Legislative wrap: Not enough money Woman missing a year Problem for state: Fuel-efficient vehicles use less gas to tax By AL WHELESS Daily Dispatch Writer
The gas tax, the sales tax, highway construction/maintenance costs, toll roads and the State’s money crisis all surfaced Thursday during a legislative wrap-up breakfast at the Henderson Country Club. State Sen. Doug Berger, Rep. Jim Crawford and Rep. Michael Wray fielded questions on those topics, as well as the General Assembly’s epic and painful budgetcutting session that recently ended. Several dozen people attended the local/state/federalissues discussion Wray which was sponsored by the Henderson-Vance Chamber of Commerce. “We are $65 billion short in money we need for road maintenance and construction over Berger the next 20 years,” Crawford said. “A sales tax on gas would make more sense to me,” he told the audience. Crawford and Berger said the gallon tax on gas “is killing us” when it comes to generating spending money needed for all kinds of projects and programs. The increasing fuel-efficiency of vehicles means there are fewer gallons of gas to tax, which means a reduction in various budgets when compared with previous years, Crawford said. “We’re using roads more, but we’re selling less gas per mile,” he added. “There’s no tax to compensate for them.” Crawford said the cost of petroleum-based road construction products goes up with the price of gas. A representative for 26 years, he said the State Department of Transportation is working with the federal government, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and Virginia in discussions about “tolling” Inter-

CREEDMOOR — Family members, friends and neighbors on Thursday evening lit candles at a vigil for Kelly Currin Morris, the southern Granville County woman who has been missing for a year. “We have poured out our heart and souls, as has our community, to try to find her,” her stepmother, Juanita Currin, told the Dispatch moments before the vigil, which was at the daycare Morris lot of Creedmoor Baptist Church. “And our belief is that somebody out there knows something. And our hope and desire is that God will work in their heart and that they’ll come forward and tell what they know, so that we can put an end to this,” Currin said. Morris’ father, Pat Currin, has continued to offer a $30,000 reward for information leading to the finding of his daughter. Currin told the Dispatch moments before the vigil that a small search party was out earlierin the day by his daughter’s fire-damaged former residence at 3220 Tump Wilkins Roadsoutheast of Stem. “Still praying and searching and looking for some answers,” Currin said. “I feel for him because you know they need some closure,” Creedmoor Fire Chief Bobby Ray told the Dispatch. Ray, who has participated in searches for Morris, said he, too, would continue looking, adding, “When would you want to stop if it was your daughter missing?” Doug Vinsel, of Raleigh, is chief executive officer of Duke Raleigh Hospital, where Juanita Currin is director of surgical services. The two additionally once worked together at WakeMed. And Vinsel told the Dispatch, Please see MORRIS, page 6A

OXFORD — The owner of Jones Discount Drug Store in the city center said that he will close the business, but that he will join the future Walgreens down Hillsboro Street. Charlie Jones was quoted in Thursday’s Oxford Public Ledger newspaper as saying that, “I’m going to work as long as I can. I hope to try to be a PR man down there and then work into whatever slot I can fit into.” The newspaper quoted Walgreens spokesman Robert Elfinger as saying that the move should take place around the first week of next month and that this is something the Chicago-area based drugstore chain usually does when opening a new location.
The newspaper said that two others with Jones Discount Drug Store, William Finch and Wendi Partyka, additionally will be part of the Walgreens team. And the newspaper said Charles Creech will be the head pharmacist at Walgreens. Creech’s father once operated a local drugstore and once mentored Jones. Jones told the newspaper that he did not know what would happen to the rest of the Jones Drug Store building, which is located at 116 Hillsboro St., but that a number of persons are interested in preserving the luncheonette. Finch’s wife, Betty, told the Dispatch on Aug. 18 that the business would close Sept. 25 and added that her husband would be going to Walgreens.
Jones, when contacted by the Dispatch the next day, said he could not provide any information because the details had not been finalized. The future Walgreens is at the southwest corner of Hillsboro and Linden Avenue. Elfinger has told the Dispatch that there is no set opening date, other than to emphasize that the hope is October. Jones Discount Drug Store has been one of the mainstays in the picturesque heart of Granville County. Jones has said Oxford’s city center was home to as many as four drugstores after World War II. And Jones since 1955 has had a drugstore along Hillsboro Street. Retail traffic patterns increasingly changed after Walmart in 1991 opened at the Granville Corners
shopping center near the Interstate 85/N.C. Highway 96 interchange. And in 1995, the Revco chain — which had a store along Williamsboro Street and a store at the once-thriving Oak Plaza shopping center on the southwest side of Oxford — closed those two locations and moved into what today is the CVS at the corner of Williamsboro and Lanier streets. Walmart is bidding farewell to the Granville Corners location, with a Sept. 16 opening set for the Walmart Supercenter that is taking shape off U.S. 15 near I-85.

Accused in stabbing pleads guilty ROCKY MOUNT (AP) — A man accused in the fatal stabbing of an eastern North Carolina volunteer church worker has pleaded guilty to first-degree murder. Multiple media outlets report that 32-year-old Tommy Lee Holiday of Rocky Mount also pleaded guilty to attempted first-degree murder and armed robbery. In exchange for his guilty
pleas, Holiday was spared the death penalty. Investigators say Holiday killed Kornegay and critically injured another woman while they were working in the church kitchen for Meals on Wheels in October 2007. Authorities say they believe Kornegay was helping the homeless Holiday find a shelter when he attacked her.

Carolina Briefs Black woman sues Billy Graham group over race RALEIGH (AP) — A black woman has filed a lawsuit against the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, saying she was abruptly fired from the organization after complaining it was not reaching out to African-Americans. Kimberly McCallum of Charlotte says in the lawsuit filed in Mecklenburg County that she was the only black employee working in the association’s executive offices when she started there in February 2007. She complained to her superiors later that year when she was asked to recruit congregations to a camp program but found that a list of 635 prospective churches had only three congregations that were primarily black. McCallum was told a week later that her job was being eliminated. The association declined to immediately talk about McCallum’s job but called her allegations “preposterous.”
Museum returns Civil War flag to Rhode Island RALEIGH (AP) — Officials at a North Carolina museum have returned a Civil War flag to the Rhode Island National Guard in the hopes the gesture will be reciprocated. The North Carolina Museum of History said Thursday it has returned a silk, V-shaped flag belonging to Company L of the First Rhode Island Cavalry. The flag was captured by the Fifth North Carolina Cavalry in June 1863 and donated to the mu-
seum in the early 1900s. Curator Tom Belton said the museum is hoping Rhode Island state officials will return a North Carolina flag captured by Rhode Island soldiers at New Bern in March 1862. The N.C. Museum of History said it has the third largest Confederate flag collection in the world.
N.C. man sentenced for threatening to kill president STONEVILLE (AP) — A North Carolina man has pleaded guilty to saying he was going to assassinate President Barack Obama. The Rockingham County sheriff’s office says Steve Lee Stone pleaded to charges Wednesday of communicating threats, resisting a public officer and misusing the 911 system. He was sentenced to two 45-day jail terms, which were suspended, and 18 months probation. Police say the 44-yearold man called a 911 dispatcher twice from his trailer about five miles south of the Virginia border in late July and said he was going to assassinate the president. He did not identify himself. Sheriff’s deputies and a Secret Service agent investigated the caller’s identity. Stone was interviewed by deputies at his trailer in Stoneville. Deputies say Stone became combative during the interview and they were forced to use a stun gun and arrest him.
N.C. city digs up new concrete for downtown plaza GASTONIA (AP) — Contractors have torn up new concrete for the entrance of a North
Carolina city’s downtown pedestrian plaza after Gastonia officials decided they didn’t like the look. The Gaston Gazette reported Thursday that the city council rejected the off-white walkways and decided to rip them out, a move that will cost the city almost $13,000. City officials said it’s worth getting the look right now, rather than regretting how it looks after it’s too late to repair. City Manager Jim Palenick says officials are rethinking the plaza’s overall design. They are replacing the plain white concrete with a decorative variety that is pressed and colored to look like brick. Gastonia City Council committed $600,000 to build the plaza.
Murder arrest ends man’s months of dodging police TARBORO (AP) — A man accused of slaying one of six eastern North Carolina women killed over the past four years managed for months to avoid capture by police searching for him on unrelated charges. The News & Observer of Raleigh reported Thursday that 31-year-old Antwan Maurice Pittman was charged with failing to register as sex offender after he was jailed last month in Nash County. Pittman is charged with killing Taraha Nicholson, whose death is one of six similar cases being investigated by authorities. Police sought Pittman after he twice failed to appear in court to face charge. Authorities accused him of trying to sell hundreds of bootlegged copies of compact discs and DVDs. He also was charged with DWI and driving with a revoked license.

