Building hope for children Advocates work to create options for those with Down syndrome
U.S. weaponry cripples military, but Ghadhafi may remain in power
BY HUGH FISHER hfisher@salisburypost.com
acob Riley Usher is an endearing 3-year-old, with honest eyes and a smile that can make your day. “He’s precious,” said Ashley Mauney, his assistant teacher. Mauney was in charge of the class Friday afternoon. Jacob’s classmates at Partners In Learning, the Salisbury child care center he’s Global campaign raises a t t e n d e d awareness about since he unique individuals, 10A was a baby, had a party for him, wishing him luck. He’s going to be away from his class for a while. The adults in the room are smiling, staying positive, but they are concerned. And they are praying because Jacob will have heart surgery Tuesday at Brenner Children’s Hospital in Winston-Salem. Jacob was born with Down syndrome, a genetic condition caused when someone has 47 chromosomes instead of the usual 46. Today is World Down Syndrome Day — a day on which families and health professionals try to raise awareness of how people with this disorder can be better educated and cared for. Children with Down syndrome learn more slowly and are slower to start talking, walking and doing other things on their own. Many also have muscular and heart problems. Jacob has a hole in his heart and a malfunctioning heart valve, which the doctors at Brenner will repair using a donor heart valve and a complex technique. To see Jacob in the classroom, though, you would be hard-pressed to know Jacob was any different from the rest of the children. And that’s exactly how it ought to be. “He never ceases to amaze me,” said Linda Smith Hawkins, Jacob’s grandmother. She and husband, Tommy, have raised Jacob and his two siblings since 2008. They give Partners In Learning credit for the strides he has made. “He is so determined and he will try and try again until he accomplishes what he sets out to do,” she said. “I strongly feel this is due in part to being (at Partners In Learning) around other children and learning from them.” Children with Down syndrome and other disabilities are included in the same classrooms as typical children. “These children don’t see Jacob as being different,” Hawkins said. “He is just one of them.”

Jacob riley usher and assistant teacher Ashley Mauney read a storybook in the 3-year-old class at partners in learning, which helps teachers and caregivers develop inclusion strategies. Numerous agencies in Rowan County help provide therapy and other opportunities, Rowan Vocational Opportunities and Smart Start Rowan among them. Norma Honeycutt, executive director of Partners In Learning, said that educators, doctors and therapists have made great strides in helping people of all ages with Down syndrome find a place in the community. Honeycutt said it is awful to think that a century ago children with Down syndrome would have been institutionalized for life. Decades ago, those children were segregated into separate
classrooms at school. Today, the philosophy of inclusion is creating new opportunities for both typical children and those with Down syndrome and other learning and developmental disabilities. “The benefits for children with special needs are that it pushes them,” she said — encouraging them to model their behavior after other children. “For the typical children, it breaks down the barriers and stereotyping,” she said. “The earlier, the better.” She said that children who learn to be encouraging and accepting
of people with disabilities early in life carry those positive qualities throughout their lives. That was certainly the case in Jacob’s classroom Friday. The other 14 kids in his class shared cupcakes and juice pouches, talked and played and thanked him for the treats his grandparents had brought. It was just another day for them. And Jacob was in the middle of it all, walking around, hugging his grandmother shyly one moment, sitting on Mauney’s lap to read a storybook the next.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. on Sunday claimed initial success two days into an assault on Libya that included some of the heaviest firepower in the American arsenal — long-range bombers designed for the Cold War — but American officials said Sunday it was too early to define the international military campaign’s endgame. The top U.S. military officer suggested that Libyan strongman Moammar Gadhafi might stay in power in spite of the military assault aimed at protecting civilians, calling into question the larger objective of an end to Gadhafi’s erratic 42-year rule. Other top U.S. officials have suggested that a weakened and isolated Gadhafi could be ripe for a coup. A second wave of attacks, mainly from American fighters and bombers, targeted Libyan ground forces and air defenses, following an opening barrage Saturday of sealaunched Tomahawk cruise missiles. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said the U.S. expects to turn control of the mission over to a coalition — probably headed either by the French and British or by NATO — “in a matter of days.” Late Sunday, however, NATO’s top decision-making body failed to agree on a plan to enforce the no-fly zone over Libya, although it did approve a military plan to implement a U.N. arms embargo. At the Pentagon, Navy Vice Adm. William E. Gortney, staff director for the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told a news conference that the back-to-back assaults Saturday and Sunday had inflicted heavy damage. They largely silenced Gadhafi’s air GORTNEY defenses, blunted his army’s drive on the rebel stronghold of Benghazi and confused his forces. “We judge these strikes to have been very effective in significantly degrading the regime’s air defense capability,” Gortney said. “We believe his forces are under significant stress and suffering from both isolation and a good deal of confusion.” Gortney’s assessment suggested that further strikes on the scale of Saturday’s heavy assault with sealaunched Tomahawk cruise missiles may not be needed, although he did not rule out further attacks. Gortney said Gadhafi himself is not a target, but he could not guarantee the strongman’s safety. Inside Gadhafi’s huge Tripoli compound, an administration building was hit and badly damaged late Sunday. An Associated Press photographer at the scene said half of the

Former Spencer machinist honored for 70 years of union membership BY HUGH FISHER hfisher@salisburypost.com
At first, John Kehoe said he was surprised by what he found in the union record books. He’s the financial secretary of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers Local 263. Part of his job is to track and honor members, both active and retired, on the anniversary of their membership. And there on the roll in front of him was the name J.C. Hardister of Salisbury, a retiree from Norfolk Southern Railway. Seventy-four years ago, Hardister got his start as an apprentice machinist at the Southern Railway shops in
[|xbIAHD y0 0 1rzu
Spencer. He was one of the earliest members of the local machinist’s union lodge. And at 94, he’s still on the union’s books, a member in good standing and the oldest member on record. “We figured 70 years of service is worth celebrating,” union local President Jim Sabol said. In a weekend ceremony at Trinity Oaks Assisted Living, where Hardister lives, union members, family and friends honored his years of service to the railroad and his fellow workers. And Sabol handed Hardister his 70-year pin, one of only a handful ever presented by the IAMAW. “I tell you, the Lord’s been good to me,” Hardister said.

“I worked 42 years for the railroad.” And, Sabol said, only halfjoking, “He looks like he would put on a hard hat and go back to work Monday morning.” Hardister was based in Spencer from the time he started working in 1936 until the railroad closed down operations there in the late ’70s. Sabol, Kehoe and other union members and employees at Norfolk Southern’s roadway shop in Charlotte came to Salisbury to honor Hardister. Sabol told guests that it was an honor for him and other members of the IAMAW to know one of the men who helped the union get started. Hardister was a safety committee chairman for the
Evelyn Beaver Agner Wanda Earnhardt Brandt Glenna Fisher Brown Freida Lowery Causey
railroad in the latter part of his career. On his watch, safety became a major focus for the Norfolk Southern. For Hardister, it was personal: His father, Cleveland Hardister, was also a railroader. He was killed in an accident at the Spencer repair shop. Hardister married the former Dorothy Julian in 1938. Together, they had three children. Today, Hardister’s descendants include four grandchildren, 13 great-grandchildren and three great-great-grandchildren. hugh fisher/for the sAlisbury post One of his granddaughters, J.C. hardister, seated, holds a stamp book from the internaKim Hardister Riddle, remi-

Wilmington wonders whether to woo bikers WILMINGTON (AP) — Carolina Beach town officials will consider whether to invite motorcyclists to come visit its hotels and restaurants during Bike Week, scheduled for May in nearby Myrtle Beach, S.C. The StarNews of Wilmington reported the Town Council will vote Tuesday whether to endorse the invitations. Restaurant and bar representative Danny Swinson said the invitations would go to motorcycle clubs representing charities or those affiliated with police officers or firefighters.
Swinson said the bikers could mean big business, but some council members worry about the negative image and raucous behavior associated with motorcycle groups. Mayor Joel Macon recalled a time when bikers did visit Carolina Beach in large numbers. “The only thing I remember is that we were basically considered a rough beach,” the mayor said. “A lot of fights, people being stabbed, just a lot of trouble, a lot of roughnecks.” Macon said the town has worked hard to earn a reputation
as a family destination and he doesn’t want to jeopardize that. “There are limitations to having a good time,” he said. “We want people who are going to come down here and have fun, go out to eat, go to bars and have a drink and listen to music.” Former New Hanover County sheriff Sid Causey started his career as a Carolina Beach police officer. He said he thinks the beach’s former reputation wasn’t entirely because of the biker clubs. And Earl Woodham, spokesman for the U.S. Bureau of

In recent years, Myrtle Beach has taken steps to discourage bikers from coming to the area for their annual weeklong rallies. City officials have said there is a major increase in arrests, traffic accidents and other problems associated with the groups that have typically come to South Carolina’s main beach city in the spring.

Aging and muscle mass Q: I notice the older I get, the more muscles I seem to lose. Is that because I am a female and do I need to go heavy weights to get my strength back? A: “Just” getting older makes you lose muscle mass when you don’t lift any weights. Studies have shown that after the age of ESTER 40, most peoBURGESS ple lose about 1 percent of their muscle mass each year (yikes!) if they do not lift any weights. Of course, the obvious effect is losing strength. Fatigue sets in faster, and it is harder to do the things you once were able to do. With weakness, even walking and other activities become more difficult to do which starts the vicious cycle of not doing them at all. That, in turn, may cause balance difficulties and an increased risk of falling. Did I depress you already? I don’t mean to, but these are the facts. There is hope, of course. Many studies have shown that muscle building exercises can stop all these effects or even reverse them, no matter how old you are. In one study, they found that nursing home residents with an average age of 87 years old tripled their muscle strength after only 10 weeks of strength training and stair climbing. They also increased the size of the muscle by 10 percent. Some of them regained the ability to walk without canes and to perform tasks without assistance. I have seen this personally in my many years of being a trainer. The older and frailer a person, the more important exercise becomes. Weight lifting, according to studies, is one of the most important activities an older adult should pursue to stay healthy. When you look at all the facts, the older adults improve the most from strength training when you look at all the age groups. The American College of Medicine has revised its fitness guidelines for older adults. It recommends that adults 50 and older work out with weights two to three times a week. The National Institute of aging also recommends weight lifting and cardio exercise for the older adults. You are never too old. You do want to check with your doctor before you start any exercise program and communicate that you would like to start a strength training program. There are certain limitations with some health conditions, but I have never heard a doctor say you can not exercise. When you are ready to start check the following: • Use experienced and trained staff • Is the equipment easy to use (and adjust) • Are their classes and programs available for the older adults (we take Silver Sneakers) • How is the atmosphere? (How does it feel to you?) • How accessible are the staff members? • Are there other older adults working out there? If you have not started a strength training program I hope you start one now. Don’t wait until tomorrow because tomorrow is always one day away. Ester H Marsh ACSM Cpt

