Thi(d ]llaoe '·i~ the contest ' .,,-----...;_.....,.,..,.....,.,..- NEW YORK (AP) Retailers who have watched with dismay as the preChristmas rush hasn 't mate· rialized in big bucks are now hoping customers will show up in the next few days and even after the holiday season. "The season is reflecting great spending caution and could be the weakest in a dozen years," said Kurt Barnard, president of Barnard's Retail Trend Report. Retailers had a good start to the season with a betterthan-expected sales during the Thanksgiving weekend, but sales subsequently were surprisingly weak. Analysts say consumers have cut back on their spending because of worries about job security and the economy's uncertain recovery. Shoppers over the weekend were searching for the best price, and retailers were accommodating them with two-for-one specials and other deep discounts. At K-B Toys lnc·., "we are happy · that we are holding ground, but we were really hoping for a higher increase" during the weekend, . spokesman John Reilly said Sunday. At Sears, Roebuck and Co., the company offered a 10 percent discount on near· ly everything in the store from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m on Saturday. Gloves and other cold weather merchandise, as well as digital cameras and jewelry didwell, accord. ing to Ted McDougal, a company spokesman. Still, business · over the weekend was in line with the company's modest holiday expectations, which is for a. mid single digit sales decline. K-B Toys, which offered discounts anywhere from 10 percent to 30 percent, reported that while customer traffie . was strong, sales only showed a slight gain from a year ago. The retailer is now focusing on the final days of the month to recoup business. Barnard believes sales at stores that. have been open at least a year, known as samestore sales, could fall below his already reduced 2 percent forecast. Same-store sales . are considered the best indicalor of a retailer's health. "It was a solid weekend, but retailers needed a spectacular weekend," said C. Britt Beenier, chairman of America's Research Group .. "It waswhat I expe9ted, but not what 1 hoped." Shoppers interviewed t)jis weekend liked the lower . ' pnces. "!'guess I am looking for more bargains than normal," said Leon Fenhaus, who found diamond jewelry discounted up to 50 percent at the Empire Mall in Sioux Falls, S.D Ronda Golden, . from Yukon, Okla., who began her holiday shopping right after Thanksgiving, said she should have waited for a better price. "! could have gotten a CD burner I bought for my daughter for half of what I paid," said Golden, who was shopping at the Perin Square Mall in Oklahoma <::;ty. But the heavy markdowns might take a toll on retailers' earnings, an especially painful result, because.many merchants hope to bring in half their annual profits during the holidays.

"Sebastian was a soul mate. He was t~e best friend I ever had," said Stimpfle, 52, of nearby Lockbourne. Sebastian is close by though. Stimpfle had him cremated, as she did with five other dogs, and keeps all of their remains in urns on her computer desk in her family room. Some urns have the dogs' pictures. At times, she takes the · remains of her pets with her on car trips, depending on where she is going and which pet liked to go there. "It brings me comfort, " she said. Pet cremaiion has grown in popularity as owners consider pets to be like family and they become more comfortable expressing their emotion about lost animals, funeral directors and veterinarians say. Specific figures on pet creinations nationwide are not available. Veterinarian Nikki Kelly of Columbus said the motivation for having pets eremated reflects a change in soeiety as pet owners put more importance on · their relationships with their animals. These are the sallie people who seek out specialists to treat their animals for conditions such as cancer and heart disease just as peO'ple Would be treated, she said. "They're children, not just animals," Kelly said. Kelly, who has practiced throughout Ohio, said most clinics now offer cremation. Bill Remkus, owner of Hinsdale Animal Cemetery near Chicago, began eremating pets 10 years ago at the request of pet owners interested in the service. Today. the cemetery does up to 20 pet cremations a day. "People . nowadays are more open about expressing their feelings about companion animals," he said. Randy Schoedinger of Schoedinger Funeral Service, which has II chapels in central Ohio, said dogs .and cats account for about 90 percent of the 2,000 cremations his business does annually. He also has cremated goats, rabbits and even goldfish and an 1guana. "It's about people wanting choices," he said. "Pets are valued more as pan ·of a family," It can take up to a couple of hours to cremate a pet in a crematory that operates at 1,600 degrees. Bone fragments are all that is left.

