SANFORD — A man accused of a Lee County stabbing mur-der in 2007 is back behind bars for allegedly stabbing another area man this summer.

Investigators say Jonathan Filmore Spivey, 25, of 11145 N.C. 42 in southern Chatham County, was arrested Thurs-day in con-nection with a July stabbing at a Carbonton Road park.

Spivey is accused of stabbing San-ford man Angel Camacho four times in the chest and ribs following a July 25 confrontation.

Camacho was treated for his injuries at Central Carolina Hospital, but deputies have been searching for his assailant since the stabbing.

Thursday’s arrest is not the fi rst time Spivey is in the news

SILER CITY

How exactlystandoffended underinvestigation

SILER CITY (MCT) — Cha-tham County sheriff’s investi-gators are awaiting a medical examiner’s report to determine whether a man died during an exchange of gunfi re with depu-ties late Tuesday or whether he took his own life.

Jason Teleki, 38, was found dead on a bed inside his home on Wednesday af-ternoon, nearly a full day after sheriff’s depu-ties attempted to arrest him. Teleki had been shot in the head and had a handgun at his side, said Maj. Gary Blanken-ship of the Chatham County Sheriff’s Offi ce.

The standoff began when sheriff’s deputies arrived at Teleki’s home on Greenhill Drive with arrest and search warrants about 6 p.m. Tuesday.

HARNETT COUNTY

GROUNDBREAKING FOR NEW HOSPITAL EXPECTED IN 2011

LILLINGTON (MCT) — Groundbreaking for a long-planned hospi-tal in Harnett County is expected to take place early next year thanks to a $38 million loan from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

The 50-bed hospital on U.S. 421 in Lillington, about 30 miles south of Raleigh, is expected to employ about 100 work-ers when it opens and about 300 employees when fully operational. The target opening date for the not-yet-named hospital is mid-2012, spokeswoman Jennifer Franklin said.

The hospital, the sec-ond in Harnett County, received the go-ahead from state regulators in 2008.

Groundbreakings for the hospital previously had been scheduled for October 2009 and in May. They were postponed be-cause of delays in getting funding.

The economic down-turn made it challenging to obtain the money “at a reasonable rate,” Franklin said.

The most recent gov-ernment funding for the acute care hospital in Lil-lington was announced Wednesday by U.S. Rep. Bob Etheridge, who helped secure the loan. Etheridge, a Lillington Democrat, also helped the hospital obtain a $25 million USDA loan in March 2009.

“This hospital will be a linchpin of economic development and quality

health care in the region for decades to come,” Etheridge said in a pre-pared statement.

The hospital will be part of the Harnett Health System, which also owns the county’s other hospital: the 101-bed Betsy Johnson Re-gional Hospital in Dunn. It’s one of a number of new hospitals or hospital expansions under way across the Triangle.

WakeMed, Wake County’s largest hospital system, manages Harnett Health System.

WakeMed CEO Bill Atkinson said the new hospital will cater to an underserved area that includes, in Harnett County, Campbell Uni-versity and that extends to the area surrounding Fort Bragg in neighboring Cumberland County.

“It should make a big difference in the quality of life for [the] commu-nity,” he said.

Atkinson envisions the hospital attracting physi-cians who have their own practices as well.

“I think you will see specialists who aren’t cur-rently in the community ... will now come from other locations,” he said. “It will create a medical neighborhood.”

In addition to cover-ing the $53 million cost of the hospital, the two USDA loans will cover an upgrade of the informa-tion technology system at Betsy Johnson, which will serve both hospitals.

Man admits to coppertheft from churches

CARTHAGE (MCT) — A Robbins man has admitted to steal-ing copper pipes and wires from more than a dozen churches in and around Robbins, Eagle Springs and western Moore County this week, according to the Moore County Sheriff’s Offi ce.

Investigators re-ceived reports from fi ve churches Monday and Tuesday that pipe and wiring had been stolen from propane tanks and air conditioners at their buildings, said Capt. Richard Talbert with the Sheriff’s Offi ce.

Robbins police offi -cers arrested 31-year-old Johnny Ray Sheffi eld Jr., of the 200 block of Lime-stone Road, on Monday. Sheffi eld admitted to stealing from a total of 13 churches, according to the Sheriff’s Offi ce.

He also admitted to

breaking into two chick-en houses near Robbins and stealing copper pipes, Talbert said.

Leaders at Brown’s Chapel Christian Church outside of Robbins, which Sheffi eld admitted to stealing from, were not aware they had been the victims until con-tacted by a reporter.

After checking the outside of his chapel, Pastor Michael Parenti said he discovered about 10 feet of cop-per pipe running from the propane tank to the church’s heater had been removed.

Fortunately, he said, the propane burner was turned off for the sum-mer.

The stories are similar at the other churches Sheffi eld targeted, Tal-bert said.

Winston-Salem Journal

Signifi cant health disparities between whites and mi-norities in categories such as

chronic disease are a longstanding problem in North Carolina. One thing that might help reduce those disparities is more coordination of efforts.

“We too often fi nd ourselves in our silos, which tend to keep us from looking outside for innova-tion and opportunities to bring about change,” Anissa Vines of the school of public health at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill told the Journal’s Richard Craver.

Vines was one of several health-care professionals who

gathered in Winston-Salem last week to discuss the issue. They learned how much overlap exists in their research, vision and pas-sion for improving the communi-ties they serve.

And they considered the 2010 N.C. Minority Health Report Card issued by the state. Once again, it was grim, with HIV infection rates for blacks and Hispanics several times more than those for whites; more blacks dying from heart disease, kidney disease, stroke and diabetes than any other ethnic group; rates of teen pregnancy higher for blacks and Hispan-ics than whites; and blacks and American Indians less likely than whites to exercise and eat healthy, and more likely than whites to be

obese. In Forsyth County and other areas, blacks also have higher rates of infant mortality. That’s especially disappointing in Forsyth, where the rate is already high.

It’s easy to attribute the dis-parity to people not taking care of themselves and making bad lifestyle choices. But that doesn’t fi x the problem, which is probably more tied to economics than it is to race. As one conference partici-pant put it: “Poor wealth leads to poor health.”

The problem must be ad-dressed in broad fashion. Offi cials at the conference last week said there needs to be more emphasis on shaping governmental policies regarding health, such as includ-ing greenways and sidewalks in

neighborhoods inhabited by low-income families. There need to be more grocery stores in poor areas and fewer fast-food restaurants.

And people must be persuaded to quit smoking, eat more whole-some foods and exercise more. More promotion of these healthful behaviors, through public educa-tion and in the workplace, is in order. Some companies provide employees incentives such as discounts on sporting equipment and gym memberships.

The benefi ts of reducing these disparities, and creating a healthi-er population, should be obvious. The work force would be stronger and more productive, and hospital and health-care insurance rates could go down.

Show the Yellow Jacketsthe same kind of love

To the Editor:High school football’s Week 6

again goes to Southern Lee ... regardless of who won. Ever since the opening of Southern Lee High School, I have silently observed the Cavaliers receive preferential coverage from The Herald.

Saturday’s paper takes the cake. There is no way you can justify the huge picture of the Cav’s loss on both the front page of the main section of the paper and the sports section. Plus on the sports section headlines, it reads “So Close,” in huge letters over the article about Southern Lee’s loss. There is no headline over the smaller article describing Lee County’s win over Green Hope that landed them in the playoffs.

In addition, the picture of Lee County’s game on Page 1 of the sports section is condensed on the right side of the page, while Southern Lee again gets the larger byline and picture. To top it off, there was yet another article, an editorial in the sports section in Sunday’s paper about the Cav’s loss, “Cavs still feel sting a day later,” while Lee County’s record is 4-1.

The same thing happened when Lee County beat Western Harnett, which prompted the letter from Sandy Whitehead about your preju-diced write-up and coverage. Your defense was that Southern Lee was at home and Lee County was away, which is no excuse.

Who plays at home and who is away is immaterial. I thought with a new sports editor, coverage for Lee County would improve. I was wrong. If anything, the bias has gotten worse.

I have nothing against Southern Lee. My objection is to the lack of fairness of the pictures and news coverage in the local paper. We have two high schools in Lee County, worthy of equal attention.

Once a Jacket, always a Jacket.

Tax cuts aren’t ‘gifts’for the nation’s rich

To the Editor:It never ceases to amaze me

that citizens of our country have a very basic disconnect when it comes to economics and taxation. A recent letter contained an opin-ion about the proposed extension of tax cuts and the perceived “gift to rich people.”

First, allowing taxpayers to keep their money should never be characterized as a gift. There is no government benevolence involved when the sweat of one’s brow results in personal fi nancial gain. It is why we work in the fi rst place.

Second, every time taxes have been cut, the revenue to the federal government has increased. JFK was the fi rst modern era presi-dent to do this. So the function of not maintaining the current tax rates for the “rich” is to penalize those that have made money. How is that fair?

If I go to school, take risks and create a successful business, why should I be despised? I will have created jobs and income for many along the way. Where does that deserve to be punished?

Hopefully, not in the USA. I cannot stand it when argu-

ments begin with “Democrats” or “Republicans” did such. It does not allow for full consideration of a topic. To limit discussion to “what one party does, the other doesn’t” creates misguided diatribes like the one in the recent letter.

Think outside the party, please!

Letters to the Editor

Letters Policy

SAN DIEGO — There’s a great scene at the end of the film “And Justice for All” where idealistic attorney Arthur Kirk-

land, played by Al Pacino, uses his open-ing statement to tell the jury that his guilty client should go to jail. The judge bangs the gavel and calls Kirkland out of order. Fed up with a legal system that disregards truth, Kirkland shouts at the judge: “You’re out of order! The whole trial is out of order!”

I’ve been thinking about that scene as criticism rolls in from members of both parties about comedian Stephen Colbert’s recent testimony before Congress. Colbert went to Washington at the behest of the United Farm Workers and with the permis-sion of Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif., who chairs a House Judiciary subcommittee.

The seeds for this stunt were planted a few months ago when UFW President Arturo Rodriguez appeared on Comedy Central’s “The Colbert Report” to promote a campaign inviting unemployed Americans to take jobs as farmworkers. The UFW set up a website with more information and of-fered to train applicants.

Number of visitors to the website: more than 3 million. Number of people who ex-pressed interest in farm work: 8,600. Num-ber of people who followed through and got training: seven.

