HIGH POINT – Gov. Beverly Perdue has pledged to keep state funding for the High Point Market at the same level as part of her 2010 budget proposal unveiled this week, local officials say.

Perdue, who visited the spring furniture market on Monday, released her $19.1 billion prop o s a l Tuesday.

State legislators will take up the Perdue proposal when they convene the middle of next month for the 2010 N.C. General Assembly session in Raleigh.

The governor indicated during her visit that she would maintain market funding in her proposal, said High Point Mayor Becky Smothers and High Point Market Authority President Brian Casey.

At the authority board of directors meeting Wednesday, market organizers considered a draft 2010-11 budget proposal. Total revenues for the upcoming fiscal year total $5 million, of which $2 million is state appropriations. The authority, which oversees operation of the spring and fall home furnishings trade shows, receives state funding to support transportation services and promote the market, the world’s largest furniture trade show and the singlelargest economic event in North Carolina each year.

While Smothers praised the governor’s office for its support, she expressed frustration with the proposed cut to the authority under consideration by the Guilford County Board of Commissioners. The authority has received

HIGH POINT – High Point’s largest shopping center, Oak Hollow Mall, is up for sale again, with the exclusion of two of its anchor stores, according to an online listing with Price Commercial Properties Inc. The real estate company’s Web site lists the 44-acre property at 921 Eastchester Drive for sale at $15 million.

The sale doesn’t include Dillards, which converted its department store into a Dillards clearance center at the mall earlier this year, or Sears.

The property was listed for sale on April 14, according to the Web site.

Vickee Armstrong, general manager of Oak Hollow Mall, said she couldn’t confirm whether or not the mall was for sale and deferred all comments to the mall’s corporate owner and operator, Chattanooga, Tenn.-based CBL & Associates Properties Inc. Katie Reinsmidt, vice president of corporate communications and investor relations for CBL, also didn’t confirm if the mall was for sale.

“I don’t have any information to give you on this matter,” Reinsmidt told The High Point Enterprise on Wednesday.

Ed Price, president of Ed Price & Associates Realtors out of High Point, deferred any comment to CBL & Associates.

Oak Hollow Mall reportedly went up for sale two years ago at a drastically higher price for $40 to $45 million, though the price included all of its anchor stores.

CBL & Associates also operates Hanes Mall in WinstonSalem and Randolph Mall in Asheboro, as well as two outdoor shopping centers, Friendly Center in Greensboro and Alamance Crossing in Burlington.

Stickley Furniture Co.’s permanent showroom on N. Elm Street also saw better business this spring, especially compared to last spring, officials said.

“This has been a very strong market in case goods and upholstery,” said Rod Mclean, president of Stickley Fine Upholstery. “We are seeing a lot more optimism from buyers.

Their inventories have been depleted, and they’re re-ordering.

“The one thing I would add is business in the industry is still erratic,” Mclean said. “We haven’t seen that return of a steady flow of orders, but we’re happy to be over the hump.”

Furniture purchased by buyers at the show usually hits retail stores in the fall.

HPU survey: Most think Census worth taxpayer money ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

AP

Gary Jackson, former president of Blackwater (company now known as Xe Services), leaves the Terry Sanford Federal Building and Courthouse in Raleigh Wednesday.

Feds: Blackwater president had ‘scofflaw attitude’ RALEIGH (AP) – Federal prosecutors launched a scathing assessment of Blackwater Worldwide’s former president Wednesday, declaring in an initial court appearance that he operated the security firm with “sheer arrogance” and a “scofflaw attitude.”

Gary Jackson and four past colleagues indicted last week appeared Wednesday morning before a judge who allowed

them to go free as they await trial. A magistrate judge denied a government request to place a bond on each defendant but ordered them to turn over passports and refrain from possessing firearms.

The first court hearing offered a brief glimpse into the combative nature of a case that pits the federal government against former officials at a company that for years played

a crucial role as a government contractor protecting U.S. officials in war zones.

Prosecutors slammed Jackson, arguing that he flouted federal regulations while building the lucrative security enterprise.

As an example, assistant US attorney John Bowler said Jackson participated in an effort to falsify federal documents

to hide that the company had provided guns as a gift to the king of Jordan.

“It is just another display of sheer arrogance and scofflaw attitude,” Bowler said.

Ken Bell, an attorney for Jackson, said federal officials were frequently aware of Blackwater’s activities and were on the scene when the company provided weapons to Jordanians.

Thomasville reports 5,600 wastewater spill ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

THOMASVILLE – The city of Thomasville has reported a wastewater spill of more than 5,000 gallons.

According to a city press release, the spill occurred on Monday with

an estimated 5,600 gallons of untreated wastewater overflowing on Carmalt Street due to a blockage.

The spill was first found at 1 p.m. by staff looking for a water meter leak that had been called in.

A jet truck immediately was dispatched and

crews worked for more than an hour to clear the blockage and an additional 45 minutes cleaning the area of debris.

City officials said an unidentified solid debris in a sanitary sewer line, which blocked the normal flow through the

pipe, was the cause of the spill. The wastewater entered North Hamby Creek in the Yadkin/Pee Dee River Basin.

The N.C. Division of Water Quality was notified of the event on Monday and is reviewing the matter.

HIGH POINT – Most North Carolinians believe the U.S. Census is important and worth the taxpayer money spent, according to a recent survey.

The Survey Research Center at High Point University recently polled residents on the U.S. Census, asking them if it is worth the government’s money and if it asks reasonable questions? The poll found that most felt the census was well worth the money and was not overly intrusive.

According to the results, “A majority of North Carolinians see the value in the U.S. Census, and they have confidence in it,” said Martin Kifer, director of the Survey Research Center, of the results.

Of the 428 adults polled, the substantial majority believed being counted by the U.S. Census was very important and worth the money it cost to conduct the survey, Kifer added.

According to the survey, strong majorities of North Carolinians say: • It is very important for them and their families to be counted in the U.S. Census (62 percent).

• The government has good reasons to ask each of the questions on the Census (56 percent).

• The Census is worth the money the government is spending on it (57 percent).

LORAIN, Ohio (AP) – A home security camera has captured a runaway saw blade shooting through a northern Ohio yard and into the side of a house.

Video from the camera shows a large blade spinning off a saw being used to cut through a street. The blade then

rolls through a yard and leaves a 3-foot gash in the side of an empty house in Lorain, a town about 25 miles west of Cleveland.

Rachel Gayhart says she and her husband checked their video Monday to see why the street work wasn’t finished. She says the blade

missed a gas meter on the side of the neighboring house by two feet.

The video shows a construction worker retrieving the runaway blade and putting it back on the saw.

Lorain officials say the firm doing the work under contract for the city is investigating.

Guilford considers reduction in economic support $75,000 annually during the last three fiscal years, but commissioners are proposing to cut the support to $50,000 for the upcoming fiscal year.

Smothers said commissioners have made

dence that the majority of North Carolinians say that being counted by the U.S. Census is very important for them,” Kifer said.

“Most people say that the Census questions are necessary – not intrusive – and that this constitutionally mandated count is not a waste of money.”

In addition, an overwhelming majority (83 percent) of the respondents reported seeing television advertisements in recent weeks encouraging citizens to return their census questionnaire forms.

Some respondents did have some concerns about the confidentiality of their information, but a near majority (50 percent) said they believe the Census Bureau will keep information about them confidential rather than sharing with other government agencies such as the Internal Revenue Service.

The High Point University Survey Research Center fielded the survey from April 11-15. The responses came from 428 adults with landline telephones in North Carolina selected by a Random Digit Dial method, giving the survey a margin of sampling error of about 5 percentage points.

Mike Howell, with the Capital Defense Office, sits at right. Cooper was arrested in November 2007 and accused of robbing a Garner bank.

MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

DAVIDSON COUNTY – A High Point man faces charges of assaulting a law enforcement officer after Davidson County sheriff’s deputies responded to a domestic dispute Tuesday.

While they were investigating the scene of a complaint at a Jack Kennedy Road residence outside Thomasville, deputies learned one of the people there had five outstanding felony warrants for possession of stolen goods, obtaining property by false pretenses and larceny from Guilford County.

As officers were arresting the suspect, who was identified as Benjamin Lee Pyrtle, “he became combative and started kicking and head-butting officers on the scene,� according to the sheriff’s office.

Pyrtle, 18, of Marrywood Drive, High Point, was charged with five counts of assault on a law enforcement officer and booked into the Davidson County

Jail under a $100,000 bond, deputies said. He was assessed an additional $100,000 bond for the Guilford County charges.

In an unrelated incident, the sheriff’s office announced that charges would be filed against an East Davidson High School student allegedly involved in a confrontation with another student outside the school cafeteria Wednesday.

The sheriff’s office school resource officer determined the juvenile suspect allegedly assaulted another student, causing a laceration to the scalp, deputies said.

A trash can belonging to the school also was damaged as a result of the incident.

Petitions for assault inflicting serious injury and injury to personal property were filed with Juvenile Services against the suspect, whose name was not released because he is a juvenile.

Analysts say North Korea hints at 3rd nuke test

Iraqi testifies he was beaten by US troops

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) – North Korea may be preparing to carry out a third nuclear test, analysts and a highranking defector said Wednesday, citing language in state media hinting of an impending crisis on the peninsula.

Speculation that communist North Korea might conduct another nuclear test, in defiance of U.N. Security Council resolutions, grew after the South Korean cable network YTN reported Tuesday that the North has been preparing since February to conduct a test in May or June. YTN cited an unidentified diplomatic source.

Tensions are high on the Korean peninsula in the wake of the deadly sinking of a South Korean navy ship near the maritime border with North Korea.

Foreign Minister Yu Myung-hwan said he had no information to suggest preparations for a nuclear test were under way.

