HIGH POINT – The usual surge in end-of-year donations to local charities isn’t what it used to be. Thrift store managers and nonprofit leaders are reporting fewer donations for the last week in December, one of their most vital weeks, compared to similar years. “We aren’t receiving as much this year as we have in previous years,” said Ron Rice, store manager for the High Point Salvation Army Family Store. “Some people are holding onto their items longer in this economy.” Donors usually rush their cash or durable goods to nonprofits this week to take advantage of charitable deductions before taxes are filed next year, Rice said. This year, however, sales and shopper traffic have increased at the store, located at 1501 S. Main St., while donations have decreased. Chris Gorham, representative for Goodwill Industries of Central North Carolina, said Goodwill stores in the Triad have seen a slight surge in donations this week, though the surge isn’t nearly as large as in recent years. The last weeks in December usually bring up to eight times the amount of donations compared to the rest of the year. Those donations account for 7 to 10 percent of the organization’s annual donations, he said. Gorham also blames economic conditions for the drop. “We’re seeing an uptick, but it isn’t the same uptick we’ve seen

The move will save taxpayers a total of $13,200 over four years. “I feel totally committed to the citizens,” he said. “I don’t need

the money. The citizens of my city are hurting. I know that. If it can go to benefit anybody, I’m happy with that. If I know of anybody who does have a need, then I’m willing to work the issue to help alleviate the need.” Ann Bailie, Trinity’s city manager, said Boyles’ salary would remain in the general fund. She said of the $22,500 budgeted for the eight-member City Council and the mayor, City Council members are paid $200 and the mayor $275. The salaries are different

Brazilian family wants boy back SAO PAULO – The Brazilian family of a 9-year-old boy returned by court order to his U.S. father said Tuesday it will fight to regain custody. Lawyers for the relatives of Sean Goldman said they will push forward with a request from his Brazilian grandmother to allow the boy to make his own wishes known in court.

Iran near deal on raw uranium VIENNA – Iran is close to clinching a deal to clandestinely import 1,350 tons of purified uranium ore from Kazakhstan, according to an intelligence report obtained by The Associated Press on Tuesday. Diplomats said the assessment was heightening international concern about Tehran’s nuclear activities. Such a deal would be significant because Tehran appears to be running out of the material, which it needs to feed its uranium enrichment program.

Afghanistan pressed to delay election KABUL – U.S. Congressmen said Tuesday they are urging Afghan President Hamid Karzai to delay the next parliamentary ballot until electoral reforms are in place or risk American financial support for his government. Karzai insists the elections must be held in May despite widespread concerns about their credibility, the U.S. legislators said.

What did Hagan accomplish for us this year? Our freshman senator has come home to North Carolina following her first year of duty in the U.S. Senate. What did she do? What did she accomplish? What is her future? First, Sen. Hagan bowed down to Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., the Democratic leader, and followed his dictates in voting for all Democratic legislation including the infamous health care reform bill. Our senator, along with other Democrats, was not involved in the private and secret meetings conducted by Reid in developing the health care bill. However, all those Democratic senators voted for the bill which they had not read and probably have not read as of today. Hagan accomplished very little this year for North Carolina, and her future is tied directly to the Democratic Party, which will continue to dictate her actions in the Senate. During the year, our new senator was not available for town meetings or other open meetings unless she approved your participation in closed sessions. Numerous calls, e-mails and letters to her various offices received no response except for a form letter thank you. Yes, she did send a form letter explaining her position on the health care bill that she has not read. I believe the form letter was prepared by the Senate Democratic leadership for distribution. So, the senator is home, resting and ready to receive your calls, letters, faxes and e-mails on important issues for North Caro-

lina. Don’t expect a quick reply, although we can hope. DON MULLIGAN High Point

Hagan shouldn’t blindly support health care bill It concerns me that every health care bill Sen. Harry Reid proposes is put together in a shroud of secrecy, hidden from the public and even members of the Senate. Then, when it is unveiled, very little time is given for reading and understanding it before the vote ... and no time for informed public input. The bill may be good, but how in the world do our senators know if they haven’t had time to read and understand it? There is no good reason to rush through this. My understanding (which may not be correct) is that most of the provisions don’t even come into effect for a few years, so what is the rush? It makes me think that the Senate leadership wanted to sneak something through the Senate (and sneaky stuff usually isn’t good). I also don’t think it is good to be giving certain senators things for their states in order to get their vote. It’s just wrong. I hope that our Democratic Sen. Kay Hagan will not continue to support something that she

doesn’t understand (not because she is not capable, but because she hasn’t been given time to digest it) in order to stay in the good graces of the Senate leadership. It’s not worth it. It’s better to properly represent the people of North Carolina by casting an informed vote. DAVID HORNEY High Point

this liberal agenda does. The polls show the people of this nation don’t want this, but the Democrats are determined to ram it through with their closed-door meetings and shady dealings. I hope in the next election we can start to take this country back. Thank you for your time, and I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas. DEWEY LIVENGOOD Archdale

Bill is another attack on free enterprise system This health care bill is really insurance reform and another stab at free enterprise by this president. It has nothing to do with health care, except harming the elderly and taking money from Medicare and Medicaid to help pay for this farce, plus raising taxes again, which is another thing the Democrats love to do. I want to thank Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C., and Rep. Howard Coble, R-6th, for their work on trying to defeat this. I see where the Enterprise proudly posted what Sen. (vote for anything President Obama wants and not stand up for the people of this state and nation) Hagan had to say on the front page, but buried Sen. Burr’s comments in the back of the article. It doesn’t surprise me for the media sugarcoats everything

OUR VIEW

t pretty much was business as usual Monday at Piedmont Triad International Airport. According to PTIA Executive Director Ted Johnson, passenger security and screening procedures remained about the same or slightly heightened at the airport three days after a terrorist failed to pull off an attack on an international airline flight approaching Detroit on Christmas Day. Despite the outward appearance of little, if any, heightening of security at PTIA because it has no international flights and because last Friday’s attempt appears to be a single incident, let’s hope Transportation Security Administration officials and other security personal at PTIA and around the nation are learning from failings that allowed the Nigerian-born terrorist onto an airplane. And one of those failings touches the controversy over use of full-body scanners to detect the presence of weapons or chemicals that could be used in an attempted takeover or downing of an airplane. Security experts say it’s likely that high-tech, fullbody scanners currently available would have detected the presence of bomb-making elements on suspect Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab’s body if such scanners had been used at his boarding in Europe. In the U.S., questions raised by the American Civil Liberties Union, some in Congress and others about privacy issues have slowed broad use of such full-body scanning technology at airports. We don’t object to privacy questions being raised about this, but we do object to continued delay in the use of these security measures when reasonable solutions seemingly to all of those privacy questions appear to have been found. For examples, monitors showing full body scans can be hidden from public view, viewers of scans have no visual or physical contact with people being scanned, security personnel with visual contact do not view scans and equipment cannot store, print or transmit images. The use of full-body scan technology can help make airplanes safer. It requires a proper balance of personal privacy and high-tech security measures. However, the desired results can be achieved.

