Lodge dates to Revolutionary War. 2A

BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – For the 42 members of a Masonic lodge near downtown, the tragedy in Haiti carries a significance that ties into the name of their fraternal organization.

Founded 100 years ago in High Point, the Toussaint L’Ouverture Lodge No. 524 bears the name of the Haitian leader who led the slave rebellion against French rule in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.

Pastor: King knew the power of one HIGH POINT – When the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. acted alone, he followed a tradition established by seekers of social justice and civil rights for generations, a prominent Washington, D.C., minister said Monday.

The Rev. Dr. H. Beecher Hicks Jr. called it the “power of one,” to be able to step away from the crowd to do the right thing. Martin Luther, Nelson Mandela and Mohandas Ghandi were other leading examples, he said.

“God always acts through the one,” Hicks said. “And Martin Luther King stood before Bull Connor and his mighty dogs. He taught black people how to kneel in prayer and how to rise in power.

Claiming the power of one often requires sacrifice, said Hicks, a native of Baton Rouge, La., and

the author of five books. Choosing integrity and purpose brings responsibility with it, he said.

“I tell young men and young women that the secret of life is not in what we have, but in who we are,” Hicks said. “God has put something special in you. God has given you vision to see beyond the moment and to set the agenda and the example for our people.”

Those working together for social justice become one body, Hicks said. “Who knows what we can accomplish,” he said. “When your one is added to my one and your one to the others. You need me. We all become part of God’s one. It is time for us to stand as one, black and white together, stand as one.

We need each other.” dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

Some restaurants say smoking ban has impacted business

BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

PAM HAYNES | HPE

Server Kaylin Bartlette wipes a spot where ashtrays once could be found at Carolina’s Diner on Eastchester Drive on Monday.

HIGH POINT – Since the smoking ban took effect in North Carolina Jan. 2, the late-night crowd at Ham’s on N. Main Street has greatly diminished.

Particularly on Wednesdays, when the restaurant holds its karaoke night, there is a noticeable drop in attendance, said general manager Stefanie Graverly.

“Overall the bar area, which is half of our restaurant, has seen a negative effect,” Graverly said about the ban. “The late-night crowd is just not what it was.”

For restaurants like Ham’s that bring in large portions of their profits from alcohol sales, the ban can result in dwindling sales at the bar – a favorite place amongst smokers.

But not all is lost with the

smoking ban. Other bars and restaurants have found a positive side to going smokefree.

Luke Martin, an assistant manager at Liberty Steakhouse and Brewery, said nonsmokers have stepped up to the bar area, where several televisions are located, to watch sporting events more than they have in the past.

“It’s a little early to tell, but, at the same time, I think it’s been more of a good thing here,” he said. “We have more people going to the bar to watch sports now. They aren’t so concerned with the fact that they are going to be taking in any smoke.”

The steakhouse has a patio where Martin directs customers who smoke. As warmer days approach, Martin said he is sure that the patio “will be full to the rim.”

chester Drive once had ashtrays sitting at its bar where customers sit to grab a quick bite to eat. The ashtrays are gone now, but a spokesperson for the company said that sales are not down.

“We haven’t seen an increase or a decrease in business,” said Suzanne Kulwicki from the restaurants’ regional office in Greensboro.

“We really were not expecting any impact. Most people were well aware in advance that the smoking ban was coming.”

Kulwicki said the restaurant has benches with urns for cigarette buds outside.

As of Jan. 11, health officials were focusing on five bars and restaurants in Guilford County where people have made complaints of violations of the new smoking ban. phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

GOALS

–

Scores: By 2012, the Guilford County Schools goal is for 81 percent of students to show proficiency on EOG reading tests and 88 percent of students to be proficient on EOG math tests. In addition, the district wants to have 74 percent of students in fifth grade and 77 percent of students in eighth grade to show proficiency on the science EOG by 2012.

Another goal is for 89 percent of students to be proficient on all EOC exams.

there was a 37.1 percentage gap for reading and a 29.3 percentage gap for math. The 2008-09 results showed a 33.1 percentage gap for reading and a 22.6 percentage gap for math.

“It is exciting to see that we are making progress in closing the achievement gap,” Superintendent Mo Green said when scores were released in July. “To eliminate this gap completely, we need to accelerate academic growth even faster.”

The district has a standing committee that follows test performance and suggests program improvements.

The center report also details how students of different ethnic backgrounds compare in individual subjects, dropout rates and suspensions.

GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota residents and others relying on a new calendar issued by the city of Grand Forks will get a jump-start on February.

The recently issued City of Grand Forks 2010 Calendar is missing Sunday, Jan. 31.

GUILFORD COUNTY – The achievement gap between white students and African-American, Hispanic and Native American students in North Carolina public schools has not changed in 10 years, according to a new study.

The N.C. Justice Center studied how students performed on various achievement tests over the past decade. In 200809, 43.6 percent of African-American students in grades three through eight passed end-of-the grade math and reading tests, compared to 76.7 percent of white students, a 33.1 percentage-point gap – not far from the 30 percentagepoint gap in 2000-01.

“A decade ago, state leaders studied the achievement gap, floated some recommendations to close it, and said changes were coming to ensure minority students succeed,” said Stephen Jackson, a center policy analyst. “Today, it’s clear that process achieved little. The will to solve this most fundamental of problems has waned and tens of thousands of children have been and continue to be deprived of a quality education as a result.”

The North Carolina Justice Center is a nonprofit advocacy group for the poor.

In the Guilford County Schools, the latest results showed the testing gap between African-American and white students has narrowed in both reading and math. In 2007-08,

Suspect on the run in west Charlotte club shooting MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

CHARLOTTE – Charlotte-Mecklenburg police say one suspect is being sought and another is in critical condition following a shooting at a west Charlotte night club Sunday night that sent three people to the hospital.

Police say Rodney Bowens, 45, of Belmont, fled the scene and is charged with possession of firearm by felon, communicating threats, and assault by pointing a gun.

Mark Bowens, 37, also of Belmont, is charged

with assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill/inflicting serious injury, possession of firearm by felon, and assault by pointing a gun.

He was shot twice in self-defense and taken to Carolinas Medical Center in critical but stable condition.

Police, citing witnesses, say an argument erupted inside the Get-A-Way Lounge on Wilkinson Boulevard near Sam Wilson Road. Witnesses say Mark Bowens and another man left and came back with a .38 caliber gun and started shooting.

A Duke University graduate student from Niagara Falls has no need for electricity, plumbing and other amenities found in conventional campus housing.

Instead, Ken Ilgunas gets dressed, eats and sleeps in a retrofitted 1994 Ford Econoline van that sits, rent-free, in a school parking lot. “I always just wanted to see if I could do it,� Ilgunas said in an interview. “I wanted to test my limits.�

The 26-year-old University at Buffalo graduate has lived in the van for the past year, partly to avoid running up student loan debt.

Ilgunas kept his unusual living arrangement a secret until he wrote an essay that ran on an online news site, Salon, and made him Duke’s bestknown liberal studies major. “I do find it inspiring.

He makes me want to live a better life,� said Christina Askounis, a lecturer at Duke who urged a contact at Salon to publish the essay that Ilgunas wrote for her travel-writing class.

The van experiment, which Duke isn’t shutting down, is just the latest adventure for Ilgunas. He has worked as a ranger at a national park inside the Arctic Circle, hitchhiked from Alaska to Ni-

By the fall of 2008, thanks to his Spartan lifestyle and jobs that included a stint with AmeriCorps in Mississippi, Ilgunas had paid off the last of his student loans.

He started grad school at Duke last January and, wanting to avoid more debt, decided to test his idea of living in a van on the Durham campus.

Reject fear-mongering and whining For years, mainstream Americans have been either slightly conservative or slightly liberal socially, financially and politically.

Also, moderate leaders have been truer and more effective representatives of mainstream America, willing to cooperate with each other for our welfare.

That concept has allowed me to see a basic mathematical relationship regarding hyper-partisans who whine the loudest about their particular viewpoints being the best, and that life (and America) will cease to exist if their opponents win.

Regarding the opinions of those hyper-partisan pundits, politicos and politicians, there exists a relationship that is “inversely proportional to the square.” For example, if a person is 3X as conservative or liberal as a moderate leader, their opinion becomes only 1/9th as valuable to a truly vast moderate majority. They are also only 1/9th as likely to be real patriots, be truthful, or effective as leaders.

There also exists a relationship “directly proportional to the square.” If a person is 3X more

Heed city’s advice, cut water usage

S

ummertime pleas from city officials for residents of High Point to conserve water because of sometimes severe drought conditions were common during most of the 2000s.

Now, Public Services Director Chris Thompson has asked city water department users to reduce water usage during the winter.

