TOYOTA RECALL

Dress code changes scrapped School board to leave current enforcement up to superintendent By CAITLIN MULLEN cmullen@sanfordherald.com

MORE THAN 100 FIX COMPLAINTS LOGGED

Complaints of sudden acceleration in Toyotas repaired under recalls have nearly doubled in the past two weeks, according to an Associated Press analysis of government data Page 9A

ENTERTAINMENT

SANFORD — The Lee County Board of Education has decided to allow the superintendent to enforce the current school district dress code, abandoning other proposed changes that have been discussed in recent weeks. In a called board meeting/budget work session at the Heins Education Building

Tuesday night, board members followed the ad hoc committee’s recommendation to allow Superintendent Jeff Moss to enforce the current policy and to set up clear, consistent consequences for those who violate the dress code. “We’re basically re-emphasizing that the current policy as written is to be enforced,” said Board Chairman Bill Tatum.

See Dress, Page 6A

“It gives us clear direction that they’d like to see consistent consequences for students who violate the code.”

SANFORD — The Southern Belles are on a mission to become ladies. The extracurricular group of Southern Lee High School girls met last Wednesday for the first time, and they’re still recruiting members and deciding what they’ll do at each meeting. But the idea is to help girls that may not have learned certain etiquette or social norms from their parents, said adviser Karin Work. Work said the girls came to her and expressed interest in creating an etiquette group. She teaches culinary arts and foods at SLHS and has become close with several of her students. They’ve even asked her about makeup and choosing the right colors to match skin tone. “We were sitting in class folding napkins and we were like, ‘They should teach us this stuff in school.’ Overall, we hope to get out of it a

SANFORD — For members of a local Parkinson’s Disease support group, there’s comfort in knowing you’re not alone. The group, which has met for almost five years, includes members suffering from Parkinson’s or spouses or friends of those with the disease. Meeting the third Wednesday of every month at the Lee County Enrichment Center, the group discusses various symptoms of the disease, medications for treating Parkinson’s and ways to cope with it. “I think the best part about the group is you hear other people’s problems and you put them together with yours,” said Worth Pickard, who suffers from Parkinson’s. And as Parkinson’s Awareness Month in April approaches, the group would like to see the community learn more about the disease. Parkinson’s Disease is a neurological disorder that affects muscle control. It progresses slowly in most people, and no two Parkinson’s patients are the same. “Every case of Parkinson’s is different. Some have severe Parkinson’s, some have it light,” said Hal Siler, who has Parkinson’s. And for many people with the disease, it’s not their only health issue. Some also have diabetes, heart problems or Alzheimer’s disease. “When you mix it up with the other old age diseases, it becomes a problem. ... But we decided Parkinson’s is the best to have,” Siler joked. “It comes on gradually. You don’t know at first. Nobody can pinpoint when it starts,” said Roberta Hopkins, whose husband has the disease.

Google effort a waste of time? Certainly not Our View Issue: Sanford plans to join the contest to bring Google Fiber to the Brick City

Our stance: The odds are long, but the effort isn’t costing taxpayers a dime. Why not go for it?

Feeling lucky? Fans of Google get it ... it’s the option button next to “search” that takes you straight to a Web page you’re searching for rather than giving you a plethora of Web pages to choose from. It will take a lot of luck for Sanford to be chosen by the Internet giant as a guinea pig for Google Fiber, the company’s experimental fiber-optic network that promises to be more than 100 times faster than the Internet service we’re used to. For you dial-up users, consider it a billion times faster ... we’re guessing. The reason for the long odds is Sanford’s competition. While Google isn’t saying how many

It’s not like we’re going to hold our breath. We understand the odds, which are only slightly better than Powerball. But nobody ever got anywhere without taking a chance. cities it will choose (we’re guessing one or two ... a big city and a small one), it has attracted hundreds of municipalities from throughout the nation, all hoping for the chance to completely overhaul its networks and take in the publicity that is sure to come for whomever is chosen. And while there are skeptics (everybody has a beef with the town they live in), we’re here to say Sanford has just as good of

a chance of being picked as any city our size. Our location is perfect — East Coast, middle of the state. Our amenities are close — worldclass universities, hospitals and military base. And we aren’t so bad looking, either. We commend the Sanford Area Chamber of Commerce and the local officials and business leaders who’ve met to come up with a

plan to beat the fast-approaching March 26 application deadline. We’re happy to see them giving it a shot — a shot that costs the taxpayers nothing, and a shot that if it lands will completely change the city (we think for the better). It’s not like we’re going to hold our breath. We understand the odds, which are only slightly better than Powerball. But nobody ever got anywhere without taking a chance. And remember, you too can nominate Sanford or another city online at http://www.google.com/appserve/fiberrfi/public/overview. Being picked will certainly put Sanford on the map ... and not just the Google Map.

