HIGH POINT – The High Point City Council will consider changing the policy used to evaluate some types of zoning cases.

City offi cials presented members of the council’s Planning and Devel-opment Committee on Tuesday with draft revisions to the ordinance that governs conditional zoning.

City Attorney Fred Baggett told the committee that under the cur-rent policy, conditional use zoning

cases could be vulner-able to court challeng-es in some instances where a zoning map amendment or condi-tional use permit for a project is being sought. Such cases involve “quasi-judicial” pro-

ceedings – hearings in which those who speak before the council or Planning and Zoning Commission must give sworn testimony and the council or commission must base its decision or recommendation on

“fi ndings of fact” from the hearing.Case law has made it clear that the

fi ndings – such as a proposed use’s impact on the value of adjoining properties and the impact of traffi c on public safety – must be proven by expert testimony. This apparently wasn’t done in some past cases.

“It’s unnatural. It’s an awkward process. Quasi-judicial proceed-ings try to make zoning cases into something scientifi c. It’s always been a policy decision,” Baggett

Council looks at overhaul of zoning rulesPROCEDURES—More cities are begin-ning to adopt zoning procedures that move away from quasi-ju-dicial proceedings in an effort to adapt to evolving laws govern-ing land use. City plan-ners said Greensboro, Raleigh and Charlotte are among the cities that have adopted rules similar to those being considered by High Point.

GUILFORD COUNTY – As the state bud-get gap widens, local governments can expect to face reduced allocations again this year, a budget expert told county commissioners Thursday.

Although the “Great Recession” may be over, the economy won’t re-cover fast enough to help pay the bills, said Elaine Mejia, director of the non-profi t N.C. Budget and Tax Center. Revenue projections are down by $100 million so far and the revenue short-fall could grow to as much as $800 mil-lion by June 30, she said.

“The source to recover the fastest is the income tax,” Mejia said. “Sales tax recovery will take a long time. Most economists say it will take a long time for the economy to recover.”

Overall, county sales tax revenues remain stagnant at depressed levels, County Manager Brenda Jones-Fox told the Board of Commissioners dur-ing a retreat.

“The sales tax revenues are down by $1.3 million and the property tax is in line with what we expected,” she said.

Commissioners scheduled the bud-get briefi ngs as part of their goal to pass a 2011 budget with no tax in-crease, if possible. Last June, com-missioners passed a $586 million budget with no tax increase and level funding for the school district opera-tions at $175 million. Commissioners could see the manager’s recommend-ed 2011 budget as soon as April 15.

Mejia said she expects Gov. Beverly Perdue will have “to fi nd resources” to cover the budget gap as Medicaid and health care costs increase be-cause legislators used one-time fi xes to balance the budget.

“The General Assembly may want the counties to absorb some costs,” Mejia said. “You’ll have to keep close tabs on the money.”

The county will need to pay more than $20 million to service debts for school construction projects, a new downtown Greensboro jail annex and expansions at Guilford Techni-cal Community College.

“It is tough times,” Jones-Fox said. “We have had to say no, and we ex-pect to make more adjustments. We will be looking at mandated and non-mandated services to see what we have to fund and what we don’t.”

HIGH POINT – Trinity offi -cials will discuss several mat-ters and projects in the city during an all-day work ses-sion this weekend.

The Trinity City Council will hold its annual retreat Saturday at the Courtyard Marriott in High Point at 1000 Mall Loop Road. The meeting begins at 8:30 a.m. and lasts until discussion is concluded.

The retreat is designed to give council members a chance to discuss topics more in-depth in a less formal set-ting, according to Ann Bailie, city manager.

“It’s an opportunity to talk about the issues and provide some direction to staff de-pending on what the topic is,” she said. “Sitting around a table enhances the discussion back and forth, whereas regu-lar City Council meetings are fairly formal.”

One issue council members will discuss at the retreat is

recycling. Because Trinity does not offer a public trash or recycling collection ser-vice, the topic has been ap-proached at several meetings since North Carolina’s plastic bottle ban, restricting certain plastic bottles from landfi lls, went into effect in October.

“We had a big public meet-ing last April about trash and recycling when the ban was passed,” she said. “At that time, we decided not to make

any changes. We’re going to take another look and see if we want to do anything there.”

A controversial truck ordi-nance also will be discussed, Bailie said.

Enforcement of the ordi-nance, which prohibits the parking of large trucks, in-cluding cab and trailer, cab only and/or trailer in residen-tial neighborhoods, was sus-pended last year after several residents made complaints.

“We’re working to revise the ordinance to give it a lit-tle more balance,” she said. “Staff has been working on a proposal that will address many of the issues (with the ordinance) that will at least be a starting point for the council’s discussion.”

The meeting is open to the public, but there will be no public comment period. Gin-ger Booker, assistant director of the Piedmont Triad Council of Governments, will direct the meeting.


Trinity offi cials to discuss recycling, truck ordinance

RETREAT—The Trinity City Council Retreat begins at 8:30 a.m. Saturday at the Courtyard Marriott in High Point at 1000 Mall Loop Road. Top-ics such as recycling and a truck ordinance will be discussed throughout the day. It is scheduled to end at 4:15 p.m., but it could end earlier, organizers said. No action is expected to be taken.

said. “We’ve been lucky. If some of (the council’s) decisions had been chal-lenged, I would have lost.”

The draft revisions would do away with required fi ndings but would institute several factors an applicant for a conditional zoning district would have to take into account, such as compatibility, devel-opment standards and the impact on adjacent lands, the environment and public facilities.

They would include factors for the council and commission to con-sider in reviewing an application, as well as conduct guidelines, such as the need to keep and open mind and not make a commitment prior to the public hearing.

“I see a list like thiswhere there are nohard guidelines and ...it seems more muddy tome,” Councilman BillBencini said of the draftrevisions. “The way itis now, we’ve got threefi ndings, and if the fi nd-ings are met, there’s nota whole lot of policy dis-cussion that goes on.”

HIGH POINT – Authorities are inves-tigating a small fi re at a local high school they say was set intentionally.

The High Point Fire Department re-sponded to a call at 4:01 p.m. Thursday at High Point Central High School, according to Julian King, battalion chief with the fi re department. The fi re began in a bathroom on the third fl oor of the school. No one was injured in the fi re, which quickly was put out by fi refi ghters.

It was determined that the fi re was intentionally set, King said, and an investigation is under way.

“We are sure the fi re was inten-tionally set, though we don’t know who did it or why,” he said. “The

fi re marshal is looking at security tapes.”

King said the fi re began when sev-eral pieces of paper were ignited in a bathroom stall and in the closet of the bathroom. He said “very minimal damage” was done to the school, and it shouldn’t interfere with students’ daily activities.

School was not in session at the time of the fi re, but the fi re department and the High Point Police Department evacuated remaining students and faculty in the school.

Adults and faculty were allowed to enter the fi rst and second fl oors of the school around 4:30 p.m. to retrieve any belongings. The third fl oor remained closed on Thursday evening.

RALEIGH (AP) – After interviews with former Gov. Mike Easley and his ex-security chief, an outside group of attor-neys found no evidence anyone destroyed in-tentionally or hid state Highway Patrol records for Easley’s travel in 2005.

Gov. Beverly Perdue’s offi ce on Thursday re-leased the report she requested in August from the three lawyers — former U.S. Sen. Rob-ert Morgan, ex-state Supreme Court Justice Willis Whichard and former Court of Appeals Judge Ralph Walker.

The panel talked with Easley, patrol Capt. Alan Melvin, who was head of Easley’s secu-rity detail from 2003 to 2007, and a patrol ad-ministrative assistant among others.

“While we found mi-nor inconsistencies in the stories about the records, we did not fi nd the records themselves or any clear indica-

tion of wrongdoing in their disappearance or destruction,” the nine-page report said.

The records were dis-covered missing as fed-eral authorities probed Easley’s airline fl ights as part of a criminal investigation of activi-ties surrounding him and fi rst lady Mary Easley. Separately, the State Board of Elec-tions ordered Easley’s campaign committee in October to pay $100,000 for failing to report doz-ens of airplane fl ights piloted by former po-litical ally McQueen Campbell.

The report followed two patrol reviews about the records that determined Melvin had not intended to destroy or remove the records. Perdue created the panel after administra-tive assistant Diane Bumgardner said Mel-vin had told her to put fl ight records on a disk to save computer space.

Investigators couldn’t

recover the records af-ter their removal from the hard drive.

“I fi nd it unacceptable that the records were not properly archived,” Perdue said in a release. Last year she ordered new safeguards for re-taining patrol records.

Melvin, on adminis-trative duty pending the outcome of the inves-tigation, will return to full duty Friday in the patrol’s research and planning unit, patrol spokesman Capt. Ever-ett Clendenin said.

According to the re-port, Easley talked to the attorneys Dec. 16 and said he didn’t even know that the patrol had kept such information. He suggested it may have been lost while his fam-ily moved out of the Ex-ecutive Mansion, where troopers also worked, for renovations in 2005.

“It was his view that if anything is amiss, it was simply a mistake on someone’s part,” the report said.

