YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

DAVIDSON COUNTY – Davidson County Sheriff David Grice is fending off complaints from political rivals concerning the distribution of political fliers on county property. Randy Griffie, a volunteer with the campaign for candidate Gerald Hege, supplied The High Point Enterprise with fliers this week that Grice admitted he put in deputies’ mailboxes at the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office. The fliers, titled “Keep Grice Sheriff Grice in 2010,” invited deputies to a campaign meeting that had the purpose of distributing yard signs and discussing how to help with the primary and general election. “I’ve had several people who constantly have asked my employees, ‘What can I do? Where can I get signs at? How can I help?’ This meeting is set up so they can come, those who are off-duty,” Grice said. “... We meet at a place away from this sheriff’s office so there will be no allegations of impropriety.” Mike Tadych, an attorney who represents the N.C. Press Association, and a state elections expert who wished to remain anonymous both said while it’s not a criminal violation, Grice appears to be in violation of a portion of N.C. General Statute 153A-99, which regulates county employee political activity. Under the statute, no employee may use county funds, supplies or equipment for “political purposes,” meaning Grice should have not used the county boxes. Grice said he placed the fliers in the mailboxes while he was on vacation time and used personal money to print the fliers at Kinko’s. “I have encouraged these people to not to use any county resources,” he said. Grice also said he believed the mailboxes were not offlimits because things of different sorts previously have been placed in them, such as church brochures and other fliers not directly related to county business. Tadych said he believes it’s a violation nevertheless because other candidates for the sheriff’s office likely don’t have access to those same boxes. The Davidson County Board of Elections Office has not received any complaints concerning the issue, said Director Ruth Huneycutt. She said the Davidson County Board of Elections Office would need to receive a complaint in writing before it took any action. Tadych said any formal complaint over the fliers first would have to go to the Davidson County Board of Elections Office, which could refer it to the N.C. Board of Elections, and then to the Davidson County District Attorney’s Office if election officials thought there was criminal intent. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

IRS cancels special hours for second time ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

GREENSBORO – Due to this weekend’s adverse winter weather conditions, the IRS has canceled special Saturday hours at its Greensboro office. The office at 320 Federal Place, originally scheduled to open 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., will be closed. It will still hold special hours 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Feb. 20. These special hours were originally scheduled to provide help to taxpayers who earned less than $49,000 in 2009 by determining if these taxpayers are eligible for the Earned Income Tax Credit and offering them free tax preparation assistance and electronic filing. “In the interest of

Autopsy: Heart failure likely killed robbery victim MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

GREENSBORO – A 76year-old robbery victim found dead inside his McLeansville home most likely died from heart failure, according to an autopsy report released Friday.

Charles H. Brown Sr., who was found dead on Dec. 16, is believed to have died from an acute lethal cardiac arrhythmia – which was precipitated from being tied up and assaulted – according to an autopsy released by the N.C. Medical Examiner’s

Office. The Guilford County Sheriff’s Office reported that there were signs of forced entry at Brown’s home at 4922 Streamside Drive and that he was found dead inside an office located at the back of his residence. Brown was a rare coin

said. Raven Lamae Rucker, 19, also was found in possession of a single bag of marijuana. McIntyre was charged with felony possession with intent to manufacture, sell or deliver marijuana, felony maintaining a vehicle to manufacture, sell or deliver, and possession of drug paraphernalia. He was placed in the Davidson County Jail under a $25,000 secured bond. Rucker was charged with simple possession of marijuana. She was charged on a citation and released. In separate incidents, the sheriff’s office also charged DeMario Antoine Metcalf, 22, and Derrick Montrell Mayo, 18, with simple possession of marijuana.

Taxpayers who earned less than $49,000 in 2009 may be eligible for the tax credit up to $5,700 depending on individual factors such as filing status and number of dependents, according to the IRS Web site. Special hours also were canceled Jan. 30 due to the winter weather. Offices in Hickory, Charlotte and Raleigh also will be closed today.

bilia this week, usually the busiest shopping week of the year apart from Christmas for sports retailers. But that drop also can be attributed to the notoriety of the teams, he said. “The big teams are the Dallas Cowboys, Pittsburgh Steelers, Carolina Panthers and the Washington Redskins,” he said. “If those teams are in the Super Bowl, it’s like Christmas all over again for us. It won’t be quite that way this year.” As for which team is selling the most memorabilia,

Smith said it depends on which way you look at it. “We sell on the Internet and in the store. Online sales have been heavily Saints, and in-store sales have been heavily Colts,” he said. “I think nationwide, Saints seem to be the team everyone is pulling for. But it looks like we have a lot of Colts fans locally.” If the winter weather keeps sports fans inside on Sunday, Ric Williams, owner of Rixster Grill, doesn’t believe that it will lower sales. In fact, it may increase

Judge wants Edwards sex tape â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;under lock and keyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; PITTSBORO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A judge wants to put a sex tape of two-time presidential candidate John Edwards â&#x20AC;&#x153;under lock and key,â&#x20AC;? demanding Friday that a former aide to the pilloried politician turn over the video by next week. Superior Court Judge Abraham Penn Jones reprimanded Andrew Young during a brief court hearing in North Carolina for not surrendering the video when deputies went to retrieve it last week. Jones declared that the estranged Edwards confidant could face jail for contempt if he does not relinquish the tape and other items by Wednesday afternoon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These items are to be produced and turned over to the court,â&#x20AC;? Jones said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The court will put them under lock and key â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and under seal â&#x20AC;&#x201C; until the lawsuit is resolved.â&#x20AC;?

Young, who initially claimed to be the father of Hunterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s baby, has written a tell-all book about how Edwards hid his mistress and child amid the 2008 White House campaign. The longtime aide wrote that he found a video in a â&#x20AC;&#x153;box of trashâ&#x20AC;? Hunter had left behind at a home he rented in Chapel Hill. The tape, Young says, shows Edwards in a sexual encounter with a pregnant woman that Young believes to be Hunter. Youngâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attorneys had argued that the tape Hunter was seeking appeared to be different than the one he has. Young told reporters after the court hearing that he and his wife, Cheri, were happy to comply and supply the items. He has previously said that he kept the tape as security and proof of his story while declining large financial offers for the video.

Authorities continue probe of Wednesday homicide ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

GUILFORD COUNTY â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Guilford County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department is continuing to investigate a homicide that occurred Wednesday night. Deputies responded to 2813 Liberty Oaks Drive, apt. B, about 10:55 p.m. in reference to a stabbing, authorities said. The site is off U.S. 421 near Pleasant Garden in southeastern Guilford. Officers found the victim, 48-year-old Alan Dale Atkinson, in the front yard with apparent stab wounds to the chest, deputies said. Atkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roommate, Michael Wade Nidiffer, 43, was in the front yard rendering aid to the vic-

tim, according to the sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office. Investigators later learned the men had been in an ongoing argument that led to the stabbing. The men had reportedly been engaged in a fight in which Atkinson was armed with a baseball bat and Nidiffer had a knife. Authorities did not release a possible motive in the case. Nidiffer was taken into custody without incident at the scene and charged with manslaughter. He was being held in the Guilford County Jail Thursday under a $500,000 bond, according to the sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office.

TOM BLOUNT: Sometimes, reporters just can’t be linked up with friends. TOMORROW

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

City’s ‘no plan’ snow plan impedes workers I, for one, am disgusted by the lack of a snow removal effort for last weekend’s snow storm. We all knew a major storm was coming so there was plenty of time to arrange the plan to clear the streets. I can agree that the main roads are done first, but one would expect that next the residential streets should be done so that people who pay taxes and need to get to work, can. I run a business in High Point that employs over 110 people. We made arrangements to have our parking area cleared on Sunday so that employees could park on Monday. Unfortunately, 60 percent of them could not come in Monday due to the miserable job done by the city on the roads. I did notice on Sunday, when I was out, no less than five plows running side by side on Piedmont Parkway, removing about an inch or two of residual slush. I live less than a mile from that road, and we never saw a plow at all, nor did any plow hit Earlham Place or Feld Avenue, where hundreds of employed High Point residents work. KEN NEVES Jamestown

Free-market economy is one with no rules This weekend, the biggest game in NFL football will be played with set rules and referees judging the game. Would anyone watch the Super Bowl if the teams were able to change the rules in the middle of the game or move the goal posts to give one team an unfair advantage? Why are rules OK for a football game but not for the people that handle our money? The supposed “free market” is exactly that, a game without set rules that can be rigged in the favor of the powerful and against the interest of the people. Obviously, the stakes are much higher when our nation’s economy is at stake. Capitalism and the “free market” are not one in the same. Capitalism is when markets set prices based on supply and demand based on basic rules of the game. It is the government’s responsibility to set the rules of the game and provide the infra-

OTHER VIEW

A recent story on the wide variations in propane prices – and subsequent information provided by readers – suggests users need to pay close attention to their bills and the terms of their service agreements. At present, there are no regulations governing propane sales in North Carolina or the fluctuations based on wholesale prices for the raw product. Therefore the only control consumers have is in the marketplace. Last month, a survey of propane providers showed three companies had prices between $2.70 and $3 a gallon. A fourth provider was charging $4 a gallon. Additional pricing variations could include added charges for small quantity or long-distance delivery. All the companies offer services such as 24-hour delivery, bulk discounts or incentives for new customers. Unfortunately, many rent equipment from their providers or have standing arrangements for delivery, which means they don’t know exactly how much they will be paying until after the propane has been delivered and perhaps a portion of it used. Those who found a price spike in their propane during the coldest month of the year cried foul and threw out allegations of price gouging, but there was little that could be done after the fact. Some of the calls to the local provider went unanswered, though one reader said when she got through to complain, an 8-cent per gallon price reduction was offered. There are several lessons to be gained. First, any time a bill doesn’t seem right, give the business owner a call. Perhaps the bill includes a simple mistake or there is a logical explanation. Second, be a wise consumer and periodically check prices for items such as propane to gauge whether the provider is still providing the best prices. Last, but not least, if a company is no longer competitive and can’t justify prices considerably higher than others in the business, know there are other choices. Barring consumer protection laws, the only defense consumers have when it comes to propane is their ability to make wise choices.

