The Salisbury Planning Board will hear a request to open a new nightclub in the old La Bamba building, where a brawl last summer led to the resignation of a Salisbury police officer. Michael Murray said his proposed private club, named Marife’s Saloon after his wife, will be safe and secure. “We’re trying to do something totally different there, and something completely different than Salisbury’s ever seen,” Murray said. The building, now host to indoor yard sales most Saturdays, stands at 200 Klumac Road. It was previously known as Diamond. Planning Board will hear Murray’s request for a special use permit at 4 p.m. Tuesday in City Hall. Members of the public may speak. A series of fights at La Bamba in August 2009 led to multiple charges. A police officer resigned after he was filmed apparently hitting one party-goer and choking another. A fight in the club spilled into the parking area, where off-duty police officers were working security. At some point, police ended up inside the club, trying to restore order. An estimated 25 people were involved in the fight. A local company, Groundbreaking Video Productions, had been hired to videotape the party and recorded what appeared to be the police officer punching a man at the club. The video was posted on various websites and served as the centerpiece when a Gastonia-based activist began holding rallies in Salisbury charging police brutality. Marife’s Saloon will have a trained security enforcement team, Murray said. He said he will screen team members to ensure they do not

encing. So I “plunged” into the books and the World Wide Web, this is what I found. You are not alone! This experience is mostly seen in marathoners and any other long distance runners. As most runners can attest, running can help and promote a normal and healthy bowel movement. There is an estimated 20-50 percent of distance runners who have the “runner’s trots” (that is what they are calling what you are experiencing). The range of symptoms can be huge, anywhere from some minor cramps and nausea to extreme bouts of flatulence (passing gas) and diarrhea. With some it occurs after a run,
but for others it occurs during a run. There are no exact reasons for this, but it is thought the up and down motion of running stirs the bowels. After-run cramps seems to come from dehydration from long training runs. Symptoms of “runners trot” are cramping, flatulence, diarrhea — either during or after exercise. All this may produce painful cramping and the need to defecate (have a bowel movement). After your body gets used to longer runs, you take extra precaution to prevent dehydration, including sports drinks to replenish important electrolytes, this “runners trot” becomes history in many runners over time. However, there can be other issues that can be dangerous. Exercise induced ischemic colitis is a sudden swelling of a part of the large intestines that can occur when there is a temporary loss of, or reduction in, blood flow to the colon. Symptoms for this are abdominal pain, bright red blood in the stool, diarrhea, fever and vomiting. If you experience any of these symptoms, go see your doctor right away. With a colonoscopy, they can make sure if you are, or are not, having exercise induced ischemic colitis. Some “runner’s trot” preventative measures are: • Increase your exercise level gradually to allow your body time to adapt to the demands of a more rigorous and /or longer regimen.
• Try to avoid eating for at least two hours before your long runs. A full stomach can make symptoms worse or contribute to the problem. • Try to avoid caffeine and other warm fluids, since they can speed up the process of waste moving through your intestines. • Limit dairy products, especially if you are susceptible to diarrhea. • Limit high fiber foods in the days before a long run or race. • Avoid foods you know give you gas or loose stools. • Drink plenty of fluids. It is recommended to drink a full 16-ounce cup of water an hour before your runs, giving the excess fluid time to pass through and be well hydrated. • Avoid tight fitting clothes or fanny packs around your waist, since that can add additional pressure on your stomach. • Choose foods that are naturally constipating such as bananas, plain bagels, rice, oatmeal and pasta. Avoid adding things like butter, peanut butter or sauces. I hope this will help you in your future long runs and races! If you have any doubts, consult your physician for further check ups. I wish everyone a wonderful and happy Thanksgiving and for your information there is a 5K (3.2 miles) on Thanksgiving Day hosted, and starting at the Forum. For more information, call Sacha Roberts, race director, for this “Turkey Trot” event at 704-637-5775. Happy Turkey Day!

Organizers say shop local on Small Business Saturday BY ROBIN M. PERRY For the Salisbury Post
Small Business Saturday is a movement spearheaded by American Express Open to sandwich another big shopping day between Black Friday and Cyber Monday — the mega shopping days after Thanksgiving. But on this big shopping day, organizers want consumers to think small. While Black Friday has malls and big retailers open before sunrise, and Cyber Monday has folks browsing online for bargains, organizers say Small Business Saturday is the day to support local businesses that create jobs and boost the local economy. The first Small Business Saturday will be Nov. 27, and downtown Salisbury merchants are excited about this new idea. Betz McKeown, marketing and promotions manager of Downtown Salisbury learned of the American Express Open program and e-mailed local merchants. Those who take American Express can sign up for the promotion, which offers businesses $100 CATHY MATTHEWS worth of advertising of the Looking Glass-Artist on Facebook and Collective — wondering card members cred- why it didn’t start earlier it on their account if they use the card on Nov. 27 at a small business. American Express CEO Kenneth Chenault says this is not a one-time event but an annual effort to drum up support for independent merchants. And the company says on its website this is not just for American Express card members and merchants but is a national movement to inspire consumers and communities across the country to support local small businesses. “This is the start of a movement,” Chenault said. He added that Cyber Monday did not catch on immediately and Small Business Saturday may not succeed overnight, but, “we are committed to this effort for years to come.” Wendy Beeker, owner of Grayshores Trading, a relatively new retailer on Main Street, likes the concept of Small Business Saturday. “I think it is a good idea to try something new and to remind people to shop locally,” she said. To get the free advertising on Facebook is a real plus to her. Like Chenault, she hopes it is the beginning of a movement that continues for years. At the Looking Glass-Artist Collective, Cathy Matthews asked, “Why did they wait so long?” She thinks it’s a good idea for all customers get credit on their purchases and likes that she gets free advertising on Facebook. “I hope people come out and shop and save some money while supporting local small businesses,” Matthews said. She plans to extend her hours on Small Business Saturday, staying open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Lynn Harrell, owner of The Sweetest Thing on East Innes Street, said she hopes this will be

Millie Hall of Kannapolis nears mark for state’s longest-serving school board member BY SARAH CAMPBELL scampbell@salisburypost.com
ANNAPOLIS — A lot has changed since Millie Hall was first elected to the Kannapolis City Board of Education in 1978. Each classroom now has more technology than an entire school once had. High school students are taking classes such as Mandarin Chinese and oceanography. The state and federal government’s student performance standards guide classroom instruction. And today’s board includes three women and two men, a stark contrast from when Hall took her seat as the first woman 32 years ago. “I wasn’t intimidated, but they might have been,” she said of her male counterparts. Hall, 74, said the distinction of being first has never been her driving force, but she’s been a trailblazer for women.
K
She’s was the first woman to serve as chair of the Kannapolis school board, first female president of the Kannapolis Chamber of Commerce and first and only woman from Kannapolis to receive the Order of the Long Leaf Pine, the state’s highest civilian honor. “She has been an inspiration to me and many others as we have watched her break glass ceilings for women,” said Jo Anne Byerly, retired superintendent of Kannapolis City Schools. “We are fortunate to have Millie Hall as a role model and leader in Kannapolis.” Hall is close to breaking another record, longest-serving school board member in the state. She is currently tied with Surry County’s Sue Stone as the longest-serving female school board member in the state and follows closely behind Currituck County’s John Barnes, who was elected in 1976, for the top spot.

Rowan Helping Ministries held its second annual “Community Wide Thanksgiving Celebration” on Nov. 14 in Livingstone College’s Varick Auditorium. Local churches brought banners and marched into the auditorium during the opening processional. The service featured music, success stories and volunteers’ testimonies. Dr. Jimmy Jenkins Sr., president of Livingstone College, welcomed the audience and expressed his appreciation to Rowan Helping Ministries and all that they and the community have done to help the less fortunate in Rowan County. The service that followed was
a celebration with music by Catawba Children’s Chorale, Teresa Moore-Mitchell, Philip Burgess, Salisbury Ecumenical Choir and Livingstone Concert Choir intermingled with stories of service and hope and Rowan Helping Ministries volunteer testimonies. “I started with patting my foot, clapping my hands, to wiping my tears in a space of one hour” board Chairwoman Tippie Miller said.

Do not purchase anything on impulse that will not fit into your automobile! On Black Friday five years ago we were in Myrtle Beach for the Thanksgiving holiday. My husband and son spent the entire day on Thursday mapping out their plan of action for shopping on Friday. They left at 4 a.m. to begin their journey. At 6:15, I received a call from my son saying they needed help. He was laughing as he told me this so I didn’t become alarmed. He informed me that my husband had purchased a 50-inch wide-screen TV and that they were sitting on the sidewalk in front of the store with it because it would not fit in our SUV. The newspaper at Myrtle Beach had stopped by and interviewed them since I’m sure that they looked awfully funny sitting there with this TV and no way to get it home. We began to try and think of someone that was also at the beach that might have a truck. After much thought and many phone calls, we found a friend that was staying in the campground that had a truck. He went and picked them up and then we were stuck with what to do with the TV when we got back to our condo.

