SANFORD — If a new survey reveals enough interest, Lee County could be home to a second year-round school in the 2011-2012 school year. At Tuesday’s Board of Education meeting, the board voted on a survey proposed by the Middle School Curriculum and Instruction Committee regarding the possibility of a year-round middle school. The school would follow the county’s INSIDE current yearSee how a round calenyear-round dar, which middle school involves nine-week would be difquarters with ferent from three-week other camintersessions puses in the at the end of county each quarter PAGE 6A rather than a long summer break. Like Tramway Elementary, parents would choose to send their children to the school. But unlike Tramway, it would not have its own standalone facility. The proposed school-withina-school concept would place the year-round program in an existing middle school. Student population and space would be a factor in determining which middle school would house the year-round program. The students might actually attend SanLee Middle, for example, but would follow a different curriculum. The principal of the existing school would also be the principal of the year-round school. “It would run on a different schedule and have a different

Board to settle ethics debate By BILLY BALL bball@sanfordherald.com

SANFORD — Lee County commissioners will meet next week to settle a much-discussed policy outlining how the board vets members accused of ethical lapses. County officials have been prepping the ethics policy for months since state lawmakers called for updated guidelines last year, wading through procedural issues that might arise in the case of a complaint and striking

a clause that some members said unfairly targeted one commissioner. Commissioner Linda Shook, one of a minority of Republicans on the panel and chairman of the county GOP, took issue with a passage that would have banned any member from being in a position of leadership with a local political party. Supporters said that, without the provision, members would be conflicted between serving their political party’s interests and those of the county resi-

dents. Others, however, said it was an effort to stifle Shook, a vocal minority on the board. Commissioners eventually agreed to remove the language after board attorney Ken Hoyle said the clause was “unconstitutional” and would not hold up to a court challenge. Lee County Manager John Crumpton will present a recent draft of the policy to commissioners at a Monday meeting

Monday is the deadline to donate to MLK memorial SANFORD — There’s still time to personalize a brick in the Horner Boulevard memorial for Martin Luther King Jr. City officials said residents have until Monday to contact the city if they want to emblazon a brick in the first shipment for the memorial located at Horner Boulevard and Washington Avenue. Individual brick personalization for the memorial sidewalk costs $50, and will allow locals to leave their name on one piece of the MLK walkway. The city is also accepting $500 donations for the memorial in order to be listed on a walkway brick paver with personalized inscriptions. An online application to donate can be found on the city’s Website, located at www. sanfordnc.net, or contact Sanford Public Works Administrator Laura Spivey at 919-775-8299 for more details. Spivey said there will be time to personalize a brick for another shipment after the first order is completed Monday. — by Billy Ball

East Sanford residents up for grant money

plus the whipped cream,� Olive said. In addition to the $970,000 state grant, which city officials applied for 18 months ago, Sanford leaders are looking to spend another $11,000 of city coffers on the project. City planners said efforts are underway to restore east Sanford neighborhoods and urge public-private partnerships for that cause. “We are identifying houses in the worst condition to come up with a plan to offer some aid financially,� Olive said. “It’s not going to be go in and tear down, but it’s going to be encouragement to upgrade.� Olive and other city leaders have already met with various nonprofits, including Habitat for Humanity and Brick Capital Community Development, to brainstorm improvement methods. “Although we’ve made a great deal of progress over the years, we felt like one large demonstration project in a particularly distressed area would help demonstrate the city’s commitment and encourage others to follow suit,� Bridwell said. “That’s what we hoped this grant would help us do.� Renovation work in the Maple Avenue community is expected to take three years to complete, with start-up beginning in the coming weeks, city planners said. — by Billy Ball

CHATHAM COUNTY

SANFORD — One lowincome east Sanford neighborhood is set to receive nearly $1 million in state grant funding for community revitalization efforts, city officials said. Sanford Mayor Cornelia Olive trumpeted news of the $970,000 Community Development Block Grant from the N.C. Department of Commerce for the Maple Avenue area at a City Council committee meeting Wednesday. City Planning Director Bob Bridwell said the money will be funneled to street, drainage, water and sewer work in the Sanford neighborhood, as well as the clearance and rehabilitation of some deteriorating structures. Olive said the Maple Avenue area near the intersection with Fourth Street has been targeted as one community in need of shoring up. “This is just like the icing on the cake plus the cherry

Carolina Meadows gives $10K for park PITTSBORO (MCT) — Kevin McLeod, president and CEO of Chapel Hill retirement community Carolina Meadows, paid a visit to the Chatham County Board of Commissioners last week to present a check for $10,000, the first of five to be given over five years. In keeping with its mission of being a good citizen of Chatham County, Carolina Meadows has long maintained a soccer field for use by county residents. Because the land will be developed as part of the Master Plan that includes the construction of new villas, Carolina Meadows is donating $50,000 to the county over five years, in $10,000 installments, to support the development of a new county park in the Northeast District of Chatham County. — Durham Herald-Sun

Residents raise sewer plan concerns NEW HILL (MCT) — Chatham County residents packed the Moncure Fire Station Wednesday night to learn more about a sewage pipeline that Cary, Apex, Morrisville and Holly Springs plan to route through the county west of Wake. Chatham citizens voiced concerns about the impact of the pipeline on their land and their livelihood, as staff members of the Western Wake Partners -- representing those four western Wake towns -- outlined the plan for a $327 million sewage plant in New Hill, which would include a 12-mile effluent pipeline to the Cape Fear River. The project, a response to a mandate for the towns to return water to the Cape Fear Basin, would allow for continued growth in western Wake -- assuming Chatham commissioners OK the the pipeline through their county. “There is a sense of urgency to complete this project,� Apex Mayor Keith Weatherly, who is

chairman of the Western Wake Partners policy advisory committee, told a crowd of about 100 people. The pipeline from New Hill would be five feet wide and would travel through Chatham County for more than eight miles. It would require about a 40-foot-wide easement through the southeast corner of the county near New Hill and Merry Oaks, continuing south near Christian Chapel Church Road and Buckhorn Road to the Buckhorn Dam on the Cape Fear River. The pipe would transport up to 38 million gallons of water per day, enough capacity to serve the needs of the growing Wake towns for at least two decades. If Chatham commissioners approve the pipeline, the Western Wake Partners can enact eminent domain to secure land for the easement. More than half of the land the pipeline would cross is owned by Progress Energy. The pipe would also cross Cha-

tham tracts owned by 14 private landowners. One of those landowners, Scott Smith, said the pipeline will steal value from his property. He asked that leaders research a more narrow easement. While Smith said he recognizes the need for the plant, he said the pipeline would restrict what landowners can do with their property longterm. Smith also worried that the recession would lead to a lower-than-fair offer for his land. Other residents said the pipeline comes at a cost to residents -- and with no benefit. Chatham County would receive no wastewater services from the facility. Others worried about potential pipeline breakages. “How would Chatham County citizens benefit from this pipeline?� said Mary Ann Perkins, who lives near the pipeline route. “What is your Plan B should Chatham say ‘No?’ “ Her questions drew applause from the crowd, and agreement from

Chairwoman Sally Kost. “We obviously don’t expect that to happen,� Weatherly said. “We haven’t planned a contingency.� Chatham’s answer now sits in the balance. Commissioners may begin formal discussion of the issue later this month. But Kost doubts a decision will come that soon. “There are still several important questions that we need to answer,� she said. About a dozen Cary employees, with maps of the proposed pipeline route, met with citizens in smaller groups before and after the meeting to address specific questions. Steve Brown, the Town of Cary’s public works and utilities director, highlighted the wastewater project’s final environmental approval, awarded at the end of July by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The approval paves the way for construction of the plant and pipeline in the next several months. — The Cary News

JOHNSTON County

United Way kicks off fundraising campaign SMITHFIELD (MCT) — Johnston-Lee-Harnett Community Action gets a lot of government funding for its wide range of programs, but it’s money from the United Way that allows the organization to help clients in the mostdire circumstances. Community Action director Marie Watson estimates her agency has helped about 3,000 clients in the past year who were in a crisis — they had immediate medical expenses they couldn’t afford, or they had no money to pay the rent, or they were a step away from becoming homeless. State and federal funds help the agency provide its chief services, including the Head Start

preschool program and home weatherization, but those dollars don’t cover clients’ emergencies. “We really don’t get much for crisis,� Watson said. The United Way of the Greater Triangle funds the bulk of that program, $11,572 this year. No United Way dollars go to staff salaries or adminstrative costs, Watson said. But to provide Community Action and other groups with similar amounts next year, United Way will need a successful fundraising campaign this fall. Its goal for Orange, Durham, Wake and Johnston counties is $17.5 million by the end of the year. “We’re looking for great support for our

agencies,� said Keith Dimsdale, who represents Johnston County on the charity’s board. He hosted a kick-off event last week at his Chik-fil-A restaurant in Smithfield. Where the money goes Local nonprofits apply for United Way funding annually, and a committee of Johnston County residents carries out a careful evaluation of the programs before deciding where the money will go locally. “They have to clearly articulate what they’re going to do with the

money, what difference the money makes,� said Angie Welsh, senior vice president for resource investment. That process for next year’s allocations is going on now, Welsh said, and it’s the first time the Triangle-wide organization has conducted the evaluations here. United Way of Johnston County merged with the larger arm of the national charity last year. This year, United Way doled out $232,798 in Johnston County. — The Smithfield Herald

Another CARA success story to share Our View Issue CARA made local headlines again this past week for teaming up with a famous rock musician to save two emaciated pit bulls

L

ast week, we featured a story involving Carolina Animal Adoption and Rescue and CARA’s Abbey Linauer for their involvement in saving two local pit bulls by driving them to New York so one of them could get life-saving surgery and so both could find a home. The uniqueness of this particular story was that it involved rock musician Rob Thomas, lead singer for the band Matchbox Twenty. Thomas is said to have funded the surgery and helped find the dogs new homes. It was a heartwarming tale, considering these dogs were found in nearby Gulf emaciated. Maggie and her puppy

Mimi were emaciated — Maggie covered in mange and her teeth worn down to nothing, Mimi covered in fleas. Knowing both could have a long and happy life is enough to make any animal lover proud to share a county with an organization like CARA. We’re thankful for CARA, too, because otherwise, Lee County doesn’t come off as the safest haven in the world for pets. We’re a county that still hasn’t embraced a law banning tethering animals, and we’re home to an Animal Control department that’s come under fire in recent years for being understaffed underutilized (to no fault of the hard working employees who do work to con-

trol the animal population). We’re home to countless stray dogs and feral cats, and we’re still a county that uses gas chambers to put animals down, much to the chagrin of several groups, one of which has gathered signatures for a petition to stop the practice. But there’s still CARA, and there are many in our county who not only support the organization, but go out of their way to protect our furry friends. The attendance at CARA’s annual fundraiser, “Run for Their Lives,” was impressive, and the energy from that event provides hope that the county can change.

