when expected frozen precipitation didn’t materialize here. If forecasters are correct on the current storm, it would mark the fourth time since mid-December that the High Point area received measurable snowfall. If an inch of snow falls, road conditions won’t be as treacherous as during previous storms this winter, said State Highway Patrol Sgt. J.R. Deardorff. But motorists should remain aware. “Luckily it’s on a Saturday, which is more lightly traveled than weekdays. But the roads will be slick, and if people don’t need to be on them, it would be a good time to stay home,” Deardorff said. High Point Public Services Department crews were brining roads Friday, said Assistant Director Richard McMillan. N.C. Department of Transportation crews were treating primary highways, the state agency reports. Area residents may have to brace for yet another winter storm Monday. “Right now it’s kind of ‘iffy.’ There may be a shot of some rain mixed with snow. But it’s too early to say how much, if any, appreciable snow will occur,” Sharp said Friday morning. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

Avenue of flags proposed for heroes BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – A project is being unveiled that will give the public a chance to recognize and honor local heroes with patriotic displays along High Point’s main thoroughfare. The proposed Avenue of Flags will involve a display of about 77 American flags along Main Street between Russell and Montlieu avenues durAlexander ing holidays such as Memorial Day, Flag Day (June 14), the Fourth of July and Veterans Day. The project is the brainchild of City Councilman Latimer Alexander, who said he decided to propose the idea for High Point after seeing similar displays in other cities. “It’s really to honor High Point heroes. It doesn’t necessarily have to be military,” Alexander said. “There have been a lot of people to serve High Point. It could be anything from a Scout Troop wanting to honor a Scoutmaster to a civic club wanting to honor one of its members or something like that – not exclusively to the military, but certainly there will be a lot of military options.” The flags are available

HIGH POINT – Income and earnings declined noticeably during the last fiscal year for the International Home Furnishings Center, and one building co-owner offers a cautious outlook for the High Point Market’s largest showroom complex. Virginia-based Bassett Furniture Industries Inc. specifies the financial condition of the IHFC in an annual company report released Friday. Bassett, which owns 47 percent of the building, had to release information on the

IHFC under Securities and Exchange Commission financial reporting rules. The IHFC’s annual net income declined 27 percent from $13.7 million during the 2008 fiscal year to $10 million during 2009. Annual revenues for the IHFC dropped 11 percent from $45.7 million during 2008 to $40.6 million during the last fiscal year, according to the Bassett report. Bassett’s 2009 fiscal year concluded Nov. 28. Bassett’s income from unconsolidated affiliated companies through the IHFC also declined. The company received $4.7 million through the IHFC

during its 2009 fiscal year, down 27 percent from its $6.4 million during 2008. A spokesman for the IHFC couldn’t be reached for comment Friday by The High Point Enterprise. Bassett officials offer a cautionary outlook for the IHFC in its annual report, warning that some showroom tenants might not renew leases as they expire. “In addition, changes in the overall home furnishings industry as well as the competing home furnishings market in Las Vegas could potentially impact the number of manufacturers showcasing their

Second Republican files to replace Arnold BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – A second Republican from High Point has filed to replace outgoing Republican Commissioner Steve Arnold, who announced earlier this week that he won’t seek reelection. Small business owner Myrene Stanley filed Friday in the Guilford County Board of Commissioners District 2 race. High Point City Councilman Bill Bencini filed Thursday, which ensures a May 4 GOP primary in the Republicanleaning district.

Stanley couldn’t be reached for comment late Friday afternoon by The High Point Enterprise. In other filings, U.S. Rep. Mel Watt, who has represented parts of High Point since after his first election in 1992, filed Friday for his 10th term. Watt, D-12th, is the only congressman to serve in the district that stretches from Charlotte to parts of the Triad. The district was created for the 1992 election to ensure that minority candidates had an opportunity, as part of redressing the legacy of segregation, to compete for seats in the U.S.

Jarrell also coordinated the implementation in Guilford County of Streetsafe, a teenage driving program designed to improve the skills of high-risk teen drivers. The filing by candidates continues through noon Feb. 26. The general election is Nov. 2.

In another filing, High Point native Tom Jarrell Jr. filed earlier this week for re-election as a Guilford County District Court

to members of the public for a $150 donation. Organizers described the gesture as a way for donors to honor or remember someone of their choice. The donation will provide a flag and a mount. The city will put the flags up, take them down and maintain them. “The Avenue of Flags is an invitation for the community to join in recognizing and honoring those who serve and protect us,” said City Manager Strib Boynton. “It will serve to visually remind all of us, including visitors, that the High Point

community always honors those who serve and protect us.” Alexander enlisted the help of Kreber, a photography and creative advertising company in High Point that designed and printed brochures about the project for free. “High Point and the whole Triad area have a rich tradition of honoring military heroes, and we’re certainly happy to be a part of this effort,” said owner Jack Kreber. The High Point Community Foundation also is assisting with the project.

plans to speak to several civic clubs in the coming weeks about it. He said he hopes a future phase of the project will involve some sort of display to list the names of those honored on the Avenue of Flags. “They will be remembered in a public space, maybe at City Hall or something out in the community somewhere,” he said. “We’re kind of waiting to see how much interest there is and how much of a support base there is.”

DAVIDSON COUNTY – The N.C. State Bureau of Investigation has charged a Ledford High School teacher with felony sex offense with a student and felony taking indecent liberties with a student. Scott Edwin Ring, 41, of 936 S. Ridge Court No. 147, Winston-Salem, was arrested by the State Bureau of Investigation Friday on the charges, according to court documents filed with the Davidson County Clerk of Court’s Office. According to court documents, the alleged incidents took place between Aug. 1 and Sept. 30, 2008.

RALEIGH (AP) – North Carolina’s top state law enforcement agency had a policy of excluding complete blood test results from lab reports presented at criminal trials, an agent testified Friday during a hearing into the potential, groundbreaking exoneration of a convicted murderer. State Bureau of Investigation Agent Duane Deaver told a three-judge panel that when a first test was positive for blood but a follow-up test was negative, the agency’s policy was to state only that there was a chemical indication for the presence of blood. “We were given the wording to use,” Deaver said. The decision was made by people “a lot higher than my pay

Taylor, who has always said he was innocent, is hoping to become the first convict freed as a result of the work of the North Carolina Innocence Inquiry Commission. Deaver’s notes indicate that samples from Taylor’s sport utility vehicle tested positive for blood in preliminary tests. But those samples tested negative in follow-up tests called takayama, his bench notes show. His formal lab report, however, only said that the samples indicated the presence of blood.

RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; North Carolina taxpayers will have to wait longer again this year for income tax refunds.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all part of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s effort to manage cash while its tax collections remain anemic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very much like the way a family manages their checkbook at the end of the month,â&#x20AC;? Lay said in an interview. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re writing those checks to pay your bills, you want to make sure that you have enough in the account to pay each one of them.â&#x20AC;? The Revenue Department held back on refunds last year, too. However, that

didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t become public until early March, after many taxpayers started complaining about delays. Lay acknowledged his agency wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as prepared then to

respond and is trying to be more proactive in 2010. This time of year, it usually takes two to six weeks to process a return with no errors or problems.

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

Please make ours a ‘no-kill’ animal shelter I would like to say thanks to Joan Garner for her guest column about the Guilford County Animal Shelter (Feb. 7, “Expand Guilford animal shelter”). My question is why are animals so easy to just throw away and kill because there are lousy pet owners that don’t have their animals neutered or spayed? I want to know why our shelter in Guilford County can’t have the money they need – everybody else gets theirs. Where is it going, and why can’t this shelter be a no-kill shelter? It is stupid and ignorant on the part of the inhumane people that give money for crap that is not important. I have seen the crowding, and it is heartbreaking. I always cry when I leave that place. It is so pitiful. I ask county leaders to please let this shelter have money needed to expand and become a no-kill shelter. It is a death sentence for these sweet animals. They need a chance, too. Would you like to be put there and not given a chance? PHYLLIS GORDON High Point

Now, the details are murky and the leading proponent for acting to curb climate change – the United Nations – has a tarnished reputation and diminished public confidence. Errors and rigged experiments demote proof to speculation. We must determine the facts on climate change or the efforts of good people, a plethora of regulations and massive spending forced by those regulations may be for nothing. We need the truth.

The four morons whose Saturday night deerhunting escapade resulted in the death of a Cherryville resident wrote their own chapter on breaking the law. They were shooting at deer out of season. They were hunting at night. They were in a public right of way. They were shooting from a car. The driver was drinking, shooting and driving. All of the above are against the law in North Carolina. Depending on the neighborhood, firing a weapon and creating a disturbance might be other infractions. When homeowner Ricky Woodall Jr. came out of his house to see what was going on, the foursome apparently took off. The driver, William Adam Payseur, lost control of the car and hit Woodall, who was in his front yard. Woodall died Monday. Payseur has been charged with felony hit and run and driving while impaired. Prosecutors should consider negligent homicide and charge Payseur’s buddies as accessories. Their reckless actions show flagrant disregard for the law and the public safety. A man is dead because of their drunken lark. These guys should pay, and pay dearly. This irresponsible conduct cannot be tolerated.

Jorge Puello, who has been a high-profile advocate for the American Baptists as they navigate the Haitian justice system, is in apparent violation of Dominican law for failing to register with the local bar association or obtain a license, said Jose Parra, vice president of the Dominican Lawyers Association.

But government authorities and rebel leaders both insisted the truce deal still holds. After six years of war, Yemen has come under international pressure to quickly draw a close to the conflict to free up resources to confront a separate threat from an al-Qaida offshoot.

