Archdale approves Stickley grant BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

ARCHDALE – The Archdale City Council on Tuesday night approved an economic incentive grant for Stickley Fine Upholstery. At its regular meeting, the City Council agreed to award Stickley a $5,625 grant for the furniture company to upgrade climate control systems at its Eden Terrace facility. The Randolph County Board of Commissioners will make a decision on awarding the same amount of funds to Stickley during its Dec. 7 meeting, said Bonnie Renfro, president of the Randolph County Economic Development Corp. In May, the City Council voted to participate with Randolph County in extending an economic grant of $11,250 to Stickley. At that time, Randolph County commissioners and the City Council decided to fund 50 percent each, or $5,625, of the grant for the furniture company to get natural gas service. But the company recently found out that Piedmont Natural Gas would provide service to the facility at no cost. That caused Stickley, which has a showroom in High Point, to request that the economic incentive grant be redirected so it could make the upgrade of the climate control systems to the Eden Terrace facility. Along with the Archdale City Council, Randolph County commissioners will be required to reconsider the grant because funds are going to be used for a purpose different than what was approved by both governing bodies earlier this year. Stickley plans to invest $880,000 and add 20 jobs at the rate of $14-15 per hour over two years. The Stickley expansion also will boost Archdale’s revenue by $1,236 annually and the county’s by $2,366 a year. Stickley has had a presence in Archdale since it purchased the former Unifi Inc. textile facility at 116 Petty St. 10 years ago. The incentive agreement, which stipulates that Stickley remain in Archdale for a period of two years following the payment, requires the company to add 20 jobs and retain its current 165 employees.

HIGH POINT – Work crews have made steady progress on a major road project in the Triad – a new leg of U.S. 311 from High Point into northern Randolph County. The hope is that the same opportunities apply to another important venture – replacing the Interstate 85 bridge over the Yadkin River at the Davidson-Rowan County line.

cover nearly 8 miles from Spencer Road to U.S. 220. Construction of the final section should be completed by the fall of 2012. The new link of U.S. 311 from I-85 Business Loop to U.S. 220 is estimated to cost $104 million, according to DOT figures. Meanwhile, transportation officials hope they will receive a green light soon from the administration of President Barack Obama on the $300 million replacement of the Yadkin River bridge. The White House is expected to announce in January what mammoth federal stimulus road projects will be ap-

proved from applications by the 50 states. Gov. Beverly Perdue’s administration has made the I-85 bridge replacement the only project sought for funding from this part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The DOT has contacted firms that might bid on the bridge replacement so the state can proceed quickly if the Obama administration approves the project, said Pat Ivey, DOT division engineer based in Winston-Salem. Ivey’s division includes Davidson County.

Connecticut lawyer Ross Garber, brought in to represent South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford, waits for a legislative panel to discuss the impeachment of Sanford in Columbia, S.C., Tuesday.

S.C. lawmakers question impeachment of governor COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) – A cool-headed legal debate has replaced the once-passionate calls to oust Gov. Mark Sanford that began after his tearful summertime admission that he disappeared from the state to pursue an extramarital affair in Argentina. A panel on Tuesday began debating whether his failure to inform his staff of his whereabouts and put anyone in charge rise to the high standard

of impeachment, usually reserved for officeholders who break the law. Two proponents of a measure to remove Sanford likened his five-day absence to a soldier leaving his post. But others on a seven-member legislative panel questioned whether the two-term Republican’s actions rose to a high enough level to warrant removal. “To speak about dereliction of duty, absence without leave, abandon-

Dad defends letting mom take child later slain FAYETTEVILLE (AP) – The father of a North Carolina girl who was kidnapped and killed said Tuesday he made the best decision he could at the time when he let her live with her mother, who has since been charged with prostituting the child. Bradley Lockhart said during an interview on NBC’s “Today” show that he regrets how the decision

turned out, but thought he was making the right choice for the daughter he had raised himself. “We obviously make decisions in life that sometimes have repercussions or adverse situations that drift from our decision. We just have to continue to believe in God and hope that our decisions are the correct ones,” he said. Lockhart said he last saw Shaniya

in early October as he left for an out-of-state work assignment. The girl moved in with Antoinette Davis, 25, about a week later after initially staying with Lockhart’s sister, he said. The father said he spoke to Davis after she reported the girl missing Nov. 10. Police said she was killed the same day. Lockhart said he hasn’t spoken to Davis since she was charged last

Afghan official: 15 ministers face probe KABUL – Three Afghan Cabinet officials and 12 former ministers are under investigation for alleged corruption, the attorney general’s office said Tuesday, announcing cases that could signal whether the government is serious about fighting graft in its ranks. President Hamid Karzai pledged in his second inaugural address last week to support the arrests of anyone involved in corruption. International leaders say they will hold him to that promise.

China executes 2 men in tainted milk scandal BEIJING – China executed a dairy farmer and a milk salesman Tuesday for their roles in the sale of contaminated baby formula – severe punishments that Beijing hopes will put to rest one of the country’s worst food safety crises. The men were the only people put to death in a scheme to boost profits by lacing milk powder with the industrial chemical melamine. At least six children died after drinking the adulterated formula, and more than 300,000 were sickened.

Mullen meets officials on arms control GENEVA – President Barack Obama’s top military adviser attended the latest talks with Russia to replace an expiring Cold War-era arms control deal, the U.S. said Tuesday. Adm. Mike Mullen, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, met with Russian officials from Sunday to Tuesday, U.S. spokesman Michael Parmly said. Obama and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev want to conclude a new treaty by Dec. 5, when the 1991 START I accord cutting U.S. and Russian nuclear arsenals expires.

Iraq vote faces delay BAGHDAD (AP) – A senior official said Tuesday Iraq must delay a national vote scheduled for January because of a political dispute, and the vice president who triggered the crisis indicated he would veto a key election law for a second time. The prospect of delayed balloting in Iraq and a growing sense among Sunni Arabs that they are being shunted to the political margins has soured hopes for genuine reconciliation in a country torn by war. The acrimony and suspicion centers on Iraq’s ethnic and sectarian divisions, sharpened by past bloodshed.

Diplomats: Big powers prepare Iran resolution VIENNA (AP) – Six world powers have readied a resolution critical of Iran’s nuclear program, diplomats said Tuesday, as Tehran suggested it was still ready to discuss a U.N.-backed plan

Under the plan, Iran would export its uranium for enrichment. meant to delay the Islamic Republic’s ability to make a nuclear weapon. Under the plan, Iran would export its uranium for enrichment in Russia and France, where it would be converted into fuel rods to be returned to Iran about a year later. The plan was embraced by the six powers because it would have committed Tehran to ship out about 70 percent of its enriched

uranium stockpile, which can be used both to make nuclear fuel or enriched further to fissile warhead material. Tehran initially appeared to agree, only to backtrack in recent weeks, with most officials saying the country was not ready to export most of its enriched uranium in one large batch and then wait up to a year for its return in the form of fuel rods. Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast told reporters Tuesday that no one in Iran had “ever said ... that we are opposed to shipping out our uranium,� adding: “What has been discussed is the method to ship out this material.� He did not indicate if he was suggesting that Iran was seeking to ship out small batches, then wait until they were turned into fuel rods before exporting the next small batch.

U.K. official: Barack Obama’s delay hurts our Afghan case LONDON (AP) – British defense secretary Bob Ainsworth says the United States’ delay in deciding how many reinforcements to send to Afghanistan has harmed his country’s ability to rally public support for the war. Ainsworth told the House of Commons defense committee Tuesday that the “period of hiatus� President Barack Obama had taken on Afghanistan

was one of the things that “have mitigated against our ability to show Obama progress� there. Public skepticism in Britain has hardened as increasing numbers of troops have been killed. Some 235 U.K. troops have died in Afghanistan since 2001.

President Barack Obama (second from right) and first lady Michelle Obama (second from left) stand with Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh (center) and his wife Gursharan Kaur (left) at the White House Tuesday.

Obama hails U.S. ties with India WASHINGTON (AP) – Seeking firmer footing for U.S.-India relations, President Barack Obama tried Tuesday to calm India’s fears about Asian rival China, salving bruised feelings in the world’s largest democracy with an elaborate state visit and assurances of India’s “rightful place as a global leader.� “The relationship between the United States and India will be one of the defining partnerships of the 21st century,� Obama declared – twice – during a news conference with Indian

Shuttle, station crews seal hatches for departure CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) – After nearly a week together, the crews of shuttle Atlantis and the International Space Station said goodbye Tuesday and closed the hatches between them. Atlantis will undock from the space station before dawn today. Astronaut Nicole Stott, leaving the station after three months, called for a “group hug� with her five former roommates. Then she embraced each one separately and, folding up her arms and legs, was pushed all the way into the shuttle like a big package. “Gentle,� she urged, floating through the hatch. The men – six on the shuttle and five on the station – parted company with handshakes. “Good luck� and “nice trip to the ground, guys� filled the airwaves.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. The two appeared before reporters in the East Room after an elaborate morning welcome ceremony that was moved indoors by rain and about two hours of private talks in the Oval Office. The daylong White House extravaganza in India’s honor was to be capped with the day’s most buzz-worthy event: the first state dinner of Obama’s presidency. The black-tie party for more than 300, featuring a mostly vegetarian meal of curry prawns, aged basmati rice, eggplant salad,

lentil soup, potato dumplings and other delicacies served under a giant tent on the South Lawn, was Washington’s premier must-have invite. Menu, decor and attendance details – each designed to celebrate Indian culture and delight Indian guests – were kept tightly held until just hours before guests arrived in their finery. The Obamas sought to add their own flair to the evening, as they have with all their entertaining since they took over the White House in January. Marcus Samuelsson

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) – Academics have long theorized that expressions of thanks promote health and happiness, and now the study of gratitude is becoming a blossoming research field. The research indicates that being thankful might help people feel better mentally and physically. But there’s a catch – researchers say you have to give thanks more than just once a year. Some studies have tried

to actually measure the benefits of gratitude. A National Science Foundation-funded study concluded those who felt grateful for help were more likely to return the favor. Northeastern University psychologist David DeSteno says gratitude leads people to act in more selfless ways. His research was published earlier this year in the journal Current Directions in Psychological Science.

