CHANGE —

More cities are beginning to adopt zoning procedures that move away from quasi-judicial proceedings in an effort to adapt to evolving laws governing land use. City planners said Greensboro, Raleigh and Charlotte are among the cities that have adopted rules similar to those being considered by High Point.

WORKS

HIGH POINT – The High Point City Council will consider changing the policy used to evaluate some types of zoning cases. City officials presented members of the council’s Planning and Development Committee on Tuesday with draft revisions to the ordinance that governs conditional zoning. City Attorney Fred Baggett told the committee that under the current policy, conditional use zoning

cases could be vulnerable to court challenges in some instances where a zoning map amendment or conditional use permit for a project is being sought. Baggett Such cases involve “quasi-judicial” proceedings – hearings in which those who speak before the council or Planning and Zoning Commission must give sworn testimony and the council or commission must base its decision or recommendation on

“findings of fact” from the hearing. Case law has made it clear that the findings – such as a proposed use’s impact on the value of adjoining properties and the impact of traffic on public safety – must be proven by expert testimony. This apparently wasn’t done in some past cases. “It’s unnatural. It’s an awkward process. Quasi-judicial proceedings try to make zoning cases into something scientific. It’s always been a policy decision,” Baggett

County expects tough budget year

CAT’S MEOW HOMEBUYER TAX CREDIT: Series tells you what you need to know about incentive program. SUNDAY

BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

GUILFORD COUNTY – As the state budget gap widens, local governments can expect to face reduced allocations again this year, a budget expert told county commissioners Thursday. Although the “Great Recession” may be over, the economy won’t recover fast enough to help pay the bills, said Elaine Mejia, director of the nonprofit N.C. Budget and Tax Center. Revenue projections are down by $100 million so far and the revenue shortfall could grow to as much as $800 million by June 30, she said. “The source to recover the fastest is the income tax,” Mejia said. “Sales tax recovery will take a long time. Most economists say it will take a long time for the economy to recover.” Overall, county sales tax revenues remain stagnant at depressed levels, County Manager Brenda Jones-Fox told the Board of Commissioners during a retreat. “The sales tax revenues are down by $1.3 million and the property tax is in line with what we expected,” she said. Commissioners scheduled the budget briefings as part of their goal to pass a 2011 budget with no tax increase, if possible. Last June, commissioners passed a $586 million budget with no tax increase and level funding for the school district operations at $175 million. Commissioners could see the manager’s recommended 2011 budget as soon as April 15. Mejia said she expects Gov. Beverly Perdue will have “to find resources” to cover the budget gap as Medicaid and health care costs increase because legislators used one-time fixes to balance the budget. “The General Assembly may want the counties to absorb some costs,” Mejia said. “You’ll have to keep close tabs on the money.” The county will need to pay more than $20 million to service debts for school construction projects, a new downtown Greensboro jail annex and expansions at Guilford Technical Community College. “It is tough times,” Jones-Fox said. “We have had to say no, and we expect to make more adjustments. We will be looking at mandated and nonmandated services to see what we have to fund and what we don’t.” dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

Trinity officials to discuss recycling, truck ordinance BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Trinity officials will discuss several matters and projects in the city during an all-day work session this weekend. The Trinity City Council will hold its annual retreat Saturday at the Courtyard Marriott in High Point at 1000 Mall Loop Road. The meeting begins at 8:30 a.m. and lasts until discussion is concluded. The retreat is designed to give council members a chance to discuss topics more in-depth in a less formal setting, according to Ann Bailie, city manager. “It’s an opportunity to talk about the issues and provide some direction to staff depending on what the topic is,” she said. “Sitting around a table enhances the discussion back and forth, whereas regular City Council meetings are fairly formal.” One issue council members will discuss at the retreat is

RETREAT

—

The Trinity City Council Retreat begins at 8:30 a.m. Saturday at the Courtyard Marriott in High Point at 1000 Mall Loop Road. Topics such as recycling and a truck ordinance will be discussed throughout the day. It is scheduled to end at 4:15 p.m., but it could end earlier, organizers said. No action is expected to be taken.

recycling. Because Trinity does not offer a public trash or recycling collection service, the topic has been approached at several meetings since North Carolina’s plastic bottle ban, restricting certain plastic bottles from landfills, went into effect in October. “We had a big public meeting last April about trash and recycling when the ban was passed,” she said. “At that time, we decided not to make

any changes. We’re going to take another look and see if we want to do anything there.” A controversial truck ordinance also will be discussed, Bailie said. Enforcement of the ordinance, which prohibits the parking of large trucks, including cab and trailer, cab only and/or trailer in residential neighborhoods, was suspended last year after several residents made complaints. “We’re working to revise the ordinance to give it a little more balance,” she said. “Staff has been working on a proposal that will address many of the issues (with the ordinance) that will at least be a starting point for the council’s discussion.” The meeting is open to the public, but there will be no public comment period. Ginger Booker, assistant director of the Piedmont Triad Council of Governments, will direct the meeting. phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

Lawyers find no wrongdoing in Easley travel case recover the records after their removal from the hard drive. “I find it unacceptable that the records were not properly archived,” Perdue said in a release. Last year she ordered new safeguards for retaining patrol records. Melvin, on administrative duty pending the outcome of the investigation, will return to full duty Friday in the patrol’s research and planning unit, patrol spokesman Capt. Everett Clendenin said. According to the report, Easley talked to the attorneys Dec. 16 and said he didn’t even know that the patrol had kept such information. He suggested it may have been lost while his family moved out of the Executive Mansion, where troopers also worked, for renovations in 2005. “It was his view that if anything is amiss, it was simply a mistake on someone’s part,” the report said.

tion of wrongdoing in their disappearance or destruction,” the ninepage report said. The records were discovered missing as federal authorities probed Easley’s airline flights as part of a criminal investigation of activities surrounding him and first lady Mary Easley. Separately, the State Board of Elections ordered Easley’s campaign committee in October to pay $100,000 for failing to report dozens of airplane flights piloted by former political ally McQueen Campbell. The report followed two patrol reviews about the records that determined Melvin had not intended to destroy or remove the records. Perdue created the panel after administrative assistant Diane Bumgardner said Melvin had told her to put flight records on a disk to save computer space. Investigators couldn’t

RALEIGH (AP) – After interviews with former Gov. Mike Easley and his ex-security chief, an outside group of attorneys found no evidence anyone destroyed intentionally or hid state Highway Patrol records for Easley’s travel in 2005. Gov. Beverly Perdue’s office on Thursday released the report she requested in August from the three lawyers — former U.S. Sen. Robert Morgan, ex-state Supreme Court Justice Willis Whichard and former Court of Appeals Judge Ralph Walker. The panel talked with Easley, patrol Capt. Alan Melvin, who was head of Easley’s security detail from 2003 to 2007, and a patrol administrative assistant among others. “While we found minor inconsistencies in the stories about the records, we did not find the records themselves or any clear indica-

They would include factors for the council and commission to consider in reviewing an application, as well as conduct guidelines, such as the need to keep and open mind and not make a commitment prior to the public hearing.

