HIGH POINT – The Planning and Zoning Commission approved requests from High Point University and Westchester Christian Center at its meeting Tuesday night but was forced to delay voting on a request from Presbyterian Homes Inc. The commission unanimously approved a request from High Point University to rezone about 10 acres of its land for a Greek Village that would be used to house fraternity and sorority students. Don Scarborough, vice president of community relations, told The High Point Enterprise last week that the Greek Village will include 14 houses with 13 students in each house, creating room for 182 students. Commission member Kathy Carter praised the university for its compliance with the University Area Plan, which was designed to guide the growth of the university

A request for changes in a land-use plan from Westchester Christian Center, part of Providence Place, was approved 5-0. and approved by the City Council in December. The plan states that campus expansion should be contiguous to existing campus. The two blocks border the campus’ western edge.

A request for changes in a landuse plan from Westchester Christian Center, part of Providence Place, also was approved 5-0. Commission member Joe Humble excused himself from the voting

process due to business involvement with Providence Place. An original zoning approval for the center in 1998 allowed for seven adult-care buildings with 10 units per building to be constructed on the site. Providence Place requested that the plan combine these seven buildings into one adult-care building that will be located along the eastern boundary of the property, about 500 feet north of Whittier Avenue. Because commission members Joe Humble and Jim White excused themselves from voting on a request from Presbyterian Homes due to business involvement, the commission could not vote on the item because it did not meet quorum. The request, which involves adjustments to the site’s land-use plan including using a portion of its land for office space, will be heard at the commission’s Feb. 23 meeting.

Runway marks milestone at airport

STATE OF SCHOOLS: Guilford superintendent assesses local education. 1B

BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GREENSBORO – A new era at Piedmont Triad International Airport will touch down at 2 p.m. today. Nearly 12 years after it was announced as part of the FedEx Corp. cargo hub expansion, the airport will open its new runway to air traffic this afternoon. The nearly 2-mile-long runway, the third at PTIA, was proposed in April 1998 as part of the plan to recruit FedEx’s latest national cargo hub. “I think it’s a milestone for our airport,” said Henry Issacson, chairman of the Piedmont Triad Airport Authority and a Greensboro attorney and civic leader. Airport leaders announced the runway’s opening during Tuesday’s meeting of the authority. Though built for $150 million to accommodate FedEx, the new runway is open to all aviation traffic. FedEx insisted on the parallel runway to allow its overnight planes to enter and exit the hub in time to meet delivery schedules to customers. FedEx opened its hub in June of last year, though business has been stunted by the recession. When fully operational, the hub will involve 126 daily flight operations between 10 p.m. and 4 a.m. and should employ 1,500

Though the detailed plans stem from the FedEx announcement, the concept of a third runway at PTIA first appeared on an airport master plan in 1968, Issacson said. Crews for the airport continue to work on taxiways related to the new runway, with one scheduled to be completed in February and another in March, said Mickie Elmore, director of development for PTIA.

EXPANSION

–

The opening of the 9,000-foot-long runway nearly completes a Piedmont Triad International Airport expansion that dates back to April 1998 when FedEx announced that it would build its mid-Atlantic hub at the airport. The expansion includes the rerouting of a section of Bryan Boulevard to make room for the new runway, the construction of a major new interchange entrance and exit for the airport and construction of the 165-acre, eight-building FedEx hub complex, which opened last June. The runway will open without ceremony this afternoon, but a dedication is planned for this spring. The runway was funded primarily through federal government grants, along with $30 million from locally generated authority revenues. Security metal

fencing around the runway covers 6 miles, Elmore said. “This is a great day for the airport and the Piedmont Triad. This new

runway will give our region a competitive edge when it comes to economic growth,” Issacson said. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

Hayworth plans challenge to McCain FROM ENTERPRISE, NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

PHOENIX – Former Arizona Rep. J.D. Hayworth, a native of High Point, says he’s planning to run against John McCain for McCain’s U.S. Senate seat. Hayworth told The Associated Press late

Friday that he stepped down as host of his radio program on KFYI-AM, a conservative radio talk show in Phoenix. Legally, he wouldn’t be able to host the program and be an active candidate. Hayworth, who served as a Republican congressman, was ousted from his seat in

2007 after 12 years in office by Democrat Harry Mitchell. Hayworth has hosted the radio show for the past few years. Hayworth says he’s not formally announcing a run for the Senate seat, but that “we’re moving forward to challenge John McCain.” He added that

he’s had a wonderful time at KFYI, but “it’s time to enter public life again.” Hayworth, who graduated from High Point Central High School, is a North Carolina State University graduate who moved to Arizona after college for a career in broadcasting.

HIGH POINT – Edward Roy Epperson, a longtime High Point University faculty member and administrator who helped guide the transformation of the campus during a career that spanned more than 40 years, died last week at age 77. Friends and colleagues recalled Epperson as a beloved former professor of chemistry who provided vital service to the school as vice president of administrative affairs and director of special projects after he left the classroom. “Roy was a wonderful friend and an irreplaceable colleague for High Point University,” said John Lefler, former vice president of institutional advancement for HPU. “Most of our alums, I would think, think of him as a faculty member rather than an administrator, because he was such a great teacher.” Epperson began his tenure at what was then High Point College in 1966. Over the years, he served as chair of the department of chemistry before leaving the faculty and taking on a variety of administrative posts. Most recently, he served as the university’s point man and supervisor of numerous construction projects, including the Slane Student Activity & Fitness Center renovation and expansion, the Plato S.

I was so happy for him to be able to spend his retirement years continuing to be a part of the university family, which he loved so deeply,” said Scarborough. “Dr. Epperson always spoke with authority, so he was a good defender of the university in all those years.” Epperson was also heavily involved in the community through his extensive volunteer service, recalled longtime friend Ellen Whitlock. “Dr. Epperson gave so much of himself to our community. He was interested in the arts, music and human services, and gave tirelessly to organizations that met so many people’s needs and improved the quality of life for so many of us.

Thomasville teacher accused of relationship with student ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

THOMASVILLE – A Thomasville High School teacher has been charged with having a sexual relationship with a student, according to a Thomasville police press release. Authorities said Edward Heath Williamson, 33, was

charged Friday with two counts of sex offense with a student. The charges, which are Williamson class G felonies, regulate sexual contact between teachers and students re-

gardless of the age of the student and regardless of consent between the victim and the offender. Thomasville High’s Web site says Williamson is a technology facilitator for the school. Police said Williamson’s employment status will be determined by the school system, which is also

investigating the incident. Thomasvile police started its investigation into the alleged sexual act Jan. 19. According to Thomasville police, the victim is a student at the high school who is older than 16. The victim’s name is not being rleased at this time, police said.

County’s third rabies case reported ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

GUILFORD COUNTY – County health officials reported this week the third rabies case of the year in a raccoon found on Homeview Road in Whitsett. The rabid raccoon had contact with one dog. Raccoons are the primary reservoir for rabies in North Carolina, but the disease also is com-

mon in skunks and foxes and can be found in dogs, cats, horses, cattle and other animals. Even though the weather has been cold, rabies continues to circulate within the wildlife population, according to health officials. The county had as many as 11 rabies cases in 2009, down from 23 cases in 2007. North Carolina law re-

quires that all domestic pets 4 months of age and older to have vaccinations against rabies and that their vaccinations are kept current. This law applies even if pets are exclusively kept indoors. Barnyard pets such as goats, horses and cows should also be vaccinated against rabies for their protection against the deadly virus. Unvac-

cinated pets exposed to a rabid animal must be euthanized or confined for six months in a veterinarian’s facility at the owner’s expense. For more information or educational programs available, contact the Guilford County Department of Public Health at 641-7777, Guilford County Animal Control at 641-5990 or visit www. guilfordhealth.org.

Governor’s order adds to meetings with workers

RALEIGH (AP) – North Carolina Gov. Beverly Perdue has signed an executive order widening communication lines between state agencies and employee groups beyond an order her predecessor approved.

Perdue spokesman Tim Crowley said Tuesday last week’s order seeks input from state workers that are members of as many as five unions or organizations. The order replaces a 2006 executive order by

Gov. Mike Easley giving employee groups of at least 2,000 members – at least 500 of them state workers – the ability to meet annually with his office. Perdue’s order goes further by allowing the groups to meet quarter-

ly with the state personnel director and with agency heads in some cases. The order doesn’t grant collective bargaining rights to state workers, which is illegal. Perdue remains opposed to that idea.

Iraq militants using new tactics to foil security

BRIEFS

Car bomb wounds 14 near US base in Kabul

KABUL – A suicide car bomber struck a barrier outside a U.S. base in Kabul on Tuesday, wounding six Afghans and eight American troops hours after gunmen killed four policemen in southern Afghanistan. The car bombing was the latest attack to hit Kabul, coming just over a week after a team of Taliban gunmen and suicide bombers staged an assault that left 12 people dead. The violence has underscored fears militants would try to stage attacks ahead of a international conference on Afghanistan in London Thursday.

BAGHDAD (AP) – Militant groups are finding new ways to foil Iraqi security – hiding explosives in the chassis of vehicles or tucking them into secret compartments, the top U.S. commander in Iraq said Tuesday as Baghdad was again hit by a suicide car bomb that sheared off the front of the main crime lab. At least 22 people were killed. The attack came a day after car bombings struck three Baghdad hotels favored by Western journalists and security

Haitians detained in Bahamas; future unclear

NASSAU, Bahamas – At least 51 Haitian migrants, including a 6-month-old infant, were detained in the Bahamas and authorities differed Tuesday on whether they would be released or face charges. It wasn’t immediately clear if the migrants were victims of the 7.0-magnitude earthquake that struck Haiti on Jan. 12, killing at least 150,000 people. Thousands of Haitians were already fleeing to neighboring Caribbean islands every year before the quake.

contractors. The back-toback blasts were the latest in a series of major assaults since August that underscore an evolving tactic by suspected Sunni militants to target highprofile government sites with attacks involving high degrees of planning and coordination. The aim appears twofold: to maximize blows to the Shiite-led government and exploit security gaps with Iraqi forces now almost entirely in control of checkpoints and patrols as the U.S. military draws down.