FRIDAY FROM 3a We are on the third floor with no elevator. Our friend said he had no room in his camper to store it and the weather was calling for rain so we could not leave it on the back of his truck. We called another friend that was staying in the campground and he said that he would make room. The TV was stored in their little camper and they had to crawl around it for the rest of the weekend and they then brought it home to Salisbury! We had nowhere for a 50-inch TV and had to purchase new den furniture to make room for it. So the TV that was a bargain ended up costing us more money than we had planned plus the headaches. Talk about impulse buying! I have dared my husband and son to purchase anything since then on Black Friday that will NOT fit in the car. — Kathy Barringer
Plan it out Black Friday 2010 will be my third year shopping in the wee hours of the morning for some great deals. My first trip was to Carolina Mall in Concord. I had no idea what I was in for. The mall wasn’t as crowded as I have experienced more recently, but it was still a thrill to wait in line at Staples for a 4GB flash drive. Last year, I researched for months ahead of Black Friday. I comprised a list of items I wanted, and at 11 p.m. on Thanksgiving night, my fiance and I were outside of Concord Mills. My only advice there is to definitely have some store you want to go to, otherwise it is a mad house. We left there around 1:30 a.m. and headed for Target. We were the first ones in line and waited until their opening to rush in and grab what we were there for. This year I have perfected my shopping tips that much more, and I am ready for my night of shopping. Black Friday 2010 Shopping Tips: 1. Do your research ahead of time. Visit sites like BFads.com or BlackFriday.com to view early releases of store advertisements for the big day. 2. Comprise a list of items that you want to buy that include: Store name, store open-

Wear layers because it will be cold if you're waiting late at night. Gloves are a must! 6. Wear comfortable, running shoes. 5. For any items you wish to bring with you on your hunt, pack them in a small backpack that you can wear on your back. You will have one less item to keep up with or worry about leaving somewhere. This backpack can include: bottled water, hand warmers, tissues, headache medicine, snacks, etc. Make your Black Friday survival pack your own. 6. If you've got fold-down back seats in your vehicle, make sure they are down. You'll need all the room you can get. 7. Bring old comforters or moving blankets to cover your items in the car. Out of sight, out of mind can deter criminals. 8. Only park in a well lit area of the parking lot and try to stay near the front. 9. If possible, move your car in the parking lot, especially at a mall or a shopping center. 10. Do not go alone. Make sure to have at least one other person with you. Shopping in numbers is safer and you have a better chance of getting all your items. 11. In order to be the first in line, be prepared to arrive early. Hours of waiting can pay off if you’re getting the deal of a lifetime. 12. Some have even shopped a day or two before Black Friday only to find some of the items they wanted and hide them in the store to find on the big day. Frequent hiding places are in washers and dryers, clothing baskets, clothing racks, ottomans, and shoe boxes. 13. Most importantly, if you love the thrill of Black Friday but fear that you cannot get every item on your list. Sites like BFads.com compare items listed in the already released Black Friday 2010 ads with the prices that these items currently are. So be sure to do some investigating of your own because purchasing some of your items now can lessen your stress on Black Friday and can even save you even more money and time. — Melanie Mishue

As life continues to speed up, Hall also worries that parents aren’t giving their children the attention they need to be successful students. “I’m concerned that some parents or legal guardians are not really interested in what happens at school unless it’s an adverse situation and then they’re usually the ones on the front steps wanting to complain,” she said. Some things have changed for the better. “I think all the technology we have has certainly been a tremendous step foward. “We have been blessed with the IMPACT grants in Kannapolis City Schools to be on the cutting edge of a lot of technology.” Hall said it can be a challenge trying to stay “ahead of technology and not behind it,” with state funding being cut more each year. A.L. Brown High School’s partnership with the North Carolina Research Campus has also been a huge asset for the school system. “The Research Campus has been a big player, our students are able to be in-

Her mother, Ruth Waller, raised Hall and her brother, Robert Waller, to give back whenever they could and the siblings have lived accordingly. “My mother was always one with a big heart and I grew up hearing from her that you’re never too poor to share something with someone, even if it’s just a smile,” Hall said.

my time was consumed by memory of past bullying and fear of its repetition. In our little community when I was growing up, we had our bully. His stature was greater than the rest of us, which leads one to wonder about what part the physical aspect plays in the evolution of a bully, smaller stature being less conducive to belligerence, except in the cases of Napoleon and Hitler ( perhaps bullies of smaller stature have the abnormal potential to release more lethal mayhem than those of the normal XL size). The act of bullying should always be evaluated in the context of the times in which it occurred. Our neighborhood bully’s form of bullying seemed to be more normal back then, being mainly an individual venture, not the more

I guess that bullying is something like terrorism in its power to inspire fear.

Tarzan didn’t own a car, but he was still a hero to me I
be Gordon Scott’s driver for the next two days to help you out? I would have paid you to let me do it, if you hadn’t asked. What time?” “I’ll call and tell him you’ll be at his condo at 9:30 in the morning,” Ray said. Talk about being in the right place at the right time. The next morning I’m there in 20 minutes. I pulled into the parking lot and immediately saw “Tarzan” standing on the sidewalk. I parked, got out of the car, approached him, shook his hand and gave my introduction. “Hi, Mike, I’m Gordon Scott,” he answered. Always the thinker, I replied, “I know.” (Cut me some slack, I just shook hands with one of my three childhood hero actors.) He was wearing a white sweat suit with a blue shirt. He had a graying mustache, and his wavy hair was longer and, of course, grayer than it was when he swung through the trees. He carried an attache case, no doubt full of photos to sign during the course of the weekend. For half of the way back to the hotel, he asked questions about me (Where was I from? Married? Kids? Been to Ray’s shows before?) Then he got rather somber and told me he was nervous about doing the show. Several “celebrity” friends had told him about it and that he should do one. A good way to pick up some cash and to meet folks who enjoyed him in the movies. He stated that he was concerned that people wouldn’t remember him — he had been out of people’s minds for such a long time. I tried to reassure him that “baby boomers like me” certainly remembered him, and I told Gordon that I felt he would do well. “I hope you’re right,” he said, “Otherwise, it’s going to be a long day.” The norm at such shows is that most of the celebrities usually have two or three people at their table at a time. If you want to talk with Tommy Kirk (of “Old
Gordon Scott Yeller” fame), and he’s talking with someone else, you wander down a few feet and talk with Jay North (TV’s “Dennis the Menace”) until Tommy is available. At each show, however, somebody is always the hit of the weekend and, thank goodness, this time, it was Gordon Scott. I looked over and couldn’t see him for the crowd assembled at his table. The security folks had the public in a line that stretched all the way down the center of the room. They remembered him. Around 11 a.m. or so, I made my way toward his table to check on him. Security stopped me and said I had to get in the line, which was just as long as it had been an hour earlier. “Let him through,” Gordon told security, “he’s with me.” I felt as though I were the King of Prussia. “I’m going to be ready to eat lunch in about an hour, but I hate to leave with all these folks in line,” he said. I told him not to worry, that they would line up again when he got back. I suggested that he eat next door at the hotel restaurant when he was ready, and he asked if I would eat with him. Duh? After his lunch break, during which time several folks stopped by to speak to him, he returned to his table and did banner business all afternoon. It was around 4:30 when promoter Ray found me and

said that Gordon was tired and about ready to go home. I went to his table and he said, “about 10 more minutes.” The show closed for the day at 5 p.m., and he ended up staying until then. “I’d rather the show people tell everyone it was time to go instead of me telling them I had to leave, he said. That was considerate of him, although I’m sure the $10 bills people had thrown at him all day was a factor as well. But that’s OK. I pulled the car up to the entrance, Gordon got in and we pulled out of the lot. “Well, glad you came?” I asked. “Incredible, I can’t believe it. My hand is cramping like %&*% from all the signing. I’ll probably have to soak it tonight.” We arrived before I knew it. As Gordon got out of the car, he thanked me for the day and said, “Same time tomorrow?” “Yes, sir, 9:30.” “I’ll see you then,” he said as he closed the door and walked toward his building and disappeared down the walkway. I sat there for a moment, trying to absorb this entire experience. I’m “hanging out” with the man who, 30plus years earlier, entertained me by swinging on vines, fighting crocodiles and battling the bad guys (including Sean Connery) in the confines of the Playhouse and State theaters more than 2,000 miles away. The following morning started out a carbon copy of Saturday. I pulled into the parking lot of Gordon Scott’s apartment complex, only this morning, “Tarzan” wasn’t standing outside waiting for me. So I parked and waited for him. Soon, it was past 9:30 and then 9:40. No Gordon. It’s 1993 — no cell phone. I didn’t know which condo was his, and I was hesitant to start knocking on doors early on a Sunday morning to ask people, “Do you know which apartment is Tarzan’s?” So I waited. Every possible scenario went through my mind. Had
someone else given him a ride? Did he decide not to go back to the show? Had he overslept? Or the worst thing I could think about — had he died during the night (He was 67, so it wasn’t impossible). I was content to meet him and drive him around. I certainly didn’t want to be the guy who had to report his death. So I waited. It got to be around 10:15. Still no Gordon. The doors at the show opened at 10. A few moments later, he came around the corner, attache case in hand, wearing the same white sweat suit as the day before but with a different shirt. He got into the car and said, “Morning, Mike — you’re early, but that’s fine.” “Uh, actually, I’m not early, it’s 10:15. I’ve been here about an hour.” Then the light bulb flashed in my head. This happened to be the weekend in October in which Daylight Savings Time ended, and Gordon hadn’t reset his clock. When I told him about the time change, he was very apologetic — in fact, he apologized several more times throughout the day. The afternoon went well for him just as Saturday had. Lots of business at his table. His two-day payday was probably the most money he had seen since the mid-’70s. Just as the day before, the show wrapped up at 5 p.m. Gordon gathered his stuff, stopped at the door to thank Ray the promoter for having him, Ray thanked me for driving him, and we headed back to Gordon’s. Along the way, I bombarded him with every question I had thought up since the previous day. “Tell me about your last two Tarzan features, which I was crazy about.” “What were the conditions shooting in Kenya?” “How was the up-andcoming Sean Connery like to work with?” “How about Sir Anthony Quayle, John Carradine and Jock Mahoney?” Stuff like that.
He answered every question I asked him in great detail, which was like Christmas morning for me. Once we got to his complex, he sat in the car, at least, another half hour because I kept hurling the questions at him. He didn’t seem to mind. In fact, we talked about the movie business in great detail, and I was amazed at the knowledge Gordon had. We talked at length about many of the “great” movies. He particularly liked “Breaker Morent,” “Treasure of the Sierra Madre” and “Lawrence of Arabia.” My final question was why had he stopped playing Tarzan. His last two films were so incredible, I was so sorry that he hadn’t continued in the role. “I would have,” he said, “but the two producers and I came to an impasse. I wanted a multi-picture deal for three more Tarzan films, and they wanted to do it a picture-at-a-time. The money was good, but I wanted some short-term security.” (Gordon was paid $75,000 for each of his final two Tarzan films.) “I probably would have given in to their way,” he continued, “except I was offered a great deal by producer Dino Delaurentiis, who asked me to move to Italy and offered me a fiveyear, three picture-a-year deal (at $100,000 per picture) to do ‘sword and sandal’ films. So I gave up Tarzan to play Samson, Hercules and Goliath.” He thanked me for being his “pal” and driver, and I tried to convey to him what the weekend had meant to me. In 1995, I saw him again at another show. I approached him and said, “Hey, Gordon, you might not remember me, but...” He interrupted me at that point and said, “Of course, I do. How are you, Mark?” Close enough for me. Gordon Scott died April 30, 2007, at the age of 80, following complications of heart surgery.

