Smoking ban includes requirements for patios BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – Outdoor patios may be the solution to bar and restaurant owners’ worries about the state’s smoking ban, effective Jan. 1. But they’re finding out that patios have a set of requirements to meet before customers are allowed to light up outside. The smoking ban legislation, signed by Gov. Beverley Perdue earlier this year, won’t allow smoking on a patio that is considered to be enclosed, or a patio area that has three or more walls and a roof. “With patios, the key is that smoking is prohibited in enclosed areas,” said Mary Gillett, coordinator for the Tobacco Use Prevention Coalition of Guilford County. “Any restaurant that has a patio is fine as long as it has at least two sides that are open.” Those restrictions include enclosures made out of canvas material, Gillett said, but not screens because the air flow isn’t restricted. One of George Rider’s two area bars meets the requirements to allow smoking. Rider is hoping that the smoking ban will have less of an impact on Rider’s in the Country, located in Randleman just next to the Guilford County line.

Vic Conant, chairman of the board of NightingaleConant Corp., a publisher of audio personal development programs, was named by High Point University to the Nido R. Qubein School of Communication Board of Advisors.

“It gives your customers a little bit of relief,” he said. “You at least have a place to sit and smoke outside instead of standing in front of the place where everyone else has to walk through it (the smoke).” A patio at his other bar, Club 64 in Asheboro, doesn’t meet the requirements. Greg Stephen’s, owner of Harrison’s Restaurant at 1807 N. Main St. in High Point, used to drape a canvas enclosure over his outdoor patio during winter to help customers battle the cold. Because of the new restrictions, he isn’t using the canvas this winter. “If we put the cover out, our guests won’t be allowed to smoke out there,” he said. “We’ll have to let people fend for themselves on the patio this winter when they want to smoke.” Stephens, who has spoken in opposition of the ban since it was passed, said he expected it to have some negative impact on the business of bars and restaurants, but he is preparing Harrison’s for the transition. “We’re waiting to see how the law really is going to be enforced,” Stephens said. “We’re waiting to see if they’ll revise any of it.”

Employment will play a key role in 2010 elections BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – The Democratic Party’s chance of maintaining control of the N.C. General Assembly and keeping its seats in the state’s congressional delegation or the Republican Party’s opportunity to turn the tide its way may come down to three critical factors, analysts say. First is jobs ... then there’s jobs ... and, finally, jobs.

It’s a barometer on how we’re doing, and it will have a significant effect,”

Budget cuts leave libraries without tax forms BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – For High Point Public Library officials, tax season traditionally means a busy time helping visitors. The next few months could be even more hectic for the staff because of a cost-cutting measure being implemented by the state. The N.C. Department of Revenue has announced that it will no longer send tax forms and instruction books to libraries, post offices and other public facilities. The move is aimed at reducing printing costs and encouraging electronic filing, but may pose hassles for the 1,200 to 2,000 people who typically come to High Point’s library for the free forms each tax season. “They’re going to come in and be frustrated, so we’re trying to minimize that, and hopefully they’ll be less frustrated as they’re leaving,” said Julie Raynor, the library’s business research supervisor. “There are folks that just come into the library to get tax forms. They don’t have access to a computer. It’s going to put them at a disadvantage, but we really are going to try to work with folks.” Raynor said library staff will be available to help pa-

Call of the wild Number of coyote sightings increase in UNC, Duke area MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEW SERVICE

CHAPEL HILL – Police and wildlife officials plan to educate the public in 2010 about a growing number of coyote sightings in the Bolin Creek and Carolina North woods. Orange County Animal Services Director Bob Marotto met this fall with representatives from UNC’s forest, Duke Forest, local law enforcement and state wildlife officials. The group agreed to draft an educational brochure about wildlife, including but not singling out coyotes in order not to alarm people. They also agreed to create a log of “red-flag” humancoyote encounters. The coyotes are not considered a threat to people here, but there have been reports of the wild canines following hikers through the woods west of the railroad tracks, perhaps to protect their dens. Coyotes can be dangerous to dogs, by fighting and transmitting diseases. UNC tells people to keep their dogs leashed on the trails.

“We really don’t know enough yet to form a strong opinion about what the risks are,” Marotto said. “The contacts between coyotes and people are really quite limited. At the same time we want to monitor the situation.” Jerry McGovern, a UNC forest technician, is in the Carolina North woods daily. He maintains trails, removes hazardous trees and works with volunteers to remove invasive plants. Last summer he was driving his off-road vehicle up a small rise in the part of the forest that runners call Pumpkin Loop when he saw a coyote and got out for a closer look. “I was excited,” he said. “The coyote was primarily confused because I was chasing him.” He lost the animal when it ran into a swampy area. Many people have heard coyotes howling, and they have been reported near the landfill on Eubanks Road for many years. Far fewer have seen them. On the Carolina North Forest Web site, forest

officials, who are gathering information, say “if you’re fortunate enough to see one in the pre-dawn or dusk hours and have the presence of mind, snap a photo.” “Mostly the people get scared,” McGovern said, “which is the exact wrong thing to do. You don’t want the coyote to think he has the upper hand.” Coyotes are in all 100 of the state’s counties, but state wildlife officials don’t know how many are in North Carolina. “That would be extremely hard to do, getting an estimate,” said George Strader, wildlife biologist for 11 counties including, Orange, Durham and Chatham. “What we do know is we’re getting a lot more calls, which could indicate the population is growing,” Strader said. “Of course the human population is growing; we compete for the same areas.” Coyotes don’t have any natural predators. They’re considered a threat to calves and other livestock, small dogs and cats.

Zoo looks to expand popular polar bear exhibit ASHEBORO (AP) – Officials at the North Carolina Zoo are hoping a multimillion-dollar expansion of one of its exhibits will lead to expansion in the number of inhabitants in the exhibit. The News & Record of Greensboro reports that officials want to create a polar bear breed-

water, sand, ice and natural playthings, such as a tree trunk. A fundraising campaign has brought in $1.2 million of the $2 million goal. The plan is to begin construction late next year or early 2011 and to open the exhibit in 2012.

Student suspended for wearing Santa suit

SHELBY – There’s one gift that can’t fit in a driveway, under a Christmas tree, or be wrapped in anything other than selflessness. Life. Rodney Roseboro continues to build on 18 years of experience as a firefighter. He’s “well trained” – been through wrecks and emergencies. But never anything like this. There’s a first time for everything. In this case, it came Dec. 10. It was a blustery Thursday evening, Roseboro recalled, when he discovered a house fire at 822 Hill St. He thought a woman could be inside. And Roseboro, on his way back from the store, was right. Roseboro, who volunteers with Shanghai Fire Department, called 911. But the home’s carport was already in flames with no authorities in sight. It wasn’t within Shang-

hai’s fire district. Life could be hanging in the balance. Instinct kicked in – literally and figuratively. “I’m here. Nobody else is around. I’m going to do it,” Roseboro said to himself. “I kicked down the door and went in there to go get her.” The woman he sought was Onzie Hensley, said nephew Bobby Parker. Roseboro found Hensley on the floor inside. “She had fell, had a bump knot on her head ... didn’t know that until I talked to the insurance adjuster. Pulled her out through the kitchen.” Roseboro told the story with a plaque by his side, a distinguished award he later received from Shanghai. And though his actions likely saved Hensley’s life, Roseboro sees the act as simply doing his job. “I feel like I (did) my standards of being in the fire service.” Shelby Fire responded earlier that night to a separate incident across town.