An amazing book A
Louie and Phil, the pilot. As the raft drifted in the ocean, a Japanese plane strafed them over and over, yet no one was hurt and the raft was repairable. Finally, the raft came within sight of several tropical islands, but just as the outlook seemed to brighten, a Japanese patrol boat captured the two emaciated survivors. The other crewman died just days before the capture. So began an even more brutal and unbelievable time for the American flyers. They spent two years in several prisoner of war camps. Little food, unclean water, brutal cold, hard labor and daily beatings were a constant at all of them. Louie’s status as a former Olympian made him the focus of the worst beatings. Nearly half of his body weight was lost, and tropical diseases and malnutrition eventually killed a quarter of all Pacific POWs. He was defiant throughout, ever hoping that some day he would regain his ability to run. When liberation finally came, Louie spent months recovering and gradually came back to the U.S. by way of several hospitals. He had been near death, but his physical recovery seemed complete in time to train for the 1948 Olympics. Training went well until an ankle injury from a POW beating reoccurred, and his dream was over. Louie returned home, married and had a child. But the war still raged in his head, and his alcoholism and violent behavior were destroying him. A chance encounter in Los Angeles with Evangelist Billy Graham changed his life. Louie went on to become a motivational speaker, starting his own Victory Foundation and continues to serve others. Author Hillenbrand calls “Unbroken” a World War ll story of survival, resilience and redemption. Zampernin ran as a hero in Japan while carrying the Olympic torch for the 1998 Games at age 81. He is a hero, just as are the millions of Allied servicemen and POWs who lived the story of the Second World War. Many of them never came home, many more bore emotional scars for the rest of their lives. Hillenbrand said, “Louie’s story is a lesson in the resilience of the soul and the wondrous breadth of possibility that life affords, even in our bleakest hours. We can overcome so much more than we realize, we only have to look to Louie to be reassured of this.” Zampernin plans a tour this year to promote the book at age 94. Universal has the movie rights. Hillenbrand also wrote Seabiscuit, another true story about a depression era race horse that captivated the world.
Charlotte officer shot, wounds suspect in pursuit CHARLOTTE (AP) — A Charlotte-Mecklenburg police officer has been injured during an early morning shootout with a suspect.

s much as I like to write, I know that I love to read even more. The ability to become immersed in the book, completely able to shut myself away from other things comes harder. But once in a while, that special book comes along that demands attention. I have just finDAVID ished such a FREEZE book, “Unbroken” by Laura Hillenbrand. Almost every day involves some reading for me. As with most avid readers, there are books that move me and there are others that go into my all time favorite list. This one did both, and here is a little sampling of why. Louis Zamperini was a troubled kid, more often than not involved in an act of defiance. But he loved life, though searching always for direction. He was from a close family of two sisters, a brother, and an adoring mom and dad. His older brother Pete was student body president and star athlete for his high school. Everyone wondered what was wrong with Louie. Louie made a game of stealing pies from the neighbors and running like mad. “Run Like Mad” became his motto. He started collecting keys and found that one opened the gym. He let kids into the gym for basketball games, and would “Run Like Mad.” He was already banned from athletics because of his propensity for trouble. However, his brother Pete talked the principal into letting Pete run on the track team, all the while hoping to rehabilitate him. Pete thought Louie had talent, and though it took a while, he was proven right. Louie ran with an unusual hip twist that made him appear almost effortless in his meets. Louie went on to set the scholastic mile record that stood for 17 years, and won his way into the Berlin Olympics. He competed in front of Adolph Hitler, and eventually shook hands with him. Louie also met and made friends with Jesse Owens, the man who dominated those Olympics. Since Louie was younger than most competitors, he immediately focused on the 1940 Olympics with his training. Those Olympics were cancelled because the unrest preceding World War ll was spreading throughout Europe. Louie ended up in the Army Air Force as a bombardier on B-24s. His plane and crew were squarely entrenched in the Pacific war against Japan. Their original plane was shot up on a bombing run, making it unusable. Several crews hadn’t returned, and Louie and his crew took another plane to look for the lost crews. Along the way, several malfunctions caused this plane to crash with only three survivors. Louis, the pilot and another crewman survived a water crash. What followed for these three men was the longest documented life raft survival of the war. Sharks, a blazing sun, frigid nights and little food and water didn’t deter the amazing survival of

Old man who forgot to shave needs chopped steak recently turned 60 years of age, joining many of East Rowan’s Class of 1969, who have already turned 60, or will do so this year. I guess I can officially add one of Maurice Chevalier’s songs from “Gigi” to my repertoire: “I’m Glad That I’m Not Young Anymore.” Sometimes for co-workers in the past, I have impersonated Jimmy DuMACK and sung WILLIAMS rante “September Song” to them. I guess now I’ll have to perform to the mirror. I didn’t have to work yesterday, so I skipped shaving, but instead of looking “hot” like to-
I
day’s young male stars, I just looked like an old man who forgot to shave. I think I’ll shave today on my birthday, not wanting to receive unsolicited change from passersby on the street. Oftentimes, when someone turns 100, there will be articles in the newspaper describing what technological advances were made during that person’s lifetime. Reference is often made to their seeing the advent of airplanes, television and the spread of the already-invented telephone. In the case of my 60 years, all of these things had made their advent years before, but I remember some of them in their cruder versions compared to those of today. I remember television sets
before they became skinny. With telephones, I remember when the verb “dial” was also a noun representing something turned round with the forefinger, and I also remember when telephones, most properly, remained at home. While writing this, it is close to 2 a.m. on my birthday, and I have already turned 60, having been born but a few minutes after midnight on March 5, 1951, a “midnight baby.” At the risk of sounding as if in detox, while writing I noticed something crawling slowly up the wall. Fearing that it was a spider, upon close inspection, I was delighted to discover that it was a stinkbug performing its own solitary home invasion. Feeling especially magnanimous,
and not wanting another living creature to die on my birthday, I trapped him in an empty blood pressure medication bottle and let him go outside (this also shows that I always write from life, and that truth is sometimes stranger than fiction). Yesterday, I had a tooth extracted (another one). My daughter called and said that for my birthday she would take me to Outback Steakhouse. Thinking of my most recent extraction, I asked her if they serve a chopped steak. If they don’t, I’ll bring a blender. When an elephant’s molars give out, he dies, since he doesn’t have the option of dentures or Progresso. My father passed away just three months after his 60th birth-
day, in November of 1966. When I look in the mirror now, I seem to look younger than I remember him looking at this age, but that is probably just a case of wishful thinking, a case of the subjective having its influence over the objective. I remember his funeral at Summersetts (what a peacefully descriptive word for a place, but in actuality, it is a proper noun instead of an adjective). People said that he had died “young.” As with other people of my age, my years sometimes seem like a lengthy time to me, but at other times not so long, especially when I am left with a haunting feeling as to the seeming shortness of that same number of years when it was in my father’s possession.
Woman improving after being ejected from car CHINA GROVE — An Alabama woman who was airlifted to the hospital when the SUV she was a passenger in overturned was in fair condition on Sunday, hospital officials said. Maria Elana Dominguez, 25, was ejected from a Ford Explorer after it overturned twice at the U.S. 29 ramp over the Interstate 85 bridge about 6:30 p.m. Saturday. She was in critical condition, but has been upgraded to fair condition. She remains at Carolinas
Medical Center in Charlotte. The driver, Juan Antonio Rodriguez, 37, was taken by ambulance to Carolinas Medical Center NorthEast in Concord with three broken ribs and a collapsed lung, said Trooper K.G. Barringer. Barringer said speed and alcohol were factors in the single-vehicle collision. Rodriguez was charged with driving while impaired, careless and reckless driving, failure to wear seatbelt, no operator’s license and open container after consuming. “Rodriguez was traveling N.C. 152 toward U.S. 29 and
exited onto the ramp that takes you to the section of 29 back toward I-85 north,” Barringer said. He lost control, struck the curb, rolled twice and the SUV came to rest on the passenger’s side facing east, he said. The driver was traveling an estimated 70 mph in a 45 mph zone. Both Rodriguez and Dominguez are from Alabama and were in North Carolina visiting his sister. Contact reporter Shavonne Potts at 704-797-4253. R130283

Livestock producers should beware of grass tetany s Spring is “springing” all around us, there are several items for livestock producers to be reminded of. Grass tetany, sometimes called grass staggers, wheat pasture poisoning, lactation tetany and hypomagnesemia, usually ocBRAD curs when JOHNSON animals, primarily ruminants, are grazing lush pastures in the spring, according to information from New Mexico State University. Grass tetany can also occur in the fall and winter, but much less frequently. Lactating, older cows are the most susceptible. Grass tetany is a worldwide problem with sporadic and unpredictable occurrence for any given area. Grass tetany is caused by a deficiency of serum magnesium, frequently accompanied by a less-marked decrease in serum calcium. Clinical signs are often not observed and the only evidence is a dead cow. Animals affected by acute grass tetany may suddenly stop grazing, appear discomforted and show unusual alertness, such as staring and keeping their heads and ears in erect positions. Also, they may stagger; have twitching skin, especially on the face, ears, and flanks; and lie down and get up frequently.
A
Animals get grass tetany most often while grazing cool-season grasses or small grain pastures in spring or fall. Rapidly growing, lush grasses are most dangerous. Grass tetany also occurs when livestock are wintered on low magnesium grass hay or corn stover. It is not usually a problem on legume pastures on in animals wintered on legume hay. Cattle in the early stages of grass tetany should be handled gently, producing the least stress and exertion possible. Early treatment by, or on the advice of, a veterinarian is very important. In general, to prevent grass tetany, applying magnesium fertilizer and dolomitic limestone to the soil may increase the magnesium concentration in plants. Local recommendations should be obtained before fertilization. Also, animals can be fed high magnesium mineral, available as a block, mineral salt mixture, or added to a protein supplement. The majority of cattle producers offer high magnesium mineral to their stock. I’ve seen quite a few cattle around the countryside with bald spots, usually a good indicator of lice and it’s that general time of year. According to information from the University of Nebraska, the USDA estimates that U.S. livestock producers lose $125 million per year to cattle lice. Heavy lice populations
cause lowered milk production, loss of flesh, stunted growth, general unthriftiness and anemia. University of Nebraska studies and studies of others indicate that moderate to heavy lice populations may reduce weight gains of calves by as much as 0.21 pounds per day. The life cycle of all lice is similar. Lice are host specific and spend all their lives on the animal. Eggs (nits) are deposited on the hairs of cattle. The life cycle from egg to adult is from three to four weeks during cold weather. Reproduction slows dramatically in warm weather. In the summer, lice generally can be found only in the folds of skin between the legs and body of cattle. In the winter, as populations increase, lice move around the body, often the back, sides, and tailhead. There are many specific insecticides recommended for lice control. Read, understand, and comply with insecticide labels when treating livestock. Examine treated livestock after about 14 days regardless of treatment method to determine if a second or continued treatment is necessary. Most insecticides are not effective against eggs, so lice hatched after treatment may re-infest the animal. Enjoy the spring weather. Brad Johnson is a N.C. Cooperative Extension Agent
Holocaust survivor to speak at Rowan-Cabarrus Tuesday Susan Cernyak-Spatz, a Holocaust survivor, will share her life experiences on Tuesday with an American Literature-American History class at Rowan-Cabarrus Community College.

