Employer health plans may lose tax breaks Costs of care could fall on Americans WASHINGTON (AP) — Job-based health care benefits could wind up on the chopping block if President Barack Obama and congressional Republicans get serious about cutting the deficit. Budget proposals from leaders in both parties have urged shrinking or eliminating tax breaks that help make employer health insurance the leading source of coverage in the nation and a middle-class mainstay. The idea isn’t to just raise revenue, economists say, but finally to turn Americans into frugal health care consumers by having them face the full costs of their medical decisions. Such a re-engineering was rejected by Democrats only a few months ago, at the height

Long history Unity Presbyterian Church was established in 1788. It was housed in a log structure until 1847, when the current sanctuary was built. The sanctuary has since been added onto, but still has the original pine floor and wooden pews. The balcony, used by slaves in the 1800s, also has original pews. The light fixtures hanging from the ceiling are from Oestreicher’s of Salisbury. A photo frame timeline of pastors, beginning with William A. Hall, pastor between 1827 and 1851, hangs on the wall at the entrance to the sanctuary. The shovels used in Sunday’s groundbreaking were refurbished by church member Ralph Dameron. The shovels were once used to dig graves. Unity Presbyterian Church is located at 885 Woodleaf Barber Road in Woodleaf.
Leaked files offer unflattering look at US diplomacy Documents reveal details on political, and personal, assessments of global affairs WASHINGTON (AP) — Hundreds of thousands of State Department documents leaked Sunday revealed a hidden world of backstage international diplomacy, divulging candid comments from world leaders and detailing occasional U.S. pressure tactics aimed at hot spots in Afghanistan, Iran and North Korea. The classified diplomatic cables released by online whistle-blower WikiLeaks and reported on by news organizations in the United States and Europe provided often unflattering assessments of foreign leaders, ranging from U.S. allies such as Germany and Italy to oth-

er nations like Libya, Iran and Afghanistan. The cables also contained new revelations about longsimmering nuclear trouble spots, detailing U.S., Israeli and Arab world fears of Iran’s growing nuclear program, American concerns about Pakistan’s atomic arsenal and U.S. discussions about a united Korean peninsula as a long-term solution to North Korean aggression. There are also American memos encouraging U.S. diplomats at the United Nations to collect detailed data about the U.N. secretary general, his team and foreign diplomats — going beyond what is considered the normal

run of information-gathering expected in diplomatic circles. None of the revelations is particularly explosive, but their publication could prove problematic for the officials concerned. And the massive release of material intended for diplomatic eyes only is sure to ruffle feathers in foreign capitals, a certainty that prompted U.S. diplomats to scramble in recent days to shore up relations with key allies in advance of the disclosures. The documents published by The New York Times, France’s Le Monde, Britain’s Guardian newspaper, German magazine Der Spiegel and others laid out the behindthe-scenes conduct of Washington’s international relations, shrouded in public by

The White House immediately condemned the release of the WikiLeaks documents, saying “such disclosures put at risk our diplomats, intelligence professionals, and people around the world who come to the United States for assistance in promoting democracy and open government.” It also noted that “by its very nature, field reporting to Washington is candid and often incomplete information.

Man goes on to dinner after car runs into creek BY SHELLEY SMITH ssmith@salisburypost.com
Wayne Yates of Old Cress Road, literally walked away without a scratch after his vehicle went off Old Cress Road, over an embankment, and landed on its side in a creek 20 feet below the road about 7:15 Sunday night. Yates said he was on his way to a friend’s house for Thanksgiving dinner, and brought with him a fruit tray. “I came around the curve and the fruit tray started sliding,” he said. “I tried to grab it, and when I looked up, all I saw was leaves and trees. “I believe it’d been cheaper to let that fruit tray go.”
He said he sat sideways in his car for at least 10 minutes until someone heard his honking and saw him in the creek.

Livingstone concert features Salisbury mayor
Students get live look at literary classic

A.L. brown freshman Tiffany hack acted as Scout for the school’s living history presentation to commemorate the 50th anniversary of ‘To Kill a Mockingbird.’
A.L. Brown marks 50th year of ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ BY SARAH CAMPBELL scampbell@salisburypost.com
KANNAPOLIS — Larry Efird didn’t just want his students to read Harper Lee’s “To Kill a Mockingbird.” He wanted them to understand its impact on society. “I think as time goes by it becomes more of a classic,” he said. Efird and his counterparts in the English department at A.L. Brown High School recently transformed the book, set in the fictional town of Maycomb, Ala., during the Great Depression, into a living history event in the school’s media center. Students had the opportunity to meet protagonist Scout Finch, played by freshman Tiffany Hack, taste a slice of Miss Maudie’s cake and view artifacts from the time period in which the book takes place — the 1930s — during the event. “Everything is symbolic of something
in the novel,” Hack said of the display. Hack said she didn’t hesitate to volunteer for the role of Scout. “I think she is a really great role model,” she said. “She isn’t afraid to say anything she feels or thinks.” Although Hack has only read the book once, she said she knows as she gets older it will reappear on her reading list. “I would definitely urge anybody who has not read the book already to do so,” she said. “It’s just such a great book.” The book is required reading for freshmen at A.L. Brown, but Efird said this year he wanted to do something to commemorate its 50th anniversary. He said giving students a glimpse at items such as the state constitution from 1914, which includes laws about interracial marriages and school segregation, would give them an idea of what things were like before the civil rights movement.

Performances by the concert choir and concert band will be the centerpiece of Livingstone College’s annual Christmas Concert, which this year promises some new twists and features Salisbury Mayor Susan W. Kluttz. “Variations on the Birth of Christ” is the theme for the Wednesday concert that’s being held at 7 p.m. in Varick Auditorium, sponsored by the Livingstone College Department of Music and is free to the public. “We recognize this time of the year people are extremely busy and everybody’s time is valuable,” said Sidney C. Sessoms Jr., director of bands. “So we’ve worked diligently to ensure we produce a Christmas Concert that’s worth their time, one they’ll long remember. I really think with much hard work and practice we’ve accomplished that this year.” As a special part of the Christmas Concert, Kluttz will join Livingstone College President Dr. Jimmy R. Jenkins. and members of his senior administrative staff on stage for read- Sessoms ings of several passages from the Book of Luke. While Kluttz reads Luke 2:13-15, the Concert Band will perform “Angels We Have Heard on High.” Kluttz will be preceded by Jenkins, who will read Luke 2:11-12 as the band plays “O Come, O Come Emmanuel.” “One of the major goals for this concert is to really get the community connected DaVaughn L. Miller with Livingstone College,” said Sessoms, who has helped elevate Livingstone’s band program since coming to the college several years ago. “Livingstone College has always provided quality music programs; however, I’m not so sure the public is aware of all we have to offer, musically speaking. While attendance at our annual Christmas Concert has been decent in recent years, we’d love nothing more than to have a standing-room-only crowd in Varick Auditorium on Dec. 1. We’re delighted Mayor Kluttz has graciously agreed to join us in our Christmas Concert, and we sincerely hope the public will come out and support it.” Besides readings from the Book of Luke, the Christmas Concert will feature performances by Livingstone’s string quartet, brass ensemble and members of the theater department — just to jazz things up a bit. It will also feature a nativity scene. All readings will correlate with several selections performed by the Concert Band. Following that, Livingstone’s Concert Choir will perform “The Ballad of the Brown King,” a Christmas cantata based on text by Langston Hughes and composed by Margaret Bonds, an African-American woman who earned a bachelor’s degree and master’s degree, both in music, from Northwestern University. Bonds studied at Julliard and is best known for her collaborations with Hughes. A large scale work from the 1950s, “The

We haven’t seen our son, daughter-inlaw and grandkids since September, when MIKE they relocatCLINE ed to Maine. Our daughter, who lives in Manhattan, is joining us for the holiday. We haven’t seen her since May. Back at the first of October, when we decided to head north to eat turkey and cranberry sauce, I made arrangements to have my mother, who has lived with Julie and me since 2001, stay at a local facility as a respite patient. No way Mom could (or would) make the trip. She turned 90 in September, and the last three years have not been kind to her. It was 2008 when we noticed her mind was starting to slip — nothing drastic, but little things here and there made Julie and me give one another a glance. It has been in only the last 30 days that the equivalent of an atomic bomb exploded in her brain. No real problems of delusion before then, just forgetfulness. Now she is locked in the past. She hasn’t said anything in the last two weeks that deals with the present. She doesn’t know our kids’ names anymore, much less the grandchildren’s. Our dog Phlee is now Friskie, as far as she's concerned. She wakes up in the middle of the night either screaming in panic or roaming through the house. One night, a lamp was broken and pictures knocked off the wall during her wandering. She has no concept of time, be it hours or days. And there is a monster in our house waiting to do her in — we have stairs. The same staircase took its toll on our 16-year-old dog earlier this year. I can’t let my mother be its second victim. So the morning we left for our trip, I took my mother to the facility where she was already scheduled, only now it is for long-term care, instead of respite care.
The best we can It won’t be an easy thing to do, but after much soulsearching, I have accepted the fact that it is the right thing to do. She can get much better around-theclock care than we can provide. And the facility is close. We can be there in less than 10 minutes. Naturally, seeing what has happened to her has made me think back to better times for the both of us. And for whatever reason, a specific trip to Charlotte jumped to mind. This was a most memorable evening — the night of June 13, 1966. I had watched Championship Wrestling most Saturday afternoons on WBTV for several years, and aside from attending a few live

wrestling shows on the rare instances they were held in Statesville, had never been to see them in the metropolis of Charlotte. Jimmy, a good buddy, and I had watched the wrestling show on June 11 and decided we wanted to go to see the live matches in Charlotte which were advertised on that week’s TV show. But there was a problem — how to get there. Both of us were still 15, thus no driver’s licenses. So we put our two skulls together and decided to ask my mother to take us. It wouldn’t be an easy task getting her to agree. But Jimmy could be quite persuasive and so could I, and together as a tag team, we liked our chances. So we placed our one-sided proposal on the table, and my mother said yes. It had been much easier than we had expected. In fact, my mom asked a coworker to go with us, and it became a foursome. We left Statesville that Monday as soon as she got off work at 5 p.m. and headed for the “big city.” Our destination for wrestling was the Park Center (now Grady Cole Center). Being close to the then-popular Charlottetown Mall, we went to the S&W Cafeteria for a nice meal. Then off to the matches.
the-hole. They used the services of a manager. Homer O’Dell always wore a formal tuxedo and was dressed to the nines. He also carried a cane, which he was known to use for everything except walking. By everything, I mean he used the cane to choke, to poke and to outright hit anyone who opposed his charges. O’Dell was easily the most-hated man in Charlotte-area wrestling for the entire decade. Big Bill Ward often said of him on TV that Homer was “so low he’d have to walk on stilts to look a snake in the eye.” The match began. These four wrestlers were at the top of the business at that time, and they really knew how to get the crowd involved. Ring psychology in wrestling was always a key to being successful in the business, and these guys had masters’ degrees in their craft. The crowd was up and down more than a Lutheran church service, screaming their lungs out, cheering and booing. O’Dell used the cane on the Scott brothers, nearly inciting a riot. I looked over at my mother and her friend, and they were going wild just like everyone else. The full 60-minute time limit on the match expired, the referee separated the participants, and the villains scurried out of the ring with their championship belts and went to their dressing room. The “good guy” Scott brothers remained in the ring for a while, accepting the crowd’s cheers and applause for a job well done, even if they had come up short in becoming the new champions.
“Up to this time Jimmy and I had cheered and booed the wrestlers a little, but Mom and her friend sat silently. I assumed they were not having a great time.”
Place was packed We arrived at Park Center, parked our really hot 1963 Plymouth Valiant (which would go from 0-to60 in 10 minutes) and bought our ringside tickets. I was soon sitting in the famous (to me) building, which held around 3,000 people. By starting time, I doubt there was a seat to be sold. I recall nothing about the preliminary matches, but after an intermission, it was time for the main event match, and it was just not any main event. This match was for the Southern Tag Team Championship, which at the time, I thought, really stood for something, but I later discovered was just a gimmick. Up to this time, Jimmy and I had cheered and booed the wrestlers a little, but Mom and her friend sat silently. I assumed they were not having a great time. The crowd roared with approval when George and Sandy Scott made their way to the ring. They were the “good guys” and were known as The Flying Scotts because they used an arsenal of highflying maneuvers such as drop-kicks and flying head scissors. As soon as the crowd’s screaming died down, out came the “bad guys,” who were also the current champs. Aldo Bogni and Broncho Lubich were their names, and they were not well-respected among wrestling fans. They also had an ace-in-
Really in the spirit They finally exited the ring and headed up the aisle back to their dressing room. It happened to be the aisle where we were sitting. Mom was on the end of the row. Keep in mind, these guys had been going at it for a full hour and under the hot ring lights. They looked as though they had been dropped into a well. As the two grapplers passed her, she reached out and patted one of them on the back. The perspiration went everywhere, including all over her. It got her good. But she shrugged it off, and we all headed for the parking lot. The show was over. As we headed out of Charlotte, we stopped for a snack at Krispy Kreme, capping off the evening. Then the long drive back to the City of Progress. An evening well spent. Thanks, Mom.