Obama: ‘Systemic failure’ unacceptable HONOLULU (AP) – President Barack Obama said Tuesday “a systemic failure� allowed the attempted Christmas Day attack on a Detroit-bound flight from Amsterdam. He called it “totally unacceptable.� The president said he wants preliminary results by Thursday from two investigations he has ordered to examine the many lapses that occurred. “There was a mix of human and systemic failures that contributed to this potential catastrophic breach of security,� Obama said. It will take weeks for a more comprehensive investigation into what allowed a 23-year-old Nigerian carrying explosives onto the flight despite the fact the suspect had possible ties to al-Qaida, Obama said. “It’s essential that we diagnose the problems quickly,� the president said, interrupting his vacation for a second consecutive day to address the incident, with more anger this time directed at the flaws in the U.S. system. The suspect, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, was on one advisory list, but never made it onto more restrictive lists that would have caught the attention of U.S. counterterrorist screeners, despite his father’s warnings to U.S. Embassy officials in Nigeria last month. Those warnings also did not result in Abdulmutallab’s U.S. visa being revoked.

New Year’s Eve ‘Blue moon’ to ring in 2010 LOS ANGELES – Once in a blue moon there is one on New Year’s Eve. Revelers ringing in 2010 will be treated to a socalled blue moon. According to popular definition, a blue moon is the second full moon in a month. But don’t expect it to be blue – the name has nothing to do with the color of our closest celestial neighbor. A full moon occurred on Dec. 2. It will appear again on Thursday.

USS Cole bombing survivor dies in home WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – U.S. Navy Petty Officer 3rd Class Johann Gokool lost his left foot when a bomb ripped a hole in the side of the USS Cole nearly a decade ago. He returned home to Florida suffering severe post-traumatic stress disorder and frequent panic attacks so violent he would launch into seizures. One of his brothers found him dead in their home last Wednesday.

WASHINGTON (AP) – The Obama administration claim that “the system worked� after a failed aircraft bombing wasn’t quite as jolting as President George W. Bush’s “Brownie, you’re doing a heckuva job� while New Orleans sank under deadly Hurricane Katrina. But both raised disturbing questions about presidential response in a time of crisis. Bush’s praise for his beleaguered FEMA director, Michael Brown, came while storm evacuees remained trapped in the Louisiana Superdome and victims’ bloated bodies floated in the streets. It became a clarion call for all his administration did wrong during the 2005 calamity

Studies spotlight problems in FDA device approvals CHICAGO (AP) – Two new studies find shortfalls in the Food and Drug Administration’s approval process for heart devices such as pacemakers and stents.

– and a larger symbol of all that people disliked generally about Bush. Obama is dealing with a crisis of a different sort, Friday’s attempt by a 23-year-old Nigerian to blow up a Detroit-bound flight from Amsterdam. It ended with only a quickly extinguished fire, no lives lost and the man in custody. Still, the close call prompted alarm about government performance. Officials insist the assertion, made by Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and White House press secretary Robert Gibbs Sunday on television talk shows, referred only to heightened security procedures scrambled into place after the incident.

Man sentenced in ‘07 slaying BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – A High Point man was sentenced to a prison term after pleading guilty in connection with a homicide that occurred two years ago. Charles Ray Brooks, 36, is serving a minimum of 46 months and a maximum of 65 months behind bars after his case was resolved in court earlier this month. Brooks pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter in the death of Melissa

Elizabeth Marsden, who suffered a gunshot wound to the head during a disturbance in Brooks a southeast High Point neighborhood on Sept. 13, 2007. Brooks initially was charged with murder, but prosecutors let him plead guilty to the lesser charge of voluntary manslaughter – defined by law as an intentional killing with-

out malice, generally in the heat of passion after provocation – because the available evidence would have made it difficult to secure a murder conviction. “There were problems with the case. We had witnesses who weren’t cooperating or who we were having difficulty locating,” said Guilford County Assistant District Attorney Walt Jones. Marsden, 37, was found lying in the 300 block of Park Street by police officers responding to a dis-

turbance call. She was apparently shot during an argument. Marsden and Brooks both lived in the neighborhood and were acquainted but were not in a domestic relationship, prosecutors said. “There was also a question of whether (Brooks) had acted in self-defense, because there were several witnesses who had reported (Marsden) coming at him with a piece of pipe before he shot her,” Jones said. “We found some common ground there in terms

of resolving the thing.” After she was shot, Marsden lived for a month before she succumbed to complications from her injuries. Brooks allegedly fled to Florida after the shooting, and later was apprehended in that state. A woman accused of aiding his getaway, Malissa Jolene Gantt, faces a charge of accessory after the fact that is still pending, prosecutors said. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Oak Hollow Mall is losing a tenant that dates from the shopping center’s opening 14 years ago, reflecting an upand-down year in which the mall made some progress filling vacancies while still contending with challenges. New York & Co. Inc., which occupies a lower-level corner space near the entrance to the Belk department store, is holding a going-out-of-business sale. Signs in the window of the women’s clothing store indicate the retailer is selling merchandise at a discount as part of the closing. New York & Co. has had a business license with the city of High Point since 1995, the year Oak Hollow Mall opened. A representative with the New York City-based company couldn’t be reached for comment Tuesday by The High Point Enterprise, but the retailer’s most recent quarterly earnings report, released last month, indicates that New York & Co. continues in a cost-containment mode announced as part of a business strategy at the first of this year. Management representatives with Oak Hollow Mall and its parent company, CBL & Associates Properties Inc. based in Chattanooga, Tenn., are not available this week during the holidays. Oak Hollow Mall has experienced success this year filling vacant space, most dramatically earlier this month when Sears relocated its customer support center in High Point to the former anchor space once home to Steve & Barry’s and Goody’s. Several hundred workers now come to the mall daily to work at the Sears Product Services Marketing Center, which is separate from the Sears department store that’s been at the mall since its opening. Oak Hollow Mall also has succeeded in recruiting other nontraditional tenants, such as the Arts Evangelica Christian dance studio that opened this past summer. But the mall had one of its anchor tenants, Dillard’s department store, change its location earlier this year from a full-scale store to a clearance center, similar to an outlet store. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

Davidson County Community College’s new Transportation Technology Building will house the Heavy Equipment, Automotive Technology and Transport Technology programs

DCCC hosts ceremony to open new building ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

DAVIDSON COUNTY – A ribbon-cutting ceremony will held next week for the first building to ever be built solely with grant funds on the campus of Davidson County Community College. The event for the new Davidson County Community College Transportation Technology Center will held at 4 p.m. Tuesday. The center will house the college’s new Heavy Equipment and Transport Technology program that incorporates diesel engine repair and logistics in its curriculum. Also housed in the new center is the expanded Automotive Technology program that outgrew its quarters in the Sinclair Building. Students will begin classes in the new center on Jan. 11 when the spring 2009 semester opens. The 11,350-square-foot facility includes bays large enough to hold tractor trailers as well as massive, earth-moving machinery. It was built using $810,000 in grant funds from the U.S. Department of Commerce and Economic Development, $850,000 from a North Carolina Facilities and Equipment grant, and a $300,000 award from the GoldenLEAF Foundation.

