Questions remain about threat of contamination BY KARISSA MINN kminn@salisburypost.com
Stanly County Commissioner Tony Dennis says he remembers how his father, who worked as a contractor with Alcoa, would drive up Falls Hill to the Old Brick Landfill in Badin where Al-
coa dumped waste materials from power generation. “That stuff was hauled all over the area,” Dennis said. “It could be anywhere in this county, and they’re not going to look into it.” By 2008, Alcoa acknowleged to the state it had found contaminated seepage at the
brick landfill dump site and another at its Badin Works plant. Cathy Akroyd, public information officer with the North Carolina Division of Waste Management, said Alcoa has had problems at the Badin site with PCBs and tricholoroethlyene (TCE). It
also has caused cyanide, arsenic and fluoride contamination from the production of aluminum. Kevin Anton, chief sustainability officer with Alcoa, said the company has taken measures to fix many of

State trying to get tourists down on the farm CARTHAGE (AP) — North Carolina is boosting business down on the farm by drawing tourists to the fields and livestock pens where few people work. The Agritourism Networking Association met Saturday near Carthage to talk about how to encourage rural tourism. The idea is to draw paying tourists to the country for hay rides, barnyard animals, corn mazes, bird watching, pumpkin patches and flower
picking. Other farms still grow food and add profits by running roadside produce stands or opening the fields for pick-your-own fruits and vegetables. Workshops held Saturday focused on marketing to people interested in buying local food and successful farm shops and stores. Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler says agritourism benefits farm families and local economies.

Senior services could join Senior Center BY KARISSA MINN kminn@salisburypost.com
County commissioners will discuss Monday whether or not to make the senior services department a part of RuftyHolmes Senior Center. The meeting of the Rowan County Board of Commissioners will be held at 6 p.m. Monday on the second floor of the J. Newton Cohen Sr. Rowan County Administration Building. Since the retirement of Director Clyde Fahnestock in November, county staff has been studying ways to reorganize the senior services department. Commissioners voted at a meeting in December to name a current employee as transportation director, which was one of Fahnestock’s responsibilities, and create a new department for Rowan Transit Services. At Wednesday’s planning retreat, County Manager Gary Page recommended that commissioners move the rest of the department under the umbrella of Rufty-Holmes. County employees working for senior services would become employees of the nonprofit and no longer receive county
benefits. They wouldn’t have to move to another location, because senior services currently operates out of the RuftyHolmes building. Rowan County still would be responsible for providing matching grant funds to the organization and could not cut its current appropriation. Page said this move could save the county more than $100,000 per year, but some commissioners balked at a condition from Rufty-Holmes that its employees be included in the county health insurance plan. County Commissioners Carl Ford and Jim Sides said Wednesday they might prefer moving senior services under the Department of Social Services instead. In other news, the board will consider approval Monday of a declaration of official intent to reimburse expenditures for the Rowan-Cabarrus Community College Bond. Before it takes action, Page said, the board will need to decide whether it plans to levy the voter-approved property tax to fund it all at once or in stages. Also at the meeting, commissioners plan to: • Hold public hearings for the fiscal
year 2012 Community Transportation Grant and the HOME Action Plan. A nonprofit group called RHA Health Services proposed last year that the county spend some HOME money to build a homeless veterans’ group home called Liberty Square. County Planning Director Ed Muire, though, is recommending the grant funding should all be used for housing rehabilitation. • Hold a public hearing for amendments to the county’s farmland preservation ordinance. • Hold a quasi-judicial hearing for a special use permit for Orica USA Inc. The company wants to construct a 5,922 square-foot expansion to an existing vehicle maintenance and fabrication building at 2075 High Rock Road in Gold Hill. • Consider a letter of support for the East Rowan Diamond Sports Project to build a new park off Oddie Road. • Meet in closed session about a real property purchase related to the Kannapolis Intimidators stadium.

NC cotton farmers ramping up production ENFIELD (AP) — Farmers in North Carolina are expected to plant more cotton this year because global demand is up, supply is down and it could earn more than some other crops. State Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler told WRAL-TV in Raleigh that there could be as much as a 20 percent increase in the number of acres of cotton harvested in North Carolina this year. That follows harvests of 540,000 acres last year and only 370,000 the year before. “We expect a pretty large increase in cotton acreage in North Carolina because of the attractiveness of the price and the potential profit margin out there,” he said. Cotton has jumped to a 150year-high, hitting $1.90 per pound earlier this month. That’s more than double the price a year ago. Cotton prices began soaring in August 2010 after bad weather cut harvests in major producing countries including China, the U.S., Pakistan and
Australia. Restrictions on exports from India, the world’s second-largest cotton exporter behind China, have also produced cotton shortages. On top of that, worldwide demand for cotton has risen as the global economy has improved. In fact, the cost of clothing climbed 1 percent in January as companies sought to offset the rising price of cotton. The National Cotton Council of America believes U.S. acreage planted this year will increase about 14 percent but that supplies will remain short. In the Southeast market, compared with a year ago, the price of a pound of cotton has risen more than $1. North Carolina farmers produced 970,000 bales of cotton last year, which was 27 percent more than in 2009. Right now, data shows that a farmer could gross about three times more with cotton than with soybeans per acre. But cotton can be risky because of planting and harvesting costs and because sales

North Carolina farmers may increase the number of acres for cotton production by 20 percent this year. prices are set before planting, which can lead to lost gains. “It’s about what kind of yield can you get with cotton versus corn or soybeans,” Troxler said. “The farmers are taking a sharp pencil and determining, what is my best opportunity to make a profit and where the least amount of risk is going to be.”
In Halifax County, farmer Jerry Hamill is weighing how much land to use on cotton and take from his soybean, peanut and corn crops. Hamill said he’ll be using more for cotton this year. “I don’t think anybody knows where it’s going to go, but the demand is great,” he said.
Group wants to raise prison age for teens New York automatically prosecute 16- and 17-yearolds as if they were adults. Ten states treat offenders under 17 as juveniles, and the remaining 38 states set the juvenile age at under 18. Supporters say keeping more 16- and 17-year-olds out of prison would keep them from being hardened by the experience, making it less likely they will commit more crimes and helping to protect potential victims.
Coast Guard advises of coastal dredging WILMINGTON (AP) — The Coast Guard is warning mariners that there will be dredging on the Cape Fear River for the next two months. The dredging is taking place in the vicinity of the upper and lower Brunswick reaches and the upper Big Island reaches, between green marker buoys 51 and 59. It continues through April 30. Dredge materials will be disposed of offshore in the
Ocean Dredge Materials Disposal Site. Mariners are urged to use extreme caution in these areas and around dredge equipment. The dredge operators monitor VHF-FM channels 13 and 16 and it is requested that all vessel traffic contact them 30 minutes prior to passage. All vessels are asked to proceed at a no-wake speed when passing the dredge.

fROM 1A became the foundation on which she built a legacy of excellence in the medical field. In the mid-1940s, the impact of World War II was being felt — specifically the shortage of nurses. The need for registered nurses under the Cadet Program was recognized. One summer day in 1947, Delaine requested a meeting between her mother and Margaret Green, the registered nurse. The purpose was to ask for help to apply for the cadet program. Despite the risks associated with promoting AfricanAmerican women at that time, nurse Green’s belief in the dedication and commitment and skills Delaine demonstrated convinced her to support Delaine. Green contacted a friend who was the director of the Cadet Nurse Program at Community Hospital in Wilmington and submitted Delaine’s application for approval. After two months, Delaine heard from the Cadet Nurse Program in Wilmington. She had been accepted. Delaine attended and graduated with honors from this program. She was then eligible to take the North Carolina State Board of Nursing examination. After returning home to Tabor Drive, Delaine was reacquainted with her high school friends, family and the Salisbury community. They were all proud of her accomplishments. Delaine’s final accomplishment to become a certified registered nurse was on hold because she was waiting to find out the results of the State Board examinations. While she was waiting, she accepted a temporary job at Rowan Memorial Hospital and the Woodson Foundation at the Boxwood Farm on U.S. 601 in Davie County. As Delaine reflects on her life, she remembers the segregation era and the many conversations she had with
Facing discrimination Many agencies in the South didn’t hire AfricanAmericans or women because of residual feelings and practices from the Civil War. Delaine didn’t let these obstacles stop her. She began a job at Rowan Memorial Hospital. Although it was segregated in terms of patient care, the doctor’s laboratory and X-ray departments were not. Delaine remembers how supportive her white coworkers, nurses and doctors were. This made her job easier. Finally, Delaine received notification that she passed the N.C. State Board examination. Delaine’s mother, Josie, and her mentor, Margaret Green, rejoiced in a dream come true. In 1950, Delaine married her childhood sweetheart, Everett Fleming. After many years, the marriage ended in divorce. During the marriage, Delaine achieved much in her career. She graduated from Community Hospital in Raleigh and from North Carolina Central University in Durham. She completed the U.A. NHCU Supervisor Course at the University of New Hampshire in New Orleans. Then Delaine became the first African-American to become head nurse in the operating room at Rowan Memorial Hospital, serving from 1949-55. She also worked as the supervisor in the operating room at Kate Bidding Memorial in WinstonSalem. Delaine was a college nurse at Livingstone College in Salisbury and head nurse in the clinic, operating room and psychiatry department
at the VA Medical Center here. She also served as the head nurse in the operating room at the VA hospital in Asheville. In addition to her work as a nurse, she served on the legislative committee for District 6 in Rowan County. A lifelong member of Chi Eta Phi National Nurses Sorority, she was also the cofounder Today, Delaine lives in the Hawkinstown community. She attributes her success to her mother, her mentor, her staff at Rowan Memorial Hospital in Salisbury and the VA hospital in Asheville and to Margaret C. Woodson of the Woodson Foundation, who encouraged her to follow her dreams. When asked what her greatest deed was as a nurse, Delaine said, “It was the care I was able to provide for my mother until she died.” There are hundreds of documented stories about these extraordinary women from the Nursing Cadet Program and Delaine will always stand out as one of the great nurses and female representatives of Rowan and Davie counties in North Carolina.
NURSE fROM 1A part of the Public Health Service Department. Women from 17 to 35 years of age who were high school graduates were eligible to enroll as cadet nurses. The candidates who qualified received subsidized educations and a monthly stipend for personal expenses while they learned and served. The program consisted of 30 months of study in which a cadet would progress from “pre-cadet” to “junior cadet.” During their final months of training they would become “senior cadets.” Upon completion of their training, the cadet nurses were expected to serve in government and civilian installations as needed. World War II stories that passed down from generations captured the accomplishments of WWII veterans.
Warren Knox Fleming is Delaine’s nephew and originally from Cooleemee. He now lives in Maryland and is president and CEO of Quality Solution Technologies Inc.

Finding landmarks, attractions, parking will be easier with new signs Consultant unveils designs at Salisbury City Council’s planning retreat BY EMILY FORD eford@salisburypost.com
Replacing a hodgepodge of 80 directional signs with about 39 larger wayfinding signs will better direct visitors to landmarks, attractions and most importantly, parking, officials say. Wayfinding signs help tourists and even local residents find their way to museums, theaters and shopping and dining districts. “They encourage the traveler to go deeper into your town, not just spend time on hamburger road but spend time in town,” said Buzz Bizelle, a consultant who unveiled preliminary designs to City Council during a planning retreat.
The sign project falls under the city’s new tourism organization, know as the Salisbury Cultural and Tourism Development Authority. Early estimates total about $129,000 for production and installation of the signs, which visitors will pay for through the city’s 3 percent occupancy tax on hotel rooms. The signs should appear this summer over the course of about four weeks. “People will instantly recognize the impact,” said City Planner Joe Morris, city staff liaison to the tourism development authority. Each sign will feature a photo, three or four destinations and the city’s “S” logo wrapped around a decorative pole similar to a lamppost.
Wayfinding signs encourage travelers to venture deeper into town and spend time there.
City and tourism officials have decided which destinations to list based in large part on what N.C. Department of Transportation guidelines will allow, Morris said. Commercial applications are prohibited, so a single
restaurant will not appear on a sign. However, the signs can direct people to cultural destinations like Salisbury’s entertainment district, which includes restaurants, he said. The Meroney Theatre, Rail-
walk arts district, Salisbury Depot and other facilities such as the Rowan Public Library and City Hall will appear on signs. But most importantly, Morris said, the signs will direct people to parking for these attractions and landmarks. Salisbury will avoid a com-

omen lost themselves Saturday at Christ United Methodist Church.
They left their cars with a valet outside the church’s new Family Life Center and entered a world of manicure, massage, music, mood and menu. Donna Willis, Ruth Sides and Mary Jane Pinkston — team captains for the annual event to raise money toward Relay for Life — said women deserve the pampering. “It’s a full-service day,” Sides said. Women often work, then come home to take care of a household and children. When cancer strikes a family member, they also become a chief caregiver. They should receive at least three hours out of the year to be waited on, literally hand and foot, the captains said. “You can’t get this kind of food and this kind of treatment anywhere,” Pinkston added. Over their three-hour stay, women participants who paid $35 per ticket, received a manicure, chair massage, foot spa, paraffin wax treatment on their hands and feet and homemade food to die for. “We have (banana) punch that will make you change your mind,” said Kim Miller, who headed up the kitchen effort. Indeed, the punch was mind-bending. Aspects of the whole experience were not unlike going back to the late 1960s, with the subdued lighting, soft music, burning can-

Grass and brush fires continued to keep fire departments busy Saturday across Rowan County. The fires were fueled by dry and windy conditions on a day when temperatures again reached toward the 70s. Jason Walker, assistant county ranger for the N.C. Forest Service, said the mix of low humidity, high winds and no significant rainfall in at least two weeks has created perfect conditions for the kinds of quickly spreading fires county departments dealt with Saturday. “It’s very, very dry,” Walker said, noting that the county ranger remained in Surry County Saturday helping to fight a 750-acre forest fire. The National Weather Service had a “red flag warning” in effect for Rowan and much of the Piedmont until 9 p.m. Saturday, with winds gusting up to 25 mph here. Conditions were favorable, the National Weather Service said, for the rapid spread of wildfires. No rain is in the Rowan County forecast until a chance of showers early Tuesday morning, but less than a tenth of an inch is expected then, and the chance of any rain is only about 30 percent. Highs of 60 on Sunday and 72 on Monday are forecast for this region. Just after 1 p.m. Saturday, Rockwell Rural Fire Department responded to a grass fire off Rowland Lane that was spreading toward mobile homes in Walker’s Mobile Home Park off U.S. 52. Rockwell Rural Chief Allen Cress said fire eventually covered about 4 acres. He nodded toward the burnt turf next to Janis Drive showing that fire got to within about 20 feet of one trailer. “It was stopped real quick,” Cress said, crediting the work of his department and firefighters from Rockwell City, Granite Quarry, Faith and Union stations. “It’s just scorched earth so far,” Cress said. His men stayed on the scene until 2:18 p.m. Rockwell Rural already had reported to another brush fire in the morning off Kluttz Road.

The Cabarrus County Board of Commissioners will consider tax breaks Monday for a company that could build an $11.8 million distribution center and create 66 jobs in Kannapolis. Atlanta-based S.P. Richards Co. would be the first occupant in the industrial and office portion of the Afton Ridge development at the southern end of Kannapolis. The Kannapolis City Council approved incentives for the company on Feb. 14.

State asked to probe shooting death of firefighter SWANSBORO (AP) — North Carolina state police are investigating the role of an off-duty police officer in the shooting death of a Havelock Fire and Rescue firefighter. Swansboro Police Chief Ed Parrish told The Daily News of Jacksonville that 27-yearold Austin James Zundel died Thursday after being shot four times. Media outlets said he was a native of Marion, Iowa. Onslow County prosecutor Ernie Lee said he asked the State Bureau of Investigation to look into the role of 44-yearold Adam Stock in the shooting. Stock is a reserve deputy and a civilian police officer at Camp Lejeune. No one has been charged in the shooting. SBI spokeswoman Noelle Tally said the results of the agency’s investigation would be turned over to prosecutors. Sheriff Ed Brown said he would not comment until the investigation is complete.
NC federal prison worker pleads in heroin scheme BUTNER (AP) — An employee of the federal prison in Butner has pleaded guilty to a drug charge after authorities accused him of asking an inmate to help him get heroin. Nathan Prady is to be sentenced in May, according to The Daily Dispatch of Henderson. The 32-year-old Creedmoor resident faces up to four decades behind bars after pleading guilty Thursday to drug trafficking. U.S. Attorney George Holding said Prady was caught in a sting that is part of a wider probe at the prison. He said authorities believe Prady intended to smuggle the heroin into the prison.

