, founder and CEO of the Rosetta C. Baldwin Foundation, which oversees the Rosetta C. Baldwin Historical African American Museum in High Point. “It’s going to be an educational event.”

Yalik’s Modern Art in High Point will host an art exhibit featuring paintings, textile art and

sculptures by local artists at the Rosetta C. Baldwin Educational Center. One of the artists participating will be Meltonia “Lindiwi” Young, who will do a presentation featuring stories about the Underground Railroad.

The presentation involves the use of slides of images related to the network that shepherded slaves to freedom during the 19th century, said Phyllis Bridges of Yalik’s Modern Art. “We’re going to have local artists present to showcase their art and hopefully invite young people

to show their interest in art and cultivate their interest in art,” Clark said.

Sunday’s event also features tours of the museum that bears the name of Baldwin, a pioneer in Christian-based education for African-American children in High Point.

Rosetta C. Baldwin Day is scheduled 2 to 6 p.m. Sunday at the Rosetta C. Baldwin Educational Center, 1202 Leonard Ave. Admission is free. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

Perdue requests disaster aid for coastal county RALEIGH (AP) – Gov. Beverly Perdue has requested federal assistance for homeowners and businesses affected by a nor’eastern that lashed the North Carolina coast.

Perdue is seeking funding for Dare County, where there was major damage. If approved, the declaration will make low-interest loans available to help eligible property owners make repairs. Also eligible will be Currituck, Hyde and Tyrrell counties.

Between Nov. 10-15, a nor’easter spawned from the remnants of Tropical Storm Ida swept through across coastal North Carolina. The most severe damage was found in Dare County, where a survey found several homes and business having sustained major damage.

An SBA disaster declaration would enable eligible citizens to apply for low interest home and personal property loans to pay for repairs and loss of inventory or other business capital.

I’ve seen more advertisements for them this year than ever before.”

Retailers began offering what they refer to as Black Friday deals about a month ago to gain consumer’s attention as sales continued to decline.

Some shoppers have noticed.

Winnie Luckett, who browsed sales on Tuesday in Kmart, said venturing out on Black Friday had proved to be successful for her in the past.

“I will go out that day, but not really early,” she said. “To me, it has always been worth it. To my husband, it hasn’t really.”

Her husband, Jay, was laid off from his job as a truck driver, she said. As a result, the two will be spending less money on gifts and holiday shop-

Man charged with rash of break-ins

BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Police announced this week they have charged a local man with carrying out a rash of home break-ins in north High Point neighborhoods.

Antione Dwight Powers, 20, of Walden Lane, faces 18 felonious counts of breaking and entering and larceny after breaking and entering, as well as other charges in connection with incidents in September and October in the Laurel Springs and Laurel Oaks subdivisions, according to High Point police.

During their investiga-

tion into the breakins, property crimes detectives noted similarities bePowers tween the incidents, which occurred primarily during daytime hours and involved the same types of items stolen from residences, such as laptop computers and other types of electronics, as well as jewelry.

Police said the pattern of activity in the neighborhoods stopped after Powers’ Oct. 10 arrest. He was jailed under a $2,500 bond and, during the four days in which he was jailed, no

break-ins were reported in the neighborhoods. Both subdivisions saw breakins resume, however, when Powers posted bond four days after his arrest, police said.

Shortly thereafter, detectives were able to obtain additional arrest warrants for Powers, who was apprehended Oct. 21. Police said he eluded arrest by hiding from officers, but was located a short time later in the 100 block of Woodvalley Court.

“The burglaries in these two neighborhoods have stopped since Powers’ arrest,” police said. “During Powers’ crime spree in September and October, he was out on bond from

burglary cases from his arrest on March 12, 2009, for his involvement in a rash of home burglaries that occurred in and around the Garden Club subdivision.”

In addition to break-in and theft charges, Powers was charged with one count of second-degree burglary, three counts of obtaining property by false pretenses, one count of breaking and entering a motor vehicle and one count of damage to personal property, police said.

He remained in the Guilford County Jail in High Point Wednesday under a $156,000 bond. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

Four teens linked to armed robbery DAVIDSON COUNTY – Four Winston-Salem teens have been arrested by the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office in connection to an armed robbery in Davidson County.

On Tuesday, the sheriff’s office received a call from the WinstonSalem Police Depart-

ment in regard to armed robberies occurring in the Winston-Salem city limits. Shortly after the call from Winston-Salem police, the sheriff’s office responded to an armed robbery around the area N.C. 150 of Davidson County. Deputies located a vehicle matching the description from Winston-Salem police and the robbery that

occurred in Davidson County.

Deputies stopped a vehicle and two suspects were apprehended after a short foot chase. After about a two-hour ground search, two additional suspects also were apprehended by deputies in the area of Friedberg Church Road.

ping than they have in recent years. Joan Allen shopped with her daughter-in-law at Target days before Black Friday arrived to get a head start on finding Christmas gifts. Originally from Michigan, Allen is visiting her family in High Point until next week. But it doesn’t matter where she is, she said. Like Burrows, who also got a head start on Christmas shopping at Kmart, Allen said she would never go out on Black Friday.

“It’s too hectic and too crowded,” she said. “I have always avoided the crowds and chaos. That’s why we chose to shop before that day.”

She said she went to Target to get items on her grandchildren’s wish list, which include popular electronics and game consoles, but the family will be spending slightly less on gifts this year than it did last year.

“We are trying to keep an eye on the economy and where things are going,” she said.

The visit was heralded by the Indian media, which on Wednesday was awash with descriptions of Singh’s welcome.

India basks in lavish White House welcome

MUMBAI, India (AP) – On the eve of the first anniversary of the deadly terror attacks that paralyzed Mumbai for 60 terrifying hours, groups around the city held vigils Wednesday, calling for police reform and painting murals to remember the 166 killed.

On Nov. 26, ten Pakistanbased gunmen fanned out across the Indian financial capital, shooting up luxury hotels, a major train station and other sites, as police and military struggled for nearly three days to regain control.

Two non-governmental groups gathered about 100 people to paint a stretch of wall in south Mumbai, where the attacks were focused. “We want to make sure 26-11 is not just forgotten,� said Shaina NC, one of the organizers.

Schoolgirls left red hand prints on the yellow wall.

Someone painted “I (heart symbol) Mumbai� in big black letters. A man left the words “Wake up govt� in drippy red paint. A woman in a black chador wrote in small block letters: “We forget what they were dying for.�

Proclamation of Thanksgiving P

resident Lincoln declared Thanksgiving a federal holiday as a “prayerful day of Thanksgiving” on the last Thursday in November. Since then, every U.S. president has always made an official Thanksgiving Proclamation on behalf of the nation. President Franklin D. Roosevelt set the date for Thanksgiving to the fourth Thursday of November in 1939 (approved by Congress in 1941).

Here is Lincoln’s proclamation:

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. A PROCLAMATION.

The year that is drawing towards its close, has been filled with the blessings of fruitful fields and healthful skies. To these bounties, which are so constantly enjoyed that we are prone to forget the source from which they come, others have been added, which are of so extraordinary a nature, that they cannot fail to penetrate and soften even the heart which is habitually insensible to the ever watchful providence of Almighty God. In the midst of a civil war of unequaled magnitude and severity, which has sometimes seemed to foreign States to invite and to provoke their aggression, peace has been preserved with all nations, order has been maintained, the laws have been respected and obeyed, and harmony has prevailed everywhere except in the theater of military conflict; while that theater has been greatly contracted by the advancing armies and navies of the Union.

Needful diversions of wealth and of strength from the fields of peaceful industry to the national defense, have not arrested the plough, the shuttle or the ship; the axe has enlarged the borders of our settlements, and the mines, as well of iron and coal as of the precious metals, have yielded even more abundantly than heretofore. Population has steadily increased, notwithstanding the waste that has been made in the camp, the siege and the battlefield; and the country, rejoicing in the consciousness of augmented strength and vigor, is permitted to expect continuance of years with large increase of freedom. No human counsel hath devised nor hath any mortal hand worked out these great things. They are the gracious gifts of the Most High God, who, while dealing with us in anger for our sins, hath nevertheless remembered mercy. It has seemed to me fit and proper that they should be solemnly, reverently and gratefully acknowledged as with one heart and one voice by the whole American People. I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next, as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens.

And I recommend to them that while offering up the ascriptions justly due to Him for such singular deliverances and blessings, they do also, with humble penitence for our national perverseness and disobedience, commend to His tender care all those who have become widows, orphans, mourners or sufferers in the lamentable civil strife in which we are unavoidably engaged, and fervently implore the interposition of the Almighty Hand to heal the wounds of the nation and to restore it as soon as may be consistent with the Divine purposes to the full enjoyment of peace, harmony, tranquillity and Union.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the United States to be affixed, Done at the city of Washington, this Third day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, and of the Independence of the United States the Eighty-eighth.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN By the President: WILLIAM H. SEWARD, Secretary of State

October of 1777 marked the first time that all 13 colonies joined in a Thanksgiving Celebration.

The Rev. Samuel Francis Smith in 1832 wrote the beautiful, “America” – My country ’tis of thee, sweet land of Liberty, of thee I sing, land where my Fathers died, land of the Pilgrim’s pride, from every mountain side let freedom ring.”