Economy is key FROM PAGE 1

said John Dinan, professor of political science at Wake Forest University. The jobless rate has the chance to become more of a barometer if it doesn’t fall during 2010, said Matthew DeSantis, associate professor of political science at High Point University. “Once people start to think the economy is turning around, other issues will pop up instead. But if unemployment stays at 10 percent, you can bet your bottom dollar that’s what Republicans are going to run on,” DeSantis said. If the jobless rate falls appreciably, then Demo-

crats can point to policies of President Barack Obama’s administration and Gov. Beverly Perdue’s office as having helped salvage and turn around an economy that was on the brink, DeSantis said. Democrats head into the 2010 election campaigns with a 16-seat edge in the 120-member state House and 10-seat edge in the 50-member state Senate. Eight of the U.S. House representatives from North Carolina are Democrats, with the remaining five Republicans. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

ASHEVILLE (AP) – Gilles Cloutier would not be denied his Christmas Day dinner. When an ice storm hit western North Carolina on Friday, thousands of residents were left in the dark. The Asheville Citizen-Times reported that Cloutier, who lives in nearby Black Mountain, had a turkey to cook and people who wanted to eat it, so he got creative. “It’s hard to cook a turkey when you don’t have electricity,� Cloutier said. “We went to a restaurant in Black Mountain

and used their oven so we could roast the turkey and then used the charcoal grill to cook some other stuff. “It was very cozy,� he said. “We had a candlelight dinner (Friday) night with three families.� Candlelight remains the lone means of light in the North Carolina mountains. Progress Energy reported 2,403 customers in eastern Buncombe County were without power Sunday morning following Friday’s storm. At the peak of the storm

Friday there were more than 12,250 Progress Energy customers without power, spokeswoman Martha Thompson said. Problems also linger in northwestern North Carolina, where Blue Ridge Electric Membership Corp. said yesterday that massive damage will keep people without heat and light into Tuesday. The utility reported on its Web site Sunday that as of noon, there were 6,600 customers without power in Watauga County and another 1,200 customers in Ashe County.

We stood on sidelines, and this is the mess we got Most who know me well enough know that I dislike politics and have done so for most of my life. Even to the point, for a long time, I refused to discuss much about politics because I do not want any confrontation which politics seems to promote. But so much has changed over the past 50 years and much of the change is not good for the majority. Greed and arrogance has overtaken so many politicians and business leaders that I have become concerned about our country, our society and our way of living. I am scared for my children and especially for my grandchildren for what kind of life they will have and especially how they will pay for the insane spending the politicians are now doing. I am afraid too many have shared my dislike for politics and did not get involved or did not speak up. We all need to wake up before it is too late! I am not talking about Democrat or Republican! I am talking about personal and religious freedoms. I am talking about a bunch of politicians spending our money in ways we cannot afford. I am talking about ways of life being gone that our forefathers worked so hard to secure for us. I want to encourage readers to write, phone or e-mail local, state and national political leaders and let them know how they feel. I wish there was a way we could fire them all, take all their benefits away and send a new group in with term limits and limited salary and benefits. I believe that would do wonders for their focus. Please get involved. Do not think your voice is not heard! You can and will make a difference! REV. DANNY L. ROMINGER High Point

it looks discouraging, but don’t lose hope. America has been referred to as the greatest experiment in history. That’s true. It is the greatest country on earth, made up of people from all parts of the world and many different religions with a love for freedom. Now remember, with freedom that means you are free to succeed or fail. There has never been a more prosperous and charitable nation. The next time anyone, even our president, or Al Gore, tries to tell you otherwise, you need to know they are lying. Every generation leaves a legacy. You (your generation) will reap what we sow. In the name of tolerance, globalization, political correctness and world peace (pipe dream), Lady Liberty is currently on her knees. She can rise again. Hopefully your generation will not be the first to not have it better than your parents. How do we return her to her rightful place? It won’t be easy. It will come down to two things: the ballot box and the wallet. When, and only when, the American citizens learn how and why to use these will she stand again with the flame of freedom burning brightly. Since I did wake up breathing this morning, know this, I will not sit quietly while she falters. Now, clean your room, do your homework, brush your teeth and say your prayers. Whew! ... Glad that’s over. BRITT MOORE lives in High Point.

Politicized ‘science’ has big stake in fanning flames of global warming hysteria

S

cience is one of the great achievements of the human mind and the biggest reason why we live not only longer but more vigorously in our old age, in addition to all the ways in which it provides us with things that make life easier and more enjoyable. Like anything valuable, science has been seized upon by politicians and ideologues and used to forward their own agendas. This started long ago, as far back as the 18th century, when the Marquis de Condorcet coined the term “social science” to describe various theories he favored. In the 19th century, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels distinguished their own brand of socialism as “scientific socialism.” By the 20th century, all sorts of notions wrapped themselves in the mantle of “science.” “Global warming” hysteria is only the latest in this long line of notions, whose main argument is that there is no argument, because it is “science.” The recently revealed destruction of raw data at the bottom of the global warming hysteria, as well as revelations of attempts to prevent critics of this hysteria from being published in leading journals, suggests that the disinterested search for truth – the hallmark of real science – has taken a back seat to a political crusade.

An intercepted email from a professor at the Climate Research Unit in England to a professor at the University of Pennsylvania warned the latter: OPINION “Don’t any of you three tell anybody that the UK has a Thomas Freedom of InforSowell mation Act” and ■■■ urged the American professor to delete any e-mails he may have sent a colleague regarding the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. When a business accused of fraud begins shredding its memos and deleting its e-mails, the media are quick to proclaim these actions as signs of guilt. But, after the global warming advocates began a systematic destruction of evidence, the big television networks went for days without even reporting these facts, much less commenting on them. As for politicians, Sen. Barbara Boxer has urged prosecution of the hackers who uncovered and revealed the e-mails! People who have in the past applauded whistle-blowers in business, in

the military, or in Republican administrations, and who lionized the New York Times for publishing the classified Pentagon papers, are now shocked and outraged that someone dared to expose massive evidence of manipulations, concealment and destruction of data – and deliberate cover-ups of all this – in the global warming establishment. Factual data are crucial in real science. Einstein himself urged that his own theory of relativity not be accepted until it could be empirically verified. This verification came when scientists around the world observed an eclipse of the sun and discovered that light behaved as Einstein’s theory said it would behave, however implausible that might have seemed beforehand. Today, politicized “science” has too big a stake in the global warming hysteria to let the facts speak for themselves and let the chips fall where they may. Too many people – in politics and in the media, as well as among those climate scientists who are promoting global warming hysteria – let the raw data on which their calculations have been based fall into the “wrong hands.”

Leonard Pitts’ column will return in January. YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

People who talk about the corrupting influence of money seem to automatically assume that it is only private money that is corrupting. But, when governments have billions of dollars invested in the global warming crusade, massive programs underway and whole political careers at risk if that crusade gets undermined, do not expect the disinterested search for truth. Among the intelligentsia, there have always been many who are ready to jump on virtually any bandwagon that will take them to the promised land, where the wise and noble few – like themselves – can take the rest of us poor dummies in hand and tell us how we had better change the way we live our lives. No doubt some climate scientists honestly believe that global warming poses a threat. But other climate scientists honestly believe the opposite. That is why the raw data have had to be destroyed before the latter get their hands on it. This is tragically the case as regards many other issues, besides global warming, where data are made available only to the true believers and kept out of the hands of those who think otherwise.