If election were today

R

ALEIGH — If today were Election Day, it would be a disaster for the Democrats. The Republican Party would retake control of the U.S. House of Representatives, with seats to spare, including the 8th District here in North Carolina and possibly two or three more. In the U.S. Senate, the GOP would win a net gain of eight seats, and possibly the two more needed for a majority. Of the 37 gubernatorial contests this year, Republicans would win most of them ... The GOP would also win as many as 500 legislative seats across the country, flipping a dozen or more chambers from Democratic to Republican — including both houses of the North Carolina General Assembly. The damage would extend all the way down the ballot here in North Carolina. If today were Election Day, Republicans would wrest as many as a dozen county commissions from the Democrats, including Wake County. ... The good news for Democrats is that today is not Election Day. With eight weeks left until the polls close on Nov. 2, enough time remains for some of these trends to be arrested, if not reversed. There could be a massive rebound in employment in the October jobs report. Disasters, international crises, or damaging revelations about key Republican candidates could help change the political subject, dampen GOP enthusiasm, and increase Democratic turnout. The bad news for Democrats, however, is that these possibilities aren’t likelihoods. For months, there’s been a massive energy gap favoring the GOP. It seems likely to persist. The public dislikes ObamaCare and wants it repealed. The public is worried about the economy, distraught about the burgeoning federal debt, and angry at wasteful spending. ... Here in North Carolina, Democrats are struggling not only with the inevitable political damage wrought by a painful recession but also a series of scandals involving current and former state politicians. For the first time in decades, Republicans are competitive in fundraising and have recruited a strong field of candidates for almost all the competitive races. The worst news of all for Democrats is that the disaster scenario for the Democratic Party isn’t based on wishful thinking by Republican operatives. Most Democratic pros admit privately that if things don’t turn around in the next two months, their losses would match if not exceed their drubbing in 1994. The preponderance of polling points in that direction. The Democratic firm Public Policy Polling showed a 49-41 Republican edge in its most recent generic ballot test for the North Carolina legislature. Nationally, recent generic polling for Congress show Republican margins of between seven and 13 points, with the likely-voter samples yielding results on the upper end of that spread. ... But the political pendulum never stops. A Republican Congress would be a useful foil for President Obama, just as a Republican legislature would be for Gov. Perdue ...

HOENIX — Arizona has spent the last several months binging on a cocktail of nativism and fear with a splash of political expediency. Now comes the hangover. It has been several weeks since I was last in the nation’s fifth-largest city as part of the media contingent that descended here for a quick lesson about how not to address the immigration issue. It was early August and U.S. District Court Judge Susan Bolton Ruben Navarrette Jr. had just gutted Arizona’s immigration law, Columnist preventing the worst parts from going into Ruben Navarrette Jr. is a columnist with effect.

Letters to the Editor Why can’t newspaper feature the team that wins on Friday night? To the Editor: What do the kids at Lee County High School have to do in this town to get some recognition? I realize that we have a new high school across town, but that means that we now have two high schools. The new one did not replace the old one. Friday night, Coach Cates of Lee County led his varsity football team to a long-awaited victory over Apex. In Saturday’s Herald, there was a small headline announcing this victory. There was, on the other hand, a rather large picture of the opposing high school’s football player playing in a game in which they lost. Is there something wrong with acknowledging the Lee County kids for a job well done? We have also encountered this problem with hunter safety at the wildlife club. The Lee County High School and East Lee Middle School kids placed very high in the district shoot to go on to the state competition this year. However, many of the coaches had spent extra time with the rival schools to help them “go all the way,” even talking around town about how they were the best. Only Lee County and East Lee made it to the state competition. Why not give all the kids the same attention and coaching? They all deserve the same opportunity. Then, when there is a win situation, why not praise the winning kids for doing well instead of moping because your favorites did not? What am I missing? Can we not give credit where credit is due? I understand that we should support all the kids, no matter the extent of their success. But let’s not slight the kids when they work hard and achieve it. SANDY WHITEHEAD Broadway Editor’s Note: The Southern Lee and Lee County football schedules are such that they alternate home games. In other words, when SLHS is at home, LCHS is typically on the road. When this happens, The Herald assigns its photographer to take photos of the home game. For the most part, we cannot predict which team will win and which will lose. This past week, Southern Lee had a home game, and Lee County played in Apex. While we did staff the LCHS game with a reporter and stringer photographer, SLHS featured our staff photographer and thus, provided the best opportunity for a “larger” portion of the paper.

Why can’t we help Americans in need first? To the Editor: On Aug. 26, as I watched the evening news I thought, what a shame. Five years after Katrina destroyed New Orleans there is still sadness to see and hear. It seems our government has only done part of what they could have for the nightmare these people who lived, went through. When other countries have disasters the U.S. is the first to help. Why can’t these socalled leaders in Washington figure out, help your own first. Without the many donations, church groups and other individuals helping, just where would New Orleans be today. I think a couple extra million dollars could go a long way with the homeowners who had no insurance. On another note, can anyone tell me what other first ladies have taken an out of the country vacation with only part of their family? Who paid the housing expense for the 70-plus Secret Service people that accompanied her? Surely Michelle Obama wouldn’t let the taxpayers foot this bill with the economy like it is today. The U.S. has lost over 4,400 service people in Iraq. To these heroes, along with the other veterans that have paid the ultimate price for our country’s freedom, I say thank you. Let’s try a vacation in the “Good Old” USA. Enjoy our freedom here, In “the land of the free, home of the brave.” Please vote in November — Congress must be totally changed. It’s time for all new faces and opinions, if we are ever going to survive again. Check the polls, the numbers don’t lie. DEANIE SHORE Archdale

theme,” said Andy Bryan, associate superintendent for curriculum and instruction. The year-round middle school would have a classical education focus, with course work emphasizing cultural arts, foreign language, technology and writing. All classes would use the “Socratic Method,” which promotes analytical thinking through discussing or debating issues and backing arguments with facts. “It’s a way of gaining knowledge and really learning to apply that knowledge,” Bryan said. The school would emphasize academics, arts, character education, school pride and community service, but Bryan said the district’s commitment to STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) would also remain intact. “We think it would be a good compliment to the things we’re already doing,” Bryan said. The Middle School Curriculum and Instruction Committee first began discussing the possibility of a year-round middle school when SanLee Middle was under construction. Ultimately, there was not enough interest to justify making the entire school yearround. “When we were building SanLee, East and West were severely overcrowded,” said Sharon Spence, public information officer for Lee County Schools. “We had to move an entire population. We had to fill that school up.” Bryan and Spence said they think a year-round middle school is an exciting prospect, and they hope the school-withina-school and classical education aspects might be more appealing to parents and students. Because the program would be housed in an existing middle school, the number of students in the program does not have to

YEAR-ROUND SCHOOL The proposed yearround middle school would follow the current year-round calendar in the county and adhere to the following themes: ❏ Focus on a classical education emphasizing academics, arts, character education, school pride and community service ❏ Promote a rigorous course of study centered upon cultural arts, foreign language, technology and writing ❏ Deliver instructional lessons utilizing an interdisciplinary approach emphasizing problembased learning ❏ Utilize the “Socratic Method” in all classes to promote analytical thinking and reasoning — Lee County Schools

be as high. “With this survey, the parent interest still has to be there, but it doesn’t have to be as strong as with the other survey,” Spence said. The survey approved by the Board of Education will be distributed to parents to determine the level of interest in the program and what factors might impact their decision to enroll their children there. Bryan said the committee will take more time to ensure the survey fully explains the classical education theme and the school-within-aschool concept before distributing the survey. It will likely be sent to parents in October. The committee is still deciding the best way to distribute the survey so it is easily accessible and yields the most feedback. Once the surveys are collected, the committee will analyze the results and report back to the board. “I think it would be a great opportunity for any student,” Bryan said. “I think the year-round part provides another choice for parents, which we think is important.”

that cuts the so-called “Shook clause.” Crumpton said one of the final “sticking points” for commissioners next week will be detailing a procedure for addressing complaints of ethical wrongdoing.

Crumpton said commissioners have been accused of lapses in the past, although no board member has ever been censured, or reprimanded, by the board as a whole. “I think it’s good that you lay out the process in advance so you don’t have that lynch mob mentality,” he said. Hoyle’s proposed procedure includes a process for commissioners to dismiss complaints or investigate further, eventually taking a vote on whether the targeted member is

due for a reprimand or even legal sanction. Commissioner Amy Dalrymple said the board will have to be cautious in adopting a fair policy that recognizes the complexities of ethics guidelines. “What’s been so difficult on the state level as well as the local level, different people see lines differently,” Dalrymple said. “What may be perfectly fine to some folks, others are like, ‘Wow, they really crossed the line.’ That’s what makes this so tough.” Commissioners are set to meet 3 p.m. Monday.

Lab halts work after PETA video RALEIGH (AP) — A North Carolina lab has stopped doing research and is surrendering all of its animals a week after an undercover video showed what activists allege were workers cruelly treating dogs, cats and rabbits, federal regulators said Wednesday. U.S. Department of Agriculture spokesman Dave Sacks said officials are trying to find new homes for more than 200 animals that were at Professional Laboratory and Research Services Inc. He said it was the company’s decision to give them up and stop research. The USDA inspected the site this week and has started a formal investigation. The developments come after People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals released a video of conditions at the lab. PETA contends that workers violently handled the animals and violated laws.

RALEIGH

STATE BRIEFS Governor’s town hall meetings have been few

RALEIGH (AP) — Beverly Perdue said in 2008 she would be transparent and responsive to the needs of North Carolina residents if elected. Once she became chief executive, she signed executive orders to try to do that and pledged to participate in at least four town hall meetings televised across the state. Approaching the halfway point of her term, she hasn’t yet made the mark on town halls. Her web site identifies two town halls, but both occurred almost 18 months ago and none of them have been televised save for a mention in the news. Perdue spokeswoman Chrissy Pearson said it’s unfair to judge the governor at this point and that the governor has been engaged in public forums throughout her term.

Doctor faces new charge in ballerina’s death

RALEIGH (AP) — A North Carolina doctor awaiting trial in connection with a wreck that killed a 20-year-old ballerina is facing a new charge in the case. Multiple media outlets report that Raymond Dwight Cook of Raleigh was arrested Tuesday after being indicted on a charge of felony death by vehicle. The Wake County District Attorney’s Office says the new indictment doesn’t affect the charges of second-degree murder and driving while impaired that Cook already faces. A trial on those charges is scheduled for November. The 43-year-old plastic surgeon is accused of driving 85 mph when he struck the car of Winston-Salem ballerina Elena Bright Shapiro in September 2009.

College evacuates dorms because of bedbugs

SALISBURY (AP) — A central North Carolina college has become the latest school to fall victim to a bedbug infestation. Catawba College in Salisbury has evacuated about

120 students from residence halls while exterminators deal with an outbreak of the bloodsucking critters. School spokeswoman Tonia Black-Gold says students were asked to leave the dorms by 9 a.m. Wednesday. She says not all the dorm rooms were affected, but all the rooms in the Abernethy Village complex are being treated. Since August, bedbugs have been found at North Carolina Wesleyan College and Wake Forest University.

Feds turn attention to state mental health agency CHARLOTTE (AP) — Problems revealed by a federal review of a western North Carolina mental health provider could result in 500 mentally ill clients being left in the lurch. The Charlotte Observer reports that Mecklenburg County officials plan to end all contracts with the nonprofit provider Mecklenburg Open Door by Nov. 30. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development says the group failed to keep adequate documentation of its work. The federal agency also faulted the county for failing to hold the group accountable.

