atthew Weaver fans, rejoice! Weaver’s first CD in four years is being released this week, and he will sign copies beginning at 5 p.m. Friday at the Literary Bookpost. But you know what? That’s not the really big news. The really big news is that Weaver will make his debut later this winter at the Grand Ol’ Opry. Anybody who knows Weaver, 38, knows that this is his longtime dream. It’s even more amazing when you consider that Weaver, music director at Sacred Heart Catholic Church for the last decade, has never read music. Just give him the melody and he’ll take it from there, thank you. How does he do it? It’s a Godgiven talent. Weaver plays some 19 instruments including the piano and organ. His second piano CD — the ninth overall recording he’s released — is titled “88 Keys, 10 Fingers, No Problem.” It’s a collection of 16 songs including everything from “Puff the Magic Dragon” to “Tennessee Waltz” to “You Are My Sunshine.” The CD is priced at $10. “I believe in giving people their money’s worth,” Weaver says. It was recorded in the Robert F. Gilley Recording Studio at Hayes School of Music on the campus of Appalachian State University, on a Steinway concert grand piano.

“I was really in hog heaven,” Weaver admits. “I wanted to throw it on top of my Toyota and bring it home.” The CD took about three hours to record, with very few retakes. “It’s a very nice, state-of-the art facility,” Weaver says of the Gilley studio. Appalachian is where Weaver is attaining another longtime dream of getting a college degree.

Future of web video at heart of corporate deal WASHINGTON (AP) — It won’t be long before video from the Internet is always within reach — whether it’s on a smart phone, a tablet computer or a high-end television in your living room. But what if there’s nothing worth watching? Just as the online video market is starting to take shape, federal regulators have a rare opportunity to help protect its future as they scrutinize Comcast Corp.’s proposal to take over NBC Universal. Regulators are pushing for tough conditions to ensure that Comcast can’t stifle online video services by withholding content or pushing up prices for marquee NBC programs at a time viewers are

starting to turn to the Internet for recent movies or the latest episodes of “Saturday Night Live,” “30 Rock” and other popular TV shows. The concessions they extract from Comcast in its bid for NBC will help determine whether customers can someday realistically drop their cable subscriptions and go online-only for their TV. So far, established media companies, including broadcasters and cable providers, are moving online with caution, fearful that the Internet could jeopardize business models they have relied on for decades. They have kept many television shows and movies off the Web, and built barriers around what’s available online, restricting who Today’s forecast 34º/16º Partly cloudy, cold

can watch it and where. Comcast has been resisting federal regulators’ efforts to tear down some of those walls, arguing that those efforts are unnecessary because NBC Universal accounts for about 10 percent of television viewing in the U.S. and less than 10 percent of U.S. box office revenue — and is therefore too small to dictate how the industry will develop. But the two sides are close to an agreement, which could pave the way for the Federal Communications Commission and the Justice Department to approve the deal as early as this week.

Salisbury Police are treating the discovery of a man’s body in a City Park creek Sunday morning as a “suspicious death.” Police Chief Rory Collins said it was not clear what happened to the man identified by family and friends Sunday afternoon as Richard Reeder of Salisbury. Police did not release the man’s name and took the official position that he had yet to be identified. Family members were not able to positively identify the man’s face in a photograph, Collins cautioned. Collins said the death is being considered suspicious because “there are many unanswered questions.” “We are hopeful that the results from an autopsy will help connect some of the pieces of this puzzle so that we will know, for sure, what we are dealing with,” Collins said. “We also anticipate utilizing latent prints and other possible scientific means to try to identify the victim in this case.” Earl Sarvey of Kannapolis, an uncle by marriage, confirmed Reeder’s identity Sunday afternoon as he spoke with others not far from the creek. Police said the victim is a white male who appeared to have a wound on his head. He was described as being in his late 30s to early 40s, about 5 feet, 11 inches tall and approximately 160 pounds. When found, he was wearing a white shirt with blue horizontal stripes, blue jeans and white tennis shoes. He had dark brown hair and a goatee. Also near the body was a black coat that may have possibly belonged to the victim, police said. A church bus driver, stopping to pick up children along North Jackson Street for Sunday services, noticed the body lying partially submerged in the shallow water on the far eastern end of the park. The discovery — near the 900 block of North Jackson Street and Lake Drive — was made about 9:30 a.m. according to Acting Sgt. J.M. Robertson of the Salisbury Police Department. The Rowan County Rescue Squad assisted in removing the body. Those gathering on the North Jackson Street sidewalk Sunday afternoon, including Reeder’s stepfather, suggested that foul play had to be involved. They said Reeder did not have his wallet, a cell phone or shoes — though police reported his having the white tennis shoes. His leather jacket was off and located at a drainage pipe several feet from where the body was located, the men said. Police took a 2-by-4 board found near the body, but people gathered near the scene said it was “all speculation” as to whether the board was involved somehow in Reeder’s death. But they were adamant it was sus-

Payroll tax cut worries Social Security advocates WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama’s plan to cut payroll taxes for a year would provide big savings for many workers, but makes Social Security advocates nervous that it could jeopardize the retirement program’s finances. The plan is part of a package of tax cuts and extended unemployment benefits that Obama negotiated with Senate Republican leaders. It would cut workers’ share of Social Security taxes by nearly one-third for 2011. Workers making $50,000 in wages would get a $1,000 tax cut; those making $100,000 would get a $2,000 tax cut. The government would borrow about $112 billion to

make Social Security whole. Advocates and some lawmakers worry that relying on borrowed money to fund Social Security could eventually force it to compete with other federal programs for scarce dollars, leading to cuts. Social Security taxes “ought to be held sacrosanct,” said Rep. Earl Pomeroy, D-N.D., chairman of the House Ways and Means subcommittee on Social Security. “When you start to signal that the (Social Security) tax levels are negotiable, you end up in long-term trouble, I think, in terms of making ab-

Question: I have heard about spinal decompression therapy, can you explain what that is? Answer: Spinal decompression therapy is a non-surgical therapy to relieve back pain and other problems associated with spinal disc injuries. It relieves nerve compression often associated with low back pain and sciatica through the use of a decompression table. You are strapped to the table so that when it moves, it applies a distraction force to the targeted area of the spine (the compressed disc). A computer conESTER trols the distraction MARSH force, which is applied in between periods of relaxation. This gently pulls the spine apart, making it longer and creating a small vacuum between the vertebrae which pulls the disc back into shape. Treatments are, in most cases, painless, and some individuals get immediate relief from their pain once decompression takes place. In addition to traction, it is important that you follow the specific home exercises prescribed by your doctor or physical therapist to minimize the stresses on the disc and start an appropriate strengthening and stabilization program when prescribed. Spinal decompression therapy came around 1987 when Dr. Allen Dyer invented a treatment table called the VAX-D to treat low-back pain. It did not become available in the U.S. until 1996, when it was approved by the

FDA. In 2000, a new and greatly improved version of decompression therapy which could target all areas of the spine, including the neck, became available with studies showing great success. Each session lasts 30-45 minutes, with most cases 4-6 weeks in duration. This therapy is promoting the diffusion of water, oxygen and nutrients from the outside of the discs to the inside of the discs. Non-surgical decompression therapy seems to be very effective at treating bulging discs, herniated discs, pinched nerves, sciatica, radiating arm pain, degenerative disc disease and leg pain, just to name a few. Certain people are not candidates for this therapy, including those with tumors; abdominal aortic aneurism; fractures; metal inplants, screws or plates in the spine and the discs; advanced osteoporosis; pregnancy; and certain conditions that compromise the spine and the discs. As with any medical facts or fads, do your homework. Talk to your doctor and to numerous spine specialists. There is actually an American Spinal Decompression Association which is an affiliated group of physicians who have passed internal certifications in the proper delivery of spinal decompression therapy. Since I have a plate and a screws in my neck with my surgical spinal decompression (which was a great success) I am not a candidate for spinal decompression therapy. But I believe with lots of homework and a doctor you feel great about, spinal decompression therapy might do the trick for you.

