Guilford County leaders focus on school safety

BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TASERS

GUILFORD COUNTY – County leaders set their focus Wednesday on stun gun policies and the cost of school safety.

Several Guilford County Board of Education members don’t want school resource officers to carry stun guns and several county commissioners say paying $2.9 million for the 39 assigned officers may be too much.

“We decided to continue using the officers this year, but that will be discussed again during the budget talks,” Amos Quick, school board vice chairman, said during a special joint meeting in Greensboro.

Those talks will start next week when law enforcement chiefs from High Point, Greensboro and Guilford County Sheriff BJ Barnes’ office meet with the school board.

Incidents: Deputies have used stun guns at schools on four occasions in the past two years. A sheriff’s deputy used a Taser on a 15-year-old girl at Ragsdale High School last year after she threatened two faculty members and assaulted the officer, according to the Guilford County Sheriff’s office. Because the girl is a minor, authorities have not released her name.

Walter Gibson joined High Point University as the director of transportation.

Gibson will oversee all of the transportation that HPU provides, including student and employee shuttles, transportation to student activities and transportation on special-event weekends.

Charges filed against driver in fatal crash

BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – A High Point man faces charges in connection with a traffic accident that killed a woman and injured five others earlier this week.

Brandon Martene Black was driving a 1988 Chevrolet westbound on E. Green Drive that crossed the center line and struck a 1995 Ford driven by Tamika Sharese Burns just after 6 p.m.

Monday, according to High Point police.

Burns, 29, of Friddle Drive, was

taken to Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, where she died from her injuries.

Black, 21, of E. Green Drive, turned Black himself in to police Tuesday and was served with arrest warrants charging him with felony death by vehicle, five felonious counts of aggravated serious injury by vehicle and driving while impaired, according to police.

He was jailed under a $1 million bond.

According to a police accident report, the Ford was making a left turn out of a parking lot on to E. Green Drive when it was hit by the Chevrolet, which crossed into the Ford’s lane of travel near the intersection with Carter Street.

A witness reported that the Chevrolet “was traveling too fast,” and police estimated its speed at 55 mph at the time of the crash, the report stated. The speed limit on that stretch of E. Green Drive is 35 mph.

The momentum of the Chevrolet pushed the Ford into a utility pole, and the Chevrolet came to rest in

According to police, Black was carrying three passengers – a 23-year-old man, a 13-year-old girl and a 15-year-old girl, all of whom had been discharged from High Point Regional Hospital by Wednesday. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

Items being collected include bags of rice and dried beans, work or gardening gloves, surgical gloves, water containers of 1 gallon or larger and first aid kits.

“Once donations are deposited, volunteers will be needed to load and unload shuttle trucks. These trucks will come in a rotation to collect items and deliver them to a local warehouse where volunteers with experience packing and wrapping pallets will be needed,” the nonprofit agency reports.

A truck donated by Service By Air will drive to Miami and unload the supplies onto two ships from Friend Ships Unlimited, an organization that provides humanitarian and disaster aid to countries in need, according to the Volunteer Center.

HIGH POINT – Organizers of a free tax assistance program for low-income families are expecting one of their largest turnouts this year due to the economic recession.

The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program kicks off Feb. 1 in High Point and will be offered at four locations this year, including a new location at the Rosetta C. Baldwin Educational Center on Leonard Avenue and its three previous locations from last year. At least one location will be open every day of the week.

Johnn Marie Kruse, community resource specialist with the Community Development and Housing Department, said the location was added to serve more people who may have fallen victim to high unemployment rates and other economic factors.

“There’s no doubt,” she said about the city’s expectancy for more people to seek assistance from VITA. “With the economy the way it is, we expect more people are going to hit our qualifying income this year.”

A collaborative effort between the city and the United Way of Greater High Point, the program provides tax preparation assistance for individuals approved by the IRS’ standards. A single parent with three or more qualifying children that earns less than $43,279 or a married couple filing jointly with three or more qualifying children that earn less than $48,279 can receive an earned income tax credit of up to $5,657, Kruse said.

ATLANTA (AP) – A Georgia man has been found guilty of second degree child cruelty for slapping a crying 2-yearold at a Walmart.

Roger Stephens of Stone Mountain was convicted Tuesday in a Gwinnett County bench trial, which is held without a jury.

Stephens, who was

61 when arrested, will spend six months in jail followed by six months of home confinement.

Authorities say the girl and her mother were shopping on Aug. 31, when the toddler began crying. The police report says Stephens approached the mother and said, “If you don’t shut

that baby up, I will shut her up for you.”

Authorities say Stephens then slapped her four or five times.

According to police, Stephens said: “See, I told you I would shut her up.”

A call to Stephens’ court-appointed lawyer was not immediately returned.

Why is it necessary to move to a higher level of lethal weapon?”

Stun guns are safe when properly used in dangerous circumstances, Sheriff Barnes and High Point Police Chief Jim Fealy said during a panel discussion in High Point in September.

Barnes said stun guns are safer than pepper spray.

High Point police officers have yet to fire a stun gun at a student, said school board member Carlvena Foster of High Point.

“The officers know the students and their problems,” she said.

“I have confidence in the training of these officers,” said Commissioner John Parks of High Point.

The state pays just one third of the annual salaries and equipment costs for each school resource officer.

“It could be cheaper to hire security guards who don’t have a police car. All the SROs have police cars assigned to them,” said Board of Commissioners Chairman Skip Alston.

An N.C. State Highway Patrol officer attempts to maneuver around a chicken Tuesday to remove it from Interstate 85 near Lexington. The chicken had earlier been reported to be in the highway median, thus becoming a traffic hazard.

SC loses round in high court water fight with NC General Henry McMaster filed a lawsuit to stop a plan to allow two North Carolina cities to pump up to 10 million gallons a day from the Catawba and Yadkin river basins, both of which cross the state line with South Carolina.

The U.S. Supreme Court is hearing the case.

Appearing before the high court in October, attorneys for South Carolina challenged a decision by a special master appointed to help resolve the dispute that allowed Charlotte, Duke Energy and the Ca-

tawba River Water Supply Project into the case.

Duke, which has thousands of customers and operates 11 dams and reservoirs in both Carolinas, has argued its interests in the water aren’t encompassed by either state, a contention also made by the Catawba River Water Supply Project. Charlotte, which sits perched on the border of the two states, said it should be allowed in as a major stakeholder in Duke’s relicensing agreements. South Carolina’s attorneys said the water

should be meted out between the states, after which third parties can hash out shares with North Carolina.

In its ruling Wednesday, the court said that Duke Energy and the water supply company have a role to play in the court battle, but that North Carolina can represent Charlotte’s interests. “Charlotte has not carried its burden of showing a sufficient interest for intervention in this action,�

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) – The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that a water supply company and a major utility must be allowed to participate in the high court water fight between North Carolina and South Carolina but excluded the city of Charlotte, N.C., from playing a role.

HIGH POINT – When Wall Street financiers and other industrialists of the late 19th and early 20th centuries wanted to escape the world of the robber barons, they set their sights on verdant lands to the south that were teeming with quail and other game.

Among their favorite destinations were the lavish hunting lodges around High Point that served as their playgrounds. Local resident Penn Wood on Wednesday shared his research into the topic at a meeting of the High Point Museum Guild. Wood, vice president of the guild and a member of the museum’s board of directors, described how Piedmont quail hunting took off between 1870 and 1930. “There used to be a number of hunting lodges in and around the High Point area,� said Edith Brady, director of the museum. “It’s a big part of our history.�

Most of the sites are long since gone, but during the time of leaders like President Theodore Roosevelt – a “sporting man’s president� – many of the nation’s elite businessmen, bankers and other industrialists made the 17-hour train trip from New York to High Point for a stay at places like Fairview Park, the Thomasville Shooting Club or Cedar Lodge, according to Wood. “Field sports mushroomed into a national mania by the early 20th century,� he said. “Nowhere in the Gilded Age of field sports did field sports shine more brightly than the threecounty area (of which

High Point is part).�

Wood traced the history of the Thomasville Shooting Club, billed as the oldest hunting lodge in the south, and Cedar Lodge, established by chewing gum magnate Frank Fleer, south of Thomasville. The area’s largest shooting preserve was Fairview Park in what is now Trinity, built by William Gould Brokaw, a New York clothing manufacturer known as a “playboy� whose opulent ways “provoked the staid old Quakers� of the area.

The 4,000-acre preserve, which had hunting privileges on 30,000 surrounding acres, was stocked with pheasant to complement the indigenous quail. “No amount of effort was spared to find amusements for (Brokaw) and his guests,� Wood said. “He was well-liked in the community because of his generosity.�

The estate fell into disrepair by about 1915 and burned in 1936.

Other well-to-do industrialists who frequented local lodges included tobacco magnate Pierre Lorillard and Clarence MacKay, who built a lodge in the Jamestown area.

The influx of sportsmen to the area meant another type of recreation eventually became popular – field trials, where hunting dogs competed against one another. Wood said events like those put on by the Pointer Club of America, which began holding shows in High Point in 1915, were huge draws. “Hotels would be filled,� he said. “It was a boon for the local economy.�

Netanyahu demands presence in West Bank JERUSALEM – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Wednesday that Israel must have a presence in the West Bank to stop rockets from being imported even after a peace agreement is achieved – the first time such a demand has been spelled out.

He said the experience of rocket attacks from the Lebanese and Gaza borders means Israel must be able to prevent such weapons from being brought into any future Palestinian state in the West Bank.