Many Presbyterians see salvation by other faiths LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Presbyterian Church USAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s statement of faith says God through Jesus Christ delivers followers â&#x20AC;&#x153;from death to life eternal.â&#x20AC;? But one in three members of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest Presbyterian denomination seem to believe thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s some wiggle room for nonChristians to get into heaven, according to a recent poll. The Presbyterian Panelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Religious and Demographic Profile of Presbyteriansâ&#x20AC;? found that 36 percent of members disagreed or strongly disagreed with the statement: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Only followers of Jesus Christ can be saved.â&#x20AC;? Another 39 percent, or about two-fifths, agreed or strongly agreed with the statement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There seems to be some universalist streak in Presbyterianism, where some Presbyterians are open to the idea of other paths that folks in other faiths might be taking,â&#x20AC;? said Perry Chang, administrator of the Presbyterian Panel, which convenes every three years.

The Presbyterian Church USA, with about 2.1 million members, is the largest Presbyterian denomination in the country. A total of 3,450 Presbyterians responded to the study, which was mailed in October 2008. The panel issued the religious and demographic report last month. Polls asking similar questions about views on salvation have provided a wide range of results. A 2005 national survey funded by Baylor University found that 53 percent of the 1,721 adults who were polled agreed with the statement, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many religions lead to salvation,â&#x20AC;? and another 19 percent said â&#x20AC;&#x153;My religion is the one true faith that leads to salvation.â&#x20AC;? A 2007 poll by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life found that 70 percent of Americans with a religious affiliation believe many religions can lead to eternal life. Another study found that evangelical Christians may adhere to a much stricter interpretation of salvation. The 2008 report

American land and denominations A

common complaint among both Christians and non-Christians is this: Why so many denominations? Many Christians ask: if we are one in Christ, why so many groups? Part of the answer lies in the intersection of the Protestant Reformation of the 1500s, the limited amount of land in Europe, and the vast amount of land in America. Consider the parts of the Reformation: Luther, Zwingli/Anabaptist, Calvin, English, and the Counter/Catholic. Now look at where they occurred: Luther, Germany; Zwingli, Switzerland; Calvin, Switzerland and then Scotland through John Knox; English, England; and Counter/Catholic, France, Spain, and Italy. (Anabaptists were always small in number.) Each controlled the area in which it started. Now think “kings and queens.” The King of France was Catholic, and so his region was Catholic. Same in England with Anglicanism, etc. So Catholics

living in England become Anglican or stayed quiet, and on and on. Therefore, new movements after the Reformation began were discouraged and even dangerous to begin. Each branch of STUDYING Christianity controlled THE CHURCH its own region, so new movements were difficult to create. Mark Switch to the AmeriNickens can colonies. The new ■■■ colonists in America mimicked the situation they knew in Europe. If you were Puritan, you lived in Massachusetts; Catholic, Maryland; Anglican, Virginia. And on and on. It worked in Europe, why not in America? Yet this situation failed. Why? Because of all the land. Europe was small and controlled, but America was large and uncontrollable. Consider the Puritans as an example.

The Puritans, in the 1600s, controlled Massachusetts. Yet, Roger Williams and Anne Hutchinson, while in Massachusetts, both taught ideas contrary to Puritan theology. After getting in trouble, they both did what Europeans could not do: they simply moved 100 miles away and continued practicing their beliefs in total freedom. Williams moved to Rhode Island and Hutchinson to Rhode Island and then New York. They both moved to areas where few lived and therefore worshipped and believed as they felt led. The Puritans were oppressed in England and so many came to America. And this is the key: The Anglicans were effective in silencing the Puritans. They left Europe. Yet, because of the vastness of American land, the Puritans could not get rid of opposing voices in America. In the 1600s, the Puritans only had enough strength to control what occurred in Massachusetts; so

Williams and Hutchinson simply moved beyond the control of the Puritans. The Puritans illustrate how the European containment of new Christian movements was effective because of limited space, yet there was so much space in America no one group could control it all. Therefore new groups sprung up like rabbits. If you disagreed strongly enough with your own Christian group, you started your own and moved away. And no one could do anything about it, unlike in Europe. And this is one reason why there are so many denominations/groups in America today. The vast space in America led directly to numerous groups being developed. And once the new nation of USA was formed, the idea of freedom of religion continued to impact the development of even more new Christian groups.

St. Valentine’s Day and the days that follow O

n Feb. 14, some years ago, wearing a white coat and black trousers and shoes, I knelt before the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. She was wearing an elegant and captivating evening gown. It was designed and tailored especially for her. This lovely lady heard my question, “Will you marry me?” and before my heart skipped too many beats, she answered with an affirming “Yes.” Kitty and I were married the next June 4, to culminate a two-year courtship. We value our marriage more each day. It is enjoyable and exciting. This special day, became associated with two Roman martyrs who were both named Saint Valentine. They lived during the third century. Saint

Valentine has been called the patron saint of lovers. Noah Webster wrote about this special day: “The fourteenth SHARING of February is a day sacred to St. THE SPIRIT Valentine! It was a very odd notion, Bill alluded to by Ellis Shakespeare, that ■■■ on this day birds begin to couple; hence, perhaps, arose the custom of sending on this day letters containing professions of love and affection.” In my first school days, my mother would buy a large inexpensive bag of assorted valentines. She would pick out the ones I should send to all the little girls in my class. I

did not want to send one to any girl. Thoughts changed with passing years. By the sixth grade, I could pick out the best for the one special girl in my school. No help needed. I always made sure the nicest one went to my teacher. I needed all the academic help I could muster. I may have sent one called: “Valentine To A School Teacher,” which contained this verse: “The bees do the work, and the bees get the honey; But we do the work, And you get the money!” If I sent it, that may explain why I did not receive any academic assistance. What can we do to keep love alive in our marriage relationship? Here are a few suggestions. Never forget the things that thrilled you in the beginning. No two people, a man and

It is a sad fact of life that there are widows, orphans and aliens living in our midst. What nation does not have them? Natural and man-made disasters such as war, famine and economic upheaval contribute to their seemingly endless numbers. So what should our attitude be to these unfortunate and vulnerable ones among us? Should we simply wish them luck, give them a blessing and send them on their way, or is something more required? God's word is clear on this: we are called to help the widows, orphans and aliens among us in so many passages of the Bible that it is virtually a theme of both the Old and New Testament. The Israelites were painfully aware of the trials and tribulations of being foreigners in a strange land, given their captivities in Egypt and Babylon. Furthermore, their experience in warring with their neighbors, then as now, has a tendency to create even more widows, orphans and refugees. The commandment to help the unfortunate among us comes with a blessing and a curse. That is, we are told that we will be blessed if we help them and cursed if we don't. We should help the vulnerable, whether these are widows and orphans, or the homeless or jobless in our community. And do no wrong or violence to the alien, the fatherless, and the widow, nor shed innocent blood in this place…. But if you will not heed these words, I swear by myself, says the Lord, that this house shall become a desolation. R.S.V. Jeremiah 22.3-5 511177

Poll finds strong anti-Washington feeling WASHINGTON (AP) – Extremely high anti-incumbent feelings toward Congress are shaping potentially brutal midterm elections that typically see losses for the party that controls the White House, a poll found. Those anti-incumbent feelings match the high levels of 2006 and 1994 – both years when control of Congress changed hands.

Mom of slain 7-year-old tries not to get hopes up ORANGE PARK, Fla. (AP) – In the days after a 7-year-old vanished on her way home from school, authorities launched a massive manhunt, interviewing all the registered sex offenders in a 5-mile radius. They found Somer Thompson’s body buried among 225 tons of garbage in a Georgia landfill, but no sign of her killer. This week, nearly four months after she died, Clay County Sheriff Rick Beseler announced a person of interest in the case, an unemployed 24-year-old restaurant worker who lived on and off in Somer’s neighborhood. Friends and authorities say he kept files of child pornography on his computer. Authorities have not charged Jarred Mitchell Harrell in Somer’s death. Somer’s mother, Diena Thompson, was trying not to get her hopes up, her attorney said Friday.

We need answers before we know if the White House is more interested in partisan theater than in facilitating a productive dialogue about solutions,” said Kevin Smith, a spokesman for Boehner. The summit is considered a last, best attempt to revive Obama’s yearlong quest, now stalled after

Democrats lost their filibusterproof Senate majority. Yet since Obama proposed the summit last weekend, Republicans and Democrats have voiced skepticism, with some in the GOP wondering if would be nothing but a spectacle that could benefit the president at their expense.