North Carolina forest fire destroys 2 houses, 3 mobile homes FAYETTEVILLE (AP) — Two houses and three mobile homes were destroyed as a forest fire burned about 60 acres north of Fayetteville. The Fayetteville Observer reported that Saturday’s blaze started near Fort Bragg and burned a cluster of homes among a stand of pine trees.
North Carolina Forest Service ranger Andrew Snyder says 10 structures were threatened by flames and some folks were evacuated. No one was injured. The cause of the fire is under investigation. Snyder said whatever the starting point, the fire was fanned by low hu-
midity and winds of 10 to 15 mph in the early afternoon. Cumberland County Emergency Services deputy director Tim Mitchell says a couple of other smaller brush fires started in the same area over the afternoon, but no structures burned in those blazes.

Bright Ideas grants available for 2011-12 school year 12 school year. Teachers can learn more about the program, find the application and an explanation about the process online at www. ncbrightideas.com. Interested educators can apply online beginning Friday, April 1. The electric cooperatives’ Bright Ideas program is the only one of its kind in the state exclusively for K-12 teachers who otherwise would lack the funds to implement these special class-
room-based projects. Grants of up to $2,000 are available through EnergyUnited. The deadline for teachers to submit an application is Friday, Sept. 23. Teachers who submit their application by the early-bird deadline on Monday, Aug. 15 will be entered in a drawing for a $500 Visa gift card. Last year, EnergyUnited granted nearly $39,000 to 25 classroom teachers throughout the 19-county North Car-
Records show agents improperly used database RALEIGH (AP) — Two high-ranking state police agents violated policy by accessing state and federal criminal databases for personal reasons, The News & Observer of Raleigh reported Sunday. The newspaper said audits of database usage it obtained through the state’s open records law showed improper access of the Division of Criminal Information network. “Abusing the system is a gross misuse of power and position,” said Frank Perry, a retired FBI agent. “It is publicly owned information and misuse would get an FBI agent fired on the first offense.” Records show one man at the SBI conducted searches on his ex-wife, her new husband, her co-workers and the wife of another SBI agent, among others. The agent lost his access to the network in February 2009 and retired month later, SBI Director Greg McLeod said. Records show another SBI agent used it to track a case involving her stepson through the courts. She apparently has not been disciplined. McLeod said the SBI couldn’t find any record of the female agent’s use of the network and he had heard nothing about it until he was contacted by the newspaper last week. The database is supposed to be used by officers in the field, in potentially dangerous
situations, such as traffic stops or serving warrants, to let them know what kind of record the person they are dealing with has. It includes information from municipal, state and federal courts as well as driver’s license records. Records show that local officers have been fired for improperly accessing the database. In one case, SBI auditors in March 2007 said they found the Alamance County Sheriff’s Office in compliance. But six weeks later, an FBI auditor found that a domestic violence coordinator had accessed the records of an inmate who was a friend of hers and gave him the report. Her supervisor, who had also accessed the system for personal reasons, said she would take care of it. Both women were fired. “You don’t use DCI information for personal reasons,” Alamance Sheriff Terry Johnson said. “I had no problem sending them packing.” McLeod said he thinks his agency’s auditors were doing a good job of finding misuse of the system and were performing about as well as other states. “There’s always room for improvement,” he said. One issue is that an advisory board led by an SBI representative is supposed to meet twice year. McLeod said Friday it had not met since 1997.
The SBI has been under scrutiny for the past year after questions were raised about mistakes by its crime lab that have led to people being exonerated years after their convictions.

Mary says home equity loans aren’t what you think equity loan to pay their $15,000 of credit card debt. If they were to shift that debt to a $15,000 HEL at 7.25 percent, it would cost them $9,647 in interest and take 15 years to repay. Using my Rapid DebtRepayment Plan (see http://www.DebtProofLiving.com), they would be on track to repay the same amount of debt in just 37 months, costing them less than $1,500 in interest. • Spending your next down payment. Statistics say you will live in your home for about seven years. The equity in your home is the down payment on your next home. If you start nibbling away at it to pay for a wedding, a fancy vacation or college tuition (common reasons for HELs), you may be reducing or elim-
inating your relocation options. • You could find yourself underwater. Borrowing against home equity could put you in a precarious position if the real estate market should go through another devaluation. If your mortgage plus your HEL exceeds the market value, you may find yourself stuck with a home you cannot afford but cannot sell, either. • You could lose it. People who use home equity loans tend to do it again and again and again. They never figure out how to manage their money and learn the hard way that the penalty for falling behind on equity payments is foreclosure. When it comes to home equity, here’s the best advice: Watch it, but keep your hands
off. Years from now when you make the final mortgage payment and your home is all yours, you’ll be thankful you decided to think for yourself and away from an HEL. Mary Hunt is the founder of www.DebtProofLiving.com and author of 18 books, including her best-selling classic “Debt-Proof Living.” You

Paying off credit card debt feels righteous, but you only are moving your debt around. Soon the old feelings of entitlement will surface, and before you know it, the cards are maxed out again. But now you have the loan, too. • It can be costly. That lower-interest home equity loan could easily end up costing more than the higher-interest credit card debt if you spread it over 15 years rather than use the current payment schedule you have with your creditors. Recently, I compared that very thing for a couple considering a home

Dear Worried Mother: You say you didn’t notice your son’s addiction until he hit “rock bottom.” That’s a lot not to notice. Your reluctance to communicate your own questions or anxieties might have been a factor in your family’s experience with addiction when your son was young. He seems to have changed. Now you should see if you can follow his example and try to change too. If you are worried, share your worry with your son. Be

Dear Disgusted!: You may not be able to stop this madness. But it sure would be nice if you could limit your exposure to it. When dealing with disgusting bosses, it is best to present the issue as your own silly little sensitivity. If there is a door on your office (or his), you say, “Hey boss — mind if I close this door? I can hear you snacking, and it’s distracting.” If you don’t have a door to close, I suggest earplugs. Actually, one earplug in the ear closest to the noise might muffle the noise enough to solve this problem. The hazard here is that you will then be left with the amplified sound of your own masticating.

The boss is constantly eating, whether it is hard candy or pretzels or some other noisy confection. He slurps and chews and makes the most disgusting noises, which disrupts my fellow coworkers and me. Should we get earplugs? What can we say to him to make this madness stop? — Disgusted!

open in ways that you want for him to be open. There is no one answer for every addict. Your son may believe he can responsibly and safely sample wine on rare occasions. He may be right; he may be wrong. But while his addiction is his disease to manage, it affects the whole family. Talk to him. Share your observation. Tell him you’re worried he may be relapsing.
Ê
Dear Amy: Our son was an addict (drugs and alcohol) for many years, starting in high school. We never suspected his problem until he hit rock bottom. Through counseling, support and prayers from his family, he has beaten ASK his habit and AMY seems normal and happy. He’s in his early 30s and has held a good, prestigious job for 10 years now. When he visits us he is always his old self — an outgoing, funny, loving young man. We live several hours away from him. In his last visit he went with us to a reception where wine samples and crackers were offered. He has never been tempted to try liquor (at least not in our presence), but this time I saw him sampling some wine. He seemed very casual while doing it and was talking to other people. I have always heard that a recovering addict can never tempt him/herself with even a little taste of alcohol, and I’ve been worrying about this ever since the incident happened. When he visits us, he insists it’s OK for us to have a glass of wine with dinner if we so desire. We rarely do. He only drinks soft drinks around us. Am I worrying needlessly? Should I bring this up to my son or husband or let it go in the hope that he’s not in danger of going back onto a road long abandoned? Thank you for any advice. — Worried Mother in Texas

Thinking of dipping into your home’s equity? There are a few things you should know. • Equity is a concept, not a savings account. Equity, the difference between what you owe on your home and the amount you could sell it MARY for now, is a HUNT number. It is a theory; it is not cash in a savings account. Equity does not become cash until you sell the house and give up possession. In the meantime, a home equity loan means you agree to make payments that are mostly in-

BY MICHELLE CONDRA-PECK During elementary school, I would get off the school bus and go to my grandparent's house. Our driveway was an extension of theirs so we saw them every day. My Papa would always be sitting in his rocking chair by the big picture window watching for us and reading his newspaper. My Nana always had a cold glass of fresh milk and a peanut butter and jelly sandwich waiting on me. I would curl up in the big recliner in the corner of the living room and eat my sandwich while watching cartoons. During junior high I didn’t stop there as much after school because my parents made me work more to help out around the house and the farm. Also, I was going through that teenage angst where everyone got on my nerves by talking to me. Oh, the drama! My sisters and I would go back and forth between my grandparent’s house and our house so much that we had worn a path. The path veered off my grandparent’s sidewalk and diagonally across their yard. It ran past the huge boxwood and approached the giant black walnut tree. There, it made a sharp left and ran across the crest of a hill along the edge of the garden. Walking through the garden

I knew that one which they sprang. night something was going to jump out and grab me as I ran past. The trip home after dark required some preparation. First, we would call our parents to be sure the porch light was on. Then we would make sure all the outside lights were on at our grandparent’s house. I would always start down the path with trepidation... barely trotting along. As I reached the tree I would slow down and screw up my courage. I would listen for the sounds of anything lying in wait for me. Then I would bolt for my parent’s house. I ran like the devil was on my heels. Of course, when my sisters were with me or friends were with me I was completely nonchalant, but secretly terrified. I would pretend the tree was not the haven of some hideous, flesh eating monster who liked to clean between his teeth with the bones of small children.
As I got older, the tree began to lose its mystery. Now, my mother lives in the house where my grandparents lived. My younger sister, her husband and their two kids live in the house I grew up in. I’m happy to report that there is still a path between my sister’s house and my mother’s house. The black walnut tree is still there and still alive. We picnic under the tree and the kids have walnut wars just like we did when we were growing up. The path no longer runs past the big walnut tree though. I wonder why?

DOWN FROM 1a But, Honeycutt said, there’s still a lot to be overcome in the world outside their playground and classrooms. First of all, those stereotypes that young kids at Partners In Learning may never learn are still out there among other children and adults. Left unchecked, they lead to bullying and harassment. Honeycutt said language has power in this situation. The children without disabilities aren’t “normal” kids. They are “typical children.” And Deborah Howell, assistant director of Partners In Learning, gets angry when she hears a person describe something, or someone, as “retarded.” “That word is not used in my house,” Howell said. “It shouldn’t be used anywhere.” For parents of children with Down syndrome, Howell said, learning about their baby’s condition is easier than with some types of disabilities. There are clear signs of the condition at birth, enabling them to get help right away. But beyond understanding the medical challenges lies the challenge of raising that child in the years ahead.
HONOR FROM 1a nisced about going to Spencer with her grandfather and playing on one of the locomotives. “There are a lot of old railroad stories, and he loves to share them,” Riddle said. “We have this lovely man who spoiled us extremely rotten.” In addition to his years of service to Norfolk Southern, Hardister also had a part in Rowan County history. He was one of the first local men drafted for service in World War II. Hardister told the story of how he went back to work after lunch and found a Salis-
Howell said many child care centers aren’t equipped to deal with kids who, at age 4 or 5, still require the care given to toddlers. “There are a variety of challenges,” said Katherine Generaux, community inclusion director. Her job is to work with organizations in the community to train teachers and caregivers, helping them give kids with disabilities the support they need. “Some facilities are better equipped, and their personnel are better trained,” Generaux said. Some child care centers say they simply can’t take on children with Down syndrome, Howell said. “They walk later. They talk later. They’re potty trained later,” Howell said. Generaux goes into the community to try to develop strategies for including children with disabilities, for making those care and educational options available. Honeycutt said Partners In Learning provides avenues to a lot of the services that kids with disabilities might need. Down the hall from her office, kids’ books line shelves in the center’s library. Also on those shelves are books and resources for parents and caregivers, including books on Down syndrome. “We’ll do whatever it takes
to be able to meet a child’s needs,” she said. But it takes time to help parents faced with these needs to adjust. And there are still challenges in getting some caregivers and educators to adopt inclusive strategies. “It’s the facilities and, I’ve got to say it, the attitudes,” Honeycutt said. “It is the attitude of ‘We can make this work’ versus the attitude of ‘I don’t need the extra work,’ ” she said. Beyond that, there is another serious challenge faced by Partners In Learning and similar agencies: funding. It takes money to train teachers, money to provide equipment like changing tables, money to hire and retain therapists. “Some of the Smart Start money we get covers teacher salaries and benefits,” Honeycutt said. And teachers are not well paid compared to other professions, and they work long hours. Fewer teachers would mean less assistance in developing ways to keep kids like Jacob in regular classrooms, and less help giving teachers the support they need to make that work. “We try to level the playing ground,” Honeycutt said. “We want them to get the best possible care.” But the economy is just an-