“I see a list like this where there are no hard guidelines and ... it seems more muddy to me,” Councilman Bill Bencini said of the draft revisions. “The way it is now, we’ve got three findings, and if the findings are met, there’s not a whole lot of policy discussion that goes on.” One issue discussed was how much ordinance revisions should restrict contact between applicants, who are generally developers, and council members prior to the meeting where the case is heard. Council members asked city staff to look into how other cities deal with this issue and again report to the committee.

GUILFORD COUNTY – The Commission on Accreditation of Ambulance Services (CAAS) has approved reaccreditation for Guilford County’s Emergency Medical Service for compliance with national standards. Guilford County EMS is one of only 125 ambulance service providers in the country to successfully complete the voluntary review process and one of six in the state. Accreditation includes completion of a comprehensive application and on-site review by national experts in emergency medical services. The CAAS is a nonprofit organization established to encourage and

promote quality patient care in America’s medical transportation system. The commission’s standards often exceed state or local licensing requirements. “This accreditation represents our agency’s commitment not only to our patients but to the entire Guilford County community,” said EMS Director Alan W. Perdue. “Our organizational focus and commitment is to do what is expected and then some. We believe that aligning ourselves with the performance measures set forth in the re-accreditation process keeps us focused and on track for providing excellent services to the citizens and visitors of Guilford County.”

Understand the facts of Obama’s health care bill Listed are a few facts you don’t read about the recently passed 2,074-page Senate Obamacare bill. They are: • New taxes will start immediately, but 98 percent of benefits will not start until 2014. Whatever happened to the urgent need to provide individuals and families with health care who do not have it ASAP? Could it be Obama wants to get elected again? • Medicare is slashed by $470 billion, including cuts to Medicare home health care services. These are the cuts the Congressional Budget Office says will “reduce access to care or diminish the quality of care” for seniors. • Congress and staff are exempt from Obamacare. • Medicare Advantage is cut $120 billion for seniors except Florida. • Raises taxes by $518 billion, including new taxes on the middleclass, new taxes on wheelchairs, pacemakers, heart valves, and other medical devices, and new taxes on individuals and employers who do not retain the type of

Foreclosed home is put to good use

Larry Warlick, 415 Trindale Road, Archdale, NC 27263; 4313860

e can’t tell if First Bank came up with the idea on its own or picked it up from another financial institution and adopted it, but it’s a good one! First Bank, working with SHARE of North Carolina Inc., will donate a local foreclosed home for a low- to moderate-income family, with the official transfer of property set to take place today. SHARE’s Web site claims it is a “nonprofit created to provide counseling, homeowner education and affordable housing to deserving low- to moderate-income families.” SHARE has successfully implemented its program in High Point’s West Macedonia area and has similar programs in place in the West End and Southside communities. Hats off to Joe Youngblood, senior vice president and area executive for First Bank, for coming up with the business model that well may be replicated throughout the Troy-based First Bank organization. Donating the foreclosed house, which will be renovated prior to resale, is much better use for the property than for the bank to “sit on it” for months until the economy and real estate situations improve. Hopefully, other financial institutions will consider following the model.

Planting longleaf pines would help

hile the Copenhagen climate confab was in full force last month trying to make the U.S. feel guilty for becoming the world’s leading developed nation, the National Wildlife Federation released a 22-page report that should interest anyone seeking a practical response to concerns about global climate change. As those gathered in Copenhagen argued over tactics for transferring wealth of developed nations to undeveloped nations, the Wildlife Federation was promoting a proposal that actually would help the environment – planting longleaf pines in the Southeastern U.S. to revive the species of tree that once dominated the Southeast’s landscape. The NWF report, although heavy in climate change doomsday speculation, highlights the many environmental and economic pluses that longleaf pine reforestation represent. More information is available at www.nwf.org/longleafpine.

Yemen says Nigerian may have met radical cleric

Wife: CIA bomber hated the US

SANâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;A, Yemen (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Yemen on Thursday provided the most comprehensive account yet of contacts between al-Qaida and the Nigerian accused of trying to blow up a U.S. airliner, saying he may have met with a radical U.S.-born cleric who previously had contact with the alleged Fort Hood shooter. In the weeks before the attempted airliner attack, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab met with al-Qaida operatives in a remote mountainous region that was later hit in an airstrike that targeted a gathering of the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top leaders, Yemenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deputy prime minister said. The account by Rashad al-Alimi, who oversees security issues in the government, filled in some of the blanks. Among those he may have met with was the U.S.-born radical cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, who has also been linked to the gunman who killed 13 people at Fort Hood in November.

Triad bridges among NC’s most substandard BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

AT A GLANCE

TRIAD – Bridges in the Triad remain among the top substandard spans in North Carolina, though a report released Thursday by AAA Carolinas shows the state is making progress overall in bridge repair and replacement. A 54-year-old bridge in Guilford County carrying more than 117,000 vehicles daily is rated North Carolina’s top substandard bridge for the third consecutive year, according to AAA Carolinas’ annual survey. The bridge is on Interstate 40-85 over South Buffalo Creek in Greensboro. Of the 20 top substandard bridges in the state, half are in the Triad in either Guilford or Forsyth counties. None of the substandard bridges poses an immediate threat to motorists, AAA Carolinas reports. Substandard bridges are classified as structurally deficient or functionally obsolete. Structurally deficient means the bridge is in relatively poor physical condition or inadequate to handle certain truck weights, while functionally obsolete means the span has inadequate design for traffic volumes.

—

Ten bridges in Guilford and Forsyth counties are among the top 20 substandard bridges in the state, as listed by AAA Carolinas. They are: • Bridge over South Buffalo Creek on Interstate 40-85 in Greensboro • Bridge over Liberty Street on I-40 business in Winston-Salem • Bridge over State Road 1452 on U.S. 220 in Guilford County • Bridge over Little Creek on U.S. 421 in Forsyth County • Bridge over 28th Street on U.S. 52 in Winston-Salem • Bridge over State Road 4315 on U.S. 52/311 in Forsyth County • Bridge over Southern Railroad tracks on U.S. 220 in Guilford County • Bridge over Salem Creek on I-40 business in Winston-Salem • Bridge over 25th Street on U.S. 52 in Winston-Salem • Bridge over Yanceyville Street on U.S. 220 in Guilford County

AAA Carolinas, which has ranked North Carolina substandard bridges for 13 years, said state officials did make progress during 2009 addressing substandard spans.

