RALEIGH — Two North Caro-lina terrorism suspects plotted to kill U.S. military personnel and one of them obtained maps of a Marine Corps base in Virginia to plan an attack, prosecutors said Thursday.
A superseding indictment returned against Daniel Patrick Boyd and Hysen Sherifi is the first time authorities have said the homegrown terrorism ring had specific targets. Prosecutors said Boyd “undertook reconnais-
sance” of the base located about 30 miles south of Washington.
“These additional charges hammer home the grim reality that today’s homegrown terror-ists are not limiting their violent plans to locations overseas, but instead are willing to set their sights on American citizens and American targets, right here at home,” U.S. Attorney George Holding said in a statement.
Authorities have previously said the men went on training expeditions in the weeks leading up to their arrest in July, practic-ing military tactics with armor-
piercing bullets on a property in rural North Carolina. Seven men are awaiting trial in the case, and investigators say an eighth sus-pect is believed to be in Pakistan.
An initial indictment had ac-cused the men of plotting interna-tional terrorism and conspiring to support terrorism, and investiga-tors have said some of the men took trips to Jordan, Kosovo, Pakistan and Israel “to engage in violent jihad.” There was never any sign that the suspects had considered any targets in the United States.
The new indictment adds
charges for conspiring to kill military personnel. It also adds weapons charges for Boyd, Sherifi and Zakariya Boyd.
Prosecutors say Daniel Boyd, a drywall contractor and the father of suspects Zakariya and Dylan Boyd, was the ringleader of the aspiring terrorist group. In lengthy speeches at his home south of Raleigh, he decried the U.S. military, discussed the honor of martyrdom and bemoaned the struggle of Muslims, according to audio tapes played during a detention hearing in August.
The FBI has said agents
seized some two dozen guns and more than 27,000 rounds of ammunition from Boyd’s home. The superseding indictment says Boyd possessed the armor-piercing ammunition “to attack the Americans,” according to the U.S. attorney’s office in Raleigh. Prosecutors did not immediately release the complete indictment and did not explain Sherifi’s role in planning to kill military personnel.
Attorneys for Daniel and Zakariya Boyd and Sherifi did not immediately return calls seeking comment.

RALEIGH — North Carolina is already seeing one of the most active flu seasons in recent record keeping, an early indication of how widespread the swine flu pandemic could become.
Dr. Zack Moore, a respiratory disease epidemiologist for the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, said officials were prepared for a spike in flu cases but were surprised at how quickly the numbers climbed.
The number of reported flulike patients has spiked since the be-ginning of the school year, officials said.
“You don’t like to see a curve go-
ing up that steeply,” Moore said.For three consecutive weeks,
health providers have been re-porting that more than 5 percent of patients have influenza-like symptoms.
Those figures rival the peak of other flu seasons during this decade.
During the week ending Sept. 12, nearly 7 percent of people who sought care at facilities in the health reporting network had flulike illnesses, defined as a fever of at least 100 degrees along with a cough or sore throat. That was up from less than 2 percent just two weeks prior. Of available figures dating back to 2001, only one other week recorded a higher percentage of sick patients — a
week in December 2003 at the height of that winter’s exhausting flu seasons.
North Carolina is asking clini-cians to submit samples of flu cases only when the patient re-quires intensive care, a push that allows the state lab to focus on the critical issues.
The state had previously gath-ered samples for all people that were hospitalized.
Most of the flu cases confirmed in lab tests have been the swine flu, according to the state.
The flu problem appears to be radiating out of the South with the start of the school year. Now, nearly half of states have “wide-spread” flu activity, according to the CDC.
Moore said the flu is difficult to predict, and health officials aren’t sure whether flu reporting levels are going to stay elevated or whether the data shows a temporary peak. The seasonal flu typically peaks during the middle of winter.
“It’s not unexpected,” Moore said. “We are in a pandemic.”
Health officials are preparing to distribute a swine flu vaccine in the coming months, first target-ing health workers and high-risk groups such as young children and pregnant women.
Health fficials have also said that many people will do well without the vaccine, noting that most people infected have mild ill-ness and recover by themselves.

Mexican Antonio Ocampo, 30, a recently deported migrant from Seattle, waits Thursday for a chance to cross to U .S . near the U .S .-Mexico border fence in Tijuana . U .S . authorities shut down the nation’s busiest border crossing on Tuesday after federal agents fired shots at three vans filled with illegal immigrants whose drivers tried to storm past inspectors, officials said.

You could see farmers’ market fever spread quickly Thursday among the Plan-ning and Environmental Committee’s three county commissioners.
It didn’t take long for Danny Wright and Chairman Dan Brummitt to begin shar-ing Terry Garrison’s vision of Vance having a scaled-down version of the open air mar-ket enjoyed by residents of Charleston in South Carolina.
Garrison had nothing but praise for the event which includes the sales of produce, crafts and other items found in the world of agriculture.
Pete Burgess of the Vance County Farm Bureau estimated that a suitable building for a local farmers’ market would cost $400,000.
The commissioners agreed to recommend that their board appoint a committee to help get grants for the project and to find a location for the market.

Construction of Vance County’s proposed water district would begin Feb. 1 of 2010 under a progress schedule that the Plan-ning and Environmental Committee will recommend Oct. 5 to the Board of Com-missioners.
Other steps would include:
• Appoint from Oct. 5-19 a citizens’ advisory com-mittee to obtain sign-ups on a local level. It would report to County Manager Jerry Ayscue.
• Send out water bills on Oct. 1 to Phase 1A service area residents at the begin-ning of mass mailings of sign-up forms that will stop on Oct. 15.
If approved, the con-tracts would specify estimated monthly rates of $35 to $45 for 5,000 gallons of water.
• Start conducting sign-up drives on Oct. 15 in public meetings at locations in Phase 1A and door-to-door. Participation is not mandatory.
• Door-to-door surveys for sign-ups will be done by members of the Citizen Advisory Committee and possibly part-time hired staff. They will take place from Oct. 15 to Nov. 30.

NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. — Labor commissioners from 18 states — in-cluding North Carolina — urged the U.S. Senate on Thursday to act im-mediately to extend unemployment benefits for 300,000 people who will exhaust theirs in another week.
“We’re here because we are fac-ing an unemployment crisis of epic proportions,” said New York Labor Commissioner M. Patricia Smith, surrounded by counterparts from around the country. “Families are suffering. Unless further action is taken, more suffering is on the horizon.”
The group urged the Senate to follow the House’s lead and agree to give the jobless in states with unem-
ployment rates topping 8.5 percent an additional 13 weeks of benefits. The immediate effect would be to keep help flowing to 300,000 of the 400,000 people whose benefits would stop this month. Through the end of the year, it would protect more than 1 million people.
“These are not faceless people,” said Stephen Geskey, director of the Unemployment Insurance Agency in Michigan, where unemployment is 15.2 percent, the highest in the nation. “They are our mothers, our fathers, our brothers, our sisters, our sons and daughters. My staff ... are already receiving calls from desper-ate people wondering, ‘What are we going to do next?’”
The labor officials were in Ni-agara Falls for the annual meeting of the National Association of State
Workforce Agencies, whose leader-ship passed a resolution seeking even broader extensions of benefits as a way to keep the unemployed from ending up on welfare.
“The cost then will shift from the federal government to the state and local governments, and we know how difficult times are,” Smith said.
The resolution asks Congress to eventually expand the 13-week extension to all states and pro-vide a 20-week extension for high unemployment states. It also would preserve through 2010 the $25 that was added to people’s weekly unem-ployment checks by the stimulus act passed last February.
Said Keith Kelly, commissioner of the Montana Department of Labor

A new feature this year was the silent auction, sponsored by the Extension Volunteer Association to fund its scholarship fund.

Ayscue told the three commissioners Thursday that negotiations are going on with the USDA Rural Center for grants and loan rates for all phases of the project.
Design work on Phase 1A, which is Sandy Creek, has been completed, ac-cording to Tim Carpenter of the engineering firm of Hobbs, Upchurch & As-
sociates of Pinehurst.“We’re now at the junc-
ture where sign-ups are what we need,” he added.
Fred Hobbs, the princi-ple partner in the compa-ny, told the Commission-ers that the USDA Rural Center is eager to hand out grants to qualifying coun-ties wanting to undertake proposed projects such as theirs because of a recent shortage of applicants.

John Lasky, 48, of Lewis-ton, north of Buffalo, said his unemployment check has allowed him to keep his home since losing his job as
a district manager last No-vember. Despite being will-ing to accept a job that pays considerably less than the more than $50,000 he was earning before, the father of two said the competition for work is fierce.
The recession, which be-gan in December 2007, has eliminated a net total of 6.9 million jobs and an average
of six unemployed workers are competing for every job, according to government data.
“There are so many qualified, good, hardwork-ing people out there,” Lasky said, “and you’re going against all of them.”
The unemployment rate is now 9.7 percent, and economists see it topping 10
percent next year.The 18 states seeking
immediate extensions of unemployment benefits are Arizona, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Washington and Wisconsin.

