den of Tracer Place. Both suspects were charged with first-degree murder and jailed without bond. Police on Tuesday were not releasing additional information about the shooting. The investigation into what precipitated the incident was said to be ongoing and detectives

were “looking for more information, as much as they can get,” said police Lt. Steve Myers. Southside has been the object of special attention since police launched an initiative aimed at stamping out open-air drug markets and associated violence in the neighborhood in 2006. “Lately, it’s been pretty quiet,” Myers said. “Every now and then, a spot within the Southside initiative area will flare up, and we jump on it pretty hard.” Police said Gilbert was from the Southside area. He was taken to High Point Re-

gional Hospital, where he died shortly after arriving. Court records for Guilford County show McFadden faces pending misdemeanor charges of assault by pointing a gun and communicating threats that are unrelated to Monday’s incident. Mack has no other pending criminal charges. This was the city’s third homicide of 2009. Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call High Point Crimestoppers at 889-4000 or Detective Hosier at 887-7835. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

GUILFORD COUNTY – School district leaders will get a report soon from Guilford County Schools Superintendent Mo Green about his visit to China earlier this month as part of a program designed to strengthen and expand Chinese language offerings in U.S. schools. Green and district Chief Academic Officer Beth Folger were among 400 U.S. school district leaders participating in the oneweek Chinese Bridge Delegation’s “Taking the Next Step.” The trip was one way for the district to explore more opportunities for students to become fluent in a second language and expand their cultural and global explorations. The district’s strategic plan calls for expanding world language offerings and instruction to help students become globally competitive. When it came time for Green to offer comments during a Guilford County Board of Education on meeting on Thursday, he promised a report later on the China trip due to time restraints. “It was an enriching experience,” he said.

Court backs video poker ban off Cherokee land RALEIGH (AP) – North Carolina’s appeals court on Tuesday upheld a statewide ban on video poker machines except those operated by the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians in their Smoky Mountains casino. A three-judge court panel ruled unanimously that a 2006 state law giving the tribe exclusive gaming rights within North Carolina does not violate a federal Indian gaming law as an amusement machine vendor had argued. The tribe operates Harrah’s Cherokee Casino, which attracts more than 3.5 million visitors a year and generates revenues of more than $250 million annually. Tribal members in June received checks for $3,892 in the first of this year’s twicea-year payments. The ruling overturned a February decision by Wake County Superior Court Judge Howard Manning that sided with the gaming company and could have again legalized video poker machines in all 100 counties. But the appeals court said the federal Indian Gaming

Regulatory Act allows states to grant tribes preferential gaming rights in hopes the revenues would expand tribal self-government, economic development, and political stability. Invalidating the state video poker ban would mean “the tribe would no longer have preferential gaming rights, but instead would be in competition with other gaming enterprises,” Judge Robert C. Hunter wrote for himself and Judges Martha Geer and Linda Stephens. “This is great news. We worked for so long to try to rid our state of this awful industry,” state Senate leader Marc Basnight, DDare, said in a statement. Amusement machine owners who once installed video poker machines in convenience stores and bars saw the case as one prong of their attempts to restore the business. Their supporters proposed state legislation this year that would give North Carolina a 20 percent cut in video poker profits in exchange for regulation backers said would clean up the industry.

Government control of health care will fail Affordable health care in America will never be carried out successfully under the control of the federal government. This bill has absolutely nothing to do with affordable health care for everyone. It is all about expanding government control and intrusion into people’s ability to make their own choices with their body. The redistribution of wealth is something else that most Americans resent, particularly when the money we work for pays for benefits to illegal aliens, a real issue that the government seems to have no interest in attacking. Virtually no other business that the federal government has ever taken over would not have been better off and cost the taxpayers less if left to the private sector. Too, if you are interested in real-life proof of the failure of socialist health care programs, then look at any number of other countries that have adopted programs such as these. So, in case I’ve left doubt, I am very much against a government-run health care system. LEE C. FORD Julian

Jesus is the Alpha (beginning) and Omega (ending), the first and the last, the equal part, the height, the depth, the resurrection, the life, the healer, the deliverer, the “Anointed One;” so Jesus is “all for all” “The Salvation” of mankind!

All things (spiritual, material stuff) were made through Jesus, and without Jesus, nothing or no one that was made, could be made. In Jesus was and is all life, and Jesus’ life is the light for mankind.

t’s looks as though Senate Democrats are going to get their Christmas wish. Excitement will build Thursday in anticipation of a visit from Santa and Friday’s celebration by Christians of the birth of Jesus. But by midmorning on Christmas Eve, the U.S. Senate is expected to have given final approval to a massive health care reform bill. That means, of course, that negotiations with the U.S. House to reconcile differences with a bill passed by that body soon will begin. Before long, the nation will have health care reform. ... Ouch. For all the rhetoric about how the proposals represent our caring for our fellow Americans and about how having good health care should be a birthright, congressional Democrats have come up with two bills that are more about increasing government control of our lives than offering a cost-efficient way of helping those among the estimated/(inflated?) nearly 50 million uninsured people who want insurance to get it. Instead, the proposal that soon will be rammed through by congressional Democrats and signed by President Obama will swell the numbers of people in government health care programs, will increase its body of rules and regulations over private businesses and industries and will impose more taxes and penalties on businesses and individuals who would rather not play by the Democrats’ rules. There’s also the matter of raising income taxes on some, cutting Medicare funds for others and adding whatever other revenue grabs have been added to fund the initiative and the massive pork projects that were included to buy the support of Democratic Party members. And then there’s the absence of tort reform to cap the amounts of awards in medical liability lawsuits in either bill and the likelihood that House-passed language to remove the insurance industry from some anti-trust legislation won’t fly. Plus, add in the fact that neither the House-passed nor the Senate-passed bill will result in the insuring of the entire population of legal Americans. So basically what we will have is the expansion of federal government control in our everyday lives and a bigger federal government hand grabbing cash from our pockets and giving it to selected others. ... Ouch.