ALCOA FROM 1a ty certification, that gives FERC a reason to recapture the license.
Public benefit Stanly County Commissioner Tony Dennis, chair of the Uwharrie Commission, said the water belongs to the people, and the people should benefit from it. “They’re not giving any jobs,” Dennis said. “Our people are getting nothing out of this — absolutely zero, and it’s our natural resource.” Alcoa has framed the debate in terms of property rights, saying it owns the dams and the surrounding land, so as long as it abides by the terms of its license, it has the right to continue operating the project. Dennis and Lucas say Alcoa’s license has not only expired, but it broke promises it made to receive it, including maintaining 900 jobs at the Badin Plant. According to Alcoa, that specific obligation doesn’t exist in the license. They are required under law to provide a “public benefit,” JON C.

Of 50 billion Milky Way planets, 54 could possibly support life WASHINGTON (AP) — Scientists have estimated the first cosmic census of planets in our galaxy and the numbers are astronomical: at least 50 billion planets in the Milky Way. At least 500 million of those planets are in the not-too-hot, not-too-cold zone where life could exist. The numbers were extrapolated from the early results of NASA’s planet-hunting Kepler telescope. Kepler science chief William Borucki says scientists took the number of planets they found in the first year of searching a small part of the night sky and then made an estimate on how likely stars are to have planets. Kepler spots planets as they pass
between Earth and the star it orbits. So far Kepler has found 1,235 candidate planets, with 54 in the Goldilocks zone, where life could possibly exist. Kepler’s main mission is not to examine individual worlds, but give astronomers a sense of how many planets, especially potentially habitable ones, there are likely to be in our galaxy. They would use the one-four-hundredth of the night sky that Kepler is looking at and extrapolate from there. Borucki and colleagues figured one of two stars has planets and one of 200 stars has planets in the habitable zone, announcing these ratios Saturday at the American Asso-
ciation for the Advancement of Science annual conference in Washington. And that’s a minimum because these stars can have more than one planet and Kepler has yet to get a long enough glimpse to see planets that are further out from the star, like Earth, Borucki said. For example, if Kepler were 1,000 light years from Earth and looking at our sun and noticed Venus passing by, there’s only a one-in-eight chance that Earth would also be seen, astronomers said. To get the estimate for the total number of planets, scientists then took the frequency observed already and applied it to the number of stars in the Milky Way.
For many years scientists figured there were 100 billion stars in the Milky Way, but last year a Yale scientist figured the number was closer to 300 billion stars. Either way it shows that Carl Sagan was right when he talked of billions and billions of worlds, said retired NASA astronomer Steve Maran, who praised the research but wasn’t part of it. And that’s just our galaxy. Scientists figure there are 100 billion galaxies. Borucki said the new calculations lead to worlds of questions about life elsewhere in the cosmos. “The next question is why haven’t they visited us?” And the answer? “I don’t know,” Borucki said.

Somali pirates hijack 4 Americans in yacht MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) — An American couple who has sailed the world with a yacht full of Bibles was hijacked by Somali pirates, and the U.S. said Saturday it is assessing possible options. Pirates say the yacht will make landfall in Somalia today, which would reduce the chances of a fast rescue dramatically. A British sailing couple hijacked by pirates was held hostage in a stiflingly hot Somali region for more than a year. Pirates hijacked the yacht Quest on Friday, two days after a Somali pirate was sentenced to 33 years in prison by
a New York court for the 2009 hijacking of the Maersk Alabama. That case ended in a spectacular rescue when Navy sharpshooters killed two pirates holding the ship’s captain, Richard Phillips. The Quest is the home of Jean and Scott Adam, a couple from California who has been sailing around the world since December 2004, according to a website the Adams keep. Two other Americans were also believed to be on board. The pirates are unlikely to hurt the four Americans because they won’t win any ransom money if they do, said Graeme Gibbon-Brooks, the head of Dryad Maritime Intelligence. He argued that the pirates would be wise to abandon the yacht because the hijacking threatens their business model, which relies on ransoms from large shipping and insurance companies.

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — Randy Loughner was always reclusive. But since his son’s alleged shooting rampage last month, the father has shut himself behind what one neighbor calls “an elaborate cage.” In recent weeks, Loughner has built a substantial wooden enclosure, more than 6 feet high, obscuring his front door and windows. The four horizontal windows on the garage door have been papered over, the diamond-shaped openings atop the block wall to his back yard closed off with little plywood plugs. “He was already secluded, so he was already set up for it, and used to it,” says Stephen Winds topple National Woods, who lives in the house the left of Amy and Randy Christmas Tree in DC to Loughners’. “So I imagine it’s WASHINGTON (AP) — not bothering him much.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A state Capitol thrown into political chaos swelled for a fifth day with nearly 70,000 protesters, as supporters of Republican efforts to scrap the union rights of state workers challenged pro-labor protesters face-to-face for the first time and GOP leaders insisted again Saturday there was no room for compromise. A few dozen police officers stood between supporters of Republican Gov. Scott Walker on the muddy east lawn of the Capitol and the much larger group of pro-labor demonstrators who surrounded them. The protest was peaceful as both sides exchanged chants of “Pass the bill! Pass the bill!” and “Kill the bill! Kill the bill!”
“Go home!” union supporters yelled at Scott Lemke, a 46-year-old machine parts salesman from Cedarburg who wore a hard hat and carried a sign that read “If you don’t like it, quit” on one side, and “If you don’t like that, try you’re fired” on the other. The Wisconsin governor, elected in November’s GOP wave that also gave control of the state Assembly and Senate to Republicans, set off the protests earlier this week by pushing ahead with a measure that would require government workers to contribute more to their health care and pension costs and largely eliminate their collective bargaining rights. He says the concessions are needed to deal with the state’s projected $3.6 billion budget shortfall and to avoid layoffs of government workers.

The National Christmas Tree is a Colorado blue spruce that was planted on the Ellipse, near the White House, in 1978. It was 15 years old and 30 feet tall when it was planted. Now it’s 47 years old and stood about 42 feet. National Park Service spokesman Bill Line told The Washington Post that a successor has already been picked and it will be planted in coming weeks. He said previous National Christmas Trees have also been felled by winds, in part because they are not as sheltered from the elements as they would be in a forest.

CAIRO (AP) — Security forces in Libya and Yemen fired on pro-democracy demonstrators Saturday as the two hard-line regimes struck back against the wave of protests that has already toppled autocrats in Egypt and Tunisia. At least 15 died when police shot into crowds of mourners in Libya’s secondlargest city, a hospital official said. Even as Bahrain’s king bowed to international pressure and withdrew tanks to allow demonstrators to retake a symbolic square in the capital, Libya’s Moammar Gadhafi and Yemen’s Ali Abdullah Saleh made clear they plan to stamp out opposition and not be dragged down by the reform movements that have grown in nations from Algeria to Djibouti to Jordan. Libyans returned to the street for a fifth straight day of protests against Gadhafi, the most serious uprising in his 42-year reign, despite estimates by human rights groups of 84 deaths in the North African country — with 35 on Friday alone. Saturday’s deaths, which would push the overall toll to 99, occurred when snipers fired on thousands of mourners in Benghazi, a focal point of unrest, as they attended the funerals of other protesters, a hospital official said.
The North Carolina Department of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (NCDJJDP) anticipates the allocation of Juvenile Crime Prevention Council funds to Rowan County for programs serving delinquent, undisciplined and at-risk youth in the amount of $322,700. These funds require a local match of 30% and will be available for the state fiscal year 2011-2012, beginning on, or after July 1, 2011. Online Program Applications may be obtained online on the NCDJJDP website at http://www.ncdjjdp.org/jcpc/forms_agreements.html Mail or deliver three (3) original application, plus two (2) copies to the Rowan County Manager’s Office at 130 West Innes Street, Salisbury, NC 28144.

FROM 3A tell people where to stop, not where to go.” The project’s first phase will put about 39 signs in the downtown area and along Innes Street and Jake Alexander Boulevard to orient traffic coming off Interstate 85. A later phase will put signs along Statesville Boulevard for motorists coming from the Interstate 40 corridor via N.C. 70. The signs should help people navigate to a destination they’d planned to visit, but they also create a diversion for motorists who are just passing through, Bizelle said. The signs will encourage people to stop and explore, he said. The signs will feature a “timeless” design, and materials and construction will meet architectural standards to last 30 years, Bizelle said. Asheville last year unveiled $1 million worth of wayfinding signs constructed to a lesser standard, which are now peeling. “It’s an embarrassing disaster for the city,” said Bizelle, who was quick to point out he did not design the Asheville signs.

signs began eight years ago but was put on hold for lack of funding, Morris said. Initial work completed during the city’s branding and wayfinding study about five years ago has been picked up and continued by the Destination Development Committee of the city’s tourism authority. The project still needs several official approvals, including a nod from N.C. DOT and a Certificate of Appropriateness from the city’s Historic Preservation Commission. The city also would have to amend the Land Development Ordinance to allow and define wayfinding signs, with restrictions on size and height. Eventually, similar signs could appear in the county in areas like N.C. 150, where they would identify an “agricultural tourism zone” and promote attractions like the Lazy 5 Ranch, Patterson Farms and Cauble Creek Vineyard, Morris said. The signs will help not only visitors and newcomers but long-time residents, he said. “There are local landmarks that people who live here may discover, certain destinations within downtown they may not know about,” Morris said.

The city of Asheville has hired Bizelle to help fix the problem. Seven signs will identify parking areas, 16 large signs will be installed along roadways and 16 smaller pedestrian-sized signs will stand in the downtown area. These signs will include a shopping directory and map with suggested walking tours. While the signs will have an anti-graffiti coating, funding for ongoing maintenance will come from the hotel occupancy tax, Morris said. The photographic image on each sign will be applied to aluminum using a machine manufactured in Switzerland. Wayfinding signs are considered “one of the best uses of tourism dollars,” said James Meacham, executive director for the Rowan County Tourism Development Authority. “Our hoteliers are very supportive.” City Council praised the project, part of a collaborative effort between Salisbury and Rowan County to attract more tourists. Council member Brian Miller said he’s pleased with the partnership. “People had doubts that we could pull it off,” Miller said. “I’m thrilled about the way this is working.” Discussion of wayfinding

Saturday’s event drew 84 people — 43 in the morning and 41 in the afternoon — and nine massage therapists. When the doors opened Saturday morning, 41 people were there to help, including men to handle the valet parking. Helen Morgan, a cancer survivor who teaches cosmetology at Rowan-Cabarrus Community College, brought 24 volunteer students from the cosmetology and manicure classes at the school. Godley’s Garden Center allowed the church to borrow plants to create its memory garden in the middle of the new gymnasium. Sponsors provided door prizes for both the morning and afternoon sessions.

BREAKS FROM 3A tal. The county would net about $33,000 over the three-year period. Under the agreement approved by Kannapolis officials, the company would get back another $126,735 from tax payments to the city. S.P. Richards is one of the country’s leading business products wholesalers, distributing office furniture, computer supplies, janitorial products and more from 44 current distribution centers. The company is considering
a new 200,000-square-foot distribution center where 13 employees would be managers, supervisors and sales employees earning an average of $87,000 a year and 53 would earn an average of $18.75 an hour as drivers, clerical and warehouse workers. John Cox, president and CEO of Cabarrus Economic Development, said last week that landing S.P. Richards would “provide good jobs to local residents, but it would also build upon our area’s growing distribution and logistics industry cluster,” If S.P. Richards selects Kannapolis, the distribution center would be the first facility built in Glen Afton, the industrial and
office portion of the Afton Ridge development off Interstate 85 at exit 54. Legg said the company came to Kannapolis through the Cabarrus Economic Development Corp. and has been working with Afton Ridge developer Childress Klein Properties. The retail portion of Afton Ridge already is home to a number of stores including Best Buy, Super Target, Dick’s Sporting Goods and Marshall’s. S.P. Richards could kick-start development of the industrial and office side, where Legg said there would still be 125-150 acres available, enough land for six or seven buildings the size of the proposed distribution center.

Tisha Goodwin, one of the county co-chairs for Relay for Life, took advantage of the pampering Saturday. “I told them next year I’m wearing my bathrobe,” she said from the foot spa. Relaxing close by, Cindy Swaim was a first-timer Saturday. “They could hold this twice a year, and I’d be back,” she said. Cindy Graham’s son, Derek, required a stem cell transplant for his form of leukemia 19 months ago. He’s back at work and planning to be married in May. “So far, everything is looking good,” Cindy said as she soaked her feet with future daughter-in-law Crystal Pittman.

On Saturday, Sept. 10, Cocoa High School from Cocoa Beach, Fla., is bringing some gaudy stats to West Rowan. John Wilkinson’s Tigers have won 40 straight games and also have three-peated as state champs. “Win or lose, it’s going to be a neat thing for the kids,” West coach Scott Young said. “How many times do kids from Rowan County in North Carolina get an opportunity to play in a game like this.” A group called the Gridiron Challenge puts together high-profile matchups for teams across the country. Butler was first contacted but when it couldn’t work things out, West
Rowan was next in line. West was scheduled to play North Rowan in the fourth week of the season. Now, North Rowan will play a smaller team from Florida in an 11 a.m. opener. West will play YOUNG around 4 p.m. “When they contacted us, our schedule was full,” Young said. “We had just added Reidsville and played North Rowan on the week Cocoa could play.”

BY JENNA FRYER
Associated Press
Associated Press
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Tony Stewart has mastered how to win at Daytona International Speedway on Saturdays. Now, if he could only figure out how to win on Sundays. Stewart continued his domination of the Nationwide Series season opener, overcoming a late pit stop to fix a flat STEWART tire to catch C l i n t Bowyer at the finish line. It was his fourth consecutive win in the opener for NASCAR’s second-tier series and sixth in the past seven seasons. He’s been unable to carry that success into the main event, the Daytona 500, a race he’s yet to win in 12 previous starts. “The first thing I thought about is ‘Man, here we go with another Saturday that we win, and we’ll have bad luck (Sunday),’” Stewart said. Stewart had bad luck on Saturday — a flat tire that forced him to give up second place for a late pit stop under caution. It dropped him to 11th on the restart, with six laps to go, and he hooked up with Landon Cassill to charge his way through the field. Bowyer, the pole-sitter, led the field with Dale Earnhardt Jr. pushing him around the track. Bowyer and Earn-

Uncertainty dominates today’s race BY JENNA FRYER Associated Press
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — The fans will stand in silence, three fingers raised toward the sky, on the third lap of the Daytona 500 in honor of the late Dale Earnhardt. The tribute to mark the 10-year anniversary of Earnhardt’s fatal accident is the only certainty going into today’s season-opening race. Everything from the style of racing, the dominant drivers and what it will take to win NASCAR’s biggest race of the season remained a mystery after one of the more eventful Speedweeks in recent history. Then again, the drivers have accepted that nothing ever goes as planned
leading into the Great American Race. “Speedweeks always seems to have a scenario that pops up and you have to adjust to it,” said 2007 Daytona 500 winner Kevin Harvick. The latest dilemma is a radically new style of tandem racing that has dominated the three events leading into the 500. Drivers figured out that hooking up in two-car packs is the fastest way around the freshly paved Daytona International Speedway, and boy were they right: Michael Waltrip topped out at 206 mph in the first race of Speedweeks, sending NASCAR scrambling to slow down the cars. A smaller restrictor plate issued midweek brought the speeds back under control, but NASCAR has yet to break apart the two-car packs that are
apparently the new norm. A series of technical changes have limited how long the cars can stay hooked in pairs before their engines begin to overheat, but the drivers have mastered a leapfrogging system that allows them to simply swap positions and resume the two-car push. Establishing partners and figuring out whom to trust became the most important goal of every on-track session. Kurt Busch seemed to master the new style fastest, parlaying it into victories in both the exhibition Budweiser Shootout and the first qualifying race, while others learned valuable lessons. “There weren’t any single people left; they were all married,” Greg Bif-

