Bowles: Future of N .C .is linked to education

By WILLIAm F. WESTdaily diSPatcH writer

OXFORD — UNC System

President Erskine Bowles on Wednesday said the bottom line is the state must prepare students for a knowledge-based worldwide economy.

“Our competitors are not just in Virginia or South Carolina

or Georgia. Our competitors are global,” Bowles told the Granville County Chamber of Commerce’s annual pre-Thanksgiving break-fast at Oxford Baptist Church.

And Bowles said, “The future of North Carolina is actually linked to the education of our people.”

And Bowles pledged that the UNC System will deliver and ad-ditionally will help the state come out of “this great recession” and into a stronger position.

Bowles, who holds a master of business administration from Columbia University and whose career has included working in

the corporate world, spoke about the present tough economic conditions and seeing closed retail shops, distribution centers and manufacturing plants.

Bowles said the UNC System has not been immune to the pain, noting the elimination of more than 900 jobs. “We cut our budget this year by $294 million. That’s on top of $170 million last year and $50 million the year before that,” Bowles said.

It’s Soooo-ul Delicious

By NATASHA T. mETZLEraSSOciated PreSS writer

WASHINGTON — After 10 months in office, President Barack Obama on Wednesday granted his first pardon — to Courage, a 45-pound turkey spared from the Thanksgiving table.

Accompanied by daughters Sasha and Malia, Obama stood under the North Portico of the White House to honor a holiday tradition that dates to 1947 — receiving a bird from the National Turkey Federation. Later in the day, Obama and his family passed out turkeys and fixings to the needy.

“I’m told Presidents Eisen-hower and Johnson actually ate their turkeys,” Obama said. “You can’t fault them for that; that’s a good-looking bird.”

President George H.W. Bush was the first to officially pardon a turkey.

Obama joked about wanting to forgo the tradition and eat Cour-

age.“Thanks to the interventions

of Malia and Sasha — because I was planning to eat this sucker

— Courage will also be spared this terrible and delicious fate,”

Obama pardons a turkey named ‘Courage’

OXFORD — The Oxford Park residential area suffered a power blackout at approximately 7:25 p.m. Wednesday after the electrical supply had been weak for several minutes.

A person answering the customer service line for the Wake Electric co-

operative, when contacted approxi-mately 8:30 p.m., said power had been restored for approximately 20-30 minutes, with the outage having been caused by a dump truck driver having backed into a power pole.

The residential area is a satellite annexation off Horner Siding Road northeast of Oxford proper.

There has been continuing con-

cern in the residential area because a woman who lives along Kipling Drive on the evening of Nov. 18 was accosted by a man and robbed of her purse after she parked her car in the driveway and began unload-ing it.

Southern Elementary School? Or maybe Charlotte Hawkins Brown Elementary?

Those two names are among 16 that have been suggested for the new elementary school under construction across from Southern Vance High.

Clark Street Elementary School students, anxiously awaiting the opening of their new school in the fall of 2010, may find themselves going to Clark-Garrett Elemen-tary School, a combination of the names of the locations of the cur-rent school in East Henderson and the new school location on Garrett Road.

Or they could be in a school named for one of several well-known individuals — some alive, some deceased — such as Marga-ret Ellis Elementary, named for the vice chairman of the Vance County Board of Education and a long-time advocate for Clark Street school; Dr. James P. Green Elementary, named for the late physician who was a local civil rights advocate and a member of the N.C. House of Representa-tives; and Dr. Malone Parham El-ementary, another local physician now deceased.

These 16 suggested names will be open for public comment dur-ing a public hearing that has been scheduled for 7 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 3, in the auditorium at E.M. Rollins Elementary School. The public is invited to attend the hearing and offer its input into the naming of the new school in the southern part of Vance

NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks climbed Wednesday following a drop in weekly unemployment claims to the lowest level of the year and a rise in new home sales.

The market’s gains were modest on light trad-ing volume ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday.

The government said new claims for unem-ployment insurance fell by 35,000 last week to 466,000.

That’s the fewest claims since September last year, and better than the 500,000 that economists had expected.

The drop in claims suggests the job market is healing, but concern remains that the improve-ment will be temporary as the weak economy contin-ues to push unemployment higher.

The jobless rate hit 10.2 percent in October and many analysts believe it will keep rising before starting to improve next summer.

In other economic re-ports, new home sales rose 6.2 percent to an annual rate of 430,000. That’s above what economists surveyed by Thomson Reuters had expected.

Separately, the gov-ernment also reported consumer spending rose a brisk 0.7 percent last month, following a 0.6 per-cent drop in September. It was the best showing since August, when the govern-ment’s now-defunct Cash for Clunkers programs enticed people to buy cars.

Not all the day’s news was upbeat. Orders for expensive manufactured goods dropped 0.6 percent last month, the first drop since August. Economists had expected orders would grow.

Doug Roberts, chief investment strategist at Channel Capital Research in Shrewsbury, N.J., said investors are still worried about the sustainability of a recovery but are afraid of missing more of the mar-ket’s eight-month rally.

“People may not believe in this market but they’re reluctantly being pulled into it with each of these reports,” he said.

According to prelimi-nary calculations, the Dow Jones industrial average rose 30.69, or 0.3 percent, to 10,464.40.

The broader Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 4.98, or 0.5 percent, to 1,110.63, and the Nasdaq compos-ite index rose 6.87, or 0.3

percent, to 2,176.05.U.S. markets are closed

for Thanksgiving and fin-ishing early on Friday.

The dollar fell against most other major curren-cies, while gold rose to another record.

A weakening dollar has bolstered commodities and stocks of energy and ma-terials companies, helping pump up their stocks in the market’s eight-month rally.

Head of Muslim group criticizes Texas shooter

RALEIGH (AP) — A North Carolina politician who heads a national Muslim civil rights group has condemned the Army psychiatrist charged in a deadly shooting rampage at Fort Hood.

The Fayetteville Ob-server reported Wednes-day that state Sen. Larry Shaw said violent acts blamed on Muslims tar-nish the image of Islam.

Army psychiatrist Maj. Nidal Hasan is charged with killing 13 people at the Texas post.

Hasan is a Muslim who reportedly opposed the U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Shaw has been chair-man of the Council on American-Islamic Rela-tions since March. The Fayetteville Democrat compared Islamic fanat-ics with the Ku Klux Klan and Nazis as falsely claim-ing to represent majority views.

Shaw says Muslims who support killing innocent people don’t represent true Islam.

Man can’t affordhot dog, ramscar into stand

CARY (AP) — Police say a North Carolina man rammed his car into a hot dog stand when the vendor refused to sell him a hot dog and drink for a dollar.

WRAL-TV reports 23-year-old David Kel-baugh of Rolesville was charged Wednesday with assault with a deadly weapon, hit-and-run, driv-ing while intoxicated and injury to property. Police say Kelbaugh was drink-ing at a bar in Cary early Wednesday when he left to order food at the hot dog stand.

Kelbaugh asked for a hot dog and a drink for one dollar and the vendor told him that wasn’t enough money.

Police say Kelbaugh yelled at the vendor, got in his car and rammed the hot dog stand twice. The vendor was treated for back injuries. His name was not released.

Kelbaugh fled and was later arrested. He’s been released on $6,000 bond. A phone number for Kel-baugh was disconnected.

Daughter of slain N.C. Hell’s Angels member arrested

WINSTON-SALEM (AP) — North Carolina police have arrested the daughter of a slain local leader of the Hell’s Angels Motorcycle Club and three men on drug and weapons charges.

The Winston-Salem Journal reported Wednes-day that 25-year-old Eliza-beth Sluder and the three men were described by the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Of-fice as either Hell’s Angels members or associates.

Sluder’s 48-year-old father, Dwight Sluder, was shot to death in July in his house in northern Forsyth County.

Investigators say the killer could have been a business acquaintance or a rival gang member.

The four were arrested Monday after state and federal officers probing the motorcycle gang said they found evidence of illegal guns and narcotics, counter-feiting, and larcenies.

FAYETTEVILLE (AP) — A task force of about 20 people is working on investi-gating the rape and slaying of a 5-year-old girl, said the police chief whose depart-ment is leading the probe.

The Fayetteville police department continues to receive tips about the death of Shaniya Davis two weeks ago, The Fayetteville Ob-server reported Wednesday.

There are a plethora of leads that we’re following up on,” Chief Tom Bergamine said. “It’s very important as we prepare the case for the district attorney’s office that we cover everything that’s

possible.”The girl was reported

missing by her mother on Nov. 10. Police said she was killed the same day.

Her mother, Antoinette Davis, 25, is charged with filing a false police report, trafficking her daughter and child abuse involving prostitution.

Mario McNeill, 29, an acquaintance of Davis, is charged with murder, rape and kidnapping.

Shaniya had gone to live with her mother just weeks earlier after spending most of her life being raised by her father, Bradley Lock-

hart, and her aunt, Carey Lockhart-Davis.

Bergamine said it was still unclear to investigators why Shaniya was pulled out of school in October. Shaniya had been enrolled at Morgan-ton Road Elementary School near the home of Lockhart-Davis.

McNeill was transferred last week from the Cum-berland County Detention Center to a safekeeping unit at Central Prison in Raleigh until a court date Dec. 9. Antoinette Davis was moved Tuesday to a state women’s prison in Raleigh. She is pregnant.

8 plead guilty to sending illegal money to Mideast

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Eight men have pleaded guilty to federal charges for selling stolen goods at five St. Louis area conve-nience stores and funnel-ing part of their profits to the Palestinian territories.

Acting U.S. Attorney Michael Reap says the men bought stolen goods at low prices and then sold them for a large profit. He would not say how much money they made and how much was sent to Palestin-ian groups.

Reap’s spokeswoman said Wednesday there was no evidence the money supported terrorist activi-ties.

Attorneys for some of the men say they were simply sending money to relatives for medical care.

Three pleaded guilty Tuesday to conspiracy to structure the exportation of monetary instruments to avoid reporting require-ments. Five others pleaded guilty to racketeering.

Truck carryingimmigrants fallsoff Texas cliff

McALLEN, Texas (AP) — Authorities say a truck carrying illegal immigrants from Gua-temala and Mexico has plummeted more than 40 feet off a cliff in southwest Texas. All 18 aboard were injured.

The pickup truck went off the road near Alice on Tuesday afternoon and fell into a gravel pit. Alice is about 40 miles west of Corpus Christi.

Eleven people remain hospitalized Wednesday. The others injured have been treated and released to Border Patrol custody.