Cowell: Pension funds investor didn’t resign
RALEIGH (AP) — The chief investment officer of North Carolina’s public pension funds was removed from her job after she chose not to resign her post man-aging $60 billion.
The State Treasurer’s Office disclosed the informa-tion Thursday in response to a public records request about last month’s depar-ture of Patricia Gerrick.
Treasurer Janet Cowell’s office said Aug. 25 Gerrick had resigned after five years on the job. But a Sept. 9 memo by Cowell said she removed Gerrick because Gerrick decided in early September not to resign.
Cowell’s memo doesn’t
provide specifics about why she removed Gerrick, who couldn’t be reached for com-ment Thursday.
Gerrick made $340,000 a year, making her among the highest paid employees in state government.
E-mail reminds N.C. troopers to behave
RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina officials have sent an e-mail to the state’s Highway Patrol employees reminding troopers that behavior on- and off-duty reflects on the organization.
WRAL-TV reported that the secretary of crime control and public safety and the commander of the High-way Patrol sent the e-mail Wednesday to the agency’s more than 1,800 state
troopers and 300 civilian employees.
Troopers have been demoted or fired in the past two years for drunken driv-ing, profiling young women for traffic stops, having sex on duty and animal abuse.
The e-mail advises that an organization can be judged by the acts of a few and that employees should be “morally and ethically beyond reproach.”
The e-mail is signed by Secretary of Crime Control and Public Safety Reuben Young and Col. Randy Glover.
Currituck looksto limit tours
CURRITUCK (AP) — Tours of off-road areas of some parts of North Caro-
lina’s Outer Banks face the possibility of more regula-tions in Currituck County.
The Daily Advance in Elizabeth City reported Wednesday that commis-sioners voted to restrict businesses that provide the tours. The plan allows com-missioners to set a maxi-mum number of vehicles for each tour operator, set their hours of operation and limit the duration of their permit.
The amendment increas-es the fine for violations from $100 to $500.
Residents of off-road ar-eas had complained about vacationers crowding roads and blocking driveways. They say visitors also get too close to Corolla’s wild horses, despite a require-ment that people stay at least 50 feet away.

‘I don’t feelold ... I don’tthink old’
By SAMANTHA HENRyassociaTeD press WriTer
PARSIPPANY, N.J. — Astrid Thoenig got dressed, went to work and sat at her desk smiling Thurs-day as she slid her finger gently under the envelope flap of yet another identical birthday card. They don’t make that many that say “Happy 100th.”
Thoenig was interrupted by a steady stream of deliv-erymen bringing bouquets, chocolate-dipped strawber-ries and stacks of cards to the Thornton Insurance Co. in Parsippany where she’s been answering phones, keeping financial records, handling payroll and typing up documents for more than 30 years.
“It’s another day — it’s hard to explain,” Thoenig said of turning 100. “I don’t feel old, and I don’t think old.”
Born Sept. 24, 1909, in Bloomfield, N.J., Thoenig’s earliest memories start in 1918, when she witnessed something so traumatic, “it erased all memories of my childhood before that.”
“I remember coming down the stairs from my bedroom and saw these two coffins in the living room: one white, for my sister, and the other for the grown person,” she said, recall-ing how the flu pandemic of 1918 killed her father and her 10-year-old sister within hours of one anoth-er. “To see my father and sister — of all the things I can’t remember — that’s very vivid in my mind.”
Thoenig, her remaining sister, and her mother also
were infected but survived. Her mother lived until 101 and her sister, who suffered permanent hear-ing loss from the illness, was 95 when she died. A few years ago, scientists tracked Thoenig down and took blood samples from her as one of the few remaining survivors of the pandemic of 1918-1919 that killed an estimated 30 million to 50 million people worldwide, including thou-sands in New Jersey.
As Thoenig turns 100, her grandson, 43-year-old Peter Thornton, said she couldn’t have picked a bet-ter era.
“If you had to pick a dramatic century to live, it has to be Astrid’s,” he said. “The invention of the au-tomobile and the airplane, television and computers, the moon landing and two world wars. 1780 to 1880 would have seen changes from a musket to a rifle.”
Thoenig says “thinking young” has helped her take a century’s worth of techno-
logical changes in stride. The daughter of Swedish immigrants, she credits her strong constitution, a won-derful family and getting up every day to get dressed and go to work with keep-ing her mind sharp.
Thoenig once sewed all her own clothes and still dresses elegantly, accenting with gold jewelry, colorful glasses and a full head of blond hair that makes her look decades younger. Her strong, agile hands come from a lifetime of typing, knitting and embroidering.
Married twice — her first husband died from injuries that earned him a Purple Heart in World War II — Thoenig started working shortly after high school, and has held positions at banks, lawyer’s offices and for the borough of Caldwell.
Her current job is her fa-vorite — working alongside her son, John Thornton, and grandson Peter at the family-owned insurance company.
“I’m 67, and one of our
jokes is: ‘How can I retire before my mother does?’” John Thornton said. He says his mother is a me-ticulous worker, reviewing contracts, preparing the payroll, making sure bills are paid, and is always pleasant company.
Thoenig credits her son for giving her the job, tak-ing her to work — although she still drove until age 98 when a botched hip opera-tion made it difficult to get around — and always be-ing patient.
The growing stack of birthday cards may have identical motifs, but the messages inside them each touched her in their own way. Some, sent by people she’s never met, were from seniors who continue to work and are inspired by her example: “I’m at my job 37 years and still love it,” someone wrote.
She took special delight in a bouquet from her dentist with the message: “This is only the begin-ning!”

ROME (AP) — Here’s an-other of the Mafia’s trademark offers-you-can’t-refuse: pay or be eaten by a crocodile.
Italy’s anti-Mafia police unit said Wednesday it has seized a crocodile used by an alleged Naples mob boss to intimidate local businessmen from whom he demanded protection money.
Officers searching for weap-ons in the man’s home outside the southern Italian city last week found the crocodile liv-ing on his terrace, said police official Sergio Di Mauro.
The crocodile, weighing 88 pounds and 5.6 feet long, was fed a diet of live rabbits and mice, Di Mauro said.
He said the suspect, an al-
leged boss in the Naples-based Camorra crime syndicate, used to invite extortion vic-tims to his home and threaten to set the animal on them if they didn’t pay or grant him favors.
The man was not arrested but placed under investiga-tion for illegal possession of an animal, Di Mauro said. Investigators are also working on extortion charges against him.
Di Mauro said the animal is believed to be a caiman, a species that lives in Central and South America, and it is not yet clear how it got to Italy. The crocodile was placed in the care of Italy’s forestry service.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Two of the nation’s larg-est power generators said Thursday that they plan to begin switching their company cars and trucks to plug-in hybrid vehicles or all-electric vehicles starting Jan. 1 to help cut greenhouse gas emissions.
The commitment by Charlotte, N.C.-based Duke Energy and Juno Beach, Fla.-based FPL Group Inc. represents more than 10,000 vehicles and potential revenue of $600 million or more for manufacturers.
The goal is that by 2020, 100 percent of all new fleet vehicles will be plug-in
electric vehicles or plug-in hybrid vehicles.
The companies say plug-in cars will reduce carbon emissions by up to 70 percent — 100 percent if a vehicle is charged by zero-carbon renewable energy sources — and lower fuel costs by 80 percent.
They say it also will help jump start the mar-ket for these vehicles.
“We should work togeth-er. We benefit the same way,” FPL Vice President Chris Bennett said.
He said electric vehicles will provide lower-cost transportation and move the country away from dependency on foreign oil.
The companies made the announcement during the annual meeting of Clinton Global Initia-tive, started by former President Bill Clinton that brings together the public and private sector to dis-cuss solutions to problems in four areas — climate change, poverty, global health and education.
Duke has 4 million electric customers in five states and FPL is the parent of Florida Power & Light, which has 4.5 mil-lion customers in Florida.
Duke shares were up 7 cents to $15.79 in trading Thursday morning. FPL shares rose 3 cents $53.90.

Polling places have been established in Warren and Vance counties for the Nov. 19 N.C. Tobacco Research Check-Off Referendum, Paul McKenzie, Agricul-tural Extension Agent, announced.
The polling locations are Warren County Extension Center, 158 Rafters Lane, Warrenton, and Vance County Extension Center, 305 Young St., Henderson.
McKenzie explained that the referendum is being held to let tobacco growers
decide if they wish to con-tinue the self-assessment program. This program has been in place since 1991, and the law requires that a new referendum be held every six years.
A two-thirds favorable vote will mean that grow-ers are willing to continue to assess themselves to support tobacco research and education. The as-sessment is 10 cents per hundred pounds of tobacco produced in North Caro-lina.
The check-off funds, about $300,000 annually, are collected at buying sta-tions by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services and then allocated by the N.C. Tobacco Research Commission to support research and Extension projects for tobacco at N.C. State University.
For more informa-tion on the referendum and projects funded by the check-off, visit http://www.cals.ncsu.edu/

WASHINGTON (AP) — Home resales dipped last month after a four-month streak of gains, providing evidence that the housing market recovery remains fragile.
The National Association of Realtors said Thursday that sales dropped 2.7 per-cent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.1 million in August, from a pace of 5.24 million in July. Sales had been expected to rise to an
annual pace of 5.35 million, according to economists sur-veyed by Thomson Reuters.
Nationwide sales are up nearly 14 percent from their bottom in January, but are still down nearly 30 percent from their peak nearly four years ago. For the housing market to stabilize, Yun said, sales would need to rise to a pace of around 5.5 million to 6 million per year.
If buyers see clear evidence of stable prices, the housing
market recovery can be self-sustaining, Yun said, adding, “We are not there yet.”
The median sales price was $177,700, down 12.5 percent from $203,200 in the same month last year.
In one positive sign, the inventory of unsold homes on the market fell to 3.6 million, from 4 million in July. That’s an 8.5 month supply at the current sales pace, and the lowest level in more than two years.