Lawyers fi nd no wrongdoingin Easley travel case

RALEIGH (AP) – North Carolina’s longest-serving lawmaker was indicted Thursday on a charge of shooting a former client authorities said kicked in the front door of the law-maker’s home last sum-mer.

A grand jury on Thurs-day indicted state Sen.

R.C. Soles, D-Columbus, on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon infl ict-ing serious injury. The indictment alleges Soles “unlawfully, willfully and feloniously” shot Thomas Kyle Blackburn with a handgun on Aug. 23.

Authorities have said Soles, 75, shot Blackburn

after two intruders kicked in the front door of the lawmaker’s secluded Ta-bor City home. Blackburn, 22, wasn’t badly hurt.

Soles did not return a call seeking comment Thursday. His attorney, Joe Cheshire, said Soles “was acting in defense of himself and his home”

when he shot Blackburn.The felony charge car-

ries a maximum of two years and seven months in prison if a defendant has no prior criminal re-cord.

The state constitution would disqualify Soles from public offi ce if he is convicted of the felony.

Listed are a few facts you don’t read about the recently passed 2,074-page Senate Obamacare bill. They are:

• New taxes will start immedi-ately, but 98 percent of benefi ts will not start until 2014. Whatever happened to the urgent need to provide individuals and fami-lies with health care who do not have it ASAP? Could it be Obama wants to get elected again?

• Medicare is slashed by $470 bil-lion, including cuts to Medicare home health care services. These are the cuts the Congressional Budget Offi ce says will “reduce access to care or diminish the quality of care” for seniors.

• Congress and staff are exempt from Obamacare.

• Medicare Advantage is cut $120 billion for seniors except Florida.

• Raises taxes by $518 billion, in-cluding new taxes on the middle-class, new taxes on wheelchairs, pacemakers, heart valves, and other medical devices, and new taxes on individuals and employ-ers who do not retain the type of

health care plans that Washington dictates.

• Creates an Independent Medi-care Advisory Board (IMAB) of non-elected government bureau-crats, empowered to cut Medicare providers limited access to care for seniors.

• Forces a huge unfunded fed-eral mandate on states to expand Medicaid, with the exception of those states where Democrat senators cut “sleazy sweetheart deals” with Obama and Reed us-ing bribes to buy their votes.

• For the fi rst time ever, health insurance will be required or individuals will face fi nes or jail time. The IRS will be the enforcer.

• Levies a new “abortion pre-mium” fee on all Americans to provide elective abortion services. Stupak pro-life amendment may change Senate abortion language. Abortion is not health care.

• Reduces funding to Children’s hospitals by $876 million dollars.

Urban University teaching hospi-tals also will be severely affected.

Facts don’t lie. This is a very bad bill, especially for seniors.

REGIS KLINETrinity

Approve bill that addresses

real health care issues

It was supposed to be about access to health coverage for a purported 47 million Americans. Then all the special deals started to be cut and now our state is pay-ing for the increase in Medicaid costs in our state and Louisiana and Nebraska.

If it took special side deals struck behind closed doors to “buy” the key votes of the sena-tors from Nebraska and Louisi-ana, is it really about access to coverage? It sure appears to be about winning, about maintain-

ing President Obama’s image and about consolidating control over key aspects of our lives under federal government authority.

Isn’t it time to start over and actually focus on the root causes of health care costs and coverage as opposed to centralized control?

YOUR VIEW---

I f human activity got us into the mess, can human activity can get us out?

I refer to “SuperFreakonomics,” a hugely entertaining book by University of Chicago economist Steven Levitt and co-au-thor Stephen Dubner.

Levitt and Dubner mine cold, hard econom-ic and scientifi c data to arrive at some offbeat conclusions.

The two tackled this bold question: What is the cheapest, fastest way to cool the Earth?

The question assumes, of course, that hu-man activity is a primary cause of long-term warming; the Earth has warmed over the past 100 years, though it has cooled recently.

The point: Supposing the Earth got so hot that the doomsday scenarios some are selling were to come true, what could we do about it?

Levitt and Dubner’s research led them to a group of inventors in Bellevue, Wash., at a company called Intellectual Ventures (IV).

The IV guys are no kooks.IV was founded in 2000 by Nathan

Myhrvold, formerly chief technology offi cer of Microsoft. The company has raised $5 billion to invent all kinds of cool solutions, such as clean, cheap forms of energy.

The IV guys suspect human activity has con-tributed to warming – we humans have been burning lots of fossil fuels for a few hundred years now.

They also think that global-warming rhetoric in the media and political circles is oversimplifi ed and exaggerated.

They think the current generation of climate-prediction models is “enormously crude” – that there is an enormous amount of natural phenomena the models can’t account for, such as water vapor, the biggest green-house gas.

They think the conventional wisdom on how to resolve any potential problems is:

• Too little: Conservation efforts, such as wind power, won’t cut it.

• Too late: Even if we stopped emitting car-bon dioxide today, the carbon we’ve already emitted will stay in the atmosphere for 100 years.

• Too optimistic: It is way too hopeful to be-lieve humans will seriously cut carbon emis-

sions, as our friends in China demonstrate on a daily basis.

So, supposing human activity were to lead to cataclysm, what could we do?

We could mimic the effects of a giant volcano!

When Mt. Pinatubo erupted in the Philippines in 1991, it pumped millions of tons of sulfur dioxide into the strato-sphere, the area seven miles above the Earth’s surface.

The sulfur dioxide absorbed water vapor and formed an aerosol cloud that rapidly blanketed the globe. The hazy blanket refl ected the sun, causing the Earth to cool.

Thus, IV has proposed a contraption – a giant garden hose, of sorts – that could be lifted high into the air with helium balloons. It could pump sulfur dioxide directly into the stratosphere.

It sounds like something from the Willy Wonka chocolate factory, but it would likely work. And it would be cheap – a total cost of $250 million. That’s less than the U.S. govern-ment spends every hour.

Levitt and Dubner have been assailed by some for oversimplifying a complex matter, when all they were trying to do was answer a simple question: What is the cheapest, fastest way to cool the Earth?

In any event, while some prophesy gloom and doom – that the Earth will erupt into a fi ery ball unless we spend trillions to drasti-cally cut greenhouse gas emissions – I place my hope in human invention and ingenuity.

I’m betting someone will invent clean, cheap energy that will end our carbon worries forever.

Hey, maybe the IV guys will invent an SUV that runs on kangaroo droppings.

Unlike cow droppings, say Levitt and Dub-ner, kangaroo doo is methane-free.

W hile the Copenhagen climate con-fab was in full force last month trying to make the U.S. feel guilty

for becoming the world’s leading developed nation, the National Wildlife Federation released a 22-page report that should inter-est anyone seeking a practical response to concerns about global climate change.

As those gathered in Copenhagen argued over tactics for transferring wealth of de-veloped nations to undeveloped nations, the Wildlife Federation was promoting a proposal that actually would help the en-vironment – planting longleaf pines in the Southeastern U.S. to revive the species of tree that once dominated the Southeast’s landscape.

The NWF report, although heavy in climate change doomsday speculation, highlights the many environmental and economic pluses that longleaf pine refor-estation represent. More information is available at www.nwf.org/longleafpine.

OUR VIEW---

W e can’t tell if First Bank came up with the idea on its own or picked it up from another fi nancial insti-

tution and adopted it, but it’s a good one!First Bank, working with SHARE of

North Carolina Inc., will donate a local foreclosed home for a low- to moderate-in-come family, with the offi cial transfer of property set to take place today .

SHARE’s Web site claims it is a “nonprof-it created to provide counseling, homeown-er education and affordable housing to de-serving low- to moderate-income families.” SHARE has successfully implemented its program in High Point’s West Macedonia area and has similar programs in place in the West End and Southside communities.

Hats off to Joe Youngblood, senior vice president and area executive for First Bank, for coming up with the business mod-el that well may be replicated throughout the Troy-based First Bank organization. Donating the foreclosed house, which will be renovated prior to resale, is much bet-ter use for the property than for the bank to “sit on it” for months until the economy and real estate situations improve.

Hopefully, other fi nancial institutions will consider following the model.

ISTANBUL (AP) – A Jordanian doctor-turned-suicide bomber who killed seven CIA em-ployees at a base in Af-ghanistan is regarded by his family as a martyr in Islam’s holy war against the United States, his wife said Thursday.

Covered in a black Islamic chador, Defne Bayrak, the Turkish wife of bomber Humam Khalil Abu-Mulal al-Balawi, lauded her husband’s Dec. 30 attack to Turkish

journalistsin Istanbul.

“I amproud ofhim; myhusband hascarried out agreat opera-tion in such

a war. May God accept hismartyrdom,” Bayrak toldthe Dogan news agency.

She later told thestate-run Anatolia newsagency: “My husbanddid this against the U.S.invasion.”

Yemen says Nigerian may

have met radical clericSAN’A, Yemen (AP) – Yemen on

Thursday provided the most com-prehensive account yet of contacts between al-Qaida and the Nigerian accused of trying to blow up a U.S. airliner, saying he may have met with a radical U.S.-born cleric who previously had contact with the al-leged Fort Hood shooter.

