GUILFORD COUNTY – County commissioners will hear a report Thursday that could determine if they will try to postpone the 2012 property revaluation. A second scheduled report also could help with settling a longstanding boundary dispute with Alamance County. The Guilford County Board of Commissioners will meet at 5:30 p.m. Thursday in the Old Courthouse in Greensboro. In January, Republican Commissioner Steve Arnold of High Point won support to ask Tax Director Ben Chavis for a study to see if it

would be possible to postpone the revaluation. With the upheaval in real estate and credit markets the last two years, several counties have considered postponing their scheduled revaluations. Arnold predicted that taxpayers may not like their tax bills after a 2012 revaluation if real estate markets have not settled. But a delay may require special legislation, County Attorney Mark Payne earlier told commissioners. Because of increased values following revaluations, county officials often settle on a reduced tax rate, but falling values can create a gap. Republican Commissioner Linda Shaw has suggested a re-

Expert: High schools, colleges should team up BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

JAMESTOWN – Educators should work harder to align course offerings in high schools and community colleges so more students can succeed in college, a leading community college expert told a gathering of educators last week. Community college educators know that most unsuccessful students leave because of academic problems. Math is often the big problem, John Roueche, director of the community college leader-

ship program at the University of Texas at Austin, told educators gathered at Guilford Technical Community College for an Education Summit. Only one in eight community college students completes math courses, he said. “If the K-12 curriculum was aligned with the community college curriculum, more students would have a chance to succeed,” said the Statesville native and career educator. “The last test the seniors take in their subjects should be at the college level.” Educators from the pre-school

GUILFORD COUNTY – Parents of rising sixth-graders should still be thinking about getting Tdap vaccines, school officials say. The vaccine is a requirement to enter sixth grade. Tdap protects children from tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis, more commonly known as whooping cough. A state law that went into effect two years ago requires rising sixth-graders who have not received a Tdap vaccine since July 2005 to receive the shot before the next school year begins. The 2010-11 school year begins Aug. 25. State law also requires schools to exclude students who have not

proper criteria are for a court to decide whether to seal search warrants.” Another type of record that is sometimes the subject of controversy is video from dashboard cameras in law enforcement vehicles. State statute does not spell out whether this is public, although it is within the discretion of law enforcement to release it. “I think the police and other law enforcement agencies are very adept at releasing information they think will help them solve a crime or will help them explain how they handled a particular incident, and I don’t begrudge them that,” Stevens said. “Law enforcement records are not public unless the legislature specifically says they are, and since these kinds of videos weren’t in use when the language about law enforcement was put in (the statute), it may be something we have to ask the legislature to clarify.”

received the shots. Parents of rising sixth-graders are encouraged to get their children vaccinated before the deadline. All three diseases are spread by bacteria. Diphtheria and pertussis are spread from person to person, while tetanus enters the body through scratches, cuts or wounds. Tetanus, which is also known as lockjaw, can lead to “locking” of the jaw to stop swallowing. Tetanus leads to death in up to 2 cases out of 10. Diphtheria can cause breathing problems, paralysis, heart failure, and even death. Whooping cough can lead to pneumonia and hospitalization.

search warrants are public records once they’ve been served or executed and have been returned by law enforcement to the local clerk of court’s office. Prosecutors and law enforcement officials sometimes try to get records sealed that would otherwise be public on the grounds that their release could harm an investigation or jeopardize the right of the state to prosecute a defendant or the right of a defendant to a fair trial. Stevens said he’s seen a trend where authorities seek to do this more frequently, especially when it comes to search warrants, which can contain significant information about a case. “That almost never happened in North Carolina until a few years ago. We’ve seen a real kind of epidemic of these in the last few years. Several have occurred in highprofile cases,” he said. “There is a case pending on petition before the North Carolina Supreme Court about what the

Officers pull plug on Internet sweepstakes parlors MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

MORGANTON – Sheriff’s officers and police from Morganton, Valdese, Drexel and Glen Alpine shut down Internet sweepstakes parlors and similar gaming operations throughout Burke County on Friday. The law-enforcement officers visited 56 businesses and unplugged 262 computers and video-game machines. They also gave the owners a March 26 deadline to get rid of the devices. Sheriff John McDevitt said his office and the police

departments are working together and with the district attorney’s office to eradicate illegal gambling. However, it’s not clear that what the businesses do is gambling as defined by North Carolina’s current statutes. “We’re taking a leap of faith to enforce what we interpret the law to be,� McDevitt said. Gaming parlors have sprung up across Burke County and throughout North Carolina. They sometimes identify themselves as “Internet business centers� or “Internet sweepstakes cafes.� Many contain rows

of regular desktop computers. Some have upright video-game machines similar to what you might find at Harrah’s Cherokee Casino & Hotel, offering blackjack, poker and other games. But there is one important difference between casino games and these machines. The latter have no coin slots. Typically, an “Internet sweepstakes� or “business center� customer pays a clerk as little as $1 or $5 to buy Internet time on a computer, to purchase credits on an upright gaming machine or to buy sweepstakes

tickets. On some computers and the video-game machines, the customer logs on to play penny, nickel and quarter slot machine-like games on the screen. On the upright poker and blackjack machines the customers use their credits for making bets. In sweepstakes operations, the customer uses the computer to check for winning sweepstakes numbers. Burke County Narcotics Task Force Lt. Alex Cobb said the businesses try to skirt the state’s gambling and video-gaming laws. General Statute 14-301 prohibits “any slot machine or

device where the user may become entitled to receive any money, credit, allowance or anything of value.� And G.S. 14-306.1A says, in part, “A video gaming machine is a video machine which requires deposit of any coin or token, or use of any credit card, debit card, or any other method that requires payment to activate play of any of the games listed in this subsection.� However, a computer is a multi-purpose device, and it’s certainly legal to sell Internet access time or to rent the use of computers. In Wake County last year, a

Superior Court judge issued an injunction preventing police from doing anything about the gaming machines until there’s some clarification about whether the Internet parlors’ operations or their machines are illegal. The Burke County sheriff said he doesn’t believe he’s bound by an injunction issued by a judge in Wake County. McDevitt said Burke County’s law-enforcement officers will continue their efforts to eradicate illegal gambling. “Are we going to get rid of video gaming? No,� McDevitt said, “but we’re going to make them hide it better.�

Hundreds mourn slain school official NC woman charged GREENVILLE – Kathy A. Taft found joy in helping the lives of others, whether her four children, her five grandchildren or the thousands of North Carolina students she focused on as the longest-serving member of the state’s school board. It was that dedication that brought more than 700 people to a Saturday memorial service at the Greenville church Taft attended. Meanwhile, in Raleigh, police continued to look

for the unknown assailant who attacked her a week before while she was staying at a friend’s home. The mystery surrounding the death, with homicide detectives yet to say whether they think she was attacked at random or by someone she knew, thrust Taft’s already public life further into the limelight. Among those who attended Saturday’s service were Gov. Bev Perdue, state Senate leader Marc Basnight and state School Superintendent June Atkinson. Colon Willoughby, Wake’s dis-

trict attorney, also was there with his wife, who served alongside Taft on the state school board. Willoughby has asked that records normally open to the public in police investigations, including 911 calls and affidavits of search warrants, be sealed during the pending investigation. Taft was found severely injured March 6 in the home of Raleigh attorney John Geil, who was in Florida while Taft was staying at his home with her sister. Taft once had a romantic relationship with him.

RALEIGH (AP) – Police have charged a North Carolina woman with drunken driving and felony death by vehicle following a car crash that left one person dead. Raleigh police said a car driven by 27year-old Manuela Mantanona Gomez of Raleigh slammed into the back of another car stopped at a red light killing 24-year-old John Sullivan of Charlotte on

Saturday. Sullivan was trapped in the back seat of the car that was hit. Police say Gomez was injured and taken to WakeMed. A spokesman said Sunday that Gomez remained at the hospital and was in good condition. Two other people in the car with Sullivan were hurt in the wreck, but their injuries were not thought to be lifethreatening.