What a shock. One of the interested parties was Col-

bert, who spent a day working at a corn and vegetable farm in upstate New York. The comedian shared his experience with the Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship, Refugees, Border Security and International Law. His central point: Illegal immigrants are essential to the U.S. farming industry because they take hard and dirty jobs that most Americans simply won’t do, and so those immigrants deserve a pathway to earned legal status.

“This brief experience gave me some small understanding of why so few Ameri-cans are clamoring to begin an exciting career as seasonal migrant field workers,” Colbert said. “Normally I would leave this to the invisible hand of the market, but ... even the invisible hand doesn’t want to pick beans.”

Colbert even proposed a solution.“Maybe we could give more visas to the

immigrants, who — let’s face it — will prob-ably be doing these jobs anyway,” he said. “Or maybe that’s crazy. Maybe the easier answer is just to have scientists develop vegetables that pick themselves.”

Colbert was correct. Americans are too proud to admit that they’re not interested in a host of jobs their grandfathers did. But that doesn’t make it any less true. Besides, farm work is a young man’s game, and young people are especially resistant to trading in their electronic gadgets for hoes, shovels and pruning shears. It’s not just that they think themselves too good for those jobs. It’s also because they don’t have the

skills for such work. So let’s put aside our pride and start

treating farm work and the people who do it with more respect. And while we’re at it, let’s approach the immigration debate with more candor and honesty, and stop kidding ourselves about the kinds of jobs we’re will-ing to do and the kinds we need someone else to do for us.

Still, Colbert’s appearance before Con-gress was a major setback for the immigra-tion reform lobby. That’s because he made the event all about Stephen Colbert. He tes-tified in character, hammed it up before the throng of cameras, and turned his congres-sional testimony into a comedy sketch. This is a serious issue that impacts people’s lives, and it shouldn’t be treated as a punch line.

And yet, having said that, Colbert shouldn’t be blamed for making a mockery of the immigration debate — least of all by the lawmakers who, on that score, beat him to the punch. Colbert’s critics include Democratic Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, who hasn’t lifted a finger to advance the immigration issue because he knows that it would put congressional Democrats in a tough position, and Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, who once suggested installing an electrified fence along the U.S.-Mexico border because “we do this with livestock all the time.”

That’s the problem with Congress. They take themselves and their proceedings so seriously. And yet, when it comes to their responsibility to ditch politics and lead on tough issues, they don’t take their jobs seri-ously enough.

Some would say that in giving his tes-timony, Stephen Colbert was out of order. Who are we kidding? On this issue, the whole system is out of order.

No laughing matter

Silly season

RALEIGH — In political circles, the time of year is known as silly season. It’s hard to imagine it

getting any sillier.Angry candidates, smarting over

incendiary ads, threaten lawsuits. They run from past words about this issue or that, saying they were misquoted or misunderstood. Meanwhile, court and administrative rulings mean that Osama bin Laden or the Mullah Omar could be pouring money into U.S. elec-tion campaigns and no one would be the wiser.

Out on the campaign trail, candi-dates of all stripes talk about ethics or restoring values in America. As if any-one who could win offi ce after running such a gauntlet could have the slightest notion of such things.

Here in North Carolina, a Repub-lican state Senate candidate fi led a defamation lawsuit against Democratic state Sen. A.B. Swindell after a cam-paign mailer brought up 20-year-old drug charges against the challenger. The charges against Eldon “Buck” Newton were later dismissed after a prosecutor said they came about due to mistaken identity. “This case illustrates the absolute worst in bitter, underhanded, partisan gutter politics,” Newton’s lawyer said.

We could hope that’s the case, but I’m not counting on it. There are still fi ve weeks left before Election Day.

Another state Senate race is also leading to some entertaining fi nger-pointing. The state Democratic Party fi led a complaint against Republican Wes Meredith of Fayetteville after his landscaping company began running TV ads that sounded a lot like cam-paign ads.

His Democratic opponent, incum-bent Sen. Margaret Dickson, then made reference to a voter fraud investi-gation looking at an earlier Meredith campaign for city council. Meredith and the state Republican Party cried foul, threatening to sue Dickson and the Democratic Party. ...

In the U.S. Senate race, incumbent Republican Richard Burr isn’t for priva-tizing Social Security this week and Democratic challenger Elaine Marshall isn’t for raising the retirement age this week.

Any comments to the contrary that either may have made in the past should be ignored, at least until after Nov. 2. Thank you, voters, now return to normal programming.

With the election nearing, grass-roots groups — the result of spontane-ous, neighborhood uprisings — will be tooling through town in expensive, bright-colored buses emblazoned with catchy slogans.

The latest is something called Spending Revolt. Please ignore the Washington addresses of all the orga-nizers. This is grassroots in action, and a nonpartisan effort. Really, it is.

Watching the campaign season unfold, it’s easy to believe that you’ve sat down in front of another episode of really bad reality TV.

I just can’t fi gure out whether it would better to have an English nanny beat some manners into the candi-dates, or ship them all off to a desert island for three months without food or shelter.

If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face...then I will...forgive their sins. — (2 Chronicles 7:14)

PRAYER: Father, thank You that we can be forgiven of our sins, if we confess and believe. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

No charges for social workers in connection with Shaniya’s death

FAYETTEVILLE (AP) (MCT) — A Cumberland County prosecutor is not going to fi le criminal charges against local social services workers who handled the case of a young girl who was killed.

Multiple media outlets reported that District Attorney Ed Grannis was critical Thursday of both the county’s department of social services and the State Bureau of Investiga-tion, which fi rst exam-ined the case.

Grannis said the local DSS “dropped the ball” when it came to helping police during the investi-gation.

Shaniya was abducted from a Fayetteville mobile home last fall. A man seen with her on hotel surveillance video, Mario Andrette McNeill, was charged with her kidnapping, rape and murder. The girl’s mother, Antoinette Davis, is fac-ing child abuse charges

involving prostitution.A Davis family mem-

ber has said the county DSS was monitoring the household before Shaniya’s murder.

After the arrests, Fayetteville police com-plained to Grannis that they hadn’t received full DSS cooperation in the murder probe.

Grannis asked the State Bureau of Investiga-tion to look into it. Last week, however, Grannis took the DSS investiga-tion away from the SBI and gave it to Sheriff Moose Butler’s internal affairs offi ce.

Brenda Reid Jackson of the Cumberland County Social Services Depart-ment said Wednesday she was unaware of any sheriff’s investigator talking to DSS personnel since last week.

The DSS director said she and Heather Skeens, her assistant director for children’s services, have

implemented reforms in response to social worker complaints that surfaced with the Shaniya Davis investigation.

Former and current county social workers have told The Fayetteville Observer that Jackson, Skeens and others man-age the DSS by fear and intimidation.

Some of the work-ers, who didn’t want to be identifi ed publicly, say that records of DSS contacts with the Shaniya Davis family may have been altered, destroyed or fabricated to hide the county’s failure to make regular visits to the household before the girl’s death.

County offi cials deny that the DSS is a hostile workplace, although they have acknowledged that the SBI may have exam-ined the department’s record keeping.

Deputies could hear voices inside the home, but no one came to the door or answered the phone, Blankenship said.

Later that night, a team of deputies used tear gas to enter the home, Blankenship said. Someone began fi ring at the deputies, striking

a shield that the lead deputy was holding, he said.

They could see his hand coming around a corner armed with a handgun, he said.

Deputies returned fi re as they retreated from the home and reconsid-ered their strategy, Blan-kenship said. Continued efforts to communicate with Teleki failed, and a search of the home using a State Bureau of Investigation bomb

squad robot found no one, though some rooms had apparently been barricaded, blocking the robot’s path, he said.

On Wednesday af-ternoon, offi cers used a Raleigh Police Depart-ment fi ber optic camera to peer into a second-story bedroom window, where they found Teleki lying on the bed with an obvious head wound, Blankenship said.

“We’re here today to reinforce what your teachers have already told you about the vari-ous elements of music,” North Carolina Sympho-ny Resident Conductor William Henry Curry told the students. “But we’re also here to show you that classical music is ex-citing and for everyone.”

Taking students to see the North Carolina Symphony is a long-standing tradition in Lee County that began in the late 1940s. The sympho-ny used to travel from city to city performing for students. But when Progress Energy Cen-ter for the Performing Arts added Meymandi Concert Hall to its facil-ity, the symphony asked that schools within a 50-mile radius bring their students to the venue.

“It’s great to be able to take them out of town to a real concert hall,” said Donna Phillips, music teacher at B.T. Bullock.

Carol Chappell, direc-tor of K-5 instruction for Lee County Schools, said the trip to the symphony is meant to enhance students’ arts education. Based on the fourth graders’ enthusi-astic response, the effort paid off.

“It was very good,” J.R. Ingram student Dalton Peele said of the performance. “Coming

here helped me learn more about music.”

The students didn’t only watch the perfor-mances, but had an interactive experience with the symphony. Curry and the orchestra showed students the different types of instru-ments and demon-strated the sounds of the woodwind, brass, string and percussion sections.

“I’m looking forward to hearing the percus-sion because my brother plays it,” Peele said. “I like all the loud sounds.”

Teachers also worked with the fourth grad-ers in the weeks pre-ceding the concert to prepare them for their trip to the symphony. The music teachers at-tended a workshop in early August where the symphony reviewed the musical selections for the educational concert and offered tips on how to teach students about the material.

“The teachers prepare the students for what they’re going to hear so they can have a deep ap-preciation of it,” Chap-pell said.

The students learned about the songs, the composers, instruments, operas and concert etiquette. They also learned “De Colores,” a song with English and Spanish verses that they sang while the orchestra played. Singing with the symphony was the best part of the experience for J.R. Ingram student Kaleel Berryman, who

said he enjoys being able to learn about mu-sic at school.

“It helps me when I play drums at home,” Berryman said.

Martha Oldham, a lo-cal symphony supporter who helped organize the trip, said education is an important part of the symphony’s mission. She recalls seeing the symphony when she was a Lee County elementary student, and she said it gave her an experience she couldn’t have gotten in the classroom.

“(Students) really get to see what it takes to put together the music they might not hear on the radio or on TV,” Old-ham said.

The fourth graders from the elementary schools that did not attend Thursday’s trip will visit the symphony in January, and anyone from Lee County will get the opportunity to see the orchestra when it performs at the Dennis A. Wicker Civic Center on Nov. 13.

Phillips said she hopes Lee County Schools will continue sending students to the symphony because it provides them with what could be a rare learning experience.

“For many of them, it might be the only op-portunity these students have to hear a live or-chestra,” Phillips said. “I think it’s a real opportu-nity for them.”

over a violent crime.Spivey was charged

with fi rst-degree mur-der in 2007 after a local hunter found a body in a wooded area off of Gilliam Road west of Sanford.

