HIGH POINT – After ad-justing to gas prices that fl uctuated between $2.30 and $2.60 in 2009, motor-ists in the state may be casting wary eyes at the price of a gallon of fuel as it inches upward toward the $3 mark.

State gas prices in-creased 1 cent from Mon-day to Tuesday, bringing the average price per gal-lon to $2.72, according to AAA Carolinas.

The average price in the Triad on Tuesday was $2.69. While the travel or-ganization notes the Triad

continues to have some of the lowest fuel prices in the state, prices have risen 14 cents per gallon since last month.

“What was pushing the prices up was the weak American dollar and also speculation by oil inves-tors that manufacturing in China would increase this year,” said Brendan By-rnes, public relations man-ager for AAA Carolinas.

An increase in energy usage due to chilly tem-peratures in the South also has oil investors con-cerned, Byrnes said.

“The heating demand in the U.S. with the cold weath-er is also a factor,” he said.

“There are some weather experts out there that are saying February could bring some unreasonably low tem-peratures as well.”

Those factors, combined with the approach of spring months and a sum-mer travel season, paint an uncertain picture of prices in 2010.

Gas prices in 2009 re-mained slightly volatile, bouncing between a $2.30 to $2.60 price range. By-rnes said the price per gallon in 2010 may land be-tween $2.50 and $2.80.

But the risk of prices breaking the $3 mark this year depends on the strength of the U.S. dollar, he said.

“It’s certainly possible we’ll see an increase from here,” he said. “Oil prices started coming back down midday on Monday, so it may depend the strength of the U.S. dollar. If the dol-

lar improves in terms of its strength against other international currencies, it will make trading oil less attractive.”

RETURN OF $3 GAS

Here we go again – pump prices on the rise

GREENSBORO – After 70 years in the making, Randleman Lake now has an offi cial name – the Randle-man Regional Reservoir.

The board members of the Pied-mont Triad Regional Water Au-thority selected the formal name Tuesday as they prepare to open the 3,000-acre lake for recreation March 1. At its monthly meeting, the board also set a fee structure and the days and times for recre-ation at the lake, which will stay open through Nov. 30.

The board members settled on the formal name to refl ect the area’s heritage of being called Randleman Lake for decades, the regional cooperation that led to the lake’s creation and the

main purpose of the reservoir as a source for drinking water. The fi rst drinking water is expected to

fl ow from the lake in June or July to customers of Randolph County and fi ve municipalities in Guil-ford and Randolph counties.

The reservoir also is expected to become a popular site for boat-ing and fi shing. The lake will wel-come its fi rst guests when it opens 8 a.m. March 1.

Marina fees will be $15 a day for a gas-powered boat with three or fewer people, and $5 per person for a boat with four or more peo-ple. The daily fee for an electric motor or sail boat will be $6, and $4 for a kayak, canoe or paddle-boat. Pier fi shing will be $2 a day per person.

The reservoir will be closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, except for holidays, and its hours of op-eration will vary with the seasons and daylight saving time during

the 201 days that the reservoir is open to recreation this year.

“I think the public is anxious to get on the lake,” said board mem-ber Darrell Frye, who’s a Ran-dolph County commissioner.

The lake already has been pro-fi led in outdoor magazines, and the Water Authority has received two requests to hold fi shing tourna-ments at the reservoir, Frye said.

Personnel costs for marina workers and lake wardens will total $191,148 this year. The Water Authority intends to use mainly part-time workers to limit the expense, said Executive Director John Kime.

Even with the personnel moves, Frye acknowledges, “it’s a big lake, and it will cost a lot to maintain it.”

MIAMI (AP) – Carnival Cruise Lines won’t be sail-ing anymore with a boat-load of “cougars” and their willing prey.

The Miami-based com-pany has turned down a request from a singles travel group to book an-other cruise with the cou-gar theme. The term refers

to older women who date younger men.

The singles group says the ban is unfounded. They point to their fi rst cruise on Carnival’s Elation in De-cember that drew about 300 women and the men they call “cubs.”

Carnival says there were no problems with last

month’s trip, it’s just a busi-ness decision. They have no room for groups with that “theme.”

Analysts say it’s meant to protect Carnival’s focus on family fun.

Party planners say they’ve had no trouble booking with rivals Norwe-gian and Royal Caribbean.

ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

TRIAD – A Thom-asville City Schools elementary school principal faces assault charges after an alleged altercation with a phys-ical education teacher from a different school.

The Randolph County Sheriff’s Department said it has charged Ben-jie Brown, principal of Liberty Drive Elemen-tary School in Thomas-ville, with assault and battery stemming from a Jan. 2 incident.

According to au-thorities, Brown, 39, of Thomasville, assaulted Kevin Luke Starrett of High Point by striking him with his fi st several

times in the head. Star-rett is a physical educa-tion teacher at Thomas-ville Middle School.

Police haven’t released details as to a motive for the attack, which school offi cials said occurred off school grounds.

Thomasville City Schools Superinten-dent Keith Tobin said the school system is in-vestigating the incident as a personnel matter.

The complaint against Brown was fi led by Star-rett Jan. 2 in Randolph County, according to WXII News 12. A war-rant was then sent to the Thomasville Police Department, where Brown turned himself in that day.

sioners in March. “Af-ter much discussion and review .... based on all the relevant information that has been received, the community input re-ceived, the current fi nan-cial limitations, as well as the fi nancial forecast, it is our recommendation to this Randolph County Board of Education that Archdale-Trinity area schools remain intact with no grade change con-fi guration at this time, with a maximum benefi t proposed to be included in the long-range building program that will be fi nal-ized in March,” Superin-tendent Donald Andrews said.

For several months, the board of education weighed several options to reconfi gure attendance lines in the Archdale-Trinity school district.

In November, the school board agreed to take pub-lic comments on two op-tions to redistrict lines for students in kindergarten through eighth grade.

Last month, the Board of Education added a third option.

Under the fi rst option, Archdale-Trinity Mid-dle would have become a sixth-through-eighth grade school for the Wheatmore High district; Archdale Elementary would become a sixth-grade school for the Trin-ity high School district; and Braxton Craven Middle would become a seventh- and eighth-grade school for the Trinity High district.

This option would cost between $171,000 and

$190,000. Costing between$86,000 and $91,000, thesecond option would haveBraxton Craven Middleremaining a sixth-gradeschool for the entire Arch-dale-Trinity area, whileArchdale-Trinity Middlewould remain a seventh-and eighth-grade schoolfor the entire Archdale-Trinity area.

The third option wouldhave converted TrindaleElementary into a sixth-grade-only school. Theoption would have alsomade Braxton CravenMiddle a seventh andeighth grade school onlyfor Trinity High, whileArchdale-Trinity Middlewould become a sixth-through-eighth gradeschool for WheatmoreHigh. The cost would beabout $180,000 for this op-tion.

If the board approvedone of the options, mem-bers would have hadto ask the RandolphCounty Board of Com-missioners for funding,according to school of-ficials.

Marty Trotter, thesystem’s assistant su-perintendent, said hehas been told by countycommissioners that alarge amount of fundingwould not be availableuntil 2015.

School officials saidthe options would havebeen a temporary fix un-til a new middle schoolis built in the Archdale-Trinity area, creatingseparate feeder schoolsfor Trinity High and thenew Wheatmore High.

DAVIDSON COUNTY – The Davidson County Board of Commissioners unani-mously approved a resolu-tion at its meeting Tuesday that will give a new firing range to the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office.

The board approved us-ing a nearly 20-acre piece of land donated to the de-partment by Alcoa Power Generating Inc. that could be used as a fi ring range that would “aid in the training of law enforce-ment and personnel,” ac-cording to the resolution.

The property is an ir-regular-shaped parcel with more than 19 acres in Davidson County and less than one acre in Montgomery County.

Lt. Robert Miller, speak-ing on behalf of Davidson County Sheriff David Grice, said the department had been working with Alcoa on the project for a while. “This would be a plus for us,” said Miller about the firing range. “We’ve been working on this for about eight months.”

The board also ap-proved grants for two projects at the meeting that could add hundreds of jobs to the area.

Commissioners unani-mously approved a grant for Project Combined, which plans to invest $2 million and create 150 jobs. The grant will pro-vide an incentive calcu-lated at 0.0027 times the company’s investment in the plant, machinery and

equipment each year for fi ve years. A second grant involves a lease agree-ment for 12 years not to exceed $6,000 annually.

A grant for Project G, which plans to invest $1.2 million and create 12 jobs, also was approved. The grant incentive is calcu-lated at 0.0027 times the company’s investment in the plant, machinery and equipment each year for fi ve years.

“Those projects would re-sult in good jobs for the citi-zens of Davidson County,” said Steve Googe, execu-tive director of the David-son County Development Commission. The board approved two similar proj-ects at its Jan. 5 meeting. It approved grants for Project V, which is estimated to cre-ate 300 jobs and invest $12 million over six years. The company will receive an in-centive grant calculated at 0.0027 times the company’s investment in the plant machinery and equipment annually for seven years. Project V also will receive an incentive grant calculat-ed at 0.0028 times the com-pany’s investment from the city of Lexington.

Project Lynx, which plans to invest $20 mil-lion and provide 42 jobs, will receive a $145,833.33 grant that will be split be-tween Davidson County and the city of Lexington. The grant involves a lease agreement for about 80 acres on a 288,000 to 320,000 square-foot building that will be constructed.

Alleged chief of violent Mexican cartel caughtTIJUANA, Mexico – Mexico has captured a kingpin

accused of terrorizing his way to the top of a gang fi ghting for control of key U.S. drug routes – even ordering rivals dissolved in caustic soda. Tuesday’s arrest capped a series of victories in Mexico’s U.S.-backed war on narcotics.