In the weeks before the attempted airliner attack, Umar Farouk Abdul-mutallab met with al-Qaida opera-tives in a remote mountainous region that was later hit in an airstrike that targeted a gathering of the group’s top leaders, Yemen’s deputy prime minister said.

The account by Rashad al-Alimi, who oversees security issues in the government, fi lled in some of the blanks. Among those he may have met with was the U.S.-born radical cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, who has also been linked to the gunman who killed 13 people at Fort Hood in November.

Israel complains about Palestinian ’incitement’JERUSALEM – Israel has complained to the U.S.

over what it called incitement to violence and glorifi -cation of militants by the Western-backed Palestinian government, a senior offi cial said Thursday.

The offi cial denounced the naming of a square in the West Bank city of Ramallah after Dalal Mughrabi, one of the hijackers of an Israeli bus in 1978, when 38 Israelis were killed. The Israeli offi cial expressed “disappointment” that Palestinian President Mah-moud Abbas lent his name to the ceremony.

EU nations divided on use of airport body scannersBRUSSELS – Fearing a rift with the United States,

the European Union said Thursday it may force resistant member states to use the full-body scanners being pushed by the Obama administration in the wake of the failed Christmas Day bombing.

Britain, the Netherlands and Italy already have joined Washington in announcing plans to install more of the devices – which can “see” through cloth-ing – in the aftermath of the attempt to blow up a Northwest Airlines fl ight from Amsterdam to Detroit.

Zelaya: Charges against army offi cers ’a trick’TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras – Ousted Honduran

President Manuel Zelaya said Thursday that charg-ing military commanders with abuse of power is “a trick” to avoid punishing them for the June 28 coup.

Zelaya said the nation’s top prosecutor is trying to avoid bringing to justice the army offi cers who rousted him out of his home at gunpoint and other offi cials who planned and ordered his ouster from the presidency.

KABUL (AP) – Thou-sands of Afghans shouting “Death to America!” pro-tested the killings of chil-dren Thursday, the latest in a string of controversial cases in which internation-al forces have been blamed for civilian deaths.

U.S. Gen. Stanley McChrys-tal has ordered troops to use airstrikes judiciously and fire cautiously to reduce ci-vilian casualties. Still, each new report of civilians killed unleashes raw emotions that highlight a growing impa-tience with NATO forces.

Egyptians riot after 7 killed in church attackCAIRO – Thousands of Egyptian Christians went on

a rampage Thursday after six members of their ancient community were gunned down as they left midnight Mass for Coptic Christmas in a southern town.

A Muslim guard was also killed, and nine others wounded, including three in serious condition. The eruption of violence in Nag Hamadi, a mixed Chris-tian-Muslim town with a history of religious tensions, served as a reminder of the government’s chronic failure to address sectarian strains in the society at a time when Islamic militancy is gaining ground.

DAVIDSON COUNTY – A Davidson County man faces a sexual assault charge after the family of the alleged vic-tim reported an incident to authorities.

According to the sheriff’s offi ce, a woman told inves-tigators an unknown male was found in her home by her son without her knowl-edge on Jan. 3.

An investigation revealed the woman’s 15-year-old daughter had met a person

over the Internet and be-friended him, deputies said. The two communicated over the Internet and by phone for a couple of months.

The girl invited the man to her home and let him inside by way of a bed-room window, according to the sheriff’s offi ce. The two allegedly had consen-sual sex, which led to the man’s arrest.

Jacob Michael Stan-dard, 22, of Lanier Drive, Lexington, was charged with statutory rape and jailed under a $250,000 bond, deputies said.

In an unrelated case, de-tectives with the sheriff’s Vice & Narcotics Unit, along with members of the Denton Police Depart-ment, conducted a drug investigation at 801 Lofl in Road last week.

Detectives arrested Jef-frey Franklin Younts on charges of possession with intent to sell and deliver marijuana, main-taining a dwelling for a controlled substance and possession of drug para-phernalia, according to the sheriff’s offi ce.

Younts, 44, was jailed under a $15,000 bond.

HIGH POINT – The propri-etors of a restaurant that graces downtown Salisbury plan to open their fi rst loca-tion in High Point.

Renovations have begun at the former Pizzaria Uno building in north High Point for the restaurant D.J.’s. The new restaurant will be in the Wendover Landing development off of Eastchester Drive between Wendover Avenue and Hickswood Road.

A manager at the D.J.’s in Salisbury confi rmed that the business will open

in High Point, though a spokesman for D.J.’s who could provide more details couldn’t be reached for com-ment Thursday by The High Point Enterprise.

D.J.’s features an eclectic menu, including Italian, Greek, American, pizza, steak and seafood menu items. The restaurant space that D.J.’s will occupy has been vacant since Pizzaria Uno closed its High Point lo-cation three years ago.

The opening of a new restaurant at Wendover Landing reverses recent developments on the din-ing front there. This past fall, the Greensboro-based

parent company of J. But-ler’s Bar & Grille closed its Wendover Landing location as part of a restructuring of the company. J. Butler’s still maintains a location in south High Point along S. Main Street.

On Jan. 1, the local owner of Aquaria Seafood Grill closed the restaurant in Wendover Landing. The owner plans a new type of restaurant for 2010, though he told the Enterprise last week that he’s not sure if the new establishment will be in the former Aquaria location.


Restaurant to fi ll Pizzaria Uno location


The inside of the former Pizzaria Uno restaurant has been gutted. A remodeling process has begun for the new D.J.’s restaurant in the Wendover Landing develop-ment off Eastchester Drive.

The girl invited the man to her home and let him inside by way of a bedroom window, according to the sheriff’s offi ce.

Max Meeks, 84, a local legend of the radio airwaves, was honored at a retirement party at the String and Splinter this week. Host of the popular “Max in the Morning” radio show on WMFR-AM, Meeks ended his broadcasting career in High Point, which began in 1947, with a fi nal show on Jan. 1. The retirement party, hosted by Tom Hamilton, NewsTalk 1230 WMFR and 600/1200 WSJS general man-ager, featured several speakers, including colleagues, family members and local business leaders. He also was presented the Key to the City by High Point Mayor Becky Smothers. Meeks is shown with his wife, Nancy, as he greets Sue Hamilton (right).

LEGENDARY FAREWELL

TRIAD – Bridges in the Triad re-main among the top substandard spans in North Carolina, though a report released Thursday by AAA Carolinas shows the state is making progress overall in bridge repair and replacement.

A 54-year-old bridge in Guil-ford County carrying more than 117,000 vehicles daily is rated North Carolina’s top substandard bridge for the third consecutive year, according to AAA Caroli-nas’ annual survey. The bridge is on Interstate 40-85 over South Buffalo Creek in Greensboro. Of the 20 top substandard bridges in the state, half are in the Triad in either Guilford or Forsyth coun-ties.

None of the substandard bridges poses an immediate threat to mo-torists, AAA Carolinas reports. Substandard bridges are classi-fi ed as structurally defi cient or functionally obsolete. Structur-ally defi cient means the bridge is in relatively poor physical condi-tion or inadequate to handle cer-tain truck weights, while func-tionally obsolete means the span has inadequate design for traffi c volumes.

AAA Carolinas, which has ranked North Carolina substan-dard bridges for 13 years, said state offi cials did make progress during 2009 addressing substan-dard spans.

“This is the first year since 1997 the Department of Transporta-tion has been able to reduce the number of North Carolina’s sub-standard bridges to less than 30 percent (28.5 percent) of the state’s 18,265 bridges. This im-provement has occurred despite inadequate funding in an era of budget shortfall,” AAA Carolinas reports.

State offi cials took advantage of the American Recovery and Rein-vestment Act, known commonly as the federal stimulus, to appro-priate about $12 million for bridge repairs and about $43 million for replacing 44 bridges in the state.

The stimulus spending was in addition to the DOT’s funding of about $180 million each year from federal aid in the Transportation Improvement Program for bridge replacements, AAA Carolinas re-ports.

AAA Carolinas fi gures show 30 percent of the 649 bridges in Guil-ford County are rated as substan-dard. In Davidson County, 24 per-cent of the 350 bridges surveyed are listed as substandard, while in Randolph County 29 percent of the 371 bridges are classifi ed substan-dard, AAA Carolinas reports.


Triad bridges among NC’s most substandard

AT A GLANCE—Ten bridges in Guilford and For-

syth counties are among the top 20 substandard bridges in the state, as listed by AAA Carolinas. They are:• Bridge over South Buffalo Creek on Interstate 40-85 in Greensboro

• Bridge over Liberty Street on I-40 business in Winston-Salem

• Bridge over State Road 1452 on U.S. 220 in Guilford County

• Bridge over Little Creek on U.S. 421 in Forsyth County

• Bridge over 28th Street on U.S. 52 in Winston-Salem

• Bridge over State Road 4315 on U.S. 52/311 in Forsyth County

• Bridge over Southern Railroad tracks on U.S. 220 in Guilford County

• Bridge over Salem Creek on I-40 business in Winston-Salem

• Bridge over 25th Street on U.S. 52 in Winston-Salem

• Bridge over Yanceyville Street on U.S. 220 in Guilford County

Boys dread two more years of high school harassment

D ear Abby: I am a short, 5-foot-5-inch high school

sophomore. I am small-boned and my voice is high-pitched. I’m terrible at sports, and physi-cal education class is a nightmare. I have become friends with another guy, “Rick,” who is much like me, and it helps to have someone who has similar problems.