herra Grissom was always heavy, even as a child. She could manage, but she was just not happy with herself. As an adult, she was experiencing multiple problems that included potential issues with borderline diabetes and blood pressure. Her doctor told Grissom, “You are going to shorten your life.” Taken as a wakeup call, she realized that changes had to be made. This was just four years ago, and those changes have been astounding. DAVID Grissom had always FREEZE had a desire to run, and loved watching others do it. She said, “Wow, I want to be able to do that.” Along with her husband, Todd, they set about exploring options, including gastric bypass surgery. Her insurance initially wouldn’t pay because her health issues were not deemed critical yet. Grissom had tried dieting for years, with only minimal results. She didn’t relish the idea of more of the same. Then her insurance company sent a notification of a change in coverage, qualifying Grissom with her BMI. BMI stands for Body Mass Index, a measure of body fat based on height and weight. Gastric bypass surgery was now an option. Grissom prayed about it, wondering if now was the time to allow diet drugs and surgery into her life. She realized that she had a lower self worth because of the excess weight. Physician’s Assistant Kevin Vanhoy told her that she should realize that God created the physicians who could help. Grissom prayed and asked “Is this the way?” She got her answer. Now confident that gastric bypass surgery was the proper plan, Grissom spent six months preparing by working with a nutritionist, a therapist, and a psychiatrist. The medical professionals wanted to make sure that she had the right mindset for success. They helped her with exercise and nutrition, making sure that those programs were in place even before the surgery. Gastric

The Rowan Rotary Club and the Rowan County United Way recognized young people for their service to the community Thursday with the annual Service Above Self Youth Awards. Individual awards this year went to Liberty Cozart, Jeffrey Stanton and Reed Fugle. This is the 15th year for the awards, established by Dr. Jim Duncan in 1995. Based on the Rotary International motto of “Service Above Self,” they are made possible by Rotary, the United Way and an anonymous donor. This year, organizers said 191 young people or groups were nominated for the awards, which honor students and groups at the elementary, middle and high school levels for their volunteer service. Judges this year were Zack Kyle, human resources director for the city of Salisbury; Dr. Gwendolyn B. Peart, director of library services for Livingstone College; and Paul Russo, director of the W.G. (Bill) Hefner VA Medical Center. Student winners in each division receive a medal and a Visa gift card. They also receive a check in the amount of half their award for the school or organization that nominated them. In each individual category, the first-place winner receives $250, first runnerup receives $100 and the second runner-up receives $50.

Intelligence chief warns South Korea may take action

aSSOCIaTED PRESS

WASHINGTON (AP) — South Korea is losing patience with North Korea and probably will take military action, former national intelligence director Dennis Blair said Sunday. Blair, who just returned from the Korean peninsula, said he doesn’t see a major war starting, but he believes recent aggression by the North will press South Korea into some lower level military confrontations.

He said there’s support among South Koreans for their military to take a stronger stance, adding that “a South Korean government who does not react would not be able to survive there.” He told CNN’s “State of the Union” that the North’s recent moves to sink a South Korean ship and fire artillery rounds on a South Korean island near a disputed sea border have frayed Seoul’s patience. The

President Barack Obama’s plan to cut payroll taxes for a year would provide big savings for many workers, but has Social Security advocates nervous it could jeopardize the massive retirement program’s finances.

FROM 1a

YEAR END HEARING AID CLEARANCE

As aging baby boomers start to retire and strain the system, advocates worry about future benefit cuts. This year, for the first time since the 1980s, Social Security will pay out more in benefits than it collects in payroll taxes. Without changes, Social Security’s trust funds will run out of money by 2037, according to the trustees who oversee the program. To save money, the leaders of a bipartisan deficit commission recently proposed a gradual increase in the full retirement age, from 67 to 69, drawing opposition from groups representing older people. “This 2 percent payroll tax cut is the beginning of the end of Social Security as we know it,” said the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare, which is led by former Rep. Barbara B. Kennelly, D-Conn. “Worker contributions have successfully funded the program for 75 years and that critical linkage between contributions and benefits is what keeps Social Security a self-funded program.”

solutely certain that the entitlement funding streams are secure,” Pomeroy said. Social Security is funded by a 6.2 percent payroll tax on the first $106,800 earned by a worker. The tax is matched by employers. The package negotiated by Obama would reduce the tax paid by workers to 4.2 percent for 2011. Employer rates would stay unchanged. Obama administration officials say that a payroll tax cut is an efficient way to stimulate the economy by immediately increasing take home pay for about 155 million workers. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office agrees, and many business groups and Republicans support it. “What came out of the compromise was the idea of the payroll tax holiday, which, frankly, a huge number of economists and other experts had been talking about over the last two years with a lot of support in both political parties,” said Larry Summers, Obama’s chief economic adviser. The United Auto Workers endorsed the deal, saying, “Working families will likely spend this money in their local communities, creating jobs and stimulating overall growth.” The payroll tax cut is part of a larger package negotiated by Obama and GOP lawmakers to extend a sweeping array of Bush era tax cuts that expire at the end of the month. Some Democratic lawmakers have balked at the plan, saying it is tilted too much in favor of the rich. The payroll tax cut would provide relief to any worker earning a wage. It would replace Obama’s Making Work Pay tax credit, which has provided modest increases in most workers’ paychecks for the past two years. The payroll tax credit would be more generous to individuals making more than $20,000 and married couples making more than $40,000. For those making less, the payroll tax cut would be less than the Making Work Pay credit. Making Work Pay, which expires at the end of the year, gives workers a tax credit of 6.2 percent of their wages, but it is capped at $400 for individuals and $800 for couples. The credit is phased out for individuals making more than $75,000 and couples making more than $150,000. A worker would have to make $20,000 in wages for the payroll tax cut to equal the $400 Making Work Pay tax credit; couples would have to make $40,000. At the wealthy end of the pay scale, workers making $106,800 — the maximum amount of wages subject to Social Security taxes — would see their payroll taxes reduced by $2,136. That worker’s spouse could also get a payroll tax cut of up to $2,136, if he or she makes at least $106,800. The proposal requires the Treasury Department to replenish Social Security with other government funds, which would have to be borrowed. “The payroll tax cut has absolutely no effect on the solvency of Social Security,” said White House economic adviser Jason Furman. Social Security has accumulated a $2.5 trillion trust fund since the 1980s. But the government has borrowed that money to pay for other programs. The Treasury Department has issued special bonds to Social Security, guaranteeing the money will be repaid, with interest.

Sweden shocked by first terror attack in three decades has been spared the major terrorist strikes seen in several other European countries. A car exploded in the middle of the seasonal shopping frenzy, shooting flames and causing several smaller blasts as people ran screaming from the scene. The blast that killed the alleged bomber came moments later a few blocks away from the car explosion on a busy pedestrian street. Experts said the alleged

bomber probably didn’t succeed in detonating all the explosives and could have caused much greater damage. Although police haven’t confirmed Saturday’s attack was motivated by Islamist views, an audio file sent to Swedish news agency TT shortly before the blast referred to jihad, Sweden’s military presence in Afghanistan and a cartoon by a Swedish artist that depicted the

Prophet Muhammad as a dog, enraging many Muslims. Police in the UK searched a property in Bedfordshire Saturday after reports that the alleged bomber lived in Luton and studied at the University of Bedfordshire Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt on Sunday said the attack was “unacceptable” but urged Swedes not to jump to “premature conclusions.”

LOS ANGELES (AP) — It’s a Saturday morning and a half-dozen adults are sitting in a high school classroom, staring at grim photos of sickly drug addicts and hearing about the deadly consequences of gang crime. They’d rather not be here, but a judge made them come. The moms and dads were ordered to attend the class under a new California law giving judges the option of sending parents for training when their kids are convicted of gang crimes for the first time. Assemblyman Tony Mendoza, the lawmaker behind the Parent Accountability Act, said it is the first state law to give judges the power to order parents of gang members to school, though other courtmandated classes exist at the local level. “A lot of parents do not know how to handle teenagers,” Mendoza said. “Now more than ever, parents need a guide.” The new law went into effect in January and eventually will be in place across California. Budget cuts in Sacramento meant implementation of the classes was delayed and only in the past month or so have they been rolled out on a limited basis in the Los Angeles Unified School District.

