State won’t recoup all Dell money BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – Officials with the state of North Carolina estimate they will recover about $1.5 million of the $8.5 million provided in economic incentives to Dell Inc., and legislators say the experience with Dell could lead to reforms of incentives offers to companies. Dell was pledged the largest, combined state and local incentives package in North Carolina history five years ago when it announced plans to build a computer manufacturing plant. But Dell, which is looking to save $4 billion corporatewide, last week announced it will close the Winston-Salem plant in January, putting 905 workers out of a job. Dell’s incentives, which could have totaled more than $300 million, were to be phased in during many years. Dell already has received some incentives payments from the state, Winston-Salem and Forsyth County. The state expects to recover the $1.5 million in Job Development Investment Grant funds, said Katharine Neal, assistant secretary of communications and external affairs with the N.C. Department of Commerce in Raleigh. But Dell received other benefits, such as $3.6 million in work force training funds, that the state doesn’t expect to recapture. Winston-Salem Mayor Allen Joines said last week he expects local governments will recover the incentives money floated to Dell, which totals about $26 million. Two leading legislators say the Dell deal should lead to greater scrutiny. “I think the Dell experience will lead legislators to look more carefully at the incentive

HIGH POINT – A planning organization that works with local governments is trying to raise awareness about the need to clean up a local watershed. The Piedmont Triad Council of Governments recently completed the Rich Fork Creek Watershed Restoration Plan, and this week will begin a series of public meetings on restoration projects it’s proposing. The study, funded by grants from the North Carolina Division of Water Quality and the Clean Water Management Trust Fund, recommends 33 projects and seven policy initiatives aimed at improving Rich Fork’s water quality. The 57square-mile watershed is primarily

in northeastern Davidson County but includes portions of High Point. It’s a tributary of the larger Abbott’s Creek Watershed and is a headwaters system of High Rock Lake. According to PTCOG, the creek is listed as impaired for biological habitat by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and had bacteria levels in excess of federal standards until last year. The plan cites storm-water management and buffer restoration as the top needs in cleaning up the watershed. Storm-water runoff – rainfall that strikes impervious surfaces and carries pollutants into the creek – has had the largest impact on Rich Fork’s water quality conditions. The primary pollutants include fertilizers and pesticides, oils, dirt from construction sites and litter.

The N.C. General Assembly overwhelmingly approved the largest incentives package in state history for Dell Inc. during a special session on Nov. 4, 2004. Voting in favor of the incentives were: Reps. Harold Brubaker, RRandolph; Jerry Dockham, R-Davidson; Hugh Holliman, D-Davidson; and Earl Jones, D-Guilford; Sens. Stan Bingham, R-Davidson; Katie Dorsett, D-Guilford; and Jerry Tillman, R-Randolph. packages,” said Rep. Paul Luebke, D-Durham and senior chairman of the House Finance Committee. Luebke, who voted against the Dell incentives during a special N.C. General Assembly session in November 2004, said legislators may require companies to pay back more of the benefits they receive if they close plants early. When legislators took up the Dell legislation in the one-day special session, they were told by officials of then-Gov. Mike Easley that no changes or amendments could be made or Dell wouldn’t pick North Carolina. Sen. Phil Berger, R-Rockingham and Senate minority leader, voted for the Dell incentives five years ago. But the closing of the plant ought to cause state and local officials to re-examine incentives offers, especially extraordinary ones, said Berger, who represents parts of Guilford County. “We need to be real careful. This is a wake-up call,” Berger said. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

PTCOG, which says it’s working with planning officials from High Point, Thomasville and Davidson County, recommends vegetated buffers as one way to help keep pollutants out of the stream. Buffers, such as trees, shrubs and native grasses, are absent from many of the streamside properties in the watershed, according to PTCOG. The other recommendations include “storm-water retrofits,” such as rain gardens and constructed wetlands, as a way to mitigate the impact of runoff. Outreach and education, improved enforcement of existing rules and improved site design are other strategies PTCOG is proposing. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

Man stabbed, jumps in river to escape robbers MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

EDEN – A 34-year-old Eden man who was cut by a knife-wielding robber early Sunday morning jumped in a nearby river to escape, the sheriff’s office said. Martin Medna told the Rockingham County Sheriff’s Office he was with someone named Hannah Hunnicutt at a boat landing at 587 Bethlehem Church Road in Eden. They were walking onto the boat ramp when they were met by two suspects including one with a knife. They demanded Medna’s wallet, so he complied. One suspect then cut him behind his left eye and on his shoulder. The other suspect kicked and punched him while robbing him of more than $100 in cash, the sheriff’s office said. Medna, of Taylor Street, then escaped by jumping

Kevin Suthard investigated the incident and reported two were arrested with one more arrest pending. Marcus Antoine Hairston, 23, of 318 Sunset Drive in Eden, was charged with robbery with a dangerous weapon, assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill or inflict serious injury. He was also charged with conspiracy to commit a felony, larceny of a motor vehicle and robbery with a dangerous weapon. His bond was set at $25,000. Hunnicutt, 23, of 503-A Carolyn Court in Eden, was charged with felony aid and abet and assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill.

Despite the economic challenges, we are still on track to have invested $80 million at this campus by the end of 2009 as we originally planned.” At its briefing Monday evening, the Thomasville City Council decided it will consider calling for a Nov. 16 public hearing next Monday night on Unilin’s request for a waiver. In 2004, the city of Thomasville, Davidson County and the state of North Carolina agreed to a total of $14 million in incentives for Unilin Flooring to locate in Thomasville.

JACKSONVILLE (AP) – A rule that only allowed inmates in the Onslow County jail to read the Bible or legal documents has been lifted. Sheriff Ed Brown announced the rule change Monday. The new policy allows inmates to have two uncirculated publications. Local attorneys had criticized Brown’s policy because many of the inmates are awaiting trial, not serving sentences.