Animal advocates call for tougher abuse laws GREENSBORO (AP) – Supporters of a dog who survived being burned and beaten are using her abuse as a rallying cry for tougher animal cruelty laws in North Carolina. The News & Record of Greensboro reported that supporters planned to go door-to-door Sunday in Guilford County with information about the state’s laws on animal abuse. They blame those laws for letting the man who abused Susie

receive what they think is a light sentence. Earlier this month, a judge sentenced 21-yearold Lashawn Whitehead to probation for felony animal cruelty. He also received six to eight months in prison for setting personal property on fire. That personal property was Susie. State Sen. Don Vaughan is amending a bill that deals with puppy mills to include stiffer penalties for felony animal cruelty.

JOHH HOOD: Unwise regulation costs North Carolina businesses dearly. TOMORROW

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

Obama, Democrats should show us the jobs, costs The latest unemployment statistics show North Carolina’s unemployment rate continuing to increase. Billions of stimulus dollars supposedly have been spent to produce economic and job growth. Economically, what is said to be up, according to our leaders, continues downward. What continues to move upward is government intrusion into our lives. Governments continue to prove that they are very successful at taking taxpayers’ money and growing their segment of the economy without tangible economic benefits to citizens. It is disappointing that local and national media outlets seem to condone current government actions. Seldom seen are reports of the results produced by this “borrow and spend” mentality. Our leaders tell us that too much borrowing and spending created our present situation, yet they continue the same failed strategy. This is your money, too. Since they are in charge, I ask President Obama, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Gov. Beverly Perdue to please show taxpayers the jobs, in government and the private sector, and their cost to us produced from their massive creation of new multigenerational debt. JIMMY MORGAN Colfax

Congress should approve Medicare buy-in option I am writing to call on all members of Congress to support a measure to be passed in reconciliation of the health care bill to provide that anyone should have the option to buy into the Medicare system. This makes such simple, common sense, who as a member of Congress could justifiably oppose it? Even the Republicans say they don’t want to weaken Medicare. If people younger than 65 are allowed to buy into the economical and efficient Medicare system we have, with the lesser expense of providing them with whatever care they need, this can only make Medicare stronger. This must be an option for the American people, regardless of whether the current health care bill passes or not. And no member of Congress should vote for the current bill unless there is

God created the world by faith, making faith the most important pleasure, satisfaction and redemptive life-giving love from God, for mankind. Jesus says God is a “spirit” not a religion, color or nationality, without natural senses (material flesh) of eyes, ear, tongues, nostrils or feeling (emotions). God is a “spiritual being” (immaterial) of sight, hearing, speaking, smelling and feeling (nonemotional) in the heaven and earthly realms. We were created in the likeness, image of God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit to mirror by faith the lifestyle of Christ. Christians must walk, talk, love, live and die in the “Faith.” Faith comes by hearing (obeying) the “Word of God,” fear comes by not hearing (disobeying) that same “Word.” Hebrews 11:1 says, now faith (present time) is the substance (reality) of things hoped for, the evidence (confidence of things not seen). Satan 11:1 says, now fear (present time) is the substance (reality) of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. The faith of God trumps “faith for faith,” and the faith of Satan trumps “faith for fear.” Faith and fear work with what you believe, as water is to wet, for the maximum benefit of the choice hoped for or desired. Faith or fear, without works is hopeless. Faith and fear cannot work together! Every man is born with the measure of fear (equal), every man born again (receiving salvation) is born with the measure of faith (equal). The “measure” given to every man is 10 percent (mustard seed), but without faith, it is impossible to except, receive, grow or please God through Jesus Christ. Jesus is faith and faith is Jesus!

‘Jihad Jane’ shatters the terrorist stereotype E

vil is not a color. It has no particular religion nor creed, nor style of dress, nor gender nor geographic home. Evil is an equal opportunity employer. One hopes we learn at least that much from the adventures of Jihad Jane. That, according to federal prosecutors, is the name Colleen LaRose used when she went online to say how “desperate” she was to do something to help Muslims. That desperation allegedly led her deep into the shadowy world of fundamentalist extremism. LaRose, prosecutors say, used the Internet to recruit would-be terrorists. She allegedly sought to kill a Swedish artist who had angered Muslims by depicting the Prophet Mohammed with a dog’s body. LaRose is also said to have agreed to marry one of her conspirators. According to the indictment, she wrote that it would be “an honor & great pleasure to die or kill” for her intended. Seven alleged members of the would-be terror cell have been apprehended in Ireland. That’s in addition to LaRose, who was

arrested in Philadelphia in October. She was indicted last week. Which ought to serve as a rebuke to the guy standing in the airport security line grumbling at how the TSA agent is running his wand over some dewyeyed grandmother who obviously isn’t

a threat. Even more, it should rebuke pundits like Cal Thomas, Ann Coulter and Kathleen Parker, who, in the wake of Sept. 11, argued for ethnic profiling in airport security. Pat down swarthy, bearded young men with Middle Eastern accents and exotic head gear, they said, and leave the rest of us alone. Jihad Jane is the reason that’s a dumb idea. She is, according to published reports and photos, 4-foot-11 tall, 105 pounds and 46 years of age, with pale skin, blond hair and blue eyes. She is, literally, a citizen of Main Street, USA, having made her home on that thoroughfare in the Phila-

delphia suburb of Pennsburg, where she was a caretaker for her boyfriend’s father. Until, that is, she disappeared, along with her boyfriend’s passport, which she allegedly intended to give to her terrorist fiance. There are several good arguments against profiling. It’s morally wrong. It’s an abridgement of civil liberties. But the most compelling of them is embodied by Jihad Jane. Put aside squishy appeals to conscience and principle and deal instead with hard pragmatism. Pragmatism will tell you that to concentrate solely on swarthy Middle Eastern men is to turn a blind eye to everyone else. But as demonstrated by LaRose, by convicted terrorists Richard Reid, Jose Padilla and John Walker Lindh, and any number of others here and abroad, terror comes in both genders and all cultures and shades. And here, it might be fruitful to recall a point Kathleen Parker made in her 2002 column on profiling. She noted her own profile (”a smallish, middle-aged, AngloSaxon, 14th-generation American” woman) and asked point-

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

edly: “when was the last time a U.S. citizen fitting my description hijacked an airplane?” The question becomes darkly comic in the wake of this arrest. LaRose, after all, fits the same profile, at least in the broad parameters, and if she didn’t hijack an airplane, we can assume it wasn’t for lack of ambition. The moral of the story: to depend for our safety on profiling is to open a gap in our already gapridden security. It creates a blind spot. One can envision TSA giving some Middle Eastern businessman the third degree while a tiny blonde saunters by with a bomb in her purse. So we should be thankful for the vigilance of federal authorities who nabbed Jihad Jane. In the process, they remind us: evil is not a color, a religion, a gender or a style of dress. That shouldn’t need saying. Somehow, it always does. LEONARD PITTS JR., winner of the 2004 Pulitzer Prize for commentary, is a columnist for the Miami Herald. E-mail him at lpitts@ miamiherald.com.

Iraq’s prime minister holds slim lead BAGHDAD (AP) – Iraq’s prime minister edged ahead in a tight race in the country’s parliamentary elections Sunday after partial results from all of 18 provinces showed his bloc leading in seven provinces – two more than his chief rival. The tally strengthens Nouri al-Maliki’s chances of retaining the prime minister’s post, although he is unlikely to win a

majority that would allow him rule alone. Instead, the narrow race could lead to months of political wrangling as leaders try to cobble together a coalition government that will rule as American forces leave Iraq in 2011. The March 7 vote was Iraq’s second for a full-term government since the U.S.-led invasion in 2003.