Barbara Hardister Mitchell was married to Hardister’s son, the late Jay Hardister. “(J.C.) is my father-in-law, and always will be,” she said. She told of how she and Jay used to meet the elder Hardister when J.C. was traveling back and forth to Atlanta on railroad business. “He’s the epitome of a great man,” Mitchell said. In addition to his pin and a certificate honoring his years of membership, Sabol and other members gave Hardister gifts from Norfolk Southern and the union.
They also invited him to come and visit the workers at the Charlotte roadway shop — carrying on the work that Hardister himself used to do. Kehoe said that the current economy has left many workers in low spirits. He said that’s why the union wanted to be sure to honor Hardister, whose years of service exemplify dedication. For Hardister himself, the afternoon meant smiles and warm memories of those years working for the railroad. “I didn’t realize what a wonderful time I had until after I retired,” he said.

other factor making that harder to do. Still, Honeycutt said, helping children with Down syndrome at an early age is a necessity.“Remediation (later in life) is valuable, but by then they’ve lost their potential,” Honeycutt said. Not just the potential to learn more quickly, but perhaps even the potential for kids like Jacob to be able to go further in education, to have a job, to be self-sufficient. And that’s a big concern for Linda and Tommy Hawkins. Outside of the classroom where Jacob is celebrating his good-luck party, his grandmother said she knows she won’t always be there for him. “He’s wonderful,” she said. “He’s grown so much, he’s come so far.” Contact Hugh Fisher via the editor’s desk at 704-7974244.

U.S. missiles and warplanes were clearly in the lead Saturday and Sunday, but Gates said the plan remains for the U.S. to step back once the threat from the Libyan military is reduced. “We agreed to use our unique capabilities and the breadth of those capabilities at the front of this process, and then we expected in a matter of days to be able to turn over the primary responsibility to others,” Gates told reporters traveling with him to Russia. “We will continue to support the coalition, we will be a member of the coalition, we will have a military role in the coalition, but we will not have the preeminent role.”

Salisbury Post “The truth shall make you free”
A day to celebrate some unique individuals BY JILL WAGONER For the Salisbury Post
oday we celebrate World Down Syndrome Day. How many people can that possibly affect, you may ask? Actually, about one out of every 800 babies born. On March 21, Down syndrome organizations throughout the world participate in events to raise public awareness. The date was chosen to signify the uniqueness of Down syndrome in the triplication of the 21st (trisomy) chromosome. Today we celebrate those individuals born with an extra chromosome, or “designer genes,” as some parents like to say. We celebrate the fact that they are more like their peers than they are different from them. Down syndrome is not a reason to pity or feel uncomfortable around a person or family. A person with Down syndrome typically has some delays in the areas of gross and fine motor skills, speech and cognitive development; however, just like all of us, capabilities
T
and skills vary from person to person. Today we take time to create awareness about the fact that these individuals are really not that different from you or me. Babies with Down syndrome need to be fed, changed, held and loved. Toddlers with Down syndrome enjoy playing and go through their “terrible twos.” Children with Down syndrome ride bikes, go to school and participate in Scouts, dance and sports. Adolescents with Down syndrome rebel against their parents and have raging hormones. Teenagers with Down syndrome go to high school and begin determining their future path, be that vocational school, a job or, for some, college. Adults with Down syndrome have careers, participate in religious communities, fall in love, get married and live
long, happy lives. So today we celebrate. We celebrate my son, who is a vibrant, red-headed toddler with almond-shaped blue eyes filled with curiosity, hope and determination. Like the other children in his class, he likes bubbles, swimming, pulling his socks off, and a long list of typical toddler activities of mischief. Today we celebrate the members of our community who have Down syndrome, but who also have dreams, interests, jobs, family and friends. We also celebrate the organizations that serve and support these individuals. Organizations like Smart Start Rowan, which funds and supports early intervention programs; Partners in Learning Child Development & Family Resource Center, which houses an inclusive program for chil-
dren with special needs and provides therapy services to children in our community; and the Child Development Service Agency, which provides family support and services to developmentally delayed children ages birth to 3. We celebrate special education teachers all over Rowan County who are caring and creative. We celebrate the ARC of Rowan, which provides programming and services to individuals and families, and Rowan Vocational Opportunities, which provides a program for individuals to develop job and life skills that will lead to employment within the community. The clinical literature and attitudes of yesterday about Down syndrome are fading, and emerging is a new day where unique individuality is valued and people understand that individuals with Down syndrome are valuable members of schools, work forces and the community at large. In my experience, when you talk to a family with a loved one with Down syndrome they will tell you
Jill and Price Wagoner live in Salisbury with their 18-monthold son, Cooper, who has Down syndrome and attends Partners in Learning Child Development & Family Resource Center. Visit their blog at www.coopieinc.blogspot.com. they have no regrets. Their journey has been richer, the color palette on the horizon somehow more brilliant than those whose lives have not been touched by such an experience. For me, thus far in our 18-month journey, I have
learned that true faith does not disappoint, love never fails and to take nothing for granted. So today I celebrate my son, Cooper, and all people with Down syndrome, and I ask you to celebrate with us today and every day.

LETTERS No wonder governments are in such bad shape No wonder our government is broke! I was shocked and saddened when I saw what our government employees are being paid. There is a fundamental error in your argument that, if other counties are paying people this amount, then we have to as well to compete. The fallacy is simply this. State and local governments should not be in competition against each other. I am an American, and I am not in competition against people in Tennessee, or Cabarrus county for that matter. What binds us together is the fact that we are all Americans. It is not the government’s job to take my tax dollars and compete against other Americans by saying that we must pay government employees more money to get the most qualified workers. This practice is reserved for the private sector by definition. The result of this is the robbing the taxpayers of this county, as well as this country, because other people are doing it. You can never justify bad behavior by other bad behavior. How can you justify these salaries paid to government employees, with first-class benefit packages, while the the taxpayers are struggling just to find work and merely survive in this economy? I know of no private employee who enjoys benefits anywhere equivalent to what government employees receive. What is wrong with this picture? Just look at Wisconsin. Once you open the can of worms that governments should compete against each other, whether they be state, county, or local, you have gone down a slippery slope that leads to destruction. The casualty of the mistake is the taxpayers of this country. If Rowan County wants to compete for people by offering them taxpayer money in larger and larger amounts,

eynolds Price would not like what the 2010 census shows about North Carolina. The great writer and Duke professor, who died in January, had a thing about our state’s small towns. His last book, “Ardent Spirits,” was a memoir of his time as a Rhodes Scholar in England and his early teaching years at Duke. Even far away from his growing up years in Macon, a town in rural Warren County, he reached back D.G. there to help MARTIN define who he was and to give him the setting for his first and bestknown novel, “A Long and Happy Life,” published in 1962. The new census numbers show that North Carolina’s urban counties are eating up the rural counties that surround them. Formerly rural Union County has traded its smalltown character for intense suburban developments that make it indistinguishable from adjoining Mecklenburg. Much of Johnston County now looks like the Wake County suburbs of Raleigh. Price got me thinking about the importance of small towns back in 1989 when he gave a talk about the importance of memories to good writing. Memories develop alongside the connections of extended families and stable surrounding communities. He brought home his point by saying, “That couldn’t happen if you moved every three years.” Here is what I wrote in response: “Our memories are our treasures. They are who we are. Looking backwards, some of us see our parents, brothers, sisters, grandparents, cousins, long time friends, teachers, preachers and the places we knew them — home, church, school, stores and fields. Those people and places of growing up define us. They are our anchors. They are our foundations. They are our roots. At least they are if we have those memories— if we remember where we grew up.” But fewer and fewer of us know where we are from. The average American moves
every three years. You can’t let your roots grow too deep if you move that often. If you move every three years and live in a new neighborhood where everybody else is new, Price said, you are not going to have the same kind of memories as those who grew up in one place. Does it make a difference? I think it does. I can’t prove it, but look around at the people who are making a difference in North Carolina — the best business leaders, our best political leaders, our best teachers and writers. Don’t a disproportionate number of them come from small towns and farms? What explains their success in the development of leaders for the rest of us? Some big city snobs would say that these leaders have had to overcome their culturally deprived backgrounds. Look at the small towns, they say, and see nothing happening, backward schools, no theaters, no big libraries, no big time sports. Nothing there? Nothing but the stable nurturing that creates the self- defining memories that Reynolds Price talked about. North Carolina’s small towns and rural communities are the state’s “people estuaries.” Estuaries are those protected brackish waters along our coast, which, with the marshes, swamps and backwaters, are the most efficient producers of food in the state. They are a critical link in our food chain. We often think of those areas as underdeveloped swamps. But they are irreplaceable treasures where the richness and stability of life make for one of the earth’s most productive ecosystems. Reynolds Price was right. Those nurturing memories that the small towns make possible are important in giving people a sense of who they are. People who have a sense of who they are become better equipped to lead, which may explain why small towns are so successful in producing so many of North Carolina leaders. These small towns are our "people estuaries.” • • • D.G.