THANKSGIVING: The nation pauses to reflect on its blessings. TOMORROW

Give Hege another chance as Davidson sheriff I have been reading your stories on former Sheriff Gerald Hege. Thank you for letting people write the paper about him. As for me, I am 100 percent for him. I hope all the people forget the wrong he did and think about all the good he did. He did a lot more good. And the one thing he did do that most people in office don’t do was he did not lie about what he did. He did face up to his wrong like a man. So I hope all the people will give him another chance to prove he is a better man now than ever, and he will keep us all safe. Hege is not the kind of man to sit in an office and let his men do the work. He is a man who goes out and helps his men. And Hege does not need a gun. I bet he never used his gun anyway. He has men there with guns to use if they need to. I hope he gets back in and I hope he has a 101 team all dressed in black. Go Hege go. We are all there for you. CAROLYN MAHAFFEY Thomasville

We’ve been paying Hege since he left office In a recent story, there was a quote from Gerald Hege in an article in which Hege used the wrong word for what took place when he was convicted several years ago. The word was “resign.” He did not resign, he was allowed to retire. And we’ve been paying him ever since. You had an article about him a few weeks ago in which y’all used that same word twice. Then WFDD (NPR station) quoted your article. I’d like to see this correct-

Fundamentally, this was achieved by one single man while millions passively and silently watched and went on with their own everyday lives.

Treatment plant idea makes sense

T

he cities of Archdale and Trinity already have anted up. Now, they’re waiting on the Randolph County Board of Commissioners to sweeten the deal so a long-wanted engineering study for building a wastewater treatment plant to serve the two cities can get under way. Randolph commissioners are mulling the prospect of the county paying $25,000 to match equal portions allocated by each of the two cities to fund the study. It would seem to be an easy decision for Randolph County commissioners, and the verdict is expected sometime during the next couple of months. The idea of building a wastewater treatment plant in northwestern Randolph County has been around for years. The suggestion actually predates the incorporation of Trinity and its current sewer system installation project. The idea made sense when it was being considered as a move by the city of Archdale nearly 20 years ago. And now with Trinity’s developing sewer system, not building a joint wastewater treatment plant would be a huge mistake. Currently, Trinity pays Thomasville and Archdale pays High Point to take wastewater their customers generate. It’s reasonable to expect that officials in Archdale and Trinity would want to eliminate those payments and to control their own destinies by investing in their own wastewater treatment plant. It’s also reasonable to expect that the Randolph County Board of Commissioners would help with the proposal to give the cities autonomy, but even more so because the county stands to realize great economic benefit as a whole as northwest Randolph continues to grow. Construction of a treatment plant for Trinity and Archdale would allow commercial, residential and industrial growth along their Interstate 85 and Interstate 74 corridors that would be limited only by how big their sewer systems and sewage treatment plant would be. The only holdup right now is with county commissioners.

Pass the civility when talking politics over turkey

I

t’s bound to happen at Thanksgiving tables across America: A progressive liberal Democrat discovers he’s sitting next to a conservative Republican. There’s no need for mashed potatoes to fly. Harry Stein, an author, columnist and contributing editor to the political magazine City Journal, offers advice on how to navigate the situation. Stein, an erstwhile 1960s radical who evolved into a conservative, faced a similar dilemma at a dinner party a few years ago. When the guest next to him discovered his conservative/libertarian thinking, the fellow said loudly, “I can’t believe I’m sitting next to a Republican!” “It was,” says Stein, “as if I was wearing not only a white hood, but a Nazi armband.” So accustomed had Stein become to such broadsides – common experiences for conservatives living in progressive bastions – he wrote a humorous book on the subject: “I Can’t Believe I’m Sitting Next to a Republican: A Survival Guide for Conservatives Marooned Among the Angry, Smug, and Terminally Self-Righteous.” So what to do when bipolar political philosophies are seated next to each other at the Thanksgiving table? Make a concerted effort to get beyond “straw man” stereotypes. “In theory, liberalism is predicated on openness to varied perspectives, but talk to lots of liberals and what you’ll hear is that all conservatives are greedy, hardhearted knuckle draggers,” says Stein. “To them, ‘conservative’ is another way of saying ‘warmongering,’ ‘racist,’ ‘homophobic,’ not to mention ‘aching to wipe out every last polar bear for the sake of Big Oil.’ ” Who wouldn’t loathe a fellow with beliefs like that? The truth is conservatives, just as liberals, come in all shapes and sizes; many are as nuanced, complex and thoughtful as anybody else. The truth is progressives and conservatives agree with each other more than they are aware.

“Discovering the common ground can only occur when discussions proceed in a logical and factual manner,” says Stein. “If you want to argue a point and demonstrate the truthfulness of your position, OPINION be sure to have your facts straight.” Tom Stein gave one example Purcell pertaining to the health ■■■ care debate. “Some progressives believe that conservatives are simply dupes of the insurance industry stampeded by phony propaganda, and, yes, that we are racists,” he says. “The fact is, it’s a lot easier to name-call than deal with our arguments, starting with the likelihood that not only will a government takeover of health care have devastating effects on the economy, but it will not be good for health care.” Another example: Some progressives believe that conservatives could not care less about the poor. “What we believe is that conservative polices, such as tax incentives to hire, are a great deal more beneficial to the poor than the polices that came out of the Great Society,” says Stein. “Such policies encouraged women to raise children without fathers. Today, in some communities, 70 percent of children are born to single mothers.” Stein used to think it best to avoid such discussions at the Thanksgiving table, but his position has changed over the years. “We are facing a lot of challenges in our country and we really need to discuss them in a civil and thoughtful manner.” Still, if you’re a conservative and fearful of being discovered, Stein says, you may want to plan ahead. “You might want to sit beside a large liberal behind whom you can duck in case the mashed potatoes fly.” TOM PURCELL is a humor columnist nationally syndicated by Cagle Cartoons newspaper syndicate.

Expressing hatred in the name of America isn’t patriotic

Pitts plays an ebony and ivory skin and hair game

I

have to say, for all his Pulitzer brilliance, Leonard Pitts’ cultural counsel on the topic of black pride seems clearly – and quite curiously – sexist. Earlier this month, he wrote a beautiful panegyric on – and full of empathetic love for – African-American women and their lavish and laborious efforts to alter (through hair straightening chemistry, wigs, haircuts, colors, braids and weaves) their hair. He totally and soulfully consoles and forgives them for their many efforts to change the natural essence and appearance of their hair, arguably the most prominent feature of feminine appearance and aesthetic couture. Last week, he absolutely and inexplicably slams – I mean vilifies and denounces – Sammy Sosa (former star slugger for Chicago Cubs) for whitening his skin. Is Pitts in this dichotomy of dissing demonstrating a preference for hair over skin or simply exhibiting a weird brand of sexism in racial ranting? Or is it – less simply – a matter of Pitts succeeding in one instance (bestowing loving tolerance on black women and their efforts to meld esthetically in the American milieu with hair) and miserably failing in another (not forgiving Michael and Sammy for wanting to accomplish the same thing with skin tone)? You decide. Here are excerpts

GUEST COLUMN

from both articles: On second thought, I’ll excerpt what I wrote (on Nov. 2) Leonard Pitts in praise of his loving article on African-American women’s hair: “Leonard, Yesterday I was paying my bill to a restaurant cashier and, standing in line behind two black ladies, began to marvel at the complex and beautiful hairdo’s they bore. I complemented them when I caught one of their eyes and she touched my shoulder in appreciation for the affirmation I gave. Your article today gave me pause to think about the whole transaction – what I had seen and what it meant. It was ‌ poetry. Your panegyric to the primordial and perennial beauty of black women – in spite of their seemingly self-demeaning rush to cosmetically enhance what was innately beautiful – was so touching I read every word of it to a friend (we’re both white, BTW). Here’s the highest praise one writer can give another: Beginning with “I am your brother, your father‌â€? and ending with “You already are. You always were (beautiful),â€? I had to stop – altogether four times – to contend with the lump in my throat. That’s the thing (the lump) I consider evidence of things “sacred. Poetry, my esteemed friend; pure

love-borne poetry.� Compare that now to Pitts’ more recent slamming of Cub slugger, Sammy Sosa: “I’ll bet you see a face (in the mirror) you’ve always dreamt of seeing – white and smiling at you. And I’ll bet you’re not embarrassed in the least. But that’s alright, Sammy. I’m embarrassed for you.� Well, Mr. Pitts, I’m just a little embarrassed for you, although I’m still a great fan. DUSTY SCHOCH lives in High Point.

here’s a famous Web comic strip about Internet commentary. A man sits at his computer, as, off-screen, his significant other asks, “Are you coming to bed?â€? “I can’t,â€? he replies. “Someone is wrong on the Internet.â€? In general, that’s how I feel about comment wars. Someone, somewhere, will always be wrong on the Internet, and to find and correct them all is the Web equivalent of draining the ocean with an eyedropper. In this case, however, I’m making an exception. Robert Healy’s Nov. 14 column, headlined “We need rational discussion on Islam and hate,â€? engendered anything but. I don’t write in support of Healy’s column. To begin an argument with an accusation prohibits any chance of truly rational discussion. I write because I was shocked, in a deep, unsettling way, at the sheer amount of hate in the responses to the column. Hate for a religious group based on the extremists of that religious group, carried out without regard for the Islamic community in our own city. The community is pretty large. Although I could find no statistics on the exact number of Muslim residents in High Point, my best friend, who is Muslim, estimates it to be in the hundreds. “When [residents from the Triad area] all get together for major holidays, the people count gets into the thousands,â€? she said. “Last week [my family] had a party with just High Pointers, and there were about 100 people at my house. And those are just our bestest chums.â€? “There’s also a Middle Eastern Muslim community of equal or greater size,â€? she continued. “I have a ton of Palestinian/Jordanian/ Egyptian/Iraqi friends. ‌ The numbers are increasing fast because a lot of Iraqi/Afghani refugees have been dumped here.â€? The responses to Healy’s column, by and large, seemed to ignore the presence of ordinary Muslim American citizens who do good work in a country many have been born in.