The center’s design allows for multiple uses and easy adaptation to meet the evolving needs of regional transportation employers. It will help college students prepare for as many as 600 projected new jobs expected in the logistics and transportation fields in coming years. College officials say a long and arduous process preceded

The 11,350-squarefoot Transportation Technology Center was built using state and federal grants. the first shovel of dirt that was turned in October 2008 to begin construction of the building. Before the federal grant was written and approved, the college’s board of trustees made several trips to Washington, D.C., to share their vision of providing a center that would allow the college to expand its transportation technology services to regional employers. “Through this process, we learned that our idea was the right idea,” college President

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

Mary Rittling said, referring to the idea of targeting specific needs in the transportation, technology and logistics industry. “Collectively, we will provide a much-needed service for our community which is the heart and soul and mission of the community college.” Many area and regional companies wrote letters of support for the project, stating their confidence in the college with its excellent geographic position in the middle of a state with a good transportation system. The college’s advanced technology will allow a new concentration in logistics services, providing crucial information about products and services that are moved around the globe. The center’s design uses a wide corridor to divide the public space from the large adaptable classrooms and heavy equipment and automotive bays. This allows prospective students and visitors views of the learning environment where biofuels and other alternative energy sources will be studied and investigated and diesel and gasoline engines will be diagnosed and repaired. The general contractor for the $1.8 million project was Greensboro-based MorlandoHolden Construction.

Dear Eddie: Your statement that if Doreen plans to date someone else, you should be free to do the same seems logical to me. Continue to have an affectionate, loving friendship with her – and by all means “be gentle� – but keep your options open and date others in the knowledge that if her snowbird flies home, she’ll be billing and cooing with him, and you’ll be flying solo. Dear Abby: I have a big problem – my fatherin-law, “Hal.� He has lived with us more than eight years and has never contributed anything

amille BreeAnne Johnson was 5 years old when her family relocated from Pomona, Calif., to the Deep South in Baton Rouge, La. It was difficult for Johnson to fit in because the local children “spotted her out.â€? They teased her for excessive enunciation, and she had no intention of imitating their drawl. Her resistance continued until her family took a day trip to New Orleans. “I remember that first trip. I was 6 ABOVE years old. I AND was walking BEYOND downtown with my parPatty Jo ents past all Sawvel these little â– â– â– stores and there was jazz music pouring into the streets. It made me feel like I was home,â€? Johnson said. After that, her family visited New Orleans about twice a month. Johnson was surprised to find that she liked to eat crawfish ĂŠtouffĂŠe, and shy as she was, she found herself dancing in the street. At school, Johnson began to relax and forge lasting friendships. Then, when she was 10, she saw another side of New Orleans. It happened while her class was on a field trip. “I thought we were caught in a parade, but then I saw people dancing with a casket. They would lift it up over their heads and push it to the side like they were going to pass it to someone else. Then they would bring it back down to their chest and rock it back and forth like a swing,â€? Johnson said. This was so different from the funerals Johnson had witnessed in her own family, where death was surrounded by sorrow, sadness and silence. But here in New Orleans, they were celebrating. Her teacher explained that the locals were giving the deceased person “one last dance.â€? By the time Johnson was 15, she’d fully adopted her new hometown. She dreamed of going to college and then raising her own family near New Orleans. Then, on Aug. 25, 2005, Hurricane Katrina changed the town forever. In 2008, Johnson’s family moved to Kernersville. Then, in the summer of 2009, she and her two sisters went back to New Orleans for a visit. Water marks still scarred the buildings, and Coast Guard spray paint still marred the walls. It was not the same. “It felt like something was missing. The Big Easy spirit was gone. It felt like a big New Orleans funeral. The people are giving the city one last dance, but you can see that they are grieving what they lost,â€? Johnson said. Intent on keeping her memory of New Orleans alive, Johnson plans to serve crawfish ĂŠtouffĂŠe with a little jazz and dancing on the side at her upcoming graduation party from East Forsyth High School.

Nasal polyps can obstruct breathing

D

ear Dr. Donohue: The right side of my nose is totally blocked, and the left side is getting there. If I walk at all fast, I have to breathe through my mouth. I don’t like seeing doctors, but I figured I had put this off for too long. The doctor says I have nasal polyps, and he has referred me to an ear, nose and throat doctor for removal. How does a person get nasal polyps? Are they the same as colon polyps? Is there treatment other than surgery? – H.O.

BLONDIE

Polyps are soft, peasize growths that spring from the lining tissue of many organs, including the colon and the nose. Nose polyps are gray to white and are filled with a gelatinous material. They can be induced by chronic sinus infections, allergies, aspirin sensitivity and asthma. More often than not, none of those is present in a polyp patient. The polyps just grew. Unlike colon polyps, nasal polyps are rarely, if ever, a precursor to cancer. A young woman once wrote to me, saying her mother had a nasal polyp that became cancerous. I believe that her mother was diagnosed as having a nasal polyp, but in truth it was most likely, from the start, a nasal cancer, a very rare kind of cancer. Large nasal polyps can obstruct the flow of air through the nose completely. They also can produce a runny nose. You can mention to the ear, nose and throat

doctor your reluctance to have surgery. Cortisone sprays like Flonase, Rhinocort or Nasarel can shrink polyps, but they often return after the spray is

discontinued. Polyp surgery isn’t as daunting as you might imagine. Dear Dr. Donohue: Two years ago, I had a heart attack. Since the attack, I haven’t been able to attain an erection. My wife suggests I try Viagra. Is it safe for me to take this drug after having a heart attack? – M.K. I can’t give you a definite answer. I’d have to know how well your heart functions and how great was the damage done to your heart by the attack. However, I can tell you that most men are able to have an active sex life after a heart attack, and men who need Viagra can use it after an attack. Your doctor is the only one who can provide a definite answer. If you take three or more blood pressure medicines, or if you have had a recent stress test that shows evidence of poor heart circulation, you might be advised not to take Viagra. Also, if you take nitrates (nitroglycerin is one nitrate medicine), Viagra is contraindicat-

ed because the combination can result in a dangerous drop in blood pressure. Dear Dr. Donohue: How much weight can I lose with liposuction? I am 200 pounds overweight. I have done all the diets you can think of. None works for me. I have been told I am a candidate for gastric bypass surgery, but that is too radical. I think liposuction might be the answer. Does fat come back when fat cells are removed? – B.A. Liposuction isn’t designed for weight reduction. It’s a way to remove fat from a few selected areas for a better body shape. Love handles at the sides and fat hanging under the chin are two places where liposuction is the procedure of choice. At most, about six pounds of fat are taken during a typical liposuction treatment. Someone who is 200 pounds overweight isn’t going to benefit all that much from liposuction. You have to consider one of the many surgical procedures. The laparoscopic banding operation might be something you would accept. It’s done with small incisions through which a scope is passed into the abdomen and a band is wrapped around the stomach to shrink it. Recovery is not long. As to your question about fat, it doesn’t return to areas where fat cells are removed.

Lil Wayne hosts farewell show before jail

NEW ORLEANS (AP) – Lil Wayne emerged as a top-selling musician known for his clever wordplay and risque lyrics, but like rappers before him, he’s staring down a year behind bars at the peak of his career. The artist returned to his hometown of New Orleans for a performance Monday on what he’s calling his farewell tour. The 27-year-old rapper, whose real name is Dwayne Carter, pleaded guilty in October to a weapons

possession charge and will be sentenced Feb. 9. His plea deal calls for a year in jail. The charge stemmed from a 2007 traffic stop of his tour bus in New York when authorities said they smelled marijuana, and as they approached, he tossed aside a bag with a loaded .40-caliber handgun. In a separate case, he also faces trial in March on felonious drug possession and weapons charges in Yuma County, Ariz. More recently,

GiGi, welcomed their son George Ivan Morrison III on Monday. The couple says that “Little Van� is “the spitting image of his daddy.�

LOS ANGELES (AP) – A contentious lawsuit between Marilyn Manson and former bandmate Stephen Bier has been settled without the multimillion judgment the keyboardist initially sought, court records show. An agreement calls for Manson attorneys representing former Bier to be paid $380,000. Manson’s insurance company will pay $175,000 while the rest will be paid by Bier’s former business managers, Manson’s attorney Howard King said. Bier sued the shock rocker for $20 million in 2007, claiming the singer kept money from him and spent it to furnish a lavish lifestyle buying Nazi memorabilia, an engagement ring and other exotic goods.