Then in the year of 1863, President Lincoln proclaimed the last Thursday in November as a national day of Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving is a day of Celebration for family and friends. Turkey and pumpkin is a tradition along with other tasty foods. America is a land of abundance compared to most countries around the world. A time for thankfulness, we take inventory of our many possessions.

derful book, “Words of Gratitude for Mind, Body, and Soul,â€? authors Robert A. Emmons, Joanna V. Hill & Brother David Steindl-Rast observe that “Gratitude is ‌ more than a feeling, a virtue, or an experience; gratitude emerges as an attitude we can freely choose in order to create a better life for ourselves and for others.â€?

Taking the time to truly consider that for which we are grateful creates a fundamentally enduring perspective that reaches beyond mere politeness; it helps improve emotional and physical health and strengthens communal bonds.

Not surprisingly, the concept of cultivating

gratitude is deeply rooted in most religious traditions.

In Judaism and Islam, gratitude in the form of prayer forms an essential part of the religious experience. In the Buddhist tradition, mediation is used to help people experience gratitude.

In the Christian tradition, the story of Christ forms a powerful trope on gratitude.

Christ sought a moral frame of reference that was quite beyond the selfish and materialistic concerns of society. He urged his followers to give away their possessions, live as servants and practice selfless acts of charity and love. He taught that

Even as they tore at his flesh, Christ acted without malice. His example teaches us that genuine religion means purging the ego and removing oneself from boorishness in order to experience genuine gratitude.

hanksgiving is traditionally a time and place once again to gather with family, enjoy the sweet aromas of turkey and cranberries, and to remember all the things for which you are grateful. With the recent economic downturn, many people will have their holiday darkened by financial crisis.

Families that traditionally host a lavish Thanksgiving dinner may have to cut back. Others who visit their families during the holidays may not be able to afford the costs of travel. Other families no longer may have a home to celebrate in. The housing crisis in this country now is impacting families that once thought they were immune to this Great Recession.

According to a recent report released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, nearly 50 million people – including almost one child in four – struggled to get enough to eat in 2007. That report indicates the highest number of Americans lacking food since the government began tracking the nation’s food supply.

Particularly hard hit were families with children. According to the report, the number of children lacking dependable food sources catapulted from 700,000 to almost 1.1 million last year.

Look around: This year, the holiday season will be marked by long lines

Turkey treats President Barack Obama stands next to his mother-in-law Marian Robinson (right) and daughter Sasha and first lady Michelle Obama as they pack food for Thanksgiving at Martha’s Table, a food pantry in Washington Wednesday.

Obama to give national address on Afghanistan mission Tuesday WASHINGTON (AP) – President Barack Obama will announce his plan to bolster the war in Afghanistan in a speech Tuesday night from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, his spokesman said, a surge that military officials say could top 30,000 troops.

The president promised this week to “finish the job” begun eight years ago, and press secretary Robert Gibbs said Wednesday the announcement would include an exit strategy.

But the surge in troops would be Obama’s second since taking office, and liberal Democrats already are lining up against it, in part because of the also-

surging cost – up to $75 billion a year.

Gibbs said Obama’s recent meetings with military advisers have often focused on how to train Afghanistan’s police and army to secure and hold areas taken from the Taliban so that U.S. forces can leave. “We are not going to be there another eight or nine years,” he said.

Incompetence and corruption in the Afghan government have aided a rise in the Taliban’s strength.

The military strategy is expected to include specific dates that deployments could be slowed or stopped if necessary, a senior military official

said. The official and others spoke on condition of anonymity because the decision was not final.

Obama will be speaking to a war-weary American public. Polls show support for the war has dropped significantly since Obama took office, with a majority now saying both that they oppose the war and that it is not worth fighting.

The president and his top military and national security advisers have held 10 meetings to discuss America’s future steps in Afghanistan. The top general in Afghanistan, Stanley McChrystal, has asked the president for about 40,000 troops.

Davidson amends pay policy

WHO’S NEWS

----

BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

DAVIDSON COUNTY – Davidson County employees will have the option of taking a personal day without pay around the holidays next month.

At its regular monthly meeting Tuesday night, the Davidson County Board of Commissioners agreed to give employees the option of taking the furlough.

“To the benefit of the county and the benefit of the employee, we allowed them the option if they wanted to take a voluntary leave day, a furlough day,” said Zeb Hanner Jr., the county’s assistant manager. “It’s not mandatory, but it gives them the option and also saves the county a little money.”

County Manager Robert Hyatt said this week that county employees, depending on which day Christmas falls on, usually get three days paid vacation. This year, however, Christmas falls on Friday, which allows county employees to have two days off with pay – Dec. 24 and Dec. 25.

County officials have said Davidson County is in good financial shape, but the furlough day was being offered to allow employees to have time around the holidays with their families and save the county some money at the same time.

Under the plan, county employees will be able to take off one personal day without pay between Dec. 21 and Jan. 1, 2010.

Jim Tysinger, the county’s human resources director, said in a memo to Hyatt that the option is not only a proactive step in saving the county money, but “it affords the individual employee the ability to decide whether or not they want to take a day off without pay.”

County officials say the plan will allow each department head the authority to manage which days their employees take off without pay, as well as the number of staff approved for each particular day. In a memo, Tysinger said the plan will allow the department head the ability to schedule their employees in a way that prevents a hardship on the department, the other staff and prevents a noticeable reduction in customer service. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

Day is mixed bag for some. 1A

BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – After sustaining a steep drop in sales this year, retailers are taking a deep breath and holding it until the anticipated Black Friday rolls around.

When they release a long sigh at the end of the busiest shopping day of the year, they’re hoping it will be a sigh of relief.

“We’re hoping to be stable with last year, but we always want to do better than last year,” said Robert Hayes, store manager for Kmart at 2850 S.

Main St. Major retailers aren’t expecting a huge decline from last year as the National Retail Federation predicted a 1 percent decline in holiday sales this year, compared to last year’s 3.4 percent drop. It may not be great news, but it could be worse in light of economic conditions, Hayes said.

“Televisions and navigation systems have gone down in price,” he said. “Game consoles have gone down in price, and they’re more abundant. We expect those items to sell well on Friday.”

Gadgets and electronics have been in-demand items in the past, but Oak Hollow Mall manager Vickee Armstrong said the economy may cause shoppers to turn back to the basics.

“Electronics have been the big buzzword in recent years,”

she said. “This season, I think people are going to look back at necessity items.”

Joe Harmon, sales floor executive at Target, said electronics are important, but the store also hopes to sell a lot of seasonal clothing when it opens at 5 a.m. Friday.

With anchor stores opening at 4 a.m. and other stores opening at 6 a.m. at the mall, Armstrong said she is expecting a “healthy day of sales,” compared to the past few Black Fridays.

“In the past three weeks, we have seen a slight uptick,” she said. “Because our anchor stores have been very strategic in their sales positioning for the season with early Black Friday sales, we are seeing a good traffic stream.”

HIGH POINT – The sport management program at High Point University is moving to the Phillips School of Business to offer students studies for business careers in athletics.

The program not only will be moved from the College of Arts and Science, but it also will become a minor in the business school. The move will be official in August 2010.

The university plans to focus on science-related programs in the Department of Exercise Science and Athletic Training.

“We made the decision to move sport man-

agement to the Phillips School of Business because this was a logical fit with regard to the content of our curriculum,” said Dennis Carroll, HPU provost and vice president for academic affairs.

Courses in the new sport management minor include core classes that originally were part of the sport management major.

“The prestige of having the program in the Phillips School of Business will also provide an opportunity to make the students more marketable after graduation,” said Jenny Lukow, associate professor and sport management undergraduate coordinator.

Students with the sports management minor could seek jobs in a variety of sports settings: professional sports, intercollegiate athletics, sport facility management, corporate wellness, high school athletics, private sport clubs, sport marketing firms, military recreation and campus recreation.

“This is a very exciting opportunity for students, and many have already decided to take advantage of this curriculum change,” Lukow said.

Students also will have the flexibility to add an additional minor, such as marketing or communication, Lukow said.

Now there are three

Answer: When you dig the hole for your tulips, you might set either a small wire or plastic mesh basket or cage in the hole first. Then put your tulip bulbs in the basket/cage and fill in the hole. The mesh basket/ cage should stop critters from getting to the bulbs from the bottom or sides.

The tulip roots should be able to grow fine through the mesh. Voles tend to be the culprit. The use of vole block, a small gravel material will also help with drainage, and the voles do not appear to like digging through gravel.

If you suspect voles, the use of mouse traps baited with peanut butter and apple pieces placed under old flower pots so that these critters can feed without being seen might be advisable. These rodents will feed on the root system of a number of landscape plants.

For more information on voles go to www.ces. ncsu.edu/nreos/wild/ pdf/wildlife/voles.pdf.

Bulbs that develop

stunted, yellowed leaves or fail to emerge in the spring may also be suffering from bulb rot.

Cool, soggy conditions can favor infection by certain soil-borne plant pathogens. Several different fungi and bacteria may infect bulb tissue.

Extended periods of wet weather favor infection.