Dear Leader says we had a “sys-temic” failure. Of course we had a “systemic failure,” he got elected! The “systemic” failure includes permitting parolees, under age 30, from our left-wing indoctrination camps (public schools) to vote. Permitting anyone to vote who pays no income tax, those with no “skin in the game.” Permitting those to vote who get their “news” from the Comedy Channel, or who can’t name their representative or the vice president.

Permitting anyone to vote who believes that the Demo-Rats’ health care “reform” will reduce the defi cit, or who agrees with Comrade Pelosi that the health care process was the “most open ever!” Permitting anyone to vote who believes the new plan will cover all Americans, or that insurance premiums will de-crease. Permitting anyone to vote who does not believe care will be rationed.

Permitting anyone to vote who believes that frisking 12-year-old children or 80-year-old men with canes is how to make air travel safer, or anyone who believes that Janet Napolitano is the best choice to protect America. Oops, sorry Barack!

Permitting anyone to vote who believes that captured “alleged” terrorists who already confessed should be tried in civilian courts. Oops, sorry Eric Holder!

Permitting anyone to vote who believes that a devoted disciple

of Saul Alinsky would favor a free-market economy. Permitting anyone to vote who believes it appropriate to have admirers of Mao, Hugo Chavez, devoted Marx-ists, and self-identifi ed Commu-nists as presidential advisers.

Permitting anyone to vote who believes that our Founding Fa-thers “got it wrong,” referring to our Constitution, or that we need a “second Bill of Rights.” That, incredibly, is what another of his radical advisers has written!

Yes Mr. Community Organizer, we have suffered a massive sys-temic failure. Let’s all pray that our country will somehow sur-vive that “man-made disaster”!

Sanitation department

workers are appreciated

In my opinion, we have the best sanitation department here in Davidson County. On Dec. 30, I failed to get the garbage bin to the street. The truck went by and ours was not available for them. I thought I heard them coming again, quickly went out to the street looking to see if they were in sight.

Suddenly, the truck was coming

back down the street. I fl agged them down, the friendly driver stopped and I began telling him what had happened. I started to go for the bin behind my house but these friendly men would not let me.

One smiling fellow said, “I’ll get it,” and he did. He rolled the heavily loaded bin up the hill and cheerfully they hauled the trash away.

I wish I knew their names; this is a thank you to them.

These and other cheerful men with the sanitation department take pride in their important job for the citizens of our county. Re-gardless of the weather, extreme cold or heat, their commitment and hard work is gratefully ap-preciated. I say “Thank you” to these men.

Put Medicare buy-in option

into health care bill

The health care reform bill has been stripped of anything that might have made a real bottom-line difference for Americans, like single-payer and the public option.

Now, the Medicare buy-in op-

tion is being removed. As an American citizen, I de-

mand that this Medicare buy-in option, at least, be put back in the bill. Otherwise, we are no better off than we were before.

Use full-body scanners

on suspicious passengers

Full-body scanners should be reserved for those who display behavior that causes suspicion, or those whose names are already on one of the lists.

Profi ling may be undesirable, but only Muslims have used suicide bombing against the U.S. They should be the ones inconve-nienced by long security lines and extra scrutiny.

Perhaps the moderate Muslims would then be motivated to take a more active role in the fi ght against terrorism.

YOUR VIEW---

T his is ridiculous. Why are we even debating the point that what Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.)

said about candidate Obama was acceptable because he stated the points in support of the man, not in condescension? Would any of my brothers and sisters give a pass to a white rapper dropping the N-word at any time because he’s doing so in celebration of the music? I didn’t think so.

Why do the media and other leftist apolo-gists such as the NAACP give these old bull white guys free passes simply because they have a D after their names? Because they peddle social welfare programs to keep Negroes down and in their place?

And when one of them rises to the top and doesn’t sound like a Negro with that “dialect,” then he might be able to aspire to the highest offi ce in the land. But only the light-skinned ones, mind you! Just what exactly is a Negro dialect, Sen. Reid? And where did you get your African linguistics degree?

The Democratic Party purports to know and speak for all minorities in this country, especially African Americans (that’s what we’re called these days, senator). So what kind of sensitivity training is Tim Kaine orchestrating at party headquarters?

One commentator has excused the Neva-dan’s stupidity because, “well, he’s 70 years old …” Case closed. He just affi rmed what Michael Steele called for yesterday – Sen. Reid is unfi t to serve as majority leader. If one is too old to understand changing times and the demands of a growing and ever-shifting melting pot of cultures and demographics, then don’t ask the voters of your state to send you back to Washington, because you are no longer able to connect with their needs.

Comments like, “he doesn’t know better” only support the allegation Reid is out of touch with mainstream America – a country that, at least publicly, walked away from Aunt Jemima referenc-es of the antebellum South decades ago.

What should bother Ameri-cans is Reid made these statements in private, which shows, to me at least, his true colors and backward thinking. And then there’s

the actual substance of the words. To the majority leader, it’s OK to run for president if you’re a black man, but only if you don’t look or talk like a black man.

Finally, we return to the classic political fi restorm this episode has started. Here again that eternal double standard rears its head. Only this time there’s an interesting new variable. If Mitt Romney had uttered similar words, the Washington press corps and liberal media would be the fi rst to bear its fangs; followed by the likes of Paul Bega-la elbowing for face time to call Romney the product of a “backwards, narrow-minded religion.” Yet Reid is Mormon himself, and not one question has arisen surrounding the infl uence of his faith on the words he uttered months ago. Let’s hope the media stays consistent on their views of Mormon-ism should Romney win the Republican presidential nomination in a few years. I’m not holding my breath.

T he city of High Point has developed through its City Project program a magnifi cent plan for the redevelopment of Washington

Drive, an area that historically has been the hub of the city’s African-American community.

But for all the hard work, professional exper-tise and community involvement in that plan, the idea wasn’t going to happen without the law enforcement effort that has gotten under way on Washington Drive and in the surrounding neighborhood.

The High Point Police Department, in con-junction with High Point Community Against Violence, has begun a crackdown on drug vio-lations and other crimes that have plagued the area for years. The department has focused its nationally respected Overt Drug Market Inter-vention Strategy there with the aim of eradicat-ing drug dealing and related crimes.

Additionally, the department fi led a nuisance-abatement lawsuit against absentee owners of three residences in the area, seeking forfeiture of their property in order to stop the alleged his-tory of criminal activities there.

The courts will decide the outcome of the specifi c nuisance-abatement case based on the facts. But in general, police are right to inject the nuisance-abatement statutes where neces-sary in order to expedite the revitalization of the Washington Drive area. And it’s a tool that law enforcement should employ anywhere that property – whether rental or owner occupied – is used for criminal purposes.

This is only the second time city police have used nuisance-abatement laws against residen-tial property. They were used successfully sev-eral times during the 1990s to close nightclubs and businesses that had become scenes of crimi-nal activities. And their use against a property or business owner is fair because property own-ers and business operators have an obligation to not allow criminal activities on their property.

We hope this law enforcement push is success-ful so that city offi cials can get on with attract-ing new businesses and private investments to the Washington Drive area. Because without private interest and investments, the hoped-for revitalization project also won’t happen.

COMMENTARY

D oes losing your cell phone trigger hysterics? Does life seem bleak and

bitter without Internet? Does your free time stretch end-lessly before you when your TV breaks? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you might have TO (Technology Obsession).

Don’t worry; if you fi nd yourself watching grass and biting your nails when your PC breaks, you are not alone. An article I found online reports that in a poll about people’s dependence on technology, half the respondents claimed that “they couldn’t live” without Internet access. Two in 10 people felt that their CD and DVD players were “essential” to their lives. If that seems a little ridiculous, consider this: The article was written four years ago.

Hmmm, I wonder how far we’ve come in four years? You could answer that CDs have been replaced by iPods and DVDs by Blu-ray. Santa’s had to expand his work force just to keep up with the demand for DS Lites and Wii systems. And kids are getting cell phones along with their bottles in the cradle.

Do you ever wonder whether this global fl ood of technology possibly could have a nega-tive effect? Like, I don’t know, a breakdown in meaningful communication? Most people are happy that our days of Xbox-free Amish existence are gone. And sure, increased communication and connec-tion have their merits. I’m not a technophobe or anything, but surely there’s something appealing about enjoying the company of family and friends without a chattering TV in the background.

Maybe that’s asking too much. How about cell phones? I can almost feel myself getting

brain cancer when I talk on one too long. Al-though, interest-ingly enough, the electromagnetic waves from cell phones have re-versed Alzheim-er’s in mice. Go fi gure.

Texting is another mat-ter. Whipping thumbs on a tiny

keyboard for hours on end has caused numerous physical ailments, primarily the new condition diagnosed “Teen Tex-ting Tendonitis.” Really, do we need a fancy term for exorbi-tant indulgence in a little piece of plastic and metal? If I texted 8,000, or 15,000, or 41,000 texts a month, I would have sore thumbs, too. Think of all the important things these texting pros could be doing with their time instead of tapping out smi-

ley faces and “lol.” Like sleep-ing, homework and driving.

Maybe next they’ll come out with some kind of device to replace texting and make mean-ingless communication even easier. Like transferring brain waves. Of course, thanks to Japanese researchers, thought-activated TV may not be too far off.

And no, teens are certainly not the only ones with TO; many adults can’t get enough oftheir toys either. What would life be like if we just set all our gadgets down for a while? Per-haps we would look out and see the beauty of nature; or maybe we would have a boom of piano virtuosos, since the rapid and precise fi nger movement possessed by many texters is perfect for the keyboard. Who knows? We might even redis-cover the art of conversation.

LAID TO REST: Vice president eulogizes mother. 6B

KENNESAW, Ga. (AP) – A disgruntled ex-employ-ee stormed a truck rental business in camoufl age and opened fi re with a hand-gun, killing two people and critically wounding three others at his former work-place, police said.

