LOUISVILLE, Ky. Flat Out
is taking Scooter Dickey places
the 70-year-old trainer has never
been. Hes hoping their next
trip is to the winners circle af-
ter the $5 million Breeders Cup
Classic.
Flat Out is the best horse of
Dickeys nearly 50-year career
and the first to win a Grade 1
stakes for him. He came to
Dickey as a promising 2-year-
old in 2008, and the trainer has
seen Flat Out through a history
of foot problems to reach North
Americas richest race.
It hasnt really sunk in yet,
Dickey said, standing inside a
stall piled with bags of feed.
Come Saturday, Ill get nerv-
ous about the time we start put-
ting the saddle on.
Dickey will have family and
friends on hand Saturday at
Churchill Downs, where hes
based. Dana, his wife of 48
years who has an incurable liver
disease and has waited years to
receive a transplant, will gather
her strength to attend.
At 6-1 on the morning line,
Flat Out earned a spot in the
Classic by winning the $750,000
Jockey Club Gold Cup at Bel-
mont last month over Drossel-
meyer and Stay Thirsty, two of
the 11 horses hell face in the
1
1
4-mile race.
Flat Out has been one of the
most consistent handicap
horses in the country this year,
finishing first or second in five
of his six starts. He lost to filly
Havre de Grace (another Clas-
sic contender) in the Woodward
Stakes and finished second to
Tizway in the Whitney Hand-
icap at Saratoga.
Its obvious the affection
Dickey has for the horse that
has gotten him to some of the
biggest races at Belmont, Sara-
toga, Churchill Downs and Oak-
lawn Park in Arkansas. Like a
proud parent, he shows visitors
a cell phone photo of Flat Out
in his stall holding a newspaper
in his mouth with the horses
picture on the front from Sara-
toga.
Hes younger today than hes
been in 10 years, trainer and
longtime friend Larry Jones
said. He has more bounce in
his step. Hes got the bigger
smile. I am so tickled for Scoot-
er.
In a sport rife with jealousy,
Dickey is well-regarded for his
perseverance and hard work
during a career in which hes
never had a horse in the Triple
Crown races and only now has
one in the season-ending Breed-
ers Cup.
I told him, Enjoy the ride
and have your wife dress you so
you look presentable, joked
Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne
Lukas, a friend since their days
running horses at bush tracks in
Kansas and Nebraska.
Dickey is from tiny Anthony,
Kan., where he was named
Charles at birth before his fa-
ther dubbed him Scooter be-
cause he scooted rather than
crawled.
A friends uncle who was a
trainer first put Dickey on
horses at the half-mile track in
Anthony and he began riding in
races at 12. Eventually, he grew
too heavy to be a jockey. He
graduated from high school and
went to college in between
working nights at a Boeing fac-
tory.
I couldnt work indoors,
Dickey said, citing his reason
for taking out his trainers li-
cense in 1963.
In recent years, Dickeys sta-
ble twice dwindled to one horse
and he was forced to take a job
as a farm manager to pay the
bills.
Then along came Flat Out,
who was included in a group of
2-year-olds that Dickey was in
charge of taking to Saratoga.
I didnt realize how good he
was, he said.
Now 5, Flat Out is a relatively
fresh horse because his previous
foot problems and a shoulder
injury have limited him to 12
starts.
Hes finished in the money in
eight of those and earned $1.1
million. Hell be ridden by Alex
Solis, a 47-year-old jockey enjoy-
ing success again after a long
drought.
The prospect of winning the
Classic would be great, said
Dickey, who has enjoyed hear-
ing from old friends, former
classmates and jockeys who
used to ride for him as a result
of Flat Outs exploits.
Dickey and Jones, who trains
early second choice Havre de
Grace in the Classic, visit the
Churchill Downs chaplain to-
gether. Jones drew Dickeys
name out of a hat as someone
to pray for this summer.
Have I done too good a job
in praying for him? Jones said,
laughing.
If we dont win, it would be
just wonderful to watch Scooter
win it. I could root for him after
I say, Oh, crap. I want him to
be at his very best because if I
beat him, then he aint got noth-
ing to complain about.