“This is the first year since 1997 the Department of Transportation has been able to reduce the number of North Carolina’s substandard bridges to less than 30 percent (28.5 percent) of the state’s 18,265 bridges. This improvement has occurred despite inadequate funding in an era of budget shortfall,” AAA Carolinas reports. State officials took advantage of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, known commonly as the federal stimulus, to appropriate about $12 million for bridge repairs and about $43 million for replacing 44 bridges in the state. The stimulus spending was in addition to the DOT’s funding of about $180 million each year from federal aid in the Transportation Improvement Program for bridge replacements, AAA Carolinas reports. AAA Carolinas figures show 30 percent of the 649 bridges in Guilford County are rated as substandard. In Davidson County, 24 percent of the 350 bridges surveyed are listed as substandard, while in Randolph County 29 percent of the 371 bridges are classified substandard, AAA Carolinas reports. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

King Prayer Breakfast scheduled

HIGH POINT â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Martin Luther King Scholarship Prayer Breakfast will be held at 8 a.m. Jan. 18 at Williams Memorial CME Church, 3400 Triangle Lake Road. At the breakfast, college scholarships will be presented to two or three local high school students. Tickets are $10, and they will be available at the door. A service will be held at 7 p.m. the same day at the church. Guest speaker will be John W. Kinney, dean of the School of Theology at Virginia Union University.

I am writing to recognize a special group of people within our community. Recently, the employees at the Bank of North Carolina on Elm Street in High Point extended their generosity to a local family in need and provided them with a Christmas that they otherwise would not have had. Of their own accord, the employees there rallied together and gave of themselves to ensure that others would have a wonderful Christmas. I am proud to have such a caring group of people in our community, and I think it is indicative of a bank that really cares about its community. Thank you, Bank of North Carolina; your altruism was an answer to prayer. MARIE CONNER Oak Ridge

Boys dread two more years of high school harassment D

ear Abby: I am a short, 5-foot-5inch high school sophomore. I am smallboned and my voice is high-pitched. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m terrible at sports, and physical education class is a nightmare. I have become friends with another guy, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rick,â&#x20AC;? who is much like me, and it helps to have someone who has similar problems. Because Rick and I hang out together, some of the macho guys have started a rumor that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re gay, and now everyone in the school thinks itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true. Our PE teacher has even made comments to this effect, which compounds the problem. Rick and I are shunned and have even been physically attacked because of this. We are not gay. We are just good friends who share common problems. We are interested in girls, but they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t interested in us. When I try to say Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not gay, they say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then who is your girlfriend?â&#x20AC;? When I tell them I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have one, they laugh at me. Rick and I are both â&#x20AC;&#x153;Aâ&#x20AC;? students. We keep telling ourselves that we will succeed where some of the macho guys who are obvious losers will not, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have the last laugh. However, this is still a terrible situation for us, and we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stand

ADVICE

the thought of another two years like this. Please help. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Sophomore in Sacramento

Dear Abby

Dear Sophoâ&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; more: If you and your friend havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t already told your parents whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on, do so immediately. Then you and your parents should pay a visit to the school principal to report that you have been attacked by other students and misidentified as gay not only by your peers, but also by a member of the staff. It appears that both staff and student body in your school need to be educated about the fact that discrimination, assault and hate crimes are illegal. And if the harassment is not stopped immediately, your families should take this matter to a lawyer. Dear Abby: My 38-year-old married daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house is filthy. Her youngest is now in the hospital with pneumonia, and her two other kids are sick all the time. They are constantly coughing, have runny noses, fever and ear infections. I

have tried talking to her regarding her housekeeping but she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to hear anything I have to say. Her husband has convinced her that they have â&#x20AC;&#x153;more important things to be concerned withâ&#x20AC;? than a clean house. He says they have love, and a clean house doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter. The oldest girl is 11, and she tells me sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s embarrassed to have anyone visit her. She has no friends (nor does my daughter) and I am afraid her life will go down along with my daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Can you help me to help them? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Grandma in South Carolina Dear Grandma: My first suggestion is to hire someone to clean your daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house once a month, if thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doable. The second is to discuss your very real concerns with the doctor who is treating your grandchild for pneumonia. While your son-in-law may think that a house filled with love doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be clean, if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so dirty it is hazardous to the health of the children who live there, he is seriously mistaken. Dear Abby: I have an etiquette question my friends and I are wondering about. What is an appropriate response when you find out someone is expecting but she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t

want to be? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Congratulationsâ&#x20AC;? doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem right, but neither does, â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have my sympathy.â&#x20AC;? I feel lost when this situation comes up. Do you have any ideas? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Melissa in Kansas Dear Melissa: How about, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I heard the news. If there is anything you need, please let me know.â&#x20AC;?

Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Blood is the ďŹ&#x201A;uid that all creatures need in order to sustain life. It is impossible to live without it. Blood travels to every cell in the body through the circulatory system, and it is respon- The human circulatory system is much like a maze, with our blood running sible for many vital functions, such as delivering oxygen, tak- through it to deliver food and oxygen to all parts of our bodies, while taking ing carbon dioxide away, feeding different parts of our bodies away carbon dioxide and waste at the same time. Complete the maze below. with the nutrients we get from our food, and helping to heal our wounds when we are injured. Each person has roughly ďŹ ve a half liters of blood in their body. Blood is comprised of water, red cells, white cells, platelets, and plasma. Red blood cells are responsible for carrying the oxygen and carbon dioxide throughout the body, while the white blood cells are the ones that ďŹ ght off foreign invaders, such as bacteria and viruses when we are sick. Platelets are responsible for clotting our wounds and creating a scab when injuries occur. Plasma is what is left over in the blood, such as water and the nutrients and minerals moving around from cell to cell in the body. Human blood is referred to as ABO or ABO Blood Group. There are four distinct types found in humans: A, B, AB, and O. The difference in types of blood is found in the red blood cells; some cells possess an antigen, or protein, on the surface. In case of emergencies, doctors can give patients blood donated by other people to victims in need, as long as they are compatible. People with blood type O are called universal donors. Their blood can be given to anyone, since there are no antibodies against other blood types found in their blood, but they can only receive O in return. People with AB blood are called universal recipients, as they can take any other blood type. Types A and B must receive their exact type, or type O. The Rh factor refers to whether a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blood is designated as positive or negative. Again, this is determined by the presence or absence of an antigen, or protein. People with Rh positive blood can receive donations from those without it, but not vice versa. January is National Blood Donor Awareness Month. Talk to your parents and ask them if they donate blood. In most states, you must be 17 years old and weigh 110 pounds in order to donate. Remember that giving blood saves lives!