The lone gunman fl ed the scene in a pickup truck and was arrested after police stopped him about a mile from the Pen-ske Truck Rental facility, said Cobb County Police Offi cer Joe Hernandez.

The names of the sus-pect and victims were not immediately released.

“He wasn’t here for very long and it wasn’t long before he was taken into custody,” Hernandez said.

There were confl icting reports about who the vic-tims were. Penske spokes-man Randy Ryerson said

four victims were employ-ees and the other was a customer, but police said none of the victims were customers. Hernandez

said all of those shot were males.

About two dozen em-ployees were working at the offi ce, which sits

about 25 miles northwest of Atlanta and consists of a couple of large buildings with bay doors, Ryerson said.

2 dead in shooting; suspect is ex-employee

WASHINGTON (AP) – House and Senate nego-tiators working on Presi-dent Barack Obama’s health overhaul bill appear likely to drop a proposed income tax increase on high-wage earners and possibly jet-tison a requirement for large businesses to offer coverage to their em-ployees, Democratic of-fi cials said Tuesday.

Negotiators are con-sidering extending the Medicare payroll tax, which now applies only to income from wages, to cover some of the in-vestment earnings of

couples making morethan $250,000 a year,and individuals earn-ing above $200,000. Thatcould make up lost rev-enue from dropping thehigh-wage income taxand scaling back a pro-posed tax on high-valueinsurance plans, whichis strongly opposed byorganized labor andHouse Democrats.

On another high-profi leissue, the negotiators arediscussing a hybrid of aproposed national insur-ance exchange containedin the House bill and thestate-by-state approachfavored by the Senate.

Employer health mandate may be dropped

WASHINGTON (AP) – President Barack Obama said his thoughts and prayers were with the people of Haiti, where a magnitude 7.0 earthquake hit on Tuesday, and that the U.S. stood ready to help the island nation.

White House offi cials said Obama asked aides to

make sure U.S. personnel at the embassy in Port-au-Prince were safe.

Offi cials also said Obama told them to start preparing in case human-itarian assistance was needed.

“The U.S. Embassy in Port-au-Prince is current-ly accounting for staff and

attempting to activate the U.S. citizen warden net-work, but reports land lines and cell phone com-munication are down in the capital,” State Depart-ment spokesman Gordon Duguid said.

Karel Zelenka, a Catho-lic Relief Services repre-sentative in the capital of Port-au-Prince, told U.S. colleagues before phone service failed that “there must be thousands of peo-ple dead.”

ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

HIGH POINT – The Rev. Dr. H. Beecher Hicks Jr., the fi fth minister in the 136-year history of 6,000-member Met-ropolitan Baptist Church in Washington, D.C., will be the keynote speaker for the Martin Luther King Jr. Day service at High Point Uni-versity.

The 11 a.m. Jan. 18 service at Hayworth Chapel is open to the public to celebrate the life and work of the late civil rights leader.

Hicks, a native of Baton Rouge, La., is a widely pub-lished author of fi ve books, the two most recent volumes of which are “My Soul’s Been Anchored” and “Preaching through a Storm.” In Novem-ber 1993, “Ebony Magazine” honored him with the dis-tinction as one of America’s “Fifteen Greatest African-American Preachers.”

Louise Toppin, soprano, and the Genesis Gospel Choir will provide music for the service. She is a profes-sor of voice at East Carolina University and serves as the artistic director and presi-dent of the arts organization VIDEMUS.

Hicks has served as pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist Church since 1977. Selected as one of the original Martin Luther King Fellows at the Colgate Rochester Divinity School in 1972, Hicks earned his doctor of ministry degree in theology in 1975. In 1994, Hicks received the Merrill Fellowship for post-gradu-

ate study at Harvard Divin-ity School, and in 1999 he received his master’s degree in business administration from George Washington University.

Toppin, an international performer, has received critical acclaim for her oper-atic, orchestral and oratorio performances in the United States, Czech Republic, Swe-den, England and Spain. She has recorded eight compact discs of American Music, and has produced CDs for Koch International and Al-bany Records. Members of the Kappa Alpha Psi, Delta Sigma Theta, Alpha Kappa Alpha and Zeta Phi Beta will serve as worship lead-ers and ushers. The service will be streamed live online at www.highpoint.edu/cha-pel/services.

HIGH POINT – The le-gal situation involving the furniture showroom and trade show complex Showplace remains little changed fi ve months after the property was placed in receivership through the courts.

A letter sent by an attor-ney involved in the case to the Guilford County Trial Court Administrator in-dicates that the receiver-ship isn’t “ripe for trial or other disposition.” Attor-ney J. Patrick Haywood of Greensboro suggests to the court that the matter “be placed on the inactive calendar.”

Haywood told The High Point Enterprise that a case on an inactive cal-endar means nothing will happen with the mat-ter “until some further time.”

The last activity with the receivership, as in-dicated in the case fi le through Guilford County Superior Court, is the let-ter from mid-November asking that the matter be moved to the inactive cal-endar.

Guilford County Supe-

rior Court Judge Lindsay Davis Jr. signed an order in early August placing Showplace and four oth-er downtown showroom properties in receivership after the note and deed of trust were deemed in de-fault. Five years ago, the original principal amount for the loan on the fi ve buildings was $81 million. Showplace and the other four properties were pur-chased in 2005 by a group of local investors and a Chicago-based private eq-uity fi rm.

Charlotte-based Lincoln Harris was brought in as receiver and is managing Showplace.

The operators of Show-place and the other show-room buildings continue to progress and are expect-ing a strong spring High Point Market, said Lin-coln Harris Senior Vice President Dave Oddo.

The status of the receiv-ership “is pretty much as it was when we started,” Oddo said Tuesday.

Lincoln Harris offi cials don’t have any indication when the receivership sta-tus will change in the im-mediate future, he said.

BY PAT KIMBROUGHENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Evidence gathered by police in High Point’s most recent ho-micide includes statements from two witnesses, as well as DNA material, according to newly released court documents.

The information is included in search warrants for the home and car of Johnathan Brandon Mack, one of the suspects in the Dec. 21 shooting death of 19-year-old Kinitez Dante Gil-

bert in the 300 block of Ennis Street. Mack and Trevorri Jamel McFadden, both 17, each face fi rst-degree murder charges.

Applications for the warrants by Detective Shawn Hosier gave the fol-lowing account:

Two witnesses identifi ed Mack as the person who shot Gilbert after the victim threw a brick through the window of a Honda Accord driven by Mack, who voluntarily came to the police department after the incident and gave a statement to a detective. Some time later, Mack, a senior at

T. Wingate Andrews High School, was ad-vised he was under arrest for murder. The detective read him his Miranda rights, which he waived, agreeing to speak with police.

Mack said he was driving a dark blue 1992 Honda Ac-cord through the Southside neigh-borhood “when he confronted an unknown black male” who “threw a brick through a window of his ve-hicle.” Mack said that “after this incident took place,” he drove to his Forrest Street home.

Police were looking for fi rearms, clothing, fi ngerprints, gang writings, gang paraphernalia, photographs showing associations with co-defen-dants, and other evidence when they searched Mack’s home. They were looking for DNA evidence, such as blood or saliva, cigarette butts, bot-tles or other items in his car.

Inventories of seized property included with the warrants stated police seized a Zephyr baseball cap, a red bandanna and pieces of paper with Mack’s name from his bed-room.

A crime lab technician took DNA samples from four door handles, the steering wheel and gear shifter of the car, as well as “trace evidence” from the front and rear seats.

Mack and McFadden have been jailed without bond since their ar-rests.

Virginia HustrulidHIGH POINT – Mrs. Vir-

ginia Lee Bradshaw Hus-trulid, 87, a resident of River Landing at Sandy Ridge died on Friday Jan-uary 8, 2010, at the Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center in Win-ston-Salem.

Jenny was born March 26, 1922, in Bluefi eld, WV, a daughter of Aubrey Oakley and Lottie Davis Bradshaw. She attended Bluefi eld public schools and Bluefi eld Business College.

Jenny was a devoted homemaker, loving grand-mother, competitive golfer, avid bridge player and friend to many. She enjoyed her work with the Hospital Grey Ladies, Red Cross Bloodmobile, Ju-nior Woman’s Club and as a Girl Scout and Cub Scout Leader. Jenny was a mem-ber of the Wake Robin Garden Club, High Point Country Club and High Point Literary League. She was a former member of the First Presbyterian Church and was a member at Wesley Memorial Unit-ed Methodist Church.

Union rep advises silence as a response

D ear Abby: I’m at my wit’s end at work. There’s a

woman in her early 30s here who is out of the closet, and very vocal about being a butch les-bian. I’m straight, happily married and 20 years older than she is.

Abby, she keeps hitting on me! I’ve told her I’m not interested and that I’m straight. She then makes comments that she has converted other women. She does this in front of others and it’s mortifying. Yes, I’m old-fashioned and religious, and I do con-sider her sexual behavior immoral. I am also tired of feeling like I have to apologize for my religious beliefs.

I have spoken to my union rep, but was told not to create trouble for another union member. I’m sorry, but I don’t like this sexual harassment. I want to go to HR about it, but I’m afraid it will start a riot in the union if she’s fi red over this complaint. There have been other complaints about her harassing people. Please advise. – Being Harassed in Illinois

Dear Harassed: Your union rep is wrong. Would the person tell you to toler-ate sexual harassment if your harasser was a man? The behavior you have described is against the law whether it’s done by a male or female, regardless of sexual orientation.

Tell your rep you want it stopped im-mediately, and that if it isn’t, you WILL take it to HR. Your religious be-liefs do not enter into this. The

woman’s behavior is creat-ing a hostile work environ-ment.