The infant was immediately transported to Mission Hospitals where doctors confirmed she suffered severe brain trauma. Medical experts trained in identifying and treating child abuse examined the baby and ruled out the possibility of accidental injuries, determining the trauma to her brain was likely caused by shaking with severe force, Marsh said. Haywood County social services and sheriff’s detectives were notified and an investigation ensued.

ing officials hope to take advantage of a new incentives policy that the City Council recently approved. The policy allows the City Council to waive the minimum job creation clause for any business that invests $50,000 when the county’s unemployment rate has been at or above 10 percent in the last six months. “You always want people to provide as many jobs as possible, but at the same time, you have to understand that in the job climate and business climate that we have now that it’s hard for some of the companies to continue their employment at the rate they would like it to be,” York said. “I feel like (Unilin Flooring has) done a good job the few years they have been here. We definitely want to keep them here.” Unilin Flooring officials could not be reached for comment Monday.

Since Dell, we’ve become a nation of entitlements So, I was right once again. I was boo-hooed and panned for expressing my opinion about Winston-Salem and Forsyth County giving the Dell Corp. $38 million in taxpayer money to locate in Forsyth County in 2004. How did that work out in the long run for the county? Did Dell ever reach the employee hiring levels they promised during their campaign for a free facility? Since then, we’ve become a nation of entitlements, where anyone doing anything thinks the government is responsible for helping them attain their goals. Now, we have a full-blown attack on the American way. Free enterprise is being vilified by both our administration and neo-Marxist filmmaker Michael Moore. I would have rather seen our benevolent, Marxist-leaning government allow some of these businesses they’ve bailed out with taxpayer dollars fail. But no, the American way is obviously something they could care less about or something they feel is “unfair.” Competition is becoming a “bad

word,” which is necessary if the only viable competition is supposed to be the government. President Obama placed his hand on the “Lincoln” Bible and swore an oath to protect the Constitution during his inauguration. Has he held up his end of the bargain? Not in my humble opinion, and I can point directly at the mess in Afghanistan as a prime example, but I digress. The real question is this: Will Dell reimburse the taxpayers who were hoodwinked into financing their private enterprise? RANDALL M. HEDRICK High Point

Scriptures say belief saves you, not baptism There’s nothing about baptism in John 1:12. “Believe” – to have faith; by

implication – to entrust – Strong’s concordance. Believe what? The gospel – I Corinthians 15:3-4 – “For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures.” Also Romans 10:9-10. John 1:12; 3:3, 5-6, 14-18, 36; 5:24; 6:35 and many other Scriptures tell one how to be saved, but none of them involve water baptism for salvation. Either believe what God’s word says in plain English and accept Christ as Saviour, or believe some man-made religion and go to hell when you die. “... the rich man also died, and was buried; And in hell he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, ...” Luke 16:22b-23a. Also Mark 9:43-48. There’s no soul sleep nor purgatory between! “For Christ sent me not to

baptize, but to preach the gospel ...” – I Corinthians 1:17. If baptism is necessary for salvation, why wasn’t Paul sent to preach it? One has to do some serious twisting of Scripture to put baptism as a part of salvation in the Bible. Jesus Christ nor any of God’s word teaches such. John 6:29 – “Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on Him whom He hath sent.” RAY ALCON High Point

ix months ago, in this space, we declared the second running of the United Health Care N.C. Marathon a huge success and heartily recommended the event that benefits Foster Friends of North Carolina continue to be held each year in High Point. Foster Friends of North Carolina is a nonprofit working to improve the lives of children experiencing foster care. At that time, we also said “officials of the marathon and the city can get to work on producing an even bigger event next year with more activities and attractions downtown, and more food and snack vendors in particular. We’d also like to see the marathon headquartered in the city.” The event was moved from Greensboro, where the initial marathon was run, to High Point last May after that city cited security and other costs totaling $65,000 while High Point offered to host the marathon at no charge. It was announced in Friday’s edition of The High Point Enterprise that the 2010 (third annual) N.C. Marathon will take place March 20. As High Point City Manager Strib Boynton noted in that article, “The time of year doesn’t make any difference for us because it’s not about us. It’s about the runners raising money for the foster homes.” It’s also a natural for High Point, a community that repeatedly comes through when an event or a program helps children. Consider just a few examples: • The recently completed, highly successful series of Ilderton Beach Music Blast concerts in Uptowne High Point with proceeds going to the Children’s Home Society of North Carolina. • The stadium dedicated just a couple of weeks ago for the Miracle League of High Point, one of about 200 Miracle Leagues across the country that allows children with mental and physical disabilities to experience the joy of America’s pastime by removing the barriers that have traditionally kept them off the baseball field. • A considerable sum of money raised in High Point, with Jordan Washburn leading the way, for Victory Junction Gang Camp, a special camp for special kids with health care needs that has served more than 10,000 children from 47 states and three countries since it opened in the Randleman area in 2004. • The 22-member High Point Children’s Cabinet, in partnership with Family Service of the Piedmont, United Way of Greater High Point, Guilford County Department of Social Services dedicated to ensuring the best care be given to children in foster care by inspiring the community to get involved, encouraging foster and adoptive parents, fiscally supporting an agency which provides foster care services and championing the “One Church, One Child” program. All that helps the UHC N.C. Marathon be a great fit for High Point and gives all of you runners out there early warning to get yourself fit to participate in the 2010 race. Remember, it’s about the kids.

Some just want to trade one monopoly for another

ount me among the puzzled. Advocates of government-run health insurance seem fascinated with the fact that in many states, a single private insurer dominates the market. They decry monopoly, though having 70 percent market share doesn’t really fit the definition. Yet their promised solution is a very real monopoly. In North Carolina, the rhetorical back-flips are more puzzling because the dominant private player is the nonprofit Blue Cross & Blue Shield Association. Finding it inconvenient to blame profit for the problems in our state’s insurance market, activists have resorted to attacking CEO Bob Greczyn’s $4 million salary as if it had some significant bearing on health costs or access. I have no idea if Greczyn is overpaid. I lack the information necessary to second-guess the board charged with the task of retaining effective management. But what I am confident about is that if you add up his salary and that of other top Blue Cross executives, the result wouldn’t come close to explaining the rise in health care costs or the inability of hundreds of thousands of North Carolinians to purchase true health insurance coverage at reasonable prices. Executive compensation is a tiny fraction of the bill. Profit won’t take you very far as an explanation, either. The average profit margin in the health insurance business is a little less than 4 percent. Even if there were some way to eliminate it entirely, that wouldn’t save enough to curtail medical inflation noticeably or to subsidize coverage for the uninsured. Blue Cross takes in nearly 70 percent of all premium dollars in North Carolina’s health insurance market. It sells virtually all of the policies in the individual market – plans marketed directly to