Guatemalan police arrest ex-president

GUATEMALA CITY – Police captured fugitive former President Alfonso Portillo in northern Guatemala on Tuesday, a day after U.S. prosecutors indicted him on charges of laundering money stolen from foreign donations meant to buy children’s books. Dozens of agents raided a ranch in the province of Izabal to execute the arrest, Attorney General Amilcar Velasquez said.

Mudslide kills tourist, guide near Machu Picchu

LIMA, Peru – A mudslide on the famed Inca trail to Machu Picchu killed an Argentine tourist and a Peruvian guide Tuesday, as authorities evacuated dozens of tourists by helicopter from a flood zone where nearly 2,000 more were still stranded. Cuzco government spokesman Hernet Moscoso said the Argentine, identified as Lucia Ramallo, 23, and the guide, Washington Huaraya, were in their tents when a slope gave way and their tents were crushed.

Students protest anti-Chavez station’s removal

CARACAS, Venezuela – Thousands of university students protested against President Hugo Chavez again Tuesday, accusing the socialist leader of forcing an opposition-allied TV channel off cable and satellite as a means of silencing his critics. The march by some 3,000 people was peaceful, unlike protests in several cities Monday that escalated into clashes among anti-Chavez factions, the president’s supporters and police, leaving two youths dead.

CONAKRY, Guinea – One of the fiercest critics of Guinea’s military junta became prime minister Tuesday, a crucial step toward democracy that comes amid worries the country’s wounded coup leader is trying to influence the political process from exile.

He vowed to steer the nation toward elections and said the military needs to be restructured for stability to take hold.

Man caught at airport with 44 lizards in pants

WELLINGTON, New Zealand – A German reptile collector has been jailed for 14 weeks and must pay a $3,540 fine for plundering New Zealand’s wild gecko and skink populations, a judge has ruled.

Chile IDs remains of 11 with Allende in coup

SANTIAGO, Chile – Forensic scientists have identified the bodies of 11 people who were among the last to see Chilean President Salvador Allende alive, rallying around him as Gen. Augusto Pinochet’s forces bombarded the presidential palace in 1973. Forty of the socialist leader’s aides and supporters stayed with him during the military’s attack on the La Moneda palace.

Haiti’s children on their own PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) – The children with no names lay mute in a corner of the General Hospital grounds Tuesday, three among thousands of boys and girls set adrift in the wake of Haiti’s earthquake. “Hi, Joe, how are you?” the American doctor tried, using a pet name the staff had given a boy of about 11. There was no response. “Joe,” “Baby Sebastian” and the girl who didn’t even have a nickname hadn’t spoken or cried since they were brought in over the pre-

vious 48 hours – by neighbors, passers-by, no one knows who. “Sebastian,” only a week old, was said to have been taken from the arms of his dead mother. They’re lucky: Haitianborn Dr. Wisdom Price and the staff were treating them for infections and other ailments. Hundreds of thousands of other hungry and thirsty children are scattered among Port-auPrince’s squatter camps of survivors, without protection against disease or child predators – often with nobody to care for them.

Woman fulfills dream day before dying CONCORD, N.H. – It was Harriet Richardson Ames’ dream to earn her bachelor’s degree in education. She finally reached that milestone, nearly three weeks after achieving another: her 100th birthday. On Saturday, the day after receiving her diploma at her bedside, the retired schoolteacher died, pleased that she had accomplished her goal, her daughter said.

Toyota halts US sales of 8 recalled models WASHINGTON – Toyota Motor Co. said Tuesday it was suspending U.S. sales of eight recalled vehicle models to fix accelerator pedals that stick, the latest quality problem to confront the world’s No. 1 automaker. The Japanese automaker says the sales suspension includes the 2009-2010 RAV4, the 20092010 Corolla, the 2009-2010 Matrix, the 2005-2010 Avalon, the 2007-2010 Camry, the 2010 Highlander, the 2007-2010 Tundra and the 2008-2010 Sequoia.

Officials say stimulus bill to cost $75B more WASHINGTON – Last year’s $787 billion economic stimulus bill is going to be even more expensive – $75 billion more. The new Congressional Budget Office estimate, released Tuesday, provides more ammunition for Republicans who say the stimulus has been long on spending and short on creating promised jobs.

Oklahoma man accused of killing wife OKLAHOMA CITY – A woman found beaten to death in a motor home recently sought a protective order against her estranged husband, an exconvict who was charged Tuesday with killing her and kidnapping her 7-year-old daughter. Comanche County prosecutors charged Lester William Hobbs, 46, with first-degree murder and kidnapping in the killing of Tonya Hobbs.

President gives union speech tonight WASHINGTON (AP) – President Barack Obama will try to pivot past rocky times for the nation and himself tonight in his first State of the Union address, offering a skeptical public repackaged plans to energize the economy, stem a tide of red ink and strengthen anti-terror defenses. He’ll also be trying to revive his own “yes we can� image. One year into office, and a week after pledging to do better at “speaking directly to the American people,� Obama faces urgent challenges as he stands before lawmakers gathered in the Capitol and a prime-time television audience at home for the constitutionally mandated ritual of U.S. governing.

4 charged in scheme at senator’s office

NEW ORLEANS (AP) – A conservative activist who posed as a pimp to target the community-organizing group ACORN and the son of a federal prosecutor were among four people arrested by the FBI and accused of trying to interfere with phones at Sen. Mary Landrieu’s office. Activist James O’Keefe, 25, was already in Landrieu’s New Orleans office Monday when Robert Flanagan and Joseph Basel, both 24, showed up claiming to be telephone repairmen, U.S. Attorney Jim Letten’s office said Tuesday. Letten says O’Keefe recorded the two with his cell phone. Flanagan, the son of acting U.S. Attorney Bill Flanagan in Shreveport, and Basel asked for access to a phone at the reception desk. Then they asked for access to a phone closet so they could work on the phone system. The men were directed to another office in the building, where they again said they were telephone repairmen. They were arrested later by the U.S. Marshal’s Service.

Trinity officials should reject alcohol sales vote

The Your View Poll question was, “Should Trinity City Council pursue scheduling a vote in 2011 on alcohol sales in the city?” The answer is an emphatic no. The people of Trinity care more about the seven schools in our community and the lives of our most precious children. I will do everything in my power to defeat the liquor crowd who can’t exist without being half lit, and use their excuse to run the city of Trinity. With so many families hurting with trying to make enough for their families to pay bills and put food on their tables, sure, that’s what we need – liquor! Trinity City Councilman Robbie Sikes may drink, but I don’t, and he thinks this is not a moral issue because it is the 21st century. Well, read the book of Proverbs, it states “The way of a fool is right in his own eyes; fools make a mock of sin; wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise, woe to the man who put drink to another.” Don’t forget, the Bible is always up to date. I ask your readers if they are going to believe Sikes (man) or God? Take a stand against evil and God will bless the city of Trinity. LORENE BROWN Trinity

Why are liberals forgiven for saying stupid things?

cal correctness thing. I did not see the program on which Robertson made these unforgivable comments, but does he not have the right to express his beliefs concerning the cause of this tragedy? Why do only liberals have a right to express their opinions without being hammered by the media? Did Robertson anywhere in the program say that his organization was not going to help with this terrible tragedy? Why are the comments by Harry Reid explained away while conservatives are condemned. I would wager you, that if a survey could be taken, that conservatives’ gifts to Haiti will outnumber liberals’ gifts two to one. I agree with Dusty Schoch’s recent guest column about stopping “Negro-Gate” before it gets started ... if, of course, we can go back and restore the power of all the conservatives who have been condemned for their off-the-cuff remarks. Then we would not be in the political mess we are now in. By the way, it had been almost a week after the Haiti earthquake. People were still without water, food and were living in the streets.

Friends of Haiti look S to future

A

s hundreds of millions of dollars in aid from the U.S. and around the world pour into Haiti, discussions in some quarters are beginning to focus on the future of that beleaguered nation. Slammed by multiple storms in the past few years and now this month’s earthquake, the future of the hemisphere’s poorest nation looks bleak. But in Montreal this week, officials of 19 nations and international organizations committed to a 10-year effort to help Haiti recover and rebuild. Some might criticize such a meeting just now as the death and devastation continues to mount and the nation and its people have critical immediate needs. However, now is the time for the Group of Friends of Haiti, as it has been informally named, to start looking to the future – because it will take a huge financial effort and massive mind-set revisions to rebuild that nation. Billions in foreign aid from the U.S., Canada, the United Nations and other entities will be involved, surely. But full recovery from the devastation will be successful only if a democratically elected government can be stabilized, if an educational system that can lift Haitians out of poverty is put into place and if a free-market economic system based on production of goods – not debt and consumption – can be established. The U.S. and other nations have poured hundreds of millions of dollars in aid into the nation in the past, and the result has been that Haiti remains the Western Hemisphere’s poorest nation. Fundamental change must occur. Now is the time to make it happen.