According to the partial count from all of Iraq’s 18 provinces released by the country’s electoral commission, al-Maliki’s State of Law coalition leads in seven provinces. His closest challenger, the secular Iraqiya bloc led former Prime Minister Ayad Allawi, leads in five provinces, while the religious Shiite Iraqi National Alliance and the main

Kurdish coalition each lead in three. The results were based on partial vote counts released over the past three days, with the percentage of polling stations counted in each province ranging from 10 to 67 percent. In his first public appearance since minor surgery Wednesday, a confident looking al-Maliki praised Iraqis Sunday for

Taliban: Kandahar bombings a ‘warning’

UN chief sees dangers up-close in Haiti quake camp PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti – U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon came to Haiti on Sunday to offer assurances of his commitment to a post-earthquake nation that is short of shelter and suffering growing violence in teeming camps for the homeless. Security issues and the risk of flooding and disease in the squalid tarp-and-tent cities are pressing concerns for governments and international aid groups struggling to help hundreds of thousands of victims of the Jan. 12 disaster.

Israeli apology gets cool reception in Washington JERUSALEM – Israel’s prime minister expressed regret Sunday for a crisis with the United States over plans to expand a Jewish neighborhood in east Jerusalem, even as American officials played down the apology and called for bold Israeli action to get peace efforts back on track. With tensions rising, Israel deployed hundreds of police around east Jerusalem’s Old City and heavily restricted Palestinian access to the area – the scene of several recent clashes. Israel’s already strained relationship with the U.S. hit a new low last week when the Jewish state announced plans during a visit by Vice President Joe Biden to build 1,600 homes for Israelis in east Jerusalem, which Palestinians claim as their capital.

American, 22, completes solo row across Atlantic GEORGETOWN, Guyana – A 22-year-old American rower completed a solo journey across the Atlantic Ocean on Sunday, touching a pier in the coffee-brown waters off Guyana to claim a record as the youngest person to accomplish such a crossing. Katie Spotz, who spent more than two months alone at sea, hugged her father and brother as a crowd of 200 people cheered her arrival in this South American capital.

Vatican denies celibacy led to sex abuse scandal VATICAN CITY – The Vatican on Sunday denied that its celibacy requirement for priests was the root cause of the clerical sex abuse scandal convulsing the church in Europe and again defended the pope’s handling of the crisis. Suggestions that the celibacy rule was somehow responsible for the “deviant behavior� of a few priests have swirled in recent days, with opinion pieces in German newspapers blaming it for fueling abuse and even Italian commentators questioning the rule.

defying those who used violence to try to keep them from the polls, saying “the Iraqi people can not be intimidated.� Insurgent attacks had killed 36 people on election day. On Sunday, partial results came in for the remaining seven provinces that had yet reported results. Al-Maliki’s coalition was ahead in the key, oil-rich province of Basra.

KANDAHAR, Afghanistan (AP) – The Taliban on Sunday called their deadly bomb attacks on the southern city of Kandahar a warning to NATO’s top general that the insurgents were ready for the war’s next major offensive in their heartland. The series of bombings that demolished buildings and killed dozens – including 10 people at a wedding – prompted the provincial governor to plead for more security in the area. Fearful residents said they had no confidence that either government or foreign troops can protect them. Taliban spokesman Qari Yousef Ahmadi said the Saturday night attacks proved the insurgents were still able to operate despite the buildup of Afghan and international troops in preparation for a push into Kandahar province. A Taliban-linked Web site called the attacks in the south’s largest city a “warning� to NATO’s Gen. Stanley McChrystal.

Pakistani jets pound Taliban hide-outs; 17 killed PARACHINAR, Pakistan (AP) – Pakistani fighter jets pounded Taliban hide-outs near the Afghan border Sunday, killing 17 insurgents, local officials said. The hide-outs were in the village of Mero Bak in the Taliban stronghold of the Lower Orakzai tribal region, said Rasheed

Khan, an Orakzai official. The air attack killed nine militants, he added. One of the bombed houses belonged to a local Taliban commander, Aslam Farooqi, but it was not clear if he was among those killed. Jabir Gul, another local official, said the bombing in neighboring Upper Or-

akzai killed eight more Taliban fighters. Orakzai is the base of Pakistani Taliban chief Hakimullah Mehsud, who officials believe was killed in a U.S. mis-

sile strike early this year. The group insists he is alive, but has not provided any evidence. Violence has surged in Pakistan in recent days as militants.

At least 2 snowmobilers dead in avalanche REVELSTOKE, British Columbia – An avalanche that killed at least two people at an informal snowmobile rally in Canada’s Rocky Mountains may have been triggered by three daredevil sledders who apparently unleashed a deadly wall of snow on up to 200 people below, witnesses said Sunday. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police said an even worse tragedy may have been averted because many of the snowmobilers had come equipped with avalanche recovery equipment and dug people out even before rescuers arrived at the scene.

The administration gave signs

Christian Hsu says a gunman approached a crowd of people at a party in a courtyard late Saturday and opened fire. Five people were hospitalized, two in serious condition.

SAN DIEGO (AP) – Investigators with Toyota Motor Corp. and the federal government could not replicate the runaway speeding reported by a Prius owner who said his car’s accelerator stuck as he drove on a California freeway, according to a memo for a congressional panel. The memo, obtained Saturday by The Associated Press, said the experts who examined and test drove the car could not replicate the sudden, unintended acceleration James Sikes said he encountered. A backup mechanism that shuts off the engine when the brake and gas pedals are floored also worked properly during tests. Sikes, 61, called 911 last Monday to report losing control of his 2008 Prius as it reached speeds of 94 mph. A California Highway Patrol officer helped him bring it to a safe stop on Interstate 8 near San Diego.

The changes also are designed to bring the Randleman Regional Reservoir rules in line with other buffer protection programs, such as ones in the Catawba, Neuse and Tar-Pamlico river basins and the Jordan Lake watershed, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources reports. The changes would provide: • A table of uses that clearly define development and other activities that would be exempt from the rules. Some activities could be allowed, depending on local government or N.C. Division of Water Quality review. • A variance application process for certain activities that would otherwise be prohibited. • Mitigation as a requirement for certain activities that impact the watershed. The proposed change allows more flexibility than the current rules, which do not provide for mitigation for impacts to the watershed, according to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources. State environmental officials opened the proposed rule changes to public comment from mid-October to mid-December and held a public hearing in November. Randleman Regional Reservoir, decades in the making, opened March 1 to general recreation for fishing and boating. The lake, centered in Randolph County, will become a drinking water source this summer when water treatment facilities and water pipelines are completed by the Piedmont Triad Regional Water Authority.

THOMASVILLE – They may not be ready for “Crime Scene Investigation” yet, but seventh-grade students at Brown Middle School last week learned how to employ modern forensic methods in a crime lab. Brown Middle teachers converted their classrooms into crime labs Wednesday and used the time to teach forensics through Friday. Teachers used the crime labs to teach students some of the same methods that are used by law enforcement agencies to investigate crimes. “We have done this every year for quite a while,” said Tricia Creasey, a seventh-grade science teacher. “We do it because in seventh-grade science, we study the human body and genetics. We just want them to be able to connect with what they are learning in school to a real-life career, something that they could do when they get out of school. They all watch those CSI shows and the crime lab shows. That’s a good way to connect them.” As part of the crime lab, students used forensic methods of chromatography, fingerprint identification, blood typing and analysis of footprints. “I hope they take away from this a better understanding of what they are learning the school, so it can be used in the real world and

We want to encourage them to go into those fields because those are the fields of the future and where they could be making money.” The crime lab also showed students the most modern trends in the field of study under the North Carolina Course of Study. The seventh-grade curriculum includes a study of cells that leads into genetics and DNA. The activity allows students to employ methods that will use geometry, genetics, chemistry and modern

forensic methodology. Seventhgrade students Haley Sink and Brianna Nichaelis said they have enjoyed the crime lab. “It’s really interesting and exciting,” Sink said. “It’s a good way to learn about science. It will help some people to be inspired to take these jobs in the future. I’m thinking about being a forensic scientist.” Detectives from the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office also participated in the crime lab, visiting earlier last week to give a lesson on crime scenes.