That’s because the prolonged cold weather has taken a heavy toll on the city’s water mains and water distribution system. The woes aren’t likely to ease too much as warmer weather arrives because, as the ground thaws, more ground movement is created. And, another nasty cold spell is expected in February by some forecasters. Similar problems exist in Thomasville but, so far, city officials have not advised water users to conserve.

On Jan. 5, an editorial in The High Point Enterprise expressed joy that precipitation in 2009 was 7.25 inches over that for 2008 – a drought year – and 2.9 inches above what the National Weather Service calls normal. The editorial warned residents not to waste water because, “if recent patterns hold true, 2010 could bring another downturn in rainfall amounts.” And, over the last couple of weeks, because of multiple water main breaks on any given day, a considerable amount of water has been lost and freezing temperatures have increased turbidity, which makes the water treatment process more difficult.

Should you see water seeping, bubbling or spraying through pavement, or extreme pavement settlement or cracking with water flowing, call the city’s 24-hour customer service line at 883-3111 as soon as possible.

Let’s all get on board with this latest call to conserve water. Later this year, you very well may be glad you did.

With incentives, we often wind up with phantom jobs

B

ack in the mid-1990s, when North Carolina first began to offer large incentive packages in an attempt to land economic-development deals, I wrote that such targeted incentives really had never been about creating jobs. They were about creating job announcements.

The distinction is important, and the passage of time has only made it more obvious.

Within a dynamic market economy, employers create jobs all the time. They create jobs during booms. They create jobs during busts, though fewer ones. But employers also eliminate jobs, more during busts but also during booms. For the economy as a whole, the key statistic is the net – how many jobs are created minus the number of jobs destroyed.

Giving out special tax breaks, cash payments, or other subsidies to particular firms can certainly be associated with job announcements. Actually, I’ll put it more strongly than that. One of the main reasons politicians offer incentives in the first place is so they can credit for the new jobs being announced, even though in many cases the companies would have made the same location or expansion decision without the incentives.

But to say that incentives work because they lead to job announcements is to miss the boat entirely. Giving subsidies to some politically favored companies inevitably means increasing costs to other companies, typically smaller ones less capable of presenting a credible threat to leave if they aren’t subsidized.

If newcomers to the community take the jobs offered at the new subsidized firm, there will be an increase in traffic, school enrollment, and other demand. If existing residents take the jobs, then they’ll usually be leaving the employ of firms without

incentives, firms responsible for a higher proportion of local taxes paid to finance those services.

Also, much of the time, the job announcements are simply wrong. The announced jobs never materialize. It’s not usually the case that politicians OPINION and employers lie about the anticipated effects of an incenJohn tive deal. It’s just not possible Hood to predict with precision or ■■■ confidence the performance of particular companies and their employment needs three, five, or 10 years out.

What’s more, those who negotiate incentive deals are rarely held accountable for job announcements that don’t pan out. Few bother to check the numbers. The Winston-Salem Journal just examined 70 local incentives packages awarded since 1990 and found that more than 40 percent of the pledged jobs either were never created or no longer exist.

The bottom line is that over the past decade and a half North Carolina has become known as an easy mark for companies seeking incentives. That’s the main reason our state shows up highly in “business climate” surveys conducted among economic recruiters. They know they’ll get a big package here.

At the same time, though, North Carolina has usually lagged the regional and national averages in actual job creation, and currently has one of the weakest state economies in the nation. It’s another example of our debilitating Blarney Tradition – big talk with little to show for it.

4 feared dead in Bahamas plane crash NASSAU, Bahamas – Authorities say four people were aboard a small plane that crashed into the sea after taking off from the Bahamas en route to Florida.

TEHRAN, Iran – The failure of the six key powers at the U.N. to levy new sanctions on Iran was hailed on Monday

Brazil boy to get 4 more needles removed SAO PAULO – Doctors will remove four of the five sewing needles remaining in the body of a 2-year-old Brazilian boy, who was stuck by his stepfather in an alleged plot to spite his wife.

Of 31 needles found in the toddler’s body, only one will be left after Monday’s surgery, doctors said.

4 freed after being abducted in Nigeria LAGOS, Nigeria – Militants on Monday released four foreign contractors who had been kidnapped last week from the Niger Delta, the first such workers seized from the unstable oil-rich region in months.

Local police spokeswoman Rita Abbey said the men – three Britons and one Columbian – would be interviewed by detectives trying to determine who kidnapped them. Abbey previously said the kidnappers asked for nearly $2 million for the men’s release.

Relief flights get top priority at airport ROME (AP) – The U.N. food agency reached an agreement Monday with the U.S.-run airport in the Haitian capital to give aid flights priority in landing – a deal that came after the U.S. military was criticized for giving top billing to military and rescue aircraft.

At an emergency meeting in Brussels, meanwhile, the European Union’s 27 nations pledged more than euro400 million ($575 million) to help quake survivors and rebuild the Caribbean nation after last

week’s massive earthquake.

The United States has taken over the Port-au-Prince airspace and incoming flights have to register with the Tyndall Air Force Base in Florida.

But an air slot system similar to one used during the Indonesian tsunami emergency and the Pakistan earthquake has been established to make sure that planes carrying food and medicine get priority in landing, World Food Program executive director Jo-

BRAMPTON, Ontario – A Canadian judge on Monday sentenced the ringleader of a homegrown terrorist plot to set off truck bombs in Ontario to life in prison.

Zakaria Amara, 24, pleaded guilty in October.

He acknowledged being a leader of the so-called Toronto 18 plot to set off bombs outside Toronto’s Stock Exchange, a building housing Canada’s spy agency and a military base. The goal was to scare Canada into removing its troops from Afghanistan.

er. Twelve people were killed, including seven attackers, officials said.

The assault by a handful of determined militants dramatized the vulnerability of the Afghan capital, undermining public confidence in President Hamid Karzai’s government and its U.S.-led allies.

The attacks also suggested that the mostly rural Taliban are prepared to strike at the heart of the Afghan state – even as the United States and its international partners are rushing 37,000 reinforcements to join the eight-year war.

“We are so concerned, so disappointed about the security in the capital,” said Mohammad Hussain, a 25-year-old shopkeeper who witnessed the fighting.

“Even though the slots are limited and the need is great, we now have the coordination mechanism to prioritize the humanitarian flights coming in,” Sheeran said.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) – Troops, doctors and aid workers flowed into Haiti on Monday and officials said billions of dollars more will be needed following the quake that killed an estimated 200,000 people and left many still struggling to find a cup of water or a handful of food.

European nations pledged more than a half-billion dollars in emergency and longterm aid, on top of at least $100 million promised earlier by the U.S. The president of the neighboring Dominican Republic said it will cost far more to finally rebuild the country: $10 billion.

Roughly 200,000 people may have been killed in the magnitude-7.0 quake, the European Union said.

Help was still not reaching many victims of Tuesday’s quake – choked back by transportation bottlenecks, bureaucratic confusion, fear of attacks on aid convoys, the collapse of local authority and the sheer scale of the need.

President Barack Obama serves lunch to people at So Others Might Eat, a social services organization, in Washington on Monday.

Worshippers urged not to ‘sanitize’ King’s legacy ATLANTA (AP) – A scholar and activist invoked the fiery side of Martin Luther King Jr.’s rhetoric Monday at the civil rights icon’s church, urging the audience not to “sanitize� King’s legacy or let the president off the hook on issues like poverty.

Across the country, Americans marked what would have been King’s 81st birthday with rallies and parades.

But in the city where the 1964 Nobel Peace Prize winner was born, it was Princeton University professor Cornel West who reminded listeners that King’s message of nonviolence came with a fiery urgency.

He delivered a passionate keynote address to hundreds at Ebenezer Baptist Church on the 25th federal observance of King’s birthday.

West told the crowd to remember King’s call to help others and not enshrine his legacy in “some distant museum.� Instead, West offered, King should be remem-

bered as a vital person whose powerful message was once even considered dangerous by the FBI. “I don’t want to sanitize Martin Luther King Jr.,� said West, who teaches in Princeton’s Center for

Reputed al-Qaida backer set for trial NEW YORK (AP) – The strange case of Dr. Aafia Siddiqui is riddled with curious questions.

Why did she surface in Afghanistan in 2008 carrying notes that authorities claim referred to a “mass casualty attack�? How did she end up in an alleged shootout after her capture? And will she keep up her courtroom rants?

Jurors should get some answers today when Siddiqui goes on trial for attempted murder and assault in federal court in Manhattan. The defendant – a reputed

al-Qaida associate and neuroscience specialist trained at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Brandeis University – has offered her own odd objections. “There’s too many lies, injustices and hypocrisies here,� she announced last week during jury selection.

Authorities have accused Siddiqui of fleeing the United States to her native Pakistan in 2003 after marrying an al-Qaida operative related to Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks.

THOMASVILLE – For Thomasville resident Alfonso Billie Jr., who is jobless after being laid off, Monday’s annual Martin Luther King Community Health Fair at Thomasville Medical Center came at the right time.