Because Rick and I hang out together, some of the macho guys have started a rumor that we’re gay, and now everyone in the school thinks it’s true. Our PE teacher has even made comments to this effect, which compounds the problem.

Rick and I are shunned and have even been physically attacked because of this. We are not gay. We are just good friends who share com-mon problems. We are interested in girls, but they aren’t interested in us. When I try to say I’m not gay, they say, “Then who is your girlfriend?” When I tell them I don’t have one, they laugh at me.

Rick and I are both “A” students. We keep telling ourselves that we will succeed where some of the macho guys who are obvious losers will not, and we’ll have the last laugh. However, this is still a terrible situation for us, and we can’t stand

the thought of another two years like this. Please help. – Sopho-more in Sacra-mento

Dear Sopho-more: If you and

your friend haven’t already told your parents what’s going on, do so immediately. Then you and your parents should pay a visit to the school principal to report that you have been attacked by other students and misidentifi ed as gay not only by your peers, but also by a member of the staff.

It appears that both staff and student body in your school need to be educated about the fact that discrimination, as-sault and hate crimes are illegal. And if the harass-ment is not stopped im-mediately, your families should take this matter to a lawyer.

Dear Abby: My

38-year-old married daughter’s house is fi lthy. Her youngest is now in the hospital with pneumonia, and her two other kids are sick all the time. They are constantly coughing, have runny noses, fever and ear infections. I

have tried talking to her regarding her house-keeping but she doesn’t want to hear anything I have to say.

Her husband has convinced her that they have “more important things to be concerned with” than a clean house. He says they have love, and a clean house doesn’t matter. The oldest girl is 11, and she tells me she’s embarrassed to have anyone visit her. She has no friends (nor does my daughter) and I am afraid her life will go down along with my daugh-ter’s. Can you help me to help them? – Grandma in South Carolina

Dear Grandma: My fi rst suggestion is to hire someone to clean your daughter’s house once a month, if that’s doable. The second is to discuss your very real concerns with the doctor who is treating your grandchild for pneumonia. While your son-in-law may think that a house fi lled with love doesn’t have to be clean, if it’s so dirty it is hazardous to the health of the children who live there, he is seriously mistaken.

Dear Abby: I have an

etiquette question my friends and I are wonder-ing about. What is an ap-propriate response when you fi nd out someone is expecting but she doesn’t

want to be? “Congratula-tions” doesn’t seem right, but neither does, “You have my sympathy.” I feel lost when this situ-ation comes up. Do you have any ideas? – Melissa in Kansas

Dear Melissa: How about, “I heard the news. If there is anything you need, please let me know.” DEAR ABBY is written by Abi-gail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.Dear-Abby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

APPLAUSE---Bank employees show their generosity

I am writing to recog-nize a special group of people within our com-munity. Recently, the employees at the Bank of North Carolina on Elm Street in High Point ex-tended their generosity to a local family in need and provided them with a Christmas that they otherwise would not have had. Of their own accord, the employees there ral-lied together and gave of themselves to ensure that others would have a won-derful Christmas. I am proud to have such a car-ing group of people in our community, and I think it is indicative of a bank that really cares about its community. Thank you, Bank of North Carolina; your altruism was an an-swer to prayer.

All About Our Blood! Blood is the fluid that all creatures need in order to sustain life. It is impossible to live without it. Blood travels to every cell in the body through the circulatory system, and it is respon-sible for many vital functions, such as delivering oxygen, tak-ing carbon dioxide away, feeding different parts of our bodies with the nutrients we get from our food, and helping to heal our wounds when we are injured. Each person has roughly five a half liters of blood in their body. Blood is comprised of water, red cells, white cells, platelets, and plasma. Red

blood cells are responsible for carrying the oxygen and carbon dioxide throughout the body, while the white blood cells are the ones that fight off foreign invaders, such as bacteria and viruses when we are sick. Platelets are responsible for clotting our wounds and creating a scab when in-juries occur. Plasma is what is left over in the blood, such as water and the nutrients and minerals moving around from cell to cell in the body. Human blood is referred to as ABO or ABO Blood Group. There are four distinct types found in humans: A, B, AB, and O. The difference in types of blood is found in the red blood cells; some cells possess an antigen, or protein, on the surface. In case of emergencies, doctors can give patients blood donated by other people to victims in need, as long as they are compatible. People with blood type O are called universal donors. Their blood can be given to anyone, since there are no antibodies against other blood types found in their blood, but they can only receive O in return. People with AB blood are called universal recipients, as they can take any other blood type. Types A and B must receive their exact type, or type O. The Rh factor refers to whether a person’s blood is designated as positive or negative. Again, this is determined by the presence or absence of an antigen, or protein. People with Rh positive blood can receive donations from those without it, but not vice versa. January is National Blood Donor Awareness Month. Talk to your parents and ask them if they donate blood. In most states, you must be 17 years old and weigh 110 pounds in order to donate. Remember that giving blood saves lives!

Blood Circulation MazeThe human circulatory system is much like a maze, with our blood running through it to deliver food and oxygen to all parts of our bodies, while taking

away carbon dioxide and waste at the same time. Complete the maze below.

Intense face pain due to nerve disorder

D ear Dr. Donohue: My mother was diagnosed with

trigeminal neuralgia sev-eral years ago. When the symptoms occur, she is in extreme pain. What are some treatment options? How about acupuncture or Chinese herbs? She has taken medicines, but they make her light-headed and sleepy. She is resistant to taking any kind of medicine. – N.G.

The trigeminal nerve sends facial sensations to the brain. Trigeminal neuralgia, also called tic douloureux, is a malfunc-tion of that nerve that causes horrifi c attacks of facial pain. The attacks last from a few seconds to 10 minutes, and occur daily, every few days or at longer intervals. People suffering from this malady, however, are always on the edge of their seats, waiting for the next jolt of pain. A gentle breeze on the cheek, washing the face, shaving, brushing the teeth, eating, talking and hundreds of other innocu-ous stimuli can trigger paroxysms of pain.

I don’t know if your mother has tried all the medicines. How about Te-gretol (carbamazepine), Lioresal (baclofen), and Neurontin (gabapentin)? I don’t believe acupunc-ture or herbs will help.

A surgical approach has been a godsend for patients. It’s microvas-cular decompression.

In most sufferers, the cause of pain is a pulsating artery that encircles the tri-geminal nerve. The artery’s pulsations stimulate the painful

attacks. A neurosurgeon can place spongelike ma-terial between the artery and nerve to stop the stimulation. It’s a very successful operation.

Or the nerve can be treated with targeted ra-diation. The gamma knife is an example. People go home right after the treatment.

The nerve also can be put out of commis-sion with injections of alcohol or glycerol, or be compressed with a bal-loon. Your mom needs to contact the Facial Pain Association, formerly the Trigeminal Neuralgia As-sociation, for more infor-mation and support. The association’s Web site is: www.fpa-support.org.

Dear Dr. Donohue: My daughter frequently gets water on her knees and has to have them drained. Is there any way to keep this from happen-ing? – C.V.

I have to know what her diagnosis is. Wa-ter on the knee can be housemaid’s knee, a knee

bursa swollen with fl uid. People who are on their knees a lot irritate the bursa, and it fi lls with fl uid. Rest, protective padding and nonsteroi-dal anti-infl ammatory drugs (Aleve, Advil) oftencan end the problem. In resistant cases, the bursa is removed.

Or she could have arthritic knees. In that case, arthritis treatment has to be instituted. Again, medicines such as the anti-infl ammatory drugs can be a big help.

How about writing back and giving me her diagnosis?

Dear Dr. Donohue: Af-ter tests for an unrelated problem, it was discov-ered that my daughter, 11 years old, has only one kidney. She has no kidney problems – no signs or symptoms. What are her chances of living normally? – C.T.

Nature has been boun-tiful to us in giving us two kidneys. We do well with one. In fact, we do well even with just part of one. Your daughter’s lifespan and health should be no different from that of a person with two kidneys. DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual let-ters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible. Readers may write him or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475

NATION, NOTABLES

LOS ANGELES (AP) – Mariah Carey jokingly blames her loony accep-tance speech at the Palm Springs International Film Festival awards on director Lee Daniels.

“The thing is me and Lee hadn’t see each other in a long time, and then he was presenting my award, so he starts off immediate-ly with inside jokes,” Car-ey said backstage at the People’s Choice Awards Wednesday night, where she was named favorite R&B artist.

“We had splashes of champagne, and I love Lee but he’s a bad infl u-ence,” the singer said and laughed.

Carey gave a long, ram-bling acceptance speech after being named Break-through Actress for her performance in “Precious: Based on the Novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire” on Tuesday.

The 39-year-old says she was rushing to receive the honor and didn’t eat enough.

Mariah Carey justifi es speech

ASPEN, Colo. (AP) – A Colorado judge has ruled that actor Charlie Sheen must appear in person at a hearing in Aspen on al-legations he threatened his wife with a knife.