CATAWBA INDIAN NATION, S.C. (AP) – Catawba Indian potter and South Carolina native Earl Robbins who created hundreds of pieces that are in museums around the world has died. He was 87. Greene Funeral Home of Rock Hill confirmed that Robbins died Thursday at his home on the Catawba Indian Reservation east of Rock Hill. No cause of death was given, but Robbins’ daughter told The Her-

ald of Rock Hill that her father had suffered from Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. Margaret Robbins told the newspaper that her father didn’t know that his wife of 68 years, fellow potter Viola Robbins, had died in January. The couple were among a handful of Catawba master potters who dig clay from a creek off the Catawba River, strain and hand-rub it before firing.

Jail food worries relative of Alamance inmate MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

Meals served in prisons and county jails are regulated by the state for nutritional content as well as for the amount served. A relative of a man in the Alamance County jail called the Times-News last week and said inmates there aren’t being fed properly. She claimed inmates were being served meals consisting only of a plain hot dog on a stale bun and watered-down Kool-Aid. “It’s not enough to live on,” she said. She said meals are served three times a day. She asked the TimesNews to check on what is served at the jail. Alamance County contracts with Canteen Correctional to provide meal menus and food at the jail. Canteen Correctional is a subsidiary of United Kingdom-based Compass Group, which provides food to schools and businesses in America, Mexico, Canada and Europe. According to information on the company’s Web site, nutritionists devise meal menus and the amounts served to “meet or exceed” state and federal guidelines. The Alamance County Sheriff’s Department provided a week’s worth of menus to the Times-News.

Each meal was comprised of a main entree of a meat, starches such as pasta and bread and vegetables like green beans. The portions listed on the menu – several ounces of meat and between a half-cup and a cup of side items – aren’t large but are nutritionally sound, said Randy Jones, Sheriff’s Office spokesman. “There has to be a certain caloric content and intake. It’s something jail inspectors look at when they come around,” Jones said Thursday. Jones said he didn’t know of any complaints about the jail menu. He also said he sometimes eats there. Sarah Hada, Compass Group’s communications director, said in an e-mail responding to TimesNews questions that Canteen Corrections employees prepare food in the jail’s kitchen and that the menu runs on four-week cycles. “In regards to the food at Alamance County Jail, Canteen Corrections is the food service provider since December 2007. The health and proper nutrition of the population we serve is Canteen’s highest priority,” Hada said. The jail kitchen works to meet inmates’ religious and specific dietary requirements, Hada said.

Dear Abby: When my husband, “Vic,� and I met, we discussed having children. Although he is 25 years my senior, he was in accord with my desire to have kids. He even said we should have them right away because he is so much older. I have had reproductive issues in the past, so before we married I went through several tests to verify that I could conceive a child. Three months after the wedding, Vic told me he had “changed his mind� and no longer wants a child. (He has one from a previous relationship.)

Aunt’s ‘organ recital’ drowns out dinner table talk ear Abby: Last night, I attended an elegant dinner party at the home of a friend. She served a delicious meal on a table set with crystal, bone china, silver and a low centerpiece of fresh flowers. Everything was perfection – with one exception. As soon as we were seated, our hostess’s elderly Aunt “Ethel� began talking about her health, with graphic details of every symptom, every allergy and every pain she had ever endured. Other guests tried changing the subject several times, but Aunt Ethel evidently believed she was being entertaining. Among those at the table were a lawyer, a teacher and a friend who had recently returned from living several years in Africa. Each had more to contribute in the way of conversation. But not one got the opportunity to speak more than a few words before Aunt Ethel was reminded of yet another ailment she “knew� we’d find interesting. How does one handle an awkward situation like this? In spite of her age, the woman is essentially in good health and ours is a small town.

Aside from this issue and a few others, he’s a good husband. He would be there for me until one of us dies, but I don’t know if I can settle for that.

However, right now you have another issue that needs to be addressed. When your husband told you he would be dying soon, did you ask him exactly what he meant by that?

RALEIGH (AP) – Stubbornly weak tax collections and doubledigit unemployment rates mean more spending cuts are looming for North Carolina’s public agencies and nonprofit groups that depend on state funds.

BURLINGTON – Alamance Community College is requesting a local funding increase of 2.9 percent for the 2010-11 year. The college’s board of trustees approved the budget request last week. It goes to Alamance County for consideration as the county staff and Board of Commissioners work on and approve a 2010-11 budget. If the budget request is approved, the county would provide $3,036,525 to the college in 2010-11, an increase of $80,992 from 2009-10. The requested increase would include money to cover employee expenses such as longevity costs, insurance and retirement payments. It would also cover increasing building utility costs and the expenses of operating an additional facility when the literacy building opens on the college’s main campus later this year.

Even in the city, wildfires can occur

I

t won’t be long before windy conditions so common in spring arrive. Added dry weather plus low humidity create ideal conditions for a wildfire. The only thing missing is an ignition source to start the fire. When most people think of wildfires they imagine fires in heavily wooded and less populated areas. Few would consider the possibility of a wildfire in an urban setting. All cities have vacant lots that contain vegetation that will burn, and many cities have annexed areas containing fields and wooded areas. Cities may not have wildfires that endanger thousands of acres, but wildfires whipped by winds can quickly endanger people’s homes. In fact, when conditions are right, wildfires can occur inside the city. To help reduce the number of wildfires, first remember that outside burning is not allowed inside the city limits of High Point. If we are called to your home and you are burning trash or brush, the fire will have to be extinguished. Never throw a lighted cigarette from the window of a vehicle. Please use the vehicle ashtray.

What you want to know is why your mouth is dry. Lots of illnesses and many medicines parch the mouth. Sjogren’s disease is an example of an illness in which mouth dryness is a chief sign. Before experimenting with products to wet your mouth, see the family dentist or doctor for an opinion of why your mouth needs these products.

The condition is called a pneumothorax (NEWmoe-THOR-ax). A delicate lung bleb – often present from birth – breaks, and air rushes into the chest cavity. The incoming air compresses the lung. This sometimes happens to young, healthy athletes. The air is suctioned out. If both lungs collapse, emergency treatment to expand them must be given quickly, or the person dies. The newspaper clipping you sent describes a man who was stabbed repeatedly on both sides of his back. The stab wounds allowed air to rush into both chest cavities and compress both lungs. This man died.