A trainers Flat Out best chance
At age 70, Dickey finally may
have the horse to win big at
Saturdays Breeders Cup.
By BETH HARRIS
AP Racing Writer
If we dont win, it would be just wonderful to
watch Scooter win it. I could root for him after I
say, Oh, crap. I want him to be at his very best
because if I beat him, then he aint got nothing to
complain about.

CVS earnings, sales rise
CVS Caremark Corp.s third-quarter
net income climbed 7 percent as a
long-term contract and an acquisition
gave it more pharmacy network claims
to process.
The company that employs approxi-
mately 400 at a mail order fulfillment
center in Hanover Township reported
net income of $868 million, or 65 cents
per share, for the three months that
ended Sept. 30.
Adjusted earnings were 70 cents per
share, above analyst expectations for
67 cents, according to FactSet.
Revenue grew12 percent to $26.67
billion.
AMD announces job cuts
Advanced Micro Devices Inc. is cut-
ting about 1,400 workers as a weak
computer market and manufacturing
delays have hurt the second-biggest
maker of microprocessors for PCs.
The layoffs announced Thursday
amount to about 12 percent of the
companys 12,000 workers and are the
first big move by AMDs new CEO,
Rory Read, who was hired from Lenovo
Group in August.
Most of AMDs business comes from
PCs, and it doesnt have a meaningful
presence in smartphones and tablets.
Strong sales at Starbucks
Starbucks Corp.s fiscal fourth-quar-
ter profit jumped nearly 29 percent on
stronger sales of its coffee in its cafes
and at other retailers.
The Seattle-based coffee company
reported Thursday that it earned
$358.5 million, or 47 cents per share.
Thats up from $278.9 million last year.
After adjusting for one-time items, the
company earned 37 cents versus 32
cents last year.
Revenue rose 7 percent to $3 billion.
Stocks rally on news
News that Greece will scrap a refer-
endum on unpopular budget cuts and
an unexpected interest rate cut in Eu-
rope sent the Dow Jones industrial
average up nearly 210 points Thursday,
the second day in a row of big gains.
The European Central Bank sur-
prised markets by cutting its bench-
mark interest rate a quarter of a per-
centage point, to 1.25 percent. The
bank had increased its key rate twice
this year, but that was before Mario
Draghi took over as head of the bank
this week. The announcement sent
European stock indexes higher as in-
vestors hoped that lowering borrowing
costs would help prevent a recession.

NEW YORK Rapper
Snoop Dogg gave props on
Twitter to an ad for the Toyota
Sienna minivan. Actress Tori
Spelling linked to a website for
rental cars. And reality TV star
Khloe Kardashian soliloquized
about thebrandof jeans that ac-
centuates the famous Kardash-
ian derriere.
Want to know how Old Na-
vy makes your butt look scary
good? Ask a Kardashian, the
reality TVstar wrote on the so-
cial media website.
These celebs arent just writ-
ing about family cars and fash-
ion choices for the heck of it.
Stars can get paid big bucks
sometimes $10,000 or more
per post to pontificate about
clothes, cars and movies in the
140 characters or less allowed
per tweet. That adds up to
about $71 per character.
Twitter, whichinits five-year
existence has reshaped how
people shop, vote and start rev-
olutions, is now changing the
business of celebrity endorse-
ments. Just as Match.com and
eHarmony pair up singles for
dates, a growing number of
startup firms are hooking up
companies with stars who get
paid to praise products to Twit-
ter followers.
The endorsements range
from subtle to blatant; the ce-
leb pairings from sensible to
downright odd.
Singer Ray J urged his
600,000-plus Twitter followers
to see the horror movie Saw
3D. Lamar Odom, the L.A.
Lakers forward, tweeted to his
nearly 2 million followers
about hip-hop artist and entre-
preneur Jay-Zs book Decod-
ed: My man Jay-Z ... only rap-
per torewrite history without a
pen. Until now.
Of course, anything on Twit-
ter is short-lived and reaches
only a small, self-selecting au-
dience: Research firm eMarke-
ter estimates that only 11 per-
cent of U.S. adult Internet us-
ers are on the micro-blogging
site. Twitter generally allows
the paid tweets, as long as
theyre posted manually and
not automated by a computer
program. The Federal Trade
Commission suggests endor-
sers end their tweets with the #
symbol, called a hash tag, and
the letters ad or spon, short
for sponsored by, to clarify
that theyre ads.

