Unilin request up for debate

CHRISTMAS IN BLOOM: Holiday flower in plentiful supply.

BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

THOMASVILLE – The Thomasville City Council next week is expected to consider waiving Unilin Flooring’s minimum job creation clause for 2010 in the company’s 10-year economic development contract with the city. Before making a decision on the waiver, the City Council will hold a public hearing on Unilin Flooring’s request inside the City Council Chambers at the Thomasville Police Department at 7 p.m. Monday. In September, Kristen Lauten, Unilin Flooring director of manufacturing finance, sent notification to the city of Thomasville that the company has not met its goal for job creation. In the memo to Thomasville officials, she said Unilin Flooring has had to reduce its staff to manage costs in the economic downturn, citing the company had been hit hard because flooring is tied closely to residential construction and remodeling. “When we broke ground on this plant in 2004, we had planned to

The Unilin Flooring plant is seen off N.C. 62. have almost 400 employees by this time and be well into the execution of our Phase 3 expansion,” Lauten wrote in the memo. “The reality is that we will employ approximately half that number at year end 2009. ... Despite the economic challenges, we are still on track to have invested $80 million at this campus by the end of 2009 as we originally planned.” In 2004, the city of Thomasville, Davidson County and the state of North Carolina agreed to a total of $14 million in incentives for Unilin Flooring to locate in Thomasville, where officials have said the

city has paid out economic incentive grants to Unilin Flooring in 2007, 2008 and 2009, with the last payment being $236,163.14. Councilmen Raleigh York Jr. and David Yemm said Unilin Flooring officials are looking to take advantage of a new incentives policy the City Council recently approved. The policy allows the City Council to waive the minimum job creation clause for any business that invests $50,000 when the county’s unemployment rate has been at or above 10 percent in the last six months.

If the City Council decides to waive the minimum job creation clause, Yemm and York said the City Council likely will give a percentage of the incentives package based on the number of jobs Unilin Flooring has created. “If their goal was a certain number, and if they only met 65 percent of it, then they only get 65 percent of the incentive on that,” Yemm said. “If they only met 50 percent of the incentive, they only get 50 percent of the incentive. It’s kind of on a sliding scale.” dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

Post offices remain on potential closings list BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – Two local post offices remain on a list of potential closings from the U.S. Postal Service after more than half of the locations were removed from the list on Monday. The Furnitureland office in High Point at 913 W. Fairfield Road and the Greensboro Plaza Station at 1852 Banking St. are included in the updated list of about 170 post offices that could close. The list contained more than 400 candidates nationwide for consolidation, including 12 in the North Carolina, when it was first released

Jerry Ledwell has had a post office box at the Furnitureland post office for 20 years. With his business nearby, he is not happy about the possible closure of the branch. in September. Five post office locations in the state remain on the list, including one in Raleigh and two in Charlotte.

“This means that these post offices still on the list right now are still under consideration for consolidation,” said Carl

Walton, spokesman for the Postal Service in the Triad. “The idea is to see if it’s feasible to consolidate those offices into another operation.” A Winston-Salem post office at 200 Town Run Lane no longer is on the list after it was included in September. Murdoch McMillan, retail supervisor for the High Point post office locations, said questionnaires had been sent to customers regarding their use of the Furnitureland office, and leaders from the community had written letters in support of the office to the Postal Service. He said those pieces of informa-

tion have been sent to the Postal Service. “Whatever they decide is what will happen,” he said about Postal Service officials. “It is not a decision that will be made locally.” Walton said if the offices closed, those employees would be moved to other locations. He said the updated list was released by the Postal Service unexpectedly, and further action could be taken any time in the coming year. The Postal Service reported a $3.8 billion loss at the end of its 2009 fiscal year in October. phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

Forbidden City furniture show moves to China BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – The Forbidden City furniture show will bid farewell to High Point next year, organizers said Tuesday. Lifestyles Enterprises Inc. will move the invitation-only furniture event, which has been held in January in High Point since 2006, to Beijing at an undetermined date in 2010, according to company officials. The company still is searching for a venue in Beijing, but it said the show will span about four days and could be larger and more exciting when held in China. “It’s something that has been

up in the air for the last couple of years,” said James Riddle, president and CEO of the case goods and upholstery resource. “We have so many major accounts in the U.S. that go to China on a regular basis. We just felt that if we were going to have the show, we would have it there rather than here.” Riddle said the company had downsized the show in High Point, which brought 600 attendees to the city in January 2009 with an economic impact of $234,000, according to the High Point Convention and Visitor’s Bureau. He said the show’s focus had shifted to the company’s top 100 accounts. Lifestyles Enterprises Inc. also

pays some expenses for guests who attend the event, such as airfare. The company will continue to focus on major accounts and accommodate guests when the show takes place in Beijing, he said. “There’s no question it would be cheaper to fly guests to High Point. But there’s an excitement about going to China that doesn’t exist with going to High Point,” Riddle said. He said the company, headquartered in High Point, still is dedicated to the High Point Market and has plans to expand its showroom at 320 E. Commerce Ave, where the Forbidden City show took place. phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

Thomasville teen charged with sex abuse 2nd time this month BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

DAVIDSON COUNTY – A Davidson County man faces his second sexual-assault charge in the past month after an investigation by sheriff’s detectives. On Dec. 2, deputies took a report regarding an alleged assault of a juvenile who was 12 at the time of the

crime. After investigating, detectives charged Jason Cecil-McKay Snyder with inappropriately touching the child in a sexual manner in one instance some time between Dec. 1, 2008, and Dec. 31, 2008, according to the sheriff’s office. Snyder, 18, of Thomasville, was arrested on Monday and charged with one misdemeanor count

of sexual battery, deputies said. He was released from custody after a magistrate issued an unsecured bond. Snyder has an appearance on the charge in Davidson County District Court scheduled for Jan. 11. It was Snyder’s second arrest in recent weeks at the hands of the sheriff’s office. Deputies arrested him on Nov. 20 and charged

him with one count of second-degree rape, one count of assault on a female and one count of misdemeanor sexual battery in connection with an incident last month, according to the sheriff’s office. He was released from custody after posting a $50,000 bond on those charges. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

HIGH POINT – The High Point Planning and Zoning Commission is about 40 percent complete in hearing the Technical Review Committee’s street abandonment cases, the panel reported at the commission’s meeting Tuesday. The city began identifying 275 rights of way throughout High Point two years ago with the idea that those which were deemed eligible to abandon would be identified and brought before the commission for action. Robert Robbins, development services administrator, told the commission it would take about three more years to complete the project. “We’ve been working through this paper maze of streets for about two years now,” Robbins told the commission. “Expect to see three to four cases on average a couple of times a year (at commission meetings).”

Robbins said 72 rightof-way cases had yet to be brought to the commission. The commission favorably recommended the abandonment of three more rights of way at its meeting Tuesday night. It considered 25 street abandonment cases in 2009. The commission also approved a request by Shadybrook Partners to increase the allowed number of units on a 33-acre parcel at the northeast corner of Deep River Road and Willard Road. The land was developed two years ago, but the original builders pulled out due to economic conditions. Shadybrook Partners said it had a new builder that would continue building activity if the commission approved new conditions. The case next will go to City Council. A schedule of commission meetings for 2010 also was released at the meeting and is available online at www.high-point. net/plan.

Mullen: Most of surge troops will arrive by August KABUL (AP) – The top U.S. military officer said Tuesday that he’s confident that most of the 30,000 additional troops that are being sent to Afghanistan will be there by August. Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told reporters traveling with him in Afghanistan that the first 16,000 troops who already have orders will be in on schedule. On Monday, Lt. Gen. David Rodriguez,

the second-highest ranking U.S. general in Afghanistan, said the rapid escalation of American troops would take longer than expected, possibly as long as 11 months. Meanwhile, a suicide car bomber struck Tuesday near the home of a former Afghan vice president and a hotel frequented by Westerners, killing at least eight people and wounding nearly 40 in a neighborhood considered one of Kabul’s safest.

The explosions in Baghdad and Mosul come on the heels of last week’s horrific suicide bombings in the Iraqi capital that killed 127 people and wounded more than 500. Those blasts intensified pressure on Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki to improve security as he heads into key elections early next year.

Upbeat Obama says Senate near health care passage WASHINGTON (AP) – Prodded by President Barack Obama, Senate Democrats won tentative backing from one holdout and worked intensely to satisfy another Tuesday as they grappled with the last, lingering disputes blocking passage of health care legislation by Christmas.

Obama said his congressional allies were “on the precipice� of a historic accomplishment that has eluded presidents and lawmakers for generations, adding the emerging bill includes “all the criteria that I laid out� in a speech to a joint session of Congress earlier in the year.

In the privacy of a presidential meeting, liberals vented their frustration at having to abandon the last vestige of a government-run insurance option in the legislation, a slowmotion concession made over many months, most recently to moderates including Sen. Jo-

along: that I’m ready to vote for health care reform.� That left Sen. Ben Nelson, DNeb., the only known potential holdout among the 60 senators who are members of the party’s caucus, a group that includes 58 Democrats, Lieberman, and Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.

Traffic rolls down Main Street in Thomson, Ill., Tuesday. President Barack Obama ordered the federal government to acquire the state prison to be the new home for a limited number of terror suspects now held at the U.S. detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

Illinois prison to get Guantanamo Bay detainees WASHINGTON (AP) – President Barack Obama has ordered the federal government to acquire an underused state prison in rural Illinois to be the new home for a limited number of terror suspects now held at the U.S. detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The federal government will acquire Thomson Correctional Center in Thomson, Ill., transforming the prison in a sleepy

town near the Mississippi River into a prison that exceeds “supermax standards,� according to a letter to Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn signed by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Defense Secretary Robert Gates, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, Attorney General Eric Holder and Director of National Intelligence Dennis C. Blair. Those departments “will work closely with

state and local law enforcement authorities to identify and mitigate any risks� at the prison, the letter said. The decision is an important step toward closing Guantanamo Bay. Thomson, about 150 miles from Chicago, is expected to house both federal inmates and no more than 100 detainees from Guantanamo Bay. Speaking after a briefing with White House offi-

D.C. City Council votes to legalize gay marriage WASHINGTON (AP) – After suffering setbacks from California to New York, Maine to New Jersey, same-sex marriage supporters got a victory Tuesday with the City Council’s vote to legalize gay marriage in the District of Columbia. Gay couples could begin tying the knot in the district as early as March. The only hurdles left to clear are the city’s mayor, who has promised to sign the bill, and Congress, which has final say over laws in the nation’s capital. The district’s nonvoting delegate to Congress, Eleanor Holmes Norton, said she expects no opposition there. “Make no mistake, 2009 has been one hell of a year for marriage equality,� said David Catania, who introduced the bill and is one of two openly gay council members. Council members said that it was symbolic that the nation’s capital had voted to pass gay marriage.

cials on Tuesday, Illinois Sen. Richard Durbin and Quinn cast the decision to accept Guantanamo detainees as an act of patriotism – one with the added bonus of job creation. “Time and time again the people of Illinois have risen to the task,� Durbin said. “We believe this is in service of our country.�

Seal videotape; spare Smith’s parents more pain I am writing in response to your editorial in Our View last Friday regarding the release of the tape of the Courtland Smith incident. I strongly disagree with your contention that the tape should be released. Regardless of the “public property” argument you put forth, the fact is that nothing is to be gained by releasing the tape, short of satisfying the unfathomable voyeuristic desires of the public, and, presumably, you and your staff. The Smith family has suffered enough, and the young man and the officers involved have suffered enough. If you and/or the public feel the need to satisfy your morbid curiosities further, there is still plenty of the Tiger Woods fiasco on every news channel, newspaper and Web site available 24/7. At least Woods chose to live, and profit from, a public life. The Smiths and their unfortunate son did not make such a choice. The wishes of the Smith family should be honored. They should be left alone, and the young man should be allowed to rest in peace. WILLIAM D. MOORE JR. High Point

The Smith family has suffered enough, and the young man and the officers involved have suffered enough.

