Council OKs project density increase BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – The City Council has approved a request to allow an increase in the number of townhome units in a north High Point development. The council granted a request by Shadybrook Partners to amend a conditional use permit pertaining to the development and density standards for a portion of the Whitestone subdivision at Deep River and Willard roads.

The initial zoning approval for the project in 2005 allowed for a 169-unit mixed residential development on 33.3 acres. The amendment will allow developers to increase the number of allowable townhome units on 8.5 acres of the site from 43 to 50. The change allows larger grouping of units in a structure of up to six townhome units connected together. To date, 12 units have been constructed on the site. Up to 54 single-family units and 72 multifamily units can be built

on the site, in addition to the townhomes. The council also approved a minor amendment to a special use permit for High Point University that will allow a pedestrian access point to an overflow parking lot along Montlieu Avenue. The amendment allows for a gate to be installed in a fence near the intersection of Montlieu Avenue and North College Drive and a sidewalk that will connect the northern portion of the parking area to the existing sidewalk

along Montlieu. The new sidewalk will allow pedestrians to access a crosswalk at Montlieu and N. College. There is an existing pedestrian exit and crosswalk signal along the southern boundary of the parking lot. City staff recommended approval of the amendment after transportation officials determined the safety of pedestrians was adequately provided for. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

Furniture market attendance mirrors tourism’s decline. 1B BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – It may not be time to press the panic button yet, but businesses that thrive on tourism in High Point have watched the industry steadily decline for several years. From hotel managers to restaurant owners, those who welcome visitors to the city and rely on their business to survive are seeing fewer unfamiliar faces around town. “It’s sort of that perfect storm between the economy and jobless rates,” said Kevin Archer, general manager of the Courtyard Marriott on Mall Loop Road. “My concern is not being able to give my full-

Hotel managers and restaurant owners are seeing fewer unfamiliar faces. time associates their fulltime hours.” Archer said on average, the hotel sold seven less rooms per night in 2009 than it did in 2008. So far, the trend in 2010 has been selling about eight less rooms per night. The decline in High Point is apparent at other hotels through the city’s hotel room occupancy tax, which funds the High

Point Convention and Visitor’s Bureau. The room tax declined each month since the CVB’s fiscal year began in July. The CVB announced at its monthly meeting Wednesday that it would use $50,000 in reserve funds to prevent an unbalanced budget due to a 15 percent drop in year-todate sales. Charlotte Young, presi-

dent and CEO of the CVB, said the tourism industry took about four years to recover after the events of 9/11. A couple of years later came the recession, she said. “Habits are a hard thing to change, but when something drastic happens, you change your habits,” Young said. “I don’t think we’re going back to the patterns we had before.”

Young is optimistic, however, noting the CVB adjusted its hotel receipt projections from about $1.3 million at the beginning of the fiscal year to about $1 million to operate on a smaller budget. Upon the readjustment of the budget, the CVB also discovered it had awarded 16 percent of its revenue to the Arts and Tourism Grants program, which funds selected nonprofit events in the city, rather than the usual 15 percent. And if the economy ever settles, she said High Point still has one major advantage for visitors. “We believe our location has a lot to do with our future,” she said. “Being in the center of the state, there’s no extreme travel for anyone to attend a convention or a meeting here.” phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

the Guilford County Board of Education last spring that fewer families could afford ACES because of the economic downturn. The availability of other programs was one reason some county officials have urged cutbacks. “There are other after-school programs and centers doing good jobs,” said Commissioner Bruce Davis of High Point, a day care operator. “When the schools got into the ACES business, it took business from others that were doing a good job.” Davis has questioned whether all the ACES schools need the program. The district had After-school Enrichment Services at as many as 64 elementary schools since 2002. The program is supported by fees collected from parents and Guilford County Department

of Social Services vouchers. The program had as many as 4,100 students from kindergarten to fifth grade. ACES operates every day school is in session for students, from the end of the school day until 6 p.m., as well as on teacher work days designated as ACES All-Days. Students get structured time for homework and other activities. Last summer, the school board approved a new annual enrollment fee of $15 per child and increased fees for the program by $6, to $46 a week. For children who take ACES field trips on teacher work days, the fee went up to $8 from $5. Even with the increases, the program is cheaper than many others, according to school officials.

Concentrate on the important issues After listening to the comments directed toward President Obama being light skinned and that he has no African-American dialect, I ask you: What has all that got to do about solving our problems? Every week, it’s usually something about race. Don’t we have other things better to do? We are in a recession here. Yet, we seem to keep making it a race war. Millions are out of work, health care stinks, people are homeless and hungry. It appears that if as much time was used for trying to solve our problems as trying to see where one can downgrade the other, we could get something done for the economy. I’m sick of this racial business every week. People are becoming so sensitive. They are like a chicken hawk sitting on a tree branch looking for someone to say a racial remark so they can start bickering like children.

Get over it. Let’s do something constructive for a change. CARL TYSINGER Trinity

Let’s see, hear much more about Native American history I have always wondered why we have never set aside a day to honor the memory of the millions of men, women and children – the Native Americans, who died at the hands of our ancestors. Over and over, we hear the stories of the Holocaust survivors, the stories of the men and women who fought and died for this country. We hear about the hard lives and unjust treatment of slaves. We hear about the atrocities committed and the devastation caused by war.

But we do not hear the voices, the stories of atrocities committed on our own land by our own people against the Native Americans. Why is that? Taking the land of Native Americans and force marching them across the North American continent was the epitome of greed carried out by government. We had no right to kill the Native Americans, no right to force them from their land. This was their land, this was their home. We were the invaders, we were the terrorist. Maybe this would be a good time to put some reality in our American history. We need a day to remind us of the millions of Native Americans condemned to a harsh life or death so our forefathers could establish our land of the free. DAVID G. WILLETT High Point

Approval of an ordinance by High Point City Council Tuesday night allows $100,000 for a contract with America Works of North Carolina to work with HPPD and HPCAV by providing 40 hours of job training, job placement with local employers and retention services for 90 days for offenders upon completion of their sentences. Reports show that violent crime decreased 6 percent and property crime fell by 13 percent in 2009 compared to figures for 2008. While rape – rising from 28 in 2008 to 33 in 2009 – was the only violent crime category to show an increase, the number of homicides dropped (73 percent) from 11 in 2008 to three in 2009. The Police Department and HPCAV have focused for a decade on those involved in violent criminal activity, while helping to revitalize several inner city neighborhoods at grass roots level with their success. Lately, police have been applying the same model to property crime, Chief of Police Jim Fealy reports, with detectives “looking at the overall problem and finding all the connecting fibers.” That effort was successful in arrests and retrieval of property in a number of major cases last year, including a series of home break-ins in the Laurel Springs and Laurel Oaks subdivisions in north High Point. Even with the success of the task-force approach over the last decade, one piece of the puzzle always seemed to be missing – what to do with/for offenders once they’ve served their time in order to keep them from going back to a life of crime. HPPD, HPCAV and we believe that the America Works Project should complete and improve the crime-fighting package.

urrent winter sports teams in Guilford County Schools are the first participating under the district’s “Fair Play” guidelines that require student athletes to have a 1.5 weighted GPA. Next year, the weighted GPA requirement will rise to 2.0 and may be raised even higher in following years. Fair Play also requires signed student-athlete residency and honor code statements and students, parents and coaches pledge to abide by the state athletic association eligibility requirements. Good steps in the right direction.