Peter Mondavi reflects on life in wine

NEW YEAR’S MEAL

---

BY MICHELLE LOCKE FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

S

T. HELENA, Calif. – Peter Mondavi went to work in the wine industry during Prohibition when he was just 12, nailing together boxes for his dad’s business shipping California grapes to home winemakers back east. Eight decades later, the hammer’s gone, but he’s still on the job at his family’s Charles Krug Winery, a survivor of boom and bust with a unique perspecMondavi tive on a year when the bottom dropped out of the market for luxury wines. “Everything went too wild,” he says of recent years when grape prices shot up and wine prices followed. “It just went too wild.” Though he’s not as well known as older brother Robert, founder of the Robert Mondavi Winery, Peter Mondavi is an influential figure in the industry. As a college student during the Depression, he started working on cold fermentation techniques that would later elevate his family’s white wines – he laughs as he remembers the early days of throwing chunks of ice into cooling towers on hot days. He also pioneered the use of French oak barrels in the 1960s. Having that kind of experience is a plus right now, says Robert Smiley, director of wine industry programs in the Graduate School of Management at the University of California, Davis. “You know what to do and what’s worked in the past, but more importantly you have brand equity. People know the Charles Krug label,” he says. This also is a time when it’s good to have more than one brand. Charles Krug, located at the top of the Napa Valley, took a high-low approach years ago, selling premium Napa Valley wines under the Charles Krug label and putting more moderately priced grapes into the second line, CK Mondavi, a strategy that paid big benefits as recessionharried consumers traded down to cheaper wines in 2009. At 95, a birthday milestone he celebrated quietly in November, Mondavi has turned over day-to-day responsibilities to his sons, Marc and Peter Jr. But he still has definite opinions about winemaking. He’s not a fan of the big wines of 15 or even 16 percent alcohol – “It’s like a wine cocktail.” As for the boutique wineries that have sprung up, making very small amounts of very expensive wines, he thinks they do “a terrific job,” but can’t help but smile at some of the extremes of the ultra-premium wine world. “A $1,500 bottle of wine?” he says, shaking his head and laughing.

Vegans and non-vegans alike will love the moist Coffee Fudge Brownies, made with soy milk.

These vegan brownies require no sacrifice BY MICHELE KAYAL FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

S

o maybe you can have your New Year’s resolutions and your cake, too. This recipe from Alicia Silverstone’s “The Kind Diet,” a beautifully photographed ode to healthier eating, is whole grain and vegan, but tastes decadent. If you buy raw walnuts, toast them by spreading them on a baking sheet. Place them in a 350-degree oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the nuts are lightly browned and fragrant. Stir the nuts once or twice as they toast.

3/4 cup brown rice flour 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 1 1/2 cups maple sugar 3/4 cup soy/rice milk blend (or any nondairy milk) 3/4 cup brewed decaf coffee 1/2 cup canola oil 1/2 cup walnuts, toasted and chopped For the glaze: 1 1/2 cups grain-sweetened, nondairy chocolate or carob chips 1/2 cup Earth Balance (or other vegan) butter Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Coat an 8- or 9-inch-square baking pan with oil or cooking spray. In a large bowl, sift together both flours, the cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir in the maple sugar.

In a separate bowl, stir together the milk, coffee and oil. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, and stir to mix well. Stir in the walnuts, then pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted at the center comes out clean. Place the pan on a wire rack to cool completely. Once the brownies have cooled, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan bring about 1 inch of water to a boil. Set a stainless-steel bowl over it. Add the chocolate chips and butter to the bowl and stir until melted and smooth. Pour the warm glaze over the entire pan of brownies, smoothing it over the surface. Chill until the glaze has set, about 1 hour. Recipe is from Alicia Silverstone’s “The Kind Diet,” (Rodale, 2009).

For 25 years, J&S Cafeterias have gotten thousands of Southern food purists off to a great start each New Year’s Day with their traditional “good luck” meal: collard greens, black-eyed peas and hog jowls. Yes, we said hog jowls. They’re delicious, according to many porkloving Southerners who seek out their first dinner of the year at J&S for an extra helping of good fortune. The entire meal includes a drink and is priced at $5.49. “We’ll have a lineup of folks who wouldn’t miss that special meal on New Year’s Day,” said Jeff Lord, area manager at J&S. “For those not quite as particular about their lucky New Year’s meal, as long as the spread includes blackeyed peas, you’ll reap the same rewards all year long.” So J&S is hoping to pass along some good will and a better year for anyone who stops by for a free serving of black-eyed peas on New Year’s Day. Black-eyed peas are a customer favorite, and the freshly prepared side item is frequently offered at J&S Cafeterias for a little more than a buck a serving. On Friday, you can hedge your bets on the coming year with free blackeyed peas for dine-in or to-go service all day at J&S Cafeteria at Deep River Center, N.C. 68 at Penny Road.

For New Year’s, try a batch of cookies BY ALISON LADMAN FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

H

ere’s an excuse to buy that cookie press you’ve been staring at in the baking store. Or if the caulking gun of the food world doesn’t do it for you, the dough for these cookies also can be scooped into a plastic bag, then piped out into decorative rounds.

Snickerdoodle Spritz 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 2/3 cup powdered sugar 2 egg yolks 2 cups all-purpose flour 1/4 cup heavy cream 1/4 cup granulated sugar 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon Heat the oven to 350 degrees.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or coat it with cooking spray. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together the butter, nutmeg, vanilla and powdered sugar until creamy and light. Add the egg yolks, and beat again until combined. With the mixer on low, slowly add the flour, then the cream, beating until just combined. The mixture should be very soft. Transfer the dough to a cookie

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

press or a pastry bag with a large star tip. Squeeze cookies onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving 1 inch between them. If using a pastry bag to form the cookies, aim for 2-inch-round cookies. In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle the mixture over the cookies. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges begin to color. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet before transferring to an airtight container.

