HIGH POINT – The city is reassuring residents that their drinking water is “perfectly safe” after a public notice about a minor violation of treatment requirements raised concerns on the part of some customers. As required by law, the city last week sent about 38,000 copies of the notice to all of its water customers about an increased rate of turbidity – cloudiness that has no health effects but can interfere with the purification process – that was discovered at the Ward Water Treat-

Transportation crews on Thursday began pre-treating roads and bridges using a special salt and water solution called salt brine that sticks to the roads. As the storm progresses, the DOT said crews may spread salt or use plows to help clear the roads if there is accumulation. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

HIGH POINT – The Feb. 1 deadline for W2 forms to be mailed is fast approaching, and experts at the Internal Revenue Service say those who haven’t received their forms by mid-February should contact their employers. Until then, they are issuing a few tips that may help you save time and land more refunds this tax season. Once a filer has collected the necessary records to file taxes, the IRS continues to heavily support electronic filing over paper filing. Software programs are available for this option, including some free programs for filers who make less than $49,000 at http://www. IRS.gov. “When you file electronically, if you are entitled to a refund, you can get your money in as little as 10 days as opposed to waiting three to four weeks for a refund when you paper file,” said Mark Hanson, spokesperson for the IRS. There may be some people who

Snow coming HIGH POINT – A winter storm expected to arrive today could bring significant precipitation to the greater High Point area, according to forecasters. The National Weather Service on Thursday was calling for 6 to 8 inches of snow and sleet mix to accumulate beginning late today and into Saturday, according to NWS meteorologist Gail Hartfield. She said precipitation could hold off until about sundown today and take the form of primarily a snow/sleet mix with possibly a little bit of ice. It should continue through tonight and well into the day Saturday, she said. “Basically, if you’ve got plans to be out Friday night even on through Saturday, you might want to reconsider,” Hartfield said. “I would say not to worry too much about (ice accumulation) but, regardless, we’ll have treacherous travel into Sunday at least.” The heaviest precipitation is expected to fall from about midnight through midday Saturday. Temperatures will drop significantly and are expected to remain near or below freezing through midday Monday. The high temperature is expected to be in the upper 20s on Saturday and 32 on Sunday. High Point street crews were watching the forecast Thursday and expected to begin spreading brine on roadways ahead of the storm to prevent snow from bond-

FILING TIPS

—

Start gathering your records – Round up any documents or forms you’ll need when filing your taxes: receipts, canceled checks and other documents that support an item of income or a deduction you’re taking on your return. Consider filing options – From electronic filing to free filing if your income is $57,000 or less, there are numerous filing options that fit your needs and situation. Consider direct deposit – If you elect to have your refund directly deposited into your bank account, you’ll receive it faster than waiting for a paper check. Visit IRS.gov – The official IRS Web site has the answers to frequently asked questions about tax preparations. Review – Don’t rush. Mistakes will slow down the processing of your return. Be sure to double check all Social Security numbers and math calculations before submitting. Call IRS with questions – Customer service number 1-800-829-1040.

ment Plant on Jan. 6. Adjustments were made in the treatment process immediately after the increase, and the water was never out of compliance with safe drinking water standards when it entered the city’s water distribution system. “Unfortunately, confusing language which the Environmental Protection Agency required the city to use in the public notice about not meeting turbidity standards created unnecessary alarm among the city’s water customers,” a news release from the city stated. While the public notice advised water customers that they do not need to boil their water, and that no disease-causing organisms were found, it also noted that turbidity may indicate the presence of disease-causing organisms and noted that “people with severely compromised immune systems, infants and some elderly may be at increased risk.” “We’ve had all kinds of calls,” said Chris Thompson, the city’s public services director. “To me, (the federally-mandated language in the notice) is sort of a false alarm to folks, and it makes people question the integrity of their water, and I can assure you that the water that’s been sent out from our plant is in compliance and is perfectly safe to drink.” The turbidity bump came after prolonged cold weather in early January made the raw water drawn from the city’s two water supply lakes more difficult to treat and filters at the plant that control cloudiness in the water failed to function properly. Thompson said this was the first time the city had to issue such a notice, which is required within 30 days of a violation. The city stressed that customers would be notified immediately if “serious issues” with drinking water arise. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

Davidson health department offers free vaccines

Edwards aide’s book details trail of hush money RALEIGH (AP) – Dealing with a pregnant mistress and a suspicious wife, John Edwards and a close aide agreed by the middle of 2007 to solicit funds from a wealthy widow who had promised to “do whatever it takes” to make him president, according to the former confidant’s new book. Bunny Mellon, the widow of banking heir Paul Mellon, began sending checks “for many hundreds of thousands of dollars” hidden in boxes of chocolates, according to “The Politician” by former Edwards

aide Andrew Young. The tell-all account describes how Young took the money and used it to keep mistress Rielle Hunter happy, hiding her from the media and a cancer-stricken Elizabeth Edwards. Young claims the former vice-presidential nominee later said he didn’t know anything about the cash even though the two discussed the matter and the cash began arriving soon after Edwards made a call to Mellon. “The Politician” is due in bookstores Saturday.

NEW YORK (AP) – New York City’s transit agency is investigating a video posted online that shows a man kissing and snuggling a live chicken aboard a subway. Spokesman Charles Seaton said Thursday it was looking into whether the Tuesday incident on the uptown No. 6 train

was a prank. He says no passengers reported it. The video shows the man hugging, kissing and caressing a chicken as he lies on the subway train’s floor. Some passengers look on and laugh, while others seem to be hustling out of his way and into to the next car.

The video was posted on a riders blog, YouTube and was picked up by Gothamist, a local blog network. The blogger wrote that the man seemed oblivious to his surroundings. Seaton says only service animals and those in containers are permitted in the subway system.

Also, the IRS is heavily endorsing the Earned Income Tax Credit this year since parents who have three or more children who made less than $49,000 last year are now eligible to receive up to $5,700. “Last year, about 25 percent of taxpayers failed to properly claim the credit,” he said. “We want to make sure that if they are entitled to this money, they get it.”

$8 billion for fast trains granted by White House

FILE | AP

In this May 25, 2007, file photo, two high-speed trains, one German (left), one French, arrive at the Gare de lâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;est train station in Paris. High-speed rail projects in California, Florida and Illinois are among the big winners of $8 billion in grants announced Thursday by the White House.

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Highspeed rail projects in California, Florida and Illinois are among the big winners of $8 billion in grants announced Thursday by the White House â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the start of what some Democrats tout as a national railbuilding program that could rival the interstate highways begun in the Eisenhower era. President Barack Obama announced the awards during a town hall meeting in Tampa, Fla. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a follow-up to Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s State of the Union address that focused on getting Americans back to work. Thirteen passenger rail corridors in 31 states will receive grants, which are

funded by the economic recovery act enacted last year. Obama said focusing on building 21st century infrastructure projects is an important element of the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economic recovery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It creates jobs immediately and it lays the foundation for a vibrant economy in the future,â&#x20AC;? Obama said. Though the administration bills the program as â&#x20AC;&#x153;highspeed rail,â&#x20AC;? most U.S. projects wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reach the speeds seen in Europe and Asia. Californiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trains would be by far the fastest, exceeding the 200 mph achieved by some trains overseas.

Senate Democrat: Health care bill â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;on life supportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; President Barack Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health care appeal failed to break the congressional gridlock Thursday, dimming hopes for millions of uninsured Americans. Democrats stared down a political nightmare â&#x20AC;&#x201C; getting clobbered for voting last year for ambitious, politically risky bills, yet having nothing to show for it in November. The grim reality opened a divide between the rank and file and congressional leaders, who insisted health care would get done, even though last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s special election in Massachusetts denied Democrats the 60-vote

majority they need to deliver in the Senate. Many Democrats saw a problem with no clear solution. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very possible that health care is just a stalemate and you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t solve it this year,â&#x20AC;? said Sen. Mark Pryor, D-Ark. If Obama and Democrats fail to pass any legislation this election year, Washington would still face the problem of millions of uninsured, rising medical costs and a dwindling Medicare trust fund forecast to run out of money in 2017. Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health care overhaul is â&#x20AC;&#x153;on life support,â&#x20AC;? said Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., â&#x20AC;&#x153;but it still has a pulse.â&#x20AC;?