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — The feel-good story of Daytona Speedweeks took another turn Saturday when Brian Keselowski picked up a sponsor for the Daytona 500. The journeyman driver received funding from Discount Tire and was applying the logos to his car before practice. “It’s awesome,” Keselowski said. “I’ve had a lot of calls and a lot of people I’d really like to work with, but when they called up last night and said Discount Tires was interested, I said, ‘We need to make this happen.’ It’s awesome. They’ve made it happen.” Keselowski has become the biggest surprise of Speedweeks after receiving help from his brother to earn his first Sprint Cup start in NASCAR’s biggest race. Budding NASCAR star Brad Keselowski pushed his older brother around Daytona International Speedway in a qualifying race earlier this week to help Brian get into today’s season-opener. Discount Tire also sponsors Brad Keselowski in the Nationwide Series. Brian Keselowski came to Daytona with two crew members, his father and his uncle, and was a long shot to make the race. Now he’ll pick up a paycheck of at least $250,000. As of Saturday morning, he still was scrambling to hire a few more crew members to do pit stops. Penske Racing was willing to give him a new engine this week, but the car Keselowski is racing — an Evernhambuilt car from 2006 — is so old that the engine wasn’t compatible.
Not much offense in UNC’s OT win BY JOEDY MCCREARY Associated Press
CHAPEL HILL — North Carolina hadn’t struggled to score UNC 48 like this in quite a BC 46 while. Boston College had an even tougher time on a final shot that would have delivered a memorable upset. The 19th-ranked Tar Heels overcame their lowest-scoring game under Roy Williams and held off a late rally to beat the Eagles 48-46 on Saturday. Tyler Zeller scored 16 points, and freshmen Kendall Marshall and Harrison Barnes had 10 points each for North Carolina (20-6, 10-2 ACC), which held
Boston College to season lows of 26.9 percent shooting and 46 total points and won its third straight to reach the 20-win mark for the seventh straight season under Williams. “Not a lot to say. We won. That’s the bottom line,” Williams said. Joe Trapani and Reggie Jackson scored 13 points apiece for the Eagles (16-10, 6-6), who trailed by 15 but got back in the game by forcing turnovers on four straight possessions and pulled within two points on Jackson’s 3-pointer with 1:10 left. After Marshall missed on a drive with about 35 seconds left, Dallas Elmore rebounded and BC called timeout with 17.6 seconds remaining to set up its final play.
Jackson had the ball and looked to work it into the post, but nobody could shake free. So at about the 5-second mark, Jackson pulled up for a 3-pointer at the key over 6-foot-10 John Henson — the ACC’s leading shot-blocker, who had switched on a screen — and it rimmed out. “They did a good job of playing defense down low,” Jackson said. “We wanted to post up but no one was open. I had the shot and I thought it was going down 100 percent, but it didn’t.” Henson said Jackson’s fingertips grazed his palm on the follow-through. “Thank God for that, because it was AssociAted Press

Pierce returns home Associated Press The NBA Notebook... LOS ANGELES — Paul Pierce is glad to be back home for the All-Star game, even though the Boston Celtics star is hearing some boos. “To come back here for a second time and play in an All-Star game really means a lot — just to save money on plane tickets and hotels for my mom and my aunts,” he said, laughing. Pierce is from nearby Inglewood, where he used to sneak into the Forum growing up to see the Lakers play. The boos Pierce has heard are reminiscent of Kobe Bryant getting booed when the All-Star game was played in Philadelphia, where he was a high school star. “When you play for L.A.’s biggest rival, it’s tough getting booed by the fans. But I’m sure if Kobe Bryant was from Boston, he’d get booed, too, if he went back there,” Pierce said. “It’s something you get thrown into once you become a Celtic or a Laker. It’s automatic, regardless of how you used to feel about the Lakers or Boston. Once you put on one of the uniforms from either side, you automatically inherit the rivalry.” • Deron Williams says his final argument with Jerry Sloan “wasn’t a big deal” and that the two had had worse clashes before. Sloan abruptly resigned Feb. 10 after 23 seasons as Utah Jazz coach, a day after he and Williams argued during halftime of a win against Chicago. “What it was, we have a
play called 22 that starts on the left side of the floor,” Williams said. “I just told everybody let’s try it on the right side of the floor. That’s it. He got a little upset with me.” The Jazz is 0-3 under new coach Ty Corbin. Since Sloan’s departure, Williams has been accused of repeatedly disregarding Sloan’s playcalling, a charge he denies. “No, no. If coach Sloan has a play, I’m going to run it,” he said. “I did what coach Sloan said. Sometimes we disagreed on things and we’d have an argument, but I never broke plays or he called something and I said ‘No, I’m not running that.’ Never.” Williams said he was caught off-guard by Sloan’s departure. “I figured he’d retire sometime, he’s 69, but not in the middle of the season,” he said. • LeBron James and JayZ held court together Saturday at the Los Angeles Boys & Girls club. The Miami Heat superstar and rapper/entrepreneur/minority owner of the New Jersey Nets visited with kids and attended the groundbreaking ceremonies for the completely renovated gymnasium as part of the Sprite Spark Parks project. Sprite is investing $2 million this year in renovating more than 150 parks, athletic fields and playgrounds across the nation. From now until April 8, people can log onto www.Facebook.com/Sprite to nominate a court in their neighborhood that needs to be renovated.

St. John’s beats Pitt Associated Press
The Top 25 roundup ... NEW YORK — Dwight Hardy's underhanded flip with 1.2 seconds to play gave St. John's its fifth win over a highly ranked team this season. Hardy, who finished with 19 points, started near midcourt, drove to the right, then went baseline for the shot. It gave the Red Storm (17-9, 9-5 Big East) another marquee win to go with those against then-No. 13 Georgetown, No. 9 Notre Dame, No. 3 Duke and No. 10 Connecticut. Ashton Gibbs, who missed the last three games with an MCL injury, came back to score 26 for the Panthers (24-3, 12-2), who had won five straight overall. No. 1 Kansas 89, Colorado 63 LAWRENCE, Kan. — Markieff Morris had 26 points and 15 rebounds and No. 1 Kansas bounced back from a lopsided loss to Kansas State with an 89-63 victory over Colorado. Brady Morningstar hit his first four 3-pointers to help the Jayhawks (25-2, 10-2 Big 12) get off to a flying start after their brand-new No. 1 ranking was tarnished Monday night by a shocking 84-68 loss at the home of the unranked Wildcats. It was the 28th straight defeat for the Buffaloes (16-11, 57) in Lawrence. No. 6 San Diego State 70, Air Force 58 AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. — Malcolm Thomas had 20 points and 13 rebounds to help San Diego State set a school record with their 27th win. Leonard had 18 points and 15 rebounds as the Aztecs (27-1, 12-1 Mountain West) beat the Falcons (13-12, 4-8) for the seventh straight time. Michael Lyons scored 18 points for Air Force (13-12, 4-8), which fell to 0-30 against top-10 opponents and 1-71 all-time against ranked teams. No. 7 BYU 79, TCU 56 FORT WORTH, Texas — Jimmer Fredette scored 23 points despite a tough shooting game, and the Cougars had four other players score in double figures in the rout. BYU (25-2, 11-1 Mountain West) took control with an 18-4 run to end the first half. West Virginia 72, No. 8 Notre Dame 58 MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Truck Bryant broke out of a slump by scoring 24 points and West Virginia took command early in the second half to snap the Irish's seven-game winning streak. Joe Mazzulla added 16 points, and Kevin Jones had 14 points and 10 rebounds for the Mountaineers (17-9, 8-6 Big East). Ben Hansbrough led Notre Dame (21-5, 10-4) with 19 points. No. 9 Georgetown 61, South Florida 55 TAMPA, Fla. — Chris Wright made six free throws in the final 29.7 seconds to finish with a season-high 26 points to lift the Hoyas to their ninth victory in 10 games. Georgetown (21-6, 10-5 Big East) rebounded from an eight-point loss to Connecticut, pulling away during an 18-8 surge and hanging on despite getting a season-low four points on 2 of 10 shooting by Austin Freeman, the conference's third-leading scorer. No. 12 Arizona 87, Washington 86 TUCSON, Ariz. — Derrick Williams had 26 points, 13 rebounds and a game-saving block on Darnell Gant with less than a second left to lift the Wildcats. Lamont Jones had 15 points, and Kevin Parrom and Jesse Perry added 11 each as Arizona (23-4, 12-2 Pac-10) pulled out its 15th straight home win. Matt Bryan-Amaning led Washington (18-8, 10-5) with 20 points, eight rebounds, six blocked shots and four assists. No. 15 Villanova 77, DePaul 75, OT ROSEMONT, Ill. — Corey Fisher scored a career-high 34 points, nailing the tying 3-pointer near the end of regulation and boosting the Wildcats in overtime. Maalik Wayns added 17 points as Villanova (21-6, 9-5) escaped with a tough win over the Big East's last-place team. DePaul (7-19, 1-13) had lost 12 straight overall and 25 straight league games before beating Providence on Thursday. No. 17 Syracuse 84, Rutgers 80 SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Kris Joseph scored six of his 21 points in overtime, and the Orange held on by making seven free throws in the 63 seconds of the extra session. The game was tied at 70 after regulation, and Joseph gave the Orange (22-6, 9-6 Big East) a 75-71 lead when he swished a feed from Brandon Triche. Syracuse held on from there. Rutgers (13-13, 4-10) has lost five of six and fell to 1-22 in games played at Syracuse. The lone victory was Feb. 6, 1975 — the season before Jim Boeheim became head coach of the Orange. No. 18 Vanderbilt 77, Auburn 60 AUBURN, Ala. — John Jenkins scored 22 points and the Commodores used a 23-4 second-half run to ensure their sixth 20-win campaign during coach Kevin Stallings' 12 seasons. Vanderbilt (20-6, 8-4 SEC) won its fifth straight game. No. 20 Missouri 76, Iowa State 70 AMES, Iowa — Marcus Denmon scored 25 points as the Tigers (21-6, 7-5 Big 12) won their first Big 12 road game of the season and first game away from Columbia since December. No. 22 Kentucky 90, South Carolina 59 LEXINGTON, Ky. — Darius Miller scored a career-high 22 points, Terrence Jones added 19 points and 12 rebounds, and the Wildcats remained unbeaten at Rupp Arena under John Calipari. Kentucky (19-7, 7-5 SEC) scored the game's first 14 points and led by as much as 36 to push its home winning streak to 32, the second-longest in school history. No. 24 Xavier 79, Fordham 72 CINCINNATI — Tu Holloway had his second career tripledouble with 26 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists for Xavier. No. 25 Utah State 75, Saint Mary's 65 MORAGA, Calif. — Tai Wesley and Brockeith Pane scored 22 points apiece to help No. 25 Utah State bolster its position for an NCAA tournament bid by beating Saint Mary's 7565 Saturday night in a BracketBuster game. The Aggies (25-3) rallied from a 10-point deficit early in the second half by the strong inside play of Wesley and a tight defense that forced the Gaels (23-6) to miss 16 of their first 20 shots in the second half for their first home loss of the season.
LINCOLN, Neb. — Count T e x a s Nebraska 70 a m o n g Texas 67 those very impressed by Nebraska’s upset of the No. 3 Longhorns. Brandon Richardson hit a pair of free throws with 7.2 seconds left to seal the Cornhuskers’ 70-67 win on Saturday. Nebraska hadn’t beaten a team ranked in the top three since knocking off No. 3 Missouri 98-91 in the 1994 Big Eight Conference tournament. After Texas’ 3-point attempt fell short at the buzzer, Nebraska students stormed the court and hoisted players on their shoulders. “Man, what a great game,” Nebraska coach Doc Sadler said. “How can you not be excited? It’s a great day for us.” The Cornhuskers’ second win over a Top 25 opponent this season broke Texas’ school record Big 12 winning streak at 11 games. Nebraska downed then-No. 13 Texas

The ACC roundup ... WINSTON-SALEM — Florida State needed a half to find the energy and intensity to hand the Atlantic Coast Conference’s worst team another ugly loss. Bernard James scored 15 points while the Seminoles pulled away in the second half to beat Wake Forest 8466 on Saturday, keeping Florida State in sole possession of third place in the league standings. Freshman Ian Miller and Deividas Dulkys each added 14 for the Seminoles (19-7, 93), who trailed by two at halftime before dominating the rest of the way against the last-place Demon Deacons (8-19, 1-11). Florida State used a 13-2 run to push ahead by double figures, then increased the margin to 20 points by attacking the rim while Wake Forest seemed to grow steadily more passive. It was Florida State’s first game without Chris Singleton, a 6-foot-9 junior who was leading the team in both scoring (13.8) and rebounding (7.1) before suffering a broken right foot last weekend against Virginia. He had surgery on Monday and is out indefinitely. The Seminoles shot 53 percent in the second half and scored 53 points after the break. In addition, after the Demon Deacons protected the basketball and stayed even on the boards in the first half, the Seminoles controlled the boards while scoring 18 points off
If this helps them to the NCAA tournament, then it would be great for him. The fans were great, and they definitely deserved to win the game.” Richardson led Nebraska with 15 points, 10 in the second half. Toney McCray added 14. Nebraska (18-8, 6-6 Big 12),
which trailed by seven points at halftime, took a 64-53 lead on Lance Jeter’s driving layup with 2:35 left. But the Cornhuskers made just six of 11 free throws in the last two minutes to help Texas get back in it. “We made it much tougher than we could have,” Sadler said. “They made some plays. You’re not going to just go beat teams like that. “We just needed to make some free throws.” Texas (23-4, 11-1) went on a 12-1 run, making seven of nine free throws and adding a pair of baskets. Alexis Wangmere’s free throws tied it 6565 with 1:07 remaining. Richardson sank a pair of foul shots with 43.5 seconds remaining to put Nebraska back in front, and Drake Beranek made one of two with 24.7 seconds left. Texas’ J’Covan Brown made two of three free throws with 12.6 seconds remaining to cut the deficit to one, but his 3-point attempt at the buzzer fell short.

Sometimes you get lucky, you know, because we have been unlucky in the past.” This one ended up much closer than the last meeting — a 32-point North Carolina rout — mainly because, for much of the way, BC got the slowdown game it desired. Still, the Eagles were denied their first winning streak in a month by a Tar Heels defense that routinely worked them deep into the shot clock and held them to nine offensive rebounds while building a 4430 rebounding advantage. Henson finished with 12 rebounds, nine on the defensive end. The Eagles didn’t score until nearly 8 minutes into the game, missed 13 of their first 14 shots in the second half and came up shy of their previous scoring low of 51 points against Florida State. They were held to their fewest points in an ACC game since joining the conference in 2005, and their fewest in any game since a 70-43 loss to Georgetown in 2002. Jackson, the ACC’s third-leading scorer, was 5 of 19 from the field. Trapani was 3 of 11. “It was unbelievable how many shots went in and out,” Trapani said. “We had a lot of good looks, but the shots just didn’t go down.” With former player of the year Tyler

HIGH POINT — Andre Williamson hit a free throw with 5 seconds left to give Appalachian State an 82-81 victory over High Point on Saturday night.

It was the first time High Point and Appalachian State had met since Feb. 20, 1978.

“One of the hardest things to do in basketball is to play with a lead,” Marshall said. “At that time, it’s hard to judge what’s a good shot, what’s a bad shot, working the clock, things like that.” That was the only thing that qualified as a run for a North Carolina team that entered with the ACC’s second-most productive offense and was facing one of the league’s worst defenses. The Eagles allow an average of 71 points and teams shoot nearly 45 percent against them, but they held the Tar Heels to 36.8 percent and forced them into their lowest-scoring performance in both the history of the Dean Smith Center and in Williams’ tenure in Chapel Hill. The previous low under Williams came in an 8250 loss at Duke that ended the 2009-10 regular season. “All we needed were a couple more shots to fall,” Henson said, “and we would have blew the game open.” Points certainly were much tougher to come by than they were earlier this month, when North Carolina embarrassed the Eagles 106-74 in Boston. In the rematch, the Eagles were scoreless until Trapani hit a 3 more than 71/2 minutes in. The problem for North Carolina was it couldn’t do anything at the other end of the floor. The Tar Heels led 21-20 at the break, and both teams were held to first-half scoring lows. North Carolina’s matched its single-half low during the Williams era, a mark first established last season at Georgia Tech.