Immigration and Cus-toms Enforcement spokes-woman Leticia Zamarripa says the driver has been charged with illegal immi-grant smuggling involving death or serious injury. She did not know whether the driver, Patricio Rebol-lar, was among those still hospitalized.

The Texas Department of Public Safety is investi-gating the accident.

Three mothers ofAmericans heldin Iran send video

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The mothers of three Americans held captive in Iran have recorded video messages they hope Iranian authorities will deliver to their children.

From their homes in Minnesota, California and Pennsylvania, the moth-ers of Shane Bauer, Nora Shourd and Josh Fattal ask their kids to stay posi-tive and express hope that Iranian authorities will take mercy on them.

The three were detained in July after straying across the Iranian border from Iraq. Their families say they were hiking, but an Iranian prosecutor recently accused them of espionage.

The families sent copies of the video to the Iranian ambassador to the U.N. and to Iranian authorities asking they be given to their children. The video was posted on the families’ Web site on Wednesday.

UCLA mascot gets USC paint jobahead of big game

LOS ANGELES (AP) — UCLA’s bruin mascot has gotten a messy paint job — in the colors of cross-town rival USC.

UCLA spokesman Phil Hampton says the statue in Bruin Square was splashed with red and gold paint sometime be-tween Tuesday night and Wednesday morning.

Vandals cut through a protective tarp to van-dalize the statue in the middle of the west Los An-geles campus days before Saturday’s Bruins-Trojans game.

No arrests were made but campus police are investigating.

Meanwhile, USC stu-dents in shifts are guard-ing their Tommy Trojan statue, which also is under wraps.

Palin to run Red Cross Turkey Trotin Washington

RICHLAND, Wash. (AP) — Sarah Palin is taking a Thanksgiving break from her book tour to spend time with family members in Washington for a 5K run to benefit the Red Cross.

Palin detailed her plans Wednesday on Twitter.

Heather Filbin with the Benton-Franklin Chap-ter of the American Red Cross said about 25 Palin relatives had registered for the annual Turkey Trot at Kennewick’s Columbia Park.

Palin plans to have dinner at the home of her aunt Katie Johnson.

She intends to resume her book tour Sunday, signing copies of “Going Rogue” at a book store in Richland.

Paralyzed Ind. man confined to bedas men rob home

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — Police say a para-lyzed Indiana man was unable to leave his bed as his house was being robbed after burglars put a T-shirt over his face.

Authorities say two men entered the home near South Bend on Sunday by breaking a rear window. Police say after the rob-bers covered the hom-eowner’s face, they took his laptop and a $100 bill sitting on a dresser.

Police say the victim was unable to call for help or close the broken win-dow. Redman says a friend who stops by regularly to check on the victim called police.

South Bend police spokesman Sgt. Bill Red-man said Wednesday that no arrests have been made and investigators have no leads.

Redman wasn’t sure if the man, whose name hasn’t been released, was targeted because he is paralyzed.

he said.In response to Obama’s

comments that his daugh-ters helped to save the turkey’s life, the animal rights group PETA said it is giving Malia and Sasha honorary memberships in PETA Kids.

“We want to thank them for their involvement in pardoning the turkey this Thanksgiving,” said PETA spokeswoman Ashley Byrne.

Obama wished all American service mem-bers at home and abroad a happy Thanksgiving, saying what a “tremen-dous honor it is to serve as commander in chief of the finest military in the world.”

He also spoke about the first family’s plans for the holiday dinner.

“Just like millions of other families across America, we’ll take time to give our thanks for many blessings,” Obama said. “We’ll also remember this is a time when so many

members of our American family are hurting.”

Obama noted that President Abraham Lin-coln made Thanksgiving a holiday in the midst of the Civil War, “when the future of our very union was most in doubt.”

“This is an era of new perils and new hardships,” he added. “So on this quintessentially American holiday, as we give thanks for what we’ve got, let’s also give back to those who are less fortunate.”

After his remarks, the turkey was lifted to a table and Obama raised his hand over its head to deliver a mock-serious pardon.

“You are hereby par-doned,” he said.

Obama said Courage will spend the rest of his life in “peace and tranquil-ity” at Disneyland.

Byrne said PETA sent Obama a letter requesting that the turkey be sent to a sanctuary instead of the theme park.

Later on Wednesday, Obama and his family passed out frozen birds at Martha’s Table, an organization that feeds the hungry and provides other community services. The Obamas stood behind tables and passed out turkeys, stuffing and other Thanksgiving favorites to people passing through in a line.

The president tucked pumpkin pies into people’s bags and wished them a happy holiday. Sasha and Malia Obama, the first lady and her mother, Marian Robinson, worked along-side the president, putting canned food, stuffing and fresh vegetables into bags. Those in line also received frozen turkeys.

The National Cathedral School, volunteers and others in the community donated food. White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said community ser-vice around Thanksgiving time is an Obama family tradition.

RALEIGH (AP) — Gov. Beverly Perdue has re-quested federal assistance for homeowners and businesses affected by a nor’eastern that lashed the North Carolina coast.

Perdue is seeking fund-ing for Dare County, where there was major damage. If approved, the declaration will

make low-interest loans avail-able to help eligible property owners make repairs. Also eligible will be Currituck, Hyde and Tyrrell counties.

Between Nov. 10-15, a nor’easter spawned from the remnants of Tropical Storm Ida swept through across coastal North Carolina. The most severe damage

was found in Dare County, where a survey found several homes and business having sustained major damage.

An SBA disaster declara-tion would enable eligible citi-zens to apply for low interest home and personal property loans to pay for repairs and loss of inventory or other busi-ness capital.

RALEIGH (AP) — The North Carolina Republican Party has hired a former party hand in the state as its new executive director.

GOP Chairman Tom Fetzer told party leaders Wednesday that Russell Peck will begin his new job next week after being offered the post Tuesday by the party’s central committee.

Peck worked most recently on get-out-the-vote efforts and coordinated campaigning for Republican candidates in New Jersey, where Chris Christie defeated incumbent Democrat Jon Corzine earlier this month.

He held a similar position as executive director of the “North Carolina Victory” operation last year. A party spokesman

couldn’t immediately confirm Peck’s salary. The party had budgeted $75,000 for the executive director’s position.

This is a May 14, 2008, file photo of Yves Rossy as he is seen flying over the Alps in Bex, Switzerland. Rossy went down in the Atlantic Ocean Wednesday while trying to fly from Mo-rocco to Spain on jet-powered wings.

By DANIEL WOOLLSassociaTeD press WriTer

ATLANTERRA, Spain — A Swiss adventurer try-ing to soar from Morocco to Spain on jet-powered wings ditched safely into the Atlantic on Wednesday after hitting turbulence and clouds so thick he could not tell if he was fly-ing up or down.

The bad weather — rather than a mechanical malfunction, as reported earlier by the project’s sponsors — thwarted Yves Rossy’s bid to become the first person to achieve such an intercontinental crossing.

Rossy waved from the cold blue sea while await-ing rescue, his red wing and striped parachute floating beside him. In time, a rescuer helicopter winched him from the wind-swept waters to safety.

“I am still here — a little bit wet but I am still here,” told a news confer-ence after undergoing

a medical checkup, still wearing his red and white flying suit. “I did my best,” he said.

Rossy, a 50-year-old former fighter pilot, took off from Tangiers but a few minutes into what was supposed to be a 15-min-ute flight he vanished from TV screens providing live footage from planes and choppers accompanying him. For a good 10 min-utes, no one knew where he was.

Rossy said that about three or four minutes into the flight he hit turbulence and entered clouds that he described as beautiful but disorienting because he could not see and had no reference points.

He tried to climb over the cloud cover “but before the blue came again” his flying became unstable. Eventually he found him-self wobbling and dropping at up to 300 kilometers per hour until he was just 850 meters above the water. At that rate he would have hit it in about 20 seconds.

“So the sea comes very fast,” he said. “Unstable, at this height, there is no playing anymore. So I throw away my wing and opened my parachute.”

Rossy said he was disap-pointed but will keep doing this kind of flight — he did the English Channel last year — and plans to take on the Grand Canyon next spring with an upgraded wing he is now completing.

Things started off fine. As planned, Rossy stood on the ledge of an open door on the small plane that took him into the air, and jumped, deploying the wing and plummeting about 500 meters until he upped his thrust and gained flight at a cruis-ing speed of 130 miles per hour at an altitude of 6,500 feet.

The wing has no steer-ing mechanism. Rossy guides it by shifting his weight.

He flew across the Eng-lish Channel in Septem-ber last year, going from Calais, France, to Dover,

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — Officials say flooding from heavy rains has killed 12 people in three South American na-tions and forced more than 20,000 to flee their homes.

Most of the dead are in

southern Brazil — includ-ing eight in Rio Grande do Sul, according to the state’s Civil Defense Department.

Sustained stormy weather has saturated the region and caused the river between Uruguay and

Argentina to overflow its banks.

Government agencies report that 10,000 people have been evacuated in Brazil, along with 8,000 in northeastern Argentina and 4,000 in Uruguay.

VIENNA — The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency urged Iran on Wednesday to endorse a plan that would strip it of most of its enriched ura-nium, saying Tehran could not defuse fears about its nuclear program with pro-posals that included keeping the material.

IAEA chief Mohamed ElBaradei’s comments were his firmest public rejection to date of Iranian attempts to modify a proposal that would involve shipping out around 70 percent of its enriched stockpile and re-turning it in the form of fuel rods for its Tehran research reactor.

While Iran has offered several counterproposals — buying the rods from abroad or exchanging its enriched uranium in small batches — all have in common Tehran’s rejection of exporting most of its enriched uranium.

Iran now has enough enriched uranium for up to two nuclear weapons. If stripped of 70 percent of that material, its ability to make such arms would be delayed for at least a year.

Tehran insists it wants to enrich only to power an envisaged nuclear reactor network.

But fears that it could in-stead turn to making fissile highly enriched uranium

for warheads have resulted in U.N. Security Council demands that it freeze en-richment — and three sets of U.N. sanctions, shrugged off by Tehran.

His comments dovetailed with the view of six powers endorsing the plan — the U.S., Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany.

Those same nations planned to mount a new challenge to Tehran this week in the form of a resolu-tion to a 35-nation IAEA board meeting criticizing it for ignoring U.N. Security Council and IAEA board demands and continuing to build its enrichment pro-gram — sometimes clandes-tinely.

Impatience with Iran has been fueled by Tehran’s September revelation that it had secretly been building a new enrichment facility. In a possible pre-emptive move, Iran notified the IAEA in a confidential letter only days before the leaders of the U.S. Britain and France went public with the clandestine project.

