Dell delays shutdown BY JOE FEENEY CITY EDITOR

WINSTON-SALEM – Remaining workers at the Dell manufacturing plant in Winston-Salem will have a chance to keep their jobs a little longer as the company announced Friday it’s delaying the plant’s closing another three months.

David Frink, Dell spokesman with the company’s corporate headquarters in Round Rock, Texas, said the plant, originally scheduled to shut down in January, will remain open through April. Frink said the delay is due to an unexpected uptick in business in recent weeks.

“We’ve seen some signs of improving demand for our products in some of our customer segments, and we need to supplement the work being done in our other factories for the short term in order to meet customer needs,” he said. He said employees were notified of the decision on Friday afternoon.

Looking to save $4 billion corporatewide amid a slumping market, Dell initially announced in October it would close its Triad desktop computer manufacturing plant in January, putting 905 people out of work. The last day of work for about 400 of the em-

Pawn shop owners go for the gold BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

her Christmas shopping months in advance. She said she purchased several items after Christmas last year when those items were on sale. “It’s the first year I’ve done this,” she said. “It’s been a huge relief.” Dorothy Owens browsed children’s clothes in J.C. Penney at Oak Hollow Mall on Friday. She said she was concentrating on her children and relatives for her gift buying this Christmas. “It’s just family we buy for now,” she said. “We don’t shop for or exchange gifts with friends anymore.” Also minimizing Christmas expenses was June Conrad, who shopped for her four grandchildren at Target on Friday. Conrad said she wasn’t buying anything on credit cards and she was buying fewer gifts overall. “Instead of buying the kids several gifts, I’m buying them one major gift,” she said. “If you’re smart, you won’t use credit cards this year. You’ll pay as you go.”

TRIAD – More area residents may be selling gold jewelry for extra cash rather than receiving it as a gift this Christmas. The value of an ounce of gold has continued its record breaking rally throughout most of the year, settling at $1,131 on Thursday. Combined with a growing number of families who are struggling to afford presents, gold is the item to be sold this season, pawn store managers said. “With the holidays and this time of year, gold has definitely stimulated our market,” said Jim Greene, owner of Coins and Stuff at 1017 E. Lexington Ave. “It’s good for our business, and it’s taken off this year.” Some who sell their gold to Greene say they are taking advantage of its high value, but most say they need extra cash for other necessities. “The people that come in are telling us they need to make their house payment, catch up on bills or buy Christmas presents,” he said. Though the shop specializes in coins and jewelry, Greene said people also had brought other items to try to sell for additional funds like antique paintings and clocks. The scene is similar at Thomasville Pawn and Jewelry, where gold is the main item customers are selling and electronics are the main item they’re buying. “People are looking for bargains and trying to beat high store prices,” said Jason Cranford, manager of the store at 710 E. Main St. in Thomasville. “They’re bringing things to us to turn into cash so they can afford Christmas.” Cranford said the store has collected more gold this season than ever before, and sales are up from last Christmas. People also are buying gold at the store, mostly in the form of women’s gold rings, he said. Cranford and Greene agree that now is the best time to sell gold, but they warn against advertisements that encourage viewers to mail their gold to companies for an undisclosed amount. “It’s a lot safer and better business if you go to a local person that you can look in the eye that will look at your gold,” Greene said. “That way, you’ll get a fair and honest price.”

Local gift ideas for under $10. 2A BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – The tree isn’t the only thing that local residents are trimming this season. A 1.3 percent rise in national retail sales last month may be giving some retailers hope, but shoppers say they’ve learned that buying too many presents can come back to haunt them in the new year. To battle economic conditions and prevent further buyer’s remorse,

‘Instead of buying the kids several gifts, I’m buying them one major gift. If you’re smart, you won’t use credit cards this year. You’ll pay as you go.’ June Conrad Target shopper shoppers said they will cut their holiday spending in several ways. Some are starting by shredding the plastic. “We’re trying to spend more on debit cards or pay over the counter with cash,” said Renee Clanton, who shopped for her daughter at Target on Friday. “We’re spending the same amount because we’ve been lucky to keep our jobs. We’re very fortunate in that way.” Other shoppers said they were cutting back on spending altogether. Rather than buying gifts for their friends and family, they’re focusing on the kids. “I usually go way overboard with my nieces and nephews,” said Cheryl Hicks, an Asheboro resident who shopped in the High Point Kmart on Friday. “This year, I’m cutting way back. It’s the first year that I’ve done that.” Hick’s mother, Sherry Ellison, accompanied her daughter but said she had already completed

Appointments: Call 641-5563 for a health department appointment in Greensboro or 845-7655 in High Point for flu vaccinations.

BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

Cost: There is no out of pocket cost. People should bring insurance or Medicaid cards, if they have one. Others: Mollen Immunization is offering $15 H1N1 vaccination clinics at area Walmart stores. Customers can find specific store information at flushotsusa.walmart. com. Visit www2. thecarolinascenter.org/ fcf/FluClinicFinder.aspx for other pharmacy and grocery sites. Information: Contact Guilford County Department of Public Health at 641-7777 or visit the agency website at www.guilfordhealth. org.

GUILFORD COUNTY – With more shipments of seasonal influenza vaccines on the way, the Guilford County Department of Public Health is accepting vaccination appointments. Most health providers ran out of adult seasonal flu vaccines in November. The seasonal vaccine is for people age 4 and older. There is no outof-pocket expense for the vaccine, but people should bring their Medicare, Medicaid or insurance cards. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has estimated that this year’s seasonal

flu vaccine supply will reach about 115 million doses, but distribution has been slowed by the pandemic H1N1 vaccine campaign. Health care providers have opened H1N1 vaccination clinics to almost everyone 6 months of age and older as more vaccines have arrived. The Guilford agency has not yet announced another non-appointment clinic for H1N1 vaccinations. Health officials have reported for two weeks that the growth of swine flu cases has stabilized as vaccination clinics have become more widespread. Although the numbers rose slightly through November, the increas-

es have stabilized. Commercial providers have offered more clinics as more vaccine doses have arrived. Health officials urge people in these high-priority groups to get flu shots: pregnant women; children 6 months to 24 years of age; health-care workers and emergency services personnel; adults ages 25-64 with underlying health conditions; and household contacts and caregivers of children 6 months of age and younger. People who are moderately or severely ill should wait until they recover to get the vaccine, according to health experts.

State officials estimate they will recover about $1.5 million of the $8.5 million that has since been provided to Dell. Winston-Salem Mayor Allen Joines said he also expects local governments to recover about $26 million floated to Dell.

BOTTOM LINE

BOISE, Idaho (AP) – It’s become an annual winter tale: A young boy gets his tongue stuck to a metal pole, perhaps as the result of a dare. This year, the scene straight out of the movie “A Christmas Story” unfolded Tuesday morning in Boise with a boy of about 10.

HIGH POINT – Local shoppers have made their stance, and they refuse to spend too much money on Christmas gifts this year. Area shop owners know it’s been a tough year for some, but they say they have just the thing to ease the burden for customers – an array of gifts under $10. The gifts are unique and easy on the wallet, and they’re located in stores in High Point so shoppers won’t need to waste fuel to find them. “People are still in a good mood,” said Tami Hendrix, owner of Meg’s Gifts at 205 Neal Place, about the outlook of shoppers this season. “They are also looking for a good value.” For friends in the office, Hendrix suggests a variety of decorative note pads and other supplies at her store. The shop sells memo mouse pads, constructed out of a pad of paper so it serves a dual purpose, for $9.99. Other initialed note pads can be found in the store, in holiday and decorative prints, for $5.75. College sports fans in the family might enjoy a luggage tag with their favorite team’s logo from

schools like the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, North Carolina State University and Wake Forest University. The tags by Patra are $6.99 a piece at Gilded Lily at 1104 N. Main St. Gourmet peach and cherry pie mixes are available for $8 at Kits Company at 1101 N. Main St. The gift is one of the most popular sellers at the store, according to its owners, and it’s perfect for the cook in the family. Everything needed to bake the pie is included in the gift. An array of other gourmet items also can be found at the store, including artichoke mango olive salsa by Amo and Robert Rothschild’s raspberry salsa, both $9.95. Wine bags by Scout, costing $10, also have sold well at Kits. Meg’s Gifts offers decorated and initialed wine goblets to go along with those bags, which will suit any wine connoisseur in the family. Finally, for the woman who loves Vera Bradley, scented candles by the designer are available for $6 at Gilded Lily. They serve as stocking stuffers that carry a designer label name, so the recipient won’t know that the buyer was on a budget this year. Women may also enjoy the corduroy bucket tote, personalized with their initial, at Meg’s Gifts for $10.

State attorneys: Perdueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comments arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t legal precedent RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Attorneys for the state distanced themselves Friday from Gov. Beverly Perdueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s initial public comments about freeing prison inmates, arguing that a press release from North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief executive should not be considered legal precedent. Tiare B. Smiley, a special deputy attorney general, told a judge in Wake County that the court should focus on legal arguments, not â&#x20AC;&#x153;atmosphericsâ&#x20AC;? such as press releases and public comments. Citing state court decisions, Perdue said in October that the officials would be â&#x20AC;&#x153;forcedâ&#x20AC;? to release

Superior Court Judge Ripley Rand recalled that chaos during a hearing Friday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All of a sudden, everybody says, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;No big deal.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that look weird?â&#x20AC;? he said to the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attorneys. Smiley told Rand that a press release from Perdue should not be â&#x20AC;&#x153;binding legal precedent on this court.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those things, I think, are just outside the courtroom,â&#x20AC;? Smiley said. Attorneys for two of the inmates have tried to show that the state believed the credits did apply.

a group of prisoners whose life sentences had been limited to no more than 80 years. One prisoner argued that behavior credits had shortened the sentences even further. While Perdue expressed outrage herself, her press release also triggered angst among victims and lawmakers who feared what might happen if the group of convicted murderers and rapists returned to society with no supervision. But after consulting with legal counsel, Perdue later reversed herself and argued the inmates did not qualify for credits reducing the length of their sentences.

Police arrest Central students in drug bust ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

HIGH POINT â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Police made arrests and seized drugs Thursday at High Point Central High School. A police report stated that the arrested juveniles were found to be in possession of various prescription pills. The report lists four offenders, but the exact number of arrests and

the charges were unavailable Friday. A police spokesman could not provide further details on Friday, adding that the school resource officer handled the case, not the departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Vice & Narcotics Unit, which typically handles drug investigations. The incident was reported just after 9 a.m. at the Ferndale Boulevard school.

