HIGH POINT – Mounds of packag-es and cards fl ooding into the High Point post offi ce indicate that the holiday season is upon us.

Many of those packages look a little different this year, however.

“It really looks like Internet sales have taken off this year with the amount of packages coming from Amazon.com,” said Murdoch McMillan, retail super-visor at the post offi ce at 315 E. Green Drive. “This is more than we’ve ever seen before.”

The online orders began to pour in the week of Thanksgiv-ing along with the usual packag-es and holiday mail, he said. Mc-Millan expects Christmas cards to arrive in the coming weeks as the holiday approaches.

Retail surveyors were expect-ing an increase in online orders this year as Web sites offered deals to compete with stores on Black Friday. Online sales rose

on Thanksgiving Day and Black Friday to $931 million, up 11 per-cent from last year, according to data released by comScore, an In-ternet research fi rm.

“Our business has really picked up after Thanksgiving,” he said. “We are as busy as last year, maybe even a little more.”

He attributes most of that to online purchases that have been whisking through the post offi ce.

“More people know what the economy is holding for them at this point,” he said.

“Last year was very uncertain.”Packages from other Web sites

besides Amazon.com also have come into the post offi ce this week, and more catalogs to be mailed out to consumers have arrived.

For those who plan to mail a gift this year, whether national or international, McMillan urges them to do so as soon as possible so that it arrives by Christmas Day. For more information, call 1-800-ASK-USPS.

HIGH POINT – A judge low-ered bond Thursday for one of four teenagers charged in the shooting of a clerk and the armed robbery of a north High Point conve-nience store last month.

Antonio Del Rio Gutier-rez, 17, of Fountain Grove Drive, was not at the Skeet Club Grocery at 1533-C Skeet Club Road when Waqar Gi-lani was shot twice on Nov. 18, his attorney, Bruce Lee of Greensboro, told Forsyth County Dis-trict Court Judge Marga-ret Sharpe dur-ing a hearing.

G u t i e r r e z , a student at Southwest Guilford High School, was at a park near the store when his co-de-fendants came running and told him to drive them away, which he did, Lee said.

“Basically, they used him as a getaway,” he said. “At the fi rst opportunity, he ful-ly cooperated with police.”

Lee said his cooperation enabled detectives to iden-tify the suspected shooter of Gilani, who survived his wounds. ºProsecutors said they were not opposed to reducing Gutierrez’s bond, which was set at $400,000 af-ter his arrest, to $150,000.

“The fact of the matter is, he was the getaway driver in the shooting of somebody that could have ended worse than it did,” said Guilford County Assistant District Attorney Seth Banks.

Sharpe lowered the bond to $100,000 for Gutierrez, who has been charged with attempted murder, robbery with a dangerous weapon and assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill infl icting serious injury. Two other SWG students, Robert Emmanuel Nap-per, 17, of Montlieu Av-enue, and Gregory Lamar Stephenson, 18, of N. Ro-tary Drive, face the same charges and remain jailed under $400,000 bonds. A fourth suspect, Bradley Antwaine Stephens, 18, of Crestline Drive, faces the same charges and is being held on a $550,000 bond.

According to police, the store, which is located in the Parrish Plaza shop-ping center near Southwest Guilford high, middle and elementary schools, was robbed by two men wear-ing hooded sweatshirts who were seen running north-bound behind the building.

HIGH POINT – The 40th installment of Showtime is coming to High Point on Sunday with a celebration in tow.

The semiannual fabric trade show will celebrate the 40th edition of its shows at Market Square with a “Fabulous at 40” party on Sunday night. The event, which concludes Wednes-

day, will celebrate its 20-year anniversary next year at its June show.

Despite economic condi-tions, including a drop in retail sales in the home fur-nishings industry, organiz-ers say they are expecting

a strong attendance at the event.

“Coming out of a posi-tive furniture market, our preregistration is very strong,” said Catherine Morsell, director of the In-ternational Textile Market Association. “We are ex-pecting to see a lot of new companies.”

That’s another aspect to be celebrated during the

MESA, Ariz. (AP) – A former Arizona school district employee is ac-cused of using school computers in an experi-ment to fi nd space aliens, costing the worker his job and the district more than $1 million.

Schools offi cials say Brad Niesluchowski, who was Higley Unifi ed School District’s infor-mation technology di-

rector, downloaded free software on district com-puters in 2000.

The program, known as SETI(at)home, uses In-ternet-connected comput-ers worldwide to analyze radio telescope data in an experiment to fi nd extra-terrestrial intelligence.

But Superintendent Denise Birdwell told the East Valley Tribune that the program also bogged

down the district’s sys-tem and interfered with technology use in class-rooms.

Birdwell said it will take more than $1 mil-lion to fi x the problem, including removal of the SETI software. She says police are conducting a broader investigation.

Niesluchowski re-signed from the district Oct. 22.

Space alien search costs school worker his jobBOTTOM LINE---


HIGH POINT – Sponsor-ing manufacturers met last week to set the dates of Pre-market, an invitation-only fur-niture event that has gained momentum in recent years.

Pre-market is sched-uled in the spring for March 15-16, about a month before the spring High Point Market. The fall Pre-market will held Sept. 13-14, over-lapping the fall Las Ve-gas Furniture Market, scheduled for Sept. 13-16, for the second time.

The event brings in-

dustry professionals to High Point about a month before furniture market for sneak pre-views of products from major exhibitors. It went head to head with Las Vegas for the first time this fall when it was held Sept. 14-15. Or-ganizers said they were pleased with the results in September, and the event performed strong-ly against Las Vegas.

While Pre-market has shown signs of growth in recent years, the High Point Market Au-thority said increasing the event’s strength was more important than large attendance numbers.

“It’s a very niche and focused event,” said Brian Casey, president of the authority. “We

want it to be strong, but it isn’t about con-tinually growing it in numbers. If it grows too large, it loses the in-timacy that makes it so valuable for the people engaged.”

Only top retailers and manufacturers are invited to the event, Casey said. There, ex-hibitors can receive feedback from buyers about their product so that it can be ready for the High Point Market. They can also receive purchasing commit-ments from buyers.

Kim Shaver, vice president of marketing and communications for Hooker Furniture, said the Martinsville, Va., based company participated in Pre-market because it al-

lowed them to compete with other companies.

“This event puts us in front of 50 of our largest customers,” she said. “They are ready to give affirmation about our products, and some are even ready to commit. We can order the prod-ucts 30 days before the actual furniture mar-ket and get the product to them quicker this way.”

Casey said that ex-hibitors at market that don’t gain commit-ments usually gain sev-eral leads.

“We are also indirect-ly seeing a benefit at furniture market from companies who are fol-lowing those leads,” he said.

ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

HIGH POINT – The sec-ond round of free human papillomavirus (HPV) vac-cine for sixth-, seventh- and eighth-grade girls will be available Dec. 15 at Fern-dale Middle School.

The Guilford County De-partment of Public Health will administer the second of three required doses. The clinic will be held 4–6 p.m. after school. Parents and guardians must be present and have signed a written consent form for their daughters. Third-dose clinics are scheduled for April.

The vaccinations are a part of the Department’s HPV campaign, “Don’t Wait ... Vaccinate,” which is funded by Duke Endow-ment. The fi rst clinics were held in October.

Parents are asked to bring their daughter’s in-surance or Medicaid card, if they have one, along with her immunization record. The Duke Endowment is covering the cost for the vaccination program as a special demonstration to determine if collaboration between a public health

department and a publicschool system is an effec-tive way to increase HPVvaccination rates andreduce HPV infectionsamong young women.

The Gardasil® vaccine isspecifi cally recommendedfor girls 11-12 years old be-cause it has been shown tobe 100 percent effective inpreventing HPV infectionfrom the four most com-mon types of the virus if fe-males receive it before be-ing exposed to the virusesthrough intimate or sexualcontact. The HPV vaccinecan prevent 90 percent ofgenital warts, two HPVtypes known to be precur-sors to 70 percent of cervi-cal cancers, as well as otherHPV-related diseases.

trade show, geared to-ward retailers and man-ufacturers of the fab-ric industry. Morsell, whose group organizes the event, said some fur-niture industry profes-sionals have lost their jobs in the past year and are starting their own companies that will ex-hibit at the show.

“These people under-

stand the industry and know the industry,” she said. “This is exciting. It has a feeling of rebirth.”

Retail purchases may have lagged this year, but Morsell hopes buy-ers are ready to update their inventories.

“In many cases people have been putting off shopping for new prod-ucts,” she said. “It looks

like things may be turn-ing around. I think buy-ers realize they need to freshen up their fl oors.”

She said the stress of the economy also may have caused some com-panies to work harder and produce better prod-ucts.

“People are challenged in diffi cult times,” she said. “They are putting

out some of their best work now. Everyone is working harder.”

The event will bring an estimated 2,940 people to the city with a $1,346,780 economic impact, ac-cording to fi gures from the High Point Conven-tion and Visitor’s Bu-reau.

RALEIGH (AP) – North Carolina transportation offi cials say a security fence will be added at a highway bridge crossing in Raleigh where a man fell to his death while trying to help people involved in a three-car wreck.

Multiple media outlets reported Thursday the fence will be put along the westbound bridge of Inter-

state 440 where 33-year-oldCarroll Lee Eames Jr. diedNov. 27 after he leapedover a barrier to avoid on-coming traffi c.

Department of Trans-portation Secretary GeneConti said in a speech atthe Crabtree Rotary Clubhis agency continues to in-vestigate the accident. Thefence is expected to cost upto $50,000 and be installedby Feb. 1.

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) – A storm packing blustery winds and driv-ing rain knocked out power to thousands of homes and businesses in the Northeast on Thurs-day before giving way to sunny skies and record high temperatures – all in the same morning.

Utility offi cials re-ported sporadic power outages from Maine to New Jersey after wind knocked down trees and power lines early Thurs-day. Winds reached up to 49 mph in Brunswick, Maine, while the Isle of Shoals off the coast of New Hampshire re-corded a 61 mph gust. In New Jersey, wind speeds topped out at 45 mph.

But the rain and wind that battered the region early Thursday gave way to sunny skies and unseasonably high tem-

peratures by mid-morn-ing. In Boston, the tem-perature hit 69 degrees, breaking the old record of 65 set in 1932. In Port-land, the temperature climbed to 68 degrees – crushing the old high of 55 for the date. Provi-dence, R.I., had a record high of 66, and Concord, N.H., set a record at 65.

“It’s not right. It’s De-

cember. It’s supposed to be snowing,” said Jen-nifer Sporzynski, who sat on a park bench Thursday in Portland’s Old Port. “I like warm weather – but not in De-cember.”

But for others, the balmy weather was just fi ne.

In Boston, joggers ran downtown in shorts and

T-shirts, while walkers strolled through the city with jackets tied around their waists.

David Montero, 36, exited his Downtown Crossing apartment Thursday morning wear-ing a heavy coat to walk his 2-year-old Boston Terrier named Bolt.

“I personally would take this all week, if we could have it,” Montero said as he watched Bolt play with two other dogs in the Boston Common.

Still, Montero said he couldn’t get over the sight of seeing people in the grassy park exercis-ing in shorts. “Totally bizarro,” he said.

For many, the day started with lashing rain. Central Maine Power, the state’s largest electric utility, reported 6,700 customers in the dark at the storm’s peak.

DAVIDSON COUNTY – A Davidson County man faces multiple drug charges after a month-long investigation by law enforcement offi -cials.