BAGHDAD (AP) – An Iraqi prisoner suspected of masterminding an attack that killed four American contractors testified Wednesday at a court-martial of a Navy SEAL that he was beaten by U.S. troops while hooded and tied to a chair.

But defense witnesses for Petty Officer 1st Class Julio Huertas on the trial’s opening day cast strong doubt on the testimony by Ahmed Hashim Abed and that of a fellow sailor who claimed he saw the assault.

The trial stems from an attack on four Blackwater security contractors who were driving through the city of Fallujah west of Baghdad in early 2004.

The men were killed and then crowds dragged two of the burnt bodies through the streets and hanged them from a bridge over the Euphrates River – pictures that became iconic of the U.S.-led war in Iraq.

Activity is seen from the volcano in southern Iceland’s Eyjafjallajokull glacier, Wednesday. Geologists continued to keep a close watch on the Iceland volcano Wednesday, as observers noticed a change in the eruption pattern.

Questions arrive over aviation crisis fueled by volcano ash AMSTERDAM (AP) – Airlines toted up losses topping $2 billion and struggled to get hundreds of thousands of travelers back home Wednesday after a week of crippled air travel, as questions and recriminations erupted over Europe’s chaotic response to the volcanic ash cloud.

Civil aviation authorities defended their decisions to ground fleets and close the skies – and later to reopen them – against heated charges

by airline chiefs that the decisions were based on flawed data or unsubstantiated fears.

The aviation crisis sparked by a volcanic eruption in Iceland left millions in flightless limbo, created debilitating losses for airlines and other industries and even threatened Europe’s economic recovery. An aviation group called the financial fallout worse than the three-day worldwide shutdown after the 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States.

Meanwhile, Londoners and other city dwellers across Europe were treated to a rare spectacle of nature: Pristine, blue skies brighter than any in recent memory.

The remarkable sight happened in part because mass flight groundings prevented busy airspace from being crisscrossed with plumes of jet exhaust that create a semi-permanent haze – and other effects beyond the white contrails themselves.

In this aerial photo taken in the Gulf of Mexico, more than 50 miles off the Louisiana coast, the Deepwater Horizon oil rig is seen burning Wednesday.

Oil rig explodes off Louisiana coast; workers missing NEW ORLEANS (AP) – Rescuers in helicopters and boats searched the Gulf of Mexico for 11 missing workers Wednesday after a thunderous explosion rocked a huge oil drilling platform and lit up the night sky with a pillar of flame. Seventeen people were injured, three critically.

The blast Tuesday night aboard the Deepwater Horizon rig 50 miles off the Louisiana coast could prove to be one of the nation’s deadliest offshore drilling accidents of the past half-century.

The Coast Guard held out hope that the missing workers escaped in one of the platform’s covered lifeboats.

Nearly 24 hours after the explosion, the roughly 400-by-250-foot rig continued to burn, and authori-

ocean Ltd., said the explosion appeared to be a blowout, in which natural gas or oil forces its way up a well pipe and smashes the equipment.

But precisely what went wrong was under investigation.

Crews were doing routine work before the explosion and there were no signs of trouble, Rose said.

A total of 126 workers were aboard the rig when it blew up. The Coast Guard said 17 were taken by air or sea to hospitals.

Three were in critical condition with severe burns. Others suffered burns, broken legs and smoke inhalation.

Nearly 100 other workers made it aboard a supply boat and were expected to reach the Louisiana shore by evening.

ties could not say when the flames might die out.

A column of boiling black smoke rose hundreds of feet over the Gulf of Mexico as fireboats shot streams of water at the blaze. “We’re hoping everyone’s in a life raft,� Coast Guard Senior Chief Petty Officer Mike O’Berry said.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) – In less than 15 minutes, commercial fisherman Robert Jack went from steering a 75foot boat across the Gulf of Alaska to a terrifying plunge into its icy waters.

Jack was one of four crew members on the Northern Belle, based in Seattle, which was hit by a swell and tipped on its side Tuesday night before sinking 50 miles south of Alaska’s Montague Island, near the mouth of Prince William Sound.

He and two other crew members survived.

Jack told Seattle’s KING-TV on Wednesday that the scene was chaotic as the crew fled the boat. “The throttles wouldn’t shut down,� he said. “We were moving at 7 knots, rolling over on one side.

There were lines, there were brailer bags, heavy pieces of steel flying everywhere.�

The cause of the sinking has not been determined, said Coast Guard

Cell phone use is an impairment for drivers Recently, while driving, I came across a lady pulling out of a car wash. She had a small child standing up in the seat beside her.

As I approached her, she pulled out in front of me while talking on her cell phone. I hit my brakes and still almost hit her car in the side. Another car was coming in the opposite direction, both of us almost hit her on both sides of her car.

She was engrossed in her conversation and never even realized that she and her child could have been seriously hurt or killed.

People are going to do foolish things as long as they can get by with it.

The ones who make our laws are the ones who are primarily responsible for the lives lost by foolish people. Talking on cell phones while driving is in my opinion is DWI, driving while impaired.

Any distraction is a impairment while risking a life. God gave us

Volunteers are vital to Hospice, many organizations National Volunteer Week is this week (April 18-24), a time to recognize and celebrate the thousands of people who give selflessly of their time and talents in service to others. Nowhere is this more important than in our nation’s hospice and palliative care programs.

Here at Hospice of the Piedmont, we have more than 500 incredible volunteers who are dedicated to making sure those in our community have the support

and care they need when facing the journey at life’s end. Our volunteers bring companionship to people in the last six months of life, respite to families and caregivers, and support in fundraising and administrative efforts by our organization.

Many misconceptions exist about hospice – that it means “giving up,” or there’s “nothing more that can be done.” Nothing could be further from the truth. Hospice is about living to the fullest and making sure those with a life-limiting illness are surrounded by love and support.

Nationwide, more than 550,000 volunteers give 25 million hours of service every year. Last year, Hospice of the Piedmont volunteers gave over 4,000 hours of service to our patients and families and staff. Hospice volunteers play

an indispensable role in enabling our agency to offer the best care possible for members of our community.

Market set for industry rebound

JAMESTOWN

Town Council Mayor Keith Volz, 601 O’Neill Drive, Jamestown 27282; 887-2733

F

or the first time in years – five or six markets or more – the High Point Market mood has been upbeat!

And that has had a lot to do with the success of the spring 2010 market run that, from many observers’ points of view, has been better – far better in many instances – than was expected just a couple of weeks ago.

Perhaps it indicates that the home furnishings industry has pushed the correct buttons in its attempts to deal effectively with the challenges and take advantage of what few opportunities existed over the last halfdozen years. Perhaps it indicates that the economy has bottomed or is bottoming and is beginning a rebound. Perhaps it indicates that the High Point Market Authority (with its many partners) has transformed market into the well-oiled machine, near the top of its game, that has been its goal since it began 10 years ago.

As Market Authority president and CEO Brian Casey pointed out in a column in the Enterprise Sunday, “more than 50 Triad hotels committed to the Market’s Hotel Partner Program (with guests enjoying rates that average $130 a night without minimum-stay requirements)” and bills have been more in line with year-round prices in many restaurants. Casey and his staff (and his extended staff) seemingly were everywhere at market, fulfilling the mission, answering questions, finding satisfactory solutions to issues, doing as much as they could to make this market experience enjoyable for as many people as possible.

There is little doubt that the market transportation system is first-class.

Plenty of money (in excess of $10 million) in just the last year has been invested in market by those who own showroom buildings.

Those who prepared for market well, then did what is necessary to get their names, brands and product by a wide variety of methods in marketgoers’ lines of sight have drawn attention and, in many cases, have written orders or, at least, obtained commitments.

The weather cooperated, and many marketgoers took advantage of that to walk the streets in higher numbers than were noticeable during the last half-dozen markets.

Momentum built on the positive vibes from those who got market rolling on Friday, the day before the official opening day, and, even if some who had planned to attend were unable to get here because of the impact of the volcano eruptions in Iceland, folks are winding up market feeling pretty good about it.

Godspeed and we hope to welcome you back in six months.

Where was ‘Tea Party’ outrage over Bush abuses?

T

he numbers are in.

Thanks to a new CBS News/New York Times poll, we now have a statistical picture of the “Tea Party” movement. There are few surprises.

It turns out that not quite 20 percent of Americans are Tea Party supporters. They tend to be white, Republican, male, over 45 and wealthier than the rest of us. Fifty-seven percent hold a favorable opinion of George W. Bush. And where most Republicans describe themselves as “dissatisfied” with Washington, tea partiers are apt to use a different term. They say they’re angry.

It is a telling word, especially in light of another survey, this one from the University of Washington’s Institute for the Study of Ethnicity, Race & Sexuality. That poll offers strong evidence that, contrary to the denials of Tea Party enthusiasts, President Barack Obama’s race plays a big role in their outrage. Indeed, researchers found a significant correlation between racial resentment and Tea Party zeal.

Respondents were read loaded statements such as this: “It’s really a matter of some people not trying hard enough; if blacks would only try harder, they could be just as well off as whites.” Among those skeptical of the Tea Party, only 33 percent agreed with that statement. Among whites in general, 56 percent did. But among the Tea Party’s most rabid followers, the number spikes to 73 percent.

As Christopher Parker, who led the study, observed via e-mail: “If one believes that blacks don’t try hard enough, use slavery as an excuse, and ... have received more than they deserve (racial resentment), they are 37 percent more likely than those who don’t believe this ... to support the Tea Party.”

Yes, he says, ideology plays a part. Yes, politics does, too. But as he put it in a follow-up conversation by phone, “Once you control for partisanship, party identification and ideology, there’s still a significant, robust effect for race.”

Some of us needed no polling data to know this. Some of us needed only to observe the timing of the Tea Party’s rise.