Some Allstate customers in N.C. get refunds RALEIGH (AP) — State officials say more than 1,800 policy holders of Allstate Insurance Co. in North Carolina will receive refunds because the company charged too much for some insurance policies. State Insurance Commissioner Wayne Goodwin said Wednesday the policy holders will receive refunds totaling more than $680,000. Goodwin says the company shouldn’t have included rental car costs when calculating property damage totals. The mistake occurred from July 2005 to July 2008.

RALEIGH — Some defense attorneys in North Carolina say they will question the credibility of state crime lab analysts in light of memos that showed they were trained to assist prosecutors and an investigation that found some omitted test results that might have helped defendants. An independent investigation about problems in the blood lab, combined with memos and a training manual that advise how to testify for district attorneys, show that any analyst with the State Bureau of Investigation likely is biased toward the prosecution, some defense attorneys said. “If they have been taught that part of their role is to assist the prosecutor, I think that impeaches their credibility,� said attorney Bruce Cunningham of Southern Pines. Cunningham said he planned to question any SBI analyst who testifies at trial in order to determine their biases and credibility. Questions could include how much the SBI analyst earns and how often they meet with prosecutors about cases compared to how often they meet with defense attorneys. “It just is plain to me that prosecutors considered the SBI analysts to be their assistants in preparing and presenting their cases,� Cunningham said. “... And I should be able to expose that.� Questions about the crime lab began in February, when SBI agent Duane Deaver testified at an innocence hearing that the agency’s crime lab had

a policy of not including the results of all blood tests in the lab reports given to courts. The testimony led to an independent review of the lab that concluded SBI analysts had, in a 16-year period ending in 2003, aided prosecutors in obtaining convictions, mostly by misrepresenting blood evidence and keeping critical notes from defense attorneys. In August, SBI director Greg McLeod suspended use of a training manual that advised SBI analysts to tell the prosecutor in advance of any weaknesses in the case. Cunningham said he got the idea to quiz SBI analysts for their prejudices from a 1995 memo by Michael Parker, who was then an assistant district attorney in Union County. The memo advises prosecutors to question defense experts about their fees to expose any bias. He wondered: If prosecutors can quiz defense experts about their prejudices, why can’t he do the same with SBI experts? Defense attorney Diane Savage of Durham, who has tangled with Deaver in court, said she was willing to take Cunningham’s strategy one step further and file a pretrial motion to exclude testimony from any SBI

ing “your SBI expert.� It advises DAs to contact the SBI lab for help in getting information on defense experts and says prosecutors should argue that the defense uses a competent testing lab. “Beware of defense ’whores,�’ it says. Parker defended the memo, which he said he wrote to ease confusion about how to protect the state’s scientific evidence when the defense examines it. Some defense experts “will testify to crazy things,� he said Tuesday. The memo thanks Mark Nelson, who worked for the SBI at the time, and Valerie Spalding, who remains with the Attorney General’s Office. Parker said both reviewed the memo and provided input for it. A spokeswoman for Attorney General Roy Cooper said none of the Justice Department leaders was in office in 1995. Regardless, the use of the term “defense whores� was inappropriate, spokeswoman Noelle Talley said. On the issue of questioning SBI analysts, she said hundreds of SBI employees do their jobs correctly and that each case should stand on its own merits. Taylor’s attorney said law enforcement must work with prosecutors to determine if there’s a case, but they also should work as checks against the other. “And the lab should be a check related to the proof of the police and prosecutors’ independent thoughts,� he said. “They should never work together to create a theory and then fit facts into that theory. That is what has been happening and that is dangerous.�

agent. “They’ve all been trained the same way,� she said. “That’s why my position has been that they all need to replaced because I don’t think they can be retrained.� Attorney Joe Cheshire of Raleigh, who represented Greg Taylor at the innocence hearing in February, said he agrees that all lab employees have been taught that they’re part of the prosecution. “That said, I do believe there are honest techs,� he said in an e-mail. “... Anyone who just paints everyone with one brush is doing the same thing they accuse the SBI of doing.� State law says the lab is set up to “render a reasonable service to the prosecuting officers (DAs) of the State in the discharge of their duties.� It also says the lab is to examine evidence “leading to the identification, apprehension or conviction of criminals.� Parker said he was surprised that defense attorneys hadn’t pursued such questions in the past, but another prosecutor said he wasn’t sure a judge would allow such questions. “I’m sure that most defense lawyers see this as a big birthday present wrapped in a pretty box and they just can’t wait to unwrap it,� said Seth Edwards, a DA in eastern North Carolina and president of the N.C. Conference of District Attorneys. “Ultimately, I would argue that many of those lines of questioning will not be permissible in court.� The 1995 memo from Parker, who’s now a DA for Anson, Richmond and Stanly counties, refers to the SBI analyst as be-

AP Poll: Climate for GOP getting better

WASHINGTON (AP) — Tilted toward the GOP from the start of the year, the political environment has grown even more favorable for Republicans and rockier for President Barack Obama and his Democrats over the long primary season that just ended with a bang. With November’s matchups set and the general election campaign beginning in earnest Wednesday, an Associated Press-GfK poll found that more Americans say the country is headed in the wrong direction than did before the nomination contests got under way in February. Also, more now disapprove of the job Obama is doing. And more now want to see Republicans in control of Congress rather than the Democrats who now run the House and Senate. The country’s pessimism benefits the out-of-power GOP, which clearly has enthusiasm on its side. Far more people voted this year in Republicans primaries than in Democratic contests, and the antiestablishment tea party coalition has energized the GOP even as it has sprung a series of primary surprises. “We’re definitely in a stronger position than we’ve been in really at any point this year,� Sen. John Cornyn, who leads the effort to elect Senate Republicans, said in an interview. Said Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell: “Turnout and enthusiasm are off the charts.� Indeed, Republicans expected turnout of 30,000 to 40,000 in Delaware on Tuesday. Some 57,582 people showed up to vote as tea party-backed Christine O’Donnell upset

Delaware Republican Senate candidate Christine O’Donnell laughs while talking with family members in between television interviews Wednesday in Dover, Del. O’Donnell defeated Rep. Mike Castle, R-Del., in Tuesday’s primary. moderate Rep. Mike Castle for the Senate GOP nomination. By most accounts, the outcome diminished Republican chances of winning former Vice President Joe Biden’s seat. But Republicans got their preferred candidate in New Hampshire as former state Attorney General Kelly Ayotte fended off tea party-sup-

ported Ovide Lamontagne by a razor-thin margin. Fueling voter anger is an unemployment rate that’s hovered near 10 percent all year despite efforts by Obama and fellow Democrats to accelerate the economic recovery. “I’m going to do everything in my power to make sure that they’re out of office,� said independent voter Robbin Payton of Newport News, Va., reflecting just how toxic the

environment is for the party in power. Overall, it’s an extraordinarily dreary backdrop for Obama’s beleaguered party. And with just seven weeks until Election Day, Democrats are running out of options to mitigate widespread expected losses of House, Senate and governor’s seats from coast to coast on Nov. 2. “The reality is if you take the 30,000-foot view, it doesn’t probably look that inviting,� Sen. Robert Menendez of New Jersey, who leads the committee charged with electing Senate Democrats, said in an interview. “If you take the state-by-state view ... it’s far more beneficial to us� because in places like Delaware “Republicans have chosen extremists to be their nominees.� In the House, Speaker Nancy Pelosi predicted that the Democrats would keep control. But, underscoring the woes facing Democrats, she stopped short of the kind of confidence she’s shown in past campaigns when her party had a politi-

cal tail wind. “I am not yielding one grain of sand. I want to have the same big, strong majority that we have,� said Pelosi, D-Calif. As Illinois kicked off the primary season Feb. 2, there was little talk even among Republicans that power in the House was in reach, much less in the Senate. But the national landscape has only has worsened for Democrats. Back then: ■The unemployment rate was 9.7 percent; it’s 9.6 now. ■Half of the country said in January that the country was on the wrong track; 57 percent say that now in the new AP-GfK poll. ■About 42 percent of the country disapproved of Obama’s job performance; half does now. ■Democrats had a 49 percent to 37 percent advantage over Republicans on the party that voters want to see control Congress; the GOP now enjoys a 55-39 lead among likely voters. Republicans have steadily gained ground on economic issues and now have a slight advantage on

handling the economy, the federal deficit and taxes. They improved their standing in the past month even as Obama stepped up his efforts to persuade the public to give Democratic solutions more time to work. At the same time, 40 percent of likely voters call themselves tea party supporters, and most of them lean toward Republicans while nearly two-thirds have a deeply negative impression of Democrats. That means the GOP could be in strong shape on Nov. 2 if tea party backers turn out and vote Republican. That’s what they’ve been doing so far this year: The grass-roots, antiestablishment movement can claim wins in at least seven GOP Senate races, a handful of Republican gubernatorial contests and dozens of House primary campaigns. Also, Obama’s job-performance standing on the economy is at a low point, and a majority of people now say they will consider their feelings about him when they vote for Congress this fall. “I don’t care for what the man is doing. I think he’s leaving a lot of Americans behind,� said independent Larry Schmidt, 61, of Shingletown, Calif. He says he’ll back a Republican, if he even votes. The House is most at risk of changing hands. Upward of 75 races are competitive, most held by Democrats. Republicans need to gain 40 seats to seize control. Most vulnerable are conservative-to-moderate Democrats in districts John McCain won in the 2008 presidential campaign, and other Democrats who rode Obama’s coattails, benefiting from participation spikes among young and minority voters. The GOP needs a 10-seat gain for Senate control, a tall order.