Bomber kills 5 at Shiite gathering in Pakistan ISLAMABAD (AP) – A suicide bomber targeted a large gathering of Shiite Muslims in the capital of Pakistan-controlled Kashmir on Sunday, killing five people and wounding 80 – a rare sectarian attack in an area police said has little history of militant violence. Muslim militants have fought

for decades to free Kashmir, which is split between India and Pakistan and claimed by both, from New Delhi’s rule. But while Muzaffarabad has served as a base for anti-India insurgents to train and launch attacks, the capital – and most of the Pakistani side – has large-

ly been spared any violence, as militants have focused their firepower across the frontier in the Indian-controlled portion, police officer Sardar Ilyas said. The suicide bomber detonated his explosives as police tried to search him at a checkpoint outside a commemoration of the

seventh century death of the Prophet Muhammad’s grandson. The gathering attracted about 1,000 people, said police officer Tahir Qayum.

Italy avalanches kill 7, including 4 rescuers ROME – Seven people, including a German teenager, have been killed by avalanches in northern Italy, officials said Sunday. In one incident, two Italian tourists were killed when an avalanche hit them in the Italian Alps, said local Carabinieri police. Four rescuers who were looking for them were hit by a subsequent avalanche and were also killed. The two tourists had gone missing Saturday afternoon while mountain climbing in the Trentino Alto Adige region.

Hamas: 2 members dead in Lebanon blast BEIRUT – Hamas said Sunday that two members were killed in a mysterious late-night blast, and the Palestinian militant group said it was still trying to determine who was behind the attack. Lebanon’s state-run news agency said Saturday’s explosion was caused by three bombs tied to each other and placed under a car believed to belong to a Hamas official. The blast took place near Hamas offices south of Beirut. Hamas, which governs the Gaza Strip but has exiled leaders in Lebanon and Syria, identified the men as Basil Juma, 29, and Hassan Hadad, 21.

New Year’s Eve ball gets new crystal NEW YORK – The New Year’s Eve crystal ball that drops in New York’s Times Square is getting a makeover to ring in 2010. Organizers unveiled a new design Sunday for nearly 300 Waterford crystal triangles to be installed on the giant ball. The crystals feature an interlocking ribbon pattern, woven into a Celtic knot, to illustrate the theme “Let There Be Courage.� One of the event’s producers, Jeffrey Straus of Countdown Entertainment, says the knot’s looping design evokes the yellow ribbons that welcome soldiers home or red ribbons for AIDS awareness.

Indian tribes buy back thousands of acres OMAHA, Neb. – Native American tribes tired of waiting for the U.S. government to honor centuries-old treaties are buying back land where their ancestors lived and putting it in federal trust. Native Americans say the purchases will help protect their culture and way of life by preserving burial grounds and areas where sacred rituals are held. They also provide land for farming, timber and other efforts to make the tribes self-sustaining. Tribes put more than 840,000 acres into trust from 1998 to 2007, according to information The Associated Press

Suspect identified in girl’s kidnapping PHOENIX – When Phoenix police officer Mike Burns pulled near a brown pickup, he suspected the two people inside were a kidnapper and his 5-year-old victim.

The patrolman set out on a Christmas night car chase that ended in the arrest of 45-year-old Larry Jon Ladwig. The frightened girl was taken to a police facility, and is back home with her family, police Sgt. Andy Hill said.

Man arrested in new disturbance on Detroit flight WASHINGTON (AP) – A Nigerian passenger onboard the same Northwest Airlines route that was attacked on Christmas Day was taken into custody in Detroit on Sunday after locking himself in the bathroom for an hour and becoming verbally disruptive upon landing, officials said. The latest disturbance aboard Northwest Airlines Flight 253 came as the U.S. system for checking suspicious travelers and airport security came under new scrutiny, prompted by an alleged terrorist bent on destroying a jetliner who was thwarted only by a malfunctioning detonator and some quick-thinking passengers. Delta Air Lines spokeswoman Susan Elliott said crew members on Sunday requested that security remove the man from Flight 253 after he became disruptive. The remaining 255 passengers got off safely, she said. A law enforcement official said the man was Nigerian and had locked himself in the airliner’s

The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation was ongoing. An apparent malfunction in a device designed to detonate the high explosive PETN may have been all that saved the 278 passengers and the crew aboard Northwest Flight 253 on Christmas Day. No undercover air marshal was on board and passengers subdued the suspect, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, 23, of Nigeria.

Abdulmutallab was hospitalized with burns from the attack and was read an indictment filed Saturday in federal court in Detroit charging him with attempting to destroy or wreck an aircraft and placing a destructive device in a plane. He was released from the hospital Sunday to the custody of federal marshals. Abdulmutallab was on a watch list, but not one that denied him passage by air into the U.S. His

Even so, airport security and intelligence played no role in thwarting the plot. Abdulmutallab was carrying PETN, also known as pentaerythritol, the same material convicted shoe bomber Richard Reid used when he tried to destroy a transAtlantic flight in 2001 with explosives hidden in his shoes. Abdulmutallab is alleged to have carried the explosive in condomlike pouches attached to his body.

Growing voice Population boost may lead to new congressional district BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – A report released last week offers more evidence that North Carolina’s population growth could give rise to a new state congressional district and perhaps reshape the political map in the greater High Point area. The nonpartisan research group Democracy North Carolina reports that the state recorded the thirdhighest population growth among the 50 states for a 12month period between July 2008 and July of this year. According to new data

released by the U.S. Census Bureau, North Carolina’s population increase in the past year ranked behind only Texas and California. North Carolina had 9,380,884 people as of July 1, an increase of 134,000 since July 1, 2008, Democracy North Carolina reports. Whether North Carolina emerges in the next decade with a 14th congressional district won’t be known for certain until the demographic numbers are crunched following next year’s formal census. But the Census Bureau report leading into the 2010 population count is encouraging for the state’s

The two congressional districts that cover the greater High Point area are among the most partisan of the 13 congressional districts in the state. The 6th District, represented for 13 terms by Republican Rep. Howard Coble of Greensboro, has the highest proportion of registered Republican voters among the state’s congressional districts. The 12th District, served for nine terms by Democratic Rep. Mel Watt of Charlotte, has the second-highest proportion of registered Democratic voters among the districts. Source: N.C. General Assembly redistricting statistics

chance to secure an additional congressional district, said Bob Hall, executive director for Democracy North Carolina based in Durham. “The fact that we’re adding absolute population numbers by larger numbers than other states gives us a better shot at adding a congressional district,” he said. If the state receives a 14th

congressional district, the likelihood is high that the breakdown of population growth will merit the district being placed in the region between the Charlotte metropolitan area, through the Triad, to the Triangle around Raleigh and Durham, Hall said. “It would likely be in the greater Piedmont,” he said.

If a 14th district falls in the Triad, or near it, the redrawing of district lines could alter the two districts for the greater High Point area – the 6th District, served by Republican Rep. Howard Coble, and the 12th District, served by Democratic Rep. Mel Watt. “It’s going to be a matter of where that new district is going to be added, and how they are going to reshape the other 13 districts to accommodate that new one,” said Matthew DeSantis, associate professor of political science at High Point University. Whether North Carolina receives an additional congressional district isn’t just based on its rate of population growth, he said. “It’s us increasing because other states are decreasing,” DeSantis said.

Crews clear way for jail construction BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – Within the last few months, workers have moved two additional historic houses to make way for the new downtown Greensboro jail annex. Most recently, a two-story, 90year-old duplex located at 208 Blandwood Ave. was lifted off its original foundation and moved to the corner of W. Washington and Edgeworth streets. The house will be restored for commercial uses by the Zenke family. In December 2008, McConnell House, the Zenke family home, was moved to W. Washington St. across from Blandwood Mansion. The duplex, constructed around 1920, is an American Foursquare – a form of building inspired by architect Frank Lloyd Wright. It features a pyramidal roofline, broad overhanging eaves and a symmetrical facade, according to Preservation Greensboro. The houses were moved about 400 feet. For each house move, about six weeks of planning was necessary, Michael Blake of Blake Moving Co. recently said. The moves were made possible by the Preservation Greensboro Development Fund, a subsidiary the organization that focuses on real estate opportunities involving historic sites and buildings. Blake Moving Co. recently was awarded the Vincent Lowe Jr. Business Award by the Historic Preservation of North Carolina.