YOUR VIEW POLL

The public does have a voice in government – the ballot

ome of the most melancholy letters and e-mails that are sent to me are from people who lament that there is nothing they can do about the bad policies that they see ruining this country. They don’t have any media outlet for their opinions and the letters they send to their congressmen are either ignored or are answered by form letters with weasel words. They feel powerless. Sometimes, I remind them that the whole political establishment – both Democrats and Republicans, as well as the mainstream media – were behind amnesty for illegal immigrants, until the public opinion polls showed that the voters were not buying it. If politicians can’t do anything else right, they can count votes. It was the same story with the government’s health care takeover legislation. The Democrats have such huge majorities in both houses of Congress that they could literally lock the Republicans out of the room where they were deciding what to do, set arbitrary deadlines for votes and cut off debate in the Senate. The mainstream media was on board with this bill, too. To hear the talking heads on TV, you would think it was a done deal. Then Scott Brown got elected to the “Kennedy seat” in the Senate, showing that that seat was not the inheritance of any dynasty to pass on. Moreover, it showed that voters were already fed up with the Obama administration, even in liberal Massachusetts, as well as in Virginia and New Jersey. Backtracking on health care began immediately. That one Senate seat was the difference between being able to shut off debate in the Senate and having to allow debate on what was in this massive legislation. From day one, it was clear that concealing what was in this bill was the key to getting it passed. That is why there had to be arbitrary deadlines to get it passed. The president could wait months before deciding to give a general the troops he asked for to fight the war in Afghanistan, but there was never to be enough time for the health care bill to be exposed in the light of day to the usual congressional hearings and debate. Moreover, despite all the haste, the health care program would not actually go into effect until after the 2012 presidential elec-

tion. In other words, the public was not supposed to find out whether the government’s takeover of medical care actually made things better or worse until after it was too late. Although even the members of Congress who voted on this OPINION massive legislation did not have time to read its thousands Thomas of pages, just the way it was Sowell being rushed through in the ■■■ dark should have told us all we needed to know. For many voters, that turned out to be enough. Even after Brown came out of nowhere to make a stunning upset election victory, there were still some cute political tricks that could have been pulled to save the health care bill. But enough Democrats saw the handwriting on the wall that they were not going to risk their own re-election to save this bill that Barack Obama has been hell-bent to pass, even when polls showed repeatedly that the public didn’t want it. President Obama’s desire to do something “historic” by succeeding, where previous presidents had failed, was perfectly consistent for a man consumed with his own ego satisfaction, rather than the welfare of the country or even of his own political party. As for the public, it doesn’t matter if your congressman answers your letter with a form letter, or doesn’t answer at all. What matters is that you let him know what you are for or against. As for what is likely to happen to health care, neither the bill passed by the House of Representatives nor the Senate bill can be expected to be enacted into law. Meanwhile, Obama’s reaction to his political setback has been to respond rhetorically and to call on the political operatives who helped engineer his successful election campaign in 2008. But the public did not know him then, and his rhetoric may not fool them again, now that they do.

We feed on what Hollywood has taught us

THREE VIEWS

E

very day, normally unintentionally, we feed into the stigmas laid on us by Hollywood; whether we do this by turning up our nose at a perfectly decent person who just happens to be sufficiently less attractive or by drooling after someone just because of their appealing looks. What happened to being attracted to another person because of their personality? I’m guessing that went out the window when we submitted to the media’s designation that only looks matter. When we watch the stars walk down the red carpet, we know exactly what we will see: glamour, elegance and, most overwhelmingly, beauty. No one, it seems, can grace the legendary carpet without having at least a few physical features that intrigue others in a positive way. The A list celebs in particular know that letting their looks fade can slam them out of the everyearned-for limelight and land them on the D list. Now that we’ve been spoiled with stunning stars and starlets, it’s like we find it atrocious to even consider letting an individual who does not meet our unreasonable standards appearance-wise, make it to super stardom. There is so much unused, untapped and unrecognized talent in this world. Can we make peace with the fact legitimate ability is being neglected because we have let ourselves become this shallow? We seem completely fine with the fact more and more celebrities are living with eat-

sually, it takes a landslide election to alter the political landscape this dramatically. This time, all it took was an appointment. Rep. Margaret Dickson, a Fayetteville Democrat, has been tapped to replace former state Sen. Tony Rand, who left the Senate to head the state Post-Release Supervision and Parole Commission. She’ll have to work to keep the seat, because the voters get to post an early vote on her stewardship this fall. Dickson’s selection left a vacancy in the House. Such things never go unnoticed, and Fayetteville City Councilwoman Val Applewhite, Democrat, not only noticed, she announced her availability. If appointed by a special committee (the replacement process is much the same in both chambers), that would leave an empty seat on the council. Lest anyone think that things are beginning to get dull, Fayetteville City Councilman Wesley Meredith, Republican, has already announced that he’ll be trying to unseat Dickson. It all makes for lively speculation in Fayetteville and District 19. But since only one of these people has actually made the jump from “hopeful� to something more substantial, the spotlight rightly dwells on Dickson. Don’t be led into foolish comparisons to Rand. Dickson, a freshman despite her service in the House, isn’t going to be made majority leader or handed the gavel on the deadly Rules Committee.

tion, long a passion of Dickson’s. In that kind of political environment, unwise but expedient tradeoffs are likely in health, nutrition and environmental programs unless someone heads them off. This isn’t about how effective Rand was after more than two decades in the Senate. It’s about how effective state Sen. Margaret Dickson can be in serving North Carolina and District 19 between now and November and, perhaps, beyond.

What she’s going to do is make the rounds, gladhand, cozy up to the right people and horse-trade to make her influence felt where she thinks it will do the most good. There are challenges aplenty. What used to be an annual budget brawl has become an annual ordeal as lawmakers and the governor hack away at a budget that was no plump Christmas turkey to begin with. Nothing, it seems, is sacred – not even educa-

ing disorders. They feel so uncomfortable with their bodies because they are constantly being judged, being put on TEEN VIEW these pedestals we create. Hailey When I turn Hendrix on the TV, I ■■■don’t want to see any witless wonders, and I certainly don’t want to see some “attractive� heiress who has never had to work for anything a day in her life. No, I want to see real people. I want to see my best friend’s sister who can sing like an angel, and the boy that sits next to me in English that can move me to tears with his impeccable acting skills. I want to see people who can relate to me and are down to earth. So I guess the true question here is how good do you have to be to be good enough for Hollywood? How skinny must you make yourself before you can audition for a movie? How good looking do you have to be to let your talent be known to the world? And what happens when the people already under scrutiny dedicate their lives to being good enough? I suppose no one will ever truly get to that unreachable place where everyone likes them and accepts them for who they really are, especially in a place as cruel and unforgiving as Hollywood.

students valuable and lifelong lessons.” In the classroom, the program will emphasize courage, integrity, kindness, perseverance, respect, responsibility and self-discipline. “The teaching of these traits will be a deliberate effort to help the students understand and hear about efforts of those who have come forward to help others,” Green said. “We should demonstrate these traits at work, at home and in the community.” The district also launched the One Million Books campaign in which each student will be challenged to read 14 books this year.

ARCHDALE – Oak-Wood Furniture Galleries Inc., a business that operated out of the Thomasville Business Park for several years, is settling into a new location in Archdale. Larry and Diane Huskey, who own Thomasville Business Park and OakWood Furniture Galleries, reached an agreement last year with Old Dominion Freight Lines for the company to purchase Oak-Wood’s 160,000-square-foot building on 18 acres in the Thomasville Business Park, located off Don Truell Lane. Oak-Wood Furniture Galleries recently moved back into a building that Larry Huskey built 15 years ago at 3800 Comanche Drive in Archdale. The Huskeys still own 40 acres in the Thomasville Business Park. “We opened the retail part, and, of course, we went about it in a big way,” Diane Huskey said. “We had a lot there, but after about five years or so, we decided that we were getting toward retirement age. We are tired of working 80 hours a week. We wanted to work about 40 and have weekends and that kind of thing, so we

Old Dominion trucking just bought the building just recently and gave us 90 days to move.” In Thomasville, OakWood Furniture Galleries operated bicycle, jewelry,

furniture and cosmetic galleries. The business is now moving away from the retail side by liquidating all of its retail items, with the Huskeys planning to go back to what it originally started out with several

years ago – serving as a distributor for furniture companies. Although Oak-Wood Furniture Galleries is moving toward just being a distributor, it is currently filling orders from last year. Last

week, Diane Huskey said the business had about 20 to 30 orders to fill. Oak-Wood Furniture Galleries’ new phone number in Archdale is 861-6733.

Frank Deal

Ernest E. Proctor THOMASVILLE – Ernest Elzaphan Proctor, affectionately known as “Ernie”, was more than a memory-he was a living presence. Being a gentle giant of a human being for his family and all who knew him, Ernest possessed a solid foundation in Christ who lived in his heart. God was the Master of his life, everpresent in his calms and storms. Born December 4, 1935, to Bascom and Bertha Jones Proctor, Ernest knew in the 7th grade that his childhood sweetheart, Carrie Jean Kennedy, would have to slow down so he could “catch” her. The couple married on June 18, 1954, and devoted their lives to one another for 55 years. Ernest’s love of family magnified itself in three children, Rick Proctor and wife Melody, Steve Proctor, and Annette Proctor Poole and husband Robert (Bob). His spirit will live on in the lives of two loving grandchildren, Andrew Proctor and Megan Proctor. Ernest’s siblings include his brother, the late Gorrell Proctor and wife Kathy and a sister, Grace Powell and husband Harrell. Upon graduation from Hasty High School in 1954, Ernest worked at Silver Knit Hosiery, Old Dominion Freight Lines, Western Carloading, and Fredrickson Motor Express. His retirement from management in the trucking industry in 1997 was only the beginning of Ernest’s influence upon the lives of others. In retirement, he delivered flowers and safely drove children and adults to their destinations. Ernest spent 13 years driving for the Davidson County Schools; his dedication and safety record earned him the title of Bus Driver of the Year in 2005-2006. The Wesleyan

Transportation Ministries was graced by his talents for 12 years. Mr. Ernest was particularly fond of his precious fouryear olds and always referred to them as his “babies”. An active member of Zion United Church of Christ, Ernest Proctor was committed to his faith. His 45 years of perfect attendance was evidence of God’s love in our troubled world. Like David, Ernest was a man after God’s own heart who lived his passion to obey God and trust in Him. A servant of humility, he was an inspiration to all. Deep gratitude is extended to Dr. George Sanders, Dr. Paul Coughlin, Dr. Sam Woods, and the staff at the High Point Cancer Center; to Mitchell Snow for the “private concerts” that helped ease his pain; and to the friends and family too numerous to name. A funeral service will be held on Thursday, January 28, 2010, at 3:00 p.m. at Zion United Church of Christ with Rev. James Simonds, Rev. Allen West, and Rev. George Fidler officiating. Interment will follow in the church cemetery. Mr. Proctor will remain at the J.C. Green & Sons Funeral Home in Wallburg until taken to the church 30 minutes prior to the service. The family will be at the funeral home in Wallburg on Wednesday from 6:00 – 8:30 p.m.. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be directed to HOSPICE of the Piedmont, 1801 Westchester Drive, High Point, NC 27262 and to Zion UCC, 130 Hasty School Road, Thomasville, NC 27360. In one instant on January 26, 2010, Ernest Proctor was completely healed and stepped into eternity with his Heavenly Father. Mr. Ernest, “May flights of angels take thee to thy rest.” On-line condolences may be sent to www.jcgreenandsons.com.