Letters to the Editor Patient says service at CCH was top-notch To the Editor:

Scott Mooneyham Today in North Carolina Scott Mooneyham is a columnist with Capitol Press Association

Perdue’s unlucky hand

ne day, some historian may conclude that Beverly Perdue is one of the unluckiest of North Carolina’s governors. Obviously, it’s a bit too early to come to such a conclusion. After all, one of her political heroes, O. Max Gardner, pushed and prodded state government through the Great Depression. ... Perdue, though, faces the unenviable task of trying to move the state through this so-called Great Recession at a time of some of the most serious public corruption probes in North Carolina history. Those corruption investigations have helped contribute already widespread distrust of government. Perdue probably recognized early on that she had drawn the short straw when it comes to the ethics swirl surrounding state government. Realizing the enormity of the financial problems facing the state may have only come more recently. Listening to her words last year or earlier this year, it would be easy to believe that Perdue had already come to see the state’s financial woes as some unprecedented crisis. But politicians always play up the problems that they inherit so that they can look good once they are solved. As a state legislator and lieutenant governor, Perdue had seen economic downturns and the corresponding drop in tax collections before. Until recently, she could convince herself that these tough times too will pass. And they will. But not during her first term in office. If Perdue should win a second term, state government’s financial hole will persist for a while even as the economy improves. The governor and her top advisers now seem to be recognizing the long climb out of this financial hole that awaits them. “The low-hanging fruit is already gone,” Perdue spokeswoman Chrissy Pearson recently told the Associated Press. “This is going to require some creativity.” Governors and legislative budget writers have used that low-hanging fruit cliché before. Maybe they were right. Maybe the easy budget grabs had disappeared as well in 2001 or 1990. The problem facing this governor is not just that she plucked those apples and oranges last year. It’s that the apple and orange trees, unlike in the past, aren’t going to be bearing any more fruit for another four or five years. Tax collections won’t improve substantially until the state’s employment picture improves. Even then, there will be a lag of a year or two. In her first 14 months in office, some state officials have privately grumbled that the Perdue administration has resembled a think tank, floating around ideas without being willing to put the tough ones into action. Whether fair criticism or not, no amount of creativity will avoid some hard decisions. Perdue may be unlucky. Just like Vance or Gardner, it’s the hand she’s been dealt.

Dems’ true colors T

he final outcome of the health care reform debate is uncertain — who can predict where a writhing eel will land? — but we have learned a few things already. First, we know that President Obama and the Democratic congressional leadership could not persuade a majority of Americans of the wisdom of their plan — and have largely ceased to try. As of this writing, a president who seems willing to interrupt prime-time programming on the slightest pretext has not scheduled a speech from the Oval Office to make his final health reform appeal. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is working her parliamentarians overtime to achieve the congressional equivalent of the Immaculate Conception — a law without a vote. One gets the impression that Democrats would prefer health reform to slip by the House in a procedural maneuver on a Friday night during the NCAA basketball tournament — which it might. The most visible Democratic domestic priority of the last 40 years must be smuggled into law, lest too many Americans notice. Politicians claiming the idealism of saints have adopted the tactics of burglars. Victory, if it comes, will seem less like a parade than a heist. Liberals tend to blame this state of affairs on the brilliance of Republican fear-mongering. Meaning the slashing wittiness of Sarah Palin? The irresistible charisma of Mitch McConnell? The more likely explanation: Americans are engaged in a serious national debate about the role and size of government, in which the advocates of government-dominated health care are significantly outnumbered and vastly outmatched in enthusiasm. America, despite liberal fear-mongering, has not become “Glenn Beckistan.” But it is not yet Europe. A second thing we have learned during the health care debate is that the Democratic Party’s commitment to abortion rights is even more central to its identity than health reform. Pelosi’s initial concession to pro-life Democratic Rep. Bart Stupak — preventing federally subsidized health plans from covering abortion — was made for show. The Senatepassed bill allows subsidized plans to cover abortion by collecting an extra payment from every enrollee, as long as at least one other insurance option in a region doesn’t cover abortion. This is a departure from the status quo, which not only prohibits the use of federal funds for elective abortions but also prohibits the use of federal funds for health plans that cover such abortions. Says Stupak: “I really believe that the Democratic leadership is simply unwilling to change its stance. Their position says that women, especially those without means available, should have their abortions covered.” But this stance by the Democratic leadership violates an informal social agreement that has existed for decades, in which abortion is generally legal but citizens who