Prosecutor ‘sexted’ abuse victim

Smoking bans help curb children’s asthma attacks

CHILTON, Wis. (AP) — A prominent Wisconsin district attorney sent repeated text messages trying to spark an affair with a domestic abuse victim while he was prosecuting her ex-boyfriend, a police report shows. The 26-year-old woman complained last year to police after receiving 30 texts from Calumet County District Attorney Kenneth Kratz in three days, according to the report obtained by The Associated Press. “Are you the kind of girl that likes secret contact with an older married elected DA ... the riskier the better?� Kratz, 50, wrote in a message to Stephanie Van Groll in October 2009. In another, he wrote: “I would not expect you to be the other woman. I would want you to be so hot and treat me so well that you’d be THE woman! R U that good?� Kratz was prosecuting Van Groll’s ex-boyfriend on charges he nearly choked her to death last year. He also was veteran chair of the Wisconsin Crime Victims’ Rights Board, a quasi-judicial agency that can reprimand judges, prosecutors and police officers who mistreat crime victims. In a combative interview in his office Wednesday, Kratz did not deny sending the messages and expressed concern their publication would unfairly embarrass him personally and professionally. He said the Office of Lawyer Regulation had found he did not violate any rules governing attorney misconduct. That office cannot comment on investigations. “This is a non-news story,� Kratz shouted. But he added, “I’m worried about it because of my reputational interests. I’m worried about it because of my 25 years as a prosecu-

Calumet County District Attorney Kenneth Kratz gives his closing argument in the Steven Avery trial in the courtroom in Chilton, Wis. Police say Kratz sent repeated text messages trying to spark an affair with a domestic abuse victim while he was prosecuting her ex-boyfriend. tor.� Van Groll told police in Kaukauna, Wis., where she lived, that she felt pressured to have a relationship with Kratz or he would drop the charges against her ex-boyfriend. Kratz then removed himself from that prosecution and the state Department of Justice took over. He resigned from the crime victims board, which he helped create, after more than a decade as chair. He and his wife filed for divorce last December, although he said they were separated when the messages were sent. Kratz has remained the top prosecutor based in Chilton, where he has served since 1992 and earns a $105,000 salary. Kratz, a Republican, said he intends to run for reelection in November 2012. “Nothing really happened to him and I had three days of hell,� Van Groll said in a phone interview with the AP. “They gave him a slap on the wrist and told him not to do it again. If it was anybody else that did

something like this, they’d lose their job.� Domestic violence experts called Kratz’s text messages disturbing and unethical for several reasons, including the power differential between a prosecutor and a younger abuse victim. “If what’s being alleged is true, it’s sad a prosecutor would use the same sort of power and control over a woman who has already experienced that in her personal life,� said Patti Seger, executive director of the Wisconsin Coalition Against Domestic Violence. Kratz may be best known for prosecuting Steven Avery in the 2005 killing of Teresa Halbach, a 25-year-old photographer. The case won national attention because Avery had spent 18 years behind bars for a rape he did not commit in a separate case before DNA evidence implicated someone else. Kratz received glowing media attention and flirted with a run for Congress in 2008. Last year, around the time he was texting Van

Groll, Kratz was back in the spotlight for prosecuting a woman who worked with others to lure a boyfriend to a hotel room and glued his penis to his stomach as revenge for his cheating. Kratz cited an undisclosed conflict of interest in stepping away from the abuse case after Van Groll reported the text messages, court records show. An assistant state attorney general acted as special prosecutor and won a conviction on one felony count of strangulation against the man, Shannon Konitzer. Van Groll said Kratz sent the first text minutes after she left his office, where he had interviewed her about the case. He said it was nice talking and “you have such potential,� signing the message “KEN (your favorite DA).� Twenty minutes later, he added, “I wish you weren’t one of this office’s clients. You’d be a cool person to know!� But he quickly tried to start a relationship and told her to keep quiet about the texts.

ATLANTA (AP) — New research shows that smoking bans spare many children with asthma from being hospitalized, a finding that suggests smoke-free laws have even greater health benefits than previously believed. Other studies have charted the decline in adult heart attack rates after smoking bans were adopted. The new study, conducted in Scotland, looked at asthma-related hospitalizations of kids, which fell 13 percent a year after smoking was barred in 2006 from workplaces and public buildings, including bars and restaurants. Before the ban, admissions had been rising 5 percent a year in Scotland, which has a notoriously poor health record among European countries. Earlier U.S. studies, in Arizona and Kentucky, reached similar conclusions. But this was the largest study of its kind — and offered the strongest case that smoking bans can bring immediate health improvements for many people. “The effects of smokefree laws are way bigger than you would expect,� said Stanton Glantz, a University of CaliforniaSan Francisco researcher who specializes in the health effects of smoking. He was not involved in the new study, published in Thursday’s New England Journal of Medicine. Cigarette smoke is a trigger for asthma attacks. So researchers reasoned that tracking severe cases was perhaps the best way to measure a smoking ban’s immediate effect on children.

Van Groll at first was polite, saying Kratz was “a nice person� and thanking him for praise. By the second day, she responded with answers such as “dono� or “no.� Kratz questioned whether her “low self-esteem� was to blame for the lack of interest. “I’m serious! I’m the atty. I have the $350,000 house. I have the 6-figure career. You may be the tall, young, hot nymph, but I am the prize!� he texted. Kratz told her the relationship would unfold slow enough for “Shannon’s case to get done.� “Remember it would have to be special enough to risk all,� he wrote. Van Groll said she went to police on the third day after the messages started becoming “kind of vulgar.�

“Acute asthma is the tip of the iceberg,� more easily tracked than less severe breathing problems, ear infections and other problems seen in children that have been linked to a caregiver’s smoking, said Terry Pechacek of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s office on smoking and health. About 40 percent of American children who go to hospitals because of asthma attacks live with smokers — a high proportion, given that only about 21 percent of U.S. adults smoke, according to CDC statistics. Smoking bans have become increasingly common in the United States, where 35 states and the District of Columbia have laws that bar smoking in workplaces or restaurants and bars, or both. And more than 3,100 cities and towns have their own restrictions, according to the American Nonsmokers’ Rights Foundation. The push continues: This week, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced city officials will pursue a broad extension of the city’s smoking ban to parks, beaches and pedestrian plazas throughout the city. Many European countries — including Britain, France and Germany — forbid smoking in all public places. But Italy, Greece and some others have been slower to adopt the bans, sometimes simply limiting smoking in certain areas. In the new report, researchers looked at emergency hospital admissions for asthma at all of Scotland’s hospitals from January 2000 through October 2009. The data was for kids age 14 and younger.

BANS ON FAKE MARIJUANA DO LITTLE TO DETER BUSINESS

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — Authorities in 13 states thought they were acting to curb a public health threat when they outlawed a form of synthetic marijuana known as K2, a concoction of dried herbs sprayed with chemicals. But before the laws took effect, many stores that did a brisk business in fake pot had already gotten around the bans by making slight changes to K2’s chemical formula, creating knockoffs with names such as “K3,� “Heaven Scent� and “Syn.� “It’s kind of pointless,� said University of Missouri sophomore Brittany May after purchasing a K2 alternative called “BoCoMo Dew� at a Columbia smoke shop. “They’re just going to come up with another thing.� Barely six months after Kansas adopted the nation’s first ban on K2, even police acknowledge that the laws are all but meaningless because merchants can so easily offer legal alternatives. Until a year ago, products such as K2 were virtually unknown in the United States. Clemson University chemistry professor John Huffman developed the compounds in 1995 while researching the effect of cannabinoids, the active compounds found in marijuana. Huffman had little reason to believe his lab work would morph into a commercial product. He calls users of K2 and its chemical cousins “idiots,� noting the lack of research into the substance’s effects, which include reports of

Authorities in 13 states thought they were acting to curb a public health threat when they outlawed a form of synthetic marijuana known as K2: a concoction of dried herbs sprayed with chemicals. rapid heartbeats and high blood pressure. It’s often labeled as incense with warnings against human consumption. Yet Huffman has little faith that the bans designed to combat the problem will deter manufacturers or consumers. “It’s not going to be effective,� he said. “Is the ban on marijuana effective?� He also doubts that law enforcement agencies will be able to devote the necessary resources to identify such complex creations as “1-pentyl3-(1-naphthoyl)indole,� the substance’s scientific name. The compound sold as K2 is also known by the scientific shorthand of JWH-018, a nod to its creator’s initials. “The guy in the average crime lab isn’t really capable of doing the kind

of sophisticated tests necessary� to identify the substance, he said. The bans were adopted by lawmakers or public health officials in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Hawaii, Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Dakota and Tennessee. Missouri state Sen. Kurt Schaefer, a Republican from Columbia, acknowledges that the marketplace has quickly adapted to his state’s ban. He also firmly believes that the new law, along with a wave of media reports, is an effective deterrent, especially for potential users under 18, and their parents. “We’ve at least minimized the threat to public safety,� he said. The Missouri statute identifies five synthetic cannabinoids by name,

but leaves out many others. Police and public health experts say that users seeking the more benign high associated with marijuana may be unprepared for the synthetic version. Users of K2 describe a more intense but shorter high, with effects lasting about 20 minutes as opposed to several hours. Schaefer said lawmakers may consider a broader ban next year if the law proves ineffective. He also drew a sharp distinction between synthetic marijuana and the natural alternative. “No one should confuse this product with marijuana,� he said. “This is guys standing around in a factory wearing rubber boots and spraying chemicals on dried leaves.�

Arlington opens graves, finds 3 misplaced bodies WASHINGTON (AP) — Three people were buried in the wrong graves at Arlington National Cemetery, the Army said Wednesday as it followed up an investigation into bookkeeping problems and burial mix-ups at one of the nation’s most hallowed sites. After a report issued in June found that the problems could potentially affect thousands of graves, defense officials received about 1,100 calls from worried families. One of those callers, the widow of an Army staff sergeant, led to the exhumation of three graves late last month. The three remains in those graves, all former members of the armed forces, were found to be in the wrong place, said Gary Tallman, an Army spokesman. “The families are satisfied that the problem was fixed,� Tallman said Wednesday. A fourth grave was opened Wednesday in a different section of Arlington. At the request of his father, the grave and casket of Marine Pfc. Heath Warner of Canton, Ohio, were opened. The site was found to hold the remains of Warner, who was killed in Iraq in 2006, Tallman said.

Calif. files lawsuit against leaders of troubled city LOS ANGELES (AP) — The California attorney general’s office sued eight former and current Bell city officials on Wednesday, accusing them of fraud, conspiracy and wasting taxpayers money by approving huge salary increases for themselves. The suit demands city officials, including former City Manager Robert Rizzo and three current council members, return hundreds of thousands of dollars from the bloated salaries. The legal action also calls

for a reduction of pension benefits that were based on the high salaries. Rizzo’s attorney James Spertus said his client believes he did nothing wrong. “His contracts were presented by the City Council and countersigned by the city attorney and he acted openly and transparently when he interacted with the city,� Spertus said, adding the council raised Rizzo’s pay to retain him. “Right now he’s being sued because he said OK,� Spertus said, contending any public anger about high salaries should be directed at elected officials.

Jindal: Nucor picks Louisiana for $3.5B project GRAMERCY, La. (AP) — Steelmaker Nucor Corp. chose a site in St. James Parish for a $3.5 billion iron plant project that will be built in five phases, Gov. Bobby Jindal and company officials announced Wednesday. The first phase of the project is a $750 million direct reduced iron facility that will create 150 jobs. Future phases, according to Nucor, will include a second DRI facility, a pig iron blast furnace, coke ovens and, ultimately, a steel mill itself. “This is a long-term investment,� Jindal said during a news conference. “It is not about the next six months or the next year.� John Ferriola, Nucor’s chief operating officer, said the initial pig iron blast furnace project has been pushed back because of concerns about climate-control legislation, particularly “cap-andtrade� legislation, that is now before Congress. Ferriola said DRI facilities, which are fired by natural gas, have fewer emissions than the coke-fired blast furnace. Coke emissions might be covered under the “cap-and-trade� discussions, he said, noting that future phases of the project will depend on what happens with the climate legislation.