During the mid ’50s through the early ’60s, any time a Tarzan movie came to Statesville’s Playhouse and State theaters, I would be only one of several thousand kids who would shuck out their 15 cents to see the latest exploits of Edgar MIKE Rice Burroughs’ junCLINE gle hero. “Our” movie Tarzan was an actor named Gordon Scott. Born Gordon Werschkul in 1926, Scott had assumed the role of Tarzan in 1955 and portrayed the character in five features and an unsold TV pilot through 1960. The Tarzan movies produced in the ’30s, ’40s and early ‘50s had not yet made it to television, so we had no access to Johnny Weissmuller or the other actors who had preceded Gordon. Scott’s final film as the ape man was “Tarzan the Magnificent” and was the 1960 Thanksgiving attraction at the State Theatre, where it played a full seven days. My parents dropped me off at the State for the 1 p.m. Saturday showing. As soon as the movie ended, I rushed to the theater phone, called home and told my folks not to pick me up until 5 p.m., as I had to watch it again. Being shed of me an extra two hours, they didn’t object. Had a psychic approached me on the sidewalk outside the State Theatre and said, “Hey, kid, someday you’re going to meet the guy you just watched (twice) in that movie,” I would have said they were as stupid as, well, you get it. During the ’90s, I headed west to Los Angeles/Hollywood/Burbank two or three times a year for business, mixing in a bit of pleasure. It turns out that a fellow I had known since the mid ’70s began operating what he called the Hollywood Collectibles Show. I couldn’t attend every show he did, but I always scheduled my trips west to coincide with his shows. By his second year, he had 50 to 75 television and feature actors at each show. The “celebrities” were seated next to one another at tables. They spent two days signing autographs, posing for photos and talking with the fans in attendance. At one of the early shows, around 1991 or 1992, I asked Ray the promoter if he had any idea what had happened to Gordon Scott. He had fallen off the radar, and I hadn’t heard or read anything about him after 1975. I suggested that Gordon might be a very popular guest. He agreed and said he would love to have him at a show and would ask around if anyone knew where Gordon was. During the summer of 1993, Ray called me to say that Gordon Scott had turned up living in Burbank, had heard about these shows and had called Ray asking if he could participate in the upcoming October show. Ray said sure. Fortunately, I had already scheduled one of my trips the week of the October show, so I was excited that I would get to meet one of my top childhood film heroes. I always stayed at the same hotel where Ray put on his shows. The Friday night before each show, I would always go down to say hello to Ray while he was getting the rooms ready for the next morning. When I saw Ray this time, I immediately asked if Gordon Scott was still coming. “Yes, I talked to him yesterday,” Ray told me. “But Gordon’s in a bad way. He’s virtually broke and lives alone in a condo about seven miles from the hotel. He doesn’t even own a car, so I’m going to have to pick him up and take him home Saturday and Sunday. That is, unless you’d do it for me, ha, ha.” Was he kidding? “Wait a minute,” I said. “You’re asking me if I will

Painkillers pulled: Darvon, Darvocett off the market over heart issues WASHINGTON (AP) — The maker of the painkiller Darvon is pulling the drug off the market at the request of public health officials who say the more than 50-year-old pill causes potentially deadly heart rhythms. The Food and Drug Administration said Friday that Xanodyne Pharmaceuticals had agreed to halt all U.S. marketing of Darvon and the related brand Darvocet, which have been subject to safety concerns for decades. The Kentucky company confirmed the move in its own statement. The FDA also ordered generic drugmakers to stop making and sell-
ing low-cost drugs containing the active ingredient in Darvon, called propoxyphene. Britain and the European Union decided to ban Darvon in 2005 and 2009, respectively, due to a long trend of suicides and accidental overdoses. FDA officials said they decided to take action based on a recent study showing Darvon interferes with the electrical activity of the heart, causing irregular heart rhythms that can be fatal. Xanodyne conducted the study last year at the government’s request. “This last study, the cardiac study, was sort of the final piece of
Reactions from cough, cold medicines down CHICAGO (AP) — Removing cough and cold medicines for very young children from store shelves led to a big decline in emergency room visits for bad reactions to the drugs, government research found. But the results being released online today are a mixed bag: Some parents were still giving their infants and toddlers these medicines, and many ER cases still involved youngsters who apparently got hold of the medications themselves. That suggests parents who stopped using them hadn’t discarded old bottles or kept them out of reach after manufacturers voluntarily withdrew medicines labeled for infants and kids up to age 2 in 2007. The bottom-line message: “Keep all medicines up and away and out of sight,” said Dr. Daniel Budnitz, the study’s senior author and a researcher at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Budnitz said the results also indicate the need for better childproof containers. The study appears in the journal Pediatrics. Makers of over-the-counter cough and cold medicines
voluntarily withdrew the products, mostly syrups, in October 2007. Pediatricians had complained that the products don’t work in young kids and posed a safety risk because of accidental overdoses causing extreme drowsiness, increased heart rate and even some deaths. The Food and Drug Administration in 2008 warned against using the medicines in children younger than 2; labels now advise against using them in children younger than 4, Budnitz noted. The number of visits nationwide linked with cough and cold medicine dropped by more than half, researchers found. However, two-thirds of the cases involved kids taking medicine on their own.
the puzzle that told us what the complete picture was,” said Dr. Gerald Dal Pan, director of FDA’s office of surveillance and epidemiology. Dal Pan said patients should continue taking the medication until their doctor prescribes a replacement therapy. Other commonly prescribed drugs in the same class are oxycodone and codeine. But public safety advocates said the agency should have acted much sooner to pull a drug with limited benefits and a long history of safety problems. “The FDA’s deadly delay in this case starkly illustrates how one of the most important public health
from the market. But the FDA disagreed, and later that year agency officials said they would keep the drug on the market with a bolder warning label about the risk of overdosing. Around that time, the FDA asked Xanodyne to conduct the study of the drug’s heart effects. “For the first time we now have data showing that the standard therapeutic dose of propoxyphene can be harmful to the heart,” Dal Pan said. Propoxyphene, which was first approved in the 1957, is an opioid narcotic used to treat mild to moderate pain. About 10 million people in the U.S. received prescriptions for Darvon and related drugs in 2009.
Social Media Sobriety Test may help keep you from posting things you shouldn’t Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Friends don’t let friends post on Facebook under the influence. That’s the premise behind a newly launched online Social Media Sobriety Test. It’s designed to keep people from posting embarrassing updates, observations and photos on social networking sites after they’ve had too many drinks. Maybe it will save folks from a case of the post-post regret that comes with revealing too much personal information to the rest of the planet, including future prospective employers. “Nothing good happens online after 1 a.m.” according to the site description.

concepts, the precautionary principle, was embraced by the UK and Europe, but was for too long recklessly rejected by the FDA,” said Dr. Sidney Wolfe, of the consumer watchdog group Public Citizen. Wolfe estimated that at least 1,000 to 2,000 U.S. patients died from taking Darvon since the U.K. banned the product in January 2005. Public Citizen petitioned the FDA to ban the drug in 1978 and again in 2006, pointing to its role in thousands of deaths reported by state medical examiners. The most recent petition led to a January 2009 meeting, where a panel of outside experts voted 1412 to recommend the drug be pulled

FroM 1a The TSA “is not a flier-centered system. It’s a terroristcentered system and the travelers get caught in it,” said Paul Light, a professor of public service at New York University who has tracked the agency’s effectiveness since its creation. That built-in conflict is at the heart of a growing backlash against the TSA for ordering travelers to step before a full-body scanner that sees through their clothing, undergo a potentially invasive patdown or not fly at all. “After 9/11 people were scared and when people are scared they’ll do anything for someone who will make them less scared,” said Bruce Schneier, a Minneapolis security technology expert who has long been critical of the TSA. “But ... this is particularly invasive. It’s strip-searching. It’s body groping. As abhorrent goes, this pegs it.” A traveler in San Diego, John Tyner, has become an Internet hero after resisting both the scan and the patdown, telling a TSA screener: “If you touch my junk, I’m gonna have you arrested.” That has helped ignite a campaign urging people to refuse such searches on Nov. 24, which immediately precedes Thanksgiving and is one of the year’s busiest travel days. The outcry, though, “is symptomatic of a bigger is-

The saloon will feature top40 music, line dancing, beach music, country night, live music and pool leagues, as well as “life enhancement” including modern dance classes, Zumba exercise classes and charity event opportunities. Murray said he plans comedy nights and a higher level of entertainment and music in Marife’s Saloon than offered anywhere else in Salisbury. He will provide off-duty uniformed officers during peak times to secure the property and discourage loitering and vandalism, he said. He will install additional lighting and landscaping, “and daily cleanup will ensure cleanliness and professionalism to the adjoining businesses,” Murray said in his business plan. “This will also bring heightened awareness to the surrounding business and help create revenue for them.” Patrons must be at least 21 years old, adhere to a dress code and undergo metal detection.