object to the practice are not required to pay for it. Those who support the Senate bill are participating in the largest expansion of federal involvement in abortion since the Hyde Amendment limited that role in 1976. Third, we have learned that the president and congressional leaders are not serious about entitlement reform. The problem here is not only accounting tricks and the assumption of unprecedented courage on the part of future Congresses when it comes to Medicare cuts — though these are bad enough. The main source of irresponsibility is that the revenue-gaining measures in the health bill — particularly Medicare cuts and taxing Cadillac health plans — would be used to create a new entitlement instead of repairing an existing one. The greatest cost of the current health care reform is its opportunity cost. The unfunded liability of America’s current entitlements is more than $100 trillion. Medicare will eventually require a massive infusion of cash under a congressional entitlement fix. Both the Congressional Budget Office and the Medicare actuary have pressed the point that Medicare savings can either be used to pay future Medicare benefits or to finance new spending outside Medicare — not both. When the entitlement crisis arrives, Obama will have already spent much of the resources required to meet it, leaving growth-killing new taxes as the main, remaining option. A value-added tax anyone? For some elected Democrats, the prospect of expanding health coverage is a moral goal worth the compromise of any principle and the adoption of any necessary method. But they need to enter their vote with open eyes. The passage of this legislation would decisively confirm an image of the Democratic Party that many have worked to change: partial to big government, pro-abortion and fiscally reckless.

Today’s Prayer Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed. (John 8:36) PRAYER: Father, help us to have freedom from sin and trust in Your love always. Amen.

Your recent articles on Central Carolina Hospital’s chest pain accreditation told only a small part of a much larger story. As one of the 2,500 people in the study, the next 96 hours were equally important to me and other patients. Within one hour of admission on a Friday evening, the cardiologist who had admitted me two-and-ahalf years earlier for a heart attack, was in the ER and had reviewed all test results and my prior history. Blood work indicated a possible gall bladder problem. Subsequent blood work on Friday night continued to indicate that it was not a heart problem. On Saturday, a series of imaging tests were conducted that clearly showed a gall bladder problem and no sign of heart stress. On Saturday night, the surgeon who was to remove my gall bladder stopped in, and we discussed the procedure and consequences. Throughout this time, I was frequently visited by a hospitalist, who is an MD assigned to coordinate all procedures for admitted patients. We spent a number of hours together during my stay, and it was very beneficial in understanding what was going on and why. Surgery was scheduled for Monday at noon, with a stress test at 7 a.m. The admitting cardiologist and nurse were present for the stress test. Based on the stress test and other cardiac tests, I was informed that my heart was OK for surgery. During surgery, a previously undiagnosed hernia was discovered. This was repaired, and according to the surgeon, was more complex than the gall bladder. I was supposed to be released Tuesday morning, but a prostate problem, unrelated to the surgeries, caused a delay. Around noon, a urological surgeon stopped in, prescribed a successful treatment and I was on my way home at 6 p.m. in time for Christmas. During this hospitalization, I came in direct contact with perhaps 50 members of CCH. Everyone of them was professional, friendly and helpful. I always felt like a person, not a job. The food services were also great. They listen and respond. I’ve written this letter to help inform our community that CCH is a valuable resource. There are a number of major medical centers close by and they have fantastic teams of specialists. However, based on personal experiences and those of close relatives, if you have complications unrelated to the original diagnosis, you have to wade through a bureaucracy to receive treatment. Thank you, CCH, for your contributions to our community. CONRAD McCRACKEN Sanford

betterment of ourselves,” said junior Aiesha Burrell. “We want to do something for ourselves to make us feel better.” For their second meeting, the girls visited the Clinique counter at Belk in the Riverbirch Shopping Center Wednesday for makeup tips and lessons on skin care. Clinique counter manager Karen Meadors said she was excited to help the students learn more about their skin and makeup application. “It’s just great that they want to do this to make an impact on the world,” Meadors said. Junior Kiana Brown called Meadors to set up the appointment and it’s handled by the student for a reason: “The whole push is to get these girls to feel comfortable doing stuff like this,” Meadors said.