This latest edition is once again by far the best college guide in America. Like many of us, it has put on weight over the years and is now 1,084 pages long, but its weight is all muscle. First of all, “Choosing the Right College” asks the right question: What is the right college for you, not what is the “best” college by some formula for ranking colleges and universities. In addition to a thorough examination of the academic realities at these institutions, it goes into the social atmosphere, which can make or break the whole college experience in terms of what is right for a particular student. College is, after all, not just a school but a home, for four long years – usually for people who are living away from home for the first time in their lives. Being in the wrong place, in terms of neighbors and atmosphere, can ruin the academic advantages of even the best institution. This book helps match particular students with particular places, which is what is crucial. My own books published this year include “The Housing Boom and Bust,” which made the New York Times bestseller list. Another book of mine this year was the revised and enlarged edition of “Applied Economics,” which has a long chapter on the economics of medical care, including the experience of other countries that have gone down the road to government control of medicine. Their experience should be a warning to us all. THOMAS SOWELL, a native of North Carolina, is a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305.

ne way to reduce the wear and tear of Christmas shopping at the mall is to give books as presents. Books can be bought on the Internet, and they can be matched to the person who receives them without having to know that person’s measurements. Dick Morris’ new book – “Catastrophe” – is an education in itself, on politics, on economics and on foreign policy. It is a strong antidote to the pious rhetoric and spin that come out of Washington and the media. Partly this is because Morris was once a Beltway insider – an adviser to President Bill Clinton – who knows firsthand the ugly realities behind the pretty words that politicians use and that much of the media repeat. Morris’ argument in “Catastrophe” – whose title tells us where he sees us headed – is backed up by numerous hard facts and supported by an understanding of history and economics. Most of all, it is supported by an understanding of politics as it is, rather than the way it is depicted by politicians and the media. Morris cuts through a blizzard of political spin with a few plain words. In describing Barack Obama’s economic policies, Morris says simply: “Curing the recession was not his end; it was his means to the end. The end was bigger government.” Obama’s actions often make no sense if you believe Obama’s words, but they do make sense if you follow Morris’ analysis. A revised edition of Angelo Codevilla’s classic book, “The Character of Nations,” has been published this year, and it too is an education in itself. “The Character of Nations” is less focused on immediate domestic political issues – though it does analyze the contrasting responses of the intelligentsia to Sarah Palin and Barack Obama – but it is focused more on the underlying cultural developments that affect how nations work – or don’t work. The very title of “The Character of Nations” is a challenge to the prevailing ideology that denies or downplays underlying differences among individuals, groups and nations. There are many examples of these differences. For example, Codevilla says: “While it is unimaginable to do business in China without paying bribes, to offer one in Japan is the greatest faux pas.” He sees the things that are valued differently in different cultures as the key to everything from economic progress to personal freedom. But these values are not set in stone – which means that countries

n Dec. 25 in 1928, my great-great-grandmother June Harrison was living in Colorado with her husband, a retired captain and veteran of World War I, and children. June was awakened early that morning by a knock on the door from a neighbor, who had stopped by to tell her about a woman living in town with several children and little money. The neighbor was collecting donations from the houses to help the family celebrate. June roused everyone in the house to help her pack up the festivities: tree, ornaments, gifts, food and drink. They loaded everything into my great-great-grandfather’s car and drove it to the nearby house. The Harrisons had dinner at the local diner on Christmas Day that year. It’s the sort of story that has been passed down in my family for generations as a reminder of how generous and kind people are capable of being. I forget that, sometimes, when the news becomes, as it often does, a barrage of tragedy, death and famine and disease. Some of it is sensationalism. Some of it is just sad. Every time someone in my family tells that story, I get something new out of it. This year, the message is that I cannot fix everything. Self-evident? Maybe. But it is difficult to resign myself to inaction, whether because of my age, my job or my distance. I do what I can. It is unlikely that my family will pack up our Christmas trappings and drive them to someone else’s house. My charitable offering this year is more indirect: I plan to donate to Planned Parenthood. Rep. Bart Stupak’s, D-Mich., amendment to the House health care bill would prohibit federally subsidized insurance plans from offering abortion services. Whatever your feelings on abortion are, that would lead to a huge number of women unable

to afford hygienic abortions in clinics. That would not prevent these abortions from taking place. It would mean instead that these women would be forced to seek unsanitary abortions conducted by unqualified practitioners. That is a procedure I would TEEN not wish on my worst enemy. VIEW Planned Parenthood offers the option of a safe and clean pregMeredith nancy termination, and helps Jones prevent future need by distribut■■■ing contraception and information about sexual health. My school’s branch of the National Honor Society plans to donate to Heifer International, an organization that distributes animals to families in need around the world based on the give-a-man-a-fish concept of charity. Give a man an egg and he will eat for a day; give a man a chicken and he will eat for years, and then sell the eggs to buy another chicken. Those donating can choose which animal to give. The choices vary in price and range from rabbits to water buffalo. In this case, we thought we might give a man a llama. I can’t make the world better in a single stroke, but I can improve a small corner of it through my actions. My great-great-grandmother didn’t have the enormous array of opportunities to be charitable that we do. Web sites like CharityNavigator.org allow you to find a charity that appeals to you, and others, like FreeRice.com, allow you to help lessen world hunger by vocabulary skills alone. Please take advantage of them this year. There is no amount too small to give. Teen View columnist MEREDITH JONES is a senior at the Early College at Guilford.

East Coast snowstorm took toll on holiday sales

AP

Holiday shoppers walk in New York Tuesday after major snowstorm.

NEW YORK (AP) – Super Saturday – the last Saturday before Christmas and usually ranked as the biggest or secondbiggest sales day of the year – got walloped by a big East Coast snow storm that kept many shoppers at home. Merchants are bracing – and hoping – for an even bigger-than-usual last-

minute spending surge from shoppers who, according to several surveys, are well behind on their holiday purchases compared to previous years. Several stores, including Target Corp. and Toys R Us, announced earlier this week they will extend their hours to accommodate shoppers in the final days before Christmas.

Democrats, White House predict success on health care WASHINGTON (AP) – From the White House to Capitol Hill, Democrats on Tuesday confidently predicted Senate passage of President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul after the bill cleared its second 60-vote test and the time was set for a final tally. Coming to the Senate floor in the middle of the afternoon, Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., announced an agreement to vote on final passage at 8 a.m. Thursday, Christmas Eve. It would mark the 25th consecutive day of Senate debate on health care. “The finish line is in sight,� Finance

Committee Chairman Max Baucus, DMont., said at a news conference with other Senate leaders and supporters. “We’re not the first to attempt such reforms but we will be the first to succeed.� At the White House, spokesman Robert Gibbs declared: “Health care reform is not a matter of if. Health care reform is now a matter of when.� Obama said the Senate legislation accomplishes 95 percent of what he wanted on health care. “Every single criteria for reform I put forward is in this bill,� the president said in an interview with The Washington Post.