families rather than to employers – and is also the dominant player in the group market. The issue, however, isn’t so much whether Blue Cross or another other insurer dominates the OPINION market, but why. If a firm earns a dominant market John share because it delivers Hood the best service at the best ■■■ price, then by definition it isn’t hurting consumers. But if a firm owes its dominance to unfair barriers to entry that keep competitors out, consumers are hurt. In health insurance, there are indeed unfair barriers to entry. For decades, Blue Cross/Blue Shield associations have used their political power in state capitals to acquire exceptions to taxes and regulations imposed on commercial health insurers. For example, back in the 1990s North Carolina imposed price controls on small-group plans in an attempt to protect consumers. That had a disproportionate effect on new entrants and smaller firms without the ability to handle unforeseen risks. Such rules always work to the advantage of larger, established players – which is often why the rules make it through the lobbying process in the first place. In the past, then, the Blues have assumed dominant market positions because of special government assistance. Now, the Left wants to set up new public or nonprofit insurers, with special government assistance, as an “option” to the Blues. My head hurts.

Britainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brown to repay $19,000 expense claims

Security of Pakistan nukes questioned ISLAMABAD â&#x20AC;&#x201C; An audacious weekend assault by Islamic militants on Pakistanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s army headquarters is again raising fears of an insurgent attack on the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nuclear weapons installation. Pakistan has sought to protect its nuclear weapons from attack by the Taliban or other militants by storing the warheads, detonators and missiles separately in facilities patrolled by elite troops.

Netanyahu: No war crimes trials for Israelis JERUSALEM â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday vowed never to allow Israeli leaders or soldiers to stand trial on war crimes charges over their actions during last winterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s military offensive in the Gaza Strip. He denounced a U.N. report in a keynote address to parliament.

Official: Lockerbie bomber release in U.K. interest LONDON â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Britainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Foreign Secretary says his countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interests would have suffered had the Lockerbie bomber died in prison. David Miliband said in a statement before lawmakers Monday that British authorities believed the U.K.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economic and security cooperation with Libya would have been damaged if Abdel Baset al-Megrahi died from cancer while he was still behind bars.

The blast killed 41 people Monday, planned offensive against the fourth grisly militant attack in just over a week. the Taliban in their north-

west stronghold, a push seen as vital to the success of the faltering U.S. war effort in Afghanistan. New details about the alleged leader of the 22-hour attack on army headquarters less than 10 miles from the Pakistani capital underscored the bonds among the groups. Officials said Mohammad Aqeel, a former member of the army medical corps, had ties to the Taliban as well as to two al-Qaida-linked militant groups in the Punjab, Pakistanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dominant and most populous province.

Problems beset Afghan vote recount KABUL (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Efforts to resolve Afghanistanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fraud-marred presidential election suffered new setbacks Monday when one of two Afghans on the commission, Maulavi Mustafa Barakzai, resigned over â&#x20AC;&#x153;foreign interferenceâ&#x20AC;? and U.N.

officials acknowledged that errors and miscommunication had plagued the investigation. Allegations of widespread fraud in the Aug. 20 balloting threaten to scuttle the international strategy to combat the burgeoning Taliban insurgen-

cy at a time when public support for the war in the United States and Western Europe is waning. The U.S. and its international partners are anxious for a U.N.-backed commission to wrap up its investigation into fraud charges.

Lincoln sheriff indicted on obstruction charges LINCOLNTON (AP) – A North Carolina sheriff was indicted Monday on two felony obstruction of justice charges stemming from his role in an impaired driving investigation. Prosecutors accused Lincoln County Sheriff Tim Daugherty of ordering the release of an impaired driving suspect, preventing one of his deputies from administering a chemical analysis to process the man. The indictment says Daugherty misrepresented his involvement in the matter when a State Bureau of Investigation agent asked him about it.

ings. “We’re all very upset, as you can imagine,” said Wendy Nichols, supervisor of the telecommunications department. Authorities were called to the Thomas’ home just before 8 a.m. Sunday, Iredell sheriff’s Capt. Campbell said. The call to 911 came from one of the wounded son’s mobile phones, he said. Deputies found the parents dead and the sons suffering gunshot wounds. Alina Adams, who lives next door, said she sometimes spoke with Linda but rarely spoke to Douglas Thomas. “He was almost unnaturally quiet,” she said. But she and other neighbors also said he wasn’t unfriendly, either.

ANOTHER SUCCESS STORY Roy Webster, a life time resident of High Point, NC. Roy worked for High Point Bank for 40+ years. Roy was involved in a car accident in December 2008. He was in a trauma hospital for over 3 months on a ventilator to keep him alive. Once he was well enough to leave the trauma hospital he was transferred to Triad Care & Rehabilitation. When Roy arrived at Triad he couldn’t walk. Through the occupational and physical therapy and care he received from Triad Care & Rehabilitation, Roy was able to walk out of the building by himself after spending 3 months at Triad in therapy. In Roy’s words, “the staff at Triad Care & Rehab wouldn’t give up on me and pushed me everyday to do my best”, it’s a miracle I’m alive today. Roy also said he would recommend Triad to everyone he met.