Mass graves swell

Quake gives Guantanamo a new mission

Doctors fear more deaths in Haiti PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — Workers are carving out mass graves on a hillside north of Haiti’s capital, using earthmovers to bury 10,000 people in a single day even as relief workers warn that Haitians are still dying of injuries from the Jan. 12 quake for lack of medical care. Clinics have 12-day waiting lists for patients. Crushed arms and legs are festering and makeshift camps that have sprung up in parks, streets and vacant lots now house an estimated 500,000 people, many in need of food, water and a doctor. “The next health risk could include outbreaks of diarrhea, respiratory tract infections and other diseases among hundreds of thousands of Haitians living in overcrowded camps with poor or nonexistent sanitation,� said Dr. Greg Elder, deputy operations manager for Doctors Without Borders in Haiti.

Pakistani army: No new offensive for now ISLAMABAD – The Pakistani army said Thursday it cannot expand its offensive against militants for at least six months, and the United States backed off public pressure on an ally considered vital in the war next door in Afghanistan. Remarks from the Army’s chief spokesman during a visit by U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates did not rule out the offensive the United States would like to see, against militants who target U.S. forces in Afghanistan from hideouts in Pakistan.

US envoy starts Mideast peace effort JERUSALEM – Washington’s Middle East envoy launched a new effort Thursday aimed at restarting Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations, just as President Barack Obama expressed pessimism about the prospects. Already complicating envoy George Mitchell’s mission was a new demand by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for an Israeli military presence in the West Bank to stop weapons smuggling.

Death toll in Mexican prison fight at 24 MEXICO CITY – The death toll from a brawl at a northern Mexican prison has risen to 24 after the body of another inmate was found.

Federal prosecutors are investigating the brawl, the second deadly fight in less than a year. ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba (AP) – The Haiti earthquake is giving the American base at Guantanamo Bay a new mission: supplying aid to the devastated island nation and potentially detaining thousands of Haitian migrants captured at sea. The deadline for closing the base prison set by President Obama expires today with no new date in sight, but a huge effort to provide earthquake aid is just getting started.

The U.S. has designated Guantanamo, less than 200 miles from Haiti, as the hub of the aid operation. Dozens of helicopters and planes take off daily to ferry supplies and personnel to the stricken country or to American ships off the coast. In ordinary times, the base airstrip is ghostly, with only about three flights a day, including the sporadic release of prisoners. “Clearly, Haiti has eclipsed everything else,� base commander Navy Capt. Steven Blaisdell said Thursday.

Melissa Dosou (center), 19, is comforted by Terry Holbrook, a nurse from San Francisco, Calif., as she is treated by the members of Disaster Medical Assistance Team at a refugee camp in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Thursday. The death toll is estimated at 200,000, according to Haitian government figures relayed by the European Commission, with 80,000 buried in mass graves. The commission now estimates 2 million homeless. Getting help in is still a

challenge. Gen. Douglas Fraser, head of the U.S. Southern Command running Haiti’s airports, said Thursday that 1,400 flights are on a waiting list for slots at the Port-au-Prince airport that can handle 120 to 140 flights a day. But four ships now have

managed to unload cargo at the capital’s badly damaged port, holding out the promise of a new avenue for getting aid to the city. At least 51 sizable aftershocks have jolted the city, sending nervous Haitians fleeing repeatedly into the streets.

UN: Haiti accepts Dominican’s offer to send 150 troops UNITED NATIONS (AP) – The Dominican Republic is sending 150 troops to help secure a critical land route in Haiti used to deliver supplies to tens of thousands of earthquake survivors, the United Nations announced Thursday.

US to tighten rules on Afghan raids KABUL (AP) – NATO’s top commander in Afghanistan plans to tighten the rules on night raids on private homes, even if it means losing some tactical advantage, to curb rising public anger. NATO spokesman Rear Adm. Gregory Smith told The Associated Press in an exclusive interview that a directive would be issued soon to set down the new rules. Nighttime raids on private homes have emerged as the Afghans’ No. 1 complaint after Gen. Stanley McChrystal limited the use of airstrikes and other weaponry last year. The U.S. and allied nations have made protecting the population a priority

over the use of massive firepower as they seek to undermine support for the Taliban. “It addresses the issue that’s probably the most socially irritating thing that we do – and that is entering people’s homes at night,� Smith said Wednesday at his office in Kabul. He would not elaborate pending a formal announcement. The U.S.-led force has become increasingly sensitive to complaints by Afghan civilians as part of a renewed effort to win support among the public and lure people away from the Taliban. Night operations risk offending Afghan sensitivity about men entering homes where women are sleeping.

Mom arraigned in double child killing DEDHAM, Mass. – A Massachusetts woman charged in the deaths of her 9-year-old daughter and unborn son has been arraigned on murder and manslaughter charges, but an evaluation done for the court found her still incompetent to face trial.

Advocates to count homeless ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

GUILFORD COUNTY – Advocates for the homeless will patrol the streets and shelters next week for their annual count. On Wednesday and Thursday, the Homeless Prevention Coalition of Guilford County will conduct Guilford County’s Annual Point in Time Count. Information and data from this year’s count will be released in mid-February. The annual counts are conducted across the nation and are designed to collect data on the number of individuals and families experiencing homelessness on any given night. The information collected provides a statistically reliable snapshot of sheltered and unsheltered homeless individuals and families. Homeless people are those

who sleep in a place not meant for human habitation, such as the streets, emergency shelters or transitional housing, according to the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Chronic homelessness is defined as an individual with a disabling condition who has either been continuously homeless for a year or more, or has had at least four episodes of homelessness in the past three years. “With the current economic hurricane that Guilford County is experiencing, it is essential that we count as many individuals as possible during the Point in Time Count in order to help our community plan for services and obtain an accurate snapshot of those experiencing homelessness,” said Shanna Reece, executive director of the Servant Center.