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — An explosives-packed minibus blew up at the entrance of a joint NATOAfghan base in southern Afghanistan on Sunday, killing six NATO troops and two Afghan soldiers as they prepared to head out on patrol. NATO has claimed improvements in security after months of raids, patrols and strikes on insurgents in Kandahar province, but Sunday’s blast — the deadliest attack on coalition troops this month — shows the area is still far from safe. The assault comes days ahead of a major White House review of its Afghan strategy following President Barack Obama’s decision last year to send 30,000 American reinforcements in a bid to reverse gains by the Taliban since they were ousted from power in the 2001 U.S.-led invasion. Afghan officials said Sunday’s suicide attack took place in Kandahar’s Zhari district, where Mullah Mohammad Omar organized the Taliban in the early 1990s. Taliban spokesman Qari Yousuf Ahmadi claimed responsibility for the blast, saying the insurgent group was retaliating for attacks on its fighters in the area in recent months. U.S. and Afghan forces launched a major operation in September to secure Zhari, a lush farming region of irrigation canals and grape vineyards that the Taliban have used as a staging area for attacks in nearby Kandahar city and other parts of the south.

WASHINGTON (AP) — One of the solar system’s most evocative mysteries — the origin of Saturn’s rings — may be a case of cosmic murder, new research suggests. The victim: an unnamed moon of Saturn that disappeared about 4.5 billion years ago. The suspect: a disk of hydrogen gas that once surrounded Saturn when its dozens of moons were forming, but has now fled the crime scene. The cause of death: A forced plunge into Saturn. And those spectacular and colorful rings are the only evidence left. As the doomed moon made its death spiral, Saturn robbed its outer layer of ice, which then formed rings, according to a new theory published online Sunday in the journal Nature.

WILMINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; North Carolina officials are looking at improving access to existing ports facilities in Wilmington and have given up on building a large new terminal in Southport. The StarNews of Wilmington reported that state officials on Friday requested the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers look into improvements to the existing shipping channel to prepare for larger ships that East Coast ports are expecting to arrive after improvements to the Panama Canal are completed in 2014. Natural Resources Department Secretary Dee Freeman said in a letter to the Corps of Engineers that the state would no longer be a â&#x20AC;&#x153;sponsorâ&#x20AC;? for the proposed North Carolina International Terminal. That project was effectively killed this summer when lawmakers refused to fund a feasibility study.

A fall was one of the possibilities police were investigating, according to reports. Paul said he last saw Reeder at his house about 2:34 a.m. Sunday with at least two other men he knew. Paul said he went to bed after taking care of his animals. His place often is used as a place for friends to crash, he added. Reeder worked at Magna Composites, and Saturday was one of the first off days he had enjoyed in awhile, the men said. They said Reeder lived with his mother and stepfather in Salisbury and had a daughter in Ohio, where he had grown up. Paul called Reeder â&#x20AC;&#x153;a good kid,â&#x20AC;? who worked hard. He was scheduled to report to Magna for a work shift at 6 p.m. Sunday, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have met a better person,â&#x20AC;? Paul added. Phillip Berryman, a North Jackson Street resident who had met Reeder while Reeder was visiting the house next door, said Reeder was nice, quiet and â&#x20AC;&#x153;wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to hurt no one.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see how someone could do a person like that,â&#x20AC;? he added.

Pat said, if theft was a motive. Paul, who lives across the street from the creek and the park, said he has offered to let police install cameras on his house and have them pointed toward the park. He and others said street lights in this area donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work. They also called for the installation of speed bumps on North Jackson Street because of

fast traffic and the number of children living along the street. Pat said police donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t often patrol through this area, but he added he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily consider it a high-crime neighborhood.

Blue Ridge Parkway earns grim ranking ASHEVILLE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A study shows that the Blue Ridge Parkway was the national park with the most suicides from 2003 to 2009. The Asheville CitizenTimes reported Saturday on a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that 15 people killed themselves on the parkway during that period and another six attempted suicide. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the first report to look specifically at suicides in national parks. Study author Sara Newman said the deaths are preventable and traumatizing to park staff. Newman said the U.S. Park Service is looking at the data to determine whether additional training for staff can help reduce suicides. Officials at the Blue Ridge Parkway say it was likely the top location because it is the most visited national park, charges no admission and has many access points.

Could each day be a work of art?

Cost-cutting idea for commissioners Let me start by saying “thank you” to all the citizens who supported me in my campaign. Throughout the election season we talked about and discussed the cost and the size of government. Many ideas were floated on how we, as commissioners, would or could reduce this cost for our citizens. As a citizen, I would like to propose a cost savings. Our commissioners are not full time employees. As such, they are not entitled to the insurance benefits offered by the county. I would hope a motion is brought forth and a vote is called for to end commissioners’ ability to take part in the county’s insurance program. No other parttime county employee is entitled to this benefit. I do not believe the commissioners are entitled to take part in COBRA. I realize this is not a great cost savings. We have asked employees to go without pay increases. We have cut costs in every department; the sheriff had five or six deputies cut. Now, I believe, it is time for the commissioners to cut in their section. Yes, when I was a commissioner, I had county insurance. I do not believe I ever used it. I am older and, I hope, wiser now and believe this is a benefit that should not be provided. I wish our leaders the best and hope for good measures for our citizens. — Leda S. Belk

This is a blog entry by Salisbury writer Sam Post. You can link to more blog entries by him and other local writers through the blog site at www.salisburypost.com. had a pretty good day today. First, after coming downstairs, I put a kettle on the stove for coffee. While I waited for the water to boil, I went outside and gathered wood. As I sit here, at 9 p.m., that fire is still doing quite nicely. While the fire began and the coffee brewed, I made a large omelet with two kinds of cheese, mushrooms, and onions. Alicia and I shared this. After that, I SAM think I surfed the POST web for a few minutes and checked e-mail. Then I read a short story called “YoungThing,” by Nuruddin Farah, in a recent copy of the New Yorker. It was a sad story with considerable suspense about a young boy in Somalia who had joined a terrorist cell. Then my daughter called in a panic. She had to be at work and her car had broken down. I dashed off to get her and as I drove down Innes Street my cell phone rang. She had solved the problem. She had run out of gas and was now back on the road. It’s impossible for me to judge this behavior — since I myself ran out of gas just two days ago — on Thursday evening, a cold night — and Alicia had to venture out in the night with a gas can.

Excerpts from comments at www.salisburypost.com

We talked about Christmas and business and children and pizza and beer. In the early afternoon, I went for a walk with Alicia and Jackie Mudpie (our dog). We walked in the woods where it was peaceful and scenic. Upon return, I got a phone call from Tapi — our family’s exchange student in 1973, and a college roommate after that — and one of my oldest, dearest friends. We talked for a while about all kinds of stuff, including life, children, health, parents, yoga … Then, I visited my Mom. While there, sitting in her room, I read a powerful and tender piece by Joyce Carol Oates in that same copy of The New Yorker. In “A Widow’s Story” Ms. Oates recalls the week in February of ’08 in which she lost her husband. Her details are true and vivid and it breaks your heart. Then I fed Mom part of her dinner. Chicken. Potatoes. Gingerbread. She ate, and drank, and never opened her eyes. After that, I went to the mall and finished my daily 10k steps. Ran into Keith and Carol Earnhardt, some good folks I haven't seen in awhile, and enjoyed catching up. We talked about Christmas and business and children and pizza and beer. Came home and had a bowl of soup and an avocado. For dessert, I had a piece of toast with peanut butter and honey. Currently, I’m sitting on the couch by the fire. The dog is sleeping beside me, pressed against my hip. In the kitchen, I have a cup of tea brewing. There was some talk in the local news recently about whether a pair of underwear can be a work of art. What about a day? Can that be a work of art? What if we lived each day as if it were a new work of art, and each moment of that day as if it were part of the work? Whether we think of it that way or not (and I certainly have not done that, most of my days), that’s really what it is.