Filling the kettle Auctions, fashion show to highlight Salvation Army luncheon BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

H

IGH POINT – Leaders of the Salvation Army’s strong right arm, the Salvation Army Women’s Auxiliary, hope to flex some financial muscle next week at the organization’s traditional fundraiser, the Red Kettle Luncheon. “This is a big fundraiser for us that we do every two years,” says Punkin Parker, president of the Women’s Auxiliary. “Two years ago, we raised about $27,000, and in 2006 we raised $29,000.” This year’s luncheon, which will include a fashion show, live auction and silent auction, will be held March 23 at the High Point Country Club. The deadline for purchasing tickets is Thursday. The highlight of the luncheon

will be a fashion show featuring more than 20 local celebrities wearing wardrobes from Stein Mart. Among the models will be recently retired radio personality Max Meeks; prominent business and civic leader Ed Price; Marty Sumner of the High Point Police Department; High Point Enterprise columnist Mary Bogest; WMAG morning announcer Lora Songster; news anchor Julie Luck and reporter Kristin Nelson from WGHP-TV; and Lauren Ashley Martz, Miss North Carolina Teen USA. “They’ll go to Stein Mart and pick out their clothes – whatever they like – and parade around the ballroom,” Parker says. The luncheon will also include a live auction featuring the following items: an 18-inch pearl necklace; a week’s stay

The Red Kettle Luncheon, sponsored by the Salvation Army Women’s Auxiliary, will be held March 23 at the High Point Country Club. The doors will open at 10:30 a.m. for a silent auction. Lunch, a fashion show and a live auction will begin at noon. Tickets are $35 and can be purchased by calling Lou at 887-1072, Mary at 883-9828 or the Salvation Army office at 881-5400. The deadline for purchasing tickets is Thursday. at a house at Topsail Beach; an Italian dinner for eight, prepared by Bert Woods; an overnight at J.H. Adams Inn and dinner at Hampton’s, the inn’s in-house restaurant; and four rounds of golf provided by the High Point Country Club. There will also be a silent auction featuring more than 150 items, including such items

as plants, pottery, clothing, homemade foods, art, home furnishings accessories, and gift certificates from restaurants, nail salons and other local businesses. Tickets to the luncheon are $35 apiece, and all proceeds will go directly to the Salvation Army of High Point to assist with such projects as its women’s shelter, the Salvation Army Boys and Girls Club, and the William Booth Garden Apartments. The Women’s Auxiliary was established in 1992 by a group of women who supported the mission of the Salvation Army, according to Parker. “It started because they wanted to help with the women’s shelter, and it just grew and grew from there,” she says. “We donate $70,000 to $90,000 a year to the Salvation Army through our fundraisers, but we also do a lot of volunteering. We have 82 members, and we give volunteer hours to everything the Salvation Army does.”

Poisonings from prescription medications are on the rise in North Carolina – since 1999, more than 75 percent of all unintentional poisonings were caused by prescription or over-the-counter medications, according to the N.C. Division of Public Health. This week’s Operation Medicine Drop is aimed at providing the public a safe and secure method for disposing of prescription and over-the-counter medications. Children ages 1-5 account for 23 percent of all emergency department visits related to poisoning, and these types of injuries result in a high death rate of infants younger than 1 year old due to their smaller size, according to the World Health Organization 2008 Childhood Injury Report. “During Poison Prevention Week (March 14-21), Operation Medicine Drop will host nearly 200 take-back events statewide where the public can drop off prescriptions or over-the-counter products that may have expired or are unused,” said Insurance Commissioner Wayne Goodwin. Additional event information is available on the Safe Kids Web site, www. ncsafekids.org.

Museum has volunteer spots for youngsters ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

A

re you interested in history? Like to dress up? And are you between the ages of 10 and 13? If so, then the High Point Museum has something for you. This summer, the museum will train young people to serve as Junior Interpreters in the historical park. The idea is to provide local youths with an opportunity to serve the community through volunteer service while learning about our community’s heritage. “Our Junior Interpreters are

a wonderful addition to our programs,” said Sarah DeYoung, museum educator. “They make our interpretation more interactive by providing more trained people to engage in dialogue and activity with our visitors. The program passes on our local heritage to young members of the community and makes them active participants in the process of preserving and sharing our history with others.” The Junior Interpreters will receive hands-on training in historical skills such as candlemaking, weaving, open-hearth

cooking, quill pen writing and natural dyeing. Activities that would have been performed by both males and females will be included in the course. The training will consist of some general history lessons about Guilford County in the 1786-1820 time period, including the architecture, economy, clothing, politics and Quakers. Participants will learn how to stuff mattresses, play old games, pickle vegetables and identify common household items. Once training is complete, Junior Interpreters are required to volunteer for at least 20 hours

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

within the year. Their duties will be to assist costumed park staff on weekends with historical demonstrations and guided tours of historical buildings, including the John Haley House, Hoggatt House and the blacksmith shop. Up to 20 participants will be selected. Applications are due April 17. The 10-day training course will be held July 19-23 and July 26-30 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the High Point Museum. To receive an application or for more information, contact DeYoung at 883-3023 or sarah. deyoung@highpointnc.gov.

Monday, March 15, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Caitlin Wachs, 21; Kellan Lutz, 25; Sean Biggerstaff, 27; Eva Longoria Parker, 35 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Your sensitivity will be tested this year. Concentrate on keeping things in perspective and maintaining balance by using moderation in all aspects of life. Change is upon you and, to make it favorable, you must move slowly toward your goals. Too much, too fast will lead to setbacks and failure. Your numbers are 5, 13, 17, 21, 24, 35, 46 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Nothing is as it appears. Revealing your plans will work against you. Keeping secrets will be necessary if you want to avoid trouble. Believe in yourself and your abilities and refuse to make a short-sighted decision. ★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Expect to be questioned about personal matters. You don’t have to reveal secrets but you will have to explain what you are trying to accomplish. Use your energy wisely by fixing up your place or making changes to your environment. ★★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Refuse to let anyone railroad you into taking on responsibilities that don’t belong to you. Trust your instincts, not someone with big ideas and little backup. Romance is apparent but steer clear of anyone using pressure to get you to do something you don’t care to do. ★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): An opening you’ve been waiting for will enable you to advance. Don’t be afraid to speak up and let others know your intentions. Don’t allow a personal responsibility to stand between you and your success. ★★★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Love and romance are in the stars but you mustn’t mix business with pleasure or you will end up in a precarious position. A change in your location will lead to uncertainty, personally and professionally. Focus on what you have to offer and how you can get ahead. ★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Nurture any partnerships you are involved in. A couple of changes implemented now can ward off a problem in the future. A kind gesture and greater understanding will go a long way. Protect your health. ★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Being well-prepared and organized is your best bet. Now is not the time to take anything or anyone for granted. Don’t limit what you can do because you have tied up your time with responsibilities that don’t belong to you. ★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You are better positioned than you realize. Ask for what you want and go after your dreams. There is plenty of opportunity and good fortune heading your way. Travel will bring returns as well as pleasure. ★★★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Tread carefully. It will be easy to offend someone or to misrepresent your intentions. Someone will take you up on an offer you don’t want to honor. Love is apparent but it can lead to trouble with relatives, friends or neighbors. ★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Your past experiences can help you make the right choices now. Don’t be too predictable when dealing with others. Your ability to size up a situation and make it work will grab the attention of someone worth getting to know better. ★★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Someone you used to know may try to convince you to pick up old habits or to get involved in something that isn’t right for you. Don’t live in the past. It’s important to stick to your own game plan and to keep your guard up. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You’ll be your own worst enemy. Taking on too much will amount to nothing. Pick and choose wisely. A serious approach to whatever you do will help to build confidence and keep you on track. ★★★

“I got a good deal at the bakery,” Unlucky Louie beamed. “I bought one bread loaf for the price of two and got the second one free.” “You’re a shrewd operator,” I said. As declarer at 3NT, Louie won the first heart with the queen and led the queen and then another club. West threw a spade, and East withheld his ace. Dummy’s clubs were dead, so Louie next led a diamond to his jack. West took the queen and shifted to a spade: four, nine, king. Louie then led the ace and ten of diamonds, but when East won and returned a heart, Louie won only two tricks in each suit.

EXTRA CHANCE I couldn’t expect Louie to spot a two-for-the-priceof-one play. He makes 3NT by giving himself an extra chance. At Trick Two he overtakes his queen of clubs with the king. He next leads a diamond to his jack. West wins and shifts to a spade, and Louie wins and leads a club to dummy. East must duck again, and Louie takes another diamond finesse, winning three diamonds and nine tricks in all.