Work on sewer projects nears end BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Work aimed at rehabilitating a portion of old city infrastructure that’s in poor condition is coming to a close. High Point received $1.3 million in federal stimulus funds to repair obsolete sewer-system mains in nine different projects scattered throughout the city. The appropriation is also funding a project that involves abandoning the Lazy Lane lift station and

replacing it with a gravity sewer line. “This will certainly knock out 10 projects that might not have been funded otherwise,” said Keith Pugh, director of engineering services for the city. “ Some have gotten a little sloppy because you’re dealing with existing systems that are just really old and you start working on them and some other things might fall apart.” The projects involve rehabilitating manholes, doing point repairs on

broken lines and re-lining existing sewer mains. Most of it is rehabilitation work, with “just a little new work in some of them,” Pugh said. The projects started in August and Pugh said the hope is to have them wrapped up by the end of the year. He said he expected the final tally for all of the work to be less than the $1.3 million that was alloted. The one-time appropriation of federal funds has allowed the city to address projects without having to use its own money.

Some of the projects being done have been on the drawing board for eight or nine years waiting on funding to come in, such as the Creekside outfall project, he said. The city sought stimulus funding to use for similar work on obsolete water lines but didn’t qualify for the funding because those grants generally went to cities and counties in areas that were deemed economically depressed, Pugh said. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

In May, Chrysler gave If anyone has reason to the Stearns family a 26hope 2010 will be better day notice that the comthan 2009, it’s Dale Stearns. The owner and manager of four local auto dealerships got punched in the gut this year when major manufacturers Chrysler and General Motors filed for bankruptcy. On Dec. 18, he closed Stearns Chevrolet, which had operated on Auto Park Drive in Graham for 16 years. General Motors announced earlier this year that it would end service with his franchise by pany was ending service October 2010. “It could have been any to Stearns Chrysler Plymtime between January outh Jeep.

American consumers. “We feel very fortunate with Ford. Their reputation was helped when they didn’t ask for money last year like some other manufacturers. Their products have gotten better and better. The quality reports for quite a few (models) have been better than even Toyota and Honda, which seems to be the comparison for many. We’re getting some of this other stuff behind us so we can focus on business at the two Ford dealerships,� Stearns said. Car sales began picking up in late summer and have gradually increased at an encouraging rate, he said. In other encouraging news the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2010, just signed into law by President Obama, gives auto dealers shut down by bankruptcies the opportunity to arbitrate with manufacturers to reinstate their franchise contracts. The process has the potential to reopen Stearns Chrysler Plymouth Jeep.

Bears head west and east to find new homes in NC RALEIGH (AP) – Experts say black bears are crossing North Carolina from both the west and the east. For most of the past century, black bears could only be found in the western mountains and eastern swamps of North Carolina. But as their numbers increased, they began to find new homes. Biologists tell The News & Observer of Raleigh they plan to try to figure out how

far the bears have spread next year. The Wildlife Resources Commission reports there were about 11,000 bears living on nearly 10 million acres in North Carolina in 2008, compared to the 1971 count of 4,000 bears occupying 2.5 million acres. Before European settlers came to North Carolina and began hunting them relentlessly, black bears roamed across the entire state.

Supermarket treated like a buffet is no free lunch

D

ear Abby: I work for supermarkets as a merchandiser, and a day doesn’t go by when I don’t see customers eat food they have not yet purchased while they shop. I was taught as a child that items in a supermarket are not yours to consume until they are first paid for at the register. A supermarket is not a restaurant! You pay for the food before you eat it. I am sure many people “forget� they handed their child a muffin from the bakery display to keep him or her occupied while they shop. And how can a store weigh the grapes you ate while browsing in the aisles? This is stealing, and parents send the wrong message to their children by letting them graze on the products the store is selling. By the way, employees are not allowed to say anything to customers when they see it happen. This practice not only keeps prices higher, but also is unhygienic. Shopping carts are filthy; they are rarely cleaned. Pushing a cart and eating a cookie is a perfect way to pick up a serious foodborne illness. Abby, what are your thoughts on the subject? – Supermarket Merchandiser in New York Dear S.M.: They’re the same as yours.

bend the rules, they grow up thinking it’s normal. And by the way, this applies not only to what we do, but also to our sins of omission.

Dear Abby: This year was awful. One of my friends shot himself. A few weeks ago a classmate hit a young man, and the guy died. Now I have just learned that yesterday another classmate was killed in a car crash. All I want to do is hide in my room. I’m scared of what is happening. Who are we going to lose next? Please tell me how to handle this. – Scared in Pennsylvania Dear Scared: When deaths happen with no warning, it is shocking and scary, and you have had more than your share. When tragedies such as you have described happen during the school year, many schools invite grief counselors to come and talk with the students, which can be helpful. If that hasn’t happened where you live, it would be a good idea for you and some of your friends to discuss your feelings with a clergyperson or another trusted adult who can guide you through the normal emotions people experi-

ence during the grieving process. Dear Abby: Please settle a disagreement for us. Is a butter knife used to put your butter on your plate, or to spread the butter on your bread? – Etiquette-challenged in Shiloh, Ill Dear Challenged: If a small fork isn’t provided to transfer the butter to your bread plate, use the butter knife to do it. If the butter is served in a dish, then use your butter knife to scoop out a portion and place it on the edge of the plate. And by the way, when you take a slice of bread, do NOT butter it all at once. Break off a bitesized piece, apply the butter, then pop it in your mouth. P.S. The butter dilemma can be avoided by substituting olive oil instead, which is healthier. When I’m in a restaurant, I often ask for olive oil, to which I add a dash of balsamic vinegar – making sure the design on my butter plate looks like modern art. Not only is it good for my heart, it’s creative and fun. P.P.S. My editor suggests adding a dash of Parmesan. Delicious!

he New Year holiday has always been a time for hope and new beginnings. Unfortunately for some, the reality will be something entirely different. Many people will welcome the arrival of the new year by overindulging with alcohol, then attempting to drive, a dangerous combination for innocent people who happen to FIREHOUSE cross the CHAT path of a drunken Lee driver. Knight I have ■■■talked to people who tell me they are better drivers after they have downed a few beers. There is no truth to this statement. Your reflexes and reaction times slow in relation to the amount you drink. I don’t understand why people would believe this, other than denial that they have a problem. Let me quote you a couple of facts: On average about 45 percent of all car accidents with fatalities are caused by drunken drivers. With each drink, your chances of being involved in a fatality while under the influence of alcohol are multiplied by three. Doesn’t sound like drinking improves driving at all. I don’t want to come across as a prude who is ranting about the evils of alcohol. What I do want people to understand is that you have no right to endanger others by being reckless. It may sound boring, but you must be a responsible drinker. Wishing you had done something different after the fact just doesn’t cut it. The damage has been done. With just a little preparation you can still bring in the new year with a bang. Calling a taxi, if available, is a good option, or make arrangements to have a designated driver. Plan to attend a party in an area with hotels. Several local radio stations plan events so people can stay overnight and stay off the roads. If you stay home and drink, leave your keys with someone not in the home so you won’t be tempted to drive. Being responsible does not eliminate your ability to have a good time, but being irresponsible could very well cost an innocent person his or her life, a heavy price to pay for a bad decision. 24/7/365: You call; we respond.