The Davidson County Sheriff’s Offi ce Special Operations Unit served a search warrant at a James Road residence in the northern part of the county which yield-ed cocaine and other il-legal substances, depu-ties said.

During the search, detectives seized 232.8 grams (8.28 ounces) of cocaine, 404.6 grams (14.42 ounces) of mari-

juana and fi ve Ecstasy pills. They arrested Eric “Chu-Chu” Browne, 26, and charged him with two counts of traffi cking co-caine, possession with in-tent to sell or deliver mari-juana and possession with intent to sell or deliver Ecstasy, according to the sheriff’s offi ce. His bond was set at $1.3 million.

In an unrelated case, a man faces theft and fraud-related charges after an investigation by the sher-iff’s Breaking & Entering Task Force.

Deputies located some of the jewelry stolen from a N. Barons Road resi-dence last month after the victim reported that she believed her son’s friend was responsible for the

theft. The victim provided the name of a possible sus-pect.

Toy James Brown, 29, of Yadkin College Road, Lex-ington, was charged with breaking and entering, larceny after breaking and entering and obtain-ing property by false pre-tenses, according to the sheriff’s offi ce.

Brown remains in the Davidson County Jail fac-ing a total of six counts of breaking and entering, six counts of larceny af-ter breaking and entering and 12 counts of obtaining property by false pretens-es, deputies said.

His bond was set at $5,000.

Paddling is not allowed, but Tasers are OK. Does anyone see the irony in this? I know you’re thinking that Tasers are only for students who are considered dan-gerous, but the lack of discipline at home and at school is one of the biggest reasons that we have students who get to this point.

Parents now live with the threat that someone may report them for child abuse if they spank their own children. Parents struggle with trying to fi gure out creative, positive ways to discipline. Re-moval of privileges doesn’t work with all kids, plus, some are often alone at home and may conve-niently forget their loss of privi-leges. Sometimes a good swat, or just the threat of it, brings a kid back to reality.

Discipline at school is just not very effective these days. If you ask why students aren’t sent to the offi ce when certain rules are broken, you’re told that the offi ce would be fi lled with students every day. This would disrupt the school for a while, but can’t we try it for several days and see if kids and parents fi nally get the idea that we mean business? People often have to be made uncom-fortable in order for rules to be enforced. This is not against their rights – it’s called discipline.

We all know that teachers can’t even think about rapping knuck-les or a palm with a ruler and, of course, the principal can’t paddle

a student. Who remembers when just the threat of the principal’s paddle was enough to make you walk in a straight line, stop talk-ing, keep your hands to yourself, etc.? The paddle was only used on students who had behaved in a very unruly manner.

Well, now that the paddle is gone, we have moved on to Tas-ers.

LAURA PAYNEHigh Point

Here’s a solution for mall

woes and HPU’s needs

After careful consideration, I have come upon the perfect solu-tion for both High Point Univer-sity and Oak Hollow Mall. Have the “great” university purchase Oak Hollow Mall and develop it into student housing. This would eliminate displacement of further elderly residents, as well as, main-tain the “once quiet” neighbor-hoods surrounding the university campus. The mall has plenty of room to build the necessary amenities for the students, such as indoor swimming pools and basketball courts. It already has a food court and cinema.

To this point, I would like to ask how it is that the university

is contributing to our economy when the majority of the new student housing is “all inclusive,” why do the students need to leave campus at all? Maybe that is one of the reasons why the mall is on the verge of collapsing, none of the students are patronizing our local stores. Oh, that’s right, they need to purchase alcohol for their parties which seem to permeate the residential neighborhoods on a weekly basis.

One last comment, thank you so much High Point University for installing the Jumbotron at the baseball and various other stadiums which are a mere mile away from my house. I absolutely enjoy the free “entertainment” blasting early in the morning and late night time as well! I can’t wait to see what comes next!

of America? You need to read Na-hum 1:2-3: “God is jealous, and the Lord avenges; The Lord avenges and is furious. The Lord will take vengeance on His adversaries, and He reserves wrath for His enemies: the Lord is slow to anger and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked.” Also, read all the verses on disobedience in Deuteronomy 28:15-45.”

Our maker is also a God of love to those who will keep His com-mandments. Read John 3:16.

Our country is under the judg-ment of God right now. The only answer for us is prayer. A Psalm by King David, Psalms 138:7-8 reads: “Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you will revive me; you will stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies, and your right hand will save me. The Lord will perfect that which concerns me; thy mercy, O Lord, endures forever; do not forsake the works of your hands.”

YOUR VIEW---

T he Disabled American Veterans (DAV) organization’s top priority has been to get Congress to pass veter-

ans health care funding reform for many years, and fi nally this has happened. We now have the Advance Appropriations for Veterans Health Care Bill signed into law by President Obama on Oct. 22.

This victory will ensure an uninter-rupted fl ow of funds for veterans’ health care programs even if Congress is unable to complete work on the rest of the fed-eral budget by the start of a fi scal year. It means there will be no more delays in hir-ing of new doctors, nurses or the purchase of needed equipment and supplies. In the past, this has caused tremendous problems for veterans needing to see Department of Veterans Affairs doctors; now they can receive the care they have earned.

This will be of great benefi t for pres-ent veterans and future veterans. I am so thankful the Disabled American Veterans organization, that I am proud to be a part of, has fi nally achieved this victory. By the way, Congress failed to approve a budget on time 20 out of the past 23 years, and many veterans were left without the medi-cal care they needed.

Thanksgiving Day has come and gone, but on this day my thoughts always return to 1950, when I was in Korea at a place called Chosin Reservoir. Most of us who were there sometimes refer to that place as “Frozen Hell.” That day 59 years ago, my buddies and I were so thankful just to be alive.

The temperature was somewhere around 40 degrees below zero, but the food was good and somewhat warm. That was the last warm food we enjoyed for about two

weeks. Our C-rations were not what I thought was good food, and it was so cold that it was frozen.

We soon learned the best way to thaw C-rations was to put it in our parka or hooded coats under the arm. We also learned you had to “wear it” many hours just to thaw, most of the time it was never warm. I ate mostly candy bars and cookies, but they had to be thawed because you couldn’t bite into them.

We had to be very careful because you sure couldn’t get a tooth repaired any-where around there. I understand there have been real improvements made in the food troops receive now, and I certainly am glad about that.

We are just a few days away from Dec. 7. It was 68 years ago, on a Sunday morning, when Pearl Harbor in Hawaii came under attack at 0755. Nearly 3,000 lives were lost, but the outstanding medical response network sprang into action and more than 1,100 survived their injuries that day.

It would be wonderful if Americans would stop for a few minutes at 7:55 a.m. and pray that we could put all wars behind us and live in peace. As a matter of fact, we all need to pray for peace on Earth and goodwill to all people on a daily basis.

God Bless America and all the other na-tions.

Semper Fi!

STAN SPANGLE SR. is a 21-year veteran of the Marine Corps, serving in Korea and Vietnam. He’s a member of numerous veterans organizations.

C ome Jan. 2, 2010, mornings will be more than a little bit different for WMFR listeners. They no longer will hear the master’s voice.

Max Meeks – who has been on air since joining WMFR in 1947 when he was a High Point College junior, except for a 13-year hiatus in the furniture industry – will retire after the Jan. 1, “Max in the Morning” show.

Meeks, an Eden native who served in the U.S. Navy in World War II, has been awarded nearly every honor a radio broadcaster can claim during his half-century in the business. He has been rec-ognized year after year by organizations through-out the greater High Point area and was named The High Point Enterprise’s Citizen of the Year for 2003.

In the newspaper article announcing his se-lection as citizen of the year, High Point Mayor Becky Smothers noted “Mr. Meeks is Mr. High Point” and declared, “I don’t think you’ll fi nd any-one more universally liked in High Point unless it’s Santa Claus.” Interestingly enough, Meeks was the Santa in the High Point Christmas Parade for many years and, until just recently, took San-ta’s role as the Rotary Club of High Point wound up each calendar year with its holiday party for children from schools in High Point.

Meeks has been especially helpful to nonprofi ts, giving them plenty of air time as they sought sup-port for their missions. Always happy to “solicit” donors for The American Red Cross blood drives, Meeks over the years has donated nearly 20 gal-lons of blood.

Meeks is retiring from WMFR, and we all will miss his made-for-radio voice in the mornings, but he isn’t retiring from life. You’ll no doubt see him involved in plenty that’s happening in the greater High Point area.

OUR MISSION---The High Point Enterprise is committed to this com-

munity ... and always will serve it by being an intense-ly local newspaper of excellent quality every day.

ALARMING DEBUT: Stevie Wonder’s speech as peace envoy interrupted. 8B

BRUSSELS (AP) – U.S. special envoy Richard C. Holbrooke ac-knowledged Thursday that the war in Afghanistan is unpopular, given “the legacy of Iraq and Vietnam,” but he predicted that NATO allies will soon contribute more forces to join the 30,000 additional U.S. troops being deployed there.

“We have been very gratifi ed by the strong support of our European allies for President Obama’s policy,” Holbrooke, the president’s special representative for Afghanistan and

Pakistan, told journalists. He spoke before a two-day meeting of NATO foreign ministers that opens later Thursday. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton will brief the ministers on Friday.

Obama’s new plan for the war in Afghanistan calls for the dispatch of 30,000 more troops, but includes assurances that some of them will begin withdrawing in July 2011.

On Thursday, NATO spokesman James Appathurai said pledges from the alliance already have ex-

ceeded 5,000 troops. More than 20 nations are expected to make fi rm commitments at a force-generation conference on Monday, and follow-ing the international conference on Afghanistan in January, he said.

After Appathurai spoke, Italy – which has 2,800 troops in Af-ghanistan – announced that it will increase its contingent by about 1,000 soldiers starting next year. That will allow its force to take full responsibility for Western region of Herat, Afghanistan.

Envoy: NATO to up Afghan forces

PERUGIA, Italy (AP) – American student Amanda Knox tried one last time Thursday to convince the Ital-ian court trying her for murder that she is not a killer, urging jurors not to brand her with “the mask of an assassin.”

Knox spoke at the end of a trial that has exposed some of the most intimate details of her life, with pros-ecutors depicting her as a promiscuous and manipulative she-devil who brutally murdered

her British r o o m m a t e in Perugia, M e r e d i t h Kercher.

The trial, in which Knox’s ex-b o y f r i e n d

Raffaele Sollecito fi gures as a co-defendant, is wrap-ping up after almost a year. Thursday’s session was devoted to rebuttals by defense lawyers and the prosecution, and the eight members of the jury are expected to begin delibera-tions as early as Friday.

Standing up, her voice breaking as she fought back tears, the 22-year-old American told the court that she feels “vul-nerable” and fears losing herself after two years in jail.

“I have written on a piece of paper ... that I was afraid of los-ing myself,” she said, speaking Italian. “I am scared of being brand-ed what I am not,” she said. “I am scared of having the mask of an assassin forced onto me.”

Knox: ‘I’m no murderer’

MOGADISHU, Somalia(AP) – A suicide bomberdisguised as a womanattacked a graduationceremony in Somalia onThursday, turning a rarereason to celebrate into car-nage that killed at least 22people – including medicalstudents, doctors and threegovernment ministers.

The blast was blamedon Islamic militants whohave shown a rising abil-ity to carry out sophisti-cated large-scale bomb-ings against high-profi letargets – and highlightedthe inability of Somalia’sweak government to pro-tect the capital.

