Perdue to help RCCC dedicate $26M building at NCRC Governor, Research Campus founder David Murdock among scheduled speakers BY SARAH CAMPBELL scampbell@salisburypost.com

N.C. Gov. Bev Perdue will speak at a dedication ceremony Thursday for RowanCabarrus Community College’s new classroom and laboratory building at the North Carolina Research Campus. The event is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. In addition to Perdue, speakers at the event will include David Murdock, chairman of Dole Food Co. and

founder of the Research Campus, N.C. Sen. Fletcher Hartsell, Jr., RCCC president Dr. Carol Spalding, board of trustees Chairman Carl Short and board member Ray Paradowski. The public is invited to attend the ceremony and take a self-guided tour afterward. The 62,332 square-foot facility, which opened on the first day of class Aug. 16, is equipped with 10 classrooms, 10 laboratories, a community event room with a 95-person

capacity, a high-tech distance learning classroom and about 30 faculty and staff offices. The college is seeking donations to complete three laboratories that remain unfinished. PERDUE The building is currently home to the biotechnology associate de-

gree program and will be the hub for the college’s new health information technology associate degree program in the future. More than 150 students are currently enrolled in the biotechnology program, which has grown from 32 students in 2008. “We can grow the program because we have the building now,” said Jeff Lowrance, director of college relations. The Small Business Center and the Office of Corpo-

rate and Professional Development, which were both housed at the Cabarrus Business and Technology Center in Concord, have also been moved to the facility. The building is Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) certified for better environmental performance. The $26 million facility was constructed by Castle and Cooke with funding provided by the state of North Carolina.

Lowrance said an annual state budget appropriation is funding a 20-year lease for the building. “After 20 years the building becomes the property of RCCC,” he said. “All of the state’s taxpayers are paying for the lease, but Rowan and Cabarrus counties will own the building. “It’s really an investment by the state in our two counties.” Contact Sarah Campbell at 704-797-7683.

Gary Sims’ bash is Relay’s benefit Spencer 50th birthday party will raise money for cancer research board will seat new alderman BY EMILY FORD eford@salisburypost.com

SPENCER — New appointee David Smith will take the oath of office tonight when the Spencer Board of Aldermen meets at 7 p.m. Smith was appointed last month to fill Donnie Hinson’s vacant seat on the board. Hinson resigned due to poor health. Rowan County District Court Judge Marshall Bickett will swear in Smith. Also tonight, the board will hold a courtesy hearing on recycling. Town leaders decided at a planning retreat in February to start a recycling program and now want feedback from residents about what type of program to launch. In addition to department and committee reports, the board will hear a request from the Michael Yang Foundation to use Library Park. Aldermen will consider authorizing the Crestwood storm water project and vote on a resolution regarding surplus property. The agenda also includes property liens and discussion about a code of ethics workshop. Contact Emily Ford at 704-797-4264. JON C. LAKEY/SALISBURY POST

Dixon runs for third District Court term; Smith tries to unseat her BY SHAVONNE POTTS spotts@salisburypost.co

Beth Dixon filed for reelection in what will be her third term, if elected. Salisbury attorney Doug Smith is running against her for what would be his first term as a judge. Dixon, 45, has been a District Court judge since 2002. Prior to that, Dixon worked as an assistant district attorney beginning in September 2000. She had also worked in private practice as an attorney and, from 1995-1999, served as an attorney advocate for Rowan County Guardian ad Litem program.

Dixon declined an interview request from the Post for this article, asking instead to have questions submitted to her in writing. W h e n asked why she became a judge in the first place, Dixon said she’d never DIXON thought of it before some colleagues approached her in 2001. At the time, a vacancy existed on the bench. Up until that point, her legal career had been predominantly pub-

lic-service oriented. “I was honored that my colleagues deemed me worthy of the bench and viewed the challenge as a wonderful opportunity to continue to serve the community that I love,” Dixon wrote in an email response to questions. Being a judge carries several challenges, Dixon wrote. “One of the hardest is to recognize that you will disappoint somebody with every decision you make. Each side always wants to win, and obviously they both can’t. You must, as a judge, develop the

fortitude to always do the right thing, not the easiest or the most popular thing.” Dixon added that a judge is, at all times, called upon to uphold the integrity and independence of the office. “You cannot and must not be swayed by outside influences,” she wrote. North Carolina is one of 39 states where judges are elected rather than appointed. Some argue voters don’t know that much about candidates and judicial campaigns are costly, or that selection should

The downside to popular elections, however, is that judicial races get very little notice and SMITH many voters are unaware of judicial candidates’ qualifications,” she wrote.

ward. “I am in favor of exploring an appointment process to insure qualified candidates are put forth, followed by retention elections whereby the voting public gets an opportunity to weigh in on the judge’s performance,” Dixon wrote. Dixon declined to comment on a recent case that brought her negative attention. Citing the judicial code of ethics, she wouldn’t say what impact the Felicia Gibson case might have on her re-election bid.

Q. I am trying to eat better and be healthier but don’t get the support of my family. How do I get their support? A. As you are reading this column we are still enjoying my family in the Netherlands! It is quite common that a family does not want to support or take part in a healthy lifestyle. It takes work and effort. They may feel that they don’t need it ESTER because they are not overweight; so MARSH why do it? I have heard this question many times. Someone is ready to make the changes to lead a healthy lifestyle and the family is not. The problem is that it will make it so much harder for you to succeed. I believe to succeed is a family effort. I also believe that there are many unhealthy “skinny” people. Just because you don’t have to “lose weight” does not mean you should not have a healthy lifestyle. What is a healthy lifestyle? I feel that it is a cross between eating a balanced diet, being physically active most days of the week, and having a healthy spirit, mind and body. A healthy lifestyle does not have to exclude all the fun things. If you feel that you can’t wait to stop your healthy lifestyle, you are going in the wrong direction. Yes, you will have to make choices to get there. It is not something that is done in a week, month, or even a year. In a year you can make a huge

change and see the benefits of the healthy choices you made. Most people you talk to when they have done very well (most of the time lost a lot of weight and are looking and feeling very good), they will tell you that it will take at least a year to see big changes and more years to continue to see more physical changes. The great part of a healthy lifestyle is that when you “start” you immediately will feel the difference. Most of the time, you sleep better, have more energy, feel better about yourself, just feel that you can conquer the world. Those feelings happen pretty fast, it’s just when the weight does not fall off people don’t see how much better they feel. So why not have your family be part of a healthy lifestyle? First, don’t tell them Second, start with baby steps. If you normally have a lot of junk food in the house, make small changes. Cut out part of the junk food and add some good-tasting healthy snacks. If you cut them all out, your family will surely try to boycott your plans to a healthier lifestyle. Plan your family outings where you walk, play and bike instead of sit, watch and do nothing. Have a pizza night, but instead of two large pizzas have one and a salad. Have one “cheat” day. Don’t have your dessert in the house, but go and eat special ice cream or cookies or doughnuts. Small changes for everyone’s health — doesn’t that make sense? So don’t tell your family, start making small changes and increase your physical activity yourself, and as a family. This way your family support will come without them knowing it.

Students getting to know cadavers GARY, Ind. (AP) — Every year, thousands donate their bodies to science and become an essential part of medical training. Donors are usually anonymous and dissections aren’t really talked about much outside the anatomy

lab. But Indiana University’s Northwest campus, in Gary, has an unusual program that encourages medical students to get to know donors’ families. They share clinical and personal information about the donors. And relatives are even invited to memorial services.

Look both ways a warning new drivers should heed eens are cautioned on the receipt of their driver’s licenses, both by their parents and by their high school driving instructors, to drive with care, being observant of the conditions and other drivers. The “lead foot” warnings are the ones most often made, but the other MACK warning, WILLIAMS dating back to the grade-school crosswalk, should be remembered as well: “Look both ways.” I did pretty well with driver’s education, except that I never could parallel park very well. I always hoped that I would find several of those abandoned and adjoining linear spaces so that by the time I went through at least two of them, I would be perfectly aligned with the sidewalk. Upon reaching the end of the third (I could probably dock the Space Shuttle with the International Space Station with not too much difficulty, since there is a lot of unmarked room out in space with which to work.) Grover Roseman had the courage to accompany me several times on my out-of-school driving practice since my father had passed away in 1966. I didn’t give Grover any cause for alarm, driving at about the same rate of speed as I do now, which is usually below the speed limit. Approaching 60 years of age, my driving speed has always been about 5 miles per hour beneath the age which I am approaching. I always liked the old commercial which said “Drive 55 and stay alive!” (This was different from my father; the older he became, the faster he drove.) My first wreck involving another car happened about a week after I got my license at age 16. I wasn’t speeding, but failed to wait just a bit longer and look just a bit farther than I did. I arrived, one afternoon, at

Faith Road from the road just past the old Salisbury Drive-In. My plan was to turn left onto Faith Road, then take a right on Gold Hill Drive, then a left on Old Concord Road to go home. I looked to the right, and nothing was coming. To the left was an approaching school bus, and, after it passed, I made my left turn. I immediately heard and felt a crash. My forward motion was turned to the right at a 90-degree angle, and I was now facing Salisbury instead of my planned direction, which was now 180 degrees in the opposite direction. Another car had struck mine, altering the trajectory of my Rambler American, knocking me 90 degrees to the right. People talk about being “knocked into the middle of next week,” but even though my father was a strict disciplinarian, he had never done that. The car which had just hit mine, although not knocking me into the middle of next week, had put me a good ways toward the end of that current one. The make of the other car was a Pontiac Lemans. The gentleman exited his car, made an expletive, then added “I just bought this car!” His countenance immediately changed, and he asked, with a seemingly great deal of concern, “Are you okay?” We chatted, a state trooper came by and we filled out some necessary paperwork. (The trooper also filled out some paperwork which he presented to me.) The trooper left, and then so did the gentleman. I noticed two little metal nameplates which had been knocked off of the cars by the accident. One spelled out “American” (my Rambler), and the other spelled out “LeMans” (his Pontiac). I picked them up and kept them for a while, although just why, I don’t know. They weren’t mementoes of some automotive sporting event, just remembrances of “failure to yield.”