Pitkin County Chief Deputy District Attor-ney Arnold Mordkin said Thursday the judge denied a request by the actor’s lawyers that he should be allowed to participate on Feb. 8 by phone.

Mordkin says prosecu-tors did not take a posi-tion on the request.

Sheen was arrested in Aspen on Christmas Day on suspicion of felony menacing, domestic vio-lence and other charges. Brooke Sheen told po-lice he put a knife to her throat and threatened to kill her.

Sheen denies threaten-ing his wife with a knife.

Attorneys for both h u s b a n d and wife say they want to try to recon-cile.

The 44-year-old actor stars in “Two and a Half Men” on CBS.

Agent Robert Malcolm says the 41-year-old Cole-man was released from a Los Angeles hospital Wednesday night. He was taken there by ambulance earlier in the day after feeling faint and vomiting at a hotel.

Malcolm says he re-turned to the hotel after his release and was to go home later Thursday.

ART CONTEST ---

In April, Ran-dolph Hospital will have several new pieces of artwork hanging in the hospital. Right now, the pieces are “works in progress,” but be sure that each piece will be worthy of a $250 investment that will enhance the education of local high-school artists.

“Because of the outstanding success of the inaugural show we hosted in honor of our 75th Anniversary Cel-ebration in 2006, Randolph Hospital has decided to make this an an-nual event,” says April Thornton, director of public relations and de-velopment at Ran-dolph Hospital.

Open to Asheboro City, Randolph County, private and home-schooled high- school students, the show will feature artwork from fi ve differ-ent categories. The categories include 3-D sec-tion (metalwork, wood and pot-tery), 2-D draw-ing (black and white pencil), 2-D drawing (colored pencil), painting (oils, acrylics) and printmaking all under the theme “Art in Motion.”

On April 30, at a reception at The Exchange in downtown Ashe-boro, a winner from each cat-egory will receive a $250 scholarship to go toward future educa-tional endeavors. In addition, the winning pieces of artwork will be on display at Randolph Hospital for a year.

Students who wish to partici-pate must be in high school and have their work turned in by April 22. For more information, con-tact Lauren Ingold at (336) 633-7755 or email [email protected].

Can-do approachYMCA offers classes, collects food for charity

BY JIMMY TOMLINENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

H IGH POINT – Saturday morning is your opportu-nity to report for “Booty

Camp,” with no obligations.“Booty Camp,” an exercise

class that focuses on toning your, um, “booty,” is one of several sample classes that will be of-fered at the Hartley Drive Family YMCA during the Y’s annual “Get Your Can To Class” event.

The event will take place Sat-urday, beginning at 8:30 a.m., and the only cost to participate is a can of food, which will be

donated to Open Door Minis-tries.

“We used to do this event in December, but we found out that the shelter doesn’t need food donations as much in November and December – they need it after the holidays,” says Kara Loggins, health and fi tness director for the local Y. “We just ask everyone to bring one can of food.”

In exchange for the food dona-tion, participants – YMCA mem-bers and nonmembers alike – can take a 30-minute sample session of one of the Y’s regu-lar fi tness classes – everything from step aerobics and yoga to the aforementioned “Booty Camp.”

The schedule is as follows:• 8:30 a.m. – “Booty Camp”

(which focuses on the gluteals, hip fl exors and extensors) and introduction to cycling.

• 9 a.m. – CORE (focusing on strengthening the back and ab-dominal muscles) and cycling.

• 9:30 a.m. – Step (a low-impact aerobics class that involves stepping up and down on a plat-form while performing choreo-graphic movements to music) and cycling.

WANT TO GO?----“Get Your Can To Class” will be held Saturday, beginning at 8:30 a.m., at the Hartley Drive Family YMCA, 150 W. Hartley Drive.

Thirty-minute sample classes will be offered, including cycling, “booty camp,” step aerobics, power pump, intro-duction to kettlebells, yoga and water exercise.

The event is open to members and nonmembers.

Participants are asked to bring a can of food, which will be donated to Open Door Ministries.

For more information, call the YMCA at 869-0151.

Bill Hartley makes a name in California

S ome of the older folks in the greater High Point area no doubt

remember Bill Hartley, a city native who made all-state in basketball while playing for High Point High School (Class of 1947) and received a scholarship to Wake Forest University, from which he also graduated.

His brother Stewart Hart-ley, who visited with Bill over the holidays, passes along some good news about Bill.

Bill was a U.S. Marine Corps offi cer during the Korean confl ict, became a member of the PGA in 1960 and was head professional at Camp Pendle-

ton for 22 years. He also was director of the fi rst National PGA Golf School No. 2 at Lake San Marcos, Calif. Among his many other honors, he was selected PGA Professional of the Year for Southern Califor-nia in 1976 and Player of the Year, San Diego PGA chapter, in 1976, ’82 and ’83. Bill was president of the San Diego chapter for six years, served as head professional at Palo Alto Municipal and Vista Valley Country Club, where he also was developer and part owner. He has played in a wide variety of professional tournaments – the Bob Hope Classic perhaps the best-known – and, now in his 80s, continues to give in-structions at Center City Golf Course in Oceanside, Calif.

But, the big news is that, on Dec. 6, Bill Hartley was inducted into the Southern California PGA Section Hall of Fame.

Yesterday’s Puzzle SolvedFriday, Jan. 8, 2010CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Ami

Dolenz, 41; R. Kelly, 43; David Bowie, 63; Robby Krieger, 64

HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Work quietly behind the scenes. Completing what you are working on without any interference will enable you to com-plete what you start and take any competitors or meddlers by surprise. It is your show this year and you must not forget that, even if someone tries to pull in the reins and take control of what you are doing. Your numbers are 1, 9, 18, 20, 23, 35, 39

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You will have re-grets if you give anyone control over your situa-tion. Start the ball rolling and you will discover who is 100 percent behind you and who is not. Sur-round yourself with doers, not talkers and slack-ers. ★★★

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Discover new interests, explore professional options, travel for business or pleasure or get involved in a work-shop. Love and romance are in the stars. Share your interests and time with someone special. ★★★

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): There is money to be made but you have to be diligent about the way you spend. Don’t limit your chance to get a big-ticket item you’ve been wanting because you make too many impulse purchases. A colleague or peer will show you how to invest wisely. ★★★

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Plan something entertaining that can lead to a little romance or, at the very least, fun with your friends. The com-pany of others will spark new ideas. A partnership will form with someone whose ideas mirror yours. ★★★★★

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t get sidetracked. You will make a better impression if you put in long hours and fi nish what you started. Someone’s change of plans will cause you to question whether or not you should be dealing with this person. ★★

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The opportunity to make some very successful changes in your life will occur if you get out and network with people who have similar interests. Do not let anyone slow you down. Discard anyone who appears to be hold-ing you back. ★★★★

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don’t limit yourself because you are having trouble getting along. Look at your past goals and you will soon discover a lucrative alternative to your current fi nancial situation. Don’t fall short of your goals because you are emotionally burdened. ★★★

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You really need a change. Consider making a move that will give you greater inspiration or potential. Use your cre-ative talent to the fullest and enlist some of the people you know and trust to help you. ★★★

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’ll have lots of energy to pursue your interests and take on challenges. Rethink your strategy about an emo-tional matter or you could suffer unforeseen con-sequences. Sudden changes at home will leave you in a very vulnerable position. ★★★★★

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You are in the driver’s seat. Take pride in what you have accom-plished and let others see fi rst hand what you are capable of doing. Don’t let a burden tie you down. You will receive help if you ask. ★★★★

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t spend unnecessarily. An investment will turn out to be worth more than anticipated. Making a move will enable you to make new friends who can offer you stability and a much better future. The more you learn, the more you can move forward. ★★

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): An investment you make will help you pull things together with the potential to draw interest and demand. With a little ingenuity and a gentle push, you can make some positive changes to your personal, fi nancial and professional life. ★★★★★

ONE STAR: It’s best to avoid confl icts; work behind the scenes or read a good book. Two stars: You can accomplish but don’t rely on others for help. Three stars: If you focus, you will reach your goals. Four stars: You can pretty much do as you please, a good time to start new projects. Five stars: Nothing can stop you now. Go for the gold.

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

The United States had two teams in the 2009 Ber-muda Bowl. “USA 2” won the world title; “USA 1” failed to qualify for the knockout stage. Still, Pe-ter Boyd of “USA 1” found a memorable defense in today’s deal.

Against three spades, Boyd led the nine of hearts. Declarer took the ace and could have succeeded by fi nessing in clubs next. In-stead, he tried a diamond to his king. Boyd won and found the only return to ruin declarer: the QUEEN of spades.

FIFTH DIAMONDSouth won, ruffed a dia-

mond, led a club to his jack and took the ace. He exited with a diamond, but East took two diamonds. Boyd ruffed the fi fth diamond and won another trump trick with his 8-7-3.

A low trump or a heart by West at Trick Three wouldn’t work. Declarer could reach a position where West would have to ruff something and lead a trump from his queen to South’s A-K-10.

