TRIAD – The 2010 election season for voters officially kicks off Thursday morning when early voting begins, leading up to the May 4 primaries. Early voting, known formally as one-stop absentee voting, commences at several locations in Davidson, Guilford and Randolph counties. Voters will narrow the number of candidates in Democratic and Republican contests and some unaffiliated races, deciding who advances to the Nov. 2 general election. The contests range from Republican and Democratic primaries for the U.S. Senate and state legislative districts to races for county sheriffs and boards of commissioners. In Guilford County, the only location for early voting Thursday will be the High Point office of the Guilford County Board of Elections in the courthouse downtown. The polling place opens at 8 a.m. Satellite early voting locations, including one at the Roy Culler Jr. Senior Center in High Point, open April 24. In Davidson County, early voting starts at 8 a.m. Thursday at the board of elections office at 912 Greensboro St. in downtown Lexington. Satellite locations open at 10 a.m. April 19 at the Thomasville Public Library and Midway Fire Department. Several early voting polls open Thursday in Randolph County, including one for voters in the northern part of the county at the Arch-

The turnout for early voting in the primary could provide a barometer on what type of election season will play out this year, said Matthew DeSantis, assistant professor of political science at High Point University. “The first thing you can tell with early voting is who’s getting mobilized. The voters who are most enthusiastic are the ones voting in the primaries,” DeSantis said. For example, one indicator to watch is if many early voters in Republican primaries are coming out of

the conservative Tea Party movement. The Greensboro Tea Party chapter will stage a rally at 5:30 p.m. Thursday at the Governmental Plaza in downtown Greensboro to correspond with the deadline day for income tax filing and start of early voting. Turnout for primaries in nonpresidential election years usually ranks among some of the smallest turnouts. Since 1990, nonpresidential primary turnout in North Carolina has ranged from 8 percent in 1998 to 21 percent in 2002, according to State Board of Elections figures.

postmarked by April 15, said USPS spokesperson Elona Rice. But the numbers of those who use the post office’s extended hours on that day has dwindled, she said. “For the past several years, we’ve been scaling back on the number of post offices offering services after hours,” Rice said. “We’ve found the number of customers using services late on April 15 don’t justify keeping the offices opened late.”

Rice attributes the drop in traffic to popular electronic filing software, which saves filers a trip to the post office altogether by submitting their tax returns online. Traffic at post offices during the day, however, still is heavy, she said. “Electronic filing is very popular now,” she said. “It (scaling back extended hours) is also because

THOMASVILLE – After discussing the issue several times during the last two years, the Thomasville City Council next week will consider implementing a business license program that would mandate all business owners purchase permits from the city. During its pregenda meeting Monday, City Council decided to consider at their meeting next week an ordinance that supports the issuance of business permits. The ordinance, which would become effective July 1 if City Council approves it, states permits would not be issued until Oct. 1. Although permits wouldn’t be issued until October, annual fees for the year July 1, 2010, through June 30, 2011, would not be prorated, according to the proposed ordinance. In subsequent years after the implementation of the

ordinance, new businesses will be eligible to be prorated “half the amount otherwise due” if it begins after Jan. 1 and before July 1, the ordinance states. Last month, the city’s Personnel/Finance Committee agreed during a spe-

BEAT THE RUSH

The IRS offers these tips for taxpayers who are filing their returns at the last minute: Consider Free File or e-filing. Electronic filing may be an easier option for those who can’t make it to the post office in time. E-filing can be done any time from a home computer. Free File is available at www.IRS.gov to anyone whose 2009 adjusted gross income was $57,000 or less. Learn about tax breaks. Last year’s American Recovery and Reinvestment Act created a full slate of tax breaks, which can be claimed on tax returns right now. Some of the tax breaks include the homebuyer credit and the making work pay credit. Be on the lookout for scams. The IRS will only contact taxpayers by snail mail. Any phone calls or e-mails soliciting personal information regarding tax season are scams. Contact the IRS with concerns about scams.

S.R. was born January 16, 1925 in Charlotte, a son of Ernest Colvin Walton and Ruby Sherrill Walton. He was a Navy veteran of World War II and he retired from Gilbarco. S.R. was a private pilot and a member of the Civil Air Patrol. He was preceded in death by his wife, Jane Blair Walton, his parents, two brothers, Gene and Don Walton, and two sisters, Helen Steelman and Evelyn Cable. Surviving are three sons, Cyrus C.

who implement business privilege programs eliminated the possibility of a totally flat system. If the City Council approves the ordinance for the business permits, it would need to approve $24,000 to purchase a computer application and hire an additional staff person to administer the program. In 2008, the City Council decided to table the proposal until it heard if the state was going to take over implementing business privilege programs among cities and counties, but the issue didn’t gain any ground in the N.C. General Assembly, causing the council to revisit the matter during its retreat earlier this year. The City Council will meet at 7 p.m. Monday at the City Council Chambers inside the Thomasville Police Department.

Those last-minute filers should remember to do their homework, however, he said. “Remember to learn about provisions from the Recovery and Reinvestment Act,” Hanson said. “This added new tax breaks like the making work pay credit.” Last-minute filers also may want to consider filing electronically, Hanson added. “E-filing is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week,” he said. “You could be submitting your tax returns at 11:59 p.m. on April 15 and still be done on time.”

US delegation to visit Moscow to discuss adoptions

MOSCOW (AP) – A delegation of high-level State Department officials will visit Moscow for consultations after Russia threatened to freeze adoptions for U.S. families, the U.S. Embassy said Monday.

Thousands flee Pakistan military offensive ISLAMABAD – More than 200,000 people have fled Pakistan’s latest offensive against Taliban militants in the northwest, the United Nations said Monday, as fresh clashes in the remote region killed 41 insurgents and six soldiers. Elsewhere in the northwest, a suspected U.S. missile killed five alleged militants in a house in North Waziristan, the latest in a series of strikes in the region.

Russia threatened Friday to suspend all such adoptions after a 7-yearold boy adopted by a Tennessee woman was sent alone on a flight back to Moscow with a note saying he was violent and had severe psychological prob-

lems. The case has caused outrage in Russia. U.S. Ambassador John Beyrle said in a statement Monday that the delegation will discuss a possible agreement or bilateral understanding to ensure the wellbeing of Russian children.