Brittany Bogan donated one of her dolls wrapped in a blanket. "This is a special doll," she said. "It's kind of cute," the Rev. William Saunders, pastor of St. Mark's Evangelical · Lutheran Church, said Sunday. "Everybody was really Your .' . touched by Brittany's gift." Her father, Ernest Bo$an, said Brittany performed m a children's play at the church on Dec. IS and noticed the empty crib. The theft apparently occurred on Dec. 8. When told the statue had been stolen, Brittany said, "That's awful. Why would somebody do that?" her father said. Saunders said the Nativity scene, with 15 figurines including Mary a~~ Jos~ph, has been a fam1har s1ght downtown for nearly 20 years. All the figurines are tied down with wire cable, WIN I ng· . January 5th and the baby Jesus was wired to its crib. The wires holding the statue of Jesus were cut. A parishioner has offered to pay to replace the statue, Saunders said. But finding such a figurine might be difficult because the Nativity set is old. The pastor said he couldn't guess how much a replacement would cost if one could ·be found. Saunders did not file a police report about the theft. He said he has forgiven the thief and is not concerned that anyone is punished. "I .think .it's a prankster," he said. "You hope somebody will realize what they've done" and return the statue. ·Best Service at the Best Price Open 9am-5pm · Free estimates, free In home pickup Call us for all your home computer needs! · 446-7850 Refurbished Computer Systems starting at $50 with Monitor!

Time's 2002 picks are 1,musual in that most people cited by the magazine in the past have been well-known . public figures . Last year's selection was New York Mayor Rudolph, Giuliani , for hi s conduct in the aftermath of the Sept, II , 2001, terrori st attacks. Rowley, Cooper and Watkins were selected "for believingreally believing - that the truQ! is one thing that must not be moved off the books, and · for stepping in to make sure . that it wasn ' t." Rowley, 48, was the FBI agent based in Minneapoli s whose · scat hing memorandum to FBI Director Robert Mueller last May said agency headquarters· ignored her pleas in the weeks before the Sept. II attacks to aggressively investigate Z\lcarias Moussaoui, now charged as an ac.complice. In later Senate testimony, Rowley charged that the FBI was plagued by "careeri sm" and bureaucracy. Cooper, 38, was an internal auditor at WorldCom who alerted the telecommunications firm's board of directors to $3.8 billion in accounting irregularitie s. A month later, World Com declared the biggest corporate bankruptcy in U.S. history. Investigators have since uncciv.ered more than $9 billion in accounting fraud at WorldCom . Watkins. 43. was a vice president of Enron, who warned company chairman Kenneth Lay in 200.1 that the firm could collapse as a result of exten- sive false accounting. Enron al so filed for bankruptcy, and Watkins resigned last month . "It's an amazing recognition . It's . still sinking in ," Watkins sa id Sunday. "It is mindboggling and amazing because we are just ordinary average Americans ." In ·an earlier interview with Time editors , Rowley, Cooper and Watkins said some col-. leagues now hate them for exposing the mi stakes of their bosses. "There is a price to be paid . There have been times that I could not stop crying," Cooper said. The trio symbolized a criti- . cal struggle in the country to res tore trust in disgraced institutions, from business firms to the Catholic Church, Time managing editor Jim Kelly told The Associated Press. . "All three are just resolute in standing up for what is right," Kelly said. "All three of them are made of very strong character." Cynthia Cooper of WorldCom, Coleen Rowley of the FBI and Sherron Watkins of Enron appear on the December 30, 2002 cover of Time Magazine's "Persons of theYear" issue called "The Whistleblowers ".

The judgment included a record $30 million in punitive d.amages , twice as much as the court has ever granted . The 4-3 decision Friday · mostly reverses a decision by the 5th Ohio District Court of Appeals·, which had wiped out the bulk of the origina) $51.5 million award by a jury in Licking County.