Iran says it did not violate IAEA statues by waiting with its notification. But ElBaradei has said Tehran was “outside the law” in not telling his agency about the facility much earlier. On Wednesday, he said that Iran’s secrecy on the facility reduced “overall confidence” that Tehran is telling the truth when it asserts it is not

interested in nuclear arms.A perusal of IAEA records

shows that Tehran’s chief envoy to the IAEA, Ali Asghar Soltanieh, told the agency’s board last year that his country “has repeatedly declared that there is no undeclared nuclear material and activity in Iran” — at the time when construction of the secret nuclear facility was in full force.

A copy of the six-power resolution prepared for the closed meeting and obtained by The Associated Press noted that Iran’s delay in reporting the new facility “does not contribute to the building of confidence” in Tehran’s nuclear aims.

The facility “gives rise to questions about whether there are any other nuclear facilities under construction in Iran which have not been declared to the agency,” the document says.

The resolution is signifi-cant because it groups Rus-sia and China with the four Western powers in unified criticism of Iran’s nuclear program. Russia and China have acted as a drag on Western calls for tougher action against Iran.

While the board passed an IAEA resolution critical of Iran in 2006 with the sup-port of all six world powers, subsequent attempts by the West to get backing from all 35 board nations foundered on resistance from Russia and China.

KABUL (AP) — Af-ghanistan is hiking police salaries by between 33 and 67 percent, the Interior Ministry said Wednesday, to curb rampant corruption and boost recruitment in a force that suffers much higher casualty rates than the insurgency-wracked country’s army.

Police are seen as crucial to improving security and eventually allowing foreign troops to go home. But many police complain they are un-derpaid and under-equipped. President Hamid Karzai has said he wants Afghan forces to take the lead in securing the nation within five years.

Interior Minister Mo-hammad Hanif Atmar said salaries will increase from

$180 to $240 for police in high-threat provinces — a 33 percent rise. In lower risk areas, they will increase to $200 from the current $120 — a 67 percent rise.

The 93,000-strong police force, along with the judi-ciary, are widely considered among the most corrupt institutions in Afghanistan,

with low salaries contribut-ing to the problem.

Atmar said the United States will pay the $70 million that the first year’s increases will cost. The fol-lowing year, 14 other donor countries will cover the cost, he said. He did not specify which countries were contrib-uting.

cellors for bloated administra-tive costs and told them to make reductions.

The matter of managerial expenses came to the forefront after a 100-page report and coverage by news media in Ra-leigh. The document showed UNC-Chapel Hill’s administra-tive expenses per student had grown faster than academic expenses, with the Chapel Hill campus having 10 layers of management and with more than half the supervisors over-seeing three or fewer people.

Bowles on Wednesday said the financial decisions hurt because these were not cuts, but colleagues, friends and neighbors. “And many of them still don’t have jobs today,” Bowles said.

The one positive, Bowles said, was the UNC System had a roadmap to provide direction.

“We were able to make smart cuts. We cut our admin-istrative costs by 24 percent, while holding our academic cuts to less than 5 percent,” Bowles said.

Permanent administra-tive costs were reduced by 18 percent, while permanent academic costs were reduced by less than one percent, Bowles said.

Bowles said he believes the UNC System protected the academic core, the ability to manage the universities and the ability to execute a system-wide action plan.

The plan calls for the UNC System doing its part to improve kindergarten through high school education.

“If we don’t improve K-12, there will be no sustainable economic growth in North Carolina,” Bowles said, to ap-plause from the audience.

The problem is everybody talks about improvements yet blames somebody else, Bowles said.

The UNC System has to ad-mit being part of the problem in addition to being part of the solution because the system trains most of the principals and produces most of the teachers, Bowles said.

And Bowles said a report will be presented to the legisla-ture in a couple of weeks based on a study.

The purpose of the study was to determine which of the best teachers are coming out of what North Carolina colleges and universities, whether one is better to invest in private or public institutions or an alternative entry program or whether North Carolina should hire teachers from out of state.

“But, I’ll tell you what: We’re going to use this data to produce stronger teachers,” Bowles said, adding that the UNC System will produce bet-ter principals.

The other major part of the action plan is to make sure the UNC System provides students with the opportunity to go to community colleges or universities.

“And we’ve got a real prob-lem here,” Bowles said.

Bowles was referring to statistics he said shows large numbers of students in, for example, Singapore, scoring at the highest levels in testing for math and science profi-ciency while masses of North Carolina eighth graders come nowhere near such results.

Regarding access to higher education in North Carolina, Bowles said, “I’m going to fight like the dickens to keep our tuition low.”

Bowles noted more than 30 percent tuition increases in California.

“Well, we’re flat not going to do that in North Carolina,” Bowles said, noting the state ranks second best nationwide in affordability.

Bowles went so far as to say he would rather see state Rep. Jim Crawford, D-Granville and one of the chairmen of House appropriations, provide limited resources to a community college than to a university.

“We can’t train people for the jobs of tomorrow with 10-year-old equipment,” Bowles said. “We can’t do it.”

Bowles went on to note that the UNC System has more distance learning programs than the highly advertised University of Phoenix, goes af-ter federal research programs and is aggressively seeking

funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, better known as the Obama administration’s stimulus program.

And Bowles said grant writ-ers “have been busting their back sides” to obtain stimulus funds for the UNC System.

Bowles said the UNC Sys-tem is working on improving efforts to secure more indus-trial research and is working with IBM to redesign the technology transfer program that brings together research with practice.

And Bowles said IBM believes the UNC System will become the “go-to” of universi-ties for industrial research because the system has taken the “pain” out of dealing with the universities.

Additionally, Bowles said, “We’re really trying to change the culture of the universities.”

Historically, most universi-ties have been supply driven,

with the thinking being, “We just do what we durn well please,” Bowles said.

Bowles said he wants the UNC System to, like the busi-ness world, be more demand driven and to produce competi-tive graduates.

Bowles recalled the since-completed UNC Tomorrow initiative to find out from citizens what they needed from the UNC System and to make recommendations to the system’s Board of Governors.

And Bowles said business leaders have made clear they want graduates with ana-lytical skills, communications skills, creative thinking, strong math and science skills and the ability to work in teams.

And Bowles said that, at one point, he was even told, “Erskine, just send me some-body who can write.”

SPC Danielle Podiaza, of Columbia, S.C., SPC Rebecca Barman, of Matthews, N.C., PFC Ken Crouch, of Atlanta, Ga., SGT Patricia Dew, of Durham, N.C., and SSG Melissa Walker, of Charleston, S.C., members of the 208th Army Band perform during the annual Granville Chamber of Commerce’s Thanksgiving breakfast Wednesday morning at Oxford Bap-tist Church.

STUDENTS, from page oneCounty.

“All of the names were re-ceived by the Vance County Schools’ Public Information Office by the end of the busi-ness day on Tuesday, Nov. 24, the established deadline for the written submission of names,” said Terri Hedrick, public information officer for the Vance County Schools.

“Comments on these sub-mitted names are the only ones which will be discussed during the public hearing.”

A seven-member Fa-cilities Naming Committee, appointed by the Vance County Board of Education, will preside over the public hearing, Hedrick said.

The most famous name on the list is Charlotte Hawkins Brown, a pio-neer in education and race relations who was born on a farm near Henderson, the granddaughter of a slave. Described by William Powell in his Dictionary of North Carolina Biography as a precocious child, Brown moved to Cambridge, Mass., in her early years and distin-guished herself as a superior student and a gifted musi-cian. She created a school in Sedalia, N.C., that Powell says emulated the New England ideal in academics in combination with the best of industrial education. She achieved state and national recognition for her school and is remembered for being actively involved in efforts to improve race relations in the South.

The current school on Clark Street was named after John E. Clarke, spelled with an “e” on the end, despite the fact that neither the city nor the school dis-trict used the same spelling for the street and the school. Clark Street Elementary was built in the early 1920s.

Hedrick said the mem-bers of the Facilities Naming Committee will receive comments during the public hearing concerning these 16 suggested names. The committee members will not respond to comments made during the public hearing, she said.

After the public hearing, the Facilities Naming Com-mittee will meet at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 8, in the Vance County Schools’ Ad-ministrative Services Center on Graham Avenue. At that time, committee members will review the names and comments made during the

public hearing.The committee is

expected to make a deci-sion during that meeting on its recommendations to the Vance County Board of Education for the naming of the new school.

It is likely that the Board of Education will consider the committee’s recom-mendations at its meeting on Monday, Dec. 14, at 7 p.m. in the school system’s Administrative Services Center, Hedrick said.

At the school board meeting earlier this month, a representative of Hite Associates, a Greenville architectural firm, described the overall project as more than 50 percent complete. Brad Williams said the school should be finished in June 2010 and ready to open for the arrival of students in August.

A redistricting is being done to determine which students will be attending the new school in the fall, school officials have said.

Bowles’ humor

OXFORD — UNC System President Erskine Bowles on Wednesday began his speech at an an-nual pre-Thanksgiving civic gathering with quite a bit of humor.

The former Clinton White House chief of staff drew chuckles after he started poking fun at himself about his introduc-tion from state Rep. Jim Crawford having skipped over failed campaigns for elected office.

Bowles recalled that, in his last “political debacle,” he walked into the Burger King off Linden Avenue and saw a massive man. Bowles said the man more than once looked at him before saying, “I know who you are.”

And Bowles, recalling feeling quite excited by the moment, said he told the man, “Okay, who am I?”

“He said, ‘You’re the weatherman’,” Bowles said,

re-enacting the man’s deep voice and drawing bursts of laughter.

“I was the worst politi-cian in the history of North Carolina,” Bowles said.

Bowles was named by President Clinton as chief of staff in 1996 and served until 1998. Bowles, who un-successfully ran for the U.S. Senate in 2002 and 2004, has been UNC System president for approximately four years.

Bowles, in speaking about being thankful to have his present position, quipped about someone tell-ing him that he ought to be appreciative because “you spent three years trying to get a job.”

And Bowles drew chuckles about telling someone about his being UNC System president being like a chief executive of a cemetery. “You’ve got all these people underneath you, but there ain’t nobody listening,” Bowles said.

Our OpiniOn

In prayerful thanksgiving

*A Psalm of praise.*Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands. Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing. Know ye that the Lord he [is] God: [it is] he [that] hath made us, and not we ourselves; [we are] his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, [and] into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, [and] bless his name. For the Lord [is] good; his mercy [is] everlasting; and his truth [endureth] to all generations.