Wednesday, Dec. 30, 2009 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: LeBron James, 25; Laila Ali, 32; Tiger Woods, 34; Matt Lauer, 52 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: You have what it takes to start something and see it through to the end. Stabilize your life by making the most of what you’ve got to offer. A chance to separate from the crowd will allow you to interest someone looking for a unique, open-minded partner. You have to be strong and see your plans through to the end. Your numbers are 5, 13, 19, 23, 26, 33, 40 ARIES (March 21-April 19): You cannot leave anything undone. Answer questions being asked and you will discover exactly what you must do to turn around a stressful situation. A strict budget, along with lowering your overhead will bring good results. ★★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Someone from your past will offer a different opinion that makes sense to you and complements your own plans. Clear your head of any temptation and follow the road that leads to stability and a better future. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You won’t be too clear about your past, present or future but you will have some interesting ideas to run by someone in the know and who may be able to help you. This is the time to lower debt, not take on more. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Visiting someone you don’t see often will help to clear up some uncertainty about your future. A partnership will open up doors that have been closed in the past, allowing you some financial and geographical maneuverability. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t sit back waiting for things to come to you. You can start anew if you line up the people you need to pursue your goals. Your contributions in the past will put you in a stellar position. A change of location will lead to an important discovery. ★★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Network all you can and offer your opinions, suggestions and friendship in return for the same. The more outlets you have and connections you make, the easier it will be to obtain the goals you have set for the new year. ★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): A good idea will develop with someone who has an unusual way of looking at situations. Socialize with people you don’t get to see often. It’s never too late to reunite with someone who inspires you. ★★★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Lower your overhead so you can diminish the stress you’ve been experiencing and get back to what you enjoy doing most. A move can help you reconnect with some of your talents, allowing you greater options in the new year. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Don’t lose sight of your goals but don’t neglect anyone who may be able to help you in the future. You have to walk a fine line, allowing others freedom so you can maintain your own. Money or a deal is heading your way. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t back down even if someone begs for your support or financial assistance. Stick to your own game plan if you want to enter the new year feeling good about your future and confident you can finish whatever you start. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Spend time with friends or colleagues. You will make the most headway by sharing your views and taking part as a team player. An interesting surprise will help you make a decision you’ve been laboring over. ★★★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Don’t let envy be your downfall. Making assumptions based on what others tell you is a waste of time. Do your best and show everyone that you measure up to whatever challenge or competition you face. ★★

“I know about winning the battle but losing the war,” a club player told me, “but you’d think winning two battles in one deal would be enough.” He was today’s East. When West led the six of clubs against 3NT, dummy played low, and East won that battle by playing his jack. “I shifted to a heart,” East said, “and South took the ace and forced out the ace of spades. West then led another club, and dummy played the king. I won another battle – I splatted it with my ace – but I lost the war. When I led the queen of hearts, South claimed nine tricks.”

HIGHER CLUBS East prevails if he uses the Rule of 11. If West’s six is his fourth-highest club, East subtracts six from 11. The remainder of five is the number of higher clubs dummy, East and South hold. So East knows South has one club higher than the six, and it can’t be the queen: West would lead the ten from 10-9-8-6. East must win the first club with the ace and return the jack, hoping West has the ten plus a fast entry.

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S A 4 H 7 3 2 D 9 4 2 C Q 10 8 6 3. Your partner opens one club, you raise to two clubs and he next bids 2NT. The opponents pass. What do you say? ANSWER: Your partner is not afraid of playing at clubs (perhaps because he opened with a threecard suit). He has extra strength and is trying for game, but your hand is too weak to accept an invitation. Pass. Since your pattern is balanced, you have no reason to return to three clubs. South dealer Both sides 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.

Richardson pads Olympic slate

AP

High Point’s Heather Richardson catches her breath after skating to victory in the women’s 1,500 meters at the U.S. Olympic speedskating trials at the Utah Olympic Oval in Kearns, Utah, on Tuesday. Richardson has qualified for three events in the 2010 Vancouver Olympics – the 500, 1,000 and 1,500.

KEARNS, Utah (AP) — High Point’s Heather Richardson clinched a spot in her third Olympic event by winning the 1,500 meters Tuesday at the U.S. Speedskating Championships. Richardson added the 1,500 to the spots she had already clinched in the 500 and 1,000 for the Vancouver Games, which will be the first Olympics. Richardson’s time of 1:56.22 at the Utah Olympic Oval on Tuesday was 2.07 seconds faster than she had ever gone in the distance. “It was definitely a surprise,” said Richardson, who wasn’t racing on ice yet during the 2006 Olympics. The 20-year-old had already locked up spots on the U.S. team for the 500 meters and 1,000, so she could just relax and go for it in the 1,500. And go she did. Richardson’s time for the first lap was 25.21 seconds, 0.44 ahead of Elli Ochowicz in the other lane. “I’ve never skated that fast in the

first lap of a 1,500,” she said. “I was like. ‘Oh! I’m on a good one. Try to keep it up!’ ” Brian Hansen clinched his first Olympic berth with a third-place finish in the men’s 1,500. Chad Hedrick won the race and Trevor Marsicano was second, but both had already locked up Olympic berths in the 1,500. Hedrick has been fighting a stomach bug this week but still managed to skate a time of 1:44.00, beating Marsicano by 0.33 seconds. Hedrick and Marsicano were the final pairing, so Hansen already knew he could finish no worse than third, which was all he needed to clinch the fourth U.S. spot in the 1,500. He joins Hedrick, the three-time Olympic medalist in Turin in 2006, Marsicano and world record holder Shani Davis, who did not skate Tuesday. The American women have three spots in the 1,500 meters in Vancouver and the final one was still open entering Tuesday’s competition.

Duke pans 49ers

Draino! Westchester’s Plummer sinks Bison at buzzer BY STEVE HANF ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

HIGH POINT – C.J. Plummer said he needs just five seconds to race from one end of the court to the other. Turns out the Westchester Country Day School sophomore is selling himself a bit short. With the score tied at 67-all in overtime Tuesday night in the semifinals of the Bank of North Carolina Christmas Classic, Plummer needed exactly 4.5 seconds to slice through the High Point Central defense for a layup. The finger-roll dropped through the net with 1.6 showing and time ran out before the Bison could answer. “I saw the time on the free-throw line,” explained Plummer of the final sequence that saw Akeem Langham drain two clutch foul shots for the tie with 6.1 to go. “My teammates got it to me and I just went.” Wildcats coach Pat Kahny said he didn’t call the play. “That’s his job. That’s what we do, whether it’s him or somebody else,” Kahny offered. “He’s our best ball-handler, and we know he’s going to create something.” Plummer finished with 11 points, just one key part of a Westchester win on a night that saw stars Deuce Bello and Ike Nwamu struggle. Bello sat out nearly all of the first half after getting a second foul with 1:27 to go in the first quarter. He scored just eight points and Nwamu scored 13. In their place, however, arrived Plummer, Josh Burton and Cole Morgenstern. Burton, a freshman, hit four crucial long-range shots on his way to 14 points, while Morgenstern’s 15-point night included several key shots. “This is not the first time that’s happened this year,” Kahny said of his 9-0 Wildcats, who will play in tonight’s 7:30 title game at High Point Central. “We do have other people to go to.” Central turned to several players in building a quick early lead and then rallying after a first-half Wildcat surge. Derek Grant banged Bello early and later terrorized Westchester on the boards. He finished with 22 points. Langham (13) and Shaq Bethea (eight) sparked a 19-5 run from late in the third quar-

DURHAM (AP) – Jon Scheyer scored 22 points, Nolan Smith added 19 and No. 7 Duke beat Long Beach State 84-63 on Tuesday night. Kyle Singler added 14 points for the Blue Devils (10-1), who led by 26 points, shot 47.1 percent, blocked a season-high 10 shots and were 15 of 26 from 3-point range. Larry Anderson scored 14 points for Long Beach State (6-7), which couldn’t get closer than 13 points in the second half and lost its third straight. The 49ers have been beaten by four Top Ten opponents so far.