Thanks for a president who says we are not a Christian country. A president who is all about himself. Who would have funded abortions and killed our unborn children. One who once asked to cut our veterans benefits. One who, if he had his way, would take care from the elderly. One who puts us as a welfare country, owing billions for our children and grandchildren to pay back. Thank you for throwing away everything our forefathers died to give us. For turning us from a super power to a laughing stock nation filled with evil and debt. For putting us on government control and losing our freedom so many died for us to have. Since you have hit rock bottom, may I suggest you vote back in a sheriff with a felon conviction. Keep up the good work. Obamacare is coming, so enjoy

your change. You’ve got it coming. CARL TYSINGER Trinity

Asking gay people to give up love is cruel Sinners! That’s what a lot of Christians call gay people (Ron Abee, “The most renowned theologian is Jesus Christ”, March 28; Dave Cecil, “God expects us to live by the Bible,” April 3; Ray Alcon, “The correct Bible speaks plainly, clearly,” April 5; and bill Moore, “God’s denunciation of homosexuality is very clear,” April 6). Unfortunately, I know all too well what it means to be labeled a sinner as well as the monstrous damage that this label inflicts emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually upon my gay brothers and sisters. The proposition that same-gender love is a sin is so logically

flawed it should embarrass any Christian. Sin hurts someone. If you lie, steal or cheat, someone gets hurt. Who is hurt when two consenting men or two consenting women love and cherish each other? Virtually all other behaviors Christians typically consider sinful can be clearly and objectively understood as wrong. Take away their Bible and there is nothing upon which to base their claim that same-gender love is wrong. Asking gay people to give up love isn’t at all like asking them to give up booze, or greed or aother such negative thing. It’s asking them to give up what most people understand as pretty much the best thing life has to offer. I’d wake up every morning next to no one. I’d never kiss or be kissed by someone special. I’d never cuddle up with someone who meant more to me than anyone else in the world. I would never know the profound pleasure

of growing older with the only person in the world with whom I shared the deepest aspects of my life. That’s what Christians mean when they say we should give up the gay “lifestyle.” They are saying, “thou shalt not love!” CRIS F. ELKINS Greensboro

Anyone ever remember seeing Nelville Chamberlain in old news reels of 1938 holding a piece of paper in his hand claiming “Peace in our time”? He had just come back from Germany making a deal with Adolf Hitler. He was negotiating from a position of weakness, not power. We should remember that in a war, the winner writes the history of it and fashions the hanging rope, the loser stretches it. KEN SAWYER High Point

Vocational classes appear to be an important ingredient in enhancing the SCALE Academy curriculum that would help students return to their home schools quicker and build on the success the school already has had.

Obama weakens America

OUR VIEW

ther factors, particularly home furnishings companies that had produced goods locally shifting production offshore, contributed considerably to rising unemployment figures before the recession began in late 2007. As a result, the recession’s seemed to impact High Point and the rest of the inner Triad more gradually over a longer time period than for many other areas of the nation. Now that U.S. Labor Department reports reveal that American employers added 162,000 net jobs in March, the best performance in almost 30 months, the economy – in some locales, at least – appears to be turning the corner. We don’t want to dash your hopes but there are few signs of recovery locally, with the unemployment rate remaining stagnant at 11.8 percent in Guilford County, down one-tenth percent to 11.8 in High Point and up two tenths in Davidson and Randolph counties. And it’s difficult to tell how many people locally simply have given up trying to find a job and no longer are included in Employment Security Commission numbers. The High Point Market, officially held April 17-22, should be boosting at least temporary employment in the greater High Point area for about three weeks. Perhaps after market, especially if the semiannual event is busy enough to boost sales and spirits, we will be able to see some improvement in the local economy. Hope springs eternal ...

More charter schools provide path to the top

A

fter the Obama administration announced that Tennessee and Delaware were the initial winners of Race to the Top grants, Gov. Beverly Perdue restated her intention to claim a share of the federal funds in the second round of the process. “We clearly made a strong showing, and with more than $3 billion up for grabs in June, we will be back,” the governor said. Some 10 to 15 states will be able to claim some of the $3.4 billion available in that second round. If the governor and other state officials want to increase their odds of success significantly, all they need to do is wipe away North Carolina’s statewide cap of 100 charter schools – and make sure their allies in organized labor don’t raise a stink about it. That’s all. Look at the math in the initial round. North Carolina’s application received a score of 414 out of 500 possible points, ranking the state 12th. The charter-school section

If governor, state officials have the will, they can make good things happen in education. of the application is worth a maximum of 40 points. North Carolina scored only a 23, compared to Tennessee’s 30 and Delaware’s 31. It’s true that even if our state had received a perfect score, the extra 17 points would have left us 13 points below Tennessee’s 444. But in the next round, with more slots available and money at stake, an extra 7 to 17 points could well make the difference. As the nonprofit Parents for Educational Freedom has pointed out, there’s plenty of time for North Carolina to improve its application. The deadline for the next round is

June 1. The legislative session convenes in May. State lawmakers and the governor can send a clear message of support for public-school choice by taking immediate action to lift the charter-school cap. Unfortunately, presenting a good reform plan is insufOPINION ficient for a state to secure a share of the funds. Under Race John to the Top, “stakeholder supHood port” for applications is also ■■■ factored into the final score. That means state officials have to make sure that local school boards and teacher unions are on board. Not surprisingly, given the deference North Carolina politicians have traditionally paid to the education establishment, our state’s initial application received near-universal approval from the “stakeholders” – a category that, revealingly, does not appear to include students, parents, or taxpayers. Allowing the creation of more charter schools will hardly budge the establishment’s vise-like grip on North Carolina education. What it will do is give many students and their families hope for a better educational future. There are thousands of families on waiting lists for the oversubscribed charter schools we already have, and thousands more in counties where no charter schools have yet been allowed to operate. These North Carolinians deserve the opportunity to choose educational options that they think will better serve the needs of their children. The fact that extending this opportunity to them may also brighten North Carolina’s fiscal outlook a bit should be merely an extra incentive for Perdue and the General Assembly to do the right thing.

Ukraine’s move boosts nuke summit WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama optimistically opened a 47-nation nuclear summit Monday, boosted by Ukraine’s announcement that it will give up its weapons-grade uranium. More sobering: The White House counterterror chief warned that al-Qaida is vigorously pursuing ingredients and expertise for a bomb. At the same time, Obama and Chinese President Hu Jintao sought agreement on potential sanctions to discourage Iran’s efforts.

March budget deficit declines to $65.4B WASHINGTON – The budget deficit for March showed a dramatic decline as the Obama administration formally entered a lower ultimate cost for the government’s $700 billion financial bailout program. The Treasury Department said the deficit for March totaled $65.4 billion, compared to a $191.6 billion imbalance a year ago. However, $115 billion of that improvement occurred because the administration lowered its estimate of the total costs for the Troubled Asset Relief Program.