The victim was Thomas Mathew Coore, a 23-year-old Pittsboro man who had been miss-ing for days.

When investigators found Coore’s body, he had been stabbed sever-al times in the chest and

ribs as well, said Capt. Jeff Johnson of the Lee County Sheriff’s Offi ce.

Spivey admitted he was with Coore the night of his disappearance and witnesses reported that he admitted to killing the Pittsboro man, John-son said.

He eventually pled guilty to voluntary man-slaughter in April 2008, receiving a brief prison stay and fi ve years of probation.

Investigators say Spivey’s most recent ar-rest stems from his July altercation with Cama-cho. Camacho reported he was having a picnic

with a softball team at the Carbonton Road park when he began arguing with a group of men.

Deputies say the group of men left the park and returned, with Spivey eventually walk-ing up to Camacho and stabbing him.

Spivey is charged with assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill infl icting serious injury, as well as proba-tion violation for the alleged offense. He was held in Lee County Jail under $60,000 in secured bonds.

Sanford men arrested in Myrtle Beach shootingBy BILLY [email protected]

SANFORD — Three Sanford men are fac-ing charges related to a shooting last week in Myrtle Beach, S.C., ac-cording to police in the coastal community.

The local men were arrested following a Sept. 17 shooting at the city’s Lamplighter Inn hotel, in which a woman was struck in the shoulder by

gunfi re during an evening altercation.

Police are charging 23-year-old Gregory Quick Jr. of 2814 Dumbarton Drive, 25-year-old Joshua Hen-drick Van Ravestein of 5413 Bridal Path, and 22-year-old Matthew John Veroni of 128 River Bend Lane in the shooting.

Another man, 25-year-old Aaron Dominic Veroni of Fuquay-Varina is also charged in the case, po-lice said.

Sgt. Terry Alcman of the Myrtle Beach Police Department said the shooting was reported in the hotel at about 7:30 p.m., when the four men invited a couple into their hotel room.

After Ravestein pulled a gun from a duffl e bag, the woman — who Myrtle Beach police declined to identify — and her boy-friend were trying to leave the room when Quick threatened them with the

gun, Alcman said.After a brief scuffl e

with the woman’s boy-friend, Quick allegedly shot the woman in the shoulder, investigators said. The woman was re-portedly taken to an area hospital for treatment.

Quick is being charged with attempted mur-der and kidnapping related to the shooting, while Ravestein is being charged with accessory before the fact. Mat-

thew Veroni and Dominic Veroni are both charged with accessory after the fact.

Just days after Raves-tein’s South Carolina arrest, he came under the scrutiny of Lee County investigators as well.

Lee County and San-ford drug agents raided his Bridal Path home Wednesday, turning up a small marijuana-growing operation.

Investigators said

Ravestein was storing four marijuana plants behind the home and sev-eral ounces of processed marijuana inside.

In Lee County, Raves-tein is being charged with manufacturing marijuana, maintaining a dwelling to store drugs and possession of drug paraphernalia.

He was released from Lee County Jail under a $20,000 unsecured bond.

Police fi nd powder at home of Concordchief’s daughter

CHARLOTTE (AP) — Search warrants reveal that detec-tives searching the apart-ment of a North Caro-lina police chief’s daughter recovered a stun gun and an unspecifi ed white powder.

The search warrants show that Charlotte-Mecklen-burg Police detectives also searched the home of a man who left a tavern with 23-year-old Valerie Hamilton, who was the daughter of Concord Police Chief Merl Hamilton.

Interviews with the six roommates who shared a home with accused killer Michael Neal Harvey said he brought home a woman he called Valerie less than an hour later.

Harvey then spent the next day cleaning the house, something a roommate said he never did.

One roommate did not see Hamilton because she had overdosed on heroin and was at the hospital.

The search warrants were fi rst reported by WSOC and The Charlotte Observer.

Jury convicts man for killing twoCharlotte offi cers

CHARLOTTE (AP) — A jury has convicted a man for killing two Charlotte-Mecklen-burg police offi cers in 2007.

Multiple media outlets reported Thursday that Demeatrius Montgomery was found guilty of two counts of fi rst-degree murder, one day after the jury began delibera-tions.

Authorities say 34-year-old Sean Clark and 35-year-old Jeff Shelton were responding to a domestic dispute when they were shot outside an

apartment complex. Prosecu-tors contended that Mont-gomery disliked all Charlotte-Mecklenburg police offi cers.

Montgomery faces life in prison. A judge previously ruled out the death penalty in the case.

Plan could keep N.C. jobless from repaying benefi ts

RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina’s unemployment benefi ts agency rolled out a plan late Thursday it hopes will prevent tens of thou-sands of jobless people from having to return $28 million in overpayments they received by mistake.

The Employment Security Commission said it would work with the U.S. Depart-ment of Labor to offset the overpayments given out because of administrative errors between January and May. The labor department also has pledged to review claims in an accelerated method that could prevent any of the unemployed from having to return the money, according to the commission.

The commission began sending out letters last week to about 38,000 people who were out of work for at least a year who were either over-paid or underpaid through no fault of their own. About 15 percent of recipients were underpaid and will be eligible for additional benefi ts. Oth-ers could face their benefi ts being reduced.

The plan, announced after commission leaders met with Gov. Beverly Perdue, also will extend hours at the commission’s call center and the state working with the federal government to offset the money.

Perdue spoke with as-sistant labor secretary Jane Oates about the matter.

STATE BRIEFS

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — A massive rainstorm drenched the East Coast from the Carolinas to Maine on Thursday, causing at least four deaths, fl ooding roads and washing away months of dry weather.

The worst of the rain fell in North Caro-lina, where Jacksonville picked up 12 inches — nearly a quarter of its typical annual rainfall — in the six hours. Four people, including two children, were killed when the sport util-ity vehicle they were traveling in skidded off a rain-slicked highway and tumbled into a ditch fi lled with water, North Carolina troopers said.

The rain was part of a system moving ahead of the remnants of Tropical Storm Nicole, which dis-sipated over the Straits of Florida on Wednesday. Much of the Mid-Atlan-tic and Northeast were starting to move into a drought after the dry summer, and the fall storm provided several inches of much-needed rain.

In Walpole, N.H., Erin Bickford said the deluge was a welcome sight for her eight acres of vegeta-bles. She said she hoped the moisture also would recharge wells that went dry in the town.

“We had almost no rain at all. Often, we could see it raining across the river, but it didn’t come here. It was just dust. Even if it did rain, it would be a tiny bit, maybe half an inch,” she said.

North Carolina High-way Patrol Trooper Gary Edwards said troopers initially reported fi ve people were killed in the crash because two children, 3-year-old twins, did not have a pulse when emergency workers arrived on scene. However, rescuers were able to revive them and they were taken to a hospital alive. One of the twins later died, a news release from the patrol said.

Edwards said the fam-ily of fi ve from Atlanta was traveling westbound on U.S. 64 east of Cre-swell around 12:20 p.m. when their Jeep Chero-kee hit a patch of stand-ing water, hydroplaned and skidded off the highway into the ditch.

Creswell is approxi-mately 145 miles east of

Raleigh.The four killed were

identifi ed as the driver, Daniel Alvarez, 25; his wife, Natalie Owens, 26; Zacharia Alvarez, 3; and Ariela Alvarez, 1. Zacharia’s twin, Ezekiel, was taken to a hospital in Greenville.

Crews throughout the northeast worked to pull fallen leaves from storm drains. Schools in North Carolina were closed and some farther north planned to cancel classes Friday so stu-dents wouldn’t have to travel on fl ooded roads. Baltimore Gas and Elec-tric says approximately 40,000 of its Maryland customers have lost power.

Josh Barnello, 12, took advantage of his day off to take a look at a pond that overfl owed its banks in Carolina Beach.

“Someone was pad-dling a canoe down the street earlier,” said Barnello, a budding me-teorologist who used a wind speed gauge he got for Christmas to record gusts of 53 mph near his house.

Forecasters expected those heavy winds to spread up the coast, possibly toppling trees and power lines made unstable by the saturated ground.

The winds also were churning up big waves that were eating away at a “living shoreline” of rocks, sand and grasses built this year on the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland, said Bob Gil-bert from his waterfront home in Churchton, about 10 miles south of Annapolis.

AIG bailout exit doesn’t resolve TARP lossesNEW YORK (AP)

— American Interna-tional Group fi nally has a plan to exit the biggest of the Wall Street bailouts a month before midterm elections. But much as embattled lawmakers might wish otherwise, the book on TARP won’t close anytime soon.

There’s no guarantee taxpayers who gave AIG a $182 billion bailout will be made whole under the plan the company announced Thursday. Under the deal, Treasury will swap its majority stake in AIG for common stock and then sell those shares over time.

The government loses its authority to tap Trou-bled Asset Relief Pro-gram funds on Sunday. Democrats facing tough re-elections hope voters will see the bailouts as nearing an end.

That will be a tough case to make. Close to $190 billion in TARP money has not been paid back. The Congressio-nal Budget Offi ce’s most recent estimate said taxpayers will never get back about $66 billion of it, although estimates of the fi nal cost have been dropping steadily.

The public remains angry about the bailouts, which were launched in the Bush administration’s fi nal months. Americans have been particularly furious over the outsize bonuses that bailed-out fi rms paid to executives. The anger may dissipate as the economy im-proves, but it will linger until most sitting law-

makers are out of offi ce, said Norman Ornstein, resident scholar at the conservative American Enterprise Institute.

“Finding a way to reduce the anger, much of it misplaced, over what TARP did, is a pretty strong political goal” for the Democrats, he said. It will be an uphill battle, Ornstein said.

TARP, which Obama administration offi cials say helped stabilize the fi nancial system, has been targeted by the tea party movement as a wasteful giveaway that rescued Wall Street while ordinary Americans suf-fered the effects of the Great Recession. Demo-cratic and Republican

lawmakers who voted for the bailout have had to defend their votes.

The deal will give Treasury a 92.1 percent stake in AIG before it be-gins selling its shares. But it can’t be completed un-til AIG proves its strength by displaying its ability to raise money from private investors and regain a top rating from credit agencies.

Otherwise, “this deal won’t go through,” CEO Robert Benmosche said in an interview Thursday. “The Treasury wants to assure itself it’s investing in a company with the strength to be competi-tive in the marketplace.”