August retail sales decline; slow back-to-school buying stores open at least a year to fall 3.4 percent in August, not as bad as July’s 4.7 percent drop. August is expected to be the 12th consecutive month of declines in the measurement, considered important for retailers because it removes the effects of expansion. Discounter Target Corp. said sales at established stores dropped 2.9 percent, much better than the 5.1 percent drop analysts expected. Health care products were strong sellers, while apparel and home products were weaker. Meanwhile, warehouse club operators Costco Wholesale Corp. and BJ’s Wholesale Club Inc. both reported results fell but also beat analyst expectations. Food remains a best seller and the clubs while apparel and jewelry were weaker. TJX Cos., which operates discount chains TJMaxx and Marshall’s, said its 5 percent increase topped expectations as consumers hunted for bargains. Upscale retailers meanwhile reported a weak month. Saks Inc. said results dropped more than analysts expected and Nordstrom Inc. said sales in stores open at least a year fell 7.6 percent, although analysts predicted a steeper drop. The teen sector was weak as back-to-school sales failed to take off. Hot Topic Inc. sales in stores open at least a
By MAE ANDERSON AP Retail Writer
NEW YORK — Retailers on Thursday posted sales declines for August as shoppers held back on back-to-school purchases and continued to focus on necessities, raising further concern about the upcoming holiday season. Early reports showed 11 retailers missed analyst expectations, while 10 exceeded estimates, according to a poll by Thomson Reuters. The winners were mainly discounters, while more upscale chains fared worse. “It really was all about value and price proposition here,” said Ken Perkins, president of retail consulting firm Retail Metrics. “If you’re off-price or discount-oriented and conscious of price points you fared very well in August.” There have been some signs of a stabilizing economy. On Tuesday, the U.S. manufacturing sector grew in August for the first time in 19 months. Also, a gauge of future U.S. home sales rose more than expected in July to the highest point in more than two years. But any recovery will have to include an uptick in consumer spending, because it accounts for about 70 percent of economic activity. Thursday’s results showed continued widespread sales declines. Perkins expects sales in
year fell 8.1 percent, a bigger drop than the 6.9 percent predicted by analysts. The Buckle Inc., typically an outperformer, said results rose but missed analyst expectations. Meanwhile, Zumiez Inc. and Wet Seal Inc. also reported results dropped but did better than analysts predicted. Aeropostale Inc., which has outperformed competitors by focusing on low prices, said results rose more than analysts predicted. Meanwhile, Abercrombie & Fitch Co., which has kept prices relatively high, reported a 29 percent drop, bigger than expected. Labor Day falls a week later this year, so some back-to-school buys are likely to come later. However, the shift of the sales-tax holidays from July to August in most of the 14 states that have them partly offset the later Labor Day. Limited Brands Inc., which operates Bath and Body Works and Victoria’s Secret, said sales in stores open at least a year fell 4 percent, but that beat the 5.9 percent drop analysts expected. Gap Inc. also said results fell but came in above expectations, boosted by sales at its low-priced Old Navy chain. Department stores remained a weak sector. Macy’s Inc. said sales at established stores dropped 8.1 percent in August, a larger decline than analysts predicted.
Mercantile Exchange. Prices dropped as low as $2.50 per 1,000 cubic feet — the lowest since March 2002 — after the government reported that U.S. natural gas supplies grew again last week and are now nearly 18 percent above the five-year average. Natural gas, a key energy source for power plants, has plummeted to less than a third the price it fetched last summer, and its contract on the Nymex lost nearly 23 percent in the past six trading days.
By CHRIS KAHN AP Energy Writer
NEW YORK — Natural gas prices tumbled again Thursday, hitting new seven-year lows as the country pares down on energy usage and more unused supply is put into storage. That will mean huge savings for a lot of people this winter when the heating bill arrives. On Monday, Spokane, Wash.-based utility Avista Corp. said it wants to reduce natural gas prices for its Oregon customers to the lowest levels in five years. And in the Midwest, Alliant Energy Corp. and Wisconsin Public Service Corp. both predicted heating bills would drop around 20 percent. “Any savings we get, they get,” Alliant spokesman Scott Drzycimski said. Natural gas for October delivery gave up 20.7 cents to settle at $2.508 per 1,000 cubic feet on the New York

Ga. pastor, father-to-be shot, killed in drug sting ATLANTA (AP) — Plainclothes officers shot and killed a small-town pastor when the 28-year-old fatherto-be resisted efforts to question him about a passenger in his car who was the target of a drug sting, authorities said. Jonathan Paul Ayers of Shoal Creek Baptist Church in Lavonia wasn’t targeted in the probe that ended in gunfire at a gas station Tuesday, Georgia Bureau of Investigation spokesman John Bankhead said. But drug task-force agents opened fire on him after he tried to avoid them, putting his car in reverse and striking one of the officers. Bankhead said agents approached Ayers after he dropped a woman off at a store in downtown Toccoa, which is about 90 miles northeast of Atlanta. The passenger was the person being investigated by the task force. A grainy surveillance video from a nearby store
shows two drug task-force agents emerge from a black SUV before Ayers’ small car backs up. The two men fire into the passenger side of Ayers’ car, and then it takes off with the agents running behind it, the video posted on WNEG-TV in Toccoa shows. The station owner would not release the video to The Associated Press. Bankhead said Ayers died Wednesday, about an hour after he had surgery. He said the agent who was hit by Ayers’ car was treated for minor injuries. Bankhead would not disclose the identity of the woman who was in Ayers’ car, but said she’s been charged with cocaine possession and distribution. On Thursday, Ayers’ brother-in-law Matt Carpenter said the pastor had nothing to do with drugs. Carpenter said Ayers’ wife, who is 16 weeks pregnant, is grappling with the idea of being a single mom.
MORRIS, from page one “I’m a parent and I know how difficult this would be for me if this were one of my children.” Vinsel’s wife, Tammy, who is a registered nurse at Duke Hospital in Durham, told the Dispatch that, “It’s very traumatic,” but added that she believes the story of Jaycee Lee Dugard, the Californian who reappeared late last month after being abducted for 18 years, would give a renewed hope that there is a chance Kelly Currin Morris can be found. Moments before the lighting of the candles, three doves were released, each representing the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Pastor Keith Williams told those in attendance that: “We don’t understand why Kelly is missing, why she has been gone from us a year, but I believe that someday we will understand. We have to leave it in God’s hands. And in God’s own time he will answer our prayers. And in God’s own time he will give us the comfort and the closure that we need. “The scripture tells us that God is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother, that he won’t put more on us than we can bear. Certainly many times we feel we can’t bear the pain, we can’t bear the loss and we can’t go on, but we must by faith accept God’s word. “And I would encourage you by faith that we continue on searching for Kelly and continue praying and place her in God’s hands to bring her home to us, that we indeed as friends and as a family may have closure.”