Organizers ready for annual Thanksgiving outreach BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITERS

HIGH POINT – Those without the means for a Thanksgiving meal will have a place to go thanks to a holiday tradition in High Point. Organizers of the outreach effort expect 3,800 to 4,000 meals to be served Thursday. Some of the free meals are served at Carter Brothers Barbecue and Ribs, while volunteers also make deliveries to local shut-ins, homeless and others in need in the greater High Point area. “It’s open to everybody – just come in, sit down and be served, no questions asked,” said pastor Steve Ervin of His Laboring Few Ministries, the primary organizer of the effort. “We’ve got a lot of things prepared already. We’ve got over 400 turkeys so far. (Tonight), we’ll start fixing all the dressing, beans and everything that goes with it and start preparing the plates to go. “It looks like everything is coming together well.” Ervin, who is joined in the ef-

‘It’s open to everybody – just come in, sit down and be served, no questions asked.’ Steve Erwin His Laboring Few fort by local Realtor Ed Price, Carter Brothers and hundreds of other volunteers, said demand is expected to be high not only for the Thanksgiving meal but for the free meal that is also provided on Christmas. A total of about 9,000 meals are expected to be prepared and served for both days at a cost of around $35,000. “As soon as Thanksgiving is over, we start planning for Christmas and looking at what’s needed,” Ervin said. “Sometimes, we have some supplies that are left over from Thanksgiving that we can use, but usually, we have to start with the same needs as Thanksgiving – everything from turkeys and things for the rest of the meal to monetary help. The need starts over.” Organizers expect 300 to 400 volunteers to help with the meals. There are typically fewer volunteers who participate on Christmas, so Ervin said there may be a need for assistance on that day. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

Third-graders Steven Moore and Kelli Tucker pool the pennies collected by Archdale Elementary School students for the “Pennies for Peace” program.

Deborah Linville, associate professor of education at High Point University, recently gave a presentation, titled “Literate Lives of Children: Topics and Trends in Elementary Education,” at the 2009 National Council of Teachers of English annual convention. The convention aims to improve the teaching of English at all levels of education.

Campaign puts kids on charitable path BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

ARCHDALE – Teaching her students the meaning of helping others, Lynn Smith found a way to get almost every child involved in Archdale Elementary’s second annual “Pennies for Peace” campaign. Pennies for Peace, a program founded by New York Times bestselling author Greg Mortenson, allows for schools to collect pennies to build schools in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Last year, Archdale Elementary – the only school in Randolph County participating – collected $1,000, said Smith, the school’s principal. “The big thing about this program is that ... every kid can find a penny, so everybody can be included,” Smith said. “I’m not asking for dollars or anything like that. We are just asking for pennies.” “It really teaches kids a sense of giving and thinking outside of

themselves, which for kids is hard to do,” he said. With the help of a local church, Smith had the goal of collecting $1,200 n pennies for this year’s campaign, which began Oct. 1 and ended Tuesday. The collection hasn’t been totaled, but Smith predicted that the school did not surpass last year’s total. Aside from teaching students how to be philanthropists, Smith also said the Pennies for Peace campaign has special meaning because the school has about 20 Pakistani students. This year, Smith took time to read “Listen to the Wind: The Story of Dr. Greg & Three Cups of Tea,” by Greg Mortenson and Susan L. Roth to every classroom. The book describes the conditions that children in Pakistan endure to attend school. “It hits us so much because we have kids from Pakistan here, and it helped me draw them into the school ... It was real to them. They were able to explain what life was

like in Pakistan when they lived over there,” Smith said. Dean Daniel, an Archdale Elementary English as a second language teacher, brought the Pennies for Peace idea to Smith a couple years ago after reading Mortenson’s “Three Cups of Tea,” which recounted the first Pennies for Peace campaign in River Fall, Wis., in 1994. The students there raised 62,340 pennies to help Mortenson build his first school in Pakistan, according to Pennies for Peace’s Web site. “I just think it’s a great opportunity for every child to be able to help because it’s only a penny, and every child can get their hands on a penny,” Daniel said. “This year, (Smith) hiding pennies and dropping pennies around the school, it made it easier for them to get their hands on a penny. Then every child feels like they are contributing something.”

Luncheon leaves audience wowed HIGH POINT – The program began with laughter induced by the antics of Sean Emery, settled into some serious patriotic music by Liberty Voices and ended with a serious sermon by Chad Hymas about values, sprinkled with enough biting humor to keep the audience laughing throughout. It was the 20th annual Thanksgiving Luncheon, hosted by Rotary Club of High Point and sponsored by the Qubein Foundation, which has awarded more than $3 million to more than 600 students and to scholarship endowments at several universities. Members of a half-dozen other Rotary clubs were in the audience that began lining up at High Point Country Club behind Margaret and Everett Padgett, who were the first to arrive at 9:57 a.m. Hymas, speaking for 30 minutes and using three audience members to help send home his most important points, not only grabbed the attention of the crowd but held it throughout with a grip similar to that of a pit bull’s jaws. At the beginning, he told the 600 in the audience that he wanted them to leave the club changed from the way they entered. The general themes were: “Think about what you have left,

been relegated to the “special ed” table in the high school cafeteria before Hymas’ sadly disappointed father heard Chad and his friends making fun of Melanie one day – and taking action the next day to rectify the situation. Liberty Voices, an eight-part a cappella group from Orlando, Fla., wowed the crowd with their medley of patriotic numbers and Emery’s verbal interaction with the audience drew often uproarious laughter as he jumped roped on a unicycle, juggled as many as nine blocks at a time, pulled off hat tricks (that had nothing to do with hockey) and seemed to put everyone in just the right mood for what was to follow.

The city of Thomasville’s Solid Waste Department will be closed Thursday and Friday in observance of Thanksgiving. Wednesday’s and Thursday’s garbage routes will be picked up on Wednesday. Friday routes will be picked up on Monday, Nov. 30. Next week, Monday’s routes will move to Tuesday. Tuesday’s routes will move to Wednesday. Wednesday and Thursday routes will be picked up on Thursday. Friday will resume the normal schedule. If items are not collected on the listed day, leave the garbage at the curb for nextday collection.

RALEIGH (AP) – State lawmakers and attorneys are scrutinizing Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina for its attempt to influence the national health care debate through direct mail and possibly illegal automated phone calls. The state Attorney General’s office confirmed Tuesday it was investigating North Carolina’s largest health insurer for prerecorded calls that started late last month. Based on a preliminary review, some calls linked to the company appear to have violated the law, according to a letter from a state attorney. Company spokesman Lew Borman said Blue Cross officials provided information as part of the inquiry and are in

discussions with Attorney General Roy Cooper’s office. The disclosure came as 20 state lawmakers asked Cooper and Insurance Commissioner Wayne Goodwin to examine the calls and mailers urging citizens to contact U.S. Sen. Kay Hagan and ask her to oppose a new governmentrun health insurance plan. Blue Cross, with 3.7 million customers in North Carolina, is a unique not-for-profit private corporation that pays taxes but benefited from a tax-preferred status for decades until the 1980s. It’s not clear when the investigation will be complete, but the company could face fines if Cooper deems the calls illegal.

4 NBC affiliates ban PETA’s Thanksgiving Day ad RALEIGH (AP) – Four NBC affiliates broadcasting the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade are banning a commercial promoting veganism sponsored by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. PETA spokesman Michael Lyubinsky said Tuesday the organization wanted to air the commercial during the parade but stations in Raleigh, Columbia, S.C., Savannah, Ga., and Little Rock, Ark., had

banned it. The commercial depicts a young girl saying grace at Thanksgiving, giving thanks for “the turkey farms where they pack them into dark, tiny little sheds for their whole lives.� The ad encourages viewers to “Go vegan.� Brad Moses, general manager of Raleigh’s WNCN, said he decided to ban the ad in Raleigh and Savannah because it’s not appropriate for the spirit of the parade.

Back pain treatments do exist without medicines or surgery

D

ear Dr. Donohue: I have heard of many people with severe back pain, and the diagnosis has been that the padding between the vertebrae is worn thin. Are there any steps one can take to prevent this wearing down? I am 76 and have been diagnosed with spinal stenosis. I can sit and walk, but standing around is a problem. Does this usually get worse? Are there things I can do to stop its progress? – E.M.

BLONDIE

The padding between vertebrae (backbones) is the intervertebral disks, tough wedges of cartilage that act as shock absorbers, cushioning the vertebrae from all the stress and strains that backs endure. There’s not much to do about preventing the age-related shrinkage that these disks suffer, but you can minimize disk damage in a number of ways. Don’t bend your back to lift objects; bend your knees. An old treatment for back pain is seeing a resurgence of interest. It’s the Alexander technique. Mr. Alexander observed that, as people go through life, they develop bad posture. He reasoned that correcting these postural defects would relieve back stress and back pain. It sounds reasonable to me. I can’t produce all the points here, but I can refer you to an Internet site for information. It is www.alexandertech.org. I know many do not have a computer, but every-

one knows someone who has one. Or local libraries usually have computers, and HEALTH the staff can get Dr. Paul you to the Donohue proper Web ■■■ site. Hot packs or cold packs relax back muscles and lessen back pain. Which is better? That’s something you have to find out through trial. Massage is another way to get kinks out of sore back muscles. Sleeping on either the right or left side with a pillow between the knees is a good way to rest the back. Exercises like walking, yoga and swimming keep back muscles strong and limber, and they go a long way in alleviating back pain. Spinal stenosis, a common back problem, doesn’t inevitably get worse. The booklet on back pain gives you the common causes of it and their standard treatments. Readers can order a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue – No. 303, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Can. with the recipient’s printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery. Dear Dr. Donohue: A recent column of yours has me confused. Will you please explain what happens when you take more than 500 mg of cal-

cium at one time? You state that more than 500 mg overwhelms the body’s absorption capability. Does that mean you get no benefit from the calcium, or do you get no benefit from the amount over 500 mg? My calcium tablet has 600 mg. I have milk with my breakfast cereal, and my wife has calcium-fortified orange juice. Are we getting too much calcium? – C.J. The body absorbs only 500 mg of calcium at one time. If a calcium tablet has more than 500 mg, the amount over the 500 mg limit is excreted. Don’t work yourself into a dither about this. Body functions don’t have the precision you might think. When your body reaches around the 500 mg total of calcium at one time, absorption slows until the load on the intestine falls. Then another 500 mg can be handled. The extra isn’t going to hurt you. You can go on having milk and fortified orange juice. Like I say, the body is not so finely tuned as I made it out to be. Yours might be absorbing every last fraction of the calcium. If it isn’t, no harm is done.