“I think it’s so great,” Billie said of the free health care clinic. “People who don’t even have insurance can come. ...

They can come in and get a check-up. I think that’s one of the greatest things they do.”

Sponsored by the Martin Luther King Social Action Committee and the Thomasville Medical Center, the free clinic offered screenings for cholesterol, prostate cancer, blood pressure and vision. H1N1 vaccines also were offered by the Davidson County Health Department at the seventh annual fair.

“We thought it was a great way to help celebrate and honor Dr. King and also to get people in for some screenings at the beginning of the year,” said Jane Wilder, Thomasville Medical Center

Trinity revisits sewer project

BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRINITY – The Trinity City Council tonight will consider engineering services and grant administration agreements for a sewer project involving one of the city’s businesses.

Last year, the City Council and Randolph County Board of Commissioners agreed to contribute $25,000 each toward a $680,000 project that would

provide sewer service to Trinity Furniture. The rest of the project would be funded by the furniture company, as well as grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Development Block Grant, N.C. Rural Economic Development Center and North Carolina Industrial Development Fund.

“We’ve got the three grants, the budget, and we are at the point where we need to secure a grant

administrator and the services of an engineer,” said Ann Bailie, Trinity’s city manager.

At the meeting tonight, the City Council will consider an engineering services agreement with Davis, Martin, Powell & Associates, as well as a grant administration agreement with Stephen F. Austin.

Jorge Lagueruela, owner of Trinity Furniture, has told the City Council that his company would

fund $310,000 of the project. Lagueruela needs sewer because the lack of service prohibits the company from adding employees. The Randolph County Health Department limits Trinity Furniture to 55 to 60 workers, but the company in November employed about 80.

In 1984, Lagueruela and next-door neighbor John Kennedy invested $1,000 to establish Trinity Furniture. Harry Lane, Randolph County Economic

Jody L. Anderson

AP

John Cruise, a World War II veteran, has been fighting back against rumors that he has passed away. Cruise’s wife recently received a condolence letter from a life insurance company instructing her on how to collect on her husband’s policy.

SC man is tired of being killed off by technology ORANGEBURG, S.C. (AP) – Call it reincarnation, nine lives, or just plain ol’ luck.

One Orangeburg man has been killed off so many times he has to check his pulse to make sure he’s really alive.

It’s happened before and it’s happening again. World War II veteran John Cruise, who fought at Bastogne and rode with Patton’s 3rd Armored Division for a while across half of Germany, has been taken down by the stroke of a keyboard. “I didn’t want to tell my life’s story, that’s not what I’m after,� Cruise said. “But that’s my main goal letting others know.�

Perhaps noble of Cruise to let others know when he himself wasn’t told the news, which came as news to him: he was dead.

In November, his wife, Betty, received a letter from the couple’s retirement company asking how his family wanted to handle the benefits after John’s recent and hitherto unknown death. “They wrote the nicest letter of condolences,� Cruise said.

Perhaps an understatement, the 87-year-old said 2009 was just not his year. In April he went in for sameday surgery and spent a month in the hospital recovering from every flu and bug listed in Merck’s Medical Manual.

After spending several more months at home recuperating, he finally got on the mend swinging the golf clubs again and was back at his volunteer work.

Then, with thoughts of another round of golf in mind, the letter arrived and Cruise learned he was dead.

Appearing very much alive, Cruise said with a call to the company and an explanation that he hadn’t quite used up all of his lives yet, the matter was cleared up. Again.

This isn’t the first time it’s happened to Cruise. Actually, he’s been declared dead several times, and, so far, each time he’s experienced what could be termed a medical miracle by returning to life.

But that Lazarus Effect came only after a lot of patience and phone calls.

In 2006, Cruise’s name turned up on a retirement company’s deceased list several times. And each time he brought himself back to life with them, they killed him off again.

The problem was that each time they did, they withheld his retirement benefits. Until he can confirm his interest on his savings didn’t die too, he’s concerned that interest may have been withheld also. “I tell people and they say it’s funny,� Cruise said. “But it’s not real funny when you can’t even prove you’re alive.�

Cruise said at this point, he’s concluded, among other things, that he’s simply a number to the companies who control such things. “It goes a little further than that,� he said. “One of these days, and they’re going to be right, they’re always right, you won’t win.�

Having survived a “paper death� several times previously, Cruise said he made no arrangements for his funeral nor did he include himself in his own will. He’s not letting a little thing like dying get in his way of enjoying his life.

Boyfriend’s bedside manner gives little comfort

D

ear Abby: I rent my own apartment and my family lives an hour’s drive away.

My boyfriend of one year, “Mac,� lives about 10 minutes from me and spends the night a few times a week and viceversa.

I got the flu last month and it developed into bronchitis. I was so sick I could barely drag myself out of bed. I asked Mac to come over and take care of me and he said, “No, I don’t want to get sick.

I’ll come by when you’re better.�

Abby, if someone cares about you, don’t you think he should help out – maybe make some soup, give you water at your bedside and just be there in general? If Mac got sick like that, I would go over and take care of him.

But he wasn’t willing to do the same. He said he doesn’t feel it is “his job.�

I am upset by this. Is it an indication of how he would be if we got married? – In Sickness And In Health Dear In Sickness: Yup. It appears Mac isn’t the nurturing kind. However, if he has everything else you’re looking for in a man, this needn’t be a deal breaker. Instead of expecting him to intuit what you need, try telling him what you want.

Example: “Send some

ADVICE Dear Abby â– â– â–

soup over.� “Please empty the trash.� “Call an ambulance.�

You get the idea. If that doesn’t do the trick, then scratch Mac.

Dear Abby: One of my bosses insists on using his speakerphone for conversations – business and personal – with his office door wide open. He speaks loudly, and both sides of the conversation can be clearly heard throughout the office. He also walks through the hallways with his cell on speakerphone.

Everyone who works here finds his behavior annoying and boorish.

No one says anything, and he doesn’t get the message when a chorus of doors slam shut each time he begins one of these calls or walks by with his cell phone blasting. Any ideas on how to address this issue? – Unwilling Third Party In The Northwest Dear Unwilling: Is no one, including your boss’s assistant, close enough to him to tell him that his loud phone conversations are dis-

tracting his employees and colleagues and offer to shut his door for him so he can have privacy?

Most employers would prefer their workers and colleagues operate at maximum capacity, particularly in this economy.

Dear Abby: Please settle a dispute between my wife and me. One of her co-workers, “Cassie,� is eight months pregnant and also overweight. My wife saw her and said, “Wow, you’ve gotten as big as a house!�

Cassie told her she was hurt by the comment. In my wife’s opinion, what she said is not uncommon when said to a pregnant woman and she thinks Cassie was overly sensitive. I believe the comment was inappropriate. What do you think? – Needs A Mediator, Gainesville, Fla. Dear Needs A Mediator: I agree with you. No one – pregnant or not – wants to be told she resembles an orca, and your wife should have kept her observation to herself.

Evaluating physical therapy

BY KYLE EADS

Y

ou gasped for any amount of oxygen floating in the atmosphere. Your muscles forgot what they’re supposed to do, and your bodily organs seemed near failure.

You reached the last quarter-mile marker in your third marathon.

Suddenly, you stepped on uneven pavement, and your ankle was forced into a position that would make Gumby jealous.

You became nauseated, not from pain or the fact that you couldn’t finish the marathon, but from the realization you would probably not be able to run the next day.

The medical staff quickly came to your aid. You were sent to the hospital and evaluated by the orthopedist. You were diagnosed with a grade-three ankle sprain, and the orthopedist gave you “the boot� and crutches.

He handed you a piece of blue paper that read, “physical therapy order.� “You can choose your own therapy clinic, or we can make a few suggestions,� he said.

You had never had physical therapy, and all you can remember are the descriptions of “torture� associated with the words “physical therapy.�

So what constitutes quality/evidence-based physical therapy?

The quality factor should be evident from the first visit. Does the therapist complete a thorough evaluation with a hands-on approach?

Are the questions, special tests and goals centered on your unique circumstances? Was the evaluation completed in five minutes? Did you have the therapist’s sole attention?

Upon completion of the first visit, you should have a clear understanding and appreciation of patient/therapist roles.

If you left the first visit asking, “What was that?� remember you are the consumer, and you have control.

Subsequent treatments will be based on the initial evaluation. You may be seen by the therapist or therapy assistant. You should never see a different therapist or assistant every treatment session.

Continuity of care is critical.

If you leave physical therapy appointments doubting quality care, verbalize your concern to the therapist. Notice his or her attentiveness and eagerness to develop an action plan. If those two things don’t exist, do not schedule any future appointments, and contact your referring physician.

What causes atrial fibrillation?

D

ear Dr. Donohue: Will you address a two-fisted problem for me? I am almost 84, have never smoked and take one medicine for my blood pressure, which is well-controlled.