PAGO PAGO, American Samoa (AP) — U.S. Mint Deputy Director Andy Brunhart was in Pago Pago for the launch of the American Samoa quarter. The coin is part of a program authorized by Congress after the 50-state quarter program proved to be so popular and profitable. Brunhart said Thursday that the coin honoring American Samoa’s “vibrant traditional culture and rugged beauty is a welcome addition to American coinage.” One side of the coin depicts an ava bowl, which is used in a ceremony to welcome guests and visitors. The other side bears the inscription “Samoa Muamua Le Atua,” which in Samoan means, “Samoa, God is First.” Youngsters under 17 who attended the launching were given free quarters. American Samoa is a U.S. territory located in the South Pacific, about 2,300 miles south of Hawaii.

It’s linked to a GPS device that updates the group’s location every 10 minutes. The caravan includes two large support trucks and two trailers decorated with graphics related to 9/11. Louis Nacke, who was 42 when he died, had a catch phrase “if it’s free, it’s for me,” and friends and relatives think of him whenever they hear a free offer, Nacke said. “It was a year I try to forget, but you can’t,” Nacke said. “I believe that even although our loved ones have left us they continue to live on as long as we talk about them.

money for the Flight 93 National Memorial near Shanksville, Pa., where the plane crashed. The 2,200-acre memorial, which is expected to cost $58 million, is scheduled to open on the 10th anniversary of the attacks. Eight motorcycles and nine passengers rolled out of Newark on the first leg of the cross-country journey Thursday. The first stop is Shanksville. Nacke organized the ride and said anyone who cares about Flight 93 and Sept. 11 and what they represent is welcome to join in all or part of the nine-day journey. At least 20 relatives and friends of the passengers and crew already are expected to participate, he said. Sarah Wainio, 22, of Catonsville, Md., was the youngest participant Thursday. She was 14 when her 27-year-old sister, Honor Elizabeth Wainio, died aboard Flight 93. Wainio said she still thinks about her big sister whenever she visits their favorite diner or hears her favorite music. “It might be easier to forget it happened, but we can’t do that, it would be a disservice to them,” Wainio said, propping a pair of sunglasses on her

Aunt: Niece missing 18 years, family reconnect bright and educated, even though they did not attend school. “Jaycee did a truly amazing job with the limited resources and education that she herself had, and we are so proud of her,” Dugard said. The family’s location has been a closely guarded secret since the 29-year-old woman reappeared last week. She was 11 when she was kidnapped. Tina Dugard said the family has been spending time “in a secluded place,” reconnecting and getting to know each other again. “Not only have we laughed and cried together, but we’ve spent time sitting quietly, taking pleasure in each other’s company,” Dugard said. Tina Dugard took no questions from reporters and did not comment on the investigation into her niece’s abduction. A spokeswoman for the Dugard family, Erika Price Schulte, said they would have no further public comment for now.

LOS ANGELES — Jaycee Dugard remembers her family and is enjoying getting to know her younger sister, who was a baby when Dugard was kidnapped 18 years ago, her aunt said Thursday. Tina Dugard spoke to reporters at the FBI’s Los Angeles office, describing her niece’s reunion with her mother and sister. “The smile on my sister’s face was as wide as the sea. Her oldest daughter is finally home,” Tina Dugard said. Phillip and Nancy Garrido have pleaded not guilty to kidnap, rape and imprisonment charges related to Dugard’s 1991 abduction from South Lake Tahoe. Police say Garrido fathered Dugard’s two daughters and lived with them in a backyard encampment of tents and sheds in Antioch. Tina Dugard said her niece’s daughters, ages 11 and 15, appeared to be

Our Opinion
Decriminalize the murder, too? Those activists and politicians who call for an end to the “war on drugs” because it fills our prisons with users more than dealers and still hasn’t done much to reduce addiction have at least one inconvenient point against their argument. The point of a gun. Mexican druglords are believed responsible for a series of attacks on rehabilitation centers in Ciudad Juarez. The latest catastrophe left 18 people dead — people who had fallen victim to the filthy goods the drug cartels peddle and had decided to get themselves clean. A troubling thread runs through the recent attacks and killings. It is suggested that the La Familia drug cartel actually oversees some of the clinics in Mexico’s Michoacan state, using them as recruiting and training centers. Get an addict clean, so the theory goes, and he’s less likely to touch the stash while he’s shipping or guarding it. And the addicts who don’t want to be part of the crime family? Those, you shoot. Authorities are trying to determine if that’s also the method behind the madness in Juarez, where this week’s attack saw patients lined up against a wall and riddled with bullets. Decriminalize drugs, advocates for legalization say, and the violence goes away. But does it? After all, with a new storefront and a few suits and ties the Mexican cartels and U.S. gangs and mobs that now run drugs are the most likely organizations to step up and become the “legal” distributors of narcotics after decriminalization, aren’t they? They own the fields for growing, the facilities for refining, the network for distributing and the “management team” to run the entire operation. And we’ve seen how they do business. Decriminalizing drugs doesn’t, or shouldn’t, absolve the cartel leaders and their foot soldiers from their violent crimes. So there still will — or should be — a war to fight in bringing these murderous animals to justice. Advocates of legalizing some or even many narcotics have a few compelling arguments they can make. Giving in to the criminals who would bully us into acquiescence — even to the point of slaughtering those who try to kick the nasty habits from which the cartels profit — just to stop the violence, is the worst reason of all.
Quotable “One of the criticisms of the recovery act is that it is simply a grab bag of different programs. But the fact that the recovery act is multifaceted doesn’t reflect a lack of design. It is the design. Our economy is so complex and so wounded that reinvigorating one segment alone — or using one tool alone — would never do all that needs to be done.” — Vice President Joe Biden, claiming that the Obama administration’s $787 billion stimulus package has reshaped the economy by reaching and exceeding goals. “It’s like, ‘Is this really our house? Is it really still here?’ Because we had made peace with the fact that we’d never see our stuff again.” — T.J. Lynch, about returning to his home in the Tujunga neighborhood north of Los Angeles as residents were allowed to survey the damage from wildfires.
Summer is coming to an end as is evidenced by the return of children to school, the start of football season and the breezy hint of cooler temperatures to come. Looking at the political calendar, we are nearing the eight-month mark of the Obama administration and their allied, Democratically-led Congress. So, as Congress sits in recess and the nation braces for the upcoming national health care fight, I thought it an appropriate moment to talk about the future of Republican politics. Not just how we can defeat health care or win more congressional seats in 2010 -- but how we develop the coalitions necessary to ensure we are a party capable of standing strongly 10, 20, 50 years into the future. In essence, we must ensure we are a lasting party equipped to defend the principles of limited government, lower taxes, free markets, a strong national defense, and individual rights and responsibilities. Today, with government spending increasing astronomically, with the prospect of one-fifth of our economy -- in the form of the health care
system -- being turned over to government controls, these guidelines are all the more important. Thirty years ago, my father understood this, and that legacy has passed down to us. Even as conservatives, we will not always agree, but if we respect those with Michael dissenting Reagan opinions, Distributed by we can Cagle Cartoons grow even stronger in our determination to follow our shared values. Americans are increasingly, and rightfully, growing skeptical of policies that emphasize budget-busting government solutions, as opposed to empowering individuals, families and small businesses. Conservatives have a great opportunity and platform to move beyond the media stereotypes of Republicans as demoralized and dysfunctional and come together to reassert our strength and fight for our free-
doms. Liberal, conservative or independent, there is much that unites us. My father understood that good governance required strong coalitions. In order to move forward, this is something the Republican Party will need to understand as well. Today, as political maps show the Northeast and the Southeast entrenching further along party lines, the coalitions and partnerships which will shape our future are increasingly found in the West. We have a new proving ground in the independentminded West, with states like New Mexico, where the presidential election was decided by less than 6,000 votes in 2004 and by a mere 366 votes in 2000, and Colorado, a state so intensely contested between President Obama and Senator McCain in 2008. The West has always been a region of fierce independence and a willingness to buck traditions. The challenges we face today require that spirit and creativity. Any new winning coalition must include America’s growing Hispanic population, which makes up over 20 percent of the
population in six states from this Western bloc, as well as Florida. The Hispanic community has much in common with what I call conservative values, from an emphasis on family values to issues of law enforcement and education. I have seen this in my own home state of California. Now is the time to win back the hearts and minds of all Americans and embrace the founding principles of this great nation. With so much at stake, this is an endeavor that will require all of our participation; no one group can do it alone. This undertaking will also require practical solutions and the leadership of young Americans, whose future is ever more on the line. We must build coalitions that honor our shared traditions and principles, or we will jeopardize our future. It’s time to come together.