S.C. fireworks firm City may face suit over atheist councilman fined $40,000 Little-known provision in N.C. Constitution for fatal blast

RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Asheville City Councilman Cecil Bothwell believes in ending the death penalty, conserving water and reforming government â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe in God. His political opponents say thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sin that makes him unworthy of serving in office, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got the North Carolina Constitution on their side. Bothwellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s detractors are threatening to take the city to court for swearing him in, even though the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s antiquated requirement that officeholders believe in God is unenforceable because it violates the U.S. Constitution. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The question of whether or not God exists is not particularly interesting to me, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s certainly not relevant to public office,â&#x20AC;? the recently elected 59-year-old said. Bothwell ran this fall on a platform that also in-

cluded limiting the height of downtown buildings and saving trees in the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s core, views that appealed to voters in the liberal-leaning community at the foot of the Appalachian Mountains. When Bothwell was sworn into office on Monday, he used an alternative oath that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t require officials to swear on a Bible or reference â&#x20AC;&#x153;Almighty God.â&#x20AC;? That has riled conservative activists, who cite a little-noticed quirk in North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Constitution that disqualifies officeholders â&#x20AC;&#x153;who shall deny the being of Almighty God.â&#x20AC;? The provision was included when the document was drafted in 1868 and wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t revised when North Carolina amended its constitution in 1971. One foe, H.K.

Copenhagen deal would doom us, Obama regime The scientific basis for the whole “global warming” scam, which was spread all over the globe by Al Gore and the Acorn administration, has been proven baseless, and more and more evidence is coming forward about how these so-called “environmental scientists” have tried to manipulate the data to make it fit the equation they want to sell. Can’t make the data fit the results you wish to present? Simple. Destroy the data completely. Science fiction? No. Science fact. Yet the Enterprise continues to print Associated Press stories which were written as if global warming is a proven fact, rather than the absurd excuse to tax anything a politician can connect to the environment. “U.N.: 2000-2009 may be warmest decade ever”: That whole article discusses Chairman Maobama’s “redistribution of wealth” and decries that poorer nations may have to suffer the burden of curbing greenhouse gases. It’s not about the environment, it’s about power, money and greed. News flash. Carbon dioxide

(CO2) has been determined to be a “pollutant” and “greenhouse gas” by the mad scientists behind this farce, but fail to mention that CO2 occurs naturally all over this planet and is what plants consume, releasing oxygen as its waste. Let’s review. With no plants on the planet, how does the Earth sustain human life? It doesn’t. But let’s not bother the folks in D.C. with facts. They seem to stay away from them like the plague, especially when they’re plotting on stealing cash in the name of the environment and their New World Order. If Chairman Maobama signs this Copenhagen deal, not only will it mark the end of the way Americans live (no more pick-up trucks, no more SUVs, etc.), it will also clearly be the end of the current administration and possibly the Democratic Party as well.

Gather your loved ones around you, the ones that are left. Tell them how much you love them. Enjoy your time together! I spent seven years in Germany.

He should have been discharged many years before he pulled his terrorist act. The officers that promoted him should be found and discharged from the U.S. Army.

No one can accuse Democratic Gov. Bev Perdue of taking a hands-off approach to governing the state. Just the other day, the governor made another trip to the nation’s capital in an effort to get officials in Washington to funnel more federal dollars down to Raleigh. We all like to get someone else to pay for the things we need and want. So a flight to D.C. to try to cajole Washington bureaucrats into sending more money our way seems like a good way to do that, doesn’t it? Well, not exactly. Don’t Perdue and the members of her administration realize that the money to finance federal spending comes from the same resource that the state uses to get its money? It all eventually comes out of taxpayers’ pockets. Our state constitution requires that the General Assembly and governor balance state government’s budget, thereby putting a measure of fiscal discipline on our leaders in Raleigh. But there’s no such constitutional requirement on the federal government. Politicians have exploited this lack of constitutional discipline and have placed taxpayers in tremendous debt. According to usdebtclock.org, the U.S. national debt is approaching $12.1 trillion. That’s more than $39,000 per citizen and more than $111,000 per taxpayer. This calendar year’s federal budget deficit is approaching $1.5 trillion. More federal spending, even if it’s on the states, will serve to add to that deficit and to the federal taxpayers. In North Carolina, those are generally the same people that pay the taxes to help state government function. The same Web site estimates that the average taxpayer in the United States has already shelled out this year more than $37,000 in federal, state and local taxes this year. Taxpayers don’t need a bigger burden, whether they’re paying for government at home, in Raleigh or in Washington. The debt that will have to be shouldered by taxpayers doesn’t need to continue mushrooming. What taxpayers need is for their elected officials to practice better fiscal discipline. Many of them have seen their hours reduced, their salaries cut or, even worse, been laid off. They don’t need to be saddled with future increased tax bills. Doing so would be counterproductive.

What ideas do Republicans have besides ... hate liberals?

welve. That’s how many times Mike Hughes used the word liberal(s) in his most recent column. Now that in itself is no surprise to readers of this newspaper. We’ve all grown accustomed to the One Note Johnny routine, rolling our collective eyes at the “conservative” talking-point meanderings that are passed off as provocative writings every other Sunday. Liberals this, liberals that. Liberals, liberals, liberals, etc., ad nauseam. It’s like op-ed Lunesta. But somewhere in between those 12 times of using the word liberal(s) he managed to include my name for some inexplicable, pointless reason. So I thought I’d return the favor. But one has to wonder: Are “conservatives” averse to actual ideas? We know it’s true on the local level (see above). Just take the current crop of Republicans in Washington. Apparently, you cannot be other-than-conservative and also be considered a real Republican. This is rather odd, because according to Republicans, well, there are conservative Democrats, moderate Democrats, liberal Democrats – all of whom are socialist commies at the end of the day anyway, of course, which makes it easier for the Republicans to point fingers at those darned terrorist lovers. But to be conservative is to be Republican, and vice versa. There’s no such thing as liberal Republicans. As a result, there is only lock-step stupidity that passes for intelligence. Need I mention “best-selling author” Sarah Palin? And it was, after all, a Republican who shouted “You lie!” at President Obama on national television awhile back. Would that very Republican have done the same to George Bush while he was president? Well, no. Not against Mr. W.M.D. Mission Accomplished. I guess you could call that a lie of omission (or is it a double lie?). Oh, but I was talking about ideas, wasn’t I? Guess I’m going random. It seems that Republicans, or conservatives as they prefer, haven’t got any ideas. Well, except that they hate liberals, and are dead set against any genuine health care reform of any kind for our people (unless it benefits corporations

somehow), they love to support the two wars we’re still fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan (both are illegal, immoral and bankrupting us further), they continue to endorse the torture our countrymen have committed against others, they don’t OPINION mind the illegal spying on our own citizenry by governmental Robert agencies and private compaHealy nies, couldn’t care less about ■■■ the Bill of Rights, and just love giving tax breaks to the wealthy and corporations. There’s more, but in fairness, Democrats are hardly truth tellers themselves. And they basically support the same things as the Republicans, thus making the liberal-socialist-commies conservatives by default (ha!). That leads me to another random thought … Obama says we’ll start pulling out of Afghanistan in 2011, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates says we’ll probably be over there another two to four years, and the soldiers know that conditions on the ground are always changing, which naturally means we’re not leaving Afghanistan anytime in the foreseeable future. Defense manufacturers and mercenary groups heard the cha-ching in the wind and uncorked the magic of their bottles of Dom. Some people just love the smell of napalm (or depleted uranium or white phosphorous or charred flesh of nonAmericans from the other side of the world) in the morning. And then there was Harry Reid saying the public option in the health care debacle was going down the tubes. He said it as though we were supposed to believe he actually wanted the public option in the first place. Well, here’s another word for the P.T. Barnum crowd of conservatives and liberals: “Suckers.” Happy Hanukkah! Shalom. ROBERT HEALY is a veteran of the U.S. Army and graduate of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.

Saudi prince returns after medical treatment RIYADH, Saudi Arabia â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Saudi Arabiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crown prince returned home Friday after a yearlong absence for treatment of an undisclosed illness that sparked rumors about his health and raised questions about the complicated issue of royal succession in the oil-rich kingdom. Crown Prince Sultan arrived to a royal reception at Riyadhâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s airport. He looked healthy and shook hands with hundreds of well-wishers led by King Abdullah, his half brother.

Government supporters stage rally in Iran TEHRAN, Iran â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Thousands of Iranian government supporters staged rallies Friday to denounce opposition students who burned photos of the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supreme leader in protests this week. At marches in Tehran and other cities after Friday prayers, participants shouted the traditional hard-line slogans â&#x20AC;&#x153;Down with the U.S.â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Down with Israel,â&#x20AC;? Iranian state TV reported, but their ire was largely directed against the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s persistent domestic opposition.

UK court issues order in Tiger Woods case LONDON â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A British judge has barred journalists in the country from publishing some material about golfer Tiger Woods. An injunction issued Thursday even blocks media including The Associated Press from revealing the details of the order itself. As a result, media who obey the order cannot tell the public what they have been barred from revealing. News organizations based outside of the UK ignored the order.

The body-snatching horrified people in Cyprus and came as the islandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Greek and Turkish Cypriot leaders are locked in complex reunification talks that have made limited progress.

Bomb blast kills 6 south of Baghdad BAGHDAD (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; An Iraqi Interior Ministry official says at least six people are dead after a two-pronged bomb attack south of Baghdad that was apparently designed to ambush bystanders. The official says the first bomb went off with no casualties Friday in the village of Qaragoul, about 12 miles south of Baghdad. Then as people gathered, a nearby car bomb exploded, killing at least six people and wounding 20.

SecretaryGeneral Ban Ki-moon to start searching for a replacement so the post would not be vacant like it was for two months before he started. Eideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stewardship was tarnished by allegations from his American deputy, Peter Galbraith, that he was not bullish enough in curbing fraud in the August presidential election. President Hamid Karzai was declared the winner three months later after his last remaining challenger dropped out of a runoff. Eide said controversy over the election was not linked to his decision to leave.

The secretary also said significant international sanctions would be levied if Iran continues with its current nuclear program, and added that all options, including military action, must stay on the table. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think that you are going to see some significant additional sanctions imposed by the international community,â&#x20AC;?