Added to this was a delicious breakfast, but the most important thing about the morning was the message given by the Rev. Dr. Kent Millard. I was moved by Millard’s Christian based message. His credentials are impeccable, and what he had to say was spiritually uplifting. I can understand why Millard is the senior pastor of St. Luke’s United Methodist Church in Indianapolis, which serves 6,000 members. He is an evangelist of the first order. He made me want to go out into the community and seek those who are less fortunate than I. Thank you High Point University and Rev. Millard for a morning that was very moving. My soul was blessed on this day. CAROLYN G. KEARNS High Point

Could officer in Smith case have used a Taser instead? I am writing concerning the police shooting of Courtland Smith. I have written before about this matter. I have heard where the officer has been cleared by the district attorney in Randolph County. My question is: Did the SBI take into consideration whether Smith could have been Tasered? I understand that the officer let Smith get within 10 feet before he opened fire. Is 10 feet good enough for a Taser gun to be used? I would like to know if someone with some law enforcement experience could tell me. I heard of an incident in Gaston County, N.C., where the deputy first used a Taser gun but the Taser gun did not work. So the deputy had to use deadly force. I do believe that the suspect was a serial killer. I’m just confused on when a Taser gun should be used or not.

And again I want to say all I have said in the very highest respect to all involved in law enforcement. I also wonder how the folks at UNC-Chapel Hill Delta Kappa fraternity feel about the officer’s actions in this tragedy? What I am getting at is, couldn’t it be possible that a Taser gun be used first and if that did not work, the officer could use his service revolver?

It’s time again for an American Keep moving taxpayers’ revolt on bypass A construction

I

f you love snow, now’s the time of year that hopes for a big storm move to the top of your wish list. But that shouldn’t be your desire this year, if you want a section of the U.S. 311/Interstate 74 bypass to be completed soon. N.C. Department of Transportation officials told the Enterprise last week that work on the 6.4-mile section of the bypass from Interstate 85 Business Loop to Spencer Road in northern Randolph County is moving along well. That section of the bypass should be open by June, officials said, completing a little early a project that began about two and half years ago. Let’s hope winter weather this year causes little, if any, delay in the timetable for that section of the highway because it will provide for more of northern Randolph County easy access to High Point and Winston-Salem. Opening the road also will spur economic development in the eastern section of Archdale in the area around N.C. 62, Interstate 85 and the bypass. Cooperative winter weather this year also will aid in speeding up construction of the final link of the U.S. 311 Bypass. That 8-mile section, which will connect with U.S. 220, is set for completion by November 2012. When construction began on the Business Loop to Spencer Road section, some DOT officials suggested that construction on that section and the final 8-mile route might be scheduled so as to open both sections at the same time. That certainly wouldn’t be a wise move now. Construction on the Business Loop to Spencer Road section is significantly advanced and should continue full speed ahead so area residents can look toward it opening by June.

s a sign of the end of the Great Recession or as the heralding of the roots of the next one Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s investment bank are handing out $30 billion in combined bonuses to employees this year. The companies are referring to them as earned, but let’s call it what it is. The firms, which received historic bailouts from the U.S. taxpayers in order to keep their jobs on Wall Street, are now using that same taxpayer money to go back to business as usual. It’s all further evidence that no one in the financial district learned anything from the Great Recession and what’s worse, they don’t care. The Bush and the Obama administration didn’t put in any safeguards to make sure this very thing didn’t happen. Taxpayer dollars were given away by the billions to people who created the mess but without any safety measures to make sure they didn’t repeat their mistakes. It’s difficult to be surprised that we’re now being treated like chumps. The solution would have been to get a contract in place back when the financial world was clamoring for our help, just like that uncle who always needs a little money to pull things together. But no one in Washington even asked them to come up with a timeline, much less an actual repayment plan. Everything was done on the honor system with the same people who were trading securities that couldn’t be sustained in the first place. Perhaps they’re not sure how the rest of us are required to do business and ironically by the very institutions who are doling out our money. It’s very simple really, which any small business owner or average homeowner could help the bigwigs on Wall Street to understand. It goes like this: a company or a person borrows money and before they take large amounts out of the company or their savings to spend deliriously upon themselves, they pay the loan back. Today that’s all wishful thinking. There is no provision to force any of these institutions to repay the American taxpayers so that the money can be spent on new roads, better schools, that argued-over health care system or myriad other things that might actually

benefit the ones who put in the money in the first place. However, this is America, which means there’s one clause in all of this that gives us some say-so in how our money is spent. That’s when we all gather together to vote and it’s OPINION so powerful that large blocs of voters have been known to Martha R. change the way things are done Carr just by getting behind a single idea. No one in the financial arena of Washington or New York is listening to the American taxpayer right now. It’s as if they think we’re so exhausted from that job hunt that we don’t have time to realize we’re being cheated with repercussions for years to come. But we can prove them wrong.

Politically correct language doesn’t change facts

---

M

erry Christmas everyone. Happy Holidays, and Happy Winter (just so I don’t leave anyone out). Is anyone else questioning all this political correctness that’s crept up on our society and taken it captive? What’s the deal? Instead of being a guide for polite society as it was in the past, today it’s toeing the line between harmless fluff and dishonesty. Renaming theft as “appropriation� or a lie as a “creative construction� attempts to make the deeds appear less serious than they are. Calling these actions by softer words only shifts the attention from the gravity of the situation and doesn’t change the facts at all, just as calling a person “vertically challenged� does not make them any less short. And I don’t see how calling “Christmas� just a “holiday� makes sense since the whole reason Christmas was started was to celebrate Christ’s birth. With so much focus on not offending anyone, many of our words have lost their meaning. For example, “special� and “precious� have no real significance, especially when used on schoolchildren in parent teacher conferences. Often, when a well-meaning teacher does not have too many positive things to say about a child, she will fish around in her bag of sufficiently ambiguous words in order to appease the parents and perhaps save the child from certain doom. Consequently, when a truly special child comes along, the teacher must attempt to reuse those same threadbare words to convey a truly positive meaning. On a more serious note, political correctness has also taken a toll on words like “tolerance�

and “acceptance.� Tolerance used to mean that you endure something that is annoying or that you don’t agree with, hopefully with a degree TEEN VIEW of civility. It used to be that people could Julie agree to disagree, Fox but not anymore. ■■■Today, tolerance has morphed into a buzzword used to remind people that everyone must accept, and even embrace, everyone else’s choices while keeping their own opinions to themselves. The word “acceptance� is likely to pop up in discussions of volatile topics in which people are starkly divided in their beliefs. It’s freely thrown around to justify the self-centered choices made in a culture where “it’s all about me.� Where has this thinking gotten us? In a mess as I see it. We as individuals should not accept and tolerate things that we disagree with just to avoid arguments. Turning our heads from what is going on around us so we don’t have to deal with those with opposing views doesn’t solve anything, but only enlarges the problems for future generations. What will the children of today have to deal with when they are adults raised in the age of tolerance? But back to where I started: This is my column, and I want to let everyone know that I celebrate Christmas because I believe that Jesus came to save a sinful world. And with that said, I’d like to warmly wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Teen View columnist JULIE FOX is a senior at High Point Christian Academy.

Is paying teachers bonuses bad policy? The Fayetteville Observer, Dec. 14

I

f you have a poorly performing school, what you want is an exceptional teacher to come into your district, request assignment to the most challenging situation and proceed to work miracles for starter pay. It’s unclear how much farther Cumberland County Board of Education members were able to carry the discussion at their planning retreat last week. The matter of bonuses for nationally board-certified teachers became, at least for a while, a sticking point. Bonuses as high as $5,000 a year are paid to top educators working in three eligible schools: T.C. Berrien Elementary, Pauline Jones Elementary and E.E. Smith High School. Some board members balked at enticing teachers to go where the school system

could, at least in theory, order them to go. Others emphasized the difference between theory and practice, arguing that forcing teachers into bad situations could drive them out of the district. The issue won’t be resolved until the board votes, in regular session, on continuing the bonuses. So go back to the first sentence of this editorial, and what people want. Obviously, we want the ideal. Our wants, though, quickly run into real-life circumstances that are far from ideal. And it’s likely that withholding the special expertise of the nationally certified teachers (who mentor other teachers in addi-

tion to teaching children) would be self-defeating false economy. You have to go to the other end of the proposition to make your adjustments. Starter pay for master educators is a nonstarter. Can you, then, get top teachers for the average of all teacher salaries within the district? You could try. But that would bet the schools’ very survival on the premise that there are educators so dedicated that they would knowingly accept less than they’re worth, and impose on their families a more austere lifestyle than they could enjoy in some other state or district. It would be more pru-

dent to look at the track record. Pauline Jones Elementary was in fact threatened with closure just four years ago. It isn’t out of the woods yet, but the threat is no longer imminent. Standout educators and bonuses don’t get all of the credit for progress made there – or, for that matter, at E.E. Smith, whose students, parents and alumni also rose to the challenge when the shadow of failure fell. In the end, it isn’t mainly about teachers. That turns the question around: What would trimming the school system’s spending by these few thousands accomplish for the students?