JACKSONVILLE (AP) — A former Camp Lejeune Marine charged with killing his wife calmly told 911 dis-patchers that he had written a suicide note but was unable to kill himself.
In the recording released Wednesday — the same day that he was discharged from the U.S. Marine Corps — former Cpl. Cody Daniel Richardson also answers a dispatcher’s questions and follows her instructions on what to do when police arrived. The 22-year-old from Wolfeboro, N.H., was ar-rested Monday and charged with first-degree murder in the slaying of his wife, Jessy.
Richardson tells the dispatcher the suicide note describes what happened to his wife.
But Richardson said he was unable to kill himself. “I was going to follow through on it last night, but I just couldn’t bring myself to do it,” he tells the dispatcher.
When police responded to Richardson’s call, they found him waiting outside his apartment and his wife dead in the bedroom. A death cer-tificate by the Onslow County
medical examiner says Jessy Richardson died of asphyxia-tion due to strangulation.
Cody Richardson was calm throughout the call, staying on the phone with the dis-patcher until police arrived. After the dispatcher advises him to leave through the front door, he tells her that he is walking down the stairs and, when she asks, describes what he’s wearing — “all blue and a striped shirt.”
In a second 911 call released Wednesday, a man who identifies himself as being in the military with Richardson, said Richard-son came to his house and confessed to the crime.
“I don’t know if he’s joking or if he’s telling the truth, but he has completely freaked me out and told me that he has killed his wife,” the caller said. “He had this note that appeared to be a suicide note, saying that he did it and that he had strangled her.”
The caller continued: “He said he wasn’t joking, and I said, ‘Just get out of my house,’” the caller continued.
Jessy Richardson’s death and her husband’s arrest shocked his family.
“Everything’s a mystery to me right now,” Cody Richardson’s father, Dan, told the New Hampshire Union-Leader late Tuesday night. “I’m blown away. It doesn’t make sense.”
Richardson’s father told the New Hampshire news-paper that the couple visited about a month ago and there was no indication of any prob-lems between them.
“I know he loved her. They seemed very happy together,” Dan Richardson said.
He told the Union-Leader that Cody Richardson had lost several friends in Iraq and suffered close calls himself, but his son didn’t say anything that made him think there was something wrong.
Sara Lauer, Jessy Rich-ardson’s mother, told the New Hampshire’s WMUR-TV that she doesn’t want Cody Richardson to serve prison time if he is found responsible in her daughter’s death. She said that he needs help.
Richardson, whose next court appearance is sched-uled for Oct. 13, is in jail under a $1 million bond.

The battle against breast cancer continues today and Saturday with “Cruizin’ for a Cure.”
A joint project of the Instruments of Shining Hope Cancer Ministry of South Henderson Pentecostal Holiness Church and Maria Parham Medical Center Oncology Center, the battle begins at 3 p.m. today when two Henderson policemen are “jailed” for 24 hours and have to raise their own bail. The “cell” will be located at the City Operations Center on Beckford Drive, which will be the location for Saturday’s events.
The benefit continues Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. with raffles, games, food and music.
The policemen, Lt. Charles Pul-ley and Detective Kendall Riddick, will use their cell phones to call for help. According to Pulley, the pair of Henderson’s finest want to raise
$3,000 each.Other activities for the day in-
clude:• The firemen’s pink boot drive
from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Firemen will take donations at various intersec-tions in the city.
• Dunk a fireman. The dunking booth will be open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
• Generator raffle by the Vance County Sheriff’s Office.
• Fire engines will be on dispaly.• Enter for a chance to win a re-
cliner donated by Sams Furniture.• Raffle for a chance to ride along
with a deputy.• Bid for a chance to shave the
head of Emergency Operations Di-rector Brian Short.
Music will be provided by Steve Wilson of Wildlife Entertainment.
According to organizers, proceeds from the benefit will be used to raise awareness and funds for breast
cancer prevention, detection and support.
Sandra Currin, president of the church group, said the goal is $10,000, a portion of which will be used to provide mammograms for women who cannot afford them.
Cash will be accepted during the benefit, and checks should be made to the Maria Parham Health Care Foundation.
Another battle against breast cancer is the Second Annual Bike Ride on Saturday, Oct. 3, from Maria Parham Medical Center to the church. Registration will be from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m., with the ride from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Entry fees for the ride are $20 per bike or $25 for bike and rider. The fees ibnclude a pork barbecue dinner.

storage equipment maker EMC Corp. said it will add about 400 jobs, build a new research center and expand existing operations in North Carolina if it re-ceives expected incentives.
Gov. Bev Perdue’s office said Thursday that EMC was offered up to $7.4 million in state incentives over nine years if the data storage technology provid-er creates the jobs, invests
$280 million, and pays wages averaging more than $73,000 per year.
The project still depends on approval of local grants from Durham city and county officials.
Massachusetts-based EMC plans a new research facility in Durham County and to expand a research facility in Research Tri-angle Park and a manu-facturing plant in Apex, in Wake County.

I sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed. This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.

“Those who used to chastise America foracting alone in the world cannot now stand by and wait for America to solve the world’s problems alone. Now is the time for all of us to take our share of responsibility for a global response to global challenges.” — President Barack Obama, addressing a packed U.N. General Assembly hall.
“We are right in themiddle of anunprecedented financial and economic crisis.We are on the thresholdof a planetary ecological disaster. We must right now invent a new world where the follies of yesterday will no longer be possible.” — French President Nicolas Sarkozy, in his speech to the U.N. General Assembly.
“It gives me cautious optimism about the possibility of improving this result and developing a more effective AIDS vaccine. This is something that we can do.” — Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases in a telephone interview after the announcement that an experimental vaccine has prevented infection with the AIDS virus.
letters tO the eDitOr
The Hill — a news organization covering Washington politics — reports this week that President Obama would be “happy to look at” bills coming before Congress that would give struggling news organizations a tax break if they would restructure as nonprofit businesses.
Dubbed the “Newspaper Revitalization Act,” so far only Sens. Ben Cardin and Bar-bara Mikulski — both Maryland Democrats — have signed on.
Obama has said that good journalism is “critical to the health of our democracy.” And he’s right.
Michael Reagan — in a column pub-lished by this newspaper — has questioned whether profitable newspapers are neces-sary to this country’s democracy. There is no question about it; they are.
But it is not government’s responsibility to ensure a newspaper’s profitability. And there isn’t a newspaper in America that should take government bailout money to survive — though we can’t guarantee that all newspa-pers would refuse such cash.
Frankly, it would be impossible for a news organization to convince the public of its jour-nalistic independence on one hand if it has the other hand extended toward Uncle Sam.
That actually doesn’t appear to be the angle that Cardin and Mukulski have taken with their bill. Their legislation appears directed at assisting newspapers in becoming a localized, dead-tree version of National Public Radio — in it for information, but not for profit.
We’re not sure what newspaper company would be interested in accepting tax credits in exchange for becoming a nonprofit entity.
Or, if a company did bite at that apple, whether you could really trust that organiza-tion’s “nonprofit” status.
Tippy won’t diet without a fightThe Eaves household
doesn’t awaken to a rooster’s crow, or to the repetitive ring of an alarm clock.
We have Tippy.Imagine a ham, with four
small sticks protruding from its underside, all covered in white fur, plus whiskers and pointed pink ears. Aesthetical-ly speaking, you have Tippy.
Tippy was born late one January evening in a Carolina blue clothes hamper, inside Mama’s and Daddy’s bedroom closet. The faint meows of Tippy and the other kittens of her litter awakened my par-ents with smiles — and some late-night washing of clothes.
There’s always one in every litter whose tiny paws push aside all siblings as — eyes still glued shut from birth — the hungry one horns in for seconds before the oth-ers have finished their firsts. Tippy was that kitten. The result was a round, “about-to-pop” belly, the type that
often sends kittens tumbling because their weak, newborn legs are unable to hold up the heap.
Tippy’s belly, 13 years later, is still out of propor-tion, just as it was in her kitten days.
Said one visiting family member, “That cat should be walked on a
leash daily!”“Do you think Tippy swal-
lowed a large hairball?” asked another.
Due to such uproar, Tippy was placed on a diet — which has become the object of her feline fury.
Now, Tippy is fed twice daily. The diet, so far, has
been unsuccessful.Thus, the wake-up calls.A recent morning’s wake-up
call was 2:30. The hungry cat, climbing the steps to Mama’s bedroom, began her scratchy, deep meow — the type of sound you’d expect from a lifelong cigar-smoker.
Succumbing to Tippy’s cries, Mama gave her a spoon-ful of diet cat food as a snack and returned to bed.
But Tippy did not rest.By 4:30, Tippy’s big belly
was again her compass, guid-ing her to Mama’s bedside. A sleepy Mama, hoping Tippy would leave the bedroom if ignored, watched the white mound of fur try to leap onto the bed. With a failed attempt, and Tippy’s claws stuck in the mattress, an exasperated Mama relented, this time giv-ing Tippy her breakfast.
Tippy’s diet has raised a moral dilemma for the Eaves household. Tippy’s health has been the primary factor in
controlling her eating habits. Mealtime surveillance is now mandatory to ensure Tippy doesn’t eat the mama cat’s food, as well, which our family came to realize was a contrib-uting factor in Tippy’s obesity.
Yet, Tippy’s a cat. And Tippy is old. And if Tippy lives for her dinner, it’s shameful to suddenly halt her normal buffet-style banquet. With the love of food the women of my family share, the term “man-datory diet” is synonymous with “fighting words.”
Cats are wise creatures, and with such early morning wake-up calls, Tippy just may regain her old eating habits. If so, the Eaves household will either invest in a rooster or a new alarm clock.
But for now, we’ll just de-pend on meows.