Husband’s many secrets raise wife’s suspicions D

ear Abby: I have been married nearly a year. My husband and I were together for five years before that. I am his fourth wife. What’s bothering me is he gets most of his mail delivered to his mother’s – things such as his cell phone bill, his paychecks, etc. Everything he owns is in storage in another country. He makes all his phone calls from work and never receives any at home. I saw his credit report. He has taken out loans I know nothing about. I love my husband with all my heart, but am I right to think a marriage isn’t supposed to be this way? I feel he has two lives. – In the Dark in Tennessee

Dear In the Dark: I don’t know how many lives your husband is living, but the answer to your question is no, a marriage is not supposed to be the way yours is. Your husband’s behavior is unusually secretive – and when people are secretive, it is usually because they have something to hide. There are many red flags in your letter, and because of that I’m advising you to talk to an attorney and find out how loans taken out without your knowledge could affect you. Dear Abby: My girl-

friend gets weirded out and angry when I hold my kids from a previous marriage ADVICE in my lap and want Dear her to be Abby close to me ■■■ at the same time. She says it’s “gross and inappropriate.” She acts like I am trying to be sexual with her, but I’m not – I’m just trying to have her near me while I’m sitting on the couch with my children. She says I should only be affectionate with them and her separately. Am I the one with the problem here, or what? – Dad in Lakewood, Wash. Dear Dad: Your girlfriend may feel competitive with your children, or she may have something in her personal history that makes it difficult for her to differentiate between paternal affection and sexual closeness between adults. If you want concrete answers from her, you need to discuss this subject more fully with her so she can explain why she feels the way she does, because it’s odd. Dear Abby: Since my daughter left home several years ago, I have

become extremely anxious on Sundays. In the afternoons it feels like the walls are closing in on me. I feel so depressed I have to leave the house. If I go someplace that is open and unconfined, with lots of people around, I feel fine. When I return to my house in the early evening and dote on my pets, I get back to feeling normal. Abby, some people have said I suffer from “empty nest syndrome.” Others say it’s “cabin fever.” Any thoughts on what I can do about this? – Phil in Phoenix Dear Abby: If your daughter left on a Sunday, that may be the reason you become depressed and anxious on that particular day of the week. Or because you are less busy and distracted on Sundays, you become more aware of the fact you are alone. Whether you’re experiencing “empty nest syndrome” or “cabin fever” is irrelevant. Discuss your feelings of depression and claustrophobia with a licensed mental health professional so you can be properly diagnosed and receive help for your problem. DEAR ABBY is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

BY DR. WARD ROBINSON

wine flu (also known as H1N1 novel influenza virus) smoldered in Guilford County throughout the summer. With school reopening, we have witnessed dramatic increases of cases. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve all been told repeatedly to rub our hands with alcoholbased hand sanitizers, to cough into our elbows and to stay away from work or school when weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sick. These three maneuvers are clearly important efforts, but they really havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been adequate to stop the epidemic. Historically we know that the best single tool public health has to combat infectious disease is a safe effective vaccine. That vaccine is finally arriving in Guilford County. Our first amount of vaccine is small, but we trust that over the coming weeks, we will get thousands of doses. At this writing, however, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know exactly how much vaccine we will get, when we will get it, or which of the two types (nasal spray or flu shot) will come next. I can promise you, however, that the vaccine will not remain in public health refrigerators. A vaccine only works if it is up many childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s noses or in many peoplesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; arms. Harvard University asked people if they would take the swine flu vaccine. Many said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;No.â&#x20AC;? The prevailing reason they gave was that people didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe swine flu was a big deal. At the same time, they were concerned that the vaccine isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t safe. The reality is that swine flu is not a big deal; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an ordeal. It causes healthy, happy people to have high, spiking fevers, chills, severe headaches, muscle pains and fatigue. Some end up having to be hospitalized. Some die. Those affected most are school-age children from kindergarten to college and pregnant women. These folks are our loved ones and our future. The vaccine will protect them. As a health-care provider, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m at high risk for influenza, and I have received the influenza vaccine each year for decades. My family gets the vaccine each year. If I thought there was any valid reason to suspect this swine flu vaccine was any different, any riskier, I would halt its distribution. When the vaccine supply improves to the point that it is readily available to most, my family will be in line for it.

Scabies spreads from person to person

ear Dr. Donohue: We have an outbreak of scabies in our area. Will you explain how one gets them? Is it by shaking hands or from pushing a grocery cart in the supermarket? How does one get rid of them? – D.S.

BLONDIE

Scabies fills people with dread and disgust because they think it comes from poor personal hygiene. It doesn’t. It happens to the very rich, the very poor, the very persnickety, the somewhat hygienically laid-back, the elderly and the young – in short, to anyone. The scabies organism is a mite, a tiny insect. It’s so small that you really need a magnifying glass to see it. It’s the female mite that causes all the trouble. She passes from infected person to uninfected through normal, daily person-to-person contact, like shaking hands. Off the human body, the mite lives for only 48 hours, so it’s possible but not highly probable to catch a mite from inanimate objects. Once on the skin, the female mite burrows a tunnel beneath the skin to lay her eggs. The tunnel looks like a white or red thread below the skin. Larvae hatch in two to three days, and in two weeks they are adults capable of producing offspring. Itching from scabies can be fierce. It comes from the infection and from an allergic reaction to the mite and its waste

products. The finger webs (the skin between fingers), the backs of the hands, HEALTH the wrists, elbows, Dr. Paul underarms, Donohue buttocks ■■■ and genitalia are the places where the mite most often makes its home. Treatment with permethrin is effective. Directions have to be followed carefully. Oral ivermectin also works well. All family members should be treated. Antihistamines and lotions like Calamine control the itch. The itch often lasts for four weeks after the mite has been eradicated. It is not a sign of a need for retreatment. Laundering bedding and clothes in the hot cycle of the washing machine and dryer gets rid of the scabies mite.

muscle pain. Have you tried all the statins – simvastatin (Zocor), pravastatin (Crestor), fluvastatin (Lescol) and atorvastatin (Lipitor)? Switching to a different statin can sometimes be beneficial. Or a reduction in dose might prevent pain. Or, how about a different cholesterol-lowering medicine? Niacin works for some. Questran and Welchol also bring down cholesterol. So do gemfibrozil and TriCor. I’m sure you are on a low-fat, low-cholesterol diet and doing some aerobic exercise, like brisk walking. These can reduce your cholesterol level.

Dear Dr. Donohue: I am a 70-year-old man and have been on and off statins since my heart attack 11 years ago. Lipitor is one of the statins I used. When on these drugs, I get mild to moderate muscle pain. Short of taking Darvon Compound, I haven’t been able to find anything that eliminates the pain. Are you aware of any medications that can relieve my symptoms? – R.S.

Your question is: How does blood return from my legs after the veins have been removed? Is that correct? The varicose veins that were removed were “superficial” veins, veins that were right below the skin. You have another set of leg veins, the deep veins. They are buried in leg muscles. You can’t see them. Blood returns to the heart from the legs by way of those deep veins after the superficial ones are gone.