"Their industry's central role in. the lives of so many Ohioans requires that." The justices also made Ohio history by diverting most of the punilive damages to a special cancer- · research fund they established at the Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and the Richard J. Solove Re se arch Institute at Ohio State University. The court noted that punitive damages are designed to deter bad conduct, not make .plaintiffs rich . The fund will be mimed after Esther Dardinger, who died at age 49 on Nov. 6, 1997. The ruling comes in a lawsuit her husband, Robert Dardinger, filed against Anthem Blue · Cross and Blue Shield and its parent company, Anthem Insurance Cos. Robert Dardinger will get $10 million .-. plus approximately $9 million 111 1nterest- from the punitive damage s. Once. legal costs are subtracted from the other $20 million, the rest will go into the fund. Anthem paid for the first three of a scheduled 12 treat.ments earlier in 1997 of a new ·technique that involved injecting chemotherapy drugs directly into Esther Dardinger's brain. Even though her doctor said the treatment was work- ing , insurance officials said the payments never should have been authorized and denied future payments . Fearful that paying the estimated $100,000 would ruin them financially, the Dardingers chose to delay treatments while . they appealed .. The notice that Anthem had denied the appeal arrived in the Dardingers' mail on Nov. II , 1997 - the day after her funeral. In his ruling, Pfeifer repeatedly criticized Anthem for its failure to act quickly on the couple's appeal. "Anthem had worn them down as surely as the cancer had. Like the cancer, Anthem relentlessly followed its own course. uncadng, · oblivious to what it destrdyed, seeking only to have its way. The ruination of a lj.fe was just a side effect," 'Pfeifer wrote . Anthem on Saturday called Dardinger's death a tragedy, but stood by its treatment decision . "We continue to believe that we appropriately interpreted the terms of the Dardingep' msurance cover-. age, as well as our medical policy on experimental treatments," tlu; company said in a statement. "Like other companies in our industry, w,e have a medical policy that exclud~s experimental treatments until they have been proven to be ~afe and effective." Robert Dardinge r ' s attorney, Robert Palmer of Columbus, stressed throughout th e proceedings that health insurers must not put profits ahead of the health and safety of Ohioan s.

NEW YORK (AP) -Three women "whistleblowers" - an FBI agent who wrote a memo . blasting intelligence failures after the Sept. !!.terrorist attacks and two executives who exposed corporate corruption - are Tune magazine's Persons of the Year for 2002. In its issue reaching newsstands Monday, Time said Coleen Rowley, Cynthia Cooper and Sherron Watkins were selected "for believing - really believing- that the nuth is one thing that must not be moved off the books. and for stepping in to make sure that. it wasn't." Time's 2002 picks are unusual in that most people cited by the magazine in the past have been well-known public figures. Last year's selecuon was New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, for his conduct in tlte aftennath of the Sept. 11. 2001, terrorist attacks. "They were people who did right just by doing their jobs rightly - which means ferociously, with eyes open and with the bravery the rest of us always hope we ·have ill)d may never know if we do," Time said of its 2002 choices. Rowley, 48, was the FBI agent iii Ariwna whose scathing memorandum to FBI Director Robert MueUer last May criticized the agency for ignoring evidence suggesting the possibility of terrorist attacks using airplanes. In later Senate testimony, Rowley charged that the FBI was plagued by "careerism" and bilreaucracy. "Ordinary people do find . themselves in those types of situations, and cettainly government employees do," Rowley said Sunday on ABC's 'This Week," where the three honorees appeared in a group interview. "And it's going to be beneficial to everyone to bring out the concerns earlier mther than later." Cooper, 38, was an internal auditor at WorldCom who alerted the telecommunications finn's board of directors to $3.8 million in accounting irregulari- , ties. A month later, WorldCom declared the biggest corporate bankruptcy in US. history. Watkins, 43, was a vice president of Enron, who warned company chairman Kenneth Lay in 200 1 that the finn could collapse as a result of extensive false accou nting. Enron also filed for bankruptcy, and Watkins resigned last month. Watkins and Cooper acknowl- edged that a great deal was at stake in making their decisions to speak out on corpordte wrongdoing. · . The exposure of fmud at WorldCom has been "a tmgedy ··· very difficult at times for many employees." and "many people have lost their entire retirement," Cooper said in the TV interview. However, she said, "I feel very confident that we made the rildtt decision, · and there was ·realJy . only one right path." · Watkinssaiditwasnow''upto the regulators and the colllt systern to define exactly how this act plays out in co~te America.