I became embroiled in a debate and torrid letter exchange with a “community leader.” During this time, I saw my doctor, and he detected atrial fibrillation. He also had me check with a sleep-disorder expert who found sleep apnea and recommended my use of a breathing device during sleep.

Is there a likelihood that my prolonged and unresolved debate contributed to my atrial fibrillation? Have you an opinion on the breathing devices used for sleep apnea? Does it ever lessen so that the device isn’t needed? – R.K.

BLONDIE

B.C.

Atrial fibrillation is a completely out-of-step and rapid heartbeat that has many consequences.

For one, clots can form in the atria because blood stagnates there.

For that reason, most atrial fibrillation patients have to be put on a blood thinner. Secondly, the rapid, irregular heartbeat impairs heart pumping. Restoring a normal heart rhythm is tried but often simply slowing the irregular heartbeat is sufficient to restore good pumping action. High blood pressure, heart valve problems, coronary artery disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and an overactive thyroid gland can induce

atrial fibrillation. I haven’t been able to find stress as a cause, but I imagine it could HEALTH be. Stress releases Dr. Paul chemicals Donohue like adrena■■■ line that affect the heart rate and its beating.

Sleep apnea is spells, occurring when asleep, during which breathing stops. Sleep apnea can throw the heart into atrial fibrillation.

During the no-breathing episodes, carbon dioxide builds up in the blood, and that buildup can influence the heart’s rhythm. CPAP, continuous positive airway pressure, is the device that imparts force to inhaled air so it can pass through the throat obstruction that stops a person with sleep apnea from breathing. The obstruction is often redundant throat tissues that collapse to block air flow. Obese people who lose weight might stop the use of the CPAP machines.

Dear Dr. Donohue: Is any medical test available that measures the production of stomach acid? My diet is carefully monitored. I drink no alcohol or coffee, and eat no citrus fruits or chocolate.

I read that elderly people tend to produce less acid.

For these reasons, I wonder if it would be helpful to know exactly how much acid is produced.

– Anon.

Stomach acid can be measured. One way requires a tube be passed into the stomach through the nose or mouth. The stomach contents are suc tioned, and the acid content is determined. This is something not often done. It wouldn’t serve a useful purpose for you.

Measurement of stomach acid helps make the diagnosis of Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, a condition in which a pancreatic tumor throws stomach acid production into high gear.

Dear Dr. Donohue: Please give me your opinion on the treatment for Grover’s disease, from which I have suffered for more than a year. I have a severe itch on my back and chest. Currently I use 1 percent hydrocortisone cream. It’s not working.

– J.G. Grover’s disease is an outbreak of tiny, red bumps and tiny blisters, mostly on the skin of the trunk. It can be intensely itchy. Sweat, sun exposure and heat are linked to outbreaks.

Perhaps a more-potent cortisone cream would help control the itch and rash. Diprolene and temovate are two such products. Dovonex, a psoriasis medicine, comes in creams and ointments and has worked for some with Grover’s. Or you can try soaking in a tub of colloidal oatmeal. It often suppresses itching. Aveeno is one brand name. Antihistamines control itching. If they make you groggy, use them only at night.

Wyclef Jean calls for evacuating Haiti

Sam Worthington (from left), director James Cameron, Zoe Saldana, producer Jon Landau, and Sigourney Weaver pose with the award for best motion picture drama for “Avatar” backstage at the 67th Annual Golden Globe Awards on Sunday in Beverly Hills, Calif.

‘Avatar’ aims for Oscar glory preceded the Oscar run of “Titanic.”

“This is a trip,” said Cameron, recalling that as “Titanic” was becoming a box-office and Oscar Bridges juggernaut, he had thought to himself, “enjoy this ride, it ain’t never going to happen again.”

Sunday’s awards ceremony also opened wide to embrace the longadmired Jeff Bridges, who took best dramatic-acting honors for the country-music film “Crazy Heart,” and a sitcom actress, Mo’Nique,

who emerged as a fierce screen presence in “Precious.”

Fox’s spunky new TV musical comedy series “Glee” was honored, while the best TV drama award went to AMC’s 1960s Madison Avenue saga “Mad Men” for the third year in a row.

Other film acting prizes went to Sandra Bullock for the football tale “The Blind Side,” Meryl Streep for the Julia Child story “Julie & Julia,” Robert Downey Jr. for the crime romp “Sherlock Holmes” and Austrian actor Christoph Waltz as a gleefully bloodthirsty Nazi in “Inglourious Basterds.”

LOS ANGELES (AP) – Jay Leno staffers say their boss isn’t the bad guy in NBC’s late-night upheaval.

Leno has faced online chatter and some reports suggesting he’s wresting “Tonight” from Conan O’Brien.

“The network asked him to make a compromise. He’s being a good soldier, and he’s being trashed,” said producer Jack Coen, who has worked with Leno for 14 years.

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) – James Cameron may get to proclaim himself king of the distant moon Pandora at the Academy Awards.

Cameron – who borrowed Leonardo DiCaprio’s line from “Titanic” and declared himself “king of the world” when that film sailed to Oscar glory 12 years ago – positioned himself for a repeat with his Golden Globe wins Sunday for the sci-fi blockbuster “Avatar.”

The Raggedy kids, Ann and Andy, are two of the more well-known dolls and book characters of long ago.

Storybook dolls Exhibit features childhood favorites of yesteryear

BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

H

IGH POINT – People of a certain age – and women especially – will remember “The Lonely Doll,” a series of books about the adventures of a doll named Edith.

“They were very popular children’s books,” explains Bradley Justice, a Chapel Hill doll collector who serves on the board of High Point’s Doll & Miniature Museum. “Sadly, I think many of them are out of print now, but I remember them from my childhood.”

For those who do remember the “Lonely Doll” series, a new exhibit at the Doll & Miniature Museum will be a trip down memory lane.

“Tell Me A Story,” featuring dolls that appear in children’s literature, opens today at the museum.

In addition to Edith, the exhibit will include such dolls as Raggedy Ann and Andy, Pinnochio, Linnea from the book “Linnea in Monet’s Garden,” and Eloise from “Eloise: A Book for Precocious Grownups,” and subsequent titles.

“A lot of the exhibit is loaned,” Justice says. “We have dolls dating back to about 1915, and as new as the American Girl dolls.

We’ll also have the books that inspired the dolls.”

Visitors most likely will be intrigued by the “Lonely Doll” portion of the exhibit, because of the unique story behind the doll and the books, Justice says.

“The first book was

written in the late 1950s

by Dare Wright, who was a model that became a photographer,” Justice explains.

“She was going through some of her stuff and found her childhood doll. She lived in New York, so she took her doll all around New York and took these wonderful black-and-white photos of the doll. Then she wrote this book about a doll that had no friends, until two teddy bears – Mr. Bear and Little Bear – showed up on her doorstep one day, and she has all these high jinks with these bears.

The book has these wonderful, wonderful illustrations.”

Subsequent books included such titles as “Edith and Mr. Bear,” “A Gift From the Lonely Doll,” “The Lonely Doll Learns A Lesson” and “Holiday for Edith and the Bears.”

While a few of the “Lonely Doll” books are still in print, most of them are out of print, according to Dare Wright’s official Web site (www.dare wright.com).

The exhibit will feature a replica of Edith, as well as some of the “Lonely Doll” books.

“We don’t have the real Edith – she lives in a safe deposit box in California now,” Justice says. “But the doll was made by the Lenci Co. in about 1918, and we have that same exact doll in the exhibit, dressed like Edith.”

“Tell Me A Story” will be on exhibit through Aug. 31.

“The Lonely Doll” series centered on the adventures of a doll named Edith.

The cardiovascular risk that is associated with proteinuria, or high levels of protein in the urine, a common test used by doctors as an indicator of increased risk for progressive kidney disease, heart attack and stroke, has racedependent effects, according to a new study by researchers at Wake Forest University School of Medicine.

The study appears in the January issue of Diabetes Care.

“Proteinuria, a long accepted indicator of heart disease risk, has far less impact on blacks than it does on whites,” said Dr. Barry Freedman, lead researcher on the study. “In the medical community, it is believed that the more protein in a patient’s urine, the greater the risk for heart disease and stroke, and this is true – in white populations. Our study indicates that excess protein in the urine – a common finding with progressive kidney disease in individuals with diabetes – is strongly associated with calcium deposition in the major arteries in white patients, but not in black patients. Therefore, proteinuria appears to be associated with an increased risk of heart attack in the white ethnic group. There may be biologic factors predisposing whites to heart disease or protecting blacks from developing it.”

In the general community, blacks have more heart disease risk factors than whites, including higher blood pressures and LDL (known as “bad”) cholesterol levels, and higher blood sugars in patients with diabetes, Freedman explained.

As such, they face a higher risk for heart attack than whites, he said.