Officials mull land purchase Site would be used for new middle, high schools in northern Davidson County BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

DAVIDSON COUNTY – The Davidson County Board of Commissioners tonight will consider a request from the Davidson County Board of Education to purchase 133 acres for a new middle and high school in the northern part of the county. Last month, the school board agreed to ask commissioners to purchase the Michael Long property on Midway School Road, located near the Hoy Long Road intersection. The land will cost Davidson County approximately $2.35 million, according

to Max Walser, chairman of the Davidson County Board of Commissioners. A committee, comprised of Walser, school board members Kenny Meredith and Allan Thompson and Commissioner Billy Joe Kepley, identified the property as the top site out of about half a dozen choices, Kepley said. If commissioners purchase the land, school officials would like to build a new middle and high school to alleviate overcrowding in the North Davidson and Ledford school districts. “We had to find some land because we have two schools up there that are just bulging – North

Davidson and Ledford,” Kepley said. “We’ve got to build a high school, so we were desperate to find land. That looked like a good piece of land not only to build a high school, but we would have enough land to build a needed mid-

dle school sometime in the future.” Walser said he “absolutely” supports the purchase of the land. “We have found this piece of land that is about 130 acres that has close access to sewage and water,”

he said. “I just think it’s a step in the right direction for the future of the kids in the northern part of the county, where we are very crowded. We have seven lunch periods at North Davidson High School every day. ... We should have done this already, but hopefully we can start with the middle school in the foreseeable future.” Walser said the money for the purchase of land is already included in the county’s budget, coming from the 2005 bond referendum. The county will need another bond referendum or another source of funding from commissioners to build the schools, Fred Mock, superintendent of Davidson County Schools, said last month.

BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – County commissioners will consider Thursday calling on state officials to limit damage to local governments if the state makes any changes in the Alcoholic Beverage Control system. Only North Carolina gives a liquor sales monopoly to local governments. The Guilford County Board of Commissioners will consider the resolution during a 5:30 p.m. meeting in the Old Courthouse. Following several management scandals, a legislative committee in Raleigh is considering giving the state more power to make changes in local ABC boards. Although legislators have discussed whether North Carolina’s liquor stores should be retail operations, the actual legislation focuses on state and local controls. Gov. Beverly Perdue has hired a consulting firm to estimate the value of the ABC system should the state choose to sell it. The county resolution, which mentions Greensboro and High Point ABC operations, calls on the committee to “thoroughly study any proposed changes to the current method of local ABC board management” and “to thoroughly investigate and consider the existing assets, leases, real estate buildings, personnel and other assets, liabilities and obligations of local ABC systems.” The mayors of Greensboro and High Point spoke to the committee last month. Both support the current system and worry where local governments will get the revenue if sales go to retail stores. The resolution calls on the state to hold local governments “harmless” from any changes, including “outstanding liabilities and all lost future revenues.” The committee is scheduled to make a recommendation to state lawmakers after the General Assembly convenes in May. dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

The takeover of Beach First National Bank in Myrtle Beach, S.C., marks Bank of North Carolina’s first foray outside of the state, although the bank has been expanding in North Carolina, like this branch on Lindsay Street built just a few years ago.

Branching out Bank of North Carolina expands with takeover BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

THOMASVILLE – Bank of North Carolina has become the second Piedmont financial institution in less than a year to work with federal regulators in taking over the assets and operation of a troubled bank. On Friday, Bank of North Carolina, a wholly owned subsidiary of BNC Bancorp, arranged through the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. to substantially buy all of the assets and to assume substantially all of the deposits and other liabilities of Beach First National Bank out of Myrtle Beach, S.C. The operations in South Carolina of the former Beach First reopened Monday as BNC Bank. “This transaction positions our company for the next stage of its development,” said BNC Bancorp President and Chief Executive Officer Swope Montgomery. “We have established the proper mix of financial strength, credit conservatism and thoughtful expansion to build a company that is large enough to serve larger commercial customers while maintaining our core roots as a community bank. “We see additional opportunities to serve customers in attrac-

Homer Watkins Jr. HIGH POINT – Homer Watkins, Jr. of Westchester Manor at Providence Place died Tuesday, April 6, 2010. Born April 23, 1924, in Cedartown, GA, the son of Major Homer Watkins and Lois Mundy Watkins Smith both deceased. Also deceased is one sister, Martha Watkins Veale. Coming from a big military background, with his father (a Major) serving in World War I and his Uncle, George Mundy, a three-star General in WWII, it was only natural for Homer to want to serve his country. He adored his father and was very proud of him. From 1939-1941 he attended and graduated from the Georgia Military Academy in College Park, GA. While at the academy, he was one of many cadets to stand guard at the Lowe’s Theatre for the Atlanta Premiere of the movie Gone With the Wind. Homer had planned to be a doctor; but his plans were changed after his first year at Duke University in 1941, when his beloved father fell ill and died. He served three years with the United States Army during World War II, proudly serving with the 406 Anti-tank Division in the 102nd Infantry. After combat training in Texas, he moved to Washington DC for nearly a year of college at the Catholic University, and then moved on to New York City to go to Europe. For two years he helped play an important role driving 2 1/2 ton trucks called the Red Ball Express filled with ammunition, food, medicine, and other personal supplies making two trips to and from ( 10 miles each way) to our brave soldiers on the front lines. Homer never forgot the men and women that were wounded or killed or fought serving their country. He kept in touch with all the men he could find writing newsletters, calling family members and his friends. He always thanked them for their service and praised them for their bravery. He especially loved writing to the young sons of his fallen friends to tell them anything he could about the father they never knew. In his eyes, their fathers were heroes that needed to be remembered. After the occupation of Germany, his company lived with the townspeople for a short time. He learned to speak German which he loved to practice with anyone that could speak it or was willing to let him teach them a few words. He said it kept his mind alert. He was in the town of Gardelengern, Germany where his troops had to witness the massacre of 1000 political prisoners that had been machine gunned and some burned alive in a barn. The townspeople had to maintain

Catch up with the latest TV sports program schedules and sports scoreboard daily in

the graves for the whole world to see. Our soldiers were to tell the story of this massacre when they returned home as eyewitness proof that this horror actually occurred and that no one could deny it happened. Homer loved writing school children and scouts after they visited him to thank them and to share with them his military stories. He would tell them that although war is devastating, not to be discouraged from serving their country. He would tell them their country is the greatest country in the world, and to love it and serve proudly. There will always be those that hate Freedom and what our country holds dear. He told them to explore their history and embrace it. Someday they may have their own story to tell children that come to visit them. He would tell them, “ May your lives be filled with happiness and adventures that do not haunt your dreams, but enough sadness to appreciate the life God gave you.” It was so important to Homer that we continue to praise and honor our service men and women in every way we can. To thank them ALL- those living as well as those that gave their all. After the war, he was a 1949 graduate of The Georgia Institute of Technology with a Bachelor degree in Chemical Engineering. He married the “love of his life”, Joy Dansby, December 20, 1948. Joy died April 4, 2010. They adored each other. He would constantly hold her hand and tell her he loved her no matter where they were. He would “light up” at the mention of her name. She was his “Joy”. Homer was employed by Burlington Industries as a cost accountant. Burlington moved them frequently. They lived in Burlington, Gastonia, Greensboro, and Asheboro. His next move was Madison, but he would live in High Point. This would finally be home for his family in 1968. He retired in 1989 after 39 years with Burlington Industries. While living at the Westchester Manor at Providence Place, Homer was known by the staff as the “social butterfly” or the “Mayor of the Manor”. He made it his business to see that everything was running smoothly and all lights were working. If something needed fixing, he made sure it was fixed. He made friends easily, and made daily visits to friends or sought out new friends. He encouraged everyone to do their