From 3a Ballad of the Brown King” was originally created for voice and piano but later revised for chorus, soloists and orchestras, said Concert Choir Conductor DaVaughn L. Miller. It consists of nine movements, including a mixture of jazz, blues, calypso and spirituals and should make for an exciting concert. Miller should know. In late April, he conducted Livingstone College’s Concert Choir in its debut performance at Carnegie Hall in New York City. Just as the choir finished its fifth and final se-
lection, the usually reserved Carnegie audience rose to its feet in a rousing standing ovation. “I will always remember the excitement of Carnegie Hall, and it’s my hope that our concert choir, concert band, brass ensemble, string quartet, theater students and special guests will be able to help recreate the magic of that night,” Miller said. “This time of the year people are generally in good spirits, and we want our Christmas Concert to add to their feelings of goodwill, peace and love. By inviting Salisbury’s mayor and our own esteemed president to join us with the performance, I feel certain we’ll
succeed.” As a special feature of this year’s Christmas Concert, Livingstone College is asking everyone who’s able to bring a canned good or non-perishable food item. All donations will be given to Rowan Helping Ministries. “Our food drive is just another way we want to help the community feel connected to Livingstone College,” Sessoms said. “And it’s a win-win situation because while people are being entertained at a stellar Christmas Concert, they can feel good inside knowing they’ve done something benevolent to help those in need.”

When Randolph Community College President Robert Shackleford announced the University Center of Randolph County in 2008, which offered bachelor’s degrees locally for the first time, it was momentous. RCC will make history a second time this spring when it again partners with Pfeiffer University to offer the first master’s degree in Randolph County. “I’m very excited about this development,” said Dr. Shackleford during the RCC Board of Trustees’ regular meeting on Nov. 18. “Through the University Center of Randolph County, we are able to offer some unprecedented educational opportunities for the people of our county, and this new master’s degree is a great step forward for the program.” The master of science degree in elementary education is for teachers with an elementary license looking to en-
rich their content knowledge and refine their ability to design and deliver effective instruction, according to Dr. Christopher Boe, director of graduate programs in elementary education at Pfeiffer. “We have eliminated much of the repetitive study that has historically been part of graduate programs of education,” Boe said. “In place of those concepts, we endeavored to add a focus on teacher leadership and instructional transformation.” The same full-time, highquality faculty who teaches Pfeiffer’s on-campus programs will teach the University Center classes. The program will be offered in hybrid format, a mix of traditional classroom meetings and online learning opportunities. Classes will meet one night weekly and the course load is six semester hours per term with students finishing in six semesters or two years. Classes will begin on Wednesday, Jan. 19, but the application
deadline is Friday, Dec. 3. Admissions requirements include a Pfeiffer application, official transcripts, writing sample, three recommendations, a copy of the applicant’s teaching license, and the Miller Analogies Test (MAT), which Pfeiffer will offer on the RCC campus. The program uses a cohort model, which means students will work through the program with the same group for every class. The program is accredited by the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) and approved by the N.C. Department of Public Instruction. Financial aid is available for those who qualify. Candidates currently working in school settings are eligible for a 40 percent tuition-reduction scholarship. For more information and to apply, students should contact Dr. Christopher Boe at 704-945-7352 or christopher.boe@fsmail.pfeiffer.edu.
Woman achieves dream of owning restaurant have fresh-cooked food and be able to relax and enjoy a meal,” Bradger said. The restaurant occupies the space of the Acadia Grill, a fixture in the Washington Park neighborhood for years. The name Big Mama’s is meant to evoke the kind of food that a Southern grandmother might make, she said. Bradger grew up in Fort Worth, Texas, and spent the past 34 years in the hair-stylist business, owning two beauty salons along the way, including the Crowning Glory Beauty Salon in Kernersville. But Bradger has been cooking since she was 3, thanks to her stepfather. “He would put me on a stool, and I would scramble eggs until they were brown,” she said. “And he would tell me I was the greatest cook in
the world.” She loves to find unique spices and foods from wherever in the world she travels. “My friends call me the concocter. If I can taste it, I can cook it,” Bradger said.
veloping photo was to be placed between two pieces of metal, joined on one end, known as a “cold clip” and placed in the area of the armpit, since this wellknown pressure point has an artery with much warmth from the flowing blood present within. In this case, one’s own body was used as an aid in the development of the picture’s chemicals, which was a much more beneficial use of the arm and armpit than the use of them by young boys at Granite Quarry School, in which sounds approximating a whoopie cushion were produced.
I still have some of my old Polaroid photographs from back then. The black and white ones still look fine, but the more expensive ones in color have faded a little with time (Ansel Adams was right). The taking of Polaroid pictures while traveling always necessitated the constant awareness of the location of a trash can in which to deposit the associated papers of development. In that respect, it was similar to traveling with a baby and a well-stocked bag of pampers, but in the Polaroid’s case, the mess produced a picture.

WINSTON-SALEM (AP) — Cynthia Bradger always dreamed of owning Big Mama’s Hole in the Wall restaurant. And on her grand-opening day last month, that’s exactly what she got. About three hours after Bradger finished her first day of business at Big Mama’s Southern Cooking with Soul at Historic Acadia Grill, a car crashed through the front of the building. “I was, like, ‘No way,’” Bradger said. The shards of plate glass and the shattered brick wall have been swept away, and Big Mama’s is back. Bradger reopened last week and she said business has been picking up every night. “We want people to be able to have the opportunity to

n these days of digital cameras with their electronic pulse of a flash, I sometimes miss an earlier camera, not so “squeaky clean” in its flash nor in its production of a picture. MACK The cam- WILLIAMS era was the Polaroid. My mother got me one for Christmas in the mid-1960s. When the picture was taken, the film, surrounded with a substantial paper border, was removed from the camera to watch develop before one’s eyes. A strip of paper attached to it was pulled out, upon which there was sometimes a chemical smear. This, along with watching the picture develop, made one feel as if he were in the photo lab, experimenting with the photographic chemicals which went into the making of a picture. At one time, my father had done his own development of his pictures years before. I remember one photograph of my mother, her face in profile. She was seated, with a sheet hung behind her for a backdrop. The photograph-to-be of the Polaroid was pulled out from the camera between two metal rolls which spread the chemicals, reminding me of earlier years when my mother pulled clothes through the rolls of our old wringer washing machine. The spent flashbulbs had the look of having been melted in the flash and refrozen, sometimes looking a little darkly singed. The chemicals of the developing photograph, in addition to needing some help in shadowy situations when the shutter was snapped, also required some extra warmth when the photographer was outside in cold weather. In such an instance, the de-

Full agenda as Congress resumes WASHINGTON (AP) — The unemployed and millionaires. Doctors and black farmers. Illegal immigrants hiding from the law and gays hiding in the military. Along with just about everybody else, they all have something at stake as Congress struggles to wrap up its work for the year. Lawmakers, after taking Thanksgiving week off, arrive in town today along with the Capitol Christmas tree for the final stretch of the postelection session. Facing a daunting agenda, they could have that tree in their sights well into Christmas week. At the top of the to-do list are the George W. Bush-era tax cuts, enacted in 2001 and 2003 and due to expire at year’s end. President Barack Obama and most Democrats want to retain them for any couple earning $250,000 or less a year. Republicans are bent on making them permanent for everybody, including the richest. The cuts apply to rates on wage income as well as to dividends and capital gains. A failure to act would mean big tax increases for people at every income level. Obama has scheduled a meeting at the White House with Republican leaders on Tuesday, and possible options for compromise will be on the table, including providing a temporary extension for the wealthy. Congress also has a Dec. 3 deadline to pass a temporary spending bill to avoid a government shutdown. The Senate hasn’t passed a single spending bill for the budget year that began Oct. 1. Democrats are working on a catchall $1.1 trillion to fund the government’s day-to-day operations. Republicans, fresh off their election victory, are unlikely to go along. “If this election showed us anything, it’s that Americans

One idea is to fund the government at current levels through February, when the next Congress and its influx of anti-spending conservatives, will deal with the matter. If the pre-Thanksgiving first week of the lame-duck session is any indication, the chances aren’t good that Congress will accomplish much in the weeks ahead. The House tried, and failed, to extend federal unemployment checks for the 2 million people whose benefits will run out during the holiday season. Republicans objected, saying the $12.5 billion cost of the three-month extension should be paid for so it doesn’t add to the deficit. The Senate’s main achievement was approval of a longdelayed settlement with black farmers and American Indians who say they were swindled out of aid, subsidies and royalties in past dealings with the government. Under the

agreement awaiting House approval, black farmers would receive almost $1.2 billion and American Indians $3.4 billion. The Senate also postponed, for a month, a 23 percent cut in Medicare payments to doctors; it was to begin on Dec. 1. The House is expected to go along, giving lawmakers time to come up with a longer-term plan to avoid cuts that could prompt doctors to stop seeing Medicare patients. Also on the House agenda is a last-ditch effort by Democrats to show they have not forgotten immigration policy. Legislation known as the Dream Act, which has stumbled once in the Senate, would provide a path to legal status for the children of illegal immigrants who either go to college or join the military. Also on the to-do list, Senate Republicans have blocked a defense bill that would end the military’s ban on gays serving opening. The Pentagon is to release a report Tuesday on how lifting “don’t ask, don’t tell” would affect military operations, and Democrats say they will try again to change the policy.
TAX FROM 1a of the health care overhaul debate. But Washington has changed, with Republicans back in power and widespread fears that the burden of government debt may drag down the economy. “There is no short-term prospect of enactment,” former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, a leading Democratic adviser on health care. “However, in a tax reform (and) deficit reducing context in the long term, the prospects are much better,” said Daschle. He opposes repealing the tax break by itself, but says he would be “willing to look” at it with other changes that improve access to quality health care while reducing costs. Labor unions believed they had squelched any such talk. Now, they’re preparing for another fight. Tampering with health care tax breaks is “a terrible step in the wrong direction,” said Mary Kay Henry, the new president of the Service Employees International Union, which represents many hospital workers. “We want the middle class stabilized, not destabilized.” Employer-provided health insurance is part of a worker’s compensation. Unlike wages, it isn’t subject to income and payroll taxes. Repealing the tax break would raise several hundred billion dollars a year, depending on how it’s done. Many economists believe employers would boost pay if they didn’t provide health care. Proponents of repeal usually call for a tax credit to offset part of the cost of individually purchasing coverage. The leaders of Obama’s deficit commission — Democrat Erskine Bowles, a former Clinton White House chief of staff, and Alan Simpson, a former GOP senator from

to collect basic contact information about U.N. officials that included Internet passwords, credit card numbers and frequent flyer numbers. They were asked to obtain fingerprints, ID photos, DNA and iris scans of people of interest to the United States, Le Monde said. The Times said another batch of documents raised questions about Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi and his relationship with Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin. One cable said Berlusconi “appears increasingly to be the mouthpiece of Putin” in Europe, the Times reported. Italy’s Foreign Minister Franco Frattini on Sunday called the release the “Sept. 11 of world diplomacy,” in that everything that had once been accepted as normal has now changed. Der Spiegel reported that the cables portrayed German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle in unflattering terms. It said American diplomats saw Merkel as risk-averse and Westerwelle as largely powerless. Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi, meanwhile, was described as erratic and in the near constant company of a Ukrainian nurse who was described in one cable as “a voluptuous blonde,” according to the Times. The Obama administration has been bracing for the release for the past week. Top officials have notified allies that the contents of the diplomatic cables could prove embarrassing because they contain candid assessments of foreign leaders and their governments, as well as details of American policy. The State Department’s top lawyer warned Assange late Saturday that lives and military operations would be put at risk if the cables were released. Legal adviser Harold Koh said WikiLeaks would be breaking the law if it went ahead. He also rejected a request from Assange to cooperate in removing sensitive details from the documents. In a session Sunday with a group of Arab journalists, Assange said, “The State Department understands that we are a responsible organization, so it is trying to make it as hard as it can for us to publish responsibly.” He called the Obama administration “a regime that doesn’t believe in the freedom of the press and doesn’t act like it believes it.”