Archdale subdivision is back on track BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

ARCHDALE – Construction of homes in the first phase of a new subdivision has been given the go-ahead by the Archdale City Council. At its meeting Tuesday night, the City Council gave the green light on the final plat on Diamond’s Keep subdivision, located off of Archdale Road. The approval means

construction can begin immediately. In July 2007, the City Council approved the preliminary plat for the subdivision. The project, however, took a hit from the economy, said Gary White, the subdivision’s developer, adding that the final plat was intended to be completed a year ago. “Timing is horrible, but I think we have got a lot of interest now,” White said. “People are coming to us. We’ve got some lots closed

and some closings (today). It’s picking up.” For the first phase of the project, the single-family residential subdivision is comprised of 62 lots, located on 32 acres along four streets. The subdivision is located on property once occupied by the Spillman Christmas Tree Farm. The subdivision will consist of two or three phases depending on the economy, White said. Jeff Wells, Archdale’s planning director, told

the City Council said that the streets and utilities of the first phase have been inspected the city’s Public Works Department and planning staff. Infrastructure has been installed satisfactory to city standards based on field inspections and as-built construction plans, according to Wells. According to White, the entire subdivision encompasses 205 lots, with a 29acre proposed city park adjacent to it. White said construction on the homes

in the first phase should begin next week, with some being completed in four or five months. In other business, the City Council agreed to rezone city-owned property at 10437 S. Main St. from residential to office and industrial. The city recently purchased the land and voluntary annexed it into the city during its November City Council meeting. dignasiak@hpe.com 888-3657

BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – The chances of a White Christmas in the region are fading like the melting snow and ice from last week’s storm. The National Weather Service indicated Tuesday that a weather system pushing across the country and expected to reach the Southeast later this week isn’t likely to bring snow here. The system may produce a brief period of freezing rain early Friday morning, but no accumulation of ice is expected. The precipitation will turn quickly to rain, said Barrett Smith, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service regional office in Raleigh. “When the rain starts, likely early Friday morning, any freezing rain will quickly turn over to all rain. We’re not anticipating any kind of issues at the moment, and it’s still uncertain whether it will be cold enough at the onset for any freezing rain,” Smith said Tuesday. Meteorologists aren’t expecting the amount of rain later this week to cause any flash flooding problems on top of the water draining into creeks and rivers from melting snow and ice. The rain should end by Friday night, ushering in a period of several dry days, Smith said Tuesday. “I don’t think we’ll get enough rain (Friday) to cause any flooding. We’re not talking two or three days of rain coming up. Most of it is going to fall within 18 hours,” said Tom Kines, senior meteorologist with AccuWeather. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

CHEER FUND

Donations give a boost to Cheer Fund ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

The 2009 Christmas Cheer Fund has received $1,160 today. That brings the total in donations to $26,489. 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 pub-

lished Dec. 12, 1924. 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 occurred on Saturday at Mount Vernon Baptist Church, 716 Leonard Ave., but Cheer Fund donations to help pay for

this year’s presents will be received through the end of December. Lists of donors will be published in the Enterprise through Christmas Eve. Donations should be made out to Christmas Cheer Fund and mailed to P.O. Box 5467, High Point, NC 27261.

Centenarian voter lauded by Obama dies at 107 ATLANTA (AP) – Ann Nixon Cooper, the Atlanta centenarian lauded by President Barack Obama in his election night speech last year, has died. She was 107. Obama in his 2008 speech called Cooper an example of “the heartbreak and the hope� of the past century. He noted she was born at a time when women and blacks couldn’t vote and lived to cast her ballot for the country’s first black president. In a statement Tuesday, Obama praised Cooper’s life of service and offered his condolences. “It is especially meaningful for me that she lived to cast a vote on Election Day 2008, and it was a deep honor for me to mark her life in the speech I delivered that night,� the state-

ment read. “It was a life that captured the spirit of community and Cooper change and progress that is at the heart of the American experience; a life that inspired and will continue to inspire me in the years to come.� Carl M. Williams Funeral Directors of Atlanta, which is handling arrangements, confirmed that Cooper died Monday at her southwest Atlanta home on Martin Luther King Jr. Drive. She would have turned 108 on Jan. 9. On Inauguration Day, she proudly hosted a full house of media and guests to watch Obama take office – a feat for which she took partial credit.

Two die as train hits car; baby survives

SONNY HEDGECOCK | HPE

Aging barn This old tobacco barn, built with logs in 1922, sits idle in the snow on an area farm. When this barn was built and put to use, a wood fire cured the tobacco and required around the clock attention to keep the heat at an appropriate temperature. This type of tobacco curing ended in the early 1950s when barns were converted to oil burners.

RALEIGH (AP) – North Carolina’s highest court is looking to resolve a rancorous dispute over the fate of violent inmates sentenced to “life� three decades ago, with justices on Tuesday setting a hurried schedule for arguments while keeping the prisoners behind bars. The decision to hear the matter comes after lowercourt judges issued conflicting rulings and Gov. Beverly Perdue declared herself “disgusted� with the legal system. Justices will now determine

whether convicted killers Alford Jones and Faye Brown have qualified for sentence-reduction credits that could wipe away the remainder of their time in prison. Dozens more inmates – many of them murderers and rapists – were sentenced under the same 1970s law and could be affected by a high court decision. State officials have determined that some two dozen would immediately qualify for release if credits are applied to reduce their sentences. Supreme

Court clerk Christie Cameron said Tuesday that justices have expedited the schedule for written filings and oral arguments could be held in February. Sarah Jessica Farber, an attorney for Jones and Brown who has argued that they are being unlawfully detained, said she and the inmates were pleased the court accelerated the case schedule. “They both trust that the process will work itself out,� she said. “We’re all taking this just one day at a time.�

Couple’s family planning is headed for serious crash

D

ear Abby: My husband and I have been married two wonderful years. I was recently in a serious car accident and am currently unable to drive. The person who mainly drives me around is my husband, but sometimes friends and family take me to my appointments or to run errands. Recently my husband announced that he will no longer take me to buy my birth control pills because he’s ready to have a child and doesn’t want to wait. Since I am out of work, I have no money of my own and must rely solely on him for support. Because he is no longer willing to provide me with the funds to buy birth control, I am unable to ask anyone else to give me a ride to the pharmacy. When we have sex, he refuses to use protection. Although I want children in the future, I do not feel ready to have any now. We married young and still have years ahead of us to get pregnant and be active parents. Please tell me what to do. I’m afraid if I refuse to have a baby with him he will leave or, when I am ready, decide our time to start a family has passed. I love him and would do anything for him. Should I just give in, and is it really worth a fight? – Not Quite Ready in Colorado Dear Not Quite