A fresh look at the ‘Second Nativity Scene’ O

ne scene that commonly appears in front of churches and in store windows at this time of year is the Nativity Scene. The story of the first Nativity Scene some 2,000 years ago is well-known, but who started the practice of remembering that scene through figurines and sometimes live characters? For that, we have to go back almost 800 years to what I call the “Second Nativity Scene”; the first time someone came up with the idea. And the guy who gets the credit is none other than Francis of Assissi. Francis of Assisi (St Francis for Catholics) (1181 or 2-1226) is mainly remembered today because of a monastic order he founded which bears his name, the Franciscans. The purpose of this order (also known as the Order of Friars Minor) was complete poverty for the monk and preaching and works of charity to the people. Francis was raised the rich son of a cloth merchant in Assisi. As a boy

and young man, he engaged in the mindless activities of other wealthy sons. Slowly, after being captured in a local war and after going on a pilgrimage to Rome, Francis decided to give STUDYING up his former lifestyle THE CHURCH and devote himself to God. At first, he focused on helping lepers in AsMark sisi and in rebuilding a Nickens small church. He soon ■■■ attracted followers, likeminded men and women who also wanted to minister to others’ needs. The Franciscan Order was officially sanctioned in 1209. Francis desired to alleviate suffering and to teach people about God. As for teaching, Francis followed the practice of the day, namely to preach. Yet, Francis lived in the Middle Ages. This meant that illiteracy was widespread.

So most of the people to whom Francis and his followers were preaching received their knowledge of the Bible only from what they heard and saw. The hearing part was easy (preaching), the seeing part more difficult. One attempt at getting the Bible message across visually was through stained glass. To those who could not read, a visit to church would show them the Christian message in the windows of the church or cathedral. For the illiterate peasant, this was his Bible. Francis was well aware of this problem. He himself could read, remember he had grown up in wealth. And, he knew the purpose of the stained glass in the churches. And, he himself was preaching to the people. Yet, in his pastor’s heart, he wanted a more dramatic way of presenting the Gospel message to people. Christmas always had been Francis’ favorite holiday, perhaps because of its message of hope to people that a Savior

had been born. He realized that he could present this message in a visual form so that the illiterate peasants could better understand what happened on that night so long ago. Therefore, in 1223, Francis and some of his followers took an ox, donkey, and trough filled with hay and reenacted the scene of the birth of Christ. He led the townspeople of Greecio (where he was staying at the time) to this reenactment on Christmas Eve and had a worship service in front of this Second Nativity Scene. And the rest is history. From one man’s desire to visually represent the scene of Jesus’ birth to illiterate peasants has come to us the practice of Nativity scenes seen around the world every Christmas. Extra credit: A Nativity scene is also known as a crèche. QUESTIONS/COMMENTS: Contact Mark Nickens at drnickens@triad.rr.com; other summaries at drnickens.com.

Billy Graham welcomes Christmas with highlights D

uring the Christmas season, for many years now, we have welcomed Billy Graham into our homes via television and radio with a new message of God’s special gift for all mankind. We can look for him again this year. Through Christmas, the following news release gives us the complete information. “Classic and contemporary combine as the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA) welcomes the Christmas season with a television program focusing on the birth of Christ and a look back at 2009 ministry efforts. The program is airing now through Christmas on national Christian cable television networks. “The program will celebrate Christmas with encouraging words and a Bible reading from Franklin Graham, along with timeless nostalgic clips of Christmases-gone-by with

SHARING THE SPIRIT Bill Ellis ■■■

Billy Graham. “We open our packages and we sing together and we watch the excitement on the faces of our children,” Billy Graham says in a black-and-white clip from 1952. “But at the same time, Christ is at the very center of all our Christmas

celebration.” “The program also looks back at 2009 and highlights three of the key BGEA outreaches. The first ministry featured is the Rock the River Tour, the teen-focused series of evangelistic concerts that took place along the Mississippi River in July and August with artists like Flyleaf, Kirk Franklin, Red, Skillet and Lecrae, combined with challeng-

ing messages from Franklin Graham. “The program then takes a looks at the ministry of the Billy Graham Rapid Response Team, the network of crisistrained chaplains who deploy into disaster areas to appropriately offer love and hope in the midst of tragedy. The Billy Graham Rapid Response Team recently wrapped up a deployment to Georgia after rainstorms flooded entire neighborhoods. Chaplains have comforted and prayed with more than 1,600 homeowners in the area north of Atlanta following the floods. “The final ministry spotlighted is My Hope World Evangelism Through Television, through which more than 9 million people have come to know Jesus Christ. My Hope combines grass-roots relationships and nationwide TV broadcasts to reach entire

Guard Your Eyes The eyes evoke desire more readily than the other senses. The mere sight of something or someone can plunge us into deep longing, so it is important that we be cautious about what we look at. Desire is truly the source of most of our suffering, and improper desires are a great source of human evil. Consider all the pain and suffering caused by greed and lust, which are often the direct result of seeing something that evoked desire. So, we should be careful about what we look at, and not tempt ourselves by putting ourselves in situations where we will see things which we know will evoke unwholesome desires. The eyes are indeed, the windows of the soul, and everything that we are exposed to visually, somehow enters or touches the soul. As the philosopher Nietzsche put it, “if you gaze too long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.” Thus we should guard our souls by guarding our eyes. Exercise a wholesome chastity of the eyes.

The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is sound, your whole body will be full of light; but if your eye is not sound, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!

Man whose dad rotted in bed gets 20 years GRETNA, La. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; For 21â &#x201E;2 years, the body of 81-yearold Leroy Adams Sr. lay curled in bed, rotting down to a dark stain around a partly clothed skeleton. His son, a retired Army reserve officer, has maintained that he did not kill his father. Lon Adams, 60, says he canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t explain why he left the body in a closed bedroom, telling his sister and his son that â&#x20AC;&#x153;Paw Pawâ&#x20AC;? was asleep, sick, angry or in a hospital. But on Friday, Adams was sentenced to 20 years on a manslaughter conviction.

Woman, 98, indicted in roommateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death NEW BEDFORD, Mass. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A 98-year-old woman was indicted Friday on a second-degree murder charge that alleges she strangled her 100-year-old roommate in a nursing home. Laura Lundquist was sent to a state mental hospital for a competency evaluation before she is arraigned. The body of Elizabeth Barrow, with a plastic bag tied around her head, was found in her bed at the Brandon Woods nursing home in Dartmouth on Sept. 24. ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

Health care tab to keep growing under overhaul WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Democrats trying to push President Barack Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health care overhaul plan through the Senate got a sober warning Friday that costs will keep going up and proposed Medicare savings may harm the program. A new report from government economic analysts at the Health and Human Services Department found that the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $2.5 trillion annual health care tab wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t shrink under the Democratic blueprint that senators are debating. Instead, it would grow somewhat more rapidly than if Congress does nothing. More troubling was the reportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assessment that the Democratsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; plan to squeeze Medicare for $493 billion over 10 years in savings relies on specific policy changes that â&#x20AC;&#x153;may be unrealisticâ&#x20AC;? and could lead to cuts in ser-

Senate Banking Committee Chairman Sen. Christopher Dodd, D-Conn., takes part in a health care news conference on Capitol Hill in Washington Friday. vices. The Medicare savings are expected to cover about half the nearly $1 trillion, 10-year cost of expanding coverage to the uninsured. In still more bad news, the report starkly warned

that a new long-term care insurance plan included in the legislation could â&#x20AC;&#x153;face a significant risk of failureâ&#x20AC;? because it would attract people in poor health, leading to higher and higher pre-

miums, and eventually triggering an â&#x20AC;&#x153;insurance death spiral.â&#x20AC;? Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., brushed that aside, pointing to an analysis by the Congressional Budget Office that found the program would

be solvent for 75 years. The one bright note: The bill would provide coverage to 93 percent of U.S. residents, reducing the number of uninsured people by about 33 million, the report said.

FBI questions students in Pakistan, eyes charges WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; FBI agents have questioned some of the young Americans arrested in Pakistan as U.S. investigators gather evidence that could lead to a conspiracy charge against them, an American official and another person familiar with the case said Friday.

Agents are working to see if there is enough evidence to charge any of the five Muslim students with conspiracy to provide material support to a terrorist organization, the two people said. Officials in both countries expect the five, who are from the

Washington, D.C., area, to be deported back home. But Pakistan may hold them long enough for U.S. prosecutors to prepare charges, and there was no immediate indication how long that might take. While Pakistani officials have said the men admitted trying to

connect with militant groups, an FBI note sent to American lawmakers Thursday evening said the bureau had â&#x20AC;&#x153;no information linking them to terrorist organizations.â&#x20AC;? That FBI note did not address whether the students attempted to join a terrorist group.

Drug combo improves breast cancer survival SAN ANTONIO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Some women with very advanced breast cancer may have a new treatment option. A combination of two drugs that more precisely target tumors significantly extended the lives of women who had stopped responding to other medicines, doctors reported Friday. It was the first big test of combining Herceptin and Tykerb. In a study of 300 patients, women receiving both drugs lived nearly five months longer

than those given Tykerb alone. Doctors hope for an even bigger benefit in women with less advanced disease, and were elated at this much improvement for very sick women who were facing certain death. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see a lot that works in patients who have seen six prior therapies as they did in this trial, so that alone is exciting,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Jennifer Litton, a breast cancer specialist at the Univer-

sity of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center. The good results are in stark contrast to two other studies that found no survival advantage from Avastin, a drug whose approval for breast cancer patients was very controversial. Two infusions of Avastin a month, as needed for this treatment, cost about $30,000 with fees for administering the drug. Considering Avastinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s potential side effects â&#x20AC;&#x201C;blood clots in the lungs, poor wound healing, kid-

New direction Incoming Trinity officials ready to hit the ground running BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRINITY – For several Trinity officials set to be sworn in Tuesday night, the need for recycling service and the creation of a downtown in Trinity are top priorities. Council-elect Kristen Varner and Tommy Johnson, as well as the city’s

Coming up...

Outgoing mayor, council member reflect on their terms. TOMORROW new mayor, Carlton Boyles, will be sworn in during the City Council’s regular monthly meeting.