Wyoming — have proposed to limit the tax break or eliminate it along with other cherished deductions, such as the one for mortgage interest. That would allow for a big cut in tax rates. The commission is supposed to report its plan on Wednesday. It’s unclear if leaders have the votes to back their sweeping changes. A separate group, the Bipartisan Policy Center, is proposing to cap the health care tax break in 2018 and eliminate it over the next 10 years. That’s part of a deficit reduction strategy from Democrat Alice Rivlin, a former Federal Reserve vice chairman, and former Sen. Pete Domenici, R-N-M., who once led the Senate Budget Committee. “The problem of rising debt is so serious that Republicans and Democrats are going to have go back and look at almost everything to see how we solve this,” said Rivlin. Simpson calls the health care tax break a “tax earmark.” He said that “you cannot get anything done in this game unless you deal with every single aspect of the federal budget, and the biggest thing to wrap our arms around is health care.” Democrats struggled with proposals to curb the tax break during the health care debate, but strong opposition from organized labor won out. The compromise was a tax on high-cost health insurance plans, which won’t go into effect until 2018. In a twist, the health care law eventually may make it easier to pry people away from employer insurance, a system that dates to World War II and has sustained three generations. Starting in 2014, new insurance markets will make it easier for people to buy coverage on their own. These state-based “exchanges” would work like the federal employee health plan. Taxpayer subsidies will help individuals and families with low to moderate incomes pay premiums.

3 killed, 1 injured in fiery crash SNOW HILL (AP) — The North Carolina Highway Patrol says three people have died and one person was in critical condition after a fiery crash in Greene County. A Highway Patrol spokeswoman said Sunday that Shirley Francis Mitchell, 24, of Greenville and Chiquiti Taylor, 20, and Jonathan Darnell Lucas Jr., 25, of Snow Hill were killed in Friday’s crash. Multiple media outlets reported that the injured person was a passenger in Lucas’ car and was taken to a local hospital in critical condition. That person’s name was not released. Taylor also was a passenger in Lucas’ car. Trooper C.B. Kase said Mitchell’s Cadillac Escalade crossed the center line on U.S. 13, crashed into Lucas’ car and caught fire.
Town commissioner’s charged with murder PINE LEVEL (AP) — The son of a Pine Level commissioner has been charged with murder in the death of another man in what the police chief says is possibly the first homicide in the town about 30 miles southeast of Raleigh. The News & Observer of Raleigh reported that Stefan Gudac, 23, was arrested Saturday morning in connection with the fatal shooting of Devin Barber of Smithfield. Police chief Keith Sparks says the case has been turned over the State Bureau of Investigation because Gudac is the son of Anthony Gudac — the town commissioner who oversees the police department. Sparks says Stefan Gudac and Barber grew up together and had gotten into a fight before the shooting.
Argument leads to shooting death FAYETTEVILLE (AP) — Cumberland County investigators are asking for help in finding a man they want to question in connection with a fatal shooting. The Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release Sunday that investigators are looking for Marcus Harris, 36, in connection with the shooting death of Christopher Jenrette, 24. Jenrette was found shot to death about 3:30 a.m. Sunday.
Ex-boyfriend kills two, then kills self MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Memphis Police say a 27year-old man is responsible for killing his ex-girlfriend and her father before shooting himself on Thanksgiving night. Police identified Derek Boykin of Memphis as the shooter of Britteny Davis, 22, and her father, Edd Davis, 56, who were found shot to death in the parking lot of an apartment complex. Boykin found that night inside her apartment with a self-inflicted and fatal gunshot wound after Memphis Police Department TACT unit officers forced their way into the residence.
CHARLOTTE (AP) — Charlotte police records show that hundreds of officers have been suspended or fired for misconduct in the past five years and prosecutors say that leads to hundreds of dropped cases, a newspaper reported Sunday. The Charlotte Observer reported that Mecklenburg County District Attorney Peter Gilchrist said hundreds of cases have been dismissed because officers’ misconduct compromised their credibility. “It’s not unusual for officers to come to our attention, and when he is dismissed or resigns, for us to go in and dismiss a substantial number of cases,” Gilchrist said. From July 1, 2009 to June 30, Mecklenburg prosecutors dropped just more than half of all felony cases compared with a statewide average of 35 percent. Gilchrist’s comments last week came days after the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department became the first to open its disciplinary records under a new state law. The department released the names of officers who were fired or connected to more than 400 suspensions in the last five years. Deputy Chief Kerr Putney said only about 4 percent of the department’s 1,685 officers face discipline in any given year. The files released Nov. 19 included the 2007 case of officer E.W. Garrison, who was recommended for firing after he was accused of lying in court during a 2005 drunken driving trial. As a result, prosecutors dismissed 131 charges, including 40 cases involving charges of driving while impaired. Putney said such instances are rare. “We don’t have a great number of officers the

DA says I’m not going to trust,” Putney said. But early this year, prosecutors dismissed roughly 70 cases handled by Officer Brian Cloninger after he was accused of trying to rig a lineup during a robbery investigation. Cloninger resigned. Last year, two former officers, Gerald Holas and Jason Ross, were sentenced to nine years in prison for conspiring to distribute cocaine. The judge in their case admonished the two not just for their criminal behavior, but because 50 criminal cases were dismissed because of their actions. Gilchrist said the cases are dismissed because a defendant’s attorney can easily challenge the officer’s credibility during trial. Cases involving officers who were lie in court can lead to the dismissal of 100 cases or more. Thomas Maher, executive director of the state Office of Indigent Defense Services, said wholesale dismissals described by Gilchrist are rare. “I don’t know how often you have an officer who flatout lied to the point where you can’t believe anything they say,” Maher said. Maher said more often, prosecutors won’t let officers testify in an individual case because of bad notes or other record-keeping issues. The state Conference of District Attorneys doesn’t track how often cases are dismissed because of officer conduct. But that group’s director, Peg Dorer, says it makes sense for prosecutors to be wary of officers who have been fired or resigned under pressure. “How far are you going to get with other cases?” Dorer said. “If they are lying in court, you are bringing (cases) in only to have them thrown out.”
SC chief says www.salisburypost.com trooper response times could slow COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — South Carolina Public Safety Department director Mark Keel says people may notice a slowdown in trooper response time to highway incidents as budget cuts are thinning the ranks. Keel told The State of Columbia that there are 163 fewer troopers patrolling South Carolina’s rural highways and interstates than in 2008 and there is no money to replace them. More than a third of those troopers left this year for higher paying jobs at other police agencies, Keel added. Some small rural counties may have to share a single trooper per shift and larger counties may have just three troopers patrolling the interstates and highways at night. Last year, the average response time for the Highway Patrol was 30 minutes. Keel says he expects that will show an increase for this year and could get worse. Drivers “may sit in traffic longer than they otherwise would,” Keel said. “The roads may not be as safe as if we had more troopers on the road.” To try to fill the gaps, Keel has asked the General Assembly for $5.5 million next year to hire 100 more troopers and $5 million to allow the agency to pay those officers it has for more than 100,000 hours in overtime. That would be the equivalent of adding as many as 60 new troopers, according to the Public Safety Department’s budget request. But that’s a tough sell as state lawmakers have to find more than $800 million to cut from the state’s $5 billion budget. David Latimer, executive director of the South Carolina Troopers Association, said his group would like to see more troopers, but he says those on the job need a raise. “It’s a delicate issue,” Latimer said. Keel agrees that pay needs to go up. “We’ve had I don’t know how many years in state government where we haven’t had raises,” Keel said.º

RALEIGH (AP) — The weather may still be mild, but Gov. Beverly Perdue wants North Carolina residents to start thinking about winter. Perdue has declared this week Winter Weather Preparedness Week in a bid to encourage people to start planning now. State officials say residents should keep alternate heating sources ready, properly vent kerosene heaters and electric generators outside the home and keep a three-day supply of food at the ready. Forecasters expect a drier than normal winter due to La Nina. But National Weather Service meteorologist Jeff Orrock says a big storm is still possible. Record snowfall that hit the state in January 2000 fell during a La Nina cycle.

DNA test reveals that woman’s father is not really her biological one Dear Amy: I am a 37-yearold woman. Through a DNA test, I recently learned that my father is not my biological dad. Growing up I didn’t look anything like my sister. She is very pale, and I’m dark skinned. I confronted my mother, and she denied ever being with a man other than my dad. What’s worse is she ASK stormed out AMY after this conversation, saying, “Fine — I’m a bad mother. Hate me forever!� Amy, I’m angry because this isn’t about her being a good or bad mother. It’s about my not knowing who I am. I feel so lost, and I don’t know how to move forward.
I can’t talk to my dad about this because he has alcoholic dementia and he wouldn’t understand. What’s worse is that a few of my mother’s friends (and my sister) knew that he was possibly not my biological father. There’s no way I could find out who my dad is because the rumor is that he was a military man. If my mom doesn’t own up to it or doesn’t remember, I’ll never get this resolved. I am married to a very wonderful man, and we have two great kids, but I still feel empty and alone. I just want to go away and be by myself, and my heart is always aching. How do I move forward? — Lost Dear Lost: You move forward one little step at a time. Your mother’s reaction to you, while unkind, is under-
standable. She has boxed herself into a corner over this, and you might make some headway by helping her climb out. Tell her what you’re thinking and feeling. Tell her, “This doesn’t mean you are a bad mother, and I don’t hate you, but I need to know the truth about who I am. I don’t judge you; I just need to know the truth.� Don’t rely on rumors or hearsay, but try your hardest to coax the truth from your mother. Dear Amy: I went out with a guy 23 years older than me for nine months. I enjoyed his company and companionship. I became apprehensive about him because he pushed me three times. Twice he pushed me as I was getting out of his car. It could have been because
I did not kiss him the way he wanted — but who knows? I perform poetry occasionally, and he pushed me with quite a bit of force after I finished performing, pretending that he was congratulating me. I told him each time to stop pushing me. I said I do not like it. He said he didn’t mean to do it. After the last time, I told him I did not want to see him because of this behavior. He said he would call but has not. Do you think I made a wise decision? I miss our relationship, but I don’t want to continue seeing someone who shows aggression toward me. He reads your column and respects your opinion, and I’m wondering what you think. — Ex-Girlfriend Dear Ex: I think it’s a good thing you’re an “ex.� I hope
you stay that way and keep your distance from this man. You read his pushes correctly as aggression, you expressed yourself to him about it, you asked him to stop and he didn’t. The only way to ensure that this man didn’t continue to physically assault you was to leave the relationship. Pushing you is his way of retaliating if you assert yourself (by getting out of the car before he wants you to or by performing publicly and receiving applause). This is dangerous behavior. I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that he has assaulted other women. I hope he gets help. He could start by contacting the “My strength is not for hurting� campaign at www.mystrength.org.