Port-A-Pit Chicken fundraiser for Joe Endres is Saturday at East Rowan High bout 15 years ago, I met Joe Endres. Joe had come to the Salisbury area from Maryland and ended up employed at Catawba College. I was a plant manager for a large facility at the time, and Joe came highly recommended for polishing and refinishing office floors. This had flourished into a good side business. When I first met Joe, he seemed so energetic and enthusiastic that it made me wonder if he was genuine. Joe ended up getting the contract to do the floors, and did such a good job that my girlfriend used him in her house. She was way more picky than me. I got to know Joe even more, and found that Joe was one of the DAVID most positive and upFREEZE beat people I had ever met. He was easy to like and fun to be around. Joe dabbled with running and lifting

weights, had played football in college, and he always looked to be in great shape. Somewhere along the way, Dennis Davidson and I had a conversation about Joe. Dennis is the Catawba College athletic director and a member of our local running club. Dennis told me that Joe had leukemia, and was taking treatment for it. Knowing this, it became even more amazing that his outlook on life was always so upbeat. Along about this time, I first met Joe’s wife Connie. Connie works for the Farrington Medical Center in Faith, but best of all, she shares Joe’s positive approach to life. Joe eventually became employed in the maintenance department at East Rowan High School. He needed a second job about three years ago, and I was fortunate to have a part-time job to offer him at the YMCA. Once again, he and I were working together. He met me most mornings with something like “I bet you had a

SUBMITTeD PhOTO

JOE ENDRES good run this morning, I can see it in your eyes!” To a longtime runner, nothing could have hit the spot as well. Joe took a genuine interest in those around him and became friends with many of the Y members. Most never knew that he had leukemia, even though he always took time to worry about their issues. Just about a year ago, Joe started to have some problems with his

breathing. His running was reduced to short distances because coughing and gasping for air wouldn’t allow more. He didn’t have the strength to lift his weights anymore. Joe already had lots of medical bills, but now he had to visit more doctors to explore what was happening to him. Over the winter, Joe would join me to throw a softball several times a week in the gym. My intent was to get my arm in shape for the upcoming season, but Joe seemed to like it, too. It was a way to exercise that he could still do, though some days I could tell that he was really tired by the end. His doctors couldn’t find anything and thought that asthma might be the issue. An inhaler made no difference and Joe continued to worsen. Eventually, he had lung surgery intended to see what was happening inside. The surgery was hard on Joe, with his healing coming very slowly. Other issues developed because of his weakened immune system. Finally in July, the answer

came. Joe’s leukemia had spread cancer cells into his lungs for the first time. His situation was diagnosed as serious, and Joe is now taking heavy duty chemotherapy treatments at Duke Medical Center. Connie reports “We are just worrying about today, hoping to stay ahead of the co-pays for our insurance.” His coworkers at East High have been donating their sick days to keep his benefits in place but mounting bills have become a huge cause for concern. Joe can’t work now, and he doesn’t know when he will be able to return. Throughout the ordeal, both Joe and Connie remain upbeat and expect to beat the disease. On Saturday, “Friends of Joe” will gather at East Rowan High for a celebration of “Joe’s Day.” There will be a Port-a- Pit barbecue chicken fundraiser from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. A Zumbathon lasts from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m..

China Grove board to discuss hazard mitigation plan BY SHAVONNE POTTS spotts@salisburypost.com

CHINA GROVE — The China Grove board will discuss a hazard mitigation plan, which has been discussed in other municipalities, during its meeting Tuesday. The plan details guidelines for responding to natural hazards. The multi-jurisdictional plan must be updated every five years to continue qualification for mitigation grants

and disaster assistance funding. The federal government mandates that a plan be submitted. Rowan County Emergency Services Director Frank Thomason is informing other municipalities of this plan. The board will also: • Discuss a fire department grant. In August the Kannapolis Walmart presented grants to several local agencies during its re-opening. The China Grove Fire Department is one

of those agencies. • Discuss fire department renovations. The town has been in talks to renovate/expand the police and fire stations. • Discuss a bicycle dedication. • Discuss a utility merger. • Hold a closed session to discuss an evaluation of Town Manager Bill Pless. The board meets at 7 p.m. at Town Hall, 205 Swink St. Contact Shavonne Potts at 704-797-4253.

Despite grant money, charter school limit remains RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina’s big victory in President Barack Obama’s “Race to the Top” grant competition has charter school boosters playing from behind again in the state’s latest round of education reform. Charter school advocates warned Gov. Beverly Perdue and lawmakers in January that the state’s chances of landing hundreds of millions of dollars to carry out a plan to improve teacher quality, student performance and career preparation would be slim unless the state’s 100-charter cap in place since 1996 was lifted and funding disparities eliminated. North Carolina’s application scored well off the pace set by the two winning states in March, and its poor marks for charter schools — public schools run by independent boards and exempt from many regulations traditional schools must follow to try new techniques or focus on at-risk chil-

dren — had much to do with its low ranking among the finalists. But North Carolina was one of nine states that won in the second round late last month in part because of state law changes pushed by Perdue to create “charter-like” schools, while avoiding the cap issue, according to an analysis of scores and comments by the application reviewers. As state educators go to Washington later this week to work out exactly how much of the $400 million sought will be received, the charter school community is flummoxed about how North Carolina won. “I see it as a step backward for North Carolina for true educational reform,” said Darrell Allison with Parents for Educational Freedom in North Carolina. State schools Superintendent June Atkinson said North Carolina won because its application improved over the first round.

The Obama administration had touted charter schools last year as a winning strategy but decided later that alternate models were acceptable. “We did a much better job in explaining our initiatives around innovative schools,” Atkinson said. “I don’t think that a cap on charter schools was a deal breaker for getting Race to the Top.” The scoring appears to bear out her argument. The states that won the Race to the Top awards in two rounds of applications scored the highest on a scale of up to 500 points. They could receive a maximum of 40 points by showing they created successful conditions for “high-performing charter schools and other innovative schools.” In the first round ending in March, North Carolina received only 23.4 points from the five application reviewers — the secondworst score among the finalists.

Hope, local Doctor and a remarkable invention help severe back, neck and disc pain sufferers Special drugless, painless severe back, neck & disc pain consultations being given away free for Kannapolis and surrounding area residents who qualify… Doctor announces the unconventional protocol patients report helps their severe back, neck & disc pain, but the Doctor and his weary staff under the crush of demand from suffering local Kannapolis and surrounding area patients may be forced to stop all consultations temporarily Kannapolis, North Carolina – Everyone who suffers with severe back, disc or neck pain hates the frustration, limitation and uncertainty that go with it. But worse than that is the frustration and anxiety that comes with trying treatment after treatment and being confronted with the grim reality that you’re facing the prospect of painful spinal injections or worse yet… invasive surgery. Well now, the widely known doctor and clinic director at the Kannapolis Spine & Wellness Center is giving away his expertise for free to all Kannapolis and surrounding area residents for at least the next 72 hours. The only action readers have to take is calling the Severe Back, Disc & Neck Pain Hotline before all of the appointment times are taken. Dr. Andrew R. Matthews, DC has taken this radical step in offering his expertise in the form of a no cost no obligation consultation in response to the growing frustrations of Kannapolis and surrounding area severe back, disc and neck pain sufferers. Frustration spawned from doctors that treat them without the respect and or compassion they deserve and frustration resulting from the fear that there just might be “no hope” for a full recovery. On the heels of the Summer’s demand for improved health and more active lifestyles and just in time for Fall, here’s an opportunity to see if most of the Kannapolis and surrounding area’s severe back, disc and neck pain sufferers can truly love life again.

met with rave reviews; so many rave reviews that it’s almost hard to believe. Well the good news is that this hard working, humble, soft-spoken, incredibly attentive, sensitive and compassionate doctor has created an interesting bind that has forced him to limit the number of free consultations he is able to offer. “We realize how many people are out there that are needlessly suffering and yet I also realize that what sets me apart is the fact that I’m willing to take the time each and every patient needs in order to not only help them get better but also to help them feel heard. I knew those with chronic pain needed our brand of caring… I just underestimated how much and because of the overwhelming

response I’ve been forced to limit the number of consultations I can do. Just so I can continue to offer the personal and direct support each of my patients deserves.” This is what Dr. Andrew R. Matthews, DC confirmed when asked about limiting free consultations to area severe pain sufferers. Dr. Matthews also confirmed that if you call the Severe Back, Disc & Neck Pain Hotline within 72 hours of the publication of this article he would guarantee readers that they’d receive an appointment with him personally. Dr. Matthews also said, “We can’t accept all patients, but we bend over backwards for ones we do.”

The value of your free consultation is over $247 and probably more important than the money you save is the opportunity to sit down with the confidence in knowing that relief for your severe back, disc or neck pain is on its WAY. So whether you’ve got pain in your back, herniated disc, slipped disc, bulging disc, sciatica, numbness, pain in the groin or hip… no matter what treatments have failed you this is your ONE opportunity to possibly END all your pain and frustration and get your life back once and for all.

“I could tell a difference with my first treatment…It has been a wonderful and priceless experience to me!” “I had a fall and injured my back two years ago. I have had three epidurals in my back plus back surgery a year ago, without success or relief from pain in my back and leg. I returned to the surgeon only to receive more steroid shots to my leg & knee with no relief from pain, and I could hardly walk. I could tell a difference with my first treatment with spinal decompression. I have been able to get back to cleaning my house, shopping, walking and enjoying life again. I no longer have the pain in my leg & back. It has been a wonderful and priceless experience to me!” ~ Marlene T.