All-Star game today in Kobe’s house Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Kobe Bryant needed only a quick survey of the All-Star rosters for the names to jump out at him. “We’re playing the Celtics and the Heat,” he said. “And the Hawks.” Forget that last one. It’s those first two that should spice up tonight’s game on Bryant’s home floor, particularly the presence of a recordtying four players from that hated team in green. “I think there will some boos in the stands. I’m expecting that,” said San Antonio’s Gregg Popovich, who will coach the Western Conference. Boston’s Doc Rivers will lead an East team that includes Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Rajon Rondo. He also gets Miami’s Big Three, including LeBron James and Dwyane Wade in his starting lineup. “I can get used to that,” Rivers said. Chicago’s Derrick Rose, Orlando’s Dwight Howard and New York’s Amare Stoudemire are the other East starters, with Atlanta’s Joe Johnson and Al Horford rounding out the reserves. But most eyes will be on the Celtics and Heat, both of whom already won at Staples Center this season. Bryant denied gaining extra motivation from seeing
them again, insisting he gets up to play anybody. But Lakers fans might feel differently if Rivers goes ahead with his previously mentioned plan and puts the four Celtics on the floor together. “Four of them going out there, it might get your blood going,” said former Celtics All-Star and current Turner Sports analyst Kevin McHale. “I’m sure they’ll look out and think the Celtics are invading again.” The Lakers beat the Celtics in Game 7 of last year’s NBA finals at Staples Center. An exhibition game could never replace that, but Rivers and his players would love to walk off their longtime rivals’ court as winners ahead of the chance they really want in June. That will require the Celtics and Heat, developing their own rivalry, to play nice for a night. James said that’s no problem, recalling that his East winners in 2006 had four Detroit Pistons, the only other team to have four players picked by the coaches as reserves. “For that weekend, as hard as it is, we’ll kind of put the rivalries and the dislikes aside for the better of the fans and the better of the game,” James said. Rivers is glad to hear it — even if he doesn’t necessarily buy it. “I’ve always been amazed by it, even when you know

And then they’re in the All-Star game. I’ve always laughed when you see ‘em like laughing and joking. You know, boy, they’re so ... phony right now. That’s what you want to say. But that’s good. As long as we win the All-Star game, too, that’ll be fine.” Joining Bryant in the West lineup will be the Hornets’ Chris Paul, NBA scoring leader Kevin Durant of Oklahoma City, Denver’s Carmelo Anthony — yes, he’s still in the West, at least for now — and San Antonio’s Tim Duncan, whom Popovich chose
Thursday night to replace Yao Ming. The Houston center was voted in by fans despite being injured. Among the west forwards are Dallas’ Dirk Nowitzki, the Lakers’ Pau Gasol and the Clippers’ Blake Griffin, the first rookie picked for the AllStar game since Yao in 2003. Griffin headlined the field for the slam dunk contest and his high-flying style should fit perfectly in today’s game, where defense is usually absent for the first 31⁄2 quarters. Setting up the hometown player is an All-Star game tradition, so what do you think, rook? “I heard there’s another hometown guy,” Griffin said with a laugh.
3-point shootout: Heat beats Celtics Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Thanks to James Jones’ smooth shooting stroke, the Miami Heat finally beat the Boston Celtics at something this season. The Heat’s outside specialist held off Boston teammates Paul Pierce and Ray Allen to win his first 3-point shootout at All-Star Saturday, scoring 20 points in the final round Jones, an eight-year veteran who rarely shoots inside the 3-point line, made five straight shots late in the final round with his consistent, groundbound style. Just a supporting player on the star-laden Heat, Jones said he benefited from shooting first in the three-
man final, relieving any pressure. Although Pierce was the defending champion and Allen recently became the NBA’s career leader in 3-pointers, neither could match Jones’ score in front of booing Lakers fans. “Those guys were cheering for me, rooting for me,” said Jones, whose newlook Heat have lost three straight this season to the Celtics. “We know we’ve had our struggles against the Celtics in the past, but today the Heat came out on top, so I’m excited about that.” Earlier, Golden State’s Stephen Curry beat Oklahoma City’s Russell Westbrook to win the Skills Challenge, and a three-person team from Atlanta won the Shooting Stars competition in the first
event at the NBA All-Star weekend’s silly Saturday. Jones is the fourth Heat player to win the 3-point shootout title, joining Glen Rice (1995), Jason Kapono (2007) and Daequan Cook (2009). Pierce won the event last season in Dallas, and he appeared confident even in the face of boos from fans who can’t forgive the L.A. native’s Celtics green. Allen won the event in 2001, and he surpassed Reggie Miller’s career record with his 2,561st 3-pointer on Feb. 10 for the Celtics. Allen led after the first round with 20 points from his sublimely fluid jumper, but Jones was right behind him with 16 points.
LOS ANGELES — Blake Griffin leaped over a car and threw down a two-handed dunk to the accompaniment of a gospel choir, winning the slam dunk contest in iconic style before his hometown fans on All-Star Saturday. The Los Angeles Clippers’ rookie caught a pass out of the sunroof from teammate Baron Davis and easily cleared the 2011 Kia Optima’s hood while the Crenshaw Select Choir sang “I Believe I Can Fly” at midcourt. The inventive slam drove home the obvious point of the All-Star weekend: Griffin has both the athleticism and the showtime flair to be the NBA’s next big star. With an entire building solidly behind Griffin, finalist Javale McGee of Washington and Toronto’s DeMar DeRozan really didn’t stand a chance despite their own creative dunks at Staples Center. All-Star Saturday was a showcase for Griffin, who started the contest with an irresistibly 360-degree spin dunk before converting a bounce pass off the side of the backboard in the first round. The first rookie All-Star in eight years then brought back an impossibly difficult favorite with his first dunk of the final, sticking his arm into the hoop and hanging from it by his elbow, just as Vince Carter did while winning the 2000 contest. And when fans saw the car driving out of the arena tunnel, this contest already seemed to be over. Griffin is in the midst of the busiest All-Star weekend in the NBA’s recent history. He scored 14 points in the Rookie Challenge, and he stayed in the dunk contest even after getting chosen for the West squad in Sunday’s main event. All four dunkers distinguished themselves in Hollywood, but Griffin was the favorite at Staples Center, and he didn’t disappoint. After DeRozan opened the

DeRozan couldn’t make the final round despite an impressive second dunk in which he threw a pass to himself off the backboard for a windmill reverse jam.

clint Bowyer, right, signs an autograph for a fan while walking though the garages on saturday.
RACE FroM 1B fle said of becoming separated from teammate Carl Edwards in his qualifying race. “I was kind of left out on that island. The rose ceremony ended quickly for me.” The drivers seem to like the new racing, but fans aren’t sold, frustrated that the whiteknuckle pack racing they love will be absent from Sunday’s race. How big of a concern is it? Clint Bowyer said he fell asleep on his couch while watching the first of Thursday’s twin 150-mile qualifying races. The competitors insist Sunday will be unpredictable, in part because there has yet to be an event with all 43 cars on the track, and because there’s too much at stake with the Daytona 500 title on the line.
“I still don’t think we know exactly what’s going to happen,” Harvick said. “We know the two-car stuff is going to work, but we haven’t been out there with the whole pack, so there’s still some unknowns.” That includes what kind of day it will be for Dale Earnhardt Jr., who was scheduled to start from the pole and likely would have been leading the field during the Lap 3 tribute to his father. But NASCAR’s most popular driver wrecked his car during an earlier practice session and switching to a backup means he’ll go to the back of the field when the green flag falls. Starting his fourth season with Hendrick Motorsports, Earnhardt came to Daytona with his third crew chief in three years and hopes that a fresh voice in his ear can snap a 93-car winless streak. It would be fitting if it came at Daytona, where the grieving continues
10 years after the elder Earnhardt’s fatal accident on the last lap of the 2001 race. Earnhardt Jr. is respectful of the anniversary, but eager to get the attention on racing. “I’m here to race. I understand the situation, and I’m looking forward to seeing how my father’s remembered and honored,” he said. “I just want to focus on my job, what I need to do every single corner, every single lap, what’s best for me at this moment, what gets me closer to Victory Lane on Sunday. That’s all I’m going to concern myself with.” So he’s giving no thought to the conspiracy theorists who believe it’s already set up for him to win on Sunday in an anniversary fix. “I don’t really get into the hypothetical, fairy tale sort of stuff,” he sniffed. But there is one fairy tale that had already played out.
Brian Keselowski, the journeyman older brother of rising NASCAR star Brad Keselowski, used help from his little brother in his qualifying race to earn his first berth in the Daytona 500. It will be Brian Keselowski’s first career Sprint Cup race. With an underfunded car and a crew that consists of his father and his uncle, he’s not expected to take home the trophy on Sunday. Just being part of the show is enough. No matter how he finishes, Brian Keselowski will start Sunday with tons of new fans and perhaps an opportunity to make more of his fledgling career. “It still goes to show you that you’ve got a chance no matter what,” he said. “It gives everybody a shot at it and says that the independent guy that can go out and find a race car, put it together, get a good push, everybody’s got a chance at that.”
The NASCAR roundup ... DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Richard Childress Racing teammates Jeff Burton and Clint Bowyer have tied for the fastest time in the final practice for the Daytona 500. Both drivers were clocked at 200.316 mph while pushing each other early in Saturday’s last practice. Regan Smith, meanwhile, had the best consecutive 10-lap average at 195.285 mph. He was being pushed by Kurt Busch, and the two worked together earlier this week in the qualifying race Busch won. Few teams put in much work, and six drivers didn’t practice at all, including Jimmie Johnson, Jeff Gordon and Tony Stewart. • MORE CHANGES: NASCAR is making another change to cars for the Daytona 500, this one because temperatures are expected to reach 80 degrees during today’s race. Sprint Cup officials say teams can add an extra inch to grill openings, allowing more air to flow to engine-cooling radiators. The change was made to help drivers keep their engines cooler at speeds nearing 200 mph around Daytona Speedway. NASCAR made three changes earlier in the week, reducing the size of the horsepower-sapping restrictor plates, adding a pressure-relief valve to cooling systems and reducing the size of grill openings. The moves were made to slow downs cars after speeds topped 206 mph. • MORE DANICA: Danica Patrick's season just start-
ed, and the main thing everybody wants to know is what she'll do next year. Patrick said she doesn't know her plans for 2012 and beyond. She acknowledges her contracts in both NASCAR and IndyCar are up at the end of this season — and presumably, she'll have to choose whether she wants to pursue stock car racing on a full-time basis. Patrick says she isn't under any pressure and there's no need to rush into a decision. "I have a lot of time to figure it out and let things unfold," Patrick said. "I think it's just going to be a matter of letting it run its course this year and making the most of every time I'm in a stock car, as well as an IndyCar, and just seeing what opportunities arise. I think that it will become obvious in the end, but it's important to wait for that and not force anything." Patrick says she hasn't set a date for her decision, beyond obviously needing to know before the start of next season. But she might not have as much time as she thinks, because next year's NASCAR sponsorship and team contracts often are agreed to in the middle of the existing season. Patrick said some of the decision will be out of her hands and depend largely on what offers she receives. "It's opportunities, teams, sponsorship, my gut," Patrick said. "It's all those things. It just depends on a lot of things. it's not as easy as just saying, 'I'm going to do this or that.' It's also not a wise idea to say what I'm doing. I'm racing both (series) this year." She certainly could help her cause with improved performance.
Good day for Danica Associated Press
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.— For a few laps, at least, Danica Patrick’s day was going better than most people imagined: She was racing for the lead at Daytona International Speedway. Patrick briefly led Saturday’s NASCAR Nationwide race at Daytona, but she couldPATRICK n’t stay there. Still relatively inexperienced in stock car racing, Patrick struggled when it was her turn to be the pushing car in the twocar style of drafting that has dominated Daytona Speedweeks. Unable to consistently team up with a drafting partner, she faded in the middle of the race and finished 14th — the best finish of the IndyCar series regular’s brief Nationwide career. “I pushed a little bit at the end, a little too late,” Patrick said. “But it was really cool when Clint (Bowyer) was pushing me and they told me that I did lead a lap, at least. That was really cool. But that just showed me that that’s what you’ve got to do, and that’s what they were doing up front today.” Dale Earnhardt Jr., whose JR Motorsports team fields cars for Patrick, praised her run. And if Patrick wasn’t fully engaged in tandem drafting all day, Earnhardt said it wasn’t because she was reluctant to do so. “I think she was just doing whatever she felt was necessary to get to the end of the race and see if she had a shot at it,” Earnhardt said. “I think she did a good job.”

NATIONWIDE FroM 1B hardt took off in a two-car pack, with Stewart and Cassill hooked up, and Kyle Busch and Joey Logano paired. The three two-car packs put on a thrilling show up to the final lap, when the Busch-Logano tandem ended with Busch hitting the outside wall and spinning down the track. Bowyer had to brace for Earnhardt’s eventual attempt to pass, and he was busy blocking the move when Stewart and Cassill came blazing along the outside. Stewart nipped him by .007 seconds, the closest finish in Nationwide Series history at Daytona. “We just got a great run. We had a good pusher with Landon Cassill, able to get the two of us up there,” Stewart said. “We had a lot of confidence going into the last stretch.” And he’s got confidence for Sunday, too. “I’m probably the happiest guy going into the (500), now, coming off a win. It shows we can do it; it’s just a matter of if the cards play out,” Stewart said. “It’s a tough race and physically for the drivers, mentally for the drivers, it might be one of the toughest 500s I’ve ran. What we’re doing inside the cars is a lot harder than it’s ever been, pushing guys, being pushed.” Bowyer was second to give Kevin Harvick Inc. a sweep of the top two spots, and owner Harvick celebrated atop a pit box. Stewart admitted after the race that had he not given up second for
the flat tire, he probably would have stayed in line to ensure a KHI win. “I talked to Clint before the race. I had told him if we were running second and he was leading, we had a pack around us, that I was going to just keep pushing,” Stewart said. “That’s the hard part, making that decision when you have teammates, that you might have to make that decision not to try to win a race in an effort for the organization.” Bowyer probably wished it had played out that way after coming up just short for the second consecutive race. He lost to teammate Jeff Burton in a 150-mile qualifying race earlier in the week. “I looked in the mirror, I saw Junior, the only Chevrolet up there, I knew that he was going to work with me. He shoved me all the way to the last lap,” he said. “Coming off of four, what do you do? They had a good run. I tried to block (Stewart’s) momentum, about that time Junior ducked under me, I had to block him. All hell broke loose. “I’ve just got to get it all together for (today) and win the big one. If I could give these two up to win that one, make the third one a charm, it would be a helluva charm.” Earlier Saturday, Bowyer and Burton hooked up to post the fastest lap of the final Daytona 500 practice session, clocking a 200.316 mph lap. Cassill finished third and became the series points leader. He doesn’t have a ride lined up for next week, though. “I’m the points leader? I’m sorry, I don’t have a ride next week, so I’m going to bask in this for about seven days,” he said.

officials are trying to keep from repeating a ‘flash crash’ from happening when traders at the New York stock exchange or other markets sell too much in a stressed situation.
Officials say new market rules must anticipate issues to avoid plunges BY MARCY GORDON Associated Press
A special committee said federal regulators have made positive changes, but they also need to create new rules that anticipate market problems to avoid another disruption like the May 6, 2010, plunge that rocked investor confidence. The joint advisory committee of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission recommended, in a report Friday, that the SEC consider new incentives or rules that would restrain market strategies commonly used
by high-speed trading firms. The report says there are limitations to some restrictions the regulators put in place after the plunge, such as curbs that briefly halt trading of some stocks that make big price swings. Given the complexity of the market, rules “have to be more forward looking,” it says. The joint committee was established a few days after the May 6 disruption, which sent the Dow Jones industrial average careening nearly 1,000 points in less than a halfhour. A months-long investigation by the SEC and the CFTC determined that the so-
called “flash crash” occurred when a trading firm executed a computerized selling program in an already stressed market. The firm’s trade, worth $4.1 billion, led to a chain of events that ended with market players swiftly pulling their money from the stock market, the agencies’ review found. The “quick” actions of the SEC, the CFTC and the major stock markets following the plunge “addressed several glaring issues (and) were an excellent start to restoring confidence,” the new report says. It says, however, that the

Bo lives with his parents and siblings in Mooresville and has been diagnosed with epilepsy. This disease makes it difficult for Bo to perform many common, everyday tasks. Instead of Bo needing to ask someone for assistance, his new service dog will provide the help and independence he needs and deserves.

committee is concerned about the “limited applicability” of the trading halts put in place by the SEC. While they cover many of the problems raised by extreme price swings across the market, the socalled circuit breakers don’t “address the potential of extreme price movements” of smaller stocks that have less trading volume, it said. The report recommends that the regulators expand the rules on trading halts to cover all securities except for the most infrequently traded. It also urges the SEC to

College students who leave their residence halls for the brave new world of renting a house or apartment often run into misunderstandings with their landlords. But it’s not just college kids. Retired Catawba College professor Al Carter stressed the importance recently of renters’ reading their leases thoroughly and knowing their rights as tenants. Typical lease clauses include, Carter said, an “implied covenant of fitness for use,” meaning the landlord must keep the premises in good repair. In signing a lease, the renter stipulates that he has examined the premises and they are, at the time of his lease, safe, clean and in good repair. But Carter advised being proactive before signing a lease, taking pictures and making the landlord aware of potential problems that should be corrected as soon as possible. “It’s up to you to change it,” Carter said. He also warned that while many leases follow the same language, “there is no standard lease form — at least I’ve never seen one.” Most leases allow for the tenant to sublet the home or apartment to another party. This often happens to college students who must sign a one-year lease but only need the rental unit for nine months before they leave for home. When that happens, they look for someone to sublet the property for the remaining months. Carter said the original tenant must realize, even with subletting, that he is responsible for the rent. Getting back to previous class discussions about credit, Carter said some landlords will run a credit check on potential renters before leasing a unit. A bad credit score could disqualify the applicant or lead to the landlord’s charging him or her more per month, Carter warned. A short quiz about renting follows. True or false: 1. By N.C. law, the security deposit on rental property cannot be more than 50 percent of the monthly rent. 2. The term “quiet enjoyment” applies to a tenant’s right to use property without undue interference from others. 3. Improvements made by the tenant become property of the landlord unless otherwise agreed. 4. A lease cannot prohibit subletting if rent is more than $600 a month. 5. If the rental property is taken by eminent domain, the lease is terminated. 6. A lease can list the number of people who will occupy the premises. 7. Implied covenant of fitness only applies if the tenant has a yearlong lease. 8. If a lease is assigned to another party, the original tenant can be liable for the rent. 9. A landlord can require that assignment and subletting of the property have his approval. 10. After a year’s lease is through, a holdover by the renter will result in a month-to-month occupancy in most cases. Answers: 1) false; 2) true; 3) true; 4) false; 5) true; 6) true; 7. false; 8) true; 9) true; 10) true. Contact Mark Wineka at 704-797-4263.