Mexican prison brawl leaves 23 dead MEXICO CITY – Twenty-three inmates were killed Wednesday morning in a brawl between rival drug gangs at a northern Mexico penitentiary, officials said.

Prison spokeswoman Carla Puente said she did not know the reason for the fight at the facility housing 2,025 inmates in the city of Durango, and officials wouldn’t identify the gangs involved.

Dominican Republic reaches deal with Lobo SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic – The Dominican government said Wednesday that it has reached a deal with Honduras’ president-elect to offer ousted leader Manuel Zelaya safe passage to the Caribbean nation.

The agreement would let Zelaya, who is holed up in the Brazilian embassy in Tegucigalpa, fly to the Dominican Republic as a guest after Honduran President-elect Porfirio Lobo takes office on Jan. 27.

Morales deplores US ’occupation’ of Haiti LA PAZ, Bolivia – President Evo Morales said Wednesday that Bolivia would seek U.N. condemnation of what he called the U.S. military occupation of earthquake-stricken Haiti.

“The United States cannot use a natural disaster to militarily occupy Haiti,” he told reporters at the presidential palace.

“Haiti doesn’t need more blood,” Morales added, implying that the militarized U.S. humanitarian mission could lead to bloodshed.

The arid region is unused to heavy rains which cause flash floods that can destroy homes and carry off livestock.

Heavy wind and rains swept through parts of Egypt, Israel and Jordan on Monday, sweeping away homes, knocking out power lines and cutting roads.

The magnitude-5.9 jolt matched the strongest of the aftershocks that have followed the huge quake of Jan. 12 that devastated Haiti’s capital.

Scientists say Haiti can expect more aftershocks in coming weeks, and while the usual pattern suggests they will become weaker and less frequent, another one as strong as Wednesday’s jolt is certainly possible.

The new temblor collapsed seven buildings in Petit-Goave, the seaside town closest to the epicenter, according to Mike Morton of the U.N. Disaster Assessment and Coordination agency, but there

New political order tips against Obama to-do list WASHINGTON (AP) – Among the winners in the new political order: independent-minded voters and the upstart newcomers they favor.

Also on the rise: the few Republican moderates left in Congress, the tea party movement and, paradoxically, both legislative stalling and dealmaking.

Losers? Just have a glance at President Barack Obama’s swollen to-do list.

Instead of checking off his planned health care overhaul, climate legislation, energy priorities, judicial appointments and more, he might have to cross some off.

A compendium of winners and losers after Republican Scott Brown won the Massachusetts Senate seat of the late Ted Kennedy on Tuesday: AP

WINNER: REPUBLICAN MODERATES AND MAINE

U.S. Sen.-elect Scott Brown, R-Mass., addresses reporters during a news conference in Boston, Wednesday.

Maine moves closer to the center of the political universe, thanks to its two moderate Republican senators and their likely clout.

Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins are sure to be courted hard, if not on health care, then on other legislation. It’s a strong position to be in and one they know how to use to advantage.

Snowe was the only Republican senator to vote for any version of health

care legislation, but Democrats patched together the necessary 60 votes without her to move the bill along.

Now they’re short.

Obama might be able to salvage a health care overhaul of some sort.

It’s a big if. Beyond that, other big-ticket items are in jeopardy, and so are smaller ones. It’s difficult to see where he gets the political capital to fulfill

ing but cotton-candy words on both sides. Democrats assembled their health care plan and brought it to the brink of becoming law without Republican support. Now the two parties have to eat their veggies and engage for anything meaningful to get done.

Still, the threat of filibuster looms over everyWINNER: BIPARTISANSHIP, thing. With all 41 members on board, Senate THE FORCE-FED KIND Until now, odes to bipar- Republicans can delay tisanship have been noth- most things to death.

UN warming report riddled with errors in one section WASHINGTON (AP) – Five glaring errors were discovered in one paragraph of the world’s most authoritative report on global warming, forcing the Nobel Prizewinning panel of climate scientists who wrote it to apologize and promise to be more careful.

The errors are in a 2007 report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a U.N.affiliated body. All the mistakes appear in a subsection that suggests glaciers in the Himala-

yas could melt away by the year 2035 – hundreds of years earlier than the data actually indicates.

The year 2350 apparently was transposed as 2035.

The climate panel and even the scientist who publicized the errors said they are not significant in comparison to the entire report, nor were they intentional.

And they do not negate the fact that worldwide, glaciers are melting faster than ever.

But the mistakes open the door for more attacks

from climate change skeptics. “The credibility of the IPCC depends on the thoroughness with which its procedures are adhered to,� Yvo de Boer, head of the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change, told The Associated Press in an e-mail. “The procedures have been violated in this case. That must not be allowed to happen again because the credibility of climate change policy can only be based on credible science.�

WASHINGTON (AP) – With the launch of the decennial census just weeks away, nearly 1 in 5 people may not participate in the high-stakes head count, citing mostly a lack of interest but also a broader distrust of government.

A poll released Wednesday by the Pew Research Center highlights the challenges as the Census Bureau prepares to begin its tally in March. The findings come as some groups question whether the agency’s $300 million outreach effort is doing enough to reach hard-tocount communities. “The big picture message is they’ve got a lot of work to do in terms of informing people,� said Andrew Kohut, president of the Pew Research Center. He cited young people in particular, as well as those with less education and Hispanics who have had less exposure to the census or government.

Overall, 90 percent of those surveyed called the population count “very important� or “somewhat important� for the country.

ATLANTA (AP) – Tests of the first two oral drugs developed for treating multiple sclerosis show that both cut the frequency of relapses and may slow progression of the disease, but with side effects that could pose a tough decision for patients.

Two experts not involved in the studies said the drugs appear effective but with potentially dangerous side effects. It’s too soon to know if the pills will be approved by the government or widely adopted by physicians, they said.

About 2.5 million people around the world have multiple sclerosis, a neurological disease that can cause muscle tremors, paralysis and problems with speech, memory and concentration. The studies involve the most common form of the disease, in which people are well for a while and then suffer periodic relapses.

Current treatments can reduce the duration and severity of symptoms but require daily or regular shots or infusions.

The new studies tested two types of pills. Cladribine, made by Merck Serono, is already sold to treat a rare blood cancer.

For MS, it would be taken eight to 10 days a year.

Fingolimod is a daily MS pill being developed by Novartis.

The research found that patients on the pills were about half as likely to suffer relapses of symptoms.

OUR MISSION

Founded in 1885

Commissioners chairman and members representing the greater High Point area:

OUR VIEW

ertainly the news from the North Carolina Justice Center that there has been little improvement in the achievement gap in North Carolina public schools over the last decade is disheartening.

The North Carolina Justice Center, a nonprofit advocacy group for the poor, studied how students performed on various achievement tests and, beginning with a 30 percent gap between white students and African-American, Hispanic and Native American students in 200001, determined that the gap actually increased to 33.1 percent by 2008-09.

That’s especially disheartening because, the Justice Center says, “North Carolina officials vowed they would close or significantly narrow the racial achievement gap by the year 2010.”

Thankfully, Guilford County Schools has made better progress. Latest results show that the testing gap between white and African-American students has narrowed – from a 37.1 percentage gap for reading and a 29.3 percentage gap for math in 2007-08 to a 33.1 percentage gap for reading and a 22.6 percentage gap for math in 2008-09.

GCS Superintendent Mo Green insists, “To eliminate this gap completely, we need to accelerate academic growth even faster.” A GCS goal is for 81 percent of students to show proficiency on End of Grade reading tests and 88 percent of students to be proficient on EOG math tests by 2012.

The gap in average SAT scores has remained consistent over the last 10 years as well. In 2001, the average score for white students was 206 points higher than for African-American students and 150 points higher than for Native American students. In 2009, the average score for white students was 208 points higher than for African-American students and 150 points higher than for Native American students.

North Carolinians should be ashamed that the achievement gap hasn’t narrowed significantly over the last 10 years.

As Stephen Jackson, a Justice Center policy analyst, noted, “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.”

We definitely need to make closing the gaps a top priority, with deeds as well as words.

An independent newspaper

Some conservatives seem to have an absence of conscience

A

s babies were being pulled, crushed and broken, from the rubble.

As people lay writhing on cardboard mats, gashed and moaning under the sun.

As families placed their loved ones out at the curb for pick-up, like garbage.

As Haiti reeled and staggered and the rest of the world rushed to the aid of a humble, beleaguered people, two icons of American conservatism reared up last week and offered analyses of the earthquake that has devastated the impoverished island nation. The Rev. Pat Robertson opined on his program, “The 700 Club,” that Haiti’s woes stem from the fact that it made a deal with the devil two centuries ago and now is “cursed.” Rush Limbaugh suggested the relief effort would “play right into” President Obama’s hands, allowing him to appear “humanitarian, compassionate” and thus, “burnish” his standing within the AfricanAmerican community.

It left me wondering, just for the briefest of seconds, whether conservatism has a conscience, whether conservatism has a soul.

Yes, you’re right. It is a fundamentally unfair question, if only because conservatives like columnist Kathleen Parker and TV personality Elisabeth Hasselbeck of “The View” promptly took the men to task.

And yet, by the same token: this is hardly the first time this has happened. To the contrary, it has become routine that after disasters both natural and human, icons of conservatism spout hateful, hurtful, cynical words, words that belittle the victims and trivialize the suffering.