MIKE HUGHES: America stays in the middle. SUNDAY

Opinion Page Editor: Vince Wheeler vwheeler@hpe.com (336) 888-3517

America’s problems with Congress begin with us The U.S. presidents have no constitutional authority to do most of the things they claim they can do. They can only ask Congress to do what they want. The Congress could have stopped everything that’s happened for years. Our so-called representatives have sold us out so many times it makes my head spin, and what do we all do? We not only let them keep their jobs, but we allow them to raise their pay. The way we hold our representatives accountable is to let them keep their $14,000 a month jobs so they can stick it to us again! I just went through all the congressional races for 2008 and could not believe what happened! Only 67 seats turned over. And of those 67 seats, 37 turned over because the incumbents retired or died. So that leaves only 30 seats in which incumbents were actually defeated in the 2008 election. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard people complaining about how we need to hold Congress accountable. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard people stomping around, especially after the bailouts, whining and crying about what a bunch of traitors their congressional critters were and how

they’ve betrayed us yet again. So what did the American people do about it? We re-elected the bulk of them all over again! And have you noticed that nobody is talking about the fact that the bulk of Congress got re-elected? I haven’t heard anyone mention this fact that, especially after all the moaning about what Congress has done, we gave them another opportunity to shaft us! Congress is not our problem. We are the problem. The American people don’t have an ounce of common sense left anymore. But after what happened in Massachusetts, there may be hope for us after all. MIKE ROBERTSON Trinity

Obama tries to blame everyone else for troubles In the 1970s, Rev. Ben Hayden reported that the Harvard Business School taught that you don’t tell the truth about finances, personal or your business. Obama says the buck stops here.

He says that everything happening is someone else’s fault. He has never admitted after one year that he has ever been at fault. It’s always someone else: 1. Republicans 2. Banks 3. Wall Street 4. Bush/Cheney 5. All of us that are alive today I would not, after the pattern of the truth that he goes by, ever lend him $20 and expect to get it back. HARRY LEE DARR Thomasville

Campaign financing ruling allows corporate influence This recent Supreme Court decision on political campaign financing is a devastating blow to all Americans. It diminishes each of us as a person in direct proportion to the manner in which it elevates the power of foreign and domestic corporate interests to rule the USA. If you have seen the word “corporatocracy” applied to America before, then now more

than ever, you must take action to close this opened gateway to foreign corporate takeover of American politics. MARJORIE COUGHLIN High Point

OUR MISSION

Founded in 1885

We must address this threat

OUR VIEW

espite the historic nature of the evening (the first State of the Union address by an African-American president), Barack Obama’s speech Wednesday night wasn’t one to convert you to his cause. Much of what the president said in the annual report to the nation had been said before. And after those initial weeks in office and the excitement surrounding them, administrative mistakes and the realities of governance are proving that President Obama is indeed human. He’s just one piece (albeit a large one) in the puzzle we call the federal government. While declaring the change he promised during last year’s campaign isn’t easy to achieve and wasn’t coming fast enough for many, Obama vowed he’s not a quitter and implored Democrats, still a majority in Congress, to plow ahead with health care, energy and climate change measures he seeks. But after increasing public scrutiny, parts of these plans are falling into disfavor. Even the president’s efforts for another round of economic stimulus spending are moving more slowly. Obama did try to strike a cord with the middle-class, where he is perceived as losing ground for pushing massive spending proposals, which paying for certainly will impact middleclass wage earners, despite political rhetoric that they will not. Obama proposed college tuition tax credits, elimination of capital gains tax for small-businesses and using $30 billion to stimulate lending by smaller banks to small businesses. The president, speaking to both Democrats and Republicans, also called for more bipartisanship and an end to the intense partisanship in Congress. He actually aimed some comments at Republicans in an attempt to seek common ground on issues such as increased use of nuclear energy, allowing more offshore drilling for new energy sources and legislation to stimulate creation of jobs in the private sector. As for national security, Obama pledged to continue upgrading security measures and to keep taking the fight to al-Qaida. He also promised to work with Russia and others to reduce the threat of nuclear weapons and preventing nuclear materials from getting into the hands of terrorists. Those comments, too, seemed like a search for common ground, but his ignoring conservatives’ concerns about the handling of captured terrorists and putting them on trial with the rights of American citizens will maintain the chasm in that area. While the president spent several minutes on the topic of bipartisanship and common ground, he also urged his fellow Democrats, still with substantial majorities in both chambers of Congress, to push through health care legislation bitterly opposed by Republicans because of the scope, cost and pork barrel excesses of bills approved by the House and Senate – and because Democratic leaders have allowed no significant discussion of GOP proposals in the health care debate. Many people across America have become aware of the heavy-handed, highly partisan Democratic actions in Congress and the poor legislation – such as the health care reform bills – that such tactics produce. And the people now are showing their disgust – most recently in Virginia, New Jersey and Massachusetts.

Bills could help veterans exposed to Agent Orange

ere’s an interesting bit of news concerning Agent Orange: There are two bills in Congress that would grant Air Force and Navy veterans a better shot at receiving disability for Agent Orange illness. Because of these two pieces of legislation, the troops on board Navy ships near Vietnam, and the troops flying in the airspace could be subject to the same presumptions as troops who set foot on the ground in Vietnam. Both bills are awaiting sponsors in the House of Representatives and the Senate. Time is running out for these Vietnam veterans. Many of them are dying from their Agent Orange related diseases – without being compensated for their sacrifice. If these pending bills are keeping you from qualifying for disability, call your congressman, or write him or her a letter and let them know your situation. The 6th District is represented by Congressman Howard Coble of Greensboro; the 12th District is represented by Congressman Mel Watt of Charlotte. Gen. Eric Shinseki, U.S. secretary of Veterans Affairs, recently unveiled his plan to end homelessness for veterans. It is outrageous that we have veterans living on the streets of our city or any city in this country. We must take action on this problem because all of us have a duty to do all that we can to eliminate homelessness for our veterans. Post traumatic stress disorder is one of the causes of veterans being homeless. Lack of available jobs is also a major cause as well. Please remember veterans in the

Thursday, Obama declined under questioning to condemn Israel for actions against the Palestinians.

But Obama also said the situation facing the Palestinian people is one that needs attention, too.

Hospice of Randolph County volunteers (from left) Carolyn Carlisle, Lynda de Friess and Mary Louise Rich prepare materials for patients.

Randolph Hospice issues plea for help Agency needs volunteers BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

RANDOLPH COUNTY – Carolyn Carlisle didn’t waste much time after retiring as a registered nurse of Hospice of Randolph County last July before deciding two weeks later that she wanted to volunteer for the organization. “I love it,” she said. “I’ve been working in the office. I get to interact with the people I’ve worked with for 14 years and do the things that need to be

done.” Currently, Hospice of Randolph County is searching for more people such as Carlisle, who have a passion for volunteering. Last week, the organization said it is in “great need” of volunteers. Kathy Wright, Hospice of Randolph County’s volunteer and special events coordinator, said volunteers are needed to visit patients and families, as well as helping with special events and office work. “Our volunteers provide

Preparation tips. 1A BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – In light of the Haitian earthquake and the millions of dollars donated by Americans towards the country’s relief efforts, the Internal Revenue Service will allow those donations to be claimed on 2009 tax forms. The special tax relief provision was enacted by the IRS Jan. 22 to “provide immediate tax benefit for the many taxpayers who have made generous donations,” according to a statement from the organization. The provision applies to taxpayers who itemize deductions on their 2009 tax returns, though the donations also can be claimed on 2010 tax forms next year. Contributions made by text message, check, credit card or debit card apply. Donations of nonperishable items do not apply, according to Mark Hanson, spokesperson for the IRS. Eligible contributions must have been made after Jan. 12 and before March 1 specifically for the relief of victims in areas af-

fected by the Jan. 12 earthquake. Federal law requires a record of donations that are claimed on tax returns. For donations by text message, a telephone bill can meet record-keeping requirements, according to the IRS. A bank record, receipt or canceled check showing the name of the charity, date and amount of the contribution is needed for cash donations made by other means. Robert Ziegler, executive director of the High Point/Thomasville chapter of the American Red Cross, said the provision was still unheard of by most filers. “I think the word is finally starting to spread,” he said. The American Red Cross has committed more than $67 million to Haitian relief efforts, largely fueled by donations. Ziegler said the provision possibly could spur more donations or serve as a way to thank the American people for giving to numerous relief funds. “My initial reaction is that the American people have always come through when we needed them, but I’m sure the IRS ruling will help,” he said. “I’m also sure people would continue to donate without the provision. I do wholeheartedly endorse it.” phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

lies is indispensable.” Volunteers do not need any prior training in health care, Wright said, adding that volunteers provide “emotional support” by visiting Hospice patients in nursing homes, hospitals and homes. Volunteers must be 18 years old to work with patients. “If you got the patient volunteers, then they are in the homes working with the patients,” Carlisle said. “That’s something that’s very much needed. It’s just an extra support person for the patient. Sometimes they can stay with the patients while the caregiver gets