It’s a ball bearing, but a flat ball bearing. Bursitis – inflammation of a bursa – can occur in any of those 150 disks. Most often, overuse is the cause of bursitis. Have you started an exercise program? If so, back off a bit. Housemaid’s knee is an example of bursitis. It comes from pressure on the knee bursa. Scrubbing floors or laying carpet irritates the bursa. Rest, moist heat and anti-inflammatory medicines are the standard treatments. If fluid in the bursa is voluminous, doctors can drain it with a needle and syringe. A cortisone injection often brings rapid relief. Dear Dr. Donohue: I am 19 and was just dealt a setback.

Now with home monitors for checking blood sugar and with insulin pumps, even brittle diabetes can be managed more readily than it could in the past. DR.

2009:

Thanks to the men, for being such fools

A

Favre signs with the Minnesota Vikings, tearfully explaining that he “misses filming those Wrangler commercials.” Paula Abdul announces she will no longer be a judge on “American Idol.”

s a part-time professional humor columnist – which means I only have to act like a professional part of the time – I would like to extend my undying gratitude to Tiger Woods, David Letterman and South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford for their tremendous contributions to the 2009 humor industry. In the midst of a humor recession – bordering on a full-fledged humor depression – these three, um, “gentlemen” HUMOR gave the sagging humor industry Jimmy a much-needed Tomlin shot in the arm. ■■■ I mean, I haven’t heard this many sex-scandal jokes since the Clinton administration. Anyway, as a sexually charged 2009 mercifully winds down this week – triggering in all of us a desire to smoke a cigarette – let’s take a quick look back at the highlights of “2009: The Year That Was.”

SEPTEMBER South Carolina Rep. Joe Wilson, infuriated by a speech he’s listening to, angrily shouts “You lie!” at a Brett Favre press conference. “American Idol” executives agree to replace former judge Paula Abdul with someone who will make audiences laugh. Mark Sanford is unavailable, however, so they settle for Ellen DeGeneres.

OCTOBER In a stunning, on-air confession, late-night comedian David Letterman admits that for the past several years, he and a number of female staff members have been, um, hiking the Appalachian Trail. The New York Yankees win their 27th World Series, after which Alex Rodriguez is videotaped in the locker room with a syringe protruding from his buttocks. Asked about the video, Rodriguez replies that he was merely celebrating the victory with a “champagne injection.”

JANUARY Single mother Nadya Suleman gives birth to octuplets, inspiring the nickname Octomom. As a precaution, Tiger Woods leaves Suleman a voicemail, asking her to remove his number from her phone. Baseball superstar Alex Rodriguez adamantly denies ever having used steroids to enhance his performance.

FEBRUARY Alex Rodriguez finally admits – after intense media scrutiny triggered by a published report – that yes, he fathered the Octomom’s octuplets, but he has never used steroids. “Slumdog Millionaire” wins an astounding eight Academy Awards.

MARCH Disgraced former stockbroker Bernie Madoff pleads guilty to felony charges stemming from what is believed to be the largest investment fraud in Wall Street history, inspiring a new movie, “Scumbag Billionaire.”

NOVEMBER

APRIL An outbreak of swine flu prompts widespread panic among the public. On the opening day of baseball season, Alex Rodriguez is photographed with a hypodermic needle protruding from his buttocks, but insists he was simply getting his swine flu vaccination.

MAY Nothing happened this month. Really, you can look it up.

JUNE Pop superstar Michael Jackson dies. Actress Farrah Fawcett dies. Actor David Carradine dies. TV pitchman

Billy Mays dies. South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford, after tearfully admitting to an affair with a woman in Argentina – and confessing he was really with her rather than hiking the Appalachian Trail – wishes he could die.

JULY Inspired by the federal government’s “Cash for Clunkers” program, NBA superstars – claiming they’re underpaid – propose a similar program for stimulating the economy, to be called “Cash for Dunkers.”

AUGUST After months of speculation, retired NFL quarterback Brett

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

Tiger Woods crashes his car into a fire hydrant and tree, after which a parade of women step forward to announce that they, too, have been hiking the Appalachian Trail with the famed golfer. Putter jokes skyrocket.

DECEMBER Tiger Woods’ wife, Elin Nordegren, tells her husband there will be no mulligans. Meanwhile, David Letterman sends Tiger a thank-you card for making him look like a choirboy. Well, that’s it for another year. Hope it was good for you, too. Now, go take a long, cold shower, and let’s see what 2010 brings us. jtomlin@hpe.com | 888-3579

A California museum is showing artwork collected by a Delta flight attendant who started handing out crayons to passengers after the Sept. 11 attacks. The Palm Springs Air Museum is showing “Plane Art – Connecting People” through Jan. 25. Several dozen pictures are hanging at the museum, and many others are available for visitors to leaf through in folders. The pictures were collected by Delta flight attendant Jewel Van Valin. She got the idea a few months after 9/11, when the airline began substituting paper for linens as tray table covers. She said one passenger who noticed the change “threw his head back and rolled his eyes, and I could tell he was thinking, ’What’s next?’ That look clinched it for me.” Van Valin had a box of crayons in her flight bag and started putting a crayon on each tray. “The passengers started laughing and drawing,” she recalled. “It was a way to reconnect after 9/11.” She later contacted Crayola, and the company now supplies her with Rainbow Twistables, which are crayons that have four colors in one tube. Van Valin says that passengers are wary initially when she asks them if they’re “ready to have some fun, but then the crayons come out and they start laughing.” For more information about visiting the museum, go to www. palmspringsair museum.org.

Don’t second-guess what you are doing. Uncertainty is the enemy this year. Let your determination shine through. Persistence, coupled with a patient but positive attitude will capture the trust you need to gain support. Your numbers are 3, 6, 11, 16, 21, 34, 45 ARIES (March 21-April 19): It’s up to you to keep things on track and moving ahead in a positive manner. If you let anyone interfere, you will only have yourself to blame. Speed and accuracy will be your best asset. ★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): There is nothing you cannot achieve if you stick to your principles and plans. An offer or suggestion made will help you determine what you really want to achieve. You’ll be surprised by the response you get from a proposal you make. ★★★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t make the same mistake twice. If you don’t have the funds, don’t make the purchase. A little extra work may seem daunting now but the payback will make it well worth your while. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Put your heart on the line and let the one you care for most know exactly how you feel. Your plans for the future will be much more meaningful if you have someone to share them with. Focus on the possibility not the impossible. ★★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Stay calm. You do have to stick up for your rights, but you don’t have to do it indignantly. Show a little class, stand tall and speak articulately. Your point will be received loud and clear. ★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Change can turn out to be the best thing that ever happened to you. Your ability to try new things and meet new people will take you into the new year with enthusiasm. You have what it takes to survive any challenge. ★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): As long as you are compassionate, you will not only solve problems for others but will establish a good position that can lead to future advancement. Don’t let your own personal problems get to you. ★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You may be masterful at keeping things to yourself but right now it is important to share your feelings and let everyone know what you are planning to do. The help and suggestions you receive will take you by surprise and will bring you the confidence you need to move forward. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You can’t back down when you have put so much thought and preparation into your plans. Someone you’ve know forever may try to get you to pick an alternate route but, if it doesn’t feel right, take a pass. A trip will pay off. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Take control and don’t look back. You have to be the one to make your own decisions and to play your hand the way you see fit. Don’t stand by waiting to see what others are going to do when what counts is your own game plan. ★★★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t let situations escalate. Avoid arguments by keeping things light. To touch on controversial subjects when you don’t have enough ammunition will leave you in a vulnerable spot. Keep your thoughts to yourself while listening to advice. ★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Follow your heart and your dreams. A favor will be offered from someone you were acquainted with in the past. Don’t be afraid to address something that was left unfinished. Love is in the stars. ★★★★

Unlucky Louie knows he is doomed to misfortune, but the player we call Harlow the Halo has no idea how lucky he is. “The man was born on third base,” is how Louie puts it, “and thinks he hit a triple.” Against four spades, West cashed two hearts and shifted to the jack of diamonds. Harlow, the declarer, took the ace and cashed A-K of trumps. When East discarded, Harlow had to avoid a diamond loser. He took the king of clubs, led to his jack (accepting the winning finesse as his due), threw a diamond from dummy on the ace and claimed. “That finesse wouldn’t have won for me,” Louie sighed.