Biting Big Tobacco: Florida the hot spot for lawsuits after ruling MIAMI (AP) — A Florida Supreme Court ruling that threw out a $145 billion award against cigarette makers is biting Big Tobacco back, making it dramatically easier for thousands of smokers to sue and turning the state into the nation’s hot spot for damage awards. The 2006 ruling has helped generate more than $360 million in damage awards in only about two dozen cases. Thousands of other cases are in the pipeline in Florida, which has far more smoking-related lawsuits pending than any other state. Though the justices tossed the $145 billion class-action damage award, they allowed about 8,000 individual members of that class to pursue their own lawsuits. And in a critical decision, they allowed those plaintiffs to use the original jury’s findings from the class-action case. That means the plaintiffs don’t have to prove that cigarette makers sold a defective and dangerous product, were negligent, hid the risks of smoking and that cigarettes cause illnesses such as lung cancer and heart disease. The plaintiffs must mainly show they were addicted to smoking and could not quit, and that their illness — or a smoker’s death — was caused by cigarettes. Jurors have sided with smokers or their families in about two-thirds of the 34 cas-
es tried since February 2009, when the first Florida lawsuit following the rules set by the Supreme Court decision went before a jury. Awards have ranged from $2 million or less to $80 million, though tobacco companies are appealing them all. The successes by smokers or their survivors in Florida compares with just six wins between 1996 to 2006 in Florida. Before 1996, individual smokers won only a handful of cases nationwide. Tobacco company lawyers insist the process is rigged. “We believe the trial courts have used trial plans that are so fundamentally unfair they violate due process and Florida law,” said Murray Garnick of Altria Client Services, which represents Altria Group Inc. subsidiary Philip Morris USA. “Each case must be judged on its own facts.” The tobacco companies, however, have lost their first appeal over how Florida courts are handling the cases. The state’s 1st District Court of Appeal ruled against R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. in December, upholding a $28.3 million verdict for a dead smoker’s wife and endorsing the way trial judges have interpreted the state Supreme Court’s decision. Steven J. Hammer, an attorney whose Fort Lauderdale firm is handling hundreds of smoker lawsuits, said the Florida cases have changed

Lawmakers in Rhode Island eye high-speed rail money that Florida turned down PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Rhode Island’s senators are making a pitch that the state deserves some of the nearly $2.5 billion in federal high-speed rail money that Florida passed up this week. In a letter to U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, Sens. Jack Reed and Sheldon Whitehouse wrote that Rhode Island would use the money to “improve high-speed rail service as well as increase commuter rail opportunities in the state.” On Wednesday, Florida Gov. Rick Scott, a former businessman with tea party backing, turned down the money, which would cover about 90 percent of the projected cost of building a highspeed rail line between Orlando and Tampa. The money is part of President Barack Obama’s Recovery Act. Scott said he doubted the train line would pay for itself once completed.
Members of Florida’s congressional delegation, including Sen. Bill Nelson, and state lawmakers are trying to develop a plan to bypass Scott’s rejection. LaHood has told them they have until Thursday to settle on a plan or the money may be transferred to other states. Reed and Whitehouse specified in their letter that Rhode Island would use the money to improve rail access to the state’s T.F. Green Airport, to bolster the state’s commuter service and to upgrade the Amtrak station in Providence. “Florida’s loss should be Rhode Island’s gain,” said Reed, who is a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee. “We can quickly put this money to work creating jobs, improving our infrastructure and expanding highspeed rail service to more Rhode Islanders.”

High-frequency trading is estimated to account for more than 50 percent of all U.S. stock trading. The firms often employ a practice called “quote stuffing,” in which huge numbers of artificial orders to buy or sell are placed and then canceled almost immediately. Regulators say the practice may create the illusion of greater trading volume, potentially allowing sellers to profit from the perception of rising demand. Members of the joint committee include Richard Ketchum, the chief executive of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, the securities industry’s self-policing organization; and Brooksley Born, a former chairman of the CFTC.
FROM 1C consider new rules or incentives to encourage so-called “high-frequency” trading firms to regularly provide buy and sell quotes that are “reasonably” close to prevailing market prices. The incentives could include allowing firms that comply to locate their computers in locations they seek, the report suggested. High-frequency firms use computers and mathematical formulas to exploit split-penny price differences.

DOG FROM 1C “Bo presently has to sleep in our room because his seizures occur during his sleep,” explained mother Karen Vaughan. “We look forward to Bo having the opportunity to sleep in his own room and gain that level of independence.” Bo joined the Canine Assistants program at a special donation ceremony at the Food Lion at 1339 Shearer’s Road in Mooresville on Friday. Paul Vliek, a certified trainer from Canine Assistants, made the introduction and explained the benefits these highly trained service dogs can provide to people with disabilities. Bo got to meet a service dog, and his actual service dog will be selected and trained to meet his specific needs. It will be given to him at a Canine Assistants training camp he will attend at a later date. Canine Assistants is a national charitable organization that provides service dogs to people with disabilities, at no cost to the recipient. The organization runs entirely on individual and corporate donations, such as those from Milk-Bone dog biscuits. Due to high demand and low funding, it would take over five years to provide dogs to everyone on the Canine Assistants waiting list. Through the brand’s “I Give” initiative, Milk-Bone is taking the first step to help eliminate the waiting list for Canine Assistants and help provide dogs for those in need. Consumers can help Milk-Bone in the effort by visiting www.milkbone.com and donating to Canine Assistants.

fering from advanced emphysema after smoking Philip Morris’ Benson & Hedges brand for years. The tobacco companies point out that during one stretch in 2010 they prevailed in eight of nine cases, although the trend later was reversed. Attorneys said cigarette makers often win when it is difficult to prove that cigarettes caused a particular illness, or when jurors decide that people who smoke must take responsibility and assume the consequences. “There are some jurors who are really opposed to the idea of someone who smoked bringing a case against the cigarette manufacturer,” said Keith Mitnick, an Orlando attorney who won a multimillion-dollar verdict against R.J. Reynolds in April. “In jury selection, we target that very question. It doesn’t take but one strong-willed juror to make the difference in the outcome.” Other recent setbacks against tobacco companies: • In Boston, a jury in December awarded $152 million to the estate and son of a woman who died of lung cancer in 2002. The lawsuit claimed that Lorillard Tobacco Co. hooked the woman on smoking after giving away free samples of cigarettes in the Boston housing project where she lived as a child. • In Connecticut, U.S. Smokeless Tobacco Co., mak-
er of Skoal and Copenhagen, agreed in December to pay $5 million to the family of a man who died of mouth cancer in what was believed to be the first wrongful-death settlement won from a chewing tobacco company. • Also in December, Minnesota’s appeals court allowed a class-action case to continue for people who claim Marlboro Light cigarettes, made by Philip Morris, were marketed as supposedly safer to smoke using false advertising and consumer fraud. Philip Morris is appealing that decision. If the losing trend and multimillion-dollar verdicts continue, some legal experts said the tobacco companies may rethink their long-standing policy against settling the smoker lawsuits. “When we get to the point that plaintiff verdicts are upheld, with the industry looking at thousands of additional trials and expenses, they would weigh all of that together and possibly settle later down the road,” said Edward Sweda, senior attorney for the Tobacco Products Liability Project at Northeastern University law school in Boston. Lawsuits will likely end up before the U.S. Supreme Court before that happens. “We have a strong legal and factual basis to fight each of these cases. We will fight every adverse decision against us,” said Garnick, the Philip Morris attorney.
FedEx picks Georgia for new $55 million distribution center NORCROSS, Ga. (AP) — FedEx Corp. expects to employ 240 workers and 75 contractors when it opens a new distribution center in Norcross next year, company officials said Friday. Gov. Nathan Deal joined with executives from the shipping firm as ground was broken for the $55 million facility. The 215,000-square-foot facility is designed to process 15,000 packages per hour, and will have the capacity to dispatch 75 pickup and delivery vans each day, according to officials with Memphis-based FedEx. Norcross was chosen because of its proximity to major highways and customer distribution operations. “Enhancing FedEx Ground’s distribution capability in the Southeast is critical to increasing the size, speed
and efficiency of our network,” Robert Holcombe, vice president of the southern region for FedEx Ground, said in a statement. The new facility — scheduled to open in the fall of 2012 — is part of a nationwide network expansion to boost daily package volume capacity and enhance the FedEx Ground network, company officials said. Georgia’s logistics and transportation network is one of the state’s most attractive assets for business, Deal’s office said in a statement announcing the FedEx facility. Companies in Georgia can reach 80 percent of the U.S. market within a two-day truck haul or a two-hour flight, according to the governor’s office. Also, the Port of Savannah is the nation’s fastestgrowing container port.
Discover Financial Services chief gets big pay hike NEW YORK (AP) — Discover Financial Services Co. said Chairman and Chief Executive David Nelms received compensation valued at about $8.5 million in fiscal 2010, almost double from the prior year. The credit card issuer said in a regulatory filing Friday that Nelms’ base salary increased to $4.55 million from $1 million the previous year. His salary was made up of $1 million in cash and $3.55 million in stock. Nelms also was awarded a $1.7 million bonus, according to the filing. A year earlier, he received no bonus. His restricted stock awards and op-
tions fell 32 percent to $2.3 million. Additionally, the company contributed $17,150 to Nelm’s 401(k) retirement plan. Nelms received a total of $4.3 million in all compensation in 2009, and $2.4 million in 2008 at the height of the financial crisis. In December, Discover said it is reducing the base salaries for its top executives for 2011 and basing part of their compensation on stock earned if the company meets certain performance benchmarks. The company said the changes help align executive pay with company performance.
Windstream earnings fall slightly LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Local-phone company Windstream Corp. said Friday that its fourth-quarter profit slipped 4.1 percent even as revenue rose due to acquisitions. The results were slightly below Wall Street estimates, and Windstream shares fell 66 cents, or 5 percent, to $12.57. The Little Rock-based company said its net income fell to $72.4 million, or 15 cents per share, in the October-December quarter. That was down from $75.5 million, or 17 cents per share, in the yearago quarter. Excluding $20 million in merger and restructuring charges, earnings were 19 cents per share, a penny short of the average analyst esti-
mate, according to a survey by FactSet. Revenue rose 30 percent to $981 million from $744.4 million a year ago but short of analysts’ expectations at $986 million. The revenue increase was due to a series of acquisitions, mainly of Iowa Telecommunications Services Inc., which Windstream bought for $1.2 billion in cash and stock on June 1. Excluding acquisitions, Windstream’s revenue fell 2 percent. For the current year, Windstream expects revenue of $4.015 billion to $4.14 billion, above the average analyst forecast of $3.97 billion. However, analyst Christopher King at Stifel Nicolaus said the revenue was in line with his estimate.

Days of free debit card use coming to an end for some JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Achieving that critical balance between a viable revenue level and a satisfied customer base is about to get much more difficult for bankers in Mississippi. They must make tough decisions before the Federal Reserve’s Board of Governors puts a cap on the fees that can be collected from merchants who accept a bank’s debit card for purchases. Right now, the Fed is proposing a cap of 12 cents a transaction. The cap would result in card issuers receiving transaction, or interchange, fees 70 percent lower than their 2009 average, according to Federal Reserve calculations. The cap isn’t the first bit of recent pain inflicted on the non-interest revenue of banks. The cap’s arrival comes a year after a stiffening of the federal Regulation E, originally enacted in 1978 as the Electronic Funds Transfer Act. The measure that went into effect last July requires banks to notify customers when an ATM or debit-card transaction will result in an overdraft or insufficient funds fee. Banks and credit unions can’t pay debit-card and ATM overdraft transactions without allowing the customer to opt out at the time of the transaction, or to opt in by agreeing ahead of time that the bank will pay items into overdraft. The banking sector is reported to have generated more than $35 billion in overdraft fees in 2009. Together, the Regulation E and interchange cap have forced bankers in Mississippi
associated press
the Federal reserve’s Board of Governors is capping fees that can be collected from merchants who accept debit cards for purchases. it is proposing a cap of 12 cents a transaction. and elsewhere to wonder how far they can go in offsetting the lost revenue and not cause customers to take their business to a competitor with lower fees. You can’t keep the status quo — not when a bank’s cost of maintaining a checking account has reached upward of $300 a year and costs associated with electronic transactions are rising as well, bankers and banking consultants say. Until now, banks could cover the costs of “the bells and whistles” of an account through interchange fees, said Brandon Roberts, a banking economist and principal of Premier Insights, a Canton consulting firm. “This is compounded by the fact than profit margins have already been squeezed,” he said. Thus, annual fees for ATM and debit card use as well as prepaid debit accounts — which would not be subject to
the 12-cents cap — are getting a look. The key term is “fee-eligible. “If it can carry a fee, it’s going into the mix for consideration, Roberts said. He said he sees charges for debit card use and access to ATMs as a strong possibility by this time next year. “I think that’s on everybody’s mind,” he said, and fixed the likelihood of such fees at “at least 50 percent.” Hans Petit, head of HORNE CPAs’ banking practice, said he expects caution will rule any decision a bank makes. “We’re not going to see anybody jump out there on the edge,” he said. “When rates (on deposits) are as low as they are and competition as competitive as it is, you don’t want to jump out there in front of the competition.” Petit said a fee could cause customers to become fond of using brick-and-mortar bank
facilities instead of electronic debit cards. “Unless it’s going to be an industry-wide adoption, you could run off deposits,” he said. Birmingham, Ala.-based Regions Bank is seeking that elusive balance, said Evelyn Mitchell, a bank spokeswoman. Regions wants a way to meet customer needs “without compromising our ability to reinvest in our business for the long-term,” she said. At the 12-cents a transaction as proposed today, the cap on interchange fees “will have a significant impact” on noninterest revenues and force banks to come up with new ways to cover the cost of debit card administration, Mitchell said. “It will change the way the industry does things,” she said. And for Regions and other banks, the changes would have to be implemented at a time debit cards are more popular than ever. Regions’ interchange and ATM income hit $368 million for the year, coming off a record quarter in that income category, President and CEO Grayson Hall said in the bank’s fourth quarter earnings presentation. The fees rose 18 percent over the same period a year ago, driven by an 8 percent increase in card use and 13 percent rise in spending levels, Hall said. “Our new checking account customers are electing to have debit cards 87 percent of the time, a record level of penetration for this product,” Hall said. The growth in interchange
24/7
fees last fiscal year largely offset the $57-million loss of revenue from the new Regulation E overdraft rule, according to Regions CFO David Turner. Those fees won’t be at the level in 2011, which means Regions faces additional “income fee challenges in 2011,” Hall said. The interchange fee changes, “obviously will impact the way we charge for banking services.” At the moment, said Hall, “We are trying to better understand both the intended and unintended consequences of these changes.” Jerry Host, CEO of Jackson-based Trustmark Bank, said Regulation E’s damage to Trustmark’s non-interest revenue last fiscal year was limited to about $1 million. “We feel like Trustmark executed a very successful education program with our clients” on the opt-in-opt-out overdraft rules. Host, in Trusmark’s 4Q earnings presentation, said he expects Regulation E to cost the bank $6 million to $9 million in revenue next year. With the proposed 12-cents cap on interchange fees, Trustmark projects it would lose between $4 million and $6 million for the slightly less than half year the new cap is in place in 2011, Host said. “It’s too early to project the revenue impact because there is a great deal of uncertainty that remains,” Host said. “However, we are well into the process of reviewing our options and to limit the impact” of the fee cap. Roberts said the effects of Regulation E and the interchange cap could be especial-
ly painful to a Mississippi banking sector that went into the banking recession somewhat later than banks elsewhere in the country. “Banks in Mississippi are still on the downside of it,” he said. “There are still some things to unfold here.” Real estate loan chargeoffs and non-performing loans came close to $2 billion in Mississippi last year, Roberts said. “That’s a pretty good drain.” For example, he said, “Say you get one-and-a- quarter return on assets and 4 percent of your loan volume is past due and you’re charging off 1 percent a year. There go your earnings.” With July 21 on the horizon, said Roberts: “I think they all feel the pressure and are concerned about adding this additional burden at a time when they are struggling anyway.” Information from: Mississippi Business Journal, http://www.msbusiness.com An AP Mississippi member exchange.