the chance to run to the store or do something they need to do. For the office volunteers, there is always work needed to be done.” Those interested in volunteering are required to attend a special one-time training series on order to learn about the organization and its role. The next volunteering series will be held 8:30 a.m.-4 p.m. on Feb. 9-10. The deadline to register for the sessions is Friday, Feb. 5. For more information, contact Wright at 6729300.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am gratefulâ&#x20AC;? Obituary for Earle G. Dalbey 1916-2010 GREENSBORO â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Born the son of an uneducated steelworker in Conshohocken, PA, as a young man Earle was standing on a street corner with friends during the Depression and heard God speak audibly to him saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Go to college.â&#x20AC;? Startled--with no money and against all natural odds--he nevertheless worked his way through Drexel University for his BS in accounting. He married his late wife Dorothea Rouse Dalbey in 1942, and during WWII, he served as a Navy supply officer on the Atlantic aircraft carrier Mindoro, stayed in the Navy after the war and retired in 1964 as Commander. His duty stations included Philadelphia; Columbus, OH (where he earned his MBA degree at Ohio State University); The Pentagon in Washington, DC; Karachi, Pakistan, and Norfolk, VA. While supply officer of the carrier Randolph out of Norfolk, he won several Atlantic Fleet awards for efficiency and the enduring respect of the men who worked for him. In 1964, he began a new career as Business Manager and eventually Vice President of Financial Affairs at then High Point College. During his 17 years on campus, he was instrumental in bringing the college to a firm financial foundation, constructing many new buildings, and in maintaining trusted student contacts during a tenure that included an era of much social upheaval. His office door was always open, as was a jar of jelly beans on his desk and his heart to mentor many students and staff alike. In 2008, Earle began his final â&#x20AC;&#x153;duty stationâ&#x20AC;? as a resident of Brighton Gardens in Greensboro, where his characteristic open door, jar of candy, outgoing friendliness, and trustworthy heart to listen earned him the respect and friendship of all. Throughout his life, he was keenly aware of the many others who had helped him and the God who undergirded him throughout. While highly regarded for his professional competence, Earle was especially appreciated for respecting and caring about people of all backgrounds and positionâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;from surgeon to cleaning personnel, from sales clerk to university president. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve met so many good people, and God has given me a life beyond anything I could have dreamed of,â&#x20AC;? he often said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To say Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m thankful really isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m grateful.â&#x20AC;? He is survived by Dianne Dalbey Bauer of Phoenix, AZ, Gordon Dalbey of Santa Barbara, CA, and Millie Dalbey Gottwald of La Honda, CA. A memorial service is planned at High Point University Chapel in several weeks. In lieu of flowers the family would appreciate gifts to the Earle G. Dalbey Scholarship Fund at High Point University, 833 Montlieu Ave, High Point, NC 27262

Ruffin Poole (third from left) is walked into the Terry Sanford Federal Building in Raleigh on Thursday. Poole, former personal assistant and special counsel to North Carolina Gov. Mike Easley, was at a federal court a week after a grand jury indicted him on 51 corruption-related charges.

Former Easley aide appears in federal court MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

RALEIGH â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Ruffin Poole, the longtime senior aide to former Mike Easley, made his first appearance Thursday in a brief hearing at the federal court building, led into courtroom in handcuffs. It was his first court appearance since last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 51-count indictment on corruptionrelated charges. During the hearing,

Poole answered a few questions from U.S. District Judge Terrence W. Boyle. Poole said he understood his rights. He also said he understood the charges against him, answering simply â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes, sir.â&#x20AC;? At one point, Poole had his head down, prompting Boyle to ask if he could hear. Poole said he could. His family members watched along with reporters and other court officials.

The prosecutors agreed to lenient release conditions, allowing him to him to travel in North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland and Washington, D.C. He was required, however, to surrender his passport. Poole said he agreed to those conditions and would abide by them. After the brief hearing, one of the prosecutors in the case, John Bruce, greeted Pooleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lawyer and shook hands with Poole. As

Cash-strapped parents regret promise to son

ear Abby: My 31-year-old son, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Joey,â&#x20AC;? who needs a heart transplant, almost died a few weeks ago. The doctors told us he wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make it through the weekend. I was beside myself. On what we thought was his deathbed, I told Joey I would give him anything he wanted if he pulled through. He wanted a very expensive sports car. Well, my son pulled through, but has other physical challenges. My husband and I are sending him $500 a month until he starts receiving money from Social Security. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the best we can do right now. The problem is, Joey keeps hounding me about the sports car. I cannot afford this gift. We have offered to have his current vehicle reconditioned or give him my year-old car with its very low mileage. I do not want this to become an issue with my son. I have told him his heart condition is the priority and to let everything else fall into place. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eating me alive that I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give my son what I promised. On the other hand, his request is unreasonable. Please help. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Joeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mom in Las Cruces Dear Mom: Unless you put a stop to it now, this WILL become an issue with your son. Surely he

is in touch enough with reality that he knows your financial situation â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and if he ADVICE doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, please Dear inform Abby him. While â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at it, explain that when you thought he was on his deathbed, you were out of your mind with grief â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be held to a promise made under such duress. At $500 a month, you can hardly be accused of being a withholding parent, so stop beating yourself up. Dear Abby: My 21year-old daughter, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Crystal,â&#x20AC;? has been engaged to her boyfriend, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Aaron,â&#x20AC;? for several months. When she was here recently I asked her to clean out some of the stuff from under her bed and in her closet. She proceeded to throw out her yearbooks, photos from high school dances â&#x20AC;&#x201C; even old journals! It seems she had an unpleasant experience with Aaron when a roommate mentioned an old friend of hers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a boy, but not a boyfriend. Aaron became very â&#x20AC;&#x153;hurtâ&#x20AC;? by the conversation. So now Crystal wants no reminders of her past â&#x20AC;&#x201C; especially regarding other boys.

Is this normal? I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what to do. I wonder whether they need counseling before they marry, but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to interfere. My daughter becomes angry with me over little things. She even ignored us when we asked her to come celebrate her brotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birthday. She just wants to be with her true love; nobody else seems to matter. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A Worried Mom Dear Mom: Your idea of premarital counseling is an excellent one. Aaron appears to be extremely insecure, and your daughter is so in love she canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see the handwriting on the wall. When you invited her to celebrate her brotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birthday, did you also include her fiance? If so, and she still didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to come, Aaron may be trying to distance her from the family. Assuming that Crystal intends to be married in your church, have a talk with your clergyperson about this. If there is a problem looming on the horizon, premarital counseling may bring it out â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and help them to deal with it before it gets out of hand.

Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Poole left the courtroom, he hugged his wife and kissed her on the head. Poole, the longtime senior aide to former Gov. Mike Easley, arrived at the federal courthouse late this morning flanked by two federal agents. Poole, who turned 38 years old on Tuesday, is charged with extortion, bribery, money laundering and other crimes related to his actions while he was a chief aide to Easley.

Sheriff blames jail workers for escape COLUMBUS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Two guards at a North Carolina jail have resigned and the jail administrator has been demoted after an inmate managed to steal a gun and escape. Polk County Sheriff Donald Hill said the workers should have never allowed Dennis Elliott to be a trusty at the jail because of his lengthy criminal history.

THE HIGH POINT ENTERPRISE FRIDAY, JANUARY 29, 2010 www.hpe.com

CELEBRATING GROUNDHOG DAY!

Groundhog Day has been a tradition every year in America and Canada since 1886. Every February 2, tradition states that a groundhog will predict whether Spring will come early, or if we will have to endure six more weeks of Winter. If the groundhog comes out of his burrow and stays above ground, Spring will come on time as predicted, but if the groundhog sees his shadow and is scared back into the ground, six more weeks of Winter and bad weather will come. This holidayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s origins go back as far as the Roman Empire. Soldiers in the Roman Legion would make the same prediction with a similar animal, the hedgehog. If the hedgehog cast a shadow, then what the Romans called â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Second Winterâ&#x20AC;? would start. This â&#x20AC;&#x153;Second Winterâ&#x20AC;? was actually the same as what we refer to in modern times as â&#x20AC;&#x153;six more weeks of Winter.â&#x20AC;? The most famous of the weather-predicting groundhogs lives in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, and goes by the name Punxsutawney Phil. His home, or burrow, in Pennsylvania is called Gobblerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Knob. Phil was featured in the popular 1993 movie, Groundhog Day. Other famous groundhogs are General Beauregard Lee in Atlanta, Georgia; Balzac Billy, in Balzac in Alberta, Canada; and Jimmy the Groundhog in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin. ACROSS CLUES: 2. Famous groundhog Phil is from where? OODCHUCK ROSSWORD 3. The name pf Philâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s burrow or home. 6. Famous groundhog living in Atlanta. 8. What is another word for groundhog. 9. Similar animal native to Asia and Europe. 11. Groundhog from Sun Prairie, Wisconsin.