you to be less materialistic and therefore more easily satisfied with what life brings you. It’s a fact that gratitude actually creates joy within our souls. 2) Celebration is good for your health. The gratitude that wells up from the act of celebration has been studied scientifically for its health benefits. The results prove that gratitude is strongly linked to emotional and physical health. Just five minutes of gratitude can shift the nervous system toward a calmer state. 3) Celebration creates a circle of love. When we rejoice in the presence and accomplishments of others, they feel uplifted. Research has shown that an act of gratitude encourages another person, and that creates a circle of reciprocal love. 4) Celebration moves us from fear to faith. Studies show that the most grateful people have often been through difficult and challenging experiences. Individuals who have overcome adversity are more optimistic and grateful than the average person. 5) Celebration shifts us

from tired to inspired. Reminding ourselves of how good life really is cultivates gratitude. Recent research shows that emotions work at lightning speed and often bypass reasoning. By cultivating gratitude, we encourage positive feelings that are almost instantaneous -- feelings that are more powerful in their own way than positive thoughts. 6) Celebration heals. According to a recent study on organ donations, the more gratitude a recipient of an organ feels the faster that person's recovery. There were 74 transplant recipients of a heart, liver, lung, kidney or pancreas who participated in the study. Those recipients who expressed gratitude, directly or indirectly in journals, felt physically better and functioned at a higher level than those who did not. Very soon, we will have three natural reasons to celebrate: Christmas, Hanukkah and New Year’s. So pull out all the stops. Celebrate! But don’t let your celebrations end there. Look for every reason imaginable to celebrate, e.g., the last day of autumn, the first day of winter, the first

For all of us who love John Lennon and his music, 2010 has been a year of special anniversaries. Earlier this year, we celebrated the 70th anniversary of his birth in Liverpool, and with it the memory of how the Beatles changed the world — and us — and how Lennon continued to make honest, brave and provocative music after the great band split apart. But we also must return to that terrible evening 30 years ago, on Dec. 8, 1980, when Lennon was murdered outside his apartment building in New York City. “Lennon NYC,� a documentary about his solo career, his love of New York City and his life in the United States after the breakup of the Beatles, brings back a rush of these memories. This fine work, written and directed by Michael Epstein, aired on PBS stations last month and will be released on DVD this week (A&E Home Entertainment, $24.95, not rated). Much of this story is familiar, of course, to the legions of Lennon fans. It’s a story that has been told well in previous documentaries. “Imagine: John Lennon,� from 1988, placed the emphasis on the personal side of his life, especially his sometimes-tumultuous relationship with his wife, Yoko Ono, and his adoration for his young son, Sean. “The U.S. vs. John Lennon,� from 2006, focused more on his activism against the Vietnam War and the difficult and long struggle he fought to avoid the deportation sought by the administration of Richard Nixon. “Lennon NYC� attempts to synthesize the key elements of these two earlier films. It provides information about his family life, solo recordings, politics and the deportation case, while adding previously littleseen home movies and rarely heard interviews and recording-studio banter, as well as concert footage, photographs and new interviews with many of those who knew him. As its title indicates, the new film emphasizes Lennon and Ono’s love of New York City, a place where they found artistic freedom and a semblance of a private life following their harassment by the British tabloid press before, during and after the Beatles’ demise. In a radio interview, Lennon explained why he was contesting the deportation: “I love it here. That’s why I’m fighting so much to stay here in New York. Maybe they could just ban me from Ohio, or something.� He added, “I’d like to live here. I don’t harm anybody. I’ve got a bit of a loud mouth, that’s about all. I certainly think there’s room for an odd Lennon or two here.� “Lennon NYC� takes viewers along on a lively journey concerning his friendship with anti-war activists/Yippies Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin, his plan to join them in 1972 on a nationwide concert tour/voter-registration campaign (the 1972 elections were the first in which 18-year-olds were allowed to vote) and his recording his radical “Some Time in New York City� album with the New York band Elephant’s Memory. Ultimately, the tour was disrupted by the Nixon administration’s effort to deport him.
The film leaves New York to recount Lennon’s “Lost Weekend,� a time in the early ‘70s when he and Ono separated and he went on a prolonged drugsand-alcohol binge in Los Angeles. Despite his depression and steady drunkenness, Lennon managed to record his “Rock ‘n’ Roll� album of personal favorites by other writers. Lennon returned to New York in 1974, where he wrote and recorded “Walls and Bridges� and soon got back together with Ono. The documentary moves along to some of the happiest years of Lennon’s life. New interviews and rarely seen footage and photographs chronicle the birth of the couple’s son, Sean, on the same day the entertainer won his deportation case and the anniversary of his own birth. But as the film explores his decision to become what he called a “house husband� and leave the music business to raise his son, as well as his eventual return to the recording studio, in 1980, to make the “Double Fantasy� album, a sense of dread arises.

Celebrate? With all that's going on in our economy, our nation — our world? You may be thinking that’s the last thing you’ll be doing now or any time soon. If so, let me encourage you to think again. Now, of all times, we need to celebrate wherever and whenever possible. In their book, “Why Good Things Happen to Good People,� authors Stephen Post Jill and Neimark tell us that cele- MARY bration is one of the HUNT most important ways that we express gratitude. Celebration is gratitude in action, and celebration — like rest, seat belts and green leafy vegetables — is good for us! 1) Celebration creates joy. Feeling down in the dumps?

My Turn: Sam Morgan
Easley has at least one more fine still to pay ormer Democratic Gov. Mike Easley walked away from court on Tuesday with the long federal and state investigation finally ended. The US Attorney and a special state prosecutor, both Republicans, agreed to let Easley plead guilty to one felony charge of falsely certifying a campaign disclosure report that omitted details about one airplane flight - a class I felony that, considering his HALL lack of previous convictions, brought him a $1,000 fine and a $153 bill for court costs. The puny punishment is neither a deterrent for the future nor an honest portrayal of the wrongdoing that happened. The plea agreement resulted from intense legal wrangling about an obscure state law that complicated prosecution, the actual weakness of the federal criminal investigation, and the consensus among defense and prosecuting attorneys that a felony conviction alone, without a hefty fine or jail time, sends a message that stiff punishment is being handed down. It’s doubtful the public will agree. For all its effort, the U.S. Attorney’s office apparently did not obtain the kind of eyewitness testimony and documentary evidence of criminal corruption needed to pursue a federal case. And the state’s special prosecutor said he found no fraudulent use of campaign funds that went beyond the dozens of airplane flights and other campaign transactions that the Mike Easley Committee did not accurately report on its required disclosure reports. However, news accounts and our complaint in 2009 pointed out specific examples of illegal campaign contributions which the Easley Committee later admitted happened, and the State Board of Elections fined the Committee $100,000 for a host of unreported flights, some provided by corporations as illegal contributions. Easley’s attorney sought to spin the final verdict as a vindication of his client against charges of corruption, and indeed, no one could show that he reached the level of corrupt deal-making involved in the prosecution of former Agriculture Commissioner Meg Scott Phipps and former Speaker Jim Black. Such distinctions are important — all corruption is not the same. But the composite picture of lucrative special favors, deceit and illegal campaign practices involved in the Mike Easley case serves as another reminder of how public officials and candidates eager for money will bend rules, even cross the line, to obtain extra funds. The underlying pressure driving political corruption is only increasing, especially with the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to allow corporations to spend unlimited sums to influence election outcomes. It’s folly to think that the money-drenched campaign system won’t keep turning a dangerous share of charming public servants into greedy hustlers. The only bright spot in the plea agreement hearing was Easley telling the judge, “I have to take responsibility for what the campaign does. The buck has to stop somewhere. It stops with me.” That said, he should now accept responsibility for the $100,000 fine levied against the Easley campaign committee by the State Board of Elections; the committee paid only $6,000 and has nothing left after paying attorney fees. Now it’s Mike Easley’s responsibility: he should pay the other $94,000. And the General Assembly should enact a law to clarify that the buck really does stop with the candidate. • • •

o, the Rowan-Salisbury Board of Education, in all its infant wisdom, plans to just follow along lockstep and arm-in-arm with the state board and eliminate even more ways to evaluate student performance towards promotion. How very clever! How very today! And, while you’re at it, while you’re on this road towards the complete and utter annihilation of what was once the greatest education system in the world, why don’t you just get it over with and eliminate end-of-grade and end-of-course testing, too! In fact, why bother with any kind of testing? Why even bother with academics, for that matter? We already have a generation or two of idiots who think the sole purpose of government is to provide for them from the time they’re born until they croak. Our socialist government already subsidizes illegitimacy to the tune of millions and millions of dollars every year, and seems hell-bent to provide all the basic necessities for anyone who invades our country and sets up shop. (If the Japanese and Germans had only waited 60 years!) Just think of the possibilities for students once you remove the onus of their having to learn anything they feel is unimportant to their tiny little self-absorbed lives. Just think of the money our blessed school system could save from not having to hire English, algebra, biology, civics or economics teachers, not to mention those dreaded purveyors of U.S. history! Students would have so much more time to spend on the truly important things — things like sports, shopping, social networking, having more children out of wedlock, etc. Did I mention sports? God forbid that any “gateways” to any sports program be eliminated. That would be sacrilege! If you did that, a lot of students would no longer have any need or desire to go to school whatsoever. Hey! That’s the ticket! We might just be onto something here — let’s just eliminate schools altogether and let those precious minds of mush out there run amuck — doing whatever makes them feel good instead of having to actually sit down and use their brains to learn something that’s of no interest to them whatsoever! Now you’re talking real conformity! The point I'm trying to make is that it’s time — way past time — for the education system in this country to be shaken to its very core. It’s time for people who still believe in what is good and decent to finally take a stand and drop this self-deprecating rush to dumb down everything to the lowest common denominator so it can save everyone! You do not improve education by marginalizing it. You do not inspire personal excellence, creativity or accountability by constantly lowering standards. That’s the very reason why we lag in comparison to other countries in math, science and other academics and we will continue to spiral downwards as long as we demand less of our students, not more! It frosts me to no end every single time I hear some school administrator point to even more money as the save-all for the education system. More money has never equated to a better education, and it never will. That’s such a load of crock! (It’s a proven fact — just ask anyone from the Kansas City, Mo., school districts about their failed attempt at throwing money at education to improve it!) As our case is new — so we must think anew and act anew. We must disenthrall ourselves and then we shall save our education system, and along with it, our country. This is no time for men or women who have opposed the way our education system has been misled and mishandled for so long to keep silent! We can no longer escape responsibility for allowing things to get as bad as they’ve become. To improve our children's education, we have to refocus on the ideals and principles that helped to lay the groundwork and became the cornerstones for our forefathers’ morality and make it work for us once again. You don’t improve education by eliminating standards — no matter how trivial or insignificant they may seem at the time. You do it by raising them and holding people to them — young and old! • • • Sam Morgan lives in Salisbury.

Trying to buy the 364 items repeated in all the song’s verses — from 12 drummers drumming to a partridge in a pear tree — would cost $96,824, an increase of 10.8 percent over last year, according to the annual Christmas Price Index compiled by PNC Wealth Management. So you might want to try for one of everything. That would cost only $23,439, or 9.2 percent more than last year. The 27th annual holiday index has historically mirrored the national Consumer Price Index, but not this year. The PNC Christmas Price Index grew 9.2 percent from last year, compared with just a 1.1 percent increase in the much

The Republican takeover of the U.S. House of Representatives and a recent historic shift in emissions — developing countries now produce more greenhouse gases than the old industrial world — all but guarantee the standoff will drag on, at least for another year or two. “The world is waiting for fruitful negotiations,” Mexico’s environment secretary, Juan Rafael Elvira Quesada, told The Associated Press.

Nielsen first performed as the king of France in the Paramount operetta “The Vagabond King” with Kathryn Grayson. The film — he called it “The Vagabond Turkey” — flopped, but MGM signed him to a seven-year contract. His first film for that studio was auspicious — as the space ship commander in the science fiction classic “Forbidden Planet.” He found his best dramatic role as the captain of an overturned ocean liner in the 1972 disaster movie, “The Poseidon Adventure.” Behind the camera, the serious actor was a well-known prankster. That was an aspect of his personality never exploited, however, until “Airplane!” was released in 1980 and became a huge hit. As the doctor aboard a plane in which the pilots, and some of the passengers, become violently ill, Nielsen says they must get to a hospital right away. “A hospital? What is it?” a flight attendant asks, inquiring about the illness. “It’s a big building with patients, but that’s not important right now,” Nielsen deadpans. Critics argued he was being cast against type, but Nielsen disagreed, saying comedy was what he intended to do all along. “I’ve always been cast against type before,” he said of his early years in Hollywood. It was what he would do for most of the rest of his career, appearing in such comedies as “Repossessed” — a takeoff on “The Exorcist” — and “Mr. Magoo,” in which he played the title role of the good-natured bumbler.