Children’s swine flu shots recalled ATLANTA – Hundreds of thousands of swine flu shots for children have been recalled because tests indicate the vaccine doses lost some strength, government health officials said Tuesday. The shots were distributed across the country last month, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Dr. Anne Schuchat, a CDC flu expert, stressed parents don’t need to worry if their child got one – or even two – of the recalled shots.

4 family members found dead in home SAN CLEMENTE, Calif. – A Houston-area attorney involved in a bitter custody dispute was found fatally shot along with her two young daughters and mother in an apparent murdersuicide after she was ordered to bring the children to a court hearing, authorities said Tuesday. Investigators found 38year-old Elizabeth Fontaine’s body next to those of her mother, Bonnie Hoult, 67, and two children Monday at an upscale Orange County home.

2nd-grader sent home for crucifix drawing TAUNTON, Mass. – An 8-year-old boy was sent home from school and ordered to undergo a psychological evaluation after he was asked to make a Christmas drawing and sketched what appeared to be a stick figure of Jesus on a cross, the child’s father said Tuesday. Chester Johnson said his son made the drawing on Dec. 2 after his second-grade teacher asked children to sketch something that reminded them of the holiday.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Responding to calls among rank-and-file Democrats for more infrastructure spending, House leaders Tuesday unveiled a plan to add almost $50 billion in spending on highways, housing, and school repair as part of a year-end plan to create jobs. The measure is aimed at keeping the fragile economic recovery on track with money for teachers, the unemployed and small businesses. A vote is planned for today.

Lawyer: Missing Utah mom’s husband met with cops SALT LAKE CITY (AP) – The husband of a missing Utah woman has been answering questions from police on a daily basis and is not hindering an investigation into her disappearance, as police have alleged, his attorney said Tuesday. Scott Williams told The Associated Press he and Josh Powell met with West Valley City police on Tues-

day. He said Powell is answering police questions in an effort to help find his 28-year-old wife, Susan. Susan Powell was reported missing Dec. 7 when she didn’t show up to work and her children weren’t dropped off at day care. Josh Powell told police he took his boys, ages 2 and 4, camping around 12:30 a.m. that day and returned in the evening.

Christmas flower in ample supply BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – North Carolina’s Christmas flower flourished this year in greenhouses and so far has survived the early holiday shopping rush in hardy numbers. Shoppers seeking a lastminute gift or home decoration should have plenty of poinsettia choices. “We have plenty of plants, and prices are the same as last year,” said Pam Rogers of Price Nursery. “We also have some new varieties this year.” Prices start at about $6 for a smaller plant. A typical plant in a 6-inch pot costs from $8 to $10. Red plants account for 60 percent of poinsettia sales. New varieties include Holly Point and Pink Shimmer. “The Holly Point has pointed and variegated green leaves,” Rogers said. “All of these are grown locally.” Pink Shimmer has white speckles on pink leaves. Because poinsettias, a flowering shrub, take a long time to grow, most were irrigated in greenhouses. North Carolina is the second largest producer of poinsettias in the United States. Large operations in Greensboro, Charlotte and Raleigh supply the chain stores with the millions of plants that end up in living rooms across the eastern part of the country. “Overall, floriculture contributes more than $207 million to our state’s economy, and poinsettias play an important role in that industry,” Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler said at the beginning of the holiday season. With proper care, the plants can last until Valentine’s Day. Owners should be careful, however, not to place the plants in direct sun, according to experts. Poinsettias were introduced to the United States in 1820 by Joel Poinsett, the first American ambassador to Mexico. Poinsettias became so popular they replaced begonias and azaleas during the holidays.

TRINITY – The Trinity City Council has approved an application to seek a grant that would help fund a park on city property. At its regular monthly meeting Tuesday night, the City Council agreed to submit an application for a $500,000 grant, which the city will match, to the N.C. Parks and Recreation Trust Fund. Earlier this year, the City Council directed staff to prepare an application for the grant. The application will include a parks and recreation master plan, a parks and recreation capital improvement plan, a Center City site park plan and project budget for the plan. As part of planning and development of the Center City Park, the City Council has agreed to get assistance from the Piedmont Triad Council of Governments. The park would be located on the site of Trinity City Hall’s property, nestled on about 30 acres off N.C. 62. If the city receives the grant, officials hope to use the funds for picnic shelters, playgrounds and walking trails. An amphitheater estimated to cost $300,000 also is planned for the park, but there is not enough money to build one in the first PARTF grant application, said Randy McNeill, the city’s engineer. Responding to Councilwoman Karen Bridges financial concerns about funding the park, City Manager Ann Bailie said the city would not go into the debt with the project because it has the money to fund its half of the park. City officials have said plans for the park are a part of the Trinity Center City Plan, includes a proposal for a Village Center in the center of Trinity. City officials have said Trinity has until Feb. 1 to submit the application. The city will know if it’s a recipient of the grant by July or August 2010 and would have three years to complete the park.

Donations boost Cheer Fund to $16,559 ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

The 2009 Christmas Cheer Fund has received $2,050 today. That brings the total in donations to $16,559. This year’s goal is $35,000. The fund, operated by the Kiwanis Club of High Point, provides Christmas gifts for nearly 1,500 children identified by the Guilford County Department of Social Services. The campaign was started in 1924 by The High Point Enterprise as a campaign to raise money for needy families. “Local organizations, such as the Rotary, Kiwanis and Civitan clubs, are to aid in taking care of these families,” the Enterprise said in a front page article published Dec. 12, 1924.

B

The initial campaign collected $848. The campaign has changed responsibility over the years. It was operated as an Empty Stocking Fund by the High Point Jaycees for about 30 years, after it was passed around between different private local residents and groups. When the last local nonprofit charitable organization owner, the late Benny Braica, retired in the late 1990s, the High Point Kiwanis Club took over what’s now called the Christmas Cheer Fund. This year’s distribution of gifts will be from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m. Dec. 19 at Mount Vernon Baptist Church, 716 Leonard Ave. Parents of eligible children will be mailed vouch-

ers that they can redeem for gifts. Donations should be made out to Christmas Cheer Fund and mailed to P.O. Box 5467, High Point, NC 27261.

Agency: Navy mortality study funding critical CAMP LEJEUNE (AP) – The federal agency in charge of studying the effects of contaminated water on Marines and their families at a North Carolina base said critical gaps in funding still exist. The Department of the Navy and the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry have been fighting for months over the funding of a mortality study at Camp Lejeune. In a letter Monday, the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry argued that the study is “the mosttime efficient� and valid method of determining the health effects. The study will determine if there are higher mortality rates for active duty Marines who served at the base during the years the water was contaminated. The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry points out in its letter that it has the “responsibility to determine what public health studies and responses are warranted at Federal sites,� and that it is the Navy’s responsibility under the law to fund the studies. Earlier this month, North Carolina’s Sens. Richard Burr and Kay Hagan were among four senators urging the Navy to fund the study.

TULSA, Okla. (AP) – Oral Roberts, a pioneer in televangelism who founded a multimilliondollar ministry and a university that bears his name, died Tuesday. He was 91. Roberts died of complications from pneumonia in Newport Beach, Calif., according to his spokesRoberts man, A. Larry Ross. The evangelist was hospitalized after a fall on Saturday. He had survived two heart attacks in the 1990s and a broken hip in 2006. Roberts was a pioneer who broadcast his spirit-filled revivals on television, a new frontier for religion when he started in the 1950s. He was also a forerunner of the controversial “prosperity gospel� that has come to dominate televangelism. The evangelist’s “Seed-Faith� theology held that those who give to God will get things in return. “If God had not, in His sovereign will, raised up the ministry of Oral Roberts, the entire charismatic movement might not have occurred,� said Jack Hayford, president of the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel, in a statement. Roberts overcame tuberculosis at age 17, when his brother carried him to a revival meeting where a healing evangelist was praying for the sick.

Son’s job kept Perdue out of recruiting firm RALEIGH (AP) – Gov. Beverly Perdue didn’t play a recruiting role with a Louisiana-based consultant moving to North Carolina because her son had been working with the company. Mutliple media outlets reported Tuesday that Perdue recused herself from dealing with Innovative Emergency Management, which

announced Monday it was moving to Durham County and bringing 430 jobs. That’s because Perdue’s son, Garrett, works at a law firm that helped represent the outfit. Governor’s spokeswoman Chrissy Pearson said the Commerce Department handled the recruiting to avoid a conflict of interest.

HIGH POINT – Eighteen nonprofit organizations will get a needed boost this week when the High Point Community Foundation presents its annual grant awards. The Foundation will host the ceremony 4 p.m. Thursday at the High Point Country Club. Grant checks will be presented to the nonprofit organizations for having long-term impacts on the local community through innovative programming. This marks the 11th year the foundation has conducted the annual grants program, awarding just under $3 million in that time. “The grants committee has once again done an outstanding job allocating funds to nonprofit organizations who are doing transforming and critical work in our community,� said Joe Rawley, chairman of the Community Foundation. “Jan Samet and his committee bring wisdom, experience and a significant commitment of their time to this process.

More NC workers get federal subpoenas RALEIGH (AP) – Federal investigators still want more answers about coastal real estate developments assembled by two brothers with ties to former Gov. Mike Easley and whether anyone made payoffs or gifts to state regulators. Three Department of Environment and Natural Resources employees have been subpoenaed to appear later this week before a federal grand jury, agency spokeswoman Diana Kees confirmed Tuesday. The U.S. Attorney’s Office is seeking information similar to what it

asked for from six other current or former department employees served with subpoenas last month. “We will continue to cooperate fully with the federal investigation,� Kees said in an e-mail. The subpoenas served Dec. 8 upon Kim Colson, John Dorney and Jeff Schaffer represent the latest in dozens served this year by prosecutors wanting more details about a wide range of activities surrounding Easley, his wife and associates. Easley, a Democrat who left office 11 months ago, hasn’t been charged with any crimes, although a local

prosecutor is examining whether he or others broke state laws based on evidence uncovered in a weeklong State Board of Elections hearing in October. Federal prosecutors want the employees, who could arrive at the Raleigh federal courthouse today at the earliest, to provide any documents on four developments put together by businessmen Gary and Randy Allen. Easley and his wife bought a lot in one of the developments – Cannonsgate in Carteret County – in 2005.