best while showering them with appreciation and praise for all the hard work they were doing. He also made sure they knew about his passion for Georgia Tech at game time. and even had them cheering for his team to win. He treasured all the Georgia Tech gifts he received from staff and friends. He was a big Atlanta Braves fan, but his heart belonged to Georgia Tech. Homer was a member of Christ United Methodist Church. He and Joy also belonged to the Young at Heart group, taking a few vacation bus trips with the group. They really enjoyed the fellowship and fun. They loved eating out, and especially enjoyed eating at the “Fish Camp” Captain Tom’s in Kernersville. the waitresses were always so good to them, and made them feel like family. They were so excited to get to go the week before they died. It had been a long time since they were able to go anywhere together. They were like teenagers on their first date. Homer was a real Southern Gentleman. Always loving, tender-hearted, kind, and honest; but the best thing about him, he was OUR HERO and we loved him with all our heart. He is survived by a son Homer “Chip” Watkins III and wife Gloria Kearns Watkins; a daughter Lois Elliott “Lew” Watkins; a grandson Omar Elmokashfi; a granddaughter Charlotte Emily Zweber Chavis and husband Jimmie Chavis; and a greatgrandson Aaron Chavis. A memorial service to celebrate Homer’s life will be at 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, April 15th in the Sanctuary of Christ United Methodist Church with the Reverend Dr. Perry Miller and Reverend Joseph M. Kay officiating. The family will receive friends at the church immediately following the service. An Inurnment Service will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Thursday, April 22nd in Christ United Methodist Church Columbarium. The family expresses their deep appreciation to all the staff at Westchester Manor at Providence Place for their love, friendship, and devotion to our dear father. In lieu of flowers, please send memorials to Christ United Methodist Church, 1300 N. College Dr. High Point, NC 27262 to the Building Fund or to the Choir Fund.

ear Abby: I am writing about the letter from “Afraid to Be Alone� (Feb. 15), who is moving to a new state and has no family except for her husband. As a teacher of health policy and administration, I agree that she shouldn’t be overanxious about her future to the point of distraction. There are concrete steps she and her husband can take to protect themselves and have some security as they age. These include purchasing long-term care insurance, creating a living will and medical power of attorney, and communicating their wishes about heroic measures should either of them ever face that decision. They should also look into moving to a continuing care retirement community (CCRC), most of which have differing levels of care – from assisted living to nursing home care – with guaranteed access to its members. These are just a few of the steps “Afraid� could take now to give herself some peace of mind. – Chris in Pennsylvania Dear Chris: Thank you for your helpful suggestions.

Learn how to prevent shin splints BY EMMA W. WHITE

I

f you’ve ever had shin splints, you probably never want to have them again. Now that it’s getting warmer, I can’t think of a better thing to do than get out and pound the pavement. Shin splints are a fairly common problem for runners. The common term is used for several dozen lower-leg problems, ranging from nerve irritations to tendonitis to stress fractures. Shin splints are the result of injury to the muscle in front of the outer leg beside the shin bone (tibia). It is an over-use syndrome caused by a local inflammatory response to stresses from repetitive micro-traumas. Micro-trauma is created when continued demand is placed on the tissue before it has adequately healed, so the pain and inflammation continue. Those most susceptible are the beginner runner and/or the runner who resumes training after a long layoff. The muscle and the sheath (lining) that encases it become irritated, resulting in pain that can be described as dull, aching or razor-sharp. The pain may decrease to some degree after warming up, but typically it returns after the completion of a workout or run. What exactly causes shin splints? • Muscle imbalances or fatigue due to tight Achilles and calf muscles; • Weak ankle muscles; • Inexperienced, beginning runners; • Running on uneven terrain; • A sudden increase in faster running (speed work); • A sudden change from running on soft to hard surfaces; • Improper footwear for the ground or functional demands placed on the foot; • Excessive uphill running; • Poor running mechanics and/or training errors, which could involve running with an excessive forward lean, excessive weight on the ball of the foot, running with toes pointed outward, landing too far back on the heels causing the foot to flap down and bending forward too far. Remember shin splints are a type of overuse injury to the leg, with the pain along the side of the shin bone. The best way to deal with them is to do what it takes to prevent them in the first place. Good luck as you pound the pavement.

German exchange students stay busy Westchester Country Day School and Northwest Guilford High School welcomed 23 German exchange students to High Point on March 15. German students were paired with Westchester and Northwest students with similar interests. During their stay, the German students attended classes with their partners, took a group trip to Charleston, S.C., and visited local attractions such as Wake Forest University, Old Salem and the capitol in Raleigh. Many local businesses, including Krispy Kreme and

Thomas Built Buses, opened their doors for the students. Westchester students will visit their German partners in June, when they will attend their partners’ German school and learn about the history of Augsburg and the Bavarian region. Pictured at the welcoming reception are (from left) Meghan Caffey, Angelika Pfeil, Josipa Milicevic, Vera Vogt, Haleigh Breece and Leah Caffey.

Vitamin D, the wonder vitamin

D

ear Dr. Donohue: My wife is in her 40s and is healthy. Her doctor found out that her vitamin D level is very low and put her on a very high dose of vitamin D. What is vitamin D for, and what happens if you don’t get enough of it? – P.K.