Dear Abby: I’m a 26-

year-old minor league baseball player. I have been involved in two serious relationships. My fi rst was a girl I became engaged to when I was 20 and in college playing baseball there. I loved her and was committed to her, but she was jealous of my “fi rst love” – my sport. She constantly tried in subtle ways to get me to quit. After we had a huge fi ght, she fi nally threw my ring back at me.

I stayed single for a couple of years and then met a woman and began slowly dating her. The fi rst year our relationship was good, but over the next three years the same is-sues arose and I was hear-ing, “You’re selfi sh.” “You don’t love me.” “Grow up!”

Being a professional baseball player has been my dream since I was 5, and I’m not ready to give up on it yet. Both these women continue to

call and text me crying because it didn’t work out. I’m angry at them for not supporting me, but I also feel sad for them because all they did was love me. What do I do about them and about trusting women with my heart and dreams? – Loveless in The Midwest

Dear Loveless: Stop allowing those women to lay a guilt trip on you. I’m sure when you met them you made it clear that you wanted a career in baseball – and the sacrifi ce that would mean for all parties concerned. Instead of wasting more time looking back, tell these women goodbye once and for all and stop responding to their calls and messages.

To be the wife of a profes-sional athlete takes a spe-cial kind of woman, some-one with a strong sense of independence because of the number and length of the inevitable separations that come with the sports business. Look around at your teammates who have successful marriages, then ask them if they know any eligible ladies. I can’t guar-antee you won’t strike out, but I’m willing to wager that the odds of hitting a home run will be better.

RALEIGH (AP) – Gov. Beverly Perdue’s pro-posal to complete Char-lotte’s outer loop by en-tering into an extended payment plan with a contractor is legal, the state Attorney General’s Offi ce said Tuesday.

The formal advisory opinion, written by At-torney General Roy Cooper’s chief deputy, affi rms the governor’s earlier comments that state lawyers had no problems with the al-ternative fi nancing idea before she unveiled it in November as the way to fi nish Interstate 485.

The four-page opinion requested Dec. 9 by state Transportation Secre-tary Gene Conti appears to keep on track the ac-celerated completion date for the loop to 2014 — still behind the origi-nal schedule but at least six years earlier than the most recent target.

“We have been unable to identify any provi-sion of North Carolina law that would prohibit

the contracting proposaldescribed by NCDOT,”Chief Deputy AttorneyGeneral Grayson Kelleywrote Conti. “Nor arewe aware of any case lawrestricting delayed pay-ments by a state entity toa contractor.”

The letter came a daybefore Perdue visitsCharlotte, where shepromised city leaderslast year she would fi nda way to jump start I-485’s construction.

“The goal is to com-plete the loop as effi cient-ly and cost-effectively aspossible,” Perdue saidin a prepared statementTuesday.

State Treasurer Ja-net Cowell’s offi ce saidlate Tuesday it remainsconcerned about the“design-build-finance”concept, which has nev-er been used before inNorth Carolina. An out-side lawyer told Cowell’sstaff in November hedoesn’t believe state lawgives DOT the power tofi nance such an agree-ment on its own.

MOREHEAD CITY (AP) – North Caro-lina officials reopened roadways and lifted a voluntary evacuation around a busy port af-ter a forklift operator accidentally punctured containers of a highly explosive substance.

The port of Morehead City remained closed Tuesday evening as workers continued to clean up the spill of

PETN, the same sub-stance used in a Christ-mas Day airline bomb-ing attempt.

Officials said none of the PETN got into the adjacent water.

Emergency Servic-es Director Jo Ann Smith said the port is expected to reopen by Wednesday morning. Smith said the hazard wasn’t as strong as ear-lier in the day.

GRADUATES: Instructional basketball league winds up.

F rom an early age, Randy Sadler lived life his way. He

ignored his parents’ advice, broke the rules and got into mischief.

When other little boys were sleeping soundly, Sadler often was drifting on the forbidden waters of the Waterways Ex-periment Station across

the street from his home in Vicks-burg, Miss. As a teenager, he was so untamed that he was kicked out of the church youth group.

“I always thought I had a better way. And, even if I didn’t, I wanted to try it my way anyway,” Sadler said.

At 15, while on a 10-day Boy Scout hiking trip in New Mexico, Sadler saw a new possibility. A 60-year-old Scout leader said he wanted to help the boys. He actually took part of the weight from their packs and added it to his own. Even though he was always the last one to camp, he always made it.

“I listened to him be-cause he set the example. He told us that we didn’t have to rush through life. A slow and steady pace would get us where we needed to go,” Sadler said.

It would be years be-fore Sadler applied that advice, but the seeds of change were planted. In the meantime, Sadler found that he loved the mountains and that they taught him life skills.

“When I was in my 20s, I led a less experienced hiker on a shortcut through a valley. It took a lot longer, and we had to turn back. I had to carry both packs back up the mountain because the other hiker was ex-hausted,” Sadler said.

In that instance, Sadler paid the painful price for not doing his homework.

By the time Sadler was in his mid-20s he con-cluded that experienced people often give helpful advice and that follow-ing the rules is benefi -cial. At 30, Sadler mar-ried and even became a spiritual man. He’d proven to himself that like his former Scout leader, God doesn’t just tell people what to do; he actually helps them carry their load.

One year later, Sadler started his own business in Kernersville, Accent Marble & Tile.

Today, Sadler is 55. He still makes frequent trips to the mountains with his wife, Peggy, and their 9-year-old daugh-ter, Aubrey.

“I’m teaching my daughter to pace herself, enjoy God’s creations and follow the rules so she doesn’t get lost like her daddy did,” he said.

Swollen leg needs prompt attention

D ear Dr. Donohue: My mother-in-law is 71 and does not

like going to the doctor. For the past two years, her right leg swells up every day. She says that when she wakes up, she is fi ne and the leg doesn’t hurt. She refuses to see a doctor. My husband said, “I’m taking you,” and she started crying. Is there anything you can say to encourage her to see a doctor? – Anon.

I can assure your moth-er-in-law that doctors aren’t such bad people. She might be surprised and actually like the one she sees. She has to fi nd out the cause of her swell-ing and the appropriate treatment for it. Delay-ing treatment can lead to changes that are close to impossible to undo.

Our bodies are supplied with lymph vessels, tiny hoses that suction up tissue fl uid and return it to the circulation. When something obstructs those lymph vessels, fl uid remains in that part of the body. Most likely, this is what’s wrong with your mother’s leg. She has a lymph-vessel obstruc-tion that causes her leg to swell. It goes down at night because the leg is elevated and gravity stops pulling fl uid into the leg.

Or she could have trou-ble with the veins in her legs. Their valves might not be working well. In that case, blood stays in the leg veins and fl uid oozes into the tissues.

If your mother-in-law is adamant about not consulting a doctor, she can do some things that

will help her leg. She must elevate her leg as often as she can and for as long as she can during the day. By “elevation,” I mean her leg has to be higher

than her heart. She can attain that position only by lying down with her leg propped up on pil-lows. She should never cross her legs when she’s sitting. A swollen leg encourages infections, so she should never go barefoot or wear sandals. Compression hose (elas-tic hose), preferably fi tted for her leg, squeeze fl uid out of the leg and back into the circulation.

Dear Dr. Donohue: I take high blood pressure medicine, and it gives me a dry mouth. It keeps me awake all night. I gargle with Biotene, but that doesn’t last long. Can you suggest something else? – G.J.

Have you asked your doctor for a different blood pressure medicine?

I can give you the names of a number of products that might keep your mouth moist-ened longer. Numoisyn Lozenges and Numoisyn Liquid require a doctor’s prescription. OraMoist, a time-release disc that sticks to the roof of the mouth, can keep the mouth from drying out for many hours. You can fi nd it in most drugstores.

MouthKote Oral Moistur-izer and spray work well. Biotene also comes as a gel, and that might last longer than the gargle preparation you’re using.

Medicines that promotesaliva production includepilocarpine, Salagen and Evoxac. You need a pre-scription for these.

Dear Dr. Donohue: When is the best time to get a regular fl u shot? I read that the shot is effec-tive for only four months.Getting it in September or October will leave you unprotected from Janu-ary on. – R.H.

Vaccines promote the production of antibod-ies, ammunition against germs. Within two weeks of the fl u shot, antibodies to the fl u virus are at a level high enough to af-ford protection. Peak an-tibody levels are reached in two to four months. They remain high for some time. By the next fl u season, however, theirlevel has waned and pro-tection is gone.

Infl uenza most often hits its high attack rate in January and February. Vaccine administered as early as September still affords good protection in those months and later. October is the usual monthfor vaccination, but it can be effectively given in November and December, and even into January. DR. DONOHUE regrets he is un-able to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible. Readers may write him at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475

Ford has not decided yet whether to get into this year’s Democratic primary in New York, but the former congressman from Tennessee wrote in Tuesday’s New York Post that he was “strongly considering running.”

He is doing so, he said, because the nation is at its best when “we trust competition to refi ne the steel of our convictions and the truth of our ar-guments.”

Spicy blend saves plain chicken breastsBY JIM ROMANOFF

FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

B oneless, skinless chick-en breasts can almost always benefi t from a

marinade, which imparts both moisture and fl avor.

Most marinades are made from a combination of oil and an acidic ingredient, such as citrus juice, vinegar or wine. The marinade for this broiled spicy saffron chicken has nonfat plain yogurt (which is acidic) as its base and only a tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil.

Because yogurt is only mildly acidic, it won’t make foods mushy or tough, making it well suited for delicate chicken, fi sh or shrimp. Marinades with stronger acids, such as bal-

samic vinegar, are better suited for beef.

This marinade gets its spici-ness from a blend of cayenne pepper, cumin and cinnamon, but also an exotic fl oral bouquet and lovely golden color from a few pinches of saffron, a prized ingredient in Indian cooking.

Saffron is expensive, but a little goes a long way. Always purchase saffron as threads rather than ground, which can have poor fl avor. There really is no substitute for the exotic aroma of saffron, but if you like, you can leave it out and the dish will still taste delicious.