Girl despairs over tense relationship with mom

ear Abby: I am a 16-year-old girl and I fight with my mother almost daily. It makes me sad and upset all the time, and I don’t know what to do. The last fight we had was over something so dumb I don’t even know why I dragged it out for so long. I said things I didn’t mean – things that were hurtful and cruel. No child should ever treat a parent like I treat my mom. I take her love and kindness for granted, and never tell her how much I really do appreciate her. What I said to her in anger made her cry. How can I tell or show my mom how sorry I am and how much I love her and admire her, and how can I stop myself from exploding and saying things to her that I don’t mean? – Upset in Indiana

Dear Upset: The most direct way to make amends would be to hug your ADVICE mom and apologize Dear for flying Abby off the ■■■handle and saying things you didn’t mean. Tell her you love her and will try hard to do better because you are ashamed of your behavior and know it wasn’t justified. It’s important to understand that the average person can experience frustration that leads to anger multiple times a day. Anger is a normal emotion. The challenge that everyone faces is how not to deny the feeling,

but to express it in ways that are productive for ourselves and not hurtful to others. One way to accomplish this is recognizing what pushes our buttons. What provoked you? Were you under pressure? Or were you angry about something else so you “dumped� on an innocent party (in this case, your mom) because she was handy? One of the unhealthiest ways to deal with anger is to deny or repress it. However, because most of us have been trained from early childhood to suppress anger, many of us need to learn to express it appropriately. DEAR ABBY is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Answer to yesterday’s question: True. “And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.� (Daniel 12:3) Today’s Bible question: In Daniel 12 what shall be increased as many run to and fro in the last days?

hen James Berry describes his grandmother, two words come to mind: “strict� and “stern.� In fact, he never called her “Grandma.� Instead, her grandchildren called her “Mrs. Berry.� For young James, Mrs. Berry was the dominate presence in his home. His parents went to work early and came ABOVE home shortAND ly before BEYOND dinner. “I believe Patty Jo I would have Sawvel strayed if I ■■■would have come home from school to an empty house. But, with Mrs. Berry always there, I didn’t dare get into mischief,� James said. Instead, as soon as he came in, he had a snack then sat right down to do his homework. Only then could he go out to play ball. One time, when he was playing ball, James broke a window. Instead of handling the discipline herself, Mrs. Berry wisely told James that he’d have to tell his father. James waited on the front lawn and feared the worst. His father, however, surprised him. “Instead of punishing me, my father helped me repair the window. He showed me how to make it right. So after that, when I broke windows delivering papers, I always went up to the house, explained what I did, and then went back and fixed it,� James said. Mrs. Berry also taught James the value of work. “I watched the amount of work that Mrs. Berry put into her cakes and realized that’s what it takes to get the best results,� James said. When James was 10, Mrs. Berry took a part-time job at the hospital as a sitter. “I could see how excited she was to go to work (at age 64). She really liked meeting people and helping people, and it put a purpose back in her life. It helped me realize that work is a good thing,� James said. In the Berry household, everyone was expected to go to church. One Sunday, something unexpected happened. As 8-year-old James sat quietly in his suit in the pew, he heard Mrs. Berry lean over and whisper to his mother, “That boy’s my pride and joy.� It was the closest thing to “I love you� that James ever heard from Mrs. Berry. “It meant so much to me that I still remember it 48 years later,� James said. James also recalls that Mrs. Berry read her Bible daily. He incorporated this into his life years later, when he married his wife, Martha, and became father to two sons, Jim and John, and he traces the habit directly to Mrs. Berry. Sadly, Mrs. Berry passed away suddenly, when James was just 20. However, memories of her life and lessons live on as he fondly remembers her as strict, stern and caring.

Daughter blames mother for global warming D

ear Dr. Donohue: My daughter has accused me of not caring about the environment. She complains that I flatulate more often than most individuals. Furthermore, she claims that the gas an individual passes contributes to global warming. Thus, she says that my passing of wind shows no concern for the environment. I don’t know if I am physically able to keep my gas to myself in order to go green. Is my daughter really right? – Anon.

Is your daughter for real? No human can stop the production of intestinal gas. We have little control over it. Every human passes gas, including your daughter. People do so from 10 to 20 times a day. Colon bacteria are responsible for gas production. They feast on foods we don’t digest, and gas is a byproduct of their feasting. The major gases in colon-produced gas are nitrogen, carbon dioxide, methane and hydrogen. Traces of sulfur-containing gases are responsible for its unpleasant odor. Greenhouse gases – the gases that blanket the Earth and warm it, the way greenhouse glass does for a greenhouse – include carbon dioxide, methane, nitrogen and fluorocarbons. Most of

the carbon dioxide that contributes to greenhouse effect comes from the use HEALTH of fossil fuels – gas, Dr. Paul oil, gasoDonohue line and ■■■ coal. The majority of methane gas that adds to the greenhouse effect is derived from livestock, coal mining, drilling for oil and from garbage landfills. Carbon dioxide is the byproduct of many industrial processes. If your daughter is truly worried over your contribution to the greenhouse effect, she should realize that her breathing contributes a significant amount of carbon dioxide to it. She blows out carbon dioxide with each exhalation. Humans contribute more than 30 billion tons of carbon dioxide to the yearly production of this greenhouse gas. No one suggests we stop breathing. If your daughter is serious, she needs to understand this phenomenon better. Dear Dr. Donohue: Will you please give your opinion on an infection beneath the female breasts? Could it be a yeast infection or an allergic reaction to under-

wear elastic or to saccharin? How is it treated? – B.M.

The red, raw skin on the underside of the breast and the opposing chest skin is due to moisture and heat, which, in turn, provide an environment that facilitates the growth of the yeast candida. This skin often cracks and scales. You have to work to get rid of the problem. For 15 minutes, apply compresses soaked in Burrow’s solution to the involved skin three times a day. You can find Burrow’s solution in almost every drugstore. The compress can be an old towel or a washcloth. After applying the compresses, gently dry the skin. You can use a blow dryer if you’re careful not to burn yourself. Then apply a cream, ointment or gel that works for candida. Miconazole (Micatin, Zeasorb-AF) is an example. No prescription is required. It takes two to three weeks before you see results. Once the skin heals, continue this treatment for one more week. Then use a dusting powder daily.

Tuesday Mark Kerrigan has been sent to Bridgewater State Hospital for a psychological evaluation. Daniel Kerrigan’s wife, Brenda Kerrigan, told the Boston Herald her husband died of a heart attack. The death comes as the national spotlight again turns to one of the most popular sports in the upcoming Olympics, just weeks away.

STOCKTON, Calif. (AP) – Actor Kiefer Sutherland was among cattle customers roped into an alleged scam that netted more than a million dollars. Prosecutors say Michael Wayne Carr of Linden had agreements to buy steers in Mexico for his customers and sell them for profit in the United States. Carr allegedly took $869,000 from Sutherland, star of the Fox TV show “24,” and $177,000 from a New Mexico couple.

At his arraignment on Monday, the son, 45-year-old Mark Kerrigan, repeatedly rubbed the knuckles of his handcuffed hands and pleaded not guilty to assaulting 70-year-old Daniel Kerrigan at the family’s home in the Boston suburb of Stoneham.

Raiders whip Warriors in PAC6 battle

BY JASON QUEEN SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

TRINITY – After his team’s second technical foul late in the first half, T. Wingate Andrews boys coach James Abell had to spend the rest of the game at Wheatmore on Tuesday seated on the bench. He could have gone to the bus and it wouldn’t have mattered. The first-year Warriors, missing three starters, had no answers on either end of the floor for the Red Raiders’ defensive intensity and quickness. Andrews built a huge early lead and coasted to a 79-32 PAC 6 2A win that improved the team to 4-1 in the conference, 9-6 overall. Abell didn’t have to work too hard on the sidelines, standing or sitting, because of his team’s execution. “We felt if we could bring the same energy that we have the last few games, we could get out early,” he said. “That was our goal. We didn’t want to take a chance of being on the road

and letting them have a chance to get a few open looks early.” The Raiders certainly met that goal, racing to a 12-0 lead in the opening moments. With the already thin Warriors down three starters, that lead might as well have been 100. Andrews led 21-8 after one quarter and extended that to 44-17 at the half. The Raiders maintained a cushion near 40 for most of the second half. “Two are out injured and one’s on suspension,” Wheatmore coach David Spell said. “That hurts, especially when you don’t have but seven anyway. But we don’t know if we’re gonna get those guys back or not, so we’ve got to learn to play without people.” Alex Smith led a balanced attack for Andrews, scoring all of his game-high 25 points in the first three quarters. Mark Johnson poured in 19 and Torian Showers added 12. Brett Ozment led Wheatmore, which fell to 2-3 in the league and 6-12 overall.