sue,” said Geoff Freeman, executive vice president of the U.S. Travel Association, an industry group that says it has received nearly 1,000 calls and e-mails from consumers about the new policy in the last week. “It’s almost as if it’s a tipping point,” Freeman said. “What we’ve heard from travelers time and again is that there must be a better way.” Indeed, TSA has a history of stirring public irritation. There was the time in 2004 when Sen. Ted Kennedy complained after being stopped five times while trying to board planes because a name similar to his appeared on the agency’s no-fly list. And the time in 2006 when a Maine woman went public with her tale of being ordered by a TSA agent to dump the gel packs she was using to cool bags of breast milk. And the time in 2007, when a Washington, D.C., woman charged that another TSA agent threatened to have her arrested for spilling water out of her child’s sippy cup. TSA denied the last, releasing security camera footage to try and prove its point. But that did little to offset the agency’s longtime struggle to explain itself and win traveler cooperation. Quick start It wasn’t supposed to be this way. After Congress approved creation of the agency in late 2001, the TSA grew quickly from just 13 employees in January 2002 to 65,000 a year later. In the first year,
agency workers confiscated more than 4.8 million firearms, knives and other prohibited items, according to a report by the U.S. Government Accountability Office. But even as the new agency mushroomed, officials at the top, pressured by airlines worried that tighter security would discourage people from flying, looked to the business world for lessons on systems, efficiency and service. TSA set up “go teams” pairing government employees with executives from companies including Marriott International Inc., The Walt Disney Co., and Intel Corp., to figure out how to move lines of people through checkpoints efficiently and how to deal with angry travelers. But the agency was working under what Freeman calls “an unachievable mandate.” Congress demanded an agency that eliminated risk. But the risks are always changing, as terrorists devise new methods and government parries. That has led to an agency that is always in crisis mode, constantly adding new policies designed to respond to the last terror plot. President Barack Obama says he has pushed the TSA to make sure that it is always reviewing screening processes with actual people in mind. “You have to constantly refine and measure whether what we’re doing is the only way to assure the American people’s safety,” Obama said Saturday. “And you also have to think through, are there
ways of doing it that are less intrusive.” Clinton, appearing on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” said Sunday she thought “everyone, including our security experts, are looking for ways to diminish the impact on the traveling public.” On CNN’s “State of the Union,” TSA chief John Pistole insisted that the current threat level is too high to lessen the use of full body scans and intimate pat-downs. “No, we’re not changing the policies,” he said. Hours later, however, Pistole issued a statement saying the agency would work to make screening methods “as minimally invasive as possible.” He gave no indication that screening changes were imminent but said that “there is a continual process of refinement and adjustment to ensure that best practices are applied.” Security threats TSA operates on the belief that a key to foiling terrorists is to keep them guessing, agency watchers say. But it has never really explained that to a flying public that sees never-ending changes in policies covering carry-on liquids, shoes and printer cartridges as maddening and pointless inconsistency. Over time, TSA has settled into a pattern of issuing directives with little explanation and expecting they be followed. But increasingly fedup travelers don’t understand the agency’s sense of urgency and aren’t buying it.

Mueller, a professor of political science at Ohio State, who has researched the way society reacts to terrorism. The pushback against the body scanners and pat-downs shows the agency at its worst, Elliott said: It issued a policy that wasn’t properly vetted or explained, but it is determined to defend it. Growing dissatisfaction with TSA has even led some airports to consider replacing the agency with private screeners. Better communication would probably win the TSA more cooperation. But the public irritation suggests that a growing number of consumers, particularly frequent travelers, are questioning the premise at the heart of the agency’s existence.

“I don’t think the law enforcement approach is going to work with the American public. You’ve got to explain yourself and reassure people. And they’re not doing it,” Light said. That goes beyond public relations, experts say. As more and more layers are added to air travel security efforts, it creates difficult and potentially unpopular choices. But the TSA has been unwilling to openly discuss how it arrives at policies or to justify the trade-offs, highlighted by its insistence over the need for the scanners. “They’re very expensive and what they (TSA officials) should be able to do is answer if it does reduce the risk, how much does it reduce the risk and is it worth it?” said John

As Christianity leaves schools, indoctrination takes its place T
This op-ed by U.S. Sen. Kay Hagan discussing the Food Safety Modernization Act originally appeared in the Asheville CitizenTimes.

In this tough economy, we need to encourage growth in the agriculture industry, not stifle it. The love of local food means good jobs in areas of our state that have been hit hard by the loss of traditional manufacturing jobs. But the food safety bill the Senate is considering endangers these jobs by imposing unnecessary regulations on the smallest food producers. The bill would add a new layer of federal regulation on top of the existing state and local food safety regulations that small producers already must follow. This is why I have joined with my colleague Sen. Jon Tester, of Montana, who is a farmer himself, in an effort to amend this bill to protect small producers from these new federal regulations that would be overkill for small family farms. Instead, state and local governments would continue to regulate them. Local, small farmers who harvest produce to sell directly to consumers do not pose the same risk as large producers and cannot afford to bear the proposed, one-size-fits-all set of government regulations. In North Carolina, agriculture is our largest industry, generating $74 billion in economic activity and employing nearly one-fifth of the workers in our state. In this tough economy, we need to encourage growth in the agriculture industry, not stifle it. Together, Sen. Tester and I are working hard this week to include our small producer protection amendment in the food safety bill, and I hope all of my Senate colleagues will join with us to support this critical change to the legislation. Our small farmers could be out of business without it. • • • Kay Hagan, D-N.C., is the state's junior senator. Readers can contact her office at 877-8529462.

Food safety bill should not harm local farmers n September, I visited a farmers market in Asheville, where I talked with North Carolinians who work hard each day to bring local foods — from vegetables to homemade jellies to freshly baked bread — to their loyal customers. These local food producers all told me they are very concerned about a bill on the Senate floor this week, the Food Safety Modernization Act, which would give the Food and Drug Administration more authority to inspect processing facilities and to conduct food recalls more quickly. Everyone agrees we must overhaul our food safety system, as millions of people have become sick from foodborne illnesses. But unfortunately, this bill threatens the ability of small producers, such as those I met at the French Broad Food Co-op Tailgate Market, to stay in business. In the Western HAGAN part of our state in particular, demand for local foods is increasing. Nationally, local food sales to consumers are expected to reach $7 billion next year. These changing consumer demands are creating economic opportunities in rural North Carolina communities. More than 3,700 farmers in North Carolina sell directly to consumers, and they have generated $29 million in economic activity through sales at 200 North Carolina farmers markets and more than 100 community-supported agriculture organizations.

Fiscal mission isn’t impossible ALEIGH — The classic spy show “Mission: Impossible” was exciting, excellent — and misnamed. At the beginning of each episode, the Jim Phelps character played by Peter Graves would receive a recording that laid out a seemingly impossible mission. After the tape famously self-destructed within five seconds, Phelps and his team would then show that the mission wasn’t impossible at all. Just really challenging. Admittedly, the title “Mission: Really Challenging” would have lacked a certain pizzazz. But it’s not a bad label to attach to the task of closing North Carolina’s big budget deficit next year without raising the state’s already onerous tax rates. Outgoing legislative leaders and their allies within media and lobbying circles would clearly prefer the term “impossible.” They want to JOHN convince the public, who went the polls this fall to cast a HOOD vote for fiscal conservatism, that North Carolina’s fiscal challenges can’t be met without raising taxes. Their claim is false. And since it rests on the assumption that North Carolinians possess too much of their own income, it’s a pretty hard sell. Here’s the situation at a glance. After two years of stumbling through fiscal problems with federal bailouts and temporary taxes, North Carolina’s state government has around $20.6 billion worth of spending vs. about $17.4 billion in expected state revenue. There’s some quibbling about the precise figures, but essentially the state has a projected deficit in 2011-12 of around 16 percent. Closing it will be exceedingly difficult. It will require reductions in every agency and department, from education to health care to public safety. It will require the elimination of thousands of employee positions (though not all by layoffs). It will require setting firm priorities and standing up to powerful spending lobbies. But impossible? Hardly. The gap between North Carolina’s projected budget and revenue is nearly the same as the gap between the current cost of North Carolina’s government and than of Tennessee, South Carolina, Kentucky, South Dakota, Montana, Arizona, and New Mexico. While these states certainly don’t possess perfectly managed governments, and many face fiscal problems of their own this year, it is contrary to reality to
R
suggest that North Carolina can’t deliver core government services with a proportionally smaller budget. How might Gov. Beverly Perdue and the incoming Republican Legislature accomplish this challenging task? Here are the broad outlines of a feasible plan to close the deficit: • Save around $1.7 billion in the state’s education budget by reducing non-teaching positions in public schools by about 30 percent, rolling back recent class-size reductions, and focusing state higher-education funding on undergraduate instruction while raising tuition and private fundraising. • Save about $800 million in health and human services by reducing Medicaid services and eligibility, reforming other entitlement and public-assistance programs, and focusing day-care subsidies only on special preschool interventions for our poorest children. • Save around $100 million across the state’s range of justice and public safety programs, including changes in inmate health care, regulations, and sentences for nonviolent offenders. • Save approximately $300 million by major reductions in the rest of state government, including an end to business subsidies, increased user fees for non-core public services, reductions in the state workforce, and a state agency reorganization that eliminates redundancies and improves accountability to the public. • Close the remaining gap by selling state-owned assets and reclaiming revenues due to the state but currently routed elsewhere, such as the tobacco settlement money going to nonprofits and overhead receipts from research grants won through the use of taxpayer-funded university labs and facilities. These fiscal measures will be difficult and painful, to be sure. But they simply reflect the application to government of the economic realities that North Carolina households and business have been grappling with for years now. If past governors and legislatures had listened to fiscal conservatives in the past, when we argued that 7 percent to 10 percent annual spending hikes were unsustainable and irresponsible, the state wouldn’t face such a yawning deficit. But they didn’t, so now the mission is to clean up their mess. It’s challenging, not impossible. • • • John Hood is president of the John Locke Foundation and publisher of CarolinaJournal.com.
he Constitution states “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” The Supreme Court has periodically “interpreted” this to mean that even a local school board is prohibited from stating that each school day start with a recitation of the Lord’s Prayer. The fact is, though, that this “establishment” clause simply states that NO laws can be made concerning religion or the free exercise of religion. No laws requiring or (more importantly) no laws prohibiting establishment can be enacted. Thus, instructing schools to not recite this (or any non-denominational) prayer is absurdly unconstitutional. (Note that respecting means “concerning,” not “respectful of.”) The courts erased an inalienable right; the first guarantee in the Bill of Rights. Incidentally, the phrase “separation of church and state” never appeared in any founding documents or discussions. Since then, education has suffered. Test scores globally reveal that up to 25 countries are ahead of us academically. Budding scientists receive grants to further global warming fears, but little else. Sixty years ago, Russia couldn’t develop its own nuclear weapons, so the Russians stole our technology. Yet, when their spies were discovered here recently, they were treated merely as celebrities and never questioned. Evidently, no innovations, no secrets, are worth protecting now. This is no reflection on today’s teachers, who (thankfully) are among the best in the world. Two hundred years ago, each state chose its own religion. State constitutions contained Christian prayers. Passages from the “Book of Common Prayer” were recited daily in school. Government buildings were emblazoned with Christian symbols; prayer preceded public events. Congress purchased the first Bibles in the United States; printed inside the front cover was “This Bible is intended for use in all public schools.” Harvard was called “Holy Harvard.” More recently, in addition to Al Gore’s muchdiscredited film “An Inconvenient Truth,” schools across the country show the “Story of Stuff,” an anti-capitalist effort that is barely perceptible in its undermining of Christianity. From www.storyofstuff.com: “We amplify public discourse on a series of environmental, social and economic concerns and facilitate the growing Story of Stuff community’s involvement in strategic efforts to build a more sustainable and just world. Our on-line community includes over 150,000 activists and we partner with hundreds of environmental and social justice organizations worldwide to create and distribute our films, curricula and other content.” This is just the latest, leading impressionable minds to accept, with deep-rooted conviction, that the Earth itself is God, and rights of man are secondary not only to it, but to animals and plants as well. Consider these examples: (1) Almost 100 families in Maryland will lose their homes to erosion. Stopping the erosion would disturb the home of an endangered beetle. (2) Destroying an eagle’s egg is a crime, but abortion is not. A bird embryo has value, but a human one does not. (3) Farmers in California had their water supply cut off, turning lush farms into a desert (bankrupting farmers), because a 3-inch fish (the Pacific smelt) was threatened. Unfortunately, indoctrinating children in school isn’t enough. Young people in churches are now targeted in an attempt to change the basic Christian belief of reliance on and obedience to God to submission to and reliance on government. This is necessary for the peaceful transition from a constitutional republic to socialism. “The Story of Stuff Project and GreenFaith are pleased to release ‘Let There Be Stuff?’ — a six-session curriculum that helps Christian teenagers explore the relationship between their consumption, their faith and the health of the planet. Over the past five years, the pace and scope of religious engagement on the environment has accelerated sharply.” In hundreds of churches already, this is liberation theology and social justice. Additionally, the Department of Energy released (August 2008) a National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA manual titled “Environmental Justice.” Instructions include: “Agencies should consider enhancing their outreach through the following means: Religious organizations (e.g., rural cooperatives; churches, temples, ministerial associations) ...” How easily Christianity has been extensively dispelled from schools should be a warning to our churches. It has happened in other countries, to people who didn’t (or refused to) even see it coming. The seeds are sown; too few are sounding the alarm. • • • Steve Pender lives in Rockwell.