“I’ve had shots and different medications, but now I don’t need them.” “When I first came to see Dr. Matthews, I couldn’t walk, lift or bend. Dr. Matthews started me on the Spinal Decompression machine, and after the first treatment, I could walk again! I could drive without a pillow behind my back. I’ve had shots and different medications but now I don’t need them. Dr. Matthews also taught me exercises and taught me how to lift correctly so I don’t hurt myself. I recommend Dr. Matthews and this machine. And they are all so sweet here. They will help you in any way they possibly can.” ~ Bobby M.

“The orthopedic doctor suggested surgery…the treatment allowed the discs to heal…Surgery is no longer needed!” “I was diagnosed with spinal stenosis and a bulging disc in my lower back about two years ago. I had horrific pain in my back, buttocks, legs and feet. I was living on pain medication daily. I then moved to epidural shots which did not work, and then finally the orthopedic doctor suggested surgery. After doing decompression therapy, I am now at least 90 to 95% pain free. The treatment allowed the discs to heal relieving the pressure on the sciatic nerve. I thank God for Dr. Matthews and the lumbar decompression system. Surgery is no longer needed!” ~ Jerry B.

tribes in Vermont.) Over the years, the Vermont attorney generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office has questioned the Abenaki tribeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heritage in Vermont and opposed federal recognition, which the Missisquoi tribe was denied in 2007. The new law and commission are a step toward state recognition, commission members and legislators say. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not about casinos, land grabs,â&#x20AC;? said state Sen. Diane Snelling, R-Chittenden, co-sponsor. The law is intended to address the shortcomings of a bill passed in 2006 that created the commission and recognized the Abenaki as a minority population in Vermont, but failed to allow them to label their crafts as Native American. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more objective than a bill that failed in 2007 that would have recognized three distinct bands of Abenaki, Snelling said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We tried to figure it out who qualified before. There was a lot of energy around, â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Well, some tribes just automatically qualify.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; ... Now theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll set some standards and then everybody who meets the standards is in,â&#x20AC;? she said. Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia have state-recognized tribes, said Ken Van Wey, program assistant for the Indian Arts and Crafts Board, which is part of the U.S. Department of Interior. North Carolina and Virginia have commissions that identify tribes that are not federally recognized, for the purposes of selling arts and crafts. The Vermont law changed the makeup of the commission, and expanded it from seven members to nine. Members must be Vermont residents for at least three years and from a diversity of affiliations and areas of the state. The commission includes several members in their 20s. The law also set up a process for tribes to be recognized by showing that they

MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Members of Vermont Indian tribes have renewed hope for state recognition, which some have been seeking for decades and the Abenaki tribe needs to sell its signature baskets and other crafts as Indian-made. A new state law creates a process for a Vermont commission to recommend tribal recognition, which the Abenaki hope will also allow them to seek federal funding for education and other benefits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just for us. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for kids, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for our grandkids,â&#x20AC;? said Dawn Macie, 51, of Rutland, a member of the Nulhegan band of the Abenaki. Gov. Jim Douglas appointed Macie, who makes Abenaki drums, jewelry and bags, to the revamped commission, which will meet for the first time next month. Under federal law, artisans must be members of state- or federally recognized tribes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or be certified as nonmember Indian artisans by a tribe â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to sell their wares as Indian-made. Such labeling of crafts would allow the tribe to â&#x20AC;&#x153;really sell them for what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re worth,â&#x20AC;? Macie said. Drums that sell for $90 to $130 could go for up to $200, she said. Handmade, intricately woven grass and splint ash baskets range from $20 to more than $1,000. At least 1,700 Vermonters say they are direct descendants of the Western Abenaki tribes that inhabited all Vermont and New Hampshire, and parts of Maine, Quebec and New York for hundreds of years before the arrival of the Europeans. They include the Missisquoi and Cowasuck Abenaki who farmed the river floodplains of Vermont at least as long ago as 1100s AD, the law said. But the state of Vermont has been reluctant to recognize the Abenaki, in the past fearing it could bolster one tribeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bid to win federal recognition, which opponents said could lead to land claims and gambling casinos.

The emergency call sounded much worse than it actually was: Vehicle vs. motorcycle, two riders down. N.C. Highway Patrol troopers sped to the scene at the intersection of Sherills Ford Road and White Road Sunday night expecting the worst, they said. When they arrived, they said they were relieved to learn the car and motorcycle never came into contact. The driver of the motorcycle, Charles Vermillion, 49, of Statesville, and his female passenger suffered minor injuries when a car in front of them slowed to turn left onto White Road. The motorcycle driver locked his brakes and lost control, sliding along the street, according to Trooper A.J. Carpenter. Vermillion was able to pick up the bike himself and move it to the side of the road. Vermillion and his passenger, whose name was not available, were transported to Rowan Regional Medical Center. Karla Rivera was the driver of the car. No charges were filed.

Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d never thought about it until some colleagues approached her in 2001. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was honored that my colleagues deemed me worthy of the bench and viewed the challenge as a wonderful opportunity to serve the community that I love.â&#x20AC;? This is her third election.

FROM 1a of resisting, obstructing or delaying an officer in the performance of his duties following a traffic stop on her street. Gibson did not follow Police Officer Mark Hunterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s initial orders to go into her home while an arrest was being made in the street nearby. The case has sparked debate. Although it was not cited as a factor in her arrest or conviction, Gibson had been videotaping the police and advocates of such action by citizens have attacked Dixon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Canons of Judicial Ethics prohibit a judge from public comment on the merits of a case pending in any state or federal court. It would be impossible to speak about the Gibson matter without violating this Canon,â&#x20AC;? Dixon wrote. Dixon obtained her bachelor of arts degree from Converse College in 1986 and her law degree from the University of South Carolina School of Law in 1989. Dixon and her husband, Glenn, live in Salisbury and have four children: Roy, Spencer, Grace and Susannah. Challenger Doug Smith received his law degree from the University of South Dakota in 1997. He also has a masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in business administration from Mercer University. Smith worked as an assistant district attorney under Rowan County District Attorney Bill Kenerly for three years before entering private practice. The last nine years, Smith has practiced law in both the District and Superior Court divisions. In an interview with the Post, Smith said his goal if elected is to change the flow of the court process. He would be cognizant of the time spent in court, he said, by witnesses, prosecutors, defendants and attorneys. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some lose a dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth of work,â&#x20AC;? he said. He also noted that attorneys sometimes divide their time between three or more courtrooms. His experience sitting in the courtroom as a prosecutor and an attorney working with criminal and civil cases, Smith said, gives him a â&#x20AC;&#x153;unique ability to size upâ&#x20AC;? whether a case fits into the system, be it a

plea or trial. Smith opposes the movement to fill judicial positions by appointments or through retention elections rather than popular vote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The community should have a say as to who they want making the decisions,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wrong to take that choice out of good citizensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hands and put them in the hands of a small group.â&#x20AC;? He said people want a judge who can preside fairly and impartially in a case involving them. Smith said he believes the hardest part of being a judge is having to determine where children will live and setting bonds in cases where people are charged with very serious crimes. Smith called running for judge a continuation of his public service, which includes working as an emergency medical technician, serving in the military and working as a prosecutor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I enjoy meeting people. I enjoy helping people. If the voters of Rowan County decide they wish me to be their next district court judge, I will not only honor that vote of confidence, but I will apply the work ethic that traditionally is steeped in my profession,â&#x20AC;? he said. Smith said it would be inappropriate to comment on the impact the publicity surrounding the Felicia Gibson case might have on this race. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Any remarks made to that situation specifically should be refrained,â&#x20AC;? he said. Smith quoted a â&#x20AC;&#x153;very well respected member of the benchâ&#x20AC;? in saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;a judge

The message on Gary Sims’ T-shirt — ‘Serving others’ — applies to his life. Instead of having a big party to celebrate his 50th birthday, Sims and friends will put on a fundraiser to benefit Relay for Life.

Cities can grow through force Regarding the Sept. 10 article “Salisbury population tops 32,000”: So Salisbury has grown by population and in area; now just how much of that was by force? And if by force, is it legitimate growth? It is a very strange situation that allows a city to say it is growing, but can only do so by forcing private property owners and their properties into its boundaries! A former city councilman who strongly touts forced annexation, now running for Rowan County commissioner, should consider this: Many states and cities take pride in that fact that they do not annex by force. Believe it or not, their growth rate exceeds those who use force. Very few states allow a municipality to take the private property of county citizens without a vote of the citizens. North Carolina is one of the

he Herald-Sun in Durham is doing what many news organizations have considered — cutting off the comments on its website. The paper posted the following message: “The Herald-Sun has suspended the comments feature on our site.

ast week Dr. Stephen Hawking announced that God was not necessary. It is his belief that the universe came into being on its own by simply following the laws of physics. In his famous book “A Brief History of Time.” he explained that random events can eventually produce order simply by chance. He said that monkeys typing on typewriters could eventually type out one of Shakespeare’s sonnets. Some students at Plymouth University in Britain decided to check Hawking’s argument. They placed a computer keyboard inside the monkey house at the zoo in Devon. After a month, six monkeys had failed to produce a single English word. If a sonnet contains 500 letters using 26 letters, the probability of getting the sonnet by random chance is one out of the number 1 followed by 700 zeroes. His recent statement also ignores the current crisis in physics. During the 1800s, Lord Kelvin stated that all of the major problems in science had been solved and all that was left was just the details. He was most certainly a genius, but in this case completely wrong. Last year the Large Hadron Collider went into operation as the world’s largest particle accelerator. This giant underground tunnel, which is 17 miles in circumference, is designed to smash protons together at incredible speed. The cost of this international science project was over $9 billion. After some initial problems the first particle collision occurred in November. Why in the world would scientists go to such tremendous effort and expense just to smash subatomic particles together? Well, we really do not know what this newspaper is made of. Yes, we teach students that everything is made up of atoms consisting of electrons, protons and neutrons. However, at the nanoscale, parASSOCIATED PRESS ticles seem to folPhysicist Stephen Hawk- low rules that reing says God wasn’t nec- quire more than essary for the creation of our normal three spatial dimensions. the universe.