What’s Thanksgiving for you?A day of feasting? A day of football?

Family? Just one more day before the sales begin at the shopping centers?

Our nation’s first president wasn’t the first to observe a day of Thanksgiving in American history, but he was the first to declare the official observance shortly after the birth of this new United States.

It was Oct. 3, 1789. President George Washington, just beginning his term, signed the first Thanksgiving proclama-tion. President Abraham Lincoln would be the first to establish an annual day of Thanksgiving in America in 1863, and it would be 1941 before the last Thursday of the month was declared the official day.

But some 220 years ago, the nation’s first president decided there was much for which to be thankful as a new nation.

He set aside Thursday, November 26, 1789, as “A Day of Public Thanksgiving and Prayer ... to be observed by acknowl-edging with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty God.”

In honor of Thanksgiving and its true purpose as declared by our forefathers, we share these words of President Washing-ton from that proclamation:

“Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protec-tion and favor – and whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Commit-tee requested me to recommend to the People of the United States a Day of Public Thanksgiving and Prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of govern-ment for their safety and happiness.

“Now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glori-ous Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be – That we may then all unite in rendering unto him our sincere and humble thanks – for his kind care and protection of the Peo-ple of this Country previous to their becom-ing a Nation – for the signal and manifold mercies, and the favorable interpositions of his Providence which we experienced in the course and conclusion of the late war – for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty, which we have since enjoyed – for the peaceable and rational manner, in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national One now lately instituted – for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed; and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and in general for all the great and various favors which he hath been pleased to confer upon us.

“And also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplica-tions to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech him to pardon our national and other transgressions – to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually – to render our national government a blessing to all the people, by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, dis-creetly and faithfully executed and obeyed – to protect and guide all Sovereigns and Nations (especially such as have shown kindness unto us) and to bless them with good government, peace, and concord – To promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the increase of science among them and us – and gener-ally to grant unto all Mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as he alone knows to be best.”

Where do our thoughts lie on this Thanksgiving Day 2009? There’s indeed still much for which to be thankful.

May this be for you a day of prayer filled with thanksgiving.

Pardon me, pass the civilityIt’s bound to happen at

Thanksgiving tables across America: A progressive liberal Democrat discovers he’s sitting next to a conservative Repub-lican.

There’s no need for mashed potatoes to fly.

Harry Stein, an author, col-umnist and contributing editor to the political magazine City Journal, offers advice on how to navigate the situation.

Stein, an erstwhile ’60’s radi-cal who evolved into a conser-vative, faced a similar dilemma at a dinner party a few years ago.

When the guest next to him discovered his conservative/libertarian thinking, the fellow said loudly, “I can’t believe I’m sitting next to a Republican!”

“It was,” says Stein, “as if I was wearing not only a white hood, but a Nazi armband.”

So accustomed had Stein become to such broadsides — common experiences for con-servatives living in progressive bastions — he wrote a humor-ous book on the subject: “I Can’t Believe I’m Sitting Next to a Republican: A Survival Guide for Conservatives Marooned Among the Angry, Smug, and Terminally Self-Righteous.”

So what to do when bipo-lar political philosophies are seated next to each other at the Thanksgiving table?

Make a concerted effort to get beyond “straw man” ste-reotypes.

“In theory, liberalism is predicated on openness to varied perspec-tives, but talk to lots of liberals and what

you’ll hear is that all conserva-tives are greedy, hardhearted knuckle draggers,” says Stein. “To them, ‘conservative’ is an-other way of saying ‘warmon-gering,’ ‘racist,’ ‘homophobic,’ not to mention ‘aching to wipe out every last polar bear for the sake of Big Oil.’”

Who wouldn’t loathe a fel-low with beliefs like that?

The truth is conservatives, just as liberals, come in all shapes and sizes; many are as nuanced, complex and thoughtful as anybody else.

The truth is progressives

and conservatives agree with each other more than they are aware.

“Discovering the common ground can only occur when discussions proceed in a logical and factual manner,” says Stein. “If you want to argue a point and demonstrate the truthfulness of your position, be sure to have your facts straight.”

Stein gave one example pertaining to the health care debate.

“Some progressives believe that conservatives are sim-ply dupes of the insurance industry stampeded by phony propaganda, and, yes, that we are racists,” he says. “The fact is, it’s a lot easier to name-call than deal with our arguments, starting with the likelihood that not only will a govern-ment takeover of health care have devastating effects on the economy, but it will not be good for health care.”

Another example: Some progressives believe that con-servatives could not care less about the poor.

“What we believe is that conservative polices, such as tax incentives to hire, are a great deal more beneficial

to the poor than the polices that came out of the Great Society,” says Stein. “Such policies encouraged women to raise children without fathers. Today, in some communities, 70 percent of children are born to single mothers.”

Stein used to think it best to avoid such discussions at the Thanksgiving table, but his position has changed over the years.

“We are facing a lot of chal-lenges in our country and we really need to discuss them in a civil and thoughtful man-ner.”

Still, if you’re a conservative and fearful of being discovered, Stein says, you may want to plan ahead.

“You might want to sit beside a large liberal behind whom you can duck in case the mashed potatoes fly.”

The winner will take all on health careI hereby forfeit my claim

to a right-wing conspiracy decoder ring by offering two cheers for the Democrats. I congratulate them on their victory Saturday night in the Senate, and while I can’t quite wish them continued success on the course they are follow-ing, I’m beginning to make peace with the possibility that they’ll win.

For years, conservatives and liberals have flirted with the idea of disposing of the fool’s errand of bipartisanship. Seek-ing compromise with partisans across the aisle is a recipe for getting nothing important done.

For liberals, New York Times columnist Paul Krug-man has been a leader of this school. In 2007, Krugman wrote in Slate magazine that progressives should abandon any pretense at working with Republicans. The “middle ground,” he wrote, “doesn’t ex-ist — and if Democrats try to find it, they’ll squander a huge opportunity. Right now, the stars are aligned for a major change in America’s direction. If the Democrats play nice, that opportunity may soon be gone.”

“If one thing is clear from the stimulus debate,” he wrote earlier this year, “it’s that the two parties have utterly differ-ent economic doctrines.” Krug-man went on to describe the different views in his typically tendentious manner.

He’s right on the basic

point. While there are plenty of hackish, opportunistic deal makers in both parties, the core visions — one progressive, the other conservative — that animate the rank and file are increasingly, and fundamen-tally, irreconcilable.

Hence, the quest for the middle ground usually

rewards the worst kinds of politicians — those devoid of any core convictions and only concerned with feathering their own nests — and yields

the worst kinds of policies. Blending the two visions is like trying to marry two differ-ent recipes. You don’t get the best of both so much as a huge mess — say, peanut butter and caviar — or a fraudulent meal, like a “vegetarian” cheesesteak. Better to stay pure, have your way and convince the American people that your way is the best way.

In short, if you can’t join ‘em, beat ‘em.

Now, the appeal of such an argument depends a great deal on your proximity to power. When your side is out of power, half a loaf is more appetizing than nothing. When in power, the thought of hogging the

whole loaf for yourself instead of sharing is seductive.

I may be talking about team dynamics, but I don’t mean that there’s no difference between the teams. Far from it. The Democrats sincerely be-lieve that nationalized health care, in one form or another, is the best thing for America and that if they can get it passed, voters will fall in love with it. Politically, there is a real dan-ger they’re right. Americans are loath to relinquish entitle-ments once they’ve secured them. That’s the Republicans’ gamble.

Then again, Democrats run the very serious risk that before the imagined joys of health care reform can be real-ized, voters will revolt over its tax hikes, massive Medicare cuts, increased bureaucracy and/or its budget-exploding costs. That’s the Democrats’ gamble.

Some moderate Democrats are making a side bet that they can vote for it out of solidarity and then run back to the center come the 2010 elections.

Well, I say let it ride. And just to make it more inter-esting, Republicans should promise to repeal “Obamacare” if they get a congressional majority in 2010. As National Review’s Ramesh Ponnuru argues, that way moderate Democrats won’t be able to run away from their votes come 2010. They’ll be on notice that this will be the campaign issue

of the election. And moderate Republicans will be on notice to resist the temptation to tinker with Obamacare rather than defenestrate it once it’s passed.

Sure, I’d rather see this health care proposal die stillborn (and that’s still quite possible). But if it passes, the upside is that Americans will finally be given a stark philosophical choice on a fun-damental issue. That’s much rarer than you might think (recall that the Iraq war and the bailouts were bipartisan affairs).

Obamacare is a vast, deeply polarizing demonstration project for progressive ideas. It is terrible policy, but because I think it’s terrible policy, it may well result in a beneficial back-lash. “Example is the school of mankind,” proclaimed Edmund Burke, “and they will learn at no other.”

Democrats insist they’re pushing for health care reform against a political headwind because “history” compels them to. Republicans are standing athwart “history” yelling, “Stop!”

Politically, one side will be proved right, and the side proved wrong will pay a stag-gering price. Everyone’s all in.

Today In HIsTory

dear abby

DEAR ABBY: I loved the letter from “Claire in Beth-lehem, Pa.” (Sept. 4) and her idea of creating dinner par-ties or luncheons to celebrate days with unique numbers. I agree wholeheartedly with your response to her. I bet if there were a 13-13-13, Mur-phy’s Law would mandate that it fall on a Friday!

I am curious how many readers won’t get the joke and will write in, feeling the need to explain to you that there isn’t a 13th month. I am betting it’ll be in the hun-dreds; my husband is betting maybe just a dozen. Could you settle that bet for us? We have a dinner riding on it. — AMAN-DA IN AN-MOORE, W.VA.

DEAR AMANDA: You win. I heard from readers by the hundreds, and about half of them volunteered that they thought I was “losing it.” (Thanks, folks!) I hope the dinner your husband buys you will be sumptuous, intimate, candlelit and enjoy-able. Read on:

DEAR ABBY: If you want your advice to be taken seri-ously, check what you write before you publish. In today’s paper you said you hope 13-13-13 falls on a Friday. What planet are you from? I’m not sure I even want to read advice from a person who is this disconnected. So get out the calendar, check your facts and print a retraction! -- BILL IN KEY WEST

DEAR ABBY: I’m not a stupid person, but I thought you’d get a kick out of knowing I actually tried

to research what day of the week 13-13-13 would fall on. Then I just cracked up out loud. — SHARI IN PITTS-BURG, CALIF.

DEAR ABBY: Were you serious? I am sure you were trying to be funny, and I’m not trying to insult you. It took me a couple of seconds to realize there is no 13th month, so it would be impos-sible to throw a dinner party on 13-13-13.