DAILY QUESTION

FOURTH TRICK

You hold: S A J 9 8 4 H 8 3 D A 5 2 C A J 3. Your partner opens one heart, you respond one spade and he bids two clubs. The opponents pass. What do you say?

South can succeed without the club finesse and without guessing the trumps. At Trick Four he leads a diamond to the king. He ruffs a heart, cashes the top clubs, ruffs the jack of clubs in dummy, ruffs dummy’s last heart and exits with a diamond. South’s last three cards are the A-J-9 of trumps, and dummy has the K-105. With a defender to lead, South has the rest.

ANSWER: Since your partner’s hand is still not well defined, to bid 3NT would be wrong. Partner would pass with Q 10 3, A Q J 10 6, 8, K Q 10 6 (six spades is a better spot) or 5, A K Q 7 6, K 6, Q 10 7 6 5 (six clubs has a good chance). Bid two diamonds, forcing, and let him make another descriptive bid. North dealer Neither side vulnerable

Holiday box-office record falls NEW YORK (AP) – It was a memorable and merry Christmas in Hollywood as moviegoers shattered box-office records, responding in droves to a diverse array of high-profile releases over the holiday weekend. The estimated $278 million in weekend box-office revenue broke the previous record of roughly $253 million set in July 2008, the weekend “The Dark

Knight” was released. A diverse group of films drew throngs to the multiplexes: James Cameron’s “Avatar” pushed strongly into its second week while “Sherlock Holmes,” “Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel” and “It’s Complicated” all opened. “Avatar,” the 3-D epic, topped them all, earning $75 million for 20th Century Fox, according to studio estimates Sunday.

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.

Carolina running back Jonathan Stewart (28) dodges a tackle from New York Giants cornerback Kevin Dockery in the first quarter of Sunday’s game at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.. Stewart rushed for a franchiserecord 206 yards in the Panthers’ 41-9 win over the Giants.

Panthers unleash Giant rout of NY EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) – Justin Tuck has been to the mountain with New York Giants, winning an NFL title. The defensive end and the rest of the Giants tumbled into a deep valley in their final game at Giants Stadium. It was a complete embarrassment. Matt Moore and the Carolina Panthers (7-8) brought down the house, turning the Giants’ final game in the 34-year-old stadium into of their ugliest moments in franchise history with a 41-9 rout that left New York hoping for a miracle ending to make the playoffs. “It’s tough,” Tuck said after the Giants (8-7) lost for the seventh time in 10 games. We had everything at stake playing a team that was only playing for pride, and I guess pride won. We should have been playing with a little pride ourselves.” The Giants, who started 5-0, knew what was at stake. They needed to win their final two

games and hope that either Green Bay or Dallas lost one of their remaining two. Coupled with Green Bay’s win over Seattle, the only way the Giants can get to the playoffs for the fifth straight year would be if Dallas lost its final two games, starting on Sunday night against Washington, and New York beat Minnesota next week. Can you say wishful thinking? Giants fans are skeptical: After booing their defense most of the day, many left the stadium well before the game ended. After a holding penalty nullified a touchdown pass and a later fumble cost them the ball on their opening possession, the Giants played like a team going through the motions and the Panthers dominated. Moore threw three touchdown passes, Jonathan Stewart rushed for a franchise-best 206 yards and the Panthers shredded New

York’s defense for 416 yards, including 247 rushing. “We had to come out here and play tough and play to win, regardless of what they had on the line,” said Moore, who completed 15 of 20 passes for 171 in his seventh NFL start. Stewart, who has 1,008 yards rushing this season and joined teammate DeAngelo Williams (1,117) in the 1,000-yard club this season, ran for a 29-yard touchdown and set up a 1-yard score by Brad Hoover with his 52-yard rush. The Giants didn’t score until Carolina built a 31-0 lead early in the third quarter. The victory was the third in four games for Panthers coach John Fox, whose future with the team remains cloudy. Moore found Carolina’s Steve Smith for a 27-yard TD on the opening possession of the third quarter, but Smith broke his arm on the play and left the game. He is scheduled to have surgery today.

TAMPA BAY 20 N. ORLEANS (OT) 17

UNCG’s big week starts with Wake GREENSBORO – Wake Forest kicks off UNC Greensboro’s big week tonight. The Demon Deacons (8-2) are the first of three Atlantic Coast Conference teams that the Spartans (2-8) will host at the Greensboro Coliseum in the next seven days. N.C. State comes in on New Year’s Eve, followed by Maryland on Sunday. The games will be the fourth, fifth and sixth times that the Spartans take on ACC opponents this season. They opened with losses at Duke (96-62), Virginia Tech (59-46) and Clemson (89-67). They also lost handily to East Carolina, which was soundly throttled by the Deacons. The Demon Deacons and Spartans could be a little rusty. Wake is playing for the first time since defeating N.C. State 67-59 on Dec. 20, while UNCG hasn’t played since losing 89-63 to Richmond on Tuesday. “I think we want to win so badly that we’ve been a little bit tight,” Demon Deacon coach Dino Gaudio said after the State game. “I’ve been trying to do things before the games to loosen them up.” Gaudio is looking for more consistent play from leading scorer Al-Farouq Aminu after he commited seven turnovers to go with a double-double of 18 points and 13 rebounds against the Wolfpack. That followed a 13-point, 17rebound, three-turnover outing against UNC Wilmington for Aminu. who is averaging 16.1 points and 10.7 rebounds per game. “You look at the stats and I didn’t think he played well at UNCW with a similar line (as in the State game),” Gaudio said. “He just has to slow down a little bit. He’s trying to do too much off the dribble. He’s trying to play a little too fast.” Wake will be seeking to stop Spartan guard Brandon Evans and forward Ben Stywell. Evans leads UNCG with an average of 12.4 points per game with Stywell averaging 11.7.

NFL CAROLINA NY GIANTS

any years ago, a friend told me the two tell-tale signs of aging. “Mark, you know you’re getting old when you starting hurting in places you either didn’t have or didn’t know you had in your 20s,” he began. “And you really know you’re old when you start every third or fourth sentence with the phrase ‘Boy, I sure do miss the time when...” Well, I qualify on both counts, but I’ll limit today’s ramblings to the second part of that equation. I sure do miss the time when we knew who was the college football national champion

after the New Year’s Day bowl games. When I was younger, the Cotton, Rose, Sugar and Orange Bowls were all played on Jan. 1. By the time the last of those big four bowls ended, you almost always knew who would be crowned national champs in the Associated Press and United Press International polls released the following day. Once in a while, there was uncertainty and you had the occasional split national championship, but we knew what was what by Jan. 2. That time has come and long gone. With Jan. 1 just four days away, you might

think we’d be close to crowning a BCS national champion. Wrong. There are still an astonishing 23 bowls to be played before we arrive at the BCS national title game on Jan. 7 in Pasadena, Calif. In case you’ve forgotten, and it’s completely understandable if you have, top-ranked Alabama (13-0) and second-ranked Texas (130) will clash for the BCS crown on the night of the 7th. So we’re a mere 10 days away from the big game. I’m sure the time will fly by.