Affleck goes to ‘Town’ as director

TORONTO (AP) — Matt Damon sees a lot of Clint Eastwood in the career turnaround that’s happening for his buddy Ben Affleck. Affleck was a punch line, a tabloid-headline fixture a few years back. He scored a $200 million hit with “Pearl Harbor,” yet quipsters made wisecracks about how Affleck apparently won World War II single-handedly in that one. Even as Affleck delivered hits such as “The Sum of All Fears” and “Paycheck,” critics perpetually knocked his performances as stiff and leaden. The lowpoint was “Gigli,” the 2003 bomb he made with Jennifer Lopez amid the maelstrom of gossip over their romance, before he settled down and had a family with Jennifer Garner. Then came “Hollywoodland,” which earned Affleck a Golden Globe nomination. He followed with his acclaimed directing debut on “Gone Baby Gone.” Now Affleck returns with “The Town,” a genre-bending bank-heist thriller that is loaded with action but also heavy on gritty working-class drama and sweet romance. He directs and stars, delivering what Damon called the “best performance I’ve

In a lot of ways, I always think of Clint, because Clint was doing orangutan movies, and people weren’t taking him as seriously. And look at the second half of his career. He’s an icon. And I really feel like that’s the kind of career Ben’s going to have.” Damon has starred in two films directed by Eastwood, last year’s “Invictus” and the upcoming “Hereafter.” So he’s in a good position to

compare and contrast his pal Affleck and grand old master Eastwood. Hearing of Damon’s high praise, Affleck smiled. “Who needs a publicist when you’ve got a friend like Matt?” Affleck said in an interview at the Toronto International Film Festival, where “The Town” played in advance of its theatrical release on Friday. “I’ve got to pay this guy.” In the tabloid years, Affleck could get prickly in interviews if reporters brought up his personal life, and he seemed more sensitive about criticism of his performances. Though he got many fine reviews for his work in such films as “Chasing Amy,” “Dogma” and “Changing Lanes,” he said

he often felt critics judged him too harshly because of his gossip value. “Tabloids do a lot to get in the way of trying to do this work, because they cause audiences to think of you in a different context, and it makes it much harder for them to believe you playing your role. And then they blame you for it,” Affleck said. “I could try to go back and re-litigate my case in various ways, but, you know, some of them I might win and some of them I might lose. So it really doesn’t serve me to worry about a review I got back when Barack Obama was a state senator in Illinois. “What serves me is paying attention to the kind of work I want to do now, having a very strong, frank, candid metric for evaluating my own work. I am interested in criticism and feedback from thoughtful, fair people who care, and because good criticism can really, really be a great benefit. It can help you learn.” Set around Affleck’s home town of Boston, “The Town” is based on a novel by Chuck Hogan. Affleck, who co-wrote the screenplay, plays Doug MacRay, the leader of a daring band of bank robbers, who falls for a bank manager (Rebecca Hall) the gang takes hostage on their latest job.

Nanny: TV movie inspired her claim in Smith case LOS ANGELES (AP) — A nanny whose credibility has come under attack by defense lawyers in the Anna Nicole Smith drug trial testified Wednesday that a movie inspired her previSmith ous claim that she saw two defendants melt pills in a spoon and inject the former Playboy model with the liquid. Nadine Alexie said she did see a spoon being taken into a bathroom with Smith but did not see any drugs being melted or injected by defendants Howard K. Stern or Dr. Khristine Eroshevich. “Did you tell police you got the idea of melting pills from a movie you’d seen?” Eroshevich’s lawyer Brad Brunon asked. “Yes,” she said. “I saw that on TV.” Stern, Eroshevich and Dr. Sandeep Kapoor have pleaded not guilty to providing Smith excessive opiates and sedatives. They are not charged with causing her overdose death in 2007. Wednesday’s court session began with Superior Court Judge Robert Perry giving lawyers a lecture outside the jury’s presence about the importance of ethics in a trial. The remarks came on the heels of a blowup Tuesday over a claim by Stern’s lawyer, Steve Sadow, that

TV correspondent Newman dies NEW YORK (AP) — Edwin Newman, who brought literacy, wit and energy to NBC newscasts for more than three decades, and battled linguistic pretense and clutter in his best sellers “Strictly Speaking” and “A Civil Tongue,” has died. He was 91. Newman died on Aug. 13 of pneumonia in Oxford, England. He had moved there with his wife in 2007 to live closer to their Newman daughter, said his lawyer Rupert Mead. He said the family delayed announcing Newman’s death so they could spend some time privately grieving. At NBC from 1952 until his retirement in 1984, Newman did political reporting, foreign reporting, anchoring of news specials, “Meet the Press,” “Today,” “Nightly News,” midday news and a variety of radio spots. He announced the death of President Kennedy on radio, and anchored on TV when President Reagan was shot. He also narrated and helped write documentaries, back when they were an influential staple of network programming. They included “Who Shall Live?” — a 1965 study of the difficulties of deciding which kidney disease should receive lifesaving dialysis — and “Politics: The Outer Fringe,” a 1966 look at extremism.

‘Idol’ opens new auditions on MySpace LOS ANGELES (AP) — The first online auditions for “American Idol” are open. To mark the Fox TV show’s 10th anniversary, hopeful pop stars have the chance to submit an audition video at MySpace through Oct. 6. The entries must be no longer than 40 seconds and chosen from a list of songs posted online, along with other audition guidelines, Fox said Wednesday. Contestants for the show must be between the ages of 15 and 28. The song possibilities include Bill Withers’ “Ain’t No Sunshine,” Keith Urban’s “Kiss a Girl” and Barry Manilow’s “Copacabana.” A “select number” of people will move on to a tryout in Los Angeles, the network said, but didn’t specify how many. In 2007, “American Idol” staged its first online contest, this one for songwriters.

Oman in rare spotlight after bail deal

MUSCAT, Oman (AP) — Oman’s royal leaders have long preferred the understated approach: No high-rises like their Gulf neighbors and policies that quietly balance close ties with both Washington and Tehran. Now their role as the middlemen — and maybe even the money men — to free American Sarah Shourd from Iranian custody has drawn rare attention to the sultanate and its role as low-key diplomat. Omani officials have offered few details since spiriting Shourd from Tehran to a royal airfield aboard a private jet. The 32-year-old American was scheduled for a medical exam Wednesday, her first full day of freedom in more than 13 months, but has given no indication of her plans beyond Muscat — a jumble of low-rise seaside buildings and elegant minarets. Her mother says her daughter has serious medical problems, including a breast lump and precancerous cervical cells. There has been little official explanation about Oman’s role in Shourd’s release, except for a Foreign Ministry statement thanking Iran and expressing hope for future steps aimed at repairing relations

Sarah Shourd, 32, of the U.S., center, walks with her mother Nora Shourd, right, upon Sarah Shourd’s arrival at the royal airport in Muscat, Oman, Tuesday after leaving Tehran, Iran. between Washington and Tehran. President Barack Obama and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton both thanked Oman for its assistance. “The Americans discovered the Omanis can be a good go-between, especially when there’s a human dimension,� said Mustafa Alani of the Dubai-based Gulf Research Center. “Tehran always opens its door to the Omanis.� To help secure Shourd’s release, Oman played intermediary for a half-million-dollar bail that satisfied Iranian authorities and appar-

ently did not violate U.S. economic sanctions. The source of the bail payment has not been disclosed. Shourd’s attorney, Masoud Shafiei, told The Associated Press in Tehran that a “foreign individual paid the bail in Muscat� and insisted it was “neither a government nor an embassy,� though he did not know the identity of the benefactor. Oman’s ruler, Sultan Qaboos bin Said, was the first foreign leader to visit Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad after last year’s disputed election. Together the

two countries manage the narrow Straits of Hormuz through which 40 percent of the world’s oil passes. Yet Oman boasts decades-old ties to Washington as well. The United States considers Oman an ally in the region — though one without the overt American military presence seen in other Gulf states, such as Bahrain and Qatar. The relationship is so strong that in 2008, then-Vice President Dick Cheney went fishing in the waters off the country’s coast, borrowing the sultan’s 60-foot royal yacht.

No deal: Mideast round ends amid fresh violence

Firefight involving U.S.-Iraq forces leaves 6 dead

JERUSALEM (AP) — A mortar attack by Palestinian militants and airstrikes by Israel formed the grim backdrop as Mideast leaders ended their latest round of peace talks Wednesday, still divided on major issues. There was no word on when they would meet again. The inconclusive U.S.-brokered talks between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas left in doubt the prospects for their new effort to end generations of hostilities in the region and create a sovereign Palestine alongside a secure Israel. George Mitchell, the U.S. envoy for Mideast peace efforts, emerged from an evening session to say the talks had been encouraging but had fallen short of agreement. “A serious and substantive discussion is well under way,� Mitchell told a news conference. Abbas and Netanyahu met with U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton for about two hours at the Israeli leader’s official residence here and agreed to continue the search for a peace deal, he said. But the leaders face a looming crisis with the expiration this month of Israel’s partial moratorium on West Bank settlement construction, and it was not clear when they would reconvene.

BAGHDAD (AP) — For the second time in less than a week, U.S. forces were drawn into deadly fighting against insurgents — a reminder of the ongoing dangers American forces face well after President Barack Obama declared a formal end to combat. With a persistent insurgency, ongoing sectarian tensions and no agreement on a new government after six months of wrangling, stabilizing Iraq before all American forces leave still seems a distant dream. Wednesday’s raid, in which at least six people were killed, was in the former insurgent stronghold of Fallujah — highlighting the persistent danger that al-Qaida-linked militants still pose despite years of efforts by both Iraqi and U.S. forces to root them out. Insurgents seem to have redoubled their efforts this summer to target Iraqi security forces taking over from the departing Americans — nine Iraqi soldiers died Wednesday in a roadside bombing while two police officers in Baghdad were shot and killed. The militants are trying to undermine the so-called “Sons of Iraq� — the anti-al-Qaida militia that was instrumental in reducing violence. The anger with which Fallujah officials reacted to the raid spotlights another persistent threat to Iraq’s security: deep divisions between the minority Sunnis and the Shiite majority that rules the country.

Shorthanded Lee falls to F-V Jackets missing two top players taking part in Lee County Fair pageant By RYAN SARDA

sarda@sanfordherald.com

SANFORD — The Lee County tennis team was without two of its top six players in its Tri-9 Conference battle with Fuquay-Varina. The Yellow Jackets sure did miss them, too.

QUICKREAD

Playing without No. 3 seed Dare Hincks and No.5 seed Alex Ridall, the Yellow Jackets lost to the Bengals 7-2 on Wednesday afternoon. Hincks and Ridall were unable to play because they were participating in the pageant at the Lee Regional Fair. “The good thing about

matches like this is that it helps give some of your other girls experience,” said Lee County head coach Mary Tatum. “It gets girls that aren’t usually in the top-six in the top six and let’s them get vital playing experience. Matches like this are a great learning tool for this team.”

The Yellow Jackets earned big wins from No. 1 seed Elizabeth Gay who swept her Fuquay-Varina opponent in straight sets, winning 6-0, 6-0. Jan Ansley, the No. 2 seed for the Yellow Jackets, held on for the 7-5, 6-4 victory over her

Saban: Ingram ready to go against Duke

Saunders dismissed from Gamecocks COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — The Weslye Saunders football saga at South Carolina came to an end on Wednesday, when the tight end was kicked off the team. Athletic director Eric Hyman announced the decision in a statement and coach Steve Spurrier would not go into any details after practice later Wednesday. “Most of you probably already heard, Weslye Saunders is not a member of our team anymore,” Spurrier said. “That’s probably about all we need to say about it.” Spurrier would not discuss details of the dismissal. “The fact is he’s no longer a member of the team,” the coach said. “I’m not talking specifics.” Saunders, suspended since Aug. 23, had been at the center of the Gamecocks’ NCAA problems this summer. He was questioned by the governing body about potential agent contact regarding a party in South Beach, Fla., this spring.