Diagnosis of below-ground problems involves hands-on investigation. Symptomatic plants need to be dug and examined. Diseased bulbs usually are discolored, soft, and may emit a foul odor. In some cases, there may be a black or bluish mold on the bulbs.

Diseased bulbs should be discarded, along with some of the surrounding soil. The best way to prevent the occurrence of bulb rot is to make sure the planting site is prepared so it will be well drained. Avoid planting in areas that are poorly drained or that collect water.

Q

uestion: Help. I planted my favorite bulb, tulips, in years past only to have something eat them before they come up. I would like to plant these again, but is there something I can do to protect them?

When should you discontinue pap smears?

D

ear Dr. Donohue: I am 63 and have had a Pap smear every year for as long as I can remember. How long do I have to continue? I am embarrassed to admit it, but I don’t really know why this test is done. I do know that it has something to do with cancer, but that’s the extent of it.

– K.S.

BLONDIE

Pap smears – named after the pathologist Dr. George Papanicolaou – are taken to detect early cervical cancer. The cervix is the funnel-shaped, lowermost portion of the uterus. It projects into the vagina. At one time, cervical cancer was the leading cause of female cancer deaths. Since the introduction of Pap smear screening, its death rate has been cut in half. This year, about 11,000 new cases of cervical cancer will occur in the United States and a number comparable to its population in Canada.

Papillomaviruses cause this cancer. The new vaccine Gardasil, developed to prevent papillomavirus infection, will further reduce the number of cervical cancer cases. The vaccine affords protection against the viruses responsible for 70 percent of cervical cancers.

The age at which it’s safe for women to stop having Pap smears varies according to different expert panels. Women who have never been screened should be, regardless of their age. At age 70, if a woman has had three consecutive normal

tests in the previous 10 years, many experts say she no longer needs to undergo HEALTH testing.

The United Dr. Paul States PreDonohue ventive ■■■ Services Task Force, another group of experts, states that a woman can stop testing at age 65 if she fulfills the same requirements.

Women who have had a hysterectomy and have had their cervix removed do not need to continue to have Pap smears.

The pamphlet on cervical cancer and Pap smears provides more information on these topics.

Dear Dr. Donohue: Please explain a varicocele. My 48-year-old son was just diagnosed with one. – L.H. A varicocele (VAIR-uhkoe-SEAL) is a tangle of dilated veins in the scrotum. It’s very much like varicose leg veins.

A varicocele might cause achy pain. There is a question about its role in contributing to infertility. If neither of these applies, then the vari-

cocele can be ignored.

Varicoceles that are painful or suspected of influencing fertility can be removed surgically.

The operation is not an involved one, and recuperation is quick.

Dear Dr. Donohue: My mother is 80 and usually in good health, but she often feels tired and complains of generally not feeling well. When she goes to the doctor, she often states that she feels her doctor is in a hurry and doesn’t listen to all she has to say.

I have recommended that she consider changing to a geriatric specialist, who, I have been told, allows more time for office visits. I assume that such a specialist is more versed on matters pertaining to the treatment of seniors.

Would you share your thoughts on what might be the advantages of someone my mother’s age having a geriatric specialist as her primary physician? – R.C. Children have a different physiology and a different set of illnesses than adults. That’s why the specialty of pediatrics developed. Older people also have a unique physiology and a unique set of illnesses. That’s the reason for the field of geriatrics.

I know your mother needs a change of doctors. She needs a doctor who will listen to her. A geriatric doctor would be a good choice for someone her age.

Smith’s light sparks Wake

WHO’S NEWS

---

I

n a humorous early-season moment, Ish Smith rose into the air at the Greensboro Coliseum and slammed home a dunk that tripped the red lights outlining the backboard.

The lights stayed on for several minutes before finally being fixed during the win over East Carolina.

Luckily for Wake Forest, the light came on for its point guard a long time ago and continues to burn brightly. Smith realized his role of floor general as a freshman and continues making the Demon Deacons go in his final season.

“I think what makes a special point guard ‘special’ is he has a knack of knowing when to pass and when to shoot,” Smith SPORTS reasoned. “It’s not to say I’m going to pass more or I’m going Steve to shoot more. It’s just making Hanf that right decision every time.”

■■■ More often than not, he’s made the right call. Smith entered the season ranked seventh on Wake’s all-time assists chart with 427 and should end his career no worse than fourth behind Mugsy Bogues (781), Skip Brown (579) and Derrick McQueen (575). An especially strong season – or one that lasts deep into March – could land Smith No. 2 on the charts. He did, after all, dish 186 assists in his league-leading effort as a freshman.

The learning curve was steep for a player going from Concord’s Central Cabarrus High School to the Atlantic Coast Conference.

Thrown immediately into the fire, Smith started 30 games that rookie season and picked up 112 turnovers to go with all those helpers.

Still, it was hard for coaches Skip Prosser and Dino Gaudio to get too frustrated with such an explosive talent. Smith capped his first year with a 15-assist game against Georgia Tech in the ACC Tournament.

“We all know that in 50-plus years there’ve been great point guards in the ACC, from Phil Ford to Kenny Anderson to Chris Paul and the other 20 I haven’t mentioned,” Gaudio said. “He has the ACC Tournament record for assists in a game. He’s made big shots, he’s won games. It’s incredibly comfortable to have him leading the team.”

That comfort level stems from Smith’s growth. As a sophomore, he started all 30 games, played a team-high 32.1 minutes per contest and made last-second game-winning shots against Virginia Tech and Miami.

Smith also saw his turnover numbers drop dramatically (84) while the assists kept coming at a pace of 4.7 per game.

As well as he played those first two seasons, though, Smith said last year was his best at Wake Forest.

The season didn’t exactly get off to a riproaring start. In September, Smith fractured a bone in his left foot, keeping him out of preseason workouts and the first two games.

When he finally returned, Jeff Teague, James Johnson and Al-Farouq Aminu were lighting it up for a team that would start 16-0.

Teague would end up leading the Deacons in assists with 110 while Smith’s minutes dropped to 22 per game. But as the year came to a close, Smith picked up the pace in a major way. He scored in double figures in seven of his last nine contests, tallied eight

Notre Dame quarterback Jimmy Clausen was sporting a black eye behind the tinted visor he wore to practice Tuesday.

According to a university official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak about the matter, Clausen was punched outside a South Bend bar early Sunday morning.

Athletic director Jack Swarbrick said Clausen was the “victim of a sucker punch.”

Clausen was at C.J.’s Pub about 2 a.m. with his family and girlfriend after Notre Dame’s double overtime loss to Connecticut, according to the official. Coach Charlie Weis declined to talk about the dustup other than to say Clausen would practice this week and start Saturday against Stanford (7-4).

Wake Forest’s Ish Smith (10) drives past High Point’s David Singleton during the second half of the Demon Deacons’ 83-60 win on Nov. 18. Smith fuels Wake’s attack from the point guard spot. assists against Georgia Tech and six more vs.

Clemson in the ACC Tournament on his way to 100 for the season, and gained even more confidence for his senior season.

“The last 10, 11 games, what I did was I took the role and tried to be more aggressive. I learned a lot from Jeff,” Smith explained. “I watched him and he was always aggressive, kept the defense back on their heels, and he always had scoring opportunities for our team.”

With Teague now toiling for the Atlanta Hawks and Johnson running with the Chicago Bulls, the team clearly belongs to Smith.

Aminu, the high-flying sophomore, leads all

scorers at more than 20 points per game, but Smith is second in scoring, tops in assists and No. 1 in minutes played.

Under his watch, the Deacons are off to a 4-0 start with plans to enjoy far more success than their No. 6 spot in the preseason ACC poll.

“I think he’s as good a point guard as there is in the ACC,” Gaudio praised. “I told him, ‘Ish, I have all the confidence in you in the world. I’ll give you the ball at 8 o’clock at night, you give it back to me at 10.’ ” You know – when the lights go out. shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

HIT AND RUN

H

appy Thanksgiving, everyone. Here’s hoping y’all enjoy a warm and loving holiday filled with time for family, friends and food.

The menu for many folks will include turkey, dressing, cranberry sauce and corn.

That last item reminds me of a High Pointer who’s devoted plenty of quality time to his beloved N.C. State football team.

Dewey Corn, 86, has attended 400 consecu-

tive Wolfpack football games. He’ll make it 401 when the Pack plays host to arch-rival North Carolina on Saturday at noon.

Corn’s streak started on Nov. 8, 1975 and has included every home game, road game and bowl game since.

Last Saturday, Corn was honored at Carter-Finley Stadium for his Ripken-esque streak.

The lifelong Wolfpack fan first attended

a Wolfpack football game in 1946 as an N.C. State student fresh out of the U.S. Navy.

Corn, a retired High Point insurance agency owner, and his wife Christine have been married 63 years. That’s another streak well worth celebrating.

Well done, sir.

Wakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s women pull away from pesky Panthers SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

WINSTON-SALEM â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Junior Amy Dodd scored 15 points, including 11 in the second half, and had four steals as the High Point University womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball fell to Wake Forest 76-52 on Wednesday afternoon.

The Panthers (2-2) trailed by just eight with about eight minutes remaining before the Demon Deacons pulled away for the win.