Coenzyme Q10 might relieve statin-induced

Dear Dr. Donohue: I am seeking information about what happens after stripping of varicose veins (some 33 years ago). The veins were removed from ankle to groin. My question is: Then what? I am 83. – T.W.

NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; One of President Barack Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top aides says Fox News Channel acts like a wing of the Republican Party. White House Communications Director Anita Dunn told CNNâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Reliable Sourcesâ&#x20AC;? on Sunday that Fox News operates â&#x20AC;&#x153;almost as either the research arm or the communications arm of the Republican Party.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another sign of the White Houseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aggressively going after Fox. Commentators Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity have been strong Obama critics, and Bill Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Reilly has taken tough looks at the administration. The president avoided Fox when he visited five Sunday morning news shows last month, and a recent White House blog post accused Beck of lying. Fox News executive Michael Clemente (clehMENâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;-tay) says most viewers know the difference between news and opinion shows. He says attacking the messenger doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work.

CHICAGO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The King may be dead, but that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too late to run your fingers through his hair.

Man walks through debris at Carolina Beach as Hurricane Hazel pummeled the North Carolina coast in October 1954.

Storm to remember Hurricane Hazel slammed the coast in October 1954, altering the lives of three High Point families forever BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

ifty-five years ago this week, as Hurricane Hazel churned toward the North Carolina coast, a smaller, far less significant storm brewed in High Point. Seven-year-old Peggy Hart couldn’t believe her parents, Albert and Margaret Hart, were headed to the coast with two other High Point couples. She didn’t know about the threat Hazel posed – she just didn’t want her parents to go. “I remember being really upset that Mother and Daddy were leaving town,” says Peggy Hart Shuping, now 62 and living in Greenville. “I had to be taken to Ingram’s Pharmacy for an ice cream treat to calm me down.” Had she known what really lay in store for her parents, it would’ve taken far more than an ice cream cone to calm her down. The story is well-known in High Point, even more than a half-century later. Three couples, all of them best friends with one another, headed to Ocean Isle for a housewarming party at the new summer cottage of one of the couples. They went knowing Hurricane Hazel was headed toward the coast, but forecasts that week – which were far less sophisticated than today’s hightech forecasts – didn’t indicate that Ocean Isle would face the brunt of the storm. Two couples – Frank and Virginia Armfield and Elwood and Loui Cox – drowned in the horrific storm, each couple leaving behind four children. Only the Harts survived – and they just barely survived. “My parents dealt with a lot of survivors’ guilt,” says Shuping’s brother, Stuart Hart, who was a

Margaret and Albert Hart, who died in 1992, are shown many years after they survived Hurricane Hazel. student at N.C. State University when Hazel hit. “A number of times I would hear my father questioning, wondering why they had survived,” says Hart, now 74 and living in Indianapolis, Ind. “They felt it would’ve been better if they had been taken. I was 19 and could’ve taken care of my sister, and there would’ve only been two orphans instead of eight. I really don’t think he ever got over it.” Nor did Margaret Hart, who her children say even wrote a manuscript about the couple’s harrowing ordeal. She never published it, though, instead giving copies of what she’d written to family members. “I think one of the reasons she wrote it was to purge the demons of horror that she couldn’t let go of,” Stuart Hart says. According to Shuping, the manuscript tells in great detail how the Harts survived the hurricane. At one point, they found themselves in high, rough

waters, clinging to a chunk of flooring that appeared to have broken off from the very cottage they’d been staying in. “It’s scary to this day to read it,” Shuping says. “They kept being knocked off by the waves. At one point, I remember my mother was knocked off and somehow got trapped under the flooring, and she thought, ‘This is it.’ But the next thing she knew, she popped back up, right next to Daddy.” Stuart Hart adds, “Mother told me that because the rain was driving so hard, sometimes she couldn’t even see Daddy, and he was almost right next to her. But she could hear his voice – he kept urging her on – and she said if it hadn’t been for that, she would’ve given up. They held onto that flooring and eventually were blown back into some trees on the mainland.” The Harts apparently took quite a physical beating riding Hazel’s ferocious waves. Both of their children recall seeing

their parents’ battered arms and legs, covered with bruises and scratches. “But the thing that really struck me was, they had turned almost totally gray-headed overnight,” Stuart Hart says. “That’s the very first thing I noticed, and it just hit me like a ton of bricks.” The Harts died in 1992, about 10 months apart; both were 78 years old. And to this day, their children wonder why their parents survived, when the other two couples perished. “I’m a religious person,” Stuart Hart says, “and I know that our mother and daddy weren’t picked by God to survive over the others – that’s not the way things work. But I’ve always questioned why they survived and the others didn’t. I felt bad for their kids, and I almost felt kind of guilty that I had parents and they didn’t.” jtomlin@hpe.com | 888-3579

Guilford County Department of Public Health and the Guilford County Sheriff’s Department are holding a Medication Take Back event to give residents an opportunity to dispose of prescription and over-the-counter medications in a safe manner. The Medication Take Back will be held Friday from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. at two health department locations: 501 E. Green Drive in High Point and 1100 E. Wendover Ave. in Greensboro. Sheriff BJ Barnes stated, “This is a very important program to assist our citizens in disposing of unwanted drugs. If the citizen does not need the drugs, by us destroying them we take the possibility of them hitting the street for whatever reason off the table.” Individuals who would like to take advantage of this event must be able to bring their items inside the health department. Medications should be in the original containers. Containers will be destroyed along with the medication to protect any confidential information. No syringes (needles) will be accepted. Guilford County Sheriff’s deputies will be on hand to secure all medications and will oversee their safe destruction. For more information, contact Connie Lawson, Guilford County Department of Public Health, at 845-7722.