top this war, because our people is very tired with this situation. And if they really want to help our people, we don’t need more soldiers.” These words were spoken by an Afghan woman regarding the plight of women in her country after these last eight-plus years of our nation’s seemingly never-ending occupation of her country. But is anybody listening to her? Are you? “Rethink Afghanistan” is an important documentary film that every American citizen, including every member of the U.S. Congress (not to mention our seemingly incompetent president), should watch in full. Please watch it. You will gain insight pertaining to the futility of this war. The Afghan woman quoted above, among others from Afghanistan and elsewhere, who’ve spoken out against our nation’s war, occupation, and current escalation of its war in Afghanistan, can be viewed at: http://rethinkafghanistan.com/videos.php As the saying goes, to understand our future, we need to understand our past. On Nov. 20, 2009, Bill Moyers Journal broadcast a show called “LBJ’s Path to War,” in which previously classified audiotape recordings of President Johnson were played. The recordings depict a man who was clearly torn about America’s involvement in Vietnam, ultimately choosing politics over the lives of American soldiers, Vietnamese civilians and over our nation as a whole: www.pbs.org/moyers/journal/11202009/watch.html. Regarding Afghanistan, the most revealing documents to date were published last week by the New York Times. These documents were the leaked cables sent by Ambassador Karl W. Eikenberry pertaining to the proposed military build-up championed by Gen. Stanley McChrystal. The documents can be read at: http://documents.nytimes.com/eikenberry-s-memos-onthe-strategy-in-afghanistan?hp#p=1 The initial cable from Eikenberry states in part: “The proposed troop increase will bring vastly increased costs and an indefinite, large-scale U.S. military role in Afghanistan, generating the need for yet-more civilians. An increased U.S. and foreign role in security and

governance will increase Afghan dependency, at least in the nearterm, and it will deepen the military involvement in a mission that most agree cannot be won solely by military means.” Do you understand the betrayal? It’s Afghanistan-etnam! OPINION Bill Moyers’ program concluded: Robert “Now in a different world, Healy at a different time, and with a ■■■ different president, we face the prospect of enlarging a different war. But once again, we’re fighting in remote provinces against an enemy who can bleed us slowly and wait us out, because he will still be there when we are gone. “Once again, we are caught between warring factions in a country where other foreign powers failed before us. Once again, every setback brings a call for more troops, although no one can say how long they will be there or what it means to win. Once again, the government we are trying to help is hopelessly corrupt and incompetent. “And once again, a president pushing for critical change at home is being pressured to stop dithering, be tough, show he’s got the guts, by sending young people 7,000 miles from home to fight and die, while their own country is coming apart. “And once again, the loudest case for enlarging the war is being made by those who will not have to fight it, who will be safely in their beds while the war grinds on. And once again, a small circle of advisers debates the course of action, but one man will make the decision. “We will never know what would have happened if Lyndon Johnson had said no to more war. We know what happened because he said yes.” Tragically, President Obama, experiencing a similar situation regarding Afghanistan, also said yes. Stop this war, America! Demand peace! Bring the troops home! Now! ROBERT HEALY is a veteran of the U.S. Army and graduate of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. He lives in High Point.

The twin bombing came

on the final day of an annual Shiite religious observance, which has been the target of three largescale attacks in Iraq this week alone. In Pakistan, two bombs targeting Shiites observing the same holy day Friday killed at least 25 people and wounded around 100 more.

KABUL (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Most of the soldiers were still asleep when gunfire rang out and insurgents stormed their isolated base from all sides. Eight Americans and three Afghan soldiers died. The Americans werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even supposed to be there. Combat Outpost Keating had been scheduled to be closed months before the Oct. 3 assault. A U.S. military investigation released Friday blamed lapses in oversight and a delay in closing the remote outpost for one of the heaviest American combat losses in a single engagement.

Some have them, some don’t Before you read...

–

Christianity basically has three major divisions: Catholic, Orthodox (Greek Orthodox, for example), and Protestant (meaning all Christians who are not Catholic or Orthodox, whether Methodist, Amish, etc.). The three divisions all teach basically the same thing about Jesus, but they differ in the details. One of those details is the contents of their holy writing, the Bible. Protestants believe that the Bible should contain 66 books. Catholics believe that the Bible should contain 73 plus books. The Orthodox believe that the Bible should contain 76 plus books. Now for the explanation.

ll Christian groups agree that the New Testament (NT) should only contain 27 books. The disagreement exists over the number of Old Testament (OT) books. All three Christian divisions agree the Old Testament should have these books: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges, Ruth, I & II Samuel, I & II Kings, I & II Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther, Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesias-

tes, Song of Songs, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel, Daniel, and what are known as the Twelve Minor Prophets (books like Jonah). This makes 39 books. And the Protestants stop at that, for a STUDYING total of 66 books. The Catholic Bible, along THE CHURCH with the NT, have the 39 books of the Protestant Mark OT plus Tobias (or Tobit), Nickens Judith, Baruch, Ecclesias■■■ ticus (or Sirach), Wisdom, and I & II Maccabees; additions to Esther and Daniel are also included. Therefore, Catholics believe that the Bible should contain 73 plus books. The additions to Esther include six short parts. The additions to Daniel are three short parts called the Prayer of Azariah and Song of the Young Men (or Children)(this is one part), Susanna, and Bel and the Dragon. Yet Catholics have a special name for these “additional” books, which is deuterocanonical. See, “canonical” means

“holy writing” and “deutero” means secondary. So these books are included in the Catholic Bible, but they are identified differently. The Orthodox Bible, along with the 27 books of the NT, have the same books as the Catholic Bible plus it can contain Prayer of Manaseh, I Esdras, II Esdras, III Maccabees, IV Maccabees, Odes (prayers or psalms), and an additional psalm, Psalm 151. The reason I say “can contain” is because the Orthodox Church is not like the Catholic Church, a single unit, but more like the Protestants, there are different Orthodox, such as Russian Orthodox and Greek Orthodox. But why the difference? First we have to talk about the development of the OT. In the 300s and 200s BC, the Jews in Egypt translated their holy writing from their native tongue of Hebrew into Greek which was becoming the dominant language of the time. This version is called the Septuagint. The Septuagint contained the above books of the Orthodox OT except II Esdras. About 1,000 years later, in the Middle

Ages, a group of Jewish scholars produced what is called the Masoretic Text. This was a Hebrew version of the Jewish Bible. Remember that the Jews already had a Greek version, the Septuagint, but 1000 years later they wanted an authorized copy in the original Hebrew language. In the process of developing the Masoretic Text, the scholars reduced the number of books to the 39 books. But that was the Jewish scholars. The Catholics and Orthodox of the Middle Ages kept using the versions they had, which was based on the Septuagint. The Protestants finally showed up in the very late Middle Ages, in the 1500s. At first, Protestant leaders used the deuterocanonicals, but eventually in 1648, in the Westminster Confession (one of the most prominent Protestant statements of faith at the time), the deuterocanonicals were left out of the OT. And they have generally been out of the Protestant Bibles ever since. QUESTIONS/COMMENTS: Contact Mark Nickens at drnickens@triad.rr.com; other summaries available a www.drnickens.com.

Age is just a number, but still important T

wo men were talking about a project they wanted to tackle together. One said, “Do you think we might be a little old to take on such a venture?” Jack replied, “No, we can do it. After all, age is just a number.” When he was 79 years old, Elton Trueblood, the internationally known Quaker philosopher, writer of books, gifted public speaker and university professor who taught at Harvard, Stanford, Earlham and other prominent schools, would say to my wife and me, “Bill and Kitty, I get to be 80 my next birthday!” He spoke with enthusiasm and optimism as he looked ahead. I have had enough birthdays and enjoyed them all to the extent that I like the idea of it being a habit I’m in no hurry to break.

In my teenage years, I said, “When I get old, I’m going to wear red ties. I want to look like I am alive.” When I do get to be an SHARING older gentleman, I will wear red THE SPIRIT ties. Growing older has become Bill a habit I enjoy. Ellis An ancient Christian, Polycarp, was given the choice of denying Christ or suffering martyrdom. The aged saint said, “Eighty and six year I have served my Savior and He hath never done me any harm; and shall I deny Him now?” He was growing older and stronger in his faith each day. I had a birthday again on Jan. 25, 2010. Monday morn-

ing, Kitty and I were in Charleston so I could give the prayer for the opening of the West Virginia Senate. President-Lt. Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin gaveled the session to order and graciously introduced me. When I finished my prayer, the president asked the Senate to join in singing, “Happy Birthday Brother Ellis.” The senators, led by Clark S. Barnes, sang beautifully. What a day! I also did that on my 49th birthday, a few years ago, in Washington, D. C., for the United States House of Representatives and was introduced by then-Speaker Thomas P. “Tip” O’Neill, who was in his 14th term as the Democrat representative for the 8th District of Massachusetts. My son, Mark, sent a card for my birthday. It was a beautiful

card with good prose, but Mark wrote the words I appreciated most: “I used to think your age was old, but now that you are there, you make it seem so young.” Those of us who are in the habit of growing older do not necessarily have to act and talk that way. William Ryan wrote, “No man is really old until his mother stops worrying about him.” Oliver Wendell Holmes introduced us to the humor of many birthdays with these words: “To be seventy years young is sometimes far more cheerful and hopeful than to be forty years old. Add this story to the aging saga. An adult asked a little boy, “How old is your father?” The boy replied, “He’s in the middle ages.” Kitty’s sister, Stephanie, when she was five, asked,

Regaining Civility Whether we have become a less civil nation has been widely discussed of late. From politicians and "talking heads" screaming at each other to celebrities throwing temper tantrums, to the everyday incivilities on our roadways and in our marketplaces. There is a general sense that we have become a nation of ill-tempered boors. That is the bad news. The good news is that in recognizing our incivility there is hope for redemption. Perhaps we need etiquette lessons from Emily Post, or civics classes in our high school. But, on a more basic level, perhaps we just need to recognize that the problem arises because we have cultivated individualism and its corresponding selfishness to such an extreme that we have forgotten a central teaching of Christianity, and indeed of all true religion. After all, isn't loving your neighbor as yourself the lynch pin of both morals and manners? A simple litmus test for every thought, word and deed is to ask oneself whether one intends to help orhurt with one's words or deeds. If our intention is to help, then we can be pretty sure that we are being civil, whereas if our true intention is to hurt someone, either emotionally or physically, we can be pretty certain that we are not being civil. So, we should consider our actions in that light, whether they are intended to help or hurt someone, and strive to always come down on the side of civility. Do nothing from selfishness or conceit, but in humility count others better than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.