Ready: You and your husband need professional mediation NOW. You should not ADVICE be strongarmed into Dear having Abby a child, ■■■which is what your husband is attempting to do. Women who become pregnant under the circumstances you have described often feel trapped and resentful, which can negatively affect their ability to parent. If you were so seriously injured in the accident that you can’t drive or work, it’s questionable that you are even healthy enough to start a pregnancy. What’s happening is all wrong, and my alarm bells are blaring. If this is the way joint decisions are made in your marriage, there is real serious trouble ahead for you. So no, you should not just give in, and yes, it really is worth a fight – or, at the very least, further discussion. Dear Abby: My sisterin-law is in the process of losing weight. We’re all very proud of her. The problem is, whenever we are around her, she goes on and on about what she did or did not eat that day. She also gives us disapproving looks or makes unwel-

come comments about what we are eating. We have tried to gently change the subject, but it always goes back to food. Is there anything we can do or say to stop this without hurting her feelings? – Hungry For Advice in Longview, Texas Dear Hungry For Advice: When someone is dieting, her (or his) life is centered on food – food that is allowed, food that is forbidden, etc. In fact, in many cases when people diet, they become more focused on and more obsessed with food than folks who are bingeing. As long as your sisterin-law is dieting, she probably won’t change. Only when she accepts that her new eating habits have become her lifestyle will food stop being uppermost in her thoughts. Because her constant harping makes you uncomfortable, gently recommend that she join a weight-loss support group. There she will receive positive feedback from others who are experiencing her journey – and with luck you’ll be subjected to fewer of the details. DEAR ABBY is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

A witness said other people who saw the wreck pulled the baby from the back seat of the car and cared for it until EMS workers arrived. A twisted baby stroller lay in high weeds about 20 yards from where the car came to rest. Caitlyn Holder, who lives about a mile from the crash site, was stopped in a line of cars heading north and waiting to cross the tracks when the accident occurred. “None of the lights were working. They weren’t flashing, which for this spot, is no surprise,� she said. “It happens constantly.� The accident is the second fatal train-vehicle collision in the past week in the Triangle. Two brothers were killed and their mother was injured when a train and an SUV collided Dec. 9 near the intersection of Ellis Road and Angier Avenue in Durham.

How does not having a spleen affect my health? – B.R. It hasn’t had much of an impact on your health for 47 years. However, the spleen is one of our defenses against infection. It makes antibodies against germs. Even though you’ve not had any serious infection for all these years, you must keep your immunizations up to date, and you should get the pneumonia shot. That shot protects you from the pneumococcus (NEWmoe-KOK-us) germ, the germ that causes the most prevalent kind of pneumonia. Without a spleen, people who contract a pneumococcal infection are in great danger of dying from it. The vaccine will give you the protection you need. Everyone over 65 should have this vaccine. DR.

Coroner looking into leak of Murphy information

LOS ANGELES (AP) – Coroner’s officials are looking into how the celebrity Web site TMZ obtained details on prescription drugs contained in an investigator’s report on the death of Brittany Murphy. Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter said Tuesday he didn’t know how TMZ obtained the confidential report, and he was concerned other aspects of the investigation could be leaked. “I’m furious,” Winter

said. “We don’t normally release partial information. If partial information goes out, it of course makes us look bad. Everybody ought to get it at the same time.” Murphy, 32, died on Sunday after collapsing at her Hollywood Hills home.

about his private life and the bureau apparently never developed any solid evidence against him. In 2004, the Santa Maria Police Department asked for FBI “involvement” after Jackson was arrested for child molestation.

Save cash on do-ahead hors d’oeuvres BY JIM ROMANOFF FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A

homemade hors d’oeuvre beats out-of-the-box frozen any day. And while your guests are sure to appreciate the personal touch, it’s the savings to your entertaining budget that will have you smiling. On average, frozen party nibbles cost between $5 and $7 per dozen. This recipe for baked new potato halves topped with roast beef and horseradish cream can be prepared in about 30 minutes for about $2.50 per dozen. For convenience, the potatoes can be baked a few hours ahead so you can quickly reheat them and assemble the hors d’oeuvres as needed. If you like, use sliced pastrami, corned beef or even deli sliced roast turkey instead of the roast beef.

New Potatoes with Roast Beef and Horseradish Cream Start to finish: 35 minutes (15 minutes active) Servings: 60 30 very small red potatoes, halved lengthwise 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil Salt, to taste Ground black pepper, to taste 3/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream 1/4 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise 3 tablespoons well-drained ground horseradish 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard 1/2 pound thinly sliced deli roast beef, coarsely chopped 2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon Place a rack in the lower third of the oven. Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Brush 2 baking sheets with oil. Place the potato halves on the baking sheets, cut side down. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake for 15 minutes, or until well-browned on the underside and tender at the center. The potatoes can be prepared up to 2 hours ahead. Let cool to room temperature and cover with plastic wrap. Meanwhile, in a bowl, stir together the sour cream, mayonnaise, horseradish and mustard. To assemble, reheat as many potatoes as you want to serve at one time, in the oven or microwave. Top each potato with about 1/2 teaspoon of horseradish cream and 1 teaspoon of chopped roast beef. Sprinkle with tarragon. Serve warm.

Easy-to-make New Potatoes with Roast Beef and Horseradish Cream costs half what frozen hors d’oeuvres do and serves nicely with a variety of sliced meat toppings.

Sugar cookies bring out the artist BY ALISON LADMAN FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

T

hese sugar cookies let you express your artistic side. After the cookies are cooled, they are painted with a glaze made from corn syrup, powdered sugar and food coloring.

Painted Sugar Cookies Start to finish: 4 hours (1 1/2 hours active) Makes 20 cookies (using a 4inch cookie cutter) For the cookies: 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened 1/2 cup (4 ounces) cream

cheese, softened 1 cup granulated sugar 3 eggs 1 teaspoon almond extract 1 teaspoon orange extract 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt For the glaze: 1 cup powdered sugar 1 tablespoon corn syrup 2 tablespoons water Food coloring In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together the butter, cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing thoroughly between

each. Add the almond and orange extracts. Mix in the flour, baking powder and salt. Divide the dough in half, wrap each piece in plastic and refrigerate for 2 hours, or overnight. When ready to bake, heat the oven to 350 degrees. Working on a lightly floured surface, roll the dough until about 1/4 inch thick. Use cookie cutters to cut cookies from the dough. Transfer the cookies to a baking sheet, then bake for 8 to 12 minutes, or until just golden around the edges. Cool on a wire rack completely before painting. To make the glaze, in a small

bowl stir together the powdered sugar, corn syrup and water. Divide the mixture into several cups (depending on how many colors you want) and add food coloring as desired. Use paintbrushes to apply the glaze. When painting, stir regularly to avoid a mottled appearance when dry. You also can sprinkle with decorating sugars while the glaze is still wet. Allow to dry thoroughly before storing in an airtight container with parchment between layers. Recipe adapted from “The King Arthur Flour Cookie Companion,” Countryman Press, 2004.