Industry’s decline. 1A

BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – There’s no question the drop in attendance at the High Point Market over the last several years has had adverse effects on the tourism industry in High Point. The real question is how grave are those effects? A 15 percent drop in the hotel room occupancy tax, which funds the High Point Convention and Visitor’s

Bureau, caused the CVB to dip into $50,000 of its reserve funds for the remainder of its fiscal 2009-2010 year. Local businesses that thrive on tourism also say they’ve felt the effects of a tourism decline as well – especially during the furniture market. “They are obviously our two largest events of the year,” said Juan Ingram, general manager of the Best Western High Point Hotel, about the fall and spring markets. “Just like everyone else in High Point, we rely on that business.” Ingram said the hotel began to see the decline in attendance at the market, which brought 95,514 registered professionals to the spring 2006 event and 75,329 in the fall of 2009, about

four years ago. “I’ve noticed that guests used to stay six or seven days (during market),” he said. “Now, it’s down to a one- or two-day stay.” The trend for business travelers to stay abroad for fewer days also is an international one, said Mike McCully, associate professor of economics at High Point University. “During the recession, companies have been cutting back on travel as much as possible,” he said. “Sometimes you can do that sort of business through conference calls. My guess is that it would pick back up when the economy picks back up.” Restaurants that welcome marketgoers also have noticed a drop in business during the biannual

events. In the past 10 years, there has been a noticeable decline,” said Luke Martin, assistant manager at Liberty Steakhouse and Brewery, about business during market. “It does show up in our sales, and it hits home.” McCully said that’s a natural effect of tourism decline in an area. “Tourism declines tend to mean less business at restaurants and shopping centers,” he said. “Ideally, if we could diversify our tourism to include some non-conventional conferences or social interest groups, that might help in making up some of the drop.” phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

Giving means most when it’s personal

T

hree years ago High Point Community Foundation hosted Peter Legge as our annual meeting keynote speaker. Peter is one of the most well known and beloved philanthropists in Canada, and our coup was the direct result of our chairman, Nido Qubein’s, long-term friendship with this remarkable man. I learned something from Peter that night when he told a story about a very powerful and wealthy friend whom he was trying to get more involved in philanthropy. His point, which I have come to believe, is one of the fundamental truths of giving: The most meaningful philanthropy is always personal. Peter shared how he called his friend and told him he wanted him to give a wheelchair to a deserving young man. His friend, a typically busy businessman, was more than happy to oblige and told Peter to sign him up. Peter immediately responded that he didn’t just want the money, he wanted his friend to actually give the young man the wheelchair himself. Still not catching on, the friend once again told Peter he was on board and more than happy to underwrite the chair. Peter paused and patiently explained, “Listen to me now, what

I’m asking you to do is to come with me and personally hand over the wheelGIVING 101 chair to this young Paul man so Lessard you can ■■■experience the real impact of your gift.� Well, the gift was made, personal contact took place, and Peter’s friend has since become one of the most prolific givers of wheelchairs in Canada. Peter’s story taught me that giving is most life changing when it is done person to person. Since that night, I have made a point of encouraging all of our Community Foundation donors not to just write checks but to go out and meet those folks their generosity impacts. Successful people will always be too busy to take the time to give in person. However, we must never forget that giving is a function of one’s heart, and it is this personal interaction, the sharing of one’s blessings, that changes both the giver and the recipient. PAUL LESSARD, a recipient of the Carnegie Hero Medal and a catalyst for the growth of community outreach programs, is president of the High Point Community Foundation, phone 882-3298.

Daughter of murdered man rejoices in holiday miracle

Dear Sarah: Thank you for your kind letter. It touched my heart as I know it will the hearts of my readers. I don’t know when your father removed his cross, but take comfort in knowing he left it to bring you solace, and I hope that it serves its purpose. I love you, too. Dear Abby: I have a great job working with people I enjoy, and probably the coolest boss in the world. There is just one little problem. He keeps asking me to go out with his daughter. She is a wonderful person, smart and absolutely beautiful – but she is also

recently divorced. I’m afraid I would just be the “in-between� guy for her – a stepping- stone to her recovery. In other words, whatever happens would be at my expense. How can I politely tell my boss that I cannot date his daughter? – Realist in Utah Dear Realist: Tell him you are flattered, that you think his daughter is smart and absolutely beautiful and a wonderful person. Then tell him you know how painful a divorce can be and you would prefer to wait until she is emotionally back on her feet and has gotten her bearings before inviting her out. Do not completely reject the idea because in six months or a year, if she is still available, you may change your mind. Dear Abby: I’m having a dispute with my husband. He thinks that you screw in a lightbulb clockwise. I disagree. I say counter-clockwise. Which of us is correct? – Erika in Pelham, Ala. Dear Erika: He is. You screw in a lightbulb by turning it to the right, the same way you tighten the lid on a jar – which is

ear Abby: I wrote you in October and received your personal reply. I’m the girl whose dad was murdered, and I was looking for a support group. You referred me to the National Organization of Parents of Murdered Children, which provides mutual support to persons who have survived the violent death of someone close (www.pomc.org). I have a little “upper� for you now. We all know about the letters you have printed about Pennies from Heaven, but I don’t know if there ever has been one like this. My dad always wore a gold cross around his neck. He never, ever took it off, so naturally I asked the funeral director to have him shown in it but asked that it be removed before the burial. Well, lo and behold, it was nowhere to be found. So we called everywhere we could think of to locate it and ended up thinking that somewhere along the way from his being killed, taken to the ER, to autopsy, to the funeral home, it had been lost forever. A few days before Christmas, we found it! It was in a box of pennies my dad had collected. He

The remaining four names are believed to have been derived from the names of Norse gods. Tuesday from the god Tiw or Tyr, Wednesday from god Woden, also known as Odin, Thursday from the popular god Thor, and Friday from the goddess Frigga or Freya. Many holidays and important dates are named after the days of the week on which they fall. Black Monday is the name given to the stock market crash which occurred on October 19, 1987.