Tuesday, October 13, 2009 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Ashanti, 29; Jerry Rice, 47; Marie Osmond, 50; Chris Carter, 53 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: You can move mountains this year if you put your mind to it. Accomplishments will start at home and work their way into your personal and professional life. You’ll be freed from some of the limitations and frustrations of the past. Changes with older and younger people in your life will occur. Good times are ahead if you stop procrastinating. Your numbers are 5, 16, 23, 28, 31, 39, 42 ARIES (March 21-April 19): If a deal sounds too good, you need to do more homework. Don’t let anyone put you in a position that makes you feel awkward about saying no. Take a safe route that will ensure you can afford the things you want in the future. ★★★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You won’t win if you decide to openly argue and you may even damage your reputation with people witnessing events as they unfold. Stubbornness will be your downfall. Don’t try to manipulate to get your way. ★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The people around you will appreciate you for your friendship and all the help and inspiration you bring with you. Be prepared to let a friend lean on you, offering reassurance, suggestions and support. ★★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): A lazy attitude can lead to trouble. You may not feel much like contributing but, if you don’t, you will end up being left out of something that you might enjoy or an opportunity to make a little extra cash. Money is heading your way. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t trust what’s being said. Someone may not want to hurt your feelings or put up with your response should you be told the truth. You’ll have to find out for yourself and make a judgment call that will change the relationship you have with someone. ★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You can’t leave anything important up to someone else. You will be disappointed in the way others do things and will probably be denied something you want badly if your contribution doesn’t reflect your unique style. Being responsible is half the battle. ★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Take part and you will not be denied the position you want. Your ability to represent others will help you gain popularity. The more you involve yourself in the decisionmaking, the more control you will have for your future. ★★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Not everyone will get what you are trying to accomplish. Don’t let others’ lack of understanding unnerve you or make you jump into something that’s not right for you. You can’t count on things unfolding the way you imagine. ★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You have to be ready to take on anything and everything. Multitasking will be a must but the results will be spectacular. Adventure awaits you if you dive into every opportunity that comes your way. ★★★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): A contract someone is offering will not be in your best interest. Don’t feel pressured to get involved. Emotional matters concerning an elder in your family will get blown out of proportion, leaving you responsible. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You won’t want to budge but stubbornness can lead to error. You will discover how much easier it is to get along with others if you compromise. Being offensive will not solve the problem – it will only bring more opposition. ★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Nothing will be too great or difficult for you to solve. Your astute observations coupled with a detailed approach will bring results. Mixing business with pleasure will add to your success. ★★★

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

Here’s more practice at counting the distribution of the defenders’ hands – with a slam at stake. West leads the three of clubs against six hearts. North’s bid of 2NT was a conventional forcing heart raise. East doubled North’s five-club cue bid as a lead-director; you could have redoubled to show second-round club control but leaped to slam instead. You take the ace of clubs and let the nine of trumps ride, losing to the king. You ruff West’s club return and cash a trump in dummy. Both defenders follow.

THIRD SPADE To make the slam you must guess the queen of diamonds, hence you need a count of the EastWest distribution. Ruff dummy’s last club, take the A-K of spades and ruff the jack. On the third spade, West discards a club. Now you know West had two trumps, two spades and no more than five clubs (from his lead of the three). So he had at least four diamonds, and your guess has become a sure thing. Cash the king and let the jack ride to

make your slam for sure.

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S K J 4 H Q 9 8 4 D A 9 3 C A 10 9. Your partner opens one diamond, you respond one heart and he raises to two hearts. The opponents pass. What do you say? ANSWER: You certainly must bid game, but to give your partner an option, bid 3NT. If he raised you with a hand such as 8 7, A K 3, K Q 10 7 6, J 6 5 or Q 5 3, J 7 6 5, K Q 10 4, K Q, he can pass. If he raised with good four-card support or with a distributional hand, he can insist on a suit contract. South dealer N-S vulnerable

ONE STAR: It’s best to avoid conflicts; work behind the scenes or read a good book. Two stars: You can accomplish but don’t rely on others for help. Three stars: If you focus, you will reach your goals. Four stars: You can pretty much do as you please, a good time to start new projects. Five stars: Nothing can stop you now. Go for the gold.

DAVID HOLSTON | HPE

Devonte Davis stands out for Southwest Guilford on Friday nights as a wide receiver (left) and bass drum player.

Hum-drum season? Not for this senior

SONNY HEDGECOCK | HPE

Big splash Area golfers braved the rainy weather to swing into action at the Piedmont Triad 4A Golf Championship on Monday at Blair Park. In top photo, Ragsdale’s Laura Chang earned medalist honors at 39. In middle photo, High Point Central’s Breana Boyd tied for fourth at 44. Sarah Adams of Southwest Guilford tied for ninth at 46. See prep roundup on 2D.

Phillies rally, rock Colorado DENVER (AP) – Ryan Howard hit a two-run double with two outs in the ninth inning and scored on Jayson Werth’s single as Philadelphia rallied past Colorado 5-4 Monday night to win Game 4 and reach the NL championship series. The Phillies open NLCS play Thursday night at the Dodgers.

he halftime show ended and the cadence for the band’s exit began. At that point, the drummer began marching to – well, the beat of a different drummer. Off came the bass drum harness, on went the shoulder pads, and out the gate went No. 81, set to rejoin the Southwest Guilford Cowboys for the end of halftime. “I’ve been wanting to do both for a couple of years,” said Devonte Davis. “I always loved playing football and band was something I loved. I decided to do both.” Davis stands out on the sideline during football games thanks to his 6-foot-3, 160-pound frame – and long white socks pulled up to a seemingly impossible height. He stands out on the field during the marching band’s halftime show thanks to his football uniform pants and white T-shirt. No sparkling silver sash or black hat for this busy senior. Davis began participating in both activities at Welborn Middle School, but when he arrived at Southwest Guilford as a freshman, he elected to stick with band. He’s played all manner of percussion instruments for both the marching and concert bands – but football continued pulling at him. Last spring, he told Southwest football coach Scott Schwarzer and band director Kenny Butler that he planned to play football. Schwarzer told Davis he could play and march. Butler told him he had to, no matter how rare the feat. “It does not happen a lot around here,” said Butler, who recalled football players performing double duty at his alma mater, Durham Jordan. “I saw it in my high school band all the time. I thought that was the norm.” While Friday nights were about to become a lot more hectic for Davis, his summer turned into an absolute blur. In August, football workouts began at 8 a.m. and ended at noon, at which point Davis headed home