Benmosche said he expects the transaction

to take place in the fi rst quarter of 2011. S&P credit analyst Kevin Ahern said AIG’s rating will likely be upgraded in a month’s time, after it sells off a life insurance subsidiary and spins off another in an initial pub-lic offering.

Before the stock swap, AIG will repay about $20 billion in loans it re-ceived from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. AIG plans to repay that debt in part through earnings it generates and the sale of some its subsidiaries. AIG has been selling some of its units since it received the initial bailout in Septem-ber 2008.

CEO Benmosche said

he would have preferred to put off an exit agree-ment until November, after the completion of some sales. But he said he wanted to make sure that as TARP expired, AIG wasn’t again thrust into the spotlight as a “ward of the state.”

Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner praised the agreement. He said it “puts taxpayers in a considerably stron-ger position to recoup our investment in the company.”

The government will receive about 1.66 billion shares of AIG common stock in exchange for its $49.1 billion invest-ment. The shares would be worth about $29.67 apiece. In trading Thurs-day, shares rose $1.65, or 4.4 percent, to $39.10. So if the government is able to sell shares at their cur-rent price, it would make $15.8 billion in profi t on that part of its stake.

Part of the govern-ment AIG’s $182 billion bailout went unused. The rest is expected to be recovered from the sale of assets.

Treasury’s work on the bailouts is hardly fi n-ished. As of Aug. 31, Trea-sury had tapped $460 billion from TARP for banks, auto makers and mortgage companies. Of that, $386 billion was dis-bursed, and $187 billion had not been repaid. AIG and automakers GM and Chrysler held the bulk of that money.

The government is in the process of selling back shares of Citigroup

Inc., which received $45 billion in taxpayer sup-port in one of the largest bank rescues by the government. The govern-ment said Thursday it raised $2.25 billion from the sale of trust-preferred shares, and has raised $16.4 billion so far from the sale of Citigroup common stock. The bank repaid another $20 bil-lion in December 2009.

The government’s remaining shares of common stock have a value of $14 billion at Thursday’s closing stock market price.

AIG was one of the fi nancial companies hit hardest by the credit crisis and received the largest bailout the gov-ernment doled out. The insurance giant was not undone by its traditional business. Rather, it was felled by its dealings in complex derivatives.

AIG also drew criti-cism for continuing to pay out bonuses to em-ployees after it received the bailout. Some of those employees worked in the division that nearly destroyed the company.

The government stepped in to rescue AIG because the insurer worked with hundreds of fi nancial institutions throughout the world. The government be-lieved at the time that a collapse of AIG would further hurt the already fragile credit markets, which had been shaken by the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers.

— Former President Jimmy Carter landed in Washington on Thurs-day after spending two nights in an Ohio hospi-tal recovering from a viral infection that doctors say likely gave him stomach problems.

Carter, wearing a dark blazer, landed in a small private jet at Reagan

National Airport just be-fore 3 p.m. Thursday. He walked down the steps from the plane onto the runway and stepped into an SUV that immediately drove away. An airport police car escorted his SUV and two others from the airport.

Doctors advised Carter, who turns 86 on

Friday, to remain at Me-troHealth Medical Center after he was rushed from an airplane to the emergency room Tuesday morning with an upset stomach.

He headed to the nation’s capital after hospital offi cials said the viral infection had cleared up. Carter was in Washington for a long-planned, private meeting, spokeswoman Deanna Congileo said.

Carter became ill during a Delta Air Lines fl ight from Atlanta to Cleveland, causing rescue crews to rush him to the hospital after the plane landed. His medical team recommended that he stay a second night for additional monitoring, hospital spokeswoman Susan Christopher said.

The hospital stay has interrupted Carter’s tour to promote his new book, “White House Diary.” Carter canceled book signings in Ohio, North Carolina, South Carolina and Washington.

Carter, a former pea-nut farmer elected to the White House in 1976, has worked in recent years as an advocate for peace and human rights, efforts that won him the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002.

In the new book, Carter said he pursued an overly aggressive agenda as president that may have confused voters and alienated lawmakers. But he said the tipping points that cost him the 1980 election were the Iran hostage crisis and the Democratic primary challenge by U.S. Sen. Ted Kennedy.

McDonald’s denies report of dropping health care

OAK BROOK, Ill. (AP) — Mc-Donald’s denies reports it’s considering dropping health care coverage for some employees in response to a provision of the health care overhaul.

The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday, citing a memo from McDonald’s to federal offi cials, that McDonald’s has warned regulators it could drop its plan for some 30,000 work-ers unless the government waives a new requirement in the health care overhaul.

The company says in a statement Thursday it has been speaking with federal agencies to understand the law. The paper says last week a top McDonald’s offi cial told regulators its insurance plan won’t meet a requirement for next year that it spend at least 80 percent to 85 percent of its premium revenue on medical care.

Emanuel leaving White House on Friday

CHICAGO (AP) — White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel is set to give up his infl uential national post Friday to begin a run for Chicago mayor, a job he has long coveted but won’t win unless he persuades voters he’s still one of them.

People close to Emanuel said he will fl y home over the weekend and hit the streets Monday to talk to voters, after announcing his resignation Friday. White House spokes-man Robert Gibbs says only that President Barack Obama will make a “personnel an-nouncement” Friday morning, but even his vague comments made it eminently clear Emanuel is leaving.

“He intends to run for mayor,” one person close to Emanuel told The Associated Press, requesting anonym-ity to avoid pre-empting the announcement.

The move pits Emanuel, one of the most powerful men in the nation, against a growing fi eld of local politi-cians vying for the job that will be vacated next spring by Mayor Richard M. Daley, who announced last month that he will not seek a sev-enth term.

Postal service denied rate increases for mail

WASHINGTON — The Post-al Service’s bid to raise the cost of mailing a letter by 2 cents was rejected Thursday, denying the agency immedi-ate relief from a worsening fi nancial crisis.

The Postal Service lost $3.8 billion last year and is headed toward an approxi-mately $7 billion loss this year as people do more busi-ness on the Internet and the recession erodes the volume of marketing mail.

In July the post offi ce had asked for a special rate increase for letters, post-cards, periodicals, parcels and other services as one of several steps to cut its losses. The agency also had suggested cutting delivery service to fi ve days a week and closing or consolidating offi ces — issues that were not addressed in Thursday’s rate decision.

The rate increase needed the commission’s approval because it was higher than the rate of infl ation.

The commission’s unani-mous denial of the increase was a signal to the post offi ce to deal with what its chairman says is an even bigger fi nancial problem — a $5.5-billion-a-year obligation to set money aside for future retiree health benefi ts.

Commission Chairwoman Ruth Goldway said the Postal Service’s request failed to fully justify the rate increase. She said the requested rate adjustment was not due to the recent recession, but rather was an attempt to address long-term structural problems.

STUDENT’S SUICIDE ILLUSTRATES INTERNET DANGERS FOR TEENS

PISCATAWAY, N.J. (AP) — The shocking suicide of a college student whose sex life was broadcast over the Web illustrates yet again the Internet’s alarm-ing potential as a means of tormenting others and raises questions whether young people in the age of Twitter and Facebook can even distinguish public from private.

Cruel gossip and vengeful acts once con-fi ned to the schoolyard or the dorm can now make their way around the world instantly via the In-ternet, along with photos and live video.

“It’s just a matter of when the next suicide’s going to hit, when the next attack’s going to hit,” said Parry Aftab, a New Jersey lawyer who runs the website WiredSafety.

Last week, Tyler Cle-menti, a shy, 18-year-old Rutgers University fresh-man and gifted violist, jumped to his death from the George Washington Bridge after his roommate and another classmate allegedly used a webcam to secretly broadcast his dorm-room sexual encounters with another man. The two classmates have been charged with invasion of privacy, with the most serious charges carrying up to fi ve years in prison.

The suicide shocked and disturbed gay rights activists and others on campus.

“Had he been in bed with a woman, this would not have happened,” said Rutgers student Lauren Felton, 21, of Warren, N.J. “He wouldn’t have been outed via an online broadcast, and his privacy would have been respect-ed and he might still have his life.”

The Associated Press found at least 12 cases in the U.S. since 2003 in which children and young adults between 11 and 18 killed themselves after falling victim to some form of “cyberbullying” — teasing, harassing or intimidating with pictures or words distributed on-line or via text message.

In probably the best-known case, 13-year-old Megan Meier of Daddenne Prairie, Mo., hanged herself in 2006 after she received mes-sages on MySpace — sup-posedly from a teenage boy — cruelly dumping her. An adult neighbor was later found guilty of taking part in the hoax, but the conviction was overturned.

Earlier this year, 17-year-old Alexis Pilkington of West Islip, N.Y., who had landed a college soccer scholarship, killed herself after receiving a stream of nasty messages.

Gregory Jantz, founder of A Place of Hope, a

Seattle mental health care center, said young people who use the Internet to spread something damag-ing about others often don’t realize how hurtful it can be because many of them have grown up in a world that has blurred the line between public and private.

“Our kids are in a dif-ferent zone now,” Jantz said.

Aftab said young people who would never bully someone face to face do it online in part because of the often-false sense of anonymity that the Internet provides.

“They’ll also jump on because they don’t want to be the next target,” Aftab said.

In Clementi’s case, prosecutors said that his roommate, Dharun Ravi of Plainsboro, N.J., and Molly Wei of Princeton, N.J., both 18-year-old freshmen, transmitted a live image of Clementi having sex on Sept. 19 and that Ravi tried to webcast

a second encounter on Sept. 21, the day before Clementi’s suicide. Law-yers for Ravi and Wei did not return calls.

Luanne Peterpaul, vice chairwoman of the gay rights group Garden State Equality and a former New Jersey prosecutor, said authorities might be able to pursue the case as a hate crime under state law if they are able to establish that the defen-dants acted because they believed Clementi was gay.

Ravi posted a message on his now-closed Twit-ter account on Sept. 19: “Roommate asked for the room till midnight. I went into molly’s room and turned on my webcam. I saw him making out with a dude. Yay.”

Prosecutor Bruce J. Kaplan said in a state-ment: “We will be mak-ing every effort to assess whether bias played a role in the incident, and, if so, we will bring appropriate charges.”

A group participates in a “lie-in” near the Student Center at Rutgers University, in New Brunswick, N.J Wednesday. The rally was in support of safe places for gay students, in response to the death of a Rutgers University freshman who jumped off a bridge last week after a recording of him having a sexual encounter with a man was broadcast.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Legislation to turn down the volume on those loud TV commercials that send couch potatoes diving for their remote controls looks like it’ll soon become law.