Woman is hot and bothered by husband who means well D

ear Abby: How do you explain to a man how uncomfortable hot flashes are? I’m a perimenopausal woman who has been married for 12 years to a sweet husband who loves to “snuggle.� But when I’m having a hot flash, the last thing I want is a warm body touching me. My husband thinks I’m “mean� and that I’m one of those “freaky females.� How can I make him understand that hot flashes happen, and that it should be OK for me to ask for some space until the feeling passes? – Hot Flash Hilda Dear Hilda: Start with the basics. Tell him (if he hasn’t already noticed) that when a woman experiences a hot flash, her skin suddenly feels intensely warm and she often begins to perspire – sometimes profusely. The feeling of heat can be so strong that some women suddenly remove their jackets, and others also feel an overwhelming urge to remove their jewelry. Fortunately, the feeling usually passes within a few minutes. If your husband doesn’t get the message, then preheat your oven to 450 degrees for 15 minutes,

ADVICE

open the door and ask him to lean in. Ladies, have you anything to add?

Dear Abby: My husband ■■■and I are in our 80s. For many years we used to entertain during the holidays. Now we wonder where all our former guests have disappeared to. Our annual parties grew to include more than 80 friends. Dinner was prepared by a chef; we had a bartender and a pianist. People said they looked forward to those gatherings year after year. We never expected anyone to entertain us in the same way, yet even being asked out for hamburgers would have been such a treat. Very few reciprocated in any way except to bring a few bottles of wine. We miss them and wonder if people realize that a simple get-together is always appreciated. – Food For Thought, Sparks, Nev. Dear Abby

Dear Food For Thought: Some of the

guests you entertained so beautifully may have been intimidated because it was done on such a grand scale. But if my mail is any indication, it also appears many people have “forgotten� that there is a social obligation that goes with accepting invitations, and that the guests must reciprocate with an invitation of some sort in return. Dear Abby: I work at a public library and live not far from where I work. A lot of people who use the library live in my apartment building and I run into them often. These people never hesitate to stop me when I’m clearly off the clock to ask me a slew of library questions. I confess I’m a bit of a doormat, and I’m afraid to ask them to leave me alone. Is there a way to tell those people to quit harassing me when I’m not working? I’d feel so much better about myself if I learned how. – The Answer Lady Dear Answer Lady: Look the person in the eye and say, “That may take some researching, but I’ll be glad to answer that when I’m at the

library. Ask me then.� However, if you can’t find the courage to say this, then what you need more than an answer from an advice columnist is assertiveness training. A psychologist can give you a referral or some pointers. DEAR ABBY is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Dad taught lessons about giving

W

hen Linda Posey Turlington was a little girl, she couldn’t understand why her father always gave things away. He was so generous that in their hometown of Asheville, he was commonly referred to as a “do-gooder.� Instead of being proud of her dad’s designation, she viewed it as derogatory. So her dad, Tom Posey, set out to teach her a lesson. He told his family they would have a lesser Christmas so they could give Christmas to someone else. On Christmas Eve he loaded his truck with a Christmas tree, toys, presents and clothes and drove his wife, Betty Jean, their son, Tommy, and young Linda to the home of a very poor family in Chicken Hill. “I didn’t like Dad’s idea. As we drove there, my only thought was about what I was losing,� Turlington said. When they arrived, Turlington was shocked to find that she could see right through the exterior walls of the home. When she looked down, she realized the floor was made of dirt. Glancing around, Turlington saw the mother, three young children and a baby. The baby left the deepest impression. “My dolls at home were clean and warm and sleeping in their own bassinettes. And this baby – a real baby – was wrapped in dirty rags and sleeping in a dresser drawer,� Turlington said. Then Turlington noticed the joy – tears of joy and appreciation – as the mother and her children received all the things young Linda took for granted. Even the baby was

transformed as Turlington’s mother took the infant in her ABOVE arms and dressed it AND up pretty. BEYOND “On the ride Patty Jo home, Sawvel I felt ■■■like I’d already had my Christmas, and I didn’t care if I didn’t get as many presents. I understood why my dad was a dogooder. He cared about other people, and he really wanted them to enjoy life as much as he did,� Turlington said. After that, Turlington became a do-gooder, too. At age 16, she became director of volunteers for Head Start in Buncombe County. “The best way to help others is to take a personal interest in them and identify their real needs. Often, giving of your time and being there to listen is more valuable than giving people money,� Turlington said. Turlington and her husband, Jimmy, also reached out to a family in Costa Rica for several years, even helping them build a house. Additionally, they have helped out so much in Kernersville – at schools, with scholarships and in the community – that in this year Linda was named Volunteer of the Year by the local Chamber of Commerce. “I’ve proved to myself that we are always blessed when we give,� said Turlington, now 59. PATTY JO SAWVEL is a freelance writer from Kernersville. Her column appears in the Enterprise on alternate Wednesdays.

Fred Murrow deserves recognition Last year the High Point Regional Association of Realtors took on a project to collect and ship goodie bags to our troops in the war zones. The operation is called “Zip-Lock.� When the shipment was ready for pick-up, the transporter had a problem and could not follow through with the delivery. Fortunately one of our Realtors members has a very good friend who owns Murrow’s Transfer, Inc. After hearing of our plight, Mr. Fred Murrow came to our rescue. He sent a truck along with his men to pick-up the 60 packages and haul them across country and ship to our troops all at the expense of Murrow’s Transfer, Inc. Again this year the project is being repeated. Thank you again Mr. Fred Murrow for this most generous donation. You are a true patriot. JAY WOOD High Point

There is help for dry mouth

D

ear Dr. Donohue: Let your readers hear about dry mouth. I have had it for two months. I’d never heard of it. Several doctors told me there is no cure. They suggested it could be a side effect of the antidepressant medicine I take. One doctor who has the condition chews Trident bubble gum all his waking hours. Can you help? – M.E.

BLONDIE

Saliva protects against dental decay. It moistens food so it can be swallowed. It enables us to talk. Lack of it makes life miserable. A cure is found only if a cause is identifiable. Medicines can dry the mouth, and some antidepressants are among those medicines. See if your doctor will change your current antidepressant to one that’s less drying. Always carry a squeezable water bottle with you, and don’t hesitate to use it. Sugarless chewing gum stimulates the salivary glands. Your doctor is a testimonial to it. Artificial salivas abound. Biotene products, on the shelves of all drugstores, are tailor-made to keep the mouth moist. Numoisyn Lozenges and Numoisyn Liquids have a following of devoted fans. Make sure your home has humidity between 40 percent and 60 percent. Evoxac, Salagen and pilocarpine are three prescription medicines that jump-start saliva production. In search of a cause, ask your doctor if you might have Sjogren’s syndrome.

Dry mouth is one of its salient features. Sjogren’s patients also might have dry HEALTH eyes, and sometimes Dr. Paul they have Donohue joint pain. ■■■ Their immune systems have turned against their salivary and tear glands. Other Sjogren’s symptoms include a lowgrade fever, fatigue and muscle and joint pain. Laboratory tests can confirm if your immune system is attacking your salivary glands. Don’t fail to contact the Sjogren’s Syndrome Foundation for information on the treatment of dry mouth and the other symptoms of Sjogren’s syndrome if you have them. The foundation’s number is 800-475-6473, and its Web site is: www. sjogrens.org. Dear Dr. Donohue: I started having jock itch about one year ago. Will you shed some light on this subject? – G.D. The official name for jock itch is tinea cruris. It’s a fungal infection. The involved skin, mainly the upper thighs – the groin area – becomes red and scaly, and often itchy. The border between the rash and normal skin has tiny bumps on it, or small pimples. A number of effective over-the-counter powders, creams and ointments work well. Desenex Cream, Desenex Jock Itch

Spray, Micatin Cream and Tinactin Cream are readily available, and there are others. If these products don’t get rid of the rash, then you have to step up to prescription medicines. The oral drug griseofulvin usually works well. The doctor who writes the prescriptions for you can check your rash to be sure it isn’t something else. Erythrasma (a bacterium-caused rash), candida (a yeast-caused rash) and psoriasis all look somewhat like tinea cruris. They each call for different treatments. Dear Dr. Donohue: I have a lot of rumbling sounds in my stomach. I asked my doctor about it, but she can’t give a reason. People around me can hear these sounds. It’s embarrassing. What causes them? – J.S. Those noises have a name – borborygmi (BORE-buh-RIG-my). They come from the churning of gases and liquids in the intestinal tract. One way to quiet them is to grab something to eat. Carry a bagel or cookie with you and munch it down when the music starts. Gas-relieving products, of which there are many, are found in every drugstore and you can give them a try. Stay away from beans and carbonated beverages, especially beverages that also have a high sugar load. If you have pain along with the noises, see your doctor.

In this image released by Paramount, George Clooney portrays Ryan Bingham in a scene from “Up in the Air.”

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) – “Up in the Air” landed at just the right time, emerging as a potential Academy Awards favorite with themes of job loss and economic calamity that offer a heartbreaking yet hilarious reflection of these hard times. The film grabbed a leading six Golden Globe nominations Tues-

day, including best drama, plus directing and screenplay honors for Jason Reitman. George Clooney earned a best dramatic actor slot as a frequent-flyer junkie traveling the country in first-class seats and premium car rentals as he fires the rank-and-file at downsizing companies. Other drama picks were the

space fantasy “Avatar,” the Iraq War tale “The Hurt Locker,” the World War II saga “Inglourious Basterds” and the Harlem teen story “Precious: Based on the Novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire.” The 67th annual Globes will be handed out Jan. 17, six days before voting closes for the Oscar nominations.

Unusual recipe ideas let you use what you have BY VICTORIA BRETT FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

B

etween kindly neighbors, generous officemates and your own seasonal baking lust, it’s easy to get overwhelmed by cookies during the holidays. What to do with all the cookies that don’t get gobbled up right away? Kate Merker, associate food editor at Real Simple magazine, suggests morphing cookies into a different kind of dessert treat. Or simply storing them in the freezer to preserve freshness until you’re once again craving gingerbread. Let’s start with cookie storage basics. Most holiday cookies that are not iced or frosted do fine for a few days in an airtight container at room temperature. Anything with frosting or icing does better refrigerated in an airtight container, says Merker.

And just about any cookies can be frozen for a couple of months. Just make sure they are completely cooled before freezing. If your cookies are drying out too fast, it’s probably a problem with the baking, not the storage. “I have found that a lot of cookies can dry out, get hard, after only a day or even a few hours after baking,” says Merker. This is likely from baking for too long. So be sure to check the cookies a few minutes before the recipe says they should be done. For those cookies left untouched, Merker offers these suggestions: • Sprinkle crumbled meringue cookies over orange or raspberry sorbet. • Make a parfait by layering chocolate pudding and crumbled peanut butter cookies, then topping them with a dollop of whipped cream and another sprinkling of cookies.