MOSCOW (AP) – Wag-ging his pen and gazing directly into the camera, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin sent his strongest signal yet Thursday that

he plans to return to Russia’s presidency, telling mil-lions of TV v i e w e r s that he will c o n s i d e r

running in 2012.The former KGB spy,

who retains huge power despite formally step-ping down after his eight-year presidency in 2008, turned in an electric performance during his annual mar-athon call-in show – ce-menting his high rating among the electorate and his reputation as Russia’s No. 1 leader.

Asked if he was leaving the political stage, Putin grinned and said: “Don’t hold your breath.” There is almost no doubt Putin would win – because of his genuine popularity and the overwhelming political dominance.

BRIEFS---Pope, Russia agreeto upgrade relations

VATICAN CITY – Pope Benedict XVI and visit-ing Russian President Dmitry Medvedev agreed Thursday to upgrade Vatican-Kremlin rela-tions to full diplomatic ties, the Vatican said.

The step forward on the diplomatic front comes at the same time as a warm-ing in previously tense relations between the Russian Orthodox Church and the Vatican. A Vatican statement said Benedict and Medvedev agreed that Russia will upgrade its rep-resentation at the Vatican.

Iraq vice president eyes election law deal

BAGHDAD – Iraq’s vice president said Thursday he remains open to talks to break an impasse on holding parliamentary elections scheduled for next month but stands by his demand that minor-ity Sunnis have a greater voice in the voting.

A long delay of the elec-tions could complicate withdrawal timetables for the U.S. military, which is keeping the bulk of its combat troops in place because of a possible rise in violence surrounding the voting.

Offi cial: Guinea soldiers open fi re on president

CONAKRY, Guinea – A renegade faction of Guin-ea’s presidential guard opened fi re Thursday on the African country’s leader, a government spokesman said, amid rumors of deep divisions within the army. It was not immediately clear if he was wounded.

President Moussa “Dadis” Camara, who grabbed power in a mili-tary-led coup 11 months ago, had left the main military barracks where he lives and works, and had gone to a military camp in Conakry.

India pledges to slow carbon emissions

NEW DELHI – India pledged Thursday to sig-nifi cantly slow the growth of its carbon emissions over the next decade, becoming the last major emitting country to an-nounce a climate change policy before a U.N. sum-mit opens next week.

The plan is less aggres-sive than those announced by the U.S. and China in the last two weeks, and one critic called it nothing more than a reiteration of the status quo.

Osama bin Laden’s son denied entry by UK

LONDON – The British government says it has refused to allow a son of Osama bin Laden to travel to Britain.

Omar bin Laden had appealed an earlier decision by U.K. authori-ties to keep him out of Britain. The 28-year-old son of the al-Qaida leader wants to come to Britain to be with his 58-year-old English partner, Jane Felix-Browne, whom he claims to have married.

Mark Ockelton of the Asylum and Immigration Tribunal said Thursday that Omar bin Laden’s appeal has been rejected.

PHILADELPHIA – Philadelphia police believe a man whose watch was stolen as he sat slumped in a hospital waiting room may have been dead for 50 min-utes before anyone took notice.

Security video shows no one attends to 63-year-old Joaquin Rivera until about 50 minutes after he clutches his chest, loses consciousness and ap-pears to stop breathing.

The one person who ap-proached the dying man instead stole his watch.

NORTH VERSAILLES, Pa. – A 72-year-old Wal-Mart greeter near Pittsburgh was punched in the face outside his store and now is in the hospital.

Surveillance video shows the employee, Thomas Jenkins, walking near the entrance to the Wal-Mart in North Ver-sailles on Tuesday night. A man comes around the corner, punches Jenkins in the face and Jenkins falls to the ground.

Police say the attack appears unprovoked.

HIGH POINT – High Point po-lice arrested a registered sex offender and an illegal immi-grant Wednesday after a three-month investigation into a sto-len-property operation.

Detectives served four search warrants at locations in High Point, Archdale and Lexing-ton and seized about $80,000 worth of electronic equipment and over-the-counter medica-tions following a probe by the Property Crimes and Vice & Narcotics units into a “fenc-ing” operation that allegedly bought and sold stolen goods.

The investigation dates to September, when detectives determined that several shop-lifting suspects charged with stealing medications had been taking stolen items to various sites in High Point and Arch-dale and redeeming them for cash.

Detectives obtained search warrants and executed them at four sites: 1721 Tower Road in High Point, 7013 Mendenhall Road in Archdale, 5128 Mey-ers St. in Archdale and 545 E. Center St. in Lexington, police said.

Arrested were Marcus Devin Riffe, 35, 5128 Meyers St., Arch-dale and Hector Urive Vasquez, 27, of 7013 Mendenhall Road, Archdale, police said.

Riffe was charged with or-ganized retail theft, a felony that involves conspiring with someone else to commit theft with the intent of selling or fencing the stolen property. He was also charged with conspir-acy to commit a felony, pos-session of a fi rearm by a felon and fi ve counts of violating his

probation, which he is serving for a 2007 third-degree sexual exploitation of a minor convic-tion in Randolph County.

During a Thursday court ap-pearance for Riffe, Guilford County Assistant District At-torney Walt Jones said the suspect operated a fence that bought and sold shoplifted goods.

Riffe’s attorney, Georgia Nixon, said he runs a salvage company that’s a legitimate business and argued that the $500,000 bond that was set af-ter his arrest was excessive. District Court Judge Margaret Sharpe of Forsyth County re-duced his bond to $250,000.

Jones said Vasquez was “something of a lieutenant” for Riffe. Vasquez was charged with organized retail theft, conspira-cy to commit a felony and three counts of possession of stolen property. An illegal immigrant from Mexico, he was jailed un-der a $500,000 bond. If he posts bond, he will be detained with-out bail by federal authorities, offi cials said.

U.S. Immigrations and Cus-toms Enforcement participated in the service of the warrants, as did the N.C. Division of Mo-tor Vehicles License & Theft Bureau, the Randolph County Sheriff’s Offi ce, Lexington Po-lice Department, Winston-Salem Police Department, Archdale Police Department and Guilford County Sheriff’s Offi ce.

Police said they were assisted in their investigation by several retail organizations that have been hurt by such operations. These include Harris Teeter, Lowes Foods, Food Lion and Target.

GUILFORD COUNTY – Vaccina-tion clinics and good hygiene practices may have helped slow the spread of swine fl u.

Guilford County Schools of-fi cials reported this week that H1N1 cases have stabilized as vaccination clinics have become more widespread. As of Wednes-day, about 3,417 students, 104 employees and one long-term substitute have been reported absent with fl u-like symptoms and fevers of 100 degrees or higher. The 3,522 cases include 113 schools.

“We are pleased that the dis-trict is not seeing as many H1N1 cases as we were back in Sep-tember and October,” said Rob-in Bergeron-Nolan, director of district health services.

The district saw the biggest jump during October when cases tripled. As of Oct. 2, there were 953 cases reported. By Oct. 30, there were 3,255. Although the numbers rose slightly through November, the increases have stabilized.

Last month, the health depart-ment vaccinated 189 medically fragile special needs and excep-tional students against H1N1 at two clinics held at Gateway Education Center and McIver Education Center.

The county health department and commercial providers have offered more clinics as more vaccine doses have arrived. This week, Wal-Mart stores opened $15 shot clinics. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has estimated North Carolina needs 5 million doses based on its population.

“We know that in this tough

economic time, people just can’t afford to get sick, and unfortu-nately, staying healthy can also be expensive,” said Dr. John Ag-wunobi, president of Wal-Mart’s Health and Wellness Division.

Health offi cials urge people in these high-priority groups to get fl u shots: pregnant women; children 6 months to 24 years of age; health-care workers and emergency services personnel; adults ages 25-64 with under-lying health conditions; and household contacts and caregiv-ers of children 6 months of age and younger.

“We are still encouraging ev-eryone to practice good hand hygiene and respiratory eti-quette,” Bergeron-Nolan said.


Swine fl u declines in Guilford schools

CLINICS----Health Department: Free H1N1 fl u shot clinics from 8 a.m. to noon Saturday in the High Point offi ces at 501 E. Green Dr. and from noon until 4 p.m. in the Greensboro offi ces at 1203 Maple St. First-come, fi rst-served basis for people in high-priority groups. Seasonal fl u vaccines will be available for children ages 4-18 years of age. No appointment is needed.

Others: Mollen Immunization started $15 H1N1 vaccination clinics Wednesday at area Wal-Mart stores. Customers can fi nd specifi c store information at fl ushotsusa.walmart.com. Visit www2.thecarolinascenter.org/fcf/FluClinicFinder.aspx for other pharmacy and grocery sites.

DAVIDSON COUNTY – Hosting the Charity League of Lexington’s 50th annual Holiday House this weekend, Bob Timberlake says the event comes at an “opportune time.”

As part of its largest fundraiser of the year, the Charity League of Lex-ington annually selects a home in Davidson County to showcase as its Holiday House. This year, Timber-lake, a world-renowned artist and furniture de-signer who makes his home in Lexington, has agreed to allow the Char-ity League of Lexington to use his studio, which has never been viewed by the public, for its event to-

day through Saturday. “It was a great time for us,” Timberlake said. “I’m not getting any younger. It’s the fi rst time we’ve ever opened it up to the public, and probably the last time in my lifetime.”

The studio, which was built in 1809 by Henry Shoaf, sits on a 128-acre working farm. In 1986, Timberlake moved the studio, formerly a barn, to its present location. Three years later, Timberlake started using the structure as a studio.

While the Charity League of Lexington celebrates its 50th Holiday House, Tim-berlake is celebrating the 200th anniversary of the studio’s structure.

“It’s my life,” he said of the studio. “It’s a place I

have wanted since I was 14 years old. I never dreamed that I would own this. Even when we were build-ing this, I did not dream what was going to happen. This is where the furni-ture industry stuff started. This is where the largest, most successful line of fur-niture in the history of the world started and is still going on. It’s still being made here in North Caro-lina, by the way.”

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) – One of two civil-ian police offi cers who brought down the Army psychiatrist accused of going on a shooting ram-page at Fort Hood said her wounds from the attack will cut short her career as street police offi cer.

Sgt. Kimberly Munley said doctors have told her she needs a total knee re-placement, a surgery set for January, but that her new knee is likely to wear out sooner if she runs or carries the 15- to 25-pound gear pack required by her job.

“I do want to stay in law enforcement. I’m not go-ing to be able to do what I did before, which is basi-cally work the street,” she told Wilmington, N.C., television station WECT on Wednesday. “It’s go-ing to give me another avenue to look in as far as possibly teaching and instructing.”

Fort Hood offi cials said Thursday that Munley, 34, who was shot in the leg and hand, has not started the process to determine if she’s physically able to do her former job.

Munley and Sgt. Mark Todd, another civilian offi cer in Fort Hood’s po-lice force, are credited with shooting Maj. Nidal Hasan to end the Nov. 5 shooting spree on the Texas Army post.

THE HIGH POINT ENTERPRISE FRIDAY, DECEMBER 4, 2009 www.hpe.com 3BCAROLINAS

D ear Abby: I have been married to “Mick” for 22 years

– most of them happy. My problem is his com-munication skills. I have always had a hard time contacting him. He has a cell phone, but won’t take it out of his vehicle.

Recently, our daughter came home from college. We had planned to go to dinner with her and her boyfriend. When Mick didn’t show up, I tried without success to contact him. My daughter tried and then my son did, too. This went on for an hour and a half. We were worried sick, so we started calling his friends and co-workers – any-one who might know his whereabouts.