Peter Boyd of Washing-ton, D.C., is more than a fi ne player. In 2009 he re-ceived the ACBL Sports-manship Award for his gentlemanly demeanor.

DAILY QUESTIONYou hold: S A K 10 5 4 H

10 D K 10 7 5 3 C A J. You open one spade, and your partner bids two spades. What do you say?

ANSWER: Bid four spades. Two-suited hands become powerful when a trump fi t is established. You can usually set up your second suit, often with ruffs in dummy. A suitable minimum hand for partner – Q J 6, 8 7 6 5, A 8, 8 7 6 3 – may be enough for 11 tricks. Don’t mention your dia-monds; you’d mention them mostly to the de-fenders.

STANARDSVILLE, Va. (AP) – A judge in Virginia says it’s a draw between two Union and Confeder-ate Civil War re-enactors who got into a tussle on the battlefi eld.

A judge found each man not guilty of assault on Wednesday after they pressed charges against each other over the

dispute last September.The men were playing

cavalry officers in a re-enactment of the Battle of Stanardsville. The Confederate re-enactor claims his Union coun-terpart knocked his hat off.

The Confederate was accused of responding by fi ring a blank round from

his revolver. There was no bullet, but the powder charge injured the Union re-enactor.

Both men were on horseback and both said their actions were accidental. The judge concluded he could not fi nd either man guilty “beyond a reasonable doubt.”

Civil War dispute ends in courtroom stalemate

WHO’S NEWS---

Eric Mangini came up with his biggest win yet.

Mangini will re-turn for a second season as Cleve-land’s coach, a stunning personal victory follow-ing a four-game winning streak by the Browns that may have saved his job. New team president Mike Holmgren decided Thurs-day to retain Mangini, whose job security was in jeopardy after the Browns started 1-11.

Mangini’s staff has been asked to return as well.

Holmgren spent the past two days in meetings with Mangini, who was fi red after last season by the New York Jets.

“I was able to gain some tre-mendous insight into his thought process and philosophies, and came away from our meetings very impressed,” Holmgren said in a statement. “In my opinion, Eric has gained the respect and admiration of players, coaches and others in the organization, and with him continu-ing to lead the team I feel that we are headed in the right direc-tion.”

GETTING READY: Preparations continue for NFL playoffs. 4D

LEGAL ACTION: Leach ready to take Texas Tech to court. 3D

JOBS UP: Reports indicate fi rst decline in unemployment in two years. 5D

T he previous year brought us several words and phrases that I hope we can avoid in 2010.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve had my fi ll of such terms as “Jon and Kate,” “shovel ready” and “tweeting.”

There was another term that appeared more and more frequently last year – “Tebow fatigue.”

I understand that the record-setting quar-terback for the Florida Gators rubbed some the wrong way. He received tons of national exposure and it may have been too much for critics to handle.

But I’ll admit it. I’m a huge fan of Tebow the player and an even bigger admirer of Tebow the person.

I smiled when Tebow capped his college career in style with a Sugar Bowl perfor-mance for the ages, passing for a career-high 482 yards and three touchdowns, rushing for 51 yards and another score and fi nishing with a BCS-game record 533 yards of total offense. The Gators crushed Cincin-nati 51-24 in a game that nearly wasn’t that close.

Tebow ended his career with two national titles, three bowl victories, the 2007 Heisman

Trophy and a legacy as one of the brightest stars in college football history.

His charitable work and faith are admira-ble, as were his unquestioned toughness and leadership skills on the fi eld.

Instead of “Tebow fatigue,” I expect I’ll miss No. 15 when next college football season rolls around.

He’ll likely make an impact in the NFL, but it will be almost impossible to live up to his college body of work.

Thanks for the memories, Tim.– MARK MCKINNEY

HIT AND RUN---

E ven though Richard Petty Motorsports’ move from Dodge in the takeover of

Yates Racing wasn’t regarded as a blockbuster move in the NASCAR world, Roush-Fenway driver Greg Biffl e is seeing that it is already beginning to show dividends for all Ford teams.

“Combining the technol-ogy, somewhat, from the RPM group has helped us a little bit, I think,” Biffl e said. “I think we were able to help them a little bit, so we were able to put two technologies together.”

And, Roush-Fenway is looking for some fresh thinking after it won the fi rst two races of the season with Matt Kenseth and didn’t taste victory again until Jamie McMurray prevailed in the fall race at Talladega. Biffl e and Carl Edwards, winners in 2008, both went winless.

The big plus about the addi-tion of the RPM group, Biffl e said, is that it won two races last year with Kasey Kahne. That’s a defi nite upgrade from the Yates team, which struggled to run in the top 20 most weeks.

In the merger, RPM lost one team and Yates lost one – leav-ing a four-car team with a driver lineup of Kahne, Elliott Sadler, A.J. Allmendinger and Paul Menard.

“We’ve added a couple of good, quality guys that won races last year or came close to winning races, so that’s certainly gonna help the Ford camp pick up some more wins,” Biffl e said. “We’re really excited about that. Like I said, we’ve already consolidated some of those technologies and I think it’s really helped us and is going to help us.”

Some of the information traded so far came from a couple of Goodyear tire tests. Biffl e participated in one at Phoenix. Kahne was among those chosen to make laps at California. Biffl e is set to do another at Texas.

“I think we’re gonna have a good mixed bag of data coming back into the organization from those three race tracks before the season starts,” Biffl e said.

Roush-Fenway has been con-centrating on making its cars better in several areas, accord-ing to Biffl e.

“Prior to Christmas we really just talked about what we need-ed to do and we worked on it some,” Biffl e said. “Really since the New Year – this week – we’ve worked really hard,” Biffl e said. “I’ve been at the shop everyday and we’ve been in meetings and doing different things. We’ve got a lot of exciting stuff. We’ve lightened our cars up, which we feel is gonna be important to help get some more ballast in them and get the weight balance correct. We’ve come up with new (suspension) geometries. Some of it has been through the merger. Some of it has been

through what we’ve learned.”

SCHRADER IN SHOOTOUT

Red Bull Racing announced Thurs-day that veteran Ken Schrader will drive its No. 82 in next month’s Shootout at Day-tona.

The team’s usual driver, Scott Speed, isn’t eligible for the exhibition race. Schrader became eligible when the race was opened up to its former winners.

SLOTS FILLEDSome teams wasted little time

in the new year to announce drivers.

Thomasville native Brian Vickers will be part of Braun Racing’s driver lineup in the Nationwide series. Vickers will return to Braun’s No. 32 for 10 races. Reed Sorenson, who was left without a ride in the RPM-Yates merger, is set for the other 23 oval track races.

Team owner Kevin Harvick said he and Elliott Sadler will be among the drivers of Kevin Harvick Inc.’s No. 2 entry in the Truck Series. Sadler is set for eight races and Harvick for sev-en. Drivers are to be announced for the other 10 races.

On the Cup side: Front Row Motorsports is switching from Chevrolet to Ford with new drivers Travis Kvapil and Kevin Conway – leaving John Andretti out of a ride.

Kvapil became part of the Ford group when he drove for Yates Racing in 2008 and the fi rst fi ve races of 2009. Conway will campaign for Rookie of the Year and is thought to be bringing sponsorship.

Andretti told NASCAR.com that he is talking with Front Row about doing the Daytona 500 and some other races. Short-ly after the end of last season, Andretti said he was not sure if he wanted to race full-time in the Cup series again.

SERVICES SETFuneral services are set today

in Greenville, S.C., for Larry Frank, the ex-Marine who got his only Cup victory in a contro-versial fi nish to the 1962 South-ern 500.

Junior Johnson was fl agged the winner. Frank, who scraped across the fi nish line with two tires fl at, protested the scoring and after a lengthy recheck was declared the winner.

Frank died Tuesday at age 80. He competed in 103 NASCAR premier series races from 1956-1966, fi nishing 10 times in the top fi ve.


Collaboration with RPM

excites Biffl e

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Washington Wizards plan to fi ne some players for participating in Gilbert Arenas’ on-court antics that made light of his gun troubles, an NBA offi cial said Thursday.

The offi cial told The Associated Press that the team is reviewing de-tails from the Tuesday night game at Philadelphia before determining who will be fi ned and how much. The offi cial has direct knowledge of the team’s plans and spoke on condition of anonymity because the review was still ongoing.

Before the game, Arenas was sur-rounded by his teammates when he knelt on the court and pointed his index fi ngers at them, as if he were fi ring guns. A photograph shows nearly all the players laugh-ing or smiling.

The offi cial said the fi nes would be contingent in part on whether Arenas and his teammates planned it ahead of time.

Arenas was suspended indefi -nitely without pay by the NBA on Wednesday for bringing guns to the Verizon Center and related

incidents, including a locker room spat with teammate Javaris Crit-tenton that involved fi rearms. Commissioner David Stern was particularly upset that Arenas joked about it, adding that the player was “not currently fi t to take the court.”

The Wizards also rebuked Are-nas and the players who found his behavior “amusing,” saying their actions were “unacceptable.” The team is owned by the family of the late Abe Pollin, who changed the team’s name from Bullets because of the violent connotation. The Wizards have told Arenas to stay away from games, practices and other team functions.