The Senate unani-mously passed a bill late Wednesday to require television stations and cable companies to keep commercials at the same volume as the programs

they interrupt.The House has passed

similar legislation. Before it can become law, minor dif-ferences between the two versions have to be worked out when Congress returns to Washington after the Nov. 2 election.

Ever since television caught on in the 1950s, the Federal Communica-tion Commission has been getting complaints about blaring commercials. But the FCC concluded in 1984 there was no fair way to write regulations control-ling the “apparent loud-ness” of commercials. So it hasn’t been regulating them.

Correcting sound levels is more complicated than using the remote control. The television shows and ads come from a variety of sources, from local busi-nesses to syndicators.

Managing the transition between programs and ads without spoiling the artistic intent of the producers poses technical challenges and may require TV broad-casters to purchase new equipment. To address the issue, an industry organi-zation recently produced guidelines on how to pro-cess, measure and transmit audio in a uniform way.

The legislation, spon-sored by Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., requires the FCC to adopt those recommendations as regulations within a year and begin enforcing them a year later. Rep. Anna Es-hoo, D-Calif., is the driving force behind the bill in the House.

During one of the legal depositions that serve as nar-

rative reference points in “The Social Network,” Facebook creator Mark Zuckerberg (portrayed with neurotic kinship by Jesse Eisenberg) responds to a question posed by the attorney represent-ing plaintiffs suing Zuckerberg for fraud and copyright infringement by derisively asking whether “a guy who makes a really good chair owes money to anyone who ever made a chair?”

It is the question that puts Zuckerberg on the proverbial hot seat throughout director David Fincher’s engaging motion picture about the creation – and creator – of Facebook. The screen-play by Aaron Sorkin (“A Few Good Men”; “Charlie Wilson’s War”) depicts Zuckerberg as a far-sighted savant on the online medium but also possessing an almost pathologic mixture of ge-nius and jerkiness whose motives for constructing the world’s largest social network are as simple as revenge and the evergreen need for acceptance.

The fi lm opens with Zuckerberg as a Harvard undergraduate feebly trying to stave off a break-up with his Boston U. girlfriend Erica (Rooney Mara) in a crowded café. Written and delivered using Sorkin’s trademark, rapid-fi re cadence, the conversation ends with Erica telling Mark, “You’re going to go through life believing that girls don’t like you because you’re a

nerd, and I want you to know from the bottom of my heart hat that’s not true. It’ll be because you’re an a--hole.”

In Sorkin’s tableau, this incident propels Zucker-berg, then a Harvard un-dergrad, to hack into the private digital facebooks of various sorority houses and compile them into Facemash, in which users could compare photos and rate which coed was “hotter.”

It is no accident that this infantile stab at social networking – which was instantly so popular it crashed Harvard’s com-puter servers – indirectly assailed two groups: girls and the campus social elite. For Sorkin, rejection is the driving force behind Facebook’s genesis – re-jection by girls, fraterni-ties, athletes, and the privileged. Facebook was

not merely a giant middle fi nger to Zuckerberg’s supposed tormenters. It was his way of construct-ing his own fraternal order in an arena where he felt most comfortable: the Internet. It is a club in which everyone is invited, but Zuckerberg is always the gatekeeper.

The marriage of Finch-er and Sorkin seems odd at fi rst blush. However, Fincher’s dark, deliberate style proves the calming yin to Sorkin’s rhythmic, propulsive yang. The fi lm’s narrative structure essentially consists of scenes from depositions taken during the course of separate lawsuits brought against Zuckerberg, fol-lowed by fl ashbacks to the events that give rise to the testimony at hand. The “Rashomon”-style format leaves room for the fi lm to present the perspectives of all participants, and for

the fi lmmakers to hedge their factual bets.

The fi rst lawsuit is brought by fellow Harvard classmates Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss (Armie Hammer in a digitally enhanced dual role), identical twin gentlemen of privilege and Olympic-caliber rowing champs. This confl ict encapsulates not only Zuckerberg’s unease with WASP elitists, but also the age-old clash between nerds and jocks. The irony, fi ltered through Sorkin’s clever pen, is that while the Winklevosses can be viewed as whiners and borderline buffoons (then-Harvard president Larry Summers does as much when the brothers lodge a formal complaint against Zuckerberg with the university), there’s a legitimate argument that they are truest victims of all, having approached Zuckerberg with the idea for helping develop a Har-vard networking website that he would turn into Facebook under their noses.

The other civil action, lodged by Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin (Andrew Garfi eld, recently tapped as the new Spi-der-Man) is more Shake-spearean. Differences of opinion between Saverin and Zuckerberg over Facebook’s business mod-el lead to a rift between the former best friends, one exploited by Sean Parker (Justin Timberlake, with relish), the one-time Napster co-founder and tech demigod that Sorkin couches as a smooth-talk-ing scoundrel and leach. Parker coos a siren song of notoriety and billionaire wealth in Zuckerberg’s ear (predictions, it turns out, that were completely ac-curate) which prompts a spiral of betrayal and legal reprisals.

It’s always dicey to write the incomplete story of living people in the prime of their profes-sional and personal lives. In loosely adapting Ben Mezrich’s 2009 book “The Accidental Billionaires,” Sorkin takes dramatic liberties in his portrait of Zuckerberg. Unsurpris-ingly, Zuckerberg declined to cooperate with either the book or fi lm, fl ashing a desire for confi dential-ity that belies the man who claimed earlier this year that privacy is no longer a “social norm” in the Internet era. For that reason, “The Social

Network” should not be strictly viewed as a biopic. Instead, it is more a snapshot of a time and place, one of the fi rst fi lms to effectively capture the youthful, technological exuberance that largely defi ned the aughts.

Still, the fi lm does stake his claim as to Zuckerberg’s psyche, one Sorkin believes is not gov-erned by money or fame, but instead by simply wanting a seat at the cool kids’ table – Zuckerberg repeatedly resists Saver-in’s efforts to monetize Facebook, insisting the site would “stop being cool.” The irony is this tech-led revenge of the nerds ends up succumb-ing to the same trappings of ambition, entitlement, and narcissism, as well as emulating the very social caste system they rebel against.

The denouement to “The Social Network” not only recalls Zuckerberg’s personal Rosebud but also the Faustian fate that befell such movie tycoons as Daniel Plainview, Michael Corleone, and, yes, Charles Foster Kane. Like them, Zuckerberg be-comes a virtual prisoner of his success, attaining everything except the thing he wanted the most. The geek may inherit the earth, but that doesn’t necessarily include happi-ness – or getting the girl.

Stand-up comicGreg Giraldo dies at 44

NEW YORK (AP) — Greg Giraldo, a stand-up comedi-an who specialized in rants and insult-fi lled roasts, has died. He was 44.

Giraldo died at the Robert Wood Johnson Hospital in New Brunswick, N.J., after being hospitalized days ear-lier. New Brunswick police Lt. J.T. Miller said offi cers found Giraldo in his room at the Hyatt New Brunswick on Saturday night.

The Home News Tribune of East Brunswick reported that Giraldo had suffered a drug overdose, citing New Brunswick police. Giraldo’s managers declined to com-ment Thursday.

On Wednesday’s “Daily Show,” Jon Stewart paid tribute to Giraldo. Instead of showing the show’s tra-ditional fi nal segment, “Mo-ment of Zen,” the program ran a “Moment of Greg,” playing a clip of Giraldo performing.

“The comedy world lost a good man and a great comic,” Stewart said. “When you were working the clubs, he was just one of those guys that you loved to run into, because he was always a font of warmth and good humor and just smart-as-hell comedy.”

Born in New York, Giraldo initially pursued a career in law, earning a bachelor’s degree from Columbia and a law degree from Harvard. But he abandoned that path for stand-up, toiling in com-edy clubs and on television.

In one stand-up bit — one of his most popular on YouTube — he questioned opponents of same-sex marriage: “George Bush

says two gay people getting married would violate the sanctity of marriage. The sanctity of marriage? Is anyone here married? Does it feel like a gift from God to you?”

He starred in the ABC sitcom “Common Law” — in which he fi ttingly played a lawyer — but the show was canceled after four epi-sodes. He was also a judge on the NBC reality show “Last Comic Standing.”

Obscenity, whale snot take top honors at Ig Nobels

BOSTON (AP) — Next time you crush your thumb with a hammer and you’re in extreme pain, go ahead, let fl y with every fi lthy obscenity you know.

It really does help.At least according to Rich-

ard Stephens and his stu-dents, who earned a 2010 Ig Nobel prize, the award handed out by the Annals of Improbable Research magazine for silly sound-ing scientifi c discoveries that often have surprisingly practical applications.

This year’s winners include scientists who developed a way to collect whale snot using a remote-control helicopter; doctors from New Zealand who found that wearing socks on the out-side of your shoes reduces the chances of slipping on ice; and researchers from China and the U.K. who examined the sex life of fruit bats.

The 20th anniversary edi-tion of the Ig Nobel awards ceremony was being held Thursday night at Harvard University.

The theme this year was bacteria. There was the world premiere of “The Bac-terial Opera,” about bacteria that live on a woman’s front tooth, and door prizes for all 1,200 attendees: bacteria (it was on the tickets).

As usual, real Nobel laure-ates were on hand to give out the prizes.

Whoopi Goldberg coping after mother’s death

NEW YORK (AP) — Whoopi Goldberg says she channels her grief from her mother’s death last month by staying busy.

The co-host of “The View” attended the New York launch party Wednesday for purewow.com, a website with daily tips for women 35 and over. She is an investor.

Asked how she’s handling her mother’s death, Gold-berg said, “I’m here, but it’s not easy.”

Her mother, Emma John-son, died from complica-tions following a stroke.

Goldberg had been doing a limited stint as Mother Su-perior in the London version of “Sister Act” and immedi-ately returned to the U.S.

E-BRIEFS

Defi ance, resilience mark Curtis’ career

From dressing in drag to posing nude for his 80th birthday, Tony

Curtis truly was a defi ant one.

He overcame early typecasting as a lightweight pretty boy to become a se-rious actor in such fi lms as “Sweet Smell of Success,” ‘’Spartacus” and “The Defi ant Ones,” the latter earning him an Academy Award nomination.

He resisted obsoles-cence, continually reshap-ing himself and taking less-er roles to fi nd steady work in a business that prizes youth. He subdued alcohol and drug addictions, lived through six marriages and fi ve divorces, and found peace with a new art as a painter.

Curtis, whose wildly un-defi nable cast of characters ranged from a Roman slave leading the rebellious cry of “I’m Spartacus” to a jazz age musician wooing Mari-lyn Monroe while disguised as a woman in “Some Like It Hot,” died Wednesday night.