Vintners and analysts predict that 2010 will be a very good year for wine lovers. “Everybody is looking for a deal and I think that mentality is going to persist. We still have the ’05 and the ’06 vintages in the pipeline and that’s a lot of wine,” says Eric Titus, partner in Titus Vineyards in the Napa Valley. He also expects 2010 to be a better year for premium wine. “There’s cautious optimism.” Some top trends to watch for in 2010: • In 2009 consumers boasted about how much they’d saved on – not spent on – a bottle of wine, and that’s expected to continue. With premium grape prices plunging this year as demand for high-end wines withered, a lot of fruit went for rock-bottom prices and Titus and others expect to see premium Napa Valley grapes showing up under new names as growers who couldn’t sell all their fruit release their own bottlings or highend wineries sell their surplus under alternate labels. • Sales of highend wines have stalled, which means some big names are going to be going for cut-rate prices. Titus expects that will cause some excitement among collectors. • Wine Institute President Robert Koch predicts the trend of sustainable winegrowing practices will grow. In January, the San Francisco-based Institute plans to roll out a thirdparty certification program. • Critics are giving good reviews to the ’07 vintage, coming on the market now.

“What’s Santa bringing you this year?” I asked Cy the Cynic. “I asked him to provide me with his list of girls who were naughty,” Cy said. “You men are just like government bonds,” sighed Wendy, my club’s feminist. “It takes you forever to mature.” Cy’s bridge is pretty good but lacks depth and maturity. He misses extra chances because, as a cynic, he thinks the chance of something good happening isn’t worth pursuing. Against today’s slam, West led the queen of clubs to East’s ace. The Cynic won the club return, drew trumps and let dummy’s jack of diamonds ride. West took the queen for down one.

HOROSCOPE

CROSSWORD

Wednesday, Dec. 23, 2009 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Corey Haim, 38; Martha Byrne, 40; Eddie Vedder, 45; Susan Lucci, 63 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Be prepared to adapt to whatever changes are thrust upon you as you make your way this year. Nothing will be stable or go according to plan. Added responsibilities will make it even more important that you assess and react with utmost precision. Moderation will be your saving grace. Your numbers are 3, 11, 14, 20, 24, 38, 42 ARIES (March 21-April 19): You’ll have to compensate for all the little aggravations you face. Work hard and you can overcome any obstacle. Last-minute shopping or well wishes will be appreciated. Take on a challenge but do so with dignity. ★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Take a pass if someone is trying to get you to buy into something that seems a little far-fetched. You are better off doing your own thing. It may not bring about fast cash or action but it will lead to a stable and secure future. ★★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Someone may be trying to set you up by playing on your emotions. You have to say no to anything that is restrictive. Hide your emotions. It’s better to be an onlooker for now. ★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): You are due for a change that will give you a new lease on life. Discuss your plans with the person you are closest to and you will get the confirmation you require to put your plans in motion. ★★★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): If you are quick to spread some of your ideas around to your colleagues and peers, you will get the feedback you require to make last-minute adjustments. You stand a good chance to advance in the new year if you are entertaining, knowledgeable and quick to respond. ★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Enjoy the company of friends and colleagues and you will be awarded with something that you least expect. Don’t hold back. This is a great day to make a move you’ve been planning for some time. ★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Voice your opinion and let everyone know where you stand on issues that are being discussed for future change and policy. Your input will lead to an unusual offer that should help you put your talents to use in the new year. ★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You can pull things together that will please someone you love. An unusual purchase will surprise someone you feel responsible for. Keep a secret now. Use your leverage to get something you want in return. A playful game will turn into a romantic encounter. ★★★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Keep things simple, quiet and peaceful. Taking on a challenge or pushing someone who isn’t likely to back down will end in disaster. An unexpected change of plans will leave you at odds about what you should do. ★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Tell it like it is and you will gain respect and support. There is money to be made if you take an unusual approach to investing. You will come into a little extra cash. Plan your resolutions for the new year. ★★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t reveal a secret that might incriminate you. The impact will be much greater if the recipient doesn’t expect what you are about to do. Take a different approach to the way you handle your personal life. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Don’t let your emotions get the better of you. Take control of money matters and you won’t have to worry about debt in the new year. Plan your actions carefully. ★★★

DAILY QUESTION

COLD SLAM

You hold: S Q J 10 H 9 8 D 8 6 C A 9 8 7 5 2. Your partner opens one spade, you raise to two spades and he bids three spades. Do you agree with your two spades? What do you say now?

Cy lost a cold slam. He can cash the ace of spades at Trick Three, take the K-A of trumps, pitch a diamond on the king of spades and ruff a spade. As it happens, the Q-J-10 fall, and Cy can discard another diamond on the high nine. The chance that the spade honors will fall in three leads is slim, but South loses nothing by trying for that slight extra chance.

ANSWER: Your raise to two spades was fine; you lacked the high-card values to respond two clubs. Partner’s three spades is a try for game, and I’d be inclined to accept and bid four spades. If he can get the clubs going, he should take at least 10 tricks. If not, he may not take nine. 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.

Pack posts deceptive numbers

J

ust from a numbers standpoint, N.C. State’s record looks impressive at 8-2 while traveling to take on Arizona tonight. When looking ahead to the Wolfpack’s prospects when they return to ACC play nine days into the New Year, the picture isn’t as rosy. State fashioned its gaudy winning percentage largely against the likes of Georgia State, Austin Peay and Akron. The Wolfpack could be 11-4 by the time they face Virginia for their second conference tilt. A ragged performance in Sunday’s 67-59 loss against a Wake Forest bunch that shot poorly indicates State faces a tough road. State wasn’t nearly as athletic as Wake, which delivered highlight reel dunks. The Wolfpack couldn’t keep Deacon guard Ishmael Smith from frequently driving into the lane. They couldn’t take advantage of mismatches when Smith got caught underneath against the Wolfpack’s post players. Instead, Smith came up with two blocks, one on 6-8 Dennis Horner that triggered a fastbreak. The Pack had problems on offense when leading scorer Tracy Smith ran into foul trouble and mustered just 11 points after playing just nine minutes in the first half and fouling out with 6:40 to go. Because they hit just a third of their shots in the second half, the Wolfpack couldn’t take advantage of limiting Wake to shooting 11 of 32 from the field after intermission or the Deacons’ hitting 12 of 23 free throws for the game. “As a team we didn’t play our best,” Wolfpack guard Javier Gonzalez said after providing State’s brightest spot by hitting 6 of his 13 field goal attempts and scoring 18 points. “If was had played our best, I believe we would have had a shot.” Gonzalez counted off the number of layups and shots near the basket that the Wolfpack missed. Smith failed to convert on a number of drives as he went 5 of 13 and C.J. Harris did the same in going 3 of 10. And, then there were the crucial turnovers as Wake took control with a 17-4 first-half run. “We’ve got a long way to go,” Wolfpack coach Sidney Lowe said. “The first thing we’ve got to do is increase our intensity and increase our knowledge. We didn’t play