DOWN CLUES:

1. Romans sometimes experienced a what? 4. Famous groundhog from Alberta, Canada. 5. What does the groundhog see or not see? 7. A groundhog lives in what underground? 10. If a groundhog sees his shadow, how many more weeks of winter is there? Solve the puzzle using the clues provided.

Follow the directions to solve the puzzle. As in sudoku, each vertical and horizontal column is to have the numbers 1-4 appear only once. Within each bold area, aside from the ones with the number already listed, use the small number at the top with itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s symbol as directions. For example, in a two block bold area with the directions 1-, you must list two numbers, that when subtracted equals one. If the directions state 2+, your answer would be 1 and 1. The same number may appear more than once within a bold area, as long as itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not repeated in the columns.

a spinal cord nerve root in the lower back. Compression of those nerves by one or more cysts can bring on back pain or the pain of sciatica (back pain that runs down a leg). From 5 percent to 9 percent of the population has some Tarlov cysts, but only a few have pain from them. Doctors have devised many procedures to deal with painful Tarlov cysts. One is to drain them with a needle. However, the cyst or cysts usually return. Another is to fill them with cortisone by an injection. Cyst recurrence is possible with that therapy. Surgical removal with a microscope is another way of getting rid of them, and the recurrence rate is less. This is somewhat involved and delicate surgery. If you or your daughter wants further information, go online to the Tarlov Cyst Association (www.tarlovcyst.net) or to the Tarlov Cyst Disease Foundation (www. tarlovcystfoundation. org). I’m sure you’d like to know the cause. So would everyone in the medical field. DR.

The old F.W. Woolworth is located at the corner of Elm Street and February One Place in Greensboro.

Museum keeps the feel of 1960 Huge crowd expected at opening of Woolworth sit-in site BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

REENSBORO – Half a century ago, four young black men were admitted to the F.W. Woolworth department store’s lunch counter, but they were not served. Ironically, when the new International Civil Rights Center & Museum opens in that same building Monday, on the 50th anniversary of the famed Greensboro sit-in, you may find it difficult to get inside – no matter what color you are – but justice for those four young men will certainly be served. City and museum officials expect thousands of visitors to flood downtown Greensboro for the long-awaited grand opening of the museum, which has been in

’It (the sit-in) was a galvanizing event in the struggle for civil rights.’ Melvin ‘Skip’ Alston Museum co-founder the works for more than 15 years. Streets around the museum will be closed much of the day, and city parking decks downtown are expected to reach capacity quickly. Downtown workers have been encouraged to carpool or park at the Greensboro Coliseum and ride a complimentary shuttle downtown. Despite the congestion and inconvenience Monday’s grand

Lunch counter is the original where the “Greensboro Four” sat on Feb. 1, 1960. opening will bring, organizers say the festivities – and the museum itself – will be a fitting tribute to the four young men’s pivotal role in the civil rights movement. “Feb. 1, 1960, was a defining moment of the civil rights movement,” said museum co-founder Melvin “Skip” Alston, chairman of the Guilford County Commissioners. “The F.W. Woolworth lunch counter sit-ins that started in Greensboro sparked a movement and spread through the South. It was a galvanizing event in the struggle for civil rights.” The museum’s centerpiece will be the historic lunch counter and the original stools where the “Greensboro Four” sat for

their nonviolent protest. “We have designed the museum to create an authentic experience for visitors,” said Amelia Parker, executive director of the center. “The original portion of the lunch counter and stools where the four students sat has never been moved from its original footprint, while the remaining section has been restored and returned to its 1960 location. The authentic backsplash, massive cash register, food service equipment, place settings, service utensils, signage and other elements remain to create a realistic 1960 lunch-counter experience for museum visitors.” The museum will also feature “A Moment That Changed America,” a filmed re-enactment of the discussion between the “Greensboro Four” on the night of Jan. 31, 1960, when they decided to take action. Other artifacts that will be displayed in the museum include: • A bus seat, circa 1950, signed by Rosa Parks. • An authentic wooden slave auction sign. • A medical bag used by Dr. George Evans, the first AfricanAmerican physician allowed to practice medicine in a formerly all-white Greensboro hospital. • The official uniform once worn by a member of the first graduating class from the Tuskegee Air Corps. The museum will also include numerous educational exhibits, an auditorium, an archival center, and a Joint Center for the Study of Civil and Human Rights. jtomlin@hpe.com | 888-3579

The University of North Carolina at Greensboro, in conjunction with the 50-year anniversary of the Greensboro sitins, has launched “Civil Rights Greensboro,” an online portal to information about the people and events that have helped define Greensboro’s history. The site, found at http://library. uncg.edu/dp/crg/, represents a combined effort between UNCG, Guilford College, Greensboro College and Duke University. It is hosted and maintained by the UNCG University Libraries’ Electronic Resources and Information Technology department. “Civil Rights Greensboro,” a searchable digital archive, covers such subjects as desegregation of local schools, the historic February 1960 sit-ins at the Woolworth department store, race relations at UNCG and Guilford College, the Black Power movement in Greensboro, and the Greensboro Massacre of 1979. Items available on the site include audio clips of firstperson accounts, transcribed oral histories and archival photos. Digitized resources came from the following collections: • University Archives and Manuscripts, UNCG. • Friends Historical Collection, Guilford College. • Brock Historical Museum, Greensboro College. • Rare Book, Manuscript and Special Collections Library, Duke University. • Greensboro Historical Museum. The project was funded with a $74,616 NC ECHO Digitization Grant from the State Library of North Carolina, a division of the Department of Cultural Resources, as well as money from the Institute of Museum and Library Services.

Here’s an easy play-or-defend deal. After West leads a low club, would you rather try to make four spades as South or try to beat it as East-West? (Yes, you have more points to gain by declaring, but let’s say the odds are even.) Suppose South captures East’s jack of clubs and counts nine tricks. For a 10th trick South needs luck in diamonds – probably a 3-3 break – or in hearts. He draws trumps and leads the ace and a low diamond.

LOW HEART

DAILY QUESTION

West wins and sees that the defense needs two fast heart tricks. If West leads a low heart, South can effectively play low from dummy and let East’s eight win. But if West shifts to the JACK of hearts at the sixth trick, South is helpless. Should you bet on the defense then? Say South lets East’s jack win the first club! South wins the club return, pitching a diamond from dummy. He draws trumps, leads the ace and a low diamond, and has the timing to set up his fourth diamond before East-West can get their heart tricks. Did you elect to declare?

You hold: S K Q 6 5 H A 6 3 D A 10 5 4 C A 6. The dealer, at your right, opens three hearts. You double, and your partner bids three spades. The opponents pass. What do you say? ANSWER: You may be reluctant to pass with such nice spade support and three aces, but your double showed a good hand and obliged partner to bid. His hand may be so weak that 10 tricks will be impossible. Moreover, bad breaks are likely after your opponent’s preempt. Pass. South dealer Both sides vulnerable

Friday, Jan. 29, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Jonny Lang, 29; Heather Graham, 40; Oprah Winfrey, 56; Tom Selleck, 65 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: You can make a difference to your future by looking at your past. Get rid of whatever is holding you back. You have the strength, courage and wherewithal to get what you want out of life if you show determination and put your skills to work. Action will be the name of the game. Believe in yourself. Your numbers are 5, 9, 17, 28, 33, 41, 44 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Nothing will be simple. The faster you adjust to the way things are, the better the outcome. A good attitude and less frantic behavior will help considerably. ★★★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Be sure to make your own decisions. You’ll be troubled by the problems an older relative is experiencing. It won’t be easy, but it will give you greater understanding. Don’t fight the inevitable. ★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The more time you take to make a decision, the harder it will be for you to recoup any loss you’ve incurred. Money matters can be resolved if you collect or pay an old debt. Get busy before it’s too late. ★★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Get into something that really interests you and it will lead to a richer and more rewarding lifestyle. Learning something new or starting a new project will put you one step closer to your goals. Travel will bring you knowledge and life experience. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): A situation that develops will make it difficult for you to deal with partners, bosses or any authoritative figure. Don’t let your emotional feelings confuse you. Focus on moneymaking deals or making upgrades. ★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Everyone will come to you for solutions. You will be put on the spot and must be ready to cover your back. Someone is probably trying to put the spotlight on you as a diversion. Take care of other people’s dilemmas quickly and launch your plans. ★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The clearer you are about what you want, the easier it will be, so don’t beat around the bush. Someone you are close to will play devil’s advocate and question what you are trying to accomplish. Let this guide you, so you don’t make mistakes. ★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Touch base with someone from your past who can shed light on a situation you face in your personal life. Experience in such matters will help to clear up questions, allowing you the mental freedom you need to move forward. ★★★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Don’t fight a losing battle. Stick to your original plans and you will reach your goal. Money deals can be made but they must be within your budget. Don’t leave anything to chance or you will take a loss. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Patience and tolerance may not be enough when it comes to dealing with personal matters and partnerships. Have everything looked at by a mediator/lawyer before you decide to deal with someone who isn’t rational. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Expect someone to make a change that will throw you offcourse. Showing your versatility and ability to stick to a schedule will impress someone who can improve your future. Dealing with authority figures or partners will be difficult. Stick to the truth. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You are capable of doing anything you put your mind to and, if you do, you will raise your profile and gain the respect you long for. Don’t focus on the people who let you down. A couple of positive actions will bring you a big return. ★★★★★ 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.