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S J 10 9 5 H 9 7 4 D K 7 6 C A 7 6. Your partner opens one diamond, you respond one spade, he bids two clubs and you return to two diamonds. Partner next bids two spades. What do you say? ANSWER: Your preference bid of two diamonds showed fewer than 10 points; still, your partner bid a third time and showed game interest. Since you have three “working” honors, don’t pass. Encourage partner by jumping to four diamonds. He may hold A Q 2, 5, A J 10 5 4, K Q 5 4. South dealer N-S 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.

‘Alice’ extends her No. 1 stay with $62M AT THE BOX OFFICE LOS ANGELES (AP) – Alice is still ruling the movie palace. Johnny Depp and Tim Burton’s “Alice in Wonderland” easily remained the No. 1 weekend draw with $62 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. The Disney fantasy has climbed to a $208.6 million total domestically, becoming the first $200 million hit released this year. In its second weekend in

theaters, “Alice in Wonderland” pulled ahead of the $206.5 million domestic haul of “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” to become the top-grossing of Depp and Burton’s seven films together, which include “Edward Scissorhands,” “Sweeney Todd” and “Corpse Bride.” “Alice” added $76 million overseas to bring its international total to $221 million and its worldwide gross to $430 million.

Duke’s Kyle Singler (12) dives over the media table after a loose ball, falling on ESPN broadcaster Dan Shulman while just missing ESPN broadcaster Dick Vitale (wearing blue tie) and statistician Marty Aronoff (right) in the ACC Tounament championship game against Georgia Tech on Sunday in Greensboro. Singler finished with 20 points and earned tournament-MVP honors as the Blue Devils won their second straight tourney crown.

Duke sinks Tech Scheyer, Singler lift Blue Devils to ACC Tournament crown BY STEVE HANF ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

GREENSBORO – Georgia Tech coach Paul Hewitt couldn’t say enough about the 3-pointer Jon Scheyer hit with 18 seconds to play in Sunday’s ACC Tournament championship game. “That’s a big-time shot you just saw,” Hewitt praised. “There’s nothing else we could have done on that play, other than pray for a miss. I told him after the game, ‘That’s a heck of a shot you just made.’ If Scheyer he misses that, we win the game.” For his part, Scheyer proved slightly more succinct in his analysis of the dagger that lifted Duke to a 65-61 victory and record-setting 18th all-time ACC championship. “I felt like I was due for one,” the senior said. Scheyer’s struggles mirrored those of Duke (29-5) in the ACC Tournament. He went 5-for-17 from the field in a 57-46 scrape vs. Virginia and ended 4-for-10 in the Devils’ 77-74 defeat of Miami.

Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski waves to the crowd after cutting down the net following Sunday’s win over Georgia Tech. Coach K has guided the Blue Devils to 12 ACC Tournament crowns. Duke owns 18 league tourney titles overall. (22-12), Scheyer was 3-for-12 overall and 1-for-8 from the 3-point line when the Yellow Jackets’ Derrick Favors slammed home a basket to make it 60-59 Duke with 48 seconds to go. Duke guard Nolan Smith worked down the shot clock and started toward the top of the key while Kyle Singler and Scheyer crossed

in the low post. Scheyer shook loose from the right side thanks to a Brian Zoubek screen, caught the pass from Smith and delivered a no-doubt-about-it swish with seven seconds to go on the shot clock and 18 left in the game. The Jackets answered with an Iman Shumpert layup, but Singler’s two foul shots – part of a tournament title game record 14-for-16 showing from the line – sealed the Duke win. “Even though I hadn’t been shooting the ball well, the coaching staff and my team told me to keep shooting,” Scheyer said. “That’s the reason I had confidence in that shot and it felt good when it left my hand.” And that’s why Duke was left to celebrate another title in the Greensboro Coliseum, even after enduring a second-half slump that allowed Tech to rally from a 54-43 deficit with 5:20 to play. “We’re ecstatic about winning the conference tournament and we feel honored to have been in this game,” Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “I know a lot of people say the tournament maybe doesn’t mean that much, but it certainly meant a lot to the two teams that played today.” shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

on Scheyer delivered the shot that lifted Duke to the ACC Tournament championship. Kyle Singler delivered a shot felt in living rooms around the world. “I know I kind of maybe broke some stuff,” a smiling Singler said sheepishly. “Sorry about that.” With 1:49 remaining in the first half of Sunday’s ACC title game against Georgia Tech, Singler made a stirring save of a loose ball. The Blue Devils’ junior raced toward the Greensboro Coliseum sideline and flew into press row as he scooped the ball back to his teammates. The aftermath was impressive, indeed.

Singler crashed headlong into ESPN commentator Dan Shulman and narrowly missed the legendary Dick Vitale. Monitors went flying into the press table with a thud, and Singler emerged from the fray with huge red scratch marks along his right shoulder. “I tried to just save it and I didn’t realize where I was going or how far I would be going,” Singler said. “I wasn’t hurt. It kind of felt good, just getting a little bump. I played football in high school, so I do like contact. If anything it kind of got me going.” It certainly got everyone else going. ESPN crew members scrambled to assess and fix the damage. Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski

fussed at his team for wasting the opportunity, as a shot clock violation ensued 10 seconds later even though Singler immediately hopped back onto the floor. Only later could everyone laugh about the incident. “One of the broadcasters,” offered a grinning Scheyer, “came over and said he wished it was me who hit him instead of Kyle.” Scheyer checks in at 6-foot-5, 190 pounds. Singler stands 6-8, 230. “Just trying to win the game,” Singler summed up following the 65-61 decision. “I think that’s what Duke is based on – doing whatever it takes to win.”

Fighting on the star, Manny Pacquiao showed once again why he is such a star. With the biggest fight crowd in the U.S. in 17 years cheering him on at Cowboys Stadium, Pacquiao dominated a strangely passive Joshua Clottey from the opening bell late Saturday night to retain his welterweight title and cement his status as the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world. The fight wasn’t close, and it was never in doubt. It was so one-sided that even those in the cheap seats among the crowd of 50,994 could tell without looking at the giant video screens over the ring that Pacquiao was in total command. One ringside judge gave Pacquiao every round, while the two others gave him all but one. The Associated Press scored it a shutout for the Filipino sensation. Pacquiao threw three times as many punches as Clottey.

Duke doubles pleasure after rugged tourney D

own on a corner on the Georgia Tech end of the floor after the Yellow Jackets’ final desperation shot glanced off the backboard, Nolan Smith leaped into the grasp of fellow Duke junior Kyle Singler as the celebration began. When the clock expired, the Blue Devils survived for a 65-61 victory to claim another ACC championship, the ninth in the past 12 years and the second straight for a core of tournament MVP Kyle Singler, Jon Scheyer, Smith and Brian Zoubek. “I could do this 100 times,” Scheyer said. “This was a big goal of ours, but there is a lot more that we want to do.” That would be bringing Duke its first national championship since 2001. Right now, the seniors can boast of being the fifth team in Mike Krzyzewski’s 30 to sweep the regular season and the tournament. Scheyer downplayed the accomplishment, possibly unaware of the history. “A win is a win,” Schreyer said. Krzyzewski, who won a 12th championship as Duke head coach, begged to differ about completing the double. “If you do that, it’s an accomplishment,” he said. ”They are being humble. When you do both, it’s better.” Being gracious as coaches are in victory, Krzyzewski praised the play of both teams. What it turned into after Duke jumped to an 8-0 lead was a defensive slugfest that typified much of the tournament. Helped by officials letting slapping and hacking go even when it was obvious, the four days of

the league’s marquee event at Greensboro Coliseum was punctuated by missed shots and SPORTS turnovers in front Greer of crowds Smith that at ■■■ times filled less than half the seats. Helped by Duke nation coming to watch a coronation, the place looked as if it were two or three thousand shy of a sellout. Classic basketball it wasn’t – unless you like wrestling and shoving matches. The number of points for the four days averaged 123.6 per game, the third-worst ever. Fieldgoal accuracy coming into the championship game was a tournamentworst 41.4 percent and the two finalists didn’t help it going a combined 40 of 101. Duke committed three shot-clock violations as Miami came back to threaten the Blue Devils in the semifinals and ran perilously close several times in the final. “We’ve just got to be more aware,” Singler said. “That’s not Duke basketball.” Georgia Tech continued its trend of committing more turnovers (17 this time) than assists (13). The Jackets got out of their second-round fight with Maryland despite committing 16 turnovers and making just eight field goals. Tech, which finished with 17 turnovers, turned it over five times as Duke went on its opening 8-0 run fueled by three buckets from Smith. Tech looked overwhelmed, stuck in the spotlight