BLONDIE

A deluge of questions arrive daily about vitamin D. I wrote about it last week, but it’s a topic worth repeating. When the ultraviolet rays of the sun strike the skin, they change an embryonic form of vitamin D into vitamin D-3. The liver converts D-3 to vitamin D-2. Then the kidneys convert D-2 into active vitamin D. One the vitamin’s chief jobs is to enhance the absorption of calcium so that bones become and remain strong. In the bad old days, when vitamin D was hard to come by, a deficiency led to rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults. Both come from insufficient calcium incorporation into bones. Rickets leaves children with soft bones and bowed legs. Osteomalacia causes bone pain, broken bones and muscle weakness. Neither is seen to the extent they once were. Osteoporosis is a little like osteomalacia, but they are two different processes. A deficiency of vitamin D also contributes to osteoporosis. Few foods, unless they are fortified with the vitamin, have much vitamin D in them. People living in northern climates make little to no vitamin D in the winter because their exposure to sunlight isn’t great. Older people can become

deficient because their skin doesn’t respond to sunlight as it does in younger days and HEALTH because the amount of Dr. Paul the skin’s Donohue vitamin D ■■■ precursor has diminished. At least one-third of adults has a vitamin D deficiency, and even more elderly people have too little of the vitamin stored in their bodies. Vitamin D has other important functions. It lowers blood pressure and prevents diabetes. It might be involved in maintaining heart health, but this is something that requires more proof. Restoring the body’s depot of vitamin D requires taking high doses – 50,000 IU once a week for six to eight weeks. After that, the daily recommended intake is 1,000 IU. Dear Dr. Donohue: Through blood testing, my doctor discovered that my vitamin D level was low. He prescribed tablets containing 50,000 IU. I am very nervous about taking such a high dose. Could it further damage my kidneys, which are functioning at only 39 percent of normal? – N.P. High doses of vitamin D taken for prolonged periods can impair kidney function and can raise blood calcium to a too-high level. The high doses you mention are not taken for a long time. Usually they’re given

once a week for six to eight weeks. At that point, the daily dose is 1,000 IU, a dose higher than the official recommendations that now stand. Those old, official recommendations are considered to be inadequate, and new standards are going to be published. Dear Dr. Donohue: I am writing because I can’t get help from anyone. I am in good health and sexually active. I am 67 years old. My problem is that I am starting to have a low sperm count. What can I do to build up my sperm? I feel like I am half a man. Please let me know. – C. I don’t believe you mean sperm count. Sperm counts are done to check a man’s fertility, the ability to father a child. They require microscopic examination of seminal fluid. You’re not wanting to become a father at 67, are you? Men can have children at older ages, but the chances are far less than they are in younger years. Sperm production declines with age. I believe you’re talking about the volume of seminal fluid. Age also contributes to a decline of it. Most of the semen is produced by structures called the seminal vesicles and by the prostate gland. The volume of seminal fluid has little to do with sexual potency. Nothing can be done to increase its volume. A lessening of the amount of seminal fluid should not affect relations and should not be considered a health problem.

HOMASVILLE – Communities in Schools volunteer Mary Jane Akerman knows that to gauge the state of the economy, you need only look at the children in public schools. “You can read in newspapers about the unemployment rate, but we see it every day in the schools, where it’s translated in the lives of children,” says Akerman, who is co-chairwoman of this weekend’s Communities in Schools (CIS) fundraiser. “That’s where CIS steps up to help, and so we’re asking that our community help us do that.” Communities in Schools of Thomasville will host “Dancing in the Moonlight: An Evening of Dining and Dancing Under the Stars,” Saturday evening at the Thomasville home of Dave and Jane Williams, longtime supporters of the CIS program in Thomasville. The evening will include dinner and dancing, with live music provided by The Tom Holladay Orchestra, featuring The Lamplighters. The event is being catered by Pepper Moon Catering, and there will be a winetasting table where guests can sample five different wines for $5. Tickets are $85 apiece, $150 per couple or $600 for a table of 10, and all proceeds will benefit CIS of Thomasville. “Our goal for this year is to raise $20,000,” says Akerman, who co-chairs the event with Donna Blakely. “That’s more than we have made in past years, but as I think many people are finding out, the need is greater. We felt like it was something where we had to set a

So what CIS does is we identify these kids and we buy them shoes, coats, backpacks, help take care of getting the kids to the doctor if the parents can’t afford it, buy them glasses if they need them. “This past year at Christmas was really heartbreaking. Families usually ask for assistance with buying toys, but this year they were saying, ‘We’ve decided we’re not gonna be able to do toys this year, but we would sure appreciate some help with food.’” Partnering with local businesses, faith communities, schools, agencies and volunteers, CIS helps students stay in school and prepare for life by providing mentoring, tutoring, reading partners,

lunch buddies, a pregnancy prevention program, a character education program and life skills. The goal, according to Blakely, is to provide children with five basic things: • A healthy start and a healthy future. • A safe place to learn and grow. • A personal, one-on-one relationship with a caring adult. • A marketable skill to use upon graduation. • An opportunity to give back to their peers and community. Despite the obvious impact of the economy on the Thomasville community, Blakely and Akerman have high hopes for Saturday’s fundraiser. “We’ve been able to increase our corporate sponsors, both in number and amount,” Akerman says. “That’s quite an accomplishment in this economic environment, and I think it says a lot about the community of Thomasville that local businesses have been willing to step up and help us with this event.”

DUMMY ENTRY “East was negligent. If he leads a third spade when he takes the king of diamonds, he forces an entry from dummy prematurely. South can’t use the long diamond and loses a club.” “Guilty,” ruled the judge, “and while you’re at it, charge South. He could take both high trumps, ruff a spade and lead a club from dummy, setting up his 10th trick with the queen. If West had the king, South could

CROSSWORD

Tuesday, April 13, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Kyle Howard, 32; Rick Schroder, 40; Al Green, 64; Paul Sorvino, 71 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: You will thrive on challenges this year and show your best side when faced with problems. Be objective, don’t let your emotions cloud your vision and, most of all, look for solutions that suit everyone involved. Don’t let someone else’s uncertainty or unexpected reversal cause you to make a move you wouldn’t ordinarily make. Your numbers are 4, 10, 14, 24, 28, 35, 49 ARIES (March 21-April 19): An energetic approach to whatever you do will serve you well and keep you out of trouble. Unpredictable motions will keep everyone around you guessing. Keep your emotions out of the equation. ★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): A trip will pay off if you get to confront someone face-to-face. A problem at home is best left alone until you have your facts and plans in order. Changes at work may be unnerving. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Join in and be a participant. A burden you face will be to your advantage once you realize how easy it is to put your skills to the test. Your curiosity, quick response and desire to experiment will lead to greater motivation and new ideas. ★★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Love and romance can be yours if you are bold and make the first move. Recognize anyone trying to take advantage of you. Emotional tactics will be used – acting fast will be your best recourse. ★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The more you accomplish, the better you will feel about yourself and the people you have helped. A job opportunity may not be what you expected but, if you do your best, it can be so much more. ★★★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Relationships can make a big difference in your financial affairs. A change of heart may help you out personally, financially and with regard to the stress and burden you’ve been carrying. Love is in the stars. ★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don’t take anything too personally. It’s best to get your own responsibilities out of the way. Deal with any pending settlement, agreement or contract calmly and you will get what you want. ★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): An unusual opportunity will come into play as a direct result of someone who has supported and loved you all along. Do whatever you can to meet the offers being given with equality, dedication and a longterm promise. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Property purchases will prove to be within reach and will provide you with a secure future. A relationship may cause some unexpected changes to occur with regard to how you live your life and where. In the end, you will come out on top. ★★★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You don’t want to raise any questions or give anyone the wrong impression. The less communication and the more action, the further ahead you will get. A change in your financial situation will be directly linked to your home, family or money from an unusual source. ★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): An old deal you thought was a dead issue will surface. Prepare to handle things differently this time around and you will reap the rewards you missed out on in the past. Don’t be afraid to question anything that appears dubious. ★★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Take on a responsibility that someone else can no longer carry. You will eventually get something worthwhile out of the effort you put in. A partnership will lead to a higher position, greater income and future financial freedom. ★★★

BRIDGE “Your honor,” the DA announced, “we will prove East committed a felony: He let South make a doomed game.” “State your case,” said the judge. “Declarer refused the first spade and won the second,” the DA related. “He cashed a high trump and next finessed with the queen of diamonds. When East took the king, he led the ten of trumps.” The judge grimaced. “South won, took the ace of diamonds, ruffed a diamond, ruffed a spade in dummy and ruffed a diamond. He went to the ace of clubs and threw a club on the good diamond, losing a trump, a spade and a diamond.