Testosterone replacement not for every man D

ear Dr. Donohue: More than a year ago, I was diagnosed as having very low testosterone. The doctor had me take injections every two weeks. Four weeks into the program, I experienced a sudden weight gain, and my legs and feet were so swollen that I would have had to go barefoot were it not for an old pair of flip-flops. I didn’t take any more injections. My feet did not fit into my shoes. I next tried another testosterone supplement, only in the form of a cream. The swelling quickly returned. I am not a doctor, but I think low testosterone would explain many changes in my life. I would like to take the hormone treatments, but not if I’m going to swell up. Can you help? I am 63. – K.M.

BLONDIE

B.C.

HAGAR THE HORRIBLE

If I were your doctor, I would be most reluctant to put you back on testosterone in any form. This hormone can induce body retention of sodium and water, and I believe that’s why you experienced the swelling you described. You retained sodium and water. For most men, this retention of sodium and water is a minor problem. For you, it is a major one. For some men whose production of testosterone has waned considerably, replacement therapy preserves muscle tissue, enhances sexual

function and slightly reduces body fat. It’s not a cure-all for aging. About 20 HEALTH percent of men in Dr. Paul their 60s Donohue have low ■■■ testosterone levels. Only a small number receive replacement treatment. The rest do well without it. You realize that testosterone has its downsides. It can promote enlargement of the prostate gland. It might stimulate the growth of indolent nests of prostate cancer. It encourages an increased production of red blood cells, which can give men trouble. It often leads to the growth of the male breast. I wish you had been more specific about the “many life changes” you ascribe to low testosterone. If you mean attaining an erection, other medicines can overcome that problem. Exercise reverses the muscle loss that comes with age. If you are overweight, obesity accelerates testosterone decline, something that weight loss can remedy. Dear Dr. Donohue: I have been watching your column for at least a month for a response to my request for informa-

tion on pemphigoid. My daughter suffers from it. Please do give me your input on this disease. – C.L. Was it your daughter who wrote the material you enclosed on mucous membrane pemphigoid? If it was, she did a terrific job, and I can’t add much to what she wrote. It is an autoimmune disease, one of those illnesses brought on by a suicidal attack of the immune system on its own tissues. In this case, the tissues are the lining of the mouth and throat, the covering of the eyes and sometimes the genital coverings. The attack results in blisters. What made the immune system turn on its own body is an unanswered question. If the eyes are involved, an eye doctor should be part of the treatment team. A dermatologist most often takes care of the other sites of mucous membrane pemphigoid. Ointments of the more powerful cortisone preparations are used to control outbreaks. Sometimes one of the cortisone drugs has to be given by mouth. DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible.

LOS ANGELES (AP) – Air America Radio, a radio network that was launched in 2004 as a liberal alternative to Rush Limbaugh and other conservative commentators, on Thursday shut down abruptly due to financial woes. The network once boasted hosts such as Al Franken and Rachel Maddow, but struggled from the outset, including multiple management shake-ups, a bankruptcy in 2006 and sale for $4.25 million the following year. It ceased airing new programs Thursday.

RALEIGH (AP) – Confirming what practically everyone already suspected, John Edwards confessed Thursday he fathered the baby born to his ex-mistress – an admission that came just ahead of a bombshell book by a top aide to the former Democratic presidential Edwards candidate. Edwards had long denied the girl, Frances Quinn Hunter, was his, even after he admitted cheating on his wife with the child’s mother, Rielle Hunter. Hunter had been hired before Edwards’ 2008 White House campaign to shoot behind-the-scenes video of him. “I am Quinn’s father,” the 56-year-old former North Carolina senator said in a statement. “It was wrong for me ever to deny she was my daughter and hopefully one day, when she understands, she will forgive me.” The confession came ahead of the Feb. 2 release of a book by former Edwards aide Andrew Young that is expected to describe how Edwards worked to hide his paternity with Young’s help.

Mike Domitrz, executive director of The Date Safe Project, will present “Can I Kiss You?” at 7 p.m. Tuesday in Wait Chapel, on the campus of Wake Forest University, WinstonSalem. Admission is free and open to the public. For more information about The Date Safe Project, visit www.thedatesafeproject.org.

The dating game Program helps college students, teens adopt rules for relationships BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

W

INSTON-SALEM – “Can I kiss you?” It’s a question countless men would deem unnecessary – even dorky – on a date, but a safe-dating expert says it can go a long way toward preventing unwanted sexual advances. “Most people say it would be so dorky, but then they see it done and they say, ‘You know what? If I knew how to do it that way, this would be a lot easier,’” says Mike Domitrz, executive director of The Date Safe Project, a Milwaukee organization that provides resources, educational materials and programming related to consent, healthy intimacy and sexual assault awareness. Domitrz will present his popular educational program, “Can I Kiss You?,” Tuesday evening at Wake Forest University. According to Domitrz, the program targets college students, as well as teenagers – and their parents – who are beginning to navigate the tricky waters of dating. The program is free and open to the public. “It’s going to give them a different perspective,” Domitrz says. “Most people have never had a lesson on how to date that gives useful tips that are safe, realistic, respectful and still fun. Typically, what we hear

SPECIAL | HPE

Student at Central College in Pella, Iowa, looks embarrassed as Mike Domitrz demonstrates to audience how to ask, “Can I kiss you?” from most people is, ‘I never had this talk with my parents. If I had a talk at all, it was the most basic birds-and-bees talk. It was never about how to do things right – it was just do the right thing.’ But now you can bring your teen to our program and learn how to do things right.” Domitrz uses role-playing – selecting students from the audience – to demonstrate how to ask for a kiss, and how not to

ask for a kiss. A video posted on the organization’s Web site shows Domitrz’s presentation, after which audience members respond favorably to his approach. “College students are coming out of the program and saying, ‘I’m gonna change the way I date,’” he says. “We’ve done surveys as they walk out, and over 90 percent of the audience agrees with asking (for a kiss) first.”