I hope you’ll write your col-umn forever because it had an influence on me deciding to become a counselor. — DI-ANNA IN SPRINGFIELD, ORE.

DEAR ABBY: I looked it up, and 13-13-13 does NOT fall on Friday. It falls on a Noneday. — FLORA IN MILAN, MICH.

DEAR ABBY: Allow me to offer a suggestion to “Claire in Bethlehem, Pa.” For her Oct. 10, 2010, party she should pop some popcorn and rent a Bo Derek movie. — JOEL IN DOVER, N.H.

DEAR ABBY: I suggest you celebrate 13-13-13 on April Fool’s Day. — JOAN IN CHARLESTON, ILL.

DEAR READERS: It is my intent that this column not only inform, educate and occasionally inspire, but also entertain. The daily news is often depressing, and I would like to give you some relief from it — a place where you can learn from the predica-ments of others and, once in a while, turn the page with a smile. — Love, ABBY

Today is Thursday, Nov. 26, the 330th day of 2009. There are 35 days left in the year. This is Thanksgiving Day.

Today’s Highlight:Nov. 26, 1789, was a day

of thanksgiving set aside by President George Washing-ton to observe the adoption of the Constitution of the United States.

On this date:In 1825, the first col-

lege social fraternity, the Kappa Alpha Society, was formed at Union College in Schenectady, N.Y.

In 1842, the founders of the University of Notre Dame arrived at the school’s present-day site near South Bend, Ind.

In 1883, former slave and abolitionist Sojourner Truth died in Battle Creek, Mich.

In 1933, a judge in New York decided the James Joyce book “Ulysses” was not obscene and could be pub-lished in the United States.

In 1942, President Frank-lin D. Roosevelt ordered nationwide gasoline ration-ing, beginning Dec. 1. The motion picture “Casablanca,” starring Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman, had its world premiere at the Holly-wood Theater in New York.

In 1943, during World War II, the HMT Rohna, a British transport ship carrying American soldiers, was hit by a German missile off Algeria; 1,138 men were killed.

In 1950, China entered the Korean War, launching a counteroffensive against soldiers from the United Nations, the U.S. and South Korea.

In 1973, President Richard Nixon’s personal secretary, Rose Mary Woods, told a federal court that she’d ac-cidentally caused part of the 18 1/2-minute gap in a key Watergate tape.

Ten years ago:Sixteen people were killed

when a Norwegian high-speed passenger ferry hit a

shoal and sank off Boemla Island, 250 miles west of Oslo.

Five years ago:Leading Iraqi politi-

cians called for a six-month delay in the Jan. 30 election because of spiraling violence; President George W. Bush said, “The Iraqi Election Commission has scheduled elections in January, and I would hope they’d go forward in January.” (The vote took place as scheduled.)

One year ago:Teams of heavily armed

gunmen, allegedly from Pakistan, stormed luxury hotels, a popular tourist attraction and a crowded train station in Mumbai, India, leaving at least 166 people dead in a rampage lasting some 60 hours. A Missouri mother on trial in a landmark cyberbullying case was convicted by a federal jury in Los Angeles of three minor offenses for her role in a mean-spirited Internet hoax that apparently drove a 13-year-old girl, Megan Meier, to suicide. (However, Lori Drew’s convictions were later dismissed.)

Today’s Birthdays:Actress Ellen Albertini

Dow is 91. Author Gail Shee-hy is 72. Impressionist Rich Little is 71. Singer Tina Turn-er is 70. Singer Jean Terrell is 65. Pop musician John McVie is 64. Actress Marianne Muellerleile is 61.

Turkey Day pigskin: Giants understand Broncos’ frustrationBy ARNIE STAPLETON

aP sPorTs WriTer

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — The New York Giants just escaped their own month of misery. So they understand the seething frustration and loss of poise in Denver, where sideline shoves, the head coach’s cockiness and players-only meetings are all the buzz.

The Broncos (6-4) have lost four in a row and blown what was once a 3 1/2-game division cushion. The Gi-ants (6-4) snapped their own four-game slid, which cost them the NFC East lead, by beating Atlanta in overtime Sunday.

The two second-place teams

meet Thursday night at Invesco Field as the Broncos host their

first Thanksgiving game since 1963 in the AFL.

Denver is at the low point of the season following a 32-3 thrashing

Sunday at the hands of the San Diego Chargers, who supplanted them atop the AFC West.

Broncos coach Josh McDaniels exchanged heated words with some of San Diego’s linebackers during warmups, then watched his team come undone with silly penalties and an ugly sideline spat while losing both its com-posure and its fourth straight game.

Although McDaniels has

The better Devils

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Al-len Iverson is set to retire from the NBA, according to an online report.

Commentator Stephen A. Smith published a statement on his Web site Wednesday attrib-uted to Iverson. It said Iverson plans to retire but also that “I feel strongly that I can still com-pete at the highest level.”

The statement also said Iverson has tremendous love for the game and the desire to play. The 10-time All-Star played three games this season with Memphis before taking a leave of absence to attend to personal matters. He was waived after the two sides agreed to part ways.

It was the second straight ugly ending for Iverson, who was unhappy last season playing for the Pistons. He was upset that Detroit coach Michael Curry and Memphis’ Lionel Hollins used the former MVP as a reserve.

The New York Knicks consid-ered signing Iverson last week after he cleared waivers, before deciding he would take too much playing time away from younger players they are trying to develop.

The Knicks seemed to be the only team who would consider bringing in Iverson, so there was no guarantee he’d play in the NBA this season, anyway. Still, the announcement Wednesday came as a surprise to George Karl, who coached Iverson in Denver.

“I think he still has something left to give some team out there. If that’s his decision, he’ll go down in history, I think, as the greatest little guard ever to play the game of basketball,” Karl said.

“I was happy to have him for a couple years and hopefully our paths will cross. But I have a sneaky feeling that somewhere along the way an injury or a circumstance with a team will open that window back up.”

One of the NBA’s great scor-ers, Iverson entered this season with a career average of 27.1 points that ranked fifth all time. Yet there was almost no interest in him this summer before he went to the Grizzlies on a one-year deal. Iverson can still score, as he averaged 17.4 points with the Pistons last season. Yet he has made it clear he doesn’t view himself as a backup, which has likely hurt his chances of signing with a contending team.

The 6-foot guard thanked former players and coaches in the statement, plus the fans in Memphis and Philadelphia, where he spent his best years. He said stepping away would al-low him to spend more time with his wife and kids. He also said he thought he could still play.

“I always thought that when I left the game, it would be because I couldn’t help my team the way that I was accustomed to,” it read. “However, that is not the case.”

By CHRIS DUNCANaP sPorTs WriTer

COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Texas has taken control of its annual series with Oklaho-ma, gone 15-3 against ranked opponents since 2005 and won its last five bowl games.

Texas A&M, though, has been a troublesome opponent for Mack Brown’s Longhorns.

The Aggies have twice upset the heavily favored Longhorns in the last three season. The victories have been the high-lights of an otherwise forget-table decade for A&M, which hasn’t finished a season in the Top 25 since 1999.

The archrivals meet again on Thanksgiving night, and if Texas A&M (6-5, 3-4 Big 12) can pull off another shocker, it’ll probably cost No. 3 Texas (11-0, 7-0) a shot at the national title and cripple Colt McCoy’s chances of winning the Heis-man Trophy.

The losses to A&M in 2006 and ’07 erased Texas’ chances of winning the Big 12 South, but the Longhorns don’t have to worry about that happening this time. They locked up their first berth in the Big 12 title game since 2005 with a 51-20 win over Kansas last week, and Brown acknowledged that’s a relief heading to Kyle Field.

Charlotte’s Gerald Wallace drives between toronto’s Andrea Bargnani and Chris Bosh in the first half of Wednesday’s game in Charlotte.

By MIKE CRANSTONaP sPorTs WriTer

CHARLOTTE — Gerald Wallace is finally starting to hit some shots. Stephen Jackson is beginning to figure out his teammates.

The combination pro-duced a record-setting win and a confident Charlotte locker room.

Wallace broke out of his shooting slump Wednesday night to score 31 points and grab 13 rebounds, Jackson added 23 points and the Bob-cats routed the Toronto Raptors 116-81 for the most lopsided victory in franchise history.

With their offense sud-denly coming together this week, the Bobcats won

their second straight game following a seven-game skid in a fashion never seen in the team’s six years. Charlotte’s previous largest margin of victory was 32 points against Indi-ana on Nov. 16, 2005.

“This was our best game so far,” coach Larry Brown said.

With managing partner Michael Jordan looking pleased from his front-row seat, the Bobcats set a season high for points for the second straight game thanks to Wallace, who was 10 for 20 from the field and 11 of 12 from the foul line. He combined with Jackson in Char-lotte’s most fluid offensive performance since Jack-son’s arrival.

“It’s coming along great,” Wallace said of pairing with Jackson, acquired from Golden State on Nov. 16. “We read and we play off each other. How he goes is how I go and how I go is how he goes. We pick up for each other.”

The Raptors, in an-other dismal performance to close a back-to-back, proved to be no match.

Chris Bosh had 18 points and 14 rebounds, and Andrea Bargnani scored 15 as Toronto shot 35 percent, set a season low for points and lost for the fifth time in seven games.

Runyan joins Chargers, politics must wait

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Politics will have to wait for offensive tackle Jon Runyan, who has practiced for the first time with his new team, the San Diego Chargers.

Runyan was signed on Tuesday after the Chargers placed right tackle Jeromey Clary on injured reserve with an ankle injury.

Runyan will put on hold his plans to challenge Democratic Rep. John Adler in New Jersey’s 3rd Dis-trict. His new job is to learn San Diego’s playbook.

Coach Norv Turner said Wednesday that the team will try to get Runyan up to speed as quickly as pos-sible and decide later this week if he’ll be able to play in Sunday’s home game against Kansas City.

Runyan hasn’t played since the end of last season. He wasn’t re-signed by Philadelphia after having surgery on his right knee.

Quinn backs embattled Weis

BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Cleveland Browns quarter-back Brady Quinn says Notre Dame would be making a mistake if it fires coach Charlie Weis.

Quinn, who played two seasons for Weis with the Fighting Irish, would like to see the embattled coach back for a sixth season.

“I hope not,” Quinn said when asked if he expected a coaching change at his alma mater. “Personally I think it would be a horrible decision if they did make that change. I think there are a lot of circumstances that play into seasons like this. Hopefully he’ll have an op-portunity to have another year with the guys.”