Ireland set to get emergency funding St. Louis tops list
SANTA CRUZ, Bolivia (AP) — A newly revealed North Korean nuclear facility could speed up that unpredictable nation’s ability to make and deliver viable nuclear weapons, the Pentagon’s top leaders said Sunday. U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said he doesn’t believe the facility is part of a peaceful nuclear energy program. “I don’t credit that at all,” Gates said in Bolivia, where he is attending a regional defense conference. The facility appears to be a uranium enrichment facility, Gates said, and it could enable North Korea to build “a number” of nuclear devices beyond the handful it is presumed to have already assembled. Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, called North Korea “a very dangerous country.”

‘Harry Potter’ brings in $300.1M worldwide LOS ANGELES (AP) — Harry Potter has cast his biggest box-office spell yet with a franchise record $125.1 million domestically over opening weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday. “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1” also added $205 million in 54 overseas countries, bringing the film’s worldwide total to $330.1 million. In terms of domestic revenue, “Deathly Hallows: Part 1” came in ahead of the series’ best previous debut of $102.7 million for 2005’s “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.” But factoring in today’s higher admission prices, the latest movie had roughly the same size audience as the franchise’s best previous draws — “Goblet of Fire” and 2001’s “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone,” which launched the series. “Deathly Hallows” and those two earlier movies each sold around 16 million tickets in their first weekend.
Survivor describes New Zealand mine blast GREYMOUTH, New Zealand (AP) — The explosion that left 29 miners missing in New Zealand resembled “a shotgun blast, but much, much louder and more powerful,” said a coal miner who was
smashed into the mine wall before collapsing amid the smoky, swirling gas and dust. When he came to, Daniel Rockhouse, 24, dragged himself upright and staggered to a nearby compressed air line to breathe in fresh air and gain some strength. “I got up and there was thick white smoke everywhere — worse than a fire. I knew straight away that it was carbon monoxide,” Rockhouse, whose brother Ben remains underground, told the New Zealand Herald newspaper in its Monday edition. “I yelled, ‘Help, somebody help me!’ But no one came. There was no one there.” Toxic gases after Friday’s explosion were still keeping rescuers from entering the mine near Atarau on South Island Monday, and evidence of heat underground was concerning officials, who feared there could be another blast.
Bad economy causes drop in CO2 pollution WASHINGTON (AP) — Here’s one plus from the global economic recession: Carbon dioxide pollution last year dropped for the first time in a decade. But it didn’t last and it wasn’t as big a drop as expected. Burning fossil fuels to power factories, cars and airplanes spews out greenhouse gases that warm the world. But during the economic downturn, some factories shut down and people didn’t drive or fly as much. The helped drop emissions about 1.3 percent from 2008 to 2009, according to a study published
dict XVI’s comments on condoms as a sign that the church was stepping into the modern debate in the fight against AIDS, though the church was adamant Sunday that nothing has changed in its views banning contraception. Churchgoers had praise and wariness for the pope’s comments that condoms could be morally justified in some limited situations, such as for male prostitutes wanting to prevent the spread of HIV. Others cautioned it could open a doctrinal Pandora’s box. And the exact meaning of what the pope said was still up for interpretation.
of most dangerous TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — St. Louis overtook Camden, N.J., as the nation’s most dangerous city in 2009, according to a national study released Sunday. The study by CQ Press found St. Louis had 2,070.1 violent crimes per 100,000 residents, compared with a national average of 429.4. That helped St. Louis beat out Camden, which topped last year’s list and was the most dangerous city for 2003 and 2004. Detroit, Flint, Mich., and Oakland, Calif., rounded out the top five. For the second
straight year, the safest city with more than 75,000 residents was Colonie, N.Y. The annual rankings are based on population figures and crime data compiled by the FBI. Some criminologists question the findings, saying the methodology is unfair. Greg Scarbro, unit chief of the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting Program, said the FBI also discourages these types of rankings. A spokeswoman for the St. Louis Police Department, called the rankings irresponsible.

DUBLIN (AP) — Debtstruck Ireland formally applied Sunday for a massive EU-IMF loan to stem the flight of capital from its banks, joining Greece in a step unthinkable only a few years ago when Ireland was a booming Celtic Tiger and the economic envy of Europe. European Union finance ministers quickly agreed to the bailout, saying it “is warranted to safeguard financial stability in the EU and euro area.” The European Central Bank, which oversees monetary policy for the 16-nation eurozone, welcomed the agreement and confirmed that the International Monetary Fund would contribute financing, while Sweden and Britain — not members of the euro currency — said they were willing to provide bilateral loans to Ireland, too. Irish Finance Minister Brian Lenihan spent much of the night talking to other eurozone financial chiefs about the complex terms and conditions of the emergency aid package taking shape. Lenihan said Ireland needed less than $140 billion to use as a credit line for its statebacked banks, which are losing deposits and struggling to borrow funds on open markets.

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — The lawyer for three Americans facing espionage charges in Iran said Sunday that a new trial date of Feb. 6 has been set but that the judge has refused to allow him to meet with his clients to prepare a defense. The trial was to have started on Nov. 6, but authorities said they delayed it because one of the Americans, who was freed on bail, had not been summoned to return to the country to appear in court. Their lawyer, Masoud Shafiei, said he received an official notification Sunday of the new trial date. Sarah Shourd was freed in September and returned to the United States.

source of financial aid funding, the state’s unclaimed property fund. State Treasurer Janet Cowell says that fund will run out in 2012 if withdrawals continue at the current level.

Ed Reed and Ray Lewis responded with two big milestone plays to spoil St. Pierre’s potential storybook day and put the Ravens in great shape in the AFC North. Reed and Lewis each had interceptions that turned into touchdowns in the fourth quarter, Joe Flacco threw for 301 yards and a TD, and the Ravens over-
came St. Pierre’s 88-yard touchdown pass to beat the Panthers 37-13 on Sunday. “It was only a matter of time,” said Reed, who collected his 50th interception and then pitched it to Dawan Landry for a TD and 30-13 lead. “We knew Brian St. Pierre was only with the team for this week. We knew they would be very cautious with the ball and play to their defense, which they did and hung around. “It was just a matter of time for guys to be in the places they needed to be.” The Ravens (7-3) recovered from a disheartening loss to Atlanta by finally rattling Carolina’s inexperienced quarterback.