As in Neal Boortz blaming the tragedy of Hurricane Katrina on the “worthless parasites” who lived in New Orleans.

As in Michael Savage reportedly saying the United States should not send “one nickel” of aid to South Asia when a tsunami killed 226,000 people because it is “a hotbed of radical Islam.”

As in Jerry Falwell blaming the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks that took 3,000 lives on gays, feminism, abortion and the ACLU. And if it is unfair to question conservatism’s possession of conscience and soul, perhaps one can be forgiven for simply wondering what is

this weird reflex, this bizarre tic, that seems to repeatedly compel its most high-profile adherents to victimize victims. Social conservatives – we know this, because they tell us repeatedly– are righteous people, people gifted with a higher morality OPINION than the ordinary run of human beings.

Leonard But one sees little of that greatPitts heartedness in the aftermath of ■■■ tragedy. Great-heartedness, after all, would include compassion for people suffering and bereft – and “preclude” ad hominem assaults on the vulnerable and helpless.

Apparently, some of us are so estranged from their very humanity, so besotted with their own righteousness, so deeply, damnably smug, self-centered, small and mean, that there is nothing – not the wail of orphan children, not the stink of rotting flesh, not death tolls that stagger imagining – they will not reduce to cheap morality plays to further their cultural and political agendas.

Tens of thousands of people are dead in the poorest place in the western hemisphere and the preacher asks: How can that be used to buttress my vision of a vengeful, angry God? Relief is being rushed to the island as fast as humanly possible and the bloviator wonders: how can that be used to belittle Barack Obama?

Apparently, there’s never a timeout, never a pause button, never a moment when they remember to simply behave like human beings.

A human being, faced with calamity on this scale, says, oh, my God. A human being says, those poor people. A human being says, what can I do to help?

But the Limbaughs and Robertsons of the world say some variation of, God hates you.

Or, you had it coming. They call that conservative.

I call it obscene.

e all have seen the images of the terrible ongoing tragedy for the people of Haiti following the earthquake of Jan. 12. Many of you immediately made a financial contribution to the American Red Cross International Disaster Relief Fund. The American Red Cross is part of the greater International Red Cross Movement and each Red Cross society from around the world is supporting this relief effort in its own way with its own strengths.

We, the leadership of your local Red Cross chapter, wanted to take the opportunity to express our appreciation and provide an early report on what the Red Cross is accomplishing with your support. You have reached out to help through us and your support is getting to Haiti. We are making progress. As of Tuesday, we can report the following: • More than 400 Red Cross workers from around the world are working with thousands of local volunteers – these workers are part of a special team of international disaster relief workers already trained to manage extreme relief efforts such as this. We are not recruiting volunteers to go to Haiti.

• Red Cross workers are delivering basic supplies to people gathering in camps near Croix Deprez.

• First Aid posts have been set up in the streets, outside the damaged American Red Cross office where volunteers from Haiti and other countries are working side-by-side.

• The American Red Cross provided blood and blood products to the U.S. Naval Air Station in Jacksonville, Florida. Requested by the U.S. Navy, the blood was shipped to their facilities at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba in support of medical evacuees from Haiti. • • In addition, the American Red Cross has sent a shipment of blood products to the UN Mission in Haiti.

• We are providing supplies and equipment and are beginning to establish “tent cities” for an initial 20,000 families.

• Over the weekend, planes and trucks carrying Red Cross humanitarian assistance arrived in the region, delivering a field hospital and other needed materials. Three more shipments arrived Monday and Tuesday in the Dominican Republic before trucking into Haiti.

• The Red Cross is training Creolespeaking volunteers who will work as

first met Christina Prentzas at a High Point City Council meeting during which the Market Overlay District was discussed. She is one of a growing brigade of sleuths on the case of how to revitalize downtown High Point. “We need people downtown for businesses to succeed,” Christina said before the City Council.

Having grown up in High Point, Christina remembers helping her dad, James Nicopoulos, founder of Jimmy’s Pizza, in his downtown restaurants including The Nugget House and Steve’s Pizza House. She remembers a downtown Tobias Clothing Store, Richardson’s Department Store, Belk, Sample Shoe Store, Kiddy Corner, Saturday movies at Center Theatre, Nash and Camel Pawn Shops and a billiards she wasn’t allowed to enter.

“We are the Furniture Capital of the world. We should have the prettiest downtown anywhere,” Christina reasoned with charming incredulity.

Though some may lament the recent defeat of the Market Overlay District (it was defeated unanimously to resounding audience applause), attracting a flock of local energized individuals like Christina is one of its silver linings.

At one point during deliberations, Councilman John Faircloth asked if any interested business owners were present to speak in favor of the Market Overlay District. Tellingly, no one raised their hand. It was confirmation of Christina’s plea for people.

On closer examination, however, people are not as sparse as they seem.

Some 25,000 cars daily pass through our downtown on Main Street. We have in excess of 10 million square feet of space in showrooms alone.

Even financially, through some combination of federal and local money, we’ve invested $6.2 million in renovating the Train Depot, $10 million in burying downtown power lines and another estimated $11.3 million to

translators on the USNS Comfort when Haitians will be brought on board for medical care.

• We are delivering clean drinking water to survivors gathering in six different communities. Latrines have also been built to help address sanitation issues.

• The Red Cross is treating crush-injuries and triaging people for surgery outside a hospital in downtown Portau-Prince. Two additional Red Cross hospitals and three health outreach teams are now operational.

As of Sunday morning, more than 22,000 people had registered with a special Red Cross Web site to help people search for their loved ones. People trying to reconnect with family members can visit www.icrc/familylinks.org. People in Haiti are registering to let their loved ones know they are safe and well.

The American Red Cross does these things as part of our humanitarian mission, but we can only do these things because of your generosity. You can still help by making a donation. Visit redcross.org. Call 800-REDCROSS. Text the word “Haiti” to cell number 90999. Or mail a donation to your local Red Cross office. All of these donations will go to our International Disaster Relief Fund.

Designations specifically to the Haiti Earthquake relief effort will be honored.

Please know that we appreciate the offers of donated goods, but we cannot put them to good use. Donated items actually cost more to handle than it is to purchase new items from national suppliers, in bulk, already palletized and delivered directly to our military partners for shipment by air or sea. Please give your collected items to a local charity that can put them to efficient use.

At the same time, please remember there are also needs here at home.

Each week your local Red Cross chapter responds to emergencies here in our community. The United Way supports the Red Cross and many other non-profits here and also needs your help.

Through it all, we are uplifted and energized to carry on by the unfailing generosity of the American people.

You truly honor us with your trust and support.

build our downtown transportation terminal.

What’s lacking is not people, buildings or money, but cultural vitality – a sense that people care, they are excited, ready to invest, something is happening, imaginations are at work, I want to be part of this. High Point has that for the global furniture industry. It is sorely lacking for its own downtown.

The temptation at this point is to blame the city or businesses for not investing more. This would be a mistake. The city and existing businesses have invested plenty, but their capital has fallen largely on inhospitable soil, clearly demonstrating the limits of political and commercial will without resolute communal will.

Following are three suggestions for cultivating more hospitable soil downtown: 1. Focus on large-scale cultural events. They draw people, cost less than buying property and get people in the habit of coming downtown.

More importantly they prime the pump for future business investment.

2. Focus on existing pockets of vitality in the downtown area and build on them. High Point Theatre, High Point Arts Council and High Point Library are three prime large-scale examples.

3. Last, focus on détente, rapprochement, even forgiveness.

There is reccurring local sentiment outside the furniture industry that downtown does not belong to us or exist for us. Somebody else owns the heart of the city and they rent it out twice a year. Rightly or wrongly, this sense of rejection creates resentment that leads to apathy and stands as the unspoken backdrop to any attempt at downtown investment or revitalization. Without addressing this sentiment, downtown revitalization will be impossible. However, out of forgiveness flourishes new life and the melting away of old grievances. This is the road map to the future. Follow these three suggestions and High Point will have more than enough people to keep downtown hopping.

During a restitution hearing, Wayne County Judge David Groner had harsh words for the ex-mayor and convicted felon, calling his conduct “reprehensible� and accused him of showing “contempt� for Detroit.

Groner ruled Kilpatrick has to pay 30 percent of two $50,000 gifts paid to his wife, Carlita, and the couple’s three sons. He has 30 days to come up with that $19,500.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Senate Democrats on Wednesday proposed allowing the federal government to borrow an additional $1.9 trillion to pay its bills, a record increase that would permit the national debt to reach $14.3 trillion.

The unpopular legislation is needed to allow the federal government to issue bonds to fund programs and prevent a first-time default on obligations. It promises to be a challenging debate for Democrats, who, as the party in power, hold the responsibility for passing the legislation.

It’s hardly the debate Democrats want or need in the wake of Sen.-elect Scott Brown’s victory in Massachusetts. Arguing over the debt limit provides a forum for Republicans to blame Democrats for rising deficits and spiraling debt, even though responsibility for the government’s financial straits can be shared by both political parties.

Christopher Bryan Speight, a 39-year-old security guard, surrendered to police at daybreak Wednesday after leading authorities on an 18-hour manhunt following the shootings at a house in rural central Virginia where deputies found a mortally wounded man and seven bodies.

Murder suspect Christopher Speight is led out of State Police headquarters in Appomattox, Va., Wednesday.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Chastened by the Democratic Senate loss in Massachusetts, President Barack Obama and congressional allies signaled Wednesday they may try to scale back his sweeping health care overhaul in an effort to at least keep parts of it alive.