After all, if the tea partiers were truly only concerned about so-called “tyranny,” they’d

have started howling when Bush claimed he need not be bound by laws with which he disagreed.

If they were truly only worried about a “socialist” takeover of private industry, they’d have yelped when he took over OPINION troubled financial institutions.

If they were truly only Leonard anxious about the budget, they Pitts would have hollered when he ■■■ spent a $128 billion surplus into a $407 billion deficit.

If they were truly outraged over their income taxes, they’d have screamed at Bush first, given that their taxes are the same as when he was in office.

It is telling that they “discovered” their burning concern over these things shortly after Obama came to power.

And contrary to what some in the movement would argue, it is not the case that any criticism of Obama brings charges of racism.

Columnist George F. Will accuses Obama of timidity, columnist Charles Krauthammer calls certain of his policies “terminally naive,” columnist Jonah Goldberg charges him with dirty politics. Yet there has been no national hue and cry accusing those conservatives of racial bias.

The reason is simple. Unlike certain tea partiers, they did not claim Obama favors white slavery. Or depict him as a witch doctor with a bone through his nose. Or cry, “I want my country back.”

For those of us trying to build a country that does not fear difference, a country where access to opportunity is not a function of skin color, for those of us seeking an America that will finally live out the true meaning of its creed, that battle cry of the tea partiers says all that need be said about the differences between them and the rest of us.

They are looking for the America that was.

We’re searching for the one that ought to be.

Health care law surrenders privacy

BY PHYLLIS PICKLESIMER

I

recently saw two bumper stickers that I believe summed up the recent health care bill nicely. “If you think insurance is expensive now, wait until it’s free� and “First they aborted the babies. Now they are coming for the old.�

It is said that watching legislation being made is like watching sausage making.

Those of us who have watched the legislative process that led to Obamacare realize that is an insult to sausage making.

It was full of outright lies (how much it will cost; how it will reduce the deficit.), bribery (Cornhusker kickback, Louisiana Purchase, and who knows what recent promises were made), and threats by the unions and Obama handmaidens to ruin any legislator’s re-election if they did not vote for the bill.

President Obama has continually stated if only we understood his “gift� to us we would be overjoyed with this monstrous boondoggle. Even we rubes understand the only way to save money on medical care is to ration and deny medical care.

We also understand it is impossible to add 30 million people to the health care rolls with the same finite number of medical providers and not have long waits for appointments to see a physician or have medical procedures done. With the bill’s stated reduction in Medicare payments to physicians and

t happens at least once every month. Just look up. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a bird. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a plane. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a full moon! And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not by chance that a crazy person is called a lunatic.

The root luna comes from the Latin and means â&#x20AC;&#x153;the moon.â&#x20AC;?

The lunar effect, also called the Transylvanian effect, is a theory that the full moon phase causes abnormal behavior. Although most experiments fail to consistently show a relationship between this phase of the moon and behavior, belief that the lunar effect is real exists widely among police officers, hospital workers, and teachers. (I have asked. Believe me, they agree.) After 20+ years on the job, I have so often felt that my students were a bit â&#x20AC;&#x153;offâ&#x20AC;? for some reason, only to discover that big, fat full moon rise in the evening sky.

Dr. Arnold Lieber, psychologist at the University of Miami, speculates that perhaps the human body, which, like the surface of the Earth, is composed of almost 80 percent water, experiences some kind of â&#x20AC;&#x153;biological tidesâ&#x20AC;? that affect the emotions. When a person is already on psychologically shaky ground, such a biological tide can push him or her over the edge â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or at least, to more abnormal behavior.

Does that sound crazy?

Then consider the relationship of the moon and tides. Tides are created because the Earth and the moon are attracted to each other, just like magnets attract. The moon tries to pull at anything on the Earth to bring it closer. However, the Earth is able to hold onto everything except its water.

Since the water on Earth is always moving, the Earth can-

not hold onto it, and the moon is able to pull at it.

Daily, there are two high tides and two low tides thanks to the moonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pull.

LESSONS Think about it.

LEARNED The pull of the moon changes Paula the tides of the Williams ocean! Why â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; should it not also have an affect on that volume of fluid that floats around in our heads?

I know I have written about this topic in a past column, but I felt the possibility of the lunar effect actually being a real phenomena warranted mentioning again. After all, I tried to explain it to some young teachers recently and they just looked at me like I had four eyes! Give them a few years!

Now consider that there are just 35 school days left in Guilford County this year and add spring fever to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;lunar effect.â&#x20AC;? That is the formula for a discipline problem waiting to happen and, thus, the reason that teachers must maintain increased vigilance in these last days of the school year. After all, there are Endof-Grade tests to be taken and work yet to be done!

So the next time you see that big, beautiful full moon shining in the night sky, say a prayer for the teachers, police officers and hospital workers you know. We could certainly use it!

The Democratic plan released Wednesday by Senate Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad of North Dakota relies on such boosts in revenues to carve the deficit from $1.4 trillion last year down to $545 billion by 2015.

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; President Barack Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Democratic allies in the Senate promise to cut the deficit by almost two-thirds over the next five years, but their budget plan could threaten about 30 million people with tax increases averaging $3,700 in 2012 and after because of the alternative minimum tax.

FDA: Giving Fido a bone is a boneheaded idea

Bill would shun birth certificate requests HONOLULU â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Hawaii lawmakers are moving closer to passing a measure allowing the state to ignore repeated requests for President Barack Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birth certificate.

A conference committee unanimously voted Tuesday to advance the bill to final votes in the House and Senate. It allows agencies not to respond if they determine the request is duplicative. The bill is aimed at â&#x20AC;&#x153;birthers,â&#x20AC;? who claim Obama is ineligible to be president.

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; If they only knew, dogs from coast to coast might be howling over this advice from the government.

The Food and Drug Administration issued a reminder to consumers Wednesday to toss out bones from their meals rather than feed them to their pets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some people think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safe to give dogs large bones, like those from a ham or a roast,â&#x20AC;? said Carmela Stamper, a veterinarian in the Center for Veterinary Medicine at the

Conrad says he hopes the dilemma will force Congress to overhaul the complicated and inefficient U.S. tax code. The Tax Policy Center, a joint project of the Brookings Institution and the Urban Institute, says that 33 million taxpayers would face the AMT in 2012, adding $3,700 on average to their tax liabilities.

Retailers expect boon from Energy Star program

BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Shoppers who buy certain home appliances this weekend will have a chance to get great buys and some cash back, like car buyers did last summer.

North Carolina’s Energy Star Appliance Replacement and Rebate Program begins today and will run until the state’s $8.8 million in funds for the program runs out, according to the North Carolina Energy Office.

The program, sometimes referred to as the home appliance version of Cash for Clunkers, allows customers to receive an instant 15 percent rebate on Energy Star-approved clothes washers, dish washers, refrigerators or freezers at participating stores. John Capes, store manager for Sears at Oak Hollow Mall, said Wednesday he expects to see a big boom in business this weekend as customers race to take advantage of the program before the money runs out. The store opened at 6 a.m. this morning.

“There is a sense of urgency and Black Friday feel to it,” Capes said. “We’ve seen a lot of interest. A lot

Like Cash for Clunkers, which was designed to replace older vehicles with new, more fuel-efficient ones, the Energy Star program aims to replace older home appliance models with new models that use significantly less energy.

Old appliances will be removed and recycled by the delivery company or the store, Capes said. However, a customer may still transport the new appliance home by their own means, he said.

“The point of the program is not to take the old appliance and put it back out on the market,” he said.

Dr. Richard Foster, dental director at Guilford Technical Community College, won first place in a national eLearning contest for a lesson that he developed for students entering the dental assisting /dental hygiene programs at the college.

His winning e-Learning creation on “Introduction to Dental Terminology” was for the best higher education lesson in the 2010 SoftChalk Lesson Challenge.

Thomasville bank opens new location today ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

THOMASVILLE – NewBridge Bank will open its new location in Thomasville during a two-fold event today.

According to a NewBridge Bank press release, the bank will open its much-anticipated, new Randolph Street office and concurrently donate its former office to the Thomasville Area Chamber of Commerce. The presentation of the keys to the bank’s former office and the ribbon cutting for the new office will begin at 8:30 a.m. at 919 Randolph St., adjacent to the

bank’s former location at 941 Randolph St. Several local dignitaries will join NewBridge Bank leaders for the dual ceremony, including Mayor Joe G. Bennett, Keith Tobin, chairman of the board of the Thomasville Area Chamber of Commerce, and Doug Croft, president of the Chamber.

“We are ecstatic to open our new Randolph Street location as we donate the former office to the Thomasville Area Chamber of Commerce,” said Tony Hyde, the Thomasville city executive for NewBridge Bank. “We thank our clients and the Thomasville com-

munity for sharing our excitement about this monumental step forward for both the bank and the chamber.”

According to the bank, the new, two-story office includes an expanded teller line, five drive-through banking lanes and a premier group of banking professionals offering personal and business banking, mortgage services, investment and trust services, and private banking. The branch manager is Carolyn Charette.

“We continuously look for ways to enhance service to our valued clients and pave the way for growth,”

said Pressley Ridgill, president and chief executive officer of NewBridge. “The Thomasville area offers excellent opportunity and potential for NewBridge Bank. In turn, we have opened a new, stateof-the-art office and remain focused on providing the highest quality products and services for personal banking clients and small to midsize businesses.”

Immediately following the presentation of the keys and ribbon cutting ceremonies, the community will be invited to join the NewBridge Bank team for refreshments inside the new office.

School board to review grant requests ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

GUILFORD COUNTY – School district officials are expected to settle the final details tonight for their federal school improvement grant application for Oak Hill Elementary in High Point and grants for two magnet schools in the city.

The Guilford County Board of Education will meet at 6 p.m. in the district administrative office in Greensboro.