White House officials said the new rules are in response to .mine disasters that claimed IS lives during the past two years. In both cases -an explosion that resulted in 13 deaths in an Alabama mine on Sept. 23, 200 I and another that killed two inen in Utah on July 31, 2000- it is likely lives could have been saved had the new rules been in effect then. · Rules changes announced recently would require that a responsible, knowledgeable person take charge of a mine during un emergency and that only trained and equipped rescue workers be allowed to remain in the mine until conditions are stabili zed . At the Alabama mine, eight of the victims died because of their' courage in going deeper into the mine in an attempt to rescue their co-workers. They were not trained or equipped for rescue work and were npt aware of the magnitude of the disaster. · · Had the new rules been in effect then, 'the eight men might · have left the mine immediately - and survived . · Also included in the rules change are better requirements · that miners be trained to respond to underground disasters such as f\res, explosions and flooding. The new rules are only temporary, but can be made permanent after a round of public hearings on them (including one planned tor Charleston and another in Pittsburgh.) Bush ·udministration officials acted wi sely in implementing the new rules on a temporary basi s, and not waiting for the cumbersome official process to conclude. By stressing common sense management of inine di sasters, the new rules may well save lives . TODAY IN HISTORY BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Today is Monday, Dec . 23, the 357th day_of 2002.

HENTOFF'S VIEW -Zimbabwe sliberator has imposed 9 true police state If there were a contest naming which nation's government is the most vicious at crushing human rights and the human spirit, many countries would be leading contenders. I would vote for Zimbabwe, ruled by Robert Mugabe - once its liberator, now its tyrant. The United Nations' World Food pro. gram reported on Nov. 30 that food shortages in Zimbabwe are so severe that half the population - more than 6 million people - . will be in acute need of food by March. But Andrew Natsios, the administrator for · the United States Agency for International Development, testified before Congress in August: "We now have confirmed reports in a number of areas in the most severely affected region of the country, which is the south, that food is being distributed to people who are members of Mugabe's political party and is not being distributed based on need. The children of ·opposition party members have been driven away from school supplementary feeding progmms in ruml areas." · In September, Adotei Akwei, Africa Advocacy director of Amnesty International U.S.A., told The New York Times that "people have been detained and, tortured. In (Zimbabwe) now, literally, no one's safety and security is guaranteed if there is even the slightest doubt of support for President Mugabe." The Amani Trust in Harare, the capital of Zimbabwe, monitors and treats black citizens of that country who have been tortured or otherwise punished as enemies of the state. Tony Reeler, clinical director of the Amani Trust -· which is supported by the U.N. Voluntary Fund for Victims of Torture and the Swedish Red Cross - told Christina Lamb in the Aug. 25 Sunday Telegraph in London: "We're seeing an enormous prevalence of rape and enough cases to say it's what the future holds for them - could it be a bomb?