NEW YORK (AP) — AT&T Inc. said Sunday it will buy TMobile USA from Deutsche Telekom AG in a cash-andstock deal valued at $39 billion that would make it the largest cellphone company in the U.S. The deal would reduce the number of wireless carriers with national coverage from four to three, and is sure to face close regulatory scrutiny. It also removes a potential partner for Sprint Nextel Corp., the struggling No. 3 carrier, which had been in talks to combine with T-Mobile USA, according to Wall Street Journal reports. AT&T is now the country’s second-largest wireless carrier and T-Mobile USA is the fourth largest. The acquisition would give AT&T 129 million subscribers, vaulting it past Verizon Wireless’ 102 million. The combined company would serve about 43 percent of U.S. cellphones. For T-Mobile USA’s 33.7 million subscribers, the news doesn’t immediately change anything. Because of the long regulatory process, AT&T expects the acquisition to take a year to close. But when and if it closes, T-Mobile USA customers would get access to
More online sales could be taxed however, because most e-commerce sales are from one business to another. The tax revenue would only be one plug in the states’ budget holes. The total gap is expected to reach $112 billion in the fiscal year that begins in July, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a policy-research organization. The states are getting extra prodding from brick-andmortar retailers, which have long thought it unfair that online retailers could essentially give customers better deals by not collecting sales taxes. Online retailers such as Amazon.com and Overstock.com Inc. disagree with the states’ actions, and they’re fighting back. After Illinois passed its law, Amazon and Overstock said they would dump their affiliates in that state — Amazon on April 15, and Overstock on May 1. Online retailers earlier dropped affiliates in several states that are now requiring them to collect taxes. Rebecca Madigan, executive director of California-based Performance Marketing Association, said those affiliates then saw 25 percent to 30 percent declines in revenue. The strategy of cutting off affiliates might also backfire against Amazon and its competitors online. Bricks-and-mortar retailers such as Walmart and Barnes & Noble Inc. have been recruiting affiliates being abandoned by Amazon and others. That means sales could go to these companies instead.
Woman charged in fatal fire at day care returns to US HOUSTON (AP) — A woman accused of fleeing the country after a fire at her Texas day care center killed four children began her trip back to the United States on Sunday to face manslaughter and other charges, a congresswoman said. Jessica Tata, 22, departed Lagos, Nigeria, Sunday and officials hoped she would be back in Houston within 24 hours, U.S. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee of Houston said in a statement issued Sunday. Authorities believe Tata fled to Nigeria two days after a Feb. 24 fire at her home day care center in Houston killed four children and hurt three others. Tata has been charged with manslaughter, injury to a child and child abandonment amid accusations that she left the youngsters alone at her home day care center while she shopped at a nearby store. Authorities believe the fire was ignited by a stove top burner that had been left on. “I thank Ms. Tata and her family for coming together and helping her to make the right decision,” Lee, D-Texas, said. “I am glad she decided to make the right decision, which is to return to this country of which she is a citizen in order to face the charges against her.”
The U.S. Marshals Service declined to provide details of the fugitive’s return itinerary. “It is the policy of the U.S. Marshals to not comment on prisoner movements until they are complete,” said spokesman Jeff Carter. Fire investigators have said they received a tip that Tata, a Nigerian-born U.S. citizen, had relatives in Nigeria and might flee. In her Sunday statement, Lee expressed thanks to the U.S. Embassy in Nigeria. “I want to emphasize that all of the U.S. officials, including the State Department, were continuously attentive to this matter,” she said. “I am also expressing my appreciation to the cooperative Nigerian officials.” A person answering a telephone call to Ron Tata of Houston, Jessica Tata’s brother, hung up Sunday. However, the brother said Saturday that relatives in Nigeria had informed him early that day that his sister had turned herself in to the U.S. Consulate. “She just felt really, really, really bad about the whole situation, especially for the families. It would be the right thing to do,” he said. Donna Hawkins, spokeswoman for the Harris County District Attorney’s Office, declined to comment on Tata’s
return. News of Tata’s return was bittersweet to Emmanuel Kajoh of the Houston suburb of Cypress, whose daughter Elizabeth died in the fire. “I buried my daughter and I want to move on,” he said. Tata’s return “will not bring back my daughter. I’m moving on, trying to heal the wound, and that’s why I don’t really want to talk much about it. The U.S. Marshals Service, which was leading the search for Tata, had put the woman on its list of the 15 most wanted fugitives and offered a reward of up to $25,000. The Marshals Service offered no indication Sunday of whether the reward had been claimed or would be paid. Interpol, the international police agency, also had alerted its member countries, including Nigeria, that she was being sought by the United States.

have no traditional operations there. States backing these laws argue that a retailer has a physical presence when it uses affiliates — people and businesses that refer customers to the retailer’s website and collect a commission on sales. These affiliates range from one-person blogs promoting the latest gadgets to companies that run coupon and deal sites. Illinois passed a law this month requiring Internet companies with affiliates in that state to collect taxes on sales to Illinois customers. In Vermont and Arkansas, similar bills scored initial legislative victories in recent weeks. New York, North Carolina and Rhode Island have already adopted similar laws. In Colorado, a law requires online retailers to either collect the tax or send customers an annual notice letting them know how much they owe their state. Retailers would also have to report that to Colorado officials. Several other states including Arizona, Massachusetts and California are considering passing their own flavor of online sales tax collection legislation. California lawmakers had passed a bill in 2009, but the governor vetoed it. It’s not known exactly how much in uncollected taxes is due to states from online sales, but a 2009 study from the University of Tennessee estimated that it could total $10.14 billion this year, assuming total e-commerce sales of $3.49 trillion. Only a fraction of this owed tax would result from consumer purchases,

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Tax-free shopping is under threat for many online shoppers as states, including North Carolina, facing widening budget gaps increasingly pressure Amazon.com Inc. and other Internet retailers to start collecting sales taxes from their residents. Billions of dollars are at stake as a growing number of states look for ways to generate more revenue without violating a 1992 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that prohibits a state from forcing businesses to collect sales taxes unless the business has a physical presence, such as a store, in that state. States are trying to get around that restriction by passing laws that broaden the definition of a physical presence. Retailers are resisting being deputized as tax collectors. Until recently, the Supreme Court ruling has meant that Wal-Mart Stores Inc., based in Bentonville, Ark., would collect taxes from shoppers in all states with sales taxes, whether those shoppers buy items on or off the Web, because it has stores nationwide. But Amazon, based in Seattle, wouldn’t collect taxes from Floridians because it doesn’t have a presence there. Although in such cases, shoppers in Florida are supposed to pay the tax directly to their state, few actually do. With the new laws, those living in Evanston, Ill., or Providence, R.I., can no longer expect to avoid paying taxes when shopping online even though Amazon and others

Fear grows as more food contamination found in Japan
Yemen’s president suffers setback SANAA, Yemen (AP) — The U.S.-backed president of Yemen suffered a devastating political blow on Sunday when his own powerful tribe demanded his resignation, joining religious leaders, young people and the country’s traditional opposition in calls for an end to his three decades in power. Massive crowds flooded cities and towns around the impoverished and volatile nation, screaming in grief and anger as they mourned dozens of protesters killed Friday when President Ali Abdullah Saleh’s security forces opened fire from rooftops on a demonstration in the capital. Experts said that Saleh, who has cooperated closely with U.S. military operations against his country’s branch of al-Qaida, had lost the support of every major power base in Yemen except the military. Many said he would now be forced to choose between stepping down and confronting demonstrators with even deadlier force.
Egyptians vote for constitutional change CAIRO (AP) — Egyptian voters overwhelmingly approved changes in the constitution, opening the way for parliamentary and presidential elections within months, according to final results from a landmark referendum announced Sunday. Opponents fear the swift timetable could boost the fundamentalist Muslim Brotherhood and members of the former ruling party. The Brotherhood had campaigned heavily for a “yes” vote in the referendum. Critics say that since it and the former ruling party are the best organized political forces in the country, they stand to gain the most in an early election — which will bring in Egypt’s first democratically elected government to replace the regime of ousted President Hosni Mubarak. The results are likely to open a frenzied campaign season, with liberal pro-democracy forces scrambling to put together political parties to contest the upcoming races. Shady Ghazali, one of the organizers of the protests that forced Mubarak out after 18 days, said the youth coalition that led the demonstrations is discussing putting forward a national list of candidates for the parliamentary elections under its name. The parliamentary and presidential elections are key because the next legislature and government are to lead the process of wider change, including likely drawing up a new constitution. Many of those who led the wave of popular protests that ousted Mubarak on Feb. 11 want a radically new document that would break the total hold that the presidency held over gov-
ernment during Mubarak’s rule. They worry that the Brotherhood or former ruling party could dominate the process.
Obama touts Brazil as democratic model RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Immersing himself in Brazil’s poverty and pride, President Barack Obama on Sunday held up the South American nation as a model of democratic change in a time of uprisings and crackdowns across the Arab world and yet another war front for the United States. From Rio’s glamorous beaches to a notorious slum to an elegant theater, Obama glimpsed the city’s cultural extremes and offered the kind of personal engagement that can pay political dividends for years. Less than one day after announcing U.S. military strikes against Libya’s government, Obama made time to kick a soccer ball around with kids in a shantytown. The competing stories of Obama’s itinerary — a war front in Africa, an economic commitment to South America — divided his time in incongruous ways. By morning, he spoke with his security team about the international assault against Moammar Gadhafi’s defenses; by night, he was to stand atop a mountain and admire Rio’s world famous statue of Jesus. Meanwhile, U.S. warplanes pounded faraway Libya. It was all summed up by one image: Obama, adeptly juggling a soccer ball, as his aides helped him juggle his agenda.

But Taiwan seized a batch of fava beans from Japan found with faint — and legal — amounts of iodine and cesium. All six of the nuclear complex’s reactor units saw trouble after the disasters knocked out cooling systems. In a small advance, the plant’s operator declared Units 5 and 6 — the least troublesome — under control after their nuclear fuel storage pools cooled to safe levels. Progress was made to reconnect two other units to the electric grid and in pumping seawater to cool another reactor and replenish it and a sixth reactor’s storage pools. But the buildup in pressure inside the vessel holding Unit 3’s reactor presented some danger, forcing officials to consider venting. The tactic produced explosions of radioactive gas during the early days of the crisis. Nuclear safety officials said one of the options could

The plant’s operator, Tokyo Electric Power Co., temporarily suspended the plans Sunday after it said the pressure inside the reactor stopped climbing, though staying at a high level. “It has stabilized,” Tokyo Electric manager Hikaru Kuroda told reporters. Kuroda, who said temperatures inside the reactor reached 572 degrees Fahrenheit, said the option to release the highly radioactive gas inap photo side is still under consideraa man carries a family photo rescued from his home. tion if pressure rises.

third unit’s reactor, meaning plant operators may need to deliberately release radioactive steam. That has only added to public anxiety over radiation that began leaking from the plant after a monstrous earthquake and tsunami devastated northeastern Japan on March 11 and left the plant unstable. As day broke today, Japan’s military resumed dousing of the complex’s troubled Unit 4. The safety of food and water was of particular concern. The government halted shipments of spinach from one area and raw milk from another near the nuclear plant after tests found iodine exceeded safety limits. But the contamination spread to spinach in three other prefectures and to more vegetables — canola and chrysanthemum greens. Tokyo’s tap water, where iodine turned up Friday, now has cesium. Rain and dust are also tainted. The Health Ministry also advised Iitate, a village of 6,000 people about 19 miles northwest of the Fukushima plant, not to drink tap water due to elevated levels of iodine. Ministry spokesman Takayuki Matsuda said iodine three times the normal level was detected there — about 1⁄26

FUKUSHIMA, Japan (AP) — Japanese officials reported progress Sunday in their battle to gain control over a leaking, tsunami-stricken nuclear complex, though the crisis was far from over, with the discovery of more radiationtainted vegetables and tap water adding to public fears about contaminated food and drink. The announcement by Japan’s Health Ministry late Sunday that tests had detected excess amounts of radioactive elements on canola and chrysanthemum greens marked a low moment in a day that had been peppered with bits of positive news: First, a teenager and his grandmother were found alive nine days after being trapped in their earthquake-shattered home. Then, the operator of the overheated nuclear plant said two of the six reactor units were safely cooled down. “We consider that now we have come to a situation where we are very close to getting the situation under control,” Deputy Cabinet Secretary Tetsuro Fukuyama said. Still, serious problems remained at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear complex. Pressure unexpectedly rose in a

He said he got out of the car to have a private conversation that FanFan would not overhear. He heard the shots and looked down to see blood on his shirt and sneakers.