The 85-year-old actor suffered cardiac arrest at his home in Henderson, Nev., near Las Vegas, the coroner said Thursday.

“My father leaves behind a legacy of great performances in movies and in his paintings and assemblages,” Jamie Lee Curtis — his daughter with fi rst wife Janet Leigh, co-star of “Psycho” — said

in a statement. “He leaves behind children and their families who loved him and respected him and a wife and in-laws who were devoted to him. He also leaves behind fans all over the world.”

Starting his career in the late 1940s and early 1950s with bit parts as a juvenile delinquent or in such forgettable movies as the talking-mule comedy “Francis,” Curtis rose to stardom as a swashbuck-ling heartthrob, mixing in somewhat heftier work such as the boxing drama “Flesh and Fury” and the title role in the fi lm biogra-phy “Houdini.”

Hindered early on by a Bronx accent that drew laughs in Westerns and other period adventures, Curtis smoothed out his rough edges and silenced

detractors with 1957’s “Sweet Smell of Success,” in which he played a sleazy press agent who becomes the fawning pawn of a ruthless newspaper colum-nist (Burt Lancaster).

“Curtis grew up into an actor and gave the best performance of his career,” critic Pauline Kael wrote in her book “Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.”

Yet it was sheer stardom, not critical acclaim, that drove Curtis, said his sixth wife, Jill Curtis.

“All Tony ever wanted to be was a movie star. He didn’t want to be the most dramatic actor,” Jill Curtis said. “He wanted to be a movie star, ever since he was a little kid.”

A year after “Sweet Smell of Success,” Curtis was nominated for a best-ac-tor Oscar in “The Defi ant

Ones” as a white escaped prisoner forced to set aside his racism to work with the black inmate (Sidney Poitier) to whom he is handcuffed.

“He’s one of those ac-tors who in the ‘50s was a beautiful, charismatic lead-ing man, who became sort of iconic as a sex symbol. Not somebody who you originally thought had a lot of depth. He was just charming and funny and yet he revealed himself to be quite complex and gave some great performances,” said actor and director Tony Goldwyn, son of fi lm producer Samuel Goldwyn Jr.

In 1959, Curtis teamed with Monroe and Jack Lemmon for a screwball landmark, Billy Wilder’s “Some Like It Hot,” which ranks No. 1 on the Ameri-can Film Institute’s list of 100 best U.S. comedies.

Curtis and Lemmon starred as 1920s musicians who disguise themselves as women in an all-girl band to hide out from mobsters after they witness the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre.

It was a masterful comic performance by Curtis, whose character pursues the band’s singer (Mon-roe) both in drag and in another charade as a Shell Oil heir who talks like Cary Grant, with whom Curtis co-starred later that year in the Navy farce “Operation Petticoat.”

GIANT PENGUINS WITH NO TUX? FOSSIL FEATHERS SAY SO

WASHINGTON (AP) — Some ancient penguins may have been twice as big as today’s Emperor penguin but they lacked the dashing tuxedo.

Researchers unearthed remains of a nearly 5-foot-tall penguin that roamed what is now Peru about 36 million years ago, and they also discov-ered fossilized feathers that show back then, the fl ightless bird was a more motley mix of reddish-brown and gray.

Thursday’s report in the journal Science is more than a curiosity about color. Analyzing the fossil led to a new discovery about mod-ern penguins, which in turn raises questions about how their feath-ers evolved to help them become such expert swimmers.

It’s one of the largest penguins that ever lived, estimated to have been twice as heavy as the average Emperor pen-guin of today. The second species of giant penguin discovered in Peru, it was given the name Inkayacu paracasensis, or Water King, part of a cluster of now-extinct penguin species that apparently ranged over much of the Southern Hemisphere.

A stroke of luck helped paleontologists fi nd the feathers. A student on the dig team, from the Museo de Historia Natural in Lima, discovered the fossil’s foot and noticed it had scales, evidence of soft tissue that’s rarely preserved. Maybe there

was more soft tissue, and if so, they’d have to exca-vate extra carefully.

“We got incredibly excited,” said paleon-tologist Julia Clarke of the University of Texas at Austin, who led the team. “Moving really slowly, fl ake by fl ake by fl ake through this giant block,” they eventually uncov-ered a fl ipper with layers of small feathers and under it, fossilized body feathers, too.

On the surface, they’re shaped like the feath-ers of modern penguins. Popsicle-shaped wing feathers were densely stacked on top of each other to create a stiffened fl ipper, Clarke said.

When they looked more deeply, the feathers were far different. The outer shape apparently

evolved before some microscopic changes that may play a role in penguin’s underwater prowess.

Pigment is long gone in fossils. But left behind in feathers can be mi-croscopic packets called melanosomes that in life contained color-produc-ing pigments — and the shape of those melano-somes corresponds to different colors. So the researchers compared a library of melanosomes from living birds with these fossilized ones.

The big surprise is that it turns out modern penguins have large me-lanosomes packed into grape-like clusters, unlike those of any other known bird, while the extinct giant penguin’s smaller melanosomes resembled

those of other birds, Clarke said.

The scientists can’t ex-plain the difference. But they say it probably has to do with more than the black tuxedo coloration of today’s penguins.

Melanin, the pigment inside melanosomes, helps feathers resist breakage. So one possi-bility is that the melano-somes got bigger during later penguin evolution as the birds became bet-ter underwater swim-mers and needed a more hydrodynamic covering. Clarke is anxious to get back to Peru and see if more fossil fi nds will help tell.

The work was funded by the National Science Foundation and National Geographic Society.

Toy-making giantFisher-Price recalls more than 11M kid products

WASHINGTON (AP) — Fisher-Price is recall-ing more than 11 million tricycles, toys and high chairs over safety con-cerns.

The Consumer Product Safety Commis-sion said Thursday that the tricycles and high chairs were blamed for children’s injuries.

In the recall of about 7 million Fisher-Price Trikes and Tough Trikes toddler tricycles, the agency is aware of 10 reports of children be-ing hurt. Six of them required medical atten-tion.

The trikes — some of which feature popular characters like Dora the Explorer and Barbie — have a protruding plastic ignition key near the seat that children can strike, sit on or fall on, leading to injuries that the commission said can include genital bleeding.

Fisher-Price is also recalling more than 1 million Healthy Care, Easy Clean and Close to Me High Chairs, after 14 reports of problems. The pegs on the back of the high chairs can be used to store the tray, but children can fall on them, resulting in cuts and other injuries. Seven children required stitches, the commis-sion said.

CPSC Chairman Inez Tenenbaum said manufacturers need to do more to build safety into their prod-ucts before they reach store shelves. But she

also offered praise for Fisher-Price for “taking the right steps by agree-ing to these recalls and offering consumers free repairs or replacement.”

Most of the products were being recalled in the United States, but about 400,000 of them were sold in Canada.

The two other Fisher-Price recalls were:

❏ More than 2.8 million Baby Play-zone Crawl & Cruise Playground toys, Baby Playzone Crawl & Slide Arcade toys, Baby Gym-tastics Play Wall toys, Ocean Wonders Kick & Crawl Aquarium toys, 1-2-3 Tetherball toys and Bat & Score Goal toys. The valve of the infl at-able ball on the toys can come off and pose a choking hazard to children, said CPSC. The agency said there were more than 50 reports of the valves coming off the balls.

❏ About 100,000 Fisher-Price Little People Wheelies Stand ‘n Play Rampway toys. The wheels on the purple and green cars can come off, posing a choking hazard.

Fisher-Price, based in East Aurora, N.Y., is a unit of Mattel Inc. Consumers can visit the company’s website at www.service.mattel.com for more information on the dates of sale and model numbers for the recalled products.

After devastating loss, Cavaliers look to regroupBy RYAN [email protected]

SANFORD — Southern Lee head coach Tom Paris described last week’s heart-breaking loss to Westover as emotionally devastating.

The Cavaliers, who are still searching for their first win since 2008, held the lead for much of the game in last week’s Cape Fear Val-ley Conference opener be-fore allowing the Wolverines to climb back into it.

Southern Lee eventually

gave up the game winning touchdown with just 35 seconds remaining in the game.

As devastating as it might have been, Paris be-lieves that taking Westover to the brink helped breathe a new life into the Cavaliers as they head into tonight’s Cape Fear Valley Conference battle with winless Western Harnett in Lillington.

“We beat them in all phases of that game,” said

Yellow Jackets looking to avenge last year’s devastating one-point loss to JagsBy RYAN [email protected]

SANFORD — The Lee County Yellow Jackets have seen the film several times.

Trailing 25-19 to the Yel-low Jackets, tailback Kyree Green and quarterback Ben Snotherly led the Athens Drive Jaguars down the field on a 55-yard drive in less than two minutes that ultimately won the game for them.

After a missed 40-yard Yellow Jacket field goal as time expired, Athens Drive escaped its 2009 meeting

with the Yellow Jackets with a 26-25 victory in a game that still haunts Lee County today.

One year later, the Yellow Jackets will have an opportu-nity to do something about it as they meet the Jaguars, who return Green and Sno-therly, at 7:30 tonight at Paul Gay Stadium.

“Last year’s game was a game where we couldn’t make the plays that you have to make to win football games down the stretch,” said Lee County head coach Burton Cates. “We watch that film quite often. We’re a much better team now than

we were last year, but we’ve still got to be able to make those plays down the stretch. We just couldn’t tackle them in the final stages of that game and it cost us.”

The Yellow Jackets (5-1, 3-0) are entering the toughest part of the Tri-9 Conference schedule. Middle Creek, Panther Creek and Cary are all still unbeaten in the con-ference and all still have an upcoming meeting with the Yellow Jackets, who are also unbeaten in conference play.

UnC InvestIgatIon

Davis has no plans to resign despite reportCornerback Da’Norris Searcy cleared to play against ECUBy BRIANA [email protected]

CHAPEL HILL — North Carolina coach Butch Davis said Thursday he is not going to resign, despite the public revelations detailing financial transactions between former UNC associate head coach John Blake and prominent NFL agent Gary Wichard that date back to May 2007.

“I expect to be the football coach here currently and certainly in the fu-ture,” said Davis, whose team had 12 players miss the first three games of the season because of ongoing inves-tigations into agents and academics.

A Yahoo! Sports article first report-ed evidence of six wire transfers from The First National Bank of Long Is-land (N.Y.), Wichard’s private bank, to Blake, a $45,000 personal loan to Blake from that same bank and a Pro Tect Management credit card issued in Blake’s name.