Letters to the Editor Seniors to politicians in Washington: ‘Can you hear us now?’ To the editor: We are the disgusted and angry generation. I can say “we” because I watch the news coverage of the town hall meetings and I see a lot of gray hair. We are “war babies,” born while our fathers fought in WWII and our mothers worked in the factories, on farms and business in order to keep the nation running. We are the generation Washington wants to keep quiet. Born in the 1930s and 1940s, we watched as our nation emerged from a devastating war to stand victorious, ready to rebuild Now, more than a month and restore what was later, things look even worse. damaged. If we were lucky The obvious solution? Even enough to have our fathers more cowbell. But what is lacking is not return home, we know cowbell, it’s substance the what they would say now: American people can support. “Let’s get to work.” They Obama will reportedly be “more fought for our freedoms specific,” but he won’t commit and many died to secure himself to any particular piece those liberties. of legislation.

In Obama’s presidency, the White fact I hope we will turn up House is turning up the speak- the volume and stay in the ers on the cowbell as loud as fight. Washington, we may they will go. And, heck, if you be the last voice of reason love cowbell, it’s going to be a you will hear, but hear us real treat. But in all the ways that matter, it may just end up you will. Stay tuned, we have more to say. being more noise.
Hey, Barack, more cowbell! ABC News reports that Barack Obama has returned to Washington, only to step off the plane and “into his next domestic crisis.” He “planned to leave the details of health care reform to Congress, but today the White House says he’ll play a much stronger role.” The Associated Press says Obama is “backing away” from his “’it’s-all-on-the-table’ approach” and is “prepared to get louder and more involved in the details of a health care overhaul.” “This weekend,” NBC Nightly News explained in its lead story, “the president signaled an aggressive stance to put his personal stamp on the sweeping legislation.” There’s only one problem. These stories were all reported nearly three months ago upon Obama’s return from his largely failed European mission. And yet, the Wall Street Journal reported Thursday that Obama’s planned address to a joint session of Congress next week “will insert the president into the heated debate in a way he has avoided all summer.” The Washington Post informed readers that the “White House is scrambling to take control of the health-care debate after watching from the sidelines.” A “senior aide” to Obama says the president will be “much more prescriptive.” Why the White House press corps didn’t just change the date on their old copy and run it again is beyond me. And I’ll leave it to others to ponder the media’s seemingly infinite capacity to give Obama as many do-overs as he might need. Why the Obama administration is determined to do the time warp again is easier to decipher. Obama’s advisors think the answer to every problem is more cowbell, if by “cowbell” you mean “Obama.” It’s like
Obama guru David Axelrod is the Christopher Walken character from the “Saturday Night Live” skit about Blue Oyster Cult (if you don’t know the reference, Google “cowbell”). Every time someone comes up with an alternative to throwing Obama on TV, Axelrod says, “No, no, no. Guess what? I got a fever, and the only prescription ... is more Obama!” But is that really what the doctor ordered? Obama’s Jonah address next Goldberg week will Tribune Media be his third Services prime-time appeal in three months and the fifth in his 7-month-old presidency. The networks are chagrined about this, not least because the ratings half-life of these events is severe. (Fox’s broadcast network beat out the other networks by running “So You Think You Can Dance” instead of his last prime-time press conference.) More relevant, they haven’t done Obama much good. His July 22 press conference was billed as perhaps Obama’s last chance to save health care reform. It tanked (partly because Obama’s attack on the Cambridge police dominated the press). Afterward, public support for ObamaCare dropped significantly. A Pew poll taken that week found that more people opposed the proposals being considered by Congress than supported them, and that Obama’s overall approval had dropped 7 points from the previous month. Other polls showed similar declines.

KVA’s George Hoyle gets knocked off the ball during the first half of the Spartans’ 1-0 loss to North Raleigh Christian Thursday night. To view or purchase photos, visit us on the Web at www.hendersondispatch.com.
Kerr-Vance coach Rick Frampton said Thursday’s 1-0 loss “felt like a victory.” North Raleigh Christian, a 3A school, came to Henderson ranked No. 6 in the state among private schools. Despite controlling possession for most of the game, they scored only once, with 2:30 to go in the first half. Frampton said he was impressed with the way his defense played. “Unfortunately, offensively, we didn’t put it together,” he said. “But
our overall play — compared to what we did last weekend — this week has been a really good week.” Goalkeeper Rick Davis was kept busy, and made some impressive saves. “He played out of his mind today, and that helped us a lot,” Frampton said. Davis stopped a shot 1:30 into the game. North Raleigh’s Conor Regan nearly put the Knights on the board at minute two. His kick banked off the right upright and away from the goal. It was cleared by Colton Tabbert before the Knights could get a rebound.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — The Tampa Bay Buccaneers fired offensive coordinator Jeff Jagodzinski on Thursday, saying they weren’t getting the “direction” needed from him 10 days before the regular season opener. First-year coach Raheem Morris offered a vague explanation for the move on the eve of the team’s preseason finale against the Houston Jagodzinski Texans. Quarterbacks coach Greg Olson was promoted to Jagodzinski’s role and will take over playcalling. “I have a lot of respect for coach Jags, and what he did, and the effort he put into his work, but we’re at the point now where we need to be more precise, we need to be more detailed and we need to have more direction on where we’re going to go,” Morris said. Jagodzinski was hired in January, three weeks after being dismissed by Boston College for pursuing an NFL head coaching job. He led Boston College to the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game in each of his two seasons there, but was fired after being told he would be let go if he interviewed for the New York Jets’ coaching vacancy. He interviewed despite the ultimatum and was fired the next day. The Jets job eventually went to Rex Ryan. “I’m not here to bash Jeff Jagodzinski.

Goodell: Pack loses season opener in defensive struggle Vick eligible by third game By AARON BEARD AP Sports Writer
By BARRY WILNER AP Football Writer
NEW YORK — Michael Vick got the green light for full reinstatement in the NFL on Thursday when commissioner Roger Goodell said the disgraced quarterback could play later this month instead of waiting until October. Vick, recently signed by the Philadelphia Eagles, will now be able to play in the Sept. 27 game at home against the Kansas City Chiefs. It would be his first regular-season game since he Goodell was sent to prison for his role in operating a dogfighting ring. The former Atlanta Falcons star was released from federal custody July 20 after serving 18 months of a 23-month sentence. Originally, Goodell said he would consider Vick for reinstatement no later than the sixth week of the season — Oct. 18. “I think he’s making real progress,” Goodell said at a news conference. “I think he has a better feel for the challenges ahead of him. “He understands he has very Please see VICK, page 3B
RALEIGH — Brian Maddox had a short touchdown run while Stephen Garcia completed a key third-down pass in the final minutes to help South Carolina beat North Carolina State 7-3 on Thursday night. Garcia threw for just 148 yards on a frustrating night for both offenses, but the sophomore came through with a 33-yard completion to Moe Brown that allowed the Gamecocks to run out the final 2 1/2 minutes of the game. It gave South Carolina a second straight season-opening victory against the Wolfpack, who were shutout 34-0 in last year’s meeting and failed to reach the end zone in the rematch. Maddox scored from a yard out in the first quarter and finished with 66 yards rushing,
which ended up being about the most reliable form of offense for typically pass-happy coach Steve Spurrier. Garcia completed 13 of 22 passes with an interception that gave the Wolfpack a needed burst of momentum and led to N.C. State’s only scoring drive. It was just one of numerous mistakes for the Gamecocks, the most costly being an offensive pass interference penalty on Tori Gurley that negated his 38-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter. There was also a low snap that killed a secondquarter field-goal attempt and a missed 27-yard kick from Spencer Lanning in the third. Then again, the Gamecocks had plenty of wiggle room considering the how defense bottled up Russell Wilson and the Wolfpack’s offense all night. N.C. State managed just 133 yards, with Wilson — who last year became the first freshman