Rest, protective padding and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (Aleve, Advil) often can end the problem. In resistant cases, the bursa is removed. Or she could have arthritic knees. In that case, arthritis treatment has to be instituted. Again, medicines such as the anti-inflammatory drugs can be a big help. How about writing back and giving me her diagnosis? Dear Dr. Donohue: After tests for an unrelated problem, it was discovered that my daughter, 11 years old, has only one kidney. She has no kidney problems – no signs or symptoms. What are her chances of living normally? – C.T. Nature has been bountiful to us in giving us two kidneys. We do well with one. In fact, we do well even with just part of one. Your daughter’s lifespan and health should be no different from that of a person with two kidneys. DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible. Readers may write him or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475

Bill Hartley makes a name in California

ART CONTEST

---

ome of the older folks in the greater High Point area no doubt remember Bill Hartley, a city native who made all-state in basketball while playing for High Point High School (Class of 1947) and received a scholarship to Wake Forest University, from which he also graduated. His brother Stewart Hartley, who visited with Bill over the holidays, passes along some good news about Bill. Bill was a U.S. Marine Corps officer during HERE & the Korean THERE conflict, became a member of Tom the PGA in 1960 Blount and was head ■■■ professional at Camp Pendleton for 22 years. He also was director of the first National PGA Golf School No. 2 at Lake San Marcos, Calif. Among his many other honors, he was selected PGA Professional of the Year for Southern California in 1976 and Player of the Year, San Diego PGA chapter, in 1976, ’82 and ’83. Bill was president of the San Diego chapter for six years, served as head professional at Palo Alto Municipal and Vista Valley Country Club, where he also was developer and part owner. He has played in a wide variety of professional tournaments – the Bob Hope Classic perhaps the best-known – and, now in his 80s, continues to give instructions at Center City Golf Course in Oceanside, Calif. But, the big news is that, on Dec. 6, Bill Hartley was inducted into the Southern California PGA Section Hall of Fame.

Can-do approach YMCA offers classes, collects food for charity BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

IGH POINT – Saturday morning is your opportunity to report for “Booty Camp,” with no obligations. “Booty Camp,” an exercise class that focuses on toning your, um, “booty,” is one of several sample classes that will be offered at the Hartley Drive Family YMCA during the Y’s annual “Get Your Can To Class” event. The event will take place Saturday, beginning at 8:30 a.m., and the only cost to participate is a can of food, which will be

’This is a nice opportunity for people to try some different classes they may not be familiar with.’ Kara Loggins YMCA health and fitness director donated to Open Door Ministries. “We used to do this event in December, but we found out that the shelter doesn’t need food donations as much in November and December – they need it after the holidays,” says Kara Loggins, health and fitness director for the local Y. “We just ask everyone to bring one can of food.” In exchange for the food donation, participants – YMCA members and nonmembers alike – can take a 30-minute sample session of one of the Y’s regular fitness classes – everything from step aerobics and yoga to the aforementioned “Booty Camp.” The schedule is as follows: • 8:30 a.m. – “Booty Camp” (which focuses on the gluteals, hip flexors and extensors) and introduction to cycling. • 9 a.m. – CORE (focusing on strengthening the back and abdominal muscles) and cycling. • 9:30 a.m. – Step (a low-impact aerobics class that involves stepping up and down on a platform while performing choreographic movements to music) and cycling.

“Get Your Can To Class” will be held Saturday, beginning at 8:30 a.m., at the Hartley Drive Family YMCA, 150 W. Hartley Drive. Thirty-minute sample classes will be offered, including cycling, “booty camp,” step aerobics, power pump, introduction to kettlebells, yoga and water exercise. The event is open to members and nonmembers. Participants are asked to bring a can of food, which will be donated to Open Door Ministries.

We have a lot of regular Y members who bring friends who are not members, and we encourage that – it’s open to members and nonmembers alike.” jtomlin@hpe.com | 888-3579

In April, Randolph Hospital will have several new pieces of artwork hanging in the hospital. Right now, the pieces are “works in progress,” but be sure that each piece will be worthy of a $250 investment that will enhance the education of local high-school artists. “Because of the outstanding success of the inaugural show we hosted in honor of our 75th Anniversary Celebration in 2006, Randolph Hospital has decided to make this an annual event,” says April Thornton, director of public relations and development at Randolph Hospital. Open to Asheboro City, Randolph County, private and homeschooled highschool students, the show will feature artwork from five different categories. The categories include 3-D section (metalwork, wood and pottery), 2-D drawing (black and white pencil), 2-D drawing (colored pencil), painting (oils, acrylics) and printmaking all under the theme “Art in Motion.” On April 30, at a reception at The Exchange in downtown Asheboro, a winner from each category will receive a $250 scholarship to go toward future educational endeavors. In addition, the winning pieces of artwork will be on display at Randolph Hospital for a year. Students who wish to participate must be in high school and have their work turned in by April 22. For more information, contact Lauren Ingold at (336) 633-7755 or email lingold@ randolphhospital. org.

Friday, Jan. 8, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Ami Dolenz, 41; R. Kelly, 43; David Bowie, 63; Robby Krieger, 64 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Work quietly behind the scenes. Completing what you are working on without any interference will enable you to complete what you start and take any competitors or meddlers by surprise. It is your show this year and you must not forget that, even if someone tries to pull in the reins and take control of what you are doing. Your numbers are 1, 9, 18, 20, 23, 35, 39 ARIES (March 21-April 19): You will have regrets if you give anyone control over your situation. Start the ball rolling and you will discover who is 100 percent behind you and who is not. Surround yourself with doers, not talkers and slackers. ★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Discover new interests, explore professional options, travel for business or pleasure or get involved in a workshop. Love and romance are in the stars. Share your interests and time with someone special. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): There is money to be made but you have to be diligent about the way you spend. Don’t limit your chance to get a big-ticket item you’ve been wanting because you make too many impulse purchases. A colleague or peer will show you how to invest wisely. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Plan something entertaining that can lead to a little romance or, at the very least, fun with your friends. The company of others will spark new ideas. A partnership will form with someone whose ideas mirror yours. ★★★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t get sidetracked. You will make a better impression if you put in long hours and finish what you started. Someone’s change of plans will cause you to question whether or not you should be dealing with this person. ★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The opportunity to make some very successful changes in your life will occur if you get out and network with people who have similar interests. Do not let anyone slow you down. Discard anyone who appears to be holding you back. ★★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don’t limit yourself because you are having trouble getting along. Look at your past goals and you will soon discover a lucrative alternative to your current financial situation. Don’t fall short of your goals because you are emotionally burdened. ★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You really need a change. Consider making a move that will give you greater inspiration or potential. Use your creative talent to the fullest and enlist some of the people you know and trust to help you. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’ll have lots of energy to pursue your interests and take on challenges. Rethink your strategy about an emotional matter or you could suffer unforeseen consequences. Sudden changes at home will leave you in a very vulnerable position. ★★★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You are in the driver’s seat. Take pride in what you have accomplished and let others see first hand what you are capable of doing. Don’t let a burden tie you down. You will receive help if you ask. ★★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t spend unnecessarily. An investment will turn out to be worth more than anticipated. Making a move will enable you to make new friends who can offer you stability and a much better future. The more you learn, the more you can move forward. ★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): An investment you make will help you pull things together with the potential to draw interest and demand. With a little ingenuity and a gentle push, you can make some positive changes to your personal, financial and professional life. ★★★★★