N.C. State

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) — Alabama coach Nick Saban says Heisman Trophy winner Mark Ingram is “ready to go” and will play against Duke on Saturday. Ingram has practiced all week for the top-ranked Crimson Tide after missing the first two games following arthroscopic surgery on his left knee. Saban said Wednesday he hasn’t decided on Ingram’s role his first game back in a game where the Tide is heavily favored. “He’s done well,” Saban said. “He’s running fast and hard and cutting and doing well. Ingram is also facing questions of whether the Heisman winner would start after Trent Richardson averaged 6.6 yards on 32 carries during his absence. Richardson also ranks second in the SEC in all-purpose yardage. “We really don’t look at it as what team he’s on or whether he starts or doesn’t start,” Saban said. “We feel like (Ingram) needs to play in this game to enhance his development in terms of coming back and rehabilitating himself physically and from a confidence standpoint.” The Duke game comes ahead of consecutive games against ranked opponents — No. 12 Arkansas, No. 10 Florida and No. 13 South Carolina.

CHARLOTTE (AP) — Just three days after getting knocked out of Carolina’s season opening loss with a concussion, Panthers quarterback Matt Moore practiced and expressed confidence he’ll play Sunday against Tampa Bay. If Moore passes additional cognitive tests and is cleared by doctors later this week, coach John Fox will give Moore a chance to atone for a poor season debut and delay rookie Jimmy Clausen’s first NFL start. “I felt good today,” said Moore, who was listed as being limited in Carolina’s workout Wednesday. “We’ll wait and see what the doctors say or whatever, but I felt really good.” It was a big improvement from Sunday, when Moore acknowledged it took a second jarring hit to realize

CHAPEL HILL — Charlie Coiner, who spent most of the past decade working in the NFL, began working with the North Carolina defensive line and special teams Tuesday and is expected to fill the void left by d-line coach John Blake, who resigned last week. “He’s a good football coach,” UNC coach Butch Davis said during the ACC teleconference Coiner Wednesday. “He’s smart, he’s bright, he’s got good communication skills, he’s a good teacher [and] he’s got a unique perspective in that

Wolfpack coach O’Brien aware of Cincy’s weapons By JOEDY McCREARY

AP Sports Writer

RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina State coach Tom O’Brien grew up in Cincinnati, still roots for the Reds and continues to look for recruits in southwestern Ohio. So, yes, he’s noticed what his hometown Bearcats have done in the Big East since he left that conference and they joined it. “When you win 33 games like they have (from 2007-09) ... it just shows how far that program has come, and how good they really are,” O’Brien

said. The Big East’s two-time BCS representatives are still trying to prove they haven’t taken a step back with the departure of coach Brian Kelly to Notre Dame, starting Thursday night when Cincinnati (1-1) visits the Wolfpack (2-0). It marks the latest test of a critical four-game swing for the Bearcats, who lost a tricky

Canes’ Gleason takes up figure skating — for a day By JOEDY McCREARY AP Sports Writer

RALEIGH (AP) — Tim Gleason is always at his best near the blue line, and during Wednesday’s skate, that’s where the Carolina Hurricanes defenseman made his most impressive move. Only this time it wasn’t a bruising check or a blistering slap shot — but a waltz jump. The Hurricanes’ enforcer shed his tough-guy image for some figure skating with fellow U.S. Olympians Mark Ladwig and

Amanda Evora. Gleason held his own, though clearly out of his element. “I don’t have many talents, other than maybe shooting or hitting somebody,” he said. The Olympians were in town in advance of the U.S. Figure Skating Championships, which come to Greensboro in January. They showed Gleason — who wore hockey skates without a toe pick — how to do a side-by-side Axel. And they watched as he attempt-

SANFORD—The Lee County volleyball team was defeated in straight sets by Triton in nonconference action on Wednesday night. The scores were 13-25, 20-25, 17-25 as the Yellow Jackets fall to 2-8 overall and remain at 0-7 in the Tri-9 Conference. “Triton is a good volleyball club,� said Lee County head coach Cindy Kelly. “We look forward to playing them every year. I thought we played well in that second game, but we

opponent. The Bengals took the rest of the singles and doubles matches. Despite winning two matches in singles, the absence of Hincks and Ridall was felt by the Yellow Jackets all throughout the match. “We’re usually very even with Fuquay,� said Tatum. “I think that if we had our usual top six players, I think we

just couldn’t get over the hump.� The closest game of the three sets was game two, where the Yellow Jackets only lost by five. Kelly says she was very impressed with her team’s play in the second game, but there were still plenty of miscues that prevented the victory. “I thought we passed a lot better in that second game,� said Kelly. “We just lacked the communication to pull it out. I told the team afterwards that you have to be consistent at every position and we are get-

ting closer and closer in each game.� The Yellow Jackets will close out the first half of their Tri-9 Conference schedule when they host Fuquay-Varina on Thursday night. The Bengals are also winless in the conference and the Yellow Jackets could get their first conference victory of the season if all goes according to plan. “We are looking for our first conference win,� said Kelly. “We’re excited about Fuquay and we’re excited about being at home again.�

could’ve pulled out the victory. We’ll get another shot at Fuquay later on this season and hopefully, we’ll have our top six.� Tatum says that she’s looking forward to the second half of the conference season feeling like the Lady Jackets (4-6, 2-6) can make a late-season run to the top of the conference standings, which is similar to what they did last year when they finished the season with a 10-12 overall record and a 6-10 conference mark and had six players

qualify for the conference tournament. That quest will begin today when the Lady Jackets host conference foe Apex as the second half of conference play begins at 4 p.m. “It’s not about how you start, it’s how you finish,� said Tatum. “We want to use the second half of the season as a true measure of our success. We made an impressive run last year and hopefully, we can do it again this year. We’ve got to take things one step at a time, though.�

West Coast, play in a difficult environment, play in one of the best ACC environments in N.C. State, then get done with that, turn around and go play Oklahoma. “It is a great challenge, especially when you are playing so many young players.” There will be plenty of new faces on the field for both teams when Cincinnati’s defense matches up against the Wolfpack offense. The Bearcats don’t start any seniors on defense, while three of N.C. State’s starting offensive linemen had never started a game before this season and both of the Wolfpack’s two tailbacks on the depth chart are freshmen. The centerpieces of both offenses are dualthreat quarterbacks with differing levels of experience. N.C. State’s Russell Wilson is in his third season as the starter but is still trying to rediscover his football form after spending the summer playing baseball in the Colorado Rockies’ organization. Wilson, who was 10 of 30 for 105 yards in the Central Florida win, is “still feeling his way and getting back into the swing of things,” O’Brien said. “You can’t give football up in November and pick a ball up in August and think that you’re going to be on top of your game,” he said. Zach Collaros inherited the starting job at Cincinnati on a full-time basis this season after making four starts in 2009 when Tony Pike was injured. The junior brings more mobility to the Bearcats’ spread offense than Pike did, but while playing behind an offensive line with two new starters, Collaros was under siege in the opener at Fresno State. After pulling away to rout FCS member Indiana State last week, the Bearcats say they’ve regained their confidence. “The (N.C. State) game will be a real test, an opportunity to see where we’re at,” receiver Armon Binns said. Both teams — and both conferences — could use a strong showing in a matchup of two leagues that have disappointed so far. The Big East got off to a rough start in Week 1, when three of the top four teams in the league’s preseason poll lost their openers, including Cincinnati. A week later, it was the ACC’s turn to struggle with traditional powers Florida State, Miami and Virginia Tech losing with varying degrees of embarrassment. “It’s all about first impressions. Perception is reality,” Jones said. “We just have to take care of business. Our players have played in big games before. When you are playing with a number of newcomers, everything is new to them. Just because our jersey says Cincinnati doesn’t guarantee anything. You get what you earn, you deserve victory.” If anyone in the ACC knows the Big East, it’s O’Brien — who, before coming to N.C. State, spent a decade at Boston College and led the Eagles out of that conference. Cincinnati was one of the teams added to replace them. “They made the most of the opportunity they had when they had the chance to go to the Big East,” O’Brien said.

Not time to panic yet over ACC’s bad start By JIMMY GOLEN AP Sports Writer

BOSTON — Clemson coach Dabo Swinney will know when it’s time to panic about the Atlantic Coast Conference’s poor start. “Commissioner Swofford hasn’t called to make a plea,” Swinney joked this week as he prepared to defend the league’s honor on Saturday against No. 16 Auburn. ACC commissioner John Swofford might not need to pick up the phone yet, but there’s no doubt that the league is off to an awful start — and things could get worse with Duke preparing to take host topranked Alabama. The ACC is 0-5 against the other BCS conferences so far, and that doesn’t even count Virginia Tech’s loss to James Madison of the Football Championship Subdivision that sent the Hokies plummeting from the Top 25. But the coaches and players around the league say they worry less about their national status than the wide-open ACC schedule that looms as their last chance at

Virginia Tech’s Darren Evans rest his head on the bench as the clock runs down in their 21-16 loss to James Madison at Lane Stadium Saturday in Blacksburg, Va. respect. “Conference play is a lot different,” Florida State quarterback Christian Ponder said. “It kind of happens like this every year where guys are struggling in nonconference, but once we get into ACC play everyone’s ready to play. “It’s a tough conference to win, and we know it’s going to be tough going into it. Hopefully we’ll be right in the mix.” With a 2-10 record in BCS bowl games since the system was created in 1998 — the worst among conferences with automatic bids — the ACC

has earned the reputation that it’s not as strong as the Southeastern Conference, the Big Ten or the Big 12. It came into this year with a record five teams in the top 20, but by Week 3 there was just one — No. 17 Miami, which is behind six SEC teams, three from the Big Ten and three from the Big 12. “Things go in cycles. The Pac-10 will win it, then the SEC wins,” Seminoles coach Jimbo Fisher said. “It’s just a cycle right now that the ACC is having a tough time.” Duke coach David Cutcliffe noted that the

bad start could have gone the other way, with a little luck. Two of the losses were to top 3 teams in the country: Miami came up short against Ohio State and Virginia Tech lost a thriller to Boise State. North Carolina was missing 13 key players because of an NCAA investigation and still came within 6 yards of beating Louisiana State. Virginia traveled to the West Coast and lost to Southern Cal by a field goal. “So it’s too early to make any kind of jump on the table either way,” Cutcliffe said. “Let’s let the season play itself out and see what happens. I do know this: We’ve got a lot of really good football players and really good coaches in this league, and there’s a lot of great football left to be played.” The good news for teams like Virginia Tech is that the Hokies’ 0-2 record, while devastating to their prestige and their national title hopes, doesn’t hurt them in the ACC race. Virginia Tech was an overwhelming favorite to win the Coastal Division and play in the ACC championship for a

berth in the Orange Bowl. “These two losses are very detrimental to us,” Virginia Tech center Beau Warren said. But “we can still win the ACC championship, potentially, if we go game-by-game and work our butts off. There’s still something to win. Not everything is lost.” In fact, there has been only one conference game so far — Wake Forest beat Duke — with another this weekend when Georgia Tech plays at North Carolina. “Everybody wants to write the history or deem everything after two weeks in the season. I’d let the thing play out before we decided somebody’s year is over or somebody’s season is done,” Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson said. “By the time the thing plays out we’ll see. I would think the conference is open, but I thought it was open all along. I never thought there was one team was preordained and was going to march through and beat everybody. There still might be someone that does that. But I think it’s still wide open.”