Freshman Sandra Garcia powered the Demon Deacons with 27 points and 16 rebounds. Camille Collier put up 15 points and a career-high 13 rebounds, while Brittany Waters also added 19 points and six rebounds for Wake (5-0). â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought we started sluggish and we werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ready to play at the level Wake

Forest plays at,â&#x20AC;? said HPU head coach Tooey Loy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once we got going though, we were very good. We gave Wake Forest a scare.

We cut the lead to eight with about eight minutes to play. We played about Garcia 25 minutes of good basketball but to compete against a team like this you need to play 40 minutes. We will take a lot of good things from this but are still discouraged about the loss.â&#x20AC;?

HPU shot 38.9 percent (21-54) in the game and were just 2-12 from behind the arc. The Demon Deacons shot 44.4 percent (28-63) including a 6-12 mark from three-point range.

HPU senior Ashleeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Samuels set new season highs with nine points and a

team-best six rebounds and juniors Mackenzie Maier and LaTeisha Dean each added seven points for High Point in the loss. WFU controlled the glass in the game, outrebounding the Panthers 50-23.

Wake jumped out to an early 9-2 lead as HPU struggled to execute its offense against a physical Demon Deacon defense. The Panthersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lone basket in the opening minutes came off a steal and layup by Dodd on a WFU inbounds attempt.

With HPU trailing 12-4, Maier scored five straight points with a three and a long jumper and Dodd added a layup to draw the Panthers to within one, 12-11.

Wake responded to the HPU burst with a 22-7 run of its own to open a 16-point lead, 34-18, with one minute remaining

in the half. High Point scored the final four points of the half with a layup by sophomore Shamia Brown and a jumper by freshman Erin Reynolds, but the Panthers trailed 34-22 at halftime.

A jumper and free throw by junior Frances Fields trimmed the WFU lead to six, 34-28, before six straight points by the Demon Deacons built the lead back to 12.

The teams traded baskets over the next eight minutes as the Wake Forest lead fluctuated from eight to 12 points. Dodd scored eight points while also grabbing two steals and Samuels added six points down low as the Panthers continued to hang around.

With seven minutes remaining, the Deacons finally pulled away, finishing the game on a 20-4 run.

Bohannon sparks Badgers past Terps LAHAINA, Hawaii (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Jason Bohannon scored 20 points and Jon Leuer added 16 to lead Wisconsin to a 78-69 win over No. 21 Maryland in the third-place game of the Maui Invitational on Wednesday at the Lahaina Civic Center.

Trevon Hughes scored 14 points for the Badgers (4-1), who made 10 of 22 3-pointers, including four from Bohannon. Greivis Vasquez led Maryland (4-2) with 18 points.

Maryland scored the first seven points before Wisconsin answered

with a 16-2 run to take a 16-9 lead with 11:59 left in the first half. Wisconsin stretched the lead to 37-27 at halftime.

Maryland got within 51-48 with just over 10 minutes remaining, but got no closer.

Bishopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s swimmers make big splash ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORTS

SWIMMING BISHOP GIRLS, BOYS WIN KERNERSVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Bishop McGuinnessâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; girls and boys posted tri-meet victories on Wednesday.

The Villain girls won with 119 points, followed by East Surry at 110 and West Stokes at 68. Bishopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boys prevailed with 149 points, fol-

lowed by West with 91 and East with 12.

Winners for Bishopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s girls were Rose Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Shea in the 50 free in 27.63; Tory Bowers in the 500 free in 5:43.72 and the 200 medley relay in 2:10.55.

For Bishopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boys, Patrick Davidson won two events â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the 200 free in 2:00.62 and the 100 breast in 1:08.22.

Sean Spillane also took two wins for the Villains, capturing the 200

IM in 2:17.76 and the 100 back in 1:08.22. Sam Mills claimed the 100 fly in 1:00.38 and the 500 free in 5:24.05 to add to the Villainsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; victory parade.

Andruw Jones agrees to deal with White Sox CHICAGO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Andruw Jones agreed Wednesday to a $500,000, one-year contract with the Chicago White Sox. Jones hit .214 with 17 homers and 43 RBIs in 82 games with Texas this year while making 53 starts as the designated hitter, 12 in left field, five in right field and four at first base.

A five-time All-Star who has slumped in recent years, Jones was released by the Los Angeles Dodgers in January and signed with the Rangers the following month.

He agreed to a $36.2 million, two-year contract with Los Angeles in December 2007. Now 32, he can make an additional $1 million in performance bonuses under his agreement with the White Sox.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is an opportunity to add a power bat to the roster while improving our outfield depth,â&#x20AC;? White Sox general manager Kenny Williams said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the addition of Andruw, Mark Kotsay and Omar Vizquel, we feel our bench is taking shape to be a strong asset heading into the 2010 season.â&#x20AC;?

Vizquel, a 42-year-old infielder, agreed Monday to a oneyear deal. Earlier, the White Sox re-signed Kotsay, another utility player who can play the infield and outfield.

Jones is a career .257 hitter with 388 homers and 1,174 RBIs. He earned Gold Gloves in his final 10 seasons with Atlanta while playing for the Braves from 1996-07 and has seven seasons of at least 30 homers, including a career-high 51 in 2005. He has also had five 100-RBI seasons.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Chad Knaus believes he and Jimmie Johnson can continue to add to their championship total for years to come.

But the crew chief first needs a new contract.

Knaus on Wednesday denied an ESPN report that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agreed to lead Johnson through 2015, the length of Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new contract extension with Hendrick Motorsports.

Knaus, who has guided Johnson to four straight titles and 47 victories since 2002, is still working under an extension signed in 2006 that runs through next season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve only started very light conversations,â&#x20AC;?

Knaus said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a new contract, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve barely had enough conversation for me to agree to anything.â&#x20AC;?

Although Knaus said it is his intention to stay

with Hendrick Motorsports, â&#x20AC;&#x153;you never know what will happen. There are so many what-ifs.â&#x20AC;?

Knaus began his NASCAR career with Hendrick in 1993 as an original member of Jeff Gordonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rainbow Warriorsâ&#x20AC;? crew. He began as an assistant in the body shop, worked his way into the fabrication department and eventually was put in charge of the body development for Gordonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s car. He was a tire changer on Gordonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1995 and 1997 teams.

Knaus left Hendrick after the 1997 season to try to advance his career, working at Dale Earnhardt Inc. as the car chief for Steve Park, then for Ray Evernham when he left Hendrick to start his own race team.

He spent one season as crew chief for Stacy Compton at Melling Racing.

Bengals’ Benson might play against Browns CINCINNATI (AP) – Even if Cedric Benson is able to play Sunday against Cleveland, he’s going to have a lot of company in the Cincinnati Bengals’ running game.

Benson returned to practice Wednesday, going through a limited workout because of his sprained hip muscles.

The injury kept him out of a 20-17 loss at Oakland. Rookie backup Bernard Scott is expected to get a lot of carries against Cleveland, even if Benson is able to play.

Larry Johnson also could see more time on the field in his second game since he signed with Cincinnati.

Scott, a sixth-round draft pick from Abilene Christian, has emerged in the last two games.

He returned a kickoff 96 yards for the only touchdown during an 18-12 win in Pittsburgh. He also kept the running game going after Benson hurt his hip during the game, carrying 13 times for 33 yards.

In Oakland, he ran 21 times for 119 yards. The 21 carries were only eight shy of his total for the first nine games.

The Bengals (7-3) lead the AFC North by a game over Pittsburgh and will be trying to run the table in division games when they play Cleveland.

Cards’ Warner practices, expects to play Sunday TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) – Arizona quarterback Kurt Warner went through a full practice on Wednesday and says he expects to play Sunday at Tennessee.

Warner says he passed the required mental tests on Tuesday after sustaining a concussion in last Sunday’s 2113 victory at St. Louis.

He says he plans to be cautious as he prepares through the week but as of Wednesday all signs were good that he would make his 42nd consecutive NFL start.

The 38-year-old quarterback’s head slammed into the turf on a hit from Rams safety O.J. Atogwe in the second quarter. He stayed in the game to complete the touchdown drive that put Arizona up 213, then left for good.

Hoover, Godfrey return to practice for Panthers CHARLOTTE (AP) – Carolina fullback Brad Hoover and safety Charles Godfrey have returned to practice following injuries, but the Panthers remain depleted at linebacker.

Hoover has missed the past three games with a high ankle sprain, while Godfrey has sat out four with a sprained ankle. Both practiced in full Wednesday and are expected to play Sunday at the New York Jets.

But Panthers starting strongside linebacker Na’il Diggs missed practice with a sore rib, a day after weakside linebacker Landon Johnson was placed on injured reserve with a knee injury. Johnson had been starting for Thomas Davis, who is out for the season with a torn knee ligament.

The injuries could leave James Anderson and Dan Connor starting opposite middle linebacker Jon Beason.

AP

Dallas quarterback Tony Romo (9) lifts himself off the ground after making a tackle on Washington cornerback DeAngelo Hall (rear), who recovered a Cowboys fumble in the first half of Sunday’s game in Arlington, Texas. Romo’s back is still sore after suffering an injury in Dallas’ 7-6 win over the Redskins, but the Cowboys’ QB expects to play today when the Raiders visit for a Thanksgiving Day showdown.