Notre Dame is 6-5 heading into its regular-season finale at Stanford. Weis is 35-26 in five seasons at the school. He was 19-6 and made trips to the Fiesta and Sugar Bowls with Quinn as his quarterback.

Quinn said it’s tough to pinpoint why the Fighting Irish have slipped nationally.

“I know as a player there, one of the things we prided ourselves on was winning games and not worrying about stats or individual accolades, but pulling through tight games and winning games and going in there and fighting every week,” Quinn said. “I think if you’ve got enough talent on that team, there’s guys that need to pull together and find ways to win.”

If Weis is indeed fired, Quinn said he would love to be reunited with his former coach.

“It’d be nice,” Quinn said. “I’d like to play under him again if I had the opportunity. It’d be cool.”

Hoover, Godfrey return to practice for Panthers

CHARLOTTE (AP) — Carolina fullback Brad Hoover and safety Charles Godfrey have returned to practice following injuries, but the Panthers remain depleted at linebacker.

Hoover has missed the past three games with a high ankle sprain, while Godfrey has sat out four with a sprained ankle. Both practiced in full Wednes-day and are expected to play Sunday at the New York Jets.

But Panthers starting strongside linebacker Na’il Diggs missed practice with a sore rib, a day after weakside linebacker Landon Johnson was placed on injured reserve with a knee injury. Johnson had been starting for Thomas Davis, who is out for the season with a torn knee ligament.

The injuries could leave James Anderson and Dan Connor starting opposite middle linebacker Jon Beason.

Wisconsin 78, No. 21 Maryland 69LAHAINA, Hawaii (AP)

— Jason Bohannon and Wisconsin went outside the arc to take down Maryland.

Bohannon scored 20 points and Jon Leuer added 16, leading the Badgers to a 78-69 victory over No. 21 Maryland in the third-place game of the Maui Invitational on Wednesday at the Lahaina Civic Center.

Trevon Hughes had 14 points for the Badgers (4-1), who made 10 of 22 3-pointers, including four by Bohannon.

“The difference was we hit more 3s and they didn’t,” Wisconsin coach Bo Ryan said.

Greivis Vasquez led Maryland (4-2) with 18 points. He was 6 for 13 from the floor and 2-for-4 from beyond the arc.

“What hurt us today is that they shot 10 for 22 on their 3s, combined with us shooting 10 for 17 on free throws,” Terrapins coach Gary Williams said. “That combination in a game like that isn’t good.”

Ryan said that while both teams are well-con-ditioned, it showed for his players in their long-range shooting.

“I attribute that to our hill running. Like our book says, this was another hill to climb,” Ryan said. “Conditioning is big. I thought that showed here. Maryland does the same things and they are in good condition, too. But we hit our 3s today on the third game in three days. The only way to do that is to have your legs and our guys had their legs today.”

Williams thinks Wis-consin will be a Big Ten contender this season.

“Nobody ever seems to notice them, but Wiscon-sin will be a factor,” he said. “They seem to show up in the (NCAA) tourna-

ment every year and I’m sure they will again this season.”

Maryland scored the first seven points before Wisconsin answered with a 16-2 run to take a 16-9 lead with 11:59 left in the first half. Wisconsin stretched the lead to 37-27 at halftime.

Maryland pulled to 51-48 with just more than 10 minutes remaining, but got no closer. Led by Leuer’s seven points, Wisconsin went on a 14-5 run to open a 65-53 lead with 5:51 to play. The Badgers led by at least seven the rest of the way.

Bohannon finished 4 for 5 from long range. Hughes went 5 for 17 from the floor, including 3 for 8 on 3s.

Maryland was 5 for 13 on 3-pointers.

The Terrapins, the top-

ranked team in the field coming in, beat only Divi-sion II tournament host Chaminade. Wisconsin left Maui with wins over Mary-land and Arizona.

“Maybe the learning curve here, with the experi-ence that they have gained, will help them,” Ryan said. “I am hoping that is a big part of it.”

Virginia 76, Cleveland St. 65CANCUN, Mexico (AP)

— Sylven Landesberg scored 20 points and Will Sherrill came off the bench to add 18, including 15 in the second half, to lead Virginia to a 76-65 victory over Cleveland State on Wednesday night.

Virginia (4-2) rallied from a 10-point, second-half deficit to finish in third at the Cancun Clas-

sic.Cleveland State (3-3),

which lost both of its games in the tourna-ment, extended its lead to 39-29 at the 17:33 mark. The Cavaliers hit three straight baskets to cut the lead to 41-38 with 15:13 left before Sherrill tied the score at 46-46 on a 3-point-er with 12:13 remaining.

Virginia took the lead for good on Mike Scott’s dunk and another 3-point-er from Sherrill.

Jeremy Montgomery led Cleveland State with 14 points. Aaron Pogue added 13 points and Norris Cole scored 12.

Scott added 15 points, Mustapha Farrakhan had 11 and Sammy Zeglinski finished with 10 points for Virginia.

Miami 77, Fla. Gulf Coast 58CORAL GABLES, Fla.

(AP) — DeQuan Jones scored a career-high 16 points to pace Miami in a 77-58 victory over Florida Gulf Coast on Wednesday night.

James Dews added 15 on five 3-pointers and Malcolm Grant also scored in double figures with 14 for the Hurricanes (6-0), who are off to best start since 2007-08, when they were 12-0.

Miami went on a 12-2 run to start the game, keyed by a pair of 3-point-ers by Dews, and took a 39-23 lead into halftime.

Baskets by Jones and Durand Scott in the open-ing minute of the second half stretched the lead to 20 points.

Three-point shooting proved to be the differ-ence as the Hurricanes hit 13 on 36 attempts from behind the arc, compared to the Eagles, who were 1-for-13 from 3-point range.

Florida Gulf Coast (0-4) was led by Anthony Banks with 15 points.

Report: Bills meet with Shanahan

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Two-time Super Bowl winner Mike Shanahan met with the Buffalo Bills to discuss their head coaching vacancy, accord-ing to a published report.

ESPN.com on Wednesday reported that Bills chief operating officer Russ Brandon traveled to Denver and spent seven hours meeting with Shanahan on Monday night and Tuesday morning. Shanahan was quoted as saying he had “an excellent meeting.”

Shanahan, however, added the two sides agreed to stay in touch to see what develops. He’s been out of football since being fired as Broncos coach after last season.

The Bills (3-7), who host Miami on Sunday, were not immediately available for comment. Perry Fewell made his debut as interim coach last weekend after Dick Jauron was fired.

ST. LOUIS — Mark McGwire was hired to be the St. Louis Cardinals’ hitting coach a month ago, and the former home run king’s initial media session has yet to be scheduled.

General manager John Mozeliak, who said on the day McGwire was hired that a news conference would be held “sooner rather than later,” was tightlipped Tuesday about the team’s plans.

“I’m not going to put a timetable on it because I

don’t know,” Mozeliak said in an interview with The Associated Press. “It could be soon, it could be in a couple of weeks, it could be the first of the year. I don’t know.”

McGwire’s news con-ference has been highly anticipated. He has failed to gain election to the Hall of Fame in his first three chances despite hitting a then-record 70 home runs in 1998 and retiring with 583 homers in 2001. He fa-mously refused to answer questions about steroids use during a March 2005 congressional hearing,

saying he wasn’t there to talk about the past.

Before the recent era tainted by performance-enhancing drugs, 500 homers was considered an automatic ticket to the Hall of Fame. But the 46-year-old McGwire has received just under 25 percent support from Baseball Writers’ Associa-tion of America voters in his three appearances on the Hall of Fame ballot. That’s well under the 75 percent needed.

Mozeliak said at the time of McGwire’s hiring that there will be no effort

to shield the slugger from questions about steroids.

Mozeliak said McGwire wasn’t resisting meeting with media, but rather that the Cardinals and McGwire were simply “taking our time.” He said it hadn’t bee decided whether McGwire would appear in person or on a teleconference.

The GM was vague on what has delayed a news conference.

“There’s a lot going into it,” Mozeliak said. “It’s complicated, and once we work through everything we’ll be ready to go.”

Still no schedule for McGwire news conference

Square Garden. The Hus-kies beat LSU 81-55 in the other semifinal.

Singler, who missed eight of his first nine shots from the field, made his second straight to give the Blue Devils the lead for good. After Singler scored again in the lane, Scheyer hit his only 3-pointer to make it 50-43. Rihards Kuksiks’ three-point play slowed the run some but the Blue Devils were back at it behind some suddenly effective defense that allowed Arizona State just that one field goal over a 10-minute span.

Trent Lockett, limited to 30 minutes by foul trouble, and Glasser both had 13 points for the Sun Devils.

The victory allowed Duke to extend some impressive streaks. This was its 11th straight win in this tourna-ment as the Blue Devils swept to the title in 2000 and 2005. They also won the inaugural tournament in 1985.

This was Duke’s fourth straight win at Madison Square Garden and the 11th in its last 12 games in the building. It also was the Blue Devils’ 21st straight win in November, a streak that dates to a 2006 loss to Marquette.

Scheyer hit a 3 as he was falling in front of the Arizona State bench to give the Blue Devils a 34-30 lead with 4.8 seconds left in the first half.Scheyer committed his first turnover of the sea-son 8:02 into the game. The senior guard entered with 21 assists and no turnovers

in 131 minutes over the first four games.

His first turnover of the season came when he stepped on the sideline as the Blue Devils were setting up a play, but it didn’t lead to any points for the Sun Devils. He finished with two turnovers in the game.

declined to discuss his own trash talking with the opponent, he did say he’s an emotional coach with a team full of emotional play-ers who need to keep their poise.

“You can’t be all over the place emotionally,” Denver defensive leader Brian Dawkins concurred. “That doesn’t usually lead to a lot of success.”

Dawkins called a play-ers-only meeting Tuesday to get some things off his chest.

“It felt great,” running back Correll Buckhalter said. “I think we needed it to get all our players on the same page.”

Cornerback Champ Bailey said some attitudes needed adjusting but he won’t know until Thursday night if the “no coaches allowed” meeting did any good.

“I was fairly encour-aged just to talk to some of my teammates,” Bailey said. “But what’s going to encourage me more is if we play better. It’s not really what people say, it’s what they do.”

And lately, the Broncos have been talking a good game but playing bad ones.

Their offense has been

stuck in low gear, their defense is springing leaks, especially against the run, and their special teams are dreadful.

Sounds a lot like the Giants before they snapped out of their funk.

Defensive end Osi Um-enyiora said New York’s first win in 42 days felt like a brick wall was lifted on their backs.