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

Domitrz strongly encourages parents of teenagers to attend the program – and to bring along their teens, even as young as 12 or 13. “It is a PG to PG-13 show,” he explains. “I don’t say anything you couldn’t hear on regular free TV. The word ‘slut’ is about the worst word that will be said, so it’s a clean show. Yes, it goes down roads of intimacy, but I’ve been told by parents of 12- and 13-year-olds that it’s appropriate for them.” In addition to learning dating skills to implement in their own relationships, attendees will learn how to intervene appropriately in potentially dangerous situations – including when alcohol is involved – when someone is trying to force himself on another person, Domitrz says. The program will also address how to support someone who is a survivor of a sexual assault – an especially poignant topic for Domitrz, who began speaking on this topic in the early 1990s, after learning his sister had been raped. “If you’re the parent of a teenager, how would you handle it if your teen told you something bad had happened to them, or would they even do that?” he says. “We give you the words to open that door.” Domitrz presents the “Can I Kiss You?” program in some 75 to 80 cities a year. jtomlin@hpe.com | 888-3579

The national trend continues to show the incidence of pre-term labors and births rising, resulting in more low birth weight babies and babies with critical medical conditions. To help educate new mothers on the risks and complications related to premature births, the Randolph Hospital Maternity Services Unit was recently awarded a $1,005 grant from the March of Dimes for educational materials. The grant funding will purchase Spanish and English DVD’s and booklets, as well as nursing modules providing excellent educational resources for nurses and families. For those parents who have experienced the loss of an infant, the bereavement literature will provide support as they go through the grieving process. The mission of the March of Dimes is to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature births and infant mortality. One key way the March of Dimes carries out its mission is to provide community grants and awards to agencies across the state. Nearly 1,000 babies are delivered every year at Randolph Hospital, whose Maternity Services Unit is family-focused to ensure that the birthing experience is an exciting and memorable occasion.

An authoritative figure will have a change of heart. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You can take care of any personal problems you face with someone you love or want to get into a relationship with by addressing issues head-on. Your intentions will be up for discussion and you’ll need to explain in depth to put the people you care about at ease. ★★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t overreact or become suspicious when there is nothing to worry about. You will cause problems at a personal level if you try to limit or restrict someone you love. You must hide your emotions even if it is difficult. ★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Avoid people who are always down-and-out or negative. You need to keep a positive attitude if you want to excel.

Conduct your plans with strength and courage until you reach your goals. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Love, romance and socializing will bring about opportunities to make significant personal changes. A short trip will pay off if you visit someone you miss or want to reconnect with. ★★★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’ll have trouble handling your emotions, especially if you are upset about a financial, legal or health matter. You must face problems head on and refuse to let anyone criticize or bring you down. ★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): It’s vital that you keep moving forward so that you don’t slip back into old ways or habits. Someone you’ve known for a long time is interested in getting to know you better. Get back to doing the things you used to enjoy. ★★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Limitations will prevail when dealing with a professional colleague or partner but, if you take action and show what you have to offer, you can make headway.

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

At the 2009 World Championships, an experienced United States Venice Cup team (Baker-McCallum, Deas-Palmer, LevitinaSanborn) reached the final against China. The match figured to be close but wasn’t: China won, 220 to 148. You can be a heroine in today’s deal. Look at the West cards. East deals and opens four hearts, and South overcalls four spades. What is your action? Say you try five hearts. North bids five spades, and two passes follow. You double, all pass and it’s your lead. Facing this problem, a U.S. player led a heart. Declarer took the ace and lost one trump and one club for plus 650.

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S 3 H K Q J 8 6 5 4 3 D 6 5 3 C 7. With neither side vulnerable, you deal and open four hearts. The next player bids four spades, and your partner doubles. What do you say?

OTHER TABLE At the other table, East opened four hearts again. South and West passed, but the U.S. North reopened with a double. South tried 4NT and wound up at five spades undoubled. West for China led ... the ace of clubs and a club. Down one, 12 IMPs to China. In the Bermuda Bowl final, U.S. vs. Italy, the U.S. made four spades, but the Italians made five spades doubled.

ANSWER: The modern preoccupation with itmeans-whatever-I-say-itmeans doubles hasn’t intruded into this situation. Your partner has doubled for penalty, and you must pass. He knows your hand, more or less, and is well placed to make the decisions for your partnership. East dealer Neither side vulnerable

ONE STAR: It’s best to avoid conflicts; work behind the scenes or read a good book. Two stars: You can accomplish but don’t rely on others for help. Three stars: If you focus, you will reach your goals. Four stars: You can pretty much do as you please, a good time to start new projects. Five stars: Nothing can stop you now. Go for the gold.

Alaska man gets day in jail for throwing taco FAIRBANKS, Alaska (AP) – An Alaska man who hit a Taco Bell manager in the face with a double-decker taco has been sentenced to one day in jail and one year probation. Warren Strickland of

Fairbanks must also pay a $100 fine after pleading guilty Tuesday to disorderly conduct. The 31-year-old says he threw the taco because it contained spit after he went through

the drive-thru twice because the restaurant messed up his order. He claims the manager accused him of lying to get free food. Strickland is barred from Taco Bell during his year of probation.

Barbour torches Liberty BY DANIEL KENNEDY SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

DON DAVIS JR. | HPE

High Point University’s Cruz Daniels (50) gets a close look at the ball amid a crush of Liberty’s Jeremy Anderson, Antwan Burrus and Jesse Sanders during Thursday night’s game at the Millis Center.

HIGH POINT – As Nick Barbour hit the deck, he looked up to watch as his 22-foot jumper fell gracefully through the nylon. It was that kind of night for Barbour and High Point University. Five nights after Eugene Harris netted a career-high 25 points, Barbour nearly duplicated his teammate’s success – in the first half. The 6-3 sophomore guard torched the nets early and often Thursday night at the Millis Center, as he drilled five 3-pointers – including the four-point play – en route to 20 first-half points against Liberty. Barbour finished with 24 and the Panthers rode his hot hand to extinguish the Flames, 81-53. High Point (10-8) moved into sole possession of third place in the Big South with a 5-3 league record. The Panthers play VMI on Saturday. “My shot has kind of been off the last couple games,” Barbour said. “I just tried to come out and get my rhythm down.” High Point started quickly with a 13-2 run to begin the contest, jumping out to a 36-21 halftime lead. The Flames did put together a brief spurt starting at the 10minute mark of the first half that cut the edge to four, but watched the Panthers stretch their advantage to 15 in the last five minutes before the half. Barbour’s deep 3-pointer at the halftime horn put the finishing touches on a demoralizing stretch. “With the triangle-two and the things they tried to do to take him out of it, I’m happy he made those shots,” High Point coach Scott Cherry said. The Flames (9-11, 4-4 Big South) were without leading scorer Kyle Ohman, who had surgery before the game on a broken wrist suffered against Gardner-Webb last Thursday. “Oh, I’m sure it’s huge,” Cherry said of the loss of Ohman.