Beginning today, 15,000 government delegates, environmentalists, business leaders, journalists and others will gather in the meeting halls of this steamy Caribbean resort for the annual conference of the 193nation U.N. climate treaty.

The most expensive item on the list was $6,294.03 to hire nine ladies dancing, a 15 percent increase from last year. The cheapest was $12 for one patridge, a 20 percent increase. PNC Financial Services Group Inc. checks jewelry stores, dance companies, pet stores and other sources to compile the list. Some of its sources this year include the National Aviary in Pittsburgh and the Philadelphia-based Pennsylvania Ballet Company. The annual index is also used in middle and high schools across the country to teach economic trends.

Actor Leslie Nielsen dies LOS ANGELES (AP) — Leslie Nielsen had the somber demeanor and stone-serious face that were just right for dramatic roles. They proved even better for comedy. “Surely you can’t be serious,” an airline passenger says to Nielsen in “Airplane!” the 1980 hit that turned the actor from dramatic leading man to comic star. “I am serious,” Nielsen replies. “And don’t call me Shirley.” The line was probably his most famous — and a perfect distillation of his career. NIELSEN Nielsen, the dramatic lead in “Forbidden Planet” and “The Poseidon Adventure” and the bumbling detective in “The Naked Gun” comedies, died on Sunday in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. He was 84. The native of Canada died from complications from pneumonia at a hospital near his home, surrounded by his wife, Barbaree, and friends, his agent John S. Kelly said in a statement. “We are saddened by the passing of beloved actor Leslie Nielsen, probably best remembered as Lt. Frank Drebin in ‘The Naked Gun’ series of pictures, but who enjoyed a more than 60-year career in motion pictures and television,” said Kelly. Nielsen came to Hollywood in the mid-1950s after performing in 150 live television dramas in New York. With a craggily handsome face, blond hair and 6-foot-2 height, he seemed ideal for a movie leading man.

BRUSSELS (AP) — European Union nations agreed to give $89.4 billion in bailout loans to Ireland on Sunday to help it weather the cost of its massive banking crisis, and sketched out new rules for future emergencies in an effort to restore faith in the euro currency. The rescue deal, approved by finance ministers at an emergency meeting in Brussels, means two of the eurozone’s 16 nations have now come to depend on foreign help and underscores Europe’s struggle to contain its spreading debt crisis. The fear is that with Greece and now Ireland shored up, speculative traders will target the bloc’s other weak fiscal links, particularly Portugal. In Dublin, Irish Prime Minister Brian Cowen said his country will take $10 billion immediately to boost the capital reserves of its state-backed banks, whose bad loans were picked up by the Irish government but have become too much to handle. The rest of the loans will be used to cover Ireland’s deficits for the coming four years. EU chiefs also gave Ireland an extra year, until 2015, to reduce its annual deficits to 3 percent of GDP, the eurozone limit.

South Korean leader vows consequences for artillery attack SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea’s president took responsibility today for failing to protect his citizens from a deadly North Korean artillery attack last week, vowing tough consequences for any future aggression and expressing outrage over the “ruthlessness of the North Korean regime.” Lee Myung-bak’s short speech to the country came as a nuclear-powered U.S. supercarrier and a South Korean destroyer participated in joint military exercises, a united show of force nearly a week after an artillery barrage on Yeonpyeong island killed four, including two civilians. Amid the heightened tension, classified U.S. State Department documents leaked Sunday by online whistle-blower WikiLeaks showed the United States and South Korea discussing possible scenarios for reunification of the peninsula, and American worry over Pyongyang’s nuclear weapons program. Under pressure to take stronger action in dealing with the defiant North, Lee lashed out at Pyongyang. “Only a few meters away from where shells landed, there is a school where classes were going on,” Lee said. “I am outraged by the ruthlessness of the North Korean regime, which is even indifferent to the lives of little children.” Lee has come under withering criticism for what opponents have called lapses in South Korea’s response to the attack. Lee has replaced his defense minister, ordered
reinforcements for the 4,000 troops on Yeonpyeong and four other Yellow Sea islands and upgraded rules of engagement. “If the North commits any additional provocations against the South, we will make sure that it pays a dear price without fail,” Lee said. “The South Korean people now unequivocally understand that prolonged endurance and tolerance will spawn nothing but more serious provocations.” He didn’t offer specifics about what consequences the North would face, and he offered few details on what actions South Korea will take in response to last week’s attack, other than promising to strengthen the military. “I feel deeply responsible for failing to protect my people’s lives and property,” Lee said. In South Korea, it is not rare for top officials to resign, apologize or express responsibility when their government faces public criticism. Minutes after Lee finished his speech, North Korea issued a fresh threat to attack South Korea and the United States, calling the allies’ joint war drills “yet another grave military provocation.” The maneuvers are an “intentional plot” by the United States and South Korea to prepare for war against North Korea, Pyongyang’s main Rodong Sinmun newspaper said in a commentary. The North will launch counter attacks without hesitation on South Korea and U.S. forces if they engage in

China, the North’s only major ally, has belatedly jumped into the fray. Beijing’s top nuclear envoy, Wu Dawei, called for an emergency meeting in early December among regional powers involved in nuclear disarmament talks, including North Korea. Seoul gave a cool response to Beijing’s proposal, saying it should be “reviewed very carefully” in light of North Korea’s recent revelation of a
new uranium-enrichment facility. The troubled relations between the two Koreas, which fought a three-year war in the 1950s, have steadily deteriorated since Lee’s conservative government took power in 2008 with a tough new policy toward the North. Eight months ago, a South Korean warship went down in the western waters, killing 46 sailors in the worst attack on the South Korean military since the Korean War. Then, last Tuesday, North Korean troops showered artillery on Yeonpyeong,
a South Korean-held island that houses military bases as well as a civilian population — an attack that marked a new level of hostility. Two South Korean marines and two civilians were killed and 18 others wounded in the hailstorm of artillery that sent residents fleeing into bunkers and reduced homes on the island to charred rubble. North Korea blamed the South for provoking the attack by holding artillery drills near the Koreas’ maritime border, and has threatened to be “merciless” if the war games — set to last until Dec. 1 — get too close to its territory. Appearing on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday, U.S. Sen. John McCain said it was time to discuss “regime change” in North Korea, but the former Navy combat pilot said he was not suggesting military action. He said the Chinese, the North’s closest ally, should rein in its neighbor, and he accused Beijing of failing to play a responsible role in either the Korean peninsula or the world stage. The documents leaked by WikiLeaks showed deep U.S. worries about North Korean and Iranian nuclear programs. The New York Times published documents that indicated the United States and South Korea were “gaming out an eventual collapse of North Korea” and discussing the prospects for a unified country, if the North’s economic troubles and political transition lead it to implode.
Fire raises fears of backlash CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) — Someone set fire to an Islamic center on Sunday, two days after a man who worshipped there was accused of trying to blow up a van full of explosives during Portland’s Christmas tree lighting ceremony. Other Muslims fear it could be the first volley of misplaced retribution. The charges against Mohamed Osman Mohamud, a Somali-born 19-year-old who was caught in a federal sting operation, are testing tolerance in a state that has been largely accepting of Muslims. Muslims who know the suspect say they are shocked by the allegations against him and that he had given them no hint of falling into radicalism. The fire at the Salman AlFarisi Islamic Center in Corvallis was reported at 2:15 a.m., and evidence at the scene led authorities to believe it was set intentionally, said Carla Pusateri, a fire prevention officer for the Corvallis Fire Department. Authorities don’t know who started the blaze or why, but they believe the center was targeted because Mohamud occasionally worshipped there. Arthur Balizan, special agent in charge of the FBI in Oregon, said there’s no conclusive link to the bombing in Portland or specific evidence that it’s a hate crime, other than the timing. U.S. Attorney Dwight Holton vowed to prosecute the case aggressively. “The fact is that violent extremists come from all re-
ligions and no religion at all. For one person to blame a group, if that’s what happened here, is uniquely antiAmerican and will be pursued with the full force of the Justice Department,” he said. Mohamud was being held on charges of plotting to carry out a terror attack Friday on a crowd of thousands at Portland’s Pioneer Courthouse Square. He is scheduled to appear in court on Monday, and it wasn’t clear if he had a lawyer yet. On Friday, he parked what he thought was a bomb-laden van near the ceremony and then went to a nearby train station, where he dialed a cell phone that he believed would detonate the vehicle, federal authorities said. Instead, federal authorities moved in and arrested him. No one was hurt. There were also no injuries in Sunday’s fire, which burned 80 percent of the center’s office but did not spread to worship areas or any other rooms, said Yosof Wanly, the center’s imam. After daybreak, members gathered at the center, where a broken window had been boarded up. “I’ve prayed for my family and friends, because obviously if someone was deliberate enough to do this, what’s to stop them from coming to our homes and our schools?” said Mohamed Alyagouri, a 31-year-old father of two who worships at the center. “I’m afraid for my children getting harassed from their teachers, maybe from their friends.”
Wanly said he was thinking about temporarily relocating his family because of the possibility of hate crimes. “We know how it is, we know some people due to ignorance are going to perceive of these things and hold most Muslims accountable,” Wanly said. But he said Corvallis, a college town about 75 miles southwest of Portland, has long been accepting of Muslims. “The common scene here is to be very friendly, accepting various cultures and religions,” Wanly said. “The Islamic center has been here for 40 years, it’s more American than most Americans with regards to age.” In Portland, residents are alarmed by the terror plot, but Mayor Sam Adams said they are “not going to let this change our values of being an open and embracing city.” He said that he beefed up patrols around mosques “and other facilities that might be vulnerable to knuckle-headed retribution” after hearing of the bomb plot. The FBI was working closely with leadership at the Corvallis center as agents investigated the fire, Balizan said. The bureau has established a telephone tip line and a $10,000 reward has been offered for information leading to an arrest. Wanly said Mohamud moved to the U.S. from Somalia as a young boy. Mohamud graduated from high school in the Portland suburb of Beaverton. He attended Oregon State University but dropped out on Oct. 6.

No joy for Panthers BY TOM WITHERS Associated Press
AssociAted Press
carolina Panthers kicker John Kasay’s potential game-winning field goal heads wide left.
UNC wins
CLEVELAND — Jake Delhomme couldn’t bear to watch, so he listened. As John Kasay, his forBrowns 24 mer clutch Carolina teamPanthers 23 mate, sent a field goal sailing toward the uprights and another last-second win, Delhomme sat and waited for the crowd to tell him the outcome. The roar signaled victory. And relief. Kasay’s 42-yard field goal attempt grazed the left upright as time expired Sunday, allowing the Cleveland Browns to escape with a 2423 win over Carolina and giving Delhomme a little satisfaction against the team that cut him. “There are two emotions in this league,” Delhomme said. “Pure joy from winning and
the misery of losing. It’s good to be on this side.” Kasay, one of the most accurate kickers in NFL history, got the chance at his 14th career game-winner after rookie quarterback Jimmy Clausen drove the Panthers (1-9) to Cleveland’s 25, completing a sideline pass to Brandon LaFell with five seconds left. After the play was reviewed by officials, Kasay’s kick went left, ending another tight game for coach Eric Mangini and the Browns (4-7), who led 21-7 at the half. “I was the one who failed,” Kasay said, accepting blame for Carolina’s fourth straight loss. “This is one of those days where they did everything they needed to do to win. I was the one who let them down. There’s no other way