Put nonprofits on your year-end giving list www.ncnonprofits.org

The countdown to the end of the year is officially underway. At least it is at the N.C. Center for Nonprofits. The center just launched its annual Year-End Countdown Giving Campaign to call attention to the many needs facing nonprofits across North Carolina. “For some nonprofits, you’ll hear a sigh of relief just to have kept their doors open for another year,” says Trisha Lester, vice president at the N.C. Center. “And, for far too many, 2011 still brings uncertainty for what’s to come. We encourage individuals to give as generously as they can to organizations whose work they find most meaningful.” Lester offers five thoughts for donors to consider with year-end contributions: • 84 percent of people would rather receive a gift that benefits someone else. Contribute in honor of a friend or family member. • Give to nonprofits of all sizes and missions. Human service nonprofits are doing more with less, but so are organizations in the arts, environment, education, advocacy, and other fields. Support them, too. • If not you, who will? We all benefit from nonprofits — whether for a basic need, a cultural perform-

I don’t think chewing tobacco is any better than smoking cigarettes. In fact, chewing tobacco is just as dangerous as smoking cigarettes.

Gawker website says database is compromised NEW YORK (AP) — Gawker Media Inc. is urging subscribers to change their passwords because someone has managed to hack into the company’s user database. The company, which runs a series of irreverent blogs on media, technology and other issues, said in a posting on its website Sunday that the commenting passwords used on the sites were encrypted, but simple ones could be vulnerable to attacks by hackers’ computers. The company also said passwords on

other sites should be changed if they were the same as the ones stored by Gawker Media. “We’re deeply embarrassed by this breach,” the posting on gawker.com said. “We should not be in the position of relying on the goodwill of the hackers who identified the weakness in our systems.” Gawker’s Gizmodo tech blog gained fame in May when it posted pictures of an iPhone prototype. The phone was lost by an Apple Inc. engineer in a Silicon Valley bar.

The Gawker breach is the latest in a recent series of cyberspace attacks on websites. Last week, the Visa and MasterCard sites were inaccessible for a short time likely because of attacks by supporters of the WikiLeaks website. Supporters were angry that the credit card companies had stopped processing donations to WikiLeaks. Both MasterCard and Visa said that cardholders’ accounts were not at risk and that people could continue using their credit cards.

a video frame grab shows the web page of pop Box, which allows uses to watch internet content on big-screen televisions.

Technology changing Until recently, online viewing had largely been limited to personal computers, using standard Web browsers or video software. Some shows are free, with ads, just like regular broadcasts. Others carry a fee — as little as 99 cents for a single television episode through Amazon.com Inc., for example, or less than $10 a month for unlimited access to programming on Netflix Inc. Now, though, a slew of new devices relay Internet video to television sets. The Apple TV and Roku set-top boxes, for instance, serve as bridges to deliver online programs to the TV. Some high-end sets connect directly to the Internet. Cable companies such as Comcast worry that easy viewing of Internet video on TVs could lead customers to drop their monthly subscriptions in favor of low-cost online alternatives. Comcast’s 22.9 million cable subscribers pay an average of $71 per month for cable TV. Broadcasters, meanwhile, fear Internet video could cannibalize revenue from television commercials, which are far more lucrative than online ads. They fear cable cancellations, too, because cable companies increasingly pay them per subscriber for the rights to carry stations on their lineups. The threat is still small, but real: Research firm SNL Kagan projects that 8.1 million households, or 7 percent of all U.S. homes with a TV, will substitute Internet video for

Required sharing One measure regulators are considering would require Comcast to make NBC’s broadcast and cable channels available to rival online providers at reasonable prices. Under current rules, cable TV companies have to share programming they own with rivals such as satellite companies, but not Internet distributors. Although any condition would apply only to Comcast and NBC content, it would establish an important precedent and could open the door for the FCC or Congress to extend this mandate to others later. Regulators may also prohibit Comcast from requiring a cable subscription to get online access to NBC Universal’s shows and movies. That would keep NBC content out of the industry initiative that offers online viewing of such hit shows as HBO’s “True Blood” and “Entourage,” but only for subscribers of cable and other video services. Comcast and others market the service as an added benefit for customers who want another way to watch premium video they are already paying for, but critics say the program ties online video to ca-

cent stake in NBC Universal would transform the media landscape. It would give the nation’s largest cable television company control over a major movie studio, Universal Studios, and some of the most-watched channels on TV, including the NBC and Telemundo broadcast networks and CNBC, Bravo and Oxygen on cable. So what regulators do — or don’t do — will set key ground rules for the industry. “Whether you’re holding a remote or using a mouse, this merger will affect the prices you pay, the choices you have and the pace of video innovation for many years to come,” said Colin Crowell, a former FCC senior staffer and 20year congressional aide who is now advising several groups concerned about the combination. Both Comcast and NBC insist that Internet video represents an opportunity to expand their reach and say they have no intention of stunting the growth of the nascent market. But already, Comcast is participating in an industrywide program to limit online viewing of many popular shows to cable subscribers. And NBC has joined other broadcast networks in blocking access to full episodes of its shows through Google Inc.’s Google TV software, which delivers Web content to TV sets.

ble subscriptions. In addition, the government is weighing whether to force Comcast to sell NBC’s 32 percent stake in the Internet video service Hulu, which has become a major Web platform for NBC, ABC and Fox shows and offers a model for other programmers as they expand online. So far, Comcast has indicated that it could accept a ban on pressuring independent programmers into restricting online distribution of their content in exchange for a spot in its cable lineups. But the company is resisting other conditions, arguing they are unnecessary. Comcast Executive Vice President David Cohen insists that the company has no reason to limit NBC content to its own subscribers because that “would close off access to so many other customers.” (Although Comcast is the nation’s largest cable TV provider, only a fifth of all U.S. households with a TV now subscribe to its cable TV service.) Executives at Comcast and NBC both say they want to distribute programming across all types of platforms, and Comcast points to its service that lets subscribers watch cable shows online as an example. But Harold Feld, legal director for the public interest group Public Knowledge, adds a caveat: “They want to do it in a way that doesn’t disrupt their highly profitable traditional business models.” So perhaps it’s telling that NBC Universal General Counsel Rick Cotton sees online video as a complement rather than a substitute for cable. “Consumers can sample shows and catch episodes they missed online,” he said, “but they are not trying to replicate traditional video services.”

Victim of Saturday night shooting identified BY MARK WINEKA mwineka@salisburypost.com

EAST SPENCER — East Spencer Police Chief Floyd Baldo identified the victim of a Saturday night shooting on East Henderson Street as 33year-old Michael Figueroa. Baldo said Figueroa emerged from surgery

around 6 or 7 a.m. Sunday and was considered to be in stable condition. To protect Figueroa, Baldo declined to identify the hospital in which he is recovering. Baldo said the shooting occurred at the East Henderson Street residence of Figueroa, but he would not say whether the shooting occurred inside

or outside the house. “We’re still working on that,” Baldo said Sunday. “We don’t have hardly anything to go by at this time.” Baldo said he could not elaborate on possible motives behind the shooting or the number of suspects. Contact Mark Wineka at 704-797-4263.

RALEIGH (AP) — Charter school advocates say 2011 could be a watershed year in North Carolina after the limit on the number of these independent schools in the state went unchanged for more than a decade. The turnabout occurred because Republicans were swept into power in both chambers of the Legislature for the first time in more than a century. The GOP’s fall campaign platform pledged to eliminate the 100-charter cap that has been in place since charter schools were created in 1996. Likely House Speaker Thom Tillis, R-Mecklenburg, recently said his chamber will follow through quickly on that promise. “Lifting the cap on charter schools is something that both houses of the General Assembly will address in the first few weeks of the session,” said Sen. Phil Berger, R-Rockingham, who is expected to be elected Senate leader when the Legislature reconvenes Jan. 26. Charter schools last year served about 38,000 students, less than 3 percent of the state’s students. Education reform advocates say as many as 20,000 students are on waiting lists at the state’s 99 charter schools. With the Republicans’ vetoproof majority in the Senate and a near similar supermajority in the House, it would be difficult for Democratic legislators, Gov. Beverly Perdue or the state’s leading teacher lobbying group — all of whom have been lukewarm to increasing the limit — to block a change. Several Democrats also are expected to support removing the cap, particularly those whose constituents see hope in charter schools because their children are failing in conventional public schools. “It’s been a long time coming,” said Darrell Allison, president of Parents for Educational Freedom in North Carolina. “It’s a sunny day for families.” The 70,000-member North Carolina Association of Educators has opposed raising the cap for years, but its leaders understand the new political climate at the Legislature. They plan to shift their focus to fixing what they say are weaknesses in the current charter school operations that harm local school districts. “We are not standing in front of this bill and saying

ing of country ham, particularly its preparation and aging through the seasons until it reached a completed state. The gruesome, first scene of Act I of the swine in its journey to become country ham was left out, giving a kind of Disneyesque quality to the display. All of the stops had been pulled out in the crafting of this exhibit. The artificial trees of the equally artificial farm appeared to be real, along with an artificial stream made of reflective plastic, and a fullsized smokehouse outbuilding. A little trail led past artificial grass with flowers of spring (also unreal).