Hatred Stirs Up Dissension, but Love Covers All Wrongs. Proverbs 10:12

In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion. Psalms 71:1 (KJV)

“Mother, were you a little girl when George Washington was president?” Age is just a number and whatever age we are should be just fine and a perfect fit at the time. Man has always been conscious of his age. A prayer of Moses has in it these words: “Lord, you have been our dwelling place in all generations. So teach us to number our days. That we may gain a heart of wisdom” (Psalm 90:1, 12). If age is just a number, it is still very important. Enjoy every day as you try to love God with all your heart and others as yourself. Keep counting the years and make it a good habit. Happy next birthday to you! BILL ELLIS, P. O. Box 345, Scott Depot, WV 25560 | (304) 757-6089

The LORD make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you. Numbers 6:25

The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from violence.

2 Samuel 22:3 KJV

These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

RI man charged with operating on dog BARRINGTON, R.I. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A Rhode Island man who says he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford veterinary care for his dog has been charged with illegally operating on the pet. Alan MacQuattie recently removed a cyst from the leg of his 14year-old Labrador mix. The dog was operated on again by professionals to deal with an infection from the first surgery. MacQuattie, 63, who says he is disabled and living on Social Security, said Friday he used local anesthetic to operate on the cyst and removed it on his own since he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have money for a vet.

FAA: Crew unaware of plane attack plot DETROIT â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The pilots of Northwest Airlines Flight 253 didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t immediately know that a passenger had tried to ignite a bomb on the Christmas Day trip from Amsterdam to Detroit, the head of the Federal Aviation Administration said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was (a) communications gap between the cabin and the flight deck crew,â&#x20AC;? he said Thursday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The flight deck crew reported they had someone who had attempted to set firecrackers off, so it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t elevate to anyone â&#x20AC;&#x201C; whether it was the cockpit or air traffic control â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to anything of great seriousness at that point,â&#x20AC;? Randy Babbitt told a House panel on Friday.

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; No, maybe he canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. President Barack Obama, who insisted he would succeed where other presidents had failed to fix the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health care system, now concedes the effort may die in Congress. The presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newly conflicting signals could frustrate Democratic lawmakers who are hungry for guidance from the White House as they try to salvage the effort to extend coverage to millions of uninsured Americans and hold down spiraling medical

costs. Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comments Thursday night came hours after Republican Scott Brown was sworn in to replace the late Edward M. Kennedy, leaving Democrats without their filibuster-proof majority in the Senate, and Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s signature health legislation with no clear path forward. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very important for us to have a methodical, open process over the next several weeks, and then letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s go ahead and make a decision,â&#x20AC;? Obama said at a Demo-

cratic National Committee fundraiser. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And it may be that ... if Congress decides weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to do it, even after all the facts are laid out, all the options are clear, then the American people can make a judgment as to whether this Congress has done the right thing for them or not,â&#x20AC;? the president said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how democracy works. There will be elections coming up, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to make a determination and register their concerns.â&#x20AC;?

Some ask if swine flu epidemic is over ATLANTA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; If the U.S. swine flu epidemic isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t over, it certainly looks as if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on its last legs. While federal health officials are not ready to declare the threat has passed and the outbreak has run its course, they did report Friday that

for the fourth week in a row, no states had widespread flu activity. U.S. cases have been declining since late October. One U.S. expert said the epidemic has â&#x20AC;&#x153;one foot in the grave,â&#x20AC;? and there are many reasons to believe there wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be another wave later in the year.

GUILFORD COUNTY – Last month, several Greensboro residents wanted to speak to the Guilford County Board of Commissioners about financing for the proposed $19 million Greensboro Aquatic Center. Not a chance. The opponents left halfway through the meeting after they realized they wouldn’t be able to speak on the matter because it was on the board’s agenda. Commissioners voted unanimously to approve nearly $7 million in hotel tax revenue for the project with no discussion. The approval was part of the consent agenda. People often leave board meetings disappointed because they are not allowed to discuss agenda items unless the issue is part of a scheduled public hearing. Commissioners, who have battled over the rule for years, soon may take another look. Board Chairman Skip Alston directed top county officials Thursday to review the policy for a possible discussion after Democratic Commissioner Paul Gibson suggested a change. “The Greensboro City Council allows people to speak on agenda items,” the Greensboro Democrat said during a board meeting. “Our citizens often don’t have a chance to speak, and they should be able to do that. We have an obligation to the people. We ought to hear from them.” Determined interest groups can get a hearing, but it can take time. In 2007, Squire Davis Road resident Cathy Poole won a hearing after several neighbors spent months sending e-mails to commissioners about the Heart of the Triad development plan. Poole wants to stop roads that could cut through farmland. Since then, the group has offered comments when no related property or transportation matters are on the board’s agenda. “You hear from people on these burning issues,” said Republican Commissioner Billy Yow. “People call us.” dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

Cornerstone Health Care has announced it may not renew its contract with United Health Care due to a billing dispute.

Cornerstone may cut ties with insurer BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Patients covered by United Health Care could find themselves in a conundrum in the coming months due to disagreements between the insurance provider and Cornerstone Health Care. Cornerstone officials announced Thursday it would not renew its contract with UHC when it expires May 29 “unless critical issues are resolved,” according to a statement issued by the health care system. Bonnie Lovell, director of managed care at Cornerstone, said the company was not at liberty to discuss specifics about the disagreements. “There are numerous administrative and operational issues which have not been resolved,” Lovell said. “We’ve worked with them over the last few years to resolve some of them but have not been able to resolve all of those differences.” Cornerstone sent out 3,200 letters to its patients covered by UHC to notify them of the issue. If an agreement

Cornerstone has installed an information line for patients and employers with questions regarding the negotiations with UHC which can be accessed by calling 802-INFO (4636).

is not reached, patients under UHC’s commercial and Medicare Advantage plans will still be seen by Cornerstone physicians but may be required to pay out-of-pocket for their expenses. Roger Rollman, a local spokesman for UHC, said Cornerstone elected to terminate the contract, and the insurance provider regretted that Cornerstone chose to send letters of notifications to its patients at such an early date in the negotiation process because it could “potentially cause concern and anxiety” among the public. Rollman said the disagreement between the company included disputes over UHC’s reimbursement rates, but

Lovell said the disagreement was not caused by reimbursement rates. “We are negotiating in good favor for a contract change,” he said. “The existing reimbursement that we supply (Cornerstone) with is consistent with our reimbursement in the High Point and Triad area.” These types of negotiation processes can be a common occurrence in the health care industry, Rollman added. “That’s why you negotiate,” he said. “Area employers and consumers have made it abundantly clear to UHC that they expect us to do all that we can to help contain costs. It is our intent to continue contract negotiations, and it’s our hope that we will resolve in a new and mutually beneficial agreement.” Cornerstone Health Care went through a similar negotiation process with Blue Cross Blue Shield in 2000. A negotiation was reached with BCBS about a month before its contract expired.

Former deputy says candidacy cost him his job BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

DAVIDSON COUNTY – Edgar Shuler, a former lieutenant with the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office, said he had no immediate plans of announcing his first run for political office until the sheriff of Davidson County asked for his badge and gun last month. Shuler, 40, claims he was fired by David Grice after the sheriff learned the 13year veteran of the department was planning on running against him for sheriff. He said he was fired Jan. 27, which led to the announcement this week that he will file as a Republican, joining three others who have announced their intentions to run for sheriff. “My supervisor ... called me. I was in my office, he

Edgar Shuler, a former lieutenant with the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office, says more reforms are needed in the department. called and said, ‘The sheriff wanted to see you,’ so I said, ‘All right,’” Shuler said. “He came over and got me from my office, took me over to the sheriff. The sheriff wasn’t in there yet. He was walk-

ing down the hall. He came in and gave me that look. He said, ‘I’ve been seeing things and hearing things.’ He said, ‘I didn’t know you was a disgruntled employee.’ I said ‘Sheriff, I’m not a

disgruntled employee. I just think there needs to be some changes.’ He said, ‘I need your gun, and I need your badge. Your services are no longer needed.’” Shuler, who started his career with the Thomasville Police Department in 1996, said he has always had a goal of being sheriff, but he seriously started considering it about eight months ago. He said another law enforcement officer who is assisting him with his campaign recently launched a Web site for him. Shuler, who said he was going to inform Grice of his political intentions the second week of February, believes the Web site is what alerted Grice to his plans to run for sheriff. “I knew he would have probably fired me anyway,” Shuler said. “... I think he

feels like it’s a threat or it was like I stabbed him in the back with the Web site going live before I talked to him.” Shuler said the driving force behind his run for sheriff is that he believes there needs to be changes at the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office. He claims the current sheriff is using the “buddy system” and is wasting taxpayer dollars. “I worked under the Hege administration and the Grice administration,” Shuler said. “There needs to be more changes. Then him firing me made me more determined than anything to continue on with this. That’s what I am going to do.” Citing it was a personnel matter, Grice would not comment on Shuler’s candidacy this week. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

Soap matriarch Frances Reid dies at 95 MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

LOS ANGELES – Frances Reid, who was the last original cast member of “Days of Our Lives” and portrayed the soap opera’s matriarch, Alice Horton, for 42 years, died Wednesday. She was 95. In announcing her death, NBC called Reid “a true icon of the daytime genre.” No other details regarding her death were provided. Texasborn Reid Reid was already a veteran of Broadway when she debuted in the premiere of “Days of Our Lives” on Nov. 8, 1965. She made her final appearance in 2007. Familiar with the demands of daily, live television after appearing on the soaps “As the World Turns” and “The Edge of Night,” Reid was hesitant to take the part on “Days.” But roles for women over 40 were hard to come by, so she finally decided to accept the role, according to an NBC biography. She agreed to do the show “just for a short while,” Reid said decades later. “But I found it very interesting... and I was having fun.” Her character was a housewife and longtime hospital volunteer.