Hornets peak at right time

BY MIKE LONDON CHAPEL HILL — For a few minutes in the second half, AnUNC 74 d r e w C. of Charl. 69 Goudelock was doing everything he could to remind Roy Williams and North Carolina of their miserable time last season. Instead, the 25th-ranked Tar Heels seemed to focus on how to return to the lost transition attack that has long powered the Hall of Fame coach’s best teams. John Henson scored a career-high 19 points and ignited the decisive secHENSON ond-half run to help North Carolina beat College of Charleston 74-69 Sunday night, avenging last year’s overtime loss to the Cougars while showing some welcome signs of growth after a frustrating week. Henson also had seven rebounds and two blocked shots for the Tar Heels (4-2), who rallied from a five-point deficit midway through the second half. While Goudelock had another big game against his team, Williams sounded pleased overall with the way his players — particularly sophomore Dexter Strickland — defended the high-scoring guard. He also could see progress in the way his young team started getting out in transition after missed shots and turnovers in the second half, speeding up the tempo in a way they have struggled to do ever since Ty Lawson and Tyler Hansbrough left school after winning the NCAA championship two seasons ago. “I thought our team in the second half came together with more emotion, more enthusiasm,” said Williams, who won his 200th game at his alma mater. “I think they lost themselves in the game more than they have at any point this year, and I think that’s the way you grow and mature as a team.” It had been a rough few days for North Carolina leading up to Thanksgiving. The Tar Heels lost to Minnesota and Vanderbilt in consecutive games to close the Puerto Rico Tip-Off tournament, then returned home with a lethargic showing in which they blew most of a 22-point lead in the second half before holding on late to beat UNC Asheville 80-69. Then there was the matter of playing the team that beat

Riley Gallagher draped an arm around the shoulder of halfback Dominique Dismuke, and Hornets, both hurting and healthy, celebrated a 45-35 comeback win against Berry Academy in the third round of the 2AA state playoffs on Friday. Two serious concussions have sidelined Gallagher, a tight end and senior captain responsible for 16 touchdown catches over the past two seasons. Salisbury’s aerial game has vanished along with Gallagher. The past two weeks, the Hornets are 1-for-11 passing — for 15 yards. “Riley had a knack for getting open,” Salisbury coach Joe Pinyan explained quietly. “Our receivers haven’t been getting open, and when we’ve had chances to hit our backs, we didn’t make the throws.” While its passing game has stumbled, Salisbury (11-3), is far from helpless. The explosive running game, always good, has been great in the postseason. Salisbury’s rushing totals in the playoffs are 415, 449 and 370 yards. John Knox takes the snaps, but the triple-option magician runs the ball like a tailback. Romar Morris is probably as fast as anyone the county has ever seen.

Miracle in Mocksville Davie County defies logic and statistics BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com
MOCKSVILLE — Vultures were circling overhead as far back as Labor Day, but the coroner’s report still hasn’t been filed. The Davie County War Eagles, who finished the regular season bruised, abused, confused and with a 5-6 record, will play at least one football game in December. Davie, which has scored 46 fewer points than its opponents, is one win away from playing for the 4A state title. That’s not a misprint, just a mystery. To say there’s been a miracle in Mocksville isn’t overstating the situation. Asked for an explanation, quarterback Carson Herndon smiles.
“We just kinda got some confidence and got on a roll at the right time,” said the tall senior who has 2,188 passing yards. Thirty-two elite teams will play footHERNDON ball across the state this Friday. Twentythree of them have won at least 12 games. Of the eight clubs still standing in 4A and 4AA, Davie, now 8-6, has more losses than the other seven combined. Mitchell, a 14th-seeded 1AA Cinderella, is the only survivor with a lower seed than the No. 10 War Eagles and ties Davie for the worst record. But Mitchell has outscored

davie’s 28 seniors, including carson Herndon (12), are in the Western final. its opponents by more than 100 points. That makes Davie the longest of the longshots who have extended their seasons to this point. Based on stats, Davie’s uniforms should’ve been washed and folded weeks ago. Since it has averaged
fewer than 100 rushing yards per game against a schedule ranked the state’s 18th-toughest, Davie’s offense has been only slightly more productive than South Rowan’s.

Campbell’s jersey retired Staff report
Jack Campbell’s No. 33 Sacred Heart Dolphins jersey was retired in special ceremonies as the 6th annual Jack Campbell Classic was held Saturday night at the Boyd Dolphin Tank on Sacred Heart’s campus. Campbell, a basketball, baseball and soccer captain at Salisbury High and an Eagle Scout, was a product of Sacred Heart and remains a source of inspiration for many 51⁄2 years after he died of cancer. He was 19 when he died May 19, 2005, after an extended battle with the disease. Father John Putnam, Mike Thompson and former Dolphin coach and athletics director Tim Hennie spoke of Campbell’s faith, scholarship and love of sports and classmates. Campbell was the inaugural winner of the coveted Mike Thompson Award, given to Sacred Heart’s outstanding eighth-grader each year. The award, named for the longserving religion teacher at Sacred Heart, is based on academics, athletics and faith. Saturday’s event raised $746 for the scholarship given annually at Salisbury High to a senior scholar-athlete in Campbell’s name. The funds were presented to Jack’s mother Cam and his brother Will by longtime classmate and teammate Trey Wingerson. Many of Campbell’s former teammates sent regards, including Ben Betner, a Green Berets staff sergeant now serving in Afghanistan. Alumni soccer game The Sacred Heart alumni game featured 22 former players and family members. Coach Marcel Renn’s team tied principal Frank Cardelle’s team 4-4. Former students Annie, Bobby and Frankie Cardelle, Steve Bauk, Kevin Burges, Ryan Cor- M. WINGERSON nelison, Banks Fisher, Laney Gokey and Amber and Meredith Wingerson par-

aged 120 yards per game in the last month, has 988. Knox rushed for 134 yards in the first round against North Surry. Morris ran for a school-record tying 250 against Forest Hills in the second round. With Berry determined to take away Morris, Dismuke led the charge with 131 yards. The Hornets never enter a game planning for a single back to shoulder the load. Knox directs the option, reads the defense and takes what opponents choose to give him. Knox has 156 rushes this season. Morris has 151. Dismuke has 140. “Their carries are usually going to be pretty close, but that’s not by design,” Pinyan said. “The reason we have three guys with a chance for 1,000 yards is none of them have been concerned about their individual numbers. The only thing they’ve cared about is how many yards we rush for as a team.” It’s time to mention the offensive line. There are big guys in the group, but no big names. Tackles Marqui Ross and Terrance McElrath, center Zakelo Duren and guards Parker McKeithan and Montana Harmon are getting it done. The only senior is Ross, who’s in his first year at a new position. Former Catawba standout Daniel Yow has molded the new-look line, with help from former North Rowan lineman Will Robinson. “You have to give Daniel and Will credit for doing a great job of piecemealing that group together,” Pinyan said. “We’ve moved a few guys over from defense to help them out a little bit, but they’ve done all the work.” Split end John Jarrett has

Still, Salisbury coach Joe Pinyan, still alive in 2AA, isn’t shocked to see Davie creeping across the 4A bracket. He lost to Davie 19-14 on Sept. 24. “What Davie’s done is no surprise to our camp,” Pinyan said. “We thought all along they were good, and now they’re making us look good. Tell coach (Doug) Illing we appreciate it.” Never has any team had better reasons to fold than Davie had after it was throttled 51-28 by CPC rival North Davidson in the regular-season finale. Linebacker Jared Barber, heart and soul of the defense, was declared done for the year with a torn knee ligament, and Herndon exited a painful senior jon c. lakey/SALISBURY POST night with a concussion. Davie QB Carson Herndon (12) rebounded from a 40-0 loss When the playoff pairings were announced using the new pod system, to West Rowan and is now one step from the 4A title game.

Brian Bauk (12) did a good job at fullback against Berry. Here, he breaks away from Cardinal DB Raphael Leak (26). Gallagher’s absence has forced adjustments. Keion Adams, a sophomore fullback, has overcome a shoulder injury and has replaced Gallagher at tight end. That’s left fullback chores in the hands of two more sophs — Brian Bauk and Justin Ruffin. Ruffin accounted for 82 yards in the first two playoff games. Bauk, who quarterbacked the jayvees to the CCC championship, had nine carries for 53 yards on Friday. And with zero pass completions, Salisbury needed Bauk’s yards to earn its eighth straight victory. Salisbury plays Shelby at home on Friday. The Horwayne hinshaw/SALISBURY POST nets beat the Golden Lions Kavari Hillie, one of the stars 34-26 in the second round of the 2009 playoffs. of Friday’s win, celebrates. “It’s going to be hard to beat Shelby if we can’t make only five catches, but he’s a few plays in the passing such a tough blocker, he’s game,” Pinyan said. “It’s like an extra lineman. something we’ll work on.”
Davie appeared to have gotten the worst draw possible, a rematch with North Davidson. Only this time it would be at North Davidson. Illing said the pod system stank. Visions of a 50-0 nightmare ILLING danced in many heads. Maybe 2 percent of the world believed Davie could win in Welcome. Maybe 1 percent believed when Davie trailed 10-0 at halftime. But Davie outscored the Black Knights 35-0 in the second half. Herndon hit Joe Watson, his favorite target, with a go-ahead touchdown pass. “What happened is we have 28 seniors,” Herndon said. “We decided at halftime it wasn’t time to hang it up.” CPC champion Mount Tabor was next. Mount Tabor had lost once — to Butler. Mount Tabor had annihilated Davie 34-0 on Oct. 22. Davie hadn’t beaten the Spartans since 2000. Computer power ratings had Davie losing 32-14. Seriously out-rushed and out-passed, Davie won 30-29 in over-
time, mostly because of a 4-0 edge in the all-important turnover battle. “Mount Tabor killed us in the regular season, so we owed them one,” Herndon said. “Credit our coaches. When we’ve already played someone, we know exactly what to do the second time. We know what works.” Facing fellow upstart High Point Central last Friday, Davie was given a 50/50 chance. It beat the Bison 18-15. “High Point Central had a great offense, but we kept them off the field and let our defense stay fresh,” Herndon said. “We kept the ball. We had one drive that lasted 20 plays and 10 minutes. That was the key to the game.” Porter Ridge, a team computers say is even stronger than West Rowan, is next. Davie has to be the last team PR coach Blair Hardin ever dreamed he’d see, but one thing we’ve learned — Davie will show up in Indian Trail. “Davie’s a whole lot like Shelby (Salisbury’s next foe),” Pinyan said. “They don’t dodge anyone on their non-conference schedule. They’ve been challenged every single week, and this is the time of year that pays off.”

SPORTS DIGEST
Boise’s dream over BY TIM DAHLBERG Associated Press RENO, Nev. — For two years, Boise State won every time it took the field. The Broncos had to, if they wanted to be considered a serious team that could one day possibly compete for the BCS title. When the inevitable loss came, it hurt in more ways than the Broncos could count. No national title game. No BCS bowl. No grudging respect from the big boys in the big conferences. “I’m at a loss for words,” said quarterback Kellen Moore, who suffered only his second loss in 38 games as Boise State’s quarterback. “Hopefully we’ll learn something from this.” • The first thing the Broncos will learn is that things aren’t fair when you’re on the outside looking in. But Boise State already knew that even if they ran the table with a second straight undefeated season. Nevada made sure that wouldn’t happen, thanks to a huge second half on the ground and two missed kicks by a normally reliable kicker. “It’s one of those games that usually we have been
fortunate to pull some things out and this time we just couldn’t do it,” Boise State coach Chris Petersen said. Nevada roared back from a 17-point halftime deficit Friday night, beating No. 3 Boise State 34-31 in overtime in a wild game for the school’s biggest win ever. The win snapped Boise State’s winning streak and ended any hopes the Broncos would play in the BCS title game. “It is the greatest victory this university has ever had, I can tell you that,” Nevada coach Chris Ault said. “The way it happened is just an unbelievable feeling.” • Boise State’s faithful can only wonder what might have been as any hopes of a national title game or even a BCS bowl bid evaporated, when a kicker who had only missed three times all year whiffed on two short field goals. Suddenly, the annual BCS debate got a lot easier. Had things gone right for the Broncos on what will always be known in Idaho as Black Friday, they might have been making travel plans for Jan. 10 in Arizona or perhaps the Rose Bowl on New Year’s Day. Instead, their 24-game winning streak is over, their reputa-
tion has taken a hit, and the consolation bowl they’re headed for has none of the glamor of the ones the big schools play in. And Petersen still isn’t acknowledging what might have been. “We still have another game next week,” said Petersen, whose 10-1 Broncos will face Utah State. “We said all along, at the end of the season we will see where we are and go from there.” For the better part of three quarters Friday night it looked like Boise State would go places that small schools aren’t supposed to go in the BCS system. Up 24-7 at half, the Broncos were playing with the cool efficiency that made them the darling of BCS busters everywhere and seemed headed for their 25th straight win. Then Nevada’s vaunted ground game started grinding out the yards against a defense that was No. 1 in the nation against the run. The Wolf Pack ran at will. Nevada rallied to tie the game not once, but twice, before the Broncos struck with a long pass with just 2 seconds left to set up what appeared to be a winning field goal from 26 yards. Senior kicker Kyle Brotz-

