Actually Richard Gates from Stata Corp in a private
email sugested the same thing. When I performed this
analysis, only the linear component was significant
with a p-value close to that produce by simply
including the the "un-dummy" term. So that is good. Is
there a reference for this orthogonal polynomial
approach?

Thank you,