Busch owns Bristol BY JENNA FRYER Associated Press
AssociAted Press
A triumphant Kyle Busch points at the pit crew that helped him win at Bristol.
BRISTOL, Tenn. — The situation was perfect for Carl Edwards to issue some payback on Kyle Busch. Instead, Edwards passed on a chance to knock Busch out of the lead over the closing laps at Bristol Motor Speedway. As Busch pulled away for Sunday’s win — his fifthstraight dating back to last August at the Tennessee track — Edwards regretted not racing harder to potentially steal the victory. The two have a history at Bristol, and Edwards is still smarting from contact last month at Phoenix that he believed wrecked a car capable of winning the race.
“I told him after Phoenix that I still owe him one, but I’ll save it up,” Edwards said. “I thought I’d be able to race with him harder for those last 15 to 20 laps, but he took off and I just couldn’t get back to him to race. If I would have known that was the only shot I was going to have, I might have raced a little harder.” That Edwards considered revenge was a surprise to Busch, who seemed mystified that Edwards could be holding any sort of grudge against him. “I have no idea what I’m owed from, you’d have to ask Carl,” Busch said, later adding when asked specifically about Phoenix, “Carl says what Carl says. I don’t know. And when and where it comes, I do not
know.” It didn’t come Sunday after Busch beat Edwards and Jimmie Johnson off pit road following the final pit stops. It gave him the lead and ability to hold them off over the final 60 laps. The racing at the start of each restart was intense, but Busch consistently pulled away from Edwards to prevent any real challenge for the win. “I was trying to drive away from him so he wouldn’t have the opportunity to get to me,” Busch said of his strategy with Edwards. “When he got to me that one time, I’m like ‘Oh, man. That was your shot. Nice try. You didn’t get it done.’ I just thought, man, if I

CHARLOTTE — North Carolina’s UNC 86 R o y Washington 83 W i l l i a m s woke up Sunday morning feeling ill. The Hall of Fame coach then had to endure one stomach-turning play after another in a dramatic and confusing finish that left the Tar Heels in a familiar spot: the NCAA tournament’s round of 16. Tyler Zeller scored 23 points, Harrison Barnes added 22 and North Carolina survived a closing minute that included numerous questionable calls to beat Washington 86-83 in the East region. The Tar Heels are into the second weekend for a record 24th time. “I told the kids to take care of the old man and they did a good job,” Williams said. “I feel a heck of a lot better now.” Rallying from deficits of 11 points in the first half and five in the second, the secondseeded Tar Heels (28-7) went ahead for good on Barnes’ 3pointer with 4:06 left. But they needed two late free throws from Dexter Strickland and two defensive stops in the final second to advance to play the SyracuseMarquette winner Friday in Newark, N.J. “For our lack of experience,” Barnes said, “we make up for that with heart.” Terrence Ross scored 19 points and Matthew BryanAmaning added 14 for the seventh-seeded Huskies (24-11), who couldn’t overcome a subpar game from star Isaiah AssociAted Press

CHARLOTTE — Duke is no stranger 73 to this situaDuke Michigan 71 tion: Facing an underdog with uncanny touch from 3-point range, one that’s racing downcourt in the closing seconds, scrambling for one last shot at some NCAA tournament magic. This time, it was Michigan’s turn to miss. Nolan Smith scored 24 points and the top-seeded Blue Devils held their breath as the Wolverines’ last shot clanged off the iron, sealing a 73-71 win Sunday that marked the 900th victory of coach Mike Krzyzewski’s Hall of Fame career. “The 900, it means that we’re advancing,” Krzyzewski said. “That’s the main thing.” Kyle Singler added 13 points for the Blue Devils (324), who shot 51 percent, never trailed in the second half and advanced to the round of 16 for the 12th time in 14 years. Next stop: Anaheim, Calif., for the West regional semifinals Thursday night. Parts of this game felt awfully familiar for Duke, which capped its run to the national championship last year with a dramatic two-point victory over Butler that wasn’t settled until Gordon Hayward’s halfcourt heave ricocheted off the glass and the iron at the buzzer. “We told our kids it would be like playing Butler in the national championship — a very similar, tough-minded, really, really good basketball team,” Krzyzewski said. “I’m proud of our effort and obvious ecstatic that we’re moving on.”

duke’s ryan Kelly contests a shot in the paint. One key difference: The eighth-seeded Wolverines (2114) gave themselves a much cleaner look on their final shot. Michigan, which trailed by 15 with 10:51 to play, clawed within one point twice in the final 90 seconds before Smith missed a free throw with 8.7 seconds left to give the Wolverines one last chance. Darius Morris zipped downcourt and put up a runner in the lane with 2 seconds left, but the shot bounced off the back iron and the rebound went to Smith at the buzzer. Morris finished with 16 points to lead Michigan, which made seven 3-pointers — the most allowed by Duke in a month. Kyrie Irving and Ryan Kelly scored 11 points apiece for the Blue Devils, who won their eighth straight game in the NCAA tournament. “I don’t want to take this Duke jersey off. As simple as

rightfielder Patrick Hampton hit a homer Friday.
MOUNT ULLA — Steven Wetmore wants to win more and proved it on Friday when he was the winning pitcher in a 21-6 victory at Statesville. It was the first win for West after nine losses, but coach Chad Parker hopes it becomes contagious. “We’ve put a lot of good things together and we’re improving,” Parker said. “We just have to put seven straight innings all together and get back to winning ballgames.” It has been an unusual beginning for the Fal- PARKER
cons. David Wright resigned early in the season and Parker took over. Parker, who coached at Statesville for years, started at West in August after being a head coach for 12 years. “I came over to be an assistant,” he said. “That was the mindset coming in. This was the first time I had been an assistant. I was enjoying my role.” Then Wright made his decision. “Coach Wright put a lot of tough thought into that decision,” Parker said. “He asked me if he ultimately went that way, would I be willing to take over. I told him, ‘Sure.’ “There was always a part of me wanting to be the guy making out the lineup and being the guy running the offense.”

Barringer to Averett BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com
LANDIS — South Rowan senior Nicole Barringer isn’t a household name, but she’s already made allcounty teams for volleyball and basketball this school year, and it will be an upset if the hard-hitting catcher doesn’t complete her prep career by going 3-for-3 with a berth on the allcounty softball team. “Nicole is still one heck of a softball player,” said Jan Dowling, South’s volleyball coach. “But volleyball — that’s her thing now.” Barringer, an outstanding setter, recently committed to play for Averett, a Division III school in Danville, Va. Averett can’t give athletic scholarships. It recruits the best athletes it can find who also have the grades to qualify for academic scholarships. Softball used to be Barringer’s main thing. She spent her freshman and sophomore years on the showcase and travel-ball circuit. Volleyball attracted her attention relatively late — at first it was something to do to get in shape for basketball and softball — but she played on South’s jayvee team as a freshman. “I was an outside hitter my freshman year, and then our setter broke her thumb,” Barringer said. “The coaches said I had good hands, and I tried setting for the first time.” She was on the varsity volleyball team as a sophomore. She was a rightside hitter because South had an allcounty setter in Krista Haywood. It was between her sophomore and junior years that the volleyball bug bit Barringer hard. Dowling was counting on her to replace Haywood, and Barringer threw her heart and
soul into the effort to improve. “That’s when I realized volleyball was what I loved and what I wanted to do in college,” Barringer said. “It was volleyball 24/7 after that.” Barringer’s junior season included a school-record 49 assists in a marathon match against East Rowan. In her senior volleyball season, Barringer used her height (5-foot-9) and long arms to become one of the county’s elite players. “Nicole’s confidence had grown, and with added confidence she started to reach her full potential,” Dowling said. “I think as a senior she grew to be not just a great volleyball player but a great leader. She took full ownership of her mistakes. She’s a perfectionist, and she did everything she could to be the best she could be.” Barringer followed her stellar volleyball season with a quality basketball season. She buried shot after shot in February and finished the season as the Raiders’ leading scorer. Barringer attracted volleyball recruiting interest from Division II schools Belmont Abbey and Brevard, but Averett had the inside track because Barringer already knew Averett coach Danny Miller through summer and club volleyball. Miller has guided Averett’s Cougars to nine regular-season championships and seven tourney titles in his 16 seasons. Averett was 20-17 last fall, and that was in a down year. “They’ve got a very strong program, a winning program, and that was important to me,” Barringer said. Dowling expects her to become important to Averett. “Nicole will be a shining light for Averett,” she said. “They’re lucky to get her. She’ll be one of their best.”
Carson plays at SR From staff reports
South Rowan’s varsity baseball team is home against Carson in a key NPC matchup tonight. South (5-2) has jumped out of the blocks 3-0 in the NPC. Carson (5-4) is 3-1 in the league. The Cougars have won their last three outings. The neighbors split last season, and the all-time series is tied at 3-3. Catcher Joseph Basinger (.500, two homers, 13 RBIs), shortstop Gunnar Hogan (.368, 11 runs, six RBIs), first baseman Kyle Bridges (.364, nine runs), second baseman Kyle Youngo (.333, nine runs) and third baseman Josh Martin (.333, eight RBIs) have been the top hitters for the Cougars. South has been led at the plate by first baseman/pitcher Preston Penninger (.467, two homers, 10 RBIs), center fielder Tyler Kowalczyk (.450, nine runs, six steals), catcher Eric Tyler (.381, seven runs) and shortstop Dylan Goodman (.304, 10 runs). In North Rowan’s 10-7 loss to West Montgomery on Friday, Alex Morgan had three hits and two RBIs, and Wes Barker scored three runs. Morgan is batting .706 with 11 RBIs.
College track
Charlotte’s Makenzie Mullinax (South Rowan) tied for seventh in the women’s pole vault, and Western Carolina’s Wayne Parker (East) tied for fifth in the men’s pole vault. Western’s Ryan Pless (East) placed 18th in the discus, while Western’s Olivia Jacobs (South) was 30th in the 5000 meters.
College softball Catawba’s softball team split with Mount Olive on Sunday at Whitley Field, losing the opener 4-0 before taking a 4-0 win in the second game. Emily Huneycutt (8-6) pitched the shutout in the nightcap for Catawba (17-13), allowing only three hits. Alli Justice (double, RBI squeeze bunt) and Tara Gibbs (three RBIs) led the offense in the second game.
College baseball Top-ranked Mount Olive used an eight-run fifth inning to beat Pfeiffer 15-7 on Sunday and sweep a weekend series. Kevin Price drove in three runs for the Falcons (13-18, 6-6). Ross Steedley (East Rowan) had two RBIs, and Justin Roland (East) went 1-for-3 with a sac fly as Charlotte beat Harvard 7-2 on Sunday.
Ross Oden (East Rowan) placed 10th in the 1000 meters in the Sham- College golf rock Invitational at Myrtle Beach, Virginia’s Will Collins (Salisbury) S.C., as USC Upstate got its outdoor track season under way. Oden was shot 73-72-76 — 221 and helped the Cavaliers finish third at the Schenkel timed in 33:40.39, a personal best. In the Charlotte 49er Classic, Invitational in Statesboro, Ga.
WEST FROM 1B Offensively, Parker looks to Chandler Jones, who banged out three doubles against Statesville. He’s going to be in the 3 or 4 spot in the order. Other teams know about Jones. He walked 12 times in the first five games. “He’s not somebody we can hide,” Parker said. “He’s our main power threat. And he’s solid defensively.” Jones, who hit .342 last year, is joined in the infield by sophomore Hunter Teeter at second, junior Bryce Burns, who comes up from the jayvees, at shortstop, and Madison Osborne and Louis Kraft at first. “Teeter’s a hard-working kid,” Parker said. “He’s shuffled around the lineup, but he’s better at the top of the order. “Burns still has work to do but he’s getting better every day. He makes all the throws.” Parker said whoever stays hot with the bat will play first. Kraft was late coming out due to basketball. Pitching-wise, Matt Miller leads the staff . He was 5-1 last season “He’s our go-to guy,” Parker said of the junior right-hander. Sophomore lefty Justin Evans has earned playing time. “He has a chance to develop into the second starter,” Parker said. Seniors include Wetmore, Ethan Wansley, Osborne and Hampton. Chase Laing is a junior. “We have a chance to have a solid staff,” Parker said. “The kids compete.”
The staff will be looking to catchers Steven Crandall, a senior, and freshman Michael Pinkston. “Crandall’s a great worker,” Parker said. The outfield is led CRANDALL by senior Patrick Hampton in right and sophomore Taylor Garczynski in center. Hampton hit a homer on Friday night. He had two last season, batting .246. Garczynski has speed. He stole 12 bases last season to go with a .306 average. “He runs well,” Parker said. “He has a chance to hit well and put up some numbers.” Left field will be by committee, according to Parker. He pointed to Miller and Wansley when they’re not pitching. Davon Quarles is also an outfielder. Wetmore could see action in right when he’s not on the mound. West struggled with close games early. It was leading in three of its first five before losing. “It’s frustrating,” Parker said. “We’ve got to eliminate that one big inning.” Hopefully, Wetmore’s win on Friday will be a turning point. “The best part is, it’s nice to see us making progress,” Parker said. We’re getting better on the mound.” • NOTE: West has a busy week. It welcomes defending state champ East Rowan on Tuesday at 7 p.m., faces Salisbury on Wednesday and travels to St. Stephens on Friday.