Orchid show offers great sights, advice A

couple of weeks ago, I visited the Daniel Stowe Botanical Gardenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Orchid Spectacularâ&#x20AC;? Show and Sale. The gardens are located in Belmont on 380 acres of meadows, woodlands and lakefront land established by retired textile executive Daniel J. Stowe. This was the gardenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third annual Orchid Spectacular, which is in addition to the gardenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s permanent display in The Orchid Conservatory. Literally hundreds of dazzling and rare varieties were on display with orchids and orchid supplies for sale. About a dozen exhibitors created natural 6 foot by 6 foot displays of their special varieties which were also judged for first, second and third place ribbons as well as some Trophy Blue Ribbons for really outstanding quality orchids. Some orchid encyclopedias list almost 11,000 species in almost 800 genera in the world that have been documented and hybridized. Most orchid varieties have two blooming periods â&#x20AC;&#x201C; fall and spring. New plants may have fewer blooms

but as they age, blooms are more prolific. Popular orchid varieties are those that have a track record for being easy to grow ECOLOGY and producing blooms year Gwyn after year. There Riddick are orchids that â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; thrive in almost every type of climate. They are no longer a highly delicate and difficult flower to grow. Three of the easiest to find and grow species are Paphiopedilum, Phalaenopsis and Cattleya. There were many other species I had never seen before and they were spectacular. The Piedmont Orchid Society was a main anchor of the show and they received the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Best Exhibitâ&#x20AC;? award from the American Orchid Society for their central exhibit using natural logs, ferns, vegetation and mosses to display their orchids around and over a constructed foot bridge which turned out to be a popular place for visitors to get their

picture taken as a souvenir. Paphiopedilums also known as the ladyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s slipper orchids, originate in the jungles of the Far East and Indonesia. They grow in humus and other material on the forest floor, on cliffs in pockets of humus and sometimes in trees. Their blooms grow at the ends of long erect stems sprouting from the crown of the plant. Phalaenopsis is also called the moth orchid. It is perhaps the best orchid for home culture. It is a favorite because it flowers often throughout the year. Typical home temperatures and climate work well for the orchid. The bloom resembles a moth in flight with wings spread and they bloom all along a tall erect stem rising above the plant. Cattleya is a very popular orchid for the home they come in many colors, shapes, forms and sizes. Cattleyas have developed water-storage organs which are large, fleshy roots covered with a spongy, waterretentive layer above ground. For this reason they are in the epiphyte class which is also called â&#x20AC;&#x153;air plantâ&#x20AC;? since they

can need very few waterings and seem to live on moisture from the air. Their common bloom looks like a miniature of the typical â&#x20AC;&#x153;corsage orchidâ&#x20AC;? often worn by ladies at Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day. Some outstanding blue ribbon winner orchids I saw were â&#x20AC;&#x153;Trick or Treatâ&#x20AC;? which was a brilliant orange grown by Ironwood Estates orchids. They also displayed â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jewel Box Scheherazadeâ&#x20AC;? which was a deep blood red. UNC Charlotte displayed a Dendrochilium filiforme called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Willow Pondâ&#x20AC;? which had long drupes of pale green yellow color. Woodland Orchids showed â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tropical Heatwaveâ&#x20AC;? which was a burgundy ruffled bloom with a white background and a yellow eye. Carolina Orchids received a blue ribbon for their Paphiopedilum â&#x20AC;&#x153;Angel Hairâ&#x20AC;? which exhibited a ten inch trailing wisp of blooms with sepals of burgundy brown stripes and speckles on a creme yellow background. Nearby Seagrove Orchids had a very outstanding and memorable display of dozens

Teen reluctant to disappoint mom with a change of plans

ear Abby: I am a 16-year-old girl who is starting to seriously consider colleges and plan for the future. I found an amazing school close to home that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d love to attend â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a problem. Two years ago, after much thought and consideration, I decided I wanted to be a doctor. My mother completely supported my choice and was more than a little happy about it. I recently accepted a position as a tutor, and now I realize that I love being able to teach children and help them with their studies. The college I want to attend is a teaching college, not a school for premed studies. I am confident in my decision to become a teacher, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m afraid my mother will be disappointed and upset that I no longer want to be a doctor. How can I tell her that my dreams have changed? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; E.D. Not M.D. in Massachusetts Dear E.D.: This is something that should be discussed with your guidance counselor at school. You set your goal of obtaining a medical degree when you were only 14. While your aspirations of becoming

a teacher are admirable, it is possible that once you reach college and are ADVICE exposed to a broader Dear range of Abby intellectual â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; opportunities your goal may change again. This is why many college students declare their major upon completing their sophomore year. As to talking about this to your mother, remember that careers in medicine and education have some things in common â&#x20AC;&#x201C; among them dedication and determination. So start practicing now. Dear Abby: My best friend and I are talented artists. She receives a lot of attention for her work. She sells whenever she wants to, shows her work in New York and teaches at a prestigious school. I have many successes in my career, but I have had to work very hard for everything. She hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. I am beginning to resent it because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m growing exhausted from trying to accomplish my dreams. I have also noticed that on occasions when I

have asked my friend for help, she hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t followed through. I am starting to conclude that she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t respect me. I must admit that the amount of attention she gets for her work frosts me. Is there a chance to save this friendship, or should we part ways? Or, am I too selfish and jealous? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Talented Artist in Canada Dear Talented Artist: Let me put it this way â&#x20AC;&#x201C; unless you are able to find it within yourself to forgive your friend for her success, then I doubt your friendship will continue much further. Dear Abby: My birthday is in two months, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a â&#x20AC;&#x153;bigâ&#x20AC;? one. As of today, two people â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a close friend and my mother â&#x20AC;&#x201C; felt the need to tell me that â&#x20AC;&#x153;someoneâ&#x20AC;? has planned a surprise birthday party for me. I am disgusted that they spoiled the surprise. Why would someone want to take the joy out

Thorne shared that beginners should probably start with Phalaenopsis as the species easiest to re-bloom. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Orchids are not difficult, just misunderstoodâ&#x20AC;? she said. Her advice is to let them become nearly dry between waterings and that too much water is the most frequent cause of orchid death in the home.

“You can’t trust anybody these days,” Unlucky Louie said to me gloomily. Louie had taken a broken VCR to a repair shop and had found this sign on the door: “We fix anything. Please knock. Doorbell doesn’t work.” Back at the club, Louie was East in his penny Chicago game, and West led his singleton heart against South’s contract of four spades. Dummy played low, Louie took the queen and South followed with ... the ten. a heart ruff and a club.

CLUB SHIFT Louie pondered but was afraid South, not West, was out of hearts. So Louie shifted to a club, and South took the ace, led a diamond to dummy’s ace, picked up the trumps and lost a club and two hearts. “Nothing is as it seems,” Louie sighed. South would go down if he carelessly played the nine or jack of hearts at Trick One. Since West would have led the ten from 10-9-2 and the jack from J-10-2, Louie would have no trouble reading the lead of the deuce as a singleton. The defense would then get two hearts,

Earnhardt wants to stay out front DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) – Here’s something you haven’t read in a while: Dale Earnhardt Jr. is in first place. OK, so it was only two laps. And it was a rainshortened practice at Daytona International Speedway – the place where Earnhardt is, well, kind of good. Still, in a season in which Earnhardt is facing a new round of intensifying questions about his lack of on-track success, it’s better to be fast than slow even if it doesn’t count toward anything. Earnhardt led two of his Hendrick Motorsports teammates to the top of the speed chart in Friday’s abbreviated practice session,

and it could be the first sign that he’s back on the right track after the worst Earnhardt season of his career. “His heart really, really, really is in it,” said teammate Mark Martin. “I think you’ll see a spectacular year for him.” His initial chances to prove it come today with Daytona 500 qualifying and tonight in the exhibition Shootout, a race he’s won twice before, including in his 2008 debut with Hendrick. Earnhardt won just one Cup race that season and was winless last season.