for a quick lunch. Then it was back to school for band practice from 1 to 5 – and oh, by the way, with an evening session that stretched to 9 some nights. SPORTS “I was here all day,” Davis recalled with a Steve smile. Hanf The first-year ■■■ football player got a handle on the Southwest offense, but despite his impressive size, sees limited action. Schwarzer’s 3-4 squad hasn’t been able to throw much this fall, and Davis is among a backlog of senior receivers, many of whom possess more experience. The talented drummer, though, had no trouble maintaining his routine with the band despite only practicing during class. During the week, he misses each after-school band practice for football, only making it late to Thursday’s drills after an abbreviated football walkthrough. Then comes Friday: First-period calculus, second-period weight training, third-period band ... and a much-needed idle fourth block that allows Davis to head home for a break. He arrives back at the locker room in the late afternoon for the team meal, meetings and warmups. As Davis runs passing patterns in the pregame, the band’s “pit parents” busy themselves moving equipment along the track. Bass 3 – the middle of the five-drum bass section – is delivered along with Davis’ sticks. Davis watches the clock late in the second quarter and begins loosening his shoulder pads as soon as possible. When halftime starts, he’s got two minutes to slip off the pads and jersey and slip on the drum harness. “I grab the drum, do the show, put the pads back on, try to grab a quick

snack before the end of the half so I don’t cramp up,” Davis explained. “And I wake up at 8 or so Saturday and get ready to come here for a band competition.” Just last week, Davis endured that very scenario, with his section winning first place for its division Saturday at Ledford’s annual competition. Butler praised Davis’ sense of rhythm and said he’s indispensable, able to play anything on the drum line. “He does both really well,” Butler said. “He’s really committed to us and to football.” And even though Davis sees limited action during the games, Schwarzer also is thrilled the senior elected to play football this year. “He’s had a great attitude the whole time. He’s willing to do whatever is necessary for us to have success,” Schwarzer praised. “He attended every workout during the summer. He’s a phenomenal kid, the kind of kid you want to have around.” Davis’ football teammates agree: “They joke around sometimes about how I can do band and football, but they’re cool with me doing both,” Davis said when asked about the players’ reactions. As for his band mates? Davis could only laugh: “They joke around about it. They’re excited when we win, but I hear about it from them when we lose.” Butler admitted to initially being nervous about the idea: How would Schwarzer react? How would the football players treat Davis? Turns out both groups can coexist in perfect harmony. “Me and Coach Schwarzer are both relatively new, we’re both trying to get established and we both feel the desire to bring all the elements of the football atmosphere together,” Butler said. “He said to go for it, and it was great to see that happen.” shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

HIT AND RUN

---

f it’s Tuesday, it must be time for another hit and run about a Minnesota Vikings’ star who ranks as a strong early contender for NFL Most Valuable Player honors. No, not that Viking. Let’s look at the other side of the ball for a moment. Through five games, Minnesota defensive end Jared Allen ranks as one of the most disruptive forces in the league. Allen owns 61⁄2 sacks, including 41⁄2 in a recent victory over the Packers. He has forced

three fumbles, recorded a tackle for a safety and recovered two fumbles. He scooped up one of those fumbles and rumbled 52 yards for a touchdown to highlight Sunday’s 38-10 rout of the Rams. Sure, the Vikings dynamic duo of Brett Favre and Adrian Peterson sparks an explosive offense for a 5-0 team. But Allen is quickly emerging as the kind of defensive lineman that can single-handedly alter the complexion of a game. It’s early, but if he stays healthy Allen

figures to remain a factor in the race for Associated Press NFL MVP. It’s rare that a defensive player takes that honor. Since 1960, the only NFL MVPs who played on that side of the ball were Vikings defensive tackle Alan Page in 1971 and Giants linebacker Lawrence Taylor in 1986. That’s two legendary defenders. Don’t be surprised if Allen joins that impressive duo with an MVP award.

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

– MARK MCKINNEY ENTERPRISE SPORTS EDITOR

The details surrounding any Jon Beason-Julius Peppers conversation remained murky Monday. Neither player spoke to reporters, just as they shied away from questions following Carolina’s game a day earlier. The results were clear: Shortly after Beason called him out, Peppers was dominant and the Panthers tasted victory for the first time in 287 days. “Julius Peppers, who’s been under the microscope, so to be speak, I thought was much better,” coach John Fox said at his weekly news conference. Peppers, the four-time Pro Bowl defensive end making an NFL-high $16.7 million this season, entered Sunday’s game against Washington with one sack and 10 tackles in three games, all losses. After watching Minnesota’s Jared Allen record 41⁄2 sacks last Monday, Beason said on a local radio show that he planned to talk to Peppers about his lack of production. Peppers was quite loud on the field Sunday. Peppers had two sacks, two tackles for a loss, three quarterback hurries, four solo tackles and was instrumental in causing a safety in Carolina’s 20-17 comeback win over the Redskins.

Panthers sign Jackson to practice squad CHARLOTTE (AP) — The Carolina Panthers have signed former Appalachian State receiver Dexter Jackson to the practice squad. Receiver Jason Chery was released Monday. The speedy Jackson was taken by Tampa Bay in the second round of the 2008 draft. But he played in only seven games last season with limited success as a kickoff and punt returner. He eventually lost his return job last season and was slowed by an ankle injury in preseason this year. The Buccaneers cut him on Aug. 31. Jackson could eventually get a chance as a returner in Carolina.

Wolfpack defense still looking for answers RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Tom Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien spent a decade at Boston College, so the N.C. State coach has a pretty good idea how the Eagles will try to beat his defense. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(BC quarterback David Shinskie) is probably licking his chops after the last two games, watching us play pass defense,â&#x20AC;? Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien said Monday. Then again, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take much more than a quick glance at the stat sheet to figure that out.

N.C. Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stint as the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best defense? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history, after Wake Forestâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Riley Skinner and Dukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Thaddeus Lewis torched the Wolfpack (3-3, 0-2 ACC) in back-to-back weeks. They allowed a combined 820 yards passing and 79 points in a pair of losses, and once again find themselves looking for answers heading into Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trip to BC. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a lot of work to do,â&#x20AC;?