We have many theoretical models but are a long way from proof. At the other end of the scale, astronomers have discovered that a great deal of the stuff the universe is made of seems to be missing, based on observations. This missing matter is called Dark Matter. This observation is directly related to the experiments of the Large Hadron Collider. There must be some other forms of matter that make up a large portion of the universe. Also, the expansion of the universe seems to be accelerating, but we don’t know why. A theoretical force known as Dark Energy is the current explanation. Some physicists have even stated that Einstein’s theories of gravity may be flawed at some level. We still do not know how subatomic particles produce the spacetime curvature of gravity. Mathematicians have discovered another problem. From a purely mathematical point of view, the laws of physics seem to be precisely tuned to produce our universe. If any of the forces of nature were just a little stronger or weaker, the universe as we know it could not exist. This is a concept known as the “Anthropic Principle,” in which the laws of nature seem to be designed for our existence. This has created such a problem among atheist and agnostic scientists that they have struggled to find a way out of their theoretical black hole. They then came up with the Multiverse Theory. It states that this must be just one of many universes, with each one having different laws of physics. Therefore, they say we just got lucky and ended up in the right universe. They also have zero evidence for this idea. Most students are taught that life sprang spontaneously out of a primordial soup, but no lab in the world has ever made a cell from chemicals. How could it happen by chance? Biology students are also taught that during the 17th century Francesco Redi proved spontaneous generation cannot produce life. Brilliant scientists like Lord Kelvin can be wrong. Like Dr. Hawking, you can believe that humans and a perfect environment happened by random chance, or step out of the darkness into the light and acknowledge the existence of a Creator. • • • Joe D.

worst offenders in this respect. After all, what is the fear in allowing the people to vote? Who fears that, in the United States of America, the principles of democracy would be put into action? The answer is obvious: Those who do not represent the people. Forced annexation is notan issue that will go away on its own or might never affect someone. On the contrary, the right of all North Carolinians to representation is at stake in the Legislature, and the problem of forced annexation will only get worse and more farreaching over time if we continue to allow it to exist. It should go without saying that whenever freedom and representation are at stake, all citizens of this state have the obligation and duty to defend them without hesitation. I hope our voters will remember in November those who have failed to fulfill this duty. I strongly recommend their replacement by those who will stand for us, the citizens, and our rights as property owners. — Marie Howell Rowan County (unincorporated)

“The truth shall make you free”

My Turn: Joe D. Teeter

My God can handle those who ‘offend’ Ol’ Allah must be a pretty small god, different from the God of the Jews and Jesus. I mean, some guy named Rushdie writes a book revealing the true intent of Islam, according to the last part of the Koran, and suddenly Rushdie is on a death list. Some cartoons Muslims don’t like are published in a Dutch newspaper, and there is another death list. Some Florida pastor said he would burn copies of the Koran, and there were threats of violence against America, including some “cleric” in Afghanistan who said American children would be murdered if the burning took place. An imam in New York says if they can’t build their mosque where they want to, there will be violence. All this from a peaceful (??) religion? But back to the God of Jesus. If someone wants to buy copies of the Bible to burn, OK. My God is big enough to handle that and will punish as necessary. He doesn’t need me or any other Christian making threats of murder and violence. But apparently Allah needs help. Despite the number of people who have been killed in the name of Christianity, Jesus never commanded “convert of kill.” Instead, Jesus says to witness His love and forgiveness of sin. The people who wish us harm just because we are Americans and have freedom don’t need reasons or provocations to kill us. I wonder where their tolerance is. Showing our enemies that we mean no harm is warm and fuzzy, but enemies see this as a sign of weakness. After all, the schoolyard bully didn’t pick on kids who fought back. And turning the other cheek is impossible when you’re dead. Finally, it’s a good thing our president is so loved and respected by the Muslim world. Otherwise, there could be threats of violence against us. — Jeff Vail

Residents return to scorched Colo. homes BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — Colorado crews let hundreds of evacuees return to their scorched homes Sunday as investigators probed the cause of a devastating wildfire that has burned 10 square miles near Boulder. A senior law enforcement official familiar with the investigation told the Denver Post that authorities are looking into whether a fire pit sparked the blaze, which could mean criminal charges are possible. The newspaper did not name the official. Authorities previously said the fire may have started after a vehicle crashed into a propane tank. The sheriff’s office is aware of the Post article but won’t comment on the cause or origin of the fire because it’s under investigation, said Sarah Huntley, a spokeswoman for fire response. Utility workers were restoring electricity to homes where about 2,000 residents have been allowed to return in the rugged foothills above Boulder. Much of the area is dangerous because of downed power lines and poles, damaged roads and exposed mine shafts, officials said. In Loveland, about 35 miles northeast of Boulder, crews battled a separate wildfire that was less than a square mile and destroyed a home, said Merlin Green, the division chief for Loveland Fire and Rescue. Merlin said it appeared that no one was in the home and no injuries had been reported. Six agencies were working the fire and six air tankers were dropping retardant on the fire that forced people within a four-mile radius to evacuate.

GOP leader would consider tax cuts for middle class only WASHINGTON (AP) — House Minority Leader John Boehner says he would vote for President Obama’s plan to extend tax cuts only for middle-class earners, not the wealthy, if that were the only option available to House Republicans. Boehner, R-Ohio, said it is “bad policy” to exclude the highest-earning Americans from tax relief during the recession. But he said he wouldn’t block the breaks for middle-income individuals and families if Democrats won’t support the full package. Income tax cuts passed under President George W. Bush will expire at the end of this year unless Congress acts and Obama signs the bill. Obama said he would support continuing the lower tax rates for couples earning up to $250,000 or single taxpayers making up to $200,000. But he and the Democratic leadership in Congress refused to back continued lower rates for the fewer than 3 percent of Americans who make more than that. The cost of extending the tax cuts for everyone for the next 10 years would approach $4 trillion, according to congressional estimates. Eliminating the breaks for the top earners would reduce that bill by about $700 billion. Boehner’s comments signaled a possible break in the logjam that has prevented passage of a tax bill, although

Republicans would still force Democrats to vote on their bigger tax-cut package in the final weeks before the November congressional elections.

Regulators: Calif. gas pipeline in deadly blast ranked high risk SAN BRUNO, Calif. (AP) — Federal and state investigators say the section of natural gas pipeline that ruptured and exploded in a deadly fireball near San Francisco had been categorized as high risk because it ran through a highly populated area. Documents obtained by the Associated Press showed Pacific Gas & Electric submitted paperwork to regulators that said a section of the same gas line — about two and half miles from the blast — was within “the top 100 highest risk line sections” in the utility’s service territory. A PG&E spokesman confirmed Sunday that the section of pipe mentioned in the documents was on the same line as the segment that ruptured and located several miles north of the explosion. The federal Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration said PG&E had classified the 30-inch diameter transmission line as a “high consequence area” requiring more stringent inspections called integrity assessments, agency spokeswoman Julia Valentine said. Nationwide, only about 7 percent of gas lines have that classification, she said.

Tea partiers seek to spread message ahead of elections SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Tea party activists gathered in cities on each coast and in between Sunday to spread their message of smaller government and focus their political movement on the pivotal congressional elections in November. Several thousand people marched along Pennsylvania Avenue from the Washington Monument to the Capitol, many carrying signs reading “Congress You’re Fired” and “Let Failures Fail” and “Impeach Obama.” “It wouldn’t bother me to make a clean sweep,” said Michael Power of Decatur, Ala., endorsing term limits for members of Congress. “There are some good ones, but we can lose those.” In Sacramento, an estimated 4,000 people poured into the former McClellan Air Force Base site for the “United to the Finish” rally — far fewer than the 25,000 to 50,000 crowd organizers had predicted. Leslie and Gary Morrison of Redding drove south to Sacramento with their dog Phoebe, just two weeks after flying to Washington to attend a large rally hosted by conservative commentator Glenn Beck. They said they liked the feeling of solidarity at the tea party events.

Iran may release American woman TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — After a power struggle within Iran’s conservative leader-

ship put her freedom in doubt, an American woman arrested more than a year ago along the Iraq border is on the verge of heading home. Her two companions, however, could be on their way to spy trials. Sarah Shourd could be released in the “next two or three days” — or even sooner — after $500,000 bail is paid, said Masoud Shafiei, the Iranian lawyer for Shourd and the other detained Americans, Shane Bauer and Josh Fattal. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had personally promised Shourd’s release on Friday as a sign of Islamic compassion at the end of the holy month of Ramadan but was quickly slammed down by the judiciary — which turned around Sunday and set its own ground rules, including the bail amount. Swiss diplomats, who represent U.S. interests in Iran because the two countries do not have direct diplomatic relations, were making arrangements to post bail. “Based on the judiciary decision, the lady will be released,” Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said at a news conference. But as Iranian authorities paved the way for Shourd’s release on health grounds, they also appeared to be moving their espionage accusations into high gear. Tehran’s chief prosecutor Abbas Jafari Dowlatabadi said indictments against the three Americans were issued Sunday and the prosecution’s case is nearly complete.

Chile mine crews may have to start over on rescue tunnel SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) — Chile’s mining minister acknowledged that a problem has stalled the most advanced of three tunnels being drilled to 33 miners trapped underground and said officials might have to restart the bore hole in another location. But Laurence Golborne insisted Sunday the setback is within the range of problems foreseen by authorities before the rescue began, and does not significantly alter the expected timeline for getting the men out. Work on boring the hole stopped last week when a drill struck an iron support beam for a mine shaft at about 900 feet, destroying a drill bit. A replacement part was rushed from the United States, but engineers have so far failed to recover all of the broken metal using magnets. “If we are unable to remove that bit, the hole would not be able to continue,” Golborne said late Saturday. He said authorities planned three bore-holes from the beginning precisely in anticipation of such problems, and he met with relatives of the miners Sunday to assure them that the rescue is still on track Some family members reported that their trapped loved ones sent messages to the surface saying they became concerned when the sound of drilling above them ceased.