Catawba’s exhausted Matt T a m e r Catawba 97 looked like Pfeiffer 86 he couldn’t take another step, but coach Jim Baker left him in. “Tamer was about to die out there,” Baker said with a laugh. “But every time I wanted to get him, my assistants were yelling, ‘You can’t take Matt out. Anyone but Matt.’ ” Tamer, a 6-foot-8 junior, has a hard-luck history, but he was indispensable in a 97-86 victory over Pfeiffer at Goodman Gym on Sunday. The stat sheet doesn’t reveal what Tamer did, although he did TAMER score for the first time in a quiet college career that has consisted mostly of X-rays and medical charts. Maybe you had to be there to appreciate Tamer’s contribution, but his energy and willingness to physically challenge magnificent post man Chris Woods altered the flow of the game. “It was just hustle,” Tamer said. “I played defense, tried to get some rebounds. But there were five men on the court, five men working together. It’s not like I won the game or anything.” Some people would’ve argued with him, but it’s true Catawba benefited from many fine performances. Point guard Dominick Reid scored 22 points and led a collection of unfamiliar faces. Freshman Keon Moore enjoyed a breakout with 21 points, knocking down shots from everywhere. Justin Huntley rebounded from an 0-for-8 effort Friday to toss in 15 points. Stuart Thomson looked confident and scored 12. Tomas Smogner brought vigorous defense off the bench, and leaper Kelvin Drakeford shot 3-for-3 from the floor. For Pfeiffer, it was Woods, Woods and more Woods. The 6-foot-6 All-American jumped quickly, showed a world-class righty jump-hook and moved bodies out of his way with his bulging biceps. He matched his career high with 36 points and snatched 18 rebounds. “We had guys diving at him and did some nice things defensively,” Baker said. “But Woods is pretty good.” The first half was a Woods highlight film. He had a double-double at halftime. Catawba shot 54 percent in the first half, got three 3 - pointers from sniper Cameron Lovelace and still trailed 47-42 at the break because Woods ruled the paint. The Indians had two offensive boards in the first half and zero second-chance points.
went the remaining 23 yards for a touchdown with 4:59 left. On the next play, Lewis got his 30th interception, returning St. Pierre’s pass 24 yards for a score, and Baltimore kept pace with Pittsburgh atop the division. “It doesn’t get any better,” Lewis said. “We came out and got the victory we were supposed to get.” He wiped out any chance of an improbable victory for St. Pierre, signed by Carolina (1-9) a little over a week ago. He threw an 88-yard TD pass to David Gettis early in the fourth quarter to get the Panthers within 20-13.
Johnson wins showdown against Hamlin, Harvick BY JENNA FRYER Associated Press

Jimmie Johnson claimed the series title by 39 points over runner-up denny Hamlin.
HOMESTEAD, Fla. — Jimmie Johnson wasn’t the best all year. Not even close. When it mattered, though, he couldn’t be beat. For the fifth consecutive year. Denny Hamlin and Kevin Harvick took the champion all the way to the edge this season, waging the most serious threats yet to Johnson’s reign atop NASCAR. Only the outcome didn’t change, and Johnson maintained his ironclad hold on the Sprint Cup. Johnson became the first driver in the seven-year history of the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship to overcome a points deficit in the season finale, finishing second Sunday to race winner Carl Edwards while winning his record fifth consecutive title. He became only the third driver to overcome a points deficit in the season’s final race and win the championship since 1975. The final margin was 39 points over Hamlin and 41 over Harvick, who finished third in the race. So despite all the wins — 53 of them over nine seasons — and all the celebrations, this one at Homestead-Miami Speedway was obviously very different. Usually so calm and workmanlike behind the wheel, Johnson was exuberant as he crossed the finish line, pumping his fists in the car while screaming “this is unbelievable!” over and over. “I’ve always told you the first championship, the first win, that stuff has meant the
Tar Heels fall to Vandy BY DAN GELSTON Associated Press
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — Festus Ezeli Vanderbilt 72 threw back his UNC 65 head and let out a big “Yeeeah!!!” that could be heard from the island to Nashville, Tenn. Call Vanderbilt’s win an upset because of North Carolina’s inflated ranking — just don’t tell coach Kevin Stallings. “Everyone’s up in arms when Carolina loses,” Stallings said. “Our team’s not bad.” They proved it in Puerto Rico. John Jenkins scored 16 points, and Ezeli and Jeffery Taylor each
had 15 to lead Vanderbilt to a 72-65 win over No. 8 UNC on Sunday night in the Puerto Rico Tip-Off tournament. The Commodores (3-1) beat a top-10 team for the first time since knocking off No. 1 Tennessee on Feb. 26, 2008. The few hundred Vanderbilt fans who made the trip to Puerto Rico serenaded the Tar Heels (2-2) with chants of “Overrated!” For this year’s team, they may be right. Coach Roy Williams insisted after losing to Minnesota on Friday night that he didn’t think anymore about last year’s 17-loss debacle.

Jimmie Johnson, right, holds his daughter Genevieve Marie as his wife chandra looks on. most to me. This one, I think this takes the lead,” Johnson said. “It’s not that the other Chases weren’t competitive. We were stronger in the previous two Chases, at least, but this one, I am just so proud.” Maybe because for the first time since his reign began in 2006, Johnson and the No. 48 Hendrick Motorsports team seemed vulnerable. Harvick was the most consistent driver of the 26-race “regular season,” and Hamlin, with a series-best eight wins this year, was the popular pick to dethrone Johnson. Hamlin carried a 15-point lead into the finale but struggled the entire race Sunday. Johnson overcame a few slow pit stops by a team that’s been in the spotlight since crew chief Chad Knaus benched his team in the middle of a race at Texas three weeks ago.

App. State gets top seed
Hamlin, Harvick unhappy
Associated Press
BY CHRIS JENKINS Associated Press
HOMESTEAD, Fla. — Denny Hamlin’s race began with a slide through the grass and ended in disappointment. There was a moment when it looked as if Kevin Harvick had a shot at winning the race — and maybe even the championship — but his hopes were snuffed out by a NASCAR HARVICK penalty. And Jimmie Johnson was ready to pounce on his two championship rivals’ mistakes, finishing second in Sunday’s season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway to win his fifth straight NASCAR Sprint Cup series title. “ Y o u know, it’s so many turning points in this Chase where it can go one HAMLIN way or the other or in anybody’s favor,” Hamlin said. “Just think about all of the situations you wish you could go back and change.” Instead, nothing has changed: Johnson remains NASCAR’s champion, and the No. 48 team its dominant force. “Those guys put up a great fight, and when it’s that close, it’s got to sting,” Johnson said. “I respect those guys.” Harvick recovered from a pit road speeding penalty to finish third, but that wasn’t enough. Hamlin finished 14th after making contact with Greg Biffle on lap 24 and sliding through the grass. “We just tried to patch it and work on it the best we could but it just wasn’t the car that it was at the beginning,” Hamlin said. NASCAR wasn’t the only target of Harvick’s ire. Harvick collided with Kyle Busch in the late stages of the race, sending Busch’s car into the wall on the frontstretch. Busch drove back onto the track but his car caught on fire. “Just a guy that doesn’t have his head on straight, apparently,” Busch said. Harvick wasn’t happy with the way Busch, a teammate of Hamlin’s at Joe Gibbs Racing, was treating him on the track. “He just raced me like a clown all day.” Harvick said. “Three wide, on the back bumper, running into me. And I just had enough.” Hamlin snapped back at Harvick. “Sounds like (how) your teammates raced me all day,” Hamlin said. Harvick got the last word. “I just parked yours,” Harvick said.

CHARLESTON, S.C. — Desmond Holloway had a career-high 25 points, including two foul shots with 1:01 left in double overtime that lifted Coastal Carolina to a 79-75 victory over Charlotte at the Charleston Classic. The Chanticleers (4-2) trailed 57-50 with four minutes to go but rallied with a 12-5 run down the stretch. The spurt was capped by Kierre Greenwood’s tying 3-pointer with eight seconds left. Charlotte (2-3) held its final lead on Derrio Green’s two free throws with 1:14 remaining in the secont OT. Trailing 77-75, Charlotte had a final chance. But it missed three field goals on two 3-pointers by Green and a jumper by An’Juan Wilderness. Shamari Spears (Salisbury) had 22 points to lead Charlotte, which went 1-2 at the tournament. He went 8-for-11 from the line and hit two 3-pointers. No. 9 Florida 61, Morehead State 55 GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Erving Walker scored 16 points. Chandler Parsons had 13 points with 11 rebounds.
’PACK FroM 1B The Hoyas used a 15-0 second-half run to take control and improve to 5-0 for the second straight season. Hollis Thompson had 18 points and Chris Wright 17 for Georgetown. The Hoyas and Wolfpack hadn’t played since the NCAA round of 16 in 1989, when Thompson’s father, Georgetown national championship icon John Thompson, outlasted North Carolina State and the late Jim Valvano 69-61 to advance. For a half, this one looked every bit as vibrant as that NCAA matchup as the Wolfpack’s young lineup went toe-to-toe with their more experienced

JOHNSON FroM 1B The next day, the crews for Johnson and teammate Jeff Gordon were swapped for the final two races of the year. The No. 48 team rose above all the drama, even after a mid-race stop cost Johnson five spots. “I think this year we showed what this team is made of,” he said. “At times this season we didn’t have the most speed, but we had the most heart.” Hamlin and his Joe Gibbs Racing team felt otherwise, especially as they outperformed Johnson during the Chase.