Afterthoughts from Obama’s United Nations address
It was the most Obamaesque address to date.
“For those who question the character and cause of my na-tion,” the president pronounced Wednesday, “I ask you to look at the concrete actions we have taken in just nine months.”
America is 233 years old. Some think that there are ample accomplishments speak-ing to our character and cause that predate Obama’s ascen-sion to the presidency.
Feh, Obama seems to be saying. Look instead to our new greatness, for we have elected a man like him!
Having anointed himself America’s vindicator and re-deemer, Obama’s real purpose seems to be to become the leader not of the free world but, simply, the world.
“No world order that elevates one nation or group of people over another will succeed,” Obama said. “No balance of power among nations will hold. The traditional divisions between nations of the South and the North make no sense in an interconnected world; nor do alignments of nations rooted in the cleavages of a long-gone Cold War.”
The United Nations is an odd venue to say such things. The Security Council is premised on nothing if not a balance of power, and the U.N.’s roots go nowhere if not deep into the chilled soil of the Cold War. It is odder still for the president of the United States of America to say such things. Is NATO — currently fighting what until recently Obama defined as a “war of necessity” in Afghani-stan — now obsolete? What do the South Koreans or the Japa-nese think of such rhetoric?
More important, our allianc-es weren’t merely the balanc-ing of power, they represented a contest of values. The Cold War was informed by America’s principled support for free
nations over tyrannical ones. Compromises were made, to be sure, but our values were never abandoned.
The president’s defenders say that there is realpolitik behind the U.N. boilerplate,
that he is pursuing America’s interests even if he sounds like he’s agreeing with our en-emies about pre-Obama America’s flaws. Spe-cifically, they argue that he is laying the neces-
sary groundwork to contain and isolate Iran, coaxing the Rus-sians into a new round of sanc-tions against the Iranians. If he succeeds in that regard, Obama should be congratulated.
The problem with this analy-sis, however, is that most of what Obama said Wednesday was a repeat of what he has said many times before, on the campaign trail, in Berlin and in Cairo. He has said this stuff so often, some might be forgiven for thinking they are more than just words.
The greatest danger, Obama declared in Berlin, is not terror-ism or global warming or even nuclear war. No, the “greatest danger of all is to allow new walls to divide us from one an-other.” This week he rehashed the same rhetoric. “The time,” Obama assured us again, “has come for those walls to come down.”
Walls often exist for a good reason. They mark clear lines between peoples and nations. The Berlin Wall was not built by us, but by those who could not tolerate liberty. It is good that it came down with our victory in the Cold War. But it
would have been better to keep it up than lose that struggle.
Of course, Obama’s objec-tion isn’t to physical walls but figurative ones. His real point is that the cult of unity that marked the worst excesses of his presidential campaign should go global. “Old argu-ments are irrelevant to the challenges faced by our people,” he says. Rather, “the interests of nations and peoples are shared.”
The problem with this no-tion of shared interests is not that it’s untrue, but that it’s a half-truth. Some interests are shared, others not. It was in Poland’s interest for us to honor our commitment on missile defense. Obama concluded that it was better for us to appease Russia’s interests.
A core attitude unites Obama’s domestic and foreign-policy visions: Principled disagreements are not legiti-mate if they do not conform to the president’s agenda, be it on health care domestically or global warming and nuclear disarmament internationally. Call it a progressive version of “if you’re not with us, you’re against us.”
According to Obama, a highlight in his nine months of redemptive accomplishments was his decision to join the Hu-man Rights Council, a corrupt, farcically bureaucratic carbun-cle designed to vilify Israel and whitewash the abuses of evil regimes. Critics say we should not lend it more authority. But by Obama’s logic, such concerns are rooted in old arguments and ancient, irrelevant cleav-ages.
Meanwhile, 53 paragraphs into a 63-paragraph speech, Obama said that we should not view the principles of democ-racy as an afterthought.

Editor’s note: Recently the manager of a Bank of America branch in Gaffney, S.C., cited corporate policy in refusing to allow American flags to be planted along the route that a fallen Marine’s casket would be taking to a local cemetery. The decision has prompted an outcry and backlash against Bank of America, and the corporation has apologized for what it calls a “terrible mistake.”
Consider flagincident before banking with BoA
To the editor:
For an organization such as Bank of America to re-fuse to fly our sacred Unit-ed States flag for a fallen Marine serving our country to protect the freedom we have and enjoy every day, is despicable and disgrace-ful to every member of our armed forces, our veterans, and to the citizens of this country. This bank does not deserve the business of a single American citizen.
As the mother of a U.S. Marine who is leaving on his fourth deployment, three in Iraq and this one to Afghanistan, I could only wish that the employee of Bank of America whose de-cision not to fly our flag in honor of this fallen Marine would have to serve beside these service men everyday and experience the danger and sacrifices they make just for our freedom.
Our brave men leave behind their families, miss the holidays with them, live in substandard conditions, risk their lives, and are will-ing to give their life as this Marine did, only to have the despicable Bank of America refuse to honor him with such a small show of respect as flying our flag.
May you people who have accounts with Bank of America stop and think what a disgraceful organi-zation you are dealing with and realize there are re-spectable banks that would welcome your business.

UNITED NATIONS — Pressure deepened against Iran on Thursday when the world’s eight top eco-nomic powers gave Tehran until year’s end to cease enriching uranium or face new sanctions, but resis-tance from China could undermine the effort.
Washington has been pushing for heavier sanctions if Iran does not agree to end enrichment, which many nations be-lieve is part of Tehran’s drive to build a nuclear weapon. Iran says its nuclear program is designed to generate electricity.
The U.S. hand was strengthened Wednesday when Russian President Dmitry Medvedev suggest-
ed he could now back such sanctions if they became necessary.
But, the prospects of pushing a new sanctions resolution through the Se-curity Council were under-cut Thursday when China, one of the veto-wielding permanent members, rejected the idea.
Instead, more diplo-matic efforts are needed, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu told reporters in Beijing at a news conference, reiter-ating a long-held stance.
Current U.N. sanc-tions on Iran are meant to prohibit exports of sensi-tive nuclear material and technology.
They also allow the in-spection of cargo suspected of carrying prohibited goods, tighter monitoring of financial institutions and the extension of travel bans and asset freezes if linked to its nuclear program.
Iranian President Mah-
moud Ahmadinejad, in his Wednesday speech to the General Assembly, did not mention the nuclear matters issue and the push by the U.S., Britain and France for heavier sanctions.
On Thursday, Italian Foreign Minister Franco Frattini said the Group of Eight nations has given Iran until the end of the year to commit to ending uranium enrichment if it wants to avoid new sanc-tions.
Frattini, who’s nation holds the rotating chair of the club of wealthy na-tions known as the G-8, said that member foreign ministers agreed Wednes-day night “to give Iran a chance.”
But Frattini said that the informal agreement will be re-examined each month, “And after the end of December, I strongly hope we will have at that time practical moves from Iran.”
“That’s why together we decided — while not ex-cluding further measures, as even Russia apparently said — we have to give Iran a serious chance,” he said.
“If we give a chance, let’s give a chance. Don’t, I would say, immediately put another option on the table. This would be counterproductive to the eyes of our counterpart. This is our strategy for the moment.”
The maneuvering comes ahead an Oct. 1 meeting of diplomats from Iran, the U.S., Britain, France, Russia, China and Ger-many on Tehran’s nuclear program.
The key to new sanc-tions would require agreement among all five permanent Security Council members. The United States, Britain and France lean toward more sanctions. Russia now ap-pears open to the measure, but China still is refusing.
Beijing is heavily reliant on Iranian oil imports.
“We believe we need to help Iran to take a right decision,” Medvedev said Wednesday night after he met President Barack Obama on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assem-bly.
The U.S., Britain and France all mentioned Iran, along with North Korea, as obstacles to a safer world during a Security Council meeting Thursday that approved a U.S.-drafted resolution that commits all nations to achieving a nuclear weapons-free world.
The resolution does not mention any country by name but it reaffirms previous resolutions that imposed sanctions on Iran and North Korea for their nuclear activities. It did not call for any new sanc-tions.
Since Iran’s nuclear program was discovered seven years ago, it has
put thousands of centri-fuges online to churn out enriched uranium. But the International Atomic En-ergy Agency says the more than a ton of enriched material it has amassed is all below the 5 percent level and well below the 20 percent highly enriched mark.
Still Iran’s accumula-tion of well over (2,200 pounds) of low-enriched uranium gives it more than enough material to produce enough weapons-grade uranium through further enrichment for one nuclear weapon.