Holtz, Pirates THIS WEEKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S PREP GAMES regroup after FOOTBALL --tough week T.W. Andrews at Trinity Parkland at HP Central GREENVILLE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t blame East Carolina coach Skip Holtz for feeling optimistic about the days ahead. After all, things just have to get better after a rough week. His Pirates have limped into the midway point of the season with injuries, flu bugs and frustrating on-field mistakes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all of which surfaced during a weekend loss at SMU. So Holtz gave his players some extra time off when they returned home to help them get healthy and regroup for a home game against winless Rice on Saturday. The Pirates (3-3, 2-1 Conference USA) are coming off a 28-21 loss to the Mustangs in which SMU scored touchdowns on a blocked field goal, an interception return and a 96-yard pass play.

State officials: Stimulus aided teachers, laborers WASHINGTON (AP) – President Barack Obama’s stimulus plan spared tens of thousands of teachers from losing their jobs, state officials said Monday amid a nationwide effort to calculate the effect of Washington’s $787 billion recovery package.

NEW YORK (AP) – Investors waiting for earnings reports to flow in traded cautiously Monday, giving up early gains and leaving the market narrowly mixed. The Dow Jones industrials reached a new 2009 trading high, edging closer to 10,000. Volume was light because of the Columbus Day holiday. Bond markets were closed and there were no economic reports. Investors looked ahead to the flurry of earnings due this week from key companies including Intel Corp., Johnson & Johnson, IBM Corp. and General Electric Co. Top U.S. banks, including JPMorgan Chase & Co., Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Citigroup Inc. and Bank of America Corp. will issue reports as well. The Dow traded as high as 9,931, just 69 points away from 10,000, a level not seen in a year. The Dow closed up 20.86, or 0.2 percent, at 9,885.80. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 4.70, or 0.4 percent, to

At banks, investors are hoping to see signs that consumer loan defaults, including mortgages, are starting to level off, and will be looking for any potential trouble with commercial real estate loans. Overall, the market wants to see evidence that an economic recovery is under way. Analysts said traders are generally optimistic about the coming reports, especially after aluminum maker Alcoa Inc. – the first of the 30 companies that make up the Dow to report earnings – said last week that it turned a profit for the first time in nine months.

the expected end of desktop production on Jan. 20, the plant is center stage again as 905 mostly blue-collar employees prepare to find new work in a tough job market. Proponents cite the drawbacks in the Dell incentive contract as proof that the strategy works. “If there is a bright side to this, it’s the way the contract was structured,” said Dave Plyler, the chairman

of the Forsyth County commissioners. “The good news is all is not lost. The whole package has to come right back to us.” Opponents, however, charge that Dell’s inability or unwillingness to adapt the $115 million plant to its rapidly changing business model is a prime example of why elected officials shouldn’t use incentives to lure corporations.

One reason why local and state incentives for Dell drew support was that most analysts felt that there were few better corporate bets in 2004 than the world’s top computer-maker. “Its sales/production model was the envy of all,” said Michael Walden, an economics professor at N.C. State University. “It was very logical for North Carolina to want a Dell presence.”

Survey: Economists see recovery NEW YORK (AP) – More than 80 percent of economists believe the recession is over and an expansion has begun, but they expect the recovery will be slow as worries over unemployment and high federal debt persist. That consensus comes from leading forecasters in a survey by the National Association for Business Economics released Monday. “The survey found that the vast majority of business economists believe that the recession has ended but that the economic recovery is likely to be more moderate than those typically experienced fol-

lowing steep declines,” said NABE Presidentelect Lynn Reaser, chief economist at Point Loma Nazarene University. The forecasters upgraded the economic outlook for the next several quarters, but cautioned that unemployment rates and the federal deficit are expected to remain high through the next year. Forecasters now expect the economy, as measured by gross domestic product, to advance at a 2.9 percent pace in the second half of the year, after falling for four straight quarters for the first time on records dating to 1947. They expect a 3 percent gain in 2010.

Summers: Bush set stage for troubles WASHINGTON (AP) – A top White House official issued a robust defense of the Obama administration’s recovery policies on Monday with a pointed critique of economic conditions and fiscal policies during the presidency of George W. Bush. In a letter to House Republican leader John Boehner, White House chief economic adviser Lawrence Summers said Obama “is

committed to not repeating the fiscal mistakes of the last eight years.” Summer’s letter was in response to correspondence Obama received last week from Boehner and other top House Republicans, who complained the current administration was having no affect on unemployment and recommended a series of tax breaks to invigorate the economy.

Regulators fine Citigroup WASHINGTON (AP) – Citigroup Inc. has agreed to pay a $600,000 fine and be censured to settle regulators’ charges that it failed to supervise complex stocktrading strategies aimed at reducing the bank’s potential tax bill. The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, the brokerage industry’s self-policing organization, on Monday announced the civil fine against the bank’s division Citigroup Global Markets Inc. New York-based Citigroup did not admit or deny FINRA’s allegations.

Citigroup failed to supervise and control trading, and to prevent improper internal trades as well as those with some of the bank’s trading partners, FINRA said. The transactions in question occurred between 2000 and 2005. One of the strategies involved a Citigroup unit in New York buying stock from foreign brokerage customers. After some time had elapsed, during which the taxable dividends on the stock were paid out, the stock was sold back to the customers, FINRA said.

When dividends on U.S. company shares are paid to foreign investors, they may be subject to U.S. withholding taxes. Under the Citigroup arrangement, certain foreign customers were deemed to receive a “dividend equivalent” in a swap, not considered to be subject to withholding taxes. FINRA said it took into account that Citigroup discovered the alleged violations and reported them to the regulators, and that the bank and a law firm it hired to make a review aided FINRA in its investigation.

NEW YORK – Onyx Pharmaceuticals Inc. said Monday it will buy cancer drug developer Proteolix Inc. in a deal that could be worth as much as $851 million. Onyx will pay $276 million upfront for the privately held San Francisco company, and in the process it gains Proteolix’s cancer drug candidate carfilzomib, which is being tested as a treatment for multiple myeloma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma and solid tumors. Its drugs are designed to trigger cancer cell death with minimal damage to the rest of the patient’s body. Onyx will pay another $40 million next year if carfilzomib reaches a development milestone and will pay an $535 million more if carfilzomib is approved in the U.S. and Europe.