Shade-tree mechanic knows the nuts and bolts of it Vicksburg Post
VICKSBURG, Miss. (AP) — “Don’t fall in love with a car,” Jim Stanford advises. “They’re just nuts and bolts. They can be replaced.” Pointing to a few vehicles in his driveway, he said, “They are all for sale. If the price is right, they’ll go.” He can’t count the number of cars he has owned, he said, but they include just about everything from a Cadillac to a Corvette — “almost every breed of car” — since his first one, a 1952 green Dodge Coupe with loud outside pipes he had when he was in high school. Selling cars isn’t his main interest, though. It’s working on them, something he has done most of his 74 years. What was his vocation was also his avocation, for he’s part of a scene vanishing from the American landscape. He’s a shade-tree mechanic. He works on cars and trucks in a shop on the hill near his home. He got started,
he said, doing his own repairs, then for friends. It also began with a good bit of bartering — an engine overhaul for cabinets, a tractor. His love for engines and what makes them run began when he was about 8, driving a tractor on his grandparents’ farm. He taught himself to drive, first pulling a plow and then a cultivator. He became mechanicallyminded “just to keep the plows running.” He had two uncles, James and George McMillin, who had automotive shops, and by the time he was 15 he was working for them, and about the same time, he worked part time at Allen’s Dairy servicing their trucks. By the time he graduated from high school, he was ready for a job in maintenance. From there he went to Westinghouse, where he remained for 42 years and through several company name changes, keeping their lift truck and other equipment running. Most of his knowledge was gained through “on the job
training,” which was standard for many youths in the 1950s into the 1970s. At the same time, for 37 years, he was in the Army Reserve where he became familiar with military equipment. He recalls a time at Camp Shelby when they were building an airstrip. The government had bought some Super C dozers from LeTourneau, “an odd piece of machinery to start with, but it functioned.” There was an instructor who had a hard time keeping the equipment running. “I didn’t say anything,” Jim said. “But a buddy of mine spoke up, telling them, ‘You’ve got a man right here who worked for the company that made those and knows all about them.’” So Jim got involved and knew enough of the “do’s and don’t’s” to get the Super C up and running. Jim grew up in an era when many men did routine maintenance on their vehicles, such as changing oil and filters and plugs and rotating tires. Most cars with 50,000 miles on the odometer needed
an overhaul, and at 100,000, the car was shot. Today, he said, if you take care of one it will run for 200,000 miles or more. There’s a pickup in his shop that doesn’t need any major work that has close to 300,000 on it. Now, he knows kids from 18 to 25 who can’t find the hood latch and know nothing about checking the oil or water — and they’ve been behind the wheel for 100,000 miles. Most problems, Jim said, can be attributed to the age of the vehicle and the mileage, improper servicing and operator error. Often, he said, people call him and just tell him that the car is broke. The conversation goes something like this: I say, “Will it crank?” “No,” they say. So I say, “Will it turn over?” They say, “What do you mean, turn over?” “Will the starter turn?” I ask. “Naw” or “Yeah” or “It just thumps.” “Well, give me some background. Did the car run hot? Did steam come out from un-
der the hood? Give me an idea where to start.” Jim said he’s had folks to “drag ’em up here and just dump ’em and say fix it.” It isn’t worth fixing, Jim said, when the cost of repairs is over two-thirds of what the vehicle is worth. That’s when “you should just haul it off, regardless of how nice it looks.” He has other talents that have kept him busy. His carpentry skills include the “mother-in-law-wing” on the house. “I always said if I can see somebody do it, and talk to them, I can do it, too,” he said.
shares to “Neutral” from “Overweight.” Also putting the squeeze on Wal-Mart is increasing competition from dollar stores, grocery chains and Target Corp., which last October began giving customers who pay with its branded credit or debit card a 5 percent discount. Analysts will want to know how new initiatives, including a recent collaboration with suppliers to offer products in smaller sizes it sells mostly for a dollar, are affecting customer traffic. They’ll also want to know about inflationary pressures from soaring commodity prices and rising labor costs in China. Wal-Mart is better able than smaller stores to control the prices it pays, but its main customers are the Americans most vulnerable to price increases because they live from paycheck to paycheck. Rising gas prices, now over $3 per gallon nationally, also could push Wal-Mart customers trying to save on gas
costs toward rivals like dollar stores that tend to be closer to home. WHY IT MATTERS: Results from Wal-Mart come as close as any retailer’s can to being an economic indicator. Consumer spending, including major items like health care, accounts for 70 percent of U.S. economic activity. How quickly goods fly off the shelf at Wal-Mart provides a compelling checkup of the nation’s economic health. WHAT’S EXPECTED: Analysts surveyed by FactSet expect Wal-Mart to report earnings of $1.31 per share and sales of $117.52 billion for the quarter that ended in January. LAST YEAR’S QUARTER: WalMart earned $1.17 per share per share on sales of $112.83 billion, or $113.65 billion, including Sam’s Club membership fees.

season results will disappoint. The shares are now trading at $55, though that’s still near the high end of their 52-week range of $47.77 and $57.90. Missteps in merchandising and pricing have been big factors in Wal-Mart’s weakness in U.S. sales. The company has resumed emphasizing low prices and stocking thousands of products it culled in a bid to clean up its stores. But these initiatives are “likely taking time to gain traction with shoppers,” writes UBS analyst Neil Currie in a note published Feb. 10. Currie downgraded the stock to “Neutral” from “Buy.” “We don’t think Wal-Mart had a great holiday season and, if anything, believe the (revenue) trend became sequentially worse as the quarter progressed,” wrote Charles Grom, a retail analyst at J.P. Morgan in a report published this week. He said he expects unfavorable trends in traffic and market share of key consumables will persist in 2011, and he downgraded Wal-Mart’s

Wal-Mart earnings report a good barometer on economy NEW YORK (AP) — WalMart Stores Inc., the world’s largest retailer, reports its fourth-quarter results before the market opens Tuesday. WHAT TO WATCH FOR: Any signs of improvement in WalMart’s U.S. business. Wal-Mart said it expects its holiday results to reverse six straight quarters of declines in revenue at stores open at least a year — a key measure of retailers’ financial prospects — but not by a whole lot. Wal-Mart issued a forecast in November for a range from a decline of 1 percent to a gain of 2 percent; it told reporters to focus on the midpoint. Analysts surveyed by Factset on average expect a 0.5 percent increase. Despite the declines, Wal-Mart has generally kept profits rising by relentlessly cutting costs and by growing internationally. Wal-Mart’s stock has slipped more than 3 percent since late January as Wall Street increasingly worries that the discounter’s holiday

Cable networks plan flood of royal wedding shows NEW YORK (AP) — Television viewers will be able to see hours on hours of programming tied to this spring’s royal wedding before Prince William and Kate Middleton even approach Westminster Abbey for their big day. A Lifetime movie, a show that brings wedding fanatics from the U.S. over to London and a TLC special on hoarders of royal memorabilia are all in the works. These runup shows are in addition to the anticipated exhaustive coverage of the April 29 wedding itself by news programs. “It’s wedding fever here,” said Perry Simon, general manager of BBC Worldwide Americas. “All wedding, all the time.” There’s no surprise that the American offshoot of the British Broadcasting Corp. would try to own the story in the weeks leading up to the nuptials. BBC America has already aired two specials, “William & Kate: Modern Monarchy” and “Modern Monarchy: Here and There,” and will air them again. The network is also working to acquire up to a half dozen other specials, including ones on Princess Diana, another on her two sons and one on royal lineage. BBC America’s biggest push will be for “Royally Mad,” a two-part series led by “So You Think You Can
In the week leading up to the wedding, the TLC network will air a series of programs. Dance” host Cat Deeley, which premieres April 12. The show finds four royal wedding fanatics who have never been out of the U.S. and takes them to London to visit people and places that play a part in the wedding story. “We wanted to do a combination of programming that took an affectionate look at the wedding but could also have a sense of humor,” Simon said. He wants to examine what the event means from both the American and British perspectives. Simon was working in NBC’s entertainment department when William’s father, Prince Charles, married Diana in 1981 and remembered the attention paid to the event. “It took us all by surprise,” he said. “We thought there would be some interest, but we had no idea how much interest there would be. These kinds of events are once-in-a-generation. The royal family is unique.” In the week leading up to the wedding, the TLC net-
work will air a series of programs. One special will tell the story of India Hicks, who was one of Princess Diana’s bridesmaids. She tells stories about what that day was like. The special on extreme collecting of royal memorabilia is another highlight of TLC’s programming plans. Archived footage and interviews with the royal family will be rolled out in separate shows. Lifetime, known for its signature romantic movies, has commissioned “William & Kate.” The movie chronicles their courtship, from the moment they met and when a friendship turned into romance, with the unique difficulties that go into dating a member of the royal family. Nico Evers-Swindell and Camilla Luddington portray the couple in the movie, which doesn’t have an air date yet but will be seen in April. The tiny Wedding Central network, an offshoot of WE that is seen in only 3.5 million homes, has ordered a documentary it boldly calls “William & Kate: The Wedding of the Century.” The special, the first piece of original programming the network has made, will talk to designers, cake makers, wedding planners and experts to hear their vision of the day.
Sunday, Feb. 20 There are strong indications that you’ll be more successful in the year ahead with ventures or endeavors that you already have underway. Before breaking any new ground, first prove that you are a finisher and a winner. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — Being your own person is an admirable expression of your independence, but it is equally important to go along with the will of the majority. If you do otherwise, nothing can be gained. Aries (March 21-April 19) — If you have a problem with someone, don’t leave the door open for others to butt in with their opinion; they’ll only make the matter worse. Solve things on your own. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — View yourself and what you say in a realistic fashion, because if you don’t, and your opinions are all on the negative side, it’ll have a deleterious effect on the way you handle things. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — It’s nice of you to want to help, but if your judgment is off, it could prove costly to the person you want to assist. There are indications that this could be the case. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — There are indications that you won’t complete any one job to your satisfaction if you try to do too many things simultaneously. Remember, it’s how well you accomplish a task, not how many you undertake. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — You wouldn’t like it if someone who barely knows you judges you poorly on scanty information, yet this is exactly what you might do to a person whom you just met. Get to know him/her better. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Subdue your purchases by buying just what you need instead of all that you want. Trying to keep up with the Joneses or acquiring something just because a friend has one is just plain foolish. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Once you establish a constructive objective that you believe to be worthwhile to accomplish, keep it in your sights. You could easily get sidetracked if you take your eye off the prize. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Under normal conditions your intuitive perceptions are usually worthy of pursuit. If they are based on emotion rather than logic, however, it could be another story. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — There is always a red flag up when considering doing anything financial with a friend. If this is what you’re considering, make sure everything is handled in a businesslike manner. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — There are likely to be questions asked about your objectives and those whom you are trying to interest. Unless both can guarantee that each will benefit equally, there won’t be an allegiance. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - If you have to make a presentation, it is best to speak from notes and/or an outline. If you aren’t properly organized, it is doubtful you’ll be effective.

Co-producer of ‘Narnia’ films dies at 39 in NYC NEW YORK (AP) — Perry Moore, a co-producer of “The Chronicles of Narnia” film series and the author of an award-winning novel about a gay teenager with superpowers, was found unconscious in his bathroom and died later at a hospital, police said. He was 39. His father, Bill Moore, told The New York Daily News in Saturday editions that an initial autopsy was inconclusive. “I have no clue what happened. The examiner said he was in good condition,” Bill Moore said. His father and friends said he suffered from chronic back pain. Moore was found unconscious in the bathroom of his Manhattan home Thursday, and doctors couldn’t save his life, police said. The cause of death will be determined by the city’s medical examiner, but no foul play was suspected. Moore had a varied career in television and in film, as producer, screenwriter and director. His 2007 novel, “Hero,” won the Lambda Literary Award for best novel for young gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender children or adults. Moore, who was gay, said in an interview on his website that in writing the novel, he had wanted to tell the story of his father, a Vietnam veteran, “and his son.” “Like most young people, I grew up feeling alienated and different — for very specific reasons in my case — in a place that didn’t value differences,” he said. “I also have this borderline-crazy belief in the power of literature to

So I’d always wanted to tell this story.” Moore was an executive producer on all three hugely successful “Narnia” films, and authored a best-selling illustrated book for the first film, “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.” He directed a 2008 drama with Sissy Spacek called “Lake City” and co-directed a documentary about children’s book author Maurice Sendak with Hunter Hill and Spike Jonze. He scored a “Sexy Man of the Week” rating by People Magazine in 2007. But it was his novel about a super-powered teenager that seemed to focus his passions. With “Hero,” he said he hoped to create a gay superhero who was not, he said, a supporting character, victim or token. “I decided I would write the definitive comingof-age story of the world’s
first gay teen superhero,” he said. It was the death of one of the first prominent gay heroes in the Marvel Comics universe, Northstar, at the hands of X-Men’s Wolverine, that spurred him to finish the book. “He slaughtered the X-Men’s token gay hero,” Moore said. “I found this story be disturbing, to say the least.” He compiled a list of gay characters in comics to show how most were “minor characters, and victims who are tortured, maimed and killed.” Moore was born in Virginia Beach, Va., and majored in English at the University of Virginia, according to his website. He started his career in television at MTV and VH1, then worked for “The Rosie O’Donnell Show.” He later joined Walden Media, the company that produced the films based on C.S. Lewis’ “Narnia” books.