HPU women cautious vs. Coastal Carolina BY STEVE HANF ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

HIGH POINT – Considering the disappointment experienced by the High Point University women last Saturday, it could have been tempting to pop in an uplifting movie this week. Might footage of the Panthers’ destruction of Coastal Carolina earlier this year have helped chase away memories of a 75-62 loss to Liberty? “We didn’t watch it at all,” HPU coach Tooey Loy said of the 79-39 win on Jan. 4. “One thing that has worried me all year a little bit about this team, we have a tendency to try to overlook people and not bring our best basketball. Coastal just did not play very well, had one kid out – we left that tape alone and prepared like we do for everybody else.” Today’s 2 p.m. tip in Conway, S.C., marks the first time the Panthers have played since they lost a first-place showdown with Big South Conference rival Liberty. That tape did get viewed. It did not get two thumbs up. “We didn’t have that great of a first half and we were really bad in the second half – really bad defensively,” Loy said. “It’s more about how you’ve got to play 40 minutes to beat a good team.” At 13-8 overall and 6-2 in the Big South, the Panthers remain in the hunt for a league championship behind the Flames and Gardner-Webb. High Point’s challenge today and again Monday at Charleston Southern is to hold serve against teams in the middle of the conference pack. Coastal enters today’s action at 12-8, 3-5, while CSU is 11-10, 3-5. “Hopefully we understand how tough it is to win on the road. That’s what we’ll talk about, how much better you have to be to beat them in their gym,” Loy said. “There’s nothing to overlook against these two teams. Both of them have played some very good basketball this year and have good wins on their schedule.” Coastal is 8-1 at Kimbel Arena this season, but owns a five-game losing streak to the Panthers. Senior Devin Rivers, who missed most of the last meeting, is active in the post, while junior forward Sydnei Moss leads the team in scoring (14.9 points per game) and rebounding (6.5). Senior guard Amanda Stull averages 10.3 points and a league-leading 3.0 steals per game. In the first meeting, Panther freshman guard Erin Reynolds enjoyed a big night with a career-high 15 points to go along with five rebounds and five assists. HPU junior forward Mackenzie Maier continues to lead the Big South and ranks 11th in the nation with 2.9 blocks per game. shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

Snow delays HPU men’s game BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

EDITOR’S NOTE

HIGH POINT – Staying on the side of caution, High Point University delayed the weekend travel plans of its men’s basketball team. With a foot of snow forecast for the Radford, Va., area, HPU and Radford University officials decided to delay the Panthers game at the Highlanders from tonight at 7 to 3 p.m. on Sunday. About six inches of snow had fallen in the Radford area by Friday night, Snow and sleet was expected to continue until this afternoon. HPU head coach Scott Cherry said Friday night that he was unsure if the Panthers would make the trip sometime today or wait until Sunday morning. The Panthers will be trying to sweep the Highlanders after winning 83-77 at the Millis Center on Jan. 9. “We’re still undecided,” Cherry said. “We’ll have to await word on when the interstates are open. If we hear they are open tomorrow, we’ll go on up. If not, we’ll just wait until Sunday.” Cherry’s preference is to go tomorrow so that his squad can keep its routine of traveling the day before, getting in a practice at the opponent’s arena and then get in a shootaround the next day. Winter weather forced HPU to make a long trip on the day of the game once this season. That didn’t turn out so well for the Panthers, as they lost 109-76 at Marshall.

----

The HPU men’s basketball game at Radford scheduled for tonight at 7 has been rescheduled for Sunday at 3 p.m. “It’s a lot tougher going up the day of the game,” Cherry said. “Riding on a bus and then getting off and playing the game is a lot different than going up the night before and sleeping in a motel and having your usual meal and workout and shootaround.” Cherry is unsure what the routine will be if HPU is forced to travel on Sunday morning. He said he told his players to not to dwell on their poor luck if they cannot travel tonight. The Panthers are trying to rebound from a 70-66 loss Tuesday at Longwood that dropped HPU to 11-11 overall. Radford is 12-10 and 8-4 in the Big South. HPU is 6-5 in the league. “It’s not ideal if we have to go up Sunday,” Cheery said. “I told the team to just go out and try to do their best under the circumstances because the weather is something that we can’t control. Radford had the same thing happen to them last weekend when its game at UNC Asheville was postponed because of snow. That didn’t turn out too well for them (a 92-84 loss). I hope we have a little better result.” gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

HIT AND RUN

inter’s chill may be gripping most of the nation, but NASCAR action heats up today at Daytona International Speedway. Weather-permitting, qualifying for the front-row starting positions for the Daytona 500 is set for today at 1 p.m. (WGHP, Ch. 8 has the live coverage). There is no threat of snow, sleet or freezing rain in Florida today.

Instead, we get to enjoy step one on the road to The Great American Race, slated for Sunday, Feb. 14. In addition to determining the top two starters for the 500, today’s qualifying sets the lineup for the Twin 150s on Thursday. Those races set most of the remaining starting spots for the 500, save for the standard provisionals at the rear of the field. I love the fact that qualifying for the Dayto-

na 500 is a unique experience. No other race on the Cup schedule offers such a dramatic format. Plus, the Twin 150s can prove unpredictable. The threat of a multi-car crash lurks on nearly every lap. And that can completely alter the look of the Daytona 500 grid. So enjoy the action, race fans. Life’s a beach for the next eight days.

PREP GAMES INFO

---

Nearly every sporting event involving high school teams has been called off today. Many area basketball squads will play four games next week in an attempt to finish in time for conference tournaments the week of Feb. 15. Local wrestling teams suffered the worst fate, their conference tournaments all scratched for today with no makeups possible before the dual-team playoffs begin Tuesday and the regionals take place next weekend. NCHSAA swimming and diving regionals for 1A and 2A were canceled, with all automatic regional qualifiers advancing to next Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s state meet. The 3A West regional will be held this Sunday at noon, 4A Central swimming will be Sunday at 2 and 4A West swimming will be Sunday at 4.

Dustin Johnson walks the second fairway under an umbrella during the second round of the Northern Trust Open golf tournament at Riviera Country Club in the Pacific Palisades area of Los Angeles on Friday. Johnson aced the sixth hole and shares the tournament lead with Steve Stricker at 10-under 132.

Stricker, Johnson share lead at rainy Riviera said Stricker, who was at 10-under 132. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was pretty miserable out there today.â&#x20AC;? Johnson, also 10 under after making his lone bogey on the 15th, was to return Saturday to face the par-5 17th and the 473-yard closing hole at Riviera, which was playing so long in the cold and rain that some players barely reached the green with a 3-wood. Johnson and Stricker were three shots clear of Andres Romero, who had three holes remaining. Fortyone players failed to finish the second round. Phil Mickelson, trying to become the first player to win three straight years at Riviera, had a 66 and was at 4-under 138. Darkness came early because of the gray clouds, and completing the second round in such conditions was impossible. Players had

LOS ANGELES (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Dustin Johnson made a hole-in-one and Steve Stricker had seven birdies to brighten an otherwise dreary day at rainy Riviera and finish atop the leaderboard Friday at the Northern Trust Open. Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 8-iron from 152 yards landed between the pin and the famous bunker in the middle of the green at No. 6, spinning back into the cup for an ace that put him in the lead for most of the afternoon. He had two holes left when play was halted by darkness. Stricker, playing in a morning rain that never relented, chipped in for birdie on the 18th and nearly made an ace on No. 4 when his hybrid from 230 yards lipped out. He shot a 6-under 65 and had the clubhouse lead. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very happy to be done with the round, to tell you the truth,â&#x20AC;?

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Thongchai Jaidee of Thailand shot a 6-under 66 Friday to take the second-round lead at the Dubai Desert Classic. The 40-year-old former Thai army paratrooper made the most of calm and cool conditions to make six birdies. Thongchai reached 8 under and holds a one-shot lead on Lee Westwood (65) Stephen Dodd (69) and Miguel Angel Jimenez (67). A double bogey at the last hole left first-round leader Rory McIlroy at 70, among a group of five players two shots behind Thongchai. Tom Watson also shot 70 to trail by five shots. Colin Montgomerie (76) fell 11 strokes back. Thongchai has four career wins on the European Tour, including the Indonesia Open and the Ballantineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Championship in 2009. He sees this tournament as a warmup for the Masters. In 2006, Thongchai missed the cut at Augusta after shooting 78 and 75. After overcoming a serious back injury sustained two years ago, he wants a second chance at the Masters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I went to Augusta first time, I was not familiar with the place,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know those greens. I three-putted seven times and had one four-putt. I would like to get that right.â&#x20AC;? Holding the lead in Dubai would go a long way toward that goal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have played well here in Dubai in the past and had a top-five finish here when Tiger Woods won in 2006,â&#x20AC;? Thongchai said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am driving the ball well, hitting my irons well and having worked hard on my putting. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what I need here and for the Masters.â&#x20AC;?

Herman leads Moonah Classic by three strokes FINGAL, Australia (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Jim Herman shot a 2-under-par 70 on Friday to take a three-stroke lead after the second round of the Moonah Classic. The American who shot a course-record 62 in the opening round at Moonah Links, had a bogey-free, two-round total of 12-under 132 on the course designed by five-time British Open champion Peter Thomson. Australian Steven Jones shot 70 and was in second place at 9-under. He was followed by compatriot Andrew Buckle and Fabian Gomez of Argentina, both with 68s and tied for third, five strokes behind Herman in the tournament jointly sanctioned by the U.S. Nationwide and Australasian PGA tours. American Douglas LaBelle (69), Australians Steven Bowditch (68) and Andre Stolz (72) and Canadian Jon Mills (70) were tied for fifth, six strokes off the lead. Hermanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strong showing comes

Celtics rally past Nets THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BOSTON â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Eddie House scored all 10 of his points in the fourth quarter, helping the Boston Celtics overcome a slow start and pull away from the New Jersey Nets 96-87 on Friday night. The Nets led 73-72 through three quarters. Ray Allen scored 26 points as Boston won its third straight game. Brook Lopez scored 19 points and Devin Harris added 17 for New Jersey, which fell to 4-45 with its fifth straight loss.