Keselowski keeps fighting for success

TOP SCORES

WHO’S NEWS

y his own admission, Brad Keselowski says if you go to the right sources, you wouldn’t be surprised that he got into feuds with Denny Hamlin and others last year even though he was a rookie on the Cup circuit. “It depends if you talk to my middle school principal or not,” SPORTS Keselowski said. Greer Remember Smith that baby■■■ face guy who didn’t back down in school. That’s Keselowski, a Michigan native who will turn 26 two days before making his first start in the Daytona 500. “I was always a fighter,” Keselowski said. “I was involved in some scuffles.” Last year, after scoring an unexpected first victory at Talladega driving for James Finch and being boosted by success on the Nationwide circuit, Keselowski got into enough scuffles that he was called in the office of NASCAR headmaster Brian France to be scolded about overaggressive driving. The meeting came during the fall Cup weekend at Phoenix, after he wrecked Hamlin as part of ongoing on-track disagreements. Hamlin carried out a promise to wreck Keselowski the following week at Homestead, noting that Keselowski had ruffled the feathers of several drivers. “There’s always been a part of me when I get in a competitive mood, I don’t take any crap,” Keselowski said. “I’ve got a pretty good attitude when I get out of the car. But when I’m in it, I get a little mean sometimes. That’s what’s fun to me. That’s why I love racing, because it has the ability to pull that out of me.” What it pulls out is a streak that sounds a little bit like Dale Earnhardt. “There’s amusement to it,” Keselowski said. “I enjoy the fun of pulling up behind somebody and he looks in the mirror and says, ‘Oh, not him.’ But, I don’t enjoy the media part of it.” Keselowski claims that he has always been that way since he won the first time he sat in a race car. Some of the swagger went away while he drove for an underfunded NASCAR Truck Series team fielded by his father Ron, a former ARCA racer, and then for

a Nationwide Series team that folded in 2007. “I got into a period where the money Keselowski ran out,” the younger Keselowski said. “I was winning, but the money ran out. So, where do you go from there? I took underfunded rides that didn’t have a shot at winning. It took that enthusiasm or confidence away for about three or four years. That changed me as a person.” The confidence returned after Dale Earnhardt Jr. gave him a trial in the Nationwide Series. Keselowski stuck with JR Motorsports and won twice in 2008. He was so impressive that Earnhardt’s partner in the Nationwide team, Rick Hendrick, gave Keselowski a shot in some Cup races last season – some of them through Finch’s team. In addition to the Talladega victory, Keselowski also posted four Nationwide wins. He also showed that he would not back off for older drivers, an eye-catching change of character from the days he drove noncompetitive cars and didn’t make waves. “When I started winning again, I almost returned to myself,” he said. “I don’t think I’ve changed. I got my confidence back and some swagger in my step.” This year, he’ll get to use the swagger for Roger Penske in both the Cup and Nationwide series. Keselowski decided to jump over to Penske as the replacement for David Stremme when it became apparent that Hendrick wouldn’t have an opening in one of his Cup cars for at least a couple of years. Keselowski’s penchant for not backing down from controversy seems to clash with Penske’s conservative, business-like approach. “What I’ve seen from the company is that they are OK with it as long as you are not a jerk about it,” Keselowski said. “And, I don’t feel that I am, even though that’s not to say I haven’t had verbal diarrhea once in a while. “You have to have a level of confidence to feel that you belong here and can do this job. ... I feel with confidence, I can do anything in a car. The sky is the limit and I’m not going to change that.” gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

BASKETBALL UNC ASHEVILLE 83 HPU MEN 69

Georgia Tech’s Gani Lawal (center) battles Wake Forest’s Chas McFarland (13) and Ishmael Smith for a loose ball in the first half of Thursday night’s game in Atlanta.

Jackets ring Wake’s ‘Bell’ ATLANTA (AP) – D’Andre Bell led a balanced offense with 16 points, Derrick Favors blocked five shots and No. 22 Georgia Tech pulled away early in the second half Thursday night for a 79-58 rout of Wake Forest. Coming off a tough loss at Florida State, the Yellow Jackets (15-5, 4-3 Atlantic Coast Conference) ripped off a 19-4 run to break open a tight game. As usual in its ACC victories, Georgia Tech did its best work at the defensive end, holding the Demon Deacons (14-5, 4-3) almost 19 points below their scoring average for the season. Wake Forest shot just 33 percent from the field (21 of 64) and had only two players in double figures: AlFarouq Aminu with 15 points and Ishmael Smith with 12. Georgia Tech spread the offense around. Gani Lawal had 14 points and Brian Oliver added 13, while Iman Shumpert and Favors chipped in with 11 each. Favors and Lawal also had nine

rebounds apiece, leading the Yellow Jackets to a 43-34 edge on the boards. After the Deacons scored the first two baskets of the second half to close a six-point deficit to 35-33, Georgia Tech took control. Lawal got it started, hitting a shot on the inside, drawing a foul on Aminu and knocking down the free throw to complete the three-point play. Shumpert followed with a 3-pointer, then swished a smooth jumper. Just like that, Georgia Tech had its first double-digit lead of the night, 45-35. The Yellow Jackets didn’t let up – at either end. Lawal got loose on the inside for a dunk, Oliver knocked down another 3, Favors went back inside for another easy one and Bell closed out the run with a pair of free throws. Wake Forest, on the other hand, missed seven of eight shots from the field and four straight free throws, allowing Georgia Tech to make it a laugher.

Bulldogs trip Panthers SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

ASHEVILLE – Senior Cruz Daniels had a double-double with 12 points and 12 rebounds for the High Point University men’s basketball team, but it wasn’t enough in an 83-69 loss to UNC Asheville on Thursday night. Nick Barbour and Eugene Harris each scored 13 points for HPU. “They shot 63 percent on field goals and 50 percent for 3-pointers. “When you do that you’re going to win pretty easily,” said HPU head coach Scott Cherry. “We weren’t committed on the defensive end. We just weren’t locked and we didn’t make the plays we needed to make to win.”

High Point dropped to .500 with a 10-10 overall record and 5-5 mark in the Big South. UNC Asheville won its sixth in a row and improved to 9-12 and 6-4 in conference play. UNC Asheville’s J.P. Primm scored 16 points and dished 12 assists to lead five Bulldogs in double-figures. Sean Smith scored 14 points, Chris Stephenson and Matt Dickey each scored 12 and John Williams scored 11. Daniels’ double-double was his third of the season and the ninth of his career. He surpassed 600 rebounds during the game, finishing the game with 610 for his career. The Panthers take on Gardner-Webb on Saturday at 8 p.m. in Boiling Springs.

HIT AND RUN ffensive linemen rarely become the center of attention in the buildup to the Super Bowl. That’s too bad, because Indianapolis Colts center Jeff Saturday followed an unlikely path to NFL stardom. His story is a good one. Saturday, a three-year starter at the University of North Carolina who earned first-team All-ACC honors as a senior, was not drafted out of college. He signed with the Baltimore Ravens as a rookie free agent in 1998 and briefly spent time on the practice squad before being waived. The Colts took a chance on him and signed

GEORGIA TECH WAKE FOREST

him to a free-agent deal in January of 1999. Good move, Indy. Now in his 11th NFL season, Saturday is a four-time Pro Bowler. He’s been voted first-team Associated Press All Pro twice and made the second-team AP All-Pro squad on two occasions. The 6-foot-2, 295-pounder has helped the Colts allow the fewest sacks in the NFL in four seasons. When Saturday’s career ends, he’s a strong candidate to make the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Several quarterback-center tandems are

enshrined in Canton, Ohio. They include Bart Starr and Jim Ringo of the Packers, Bob Griese and Jim Langer of the Dolphins, Terry Bradshaw and Mike Webster of the Steelers and Dan Marino and Dwight Stephenson of the Dolphins. Look for Peyton Manning and Saturday to join that exclusive company several years down the road. But first, we can enjoy watching Manning and Saturday share at least one more “Super” stage.