• Make a quick pear crisp using crumbled oatmeal cookies. Place halved and cored pears in a baking dish cut-side up. Combine 1 cup crumbled cookies with 4 tablespoons butter (cut into pieces) and 2 tablespoons of brown sugar. Sprinkle the mixture over the pears and bake at 400 degrees, or until the pears are tender, about 15 minutes. • In pie crust recipes that call for crushed graham crackers or vanilla wafers, try using shortbread, peanut butter or gingersnap (not gingerbread) cookies instead. • Make an ice cream sandwich. Try traditional chocolate chip, or go for gingersnaps with chocolate or strawberry ice cream. But remember, ice cream sandwiches taste best with fresh cookies and fresh ice cream. Assembled sandwiches can be wrapped and frozen for up to three days.

Don’t let the cayenne frighten you BY ALISON LADMAN FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

D

on’t be afraid of the cayenne in these macaroons. These cookies are moist, rich and chewy, with just a hint of warmth.

Mexican Spiced Macaroons Start to finish: 45 minutes Makes 36 macaroons 14-ounce package sweetened coconut flakes 3 ⁄4 cup sugar, divided 1 ⁄4 cup all-purpose flour 1 ⁄4 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon cinnamon, divided 1 ⁄4 teaspoon cayenne 6 ounces semisweet chocolate chips 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 4 egg whites Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, mix together the coconut, 1⁄2 cup of the sugar, the flour, salt, 1⁄2 teaspoon of the cinnamon and the cayenne. Place the chocolate in a microwavesafe bowl. Microwave on high in 15-second bursts, stirring between, until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Set aside to cool. In a small bowl, mix together the remaining 1⁄4 cup of sugar and 1⁄2 teaspoon cinnamon. Set aside. Add the vanilla and egg whites to the coconut mixture. Use your hands to mix together until all the coconut mixture is moistened. Add the melted chocolate and mix thoroughly. Drop by the tablespoonful onto the prepared baking sheet. A small cookie or ice cream scoop works well if you want very round balls. Alternatively, you can shape them with your fingers. Sprinkle the cookies with the cinnamon-sugar blend. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the edges start to toast and the cookies feel somewhat firm. Allow to cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to wire cooling racks to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.

Wednesday, Dec. 16, 2009 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Hallee Hirsh, 22; Michael McCary, 38; Benjamin Bratt, 46; Sam Robards, 48 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: The test will be to recognize the opportunities and take action without going overboard. You will have to be ready to pounce when the time is right. You can achieve great heights if you aren’t afraid to make a move. There is money to be made and pending problems to be rectified – nothing is out of reach as long as you know your boundaries. Your numbers are 3, 10, 18, 24, 35, 41, 43 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Get involved in conversations or events that will help you gain experience, information or know-how. Love is in the stars and an interesting encounter will develop into something greater if you frequent old familiar places. ★★★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Hold on to your money. Just because you see something that someone might like doesn’t mean you have to purchase it. Impulsive purchases will cause stress later on when you are short of cash. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Open your home to friends and colleagues who share some of your interests. Creative ideas put into practice at home and work will bring you greater opportunities and a partnership that enables you to pursue important goals. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t give in to anyone trying to push you to take on responsibilities that don’t belong to you. Speak up and let everyone you have to deal with know you will not deviate for someone else’s gain. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Watch your back. Not everyone will be on your side or willing to do for you what you would in return. Love is on the rise and there can be a happy ending to a stressful day. ★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t leave anything to chance. You have to take charge and follow through with your plans. Accomplishment can be yours but not if you let emotional matters escalate and stand in the way of your productivity. ★★★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Avoid pushy people trying to get you to do things you don’t want to do. Keep busy traveling or shopping. It will be much easier to buy your way out of a situation than to talk your way out. ★★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Put things aside that aren’t working for you. Don’t trust anyone who doesn’t have the vision to give you proper advice. It will take a creative person to recognize your potential. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Put your personality, skills and experience to work for you and you will find financial success when and where you least expect. Talks may be limited if you aren’t willing to speak from the heart. A deal you’ve been working on will pay off now. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You may have plenty of information but to dole it out for free is not the answer. Bide your time and make what you have to offer worth something. Don’t share information regarding your financial position until you have stabilized your situation. ★★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Impress someone you want to get to know better by offering assistance or volunteering for a cause. Love is in the stars and a change you make to your place of residence or your everyday routine will enhance a relationship that means a lot to you. ★★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Don’t fall for compliments or offerings that are just a ploy to get your attention. Change may be tempting but it isn’t likely to fix any existing problems. Face facts and deal with issues head-on. ★★

I’ve heard a pessimist defined as an optimist coming home from a casino. After all of Unlucky Louie’s misfortune, you’d think he’d have become a pessimist, but he continues to see the doughnut, not the hole. West’s cue bid of two spades showed a weak hand with length in hearts and a minor suit, after which Louie became declarer at six spades. He ruffed West’s king of hearts, cashed the K-J of trumps and next led the king of diamonds. West ruffed and led another heart, and Louie ruffed, took the A-Q of diamonds and ruffed a diamond with dummy’s last trump. Alas, he still had a diamond loser.

SECOND TRUMP It takes a pessimist to make the slam. In case West is void of diamonds, South must win the second trump in his hand to lead a diamond toward the king. If West ruffs, South plays low and later sets up the diamonds. If instead West discards, South takes the king and plays low on the next diamond. He ruffs the heart return, ruffs a diamond and easily takes the rest.

Partner next bids four spades. What do you say? ANSWER: Partner’s bidding suggests five spades and six diamonds, and even if his high-card values are minimum, you may have a slam. If he holds A Q 9 6 4, None, A J 9 7 6 2, K 4, seven spades will be a fair contract. Cue-bid five clubs. 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.

Take ‘in sickness and in health’ seriously M

y wife had a medical emergency early one recent morning. The details are unimportant, but the care and response that we received were very important. At 5 a.m., she called her doctor. He said we should call 911. Within a few minutes a paramedic vehicle and a fire truck arrived at our door. Moments later, she was getting attended to by three men in uniforms while I sat nearby feeling useless. It was quickly determined by their efforts and in conference with the doctor that she was well enough for me to drive her to the hospital. So, less than 30 minutes after this began we were on the road. As it was so early, the drive was traffic-free, and we entered the emergency room as the sun was rising. Thankfully, it was a quiet morning there so we were quickly ushered into “triage� and then given a bed. In no time, a nurse had begun an IV, and shortly afterward, the doctor on call examined her. He had already spoken with my wife’s primary doctor. A couple of hours later, she was in a regular bed in the hospital. And,

shortly thereafter, she was wheeled to the preop area and had a minor A DAD’S surgical procedure POINT at mid-afOF VIEW ternoon of this same Bruce day. In Sallan post-op, ■■■she was quite out of it, thanks to the anesthesia. Our discussion centered on her desire to extort jewelry out of me since she felt entitled due to this event. The nurses were being thoroughly unhelpful as they discussed the size of the diamond she should receive as compensation. I was able to dodge this – again, thanks to the anesthesia – as she later forgot all about that misguided idea. About 14 hours after the whole episode began, we were back home, and she was in her own bed, eating some hastily made pasta, prepared by my our emerging super-chef, my younger son. Somehow, I have a hard time believing this would’ve happened as quickly, as perfectly, as

attentively and with as much kindness and care if we end up with national health-care, managed by the government. To be fair, let’s consider opposing viewpoints. My wife’s parents live in Canada and her mother recently had surgery for a brain tumor. When this was discovered, an MRI was ordered. So they waited. And waited. Over two months later, they finally got the MRI only due to the fact that her surgeon intervened, as he wanted to do her surgery prior to his monthlong August vacation. Thankfully, the surgery and postop have been wonderfully successful and her parents were not only grateful but especially proud of the fact that it cost them hundreds of dollars as opposed to the hundreds of thousands of dollars it might have cost elsewhere. Further, my wife’s family has an uncle who claims that he would have been broke and/or dead without the benefit of Canada’s health-care system, since he’s been the unlucky victim of numerous serious illnesses and surgeries. My own parents, who died at ages 89 and 90,

had about a dozen major surgeries between them. Ironically, most were at the same hospital where my wife had her recent surgery. My dad was a self-insured blue-collar worker, while my mom managed the family finances and was the quintessential ’50s housewife. I can’t imagine how they would have financially survived their various health traumas without the benefit of Medicare. I don’t know which system is best, and I don’t want to advocate any system. I just want to thank God for the care my wife just received. I realize, yet again, that the only wealth is our health. I look at my boys in times like these and reflect on how lucky I am to have a teen with “attitude,� unlike a good friend of mine whose son has cystic fibrosis. Or my pre-teen who likes to question everything I ask of him, when another good friend of mine has two pre-teens with such problematic learning disabilities that he wonders how or if they’ll ever be able to take care of themselves. I am reminded that “sweating the little things� is really foolish,

that appreciating all we so often take for granted is the key to happiness, and that my wife’s pies are truly a gift from heaven to cite just one of the many little miracles she provides our family. I also am grateful that my boys were caring enough that they both called to check on their step-mom rather than think of whatever inconveniences this episode might cause them. And, finally, I’m grateful to the doctors, paramedics, firefighters and other medical staff who dropped whatever they were doing and took special care of my wife. When we made our vows, little did we know that

we’d be tested on the “in sickness and in health� area as quickly and as often as we have been. I believe that it’s the stressful times that test a relationship the most. I hope that I passed the test this time. READERS CAN VISIT www. brucesallan.com. Bruce Sallan was an award-winning television executive and producer for 25 years.

our dog and cat may not know it’s the holidays, but admit it, most of those pet presents are really gifts for ourselves. Brighten the dark winter days by watching your furry family have fun, and solve some common pet problems with the following suggestions: • You can get plenty of tasteful, upscale pet beds nowadays, styled to fit into your home’s decor. Or you can say the heck with it and cheer up a room with a bright pink Sasquatch pet bed, “the original big foot for your little beast.â€? If you’re a fan of a certain famous colorful clog you’ll go for this one, and your pet will enjoy the cozy cave made by the shoe shape. ($99.95 at www. sasquatchpetbeds.com/ ). • Prefer the recycled approach? The Molly Mutt pet duvet can be used to cover an old bed, or stuff it with old blankets, clothes, pillow, towels, even old stuffed toys to make a bed and keep more stuff out of landfills. (Different sizes, shapes and fabric patterns $20-45, www.mollymutt. com/ ). • If your dog is a tough chewer, check out Goughnuts. In stick and round doughnut shapes, these aren’t cheap, but it’s worth it, because they come with a lifetime guarantee. If

your dog manages to chew down to the red inner safety indicator, you can return the toy to the manufacturer for a replacement. (Around $20-30 at http:// goughnuts.com/ ). • Get tired of throwing that fetch toy over and over? Use one that will make you laugh: the Humunga Stache from Moody Pet, that makes your dog look like he’s got a huge handlebar moustache. ($12 at www.moodypet.com/ humungastache.html ). • Clicker training is the modern way to communicate with your dog, based on a positive relationship and the science of animal learning. The only problem is that sometimes it seems to require three hands. “Between the leash, the clicker and the treats, it’s a bit of a juggling act,â€? says Victoria Schade, trainer and owner of Life on the Leash in Doylestown, Pa. Solve that problem with the