Arenas is also under investiga-tion by federal and local authori-ties for possible violations of the strict gun laws in the nation’s capi-tal, and evidence is being present-ed to a grand jury. Because the Ve-rizon Center in a designated “gun free zone” — within 1,000 feet of a day care center — Arenas would be subject to twice the fi ne or jail sentence if he is convicted.

KAPALUA, Hawaii (AP) — U.S. Open champion Lucas Glover returned to Kapalua and had another miserable start to the fi rst round of a new PGA Tour season. The difference Thursday was how he fi n-ished.

Glover recovered from a double bogey on his opening hole by going 9-under par over a nine-hole stretch in the middle of his round. He fi nished it off with a tap-in birdie for a 7-under 66 and a one-shot lead in the season-opening SBS Champion-ship.

Matt Androin of High Point Christian skims just below the water’s surface in the 200 medley relay in a meet Thurs-day at Wesleyan Christian Academy.

CHICAGO (AP) — As homecomings go, Jon Scheyer’s was about as good as it gets.

The Duke star saw the familiar faces in the stands and heard the voices of those who had been part of his life — friends, teachers and family. About 500 of them cheering his every move. And they had plenty to get excited about Wednesday night.

Scheyer scored 31 points on a variety of shots and led the fi fth-ranked Blue Devils to an 86-65 victory over Iowa State.

He called it an experi-ence that was both emo-tional and a little weird.

“There were people who have been there for me throughout my whole life since I’ve been a little kid,” said

Scheyer, a prep star insuburban Northbrook,Ill.

“Many people haven’tbeen able to see me play.This is their fi rst timebeing able to see me, sothat means a lot, too. ...I know people changedtheir plans to be here.”

Scheyer, who scoredmore than 3,000 pointsfor Glenbrook NorthHigh, shot 10 of 19 withfour 3-pointers. And hedid it on the court at theUnited Center.

“I was a little nervousat our shootaround be-cause I’ve been here somany times to watchgames and seen so manygreat players here,”Scheyer said. “Not toomany courts I walk onthat I feel like it is a bigdeal. But for me it wastoday and it ended upbeing a good night.”

PHILADELPHIA (AP) – If the Eagles have one advantage over the Cow-boys in their playoff re-match, it’s the man in charge.

Andy Reid is undefeat-ed in playoff openers, go-ing 7-0 during his fi rst 10 seasons as Philadelphia’s coach. On the other side, Wade Phillips has never won a playoff game. He’s 0-4 with Dallas, Buffalo and Denver.

So one coach wants to continue a streak and the other wants to end his when the two teams, both 11-5, meet in Dal-las in an NFC wild-card game Saturday night.

Phillips and his staff clearly outcoached Reid and his crew in a 24-0

victory last Sunday that gave Dallas the NFC East title and cost the Eagles a fi rst-round bye.

Reid, as usual, took the blame for Philadelphia’s poor performance, even though he wasn’t the one dropping passes, giving up big plays or missing open receivers.

“I want to make this very clear. It starts with the head coach,” Reid said. “They outsmarted us. That’s our challenge, from a coaching stand-point, to do a better job.”

Reid has a tough task convincing his team it can go back to Dallas and win six days after being dominated. The Cow-boys also won in Philly – 20-16 – on Nov. 8.

Reid’s record in jeopardy

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) – The New York Jets have the NFL’s top-ranked defense, yet they keep hearing about what they haven’t done this season.

They can’t close out opponents in close games. They can’t put points on the board off turnovers. They can’t get to the quarterback consis-tently enough.

“We understand people still doubt our capabilities, but, hey, they also said we weren’t going to make the playoffs,” cornerback Lito Shep-pard said Thursday. “Look where we’re at now. We love it. It defi nite-ly keeps us motivated, not that we need it, but it defi nitely adds to it.”

If the Jets (9-7) can shut down Carson Palmer, Chad Ochocinco and the Bengals (10-6) for the sec-ond straight week – this time in a fi rst-round playoff game Saturday at Cincinnati – Rex Ryan’s defense might start getting the respect it says it deserves.

“We’ve obviously played well and, statistically, we’re at the top, and you can’t take that away from us,” safety Jim Leonhard said. “Now we’re in the playoffs and this is when that defense should shine.”

From a numbers standpoint, the Jets would appear to have a monstrous, dominant defense that

should strike fear into any op-ponent, and that’s even without having injured big nose tackle Kris Jenkins. They fi nished the regular season allowing the fewest yards, by far, with 252.3 per game – more than 30 less than Green Bay (284.4).

New York gave up a league-low 187 offensive points, fi nished fi rst in pass defense, held opposing quarterbacks to an NFL-low 58.8 passer rating, and created the highest percentage of three-and-outs. The gaudy stats go on and on, and it’s clear the Jets have an ex-cellent defense.

But, is it great?

Miles Austin and the Dallas Cowboys hope to provide a chilly reception to coach Andy Reid and his Philadelphia Eagles in Saturday’s fi rst-round playoff game.

CINCINNATI (AP) – Four pairs of cleats are neatly arranged on a lower ledge. The tiger-striped hel-met hangs from a black hook on the left side of the wooden cubicle. T-shirts are bunched on hangers in the back. Shoulder pads rest up-side-down on the top shelf.

The Bengals haven’t cleaned out Chris Henry’s locker yet. They haven’t really replaced him, either.

Henry’s death last month stag-gered his former teammates, who attended his funeral in New Or-leans, then played poorly in their last two games. They’ll have de-cals with his No. 15 on the backs of their helmets when they host the New York Jets in a wild-card play-off on Saturday.

His absence continues to touch them in many ways. “Chris was a big part of our offense, and a part of our offense that we weren’t able to replace,” said quarterback Carson Palmer, who delivered a eulogy at his funeral. “Chris was a friend that is missed more than anything.”

Palmer had a special connection with the 26-year-old receiver. On Cincinnati’s second play in a 2005 playoff against Pittsburgh, Palmer completed a 66-yard pass to Henry that was the longest in Bengals playoff history. Both suffered knee injuries on the play.

Palmer’s left knee was shredded by a hit from Kimo von Oelhoffen after he threw the pass. Henry hurt his right knee when he was tack-led, and left the game a few plays later. With the two stars gone, the Bengals lost 31-17.

Both recovered, though Henry’s off-fi eld problems led the team to release and then re-sign him. At age 26, he seemed to have started turning his life around this year. His teammates have kept his mem-ory alive in the locker room, and on the day Henry died, the players dedicated the rest of the season to the receiver and to Vikki Zimmer, the wife of defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer. She died at the cou-ple’s home earlier in the season.

NEW YORK (AP) – Plaxico Burress is not getting out of prison just yet.

The work-release application for the ex-Giants star was denied by the Department of Correctional Services due to the nature of his crime. Burress pleaded guilty in August to criminal possession of a weap-

on for having a handgun in a nightclub that went off and shot him in the leg.

The program would have allowed him to spend some of his two-year sentence at home. Less than 5 percent of the more than 31,500 work-release applications in 2008 were granted.

EAST LONDON, South Africa (AP) – Richard Sterne shot a bogey-free 7-under 66 Thursday for a fi ve-way tie after the fi rst round of the Africa Open.

Sterne started on the back nine and made three straight birdies from the 15th. He added three more on his next fi ve holes to sit tied with Patrik Sjoland of Sweden, South African duo Titch Moore and Trev-or Fisher Jr. and Mark Haastrup of Denmark.

Four other South Af-rican players, includ-ing Carl Schwartzel and Thomas Aiken, were a shot back at 6 under in the European Tour event.

ST. LOUIS (AP) – Matt Holliday hopes to be team-mates with Albert Pujols for a long time.

“I think he’s going to be here at least two more years and hopefully forev-er,” Holliday said Thurs-day after fi nalizing his $120 million, seven-year contract with the St. Lou-is Cardinals. “Hopefully, he’ll be here for the rest of his career and we can do some damage.”

Coming off his third NL MVP award, Pujols is entering the fi nal guaran-teed season of a $100 mil-lion, seven-year contract that includes a $16 million team option for 2011.

Chairman Bill DeWitt said there have been no ne-gotiations on an extension for Pujols, who told the team recently to take care of more pressing matters.

“We haven’t started those discussions yet, oth-er than informally to let him know we’re interest-ed,” DeWitt said. “We’ve got time, with two years and spring training a bit away.”

Holliday, who held uphis new No. 7 jersey (hewore No. 15 with the Car-dinals last season), said hehadn’t had much contactwith Pujols aside from ex-changing text messages ofencouragement.

Holliday is looking for-ward to working with bat-ting instructor Mark Mc-Gwire and manager TonyLa Russa.

Holliday and McGwirehit together last offseasonwhen both were living inCalifornia and said thetwo were “good friends.”

“I’m excited to seehow he does as a hittingcoach,” Holliday said. “Ithink he’ll do great. He’sa very good communica-tor and I think peopleare very interested to seewhat he has to say.”

McGwire, hired in Oc-tober to be the Cardinalshitting coach, still hasn’theld his introductorynews conference.

Holliday also has no wor-ries that the 65-year-old LaRussa, who signed a one-year extension in October,is close to retirement.