Chris Mills suspended ALL BUSINESS Coke's move looks ·to rifresh corporate America Bv RAcHa. 8a:K · NEW YORK - Nothing good can come from the pressure that Wall Street puts on companies to meet their earnings estimates. Need proof? Just look at all the accounting scandals over the last year. That's why Coca-Cola's decision to stop giving any profit forecasts is such a big deal. Here's one of the nation's largest companies saying that it won't play the earnings game anymore. The beverage giant still will talk about its business, but it won~t try to pi:edict how much money It IS gomg to make down to the penny every quarter. That will let it focus on long-term growth. It's yet another example of Coke leading the way in cleaning up corporate America. "Companies have been focusing so much on earnings management that they haven't been managing their businesses well," said Jonathan Low, senior fellow at the Cap GeminiEmst & Young Center for Business Innovation m Cambndge, Mass. Earnings manipulation became a widesp~ problem during the booming 1990s. That s .because W~l Street began severely pumshmg compan1es that m1ssed the1reammgs targets. . . The process generally works like thts: Companies g1ve _analysts and _mvestors _an Idea of what their earnmgs wtll be, which they penodically update throu~hout the year. They are then held to those forecasts. Somelimes, though, the forecasts are too runbiti'ous and .hard to achieve. So compames start fudgmg the numbers to keep up, maybe by accounting for a sale in oml quarter instead of the next or l1ying to shift a large expense to a later date. As long as the earnings look good, investors are happy. But they lose out big when the maneuvering becomes harder to do and the manipulation game starts to · unravel, just a~ it did when the economy weakened and business slowed over the last few years, Take what happened at WorldCom, which is now operating under bankruptcy court protection. In order to meet Wall Street's expectations. the telecommunicalions company disguised more than $9 billion in expenses using _fraudulent accountmg, helpmg to ·boost revenues and report profits instead of losses. "When you manipulate eamings, you give investors a false sense of security," said Amy Hutton, associate professor at Dartmouth College's Tuck School of Business. "Investors think they .are sate, when they really are not." So how do you break··this vicious cycle? C~ke has the_right idea. . . . It s not the hrst company to qu1t g1vmg earnings estimates. The Washington Post hasn't been doing them tor years, and Gillette smce 200 I. , But Coke 1s .an10ng the worlds bestknown bmnds, and what it does sends a messa~e loud and clear. That s what hap~ned a few months ago when It "!lnounced !t would start deductmg stock options _from ~~ eammgs. Soon after, olher com.parues dectded to do the same. Coke, m 1ts announcement on Dec, 13, said it would continue to provide_infom1a- . lion on such things as Its strategic Imtml1ves and its operating environment, but wouldn 't give predictions of its earnings per share or volume growth. I It is then up to investors and analysts to determine what they think the earnings may be. . The risk of that is some potential"volatility in the stoCk. Companies that don't give estimates sornetirnes>ee (lfClller swings in their stock prices when their actual results differ signifii:antly- both on the.upside and downside -from what Wall Street predicts. Coke may be able to temper some of that by continuing to issue regular updates about its busi~ess, even if it doesn't provide earnmgs guu:lalice. . . That's what auto insurer Progressive Corp. has done. It stopped forecasting its results in the late 1980s, but after hearing complaints from ·investors about its stock's volatility, the company refined its policy in May 2001. · While it still doesn't give earnings esti- ·· mates, it now releases information monthly about th~. growth and profitability of its underwntmg business. That has eased investors' nerves. . "If ~ou r.rovide guidance, you make an tmplicu. promi$i! . to investors and you put your abtlity to make your best decisions at risk," said Tom King, vice president at Progressive.

Two days after four boys drowned in Lawrence, Mass., after plunging through thin ice on the Merrimack River, the ''Today" show's Katie Couric interv1ewed Jaycob Morales, 10, and Francis Spraus, 9, the two boys fished out of the ri ver alive on Dec. 14. After the talkative Morales was through, Couric add ressed a question to Spraus, who had tried unsuccessfully to hang on ·to a 7year-old friend who died before his eyes. When the camera turned to him, Spraus was sobbing. He could barely talk. Couric asked another question. · "It's OK," she said. "You don 't have to. That's OK. But can you describe at Jea.st what it is, what you felt like in the water, Francis?" "It's just so hard for me," he rephed. "It was cold, too. I thank God that God gave me another life." .The gut-wrenching interVIew was soon over. It was a competitive coup for NBC's "Today" on a story its rivals also reponed. But at what cost? Some people like to talk their way through a traumatic episode, said Dr. David Fassler, a child psychiatrist affiliated with the University 'of Vermont. But not always, he said. ~It can actually exacerbate the impact of a ~uma to push kids to tell their story or to encourage extensive contact with the media," Fassler said. "It can definitely make it worse. Kids need to work through these experiences in their own way and at their own pace." ABC's "Good Both Morning America" and ''The Early Show" on CBS aired filmed reports about the tragedy that contained brief sound bites from either Morales or Spraus. A free-lance booker from "Good Morning America" made two inquiries about interviews but packed off, said Shelley Ross, the show'•s executive producer. "We put on the air what we wanted to put on the air," Ross said. Sometimes there.'s so much e)lciternent in booking a big interview that producers don't consider what they booked, said Michael Bass, executive producer of 'The Early Show" and ·a former high-level staff .member at ~'Today.