BUCKS 114, KNICKS 107 NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Brandon Jennings showed the New York Knicks what they could have had, scoring 19 of his 22 points in the second half and leading the Milwaukee Bucks to a 114-107 victory Friday night. David Lee had a season-high 32 points and grabbed 15 rebounds for the Knicks, who lost for the eighth time in 11 games. Reserve Al Harrington scored 22 points.

after missing the cut in his previous seven tournaments. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the high point right now, staying bogey-free,â&#x20AC;? the 32-year-old Herman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plenty of birdie opportunities but to not give any back so far is pretty fulfilling for me. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just wanted to do the same things I did yesterday, just drive the ball well, stay out of the fairway bunkers and give myself opportunities,â&#x20AC;? he said. Herman, who spent two years as an assistant pro at Trump National in northern New Jersey, had an early start Friday after his late one Thursday, which he preferred. And the wind picked up Friday afternoon, helping to protect his lead. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had a quick turnaround, which was nice,â&#x20AC;? Herman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Keep the momentum going was a good thing for me. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to sit around.â&#x20AC;? Defending champion Ewan Porter of Australia shot a 79 and missed the cut.

to spend extra time on every shot to wipe off the grips of their clubs and the brims of their hats. Late in the day, the maintenance crew had to roll water off the soaked tee boxes. That made the performance of Stricker and Johnson even more remarkable. Stephen Ames, bundled in rain gear, made light of the gloomy conditions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play golf for money. I play golf for fun,â&#x20AC;? Ames said, breaking into a smile. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And this is not fun.â&#x20AC;? Johnson, who opened with a 64 for a one-shot lead, caught the brunt of the weather. Temperatures dipped into the 50s, and with the steady rain and soaked conditions, some players couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t carry their tee shots much more than 225 yards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like it, but do I mind playing in it? No,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone has got to play in it.â&#x20AC;?

INDIANAPOLIS â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Danny Granger scored 25 points to help Indiana beat the Detroit Pistons 10783 on Friday night in one of the Pacersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; most lopsided wins in the series. Only a last-second layup by Detroit prevented the Pacers from tying the franchise record for its biggest win over the Pistons, a 26-point blowout in 1995.

Duke welcomes quick turnaround BY BRYAN STRICKLAND ENTERPRISE DURHAM BUREAU

Virginia Tech’s Jeff Allen (left) and his teammates celebrate as the last seconds tick off the clock in the Hokies’ 7470 victory over North Carolina late Thursday night in Blacksburg.

Hokies savor win over Tar Heels BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) – Five consecutive losses against North Carolina, including two in the final seconds, left Virginia Tech not caring which Tar Heels team they had beaten. “The name on the jersey is big,” Hokies forward Terrell Bell said Thursday night after grabbing 11 rebounds in the Hokies’ 74-70 victory against the reeling defending national champions. “Everybody knows Carolina, so to beat Carolina, it always feels good.” Malcolm Delaney scored 21 points, including two key free throws with 36.6 seconds left, and Virginia Tech extended North Carolina’s worst tailspin since a five-game skid in 2002-03. The Hokies (17-4, 4-3 Atlantic Coast Conference) came into the game seeing it as a must-win after feeling like they gave one away in a weekend loss at Miami, and made it happen even after the Tar Heels went on a big run to take a first-half lead and quiet the sellout crowd. “Today we stuck with it,” Delaney said. “They went on a run and we just rebounded right back from it. We didn’t let it affect us. That’s what’s good about this team.” Delaney’s free throws doubled Virginia Tech’s lead to 71-67, and the only basket the Tar Heels could

manage thereafter came at the buzzer, sealing their fifth loss in six games. North Carolina fell to 13-9 and 2-5 in the league, and even though guard Marcus Ginyard said the team gave a better effort as coach Roy Williams has asked, it still fell short. “It was definitely a lot better than it has been in the past,” said Ginyard, who did not start for only the second time in the 18 games he’s played. “Can it be better? Yeah.” Despite 19 turnovers, the Tar Heels appeared to have pulled within one when Will Graves’ 3-point try with just under 20 seconds left went halfway down and then rolled out. Jeff Allen rebounded for Virginia Tech, was fouled and made one free throw to push the margin to five. Larry Drew’s shot at the other end banked off the side of the backboard, the Hokies again rebounding and avenging a 78-64 loss to the Tar Heels in Chapel Hill on Jan. 10. The Hokies had also lost three straight regular-season meetings, and two in the ACC tournament, with two of the losses of the heartbreaker variety in the final seconds. Dorenzo Hudson added 17 points and Allen had 14 for Virginia Tech. The Tar Heels were led by Ed Da-

vis’ 15 points. John Henson had 14 and David Wear 12. Virginia Tech was outshot 43 percent to 39 percent, outrebounded 40-36 and its bench was outscored 33-10, but coach Seth Greenberg zeroed in on its 10 turnovers on the stat sheet. “That’s how we win,” he said. Neither team led by more than four in the second half until Delaney hit back-to-back 3-pointers, sparking a 13-5 run that gave Virginia Tech a 61-52 lead. Delaney also was called for his fourth personal foul after his second 3 and went to the bench with 12 minutes left. It hardly mattered as the Tar Heels never got closer than three again, and Delaney came back into the game with seven minutes left and made the two free throws to seal it. The Tar Heels scored the last six points of the first half to lead 35-33 at the break. One of the largest cheers of the night came during a timeout with 15:58 remaining in the game, when Hokies football coach Frank Beamer accepted the Chick-fil-A Bowl trophy from game president Gary Stokan at midcourt. The Hokies beat Tennessee 37-14 in the game on Dec. 31.

DURHAM – Duke junior Nolan Smith had every reason to feel worn down following the Blue Devils’ victory over Georgia Tech on Thursday night, but Smith sounded more upbeat than beat up. “After a win like that,” Smith said, “we’re ready to get back on the court now.” Smith and the Blue Devils are getting their wish.Less than 48 hours after winning a war against the Yellow Jackets, the 10th-ranked Blue Devils visit Boston College this afternoon (2 p.m., ESPN). The quick turnaround could be that much more a challenge given how the Blue Devils (18-4, 6-2 ACC) felt like they had to challenge themselves leading up to the Georgia Tech game. Taxing practices helped them successfully bounce back from last weekend’s loss at Georgetown, but now they’ll just have to hope they don’t pay the price against the Eagles (12-10, 3-5), who last played last Saturday. “We practiced real hard for three days. We’ll see what it does on Saturday, but you can’t worry about Saturday on Thursday,” Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “Just the way our schedule has been this whole five weeks has been amazing. I don’t know how in the hell they do it, but we’ll take a look at that at some other time. “But we’ll be ready to play up at Boston College. I think our kids will respond.” Circumstances off the court made Smith’s week all the more hectic. He attended his grandfather’s funeral in

Louisville, Ky., on Monday and then returned to campus after missing a day of practice. “It’s been very tough, very emotional,” Smith said. “Being back with my teammates has helped tremendously. They’ve put a smile back on my face.” Smith is the third Duke player to deal with a family tragedy this season. Freshman Andre Dawkins’ sister died in an automobile accident on Dec. 5, and senior Jordan Davidson missed the season opener in the wake of his grandmother’s death. “Nolan is one of the two or three guys on the team I’m closest to. We’ve talked about it a little bit,” Davidson said. “Everybody’s been really supportive, just like they were with me. I’m sure he’s found comfort from getting back with the guys because that was great for me. “You have a heavy heart for a few days; it’s tough to put it behind you. But I’ve found that those two-and-a-half, three hours a day that you’re with your team, those are the best hours of your day.” The Blue Devils had some of their most productive practices leading up to the Georgia Tech game, getting their defensive focus back while shifting their offensive focus to more of a motion offense approach. Duke handled Boston College’s perplexing flex offense in the team’s first meeting, a 79-59 victory on Jan. 13 in which Smith scored 24 points. This game, however, is at Conte Forum, site of the Eagles’ lone victory in eight meetings with Duke since joining the ACC.

Kentucky guards against letdown vs. LSU LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) – John Calipari pulled out a timely analogy for No. 4 Kentucky on Friday, which is heading to LSU for a game today that few people believe will be much of a challenge. “Understand,” Calipari told his players, “you’re everyone’s Super Bowl.”

That’s what comes with having “Kentucky” across your chest, holding a lofty ranking and lacing up with some of the most dynamic players in the college game. Every night out, Calipari understands the Wildcats are going to get an opponent’s best shot. After losing their first game of

the season to South Carolina and dropping the No. 1 ranking barely a week after it was bestowed on them, Kentucky (21-1, 6-1) has reshaped its priorities. Calipari said the focus against LSU (9-13, 0-8) is on the learning process – nothing more. LSU hasn’t won since early January.