NASCAR looks to bump up competition BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

As expected, NASCAR is giving up on trying to dictate how much drivers can push in restrictor-plate races at Daytona and Talladega. In an announcement during the sanctioning body’s annual press conference as part of the Charlotte Motor Speedway media tour, NASCAR chairman Brian France said that one of the changes for the coming year will be to drop restrictions on bump-drafting – the art of one car pushing another from behind to gain an advantage. NASCAR has tried to limit the practice in the turns at the two big tracks since drivers complained a couple of years ago. It also tried to discourage drivers from doing it on the straightaways last November at Talladega. “We will put it back in the hands of drivers, and we will say ‘Boys, have at it and have a good time,’” vice president of competition Robin Pemberton said Thursday. NASCAR tried to limit the practice after it was blamed for causing the big wrecks at the two tracks where most of the field rides together in a big pack

for the entire race. NASCAR president Mike Helton said drivers can still be penalized for what officials view as overly aggressive driving. “We are trying to make Daytona and Talladega no different than any other track,” Helton said. NASCAR did not make one change that had been expected. The sanctioning body said the rule that dictates that drivers cannot go past a yellow out-ofbounds line and onto the apron to make a pass will remain in effect as a result of a majority of drivers supporting it in recent meetings. “It was not close to 50-50,” Pemberton said. “It wasn’t even 70-30.” Also no surprise was an announcement that the rear wing on the Car of Tomorrow will be replaced by a spoiler similar to those used on older generation cars, a change that was requested by fans who wanted a more traditional look and by teams. Officials hope the spoiler will provide more downforce that will help make cars drive better. The spoiler was tested this week during a Goodyear tire test at Texas Motor Speedway and an open test is scheduled March 23-24 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. No date for using the spoiler the

competition was announced but France said he was hopeful that would be introduced at a big track for the first in mid-April at Texas Motor Speedway. The sanctioning body also confirmed that Cup Series director John Darby will become managing director of competition and will oversee his replacement as Cup director, Nationwide Series director Joe Balash, Truck Series director Wayne Auton and Touring Series director Richard Tuck. Darby will continue to serve as Cup Series director until a replacement is named.

OTHER HIGHLIGHTS •Restrictor-plate openings at Daytona during Speedweeks will be 63/64ths of an inch – the largest since 1989. Pemberton said the openings were increased to compensate for body changes that increase aerodynamic drag. • NASCAR vice president of racing operations Steve O’Donnell said that the sanctioning body’s list of banned substances and its substance-abuse policy will be contained in the NASCAR rule book. The sanctioning body has been criticized for not having a public list of its banned substances. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

ECU hires McNeill RALEIGH (AP) – East Carolina has turned to former Texas Tech defensive coordinator, and Pirates alum, Ruffin McNeill to replace Skip Holtz. The school announced the move Thursday after members of the board of trustees approved McNeill’s hiring and an outline of a contract. The contract won’t be finalized until a regular meeting of the board next month. ECU will introduce him at a news conference in Greenville this morning.

HIT AND RUN

N

ew York Jets head coach Rex Ryan, never one to pull punches, took a jab at critics of his team following Sunday’s 17-14 upset of San Diego. “A matchup that probably nobody wanted, but too bad,” Ryan said of the Jets-Colts. “Here we come!” With all due respect to the Jets’ first-year head coach, I beg to differ. A Chargers-Colts clash might have been exciting, but I think lots of folks across the country are looking forward to the Jets-Colts

showdown for the AFC crown. These teams met in one of the most talked about regularseason games of the year. The Jets rallied to beat the Colts 29-15 on Dec. 27 in Indianapolis. The Colts led 15-10 early in the third quarter when they pulled their starters. That spelled the end of the Colts’ undefeated season and opened the playoff door for the Jets. Ryan’s squad figures to get a four-quarter dose of Peyton Manning, Reggie Wayne, Dallas Clark, Jeff Saturday, Dwight Free-

ney and the gang this time around. Sure, the Jets-Colts contest figures to play second banana in the pre-game hype battle. Brett Favre and the Vikings vs. Drew Brees and the Saints delivers as much ready-made drama and interest as any conference title game in recent memory. But I wouldn’t be surprised if Jets-Colts produces as much on-field drama and excitement as the more heralded NFC matchup.

“After weighing many options, we believe the second weekend of August is a better fit for everyone involved in the enshrinement ceremonies,” Colangelo said in a statement. The enshrinement ceremony will again take place at Springfield’s Symphony Hall, where it was moved to last year for the first time to accommodate the large crowd for Jordan’s induction. The finalists for the class of 2010 will be announced on Feb. 12 in Dallas as part of the NBA’s All-Star weekend. The Hall plans a number of events and new exhibits around the enshrinement ceremonies, including a potential tribute to the Dream Team if it is inducted. “These new plans allow the Basketball Hall of Fame to make our premier event more accessible to fans as we establish a weeklong celebration designed to reach all of the Hall’s constituencies,” said John Doleva, president and CEO of the Hall.

Hall of Fame moves enshrinement to Aug. 13 SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) — The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame is moving its enshrinement ceremony to Aug. 13, avoiding a conflict with the world championships. The Hall expects to welcome its second straight decorated class, with the 1992 U.S. men’s Olympic “Dream Team,” plus Karl Malone and Scottie Pippen, nominated for induction. Both played on that famed team along with Michael Jordan, Larry Bird and Magic Johnson. The enshrinement ceremonies usually take place in early to mid-September. The world championships will be held from Aug. 28-Sept. 12 in Turkey. Jerry Colangelo, chairman of the Hall board and USA Basketball, says the change in date is for the “foreseeable future.”

N.C. State’s Tracy Smith, who scored a game-high 23 points, is swarmed on the court by Wolfpack fans after State’s 88-74 win over seventh-ranked Duke late Wednesday night in Raleigh.

Pack flattens Duke State’s shots keep falling in big win of Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill. But Wednesday night’s upset of the Blue Devils is the rousing win that Wolfpack fans have been desperate for and was reminiscent of an upset of the Tar Heels in Lowe’s first season. “Obviously, this is a huge win for us,� said Smith, who celebrated his 22nd birthday Wednesday and spoke to reporters wearing a red, pointed birthday hat a fan gave him after the game. “Coach told us to go out (in the second half), play hard and have fun. And we had a lot of fun tonight.� Smith went 10 for 12 from the floor to lead a balanced offense that had five players in double figures. Most impressively, N.C. State shot 58 percent – including 64 percent in a first-half performance that charged up the home crowd – while the Blue Devils hit just 39 percent. State led by 10 points in the first half before it was cut to 41-38 at the break. But the Wolfpack scored on five of six possessions to start the second half to push the lead back up to double figures, then boosted it to 69-52 on Horner’s dunk with 8:53 left. Perhaps even more surprising, the same team that couldn’t hold late leads in home losses to Florida and Virginia this month never let the Blue Devils back in it. Duke clawed to within eight points three times, yet

They came with superb energy and you want to be in a game where both teams

We could never match their level of play.� Duke last got as close as eight at 74-66, but Gonzalez (15 points) answered by draining a long 3pointer over the outstretched arm of 6-foot-10 Miles Plumlee to beat the shot clock and push the lead back to double figures with 3:50 left. Duke got no closer than nine the rest of the night.