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.

Duke seniors target one more victory BY BRYAN STRICKLAND ENTERPRISE DURHAM BUREAU

DURHAM – When Duke coach David Cutcliffe accepted the job nearly two years ago, he inherited a team full of players who were recruited by the previous coaching staff. Yet as a small but significant class of nine seniors prepares to play its final game, there’s little doubt that the players that Cutcliffe adopted upon his arrival are family now. “I feel like they’re our own. Two years with them, and I absolutely feel like they’re our own,” Cutcliffe said. The nine seniors, all key contributors for multiple seasons, will wrap up their college careers Saturday when Wake Forest visits Wallace Wade Stadium (noon, WXLV, Ch. 45). After Duke’s loss at Miami on Saturday, which eliminated the Blue Devils (5-6, 3-4 ACC) from contention for a bowl game, Cutcliffe bemoaned that the seniors wouldn’t get a chance to experience postseason play. Before Cutcliffe’s arrival, the current seniors had won one game in two years, but they’ve won 10 over the past two years and have a chance to make it 11. The most recent time Duke won more than 11 games over the course of two seasons was 1989-90.

Marshall Williams (8) and his Wake Forest teammates grabbed a dramatic 33-30 overtime victory over Duke on Nov. 1, 2008 in Winston-Salem. Williams and the Demon Deacons head to Durham to battle the Blue Devils on Saturday at noon in the final ACC game for both teams this season.

Deacon seniors want big finish at Duke BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

WINSTON-SALEM – The freshmen that came in with a bang now face going out unceremoniously. The crew that helped Wake Forest win an ACC Championship and Orange Bowl berth as rookies will try to put a respectable finish on a disappointing season when the Demon Deacons battle Duke on Saturday in Durham. There’s no chance of an ACC title this time. No chance of a bowl game. No chance of a winning season. Instead, the Deacs can snap a five-game losing streak and finish 5-7 instead of 4-8. Whatever the outcome, it will be a long way from the 11-3 record in 2006 that stands as the high-water mark for coach Jim Grobe. “There’s no gimmicky stuff you can do to motivate the guys at this point,” Wake coach Jim Grobe said Tuesday at his weekly press conference. “Your love for the game is going to show. If you love to play and you know that these might be the last snaps that you ever play, I’d like

to think that would be a good motivator. I can’t guarantee it. “We certainly have some guys in the senior class that have a different energy level as far as love of the game. Skinner The thing you’ve got to hope for is even though we are not playing for a bowl game, the guys, especially our seniors, will play their very best just for their love of the game.” The 22 seniors can claim one spot in the Wake record book. A victory over the Blue Devils would give them 33 wins, the most of any class in Wake history. They would have the mark already if not for losing five games by three points or less. “We set the bar high as freshman winning the conference,” said Riley Skinner, who will leave with school records for passing attempts, completions, yards, touchdowns, completion percentage and efficiency. “This is not the way we wanted to end it. We could have had 8 or 9 wins. But, we didn’t make enough plays. We

want to end it on a good note.” Senior defensive lineman John Russell tries to focus on the class’s whole body of work instead of not being able to produce another winning season. “It’s been a special time for the senior class,” Russell said. “Time and time you get asked about the disappointments of this season. But this is one of the bittersweet moments. You look back and look at the good times and they overshadow the disappointment of this year. It will soften the blow if we can go over to Durham and beat a good Duke team.” Grobe said safety Josh Bush will miss Saturday’s game, putting redshirt sophomore John Stamper in the starting lineup. Grobe said that Busch has been hospitalized for a week to treat blood clots and an infection arising from suffering a vein bruise near his collarbone in the Georgia Tech game on Nov. 5. Grobe said Bush needed surgery to remove the infection and will require blood thinners and antibiotics for 4-6 weeks. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Blue Devils hit Big Apple for big tests BY BRYAN STRICKLAND ENTERPRISE DURHAM BUREAU

DURHAM – If you can make it there, you can make it anywhere. The Duke Blue Devils are off to New York, off to a 4-0 start but about to take on an entirely different level of competition as the NIT Season TipOff prepares to crown a champion.

Duke will face Arizona State tonight in the second semifinal at Madison Square Garden (about 9:30 p.m., ESPN2), and then the No. 7 Blue Devils will face either No. 13 Connecticut or LSU on Friday. The four teams still standing in the 16-team event have a combined record of 14-0. Duke, a three-time event cham-

pion, has won its past 10 games in the tournament and has won 10 of its most recent 11 games at Madison Square Garden. Former N.C. State coach Herb Sendek is in his fourth season in Tempe. The Sun Devils (4-0) went 822 his first season but are 50-23 since. “Herb is one of the best coaches in the country,” Krzyzewski said.

Y

ale head football coach Tom Williams must be a fan of “Thelma and Louise.” That’s the only way I can explain his gutsy, albeit foolhardy, gamble late in last weekend’s showdown against Harvard. “Thelma and Louise” ended with an unforgettable scene in which the lead characters put the pedal to the metal and drive off. Only it wasn’t into the sunset. It was over the edge of a canyon. Cue Williams. Yale led 10-7 with 2:25 to play. Facing fourth-and-22 at his own 26, Williams called for a fake punt. Harvard stopped

the reverse 10 yards shy and scored three plays later to secure an unlikely 14-10 win in “The Game.” The Crimson (7-3, 6-1 Ivy League) beat its arch-rival for the eighth time in nine games. Yale fell to 4-6, 2-5. “The whole idea was to keep our foot on the pedal, and not play scared,” said Williams, a first-year head coach who is a bearcat for nerve if nothing else. “If anyone is looking for somebody to blame, blame this guy right here.” I’m sure plenty of folks are blaming Wil-

liams for his decision, especially when you consider Yale’s Tom Mante tops the Ivy League in punting and averaged 51 yards per boot in the Harvard game. Give Williams credit for courage. He clearly has a flair for the dramatic. Had it worked, Williams might be hailed as a swashbuckling hero. It’s not often Harvard-Yale football grabs national attention these days. Of course, epic crashes tend to have that effect on folks. It’s hard not to watch.

Albert Pujols was unanimously voted National League MVP on Tuesday, becoming the first player to repeat since Barry Bonds won four in a row from 2001-04. Pujols received all 32 first-place votes and 448 points in balloting announced by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America. It was the third MVP award for the St. Louis star, who also won in 2005. He became the first unanimous MVP since Bonds in 2002. Pujols said he concentrates on World Series titles, not MVPs. He won his only crown in 2006. “I always make a joke. I got 10 fingers. I want to get nine more rings,” he said. “I want to get as many as Derek Jeter has so far (five). Obviously that’s hard to do.” Pujols led the majors in home runs (47), runs (124), slugging percentage (.658) and intentional walks (44), and topped the NL in on-base percentage (.443). He was second in the league in doubles (45) and third in batting average (.327) and RBIs (135).

Panther men set to meet Lebo’s Tigers BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

HIGH POINT – The similarities could be quite intriguing when High Point University men’s basketball team plays at Auburn tonight in the Beard-Eaves Memorial Coliseum. The teams are similar in size, utilizing three-guard starting lineups with a big post player and power forward. They depend on guards to be the leading scorers and have the same philosophy of play keying on quickness and the transition game. “We both try to do the same thing,” High Point coach Scott Cherry said. “They just do it in a little bit different manner.”

Cherry will be facing a fellow UNC alum on the sidelines tonight. Auburn is directed by Jeff Lebo, who graduated from Chapel Hill in the spring before Cherry arrived there Lebo as a freshman in the fall of 1989. “We see each other occasionally,” Cherry said. “I guess the last time we talked was at a camp (current UNC coach) Roy Williams had for some of the UNC guys coaching in the pros and in college. But, I haven’t talked to Jeff since the start of the season.” Lebo guided the Tigers last season to 24 wins, the second most in a season in school history. With three key seniors

on that team having exhausted their eligibility and one key returner out with a quad injury, Auburn has struggled to a 2-3 start and lost to N.C. State 60-58 in its most recent game on Sunday. The Tigers have beaten Niagara and IUPUI and also lost to Central Florida and Missouri State. DeWayne Reed, a 6-1 senior guard, is averaging 16.8 points per game to lead the Tigers. Frankie Sullivan, a 6-1 sophomore guard, averages 16.8 ppg and was the only double-figure scorer against State with 21 points. Lucas Hargrove, a senior 6-6 forward, is the other Tiger averaging in double figures. The key piece that has been out of the lineup is Tay Waller, a 6-2 senior guard

who averaged just over 12 ppg last season. The game against the Southeastern Conference member will be HPU’s second early season test against a school from a major conference and comes a week after a visit to ACC member Wake Forest. “It will be a challenge no matter how you look at it, going against a team from a major conference on a hostile floor,” Cherry said. “But from a size stand point, we match up much better than we did against Wake Forest. On paper, the matchups look good for us. But we’ve got to perform. We’ve got to put two good halves together to give us a chance to pull one out at the end.” gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3556

has shoulder surgery CHAPEL HILL (AP) – North Carolina coach Roy Williams is recovering after undergoing surgery on his left shoulder. Williams had surgery Tuesday to repair a torn labrum, an injury he sustained in early October when he slipped on a wet step at a golf course during a charity event. The surgery lasted 90

minutes and Williams returned home later in the day. Williams will wear a sling on his left arm for about four weeks and undergo several months of rehabilitation. He is expected to coach Sunday when he goes for his 600th career victory against Nevada. The 11th-ranked Tar Heels didn’t practice Tuesday.