My children, Rachel and Jeremy, were in awe of both of the “helpers” for the two main mythological characters who provide toys and goodies. In Rachel’s case, however, at about age 5, she became totally fascinated with a mall display not having anything to do with Christmas or Easter, but instead, country ham. The display was yearround, not seasonal, since the subject requires a year in its making, so all of the seasons were encompassed.

Braves’ busy winter

MINNEAPOLIS — The Minnesota Vikings and New York Giants will play Monday night in Detroit after the Metrodome’s inflated roof collapsed in a snowstorm. The delay has given Vikings quarterback Brett Favre more time to heal his sprained right shoulder and see if he can extend his NFLrecord streak of 297 straight games started. Metrodome officials told the league the roof wouldn’t be ready in time to play Monday or Tuesday. The league had discussions with Detroit and Indianapolis and briefly considered the University of Minnesota’s outdoor stadium

before deciding to hold the game at Ford Field at 7:20 p.m. The game originally was scheduled for Sunday afternoon and already had been pushed back to Monday night because of the storm that dumped 17 inches of snow on Minneapolis. No one was hurt, but the roof collapse sent the league and both teams scrambling. The Giants’ plane was diverted to Kansas City on Saturday, and the team initially planned to leave early Sunday morning and arrive in the Twin Cities in time to play.

Team restocked for new manager Associated Press

ATLANTA — Faster than Bobby Cox could clean out his office, Atlanta GM Frank Wren already has restocked the Braves’ roster for new manager Fredi Gonzalez. T h e small, b l u e nameplate outside the manager’s ofat fice Turner Field still GONZALEZ says “Bobby Cox.” Gonzalez says he has assured the newly retired Cox there’s no rush to clear out his belongings. The focus this winter has been on adding players’ nameplates. Wren has hustled to address the team’s top offseason concerns. Dan Uggla was acquired from Florida to add a power-hitting right-handed bat to the lineup, and Wren added two veterans — left-hander George Sherrill and right-hander Scott Linebrink — to a bullpen which lost closer Billy Wagner and Takashi Saito. “We’ll continue to look and see if there’s other areas to improve the club,” Wren said Friday. “But I think, really, all of our big pieces are done.” The general manager also claimed Joe Mather off waivers from the Cardinals to serve in a utility role. Eric Hinske was resigned for another year in his role as a top pinch-hitter and utility player. Hinske is insurance at first base for rookie starter Freddie Freeman. Also, right-handed reliever Scott Proctor was re-signed. There’s a longer list of departed players. Wagner retired, while Saito and reliever Kyle Farnsworth are gone. To clear room for Freeman, the Braves did not attempt to re-sign first basemen Derrek Lee and Troy Glaus. Outfielders Matt Diaz, Melky Cabrera and Rick Ankiel also are gone. All-Star infielder Omar Infante and left-handed reliever Mike Dunn were sent to the Marlins for Uggla. Wren still hopes to trade pitcher Kenshin Kawakami and negotiate an extension for Uggla.

darien rankin (2), committed to North carolina, had one last hurrah as a salisbury Hornet on saturday night.

Title march started in ... Utah? Cleaning out the state championship notebook ... t was such a neat thing. Here were supposed rivals — Romar Morris and Darien Rankin of Salisbury and Domonique Noble and B.J. Sherrill of West Rowan — on a plane together last summer, flying to the University of Utah. Ask any of the four and they’ll tell you they got along great in Salt Lake City. Poked fun at each other. Went everywhere together. They competed in a combine, and together, wowed the onlookers with their talent. They were linked that summer day. About five months later, on a cold, rainy Saturday night, they still were. RONNIE Imagine being one of those GALLAGHER Rowan County football fans, watching West Rowan defeat Eastern Alamance 34-7 in Raleigh in the afternoon and then driving to Winston-Salem to see the second half of Salisbury’s 30-0 pasting of Northeastern that night. There were those same four kids, all destined for a Division I school, sharing something else together — a state championship and putting a wrap on the greatest football season in county history. “They were great on that trip,” said West coach Scott Young, who went to Utah with them. “We knew we had a chance. We knew Salisbury was knocking on the door.” Saturday night, they knocked down two doors. • Salisbury coach Joe Pinyan went even further. “Instead of talking about just those four, you have to talk about the whole county,” he said. “There’s great athletes everywhere in this county. Everybody should be proud — from West to East and from North to South.” • Young didn’t have much time to celebrate. At 7:30 a.m. on Sunday, he was taking Noble and Charles Holloway to Spartanburg, S.C. for next week’s Shrine Bowl. Young had one thing on his mind as he drove home. “The uniforms are a mess,” he laughed.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Urban Meyer is walking away from Florida because of health concerns, according to a person with knowledge of the situation. Meyer has a recurring burning sensation in his chest that doctors told him last week would raise cardiovascular risk factors if he continued to coach. The Gainesville Sun first reported the story. Meyer announced his resignation Wednesday and said health was not the reason he was walking away. He said he wanted to spend more time with his family. The person with knowledge of Meyer’s health said the coach can resolve his chest pain with “constant monitoring,” which he already has started doing. Meyer first resigned Dec. 27, 2009, three weeks after he was rushed to a hospital because of chest pain. He changed his mind the following day and instead decided to take a leave of absence. He scaled back some, but changed little about his work habits once the season began. Florida athletic director Jeremy Foley said Wednesday that Meyer has worked his tail off. “You think of what he’s rebuilt. He built one at Bowling Green, he built one at Utah, he built one here,” Foley said. “It’s not just sacrifices here the last six years. That’s 10 years of their lives, not to mention what he did before that as an assistant coach. It’s his time to step back and spend time with his family. You’re not getting it back. I admire him for that.” Meyer hasn’t ruled out coaching again. His future likely will be tied to his health. Meyer was diagnosed with esophageal spasms in January and began taking medicine to treat them. The person with knowledge of Meyer’s health said the spasms have been under control, but other symptoms have lingered. Those prompted Meyer to talk with doctors and family members, and then he decided that continuing to coach at his current pace would be too risky. Meyer will coach his final game in the Outback Bowl on Jan. 1 against Penn State, but he intends to remain in Gainesville and continue to work in the athletic department. Florida hired Texas defensive coordinator Will Muschamp to succeed Meyer on Saturday.