Els cruises to four-shot win THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DORAL, Fla. – Ernie Els showed his South African protege what it takes to win a World Golf Championship. Just as important was that he showed himself how to win again, too. Ending the longest drought of his 20year career, Els played the final 23 holes on the Blue Monster without a bogey and closed with a 6-under 66 on Sunday to win the CA Championship by four shots over 25-year-old Charl Schwartzel. Els finished at 18-under 270. It was Els’ 61st victory worldwide, and 17th on the PGA Tour, and moved him to No. 8 in the world ranking. The victory was worth $1.4 million, and moved him past Colin Montgomerie and atop the PGA European Tour career money list with about $33.6 million. Schwartzel, in his first time on a world stage, refused to let Els get away from him. Els was clinging to a oneshot lead as he stood over a 25-foot par putt on the 14th hole, and the Big Easy was relieved to see it fall on the final turn. Schwartzel, a houseguest of Els

As we went through the game, we got worn down a little bit. Our defense was good throughout, but at the start it was great.” Tech coached Paul Hewitt believed his team was too excited. “I think we were a little too amped up,” Hewitt said. After the burst, Duke missed 33 of its 47 shots over the rest of the game, making only six of 22 in the second half. The Devils

The play will have to get better if the Devils are to win a national championship. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

The Tar Heels were a No. 4 seed in the bracket released Sunday, the second time in the past three years that the defending national champion missed the NCAA tournament. Florida also played in the NIT in 2008 after winning the title. It was the first time that North Carolina (16-16) missed out on the big party since 2003, but it certainly wasn’t unexpected.

It’s a sign of progress for Sidney Lowe’s program, which hadn’t been to the postseason since reaching the third round of the NIT in his first season. N.C. State looked like it was going nowhere after

losing seven straight Atlantic Coast Conference games, but the Wolfpack won three of its final four to close the regular season. Then N.C.

Kansas earns overall top seed THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

An injury hurts as much as a loss in the days before the brackets are drawn up for March Madness. Syracuse endured both and will have to rack up some major frequent flier miles to make a run to the Final Four. Kansas, Kentucky and Duke won their conference tournaments and the top seeding that goes with it when the selection committee rolled out its 65-team bracket Sunday. The Orangemen, meanwhile, were ranked fourth of the four No. 1 seeds and sent West after losing early in the Big East tournament after center Arinze Onuaku injured his right quadriceps. Their road to the Final Four, set for April 3-5 in Indianapolis, will have to go through Salt Lake City. No team has lost its first game in a conference tournament and gone on to win the national title. America’s largest, three-week office pool starts getting sorted out Tuesday with an opening-round game between Arkansas-Pine Bluff and Winthrop. The tournament goes into full swing Thursday, with Kansas the No. 1 seed.

The Big East led the field with eight teams, which tied its own record and is the third time the conference has put that many teams in the tournament. But winning the toughest conference’s regular-season title wasn’t the accomplishment it might have been for Syracuse. The Orangemen (28-4) lost to Georgetown in the Big East tournament quarterfinals. That pushed them down, below Duke, which was expected to vie with West Virginia for the final No. 1 spot. Winning the conference tournament helped vault Duke over Syracuse. Before the committee even met, there was no question there will be a new national champion. Defending titlist North Carolina was on a long list of traditional powerhouses that didn’t receive spots in this year’s tournament. That list also included UCLA, Indiana, Connecticut and Arizona, which saw its NCAA-leading string of appearances snapped at 25 years. It will mark the first time since 1966 that all five of those big-name schools failed to make the tournament.

According to the committee, Kansas (32-2) is the favorite to win its second national title in three years. Kansas opens Thursday against No. 16 Lehigh in the Midwest regional. No. 1 seeds are undefeated in the first round since 1985, when the field first was expanded to 64 teams. Led by freshman John Wall, Kentucky (32-2) won its 26th SEC tournament and is in good position for its eighth national title. Kentucky, winner of 13 of its last 14 games, opens Thursday against East Tennessee State. The winner of that game will play the winner of No. 8 Texas vs. No. 9 Wake Forest. Duke and coach Mike Krzyzewski are seeking their first trip to the Final Four since 2004 and first national title since 2001. Led by Jon Scheyer and Kyle Singler, the Blue Devils (29-5) have won 12 of their last 13 and will open Friday against the winner of the play-in game. Among the bubble teams missing the tournament were Virginia Tech, Illinois and Mississippi State, which lost twice in overtime to Kentucky, including a 75-74 loss in the SEC tournament final Sunday.

Brown’s jumper gives Liberty Big South title HIGH POINT (AP) – Liberty looked poised to end its string of close calls in the Big South championship game when it was up by 20 points with less than 10 minutes left. Little did anyone know the Flames would need a redshirt freshman to hit the first game-winning shot of her career to continue their dominance. Devon Brown stopped Liberty’s second-half meltdown with a bankedin runner with 4 seconds left to snap a tie, and the Flames beat GardnerWebb 68-66 on Sunday for its 13th Big South title in 14 years. The second-seeded Flames’ 10th straight victory wasn’t secured until Monique Hudson missed a runner at the buzzer for the top-seeded Lady Bulldogs (28-4), who saw their 16-game winning streak snapped

and their hopes for a first NCAA tournament berth squashed despite a remarkable comeback. And it was eerily similar finish to last year, when Hudson’s sister Dominique missed a shot at the buzzer in Gardner-Webb’s 51-50 loss to Liberty in the title game. The year before, Liberty got a hoop in the closing seconds for a 66-65 win over Radford. Liberty’s 2006 title was a 53-50 victory over High Point. “It’s what the championship games usually turn out to be, very close,� said Liberty coach Carey Green, who improved to 30-1 in the Big South tournament. Tournament MVP Brown had 24 points and eight rebounds for the Flames. Dominique Hudson scored 17 points and Margaret Roundtree and Monique Hudson added 13 apiece for G-W.

The Quakers (30-2) will play Williams College (291) on Friday at 5 p.m. the Salem (Va.) Civic Center.

Dodd seeks banking compromise WASHINGTON (AP) – The senator trying to rewrite the nation’s financial industry rules is dropping plans to create a stand-alone consumer financial protection agency and give a single regulator the power to oversee all banks, according to people familiar with the evolving proposal. Backing away from the proposal he offered four months ago, the chairman of the Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee is now incorporating GOP ideas, and yet not one Republican senator is coming along so far. Sen. Christopher Dodd’s new regulatory scheme, expected to be released today, follows months of bipartisan negotiations that abruptly ended last week when he said it was time for his committee to consider a bill. The legislation, a priority for President Barack Obama, aims to avoid a repeat of the financial crisis that caused the Wall Street meltdown 18 months ago. Those familiar with the plan described it on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly. The details, they said, remained in flux. Dodd, who’s not running for re-election this

Senate Banking Committee Chairman Christopher Dodd, D-Conn., (left) delivers an opening statement during a committee hearing in 2009 on Capitol Hill in Washington. Dodd today is expected to announce his regulatory proposal after months of bipartisan negotiations. fall, is planting himself squarely between a united bloc of Republicans on his committee and Democrats who have insisted on a strong, autonomous consumer agency. He’s also facing Democratic pressure from outside his committee to take stronger measures to cut down

the size of banks and to limit their activities. In a signal that Republicans were not yet prepared to support Dodd’s efforts, the committee’s 10 Republicans urged Dodd in a letter Friday not to push the bill through before the Easter recess, which begins March 27.