Guilford County Schools prepares for math changes BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

REGISTRATION

—

GUILFORD COUNTY – Middle and high school students and their parents will notice a change in the math curriculum as they pick their courses for next year. Starting next year, students will take Algebra I, Geometry and Algebra II in a different order. While Geometry had followed Algebra I, it will be switched with Algebra II to become the third course in the sequence. The district will make the changes to follow state guidelines. “This change will help reinforce the algebra skills students need to develop before moving

on to geometry,” said Jocelyn Becoats, K-8 curriculum officer. All three courses also will be updated to include material from probability and statistics

and discrete math. Some students start the math sequence as early as seventh grade. Others start the sequence in the eighth or ninth grade. Teachers will receive support to help make the change, which also could help students in their preparations for the SAT and give a better background for math-intensive courses, such as chemistry, curriculum experts told the Guilford County Board of Education during a January retreat. Algebra II is required for chemistry students. The state’s test for the new standards will not take effect until the 2011-12 school year. The exam will be given at the com-

pletion of the Algebra II and Geometry sequence. Board Chairman Alan Duncan worried last month that some students may have a gap between courses during the transition. “Won’t they forget by the time they have to take the tests?” Duncan said. Under the new sequence, all students would take Algebra by eighth grade and finish the sequence with Geometry by 11th grade, but honors students could finish the sequence by ninth grade on their way to taking calculus and statistics in 11th and 12th grades. dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

JAMESTOWN – An online health care and office administration medical transcription program at Guilford Technical Community College has been approved by a joint committee of two national organizations. The GTCC program, which consists of 16 classes, is the first medical transcription program among the state’s community colleges to gain the designation, said Deborah Fondow, chair for GTCC’s health care and office administration department. Medical transcription was approved for the GTCC curriculum several years ago by the N.C. Community College System, but became a completely online program in the fall of 2009. The program consists of 48 credit hours, and the completion of a 160-hour required internship during the summer semester. It is a oneyear diploma course that can be completed in three semesters. The curriculum prepares students to become medical language specialists who interpret and transcribe dictation by health care professionals. Graduates can qualify for employment in hospitals, medical clinics, doctors’ offices and transcription service companies. The approval committee for Association for Healthcare Documentation Integrity and the American Health Information Management Association in Modesto, Calif., determined that graduates of the GTCC “comprehensive medical transcription program possess the necessary job skills to attain success in entrylevel transcription positions.”

Max Walser won’t seek re-election BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

DAVIDSON COUNTY – Davidson County Commissioner Max Walser, the lone democrat on the Davidson County Board of Commissioners, announced this week that he will not seek re-election this year. Walser, who is finishing out his second four-year term as a commissioner, made the announcement Thursday during the Davidson County Board of Commissioners annual retreat at the former David-

son Academy building in Lexington. Walser, who was named the board’s chairman Walser by his fellow commissioners earlier this year, said one of the reasons he is not seeking re-election is because he believes politicians should have term limits. “Eight years in my opinion is enough,” he said. “It was enough for me ...

Walser said he also was proud of his work with the High Rock Lake and Alcoa issue, as well as working to preserve the Wil-Cox Bridge. Walser, 69, did not rule out the possibility of ever running for political office again. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

Dear At A Crossroads: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad you asked. Neither you nor Hillary seem ready ADVICE for the kind of Dear commitAbby ment sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; angling for right now. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clear to me is that she wants to get out of her parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; house, while you appear to want some independence before making a lifetime commitment. Your suggestion about getting separate apartments is a good one. I would love to know why neither set of parents is â&#x20AC;&#x153;rootingâ&#x20AC;? for this match. But let it serve to make you think long and hard before doing anything youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not 100 percent ready for.

Dear Abby: My wife and I are having a disagreement. I went into a womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clothing store to buy her a formal dress for Christmas. She has recently gotten into superb shape, and I wanted to celebrate it by buying her something formal but sexy. I found an item I liked

but was unsure how or whether it would fit her. The store manager who was helping me asked one of the salesclerks to try it on for me. She did, and I bought the dress. My wife feels this was highly inappropriate of everyone involved â&#x20AC;&#x201C; tantamount to a â&#x20AC;&#x153;come on.â&#x20AC;? Can you give me your views? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Well-intentioned in Phoenix Dear Well-intentioned: The store managerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offer to have an employee put on the dress to show you was something thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done all the time. Your wife may be in â&#x20AC;&#x153;superb shapeâ&#x20AC;? physically, but emotionally she appears to be insecure. Now that you know this about her, the next time you want to buy her an item of clothing, take her with you. It wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fix what ails her, but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll avoid another disagreement.

Dear Abby: Someone said something to me today that really offended me. I let her know she had hurt my feelings and

her response was, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sorry you took what I said the wrong way.â&#x20AC;? (Abby, there was no other way to interpret it!) Essentially, she made it MY fault because I was â&#x20AC;&#x153;too sensitive.â&#x20AC;? If I said something that hurt someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s feelings, I would simply say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I apologize. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean to hurt you.â&#x20AC;? When you try to justify your actions and blame the other person for taking offense there really is no apology forthcoming â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which only makes the situation worse. Was there a witty comeback to let this person know her lack of an apology did not go unnoticed? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Offended in Albuquerque Dear Offended: I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t call it â&#x20AC;&#x153;witty,â&#x20AC;? but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accurate: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right â&#x20AC;&#x201C; blame the victim!â&#x20AC;?

ear Abby: I have been seeing â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hillaryâ&#x20AC;? for a little more than a year. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re both in our late 20s and just starting our careers. We both live with our parents. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been having problems because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not willing to move in with her. I have told Hillary many times that there is no audition for marriage, but sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s convinced it would â&#x20AC;&#x153;bring us closer.â&#x20AC;? Many of the people Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve worked with ended up splitting shortly after moving in together. Conversely, many of Hillaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s friends moved in with significant others and were married shortly after. I admit, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to take things slow (call me oldfashioned), but Hillary doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if she can wait until I feel ready to take this step or propose. We acknowledge that we love each other. Our parents are not exactly rooting for us, so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re taking another break from things. I suggested that we both find our own places for the time being. Hillary has never lived by herself. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what to do, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like some advice from someone who doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a stake in this. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; At A Crossroads In Illinois

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Lenders have assumed ownership of a stalled luxury resort in Anguilla that has the tiny tourism-dependent islandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only golf course and was codeveloped by a U.S. media mogul, officials said this week.. Victor Banks, Anguillaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s minister of finance and tourism, said a receiver was appointed to take over management of the Temenos resort, where construction halted in June 2008 when developer Flag Luxury Properties LLC ran out of financing for the 286-acre beachfront parcel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very important property,â&#x20AC;?

Today’s declarer was like many of us. We’re willing to be delivered from temptation but would like it to keep in touch. When West led the king of clubs against four hearts, South resisted temptation and played low (a “Bath Coup”), keeping his A-J tenace. South hoped West would continue clubs, but after East signaled with the deuce, West shifted to a diamond. Temptation was still around – and this time South succumbed. He finessed with dummy’s queen, and East won and returned a club. South took his ace and drew trumps, but when he forced out the ace of spades, East led his last club to West’s queen. Down one.

OVERTRICK South was tempted by the lure of an overtrick. If the diamond finesse had won, he’d have had 11 tricks. To assure the contract, South should take the ace of diamonds, draw trumps and lead the queen of spades. If East wins the second spade and returns a club, South wins and reaches dummy with a trump to

Lego models of SF landmarks stolen FREMONT, Calif. (AP) – Three San Francisco landmarks have been stolen. The loss is estimated at $6,000. Actually, they’re miniatures of the Palace of Fine Arts Theatre, Ghirardelli Square and the Conservatory

of Flowers made from hundreds of thousands of plastic Lego pieces that took years to put together. Jannet Benz, whose 49year-old husband Mark made the models, said they were taken Feb. 3 from the family pickup

truck parked outside their California home. Her husband left them there overnight after returning from a Palo Alto museum where they had been on exhibition. She called the theft “absolutely heartbreaking.”

Hypothermia often kills

ear Dr. Donohue: I once worked as an orderly in a hospital’s emergency room. During the winter I saw two people brought in with hypothermia, and one died. I run outdoors, and this winter has been very cold. I wonder if I could be putting myself in danger of hypothermia. Will you write something about this? Thanks. – R.M.

BLONDIE

An accepted criterion for hypothermia is a core body temperature of 95 F (35 C) or lower. Core temperature is the temperature of internal organs – heart, liver, lung, brain. Some define it as the temperature of the blood as it leaves the heart. Special rectal probes are one way of obtaining core temperatures. A core temperature from 90 to 95 F (32 to 35 C) is mild hypothermia. People with mild hypothermia shiver vigorously. Muscle contractions cause shivering, and muscle contractions generate heat. A person’s skin is cold and white. Rapid rewarming with blankets and a change of clothes is the standard treatment. Immersion in warm water is another acceptable treatment. Moderate hypothermia is a core temperature of 82 to 90 F (28 to 32 C). Shivering diminishes, speech becomes slurred, the heart beats slowly, and people are confused. Severe hypothermia is a core temperature below 82 F (28 C). Shivering

stops, the skin is cold and stiff, blood pressure is low, and breathing has slowed. HEALTH People are often unreDr. Paul sponsive. Donohue All ■■■ hypothermia is an emergency and should be treated in a hospital where there are facilities for rapid rewarming and where there is equipment that monitors organ function. Moderate and severe hypothermia require professional attention. Even then, the mortality rate from severe hypothermia approaches 40 percent. If an affected person is stranded in a remote area, the best that can be done is to warm that person with a change of clothing, wrap him or her in blankets and take any measures available to raise that person’s temperature. Exercising in cold weather is all right if you are sensible about it. In extreme cold, you should stay inside. Otherwise, dress in layers. Long underwear made from lightweight polyester or polypropylene wicks sweat away from the skin and serves as the best material for the first layers. Over the underwear, a layer of fleece or wool clothing serves as heat insulation. An outer layer of material that allows moisture to transfer to the air but repels wind and water is best. The

head should be covered. A ski mask is good protection. Gloves or mittens should be worn. Dear Dr. Donohue: I’m a male, 51 years old, and in good shape. I eat healthy and get lots of rest. I exercise. My doctor says my cholesterol is still high, so I take 40 mg of Lipitor daily. My question is this: I read that taking a statin drug (Lipitor) can prevent muscle growth. I work out three times a week, with 15 minutes of cardio exercise and 45 minutes of weight training. In more than two years, I have seen little muscle growth. My muscles are better toned than they were. Can I cut my Lipitor in half and still get benefits from it? – J.D. I have never seen in print or heard that statins prevent muscle growth. They can cause muscle pain. Statins lower cholesterol more effectively than just about any other intervention. Don’t decrease the dose of your medicine without consulting your doctor and without knowing what your current cholesterol level is. Muscle growth occurs only by constantly presenting new challenges to the muscles. That entails gradual increase in the amount of weight you lift. Once you can perform three consecutive sets of 12 lifts, increase the poundage and cut back to three consecutive sets of eight lifts.