Abby, I have a seri-ous heart condition that could send me to the hospital at any time.

Mick fi nally called back and said he had gotten distracted talking with an old friend. He acted like we were crazy for being concerned, and insists he did nothing wrong.

All I have ever asked is that my husband and kids give me a quick call to let me know if they’re going to be late so I won’t worry. My son and daughter do it, but Mick refuses. He says he’s the breadwinner, and he should not have to answer to anyone. I have put up with this for years, but now I have had enough. What do you think? – Sick And Tired Of It, In South Carolina

Dear sick and tired of it: Candidly, I think Mick is acting more like a rebellious teenager rather than a caring husband. Because he

has been this way for 22 years, I seriously doubt he is capable of change. That’s why I also think you should talk to your attorney about adding an-other family member to your Advance Directive for Health Care, in case you have a medical emer-gency and your husband is -- as usual -- unreach-able. Please give this the serious consideration it deserves because your life could depend on it.

Dear Abby: I married “Marge” 18 months ago. It was a second marriage for both of us. We agreed to sell our homes and buy something together. Mine sold and now I’m in her house.

Things were going fi ne until Marge’s daughter and son- in-law moved back in. It was supposed to be a three- or four-day stay, but it’s now into the fi fth week. They always claim to be right on the edge of leaving.

Marge enjoys having her daughter near her, but this is stressful for me. They sleep until noon every day and stay up

late. They enjoy all that we have earned through-out our lives, and offer nothing in the way of rent.

I am not allowed to complain. I have been given the option to say “Go,” but I know it will cause hard feelings from them and Marge. I am to the point where I’m ready to move out. – Trapped in their house

Dear trapped: More troubling than the fact you appear to have been invaded by freeloaders is that you say you are “not allowed” to voice your feelings about it. Mar-riage is supposed to be a partnership of equals, and if one partner is not happy, healthy couples work out an agreeable so-lution together. Because you have been unable to do this, I recommend marriage counseling be-fore you pack your bags.

With counseling I’m hoping you and Marge can form a united front in telling “the kids” they have a deadline to be out instead of you being forced into the role of “bad guy.” Moving out should be your last op-tion, because once you do, the move may be permanent.

Dear Abby is written by Ab-igail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

SHELBY (AP) – A judge is considering ar-guments in the case of a North Carolina inmate who contends that good behavior credits should set him free from his life sentence.

The case of William Folston went before a judge in Shelby on Thursday. Folston’s case is the fi rst of more than two dozen inmates sentenced to life in the 1970s who argue that credits have cut their sentences in half. State courts have already de-termined that their life sentences are only 80 years long.It’s not clear when Supe-rior Court Judge Gentry Caudill will rule.

FAYETTEVILLE (AP) – Fayetteville police say a 911 operator violated pro-tocol by failing to swiftly dispatch police to a home where a man killed him-self after gunning down his wife and two chil-dren.

Fayetteville police spokeswoman Theresa Chance said Thursday the probe into the Nov. 2 slayings was nearing completion but any re-percussions would be confi dential.

The call from the house

contained the sound of a person moaning, fol-lowed by a gunshot. Of-fi cials believe Billy Max-well Jr. killed his family and himself.

Chance said an opera-tor did not follow rules requiring a response to

a dropped 911 call within 20 minutes. Police did not get to the house for more than an hour.

A spokeswoman for Mayor Tony Chavonne said he wouldn’t com-ment on the ongoing in-vestigation.

A Special Thank You To All Our Sponsors!

Antarctica is the fifth largest of the seven continents on Earth. It is covered almost completely by ice; only during the summer months is the outer band, or belt, not covered with a thick sheet of ice. The ice sheet was created from millions of years of snow layers continuously being packed one on top of the other. Seventy percent of the world’s freshwater is frozen in the glaciers that make up the ice on top of Antarctica. Sometimes parts of the glaciers fall off into the ocean

and become icebergs. At other times, large cracks can form on the surface ice creating a crevasse. Due to Antarctica’s harsh climate, it is not inhabited by any permanent residents. The lands of Antarctica were not even seen until the 1820’s, and much of it still remains untouched. Modern technologies, such as satellites and airplanes, have helped us learn a great deal about the desolate region. Only scientists can be found on the lands at survey stations at different times of the year. Other people who frequent the area are fisherman and whalers. They do not dwell on the lands, but in the surrounding oceans in ships. This also holds true for animals. No animals live in Antarctica. Penguins and seals can be found on the coastlines, but they are still considered to be sea dwelling species. Only a handful of living microorgan-isms, such as bacteria, yeasts, and algae have been identified. The South Pole is located in Antarctica. Much against popular belief, the South Pole is comprised of three spots, instead of just one. The most well-known is the geographical South Pole which is at the southern tip of the Earth’s axis, where all lines of longitude converge. The other two poles are referred to as the magnetic south pole and the geomagnetic south pole. The continent is also characterized by several mountain ranges, such as the Prince Charles Mountains, the Transantarctic Mountains, and the Ellsworth Mountains. Some mountains are almost completely covered with ice with only the tip showing. These are called nunataks. There are even volcanoes found on the continent. Antarctica does not have conventional days and nights which most parts of the world are accustomed to. It remains daylight in Antarctica from about September 21 until around March 22. This is considered to be Antarctica’s summer period. The remaining six months are dark and are considered to be the win-ter. This is the harshest time in Antarctica.

NATION

WASHINGTON (AP) – The House voted Thursday to indef-initely extend a 45 percent in-heritance tax on estates larger than $3.5 million, canceling a one-year repeal of the tax set to begin next month.

A similar effort is afoot in the Senate, but the health care debate there could preclude action on the estate tax before Congress breaks later this month for holidays. There are also disagreements among sen-ators over the tax rate and the

size of estates that should be ex-empt, further clouding the bill’s prospects.

Lawmakers, however, don’t

want to delay action until next year because they are wary of enacting retroactive tax chang-es.

Under the House bill, estates smaller than $3.5 million would continue to be exempt from the tax. Married couples, with a little estate planning, could ex-empt a total of $7 million. That leaves less than 1 percent of all estates subject to the tax.

The bill passed by a 225-200 vote, with all Republicans op-posed. Majority Democrats ar-

gued that a permanent tax rate makes it easier for families and small business owners to do es-tate planning.

“In America, it’s not a sin to be rich nor is it a crime to die rich,” said Rep. Jared Polis, D-Colo. “This bill gives our nation’s wealthiest families the ability to know exactly what their obligation to the nation that fostered their wealth will be, and it is fair and it is just.”

The bill follows the federal budget proposed by President

Barack Obama. But many Re-publicans called for permanentrepeal of the estate tax, arguingit hurts families that pass downfarms and small businesses totheir children.

“The majority claims to beoffering certainty to taxpayersand I suppose in a way they are– they are certainly repealingthe hope of ever eliminating thedeath tax,” said Rep. Dave Campof Michigan, the top Republicanon the tax-writing House Waysand Means Committee.

WASHINGTON (AP) – President Barack Obama on Thursday said he’d heard many “exciting ideas and proposals” from participants at a White House sponsored jobs fo-rum and said he hoped some could be put into ac-tion quickly.

“This has been a tough year, with a lot of uncer-tainty,” Obama said as he wrapped up a half-day brainstorming session with some of the nation’s top CEOs, small business and union leaders and economists.

He said he welcomed the suggestions as well as some “good, hardheaded feedback” from some people who don’t always share his views in the Re-publican party.

Obama hopes to implement

new ideasto create jobs

WASHINGTON (AP) – Facing the prospect of more American deaths in Afghanistan as the war es-calates, lawmakers lashed out at neighboring Paki-stan on Thursday as an unreliable ally that could spare the U.S. its bruising fi ght with al-Qaida if it wanted.

“They don’t seem to want a strategic relation-ship,” New Jersey Demo-cratic Sen. Bob Menendez said of the government in Islamabad. “They want the money. They want the equipment. But at the end of the day, they don’t want a relationship that costs them too much.”

A crucial ally in fi ght-ing the al-Qaida terrorist network, Pakistan is also a major recipient of U.S. aid. President Barack Obama and Congress re-cently approved a $7.5 billion aid package for economic and social pro-grams in Pakistan in a bid to strengthen the ci-

vilian government there.But many in Congress

have grown skeptical that Islamabad is doing all it can to drive out al-Qaida forces hiding along its mountainous Afghan bor-der. Those doubts reached a new pitch this week af-ter Obama’s announce-ment that he will send

30,000 more U.S. troops toAfghanistan by next fall,with the anticipation thatthey would start cominghome in July 2011.

Obama has not saidwhether or how the troopbuildup would accelerateattacks on the terroristnetwork hiding in Paki-stan.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Think your kid is not “sexting”? Think again.

Sexting – sharing sexu-ally explicit photos, vid-eos and chat by cell phone or online – is fairly com-

monplace among young people, despite some-times grim consequences for those who do it.

More than a quarter of young people have been involved in sexting in

some form, an Associated Press-MTV poll found.

“There’s defi nitely the in-vincibility factor that young people feel,” said Kathleen Bogle, a sociology profes-sor at La Salle University.

High blood pressure is diagnosed even if only one number is high

D ear Dr. Donohue: I’ve just been told I have high blood

pressure. Only the fi rst number of my reading is high. The second one is normal. I always thought that a high fi rst number wasn’t such a big deal, especially at older ages. Has the thinking on this changed? I am 77 and don’t like the thought of being less than perfect. – G.D.

The two numbers of a blood pressure reading are the systolic pressure (fi rst number) and the diastolic pressure (second number). The systolic pressure is the pressure imparted to blood by the pumping action of the heart. The diastolic pres-sure is the pressure that remains in the blood be-tween heartbeats. Both pressures keep blood cir-culating.

In the not-so-distant past, greater attention was given to diastolic pres-sure. Higher-than-normal systolic pressures were permitted at older ages. The thinking has changed. Now we know that sys-tolic pressure causes as much damage as diastolic pressure, and it might even be a greater threat to older people than an elevation of the diastolic pressure. A normal blood pressure is one less than 120/80. High blood pres-sure is one where the fi rst number is greater than 140 (systolic pressure) or the second number is higher than 90 or both are elevated. If the fi rst num-ber is the only high num-ber, the condition is called

i s o l a t e d systolic hy-pertension, and it does r e q u i r e treatment.

M a y -be some things you do on your own can restore you to a state of perfection.

Adopt a low-salt diet con-sisting mostly of fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Meats should be lean and limited to 6 ounc-es a day. Try to boost your intake of potassium-rich foods – baked potatoes with their skins, sweet po-tatoes, bananas, tomatoes, lima beans, soy beans, prunes, squash, spinach, cantaloupe, orange juice and almonds. Weight loss lowers blood pressure. So does daily exercise, like brisk walking.

The same medicines used for elevations of both numbers are used for iso-lated systolic hyperten-sion.

The booklet on high blood pressure describes the details of this common disorder. Readers can or-der a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue – No. 104, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Can. with the recipient’s printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery.

Dear Dr. Donohue: What can you tell me about pulmonary fi bro-sis? How long does a per-son live after he or she is diagnosed with it? How

does it start? Is it genetic?– K.W.

Fibrosis is the layingdown of strands of scartissue. “Pulmonary” indi-cates this process is tak-ing place in the lungs. Itscause is still unknown, sothe full name is idiopathicpulmonary fi brosis, “idio-pathic” meaning “causeunknown.” The infl uenceof genes is also unknown.