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

Italy led early against the United States in the 2009 Bermuda Bowl final, but the U.S. recovered with consistently better bidding judgment.

In today’s deal the U.S. West’s cue bid of two spades showed near-opening values and heart support. After East signed off at three hearts, North for Italy took the odd view to compete at the four level despite his singleton in South’s suit. North’s 3NT told South to pick a minor.

NINE TRICKS

DAILY QUESTION

West’s double of four diamonds could have netted plus 1,100. The auction suggested a trump lead, and if West had gotten his fingers on the nine of diamonds, South couldn’t have made one diamond.

But West led a heart, the jack won, and South took the A-K to throw dummy’s spade and crossruffed for nine tricks.

Even plus 100 produced a U.S. gain. In the replay the U.S. North-South sold out to three hearts and beat it. South led a club, and North won and shifted to his singleton spade. North-South got a club ruff, a spade ruff and South’s A-K of trumps.

You hold: S A K 8 H 10 8 6 4 2 D K 3 C Q 7 3. The dealer, at your left, opens one spade. Your partner doubles, and the next player passes. What do you say?

ANSWER: Partner has opening values with help for the unbid suits (or a strong hand with a long suit). With 12 useful points, you must insist on game. A jump to four hearts would suggest a shapely hand with less high-card strength. The correct action is a cue bid of two spades.

West dealer Neither side vulnerable

---

ONE STAR: It’s best to avoid conflicts; 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: Nothing can stop you now. Go for the gold.

Busch takes mature approach W

hen it comes to winning championships, Kyle Busch claims that he sees the light.

It may be a glow that won’t be appealing to what he thinks are his most loyal fans – the people who like to see him try to win at all costs. It’s a light that isn’t even all that appealing to Busch.

But, heading toward his 25th birthday in May, SPORTS the Joe Gibbs Racing driver who has Greer shown immaturity Smith when things don’t ■■■ go his way, now speaks of a more mature approach when it comes to chasing points and qualifying for the Chase for the Championship.

All it took was winning the championship in NASCAR’s Nationwide Series for Busch to realize the proper way to points race.

“Winning the Nationwide championship, and running for that and learning how to accept those second-, third- and fourthplace finishes instead of taking a chance at winning a race and tearing a car up, I think Kyle learned a lot there,” JGR competition director Jimmy Makar said Monday during the Charlotte Motor Speedway media tour.

“That did not set well with him because his nature is to go win races, it’s winning or nothing.

To win championships, he has got to give that up. You have to be consistent and take some of those finishes that you don’t want instead of winning. You’ve got to put them in the bank and move on.”

It wasn’t as if Busch won by just being consistent. He took home nine Nationwide trophies last season. But, he also finished in the top-five a series-leading 25 times.

“It doesn’t matter how quick you start,” Busch said. “You just

J. D. Gibbs (left), president of Joe Gibbs Racing, shakes hands with driver Kyle Busch as team owner Joe Gibbs watches during a stop on the NASCAR Media Tour in Concord on Monday. The team signed Busch to a longterm contract extension. need to be consistent. You run 12th, you run fifth, you run third – you need to be solid. And, what we’re all about is being solid.”

And, solid isn’t what Busch was about last season. Even with four wins, he failed to qualify for the Chase for the Championship by eight points in a continuation of a downward trend that started when he bombed in the 2008 Chase after winning eight races.

Busch failing to make the Chase and the struggles of the No. 18 Toyota was one of the biggest surprises of the season.

“It was humbling for him and the whole race team,” team president J.D. Gibbs said. “We thought it was a gimmie that we were going to make the Chase with that team. It was very humiliating.”

The decline led team owner Joe Gibbs and son J.D. to make a crew chief change, demoting Steve Addington and promoting Dave Rogers from the Nationwide Series. Addington is now

crew chief for Busch’s brother Kurt at Penske Racing.

“I didn’t make the call,” Kyle Busch said.” We were lacking a little on the performance side of things.”

Armed with a contract extension that the younger Gibbs described as multi-year on Monday, the younger Busch now focuses on returning to the Chase.

“Missing the Chase gives you motivation because you don’t want to be there again,” Busch said. “This year is about revamping our program and getting it where it needs to be, not only for JGR but also for Toyota. This team wants to win a championship and to do that we’ve got to be smarter.”

Smarter as in not trying to get back at a driver in a Cup race for something that happened the day before in a Nationwide race.

“It’s the personal battles with other drivers that screws me up sometimes,” Busch said. “Like

if I want to outdo somebody because of a Nationwide race the day before where somebody ran into me and I want to get him back, that the stuff that gets to me. I need to get that out of my system.”

He also wants to get away from playing second fiddle to Hendrick Motorsports and Jimmie Johnson, who is seeking a fifth straight championship.

Busch believes his team isn’t that far behind Hendrick, which also put Mark Martin and Jeff Gordon in the top three in points last season.

“Personnel-wise, we’re close,” Busch said. “Technologically speaking, we may be better. Where we are lacking is how to apply it.

We’ll see how it works out.”

CHARLOTTE (AP) – Larry Brown is an NBA junkie, so when he saw Tyreke Evans getting on a roll late in the third quarter he knew his Charlotte Bobcats could be in trouble, no matter how big their lead was.

Brown was right. It took some big plays

by Raymond Felton and some fortunate bounces late to prevent another stunning Sacramento Kings comeback in the Bobcats’ 105-103 victory on Monday.

It was Charlotte’s fifth straight win and eighth in a row at home. The Bobcats (20-19) are above .500 at the latest point in franchise history and moved into a threeway tie for fifth place in the Eastern Conference with idle Toronto and Miami.

But this one almost slipped away.

Less than a month after Sacramento rallied from 35 points down to win in Chicago, the Kings cut a 24-point thirdquarter deficit to one behind their sensational rookie Evans, who scored a career-high 34 points.

Gerald Wallace shook off an ankle injury to score 28 points and Felton finished a rebound shy of a triple-double for the Bobcats, who led 82-58 with 4 minutes left in the third quarter.

Evans scored 14 points in the fourth and added seven assists, but the Kings lost their fourth straight.

“I don’t know how you could ask anything more from Tyreke,” Kings coach Paul Westphal said. “Every minute he was out there he was dominant.”

Evans’ fadeaway with 4:51 left completed a 32-9 run and got the Kings within 9190. After Wallace returned after twisting his left ankle earlier in the fourth quarter, Charlotte built the lead to five before Evans’ three-point play cut it to 100-98.

The Kings then missed three straight shots that would’ve tied the game before Felton’s runner put the Bobcats ahead 102-98 with 1:01 left.

Evans scored again in traffic, but Felton hit two free throws with 20.7 seconds left. After Sacramento’s Beno Udrih made a 3-pointer to cut the lead to one, Charlotte’s Flip Murray was fouled with 1 second left.

He hit the first shot, missed the second and teammate Boris Diaw grabbed the rebound to preserve the victory.

Felton had 17 points, 10 assists and nine rebounds. Stephen Jackson was held to 11 points on 4-of-13 shooting.

TOP SCORES

very season, members of the 1972 Miami Dolphins’ undefeated squad get together for a toast after the final NFL unbeaten team suffers its first regular-season loss.

It’s become an annual tradition.

No such ritual exists in ACC men’s basketball.

But if the 1999 Duke Blue Devils so desired, they could soon gather to celebrate their 1999 perfect ACC regular season.

Those Blue Devils became the eighth in ACC history to post an undefeated regular season. Duke went 16-0 that season, then won

three more games in the ACC Tournament to complete a 19-0 run through the conference.

The ‘99 Devils did not match the ‘72 Dolphins perfect season, however. Duke finished 37-2 and lost to UConn in the national title game.

No team has matched Duke’s ACC regular season feat since, and a loss by Virginia – the sole remaining unbeaten – will ensure that no ACC team goes unblemished in conference play this season.

I doubt we’ll see very many teams go 16-0 through ACC play in the coming years. Parity has become much more common in the

ACC, and it’s really difficult to manage an 8-0 road record in this conference.

So perhaps Elton Brand, Trajan Langdon, Nate James, Chris Carrawell, Will Avery, Shane Battier, Corey Maggette, Chris Burgess and the gang should consider copying the ‘72 Dolphins if no ACC team matches their undefeated regular season in the near future.

It could turn into a tradition that stands the test of time.

Jerry Stackhouse will join the Bucks when they return to Milwaukee and may see action in their next game on Wednesday.

The Bucks signed Stackhouse for the rest of this season Monday, and coach Scott Skiles says the 14-year veteran will be activated for Wednesday’s game against Toronto.

The Bucks are in need of a scoring threat after guard Michael Redd suffered a season-ending knee injury last Sunday. Milwaukee played Houston on Monday to finish a six-game road trip.

“We’re not signing him to be on the inactive list,” Skiles said.

“We’ll activate him right away and get him in a game. That’s our plan.”