Knicks still on a roll Associated Press

NBA roundup ... NEW YORK — Amare Stoudemire scored 24 of his 30 points in the second half, Wilson Chandler made the tiebreaking 3-pointer with 30 seconds left, and the New York Knicks beat the Denver Nuggets 129-125 on Sunday for their first eight-game winning streak in 16 years. Perhaps catching a break not to have been called for a second technical foul and ejected in the second quarter, Stoudemire set a franchise record with his eighth straight 30point game. The more important streak for the Knicks is the winning one. Winning for the 13th time in 14 games, the Knicks have won eight straight for the first time since Dec. 27, 1994-Jan. 13, 1995. At 16-9, they are off to their best start after 25 games since they were 18-7 in 1996-97. 76ers 88, Hornets 70 PHILADELPHIA — Andre Iguodala and Lou Williams led a first-half run that catapulted the Philadelphia 76ers to a win on Sunday. Williams finished with 17 points, Elton Brand had 15, and Iguodala had 16 points and 10 assists for his fourth double-double of the season. The Sixers won for the fifth time in seven games. Chris Paul scored 25 points for New Orleans and David West had nine. Lakers 99, Nets 92 NEWARK, N.J. — Kobe Bryant

scored 25 of his 32 points in the second half and set up Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom for easy baskets in a late eight-point run. Odom had five of his 22 points in the late spurt and Gasol had the other three in capping a 15-point, 11-rebound effort that led the Lakers to their sixth Magic 94, Clippers 85 LOS ANGELES — Dwight Howard scored 22 points to help Orlando snap skids of four games overall and three straight on the road. Jameer Nelson added 17 points, Vince Carter 13, and Brandon Bass had 13 points and a career high-tying 11 rebounds for his first double-double of the season. Blake Griffin had 27 points and 16 rebounds for his 18th double-double, and Eric Gordon scored 28 points for the Clippers, who lost for the eighth time in a row to Orlando. Thunder 106, Cavaliers 77 OKLAHOMA CITY — Kevin Durant scored 25 points, and Jeff Green and James Harden added 19 apiece as Oklahoma City send Cleveland to its eighth straight loss. Spurs 95, Blazers 78 SAN ANTONIO — Tim Duncan had eight points and 13 rebounds in his 1,000th career regular-season game, but the Spurs hardly needed him while cruising to a fifth straight win with a 95-78 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday. George Hill scored 22 in the fourth straight blowout for the Spurs, who improved to 20-3.

Rangers wallop Washington Associated Press NEW YORK — Artem Anisimov scored the first of three Rangers goals during a 31⁄2-minute span early in the second period, and New York routed a frustrated Alex Ovechkin and the slumping Washington Capitals 7-0 on Sunday night. Canucks 2, Oilers 1 EDMONTON, Alberta — Henrik Sedin had a goal and an assist and the Vancouver Canucks beat the Edmonton Oilers on Sunday, giving them three straight road wins for the first time in more than a year. Mighty Ducks 6, Wild 2 ANAHEIM, Calif. — Corey Per-

ry scored three goals for the Ducks. GOLF COOLUM, Australia — Australia’s 51-year-old Peter Senior won the raindelayed Australian PGA on Monday, beating Geoff Ogilvy with a par on the second hole of a playoff to become the oldest player to win a major professional tournament in Australia. Shark Shootout NAPLES, Fla. — Dustin Johnson and Ian Poulter won the Shark Shootout, shooting a 13-under 59 in the scramble format to beat Darren Clarke and Graeme McDowell by two shots. Johnson and Poulter took the lead with birdies on their first four holes and finished at 30-under 186.

Seahawks whip Wake

AssOciAted PRess

snow has fallen through a hole in the roof of the Metrodome and can be seen on the field.

SNOW FROM 1B the building’s 29-year history that has happened. University of Minnesota officials told the NFL that TCF Bank Stadium was shut down for the winter and would take several days to prepare for another game. Removing all the snow, figuring out how to cram 64,000 Metrodome fans into a 50,000-seat stadium, and the fact that the Giants did not bring any cold-weather gear with them from New York for what would have been a brutally frigid night game all combined to make that site problematic. The New Orleans Saints and Colts also said they were willing to help. “It’s Detroit. Goodcall. Makes sense,” Colts owner Jim Irsay wrote on Twitter. The Vikings are refunding the cost of the tickets for the game for any fans who can’t make it to Detroit. Those that do will be given priority seating along the 50-yard line at Ford Field and the Lions will distribute free general admission tickets starting at 9 a.m. “There are still a lot of logistics up in the air, but we will do everything we can to make this a quality NFL game for the Vikings and Giants,” Lions President Tom Lewand said. The game will be broadcast in both local markets on Fox affiliates and will also be available as part of DirectTV’s Sunday Ticket package. It will be the first Monday night game at Ford Field and first in Michigan since the Silverdome hosted one in 2001. The roof collapse is a fitting metaphor in a trying season for the Vikings that has included: the firing of coach Brad Childress;

PANTHERS FROM 1B end John Abraham said. “All the games can put us in a good situation. We’ve got Seattle, then New Orleans and Carolina again. We want to have that home field advantage and for us we have to keep winning.” Abraham and Kroy Biermann each had two sacks, Peterson later picked off Jimmy Clausen and the Falcons became the latest team to shut down the league’s worst offense — a team that’s now begun to point fingers, too. Clausen, the rookie whose introduction to the NFL has been rough, threw for only 107 yards and extended his streak of passes without a TD to 193. He apologized to linebacker Jon Beason for his play after the game, drawing the wrath of receiver Steve Smith, who had another quiet day. “If you’re going to apologize, you know, you should apologize to the people in the huddle with you,” Smith said. “He has a lot to learn. He ain’t at Notre Dame anymore that’s for sure.” Stewart rushed for a season-best 133 yards, but his fumble set the tone for another miserable afternoon as the Panthers (112) dropped their seventh straight to stay on track to get the top pick in the draft. “Everybody should be apologizing about something,” left tackle Jordan Gross said.

the investigation of Favre for allegedly sending inappropriate messages to a Jets hostess 2008; the disappointing play of a 5-7 team that had Super Bowl aspirations. “I think this is officially the craziest season ever; now the roof collapses at the metrodome,” Vikings defensive end Brian Robison tweeted. “Can’t wait to see what happens now. Let’s make it even crazier and just take the roof off and play outside.” Tweeted punter Chris Kluwe: “Just when you think you’ve seen it all, there’s always tomorrow.” Favre has barely practiced. He’s listed as questionable after getting hit hard and slammed to the turf on his first pass of last week’s game against the Buffalo Bills and coach Leslie Frazier said Friday that he would have to show them he can make all the throws in a pregame workout before he was cleared to play. He sent a text message to ESPN on Sunday morning that he would not have been able to play if the game Sunday. “Joke going round is God’s tryin’ to preserve Brett’s streak record,” receiver Bernard Berrian tweeted. “Lol!!” Concerns about high winds for the crew clearing snow from the roof prompted the commission on Saturday to recommend to the NFL that the game be moved from Sunday to Monday night. Two of the dome’s triangle-shaped panels were damaged and workers were still assessing the situation, Metropolitan Sports Facilities Commission Executive Director Bill Lester said Sunday. The only time before Sunday that a game has been postponed because of roof failure was April 14, 1983, when a baseball game between the Minnesota Twins and California Angels had to be rescheduled.

“This is a mess as far as our production on the field.” Atlanta inched closer to a playoff berth with the victory. With Green Bay losing to Detroit, Atlanta would get in with a loss by the Eagles on Sunday night or the Giants on Monday thanks to Turner’s continued resurgence. Turner, who sprained his ankle here last year to derail his season as Atlanta missed the playoffs, had TD runs of 1, 3 and 4 yards in his fifth straight 100-yard game against Carolina. He carried 28 times, getting increased work despite a shot to the eye early on as backup Jason Snelling (hamstring) remained sidelined. “It was great football weather out there,” Turner said. “It was a muddy, sloppy field.. Just went out there and had some fun.” Ryan wasn’t particularly sharp, but completed 20 of 34 passes for 227 yards and an interception. Roddy White caught eight passes for 79 yards and Atlanta overcome an odd atmosphere amid Carolina’s horrible season. With bundled-up owner Jerry Richardson watching stone-faced from his open-air box in the end zone, he saw thousands of empty blue seats and a team in disarray after his offseason cost-cutting. The few fans that were on hand — the stadium was somewhere between a third and half full t — at least were making light of the situation. The loudest cheer early was when referee Clete Blakeman announced, “That is the end of the first quarter.”

domonique Noble (20) leads the Falcons onto the field for the 3A title game saturday.