Usually it appears ina person’s 50s, and it of-ten has been present formonths or years before thediagnosis is fi nally made.Early symptoms can bemild. The fi ber strandsinterfere with the passageof oxygen into the blood,so shortness of breathis its primary symptom.Breathlessness can prog-ress to feeling windedeven when seated.

Supplemental oxygenoften is required. Immu-nizations with the pneu-monia and fl u vaccinesare most important.

Combination therapyof prednisone – one of thecortisone drugs – withazathioprine is a regimenadopted by many doctors.Lung transplant is an-other consideration. Pre-dictions on longevity arefutile. Much depends onhow greatly the lungs areaffected and how quicklythe disease progresses.

DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, 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.

UNITED NATIONS (AP) – Pop star Stevie Wonder had a hotter debut Thurs-day as a U.N. peace envoy than he expected.

The singer-songwriter was in the middle of his acceptance speech as a prestigious Messenger of Peace and advocate for the world’s estimated 650 million people with dis-abilities when a fi re alarm went off in the basement conference room at U.N. headquarters.

After six long alarm blasts, Wonder cracked: “I’m trying to fi gure out a new melody!”

U.N. security offi cials ordered an evacuation of the three basement levels of the 39-story building, but a U.N. offi cial said soon after that the pro-gram could continue.

“I didn’t realize that what I was gonna say was gonna create so much heat!” Wonder quipped as he resumed his speech.

T onight I say goodbye to a good friend. Granted, I’ve never met him and he’s not a real person.

But after watching his exploits for eight seasons, I feel like I’ve known him for much longer.

Adrian Monk, television’s “defective detec-tive,” solves his fi nal case in the quirky, unforgettable show that bears his name.

It’s rare that I get hooked on a TV show. Working the night shift just about every night of the week for the past 15 years limits one’s opportunities to catch current programs.

But from the start, I was hooked on “Monk.”I never felt the need to buy a DVD player/

recorder until “Monk.”I bought one so I could record each week’s

episode.His obsessive-compulsive behavior and

countless phobias became the stuff of legend. So did his uncanny knack for solving crimes.

“Monk” ranks as the ultimate comedy-drama detective series in my book.

If you haven’t watched from the start, I urge you to tune in tonight for the fi nish.

More than anything, “Monk” tells a great

love story as the detective struggles to cope with the murder of his wife, Trudy. It’s the one case he couldn’t solve.

Until tonight.One of Monk’s favorite phrases is, “You’ll

thank me later.”I’m gonna take the time now to thank

the writers, actors, producers and staff of “Monk” for so many years of terrifi c enter-tainment.

It’s been a wonderful ride.– MARK MCKINNEY

HIT AND RUN---


CLINTON, S.C. – Tehran Cox went coast-to-coast for a layup as time ran out to lift the High Point Uni-versity men’s basketball team to a 63-61 win over Presbyterian Col-lege on Thursday night in the Big South opener for both teams.

Nick Barbour led HPU with 25 points, including 13 in the second half, to help the Panthers over-come a 10-point defi cit midway through the fi nal period.

The basket Cox his as time ran out proved to be Cox’s only one of the game, but it was a huge lift as High Point improved to 4-2 over-all. Presbyterian fell to 2-6, 0-1.

“Tehran is one of our fastest guys with the ball. He can really

push it in transition,” said High Point coach Scott Cherry. “For-tunately he made it all the way to the rim with 4.7 seconds left.

Down 50-40 with just more than 10 minutes remaining, HPU got a pair of 3-pointers from Eugene Harris and one from Barbour that made it 52-49. After a timeout, Bar-bour hit his fi fth 3 to tie the game at 52-52, then hit another a minute later to make it 55-54.

“In the second half we really ze-roed in on the offensive end of the fl oor and a couple of guys came off the bench and gave us a lift,” Cherry said. “Eugene Harris had a couple of good looks, and when a guy hits a couple of 3s, everyone else starts feeling it. David Camp-bell had a good game, David Sin-

gleton had seven assists, Jourdan Morris played a heck of a game. It was a team effort, a complete group effort.”

The teams continued to trade baskets, with HPU maintaining a slight margin. Corey Law’s dunk made it 57-54 before Presbyteri-an’s Chase Holmes responded with a dunk that made it 57-56. A pair of Barbour free throws were offset by a Jake Troyli jumper with a minute to go.

Barbour made another pair from the charity stripe to push HPU’s lead to 61-58 with 33.8 seconds on the clock. The Panthers ran time off the clock, but couldn’t prevent a Travis Smith 3 with 4.6 seconds remaining that tied it at 61-61.

Off a full timeout, Cox took the

inbounds pass and went all the way up the court.

“I’m really happy with the way the guys responded when we were down in the second half,” said Cherry. “They made some shots and made some defensive plays.”

Barbour scored over 20 points for the fourth time this season, and Singleton’s seven assists were a season high. Harris hit three 3s for his nine points, and Campbell and Morris each scored eight.

Presbyterian was led by Troyli’s 16 points, Holmes added 14 and Khalid Mutakabbir scored 10.

The High Point men return to action Saturday night at 7 against Winthrop in Rock Hill, S.C. Last year, HPU beat the Eagles in both meetings.

CHARLOTTE (AP) – Wear-ing his baseball cap back-ward, Matt Moore walked into the Carolina locker room Thursday and imme-diately began joking around with his golfi ng buddy, kick-er Rhys Lloyd

If Moore was nervous that he’s about to make only his fourth career start and his fi rst since 2007, he sure wasn’t showing it.

With Jake Delhomme sidelined with a broken fi n-ger on his throwing hand, Moore is preparing to take over the Panthers’ strug-gling offense Sunday against Tampa Bay. It’ll come after a long wait in a career that’s required patience.

He didn’t start in high school until his senior year, changed colleges, briefl y contemplated playing pro baseball, went undrafted, was cut by the Dallas Cow-boys, didn’t throw a single pass last season and has gone more than 23 months between starts.

“The only thing I can do is be ready,” Moore said. “And that’s how I’ve ap-proached the whole thing.”

Carolina signed Moore in 2007, when he was expected to watch and learn behind Delhomme and backup David Carr. Only then Del-homme was lost to an elbow injury and Carr struggled, then got hurt. Aging vet-eran Vinny Testaverde was signed, but he got hurt, too. Enter Moore. He went 2-1 as a starter to close 2007, throw-ing three touchdowns.

Moore was expected to be the backup in 2008, but he broke a bone in his leg in the fi nal preseason game.

Moore may have little to work with Sunday. Run-ning back DeAngelo Wil-liams and receivers Muhsin Muhammad and Dwayne Jarrett missed practice Thursday with injuries.

THE HIGH POINT ENTERPRISE FRIDAY, DECEMBER 4, 2009 www.hpe.com 3CSPORTS

ATLANTA (AP) – Derrick Morgan can’t remember the last time Georgia Tech won an Atlantic Coast Conference championship.

Not that he should.He was a 1-year-old when the

Yellow Jackets captured their lone ACC title in 1990, on the way to an unbeaten season and a share of the national champi-onship.

“That’s a long time ago,” Mor-gan said, shaking his head.

Ditto for Clemson, a one-time ACC powerhouse that hasn’t fi nished on top of the league since 1991. The No. 25 Tigers are just as eager to break their long drought when they face the 12th-ranked Yellow Jackets in the conference championship game Saturday night at Tampa, Fla.

“This is absolutely vital to us as a program,” said Tigers offen-sive lineman Thomas Austin. “We have a winning tradition here at Clemson. That is some-thing we take pride in. To have not won a conference champi-onship in 18 years, we see this as a unique opportunity for us. We need to capitalize on it.”

In a sense, this is a bit of a throwback game. The Tigers once dominated the ACC, win-ning seven titles from 1978-91 (as well as the national cham-pionship in ’81). Georgia Tech was a fi ve-time Southeastern Conference champion and ris-ing through the ranks in the ACC by the late ’80s.

Then came Florida State.The Seminoles joined the con-

ference in 1992, and the balance

of power shifted dramatically. Coach Bobby Bowden’s team won or shared the top spot in 12 of its fi rst 14 seasons. Then, just as Florida State began to fade, Virginia Tech joined the ACC in 2004 and immediately took over a leading role, winning the title in three of its fi rst fi ve years.

Clemson (8-4) went through hard times under Tommy West, including a last-place fi nish in 1998, and tried to chase down FSU by hiring Bowden’s son, Tommy. There were some prom-ising seasons that never quite lived up to expectations, and Tommy Bowden was dumped.

Led by neophyte head coach Dabo Swinney, the Tigers got off to a 2-3 start this year. But six straight wins silenced Swin-ney’s critics and carried his

team to a division title.One more win will bring the

title Clemson really wants.“People remember cham-

pions,” said C.J. Spiller, the team’s star running back. “One of the reasons I came back for my senior year was to try to win a championship.”

Georgia Tech also has long-term aspirations. The Yellow Jackets made it to the title game in 2006, losing a yawner to Wake Forest, but that was a mere blip in the mediocre Chan Gailey era. Second-year coach Paul Johnson sees no reason his team can’t compete for champi-onships on a regular basis.

“This is what we’ve been working for the last couple of years,” Morgan said. “Now, we’ve got to get it.”

Long wait will end for Tigers or Jackets SKINNER WINS TATUM AWARD---GREENSBORO (AP) – Wake

Forest’s Riley Skinner has won the Tatum Award from the Atlantic Coast Conference.

The league on Thursday gave Skinner its award for being its top senior student-athlete in football.

Skinner was a four-year starter for the Demon Deacons and led them to three bowls, including the Orange Bowl as a freshman. He had a 3.08 grade-point average in Wake Forest’s business school. He’s the second Wake Forest player to win the award and the fi rst since Steve Ainsworth in 1992.

The award is given annu-ally in honor of Jim Tatum, who coached at Maryland and North Carolina in the 1950s and twice won the ACC’s coach of the year award.

In this May 2, 2009, fi le photo, Boston Red Sox reliever Takashi Saito pitches against the Tampa Bay Rays in St. Petersburg, Fla. The Braves made another move to strengthen their pitching staff on Thursday by signing the right-handed reliever.

ATLANTA (AP) – TheBraves made anothermove to strengthen theirpitching staff Thursday,agreeing to a $3.2-million,one-year contract with re-liever Takashi Saito.

Saito, who turns 40 inFebruary, has 83 savesin four major league sea-sons after a long careerin Japan. He made theNL All-Star team in 2007,when he had 39 saves forthe Los Angeles Dodgers.Last season, the right-hander went 3-3 with twosaves and a 2.43 ERA in asetup role for the BostonRed Sox.

Saito is expected to re-main in that spot withthe Braves, who signedcloser Billy Wagner to a$7-million, one-year dealon Wednesday.

Braves manager BobbyCox already likes the teamthat is coming together ashe prepares for his lastseason in the dugout.

“We’ve got two out-standing relief pitchers inthe last two days and wehaven’t even been to thewinter meetings yet, sowe are way ahead of thegame,” Cox said. “You’renot going to go very farif you don’t have a greatbullpen.”

Braves add Saito

RALEIGH (AP) – TheCarolina Hurricaneshave acquired forwardJiri Tlusty (tuh-LOO-stee)from the Toronto MapleLeafs for Philippe Paradisin a swap of former fi rst-rounders.

Hurricanes generalmanager Jim Rutherfordsays Thursday’s dealbrings his team someone“who is further along inthe development phase.”