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — International royalties from Bob Dylan’s first Christ-mas album will be donated to the World Food Program to feed hungry people around the world, the U.N. agency announced Thursday.
“Christmas in the Heart” will be released Oct. 13, Co-lumbia Records has said.
Every 25 cents that goes to the World Food Program can buy a cup of porridge for a school child at a time when hunger threatens the lives of 108 million people world-wide, a spokesman for the U.N. agency said.
Dylan had previously an-nounced that U.S. royalties would go to the American organization Feeding America. It is estimated that will help feed 1.4 mil-lion U.S. families during the holidays.
All international royal-ties in perpetuity will go to the World Food Program, the U.N. group said, except for British royalties, which will go to the relief agency Crisis UK.

Geithner: G-20 near agreement on bankers’ payBy TOM RAUM
associaTeD press WriTer
PITTSBURGH — Struggling with a conten-tious issue, world lead-ers have reached basic agreement on limiting the bonuses of bankers whose risky behavior contributed to the global financial meltdown, Treasury Sec-retary Timothy Geithner said Thursday at a sum-mit of the world’s largest economies. In the streets outside, protesters tussled with police on the opening day.
At a news conference, Geithner also expressed optimism that summit partners would endorse the broad outlines of a U.S. proposal to deal with huge imbalances in the global economy such as large trade surpluses in China and record budget deficits in the United States.
He also said the U.S. supports China’s efforts to gain greater voting rights in the International Monetary Fund over the reservations of European nations, who would lose influence.
Given the rise of China’s economic powers, “it’s the right thing,” and Europe recognizes that, Geithner said.
World leaders descend-ed on the comeback city of Pittsburgh to debate how to nurture a recover-ing but still-wobbly global economy.
Nerves are still on edge, but this summit of the world’s 20 leading econo-mies seems free of the cri-sis atmosphere that hung over the past two — de-spite the clashes between protesters and police.
The treasury secretary said the G-20 countries had reached a consensus on the “basic outline” of a proposal to limit bankers’ compensation by the end of this year.
He said it would involve setting separate standards in each of the countries and would be overseen the Financial Stability Board, an international group of central bankers and regulators.
Until now, European countries had pressed harder than the U.S. for limits.
“We want to have very strong standards to limit the risks that compensa-tion practices” encourage, Geithner said.
The issue of compensa-tion has been one of the more difficult ones facing the summit.
Europeans in particular pressed for strict limits on salaries and bonuses for executives of financial institutions to keep them from being rewarded for
the risky practices that contributed to the finan-cial crisis.
“Europeans are horri-fied by banks, some reliant on taxpayers’ money, once again paying exorbitant bonuses,” said European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso. Insisting “this is not a witch-hunt against bank-ers,” Barroso said the EU was urging G-20 partners to stop the pay practice, “building on measures already taken in Europe and elsewhere.”
The U.S. favors some
restrictions but did not want numerical limits and wanted them linked to the health of the companies involved.
Geithner said that on
Friday, the concluding day of the summit, “you will see a really far-reaching, pretty detailed set of stan-dards.”
He said that summit
partners “made it clear that we are going to move in each country to put in place the mix of regula-tions, laws, advisory mea-sures that are necessary to give those standards force.”
The treasury secretary also reported progress in getting G-20 nations to go along with President Barack Obama’s proposal to move toward eliminat-ing government subsidies on fossil fuels such as oil, coal and natural gas that contribute to global warm-ing.
Obama, who arrived from U.N. meetings in New York at mid-after-noon Thursday, chose Pittsburgh as the summit site because the formerly struggling Rust Belt city has transformed itself eco-nomically into a rebound-ing, environmentally conscious community with a diversified economy.
It is the third time
within a year that the G-20 leaders have met to deal with the global finan-cial meltdown.
Protests notwithstand-ing, the atmosphere is a lot more relaxed than at the fear-driven ses-sions in Washington last November and in London in April. Still, the global recovery remains fragile, with many big financial institutions under strain.
British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, speaking with reporters in New York before heading to Pittsburgh, said he hoped the group would agree to a new compact on jobs and growth.
He warned, as Presi-dent Barack Obama has, that nations should not move to quickly to end low-interest rates and stimulus spending pack-ages.
“The recession is not au-tomatically over,” Brown said.
SANTA BARBARA, Ca-lif. (AP) — Authorities say an arrest warrant has been issued for actor Randy Quaid and his wife claim-ing they skipped out on a $10,000 hotel bill in Santa Barbara County.
Sheriff’s spokesman Drew Sugars said Thurs-day the Quaids aren’t in custody and detectives haven’t been able to inter-view the actor.
He says the warrant for Quaid and his wife Evi set bail at $20,000 each. The felony warrant is for burglary, defrauding an innkeeper and conspiracy.
The department isn’t releasing other details.
A message left for Randy Quaid’s commercial agent, Steven Arcieri, was not im-mediately returned.

dear abby
DEAR ABBY: Our son, “Philip,” has been married for two years. He recently in-formed his wife, “Karla,” that one of his co-workers — I’ll call her Sarah — is pregnant with his child. Philip says he still loves Karla and wants to stay together, but he feels an obligation to the other child. Karla is now pregnant with their first baby.
The problem is, Philip is spending most of his time at Sarah’s home caring for her, and very little time with his wife.
My wife and I don’t know how we should handle the relation-ship with the two grand-children. What are our obligations to each? Should we treat them both the same? By the way, my wife and I have never met Sarah. — DOUBLE-WHAMMIED IN PENN-SYLVANIA
DEAR DOUBLE-WHAMMIED: None of this is the fault of your grandchildren, so think with your hearts and treat them equally.
Forgive me if this seems pessimistic, but from your description of your son’s behavior, I seriously doubt that his marriage to Karla is going to last. So don’t worry about not having met Sarah. If he continues to spend the lion’s share of his time with her, the chances are good that you’ll be seeing quite a bit of her in the future.
DEAR ABBY: “Robert”
and I have been married for 10 years. A few months ago I discovered that he’d had an affair. He says it was because he felt I didn’t love him anymore and we weren’t communicating. I have never stopped loving him.
The funny thing is, I felt the same way he did — upset that he was spending more time away from home. We’re now trying to work things
out, but it’s hard for me. I keep learning more informa-tion about their relationship, and it breaks my heart all over again. I know who she is and what she looks like.
I’ll be seeing this woman at a bridal shower soon, and later on this fall at a wed-ding. Robert says she doesn’t know what I look like. I am tempted to pretend to be someone else and quiz her about their relationship.
I’m just so lost. I want to let all of this go and move on, but I haven’t been able to. How do I handle the upcoming events with her? I love Robert, and he’s trying to make things right. — BROKEN AND LOST IN ILLINOIS
DEAR BROKEN AND LOST: Are you masochistic? You know about the affair; you and Robert are trying to work things out. So quit digging because whatever you unearth will only prolong your pain and insecurity. Your time would be better spent on improving the level of communication you have with your husband. And if you’re afraid you’ll fall apart or do something inappropri-ate at the sight of his former love, then my advice is to skip the festivities.
DEAR ABBY: Dinner
guests customarily bring gifts of wine to their hosts. The host offers wine with the dinner.
If a second bottle is desired, which wine would be used -- more from the host or is it better etiquette to open and serve the gift wine? — BILL IN BEND, ORE.
DEAR BILL: It is not considered a breach of etiquette to keep the gift wine for use at another time, and the guest who brings it should not expect it to be served. (The same goes for candy and nuts, which are also popular house gifts.)

BIDDEFORD, Maine — Two co-workers who discov-ered this summer that they are long-lost brothers and who reunited this week with their two half sisters have a new surprise — a half brother has surfaced.
George Pomeroy of Bid-deford, Maine, told WCSH-TV on Thursday that he shares a father with Randy Joubert and Gary Nisbet. He said the men lived with his family as youngsters before they were taken by the state and adopted by different families about 35
years ago.Joubert told The Associated
Press that Pomeroy presented documents that prove their relationship. He said Pomeroy was the last sibling on his “search list,” so any others who might come forward would be more closely scrutinized.
Nisbet spent seven years as a furniture mover for a local bedding retailer when he was joined by new colleague Joubert, who looked so much like him that customers asked whether they were brothers. After checking their original birth certificates, they realized they were.
After the men’s story was
publicized, half-sister Joanne Campbell showed up. While appearing with her brothers on the “Today” show on Tuesday, Campbell said a long-lost sis-ter was still unaccounted for. Kathleen Cooper called NBC after watching the show from her home in Sarasota, Fla., and appeared on the show Wednesday for a surprise reunion with her siblings.
The co-worker brothers share a mother with the
women; the sisters aren’t related to Pomeroy.
The siblings have plans to get together soon and will likely share a Thanksgiving meal, Joubert said.
Joubert said he’s grateful to have a grasp on his family’s medical background.
“For the first time in my life, when the doctor says, ‘What is your medical history?,’ I can finally give them an answer,” he said.
Co-worker brothers discover 4th sibling

The men who work together discovered they are brothers who were each raised by separate adoptive parents. randy searched the state database in January to find out about his birth parents and was told that he had a brother, but he was only given a first name for his sibling.