Clickerleash. “Just like it sounds, the clicker is cleverly incorporated into the leash handle,â€? says Schade. ($34.95, http:// clickerleash.com/ ). • Winter can be tough for a small dog – and for the owner who has to make a coat and a harness work together. How did it take so long for someone to think of the 1z, a coat with a harness incorporated? Put the coat on, snap on the leash, and you’re ready to go. (Find a retailer at http://pawzdogboots. com/1z-coat/ ). • Max and Ruffy’s organic dog treats come in three cool varieties: the Molasses Explosion 1919 (named after a sticky event in the history of Boston), a delicioussmelling pumpkin flavor, and “Wolf Peach and Herb,â€? which tastes like pizza. They’re designed for dogs, but Jessica Simon of pet boutique Living Ruff in Silver Spring,

Authorities: Little chance climbers are alive

AP

Donald Eugene Gates stands outside a bus terminal while en route to Ohio, Tuesday, in Phoenix. Gates was released from a federal prison in Tucson, Ariz., Tuesday after serving 28 years for a rape and murder that DNA evidence revealed he didn’t commit.

DNA testing clears man who served 28 years in prison WASHINGTON (AP) – A man who spent 28 years behind bars for a rape and murder he said he didn’t commit walked out of a federal prison in Arizona on Tuesday with $75 and a bus ticket to Ohio after DNA testing showed he was innocent. The conviction of Donald Eugene Gates, 58, was based largely on the testimony of an FBI forensic analyst whose work later came under fire

and a hair analysis technique that has been discredited. “I feel beautiful,” Gates told The Associated Press by telephone after leaving the U.S. penitentiary in Tucson, Ariz. Just hours before, the same judge who had presided over Gates’ trial years ago in D.C. Superior Court ordered his release. Prosecutors had agreed Gates should be released. However, at

their request, Senior Judge Fred B. Ugast delayed Gates’ formal exoneration until next week to give the government a chance to conduct one more round of DNA testing. Gates was convicted of the 1981 rape and murder of Catherine Schilling, a 21-year-old Georgetown University student, in Washington’s Rock Creek Park. He was sentenced to 20 years to life in prison.

GOVERNMENT CAMP, Ore. (AP) – Two climbers missing on Mount Hood for the past five days are likely dead and a search will not resume any time soon because of severe avalanche danger, officials said Tuesday. Dr Terri Schmidt, an expert on hypothermia and mountain survival, said there was less than a 1 percent chance that Anthony Vietti and Katie Nolan had survived after going missing on Friday. The body of a third member of their party, Luke Gullberg, 26, of Des Moines, Wash., was found Saturday. Schmidt spoke at a news conference called by rescue officials. She talked with relatives of

the missing climbers earlier in the day about the chances of survival in the extreme conditions on Mount Hood. Steven Rollins, a rescue leader, said search teams would not be going back up the mountain any time soon because of avalanche dangers were made worse by an ongoing storm that has created whiteout conditions. Rollins, with Portland Mountain Rescue, said it would take four to five days of good weather to ease the avalanche risk, but such stretches were rare in the winter on Mount Hood. “We can’t get people off the ground ... our hands are really tied,” Rollins said. “If there is anything we could do we would do it.”

Tourists enjoy White House breakfast WASHINGTON (AP) – It wasn’t a state dinner, and they didn’t crash it on purpose. Still, a Georgia couple who showed up at the White House a day early for a tour somehow wound up at an invitation-only breakfast with President Barack Obama. It left the White House once again explaining how people who were not on an event guest list wound up being ushered into the presidential mansion anyway. The improbable adventure of Harvey and

Paula Darden, Obama supporters from Hogansville, Ga., took place on Veterans Day, two weeks before Virginia socialites Tareq and Michaele Salahi infamously crashed the Obamas’ state dinner. The Dardens mistakenly showed up a day early for a tour scheduled through their congressman. The Secret Service said they went through the appropriate screenings and were allowed into the breakfast as a courtesy because there were no public tours the day they arrived.

Police fatally shoot woman on playground MODESTO, Calif. (AP) – Police say a woman wielding a meat cleaver on an elementary school playground was shot and killed by officers during school hours. Modesto police Sgt. Brian Findlen says officers arrived Tuesday and saw the woman hitting and cutting herself in the upper body with the cleaver. He says two officers opened fire when the woman charged with the cleaver. He was not sure how many times the woman was hit.

Scheyer was 11-of-13 shooting and hit a caAndre Dawkins scored 16 reer-best seven 3-pointers while flirting with a points for Duke, and Miles Plumtriple-double for the Blue Devils (8-1). Scheyer lee and Brian Zoubek scored Duke never trailed, broke the game open 13 points apiece. Nolan Smith with a huge early run and shot 65.2 percent — 60.7 percent in the first half, when this one added 11 and Kyle Singler, playing through a sprained right ankle, also finished with 11 was decided. Auryn MacMillan scored 14 points and C.J. points — all in the second half. But the Blue Devils ultimately didn’t need Hailey added 11 to lead Gardner-Webb (3-5).

that much from their injured star in extending several long streaks at Cameron Indoor Stadium: they won their 74th straight nonconference game there, their 34th in a row at home against unranked teams and their 47th consecutive December home game. Scheyer hit his first seven shots, didn’t miss anything until he rimmed out a 3-pointer in the final seconds of the half, and nearly matched his previous career high of 30 by halftime. Duke all but ended this one by outscoring Gardner-Webb 30-10 during an 11-minute stretch of the opening half.

Gaudio believes UNCW poses ‘no day at the beach’ for Deacons BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

Don’t look for reserve center Ty Walker to get a homecoming start tonight when Wake Forest travels to UNC Wilmington even though he got a career-high 11 minutes of playing time during mop-up work in the Deacons’ 40-point victory over Elon. Wake coach Dino Gaudio believes that the Seahawks provide enough of a challenge that he can’t give Walker a few minutes in the spotlight in front of the home folks and will go with his standard lineup of L.D. Williams, C.J. Harris, Ish Smith, Al-Farouq Aminu and Chas McFarland. “This game will be no day at the beach,” Gaudio said. “I’m a nervous wreck over that game. But I would like to see Ty have the opportunity to go home and play down there. ... He’s been practicing better and he can score inside. He was 2-for-5 shooting and had six rebounds in 11 minutes (against Elon), good for him.” UNCW is just 3-5, but did defeat Elon by 30, topped Penn State by 11 and lost to ACC member

Miami by just seven. “We know going to their house is not going to be easy,” Smith said. “But playing at Purdue and playing at Gonzaga helped us out a lot going on the road.” Hosting the Deacons is part of a three-game stretch for Wilmington that began with a 79-59 victory over Campbell on Monday and ends with a trip to Virginia on Saturday. Chad Tomko, a junior guard, leads the Seahawks in scoring with a 16.4 points per game average. John Fields, a junior forward, averages 14.8 points and a teamhigh 9.4 rebounds per game. Aminu will be trying to end a shooting slump. After hitting 29 of 44 field-goal attempts in the first four games, the sophomore forward has connected on 22 of 40 in the past four. His best effort during the slide was a 4-for-11 outing at Gonzaga. He missed at least four easy shots while going just 3 of 10 against Elon. “I’ve just got to stay more focused,” Aminu said. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

HPU’s Fields named player of the week ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

HIGH POINT – After hitting a game-winning bucket for the High Point University last week, junior guard Frances Field was named Big South Conference women’s basketball player of the week Tuesday. Fields tied a career high in scoring with 17 points against UNC Wilmington, shooting 88 percent from the field and draining the last-second shot of a 67-66 victory for the Panthers. Fields also tallied three assists and two steals

against the Seahawks. In the Panthers’ win over Campbell earlier in the week, Fields Fields collected five points, nine assists and a career-high 10 rebounds in an HPU victory. Mariah Pietrowski of Presbyterian College was named freshman of the week after scoring 21 points to lead the Blue Hose to their first win of the season, 61-47 over South Carolina State.

AP

Head games Adrian Wilson, the former T.W. Andrews and N.C. State standout (left), and San Francisco tight end Vernon Davis finish upside down as Davis catches a touchdown pass on Monday night. Wilson later came up with an interception but couldn’t offset seven Arizona turnovers that played a major role in the 49ers prevailing 24-9.

Tide puts six on All-American team NEW YORK (AP) — Alabama will bring a lineup powered by All-Americans into the BCS national championship game. The top-ranked Crimson Tide had six players, including Heisman Trophy winner Mark Ingram, voted to The Associated Press All-America team released Tuesday — more than any other school. Ingram was a unanimous first-team selection, as was linebacker Rolando McClain. Defensive tackle Terrence Cody was selected for the second consecutive season. Cornerback Javier Arenas, guard Michael Johnson and kicker Leigh Tiffin were also first-teamers. Stanford running back Toby Gerhart, the Heisman runner-up, and Nebraska defensive tackle Ndamu-

kong Suh, who finished fourth in Heisman voting, were also unanimous first-team Spiller All-America selections. Texas quarterback Colt McCoy was the All-American quarterback, selected to the first team by a panel of 14 AP college football poll voters. Florida quarterback Tim Tebow was a second-team selection. Boise State’s Kellen Moore was the third-team quarterback. Clemson’s C.J. Spiller made it as the all-purpose player. Georgia Tech defensive end Derrick Morgan was the only other ACC first-team selection. McCoy was joined by his longtime pal and favorite

receiver, Jordan Shipley, on the first team. Texas safety Earl Thomas gave the LongThomas horns three players on the first team, second only to Alabama. Alabama safety Mark Barron made the thirdteam, giving the Tide seven players who received AP All-America honors. Texas put three players — kicker Hunter Lawrence, center Chris Hall and linebacker Sergio Kindle — on the third team for a total of six overall. Florida also had six players make the three teams, including cornerback Joe Haden and tight end Aaron Hernandez as first-teamers.

T

he numbers don’t lie. The National Football League remains a television juggernaut. Through 13 weeks this season, NFL games averaged 16.8 million viewers per contest. That’s the highest per-game mark through 13 weeks since 1989. All of the networks that televise NFL games have posted significant ratings increases.