The 21-year-old Tlustyis in his third full profes-sional season in NorthAmerica and went to To-ronto with the 13th pickin 2006. He has 10 goalsand 10 assists in 74 careerNHL games.

’Canes deal with Leafs

NEW YORK (AP) – Ti-ger Woods was different, or so he seemed, with his unmatchable talent and carefully burnished im-age. Unlike some pro ath-letes, he had welcomed be-ing a role model. He was, it turns out, too good to be true, and his fall from grace calls into question the very idea of sports hero worship.

“No one has approached this level of perfection on and off the playing sur-face, maybe ever, without a single blot or tarnish,” said Dave Czesniuk, di-rector of operations for Northeastern Universi-ty’s Center for the Study of Sport in Society.

“The real story here is the meeting of expecta-tions with reality,” Cz-esniuk said. “The guy’s a human being and we for-get that.”

Woods’ apology Wednes-day for unspecifi ed “trans-gressions” – coinciding with reports of repeated marital infi delity – was, on one level, only the lat-est in a long sequence of superstar downfalls.

Michael Phelps was photographed with a marijuana pipe. Marion Jones had her Olympic medals stripped for dop-ing that she long denied. Roger Clemens and Alex Rodriguez faced dual alle-gations of steroid use and adultery. And so on.

Woods, however, was unique: a globally recog-nized brand name that evoked impeccability and historical greatness. His sponsors and handlers, his admiring chroniclers in the media, and especially Woods himself contribut-ed to the image-making.

“The public had become jaded and indifferent – they expected Barry Bonds and Marion Jones and Sammy Sosa to fall,” said psychol-ogist Stanley Teitelbaum, author of “Sports Heroes, Fallen Idols.”

“But no one really expected that of Tiger Woods,” he said. “Now that it happens to him, people are not as indiffer-ent – there’s more disap-pointment and more disil-lusionment.”

Steve Elling, senior writer for CBSSports.com, wrote this week that fans and sportswriters, himself included, were gullible in placing Woods on so high a pedestal.

“We have learned by now to invest admiration in public fi gures with a grain of salt. With Woods, we just ate the whole salt lick,” Elling wrote. “Say it with me: Never, ever again.”

Woods, for all his preoc-cupation with mastery on the course, had managed throughout his career to be viewed as more than just a golfer – loving son to his parents, civic-mind-ed creator of a foundation serving disadvantaged

children, devoted father who said he’d play less golf so he could spend more time with his two young children.

He didn’t embrace social causes, and sometimes there were brief fl ashes of temper or crudeness. But as far back as 1997, he was on record as welcom-ing the responsibilities of role model.

“I think it’s an honor to be a role model,” he was quoted as saying in a Business Week article. “If you are given a chance to be a role model, I think you should always take it because you can infl uence a person’s life in a posi-tive light, and that’s what I want to do. That’s what it’s all about.”

If that was Woods’ goal, Teitelbaum said it had been achieved.

“In terms of a role model, he’s A-one,” the psychologist said. “The fans, and especially kids, are desperate to have role models to look up to. ... People have made him the designated sports hero.

“When you’re among the high-fl ying and adored, your public will give you unconditional love as long as you con-tinue to perform,” Teitel-baum added. “But there’s a responsibility to be that much more careful and that much more transpar-ent and, when something does happen, to deal with it openly.”

The depths of sudden dis-illusionment with Woods have been almost tangible. According to Zeta Buzz, which tracks millions of blogs and social media posts, online references to Woods had been 91 percent positive before his recent troubles and by Thursday had dropped to 57 percent positive.

Woods’ fall stirs role-model debate

PAIR LEADS CHEVRON---THOUSAND OAKS,

Calif. (AP) – Ian Poulter and Zach Johnson are tied for the lead at 4-under 68 after the fi rst round of the Chevron World Challenge.

Poulter was in control at Sherwood Country Club until a few wild shots on the fi nal hole led to a double bogey. Johnson made up most of his ground on the par 5s.

Padraig Harrington had a 69.

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) – Kansas coach Mark Mangino has resigned just two years after leading the Jay-hawks to the greatest season in their checkered football history.

The university made the announce-ment Thursday as athletic director Lew Perkins met with players to give them the news.

The school said last month it would investigate Mangino’s treatment of his players. In the following days, many former players described insensitive, humiliating remarks they claim he made to them in the heat of games or practice, often in front of others.

But next came a wave of support by former and current players who remained loyal, insisting Mangino

had strengthened the long-struggling program with structure and disci-pline, crediting the rotund 53-year-old with making them better players and men.

Mangino insisted he had done noth-ing wrong and intended to return for a ninth season. He and his supporters said his trouble with Perkins, who arrived at Kansas after Mangino was hired, stemmed mostly from the sea-son-ending, seven-game skid.

After winning their fi rst fi ve games this year and rising to No. 16 in the rankings, the Jayhawks were favored by many to win the Big 12 North. But instead they failed to win another game, fi nishing the season with a 41-39 last-second loss to archrival Missouri.

Mangino resigns at Kansas

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – Minnesota Vikings star running back Adrian Pe-terson could lose his driver’s license after police clocked him driving at 109 mph – nearly twice the posted speed limit – on a suburban Minneapolis highway last weekend.

Peterson told The Associated Press he “got a little speeding ticket. I need to be more aware of the speed I was go-ing and not let it happen again.”

Peterson was pulled over just be-

fore 8:30 p.m. Saturday while driving his BMW in a 55-mph zone. Peterson was given a citation and allowed to drive away after what appeared to be a “very routine” traffi c stop.

Peterson told the AP he wasn’t driv-ing that fast. In the police video ob-tained by the AP, Peterson told the offi -cer he thought he was going “probably about 85.” When told he was clocked at 109, he said, “Seriously? ... I didn’t think I was going that fast.”

SPORTS

LAS VEGAS (AP) – NASCAR’s top drivers gathered Thursday morning for some last-minute instructions when a sleep-de-prived Denny Hamlin caught the attention of his colleagues.

“Can we all keep it down in here for Denny,” quipped Tony Stewart to a chorus of laughter.

Ah, Vegas.After 28 years of celebrat-

ing its season-ending awards ceremony in New York, NAS-CAR moved West and the party hasn’t stopped since four-time series champion Jimmie John-son rolled into town on Tuesday evening.

The festivities have included a raunchy roast of Johnson at Las Vegas Motor Speedway that was open to fans, and a parade lap of stock cars down the famed Strip. The top 12 drivers are playing high-rollers all over the city, and the experience is decidedly different from New York.

“It’s a more casual atmo-sphere,” said Hamlin, who has two of the themed suites booked at The Palms. “It seems everyone is having more fun. It’s not as stuffy as New York. When we were there, we’d do our events and then it seemed you just went back to the room

and sat there until it was time to go out at night. Here, there’s just so much to do.”

New York worked for NAS-CAR for nearly three decades as the sport tried to attract an im-portant market that is missing from the February-to-November season. NASCAR wanted Madi-son Avenue’s attention, and the three-day swing through the city typically met its needs.

But the logistics often were complicated, and the electric-ity had seemed to fi zzle several years ago, giving what was sup-posed to be a celebration a very starchy feeling.

Vegas has changed all that.A stroll through the casino

at host hotel The Wynn means seeing championship-winning crew chief Chad Knaus play-ing blackjack by himself, or Greg Biffl e throwing the dice at a craps table. Hamlin and Las Vegas native Kurt Busch have hit the nightclubs, while Ryan Newman was headed to a show.

“We go to New York to cel-ebrate,” Busch said early in Wednesday’s roast of Johnson. “We go to Vegas to party!”

The roast has been the talk of the week so far, as the 12 drivers in attendance all got a chance to

take shots at Johnson, the driv-er who has dominated them thelast four seasons. ComedianKevin Burke got the crowdwarmed up with several jokesdirected straight at the drivers,and then it was their turn.

“You’ve got everything onme,” teammate Jeff Gordon toldhim. “At least my eyebrows arebetter than yours.”

“The only thing faster thanhim is his receding hairline,”Hamlin said.

“I’m not going to say a ... thingabout Jimmie because I’m sickand tired of hearing his name,”Biffl e added.

The Big Ten fi nally beat the Atlantic Coast Confer-ence.

After losing the fi rst 10 of the ACC/Big Ten Challenges, the Big Ten rode late wins by Wis-consin and Ohio State on Wednesday night for a 6-5 series victory.

The conferences entered Wednesday with three wins each. Illinois got one in the early games for the Big Ten, but Miami and Boston College won their games to give the ACC a 5-4 lead.

Wisconsin then handed No. 6 Duke its fi rst loss ever in the series, 73-69, and No. 15 Ohio State fol-lowed with a 77-64 victory over No. 21 Florida State to clinch it.

“It’s so hard because the Big Ten is a great conference and the ACC is a great conference,” Ohio State coach Thad Matta said. “It’s a unique situation for early in the year.”

Wisconsin’s Trevon Hughes had 19 of his ca-reer-high 26 points in the second half. The Badgers (5-1) never trailed and got a measure of payback against Duke (6-1) after being routed 82-58 two years ago in a challenge game in Durham.

Kyle Singler scored 17 of his career-high 28 points in the fi rst half for the Blue Devils and An-dre Dawkins went 4-for-4 from 3-point range in the second half to fi nish with 12.

“Their offense just beat our defense,” Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said.

Duke had a couple of chances to tie it, but nev-er could in the closing moments, only cutting it to 70-69 on Singler’s tap-in in the waning seconds.

“I got a lot of buckets going to the basket, and I got to the free-throw line,” said Singler. “That’s it.”

Mountaineers fallNEW YORK (AP) – The signs were

pointing to another losing basket-ball season at Fordham, so coach Dereck Whittenburg was fi red just fi ve games into his seventh season.

The player known for taking one of the most famous shots in NCAA tournament history wasn’t able to match that type of success at Ford-ham. Whittenburg compiled a 69-112 record, including 1-4 this season.

“There was a lot of people who thought we should make a change last spring and they rode me pret-

ty hard,” athletic director Frank McLaughlin said Thursday. “I felt that with the strong recruiting class we had coming in, things could turn around. We had a favorable sched-ule. ... We should be better than 1-4.”

McLaughlin said Jared Grasso, an assistant on Whittenburg’s staff the last four seasons, will take over. McLaughlin met with Whittenburg and told him of the decision.

“I couldn’t believe how gracious Dereck was,” McLaughlin said. “All he asked was that we take care of the

kids. He said he could handle him-self, he wanted to make sure aboutthe kids. I had tears in my eyes.”

Whittenburg took the 40-foot shotthat Lorenzo Charles grabbed anddunked at the buzzer to give N.C.State and coach Jim Valvano thevictory over Houston in the 1983NCAA title game. Whittenburg wasselected MVP of that Final Four

His fi rst head coaching job was atWagner. At Fordham, his only win-ning season was 2006-07. The Ramswere 3-25 last year, 1-15 Atlantic 10.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) – Comcast Corp. announced Thursday it plans to buy a majority stake in NBC Universal for $13.75 billion, giving the nation’s largest cable TV operator control of the Peacock network, an array of cable channels and a major movie studio.

Although the deal could mean that movies could reach cable more quickly after showing in theaters, and that TV shows could appear faster on cell phones and other devices, it was already raising concerns

that Comcast would wield too much power over enter-tainment.

Indeed, if the deal clears regulatory and other hur-dles, Comcast would rival the heft of The Walt Disney Co. — which Comcast CEO Brian Roberts already tried to buy.