Blake’s lawyers told the Associated Press that Wich-ard loaned Blake money after Blake got into financial trouble after being fired at Oklahoma in 1998, but there was never an agreement to direct players to the agent.

UNC director of athletics Dick Baddour, who once again reiterated his support of Davis, said the admin-istration already knew most of the details of the article

RydeR CUp

Woods, Stricker paired for start of Ryder Cup By DOUG FERGUSONAP Golf Writer

NEWPORT, Wales (AP) — Good thing for the Americans the Ryder Cup ultimately comes down to golf shots, not style points.

U.S. captain Corey Pavin, his voice unsteady at the opening ceremony Thursday, introduced the 11 players on his squad and was about to sit down when he realized each team had 12 to a side.

He overlooked Stewart Cink, one of his captain’s picks.

Then came the lineups for the opening session, with Tiger Woods and Steve Stricker in the third slot. It was the first time since 1999 that Woods was not in the first match, leading European captain Colin Montgomerie to suggest the Ameri-cans were trying to hide him.

Leading off for the Americans in fourballs is Phil Mickelson and Dustin Johnson, a big hitter whose driver broke on the range.

Asked if Europe already felt it was 1-up based on Pavin’s gaffe, Mont-gomerie said:

“I suppose that was a mistake. He just missed the one. He read the wrong name, but that was just unfor-tunate. I think he was very, very good in covering his tracks. It went very well. It was a first-class show up there.

“And yes,” he added, “we are 1 up.”Europe had other reasons to feel

confident about winning back the Ry-der Cup when the matches get under way Friday. It has not lost on its home soil since 1993, and the crowd can play such a huge role in golf’s biggest bipartisan event.

It was evident on the final day of practice, when fans gave a standing ovation from the bleachers behind

CHARLOTTE (AP) — The Carolina Panthers defensive tackle rotation looks nothing like what the team thought it would be this offseason and is drasti-cally different from what it was a year ago.

But the position that was one of the biggest question marks entering training camp has turned out to be one of the few positives for the 0-3 Panthers. Carolina has limited opponents to just 3.1 yards per carry be-hind unexpected starters Ed Johnson and Derek Landri and backups Nick Hayden and undrafted rookie Andre Neblett.

“Right now, they’ve done a pretty good job,” coach John Fox said Thursay. “We’re 14th in defense and sixth per play, and we’ve been out there (on the field) quite a bit. So as a unit, they’re all playing pretty hard and playing pretty tough.”

The Panthers traded away fifth- and six-round draft picks for Tank Tyler and Louis Leonard last year, but have since cut both.

Tyler was the big surprise on cut down day, while Leonard was released on Tuesday after the team’s 0-3 start because he wasn’t producing.

Those decisions came on the heels of an offsea-son in which the Panthers parted ways with long-time starters Damione Lewis and Maake Kemoeatu, who was coming off a torn Achilles, and decided not to re-sign 36-year-old Hollis Thomas, an important stop-gap on last year’s line.

But while the Panthers probably never imagined carrying Johnson and Landri as their starters and Nick Hayden and Andre Neblett, an undrafted rookie from Temple, as their

reserves, they’re pleased so far with the results.

The group will be tested again Sunday when Caro-lina plays at New Orleans.

While the group isn’t getting the pressure the Panthers would like from inside, the tackles are part of a defensive unit that’s allowing just 3.1 yards per carry, sixth-best in the NFL.

“You get guys, you put them out there and you evaluate them,” Fox said of the surprising decisions.”

It’s hard to figure who’s been the bigger surprise for the Panthers — Johnson or Landri.

Johnson, a 16-game starter for Indianapolis in 2007, was twice waived by the Colts and had only started five games over the previous two seasons. Com-bined with a suspension for violating the NFL’s sub-stance abuse policy, there were many who wondered if Johnson’s career was over.

“It was a fight for me,” said Johnson, who came to Carolina in part because

of his relationship with defensive coordinator Ron Meeks, who coached him in Indianapolis.

“I just stuck with it and I’m thankful to God I’m able to be here. I just kept doing the things that made me successful in the past. What I’ve done, yeah, it feels good. But it will feel even better once we started getting some W’s.”

Johnson said he never doubted himself.

Nor did Landri, whom Carolina claimed off waiv-ers in December from Jacksonville.

Like Johnson, he’s enjoying a rebirth with the Panthers.

He played in 35 games for the Jaguars from 2007-09 but was released after what he termed a “differ-ence of opinion” with some members of the Jaguars strength and conditioning staff.

“I think I still play the way I was taught in high school — play as hard as you can as long as you can,” Landri said. “It’s the old mentality of see ball, find ball, get ball, that type of thing. It’s not just about how hard you play, it’s about how smart you play.”

The release of Leonard earlier this week opens the door for more playing time for Hayden and Neblett, who have mostly been inac-tive this year while playing behind Leonard.

the greens on the back nine of Celtic Manor just at the sight of the Euro-pean players approaching the green.

By Sunday, all that mat-ters are the points on the board.

The Americans, who won two years ago at Valhalla to end a decade of European dominance, need only 14 points from the 28 matches to take the 17-inch gold trophy back home.

“I cannot wait,” said Ian Poulter, who will join Ross Fisher in taking on the Woods-Stricker tandem.

“This crowd tomorrow is going to be electric. The roar on that first tee will be sensational. I can’t wait to hear it and I can’t wait to get pumped for it. I can’t wait to give them some feedback.”

The big mystery was the weather.

Celtic Manor already is lush and soggy from rain in recent weeks, and the forecast is for more rain and blustery wind for most of the day. And while Montgomerie said he didn’t try to alter the setup, it has become clear that the best strategy is to play out of the short grass.

This is one of the lon-gest American teams in history. But the straightest?

They should find out immediately with a com-pelling match — Mick-elson and Johnson, who play big-money games just about every week on tour, going against Lee West-wood and PGA champion Martin Kaymer, Europe’s best player and its most recent major champion.

For Westwood, it will be his first competition in six weeks while he recovered from a calf injury. Playing his seventh Ryder Cup, he went to Montgomerie a few days ago and asked to be in the leadoff match.

Montgomerie had thought about U.S. Open champion Graeme Mc-Dowell and Rory McIlroy leading off.

and it was part of the reason the school accepted Blake’s resignation on Sept. 5.

“I’d rather not get into [the specifics] but I would say the substantive part of that we knew about,” Bad-dour said.

Baddour said the financial transactions didn’t establish a violation and at the time weren’t enough to dismiss Blake with cause, but the school was not comfortable with what it had learned.

Blake was paid $74,500, which he would have received if had completed the season. Davis said he had no idea of the extent of the relationship between Blake and Wichard, even though Davis has known Blake since teaching him high school biology, and

said there were no red flags when Blake was hired. Da-vis and Blake also worked together in the Dallas Cow-boys organization under Jimmy Johnson in the early 1990s.

“I mean clearly, as the head football coach, you’d like to think you would know,” Davis said. “But the answer to your question is, I did not know.”

Baddour said there were no signs that Davis should have known of the close relationship between Blake and Wichard, and said he does not see any lack of institutional control.

“I’m confident that had there been signs of it Butch would have dealt with it and would have let me know about it,” Baddour said. “It’s hard in the ab-sence of the evidence that would have pointed him in that direction. I don’t know how he could have known about it.”

The four pillars the NCAA uses to define insti-tutional control are compli-ance systems, monitoring/enforcement, rules educa-tion and commitment to compliance. A coach’s responsibility is outlined by bylaw 11.1.2.1, which states “head coaches have a responsibility to promote an atmosphere for compli-ance within the program and monitor the activities of assistants and staff who report directly or indirectly to the head coach.”

Davis’ contract says he can be terminated at any time upon written notice with cause, including “a violation by the assistant coaches under coach’s supervision of which coach had reason to know, should have known through the exercise of reasonable diligence in the exercise of his duties under this Agreement, or which coach condoned.”

currently in fifth place in the conference standings but all of that could change de-pending on the outcomes of tonight’s conference battles.

“This is where our sched-ule gets tougher,” said Cates. “I’m curious to see how we handle it. Athens Drive is a good football team. The rest of our opponents are good football programs. This is where things get tough and I really want to see how our guys come out and respond.”

With a win tonight, the Yellow Jackets will have secured their first winning regular season since 2006, when they finished 6-5 in the regular season before losing in the first round of the state playoffs.

Cates says that the Yellow Jackets aren’t focusing on that, though.

Instead, all Cates wants is for the Yellow Jackets to knock off the Jaguars to-night and Middle Creek next week, which will more than likely be enough to give them a home game in the first round of the playoffs.

“We want to be at home in the first round and pos-

sibly the second round,” said Cates. “We’re going to do everything we can to make that happen. We feel like winning these next two games will give us enough wins to make that a reality for us.”

With Green and Sno-therly, both of whom are three year starters for the Jags, and the rest of Athens Drive coming to Paul Gay Stadium, Cates knows that earning that sixth victory of the season against Athens Drive won’t be an easy task.

“They’re very explosive offensively,” said Cates. “Their quarterback played very well against us last year and made some huge plays down the stretch. They’ve got some weapons at run-ning back. They’re very skilled and fundamentally sound. They’re an explosive football team, there’s no doubt about it.”

But Cates still has plenty of confidence in his Yellow Jackets, led by quarterback Carson Wilson, tailbacks Cedric Gray, Isiah and Israel Williams and wide receivers Daniel Dillon and Dequon Swann.

The Yellow Jacket de-fense, led by Swann, the Wil-liams brothers, Jalen Woods and Victor Ingram has allowed just 17 points in Lee

County’s last four games. “I’ve got all the confi-

dence in the world in our guys,” said Cates. “If we come out and play well, I’ll be happy. If we come out and improve and make those next steps to becoming a better football program, I’ll be happy. As long as we continue doing things to keep getting better, I’m going to be happy.”

Cates has seen his team grow since its week two loss to Richmond County in a game where the Yellow Jackets were competitive with the Raiders before falling 38-21. Since then, the Yellow Jackets have gotten significantly better and a lot more confident about the program and he hopes they keep getting better as the season progresses.

“We talked all week long about how we aren’t the same team as we were four weeks ago,” said Cates. “ We’re a much better team now. It’s our hope that we can say the same thing about us four weeks from now. Our goal is for us to be playing our best football come November and the playoffs. We can do it, too. Our strengths just have to get even better and our weaknesses have to get stronger.”