And a freshman kicker from a local high school, Anthony Martinez, calmly kicked a 34-yarder through the uprights, and the celebration was on. Few had expected a team that had dropped 10 straight to Boise State and came into the game a 14-point underdog would upset one of the top teams in the country. But the Wolf Pack did. Missed field goals aside, this was no fluke.
• In the space of one bad half, the Broncos most likely lost out on playing in any BCS game. On the verge of playing in a big game with a win, they will likely be relegated to the Humanitarian Bowl, played on their own blue field in Boise, or the Fight Hunger Bowl in San Francisco. That hardly seems fair, considering an unranked Connecticut team with four losses has the inside track to a big BCS bowl game worth millions to the school and the Big East Conference. But
the BCS is not about being fair, and teams in conferences like the WAC have to take their victories when they can. But it’s good news for TCU, which was at risk of being nudged out of an automatic BCS bid by Boise State even as it completed an unbeaten season on Saturday by beating lowly Mountain West Conference rival New Mexico. “We have a lot of respect for TCU,” Petersen said. “I hope they win the rest of their games and go as far as they possibly can.”
Miami fires Shannon after overtime loss Associated Press
AssOciAted PRess
CORAL GABLES, Fla. — Miami offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland has accepted an offer to be the Hurricanes’ interim coach, taking over less than one day after the university fired Randy Shannon, according to a person familiar with the situation. Stoutland was holding early strategy sessions with other assistants, all of whom may stay through Miami’s bowl game. The university listed Stoutland’s new title on its athletic web site Sunday morning. Shannon was fired Saturday night by athletic director Kirby Hocutt after the Hurricanes completed a 7-5

RANDY SHANNON regular season. Stoutland and Hocutt were to meet with the team Sunday morning as well. Shannon received a fouryear extension just before
the start of the 2010 season. He was 28-22 in four seasons at Miami, with Stoutland as his offensive line coach throughout that tenure. Since the start of the 2007 season, 47 teams have more wins than Miami — including four from the state of Florida. The Hurricanes were 1616 in the ACC under Shannon, the sixth-best mark in the 12-team league. And barring some wild turn of events, Miami will finish out of The Associated Press Top 25 poll for the fourth time in five years. ALASKA SHOOTOUT ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Trailing by double digits against Arizona State on Saturday night, St. John’s went
small and fast. Red Storm coach Steve Lavin started what he called his diminutive five-guard lineup in the second half to speed up the game and St. John’s forced 11 turnovers to defeat the Sun Devils 6758 and capture the championship of the Great Alaska Shootout. St. John’s shot just 26 percent in the opening period. Ty Abbott’s third and fourth 3pointers gave the Sun Devils (3-2) a 12-point lead, 23-11, with 4:44 remaining. St. John’s cut it to 10, 30-20, at halftime. With Arizona State leading with six minutes remaining, Paris Horne tipped in a missed free throw. St. John’s closed with a 21-7 run. Justin Brownlee led St. John’s with 20 points.
Jake delhomme quarterbacked cleveland to victory on sunday despite throwing two picks early in the second half.
PANTHERS FROM 1B to cut it.” Cleveland workhorse Peyton Hillis rushed for 131 yards and three touchdowns, and Delhomme passed for 245 yards in his first start at home for the Browns, who signed him in March after he was released by Carolina. Before Kasay missed, the Browns were in danger of adding an embarrassing loss to a string of tough setbacks. Last week, they went down in Jacksonville despite forcing six turnovers and losing rookie quarterback Colt McCoy with an ankle injury. This time, the Browns got lucky and improved to 2-5 in games decided by seven points or less. “It was an incredible range of emotions,” Browns tackle Joe Thomas said. “The craziest game I have ever been involved in.” The win also got a rusty Delhomme, who had missed eight games with an ankle injury, off the hook after he threw a costly interception in the second half that Carolina’s Captain Munnerlyn returned 37 yards for a TD to pull the Panthers within 21-20. Kasay’s 43-yarder put Carolina ahead with 7:01 left. Delhomme bounced back from two interceptions — on his first two passes — in the second half by going 5-for-5 on Cleveland’s drive in the fourth that set up Phil Dawson’s 41-yard field goal. Holder Reggie Hodges did a nice job controlling a high snap before Dawson’s kick made it 24-23 with 2:42 left. Clausen tried to respond, but threw an interception directly to rookie cornerback Joe Haden with under two
minutes left. The Panthers appeared to be done, but used their timeouts wisely and got the ball back at their 5 with 59 seconds left. On third-and-10, Clausen completed a pass to running back Mike Goodson, who broke several shoddy tackles for 32 yards. After spiking the ball, Clausen, who sat out last week with a concussion, found LaFell near the Panthers’ sideline. LaFell alertly rolled out of bounds to stop the clock, but the Panthers had to sweat out a review in case the officials determined time should have expired. Kasay trotted out for the game-winner, and as he did, Dawson believed the Browns were doomed. “I didn’t have a good feeling,” Dawson said. “My only hope was good old Cleveland Browns Stadium. There are no gimmes here. I expected it to go through. I was hoping for a block, because I figured if the ball clears the line of scrimmage, it’s going through.” It didn’t. Carolina has 10 losses for the first time in Fox’s nine seasons, and the latest put his job in further peril. Hillis had TD runs of 9, 5 and 6 yards in the first half. He has 11 rushing TDs, joining Hall of Famers Jim Brown and Leroy Kelly as the only Cleveland backs to have that many in one season. Hillis scoffed at a suggestion he’s in their company. “That’s absurd,” he said. “Those guys are legends and I’m a nobody.” Browns fans strongly disagree. The down-home, Arkansas country boy has become a cult figure in Cleveland, which wasn’t sure what it was getting when the Browns traded QB Brady Quinn for him.
Federer drills Nadal
BC batters Golden Bears Associated Press
Associated Press
LONDON — Roger Federer turned his high-profile, season-ending match against Rafael Nadal into little more than an exhbition. Federer gave his rival little chance to mount a challenge in the 22nd meeting between two of the greatest players of all FEDERER time, winning his fifth season-ending title 6-3, 3-6, 6-1 at the ATP World Tour Finals on Sunday. Federer won 92 percent of the points played on his first serve in the final, and lost only 13 points on serve in the entire match. “I was able to stay offensive. Rallies were never that long,” said Federer, who has won the season-ending tournament in Houston, Shanghai and London. “That kind of maybe frustrated him.”

RAFAEL NADAL Nadal, the top-ranked Spaniard who won the French Open, Wimbledon and the U.S. Open this year, was able to break Federer once in the second set, but he appeared to tire as the match wore on. On Saturday, Nadal spent more then three hours and three sets beating Andy Murray to reach the final of the tournament for the first time in his career. “I know I didn’t spoil his vacation after this because he’s had an amazing year,” Federer said. “A year that any player dreams of.” The win cut Nadal’s career record to 14-8 against the second-ranked Swiss player. In Grand Slam finals, Nadal is 5-2 against Federer, but Federer has now beaten Nadal all three times they have faced each other in the final tournament of the season.

I think you get stronger through the course of your program if the kids can figure it out themselves.” Henson banked in a shot in the lane to put the Tar Heels ahead for good with about 71⁄2 minutes left.

Magazine subs make good gifts
Some kind of exotic trip that you’ve always wanted to take to a faraway place could actually become a possibility in the next year. However, you’ll need to take that opportunity seriously when it arises in order to make it a reality. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Don’t optimistically take bows prematurely for something you have yet to accomplish. If things don’t work out as you anticipate, things could get quite embarrassing. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Unless you follow though on your goal in an orderly manner, there is a strong chance that you will leave out some kind of small but essential element. Don't gum up the works. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Keep your good intentions under wraps and don’t volunteer to manage the complicated affairs of another. If you involve yourself, it could cost you both money and a huge headache. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — Even if your ideas or suggestions are far superior to those of your peers, and you know it, they’re not likely to be heeded if you offer a weak presentation. Speak strongly and mean it. Aries (March 21-April 19) — You’re in for a big surprise if you think that others will come behind you and finish the work you’ve left undone. Your charm can get you a lot of things, but it can’t do your job for you. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — It isn’t likely to be anything you’ve done that makes people so unfriendly; it’s just the mood of the day. Don’t compound it by turning your nose up at the jerks. Live and let live. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — If the position you hold is in the minority, consider the fact that maybe you're a bit too far out for most. If you want to get along with people, you’d be smart to accept their views. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — When it comes to a topic others are discussing that affects you, try to hear what is really being said instead of what you want to hear. They may have some pearls of wisdom to offer. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — If, in order to gratify a momentary desire of yours, you ignore your budget and spend money that you know you shouldn’t, you’ll be sorry later when you won’t be able to pay for something you really need. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — If you let your normal awareness for detail and order desert you, it’s likely that you will allow your judgment calls or important decisions to be based on faulty premises. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Guard against an inclination to make huge jobs out of what are in reality little ones. If you are illogical or unmethodical, you will greatly complicate your life and make yourself miserable. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — That intense nature of yours won’t give you much room to be tolerant with pompous or arrogant individuals. Avoid gatherings where you know just such types will be in attendance. United FeatUre Syndicate

Alternative causes for bedwetting

There is little better for the bridge fanatic on your gift list than a magazine subscription. And if she or he does not already belong, start with membership in the American Contract Bridge League. This includes a monthly Bulletin, which contains instructive articles aimed at all levels of player, as well as news about the game. Today’s deal comes from one of Eddie Kantar’s articles. You are East, trying to defeat a contract of four hearts. West leads the spade ace (ace from ace-king). How would you plan the defense? In the magazine, Kantar has South responding three hearts, which I prefer to be a splinter bid (a big fit for diamonds with at least gameforcing values and a singleton or void in hearts). However, discuss this with your partner. One time, my partner opened one club, I responded three spades with 1-3-3-6 distribution, and he passed. He also had a singleton spade! I tried hard to make my contract but eventually ran out of trumps. Six clubs was cold. Did you play the spade two at the first trick? If so, you

probably killed the defense. Partner would be highly likely to shift to a club, which would be the right defense if you had the club king instead of the heart queen. Since you can “see” four winners (two spades and two hearts), protect partner — play the spade 10 at trick one, feigning a doubleton. Partner will cash his king and lead a third round. He will be surprised when you don’t ruff, but his disappointment will be short-lived. Details are at www.acbl.org. United FeatUre Syndicate
Dear Dr. Gott: In a recent article about a 12year-old boy wetting the bed, you addressed the physical reasons but failed to pick up on other issues. Although you did mention sexual abuse, you did not take into consideration that this young boy could be a victim of bullying or harassment at school, in the neighborhood or other outlying scenarios. If the DR. PETER parents are GOTT not aware of such circumstances, the boy may be afraid to mention the situation, thus keeping his feelings in until they manifest themselves in the bedwetting problem. Dear Dr. Gott: Your bedwetting article drew my attention. One of the first things that I would recommend these parents investigate would be some kind of emotional trauma — bullying or sexual or physical abuse. An emotional event could likely trigger this kind of response. Dear Dr. Gott: Another possible cause of sudden onset bedwetting is molestation. I wet my bed until I was 16 because I was being molested by an older brother. When I was
wet, he wouldn’t come to my bed at night. He used blackmail to keep me quiet. We were battered by our stepmother, so I could not go to her for help. I eventually got professional counseling. Now 62, I have been happily married for 41 years and have four grandchildren. Dear Readers: It appears that I was remiss when suggesting causes of suddenonset bedwetting. I apologize. Physical, sexual or emotional abuse are all valid causes for bedwetting. Problems can arise especially in children who do not seek help in resolving the situation (owing to fear or embarrassment) or feel they have no one to turn to. If any of these is the cause, counseling or therapy are good places to start. Children may feel more comfortable without parents or guardians in the room during the sessions; however, it may be beneficial for the family to undergo therapy together, as well, especially in the case of molestation, so that the whole family can learn how to cope with the issue and develop tools to deal effectively with all the aftereffects that this type of abuse can cause. Dear Dr. Gott: When I was a young mother, my 5-yearold started having trouble with bedwetting. At that time, there was a television program called “FYI” (For Your Information). The
spokesperson basically said that it may be because he or she is allergic to milk. If he is eating ice cream or any dairy product as part of the last meal of the day, he may be asleep when the reaction occurs and that is when he can’t control it. Well, I tried it and it did make a difference right away for us. I told my son that he wasn’t a “bad boy” and that his bedwetting was because of something he couldn’t control. We had no more problems as long as his last meal of the day had no dairy products in it. I should probably mention that when he was a baby, he couldn’t tolerate most formulas and projectile vomited after each feeding with them. I eventually switched him to a soy-based formula, and he
got better. I hope this helps other young mothers out there. Dear Reader: This is a new one for me, so I have printed your letter in the hopes that it can help others as it seems to have helped you and your son. Thanks for sharing! Dr. Peter H. Gott is a retired physician and the author of several books, including “Live Longer, Live Better,” “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Diet” and “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Cookbook,” which are available at most bookstores or online.