Oudin stuns fourth seed Dementieva By HOWARD FENDRICH AP Tennis Writer
NEW YORK — It’s not quite the case that 17-year-old Melanie Oudin and her family knew for sure she would get this far, this fast. Not when Melanie was 7, hitting buckets of tennis balls with Grandma Mimi back home in Marietta, Ga. Not a couple of years later, when Melanie and her twin sister began taking lessons together. And certainly not when Melanie lost her first two Grand Slam matches. Still, there was Oudin at the U.S. Open on Thursday, ranked all of 70th, dealing with a painful leg and an overwhelming occasion on
a supersized stage — and stunning No. 4-seeded Elena Dementieva 5-7, 6-4, 6-3 to set up a third-round match against 2006 champion Maria Sharapova. All the while, Oudin sported this word stamped near the heel of her pink-and-yellow sneakers: “BELIEVE.” The idea for that bit of inspiration came from her boyfriend, Austin Smith, a 15-year-old who helped Melanie prepare for her Arthur Ashe Stadium debut by practicing together in the 23,763-seat arena at 9:30 a.m. Thursday.

College Football UNC’s Jones out against The Citadel CHAPEL HILL (AP) — North Carolina’s unproven group of wide receivers just got a little thinner. The school says that receiver Dwight Jones will have arthroscopic surgery on his right knee Friday, which will keep him out of Saturday’s opener against The Citadel. The sophomore began experiencing pain earlier in the week and missed practice Wednesday. It’s unclear how long Jones will be out. He was expected to start opposite Greg Little for the No. 21 Tar Heels, who are trying to replace three receivers who went on to become NFL draft picks. The school also announced Thursday that it has agreed to play Minnesota in a home-and-home series in 2013 and 2014. The programs have never met in football.
UCLA will play at Rose Bowl despite fire LOS ANGELES (AP) — UCLA plans to play its scheduled game against San Diego State at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena on Saturday despite the giant wildfire burning to the north in the Angeles National Forest. Athletic director Dan Guerrero said in a statement Thursday that the decision was made based upon information from local air-quality officials and Pasadena city fire and health authorities. Guerrero says there were also consultations with the university’s own medical staff. A university statement also quotes an air pollution official as saying that weather conditions are expected to improve on Saturday. The school said all firefighters and their immediate families are being offered free tickets to either Saturday’s game or the Sept. 19 game against Kansas State at the Rose Bowl. Firefighters may show their ID at either the stadium ticket office on game day or at the school ticket office in advance.

FORT MILL, S.C. — Desmond Jennings went 7-for-7 as Durham clinched a playoff spot on Thursday with a 14-3 blowout victory over Charlotte. Jennings had six singles before a double in his last at-bat in the ninth inning. He drove in three runs and scored four others. Fernando Perez had six hits July 12th of last year in an
extra-inning game against Rochester, the previous Durham mark in Triple-A. Jennings drove in the tie-breaking run in the sixth inning with a single that was deflected by relief pitcher Sergio Santos for a 4-3 advantage. That was the second of 11 consecutive runs scored by Durham. The Bulls (80-60) collected 17 hits and drew a season-high 12 walks. Rashad Eldridge, who just
MIAMI — Hanley Ramirez hit a tying, pinchhit single and scored the go-ahead run in his first game since teammate Dan Uggla publicly challenged his effort, lifting the Florida Marlins over the Atlanta Braves 8-3 Thursday night. Hanley’s single in the sixth off Kris Medlen (3-5) made it 3-all. The NL batting leader easily made it to second when right fielder Matt Diaz let the ball skip by him for an error, then scored on Cody Ross’ double to highlight a six-run inning. Ramirez had said a day earlier that he “got some people upset” for leaving Tuesday’s game with a tight left hamstring. Uggla overheard him and openly argued with the All-Star shortstop in the clubhouse. Uggla accused him of a lack of desire and effort to win and went as far as saying Ramirez didn’t care because he’s already secured a $70 million, six-

Just in my head.” No seeded men lost in early action Thursday, when the winners included 2007 runner-up Novak Djokovic, and four Americans: 276th-ranked Jesse Witten, 55th-ranked John Isner, No. 21 James Blake and No. 22 Sam Querrey. French Open runner-up Robin Soderling advanced when his opponent, Marcel Granollers, quit during the third game with a back injury. Oudin twice received treatment from a trainer for her lingering left leg injury. Late in the match, Oudin was blinking away tears, trying to push aside
the injury — and trying to finish off Dementieva. That injury, de Villiers said, forced Oudin to pull out of two hard-court tuneup events. “But this is the U.S. Open,” he said. “She ain’t going to give up anything. She’s going to play on one leg if she has to.” No matter what sort of message might have adorned Oudin’s shoes on this day, even her biggest fans did not think this level of success would arrive at this age. “This is what she loves. She just loves it. She loves the game. She loves the atmosphere,” Oudin’s mother, Leslie, said after giving her daughter a hug and a kiss outside the locker room. “I knew she’d always make the top 10 or 20. I did know that. But not now. Maybe when she hit 21 or something.”

She wasn’t hitting winners left and right on me.” Don’t, though, get the mistaken idea that Dementieva played poorly or showed the sort of nerves she has in the past. Dementieva played rather well — displaying the stinging groundstrokes that carried her to two Grand Slam finals and an Olympic gold medal — and graciously gave credit to Oudin, who now will face the scrutiny that comes with being the “Next Great American Hope.” After the Williams sisters at No. 2 and 3, you have to scan all the way down to Oudin to find the next U.S. woman in the WTA rankings. “It’s just the beginning,” Dementieva cautioned, “but it looks like she has a good future.” Truth is, Oudin — pronounced “oo-DAN,” owing to her father’s French ancestry — has a pretty good present, too. This was not, after all, her first such upset at a major tournament: Oudin reached the fourth round at Wimbledon by beating former No. 1 Jelena Jankovic. “She knows,” said Brian de Villiers, Oudin’s coach, “that she can play with these girls now.”

all followed with RBI singles in the inning. Only two runs were earned in the sixth, with Braves third baseman Chipper Jones dropping a foul ball earlier in Coghlan’s at-bat to go along with Diaz’s misplay. Ricky Nolasco (10-8) gave up three runs in six innings. The Braves tried to show a little fight themselves. Atlanta manager Bobby Cox was ejected for the sixth time this season to extend his major league record to 149. This one occurred in the eighth for what appeared to be arguing balls and strikes with Atlanta’s Garret Anderson at the plate. The rest of his team just didn’t do much. Brian McCann hit his 18th home run of the season in the second to put Atlanta ahead 1-0. Florida tied it on a double by Cameron Maybin in the third, then Martin Prado and Jones each had RBI singles in the fifth to give the Braves a 3-1 lead.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Rangers slugger Josh Hamilton has a pinched nerve in his back. Hamilton saw a doctor Thursday, a day after pulling himself out of Texas’ 6-4 victory over Toronto after four innings. Hamilton said he had been experiencing lower back pain since playing on the turf in Minnesota last weekend. Assistant general manager Thad Levine says Hamilton was given a “root nerve injection” to reduce inflammation. Hamilton is scheduled to fly to Baltimore on Friday for the Rangers’ weekend series against the Orioles. Trainer Jaime Reed then will examine Hamilton and determine if he can play.