Gulf bottom still oily, littered with dead creatures
she had been studying before the oil spill on April 20 and said there was a noticeable change. Much of the oil she found on the sea floor — and in the water column — was chemically fingerprinted, proving it comes from the BP spill. Joye is still waiting for results to show other oil samples she tested are from BP’s Macondo well. She also showed pictures of oil-choked bottom-dwelling creatures. They included dead crabs and brittle stars — starfish like critters that are normally bright orange and tightly wrapped around coral.
These brittle stars were pale, loose and dead. She also saw tube worms so full of oil they suffocated. “This is Macondo oil on the bottom,” Joye said as she showed slides. “This is dead organisms because of oil being deposited on their heads.” Joye said her research shows that the burning of oil left soot on the sea floor, which still had petroleum products. And even more troublesome was the tremendous amount of methane from the BP well that mixed into the Gulf and was mostly ignored
the Gulf of Mexico would almost fully recover by 2012 — something Joye and Lubchenco said isn’t right. “I’ve been to the bottom. I’ve seen what it looks like with my own eyes. It’s not going to be fine by 2012,” Joye told the Associated Press. “You see what the bottom looks like, you have a different opinion.” NOAA chief Lubchenco said “even though the oil degraded relatively rapidly and is now mostly but not all gone, damage done to a variety of species may not become obvious for years to come.” Lubchenco Saturday also announced the start of a Gulf restoration planning process to get the Gulf back to the condition it was on Apr. 19, the day before the spill. That program would eventually be
paid for BP and other parties deemed responsible for the spill. This would be separate from an already begun restoration program that would improve all aspects of the Gulf, not just the oil spill, but has not been funded by the government yet, she said. The new program, which is part of the Natural Resources Damage Assessment program, is part of the oil spill litigation — or out-of-court settlement — in which the polluters pay for overall damage to the ecosystem and efforts to return it to normal. This is different than paying compensation to people and businesses directly damaged by the spill. The process will begin with public meetings all over the region,

by other researchers. Joye and three colleagues last week published a study in Nature Geoscience that said the amount of gas injected into the Gulf was the equivalent of between 1.5 and 3 million barrels of oil. “The gas is an important part of understanding what happened,” said Ian MacDonald of Florida State University. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration chief Jane Lubchenco told reporters Saturday that “it’s not a contradiction to say that although most of the oil is gone, there still remains oil out there.” Earlier this month, Kenneth Feinberg, the government’s oil compensation fund czar, said based on research he commissioned he figured

WASHINGTON (AP) — Oil from the BP spill remains stuck on the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico, according to a scientist’s video and slides that demonstrate the oil isn’t degrading as hoped and has decimated life on parts of the sea floor. At a science conference in Washington, marine scientist Samantha Joye of the University of Georgia aired early results of her December submarine dives around the BP spill site. She went to places she had visited in the summer and expected the oil and residue from oil-munching microbes would be gone by then. It wasn’t. “There’s some sort of a bottleneck we have yet to identify for why this stuff doesn’t seem to be degrading,” Joye told the American Association for the Advancement of Science annual conference in Washington. Her research and those of her colleagues contrasts with other studies that show a more optimistic outlook about the health of the gulf, saying microbes did great work munching the oil. “Magic microbes consumed maybe 10 percent of the total discharge, the rest of it we don’t know,” Joye said, later adding: “There’s a lot of it out there.” The head of the agency in charge of the health of the Gulf said Saturday that she thought “most of the oil is gone.” And a Department of Energy scientist, doing research with a grant from BP from before the spill, said his examination of oil plumes in the water column show that microbes have done a “fairly fast” job of eating the oil. Lawrence Berkeley National Lab scientist Terry Hazen said his research differs from Joye’s because they looked at different places at different times. Joye’s research was more widespread, but has been slower in being published in scientific literature. In five different expeditions, the last one in December, Joye and colleagues took 250 cores of the sea floor and travelled across 2,600 square miles. Some of the locations

The wet and stormy weather of the West will spread into the Plains Sunday. The major winter storm that pounded the West yesterday will bring a moderate mix of wintry precipitation to the Plains by Sunday morning. Energetic disturbances combined with ample moisture from the Gulf of Mexico and arctic air from the north will support heavy snowfall through much of the day. As the system intensifies, strong gusty winds will result in possible blizzard conditions in South Dakota with periods of blowing and drifting snow. The storm will have the potential to produce 5 to 10 inch snow accumulations or greater across much of the Upper Midwest from Saturday night through Monday morning. Meanwhile, bands of ice are expected to develop from northern Iowa into northern Ohio and southern Michigan during the afternoon. Ice accumulations in these areas may exceed 0.25 inches. Moderate snow showers are expected to develop to the north of this ice belt, while scattered rain showers and thunderstorms develop to the south. In addition to wintry precipitation, expect drastically lower daytime highs across the Central U.S. with a temperature change exceeding 30 degrees in some areas. As active weather spreads into the Central U.S., scattered snow showers with periods of light to moderate snow accumulations will persist across the Rockies. Meanwhile, the West Coast will see a brief break in wet weather activity as low pressure lifts to the east. Residual moisture may kick up a few light, patchy showers. Daytime highs are expected to remain below seasonal values through the middle of the week. Finally, dry conditions with colder temperatures will prevail in the East through Sunday.

A broader look at broadband Consultant says city needs business-oriented strategy BY ELIZABETH COOK ecook@salisburypost.com
B
roadband industry consultant Craig Settles says municipalities like Salisbury that are developing fiber-to-the-home networks need to plan for the future with business customers in mind, not consumers with limited personal needs. Settles, 54, of Oakland, Calif., spoke Feb. 11 at a luncheon that was part of Salisbury City Council’s annual planning retreat. In a Q&A interview afterwards with the Salisbury Post, Settles discussed Salisbury’s Fibrant network, the need for speed, white space technology, the role of wireless communications and other topics. Settles, who attended the University of Southern California and the University of California at Berkley, served in 1999 as director of electronic commerce for Metricom, which marketed Ricochet wireless Internet access service, the precursor to municipal wireless networks. He has written two books, “Fighting the Good Fight for Municipal Wireless” in 2005 and “Fighting the Next Good Fight: Bringing True Broadband to Your Community.” In recent years he has consulted with several cities on municipal broadband strategy. Here is an edited transcript of the interview: Q: One of our readers wants to know what happens when people quit plugging in? Mobile is the new norm. Even the cable guys have to be nervous. A: You cannot have a wireless network without fiber, because all those access points, those radio transmitters, they have to come back to a wire. And, the other half of that is, wireless by the physics of wireless can only go so fast. I think it comes out to be about 20 megabits, maybe 30 megabits per second, and you physically cannot get a reliable connection any faster than that. Some miracle could always happen down the road, but wireless is governed by the laws of physics. So it’s not about a product, per se. Q: Another person said, “I would love to hear an objective view on Fi-
brant. If his credentials support such ...” A: Ha! Q: “... please offer a layman’s opinion. There is too much anecdotal information out there.” A: If I look at every other place that I’ve talked to which has a successful network, there is nothing to indicate that this network will not be successful as well. It’s using the right technology. They’ve got it up and running. The group that’s running it is very measured in how they expand the network, and this is a critical thing actually. They’re being careful not to oversell it — like literally, as far as subscribers. They’re being careful not to overhype it. And they are being careful about how they expand the capacity. It becomes a combination of economics and just the cost of building a network. So while technically they could build in the capability for the network to provide a gigabit (per second) and will do so eventually, if you do it too soon, you’re supporting costs that you can’t make back. Q: What percentage of the population needs 100 megabits per second? A: For the next year, probably a third. And that is truly a guesstimate. For the general public — everyday people walking down the street — their need is not as great. They’re doing things like downloading videos, sending pictures to Grandma of the kids and all those kinds of things. In a lot of places, what’s already in place is fine for the average non-data-intensive business But when I look at, No. 1, where we’re going to be in three years and what applications are going to be out there, 100 megabits will be probably the norm in three years, definitely in five. If I look at the businesses that will drive a local economy, the need even currently is for hundreds of megabits — if I look at biotech, if I look at software, software engineering and development, everything related to digital imagery ... When you look at who’s adopting data-intensive applications, who wants to do video in the future, cloud computing in the future, telecommuting in the next three to five years, that’s trending upward. If as a community you say that you have a network and you want to use it for economic development, every community that says
JON C. LAKEY/SALISBURY POST
Broadband consultant and author Craig Settles says Salisbury’s fiber-to-the home should be successful if it targets growth and constantly educates customers. that, their need for 100 megabits or more is right now. In discussions, things get a little crazy because people think about the consumer, they think about their own personal needs, and there isn’t in their mind a clear demand for a gigabit network. In my first book, one of my first points was you do not want to build this network based on individual consumers. If you do, your business model is going to be in jeopardy. Because they need too little, they’re too fickle and they cost too much to both get and keep for you to make a solid business of it. So where it makes sense is government use, business use, educa-
tion use — and I include in there retraining workers, getting kids ready for the kinds of software and technology that’s out there to support learning. That is extremely data-intense. So at a community level, if you’re talking about the community’s needs, then the need for a gigabit is here and now. And clearly there are communities that are proving that — Chattanooga, Santa Monica, Wilson, Ontario County in New York — like 80-some communities that are running their own, either through a public utility or city government. Q: One of our online commenters was talking about the network’s abili-
ty to draw business and said, “Not really. Soon just about every town and city will have high speed suitable for business. White space super wifi will arrive everywhere with cheapo super high speeds in the next two years.” What about white space? A: That is a gamble of sorts. On paper white space is everywhere, and on paper, the thing that makes white space what it is points to the ability to bring both cheap and fast wireless access in a lot of places.

But it wasn’t enough protection, and women reported later that they were sexually harassed — stared at, shouted at, and groped — that night. “All the men were very respectful during the revolution,” said Nawla Darwiche, an Egyptian feminist. “Sexual harassment didn’t occur during the revolt. It occurred during that night. I was personally harassed that night.” During the uprising, women say they briefly experienced a “new Egypt,” with strict social customs casually cast aside — at least among the protesters. Young women in jeans and tank tops smoked in public, standing next to bearded Islamists who didn’t bat an eye. Men and women mingled freely, unusual for a society where gender segregation in public is still common.

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT
Declaration of sunshine All political power is vested in and derived from the people; all government of right originates from the people, is founded upon their will only, and is instituted solely for the good of the whole. ... The people of this State have the inherent, sole, and exclusive right of regulating the internal government and police thereof ...” Declaration of Rights, North Carolina State Constitution
he state Constitution leaves no doubt about who is in charge of government in North Carolina. “All political power is vested in and derived from the people,” it says. A proposed Constitutional amendment would underscore the sovereignty of the people by spelling out their right to access public records and attend meetings of public bodies. Lawmakers should support and embrace the bill. They call it the Sunshine Amendment. Sunshine laws help ensure that government operates in a transparent and open way — in the sunshine — rather than in secret. North Carolina has strong sunshine laws. This amendment would not make more records public; existing exemptions would remain in force. But it sends a strong message about the importance of open government to the state and its people. And, if approved, the amendment would require a two-thirds “supermajority” vote to create new exemptions to the openness requirements of the state’s public records and open meetings laws. In the state Senate, Andrew Brock, who represents Rowan and Davie counties, is co-sponsoring the bill, as are Fletcher Hartsell of Cabarrus and Stan Bingham of Davidson County. No Rowan representatives are listed as co-sponsors on the House side yet, but Fred Steen and Harry Warren could make a strong statement about their confidence in the people by also supporting the amendment. If the state House and Senate approve, which seems very likely, the amendment would appear on the ballot in 2012 for voter approval. The complete text of the bills, HB 87 and SB 67, is available on the General Assembly’s website, www.ncga.state.nc.us/ Sessions/2011/Bills. We urge you to read the bills and voice your support to state legislators. This is good governance, something the people of North Carolina believe in and want. Open government should be a matter of course, not a constant struggle against those who would operate in secret. Enshrining open government in the state Constitution would make a powerful statement to public officials and office-holders. “All political power is vested in and derived from the people,” and the people have a right to know.

In racing, however, that’s the ever-present reality. “To achieve anything in this game, you must be prepared to dabble in the boundary of disaster,” the great British racing driver Sterling Moss once said. Hundreds of drivers have crossed that boundary in a century or so of organized auto racing. At Daytona alone, the toll stands at 24. At Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the number is 56. Another 24 drivers have perished at Le Mans, the famed French circuit. After Earnhardt’s death, the Charlotte Observer began researching auto racing deaths. Between 1990 and 2001, it found more than 220 drivers had been killed — most of them at smaller tracks where safety requirements are less strict. Since 2001, the list has grown by more than 200 names — and that doesn’t include drivers who perished in other countries. Drivers will tell you they don’t think about it. If they did, they couldn’t do what they do. Even with safety improvements that allow them to walk away from spectacular crashes, the brute laws of physics still prevail. While Earnhardt’s crash didn’t look that bad, later analysis estimated he was traveling at about 160 mph when his car hit the wall, bringing it to a violently abrupt halt. Earnhardt, the medical experts later assured us, died instantly — a sliver of mercy on one of racing’s cruelest days. • • • Chris Verner is opinion page editor of the Salisbury Post.

School system takes bullying seriously Q: What is the school system doing to address the problem of bullying? A: Bullying has become a major problem in our country for school-aged children and adults. When eighth-grade students in our school system were asked recently why they had considered dropping out of school or why their friends may have dropped out of school, results indicated that bullying was the No. 1 reason. The creation of social media JUDY (Facebook, GRISSOM blogs, texting, etc.) has increased the ability for bullies to inflict harm while often remaining anonymous. Students and adults are sending harassing e-mails or instant messages and posting insulting and slanderous messages to online bulletin boards, social sites and blogs. One of the reasons that cyber-bullying has increased and has the potential to cause even more harm to children and adults is that electronic bullies can make it very difficult to determine the identity of the aggressors. Individuals can use their personal computer or
cell phone to bully another individual because it takes less energy and fortitude to express hurtful comments using a keyboard or keypad than with one’s own voice. The Rowan-Salisbury School System is diligent about monitoring what information and opportunities are available to students when using school computers or other electronic devices. However, there is an urgent need for parents and others to continue to monitor online correspondence through personal computers, phones and other media. The Rowan-Salisbury Board of Education takes a strong stand when dealing with bullying in the system’s Code of Conduct. The Code of Conduct states “students, school system employees, volunteers and visitors are expected to behave in a civil and respectful manner. The board expressly prohibits unlawful discrimination, harassment and bullying. Any violation of this policy is serious, and school officials shall promptly take appropriate action.” Would it not be a better place if everyone would agree to behave in a civil and respectful manner? The Rowan-Salisbury School System has been proactive in seeking ways to help staff members recognize and deal with bullying. Some of the initiatives being implemented in
our school system to address bullying are: • All counselors have participated in a bullying prevention and intervention workshop this year. Roger Dinwiddie, an expert in the field, made the presentation focusing on effective strategies for dealing with bullies, victims, and bystanders. • An administrator from each middle and high school, along with all elementary administrators received the same training. • Policies are continually being examined and updated to reflect new state expectations. • Overton Elementary is piloting the “Olweus” program, a comprehensive, researchbased bullying prevention program. Teachers and staff intervene directly with students who have been bullied and those who have bullied others. The adults in the school are directly responsible for these immediate interventions. Other schools have expressed interest in beginning the program next year. Staff from the LINKS Grant Program are coordinating these efforts. • A session on bullying prevention will be presented on the February Early ReleaseDay for staff members from Carson High School, West High School, and EastRowan
High School. • Middle schools are implementing “Second Step,” a violence and bullying prevention program. • Positive support discipline programs are being implemented across the school system. • Guidance counselors are teaching lessons on violence and bullying. • Information on the effects of cyber-bullying is being shared across the school system, as well as information on social networks. • School nurses have been trained on bullying prevention and intervention. • Administrators address violators, using appropriate discipline. • Harmful effects of cyberbullying are being shared with students and staff. The Rowan-Salisbury School System takes bullying — physical, verbal, and cyber — very seriously. Bullying is one more of the behaviors that must be addressed by a partnership between home, community and school, if we expect to see a change. As adults, we should be setting a good example for our young people as to how we treat other people. ••• Dr. Judy Grissom is superintendent of the Rowan-Salisbury School System.

Indiana gov has tamed debt dragon he country needs a 2012 presidential candidate whose No. 1 aim is to tame the raging federal debt. That candidate well could be Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels, who’s proved he can manage at the state level. All prospective GOP candidates will propose deep spending cuts, but Daniels rightly elevates the cause of debt control to an epic battle for the nation’s future. At the recent Conservative Political Action Conference, he declared that, as during the 1860s, the 1940s and the Cold War, “the American project is MORTON menaced by a surKONDRACKE vival-level threat. “We face an enemy, lethal to liberty, and even more implacable than those America has defeated before. We cannot deter it. ... We cannot negotiate with it, any more than with an iceberg or a Great White.” He labeled it “the new Red Menace” and called for a new national unity around battling it. “It is our generational assignment. It is the mission of our era.” Daniels told me months ago that there was a “2 percent chance” that he might run for president, but he is acting like that percentage has risen considerably — as witness his appearing at the CPAC cattle show. It might be a long shot for a mild-mannered, 5-foot-7-inch Hoosier with a droll wit to win the nomination or the presidency, but Daniels has both the message and the record to improve the odds. He’s also got the resume — congressional aide, think tank president, millionaire CEO, White House budget director, popular two-term governor and HarleyDavidson rider. In recently published lists of the states and their deficits, Indiana appears in the best shape of any in the nation. Daniels inherited a $200 million deficit when first elected in 2000, but he has produced seven straight balanced budgets, mainly through efficiencies, not tax increases. The state built up a $1.3 billion surplus by 2008, which helped see it through the Great Recession. Now, he has a program whereby, when the state reaches balance, it stops collecting taxes.
T
At the same time, the Indiana governor is not a mere spendingslasher. He calls himself “a bit of a Whig,” meaning he thinks the government has jobs to do, including building infrastructure and educating children. He just believes in government doing what it does well. He controversially sold the Indiana Toll Road to private investors for $1.8 billion to reinvest in other roads. “We can build in half the time and two-thirds the cost when we use our own money and are free of the federal rule book,” he told CPAC. Indiana has 18,000 fewer ASSOCIATED PRESS state employees Indiana Gov.