SALISBURY POST

Introducing
Gulf Coast hopes for post-spill boom from Northern retirees ORANGE BEACH, Ala. (AP) — For all the oil spill claims and cleanup work by BP, retirees from the North may be the best survival bet for some Gulf Coast resort towns this winter. After a disastrous summer tourism season and a slowerthan-normal fall, Northern and Midwestern visitors known as “snowbirds” already are flocking along the Gulf for the winter, filling up condominium parking lots and campgrounds with cars and RVs from states like Wisconsin, Michigan and Indiana. This annual migration of the AARP set is worth millions to the coastal economy and typically serves a financial bridge for tourist-dependent condominiums, restaurants and stores between the holidays and the start of spring break season, when business picks up again. This year, snowbirds are critical for the companies and property owners who have suffered for months because of the BP oil spill. Without the snowbirds, some businesses teetering on the edge of solvency may not make it until the weather warms up again. “You take that away when they didn’t have anything to start with and you start a whole new tier of desperation,” said Tony Kennon, mayor of this beach town on the Alabama-Florida state line. The local tourism agency is advertising in the Midwest, inviting snowbirds to return to the coast. Winter rates always are far less than summer prices, with many condominium owners renting out their units to Northern visitors for months at a time. Some condominiums and motels are offering even lower prices than normal this year, with prices reduced by twothirds at a few. At the Gulf Breeze RV Resort in neighboring Gulf Shores, workers didn’t know whether snowbirds would be scared off by images of oil hitting beaches during the summer. Would they go elsewhere this year, perhaps to the East

Beach walkers watch the sunset in orange Beach, ala. Coast or further south into Central Florida? Julie Kenney, who works at the RV park, was relieved to see campers from the Midwest begin arriving earlier than normal in late October. The resort’s 250 sites are now about 80 percent full, and it’s completely booked after Jan. 1. “It would be really difficult if they don’t come,” said Kenney. “A lot of the snowbirds will travel over to Pensacola (Fla.) to go shopping, so it really helps the whole coast.” Retirees Mark and Diane Schnabel of Linton, Ind., were worried about the oil spill as they planned their trip to the coast earlier this year, but they came anyway. Now, they’re glad they did — the beaches are virtually oil-free, the seafood is tasty and a dry fall has made for mild, sunny days. “We were very concerned about it, but we never thought of not coming,” said Diane, relaxing on the beach with her husband. “We already have plans to come next year.” Ron Sandefer researched beach conditions before making the annual trek to the coast with his wife Linda from their home in Paducah, Ky. “We come here every November and I checked the websites for oil reports and looked at a lot of websites with live cam displays, and we decided it would be just fine,” said Sandefer. “I figured it there was a problem somewhere, we could easily find a nice spot. It just didn’t look that bad, and it isn’t.”
Snowbirds are big business in Florida Panhandle communities like Panama City and Destin, where there was little impact from the oil spill. They matter even more in places that were affected by the oil like Perdido Key, Fla., and Alabama, which have a high concentration of condominiums and a reputation for lower prices. “Those people tend to look more for bargain-basement deals, and those are more likely in areas with lots of condos,” said Fred Simmons, a real estate agent and property manager in Pensacola Beach, Fla. Mike Foster of the Alabama Gulf Coast Convention and Visitors Bureau said reservations appear to be on track with past falls and winters, despite the lingering fallout from the oil spill. “We’re feeling optimistic about it,” he said. “I think the real test will come at spring break. I think at that time we’ll see what kind of memory there is of the oil, be able to see what the perception is of the beach.” Rick and Jean Neal have been coming to the Alabama coast for four or five years from their home in Linwood, Mich. This year, they have a corner condominium overlooking a beach dotted with heavy machinery. The oil spill was a worry, they said, and the cleaning machines are loud at times. But the Gulf water is still sparkling, and the weather is so much warmer than in Michigan.

Fisticuffs in Texas Associated Press
HOUSTON — Andre Johnson finally had enough from Cortland Finnegan, sparking a fistfight that led to both players being ejected and could end up in further discipline from the NFL. The Texans snapped a four-game losing streak while Johnson and Finnegan were ejected for their fight in the fourth quarter of a 20-0 Houston win over Tennessee on Sunday. Arian Foster rushed for 143 yards and caught nine passes for the Texans (5-6), who posted their first shutout since 2004. Midway through the fourth quarter, Finnegan set it off by pushing up Johnson’s face mask at the line of scrimmage. Johnson ripped off Finnegan’s helmet and landed at least two punches to Finnegan’s head and neck. Finnegan tore off Johnson’s helmet before players and referees intervened. The game was halted for more than five minutes as officials sorted out the chaos. Johnson received a standing ovation as security guards escorted him off the field. Finnegan taunted booing fans as he exited out the opposite tunnel. The incident came at the end of a tumultuous week for the Titans (5-6), who’ve lost four in a row. Falcons 20, Packers 17 ATLANTA — Matt Bryant kicked a 47-yard field goal with 9 seconds remaining to give the NFC-leading Falcons their fifth straight win. The Falcons (9-2) have their longest winning streak since 1998 and assured themselves of a third straight winning season. Of course, they have much higher aspirations sitting atop the conference standings with five weeks to go. Aaron Rodgers guided Green Bay (7-4) on a 90-yard drive to tie the game with 56 seconds remaining. He converted a pair of fourth-down passes, including a 10-yard touchdown pass to Jordy Nelson that made it 17-all. But Eric Weems broke loose on the kickoff return and was dragged down by Matt Wilhelm with a flagrant facemask tackle. The Falcons took over at the Green Bay 49, Matt Ryan completed four straight short passes and Bryant made the winning kick. Steelers 19, Bills 16 OT ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Shaun Suisham kicked a 41-yard field goal with 2:14 left in overtime to lift the Steelers. Buffalo (2-9) blew an opportunity to win it with 10:30 left in overtime. Wide receiver Stevie Johnson got in behind the Steelers secondary but dropped a 40-yard pass on the run, while he was 2 yards into the end zone. The Bills overcame a 13-point firsthalf deficit and forced overtime with 2 seconds left in regulation when Rian Lindell hit a 49-yard field goal. Rashard Mendenhall had 151 yards rushing and scored a 1-yard touchdown, while Suisham hit all four fieldgoal attempts, including a 48-yarder in a game the Steelers (8-3) never trailed. The decisive field goal capped a 13-play, 58-yard drive in a game both teams had chances to win. Vikings 17, Redskins 13 LANDOVER, Md. — Brett Favre was perfect on two scoring drives, and Minnesota won Leslie Frazier’s NFL head coaching debut despite Adrian Peterson’s early injury. Favre went 3 for 3 on the Vikings’ opening possession, which ended with Peterson’s 5-yard touchdown run. The 41-year-old quarterback was 5 for 5 on the first drive of the second half, capped by a 5-yard TD from rookie Toby Gerhart, who took over after Peterson left in the second quarter with a bad right ankle. Favre scrambled for a first down on third-and-8 right before the twominute warning, then hugged several teammates. Minnesota (4-7) ended its nine-game road losing streak, less than a week after firing coach Brad Childress and promoting Frazier. Giants 24, Jaguars 20 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Eli Manning threw a 32-yard touchdown pass to Kevin Boss with 3:15 to play and the Giants rallied to snap a twogame losing streak and end the Jaguars’ three-game winning streak. Manning also threw a 26-yard touchdown pass to Mario Manningham, Lawrence Tynes kicked three field goals and the defense came up with three consecutive sacks and a
late turnover with 1:25 to go as the Giants (7-4) rallied from an 11-point halftime deficit. Dolphins 33, Raiders 17 OAKLAND, Calif. — Chad Henne returned from a benching and injury to throw for 307 yards and two scores, and Dan Carpenter kicked four field goals for Miami. Davone Bess had 111 yards receiving in his first game as a pro in his hometown, and Ricky Williams ran for 95 yards and a score for the Dolphins (6-5), who won for the fifth time in six road games to keep their playoff hopes alive. The Raiders (5-6) returned home following a 35-3 beating in Pittsburgh and put together another dud. Fan favorite Bruce Gradkowski got the nod ahead of Jason Campbell at quarterback, but threw two interceptions. Bears 31, Eagles 26 CHICAGO — Jay Cutler tied a career high with four touchdown passes and Chicago took sole possession of first place in the NFC North. The win was the Bears (8-3) fourth straight and put them a game ahead of Green Bay. Michael Vick threw for 333 yards and two touchdowns. But he also threw his first interception of the year when he got picked off by Chris Harris in the end zone late in the first half, stopping a potential go-ahead drive. Chiefs 42, Seahawks 24 SEATTLE — Matt Cassel threw three touchdown passes to Dwayne Bowe, Jamaal Charles rushed for 173 yards and Kansas City remained atop the AFC West. Facing Pete Carroll, his former coach at Southern California, Cassel threw for 233 yards and four touchdowns. Bowe extended his streak of games with at least one touchdown reception to seven straight. The pair connected on TDs of 7, 36 and 9 yards for Kansas City (7-4). Charles added a 3-yard TD run on the first play of the fourth quarter. Backup defensive tackle Shaun Smith had a 1-yard TD plunge in the first half. Ravens 17, Buccaneers 10 BALTIMORE — Joe Flacco threw two touchdown passes, and Baltimore won a franchise record-tying eighth straight game at home. Flacco connected with Todd Heap for a 65-yard score and hit Derrick Mason for a 10-yard touchdown during a three-minute span of the second quarter to stake Baltimore to a 17-3 halftime lead. Flacco now has 53 career TD passes, surpassing Vinny Testaverde (51) for most in Ravens history. Flacco completed 25 of 35 passes for 289 yards. Rams 36, Broncos 33 DENVER — Rookie Sam Bradford threw for three touchdowns and had his first 300-yard game as St. Louis escaped with a rare road win, which came just over a day after the NFL fined the Broncos and their coach for a videotaping scandal. There was more than a smattering of boos when Broncos embattled coach Josh McDaniels was introduced before the game. There were also signs in the crowd calling for his firing following the latest embarrassment that also resulted in the firing of the video operations director who broke NFL rules by taping a San Francisco practice in London last month. The Rams had a seemingly safe 3313 lead heading into the fourth quarter, but the Broncos (3-8) pulled within three points on Brandon Lloyd’s TD catch from Kyle Orton with 2:35 remaining. Bradford was 22 of 37 for 308 yards, three TDs and no interceptions in his first road win as a pro. Chargers 36, Colts 14 INDIANAPOLIS — San Diego’s defense picked off four-time league MVP Peyton Manning four times, returning two for scores, as they handed Indianapolis its most lopsided home loss in the Manning era on Sunday night. The last time the Colts lost by this much at home was Sept. 14, 1997, when Seattle won 31-3. Manning finished 31 of 48 for 285 yards with two TDs and has thrown seven interceptions in the last two weeks — the most over any two week span in his 13-year NFL career. Pro Bowl receiver Reggie Wayne walked off the field after getting hurt with 2:45 to go, and the Colts finished with only 24 yards rushing.