Comcast, which already serves a quarter of all U.S. households that pay for TV, would gain control of the NBC broadcast network, the Spanish-language Tel-emundo and about two doz-en cable channels, includ-

ing USA, Bravo and Syfy. It also would have regional sports networks, Universal Pictures and theme parks.

The deal is a major turn-ing point for Comcast, cata-pulting the Philadelphia-based company to a media conglomerate and above the pack of cable operators that remain content to run their regional cable systems.

“Does the world ever stand still?” Roberts said. Bringing NBC Universal into the Comcast family is “pro-consumer” and would allow the company to more

quickly deliver “what con-sumers want, which is ac-cess to all different types of content on different plat-forms and different times.”

In agreeing to buy 51 per-cent of NBC Universal from General Electric Co., which has controlled NBC since 1986, Comcast hopes to suc-ceed in marrying distribu-tion and content in a way Time Warner Inc. could not. AOL and Time Warner are undoing their ill-fated mar-riage Dec. 9. Time Warner has already shed its cable TV operations.

Comcast inks deal with NBC

NEW YORK (AP) — Further evidence that the economic recovery will be a slow and bumpy one emerged Thursday with reports that service sector activity and retail sales unexpectedly shrank in November as consumers held back on purchases.

The government did re-port one positive sign: New jobless claims dropped for a fi fth straight week. But productivity gains in the

third quarter showed that employers are managing to squeeze more work out of fewer workers. That’s an ominous sign for the nearly 16 million Americans look-ing for jobs — and for many others who fear losing theirs.

The government is ex-pected to report today that employers shed 130,000 jobs in November and that the unemploy-ment rate will remain at

10.2 percent. Companies have been laying off few-er workers. But they have yet to ramp up hiring, and the jobless rate is ex-pected to expected to keep climbing into next year.

The Institute for Supply Management’s service sec-tor index dropped to 48.7 from 50.6 in October. Ana-lysts polled by Thomson Re-uters had expected a level of 51.1. Any reading below 50 signals contraction. The

service sector had begun growing in September for the fi rst time in 13 months.

The ISM measure tracks more than 80 percent of the country’s economic activ-ity, including such diverse industries as health care, retail, fi nancial services and transportation.

The trade group said employment shrank for the 22nd time in the last 23 months, albeit at a slightly slower pace.

Service, retail sectors disappoint

BRIEFS---Toll Bros. loses $111 million, but sees hope

HORSHAM, Pa., (AP) — Toll Brothers Inc. lost $111.4 million in the fi scal fourth quarter, but the luxury homebuilder is seeing signs of a turnaround in the housing market.

The company’s loss of 68 cents a share was largely due to continued write downs on the value of its land holdings and staff reductions. Excluding those charges, the builder almost broke even. In the year-ago quarter, which included a larger amount of write downs, Toll lost $78.8 million, or 49 cents a share.

ECB to end some liquidity support measures

FRANKFURT (AP) — The European Central Bankleft its main interest rate unchanged at a historic low of 1 percent on Thursday and took the fi rst stepsto withdraw some of its extraordinary liquidity sup-port now that recovery is under way.

Bank President Jean-Claude Trichet told report-ers at his regular news conference that the economyof the 16 countries that use the euro will grow at a moderate pace next year, but that the recovery would be “uneven and subject to risks” as fi rms try to shore up their fi nances in the wake of the most savage recession in generations.

American, partners make offer to Japan Airlines

TOKYO (AP) — American Airlines upped the ante in the tug-of-war over Japan Airlines, vowing Thursday to lead a $1.1 billion investment in the struggling carrier to prevent it from falling into the orbit of rival Delta.

American’s chief fi nancial offi cer, Tom Horton, told reporters that the offer is “far superior” to the $1 billion rival proposal from Delta Air Lines and its SkyTeam partners.

NEW YORK (AP) – In-vestors grew nervous about the shape of the economy Thursday, dumping stocks at the last minute ahead of a key government report on un-employment.

After a sleepy day of small back-and-forth trades, stocks began slid-ing in the last half-hour. The drop intensifi ed in the fi nal 20 minutes, and with fewer than two min-utes until the closing bell, the Dow Jones industrial average was down nearly 103 points.

The index ended off its lows but still posted a loss of 87 points. The wave of selling swept through the market like a brush fi re and revealed how skittish investors remain.

The unease came ahead of the Labor Department’s November unemploy-ment report, which is due before the start of trading Friday.

The Dow slid 86.53, or 0.8 percent, to 10,366.15, but is still down only 1 percent from a 14-month closing high on Tuesday. It had been up as much as 55 points early in trading and crossed the fl at line 89 times before day’s end.

The broader Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell 9.32, or 0.8 percent, to 1,099.92, while the Nasdaq fell 11.89, or 0.5 percent, to 2,173.14.

Bond prices fell, pushing yields higher, as investors fretted about increasing supplies of government debt. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Trea-sury note rose to 3.38 per-cent from 3.32 percent late Wednesday.

The dollar mostly rose against other major cur-rencies, while gold ad-vanced.

Crude oil fell 14 cents to settle at $76.46 on the New York Mercantile Ex-change.

BUSINESS---BRIEFS---

WASHINGTON (AP) – Making a case for a second term as head of the Federal Reserve, Ben Bernanke said Thursday that he has the tools and the political backbone necessary to reel in mas-sive economic support once the recovery is fi rmly rooted.

While widely crediting with helping keep the Great Recession from becoming a second Great Depression, Bernanke faces enormous anger from both Congress and the public for bailing out Wall Street, while ordinary Americans are struggling under the crush of high unemploy-ment, stagnant incomes

and rising foreclosures.If confi rmed to a sec-

ond, four-year term, Ber-nanke vowed to work with Congress to over-haul the nation’s fi nan-cial regulatory structure and to bring about stron-ger and more effective supervision, he told the Senate Banking Commit-tee.

“It would be a tragedy if, after all the hard-ships that Americans have endured during the past two years, our nation failed to take the steps necessary to pre-vent a recurrence of a crisis of the magnitude we have recently con-fronted,” Bernanke told the panel.

DILBERT

NEW YORK (AP) – The nation’s retailers posted a surprise sales decline for November after two con-secutive months of gains, as a modestly positive start to holiday shopping wasn’t strong enough to offset weak spending the rest of the month.

The 0.3 percent de-crease, according to one measure, is especially worrisome because it comes on top of a freef-all last November as spooked shoppers went into a defensive crouch after the fi nancial melt-

down. Analyst had ex-pected a strong gain.

Analysts caution that a better gauge of the month may lie in gov-ernment retail sales numbers, slated to be released Dec. 11. The numbers offer a broad-er view of spending, in-cluding online sales and results from electron-ics chains – two bright spots for the holiday season, analysts said. Thursday’s figures also don’t include Wal-Mart Stores Inc., the world’s largest retailer.

Retailers report surprise drop

AP

Work continues on the construction of One World Trade Center. The Labor Depart-ment on Thursday said productivity was rising at an annual rate of 8.1 percent in July-September period, the biggest jump since 2003.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Productivity surged in the third quarter by the largest amount in six years while labor costs fell. While that indicates infl ation is remaining un-der control, it also signals that workers’ wages are getting squeezed, raising doubts about the durabil-

ity of the economic recov-ery.

The Labor Department said Thursday productiv-ity was rising at an an-nual rate of 8.1 percent in July-September period, the biggest jump since 2003, while unit labor costs were falling at a 2.5 percent rate.

The productivity gain was revised down from an initial estimate of 9.5 percent made a month ago while the drop in unit labor costs was less than the 5.2 percent plunge first reported. The revisions were larg-er than economists had expected.

Productivity rises 8.1 percent

Natural gas, oil prices drop

NEW YORK –Natural gas prices have slumpedwell below what they were last year, and that trend will likely con-tinue into 2010.

The New York Mercantile Exchange contract for January delivery at one point dropped to a new 52-week low of $4.44 per 1,000 cubic feet on Thursday.

Oil prices also fell Thursday despite a rally on Wall Street and promising jobs numbers. Benchmark crude for January delivery lost 56 cents to $76.04 on Nymex.

WINTER WALK ---Triad Health

Project, the Triad’s leading HIV/AIDS service organization, on Sunday after-noon will hold its 18th annual Winter Walk for AIDS. The walk will be held – rain or shine – at War Memo-rial Stadium in Greensboro.

The event is held each year to commemorate World AIDS Day and raises both awareness and funds for people living with HIV/AIDS.

“We are thrilled with all of the buzz al-ready surround-ing this year’s Winter Walk,” says Addison Ore, executive director of Triad Health Project. “We know that this is a tough year economical-ly, but we have such a support-ive community that comes out every year to walk with us and in support of us, and from every indicator, this year will be no different. There are more than 1,700 people in Guilford County today that are HIV-positive; the Winter Walk for AIDS gives each and every one of those 1,700 people a voice that says our community cares for them.”

Registration for the Winter Walk for AIDS opens up at 1 p.m., with open-ing ceremonies starting at 2 p.m. and the walk itself kicking off at 2:30 p.m.

Walkers will follow a three-mile route through the streets of down-town Greens-boro, beginning and ending at the stadium, which is located on the corner of Yanceyville and Lindsay streets.

For more information about the walk, call Triad Health Project at (336) 275-1654 or visit the event Web page at www.winterwalkforaids.kintera.org.

Nutcrackers...Doll museum welcomes back holiday favorites

BY JIMMY TOMLINENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

H IGH POINT – They’re baaaaaaaack!The Steinbach nutcrackers, one of the Doll

& Miniature Museum’s most popular attrac-tions, have returned for their annual holiday season display.

“People love the nutcrackers,” says Marlene Hed-rick, administrator of the museum. “We put some out every year at Christmas, and everybody seems to love them.”

This year’s display includes a couple of newcomers – that is, they’re new to the public, although they’ve been a part of the collection for years. One is Duncan, a Scottish Santa Claus, and the other is an Irish Santa.

“I don’t think we’ve ever had them on display before this year,” Hedrick says.

“I just think they are so exquisite, especially the Scottish one. He’s dressed like a Scotsman, with the

Scottish clothes and the bagpipes. He looks just like, to me, what a Scottish person should look like.”

The Irish Santa, of course, is decked out in green to refl ect his Irish heritage.

There’s also a collection of nutcrackers represent-ing characters from “A Christmas Carol” – Ebenezer Scrooge, Jacob Marley, Bob Cratchit and Tiny Tim.

Other nutcrackers on display include Grandfather Frost, Pere Noel, Father Christmas, King of Nutcrack-ers (commemorating the 75th birthday of Christian Steinbach), St. Nicholas and Good King Wenceslas, among others.

About half of the nutcrackers on display are “smok-ers,” according to Hedrick.

“They look like nutcrackers, but they’re smaller,” she says. “Each one of them has a pipe in his mouth, and you can actually remove its head and light an incense cone, and then you put the head back on and smoke comes out of the pipe. They’re really fascinat-ing.”

The nutcrackers were donated to the museum by Kathleen Hurson of Winston-Salem.


WANT TO GO?----Approximately 20 Steinbach nutcrackers are on exhibit through Jan. 30 at the Doll & Min-iature Museum, 101 W. Green Drive.

Museum hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and 1 to 4 p.m. Sundays.

Admission is $5 for adults; $4 for senior citizens, students and groups of 15 or more; $2.50 for youths ages 6-15; and free for chil-dren 5 and younger.