Igor strengthens to Category 4 MIAMI (AP) — Forecasters say Hurricane Igor has rapidly strengthened to a Category 4 storm in the open Atlantic. It doesn’t immediately threaten land, but is expected to get stronger as it moves west. Meanwhile, a tropical depression off the coast of Africa prompted officials to issue a tropical storm warning for parts of the Cape Verde Islands on Sunday.

Igor had maximum sustained winds of 140 mph and was moving west at 14 mph. Some additional strengthening is expected in the next two days. The center of the storm was located about 1,065 miles east of the Northern Leeward Islands.

Forecasters also warned that the newly formed depression could strengthen into a tropical storm as early as Sunday night. The storm warning was issued for the southern Cape Verde Islands, including Maio, Sao Tiago, Fogo and Brava.

Nurses attend to a newborn baby found in a garbage bag unloaded from an airplane sunday at Manila’s international airport, Philippines.

MANILA, Philippines (AP) — An airport security officer found a newborn baby in a garbage bag apparently unloaded from an airplane that landed in the Philippines on Sunday from the Middle East, officials said. Security officials brought the boy, who was covered in blood and wrapped in tissue paper, to an airport clinic, where doctors and nurses examined him and cleaned him, wrapped him in cloth and gave him a bottle of milk, airport officials said. “After he was cleaned, he let off a soft cry,” airport

nurse Kate Calvo said. “He was healthy, his vital signs were OK according to our doctors.” A security officer noticed something moving in a garbage bag that was reportedly unloaded from a Gulf Air plane that arrived from Bahrain and found the baby inside, an airport statement said. The baby was later turned over to social workers posted at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport. Gulf Air officials were not immediately available for comment. Social Welfare Secretary

Harley unions to vote on Wisconsin labor contract MILWAUKEE (AP) — Harley-Davidson employees in Wisconsin are being asked to vote in favor of a labor contract that will freeze their pay, slash hundreds of jobs and hand large volumes of work to part-time workers. As bleak as the proposal sounds, employees may have little choice but to accept it. If they don’t, Harley-Davidson Motor Co. has threatened to move its last two Wisconsin operations to another state, leaving about 1,350 employees out of work. Employees are scheduled to vote on the proposed seven-year contract today. The results should be available by the evening. The Milwaukee-based motorcycle company blames its hardball tactics on finances. It says labor costs at its Milwaukee and Tomahawk plants are too high and it only makes sense to keep them open if the workers agree to labor concessions. Tom Koltz, who has worked at the company for 22 years, doesn’t buy that explanation. The 56-year-old from Cudahy acknowledged the tough economic climate but said Harley is turning its back on longtime loyal workers. The company could have asked the union to help work out a fair compromise, he said. Instead, Harley is “putting the squeeze on us,” said Koltz, a product-development mechanic. “This is a downright attempt to crush

Dinky Soliman said she was angered by what happened, adding that police have been ordered to search for the infant’s mother, who could be criminally charged. “I was simply outraged, no infant should be treated that way,” Soliman said. She said the baby will be turned over to the mother’s relatives or put up for adoption. Many Filipinos are forced to work as maids and laborers abroad, including the Middle East, to escape crushing poverty and unemployment at home.

the union.” A number of items in the proposed contract — which the company called its lone and final offer — could give workers pause. At least 200 jobs would be slashed in Milwaukee and about 75 jobs could be cut in Tomahawk in northern Wisconsin. The company could then bring in temporary, or “casual,” workers, to work at about half the hourly rate and with virtually no benefits. Where a full-time production technician would make $30.50 per hour, a comparable casual worker would make $16.80 per hour. Most long-term workers also would be subject to a seven-year wage freeze, although there are provisions for tentative raises in the final two years. Even though workers may be disappointed by the contract, Harley’s three unions have encouraged them to approve it — perhaps because they have little leverage. Harley made no secret of the fact that it’s been scouting out replacement facilities in other states. Harley spokesman Bob Klein has declined to say which sites — or how many — were under consideration, but after union officials revealed Kansas City, Mo., was a possibility, Klein confirmed it was one option. Klein said depending on how the votes turn out, the company could decide its next steps as early as Tuesday.

bany. The EPA is taking comment on how broadly to construct its study of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, a technique for releasing natural gas from rock formations thousands of feet underground by injecting at high pressure millions of gallons of water mixed with chemicals and sand. Congress directed the EPA to take a new look at fracking as gas drillers swarm to the lucrative Marcellus Shale region beneath Pennsylvania, New York, West Virginia and Ohio and other shale reserves around the country. Concerns that the process can poison private wells and water aquifers have driven opposition, while the industry insists there’s no evidence linking fracking to any contaminated water sources.

Harvick must start over when the Chase begins BY JENNA FRYER Associated Press

RICHMOND, Va. — Kevin Harvick started Saturday night’s race at Richmond International Raceway with a firm hold on the Sprint Cup Series standings. When the race ends, so will his reign as the points leader. The 10-race Chase format jumbles the 12driver field, and all points are reset and padded by the bonuses earned through victories. Regardless of where Harvick finished Saturday night, his 219-point lead over Jeff Gordon will AssociAted press evaporate and he won’t be the leader headed into chase drivers are, front row, from left: Kevin Harvick, Jeff Burton, Jimmie Johnson and clint next week’s Chase opener at New Hampshire. Even if Harvick won Richmond, he’d at best Bowyer. second row: denny Hamlin, Matt Kenseth, carl edwards, Greg Biffle, Kurt Busch, be seeded third in the Chase standings, behind tony stewart, Kyle Busch and Jeff Gordon.

Simpson now at Brevard

four-time defending champion Jimmie Johnson and Denny Hamlin, who went into Richmond with five wins each. Harvick started the race with three victories. Based on how well he’s been running, and his position as a favorite to dethrone Johnson, regaining the points lead should be no problem, right? Well, history isn’t exactly on his side. Since the Chase began in 2004, the driver who held the points lead at the end of the regular season has only won the championship once. Tony Stewart did it in 2005, winning five races before the Chase began then wrapped up the title with seven top-10 finishes in the 10 Chase races.

Area athletes update ... Former West Rowan pitcher Zack Simpson has found a home with Brevard’s baseball program. The tall lefty was 1710 in three years on the West varsity and struck out 143 batters in 136 innings. He was SIMPSON all-county as a sophomore and as a senior. Simpson was 8-2 his sophomore year, including a dramatic 2-1 playoff victory at Marvin Ridge, but he experienced physical setbacks as a junior. He came back strong as a senior and pitched much better than his 5-4 record would indicate. He posted an ERA of 2.05. Simpson hit .300 for the Falcons as a senior and played first base, but he’ll concentrate on pitching in college. He’s likely to get opportunities right away with the Tornados, who were 2-22 in the SAC last season. West coach David Wright said Simpson got a substantial offer from new Brevard coach Matt McCay. Minor leagues Los Angeles Dodgers prospect Jerry Sands (Catawba) finished the season with 35 homers, tied for third in the minor leagues. Baseball America recently named Sands as the first team left fielder on its allstar team for all the minor leagues. Not bad for a 25thround draft pick. Pro basketball Antonio Houston (Catawba) has signed with UMFN Njardvik in the Iceland Express League, while Donald Rutherford (Catawba) will play in Denmark with SISU Copenhagen.  West Rowan fans have a new favorite team in Europe. Holland’s Upstairs Weert — how’s that for a weird name — has signed former Falcon heroes Junior Hairston and Donte Minter. Hairston was productive in Turkey last HAIRSTON season, averaging 13 points and seven boards. Terence Stansbury, a Slam Dunk Contest regular during his NBA career, coaches Upstairs Weert.

Panthers open with loss BY BARRY WILNER Associated Press

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Once they got cozy in their Giants 31 new digs, the New Panthers 18 York Giants weren’t about to let Carolina spoil their homecoming. It took the Giants more than a half to fully feel comfortable in their $1.6 billion stadium. Then they surged past the Panthers, getting a little revenge along the way, in a 31-18 season-opening victory Sunday. “It was a whole new half, and all the errors we made were out the window,” said Hakeem Nicks, who caught three touchdown passes from Eli Manning, all

in the left corner of the end zone. “We just wanted to go out there and click.” Did they ever. Ahmad Bradshaw set up his own 4yard TD run in the fourth quarter with a 39-yard romp as New York outscored Carolina 17-2 in the second half. The Giants outgained the Panthers 196-72 in the last two periods of a generally sloppy game marred by nine turnovers — five by Carolina — and 16 penalties. “We’ll learn from what we did wrong and capitalize on it next week,” Nicks said. Actually, they learned quickly enough to take advantage right away against a team that routed them 41-9 in the hosts’ final game at Giants Stadium last December. In 2005, the Panthers

shut out the Giants in a playoff game at the same venue. But Carolina couldn’t match New York in the second half this time before 77,245 fans — considered a sellout despite the unusual sight of hundreds of empty seats in the $1.6 billion New Meadowlands Stadium. The Giants could not sell all the club seats, which don’t count under league blackout rules. “It was a good win,” guard Rich Seubert said. “Everybody knew what happened against them last season. It’s always good when you open a new place, the new Giants Stadium, and get a win in it. It is going to be remembered for a long time.”