Kremlin displays German silver MOSCOW (AP) - Adding luster to the upcoming New Year's holidays, the Kremlin put on display some of the finest pieces of its vast collection of German silver from the 16th-18th centuries, giving the public a rare peek at the shining treasures. Some of the 130 pieces of the estimated 2,000 works of silver ·in the Kremlin vaults have never been open to public view . .in Russia before, according to the organizers of the exhibition, "Masterpieces of Gennan Silver in the Kremlin." Most- of the pieces were either presents to the czars 740-446-3672 from foreign dipl omats or purchased by the Russian royal family, which avidly collected silver plates, trays. si lverware, cups, candlesticks, pitchers, vases and decorative items. The works, which went on display Tuesday, represent a wide range of styles and come from many German cities, including Augsburg, Hamburg. Darmstadt and Leipzig, Passau. German silversmiths were reputed throughout Europe, and royal houses across the continent coveted their works. The Russian Ministry of Culture, the Kremlin Museum and the German Embassy in Moscow organi zed the.exhibit.

(AP) Harold Ikeler had long thought something in his famil y caused the multiple sclerosis that killed his wife, put one daughter into a wheelchair and attacked two others. Then two local women began compiling a list of Paw Paw residents and fonner residents with the disease that grew to 13 names. That got the retired fann machinery salesman wonderinK whether something in this town of 850 people outside p.ockford had unleashed all these cases. "The ·ongoing theory is it needs a trigger to start it," said Ikeler, 70. "What the trigger is, I have no idea. It's .a mystery." Now the · mystery has captured the attention of a team of • medical detectives. Researchers from the University of Illinois College - of Medicine at Rockford are preparing to study multiple sclerosis here and in four other communities in western and central Illinois: Lewiston, Savanna, Morrison and DePue. The study is one of five in the United States that each received about $100,000 recently from the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, a sister agency to the Centers for Disease Control. Joel Cowen, head of the Health Systems Rt)search Unit at the medical school, said Sunday the scientists hope to launch the study in the spring. The researchers will try to ·verify what residents say they already know: that the rates of the disorder are far higher in their towns than the national average of roughly one case in every 1.000 people.

WASHINGTON (AP) President Bush thinks gifts should never, ever be opened before Christmas morning. A fondly recalled practice from first lady Laura Bush's childhood dictates tamales and enchiladas for the Christmas Eve menu. Like mill ions of Americans, the president's family has developed its own set of traditions - comforting in their familiarity and binding in their repetition - that govern how Christmas is celebrated. But also like many other households, those cherished yuletide traditions often must make room for fresh faces and changing circumstances. With Jenna off at the University of Texas, Barbara at Yale and their parents in the White House, the family 's holiday custom of gathering to hang trinkets and tinsel on the Christmas tree now falls toothers. And the hot chocolate that used to follow has been rescheduled for Christmas morning. Asked if any special traditions - such as the tree decorating or watching home movies on Christmas Eve - have fallen by the wayside for the Bush family, Mrs. Bush did ilot hesitate. "Yes!" she said. "We really miss the traditions because the girls are away at college. But we still drink hot chocolate and open presents as . a family. Now, we just do it at Camp David." The presidential retreat in the Maryland mountains where the Bushes headed on Saturday happens to be a tradition of sorts for the family. They often spent the holiday there when the president's father was in the White House as vice president and president. The cur.rent' president, his wife and two girls would arrive in Washington a day or two before Christmas, maybe attend a White House reception ·and then head for the hills with the rest of the large, tight-knit clan.