DURHAM – Krystal Thomas scored 17 points to help No. 6 Duke defeat Virginia Tech 69-38 on Thursday night.

REGION Brittany Gordon scored 14 points to lead SAMFORD 50, ELON 49 Virginia Tech (11-7, 1ELON – Kaylin John- 3).

Tar Heels are struggling like this. Some of the young players pressed into key roles have struggled with consistency and intensity, while others haven’t developed at all. The returnees from the team that romped its way through last season’s NCAA tournament haven’t been able to make up for those struggles, either. Then there are the injuries, which have only exacerbated those troubles. Fifth-year senior Marcus Ginyard and junior Will Graves have missed recent games with sprained ankles, sophomore big man Ed Davis sat out the Wake Forest loss with his own ankle injury and 7foot reserve Tyler Zeller could miss six weeks with a stress fracture in his right foot. Along the way, North Carolina has lost to the elite (Kentucky, Texas) and the unranked (College of Charleston). The Tar Heels even suffered their worst loss under Williams (19 points at Clemson), then fell behind by 20 in the first half against the Yellow Jackets days later. “It’s very frustrating losing games that we shouldn’t lose,� freshman Travis Wear said. “It’s kind of mind-boggling at this point that you’ve lost three (ACC) games and you’re North Carolina.� It’s still early and the Tar Heels have time to regroup, but the storied program ranked sixth in the preseason could be at risk of missing the NCAAs completely if things don’t change soon.

CHAPEL HILL (AP) – The front line looked imposing. The veteran leadership was there. And with an infusion of young talent, North Carolina entered the season looking ready to defend its national championship. More than halfway through the season, that squad is nowhere to be seen. The Tar Heels (12-7, 1-3 Atlantic coast Conference) have lost three straight games for the first time under Hall of Fame coach Roy Williams and matched their loss total of the previous two seasons combined. Picked as co-favorites in the league along with rival Duke, the Tar Heels are sitting near the bottom of the standings and have the look of a team that would just settle for a win right now. The frustration is evident, from the players’ stunned looks during consecutive home losses to Georgia Tech and Wake Forest to Williams’ comments after each game. “I don’t give a darn about what’s going on,� Williams said after Wednesday’s 82-69 loss to the Demon Deacons. “I’m going to coach my rear end off tomorrow. It’s up to them to come along with me, and that’s the way it is. “I’m going to ask them, ’Do you want to keep playing?’ If they don’t want to, we can figure out something for them to do. But we’re going to keep playing.� There is no quick, easy explanation for why the

RALEIGH (AP) – The shots kept falling for N.C. State, whether it was Tracy Smith in the paint or Javi Gonzalez knocking down a critical 3-pointer to beat the shot clock and turn away a late rally. It ended in a courtstorming celebration for the Wolfpack against one of its closest rivals. Smith scored 23 points in a dominant performance inside while Dennis Horner added 20 to help State stun No. 7 Duke 88-74, giving the Wolfpack its first home win against Mike Krzyzewski’s Blue Devils since 2004. It also was the Wolfpack’s first win in the series overall since the first round of the 2007 Atlantic Coast Conference tournament. The only thing more surprising than the final score was the way the Wolfpack (13-6, 2-3 ACC) won: controlling the game almost the entire way, building big leads and never faltering when the Blue Devils (15-3, 3-2) tried to rally. “They continued to do it all the way,� coach Sidney Lowe said of his players. “I was just proud of them. It’s a big win for our players, and for our fans.� Indeed. Since Lowe’s first season in 2007, State has struggled to gain footing in the league. That led to fan frustration about State’s inability to keep up with highly ranked rivals Duke and North Carolina, both located within a 30-minute drive in the so-called Triangle

franchise record with 130 career wins. The Hurricanes were last in the NHL with 35 points and had lost three straight when Staal took over as captain Wednesday for Rod Brind’Amour. Staal didn’t take long to show his leadership on

the ice. The 25-year-old All-Star center scored on a pass from Jussi Jokinen to open the scoring 3:31 into the game. The Hurricanes stretched the lead to 4-0 with power-play goals by Sergei Samsonov, Jokinen and Staal.

LA QUINTA, Calif. – Heavy rains forced the postponement of the second round of the Bob Hope Classic on Thursday, wiping out a day of competition at the tournament for the first time in 30 years. The latest wave of Southern California’s major rainstorms hit the Palm Springs area Wednesday afternoon and scarcely let up Thursday morning, with water pooling on greens and fairways. The area already has received two inches of rain this week – a rarity in the deserts east of Los Angeles. The ducks loved it, but the players had no chance. With better weather in the forecast for Friday and the weekend, tournament organizers quickly decided to scrap Thursday’s play. The Hope Classic is the PGA Tour’s only five-day, four-course event, giving the tournament extra time to make up Thursday’s lost round. The tournament hadn’t been interrupted by rain since the opening round of the 1980 tournament, which was suspended and completed the next day. The tour hasn’t decided whether the Hope Classic will be extended into Monday. Next week’s PGA event is at Torrey Pines in the San Diego area, making for a simple travel schedule for the players. Shane Bertsch leads after Wednesday’s opening round with a 10-under 62, two strokes ahead of Jeff Quinney and Alex Prugh. The Hope Classic has a lackluster field this year by its usual standards, with no players in the top 35.

While Watson is identified as a member of the World Golf Hall of Fame, Couples has a more humble title underneath his smiling mug: “rookie.” There’s no mention of his 15 PGA Tour tiles, 1992 Masters win or 2009 U.S. President’s Cup team captaincy “It’s just a different deal,” Couples said. “Everyone seems like a winner out here. Even the guys that didn’t play on the regular (tour) come and do well.” Couples and U.S. Ryder Cup captain Corey Pavin will make their first official starts on the Champions Tour today in the season-opening Mitsubishi. They each received sponsor exemptions, making them the first players to make their tour debuts at the winnersonly event. Both players turned 50 late last year, have 15 PGA Tour wins and are fitting right in.