The 35-yearold Stackhouse, who starred at the University of North Carolina, played in only 10 games for Dallas last season. He was traded to Memphis in July, then became an unrestricted free agent the next day.

Robinson returns to defend slam dunk title NEW YORK (AP) — Defending champion Nate Robinson will return to the slam dunk contest, trying to become the first three-time winner.

The Knicks guard will be joined by Charlotte’s Gerald Wallace and Lakers guard Shannon Brown. The fourth contestant will be determined by a dunk-off during halftime of the rookie game between the Clippers’ Eric Gordon and Toronto rookie DeMar DeRozan.

It was a somewhat disappointing field announced Monday, since it didn’t include LeBron James, who said during last year’s event he was considering taking part Feb. 13 in Dallas.

The 5-foot-9 Robinson won his first title in 2006 and claimed it again last year, leaping over Dwight Howard for one dunk en route to beating the 2008 champion.

Players, clubs rush to settle in arbitration

NEW YORK (AP) — Players and clubs rushed to settle salary arbitration cases before the scheduled exchange of figures Tuesday.

At least eight more players reached agreements Monday, leaving 114 set to swap salaries among the 128 who filed for arbitration last Friday. Dozens more were expected to settle late Monday night and Tuesday morning.

Florida struck one-year deals with second baseman Dan Uggla ($7.8 million) and pitchers Anibal Sanchez ($1.25 million) and Renyel Pinto ($1,075,000).

The frugal Marlins, under pressure from the players’ association, agreed last week to increase their payroll from last year’s $37.5 million, the major league low. Two days later, they agreed to a $39 million, four-year contract with pitcher Josh Johnson, a deal the team still has not officially announced.

Uggla hit .243 with a Marlins-high 31 homers and 90 RBIs last year. He defeated Florida in arbitration last winter, when he was awarded a salary of $5.35 million rather than the team’s offer of $4.4 million.

Also agreeing to one-year contracts were Texas pitcher C.J. Wilson ($3.1 million), Milwaukee outfielder Jody Gerut ($2 million), Chicago White Sox pitcher Tony Pena ($1.2 million), Toronto pitcher Shaun Marcum ($850,000) and Cincinnati pitcher Jared Burton ($810,000).

The New York Yankees reached agreements with pitchers Chad Gaudin ($2.95 million) and Boone Logan ($590,000), while Arizona settled with right-handed relievers Chad Qualls and Aaron Heilman.

Two-time NL Cy Young Award winner Tim Lincecum could have the most interesting arbitration case. He is 33-12 over the past two seasons for the San Francisco Giants and was a bargain at $650,000 last year. Eligible for arbitration for the first time as a so-called “Super 2” — a player in the top 17 percent of service time between two and three seasons — he is likely to file at well over $10 million.

Other notable players eligible for the first time include Tampa Bay pitcher Matt Garza, Texas outfielder Josh Hamilton and Tampa Bay outfielder B.J. Upton. Seattle pitcher Felix Hernandez could command a big deal after going 19-5 with a 2.49 ERA last season, when he finished second in AL Cy Young voting.

Among free agents, Jerry Hairston Jr. agreed to a $2,125,000, one-year deal with the Padres, two days after San Diego reacquired Hairston’s younger brother, Scott, in a trade with Oakland. The Pittsburgh Pirates finalized a $1.35 million, one-year contract with reliever Brendan Donnelly.

Stewart-Haas move could boost Labonteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team

BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

CONCORD â&#x20AC;&#x201C; An effort by Stewart-Haas Racing to gain more depth and talent among its pit crews could benefit Bobby Labonte and his TRG Motorsports team.

Stewart-Haas, which fields the cars driven by owner Tony Stewart and Ryan Newman, has hired a third pit crew, which will be used by TRG to pit Labonteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s car.

Stewart-Haas competition director Bobby Hutchens said

members of the new crew could sub on the Stewart and Newman crews if needed. Hutchens also said Stewart-Haas will have other reserve crewmen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any back up starting out last year as a new team,â&#x20AC;? Hutchens said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We tried to hire some A type guys who could be on the pit crew. We finally got the pieces of the puzzle put together and now the guys are getting reps going over the wall. Hopefully this will give us some depth if we have any issues on our cars and hopefully it will help Bobby on the 71 car.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;This gives us the luxury of having 15 guys weekly,â&#x20AC;? Hutchens said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If someone is out of work or a guy is in the shop finishing a car up, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have another guy to throw in there.â&#x20AC;?

CMS president Marcus Smith announced Monday the 300mile Nationwide Series race on the Saturday of Coca-Cola 600 weekend in May will now start at 2:30 p.m. instead of just past 8

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Antawn Jamison scored 21 of his 28 points after halftime, Caron Butler made two big baskets down the stretch and the Washington Wizards put together a rare winning streak Monday with a 97-92 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers.

Jamison was 3 for 10 from the field at halftime, but he shot 7 of 11 in the second half in a game that was close throughout. The victory gave the Wizards two wins in a row â&#x20AC;&#x201C; only the fourth time theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve accomplished that in a distressing season that includes last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guilty plea to a felony gun charge by threetime All-Star Gilbert Arenas.

Dukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nolan Smith (2) and Mason Plumlee react as Wake Forestâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chas McFarland (13) looks on during the first half of Sunday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game at Cameron Indoor Stadium.

The Blue Devils pulled away late for a 90-70 victory.

Plumlees power Duke DURHAM (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Mason Plumlee tumbled to the floor, too shaken up to try his free throws. So big brother Miles stepped in and knocked them down.

Dukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pair of Plumlees sure mustâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seemed interchangeable to Wake Forest.

Miles Plumlee had career highs of 19 points and 14 rebounds, Mason Plumlee added 11 points and the eighth-ranked Blue Devils pulled away late to beat the Demon Deacons 90-70 on Sunday night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That makes us a complete team,â&#x20AC;?

Miles Plumlee said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our perimeterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been there, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re always going to be there for us. Now that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got that real strong inside game, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not many people that can stop that.â&#x20AC;?

Kyle Singler added 21 points and 15 rebounds and Nolan Smith had 20 points for the Blue Devils (15-2, 3-1 Atlantic Coast Conference). They overcame a defense determined to stop leading scorer Jon Scheyer, broke the game open with 13 straight points midway through the second half and rolled to their 13th straight win at Cameron Indoor Stadium.

Al-Farouq Aminu had 22 points and 10 rebounds for the Demon Deacons (12-4, 2-2), who lost their 12th straight at Cameron and havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t won here since 1997, when Tim Duncan was still in school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We knew we had to concentrate on their â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Big Three,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? said guard Ishmael Smith, referring to Dukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trio of Singler, Scheyer and Smith. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But the Plumlee brothers got some offensive rebounds, and we got in trouble.â&#x20AC;?

The Plumlees combined for 23 points and 17 rebounds in the first half, and it was the first time they scored in double figures in the same game for the Blue Devils, who have won nine of 10. They remained perfect at home and 10 of their

11 victories here have come by at least 20 points. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought (Wake Forest) played winning basketball,â&#x20AC;? Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So when you win a game where the other team was in position to be deserving to win, it makes it a better win.â&#x20AC;?

Chas McFarland added 17 points and 10 rebounds for Wake Forest, which rallied from 12 points down early in the second half with a 17-5 run and tied it at 55 on Aminuâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dunk with 14:07 left.

Singler hit a 3-pointer 7 seconds later â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;the biggest shot of the game,â&#x20AC;? Krzyzewski said â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and Scheyer followed that with a three-point play.

Then came the sequence that put Duke squarely in charge: Mason Plumlee soared in for a dunk and Smith collided with him in mid-air, knocking to the floor the Blue Devilsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; freshman who said he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even remember drawing contact because â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was looking at the rim.â&#x20AC;?

Official Ray Natili called it an intentional foul, despite the Demon Deaconsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; protests. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt like I made the play, but the refs made the call,â&#x20AC;? Smith said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would never try to intentionally hurt anybody.

Hey, I came down pretty hard, too. But that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the turning point of the game.â&#x20AC;?

Miles Plumlee stepped in for his baby brother and hit both free throws, Lance Thomas added a jumper and Smith capped the burst with a 3 to make it 6855 with 11:47 left.

Ari Stewart added 14 points for Wake Forest, which took its only lead midway through the first half after Aminuâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s free throw capped an 11-2 spurt that put the Demon Deacons up 32-28 with 6:14 left.

The Blue Devils then closed the half by outscoring Wake Forest 18-6.

Cowboys bosses to players: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Keep it the way it isâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; IRVING, Texas (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Jerry Jones and Wade Phillips stood before the disappointed Dallas Cowboys on Monday and gave them some encouraging words to take into the offseason. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Keep it the way it is,â&#x20AC;? was how running back Tashard Choice described their message.