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

The United States had two teams in the 2009 Bermuda Bowl. “USA 2” won the world title; “USA 1” failed to qualify for the knockout stage. Still, Peter Boyd of “USA 1” found a memorable defense in today’s deal. Against three spades, Boyd led the nine of hearts. Declarer took the ace and could have succeeded by finessing in clubs next. Instead, he tried a diamond to his king. Boyd won and found the only return to ruin declarer: the QUEEN of spades.

DAILY QUESTION FIFTH DIAMOND South won, ruffed a diamond, led a club to his jack and took the ace. He exited with a diamond, but East took two diamonds. Boyd ruffed the fifth diamond and won another trump trick with his 8-7-3. A low trump or a heart by West at Trick Three wouldn’t work. Declarer could reach a position where West would have to ruff something and lead a trump from his queen to South’s A-K-10. Peter Boyd of Washington, D.C., is more than a fine player. In 2009 he received the ACBL Sportsmanship Award for his gentlemanly demeanor.

You hold: S A K 10 5 4 H 10 D K 10 7 5 3 C A J. You open one spade, and your partner bids two spades. What do you say? ANSWER: Bid four spades. Two-suited hands become powerful when a trump fit is established. You can usually set up your second suit, often with ruffs in dummy. A suitable minimum hand for partner – Q J 6, 8 7 6 5, A 8, 8 7 6 3 – may be enough for 11 tricks. Don’t mention your diamonds; you’d mention them mostly to the defenders. West 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.

Civil War dispute ends in courtroom stalemate STANARDSVILLE, Va. (AP) – A judge in Virginia says it’s a draw between two Union and Confederate Civil War re-enactors who got into a tussle on the battlefield. A judge found each man not guilty of assault on Wednesday after they pressed charges against each other over the

dispute last September. The men were playing cavalry officers in a reenactment of the Battle of Stanardsville. The Confederate re-enactor claims his Union counterpart knocked his hat off. The Confederate was accused of responding by firing a blank round from

his revolver. There was no bullet, but the powder charge injured the Union re-enactor. Both men were on horseback and both said their actions were accidental. The judge concluded he could not find either man guilty “beyond a reasonable doubt.”

Collaboration with RPM excites Biffle E

ven though Richard Petty Motorsports’ move from Dodge in the takeover of Yates Racing wasn’t regarded as a blockbuster move in the NASCAR world, Roush-Fenway driver Greg Biffle is seeing that it is already beginning to show dividends for all Ford teams. “Combining the technology, somewhat, from the RPM group has helped us a little bit, I think,” Biffle said. “I think we were able to help them a little bit, so we were able to put two technologies together.” And, Roush-Fenway is looking for some fresh thinking after it won the first two races of the season with Matt Kenseth and didn’t taste victory again until Jamie McMurray prevailed in the fall race at Talladega. Biffle and Carl Edwards, winners in 2008, both went winless. The big plus about the addition of the RPM group, Biffle said, is that it won two races last year with Kasey Kahne. That’s a definite upgrade from the Yates team, which struggled to run in the top 20 most weeks. In the merger, RPM lost one team and Yates lost one – leaving a four-car team with a driver lineup of Kahne, Elliott Sadler, A.J. Allmendinger and Paul Menard. “We’ve added a couple of good, quality guys that won races last year or came close to winning races, so that’s certainly gonna help the Ford camp pick up some more wins,” Biffle said. “We’re really excited about that. Like I said, we’ve already consolidated some of those technologies and I think it’s really helped us and is going to help us.” Some of the information traded so far came from a couple of Goodyear tire tests. Biffle participated in one at Phoenix. Kahne was among those chosen to make laps at California. Biffle is set to do another at Texas. “I think we’re gonna have a good mixed bag of data coming back into the organization from those three race tracks before the season starts,” Biffle said. Roush-Fenway has been concentrating on making its cars better in several areas, according to Biffle. “Prior to Christmas we really just talked about what we needed to do and we worked on it some,” Biffle said. “Really since the New Year – this week – we’ve worked really hard,” Biffle said. “I’ve been at the shop everyday and we’ve been in meetings and doing different things. We’ve got a lot of exciting stuff. We’ve lightened our cars up, which we feel is gonna be important to help get some more ballast in them and get the weight balance correct. We’ve come up with new (suspension) geometries. Some of it has been through the merger. Some of it has been

through what we’ve learned.”

SCHRADER IN SHOOTOUT Red Bull Racing announced Thursday that veteran SPORTS Ken Schrader will drive its No. 82 Greer in next month’s Smith Shootout at Day■■■ tona. The team’s usual driver, Scott Speed, isn’t eligible for the exhibition race. Schrader became eligible when the race was opened up to its former winners.

SLOTS FILLED Some teams wasted little time in the new year to announce drivers. Thomasville native Brian Vickers will be part of Braun Racing’s driver lineup in the Nationwide series. Vickers will return to Braun’s No. 32 for 10 races. Reed Sorenson, who was left without a ride in the RPMYates merger, is set for the other 23 oval track races. Team owner Kevin Harvick said he and Elliott Sadler will be among the drivers of Kevin Harvick Inc.’s No. 2 entry in the Truck Series. Sadler is set for eight races and Harvick for seven. Drivers are to be announced for the other 10 races. On the Cup side: Front Row Motorsports is switching from Chevrolet to Ford with new drivers Travis Kvapil and Kevin Conway – leaving John Andretti out of a ride. Kvapil became part of the Ford group when he drove for Yates Racing in 2008 and the first five races of 2009. Conway will campaign for Rookie of the Year and is thought to be bringing sponsorship. Andretti told NASCAR.com that he is talking with Front Row about doing the Daytona 500 and some other races. Shortly after the end of last season, Andretti said he was not sure if he wanted to race full-time in the Cup series again.

