And stores will be ready, having kept their own merchandise orders in check th.is season so there isn't much surplus1 to unload. Instead they can focus on selling goods for spring. "There's a silver lining ... Stores will be able to move into the newness of spring much fas~er. Tbe old will be out of their hair," ,said Arnold Aronson, managing director of retail strategies at Kurt Salmon Associates. But the uncertain economy and the prospect of war has others predicting ·business won't really pick up until fall. "Customers are more inclined to save than to spend," said Kurt Barnard, president of Barnard's Retail Trend Report. He said many people are worried about their jobs, and he expects to see only a gradual slow improvement · .until at least September. · . The holiday season was hurt by a number of predictable factors - a sluggish economic environment, a season that was six days shorter than a year ago due to the lateness of Thanksgiving, and the lack of any must-have items which could have helped drive more traffic to stores. Still, it was worse than expected. Strong consumer spending had offered hope in a bleak economy, "but that notion has clearly subsided," said Richard Jaffe, an andlyst at UBS Warburg Securities.

(AP) Descendants of the nation's most famous feuding families will face off in court next month in a trial to settle a dispule over access to an eastern Kentucky cemetery. · "I really hate that we have to go to the court system to settle this," said Bo McCoy of Waycross, Ga., one of the. plaintiff's in the lawsuit against a Hatfield descendant and his wife who have blocked access to the family cemetery. "We wanted to be gentlemen about it. We felt like we had no other choice." The cemetery, which holds remains of three McCoy boys who were tied to pawpaw trees and executed by the Hatfields in 1882, is too important historically to remain closed to the public, McCoy contends. He and his cousin, Ron McCoy of Durham, N.C., filed the lawsuit against John and Barbara Vance of Hardy, whose property stands between the cemetery and the nearest road.

As U.S. officials privately voiced mi sgi vings that the cutrent approach may not be working, Bush's foreign policy team met. at the White House to discuss limited options. Democrats stepped up their criticism, with a key senator accusing Bush of ignoring North Korea too long. · "What happened in North Korea today is predictable and totally anticipated based on this administration's complete avoidance of a responsible approach · to North Korea in over a year and a half," said Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., who plans to challenge Bush for re-election. When he came into office, Bush put the brakes on U.S.North Korean relations because he said Kim Jong 11 's government could not be trusted. The relationship spiraled downward when Pyongyang acknowledged in October that it had a secret nuclear weapons program . " It is the absence of diplomacy. It is the absence of common sense ... that has brought this on," Kerry said in a telephone interview. In a provocative challenge of Bush 's hard-nose policy, North Korea expelled nuclear inspectors Friday and announced it will reacti. vate a laboratory that the United States claims can produce enough weaponsgrade plutonium for several atomic bombs. The Koreans have said they were restarting the reactor to generate electricity. "These recent action s are not designed to produce etrctricity, but rather to advance North Korea 's nuclear weapons capability," McClellan told reporters. c'nllil'll dul' to til l' ll'al-\ BY MoRRIS AND JAMES CAREY \htJ\\l'l head WRAP WHKL ¥ r(ATLRES Q. lkn '"' " ~h pruhkm '' the dtlp of IIW \\ :uc·r 11ndL'I the 'hu\\ L'f h~ad ha' pitiL'd th~ ~ urliKl' tlrlll) h.·na;;o ... lwwn pan.

(AP) ·' .. Pomeroy. • Middleport • Gallipolis, Ohio Point Pleasant, WV WASHINGTON (AP) - Already facing a sputtering economy and slow hiring, nearly 800,000 unemployed Americans face a new woe Saturday when their federal unemployment benefits end. Democrats and labor unions, sensing political opportunity, are blaming the cuts on President Bush and . Republicans in Congress. Bush, in a late show of support for an extension, urged Congress · last week · to get it done when lawmakers return to work next month. "Regrettably, the House Republican leadership turned their backs on these families.and refused to act, and the administration chose not to intervene before Congress . adjourned,'' Senate Democratic leader Tom Daschle said Friday. "This inaction by Republicans was unconsCionable then and it is even more so now." Congress left for . the· year without extending the federal benefits, meaning that 750,000 to 800,000 unemployed workers will · get cut off Saturday. Another 95,000 jobless workers will exhaust their state benefits each week afterward. Already, I million people have exhausted all of their benefits. Bush has sent a "very strong message" to Congress to extend the benefits and make them retroactive, said Labor Department spokeswoman New-home sales hit record high WASHINGTON ' (AP) - Motivated by some of the lowest mortgage rates seen in decade.s, home shoppers turned into buyers and propelled new-home sales in November to the highest monthly level on record. New-home sales for all of 2002 are on track for their best-ever year. Sales of new singlefamily homes clocked in at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of I .07 million in November, representing a 5. 7 percent jump from October's level , the Commerce Department reported Friday. "The housing market has become a perpetual motion machine," said Joel Naroff. president of Naroff · Economic Advisors. "It just keeps on going and gj;)mg and · going." I ' I . ) Kathleen Harrington. The . agency is confident that benefits will be extended, she said, and has been relaying that to many governors who are calling with questions. Some states will continue to process claims for benefits and at least one state, Idaho, will keep paying them with the expectation that funding will be available early next year, she said. Democratic ·lawmakers rallied Friday in New York to put pressure on their Republican colleagues. AFL-CIO Also, the arranged a news conference in New Yor.k City featuring several unemployed workers whose benefits are being cut off. Scott Carmichael, 45, of Rowlett, Texas, was one of them. He was laid off in June from his job at WorldCom, where ·he had worked for 17 ye11fs. Carmichael's state benefits are running out and he had counted on an extra 13 weeks of federal benefits 'that he now won't get because of Congress' inaction on the extension. The biweekly check of $574 helped him and his 1wife Laurie pay the mortgage and health care costs for their two children, ages I and 3. Mrs . Carmichael is now considering returning to work, possibly at night, so she and her hl!sband can alternate caring for their children.