Adams’ 3 early in the overtime helped the Bison build a five-point lead, but Westchester roared back with layups from Morgenstern and Burton along with a 3 by Morgenstern to lead 66-63. Central tied it after Roger Ingram’s shot in the lane and Langham’s foul shots – but too much time remained for Plummer and the Wildcats. “We played hard and that’s all we ask of the kids every game,” Central coach Patrick Battle said. “The kids are ready to move forward and play hard every night.” shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

RALEIGH (AP) – Dennis Horner scored 12 points to help N.C. State defeat Winthrop 68-52 on Tuesday night. Richard Howell added 11 points for the Wolfpack (93), who responded with a 9-0 run after their 23-point lead diminished to eight early in the second half. N.C. State led 41-29 at halftime on the strength of a 30-7 run that began early in the period. The Wolfpack scored on 11 of 12 possessions, including 10 in a row, and made eight of their season-high 10 3pointers in the first half. Robbie Dreher scored 14 points to lead Winthrop (57), which scored fewer than 60 points for the eighth time this season.

I

t’s almost time to bid farewell to 2009 and wave hello to 2010. Frankly, I’ll be glad to say so long to 2009. It’s been a tough year on so many fronts and I’m ready for 2010 to bring better times. But 2009 does offer one final dose of exciting sports action. New Year’s Eve is much more than the ball dropping in Times Square. It’s a great day for college football and basketball. Four bowl games are on the Dec. 31 docket, highlighted by Heisman Trophy runnerup

Toby Gerhart and his Stanford teammates battling Oklahoma in the Sun Bowl in the perfectly named football town of El Paso (2 p.m., WFMY, Ch. 2) and Virginia Tech tangling with Tennessee in the Chick-Fil-A Bowl in Atlanta (7:30 p.m., ESPN). But to truly ring in the New Year right, I’d recommend watching some college hoops. Keep that clicker handy for a pair of 6 p.m. contests of intensely local interest. N.C. State takes on UNC Greensboro at the Greensboro Coliseum (Fox Sports South), while Duke plays host to Penn (ESPN2).

And for those lucky enough to have access to ESPNU, Richmond visits Wake Forest for a 7 p.m. tip. You can literally welcome 2010 while watching Oklahoma at Gonzaga on ESPN. The game tips shortly after 10 p.m. and will be wrapping up just as we scream “Happy New Year!” So enjoy the last blast of 2009, everyone! And here’s hoping 2010 is a fantastic year for all!

WHO’S NEWS

Injury-riddled and out of the playoff race before December, the Carolina Panthers seemed certain to have their first season of at least 10 losses under coach John Fox. Instead, they’re playing their best football of the season, just in time for the embattled Fox to have a shot at returning in 2010. A day after the Panthers (7-8) routed the New York Giants for their third win in four games, The Charlotte Observer reported Fox and general manager Marty Hurney will be “offered the opportunity to return next season” by owner Jerry Richardson. However, the report said Fox will not be given a contract extension. He’s due to make more than $6 million in 2010, the final season of his deal. Team spokesman Charlie Dayton said Fox and Hurney are under contract for next season, and he’s heard nothing to indicate they won’t return. Fox has been heavily scrutinized since starting the season 0-3, a year after Carolina went 12-4. Fox is 75-60 as coach of the Panthers.

Wesleyan’s boys subdue Southwest BY DANIEL KENNEDY SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

HIGH POINT – Wesleyan Christian Academy put together a complete effort against Southwest Guilford’s boys, then held on to a substantial lead for a 57-46 semifinal win in the High Point Christmas Classic on Tuesday. By doing so, the Trojans set up a rematch with Westchester Academy for the championship today at 7:30 at High Point Central. Wesleyan performed admirably on defense and had several series where the team became a picture of efficiency, on offense but other times, the Trojans had difficulty hanging onto the ball. “We knew Southwest would turn it into a street fight at the end,” Wesleyan coach Keith Gatlin said in response to his team’s turnovers. “They had to, to get back in it. We were really surprised to see them play us man-to-man early. We were expecting a zone, but

thank God it worked out for us.” Deng Leek scored 25 points to pace the Trojans and brother Leek Leek added nine. Wesleyan overwhelmed Southwest for much of the game with its remarkable athleticism. The Trojans benefited from getting out to a hot start with a 12-0 run. Unfortunately for the Cowboys, they could not contend with Wesleyan’s size – particularly the seven-foot frame of Deng, who had 20 points at halftime. “Deng did a great job in setting the tone early,” Gatlin said. “We knew we had the size advantage. For a big guy to get banged on like that, it was great for him to keep his composure.” During one of their more sloppy stretches, the Trojans’ lead was cut to seven at with less than five minutes remaining. They responded by locking down defensively and stretched the lead to a 49-35 advantage with three minutes to play.

Bison girls punch ticket to title game BY STEVE HANF ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

HIGH POINT – Brittany Gwyn and her High Point Central teammates used stifling defense to play their way into the Bank of North Carolina Christmas Classic title game. The Bison forced 17 turnovers in the first quarter for a 30-4 lead against T. Wingate Andrews and cruised to a 7220 victory, setting up a championship match tonight at 6 against Southwest Guilford in the Bison gym. “We had to come out with intensity from the get-go,” said Gwyn, who poured in 24 points to go with four steals. “It’s hard to stop us when we get into that mindset and focus.” Central (9-0) led 18-0 before the Red Raiders got a 3-pointer from Elaina Skarote. The romp was on, however, with the Bison taking a 46-10 lead at the half and 63-18 advantage entering the fourth quarter. “The first five, six minutes we gave maximum effort,” praised Central coach Kenny Carter. “We got a couple layups,

a couple 3s and picked up the pace, and I don’t think that was advantageous to Andrews. We got a little confidence and that changed the complexion of the game.” Katie Bryson and Megan Tate each had 11 points for Central, while Arielle Harris notched nine and Santia Davis seven. Sarah Cox led all players with five steals, and Gwyn, Courtney Contee and Harris grabbed four each. Andrews’ top scorers were Skarote with five points and Bria Byrd and Sequaya Jackson with four each as Central made life miserable on the Raider ball-handlers. “We’re known as a pressing team,” Gwyn said. “That’s all we basically do.” If Central can do it well again tonight, the Bison will win their first Christmas tournament since 2006 and enter January with a perfect record for the first time since 2004. “Everything in life is about effort,” Carter said. “You give effort and everything else falls into place.” shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

Cowgirls work double overtime for victory BY DANIEL KENNEDY SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

HIGH POINT – Southwest Guilford did just enough to carve out a 47-40 double overtime victory over Christian Academy of Knoxville 47-40 Tuesday night in the semifinals of the High Point Christmas Classic. The Cowgirls face host High Point Central in the girls’ title game today at 6 p.m. Two furious Knoxville rallies sent the contest into a pair of intense overtime sessions, but the Warriors were unable to cap either comeback with a win. Instead, Southwest broke out for 12 points in the last

four-minute period. “I was kind of worried going into the first overtime,” Southwest coach Jessica Bryan said. “I could tell my girls (were tiring). With our conditioning in practice, they were able to push through that last quarter.” Jessica Pone scored six of her 10 points in the second overtime to help seal the game. “We had to make sure they couldn’t get back down the court (in the second overtime),” Pone said. “I was just trying to keep my team in it.” Kelsey Brown’s eightfoot jumper for Knoxville with six seconds remain-

ing in regulation tied the game at 31 and forced overtime. The tying shot completed a 7-0 Warrior run in the final minute of the physical, sloppy period. Brown had 12 points to lead the Warriors and anchored an imposing defense that held the Cowgirls to four points in the first overtime. The second extra frame proved a different story, as Brown and her teammates wore down in the waning moments. Zena Lovette had 15 points to lead all scorers and came up big for the Cowgirls down the stretch, heading a Southwest halfcourt press that forced several Warrior miscues.