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

– MARK MCKINNEY ENTERPRISE SPORTS EDITOR

Todd Helton’s wish for the upcoming season is to make it through the grind with a little bit more left in his tank come October. Jason Giambi’s return to Denver should help him accomplish that goal. Giambi’s $1.75 million, one-year contact with the Colorado Rockies was finalized Thursday. a deal that allows Giambi to spell Helton at first base and serve as a pinch hitter. Giambi hit .292 with two homers and 11 RBIs in 19 games for the Rockies last September, when he had two gamewinning hits and helped Colorado win the NL wild card. He was a huge hit in the clubhouse, mentoring young players and veterans. The 39-year-old is a 15-year major league veteran originally drafted by Oakland in 1992. He was AL MVP in 2000 with the Athletics.

Patrick to run at least 12-race NASCAR schedule MOORESVILLE (AP) – IndyCar star Danica Patrick will compete in at least 12 NASCAR races this season and could make her debut in the season opener. JR Motorsports announced Patrick’s schedule Thursday. Her first race, though, is still uncertain. Patrick is waiting to decide whether to race in the Nationwide Series opener at Daytona International Speedway on Feb. 13.

The team says it will decide after Patrick makes her stock car debut in the Feb. 6 ARCA race at Daytona. If she feels comfortable, she could race the following week in NASCAR’s second-tier series. It would be a daunting NASCAR start considering more than a dozen Sprint Cup regulars, including team owner Dale Earnhardt Jr., drive in that one. “Like I’ve said before, we just want to

be smart and calculative about this process,” Patrick said. “The tracks we’ve selected not only complement the IndyCar schedule, but will give me quality seat time at a variety of facilities.” If Patrick doesn’t drive the Nationwide race at Daytona, she will make her debut the following week in Fontana, Calif. Her remaining schedule includes Las

Vegas (Feb. 20), a four-month hiatus to focus on the IndyCar Series and her return to NASCAR at New Hampshire (June 26). She also will race in Chicago (July 9), Michigan (Aug. 14), Dover, Del. (Sept. 25), Fontana (Oct. 9), Charlotte (Oct. 15), Madison, Ill. (Oct. 23), Texas (Nov. 6), Phoenix (Nov. 13), and Homestead, Fla. (Nov. 20).

Spartans ease past Phoenix, 62-55 THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GREENSBORO – Mikko Koivisto scored 17 points to lead UNC Greensboro to a 62-55 victory over Elon on Thursday night. The Spartans (5-16, 4-6 Southern Conference) held Elon to four points in the final 4:44 as the Phoenix (4-16, 2-7) went 2-for-10 from the field and 0-for-2 from the free throw line during that stretch. UNCG’s Ben Stywall just missed his fifth consecutive double-double, finishing with 14 points and nine rebounds. Randall added 11 points. Drew Spradlin had 18 points and eight rebounds, and Adam Constantine had 13 points and 11 rebounds for Elon.

Scott Piercy drives on the 18th hole of the North Course during the opening round of the Farmers Insurance Open golf tournament at Torrey Pines Golf Course on Thursday in San Diego. Piercy birdied the hole to finish with an 8-under 64 and a one-shot lead.

Piercy shows way at Torrey Pines THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN DIEGO – Scott Piercy had the best score Thursday at Torrey Pines because he made nine birdies. Robert Allenby might have had the best round because he made no bogeys. Adding to the complexity at the Farmers Insurance Open was Phil Mickelson, who opened his season with a 70 on the South Course. A glorious day along the Pacific coast ended under a clear sky, even if nothing about the leaderboard will clear up until the weekend. The tournament is played on two courses that couldn’t be more different – the North Course is 712 yards shorter than the South Course, which hosted a U.S. Open two years ago. Piercy played the North and watched his scores go south in a round of 8-under 64. He made seven birdies on the front nine and even entertained thoughts of a 59 until a bogey on his 11th hole. He had a one-shot lead over Ben Crane, Chris Tidland, Ryuji Imada and Matt Every, with Tom Pernice Jr. another shot back after a 66. They all played the North Course, and will have to tackle the big South on Friday. That’s what made Allenby’s round so impressive. One of the hottest players in golf, Allenby made a couple of big par saves late in his day to protect a bogey-free round of 67, making him the only player among the top 15 after the opening round to play on the South.

“There’s going to come a day that they don’t pick me,” Pierce said in Orlando, where the Celtics are facing the Magic. “So every time I get a chance to make it, it’s definitely an honor.” The remainder of the Western Conference reserves were guards Chris Paul of New Orleans and Brandon Roy of Portland, Lakers forward Pau Gasol and Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki, who was picked for the ninth time and will represent the home team. “It is an honor to represent the Mavericks in my new hometown of Dallas,” Nowitzki said. “I am always thankful for the opportunity to play in the All-Star game. We hope to put on a good show for our fans.”

Ochocinco wants to kick in Pro Bowl CINCINNATI (AP) – Chad Ochocinco hopes to show a Pro Bowl audience that he can kick it as well as catch it. The Bengals receiver made some kickoffs Thursday during practice for the Pro Bowl in Miami, hoping to convince the coaches that he’s capable of going toe-to-toe. He showed off his punting skills during warmups a day earlier. Ochocinco told The Associated Press in a phone interview after practice that he’s also planning to kick field goals during practice this week. He wants to persuade AFC coaches that he could be more than a just receiver during the game on Sunday. If the coaches want more proof, he’s got the tape. The six-time Pro Bowl receiver is an international soccer fan and practices kicking. He had never done it during a game until last August, when Bengals kicker Shayne Graham was bothered by a sore groin in practice before a preseason game against New England in Foxborough. Ochocinco kicked an extra point and had a deep kickoff as Graham’s replacement, providing the winning point in Cincinnati’s 7-6 victory. Afterward, he referred to himself as “Esteban Ochocinco, the most interesting footballer in the world.”

Big Unit to throw out 1st pitch before M’s opener SEATTLE (AP) – The Big Unit is coming back to Seattle for opening day.

Johnson was 130-74 in 10 years with Seattle – his most wins among any of his six teams – before he was traded to Houston midway through 1998. He led the Mariners into their first postseasons in 1995 and ’97.

Murray in position to be Great Scot, or not

Duke’s Brian Zoubek (55) reacts to his shot against Florida State during the second half of Wednesday night’s game at Cameron Indoor Stadium. The Blue Devils prevailed 70-56.

Duke defends its home turf DURHAM (AP) – Kyle Singler and No. 8 Duke got rolling just in time to pull out a close game – or, at least, what passes for one these days at Cameron Indoor Stadium. Singler scored 12 of his 20 points in the second half and the Blue Devils pulled away late to beat Florida State 70-56 late Wednesday night. Jon Scheyer had 22 points for the Blue Devils (17-3, 5-2 Atlantic Coast Conference), who shot 43 percent against the nation’s toughest field-goal percentage defense and forced 22 turnovers. But they needed a late 15-4 run to seal their 14th straight win at Cameron. “It wasn’t really a pretty game,” Singler said. “We had to grind it out, and we just made plays at the end.” Solomon Alabi had 14 points and 10 rebounds and Chris Singleton added 14 points for the Seminoles (15-5, 3-3). They outrebounded the Blue Devils 40-30 and held them without a field goal for more than six minutes to erase most of a 16point deficit, but ultimately were denied their second straight victory against a Top 25 opponent. “I felt like we are the better team,” Singleton said. “They have a lot of talent, and we have a lot of talent. Tonight, we showed that we’re a good team, but we need to put it all together.” Singleton made things interesting late, hitting a free throw to make it 5147 with 8:56 left, and the Seminoles then had a stretch in which they missed several free throws, got the rebounds — and then couldn’t do anything with them. Eventually, the Blue Devils pulled away down the stretch with seven straight points. “They made a big run, they had some big rebounds and key plays,” Scheyer said. “Everything’s not going to go our way, so when it doesn’t we just try to respond, and I thought we came out with a couple big shots and a couple stops.” Scheyer hit a 19-footer, Brian Zoubek added a stickback and Singler knocked down a 3-pointer with 5:45 remaining to get the decisive run rolling and restore Duke’s double-figure lead.