Smith, Rice frontrunners for Hall of Fame FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; With Emmitt Smith and Jerry Rice all but shoo-ins for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, get ready for a little Canton Two-Step. Smith ran for more yards than any NFL player. Rice caught more passes and scored more touchdowns than anyone else. Sure seems fitting that they would enter the hall together, a slightly more significant honor than making the finals of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dancing With The Stars.â&#x20AC;? Or winning it, in Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case. Voting by a panel of media members takes place today at the Super Bowl. Inductions will be Aug. 7 in Canton. Smith and Rice, in their first year of eligibility, are among 17 finalists. The others are receivers Cris Carter, Tim Brown and Andre Reed; running back Roger Craig; center Dermontti Dawson; defensive ends Richard Dent and Charles Haley; defensive tackles Cortez Kennedy

and John Randle; tight end Shannon Sharpe; linebacker Rickey Jackson; guard Russ Grimm; and coach Don Coryell. Senior nominees are defensive back Dick LeBeau, now Pittsburghâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defensive coordinator, and running back Floyd Little. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not something I can say I ever really dreamed about,â&#x20AC;? Smith said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I never said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I have to make the Hall of Fame.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; If I could make steps that could set me apart in my career, then Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a successful career. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel I achieved every goal I had as a player, from Pop Warner to the NFL. My goals were winning championships and winning Super Bowls. When I thought I could reach Walter Paytonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all-time rushing record, it became a goal.â&#x20AC;? By attaining all of those objectives, Smith might have made his selection to the Hall a slam-dunk. Known for his determination as much as his skills, he rushed for 18,355 yards and 164 touchdowns,

adding 515 receptions for 3,224 yards and 11 TDs for the Dallas Cowboys and Arizona Cardinals. The NFL MVP in 1993, Smith also was the most valuable player in the Super Bowl that season. Like Smith, Rice won three Super Bowls and earned the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s MVP honors in 1989 with San Francisco. He also played for Oakland and Seattle in a 20-season career. The perfect receiver for the West Coast offense, Rice set dozens of records, some of which might never be broken. He made 1,549 catches for 22,895 yards, had 14 1,000-yard seasons and scored 208 touchdowns. Rice was the offensive player of the year in 1987 and 1993. Brown also is in his first year of eligibility. He played 16 seasons with the Raiders and one with the Buccaneers, finishing with 1,094 catches (fourth all-time) for 14,934 yards (fourth) and 100 touchdowns. Brown also was an outstanding kick returner.

Goodell hopes union is wrong about lockout chances FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; NFL commissioner Roger Goodell says he hopes the pessimism from the playersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; union regarding labor talks doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t become a self-fulfilling prophecy. Speaking on Friday at his annual Super Bowl-week news conference, Goodell said fans â&#x20AC;&#x153;expect solutions ... and we should deliverâ&#x20AC;? on a new collective bargaining agreement. NFL Players Association executive director DeMaurice Smith said Thursday the union views the chance of a lockout in 2011 as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;14â&#x20AC;? on a scale of 1 to 10 after the current labor agreement expires. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I sure hope heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wrong,â&#x20AC;? Goodell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right now, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need a lot of focus on that.â&#x20AC;? Goodell has also said he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t agree with the unionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s claim that owners are insisting on an 18 percent player pay cut. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The players should be paid fairly

and they should be paid well. And I assure you that they will,â&#x20AC;? Goodell said. The commissioner said there is no contingency plan for the 2012 Super Bowl, on the chance that no football is played in 2011. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We still have a lot of time and a lot of important opportunities here to structure something that makes sense for everybody,â&#x20AC;? Goodell said. On other issues, the commissioner said: â&#x20AC;˘Cleveland Browns wide receiver Donteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Stallworth will be reinstated after the Super Bowl from his suspension for killing a pedestrian while driving drunk. â&#x20AC;˘The culture in the league is changing regarding concussions, and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now more awareness that such injuries are serious. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more work to do to deal with concussions, Goodell said, but the league has made progress to ensure that players who suffer such

injuries receive immediate medical help. â&#x20AC;˘Attendance at Jacksonville Jaguarsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; home games remains a concern, and with crowds of around 40,000, â&#x20AC;&#x153;you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t continue to have an NFL franchise.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘Extending the season to 17 or 18 games will be part of the discussion when talks with the union resume. â&#x20AC;˘The prospect of a cold-weather Super Bowl at the new Giants Stadium in 2014 is â&#x20AC;&#x153;interesting.â&#x20AC;? There would be real benefits if the owners chose to award that game to the new stadium, Goodell said. â&#x20AC;˘The NFL is still eyeing a return to Mexico. Arizona and San Francisco held the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first regular-season game outside the United States in Mexico in 2005, and playing there remains on the radar because â&#x20AC;&#x153;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good for the NFL.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘He likes the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oft-criticized overtime rule as it is.

Wayne leaves practice early after hurting knee FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Reggie Wayne gave the Indianapolis Colts quite a scare Friday when he pulled up short on a pass route. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still expected to play in Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Super Bowl. The four-time Pro Bowl receiver left practice 20 minutes early after aggravating an injured right knee. Coach Jim Caldwell said Wayne hurt the soft tissue below his kneecap. Wayne is listed as probable and Caldwell plans on him playing against New Orleans. Wayne got through the injury most of the season. But the Colts still donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have an answer on AllPro defensive end Dwight Freeney. He hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t practiced since tearing a ligament in his right ankle during the AFC title game. Freeney wanted to test the ankle Friday and he still could. Caldwell said

Freeney might do some running or participate in a simulated practice later in the day. Freeney hopes to work out Saturday and is listed as questionable. Earlier Friday, Caldwell said Freeneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recovery was â&#x20AC;&#x153;trending in the right direction,â&#x20AC;? a message he reiterated after the workout at the Miami Dolphinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; team complex. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is right in line with our plans,â&#x20AC;? Caldwell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s making very good progress. The Colts got good news on two other starters.

Left guard Ryan Lilja returned to practice after missing Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s workout with a sore back. He is listed as probable. Starting cornerback Jerraud Powers practiced for the first time since hurting his left foot against Baltimore on Jan. 16. Before practice, Caldwell announced that Powers had undergone surgery to repair a fracture. He also is questionable for the Saints game. Indy has one more workout scheduled, a 40-minute walkthrough today.

Danica Patrick starts 12th in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lucas Oil Slick Mist 200 ARCA race at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Fla.

Patrick leans on Montoya for Daytona prep advice DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; For a few minutes, at least, it looked as if Danica Patrick would be leading the field to the green flag in her Daytona debut. Patrick briefly held pole position early in Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ARCA qualifying session, eventually slipping to 12th as other drivers posted faster speeds. The IndyCar star will make her widely anticipated stock car debut today â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and, as her crew chief noted, at least sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s starting close enough to the front to see the pace car. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just time to think about how the heck I am going to run this race,â&#x20AC;? Patrick said. For fans and fellow competitors, it will be the first real chance to see whether Patrick has the potential to replicate her IndyCar success behind the wheel of a stock car. Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stock car experience so far is limited to a test session in December and a handful of practice laps this week. That helps, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really no way to simulate the tension of racing at high speeds in a tight pack or the complexities of working in the draft â&#x20AC;&#x201C; tailgating the car in front of you to avoid wind resistance â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to zigzag through the field. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be easy, but I think it will be fun,â&#x20AC;? Patrick said. For now, Patrick is trying to absorb knowledge from anywhere she can. It made sense to talk to Juan Pablo Montoya, a former open-wheel racing star who made a successful transition to NASCAR. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Montoya) was just helping me out with the drafting of the car,â&#x20AC;? Patrick said. Patrick didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go to Montoya for advice â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Montoya went out of his way to find her Thursday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never spoken to Juan before,â&#x20AC;? Patrick said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a really nice guy. I really liked talking to him and he offered up his help throughout the rest of the year if I want it, whatever I want, so I have a lot to learn from Juan.â&#x20AC;? Montoya said during Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Daytona 500 media day that he expects Patrick to be successful in stock cars, but perhaps not right away.

Consumer credit down for 11th month WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Americans borrowed less for an 11th consecutive month in December, paying off credit cards while increasing borrowing for cars and other products. The mixed picture raises hopes that Americans may soon return to spending, a necessary condition for economic recovery. But the record 11-month decrease in overall borrowing shows consumers are still holding back amid lingering economic uncertainty and 9.7 percent unemployment.

500 new jobs at VW Chattanooga supplier CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Five hundred new jobs will be created at Volkswagenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supplier park that will be built alongside the German automakerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new assembly plant in Chattanooga. The chief executive of VWâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chattanooga operations, Frank Fischer, announced the 500 jobs at a Friday news conference where he said the $1 billion assembly plant and plans to start production of a new mid-sized sedan next year are â&#x20AC;&#x153;completely on track.â&#x20AC;? He said VW so far has hired about 350 of the projected 2,000 employees at the assembly plant.

GMAC eliminates 115 jobs in NC CHARLOTTE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; GMAC Financial Services is eliminating 115 jobs as it closes two offices in North Carolina. The Charlotte Observer reported Friday that the Detroit-based home and auto lender is closing offices in SouthPark in Charlotte and near Charlotte-Douglas International Airport. GMAC advised the state this week of the closings. State and local officials approved more than $4.5 million in incentives in March to persuade GMAC to expand in Charlotte. In return, the company said it planned to add 200 jobs over two years.

Dollar keeps surging as debt worries persist NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The dollar surged Friday to its highest level against the euro since last May as the U.S. lost more jobs in January and amid mounting worries that a debt crisis in Greece was spreading to other European countries. The euro fell below $1.37 for the first time since May 2009, sinking as low as $1.3586 in Friday trading in New York. It fetched $1.3634 in late New York trading, down from $1.3746 Thursday.

January unemployment rate drops to 9.7 percent WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The outlook for jobs became a bit less bleak with Januaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unexpected decline in the unemployment rate, which fell to 9.7 percent from 10 percent. Still, Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unemployment report showed just how deep the job crisis remains: 8.4 million jobs vanished in the Great Recession. Economists say the nation would be lucky to get back 1.5 million jobs this year. And they say it will take at least three to four years for the job market to return to anything like normal. The unemployment rate fell to its lowest level since August because a Labor Department survey of households found a sharp rise in the number of Americans with jobs. The survey found that 541,000 more Americans had jobs last month. But those gains resulted from seasonal adjustments to the data. Without those adjustments, the

data show fewer people had jobs last month. Such adjustments are made each month and are especially large in January because of heavy seasonal changes in hiring, according to Tom Nardone, an assistant commissioner at the departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bureau of Labor Statistics. A separate survey of businesses found that employers shed 20,000 jobs last month. That was worse than the 5,000 gain analysts expected. The reports helped send stocks lower. The Dow Jones industrial average fell more than 100 points, falling below 10,000. Januaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report did offer hope that employers may start adding jobs soon. Excluding the beleaguered construction industry, the private sector as a whole added 63,000 positions. John Silvia, chief economist at

Oil tumbles again, settles below $72 NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Oil prices ended the week at the lowest level in nearly two months, weighed down by a stronger dollar and persistent doubts about the health of the global economy. Benchmark crude for March delivery on Friday lost $1.95, nearly 3 percent, to settle at $71.19 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Oil plunged as low as $69.50 a barrel earlier in the day. Crude prices have now dropped more than 14 percent since cresting at

a 15-month high of $83.18 a barrel on Jan. 6. A two-day jump in prices earlier in the week evaporated as the dollar surged against the euro. Analysts said they also suspected investors who had snapped up oil contracts changed their minds and were trying to get rid of them fast, before the weekend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite obvious that someone blew upâ&#x20AC;? in their oil investments, analyst and trader Stephen Schork said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure who it is, but someone is bleeding right now.â&#x20AC;?