HIGH POINT – Cardinal Gibbons’ girls netted a 60-35 victory over Wesleyan Christian Academy in a consolationround game of the Bank of North Carolina Christmas Classic on Tuesday at High Point Central. Leading by five at the end of the first quarter, Gibbons broke the game open with a 18-5 run to loead 35-17 at the half. Valerie Beale led the Trojans with 16 points. Dakota Griffin, Rachel Luck, Courtney Brammer and Christine Poole added four each. Wesleyan (3-10) plays in the seventhplace game today at 3 p.m. at High Point Central.

Defense lifts Panthers past Eagles BY STEVE HANF ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

HIGH POINT – The defense never rested Tuesday night for the High Point University men. Luckily for the Panthers, the offense finally started clicking in the second half of a 70-58 victory over North Carolina Central. “We were just focusing on defense, getting stops, and figured the offense would come,� said HPU senior Cruz Daniels. “That’s what we’ve been working on all week: defense, defense, defense.� The Panthers’ 6-foot-11 center helped

lead the charge with three blocks and 13 rebounds to go along with 12 points, while Nick Barbour – a 6-2 guard – had four blocks and a steal as one of four HPU players in double-figure scoring. Barbour tallied 10 points, while Eugene Harris had 14 and Jairus Simms 10. Corey Law opened the second half with a slam that thrilled the Millis Center crowd of 918, but the Panthers (5-6) failed to pull away until much later. Simms broke out in a key run, with back-to-back 3-pointers lifting HPU to a 54-40 advantage with 7:48 remaining.

Forward Nick Chasten added 20 points and point guard Michael Glasker tallied 11 for NCCU, but the Eagles’ offense struggled in shooting just 16-for-57 from the field. “Defensively I’m really excited about my guys,� said Cherry, whose team continues its four-game homestand Saturday at 7 p.m. against Big South Conference foe Gardner-Webb. “You hold a team to 29 percent from the field – against any Division I team, that’s a tremendous effort.�

finally pulled away after leading just 3026 at the break. “I still felt good about the way we were playing,� Panthers coach Scott Cherry said of the first half. “Offensively we weren’t as good – we really just needed to get the ball reversed and take care of the ball, which we did for the most part in the second half.� The Eagles’ leading scorer, junior guard C.J. Wilkerson, enjoyed another big night with 16 points but headed to the bench for the final time after picking up a fifth foul with 6:26 to play. Central (2-11) pulled to within 10 points once in the waning moments, but never threat-

one Fuquay bomb after another. His last one cut the lead to 36-35, and the Panthers finally climbed all the way back on two Will Essick free throws with 40 seconds left. In the extra period, Essick scored in the paint, Fuquay nailed another 3 from the corner, then Jared Hall drove the lane and found Daniel Lawson, who converted a three-point play to make it 46-42. North couldn’t mount a comeback from there. Fuquay finished with 17 – 15 of which came in the fourth quarter and overtime. Dylan Smith added 10 for the Panthers. Joe Farrell led North with 13 points.

North’s girls turn back Ledford BY JASON QUEEN SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

WALLBURG – North Davidson’s girls didn’t play as well as they’d liked for 32 minutes on Tuesday. But they found their rhythm long enough to turn back the host Ledford in the semifinals of the NewBridge Bank Christmas Classic. The Knights used a 14-3 run that spanned the end of the third quarter and start of the fourth to pull out a 5346 win over the Panthers. North will face tonight’s East Davidson/Central Davidson winner in the finals at 5 p.m. Thursday. For Ledford coach John Ralls, the difference in North’s burst was simple. “They knocked down some shots,� Ralls said. “They hit some 3s that hurt us.� Indeed. Trailing 30-27 late in the third quarter, North got buckets from Samantha Barron and Sarah Fansler

to take a 31-30 lead. Barron opened the fourth quarter with a stick back, then Katie Allen sank two free throws and a 3-pointer from the wing to make it 3830. The Panthers never recovered, getting no closer than six the rest of the way. North coach Kim Payne acknowledged the difference for her team, which went almost five minutes in the third quarter without scoring. “They just went in,� she said. “We had some of the same shots in the third quarter that didn’t go in. And we had a couple of crucial putbacks.� Allen and Alex Payne led North with 13 points each. Taylor Ballard paced the Panthers, who dipped to 6-5, with 13, and Chelsea Freeman kicked in 10. For injury-depleted Ledford, the short-term goal is simple. “We’d like to get healthy,� Ralls said. “We might start getting some people back in next week.�

Vikings ‘D’ regroups after two bad games EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) – Forget the play-calling, the audibles and any perceived rift between Brett Favre and Brad Childress. The way defensive end Jared Allen sees it, the veteran Vikings defense is the biggest reason Minnesota lost the game in Chicago on Monday night and earn a chance to move closer to a firstround bye in the NFC playoffs. “Defensively, I put this all on us,� Allen said after the 36-30 overtime loss

to a Bears team that had shown little signs of life in recent weeks. “Defensively, we did not make enough plays. We didn’t tackle or stop the run like we were supposed to. It’s on everybody. It’s not one person or one call.� The woeful Bears offense that ranked 24th in the league heading into the game raced out to a 16-0 lead at halftime and Jay Cutler threw four TD passes in the game to lead Chicago to a stunning upset.

Wilson, eight Vikings headline Pro Bowl rosters NEW YORK (AP) – Adrian Wilson, Brett Favre and Peyton Manning already were Pro Bowl regulars when they were selected to this season’s game Tuesday. Favre was among eight Minnesota Vikings who made the NFC team, while Manning was one of six Indianapolis Colts on the AFC squad. It will be Favre’s 11th Pro Bowl and the 10th for Manning. No other quarterbacks have been to 10 all-star games. High Point’s Wilson, a strong safety for the Arizona Cardinals, earned his

second straight Pro Bowl start and third trip overall. Favre will be a backup to New Orleans’ Drew Brees, the NFL’s top-rated passer. The other NFC quarterback will be Aaron Rodgers, who replaced Favre in Green Bay last year. Carolina Panthers running back DeAngelo Williams and defensive end Julius Peppers were selected. Tennessee running back Chris Johnson, the league’s leading rusher, also made the AFC team, along with NFL receptions leader Wes Welker of New

England. Manning will be backed up at quarterback by New England’s Tom Brady and San Diego’s Philip Rivers. All six of the quarterbacks made the playoffs and, of course, would prefer to be playing in the Super Bowl on Feb. 7 in Miami. The Pro Bowl has been moved to the previous Sunday at Dolphin Stadium, and no Super Bowl participants will play in the all-star game. Vikings RB Adrian Peterson, the league’s top scorer among non-kickers, will be in the NFC backfield. The other Vikings who made it: wide receiver

Sidney Rice, defensive end Jared Allen, guard Steve Hutchinson, defensive tackle Kevin Williams, special teamer Heath Farwell and tackle Bryant McKinnie. The other Colts on the AFC roster: tight end Dallas Clark, defensive ends Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis, wide receiver Reggie Wayne and center Jeff Saturday. Two rookies made the AFC team, Houston linebacker Brian Cushing and Buffalo safety Jairus Byrd, who is on injured reserve. Washington LB Brian Orakpo is the lone rookie on the NFC squad.