It wasn’t until then that the Blue Devils were assured of extending a few streaks at Cameron. They claimed their 39th straight victory there against unranked opponents – a string that dates to the Seminoles’ win in February 2007 – and improved to 12-0 this season at home, winning 10 of those by at least 20 points. Before this one, their average margin of victory here was more than 30 points. At least there’s one thing Florida State can take solace in: The only team to keep things this tight in this arena was St. John’s, an 80-71 loser in December. “They’re playing the best basketball in the ACC,” Florida State coach Leonard Hamilton said of Duke. “They’re playing with a level of maturity that we have not grown to yet. ... They played like a very mature, junior-senior team, and at times, we played like a freshmansophomore team.” For a while, this one was shaping up as yet another blowout for the Blue Devils, who seemingly took control early in the second half. A 12-2 spurt, capped by Singler’s free throw with 13:55 left, gave them a 51-35 lead. But a scoreless drought of nearly six minutes allowed Florida State to creep back into the game. The Seminoles reeled off 12 straight points – nine by freshman reserve Michael Snaer – to make it a four-point game late. Worse for the Blue Devils, Florida State was simply outhustling them. The Seminoles missed three straight foul shots in 20 seconds – two by Singleton – and beat Duke to all those rebounds, but couldn’t turn them into baskets. “I need to just lock in and make my free throws,” Singleton said. “We still would have had the momentum, and then when we went back on defense, I’m pretty sure we would have gotten another stop. ... After that, they got the momentum back and got the crowd involved. We couldn’t do anything after that.” Snaer finished with 13 points and Derwin Kitchen had 10 assists for Florida State, which was coming off a 68-66 victory three days earlier against then-No. 19 Georgia Tech.

Holyfield-Botha fight in Uganda called off ATLANTA (AP) – Evander Holyfield is still planning to return to the ring, it will just be a little closer to home. The former heavyweight champion’s manager, Ken Sanders, said Thursday that a fight against Francois Botha scheduled for Feb. 20 in Uganda was called off when promoters were unable to deliver a promised pre-fight payment. Sanders said Holyfield will instead fight Botha on March 6, possibly in Miami. Holyfield has had other fights canceled in South Korea and Ethiopia. Holyfield (42-10-2) has lost five of his last nine bouts, and has not fought since losing a decision to Nikolai Valuev a year ago.

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) – There he was, mouth agape, roaring like a Highlands warrior in full battle cry in “Braveheart.” The force from Andy Murray’s lungs seemed to add heft to the forehand winner he hurled down the line. The match turned there – in the fifth game of the second set – and it would not be long before the 22-year-old Scot was on his way to the Australian Open final. After dropping serve twice in the opening set to Croatia’s Marin Cilic, Murray recovered to win the semifinal 3-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-2 and reach his second Grand Slam final. “It was really important because I don’t want to say the match was slipping away from me, but the momentum was definitely with him,” Murray said. Now, with only top-ranked Roger Federer or Jo-Wilfried Tsonga ahead, he is one win from breaking a drought for British men at the four majors that dates to Fred Perry in 1936. That’s a lot of pressure on Murray. It proved too much for the likes of Tim Henman, John Lloyd and others. But the pressure valve was released, at least for a few sets Thursday night, in one riveting point. Murray raced to the net to reach a ball that had caught the net and dropped onto his side. He then made a lunging volley to extend the rally and sprinted back to the baseline to chase down Cilic’s deep lob. Somehow, spinning as he swung the racket blindly right to left, he hit a forehand winner past Cilic. Then he roared a prolonged roar. The challenge from Cilic, who had beaten Murray in straight sets in the fourth round of the U.S. Open, faded. The more than eight hours he had spent on court across five matches had taken its toll. “He played some really aggressive tennis ... was putting me under a lot of pressure,” Murray said. “But, yeah, that shot made a big difference. I just managed to chase it down.” After watching the replay, he added in his understated monotone: “I never realized my mouth was so big.” And, by the way, he insists he practices that shot.

Andy Murray of Britain reacts to a point won against Marin Cilic of Croatia during their men’s singles semifinal match at the Australian Open in Melbourne, Australia on Thursday. Murray is the first British man to reach two Grand Slam finals in the Open era and the first to reach the Australian Open final since Lloyd in 1977. He will watch Friday night’s semifinal between Federer, a three-time Australian champ, and Tsonga, the 2008 runner-up. Federer, who beat Murray in the U.S. Open final in 2008, is in his 23rd consecutive Grand Slam semifinal – more than double the previous record stretch – and has won a record 15 major singles titles. The Swiss star was in every Grand Slam final last year, losing in Australia to Rafael Nadal and losing at the U.S. Open to Juan Martin del Potro. But Murray, who beat an injured Nadal in the quarterfinals, has a 6-4 record in head-to-heads with Federer and is 2-1 against Tsonga. That gives hope to millions of Britons. And that’s also why Murray is happy to be on the other side of the world. After falling a set and a break down against No. 6 Nikolay Davydenko in the quarterfinals, Federer changed gears and won 13 straight games to take the match away from the Russian, who had been riding a 13-match winning streak.

State Farm to nonrenew thousands TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Thousands of State Farm property insurance customers will be seeing nonrenewal notices in their mailboxes next week. The first wave of notices will be mailed Monday to a selected number of the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s policyholders who are due to renew Aug. 1, State Farm spokesman Chris Neal said Thursday. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of an agreement the Illinois-based insurer reached in December with the Office of Insurance Regulation. The company is paring 125,000 policies in the next 18 months to reduce its liability in hurricane-prone Florida where State Farm insures nearly 714,000 homeowners.

Reports point to weak growth WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Evidence that the economic rebound remains sluggish emerged from reports Thursday on new claims for unemployment aid and orders to U.S. factories. Scant job creation is restraining consumer spending and holding back economic growth. And factory orders for durable goods, a barometer of the manufacturing industry, are rising too slightly to provide much

fuel to the rebound. The number of people claiming jobless aid fell last week, but less than expected. And orders for big-ticket manufactured goods rose but also fell short of analystsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; predictions. On Wednesday, the Federal Reserve kept the short-term interest rate it controls at a record-low level of nearly zero and pledged to keep it there for â&#x20AC;&#x153;an extended period.â&#x20AC;? In its report on jobless

claims, the Labor Department said first-time claims dropped 8,000 last week to a seasonally adjusted 470,000. Analysts had expected a steeper drop to 450,000, according to Thomson Reuters. The four week average, which smooths out volatility, rose for the second straight week to 456,250. The average had fallen for 19 straight weeks before starting to rise. Economists closely watch initial claims as a

gauge of the pace of layoffs and a sign of companiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; willingness to hire new workers. The Commerce Department report on orders to factories for manufactured goods rose 0.3 percent in December. That was far less than the 2 percent advance economists had expected. And for all of 2009, durable goods orders plunged 20.2 percent, the largest drop on records dating to 1992. The decline highlighted

Eli Lilly shows profit despite sales drop INDIANAPOLIS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Drugmaker Eli Lilly and Co. said Thursday it turned a fourth-quarter profit on higher-thanexpected revenue, but a key new drug saw a sharp sales drop after its summer debut. The Indianapolis pharmaceutical company reported double-digit sales growth for several established products, including its top-seller, the antipsychotic Zyprexa. However, sales of Lillyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s widely anticipated blood thinner Effient slid to $3.8 million worldwide in the fourth quarter.

(AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Stronger sales of nearly all its medicines and a multibillion-dollar, one-time gain brought drugmaker Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. a huge jump in fourth-quarter profit, the company said Thursday. The maker of blockbuster blood thinner Plavix said its net income in the OctoberDecember quarter was $8.03 billion, or $4.06 per share. In December Bristol-Myers sold off its interest in infant formula maker Mead Johnson for a gain of $7.2 billion, or $3.62 per share.

While overall orders were slowed by lower demand for new aircraft, orders for capital goods â&#x20AC;&#x201D;which exclude aircraft and defense spending â&#x20AC;&#x201D; rose 1.3 percent. That increase reflected businesses boosting purchases of machinery and equipment.