Roush Racing names Wingo crew chief for Ragan MOTORSPORTS NOTEBOOK:

R

oush Fenway Racing announced Wednesday that Donnie Wingo will stay with the organization and replace Jimmy Fennig as crew chief for the No. 6 Fords driven by David Ragan. Wingo has been crew chief for the No. 26 team that Roush decided to fold in order to shrink from five teams to four to comply with a NASCAR rule that limits a car owner to four teams beginning next season. Wingo joined Roush at the start of the 2009 season to become crew chief of the No. 26. Ragan posted just two top-10 finishes and finished 27th in points after posting six top-five finishes and finishing 13th in points in 2008. Fennig was shuffled to Roush’s research and development department. Wingo helped guide McMurray to a victory earlier this month at Talladega,

the only win posted by a Roush Fenway driver after Matt Kenseth won the first and second races of the season. “Roush Fenway is looking to build the strongest possible teams SPORTS and sometimes we do that by restructuring Greer personnel,” Roush said. Smith “Jimmy Fennig’s experi■■■ ence and judgement are impeccable, so we made the decision to re-assign him to head up our testing operations to try and make that department stronger. The requirement for us to reduce from five to four Sprint Cup teams allowed us to move Donnie Wingo to the No. 6 to fill that void. I think Donnie brings a wealth of experience to our organization, having won races for multiple

teams, including our organization, and we are anxious to see if he can challenge David Ragan and help him to realize the potential he showed in 2008.”

STILL GOING Bobby Labonte will participate in a different kind of racing next month. Labonte will participate in the Thunder Road Half-Marathon on Dec. 12 in Charlotte to raise money for the Salvation Army’s Triad Holiday Challenge Food Drive. Those making donations of $100 or more to the food drive will receive a T-shirt replica of the jersey that Labonte will wear in the halfmarathon. To the aid in food collection, donations of canned food are being accepted at Bobby Labonte Enterprises in Archdale in addition to Central North Carolina Salvation Army locations.

LOOKING AHEAD Having signed Jimmie Johnson to a contract extension through 2015, Rick Hendrick assumes that he will have Johnson’s crew chief Chad Knaus signed to a extension well before his contract expires at the end of next season. “We’ve talked about it and are working on it,” Hendrick said. “Chad and I are looking at other things to secure his future and investments. It’s kind of a foregone conclusion between us that he’s going to be here. “You know, we’ve got to get the paperwork done. So it’s something we’re doing. We try to get all our guys in place well ahead of when the contracts are up. So that’s underway. I plan for him to retire here. I think that’s what he tells me he wants to do. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Good, Carson-Newman set to battle North Alabama SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

FLORENCE, Ala. – The kickoff for Saturday’s national quarterfinal between Carson-Newman and the University of North Alabama has been set for 1 p.m. The 10th-ranked Eagles (10-2) and No. 5 Lions (11-1) square off at Braly Municipal Stadium in Florence, Ala with a berth in the national semifinals on the line. Carson-Newman dumped West Alabama 59-41 on Saturday, while North Alabama beat Arkansas Tech, 41-28, to set up this week’s matchup. the C-N/North Alabama

winner will face the winner of MinnesotaDuluth and Grand Valley State in the national semifinals on Dec. 5. The Eagles erupted for 49 first-half points and held off a late rally by West Alabama on their way to a 59-21 victory over the Tigers in the second round of the NCAA Division II playoffs. The Eagles exGood tended their winning streak to 10 games. C-N and North Alabama met during the regular season on Sept. 5, with the Lions claiming a 31-14 victory.

Senior running back Buck Wakefield led the Eagles with 119 yards and a score, while senior quarterback Alex Good, who starred at Southern Guilford, finished with 118 yards and two touchdowns. Sophomore running back Nate Inman gained 116 yards and had one touchdown in Saturday’s win. Good was also effective through the air as he completed 7-of-11 passes for 208 yards and three scores. For the season, Good has rushed for 1,138 yards and 13 touchdowns on 200 carries. He’s also connected on 81 of 161 passes for 1,660 yards and 19 touchdowns.

Appalachian State’s Edwards leads SoCon award winners SPARTANBURG, S.C. (AP) – Appalachian State quarterback Armanti Edwards won his second straight offensive player of the year award as the league champion Mountaineers took three of the Southern Conference’s major honors. Besides Edwards, offensive lineman Mario Acitelli won the Jacobs Blocking Awards and coach Jerry Moore shared coach of the year with Chattanooga first-year coach Russ Huesman. The Southern Conference announced the honors on Tuesday. Awards were voted on by league coaches. Edwards became the league’s first back-to-back offensive player of the year since VMI’s Thomas Haskins in 1995 and 1996. Chattanooga defensive end Josh Beard won defensive player of the year. Western Carolina running back Michael Johnson was the freshman of the year.

No. 15 Clemson turns focus to Gamecocks CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) – The Atlantic Coast Conference championship game can wait for Clemson. It’s South Carolina week, and that’s too important for the 15thranked Tigers to overlook. “For us, it’s just the next game, next goal,” coach Dabo Swinney said Tuesday. The Tigers (8-3) have a done a good job so far in sticking to Swinney’s philosophy. They’ve been locked onto the five team goals permanently put on the wall of Clemson’s main meeting room. The Tigers have already checked off the first two this season – “Win The

Opener” and “Win The Atlantic Division” – and now they’re ready to move on to No. 3, “Win The State Championship.” Still, wouldn’t it be easy for the Tigers to brush aside the nonconference rivalry with the Gamecocks (6-5) and let their minds wander to the ACC championship game in Tampa, Fla., against Georgia Tech on Dec. 5? No, Clemson star C.J. Spiller said: “It’d mess up one of our team goals and that’s winning this game.” The Tigers two schools about 150 miles apart first kicked it off in 1896. Clemson holds the overall edge, 65-37-4.

Black and blue affair for Tebow’s home finale GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) – There could be a blackout at Florida Field on Saturday. An eye blackout that is. Florida fans are urging everyone to wear eye black Saturday – with or without inscribed bible verses – in honor of quarterback Tim Tebow’s final home game. It’s a fitting tribute to a player who wants to be remembered more for what he accomplishes off the field than on it. Tebow, the 2007 Heisman Trophy winner, has worn those black, oval patches below both eyes in each of his last 20 games. He started doing it two weeks after his famous promise that followed a 31-30 loss to Mississippi in October 2008. While some players scribble their hometown area codes or messages to friends and family members on their eye black, Tebow goes with bible verses. “I think it’s great,” coach Urban Meyer said. “I’ve got three children. I don’t mind when my daughter, my middle daughter Gigi, texts me every time what he’s wearing. She looks up the verse and texts it to me. I think that’s pretty cool.” Several groups of Florida fans agree, although there are others who believe Tebow shouldn’t be singled out on senior

day. It’s unclear who originated the idea to have everyone wear eye black for Tebow’s finale against rival Florida State, but the plan has spread quickly through Twitter, Facebook, Internet message boards and blogs. Even Meyer, who said he shut his computer down weeks ago to avoid distractions, got wind of it. “I think that’d be a tremendous tribute,” he said. Tebow holds a few NCAA records, several Southeastern Conference marks and even more school records. He has helped the topranked Gators (11-0) win two national championships in three seasons and has them at the forefront of the title picture again. His football success also has provided him with a platform to spread his Christian message. He spends much of his spare time on mission trips, works with underprivileged youth, and visits hospitals and prisons. His eye black gets the word out, too, whether it’s John 3:16, Psalms 23, Philippians 4:13, Romans 1:16 or some other passage. “It’s just kind of what’s in my heart or what I think would be a good verse or appropriate,” Tebow said.

AP FILE

It’s been a long season for ninth-year Virginia head coach Al Groh. His Cavaliers ride a five-game losing streak into Saturday’s game against No. 14 Virginia Tech. There are rumors Groh’s job may be in jeopardy.

Groh not talking about possible exit at Virginia CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) – Virginia coach Al Groh finds the end of the football season to almost always be something of a downer. Suddenly, the coach who works into the wee hours has no next game to prepare for, no reason to spend hours analyzing film and scheming. The Cavaliers’ season finale against No. 14 Virginia Tech maybe doubly tough for the 65-year-old Groh; it will likely be the last at his alma mater after nine up-and-down seasons. Athletic director Craig Littlepage has said that Groh’s situation will be evaluated at season’s end, allowing the administration to consider his whole body of work. He also said it’s important to the school that fans support the program, and attendance is down significantly. Groh, however, isn’t interested in

discussing his job status just yet. “It’s really not about me. It’s about the team and it’s about the players,” he said when asked to discuss his future at his weekly press conference on Monday. “You know, that’s all I’m really thinking about, so I don’t really have any thoughts on it.” The answer is similar to one he has given numerous times in recent weeks as the Cavaliers (3-8) lost five straight, a skid that will land them at home for Christmas for the third time in four years. Groh said he hasn’t considered that Saturday could be his final game. “I just try to be the same person that I talk to the team about being, that we get all our focus on the one game we have and I think that’s part of the reason why we’ve always been able to have a lot of

energy,” he said Sunday night. “... Right now, all of my focus is on everything that we can do to get our team ready to play its very best on Saturday.” That has been a challenge in the series for Virginia under Groh. The Cavaliers have lost seven times in eight games against the Hokies, and none of the players that will suit up for the home team on Saturday has ever beaten Virginia Tech. In a disappointing season, and with the cloud of doubt about Groh’s return hanging overhead, senior defensive end Nate Collins said a win Saturday would be especially sweet. Groh agreed that it would be nice, but mostly for the sake of players like Collins, wide receiver Vic Hall and 28 others who will take part in pregame ceremonies as seniors.

Embattled Terps coach Friedgen presses onward COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) – Ralph Friedgen doesn’t sound like a coach who’s worried about losing his job. Friedgen is suffering through his worst season at Maryland (2-9, 1-6 Atlantic Coast Conference). He has not been assured of completing the final two years on a contract that pays him $2 million annually, but the 62-year-old Maryland grad is already talking with confidence about turning things around next season.

Asked Tuesday at his weekly news conference what he would tell fans concerned about the state of the program, Friedgen said, “I would say keep the faith because we’ve got a lot of guys coming back and I believe in this team very much. They’ve got a lot to look forward to, because we’re going to grow from this experience. “I think the future is pretty bright. ... We took our lumps this year, but we won’t be taking our lumps next year.”

Athletic director Debbie Yow says she will evaluate the coach and the program soon after Saturday’s season finale against Boston College. Yow has yet to issue a vote of confidence to Friedgen, now in his ninth season as head coach at Maryland. Friedgen won the ACC title in 2001, and his 66 wins (against 45 losses) is more than the Terrapins had in the 15 years before his arrival. Maryland went to bowl games in six of his first eight seasons, winning four of them.