Arizona players get excited on the bench as derrick Williams dunks ferociously against texas.
Texas is toppled Associated Press
Sunday’s NCAA Tournament roundup ... TULSA, Okla. — Derrick Williams’ three-point play with 9.6 seconds remaining lifted Arizona to a 70-69 win over Texas in the third round of the NCAA tournament Sunday. The fifth-seeded Wildcats (29-7) led by as many as 13 in the first half and were up for most of the game before J’Covan Brown’s jumper put the No. 4 seed Longhorns ahead 69-67. Williams misfired on a tying attempt with 14.5 seconds remaining, but Texas (28-8) was called for a five-second violation on the inbounds play to give Arizona one more chance. Replays appeared to show the call came before the count reached five — as a Texas player tried to call timeout. Williams took advantage, slipping to the baseline on a pick-and-roll and taking the pass from Kyle Fogg. His shot banked in to tie the game, and his free throw put the Wildcats into the regional semifinals in their return to the NCAA tournament. Last year’s absence snapped a 25-year streak. Arizona will play top-seeded Duke on Thursday in Anaheim, Calif. Brown had one final chance for the Longhorns, driving the length of the court and into the lane. But he was met by a trio of Arizona defenders, including Williams, and his wild shot went high and missed. Time expired during the battle for the rebound. Marquette 66, Syracuse 62 CLEVELAND — Darius Johnson-Odom’s 3-pointer with 27 seconds left snapped a tie and gave Marquette a win over Big East foe Syracuse that put the Golden Eagles into the round of 16 for the first time in eight years. The 11th-seeded Golden Eagles (22-14) had the winning basket set up by one of Syracuse’s 18 turnovers. Marquette will play North Carolina in the East regional semifinals Friday in Newark, N.J. The Golden Eagles are in the round of 16 for the first time since Dwyane Wade led them to the Final Four in 2003. This was the second straight early exit for third-seeded Syracuse (27-8). The Orange were a No. 1 seed last year and lost in the round of 16 to Butler. Virginia Commonwealth 94, Purdue 76 CHICAGO — Bradford Burgess scored 23 points and 11th-seeded VCU made it three victories in five days, routing third-seeded Purdue to earn a trip to the Southwest regional semifinals. VCU’s remarkable run sends the Rams to the round of 16 for the first time in school history. They’ve ousted Southern California, Georgetown and Purdue since Wednesday night. VCU (26-11) will play Florida State on Friday in San Antonio. Jamie Skeen added 13 points in a balanced attack as the Rams led by as many 20, shutting down the Boilermakers (26-8) and quieting a large contingent of Purdue fans at the United Center. Speedy floor leader Joey Rodriguez had 12 points and 11 assists, controlling the tempo. VCU shot 57 percent and had 26 assists to just four turnovers. Big Ten player of the year JaJuan Johnson scored 25 in his final game for the Boilermakers to go with 14 rebounds. But Purdue’s other star, E’Twaun Moore, struggled and managed just 10 points on 5-of-15 shooting. Ohio State 98, George Mason 66 CLEVELAND — David Lighty made all seven of his 3-pointers and scored 25 points, Jared Sullinger added 18 after informing one of George Mason’s players “it’s over” and top-seeded Ohio State made 16 3s to advance in the NCAA tournament with a jaw-dropping rout. With thousands of fans chanting “O-H-I-O” at every opportunity, the Buckeyes (34-2) took apart the eighthseeded Patriots (27-7), who created some March mayhem a few years ago and hoped to follow Butler’s lead by taking out a No. 1 seed in this tourney. Ohio State destroyed any upset plans and moved closer to its first national title since 1960. The Buckeyes will meet Kentucky (27-8) in the East regional semifinals Friday in Newark. Ohio State is 5-0 in NCAA tournament matchups with the Wildcats. After falling behind 11-2, the Big Ten champions used their devastating inside-outside attack to post the most lopsided tournament victory in school history. William Buford scored 18 and freshman guard Aaron Craft had 15 assists for Ohio State. Cam Long scored 16 points to lead George Mason, which played without Luke Hancock, one of its best players. The sophomore guard had food poisoning and remained with a trainer at the team’s hotel. Kansas 73, Illinois 59 TULSA, Okla. — Twin brothers Marcus and Markieff Morris combined for 41 points and 24 rebounds, powering top-seeded Kansas past Illinois to ensure the Jayhawks wouldn’t make an opening-weekend exit from the NCAA tournament for the second straight year. The Jayhawks (34-2) avoided revisiting their loss to another No. 9 seed, Northern Iowa, exactly a year earlier and also on Oklahoma soil. Instead, they’re moving on in a bracket filled with upsets. Mike Davis led the Fighting Illini (20-14) with 17 points and seven rebounds. Florida State 71, Notre Dame 57 CHICAGO. — No. 10 seed Florida State gave the ACC three teams in the Sweet 16 with a convincing and dominating victory against No. 2 seed Notre Dame late Sunday night at the United Center. Bernard James paced the balanced Seminoles, who led by 11 at halftime, with 14 points and 10 rebounds. Tim Abromaitas scored 21 for the Fighting Irish, and Ben Hansbrough added 18. Notre Dame shot 31.7 percent for the game and was only 7-for-30 from the 3-point line.
The NBA roundup ... HOUSTON — Kyle Lowry had 28 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists for Houston’s first triple-double of the season, and the Rockets moved past Utah in the Western Conference standings with a 110-108 victory over the Jazz on Sunday night. Lowry notched his first career triple-double and set a career high in rebounds, and Kevin Martin scored 34 points for the Rockets, who slid into the No. 9 spot in the Western Conference, a half-game ahead of the Jazz. Raptors 95, Thunder 93 OKLAHOMA CITY — Amir Johnson made a layup with 1.4 seconds left to help Toronto stop a 14-game road losing streak Andrea Bargnani scored 23 points for the Raptors, who earned their first road win since Jan. 5 at Cleveland. Bucks 100, Knicks 95 MILWAUKEE — Carlos Delfino scored a career-high 30 points and Brandon Jennings finished an assist short of a triple-double, leading Mil-
waukee to the win. Jennings had 14 points, 11 rebounds and nine assists, and the Bucks built a 23-point first-quarter lead only to watch it evaporate in a halfcourt struggle. Suns 108, Clippers 99 LOS ANGELES — Steve Nash had 23 points, 13 assists and seven rebounds, Channing Frye added 19 points and Phoenix grabbed control early in the fourth quarter. Frye hit two of his five 3pointers in the final minutes of his second game back from a dislocated right shoulder. Blake Griffin scored 17 points for the Clippers, who have lost three of four. Reserve Chris Kaman produced 21 points and 11 rebounds. Wizards 98, Nets 92 WASHINGTON — John Wall scored 26 points and Washington overcame a 17point deficit to get the win.