Serve broiled spicy saffron chicken with fragrant basmati rice and a side of caulifl ower stir-fried with onion, cumin seed, ground coriander and chopped fresh ginger.

Broiled Spicy Saffron ChickenStart to fi nish: 1 hour (10 min-

utes active)Servings: 4

1 pinch saffron threads (1/4 teaspoon)

2 tablespoons hot water1/4 cup nonfat plain yogurt1/2 small onion, fi nely chopped2 cloves garlic, minced1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper1 tablespoon lemon juice1/2 tablespoon honey1/2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive

oil1/4 teaspoon salt1/4 teaspoon ground cumin1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon4 boneless, skinless chicken

breast halves (1 pound)

In a small bowl, crumble the saf-fron threads. Add the hot water, then steep for 5 minutes.

In a shallow dish, combine the yogurt, onion, garlic, cayenne, lemon juice, honey, oil, salt, cumin and cinnamon. Stir in the saffron water. Add the chicken breasts and turn to coat well. Cover and mari-nate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 12 hours.

When ready to cook, heat the broiler. Coat a broiler pan rack with cooking spray.

Place the chicken on the rack over the broiler pan. Broil the chicken 3 to 5 inches from the heat source, turning once, until it is cooked through and no longer pink at the center, 4 to 6 minutes per side.

A saffron marinade, with its exotic aroma, is a highly valued part of Indian cooking, and it keeps this Broiled Spicy Saffron Chicken moist and fl avorful.

New cookbooks aim to help you eat right BY MICHELE KAYAL

FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Y ou’re probably thinking about those resolutions vowing to eat better, cook

more and shed the holiday pounds.

To help you get started – and spend that gift card from your mother-in-law – the following are the latest healthy-eating, better-living cookbooks:

• “Moosewood Restaurant Cooking For Health,” the latest installment from the Moosewood Collective, offers more than 200 creative, easy-to-prepare vegetar-

ian and vegan recipes. Greek-tomato yogurt soup delivers a tasty, tangy take on ordinary tomato soup and packs a big calcium and lycopene punch in just 30 minutes. Four stovetop tofus – including pomegranate-glazed and tropical lime – make creative use of the potentially boring staple. Love the info on calories, carbs, protein and other nutrients with each recipe.

• “Eating Well: 500-Calorie Dinners” screams “New Year’s resolution.” Part cookbook, part cheerleader, the book combines a seven-step weight loss plan with meals that clock in at 500 calories

or less. Dishes such as broccoli and goat cheese souffl e and mini-meatloaves take the guesswork out of portion control by being prepared in individual servings.

Recipes abound for shrimp and scallops. There’s also lamb chops, steak with gorgonzola and cara-melized onions, and mozzarella-stuffed turkey burgers. And who knew hot fudge pudding cake could have only 142 calories?

• In “The Kind Diet,” actress Alicia Silverstone promises to help you feel great, lose weight and save the planet. Silverstone pairs arguments for veganism with pictures of cute chicks (the

poultry sort) and piggies, and wraps up with recipes for dishes such as radicchio pizza with truffl e oil, pecan-crusted seitan and egg salad sandwiches made of tofu.

• “Clean Food” by Terry Walters is designed to help you adjust your lifestyle, changing not just what you eat, but how and when you eat, and the way you think about it. More than 200 recipes organized accord-ing to season make use of whole grains, legumes, sea vegetables, nuts, seeds and seasonal pro-duce in healthful and innovative ways.

Yesterday’s Puzzle SolvedWednesday, Jan. 13, 2010CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Orlando

Bloom, 33; Stephen Hendry, 41; Julia Louis-Drey-fus, 49; Richard Moll 67

HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Take the road less trav-eled this year if you want to come out ahead of the game. There is money to be made if you aren’t too rigid or stuck in your ways. Problems with institu-tions, government agencies or large corporations will be troublesome. Approach each situation with honesty and you should be able to sway anyone who is opposing you. Your numbers are 4, 14, 21, 23, 29, 38, 40

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don’t jump into anything too fast. You need time to digest what’s going on around you. Making a move that is not in your best interest will jeopardize your chance to get ahead professionally and personally. ★★

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You can’t back down now when there is so much to gain by tak-ing action. Travel, learning and professional ad-vancement will all play a role in your future. Don’t trust anyone else to take care of your business. ★★★★★

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Learn whatever you can from the people traveling down a path similar to yours. Sharing your fi ndings will enable you to grow in directions that aren’t possible on your own. By working hard and cutting your costs, you will end up in a good position. ★★★

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t let opposi-tion be your downfall. Instead, welcome what’s being said and use the information to better serve yourself and your ideas. You can make amends for anything you have done to upset someone you care for. ★★★

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You must put all your efforts into getting along with the people you deal and work with. Don’t let a minor health problem turn into something much worse by neglecting proper care. An old responsibility will not be easy to walk away from. ★★★

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Change is good, es-pecially if you initiate it. A romantic encounter will help to stabilize your current personal situ-ation, allowing you to know without a doubt the direction you want to take in the future. ★★★★★

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don’t count on any-one or anything. Do the work yourself if you want something done properly. Nothing will go accord-ing to plan and problems with loved ones will leave you feeling down. Explore new possibilities. ★★

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You can make some very interesting moves if you communicate with people headed in the same direction as you. Dealing with publishing, media or any other form of communication will work in your favor. Push, present and promote what you do best. ★★★★

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Industrious action will be required if you want to turn a talent or service you have into something that everyone wants. Pull out every means available to you in or-der to hold on to what you’ve worked so hard to achieve. ★★★

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The only one standing in your way is you. Lift any restrictions or limitations you are harboring and get to the point. You have a lot to offer if you take old ideas and mix them with your new and progressive tac-tics. ★★★

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Not everyone will be upfront with you. Someone may even try to take advantage of you. Surround yourself with people who can offer suggestions and teach you new skills. The more you do for others, the better equipped you will be for your own purposes. ★★★

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The more en-terprising you are, the better you can deal with groups and getting your ideas or plans up and run-ning. A partnership that is holding you back must be ended. ★★★★

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

One of the free-spir-ited members of my club showed up for a team-of-four match wearing a sweatshirt bearing this message: “Out of my mind. Back in 10 minutes.” Un-fortunately, he was still away while trying to play today’s four spades.

West took two high clubs and continued with the eight. South ruffed East’s ten, cashed the K-A of dia-monds and ruffed a dia-mond with dummy’s six of trumps. East happily over-ruffed with his ten and led a trump, removing dum-my’s ace. Then South’s last diamond was a loser, and he went down.

EIGHT MINUTESDeals take an average

of eight minutes to play. (In tournaments, about an hour is allotted for an eight-deal match.) If South had taken two min-utes longer, he might not have lost his mind – and his contract with it.

South should carefully ruff the third diamond with the ace of trumps. He takes the ace of hearts, ruffs a heart high and ruffs his last diamond with the six. East can overruff with the ten, but South takes the rest with high trumps.

DAILY QUESTIONYou hold: S None H Q

10 8 6 D Q 9 8 5 4 C A K J 8. You open one diamond, your partner responds one spade, you bid two clubs and he jumps to three spades. What do you say?

ANSWER: Your open-ing bid, with no spade length and a poor long suit, was borderline. Part-ner’s jump is invitational to game, not forcing. Since your hand couldn’t be worse, pass. Don’t bid 3NT; lacking transporta-tion, you’d have trouble setting up and cashing spade tricks.

FAMOUS, FABULOUS, FRIVOLOUS---

ATLANTA (AP) – Atlan-ta police say a thief stole $1 million in jewelry, cloth-ing and other belongings from R&B singer Usher’s SUV while he shopped last month.

According to an Atlanta Police Department report, the Atlanta resident was returning from the air-port on Dec. 14 when he

stopped at an AT&T Store in an upscale s h o p p i n g area in the B u c k h e a d n e i g h b o r -hood.

Police say an uniden-tifed man pried open the driver’s side door of the

SUV and stole $1,065,700 worth of laptops, camer-as, jewels and other items. A witness tells police the suspect escaped in a bur-gundy Chevrolet Impala.

A message left seek-ing comment wasn’t im-mediately returned by a spokeswoman for Usher, whose real name is Usher Raymond IV.

WHO’S NEWS---

In his own view, Charles Woodson put together his best pro season in 2009. How ap-propriate, then, that he is The Associated Press 2009 NFL Defen-sive Player of the Year.

The versatile Woodson tied for the league lead with nine interceptions, returning three for touchdowns, and was a key to the Packers’ turnaround on defense. His role in Green Bay’s ranking second in overall defense, fi rst in interceptions (30), takeaways (40) and turnover margin (plus-24) earned Woodson 28 votes Tuesday from a nation-wide panel of 50 sports writers and broadcasters who cover the NFL.

“It’s a great honor,” Wood-son said.

He doubled the number of votes for New York Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis in becoming the fi rst Green Bay winner since Reggie White in 1998 and just the second Packer in the 36-year history of the award. Wood-son, the 1997 Heisman Trophy recipient, is the fi rst cornerback chosen top defensive player since Deion Sanders in 1994.

N orth Carolina’s amazing homecourt winning streak over Clemson is the stuff of legend.

The Tar Heels own a 54-0 record against the Tigers in Chapel Hill.

But Carolina also sports a pretty im-pressive mark against the Tigers in Clemson.

The Heels stand 35-15 all-time in Clemson, including a 26-12 mark at Littlejohn Colise-

um, the site of tonight’s meeting (9 p.m., ESPN).UNC carries a 10-game winning streak

overall against Clemson into this key early ACC test. I think the Tar Heels will be hard-pressed to extend that streak to 11.