Broken or not, hand injury limits Peppers

AP

Tennessee defensive end William Hayes (95) and Houston tackle Duane Brown battle during the first quarter of Monday night’s game. Hayes, who starred at T.W. Andrews High School and Winston-Salem State University, finished with an assist and a quarterback hurry as the Titans pushed their way past the Texans for a 20-17 victory. Rob Bironas’ 53-yard field goal in the final minute sealed surging Tennessee’s fourth straight win after an 0-6 start.

Bironas, Titans continue turnaround HOUSTON (AP) – Rob Bironas kept the Titans’ unlikely turnaround going with another winning kick against the Houston Texans. Bironas booted a 53-yard field goal with 47 seconds left and the Titans won their fourth straight after starting the season with six losses, beating the Texans 20-17 on Monday night. Houston (5-5) had a chance to tie it, but Kris Brown’s 49-yard attempt with 1 second remaining was wide left. It was his second miss of the game and the second straight game he’s missed a chance to send the Texans to overtime. Bironas, meanwhile, beat Houston with a last-minute kick at Reliant Stadium for the second time in three seasons. In 2007, he kicked the game winner as time expired – and set an NFL record with eight field goals – in a 38-36 Titans’ victory. “I always feel good down here,” Bironas said. “I like Houston. I don’t

think Houston likes me too much.” The city’s football fans are more passionate about Vince Young, the Houston native and former Texas star. Some Texans fans still complain that the team didn’t take Young with the first pick in the 2006 draft and instead selected defensive end Mario Williams. Young is now 2-0 in games he’s started against the Texans in Houston. He ran for the winning touchdown in overtime as a rookie, and he ran for 73 yards and threw a touchdown pass in Monday’s game. “It was a lot of love and lot of boos,” Young said of the atmosphere. “It’s definitely fun to play at home because I’ve got a lot of family members and a lot of fans who helped pretty much raise me and made me the man I am today.” The Titans (4-6) haven’t lost since Young replaced Kerry Collins as the starting quarterback. “Vince is not new to jumping in

and winning,” Titans running back LenDale White said. “It’s very exciting. I am more happy to be winning these games, more than anything. Vince is doing the job for us.” The Titans started the go-ahead drive at the 6-yard line, but Houston safety John Busing was called for a 15-yard penalty on a horsecollar tackle of Chris Johnson. A 22-yard run by Johnson two plays later put the Titans on their 41 just before the two-minute warning. Young had a 12-yard run for a first down later in the drive but the Titans couldn’t keep it going and went to Bironas for the field goal, his second of at least 50 yards Monday. The Texans moved the ball 31 yards in five plays before Brown came in for the field-goal attempt. He pulled one from the same distance in the third quarter and hooked one from 42 yards as time expired in a 20-17 loss to Indianapolis before Houston’s off week.

Mindset an issue for skidding Seahawks RENTON, Wash. (AP) – Of all the alarms going off while another Seahawks season crumbles, the one sounded by quarterback Matt Hasselbeck rings loudest. “We can’t get used to this,” the three-time Pro Bowl passer told reporters in Minneapolis immediately after Seattle sunk to 3-7 with a 35-9 loss to the Vikings. It was a repeat of what the team captain has been saying for weeks. “We can’t get used to losing,” Hasselbeck said. By now, it’s hard not to. A sixth consecutive road defeat by double digits left the former four-

time defending NFC West champions 7-19 since their last playoff appearance 22 months ago. First-year coach Jim Mora has leaned on his veterans – specifically Hasselbeck and defensive leader Lawyer Milloy – to keep the rest of the team from accepting all this losing. “That’s a legitimate question,” Mora said Monday when asked how his team is going to avoid getting used to an increasingly familiar and dark mood. “Vince Lombardi used to say winning is a habit – he also said that unfortunately, so is losing. “We’ve struggled here the last few years, so that’s a legitimate ques-

tion,” Mora added. “I am going to rely on Matt and Lawyer Milloy to get the younger players to understand that losing is not acceptable.” Milloy, who just turned 36 and is the oldest player besides kicker Olindo Mare on the team, said the Seahawks’ resolve remains strong. “We have faith in our team. And that’s not going to change,” said Milloy, a former Super Bowl winner with New England. He’s been a backup safety in his first season with Seattle, though he may start this week. Mora said Deon Grant is seeing a hand specialist to examine ligament damage.

CHARLOTTE (AP) – The right hand in question wasn’t wrapped in a cast Monday. The hand’s owner, Julius Peppers, wasn’t talking, and Carolina teammate Everette Brown flinched when asked about it. “No comments on that,” Brown said. “I don’t really know the situation, what’s going on. I won’t go in depth about it.” The four-time Pro Bowl defensive end’s hand is a touchy subject in the secretive world of NFL injuries. Coach John Fox would only call it a “messed up hand.” After Peppers played only on passing downs in a win over Atlanta on Nov. 15, teammate Jon Beason said Peppers’ hand was broken. Fox wouldn’t confirm it, and Peppers didn’t appear on the injury report last week. But in Thursday’s loss to Miami, Peppers was wearing a wrap, was again limited to mostly passing downs and did little against Dolphins left tackle Jake Long. Collecting more than $1 million a game with the richest one-year contract in the NFL, Peppers has one tackle and two pressures combined in the last two games. He did force a fumble

against Miami, but the Dolphins recovered. The injury has also prevented him from moving around the line to confuse offenses. When he tried lining up on the left side when the Dolphins were facing third-and-1 in the fourth quarter, he used an awkward stance with his left hand down and was called for a neutral zone infraction. It gave the Dolphins a first down and they went on to kick a field goal for a 17-6 lead. “It’s pretty hard. I played in college with a broken thumb and had a cast on my whole hand,” Panthers defensive end Charles Johnson said. “You can’t really use the hand the way you want to.” When asked to clarify the injury after the Miami game, Fox replied: “I could, but I probably wouldn’t.” Whatever it is, Beason is surprised Peppers is playing at all. A one-handed Peppers has meant for an anemic pass rush. The Panthers don’t have a sack in the last two games. They couldn’t get to Miami quarterback Chad Henne Thursday even with the Dolphins using three centers and constantly shifting players on the offensive line because of injury.

Rams’ Bulger out 3-6 weeks with broken leg ST. LOUIS (AP) – St. Louis Rams quarterback Marc Bulger will be sidelined three to six weeks because of a fractured left leg sustained in Sunday’s loss to the Arizona Cardinals. The team said it would not place Bulger on injured reserve. Bulger underwent two MRIs on Monday, one on his groin and hamstring and a second for what the team believed was a swollen knee. He also was to be tested

for concussion-related symptoms Tuesday after a physically demanding loss to Arizona. Bulger has completed 56.7 percent of his passes for five touchdowns and six interceptions for the Rams (1-9). Backup Kyle Boller will make his third start of the year Sunday against the Seahawks. Boller has played in three games, completing 57 percent of his passes with two touchdown passes and three interceptions.

Bills consider Shanahan for coach BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) – A person familiar with the Buffalo Bills coaching search says two-time Super Bowl-winner Mike Shanahan is considered a legitimate candidate to take over the job. The Bills have contacted Shanahan, the person familiar with the search told The Associated Press on Tuesday on condition of anonym-

ity because the team is not commenting during its search process. Shanahan has been out of football after being fired by the Broncos at the end of last season. A message left at his Denver office was not returned. Bills defensive coordinator Perry Fewell took over as interim coach when Dick Jauron was fired last week.

Falcons bring in four kickers for tryouts FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP) – The Atlanta Falcons are looking at alternatives for slumping kicker Jason Elam. The Falcons brought Steve Hauschka, Sam Swant and Shane An-

drus and former Georgia standout Brandon Coutu to their practice facility for tryouts on Tuesday. Hauschka, Swant and Andrus have NFL experience. Coutu was drafted by Seattle in 2008.

Big Ben expects to play despite concussion PITTSBURGH (AP) – Ben Roethlisberger’s fourth concussion since 2006 apparently won’t put him on the bench. Roethlisberger will play Sunday in Baltimore as long as he continues to pass post-concussion tests, coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday. The tests measure a player’s memory and reflexes, among other factors, before and after he has been injured. “He felt normal. He felt fine,” Tomlin said of Roethlisberger’s first round of testing. “The battery of tests that he took showed that he had no symptoms. We’ll continue to monitor his condition and where he is on a day-today basis and let that guide our decision-making.” Roethlisberger’s head inadvertently struck the knee of the Chiefs’ Derrick Johnson while he was being dropped for a 1-yard loss in overtime during Pitts-

burgh’s 27-24 loss in Kansas City on Sunday. It was the third time Roethlisberger has gotten a concussion during an NFL game. “It could be characterized as a mild concussion, but I hesitate to use the word mild because concussions are not anything to be taken mildly,” Tomlin said. “We’re proceeding with caution. ... If any symptoms re-occur, or he feels less than fine, we’re going to act appropriately.” The Steelers (6-4) apparently are so convinced their franchise quarterback will be OK, they plan to go into the AFC North game with only Roethlisberger and second-year player Dennis Dixon at the position. They will sign a third quarterback, but he won’t be a veteran who is capable of stepping in and playing immediately.

Dixon, a former Oregon quarterback, moved up the depth chart when backup Charlie Batch broke his left wrist after replacing Roethlisberger in overtime. Dixon has thrown only one pass in two NFL seasons. Batch will have surgery today. He is expected to be out two to four weeks and, at least for now, the Steelers are keeping him on their 53-man roster. The Steelers, already playing without star safety Troy Polamalu (left knee ligament) and defensive end Aaron Smith (right rotator cuff), also lost left guard Chris Kemoeatu with a sprained right medial collateral ligament in Kansas City. He is expected to be out for a couple of weeks, and will be replaced by non-drafted rookie Ramon Foster. Tomlin isn’t ruling Polamalu out of the Ravens game, calling him “questionable, at best.”

US Air defers delivery of planes TEMPE, Ariz. – US Airways said Tuesday it will delay delivery of 54 Airbus jets until at least 2013 as it tries to bolster its financial strength. The company said delaying the deliveries will reduce its aircraft capital expenditures over the next three years by $2.5 billion.