For more information, call the museum at 885-3655.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY: You may have to do a few extra things in order to win favors this year. Pick and choose your battles wisely. Consider your early years and, if you have gotten off track, do your best to start over. It’s never too late to begin again or to give your all to something you believe in. Your numbers are 3, 12, 16, 21, 32, 34, 42

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Put forth your best effort and you will reach your professional and fi nancial goals. This is a great day to make some personal alterations to boost your confi -dence and enable you to do things that you may have been reluctant to try in the past. Domestic issues may surface. ★★

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Taking time out to make some much-needed changes at home will pay off. You can add value to something you have to offer. A change in a friendship will allow you the freedom to try something new. ★★★★

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You will be faced with far more than you anticipated, making it dif-fi cult to carry out your promises. A work-related opportunity will open up, however, compromis-ing your code of ethics may be requested. ★★★

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Whether you travel physically, mentally or down the informa-tion highway, the end result will be the same. What you learn and the people you meet will en-able you to fl ex your muscles in a sticky situation that needs immediate attention. ★★★

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Socializing will be your thing but refrain from divulging any in-formation that may compromise you late in the day. Keep things light and playful. Romance or improving your current relationship will lead to a brighter future. ★★★

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Personal problems will complicate your life. Your indifference will be what saves you if someone tries to trick you into doing something you don’t want to do. Make positive changes to your personal life, regardless of what others do. ★★★★

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don’t give in to peer pressure. If something doesn’t fi t your lifestyle, back away. It’s more important that you fi nish what you start and strive to reach your goals than it is to satisfy someone else’s whims. ★★

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Turn on your Scorpio charm. Your fascination with the people you meet will bring about a very special connec-tion, changing your way of thinking and your course of action. Someone you love will broaden your awareness. ★★★★★

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Experience may count but so will fresh ideas and the desire to do your best. Take what information you can from the wise and rework what you learn so that it takes on your personality. Confi dence and con-sistency will win in the end. ★★★

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Take what you want and keep moving. It’s slowing down that will give someone the chance to derail your plans or ideas. Love is in the stars so don’t waste time if someone special wants your undivided at-tention. ★★★

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Ask someone you feel comfortable with about a problem you are having at work or with your fi nances. An honest answer may not be what you want to hear but it will help you get back on the road to recov-ery. ★★★

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Tread care-fully. Not everything will be as it appears. An older or younger person in your life who has a tough situation to deal with will trigger an emotional change. Your support will make a difference. ★★★★★

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: Noth-ing can stop you now. Go for the gold.

OKbridge, the outstand-ing Internet site that lets you compete with play-ers worldwide, has been around for 15 years. The participants in today’s deal were from four dif-ferent countries – not un-usual.

At four hearts, South took the king of spades, drew trumps and confi -dently led the queen of diamonds through West, who had made a passed-hand takeout double. East won and returned a spade, and South won and led a second diamond to the ten. He was no doubt distressed when East pro-duced the jack, and the de-fenders cashed a club and a spade for down one.

RUFF-SLUFF“Textbook” deals do

turn up on the Net. After South draws trumps, he should concede a club. He wins the spade return, leads a trump to dummy, ruffs a club and exits with a spade. Then the defense must break the diamonds or give up a ruff-sluff.

OKbridge is home to beginners and experts. For more about its mem-ber benefi ts, which in-clude tournaments, a player-ranking system

ANSWER: If the player at your right had passed, you might have tried 1NT. As it is, you have no ideal action, but if you pass, you might be shut out forever when the op-ponents bid more hearts. Your hand isn’t strong enough to try two clubs. Bid two diamonds even though you would prefer four-card support.

MORROW, Ga. (AP) – A man dressed as an elf is jailed after police in Geor-gia say he told a mall San-ta that he was carrying dynamite.

Police say Southlake Mall in suburban At-lanta was evacuated but no explosives were found.

Morrow police arrested 45-year-old William C.

C a l d w e l l III, who was being held with-out bond Thursday in the Clayton County jail. He was not

part of the mall’s Christ-mas staff.

Police say Caldwell got in line Wednesday eve-

ning to have his picture taken with Santa Claus.

Police say when Caldwell reached the front of the line, he told Santa he had dynamite in his bag. Santa called mall security and Caldwell was arrested.

Caldwell faces several charges, including having hoax devices and making terroristic threats.

LIFE&STYLE

Who said marriage should be work?I recently learned some statistics

that surprised me, but upon refl ec-tion they really made sense. What

do you think the rate of divorce is between fi rst, second and third mar-riages? Think about it. I didn’t and came to the wrong conclusion.

It’s pretty much agreed by most experts that fi rst marriages end in di-vorce about 40 to 50 percent of the time. What surprised me is that the divorce rate increases with second marriages to something like 60 percent, while third marriages end in divorce at least 70 percent of the time.

My fi rst reaction was that we would have learned from prior mistakes, we’d be wiser with the experience of liv-ing through a marriage and divorce, and maybe, just maybe, we may have learned something about our contribu-tions to the break-up. And, therefore, we’d not repeat destructive behaviors.

When I refl ected on the challenges in my own house and applied some common sense, those statistics became more logical. The reality is that the older we get, the more we’ve experi-enced, the more we’re likely to be set in our ways, and the more stress that is likely to come our direction. By this I mean that with age often comes increased problems.

In my new, second marriage, my wife and I have already dealt with the death of a parent, a signifi cant loss of savings via the recession, a severe downturn in one of our professions (real estate), blending our families with my kids, a

parent’s serious surgery, two surgeries of our own, moving, one of our dogs sent to doggie prison for attacking another dog, and a teenager.

I believe everyone in life has problems and, as I stated to my wife just the other day, I wouldn’t switch mine with anyone I know and I’m especially grateful for our family’s present good health. Health is indeed the greatest wealth, without a doubt. I’m also ex-

tremely grateful for the growth of my new career as a columnist, so I have little to complain about.

But, second marriages are a chal-lenge, and ours is no exception. Thankfully, we’re both able and will-ing to work on it. For us, it has meant occasional sessions with a therapist. For others, it may be clergy that can of-fer an objective view and unemotional help.

We’ve also both been willing to read some of the better self-help books. One we especially found illuminating was “The Five Love Languages” by Gary Chapman, which taught us, to our surprise, that we’re different from one another in how we express love and want love expressed in return. The lessons learned and the realization of what each of our “love languages” is has been helpful, though as with so

many things we know, applying them to our actions is harder than reading or hearing about them.

Some people say that marriage is “work.” While I agree with that to some degree, it’s the amount of “work” that is worth discussion. If your re-lationship is constantly fraught with fi ghts and disagreements, non-stop sessions with therapists, and regular on-going tension in the house, then that is just too much “work.”

On the other hand, if you expect sim-ply to slide by without making adjust-ments in your own behavior and aren’t willing to explore the bigger issues via therapy, clergy, and/or discussion, then you’re not putting in enough “work.” Like everything in life, there’s a balance, and the extremes tend to not work, to beat that word to death.

As passionate as I may be about a particular issue, there’s no question of my culpability in any stressful and meaningful argument or disagreement we have. And, to my wife’s credit, she says the same thing. Granted, she’s more emotional, but I’m more stub-born. I believe this is a normal gender balance. And, let’s face it; making up can be a lot of fun.

I’m going to offer a few suggestions that will help any relationship. These are ideas I learned, back in my show-biz career, when I attended a weekend seminar by the Catholic church as a prerequisite for getting married in the church. I was developing a murder mystery, a TV movie, set against the

background of such a couple’s retreat and I went undercover with the writer, as an engaged couple.

Not knowing each other well, we crafted new identities for each other, how we met, when we were getting married, likes and dislikes, etc. It was actually quite fun and extremely eye-opening for us. Here are some of their valuable suggestions, which apply to fi rst or fi fth marriages:

• Don’t go to bed angry.• Don’t call each other names.• Let go of old business, old issues.

Debate them, argue them, and let them go.

• Hold each other’s hand during an argument to remind each other of your connection and love (not easy).

• When you agree to something, whether reluctantly or not, you can-not later say you didn’t agree to it. In other words, if you give in, you’ve let go of your right to complain later.

I maintain that this short list will enhance any relationship. Thankfully, I have a loving, willing partner, and I know we’ll work through our issues and have a long, loving, fulfi lling mar-riage.

‘Glitter freaks’ love adding magic to holiday crafting

BY JENNIFER FORKERFOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

F or many crafters, glit-ter makes everything better.

It adds sparkle to even the most mundane items, especially at holiday time. Consult a few glitter fanatics and the project ideas pour out like, well, so much superfi ne glitter.

“Glitter can transform any item. It can completely change something old into something new,” says Jes-sica Okui, 31, a craft blog-ger from the San Francisco Bay area.

Okui’s next project: glittering her young daughter’s dirty, white ten-nis shoes. She’ll use fabric glue, then lock in the color-ful glitter with an acrylic sealer.

For the holidays, Okui has glittered origami cranes in gold and silver, and posted the images at her blog site, Zakka Life.

Hannah Milman is a self-described “glitter freak,” but that’s little surprise. Milman is editorial direc-tor of crafts for Martha Stewart Living magazine. The crafting-industry titan came out with a line of glitter a few years ago and continues to add colors, shapes and sizes (available at Michaels Stores).

For Milman, anything can be glittered, and glit-ter can be most anything. Besides the stuff sold as glitter, she recommends

seed beads, sequins and craft-store rhinestones – just use the right glue. Milman recommends an archival-quality, water-based craft glue for most projects (Elmer’s will do) and fabric glue for glitter-ing on a fabric surface.

She can speed-talk through a long list of glit-ter projects for the holi-days. Her favorites:

• Glitter seashells in two tones to make elegant ornaments.

• Personalize store-bought holiday cards with strategically placed glitter (use a glue pen).

• Glitter small plastic animals to make a winter wonderland scene.

• Find branches, pine cones and acorns, and glit-ter them.

• Glitter jingle bells and worn-out ornaments for the Christmas tree.

“You can really achieve all those fancy, glittered ornaments you see in the stores,” says Milman. “You can do that yourself, and it’s an heirloom forever.”

Milman also suggests glittering your own photo-graphs. At Martha Stewart Living’s Web site, a photo

can be transformed into a “glitter by numbers” image.

For Sandra Lee, host of HGTV’s “Sandra Lee Cel-ebrates” holiday specials, glitter defi nes the winter holidays.

“You can’t have Christ-mas without glitter,” Lee says. “Glitter is what makes it magical.”

In her holiday specials, which air Saturday nights through Dec. 19, Lee employs a healthy amount of glitter. She suggests these fast glitter tricks for holiday decorating and entertaining:

• Use a spray adhesive and dust a store-bought fl ower centerpiece with glitter. Lee recommends using a superfi ne, irides-

cent glitter on red roses.• Make holiday “crack-

ers” by fi lling empty toilet-paper rolls with treasures and wrapping them in gift wrap. Cover that with gold glitter netting (or spray with adhesive and dust with glitter).

What, pray tell, is glitter’s allure?

“It’s the brilliance. It’s something it does to the synapses of the mind. It just makes you happy,” says Barbara Trombley, who launched the fi rst art glitter business in this country in 1983. Today, the Art Institute Glitter, based in Cottonwood, Ariz., makes 400 glitter colors in nearly a dozen sizes and types.

“If you hover over a tray of glitter and move your head a little bit ... it makes you appreciate color so much,” says Trombley.

The downside to glit-ter is its pesky tendency to travel everywhere a crafter doesn’t want it to go. Sealants keep glitter in its place after a project is fi nished.