Discussing their priorities for the city, Varner, Johnson and Boyles said providing recycling service to Trinity residents is a goal. In April, the City Council voted not to implement a mandatory trash and recycling service. “I personally support the mandatory trash and pickup,” said Johnson, a newcomer to the City Council who ran unopposed in November. “I’m not sure what direction we need to go to handle recycling, a collection system or a site for recyclables. I

think that requires a lot of debate.” Boyles said he expects discussion on the recycling plan to take place at the City Council’s retreat on Jan. 9. “I want to see us do something about our recyclables,” Boyles said, adding that a new law mandates residents to separate recyclables from trash. “Our citizens need us to act on this quickly.” Johnson and Varner both expressed their support for Trinity’s Center City plan, a plan recently adopted by the City Coun-

cil that is aimed at creating an “identity” for the center of Trinity. “I think Trinity really needs (the Center City project),” Varner said. “I think it would be a perfect way to manage the growth that’s going to happen with the sewer and create a real sense of community and identity that we can be proud of here.” Boyles said the implementation of a proposed city park, which is a piece of the Center City plan, would “bond” Trinity’s citizens together. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Sentencing for a High Point man in connection with a 1970s sex abuse case was postponed Friday after an apparent medical emergency sent the defendant to the hospital. Guy Ellis Carr Jr. was scheduled to be sentenced Friday morning, four days after pleading guilty to eight counts of indecent liberties with a child stemming from a series of sexual assaults between 1973 and 1981 that were committed against a girl from the time she was 4 or 5 years old until she was about 12. Carr’s attorneys told Superior Court Judge Brad Long of Randolph County that their client, who suffers from bladder cancer, went to the High Point Regional Hospital emergency room Friday morning, was discharged, but had to return for treatment of some bleeding. Carr, who is free on $150,000 bond, was cleared to return home after being released by a urologist. Carr’s defense team – Greensboro lawyers Wayland Cooke and Davis North – made a motion to continue the sentencing, which Long denied, explaining that he wanted to finish the case Friday. “If we don’t do it today, next week, we might find ourselves in the same situation or worse,” Long said. After relaying the judge’s decision to his client early Friday afternoon, North reported to Long that Carr’s medical problem had again flared up and he was en route to the emergency room. Carr was subsequently admitted to the hospital for treatment related to a blood clot, his attorneys said. Long then continued the sentencing until Dec. 18. The 66-year-old Carr, owner of Carr Mill Supplies in High Point and a deacon at Emerywood Baptist Church, was indicted last year after police recorded a conversation he had with his victim, who is now an adult, in which they discussed the abuse. In exchange for his guilty plea, prosecutors dropped all but eight counts of the 32-count indictment, including rape, sex offense and crime against nature charges. Long did not sentence Carr after he entered his plea Monday, explaining that he had to leave court early that day and needed time to think about an appropriate sentence. The sentence could range from probation or no jail time to an active prison term because the case involves crimes that predate the state’s structured sentencing laws, which set specific guidelines and ranges for determining punishments. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

Pastor says Christmas is a time for open hearts BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT — The leader of one of the largest mega-churches in the Midwest urged High Pointers on Friday to take Christmas to the less fortunate. The Rev. Kent Millard, whose recovering-alcoholic father first took him to church at age 10, urged those attending the 39th annual Community Prayer Breakfast at High Point University to be accepting and open. “The lesson of the Three Wise Men in the Christmas story is that God wanted to reach out to

The second chance Millard’s father received at a Methodist church in South Dakota helped him with his recovery from alcoholism. “I decided I liked church people and I began my journey there,” Millard said. More than 600 guests attended the breakfast that included remarks from HPU President Nido Qubein. HPU music ensembles, directed by Marc Foster, provided special music.

Barry essentially played the same character in all three series, which spanned the 1950s to the 1970s. After two decades as a TV star, Barry found himself typecast as a television actor and never returned to prominence in films. Instead, he stayed active with stage appearances and dozens of TV guest appearances.

Gardening gifts for Christmas giving I

f you have a gardener in your family, unique gardening items and products can be a real pleaser for them on Christmas morning when they open their gifts. Garden Kneeler: If your gardener likes to get down and dirty like I do when I am weeding, pruning and planting in my landscape and garden, the Garden Kneeler is ideal to protect their knees as they get down on hands and knees to dig, etc. Most of the brands I have seen are either Âž o an inch foam rubber or gel pads about one foot by 20 inches in rectangular shapes. Most are $10-25 each. Moss Milkshake: Moss Acres makes a new product for gardeners with a shady garden. The product is a package of a dry mix blended from fragmented moss plants, powdered buttermilk, acidifying agents and a water-retention gel powder. The idea is to plant moss instead of grass in shady

areas for a less intensive battle than trying to grow grass. Simply add water and spread the mixture over any firm, bare ECOLOGY surface for a lush covering of Gwyn moss on soil or Riddick stone. â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; Wind and Weather Devices: If your gardener is a Yardiac, that is, loves to work and live most of the year in the yard, on the patio or deck for downtime and enjoying the sounds and moods of nature, you can find an assortment of gifts to please. Measuring the temperature, wind and rainfall are always absorbing duties of the Yardiac. Some like the sounds and magic of Mother Nature by hanging wind chimes, weathervanes, wind spinners, whirligigs, spiral glass ornaments, flags,

etc. More serious Yardiacs will need a thermometer, rain gauge and possibly a weather station. Boot/Shoe Scrapers: Your wood and tile floors will thank you. One of the most practical gifts to mount on your porch, deck or patio just outside the door is a boot/shoe scraper or brush so you can leave the earth outside the house. The neatest one I have seen is a little metal molded beaver with a long bristle brush for its tail. BirdCam: For serious bird lovers and watchers, you can get them the ultimate in natural bird photography. Wingscape.com makes a series of birdcams that capture digital photos and videos of birds while you are away and so the birds are not disturbed while feeding at your feeder. Just mount the weatherproof, motion activated camera on a post or tree and you will be a natural photographer with

House kit, you can grow ingredients for cooking, teas, herbal remedies or just enjoyment to learn about how plants grow. For Kids, you can buy the Curious George or SpongeBob Square Pants which shows kids how to grow the Amazing Instant Plant or the Super Fast Rocket Plant among others. The Tea House set includes three kinds of herbs used to make a variety of herbal teas: spearmint, lemon balm and German Chamomile. $3-8. Go online to the Internet this year to find unusual and unique gifts for your gardener. GWYN RIDDICK is a North Carolina Certified Plantsman and registered landscape contractor. He is a Fellow in the Natural Resources Leadership Institute and is the director of the Piedmont Triad office of the North Carolina Biotechnology Center.

More cave restrictions sought ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Federal wildlife officials hoping to check the spread of a disease killing hibernating bats in Eastern states are recommending steps that states farther west should take if â&#x20AC;&#x153;whitenose syndromeâ&#x20AC;? strikes. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on Dec. 4 sent recommendations to state and federal land management agencies in Ohio and several other

states outlining precautions for hibernation caves or mines hit by white-nose. They recommend closing affected caves, with a possible exception for researchers. They also recommend research-only access for caves within 75 miles of an affected site. White-nose is estimated to have killed more than a million bats in nine states since first noticed in 2006.

ear Abby: I am nearly 50, and learned when I was in my early 30s that I was adopted. I became engaged to a man my adoptive mother did not like. When I told her the news, her response was, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do what you want â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ours anyway!â&#x20AC;? I was devastated. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize it was literally true until years later, when several of my cousins confirmed it. Since then, I have located my birth family, although my birth mother died long ago. I asked my adoptive mother (who was and still is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Momâ&#x20AC;? to me) to please send me all the documents she had relating to the adoption, as well as some letters she mentioned that my birth mother had sent in later years saying she was thinking about me and hoping I was well. Mom told me she had thrown them all out! I was devastated all over again. Mom says Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m overly sensitive, that the papers were worthless trash and were hers to dispose of. Over the years she had promised several times to show them to me but never did. Now

she claims I knew all along that I was adopted and just wanted to find a better mom. ADVICE Abby, am I being Dear ridicuAbby lous? I still â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; have a hole in my heart because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never speak to my birth mom, although my siblings have filled in a lot for me. I was able to get my birth certificate and some other papers, but would have loved to have read the letters my birth mom wrote asking about me. I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t spoken to Mom since, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m waiting on your verdict now. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Janet in Texas Dear Janet: Your feelings are not â&#x20AC;&#x153;ridiculous.â&#x20AC;? It was cruel of your adoptive mother to promise to share your birth motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s letters with you and then to destroy them. She may have done it because she was deeply insecure about whether she would measure up in your eyes

if you saw them. Her comment at the time of your engagement was also cruel in light of the fact that you had no clue that you were adopted when she said it. Was this woman EVER a loving and supportive parent? If so, then try to forgive her. But from my perspective, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Momâ&#x20AC;? has some glaring personality flaws, and whether you speak to her is strictly up to you. Dear Abby: Please settle a disagreement Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m having with my boyfriend. In the song â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jingle Bells,â&#x20AC;? he insists the horseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bob Tail.â&#x20AC;? However, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pretty sure itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a description of the horse, as their tails used to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;bobbed,â&#x20AC;? or cut short. Please understand my boyfriend is one of those guys who is â&#x20AC;&#x153;never wrongâ&#x20AC;?! â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Jingle Belle in Daly City, Calif. Dear Jingle Belle: Never wrong? Well, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always a first

time. You happen to be 100 percent right. The lyric in the carol isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bob Tail,â&#x20AC;? itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;bobtail.â&#x20AC;? The definition of the word is in Websterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Collegiate Dictionary. (What may need some â&#x20AC;&#x153;bobbingâ&#x20AC;? may be your boyfriendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ego, and I hope you had some money â&#x20AC;&#x153;ridingâ&#x20AC;? on this.) Dear Abby: Is it impolite to ask for your favorite server at a restaurant you frequent? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Dining Out in Winchester, Va. Dear Dining Out: No, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not impolite â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in fact, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done all the time. But if the server is popular, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always a good idea to call ahead to reserve a table in your favorite serverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s section.