Terrell Owens had little chance to celebrate an important career milestone. Owens became only the sixth player in NFL history to catch 1,000 passes Sunday, but his Buffalo Bills had too little offense in a lopsided 31-3 loss to Atlanta. Owens had four catches for 39 yards and said he didn’t make a big deal about joining Jerry Rice, Marvin Harrison, Cris Carter, Tim Brown, and Isaac Bruce as the only players with 1,000 receptions. Owens reached the milestone with an 8-yard catch in the second quarter. Owens entered the game needing two catches to reach 1,000 for his career, which began in 1996. He reached the milestone in 203 games. Only Harrison and Rice reached 1,000 career receptions in fewer games.

Falcons’ McKay to stay another five years ATLANTA (AP) — Atlanta Falcons president Rich McKay has signed a new five-year contract that runs through June 2015. Falcons owner Arthur Blank announced the deal after a 31-3 victory Sunday over Buffalo. Terms of the contract were not disclosed. Blank removed McKay’s duties as general manager and his control of player personnel after the Falcons’ disastrous 2007 season included the imprisonment of quarterback Michael Vick and the abrupt resignation of coach Bobby Petrino. Thomas Dimitroff took over as GM while McKay began exploring potential sites and financial arrangements for a new Falcons stadium in metro Atlanta. McKay originally joined the Falcons as team president-GM in December 2003 after leaving Tampa Bay.

Meyer expects to be leading Gators in ‘10

AP

New York Jets running back Thomas Jones (left) is pushed out of bounds by Indianapolis cornerback Jamie Silva in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s in Indianapolis. The Jets defeated the Colts 29-15 to end Indy’s quest for a perfect regular season. The Colts fell to 14-1, while the Jets improved to 8-7 and stayed in the AFC wild-card chase.

PACKERS 48, SEAHAWKS 10

INDIANAPOLIS – The Indianapolis Colts won’t go undefeated this season. The Colts (14-1) pulled Peyton Manning and a handful of other starters with a 15-10 lead and 5:36 left in the third quarter, and the New York Jets took advantage to rally for a 29-15 victory that ended the NFL’s longest regular-season winning streak at 23. Brad Smith opened the second half with a 106-yard kickoff return to give New York (8-7) a 10-9 lead. The Colts regained the lead at 15-10 when Donald Brown scored on a 1yard run. But after Manning left, Marques Douglas returned a fumble from Manning’s replacement, Curtis Painter, 1 yard for a score. The Jets sealed it with a 43-yard field goal and Thomas Jones’ 1-yard TD run in the fourth quarter. They will make the playoffs if they beat Cincinnati next Sunday. It was the Colts’ first loss since Oct. 27, 2008 at Tennessee, and it ended a franchise-record 13-game winning streak at home.

PATRIOTS 35, JAGUARS 7 FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Tom Brady threw four touchdown passes, three to Randy Moss, and the young defense put together its third straight solid game, clinching the AFC East and further dimming the Jaguars’ slim postseason chances. For the Patriots (10-5), it was another encouraging outing in what had been an inconsistent season. They took the division after missing the playoffs last season for the first time since 2002 despite an 11-5 record.

BENGALS 17, CHIEFS 10 CINCINNATI – Carson Palmer’s touchdown pass to Chad Ochocinco completed a 98-yard drive in the closing minutes, sending Cincinnati to the AFC North championship at the end of a rough week. The Bengals (10-5) moved into the playoffs for only the second time in the past 19 years after dealing with the death of receiver Chris Henry. The teary practices and lockerroom grief seemed to show against the Chiefs (3-12), who stayed close in a mistake-filled game.

BUCCANEERS 20, SAINTS 17

GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Packers are going back to the playoffs, forcing four interceptions by Matt Hasselbeck, then getting a big boost from the Carolina Panthers. Sunday’s victory, combined with the New York Giants’ blowout loss to Carolina, put the Packers (10-5) back in the postseason after going 6-10 last season and getting off to a disappointing 4-4 start this year.

NEW ORLEANS – Carnell Williams had 129 yards rushing and Connor Barth kicked a 47-yard field goal in overtime, lifting the Buccaneers to a stunning victory that prevented New Orleans from securing home-field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs. The Saints (13-2) had a chance to win in the final seconds of regulation, but Garrett Hartley missed a 37-yard field goal.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) – Florida coach Urban Meyer changed his mind Sunday and said he was taking an indefinite leave of absence instead of resigning. Despite ongoing concerns with his health, he expects to be on the sideline leading the Gators when next season opens. “I do in my gut believe that will happen,� Meyer said at a Sugar Bowl news conference. Offensive coordinator Steve Addazio will run the team during Meyer’s absence, but Meyer will be the coach against No. 4 Cincinnati on New Year’s Day. “It’s full speed ahead. We’re going to do everything possible to win this game,� he said. Less than 24 hours earlier Meyer stunned all of college football, saying he was resigning due to health concerns, leaving the school after five seasons and two national titles. But that was not to be the final decision, after all. Earlier in the week university president Bernie Machen offered and encouraged Meyer to take a leave of absence instead of just leaving. After conferring with his wife and three children and athletic director Jeremy Foley, Meyer pulled back and said he was accepting that offer instead “to improve my health.� The 45-year-old Meyer said being with his players at a “spirited practice� Sunday morning persuaded him not

to resign. Still, his health concerns remain. After the Southeastern ConMeyer ference championship game three weeks ago, Meyer spent several hours in a Gainesville, Fla., hospital because of chest pains. Meyer said he had experienced similar problems at times this season but had not had a heart attack. However, he would not elaborate on his physical condition. Asked if doctors advised him to stop coaching, Meyer again declined to answer. Foley said when he went to bed Saturday night he did not think there was any chance Meyer would change his mind. Gators quarterback Tim Tebow said he and several of his teammates cried when they found out that Meyer was stepping down and were elated when he told them he changed his mind. Tebow will be playing his last game in the Sugar Bowl against an unbeaten Cincinnati team that will be led by an interim coach. Brian Kelly left the Bearcats earlier this month to take over at Notre Dame. Meyer is 56-10 with Florida, including 32-8 in the SEC and a schoolrecord 22-game winning streak that was snapped by the Crimson Tide in the conference title game on Dec. 5.

TODAY’S INDEPENDENCE BOWL

---

Who: Georgia (7-5) vs. Texas A&M (6-6) When: 5 p.m. (ESPN2) Line: Georgia by 7. Series record: Texas A&M leads 3-1. What’s at stake: Georgia has played in January in six of its last seven bowls, so the Independence Bowl is a bit of a let down. But if coach Mark Richt wants to push his postseason win streak to four and set the stage for the Bulldogs to return to elite status next season, Shreveport is a great place to start. For Texas A&M, a win is the next step in coach Mike Sherman’s rebuilding effort. Key matchup: Texas A&M quarterback Jerrod Johnson vs. Georgia’s secondary. The Bulldogs were 10th in the Southeastern Conference, allowing 200.8 yards per game passing. They’ve struggled against doublethreat quarterbacks with losses to three teams featuring quarterbacks that can run and pass. Players to watch: Georgia: LB Rennie Curran Jr. The Georgia defense has struggled as a unit, but still has one of the SEC’s best defenders. Curran finished with 122 tackles this year to lead the SEC (10.2 per game). Texas A&M: DE Von Miller. A guy named Suh got all the attention this year, but Miller led the nation in sacks with 17. He also was fifth in tackles for loss with 21. Facts & figures: The Bulldogs are 6-2 in the postseason under Richt. ... The Aggies have lost three straight bowl games with their last appearance coming in the 2007 Alamo Bowl. ... The teams last played each other in the postseason in the 1950 Presidential Cup. A&M won 40-20.