Defense sparks Andrews rally BY JASON QUEEN SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

TRINITY – Down 7-0 midway through the first quarter, T. Wingate Andrews’ girls found themselves in a tough defensive struggle at Wheatmore. No problem. The Raiders turned to a swarming press and ran away with a 47-37 victory in PAC 6 2A action on Tuesday night. With the win, the suddenly redhot Red Raiders moved to 4-1 in the league, 6-10 overall. Sequaya Jackson and Bria Byrd were the primary benefactors of Andrews’ increased effort on the defensive end, reaping the rewards with several easy transition baskets that started with steals in the backcourt. Jackson finished with 15 points and Byrd added 13. “We thought if we came in with intensity on defense, our press could give them some problems,” Andrews coach Weaver Walden said. “There were a couple periods where we got a little stagnant, but for

the most part we executed our press pretty well.” On the flip side, Wheatmore coach Chad Ellington wasn’t disappointed with his team’s effort. He just wished the Warriors could get more shots to fall. “We are so streaky,” Ellington said. “I don’t know how many shots we had inside eight feet, and we just couldn’t knock them down.” Wheatmore fell to 2-3 in the league, 6-10 overall. Courtney Rains paced the Warriors with 11 points despite missing most of the first half with foul trouble. Trailing 7-0, Jackson finally put the Raiders on the board with 4:27 left in the first quarter. That sparked a 12-2 run that swung the momentum and Andrews never trailed again. The Raiders led 20-13 at the half, while the Warriors fought back to tie it at 26 late in the third with a 9-0 run of their own. But Andrews slowly pulled away in the fourth quarter and made just enough free throws down the stretch to hang on.

Devils, Seminoles get defensive BY BRYAN STRICKLAND ENTERPRISE DURHAM BUREAU

DURHAM — Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski and Florida State’s Leonard Hamilton agree that the Atlantic Coast Conference is as balanced in basketball as it’s been in recent memory. But when their teams clash tonight (9 p.m., ESPN), they’ll both bring the kind of defensive approach capable of knocking any opponent off balance. The eighth-ranked Blue Devils, fresh off holding Clemson to 47 points at Littlejohn Coliseum, host a Florida State team that leads the nation in field-goal percentage defense in a matchup of two-loss ACC teams. “They’re very difficult to score against in the halfcourt,” Krzyzewski said. “I think they’re one of the outstanding defensive teams in the country.” “Leonard has done that

every year with his team. Leonard’s teams are very, very sound defensively, and this team has not just shotblocking but also incredible length.” Tonight’s meeting will be the first between the teams since Duke downed FSU 7969 for the 2009 ACC Tournament title. Behind complete guard Toney Douglas, the Seminoles reached the finals for the first time in school history.. Gone to graduation is Douglas, a scoring machine and defensive dynamo, but the defensive identity he helped create is alive and well. The Seminoles (15-4, 32 ACC) feature one of the top shot blockers in the nation in 7-footer Solomon Alabi and also one of the nation’s most versatile defenders in Chris Singleton. At 6-9, 227 pounds and with No. 31 across his chest, Singleton sports some similarities to former Duke star

Shane Battier, a two-time national defensive player of the year. Battier, Christian Laettner and former Wake Forest standout Josh Howard are the only players in ACC history to finish a season ranked in the top five in both steals and blocked shots. Singleton currently leads the league in steals and ranks fourth in blocked shots. “Chris obviously played in the post in high school, and now we’ve given him an opportunity to develop his skills on the perimeter,” Hamilton said. “He’s athletic and plays hard and is long, so he’s used his Godgiven talents to the best of his ability. “Now his skills seem to be catching up with his athleticism.” Singleton and Alibi have helped the Seminoles hold opponents to 35.5-percent shooting on average.

P

erhaps the USTA should ask the Australians to change the name of their national tennis championship tourna-

ment. Let me explain why. Andy Roddick was the only U.S. man to advance past the fourth round at this year’s Aussie Open. But that’s not unprecedented. American men have historically found the going rough on the singles courts Down Under. From 1905-26, when the event was called the Australasian Championships, Fred Alexander in 1908 was the only Yank to capture the crown. Granted, not many American men could

afford to take the trip in those days. The event was renamed the Australian Championships in 1927 and kept that name until 1968. In 39 installments, just three Americans claimed the title – Don Budge in ‘38, Dick Savitt in ‘51 and Alex Olmedo in ‘59. The cost of travel still limited the number of U.S. entries in the field, but 3 for 39 is not a great percentage under any circumstances. Things improved dramatically for the Red, White and Blue when the event became the Australian Open in 1969. American men captured 14 singles titles between 1970-2003. Arthur Ashe started the strong U.S. run in 1970, followed by Jimmy Connors in ‘74, Roscoe Tanner and Vitas

Gerulaitis in ‘77 (they held two Aussie Opens that calendar year), Brian Teacher in ‘80, Johan Kriek in ‘82, Jim Courier in ‘92-93, Pete Sampras in ‘94 and ‘97, and Andre Agassi in ‘95, 2000, ‘01 and ‘03. The U.S. has been shut out since. In fact, no American man has reached the final since Agassi’s last triumph. I’m thinking a new name will spark renewed U.S. success. The Kangaroo Court Championships or Tennis By The BarBee may not make it, but I’m sure we could come up with something. Just a thought and g’day, mates!

Once Billy Beane received positive word on Ben Sheets’ throwing session last week, the Oakland general manager pounced. The pitcher’s agent had an impressive offer in hand from the Athletics practically by the time Sheets was done icing down his arm afterward. It was merely an hour later. Oakland took a mighty gamble Tuesday on Sheets, agreeing to terms with the free-agent righty on a $10 million, one-year contract only 11 months after he underwent elbow surgery that sidelined him all of last season. A four-time All-Star, the 31year-old Sheets becomes the team’s secondhighest paid player behind sixtime Gold Glove third baseman Eric Chavez. “We were either going to get him with what we had or we weren’t, and we had to be aggressive about it,” Beane said. Manager Bob Geren immediately called Sheets his ace.

Lakers solve road woes, batter Wizards THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — The Los Angeles Lakers broke out of their road funk by showing the distracted Washington Wizards what hustling, focused, never-let-up basketball is all about, shooting 59 percent and forcing six turnovers during a crucial second-quarter run in a 115-103 win Tuesday night.

Pau Gasol and Kobe Bryant scored 26 points apiece for the Lakers, who had lost six of their previous eight road games and pulled to a 2-2 record midway through their current eight-game swing. Lamar Odom said before the game that the reigning NBA champs had become “a little too overconfident,” but it didn’t show as he and teammates chased down loose balls

and kept their hands all over the passing lanes. Antawn Jamison scored 27 points to lead the Wizards, who lost the last four games of a six-game homestand. The game came one day after guard Javaris Crittenton received probation after pleading guilty to a misdemeanor gun charge, the latest fallout from last month’s locker room confrontation between Crittenton

and Gilbert Arenas. The Lakers took over a tight game with a 20-7 half-ending run that included Wizards turnovers of every kind. Shannon Brown stole the ball from DeShawn Stevenson, Andray Blatche traveled, Mike Miller and Mike James threw bad passes, the shot clock expired, and Brendan Haywood committed an offensive foul with 2.5 seconds left

in the quarter.

KNICKS 132, TIMBERWOLVES 105 NEW YORK — David Lee had 28 points and 10 rebounds, and the New York Knicks rebounded from a lopsided beating by administering one, routing the Minnesota Timberwolves 132-105 on Tuesday night. Al Harrington scored 26 and Wilson Chandler had

20 despite a strained left groin for the Knicks, who were dealt the worst home loss in franchise history when Dallas beat them 128-78 on Sunday. New York was on the other end this time. New York had its highest point total of the season and ended a two-game losing streak, becoming the third team in NBA history to win by 20 or more the game after losing by 50.

Terps take over top spot THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

COLLEGE PARK, Md. – Greivis Vasquez and Landon Milbourne each scored 16 points, and Maryland pounced on Miami at the outset Tuesday in an 81-59 rout that gave the Terrapins sole possession of first place in the Atlantic Coast Conference. Maryland (14-5, 4-1) scored the game’s first six points, increased the margin to 21 just before halftime and cruised to its fourth straight win. Eric Hayes and Sean Mosley had 10 points apiece, and Vasquez had nine assists.

The victory pushed the surprising Terrapins a half-game ahead of Virginia in the ACC. Durand Scott scored 13 for last-place Miami (15-5, 1-5). The Hurricanes committed 14 turnovers and took only 16 shots in the pivotal first half.

BOSTON COLLEGE 75, CLEMSON 69 BOSTON – Reggie Jackson scored 18 points and dished out seven assists to lead Boston College to a win over suddenly slumping Clemson on Tuesday. Corey Raji had 14 points and Rakim Sanders added

11 for Boston College (129, 3-4 ACC), which shot 56 percent from the field. Trevor Booker led the Tigers (15-6, 3-4) with 19 points and eight rebounds. Raji’s jumper from the left wing gave the Eagles a 58-47 edge with just under 8 minutes to play, but the Tigers stayed close and finally made a late run, closing it to 66-60 on Tanner Smith’s free throw with 2:18 left. Cortney Dunn had a put-back for BC, and Jackson hit 6 of 6 free-throw attempts in the closing 33.9 seconds to seal the win.

49ers f inally having fun

CHARLOTTE (AP) – Charlotte coach Bobby Lutz sat at his desk Tuesday and defended last season’s injury-plagued, poor-shooting, 11-win team, noting the 49ers never quit and still beat Atlantic 10 heavyweights Xavier and Dayton. Lutz then paused for a moment and smiled. “It’s obviously much more fun to win,� he said. “We’re more talented. We have more options. We’ve got a great nucleus for the next couple of years.� The 49ers (14-5, 4-1) hope to continue

their brisk turnaround today when No. 15 Temple visits in an unlikely matchup to determine first place in the A-10. “To have three new guys be our three leading scorers, I think that’s not an easy thing to do,� Lutz said. “It’s come together pretty nicely.� Boston College transfer Shamari Spears is using his Charles Barkley-like moves to average 16.9 points. Freshman Chris Braswell is grabbing nine rebounds a game and junior college transfer Derrio Green is averaging 12 points.