Oak Hill Elementary has been identified by the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction as a Tier I persistent-

Oak Hill: Patrice Faison becomes principal on June 1.

School staff who leave Oak Hill will be allowed to transfer to other schools. Each of the 52 school staff members surveyed and a majority of surveyed parents and community members preferred the transformation model over the more drastic restart or closure alternatives.

Magnets: Montlieu Math and Science Academy and Parkview A + magnet schools also are on the district’s list of low-performing schools.

ly low-achieving school.

To be eligible for up to $6 million in grant funds, the school board approved the transformation intervention improvement

model, which requires a leadership change while at the same time allowing teachers to apply to keep their jobs.

Patrice Faison will be-

come Oak Hill principal on June 1. Currently principal of The Academy at Smith, Faison has worked in the district schools since 1995 and has been academy principal since 2007. Faison also served as assistant principal at Ragsdale High.

Faison succeeds Principal Sara Roberts.

Superintendent Mo Green chose the plan because it would not put a cap on the number of staff members that could return to the school.

District officials also are seeking grants to help adjust magnet themes at four schools including

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

Montlieu Math and Science Academy, which would focus on technology, and Parkview A+ Elementary, which would offer more arts specialties.

District officials began looking at Bluford Communications and Hampton Leadership Academy in Greensboro and the High Point schools because they met less than 70 percent of district academic and curriculum target goals.

The grants for magnet schools help district officials bring students from different social, economic, ethnic and racial backgrounds together.

Former IOC president Samaranch dies at 89 BARCELONA, Spain (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Juan Antonio Samaranch, a reserved but shrewd dealmaker whose 21year term as president of the International Olympic Committee was marked by both the unprecedented growth of the games and its biggest ethics scandal, died Wednesday at a hospital. He was 89.

Samaranch, a courtly former diplomat who served as Spanish ambassador in Moscow, led the IOC from 1980 to 2001. He was considered one of the defining presidents for building the IOC into a powerful global organization and firmly establishing the Olympics as a world force.

Samaranch was admitted to the Quiron Hospital in Barcelona on Sunday after experiencing heart trouble. The hospital said he died at 1:25 p.m. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If there is a good way to die, I guess it was this way,â&#x20AC;? Juan Antonio Samaranch Jr. told The Associated Press.

Walters, former Herman Miller executive, dies at 85 GRAND RAPIDS TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Glenn M. Walters, a former Herman Miller Inc. executive who was key in marketing the original open-plan office system that led to the now ubiquitous cubicle, has died. He was 85.

Walters died Sunday at his home in Kent Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Grand Rapids Township, Metcalf & Jonkhoff Funeral Service said. A cause of death wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t released.

Walters joined Zeeland-based Herman Miller in 1955 as a field salesman. In 1967, he led a task force that finished development and handled marketing for the Action Office system, which was introduced in 1968. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was selected as the person to take the product from research, put through design and development, and bring to market,â&#x20AC;? Tom Pratt, 74, of Holland, who worked with Walters, said

NC begins criminal justice analysis by outsiders RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Democratic and Republican leaders in North Carolina state government agree keeping the public safe doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily require locking up more convicts and building more prisons.

Gov. Beverly Perdue and lawmakers from both parties announced Wednesday the state will participate in a comprehensive effort to crunch prison data to determine how to lower recidivism rates and manage the offender population better.

The initiative is called Justice Reinvestment and will last one to three years.

Wednesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was a dynamo and he pulled the company together.â&#x20AC;?

The Action Office system, with its movable walls, was a departure from the typical fixed office desks of the time and helped make cubicles commonplace. The system became Herman Millerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most profitable product. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had the design and concept pretty well, but it had to be engineered for production,â&#x20AC;? Jack Kelley, 77, of Grand Haven, a designer who also worked with Walters, told The Grand Rapids Press. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The key thing about that system: it was never designed to be a cubicle. There was always an openness to it.â&#x20AC;?

Walters served in the U.S. Air Force from 1943 to 1945 and earned a bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree from the University of Michigan in 1948. He served as president of Herman Miller from 1980 until 1982, when he retired.

Bowles disappointed with NC budget proposal MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

AP

Steve Benjamin (second from left) reacts at his campaign headquarters in Columbia, S.C., on Tuesday after finding out that he was elected as the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new mayor. Voters in Columbia picked a black mayor for the first time in the history of South Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capital city.

Columbia, SC, elects first black mayor COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Hours after his historic win to become the first black mayor of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capital city, Steve Benjamin was in a car crash but not injured early Wednesday morning as he drove to Columbia television stations for interviews.

Benjamin, 40, was driving east on one of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main thoroughfares at about 6 a.m. when his Mercedes SUV collided with a Toyota Tercel turning right just blocks from South Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Statehouse.

Benjamin, a law-

yer and lobbyist, was checked out by emergency workers at the scene but was not taken to a hospital. The driver of the Toyota was cut out of the vehicle and taken to a hospital, authorities said.

Authorities have not released her name, but multiple media outlets reported that Deborah Rubens had been driving to work as a server at the Clarion Hotel, less than a block from the crash.

Police spokesman Brick Lewis said officers did not suspect Benjamin had been

drinking, and no field sobriety tests were administered to either driver.

Benjamin said in a statement that he was praying for the driver and hoped to visit her in the hospital. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because of my position as Mayor-Elect, I requested that the city ask another law enforcement agency to participate in the investigation to avoid the appearance of favoritism,â&#x20AC;? Benjamin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would be inappropriate for me to comment before they have finished their work.â&#x20AC;?

Benjamin won a runoff election Tuesday over City Councilman

Clean plates could be hazardous to kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; health

D

ear Abby: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Milwaukee Grandmaâ&#x20AC;?

(Feb. 16) was â&#x20AC;&#x153;appalled to see the number of adults who forced their children to eatâ&#x20AC;? in restaurants. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Grandmaâ&#x20AC;? is absolutely right. Children will eat when hungry and stop when they have had enough. The old saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;Clean your plateâ&#x20AC;? is contributing to the obesity epidemic. Children are born with the ability to self-regulate their food intake. Notice how many babies move their heads away from the bottle or breast when they are full.

Eating out is expensive, and restaurants tend to serve portions that are larger than necessary for a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s small stomach.

Instead of forcing the child to finish, parents should take half the dinner home for a later time.

The obesity epidemic is based on many factors, including excessive meal portions, decreased physical activity, abundance of junk food, and lack of available and affordable healthy foods in some areas of the country â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to name a few.

Parents can make a difference by involving their children in the shopping for and preparation of meals, eating as a family with the TV shut off and making activity fun and a part of the everyday routine. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Dietitian in Gardner, Mass.

Dear Dietitian: Thank you for enlightening me

ADVICE Dear Abby

regarding the obesity epidemic. A number of other readers weighed in on the topic with interesting insights.

Read on:

Dear Abby: I was raised by parents who forced me to â&#x20AC;&#x153;clean my plate or else.â&#x20AC;? They were the ones who fixed my plate or decided what to order us kids in restaurants. Eating became a negative experience as I was growing up.

It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t until I got counseling prior to my gastric bypass surgery that I learned to stop eating when I was full instead of feeling guilty unless I cleaned my plate. In counseling, I was told it was OK to leave food on my plate â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but by then I weighed 400 pounds.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better to teach children to eat at mealtime, be responsible when it comes to snacking and â&#x20AC;&#x153;listen to your bodyâ&#x20AC;? when it says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m full.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Happy With My Weight Now â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013;

Dear Abby: As a family and consumer sciences educator, one of the courses I teach in child development is â&#x20AC;&#x153;division of responsibility.â&#x20AC;? This means itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; responsibility to offer

Kirkman Finlay III to become Columbiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first black mayor. Benjamin won the initial election two weeks ago by about 1,000 votes, but fell well short of the majority needed to avoid a runoff.

Benjamin spent three years running the South Carolina Department of Probation, Pardon and Parole, leaving the agency for an unsuccessful run for attorney general in 2002.

He will replace Mayor Bob Coble, who decided to step down last year after two decades in office to spend more time with his family and concentrate on his law practice.

New city leader unhurt after accident

CHAPEL HILL â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Beverly Perdueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spending plan, which calls for $1 billion in cuts, supports the UNC Board of Governorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; proposal to keep revenue from tuition increases for 2010-11 on campuses for need-based financial aid.

But universities would have to trim budgets by 4 percent, which would come on top of a 2 percent reduction already mandated by state lawmakers for fiscal year 2010-11.

While appreciative of the governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s support for the proposal to keep money from tuition increases for need-based financial aid proposal, UNC system President Erskine Bowles said the system is â&#x20AC;&#x153;disappointed in the magnitude of budget cutsâ&#x20AC;? that could force the system to eliminate 1,200 additional positions, half of which would be faculty members. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The inevitable result would be further increases in class size and fewer course offerings, the elimination and reduc-

tion of student support programs and the elimination of critical administrative positions tied to academic and financial integrity,â&#x20AC;? Bowles said in a statement Tuesday.

Board of Governors Chairwoman Hannah Gage said the board will work hard to convince the legislature that a 2 percent cut makes more sense, especially after the system took a disproportionately large cut last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have enormous respect for Gov. Perdue and the challenges sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s facing, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re pleased with much of her higher education budget, but cutting more than 2 percent eliminates faculty and damages the academic coreâ&#x20AC;? Gage said in an emailed response to questions.

She added: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our job is to protect the quality of the system and 4 percent on top of what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already cut goes beyond that point and erodes quality.â&#x20AC;?

Bowles also expressed concern about diminishing the quality of the university system as a result of Perdueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget recommendation.

Yesterday’s Bible question: Did Abraham bind his son Isaac and lay him on an altar?

Answer to yesterday’s question: Yes. “And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him upon the altar upon the wood.”

Executive makes it his business to give farming practices.