Two power-play goals lift Rangers Associated Press
The NHL roundup ... PITTSBURGH — Marian Gaborik and Ryan Callahan scored power play goals 11 seconds apart as part of a four-goal third period and the New York Rangers extended their winning streak to a season-high four games with a 52 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Sunday. New York took advantage when Pittsburgh’s Matt Cooke took a 5-minute elbowing penalty 4:36 into the third. After Chris Kunitz scored a short-handed goal for Pitts-
burgh, Penguins defenseman Matt Niskanen was given a high-sticking double-minor three minutes later. Predators 4, Sabres 3, OT BUFFALO, N.Y. — Nashville rookie Blake Geoffrion scored three goals, including two 1:02 apart in the final three minutes of regulation, and Martin Erat completed the comeback 27 seconds into overtime as the Predators stormed to a victory over Buffalo. Devils 3, Blue Jackets 0 COLUMBUS, Ohio — David Clarkson scored twice and Martin Brodeur made 13
saves to earn his NHL-record 115th shutout as New Jersey snapped a two-game slide by beating Columbus. Canadiens 8, Wild 1 ST. PAUL, Minn. — Rookie defenseman P.K. Subban scored three goals for his first NHL hat trick, and Montreal posted its biggest offensive outburst in more than three years in a rout of Minnesota. With hundreds of loud Canadiens fans in attendance, Ryan White gave visiting Montreal the lead just 31 seconds in. That set the tone for the blowout. Montreal led 2-0 after the first period.
Woodland gets initial PGA win Associated Press
The golf roundup ... PALM HARBOR, Fla. — Gary Woodland made only one par on the back nine Sunday at the Transitions Championship, and it gave him his first PGA Tour victory and a trip to the Masters. Woodland surged into the lead with three straight birdies, and fell out of it with back-to-back bogeys. Tied for the lead on the final hole at Innisbrook, the big hitter from Kansas holed a 10-foot par
putt to finish off a 4-under 67. That proved to be the difference when Webb Simpson also went long on the 18th and his chip down the slope went 20 feet by the hole. Simpson missed the putt to shoot 69 and finished one shot behind. Woodland, who played college basketball at Washburn until he decided to transfer to Kansas to play golf, became the first player to earn his inaugural PGA Tour title at Innisbrook. LPGA PHOENIX — Karrie Webb
DUKE FroM 1B that,” Smith said. “Every game could be my last.” Krzyzewski improved to 900-283 in his 36th season and can catch his mentor and college coach for first on the career list next weekend. He would match Bob Knight with a victory in the regional final, and would pass him with one win in Houston that also would put the reigning national champions back in the title game. “There will be a lot of guys who will win 900 games eventually, but to be the first two and for it to be a coach and his player to do it, it’s something very
UNC FroM 1B Thomas and a hostile crowd to pull the upset in a fast-paced game full of entertaining plays and mental miscues. “All of our guys fought and did so many things right that could have enabled us to win the ballgame,” coach Lorenzo Romar said, “but we didn’t get it done.” Washington, which came in with as many NCAA tournament wins (18) as North Carolina has Final Four appearances, nearly pulled off a dramatic comeback in a virtual road game 2,800 miles from home. Washington got within 8483 on Ross’ 3-pointer with 17.3 seconds left before North Carolina’s Kendall Marshall — who set a school NCAA tour-
rallied to win the LPGA Founders Cup for her second straight victory, shooting a 6under 66 to beat Brittany Lincicome and Paula Creamer by a stroke. Webb won when Lincicome bogeyed the final hole, missing a 10-foot par putt. European Tour — RAGUSA, Sicily France’s Raphael Jacquelin held a one-shot lead over England’s Anthony Wall when final-round play at the inaugural Sicilian Open was suspended because of darkness.
unique,” Krzyzewski said. Still, Michigan nearly made Coach K wait until next year — or at least work overtime — to try for No. 900. Coach John Beilein frustrated Duke by mixing his defenses, and Tim Hardaway Jr. reeled off seven consecutive points down the stretch, capped by a 3pointer that made it 70-69 with 1:27 remaining. “That’s all we needed to do was make a shot,” Beilein said “This has been (a) pretty common thread with us this year, that we’ve been able to get back because we play pretty sound defense and we can hit a couple 3s back to back and change a game.” Duke milked the clock before Irving’s banked-in jumper with 32 seconds left, but Morris followed that with a layup that
nament record with 14 assists — missed the front end of a 1and-1 at the foul line. Washington’s Venoy Overton then missed a runner in the lane, but the ball bounced off North Carolina and out of bounds with 7.4 seconds left. On the inbound play, 6-foot-10 John Henson knocked away Justin Holiday’s pass under the basket and the ball landed in Strickland’s hands, and he hit two free throws with 5.4 seconds left. Moments later, Overton launched a premature halfcourt shot with about 3 seconds remaining that fell well short. Romar indicated that Overton was anticipating getting fouled, something Williams said the Tar Heels planned to do to prevent a tying 3-point attempt. That wasn’t the end of it, though. Not at all.
could get away from him I wouldn’t have to worry about it, so concentrate, get going.” He did, pulling away to complete a sweep of the weekend — he also won the second-tier Nationwide Series race on Saturday — and it was Busch’s fifth consecutive victory at Bristol dating back to a three-race sweep last August. He’s now won five Cup races at Bristol, which ties him with older-brother Kurt in NASCAR’s top series, and has 11 victories spanning the three national series. Busch, who drives a Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing, dedicated the win to the manufacturer and its employees in Japan still trying to recover from the March 11 earthquake and tsunami. Edwards settled for second and lamented not pushing Busch harder after the final restart with 37 laps remaining. Busch, Edwards and Johnson pulled away from the field, and Edwards had several opportunities to move Busch’s No. 18 Toyota out of the way. But Edwards, in a Ford for Roush Fenway Racing, figured he’d have plenty of chances closer to the finish, so he tried for a clean pass as he and Busch raced side-by-side for several laps. Busch eventually pulled away, and Edwards never had another shot. “My gut told me there was going to be another caution,” Edwards said of his decision not to move Busch. “I figured we’d let it calm down and we’d just race. It ended up the fastest car at the end won the race. Hindsight is 20/20, but that’s the way it panned out.” Johnson, the defending race winner, finished third in his Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet and said he was waiting patiently for a dustup between Busch and Edwards that could have given him the win. “We were all running really hard, and there were a couple moments where I thought I might be given a big gift,” Johnson said. “ It’s not like I was really riding. There was nowhere for me to go if I got up in there and raced with those guys. I left myself a little bit of room. These guys were digging up front and I was just waiting to see what was going to happen.” Kenseth was fourth and was followed by Paul Menard and Kevin Harvick for Richard Childress Racing.
cut it to 72-71 with 10 seconds to go. Duke fouled Smith with 8.7 seconds left, and he made his first attempt but missed the second. Zack Novak got the rebound and got it to Morris, who headed straight for the lane and put up Michigan’s last shot. After the horn sounded, Morris lay face-down on the floor and repeatedly slapped the court with his palm in frustration. “Darius got a great shot off, (a) shot he hits a lot in practice,” teammate Stu Douglass said. “When it was in the air, I thought it was going down.” Hardaway scored 15 points, Evan Smotrycz had 13, Novak scored 12 and Jordan Morgan finished with 10 for the Wolverines, who don’t have a senior on the roster. They were denied their first trip to the round of 16 since 1994.
Instead of letting the errant shot go harmlessly out of bounds, Henson touched the ball on the way down to give the Huskies yet another chance. “I told John I wished he just caught that ball,” Williams said. But how much time was left? Replays with the official game clock superimposed on the screen showed there should have been 1.1 or 1.2 seconds to go, giving Washington more time for a final shot. Romar said after the game that his staff asked the referees to review how much time should have been left, but the officials stuck with half a second. “There’s always a lag time between the time the play occurs and the whistle is blown and the clock stops,” official Doug Shows told a pool re-
porter. “By rule, the clock stops when the whistle blows. We were asked to check the time and we verified that it was accurate with the standby official and the clock operator.” Needing to hurry, the Huskies then inbounded the ball to Thomas, who unloaded a shot from the corner. Henson inexplicably touched the ball just before it would have hit the rim and the Washington bench erupted for a goaltending call — not that it would have mattered. It turned out Thomas had his foot on the 3-point line. “I kind of felt like it was going to be short because I had to fade away and had to get if off quickly,” Thomas said. “I might have had my left foot on the line.” It was a frustrating end to a frustrating day for the star of the Pac-10 tournament.

Lichen sclerosus an irritating condition Bridge hand: To finesse or not to finesse tion is not contagious, and it cannot be spread to others through sexual contact. Persistent cases may carry an increased risk of skin cancer, but this has not been definitively proved; however, it is still important to have followup examinations at least every year. More severe cases may require an exam every six months. Untreated cases are at increased risk for complications. In women with genital involvement, scratching can lead to scarring, which may narrow the vaginal opening, thus affecting the ability and/or desire to have intercourse. In those with blistering, it may become so severe that any pressure on the area becomes unbearable. In men with foreskin involvement, it can lead to tightening and thinning of the area, causing problems urinating and during erections. Treatment depends on location. Many mild cases without involvement of the genitals or anus will disappear on their own. Other areas that require therapy may respond to corticosteroid ointments or creams typically used daily for several weeks with a reduction to a maintenance level of just once or twice in a like period to prevent recurrence. It is important to have regular monitoring because prolonged use of steroids can cause side effects. If this approach fails to work, other options include prescription sex hormones, ultraviolet-light treatment (only for nongenital areas) and immune-modulating medications. Men with lichen sclerosus of the foreskin may benefit from circumcision.

Jim Ritts of Knoxville, Tenn., saw a T-shirt in Vail, Col., claiming: “If you think marriage is a 50-50 proposition, you don’t know the half of it.” A finesse is supposedly 5050, but as we found out last week, if you always think that, you don’t know the half of it. This week, we will look at five deals that might or might not involve a finesse. In today’s, you are in four spades. West leads the diamond jack. What would you do? You might have rebid three notrump, which would have worked well with this layout, since you would have had nine top tricks on any lead. (Strong-club systems, when a one-club opening
promises 16 points or more, work better with this type of hand, permitting a more leisurely discussion about the merits of each strain — a suit or no-trump.) You have two diamond los-
Spain’s police publish catalog of stolen art
90 DAYS UP TO 12 MONTHS
MADRID (AP) — Spanish police have published a catalog of high value stolen art and precious objects in the hope of reuniting them with their rightful owners. Among items retrieved during raids are works by Pablo Picasso, sculpture, rare archaeological objects, watches, coins and medals. Six Picasso pieces from 1933 entitled “Cardinal Sins” including “Envy” and “Avarice” — each in a silver frame — are featured alongside an Etruscan period bronze sculpture estimated by police to be 2,000 years old and jewelry made of gold, diamonds and emeralds.

Dear Dr. Gott: Please provide any information you have concerning lichen sclerosus. I was diagnosed eight years ago and have visited three doctors, who all agree I have it, but I have not had much help from the medications they have preDR. PETER scribed. Evidently not GOTT much is known about the cause of the problem or a cure. Mine is definitely getting worse, and I’m searching for help. I read your column and enjoy your helpful comments. Thank you for any assistance you can provide — even hints about where I could research further on my own would be welcome. Dear reader: Lichen sclerosus is an uncommon skin condition. It primarily affects the skin of the genitals or anus, but it can occur anywhere on the body and in anyone of any age. It is most prevalent in postmenopausal women. Symptoms include itching (sometimes severe), smooth white spots that may become blotchy and wrinkled, easy bruising or tearing, tenderness of the affected areas, discomfort, bleeding and, in severe cases, blistering or ulcerated lesions. The cause of lichen sclerosus is unknown, but it is thought to be related to either a lack of sex hormones or an overactive immune system. Areas of skin that had previous damage are more likely to be affected if you develop lichen sclerosus. The condi-

ers and two finesses, in hearts and clubs. So, you win trick one with your diamond ace, play a spade to dummy’s jack, and take the heart finesse. It loses, they cash their diamond tricks and exit with a trump to dummy’s ace. Now you take the club finesse. Unlucky — it loses too: down one. Well, that is how it would go for a finessing fiend. But surely you didn’t play it that way. After winning with the diamond ace, you cashed the club ace and played another club, didn’t you? They took their diamond winners ending with East, and he shifted to the heart jack, but you won with your ace, drew two rounds of trumps ending in the dummy, and discarded your losing heart queen on the winning club queen — didn’t you?

WEATHER UNDERGROUND’S NATIONAL WEATHER The large trough of low pressure that brought significant wet weather activity to California this past weekend will trek slowly to the east Monday. Waves of energy associated with this disturbance will spread into the Pacific Northwest and the Great Basin. While these disturbances will be somewhat weaker than yesterday, widely scattered precipitation is expected to accompany these systems. Precipitation totals are not expected to be as heavy as they were in California yesterday due to the lack of moisture reaching the western interior. Meanwhile, the cold unstable airmass of the region will continue the threat of showers back near the West Coast. As the system of the West heads East, precipitation over the Central U.S. will shift toward the East Coast Monday. A low pressure system in the Midwest will move into the Upper Great Lakes, bringing moderate rain showers and chances of thunderstorms to the the Great Lakes, northern Mid-Atlantic, and parts of the Northeast and southern New England areas. Colder temperatures in the Upper Peninsula may support snow shower development during the early morning. By Monday night, a slight risk of severe thunderstorms with damaging wind and hail will be possible in parts of the mid-Missouri Valley into Central Iowa.