COLUMBIA, S.C. — Coastal Carolina (6-5) earned the Big South Conference’s bid to the FCS playoffs and will host Western Illinois on Saturday. The winner will take on the tournament’s overall No. 1 seed in Appalachian State. Wofford (9-2) shared the Southern Conference title with Appalachian and earned a firstround bye. It will travel to face Jacksonville State on Dec. 4. The No. 1 seed assures the Mountaineers of home-field advantage in all games leading up to the national championship game on Jan. 7 in Frisco, Texas. “We’re very honored and pleased to be the No. 1seed in this year’s playoffs,” Appalachian head coach Jerry Moore said. “It’s a great honor to be chosen as the top team in such a strong field but, more importantly, it is a huge advantage for us to know that the road to the national championship game goes through our stadium and that we have the opportunity to play as many as three more ballgames in front of our terrific fans.” NEW YORK — Boise State has pushed closer to TCU in the latest BCS standings and seems primed to pass the Horned Frogs with one more big victory. Oregon and Auburn were still at the top of the standings. LOS ANGELES — Southern Cal coach Lane Kiffin hopes Matt Barkley will play against Notre Dame after X-rays on the quarterback’s sprained left ankle showed no broken bones.

opponents. In the second half, Georgetown showed another dimension and powered its way to the tournament crown. “They beat us,” N.C. State coach Sidney Lowe said. “They took advantage of their experience.” Trailing 44-42, Austin Freeman started Georgetown’s surge with a one-handed power jam. Henry Sims followed with a bucket to give the Hoyas the lead for good. Wright hit a jumper and Thompson and Jason Clark connected on 3-pointers to put the Hoyas ahead 57-44. Reserve Richard Howell scored 14 points for N.C. State (3-1), which was trying for its third inseason tournament crown in four years. Lowe again started two freshmen and two sophomores with forward Tracy Smith out for a few weeks after undergoing arthroscopic surgery.
Tyler Zeller had 20 points and 10 rebounds for UNC, and freshman Harrison Barnes rebounded from an 0-for-12 shooting performance against Minnesota to score 11 points. “I believe it’s better than last year,” Zeller said. “It’s something we’ve got to be able to change. I think we always wanted to win last year. I don’t know if we were the smartest team at the end of the games last year. I think

BASEBALL NEW YORK — Terry Collins is a major league manager once again, hired by the Mets to help revitalize the franchise. A person with knowledge of the situation told The AP of the hire on condition of anonymity. Collins was chosen over a group of finalists that included Wally Backman, Chip Hale and Bob Melvin. The 61-year-old Collins has not managed in the major leagues in 11 years. Collins also was considered for the Mets job when Willie Randolph was hired before the 2005 season. He managed the Houston Astros from 1994-96 and the Anaheim Angels from 1997-99, going 444-434 and finishing second in the division five of his six years in charge.
GOLF PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — John Mallinger won the Pebble Beach Invitational, birdieing four of the last six holes for a 4-under 68 and a two-stroke victory over Jason Gore.
Lowe acknowledge that Smith, a 6-foot-8 senior, could’ve helped settle his younger teammates during Georgetown’s charge, although it looked at first as if N.C. State’s newbies might be OK. They pushed the pace to lead 15-9 early on. The Wolfpack again went up 26-22 on a layup by speedy freshman Lorenzo Brown and a tip-in by Howell. N.C. State shook off the loss of Smith — he returned to campus after injuring his knee in Thursday’s game — and blew past East Carolina and George Mason by double-digit margins. But when pressed, the Wolfpack’s young players couldn’t maintain their composure. They rushed shots and, while they ran with abandon, did not play with direction. C.J. Leslie, a freshman who keyed N.C. State’s first two wins, had only two points after halftime.
we’re a lot smarter this year.” A three-point play by Zeller pulled UNC within 59-57, but it wasn’t enough. Vanderbilt fattened the lead from the free-throw line and Taylor slid down the baseline for a banked layup and 65-58 lead. Lance Goulbourne slammed home a 3-point miss for a seven-point lead with 1:20 left. The was all for North Carolina. “What I’m looking for is five guys
that play together as one,” Williams said. It was an emotional win for Stallings, who was an assistant for Williams at Kansas from 1989-1993 when the Jayhawks went to two Final Fours. “I’m very, very happy for my team, but, this (win) feels not as good as the rest of them in a way for me personally,” Stallings said.
week in Phoenix kept it tight headed into Sunday, and he had a terrible race when he needed only a clean run. Contact with Greg Biffle very early in the race sent Hamlin into a spin and damaged the front of his car. He dropped to 37th by the restart and had to work all day to finish 14th. “We had a great year, we won the most races that we ever won, we contended like we’ve never contended before and just circumstances took us out of this one,” Hamlin said. Harvick, meanwhile, took the lead on a round of pit stops with 80 laps to go, but was flagged for speeding as he entered pit road. It dropped him to 29th, and he was still upset with the call after the race. “I don’t think that penalty will
ever settle in my stomach,” Harvick said, insisting that “only a handful of people” get to see the pit road speeds. “I won’t ever settle for that.” But he wasn’t devastated by the defeat, pointing to all the gains made this year by Richard Childress Racing. A year after failing to put any cars into the Chase, RCR had three in the field and Harvick, winner of two races, led the points for most of the regular season. “It’s a 180 for us,” Harvick said. While Harvick could find the bright spots, Hamlin, sitting next to him at the podium, had a harder time finding much to be happy about. With a vacant look and muffled answers, he vowed to come back stronger. “My job is to work in the offseason to do everything I can to be better and,
you know, I know every year that I am in the Cup series, I’m going to be better than I was the previous year,” Hamlin said. “We’re going to keep working and go get them next year.” As both drivers discussed their day, Johnson’s championship celebration was shown on the multiple televisions hanging around the room and both drivers watched portions of the presentation. Who could blame them? It was history. The fifth title moved Johnson past Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jeff Gordon for most titles among active drivers. He now ranks third on the career list behind seven-time champions and Hall of Famers Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt. “Finally, finally, after being able
to pull this off, he’ll get the respect and the rewards that he deserves,” Knaus said. The championship was a record 10th for Hendrick Motorsports, which broke a tie with Petty Enterprise for most in NASCAR. Johnson and HMS also joined three other pro teams — the Boston Celtics, New York Yankees and Montreal Canadiens — to win five consecutive titles. The Celtics are the all-time leaders with eight consecutive NBA titles. “Somebody has got to win it, and I’m glad it was us,” team owner Rick Hendrick said, noting “this race was so up and down. It was like who’s going to screw up the most?” Not Johnson and Knaus, who once again showed why they’ve been so good for so long.
with Vinny Testaverde for the franchise lead. Derrick Mason became the 13th player in NFL history with 900 career catches in the third quarter. And they needed it all to fend off the Panthers. “You just get tired of the little victories being your only ones,” left tackle Jordan Gross said. Mike Goodson rushed for 120 yards, his second straight 100-yard game after Carolina’s top three running backs were sidelined with injuries. St. Pierre was 13 of 28 for 173 yards, but his two late interceptions sent the Panthers to their fourth straight loss. “Even though I haven’t played a
lot in this league, I have a lot of pride doing a job and doing my job right,” St. Pierre said. “I wish I did it a little better today.” St. Pierre, who just over a week ago was a stay-at-home dad, hadn’t been in the NFL since the end of last season. Embattled coach John Fox gave him the starting job over rookie Tony Pike after Matt Moore (shoulder) and Jimmy Clausen (concussion) were sidelined in the past two weeks. The 30-year-old St. Pierre, who played at Boston College and was a 2003 fifth-round pick by Pittsburgh, had thrown five passes in eight years as mostly a No. 3 QB with the Steel-
ers, Ravens and Cardinals. He spent the first three quarters throwing only short swing passes and screens — even on third-and-long — and the Panthers had 39 yards passing entering the fourth quarter. When he finally got a chance to air it out, it gave the Panthers brief hope. St. Pierre’s long spiral down the left sideline was caught in stride by the rookie Gettis, who bolted for a touchdown and the second-longest play in franchise history. It cut Baltimore’s once 17-point lead to seven with 14:44 left. To put that into perspective, that pass was more than seven times the yards passing St. Pierre had in his
career (12 yards) coming into the game. Reed and Lewis soon ended Carolina’s chances, much to the delight of a crowd that included thousands of Baltimore fans. “I didn’t want to be the reason we lost,” St. Pierre said. “Unfortunately, I was definitely part of it.” As the Panthers moved ahead of victorious Buffalo in the race for the No. 1 draft pick, the Ravens close with four of six at home. “I don’t think we played as great as we wanted to at times and we’re going to have to look at that,” said Flacco, who was 24 of 33 with no interceptions, “But it was good to come down here and get a win.”