With every new move he has made over the years, GIVING 101 there was a moment Paul of truth at Lessard which he â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; was forced to make a choice that would cost him more money.

What has made Chouinard one of the poster boys of radical corporate philanthropy is that he consistently chooses the path that is true to his values and principles and â&#x20AC;&#x201C; surprise â&#x20AC;&#x201C; almost every one of these endeavors has proven to be a successful business move which has ultimately benefited his bottom line.

In his book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Let My People Go Surfing,â&#x20AC;? he shares how his goal was never to be simply a successful businessman. In fact, the idea of accumulating wealth has very little interest for him.

He instead strives to make the very best products that will enhance the outdoor experience for his customers and at the same time change our world for the better.

Maybe you could call this a â&#x20AC;&#x153;win-win-winâ&#x20AC;? approach to commerce, or perhaps you might just want to consider it a smart and ethical way to do business and life.

n todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hyperinformed culture, I see corporate giving becoming one of the most important choices a business can make, as it has the capacity to define dramatically the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leadership, vision and character.

I would go so far as to say that an organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s philanthropic philosophy and its corporate mission should be so intertwined that when we hear a companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name, it should be impossible to differentiate between the two.

One company, Patagonia, the innovative outdoors equipment manufacturer, has consistently shown that doing right can be good for business. It has underscored its long-term commitment to the environment by establishing a 1% for the Planet program, which promises that one penny out of every dollar you spend with them will go to support environmental causes.

Its founding Chairman Ivon Chouinard is a fascinating guy who has turned the corporate world on its ear with his very unorthodox approach to business.

Throughout the years he has repeatedly made bold choices, from instituting flex-time to accommodating working mothers and a work force that takes its outdoors activities very seriously, to becoming an innovator in using completely recyclable materials in its clothing, to paying more for raw materials to encourage environmentally sound

Congestive heart failure not a death sentence

D

ear Dr. Donohue: During the past three years, my husband, 79, has changed from being a very active man to one who does little. I take him with me to the grocery store, and he huffs and puffs as we walk the aisles. I worried about that and insisted he see a doctor.

The doctor says he has congestive heart failure.

Is this a death sentence?

What can be done for it?

– M.O.

BLONDIE

Congestive heart failure – heart failure, for short – indicates that the heart is not as strong as it was. It beats feebly.

It pumps less blood with each beat. Blood backs up and “congests” the lungs and the veins.

Breathlessness is one of its signs. Swollen ankles and legs are another sign. Fatigue often overwhelms patients. Their bodies are not getting the oxygen they need.

Poor circulation through heart arteries, uncontrolled blood pressure and heart valve problems are some of the causes of congestive heart failure.

Medicines can ease the strain on the failing heart and can improve its pumping strength.

Water pills rid the body of retained fluid, another consequence of heart failure. If part of your husband’s problem is heart arteries clogged with cholesterol, a statin drug – the powerful cholesterol-lowering medicines – will be

Novel therapies are sometimes employed.

One such therapy is restoring the normal, synchronous contractions of the heart’s pumping chambers. That can be done with a special kind of pacemaker.

Your husband’s not on death’s doorstep. Close cooperation with his doctor will give him many more years of active life.

Dear Dr. Donohue: In 2007, I submitted to you a letter explaining my overcoming terrifying bouts of sleep apnea and snoring. I am resubmitting it in hopes it will be of service to others.

For years my snoring was like a chainsaw ripping through an oak tree (according to my wife). I also had apnea.

I couldn’t breathe for a time. Then suddenly my body would convulse mightily for air. I had a heart attack. My doctor said if I lost weight,

changed my diet and stuck to an exercise program, I wouldn’t need to have an operation. I did all. I lost 15 pounds.

My wife changed our diet to one with lots of fish, poultry, fruits and vegetables. Since then I have had no snoring and no sleep apnea, and I feel better than ever. – A.S. Your story is a testimonial for what diet, weight loss and exercise can do for heart patients and sleep apnea patients. I should have submitted it for publication years ago.

Dear Dr. Donohue: Am I ruining all the vitamins in vegetables by microwaving them? Two friends insist that microwaves destroy nutrients.

Is that the case? – P.R. Microwaving vegetables retains more vitamins than preparing them in any other way.

Cooking time is greatly reduced in a microwave, one element in preserving nutrients.

In addition, the amount of water added to the vegetables is tiny compared with other ways of cooking. Few vitamins and nutrients leach into the water.

Orphaned Apache girl presents danger HALLMARK CHANNEL

n the Depression Era Sierra Madre Badlands, a man’s search for adventure leads him to drama, peril and romance.

Brian Austin Green and Oscar nominee Graham Greene star in “The Wild Girl,” a Hallmark Channel original movie premiering at 8 p.m. Saturday. Kathleen Munroe co-stars.

An unlikely team embarks on a rescue mission in the Sierra Madre

Badlands but are put into danger when they stumble upon an orphaned Apache girl abandoned in the wilderness.

Brian Austin Green (“Beverly Hills, 90210”) and Oscar-nominated actor Graham Greene (“Dances With Wolves”) star in the riveting adventure story based on the 2005 novel, “The Wild Girl: The Notebooks of Ned Giles, 1932,” written by Jim Fergus.

In Chicago in 1932, young photographer Ned

Giles (Green) is struggling to get published in the Chicago Tribune.

One day, Ned sees a flyer advertising the “Great Apache Expedition,” a mission that will combine the wealthy men of America with a Mexican army to rescue Gerald Huerta, the kidnapped son of a rich Mexican landowner and return him to his father.

Partnering with Tolley Phillips (Matthew Edison, “Murder on Her Mind”), who wants to prove to his

father he is more than just a spoiled rich boy, Ned travels to Mexico, camera in hand. Joining them are Margaret Hawkins (Kathleen Munroe, “Accidental Friendship”), a beautiful anthropology student with a big heart, and Mr. Browning (Andrew Gillies, “Why I Wore Lipstick to My Mastectomy”), a refined English gentleman who serves as Tolley’s valet.

The team enlists native Apache scouts Joseph

(Greene) and his grandson Albert (Gregory Odjig, “Elijah”), to guide them to the kidnapped boy, but when Albert makes it clear he has a deep resentment of whites, it seems impossible the group will be able to work together.

They run into more trouble when Ned encounters a wild Apache girl, Chideh (Lola Tash), who belongs to the same dangerous tribe of Indians that kidnapped the boy

FILM REVIEW

In concert

THE DRIFTERS featuring Charlie Thomas and Gene “Duke of Earl” Chandler are in concert at 8 p.m. Saturday at the High Point Theatre, 220 E. Commerce Ave. Both rhythm and blues groups became popular in the 1960s, and in the South their music was called “beach music.” The Drifters had hits including “Under the Boardwalk,” “Save the Last Dance for Me,” “Some Kind of Wonderful,” “Up on the Roof” and “This Magic Moment.” Chandler big hit was “Duke of Earl,” and he also had 19 songs in the Top 40 during the 1960s. $30 for seats in the orchestra, $25 for balcony, www. highpointtheatre.com, 88703001

C

Murder and love, melodrama and laughter intertwine in the long and winding Argentine film “The Secret in Their Eyes,” this year’s surprise winner of the foreign-language Oscar.

To say that writer-director Juan Jose Campanella’s movie is all over the place would be unfair, and inaccurate.

He shows a sure hand technically, including a lengthy, singletake shot at a soccer stadium that will make you hold your breath. But even that scene, accomplished as it is, seems to come out of nowhere: another random piece in a packed pastiche. There’s just a lot going on here, we’ll put it that way.

The performances are what frequently hold the film together when it seems at loose ends, namely from stars Ricardo Darin, Soledad Villamil and Guillermo Francella.

Darin in particular commands the screen, especially given that he must play the same character in two vastly different points in time – and he does so believably.

Based on Eduardo Sacheri’s novel “El pregunta de sus ojos,” ‘’The Secret in Their Eyes” skips back and forth between an unresolved 1974 rape and killing of a beautiful young woman and 1999, when a retired criminal court investigator still finds himself haunted by the crime. Darin’s Benjamin Esposito is writing a novel about the case, which inspires him to visit Irene Menendez Hastings (Villamil), who’s now a judge but was then a young, brilliant colleague.

CROSSWORD

Thursday, April 22, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Francis Capra, 27; Eric Mabius, 39; Sherri Shepherd, 43; Jack Nicholson, 73 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Both personally and professionally, the sky is the limit this year. All you have to do is take advantage of each situation as it arises. Don’t let your emotions or your stubbornness stand in the way. Weigh the pros and cons of every situation to ensure you don’t miss out on interesting changes with the potential to parlay into much more. Your numbers are 2, 12, 18, 22, 29, 33, 39 ARIES (March 21-April 19): You deserve a break, so enjoy friends or do something that will enhance your body, mind or spirit. A little pampering now will go a long way toward easing your stress. Network or get together with people who stimulate your mind. ★★★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You will have to watch what you spend. Someone close to you may be pushing you to be less frugal, so it’s vital you say no in a diplomatic but firm manner. Suggest entertaining but inexpensive alternatives. ★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Do your own work in order to avoid criticism. A serious approach to your financial situation will help you avoid a costly mistake – not to mention an unnecessary purchase. ★★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Taking on too much will result in doing a poor job. Before you put a scar on your reputation, rethink your strategy. Love is in the stars and, with a little effort, you can enhance your relationship or be brought in contact with someone very special. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): It will be difficult not to take personally situations that develop. Problems with a colleague, peer, friend or relative will lead to emotional upset. Do not show your feelings or you will jeopardize your position. ★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The more you do to keep everyone on the same page as you, the better your chance of completing your plans. A trip will pay off. A love relationship can be magnified with a few simple gestures to confirm your feelings. ★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Tuck your money in a safe place. You will be tempted to spend on friends, entertainment or donating to a questionable cause. Consider a venture that utilizes a skill or talent in order to bring in extra cash. ★★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You are likely to take things the wrong way, especially when dealing with people at work. Jealousy will be the problem and must be avoided. Concentrate on what you need to get done and ignore what everyone around you is doing. ★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Greater involvement with different cultural beliefs, traditions or entertainment will entice you. Someone you are close to may be threatened by your recent choices. Avoid being too forthcoming with your plans. ★★★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Make changes at home that reflect your state of mind and your philosophy in life. You can stabilize your position with open and honest communication. Love is on the rise, so enhance your relationship by highlighting your common interests. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): If you don’t put in the effort, you won’t get the return. This applies to whatever you do or pursue. Be willing to go the distance and listen to experience and advice being offered. Avoid a negative response. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Think big when it comes to your professional goals. There are opportunities but not if you are chasing an impossible dream. Know your strengths and use what you’ve got to your advantage. An important partnership will take on a serious connotation. ★★★

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

I’m at the age where I often look back with regret on some of the mistakes I made by resisting temptation – but I’ve seldom regretted it when I waited to draw trumps.