OXFORD — Down two sets to none, North-ern Vance rallied to force a fifth set against J.F. Webb Thursday night, but the Vikings came up short in the final frame.
The Warriors rode strong net play from De-vonte Reese and got two big blocks from Alyssa Blair in the fifth set to win 15-12 in a heated match between the two conference rivals.
“I think they played hard, they played tough, they blocked. They did everything they needed to do to really pull it out,” said Webb coach Rheta Burton. “But I’m telling you, if it’s going to be like this for the rest of the season, I don’t know if I’ll be able to survive.”
“I think I lost five pounds just yelling and screaming.”
After a strong start to the season, Northern now sits at 0-4 in Carolina 3A Conference play.
“The last three times out, especially the last two times out, we’ve just got beaten down,” said Hoyle. “And I think, coming out here, we’ve
forgotten what it takes to win — the intensity that it takes, and the enthusiasm.”

GLENDALE, Ariz. — The Phoenix Coyotes asked Wayne Gretzky to be the face of their franchise.
They only want Dave Tippett to be their coach.
Hours after Gretzky abruptly resigned Thursday amid the financial turmoil surrounding the team, the Coyotes replaced him with Tippett, the for-mer Dallas Stars coach.
They hope Tippett will have more success than Gretzky, whose four-year tenure was marked largely by on-ice futility.
Coyotes general manager Don Maloney had been preparing for Gretzky’s departure, which had been rumored as the bankruptcy court battle between Canadian billionaire Jim Balsillie and the NHL over the sale of the team dragged on. In a sign of his estrangement from the club, Gretzky announced his resigna-tion on his Web site, with no im-mediate comment from the team.
“This was a difficult decision that I’ve thought long and hard about,” Gretzky said. “We all hoped there would be a resolu-tion earlier this month to the Coyotes ownership situation, but the decision is taking longer than expected.
“Since both remaining bidders have made it clear that I don’t fit into their future plans, I ap-proached general manager Don Maloney and suggested he begin looking for someone to replace me as coach. Don has worked hard and explored many options. I think he has made an excellent choice, and so now it’s time for me to step aside.”
Gretzky, who was due to make $8.5 million this season, coached the Coyotes from 2005-2009, fin-ishing with a 143-161-24 record, and the team missed the playoffs in all four seasons. Gretzky, 48, also owns a small piece of the franchise.
Gretzky steadfastly main-tained that hockey could thrive in Phoenix, a place where ice is more common in margaritas than skating rinks.
But the empty seats in Jobing.com Arena and minuscule televi-sion ratings have told a different story — as did the absence of a local bidder in the auction for the team.
The Coyotes may have seen Gretzky as an icon who would

Kerr-Vance’s cross country team ran at the Wake Med Soccer Park in Cary Thursday, in a meet sponsored by Cary Christian.
Seven schools competed, including some Eastern Plains Independent Conference teams.
St. David’s took first in boys’ competition with a score of 31. They were followed by Cape Fear (51), Cary Christian (63), KVA (96), Grace Christian (108), and Arendell Parrott (107).
Cary Christian’s girls took first with a score of 33, fol-lowed by St. David’s (51), Cape Fear (71), Grace Christian (88), Rocky Mount Academy (95). KVA competed, but does not have enough girls to con-stitute a team.
John Allen was the top Spartan finisher. He finished 18th overall, with a time of 21:10.
Jake Dorrance (25th overall with a time of 22:07), Devonne Smith (28th, 2:25), Justin Commee (30th, 22:42) and Dalton Crews (34th, 23:15) round out the top five Spartan finishers.

Gamecocks upset No. 5 Rebels, 16-10By PETE IACOBELLI

COLUMBIA, S.C. — Missis-sippi wasn’t ready for the Top 5 — or South Carolina’s defense.
Star passer Jevan Snead was hounded all game and the fourth-ranked Rebels never got in gear, losing to South Carolina 16-10 Thursday night.
South Carolina (3-1, 1-1 Southeastern Conference) had been 1-31 all-time against Top 5 foes, but left Williams-Brice Stadium with the biggest win of coach Steve Spurrier’s five seasons.
Spencer Lanning kicked three field goals and fullback Patrick DiMarco a key 2-yard TD catch for the Gamecocks.
Ole Miss (2-1, 0-1) had one last chance at a go-ahead TD that would’ve extended its eight-game winning streak. But Snead was sacked by Cliff Mat-
thews, then had a fourth-down pass knocked away by Darian Stewart.
The Rebels began the day with their highest ranking in
nearly four decades. But they lost their SEC opener for the sixth straight season — and will likely drop down the polls once the new rankings come out.
The Gamecocks jumped around when the game ended, celebrating a victory these play-ers had never enjoyed before at their own stadium. South Carolina’s lone top-5 win came at North Carolina in 1981.
Snead came into the sea-son with a Tim Tebow-like buzz — Spurrier even voted him preseason first-team SEC quarterback before changing to Tebow.
Snead, though, flopped in front a national audience eager to see what the Rebels were made of.
The Ole Miss senior missed six straight throws during one stretch and only once came through with a critical play. His 45-yard TD pass to Markeith Summers with under 10 min-utes left in the game that cut it to 16-10.

brought Northern to within three at 13-10, and an Emily Ellington kill made it 20-18. But Webb held onto the lead for the entire set and won 25-20.
Set two was a back-and-forth affair, with the teams trading points throughout. The score was tied 11 times.
Northern led by three at 12-9 — their biggest lead of the set. Webb tied it at 13, and took over the lead at 17-16.
With the score tied at 23, Webb reeled off the next two to take a big two-set advantage.
“I felt like the first two games we waited to see what they were going to deal to us rather than just take it to them,” said Hoyle. “Finally we got over the hump and actu-ally started playing some pretty good ball.”
Northern began to get a little momentum in set three, opening with a 6-3 lead after a Robin Butler kill. Webb rallied to tie it at 12, and took the lead on the next point.
Two straight Thompson kills gave the Vikings a 17-15 lead. Webb tied it again at 20, but a 5-1 Northern rally won the
set 25-21 as the Vikings began their comeback.
The fourth set belonged to the Vikings. A 7-2 lead grew to a 15-9 advantage. A Reese kill lowered the deficit to two at 18-16, but Northern had the edge the entire set, winning it 25-22. Ellington had five kills in the set.
Northern’s momen-tum carried over into the beginning of the final set, and they scored the first five points.
But Webb scored the next four, prompting Hoyle to call a time out. The first of Blair’s blocks tied it at six, but Northern broke serve on the next point.
A Thompson kill was answered by a kill from Reese, putting the score at 9-8 Northern. Reese’s block on the next point tied it up, and Webb won the next volley to take the 10-9 lead.
Up 13-12, Webb closed it out with a kill from Kiana Morton and Blair’s final block for game point.
“They went out guns blazing in the first two games. Second two games, I think they were get-ting them just a little tired. They were starting
to make some careless mistakes out there,” said Burton.
Northern will be look-ing for their first confer-ence win when they host rival Southern Vance Tuesday.
“I can guarantee you emotions are going to be running high on both teams. That’s a key match,” said Hoyle. “We’ve got to win these close matches. We went five with Orange and didn’t win. At least this one, we were close. I thought we gave it all we had.”
Burton said her team needs to work on hold-ing on to the momentum when they have it.
“You win two games, you’ve got to put it away
in the third. That’s some-thing we definitely have to work on.”
Webb hosts Franklinton Monday before travel-ing to Cardinal Gibbons Tuesday.

KU hoopes players apologize for fights
LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Kansas basketball coach Bill Self says fights that erupted between his players and members of the Jayhawk football team are an embarrassment to the university.
Self and a few of his players met with report-ers Thursday afternoon for the first time since the brawls Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning.
Basketball guard Tyshawn Taylor hurt a finger in the fights and will be sidelined for up to a month.
Self says the fighting was a negative note in a great start to the school year.

CHARLOTTE — The Charlotte Bobcats came to terms late Thursday with free agent guard Ronald “Flip” Murray on a one-year, $1.99 million deal.
Agent Mark Termini said Murray chose the Bobcats after also hav-ing discussions with the Cleveland Cavaliers. He averaged 12.2 points last season coming off the bench for the Atlanta Hawks, and gives coach
Larry Brown more op-tions in the backcourt.
Termini said the 6-foot-3 Murray will sign with the Bobcats this weekend for the NBA’s biannual exception and be at train-ing camp next week.
The move gives the Bobcats a versatile vet-eran who can play both guard positions.
Brown was looking for someone who could play point guard behind Raymond Felton and D.J. Augustin and could also score off the bench. Charlotte ranked last in
the league in scoring last season.
The agreement comes a day after Felton signed a one-year, $5.5 million qualifying offer after talks on a long-term contract broke off. Felton is expected to start the season as the top point guard. Augustin, the No. 9 pick in the 2008 draft, is his backup.
Murray, the first free agent signed by Charlotte this offseason, could also spell shooting guard Raja Bell, who was slowed by injuries late last season.
The 30-year-old Mur-ray has averaged 9.9 points in seven previous NBA seasons with Mil-waukee, Seattle, Cleve-land, Detroit, Indiana and Atlanta.
He’s a career 42 percent shooter and last year shot 36 percent from 3-point range.
Murray will join a team that went 35-47 last sea-son in Brown’s first year in Charlotte. The Bobcats’ biggest offseason move was to trade Emeka Oka-for to New Orleans for center Tyson Chandler.