ISTANBUL — Kevin Durant 81 beamed U.S. 64 as he lisTurkey tened to his national anthem, which hadn’t been played at the end of the world championship in 16 years. And that was no “BTeam” standing beside him on the center of the medals platform. It was the best team in the world. The United States won its first world championship since 1994 on Sunday, beating Turkey 81-64 behind another sensational performance from the tournament MVP. Durant scored 28 points, setting a record along the way for most in the tournament by a U.S. player. He left the court with 42 seconds remaining and shared a long hug with coach Mike Krzyzewski, who finally won the world title after his previous two attempts ended with bronze medals. “Our only option was to come out here and get a gold, and it feels really good to bring this back home to the States,” Durant said. Lamar Odom added 15 points and 11 rebounds for the Americans, who won gold in the worlds for the fourth time, doing so with a team that was no sure thing after coming to Turkey without the superstars from its Olympic gold medal team. With Kobe Bryant, LeBron James and Co. sitting home, this group was called a “B-Team,” which the players were aware of and couldn’t wait to disprove. “I think that was extra motivation,” Durant said. “It was exciting to come out here and win.”

ACC’s dark day Virginia Tech’s defeat highlights horrid day for league BY HANK KURZ JR. Associated Press

BLACKSBURG, Va. — On a Saturday filled with marquee matchups, the Atlantic Coast Conference’s best got beat up all over. It looked more like the Atlantic Toast Conference. There was No. 13 Virginia Tech losing at home, 21-16, to James Madison of the Football Championship Subdivision, coach Frank Beamer’s first loss in 24 years to a lower-tier team. “It’s early in the season,” a clearly stunned Beamer said after his mistake-prone team’s second loss in a week. “We haven’t played in an ACC game and you work to get better.” Turns out, Frank, it might not take all that much to rule the ACC this year. Every ranked team in

the conference lost Saturday. At the Horseshoe in Columbus, Ohio, No. 2 Ohio State intercepted Miami’s Jacory Harris four times and turned their highly anticipated game into a walk for the Buckeyes, 36-24 over 12th-ranked Miami. Florida State had an even harder time with No. 10 Oklahoma. The No. 17 Seminoles allowed touchdowns the first four times the Sooners had the ball in what became a 47-17 blowout. And the No. 15 Yellow Jackets of Georgia Tech traveled to Kansas, a team coming off a loss to North Dakota State, and the Jayhawks put their bad loss behind them, winning 28-25. Virginia had a chance to take some of the sting

Rain halts U.S. Open

in the opening half, neither offense was particularly sharp. Each side made some big plays through the air, but so did the defenses, with Carolina’s Charles Godfrey and New York’s Deon Grant each making interceptions. John Kasay had field goals of 21, 52 and 43 yards. New York offset that MANNING thanks mostly to the Manning to Nicks connection, which produced touchdowns of 26 and 19 yards. Nicks’ second TD capped an 80yard drive that took just over a minute, but Mike Goodson’s 45-yard kickoff runback followed. That gave Moore 33 seconds, enough time to boost the Panthers ahead 1614 with a pinpoint 19-yard pass to Steve Smith between three defenders. It was the first touchdown for the Panthers, who never got into the end zone in the preseason. Yet that was about the last gasp for Carolina, the league’s youngest team. The inexperience showed in the last period, particularly when Moore was picked off by Terrell Thomas and Kenny Phillips, both in the end zone. For New York, the second-half stinginess was a welcome change from the final two games of 2009, when the Giants yielded 80 points.

PANTHERS FroM 1B

Associated Press

NEW YORK — A Monday men’s final is becoming a U.S. Open tradition. The championship match between Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic was postponed a day because of persistent rain Sunday, the third consecutive year that the season’s last major tournament won’t finish on schedule. The No. 1-seeded Nadal, bidding to complete a career Grand Slam, and No. 3 Djokovic were supposed to begin playing at 4:30 p.m. Sunday, but showers began more than 11⁄2 hours earlier and hadn’t stopped by 6:15 p.m., when tournament officials decided to call it a night. The final was rescheduled for 4 p.m. today, when the forecast calls

for a 20 percent chance of thunderstorms. Before 2008, the U.S. Open men’s final hadn’t been pushed to Monday since 1987. But Roger Federer beat Andy Murray on a Monday two years ago, then lost to Juan Martin del Potro on a Monday last year. This marks the first three-year string of delayed finishes at the tournament since the men’s and women’s singles competitions were combined and played at the same site in 1935. “It was a very uncertain forecast, and had been shifting over the course of the day. We are in a band of showers that potentially could stretch until 1 (a.m.),” U.S. Tennis Association spokesman Chris Widmaier said. “There may be breaks in there,

AssociAted press

RAFAEL NADAL but it was such an uncertain forecast that we felt the right thing to do for the players — and certainly for the fans — was to postpone the remaining matches until tomorrow.” Nadal and Djokovic were told a little before 6:30 p.m. that they wouldn’t be playing Sunday, Widmaier said. At 3 p.m., Djokovic was warming up on a practice court right outside Arthur Ashe Stadium.

Rising star Johnson wins BMW LEMONT, Ill. (AP) — Dustin Johnson won the BMW and eased a summer of Sunday disappointments. Playing in the final group for the fourth time since June, Johnson blasted a tee shot over the trees on the 17th hole at Cog Hill to set up a tap-in birdie and the outright lead. He closed with a 2-under 69 for a one-stroke victory over Paul Casey. It was the second victory this year for Johnson, a 26-year-old American who has quickly emerged

ACC FroM 1B out of the day for the ACC, but the Cavaliers fell short against No. 16 USC, 17-14. But the big one came at Lane Stadium, where the Hokies had won 32 home games in a row against non-league competition, and had not lost to a lower-tier team \1985. Granted, the Hokies had played just Monday night, a 33-30 loss to No. 3 Boise State in Landover, Md., and a game the Hokies led until a Broncos

as one of golf’s rising stars. And it helped ease the sting of lost chances in three other tournaments, including two majors. He blew a three-shot lead at the U.S. Open. He made up a three-shot deficit at the PGA Championship, only to lose a one-shot lead on the final hole when he didn’t realize he was in a bunker and grounded his club. Johnson moved to No. 2 in the FedEx Cup standings, giving him a clear shot at the $10 million bonus

touchdown with 1:09 remaining. This latest setback was still stunning, though. Virginia Tech was stopped by the Dukes on two possessions after JMU went ahead. One stop came when Tyrod Taylor’s fourth down pass was batted away, the other when Darren Evans fumbled. Nearly 5 1⁄2 minutes remained after the turnover, but JMU ran out the clock. “I’m ready to get back to practice because I hate this feeling,” said linebacker Bruce Taylor, who had a costly personal foul and missed a

critical tackle. “I hate this feeling.” Surely, the mood is the same at Miami, Florida State and Georgia Tech. “We just need to go back to the drawing boards,” Miami coach Randy Shannon said. Oklahoma made its rematch of the 2001 Orange Bowl with the Seminoles a laugher as Landry Jones was the runaway winner of his head-to-head battle with Heisman-hyped Christian Ponder. In Lawrence, Kan., the twoTD underdog Jayhawks broke an eight-game skid and got

Nicks finished with four catches for 75 yards, while Manning went 20 for 30 for 263 yards. But he also was picked off three times. So was Carolina quarterback Matt Moore, who left the game wobbly in the final minutes after being sacked by Osi Umenyiora. “Like all openers, everybody struggles to some degree,” said Panthers coach John Fox, who in the final year of his contract doesn’t need such collapses by his team. “The first half, we did some FOX decent things in the pass game. As they game wore on, it got more in their advantage. There’s no question they made more plays than we did. We made a few more mistakes than they did.” The opener hardly was a classic, often matching the gloomy weather and gray colors that dominate the stadium that already has hosted concerts, international soccer matches and preseason football. New York turned a botched snap on a Carolina punt into seven points as Nicks caught his third TD pass late in the third quarter for a 24-16 lead. The second-year receiver already has half as many touchdowns as he scored as a rookie. The Giants had taken the lead for good on Lawrence Tynes’ 31-yard field goal earlier in the period, a series kept alive by Manning’s quarterback sneak to gain the necessary few inches on fourth down. Although 30 points were scored

their biggest victory since 2008, when they beat the Hokies 24-21 in the Orange Bowl. Georgia Tech had a chance on fourth-and-3 in the final minutes, but a false start penalty pushed it back 5 yards and Joshua Nesbitt missed on a fourth-down pass. “There’s no excuse. We just got beat,” Yellow Jackets coach Paul Johnson said. “They played better than we did. There’s no magic thing. I ain’t got nothing magic I can say, like abracadabra-kazaam (and) it’s going to be fixed. You gotta practice and play better.”



NOTES: The Giants, who opened last season 5-0 before slumping to 8-8, lost tight end Kevin Boss (neck/concussion) and special teams captain Chase Blackburn (right knee). In addition to Moore, Panthers WR Charly Martin sustained a concussion.