Warner Music posts surprising loss

Recovery remains sluggish WASHINGTON (AP) – The economy is growing modestly, with consumers too wary about spending to invigorate the recovery. That was the picture that emerged Tuesday from reports on the nation’s economy and the confidence of consumers, who power 70 percent of it. The economy grew at a 2.8 percent rate last quarter – less than originally estimated. And forecasts for the current quarter are for similarly

slight growth before a dropoff next year. The main reasons are that consumers remain reluctant to spend, commercial construction has slipped and imports are dampening U.S. growth. The Commerce Department’s new reading on gross domestic product was weaker than the 3.5 percent growth rate for the July-September period estimated just a month ago. The GDP, which mea-

sures the value of all goods and services produced in the United States, also was a tad weaker than the 2.9 percent growth rate that economists surveyed by Thomson Reuters had expected. Also Tuesday, the Standard & Poor’s/CaseShiller home price index of 20 major cities suggested that the housing market’s recovery is continuing, if only gradually. Home prices rose slightly

in September. Compared with a year earlier, though, they remain down 9.4 percent. The good news is that the economy finally started to grow again after a record four straight losing quarters. The bad news is that the rebound, now and in the months ahead, probably will be lethargic. The worst recession since the 1930s is very likely over, but the economy’s return to good health will take

Saab’s future turns murky

NEW YORK – Warner Music Group Corp., one of the nation’s largest record companies, on Tuesday posted an unexpected loss in the fourth quarter as severance costs weighed on results despite a strong slate of music releases from artists including Jay-Z and Madonna. It shares slumped $1.11, or 16 percent, to $5.95 in afternoon trading after falling as low as $4.44 earlier in the day.

Joost assets bought by online ad company NEW YORK – The struggling online video startup Joost, begun with much fanfare by the creators of Skype and Kazaa, has been sold to an online advertising company. Adconion Media Group said Tuesday it bought Joost assets for an undisclosed sum. These include the technology behind Joost’s video platform and the Joost trademark.

Interactive Data to buy Dow business BEDFORD, Mass. – Interactive Data Corp., a provider of financial market data, said Tuesday that it’s buying certain online financial data operations from Dow Jones & Co. for $13.5 million in cash.

It’s buying technologies from Dow Jones that provide online news, market data, research, advanced charting, portfolio management and alerts. ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

time, Fed officials and economists say. Growth probably won’t be strong enough to quickly drive down the nation’s unemployment rate, currently at 10.2 percent. Some analysts think it could climb as high as 11 percent by the middle of next year before making a slow descent. It could take at least four years for the unemployment rate to drop back down to more normal levels.

Consumers gloomy heading into holidays NEW YORK (AP) – Retailers heading into the traditional start of holiday shopping are facing consumers who are only a bit less gloomy than they were a year ago as they worry about a weak job market. The latest snapshot from the Conference Board showed shoppers’ confidence improved only slightly in November, from October, but it’s stuck far below what could be considered healthy and is about half of the historic average. The private research group said Tuesday that its Consumer Confidence Index edged up to 49.5, up from a revised reading of 48.7 in Octo-

ber. Economists surveyed by Thomson Reuters expected a reading of 47.7. That compares with a reading of 44.7 in November 2008, a level that sank even lower before enjoying a three-month climb from March through May. But the road has been bumpier since June as rising unemployment has taken a toll on consumers. A reading above 90 means the economy is on solid footing. Above 100 signals strong growth. Last fall, “consumers were facing the fact that America was entering a deep economic hole,� said C. Britt Beemer, chairman of America’s Research Group, a consumer research group based

in Charleston, S.C. “Now, they’re in that hole.� Economists watch consumer sentiment because spending on goods and services for consumers accounts for about 70 percent of U.S. economic activity by federal measures. How consumers behave during the holidays and beyond will be key to how strongly the economy rebounds from the worst recession since the 1930s. With holiday sales accounting for up to 40 percent of many retailers’ annual sales, analysts will be dissecting shoppers’ receipts to see how deal-driven shoppers are and whether they’re leaning toward small-ticket items like DVDs.

Experts say depressed spending could persist for several years amid stubbornly high levels of unemployment, which is now at 10.2 percent, the highest in 26 years. “Consumers won’t be in the mood to spend for some time,� Paul Dales, U.S. economist at Capital Economics Ltd., wrote in a report Tuesday. After shoppers showed some signs of life in September and October, stores are seeing a sales lull in November, according to reports from analysts and stores. And some merchants are starting to get a little edgy; several, including Gap Inc. and Lord & Taylor, have extended their sales.

DETROIT (AP) – A Swedish specialty automaker has backed out of a deal to buy Saab from General Motors Co., casting serious doubt on the future of the troubled brand. Koenigsegg Group AB said Tuesday it has decided to end the deal, which was announced in June. Financial details of the acquisition were not disclosed by GM. The Detroit automaker had been trying to unload the Swedish brand as it restructured under bankruptcy protection earlier this year. The collapse of the Saab sale is the third GM deal to fall through this year for a variety of reasons. GM Chief Executive Fritz Henderson says the company is disappointed in the decision and will take the next several days to figure out what to do. A person briefed on the deal said Tuesday that Koenigsegg informed GM of the decision on Monday, and Saab’s future is now unclear. GM’s board will have to decide the company’s next move, said the person, who asked not to be identified because the decision has not been made.

NEW YORK (AP) – A disappointing report on consumer confidence and a more sober read on the economy pulled stocks from 13-month highs Tuesday. Major indexes posted modest losses in light trading as drops in financial and industrial stocks were tempered by gains in health care companies. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 17 points a day after jumping by 133. Stocks pulled off their lows of the day after the Federal Reserve released minutes from its latest rate-setting meeting, during which it pledged to keep rates low for the foreseeable future and said inflation remained at bay. The Fed raised its expectations for economic growth during the second half of this year, but said unemployment will remain high. Stocks had been falling

prior to the report after the government revised its calculation of third-quarter economic growth down to 2.8 percent from its original estimate of 3.5 percent, the latest sign that the recovery is likely to be slow and bumpy. “It’s all about the daily data,” said Howard Ward, chief investment officer of the GAMCO Growth Fund. “Today’s was uninspiring.” The Dow fell 17.24, or 0.2 percent, to 10,433.71.

The dollar’s weakness has been a big driver behind higher stock prices this year. Investors have been taking advantage of record-low interest rates to invest in assets other than cash that can earn them better returns.

Is Black Friday worth the effort? PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) – Shopping on Black Friday can be daunting, with massive crowds, pre-dawn start times and long checkout lines. Roughly 77 million Americans are expected to head to stores Friday, the day after Thanksgiving and often considered the start of the holiday shopping season, and the frenzy will continue through the weekend. But whether it’s worth participating depends on who’s shopping, what they want and all the costs involved. Here’s what to keep in mind. • The shopper: This is the biggest factor. Some people

love the thrill of the chase. They want to score a deal, and they like the tradition. To them, Black Friday is worth the effort no matter the hassle. “There is a visceral excitement to going to stores on Black Friday; it’s almost like a sporting event,” said Dan de Grandpre, editor in chief of online shopping and discount guide dealnews.com. Even though promotions pervade the season, the ideal Black Friday Shopper responds to the sense of urgency and exclusivity that retailers create for that day with early openings and a limited number of items discounted, said Steven Hoch,

a marketing professor at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton business school. Others want nothing to do with it. And for some it’s a default tradition, a means to get out of the house after overeating on Thanksgiving, a break from bad weather and an activity every family member can participate in. • The item: Retailers count on the excitement of Black Friday to ignite holiday shopping so they use big, attention-grabbing discounts to lure shoppers. The most notable deals are usually on big-ticket purchases like televisions, computers and

other electronics, de Grandpre said. There may be more discounts this year on smaller items like sweatshirts or coffee pots to cater to shoppers’ more modest ways. But the big splash is where the big savings lie. • The costs: After you determine (ahead of time) what you should pay for the items you want, then decide whether your savings will be worth your additional costs. Count the value of your time, the gas to get to the store and circle for parking, the extra snacks at the food court and any other costs you incur simply because you are shopping.

Recession hangover plagues banking industry WASHINGTON (AP) – The apparent end of the recession and stabilizing financial markets have not cured the banking industry, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. said Tuesday. Banks earned $2.8 billion in the third quarter, but loan balances plummeted and the fund that insures their deposits was $8.2 billion in the red.

Souring loans continued to hurt bank balance sheets, and were one of several key indicators at their worst levels in 26 years of record-keeping. The number of banks on the FDIC’s “problem list” rose to 552 from 416 on June 30, the highest level in 16 years. Fifty banks failed during the quarter – the largest number since the second quarter of 1990.

The FDIC’s fund that insures bank deposits fell by $18.6 billion, mostly because $21.7 billion was set aside for expected losses on future bank failures. The last similar deficit was in Dec. 1991, when a predecessor fund was more than $7 billion in the red. The FDIC voted this month to require banks to prepay three years of deposit insur-

ance premiums by the end of next month to help replenish the dwindling fund, which is at its lowest point on record. That will raise about $45 billion. But bank failures this year through 2013 are expected to cost the fund $100 billion, so the prepayments won’t provide a long-term fix for the insurance fund.

Heinz profit falls 16 percent PORTLAND, Ore. – H.J. Heinz Co.’s says its business is thriving in emerging markets but the recession continued to drag down its U.S. and European sales during the second quarter as shoppers limited spending or chose lower-priced products. The food maker reported Tuesday that its quarterly profit fell 16 percent from last year, when the company’s results were boosted by currency shifts. But it boosted its full-year guidance, saying it will invest heavily in market to spur growth in its sluggish markets.

Green Mountain sweetens bid for Diedrich WATERBURY, Vt. – Green Mountain Coffee Roasters sweetened its offer for Diedrich Coffee by $2 per share on Tuesday, matching a rival bid from Peet’s Coffee & Tea. Tuesday’s bid comes two days after Peet’s raised its own offer for Diedrich, hoping to get a foothold in the wholesaler’s popular and growing singleserve coffee pod business.

Crude prices sink near $76 per barrel NEW YORK – Oil prices fell below $76 a barrel Tuesday with new data showing a slow U.S. economic recovery and consumer confidence that remains lukewarm at best. The dollar also gained against other major currencies, which can keep energy prices in check. Benchmark crude for December delivery fell $1.50 to $76.06 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The Commerce Department said the economy grew at a rate of 2.8 percent between July and September, short of estimates for 3.5 percent growth released just a month ago.