ohn Andretti did it once and then failed to do it again for another four years. Jeff Green couldn’t do it. Bobby Labtone couldn’t do it. Reed Sorenson couldn’t do it. Now it is AJ Allmendinger’s turn at getting a crack at returning the No. 43 made famous by Richard Petty to victory lane. As a Californian who hasn’t produced many waves in three Cup seasons since moving over from open-wheel cars, Allmendinger seems the oddest fit with stock-car racing legend Petty since open-wheel graduate Andretti. The new pairing is the result of what was Gillett-Evernham Racing consuming what was Petty Enterprises and becoming Richard Petty Motorsports after the 2009 season. For a brief time, Gillett had Allmendinger signed to replace holdover driver Elliott Sadler until Sadler threatened legal action. RPM stuck Allmendinger in a car for what started out as a five-race deal. But, Allmendinger finished third in the Daytona 500 in the first start with the team and continued to impress so much that Petty wound up putting him in a car for the remainder of the season. When it came time to decide which drivers to keep in a merger with Yates Racing and switch to Ford, Petty put Allmendinger in the No. 43 and showed Sorenson the door. “He’s pretty aggressive,� said Petty’s cousin Dale Inman, a former crew chief who remains involved with RPM’s operations. “We’ve watched him before. He works well with the media and that doesn’t take care of everything on the race track, but it helps. And, he’s just a likeable little cuss.� Petty personally gave Allmendinger the news that he had been selected to drive the No. 43. “For him to come up and say ‘I want you to be my driver’ is such an honor,� Allmendinger said. “I’m going to try to repay him by working as hard as I can and winning as many races as I can. He’s done so much for the sport, but he’s done so much for me, I’m going to try to repay him as much as I can.� Allmendinger feels indebted because he very well could be an open-wheel guy who washed out in stock-car racing if it were not for Petty. Chosen as a rookie to drive for the startup Team Red Bull in 2007, he lasted only two seasons – struggling to qualify to the point that he was taken out of the car briefly in 2008 while Mike Skinner helped get the team and Allmendinger on the right track. “The King has been so good in the last year, bringing me on board and then doing whatever to keep me racing,� Allmendinger said. “I owe all

this to him to keep me in the sport and keep me going. Hopefully, I showed them something with my determination to do whatever it took to stay in the race car.� Even though he comes SPORTS from a non-stock-car racing background, AllGreer mendinger is well aware Smith of Petty’s storied past in ■■■the No. 43. “To have the 43 on the side, it’s not pressure – it’s tradition and it’s an honor,� Allmendinger said. “I feel it’s a privilege.� His struggles have been such that he considers just having a ride as one of his major accomplishments. He failed to qualify 17 times in 36 races in 2007, and three more times in 2008. His third place at Daytona remains his only topfive finish in 80 starts. “There were times (at Red Bull) that I wanted to quit, that it was too hard and I didn’t want to do it,� Allmendinger said. “This time last year, I didn’t even have a ride and barely made media day. Then, I only had five to eight races. I felt like the resources we had and the lack of money with that car, I felt we had a pretty good year.� Allmendinger finished the year on an upswing, putting together two 10thplace finishes and a 13th in the last three races as he drove Fords as part of RPM’s change from Dodges. The improvement after the change of makes, coupled with part of an organization that scored two wins with Kasey Kahne last year and now has a technical alliance with Ford powerhouse Roush Fenway Racing, has Allmendinger believing he can do that consistently. “Last year in the last three races, we were consistently in the top 10,� Allmendinger said. “I look at it as what we have to do this year. We’ve got to be at least on the edge of the top 10 and keep getting better, run in the top five. And the more you run in the top five, then the more opportunities you have to win. “Kasey got The King back in victory lane. That was exciting. But, I want to put him back in victory lane with his own number. I know how much it means to him, and I know how much it means to me.� The team has full sponsorship and Ford’s support, which on the surface puts Allmendinger in better shape than the No. 43’s other drivers in recent years. Now, he has to prove that Petty was right, that he has the ability to become a winning NASCAR racer.

Haas f inally lives up to pedigree

LA QUINTA, Calif. (AP) – Bill Haas’ hands were frigid and shaking when he stepped up to his second shot on the 90th hole, knowing he probably needed a birdie to win his first PGA Tour title at the Bob Hope Classic after 140 fruitless starts. A $900,000 check and a Masters exemption were riding on this tense finish to a marathon tournament Monday. Haas even figured his famous father might be watching somewhere in the gallery, although he wasn’t sure. It was all a recipe for panic, but Haas cooked up something remarkable instead. “It was the most nervous I’ve ever been,� Haas said. “I’ve been nervous over 3-footers to finish fifth, but it was different knowing that if I executed this shot, it could mean the difference (between) winning or finishing fifth.� So he warmed his hands, steadied his will and nailed an aggressive approach shot on the 18th after his two co-leaders failed to do it. He then two-putted to a one-stroke victory, putting his name in Hope Classic lore alongside his father and finally doing what’s been expected from the talented son of Jay Haas since shortly after he picked up a golf club. Haas hugged his father after hitting a perilous 1-footer to finish one stroke

Nobody was more impressed than Jay Haas, who benefited from the rain that washed out Thursday’s second round at the Hope Classic and pushed the finale to Monday. The 1988 Hope Classic winner was able to make it back to the mainland from his Champions Tour event in Hawaii in time to see his son in competition for the first time in about two years. “To win the same tournament I won is special, and then for me to get to see it – that’s really special,� said Jay Haas, who texted his son on Sunday night with a simple message: “Hit when you’re ready, and never before.� But Bill Haas didn’t charge in front until the final hole after a backstretch battle with four players – three seeking their first Tour victories.

Australia special for Henin

Knee injury stops Nadal

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) – Andy Murray had been warned about the fireworks, the crackle and dazzling burst of color that lights the sky to mark Australia Day celebrations. So the pyrotechnics came as no surprise in the second set against defending champion Rafael Nadal. What he didn’t expect was the fizzle at the end. Nadal quit their quarterfinal while trailing 6-3, 7-6 (2), 3-0 Tuesday night, not long after he’d taken a medical timeout to treat his right knee. His concession came five games and a tiebreaker after he tripped and fell following the fireworks delay at Rod Laver Arena. Andy Roddick also needed a medical timeout – after the first set of his earlier match against No. 14 Marin Cilic. His sore right shoulder was making his fingers numb. Roddick played on for another four sets. But, like Nadal, he was gone in the quarterfinals. Cilic advanced 7-6 (4), 6-3, 3-6, 2-6, 6-3 and will meet Murray in the semifinals. Murray was convinced he would have beaten Nadal even if the match had gone the distance. He’s also confident of overturning his last result against

Cilic – a loss at the U.S. Open – and reaching his second Grand Slam final. “When the big moments came in the match, I thought I dictated what happened,� Murray said. “From my side, I played really well and deserved to be up when the match was stopped.� Nadal tweaked his knee in the 11th game of a second set that had already been interrupted for nine minutes by fireworks. Both players had been told in advance about the break, although both took time to readjust to match conditions. Nadal’s fall six games later sent a murmur around the stadium, but he eased concern by playing a shot by instinct as he sat near the baseline. Murray won that point, but Nadal held serve in the game and celebrated with a flurry of wild, double-arm pumps as if he’d won a final. He didn’t show any outward signs of being hurt until calling for a medical timeout while serving at 0-1 and 15-all in the third set. He took a three-minute break while the trainer worked on his right knee. He played only 13 more points before walking to the net and shaking Murray’s hand.

Rafael Nadal receives medical treatment during his quarterfinal match against Andy Murray in the Australian Open on Tuesday. Nadal later quit because of a knee injury. Nadal said he didn’t want to risk long-term damage. Knee tendinitis sidelined him for long periods last season, preventing him from defending

his Wimbledon title. “Is not a lot of history because was during the match ... in the end of the second set in one drop,� Nadal said. “And I felt sim-

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) – Justine Henin considers Melbourne Park the perfect spot to resume her career because of the enthusiasm of the crowds. “I love to play here,� said Henin, who won the Australian Open in 2004 and advanced to the semifinals Tuesday. “Like I said many times, the Australian people, they have the culture of the sport. They really know about tennis. They live tennis in January. Everyone’s watching. We can feel this atmosphere.� She admitted that she had some unpleasant memories – including her loss in the 2008 quarterfinals to eventual champion Maria Sharapova. A few months later, Henin retired from tennis. In her second tournament back, the seventime Grand Slam singles winner advanced to the semifinals by defeating Nadia Petrova 7-6 (3), 7-5. “I’m here again in the last four. It’s just much more than what I could expect, and the dream continues,� she said. “I think it was the best place for me to start again.�

Olympic organizers deal with lack of snow

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) – The Winter Olympics are coming to Vancouver in three weeks. The snow has no such timetable. Cypress Mountain, the venue for snowboarding and freestyle skiing events, is bare and muddy in parts. It closed to the public two and a half weeks earlier than planned due to unseasonably warm and wet weather.

The head of the Canadian Freestyle Ski Association said Tuesday organizers are using contingency plans due to the lack of snow for freestyle and snowboarding events. “They’re kind of in crisis mode,� Peter Judge said. However, Judge is confident snowboarding and freestyle skiing events will proceed.The mountain had 11 inches of new

snow at higher elevations on Monday, said Environment Canada meteorologist Matt MacDonald. He said it’s part of a cooling trend after a wet month. “We had an extremely wet and warm January,� MacDonald said. “When it was raining through last week, everyone was freaking out, for sure.� Freezing temperatures are expected at the base of Cypress this weekend, he

said. “It looks like the bad weather, Olympic-wise, is done with,� he said. MacDonald said recent warm weather is attributed to El Nino and, to a lesser degree, to what locals call “pineapple express� weather patterns. Both bring warm weather and rain from the Pacific to the west coast of North America. Cypress provides stunning views of Vancouver and the Pacific.

But organizers are using wood and hay bales as a base for courses there. That will be covered with stockpiled natural and man-made snow brought in by truck or snowcat from higher elevations. Helicopters are also being used to move materials. Organizing committee spokeswoman Mary Fraser confirmed contingency work is under way and competition will pro-

Business tax credit draws skepticism

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama’s push to create jobs includes a new tax credit for small businesses that add employees, an idea that fell flat in Congress last year and continues to have skeptics this year. The idea has appeal as the nation struggles with an unemployment rate topping 10 percent. But House Democrats left out Obama’s proposal when they passed a jobs bill in December because they didn’t know how to target the credit effectively. The administration still hasn’t provided details on how the tax credit would work, and some tax experts question whether it would.