Jones and Phillips did not speak with reporters, but players shared the news â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a clear indication Jones plans to pick up the team option on Phillipsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; contract for

next season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It sounds like that Wade will be back, so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re definitely happy about that,â&#x20AC;? defensive captain Bradie James said.

Dallas is 34-17 (counting playoffs) in Phillipsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; tenure, having won the division twice in three years. Only the Colts, Patriots and Chargers have more wins in that span. This season, the Cowboys eliminated two major burdens by winning a playoff game and by having a winning record over the final month.

CLEMMONS â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Pageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s girls built a 29-10 halftime lead and held off Wesleyan Christian Academy for a 52-40 victory in the MLK Showcase hosted by Forsyth Country Day on Monday.

Valerie Beale paced

the Trojans with 17 points and four assists.

Christine Poole added eight points for WCA, while Courtney Brammer grabbed 12 rebounds and scored six points.

Wesleyan visits Forsyth Country Day to take on FCD on Friday.

MLK NORTH CAROLINA SCHOLASTIC CLASSIC GREENSBORO â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Forsyth Country Day edged Ragsdale 76-65 and Page slipped past Glenn 67-61 in boys basketball action in the eighth annual MLK Day North Carolina Scholastic Classic at the Greensboro Coliseum Special Events Center on Monday.

L.A. Williams led the Glenn boys (7-8) with 18 points. Harry Robinson added 14 for the Bobcat boys, who play at Northwest Guilford on Friday.

In other boys games Monday, it was Norfolk Christian (Va.) 73, Cannon School 46; Greensboro Day 84, Northwest Guilford 52; and Oak Hill (Va.) 87, Dudley 65.

Henin on track in Grand Slam comeback MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Justine Heninâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new, philosophical outlook on life and tennis comes with a few fringe benefits. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dining out more, for one thing.

The relentless intensity that characterized the diminutive Belgian as she won seven Grand Slam singles titles before retiring 20 months ago has given way to a more self-assured, open manner in her second coming to the game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a little less superstitious about the past,â&#x20AC;?

Henin said after her 6-4, 6-3 win over fellow Belgian Kirsten Flipkens to the Australian Open on Monday. Maria Sharapova, the last person to beat Henin at a major, played her first match here since winning the 2008 title on Monday, and recorded her earliest exit at a major in seven years when she lost 7-6 (4), 3-6, 6-4 to fellow Russian Maria Kirilenko.

Defending champion Rafael Nadal beat Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Peter Luczak 7-6 (0), 6-1, 6-4.

Downieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal lifts Lightning over Canes RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Steve Downie scored the goahead goal midway through the third period to help the Tampa Bay Lightning beat the Carolina Hurricanes 3-2 on Monday night.

Ryan Malone and Vincent Lecavalier also scored for the Lightning,

who snapped an eightgame road losing streak in the series. Matt Cullen had a goal in the second period for the Hurricanes, and Chad LaRose scored in the third in his first game back from a lower-body injury that had sidelined him for 17 games.

Palmer channels Arnie, charges to Sony title HONOLULU (AP) – The surname alone gets Ryan Palmer some attention when he tells people he plays golf for a living.

There are times when Palmer will play along and not bother to correct anyone who wonders if he is related to one of the biggest names in golf.

For a brief moment Sunday in the Sony Open, he showed flashes of Arnold Palmer.

First came the hard-charging chip, even if Palmer never meant to hit it that hard, which dramatically banged into the middle of the pin on the 18th green and settled inches away for a tap-in birdie. Then came the raw emotion, a smile he couldn’t contain as he fell backward to the ground in a mixture of shock and relief.

Moments later, when Robert Allenby failed to make a birdie putt from just inside 10 feet, Palmer had a one-shot victory and his immediate future looked as bright as the sun that shone down on the Waikiki shores all week.

“Lucky bounce,” said Palmer, who closed with a 4-under 66. “You need things like that to win.”

It wasn’t entirely luck.

Palmer and Allenby were tied over the final three holes at Waialae, and when Steve Stricker failed to make birdie from a bunker on the par-5 18th a few groups ahead of them, the Sony Open came down to who could birdie the final hole.

Both were in the right rough, not unusual on a dogleg left with the ocean breeze at their back. Palmer was counting on his ball to jump out of a good lie, yet his 5-iron came out soft and stopped 50 feet short in the fairway. Allenby had the same yardage as Saturday when he hit a 4-iron, this time he hit a 5-iron and it went even farther, over the green.

From there, he played a lofted pitch to just inside 10 feet.

When he hit his chip, Palmer expected the worst.

“I knew it was going to land too far,” Palmer said. “And I though, ’Oh, gosh.’

When I first hit, I could tell I just caught it thin enough where it was going to release a lot more. It bounced on the line and it went my way.”

It was a bitter loss for Allenby, although he could still see the big picture.

He wasn’t even sure he could play this week after spraining his right ankle on Monday when he stepped awkwardly off a curb.

No one came to Honolulu in better form. Allenby was trying to win his third consecutive tournament on his third different tour, a feat that was believed to have never been done. He stuck it out to the end, and had few regrets except for a 10-foot putt that turned away.

“It’s so easy to look back and say, ’I could have made that, I could have made that.’ At the end of the day,” Allenby said, “realistically I needed to make a birdie at the last.”

Allenby had to settle for par and a 67, and it could be a while before he gets another shot at history like that.

Palmer, who finished at 15-under 265 and earned $990,000, remained dazed at what he had achieved in the hour after hoisting the trophy and having a lei draped around his neck.

He last won in the Fall Series at the end of the 2008 season, which brought the 33-year-old Texan a two-year exemption. After dealing with a minor shoulder surgery in the offseason, he lost focus and finished 150th on the money list.

This was his final year of eligibility on the PGA Tour, and he was determined to the season started right.

Winning the Sony Open was beyond his expectations.

The victory makes him exempt on the PGA Tour through the 2012 season.

Ryan Palmer holds the trophy after winning the Sony Open golf tournament late Sunday in Honolulu. Palmer went from anxious to overwhelmed in the 50 feet his chip shot traveled on the final hole until it struck the pin and settled inches away, leading to a one-shot win. Palmer posted his third career PGA Tour victory.

China to expand smoking bans BEIJING – China is tightening smoking regulations to ban lighting up in any indoor public spaces in seven provincial capitals, the latest sign of rising health awareness in the world’s largest tobaccoconsuming nation.

The success of the effort may provide the best indicator yet as to whether broad efforts to restrict tobacco use can overcome stiff resistance from retailers and some local governments, which profit significantly from tobacco taxes.

Oil stays near $78 on demand doubts

Global recovery gains steam TOKYO (AP) — The head of the IMF said China and other developing Asian economies are leading a global recovery that is faster and stronger than expected, but warned that money rushing into emerging markets could lead to asset bubbles.

Dominique StraussKahn, the managing director of the International Monetary Fund, strongly suggested Monday that the IMF would raise its 2010 global growth forecast from the 3.1 percent it projected in October.

China, India and other emerging Asian economies were close to re-

turning to their pre-crisis growth rates, while rebounds in the U.S., Japan and other advanced economies remained “sluggish,” he said.

“The forecasts we’re going to release in a couple of days will show that this recovery is going faster and stronger than we expected” several months ago, Strauss-Kahn told reporters in Tokyo.

While the IMF doesn’t forecast a “double-dip,” or second recession, risks remain, he said. “We have to very cautious because this recovery remains very fragile.”

While hundreds of billions in stimulus spending

by governments around the world avoided another Great Depression, he said, the most important risk facing the global economy is deciding how and when to reverse those polices and deal with resulting debt burdens.

“Now we have to fix the consequences of the policy that has been put in place to fight against the crisis,” he said. “Finding the right time to implement exit policies is really a difficult one.”

“If you exit too late, you waste resources,” he said.

“If you exit too early, you have a risk of going back into recession.”

The best indicators for

timing fresh growth strategies are monitoring private demand and employment, he said.

The IMF recommends that governments devise policies that will support the labor market given still-high joblessness, which could lead to social unrest in some countries.

A key lesson from the global financial crisis is that authorities need to beef up supervision — more so than regulations — of financial institutions, he said.

“You may have the best regulations in the world, but if it’s not supervised correctly, it’s no use.”

Strauss-Kahan also said

Tyco buys Brink’s

NEW YORK – Oil prices hovered around $78 a barrel Monday as traders weighed doubts about global oil demand against a weaker U.S. dollar, which made crude cheaper for investors holding other currencies.

By midday in Europe, benchmark crude for February delivery was up 30 cents to $78.30 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

Recession takes toll on college pay NEW YORK – The recession has reached the executive suites of the nation’s public universities and colleges, putting a stop to a string of large annual pay increases for school presidents.

A survey released Monday by the Chronicle of Higher Education showed compensation packages of chief executives at public schools leveling off in 2008-2009, rising a relatively modest 2.3 percent. One in 10 saw their pay decline.