SERVICES SET Funeral services are set today in Greenville, S.C., for Larry Frank, the ex-Marine who got his only Cup victory in a controversial finish to the 1962 Southern 500. Junior Johnson was flagged the winner. Frank, who scraped across the finish line with two tires flat, protested the scoring and after a lengthy recheck was declared the winner. Frank died Tuesday at age 80. He competed in 103 NASCAR premier series races from 19561966, finishing 10 times in the top five. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Wizards plan fines over pregame antics WASHINGTON (AP) — The Washington Wizards plan to fine some players for participating in Gilbert Arenas’ on-court antics that made light of his gun troubles, an NBA official said Thursday. The official told The Associated Press that the team is reviewing details from the Tuesday night game at Philadelphia before determining who will be fined and how much. The official has direct knowledge of the team’s plans and spoke on condition of anonymity because the review was still ongoing. Before the game, Arenas was surrounded by his teammates when he knelt on the court and pointed his index fingers at them, as if he were firing guns. A photograph shows nearly all the players laughing or smiling. The official said the fines would be contingent in part on whether Arenas and his teammates planned it ahead of time. Arenas was suspended indefinitely without pay by the NBA on Wednesday for bringing guns to the Verizon Center and related

incidents, including a locker room spat with teammate Javaris Crittenton that involved firearms. Commissioner David Stern was particularly upset that Arenas joked about it, adding that the player was “not currently fit to take the court.” The Wizards also rebuked Arenas and the players who found his behavior “amusing,” saying their actions were “unacceptable.” The team is owned by the family of the late Abe Pollin, who changed the team’s name from Bullets because of the violent connotation. The Wizards have told Arenas to stay away from games, practices and other team functions. Arenas is also under investigation by federal and local authorities for possible violations of the strict gun laws in the nation’s capital, and evidence is being presented to a grand jury. Because the Verizon Center in a designated “gun free zone” — within 1,000 feet of a day care center — Arenas would be subject to twice the fine or jail sentence if he is convicted.

WOFFORD UNCG

he previous year brought us several words and phrases that I hope we can avoid in 2010. I don’t know about you, but I’ve had my fill of such terms as “Jon and Kate,” “shovel ready” and “tweeting.” There was another term that appeared more and more frequently last year – “Tebow fatigue.” I understand that the record-setting quarterback for the Florida Gators rubbed some the wrong way. He received tons of national exposure and it may have been too much for critics to handle.

But I’ll admit it. I’m a huge fan of Tebow the player and an even bigger admirer of Tebow the person. I smiled when Tebow capped his college career in style with a Sugar Bowl performance for the ages, passing for a careerhigh 482 yards and three touchdowns, rushing for 51 yards and another score and finishing with a BCS-game record 533 yards of total offense. The Gators crushed Cincinnati 51-24 in a game that nearly wasn’t that close. Tebow ended his career with two national titles, three bowl victories, the 2007 Heisman

Trophy and a legacy as one of the brightest stars in college football history. His charitable work and faith are admirable, as were his unquestioned toughness and leadership skills on the field. Instead of “Tebow fatigue,” I expect I’ll miss No. 15 when next college football season rolls around. He’ll likely make an impact in the NFL, but it will be almost impossible to live up to his college body of work. Thanks for the memories, Tim.

Eric Mangini came up with his biggest win yet. Mangini will return for a second season as Cleveland’s coach, a stunning personal victory following a four-game winning streak by the Browns that may have saved his job. New team president Mike Holmgren decided Thursday to retain Mangini, whose job security was in jeopardy after the Browns started 1-11. Mangini’s staff has been asked to return as well. Holmgren spent the past two days in meetings with Mangini, who was fired after last season by the New York Jets. “I was able to gain some tremendous insight into his thought process and philosophies, and came away from our meetings very impressed,” Holmgren said in a statement. “In my opinion, Eric has gained the respect and admiration of players, coaches and others in the organization, and with him continuing to lead the team I feel that we are headed in the right direction.”

Leach moves for quick trial LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Attorneys for fired coach Mike Leach said Thursday they want to take Texas Tech to trial in the next six weeks and want to question some of the key figures in his dismissal. The coachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legal team filed court documents Thursday asking a state district judge to allow them to question administrators and others in about two weeks. One person they want to question is Adam

James, the sophomore receiver whose family complaint about how Leach him after a concussion ultimately led to the coachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s firing last month. James said his coach twice ordered him to stand for hours while confined in a dark place during practice. Sally Post, a Texas Tech spokeswoman, said the university could not comment because it had not yet been served with notice of the filings.

KAPALUA, Hawaii (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; U.S. Open champion Lucas Glover returned to Kapalua and had another miserable start to the first round of a new PGA Tour season. The difference Thursday was how he finished. Glover recovered from a double bogey on his opening hole by going 9-under par over a ninehole stretch in the middle of his round. He finished it off with a tap-in birdie for a 7-under 66 and a oneshot lead in the seasonopening SBS Championship.

Scheyer, a prep star in suburban Northbrook, Ill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many people havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been able to see me play. This is their first time being able to see me, so that means a lot, too. ... I know people changed their plans to be here.â&#x20AC;? Scheyer, who scored more than 3,000 points for Glenbrook North High, shot 10 of 19 with four 3-pointers. And he did it on the court at the United Center. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was a little nervous at our shootaround because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been here so many times to watch games and seen so many great players here,â&#x20AC;? Scheyer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not too many courts I walk on that I feel like it is a big deal. But for me it was today and it ended up being a good night.â&#x20AC;?

CHICAGO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; As homecomings go, Jon Scheyerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s was about as good as it gets. The Duke star saw the familiar faces in the stands and heard the voices of those who had been part of his life â&#x20AC;&#x201D; friends, teachers and family. About 500 of them cheering his every move. And they had plenty to get excited about Wednesday night. Scheyer scored 31 points on a variety of shots and led the fifthranked Blue Devils to an 86-65 victory over Iowa State. He called it an experience that was both emotional and a little weird. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were people who have been there for me throughout my whole life since Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been a little kid,â&#x20AC;? said

A Holliday in St. Louis: star signs big new deal

Reid’s record in jeopardy PHILADELPHIA (AP) – If the Eagles have one advantage over the Cowboys in their playoff rematch, it’s the man in charge. Andy Reid is undefeated in playoff openers, going 7-0 during his first 10 seasons as Philadelphia’s coach. On the other side, Wade Phillips has never won a playoff game. He’s 0-4 with Dallas, Buffalo and Denver. So one coach wants to continue a streak and the other wants to end his when the two teams, both 11-5, meet in Dallas in an NFC wild-card game Saturday night. Phillips and his staff clearly outcoached Reid and his crew in a 24-0

victory last Sunday that gave Dallas the NFC East title and cost the Eagles a first-round bye. Reid, as usual, took the blame for Philadelphia’s poor performance, even though he wasn’t the one dropping passes, giving up big plays or missing open receivers. “I want to make this very clear. It starts with the head coach,” Reid said. “They outsmarted us. That’s our challenge, from a coaching standpoint, to do a better job.” Reid has a tough task convincing his team it can go back to Dallas and win six days after being dominated. The Cowboys also won in Philly – 20-16 – on Nov. 8.