Next comes what figures to be a stern test against three-time major champion Sharapova, who eliminated another 17-year-old American, Christina McHale of Englewood Cliffs, N.J., 6-2, 6-1 at night. The 381stranked McHale was a wildcard entry who didn’t really challenge Sharapova. Looking ahead to facing Oudin, Sharapova said: “I definitely have to go out there and expect her to play some of her best tennis.” Jankovic made another early departure from a Grand Slam event, losing to 55th-ranked Yaroslava Shvedova of Kazakhstan 6-3, 6-7 (4), 7-6 (6).

Steelers beat Panthers; Vick scores TD, but struggles Steelers 21, Panthers 10 CHARLOTTE (AP) — Pittsburgh’s first team defense forced a three-andout, Stefan Logan returned a punt for a touchdown, and the Steelers’ second unit made Carolina punt before Ben Roethlisberger hit the field. He threw one swing pass for seven yards on thirdand-9 and called it a night. With the Super Bowl champions opening the real season in a week, coach Mike Tomlin took few chances in the final exhibition Thursday, a 21-10 victory over the Panthers. The first-team offense and defense took three snaps apiece, with the defense finishing the preseason without allowing a touchdown despite NFL defensive player of the year James Harrison not even suiting up. Carolina, meanwhile, did little to ease concerns in what was a shaky, injury-plagued and winless preseason. Jets 38, Eagles 27 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Michael Vick was hardly dynamic in his first significant action in three years, just hours after the Philadelphia quarterback found out he’ll be fully reinstated in Week 3. Vick scored on a 2-yard run, but was sacked four times, lost a fumble and threw an interception in the New York Jets’ 38-27 victory Thursday night. He finished 7 for 11 for 26 yards, and ran for 35 yards on seven carries. Vick, released from federal custody July 20 after serving 18 months of a 23-month sentence for his role in operating a dogfighting ring, will be eligible to play Sept. 27 against Kansas City, commissioner Roger Goodell said. Patriots 38, Giants 27 FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Patriots rookie Brian Hoyer helped his chances to become Tom
Brady’s primary backup, throwing a scoring pass and leading three drives that BenJarvus GreenEllis finished with rushing touchdowns. Brady and nearly all of the usual starters sat out the exhibition finale for New England (3-1). Eli Manning played just one series for New York, and David and Carr handled the next three for the Giants (1-3).
Bengals 38, Colts 7 CINCINNATI (AP) — Bengals backup quarterback J.T. O’Sullivan capped his only series with a 14-yard touchdown pass to Andre Caldwell. Colts starter Payton Manning and Cincinnati’s Carson Palmer, recovering from a sprained left ankle, didn’t play. Indianapolis backup Jim Sorgi was 11 of 19 for 119 yards and a touchdown, a 22-yarder to Taj Smith. Sorgi missed most of camp because of a pulled right hamstring. Cincinnati finished the preseason 2-2, and Indianapolis was 1-3. Jaguars 24, Redskins 17 JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — David Garrard led the Jaguars to a touchdown and two field goals in four possessions, and receiver Mike Sims-Walker looked sharp in his first action in nearly a month, catching four passes for 64 yards and a TD. Garrard completed 10 of 13 passes for 95 yards, teaming with Sims-Walker for a 10-yard scoring play late in the second quarter. Josh Scobee kicked three field goals, including a 52-yarder, and finished 10 for 10 in the preseason. Ravens 20, Falcons 3 ATLANTA (AP) — John Beck was 16 of 28 for 232 yards and two touchdowns to help Baltimore finish the preseason 4-0. Demetrius Williams caught five passes for 77 yards, and Eron Riley had five receptions for 62 yards and a touchdown.
Atlanta (2-2) used its offensive starters for the opening drive. Matt Ryan completed his first two passes before a sack forced a punt. John Parker Wilson and D.J. Shockley, battling for the third quarterback spot, went the rest of the way.
Lions 17, Bills 6 ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Tristan Davis scored on a 79-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter for Detroit (3-1). Detroit rookie quarterback Matthew Stafford, the No. 1 draft pick out of Georgia, made his second start and finished 5 of 9 for 81 yards with two drive-killing turnovers — a fumble and interception. Lions cornerback Chris Roberson made a case to make the team with an interception and a fumble recovery. Titans 27, Packers 13 NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Vince Young ran for a touchdown and threw for another in his strongest performance this preseason, and the Tennessee Titans beat the Green Bay Packers 27-13 on Thursday night. On a night where not getting hurt was the top goal, Green Bay had a handful of players injured with the most worrisome rookie defensive tackle B.J. Raji — the No. 9 draft pick overall. Raji hurt his ankle after having three tackles and a sack. Aaron Rodgers lasted one series for the Packers and went three-and-out. Kerry Collins also played only one series and just missed a touchdown pass with a throw that was a little high to Justin Gage.
Chad Pennington completed eight of 11 passes for 57 yards and led the first scoring drive for Miami (40), which took a 3-0 lead on Dan Carpenter’s 41-yard field goal. New Orleans (3-1) held out numerous starters on offense, including quarterback Drew Brees, running backs Reggie Bush and Pierre Thomas, receiver Marques Colston and tight end Jeremy Shockey.

All of us at Boston College wish Jags and his family the very best.�
Bears 26, Browns 23 CHICAGO (AP) — Eric Mangini apparently didn’t need another look at Brady Quinn or Derek Anderson. Cleveland’s coach gave his quarterbacks a night off rather than one more audition. Brett Ratliff started for the Browns and led a touchdown drive after a rough start against Chicago. Robbie Gould kicked two of his four field goals in the fourth quarter, though, leading the Bears past Cleveland 26-23 Thursday in the preseason-finale. When Mangini said he wasn’t sure who would start, many assumed it would be Quinn or Anderson. Well, not quite.
Dolphins 10, Saints 7 NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Patrick Cobbs rush for 54 yards, including a 6-yard touchdown run, and the Miami Dolphins closed out a perfect preseason with a 10-7 victory over the New Orleans Saints on Thursday night.
Rams 17, Chiefs 9 ST. LOUIS (AP) — In his first preseason game calling the plays, Kansas City Chiefs coach Todd Haley had just as much trouble finishing off drives as the man he replaced. The Chiefs had four gains of 40 yards or more and totaled 406 yards, yet still lost 17-9 to the St. Louis Rams on Thursday night to finish their fourth winless preseason this decade. Quincy Butler’s 28-yard interception return off Tyler Thigpen was the go-ahead score late in the third quarter for the Rams (3-1), who produced three turnovers and won the annual Governor’s Cup. St. Louis had 12 takeaways in the preseason under new coach Steve Spagnuolo after totaling one takeaway in the 2008 preseason.
defenders and bounced off Smith’s hands near the back of the end zone. That drive ended with Wilson’s fourth-down incompletion, and Garcia soon found Brown behind two Wolfpack defenders to
seal the win. Wilson set an ACC record with 272 consecutive passes without an interception. Florida State’s Drew Weatherford held the record with 270 set in 2007.
“He definitely provided me with useful feedback,� Goodell said. “He’s very open about the challenges, you know, from his own personal experiences.� Reid’s two sons have been jailed on drug charges. “He told me how Michael’s doing and how he’s incorporating into the team and the judgments he’s making,� Goodell said. Former Indianapolis Colts coach Tony Dungy, who has served as a mentor to Vick at Goodell’s behest, also helped the commissioner with his decision. The Eagles plan to use Vick in their version of the wildcat offense, and Reid has stated that Kevin Kolb remains the backup to Donovan McNabb. Vick’s familiarity with the West Coast offense has expedited his learning process with Philadelphia. He’s said he’s content doing whatever he can to help the team win and wants to learn from McNabb how to become a better quarterback. While McNabb is an excellent scrambler, he prefers being a pocket passer. Vick always has been far more inclined to
take off and run than stay in the pocket and find an open receiver. His career completion percentage is only 53.8 percent, and he has more career 100-yard rushing games (8) than 250-yard passing games. Vick has 71 career touchdown passes, but 52