Rick said that Miguel was amazed at the lack of crime here. "In Brazil, they came into my house and stole my bicycle. Here they are left out in the yard. I go out and start Stephen's car for him every day and come back in the house. In Brazil, there would be no car,'' said Miguel. He was amazed that there were no armed police. at the bank. ... ·'In Brazil, there are many villains. At the bank there are lots of cops with big guns. There are also metal detectors," said Migu~l.

In Brazil, we have rice everyday," said Miguel. He said that Rick is the best cook in town. "He could open a restaurant in Brazil and make lots of money," said Miguel. · The school year in the U.S. is different than in Brazil, where there are only three years of high school, and each year runs from February through June and August · through November. July, December and January are vacation months. "We only go to school from 7:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. It is much better," said Miguel. 1 . Miguel plans to return to Brazil in June or July. It is his ·first time away from his family and he said that he really. misses them very much and looks forward to going home, but he also said that he will miss his new family. "Stephen is my . brother," said Miguel. Dealing with that space shortage GARAGE Today's Homes Government Printing Office lowers price WASHINGTON (AP) The charts, graphs and endless numbers that comprise the next $2 trillion-plus federal budget will be produced, as before, by the Government Printing Office. Behind that simple fact is a break with 81 years of tradition. For the first time since the initial budget was printed in 1921, the nation's public printer had to earo the job through competitive bidding. The Government Printing Office won with an offer of $387,000, the Office of Management and Budget announced this week, a sharp reduction from the more than $500,000 the GPb charged _last year. Based on a comparable amount of work, the estimated savings are $118,370, the budget office said. The White House budget office and the printing office have been feuding over the need for competition, with Bush administration officials arguing it would save money and the GPO insisting the bidding was unnecessary. After the announcement, both sides claimed victory. The administration touted the savings; the printing office said the competition proved that nobody could beat its price. The budget for the upcoming fiscal year is to be released Feb. 3. The GPO will print at least four of the five volumes; one might be handled by a private printer if, as last year, the White House wants special color technology. The GPO also makes the budget available on compact disks and over the Internet. · X12'4 Westwind off.ers light and mote · /\sa twn-sto1 y. the \Vc qwind (02.J ,732) has a tanch· styled covered porch _that wrars around 10 tile Sides.

Pomeroy stream WASHINGTON (AP) Holiday ttavelers who left before Chrisunas may have · a different airport experience if they fly home . after New Year's Day. · Their checked bags likely will be searched for explosives, although the methOd - machine, human bands or dogs - will vary by airport. And at more than 40 airpons, ttavelers with only carry-on bags no longer can go straight to the gate. They'll have to make a detour to the tickel counter or a kiosk to get a boarding pass. The changes are bound to create problems. said Michael Boyd, a Denver-based airline consultant. He offered this advice: Don't check anything and get there very early. ~ "It could'k total chaos," he said. Enhanced security at airports isn't new for frequent air ttavelers. They know that they' II have to show a government-issued ID several times before reaching the gate. Coats, and sometimes shoes, must. 1 be taken off 'and run through the same machines that check carryon bags. Tmvelers may be randomly selected for a second. and even a third. search. · The new security is overseen by the Transportation Security Administtation. created after the · Sept. II attacks to protect ttavelers . from terrorists. In the past year, the agency has hired more than 50,000 people - distinguished by their white shirts and yellow embroi- · dered badges - to screen ·passengers an\f baggage at 424 commercia! airports. . . Now the TSA is in the mids_t.of addifJg;another layer of se0"'ty: screening all checked bags for explosives. It's an enormous undertaking - an estimated 1.5 billion bags get checked at U.S. airports every year. · Small airports can easily meet the requirement that all bags be screened because .1hey can use labor-intensive methods such as searching by hand and using a wand that detecls explosives residue on the outside of bags. Larger airports need more effi · cient SUV-sized bomb-detection machines. They 've been in short supply. though, and it can take months for older airports to shore up floors to hold them, build . jJower stations to run them and construct ramps. conveyor belts and guardrails to incorporate them in baggage handling systems. Congress ·originally stipulated that every bag be screened starting Jan. l. But last month lawmakers agreed to extend the deadline after airport managers complained the TSA had waited until this summer to begin ordering, delivering and installing the bomb-detection machines - 100 tale to meet the cut-off date.