Longtime Cowboys star Ellis back for Thanksgiving IRVING, Texas (AP) – Greg Ellis spent the last few years bracing for his release from the Dallas Cowboys. So when it happened in June, it didn’t sting too badly.

He even started looking at the bright side – like finally getting to spend Thanksgiving with his family after 11 years of playing on the holiday.

Then he signed with the Oakland Raiders and Al Davis broke the news to him.

“Greg,” Davis said, “guess who you are going to play on Thanksgiving?”

“My wife was not too happy about that,” Ellis said, chuckling. “She was like, ‘Man, you leave Dallas and you STILL have to miss Thanksgiving with us?!’”

Ellis and the Raiders (3-7) have the chance to jump-start a season that’s already included a pair

of three-game losing streaks.

However, they are 1-0 under new starting quarterback Bruce Gradkowski, having beaten division-leading Cincinnati this past Sunday. Now they have a chance to knock off another division leader.

Dallas (7-3) is vulnerable, too.

The Cowboys have been shut out over the first three quarters in their last two games, a loss at Green Bay and a 7-6 win at home over Washington. Quarterback Tony Romo was kneed in the back by the Redskins and is still sore. He also might be without his favorite target, tight end Jason Witten, questionable with a sprained left foot.

And, with Ellis now playing for the Raiders, the Cowboys will be facing a guy who knows all their favorite tricks.

“He’s done a good job for them,” Romo said. “He looks good on tape.”

Ellis was the player Dallas took instead of Randy Moss in the first round of the 1998 draft. While never dominant, he was always among the club’s sack leaders, first as a defensive end, then after being moved to outside linebacker.

He feared being set up to fail when forced to switch positions, but he ended up playing better than ever. He had a career-best 12 1/2 sacks and his first trip to the Pro Bowl in 2007, when he also was coming off a torn Achilles’ tendon; he ended up being the NFL’s comeback player of the year.

Part of Ellis’ motivation that season was that Dallas drafted Anthony Spencer in the first

round to be his eventual replacement. Ellis remained the starter and pass-rush specialist last season by getting eight sacks, but he knew the Cowboys eventually would need to find out what they had in Spencer.

While he would’ve preferred finishing his career in Dallas, he appreciated being released in time to land another job.

“It was never anything personal,” Ellis said. “Some players make the mistake of getting mad with the owners, mad with the organization, saying bad things about the organization. But you have to understand that football does have a business side. ... It’s just the circle of life in football.

You can’t play on one team forever. Enjoy the years you are there, like I did. I just wish we’d won the big one while I was there.”

Lions have lost their touch on Thanksgiving DETROIT (AP) – The Green Bay Packers are hoping to bolster their postseason chances with a win at Detroit on Thanksgiving.

Recent history suggests the Lions will be accommodating hosts.

Detroit has lost five straight games on the holiday by an average of 23.4 points since beating the Packers in 2003, and its worst game this season was at Green Bay. The Lions (2-8), though, are enjoying a positive buzz they haven’t had since starting 6-2 two years ago. They rallied from a 21-point deficit to beat Cleveland last Sunday for the franchise’s biggest comeback victory since 1957.

“Our locker room is on a high right now,” Detroit center Dominic Raiola said. “We’re motivated to keep it that way after we were embarrassed at Green Bay. We have something to prove to the Packers, and everybody else watching us on national TV. The last time we were on national TV, last Thanksgiving, we got embarrassed by Tennessee.

“We’ve got to put our foot down and start winning this game. Since I’ve been here,

we’ve only beat Green Bay. The Lions used to not lose on Thanksgiving.”

The Lions slump on Thanksgiving – losing seven of eight – has been bad enough to put them one game under .500 in their annual showcase.

Detroit won four straight and nine of 12 on Thanksgiving before ex-general manager Matt Millen arrived in 2001, taking Raiola in his first draft, and turned a lackluster franchise into a laughingstock.

First-year coach Jim Schwartz has tried to stress the importance of Detroit’s traditional game to his players.

“It’s not just everybody watching, it’s everybody with relatives meeting up with families,” Schwartz said. “They’re all just sitting around the living room waiting for the turkey and the apple pie and they’re going to turn the game on. There’s some urgency to it from the standpoint that you’re on national television and there’s a pride thing.”

Detroit’s chances to win – or at least be entertaining – will be directly tied to the health of Matthew Stafford and Calvin Johnson.

Stafford (shoulder) and Johnson (hand/ knee) were both hurt in Sunday’s win over the Browns and were unable to practice two days later in Detroit’s only full practice of the week. Stafford was listed as doubtful and Johnson questionable.

The last time the Lions didn’t have Stafford and Johnson on the field, it wasn’t pretty for them. Green Bay took advantage with a 26-0 win last month.

“We played probably our worst game of the year,” Schwartz said.

Green Bay (6-4) won’t have any sympathy for the banged-up Lions because it lost cornerback Al Harris and linebacker Aaron Kampman to season-ending knee injuries in last week’s win over San Francisco.

Tramon Williams is expected to fill in for Harris and rookie Brad Jones, a seventhround pick, is slated to play in Kampman’s place.

The Packers did get some good news Wednesday when center Scott Wells practiced a day after a knee injury held him out of workouts.

Sutton excels with Panthers, no matter the position CHARLOTTE (AP) – Being the smallest player on Carolina’s roster doesn’t bother Tyrell Sutton. Being dubbed one of the littlest fullbacks in NFL history produces a shrug.

The Panthers’ versatile rookie knows what it’s like to fight for attention – dating to when he was on the same peewee football team with Cleveland Cavaliers superstar LeBron James in their hometown of Akron, Ohio.

“I was eight and he was 10,” Sutton recalled Wednesday. “I think I was like, 3-9 and he was like 6-1, something like that.”

Sutton has only grown to 5-foot-8, but he’s had a large impact on the Panthers, from an emergency role as fullback to getting spot duty at running back to taking over Carolina’s kickoff return job.

Not bad for a guy who wasn’t drafted out of Northwestern, was

cut by Green Bay before the start of the regular season, then spent the first seven games on Carolina’s inactive list.

“He’s smart, he’s tough and the game is not too big for him,” quarterback Jake Delhomme said. “He’s a great find for our guys. A great, great find.”

And much-needed. The Panthers ran out of fullbacks earlier this month when Brad Hoover sprained his ankle and backup Tony Fiammetta sustained a concussion. Not surprisingly, Sutton, listed at 213 pounds, had never played fullback. It didn’t stop the coaching staff from telling him he’d practice there.

“I thought it was a joke,” Sutton said, smiling.

He found out as the week went on it could happen. He honed up on the position, grilled Hoover and Fiammetta, and made his

NFL debut Nov. 8 at New Orleans blocking guys a half foot taller and about 50 pounds heavier. He added three rushes for 15 yards and one reception for 11 yards.

“The first thing I said to (Hoover) was, ’I don’t know how you’ve been in the league this long playing fullback”’ Sutton said. “I was feeling it after the game.”

Sutton’s role changed again the following week. He replaced the struggling Mike Goodson return kickoffs. Sutton didn’t get a chance when all five Atlanta kicks were touchbacks.

But Sutton returned kicks again last week against Miami, averaging 26.5 yards, including a 32-yard return. He also saw time as the No. 3 running back, catching two passes for 18 yards, while earning praise from his veteran teammates.

“Especially as a rookie. Sometimes you can be in awe,” Hoover

said. “He hadn’t really dressed until the New Orleans game and stepped in and played fullback.

And the last couple of games he’s played well. He’s mature enough and mentally stable enough to play at a high level.”

Even if he is shrinking.

Sutton was listed as 5-10 when he was Mr. Ohio in high school.

Northwestern said he was 5-9 when he rushed for 3,886 yards and amassed 5,138 all-purpose yards.

Then he measured at 5-8 when he went to the NFL combine and put up suspect times in speed drills.

Combine it with two injuries in college that Sutton said left him “dubbed as injury-prone” and he went undrafted. “All they really look at in the combine is what can they do in a setting that’s supposed to be a football atmosphere,” Sutton said. “But that has nothing to do with being a player.”

Hokiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Taylor develops into polished passer

AP

Texas quarterback Colt McCoy looks to lead the third-ranked Longhorns to another undefeated regular season when they visit arch-rival Texas A&M tonight.

Lornhorns wary of Aggies COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Texas has taken control of its annual series with Oklahoma, gone 15-3 against ranked opponents since 2005 and won its last five bowl games.

Texas A&M, though, has been a troublesome opponent for Mack Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Longhorns.

The Aggies have twice upset the heavily favored Longhorns in the last three season. The victories have been the highlights of an otherwise forgettable decade for A&M, which hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t finished a season in the Top 25 since 1999.

The archrivals meet again tonight, and if Texas A&M (6-5, 3-4 Big 12) can pull off another shocker, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll probably cost No. 3 Texas (11-0, 7-0) a shot at the national title and cripple Colt McCoyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chances of winning the Heisman Trophy.

The losses to A&M in 2006 and â&#x20AC;&#x2122;07

erased Texasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; chances of winning the Big 12 South, but the Longhorns donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to worry about that happening this time. They locked up their first berth in the Big 12 title game since 2005 with a 51-20 win over Kansas last week, and Brown acknowledged thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a relief heading to Kyle Field. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sewing up the Big 12 South title really takes a lot of pressure off of this week, so we can go play and enjoy the game,â&#x20AC;? Brown said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a national game, a rival game again.