HOROSCOPE

CROSSWORD

Saturday, Dec. 12, 2009 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Mayim Bialik, 34; Madchen Amick, 39; Jennifer Connelly, 39; Tracy Austin, 47 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: The emphasis must be put on dedication, loyalty and discipline this year. You can make a difference to something you believe in if you are willing to lower your overhead and stabilize your financial future. Love is in the stars and will be one of your motivators this year for the path you follow and the agreements and contracts you are willing to sign. Your numbers are 6, 13, 20, 22, 29, 38, 45 ARIES (March 21-April 19): You’ll be surprised how much you can accomplish if you speak directly from the heart. Discipline and hard work will pay off later in the month when you need a little time to yourself. A romantic moment will be enlightening. ★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Talks and negotiations will enable you to make plans for the future. Get everything you want in writing or you may be short-changed. A change in plans can be to your advantage if you are adaptable. Emotional matters can be resolved if you reveal your true feelings. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You may be required to pay off an old debt. You can ask for financial assistance but, before accepting, go over the terms and decide if it is better to wait until the new year because of taxes. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Your status may be altered by the changes going on at work or within your community. Get involved so that you have a say. Expressing your concerns will allow you to raise awareness and your expertise and research will lead to an unexpected advancement. ★★★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You’ll be impulsive when it comes to shopping and entertainment costs. Don’t be fooled by products that promise the impossible. Hold off making a move, decision or promise until you fully understand what’s involved. ★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Discuss your plans with someone you respect and you will get an inside view that could potentially change your mind and your direction regarding home and family. A relationship you thought was secure may need special attention. ★★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Coming up with alternative suggestions will help you stay within your budget and please everyone around you. A bargain can be found if you look in the right place. Do your homework and you will succeed. ★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Stick to what you know and do best. Appeal to the emotional side of any issue that concerns family members. Expect someone to take action at home without consulting you. Anger will not be the answer. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Make travel plans or connect with someone from your past who has expertise or knowledge you need to tap into. Expect someone to make last- minute changes that will upset your plans. Regroup quickly and proceed. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You have to share your thoughts before you make a move. Withholding information will slow you down. You’ll be surprised how quickly your decisions affect others. There is money to be made if you jump at an opportunity. ★★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): What you have to offer will be welcomed and, in return, you should get the backing you need to proceed. Love is in the stars and will be a contributing factor to the proposal you want to make. ★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Look at your options and you will see what needs to be done to prepare for a better future. A deal can be negotiated to your liking. A little friendly persuasion will make the difference you need to move forward with your plans. ★★★★★

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

This week’s deals have treated “trump promotions.” Many defenders have a psychological block against this play: They assume that declarer’s trump suit must be his exclusive domain. But a trump promotion (or its cousin the “uppercut”) is often the only chance for the defense to prevail. Test yourself by covering the East and South cards. You lead the king of clubs and follow with the queen and ace. Everyone follows. What do you lead at the fourth trick?

OVERRUFF

DAILY QUESTION

West should lead the 13th club. It’s hard to imagine a hand for declarer where this play will give him the contract. In theory, West is conceding a ruff-sluff, but the defense will lose nothing because East will overruff if dummy ruffs. On the actual deal, the ruff-sluff can’t help declarer because he has no losers to sluff. Moreover, the defense will gain a trick because East will ruff with the king of trumps. Whether declarer overruffs with the ace or discards, he’ll lose six tricks in all to go down one.

You hold: S 10 7 3 2 H Q 10 8 D 6 4 C A K Q 5. Your partner opens one heart, and the next player passes. What do you say? ANSWER: This problem is not as simple as it may appear. Some players would respond one spade, looking for a possible 4-4 fit. But your side is assured of a 5-3 heart fit that may be superior, and to suggest values in clubs may help partner decide how high to bid. Respond two clubs. If partner rebids two hearts, you’ll raise to three. 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.

Nutrition for young athletes

ear Dr. Donohue: I have five grandchildren ranging in age from 7 to 16. All of them are involved in sports, including baseball, softball, basketball and soccer. In discussing physical fitness with my grandchildren, I was told that prior to participating in their sports, they often do not eat a properly balanced meal. They tend to skip breakfast, lunch or dinner, depending on the time of the activity. Would you comment on the proper diet for youngsters participating in physical activities? – S.L.

BLONDIE

All your grandchildren are at ages when they’re growing rapidly. That in itself is a major consideration for pushing good nutrition. Add to it an active sports life, and attention to nutrition becomes a must. Most athletic energy comes from stored carbohydrate – glycogen. Glycogen is found in muscles and in the liver. It’s the major fuel for activity. We have quite a large glycogen fuel tank, but supplies of it can be depleted if no attention is given to what’s eaten. Breakfast is especially important. Your grandchildren have gone about 12 hours without any food: eight hours of sleeping and four hours from dinner to bedtime. If they have four hours from breakfast until they are engaged in physical activity, they can eat a large meal. It takes about four hours for the stomach to empty of food. A large

breakfast is one with lots of carbohydrates – pancakes, wholegrain cereals, wholeHEALTH grain bread or toast, Dr. Paul low-fat Donohue milk, fruit ■■■ and fruit juices. If they have only an interval of about an hour before they’re practicing, then they should eat less food. A bowl of cereal, some fruit or fruit juice and toast with peanut butter and jelly. That meal should pass through the stomach moderately fast, so they won’t have a full stomach when they’re running around. Two tablespoons of peanut butter has up to 190 calories, and it’s also a good source of protein. In addition to carbohydrates, protein intake has to be kept in mind. Lean meat, fish, poultry, beans and eggs are good protein foods. Your grandchildren shouldn’t skip any meal, but breakfast is especially important. Dear Dr. Donohue: I am a part-time assistant coach at a high school, just because I love sports. One of our players had a tooth knocked out this past football season. How should that be treated? I’m not sure we did the right thing. – H.L. The tooth should never be held by its roots, only by the biting surface. The

roots have delicate ligaments that anchor it back in its socket. If the tooth is covered with dirt and grime, put it in a bowl of warm water for a short time, a minute at most. Don’t scrub it, and don’t put it under running water. Try to position the tooth back into its socket. Have the athlete gently bite down on gauze to keep the tooth in place. If you can’t reposition it, then put it in a container and cover the tooth with milk or salt water (1/4 teaspoon of salt in a cup of water). You might want to look into investing a little money in a commercially available container that comes with fluid for transporting a tooth. The brand name of one of these containers is Save-A-Tooth, and you can reach the manufacturer at www. save-a-tooth.com. The most important treatment is getting the player to a dentist ASAP. Dear Dr. Donohue: Do you think a mouth guard is necessary for basketball? My son’s school insists on them. I think it’s overkill. – B.P. I think mouth guards should be worn in any sport where there’s a danger of losing a tooth or damaging one. Basketball is said to be a noncontact sport, but it isn’t. Tell your son to clean his mouth guard after every use. Bacteria and molds can take up residence in them if they aren’t kept clean.

say again to everyone that I am profoundly sorry and that I ask forgiveness. It may not be possible to repair the damage I’ve done, but I want to do my best to try.” How long Woods will stay away from golf was unclear. A year ago, he was out of golf for eight months while recovering from reconstructive knee surgery, and television ratings dropped 50 percent during his absence. Woods and his wife, Elin, have been married five years and have a 2-year-old daughter and 10-month-old son.

HPU women set for tests BY STEVE HANF ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

HIGH POINT – Naturally, Amy Dodd still spends plenty of time studying. She is, after all, a “student-athlete” at High Point University. But the Panthers’ junior gets to hit the books on her own terms – a hard-earned reward for carrying a top grade point average. “A lot of freshmen and underclassmen still have to go to study hall, but if you get a 3.0 or higher, you get to be out,” Dodd explained. “Since first semester (of freshman year) I’ve been out, and I’m staying out – that’s what I’m going for.” Dodd and her High Point University teammates take a quick break from the rigors of final exams with tonight’s home game against UNC Wilmington. The 7 o’clock tip at the Millis Center comes one day after the start of finals and mere hours after the Saturday morning and afternoon testing sessions. Panthers coach Tooey Loy gave his team the day off Thursday – “reading day” at the school – after HPU defeated Campbell 78-57 on Wednesday to snap a four-game skid. High Point (3-5) saw four players score in double figures, while 6-foot senior center Ashleé Samuels scored six points, blocked two shots and pulled in a career-high

14 rebounds and junior guard Frances Fields netted five points, 10 rebounds, nine assists and three steals. The players’ lone oncourt responsibility after beating the Camels was a two-hour practice on Friday. Today’s exams mean the Panthers won’t even have a shootaround. “We’ll come to the gym and just play,” Loy said. “It’s a tough week for them, but they’ll handle it. I think this team’s kind of fired up and ready to play again after what they did tonight.” Now comes the task of duplicating that effort against the Seahawks. UNCW, from the Colonial Athletic Association, owns a 2-3 record and ranks in the middle to bottom-third of the CAA statistics so far this season. Junior Brittany Blackwell leads the Seahawks’ attack with 15.2 points per game. You could say UNCW could provide quite a test for HPU – but that’s not really a word any of the Panthers want to hear right now. “It gets tough,” said Dodd, whose schedule includes single exams Friday, Saturday and Thursday and a pair of finals on Wednesday. “You learn to manage your time pretty well. It’s a lot of late nights, but you learn to deal with it.” shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

Foot trouble sidelines Ginyard BY BRIANA GORMAN DURHAM ENTERPRISE BUREAU

CHAPEL HILL — When the No. 11 North Carolina men’s basketball team returns to the court today, it will be without one of two senior starters. Marcus Ginyard will miss today’s game against Presbyterian (7:30 p.m., no TV) as a precautionary measure as he com-

pletes a medical evaluation because of pain in his left foot. “Marcus has some ‘early’ pain in his left foot in an area unrelated to the stress fracture he had last year in his fifth left metatarsal,” Dr. Tom Brickner said in a statement. “We are putting him through an evaluation at this time, but preliminary tests are encouraging.”

Prosecutors dropped a misdemeanor assault charge against Carolina Panthers linebacker Jon Beason on Friday because they couldn’t find any witnesses who saw him throw a punch.

Tigers sneak past Raiders BY DANIEL KENNEDY SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

HIGH POINT – Benaiah Wise led all scorers with 19 points as the Ragsdale Tigers held on for a 62-50 victory over T. Wingate Andrews on Friday night. A tight battle throughout, neither team saw its lead swell to double-digits until late in the contest. Despite a pursuing defense, the inside-out combination of Wise and frontcourt teammates Kalik Parker and Devonte Fletcher proved to be the difference. “We had some guys do a good job of rebounding,” Ti-

gers coach Craig Shoemaker said. “I thought Devonte Fletcher’s play was key.” Parker and Fletcher complemented Wise’s superb play from the perimeter with a bruising inside game. Parker had 14 points and Fletcher finished with nine. Andrews cut into a 29-20 halftime lead for the Tigers (2-5) with a solid shooting display in the third quarter. Ragsdale, meanwhile, turned to its point guard to score points until the Raiders’ hot streak subsided. Andrews (2-3) was able to force several Tiger turnovers with an intense full-

court press, but Wise penetrated the Raider traps in the second half and helped to maintain his team’s composure down the stretch as Andrews. “It was just one of those nights,” Raiders coach James Abell said. “We bothered them a little bit with the press, but we didn’t capitalize. I thought it was just one of those things where we didn’t make many shots. We missed some wide-open layups.” Darius Rogers had 14 for Andrews, which narrowed the score to 51-47 with 2:30 remaining, but could not complete the rally.