The Tigers (13-3, 1-1 ACC) showcase a big, physical lineup sparked by Trevor Booker and enough speed in the backcourt to give the Tar Heels (12-4, 1-0) fi ts.

Carolina answers with tons of frontcourt

fi repower of its own, led by Ed Davis, Deon Thompson and Tyler Zeller.

The outcome could rest with the play of UNC point guard Larry Drew II. When he performs well, the Tar Heels click. When he struggles, the offense tends to sputter.

We should know much more about the Tar Heels and the Tigers after this clash.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) – Scott Wood scored a career-high 31 points to lead N.C. State to an 88-81 upset of No. 25 Florida State on Tuesday night, spoiling the Atlantic Coast Conference home opener for the Seminoles.

The Wolfpack (12-5, 1-2 ACC) hit 11 of 23 3-pointers with Wood con-necting on 7 of 11 attempts from behind the arc. Farnold Degand added 13 points and Julius Mays 12, including 10 straight free throws for the winners.

N.C. State rode an early 16-1 run to take a 23-12 lead as Flori-da State went 6:33 between fi eld goals. The Wolfpack never trailed afterward.

Chris Singleton scored a career-high 22 points and Solomon Alabi

added 15 for Florida State (13-4 1-2) which lost its second league game in three days.

The Wolfpack looks to make it two straight conference victories when Clemson visits Raleigh on Saturday at noon.

Wood, Wolfpack chop up FSU

BY GREER SMITHENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

WINSTON-SALEM – Senior guard Ishmael Smith came through like a veteran when it mattered most Tuesday night.

After calmly dribbling off clock near mid-court in the closing ticks of overtime, Smith then drove into the lane and canned a fl oater with 18 seconds that proved to be the game winner as Wake Forest edged Maryland 85-83 at Joel Coliseum.

Maryland took a crack at the basket in the last 10 seconds but came up short when Greivis Vasquez and Sean Mosley missed as Wake improved to 12-3 and 2-1 in the ACC. Maryland drops to 10-5, 1-1.

Overtime was forced when Al-Farouq Aminu hit two of three free throws with 29.3 seconds left to play, and Maryland was un-able to convert with time running out.

Vasquez gave the Terps their fi nal lead at 78-76 by hitting the fi rst basket of the over-time. Aminu hit two free throws to tie it. Ari Stewart then converted consecutive jumpers (his only buckets of the game) to put Wake up 82-78. Maryland fought back, forcing an 83-83 tie when Jordan Williams tipped in a Vasquez miss with 50 seconds left.

Aminu led the Deacs with 24 points and 13 rebounds. C.J. Harris had 18 and

Smith 16 after hitting 8 of 23 attempts.Vasquez led Maryland with 30. Williams

had 12, Landon Milborne 11 and Adrian Bowie 10.

Wake led by as many as eight in the second half, at 58-50 with 11:52 left to play, on the strength of its big men.

Chas McFarland, who started the second half after being out of the lineup at the be-ginning of the game, scored six of Wake’s fi rst eight points after intermission.

Tony Woods’ dunk, a layup by Ish Smith and a layup by Aminu off a defl ection com-pleted the burst. Maryland slowly whittled the margin, fi nally tying the score at 68 on a 3-pointer by Vasqez with 2:55 left in regula-tion and then going ahead for the fi rst time in the half on Landon Milborne’s trey with 2:10 to go in regulation.

Despite a slow start, Wake carved out a 42-39 lead at the half. Hitting just 6 of their fi rst 17 shots while also being careless with the ball, the Deacons trailed 23-15 with 8:27 left in the fi rst half – at the end of a fi ve-minute stretch in which they scored four points.

Wake then caught fi re, going on a 15-4 run that began with consecutive 3-point plays by Gary Clark and Aminu. Sophomore forward Aminu capped the burst with a 3-pointer and an alley-oop dunk off a feed from Ish Smith. The Deacons hit 6 of 10 shots during the streak.

Wake’s lead grew to as many as fi ve on two occasions thanks to a bucket and consecu-tive treys by freshman guard C.J. Harris. Harris fi nished the half with 13 points.

RENTON, Wash. (AP) – Pete Carroll took over as the new coach and execu-tive vice president of the Seattle Se-ahawks on Tuesday with an authority that he said mirrors the latitude South-ern California gave him to restore its dynasty.

“They have embraced my approach ... in a manner in which they want to wipe the path clear and give me the clearest opportunity to bring every-thing that I have to offer. That’s really what I was looking for, the trust and belief from the top of the organization,” Carroll said a day after his public fare-well from USC.

“They don’t have an agenda of how they want their football played. They want me to do that. That’s exactly and precisely what I was looking for.”

Carroll was breathless while describ-ing how he snared the exact opportuni-ty he’s always wanted in the NFL – but never thought he’d get after New Eng-land fi red him following three seasons as coach through 1999.

“I am so fi red up to be here today.

Right from the beginning, they un-dersold. This is a tremendous place tocome to work,” Carroll said momentsafter Seahawks CEO Tod Leiweke ledhim on a tour of the Seahawks’ luxuri-ous headquarters for the fi rst time.

Absorbing the scene and what theriches of Seahawks owner Paul Allenare affording him, Carroll said: “It’s re-ally almost dreamlike for me.”

The coach who went 97-19 with twonational championships and sevenconsecutive Pac-10 titles while at USCwore a dark blue suit and paisley tiepatterned in Seahawks green andblue.

The look was new. The Seahawkspromise his role will be familiar.

“As guys get other jobs around theleague, there isn’t always that level oftrust and communication from the topdown, and there isn’t always that will-ingness to let you do exactly what youfeel and how you should do it. That’swhat I’ve been given here – and I can’ttell you how excited I am about that,”Carroll said.

CHARLOTTE (AP) – The Carolina Panthers have agreed to a new deal that will keep training camp at Wofford College in Spar-tanburg, S.C., for at least another fi ve years.

The Panthers have trained at the alma mater of owner Jerry Richardson since they

entered the NFL in 1995. The original 15-year deal expired at the end of the 2009 camp.

The Panthers have bucked the trend to move training camp to their own facility. Coach John Fox has said he en-joys having the team go away, but not be too far

from Charlotte. Spartan-burg is about a 90-minutedrive, allowing for quicktrips to treat injuredplayers.

The deal announced onTuesday was completedby new Panthers presi-dent Danny Morrison,who was once athleticdirector at Wofford.

CHAPEL HILL – Five players have left the North Carolina football program and four freshmen have enrolled early, a team spokesman confi rmed Tuesday.

Running back Jamal Womble, line-backer Hawatha Bell, tight end Vince Jacobs, wide receiver Rashad Mason and tight end Randy White will not re-turn for the 2010 season.

However, freshmen offensive line-men James Hurst, a fi ve-star recruit from Plainfi eld, Ind., and Terrence Leifheit, a four-star recruit from Wilm-ington, along with tight end Sean Fitz-patrick from Pittsford, N.Y., and cor-nerback D.J. Bunn, who transferred from Hargrave Military Academy, all have enrolled for UNC’s spring semes-ter.

Womble, a redshirt freshman, citedacademic problems on his Facebookpage and said he will transfer to a ju-nior college.

Womble had six carries for 41 yardsin three games this season beforebreaking his right wrist against Geor-gia Southern.

Bell, a freshman, was suspended forthe Meineke Car Care Bowl on Dec. 26for violating team rules and ultimatelydismissed from the team.

Jacobs decided to forego his fi nalyear of eligibility and will graduate inMay. Mason, a sophomore, decided totransfer after being suspended indefi -nitely earlier in the season for violat-ing team rules, and redshirt freshmanWhite quit the team and is leavingUNC.

Bell, Jacobs, Mason and White hadno statistics for the 2009 season.

MADRID (AP) – For-mer Renault Formula One driver Nelson Pi-quet Jr., who last year triggered a scandal by revealing he deliberately crashed his car to help a teammate, is moving to NASCAR in 2010.

Piquet Jr. said Tues-day on his Web site that his “fi rst 18 months in F1 did not go as planned. I have decided to focus on something different and have chosen to take a route in America.”

Piquet Jr. hasn’t raced since being fi red by Re-nault in August after 28 races in which his best fi nish was second at the 2008 German GP. He did not reveal which team he would race for but says more details will come soon.

The 24-year-old Bra-

zilian driver, the son of three-time F1 champion Nelson Piquet, admitted crashing his car at the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix on team orders to help Fernando Alonso win the race.

He retired from 11 races and constantly ac-cused the French team of favoring teammate Alonso.

“I have spent the last few months care-fully evaluating my options for this year,” Piquet Jr. said on his Web page. “NASCAR is hugely challenging and nobody has ever come in as an outsider before and gone on to win it – it will be the ultimate challenge. This will be an awesome new chal-lenge for me, and a healthy one.”

Piquet Jr. says he’s switching to NASCAR HOUSTON (AP) – Pitch-

er Brett Myers wanted to return to the Philadelphia Phillies. After eight sea-sons, it felt like home.

When they didn’t make an effort to re-sign him, the right-hander turned to the Houston Astros and fi nalized a one-year con-tract Tuesday that guar-antees him $5.1 million.

The 29-year-old Myers became a free agent after spending his fi rst eight seasons with the Phillies.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) – After conducting his most extensive review in 15 years, Jacksonville Jaguars owner Wayne Weaver decided to stick with coach Jack Del Rio.

At least for another year. Weaver held a half-day meeting with Del Rio on Tuesday, then said the two would continue their re-building project with the Jaguars.

“I believe in Jack, that’s he’s the guy,” Weaver said two days before his 75th birthday. “After going through this

process, Jack is the guy that can get us there. The fans have to have enough trust in me to believe that I’m making the right decision for the franchise.”

The announcement came amid reports that Del Rio was a candidate to succeed Pete Carroll at Southern California. Carroll left USC to become the Seattle Seahawks coach. The L.A. Daily News reported Monday that Del Rio, an All-American linebacker for the Trojans in 1984, had been sent a contract to sign.