A simpler, less ambitious bill emerged as an alternative only hours after the loss of the party’s crucial 60th Senate seat

forced the Democrats to slow their all-out drive to pass Obama’s signature legislation despite fierce Republican opposition.

The White House is still hoping the House can pass the Senate bill in a quick strike, but Democrats are now considering other options.

No decisions have been made, lawmakers said, but they laid out a new approach that could still include these provisions:

limiting the ability of insurance companies to deny coverage to people with medical problems, allowing young adults to stay on their parents’ policies, helping small businesses and low-income people pay premiums and changing Medicare to encourage payment for quality care instead of sheer volume of services. The goal of trying to cover nearly all Americans would be put off.

Speight, who was jailed while awaiting charges, co-owned and lived in the home where some of the bodies were found.

CVB uses reserve funds

BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – The High Point Convention and Visitor’s Bureau has dipped into its reserve funds to prevent an unbalanced budget.

Chris Adams, chair of the bureau, announced at its monthly meeting Wednesday the organization would use $50,000 in reserve funds for the remainder of its fiscal 2009-2010 year.

The December finance report for the bureau, which included sales receipts from May to October, reflected a steady decline in the tourism industry. Sales for the bureau are down $105,850, or 15 percent, from the same time last year. It is funded by the hotel room occupancy tax.

Adams said the bureau was adjusting its budget to make up for the loss in several ways.

The bureau will not fill the fulltime position of Elaine Darr, visitors information center manager, when she retires in March, said Charlotte Young, president and CEO of the bureau. It also did not replace a sales manager who left the organization several months ago, ultimately cutting the staff from eight to six upon Darr’s retirement.

Treasurer Chris Greene said the bureau’s decision to cut funding for the Arts and Tourism Grants program this year from 15 percent of the bureau’s yearly revenue to 13 percent also had saved its budget from further decline.

Along with the CVB’s tax deficit, no leads were issued for the month of December as people seemed to be focusing on the holidays, said Marva Wells, sales manager for the bureau.

“December was a month where everybody isn’t talking about business, but they’re talking about Christmas,” she said.

“Things are beginning to pick up, but it is slower than it has been in the past.”

Wells said that the sporting market, usually robust in January in High Point, had taken a hit after several tournaments had been consolidated. phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

Asheboro Republican announces he will face Burr

BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

ASHEBORO – Sen. Richard Burr’s challenge in his re-election bid this year won’t just come from the other side of the political aisle.

Asheboro City Councilman Eddie Burks announced earlier this month he will challenge Burr, the first-term senator from Winston-Salem, in the Republican primary May 4. Three Democratic challengers already are campaigning for their party’s nomination in the Senate primary, with the party nominees to square off in the Nov. 2 general election.

Burks, who’s in his third year on the Asheboro council, said he wants to bring a fresh, conservative perspective to the nation’s capital.

“After testing the political waters across the state during the past few months, I believe that many citizens of North Carolina are ready for

a change in the U.S. Senate seat currently occupied by Richard Burr. Yes, I am a Republican and believe the conBurr servative platform of the GOP offers greater hope of restoring our nation than what we are seeing in the capital today,” Burks said in a statement announcing Burks his candidacy.

A small business owner who grew up in Randolph County, Burks said he would be more attentive to constituents than Burr.

“While I appreciate that Sen. Burr votes conservatively on most issues, it has been my observation that he is out of touch with the people who elected him,” Burks indicates on his campaign Web site.

DEADLINE

–

The filing period for candidates for this year’s elections takes place Feb. 8-26.

Party primaries are May 4, with the general election Nov. 2.

Among the issues that Burks highlights is greater attention to balancing the federal budget, free-market and liabilityreform approaches to health care and reducing federal taxes.

A primary challenger won’t significantly alter Burr’s campaign strategy this year, said Samantha Smith, spokeswoman for the Richard Burr Committee. It’s not unusual for an incumbent senator in North Carolina to face a primary challenger during elections in the past 30 years, she said. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

Trinity approves sewer project for furniture company

BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRINITY – The Trinity City Council on Tuesday night approved engineering services and grant administration agreements for a sewer project involving Trinity Furniture.

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 N.C. Industrial Development Fund.

With the city already having the three grants and the budget, City Manager Anne Bailie said last week the Trinity City Council now is at the point where it needs to secure a grant administrator and engineer. At the meeting Tuesday night, the council agreed to use the engineering services of Davis, Martin, Powell & Associates, while agreeing to use Stephen F. Austin as the grant administrator.

Jorge Lagueruela, owner of Trinity Furniture, has told the council his company would fund $310,000 of the project.

Lagueruela needs sewer because the lack of service prohibits the company from adding employees. While the Randolph

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

County Health Department limits Trinity Furniture to 55 to 60 workers, the company in November employed about 80, according to Lagueruela.

In 1984, Lagueruela and nextdoor neighbor John Kennedy invested $1,000 to establish Trinity Furniture. Harry Lane, Randolph County Economic Development Corp. existing business and industry coordinator, told the council last year that Trinity Furniture has grown to be a $13 million a year company. Trinity Furniture manufactures case goods and upholstered products for government buildings, military bases, universities and medical offices. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

OBITURIES, CAROLINAS, ABBY THE HIGH POINT ENTERPRISE THURSDAY, JANUARY 21, 2010 www.hpe.com

RALEIGH(AP) – The prime minister of Moldova visited North Carolina on Wednesday to extend its formal relationship with the state, with the leader of the former Soviet republic acknowledging the country’s desire for outside help as it seeks reform.

Prime Minister Vladimir Filat joined Lt. Gov. Walter Dalton in a signing ceremony for a third five-year bilateral agreement between the two governments.

“The Republic of Moldova is comprised of citizens that want to live freely in a democratic society and have a prosperous life,” Filat said through an interpreter in the Senate chamber of the Legislative Building in Raleigh. “In order to achieve these objectives the Republic of Moldova and its citizens need friends.”

The partnership agreement formalizes exchanges and other mutual assistance between the two governments through areas such as

commerce and education. Moldova, a landlocked country of 4.3 million people bordered by the Ukraine and Romania, became a democratic republic after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Filat became prime minister in September as the leader of a coalition of pro-Western parties that won a majority in Parliament and ended eight years of Communist Party rule. The coalition has said it would work to reform markets, guarantee media freedom and make the judicial system more independent.

“We have undergone a difficult period of time,” Filat said, but added that the link with North Carolina, which date backs to the mid-1990s, “is a relevant example of how these type of bonds and relationships should be built.”

The North Carolina National Guard participates with Moldova in exchanges between their military and civil

personnel to teach best practices with engineering and disaster relief response, guard spokesman Maj. Matt Handley said.

In September, dentists from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill joined dentists in Moldova to provide free dental care to children at a boarding school there.

North Carolina medical leaders also have worked with Moldovans in improving their hospice care programs, Secretary of State Elaine Marshall said.

“This is a new surge of energy” for the arrangement, said Marshall, who has visited Moldova at least five times. “It’s just a beautiful partnership with people helping people.”

Filat, whose visit to the Legislative Building was marked Friday by high security, is in the United States this week. He’ll meet U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Friday to accept a $262 million grant designed to improve the country’s economy.

Basnight denies involvement in pier work RALEIGH (AP) – Senate leader Marc Basnight says he had nothing to do with a family company helping rebuild a pier on the North Carolina Outer Banks.

Basnight Construction got subcontract work on turning the old Jennette’s Pier in Nags Head into a combina-

tion pier and museum operated by the North Carolina Aquarium Society.

Marc Basnight backed a House bill last year that would pay for the $25 million project from aquarium admission fees and outside sources.

Basnight was the com-

pany’s president for 30plus years but told reporters Wednesday he wasn’t involved for at least a decade and resigned last summer when he found out his cousin was interested in pier work.

Basnight said he didn’t want the perception that he would profit from the project.

Men find plenty to love in big, beautiful women

D

ear Abby: “Happy Being Me in Massachusetts” (Nov. 20) is a large girl whose mother told her “heavy women are not desirable.” Well, I was a size 18/20 and weighed more than 200 pounds when I met my husband while out with mutual friends.

He’s good-looking, smart, witty, affectionate and passionate. He’s everything a woman looks for in a life partner.

He had never dated a plus-size woman before, but he was smitten from the moment he saw me, and pursued me from the start because he thought I have a beautiful face and a great personality.

We have one child and another on the way, and he finds me as appealing now as he did the night we met.

No woman should ever “settle” for a partner, and “Happy” should not do so just because her mother thinks she’s “too heavy.”

That mother is trying to pass her low self-esteem issues along to her daughter, and I hope “Happy” is savvy enough to brush it off. Big girls can be sexy, too, because there’s nothing sexier than confidence. – Michelle in Michigan Dear Michelle: The letters of encouragement in support of “Happy” have far outweighed her mother’s negative stance.

RALEIGH (AP) – A North Carolina nonprofit will receive more than $28 million in federal stimulus funds to extend the state’s broadband Internet network by nearly 500 miles.

State and federal officials on Wednesday said the money would help Raleigh-based MCNC extend the broadband network in 37 southeastern and western counties. MCNC previously raised nearly $12 million in private matching funds.

The U.S. Commerce Department announced the grant Jan. 12 as part of a $63 million disbursement aimed at expanding broadband access in Massachusetts, Michigan and North Carolina.