promote hockey in the desert. But Gretzky was never much of a presence in the Phoenix sports scene, and he virtually disappeared after owner Jerry Moyes filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in May.
Gretzky’s father, Walter, said he spoke to his son Thursday and said he felt sorry for Wayne because he’s caught in the middle.
“No matter what hap-pens, they’ll say it was all because of Wayne,” Walter Gretzky told Hamilton’s CHCH News. “Everybody has to find a fall guy and they’ll point their finger at Wayne even though he had nothing to do with this.”
Walter Gretzky said his son plans to spend time with his family and take a break from hockey for now.
NHL commissioner Gary Bettman praised Gretzky’s efforts and said the league hopes Gretzky will have a prominent role with the Coyotes if the NHL’s bid for the team is successful.
Gretzky was nowhere to be found when Tippett, decked out in a brick-red Coyotes warmup suit, was introduced at a news conference.
Maloney said he had a “first inkling” in June that Gretzky might not return as coach. Maloney said he decided to pursue Tippett, who had been fired by the Stars in June despite making the Stanley Cup playoffs five times in six seasons.
“I probably spent all of June and July trying to figure out how I could convince (Tippett) to come here,” Maloney said.
Maloney said the
Coyotes signed Tippett to a four-year deal — a contract that makes him perhaps the most stable piece in the organization. Financial terms weren’t disclosed.
The 48-year-old Tippett went 271-162-59 in six seasons with the Stars.
Captain Shane Doan said news of Gretzky’s resignation “was definitely a surprise.”
“I’m not angry,” Doan said. “We’re moving on. Everyone realizes that this situation’s unique. People are saying, ’Well, this should have been done, that should have been done.’ It’s such a unique situation where he’s part of management, he’s part of an ownership group, it’s in bankruptcy court. I mean, everything is so con-voluted that nobody really knows what’s going on.”
Gretzky is the leading scorer in NHL history, but he brought little of his magical on-ice form when he moved behind the bench.
Gretzky’s tenure as coach began in 2005-06 and was marked by turmoil.
The Coyotes went 38-39-5 in his debut season, winning 16 more games than in the previous sea-son. The team was 36-36-5 with Gretzky on the bench; he missed five games for family reasons.
It was a trying year for Gretzky. His mother, Phyllis, and grandmother, Betty Hockin, both died during the season.
Assistant coach and friend Rick Tocchet was arrested for allegedly run-ning an illegal sports gam-bling ring. The scandal touched Gretzky when it was revealed that his wife, Janet, had placed bets.
GRETZKY, from page 1B
South Carolina’s de-fense had to come through after that because the offense, which controlled things for much of the first three quarters went three-and-out on its final four possessions.
Snead’s 11-yard pass to Pat Patterson brought Ole Miss to the Gamecock 32 with 2:55 to play. Then coach Houston Nutt tried to outfox South Carolina.
A carry by Brandon Bolden out of the “Wild Rebel” package went for a yard. A double reverse to Dexter McCluster lost 4 yards.
Matthews followed with his sack of Snead before Stewart preserved the win by batting down the final pass.
Snead had thrown at least two TD passes in each of his past eight
games. He finished this game 7 of 21 for 107 yards.
Right from the start, Snead and the Rebels looked tight. They had only four drives in the opening half, three that ended without a first down.
Eric Norwood ended the Rebels’ first drive with his school-record 27th sack.
Snead passed for just 30 yards as the Rebels were outgained by South Caro-lina 181-71 in the first 30 minutes.
Bolden appeared to get things going with a 59-yard touchdown run. A holding penalty, however, brought that back and the Rebels eventually settled for their only points of the half on Joshua Shene’s 42-yard field goal.
Mississippi came close to scoring just once more,
but instead of another field goal, Nutt went with a fake. Holder Justin Sparks’ pass to Derrick Davis came up 2 yards shy of a first down.
The Gamecocks had more plays and more yard-age. They, too, though had trouble finding the end zone.
Stephen Garcia fumbled away one drive after a sack on Ole Miss 16 in the first quarter. An illegal shift on the Rebels’ 4 led to Lanning’s first field goal.
Freshman receiver Tori Gurley caught Garcia’s pass and took it in for a 12-yard score right before halftime. But South Caro-lina was flagged for an ineligible receiver down-field. Lanning converted a 20-yard field goal to put the Gamecocks ahead 6-3 at the break.

Tigers 6, Indians 5CLEVELAND (AP) —
Justin Verlander pitched the Detroit Tigers closer to a division title and pushed the Cleveland Indians within one loss of match-ing a franchise record for futility with a 6-5 win on Thursday night.
Verlander (17-9) struck out 11 in seven innings and Carlos Guillen had three hits and an RBI as the Tigers handed Cleveland its 11th straight loss. The Indians haven’t dropped 11 in a row since setting a club record with 12 con-secutive losses in 1931.
With the win, Detroit moved three games ahead of the idle Minnesota Twins in the AL’s Central Division.
Athletics 12, Rangers 3OAKLAND, Calif. (AP)
— Jack Cust homered to help rookie Brett Anderson win his fourth straight start, Cliff Pennington hit a two-run triple and the Athletics salvaged a split of their four-game series against Texas.
Anderson (11-10), who has struggled for run support much of the year, allowed three runs, one earned, and six hits in 5 2-3 innings. He improved to 8-3 over his last 16 starts.
Mariners 5, Blue Jays 4TORONTO (AP) — Felix
Hernandez had a season-high 11 strikeouts, Josh Wilson hit a tiebreaking two-run triple in the eighth
inning for Seattle.Hernandez (17-5) al-
lowed four runs, three earned, and seven hits in eight innings to improve to 5-0 with a 1.57 ERA in his last six starts.
Franklin Gutierrez hit a two-run homer for Seattle, which has won six of eight.
Wilson gave the Mari-ners a 5-3 lead with a two-out triple to right off left-hander Jesse Carlson (1-6), scoring Adrian Beltre and Bill Hall.

— David Ortiz homered and drove in three runs, and Clay Buchholz took a shutout into the seventh inning to help Boston move closer to the postseason.
Jacoby Ellsbury had four hits and two RBIs, Victor Martinez extended his hit-ting streak to 23 games and Dustin Pedroia pushed his to 16 games, moving Boston within four games of clinch-ing the AL wild card.
Royals starter Anthony Lerew (0-1) had a solid return to the majors. Back from Tommy John surgery, the right-hander Lerew allowed two earned runs — four total — on seven hits in 4 2-3 innings.
Buchholz (7-3) has so-lidified his spot in Boston’s postseason rotation, going 6-0 over his last eight starts after an uneven start to the season.
He allowed five hits and struck out eight in 6 2-3 innings.

NL Roundup
Dodgers 7, Nationals 6WASHINGTON (AP)
— Rafael Furcal hit a go-ahead homer in the eighth inning Thursday night, and the Los Angeles Dodg-ers beat Washington 7-6 to hand the Nationals their 100th loss of the season.
Furcal’s drive off Ron Villone (4-6) was his fourth hit of the game. Ramon Troncoso (5-4) pitched 1 1-3 innings to get the win, and Jonathan Broxton finished for his 36th save.
The win reduced the Dodgers’ magic number to one for clinching a playoff berth.
The Nationals, who were 59-102 last season, are the first NL franchise to lose 100 games in consecutive seasons since the San Diego Padres, who dropped 102 in both 1973 and 1974. In five seasons in Washington, the Nation-als already have matched the number of 100-loss
seasons the franchise had during its 36 seasons as the Montreal Expos — and that includes the forma-tive 110-loss season as an expansion team in 1969.
Padres 5, Rockies 4DENVER (AP) — Nick
Hundley homered to start the comeback and drove in the tiebreaking run with an eighth-inning single off Rafael Betancourt, and San Diego dealt the NL wild card-leading Rockies a disheartening loss.
The Rockies’ cushion in the wild-card race was trimmed to 3 1/2 games over idle Atlanta, and the San Francisco Giants had a chance to cut their deficit to three games. They played the Chicago Cubs on the West Coast on Thursday night.
Joe Beimel (1-6) took the loss for Colorado, allowing one run while getting just two outs, and Adam Rus-
sell (3-1) retired the only batter he faced to pick up the win.
Rookie right-hander Luke Gregerson got five outs for his first career save in six chances.
Phillies 9, Brewers 4MILWAUKEE (AP) —
Jimmy Rollins capped a six-run fifth inning with a three-run homer and Ryan Howard drove in two runs to help Philadelphia rookie J.A. Happ earn his 11th win.
Pedro Feliz had three hits, scored twice and drove in a run for Philadel-phia, who amassed 14 hits and reduced their magic number to clinch the NL East to four.
Howard came into the game an RBI be-hind Prince Fielder, who entered with 131, for the major league lead, but he drove in Chase Utley with two outs in the first
and added another in the eighth.
Fielder hit a run-scoring grounder in the bottom of the ninth to tie the slug-gers at 132.
Reds 4, Pirates 1PITTSBURGH (AP) —
Bronson Arroyo limited Pittsburgh to one run over seven innings and the Reds completed their second sweep of the plum-meting Pirates in less than a month.
Joey Votto had a two-run double following Drew Sutton’s RBI double in a four-run third inning against Charlie Morton (4-9) as the Reds won their eighth in a row against the last-place Pirates.