It is important regardless of the records of the two teams and whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at stake. This lets us focus on this game and not look at all the other stuff around us.â&#x20AC;?

Texas handled last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting just fine, routing the Aggies and new coach Mike Sherman 49-9 in Austin.

But two years ago in College Station, A&M delivered its most inspired performance of the season and knocked off the 13th-ranked Longhorns 38-30, the Aggiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; most significant victory â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and last game â&#x20AC;&#x201C; under Dennis Franchione.

In 2006, the Aggies toughed out an equally unexpected 12-7 win in Austin. McCoy threw for only 160 yards and was picked off three times, and A&M rushed for 244 yards against the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top-ranked run defense.

McCoy, who set an NCAA record last week with his 43rd career victory, said the Longhorns have hardly mentioned either game since they happened. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really talk about â&#x20AC;&#x2122;06 and â&#x20AC;&#x2122;07. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like to think about that,â&#x20AC;? McCoy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We talk about being the best we can be and finishing what we started.â&#x20AC;?

Ga. Tech coach: Georgia just another game ATLANTA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Just another game? Georgia Tech vs. Georgia?

Well, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the way Paul Johnson sees it.

In comments sure to stoke the rivalry even more, the second-year coach of the No. 7 Yellow Jackets said he looks at Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contest against disappointing Georgia just like he would any other game on the schedule.

Nothing more. Nothing less. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know the game is important,â&#x20AC;?

Johnson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But honestly, I get ready for this game the same way I do every other game. It is not the end-all, do-all for our football program to beat Georgia. I certainly want to win our share of games against them. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the state.

I understand all that. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not going to define our year if we beat Georgia. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m trying to build a football program here.â&#x20AC;?

That sort of brush-off would have been laughable a mere two seasons ago. Georgia was the undisputed top dog, having beaten the Yellow Jackets seven years in a row.

But Johnson arrived on the scene

in 2008, filled with bravado and proclaiming there was no reason for the Yellow Jackets to sulk in the shadow of their biggest rival.

Just like that, the series took a totally difJohnson ferent turn.

Between the hedges, Georgia Tech rallied to beat Georgia 45-42.

Now, as the teams prepare to meet again in Atlanta, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the Yellow Jackets (10-1) who are riding high.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already clinched a spot in the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game, while Georgia (6-5) is wrapping up the worst season of the Mark Richt era.

Johnson refuses to get caught up in all the rivalry hype, or at least thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the sort of image he wants to project.

He figures that any sort of mental edge the Bulldogs once held in the series has been wiped clean. Never again does he want the Yellow Jackets to defer to the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other major school, as if Georgiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s undisputed popularity edge automatical-

ly translates into wins on the field. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maybe it was a big goal because Georgia Tech had not beaten Georgia for six or seven years,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But been there, done that.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be surprised by it. Act like you know it can happen.â&#x20AC;?

That mindset surely helped the Yellow Jackets a year ago when they fell behind 28-12 at halftime.

They just kept plugging away with their potent spread option offense, scoring 26 straight points in the third quarter and holding on at the end to hand the Bulldogs a devastating loss. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I expected to beat â&#x20AC;&#x2122;em last year,â&#x20AC;?

Johnson said.

Over in Athens, the view is a little different, of course. The Bulldogs are now the underdog in their own state, and they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like the feeling. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They think the tide has changed and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to win anytime soon,â&#x20AC;? Georgia punter Drew Butler said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking forward to beating us for the next five or six years, and hopefully we can put an end to that.â&#x20AC;?

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; With one more victory, fourth-ranked TCU will be waiting to find out where â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not if â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Horned Frogs will be playing in the Bowl Championship Series.

All that stands between the Frogs (11-0, 70 Mountain West), their first undefeated regular season in 71 years and finally being a BCS buster is Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home finale against New Mexico (1-10, 1-6).

Coach Gary Patterson characteristically reminded everybody Tuesday that there is still one more game left, even telling a story during his introductory remarks about when he was an assistant coach for an 010 Tennessee Tech team that beat a 10-0 team in a season finale.

Patterson even pointed to the tiny, yet very obvious clear spot on the lower two-thirds of the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pyramid of goals: the New Mexico game waiting to be colored in purple if they win. The Frogs are listed as more than six-TD favorites.

Florida, Alabama or Texas will have to slip up to create a chance for TCU to be the first outsider to play in the BCS national championship game and an opportunity to fill in the to box and the loftiest goal: No. 1, national champions.

So there is the distinct possibility that the Frogs will be undefeated for the first time since 1938, when Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Davey Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien led TCU to its only national championship, and not get a title shot.

If that happens, Patterson said he isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t planning to whine about it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As soon as I win this ball game, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to turn this into a negative season,â&#x20AC;? Patterson said.

The Frogs have never been closer to a BCS game. The closest previously was 2003, when they won their first 10 games before losing at Southern Miss. The only other time they won 12 games, which they have a chance to do Saturday, was 1935.

LARGE ASSORTMENT OF SWEATERS AT THE CLOSE OUT PRICE OF

BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The flashy highlights this season for Virginia Tech have mostly belonged to Ryan Williams, the redshirt freshman who leads the ACC in rushing.

Almost overlooked for the 14th-ranked Hokies this season has been the development of quarterback Tyrod Taylor. Always feared as a runner, the junior has shown more patience than ever in letting plays develop, and turned himself into one of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most efficient passers.

Through 11 games, Taylor has thrown 13 touchdown passes and just three interceptions. The latter is tied for the lowest figure in the nation among full-time quarterbacks, and both highlight how far he has come.

A year ago, he threw for two TDs and Taylor had seven interceptions.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ranked 13th in the nation in passing efficiency, and will enter Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game against Virginia having gone 98 passes without an interception. Earlier this season, he had a streak of 84 passes without being picked off before throwing two in a loss to No. 7 Georgia Tech.

He largely credits his teammates for his improvement, and how hard they all worked with him throughout the summer. But he also says knowing his responsibilities â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and how they differ from what his role was as the quarterback at Hampton High School â&#x20AC;&#x201C; has helped immeasurably, too. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I first got here, I kind of thought that I had to make all the plays maybe because of what I had to do in high school, trying to put the team on my back,â&#x20AC;? he said Tuesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not what I have to do here. I can put my trust in my teammates and ... we can win as a team.â&#x20AC;?

Learning he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expected to be the whole show was a process, he said, especially as the more mobile option in a shared quarterback situation with drop-back passer Sean Glennon.

Last season, when he became the No. 1 quarterback, it started to sink in. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I was a starter and playing full games, I had to put my trust in my teammates,â&#x20AC;? Taylor said.

That trust includes having them realize when a play breaks down, Taylor is not automatically going to pull the ball down and run like he used to.

Several times this season, he has scrambled around behind the line before throwing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think Tyrod has a good ability to find receivers downfield, and I think he is throwing the ball very well down the field,â&#x20AC;? coach Frank Beamer said.

Taylorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most notable scramble came in the Hokiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; comeback victory against Nebraska. On the winning TD pass with 21 seconds left, he scrambled for nine seconds before hitting Dyrell Roberts.

Jobless claims signal rebound

Kraft’s Cadbury bid concerns union LONDON (AP) — Britain’s leading union said it remained concerned about potential large scale job losses at candy maker Cadbury PLC if it is taken over by Kraft Foods Inc. after the U.S. company failed to make firm commitments on local production in talks Wednesday.

The Unite union, Britain’s biggest trade union with some 2 million members, wants a guarantee that Kraft will not transfer production facilities out of Britain if it succeeds in its $16.4 billion hostile takeover bid.

Jenny Formby, Unite’s national officer for the food sector, said that Kraft “couldn’t give us the guarantees we were seeking today,” after a meeting with Kraft’s European management team.

WASHINGTON (AP) — In a hopeful sign for the economy, the number of newly laid-off workers filing claims for unemployment benefits fell below 500,000 last week for the first time since January.

Consumer spending also picked up in October, and new-home sales hit their highest point in more than a year. Combined, the news suggested that the economy should be able to sustain at least a modest rebound.

Some economists have worried that the economy was at risk of slipping back into recession.

The number of people filing first-time claims for jobless aid fell by 35,000 to 466,000, the Labor Department said Wednesday.

That was the fewest since September of last year.

And it was far better than the 500,000 economists had expected.

Still, analysts noted that jobless claims would have to drop to near 400,000 for several weeks to signal actual growth in employment.

Economists estimate the economy will lose a net 145,000 jobs this month. It would have to add 125,000

jobs a month just to keep the unemployment rate from rising.

Some economists sounded cautionary notes about Wednesday’s positive news. They say the sluggish recovery could limit further improvements in jobless claims, new-home sales and consumer spending, which powers 70 percent of the economy.

“When taken all together, the reports still paint a picture of a slow economic recovery,” said Mark Vitner, an economist at Wells Fargo.

One such sign was that

orders for costly manufactured goods fell unexpectedly last month. Much of October’s weakness came from a big drop for goods related to defense. Excluding those, orders for other types of manufactured goods rose slightly. Still, the overall performance was weaker than economists had expected.