smart.” State wasn’t as tall, powerful or quick. The Wolfpack, starting SPORTS freshman forward Greer Scott Wood Smith who weighs ■■■ 170 pounds, couldn’t shove the Deacons around. “We have to understand that this is the way it is in the ACC,” Lowe said. “They were tough. They were physically active. If that’s the way it is going to be played, then that’s the way we have to play it. Their big guys hit us. We need to do that also.” And, then there is the Wolfpack’s lack of depth, scoring and experience in the frontcourt beyond Smith and fellow forward Dennis Horner, the only two players on the team who have scored 20 or more points in a game. Smith has done it five times. Horner, one of two seniors, has once. Gonzalez offset Smith’s absence by scoring 13 of his points in the last 9:30, helping State to cut a 14-point deficit to seven. But with Horner not producing and no other weapons, that is as close as State got. “Me and Dennis and Javier can’t do it all,” Smith said. “We need more guys to step up.” Coming into the Wake game, Smith was averaging 18.3 points with Horner averaging 15. The only other State player with a double-digit average is Gonzalez at just over 10. “We need guys to get in there and (score),” Lowe said. “Normally, we try to have a least one of them (Smith or Horner) in the game. When one of them is in foul trouble, then it causes problems at times because we wind up with both of them out of the game when the other one needs a rest. When we go to the bench, we’re going to three freshmen there – Richard Howell, DeShawn Painter or Jordan Vandenberg. Those guys will have to learn quickly.” They’ll get time to learn tonight as Smith serves a one-game suspension for violating the ACC’s rule prohibiting players from commenting on officiating when he said he thought he was unfairly called for touch fouls. That’s one lesson learned. Once the Wolfpack jumps into the meat of conference play, it will likely learn several more. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

AP

North Carolina forward Tyler Zeller (44) dunks over Marshall’s Tyler Wilkerson during the first half of Tuesday night’s game in Chapel Hill.

Tar Heels roll

CHAPEL HILL (AP) – Ed Davis had 19 points and 10 rebounds while fellow big man Tyler Zeller matched a career high with 18 points to lead No. 10 North Carolina past Marshall 98-61 on Tuesday night. Marcus Ginyard and Deon Thompson added 14 points apiece and Will Graves had 13 points and 10 rebounds for the Tar Heels (9-3). They shook off a sloppy start and broke open a surprisingly close game by scoring 18 straight points early in the second half and holding Marshall without a field goal for roughly 51⁄2 minutes. Shaquille Johnson had 16 points and Tyler Wilkerson added 12 for Marshall (9-2). The Herd had their seven-game

winning streak snapped, and were denied their first victory against a ranked team since beating then-No. 9 West Virginia in 2006. North Carolina claimed the 1,993rd victory in the program’s history – only Kentucky, which one night earlier won its 2,000th, has more. But this one wasn’t well in hand until the Tar Heels closed the first half with a 17-8 run capped by Graves’ 3-pointer two seconds before the buzzer. That made it 44-35, their largest lead of a sluggish opening 20 minutes. They certainly got themselves back on track after halftime, taking their first double-figure lead when Ginyard hit a layup with about 161⁄2 minutes to play to make it 50-39.

Panther men fall short at Youngstown State SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

YOUNGSTOWN, OHIO – Senior Cruz Daniels scored a season-high 18 points and pulled down eight rebounds, but it wasn’t enough as High Point University men’s basketball team took an 82-69 loss to Youngstown State on Tuesday night. “It comes down to defense. In the second half, Youngstown shot 64 percent from the field,” said HPU head coach Scott Cherry. “In the first half I thought we did a good job defending. We just haven’t gotten to the point where we can sustain that pressure on the defensive end. We shot 56 percent from the field in the second half so it comes down to our defense.” High Point fell to 4-6. Youngstown State improved to 5-6. It was the Panthers’ fifth road game in a row.

After Daniels’ 18 points, Nick Barbour scored 15 and Jairus Simms scored nine. Youngstown State was led by Sirlester Martin’s 20 points and three others scored in double figures: Vytas Sulskis (13), DeAndre Mays (10) and Zack Rebillot (10). Martin also led YSU in rebounding, with eight. “He (Daniels] had a heck of a ballgame. We was focused defensively and he played his heart out,” said Cherry. “With all of our guys, the effort was there. The focus just wasn’t there when we needed to dig down and make stops.” After five straight road games, HPU hosts four in a row starting with N.C. Central on Dec. 29 at 7 p.m. at the Millis Center. After New Year’s, HPU hosts GardnerWebb on Jan. 2, UNC Asheville on Jan. 4 and Radford on Jan. 9.

T

ime was, the sporting world pretty much stopped on Dec. 23. The schedule for two days before Christmas used to be thin, or even nonexistent. But tonight’s action features three can’tmiss offerings. Women’s college basketball grabs the spotlight when top-ranked Connecticut battles

79 57

second-ranked Stanford at 5:30 p.m. (ESPN2). The Huskies have been ranked No. 1 in the AP poll for 31 straight weeks, but figure to be severely tested by the tough Cardinal. Then, at 8 p.m., the Poinsettia Bowl in San Diego matches Utah (9-3) and California (8-4) in a showdown of high-scoring Western powers. ESPN provides the live coverage. And for area viewers, the best is saved

for last. N.C. State (8-2) visits Arizona for a men’s basketball clash at 10:30 p.m. (Fox Sports South). The Wildcats figure to pose a worthy challenge for the Wolfpack. That’s a triple shot of pre-Christmas sports well worth the cheer. Enjoy. And don’t forget the eggnog.