“We were getting killed around here,” he said. “Coming to work wasn’t as much fun as it used to be when you were winning. Nobody likes to lose. We are accustomed to winning as of late. It was very, very im-portant and we are happy to get that done.”

As much as players talk about putting games behind them and moving on to the next opponent, winning streaks and losing streaks both have a way of linger-ing.

When you win, Giants quarterback Eli Manning said, “everybody is smiling a little bit easier and they are excited about the win and how everything is go-ing. When you start losing you get down a little bit and things aren’t as enjoyable. People aren’t laughing as easy. You are still practic-

ing the same, preparing the same. You go through the same steps. It’s not as fun when you’re not winning.”

“So it is good to get that win and get that sense of that winning feeling back in the locker room, ... kind of see the smiles after the game after a long stretch where you haven’t won a game.”

The Broncos are envious. They haven’t won since Oct. 19. They went through this same kind of skid last year, blowing a three-game lead over the last three weeks of the season to lose the division title, leading to an offseason of upheaval.

“The good thing about this year is it’s right in the middle of the season,” Bai-ley suggested. “So, we’ve got time to overcome that. Last year, we slid off at the end.”

The Broncos’ 6-0 start is

a faded memory now that opponents have discovered their soft underbelly: run-ning the ball straight up the gut.

Denver has allowed opponents to run for an average of 145 yards during the skid, controlling the second half by grinding out the clock.

Dawkins expects the Giants to try the same tactic that worked wonders for Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Washington and San Diego and hand the ball off early and often.

“Absolutely. Why wouldn’t you? If you were an opposing coach, why wouldn’t you do that? Why wouldn’t you test that out?” Dawkins said. “They’re a running team anyway, so they’re going to do it anyway, but why wouldn’t you?”

Maybe because the Gi-ants will be short-handed in the backfield with backup Ahmad Bradshaw (ankle) sidelined. So, they’ll have to be careful not to overwork Brandon Jacobs and wear him out in the Mile High air. Several Broncos said they were glad they had a short week to get back on the field for another shot at snapping their losing streak. Not Dawkins.

“Do I like playing on

Thanksgiving? No, I would I love to be sitting and watching somebody else play if I had my choice,” he said.

Giants defensive end Justin Tuck doesn’t mind missing out on a big feast, though.

“I eat every day. I am not worried about necessarily eating on Thanksgiving Day,” he said. “Hopefully I get to eat some quarter-backs.”

hands, quicker feet and were quicker up and down the floor,” coach Jay Triano said.

The Bobcats had been mired in an offensive slum-ber, even after Jackson’s arrival. Before his fifth game with Charlotte Wednesday, Brown seemed concerned.

“There’s a lot more he’s capable of doing,” Brown said before tipoff. “We’ve got to find a way to help him out.”

Wallace, too, had un-derachieved offensively. Entering the game as the surprising third-leading rebounder in the NBA, he was shooting 38 percent from the field and averaging only 13.7 points.

But he took advantage

of one of the NBA’s worst defenses by beating numer-ous defenders off the dribble and getting to the line, while combining with Jackson on the game’s decisive run.

With Charlotte leading 66-59 midway through the third quarter, Jackson fed Boris Diaw to begin a 17-3 spurt full of fast-break hoops.

Wallace hit two free throws, a shot in the lane and had a thunderous one-handed dunk over Amir Johnson that turned into a three-point play. Jackson then dunked on a feed from Wallace, and Wallace later hit two more free throws.

A night after scoring 74 points in the first half en route to a blowout win over

Indiana, Toronto managed 35 points in the second half in their lowest scoring output of the season.

And there were many culprits.

While Bosh collected his 13th double-double, he hit only 5 of 14 shots. Hedo Turkoglu managed only five points on 2-of-7 shooting and Jarrett Jack shot 1 for 9 as the Raptors fell to 0-4 on the second night of a back-to-back.

“If I’m open I’ll continue to shoot,” said Bosh, 10-for-33 from the field in the last two games. “I practice that shot all the time. If it doesn’t go in during the games, I can’t worry about that.”

Bosh didn’t get his first field goal until the final

minute of the half, but the Raptors trailed only 52-46. Bargnani’s outside shooting and Johnson’s play off the bench kept Toronto in it.

Toronto quickly faded in the second half, when it committed 13 of its 18 turnovers.

Charlotte got a boost inside from Tyson Chandler, who blocked six shots in his return after missing two games with back spasms. And with the Bobcats healthy and starting to figure each other out, there was optimism they could recover from their miserable start.

“Gerald was phenome-nal,” Brown said. “I thought everybody that played, played well.”

BOBCATS, from page 1B

“Sewing up the Big 12 South title really takes a lot of pressure off of this week, so we can go play and enjoy the game,” Brown said. “It is a na-tional game, a rival game again. It is important regardless of the records of the two teams and what’s at stake. This lets us focus on this game and not look at all the other stuff around us.”

Texas handled last year’s meeting just fine, routing the Aggies and new coach Mike Sherman 49-9 in Austin.

But two years ago in College Station, A&M delivered its most in-spired performance of the season and knocked off the 13th-ranked Longhorns 38-30, the Aggies’ most significant victory — and last game — under Dennis Franchione.

In 2006, the Aggies toughed out an equally unexpected 12-7 win in Austin. McCoy threw for only 160 yards and was picked off three times, and A&M rushed for 244 yards against the nation’s top-ranked run defense.

McCoy, who set an NCAA record last week with his 43rd career vic-tory, said the Longhorns have hardly mentioned either game since they happened.

“We don’t really talk about ’06 and ’07. We don’t like to think about that,” McCoy said. “We talk about being the best we can be and finishing what we started. That’s enough motivation for us. We’ve got a lot at stake.”

Since squeezing past Oklahoma 16-13 on Oct. 17, the Longhorns have rolled past their last five opponents by an average score of 43-12.

Brown said he talked to Florida coach Urban Mey-er about easing the pres-sure on his players during a national-championship run. And lately, Brown has noticed the Longhorns seem to be having the time of their lives.

McCoy and his fellow seniors took a victory lap

after the home finale last week, smacking hands with fans and soaking in the adulation. McCoy fired a cannon used to punctu-ate Texas touchdowns and banged on a giant bass drum before leaving the field.

“We feel like this team is having fun,” Brown said. “Whatever pressure the team had at the first of the year that was on them, they seem to have that off. They are relaxing and really enjoying each other, and enjoying playing.”

Sherman and the Aggies set more modest goals this season, and they reached the biggest one last week, gaining bowl eligibility with a 38-3 win over Baylor.

A&M has been strange-ly erratic this season, with blowout wins over Texas Tech and Iowa State coupled with even more lopsided losses to Kansas State and Oklahoma.

Junior quarterback Jer-rod Johnson has ranked among the nation’s total offense leaders all year and set a single-season school record for passing yards (2,875). The Aggies rank second in the Big 12 in to-tal offense (459.3 yards per game), but the Longhorns’ defense ranks third in the nation (238.7 yards).

“If you beat that team, you beat a great team,” Johnson said. “But at the same time, we’ve played with a lot of their guys in high school, so it’s not really a situation where we feel inferior by any means. We expect to win on Thursday.”

McCoy completed 23 of 28 passes for 311 yards and two touchdowns in last year’s easy victory, and A&M’s defense hasn’t gotten much better. The Aggies rank last in the Big 12 in points (31 per game) and yards allowed (416.3 per game).

The Aggies will wear emblems on their helmets to commemorate the 10-year anniversary of the bonfire collapse on campus that killed 12 and injured 27 in 1999.

RIVALRY, from page 1B

CHARLOTTE (AP) — Jeremy Mayfield’s former attorneys filed a civil suit Wednesday against the suspended NASCAR driv-er seeking nearly $400,000 in unpaid fees.

Meanwhile, Mayfield’s new attorney filed a motion in U.S. District Court that claims NA-SCAR chairman Brian France misrepresented his primary residence to have Mayfield’s lawsuit moved to federal court.

The two filings marked a busy day of legal wran-gling in the case of May-

field, who was suspended May 9 for failing a random drug test. NASCAR said he tested positive for methamphetamines, while Mayfield has denied using the illegal drug.

Mayfield is currently su-ing over his suspension.

In the first filing, the firm James, McElroy and Diehl claimed in North Carolina Superior Court that Mayfield owes $371,973.66, plus attor-ney fees, late charges and interest since Oct. 22.

The firm represented Mayfield from May until

October, when he hired high-profile attorney Mark Geragos.

The claim admits May-field made some payments during the time he was represented by Bill Diehl, but it states Mayfield was constantly late, often “rep-resented that payments were ’on the way,’ or ’being delivered today’ “ and that if Mayfield did come through with money, it was typically “for less than the promised amount.”

The suit also claims that Mayfield agreed in September to make

monthly payments of $20,000 until Dec. 15, when he was to make a lump sum payment to cover the full amount. The suit claims Mayfield prom-ised to sign the agreement, but never did.

The second filing, by Geragos’ legal team, is in response to NASCAR’s attempt to temporarily halt the discovery process. In it, Mayfield claims NASCAR should not have succeeding in moving the original lawsuit from North Carolina state courts to federal court.

BEREA, Ohio — Frus-tration got the best of Browns coach Eric Mangi-ni, who now regrets sug-gesting the Detroit Lions faked injuries.

Cleveland dropped a 38-37 heartbreaker in Detroit on Sunday, losing when the Lions scored a touchdown and kicked the game-winning extra point with no time on the clock. The TD was set up by a pass interference call in the end zone against the Browns.

On Monday, Mangini, who didn’t agree with the interference call, also complained about the number of Lions players who had gotten hurt while the Browns were running their no-huddle offense. He didn’t flatly accuse Detroit’s players of fak-ing injuries, but Mangini questioned why so many of them went out with injuries only to return to the game.

During his news confer-ence Wednesday, Mangini said he wasn’t trying to shy away from accountability.

“At the end of the day we’re accountable for los-ing the game and for not making enough plays,” he said. “That’s me, that’s the coaches, that’s the players. That’s what it was. I think I was frustrated with the situation and probably expressed that more than I probably should have, but at the end of the day we’re responsible for it.

“We had plenty of oppor-tunities to win the game and we didn’t. That wasn’t good enough.”

Lions coach Jim Schwartz took offense to

Mangini’s comments, say-ing “he’s way out of bounds on that,” and “that couldn’t be further from the truth.”

Mangini said he spoke with Schwartz, whom he began his NFL ca-reer working alongside in Cleveland under Bill Belichick during the 1990s.

“I talked to Jim for a while,” he said.