Tolbert replaces Williamson as Panthers WR coach CHARLOTTE (AP) – The Carolina Panthers have hired Tyke Tolbert as receivers coach. The move on Thursday comes three days after longtime assistant Richard Williamson an-

Arizona Cardinals. There is still one opening on coach John Fox’s staff. Special teams coach Danny Crossman hasn’t been replaced after being fired earlier this month.

Iverson voted in; Nash, Duncan get All-Star spots NEW YORK (AP) – Allen Iverson was voted to start in the All-Star game Thursday, while Steve Nash and Tim Duncan made late moves to claim starting spots for the Western Conference. Nash passed the inactive Tracy McGrady as the second guard, while Duncan disappointed Dallas fans hoping to see Dirk Nowitzki start by rallying past the Mavericks forward. LeBron James was the leading votegetter for the Feb. 14 game at Cowboys Stadium, becoming the first player to earn at least 2.5 million votes three

times. Joining James and Iverson as East starters were Miami guard Dwyane Wade, Orlando center Dwight Howard and Boston forward Kevin Garnett. Lakers guard Kobe Bryant was picked in the West along with Phoenix center Amare Stoudemire and Denver forward Carmelo Anthony. Starters were decided by fan balloting at NBA arenas and electronically. The reserves will be chosen by votes by the head coaches in each conference and will be announced next Thursday.

Stocks take hit on Obama remarks NEW YORK (AP) — A drop in financial shares pounded the stock market after President Barack Obama proposed greater restrictions on big banks. The Dow Jones industrial average tumbled 213 points after dropping 122 on Wednesday. The index has seen four straight triple-digit moves and the latest slide erased the Dow’s gains for 2010.

Oil continues slide as market drops NEW YORK (AP) — Crude prices continued sliding Thursday as stocks fell for a second day. Oil dropped even though government reports showed supplies of heating oil and natural gas tightened with colder winter weather in some parts of the country. Benchmark crude for March delivery fell $1.36 to $76.38 a barrel on the New York Mercantile

Continental posts quarterly profit DALLAS (AP) — Continental Airlines Inc. earned a surprising profit in the fourth quarter thanks to higher traffic and lower fuel spending. Chairman and CEO Jeff Smisek said Thursday the airline is “seeing some signs that business travel is beginning to head in the right direction.” But Smisek added that his company and the long-battered airline industry “are a long way from being out of the woods.” He said he expected a long and slow recovery. Continental said Thursday that it earned $85 million, or 60 cents per share, in the fourth quarter.

He said it was not appropriate that banks have been able to run these trading operations with the protections afforded to regular banking services. “We have to enact commonsense reforms that will protect American taxpayers and the American economy from future crises,” Obama said. “For, while the financial system is far stronger today than it was one year ago, it’s still operating

under the same rules that led to its near-collapse.” Joining Obama for the announcement were former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker, who heads the president’s Economic Recovery Advisory Board, and William Donaldson, chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission under Republican President George W. Bush. Volcker and Donaldson have advocated stronger restrictions on banks. Overhauling financial rules is the one issue on Obama’s legislative agenda that appears still alive

after Democrats’ devastating loss Tuesday in the Massachusetts Senate race. The White House is renewing Obama’s demand for an independent consumer financial protection agency as part of any overhaul. That is one of the major sticking points in the Senate; the House of Representatives has passed its version already. The new proposal from Obama intends to limit speculation by commercial banks and to keep financial institutions from growing so big that they pose a risk to the economic system.

Cutbacks boost Goldman earnings NEW YORK (AP) — Goldman Sachs Group Inc. said Thursday it earned $4.79 billion in the fourth quarter as the bank cut back on compensation and its trading business again outdistanced the rest of the financial industry. The company rewarded its employees with $16.2 billion in salaries and bonuses for 2009, up 47 percent from the previous year but still lower than many had expected. Compensation accounted for 36 percent of Goldman’s $45.17 billion in 2009 revenue, the lowest annual ratio ever for the company. In 2008, Goldman set aside 48 percent of its revenue to pay employees. The pullback in pay helped the bank easily

Goldman Sachs Group Inc. Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Lloyd Blankfein gestures while testifying on Capitol Hill in Washington on Jan. 13. top analysts’ earnings estimates. Goldman earned $8.20 a share in the last three months of the year, well above the $5.20 a share expected by analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters. Trading of fixed income, commodities and currencies buoyed Goldman’s profits for the third straight quarter. The bank also reported higher fees from underwriting stock and debt of-

ferings. Its shares initially rose but pulled back in midmorning trading, falling $2.99, or 1.78 percent, to $164.80. Goldman, which has outperformed other financial companies for years, has been the strongest bank throughout the financial crisis. It had less exposure to toxic mortgage-backed securities than other companies and also has been more aggressive in its trading.

Target unveils 2010 strategy NEW YORK (AP) — Target is navigating turbulent economic times by polishing old stores rather than opening new ones and seeking growth in countries outside of the U.S such as Canada and Mexico. The discount chain said Thursday that it will spend $1 billion renovating 340 stores while opening fewer than 10 new locations. The renovated stores will offer more groceries as part of a

shift in focus that the company announced last year. It’s also developing smaller stores for urban markets. Target said it plans to test the concept within the next few years. The chain, based in Minneapolis, has faced tough competition from larger rival Wal-Mart Stores Inc., the world’s largest retailer. Customers had turned away from Target’s “cheap chic” styles and toward re-

China declares crisis past amid inflation BEIJING (AP) — China declared it is over the global crisis and signaled a shift in focus to controlling inflation, sparking concern it could hamper growth and the country’s contribution to a worldwide rebound. Economic growth accelerated to 10.7 percent in the final quarter of 2009, the government said Thursday, beating

most forecasts and driving the full-year expansion to 8.7 percent. But inflation also picked up, driven by a jump in food costs amid a torrent of stimulus spending and bank lending. The strong numbers keep China on a course to replace Japan sometime later this year as the world’s second-largest economy after the U.S.

Quick maneuvers to change that view emerged in the form of better holiday sales as Target trumpeted its lower prices and expanded its selection of groceries, necessities that bring in shoppers more frequently. Better-than-expected customer traffic boosted December sales by 1.8 percent at stores open at least a year.

The financier also paid for much of Poole’s New Orleans bachelor party in 2005 and helped pay for an engagement party in Wilmington, prosecutors allege. Easley is not accused of wrongdoing in the indictment.