In today’s deal, West leads a trump against four hearts, and declarer seems to have no reason not to draw trumps: He has a solid 10-card trump suit. But look what happened in a team match. At one table, South drew trumps, and East seized his opportunity to discard an informative king of spades.

When South next lost a club to the king, West knew to lay down his ace of spades, and the defense took three spades for down one.

HOROSCOPE

DAILY QUESTION

SECOND TRUMP

You hold: S 9 8 4 H K J 10 5 3 D A K C A Q J. Your partner opens one diamond, you respond one heart and he bids 1NT. The opponents pass. What do you say?

At the other table, declarer tried the club finesse at Trick Two. When West took the king, he had no idea how to continue.

Even as you or I, he led another trump, and then South cashed the A-J of clubs to pitch one of dummy’s spade losers. He lost two spades and a club.

Never draw trumps unless you see no problems whatever. If you see none at first glance, look again.

ANSWER: This hand is not quite as strong at it seems since too many of the honors are stuck in short suits. Nevertheless, you may have a good slam: Partner may hold A Q 3, Q 2, Q 10 8 6 5, K 7 6. Raise to 4NT, not the Blackwood ace-asking convention but a “quantitative” raise to invite 6NT. 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.

Charlotte’s Gerald Wallace (3) draws the charging foul against Orlando’s Matt Barnes (22) in the first half of Wednesday night’s Game 2 of their NBA first-round playoff series.

Magic stops Bobcats ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) – The Dwight Howard-Vince Carter combo again wasn’t perfect – just good enough to win.

Carter finished with 19 points, Howard scored 15 and the Orlando Magic took a 20 series lead with a 92-77 victory over the Charlotte Bobcats on Wednesday night.

The Magic’s star duo was less than stellar but took over when it counted most. They combined for 21 second-half points to help Orlando build a 20-point lead and hold on late.

Stephen Jackson showed no effects from his hyperextended left knee to score 27 points, and Gerald Wallace had 15 points for the Bobcats. But their 21 turnovers are a big reason why they’re heading home still searching for the franchise’s first playoff win.

Game 3 in the best-of-seven series is Saturday in Charlotte. The Bobcats went more than eight minutes to start the game with only three points, and had just one field goal with six turnovers during the stretch.

Payne lands Glenn football job

BY STEVE HANF ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

WINSTON-SALEM – After 15 years as an assistant coach, Aldine Payne now gets to try his hand at calling the shots.

Officials at Glenn High School announced Wednesday that Payne will take over the Bobcats football program. Payne has coached at the school under Dickie Cline since 2002 and spent seven years prior to that as an assistant at T. Wingate Andrews, first for Charlie Metcalf and then Dave Mizell.

“It’s an honor to get it,” Payne said. “It’s something that, probably since my last year at Andrews, I wanted to become a head coach. But I wasn’t really looking.”

Instead, the opening found him. Cline resigned earlier this spring, essentially due to budget cuts from the state that restricted teachers from “double dipping,” or receiving salaries from teaching while also collecting retirement pay. Cline retired in 2004 after 30 years in education and had been working full time at the school, but would have needed to land a non-existent halftime position to stay.

“I’m happy for him,” Cline said of Payne’s hiring. “I gave him an opportunity a few years ago to be the assistant head coach in hopes he would someday get the opportunity. The opportunity is now.”

Payne played football at Ledford and was on the field the night Cline recorded his first high school win. Remarkably, Payne was an assistant with the Panthers when Cline got his 200th win at the school.

The past seven years, Payne also has

served as Glenn’s softball head coach – a job that will keep him busy through the end of the school year. It remains to be seen if Payne will continue leading both sports.

Administrators told him simply to “try to win the conference, then you and your wife sit down and see what you want to do,” Payne said.

Kim Payne coaches the girls basketball team at North Davidson, where the couple’s daughter, Alex, will be a senior next year.

The Paynes’ oldest daughter, Katie, is at East Carolina University.

“It’s tough being the second-best coach in the family,” Aldine said with a chuckle.

“Well, maybe third-best: Alex is coaching 8-under AAU (basketball) and they’re a lot better at it than I am. She coaches like her mama, not me.”

Also at issue is the 47-year-old Payne’s health. The coach recently had half of his right foot removed due to complications from a lawnmower accident earlier in his life. He said he’s on the foot more during softball season than football, and he continues to see doctors about the pain caused by the injury.

For all that, though, Payne remains eager to take the football program’s reins. Glenn finished 8-3 last year in the Piedmont Triad 4A and returns what Payne called a “good group of seniors.

“Being over about 10 coaches, organizing practices, breaking down film, stuff like that,” Payne said. “That’s what I look forward to.” shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

WHO’S NEWS

I

n an environment in which millions of dollars are necessary to make cars go and new sponsors aren’t flocking to put their names on Cup cars, the fight for existing companies in the sport is ruthless.

Richard Childress Racing has been one of the most aggressive in the money wars, having taken Caterpillar from Bill Davis Racing and General Mills from Petty Enterprises – helping contribute to the demise of both.

Although not in any danger of going out of business, RCR found itself on the other side of the sponsorship fight Wednesday as the silly season leading up to 2011 SPORTS continued to churn.

Shell-Pennzoil announced it Greer will not renew its sponsorship Smith of RCR’s No. 29 currently driven ■■■

by Kevin Harvick and will move to Penske Racing’s cars driven by Kurt Busch.

Penske announced Busch will move from car No. 2 to No. 22 (the number used by Bill Davis Racing) with Brad Keselowski going from No. 12 to the No. 2 sponsored by Miller Light.

Keselowski is currently in a car sponsored

by Verizon, which took over the sponsorship when it acquired Alltel and cannot put its logos on the car because of conflict with series sponsor Sprint.

The Shell deal, which includes associate backing of Penske’s cars in the Indy Racing League, also means Mobil sponsorship of cars driven by Sam Hornish Jr. will go away. A Penske spokesman told ESPN.com the team intends to field three cars next season and that a new sponsor for Hornish’s car is to be announced.

The move to Penske is a homecoming for Pennzoil, which backed Penske in Indy cars, winning the Indianapolis 500 with Rick Mears in 1984 and 1988.

Shell has sponsored RCR’s No. 29 since the start of the 2007 season. The relationship got off to a great start when Harvick opened that season by winning the Daytona 500. Since then, Harvick has not won a points race.

The Shell move comes at a time RCR is also trying to retain Harvick and makes RCR a prime contender for Budweiser’s backing should that company decide to leave Richard Petty Motorsports and not go with Kasey Kahne to Hendrick Motorsports.

“I’m disappointed that our partnership will conclude at the end of the year but understand some of the reasons that went into their business decision,” RCR owner Richard Childress said in a statement. “RCR will continue to provide Shell-Pennzoil the highest caliber program possible, keeping in sharp focus the ultimate goal of winning the 2010 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship. What this creates for RCR is the opportunity for a new partner to forge its own relationship and identity with Kevin Harvick and the championship-level team led by crew chief Gil Martin, our other race teams and drivers, and our other 35 partners. The No. 29 team has had only two primary sponsors since it began in 2001 but the number 3 has played a significant role at RCR for decades. We feel strongly that the third chapter of the No. 29 team’s partnership history will be a successful one.”

Over at Penske, Keselowski is aware he must win as driver of the No. 2 to continue a Penske/ Miller heritage that began with Rusty Wallace in the early 1990s.

“Whoever drives that car has got to perform,” said Keselowski, the defending champion at Talladega on Sunday.

Two teams not performing helped Childress take their sponsors. Not getting to victory lane certainly didn’t help Childress with Shell. That’s the way the big money game goes in NASCAR.

BASEBALL PHILADELPHIA ATLANTA

the drama from 6-8 p.m., then the action shifts to ESPN2 beginning at 8 p.m.

Saturday brings the finale, but not in prime time. ESPN covers rounds 4-7 from 10 a.m. until the conclusion.

I love the NFL Draft as much as anyone.

Mel Kiper Jr. rocks.

But two nights and one day? That qualifies as too much of a good thing.

Even the most ardent draft watcher will

shift from “I can’t believe that guy’s still on the board!” to “Gosh, I’m really bored!” before the Saturday ending.

The league struck a perfect balance with its Saturday-Sunday NFL Draft bonanza in recent years.

I’m afraid this three-part mini-series may fail to live up to the all-time greats of the genre.

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

– MARK MCKINNEY ENTERPRISE SPORTS EDITOR

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was suspended for six games without pay Wednesday for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy and ordered to undergo behavioral evaluation.

Commissioner Roger Goodell handed down the punishment a week after prosecutors decided not to charge Roethlisberger in a case involving a 20-year-old college student who accused him of sexually assaulting her in a Georgia nightclub in March.