TOPS ON TV

HIT AND RUN he national college football spotlight rarely shines on Missoula, Montana. This Big Sky town seems better suited for rodeos and wild-west shows. But today at 4 p.m. (ESPN), Missoula serves as the center of the FCS playoff universe. Appalachian State (11-2) battles Montana (13-0) in an FCS semifinal. The winner punches its ticket to Chattanooga for the national title game on Dec. 18. Expect a classic confrontation. The Griz-

WHO’S NEWS

zlies staged one of the most amazing comebacks in sports history to win their postseason opener. Montana trailed San Diego State 41-14 in the third quarter before closing with a 47-7 surge to bury the Jackrabbits. That’s a 47-7 football run, not basketball. Last week, Montana rolled to a 51-0 victory over Stephen F. Austin. The Mountaineers, by contrast, took a pair of playoff nailbiters to reach this point. Appalachian slipped past S.C. State 20-13, then

edged defending national champion Richmond 35-31 in round two. Both of today’s participants boast a proud football tradition. The Grizzlies claimed national crowns in 1995 and 2001, while the Mountaineers took three straight FCS titles from 2005-2007. Look for a high-scoring shootout. My prediction? The team that gets the ball last wins.

Tiger girls pull away from Raiders BY DANIEL KENNEDY SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

HIGH POINT â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A slowdeveloping first half at T. Wingate Andrews on Friday night produced a 17-16 advantage for the Red Raiders. The second half generated a different outcome entirely as the Tigersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; frontcourt took control and Ragsdale cruised to a 45-30 win. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We did a good job in the

first half,â&#x20AC;? Andrews coach Weaver Walden said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We played well, executed the zone. The third quarter â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where they started to pull away. The lead just kind of got away from us.â&#x20AC;? The Tigers thoroughly dominated the boards and matched their scoring output from the first two quarters combined by romping 17-4 in the third period. Ciara Jackson paced the Tigers with

14 points and did a nice job controlling the paint, teaming with Lindsay Lee to thwart Andrewsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; comeback attempt. Lee had six points. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re dealing with a lot of unknowns in terms of depth,â&#x20AC;? Tigers coach Jerry Fuqua said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The starters are pretty good, especially at the four and five. Lindsay Lee is something else. It comes as a surprise to some teams (how good she is).â&#x20AC;?

Ragsdale was able to thing I have to expect overcome the play of from a young team.â&#x20AC;? Elaina Skarote and Bria Byrd, who led the Raiders with 12 points and 11, respectively. Despite an inspired effort and the knack for finding loose balls, Andrews was unable to overcome sloppy play and the formidable Tiger frontline. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re dealing with a lot of turnovers,â&#x20AC;? Walden added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s some-

Deacs fall in OT

CARY (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Brian Ownby knew he wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play long, so he made his playing time count. Ownby entered the game late in the second half and scored in the third minute of overtime, helping Virginia defeat Wake Forest 2-1 on Friday in the NCAA Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s College Cup semifinals.

Champs to chumps PITTSBURGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; For the Pittsburgh Steelers, the worst collapse in NFL history by a reigning Super Bowl champion is as maddening as it is saddening. Barely a month ago, the Steelers were 6-2 after winning five in a row â&#x20AC;&#x201C; beating the Chargers, Vikings and Broncos â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and were well positioned not only to win the AFC North, but to take another run at the Super Bowl. Ben Roethlisberger was enjoying a career year statistically, the defense was as nasty as ever and the Steelers had the look and attitude of a champion. Then, somehow, it all got away from them. Blame it on Troy Polamalu and Aaron Smith getting hurt. Blame it on a delayed Super Bowl hangover, blame it on overconfidence, blame it on a lack of preparation, blame it on an inability to close out close games. Right now, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a whole lot of blame to go around. For the Steelers (6-7), finding the words to explain a five-game losing streak that has wrecked their hopes of repeating as Super Bowl

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (7) is sacked for a loss by Cleveland Browns defensive end Marcus Benard in the second quarter of Thursday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game in Cleveland. champions is proving as difficult as covering a kick return. To Hines Ward, the collapse is â&#x20AC;&#x153;embarrassing.â&#x20AC;? To Roethlisberger, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;disappointing.â&#x20AC;? Ryan Clark calls it â&#x20AC;&#x153;despicable, sad.â&#x20AC;? Most of the Steelers call it baffling, because none of them saw it coming. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re better than that,â&#x20AC;? Ward said following the Steelersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 13-6 loss in Cleveland on Thursday night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We should play better than that. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pinpoint why we are losing. We all have a hand in it.â&#x20AC;? Only one other Super Bowl champ lost five in a row the following sea-

son, and the 1987 Giants deserve an asterisk because they used replacement players during part of that strike-interrupted season. This season, Pittsburghâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s losses to the Browns (1-11 at the time), the Chiefs (2-7 at the time) and Raiders (3-8 at the time) rank as three of the biggest upsets in the NFL all year. The Browns were last in the NFL in total defense and were playing without five injured starters â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in essence, they were using their replacement team â&#x20AC;&#x201C; yet they held the Steelers without a touchdown and sacked Roethlisberger eight times.

Panthers turn to Moore against Patriots CHARLOTTE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Matt Moore will make his second straight start for the Carolina Panthers on Sunday at New England after Jake Delhomme was declared out for the game. Delhomme missed his third straight day of practice Friday with a broken right finger and Panthers coach John Fox said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still difficult for the 11-year veter-

an to get a grip on the football. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s day-to-day and right now heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not able to do it,â&#x20AC;? Fox said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll go with our quarterbacks who are healthy enough to do it.â&#x20AC;? Moore started his first game since 2007 last week and led the Panthers to a 16-6 win over Tampa Bay, completing 14-of-20 passes for 161 yards with one interception and no touchdowns.

Army needs win vs. Navy for bowl PHILADELPHIA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Army wants a promotion. The Black Knights are tired of ending their season against Navy. Army wants to keep playing and get stationed in a bowl game. The orders are clear. Beat Navy today in the 110th meeting of the annual rivalry and the Black Knights (5-6) will play Temple in the EagleBank Bowl at RFK Stadium in Washington on Dec. 29. Armyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s season is over with a loss. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We get to play one more game and we get to do what we want to do, playing a game late in the season that has bowl implications,â&#x20AC;? Army coach

Rich Ellerson said. The Black Knights have been out of the bowl mix since 1996 and not recently considered a threat to beat Navy (8-4). The Midshipmen have turned the passionate series into a lopsided affair â&#x20AC;&#x201C; seven straight wins by a 274-71 margin. Navy is 53-49-7 overall against Army for its biggest lead in a series that began in 1890. Navyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seniors can extend a few more streaks with a win. The Midshipmen would clinch a record seventh straight Commander-In-Chiefâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trophy. Navy has won a service academy-record 14 consecutive games against Army and Air Force.

Moore faces a New England team that is 6-0 at home this year and 243 in December since 2003. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hey itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all tough,â&#x20AC;? Fox said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Matt, the advantage he has is heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been with us for awhile now.â&#x20AC;? The Panthers will be without defensive end Tyler Brayton, who has a concussion which means they will start a different lineup on defense for the 13th consecutive week.

Heisman gets defensive NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; With one brilliant display of brute force, Ndamukong Suh altered the Heisman Trophy race like no other player this season. In fact, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doubtful that any one performance by one player has ever done more to determine who wins college footballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most prestigious award. The Nebraska defensive tackle in one night went from Heisman dark horse to fast-finishing finalist and might have shaken the big bronze statue loose from Colt McCoyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grasp as he was tossing the Texas QB around Cowboys Stadium. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any idea what my (Heisman) chances were (going into the game),â&#x20AC;? Suh said Friday after checking into a midtown Manhattan hotel with his parents and

sister. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My focus was to go out there and play as hard as I can to win that Big 12 championship and go to the Fiesta Bowl.â&#x20AC;? Suh might not win the Heisman when it is handed out tonight, but the guy who does should probably thank him. McCoy, despite the pounding he took from Suh and the Cornhuskers in a 13-12 victory in the Big 12 title game, is also a Heisman finalist, along with running backs Toby Gerhart from Stanford and Mark Ingram from Alabama, and Florida QB Tim Tebow. Suh probably has a better chance at becoming the first defensive lineman, and just the second defensive player, to win the Heisman than Tebow has to become the second player to win No. 2.

MISSOULA, Mont. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The two most successful Football Championship Subdivision teams this past decade meet in a semifinal game today. Appalachian State, a three-time national champion with a 101-32 record since 2000, plays at Montana, which has a 118-12 record and the 2001 national title to go with three runner-up finishes since 2000. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I told our team I thought it will be the biggest game in the history of our stadium, and it certainly has a chance to be the toughest ticket of all time,â&#x20AC;? said Montana coach Bobby Hauck. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has a chance to be the largest crowd in stadium history. Nationally televised, it should be a lot of fun.â&#x20AC;? The game kicks off at 2 p.m. and is on ESPN. William & Mary (11-2) and Villanova (12-1) met in the other semifinal late Friday. Montana (13-0) is trying to advance to the national title game in Chattanooga, Tenn., for the second straight year while Appalachian State (11-2) is looking for its fourth appearance in five years. The Mountaineers are led by defending Walter Payton Award winner Armanti Edwards, who led the team to its second and third national titles in 2006 and 2007. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last year he was the best player in the country, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a finalist this year,â&#x20AC;? said Griz defensive tackle Austin Mullins. Edwards has passed for 2,938 yards and 12 touchdowns this season and

rushed for 625 yards and 18 scores. His top two receivers are Matt Cline (880 yards, two TDs) and Brian Quick (847 yards, four TDs). Devon Moore has rushed for 1,290 yards and 17 touchdowns. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a gifted group,â&#x20AC;? Hauck said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have our hands full with these guys. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any illusions about that.â&#x20AC;? Montana quarterback Andrew Selle has passed for 2,531 yards and 24 touchdowns while backup Justin Roper has 951 yards passing and eight more scores. Marc Mariani is the leading receiver with 1,262 yards and 12 touchdowns. Chase Reynolds leads the Griz ground game with 1,245 yards rushing and 20 scores. Both teams have used some comebacks to advance in the postseason. Last week, Appalachian State trailed defending national champion Richmond 31-28 with 3:26 left. Armanti led the Mountaineers on a 70yard drive, capped by the game-winning 4-yard touchdown pass to Cline with 10 seconds left. Montana has scored 91 straight points in the playoffs, after rallying from a 48-21 third-quarter deficit against South Dakota State to win the opening round game 61-48. Montana forced 10 turnovers in its 51-0 quarterfinal win over Stephen F. Austin, the top scoring offense in the FCS until they played the Grizzlies. Montana now leads the nation in scoring with nearly 38 points per game while App State is seventh with 34.5 points per game.