Lane Kiffi n is returning to Southern California as the Trojans’ coach after just one season at Tennes-see.

Kiffi n was chosen Tues-day to replace Pete Car-roll, his mentor and em-ployer for six seasons. Kiffi n was the Trojans’ offensive coordinator be-fore his brief stints with the Oakland Raiders and the Volunteers.

His father, respected defensive coach Monte Kiffi n, and longtime USC assistant Ed Orgeron also will leave Tennessee to join him, USC said in a statement.

The Trojans needed just one day to fi ll one of the most desirable jobs in col-lege football.

Carroll formally took over the Seattle Seahawks on Tuesday after winning 97 games over the past nine years.

The 34-year-old Kiffi n is one of Carroll’s top dis-ciples from his nine-year tenure at USC. Kiffi n, a former Fresno State quar-terback, worked his way up to offensive coordina-tor in 2005.

Kiffi n went 7-6 at Ten-nessee last season as the youngest head coach in the Football Bowl Subdivi-sion, but he also brought an unwelcome spotlight on the Vols with several minor NCAA violations.

CHARLOTTE (AP) – Stephen Jackson scored 16 of his career-high 43 points in the fourth quarter and the Charlotte Bobcats clamped down on defense after halftime to rally past the Houston Rock-ets, 102-94 on Tuesday night.

Surpassing his previous best scoring night of 42 set nearly six years ago with Indiana, Jackson shot 15 of 22 shots and made 10-of-11 free throws while adding eight rebounds.

Making up for a subpar night from Gerald Wallace, Jackson keyed Char-lotte’s comeback from a 13-point, sec-ond-quarter defi cit.

Boris Diaw added 19 points and seven rebounds, including the clinching three-point play with 50 seconds left.

Trevor Ariza scored 19 points and Luis Scola added 18 points and 14 rebounds for the Rockets, who had won seven straight against Charlotte.

TORONTO (AP) – Patrick Dwyer scored with less than fi ve minutes left to give the Carolina Hurricanes a 4-2 win over Toronto on Tuesday night.

Eric Staal, Brandon Sutter and Ray Whitney also scored for Carolina, which won on the road for the fourth time in 22 games. Lee Stempniak and Nikolai

Kulemin scored for Toronto, which has lost four straight.

The Maple Leafs created far more scor-ing chances than Carolina in the match-up of two of the NHL’s worst teams.

Toronto fi red 15 shots at goalie Cam Ward in the third period, but Dwyer scored at 15:34 for Carolina.

Mason Plumlee and his Duke teammates hope to have the right stuff tonight against Boston College at Cameron Indoor Stadium (7 p.m., ESPN).

BY BRYAN STRICKLANDENTERPRISE DURHAM BUREAU

DURHAM – Midway through the second half of Duke’s victory over Iowa State a week ago, freshman Mason Plum-lee soared off the fl oor in pursuit of a lob pass only to come down to Earth after his attempt at a one-handed dunk banged off the rim.

On Duke’s next pos-session, with Plumlee watching from the bench and his older brother back in the game, Miles Plumlee received a similar lob and went up strong for a two-handed dunk.

“Coach was just like, ‘In a close game, that’s huge. You just can’t af-ford that. You’ve got to go for everything with two hands,’” Mason Plumlee said. “I’m going to become a two-handed dunker really quick.”

In some ways, it was a case of big brother showing little brother the ropes, though Ma-son Plumlee didn’t re-ally need a sibling on the squad to learn a lesson.

Every freshman must endure some form of a learning curve, and Mc-Donald’s All-Americans are no exception. Still, as the No. 8 Blue Dev-ils continue conference play with tonight’s home game against Boston College (7 p.m., ESPN), Plumlee appears to be straightening things out since a wrist injury put a serious speed bump in his path.

“He’s a freshman, and there’s just a progres-sion that freshmen need to take, but his is a fast one because he gets it

and he’s good,” Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “He’s really taken a step forward in every game he’s played since coming back from the wrist injury.

“I think what we’re seeing now is what we would have seen before Christmas if he hadn’t been hurt, and then we probably would be see-ing something a little bit different now if he hadn’t been knocked back by that injury.”

Plumlee, projected as a starter heading into the season, spent the fi rst six games on the sidelines with a broken bone in his left wrist. He totaled 14 points and 10 rebounds in his fi rst fi ve games, but he has 38 points and 22 rebounds over the past four.

Miles Plumlee, still in the starting lineup while his brother con-tinues to come off the bench, also has enjoyed a recent spike, scoring 28 points and grabbing 25 rebounds over Duke’s past four games.

In Saturday’s loss at Georgia Tech, the Plum-lees combined to score 18 points on 9-of-10 shoot-ing with 11 rebounds against some of the best big men around.

“These guys are good, and they’re both devel-oping players,” Krzyze-wski said. “Both of them are going to be excellent players.”

The Blue Devils (13-2, 1-1 ACC) face a BC (10-6, 1-1) squad that lost un-disputed leader Tyrese Rice from its 2009 NCAA Tournament team, but has the other four start-ers back along with ev-ery key reserve.

CHAPEL HILL – North Carolina’s Marcus Ginyard has missed four games this season because of inju-ries, but whenever the fi fth-year senior is on the court, he provides Coach Roy Williams with a secu-rity blanket.

“You’ve got one guy who knows exactly what he’s supposed to do de-fensively and has a great chance to do it the right way,” Williams said. “I think if we can get him healthy and keep him healthy, it’s going to be a huge, huge bonus for our team.”

And the benefi t of having Ginyard on the court could pay off tonight

when the Tar Heels play their fi rst ACC road game at No. 24 Clemson (9 p.m., ESPN). UNC, which boasts fi ve freshmen, is 1-4 away from the Smith Center, which has not es-caped the players’ notice.

“I want to win no matter what we do, no matter where we go,” point guard Larry Drew II said. “The fact that we’re 1-4 on the road going into ACC play is a little alarming.”

The Tar Heels’ most recent road loss was in overtime at the College of Charleston on Jan 4., and it was the third straight game Ginyard had missed with a sprained right ankle. At the end of the game, the young Tar Heels (12-4, 1-0) made some mis-takes that Williams blamed partial-

ly on inexperience and coaching.If Ginyard had been playing – as

well as junior Will Graves, who wasout with an ankle sprain – there’sno way to know if the Charlestongame would have had a differentoutcome. But there’s also no argu-ment among the Tar Heels that theywould have felt more comfortablewith the more experienced playerson the court in a tight game.

UNC has won 10 consecutivegames against the Tigers (13-3, 1-1),but on the Heels’ most recent tripto Littlejohn Coliseum on Jan. 6,2008, they needed a 3-pointer fromWayne Ellington with 0.4 secondsremaining in overtime to pull outthe victory.

THOMASVILLE – Keaton Hawks lit up the scoreboard with 23 points and drilled six shots from beyond the arc Tuesday night to spark red-hot East Davidson in a 68-52 whip-ping of Thomasville.

“Keaton was unconscious shoot-ing the basketball,” East Davidson coach Matt Jacobs said. “The sec-ond half was the greatest defense we’ve played all year. The third quarter may have been the best defense we’ve played in the three years I’ve been here. That was in-credible.”

The Eagles coupled the strong de-

fensive showing with an offensive explosion in the third quarter for 26 points. East entered the period trailing 33-30, but outscored Thom-asville by 20 in the decisive quar-ter.

Forward Taylor Warren tallied 11 of his 22 points in the third and teamed with Hawks to form a po-tent scoring duo. The Bulldogs did not help the matter with careless play on the offensive end and a fail-ure to keep East off the glass.

The Eagles (8-6, 1-1) grabbed re-bounds on four different occasions off missed free throws to renew pos-sessions in the second half.

“Turnovers are always going to be a factor,” Bulldogs coach Tony

Clark said. “In the fi rst half, weplayed well. In the third quarter,I think our own frustration got ahold of us.”

Isaiah Williams, Cord Fordhamand Devante Hunter all had 10points for Thomasville (3-6, 1-1),but the trio struggled defensivelyin the second half and lost a largemeasure of composure in the fi naltwo quarters. A technical and sev-eral personal fouls helped East pileon the points.

Following a 10-minute stretchwhere it scored in bunches, Eastwas able to take the air out of theball in executing its four corners-style offense to perfection to pre-serve the double-digit lead.

WESLEYAN, CANNONCONCORD – Rachael Luck drained two key baskets

in the fourth quarter and Dakota Griffi n added a pair of clutch free throws in the closing moments to help Wesleyan Christian Academy’s girls hold on for a 52-44 win at Cannon School on Tuesday.

“It was great for us to get a win – it’s been a while,” said Trojans coach Matt Barber after his team im-proved to 4-13 for the year.

Wesleyan gets sweep at Cannon

BY DANIEL KENNEDYSPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

THOMASVILLE – Twenty-four min-utes of Thomasville’s game at East Davidson Tuesday night saw the Bulldogs match the Golden Eagles nearly stride-for-stride.

A one-point contest at the end of the third quarter, East’s veteran backcourt – led by Haley Grims-ley, Candace Fox and Stacy Hicks – transformed the game into a 16-point rout as East rolled 57-41.

“The score is defi nitely not indic-ative of how the game went,” East Davidson coach Brian Eddinger said. “There at the end, we started limiting them to one shot. Once we started boxing them out, that kind

of shifted the momentum a bit.”Grimsley led all scorers with 25

points and backcourt partner Fox scored 14, dished eight assists and nabbed four steals. Hicks proved a valuable commodity on the de-fensive end, as she grabbed nine rebounds and blocked two shots in addition to her customary role as yet another playmaker.