Wells Fargo, said the drop in the unemployment rate wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a result of a shrinking labor force, which has held the rate down in previous months. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It simply was, people found jobs,â&#x20AC;? he said. The report is â&#x20AC;&#x153;consistent with continued improvement in the labor market.â&#x20AC;? But Paul Ashworth, an economist at Capital Economics, noted that the economy has been growing for six months, yet company payrolls are still shrinking. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Based on what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen so far, we think it is fair to characterize this as another jobless recovery,â&#x20AC;? Ashworth said. Left behind are people like Aimee Brittain, 31, who said she canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get employers to return her calls. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hunting for work as a secretary after being laid off from a commercial real estate firm near her home in Atlanta.

LANHAM, Md. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Seeking to create more jobs, President Barack Obama on Friday asked Congress to temporarily expand two lending programs for the owners of small businesses. Obama said he wants to bolster the impact of the businesses that are the chief creators of new jobs in a struggling economy. Just hours before he spoke, the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jobless rate finally dipped below 10 percent â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to a still-stubbornly high 9.7 percent â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in the latest government figures. With the presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s poll numbers falling and punishing levels of unemployment lingering, Obama has stepped up his focus on the economy and job creation. Obama said he wants businesses to be able to refinance their commercial real estate loans under the Small Business Administration and he wants that government agency to increase loans used for lines of credit and capital. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The truth is, the economy can be growing like gangbusters for years on end and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still not easy to run a small business,â&#x20AC;? Obama said as he visited a heating and air conditioning company in a Maryland suburb of the capital. He reminded reporters that every once in a while, a small business becomes a large corporation that employs thousands. The White House said Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan would temporarily increase the cap on Small Business Administration Express loans from the current maximum of $350,000 to $1 million.

Toyota chief apologizes for recalls TOKYO (AP) – Toyota’s president apologized Friday for the massive global recalls over sticking gas pedals as the automaker scrambles to repair a damaged reputation and sliding sales. But Akio Toyoda, appointed to the top job at Toyota Motor Corp. last June, said the company is still deciding what steps to take to fix brake problems in the popular Prius gaselectric hybrid. Speaking at a hastily an-

nounced news conference that lasted an hour, a sternlooking Toyoda promised to beef quality control. “We are facing a crisis,” he said, publicly confronting the automaker’s safety problems for the first time since the global recalls were announced Jan. 21. He said the company is setting a special committee he would head himself. It would review internal checks, go over consumer complaints and listen to

outside experts to come with a solution to the widening quality problems. “I offer my apologies for the worries,” he said. “Many customers are wondering whether their cars are OK.” Toyoda, grandson of the automaker’s founder, said the company was moving quickly on the global recalls covering 4.5 million vehicles for sticking gas pedals, about half of them in the U.S. Dealers are scrambling

to make repairs on the gas pedals, which need a new steel part to solve the sticking problem. Toyota would fully cooperate with the investigation by U.S. federal authorities into Prius problems, Toyoda said. There have been nearly 200 complaints in Japan and the U.S. of drivers experiencing a short delay before the brakes kick in – a problem that can be fixed with a software programming change.

Super Bowl ads go goofy and frugal NEW YORK (AP) – Game on! Ser Bowl ads are returning to their goofy roots. Men march across a hillside without pants, toys joyride in Vegas and the miserly Mr. Burns from “The Simpsons” loses his fortune but finds happiness. It’s a sign that people are feeling better – or at least want to feel better – about the economy, experts say. The commercials Sunday on advertising’s most expensive showcase also aim to appeal to people’s focus on value. The ad line includes everything from economy priced televisions by Vizio to budget cars from Kia. Denny’s touts free Grand Slams again, Charles Barkley raps about $5 meal deals at Taco Bell, and the 1985 Chicago Bears’ resurrect their “Ser Bowl Shuffle” for prepaid cell phone brand Boost Mobile. Ser Bowl ads are a much anticipated, and usually funny, sideshow. The broadcast is watched as much

But overall, the laughs are back. “Six months ago if you were optimistic or happy, it was awkward and people looked and said, ’How insensitive can you be?’ “ said Allen Adamson, managing director of branding firm Landor Associates in New York. “Now it’s socially acceptable not to be sullen and depressed, but within reason. And I think the Ser Bowl provides one of those venues where you can still ed the nation’s mood, still in shock kick back and have a good time.” Advertisers recognize that and and worry over how deep the finanstill are willing to pay top dollar for cial crisis would get.

Banking regulation JPMorgan CEO gets $16 million bonus bill hits impasse WASHINGTON (AP) – Efforts to reach bipartisan agreement on regulations to prevent another financial melthave reached an impasse in the Senate Banking Committee and Chairman Christopher Dodd said Friday he will move forward with his version of the bill. Dodd, DConn., has been unable to find common ground over consumer protections with Sen. Richard Shelby of Alabama, the top Republican on the committee. Nonetheless, Dodd said he will incorporate provisions into the regulatory bill that were worked out by other bipartisan teams on the panel. The break- in negotiations is a setback for the

bill. A priority of the Obama administration, it is intended to address weaknesses in the financial system that led to the crisis that gripped Wall Street in the fall of 2008. The legislation aims to increase consumer protections on loans and credit cards, add restrictions to previously unregulated financial products and find ways to dismantle failing firms without resorting to taxpayer bailouts. The House has already passed its version. “While I still hope that we will ultimately have a consensus package, it is time to move the process forward,” Dodd said. He is expected to introduce his bill the week of Feb. 22.

NEW YORK (AP) – JPMorgan Chase & Co. CEO Jamie Dimon received a stock bonus valued at nearly $16 million for 2009 after steering the big bank through the aftermath of the financial crisis, the company said Friday. Dimon’s bonus carries several restrictions and can be recoed by the bank at any time and for any reason. The stringent measures are aimed at countering criticism over lavish pay at banks that helped cause the financial crisis and then received billions in taxpayer bailouts. Like other big bank CEOs, Dimon received no cash bonus for 2009. Instead, he got $7.8 million in restricted stock and 563,562 in restricted stock options, JPMorgan said. The options are valued at about $8.1 million,

bringing his total 2009 bonus to $15.9 million. Dimon’s bonus disclosure shifted attention toward Goldman Sach Gro Inc. CEO Lloyd Blankfein, whose 2009 bonus has yet to be disclosed. JPMorgan and Goldman have emerged from the financial crisis as two of the nation’s strongest banks, earning billions in profits while rivals including Citigro Inc. and Bank of America Corp. have suffered losses. Still, neither JPMorgan nor Goldman have escaped scrutiny over employee pay packages. Both banks are paying bonuses to top executives in restricted stock instead of cash and are adopting “clawback” provisions in an effort to align pay with longterm performance.

Cadillac’s small SUV is downsized ANN M. JOB THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NUTS & BOLTS

–

Cadillac’s smaller sport utility vehicle, the SRX, is finally downsized enough to warrant the “smaller” label, and for 2010 seats just five people. The SRX’s V-8 and rear-wheel drive platform also are gone. The updates make the 2010 SRX better able to compete with the top-seller in the luxury, mid-size, crossover SUV segment – the Lexus RX 350. In fact, Cadillac set the starting price tag for the new SRX some $7,000 less than last year’s larger, sevenpassenger model and in the process undercut the Lexus substantially. Starting manufacturer’s suggested retail price, including destination charge, is $34,155 for a base, five-passenger, front-wheel drive SRX with 265-horsepower, direct injection V-6 and automatic transmission. The starting retail price for a 2010 RX 350 with seats for five, front-wheel drive, a 275-horsepower V6 and automatic transmission is $38,500. Base SRX and RX 350 models don’t have leathertrimmed seats but come standard with floor mats, two-zone climate control and power windows and door locks, among the

The 2010 Cadillac SRX has a starting manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $34,155. amenities. Still, the base RX 350 has more standard features than the base SRX, including power-adjustable front passenger seat. And some items that are offered as options for the base RX 350, such as rearview monitor, are listed as “not available” on the base SRX. So, buyers must move up to pricier trim levels of SRX to get rear sensors or rearview camera.

The big base price difference also doesn’t necessarily apply to buyers looking for all-wheel drive. An all-wheel drive 2010 SRX has a starting MSRP, including destination charge, of $40,230, while a 2010 RX 350 with all-wheel drive starts at $39,900. Cadillac has a ways to go to catch the RX 350, which posted U.S. sales of 93,379 in calendar 2009

compared with SRX sales of 20,237. But the newly sized SRX offers something the Lexus RX arguably doesn’t have – edgy styling. Like Cadillacs in recent years, the SRX has sharply creased sheet metal outside with a bit of a pointy nose and vertical, fin-like taillights. It’s a look that’s all Cadillac and will not be confused with any other luxury brand.

Inside, the new SRX gets a dashboard layout and controls akin to those in the Cadillac CTS sedan. The plastic is nicely textured and doesn’t look or feel cheap, and knobs and buttons are easy to understand.