Playing her best at the most important events, Serena Williams re-established herself as the top player in women’s tennis in 2009 and was a landslide choice as Female Athlete of the Year by members of The Associated Press. Williams received 66 of 158 votes cast by editors at U.S. newspapers that are members of the AP. No other candidate got more than 18 votes in the tally, which was announced Tuesday. Zenyatta, the 5-year-old mare who capped her 14-0 career by becoming the first female horse to win the Breeders’ Cup Classic, finished second for the AP honor – with 48 fewer votes than Williams. Kim Clijsters, who came out of retirement only weeks before winning the U.S. Open, was third in 2009 with 16 votes. Lindsey Vonn, who captured her second consecutive overall title in Alpine skiing’s World Cup, finished third with 15 votes, followed by Diana Taurasi, the WNBA’s MVP, who received 14.

AP: Montana’s Hauck hired as UNLV coach LAS VEGAS (AP) — UNLV hired Montana’s Bobby Hauck as its next football coach, less than a week after he coached the Grizzlies in the FCS national championship game. A person with knowledge of the decision told The Associated Press about UNLV’s selection of Hauck on Tuesday. The person requested anonymity because he was not authorized to make an official announcement. UNLV has announced plans to introduce its new coach today. Hauck went 80-17 in seven seasons with the Grizzles and led the team to three Football Championship Subdivision national title games, including last week’s 23-21 loss to Villanova. The 45-year-old Montana native began his college career as a volunteer assistant for the Grizzlies in 1988, after assisting a high school team in 1987. He became Montana’s youngest coach in December 2002 at age 38. Montana officials declined to comment.

Some experts have slotted Davis as the third-rated, draft-eligible offensive tackle prospect behind Oklahoma State’s Russell Okung

NATS SIGN MARQUIS WASHINGTON – After a game at Nationals Park last season, Jason Marquis had a chance to talk with John Lannan, a second-year pitcher atop a rotation consisting of four rookies. “Lannan just thought there was a lot of pressure on him to lead a staff,” Marquis said, “when he was a secondyear player and really didn’t know what it was about.” On Tuesday, the appropriately named veteran became the Marquis name on that very staff, signing a $15 million, two-year contract to join the Washington Nationals. He immediately jumps to the top of the rotation.

OLIVER, RANGERS FINALIZE DEAL DALLAS – Reliever Darren Oliver and the Texas Rangers finalized a $3.5 million, one-year contract that includes a club option for 2011. After spending the past three seasons with the Los Angeles Angels, Oliver starts his third stint with Texas.

NEW YORK – Pitcher Javy Vazquez was traded back to the Yankees by the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday for outfielder Melky Cabrera, a move that pushed New York’s payroll for next season over $200 million. New York also got lefthander Boone Logan as part of the deal, and the Braves obtained a pair of pitching prospects, left-hander Mike Dunn and right-hander Arodys Vizcaino, along with about $500,000. The trade leaves New York with an opening in left field, allowing the Yankees to perhaps pursue Mark DeRosa. New York does not appear interested in re-signing Johnny Damon or going after free agents Matt Holliday and Jason Bay. Atlanta had six starting pitchers and felt free to deal Vazquez, who was 14-10 for the Yankees in 2004.

AP Player of the Year: Suh scores one for D NEW YORK (AP) – Nebraska defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh bulled past the guys who play the glamour positions and proved you don’t have to score touchdowns or toss passes to be the player of the year. Spurred by a dominant performance against Texas in the Big 12 title game, Suh became the first defensive player voted The Associated Press College Football Player of the Year on Tuesday. Suh had already won two defensive player of the year awards – the Nagurski and Bednarik – and two for best lineman – the Lombardi and Outland. He also finished fourth in the Heisman Trophy voting. “Just being recognized as player of the year is a huge accomplishment,� Suh said in a recent phone interview from Lincoln, Neb. He received 26 of a possible 59 votes from AP college football poll voters to edge Stanford running back Toby Ger-

hart, who received 20 votes. Heisman winner Mark Ingram finished tied for third with Texas quarterback Colt McCoy, each getting six votes. Florida quarterback Tim Tebow received one vote. Since the AP started handing out a player of the year award in 1998, all the winners had been quarterbacks or running backs. Suh, a 6-foot-4, 300-pound senior, was already having an All-America-caliber season before the Cornhuskers played Texas on Dec. 5 at Dallas Cowboys Stadium. He nearly led Nebraska to a stunning upset, with 12 tackles and 41â „2 sacks. The Longhorns kicked a last-second field goal to escape with a 13-12 victory, but Suh was so utterly unblockable he earned a trip to New York as one of five finalists for the Heisman. He finished the season with 12 sacks and was the pillar of the ninth-ranked defense in the country.

Giants hit stride, crush Redskins LANDOVER, Md. (AP) – Right from the beginning of this game, the New York Giants looked a lot more like the team that strutted to a 5-0 start this season than the one that stuttered into a 2-6 tailspin. Eli Manning and the rest of New York’s offense took the opening kickoff against the Washington Redskins on Monday night and drove 80 yards in 16 plays, keeping the ball for more than 9 minutes, until Ahmad Bradshaw plunged into the end zone from 3 yards out. The next possession? Oh, that one only lasted 63 yards in 11 plays, a mere 5 minutes, until Bradshaw covered the final 4 yards for another TD. New York’s defense, meanwhile, kept harassing quarterback Jason Campbell and forcing Washington into three-and-outs. This was a game between one team (New York) making a last-ditch push for the playoffs and another (Washington) that hired a new GM last week – and it was obvious which was which. The Giants dominated every phase and easily beat the Redskins 45-12 to stay within shouting dis-

tance of a wild-card berth. “We were the team that had more at stake, obviously – and played that way,� said Giants coach Tom Coughlin, who’s club improved to 8-6, one game behind Dallas and Green Bay in the NFC. “We always talk about being the team that demonstrates greater purpose. And we did.� Now there’s an understatement. Check out the statistics with 41⠄2 minutes left in the second quarter: The Giants had readit-again-to-make-sure-it’sright advantages in yards (226 to minus-2) and first downs (16-0). The score was 24-0 at that point, thanks to Bradshaw’s two TD runs, Lawrence Tynes’ 38-yard field goal, and the first of Manning’s three scoring throws. “That was the big emphasis all week, and we talked about it as a group offensively – just getting off to a fast start. It’s something we haven’t been very good at these past few weeks,� said Manning, who was 19 of 26 for 268 yards and raised his season total to a career-best 26 TD passes.