Fox proved to be the biggest thorn in the fl esh of the Bulldog defense by attacking off the dribble and cre-ating for teammates. She was able to penetrate at will to establish the tempo for East (13-2, 2-0) and secure a 28-24 lead at the half.

The Bulldogs began the second half on the offensive, negating the four-point halftime defi cit with a 3-

pointer from Christina Carter, whofi nished with 12 points, followed bya steal and layup by Jo Jo Davis.Thomasville (3-3, 1-1) scored just sixmore points in the quarter againstan aggressive Eagles’ defense, buttrailed by just one entering the fi -nal frame.

In the fourth quarter, Thomasvillebecame susceptible to the press. Cha-sity McCurdy paced the Bulldogswith 13 points, but had diffi cultyhandling the pressure from Grims-ley, Fox and Hicks. The team issued10 turnovers in the second half.

“For three quarters, we playedwith them,” Bulldogs coach Lecar-do Means said. “We’re very young,so I think they have to learn how toreact at certain times like tonight.”

TRIAD – So much has been made about the mix between distress and recov-ery in the housing market.

Are home prices stabi-lizing? Are sales steadily improving? Are foreclo-sures hampering the mar-ket?

For High Point Bank & Trust President Charles Myers, all the factors be-ing debated in the housing market come back to one critical point – uncertain-ty. Potential homebuyers, lenders and loan underwrit-ers remain unconvinced about the true direction of the economy and job mar-ket, which can lead to hesi-tancy.

“There’s so much uncer-tainty today, both from an economic standpoint and a political perspective. People have reacted by becoming more conservative in their spending,” Myers said.

And after the hous-ing indus-try collapse that helped prompt the recession, banks and other lend-ers have reassessed their prac-tices and t i g h t e n e d

standards in the wake of subprime and other gim-micky loans that contrib-uted to the crisis.

Based on High Point Bank’s underwriting of traditional mortgages, Myers said demand from prospective homebuy-ers for loans is up as 2010 begins. The homebuyer tax credit, approved by Congress a year ago and extended into the fi rst part of this year, is help-ing spur interest in home purchases.

“The problem is that we have to underwrite to the standards of the primary lenders. And the standards in underwriting have tight-ened. You’re seeing lower appraisals coming in on properties. Couple that

with the tighter qualifying requirements. That means some people are able to get the mortgages they had hoped for,” Myers said.

Bank of North Carolina offi cials see an opportu-nity for buyers to take advantage of the cur-rent market to purchase homes, said Chief Execu-tive Offi cer Swope Mont-gomery.

“You can purchase at a good entry point. We’re still willing to lend to people in this environment that have good credit and the where-withal to make a downpay-ment,” Montgomery said.

One critical factor that has limited lending and homebuying is the level of unemployment and unsure job market, My-ers and Montgomery said. Jobless rates in High Point have hovered around 11 percent through most of 2009.

One outcome of the stagnant job market is in-creasing foreclosures.

Foreclosure rates in Greensboro-High Point increased during October from the same period last year, according to First American CoreLogic. The

rate of foreclosures among outstanding mortgage loans is 1.37 percent for October, an increase of 0.59 percent-age points compared to October 2008 when the rate was 0.78 percent.

Foreclosure activity in Greensboro-High Point is lower than the national foreclosure rate of 3.02 per-cent for October.

“I think employment is one of the key underpin-nings of coming out of this economic cycle. When people have jobs, they have income. Obviously unem-ployment has had an effect

on foreclosures. If people are out of work, they can’t service their debts,” Myers said.

Even if someone has a job, the uncertainty with the economy and job market makes people less likely to either buy a home or place their house on the market to move up to a new home, Myers said.

Montgomery hopes that on the job market front, “we’re at the bottom, and the only way we’ve got to go is up.”

BRIEFS---Oil falls as cold eases grip on US

NEW YORK (AP) — Crude prices fell Tuesday as a global cold spell eased its grip, weakening demand for crude that had hit a 15-month high.

By midmorning, benchmark crude for February delivery fell $1.02 to $81.50 a barrel on the New York Mer-cantile Exchange. On Monday, a weakening U.S. dollar helped push oil to nearly $84 a barrel before falling 23 cents to close at $82.52.

China takes new steps to curb lending

BEIJING (AP) — China took new steps Tuesday to control bank lending, ordering institutions to set aside more reserves in a move to avert a surge in credit that Beijing worries might fuel inflation or assetprice bubbles.

China’s nascent rebound from the global crisis was fueled by a flood of lending by state-owned banks lastyear.

NEW YORK (AP) – In-vestors are suffering an-other bout of pessimism about the strength of the global economic recov-ery and the health of U.S. banks.

Stocks fell sharply Tues-day, sending the Standard & Poor’s 500 index down nearly 1 percent. Demand for the safety of Treasurys sent bond prices higher and interest rates lower, tightening the market barometer known as the yield curve.

A disappointing profi t report from Alcoa Inc. and moves by China to curtail growth raised questions about whether a 10-month surge in stocks can be sus-tained. At the same time, fi nancial stocks slid on concerns the government would impose taxes on bailed out banks.

Alcoa slid 11 percent after its earnings and rev-enue fell short of expec-tations. The aluminum producer is usually the fi rst big U.S. company to

report quarterly results, and investors look to its numbers for an early read on overall corporate earn-ings.

Alcoa’s report, which blamed weakness in aero-space, construction and gas turbines for the miss, weighed on energy and industrial stocks. The slide comes after Chevron Corp. warned late Mon-day that it expects thin profi t margins will hurt its earnings.

Concerns about the prospects for Alcoa and other companies that pro-duce raw materials rose after China again tight-ened its monetary policy and raised the amount of money that banks must hold in reserve. The moves are aimed at keep-ing growth in the coun-try from charging ahead too fast, but could also slow the pace of recovery in other countries and hurt companies that sell resources to the world’s most populous nation.

Pessimism drags stocks lower

DILBERT

WASHINGTON (AP) – Targeting an industry whose political deafness has vexed his adminis-tration, President Barack Obama is weighing a levy aimed at recovering tax dollars from govern-ment-rescued fi nancial institutions.

The proposed levy could put Obama on the popular side of public opinion that is decidedly against Wall Street and angry over shortfalls in a $700 billion bank bail-out fund.

A senior administra-tion offi cial said Mon-day that Obama would seek modifi cations to the law that sent bil-lions in bailout money in 2008 and 2009 to a fl ail-

ing Wall Street that was approaching collapse. The government offi cial spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the president’s thinking.

The idea received an early boost from Speak-er Nancy Pelosi, the top Democrat in the House, where there have been calls for a hefty tax on bank bonuses.

“While we have not seen any specifi c lan-guage from the admin-istration, Congress will certainly examine any serious proposals to low-er the defi cit and recoup even more of the TARP funds for the taxpayers,” said Nadeam Elshami, a spokesman for Pelosi, D-Calif.

BRIEFS–US trade defi cit leaps in November

WASHINGTON – The U.S. trade defi cit jumpedto the highest level in 10 months as an improving U.S. economy pushed up demand for imports. However, exports rose as well, boosted by a weaker dollar, support-ing the view that Ameri-can manufacturers will be helped by a rebound-ing global economy.

The Commerce De-partment reported Tues-day that the trade defi citjumped 9.7 percent to $36.4 billion in Novem-ber, a bigger imbalance than the $34.5 billion defi cit economists had forecast.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Federal banking regu-lators moved Tuesday to seek public input on a plan to link the insur-ance premiums levied on U.S. banks to the degree of risk-taking encouraged by their executive pay poli-cies.

A divided board of the Federal Deposit Insur-ance Corp. voted to make public a preliminary pro-posal for using executive compensation as a factor in assessing the fees that banks must pay for the de-posit insurance fund. The plan could involve both

rewards and penalties for banks.

“This is something we cannot ignore,” FDIC Chairman Sheila Bair said. But two heads of Treasury Department agencies, who also sit on the five-member board, voted against float-ing the proposal.

John Dugan, director of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and John Bowman, acting director of the Office of Thrift Supervi-sion, said it would be prema-ture because Congress and the Federal Reserve were addressing the bank com-pensation issue.

FDIC seeks comment on executive pay

Fed posts record profi ts for 2009

WASHINGTON – The Federal Reserve gener-ated record profi ts last year, refl ecting money made off its extraordi-nary efforts to rescue the U.S. from the worst economic and fi nancial crisis since the 1930s.

The central bank announced Tuesday it logged a record windfall of $52.1 billion. Of that total, a record of $46.1 billion gets turned over to the Treasury Depart-ment.

It marks both the big-gest profi t and payment to Treasury on records dating back to 1914, when the Fed began operating. The previous record payment turned over to the Treasury – of $34.6 billion – was registered in 2007. In 2008, the Fed reported a payment of $31.7 billion.

Saab automobiles are shown with signs during a gathering of owners and enthusiasts near General Motors Corp. headquarters in Detroit on Jan. 5.

DETROIT (AP) – The fi nal decision on whether Swedish automaker Saab will live or die is likely to come later this month or in February, General Mo-tors Co.’s top European executive said Tuesday.

But GM Europe Presi-dent Nick Reilly said the longer the troubled brand lingers without being sold, the less likely a sale will be.

In another indication of

Saab’s bleak outlook, GM also said Tuesday that two executives have been named to oversee the brand’s wind-down. The executives, Stephen Tay-lor and Peter Torngren, replace Saab’s CEO and board of directors and will be in charge of liquidating the brand, GM said.

GM started closing Saab operations last week but still is in talks with two possible suitors, despite

Tuesday’s appointments.CEO Ed Whitacre Jr.

said last week that he was not optimistic Saab could be saved.

Reilly also told report-ers at the Detroit auto show Tuesday that he expects to fi nish restruc-turing GM’s Opel opera-tions this month. He says changes that combine GM Europe and Opel manage-ment will be announced Friday or Monday.