GALLAGHER FROM 1B • Pinyan has been the victim of two ice buckets poured on his head two weeks in a row, first after beating Shelby in the Western final, and then Saturday night. “This one was much more tolerable,” Pinyan chuckled. • West was businesslike after its win. Saturday was its third straight title. For Salisbury, it was the Hornets’ first and the city made sure they enjoyed it. When the bus came off the I-85 ramp, the team got a police escort back to the school. Once there, they found fans waiting in the parking lot. “Our kids were high-fiveing them out the bus window,” Pinyan said. • Catawba coach Chip Hester was in Raleigh for West’s game and brought up an interesting fact. When he was at Raleigh Millbrook, his team played against Garner, the 1987 4A state champ. No Wake County team has not won a title since Garner. Wake ForestRolesville got rolled 44-0 by Butler on Saturday. Hester also pointed out that a former Catawba player helped produce one state title. Former Catawba player and coach Ben Hepler is an assistant for 3AA champion Northern Guilford. • Of course, another Catawba grad, Philip Russ, has his first state title. He’s on Pinyan’s staff. • One interested onlooker in Raleigh was K.P. Parks, the greatest running back in state history. Young had gotten him a sideline pass. Parks was in on the first two titles and said he had no doubt this current team would be a three-peater. “I always knew they could,” Parks said. “They didn’t need a K.P. or a Chris Smith. Tradition moves on.” • Stevie Williams, who

played in a state championship game. We lost. I thought, ‘This ain’t so bad. We’ll be back pretty quick.’ Well, it went from 1976 to 2008 so it was a little bit of a wait.” • Davie had the best following for its 40-0 loss to Hillside. Officials said Davie’s crowd exceeded 8,000. Of course, Davie isn’t but a 20minutes drive. But to get to the big game with six losses was an incredible feat for justin uriah/sALisBURY POst Doug Illing’s War Eagles. • K.P.

Florida State 75, Clemson 69 TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida State’s Deividas Dulkys shook off a chilly start and hit three critical 3-point baskets in the second half to lead the Seminoles to a victory over Clemson in the ACC opener for both teams.

No. 2 Ohio State 85, Western Carolina 60 COLUMBUS, Ohio — Jared Sullinger scored 17 points and unbeaten Ohio State came out of the blocks fast to beat turnoverprone Western Carolina. Mike Williams led the Catamounts (4-8) with 22 points. No. 9 Georgetown 89, Appalachian St. 60 WASHINGTON — Jason Clark scored 15 points, Austin Freeman added 14 and Georgetown rebounded from its first loss of the season.

No. 12 Villanova 84, La Salle 81 PHILADELPHIA — Maalik Wayns scored 19 points, including the go-ahead layup with 1:09 left, for Villanova. No. 16 Illinois 86, N.

Patriots clinch berth Associated Press

CHICAGO — Tom Brady threw for 369 yards and two touchdowns, and the New England Patriots locked up their eighth playoff berth in 10 years with a 36-7 pounding of the Chicago Bears on a snowy, blustery, bone-chilling Sunday. The win was the fifth straight for the Patriots (11-2), and this one was no less impressive than their 45-3 rout of the New York Jets on Monday night. They wasted little time blowing it open, grabbing a 33-0 halftime lead and sending coach Bill Belichick to his 174th career win. That put him in a tie for 10th place with Mike Holmgren. Brady was brilliant again despite the brutal conditions, picking apart the league’s third-ranked defense. He completed 27 of 40 passes and went without an interception for the eighth straight game. Lions 7, Packers 3 DETROIT — Drew Stanton threw a 13-yard touchdown pass to Will Heller midway through the fourth quarter, and Green Bay couldn’t come back without an injured Aaron Rodgers. Detroit (3-10) snapped a five-game losing streak and a 19-game skid against the NFC North, the NFL’s worst slump within a division since the merger four decades ago. Green Bay (8-5) lost Rodgers and a game it desperately needed to win for playoff positioning. The star quarterback was knocked out in the second quarter with his second concussion this season. Saints 31, Rams 13 NEW ORLEANS — Drew Brees threw for three scores, Malcolm Jenkins returned one of his two interceptions 96 yards for his first career touchdown, and New Orleans Saints won its sixth straight game. Marques Colston had a pair of touchdown catches in traffic as New Orleans (10-3) raced to a 14-0 lead and never trailed. Lance Moore made a 31yard touchdown catch. Brees finished 25 of 40 for 221 yards and was intercepted twice. Rams rookie Sam Bradford scored the only St. Louis touchdown on a short keeper. He passed for 231 yards and was intercepted twice, both times near the Saints’ goal line. Jaguars 38, Raiders 31 JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — David Garrard threw three touchdown passes, Maurice Jones-Drew and Rashad Jennings each topped 100 yards rushing in a game filled with big plays. The Jaguars overcame a 10-point deficit to win for the fifth time in the last six games, setting up a critical AFC South game at Indianapolis next week. Jacksonville (8-5) stayed a game ahead of the Colts and can clinch the division title next week with a victory and a loss by Houston. The Raiders (6-7) lost for the third time in four weeks and faded from postseason contention. Buccaneers 17, Redskins 16 LANDOVER, Md. — A flubbed extra point attempt with 9 seconds to play kept Washington from tying the game. The Redskins pulled within a point on Santana Moss’ 6-yard touchdown catch, but Nick Sundberg’s slightly high snap on a wet field went through holder Hunter Smith’s hands. The Buccaneers improved to 8-5 and broke a two-game losing streak. It was also the fifth time this season Josh Freeman has won a game with a fourth-quarter comeback. He hit Kellen Winslow for a 41-yard scoring pass with 3:47 to play. Ryan Torain ran for 172 yards for Washington, 158 in the first half. Steelers 23, Bengals 7 PITTSBURGH — Troy Polamalu and LaMarr Woodley returned interceptions by Carson Palmer for touchdowns as Cincinnati dropped a franchise record 10-th straight game. The Steelers (10-3) couldn’t get into the end zone on offense despite dominating time of possession — a 91/2minute drive produced no points — but it didn’t matter as they closed in on a playoff spot by playing well enough to beat the Bengals (2-11).

Bills 13, Browns 6 ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Ryan Fitzpatrick threw an 11-yard touchdown pass to David Nelson and Leodis McKelvin made a late interception for Buffalo. Rian Lindell hit field goals of 30 and 19 yards to help the Bills (3-11) snap a three-game losing streak against Cleveland. The Browns (5-8) were eliminated from playoff contention. McKelvin intercepted Jake Delhomme’s pass with under 4 minutes left at the Bills 32, and Buffalo was able to run out the clock. 49ers 40, Seahawks 21 SAN FRANCISCO — Alex Smith threw for 255 yards and three touchdowns in a triumphant return to the starting lineup following a five-game absence, and San Francisco improved its playoff hopes. The Niners muddled up the ugly West race even more with a surprisingly lopsided win. San Francisco (5-8) moved within a game of division leaders Seattle (6-7) and St. Louis. The 49ers looked much more like the team that was predicted to win the division after an unbeaten preseason. Dolphins 10, Jets 6 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The Miami Dolphins turned two early turnovers into their only points in winning Sunday at the rainy Meadowlands. Much of the game was played in a downpour, which made for inept offense in the sloppy conditions. The Dolphins gained 132 yards, with Chad Henne passing for only 55, yet improved to 7-6. The Jets moved the ball better, picking up 286 yards. But Mark Sanchez’s fumble led to the only touchdown, Brandon Marshall’s 6yard reception in the first quarter. Earlier, Nolan Carroll’s interception set up Dan Carpenter’s 47-yard field goal. By far the most effective player on the wet field was Dolphins punter Brandon Fields. Chargers 31, Chiefs 0 SAN DIEGO— Philip Rivers threw two touchdown passes to Malcom Floyd and San Diego remained alive in the AFC West race. The Chiefs played without quarterback Matt Cassel, who didn’t travel after having an emergency appendectomy Wednesday. The four-time defending division champion Chargers (7-6) pulled within one game of the Chiefs (8-5). Cassel’s backup Brodie Croyle completed 7 of 17 passes for 40 yards and was sacked four times in his first start since the 2009 opener. Rivers was 18 of 24 for 226 yards and the Chargers outgained the Chiefs 426 yards to 67. Kansas City had only five first downs. Cardinals 43, Broncos 13 GLENDALE, Ariz. — Jay Feely became the fourth kicker in 40 years to run for a touchdown and added a career-best five field goals to help Arizona end a seven-game losing streak. Arizona rookie quarterback John Skelton completed 14 of 36 for 141 yards with no interceptions and had at least four passes dropped in his first NFL start. The Broncos (3-10) had six turnovers, including three interceptions by Kyle Orton, in their eighth loss in nine games. It was an uninspired debut under interim coach Eric Studesville, promoted from running backs coach when Josh McDaniels was fired last Monday. Eagles 30, Cowboys 27 ARLINGTON, Texas— DeSean Jackson’s go-ahead touchdown early in the fourth quarter was among many big plays for him and the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday night. Philadelphia (9-4) ended a threegame losing skid to its NFC East rival and moved a half-game ahead of the New York Giants in the division race. The Eagles will take a streak of five wins in six games to New York on Sunday for a showdown with the Giants. Dallas (4-9) fell behind in the opening minutes, yet kept it close and even led 20-14. But Philadelphia was relentless, dropping the Cowboys to 3-2 under interim coach Jason Garrett.