The suspension could be reduced to four games for good behavior.

APPALACHIAN STATE HIRES CAPEL

---

BOONE (AP) – Appalachian State turned to a familiar coaching family on Wednesday, making Jason Capel the youngest men’s basketball coach in NCAA Division I. At 30 years, three months, Capel, who was born in 1980, is three months younger than Wisconsin-Green Bay coach Brian Wardle.

Capel replaces Buzz Peterson, who left for UNC Wilmington last week after his second stint with the Mountaineers lasted just one season. Capel was an assistant to Peterson last year – his only experience as a coach.

It didn’t stop athletic director Charlie Cobb from promoting Capel, whose older brother, Jeff III, coaches Oklahoma.

His father, Jeff Jr., is an assistant with the NBA’s Charlotte Bobcats.

Capel played at North Carolina and led the Tar Heels in scoring at 15.6 points as a senior in 2001-02.

“We have a great group of guys in place in our program and I’m really proud to be able to coach them,” Capel said.

Westchester hoops adds coveted big man

BY STEVE HANF ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

HIGH POINT â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Many a night last winter, Pat Kahny lamented the absence of a true big man on the court for Westchester Country Day School.

This winter, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be opposing coaches doing all the lamenting when the Wildcats walk in the gym.

School officials confirmed Wednesday that Quincy Miller has been accepted at Westchester following a review of his â&#x20AC;&#x153;scholastic record, test scores, teacher recommendations and personal and

family interviews,â&#x20AC;? said Westchester Head of School Dr. James M. Cantwell.

The 6-foot-10 Miller, one of the top-rated prep players in the class of 2011, recently left Quality Education Academy of Winston-Salem. As a junior, Miller averaged 25 points and 12 rebounds a night for QEA and reportedly has scholarship offers from the likes of Duke, Wake Forest and Kentucky. The Chicago native is rated the No. 2 power forward in the class of 2011 by Scout.com.

Kahny declined comment Wednesday, citing the desire of school officials to handle the announcement. But the addition

of Miller to a roster also boasting Deuce Bello and Ike Nwamu in the backcourt makes for a dream team. Bello already has received scholarship offers from countless colleges, while Nwamu is another hugely talented guard who helped Westchester finish 27-2 last winter.

In the statement from the school, Cantwell said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Westchester Country Day School is pleased to announce the acceptance of current high school junior Quincy Miller. With respect to Westchesterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s established academic requirements, the Head of School and the admissions com-

mittee conducted an extensive review of Quincyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scholastic record, test scores, teacher recommendations, and personal and family interviews to confirm that Westchester would be a good fit to meet his needs and future goals, as is the process with any applicant to Westchester Country Day School. Westchester is also pleased that Quincy is a passionate and talented basketball player and we look forward to watching him grow and develop both as an athlete and a scholar at Westchester Country Day School.â&#x20AC;? shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

Brown targets Bowman Gray history The time for Tim Brown to take his first shot at making Bowman Gray Stadium history is here.

The quarter-mile track will kick off its 62nd season on Saturday night with the annual 200-lap Modified season opener, affording Brown the opportunity to begin his first shot at a ninth championship and wiping out the record of eight titles established by Lexingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ralph Brinkley and tied by Brown last season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I grew up thinking about how cool it would be to win the most championships at Bowman Gray,â&#x20AC;? said Brown, the defending champion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pretty much speechless.â&#x20AC;?

One of his main rivals is again expected to be Burt Myers, who along with Brown and Junior Miller have won all of the stadiumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s championships since 1996.

Myers lost the championship by 40 points to Brown after getting off to a slow start. Myers had more victories and led more laps after switching to a Ford engine in midseason. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For years over here, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if I really understood how down on horsepower I was until I got this Ford motor,â&#x20AC;? said Myers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now the car doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to handle quite as well because I can run down the straightaway faster. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to say it makes my job easy, but it makes it a little easier. It takes a little bit of the stress off of me.â&#x20AC;?

Qualifying for the Modifieds and the Sportsman division is scheduled Friday.

the battle for Caraway Speedwayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s late model championship last Saturday.

York won the first of two 75-lap Late Model Stock races and finished third in the second as Swaim came in second in both, creating a wash in standings that kept Swaimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advantage over York at 12 points.

Dan Moore and Ryan Wilson are tied for third, 32 off the top.

Wilson got his first win of the season in the second race. Ryan Robertson of Wallburg was fourth and eighth. Harrison Rhodes of High Point was sixth in the first race. Pete Stewart was seventh in both events.

Josh Lowder remained perfect in the Limited Late Model class, getting hit third victory in three starts and upping his lead over Thomasvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Junior Kendrick to eight points. Kendrick finished second with Ross Dalton third.

The seats will be filled, the phones will be in use red carpet.

Tennessee defensive tackle and the draft board will get tweaked.

They just probably won’t get to participate in the NFL draft until Dan Williams will be ready for that big, Oscar-like question: a day later. Despite their history of bold, draft-day deals, general manager Marty Hurney doesn’t expect the Panthers to trade into the “Who are you wearing?”

The NFL is going for glitz over first round this year.

“You never know, but I’d say it’s probably unlikely,” Hurney said. the blitz as it moves its draft to The Panthers dealt this year’s first-round pick to San Francisco a year prime time today.

The first round now has its own ago to take defensive end Everette Brown in the second round. The day on the most popular night for Panthers traded a future first-round pick in 2008, too, to get another watching TV, and the players are first so they could take starting right tackle Jeff Otah.

The first round starts at 7:30 p.m. EDT today. Rounds 2-3 begin at 6 p.m. Friday, with the last four rounds taking place Saturday.

Sixteen players have been invited to attend, up from nine last year. More invited players and more attention mean more pressure on the draftees to make a fashion statement worthy of the Academy Awards, where celebrities are breathlessly asked on the red carpet which designer’s clothes they are wearing.

Williams conceded he was nervous about which suit to pick.

“I want to look good,” he said.

ESPN senior coordinating producer Jay Rothman said the network’s first-round coverage will focus on the human drama of the players.

HPU men place fifth in Big South golf SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

NINETY-SIX, S.C. – The High Point University men’s golf team shot 300 on the third and final day of the 2010 Big South Men’s Golf Championship to finish in fifth with a combined team score of 890 on Wednesday.

Freshman Chase Wilson led the Panthers with a one-under 71 to move into a tie for 18th with a 54-hole score of 223 (79-69-75).

“I was extremely proud of the team this week,” HPU head coach JB White said. “Obviously we would have liked to stay where we were but to hold third place for two rounds was pretty good.

If you count Presbyterian we would have been seeded eighth so I feel pretty good about fifth. To finish ahead of three solid teams is pretty good for us. It was nice

to see Chase hit under par today and nice to have one player under par each day. That makes me feel pretty good next year.”

HPU’s three round score of 890 is the second-lowest by the Panthers in a Big South Championship and the best since High Point shot 887 at the Sea Trail Golf Resort in 2002.

Junior DJ Dougherty was the top HPU finisher in the championship, carding a final-round 77 to finish in a tie for 15th with a three-round score of 222 (69-7677). Sophomore Curtis Brotherton shot 75 on Wednesday and finished tied with Wilson for 18th with a three-day total of 223 (7969-75), one stroke behind Dougherty.

Junior Nick Goins carded a final-round 77 and finished tied for 21st with a total score of 225

(75-73-77), while Evan LaRocque scored an 80 on the final 18 to finish the championship in 31st with a score of 233 (76-77-80).

“I feel really good about my performance this week,” Wilson said. “Anytime you finish under par in your final round you can’t be disappointed. I started off real solid with pars on my first seven holes. I hit it real close to the pin on eight and was able to get an eagle and that really got me started.”

No. 1 seed Coastal Carolina held off last day surges by both Charleston Southern and Liberty to win its seventh-straight Big South title with a three-day score of 868. CSU finished four strokes behind Coastal with a combined team score of 872 while Liberty fired a final round 281 to pull within one of Charleston South-

ern, finishing with a three-day score of 873. Winthrop recovered from a score of 308 on Tuesday to shoot 287 on Wednesday, finishing fourth with a score of 886.

Gardner-Webb shot 290 in the third round, finishing sixth with a score of 897 and Radford finished seventh with a score of 907 after shooting 305 in the third round.

Presbyterian tied Radford with a score of 907 but was not included in the team standings due to its transition into Division I athletics.

Robert Karlsson of Liberty fired a final-round 66 to pass Coastal’s Dan Obremski for the individual title. Karlsson won by just two strokes over CSU’s Kelvin Day and by six over Obremski, who struggled all day on the way to a final-round 76.

MACEDONIA BASEBALL LEAGUE

---

The Macedonia Baseball League is in its 11th season and experiencing Great success as a league. Just 4 years ago there were 6 teams.

This season the Macedonia Baseball league has more kids and more teams than ever before.

The 2010 season has 12 little league teams serving 180 inner-city kids which is an increase of 45 kids from last year alone.

The Macedonia Baseball League is introducing baseball to many first time players but saddened by its lack of financial support. Due to an increasingly poor economy, many of our consistent, long-time supporters have been unable to give in 2010 leaving us in a bit of a crunch.

With our league participants at an all time high, we are in greater need now than ever before.

Many first year parents are excited about this opportunity to have their kids involved in a positive activity that will not strain their budgets.

Macedonia has two leagues; its little league serves boys and girls ages 9-12 and a Pony League that serves boys and girls 13-15 years old at no cost to them.

Anyone interested in supporting our youth players please feel free to contact Dell McCormick at the Macedonia Family Resource Center, 401 Lake Avenue or you may reach him at 8830300.

IMF predicts global growth WASHINGTON (AP) — The International Monetary Fund says the global economy, after enduring a crippling recession, should see better-than-expected growth this year, led by strength in China and other developing nations.