NFL reminds clubs of media policy

BASEBALL

NEW YORK (AP) — The NFL sent a memo Tuesday reminding all 32 teams of its equal access and conduct policy toward the media following a TV Azteca reporter’s comments that the Jets made her uncomfortable in their locker room last weekend. “Women are a common part of the sports media,” the memo said, and included the policy. “By law, women must be granted the same rights to perform their jobs as men. Please remember that women reporters are professionals and should be treated as such. “ NFL spokesman Greg Aiello also sent an email to the Association of Women in Sports Media restating league policy. Reporter Ines Sainz, who works for the Mexican network, said she was uncomfortable Saturday in the Jets’ locker room, where a few players made catcalls as she waited with two male co-workers to interview quarterback Mark Sanchez, who is of Mexican descent. An assistant coach also seemed to deliberately throw footballs to players near where Sainz was standing on the sideline during practice. The NFL also reacted Tuesday when Clinton Portis, the outspoken running back for the Washington Redskins, said in his weekly appearance on a radio: “I think you put women reporters in the locker room in position to see guys walking around naked, and you sit in the locker room with 53 guys, and all of the sudden you see a nice woman in the locker room. I think men are going to tend to turn and look and want to say something to that woman.” Aiello said the comments were “clearly inappropriate, offensive, and have no place in the NFL.”

Young: Didn’t want Bush’s Heisman NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Vince Young says he didn’t want the Heisman Trophy anyway. The Heisman Trust decided Wednesday to vacate the 2005 award after Reggie Bush gave it up Tuesday. The news came shortly after Young talked to reporters, trying to dodge questions about the Heisman because he’s busy preparing for his first career start against Pittsburgh. The man who finished a distant second to Bush in the Heisman voting has been deluged with questions over the past week. Did Young want the Heisman? Would Young accept? Young said in a couple of tweets Tuesday night that he considers Bush the 2005 Heisman winner. He repeated that Wednesday and begged reporters to quit asking about the Heisman. “Why would I want it?” he asked. Young got his say on the field in the BCS national championship about a month after Bush accepted that Heisman in New York, leading Texas to the title by running for 200 yards and throwing for 267 yards. He scored two touchdowns in the final 4:03 and was named the MVP.

Heat taking TRAINING camp on the road MIAMI (AP) — LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and the rest of the Miami Heat are taking training camp to Eglin Air Force Base in Florida’s Panhandle. The Heat announced Wednesday night that they’ll train for six days at the military installation in Fort Walton Beach from Sept. 28 to Oct. 3. Miami has typically held training camp at its home arena. Heat president Pat Riley says the team is “extremely humbled to train in an environment where service, sacrifice and discipline are the norm.”

ed what skating officials described as a “tiny waltz jump.” Still, don’t expect anybody to call Gleason “Twinkletoes” just yet. His skates weren’t more than a few inches off the ice, and he was needled by Ladwig for spinning in the wrong direction during one mini-jump. “I would have to give it deductions for the artistic mark, but in terms of technical ability and lack of experience, I would give him a 6.0 on that,” Ladwig quipped. “I think he was playing up the fact that he was a hockey player. I think he can

skate.” It was a step out of character for Gleason, the most physical member of Carolina’s defensive corps who during a six-year NHL career has logged 385 penalty minutes and more than a few fights. He was on the U.S. hockey team that claimed the silver medal at the Vancouver Olympics. Ladwig and Evora were there, too, finishing 10th in the pairs short program — tops among American teams. On this day, at least, the Hurricanes’ medical staff could breathe easy: Gleason didn’t try any of the more challenging aerials. Instead he joked that “you guys should wear

It was a unique way for Gleason to limber up for the start of training camp later this week. The Hurricanes hit the ice for the first time Saturday, open the exhibition season three nights later and start the regular season Oct. 7 in Finland. “It couldn’t come sooner,” said Gleason, who missed the final 3½ weeks of last season with a broken foot. “You’re almost sick of training.

kind of a collaborative effort of a lot of people, myself included, that’s working with the defensive line.” Defensive tackle Tydreke Powell said the Tar Heels could learn a lot from Coiner, who was let go as the Buffalo Bills’ tight end coach in January. “He’s just coming in, and he’s a great guy,” Powell said. “He learned real fast, and yesterday in practice he was involved. “We’re going to have to help him, and he can definitely help us. Once everything gets in a routine, he’ll be a great help.” Coiner, who is from Waynesboro, Va., earned his bachelors degree

from Catawba College and began his coaching career at Appalachian State, where he was a graduate assistant from 1983-86. During that time, current UNC defensive coordinator Everett Withers was a standout defensive back for the Mountaineers, and UNC defensive backs coach Troy Douglas was a starting wide receiver. Coiner worked at the collegiate level until 2001 when he made the jump to the NFL. From 2001-05, he served as a quality control coach, special teams and offensive assistant for the Chicago Bears, before being hired by the Bills in 2006.

NASCAR

Busch, Hamlin downplay feud By JENNA FRYER AP Auto Racing Writer

NEW YORK — The first sign of a lingering discord between Denny Hamlin and Kyle Busch came after their 1-2 finish at Richmond, when Busch made sure to point out how clean he raced his teammate with the win on the line. A second verbal volley was lobbed during an episode of Busch’s ESPN weeklong reality special, when he made mention of how difficult it is to have a discussion with Hamlin. Fans for sure noticed the back-to-back jabs, and speculation mounted that Joe Gibbs Racing’s two championship contenders were at odds. Turns out, it’s much ado about nothing. “I was just making a point,� Busch said Wednesday during NASCAR’s annual visit to New York to promote the upcoming Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. “There was an opportunity for me to get in there and get dirty, knock him out of the way, but I thought better of it. We all want momentum going into the Chase, not another something to be fighting about.� The relationship between the two JGR stars will be critical to manage over the next 10 weeks. The teams rely on each other for information and advice during at-track debriefs, and Busch’s crew gleaned an important tip from Hamlin’s crew right before Saturday night’s race at Richmond that contributed to the 1-2 finish. Managing and maintaining that information flow will be the best shot either JGR driver has at dethroning four-time defending NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson. But there’s no denying the relationship has had

Then Hamlin fanned the flames a week later in one of the more entertaining press conferences in years. “Each year I think Kyle’s going to grow up and he just doesn’t,� Hamlin said that day. “Until he puts it all together, that’s when he’ll become a champion, and right now he just doesn’t have himself all together.� Gibbs helicoptered into the track to be present for qualifying later that day, and the teammates have been fairly quiet off the track since. During a visit Wednesday to The Associated Press headquarters, Hamlin said there’s no issues between the two. “I think Kyle just has different ways of expressing the way he feels about things,� Hamlin said. “We have personalities that can be difficult to

get through to at times, and a lot of it is just you are afraid to go up to your teammate or another driver and talk about (racing issues). Me and Kyle have never really had that talk, but I feel like except for the All-Star race, our on-track relationship has been good. Never been any altercations, never really raced each other that hard. And I think what he was doing was just trying to prove a point and show that he’s a clean teammate.� Busch and Hamlin have been two of the best drivers all season. Hamlin heads into the Chase opener Sunday at New Hampshire as the top-seed. Busch, a threetime winner this season, is 30 points behind Hamlin. Racing for the win Saturday night at Hamlin’s home track, Busch could have moved his teammate in an effort to win the race and grab the final 10 bonus points. But he stayed in line, settled for second, and

talked about it after the race. Would that change with the championship on the line? “If it does, it’s going to be no-holds barred,� he said. “If it comes down to me having to win the race in order to win the championship or if he wins the race he wins the championship, it’s going to be whatever happens.� In the same breath, though, Busch revealed a clear understanding of the big picture. “If it comes down to where he wins the race and I finish second, it’s going to be an awfully disappointing night for (my) team, but yet a very exciting one for (his).� Both are quick to credit each other for where they are right now, and it will be interesting to see how it plays out over the next 10 weeks. The communication has never been better, and Busch credits Hamlin for helping him improve his short track program.

he had suffered a concussion on the previous drive when his head banged against the turf. Moore, who threw three end zone interceptions and lost a fumble, was helped off the field after Osi Umenyiora sacked him late in the fourth quarter of the New York Giants’ 31-18 win. “I think the hit from behind really triggered something or made me realize something is not right,� Moore said. Then came the nausea followed by an ambulance trip to the hospital for evaluation. But when asked if it would be accurate to describe it as a “mild� concussion, Moore replied that it was “nothing crazy.� Just being allowed on the field proved Moore — and reserve receiver Charly Martin, who also returned to practice after a concussion Sunday — showed progress. Under the NFL’s new, stricter rules regarding concussions, Moore had to pass a series of tests before he could practice. Philadelphia quarterback Kevin Kolb, who also sustained a concussion Sunday, didn’t pass those tests and wasn’t allowed to practice on Wednesday. “Concussions are not created equal,� said Dr. Thom Mayer, medical director for the NFL Players Association. “A player has to have a normal neurological exam at rest and after exercise. He has to have normal neuropsychological testing. He has to be cleared by both the team’s physician and the independent neurological consultant. Only after all those things can the player go back and play.� Mayer added he

expects the Panthers to “monitor him very carefully� and do neuropsychological testing again later this week. If Moore has any setbacks, Clausen would take over. He threw two incomplete passes in relief of Moore in his NFL debut Sunday. “I think I’m ready to go if my name gets called,� Clausen said. “And I have to be ready to go, no questions asked.� Moore apparently did OK in practice on Wednesday. Fox said he “looked just like normal Matt,� and running back DeAngelo Williams called him “a warrior.� But that warrior mentality is why the NFL is more cautious with concussions, which occur when a blow to the head causes the brain to shake inside the skull. There have been concerns about long-term affects such as memory loss, depression and dementia for players who suffer multiple concussions. Moore said he had a concussion once before in his junior year of high school. “Medical staff, coaches and the media are more educated and receptive to the detection, evaluation and treatment of concussions,� said Dr. Adam Shunk, a neuropsychologist at St. Vincent Sports Performance Center in Indianapolis. “Previously these athletes may have not received treatment and might have unsafely returned to play before they were ready.� If Moore is cleared, he will start, Fox repeated on Wednesday. Fox isn’t ready to turn to Clausen, the former Notre Dame standout, even after Moore made several poor decisions and posted just a 32.6 passer rating against the Giants.