Charlotte football a go CHARLOTTE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The University of North Carolina at Charlotte will get a football team after trustees agreed Friday to move ahead with plans for a program and stadium in time for the 2013 season. With Chancellor Philip Dubois saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;the time is never going to be better,â&#x20AC;? trustees unanimously approved the plan that would provide $40.5 million in funding to build a permanent stadium and field house, and to seek state approval for a student fee increase to fund the project. The stadium will begin with 15,000 seats and be expandable to up to 40,000 seats. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;bite the bulletâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; option,â&#x20AC;? Dubois said during the 40-minute session to consider the proposals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This basically

says that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to build the stadium complex, with all the associated costs that we considered with Plan A ... and get football off the ground on the original timetable.â&#x20AC;? Also still to be decided is the conference affiliation for Charlotteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team. Athletics director Judy Rose said Friday that she had been in touch with officials from the Colonial League, a football-only conference. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been working on the affiliation throughout all this ... but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re behind the 8-ball as far as scheduling for 2013,â&#x20AC;? said said. Rose said that if things proceed as expected, she will hire a coaching staff by 2011 and bring in the first class of recruits â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who will be redshirt freshmen â&#x20AC;&#x201C; by 2012.

Busch buys Truck team

Court rejects Kentucky suit against NASCAR LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A federal appeals court on Friday rejected claims by a Kentucky race track that NASCAR and International Speedway Corp. violated federal antitrust laws by keeping it off the premier racing circuit. The decision by a three-judge panel from the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals ends, for now, Kentucky Speedwayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legal efforts to force NASCAR to bring a Sprint Cup race to the track in Sparta, in northern Kentucky. The panel said Kentucky Speedway failed to prove NASCAR and International Speedway Corp., worked together with other tracks to keep the Kentucky track from getting a Sprint Cup race. NASCAR spokesman Ramsey Poston said NASCAR is pleased the court treated auto racing like other sports and acknowledged itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right to choose where and when

to hold events. Poston said the 2010 racing schedule is set. Kentucky Speedway is not included in the Sprint Cup schedule. â&#x20AC;&#x153;However, we are happy to discuss alternatives with the track owners for 2011 and beyond as they relate to NASCARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s realignment plans,â&#x20AC;? Poston said. Jerry Carroll, a member of the joint ownership group that founded the track over a decade ago, seemed resigned to the ruling. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve carried it out,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We still think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re right but the judges have talked and made their decision.â&#x20AC;? Carroll said the former owners will meet next week to review their legal options but hinted heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anxious for the saga to end. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a mental load and a load that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve carried, a stepchild kind of deal that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not used to,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m ready to wrap it up and let the chips fall.â&#x20AC;?

In this June 18, 2005, photo, former Kentucky Speedway owner Jerry Carroll looks over the track prior to the start of the a 300-mile NASCAR Nationwide Series race. A federal appeals court on Friday rejected claims by the track that NASCAR and International Speedway Corp. violated federal antitrust laws by denying the track Cup Series races. Carroll sold the track to Speedway Motorsports in 2008. Carroll said he remains optimistic the track will finally land a coveted Cup date in 2011. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main goal is we fulfill our dream and bring a Cup race to the state of Kentucky,â&#x20AC;? he said. The ownership group sold the track to Speedway Motorsports Inc. last year. SMI owner Bruton Smith tried to convince the former owners to drop the lawsuit, claiming it was the biggest obstacle in the way of the track getting a Cup date. Smith did little to hide his pleasure with the courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is an early Christmas present,â&#x20AC;? Smith said. With the case now apparently resolved, Smith said plans are moving forward to help secure a Cup race in 2011. He said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll ask NASCAR for a date or â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a more likely scenario â&#x20AC;&#x201D; will purchase a date from another track and move it to Kentucky. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We question (Kentucky Speedwayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s) allegation that NASCARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s refusal to grant (Kentucky Speedway) a Sprint Cup race constitutes an antitrust injury because there are many considerations relevant to the quintessen-

tial business judgment of whether expanding the Sprint Cup to northern Kentucky makes economic sense in developing the NASCAR brand on a national basis,â&#x20AC;? Judge Ronald Lee Gilman wrote for the court. Judges Jerome Farris and Deborah Cook joined Gilmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opinion. Kentucky Speedway alleged that NASCAR had conspired to leave the Sparta track and others out of the Sprint Cup â&#x20AC;&#x201D; formerly known as the Nextel Cup â&#x20AC;&#x201D; series despite their superior amenities.

CHARLOTTE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Kyle Busch is entering team ownership with two entries next season in NASCARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Camping World Truck Series. Kyle Busch Motorsports will field the No. 18 Toyota that Busch is to drive in companion races to the Sprint Cup Series. Brian Ickler will drive the truck when Busch has other obligations. Tyler Malsam will run the full season in the second entry, the No. 56 Toyota.

Two die in boat crash DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Two competitors have died in a world championship powerboat race in Dubai after a highspeed crash. The two killed Friday were driver Mohammed Majid Al Muhairi of United Arab Emirates and throttleman Jean-Marc Sanchez of France. They lost control of their boat, Victory 1, which flipped and landed upside down.

Braves deal Soriano to Rays ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Tampa Bay Rays completed a trade with the Atlanta Braves on Friday, acquiring right-handed pitcher Rafael Soriano and agreeing to a $7.25 million, one-year contract with the reliever. The deal sent righthander Jesse Chavez to the Braves, who werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t willing to give Soriano a long-term contract and recently signed free agent relievers Billy Wagner

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had our eyes on different guys, but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think any that make us feel as confident about our bullpen heading into the season as we do now,â&#x20AC;? said Andrew Friedman, the Raysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; executive vice president of baseball operations. The last thing Friedman expected when he headed to this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s winter meetings was to get a reliever whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll cost the budget-conscious Rays so much money.

White Sox reach deal with Putz

CHICAGO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Reliever J.J. Putz agreed Friday to a one-year, $3 million contract with the Chicago White Sox and will fill a setup role in the bullpen. Putz is 23-19 with a 3.24 ERA and 103 saves in 337 relief appearances

over seven major-league seasons with Seattle and the New York Mets. He was 1-4 with a 5.22 ERA with the Mets last season in 29 appearances before undergoing arthroscopic surgery to remove a bone spur in his right elbow on June

9, causing him to miss the remainder of the season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been monitoring him ever since the season ended and his daily workouts weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very familiar with,â&#x20AC;? White Sox general manager Ken Williams said.

New Orleans begins drop to Division III BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The LSU Board of Supervisors is letting the University of New Orleans notify the Sun Belt Conference that it intends to withdraw. The move is the first step for UNOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s athletics

department to drop its NCAA Division I program to Division III. University Chancellor Tim Ryan says the school has seen declining attendance and shrinking revenue since Hurricane Katrina. He also cites

the costs to maintain the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s status in Division I. The LSU board needs to approve the move to Division III before UNO can make the switch. A decision will be made by May.

and Takashi Saito. The Rays were searching for bullpen help after the lack of a proven closer contributed to the 2008 AL champions not failing to reach the playoffs. With several pitchers sharing the role, Tampa Bay wound up with 22 blown saves â&#x20AC;&#x201D; eighth most in the major leagues.

Treasurys drop after retail jump NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Treasurys declined Friday for a third day following the latest sign of economic recovery â&#x20AC;&#x201D; unexpectedly strong growth in November retail sales. The price of the 10-year note, which is often used as a guide for interest rates on consumer loans, fell 13/32 to 98 17/32, sending its yield up to 3.55 percent from 3.50 percent late Thursday.

Start-up airline Virgin narrows loss DALLAS â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Virgin America Inc. reported a narrower loss for the third quarter, and the CEO said the airline will add planes and service to a new city â&#x20AC;&#x201D; most likely Chicago. The two-year-old airline reported Friday that it lost $5.9 million in the third quarter, compared with a loss of $59.1 million a year earlier. Revenue climbed 38 percent, to $157.9 million. The carrier said traffic rose 45 percent while passenger-carrying capacity increased by 37 percent, meaning planes were fuller than in last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third quarter.

GM delays European restructuring plan FRANKFURT â&#x20AC;&#x201C; General Motors Co.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s restructuring plan for its Opel and Vauxhall operations likely will be delayed until January, the car makerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top European executive says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is not a broken promise, it is a pledge to do something right,â&#x20AC;? GM Europe chief executive Nick Reilly wrote on an official blog.

Oil below $70, 1st time since October NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A ninemonth rally in oil prices could be faltering as a gradual sell-off that began in late October gains momentum. Crude prices, which doubled from March to October, declined Friday for the eighth day in a row, settling at $69.87 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

House OKs Wall Street overhaul WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A year after Wall Street failures plunged the nation into recession, the House on Friday passed the most ambitious restructuring of financial regulation since the New Deal. The sprawling legislation gives the government new powers to break up companies that threaten the economy, creates a new agency to oversee

consumer banking transactions and shines a light into shadow financial markets that have escaped the oversight of regulators. The vote was a partyline 223-202. No Republicans voted for the bill; 27 Democrats voted against it. While a victory for the Obama administration, the legislation dilutes some of the presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recommendations, carv-

ing out exceptions to some of its toughest provision. The burden now shifts to the Senate, which is not expected to act on its version of a regulatory overhaul until early next year. The legislation would govern the simplest payday loan and the most complicated high-finance trades. In its breadth, the measure seeks to impose restrictions on every

house of finance, from two-teller neighborhood thrifts to huge interconnected conglomerates. Democratic leaders had to fend off a last-minute attempt to kill a proposed consumer agency, a central element of the legislation and one the features pushed by President Barack Obama. The agency would strip consumer protection powers from current banking regula-

SEC widens bank deal probe WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Securities and Exchange Commission has expanded its probe of Bank of America to include the bankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible failure to disclose mounting losses at Merrill Lynch, a top agency official said Friday. The SEC has been pursuing civil charges against Bank of America over the failed disclosure to shareholders of bonuses to Merrill employees after it was acquired by the secondlargest U.S. bank. But when Ohio Democratic Rep. Dennis Kucinich asked at a hearing whether the agency has widened its investigation to include the disclosure of losses at Merrill, SEC Enforcement Director Robert Khuzami said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a yes.â&#x20AC;? The SEC has been â&#x20AC;&#x153;and (is) looking at all aspectsâ&#x20AC;? related to Bank of Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disclosures to shareholders before the merger was approved last December, Khuzami said. The agency â&#x20AC;&#x153;will continue to vigorously pursue our charges against Bank of America and take all FILE | AP necessary steps in an effort to prove our case in court,â&#x20AC;? A New York Bank of America branch office is shown in a reflection in this January photo. he said.

tors, and big banks and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce vigorously opposed the idea. Democrats said the legislation would help address the shortfalls that led to last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s calamitous financial crisis. Republicans argued that the regulations would overreach and would institutionalize bailouts for the financial industry.