SPARTANS, from page 1B and didn’t have a shot in the second half. “I thought we had about three chances that were good opportunities and I thought (they) scared them. Unfortunately we didn’t utilize Rick’s big punt by getting our midfield up to challenge,� said Frampton. “We showed hints of what we could do offensively at times, we possessed it, we knocked it around. We had a couple of good ideas that didn’t lead to opportunities.� The Knights didn’t let up in the second half, and Davis had to save a shot a little more than four minutes in. Davis came up with a big save at minute 53. The Knight attacker feigned a shot, forcing Davis to dive. The shot deflected off of Davis’ foot while he was still on the ground.
He saved another two minutes later, leaping to knock a kick over the top crossbar. The Knights had a few more looks, but were unable to punch it in. The loss puts the Spartans at 3-4-2 on the season. “We’ve only lost to ranked opponents,� said Frampton. “That being said, there’s been some frustration in the beginning of the season, but I think that’s gone away and we’re starting to gel and we starting to bring it together.� “One thing I was really happy with was that we did not get out-worked tonight. We worked our butts off — every position — the whole time.� KVA plays at O’Neal in Southern Pines Tuesday. Contact the writer at erobinson@hendersondispatch.com.
VICK, from page 1B little margin for error, that people are watching him.� Goodell met with Vick earlier Thursday at the Eagles’ hotel near Newark International Airport. Philadelphia played the Jets in an exhibition game at the Meadowlands at night, in which Vick was in and out of the lineup in the opening half, and was booed each time he ran onto the field. He lined up at quarterback and wide receiver at times, and scored his first NFL touchdown since 2006 to give the Eagles a 14-7 lead early in the second quarter. Vick lined up at quarterback, faked a handoff and ran up the middle from 2 yards 25 seconds into the quarter. He also was intercepted in the first half, then opened the second half at quarterback for Philadelphia. “He met with Michael this morning and I think he came out of it feeling very confident that Michael’s doing the right things and is on the right track,� Eagles president Joe Banner said before the game. “I think Michael wants to play as soon as he can. On the other hand, I think
he thinks this was fair.� A three-time Pro Bowl pick during six seasons with the Falcons, Vick was a surprise signing by the Eagles on Aug. 13. He received a one-year deal for $1.6 million with a team option for a second year at $5.2 million. Vick started practicing with the Eagles on Aug. 15, but did not travel with the team to its second preseason game a week later in Indianapolis because he could not play. He played six snaps in Philadelphia’s home game against Jacksonville last week, lining up at quarterback and receiver. He completed all four of his pass attempts, but the Eagles’ offense scored just three points in the possessions he played. “We thought that if Michael did the right things, somewhere — probably one to three weeks — would be the likely outcome. So this is certainly in the range we expected,� Banner said. “We appreciate the commissioner’s thoughtfulness and I think this is a good outcome and we look forward to having him.� Coach Andy Reid was also present at Goodell’s meeting with Vick.
interceptions. Animal-rights activists in Philadelphia have opted not to protest the player, but to use Vick’s signing to spotlight their work and have asked the Eagles to support them. The team has been receptive, inviting several groups to
a meeting at its practice facility a few days before Vick played to discuss ways to help, including the possibility of financial support. ——— AP Sports Writer Rob Maaddi in Philadelphia contributed to this report.

Ken Griffey open to playing another year By JANIE McCAULEY AP Sports Writer
OAKLAND, Calif. — Ken Griffey Jr. sure seems like someone who wants to stick around the Seattle Mariners for another season. “If it works out for both sides, I’m fine,” Griffey told The Associated Press before the Mariners opened a four-game series against the Oakland Athletics on Thursday night. “We’ll figure it out at the end of the year. We’ve still got 30 days.” Griffey is as happy as
he’s been in years, back where he began his 21year big league career in 1989 and is still beloved despite leaving for nearly nine seasons with the Cincinnati Reds. He believes he can still produce. While Griffey won’t go as far as to say he’s leaning toward playing in 2010, he’d be game for another year in Seattle if the situation was right for both himself and the club. And as long as his body holds up, of course. The 39-year-old Griffey returned to the lineup as the designated hitter bat-
ting in the cleanup spot against Oakland after missing six games with inflammation in his left knee. He entered with a .221 batting average, 14 homers and 43 RBIs. Griffey said he has always waited until the end of a season to evaluate things and make decisions, discussing the future with his wife and kids, too. And this year won’t be any different, even when he faces constant questions about whether this year might be the last in his decorated career.
Griffey is amused by the constant speculation of will he or won’t he? That’s just what happens when you spent 11 seasons as the face of a franchise then came back for another go. He has brought a spirit and energy back to Safeco Field this season. “They all want to know,” Griffey said with a smile. The slugger said his representatives have had preliminary talks with the Mariners and another meeting would take place soon after the season ends.

Ramirez out-duels Lincecum in Phillies’ win Phillies 2, Giants 1 PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Pedro Martinez tossed seven impressive innings to outpitch Tim Lincecum, Ryan Howard doubled in the tiebreaking run and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the San Francisco Giants 2-1 on Thursday night. Martinez (3-0) struck out a season-high nine in his fifth start since signing with the Phillies during the All-Star break, allowing one run and five hits. He didn’t walk a batter and threw just 87 pitches in his longest outing since last Aug. 21 with the New York Mets. Jayson Werth homered for the NL East-leading Phillies, who are 16-6 since getting swept by Florida at home last month. Ryan Madson pitched a perfect eighth and Brad Lidge finished for his 28th save in 37 chances. Eugenio Velez hit a leadoff homer for the Giants, who remained one game behind Colorado in the NL wild-card race. Lincecum (13-5) struck out 11 in seven innings, allowing two runs and four hits.

Philadelphia’s Pedro Martinez pitches in the seventh inning of Thursday’s game against San Francisco. and Pat Misch pitched seven solid innings to earn his first major league win, leading New York to the victory. Wright went 3 for 4 in his second start since coming off the 15-day disabled list after being sidelined with a concussion courtesy of a Matt Cain fastball on Aug. 15. He went back to his old batting helmet, too, ditching Rawlings’ bulky, new S100 batting helmet that made him look like a bobblehead running the bases earlier in the series. Wright’s two-run double highlighted a four-run fifth inning off Jason Marquis (14-10).
Misch (1-1) had his second straight strong start for the Mets. He was working on a shutout before Chris Iannetta and Ian Stewart hit consecutive homers in the seventh.
Brewers 4, Cardinals 3 ST. LOUIS (AP) — Rookie Casey McGehee hit a two-run homer off John Smoltz after St. Louis failed to turn a double play, and the Brewers avoided a three-game sweep. Manny Parra (10-10) allowed two runs and five hits in 6 1-3 innings for Milwaukee, which has won four of six.
White Sox 5, Cubs 0 CHICAGO (AP) — Rookie Carlos Torres threw seven crisp innings, Dewayne Wise made a great throw to cut down a runner at the plate and the White Sox won a makeup game between two city rivals whose seasons have gone awry. Torres (1-0) earned his first major league win in his third career start. He allowed five hits, walked none and struck out six. Wise, whose highlightreel catch preserved Mark Buehrle’s perfect game back in July, made a strong throw from right field to nail Jake Fox at the plate and preserve a 1-0 White Sox lead in the seventh. Fox was trying to score from second on Jeff Baker’s single. Ryan Dempster (8-8) gave up three unearned runs and nine hits in seven-plus innings for the Cubs.