The $787 billion economic stimulus program President Barack Obama signed into law last year included about $7 billion to expand access to and adoption of broadband services.

Dear Dr. Donohue: I had open-heart surgery for a triple bypass and valve repair. After surgery, my left arm was swollen and numb. The swelling has gone down, but the numbness remains. I can use my hand and fingers, but it feels like my arm is asleep. I also have developed an incisional hernia. I am told not to worry about it and that weight loss will help. I would appreciate your thoughts on my arm numbness and the hernia. – E.T.

During open-heart surgery, the chest is spread apart so the surgeon can do the delicate surgery without having to contend with chest structures obscuring the view. Sometimes, the chest spreading presses on nerves in the upper chest, nerves that serve the arm and hand. The pressure bruises the nerves and can lead to numbness. In time, the nerves should recover and the numbness goes. A small incisional hernia occurs when scar tissue from the incision doesn’t hold together perfectly. If it’s small and not bothersome, it can be watched without doing anything.

Murphy’s mom, husband: Drugs didn’t kill her

‘She had a fear of dying.’

Sharon Murphy Late actress’ mother tress died of natural causes, not drugs or an eating disorder.

Sharon Murphy and Simon Monjack said Tuesday that Murphy did not use drugs or alcohol and that they are awaiting a determination from coroner’s officials that will end speculation prescrip-

tion medicine caused Murphy’s death on Dec. 20 at age 32.

Monjack said some of the prescription medications found in the couple’s Hollywood Hills home belonged to him.

Murphy had mitral valve prolapse, a common condition where a heart valve does not properly close, but doctors said the actress “would live a long and healthy life,” Monjack said.

“She had a fear of dying,” Sharon Murphy said. “She would not take too much caffeine. She wouldn’t even have a glass of champagne on New Year’s. She was just high on life, and people see that as something else I guess.”

HALLMARK CHANNEL

Jessica Cauffiel and Brady Smith in scene from “Ice Dreams.”

egally Blonde’s’ Jessica Cauffiel and Brady Smith star with Emmy and Golden Globe winner Shelley Long and Emmy nominee Jerry Stiller in “Ice Dreams,” a Hallmark Channel original movie premiering Saturday.

After abandoning a dream years ago, it will take the dedication of an ambitious teenager to get an ex-Olympian back in the game in “Ice Dreams” airing at 9 p.m. The family film is about pursuing your dreams and keeping your edge sharpened.

When U.S. Olympian Amy Clayton’s (Cauffiel) father died trying to get his daughter to practice on time, it only seemed right to hang up her skates for good, even if it meant disappointing her mother, Harriet (Long). But the call of the run-down Mid City Ice Rink was too strong to ignore, and having worked out a deal with Skipper (Stiller) and the owner the

rink, Amy has continued to skate privately. When the owner passes away, he leaves the rink to his nephew, Tim King (Smith), who arrives to decide the property’s fate.

Having skated there for years as a kid, Tim knows what the rink means to the few who still frequent it, among them aspiring figure skater Nicky Laston (Noelle Bruno). But the offer from developers to buy the property is tempting, and with dwindling funds, Tim is finding it almost impossible to keep the rink open.

Meanwhile, Nicky and her mom find out that Amy is skating at Mid City, and convince the reluctant (and broke) ex-Olympian to coach Nicky. Although reluctant at first, Amy recognizes Nicky’s dedication and talent, and through coaching the ambitious young skater, she has the chance to reevaluate her own dreams, even the one she thought she had left behind.

TNT has renewed its critically acclaimed hit series “Men Of A Certain Age” for a second season.

The wry drama stars Emmy winner Ray Romano (“Everybody Loves Raymond”), Emmy winner Andre Braugher (“Homicide: Life on the Street,” TNT’s “Salem’s Lot”) and Golden Globe winner Scott Bakula (“Quantum Leap”). “Men Of A Certain Age” currently airs Mondays at 10 p.m. TNT has ordered 10 episodes for the second season.

The series explores the unique bonds of male friendship among three men approaching mid-life. The show focuses on Joe (Romano), a friendly, 40-something, slightly neurotic, recently separated father of two who had dreams of being a professional golfer but instead owns and runs a party store.

He has two best friends: Owen (Braugher), an overstressed husband and father who is a car salesman at his dad’s dealership; and Terry (Bakula), an offbeat, handsome, intelligent and still-struggling-to-make-it actor.

“Men Of A Certain Age,” from TNT Original Productions, was created by Romano and fellow “Everybody Loves Raymond” Emmy winner Mike Royce. They serve as executive producers, along with Rory Rosegarten and Cary Hoffman.

Through its first five episodes, the show is averaging 4.4 million viewers. The show’s Dec. 7 premiere ranked as ad-supported cable’s top new series launch of 2009 among households and adults 25-54.

The 2009 World Championships saw many fine deceptive plays, but none matched an effort by Pakistan’s Hasan Askari.

South played at six spades (the auction shown is conjectural), and Askari, West, led the king and another heart. Declarer ruffed and had options: He could embark on a crossruff – an attractive line since his trump spots were high – or he could try to set up his diamonds.

At Trick Three South led a club to the ace. He next cashed the ace of diamonds ... and Askari followed with the queen!

(He applied a falsecarding principle: “Play the card declarer will soon know you hold.”)

DAILY QUESTION

SURE THING

You hold: S K 9 8 7 6 H 10 8 6 D A C A K 10 2. Your partner opens one heart, you respond one spade and he rebids two hearts.

What do you say?

It then appeared to South that the crossruff was best – a sure thing if he could just get by with one more high club. So he tried to cash the king, and Askari ruffed for down one.

South might have ruffed a heart at Trick Five in order to lead the king of diamonds. If West ruffed, the crossruff would still be available. But credit Askari with an imaginative defense.

ANSWER: The hand has too much slam potential to settle for a raise to four hearts. If partner has useful cards such as the ace of spades and good trumps, and little wasted strength in diamonds, six hearts may be cold opposite A 3, A K 9 5 3 2, 8 7 6, 8 7. Bid three clubs and support the hearts next, implying slam interest.

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.

USA shakes up schedule under new strategy

BY DAVID BAUDER AP TELEVISION WRITER

PASADENA, Calif.

– Cable television’s toprated network, USA, is shaking things up a bit.

Starting this week, USA no longer airs any of its original dramas on Friday nights but started putting new shows at 10 p.m. on Tuesdays and Wednesdays that had previously been reserved for reruns of network shows like “NCIS.” The season premiere of “White Collar” on Tuesday started the new schedule. “Psych” will start next Wednesdays.

USA will be trading away a signature Friday night where shows like “Monk” thrived for several years, in favor of two nights when more people generally are watching television.

“We decided it was time to take some risks,” said Bonnie Hammer, the network’s chief executive. “Being complacent was never going to teach us anything.”

Hammer said she has a 16-year-old son who has asked her mom why “White Collar” was on Friday nights, saying his friends would otherwise watch the show.

Instead, they’re out. Or, like many adults, they’re catching up on what was recorded that week on DVR. Those are some reasons why the bigger broadcast networks have de-emphasized Fridays over the past few years. USA has used that to its advantage by offering some of its most popular programs that night as an alternative.

The struggles of corpo-

‘We’re always nervous that our operating profit could slide. I think it’s the nervousness and the worry that it won’t last forever that keeps us working so hard.’

Bonnie Hammer USA network’s chief executive rate sister NBC with the just-canceled “Jay Leno Show” also convinced USA that more people interested in drama series might be available at 10 p.m. on weeknights, Hammer said. Both companies are owned by NBC Universal.

USA also programs

original shows on Sundays, where “Law & Order: Criminal Intent” and “In Plain Sight” are most likely to land. The popular WWE professional wrestling airs on Mondays, and the original show “Burn Notice” will stay on Thursdays, with new episodes begin-

ning tonight.

The typical strategy for cable networks is to build on successes, not fiddle with them. Walking away from Friday nights could be a risky move for USA, said Marc Berman, a television analyst for Media Week Online.

“You don’t want to break up something that works,” Berman said.

“You want to accentuate what’s working.”

“White Collar” was also the first new show that USA has begun in the middle of the broadcast TV season. Usually cable networks try for months when broadcasters aren’t airing their own originals in order to get more attention.

USA, in other words, is starting to act like a broadcast network.

“We’re always nervous that we could lose the crown,” Hammer said.

“We’re always nervous that our operating profit could slide. I think it’s the nervousness and the worry that it won’t last forever that keeps us working so hard.”

Panther men hungry for home cookin’

BY STEVE HANF ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

HIGH POINT – Seeking consistency all season, High Point University’s men should emerge victorious tonight if the Panthers play up to their usual standards.

High Point enters tonight’s 7 o’clock tip at the Millis Center having lost two straight games in the Big South Conference.

But both came on the road, and the Panthers are one of just two league teams still perfect on their home court this winter.

“It’s not even about getting back home. We’re just eager to play a

game,” Panthers guard Eugene Harris said after scoring a careerhigh 25 points against Coastal Carolina on Saturday. “We let two opportunities slip away and we know we’re better than that.

Home or away, we’re ready to get back to doing what’s right.”

High Point (9-8, 4-3 Big South) led much of last Thursday’s game at Charleston Southern before falling 73-69. Two days later, the Panthers saw a hot Coastal team race to a 24-2 lead en route to a 75-58 victory.