Sunday’s stars STARS Passing Drew Brees, Saints, was 29 of 42 for 382 yards and four touchdowns in New Orleans’ 34-19 win over Seattle. Matt Hasselbeck, Seahawks, was 32 of 44 for 366 yards. Donovan McNabb, Redskins, was 30 of 50 for 376 yards and a touchdown in Washington’s 19-16 overtime win over Tennessee. Mark Sanchez, Jets, was 22 for 38 for 315 yards and three touchdowns in New York’s 3027 win over Houston. Aaron Rodgers, Packers, threw for 301 yards and four touchdowns in Green Bay’s 31-3 win over former teammate Brett Favre and Minnesota. Ben Roethlisberger, Steelers, had 275 yards and three touchdowns passing and 55 yards and a score rushing in Pittsburgh’s 35-3 win over Oakland. Ryan Fitzpatrick, Bills, matched his career high with four touchdown passes, going 21 of 34 for 316 yards and two interceptions in Buffalo’s 49-31 win over Cincinnati. Joe Flacco, Ravens, threw for 301 yards and a touchdown in Baltimore’s 37-13 win over Carolina. Matt Ryan, Falcons, was 26 of 39 for 253 yards with two touchdowns in Atlanta’s 34-17 win over St. Louis.
Jets win in final seconds Associated Press EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Santonio Holmes caught a 6-yard touchdown pass from Mark Sanchez with 10 seconds left, lifting the New York Jets to a stunning 30-27 comeback victory over the Houston Texans on Sunday. After New York blew a 16point lead in the fourth quarter, the Jets trailed 27-23 with less than a minute left. But Sanchez completed two passes to LaDainian Tomlinson and then had a pretty 42-yard pass to Braylon Edwards with 16 seconds remaining. On the next play, Sanchez found Holmes streaking into the left corner of the end zone for the winning score for the Jets (8-2). A video replay confirmed that Holmes, whose 37yard touchdown catch won it in overtime at Cleveland last week, got both feet in bounds. Patriots 31, Colts 28 FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Tom Brady barely outdueled Peyton Manning in their annual meeting, leading New England over Indianapolis. The teams met for the eighth straight season, and Brady guided the Patriots (82) to a 31-14 lead before fourtime MVP Manning led a spirited comeback. But Manning was intercepted in the final moments for the third time. Brady tied another QB icon for an NFL mark. Brady has won 25 straight regular-season home starts, equaling Brett Favre’s record when he was with Green Bay. Steelers 35, Raiders 3 PITTSBURGH — James Harrison caused two turnovers that Ben Roethlisberger turned into touchdown passes and the Steelers went on to rout the Raiders. Harrison led a defense that drove Raiders quarterback Jason Campbell from the game, and finished with five tackles, two sacks, an interception and a forced fumble. The former AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year also was called for a penalty for slamming Campbell to the turf as the quarterback was throwing a pass. Roethlisberger finished with three TD passes and also ran for one. He threw scoring passes of 52 yards to Mike Wallace, 22 yards to rookie Emmanuel Sanders and 16 yards to Isaac Redman. He also scrambled 16 yards for a touchdown. Raiders defensive end Richard Seymour was ejected for an openhanded punch to Roethlisberger’s face as the Steelers QB was celebrating his TD pass to Sanders. Redskins 19, Titans 16 OT NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Graham Gano kicked a 48yard field goal with 8:17 left in overtime to lift Washington. Titans quarterback Vince Young left the game with an injured thumb on his throwing hand, and was replaced by rookie Rusty Smith. The win came on a day when at least seven Redskins went to the sideline with injuries, including Clinton Portis with a re-injured groin. Gano’s winner was his fourth field goal of the game. He also missed two — a 51yarder to end the first half and a 47-yard attempt at the end of regulation that fell short. Donovan McNabb was 30 of 50 for 376 yards. Packers 31, Vikings 3 MINNEAPOLIS — Aaron Rodgers threw for 301 yards, with three of his four touchdown passes to Greg Jennings, and Green Bay beat Brett Favre and Minnesota for the second time this season. The Packers (7-3) kept pace in the NFC North race with the Chicago Bears (7-3) and ruined any realistic hope the Vikings (3-7) had left to give Favre another shot at a playoff run in his 20th NFL season. The 100th meeting between these border-state rivals was marked by penalties and sideline shouting by the frustrated Vikings. Cowboys 35, Lions 19 ARLINGTON, Texas — Bryan McCann grabbed a batted-down punt and returned it 97 yards, Miles Austin had two short touchdown catches and 38-year-old Jon Kitna had a career-best 29-yard TD. Cowboys interim coach Jason Garrett won his home debut and improved to 2-0 since taking over for Wade Phillips. It’s the first time all season Dallas (3-7) won at home, having lost the first four. The Lions (2-8) lost their 26th straight on the road, extending a woeful NFL record
that began in 2007, when Kitna was their quarterback. Detroit led 12-7 midway through the third quarter when John Wedling jumped over the goal line and tapped a punt back into the field of play. It hopped up waist-high and right to McCann, and the speedster turned it into the second-longest punt return in franchise history. Bills 49, Bengals 31 CINCINNATI — Ryan Fitzpatrick matched his career high with four touchdown passes during Buffalo’s biggest comeback in 13 years, and the Bills won their second straight game. The Bengals (2-8) appeared in control after Johnathan Joseph’s interception return put them ahead 28-7 in the second quarter. Steve Johnson caught three scoring passes for the Bills. Jaguars 24, Browns 20 JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Maurice Jones-Drew followed a 75-yard reception with a 1yard touchdown dive with 1:16 left as Jacksonville (6-4) overcame six turnovers. Jones-Drew broke four tackles on a screen pass from David Garrard and weaved his way toward the end zone. Rookie Joe Haden made a touchdown-saving tackle that ended up taking precious seconds off the clock. Jones-Drew scored two plays later, giving both teams dramatic finishes for the second time in as many games. Cleveland had a final chance to win this one, but Sean Considine tipped Colt McCoy’s pass to Mike Bell at the goal line. The pass bounced off Bell’s chest and landed in Considine’s arms. Chiefs 31, Cardinals 13 KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Dwayne Bowe caught two touchdown passes, giving him a team-record six straight games with at least one score, and Kansas City remained unbeaten at home. In his last six games, Bowe has 563 yards receiving and 10 touchdown catches for the Chiefs (6-4). Thomas Jones also had two TDs for the Chiefs, who are 5-0 at home. Buccaneers 21, 49ers 0 SAN FRANCISCO — Josh Freeman threw for 136 yards and two touchdowns and Tampa Bay got its first win at Candlestick Park since 1980 and only second ever. Saints 34, Seahawks 16 NEW ORLEANS — Drew Brees became the Saints’ alltime completions leader, throwing for four touchdowns. Brees was 29 of 42 for 382 yards and completed his 1,850th pass as a Saint in the second quarter to break a record held by Archie Manning since 1982. Falcons 34, Rams 17 ST. LOUIS — Matt Ryan threw two touchdown passes and directed an offense so dominant that three St. Louis defenders left with cramps in
ll Fa
Atlanta’s win. Sam Bradford also had a pair of touchdown passes and set an NFL rookie record with 169 consecutive passes without an interception before William Moore picked off a shovel pass with 3:24 to go. Eagles 27, Giants 17 PHILADELPHIA — LeSean McCoy ran 50 yards for the go-ahead score on a fourth-and-1 late in the fourth quarter, and the Philadelphia Eagles rallied to beat the Giants after blowing a 13-point lead Sunday night. Michael Vick led the Eagles’comeback.

Monday, Nov. 22 Propitious changes are in the making for you in the year ahead, concerning a social development that turns a negative situation into a positive one. As a result, you're likely to make some new friendships that will last a lifetime. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Take whatever measures are necessary to make sure you are in charge of your own affairs. If you want to be the victor, you can't permit yourself to be swept along by just anything. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — When making some social arrangements, it would behoove you to include an old friend whom you've been too busy to see much of lately. Good things could come from this association. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Get involved in ways to better your material well-being, because this is likely to be one of those rare days when things will live up to your financial expectations. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Do not delegate an important job or assignment, no matter how busy you are. The results will only live up to your expectations if you T.C.O.B. yourself. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — Something you've been concerned about working out to your satisfaction will turn out just fine if you keep a positive mindset. Your thinking will manifest itself in your work. Aries (March 21-April 19) — Friends and associates can be relied upon if you need their assistance, so don't be reluctant to go to them. The best one to turn to, however, will be someone you helped in the past. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Keep your nose to the grindstone, because it is likely to be a better time than usual to accomplish your aims. Even jobs you usually have trouble doing will proceed like rich, creamery butter. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Something you usually have trouble handling will come much easier to you. It won't be Lady Luck intervening; it'll be you doing all the right things the right way. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — After much searching, finally the solution to a vexing problem will be found. The revelation won't come as a hunch, but from all the work you put it into solving it. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — It might finally be the day when you'll be able to get together with someone who has been impossible to see. It won't be by chance, but from your diligent effort in trying to contact this person. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — This is one of your better days for advancing your aims, so don't waste your time on insignificant objectives. Focus your efforts on something important that doesn't usually come easy. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Challenges tend to bring out your better qualities, so put all your efforts into developing something that is extremely important to you. You'll get what you diligently go after. United FeatUre Syndicate

As the holiday season approaches, this week let’s look at the best bridge books published over the last 12 months. The International Bridge Press Association gave its award to one of the books written by Krzysztof Martens, a Polish world champion. The whole series is wonderful, with many having animal names. The material is aimed at good players and those wishing to become experts. In this deal from “Opening Lead,” look at only the West hand. What would be your choice against three no-trump? Always analyze the auction. South has shown four-plus diamonds, fewer than four hearts (no raise), and 18, 19 or a poor
that has a big minus against it: dummy bid the suit and declarer has at least a doubleton there. For the same reason, you should not select a diamond. That leaves the black suits. You might start with the spade nine, hoping to find partner at home there — but he did not overcall one spade when he had the chance. Lead the club three, the lowest card guaranteeing at least one honor in the suit. As you can see, that works perfectly. (If South ducks the first trick and takes the second, don’t forget to throw your king under declarer’s ace.) For more information, go to www.martensuniversity .com.

nadryl to bring her circadian rhythm back into line, but I do believe she should do it under the guidance of her physician, who can monitor her if peculiar symptoms appear. Alternatives include melatonin, valerian, kava, yoga and tai chi. She should avoid all caffeine, including soda, cocoa and chocolate, from late afternoon on. She should also avoid sugar, especially that found in candy and soft drinks. Foods such as dark leafy green vegetables, whole grains, cashews and legumes might help since they are high in magnesium and are a natural sedative.

Dear Reader: I know several people who have flipflopped their days and nights because of job commitments and other reasons. They can get a good rest only in the middle of the day and have no problems remaining awake when most of us are sleeping. The impact on other members of the household is dramatic, as it is with your granddaughter. Corrections of sleeping habits will not be made overnight (no pun intended). You may be in for a long haul, and I can only hope her activities do not disrupt your sleep in the process. Benadryl is an antihistamine with drying and sedative qualities that has been
used successfully for allergies, insomnia and other unwanted symptoms. Its main ingredient, diphenhydramine hydrochloride, may cause drowsiness, dizziness, constipation, dryness of the mouth, nose and throat, and rarely, nausea and vomiting when first taken. Most of these symptoms disappear as the body adjusts to the medication. Medical follow-up is not likely unless more serious side effects such as palpitations, low blood pressure, confusion, nervousness, double vision or tremors are experienced. Long-term side effects may increase the risk of delirium and slow thinking. A 2009 issue of the Journal of Clinical Interventions in Aging indicated that the neurotransmitter acetylcholine can interrupt the normal functioning of the central and peripheral nervous systems. The article goes on to state the side effects of the medication are cumulative, so the more a person consumes, the more of an effect it will have on the nervous system and cognition. Dependence on any medication, even over-the-counters, could be an issue. Sleep aids should not be taken for more than a few weeks unless approved by a physician. In part, this is because a sleep aid might control nausea or vomiting that could reflect an underlying medical problem that hasn’t been addressed. I don’t see any problems with your granddaughter taking Be-

Dear Dr. Gott: My 16-yearold granddaughter has had a lifetime of not being able to sleep at night. This has been the case since birth. I might add that because of her parents’ jobs, they encouraged “sleeping in.” She now lives with me, and I have allowed her to take Benadryl at night so she can get a decent night’s sleep to be alert in school. She is an excellent student and has no other health probDR. PETER lems. This GOTT works very well; however, I am worried about the side effects over time. Can you advise me on this?