HOROSCOPE

try the diamond finesse.”

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S K 6 4 3 H Q 10 2 D K J 9 3 C K 10. Your partner opens one diamond, you bid one spade and he rebids two diamonds. The opponents pass. What do you say? ANSWER: Game is likely, but since you have balanced pattern and stoppers everywhere, you should try for the nine-trick game. Bid 2NT. To jump to 3NT would be reasonable, especially if you’re vulnerable, but the lack of aces is a bad sign, and the jack of diamonds is a wasted honor. 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.

Bzdelik interviews with Deacs BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

WINSTON-SALEM – The wheels kept churning in Wake Forest’s courtship of Colorado men’s basketball coach Jeff Bzdelik. Whether or not it becomes a lasting relationship could be determined today. Bzdelik arrived in Winston-Salem on Monday and began an interview process that Wake assistant athletics director for media relations Steve Shutt said would continue today. Shutt declined to say with whom Bzdelik met. If the interview and negotiations process goes without a hitch, Bzdelik could be formally named the 21st coach in Deacons’ history by Wednesday. Wake is seeking a replacement for Dino

Gaudio, who was abruptly fired by Wake athletics director Ron Wellman last Wednesday. Wellman said he decided to let Gaudio go after three seasons because collapses in the postseason outweighed a 61-21 record. Wellman flew to Colorado on Sunday to bring Bzdelik to Winston-Salem after Bzdelik met with his team to tell his players he would be talking with Wake. In the meeting, the 57year-old told the Buffaloes that he had not been offered the head coaching position nor accepted it. Bzdelik and Wellman have been acquaintances since Bzdelik was an assistant basketball coach while Wellman was the baseball coach at Northwestern in the early 1980s. Bzdelik told Colorado officials that he has interest in the Wake job because that is where his daughter is a student.

In seven years as a college head coach, Bzdelik is 111-104. The highlight of his career came in guiding Air Force to a 50-16 record that was the schools’ best ever in consecutive seasons. But, he has been unable to revive the Colorado program in three seasons, going 3678 that included an improvement to 15-16 this season. His postseason record in college includes one first-round NCAA loss and one first-round NIT loss. He was also 73-119 in a little more than two seasons as head coach of the Denver Nuggets from 2002-2004. His best year in that role resulted in a 43-39 record and playoff berth in 2003-04.

Bobcats scorch Nets

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Stephen Jackson had 17 points and nine rebounds and the Charlotte Bobcats got a big game from their bench to beat New Jersey 105-95 Monday night in the Nets’ final game at the Izod Center in the Meadowlands. Gerald Henderson led the bench crew with 14 points, while fellow reserves Tyrus Thomas and D.J. Augustin added 13 and 11. With Miami’s win over Philadelphia earlier Monday, the Bobcats were cemented into the No. 7 playoff spot in the Eastern Conference and will meet the defending conference champion Orlando Magic in the first round of the playoffs this weekend. Devin Harris had 22 points for the Nets.

Panthers sign Colts’ safety AP

Solid concentration Cleveland Indians’ center fielder Michael Brantley leaves his feet as he focuses on a ball off the bat of Texas Ranger Julio Borbon on Monday. Brantley made the catch in the seventh inning. See the baseball roundup 3D.

Padres batter Braves, 17-2 SAN DIEGO (AP) — Will Venable’s two-run homer highlighted a 10-run fourth inning and Kyle Blanks homered, doubled and drove in a careerhigh five runs as the San Diego Padres routed the Atlanta Braves 17-2 in their home opener on Monday. The Padres hit and scored as if they were playing in a bandbox rather than spacious Petco Park. Their 17 runs, on 19 hits, were the most by any team at the downtown ballpark since it opened in 2004. Venable (triple, single, homer) and

Blanks (double, homer, single) each finished a hit shy of the cycle. No Padres batter has ever hit for the cycle. Venable scored four runs and drove in two, and Blanks scored three times. Kevin Correia (1-1), a San Diego native who made the start because of to Chris Young’s balky right shoulder, held Atlanta to two runs on four hits in 5 2-3 innings. He also had a two-run single in the fourth. Correia and relievers Edward Mujica and Adam Russell held the Braves to four hits.

CHARLOTTE (AP) — The Carolina Panthers have made an upgrade with their struggling special teams by signing safety Aaron Francisco. The six-year veteran has played for Arizona and Indianapolis, and had two special teams tackles for the Colts in last season’s Super Bowl. A four-year starter at BYU, the 6-foot-2, 207pound Francisco went undrafted out of college before signing with Arizona in 2005. He served as the Cardinals’ special teams captain in 2007 and ’08. Monday’s move is a boost for the Panthers, who ranked near the bottom of the league in punt and kickoff coverage last season.

ourteen NHL teams look to win the lottery tonight in Toronto. That’s right. The NHL Draft Lottery takes center stage live on Versus at 8 p.m. The 14 unlucky hockey clubs that missed this year’s playoffs will anxiously watch as lotto balls, weighted by their number so the teams with the worst records get the most chances to draw the No. 1 overall pick, spin and float and bounce and, well, do what lotto balls do before settling into their lucky lotto places. In case you’ve forgotten, the first NHL Draft Lottery was held in 1995.