Harris’ play proved to be the lone bright spot against the Chanticleers. The senior has knocked

down 3-pointers at a 46.5-percent clip in his last five games and will be counted upon heavily as the Panthers close January with four Big South games in 10 days.

VMI visits Saturday before HPU travels to UNC Asheville next Thursday and Gardner-Webb on Saturday, Jan. 30.

The Flames (9-10, 4-3) boast the conference’s second-best offense (73.4 ppg) yet have no players scoring more than 15 points each night.

And Liberty easily could be atop the league standings now if not for a three-point loss to Winthrop and four-point defeat vs. UNCA. New coach Dale Layer has a bal-

anced attack led by senior wing Kyle Ohman, who checks in at 14.8 points and 5.6 rebounds per game while ranking near the top of the team’s charts in steals and assists.

Sophomore guard Jesse Sanders stands 6-foot-3, 200 pounds and leads the team in assists, steals – and rebounds, remarkably enough, at 6.2 per game.

Freshman Evan Gordon is the Flames’ name player. The 6-2 guard from Indianapolis is the son of former Liberty great Eric Gordon Sr. and the younger brother of NBA phenom Eric Gordon Jr.

CONCORD – Dale Earnhardt Jr. talked enthusiastically at length Wednesday about having the most wins in a 25week online racing series against 249 other players.

When the subject turned toward his 2009 Cup season during the Charlotte Motor Speedway media tour stop at Hendrick Motorsports, Earnhardt wasn’t as willing to talk about going winless, missing the Chase for the Championship and running so badly that car owner Rick Hendrick opted for a crew chief change – removing Earnhardt’s cousin Tony Eury Jr. and plugging in team veteran Lance McGrew in an attempt to stop the bleeding.

“I hate talking about last year,” Earnhardt said. “It was miserable.

And I knew I would have to answer some questions about what we need to do to get better and what did last year make me feel like and all that. But that is how I ran. I have to own up to all that stuff.”

All that stuff includes just two finishes in the top five, a total of five finishes in the top 10, 146 laps led and an average finish of 23.2 .

Earnhardt did admit that his downslide began when he came in for a pit stop and missed his stall during the Daytona 500.

“Last year, I made a lot of mental mistakes,” Earnhardt said. “I don’t know what creates a situation like we had last year. The first four or five races I felt disoriented. I didn’t feel like I was sharp when I was missing my pit stall and sliding through my pit stall like we were at the beginning of the season.

It gave me a complex. ... When I was making those mistakes, it made

the process worse.”

He appeared to be turning the corner with finishes of third and ninth in late August under McGrew’s direction. Earnhardt never duplicated that over the last 12 races of the season while posting just one finish better than 17th.

Despite the poor finishes, Hendrick saw enough improvement to keep McGrew as crew chief.

Hendrick, McGrew and Alan Gustafson – crew chief of Mark Martin’s team located in the same building as Earnhardt’s – decided that the two teams should act as one unit much like those of Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon do.

“We looked at the business model and saw that they were two teams in the same building,” McGrew said. “What happened is there was one team and then they started the second and just kept adding crewmen for it.”

Hendrick said crewmen from both teams were required to reapply for jobs and McGrew and Gustafson put people where they thought they would fit the best.

“So now we have the same guy doing the same work on my car as he is doing on Mark’s car,” McGrew said.

Hendrick said the plan is to give Earnhardt a similar car to Martin, who won five races last season: “I want the cars to be so equal so that if we swap seats, the drivers feel they have the same car,” Hendrick said.

Despite the struggles, Earnhardt is ready for the season to start.

“I miss the race track,” Earnhardt said. “I miss the environment. I feel fortunate every year I get to go back. We made some changes and I feel pretty good about them. ... We have to rebound.” gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Wake Forest center Tony Woods celebrates from the bench during the Demon Deacons’ 82-69 win over North Carolina on Wednesday night at the Smith Center in Chapel Hill.

UNC can’t Wake up CHAPEL HILL (AP) – Freshman C.J. Harris scored a career-high 20 points and Wake Forest beat No. 24 North Carolina 82-69 on Wednesday night to send the Tar Heels to their first three-game losing streak under coach Roy Williams.

Ishmael Smith had 20 points, and AlFarouq Aminu added 13 points and 11 rebounds for the Demon Deacons (13-4, 3-2 Atlantic Coast Conference). They hit 56 percent of their 3-pointers and were 7 of 8 from long range in the second half of their first victory in Chapel Hill since 2003.

Will Graves scored 16 points to lead the Tar Heels (12-7, 1-3). The defending national champions, who have dropped four of five, were playing their first game since falling to No. 24 – their lowest ranking in The Associated Press Top 25 since 2006.

The losing streak is their longest since they dropped five in a row under Matt Doherty in 2002-03.

Harris had 13 points in the second half and fellow freshman Ari Stewart added 11 points for Wake Forest, which was coming off a 20-point loss three nights earlier at Duke but salvaged a split against its top instate rivals by winning its second straight against North Carolina.

The Heels made it a one-point game shortly after halftime before Wake’s firstyear guards fueled the 18-6 run that put the Demon Deacons in complete control.

Two key members of UNC’s front line were on the bench. Ed Davis sat out with a left ankle injury and 7-footer Tyler Zeller missed his third straight game with a stress fracture in his right foot.

BASKETBALL WAKE FOREST 82 N. CAROLINA 69

Eric Staal is taking over as captain of the Carolina Hurricanes, replacing veteran Rod Brind’Amour.

General manager Jim Rutherford said Wednesday the switch to the 25-year-old AllStar center comes as part of the team’s rebuilding process because “Eric is the player around whom the team will be structured.”

The Hurricanes, who reached the Eastern Conference finals last year, own an NHLworst 35 points.

Brind’Amour had been the captain since 2005 and led the team to its only Stanley Cup in 2006. Rutherford says the 39-yearold will take Staal’s spot as an alternate captain and will hold a leadership role.

HIT AND RUN eems like every year, a certain buzzword or catchphrase seems to emerge during NASCAR’s media tour.

This year, the recurring phrase used in opening remarks at press conferences with the teams is that NASCAR has listened to the fans and that is the reason that some rule changes will be announced at a NASCAR press conference today.

The changes expected to be revealed include the switch from the rear wing on the Car of Tomorrow to a spoiler much like that on the old generation car: That gives the COT a more traditional look and means more bump drafting and less enforcement of the yellow out-ofbounds rule will be prescribed for the restric-

Hendrick shifts gears with Earnhardt

BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

TOP SCORES

tor-plate races at Daytona and Talladega.

Call me cynical, but all the spin about rules changes for the fans just happens to come after NASCAR meetings with the drivers and the owners.

Call me cynical, but it’s probably not a coincidence that some drivers and team owners also have been sounding a common criticism of the television networks that carry races and other media for being critical of the quality of racing and some decisions by NASCAR. Call it the “blame the messenger defense” for the reason that television ratings have slumped instead of admitting that fans are bored by the lackluster show on the 1.5mile and 2-mile tracks wasn’t very thrilling

before the introduction of the COT. The drivers and team owners apparently also got a warning. “They didn’t say specifically don’t do this or that anymore,” Dale Earnhardt Jr. said. “But they showed us some examples of us being negative and then showed some direct examples of what it did to the ratings and it was very convincing.”

By putting on a happy face and regurgitating positive spin, NASCAR and its players might be able to fool some of the people some of the time. But, they can’t fool all of the people all of the time unless there is compelling racing to watch a majority of the time.

HiToms happy with Dorzweiler on bench

BY STEVE HANF ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

THOMASVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Tom Dorzweiler helped the Thomasville HiToms start strong in 2008.

Dorzweiler then guided the Coastal Plain League squad to a solid finish during a rocky 2009 campaign.

Now, he gets a shot at calling the shots from start to finish.

Wednesday, HiToms President Greg Suire announced that Dorzweiler will return this summer as the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manager. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Being more involved with getting the roster set, working with Greg and other coaches across the country in recruit-

ing players, it will give me an opportunity to get at it from the very start to see what we can do with it and make another run Dorzweiler to the title,â&#x20AC;? Dorzweiler said.

This summer will mark the coachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third at Finch Field. In 2008, Dorzweiler was hired to be the pitching coach for manager Matt McCay, but ended up as the de facto head coach for the first month of the season while McCayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s North Carolina squad reached the finals of the College World Series. The HiToms went on to win their third straight

CPL title that summer.

Last season, Dorzweiler stayed on under new manager Ray Greene. The HiToms endured their worst season in years, and Greene was asked to step down in July. Dorzweiler was named the interim manager and led the team to a 7-5 mark in its last 12 games â&#x20AC;&#x201C; just enough to qualify for the playoffs for a seventh straight season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I told the guys when it happened that I want this to be a breath of fresh air,â&#x20AC;? Dorzweiler recalled of the difficult situation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had some ballgames to win there at the end of the season and that was the key: The season just started over. We put it

years with Dale Ijamesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Kernersville Bulldogs in the Carolina-Virginia Collegiate League, but had an eye toward bigger things. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the main reasons I jumped at the opportunity when Coach McCay called me and wanted me to come aboard is because it was a great opportunity to take it to the next level,â&#x20AC;? said the 46-year-old coach, who works for Walker and Associates Inc., a telecom equipment distributor out of Welcome. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was hoping this would be something where I could move up in the ranks.â&#x20AC;? shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

Jackson, Bobcats bury Heat CHARLOTTE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Stephen Jackson scored 24 points, Gerald Wallace added 20 points and 10 rebounds, and the Charlotte Bobcats completed a 60 homestand with their most lopsided victory in team history, 104-65 over the listless Miami Heat on Wednesday.