Miles Austin and the Dallas Cowboys hope to provide a chilly reception to coach Andy Reid and his Philadelphia Eagles in Saturday’s first-round playoff game.

Jets’ defense demands respect FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) – The New York Jets have the NFL’s top-ranked defense, yet they keep hearing about what they haven’t done this season. They can’t close out opponents in close games. They can’t put points on the board off turnovers. They can’t get to the quarterback consistently enough. “We understand people still doubt our capabilities, but, hey, they also said we weren’t going to make the playoffs,” cornerback Lito Sheppard said Thursday. “Look where we’re at now. We love it. It definitely keeps us motivated, not that we need it, but it definitely adds to it.”

If the Jets (9-7) can shut down Carson Palmer, Chad Ochocinco and the Bengals (10-6) for the second straight week – this time in a first-round playoff game Saturday at Cincinnati – Rex Ryan’s defense might start getting the respect it says it deserves. “We’ve obviously played well and, statistically, we’re at the top, and you can’t take that away from us,” safety Jim Leonhard said. “Now we’re in the playoffs and this is when that defense should shine.” From a numbers standpoint, the Jets would appear to have a monstrous, dominant defense that

should strike fear into any opponent, and that’s even without having injured big nose tackle Kris Jenkins. They finished the regular season allowing the fewest yards, by far, with 252.3 per game – more than 30 less than Green Bay (284.4). New York gave up a league-low 187 offensive points, finished first in pass defense, held opposing quarterbacks to an NFL-low 58.8 passer rating, and created the highest percentage of three-andouts. The gaudy stats go on and on, and it’s clear the Jets have an excellent defense. But, is it great?

Bengals still missing Henry CINCINNATI (AP) – Four pairs of cleats are neatly arranged on a lower ledge. The tiger-striped helmet hangs from a black hook on the left side of the wooden cubicle. T-shirts are bunched on hangers in the back. Shoulder pads rest upside-down on the top shelf. The Bengals haven’t cleaned out Chris Henry’s locker yet. They haven’t really replaced him, either. Henry’s death last month staggered his former teammates, who attended his funeral in New Orleans, then played poorly in their last two games. They’ll have decals with his No. 15 on the backs of their helmets when they host the New York Jets in a wild-card playoff on Saturday. His absence continues to touch them in many ways. “Chris was a big part of our offense, and a part of our offense that we weren’t able to replace,” said quarterback Carson Palmer, who delivered a eulogy at his funeral. “Chris was a friend that is missed more than anything.”

Palmer had a special connection with the 26-year-old receiver. On Cincinnati’s second play in a 2005 playoff against Pittsburgh, Palmer completed a 66-yard pass to Henry that was the longest in Bengals playoff history. Both suffered knee injuries on the play. Palmer’s left knee was shredded by a hit from Kimo von Oelhoffen after he threw the pass. Henry hurt his right knee when he was tackled, and left the game a few plays later. With the two stars gone, the Bengals lost 31-17. Both recovered, though Henry’s off-field problems led the team to release and then re-sign him. At age 26, he seemed to have started turning his life around this year. His teammates have kept his memory alive in the locker room, and on the day Henry died, the players dedicated the rest of the season to the receiver and to Vikki Zimmer, the wife of defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer. She died at the couple’s home earlier in the season.

Five tied for Africa Open lead EAST LONDON, South Africa (AP) – Richard Sterne shot a bogey-free 7-under 66 Thursday for a five-way tie after the first round of the Africa Open. Sterne started on the back nine and made three straight birdies from the 15th. He added three more on his next five holes to sit tied with Patrik Sjoland of Sweden, South African duo Titch Moore and Trevor Fisher Jr. and Mark Haastrup of Denmark. Four other South African players, including Carl Schwartzel and Thomas Aiken, were a shot back at 6 under in the European Tour event.

ST. LOUIS (AP) – Matt Holliday hopes to be teammates with Albert Pujols for a long time. “I think he’s going to be here at least two more years and hopefully forever,” Holliday said Thursday after finalizing his $120 million, seven-year contract with the St. Louis Cardinals. “Hopefully, he’ll be here for the rest of his career and we can do some damage.” Coming off his third NL MVP award, Pujols is entering the final guaranteed season of a $100 million, seven-year contract that includes a $16 million team option for 2011. Chairman Bill DeWitt said there have been no negotiations on an extension for Pujols, who told the team recently to take care of more pressing matters. “We haven’t started those discussions yet, other than informally to let him know we’re interested,” DeWitt said. “We’ve got time, with two years and spring training a bit away.”

Holliday, who held up his new No. 7 jersey (he wore No. 15 with the Cardinals last season), said he hadn’t had much contact with Pujols aside from exchanging text messages of encouragement. Holliday is looking forward to working with batting instructor Mark McGwire and manager Tony La Russa. Holliday and McGwire hit together last offseason when both were living in California and said the two were “good friends.” “I’m excited to see how he does as a hitting coach,” Holliday said. “I think he’ll do great. He’s a very good communicator and I think people are very interested to see what he has to say.” McGwire, hired in October to be the Cardinals hitting coach, still hasn’t held his introductory news conference. Holliday also has no worries that the 65-year-old La Russa, who signed a oneyear extension in October, is close to retirement.

Stocks show modest gains NEW YORK (AP) – Investors’ cautious optimism about the job market gave stocks a modest lift Thursday, one day before the government’s report on December employment. Stocks closed mostly higher after many retailers issued upbeat holiday sales figures and the Labor Department reported a leveling of the number of newly laid-off workers applying for unemployment benefits. Stuart Schweitzer, global markets strategist at J.P. Morgan’s Private Bank in New York, said markets are in a holding pattern as traders look to Friday’s jobs report from the Labor Department. Analysts are expecting job losses will shrink from the 11,000 lost in November. “Everyone is waiting for the fireworks,” Schweitzer said. The Dow Jones industrial average rose

33.18, or 0.3 percent, to 10,606.86. The broader Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 4.55, or 0.4 percent, to 1,141.69. It was the highest close for both indexes since Oct. 1, 2008. The Nasdaq composite index slipped 1.04, or 0.1 percent, to 2,300.05. Three stocks rose for every two that fell on the New York Stock Exchange, where volume came to 1.2 billion shares, compared with 1.1 billion Wednesday. Bond prices mostly slipped, pushing yields higher. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note was flat at 3.83 percent from late Wednesday. The dollar rose, and gold fell. A gain in the dollar weighs on commodity prices by making them more expensive for overseas buyers. That hurts energy and materials companies. Crude oil fell 52 cents to $82.66 per barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