Some analysts also cautioned against reading too much into the sharp drop in unemployment claims. They noted that part of the improvement reflected large seasonal adjustment fac-

Fed tightens conflict rules

GM: Future of Belgian Opel plant uncertain RUESSELSHEIM, Germany (AP) — An Opel plant in Belgium faces an uncertain future as General Motors moves to restructure its European operations, a drive expected to cost some 9,000 jobs across the continent, a top executive said Wednesday.

Nick Reilly, the head of GM Europe, detailed GM’s plans to employee representatives from Opel and sister brand Vauxhall. He stressed that action is needed because “the competition in this industry is intense and getting fiercer every day.”

GM not talking to new Saab suitors DETROIT (AP) — GM has not talked with any other potential buyers for the Swedish Saab brand since a specialty car maker pulled out of a deal to buy it this week, a person briefed on GM’s plans said Wednesday.

The development is another sign that GM’s board may decide when it meets next week to let the storied brand go out of business, placing 4,500 jobs in jeopardy.

The person, who asked not to be identified, confirmed the board would discuss Saab’s future Dec. 1.

tors, which smooth out changes that normally occur at certain times of the year. Excluding seasonal adjustments, claims rose. That’s normal at this time of year when many construction workers face layoffs because of worsening weather conditions.

Most economists say the recovery will remain so weak and job creation so slight that the unemployment rate will keep rising.

Many think the rate, which hit a 26-year high of 10.2 percent in October, could top 10.5 percent by mid-2010.

Visitors admire the John Deere exhibits at the Farm Progress Show in Decatur, Ill., in September.

Deere reports loss on charges CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (AP) — Deere and Co. lost $223 million in the fourth quarter, reflecting big charges and a 28 percent slump in sales as demand for tractors, combines and construction equipment sagged amid the global economic downturn.

Deere is the biggest U.S. maker of farm equipment, and sluggish economic conditions in the United States and much of the rest of the world continue to drive down demand for its agricultural mainstays. Prices of major crops such as corn and soybeans show

no sign of rebounding to anything like the highs of the past couple of years, many farmers bought new equipment.

Deere’s construction equipment business has also been hurt by the sluggish global economy and slowdown in home and commercial construction.

Nonetheless, the company based in Moline, Ill., said Wednesday it would have been profitable without the unusual items in the latest quarter.

Deere said it expects its equipment sales to drop another 1 percent

next year, including a 10 percent slide in the first quarter. The company forecasts a $900 million profit next year.

Its shares slipped 60 cents, or 1 percent, to $51.69 in premarket trading.

The company lost 53 cents a share in the three months ended Oct. 31 in contrast to a profit of $345 million, or 81 cents a share, a year earlier.

The loss included charges of $321.8 million for a write-down in the value of assets and restructuring expenses, including the cost of laying off hundreds of work-

ers earlier this year.

Otherwise, Deere said it would have earned 23 cents per share.

Analysts were looking for earnings of 3 cents a share before items.

Worldwide revenue dropped to $5.334 billion from $7.4 billion a year ago.

Sales of farm and construction equipment dropped 26 percent in the U.S. and Canada and 35 percent in the rest of the world. Deere’s equipment operations reported an operating loss of $22 million for the quarter, down from a profit of $549 million a year earlier.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Federal Reserve on Wednesday tightened the conflict of interest restrictions governing the boards of directors of its 12 regional banks.

The new rules were passed to deal with potential conflicts such as one that involved Stephen Friedman, a former chairman of Goldman Sachs Group Inc. Friedman got a waiver to continue serving as chairman of the board of directors of the New York Federal Reserve Bank even though Goldman Sachs had switched its status during the height of the financial crisis to become a bank holding company, which is regulated by the Fed. It had formerly been an investment bank.

Friedman ended up resigning from the Fed position in May after The Wall Street Journal raised questions about his ties to Goldman Sachs, including his large holdings of the company’s stock.

“Although I have been in compliance with the rules, my public service ... on the reserve bank board is being mischaracterized as improper,” Friedman said in his resignation letter.

The 12 Fed regional banks are governed by nine-member boards.

Federal courts see more bankruptcy cases WASHINGTON (AP) — Bankruptcy filings in federal courts jumped by more than one-third this year, as businesses and individuals struggled to regain their footing in a weakened economy.

INDEX

NEW YORK (AP) – Stocks climbed Wednesday following a drop in weekly unemployment claims to the lowest level of the year and a rise in new home sales.

The market’s gains were modest on light trading volume ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday.

The government said new claims for unemployment insurance fell by 35,000 last week to 466,000. That’s the fewest claims since September last year, and better than the 500,000 that economists had expected.

The drop in claims suggests the job market is healing, but concern remains that the improvement will be temporary as the weak economy continues to push unemployment higher. The jobless rate hit 10.2 percent in October and many analysts believe it will keep rising

In other economic reports, new home sales rose 6.2 percent to an annual rate of 430,000. That’s above what economists surveyed by Thomson Reuters had expected.

Separately, the government also reported consumer spending rose a brisk 0.7 percent last month, following a 0.6 percent drop in September. It was the best showing since August, when the government’s now-defunct Cash for Clunkers programs enticed people to buy cars.

The Dow Jones industrial average rose 30.69, or 0.3 percent, to 10,464.40.

The broader Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 4.98, or 0.5 percent, to 1,110.63, and the Nasdaq composite index rose 6.87, or 0.3 percent, to 2,176.05.

Toyota to replace unsafe gas pedals WASHINGTON (AP) – Toyota Motor Corp. said Wednesday it will replace accelerator pedals on about 4 million recalled vehicles in the United States because the pedals can get stuck in the floor mats, another blow to the reputation of the world’s largest automaker.

Toyota said dealers will offer to shorten the length of the gas pedals by about 3/4 inch beginning in January, as a stopgap measure while the company develops replacement pedals for their vehicles. New pedals will be installed by dealers on a rolling basis beginning in April, and some vehicles will have brake override systems installed as a precaution.

Toyota announced the massive recall in late September and told owners to remove the driver’s side floor mats to keep the gas pedal from becoming jammed.

Popular vehicles such as the Toyota Camry, the top-selling passenger car in America, and the Toyota Prius, the best-selling gas-electric hybrid, are among those getting fixed.

The recall also included

Oil hovers around $76 on weakened dollar NEW YORK (AP) – Oil prices hovered around $76 a barrel Wednesday as a weakened U.S. dollar overshadowed a government report showing a less-than-expected build in crude inventories.

Benchmark crude for January delivery fell a penny to $76.01 on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

Medtronic profit rises 59 percent on sales

AP

The accelerator pedal (right) in a 2010 Toyota Camry is seen on the showroom floor of Bobby Rahal Toyota in Mechanicsburg, Pa., on Wednesday. the luxury Lexus ES350, the vehicle in a fiery fatal accident in California that focused public attention on the danger.

“The safety of our owners and the public is our utmost concern and Toyota has and will continue to thoroughly investigate and take appropriate measures to address any defect trends that are

identified,” the Japanese automaker said in a statement.

Toyota spokesman Irv Miller said the company was “very, very confident that we have addressed this issue” with the new fix. Toyota has found “no reason to believe that there is a problem with the electronic control systems,” he said.

Toyota officials said the floor mats are only sold in the U.S. and the recall would be limited to North America.

Toyota declined to provide a cost estimate for the fix, but analysts said it would be extremely expensive because of the extensive repairs involved and the manufacturing of new pedals.

NEW YORK (AP) – Medtronic reported a surprising 59 percent boost in second-quarter profit Tuesday, as increased sales of implantable heart devices defied reports of weakening demand from competitors.

The sales gains during the quarter prompted the world’s largest medical device maker to raise its full-year guidance, sending its shares up more than 7 percent in morning trading.

The Minneapolis company earned $868 million, or 78 cents per share, in the quarter ended Oct. 30, up from $547 million, or 48 cents per share, a year ago. Excluding a litigation gain and other items, adjusted income totaled $850 million, or 77 cents per share.

World stocks buoyed by US data LONDON (AP) – European and U.S. stock markets rose Wednesday after a batch of stronger than anticipated U.S. economic data and as trading levels dried up ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday.

In Europe, the FTSE 100 index of leading British shares closed up 40.85 points, or 0.8 percent, at 5,364.81 while Germany’s DAX rose 33.71 points, or 0.6 percent, to 5,803.02. The CAC-40 in France was 24.54 points, or 0.7 percent, higher at 3,809.16.

Who is Oprah’s heir apparent in daytime TV?

BY DAVID BAUDER AP TELEVISION WRITER

EW YORK – Will it be Ellen DeGeneres, Dr. Phil or Dr. Oz? Maybe none of the above.

The announced shutdown of “The Oprah Winfrey Show” in two years creates room for a new queen (or king) of daytime television.

“You haven’t had a time period like this open up in 25 years,” said Larry Gerbrandt, an analyst for the firm Media Valuation Partners in Los Angeles.

“It really gives the players a chance to reshuffle the deck.”

Nowhere now in daytime television is there a show with the breadth of Winfrey’s, which can feature an interview with singer Whitney Houston about her drug use one

She can do a serious Dr. Phil hour about domestic abuse, bring Tom Cruise on to jump on her sofa, host a party with the Black Eyed Peas or give away cars to everyone in her audience.