A staggering 87 percent of all NFL games shown top the local ratings in their time period. That percentage marks the best local ratings bonanza in NFL history. And nowhere is the NFL bigger than the New Orleans market. When the Saints play, 69 percent of the sets in the Big Easy and surrounding parishes are tuned in to view the NFC South powers. Eighty-four percent of the folks with their

TVs turned on in New Orleans watched the Saints crush the Patriots a few weeks back. Considering the Saints boast a high-powered offense and a big-play defense that seems to score at least one touchdown a week, I’d call New Orleans’ games must-see TV. Apparently, I’m not alone.

WHO’S NEWS

Todd Hays’ brain injury could heal within three months and without surgery, an outstanding prognosis for the U.S. Olympic bobsled veteran who dropped his bid to make the Vancouver Games after learning the extent of damage sustained in a training crash last week. Surgery is not necessary at this time, although Hays will need further evaluation to determine the severity of bleeding in his brain. He’ll also be monitored for the next several weeks but has full neurological function. “Right now, resting and letting the brain heal itself should take care of the problem,” Dr. Eugene Byrne, the USBSF’s chief medical officer, told The Associated Press. Hays, a 2002 silver medalist, retired Monday after being told his injury was worse than the preliminary diagnosis of a concussion. He crashed in a World Cup training run last Wednesday in Germany, and both sledmates and other U.S. teammates immediately knew Hays was seriously hurt.

BASKETBALL HP CENTRAL, EAST FORSYTH KERNERSVILLE – High Point Central’s girls outscored East Forsyth 18-1 in the first quarter and 17-2 in the third en route to a 48-10 romp Tuesday in their Piedmont Triad 4A Conference opener. East scored only four points in the third quarter and three in the fourth in falling to 2-7 for the year. The Bison improved to 5-0. The Bison did it with defense, as Katie Bryson, Arielle Harris and Megan Tate each tallied five steals and Sarah Cox had four. The balanced offensive attack included 10 points each for Harris and Brittany Gwyn, while Tate had eight points and Hadara Bannister seven. Central travels to T. Wingate Andrews on Friday.

PARKLAND, RAGSDALE JAMESTOWN – Ragsdale’s girls shrugged off early deficits of 10-0 and 131 en route to a 48-41 victory over Parkland in Tuesday night’s Piedmont Triad 4A Conference opener. Parkland guard Victoria Davis exploited the Tigers’ man-to-man defense early, but the Mustangs never solved Ragsdale’s 3-2 zone after coach Jerry Fuqua called for a switch. “The girls played well,� Fuqua praised, after his team improved to 6-1 overall. Ciara Jackson led the Tigers with 13 points, while Emma Sonricker and Courtney Marsh had eight each. Davis finished with 19 for the Mustangs, who were outscored 32-10 in the second and third quarters. In the boys game, Ragsdale rolled to a 32-point fourth quarter and pulled away for a 70-59 victory. The Tigers actually trailed 25-24 at the half before Benaiah Wise came through with 13 points in the fourth quarter and Kalik Parker 11. Wise finished with 20 points and Parker had 17 as Ragsdale improved to 3-5 overall. The Tigers play host to East Forsyth on Friday.

They just wore us down.� Taylor Warren scored 23 points and Keaton Hawks had 13 to lead the Eagles, who drained seven 3-pointers on the night. Nick Lopez added nine points and Duncan Bean eight. For Wheatmore – also hurt by 11 missed foul shots – Keegan Dunn tallied 17 points, Ray Edwards had 14 and Dakota White nine. East improved to 3-4, while Wheatmore fell to 2-9.

EAST DAVIDSON 40, CHATHAM 34 TRINITY, ASHEBORO ASHEBORO – Logan Terry scored 16 points, but the Trinity girls couldn’t shake off an early deficit in falling 59-40 at Asheboro on Tuesday night. The Blue Comets got 14 points from Jessica Tennan and 13 from Jessica Staley. Trinity drops to 2-7. In the boys game. Matt Watkins scored 30 but got little support as Trinity went down to its first defeat in eight games this season, 56-50.

Georgia Tech juniors thinking about NFL ATLANTA (AP) — At least four juniors who played lead roles in Georgia Tech’s ACC championship could enter the NFL draft after the Yellow Jackets’ Orange Bowl game against Iowa. Defensive end Derrick Morgan tops the list of juniors who say they will examine their draft options after No. 9 Georgia Tech’s bowl game. Morgan was a first-team All-America pick by The Associated Press on Tuesday. Receiver Demaryius Thomas, a third-team

All-America selection, running back Jonathan Dwyer and safety Morgan Burnett also are possibilities to enter the draft. Georgia Tech will play Iowa in the Jan. 5 Orange Bowl. “I want to play my heart out in this last game to get this bowl win and then we’ll talk about the NFL,� Dwyer said. Morgan and Dwyer are widely regarded as possible first-round picks. Dwyer has 1,346 yards rushing and 14 touchdowns.

Bobcats end Knicks’ streak CHARLOTTE (AP) — Stephen Jackson scored 24 points and keyed a late comeback as the Charlotte Bobcats rallied to end the sloppy New York Knicks’ season-high four-game winning streak, 94-87 on Tuesday night. Gerald Wallace had 21 points and Raymond Felton scored 18, including two driving layups in Charlotte’s game-closing 15-2 run to snap a twogame skid. Despite a subpar game

from ill leading scorer Al Harrington, the Knicks led by 12 late in the third quarter and 85-79 on Jared Jeffries’ layup with 3:58 left. New York managed one field goal the rest of the way and finished with 21 turnovers. Chris Duhon had 18 points for the Knicks but struggled to defend Raymond Felton down the stretch. Wilson Chandler and David Lee had 16 points apiece.

NEW YORK (AP) — The blockbuster trade sending Roy Halladay to Philadelphia and Cliff Lee to Seattle could be completed Wednesday, and it’s become a fourteam swap that involves Toronto shipping a prospect to Oakland. The Blue Jays would send Halladay and $6 million to the Phillies for three minor leaguers: catcher Travis d’Arnaud, right-hander Kyle Drabek and outfielder Michael Taylor. Philadelphia would also deal Lee to the Mariners for a trio of prospects: right-hander Phillippe Aumont, outfielder Tyson Gillies and righthander Juan Ramirez. Toronto would then trade Taylor to the Athletics for third baseman

Brett Wallace, obtained by Oakland last July from St. Louis in the deal for outfielder Matt Holliday. Halladay would receive a $60 million, threeyear contract extension through 2013 with the Phillies, a deal that would include a 2014 option. New Toronto general manager Alex Anthopoulos moved quickly to deal Halladay, who will make $15.75 million next year and had been eligible for free agency after the season. The deal fell into place at about the same time Boston — which also had been interested — reached a preliminary agreement with freeagent pitcher John Lackey on a five-year contract worth $80 million to $87.5 million.

Panthers place Otah on IR CHARLOTTE (AP) — The hits keep coming for the injury-plagued Panthers. Carolina on Tuesday placed right tackle Jeff Otah on injured reserve and signed offensive lineman Rob Petitti. Otah tore the meniscus in his left knee Sunday against New England and becomes the 10th player to be lost for the season. General manager Marty Hurney says Otah will

undergo surgery. His loss means Carolina will be without both starting tackles from the start of the season. Jordan Gross broke his leg last month. Inexperienced Geoff Schwartz will likely start at right tackle on Sunday against Minnesota. The 6-foot-6, 327-pound Petitti started all 16 games for Dallas as a rookie in 2005, but has in played only six games since with St. Louis and New Orleans.

Rep claims Woods received legal treatment by doctor under probe NEW YORK (AP) — A Canadian doctor who has treated golfer Tiger Woods, swimmer Dara Torres and NFL players is suspected of providing athletes with performance-enhancing drugs, according to a newspaper report. Human growth hormone and Actovegin, a drug extracted from calf’s blood, in Dr. Anthony Galea’s bag at the U.S.-Canada border in late September, The New York Times reported. He was arrested Oct. 15 in To-

ronto by Canadian police. Using, selling or importing Actovegin is illegal in the United States. The FBI has opened an investigation based in part on medical records found on Galea’s computer relating to several professional athletes, people briefed on the inquiry told the Times on condition of anonymity because they did not want to be identified discussing a continuing investigation. The anonymous sources did

not disclose the names of the athletes, and Galea told the newspaper “it would be impossible� for investigators to have found material linking his athletes to performance-enhancing drugs. According to the newspaper, Galea has developed a bloodspinning technique — plateletrich plasma therapy — to help speed post-surgery recovery. Galea visited Woods’ home in Florida at least four times in February and March, the

newspaper reported, to provide that platelet therapy after his agents were concerned by his slow recovery from June 2008 knee surgery. Asked about Woods’ involvement with Galea, agent Mark Steinberg told the newspaper in an e-mail: “I would really ask that you guys don’t write this? If Tiger is NOT implicated, and won’t be, let’s please give the kid a break.� According to the report, Galea said Woods was referred

to him by the golfer’s agents at International Management Group. However, Steinberg sent an email to the AP on Tuesday that said: “No one at IMG has ever met or recommended Dr. Galea, nor were we worried about the progress of Tiger’s recovery, as the Times falsely reported. The treatment Tiger received is a widely accepted therapy and to suggest some connection with illegality is recklessly irresponsible.�

Big Ten to explore adding 12th school CHICAGO (AP) — The Big Ten might be getting bigger. Commissioner Jim Delany said Tuesday the conference is going to explore options over the next 12 to 18 months for expanding the league. The league’s presidents and chancellors decided this month that the timing is right to study adding a 12th school. The Big Ten said in a statement it also looked at expansion in 1993, 1998 and 2003. Penn State joined in 1990, and

Notre Dame rejected an offer in 1999. The league said no action on expansion is expected soon. It said it hopes to gather information before engaging in formal discussions with any schools. The conference actually has 11 football teams, despite its name. Wisconsin athletic director Barry Alvarez last week told the university’s board that he thinks the conference is serious about adding a 12th team, though

Delany as recently as March called expansion a “back-burner� issue. Notre Dame, with its campus in South Bend, Ind., and a football independent with a lucrative and exclusive TV contract, rejected an offer 10 years ago. Most of the school’s other athletic teams compete in the Big East. Earlier this year, Penn State coach Joe Paterno said he’d like to see Rutgers, Pittsburgh or Syracuse join the league.