Experience gives boost to Vickers

ormer driver-turnedbroadcaster Darrell Waltrip jokingly refers to it as ‘xperience. Going into its fourth season, the Red Bull team that fields the No. 83 Toyotas driven by Thomasville native Brian Vickers doesn’t have as much as those who are consistently at the top of the food chain at every race in the Cup Series. Actually, SPORTS make that just over three and Greer a half seasons. Smith Vickers failed ■■■ to qualify for 13 races and his then-teammate AJ Allmendinger didn’t make the field nearly half the time in the team’s inaugural season in 2007. Over the past two years, it has gone off the growth chart, from barely being able to crawl to running fast enough last year that Vickers won five poles, picked up the team’s first victory in August at Michigan and earned its first berth in the Chase for the Championship. The good times ended then. Vickers had five finishes of 24th or worse and no finishes in the top 10 as he limped to 12th and last among the Chase drivers in the final standings. Even with the disappointing playoff, Vickers believes his team is good enough to qualify for the Chase again and good enough to finish in the top five if it can overcome some of its inexperience. “I think a lot of where we need to improve is just not making mistakes, and some of it is just time,” Vickers said. “I don’t think it is any particular area or person that needs to be changed. Just as a team, we need time to grow and mesh and make some mistakes and learn from them.” The team meshed well enough in the 10 races leading up to the Chase to score the most points. During that sprint, Vickers picked up his win, six finishes in the top 10, an 11th and a 12th. “When we’re on top of our game, we’re really good,” Vickers said. “When we’re not, it is usually our own fault. We make mistakes and it costs us opportunities.” One of the mistakes made last year, Vickers said, was getting behind early in the season and then having to push so hard to make the Chase. “By the time we got into the Chase, in a lot of ways we

were burned out,” Vickers said. “We made mistakes in the Chase that cost us a shot at the championship. Can we run for a Vickers championship? Absolutely ... But realistically, what the next step is for a team of our age and our maturity is probably a top-five in points. I think if we can repeat what we did last year plus be in the top five it would be a really good year.” Part of the reason Vickers had to rally to make the Chase was a crash with Dale Earnhardt Jr. in the Daytona 500. Vickers tried to block Earnhardt on the backstretch, forcing Earnhardt past the yellow out-of-bounds line into the infield grass. Earnhardt retaliated, with the contact sending Vickers spinning into traffic, causing a multi-car crash. Vickers finished 40th and didn’t crack the top 12 until he jumped from 13th to eighth in the Chase cutoff race at Richmond. “We really have got to learn how to pace ourselves more going into (the Chase) with the idea of performing better while we are in it,” Vickers said. “Obviously, you do that and you have to set yourself up early in the season to almost lock yourself into the Chase or be in a good enough position that you can rest before the Chase, which we didn’t do last year, and that’s kind of our goal this year.” Vickers appears to have a good chance to get off to a much better start when the season gets underway with the 52nd running of the 500 on Sunday. He managed to move his car into the lead for a lap in his qualifying race on Thursday before it got loose and Tony Stewart moved him out of the way with six laps to go. Vickers scraped the turn four wall before getting his car under control, lost several positions and finished 10th. “Tony kept making a run to the outside,” Vickers said. “I probably should have stayed in the bottom lane and just dealt with it, but I decided to go up the track and block him. The car was loose and it was all I could do to hold on to it. All in all, I was happy with the car. We were a few minor adjustments from being just right.” It remains to be seen if Vickers and his team have learned from the mistakes of the past to get through the 500 clean. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

HPU men eager to jump in Big South standings BY STEVE HANF ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

HIGH POINT – The biggest hurdle in High Point University’s late-season climb was cleared Thursday. “ ‘Why not tonight? Nobody expects us to win,’ ” Scott Cherry relayed to his team prior to the Panthers’ 69-65 win over first-place Coastal Carolina. “I talked to our guys about using this to carry us forward. Now is the best time to be playing well. Now is the time to gel. I told the guys, ‘Let’s start with this one.’ “We play four out of our last six games at home,” Cherry continued. “We can really put ourselves in a great position to get a home game (in the league tournament).” The top four teams earn home games when the Big South Tournament kicks off March 2. After the Panthers suffered losses in three of four Big South games to fall to 6-6 in league play, they needed some serious momentum to make that dream a reality. Thursday’s win was one heck of a shot in the arm, as HPU built a big early lead, held off the conference’s most dominant team – and did it with key contributions from eight different players who saw 15 or more minutes of action. “We’re motivated for these next five games,” said Earnest Bridges. “Send us into the conference tournament on a high so we can make some noise in the Big South.” The Panthers may have gotten a leg up on the competition by beating Coastal, as their closing schedule includes last-place Presbyterian, No. 9 VMI and middle-of-the-pack squads Charleston Southern and Liberty. Only Winthrop, currently 9-4 in the league, is in contention for the conference championship, and the Panthers get to play the Eagles in the Millis Center this time around.

Panther women look to get back on track today. 3C Southern, the key will be playing with the same kind of energy that fueled Thursday’s win. The game is a sell-out, and enthusiasm will be running high on the court and off thanks to the television crew in the house. The Mid-Atlantic Sports Network (MASN) serves seven states from Pennsylvania to North Carolina. Local fans with cable will miss out, but both satellite providers offer the channel on regular packages: Dish Network (Ch. 432.), DirecTV (Ch. 640). The Panthers’ win at GardnerWebb two weeks ago also was televised, and Bridges said his dad watched the game with friends in Maryland. “It was pretty exciting. It felt pretty good,” Bridges said of the TV experience. Still, the TV lights won’t be able to brighten the Panthers’ moods if they let the Buccaneers escape with a victory. CSU rallied for a 73-69 win in the first meeting. Cherry gets to coach on camera in his bare feet as part of the Big South’s charitable drive for Samaritan’s Feet, a humanitarian relief organization that gives shoes to children around the world. To raise awareness and funds for the conference-wide goal of collecting 17,000 pairs of shoes, each basketball coach will go barefoot once this season. HPU fans can support Samaritan’s Feet by bringing new athletic sneakers to a game as a donation, making a cash donation at a game, or texting the word “Panthers” to 85944 to add a $5 donation to your monthly phone bill. shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

HIT AND RUN

f it is any consolation for those of you who battled snow last night, Friday was no day at the beach in Daytona. Rain fell much of the morning and afternoon with temperatures in the upper 40s as huge puddles of water formed in the infield. It was a dreary day compared to Thursday’s bright bit of racing in the qualifying events that produced a pair of side-by-side finishes without a crash that would have sent a bunch of cars to the scrap heap. Judging from Juan Pablo Montoya’s comments, don’t look for drivers to play niceynicey if they come down to the finish of the Daytona 500 with the top two cars pushed by two more cars pushed by two more cars as they come off turn four. A number of drivers on Friday said no one

went over the edge Thursday because all of the 35 that were assured of starting the Daytona 500 didn’t want to destroy their best car. “I’m just glad that everyone put their thinking caps on,” Kurt Busch said. “They knew this was their Daytona 500 car and that they needed to give that inch. Nobody was overly aggressive when it came to making moves.” That won’t be the case Sunday. Montoya pretty much guaranteed he will stir the pot if he comes to the finish in a position similar to the one he was in at the end of the second qualifying race. As Kasey Kahne and Tony Stewart battled for the lead, Montoya was pushing Stewart as Kurt Busch pushed Kahne, who won. Montoya said he could have taken a shot to get past Stewart.

“Then I realized that I’ve got to have this car on Sunday, at least,” Montoya said. “I could have hit Tony in the tri-oval but most likely would have wrecked him into (Kahne) and ticked off a lot of people for no reason.” Winning one of the biggest races in the world will give him and others reason to roll the dice Sunday. “You just don’t care,” Montoya said. “You only have to run another 100 yards, so you’ll probably make it even if you are going the wrong way.” Those who complain about NASCAR races being boring shouldn’t have much to grumble about Sunday.

HPU women seek to end slide BY STEVE HANF ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

HIGH POINT â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A loss at Gardner-Webb last month only momentarily slowed the High Point University womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball team, which responded with three more victories in a row. A win against the Runninâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Bulldogs today would put the brakes on a three-game losing streak and help the Panthers remain in the Big South Conference title chase. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think our confidence has been rattled a little bit, but I know it hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been broken,â&#x20AC;? HPU coach Tooey Loy said of his team, picked as co-favorites to win the Big South along with Liberty. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what (to-

day) will bring, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still very confident that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re as good or better as anybody in the conference. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to do everything in our power to make sure come March weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a great chance of making the NCAA Tournament.â&#x20AC;? A win over Gardner-Webb in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2 p.m. tip at the Millis Center would go a long way toward restoring High Pointâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s confidence. The Runninâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Bulldogs enter at 20-3 overall and 9-1 in the Big South, atop the league standings after Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 59-56 win at Liberty.

STORRS, Conn. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Connecticut coach Jim Calhoun said he will not commit to coaching beyond this season, even though his 31â &#x201E;2-week medical leave of absence did nothing to diminish his desire to coach basketball. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I started with this team and I want to finish with this team in the sense that we started something together,â&#x20AC;? Calhoun said Friday in his first public remarks since taking a

such as point guard Dominique Hudson, twin sister Monique Hudson, Margaret Roundtree and Courtney Epps. Roundtree is the lone senior of the bunch, while the other three are talented junior guards who have helped Gardner-Webb emerge from years of growing pains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a very talented team, a very experienced team,â&#x20AC;? Loy said. To beat Gardner-Webb, the Panthers first must emerge from their current slump. After losing a battle for first place against Liberty two weeks ago, High Point (13-10, 6-4) played poorly in back-to-back losses at Coastal Carolina and Charleston Southern. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Probably for the first time in

CHAPEL HILL â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Hours before North Carolina was to begin a weekend celebrating 100 years of basketball, the Tar Heels received some bad news. Ed Davis, the Tar Heelsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; leading rebounder and No. 2 scorer, will miss at least six weeks with a broken bone in his left wrist, the school announced Friday. The sophomore broke the lunate bone in his wrist during Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 64-54 loss to No. 8 Duke when he fell after a collision with 9:16 to play and the scored tied at 43. Davis had his wrist taped and continued playing but did not score the rest of the game, finishing with four points, six rebounds and career-high six blocks. Davis is not scheduled for surgery at this time, as tests revealed no ligament damage but his wrist will be immobilized for at least the next six weeks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all extremely disappointed for Ed and for our entire team,â&#x20AC;? UNC coach Roy Williams said in a statement. Davis will be the third UNC big man on the bench today when the Tar Heels, who have lost four straight, host N.C. State (4 p.m., ESPN). Freshman Travis Wear, who missed the Duke game, is out indefinitely with a severe left ankle sprain, and sophomore Tyler Zeller has been on the bench since Jan. 13 with a stress fracture in his right foot. Both the Tar Heels and Wolfpack will be trying to avoid being ranked last in the ACC, with UNC (13-11, 2-7) holding a slight edge over N.C. State (14-11, 2-8). Wolfpack enior guard Farnold Degand has been dealing with a thigh bruise. He is expected to play today.

Six share Pebble lead THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. – Given the talent on tour, Paul Goydos is not the least bit surprised that six players were tied for the lead Friday at the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. Being part of that group? Under the circumstances, Goydos found that highly un-

usual. Goydos arrived at Spyglass Hill and headed to the putting green, only to realize he wasn’t wearing golf shoes. More than five hours and seven birdies later, he had a 7-under 65. Also at 10under 132 were Dustin Johnson, Alex Cejka (67 at Spyglass), Bryce Molder (65 at Monterey), J.B. Holmes (67 at Monterey) and Matt Jones.

WOODS’ INDEFINITE BREAK CONTINUES

PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. (AP) – The 64-man field at the Match Play Championship does not include Tiger Woods. Woods did not meet the deadline Friday afternoon for entering the Match Play Championship next week in Arizona, the tournament where he made his comeback a year ago from knee surgery. Phil Mickelson already has said he won’t be playing the Match Play because of a family holiday. The tournament starts Wednesday at Dove Mountain just north of Tucson, with Steve Stricker as the No. 1 seed. AP

Danica Patrick stands by her car during the NASCAR Nationwide Series practice at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Fla. on Wednesday. Rain washed out Friday’s qualifying for today’s race. Patrick will start 15th.

Rain dampens Daytona festivities DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Rain that started in the morning and lasted into the night at Daytona International Speedway on Friday washed out qualifying for today’s 300-mile Nationwide race and a Cup practice session. Starting lineup for the Nationwide race was set per the rule book, putting Kyle Busch on the pole based on last year’s owner points. “We’ll behind the 8-ball because the Chevys have a bigger restrictor plate,” Busch said. “Kevin Harvick and Tony Stewart are really fast in the KHI cars. So we’ll be at a disadvantage. But we have a good car. We’re starting up front and we’ll try to stay there.” The top 30 were set on car owner points. Greg Biffle and Tony Stewart got in as winners from last year. The last 13 spots were decided by draw. Carl Edwards, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Harvick, John Wes Townley (in an RCR car) and Joey Logano fill out the rest of the first three rows. Brian Vickers starts seventh. Danica Patrick will start 15th thanks to the points earned by JR Motorsports’ No. 5 last year. Busch said he would work with Patrick at the end of the race if her car is fast and she is driving smoothly. “If nobody has had issues with her and she’s been fast, I’d work with her,” Busch said. “If she’s been erratic and her car is slow, I wouldn’t.” Patrick isn’t the only female in the lineup. Mike Wallace’s daughter, Chrissy, will start 35th in one of Rick Ware’s Chevrolets out of Thomas-

ville and is one of four Wallaces in the field. The others are Mike, Mike’s brother Kenny, and Rusty Wallace’s son, Steven (Chrissy’s cousin, Mike and Kenny’s nephew). “I hope to follow in Danica’s footsteps and help prove that a female can win races and championships,” said Chrissy Wallace, who turned down a full scholarship to play softball at Lenoir-Rhyne so she could race. Stanton Barrett starts 41st in Ware’s other car. Michael McDowell starts 25th in the car owned by Thomasville’s Randy MacDonald. Cancellation of Friday’s Cup practice session leaves teams one 85-minute session this morning to make adjustments to their cars for the Daytona 500. “Our 500 car, it’s a fast car,” qualifying race winner Kasey Kahne said about his Ford on Friday. “We still need to get some practice in, so tomorrow will be a big day for us to make a few more gains on it. The rain may change some things a little more. We’ll be off, so we need to keep up with the track and how it’s been changing.” Kahne won with one of Ford’s new-generation Cup engines under the hood but will go with the older-generation engine in the 500. All teams are allowed to change engines between the qualifying race and the 500 without penalty. Ford announced that Matt Kenseth of Roush Fenway Racing, Elliott Sadler of Richard Petty Motorsports and the Wood Brothers’ Bill Elliott will run the new-style engine in the 500. Kahne, Edwards, AJ Allmendinger, Paul Menard and Greg Biffle are those who ran in the new engine in the qualifying races and will use the old one Sunday.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) – NASCAR officials postponed the Camping World Trucks race Friday night at Daytona International Speedway because of rain. The race was rescheduled for 7 p.m. today. Heavy showers washed out all at-track activity at Daytona

THE DAYTONA NOTEBOOK:

TICKETS LEFT Daytona Speedway president Robin Braig said Friday that several thousand tickets are left for the Daytona 500, which easily sold out as recently as two years ago. Braig said a few tickets remain for seats in the backstretch grandstand, which was reduced by 11,000 seats. The track is putting in a raceday amusement area where the seats were taken out. Most of the remaining unsold tickets are the track’s most expensive for seats on the frontstretch. “I think that’s just a sign of how much the economy has changed,” Braig said. “As late as 2008, we sold out in October and our most expensive seats went first. Now, it’s our least expensive seats that are almost gone.”

SPARK PLUGS Edwards could become a father any day. His wife Kate’s due date for delivering a daughter is Wednesday. “We’re just going to go race and hopefully all the baby happening will happen on Monday (the day after the Daytona 500).” ... Edwards’ sponsor, Subway, will donate 500 footlong subs to a food bank in his hometown of Columbia, Mo., if he wins Sunday. The company will also donate 50 subs for each lap he leads. ... Billy Wheeler, crew chief for Norm Benning in the Truck Series, was suspended indefinitely by NASCAR for violation of its substance-abuse policy. ... BAM Racing, which fielded its No. 49 here but has a technical alliance with Robby Gordon Racing, said its Warner Music sponsorship will go on Gordon’s car through the remainder of the first five races.

Basketball Hall of Fame finalists: Malone, Pippen, Dream Team DALLAS (AP) – Magic Johnson knows exactly how a game would have gone between his 1992 Dream Team and the 1960 Olympic team, another of the great U.S. champions filled with Hall of Fame players. “We probably would have beat each other’s heads up and really hurt each other because we both want to win so bad,” Johnson said Friday. Those great Olympic championship teams could be enshrined together in the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame after being listed among 19 finalists for the Class of 2010 that will be announced April 5. Two-time NBA MVP Karl Malone and six-time champion Scottie Pippen, who were on that 1992 team with superstars such as Larry Bird, Michael Jordan and Johnson, are among individual players who made the lists of finalists revealed at the start of the NBA All-Star weekend. The 1960 team, led by Hall of Famers Jerry West and Oscar Robertson and with fellow Hall members Walt Bellamy and Jerry Lucas, swept through the Rome Olympics by an average margin of 42.4 points.

UNC board approves Charlotte plan for football CHARLOTTE (AP) – The University of North Carolina at Charlotte is one step closer to fielding its own football team. The UNC Board of Governors on Friday approved the university’s funding plan that the school hopes will bring the sport to campus by 2013. UNC Charlotte Chancellor Philip Dubois said his school can see the goal line after the board’s passage on Friday. The school has said funding will come from a combination of a debtservice fees and private

support. The plan calls for student fees to increase by $120 for the 2010-2011 school year. Increases over the next three years would bring the total to $320. The fees would pay the debt on the stadium and other facilities, and the rest would go to fund the program itself. Those fees could be reduced, depending on sales and business and alumni contributions. The final step for 49er football comes when state legislators consider the plan to build a stadium and related facilities.

Goodell given new contract until March 2015 NEW YORK (AP) – NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has been given a new five-year contract running until March 2015. Goodell replaced Paul Tagliabue on Sept. 1, 2006, and his contract was due to expire this September. The NFL said Friday that owners voted to award the new contract when they met in December. “Commissioner Goodell and his staff have done an outstanding

job and this is a statement of confidence in Roger’s leadership,” Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank, chairman of the NFL’s compensation committee, said in a statement. “NFL ownership recognizes his already significant list of accomplishments and is fully behind his strategic vision for the future of our league.” Goodell’s new deal and the NFL’s latest federal tax filing were first

reported Friday by Sports Business Journal, and the league then released the information to The Associated Press. While all terms of the new deal have not been completed. Blank said the annual compensation will be unchanged. The NFL said a year ago that Goodell voluntarily took a cut of 20-25 percent, and that he and other league executives were freezing their salaries for 2009.

VALENCIA, Spain (AP) – The monster trimaran USA delivered a huge victory for challenger BMW Oracle Racing against two-time defending champion Alinghi of Switzerland in the dramatic first race of their bitter America’s Cup showdown on Friday. Owned by Silicon Valley maverick Larry Ellison and steered by Jimmy Spithill of Australia, the black-and-white USA literally flew over the Mediterranean Sea along the Spanish coast on Friday, powered by a radical, 223-foot wing sail. USA recovered from

a blunder at the start to rout the equally immense catamaran Alinghi 5. The original margin was 10 minutes, 5 seconds, but Alinghi apparently bungled a 270-degree penalty turn at the finish and had to redo it. The official margin was 15:28, with the finish coming just before dusk on a cold, clear day. BMW Oracle Racing, sponsored by San Francisco’s Golden Gate Yacht Club, is one win away from bringing the America’s Cup back to the United States for the first time since Dennis Conner lost it to Team New Zealand in 1995. Race 2 is Sunday.

Andrews sweeps Wheatmore; Central trips Ragsdale ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORTS

BASKETBALL WHEATMORE, T.W. ANDREWS HIGH POINT – The T. Wingate Andrews girls built a big early lead and then had to rally in the fourth quarter to post a 42-39 win over Wheatmore in Friday night’s PAC 6 2A contest. “The second half was back and forth, but toward the end of the game we made some big free-throws to pull out the win, and we got some big stops,” Red Raiders coach Weaver Walden said. “Our pressure defense pulled out the win for us.” Bria Byrd, Cherish McArthur and Jamie Bailey each hit key foul shots in the closing minutes. Byrd finished with 19 points and Elaina Skarote added 12 to lead Andrews (8-11, 6-2), which owned a 13-0 advantage after one quarter.

The Raiders built a 27-11 lead after one quarter and jumped ahead 45-24 at the break. JV call-up Ervin Williams led the scoring effort with 11 points, while Jalen Ford had eight. Andrews got seven points each from Alex Smith, Quan Stevenson and Jamie Smith and six points each from Torian Showers, Darius Rogers and Donald Williamson.

Olympic luger from Georgia dies after crash THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WHISTLER, British Columbia – It took only three seconds. Sliding faster than ever in his life, 21-year-old Nodar Kumaritashvili had one turn left in his final Olympic training run. Flirting with 90 mph on a $100 million track pushing speed to the outer limits, the luger from the republic of Georgia tilted his head slightly forward as his sled climbed the high-banked wall. His last move. Kumaritashvili lost control, crashing into the wall entering the final straightaway. His body went airborne, arms and legs flailing over the opposite side of the track, his upper body smashing into an unpadded steel pole as his sled con-

tinued skidding down the track. It all took just 48.9 seconds, start to crash. Paramedics began working on Kumaritashvili within seconds, quickly starting chest compressions and mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, all to no avail. The IOC said Kumaritashvili was pronounced dead at a trauma center in Whistler. Less than an hour after the accident, a representative from each team was told the grim news. With that, tears began flowing across the close-knit sliding world and throughout the Olympic family. “I have no words,” a teary International Olympic Committee president Jacques Rogge said, “to say what we feel.” Within an hour of the accident,

an investigation was opened. Security officials closed access to the crash area and the remainder of the track for the rest of the day, and all further training runs scheduled for Friday were canceled. Women’s luge Olympians are scheduled to train at the track this morning, nine hours before the men’s twoday competition is set to begin.

FIRST OLYMPIC DELAY: WOMEN’S SUPER-COMBINED WHISTLER, British Columbia – Snow conditions forced the first delay at the Vancouver Olympics, postponing the women’s supercombined Alpine race. The women had been scheduled to race Sunday, and a new date has not been set yet. The status of today’s men’s downhill race is uncertain.

Lincecum set with ‘Giant’ two-year, $23M deal NEW YORK (AP) – Tim Lincecum and the San Francisco Giants avoided a potentially divisive salary arbitration hearing, reaching a preliminary agreement Friday on a $23 million, two-year contract that gives the twotime NL Cy Young Award winner a huge raise. The sides had been scheduled for a hearing Friday, and the lean right-hander with a high leg kick and stringy hair had asked for an arbitration-record $13 million. The Giants offered $8 million to the two-time All-Star, eligible for arbitration for the first time after making $650,000. Outfielder Corey Hart

beat Milwaukee in the first arbitration decision of the year. He was awarded a raise from $3.25 million to $4.8 million by arbitrators. Right-hander Jeremy Guthrie and Baltimore agreed to a $3 million, one-year contract. Second baseman Adam Kennedy and Washington finalized a $1.5 million, one-year contract and designated hitter Mike Sweeney (Seattle) and right-hander Kip Wells (Cincinnati) agreed to minor league deals. Frank Thomas announced his retirement following a 19-season career in which he hit 521 homers and batted .301.

Kroger, Shell enter gas-discount deal CINCINNATI (AP) — The Kroger Co. and Shell Oil are combining forces to offer gas discounts for grocery shoppers at Shell stations. The deal provides a major expansion of the largest U.S. traditional grocer’s ability to offer gas incentives, an increasingly popular industry tool for building loyalty among recession-squeezed households. Beginning Monday, regular Kroger shoppers in five markets in Ohio, Tennessee and California can get at least 10 cents off a gallon at about 200 Shell stations after buying $100 in groceries.

Democrats ax jobs bill WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Democrats scrapped a bipartisan jobs bill in favor of one they say is leaner and focused solely on putting Americans back to work, and they’re all but daring Republicans to vote against it. The new, stripped-down proposal followed criticism that the bipartisan version wouldn’t create many jobs. The switch brought sharp accusations of reneging from Republicans who thought they had a deal, jeopardizing a brief attempt at bipartisan lawmaking. Senate Majority Leader

Harry Reid’s latest bill focuses on several popular provisions aimed at boosting job creation, including a new tax break negotiated with Republicans for companies that hire unemployed workers and for small businesses that purchase new equipment. It also would renew highway programs and help states and local governments finance large infrastructure projects. Reid, D-Nev., put forward the pared-back plan after Senate Democrats balked at a broader bill stuffed with unrelated provisions sought by lobbyists for business groups and doctors. The surprise

blew apart an agreement with key Republicans like Chuck Grassley of Iowa, who worked with Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus, D-Mont., for weeks to produce a bill containing the extra provisions. The original bill had won support from across the political spectrum, from President Barack Obama as well as conservative Republicans in the Senate, offering the promise of a rare bipartisan package in a Congress that has been gripped by partisan fights. To get that support, however, the package had morphed into a 361-page grab bag

of provisions that included extending benefits to the unemployed and tax breaks for businesses. Now, the bipartisan agreement is off. “Our side isn’t sure that the Republicans are real interested in developing good policy and to move forward together,” said Sen. Thomas Carper, DDel. “Instead, they are more inclined to play rope-a-dope again. My own view is, let’s test them.” Said Reid: “Republicans are going to have to make a choice. I don’t know in logic what they could say to oppose this.” House Speaker Nancy

U.S. rig count rises by 11

Duke Energy profit rises

HOUSTON (AP) — The number of rigs actively exploring for oil and natural gas in the U.S. rose by 11 this week to 1,346. Houston-based Baker Hughes Inc. said Friday that 891 rigs were exploring for natural gas and 443 for oil. Twelve were listed as miscellaneous. A year ago this week, the rig count stood at 1,339.

Volkswagen global sales rise in January BERLIN (AP) — German car maker Volkswagen AG said Friday that its global sales were up more than 40 percent on the year in January, powered by strong demand in China. Deliveries by the Volkswagen Group — including brands such as Volkswagen, Audi, Seat and Skoda — totaled 538,500 vehicles in January, up from 381,100 a year earlier. That was a 41.3 percent increase.

Crude rally ends on China lending NEW YORK (AP) — A four-day rally in oil prices ended Friday as China announced steps to cool its credit boom, raising worries that demand for crude from one of the world’s biggest consumers of energy will weaken. Benchmark crude for March delivery fell $1.15 to settle at $74.13 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. In London, Brent crude was down $1.22 to settle at $72.90 on the ICE futures exchange.

DILBERT

Pelosi issued a statement Friday saying she would work with Reid on the bill. However, she emphasized that she wants the bill to include key provisions from a $174 billion jobs bill passed by the House in December, including $23 billion in aid to states, mainly for schools. The House bill is much bigger than Reid’s proposal, with more emphasis on spending than tax breaks. The House bill didn’t include a tax break for hiring workers because House Democrats were skeptical that it would create many jobs.

Retail gains could boost growth WASHINGTON (AP) — A modestly better-thanexpected report on retail sales for January could suggest stronger economic growth in coming months. But this week’s severe snowstorms will likely depress activity in February. The 0.5 percent gain the Commerce Department reported Friday exceeded the 0.3 percent rise economists had expected. Strength came

from a surge at general merchandise stores. These include big chains such as those owned by Wal-Mart Stores Inc. Excluding autos, sales rose 0.6 percent. Higher consumer spending is vital because it accounts for about 70 percent of economic activity. Economists caution, though, that the spending increases seen since summer could falter as the jobs crisis weighs on a fledgling recovery.

They noted a second report that showed consumer confidence slipped in early February. The Reuters/ University of Michigan consumer sentiment index dipped to 73.7 for early February. That was down from 74.4 in January. Some analysts said the unsettled global economy is eroding confidence that the United States can sustain a recovery from the worst recession in decades.

A debt crisis in Greece has plunged the euro, the currency used by 16 European nations, into the worst turmoil since it was launched 11 years ago. Financial markets fear a domino effect that could derail a global rebound. Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou criticized the European Union on Friday for being too “timid” and slow in its support for Greece.

Discover settles with Morgan Stanley RIVERWOODS, Illinois (AP) — Discover Financial Services said on Friday that it paid Morgan Stanley $775 million to settle a dispute over the proceeds from an antitrust lawsuit filed before Morgan Stanley spun off Discover in 2007. The settlement, which Discover disclosed in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing, comes

after a New York state Supreme Court justice ruled early last month that Discover had to pay Morgan Stanley a special dividend negotiated when the credit card company was spun off. A the time of the June 2007 spinoff, Discover agreed with Morgan Stanley to share money received from an antitrust lawsuit Discover

had pending against Visa Inc. and MasterCard Inc. Discover settled the antitrust case for $2.75 billion, of which Morgan Stanley was entitled to $1.2 billion. However, Discover declined to pay Morgan Stanley, claiming it interfered in the Visa and MasterCard settlement. Morgan Stanley, which is based in New York, then

sued Discover in a New York court for breach of contract. Discover paid the taxes on the settlement money, which was put in an escrow account pending the outcome of the lawsuit. That means the settlement will be added directly to Morgan Stanley’s profit since taxes were already paid on the money.

CHARLOTTE (AP) — Power company Duke Energy said Friday that its fourth-quarter profit climbed 5 percent as cost cuts offset continued weak demand for electricity. Duke, one of the nation’s largest power generators with 4 million customers, said it made $346 million, or 26 cents per share, for the quarter ended Dec. 31 compared with profit of $331 million, or 26 cents per share, in the year ago-quarter. Revenue was flat at $3.1 billion.

Toyota woes worry Japan TOKYO (AP) — As pressure intensifies for Toyota’s chief to testify before Congress about the automaker’s safety lapses, Japanese leaders worry that the problem — if handled poorly — could damage ties between the two nations. Relations between Washington and Tokyo are already strained by a dispute between over the relocation of a key U.S. Marine base on Okinawa. Political tension rose a notch Thursday when a Republican in the House of Representatives said he would support issuing a subpoena to compel Toyota President Akio Toyoda to appear before congressional committees to examine the company’s string of safety problems.

DirecTV sues Dish Network over ad NEW YORK (AP) — Satellite TV provider DirecTV Inc. is suing its rival, Dish Network Corp., for running an advertisement claiming that Dish delivers the same programs for less money. The TV commercial shows three TV sets broadcasting the same

programs, with Dish costing $39.99 a month, DirecTV costing $63.99 and cable TV at $63.83. DirecTV’s lawsuit, filed Thursday in U.S. District Court in New York, accuses Dish of “blatantly false and misleading advertising.” DirecTV said the subscription plan used

in the commercial offers more than 140 channels while Dish Network’s cheaper plan has fewer than 100 channels. Dish said it stands by its claim. Dish launched its “Why Pay More” ad campaign last summer and since has been reversing a decline in subscribers.

Stocks end mixed after China slows lending NEW YORK (AP) — Industrial stocks stumbled Friday after China said it would take more steps to keep its economy from growing too fast. Regulators in China are trying to keep the nation’s rapid economic growth from getting out of hand. But investors worry that a slowdown in China could disrupt a U.S. recovery by hurting exports and profits of companies that do business there. The Dow Jones industrial average closed down 45 points but had been down as much as 160 points after China said its banks would have to hold on to more cash. That cuts down on how

much they can lend. Stocks ended mixed but the Dow and other major indexes posted gains for the week, their first after four losing weeks. The surprise announcement out of China came a day after a tame inflation report there raised hopes that the country wouldn’t have to do more to put the brakes on its supercharged economy. The market pulled off of its lows as the day went on as traders saw merit in China’s policy of keeping its growth under control. China’s move to curtail lending was only the latest development to rattle traders. The stock market has fallen from 15-

month highs in the past four weeks as traders recoil from policy fights in Washington and from economic problems popping up in Europe such as Greece’s debt crisis. Just the whiff of a slowdown in China was enough to batter shares of industrial companies and materials producers. The reasons are twofold: A slower-growing Chinese economy would mean weaker demand for industrial goods like metals and jet engines. Also, a jump in the dollar and the corresponding weakness in commodities prices that resulted hurt companies that rely on oil, copper and other basic materials to make

money. Aluminum producer Alcoa, airplane maker Boeing and General Electric each fell more than 1 percent. All three are among the 30 stocks that make up the Dow Jones industrials. The Dow fell 45.05, or 0.4 percent, to 10,099.14. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index dropped 2.96, or 0.3 percent, to 1,075.51, while the Nasdaq composite index rose 6.12, or 0.3 percent, to 2,183.53. For the week, the Dow and the S&P 500 index each rose 0.9 percent while the Nasdaq jumped 2 percent. U.S. markets are closed Monday for President’s Day.

In this Jan. 6, 2010 file photo, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer gives the keynote address at the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.

Microsoft to show phone software NEW YORK (AP) — Microsoft Corp. is expected to announce a major revamp of its phone software Monday, in an attempt to regain momentum in a crucial market where it’s been overshadowed. CEO Steve Ballmer will be speaking at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, the world’s largest cell phone trade show, and analysts expect him to reveal Windows Mobile 7. The software could be in phones by late this year. The new software comes as Microsoft, dominant when smart phones were young, has taken a

back seat to Research in Motion Ltd.’s BlackBerrys among corporate users and Apple Inc.’s iPhone among consumers. “They seem to have lost the world’s attention in smart phones,” said Dan Hays, who specializes in telecommunications at management consulting firm PRTM. The new software is expected to be more consumer-focused than previous versions, with a simplified user interface, which could be borrowed in part from Microsoft’s well-reviewed — but lowselling — Zune HD media player. “If that thing had a

China raises bank reserve level BEIJING (AP) — China moved to curtail bank lending Friday for the second time in a month in the latest effort to cool down its supercharged economy. Chinese leaders worry that a stimulus-driven torrent of lending is fueling a dangerous bubble in stock and real estate prices. They also are concerned that the flood of money surging through the economy is adding to inflation. Beijing declared China had emerged from the global crisis after eco-

nomic growth rebounded to 10.7 percent in the final quarter of 2009. But authorities say the global outlook is still uncertain, and analysts expect them to try to avoid rate hikes even as they start winding down their stimulus. Banks were ordered Friday to increase reserves by half a percentage point — to 16.5 percent for large lenders and to 14.5 percent for smaller institutions. Rural lenders that serve farmers were exempted to guarantee adequate credit for agriculture.

phone in it ... that would be a pretty darn good device,” said Charles Golvin, analyst with Forrester Research. “But my own judgment is that this is kind of their last chance,” Golvin said. “If Windows Mobile doesn’t get it right this time around, they’re probably toast.” Microsoft is famous, Golvin said, for sticking to its projects, version after version. But developments in smart phones are coming so fast that tenacity alone won’t help. RIM and Apple are already squeezing Microsoft out, and in the last year, Google Inc. has emerged as a major

player with its Android software. Microsoft has said it would not comment in advance of Monday’s event. Windows phones accounted for 9 percent of smart phones sold worldwide last year, according to research firm In-Stat. That was down from 13.2 percent in 2008. Much is at stake in the battle for smart phone dominance. Phones steer their users to potentially lucrative Web services and ads. Software developers write their applications first for the largest base of phones, making those phones even more attractive.

Euro currency union showing strains FRANKFURT (AP) — Can the frugal and the profligate cohabit the eurozone? With Greece overdrawn and no one eager to foot the bill, Europe’s messy debt crisis has exposed a fundamental weakness among the 16 countries that share the euro: different and often diametrically opposed approaches to spending don’t make for a happy union. By telling Greece they stand shoulder-to-shoulder as it struggles to rein in a runaway deficit and impose severe austerity

measures, but offering little more than moral support, the European Union’s biggest hitters — Germany and France — only slowed the market contagion afflicting Greece, and did not cure it. As a result, analysts, politicians and observers contend, that may brake momentum for countries like Latvia adopting the beleaguered euro. More broadly, it could force Europe, already in a winter of growing discontent, to reconsider how much of a union it really wishes to be.

American Air, Japan Airlines seek antitrust deal DALLAS (AP) – American Airlines said Friday it has asked U.S. regulators to let it work more closely with Japan Airlines without violating antitrust laws. The two airlines already sell seats on each other’s flights. Antitrust immunity would let them go further, even working together to

set prices and schedules. American said it asked the U.S. Transportation Department for an exemption to antitrust laws to cooperate with Japan Airlines on trans-Pacific routes. The carriers said they would also notify Japanese officials of their intent to form a joint venture.

Obama signs bill allowing more US debt

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Forget red and blue – color America white. There was snow on the ground in 49 states Friday. Hawaii was the holdout. It was the United States of Snow, thanks to an unusual combination of weather patterns that dusted the U.S., including the skyscrapers of Dallas, the peach trees of Atlanta and the Florida Panhandle, where hurricanes are more common than snowflakes. More than two-thirds of the nation’s land mass had snow on the ground when the day dawned, and then it snowed ever so slightly in Florida to make it 49 states out of 50. At the same time, those weird weather forces are turning Canada’s Winter Olympics into the bring-yourown-snow games. Who’s the Great White North now? “I’m calling it the upside-down winter,” said David Robinson, head of the Global Snow Lab at Rutgers University in New Jersey. Snow paralyzed the Deep South on Friday.

Airlines cancel flights as snow slams South ATLANTA (AP) – Airlines canceled over 1,800 flights Friday as snow pounded parts of the South and dumped several inches of white on Atlanta, home to the world’s busiest airport. Light to moderate snow fell steadily throughout the afternoon in Atlanta and its northern suburbs. It wasn’t expected to taper off until late evening. There was a chance of more snow for the area on Monday, a federal holiday when many workers will have the day off. Snow totals weren’t expected to be big by mid-Atlantic and Northeast standards, but for

a region of the country that rarely gets snow and doesn’t budget snow and ice removal the way other parts of the country do, airlines weren’t taking any chances. That left thousands of passengers looking for other travel options. Airline passengers were encouraged to check the status of their flights online before leaving for airports. Passengers seemed to be heeding that advice. Officials reported short lines at ticket counters at Harts-

WASHINGTON (AP) – President Barack Obama has signed legislation lifting the cap on government borrowing to $14.3 trillion. The new law also puts in place new budget rules to curb growing annual deficits. Known as “paygo” – for “pay as you go” – the rules require future spending increases or tax cuts to be paid for with tax increases or other spending cuts. If the rules are broken, the White House budget office would force automatic cuts in programs like Medicare and farm subsidies. Most other benefit programs, including Medicaid, Social Security and food stamps, would be exempt.

Land Rover holds on to iconic look ANN M. JOB THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

There’s a new name on the mid-size Land Rover sport utility vehicle that looks like it just drove out of the Serengeti. The newfor-2010 LR4 also comes with improved ride and handling, prettier front styling and more power and luxury appointments than its predecessor. The need to change the name of the tall, boxy vehicle from LR3 is debatable. But other changes make the five- to sevenpassenger SUV better. Base pricing didn’t go up by much. Starting manufacturer’s suggested retail price, including destination charge, is $48,100 for a base, 2010 LR4 with 375horsepower V-8, automatic transmission, five-passenger seating and standard four-wheel drive. This is $1,275 more than the starting price of the 300-horsepower 2009 LR3. Option packages, however, can be pricey. For example, on the test LR4, a lux package that added third-row seats, totaled $11,115, so the final posted price was $61,715. That compares with the $65,995 starting retail price for a four-wheel-drive, 2010 Cadillac Escalade with 403-

The 2010 Land Rover LR4 stands more than 6.1 feet tall and passengers climb up to get to their seats. horsepower V-8, automatic transmission and three rows of seats. BMW’s 2010 X5 with 350-horsepower V-8, automatic tranny and all-wheel drive starts at $57,025. Note that Cadillac offers a two-wheel drive version of Escalade that starts at $63,445, and BMW has V-6powered versions of 2010 X5 that start at $48,325. But all LR4s have four-

wheel drive and a new, 5-liter, direct injection V-8 that delivers a noteworthy 375 foot-pounds at 3,500 rpm. This is up from 315 foot-pounds in the old, 4.8-liter V-8. Power came on steadily in the test LR4, and engine sounds were pleasing. At more than 5,600 pounds without any passengers or cargo, this SUV has a heavy feel, so the increased horsepower and

torque provide a much needed robust driving experience. It took just a couple seconds for the LR4 tester to respond when I pushed hard on the accelerator, and then the SUV could move quickly to grab an open spot in traffic. The accelerator pedal responded well when I wanted to slow down, too, as I lifted off the gas. There wasn’t an artifi-

Looking forward Pulte Homes hopes for better days ahead LOS ANGELES (AP) – Pulte Homes Inc. saw orders pick up starting last summer amid low mortgage interest rates and a tax credit for homebuyers. But many industry experts question whether the fragile housing recovery will sputter once the tax credits – $8,000 for new buyers and $6,500 for current owners – expire at the end of April. Recent housing data have stoked those doubts. Sales of new homes fell 7.6 percent in December for the second month in a

row. The results were the weakest since March and were only 4 percent above the bottom last January. And sales of previously occupied homes fell nearly 17 percent. Still, the number of people preparing to buy a home in December rose slightly from November, a positive sign heading into the spring home buying season. Many builders and industry analysts anticipate a lift in home sales in the spring, followed by a drop in demand the second half of the year.

Five financial habits to help wannabe homebuyers E

ver since the Great Recession began battering the U.S. economy, many people have tried to straighten out their personal finances. Many are motivated by a strong desire to buy a first home while prices are still moderate. “Homeownership remains a top financial goal for countless people,” says Gerri Detweiler, a consumer advocate and personal finance author. In the past, poor financial management skills, along with excessive debt loads, have stopped numerous households from moving forward toward a home purchase, says Detweiler, whose books include “The Ultimate Credit Handbook.” One major factor that’s held many people back is the absence of financial education programs in the U.S. educational system, according to Eric Tyson, author of “Personal Finance for Dummies.” “Classes in money management are now making their way into the curriculum at more schools, from elementary through college. But most people have never had a course in the subject and are clueless on the basics,” he says. In fact, Tyson, a former financial planner, says he’s met many highly educated people who lack even the most fundamental know-how on personal finance. Nevertheless, for most people strong money management skills, along with a solid savings plan, are necessary prerequisites to buying a first home. Here are five financial practices that

could help you gain membership in the homeownership club: • Stop shopping for entertainment. Ever since the economy slid downward in 2008, many Americans have SMART MOVES fought a strong cultural Ellen tendency to shop for fun, Martin which often results in ■■■ overspending and a buildup of personal debt. “Twenty years ago, frugal living fell out of favor. Yet now, frugality is becoming chic again,” she says. Even so, it’s tough for people to retreat from overspending if they make frequent shopping trips. “The term ‘retail therapy’ is widely used by people to mean they view shopping as a mood booster. But, obviously, this can be a very expensive mood booster,” Detweiler says. Some people can spend a full Saturday at a mall without spending a dime. But most people find it difficult to resist the allure of attractive merchandise. They’re better off finding new hobbies outside of shopping, so their discretionary money can go for a larger goal, like homeownership, rather than a lesser one, like ownership of a fancy new handbag. “To stop recreational shopping, the best thing is to come up with a list of alternative activities ahead of time,” Detweiler says, such as having friends over.

• Monitor your accounts regularly. If you use debit cards rather than checks to make most purchases and fail to track your account balance, you could end up paying sizeable overdraft fees if your balance drops too low. To avoid this potentially costly scenario, Detweiler urges you to monitor your checking account activity at least once a week, via the Internet. Also, she says that anyone who uses credit cards routinely should also track their activity in these accounts regularly. • Reach out for money management help. Many financial planners aren’t set up to do budget counseling for middle-income people. The majority assist those who have already amassed significant wealth. However, Detweiler says wannabe homeowners have access to very lowpriced or even free financial counseling through nonprofit housing counseling services. And she urges them to take advantage of this option. “From these sources, you can often find great pre- purchase educational seminars or one-on-one budget assistance that should help you reach your goal,” Detweiler says. To find housing counseling services in your area, she recommends you visit the Web site of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (www.hud.gov). Or call HUD’s toll-free housing referral hotline: 800-569-4287. • Cut back on fine dining. Obviously, overspending in any

category could impair your plans to make a first home purchase. But one very common and especially expensive pitfall for many involves eating out. Your savings plan probably won’t sink under the weight of a few fast food meals, Detweiler says. But eat out several times a month at expensive restaurants and you can easily put a major dent into your home-buying plans. • Plan your purchases in advance. Once upon a time, before the baby boomer era, many people used the “envelope system” to allocate money. For instance, as soon as they bought a new car, they started tucking away bills toward the purchase of their next car. This envelope system was a prudent money-saving strategy because it helped ensure that priority items (such as food or housing costs) were covered. Also, it increased the odds that money would be available when needed to make big ticket purchases. A few people still use the envelope system to allocate money. But you can also achieve your savings objectives by making automatic withdrawals from your paycheck to your savings account on a regular basis, Detweiler says. “When you plan ahead and save, whether for a house or a car, you gain a lot of control over your spending priorities. This can make an immeasurable difference to your financial future,” she says. To contact Ellen James Martin, e-mail her at ellenjamesmartin gmail.com.

Beazer Homes posts $48 million profit for first quarter ALEX VEIGA AP REAL ESTATE WRITER

Homebuyers spurred by low interest rates and government incentives helped lift Beazer Homes USA Inc.’s sales in the last three months of 2009, but the builder only turned a profit because of a hefty tax gain.

Management said this week it expects to reel in more home shoppers this year, but stopped short of forecasting a profitable year. “We want to see how the market comes out,” said Ian McCarthy, Beazer’s president and CEO. Like other builders, the Atlan-

ta-based company saw orders pick up last summer thanks to low mortgage rates and a tax credit for homebuyers. But many industry experts question whether the fragile housing recovery will sputter once the tax credits – $8,000 for new buyers and $6,500 for current owners – expire at the end of April.

McCarthy argued sales may not necessarily slow at that point if home prices remain stable and unemployment declines. “Having said that, we are planning for a softer second half of the year, but hoping for something better,” McCarthy said.

For now, however, Beazer is benefiting from a surge in business that hasn’t let up. “Momentum has continued in January, so that is very, very positive,” he said. Beazer earned $48 million, or $1.17 a share, in its fiscal first quarter ended in December.