The two shows closest to Winfrey’s in the ratings are hosted by her proteges, Dr. Phil and Dr. Oz. Yet “Dr. Phil” has been around a while and the ratings indicate viewers are starting to tire of his form of tough love.

“Dr. Oz” was a breakout hit as a newcomer this fall, but its appeal as a health-oriented show is limited. Winfrey only had him as an occasional guest, and there are questions about how many people want to see him every day.

NEW YORK (AP) – At last, the back story of “Peter and the Wolf.”

With the wellearned blessing of Sergei Prokofiev’s estate, director Anne Geenen has added a 30-minute prequel to the classic children’s musical about the boy who captures a wolf and combined it with an original score (by Philip Feeney) for a sweet production currently showing at the New Victory Theater.

“Listen – sleigh bells,” calls out narrator Brian Blessed, the veteran British actor and a bearded soul in a heavy plaid coat who could pass for a lumber-cutting cousin of Santa Claus. With a shot of holiday spirit, and a bow to the 15-piece orchestra placed at audience level, Blessed relates how Peter and friends meet in a shadowy, pinefilled forest and swear they have spotted a wolf.

“Wolves exist in a world greatly changed by people,” Peter is warned, “they have never depended on man, they eat when they are hungry, sleep when they can.”

“Then, I too will be a wolf,” Peter decides, just as the first act ends.

Since commissioned in 1936, “Peter and the Wolf” has been a dance between instrument and character and between character and the actor’s movements.

Thursday, Nov. 26, 2009 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Lil’ Fizz, 24; Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon, 43; Tina Turner, 70; Rich Little, 71 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Organization, precision and not letting your emotions run wild will be the key to your accomplishments this year. Be disciplined and ready to deal with each issue quickly and efficiently. You have to hold the key to your future and not let anyone interfere with your plans. Reconnect with your past and find a way to meld the old with the new. Your numbers are 4, 11, 17, 23, 30, 39, 43 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Stop and think before you blurt out something that you will regret.

Ruining a surprise or letting someone get wind of your plans will work against you. Small talk will get you past some of the potential mishaps you face. ★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You have no time to be upset or to get into an argument with someone. Rise above any of the trivial matters that tease your mind. Strive for happy memories and spending time with people who make a difference to your life. ★★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You’ll have to be careful not to offend someone with your actions or comments. Partnership problems are likely to develop if you aren’t sensitive to the needs of others. You can find a solution once you recognize the problem. ★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t waste your talent. If you put it to good use, you will open up a professional opportunity that suits your lifestyle.

You can turn your personal life into an asset.

Stop daydreaming and start living your dream. ★★★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You’ll be tempted to be frivolous and overly generous. Before you rack up bills or make costly promises, consider giving your time and experience instead of your cash.

Challenge yourself physically and it will spark new ideas. ★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Know where you stand financially, emotionally and physically.

Budget wisely but don’t go without. You can stretch what you’ve got a lot further than you realize. Good ideas, good timing and a lot of love can conquer all. ★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Do everything in your power to fix any financial trouble you have.

It is important that you take command of the situation immediately. Apply for a better position, pick up a part time job or cut costs at home. ★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): It’s what you present and offer others that will help you get ahead of the financial rat race. Take more interest in what you do well and you’ll find a solution to subsidize your income. ★★★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Before you do something you’ll regret, access your situation and steer clear of becoming the middleman. Picking sides or interfering in any way will backfire.

Stay neutral. The less you say, the better. ★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Do not hold yourself back or reduce your chance to advance because you think you are already out in front.

Creative people will jump into the lead if you are lax in your ways. Be ready to take advantage of an unusual opportunity. ★★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Follow your heart. You will instinctively take the road less traveled but that’s the one that suits you best. Not everyone will agree with your decisions but once you get started, everyone will rally round. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Your emotions will be difficult to control. Put your emphasis on the people you care most about and you will bypass the troubles erratic behavior can lead to in the workforce. Less talk and more action will be the route to take. ★★★

“I must say, Holmes, you were lucky to make 3NT.” “True, Watson. Every player is entitled to a bit of luck. The idea is to take advantage of it.”

Dr. Watson and Sherlock Holmes were reviewing the day’s play against Professor Moriarty.

“Moriarty led the eight of hearts,” Watson recalled, “and dummy’s jack won.

I fear I’d have forced out the ace of spades next. East would return a heart, and West would run the hearts.

“You let the nine of diamonds ride at Trick Two. When it won, you finessed in clubs also and won five diamonds, three clubs and a heart. Surely it was your good fortune to win two finesses – having judged to try them.”

JUSTICE “My finesses worked, Watson,” said the great detective, “but that was simple justice. To try the spades was wrong since East surely had the ace. If Moriarty had five hearts headed by the A-Q plus a side ace, he’d have overcalled one heart. To finesse in both minor suits was best.”

“Amazing, Holmes.”

“Elementary.”

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S A 7 H 10 7 2 D Q 5 4 C K 9 7 6 2. The dealer, at your left, opens one spade. Your partner doubles, and the next player passes. What do you say?

ANSWER: Jump to three clubs, promising about 10 points and a decent suit. You’d bid two clubs with no points at all. An option is to respond 1NT, showing six to nine points with a spade stopper, but if partner has minimum values, a club partial will be safer. If he acts again, you can try notrump.

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.

OS ANGELES â&#x20AC;&#x201C; During rehearsals for his outlandish American Music Awards performance, Adam Lambert effortlessly governs the sprawling stage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s do it faster,â&#x20AC;? the ebony-haired singer prods a choreographer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tell them it should be really bright there,â&#x20AC;? he later cues a technician.

When he begins performing â&#x20AC;&#x153;For Your Entertainment,â&#x20AC;? the first single and title track from his album released Monday, Lambertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s domination turns outrageous.

It was just seven months ago that the seemingly unstoppable 27-year-old glam rocker lost â&#x20AC;&#x153;American Idolâ&#x20AC;? to nonchalant singersongwriter Kris Allen on this very stage at the Nokia Theatre, but now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lambertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s world â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just being entertained by it. With his glitzy rock godliness, Lambert has already eclipsed the talent contestâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actual winner and has the potential to outshine all â&#x20AC;&#x153;Idolsâ&#x20AC;? before him.

While inside the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Idolâ&#x20AC;? bubble, the openly gay Lambert dodged the â&#x20AC;&#x153;he-is-isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t-he?â&#x20AC;? line of questioning, choosing to reveal all to Rolling Stone magazine after his narrow loss to Allen last May. Lambert believes the time is right for someone like him to be embraced in pop culture while simultaneously smashing established conventions.

Unlike his leashed back-up dancers, Lambert insists heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no puppet, and is in control of his record deal with 19 Recordings and RCA Records. He had the artistic direction for his CD, the zany album cover (which features him with blue hair and even more guyliner than usual) to the songs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Contrary to certain opinions, the management team has been nothing but facilitating of my vision,â&#x20AC;? Lambert claims. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the other way around. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know why that impression was made. Creatively, I am in control of my situation. I feel like it is my responsibility to contribute actively, almost primarily, to this because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m the artist at the center.â&#x20AC;?

Michael Jackson ‘Opus’ book offers rare images, photos

BY NEKESA MUMBI MOODY AP MUSIC WRITER

N

EW YORK – Artist Nate Giorgio recalls the last time he saw Michael Jackson, just days before the singer’s death.

The pop icon wanted Giorgio to create dazzling murals of his children as well as artwork for his “This Is It” concerts, and Giorgio got out his pen during their talks.

“I was doing little drawings on the spot of him, and he loved it,” says Giorgio of his blackand-white sketches. “He was great, he was really excited.”

Those never-before seen sketches, as well as other rare artwork and photos of Jackson, are now part of a lavish new leather-bound book, “The Official Michael Jackson OPUS,” out Dec. 7.

The book, the only

publication officially sanctioned

by Jackson’s estate, not only contains Jackson unseen images of perhaps the world’s most famous face, it also has essays about the superstar written by friends and those who worked with Jackson over the years, from Motown founder Berry Gordy and Paula Abdul to John Landis and David Blaine.

While many Jackson books have been printed since Jackson’s June 25 death at age 50, Jeff Wald, president of OPUS Media

Group, which published the book, says his stands out.

He and his team decided “this would not be a red carpet sound bite kind of a book,” he says. “It wasn’t about, ‘Yeah, he’s a great singer, a great dancer.’ It was much more in depth about the human being that he was.”

To that end, OPUS executive vice president Jordan Sommers elicited essays that weren’t quite tributes, but personal reflections. Some talk about Jackson the jokester; others recall his artistic genius; still others reflect on his friendship.

“There’s a lot of infor-

mation from the book that comes directly from sources that will clear up a lot of misconceptions,” he says. “There are stories told directly from the likes of Smokey Robinson (and others) that they’ve never told before.”

The photos, some of which were provided by friends like Gordy, range from Jackson’s childhood to his many transformations as an adult. “Our mandate ... was to have most of the photos either not be seen ever before or never ever seen in the format in which they had been (shown),” says Wald.

There are also drawings of Jackson done by Giorgio and other artists.