Some who did get raises or bonuses gave the money back to their schools.

American raises checked bag fees FORT WORTH, Texas – American Airlines said Monday it is raising its fees on checked bags for passengers buying tickets starting Feb. 1.

The company said it is raising the charge for the first checked bag to $25 from $20 on flights in the U.S., Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands. The fees apply to passengers on the company’s American Airlines, American Eagle and American Connection flights.

A second checked bag will cost $35, up from $30.

he was worried that the unified political will to tackle the crisis demonstrated at the Group of 20 summits last year will vanish as the world economy recovers.

The rush of money into major emerging markets such as China, Brazil and Russia reflects investors’ recognition that these economies are growing rapidly.

But Strauss-Kahn said this could lead to “many problems,” including asset bubbles and a sudden drop in foreign investment, much like Eastern European countries experienced during the global financial crisis.

What’s in a cigarette?

FDA wants to know RICHMOND, Va. (AP) – The Food and Drug Administration is working to lift the smokescreen clouding the ingredients used in cigarettes and other tobacco products.

In June, tobacco companies must tell the FDA their formulas for the first time, just as drugmakers have for decades. Manufacturers also will have to turn over any studies they’ve done on the effects of the ingredients.

It’s an early step for an agency just starting to

flex muscles granted by a new law that took effect last June that gives it broad power to regulate tobacco far beyond the warnings now on packs, short of banning it outright.

Companies have long acknowledged using cocoa, coffee, menthol and other additives to make tobacco taste better. The new information will help the FDA determine which ingredients might also make tobacco more harmful or addictive. It

will also use the data to develop standards for tobacco products and could ban some ingredients or combinations.

“Tobacco products today are really the only human-consumed product that we don’t know what’s in them,” said Lawrence R. Deyton, the director of the Food and Drug Administration’s new Center for Tobacco Products and a physician, told The Associated Press in a recent interview.

While the FDA must keep

much of the data confidential under trade-secret laws, it will publish a list of harmful and potentially harmful ingredients by June 2011.

Under the law, it must be listed by quantity in each brand.

Some tobacco companies have voluntarily listed product ingredients online in recent years but never with the specificity they must give the FDA, said Matt Myers, president of the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids.

Kraft nears deadline on Cadbury LONDON (AP) – Shareholders in British candy maker Cadbury PLC are looking for a fat increase in the hostile takeover bid by Kraft Foods Inc., as Kraft faces a Tuesday deadline for changes to its bid.

Cadbury shares moved

above 800 pence in Monday trading, indicating the market was looking for Kraft to jump to that level or higher. Kraft’s 10.5 billion pounds ($17.1 billion) offer now values the British chocolate and gum company at about 770 pence, an offer

which Cadbury dismisses as “derisory.”

David Cumming, head of U.K. equities at Cadbury shareholder Standard Life, said Monday that Kraft needs to aim above 900 pence to secure support from longterm shareholders.

Some analysts believe Cadbury could be had for 820 pence or maybe 850 pence, but Cumming said “that would not secure support from companies like ourselves.”

Standard Life holds about 1 percent of Cadbury shares.

NEW YORK (AP) – Diversified manufacturer Tyco International Ltd. says it has acquired home security provider Brink’s Home Security Holdings Inc. in a cashand-stock deal worth $2 billion.

Tyco is paying $42.50 per share for the Irving, Texas-based company.

That represents a premium of more than 35 percent over Brink’s stock, which closed Monday at $31.42.

Tyco, which is headquartered in Schaffhausen, Switzerland, says it will combine Brink’s, which operates as Broadview Security, with its own ADT security business. The deal has been unanimously approved by board members at both companies.

Automakers to start hiring MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

LOS ANGELES – Even as they finish closing plants from their worst sales year in decades, beleaguered automakers are also starting to hire again – almost 5,000 workers in the coming year.

The added jobs amount to just a fraction of the 40,000 that carmakers shed during their tailspin last year. But it is a sign that the big manufacturers expect business to improve this year. Significantly, several automakers are making investments in their lines of trucks as they anticipate an improved outlook for housing and construction.

Apple plans to show ‘latest creation’ NEW YORK (AP) – Apple Inc. is inviting reporters to an event next week to see what it calls “our latest creation.”

The company e-mail Monday offered no specifics about what it would display at the invitation-only Jan.

27 event in San Francisco.

But it comes amid speculation that Apple is close to unveiling a tablet-style touchscreen computer that is bigger than an iPhone but smaller than a standard laptop.

Tablets are one-piece computers with big screens

and no keyboards. Such devices have been around since the early 1990s, but haven’t seen much success in the mainstream.

An Apple spokesman declined to provide more details on its plans Monday afternoon.

Questions have been raised about whether the three detainees actually died by hanging themselves. cells and suggests the U.S. government is covering up details of what precisely happened in the hours before the deaths on the night of June 9, 2006.

The Justice Department said Monday that it had thoroughly reviewed the allegations and found no evidence of wrongdoing.

Harper’s reported that the deaths of the three detainees, or the events that led directly to their deaths, most likely occurred at a previously undisclosed facility a mile or so from the main Guantanamo Bay prison complex.

Harper’s based much of its account on interviews with several prison guards who said they knew of the existence of the “black” site and that they saw three detainees removed from Camp Delta several hours before the deaths were reported.

Massachusetts Senate candidates battle down to the wire

AP

Crime scene tape surrounds off a residence where five family members were found slain Sunday Jan. 17 in Bellville, Texas. Texas Rangers and crime scene technicians were on location collecting evidence Monday.

Man queried after 5 found dead in Texas home BELLVILLE, Texas (AP) – Authorities working to determine what spurred a flurry of gunshots that left five people dead in southeast Texas are questioning a 20-year-old man who lived with the victims in the isolated house surrounded by pasture land.

Police said Monday the victims of the weekend bloodshed all lived in the single-story brick home in Bellville, a town of about 4,000 people located 55 miles northwest of Houston.

They included a retiree and his wife, a younger woman and man, and a girl believed to be about 3 years old, police said.

Investigators were questioning a 20-year-old man, who remained jailed on burglary and attempted burglary charges after allegedly trying to break into a Bellville home.

The man – arrested about 3 a.m. Sunday after a homeowner pulled a gun on him – could face capital murder charges. Prosecutors are reviewing the case and could bring those charges. No one else is being sought and it does not appear any other people were involved in the shootings, Sheriff DeWayne Burger said.

Sgt. Paul Faircloth of the Austin County Sheriff’s Office said

authorities were still trying to determine a motive for the slayings. He said the sheriff’s office received a call Sunday afternoon from a person who had gone to the home and discovered the crime scene. Deputies arrived and found four bodies inside the home.

Those found inside the house were identified as George T. Washington, 69; his wife, Debra Washington, 54; Kiana Shree Thearse, 25; and Khalilah MasseChambers, about 3. A man found in the thick expanse of woods behind the house was identified as Cedric Thomas, 19.

FDA debates tougher cancer warning on tanning beds WASHINGTON (AP) – Just as millions head to tanning beds to prepare for spring break, the Food and Drug Administration will be debating how to toughen warnings that those sunlamps pose a cancer risk.

Yes, sunburns are

particularly dangerous.

But there’s increasing scientific consensus that there’s no such thing as a safe tan, either.

This is a message that Katie Donnar, 18, dismissed until a year ago when, preparing for the Miss Indiana pageant,

she discovered a growth on her leg – an earlystage melanoma, the most dangerous form of skin cancer.

She can’t prove tanning beds are to blame, but started using them as a sixth-grade cheerleader, says she stepped

under the bulbs about every other day during parts of high school, and at one point even owned one. No more.

Next comes the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which has long regulated tanning beds as “Class I devices.”

BOSTON (AP) – Nearly one year to the day after President Barack Obama was sworn into office as an agent of change, Massachusetts Senate candidates battled to the wire Monday in an election that threatened his agenda and reflected voters’ frustration with the status quo.

Democrat Martha Coakley and Republican Scott Brown scoured the state for votes on the eve of the special election Coakley to succeed the late Edward M. Kennedy, with the Democrats’ 60vote Senate supermajority at stake.

From a distance, the presiBrown dent made one last appeal in a TV ad for Coakley, his words reflecting how much was on the line for Democrats in the face of a surprisingly strong challenge by Republican Scott Brown in a state that hasn’t elected a Republican senator since 1972.

“Every vote matters, every voice matters,” Obama said in the ad that showed him campaigning with Coakley a day earlier. “We need you on Tuesday.”

Obama needs Coakley, the state’s attorney general, to win to deny Republicans the ability to block his initiatives – specifically the near-complete health care plan – with a filibuster-sustaining 41st Republican vote. A Coakley loss also would be an embarrassment, particularly because Obama has put so much political capital on the line.

A Suffolk University survey taken Saturday and Sunday shows Brown with double-digit leads in three counties.