“We cleared the air. I like Jim. We’ve always had a good relationship so we talked through that. The bottom line is we didn’t do enough to win the game. Jim and I are fine.”

Mangini backs off injury accusations

Chad Knaus believes he and Jimmie Johnson can continue to add to their championship total for years to come.

But the crew chief first needs a new contract.

Knaus on Wednesday de-nied an ESPN report that he’s agreed to lead Johnson through 2015, the length of Johnson’s new contract extension with Hendrick Motorsports.

Knaus, who has guided Johnson to four straight titles and 47 victories since 2002, is still working under an extension signed in 2006 that runs through next season.

“We’ve only started very light conversations,” Knaus said. “I don’t have a new contract, and we’ve barely had enough conversation for me to agree to any-thing.”

Although Knaus said

it is his intention to stay with Hendrick Motorsports, “you never know what will happen. There are so many what-ifs.”

Knaus began his NA-SCAR career with Hen-drick in 1993 as an original member of Jeff Gordon’s “Rainbow Warriors” crew. He began as an assis-tant in the body shop, worked his way into the fabrica-tion department and even-tually was put in charge of the body development for Gordon’s car. He was also a tire changer on Gordon’s 1995 and 1997 teams.

Knaus left Hendrick after the 1997 season to try to advance his career, working at Dale Earnhardt Inc. as the car chief for Steve Park, then for Ray Evernham when he left

Hendrick to start his own race team. He then spent one season as crew chief for Stacy Compton at Melling Racing.

Knaus returned to Hendrick in 2002 when car owner Rick Hendrick formed Johnson’s new team.

The duo charged out of the gates and has con-tended for the champion-ship every year. Their record-setting string of four consecutive championships began in 2006, and there’s no reason to believe they will let up anytime soon.

Hendrick said Tuesday that he’s working on an extension with Knaus, but “it’s kind of a foregone conclusion between us that he’s going to be here.

“We’ve got to get the paperwork done, but we still have a year and a half left,” Hendrick said. “So it’s something we’re doing. We try to get all our guys in place well ahead of when

the contracts are up. So that’s under way. I plan for him to retire here. I think that’s what he tells me he wants to do.”

Knaus joked after Sun-day’s title-clinching race that he’s not sure what he’ll do if he’s not a crew chief, throwing out a possible stint on “Dancing with the Stars” or opening a scuba shop in the Caribbean.

“I don’t know, man. I don’t know what I’m going to do when I grow up,” he said. “I hope I never have to grow up. I love my job. But I can’t be a crew chief forever. I’ll be honest, I can’t run at this pace for ten more years. It’s impos-sible. But I love what I do. I engulf myself in what it is that I do, and there’s noth-ing I’d rather do.

“I have yet to get out of bed in the morning and not want to go to work, and that’s a fact. In the future, we’re just going to have to wait and see.”

Knaus, Hendrick not close to contract extension

CHICAGO (AP) — Andruw Jones agreed Wednesday to a $500,000, one-year contract with the Chicago White Sox.

Jones hit .214 with 17 homers and 43 RBIs in 82 games with Texas this year while making 53 starts as the designated hitter, 12 in left field, five in right field and four at first base.

A five-time All-Star who has slumped in re-cent years, Jones was re-leased by the Los Angeles Dodgers in January and signed with the Rangers the following month.

He agreed to a $36.2 million, two-year con-tract with Los Angeles in December 2007.

Now 32, he can make an additional $1 million in performance bonuses under his agreement with the White Sox.

“This is an opportunity to add a power bat to

the roster while improv-ing our outfield depth,” White Sox general manager Kenny Williams said. “With the addition of Andruw, Mark Kotsay and Omar Vizquel, we feel our bench is taking shape to be a strong asset heading into the 2010 season.”

Vizquel, a 42-year-old infielder, agreed Mon-day to a one-year deal. Earlier, the White Sox re-signed Kotsay, another utility player who can play the infield and outfield.

Jones is a career .257 hitter with 388 hom-ers and 1,174 RBIs. He earned Gold Gloves in his final 10 seasons with Atlanta while playing for the Braves from 1996-07 and has seven seasons of at least 30 homers, in-cluding a career-high 51 in 2005. He has also had five 100-RBI seasons.

LONDON — Rafael Nadal fell out of conten-tion for a spot in the semifinals at the ATP World Tour Finals with a second straight defeat, losing 6-1, 7-6 (4) to Nikolay Davydenko on Wednesday.

Nadal looked slug-gish throughout and was thoroughly outplayed by the Russian, who secured his first win of the round-robin phase and can still reach the semis. Nadal, however, will not reach the semis for the first time.

Davydenko broke twice in the first set and was up a break twice in the second. Nadal then ral-lied, breaking back both times to carry momentum going into the tiebreaker. However, Davydenko kept his cool and clinched it with a forehand winner on his first match point.

Earlier, Robin Soder-ling became the first player to reach the semis of the season-ending tour-nament by beating Novak Djokovic 7-6 (5), 6-1. The Swede, who qualified for the eight-player tourna-ment only when Andy Roddick pulled out with an injury, also beat Nadal in straight sets.

Davydenko dominated the first set, dictating play seemingly at will and chasing Nadal from corner to corner with his accurate groundstrokes as the Spaniard grew

increasingly frustrated. Nadal slumped his shoulders in despair after double-faulting to go down 0-30 when serving at 4-1, and had a hard time the rest of the set. He didn’t bother chas-ing down Davydenko’s winners in the next game and hardly challenged his serve on set point, letting it whizz by for an ace.

When he went down 30-40 on serve in the first game of the second set, it was enough for some-one in the crowd to yell “Wake up!”

The Spaniard did, but it wasn’t enough.

He held serve and put up a tougher fight for the rest of the set, but Davydenko was simply too good, finishing with 27 winners to Nadal’s 12 — only three of which came in the first set.

Soderling outlasted Djokovic in a tense first set despite wasting three straight set points with the third-ranked Serb serving at 4-5. Djokovic then put up little resis-tance in the second and was broken three straight times, netting a forehand on Soderling’s second match point.

“I won two matches in straight sets against the world No. 2 and No. 3. I couldn’t have asked for anything more,” Soderling said. “So far, I’m enjoying it a lot. But there’s still at least two more matches to go. I hope to do really well in those two as well.”

THE DAILY DISPATCH • THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 2009 • 5B

C M Y K

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Stop and think before you blurt out something that you will regret. Ruining a surprise or letting some-one get wind of your plans will work against you. Small talk will get you past some of the potential mishaps you face. 3 stars

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You have no time to be upset or to get into an argument with someone. Rise above any of the trivial matters that tease your mind. Strive for happy memories and spending time with people who make a difference to your life. 4 stars

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You’ll have to be careful not to of-fend someone with your actions or comments. Partnership problems are likely to develop if you aren’t sensitive to the needs of others. You can find a solution once you recognize the problem. 2 stars

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t waste your talent. If you put it to good use, you will open up a professional opportunity that suits your lifestyle. You can turn your personal life into an asset. Stop daydreaming and start living your dream. 5 stars

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You’ll be tempted to be frivolous and overly generous. Before you rack up bills or make costly promises, consider giving your time and experience instead of your cash. Challenge yourself physically and it will spark new ideas. 3 stars

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Know where you stand financially, emotionally and physically. Budget wisely but don’t go without. You can stretch what you’ve got a lot further than you realize. Good ideas, good timing and a lot of love can conquer all. 3 stars

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Do everything in your power to fix any financial trouble you have. It is important that you take command of the situation immediately. Apply for a better position, pick up a part time job or cut costs at home. 3 stars

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): It’s what you present and offer others that will help you get ahead of the financial rat race. Take more interest in what you do well and you’ll find a solution to subsidize your income. 5 stars

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Before you do something you’ll regret, access your situa-tion and steer clear of becoming the middleman. Picking sides or interfering in any way will backfire. Stay neutral. The less you say, the better. 2 stars

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Do not hold yourself back or reduce your chance to advance because you think you are already out in front. Creative people will jump into the lead if you are lax in your ways. Be ready to take ad-vantage of an unusual opportunity. 4 stars

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Follow your heart. You will instinc-tively take the road less traveled but that’s the one that suits you best. Not everyone will agree with your decisions but once you get started, everyone will rally round. 3 stars

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Your emotions will be difficult to control. Put your emphasis on the people you care most about and you will bypass the troubles erratic behavior can lead to in the workforce. Less talk and more action will be the route to take. 3 stars

DELLA McGHEE WILLIAMSON

(In Memoriam) Friday, 26 November 1909 Monday, 27 November 1989

HAPPY 100TH BIRTHDAY MOM!

--With Love Till We Meet Again,

Your children

Mom, God gave you 80 birthdays here on earth, and 20 with Jesus. Happy birthday in heaven! We were blessed to have you for our Mother. We have many fond memories of growing up on a farm in the country . We treasure the memories of our Thanksgiving

Family Reunions held each year at your home, followed by the celebration of your birthday. What a fun time we did have coming together to celebrate two special occasions.

On 23 Nov 1989, we enjoyed our last Thanksgiving celebration with you. You were the foundation, the rock, the glue that held the family together.

On Saturday night, 25 Nov 1989, we celebrated your 80th birthday one day early by

giving you a catered dinner at Holiday Inn in Oxford, N.C. You looked so beautiful as you posed with each one of your children and their family for a portrait as you received your 80th birthday gifts. You were a wonderful devoted mother, a great cook, a talented seamstress who made our clothes and quilts, a homemaker, a farmer, and a loving and caring wife to our dad, Robert. You never spoke an unkind word about anyone. You

devoted your life to taking care of your family and became our friend and confidant. We thank you, Mom, for always being there for us and for caring.

On Monday, 27 November, 1989, you talked to your sister, Laura, on the phone. You both

agreed that whoever should go first, would tell your Mom and Dad “Hello‚ in heaven.” You were happy and in good spirits as you hung up the phone. Soon afterwards, God

called you home to be with our Dad and your four babies. Twenty long years have passed; we find comfort in knowing we will see you again.

Since you departed this earthly life, your daughter-in-law, Carol, and sons, Richard, Lucius

(Sam) and Robert (Jerry), and your granddaughter, Denise, have joined you there. You and Dad now have seven of your fourteen children with you in heaven, and seven

remain here until God calls us home. Since your departure, Dennis and Linda have been holding our traditional family reunions in their home. We Love and Miss you Mom and Dad, Richard and Carol, Sam and Jerry and sweet Denise! You are always with us in our

hearts and thoughts, especially this time of year.