Ford earns profit in 2009 DEARBORN, Mich. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Ford, the only U.S. automaker to avoid bankruptcy court, clawed its way to a $2.7 billion profit in 2009 and expects to stay in the black in 2010. It was the automakerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first annual profit in four years. Fordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s full-year revenue of $118.3 billion fell nearly 20 percent from 2008, but

the Dearborn-based automaker benefited from costcutting, a $1.3 billion profit in its credit arm and popular cars and trucks like the Ford Fusion midsize sedan and Ford Escape small SUV. It gained market share in North and South America and Europe, despite the worst U.S. sales climate in 30 years.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;While we still face significant business environment challenges ahead, 2009 was a pivotal year for Ford,â&#x20AC;? Ford CEO Alan Mulally said in a statement. Ford shares rose 11 cents, or 1 percent, to $11.66 in morning trading. Fordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2009 net income of 86 cents per share

showed a significant improvement from the year before, when it lost a record $14.6 billion. Excluding special items, Fordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s earnings per share for the year were flat. For the quarter, Ford made 43 cents before special items. That surprised Wall Street, where analysts expected 26 cents per share.

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The supplier of Toyotaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s faulty gas-pedal systems said Thursday it is shipping newly designed replacement parts to Toyota factories for future cars and trucks.

Khilnani, the chief executive of CTS, said in an investor call that â&#x20AC;&#x153;we are working diligently and collaboratively with Toyota to find a field fix and to put additional capacity in place to manufacture the new pedal and support the recall.â&#x20AC;? Khilnani said the problem was due to pedals that are slow to depress or release when drivers try to accelerate or slow down. Toyota extended its recalls to China and Europe, deepening the massive recalls that threatened to undermine the reputation of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top automaker as a manufacturer of safe, durable vehicles.

that number despite the lack of a new iPhone model in the quarter, and in the face of an aggressive ad campaign by Verizon Wireless. Complaints about dropped calls and poor service in some areas didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t dissuade buyers either.

Starbucks recalls glass water bottles WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The U.S Consumer Product Safety Commission said it was voluntarily recalling, together with coffee company Starbucks Corp., more that 12,000 glass water bottles with stoppers that could shatter and cut con-

sumers when the stopper is inserted or removed. The Seattle-based chain has received 10 reports of either the bottles or stoppers breaking, with eight reports of hand lacerations, the federal agency said in a release. The 20-ounce, clear glass

water bottles have a blue label with the words â&#x20AC;&#x153;Glass Water Bottleâ&#x20AC;? printed on it. The $9 bottles were sold this month at Starbucks company-run stores in the U.S. and at Starbucks locations in Safeway and Target stores.

Tech forecasts drag down stocks NEW YORK (AP) — The stock market resumed its slide Thursday as disappointing forecasts from technology companies brought new concerns about the economy. A weaker outlook from technology maker Qualcomm Inc. dragged the Nasdaq composite index lower. Drops in Motorola Inc. and Apple Inc. also hurt tech stocks. The Dow Jones industrial average fell almost 116 points, its sixth drop in nine days. The market also fell in response to a report from Standard & Poor’s that said it no longer considers Britain’s banking system among the “most stable

and low-risk.” The report added to concern about rising debt levels other countries, such as Greece, and drove the dollar higher as investors sought safety. That sent some commodities prices lower, hurting materials stocks. The tech forecasts and debt worries were yet more concerns for investors who have been focused on politics, not the economy. Stocks have been sliding as concern builds that a fragile economic recovery could be derailed by missteps in Washington. The questions have some analysts saying that a 10-month surge of 60.3 percent in the Standard & Poor’s 500

index isn’t warranted. President Barack Obama’s plan to overhaul banking regulations and restrict trading at large financial institutions spooked the market during the past week. The possibility Federal Reserve Board chairman Ben Bernanke wouldn’t be confirmed for a second term also had investors on edge, though those worries have subsided as the vote neared. The Senate voted to confirm Bernanke for a second term as the market was closing. His first fouryear term ends Sunday. “Our full-contact politics is really beginning to affect the markets as it’s migrating into sub-

jects that investors care deeply about like who is our Fed chairman going to be,” said Lawrence Creatura, portfolio manager at Federated Clover Investment Advisors. “That wasn’t uncertain two weeks ago.” The Dow fell 115.70, or 1.1 percent, to 10,120.46. The drop put the psychological barrier of 10,000 back in investors’ sights. The Dow, which had been down as much as 181 points, hasn’t traded below 10,000 since Nov. 6. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell 12.97, or 1.2 percent, to 1,084.53, while the Nasdaq fell 42.41, or 1.9 percent, to 2,179.00.

Time Warner Cable posts low outlook NEW YORK (AP) — Time Warner Cable Inc. reported a profit for the fourth quarter Thursday but the economy was still weighing on its customers, who cut back on their subscriptions of premium movie channels and ordered fewer videos on demand. The nation’s secondlargest cable TV provider also said it will start paying a quarterly dividend of 40 cents per share. That makes Time Warner Cable the third major cable TV company to do

so, after Comcast Corp. and Cablevision Systems Corp. Cable operators typically plow cash back into their operations but have been under pressure from investors to provide a better return. Investors liked the payoff. Shares of Time Warner Cable rose $2.21, or 5.1 percent, to $45.83 in morning trading. Even so, the earnings report showed that Time Warner Cable continues to lose video subscribers. Now the company expects 2010 earnings of

Oil above $74 on renewed US optimism NEW YORK (AP) — Natural gas prices slid Thursday for the fourth straight day as a fresh stack of economic data provided little evidence that the country will increase its appetite for oil and gas anytime soon. The natural gas contract for March delivery gave up 7.4 cents to $5.150 per 1,000 cubic feet on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Benchmark crude for March delivery fell 14 cents to $73.53 a barrel on the Nymex. In London, Brent crude for March delivery rose 30 cents to $72.54 a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange.

Soft US data send world markets lower LONDON (AP) — World stock markets fell Thursday after economic data reignited fears about the pace of the U.S. economic recovery, while the euro slid to a sixmonth low against the dollar as traders fretted about the public finances in Portugal as well as Greece. In Europe, the FTSE 100 index of leading British shares closed down 71.73 points, or 1.4 percent, at 5,145.74 while Germany’s DAX plunged 102.87 points, or 1.8 percent, to 5,540.33 The CAC-40 in France was 71.01 points, or 1.9 percent, lower at 3,688.79. Europe’s main markets had been trading higher before sentiment was hit by the news that U.S. jobless claims last week were higher than expected and factory orders in December rose by less than anticipated.

$3.25 to $3.50 per share, which is less than the $3.60 analysts had been forecasting. Many cable operators have been losing video customers to satellite TV, but Time Warner Cable also faces stiff competition from Verizon Communications Inc. in New York City, a key market the phone company recently entered with its FiOS fiber-optic service. Time Warner Cable earned $322 million, or 91 cents per share, in the

fourth quarter. In the same period a year earlier it lost $8.16 billion, or $25.07 per share, because of a charge to write down the value of the rights that municipalities have granted it to provide cable TV. Revenue rose 3 percent to $4.53 billion, in line with the expectations of analysts polled by Thomson Reuters. Time Warner Cable’s earnings exceeded analysts’ expectations for a profit of 88 cents per share.

Procter & Gamble sales increase CINCINNATI (AP) — The Procter & Gamble Co. sees budget-focused households responding to price cuts, promotions and new versions of its products, and the maker of Pampers diapers and Gillette shavers says its sales are growing at pre-recession rates. P&G reported Thursday that sales rose 6 percent for its second quarter, a turnaround from sales slumps amid the recession. Its profit slid 7 percent on a lower gain from selling business lines. P&G shares rose $1.49, or 2.5 percent, to $62.30 in morning trading, near their 52-week high of $63.48. They were as low as $49.93 last March. The world’s largest consumer products maker said it earned $4.66 billion,

or $1.49 per share, with sales of $21 billion. Earnings got a 47-cent boost from the sale of P&G’s prescription drug business. Analysts expected $1.40 a share on $21.07 billion in sales. P&G said organic sales — a key gauge that excludes acquisitions, currency fluctuations and other such effects — were up 5 percent. The company Thursday raised its full-year forecast by 1 percent to a range of 3 to 5 percent for that measure. “After several years of relative underperformance, category softness and modest share losses, P&G is clearly fighting back,” Deutsche-Bank North America analyst Bill Schmitz Jr. said in a client note.

Blue Cross pays penalty on illegal robocalls RALEIGH (AP) – North Carolina’s largest health insurer paid $95,000 to resolve a dispute with the state over 100,000 “robocalls” pushing the company’s views on the national health care debate, officials for the state and the company said Thursday. Attorney General Roy Cooper’s office released a settlement agreement with Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina. The dis-

pute centered on a wave of calls last fall by an outside political consultant, Raleigh-based Campaign Connections. The voice on a recorded message identified himself as being with Blue Cross. The agreement said Blue Cross didn’t believe it deliberately broke state laws that govern such mass dialings and that any error was technical in nature.