I’m no fuddy-duddy, but I’ve never been a fan of gambling in general and draft lotteries in particular, be it the NBA or the NHL or any other pro league. To me, the team with the worst record should get the top overall pick in the following year’s draft. Period. You shouldn’t ask fans of really crappy teams to suffer through an awful season, then endure the added insult of seeing their team stuck with the fourth or fifth pick while some traditional power that went through one poor season hits the jackpot and grabs

Davis opts for NBA CHAPEL HILL — North Carolina sophomore Ed Davis announced Monday that he will enter the upcoming NBA draft, making official what most had expected. Davis, universally viewed as a lottery pick for the June 24 draft, will work with UNC coach Roy Williams to hire an agent, according to team spokesman Steve Kirschner. “I’ve had two great years at North Carolina both as a player and a student, and now I want to pursue my lifelong dream of playing in the NBA,” Davis said in a statement released by the school. “I love being a Tar Heel and am proud to know that I will always be part of this unique family. I want to thank Coach Williams for giving me the opportunity to play for Carolina. “My coaches and teammates have helped me develop as a player and a person, and I will miss helping them get the Tar Heel program back on top.” Davis said he still plans to honor the promise he made to his parents to graduate. Most observers expected the 6-10 Davis to head to the NBA given his likely top-10 draft status, though some wondered if his injury problems could change the plan. Davis missed the final 13 games of the season with a broken left wrist suffered in the Tar Heels’ first meeting with Duke on Feb. 10 and watched the remainder of the season from the sidelines.

TOP SCORES

the No. 1 overall pick despite finishing with the 13th worst record. It’s much more fun to watch historically bad franchises find creative new ways to trade away their picks for over-the-hill veterans or just botch their high selections. Think about the Detroit Lions in the NFL. How much fun is it to watch them screw things up every draft day? So you can keep the NHL and NBA draft lotteries. I’m not interested.

Alan Major was 13 years old when his mother, Mary, knew he was destined to be a basketball coach. “He was like the Pied Piper. He’d go out in the driveway by himself and in a few minutes all these kids would be around,” she said. “He would be giving them pointers on how to play the game.” Twenty-eight years later, a proud Mary Major sat in the front row as her son was given his first head coaching job on Monday, charged with getting Charlotte back into the NCAA tournament after a fiveyear absence. The 41-year-old Major spent the past nine seasons working for Thad Matta, the first three at Xavier and the past six at Ohio State. He’s credited with helping develop Greg Oden and other big men in his coaching stops. And now he has a program of his own as he replaces Bobby Lutz, who was fired last month after 12 seasons. Major signed a five-year deal that athletic director Judy Rose said guarantees him $450,000 annually.

(AP) – Tom Watson received a special exemption Monday to play in the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach, where he won his only U.S. Open in 1982 with a memorable chip-in to beat Jack Nicklaus. The exemption was announced a day after the 60-year-old Watson turned in another impressive performance at a major, tying for 18th at the Masters. In his previous major, he lost in a playoff to Stewart Cink in the British Open at Turnberry. The U.S. Open returns for the fifth time to Pebble Beach on June 17-20. It was last played there in 2000, when Tiger Woods was the only player to finish under par and won by a record 15 shots. Watson will be the only player to have competed in every U.S. Open at Pebble Beach.

or more in total credit card debt and at least 30 days behind on any account, to cut their payment by 35% to 50%, and reduce or eliminate interest

Every three minutes another person falls behind on credit card debt. It’s no wonder, since every major credit card company has nearly doubled the minimum monthly payment on consumers’ bills. Federal Regulators forced the change because of their concern about the growing mountain of consumer debt, which stands at $2.17 trillion. Many consumers can only pay the minimum payment, which can take up to 30 years to pay off. Now, relief is in sight for millions of Americans. CreditGUARD of America, a non-profit licensed debt management service provider, is making a new program available to lower debt payments and become free of all credit card debt in only three to five years. Consumers need only $4,000

charges altogether. Over 200,000 families, located throughout the U.S. have regained financial independence with CreditGUARD’s licensed, bonded and insured service. CreditGUARD of America has received high marks in consumer surveys showing high consumer satisfaction and confidence. The CreditGUARD debt management program can actually turn a person’s life around. One such case in Mary C. Of New

Castle, PA, who said, “CreditGUARD literally saved my life and my marriage. We were three months behind on all of our creditors, and owed over $18,000—with no way out in sight. CreditGUARD of America counseled us over the phone and lowered our monthly payments by $286. Best of all, the creditors stopped calling us!� When asked how much was saved, she replied: “We’re saving over $14,800 in interest payments, and our life and marriage is back on track in only six months. We would recommend CreditGUARD to anyone in our situation.� Angelo G. Of Bulverde, TX says, “I am not afraid to answer the phone or get the mail because I know it is not a harassing creditor!� Certified Credit Counselors at CreditGUARD of America provide Debt Relief Consultations at no charge, when you call 1800-880-6433.

Panel won’t say recession’s over WASHINGTON (AP) – A panel of academics that date the beginnings and ends of recessions isn’t ready to declare just yet when this downturn ended. The National Bureau of Economic Research said Monday that although most barometers show improvements in the economy, it would be “premature” to pinpoint the end of a recession based on economic data seen so far. That assessment came after the group of academic economists met at its Cambridge, Mass., headquarters on Thursday to review mountains of economic data. The panel looks at figures that make up the

Hawaiian rated best airline for service WASHINGTON – Hawaiian Airlines did the best job for fliers last year, closely followed by low-cost carrier AirTran, according to an annual study released Monday that rates the nation’s 18 busiest airlines for the quality of their service. At the bottom were three regional carriers: American Eagle, Atlantic Southeast and Comair.

Oil edges down on demand worries NEW YORK – Crude prices fell slightly on Monday as traders continued to assess a slow economic recovery the strength of U.S. oil and gas demand.

GM forecasts strong sales in China SHANGHAI – General Motors Co. said Monday demand in China is so strong that the company’s annual sales may top 2 million vehicles this year – four years ahead of schedule – and could exceed 3 million by 2015. GM is counting on robust growth in China, India and other emerging markets to help offset weakness in its home U.S. market as the Detroit automaker struggles to return to health after its near-collapse in 2009. GM’s China sales jumped 68 percent in March over a year earlier to a monthly record of 230,048 vehicles. ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

nation’s gross domestic product, which measures the total value of goods and services produced within the United States. It also reviews incomes, employment and industrial activity. The economists decided that many of the key economic indicators are “quite preliminary at this time and will be revised in coming months,” NBER said. The government often changes its estimates of economic growth, job creation and other important barometers based on more complete information. The panel of academic economists was wary of making a declaration about the end of the recession when key govern-

ment figures could still be changed. NBER has already pinpointed the start date of the recession as December 2007, a determination it reaffirmed on Monday. Many private economists believed the recession ended in June or July last year. It has been the longest and worst downturn since the 1930s. The economy started growing again in the second quarter of last year after a record four straight quarters of declines. The economy also has started to generate jobs again – albeit at a sluggish pace. The NBER normally takes its time in declaring a recession has started or ended.