Paris. “We just didn’t win it. We beat them. But we lost the game. Hopefully, being that close will show these guys just what it is they have to do in order to win games. We’ve been working a lot on finishing games and eliminating costly mistakes. We want our mindset to be where if we beat people, we win the game.”

Paris really believes that the Cavaliers (0-6, 0-1) can in fact get a victory against the Eagles (0-5, 0-0), who are coming off a bye week following a 31-0 loss to Pinecrest.

“It’s not a talent issue or an issue of skill,” said Paris. “It’s all about flawless execution. We’ve got to be flawless if we want to win.

We’ve got to eliminate those costly mistakes, especially in the red zone. If we can eliminate the mistakes and play flawless, especially late in games, I think this team can definitely get a victory.”

In their season opener against the Lee County Yel-low Jackets, the Eagles com-bined for just 27 total yards of offense. They have yet to score more than 14 points offensively this season.

Still, Paris isn’t taking the Eagles lightly because he knows that it’s just a matter of time before they figure out who they are on the of-fensive side of the ball.

“Western Harnett is a good football team that’s still trying to find its iden-tity,” said Paris. “It’s only a matter of time before they find it. We definitely don’t want them to find it against us. They’re a zone team.

We’ve spent the majority of the week working aggres-sively with what they do offensively and defensively. Now, it’s just a matter of taking what we’ve done and carry it over onto the field.”

Headed into last week’s game against Westover, Paris said he had a gut feel-ing that the Cavaliers would snap their 24-game losing streak against the Wolver-ines.

Although it didn’t hap-pen and Southern Lee came so close, Paris has the same feeling headed into tonight’s game.

“I had a gut feeling last week,” said Paris. “This week is no different. We know what we’ve got to do and we’ve got to do it. It’s time to go out there and play. We’ve got to go out there and earn it on the field.”

B4 SCOREBOARD

DEAR ABBY: I live with two of my best friends. We get along great because we respect each other’s personal space and business. My problem is my roommate “Mi-chelle” drinks alone in our apart-ment. She consumes eight to 12 alcoholic beverages in an evening. She does this once a week, usually during the week. The next morn-ing she’ll complain that she’s “sick” when she has to get up for work, but I know she’s hung over.

Our other roommate spends little time at our place and doesn’t want to speak to her about this, even though he agrees she has a problem.

How should I approach Mi-chelle about this? I’m afraid if I say anything she’ll think I’m accusing her of being an alcoholic. I want to maintain peace in our home, but I’m worried about her. Any sugges-tions for how I should handle this?

— FEARFUL IN FAIRBORN, OHIO

DEAR FEARFUL: You are right to be concerned about Michelle. If she isn’t an alcoholic, she is well on her way to becoming one. From your description, she is bingeing on a regular basis.

The way to approach her is to tell her you’re worried. Eight to 12 drinks in an evening is a huge amount of alcohol. And if she’s go-ing to work hung over, it is already having a negative impact on her job.

Offer to attend an AA meeting

with Michelle. (They are listed in most telephone directories.) When you get there you’ll fi nd pamphlets are available that contain a self-test people can take to determine whether they need help. I know for sure she will have to answer yes to at least one of the questions — “Do you wish people would stop nagging you about your drinking?” — because by the time you get there, YOU will have nagged her.

DEAR ABBY: I have just become engaged to “Egon,” who is from Norway. He has a great job and is studying to be a masseur. He tells me often that he loves me and would never fall for another woman.

My problem is my sister “Ellen.” She’s happy about our engagement, but she keeps asking my fi ance for lower back and thigh rubs. She claims she gets cramps from being on her feet all day.

Well, I’m on my feet all day and my thighs have never cramped up. What bothers me is Ellen makes embarrassing sounds of pleasure when Egon massages her. I’m upset with her because she constantly asks my fi ance for massages, but I also get annoyed with Egon because — in a weird way — it feels like he’s cheating on me.

He says it’s his job and I’m being silly. What I want to tell my sister is, “Sorry, but those intimate rubdowns belong to me now. Find someone else for yours!” Abby,

am I being unduly jealous or is what she’s doing wrong?

— RUBBED THE WRONG WAY IN FLORIDA

DEAR RUBBED THE WRONG WAY: If you are going to marry someone who makes his living as a masseur, you need to understand clearly, in advance, that he will be working on all kinds of clients. This means men and women, some old and saggy, and others who are young, buffed and may be drop-dead gorgeous. Your fi ance may enjoy his work, but it IS work and he will receive compensa-tion for his efforts. If the back and thigh rubs Ellen is requesting have become so frequent that it’s making you uncomfortable, I sug-gest you and Egon agree that he shouldn’t be giving away what he’s selling, and instead he should of-fer your sister a “family” discount.

Universal Press Syndicate

Happy Birthday: Don’t dwell on the negative when positive input will bring the best results. Be creative and insightful when work-ing with others and they will help you to reach your goals. Look past any little pitfalls and strive for per-fection. Discipline will pay off. Your numbers are 7, 18, 22, 27, 31, 36, 40

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Give everything you’ve got to how you earn and spend your money. The financial goals you set now will make the differ-ence in how you live in the future. Look at long-term investments, not fast cash deals. 3 stars

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You stand a much bet-ter chance of getting what you want if you take people by surprise. Love, partner-ships and traveling to meet with people in your life who count will all lead to getting ahead personally or profes-sionally. 3 stars

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t get trapped in someone else’s dilemma. Put your hard work and dedication into something that will benefit you and help you reach your goals. Watch out for emotional manipulation. 3 stars

CANCER (June 21-July 22): If you waste time tell-ing everyone what your plans are, you will not reach your goals. Criticism can be expected from someone older or depen-dent on you. Do not put up with negativity. Love is in a high cycle. 4 stars

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Before you give in to someone’s demands, con-sider alternatives that will ensure you put an end to such occurrences. Talks about travel or learning will give you a greater sense of what you are capable of doing and how to go about it. Problems with a partner are apparent. 2 stars

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): There is nothing too difficult if you are willing to take the steps necessary. Success is within reach but not if you don’t put forth an effort. Plan each

move you make with preci-sion, dedication and loyalty and it will pay off. 5 stars

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You may feel at odds about what you should be doing and what you can do. Rethink your strategy. The changes you make at home will have the great-est impact, even if you face opposition initially. Change is long overdue. 3 stars

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don’t dismiss what’s being offered or an oppor-tunity to network and take part in industry events. You have more to contribute than you realize. Once you get started, the outcome will alter your future in a positive and creative way. 3 stars

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Focus on what you do best and offer what you can to those in need. A change at home may be upsetting at first but it will be to your benefit to accept the alterations being made. Turn a new beginning into an adven-ture. 3 stars

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Recognize and support the people you love and care for the most. It’s your strong belief in your own abilities that can help you encourage oth-ers to give an optimum performance. You have the drive and determination to increase others’ enthusi-asm. 5 stars

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Take a good look at your current situation and you will come up with a plan that will help you budget your finances better and make your life a little easier. Don’t spend money trying to impress someone you want to get to know better. 2 stars

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Love is in the stars and getting together with someone you care for will lead to a greater under-standing and a much bet-ter future. Making changes to your home to accom-modate a new lifestyle is important. Combining several elements into one will bring you the highest reward. 4 stars

Confi dencein God’spromises

Q: I’m having a hard time these days, both physically (several surgeries in recent years) and spiritually. I know I asked Christ to come into my life when I was a teen-ager, but now I wonder if I’d go to heaven if something happened to me. How can I know? -- Mrs. M.W.R.

A: God doesn’t want you to be fi lled with doubt about your salvation, or spend the rest of your life wondering if He’ll welcome you into heaven when you die.

Instead, He wants you to have confi dence in what He has promised us in His Word: That if we’ve truly trusted Christ for our salvation, God has already given us the gift of eternal life. The Bible says, “I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life” (1 John 5:13). As I heard someone say many years ago, “God said it... I believe it... so that settles it!”

Let me ask you a ques-tion: When you gave your life to Jesus as a teenager, what exactly were you doing? Were you just promising to live a better life? No, it was something far greater than that. What you were doing was trusting Christ -- and not yourself -- for your salva-tion. You realized that Jesus Christ had died for you, and He took away all your sins.

Don’t trust your feelings, for they can deceive you (especially when you aren’t feeling well). Don’t trust in your own goodness, either -- for God’s standard is perfec-tion, and no one measures up to that standard.

MY ANSWERODDS AND ENDS

Arizona sheriff says burglars shower and steal

ELOY, Ariz. (AP) — These thieves made a clean getaway.

The Pinal County Sheriff’s Offi ce says in two recent burglaries, thieves entered homes in Eloy, made a mess, stole things and even took showers.

The fi rst robbery on Sept. 20 occurred late at night when a homeowner con-fronted two men trying to steal food and water about 65 miles south of Phoenix.

The burglars got away but scattered food and water around the house along with backpacks. The homeowner also discovered they had showered and used the toilet.

Tuesday morning, deputies responded to another Eloy residence. The female homeowner told deputies thieves stole a knife and food and once again used the shower.

No arrests have been made.

Purdue student turns old Suzuki into solar ride

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) — A Pur-due University student has transformed an old motorcycle into a solar-powered bike with a top speed of 45 mph.

The university says in a statement that physics major Tony Danger Coiro (COY’-Roh) bought the 1978 Suzuki for $50 and spent $2,500 retrofi tting it into a street-legal bike. Two solar panels mounted on either side of the bike charge its lead acid batteries, but they are also chargeable with a plug-in AC current.

Coiro’s solar bike has a range of about

24 miles from each charge, and can go as fast as 45 mph.

The South Bend junior has received a provisional patent for his invention, and he says he hopes to improve his design to create a 100 mph, sun-driven racing machine.

Washington potato offi cial going on all-spud diet

PASCO, Wash. (AP) — Just super-spud me.

The head of the Washington state Po-tato Commission says he’s sick of people linking spuds to junk food. So, starting Friday, Chris Voight says he’s going to eat nothing for 60 days except potatoes.

Twenty plain potatoes a day. And no cheating with cheese toppings or bacon bits.

Voight says potatoes are rich in po-tassium, fi ber and vitamin C and have plenty of protein.

Suspect runs into library while fl eeing police

MISSOULA, Mont. (AP) — Shhhh! Ar-rest under way.

A man fl eeing police after a traffi c stop in Missoula, Mont., ran into the city library Wednesday and hid in a restroom, prompting an evacuation while police arrested him.

Police say the man refused to get out of his vehicle during a traffi c stop. While driving away, he struck the front tire of a bicycle. Lt. Geron Wade says the bicyclist did not appear to be seriously injured.