Dodd wants to create a special council that would watch over the financial markets, looking for trouble spots that could threaten the economy. The council would have an independent chairman appointed by the president. Members would include the treasury secretary, the chairman of the

Federal Reserve, and the heads of several regulatory agencies. The Fed, which would have lost all its regulatory powers under Dodd’s initial plan, would emerge with fewer banks to supervise, but retain the power to oversee some of the largest nonbank financial institutions.

Investors turn attention to Fed meeting NEW YORK (AP) – The stock market doesn’t want any surprises from this week’s Federal Reserve’s meeting. It is widely expected that the Fed will keep the fed funds rate, its key lending rate, at a historic low near zero when it meets on Tuesday. That means investors and analysts will again pore over the economic assessment statement the Fed releases. They’ll be looking for changes to the Fed’s wording and its members’ voting patterns to get a sense of when rates might go up. “It’s a nonevent,” said Paul Wachtel, a professor

of economics at New York University’s Stern School of Business, of expectations for the Fed’s rate decision. “If they change the comments, it has a bigger impact.” Investors are well aware that the Fed will eventually have to hike interest rates. The economy will get to a point where it is strong enough to grow, and higher inflation is usually a natural result of expanding economic activity. The market has already factored in a rate hike as they sent stock prices higher the past few weeks. Still, while they’re prepared for rates to go up at some point, investors are

likely to react badly in the short term to any indications that a rate hike is in the offing. So, “the tone of the minutes are being microanalyzed” by investors, said Randy Bateman, chief investment officer at Huntington Asset Advisors. During the central bank’s most recent meeting, in January, Kansas City Federal Reserve President Thomas Hoenig dissented from the committee’s decision to keep rates stable. He said the economy has recovered enough that low rates for “an extended period” are no longer necessary.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Federal Reserve policymakers may signal at their meeting this week how and when the improving economy will lead them to start raising record-low interest rates. Higher rates are still months away, Chairman Ben Bernanke and other Fed officials have signaled in appearances on Capitol Hill and in speeches. They’ve indicated that low rates are still required to foster the economic rebound. Yet once the recovery is firmly entrenched, Fed policymakers will need to raise rates to keep inflation in check. Before they do, they first will want to signal that credit will soon be tightened. The trick is doing so without jolting investors and borrowers, who would face higher rates on certain credit cards, some mortgages and other loans. How best to telegraph the approach of higher rates is likely to dominate discussions when Bernanke and his colleagues meet Tuesday. In particular, the Fed will decide whether to keep, or water down, its year-long pledge to keep rates at “exceptionally low” levels for an “extended period.” Economists generally think “extended period” means at least six more months. The Fed could drop that commitment altogether. Or it could pledge to keep rates low for “some time,” which is viewed as briefer than an extended period. Or it could change its language in some other way to stress that credit will be tightened when the time is right. Any such step would send a signal that the days of easy money are fading.

Connecticut may waive student loans for ‘green’ workers HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) – Paul Goulet hopes Connecticut will help him get from under nearly $8,000 he’s borrowed for college after losing his job in a paper manufacturing plant. Goulet, 55, is a student in environmental studies at Goodwin College in East Hartford, aiming to find work in wastewater treatment. State legislation that would waive thousands of dollars in loans would benefit him and other students who earn degrees or certificates in green technology and other jobs. “Everything I’ve taken out since October is on the student loan program,” he said. “Any little bit would help, especially

with the job market the way it is.” Loan forgiveness programs aren’t new – states use them to entice medical professionals to rural areas, steer teachers to certain subject areas and attract farmers to local agriculture. The legislation comes as the White House is emphasizing the importance of green works and job creation. President Barack Obama announced in January $2.3 billion in tax credits – to be paid for from last year’s $787 billion stimulus package – that he said would create 17,000 green jobs. The money will go to projects including solar, wind and energy management. Connecticut’s proposal could

break new ground. Trying to boost its work force in highgrowth green technology, life sciences and health information technology, the state would annually forgive as much as $2,500 of federal and state education loans for up to four years, or 5 percent of loans, whichever is less. To qualify, students must earn a bachelor’s or associate’s degree and work in Connecticut for at least two years. Joan McDonald, economic development commissioner, said Connecticut is seeking to boost its population of young workers. “What we’re doing here is to encourage people to come here and stay here,” she said.

The legislation, which would earmark $6 million, cites green technology, life science and health information technology because prospects are good for job growth in those industries and Connecticut is home to employers in fuel cell technology, pharmaceutical products and other high-tech industries, she said. The bill is not a sure thing in the legislature. Members of the House-Senate Committee on Higher Education and Employment Advancement will decide by March 16 whether to bring it up for a vote, said Sen. Mary Ann Handley, co-chairwoman of the committee. Retraining unemployed work-

ers is the focus of another bill that would provide more immediate help to the jobless, she said. “We need to think about what direction to go,” Handley said. Loan forgiveness for massive medical school loans is succeeding in drawing doctors and other health professionals to underserved rural and urban areas. David Bowman, a spokesman for the Health Resources and Services Administration, said the National Health Service Corps is budgeted for $142 million and has received $300 million in economic stimulus money.

Chinese company takes $3.1 billion stake in oil firm HONG KONG (AP) – Leading offshore producer China National Offshore Oil Corp. said Sunday it has agreed to pay $3.1 billion to form a joint-venture with a major Argentine energy firm, helping to expand China’s access to natural resources in South America.

The investment will give CNOOC a 50 percent stake in Bridas Corp., which is currently controlled by Bridas Energy Holdings Ltd., the Chinese firm said in a statement to the Hong Kong stock exchange. The joint-venture company will be jointly man-

aged by CNOOC and Bridas Energy. Bridas Corp. currently has oil and gas exploration and production operations in Argentina, Bolivia and Chile. The deal meshes with CNOOC’s plan to reach into Latin American and grow overseas, the company said.

Red River rise has residents on guard FARGO, N.D. (AP) – The Red River is rising – and so is the anxiety level for residents in North Dakota and Minnesota who dealt with record flooding last year. A National Weather Service forecast shows the river rising to a peak of 38 feet in Fargo next

Saturday before it starts to level off or drop. That’s 8 feet above major flood stage. Residents in the FargoMoorhead area stacked about 6 million sandbags last year to hold off the flooding, when the river topped 40 feet.

The region mopped up Sunday following a bout with high wind and heavy rains that uprooted trees, downed power lines and flooded some creeks and rivers. Six people died in storm-related accidents and hundreds of thousands were without electricity.

ATLANTA (AP) – Many Americans with leaky heart valves soon might be able to get them fixed without open-heart surgery. A study showed that a tiny clip implanted through an artery was safer and nearly as effective as surgery, doctors reported Sunday. The device is already on sale in Europe, and its maker, Abbott Laboratories, hopes to win approval to sell it in the United States next year. Elizabeth Taylor reportedly got one last fall – the 77-year-old actress told fans about it on Twitter. About 8 million people in the U.S. and Europe have leaky mitral valves – the valve between the heart’s left upper and lower chambers. Not all are so bad they need treatment, but the worst cases