Survey: Recovery to drag into 2011 WASHINGTON (AP) – The pillars of Americans’ financial security – jobs and home values – will stay shaky well into 2011, according to an Associated Press survey of leading economists. The findings of the new AP Economy Survey, released Monday, point to an economic recovery that will move slowly and fitfully this year and next. As a result, the Federal Reserve will be forced to keep interest rates near zero until at least the final quarter of this year, threefourths of the economists said. The new AP survey, which will be conducted quarterly, compiles forecasts of leading private, corporate and academic economists on a range of indicators, including employment, home prices and inflation. Among the first survey’s key findings:

• The unemployment rate will stay stubbornly high the next two years. It will inch down to 9.3 percent by the end of this year and to 8.4 percent by the end of 2011. The rate has been 9.7 percent since January. When the recession started in December 2007, unemployment was 5 percent. • Home prices will remain almost flat for the next two years, even after plunging an average 30 percent nationally since their peak in 2006. The economists forecast no rise this year and a 2.3 percent gain next year. • The economy will grow 3 percent this year, which is less than usual during the early phase of a recovery and the reason unemployment will stay high. It takes growth of 5 percent for a year to lower the jobless rate by 1 percentage point, economists say.

Court to hear female trucker’s sex bias claim RICHMOND, Va. (AP) – A federal appeals court has ordered a trial for a Virginia woman who said she was fired by a trucking company based on her gender. A three-judge panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond concluded Friday that Deborah Merritt is entitled to a trial on her claim she was fired from the Lynchburg terminal

of Old Dominion Freight Line Inc. in February 2005 because of her gender. The North Carolina trucking company said Merritt was fired because she was unable to perform the job. A lower court sided with Old Dominion Freight. In reversing the lower court finding, the appeals panel said Merritt is entitled to a hearing on her sex-discrimination claim.

NEW YORK (AP) – The Dow Jones industrial average closed above 11,000 for the first time in a year and a half on investors’ rising hopes about the economy. The Dow edged up about 9 points Monday to almost 11,006. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index came within a point of hitting its own milestone of 1,200 during trading but closed just short of that mark. Analysts said the Dow’s move above 11,000 could provide a psychological boost and perhaps draw more investors to the market. “There is a huge stockpile of cash on the sidelines earning virtually nothing,” said Jack Ablin, chief investment officer at Harris Private Bank in Chicago. “Maybe this can help shake a few people into the market.” A test of whether the Dow can hold the 11,000 mark will come in the next three weeks when companies report earnings. Investors also will want to see whether the government’s next employment report, due in early May, shows that employers added jobs in April as they did during March. The Dow has posted six straight weekly advances, its longest winning streak in a year.

Microsoft to try new consumer phones SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – Microsoft Corp. unveiled two phones Monday that are meant for social networking-savvy teens and twenty-somethings, in an attempt to revitalize its mobile business and regain ground on iPhones and BlackBerrys. Microsoft said its new touch-screen phones – a short, square-shaped handset called Kin 1 and a longer, more rectangular one called Kin 2 – will be sold exclusively in the U.S. by Verizon Wireless. They are being made by Sharp Corp., which has produced Sidekick cell phones, whose software comes from Microsoftowned Danger Inc. In the past, Microsoft has mostly sold its mobile software to other companies to put it on phones they make.

This will be the case with its recently announced Windows Phone 7 Series software, which is expected to be on handsets by the holidays. The Kin phones mark a departure, as Microsoft has sway over the creation of their software and hardware. Verizon said it will start selling the Kin phones online in early May and in stores shortly thereafter. In the fall, carrier Vodafone Group PLC – which owns Verizon Wireless in partnership with Verizon Communications Inc. – will start selling the Kin phones in Italy, Spain, Germany and the U.K. Microsoft has not yet announced prices. Microsoft needs help in the cell phone market. Its software has been losing share while Apple Inc.

and Google Inc., which makes the Android operating software, have gained. Microsoft software ran on 13.1 percent of smart phones sold in the U.S. last year, according to research firm InStat. That put Microsoft in third place after BlackBerry maker Research In Motion Ltd. and Apple. Roz Ho, leader of the Microsoft team behind the Kin, said the company has been working on the Kin devices for several years, trying to create a handset for people who especially want to connect with others over social Web sites such as Facebook. The phones also are meant for people who want a handset that works simply, without forcing them to hunt through menus and icons, she said.

Bailout details ease Greek crisis ATHENS, Greece (AP) – A European agreement on the details of a financial lifeline for Greece – should the heavily indebted country need it – won early market support Monday, with Athens’ borrowing costs falling as fears of default eased. Although the package is ready if Greece asks for it, Athens insists it still hopes not to use it and prefers to borrow on the international bond market. Finance Ministry officials say they will wait to gauge market reaction in the coming days and weeks before deciding whether to

tap the bailout plan. Prime Minister George Papandreou, who was in Cyprus on an official visit, said the mechanism would provide assurance for jittery markets. “The markets have subjected Greece to psychological terror,” he told reporters in an informal briefing in Nicosia. “We need calm and the assurance that the mechanism has given us.” The Greek debt crisis has undermined the euro currency and raised fears of the trouble spreading to other countries with troubled finances such as

as Portugal and Spain. But while the package should provide some breathing space, Greece’s problems are far from over. The government still faces a tough fight to restructure its finances, reduce its massive debts and fully restore market confidence damaged by years of overspending and fudging its statistics. On Sunday, eurozone governments said they would make €30 billion ($40 billion) in loans available to Greece this year if Athens asks for the money.

Al Gerhart, co-founder of the Sooner Tea Party and founder of Oklahoma Constitutional Alliance, is shown in the showroom of his business, The Carpenter Shop, holding a “Sooner Tea Party” poster from their 2009 convention.

Oklahoma tea parties, lawmakers envision militia OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) – Frustrated by recent political setbacks, tea party leaders and some conservative members of the Oklahoma Legislature say they would like to create a new volunteer militia to help defend against what they believe are improper federal infringements on state sovereignty. Tea party movement leaders say they’ve discussed the idea with several supportive law-

makers and hope to get legislation next year to recognize a new volunteer force. They say the unit would not resemble militia groups that have been raided for allegedly plotting attacks on law enforcement officers. “Is it scary? It sure is,” said tea party leader Al Gerhart of Oklahoma City, who heads an umbrella group of tea party factions called the Oklahoma Constitutional Alliance. “But when do the

states stop rolling over for the federal government?” Thus far, the discussions have been exploratory. Even the proponents say they don’t know how an armed force would be organized nor how a state-based militia could block federal mandates. Critics also asserted that the force could inflame extremism, and that the National Guard already provides for the state’s military needs.

Midwest leads in Census returns WASHINGTON (AP) – With five days left for people to return their census forms, Census Bureau director Robert Groves on Monday urged those in big cities and border regions to step up the response to avoid visits by census takers next month. So far, about 65 percent, or more than 77 million households, have completed and mailed back the 10-question forms. The Midwest leads the pack, while

the southern and western U.S. and big cities such as New York, Chicago and Philadelphia are lagging.