Browns’ Quinn done for rest of season BEREA, Ohio (AP) – Crutches by his side and his left foot in a protective boot, quarterback Brady Quinn stared at the ground as his teammates practiced. This wasn’t the ending he imagined. Quinn’s uneven season is over, and so is his chance to impress new Browns president Mike Holmgren. Quinn was placed on injured reserve Tuesday with an unspecified foot injury, the second straight season he has finished on IR. He got hurt while scrambling for 24 yards in the fourth quarter of Cleveland’s 41-34 win over the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. Browns coach Eric Mangini gave no specifics about Quinn’s injury but said his recovery could “take a little while.� Mangini said the team did not

yet know if surgery was necessary and that it was unclear on film how Quinn, who was tripped up as he neared the sideline, was injured. Quinn was not available for interviews as he sat off to the side in the indoor fieldhouse as the Browns worked out Tuesday. A few teammates came over and offered handshakes to the former Notre Dame star, who began the season as Cleveland’s starter, lost his job, got it back and wound up hurt. Quinn’s injury will keep him out of Cleveland’s final two games, which will be played with Holmgren newly on board after agreeing to join the struggling franchise as team president. With Quinn out, Derek Anderson will start on Sunday against the Oakland Raiders.

NEW YORK (AP) – Stocks pushed higher for a third straight day after a surprisingly strong report on housing provided the latest evidence that the economy is picking up speed. All major indexes gained less than 1 percent Tuesday, with the Standard & Poor’s 500 index and the Nasdaq composite index closing at new highs for the year. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 50 points, bringing its three-day point gain to 156. Stocks got off to a positive start after a report from the National Association of Realtors said home resales jumped 7.4 percent in November. That was much more than the 2.5 percent increase analysts expected. The government’s tax breaks have spurred sales to their highest level in nearly three years. The report added to a recent string of encouraging news on the economy, including upbeat earnings and forecasts from technology com-

panies and more corporate dealmaking. “It’s just another rung in the recovery ladder,” said Brett D’Arcy, chief investment officer at CBIZ Wealth Management Group. There were other signs that investors were feeling more confident. Bond prices fell further, pushing yields sharply higher. The gap between yields on short- and long-term bonds has widened to record levels, indicating that investors see the economy growing. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 50.79, or 0.5 percent, to 10,464.93. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 3.97, or 0.4 percent, to 1,118.02, while the Nasdaq composite index rose 15.01, or 0.7 percent, to 2,252.67. Both the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq are at their highest levels since last October. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note, which moves opposite its price, rose to its highest level since August, climbing to 3.76 percent.

Local car dealers expect sales to rise in 2010. with that, according to a local dealer. “In general, I do think sales will rise about 10 percent,” said Owen Bertschi, president of Crescent Ford in High Point. “The banks and the finance companies

are in much better financial states than they were 12 months ago. Customers have paid down their debt on existing car transactions.” The popular stimulus program, Cash for Clunkers,

HIGH POINT – Some recent studies indicate that the auto industry’s old acquaintance with declining sales may be forgot next year and replaced with a new growth. Several studies predict that car sales will rise as much as 15 percent in 2010. Analyst CSM Worldwide estimates the industry will grow by 15 percent in the U.S. while Groupama Asset Management predicts a 4 percent increase in auto sales worldwide. William Ford, Ford Motor Co.’s chairman, also predicted a 10 percent growth in the U.S. earlier this month. Consumers’ restrictive spending and credit crunch may have something to do

Auto sales projected to rise next year gave the industry a boost this year as it offered $3,500 and $4,500 tax incentives, resulting in a nearly 12 percent rise in sales in August, the U.S. Census Bureau reported. After the program ended, however, sales fell 16 percent in September. They rose again in October and November. The slight increases may be giving consumers more confidence after they turned their backs on durable goods earlier this year, said Andrew Brod, director of the center of business and economic research at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. “Durable goods really take a hit during a recession because people lose confidence and wonder if they’ll be able to make payments down the

road,” Brod said. “The accumulation of small increases is making people begin to feel confident again. When people are making decisions about durable goods, they’ll pay more attention to where things are headed than where they are right now.” The slowing of the auto industry also leads to another contributing factor in rising sales – more people driving with the same, old cars, Bertschi said. “If you factor in the average car being on the road for somewhere around 10 years now, there’s an awful lot of pent up demand,” he said. “It’s a big change from what we’ve seen in recent years.” The Associated Press contributed to this report.

INDIANAPOLIS – Duke Energy Corp. will spend about $93 million to settle clean air violations at a plant in southern Indiana. The EPA said Duke Energy will spend $85 million to cut emissions at its Gallagher plant by nearly 35,000 tons per year. Duke said the upgrades will cost about $80 million.

Report: Cyber gang pickpockets millions from Citigroup

AP

A box containing info about a home with a reduced price for sale in Jackson, Miss., is shown Tuesday. Sales of previously occupied homes surged in November to the highest level in nearly three years.

Home resales skyrocket in South MIAMI (AP) – Home resales in the South skyrocketed last month as firsttime buyers hurried to grab an expiring federal tax credit while exploiting low prices and mortgage rates. The South recorded 176,000 home sales in November, the National Association of Realtors said Tuesday, up 48 percent from a year earlier when the nation was dizzied by the financial market meltdown. The median sales price fell slightly more than 1 percent, to $151,400. Nationally, existing home sales soared nearly 47 percent compared with last November, without adjusting for seasonal factors. The median sales price dropped 4 percent to $172,600.

Half of the national sales went to first-time homebuyers using a tax credit of up to $8,000 that was set to expire last month. Congress extended the credit until next spring and also added a tax credit of up to $6,500 for repeat homebuyers. The first-time homebuyer tax credit, along with mortgage rates below 5 percent, lured more buyers than during previous holiday seasons, real estate agents said. “Remember that a year ago the months of October, November and December were pretty much the worst quarter in the history of real estate – and not just for San Anto-

All 19 Southern cities covered by the Associated Press-Re/Max Monthly Housing Report showed sales increases compared with last November. Median sales prices were flat or increased in 11 Southern cities. The AP-Re/Max report, also released Tuesday, analyzed sales transactions in the metropolitan statistical areas recorded by all real estate agents, regardless of company affiliation.

have been no associated losses.” Dow Jones & Co. spokesman Robert Christie said the Journal stands by the accuracy of its story. The Journal reported that the attack on Citigroup’s Citibank subsidiary was detected over the summer, although it may have occurred up to one year earlier. The FBI, the National Security Agency, the Homeland Security Department and Citigroup worked together to investigate the attack. Cyber crime is of increasing concern to businesses and the federal government, with President Barack Obama calling it one of the “most serious economic and national security challenges we face.”
