Airlines reroute flights LONDON ? At least seven airlines, concerned by Iran's deteriorating communications capabilities, have rerouted flights between Europe and Asia to avoid Iran, an official of the International Air Tran sport Association said. Leslie Armen, the association's technical director for the Middle East, told the Associated Press that communication facilities at Busher and Bandar ? key relays for planes communicating with Tehran air traffic control ? went out of service this week. Armen said Iranian authorities have issued notices to pilots that Tehran is unable to provide normal air traffic control services.

Snow was piled nearly 2 feet deep in Buffalo Saturday, and several hundred people were camping out in schools and offices until the streets could be cleared. Some dined on emergency rations, while one group sent next door for pizza and chicken wings. The students, teachers and travelers at South Park High School were among hundreds forced to stay overnight in schools and factories in south Buffalo after a near-record snowfall in western New York. Elsewhere, record cold greeted people across much of the Sun Belt. Temperatures were in the 20s in Alabama, .Tennessee, Louisiana and Georgia ? even as far south as Jacksonville. Fla.. where it was 28 degrees, the coldest Dec. 1 in 102 years. The snowstorm swept into western New York on Thursday, picked up huge amounts of moisture while blowing across the unfrozen Great Lakes, and by Saturday had left up to 3 feet of snow in some places. The storm was blamed for the deaths of at least two people, including a man whose car slid into a snowplow blade in Elma, N Y. Nearly all major roads were jammed by slow-moving traffic and abandoned vehicles, and a 60-mile stretch of the New York Thruway was closed. Research on pigs CHAPEL HILL, N.C. ? Research on a colony of pigs with a disease similar to hemophilia in humans has offered hope to scientists for a breakthrough in solving the mysteries of hardening of the arteries. The pigs, one of two such colonies in the world, have von Willebrand's disease, an inherited disorder that makes them susceptible to prolonged bleeding. Scientists at the University of North Carolina Medical School say the pigs are far less likely to develop hardening of thearteries than are normal pigs. Hardening of the arteries, or atherosclerosis, is a direct cause of both heart disease and stroke. "The whole world is watching these pigs. A lot of what people all over the world do in the future to study atherosclerosis may depend on what these pigs tell us," Dr. Thomas Griggs, a member of the school's department of pathology, said. One thing the pigs have shown is that they are at least partially protected from atherosclerosis by the absence of a certain protein in the blood that causes the clotting problem. Griggs said the widely held belief is that the ob struction in hardened arteries may be caused by an accumulation of platelets, blood cells that trigger clotting. 6XXXXX36963636X363SXX363CX?30eS6XXX36X36Sei* V*?? flPBMBi mm m dlt* t' ' 'IFT IDEAS?

Five of the seven commissioners made the decision without discussion at a meeting which lasted less than five minutes. Opponents of the utility's request for a $45.6 million rate increase subpoenaed the governor last week because they wanted him to testify about nuclear waste disposal. One of them, state Sen. Tom Turnipseed, DLexington, said again after the commissioners' decision that a state court would be asked to make the governor appear. He noted 10 days is granted for an appeal after the formal decision is handed down on Monday. Lice on the rise COLUMBIA ? Lice outbreaks are on the rise in South Carolina schools, according to a consultant with the state Department of Health and Environmental Control. "In a two-day period last year, over 300 school children in one county were sent to the local health department for treatment of lice," Bettye J. Endicott, said. In Lexington County, an elementary school was clospd fnr SPVPtl Have 1 n ' 41? V.I uuju ill nur Vlll l/V i UCVdU3C UI UltJ problem. Endicott said outbreaks usually increase in the fall and winter because of close contact of students. The risk is greatest among female, elementary school children, she said. "Many people taught that only dirty people get lice, are upset when their children come home with them," she said. "But anyone, rich or poor, clean or dirty, can get lice ; the stigma occurs when he keeps them." Indian dkniitp rnntinii<=><; . - - _ . ^ . w? ? w w v -w t t w v/ v/ ROCK HILL ? The U.S. Department of the Interior hopes to reach an out-of-court settlement by Dec. 7 on the Catawba Indians' claim to 144,000 acres in South Carolina, a department spokesman said. On that date the department's third-ranking official, Leo Krulitz, who has been the federal government's chief attorney in the dispute, will take a job in private industry, the spokesman said. The disputed land, which the Catawbas claim under a 19th century treaty, includes the cities of Rock Hill and Fort Mill, the Tega Cay development and a part of me ^arowmas amusement park. fpa-nc^n oi m i a -X taling Drugs y^ kiiii* liiu Iiiii ks nil ii| >,ilrs is .is i-,is\ .is ri<lini> .