NEW YORK (AP) – The stock market edged lower Tuesday, breaking a six-day advance as reports on home prices and consumer confidence did little to excite buyers. Major indexes rose modestly in the early going but slipped as the dollar strengthened and tugged on commodities prices. A stronger dollar makes commodities more expensive for foreign buyers. Trading was quiet, as it has been in recent days, and many investors left at the end of the day for a long New Year’s weekend. The low volume held the Dow Jones industrial average to a 36-point range, the narrowest in nearly three years. The modest losses came after stocks had risen for six straight days.

Economic reports looked stronger but failed to galvanize investors. The Conference Board said its index of consumer confidence rose to 52.9 in December from 49.5 in November. That was slightly better than economists had forecast, but the index remains well below what is considered healthy. Home prices also rose. The Standard & Poor’s/Case-Shiller’s home price index rose for a fifth straight month in October, edging up 0.4 percent. The Dow slipped 1.67, or less than 0.1 percent, to 10,545.41. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell 1.58, or 0.1 percent, to 1,126.20, while the Nasdaq composite index fell 2.68, or 0.1 percent, to 2,288.40.

cans remain gloomy about their current prospects. Meanwhile, a closely watched home price index released Tuesday showed that home prices rose for the fifth month in a row in October, but the recovery continues to be uneven with only 11 of the 20 metro areas tracked showing gains. The Conference Board

said its Consumer Confidence Index rose to 52.9, up from a revised 50.6 in November, but the reading is still far short of the 90 that would signify a solid economy. In October, consumer confidence was 48.7. Economists surveyed by Thomson Reuters predicted a reading of 52 for December.

The index, which hit a historic low of 25.3 in February, had enjoyed a three-month climb from March through May, fueled by signs that the economy might be stabilizing. The road has been bumpier since June as rising unemployment has taken a toll on consumers.

Retail inventories signal strong sales That’s good news for their bottom lines, but it means slim pickings for shoppers hoping for after-Christmas clearance sales because there are few leftovers. “Retailers are much more nimble this year,” NPD analyst Marshal Cohen said. “Their ‘Plan B’ is to have

new receipts at the ready.” Cohen said he noticed J. Crew and Coach were two that had restocked shelves with new items last week. Because their ordering was in line with weak demand, retailers were able to sell more items at higher prices. Last year, profits were ham-

Consumer confidence extends rise

ATLANTA (AP) – Retailers have thin inventories after coming out of Christmas with slightly betterthan-expected sales. Some retailers kept inventory so low they’ve had to bring in new merchandise to restock shelves, a rare move this soon after Christmas.

Home prices rise again in October NEW YORK – Home prices rose for the fifth month in a row in October, but the recovery continues to be uneven with only 11 of the 20 metro areas tracked showing gains. The Standard & Poor’s/Case-Shiller home price index released Tuesday edged up 0.4 percent to a seasonally adjusted reading of 145.36 in October from September. The index was off 7.3 percent from October last year, nearly matching expectations of economists surveyed by Thomson Reuters. The index is now up 3.4 percent from its bottom in May, but still almost 30 percent below its peak in April 2006.

Morgan Stanley looks to overhaul pay plan NEW YORK – Morgan Stanley is considering the way it compensates its top executives, looking to defer more pay and benchmark salaries against rivals, The Wall Street Journal reported Monday, citing people familiar with the matter. The move reflects Wall Street’s effort to minimize criticism of its pay practices and at the same time maintain its executive talent, the Journal reported. Calls to Morgan Stanley for comment were not immediately returned. ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

Free TV may be in peril NEW YORK (AP) – For more than 60 years, TV stations have broadcast news, sports and entertainment for free and made their money by showing commercials. That might not work much longer. The business model is unraveling at ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox and the local stations that carry the networks’ programming. Cable TV and the Web have fractured the audience for free TV and siphoned its ad dollars. The recession has squeezed advertising further, forcing broadcasters to accelerate their push for new revenue to pay for programming. That will play out in living rooms across the country. The changes could mean higher cable or satellite TV bills, as the networks and local stations squeeze more fees from pay-TV providers such as Comcast and DirecTV for the right to show broadcast TV channels in their lineups. The networks might even ditch free broadcast signals in the next few years. Instead, they could operate as cable channels – a move that could spell the end of free TV as Americans have known it since the 1940s. “Good programing is expensive,” Rupert Mur-

doch, whose News Corp. owns Fox, told a shareholder meeting this fall. “It can no longer be supported solely by advertising revenues.” Fox is pursuing its strategy in public, warning that its broadcasts – including college football bowl games – could go dark Friday for subscribers of Time Warner Cable, unless the pay-TV operator gives Fox higher fees. For its part, Time Warner Cable is asking customers whether it should “roll over” or “get tough” in negotiations. The traditional broadcast model works like this: CBS, NBC, ABC and Fox distribute shows through a network of local stations. The networks own a few stations in big markets, but most are “affiliates,” owned by separate companies. Traditionally the networks paid affiliates to broadcast their shows, though those fees have dwindled to near nothing as local stations have seen their audience shrink. What hasn’t changed is where the money mainly comes from: advertising. Cable channels make most of their money by charging pay-TV providers a monthly fee per subscriber for their programing.

Oil stays flat at $79 a barrel

A customer looks at vehicles at a General Motors dealership in Burlingame, Calif., in June.

GM offering deep discounts NEW YORK (AP) – General Motors Co. is offering deep discounts on its remaining Saturn and Pontiac vehicles as it looks to move the leftover inventory of the soon-tobe-dead brands, according to a published report. The automaker will pay dealers $7,000 for every new Saturn or Pontiac left on their lot if the vehicle is moved to dealer-operated rental or service fleets, according to The Wall Street Journal, which cited a let-

ter mailed to dealers. This allows the dealers to sell the cars and trucks to consumers at a discount, although the vehicles would be labeled as used because the dealer would technically be the first owner. The offer expires Jan. 4, according to the newspaper. GM spokesman Tom Henderson confirmed the details of the incentive plan Tuesday. “That was the purpose of the programs – to help deal-

ers reduce those inventories,” he said. The decision to discount Saturns and Pontiacs comes as GM closes down both brands under the Detroit automaker’s restructuring plan. The shutdown of Pontiac was announced earlier in the year. GM announced this fall it would discontinue Saturn after a deal collapsed to sell the brand to Penske Automotive Group Inc.

NEW YORK – Energy prices flattened Tuesday with a majority of futures traders taking the holiday week off, though a stronger dollar helped keep a barrel of oil below $79. Benchmark crude for February delivery added a penny to $78.78 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. In London, Brent crude for February delivery increased 25 cents to $77.57 a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange. Retail gas prices increased for the fourth straight day, the first time it’s done that since October, to a national average of $2.608.

Company to pay fine for lead in toys WASHINGTON – An Illinois firm agreed to pay a $1.25 million settlement for importing and selling Thomas & Friends children’s toys that contained lead levels above legal limits and risked sickening children. In agreeing to the penalty settlement, RC2 Corp. denied that it knowingly violated federal law as alleged by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. The commissioncharged that RC2 Corp. of Oak Brook, Ill., and one of its subsidiaries, Learning Curve Brands Inc., knowingly imported and sold the toys despite knowing of the lead levels. The toys were imported from China. ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS
