RANDOLPH COUNTY – Voters in Randolph County on Tuesday decided the county’s sales tax will increase by a quarter-cent to help fund the capital needs of Randolph Community College. Of the 4,178 who cast ballots Tuesday, 54 percent voted for the sales tax referendum, according to unofficial results. The special election turned out about 5 percent of the county’s 85,605 registered voters. “I’m so appreciative of the people in the county who expressed their vote of confidence that we can help make a difference in these tough economic times,” Randolph Community College President Bob Shackleford said. “We are going to take this support, and we are going to use it to give back to the county. I’m just incredibly grateful because this is a very conservative county that does not easily raise taxes for anything.” Matt Trogdon, deputy

Authority touts Premarket registration, hotel rates BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Between cheaper hotel room rates and an increased number of pre-registered buyers for Premarket, the High Point Market Authority is expecting the spring furniture market to be one of the best markets in several years, officials said at the authority’s meeting Tuesday. Tammy Nagem, operations director for the authority, said guests attending the spring market would pay significantly lower hotel room rates this year, averaging $134 per night compared to $175 last year. “We’ve reduced the number of ho-

tels (that the authority works with), but we’ve increased the number of rooms available for our guests,” Nagem said at the meeting. “That gives us more leverage with room rates.” Brian Casey, president of the authority, said the organization is continuing to work with more hotels in the city. “We’re going back to the hotels and asking them to cut their rates even further,” he said. “Most (hotels) are going to realize that we’re trying to get more revenue to them in return, but we are expecting them to give back to marketgoers.” Nagem said the board is waiting to receive $600,000 from the N.C. DOT for transportation costs

at the spring market. She also announced that Leslie and Lee Keno of the “Antiques Roadshow” would be guest speakers at the press breakfast at the spring market, scheduled for April 17-22. The invitation-only Premarket event, which precedes the official furniture market, also is expected to be strong this spring, said Kevin O’Connor, chairman of the authority’s board of directors. “We’ve had a better pre-registration for Premarket than ever before,” he said. “When you talk to the majority of major (buyers) that come, they’ll tell you it’s critically important to the buying process.” As of Tuesday, 161 buyers repre-

senting 70 companies had pre-registered to attend the event, set for March 16-17. Those factors, coupled with other economic indicators, paint a bright picture of the spring market, Casey said. “There is a renewed emotional tie to High Point,” he said. “I think people are coming back to realize this is where the industry is and this is where the market is.” “I echo Brian’s feelings that the spring market is probably going to be the best in order writing and attendance that we’ve seen in a long time,” O’Connor added. phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

Event aims to hone job interviewing skills BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – When the timed-buzzer went off, Jamie Sparrow, dressed in professional attire with a résumé in hand, moved from one job interview to the next. While the hiring professionals who interviewed her weren’t looking to hire the recent college graduate, they were looking to give her advice on how to ace a job interview in a highly competitive job market. Sparrow was one of about 50 unemployed people to participate in the Triad Job Search Network’s speed interview workshop on Tuesday morning at Covenant Church United Methodist on Skeet Club Road. “I figured you don’t have

Dan Brassford of Sanford Rose Association talks with Lisa Taylor who has come to interview for a job. anything to lose by coming,” said Sparrow, who graduated from Appalachian State University in December. “It’s a great opportunity for networking and staying up to date on interview questions.” Participants at the free

event ranged from recent college graduates like Sparrow to laid-off factory workers and former senior-level managers seeking employment. Janie Robbins, a volunteer with the TJSN and an unemployed person looking for

work, organized the event to energize unemployed people in their job search, she said. “People are getting the actual experience here,” said Robbins, who’s worked in the business and education sectors. “We’ve got people with experience in accounting, information technology, teaching and human resources. Most every profession has been through here in this economic setting.” Dubravka Kisic, a former accountant, said she had been looking for a job in the city for seven months after relocating from New Mexico with her husband. She said the speed interview workshops can teach a job-seeker how to answer some difficult questions from a potential employer. “Sometimes they ask you why you are looking for a

job or why you were laid off from another job. That can be a hard question to answer,” she said. “They give you good feedback on how to answer questions like that.” The volunteers who organized the event all are unemployed, Robbins said, and putting the workshop together gives them an opportunity to use their skills. The event also gets people out of the house and into a social network setting, furthering their chances to get a job, she said. “There are a lot of people who sit at home and wait for a job to come to them or who get discouraged with searching,” she said. “The people who are here are the ones that still have hope.” phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

Trinity Council waters down truck-parking ban Given that the Trinity City Council unanimously approved the truck-parking ordinance last August, the subsequent meanderings of City Council members might seem difficult to understand. The latest development is a proposal to establish a special permit system for truck drivers who want to park their trucks in Trinity. As far as I can understand it, the idea is to find a way around the parking ban ordinance in order to placate the truck drivers. An objective observer might feel prompted to inquire as to why Trinity City Council is trying to accommodate the truck drivers who, after all, represent their own special interest and not the interests of the majority. Well, the answer is that the truck drivers are doing a good job of making their case. They are turning up at council meetings and making their feelings of discontent about the ordinance known. They are committed and vocal. Trinity residents, on the other hand, appear to be neither. The proposal to establish a special permit for truck drivers amounts to a proposal to “grandfather” the ordinance. In other words, despite the fact that the ordinance was approved unanimously last August, all real truck drivers will remain unaffected by it – it will apply only to the

hypothetical truck drivers who might move into Trinity in the future (unless they prove to be as committed and vocal as the truck drivers who currently reside amongst us).

Dart makes recycling foam D easier o you buy a new big screen TV, and you really do hate throwing all that plastic foam packaging material into the garbage that’s headed for the landfill. Now, you have options. Take advantage of the Dart Container of North Carolina recycling center in Randleman. The company has opened a free drop-off site at 3219 Wesleyan Road where area residents, businesses and organizations can recycle polystyrene foam products – cups, plates, take-out containers, egg cartons and shaped and molded foam often used to package electronics and other goods – with No. 6 on them. Collection site hours are 8 a.m-8 p.m. Mondays through Fridays. Mid-Atlantic Municipal Solid Waste Web site estimates that each year Americans throw away 25 billion plastic foam cups, declaring that “even 500 years from now, the foam coffee cup you used this morning will be sitting in a landfill.” Several sites note that polystyrene foam products make up to 30 percent of the trash volume in landfills. And in 1986, the Environmental Protection Agency named the polystyrene manufacturing process as the fifthlargest creator of hazardous waste. Those are reasons to recycle polystyrene foam products rather than dumping them into landfills. Dart Container, which currently employs 282 in Randleman, compresses the polystyrene foam it collects into foam blocks that can be recycled to produce a wide variety of items, including picture frames and moldings. And Michael Westerfield, Dart corporate director of recycled programs, reports that “every new job collecting material, when it comes to recycling, generates 26 other jobs down the line.” It’s obviously a great idea for members of the public to pitch in and recycle polystyrene foam, but in most locations, even those with active recycling programs, the recycling of plastic foam products isn’t a high priority. Because of that, polystyrene foam products usually end up in a landfill somewhere. But Dart, which is a worldwide manufacturer of single-use, plastic foam food-service products, is being a responsible corporate citizen and making the recycling of plastic foam easier. Now, it’s up to the general public and cities and counties that run waste collection systems to take advantage of the opportunity.

Respect, friendship among nations fans Olympic flame

F

or nearly two weeks, amidst passionate patriotism and the heightened sense of unity which accompany the Olympic Games, American eyes also have been gazing in a direction most of us are unaccustomed to: outward. The official Web site of the Olympic movement describes its three core values as “Excellence, respect, and friendship,� the first of these being the most commonly recognized. Yet it is respect and friendship, usually confined to behind-the-scenes companionship between athletes, which has blossomed into the international atmosphere that made the 2010 Olympics a truly special event. One testament to the increased sense of respect among nations has been the immense amount of sympathy and sup-

port bestowed upon any athlete experiencing a difficult circumstance. Upon hearing the news of the death of luger Nodar TEEN VIEW Kumaritashvili, the world Leslie Ann seemed stricken Blake with a grief that â– â– â– it would not have felt weeks earlier, when this news would not have even been reported outside of Georgia. When the Georgians bravely entered the opening ceremonies, donning black armbands in his honor, they were received by a standing ovation. The gratitude the Georgians must have felt by the gestures

of the entire world was accented by the dedication of the opening ceremony to their fallen teammate. Throughout this year’s games, NBC (and surely other nations’ broadcasting companies), aired stories of hope and despair as the world observed its most dedicated and determined individuals vie for a chance to accomplish their dreams. Perhaps the most widely televised of all the athletes’ struggles was that of Joannie Rochette, who shocked the world when she performed a heartfelt medal-winning program just days after the sudden death of her mother. In an interview, Rochette stated that messages from people all around the world gave her “the strength to carry on and

t’s time to renew your car registration. You grab your checkbook, write a check, fill out your renewal form and mail it off to the DMV. A week or two later, you get a rude awakening: Your renewal was rejected. Sorry, no new sticker for you. And if like many people, you waited until the last minute, you may be driving an unregistered vehicle and will soon earn a ticket. Why? Because you forgot what many of us are forgetting: To get the car inspected first. It’s happening a lot. About 1,000 renewal applications are being rejected every work day, the Division of Motor Vehicles reports. That’s about one in every four applications. It’s because of the way the vehicle-inspection law changed in November 2008, doing away with windshield inspection stickers, with their builtin reminder, and requiring vehicles to be inspected in the month of their registration renewal. OK, not all of us are

bright lights, but when 25 percent of all vehicle owners are getting it wrong, we’ll put some of the onus on the state. A better education cam-

paign is in order, as is a better reminder system. Technology is supposed to make life easier, isn’t it? Let’s apply it to this problem and get it solved.

brant arts, sports and tourism. When the world’s heart-beat is this synchronized, there’s only one thing left to do: enjoy it. Of all the inspiring images and stories associated with this year’s games, the one which I find most endearing are the laughs exchanged in Coca-Cola’s commercial “Snowball.� In it, athletes from around the world engage in a Whistler-wide snowball fight, meant to stand for the snowballing effect Olympians’ friendships can have on their homelands. Above all else, it proves that the most universal language is the sound of camaraderie and an old-fashioned good time.

The Olympics bring out admirable qualities of all sorts, from the strong inter-continental friendship between Lindsey Vonn and Germany’s Maria Riesh, to the world’s prompt and sympathetic reaction when disaster hit Chile Saturday morning. There is even an ancient pact called the Olympic Truce, officially supported by the UN, calling for an international hiatus of all hostilities during the time of the games, which many participating nations have faithfully upheld.

City Project progresses BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Representatives of the City Project – the nonprofit organization working to promote growth and revitalization of the city’s 11square-mile urban core – on Tuesday gave city officials and council members an update on their work. Much of the group’s focus has been on the N. Main Street corridor between Ray and State avenues – dubbed Uptowne High Point – with the goal of transforming that area into a mixed-use neighborhood combining resi-

dential uses with retail and other businesses. “The monies you’ve expended so far have been very helpful in getting us to where we are now,” Aaron Clinard, City Project board chairman, told the group. “The Uptowne area is making progress. There’s already a synergy of businesses and restaurants there.” The group plans to unveil banners highlighting the Uptowne area on Thursday and has lined up a second series of “Beach Blast” outdoor concerts, which were a “great success” last fall, Clinard said. He suggested extending the

city’s Christmas parade route farther north along N. Main to take in the Uptowne area and said the group is seeking matching funds to make use of a $40,000 grant from the N.C. Department of Transportation for street furniture and landscaping on a portion of N. Main, as well as incentives to complement a small-business loan pool for investors. Clinard also updated city officials on the group’s work in the S. Main Street area near Guilford Technical Community College’s High Point campus, where a group that includes business owners and the college has

been organized and work is ongoing in seeking synergies with GTCC. In the showroom district downtown, the group has been meeting with property owners and others with interests in the area, and Clinard reported that progress had been made on bringing a possible Starbuck’s coffee shop location to the High Point Depot, which could spur development in surrounding properties. The last area of focus Clinard updated the group on is the Washington Drive corridor, where streetscape projects and historic district tax

credits are possible avenues of revitalization that could be pursued. He said the prospects for measures like these would depend on the outcome of a crime-fighting strategy undertaken by police in the neighborhood. “Until it’s safe for my wife, your wife, your husband, your kids to walk down the streets at night, there aren’t going to be many developers interested in coming in and spending money,” Clinard said. “As soon as (the anti-crime) effort succeeds, we’ll start doing some other things.” pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

Board mulls grant for shopping center

Vivian Barnette, director of the counseling center at North Carolina A&T State University, recently participated in a seminar for NFL athletes in conjunction with Priority Sports and Entertainment. Priority Sports hosted a Preparing for Life After football Now seminar for 16 NFL athletes. The purpose of the seminar was to educate the athletes on several areas that can be career options and provide them with support in areas that affect their lives mostly off the field.

GUILFORD COUNTY – County officials will consider Thursday a business incentive grant under a new program approved last year. The Guilford County Board of Commissioners will hold a public hearing during a 5:30 p.m. meeting at the Old Courthouse in Greensboro to consider a three-year $124,000 incentive linked to a $5.6 million investment in a new Greensboro shopping center. Republican Commissioner Steve Arnold of High Point sponsored the program last year to help small businesses that could not qualify for jobcreation incentives offered to large businesses. He also lobbied commissioners to approve $1.3 million for the program. Commissioners approved the program Oct. 1, 2009 on a 8-3 vote following some legal wrangling to avoid the appearance of tax rebates, which are illegal in North Carolina. Most local governments offer land, roads, utility connections and other infrastructure support as economic development incentives, but few offer small businesses incentives assistance. While the county’s industrial incentives plan is aimed at job creation, the small business incentive plan offers a break based on a percentage formula linked to the improved tax base increase over three years. The shopping center renovation would create 164 jobs full-time jobs, according to the request. Business owners must invest a minimum of $10,000 for real property improvements to receive grants over three years. Granite Church Street LLC has land valued at $1.7 million, according to county records. The new shopping center at 5820-28 Church Street would include a 42,000-square-foot Lowes Food grocery. The investment grant for each of the three years is estimated at 0.7 percent of the actual increase in county property tax base over the amount of the property tax base prior to the improvements.

Archdale weathers revenue loss BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

ARCHDALE – Archdale officials say the city is in good financial condition, despite facing a sales tax revenue shortfall of more than $100,000. Lori Nurse, Archdale’s finance director, presented the City Council with a financial update during the annual retreat last week. Although the city is projected to receive less in sales tax revenue, Archdale officials have budgeted for several capital items for the 2010-11 fiscal year

– an indicator that the city is not in bad financial shape, according to Nurse. She credits cuts made last year by officials for the city’s current financial condition. “We did a lot of cuts last year just because of the economy,” Nurse said. “We just trimmed everything.” Currently, the city has $2.4 million its general fund, with a portion of that amount budgeted for several maintenance projects, including include roof maintenance at the Archdale Police Department and improvements to Creekside Park’s entrance, Nurse said.

The city also is expected to receive about $30,000 less in Powell Bill funds, which are gas tax dollars. Nurse said the city had previously budgeted for that shortfall. Despite the possibility of receiving less Powell Bill funds, which can be used for road improvements, the city is budgeting $335,000 for resurfacing projects. City officials also are considering hiring some employees, including an information technology director, a park ranger and a public information officer. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

David Bowman officiating. Burial will follow in the church cemetery. The family will receive friends from 6 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, March 3, 2010, at Davidson Funeral Home and other times at the home. Lucy led an extraordinary life, a life of service. Born on July 11, 1915, to Zeola Anderson Lopp and Furman Lopp. She graduated from Lexington High School, and attended Greenville Woman’s College (Furman University) in South Carolina with a scholarship and by working in the college infirmary. The infirmary nurse encouraged Lucy to apply to enter Duke University Nursing School. She was accepted at Duke and graduated in 1937. Later, she would earn graduate degrees in public health at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. After working as a nurse at Duke Hospital she accepted a job at the Crippled Children’s Division, State Board of Health. Her work took her to Eastern North Carolina counties where she helped conduct crippled children’s clinics. Many of the children seen in the clinics were victims of polio. In the summer of 1945, she joined other medical workers in providing care for polio patients in a special hospital in Hickory. Lucy also worked as a public health nurse in Cabarrus County moving to a supervisory position in the Guilford County public health department in 1949. She would stay with them until her retirement as administrator in 1986. A conference room in the health department was named in her honor. Lucy earned many prestigious awards in her career, including the 1977 public health nursing award given by the State Public Health Association for commitment to quality nursing service in public health and for leadership in the community. A tireless worker at Liberty Baptist Church, Thomasville, Lucy served in many capacities such as Building Committee, Finance Committee, Sunday School teacher, WMU Director and youth leader. Perhaps, her most outstanding work was as church historian and as teacher of young people which she continued until her death. In 2008, there was a celebration of her life at Liberty Baptist Church and a dedication of the Hall of History, designed, assembled, and financed by Lucy. The theme “From Pine Logs to Animated Beams� was taken from the church history book she wrote, “Liberty Lights.� She is survived by a sister, Doris and by many loving cousins, former coworkers in public health, and by Sunday school class members whom she loved and mentored.

Detectives also seized $14,246 in U.S. currency.

Man tells little white lie about the little blue pill

D

ear Abby: I am a 76-year-old man who is romantically involved with a 65year-old lady. She knows I take Viagra. I recently had to go out of town for a week. Before I left, she demanded that I give her my bottle of Viagra. She said she would return it as soon as I got back. What I did not tell my lady friend is that I don’t always need Viagra to “perform.” Should I remain silent and let her believe that without the little blue pill I’ll be forced to remain faithful? Honesty is the best long-term policy, but is there a limit to just “how” honest one should be? – A Vital Man in Arkansas Dear Vital Man: In this case, keep your own counsel. If you tell your lady friend you don’t always “need” Viagra, she may start wondering why you always need it with her and find the implication insulting. Dear Abby: As a child, it was painfully obvious that my mother favored my brother, “Clint,” over me. Everything he did was considered perfect and was bragged about. Because I was a girl, I was expected to step and fetch for him. To this day, my opinions hold no weight against those of my brother. I have always been hurt by this,

but I have lived with it. Clint moved 3,000 miles away years ago. I am the ADVICE one caring for Mom, Dear although Abby Clint ■■■ contributes financial assistance. When he and his family came to visit for a week, my daughter asked me why Grandma respects and is prouder of Clint’s children – all boys – than of her. Grandma is proud that one of the boys knows about computers, but my daughter has BUILT computers. Grandma is proud because one of the boys is studying piano. My daughter has played flute for 10 years. Grandma brags about another of the boys’ ability at rowing, but never about my daughter’s achievements in academics. How do I keep my daughter from feeling resentful, and what should I tell her? – Less Valued in Greenville, S.C. Dear Less Valued: Tell your daughter the truth – that your mother always favored your brother, and that this is just more of the same. Tell her that she is a terrific daughter and that YOU are proud of her. And explain that there

is no pleasing Grandma, which is why she should keep her distance.

RALEIGH – Wake County Schools Superintendent Del Burns kept his job Tuesday, but board members may address his status again before his previously announced

Dear Abby: My husband’s aunt was gorgeous when she was young. At 90, obviously her appearance has changed. After many illnesses, her looks have faded. When she shows me pictures of herself in her youth, it’s obvious she wants a response, but “you were beautiful” seems cruel, pointing out that she is no longer. To pretend she still is would be disingenuous. I have been in this situation with other elderly people. What is a complimentary and sincere comment at these times? – Realist in Northern California Dear Realist: Your aunt is reminded of the fact that she’s no longer in the full bloom of youth every time she brushes her teeth in front of the mirror. So why not give her the compliment she deserves? Say, “Auntie, you were drop-dead gorgeous! I’m sure you stopped traffic.” If you do, I’m willing to bet she has a few stories to tell you about when she did exactly that.

ear Dr. Donohue: My wife chokes quite a lot when she eats or drinks. This started a few months ago. There are times I nearly start to do a Heimlich maneuver on her. It really scares me, and I know it does her, too. Could it be a nerve problem? – A.C.

BLONDIE

People with a swallowing problem are not imagining the problem, and have little to no control over it. Rarely does it get better on its own. Swallowing takes place almost automatically, with no thought given to it. However, it is a complicated process. First, the tongue has to push food to the back of the mouth. The swallowing muscles of the throat are then activated, and they propel food into the swallowing tube, the esophagus. It has a muscular wall that forces food down and into the stomach. Things can go wrong at any stage of this process. Tumors can obstruct food and drink. Calcium spurs originating from the backbones can press on the throat and esophagus to put a halt to the downward progression of food. Webs of tissue can cause food to hang up. Nerves involved in controlling the swallowing muscles can go on the blink. Your wife must see a doctor. The doctor can order a barium X-ray, taken when she swallows. Barium is an opaque material that outlines the throat and esophagus. Or the doctor can look directly into her throat

White sale Rotary Club presents fundraiser featuring items we all use DON DAVIS JR. | HPE

Tammie Grisso and Jim Gayle, of the Rotary Club of the Triad, show some of the paper products the club is selling through March 12 in its White Sale fundraiser. BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

INTERESTED?

----

The Rotary Club of the Triad’s “white sale” – featuring bathroom tissue, paper towels/hand towels, facial tissue, Styrofoam cups and trash bags – will continue through March 12. Orders will be delivered April 1, 2 and 3. Orders can be placed through club members or online at www.triadrotary club.org. Payment can be made via cash, check, Visa or MasterCard. For more information, call 885-3435. If no answer, leave a message about why you’re calling, and your call will be returned.

IGH POINT – This is no ordinary white sale. For starters, the only sheets for sale in this white sale are sheets of toilet paper. And second, the proceeds won’t go to a retail store, but instead will go to the Rotary Club of the Triad, which plans to put the money to good use in the community. “It’s not often that you can purchase toilet paper and still make a difference in your community,” says club president Steve Farabee. Club members borrowed the fundraising idea from a Rotary club in Wilson. “We had been looking around for a fundraiser idea, but in today’s economy, it’s pretty tough to find something people will support,” says Jim Gayle, co-chairman of the fundraiser. “But we thought the ‘white sale’ idea might work.” Here’s how it works: The club is selling a variety of white products – bathroom tissue, paper towels and hand towels (which are actually brown, but you get the idea),

facial tissue, Styrofoam cups and trash bags. The selections, which can be found on the club’s Web site (www.triadrotaryclub.org), include five types of bathroom tissue, three paper towel options and two hand towel options, two brands of facial tissue, two different sizes of trash bags, and 20-ounce Styrofoam cups. The idea is that you buy the products in bulk – at a significant cost savings, and, because it’s a fundraiser, without having to pay sales tax – and proceeds go to the club. The products will be sold to individuals or to businesses, Gayle says. The sale began in mid-February, and the cutoff date for ordering products is March 12. Rotarians will deliver the orders on April 1, 2 and 3. According to Gayle, proceeds from the white sale will benefit the greater High Point community. “What we’re trying to do is generate significant funds to be able to give back to the community,” he says. “In our charter, that’s what Rotary Clubs are all about.” A large chunk of the funds, for ex-

ample, will be dedicated to autism programs in the public schools, Gayle says. “We’ve found that more and more kids who are going through the public schools have some form of autism,” he says. “But a lot of schools are cutting programs rather than adding to them, and we felt like this was something we as a club could do to make a difference in a child’s life.” Other club projects that will benefit from the fundraiser include: • Seniors’ Day in the Park, an annual event for area senior citizens. • Rotary scholarships of $500 or $1,000 per student. • Sponsoring meal packets for Stop Hunger Now, an international hunger relief agency that delivers meal packets throughout the world in crisis situations, such as the recent earthquakes in Haiti and Chile. • Other traditional Rotary charities such as Hospice of the Piedmont, D.A.R.E. of Randolph County, Crimestoppers of High Point, and Mobile Meals of High Point. jtomlin@hpe.com | 888-3579

Biltmore to display rare 1913 auto ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

A

SHEVILLE – A rare 1913 Stevens-Duryea Model “C-Six” seven-passenger touring car will be placed on display for the first time beginning May 20 in Biltmore Estate’s new Antler Hill Village. The car is one of 10 motor vehicles on the estate that was registered in North Carolina in June 1916, and the only one purchased by George Vanderbilt that remains in The Biltmore Co.’s collection. This particular model is believed to be one of only 10 known existing in the world today. Conservation work is under way on the car, which will be on exhibit in a closed, climate-controlled space just outside Biltmore Winery in the new Antler Hill Village.

The undercarriage and mechanical components of the

car will be conserved by B.R. Howard & Associates of Carlisle, Pa., a team that specializes in historic transportation objects. “We are thrilled about the opportunity to work on such a rare automobile and bring another piece of Biltmore’s rich history and collection into view,” said chief conservator Nancy Rosebrock. “This car represents a great deal of history about the interests of the Vanderbilt family.” The vehicle was actually driven periodically by different members of the family until the 1970s. According to Rosebrock, stabilization of aged areas and deteriorated materials will be the first priority, followed by the cleaning of every surface, repair of damaged areas and protection of the components from further deterioration. Archival letters indicate that George and Edith Vanderbilt

were first exposed to automobile travel in the early 1900s. George Vanderbilt purchased several vehicles before the eventual purchase of the 1913 Stevens-Duryea Model “C-Six.” On May 21, 1913, Chauncey Beadle, estate superintendent, wrote to Vanderbilt, who was vacationing in Paris: “Your new Stevens-Duryea car has arrived and Mr. T. Lamar Jackson of Washington came here to demonstrate the car and explain its features to Raymond. It is a beauty and I am sure that you will not only like it, but that it embodies practically the last word in motor-car construction. Raymond is anxious to practice with the car on a few occasions before your home-coming in order to familiarize himself with the changed conditions of mechanism, otherwise your car will not be used.”

Wednesday, March 3, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Jessica Biel, 28; Julie Bowen, 40; Jackie Joyner-Kersee, 48; Herschel Walker, 48 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Partnerships will be important this year. Your ability to speak from the heart will put you in a key position. This is a year of great opportunity if you follow through. Changes at home will affect the way you proceed in your professional life. A move or change of scenery will help you establish your future achievements. Your numbers are 3, 10, 12, 22, 28, 37, 42 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Dig deep and find out all you can about anyone with whom you want to partner. The amount of time and effort you put in will be recognized and rewarded. Take action instead of waiting for someone else. ★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Offer a helping hand. An unusual approach to the way you do things will generate interest in you, personally and professionally. Love is in the stars but don’t get involved with someone who is not available. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Getting involved in a group or with an organization will not be in your best interest and can lead to a costly venture. Put your efforts into your own creative ideas. Meddling will be a waste of value time. ★★★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): A change of scenery will do you good. A romantic adventure will open your mind and heart to new possibilities. Make sure you have taken care of unfinished business that you have with someone else. ★★★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Use your imagination coupled with your intuition when dealing with investments, renovations or any financial changes. Expect someone to put pressure on you regarding a change at work. Travel if it will help you close a deal. ★★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Love is on the rise and a unique situation can bring about sudden changes to your lifestyle or living arrangements. Take another look at an old idea and you will figure out a way to make it successful. Entertain at home. ★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Take one of your talents to the next level. Present what you have to offer with determination and confidence. An opportunity to make a difference to someone in need will strengthen your reputation and help you gain recognition. ★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Do not take no for an answer and you will discover how easy it is to get others to do things for you. Love is in the stars and an interesting conversation will enable you to pose a question you have been reluctant to ask in the past. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Be careful what you say and do. If you have been holding back or refusing to be upfront and honest, someone will force you to confess, leaving you in a vulnerable position. Don’t make promises you don’t plan to keep. ★★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Keep life simple. Don’t travel or attend events that may pose a threat to your well- being. Emotional upset can be expected. Before responding to the information you receive, take time to contemplate. ★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): There is money to be made if you expand an idea you have, turning it into a service that is in demand. Take care of legal and financial matters so that nothing stands in your way. Preparation will be the key to your success. ★★★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You can manipulate any situation you face with your charm and ability to make everyone feel important. A love relationship will be under the spotlight and can lead to a new and very different lifestyle. Confidence and drive will help you get your way. ★★★

“Give a woman an inch,” I asked Cy the Cynic, “and what’ll she do?” “Redecorate it, probably,” Cy replied gloomily. “Give a pessimist an inch ...” I went on. “And he’ll measure it,” the Cynic shrugged. When you’re declarer, a little pessimism is fine. Accept the possibility of bad breaks and allow for them. At 3NT, South took the queen of hearts and saw 10 easy tricks. He led a spade to the jack and continued with the ten. West won and shifted to a diamond: deuce, king, ace. NO ENTRIES South then took the K-Q of spades and led a club to the king, preparing to run the clubs. Alas, West discarded, and since South had no more dummy entries, he couldn’t pick up East’s clubs and took only eight tricks. In case of a 4-0 club break (possible on the bidding), South must be a pessimist and lead a club to the king at Trick Two. He returns a club – jack, queen – leads a spade to the jack, picks up the clubs and forces out the ace of spades to assure an overtrick.

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S K Q 3 2 H Q 2 D A 8 C A Q 9 5 3. You open one club, your partner responds one heart, you bid one spade and he jumps to three hearts. What do you say? ANSWER: Partner’s jump in his own suit is invitational to game, not forcing. He has six good hearts and about 10 high-card points. Slam is possible but against the odds, hence raise to four hearts. The alternative, an “advance cue bid” of four diamonds, would be a stretch. East dealer Neither side vulnerable

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

Nuts, where’s my acorn? An acorn woodpecker dangles from a tree as it looks for food in Los Altos, Calif. Unlike other woodpeckers that look for tasty insects, he pecks holes that he uses to secure an acorn while he removes the shell and eats the insides. AP

Time runs out on HPU SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

ASHEVILLE – Sophomore Nick Barbour scored 21 points in the second half, but couldn’t lead a comeback as the High Point University men’s basketball team took an 84-73 loss to UNC Asheville in the quarterfinals of the Big South Tournament on Tuesday. The Panthers trailed by as many as 18 in the game but closed the gap to eight with just over seven minutes left. Barbour led all scorers with 25 points. “I want to thank my two seniors, Cruz Daniels and Eugene Harris – I certainly didn’t want their careers to end this way,” said HPU head coach Scott Cherry. “I want to thank them for everything they did for my family, High Point University and the community.

“As for the game itself, I credit UNC Asheville. They started fast and finished fast. My guys battled hard and gave it everything they had, we just didn’t make plays we needed to make. Shots didn’t fall numerous times when they were bouncing on the rim and on tipins. Eighteen-for-32 from the free throw line didn’t help, either.” UNC Asheville jumped to a 9-1 lead and led by as many as 17 in the first half. The Bulldogs finished the half on a 6-0 run to take a 36-20 lead in to the locker room. High Point got within six points when Tehran Cox hit a pair of free throws with 58 seconds to go but couldn’t get any closer. Barbour scored 13 of HPU’s final 18 points spanning the last 4:58. J.P. Primm led UNC Asheville

with 23 points. Sean Smith scored 20. HPU finished the season with a 15-15 record and went 10-8 in conference play in its first season under Cherry. It was a huge improvement from HPU’s 9-21, 4-14 campaign last year. “I’m extremely happy with this year and where the program is heading,” said Cherry. “I feel very good about the kids I have in the locker room, and I feel very fortunate for the opportunity to be a head coach and get to coach these kids.” UNC Asheville improved to 1515 with the win and advanced to the Big South Tournament semifinals against top-seed Coastal Carolina on Thursday.

other forgettable chapter to North Carolina’s miserable season. At one point, Scott scored 10 of his team’s 14 points, ending with a 3-pointer that cut the deficit to 58-55 with about 4 minutes left. Less than a minute later, Adrian Thomas hit a 3 that pulled Miami to within 59-58 with 3:31 left and put the home-standing crowd on edge. But Thompson hit a turnaround shot in the lane on the ensuing possession, while Ginyard came up with several key rebounds late and hit three free throws in the final 30 seconds to help seal the victory. Will Graves scored 16 points to lead the Tar Heels, while Ginyard (12 rebounds) waited until Senior Night to earn the first double-double of his fiveyear career. Freshman John Henson also had 12 rebounds, part of UNC’s 51-27 rebounding advantage. At the least, the Tar Heels – who know their NCAA tournament chances are likely down to an improbable run through next week’s ACC tournament – earned another dash of confidence heading into this weekend’s finale at fourth-ranked Duke. North Carolina had lost 10 of 12 before Saturday’s 77-68 win against the Demon Deacons.

championship. Marshall was 19483 and won seven championships in nine seasons at Winthrop. Ron Brady, who started the season No. 2 SPORTS on the win list, was 193-124 in 11 Greer seasons at Radford. Smith Biedenbach’s 217 ■■■ losses are also a record. “Partially, the reason we’ve won more than anyone else is because I’ve been here longer than anyone else,” Biedenbach said. “Gregg Marshall did the best job in the league. The percentage of wins and the run he had winning the league as many times as he did, he did the best job. I’ve been fortunate enough to stay longer than other people in the league.”

AP

North Carolina’s Marcus Ginyard drives against Miami’s James Dews (23) in the first half of Tuesday night’s ACC game in Chapel Hill.

Biedenbach said he still enjoys coaching. “I’ll keep doing it as long as I’m having fun,” Biedenbach said. “I love basketball. I love practice as well as the game. I like working with young people. We have a fantastic group here at UNC Asheville. We haven’t won as much as I would have liked to have won, but I’ve had a great group of guys to work with.” Biedenbach at first hedged when asked if he will return and then said, “I’ll be back.”

HEALING COACH VMI coach Duggar Baucom directed his team with a bit of a handicap for part of the season. He broke his hand just before Christmas. “It healed up real well,” Baucom said. “It’s not a big deal anymore.”

NUMBERS GAME Nick Barbour was the only player from High Point University to finish atop a statistical category. Barbour ranked best in 3-point shooting at 40.5 percent. Cruz Daniels just missed in blocked shot per game with 2.59 as he finished behind John Williams of Asheville, who averaged 2.79. Barbour was third in scoring. Other final regular season leaders in the league included player of the year Art Parakhouski of Radford in scoring (21.6 per game) and rebounds (13.2 per game), Amir Johnson of Radford in assists with 5.74 per game, Austin Kenon of VMI in free-throw percentage at .840, and Kelvin Martin of Charleston Southern in steals with 2.21 per game. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

HIT AND RUN

T

he Atlantic Coast Conference regularseason championship picture either gets a whole lot clearer or a whole lot fuzzier after tonight. First-place Duke visits second-place Maryland (9 p.m., ESPN) in what shapes up as the can’t-miss, five-star game of the year so far in the ACC. Duke carries an eight-game winning streak into the fray, while Maryland has won five in a row and seven of eight. It’s as simple as this. The Blue Devils (25-4, 12-2) clinch the regular-season crown and the top seed in the upcoming ACC Tournament

with a win in College Park. Duke owns a one-game lead with two conference games to play. A win makes that a two-game edge with one game to play. If the Blue Devils lose, the Terrapins (21-7, 11-3) force a first-place tie. That would complicate things considerably. Duke plays host to North Carolina on Saturday night, while Maryland goes to Virginia. If the Blue Devils and Terps remain deadlocked after those games, we go to the tiebreakers.

Head-to-head won’t settle things, because Duke took the first meeting in Durham. It could come down to how Duke and Maryland fared against the third-place finisher, then fourth-place finisher and so on. Of course, with four teams (Virginia Tech, Clemson, Florida State and Wake Forest) tied for third place entering Tuesday’s action, we really won’t know much about the tiebreakers until after the regular-season smoke clears. Stay tuned.

Biedenbach reigns as Big South’s winningest coach leaning out the Big South notebook as the men’s basketball tournament gets in gear: UNC Asheville coach Eddie Biedenbach went into the week with a new adjective he could put beside his name – winningest coach in Big South history. When the Bulldogs defeated Gardner-Webb Saturday, Biedenbach picked up win No. 195 to go one ahead of former Winthrop coach Gregg Marshall. Biedenbach, a two-time all-ACC guard at N.C. State in the 1960s who is coming to the close of his 14th season directing UNCA, was quick to point out longevity played a big part in his accomplishment. Heading into Tuesday night’s first-round tournament game against High Point, Biedenbach sat at 195-217 with one Big South

QUARTERFINALS TUESDAY’S RESULTS

Tar Heels hit 2,000 CHAPEL HILL (AP) – Deon Thompson scored 14 points in his final home game to help North Carolina hold off Miami 69-62 on Tuesday night and become just the second team in NCAA history with 2,000 victories. Fellow senior Marcus Ginyard added 12 points as the Tar Heels (1614, 5-10 Atlantic Coast Conference) won consecutive games for the first time in 2010. Coming off a surprise win at Wake Forest, North Carolina got off to a fast start against the Hurricanes then used a 13-0 first-half run to go ahead for good. Hitting the 2,000-win mark provided an achievement in an otherwise frustrating centennial season for North Carolina, though Kentucky already reached that milestone in December. Second-ranked Kansas is just behind with 1,997 victories heading into Wednesday’s game against No. 5 Kansas State. Still, the Hurricanes (18-11, 4-11) made the Tar Heels work for it. Miami cut an 18-point deficit all the way down to one in the final 31⁄2 minutes, but couldn’t push ahead. Freshman Durand Scott scored a season-high 29 points to lead Miami, which struggled with its shot all night before nearly adding an-

Cleveland Cavaliers center Shaquille O’Neal had surgery on his injured right thumb Monday and seems likely to miss the rest of the regular season. If he gets back for the playoffs, though, O’Neal is promising to make up for his time out. O’Neal will miss about eight weeks, the team said. He was examined Sunday by specialist Dr. Thomas Graham at the National Hand Center in Baltimore, who performed the surgery Monday morning. The recovery timeline means O’Neal, who turns 38 on Saturday, may not be ready for the start of the playoffs April 17. The Cavaliers acquired him last summer with an eye toward the postseason, after Dwight Howard and Orlando eliminated them in the Eastern Conference finals. O’Neal has played well for the Cavaliers, averaging 12 points and 6.7 rebounds in 53 games.

N.C. State’s Kastanek named ACC’s top rookie GREENSBORO (AP) — North Carolina State’s Marissa Kastanek is the Atlantic Coast Conference’s freshman of the year. The ACC on Tuesday named Kastanek as the league’s top newcomer after a vote of 42 media members and league coaches. She’s the third N.C. State player to win the award and the first since Katie Smrcka-Duffy in 1997. Kastanek averaged 10.7 points, shot nearly 40 percent from the field and hit 35 percent of her 3-pointers in helping the Wolfpack win four of five to end the season and capture the No. 6 seed in this week’s ACC tournament. Joining Kastanek on the all-freshman team are Duke’s Allison Vernerey, Florida State’s Chastity Clayton, Maryland’s Diandra Tchatchouang and Wake Forest’s Sandra Garcia. Vernerey is the first Duke player to make the all-freshman team since Abby Waner in 2006, while Garcia is the first player from Wake Forest to make the team since Mekia Valentine in 2007.

Pro Bowl to be played before Super Bowl

HONOLULU (AP) — The Pro Bowl will be played before the Super Bowl when it returns to Honolulu next year. The Hawaii Tourism Authority and the NFL announced Tuesday that the game will be played at Aloha Stadium on Jan. 30, the Sunday before the Super Bowl. The Pro Bowl had historically been played in Honolulu the week after the Super Bowl, but was changed when the all-star game moved to Miami this year. The NFL says playing the

Pro Bowl before the big game generated more excitement and interest and was a good kick off to Super Bowl week. Hawaii is paying $4 million per game to host the Pro Bowl in 2011 and ’12.

Baker named to A-Sun All-Freshman team SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

AP FILE

Tonight’s Duke at Maryland game is more than a first-place showdown in the ACC. While the Blue Devils lead the Terrapins by one game in the standings, the contest also features the two leading candidates for ACC player of the year. Duke’s Jon Scheyer (left) and Maryland’s Greivis Vasquez are both enjoying terrific senior seasons. The winner of tonight’s game could determine which player earns the league’s top individual honor as well.

Scheyer, Vasquez share spotlight BY BRYAN STRICKLAND ENTERPRISE DURHAM BUREAU

DURHAM – Duke senior Jon Scheyer said he hasn’t thought about the impact tonight’s game against Greivis Vasquez and Maryland could have on ACC player of the year voting. “That won’t be in my mind,” Scheyer said. It may, however, be on the minds of some voters. Given their individual success and their teams’ success, Scheyer and Vasquez appear to be the leading candidates for the honor, which will be awarded before next week’s ACC Tournament. The senior guards sport similar numbers, so the final numbers on the scoreboard tonight could be used as a tiebreaker by some voters. In this campaign, the opposing coaches don’t mind praising the competition. “Scheyer is like an old-time guard

to me,” Maryland coach Gary Williams said. “He does everything – handling the ball, shooting the ball, playing defense. “It’s not like he’s a specialist in any area, but that’s what makes him so tough. He does all those things and does them at a high level for almost 40 minutes every game. Any time you have a player like that, it’s almost like having more than one player on the court.” Williams should know, because that’s much the same impact that Vasquez imparts. “Greivis is a sensational player. He’s so talented and has a tremendous impact on the game,” Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “When coaches talk about kids who have energy, who have a ‘motor’ that’s always on – he has talent and a great motor. You have to love that about the kid. “I admire him. I really like him a lot. He’s had a great, great year and an amazing career at Maryland

– one of the best anybody has ever had at that great, great school.” If ACC player of the year was about career achievement, Vasquez would be hard to beat. Recently, he became the first player in ACC history to accumulate 2,000 points, 700 assists and 600 rebounds. The award, however, is supposed to be about this season only, and that’s a tough call. Both rank in the top three in the ACC in scoring, 3pointers made and free throw percentage; both rank in the top four in assists and assist-to-turnover ratio. “I think they’re both great players,” Williams said. “It’s tough to measure sometimes or differentiate between the two.” In addition, tonight’s winning coach could be in prime position for ACC coach of the year. Their teams are guaranteed to finish 1-2 in the conference standings. Maryland was picked fifth in the preseason poll; Duke tied with North Carolina for the top spot.

Coastal sails into Big South semifinals THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CONWAY, S.C. – Chad Gray and Logan Johnson each scored 21 points to lead top-seeded Coastal Carolina to an 82-73 win over eighth-seeded Virginia Military Institute on Tuesday night in the quarterfinals of the Big South Conference tournament.

MACON, GA. – After leading Campbell in scoring and ranking second among Atlantic Sun freshmen in points per game, former T. Wingate Andrews star Tonisha Baker has been named to the league’s all-freshman team. “Tonisha is a player that has really made a difference in our program,” said Campbell head coach Wanda Watkins. “She brings a wealth of speed and athleticism and I am really proud of her. She’s continued to improve every day since we got her, and what’s great is that her best basketball is still ahead of her.” Baker, a guard, is averaging 9.1 points per game for the Lady Camels, and ranks third in the A-Sun in field goal percentage at .484 percent. The clip is also the best among A-Sun freshmen and all guards. Her 47 steals, 58 assists, 12 blocks and 25.2 minutes per game are second on the team. Baker is the only Lady Camel to start all 29 games this season. “She really was our most consistent player throughout the season, leading us in scoring,” said Watkins. “With Tonisha, we have so many more options; with her, our look has changed. With Tonisha and the rest of our freshman class, our future is very bright.” In her first season in Buies Creek, Baker has scored in double figures 12 times, leading the team in scoring on six occasions. Over the freshman’s first 10 A-Sun games, Baker averaged 10.7 points per game, a best among all league rookies at the time. Against Coastal Carolina and Jacksonville, Baker set season-highs of 17 points, while against USC Upstate and Stetson, the freshman pulled down a personal best seven rebounds. Baker is the eighth Lady Camel to garner allrookie honors, and the first since Letitia Dickson in 2005. Lady Camels

have made A - S u n postseason teams in 14 of the last 16 years, with the only excepBaker tions being 2004 and 2009. This season, Baker and the Lady Camels amassed the program’s most overall wins since 2001 (22), and A-Sun wins since 2006 (10), while piloting a team that tallied 70 or more points 11 times, and 80 points on four occasions. Those marks are program single-season highs since Campbell hit 70 points 15 times during the 2001 season and 80 points eight times that same year. Earning its highest Atlantic Sun Tournament seed since 2001, and its fourth-highest seed ever with the league, No. 3 Campbell will take on No. 6 Jacksonville on Thursday at 6:30 p.m. inside Mercer’s University Center in Macon, Ga. “Tonisha is a difference maker, and can be a program changer, and on top of all that, she is a delightful young lady,” added Watkins. “With all the ability that she has, she remains humble and is a joy to coach.” The Lady Camels, at 14-15 and 9-11 in A-Sun play, finished the season in a tie with Belmont (14-14, 9-11 A-Sun), but solidified the No. 3 position after the Bruins dropped a 57-56 contest to Kennesaw State (11-18, 8-12 A-Sun) on Saturday. Belmont fell to the No. 4 seed, while Kennesaw State earned a No. 5 seed with the win. East Tennessee State locked up the No. 1 seed with an 18-2 A-Sun record, going 20-8 overall. Mercer (14-15, 11-9 A-Sun), who the Lady Camels battled with for positioning over the final weeks of the regular season, finished No. 2. No. 7 North Florida (1019, 7-13 A-Sun) and No. 8 Stetson (6-23, 6-14 A-Sun) round out the tourney. The Atlantic Sun Tournament opens with two games today.

Saturday postal delivery in doubt WASHINGTON (AP) — The post office is renewing its effort to drop Saturday delivery — and plans a rate increase — in an effort to fend off a projected $7 billion loss this year. Without drastic action the agency could face a cumulative loss of $238 billion over ten years, Postmaster General John Potter said in releasing a series of consultant reports on agency operations and its outlook. “The projections going forward are not bright,” Potter told reporters in advance of Tuesday’s announcement. But, he added, “all is not lost ... we can right this ship.” As Americans turn more and more from paper to electronic communications, the number of items handled by

Greece to announce new measures ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Greece’s finance minister says the government will announce new austerity measures today and expects an ‘immediate’ assessment of the cuts from the European Union. An EU endorsement of the austerity measures could help calm jittery markets and bring down the cost of borrowing for Greece ahead of a planned bond sale.

US eyes brake safety measures WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray Lahood said his agency may recommend that all new vehicles come equipped with brakes that can override the gas pedal. The safety measure is designed to prevent cases of unintended acceleration that have been a huge problem for Toyota and the source of the recall of more than 8 million Toyota cars and trucks worldwide.

Ford sales jump, outsell GM DETROIT (AP) — Ford Motor Co. outsold General Motors Co. in February for the first time in more than a decade. Ford sold 334 more cars than GM in the U.S. It was the first time since August 1998 that Ford outsold GM. Ford’s said Tuesday its sales jumped 43 percent thanks to strong demand for its cars.

the post office fell from 213 billion in 2006 to 177 billion last year. Volume is expected to shrink to 150 billion by 2020. At the same time, the type of material sent is shifting from first-class mail to the less lucrative standard mail, such as advertising, Potter pointed out. And as people set up new homes and businesses, the number of places mail must be delivered is constantly increasing. The agency has asked Congress for permission to reduce delivery days and has previously discussed the need for other changes such as closing some offices. Cutting back Saturday home delivery, however, does not mean post offices would close that day.

There seemed to be concern on the part of Congress that officials had not looked at all possible options, Potter said, adding that was part of the reason for the three consultant studies. Potter said he would like to see mail delivery cut to fivedays-a-week starting next year. Later this month, he said, the Postal Service will ask the independent Postal Regulatory Commission to review its plans for the service reduction. Under the law, the agency is not supposed to raise rates more than the amount of inflation, but there is a loophole allowing for higher increases in extraordinary situations such as the current recession and drop in mail volume.

IBM lays off more workers MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

RALEIGH — Workers at IBM, one of Raleigh area’s biggest employers, got hit by another wave of layoffs Monday. The extent of the damage from this round is not clear, but those notified will swell the ranks of the jobless already well-represented by castoffs from Sony-Ericsson, Nortel Networks, Lenovo and others. The cuts affected IBM operations across the nation, according to a labor union trying to organize IBM’s workers. “It’s clear IBM is moving work offshore at a record rate,” said Lee Conrad, national field coordinator of Alliance@IBM. The union reported that IBM had cut more than

1,200 jobs in the U.S. and Canada as of Monday afternoon. Conrad said the total is likely to increase as more information is collected. Facing increasing competition, IBM has been cutting staff for years. The global technology giant employs an estimated 10,000 in Research Triangle Park. The New York-based company laid off about 10,400 people last year in North America, according to Alliance@ IBM. The cuts are paying dividends, at least on paper. Last year IBM reported a record profit of $13.4 billion, a 9 percent increase over the previous year. An IBM spokesman did not return calls. IBM provides no information about staff reductions as a matter of company policy.

Senate to review Toyota recalls WASHINGTON (AP) — Toyota Motor Corp. and federal regulators faced more questions from Congress Tuesday over the giant Japanese car company’s troubled safety record. “We know something has gone terribly wrong,” Senate Commerce Committee Chairman Jay Rockefeller said. Opening the third congressional hearing on Toyota’s problems in a week, the West Virginia Democrat said he intends to work on a legislative fix “to get at all of these issues in a real way.” Toyota drivers reported 52 deaths since 2000 linked to

cases of sudden unintended acceleration through the end of February, according to new figures released by the Transportation Department. Federal safety officials haven’t confirmed the link but have received a spike in complaints since Toyota began a series of big recalls in October. Previously, 34 deaths were blamed on the problem. Sen. Daniel Inouye Daniel, D-Hawaii, noted that not just Toyota cars have defects, but that other automakers also have been subject to millions of recalls.

Merger activity helps lift stocks NEW YORK (AP) – The stock market had its third straight winning day on signs that companies are becoming more optimistic about the economy. The Dow Jones industrial average edged up 2 points Tuesday but closed off its best levels. The Dow had managed to erase its losses for the year during trading but was down 22 points for 2010 by the close. Broader indexes pushed into the black for the year on Monday and extended their gains Tuesday. More merger activity and a plan by Qualcomm Inc. to buy back stock brought reassurance that business leaders expect the recovery to continue. The economy’s health had been in doubt in recent months after reports indicated the pace of improvement was slowing and as countries including Greece struggled with heavy debt loads. In deal news, CF Industries made a new offer for fertilizer maker Terra Industries, which last month agreed to be sold to Norway’s Yara for $4.1 billion. Dow Chemical Co. sold its Styron plastics business to private equity firm Bain Capital for $1.63 billion. Investors often see takeovers as signs of confidence in the economy. Meanwhile, Qualcomm said it would buy back $3 billion in stock and raise its dividend by 12 percent. Shares of the maker of wireless chips and other mobile technology rose 6.7 percent.

GMAC buyer pledges to keep division in Triad MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

WINSTON-SALEM – The sale of GMAC Insurance Personal Lines was completed today, with the new owner renewing its pledge to keep the division based in Winston-Salem. The deal was completed about 412⁄ months after it was announced on Oct. 19. The principal buyer is American Capital Acquisition Corp., a unit of American Capital Partners LLC of Hauppauge, N.Y. The overall cost of the deal was not disclosed. The deal includes a 25 percent investment in American Capital Acquisition by AmTrust Financial Services Inc. That investment is valued initially at $42.5 million over three years. AmTrust sells spe-

cialty-property and casualty-insurance products. American Capital said in a statement that GMAC’s consumer property and casualty insurance business “will continue normal daily operations as it identifies key development initiatives to advance its competitive position.” Larry Pentis was named as chief executive of the division. He joined GMAC from The Commerce Group. Pentis has spent most of his career working for AAA in San Francisco. American Capital officials could not be immediately reached for comment about their plans for the local work force. When the American Capital ownership bid was announced, GMAC said it had 905 local employees.

Senate nears agreement on consumer protection plan WASHINGTON (AP) – More than a year after Lehman Brothers’ collapse set off a financial panic, U.S. Senate negotiators are laboring to seal a deal over a consumer protection dispute holding up broad legislation to establish new rules for Wall Street. At issue is whether a government consumer watchdog should be free from bank regulators to write rules that govern

Key negotiators in the Senate Banking Committee are closing in on an agreement that would house a government consumer entity inside the Federal Reserve, the U.S. central bank known as the Fed, but give it autonomous power to write regulations, three people familiar with the talks told the Associated Press.

Justices may extend gun owner rights WASHINGTON (AP) – The Supreme Court suggested Tuesday it will strike down U.S. cities’ outright bans on handguns, a ruling that could establish a nationwide ownership right fervently sought by gun advocates. But the justices indicated less severe limits could survive, continuing disputes over the “right to keep and bear arms.” Chicago area residents who want handguns for

protection in their homes are asking the court to extend its 2008 decision in support of gun rights in Washington, D.C., to state and local laws. Such a ruling would firmly establish a right that has been the subject of politically charged debate for decades. But it also would ensure years of legal challenges to sort out exactly which restrictions may stand and which must fall.

Indeed, the outcome of the Washington lawsuit in 2008 already has spawned hundreds of court challenges, including one in Massachusetts over a state law requiring gun owners to lock weapons in their homes. Two years ago, the court announced that the Constitution’s Second Amendment protects an individual’s right to possess guns, at least for selfdefense in the home.

Obama open to adding GOP health ideas WASHINGTON (AP) – President Barack Obama said Tuesday that he was open to four new Republican proposals on health care legislation, a gesture of bipartisanship meant to jumpstart his stalled drive to overhaul the system. Obama detailed the ideas, all of which were raised at a bipartisan health care summit last week, in a letter to congressional leaders. In a nod to his 2008 presidential rival, Obama also said he

had eliminated a special deal for Medicare Advantage beneficiaries in Florida and other states that drew criticism at the summit from Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz. The proposals Obama listed are: sending investigators disguised as patients to uncover fraud and waste, expanding medical malpractice reform pilot programs, increasing payments to Medicaid providers and expanding the use of health savings accounts.