Consumer confidence rises CHICAGO (AP) – Americans’ confidence in the economy improved modestly in January for the third straight month, as they begin to feel slightly better about business conditions and the job picture, according to a survey released Tuesday. The Conference Board’s Consumer Confidence Index increased to 55.9 – the highest in more than a year but still relatively gloomy. That compares with 53.6 in December. January’s index was bet-

ter than the expected 53.5 forecast by economists. Economists watch confidence numbers closely because consumer spending accounts for about 70 percent of U.S. economic activity. It takes a reading of 90 to indicate an economy on solid footing and 100 or more to indicate growth. The new figures still don’t point to an end to the nation’s economic woes any time soon. “Consumers’ short-term outlook, while moderately more positive, does not sug-

gest any significant pickup in activity in the coming months,” Lynn Franco, director of The Conference Board’s Consumer Research Center, said in a statement. Tuesday’s figures are based on a survey of 5,000 households by the private research group. Capital Economics analyst Paul Dales said Americans’ sentiments are well below the Index’s historic average of 95. “In other words, despite the fact the economy prob-

ably grew at an annualized rate in excess of 5 percent in the fourth quarter, the labor market appears to be on the cusp of generating net employment gains, interest rates are at record lows and the rally in equities remains largely intact, confidence remains incredibly depressed,” Dales wrote in a research note. “This all suggests the legacy of the recession will live long in the mindset of consumers.” While consumers were less dire about their income prospects, “pessimists con-

Ford to bring 1,200 jobs to Chicago

CHICAGO – Union leaders are thanking Ford Motor Co. for bringing jobs to Chicago, where the next generation of the Explorer SUV will be built. The new work means 1,200 jobs at the assembly plant on Chicago’s South Side and a nearby stamping plant. But Ford and union officials on Tuesday said it’s too soon to know how many of those workers would come from layoff lists at other plants and how many new hires might be paid a second-tier wage.

Nucor 4Q profit falls 44 percent

CHARLOTTE – Nucor on Tuesday said its fourth-quarter earnings tumbled 44 percent, as the steelmaker dealt with soft demand for construction products. Earnings for the threemonth period ended Dec. 31 fell to $58.9 million, or 18 cents per share. The company earned $105.9 million, or 34 cents per share, during the same period last year.

World markets get a boost

LONDON – European and U.S. stock markets rose Tuesday after upbeat U.S. corporate earnings and a stronger than anticipated consumer confidence survey offset worries that had gripped investors earlier in the day. In Europe, Germany’s DAX closed up 37.56 points, or 0.7 percent, to 5,668.93 while France’s CAC-40 rose 25.19 points, or 0.7 percent, to 3,807.04. The FTSE 100 index of leading British shares ended 16.54 points, or 0.3 percent, higher at 5,276.85. ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

tinues to outnumber the optimists,” Franco said. Job security is a vital part of how Americans view the economy. Those who feel better about their jobs feel more comfortable spending money, which in turn fuels the nation’s economy. That means without a meaningful and steady increase in Americans’ faith that their paychecks will keep coming, and in turn a pickup in spending, there’s unlikely to be any strong revival in the economy.

Home prices continue to climb MIAMI (AP) – Home prices rose for the sixth straight month in November, fueled by tax credits for homebuyers. The Standard & Poor’s/ Case-Shiller 20-city home price index released Tuesday inched up 0.2 percent to a seasonally adjusted reading of 145.49. The index was off 5.3 percent from November last year, nearly matching analysts’ estimates that it would fall by 5.1 percent. The index is now up more

than 3 percent from its bottom in May, but still 30 percent below its peak in May 2006. Rising prices are important to the economic recovery because they make homeowners feel wealthier and lead them to spend more money. Consumer confidence rose for the third straight month in January, reaching its highest level in more than a year, the Conference Board said Tuesday. Price increases also help

restore home equity for the one-in-four homeowners who currently owe more on their mortgages than their homes are worth. Inaresearchnote,Deutsche Bank analyst Joseph LaVorgna wrote that current price trends could lead to a $1 trillion year-over-year increase in homeowner equity by the first quarter of this year. Karl Case, a co-creator of the index, pointed to signs of stability that were in stark contrast to rapidly falling

prices a year ago. “Flat is good,” he said. Phoenix and San Francisco posted the highest month-tomonth gains, on a seasonally adjusted basis, while New York and Chicago had the largest declines. The tax credit for first-time homebuyers had been scheduled to end Nov. 30, but Congress extended the deadline through April, and expanded the program to include a tax credit for current homeowners.

GM to sell Saab to Spyker DETROIT (AP) – Saab got a new life Tuesday as General Motors Co. agreed to sell the Swedish car brand to the small Dutch luxury carmaker Spyker Cars NV. Under the deal, GM will get $74 million in cash plus $326 million worth of preferred shares in Saab. GM will get “other considerations,” which it did not specify. The

Swedish government is also ready to guarantee a loan of up to 4 billion kronor ($550 million) from the European Investment Bank, Industry Minister Maud Olofsson said. The deal is a coup for Spyker and a lifeline for Saab, which has lost money for years under GM’s ownership and was slated for liquida-

tion. Saab has around 3,500 employees in Sweden. But it’s also a huge challenge for Spyker, which sold only 23 cars in the first half of 2009, its most recent reporting period, and posted a net loss of €8.7 million. The 11-year-old company has yet to make a profit, but it says funding for its operations have

been guaranteed through 2010. Spyker CEO Victor Muller said in a statement that the company is happy to have saved the brand and secured the jobs of thousands of workers. “Saab is an iconic brand that we are honored to shepherd,” he said in the statement.

WASHINGTON (AP) – A House panel probing the bailout of American International Group Inc. is sharpening its questions for two Treasury secretaries and a federal investigator who believes the Federal Reserve withheld documents. Rep. Edolphus Towns, D-N.Y., said Tuesday that former Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson will appear at Wednesday’s hearing, along with current Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, Special Inspector General for the Troubled Asset Relief Program Neil Barofsky and officials from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Towns is chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. The committee is pressing for details about deals that sent billions from AIG’s bailout to big banks including Goldman Sachs Group Inc. Lawmakers want to know why the New York Fed pressed AIG to be more secretive about the “backdoor bailouts” and other aspects of AIG’s management. Geithner approved the deals, which may have cost taxpayers billions more than necessary because he did not demand concessions from banks AIG did business with, according to Barofsky’s earlier audit. In a letter to Geithner last week, California Republican Darrell Issa, the committee’s top Republican, asked for written responses to questions he has sidestepped in public statements on AIG. He asked for the specific date on which Geithner recused himself from decisions about the company, and for details about Geithner’s involvement in the decision not to name the other banks that benefited.

about 900 of the cuts stem from consolidating some support functions in its human resources, finance and other divisions. The rest come from the company closing a small-

format pilot store in Wilson, N.C.; a temporary hurricane recovery outlet in Waveland, Miss.; and a clearance outlet in Austell, Ga. Home Depot employs more than 300,000 workers.

Market slides on financial stocks

NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks gave up a healthy advance and closed slightly lower Tuesday as investors suffered another bout of anxiety over President Barack Obama’s plan to regulate banks. Uneasiness about Obama’s plan to limit the size and trading operations of big banks pulled financial stocks and then the entire market lower. News reports that Paul Volcker, the head of the President’s Economic Recovery Advisory Board, would testify before Congress next week, helped turn the market around.

The drop was the market’s fifth in seven days, and the fact that it came shortly before the closing bell showed how uneasy investors are. The Dow Jones industrial average, up 90 points in the early afternoon, closed with a loss of 2.57. The other major indexes were also down modestly. Obama’s announcement of his plan last week helped give the market its worst week in 10 months. Traders said some investors had started to regard the proposals as political bluster before the latest reports dashed those hopes.

“There is maybe more than just a bark. Maybe this thing does have a bite,” said Dan Deming, a trader with Stutland Equities in Chicago. Even banks seen as strong like JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. fell sharply. The market had climbed most of the day on upbeat economic and corporate earnings news. The Conference Board said its index of consumer confidence rose to 55.9 in January from 53.6 in December. It was the third straight increase and the highest level in

Johnson & Johnson consumer products are seen in Newark, N.J., in this April 2009 photograph.

J&J sales climb, but profit falls

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — The pain of the recession is easing just a bit for Tylenol and Band-Aid maker Johnson & Johnson, which on Tuesday reported a healthy jump in fourthquarter sales. But J&J still posted its first yearly decline in sales since the Depression, gave a disappointing 2010 profit forecast and saw its stock price fall as a result.

Profit for the OctoberDecember quarter also was down, due to sharply lower U.S. sales of some high-margin prescription drugs and a whopping charge — $1.1 billion before taxes — for its biggest restructuring ever. That program will eliminate up to 8,000 jobs, or nearly 7 percent of the New Brunswick, N.J., company’s work force. The world’s largest maker of health care

products said sales rose 9 percent to $16.55 billion, mainly due to new products and a boost of 4.5 percent from favorable currency exchange rates. But profit dropped 19 percent to $2.21 billion, or 79 cents per share — $1.02 excluding one-time items. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters on average were expecting revenue of $15.7 billion and earnings per share of 97

cents, excluding items. J&J beat that, but its profit forecast for 2010 — $4.85 to $4.95 per share, excluding one-time items and the impact of any eventual health care overhaul — was a bit lighter than analysts’ range of $4.85 to $5.06, or $4.94 on average. J&J shares fell almost $1 initially, and were down 57 cents at $62.65 in early afternoon trading.

IMF: Global FCC asks about economy recovering wireless fees

WASHINGTON (AP) — The world economy is recovering at a fasterthan-expected pace but still needs government stimulus efforts to keep it going, the International Monetary Fund said Tuesday. The IMF raised its forecast for world economic growth in 2010 to nearly 4 percent, up from an estimate of 3.1 percent last October. It expects the U.S. economy to grow by 2.7 percent this year, significantly higher than its previous forecast of 1.5 percent.