In an updated economic outlook, the IMF forecast that the world economy would expand 4.2 percent this year, faster than its previous projection and a sharp improvement from 2009 when global output fell by 0.6 percent, the worst performance since World War II. However, the international lending agency warned that the recovery still remained vulnerable with

Goldman CEO to testify before Senate NEW YORK (AP) — The Associated Press has learned that Goldman Sachs Group Inc. CEO Lloyd Blankfein will testify before a Senate panel next week as his company faces civil fraud charges.

Blankfein will answer questions before the Senate’s Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations on Tuesday, a person familiar with the matter has told The AP. He spoke on condition of anonymity because the appearance hasn’t been publicly announced.

AirTran may consider merger if approached ATLANTA (AP) — AirTran Airways isn’t putting up a for-sale sign, but the CEO of the discount carrier said Wednesday it would consider a combination with another carrier if approached and if such a deal made sense for the company and shareholders.

CEO Robert Fornaro made the comments during a conference call with investors to discuss the airline’s first-quarter financial results.

American Airlines parent reports loss DALLAS (AP) — The parent of American Airlines says it lost $505 million in the first quarter as traffic stabilized but didn’t improve much.

AMR Corp. also was hurt by the February snowstorms that closed airports and forced thousands of flights to be canceled along the East Coast, and by earthquakes in Haiti and Chile.

the biggest threat likely to come from a surge in government debt burdens.

“The outlook for activity remains unusually uncertain,” the IMF said in its latest World Economic Outlook. “Although a variety of risks have receded, downside risks related to the growth of public debt in advanced economies have become sharply more evident.”

The IMF’s estimate that the global economy would grow 4.2 percent this year, represented a 0.3 percentage point increase from the IMF’s January forecast.

For 2011, the IMF projected global growth of 4.3 percent, no change from its January outlook.

The IMF expects wide disparities between regions with the United States outperforming Europe and Japan but lagging behind China and other developing nations.

For the United States, the IMF expects growth of 3.1 percent this year, in line with private forecasters, after a 2.4 percent plunge in the U.S. gross domestic product in 2009, the biggest decline since 1946.

The IMF forecast that China’s economy would surge 10 percent this year and that India would grow 8.8 percent.

But it looked for the 16 European countries that share the euro currency would see economic growth of just 1 percent in 2010.

Morgan Stanley tops forecasts NEW YORK (AP) — Morgan Stanley said Wednesday its first-quarter profit surged to $1.41 billion on strong results from its trading operations. The investment bank easily topped analysts’ expectations.

Morgan Stanley said its earnings, which compare with a loss of $578 million a year ago, also came on a jump in its retail brokerage business. That’s a sign that individual investors might be getting more comfortable with returning to the stock market.

The investment bank, which was criticized last year for being too conservative as markets recovered, said it had $4.1 billion in sales and trading revenue, almost triple the $1.4 billion of a year earlier. Other banks with large trading operations, including JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Goldman Sachs Group Inc., also used trad-

ing profits to beat earnings’ forecasts.

The company’s stock rose $1.37, or 4.5 percent, to $31.82 in midday trading.

Banks have been profiting from continuing low interest rates that allow them to borrow money cheaply and put it into higher-yielding investments such as stocks.

Ruth Porat, the bank’s chief financial officer, said during a conference call with analysts that Morgan Stanley expects interest rates to remain low, which will help drive business in the coming quarters.

She also said the economy is improving. She repeated statements by executives at other banks in recent days.

“The global economy, it continues to heal and stabilize with positive data suggesting some durability to the recovery,” Porat said.

Panel OKs tougher derivatives rules WASHINGTON (AP) — A Senate panel has approved legislation that would limit the ability of Wall Street banks to trade complex financial tools called derivatives.

The bill offered by Senate Agriculture Committee Chairman Sen. Blanche Lincoln would also improve transparency of most derivative trades.

Lincoln’s proposal is more sweeping than those offered by the Obama administration

and the House.

Derivatives are financial products — such as corn futures — that rely on the value of some underlying investment. Companies use them to hedge against risks. But derivatives have become a vehicle for speculation, with critics blaming them for contributing to the financial crisis.

The measure is expected to be included in the financial overhaul bill in the Senate.

Overselling leads to stock pullback NEW YORK (AP) — The stock market stalled Wednesday after the glow of strong results at Apple Inc. and a few other companies faded.

The Dow Jones industrial average rose about 8 points, while broader indexes were mixed.

Technology and industrial shares drew buyers after Apple Inc. and Boeing Co. delivered results that topped expectations.

Health care stocks lagged on concerns that new health care laws will hurt the industry’s profits. Financial stocks also fell after traders speculated on the fallout from a potential overhaul of government regulations.

The good news on earnings wasn’t enough to give the market much of a lift.

Analysts caution that investors are starting to become accustomed to better earnings so even stellar numbers might not inject energy into stocks.

“This market is overbought and it really does need a little bit of a pullback. We’re priced for perfection,” said Burt White, chief investment officer for LPL Financial in Boston.

The Dow rose 7.86, or 0.1 percent, to 11,124.92, its third straight advance.

The Dow has risen nine of the past 10 days.

The broader Standard & Poor’s 500 index slipped 1.23, or 0.1 percent, to 1,205.94. The Nasdaq composite index rose 4.30, or 0.2 percent, to 2,504.61.

GM pays back loans from US, Canada DETROIT (AP) – General Motors Co. has repaid the $8.1 billion in loans it got from the U.S. and Canadian governments, a move its CEO says is a sign automaker is on the road to recovery.

GM CEO Whitacre announced the loan paybacks Wednesday at the company’s Fairfax Assembly Plant in Kansas City, Kan., where he said GM is investing $257 million in that factory and the Detroit-Hamtramck plant, both of which will build the next generation of the midsize Chevrolet Malibu.

The White House pointed to GM’s repayment of the loan and Chrysler LLC’s posting of an operating profit in the first quarter of 2010 as con-

crete signs that the bailout of the U.S. automakers was working.

In a report, they noted the American auto industry lost more than 400,000 jobs in 2008 and analysts estimated another 1 million would have been lost had GM and Chrysler liquidated.

In the past nine months, the White House said the industry has added 45,000 jobs, the strongest job growth in the industry in nearly a decade.

“This turnaround wasn’t an accident of history,” White House economic adviser Larry Summers said in a blog posting.

GM got a total of $52 billion from the U.S. government and $9.5 billion from the Canadian and

Ontario governments as it went through bankruptcy protection last year. At first the entire amount of U.S. aid was considered a loan as the government tried to keep GM from going under and pulling the fragile economy into a depression.

But during bankruptcy, the U.S. government reduced the loan portion to $6.7 billion and converted the rest to company stock, while the Canadian governments held $1.4 billion in loans.

The automaker hopes to repay the remaining $45.3 billion to the U.S. government and $8.1 billion to Canada via a public stock offering, perhaps later this year.

Chrysler posts loss, but cash balance grows DETROIT (AP) – Chrysler Group LLC says cost cuts, manufacturing efficiency and disciplined pricing helped the Italian-run automaker slash its net loss to $197 million in the first quarter.

The red ink was far less than the staggering $3.8 billion that Chrysler lost from the time it left bankruptcy protection June 10 through the end of last year, and the company says it is a sign that its turnaround plans are starting to work.

Chrysler, now run by

Italy’s Fiat Group SpA, said it posted a $143 million operating profit from selling cars and trucks, before interest and taxes.

The company issued its first financial results on Wednesday since 2007.

Moreover, Chrysler said it generated $1.5 billion in cash during the quarter, raising its reserves to $7.4 billion and reducing the likelihood that it will need more government aid. And the company predicted its

operations would break even or be slightly profitable this year.

“This positive operating result in the first quarter is a concrete indication to our customers, dealers and suppliers that the 2010 targets we have set for ourselves are achievable,” CEO Sergio Marchionne, who also heads Fiat, said in a statement. “We are also generating cash to finance the investments being made in our product portfolio and brand repositioning.”

Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner (from left,) Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and U.S. Secret Service Deputy Director Keith Prewitt watch the security features of the new design of the $100 bill as it is unveiled at the Treasury Department in Washington on Wednesday.

Government redesigns $100 bills WASHINGTON (AP) – The folks who print America’s money have designed a high-tech makeover of the $100 bill.

It’s part of an effort to stay ahead of counterfeiters as technology becomes more sophisticated and more dollars flow overseas, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke says.

The makeover, unveiled Wednesday by Bernanke and Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, may leave people wondering if there’s magic involved.

Benjamin Franklin is still on the C-note. But he has been joined by a disappearing Liberty Bell in an inkwell and a bright blue security ribbon composed of thousands of tiny lenses that magnify objects in mysterious ways.

Move the bill, and the objects move in a different direction.

The new currency will not go into circulation until Feb. 10 of next year.

That will give the government time to educate the public in the United States and around the world about the changes.

“We estimate that as many as two-thirds of all $100 notes circulate outside the United States,” said Bernanke, who stressed that the 6.5 billion in $100 bills now in circulation will remain legal tender.

The $100 bill, the highest value denomination in general circulation, is the last bill to undergo an extensive redesign.

The Bureau of Engraving and Printing began the process in 2003, adding splashes of color to spruce up first the $20 and then the $50, $10 and $5 bills.

The $1 bill isn’t getting a makeover.

The changes are aimed at thwarting counterfeiters who are armed with ever-more sophisticated computers, scanners and color copiers.

The $100 bill is the most frequent target of counterfeiters operating outside of the United States while the $20 bill is the favorite target of counterfeiters inside the country.

The redesigned $100 bill had originally been expected to go into circulation in late 2008 but it’s introduction was delayed to give the government time to refine all the new security features.

The government has prepared education resources in 25 languages to inform the public about the design changes and is giving people a chance to view the new bills on its Web site.