US Airways and
Delta Air Lines Inc.
are raising fares
on many U.S.
flights by up to $10
per round trip, and
other airlines are
tinkering with
prices too.
United and Conti-

Thursday. The US
Airways increase
appeared to target

Ideally, those trends could
signal stronger growth and
more hiring. Yet until con-
sumers consistently spend
more, businesses are unlike-
ly to hire enough to drive
down unemployment.
But more consumers need
jobs and raises to keep
spending enough to help the
economy grow. The paradox
has kept the economy from

Weekly applications for

the third time since April
that applications have fallen

Services companies,

more in October after cut-
largely because businesses
spent more onindustrial ma-

CREDIT UNIONS ARE READY FOR NEWMEMBERS
Nationwide movement urges customers of big banks to switch to credit unions
(UFCW FEDERAL CREDIT UNION) -- With thousands of consumers pledging to move their money to a credit union by November 5th as part of Bank Transfer Day,
UFCW FEDERAL CREDIT UNION reports it is ready to accept new members now.
Every day is a good day to join a credit union, said John Hayduk, CEO of UFCW Federal Credit Union. Now is the time to become one of more than 92 million
Americans nationwide who are already enjoying the advantages of credit union membership.
Mr. Hayduk said consumers that do make the switch will fnd that on just about any given day, on average, credit unions offer higher returns on most savings, lower
rates on most loans, and lower (or no) fees than other fnancial institutions. At UFCW FCU, we make it easy! We dont just open your account we set it up with
Home Banking, Bill Payer and E-Statements for you. Credit unions are unique among fnancial institutions, Mr. Hayduk said. Other fnancial institutions exist to
maximize profts to their shareholders; credit unions exist solely to maximize service to their members. UFCW Federal Credit Union is recognized as one of the
strongest fnancial institutions in our area. (See www.bankrate.com).
Mr. Hayduk states, UFCW employees follow an old-school philosophy where you are considered family, not just a number to us. In addition, we take an active role in
our neighborhoods through community service, such as distributing Gift Cards and Tropical Storm Lee Credit Union grants (PA Credit Union Foundation/Association)
to our members affected by the food. Annually, UFCW organizes our Community Fundraiser for local volunteer fre departments and the SPCA.
In 2010, UFCW began offering Financial Literacy classes and a student run branch at Wyoming Area Secondary Center.
Think you cant join a credit union? Think again! There is a credit union for everybody. Make your best decision based on your needs and that of your family,
Mr. Hayduk added. If you like saving money and conducting your fnancial business at a place that focuses on your needs, join UFCW Federal Credit Union today!

The weekend
forecast has my
stamp of
approval and is
presented to you
now with a high
level of
condence. Any
lingering
cloudiness early
this morning will
be gone by late
lunch time as
the leading edge
of a very dry air
mass begins
moving in, allow-
ing for clear
skies all after-
noon and into
tonight. This will
cause a precipi-
tous rise of baro-
metric pressure
up to around
30.50 by
Sunday. By then
our current dry
spell will have
lasted eight days
and is likely to
last 10 days
through Election
Day, when once
again tempera-
tures will be
back up to near
60. Submitted
for your
approval.

NATIONAL FORECAST: Showers and scattered thunderstorms will be likely across California today,
but expect snow showers in the mountains. Snow and lower elevation rain will also affect the north-
ern Intermountain West. Meanwhile, expect rain and a few thunderstorms to gradually exit the
Carolinas as low pressure moves into the Atlantic.