Selig names committee to study on-field issues NEW YORK (AP) — With critics calling for expanded video review of umpires’ calls and some players pushing to expand the first round of the playoffs, baseball commissioner Bud Selig established a committee of managers and longtime executives. Managers Tony La Russa, Jim Leyland, Joe Torre and Mike Scioscia were selected Tuesday for the “special committee for on-field matters,�

which Selig will chair and will meet for the first time next month. Hall of Famer Frank Robinson, who is black, was the only minority picked for the panel. Scioscia was livid with the number of off days during the postseason, and Selig promised to re-examine the format, which added four extra off-days starting in 2007 at the behest of the sport’s broadcast networks. “This is not a reaction

to some of the things that happened during the playoffs,� Selig said. “I’m not saying that it didn’t keep moving me along in this direction because it did, but frankly I had this in mind for a long time.� The group will examine scheduling, umpiring, the strike zone and pace of game, which again became an issue when Yankees catcher Jorge Posada made frequent trips to the mound during the postseason.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald (11) walks on the sidelines during the third quarter the Cardinals’ 24-9 loss to the San Francisco 49ers Monday night. Fitzgerald was to have an MRI on his injured right knee but he indicated on his Twitter account on Tuesday that he is “sore but OK.�

Fitzgerald’s status uncertain TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — All-Pro wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald has a bruised bone and a sprained right knee, leaving his status uncertain for the Arizona Cardinals’ game Sunday at Detroit. The Cardinals said an MRI on Tuesday determined the extent of the injury but showed no more significant damage. Fitzgerald was hurt on the third play of the third quarter of Monday night’s game at San Francisco when the 49ers’ Dashon Goldson landed on his leg on a deep pass

attempt. Fitzgerald was helped off the field, then went to the locker room. He returned to the game with 3:23 to play. Fitzgerald said on Twitter on Monday night that he was “sore but OK.� Asked again on Tuesday, he answered he was “sore but straight.� Arizona coach Ken Whisenhunt said safety Matt Ware did not have a torn ACL as was initially feared. Whisenhunt said it is uncertain how much damage Ware had in the knee and when he might return. “We’re fairly certain that it’s not an injury that

FRE FR FREE REE EE Diagn

requires an operation, which is a good thing,� the coach said. Kicker Neil Rackers aggravated a nagging groin injury. Whisenhunt said the cool, damp conditions at Candlestick Park were a factor in Rackers’ problems. “We’re obviously going to have to assess him and see where it is and if he can continue in this cycle or how we go from there,� Whisenhunt said. If a new kicker is needed for Sunday’s game at Detroit, the addition wouldn’t have to be made until later in the week, Whisenhunt said.

Holmgren meets with Browns again CLEVELAND (AP) — The Cleveland Browns may have finally found their leader. Former Seattle and Green Bay coach Mike Holmgren, with one Super Bowl title and success brimming from an impressive NFL resume, is spending his second day meeting with the Browns about running their football operations.

Holmgren arrived Monday after being invited by Cleveland owner Randy Lerner. He was again at team headquarters in Berea, Ohio, on Tuesday along with his agent, Bob LaMonte. Holmgren is not scheduled to leave Tuesday, a sign that could indicate the sides are working out details on a contract. Browns spokesman Bill Bonsiewicz said Hol-

mgren was scheduled to meet with coach Eric Mangini, but did not know if that meeting has taken place. The length of Holmgren’s stay — and LaMonte’s inclusion — points to his strong interest in taking over the Browns, who have struggled since returning to the league as an expansion team in 1999.

Indy trims schedule for 500 INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Indianapolis 500 will cut one week out of its traditional schedule in May. The track will open May 15, a week later than normal, and there will be only two days of qualifying instead of four. Pole Day will be

May 22. Bump Day will be May 23. The race week schedule will remain unchanged. The Indianapolis Star first reported the story. In a release, series officials acknowledged they hoped the new schedule would help teams save money. Fewer days on

the track also will help the Indianapolis Motor Speedway cut costs. The format is not entirely new. The speedway adopted a onequalifying weekend following the split of the Indy Racing League and the now defunct CART series.

NEW YORK (AP) – The stock market fell for the first time in five days and Treasurys slipped after a jump in inflation stoked concerns that the Federal Reserve would be forced to raise interest rates. Stocks extended their losses late in the day Tuesday after General Electric Co. forecast that revenue and earnings would be largely flat in 2010. Major stocks indexes fell 0.5 percent from 14month highs, including the Dow Jones industrial average, which lost 49 points. Trading was subdued as Fed policymakers gathered for a two-day meeting on interest rates. The Fed isn’t

The government said wholesale prices jumped 1.8 percent last month, more than double the gain analysts expected. Core inflation, which excludes oftenvolatile food and energy costs, rose 0.5 percent, the biggest increase in more than a year. The Dow fell 49.05, or 0.5 percent, to 10,452.00.

flationary pressures. One reminder was a separate report Tuesday that wholesale inflation surprisingly surged last month. Still, many analysts said the economy remains so weak that they didn’t think the price increases would last. The Federal Reserve begans a two-day meeting Tuesday and likely will weigh the bigger-than-expected increases in indus-

trial output and wholesale prices. But Fed policymakers aren’t expected to raise a key rate at the end of their meeting Wednesday. The Fed has kept rates at record-low levels to bolster the shaky recovery. Stronger activity at mines led last month’s increase in industrial production, rising 2.1 percent. The manufacturing sector rose

1.1 percent. Utilities fell 1.8 percent, according to the Fed report. Wholesale prices jumped 1.8 percent in November, the Labor Department said. That’s more than double the 0.8 percent gain analysts had expected. Core inflation, which excludes energy and food, rose 0.5 percent, the sharpest increase in more than a year.

OPEC revises 2010 world oil demand sumer appetite for its chief export. The 12-nation Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries said in its December Monthly Oil Market Report that world oil demand was expected

to increase by 800,000 barrels per day to 85.13 million barrels per day, largely from developing countries. That’s a 70,000 barrel per day upward revision from its November forecast.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Evidence that manufacturers are helping the economy slowly recover emerged Tuesday in a report that industrial production rose a better-than-expected 0.8 percent in November. The gain showed that consumers are spending more, causing manufacturers to produce more goods. Eventually, the economic rebound could raise in-

OPEC noted that oil inventories remain exceedingly high in developed nations and ample stocks of refined petroleum products could continue to affect demand and, as a result, oil prices.

CEO: GM to repay loans by June DETROIT – General Motors Co. plans to pay all of its $6.7 billion in government loans by the end of June, Chairman and CEO Ed Whitacre Jr. said Tuesday. The automaker plans to make quarterly installments starting this month with a $1.2 billion payment, Whitacre said. He said GM could repay the loan sooner but that hasn’t been decided. GM has received $52 billion total in aid from the government as it navigated bankruptcy protection earlier this year.

British Airways seeks order to stop strike LONDON – British Airways sought a court injunction Tuesday to prevent a 12-day strike by cabin crew that would cause havoc for 1 million travelers over the Christmas and New Year’s holidays. British Airways PLC said it was seeking to stop the planned walkout on the grounds that the Unite union ballot of some 13,000 members contained “irregularities,” including votes from people no longer employed by the airline. The carrier said that was a “clear breach” of trade union and labor laws. ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

FCC seeks to close programming loophole WASHINGTON (AP) – Federal regulators are seeking to close a loophole that allows cable TV operators to withhold sporting events and other popular programming that they own from rivals such as satellite TV. Federal rules require cable TV operators to grant competitors access to their programming if it is transmitted over satellite connections. Comcast Corp. and Cox

Communications Inc. are among those that have managed to avoid those obligations by sending popular sports programs over landlines instead. The Federal Communications Commission will consider and soon vote on an order to close the so-called “terrestrial loophole.” That comes as the agency begins its regulatory review of Comcast’s proposal to take control of NBC Universal.

Homebuilder index dips in December LOS ANGELES (AP) – Even a holiday gift from Uncle Sam couldn’t brighten the homebuilders’ outlook in December. The National Association of Home Builders said Tuesday its housing market index fell by one point to 16 this month, reflecting concern that job losses and a slow economic recovery will continue to stifle demand for new homes despite the extension of a federal tax credit for buyers. The latest reading is the lowest since June, when it fell to 15. This was also the first monthly decline since October. The worsening outlook was something of a surprise because it came one month after the industry received a major boost

from Congress and the Obama administration. New home sales got a lift this year from low mortgage interest rates and an $8,000 federal tax credit for first-time homebuyers. The incentive was set to expire on Nov. 30, but Congress extended it through April and expanded it to include $6,500 for existing homeowners. “This is shaping up to be a bumpy recovery period for the housing market,” said David Crowe, the NAHB’s chief economist. “While some families may be just starting to factor the expanded tax credit into their potential home buying plans, many are hesitating because of the poor economy.”

Boeing says 787 finally will fly

Best Buy profit rises NEW YORK (AP) – Customers snapping up electronics and gift cards for the holidays boosted Best Buy’s third-quarter profit, but the nation’s largest electronics retailer said Tuesday that shoppers are focused on prices, particularly of TVs and computers. Best Buy predicted consumers will stay that way in the fourth quarter, squeezing its profit

margin. That forecast sent the retailer’s shares down nearly 8 percent from their highest level in a year. Still, Best Buy Inc. raised its annual profit and revenue forecasts and said both traffic and shoppers’ average spending rose from a year ago. Sales at Best Buy stores that have been open at least one year – a key retail measure – rose more

than 10 percent Thanksgiving weekend, CEO Brian Dunn said in a conference call with analysts. Half the gain came from higher traffic and half from customers spending more. Best Buy’s Web sales rose 20 percent in the third quarter, which ended on Nov. 28, the Saturday after Thanksgiving, from a year earlier.

EVERETT, Wash. – Weather permitting, Boeing Co. plans to finally get its new 787 jetliner into the air Tuesday, more than two years after it had intended. The test aircraft completed its ground tests during the weekend, including a 150-mph dash down the runway at Everett’s Paine Field during which its nose gear briefly lifted off the pavement. Tuesday morning, pilots Michael Carriker and Randall Neville hope to take the 787 on a four-hour flight over Washington state, beginning the extensive flight test program needed to obtain the plane’s Federal Aviation Administration certification.

Oil rebounds after nine-day drop NEW YORK – Oil prices rose sharply Tuesday for the first time in nine days with OPEC predicting energy demand will rebound faster than it had thought. Benchmark crude for January delivery increased $1.18 to $70.69 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. In London, Brent crude for January delivery rose 52 cents to $72.41 a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange. Prices headed upward just after the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries said it expected the world would consume 70,000 barrels more crude next year than previous estimates.