Report signals job gains WASHINGTON (AP) – A government report Thursday on claims for unemployment aid signaled that layoffs are easing and that the U.S. economy could be on the verge of posting the first monthly gain in jobs in two years. The number of people claiming unemployment benefits for the first time barely rose last week, after falling to its lowest level since July 2008 the previous week. And the four-week average of claims fell for the 18th straight week to 450,250. That figure has reached its lowest point since September 2008, when the financial crisis intensified

DILBERT

with the collapse of Lehman Brothers. The four-week average of first-time claims is nearing the roughly 425,000 that many economists say would be a sign the economy will start creating jobs. The Labor Department will issue a more comprehensive snapshot of the job market today, when it releases the monthly jobs report for December. Economists forecast that the unemployment rate will rise to 10.1 percent from 10 percent and that employers will have shed 8,000 jobs. Still, the steady drop in first-time unemployment

claims, and other signs of economic improvement, have led some analysts to predict slight job growth for December. If so, it would be the first net increase in jobs in two years. Separately, retailers reported modest sales gains for the holiday season, prompting some chains to raise their fourth-quarter profit outlooks. December sales rose 2.8 percent compared with a year ago, according to the International Council of Shopping Centers. For the overall holiday season, which combines November and December sales, the index was up 1.8 percent.

AIG told to hush on deals WASHINGTON (AP) – The Federal Reserve Bank of New York pressed American International Group Inc. to withhold details of controversial deals that funneled billions in bailout money to Goldman Sachs and other banks. E-mails show lawyers representing the New York Fed asked AIG to remove the information from a draft financial disclosure. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner was president of the New York Fed at the time. The deals were part of a massive rescue effort at the peak of the financial crisis. Lawmakers and others have accused Geithner’s Fed of overpaying banks, including Goldman and Deutsche Bank, to cancel deals with AIG.

Sears Holdings expects gains on Kmart HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill. (AP) – Sears Holdings Corp. expects its fourth-quarter adjusted profit to come in sharply above last year’s results thanks to stronger sales at its Kmart chain — a sign fortunes slowly may be improving for the long-struggling retailer. The news Thursday morning sent Sears shares to a more than 15-month high, passing $100 per share — something not seen since September 2008. Sears and Kmart, both led by financier Edward Lampert, have seen shoppers flee to larger rivals with more prestige and more products at better prices. But late last year, glimmers of resilience began to emerge when shoppers returned to Kmart stores as the recession wore on.

GM boss expects 2010 profit DETROIT (AP) – General Motors Co.’s chairman expects the automaker will be profitable this year and says hundreds of the 1,350 GM dealers who lost their franchises last year could see them restored. Chairman and interim CEO Ed Whitacre Jr. also said that new Chief Financial Officer Chris Liddell is a candidate to take the CEO post permanently. And Whitacre said he’s not confident about selling the Swedish Saab brand.

Oil falls below $83 on stronger dollar NEW YORK (AP) – Oil prices fell below $83 a barrel Thursday as the dollar strengthened and investors worried a 20 percent rally in the last few weeks isn’t justified amid sluggish U.S. crude demand. By late morning, benchmark crude for February delivery fell 50 cents to $82.68 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange as the dollar rebounded.

WASHINGTON – Hundreds of communities far from congested highways and belching smokestacks could soon join big cities and industrial corridors in violation of stricter limits on lungdamaging smog proposed Thursday by the Obama administration. Costs of compliance could be in the tens of billions of dollars, but the government said the rules would save other billions – as well as lives – in the long run.

SPRINGFIELD, Ohio – The Ohio Highway Patrol says a tractor-trailer jackknifed, swerved into oncoming highway traffic and collided with a small bus transporting disabled passengers, killing four adults in the bus. The accident occurred Thursday afternoon on a snow-covered Interstate 70 near Springfield in southwest Ohio.

Obama: ‘Buck’ stops with him on terror WASHINGTON (AP) – President Barack Obama declared Thursday “the buck stops with me” for the nation’s security and suggested he would not fire anyone for the Christmas attack on a Detroit-bound airliner. Security lapses that led to the near-disaster were not the fault of a single individual or agency, he said, vowing they would be corrected. Obama didn’t tell intelligence officials to change what they’re doing. Instead, he told them to just do it better, and faster. He left it to them to figure out how. He said anew that the government had the information that might have prevented the botched attack but failed to piece

it together. He announced about a dozen changes designed to fix that, including new terror watch list guidelines, wider and quicker distribution of intelligence reports, stronger analysis of those reports, international partnerships and an interagency effort to develop next-generation airport screening technologies. While Obama promised improved security, his solutions were laced with bureaucratic reshuffling. Americans might be surprised that the government was not already taking some of the steps Obama ordered. For instance, he directed the intelligence community to begin assigning direct

responsibility for following up leads on high-priority threats. Obama himself hinted at the difficulties of improving intelligence and security against a terrorist network that devises new methods as fast or faster than the U.S. can come up with defenses. “There is, of course, no foolproof solution,” he said. “We have to stay one step ahead of a nimble adversary.” He spoke from the State Dining Room at the White House, his remarks delayed twice as officials scrambled to declassify a sixpage summary of a report he’d ordered from top officials on the security failures. That summary was released immediately after he spoke.

Suspect in St. Louis plant shooting believed dead ST. LOUIS (AP) – A disgruntled worker embroiled in a pension dispute with his company showed up at the plant and opened fire Thursday, killing three people and wounding five before apparently killing himself.

The shooting spree at ABB Group’s plant sent frightened co-workers scrambling into closets and to the snow-covered roof for safety. Fire officials identified the shooter as 51-yearold Timothy Hendron

of Webster Groves, a St. Louis suburb. Police said a man believed to be the gunman was found dead inside the plant from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, but they would not release his name.

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) – Call it the airport embrace felt around the world. A man took advantage of a guard’s absence to sneak past a Newark Liberty International Airport security checkpoint Sunday evening and walk arm-in-arm with a woman into a secure area, causing a terminal shutdown that delayed flights across the globe and called into question just how secure the nation’s airports really are. The couple’s actions emerged in a surveillance video released Thursday by the office of Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J., who had pushed the Transportation Security Administration to release the footage. In the video, the man stations himself near an exit lane, where departing passengers pass a security guard to leave the terminal. The security officer appears to walk over and tell the man to step outside a rope barrier. A minute or so later, after the guard leaves his podium for several seconds, the woman approaches the exit from inside the terminal and motions to the man, who ducks under the rope to join her.