The matchup to determine fifth place in the Eastern Conference was no matchup at all.

Shutting down a frustrated and foulplagued Dwyane Wade, the Bobcats (2119) improved to an NBA-best 9-1 since the start of the new year with ease. They shot a franchise-best 82 percent in the first quarter, led by 27 at halftime and by as many as 41 in the fourth quarter in their ninth straight home win.

Wade scored 16 points, but shot 3 for 12 and committed four fouls in the first half while being outplayed by Jackson.

The Heat (21-20), who had won three of four, shot 29 percent in giving up fifth place in the East. The 39-point victory topped Charlotteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 35-point rout of Toronto in November for the largest margin of victory for a 6-year-old franchise that has never seen this kind of success.

After routing Indiana on Tuesday, the Heat had looked forward to this game. Wade warned that Charlotte was the hottest team in the league, but Michael Beasley was more confident, telling reporters the Heat should win if they stayed focused.

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Justine Henin knows how it feels to waste match points and then lose to a fellow Grand Slam champion.

She wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t about to make the same mistakes Wednesday, particularly against a player who has long been a contender but hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite reached the pinnacle in the majors.

Only seven matches into her comeback, Henin held off fifth-ranked Elena Dementieva 7-5, 7-6 (6), winning the last three points of the tiebreaker

New York Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis looks on during Wednesday’s practice in Florham Park, N.J., as the Jets prepare to play the Colts in Sunday’s AFC title game.

Colts eager for rematch INDIANAPOLIS (AP) – Peyton Manning can’t wait to play all four quarters against the New York Jets in Sunday’s AFC Championship game.

The four-time MVP was one of many Colts starters pulled midway through the third quarter in their first meeting with the Jest last month.

But that isn’t likely to be the case in the rematch.

With the Colts trying to reach their second Super Bowl in four years, Manning will do whatever it takes to get back to Miami

– and his teammates can’t wait to get another shot at New York, which ruined Indy’s pursuit of a perfect season.

Colts cornerback Jerraud Powers sat out Wednesday’s practice with a foot injury, the only Colts player to miss the entire workout.

Coach Jim Caldwell has not said which foot Powers injured. Powers, a rookie, played Saturday night against Baltimore after missing Indy’s last three regular-season games because of a ham-

string injury. He started 12 of the Colts’ first 13 games this season.

Jets defensive end Shaun Ellis sat out practice because of a broken left hand but is expected to play Sunday.

Ellis broke the hand on the Jets’ first defensive play in their 17-14 victory at San Diego, but later returned with a cast wrapped up like a club.

Running back Thomas Jones and fullback Tony Richardson were held out of the first practice of the week to give them rest.

SUPER STADIUM IN MIAMI MIAMI – The Dolphins treat stadium names like quarterbacks, changing them often. Beginning this week, the team’s home is Sun Life Stadium.

A five-year naming rights agreement with Toronto-based Sun Life Financial was confirmed Wednesday. The deal is for at least $4 million a year and perhaps more, depending on postseason success for the Dolphins and Florida Marlins.

Roethlisberger was the first alternate for the AFC for the Patriots’ Tom Brady, who pulled out.

Chuck Amato facing cancer on tonsil RALEIGH (AP) – Former North Carolina State coach and Florida State assistant Chuck Amato will undergo treatment for cancer located on his tonsil.

Amato says he was diagnosed in December, but doctors detected it early and expect a full recovery. He wanted to

wait to tell retired Seminoles coach and longtime friend Bobby Bowden, but he issued a statement once news spread.

Amato says he’ll maintain his daily routine in hopes of being ready for another coaching job. Amato was not retained by new FSU coach Jimbo Fisher.

ith two victories and 17 topfive finishes in 278 starts as a driver in NASCAR’s top series, Ricky Craven certainly doesn’t have the numbers to be elected into NASCAR’s Hall of Fame in Charlotte.

He does, however, already own a spot in the facility.

The shrine to the sport that is due to open in May will contain a number of exhibits in addition to its main focal point, which is those who are voted into stock-car racing’s version of Cooperstown.

One of the exhibits will show clips of the 50 greatest finishes in NASCAR’s top three divisions. Craven was involved in one of the greatest when he edged Kurt Busch at Darlington in May 2003 by 0.002 seconds as they clanged together in the closest timed margin of victory in NASCAR history.

As participants in Charlotte Motor Speedway’s NASCAR media tour got a glimpse of the work-in-progress facility on Tuesday, there sat Craven’s car, the last Pontiac to win a Cup race – without the marks suffered in the rubbing with Busch – as the anchor of the closest-finishes section.

It was part of a section which will have displays on the early eras of the sport. Two cars already were on display: a 1936 Ford modified coupe driven by Louise Smith and a replication of one of the Chrysler 300s fielded by car owner Carl Kiekhaefer in the mid 1950s and was put together in Petty Garage – a car restoration business operated by Richard Petty in the old Petty Enterprises race shops in Level Cross.

Craven’s car will be on display because Craven offered it to the Hall.

Strangely enough, the offer was made at a Duke Energy stockholders meeting, where Craven ran into the Hall’s executive director Winston Kelley, who is a former Duke Energy executive.

“After I retired from racing in 2005, I had a list of things I wanted to do and one of them was to go to a stockholders meeting,” Craven said. “I went and when it was over, I didn’t know anyone and then I saw Winston. I brought up that I had the car. It had been cleaned up by my car owner, Cal Wells, and he gave it to me because it was my favorite car. I had it sitting under cover and I thought it needed to be in a place where people could see it.”

Kelley was ecstatic when Craven made his offer. There was one problem when he told the building’s designers where he wanted to put the car.

“They said there wasn’t enough room in that area,” Kelley said. “I asked them if they could change things to make room. They said they didn’t know. I told them I wasn’t make a suggestion, I was making a request.”

The space where those cars and glass-enclosed artifacts will be located is an area known as Heritage Speedway, which is the final attraction in the Hall of Fame.

The building and the landscaping outside are far from complete with a little less than four months to finish them. Hardhats and safety glasses were required attire to walk through the facility because exhibits are still under construction, drywall isn’t finished, handrails and seats haven’t been installed, and flooring hasn’t been laid.

The layout goes something like this: Patrons will come in the main entrance and go into a theater, where a 12-minute introductory movie will be shown on a screen 64-feet wide.

From there, they will go into a rotunda called the great hall, and then can go up an incline beside an area called glory road, which will replicate banking of 40 former and current tracks, SPORTS ranging from flat road courses to the 33 degrees Greer of the turns at Talladega.

Smith The stretch of simulated ■■■ asphalt will contain cars from the early days of the sport to the present.

The most notable car to be placed in that section will be a restored version of one of the Plymouths in which Richard Petty set the records of 10 straight victories and 27 wins in a season in 1967. Petty helped oversee the refurbishing of the car that Kelley says might be the most valuable piece in the hall.

Petty was particular about how the car was restored, according to Greg Steadman, one of the people who worked on the car at the Petty shop.

“He’d come in and look at it and then come back a couple of days later and would say, ‘We need to change this and this and this because that’s how they did it back then,’ ” Steadman said. “Whenever he thought of something, like where the seatbelts needed to be mounted or how the exhaust should be run, he would come and tell us. One time, he came by one Sunday night after coming back from a race because he had another suggestion.”

Glory road leads to the Hall of Honor, where there will be displays honoring those elected to the Hall.

Kelley said the location of the first enshrinement ceremony on May 23 is still being determined.

After the Hall of Honor is an area which will show what goes on during a typical race week, from preparing the cars to running the race itself.

That section includes one of Jimmie Johnson’s transporters. Kelley said the transporter was put into place with a crane and the building completed around it.

After leaving the race week display, patrons flow into Heritage Speedway.

The Hall is linked to the Charlotte Convention Center’s new Crown Ballroom, which can seat 2,400 for banquets and 4,200 for theatre seating.

Now able to tout a facility that size, Charlotte convention officials left Wednesday to make a bid for the Democratic Party’s 2012 national convention.

Buz McKim, the Hall of Fame’s historian who was charged with getting artifacts, said that he obtained 98 percent of what was on his wish list.

The one thing that he desires – a gold lifetime NASCAR membership card that NASCAR founder Bill France Sr. gave in the mid ’50s to Red Vogt, who prepared the cars in which Red Byron won the first championship in 1949 for what is now the Cup Series.

Craven is humbled that his car will be in the Hall.

“It was my way of just trying to say to the France family thank you for letting me do what I wanted to do,” Craven said. “I was just a kid who grew up on a farm in Newburgh, Maine, and drove everything in the yard when my parents weren’t home. NASCAR provided me the opportunity to race.

I’m just thankful that Cal gave me the car and I could contribute.” gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Darlington f inally lands truck race COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) – Chris Browning is hoping the return of NASCAR’s truck series to Darlington Raceway this summer will lead to a longer run than the last time.

Darlington officials announced Wednesday that the track would hold the “Too Tough To Tame” 200 on the night of Aug. 14. Set up, inspection, qualifying and the race will all take place that Saturday, Browning told The Associated Press.

“It’s going to be a neat deal,” said Browning, the president of the raceway.

Browning and his staff had sought to bring the truck series back to Darlington for several years, given the area’s long history of NASCAR racing and its love of pickups.