A seething hiss or a peaceful purr tells us when our cats are mad or happy. But just what are our enigmatic felines thinking, and why do they do the things they do? One way to gain answers into their world, is to pay attention to their body language, habits and behavior. Some cats think that “night time is the right time� for fun and games. In the wild, cats are the most energetic during twilight hours, prime time to hunt for small birds and rodents. To conserve energy, they sleep 12 to 16 hours during the day, taking numerous “cat naps.� To keep your pet sleeping through the night, give your cat stimulation during daytime hours, especially an hour or two before bedtime. Play, such as chasing a toy mouse on a string, helps to tire your cat and alter his natural sleep cycle. Anyone with a cat knows that felines have the natural instinct to dig and bury their urine and feces. A 2007 study published in Science affirms that house cats are descended from a group of self-domesticating desert wildcats (Felis silvestris lybica). It’s no surprise that our cats prefer to bury their feces in sandy places. So if your cat avoids the litter box, switch to a litter that is softer and resembles sand, yet contains no chemicals or fragrances, such as Feline Pine Scoop. Also, keep the litter box clean and in a quiet place where your cat feels safe. To learn more about litter box training, visit www.healthylitter.org. If your cat is fond of high places, that, too, is natural. In the wild, height gives cats an observation point and sense of security, allowing them to hunt their prey out of site and away from predators. Cat towers and window seats help housecats satisfy this yearning for height. Dogs wag their tails when their excited, but do you ever wonder why cats swish their tales? One, to entrance and distract prey, and two, to balance before leaping. A gentle wagging of the tail can mean that your cat is in deep concentration and vigorous thrashing can communicate anger or annoyance.

PhotograPhy

Photography is the art of capturing images with a camera, or a device which is sensitive to light. A camera is a light-proof box or chamber in which only a fractional amount of light is allowed in, and a lens which projects an image. When the image is projected onto the light-sensitive surface, an impression of the image is permanently made. Traditional cameras use film as the light sensitive material. Images are created on what we call negatives; they are called negatives because light objects appear dark and dark objects appear to be light. These negatives must be processed in a dark room to reverse the image and show the proper representation that the photographer was trying to capture. Many professional photographers still use the traditional medium of film, but most people today now use digital cameras. A digital camera works in much the same way, yet the image is available to us immediately without the need to process negatives. Digital cameras still use light to capture images. Sensors in the camera record the amount of light around objects through different types of filters and records them instantly in the camera’s internal memory or onto a disk. The word photography comes from two Greek words which mean “drawing with light.â€? The oldest known surviving photograph was taken in 1825 by Frenchman Joseph NicĂŠphore NiĂŠpce. Another photo taken by the inventor was taken in 1827; the image took eight hours to be recorded onto the exposure. Better techniques were invented in the 1830’s by Louis-Jacques-MandĂŠ Daguerre. Known in most circles as the father of modern photography, Daguerre took the first daguerreotype photograph in 1839. This is considered to be the first “realâ€? photograph and is still in existence today. In 1884, an inventor named George Eastman created the technology that is used with modern film cameras. In 1969, two inventors from the labs of AT &T Bell created the charged-coupled device, which is the centerpiece of digital photography. The creators, Willard Boyle and George E. Smith, won the Nobel Peace Prize for their contributions to photography.

create your oWn “light� draWing! A camera is not the only way to make images with light. Follow the directions below to create an image out of sunlight and paper. You will need: dark colored paper, tape, a dry area with sunlight, objects to place onto the paper, such as leaves or solid items. Step One: Decide how to arrange the items on the paper and then tape them down with rolls of tape. Be sure to use tape that is easily removed once the picture is ready. Make sure that the edges of the items are taped down to ensure that no light can be seen under the objects. Step Two: Place the paper in direct sunlight for around 8 hours. Step Three: After 8 hours, you want to lift up the edges of the objects. If they appear darker than the now-faded paper, your picture is ready. If you cannot see the outline of the objects on the paper, place it in the sun for another 8 hours. When done, you will be able to see your objects clearly.

Mother-in-law with keys makes herself at home DEAR ABBY: My husband, son and I live next door to my inlaws. My mother-in-law, “Hazel,” has a set of keys to our house for emergency purposes. For some time she has been using the key to come and go as she pleases, “borrowing” food, dishes and toiletries when we’re not home. When we discover the items missing, she usually confesses. I am really irritated about it and have frequent fights with my husband over this and other privacy issues. How can I talk to Hazel in a way that won’t hurt her feelings? She is very sensitive, and I don’t know how to confront her since my husband refuses to do so. — MISSING MY PRIVACY IN SAN JOSE, CALIF.

Discuss, formulate and plan effectively and efficiently and you will control the situations you encounter and be the engine behind any advancements made. Your numbers are 6, 14, 18, 28, 32, 36, 40 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your willingness to work behind the scenes taking care of details will pay off. You will excel and impress someone who can help you get ahead at a later date. Initiate a positive mindset and make some overdue changes. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Nothing will stand in your way as long as you do not mix business with pleasure. Keep a friendly distance from your colleagues and you will be able to pursue your dreams, hopes and wishes. Travel, meetings and conventions will all lead to your success. GEMINI (May 21June 20): Don’t initiate change but be willing to accept the inevitable. Compromise will be necessary and, if given without hesitation, will bring about unexpected perks. By allowing others freedom, you will set the stage for the same set of rules in return. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Love is on the rise and getting involved in activities that enhance your current relationship or promote meeting someone (if you are single), should be attended. Don’t let someone force you to take on responsibilities that don’t belong to you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Time spent on professional or educational gains will be advantageous. Taking charge of a group or project that interests you will allow you to show your leadership ability. Be careful not to neglect your personal responsibilities.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): There is interest gathering with options and profits to be made. Your clear-cut and precise presentation, along with your belief in your ability, will be all it will take to reach a long-time goal. A celebratory outing should be planned with someone you love. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t believe what’s being said or offered. You have to look past the obvious in order to see what is required of you and how you can control the situation so that you aren’t left in a vulnerable position. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Your creative ability is on the rise and your intuition will not lead you astray. Put a plan for your future in motion.

DEAR MISSING: Try this: Take your mother-in-law to lunch and over a nice, leisurely meal say (SLOWLY AND QUIETLY), “Hazel, honey, I have a problem I need your help with. (Breathe.) When you come into the house and take things without asking, it makes me feel violated. (Pause.) Do you think you could please refrain from doing that anymore? (Smile.)

We plan to serve beer, wine and champagne for the toast. Because I will be wearing an ivory gown, I am opting to drink only champagne. I have a favorite brand, but because of our modest budget, Dad cannot provide it for everyone to drink. I was going to buy a couple of bottles to have at our table for my wedding party, but Dad feels it would be in poor taste and thinks our guests may feel slighted in some way. My feeling is that it’s our special day and people will understand. Am I wrong for wanting a nicer champagne than we can provide for our guests? — BUBBLY BRIDE IN PISMO BEACH, CALIF. DEAR BUBBLY: Let me put it this way — if there is a chance that your guests would feel slighted if you get caught, then drink what they’re drinking at the reception. Afterward, have a bottle of your

DEAR ABBY: I’m a high school freshman with a dilemma. I’m a good student and get A’s in all my classes. I’m also an athlete. I play year-round softball and have started playing soccer for the high school team. My problem is I took a debate class over the summer and really liked it. I want to join the debate team, but I am unsure if it would be piling too much on my plate for my first year. I’ll be carrying one honors class in addition to two above-gradelevel classes. Debate practices are held after sports practices two days a week for one to two hours, so they wouldn’t directly conflict with anything except homework time. Do you think I’m overestimating how much I can handle in extracurricular activities this year? — TOO AMBITIOUS?

That’s why before making up your mind you should discuss this with your parents as well as your guidance counselor at school.

Oregon rescuers dig camel ‘Moses’ out of sinkhole

Cops: SC robber says ‘thank you,’ gets no money

OREGON CITY, Ore. (AP) — It was an unusual call for Oregon firefighters: A 1,500-pound camel, named Moses, needed to be rescued. The call came in Tuesday night in Clackamas County after the Oregon City owners of the camel called firefighters to say that Moses had fallen into a sinkhole 6 to 8 feet deep and was possibly injured. The owners — who have several camels and run a children’s ministry — had tried to get the camel out themselves but failed. Firefighters had to carefully shovel mud for several hours to free the animal. The rescuers were concerned Moses would break his legs if he’d try to free himself while still partially buried. But Moses was patient, and eventually firefighters got him out. Moses lay on his side for an hour resting after the rescue. A veterinarian said the animal looked unhurt.

NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — Authorities said a would-be South Carolina bank robber left with a polite “thank you” after a teller told him she didn’t have any money in her cash drawer. North Charleston police told multiple media outlets that 31-year-old Melvin Jesse Blain walked into a Wachovia branch Tuesday afternoon with a note saying he was robbing the bank and asking for $30,000. Investigators said the teller told Blain she had no money and he walked out empty-handed, saying “thank you.” Not long after, officers stopped Blain walking near the bank. Police said he told them he just finished a nearly four-year prison sentence for bank robbery and didn’t want to go back. Blain was charged with entering a bank with the intent to steal. It wasn’t immediately clear if he had an attorney.

Police: Man crashes, tries to tow cars while drunk BLAINE, Wash. (AP) — A 54-year-old Washington state man has been arrested after police say he crashed two cars while intoxicated, then got in his tow truck and tried to move the vehicles. The Bellingham Herald reports that Tommy Ryser was arrested and booked in jail on three counts of driving under the influence Monday. The Whatcom County Sheriff’s office says Ryser crashed his truck into a utility pole Monday night, abandoned that vehicle and got in his wife’s Volkswagen but crashed that car into a guardrail. He then got his privately owned tow truck and attempted to tow the vehicles, even with a bloodied forehead.

Students’ message in bottle ends up in the Azores CASTINE, Maine (AP) — Three Maine students who launched a message in a bottle in 2008 hoped it would make it all the way to Europe. It didn’t make it to the mainland, but it made it as far as the Azores, a Portuguese archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean. The Bangor Daily News reported seventhgrader Dustin Colson and sixth-graders Liam Griffith and Hannah Flood had all but forgotten about the bottle until it was discovered this summer. Flood’s dad and her uncle agreed to drop bottles into the water off the Bahamas in March 2008 while setting weather buoys. Cheryl McFadden at the Adams School in Castine said the idea was to see if the Gulf Stream would take the bottles to Europe.

Cousin needs compassion, tough love Q: How do you know if you’re actually helping someone or if they’re just taking advantage of you? My cousin is an alcoholic, and last year she moved in with us after her family threw her out. But nothing has changed and I’m not sure we’re doing her any good. -- Mrs. J. McD. A: To be honest, it may not be clear at the time if we’re actually helping someone or if they’re just taking advantage of us. Not everyone wants to change; some people only want to stay the way they are. But what is clear is that they have a need, and God has put them across our path to do what we can to help them. Jesus once healed 10 lepers but only one came back to thank Him; the others were simply taking advantage of Him (see Luke 17:11-18). But did that mean Jesus shouldn’t have bothered with them? No, of course not; one man was changed, both in body and in soul. At the same time, your cousin is on a dead-end road, and simply providing her with food and shelter isn’t solving her problem. She needs help, and you are in the best position to get her to it; she won’t find it on her own. Ask your pastor, doctor, or other knowledgeable person what resources are available in your community to help her - and then give her a deadline to get connected to them. You’ve probably heard the expression “tough love,” and the time has come for you to practice it -- both for her sake and yours. Most of all, pray for her, and ask God to help you point her to Christ. The Bible’s words are true: “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble” (Psalm 46:1).