But with unemployment high in many countries and credit tight, the recovery in the United States and other advanced economies “is still expected to be weak by historical standards,” the IMF said in a quarterly update of its World Economic Outlook. In addition, the U.S. economy is growing largely because companies are restocking inventories that were cut sharply during the recession, and because of government stimulus programs.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal regulators are asking the nation’s largest wireless companies whether they give customers adequate notice about early termination fees for breaking a service contract before it expires. The Federal Communications Commission sent letters on Tuesday to AT&T Inc., Verizon Communications Inc., Sprint Nextel Corp., T-Mobile USA Inc. and Google Inc. seeking information about their approaches to early termination fees.

Among other things, the FCC is asking about the size of the fees and the rationale for them. It also wants to know whether carriers prorate such fees if a cancellation comes closer to the end of a contract and whether they offer trial periods that allow new customers to cancel service without being charged a termination fee. In addition, the FCC is asking why customers who use Google’s new Nexus One phone on the T-Mobile network have to pay early termination fees to both companies if they break a contract.

In this Feb. 1, 2007, file photo, wind and driving snow are seen on top of the highest peak in the Northeast, Mount Washington in New Hampshire. Mount Washington has lost its distinction as the site of the fastest wind gust ever recorded on Earth.

231-mph NH wind gust is no longer world’s fastest That tops the 231-mph record set atop Mount Washington on April 12, 1934. “It’s obviously a big disappointment. Having the world record for more than six decades was such a part of the soul of this organization and for fans of Mount Washington around the country,” said Scot Henley, the observatory’s executive director. The official title at issue is “highest wind gust ever recorded on the surface of the Earth by means of an anemometer.” But to most people in New Hampshire, it was simply “the Big Wind,” a source

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) – First the Old Man, now the Big Wind. New Hampshire’s Mount Washington has lost its distinction as the site of the fastest wind gust ever recorded on Earth, officials at the Mount Washington Observatory said Tuesday. The concession came three days after the World Meteorological Organization posted a snippet on its Web site saying a panel of experts reviewing extreme weather and climate data turned up a 253mph gust on Australia’s Barrow Island during Cyclone Olivia in 1996.

Blackberry Lime Cheesecake is an impressive dessert that’s always a welcome ending to a Valentine’s Day dinner.

EAT FOR A CAUSE

Cheesecake is simple, impressive BY ALISON LADMAN FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

C

heesecake isn’t a terribly difficult dessert, it just requires a bit of attention to detail. This recipe is perfect for those that love sweet-tart desserts. It has a classic graham cracker crust and a rich and creamy berry cheesecake, all topped with a sweet-tart blackberry lime curd. The recipe for the curd makes more than what you need for the cheesecake. That’s because it’s easier to make it in quantity. Leftovers are delicious on toast or waffles in place of jam, or spooned over vanilla ice cream.

Blackberry Lime Cheesecake

Start to finish: 1 1/2 hours (1 hour active), plus cooling Servings: 6

For the crust: 2/3 cup (2 ounces) graham cracker crumbs (about 5 whole crackers) 3 tablespoons butter, melted 1 tablespoon brown sugar

For the cheesecake: 16 ounce-package frozen blackberries, thawed 30 minutes at room temperature, divided 3/4 cup sugar, divided 16 ounces cream cheese (2 packages), room temperature 2 tablespoons flour 2 eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla extract For the curd: 2 eggs 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 cup lime juice Finely grated zest from 2 limes 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter, cut up Fresh blackberries and mint leaves, to garnish Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 6-inch springform pan with baking spray. In a small bowl, use a fork to combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter and brown sugar. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until golden around the edges. Set aside to cool. Leave the oven on. Reserve 2/3 cup of the semithawed blackberries. In a blender or food processor, combine the remaining blackber-

ries with 1/4 cup of the sugar. Process or blend until pureed. Strain through a fine mesh strainer to remove the seeds. Set aside the puree. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the cream cheese, remaining 1/2 cup of sugar and the flour. Mix on low until combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then mix some more. Do not mix any faster than medium-low; you don’t want to incorporate air into the mixture. Add 1 egg, mix thoroughly and scrape the bowl. Add the second egg, mix and scrape again. Add the vanilla and mix one more time. Fold 1/2 cup of the blackberry puree and the reserved whole blackberries into the batter. Transfer the batter to the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then lower the temperature of the oven to 250 degrees and bake for another 30 minutes. The top of the cheesecake should be slightly puffed and spongy-firm to the touch. It should just jiggle slightly in the center when the pan is tapped. Let cool at room temperature for 1 hour, then refrigerate until completely chilled. While the cheesecake bakes, make the blackberry-lime curd. In a medium stainless steel bowl,

combine the eggs and sugar with a whisk. Add the remaining blackberry puree, the lime juice and lime zest. Set the bowl over a medium saucepan of simmering water. The bowl should rest on the top edge of the pan without touching the water. Whisk the mixture continuously until it reaches 170 degrees. Remove from heat and add the butter, one piece at a time, whisking to combine. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the curd and refrigerate until cool. When ready to assemble the dessert, remove the springform pan sides. Run a spatula under the crust to remove the bottom of the pan. Transfer to a plate. Spoon the blackberry lime curd over the top of the cheesecake. Garnish with fresh blackberries and mint leaves and serve.

Try this easy-to-love Flourless Chocolate Cake BY ALISON LADMAN FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A

quick pulse in the food processor is all it takes to make this simple, yet decadent flourless chocolate cake. If you don’t have a food processor, you can finely chop the almonds with a knife and whisk the ingredients together in a bowl, but the texture of the cake won’t be as delicate. The cake can be baked in a small cake pan, or divided among muffin cups. To dress it up for Valentine’s Day, you also could purchase heart-shaped foil baking pans (sold at most grocers). Serve with whipped cream and fresh berries.

Flourless Chocolate Cake Start to finish: 30 minutes Servings: 6 1/2 cup sliced almonds 2 tablespoons sugar 12 ounces dark chocolate chips 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter 4 eggs Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Spritz a 6-inch cake pan or muffin tins with baking spray (a cooking spray containing flour). In a food processor, pulse the almonds and sugar until finely ground. Set aside.

In a glass bowl or measuring cup, combine the chocolate chips and butter. Microwave on high in 15-second bursts, stirring between, until melted and smooth. With the processor running, pour the chocolate mixture in and process until combined. One at a time, add the eggs, processing between each to combine. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and process one last time. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 15 to 25 minutes (depending on pan size), or until the cake is puffed and no longer glossy. Let rest in the pan until the top sinks back down, about 10 minutes. Invert onto a plate. Serve warm or at room temperature.

I spend more time kibitzing than playing (I find I make fewer errors), but you can kibitz today’s deal. South opens one heart on his rockcrusher, and when North responds 1NT, South leaps to four hearts. West’s ten of diamonds wins the first trick. On the next diamond South takes his ace and cashes the AK of trumps. Both defenders follow, so South unblocks his king of clubs, ruffs his last diamond in dummy and discards a spade on the ace of clubs. He loses two spade tricks but makes his game.

OPINION

Knowing you’re an expert, South asks you whether he handled the deal correctly. Assuming he wants an honest opinion, what do you say? South bid well, but his play was questionable. If trumps had split 3-1, he might have run into trouble. Perhaps South should win the second diamond, take the king of clubs, and then lead his last diamond, pitching a spade from dummy to avoid an overruff. He wins the trump return, leads the king of spades, and almost surely makes his game.

HOROSCOPE

CROSSWORD

Wednesday, Jan. 27, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Tamlyn Tomita, 44; Alan Cumming, 45; Bridget Fonda, 46; Cris Collinsworth, 51 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: An imaginative idea can turn into a lucrative endeavor. Focus on legal, medical and financial matters and you will avoid costly mishaps. Strength and courage will be required when dealing with personal relationships but you will overcome anything you face. An opening that offers you diversity and the chance to use your skills is apparent. Your numbers are 7, 13, 21, 26, 29, 31, 42 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Pushing for advancement may not be easy but it will be worth fighting for. Getting what you want will consume you and, although that can be good, make sure you don’t neglect your personal responsibilities. ★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20)): You will do yourself more harm than good if you get caught up in other people’s personal lives. Instead, concentrate on the things you enjoy doing most. Distance yourself from anyone who isn’t supportive. ★★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): If you don’t move swiftly, you will give people around you the wrong impression. Your inability to make a decision will reflect on how well you will do in a leadership position. An innovative idea will separate you from the crowd. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Make some personal changes. An attitude adjustment will enable you to come to an agreement with someone you share a lot of time and space with. Don’t give up what you love. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Taking life too seriously will work against you. The more exciting you make your day, the better equipped you will be to deal with people who interest you. Getting out socially will lead to a good partnership. ★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Your timing needs to be flawless. You can mix business with pleasure and get a foothold on a future position. Don’t wait for changes to come to you; go after your goals. Be a participant. ★★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Being outspoken will help you today. Once you make it clear what you are intent on pursuing, you can move forward without guilt or someone standing in your way. Love and romance should be part of your agenda. ★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The more responsible you are, the better you will feel about your accomplishments and the more you will impress the people you deal with. Make a difference in your community by being diligent in bringing about reforms. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Throw yourself into your work and making more money, not your personal life. You will run into trouble at home and if you deal someone you love and don’t want to disappoint. A business trip or conference will help you avoid difficulties and get you out of the house. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): If you believe in your talent, so will everyone around you. Lay your cards on the table and advancement and success will be yours. The more disciplined and detailed you are, the more attention you will attract. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Dealing with authority figures, institutions or large corporations will result in problems. Let people come to you, not you to them. You must take care of your responsibilities without accepting help. Someone is eager to make you look bad. ★★★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You can use emotional tactics to get what you want but be prepared to have to make a quick change of plans in order to avoid criticism. It’s best to work by yourself and avoid lending or borrowing money. ★★

ANSWER: North’s hand called for some bid. North had only five high-card points, but he held a long suit headed by an ace. South could have had A 7 5, A K Q 10 2, 6, K Q 10 4 or one of many other hands where North-South could make a slam. Moreover, North’s bid prevented East-West from entering the auction too easily.

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.