Darlington had initially tried to attach a truck race

to its Southern 500 show over Mother’s Day weekend. However, schedules had never worked out, Browning said.

Darlington got an opening when the truck series decided not to run at Milwaukee this year, and Browning pounced on the chance to light up the track for a second event.

“Number one, the competition is great. The guys are so hungry and they race so hard,” he said. “The other is that people in our area can really relate to trucks.”

Browning said that was the case in the early 2000s when the trucks rolled for four seasons at the egg-shaped oval. The late Bobby Hamilton won the truck race here in 2001 and 2003. Ted Musgrave won in 2002, and Sprint Cup star Kasey Kahne

was a rookie in 2004 when he took the checkered flag in Darlington’s first-ever night race.

“I think it will be awesome for the Truck Series to go back to Darlington,” said Ron Hornaday, last year’s series champion.

“Traditionally, Darlington has been one of those places that have close finishes which the truck series is known for. I’m excited to go there.”

Browning doesn’t see why the trucks can’t be a yearly happening. The date comes before the start of school – children 12 and under can attend for free – and before the region turns its attention to college football.

“If it all works out, we’d like to stay with that. It gives us another weekend to be running here,” Browning said.

CHARLOTTE (AP) — Bank of America Corp. said Wednesday it lost $5.2 billion during the final three months of 2009 as consumers struggled to make mortgage and credit card payments and the bank repaid its government bailout money.

Bank of America said its loss, which reflected the payment of preferred dividends, compared with a loss of $2.4 billion a year earlier. The bank, which was one of the hardest hit by the credit crisis and recession, said its results were boosted by strong

results from its Merrill Lynch investment banking operations that it acquired a year ago.

The report fell in line with those of JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Citigroup Inc., both of which had billions in losses from bad loans offset by investment banking income.

Wells Fargo & Co., which reported results Wednesday, posted a $394 million profit although it also had big loan losses during the fourth quarter.

The industry’s results

are a concern for economists and investors, who question whether the economy can have a sustained strong recovery if consumers are still defaulting on loans.

CEO Brian Moynihan echoed those concerns in a conference call with analysts, saying, “the financial crisis has taken its toll on our company in many ways during 2009.”

The bank said economic conditions remain fragile and the bank expects high unemployment levels to continue.

“We believe we can

anticipate positive job growth in 2010,” Moynihan added, “but even with that the number of unemployed will extend the drag on consumer spending and overall economic growth.”

Charlotte.-based Bank of America lost 60 cents per share during the fourth quarter, more than the 52 cents analysts were expecting, according to Thomson Reuters. Investors appeared little fazed; the bank’s stock was down 7 cents at $16.25 in late morning trading.

Home construction hit by bad weather WASHINGTON (AP) — The housing market remains a significant risk to the economy, data Wednesday showed, as bad weather across much of the country hammered the construction industry.

Along with icy storms, the real estate recovery is facing man-made headwinds. On Wednesday, the government said buyers will face higher fees and tougher standards for home loans backed by the Federal Housing Administration, a popular source of loans for first-

time buyers.

Unemployment is expected to remain high throughout the year, which will drive the foreclosure rate to new records.

“If we don’t get some jobs, it’s not going to make a difference,” said Rick Jenkins, owner of R.J. Builders in Terre Haute Ind. Construction of new homes and apartments fell 4 percent in December to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 557,000 from an upwardly revised 580,000 in No-

vember, the Commerce Department said. Applications for future projects, however, increased strongly as the industry ramps up for the spring selling season.

The results for new home construction were lower than the 580,000 forecast by economists surveyed by Thomson Reuters and were led by declines of 19 percent in the Northeast and Midwest. Construction fell 1 percent in the West, but rose more than 3 percent in the South.

Like homeowners,

builders are also having trouble getting loans. David Crowe, chief economist at the National Association of Home Builders, said the industry has seen financing for new projects dry up steadily over the past 18 months.

Applications for new building permits, a gauge of future activity, rose 11 percent to an annual rate of 653,000, a far stronger showing than economists had predicted and the highest level of activity since October 2008.

US Bancorp profit rises MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — U.S. Bancorp said on Wednesday that its fourth-quarter profit more than doubled from a year ago, as mortgage banking revenue grew.

The bank also benefited from growth in traditional deposits, giving it a cheap source of money for loans. Total average deposits rose 15.3 percent from a year ago to $36.4 billion. The company has raised what it pays depositors and is aiming to be about in the middle of the pack, after

being near the bottom in the past.

It still wrote off more bad loans during the quarter, and expects those write-offs will increase in this quarter as well, because of economic conditions and weak home prices.

Net loan charge-offs were $1.11 billion, up 6.6 percent from the third quarter. The amount set aside to cover bad loans rose $278 million to $5.26 billion, a smaller increase than in recent quarters.

Even businesses that have lines of credit already set up aren’t using them. They had borrowed just 30 percent of their credit limit, a new all-time low and down from 38 percent a year ago.

“The best indicator of loan demand is people who have it, can use it, it’s theirs if they want it, it’s a preferred rate, and they don’t,” Chairman and CEO Richard Davis said. “And until that starts to turn, that’s your best proxy for what

the real loan demand is out in the real world, and we’re not seeing it.”

In a hopeful sign, the bank said the percentage of consumer loans in the early stages of delinquency (running 30 to 89 days late) fell slightly compared to the third quarter, to 1.1 percent.

However, the percentage of commercial loans in the early stages of delinquency rose slightly to about 1 percent.

Its shares rose 51 cents, or 2.1 percent, to $25 in afternoon trading.

The world’s largest coffee chain says it earned $241.5 million, or 32 cents per share, for the three months that ended in late December. A year earlier, it earned $64.3

Starbucks’ sales rose 4 percent to $2.72 billion.

Stocks take hit on China concerns NEW YORK (AP) — The stock market posted its biggest drop in a month on concerns that tighter lending in China could endanger an economic recovery. Disappointing earnings from IBM and Morgan Stanley added to investors’ angst.

At the same time, a spike in the dollar pushed commodity prices sharply lower Wednesday, hurting stocks of energy companies and materials producers.

The Dow Jones industrial average fell 122 points from a 15-month high but ended well off its lows for the day. Demand for safe havens like government debt rose, pushing yields lower in the Treasury market.

Stocks have posted sharp swings since last week as

investors try to determine the overall direction of the market. The Dow fell 101 points Friday and jumped 116 Tuesday.

The latest slide came as concern grew that China’s efforts to cool its rapid growth could hurt a global recovery. A top banking regulator said Wednesday that China will increase monitoring of banks as it tries to prevent speculative bubbles in areas like real estate. Last week China took steps to restrict runaway lending.

The Dow fell 122.28, or 1.1 percent, to 10,603.15.

The Dow had been down as much as 208 points.

The broader S&P 500 index fell 12.19, or 1.1 percent, to 1,138.04, and the Nasdaq composite index fell 29.15, or 1.3 percent, to 2,291.25.

Uno’s chain files for bankruptcy BOSTON (AP) — Burdened by debt from a 2005 private equity takeover, the Uno pizzeria chain’s parent company filed for Chapter 11 protection Wednesday, with plans to give its lenders a controlling equity stake in exchange for debt.

Privately owned Uno Restaurant Holdings

Corp. said a majority of its bond holders had agreed to convert $142 million in senior secured debt into a 96 percent equity stake in the reorganized company. That conversion is part of a prearranged restructuring the company hopes a bankruptcy judge will approve.

Buffett: Recovery slow, uncertain

Morgan earns $617 million NEW YORK (AP) — Morgan Stanley said Wednesday it earned $617 million during the last three months of 2009 on profits from its investment banking and retail brokerage businesses.

The results gave Morgan Stanley its second straight profitable quarter following a year of losses. The bank earned 29 cents a share on $6.8 billion in revenue. That was less than analysts’ expectations of 36

cents on $7.8 billion in revenue, according to Thomson Reuters.

Investment banking, which makes up the bulk of Morgan Stanley’s business, has been one of the few healthy segments in the struggling financial industry. JPMorgan Chase & Co., Citigroup Inc. and Bank of America Corp. were able to use investment banking profits to offset losses from failed loans in recent quarters.

However, investors have faulted Morgan Stanley for not profiting enough from investment banking and the stock market’s big 2009 rally. The company has lagged industry leader Goldman Sachs Group Inc., which reports its fourth-quarter results on Thursday.

Investors were disappointed again Wednesday with the company’s fourthquarter results and sent its stock down 40 cents or 1.28 percent to $30.76.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Billionaire investor Warren Buffett says he’s still not sure when the economy will recover, but he expects the rebound to be slow because American consumers remain uneasy.

Buffett said Wednesday that he thinks the key to economic recovery will be getting money back into most people’s pockets. He says the government’s first stimulus plan didn’t do that very well.

Buffett says the economic hangover the country is experiencing now is directly proportional to the size of the financial binge in previous years.

Oil settles below $78 a barrel NEW YORK (AP) — Oil prices tumbled Wednesday, weighed down by a drop on Wall Street, a stronger dollar and signs that China’s energy needs might not be as robust as previously thought.

Benchmark crude for February delivery gave up $1.40 to settle at $77.62 a barrel on the last day of trading for the contract on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

Most of the trading already moved to the March contract, which also fell $1.58 to settle at $77.74 a barrel.

Crude prices dropped early in the day, slumping after reports from China that the government was taking more steps to discourage risky bank lending.