Even with scholarships, I still relied heavily on every penny of my Pell Grants and worked at least two part time jobs all through college. I say cut elsewhere.” Then there’s Nobel Prize-winning economist and New York Times columnist Paul Krugman. Granting that with Republicans controlling the House the White House budget is mostly political theater, he assesses its “symbolic meaning.” To Krugman, the budget signals that Obama “has effectively given up on the idea that the government can do anything to create jobs in a depressed economy. In effect, although without saying so explicitly, the Obama administration has accepted the Republican claim that stimulus failed, and should never be tried again.” Really? Then how come the president specifically compared his budget to a middle-class family sacrificing comfort to invest in their daughter’s college education? “My budget does the same,”

Mooneyham needs annexation education Scott Mooneyham’s Feb. 15 article about annexation is entirely from the viewpoint of the NC League of Municipalities. Mooneyham should travel around our state himself and learn the other side of the issue. Mooneyham would find that forced annexation causes untold misery to thousands in many communities across the state. Forced annexation victims would tell him that the financial burden has forced many to sell their homes and move elsewhere. Hooking up to the city water/sewer systems typically costs $6,000 to $20,000 or more. Water/sewer bills will run $80 or more a month and will double every seven years if they go up 10 percent a year. There are city taxes which will cost about $1,200 each year and increase with time. This financial burden is quite substantial. And for what reason? The affected victims already have water and sewer service, so city services wastefully duplicate existing services. Mooneyham, take the time to sit in on City Council meetings and learn that cities receive Powell Bill funds for road maintenance from the state. Cities receive hundreds of thousands, and sometimes millions, of dollars from a multitude of block grants from our state and federal taxes. They receive huge sums from our sales tax revenue. Even if one buys from a store in unincorporated Bear Poplar, cities get a share of the sales tax. Non-municipal residents ALREADY greatly subsidize the cities. The affected citizens deserve the right to a separate vote before being annexed. Thank you, Sen. Andrew Brock, Rep. Fred Steen and Rep. Harry Warren for understanding this issue and supporting reform of our onerous annexation laws. Our country, state and county all grow without resorting to forced annexation. Few states allow forced annexation. Neither should North Carolina. — Larry G. Wright Salisbury
City needs stronger animal control laws Regarding the Feb. 17 letter to the editor about a barking dog: How would you like to live 50 feet from a pack of dogs being kept in a tiny backyard? There have been as many as 18. I do not know how many there are now, but someone saw the owner buying four more puppies at the flea market recently. Let me say I feel for the dogs. They are never walked, they are unkempt and they bark most of the time — night and day. I have tried many avenues to remedy the situation and after four years have simply given up. The city has no noise ordinances or limit on the number of dogs allowed per square footage. I am contemplating moving to the county because of this, but I love so much about the city of Salisbury, I hate to do that. The “powers that be” have told me a noise ordinance is being worked on, but that was more than a year ago. The police cannot issue citations for some reason I don’t understand. They told me to call them if the dogs were barking after 11 p.m. I did for a while, but no citations were issued, and I gave that up. I went to court and it was dismissed because it had been assigned to the wrong court. I’ve been told now that the only thing I can do now is go to the DA and go to court another time. I am contemplating that now, but I work and I do not have a lot of time to sit in court. Please, city of Salisbury, enact some laws to protect us citizens from neighbors with too many dogs and no sense of neighborly responsibility. (PS: I have three dogs and two cats — I love animals, but I try very hard to keep my animals from bothering my neighbors.) — Pat Marsh Salisbury

NETWORK FROM 1D of America who — with the current technology — we can’t afford to bring broadband to them. It may be a half million, it may be three or four million, because of density — a couple of people per square mile. At that point, there’s very little other than satellite which makes sense for them. ... If I’ve got basic wireless, I might from this point be able to move this data to this point, but each point costs money to build — it may be a tower or whatever you use. ... Which is why when you talk about a rural area, people talk about the cost. It’s not so much the cost of moving from point to point, it’s the cost of building the actual points. White space is supposed to be able to get from here to all the way over there, so I don’t have to build as many points. I talked to a guy from Motorola about this just a week ago. His explanation was, if we can figure out how to do it, white space would indeed be the way to go. But the big “if” is if you get people to do that, if you can get the broadcast companies to give up the space, if you can develop technology so that the individual user has a device that can access the space. ... If your true audience is only going to be some small subset of America, then the cost per device is going to be expensive. Therein lies the problem.

the infrastructure — be it wireless or wired — to facilitate local government operations. You know, I’ve got people reading meters, I got traffic lights, which is usually one of the reasons why people bring fiber in; they have sensoring devices and video surveillance gear and they’ll put in a fiber network for that. They’ll put in a wireless network so all their building inspectors can gather data and enter data from the field And the dollar-saving impact from that then goes to expand the network to the general direction of, say, businesses or a business park. Then they go and sell to the business or to the hospital access to the network. They may or may not provide any services, but what they’re selling you is the access. And then they may invite a company to come in and sell access service or sell some education application or what have you. They facilitate it. They’re building infrastructure and then they are then facilitating who comes in, like building an airport. They build the airport, digitally speaking, then they convince airplanes to come and land. Then they convince people to set up

shops and all that crazy stuff that you see at the airport. The city doesn’t run those businesses, they just give them a space in which to work and collect a fee for that, but the fee is what allows them to build all of that commercial infrastructure for all the people that come through. Q: Have you seen them do anything beyond providing Internet access, telephone service and TV connections? A: I think people are exploring options, but generally when you have those three you kind of have the backbone ... I am more of a fan, and I think most communities are more of a fan, of putting in the infrastructure and bringing in others to deal with the services. So you bring in your phone services, you bring in your medical services. In that way, the city then indeed isn’t getting into the private sector. But they are providing the infrastructure, and that becomes somewhat of a gray area. We’re at this transition where people realize that the infrastructure is infrastructure. It is that engine.
Q: That’s different from what they’re doing here. A: Like I said, four or five years ago, all this stuff was starting, more times than not your concept was you’re going to do the whole thing because you needed to do the whole thing. But even in those cases, if the network is designed to be an open network, which I understand it is here, very easily a company could come in and say “I want to provide the business service,” “I want to provide a medical health-care service.” Q: Or home security? A: Home security is a big deal. Everybody’s all about home security. So you can bring that on as long as your network is an open network. All the stimulus money went to whoever won it, whether private sector or public sector, with clearly regulated that it would be an open access network. So today is different than five years ago. And the option still exists. The same way the city has the option to expand the network by changing the technology on the endpoints of the cable, they also have the option to bring on board other service providers.

Women’s right campaigners in Egypt fear the revolution won’t bring relief from oppressive social mores.
ASSAULT FROM 1D time they felt perfectly safe, even bringing their children. Egyptian women’s rights campaigners now worry that the reprieve they experienced during the uprising was a fluke, and that their society will quickly revert to oppressive social mores that leave women vulnerable to sexual violence, with little recourse. Women in Egypt — and in many areas of the Arab world — are still afraid to report sexual assault or harassment, fearing they and their families will be stigmatized, said Medine Ebeid of Egypt’s New Woman Foundation. Only rarely do women come forward. In a widely publicized 2008 case, a woman dragged her assailant to a police station, and succeeded in sending him to jail for three years. The killing of women by male relatives for perceived violations of a strict moral code are often either covered up by the families or the assailants, if prosecuted, face light sentences. Sexual harassment remains widespread in Egypt, and even women covered up by veils and long robes in strict Islamic dress say they are not immune. A 2008 survey by the Egyptian Center for Women’s Rights found that 83 percent of Egyptian women and 98 percent of foreign women in Cairo said they had been harassed — while 62 percent of men admitted to harassing. Harassment is often the flip side of conservative mores. Men who believe women should stay out of

the public sphere tend to assume that those seen in the streets are fair game. Widespread unemployment leaves young men bored, frustrated and unable to marry. Police witnessing harassment have a history of not interfering or even joining in, going after female political activists in particular, Darwiche said. In 2005, plainclothes agents trying to break up a rally by female anti-government protests tore at their clothes and pulled their hair. A proposed law banning sexual harassment and outlining criminal punishment was never put to a vote to parliament. It’s unlikely to see any action during Egypt’s ongoing political turmoil, with parliament dissolved and elections not expected for several more months. Activist Rasha Hassan said she and others hope to harness the spirit that made Tahrir safe for a while. “We believe that when people think about a big thing, all of us collect (gather) for a main goal, our good morals return,” said Hassan, who helps run Harrasmap, a website that allows women to quickly report instances of harassment via text message or Twitter. Uploaded onto a digital map of Cairo, it shows hotspots and areas that might be dangerous for women to walk alone. Asma Barlas, an expert on women in Islamic societies at Ithaca College, said change will likely be slow because traditional attitudes run deep. “When societal images of women begin to change,” she said, “maybe things will get better.” WWW.STANXWORDS.COM

PERIOD PIECE: We’ve got something to hide by Fred Jackson III
Q: Have the municipal systems that you’ve studied branched out into selling other services or doing other things with their system to generate revenue? A: A number of cities built
It’s really all about the infrastructure. Really, technically speaking now Two or three years ago when a lot of networks that are in place started, the idea was that the city had to run the service. I think we’re at a point now where it’s optional. Not that they shouldn’t, but the infrastructure is the key part. What will happen, if I look at, say, Ontario County or I look at Cambria County in Pennsylvania ...where they built the infrastructure and then they get six, eight, 10 service providers to sell access service. So in Cambria County, Pa., in the first year of the network, all they invited were consumer service providers. They sold access services to local town government, because they bought it as a cheaper communication option. And then they brought in the service providers who were consumer focused to sell to people on the street ... and then they’re bringing in the business service providers to sell services specific for businesses. So that model reduces city risk but it maintains the city’s ability to direct all these efforts that ultimately end up improving economic development.

Q: You mentioned the importance of winning the hearts and minds of the community. How does the city do that? A. Through constant education. I spoke to one gentleman in the room (who asked) why we’re doing this fiber network that isn’t compatible with some of the technology that AT&T and Verizon have. I explained to him that those folks — Verizon and AT&T — to a large extent have older technology. ... You’ve got the future in the city’s network and you’ve got old technology with the incumbent. So the city doesn’t do itself any favors building to that because there’s no easy bridge back to that. You build for the future, because that’s where you want to go. Q: How do you educate the public about that? A: You got to go out and do town meetings, you got to do neighborhood meetings, you pass out printed material or online material. There’s a 10-county effort in Maryland where they’ve got money for the stimulus. So one of their budget items is to hold monthly awareness campaigns. When St. Cloud, Fla., built their wireless network, the 60 days before the network was turned on, they ran fullpage ads, they had brochures and that’s how they promoted it. In Philadelphia, every time they had a focus group, a community group, a town meeting, there were always materials that were passed out to explain what the city was doing, why they were doing it and pointing them to where they could go to see the actual network. That’s why I brought up the idea ... about creating an incubator. If I’ve got 20-30 people in there, these mad scientists that are creating all these ideas ... every time they test something and something works and they’ve got some new, creative idea, then that’s part of the education process, to talk about that.

Local author to read from, sign children’s book Dicy McCullough, a frequent contributor to the Salisbury Post, has written and published a children’s book, “Tired of My Bath.” She will read from and sign her book Saturday, Feb. 26, 1:30-3:30 p.m. in the children’s area of Literary Bookpost, 110 S. Main St. McCullough used the publisher Xlibris for the book, which is an 8-by-10 softcover. They asked if she had illustrations, and when she said no, MCCOLLOUGH provided an illustrator, D.M Contento, for the book. The brightly-colored drawings of John Allen, the little boy who won’t take a bath, will appeal to children — especially those of his little dog. The simple tale is told in a cute rhyme, which would make it fun to read aloud to children, and easy for the children to learn to read, too. McCullough, a published poet, is a member of a writing group, the Salisbury Scribblers. She has degrees in education and is a teacher. She dedicates the book to her husband, children and mother, and in memory of her father.
Memoir-writing workshops Into the Rose Garden, a workshop for adults in the craft of memoir-writing will be led by Jenny Hubbard, writer-in-residence at Center for Faith & the Arts, on Monday, March 21, 57 p.m. at the Center for Faith & the Arts, 207 W. Harrison St., in the lower level of Haven Lutheran Church. Perhaps you have a family story you’d like to preserve for your children or grandchildren. Maybe you’d like to explore a memory that has become fuzzy with age. You might even be on a quest for a meaningful gift. Whatever your aim, this workshop will offer guidance in how to make your history blossom on the page. Bring pen and paper. If you prefer to write on a laptop, that is fine, but this workshop will be decidedly low-tech. There is a limit of 14 participants. Questions? Call 704-647-0999 or email Sarah Hall at faithart@bellsouth.net. Hubbard’s first novel, “Paper Covers Rock,” will be published this June by Random House. A native of Salisbury and former Catawba College English instructor, Hubbard lives and writes in Asheville. Learn more about her and her work at www.papercoversrock.com. Hubbard will lead Opening the Door, a workshop for adults who are writing their memoirs on Tuesday, March 22, 10 a.m.-noon. This workshop, designed for the writer already in the process of composition, will focus on ways to help organize, condense and magnify a life on paper. This class is limited to 10 participants and also costs $10. Participants will be required to send in, ahead of time, two typed, double-spaced pages of the work in progress, which will be shared with the group. Limit is 10 participants. To reserve a spot for either class, mail a check for $10, payable to Jenny Hubbard, to Center for Faith & the Arts, PO Box 4098, Salisbury, NC 28145-4098.

Family maid sues author of best-seller ‘The Help’ JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — A black woman who once worked as a maid for a relative of novelist Kathryn Stockett is suing the author of the best-selling book “The Help,” claiming she was the basis for a black servant character who she thought depicted her in a poor light. The novel is based on relationships between white families and their African-American maids in the segregated South of the 1960s, and a driving character in the book is a woman named Aibileen. Now, a real-life woman named Ablene Cooper, who said she worked for Stockett’s brother, is claiming Stockett used her name and likeness without permission and with embarrassing results. The lawsuit was filed Feb. 9 in Hinds County Circuit Court in Jackson, Miss., where Stockett grew up. It asks for $75,000 in damages, an amount chosen to keep the litigation from ending up in federal jurisdiction, where larger actions are often decided. Cooper referred questions to her attorney when contacted Thursday. Her attorneys did not immediately respond to messages. Penguin USA publisher Amy Einhorn said she doesn’t think
there’s any basis to the lawsuit. “This is a beautifully written work of fiction and we don’t think there is any basis to the legal claims,” Einhorn said Thursday in an e-mail. The six-page lawsuit claims, among other things, that Stockett’s refusal to publicly admit that she based the character on Cooper’s likeness “is so outrageous in character, and so extreme as to go beyond all bounds of human decency, and is utterly intolerable in a civilized community.” It quotes passages from the book, including one in which Aibileen’s character describes a cockroach: “He black. Blacker than me.” The lawsuit said Cooper found it upsetting and highly offensive to be portrayed as someone “who uses this kind of language and compares her skin color to a cockroach.” “The Help” tells the story of black maids Aibileen and Minny, who work with a white woman named Skeeter on a book about their experiences as domestic help. The black characters fear retribution for working with the white woman on such a book, but Aibileen decides to help in part
because black maids are forced to use outside restrooms. Cooper’s lawsuit claims it was offensive to be portrayed as someone who must use a segregated toilet. Stockett told the Associated Press in 2009 that growing up her family had a maid named Demetrie, who used a restroom on the outside of the family’s house. Stockett said Demetrie died in the mid-1980s. “The Help” debuted in 2009, and there are 2.5 million hardcover copies in print in the U.S., according to the publisher’s website. Scenes for a movie based on the book were shot in Mississippi. The film has not yet been released.
Oddest book title LONDON (AP) — Metalwork, multicolored mutts and a Mongol warrior are in the running for Britain’s quirkiest literary award, the Diagram Prize for year’s oddest book title. The six finalists announced Friday include “8th International Friction Stir Welding Symposium Proceedings,” canine personality guide “What Color is

The prize, run by trade magazine The Bookseller, was founded in 1978. Its rules say the books must be serious and their titles not merely a gimmick. The will be decided by public vote, will be announced March 25. The award carries no cash prize, but prize administrator Philip Stone said last year’s champion, “Crocheting Adventures with Hyperbolic Planes,” saw its sales leap from half a dozen copies a week to 95 copies in the seven days after winning. “You can’t buy that kind of publicity,” he said. Other previous champions include “Bombproof Your Horse,” “Highlights in the History of Concrete” and “The Stray Shopping Carts of Eastern North America: A Guide to Field Identification.”