BASEBALL NOTEBOOK:ATLANTA – Eric Hin-

ske and the Atlanta Braves have reached a preliminary agreement on a $1 million, one-year contract, according to a person familiar with the negotiations. The person spoke on condition of ano-nymity because the deal was not fi nal, pending a physical examination.

The 32-year-old Hinske, who can earn an addi-tional $500,000 in bonuses, is expected to play behind newly signed fi rst base-man Troy Glaus and third baseman Chipper Jones. He also can play the cor-ner outfi eld spots and is ex-pected to be the team’s top left-handed pinch-hitter.

Hinske hit .242 with eight homers and 25 RBIs for Pittsburgh and the New York Yankees last season. He hit 20 homers for Tam-pa Bay in 2008 and had ca-reer-best totals of 24 hom-ers and 84 RBIs as a rookie with Toronto in 2002.

MARINERS, RED SOX DEALSEATTLE – The Mari-

ners fi nalized the trade with the Boston Red Sox on Thursday that brings fi rst baseman Casey Kotchman to Seattle for outfi elder Bill Hall, a play-er to be named and cash.

Kotchman passed hisphysical to complete thedeal reached Tuesday.The deal strongly sug-gests Seattle won’t bringback slugging fi rst base-man Russell Branyan.

BELTRE, RED SOX AGREEBOSTON – Adrian Bel-

tre and the Red Sox havefi nalized a one-year con-tract that guarantees thethird baseman $10 million.Beltre gets $9 million thisyear, and the deal includesa $5 million player optionfor 2011 with a $1 millionbuyout. The option wouldescalate to $10 million ifBeltre has 575 plate ap-pearances this year.

A strong fi elder, Beltrebecame a free agent afterfi ve seasons with Seattle.

A’S BRING BACK CUSTOAKLAND, Calif. – The

Oakland Athletics agreedto a $2.65 million, one-year contract Thursday tobring back Jack Cust, giv-ing the team some much-needed power in the mid-dle of the order.

Cust is likely to be theclub’s primary DH. He hit.240 with 25 homers and70 RBIs last season, butalso struck out 195 times,becoming the fi rst playerto lead in the AL in threestraight seasons sinceMinnesota’s Bobby Dar-win from 1972-74.

DILBERT

WASHINGTON (AP) – A government report Thurs-day on claims for unem-ployment aid signaled that layoffs are easing and that the U.S. economy could be on the verge of posting the fi rst monthly gain in jobs in two years.

The number of people claiming unemployment benefi ts for the fi rst time barely rose last week, after falling to its low-est level since July 2008 the previous week. And the four-week average of claims fell for the 18th straight week to 450,250. That fi gure has reached its lowest point since Sep-tember 2008, when the fi -nancial crisis intensifi ed

with the collapse of Lehm-an Brothers.

The four-week aver-age of fi rst-time claims is nearing the roughly 425,000 that many econo-mists say would be a sign the economy will start creating jobs.

The Labor Department will issue a more compre-hensive snapshot of the job market today, when it releases the monthly jobs report for December. Economists forecast that the unemployment rate will rise to 10.1 percent from 10 percent and that employers will have shed 8,000 jobs.

Still, the steady drop in fi rst-time unemployment

claims, and other signs of economic improvement, have led some analysts to predict slight job growth for December. If so, it would be the fi rst net increase in jobs in two years.

Separately, retailers re-ported modest sales gains for the holiday season, prompting some chains to raise their fourth-quarter profi t outlooks. Decem-ber sales rose 2.8 percent compared with a year ago, according to the Interna-tional Council of Shop-ping Centers.

For the overall holiday season, which combines November and December sales, the index was up 1.8 percent.

Report signals job gains

WASHINGTON (AP) – The Federal Reserve Bank of New York pressed American In-ternational Group Inc. to withhold details of controversial deals that funneled billions in bailout money to Goldman Sachs and other banks.

E-mails show law-yers representing the New York Fed asked AIG to remove the in-formation from a draft fi nancial disclosure. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner was president of the New York Fed at the time.

The deals were part of a massive rescue ef-fort at the peak of the fi nancial crisis.

Lawmakers and others have accused Geithner’s Fed of overpaying banks, including Goldman and Deutsche Bank, to cancel deals with AIG.

BRIEFS---Sears Holdings expects gains on Kmart

HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill. (AP) – Sears Holdings Corp. expects its fourth-quarter adjusted profi t to come in sharply above last year’s results thanks to stronger sales at its Kmart chain — a sign fortunes slowly may be improving for the long-struggling retailer.

The news Thursday morning sent Sears shares to a more than 15-month high, passing $100 per share — something not seen since September 2008.

Sears and Kmart, both led by fi nancier Edward Lampert, have seen shoppers fl ee to larger rivals withmore prestige and more products at better prices. But late last year, glimmers of resilience began to emerge when shoppers returned to Kmart stores as the reces-sion wore on.

GM boss expects 2010 profi t

Oil falls below $83 on stronger dollar NEW YORK (AP) – Oil prices fell below $83 a barrel

Thursday as the dollar strengthened and investors worried a 20 percent rally in the last few weeks isn’t justifi ed amid sluggish U.S. crude demand.

By late morning, benchmark crude for February de-livery fell 50 cents to $82.68 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange as the dollar rebounded.

NEW YORK (AP) – In-vestors’ cautious opti-mism about the job mar-ket gave stocks a modest lift Thursday, one day before the government’s report on December em-ployment.

Stocks closed mostly higher after many re-tailers issued upbeat holiday sales figures and the Labor Depart-ment reported a leveling of the number of newly laid-off workers apply-ing for unemployment benefits.

Stuart Schweitzer, global markets strate-gist at J.P. Morgan’s Private Bank in New York, said markets are in a holding pattern as traders look to Friday’s jobs report from the La-bor Department. Ana-lysts are expecting job losses will shrink from the 11,000 lost in No-vember.

“Everyone is waiting for the fireworks,” Sch-weitzer said.

The Dow Jones in-dustrial average rose

33.18, or 0.3 percent, to 10,606.86. The broader Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 4.55, or 0.4 percent, to 1,141.69. It was the highest close for both indexes since Oct. 1, 2008.

The Nasdaq composite index slipped 1.04, or 0.1 percent, to 2,300.05.

Three stocks rose for every two that fell on the New York Stock Exchange, where volume came to 1.2 billion shares, compared with 1.1 billion Wednes-day.

Bond prices mostly slipped, pushing yields higher. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Trea-sury note was fl at at 3.83 percent from late Wednes-day.

The dollar rose, and gold fell. A gain in the dollar weighs on commodity pric-es by making them more expensive for overseas buyers. That hurts energy and materials companies.

Crude oil fell 52 cents to $82.66 per barrel on the New York Mercantile Ex-change.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Presi-dent Barack Obama declared Thursday “the buck stops with me” for the nation’s security and suggested he would not fi re any-one for the Christmas attack on a Detroit-bound airliner. Security lapses that led to the near-disaster were not the fault of a single indi-vidual or agency, he said, vowing they would be corrected.

Obama didn’t tell intelligence offi cials to change what they’re doing. Instead, he told them to just do it better, and faster. He left it to them to fi gure out how.

He said anew that the gov-ernment had the information that might have prevented the botched attack but failed to piece

it together. He announced about a dozen changes designed to fi x that, including new terror watch list guidelines, wider and quicker distribution of intelligence re-ports, stronger analysis of those reports, international partner-ships and an interagency effort to develop next-generation airport screening technologies.

While Obama promised im-proved security, his solutions were laced with bureaucratic re-shuffl ing.

Americans might be surprised that the government was not al-ready taking some of the steps Obama ordered. For instance, he directed the intelligence com-munity to begin assigning direct

responsibility for following up leads on high-priority threats.

Obama himself hinted at the diffi culties of improving intelli-gence and security against a ter-rorist network that devises new methods as fast or faster than the U.S. can come up with defenses.

“There is, of course, no foolproof so-lution,” he said. “We have to stay one step ahead of a nimble adversary.”

He spoke from the State Dining Room at the White House, his re-marks delayed twice as offi cials scrambled to declassify a six-page summary of a report he’d ordered from top offi cials on the security failures. That summary was released immediately after he spoke.

ST. LOUIS (AP) – A dis-gruntled worker embroiled in a pension dispute with his company showed up at the plant and opened fi re Thursday, killing three people and wounding fi ve before apparently killing himself.

The shooting spree at ABB Group’s plant sent frightened co-workers scrambling into closets and to the snow-covered roof for safety.

Fire offi cials identifi ed the shooter as 51-year-old Timothy Hendron

of Webster Groves, a St. Louis suburb. Police said a man believed to be the gunman was found dead inside the plant from an apparent self-infl icted gunshot wound, but they would not release his name.

Stricter new smog limit to hit rural areas, too

WASHINGTON – Hun-dreds of communities far from congested highways and belching smoke-stacks could soon join big cities and industrial corridors in violation of stricter limits on lung-damaging smog proposed Thursday by the Obama administration.

Costs of compliance could be in the tens of billions of dollars, but the government said the rules would save other billions – as well as lives – in the long run.