Every other Chase failed to deliver a title to the dominant regular-season driver. Jeff Gordon was up 60 points on the field in 2004, but finished third in the inaugural Chase, which was won by Kurt Busch. Matt Kenseth had a 57point margin in 2006, but was beat by Johnson. Gordon was again the loser in 2007 when his massive 312-point lead was erased and he finished second to Johnson, who also beat regular-season leaders Kyle Busch (up 207 points) and Stewart (179) the last two seasons. It typically raises debate over NASCAR potentially rewarding the driver who is the points leader following the 26th race. The award could be points or monetary, but something should be done to recognize the team that emerged on top following the first 26 weeks of the season. “It is hard to explain to the fans that you have 26 weeks and you get nothing for it,” Harvick said recently. “I don’t know what’s right and what’s wrong. We all know the rules when we come in, so you just race by that system and see what happens.” • BIFFLE CLINCHES: It didn’t take Greg Biffle very long to clinch his spot in the Chase. Biffle went into Richmond needing only to finish 42nd or better to make the championship field, and he was guaranteed his spot when Jason Leffler pulled off the track 30 laps into Saturday night’s race. Leffler was a start-andpark ride, and assured Biffle of not finishing last. • OUT OF CONTENTION: Juan Pablo Montoya made his first Chase last season, but will be a spectator in the championship hunt this year. Despite his failure in making the 12-driver Chase field, Montoya believes his team is stronger this year than it was last year. “In a way it is frustrating because we didn’t make the Chase,” Montoya said. “But it is satisfying because we are

road courses. But because he won’t be racing for a championship, Montoya figures his Earnhardt Ganassi Racing team can take more gambles. “In a way, we can be a lot more aggressive on the car and the calls we make,” Montoya said. “We have been doing that lately and it has been working. We aren’t afraid of making changes on the car because of thinking about points.” • DRIVER CHANGE: Terry Labonte replaced Mike Bliss in the No. 55 Toyota for Saturday night’s race at Richmond. Labonte failed to qualify in what would have been his debut race with Stavola Labonte Racing. Playing into him not qualifying was that his younger brother, Bobby, didn’t make the field on speed and had to use the past champion’s provisional to get his car into the race. Terry Labonte then worked a deal with Prism Motorsports to drive that car. His crew spent Saturday making the car race-ready and affixing the decals of sponsor Gander Mountain on the car.

performing, and having the car up there every week means a lot.” Because of early season bad luck and inconsistency, Montoya went into Saturday night’s race ranked 17th in the standings and out of contention for a Chase berth. He has seven DNFs this year and seven finishes of 30th or worse. But he’s got a win this season, at Watkins Glen, and had four consecutive top-10s headed into Richmond. “You look at last year and, yes, we made the Chase and everything, but we were nowhere near as competitive as where we are at right now,” he said. “We have like four or five top-10s in a row. We’ve been there every week. We had a win. Were there. Last year, we played the point game. At the end of the day to make the Chase, you have to score the points. We didn’t score the points this year, but we had the results.” It has Montoya confident he can get another win this season, and perhaps on an oval. His only two Cup wins in three-plus seasons came on

Drabek debuts Wednesday TORONTO (AP) — The Blue Jays called up right-hander Kyle Drabek from Double-A New Hampshire on Sunday and the prized prospect will make his major league debut at Baltimore on Wednesday. Drabek, the son of former NL Cy Young Award winner Doug Drabek, was one of three players acquired by Toronto in last December’s trade that sent right-hander Roy Halladay to Philadelphia. He went 14-9 with a 2.94 ERA in 27 starts at Double-A this season, including a no-hitter against New Britain on July 4. He struck out 132. “We think Kyle is going to be a factor for us in the rotation and we think he’s going to be able to compete for a starting job next season,” GM Alex Anthopoulos said.

SAN DIEGO — Tim Lincecum won his third straight start following a career-high, five-game losing streak and had a two-run single as the San Francisco Giants roughed up San Diego ace Mat Latos to win 6-1 Sunday and cut the struggling Padres’ lead to less than one percentage point atop the NL West. The Giants won three of four games after having lost nine of their first 11 against the Padres this year. The teams will meet in a season-ending series at San Francisco Oct. 1-3. Rookie Buster Posey hit a two-run homer off Latos (14-6), who allowed five runs and seven hits in four innings, his worst start since April 26. Rockies 4, Diamondbacks 2 DENVER — Pinch-hitter Jason Giambi hit a two-run homer off Sam Demel (1-1) with two outs in the ninth, giving Colorado its 10th straight win. Jonathan Herrera started the rally when he reached on an error by second baseman Kelly Johnson. Colorado’s winning streak is the longest in the NL this season and one game short of the major league best shared by the Chicago White Sox and Texas. Phillies 3, Mets 0 NEW YORK— Roy Oswalt (12-13) pitched a four-hitter for his second complete game this season. Raul Ibanez hit a solo homer off Jon Niese (9-8), and Chase Utley and Ryan Howard had RBI singles for the Phillies. Pirates 3, Reds 1 CINCINNATI — Andrew McCutchen hit a three-run double in the ninth off Francisco Cordero (6-5), who blew his second straight save chance. Marlins 6, Nationals 5 WASHINGTON — Mike Stanton homered twice off Jordan Zimmermann (0-1) and drove in three runs as Florida completed a

Florida won 10 of its last 11 games against Washington to win the season series 13-5. Astros 7, Dodgers 4 HOUSTON — Hunter Pence had his team-leading 24th homer among his three hits, and Carlos Lee hit his 21st homer as Astros earned a split of the four-game series. Brewers 2, Cubs 0 MILWAUKEE — Yovani Gallardo (12-7) pitched four-hit ball for seven innings to win for the first time in seven starts since Aug. 8, and he doubled and scored on Ryan

Braun’s fifth-inning double. Casey McGehee homered in the eighth after the Brewers scored their first run of the three-game series. Cardinals 7, Braves 3 ATLANTA — Albert Pujols hit two home runs to power the Cardinals on Sunday night, dropping the Braves out of first place in the NL East. Pujols passed Hall of Famer Stan Musial for the most multihomer games in franchise history with 38, including five this season. Kyle Lohse (3-7) allowed nine hits but only two runs to beat Tim Hudson (15-8), who gave up six runs in five innings.

Workhorse Lee back on track, beat Yankees Associated Press

ARLINGTON, Texas — Cliff Lee allowed two hits while pitching into the ninth inning in his return from a back injury and Julio Borbon beat out a drag bunt for a go-ahead single, carrying the Texas Rangers to a 41 victory over the New York Yankees and a sweep of the series between division leaders. Lee (11-8) didn’t give up a hit for 5 1-3 innings, facing the min-

imum in that stretch. Both hits and the lone run came in the sixth inning. Neftali Perez struck out the next three batters for his 36th save in 39 chances, completing the first three-game sweep of the Yankees this year. Blue Jays 5, Rays 4 TORONTO — Adam Lind hit a two-run homer off Rafael Soriano in the ninth inning. Twins 6, Indians 2 CLEVELAND — Kevin

White Sox 12, Royals 6 CHICAGO — Paul Konerko had a pair of two-run homers and an RBI single and pinch-hit-

ter Andruw Jones hit grand slam in a six-run sixth inning. Red Sox 5, Athletics 3 OAKLAND, Calif. — Pinchhitter Ryan Kalish hit a goahead two-run single in the sixth. Tigers 6, Orioles 2 DETROIT — Miguel Cabrera hit a bases-loaded double in a five-run eighth inning that backed Justin Verlander’s 16th win, and the Detroit Tigers got back to .500.

NFL Today SCOREBOARD Monday, Sept. 13 Baltimore at N.Y. Jets, 7 p.m. edt. In the first Monday Night Football game at the New Meadowlands stadium, Jets coach rex ryan takes on his former team for the first time since leaving the ravens after the 2008 season. san diego at Kansas City, 10:15 p.m. edt. the AFC West rivals open the season as Arrowhead stadium’s $375 million facelift is shown off to a national television audience. Chargers quarterback philip rivers has thrown five touchdowns passes and not been intercepted in his past two games against the Chiefs. STARS Passing peyton Manning, Colts, completed 40 of 57 passes for 433 yards and three touchdowns,the fourth-highest opening weekend passing yards total since 1933. Jay Cutler, Bears, threw for 372 yards and hit Matt Forte with a late 28-yard touchdown pass, and Chicago beat the detroit Lions 19-14. david Garrard, Jaguars, threw three touchdown passes, finished with his best passer rating (138.9) and helped Jacksonville beat the denver Broncos 24-17. Carson palmer, Bengals, was 34 for 50 for 345 yards and two tds, but Cincinnati lost 38-24 at New england. Rushing Arian Foster, texans, who spent most of last season on the practice squad, ran for a teamrecord 231 yards and scored three touchdowns to carry the texans to a 34-24 victory over the defending AFC champion Colts. rashard Mendenhall, steelers, ran 50 yards for a touchdown 2:35 into overtime in pittsburgh’s 15-9 win over Atlanta. He finished with 120 yards on 22 rushes. Michael Vick, eagles, ran for 103 yards on 11 carries after replacing an injured Kevin Kolb at quarterback in philadelphia’s 27-20 loss to Green Bay. Receiving roddy White, Falcons, had 13 catches for 111 yards in Atlanta’s 15-9 overtime loss in pittsburgh. Matt Forte, Bears, caught seven passes out of the backfield for 151 yards, including an 89-yard screen for a touchdown near the end of the first half in Chicago’s 19-14 victory over detroit. Chad ochocinco, Bengals, had 12 receptions for 159 yards and a td in Cincinnati’s 38-24 loss at New england. —Austin Collie, Colts, had 131 yards receiving and a touchdown on 10 catches in Indianapolis’ 34-24 loss at Houston. Mark Clayton, rams, had a career-high 10 receptions for 119 yards for st. Louis in a 17-13 loss to Arizona.