Vasquez leads Maryland past Florida Atlantic COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) – Greivis Vasquez scored 26 points, Landon Milbourne had 19, and Maryland improved to 6-0 at home with a 72-59 victory over Florida Atlantic on Sunday. It was the third straight game in which Vasquez reached the 20-point mark. The senior guard went 12-for-20 from the field, had eight rebounds and five assists to help Maryland (8-3) to its fourth win in five games. The Terrapins played without second-leading scorer Sean Mosley, who has a sprained left ankle. The sophomore forward participated in warmups and dressed for the game but did not see action for the first time in his career. Ray Taylor, a 5-foot-6 freshman, scored 16 points and Greg Gantt added 14 for Florida Atlantic (5-7). Brett Royster had 14 rebounds to help FAU finish with a 49-45 advantage on the boards. After the Owls used a 10-2 spree to cut an 18-point deficit to 52-42, baskets by Milbourne, Vasquez and freshman center Jordan Williams put Maryland up by 16 with 10:41 left.

Shoppers spend a little more during holiday season NEW YORK (AP) – Holiday shoppers spent a little more this season, according to data released Monday, giving merchants some reason for cheer. The spending bounce means retailers managed to avoid a repeat of last year’s disaster even amid tight credit and double-digit unemployment. Profits should be healthier, too, because stores had a year to plan their inventories to match consumer demand and never needed to resort to fire-sale clearances. Retail sales rose 3.6 percent from Nov. 1 through Dec. 24, compared with a 3.2 percent drop in the yearago period, according to figures from MasterCard Advisors’ Spend-

ingPulse, which track all forms of payment, including cash. Adjusting for an extra shopping day between Thanksgiving and Christmas, the number was closer to a 1 percent gain. Last year, the economy was in “critical condition,” said Michael McNamara, vice president at MasterCard Advisors’ SpendingPulse. “This year, it’s in stable condition.” A major winter storm that slammed the Northeast and shut in shoppers on the Saturday before Christmas derailed sales. But consumers appeared to have made up for the loss by shopping in advance of the storm and the days leading up to Christmas.

“We had a pretty decent surge,” McNamara said. Online sales were a particular hot spot, fueled by a big increase the weekend before Christmas. They rose 15.5 percent on the season, though they make up less than 10 percent of all retail sales. One worrisome sign: Merchants are facing big hurdles to lure shoppers back in January amid lean inventories and what appear to be weak gift card sales. Gift card sales are recorded only when they are redeemed. Stores count on a post-Christmas boost because of the growing importance of January on the retail sales calendar. Last year, the week after Christmas accounted for 15 percent

of overall holiday sales, according to ShopperTrak, a research firm. Retail consultant Burt P. Flickinger describes gift cards as “the lifeblood” of the post-Christmas season, because shoppers typically spend more than the value of the cards. “Retailers with a disappointing December are going to need January to survive,” Flickinger said. “Inventories are even too low for retailers.” Karen MacDonald, a spokeswoman at Taubman Centers Inc., said a survey among its centers this past weekend showed that merchants are on track to generate on average low single-digit sales increases from a year ago, though they still have a week to go.

2010 could the year for blue chips NEW YORK (AP) – Investors are about to get picky. After a nearly 10-month rally across the stock market, investors are starting to look for specific stocks to bet on in the new year. And analysts say large-cap companies, which include household names like Kraft Foods Inc., IBM Corp. and AT&T Inc., may see greater demand in the coming months as investors look for relatively safe stocks. A shift into big, well-established companies is a natural progression in the rally, market analysts say. Investors spent much of

DILBERT

2009 buying shares of companies whose stocks had suffered the biggest losses during the financial crisis. Market players are now expected to become more cautious and deliberate in their stock picking, and are likely to revisit blue chips that have lagged the broader market. “It’s typical after market selloffs and when coming out of a recessionary environment that the beaten down names rally and do well,” said Mark Eibel, director of client investment strategies at Russell Investments. “What tends to happen six to nine months later is higher quality

names start to take over the leadership.” Record-low interest rates made it easy for investors to borrow money cheaply and take chances on more risky stocks and commodities this year. Among the stocks that led the market were financial companies that benefited from the government’s stimulus programs. Bank of America Corp., for example, has risen about 309 percent since the rally began March 10, while Citigroup Inc., which plunged below $1 earlier this year, has gained 218 percent. Insurance company Genworth Financial Inc., one of

the best performing stocks on the Standard & Poor’s 500 index this year, has soared 1,208 percent. The shares of many big, financially sound compa-

nies haven’t done as well. Half the 30 stocks that make up the Dow Jones industrial average have not seen gains as big as the S&P 500’s 66.5 percent advance.

A Raleigh entrepreneur is investing millions of dollars in a new bowlingthemed entertainment center in Mebane that will open in the spring. Roger Camp has spent a career as the head of Piedmont Center Investments, a Raleigh real estate development firm that manages shopping centers. But his Z-Bowl family entertainment center is a major step into a different kind of business. A 50,000-square-foot enterprise at East Washington and Fifth streets in downtown Mebane, Z-Bowl will feature a 6,000-square-foot arcade, 18 state-of-the-art bowling lanes, private party rooms, and a bar and restaurant. It is expected to employ 50 people. In all, it will cost $6 million to $7 million to open. With banks hesitant to lend to entrepreneurs right now, that’s money that Camp is mostly paying himself. But he said he’s willing to take the risk. “I’m sort of an entrepreneurial guy,” Camp said. “There’s sort of an itch.”

Closed auto showrooms find new purpose COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) – With hard times in the auto industry and car dealerships closing around the country, the gleaming showrooms that once featured next year’s models are becoming this year’s new store, restaurant, school, day care center or yoga studio. In Lane County, Ore., Joe Softich from Catholic Community Services helps erect shelves and unload boxes for a new food bank warehouse inside a former auto showroom. Students on the campus of the Columbus College of Art & Design in Ohio can learn in a space where evidence of automaking’s proud past is still visible. “If you look historically at the times when we’ve had these big shifts in (building) use, they’ve coincided with societal shifts,” said Erin Rae Hoffer, an architect on staff at Boston-based Autodesk.

Charlotte’s Eastland Mall to close by March MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

The city expects Eastland Mall to close by March, marking the end of its decade-long struggle to remain viable, according to newly released

accounts of private City Council discussions. Tom Flynn, Charlotte’s head of economic development, says the mall’s principal owner, Miami Beachbased LNR, told officials in September it would close the mall if the city didn’t

buy it. The council decided against that Nov. 16. Eastland, built in 1975 as a regional shopping destination, has lost customers to other malls, such as SouthPark and Northlake. About half of the retail space inside is empty.

Winter weather boosts flooding concerns

HOUSTON (AP) – A four-foot pile of ash and charred debris is all that remains of the Rodriguez family’s two-story garage, which had been stuffed with tools, machinery, couches and appliances when a mysterious fire ripped through it earlier this month. It was the 22nd arson that has taken place since August in a historic Houston neighborhood called the Heights, known more for its comforting smalltown feel in the midst of big city sprawl than for being the center of criminal activity.

The National Weather Service also issued flood warnings for parts of the South and Midwest, and winter weather advisories were still in effect in sections of Nebraska, the Dakotas, and Michigan through late Sunday morning.