Warming temps cut Oregon snowpack CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) – Scientists report that rising temperatures appear to be responsible for cutting the snowpack in Oregon’s Cascade Range in half over the past 77 years. The report from Oregon State University released Tuesday found that the warming trend is seen

most in the spring. Temperatures are up almost 4 degrees since 1958 in January, March and April. Meanwhile, there has been no significant trend in precipitation. The mountain snowpack acts as a natural reservoir for rivers that are crucial to salmon, farming and ranching.

Climate summit challenge: Reshaping the world AMSTERDAM (AP) – Next month’s climate summit in Copenhagen seeks to transform the way we run the planet, from the generation of energy, to the building of homes and cities, to the shaping of the landscape. It would also shift wealth from rich to poor countries in the process. No wonder a deal will be tough to cut. In recent weeks, prospects brightened, then dimmed, then revived again. President Barack Obama dampened expectations when he said during his Asian tour a final package could not be completed at the con-

ference. He then lifted hopes by signaling the U.S. might go further in the talks in the Danish capital than had been expected because of lagging U.S. legislation. Hoping to nudge negotiations off dead center, key governments have strengthened pledges to control their nations’ greenhouse gases, the heattrapping emissions blamed for global warming. But everyone is still waiting to see what the U.S. will do. The major economies “are coming to Copenhagen ready to fill in the blanks. They are all looking to see what happens in Congress, and what

the U.S. is able to bring to the table,� said climate analyst Jennifer Morgan of the World Resources Institute, a Washington think tank. Facing mounting impatience, the U.S. delegation could bring a provisional number to the conference,

promising at least a 17 percent cut in greenhouse gases over the next decade, measured against 2005. More than 65 heads of government will attend the final days of the Dec. 7-18 conference, investing personal prestige in the outcome.

Try going miniature – and a touch personal – with your pumpkin pie this Thanksgiving with these dark pumpkin tartlets.

Now, it’s personal Pumpkin pie gets a chocolatey makeover 1 4 1 4 1 2

BY ALISON LADMAN FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A

n extra-dark gingerbread crust and dark chocolate glaze make these miniature pumpkin tarts a rich rethinking of the classic Thanksgiving dessert. If desired, accompany them with lightly sweetened whipped cream.

Dark Pumpkin Tartlets Start to finish: 11⁄2 hours (45 minutes active) Makes 15 tarts For the crust: 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon salt 1 ⁄2 cup sugar 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1 teaspoon ground ginger

⁄ teaspoon ground cloves ⁄ teaspoon nutmeg ⁄ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces 1 ⁄4 cup molasses 1 egg For the filling: 15-ounce can pumpkin puree 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk 3 eggs, lightly beaten 1 ⁄2 teaspoon salt 1 ⁄4 teaspoon nutmeg 1 ⁄2 teaspoon ground cloves 1 ⁄2 teaspoon cinnamon 1 teaspoon ground ginger For the glaze: 1 ⁄2 cup heavy cream 6 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped Equipment:

2 standard muffin trays (you need a total of 15 muffin tin cups) To make the crust, in a food processor combine the flour, salt, sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and nutmeg. Pulse together. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles small crumbs. Add the molasses and egg, then pulse until combined and a dough forms. Squeeze the dough into a round cake, then wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 1 hour. Meanwhile, make the filling. In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients and whisk until well combined. When the dough is ready, heat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray 15 of the muffin cups with cooking spray. On a lightly floured surface, roll

1 out the dough until ⁄4 inch thick. Use a 4-inch round cookie cutter to cut out 15 rounds of dough, rerolling and using the scraps as needed. Gently press a round into each muffin cup. Divide the filling between the cups, then bake until the centers have set up, about 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool. Run a butter knife around the edges of the cups to loosen the tarts, then remove from the pans. To make the glaze, in a medium microwave-safe bowl microwave the cream until boiling, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add the chocolate to the bowl and let sit for 2 minutes. Stir with a wooden spoon until the mixture is homogenous and shiny. Pour the glaze over the top of each tartlet. Let firm up in the refrigerator, then serve at room temperature. Leftovers should be stored in the refrigerator.

Senior Resources of Guilford is again partnering with Harris Teeter for this year’s Santa for Seniors, an annual effort to gather and deliver gifts for less-fortunate senior citizens in Guilford County. James Joyce, volunteer coordinator for Senior Resources of Guilford, is delivering empty gift bags to schools and daycare centers for children to decorate in advance of their delivery just before Christmas. Gifts from the community are gathered at each of the 12 Harris Teeters in Guilford County, and volunteer elves gather them, take them to a central Holiday House and package the gifts in the bags that children have decorated. Joyce said 1,159 gift bags were distributed last year. Within those bags, a total of $4,033 worth of gift cards was donated. He said that volunteers will be needed to help out again this year. “We are always grateful to have people helping out in the Holiday House or delivering the bags,” he said. For more information or to volunteer, contact Joyce at (336) 373-4816.

Whole-wheat breadsticks are sweet, savory BY ALISON LADMAN FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

T

hese healthy wholewheat breadsticks combine the savory flavor of fresh sage with the sweet tang of dried apricots. Golden raisins or even dried cranberries could be substituted.

Whole-Wheat Apricot Sage Breadsticks Start to finish: 1 hour 15 minutes (25 minutes active) Makes 12 breadsticks 1 2

⁄ cup very warm tap water 1 tablespoon active dry yeast 1 tablespoon honey 1 ⁄4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces 3 ⁄4 cup milk

2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh sage 1 teaspoon salt 1 cup all-purpose flour 2 cups white wholewheat flour 1 ⁄2 cup chopped dried apricots In a large bowl, combine the water, yeast and honey. Let stand for 5 minutes, or until bubbly. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over low, combine the milk and butter. Heat until warm, but not hot. You should be able to comfortably leave your fingers in the mixture. Add the sage to the milk, then set aside. To the yeast mixture, add the salt, both flours and the milk mixture. Use an electric mixer on low to mix until the ingredients form a soft dough. Mix in

the apricots until evenly distributed. Let the dough rest in the bowl for 5 minutes. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 minutes or until soft and supple. Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes. Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Use your fingers to press the dough into a 10-by-14-inch rectangle. Cut the dough into 12 strips. Arrange the strips on the prepared baking sheet, twisting them slightly. Let rise for 10 minutes. Bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes.

Consider serving Whole-Wheat Apricot Sage Breadsticks instead of rolls this Thanksgiving.

Wednesday, Nov. 25, 2009 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Donovan McNabb, 33; Christina Applegate, 38; Amy Grant, 49; John Larroquette, 62 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: There is much to learn and to experience ahead of you. It is a time of change that must be faced, endured and put to rest if you want to move forward in a positive manner. Open your heart and your head to the possibilities and you will not be led down the wrong path. It’s up to you. Your numbers are 3, 14, 20, 23, 34, 39, 43 ARIES (March 21-April 19): You will finally fall heir to information that clears up a matter you’ve been concerned about for some time. A professional change may be in order. Don’t let your past cause trouble for you. An old love should be left alone. ★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You’ll be erratic when dealing with people you need on your team. Stay calm. Do your homework and you will not be left in a vulnerable position. A change in your personal life will help you find happiness and success. ★★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Versatility is one thing but changing your mind mid-stream when it affects others will turn into a problem. Be consistent if you want to gain the confidence of people who can make a difference to your future prospects. ★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): You’ve got plenty to be thankful for and to look forward to if you can see beyond all the negativity and clutter in your life. You can make the changes that will lead to a better environment. ★★★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You can’t buy love or happiness but you can go into debt trying to do so. Smarten up and spend money on something worthwhile. Be careful where you leave your wallet; loss is apparent. ★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Try to curb your generosity and replace it with a kind word or moral support. Someone’s emotional ups and downs will get you thinking about your own well-being and what you can do to protect your own interests. ★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You will face problems if you are dealing with home repairs or contractors. Try to do a lot of the work yourself. You can make a difference to a group you appreciate and you will achieve great satisfaction. ★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Avoid being sucked in to someone’s emotional turmoil. Meddling will lead to complaints and being criticized for something you did unintentionally. Living a lie is not your style nor will it satisfy you long-term. ★★★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Don’t be fooled by someone’s insincere emotional plea to help. Getting involved with people who don’t share the same value system won’t work. Keep a watchful eye and an open mind. ★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You know what you have to do, so stop sitting and waiting. Taking immediate action will put everyone else at ease, knowing that they are in good hands. You will be offered an interesting task with lots of potential for advancement. ★★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t share your secrets with everyone. Put some thought into what you can do to make more money or advance professionally. A unique service that you can offer the elderly will pay off. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): If you act impulsively, you will make a mistake that cannot be reversed. You may ruin an important relationship if you are not fair in the way you handle matters. Make situations work now so you don’t have to backtrack. ★★★

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

Eddie Kantar is a champion player and one of the world’s most prolific and engaging writers. His recent book “Give Yourself Extra Chances” treats a theme often seen in my columns. In today’s deal from the book, North-South reach 3NT, and the defense starts with four club tricks. Dummy discards a heart, and East sheds a low spade. Kantar asks you what declarer should discard from his hand.

HIGH DIAMOND To discard a diamond honor gives up the chance for a winning diamond finesse: 50 percent. To discard the five of hearts gives up on a 3-3 heart break: only 36 percent. Moreover, Kantar points out, if East had the king of diamonds, he might have signaled with a high diamond on the fourth club. “Negative inferences go a long way in this game,” Eddie reminds you. “Extra Chances” (with a free Kantar tips pamphlet included), $21.95 postpaid from 2700 Neilson Way 334, Santa Monica CA 90405. For info on all of Eddie’s fine books, plus other features, see kantarbridge.com.

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S A Q J H 4 3 2 D A 8 4 3 C 7 6 5. The dealer, at your left, opens one spade. Your partner doubles, and the next player passes. What do you say? ANSWER: Your partner promises opening values, and if he has a little extra strength, you have a chance for game, probably at notrump. Jump to 2NT, invitational. An aggressive try for game is appropriate since the play should go well; you’ll know where almost all of the missing high cards are located. 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.