Associated Press HOUSTON —Arian Foster ran for a team-record 231 yards and scored three touchdowns to lead the Houston Texans to a 34-24 victory over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. Foster’s sensational opening-day effort allowed the Texans to end a sixgame losing streak against Peyton Manning and the defending AFC champions. Foster, an undrafted rookie who spent most of last season on the practice squad, had 33 carries in gaining the most yards by a Colts’ opponent. He had the NFL’s second-best opening weekend rushing performance since 1933, topped only by Buffalo’s O.J. Simpson’s 250 in 1973 against New England. Foster also surpassed Domanick Davis’ team record of 158 yards rushing, set in 2004 at Jacksonville. Manning completed 40 of 57 passes for 433 yards, the fourth-highest opening weekend passing yardage total since 1933, and three touchdowns. He threw a 10-yard TD pass to Dallas Clark with 4:54 left to cut Houston’s lead to 27-17, but Foster ran for 41 yards on the Texans’ next series and capped his day with an 8-yard TD run. Bears 19, Lions 14 CHICAGO —Jay Cutler threw for 372 yards, including a 28-yard TD pass to Matt Forte with 1:32 left and Chicago held on against Detroit. The Lions, who Lost quarterback Matthew Stafford with a right shoulder injury late in the first half, nearly pulled out the win but Shaun Hill’s 25yard pass to Calvin Johnson in the end zone with 25 seconds left was ruled incomplete after a review. Two incompletions later, the Lions walked off the field with their 21st straight road loss. Stafford took a blindside sack by Julius Peppers and spent the second half on the sideline with his arm in a sling. His status for next week is uncertain. The Bears outgained the Lions 463168, but had four turnovers. Redskins 13, Cowboys 7 LANDOVER, Md. — Put Donovan McNabb in a different uniform, and he finally finds a way to beat the Dallas Cowboys. OK, it helps when his defense scores a huge momentum touchdown at the end of the first half — and then hangs on to withstand a final, furious threat at the end of the second half, surviving only when Dallas’ 12th penalty of the game negates what appeared to be the winning score. DeAngelo Hall returned a fumble 32 yards for Washington’s only touchdown, and McNabb completed 15 of 32 passes for 171 yards in his Redskins debut Sunday night in a season-opening, when-do-we-exhale 13-7 win over the Cowboys. The Cowboys (0-1) moved inside the Redskins 40 on three of their first four drives and didn’t score a point, but the drive everyone will remember is the last one, which came after Graham Gano made a 49-yard field with 1:50 remaining to give the Redskins (1-0) a 137 lead. After the kickoff, the Cowboys started at their own 19 with 1:45 left. They converted a fourth-and-10 at Washington’s 43 when Tony Romo hit wide-open Miles Austin over the middle for a 30-yard gain with 12 seconds to go. Three plays later, Romo had only 3 seconds left on the clock. He scrambled to find Roy Williams open in the end zone. But, while Williams and the Cowboys were celebrating, the official was calling Alex Barron for holding Redskins linebacker Brian Orakpo. Buccaneers 17, Browns 14 TAMPA, Fla. —Josh Freeman returned from a three-week layoff because of a broken thumb on his throwing hand and tossed a pair of touchdowns to help the Bucs overcome an 11-point deficit. Freeman threw a 3-yard TD pass to Mike Williams late in the first half. The 6-foot-6, 248-pound quarterback kept the go-ahead drive alive with a key third-down completion, then found Micheal Spurlock in the end zone for a

33-yard score that put Tampa Bay ahead 17-14 with just under seven minutes to go. Jake Delhomme guided Cleveland to a 14-3 lead before things unraveled for the Browns, who have not begun a season with a win since 2004 and fell to 1-11 in openers since the club returned as an expansion franchise in 1999. Patriots 38, Bengals 24 FOXBOROUGH, Mass. —Tom Brady threw two of his three touchdown passes to Wes Welker to lead New England. The season-opening victory came just three days after Brady was unhurt in a two-car crash then agreed to a contract making him the NFL’s highest paid player. His day was made smoother by Welker, who caught eight passes for 64 yards less than eight months after surgery for a torn knee ligament. Chad Ochocinco and Terrell Owens combined for 19 receptions for 212 yards and a touchdown for the Bengals, but their impact fell short of the hype that accompanied their partnership. The Patriots’ dominance was complete as they also scored on defense with Gary Guyton’s 59-yard interception return and on special teams on Brandon Tate’s 97-yard runback of the second-half kickoff. Jaguars 24, Broncos 17 JACKSONVILLE, Fla. —David Garrard threw three touchdown passes, two to tight end Marcedes Lewis, and Jacksonville won a game the team called one of the most important in franchise history. Garrard completed 16 of 21 passes for 170 yards. A big chunk of those went to Mike Thomas, who caught six passes for 89 yards. Maurice JonesDrew ran for 98 yards. Tim Tebow’s debut made a victory even more imperative, especially since some Jaguars fans clamored for the former Florida star. Tebow, back in the town where he grew up, entered on the third play and gained a yard on a quarterback keeper. He was in the game for two more plays. Steelers 15, Falcons 9, OT PITTSBURGH —Rashard Mendenhall ran 50 yards for a touchdown 2:35 into overtime and the Steelers overcame a shaky start by replacement quarterback Dennis Dixon and a missed field goal attempt late in regulation. With the Steelers leaning heavily on their running game and defense without suspended star quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, Mendenhall carried 22 times for 120 yards and the game’s only touchdown. Hines Ward made six catches for 108 yards in his club record 26th career 100-yard game. Dolphins 15, Bills 10 ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. —Linebacker Karlos Dansby and Miami’s new-look defense provided the Dolphins with the quick start they were looking for. Dansby, Miami’s top offseason freeagent addition, had a sack and eight tackles in helping the Dolphins limit the Bills to 166 yards on offense. Ronnie Brown scored on a 1-yard plunge and Dan Carpenter hit field goals from 32 and 43 yards in allowing Miami to open the season with a win for the first time in five years. Chad Henne completed 21 of 34 passes for 182 yards for Miami. Titans 38, Raiders 13 NASHVILLE, Tenn. —Chris Johnson ran for 142 yards and two touchdowns, Vince Young threw for two TDs and Javon Ringer had a TD, and the Titans avoided any comparisons to last year’s 0-6 start with a season-opening rout. Oakland led 3-0 early after a Young fumble. Tennessee answered with 24 straight points to take control. The Titans also sacked new Raiders quarterback Jason Campbell four times and forced two turnovers they turned into 10 points. Johnson, the NFL’s Offensive Player of the Year, extended his streak to 12 consecutive 100-yard games by halftime to break a tie with Marcus Allen. He trails only Barry Sanders, who had an NFL-best 14 such games.

Will the real Dr. Gott please stand up? If they cannot see, they cannot know book. There, I (or rather, my office staff) share links back to my website and welcome comments from my readers. I cannot answer any questions posed on Facebook, just as I cannot respond to every letter or e-mail I receive. It is not a matter of not wanting to. It is a matter of sheer volume. I would also like to take this opportunity to let my readers know that, over the coming weeks, you will notice some changes to my website. This is because I have brought on a new web designer to help spruce things up. We will work together to liven up my website and ensure that it is easy to navigate. We plan to address several concerns that have repeatedly come up in emails, including improving the search function and making the Health Report order form easier to access. It is currently located on the Health Report page, but the link is small, so I ask that all my website visitors please bear with us while we make these changes. I would also welcome any suggestions from you, my readers, about what you would like to see on the site. Send your suggestions to me through my website “Medical Inquiries” contact form. Please keep in mind that not all changes will be viable, but if there is an overwhelming response about certain aspects, we will do our

best to incorporate it. 

Dear Dr. Gott: My wife follows your column in our local newspaper. She read about placing a bar of soap under the bedsheets, but needs more explanation. She suffers a lot of pains and seeks whatever help is available. Dear Reader: The soap-under-the-sheets remedy is very simple. Place an unwrapped bar of soap under the bottom bedsheet nearest to the affected area. Some readers have had success using wrapped soap, as well. It was originally recommended for nighttime leg cramps but has also been found to be beneficial for other nighttime aches and pains in other areas, such as the shoulders, feet, back and neck. The soap may need to be replaced once in a while, say every three to six months, but it still retains its cleaning ability so it does not need to be thrown away. I suggest your wife try it since she has nothing to lose other than her pain. Dr. Peter H. Gott is a retired physician and the author of several books, including “Live Longer, Live Better,” “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Diet” and “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Cookbook,” which are available at most bookstores or online.

Drivin’ N Cryin’s vintage and custom equipment stolen from hotel ATLANTA (AP) — Atlantabased rock band Drivin’ N Cryin’ has plenty of reason to cry: They’ll be driving to their next gig without more than

$50,000 of vintage and custom equipment that was swiped from a hotel. A trailer packed with vintage amplifiers, custom guitars and

an elaborate drum set was stolen from a Macon hotel early Saturday, hours after the band finished playing at a local theater, band manager Ken Green said.

Warren Buffett said, “In the business world, the rearview mirror is always clearer than the windshield.” No doubt Buffett, an avid bridge player, would agree that this applies to bridge as well as to business. After a deal is over, it is often easy to see what you should have done. Sometimes, though, an opponent plays well and forces you to guess. If you go wrong, all you can do is congratulate him. This deal was like that. South was in six no-trump after North invited slam with his jump to four notrump. (Remember, to ask for aces, North would have responded four clubs, the Gerber conven-

Survey: News consumers making transition NEW YORK (AP) — A survey says consumers are making recent technology part of their news habits and are spending more time following what’s going on in the world. The Pew Research Center for the People and the Press said Sunday people spend an average of 57 minutes per day getting news from television, radio and newspapers. That’s the same as 10 years ago. But people now also spend an average of 13 minutes per day getting news online.

tion.) South accepted the invitation because he had a decent five-card suit. West led the heart jack. Declarer could see that he had eight top tricks: three spades, two hearts and three clubs. Two tricks were sure from

diamonds. The other two winners could come from a 3-3 split in either minor — but which one? Declarer won with dummy’s heart king and played a diamond to his jack, which held. Another diamond was won with dummy’s queen. Both opponents had played low smoothly. Was the suit 3-3 or was East or West still holding the ace and 10? South did not know. After a long pause, declarer turned to clubs, taking those three top tricks. But when East discarded on the third round, South had to play a spade to dummy’s jack, then lead a diamond, hoping East was left with the bare ace. As you can see, though, West’s excellent defense paid big dividends. He won with his ace and cashed the club jack for down one.

Dear Dr. Gott: Someone is using your name and photo to earn income at the website www.dr-gott.com. It is not clear until you get to their contact page that it’s not your official site. You can see by looking at the posts that people think they are sending you a message. You may want to DR. PETER not spend a lot of GOTT money going after these people, but it is very illegal for them to use your photo without your permission. A letter from your lawyer demanding that they remove your photo and state in large type on their home page that it is not your official site would be a great service to your readers and also protect your privacy and legal rights. Dear Reader: Unfortunately, for every website that uses my name and photo that I take action against, there are 12 more behind it waiting to take its place. I appreciate you informing me of this imposter, and I have printed your letter as a warning to my readers in the hopes that it will make the rounds. My only official website is www.AskDrGottMD.com.