ATLANTA (AP) — Sean O’Hair knew he would need some help from Tiger Woods to win the FedEx Cup. He got more than he expected.
And it was about put-ting, not points.
Woods and O’Hair prac-ticed together on the back nine at East Lake on the eve of the Tour Champion-ship, and O’Hair sought some advice on his putting from the world’s No. 1 player, regarded as among the best in golf with the putter.
Woods suggested that O’Hair open the face of the club on the way back so that he could release the blade through the ball. It paid off Thursday when O’Hair made enough putts for a 4-under 66 and a one-shot lead over three players — including Woods.
“I’m going to go chew him out right now,” Woods said.
Woods was joking, for it is typical in this sport for players to help each
other even as they’re tried to beat each other. O’Hair is the first to concede that his putting has held him back in his five years on tour, and he wasn’t afraid to ask.
“I believe in what he said, and I think it’s the key for me to kind of take my putting to another level,” O’Hair said. “Get-ting advice like that from good players is obviously awesome, but getting it
from basically the greatest of all time is pretty cool.
“I mean, I’m his compe-tition, for him to help me out like he did was very classy, I thought.”
The tip didn’t take overnight, but it was good enough on greens that were far more firm than any of the 30-man field could have imagined after so much rain in Atlanta over the last week.
Woods recovered from a shaky start with three birdies over a four-hole stretch on the back nine for a 67, putting him one shot behind with Padraig Harrington and British Open champion Stewart Cink.
Only eight players man-aged to break par in the final FedEx Cup playoff event, with a $10 million bonus going to the winner. O’Hair is the No. 7 seed, meaning he would have to win the Tour Champi-onship and have Woods finish in a three-way tie for second or worse.
So far, so good. And so much golf left to be played.
O’Hair could only imag-
ine what it would be like to try out his putting tip on the 18th green Sunday with a chance to go home with $11.35 million, the combined earnings of the FedEx Cup and Tour Championship.
“If I do have that op-portunity, I hope I have a five-shot lead,” he said.
Woods doesn’t regret giving O’Hair the putting advice.
“It’s very simple,” Woods said. “You always help your friends. Sean is a friend of mine, and like all my friends, you always try to make their life better somehow. Sean has been struggling a bit on the greens this year, and I thought I could of-fer a little bit of help and insight to how he could change that.”
Woods, who is in the best shape to capture the FedEx Cup as the No. 1 seed, could have used some help early in the round. As O’Hair, Har-rington and Cink were set-ting an early pace, Woods was headed in the wrong direction by failing to save par from a bunker on the
par-3 sixth, and making bogey on the eighth from the rough to go 1 over.
He was six shots behind at one point, then closed quickly.
“This golf course, you have to be very patient, especially with greens this firm,” Woods said. “It’s really hard to get the ball close unless you drive the ball in the fairway and have a short iron in.”
U.S. Open champion Lucas Glover had a 68, and only three other players managed to break par — Retief Goosen, Steve Marino and Dustin Johnson, who were at 69. Stricker, the No. 2 seed, was among those at 70.
It was hard to believe that a course that was closed Monday and part of Tuesday because of 20 inches of rain over the past week could deliver some of the firmest greens on tour this year. At-tribute that to a sub-air system on the greens installed last year, and a hot sun that left players reaching for towels to wipe sweat off their brow.
“The course was playing
fairly long, and then the greens are just incred-ibly firm, probably the most firm we’ve played all year,” O’Hair said. “Maybe The Players Champion-ship is a close second. Kind of ironic since we got so much rain.”
O’Hair was sporty from the rough, too. He made his first birdie with a wedge out of the rough on No. 3 that stopped a foot away, then made another birdie at No. 12 under similar circumstances, from the right rough with just enough spin to stop 2 feet from the hole.
Cink narrowly made the 30-man field at No. 26 and the scenarios are too many to count for him to win the FedEx Cup. All he cared about Thursday was breaking par, like so many other players.
“Under par ... the golf course, considering all that rain we had, it’s really dried out, and the greens are like bricks,” he said. “You have to be very smart coming into the greens to give yourself any kind of aggressive birdies.”

Sean O'Hair tips his cap after completing his first round of the Tour Championship at the East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta Thursday.
By AARON BEARDap sporTs WriTer
CHAPEL HILL — T.J. Yates doesn’t have to guess whether his young receivers are doing their homework as they try to grasp North Carolina’s offense. The proof is tacked up on a door inside the Kenan Football Center.
“We’ve got sign-up sheets to see who’s watch-ing film,” the quarterback said. “Last week we had to add three extra sheets to the door because there were so many people watching film in the wide receivers’ meeting room. That’s definitely an en-couraging thing to see.”
It hasn’t taken long for the results to show on the field, either. Two strong performances from Erik Highsmith and a long touchdown catch from Jheranie Boyd has allowed the No. 22 Tar Heels to turn their most glaring weakness of the preseason into reason for optimism heading into this week-end’s trip to Georgia Tech.
“They’re still a work in progress,” coach Butch Da-vis said. “They’re starting to scratch the surface, but it’s going to be every single week (that) they’ve got to continue to grow.”
Highsmith has been the quickest study. The true freshman came through with several key catches in the comeback win at Connecticut, then followed with six catches for 113 yards and a touchdown in last weekend’s win against East Carolina.
Boyd, also a freshman, contributed with a juggling 59-yard TD catch in that game, while junior Greg Little has 15 catches for 135 yards in the first three games. Those numbers aren’t anything like what the Tar Heels (3-0) had last year in Hakeem Nicks, Brandon Tate and Brooks Foster, but they’re a good start.
“I think they’re just starting to mature and get more comfortable,” Georgia Tech defensive coordinator Dave Wommack said. “You notice Highsmith and the way he’s come on. I think (Yates) was more comfort-able back there (against East Carolina). I know they have a lot of talent. They’re developing real nicely.”
The Tar Heels knew they would have to find someone to fill the shoes of
their departed NFL trio. Nicks was a first-round NFL draft pick with 1,222 yards receiving and 12 touchdowns; Tate was a third-round pick despite going down at midseason with a knee injury; and Foster was a fifth-rounder. That left tailback Shaun Draughn as the leading returning receiver with 16 catches for 81 yards and a score, while Little had 24 career catches while split-ting time between running back and receiver.
Three games later, Highsmith — a soft-spo-ken kid who looks younger than his 18 years — is run-ning with the confidence befitting a go-to veteran.
He made his biggest plays against the Pirates in the fourth quarter of a one-possession game. First, he took a quick out from Yates and sprinted 43 yards for first down. Two plays later, Yates rolled to his left and found Highsmith again for a 10-yard gain and another first down that ultimately led to the game-clinching touchdown.
“It’s a big transition from high school football,” Highsmith said. “Just learning the plays takes a toll on you because they threw so much at us during the summer and training camp. But I’m pretty sure I’ve got most of it down.
Just don’t expect the Tar Heel coaches to overly patient. When asked how understanding he’ll be when players make youth-ful mistakes, receivers coach Charlie Williams put it bluntly: “We’re understanding to the fact that two drops in the same game means it’s time for somebody else to be in there.”
The Tar Heels have several other options, in-cluding freshman Joshua Adams and converted run-ning back Johnny White, a junior. North Carolina also figures to get a boost this weekend with the expected return of Dwight Jones, a talented sophomore who was expected to start op-posite Little for the opener before being sidelined following surgery on his right knee.
Whether Highsmith stays in a leading role or another youngster steps up, the Tar Heels are hop-ing the result is the same: namely steady, consistent production.

”“Answer here:
Today’s answer
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Theone you love needs no changing orimproving. And even if he or she did,you wouldn’t be the one to do it.Knowing that you’re only responsiblefor yourself makes you feel happyand free.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Youwant to be nurtured and cared for,but you don’t want to be mothered.Sweetly draw the boundaries or en-force the ones you have already. Itmay feel uncomfortable to speak up,but it’s better that you do.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’llreturn to friends, be warmly received,and it will feel like coming home. It’snice to belong somewhere in this bigcrazy world, and you’re so loved thatyou belong in many places.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Peo-ple have always described you as asocial butterfly, but now you are a so-cial falcon! Your wit and observationsare especially keen, and a key eventpresents you with the perfect oppor-tunity to show your stuff.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Be carefulwhat you wish for today. What ap-pears on the outside to be a dreamlife may indeed be very difficult to livefor reasons you cannot know untilyou’re on the inside. Stay groundedin your values.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Aloved one’s health will change for thebetter. Good news is easy to share,and this is one time when you enjoybeing the messenger. Take advan-tage of the opportunity to reach outto those you haven’t talked to in awhile.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’refinancially responsible and stable onyour own. And yet, you could benefitgreatly from partnering up withsomeone on equally solid ground.Keep your eyes peeled — a potentialinvestor is in your midst.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Turnthat cell phone off, and don’t be tooquick to return your calls. It’s also notnecessary to explain where you’vebeen and what you were doing. A lit-tle mystery around you keeps thingsinteresting.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).You long to be listened to. It’s been awhile since a selfless person gaveyou undivided attention because heor she was genuinely interested inwhat you had to say. A new friend willfulfill this role.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).Hopefully you are in a competitivemood, because there are a lot ofpeople around you who want thesame thing you do. By the end of theday, the prize will go to the one whodoesn’t settle for less.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).Something that happens at a socialgathering could produce a small riftbetween you and your partner. It’seasily remedied. You weren’t at fault,but that doesn’t matter. A small ges-ture will go a long way.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Youappreciate honesty in others. Youreact to whatever they deal you in astraightforward, non-emotional way.People want to be around you be-cause you make them feel that theycan be how they really are.