Treasury gets cash for Morgan warrants WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Treasury Department has received $936.1 million in the sale of warrants it had received from JPMorgan Chase & Co. as part of the support it provided the bank during last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s financial crisis. The Treasury on Friday said it sold more than 88.4 million warrants in an auction Thursday at a price of $10.75 each. Warrants are financial instruments that allows the holder to buy stock in the future at a fixed price. The conversion price for the JPMorgan warrants is $42.42 per share. Once the bankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stock hits that price, the warrants can be converted into stock worth $3.75 billion. JPMorgan had received $25 billion in support from the bailout fund in October 2008 and paid that money back in June. The sale of the 88.4 million warrants was the bankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s remaining tie to the bailout fund.

Procter & Gamble buys Sara Lee business DOWNERS GROVE, Ill. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Procter & Gamble Co. is buying Sara Lee Inc.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ambi Pur air freshener business for $320 million euros, or $470 million. The deal adds strength for consumer-products giant P&G in Europe and will

complement its Febreze line of deodorizers, which is sold mainly in the North America. Sara Lee of Downers Grove, Ill. is selling the unit to focus on its main business as a food maker. Sara Lee said the air-freshener business generated annual

sales of $355 million in fiscal 2009. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The proposed sale of our air care business is the next step in our plan to focus on our core food and beverage businesses, where we have a strong competitive position and can generate superior shareholder returns,â&#x20AC;?

said Brenda C. Barnes, CEO of Sara Lee. Analysts see the deal as a smart move for the food maker, which has lagged behind some of its competitors â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in part because of a broad product lineup that some say has kept it from leading in any one area.

Several analysts said it is an attractive deal. Tim Ramey, analyst for D.A. Davidson, said the only remaining hurdle is if Sara Lee is able to sell the remaining part of its household business, which includes insecticide and shoe polish, at the same level of value.

INDEX

Stronger retail sales, mood boost stocks NEW YORK (AP) – Stocks mostly rose Friday on signs that consumers and businesses are feeling more confident about the economy. The Commerce Department said retail sales rose 1.3 percent in November, more than double the increase analysts had expected and better than the 1.1 percent rise in October. The report boosted hopes that consumers are starting to feel more comfortable opening their wallets after months of building up their savings. A recovery in consumer spending, a major component of U.S. economic activity, is seen as one of the key elements to sustained growth. A separate report showing an increase in consumer confidence signaled that spending could continue to rise. The preliminary Reuters/ University of Michigan consumer sentiment index increased more than expected in December. In another welcome sign, the Commerce De-

partment reported a 0.2 percent gain in business inventories in October, breaking a 13-month streak of declines. That’s a signal that businesses expect consumers to step up their purchases. Outside the U.S., news that China’s exports improved last month provided more evidence that the global economy is recovering. Chinese exports posted their smallest drop in exports in a year last month, just 1.2 percent, following a 13.8 percent plunge in October. Retail sales and industrial production grew. “We’re going from the first global recession in 70 years to a tepid, but very real global growth story,” he said. According to preliminary calculations, the Dow Jones industrial average rose 65.67, or 0.6 percent, to 10,471.50. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index gained 4.06, or 0.4 percent, to 1,106.41, while the Nasdaq composite index slipped 0.55, or less than 0.1 percent, to 2,190.31.

A worker installs doors at The Liquid Bar on the Boardwalk at the Trump Plaza Hotel & Casino in Atlantic City, N.J., in 2006. Billionaire investor Carl C. Icahn said Friday he has agreed to buy a majority of the first-lien bank debt of Trump Entertainment Resorts Holdings, which owns three resorts in Atlantic City. Bank will work together to complete a plan of reorganization presented to the bankruptcy court for approval. Beal said Icahn was contacted for his extensive experience in the gaming industry and turning around troubled companies. “We think that this team now has all of the tools necessary to quickly and successfully emerge from bankruptcy and rebuild a

best-in-class operation,” Beal said in a statement. Icahn has restructured troubled gaming companies before. He combined several bankrupt casinos to form American Casino & Entertainment, which was sold in 2008 for more than a $1 billion profit, he said in a statement.

Icahn buys portion of Trump’s casino debt DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – Billionaire investor Carl C. Icahn said Friday he has agreed to buy a majority of the first-lien bank debt of Trump Entertainment Resorts Holdings, which owns three resorts in Atlantic City, N.J. The deal is part of a bankruptcy reorganization plan Icahn negotiated to help the troubled casino company emerge from bankruptcy. Trump Entertainment filed for bankruptcy protection in February, the third such filing for the company or its corporate predecessors. The company owns Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort, Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino, and Trump Marina Hotel Casino. The deal was negotiated with Beal Bank and Beal Bank Nevada, which are headed by Donald Trump’s friend Andy Beal. Icahn said the plan offers the casino company the ability to weather current economic turmoil with no debt. Details of the transaction were not released, and Icahn said in a telephone interview he didn’t want to release the amount of money he paid. Icahn said he and Beal

Fontainebleau Las Vegas. “I believe that, while Trump’s operations in Atlantic City have potential, the economic uncertainty, changing competitive landscape, and Trump’s two bankruptcies in five years demands a measured and conservative approach, including minimizing both outstanding debt and the likelihood of a third bankruptcy,” Icahn said.

Economic news raises hopes for global recovery WASHINGTON (AP) – Signs of a strengthening global recovery emerged Friday, with consumers boosting retail sales, companies restoring stockpiles and Chinese exports mounting a comeback. The reports heightened hopes that consumers are starting to feel more comfortable about opening their wallets after months of building savings and reducing debt. Consumer spending, which drives most U.S. economic activity, is vital to a sustained rebound. The encouraging retail sales report for November was a surprise. U.S. retailers have been reporting generally lackluster results for the start of the holiday shopping season. But sales rose 1.3 percent last month, after a 1.1 percent October gain, the Commerce Department said. It was the healthiest advance since August. And it was

more than double the increase economists had expected. Excluding autos, retail sales rose 1.2 percent – triple the expected gain. A 6 percent surge in sales at service stations, partly reflecting higher gasoline prices, led the overall gain. But even excluding that jump, retail sales posted a solid 0.8 percent rise in November. Most economists have worried that high unemployment would depress spending and drag on the economy as it struggles to emerge from the worst recession since the 1930s. “The labor market is showing signs of stabilization, and this is giving consumers greater confidence to spend a little more than they were earlier this year,” said Chris Rupkey, chief financial economist at Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi in New York.

2010 Acura ZDX is more than distinctive BY ANN M. JOB THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

2010 ACURA ZDX

–

What’s more important – looks or practicality? Its a natural question for shoppers considering Acuras newest sport utility vehicle, the ZDX. The new-for-2010 ZDX pushes the styling envelope with a sleek, coupelike body that rides high above the pavement, SUVstyle. But the tradeoffs include compromised visibility out the back and lengthy front doors that can bang into adjacent cars in parking lots when passengers try to exit the vehicle. The ZDX, arriving in showrooms Dec. 15, comes with the most modernly luxurious interior of any Acura, including handsome, closed-loop carpeting and hand-applied leather strips on the dashboard. But back seat room is surprisingly cramped, and the ZDX roofline can cause some passengers to bump their heads as they enter. With a starting manufacturers suggested retail price, including destination charge, of $46,305, the ZDX is $1,335 less than the base price of Acuras most expensive vehicle in base form, the RL sedan. But where the RLs top

BASE PRICE: $45,495 for base model; $49,995 for ZDX with Technology Package; $56,045 for ZDX with Advance Package AS TESTED: $56,855 TYPE: Front-engine, all-wheel drive, fivepassenger, luxury sport utility vehicle ENGINE: 3.7-liter single overhead cam V-6 with VTEC MILEAGE: Estimated 16 mpg (city), 22 mpg (highway) TOP SPEED: 130 mph LENGTH: 192.4 inches WHEELBASE: 108.3 inches CURB WEIGHT: 4,462 pounds BUILT AT: Alliston, Ontario, Canada OPTIONS: None

The 2010 Acura ZDX pushes the styling envelope with a sleek, coupe-like body that rides high above the pavement. model has a retail price of $55,060, the top ZDX, which was the test model, is $56,855. Such lofty pricing puts the five-seat ZDX, which comes standard with a 300-horsepower V-6, automatic transmission, leather-trimmed seats and all-wheel drive, in the company of other highbrow luxury SUVs. The 300-horsepower, 2010 BMW X6, for exam-

ple, has a starting retail price, including destination charge, of $57,125. Meantime, the 2010 Infiniti FX35 with 303-horsepower V-6 starts at $43,265. Acura officials reportedly only expect some 6,000 ZDX sales annually, which would make it the second-lowest-volume Acura after the RL, based on calendar 2008 sales results. Despite its looks, this

newest Acura uses some familiar Acura parts. The ZDX rides on the platform thats used by the eightpassenger Acura MDX, and the ZDX is powered by the 3.7-liter, single overhead cam V-6 thats in the MDX. The two SUVs, as well as the Acura RL, use the companys Super Handling all-wheel drive system that can distribute engine torque between

front and rear wheels as well as between rightside and left-side wheels. The ZDX weighs almost as much as the MDX, too – 4,424 pounds for the base ZDX, compared with the base MDXs 4,550 pounds. And yet, the ZDX is less of an SUV. It can tow just 1,500 pounds, maximum, which is as much as the lighter-weight Honda CRV with four-cylinder engine. In contrast, the MDX

has a towing capacity of 5,000 pounds. The ZDX cargo capacity, even with the secondrow seats folded down, is just 55.8 cubic feet. This compares with the nearly 60 cubic feet in BMWs X6 and the 62 cubic feet in Infinitis FX35. The test ZDX was comfortable, though still let in some road bumps, when its suspension was set on “comfort” mode.