The next year is looking to be one of exceptional promise, especially in areas where you can assert a certain degree of authority and leadership. When coupled with your ambition, results could be huge. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Some kind of situation that has caused you a degree of anxiety looks like it will work out wonderfully. In fact, it might even pave the way for something new that you hadn’t anticipated. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Something you didn’t bank on could eclipse your present hopes and expectations, but don’t fret. This new addition might engender a great happening that otherwise would not have occurred. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Dawn is breaking on a new financial horizon that could prove to be advantageous for you. Various monies are likely to become available now from a previously untapped channel. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — Something involving others could be quite promising for you. However, the basic mechanism for reaping these enticing rewards will essentially be in your hands. Aries (March 21-April 19) — A number of solid leads could unexpectedly develop from, opening up new worlds for you. The learning that takes place will go on for some time. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Someone whom you recently met is likely to prove his or her worth in a couple of important ways. It will make you appreciate the value of this new friend. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Several opportunities that were previously nonexistent regarding your career could bloom for you. Be on your toes, so that you can take advantage of them. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — There is likely to be something in which you’re involved that could be organized more efficiently to better satisfy your needs. Check to see what that might be, and then apply your skills. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — If you diligently pursue developments that you believe could produce personal gains, you’ll do much for your financial situation, not only for now but for a long time to come as well. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Partnership arrangements with cohorts who take their responsibilities seriously could prove to be far more beneficial then you ever imagined. Don’t go it alone. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — A sweet shift in developments could begin, which would benefit you not only career-wise, but also where your material interests are concerned. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — You shouldn’t have any trouble being a bit bolder when trying to advance a personal interest. Once you believe the odds are in your favor, you won’t be afraid to take a chance. Know where to look for romance and you’ll find it.

Celiac disease may cause abdominal pain Auction provides clues for those who listen agnose because symptoms can vary greatly between sufferers, and most only have general complaints. In infants and young children, some of the more common symptoms can include weight loss, chronic diarrhea, constipation, vomiting, irritability, abdominal pain and bloating, and pale, foulsmelling or fatty stool. Even if these symptoms are not present, malabsorption can still be a problem and may lead to delayed growth, short stature, delayed puberty, dental defects in permanent teeth and more. In adults, digestive symptoms are less common. They may have unexplained iron-deficiency anemia, fatigue, bone or joint pain, arthritis, canker sores, missed menstrual periods, depression, anxiety, osteoporosis, tingling numbness in the hands and feet, seizures, infertility, recurrent miscarriages and dermatitis herpetiformis (a type of skin rash). Adults and children with the disorder may not have any symptoms; however, they are still at risk of developing complications over time. Complications include malnutrition, liver diseases and intestinal cancer. Many people with celiac may also have type 1 diabetes, Sjogren’s syndrome, autoimmune thyroid or liver disease, Addison’s disease or rheumatoid arthritis. The connection is thought to be genetic. If celiac disease is suspected, a physician can order a blood test to check the levels of certain autoantibodies, antitissue transglutaminase antibodies (tTGA) or anti-endomysium antibodies (EMA). Not all sufferers will test positive,

however, so intestinal biopsy may be performed to confirm the diagnosis. This is done during endoscopy. Another way to confirm the diagnosis is to have the patient begin a glutenfree diet. If the symptoms resolve, celiac may be diagnosed. It is important that this diet is not started without informing your physician because both the blood test and biopsy results can be altered. The good news is that if the diet is started before permanent damage is done, most, if not all, damage can be reversed. Today, more and more foods, beverages and products are becoming available that are gluten-free, making following the diet easier. Traditional breads and pastas can be replaced with products made from other flours, such as rice, arrowroot and more. Anyone interested in learning more can visit the websites of the American Celiac Disease Alliance (www.AmericanCeliac.org), the Celiac Disease Foundation (www.Celiac.org) or the Celiac Disease Awareness Campaign, a part of the National Digestive Diseases Information Clearinghouse and the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (www.celiac.nih.gov). 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.

Too many players turn a deaf ear to the bidding. But the auction provides many clues for those willing to listen and interpret. Today’s deal is a good example. You are in three notrump after East opened one diamond. West leads the diamond eight: three, 10, king. What would be your plan? Although you would have liked better diamonds, at least your one-no-trump overcall accurately described your hand. North sensibly eschewed Stayman. Even if you had a 4-4 spade fit, no-trump was likely to play as well as, if not better than, spades, especially if West could get a diamond ruff or two. Note West’s lead. With a very weak hand, choose partner’s suit. East has the entry cards.

work on that suit. Which is correct, though? Count the high-card points. Dummy has 11 and you have 16. That leaves 13 for the opponents, yet East opened the bidding. The spade finesse is zero percent and the club finesse is 100 percent. Play a low heart to dummy’s 10 and continue with a club to your queen. When the finesse wins, as you know it will, overtake your heart queen with dummy’s king, repeat the club finesse, play a spade to dummy’s ace, take a third club finesse, and claim nine tricks. Keep counting those points, especially when an opponent You have six top tricks: one has bid. spade, three hearts, one diamond (given trick one) and one club. You need three more tricks from somewhere. Well, if the spade finesse is winning, you can get the extra winners there. Or if the club king is onside, you can successfully

Dear Dr. Gott: This is in regard to your article about the 15-year-old with chronic abdominal pain. Why didn’t you think of celiac disease? My granddaughter was diagnosed at age 6 after developing severe abdominal pain. She managed her DR. PETER celiac and is doing very GOTT well on a gluten-free diet. Dear Reader: Your letter is just one of many I have received about this young girl’s problem. Celiac disease (also known as celiac sprue, nontropical sprue and gluten-sensitive enteropathy) is a digestive disorder. These people cannot tolerate the protein gluten, which is found in wheat, rye and barley. These grains are present in many foods, even some nonfood items, such as vitamins and medications. Celiac is sort of a doublewhammy. It is both an autoimmune disorder and a malabsorption disease. It is considered autoimmune because in the presence of gluten, the body overreacts and begins destroying the villi. These tiny, finger-like projections line the intestine and allow nutrients to be absorbed into the bloodstream. This is where celiac is also considered a malabsorption disease, because without healthy villi, the body cannot take in proper amounts of nutrients regardless of how much food is consumed. Celiac can be difficult to di-

The eastern U.S. will kick off the work-week with more snow on Monday as the strong weekend winter storm of the Great Lakes lifts northeastward into southeastern Canada. Soaking rains are expected in northern New England, primarily Maine, before spreading into the Canadian Maritimes. Heavy rainfall will create chances of minor flooding of streams and some rivers. Meanwhile, cold air wrapping around the system will spread across the warm Great Lakes and kick up lake effect snow showers, intense lake effect snow squalls, and freezing spray from much of Michigan and northern Indiana through northwestern Pennsylvania and New York. Lake Effect Snow Warnings are expected to remain over Chautauqua and western Cattaraugus Counties, NY through the mid-week. The most persistent snow bands of this area could dump up to 12 to 18 through Tuesday night. Strong winds and more snowfall over these areas may lead to flight delays, downed tree limbs, and power outages. Behind this system, a very cold airmass will continue to spread across the East on Monday. Temperatures in the Tennessee Valley will drop to about 25 degrees below average, while areas of the Southeast reach near record lows by Tuesday morning. In the West, lingering moisture from a dissipated system will provide more precipitation in the Pacific Northwest, areas of northern California, and northern Idaho on Monday. Expect most of the day\'s precipitation to fall in the form of rain through much of the day. Snow levels will drop later in the day as the mild airmass over the region begins to subside.