Yanks win seventh straight Yankees 10, Blue Jays 5 TORONTO (AP) — Jorge Posada homered and drove in four runs, Alex Rodriguez also homered and the New York Yankees beat the Toronto Blue Jays 10-5 Thursday night for their seventh straight victory. The AL East leaders won for the 14th time in 17 road games. Toronto lost its fourth in a row. Posada’s homer was his 20th, giving New York a major league-leading seven players with at least that many — it’s the first time the Yankees have done that in team history. Posada went 4 for 5 and hit his 340th career double, moving past Bob Meusel into ninth place on the team’s all-time list. Rodriguez’s homer, a solo shot in the ninth, was his 24th this season and 50th overall against Toronto. He has 577 lifetime. Red Sox 6, Rays 3 ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Clay Buchholz pitched six effective innings, Jason Bay drove in two runs and the Boston Red Sox hurt Tampa Bay’s playoff hopes with a 6-3 win over the Rays on Thursday night. The Red Sox took 2 of 3 from the Rays — Boston’s first series win at Tropicana Field since Sept. 21-23, 2007 — to extend
their AL wild-card advantage over Tampa Bay to six games. Texas trails Boston by three games. Buchholz (4-3) allowed three runs and six hits. Bay, with 21 RBIs in his last 22 games, hit a tworun double that put the Red Sox ahead 2-0 in the first. Evan Lorgoria had a run-scoring double for the Rays.
Tigers 4, Indians 3 DETROIT (AP) — Placido Polanco hit a sacrifice fly in the 10th inning to give the Detroit Tigers a 4-3 victory over the Cleveland Indians on Thursday. The Tigers completed a three-game sweep and increased their lead in the AL Central to five games over the idle Twins. Ryan Raburn led off the Detroit 10th with a double. Rafael Perez (4-3) then intentionally walked Miguel Cabrera and issued an unintentional free pass to Magglio Ordonez. Polanco followed with a fly ball to center and Raburn scored standing up. Zach Miner (6-4) pitched 2 1-3 hitless innings to get the win. Detroit led 3-0 before Cleveland rallied in the eighth. Asdrubal Cabrera had a two-out RBI single off Fu-Te Ni and Shin-Soo Choo followed with a tying two-run double.

ly 1970s, as fabulous, but says the experience was much different by the time his two sons were playing earlier this decade for Duke and Northwestern. “It had become in fact a job,” said Roush, who contends 20-hour limits are flagrantly violated by most major programs. “It was a job they welcomed, participated in willingly and they had a lot of success. But it owned too much of their experience.” NCAA rules limit student-athletes to 20 hours per week of “required” and “supervised” practice and training time during the season, and eight hours per week in the offseason. But those terms have been blurred by novelties like “captain’s practices” where attendance isn’t formally required but absences are noted. Other complications include summer weightroom training: Safety rules may require that conditioning staff be present, but how much can they work with athletes before it counts as training? The Detroit Free Press cited unidentified Michigan players alleging the program regularly exceeded daily and weekly limits. They also alleged qualitycontrol staff watched supposedly voluntary offseason scrimmages that only training staff should have attended. Coach Rich Rodriguez and the university’s compliance director insist the program followed NCAA rules, and even the Wolver-
ines’ archrival, Ohio State, has leapt to their defense. Buckeyes’ captain Kurt Coleman said he guessed Michigan was following the rules, but at any top program players know the 20 hours of formal requirements aren’t nearly enough. “You wake up early in the morning, especially at LSU where we set up all our classes in the morning,” said Kansas City Chiefs defensive end Tyson Jackson, the No. 3 overall pick in this year’s NFL draft, describing a typical college day. “At noon you get yourself some lunch, then one (o’clock) you’re at the football facilities and you’re watching film until about 2-2:30. By 2:30, you’re on the field until about 6.” Jackson insisted LSU was careful to follow guidelines, and credits the university with running an “NFL-style program” where “school was first and football wasn’t that far behind it.” As for extra work: “It was up to each individual. If you saw something you wanted to work, hit some extra bags or run some extra laps, each individual was charged with taking care of that.” Indeed, while the 20hour rule was adopted in the early 1990s to protect student-athletes’ health and well-being, some of its sharpest critics have been student-athletes themselves. They’ve argued they should be free to train harder as long as they meet academic obligations.
“What makes it difficult is how good these kids want to be,” Ohio State head football coach Jim Tressel said this week. “Sometimes you have to chain the doors of the Woody Hayes (football) center, you know, to get them out of there.” That’s fine for professional athletes but not for young adults who are still students, said Nathan Tublitz, a University of Oregon neuroscientist who co-chairs an alliance of faculty senates pushing academic reform. In the NCAA survey, players in the top division reported spending five hours more per week on football than on academics. And 70 percent of respondents in Division I said they considered themselves more an athlete than a student. Why football sticks out isn’t fully known, but some elements are clear: time-consuming strength training, film work and the pressure to win that comes with packed stadiums, big television contracts and enormous school pride. “With the escalation in salaries, the escalation in money involved in these sports, there’s a consequence to that, and that ends up being an escalation in the demands on the athletes,” said Amy Perko, executive director of the Knight Commission, a group pushing college sports reform. University of Hartford President Walter Harrison, who chairs the NCAA’s
committee on academic performance, said in a recent interview that the NCAA survey’s findings had concerned him and prompted a rethinking of how the organization might enforce the 20-hour rule, though no changes have been made yet. NCAA spokesman Erik Christianson, emphasizing he wasn’t addressing specific cases, said the organization is “troubled when student-athletes lose their choice on how to spend their free time,” which is why it adopted the 20-hour rule. He also said recent reforms have improved the balance between athletics and academics, noting programs with poor Academic Progress Rates can lose even more practice time. One of the biggest concerns is out-of-season practices and what used to be summer vacation. In the NCAA survey, 70 percent of major college football players said they spent as much time or more in training or competition when they were out of season. Said Roush, the Centre president: “I bet there’s only a couple, two or three Michigan players, that were even home this summer. That’s ridiculous. It’s a situation out of balance and the NCAA needs to revisit it.” ——— AP Sports Writers John Marshall in Kansas City and Rusty Miller in Columbus, Ohio, contributed to this report.

SUDOKU
Today’s answer
HOROSCOPES ARIES (March 21-April 19). With your typically dynamic and intense personality, you have been accused of many things — being boring is not one of them. You’ll continue the trend of keeping everyone else on their toes. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ve seen a lot of the world, and you’re ready to be surprised. If someone is to hold your attention, you require them to show you a little extra something — perhaps a bit of eccentricity, passion or novelty will do. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll get the perfect opportunity to build on an already solid relationship. Perhaps you’ll sign up for a class together, make a date way into the future or endeavor a large project side by side. CANCER (June 22-July 22). When one person in your inner circle needs help, everyone chips in to assist. You’ll have new social responsibilities because of this, and it will be a pleasure to be of service. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Self-expression is important to you, though you are sometimes surprised at how others receive what you have put out into the world. Do not let this make you self-conscious. Keep creating what feels good to you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your awareness of your surroundings will be tested. If you learn that you were not paying attention, you correct yourself just in time to observe something truly, subtly wondrous.

Unscramble these four Jumbles, one letter to each square, to form four ordinary words.
INDATE
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 2009
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Step up and command respect. You may have to change your clothes to do so, although it’s not really about wearing a suit or not wearing a suit. The attire makes you feel and act differently. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your day is best spent doing what you want to do. This may seem impossible as you look around and see all of the things you “should” be doing. Give yourself permission to ignore the “shoulds” in favor of following your bliss. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). When you don’t have the means to do something on your own, this is a blessing. Band together with others for a common cause. You’ll have to compromise, and that’s where the bonding begins. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Everything is cyclical. You’ll be reminded of this because of the events occurring in the lives of your relatives. There is so much that is positive about your family, and that is where your attention is best invested. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You have a commanding presence, and part of what makes it so is that you do not know it. Your soft words will be heard as though you are speaking through a megaphone. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Think about exotic travel, keeping in mind that any place you’ve never been might fall under that category, distance notwithstanding. Plan the perfect trip out on paper — it could happen.