Learning how to treat their skin and properly apply makeup is a wonderful move for teenage girls, said Clinique consultant Mary Ellen Simmons. “We’re emphasizing just good hygiene ... we’d rather teach you how to do it for you,” she said. “It’s so good to get them in here young. They’re doing their skin a huge service.” The girls answered questions about their skin type before cleansing their faces in preparation to apply makeup. Meadors told the girls she wants to make sure their skin is pretty enough so they won’t need to wear a lot of makeup. “I can see you bare, Kiana!” Work said to Brown, laughing. For future meetings,

symptoms. “At present, there is no cure. But (group leader) Bob (Brickhouse) always says, there is no cure yet,” Siler said. Clyde Rhyne, who has Parkinson’s, said he believes the public doesn’t know enough about the disease, and he’d like to see others learn about it. “They don’t know a darn thing,” Siler seconded.

the group plans to visit Mrs. Lacy’s Magnolia House and host guest speakers who can talk about career building, Burrell said. The girls also must maintain a 2.5 grade point average to remain in the group, and they plan to tutor each

other if school help is needed. “I really didn’t think it would take off as fast as it did,” Work said. “They were so eager and excited about it. It’s nice to know that these girls wanted to learn this.” The group is a posi-

tive thing for the girls, and Work is happy to be involved. “I think it increases their self-esteem. It really makes them feel better,” Work said. “I think when you’re given any special attention, it’s like a pat on the shoulder.”

with the disease manageable, the members said. They joked that only intelligent people are affected by Parkinson’s. “You can’t lose your mind if you didn’t have one to start with,” Siler cracked, as the room erupted with giggles. “You have to have (a sense of humor),” said Carol Willamer, whose husband has Parkinson’s. “A lot of it is attitude.” Members appreciate the camaraderie the group brings, and the ability to share stories in

a light-hearted environment. “I’ve got everything but cancer, I believe. I’ve found a lot of consolation with the people in this group,” said Vernon Morin. As members discussed various symptoms of Parkinson’s, others chimed in, mentioning that they too had experienced something similar. “They’re finding out as much as they can about Parkinson’s in general and how they fit into the equation,” Brickhouse said. The

exchange of information is positive for the group members, who can take what they’ve learned and discuss it with their doctor, he said. “We feel for the other person. We can’t do anything about it, but we feel for them,” Siler said. “Most of us get it when we get some age on us.” All agreed that knowing there are others who experience something similar is comforting. “You’re not so alone as you thought you were,” said Ilene Rominger, who has the disease.

The move gives more discretionary power to administration, who can make their own calls when enforcing the dress code or even developing academic attire policies at individual schools. “We want the principals to enforce it at their own schools,” added board member Frank Thompson. Tatum said he and Thompson, when running for school board, promised to run on a platform that they would not micromanage. “I think your committee is to be commended for putting the onus back to the superintendent,” Tatum told Thompson. Thompson said he believes it’s “most difficult” to develop a blanket dress code for pre-kindergarten to twelfth grade. “We had a group of teachers and principals in a discussion,” Thompson said. “I think the basic thing is right now, they want us to enforce what we already have.” But down the road, they may take another look at the policy, Tatum said. “I’m comfortable with the direction the committee and the board took,” Moss said. “It gives us clear direction that they’d like to see consistent consequences for students who violate the dress code.” Maintaining the same standard in consequences among the schools is key, Moss said. “They reinstated that they support parental involvement,” Moss said. “I’d say probably that the ad hoc committee was on a listening, fact-finding tour.”

STATE BRIEFS Man found guilty of murder in road rampage

Personal care services review back on hold

Biden to visit green manufacturer By EMERY P. DALESIO AP Business Writer

FAYETTEVILLE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A North Carolina man who went on a rampage in van, killing one pedestrian and hurting four others, has been found guilty of eight charges, including murder. Multiple media outlets reported Wednesday a jury deliberated four days before finding 31-year-old Abdullah El-Amin Shareef of Raeford guilty in the 2004 death. Shareef also was found guilty of seven other charges, including attempted murder, related to the 40-mile rampage between Fayetteville and Wake County. Shareef had pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. His attorneys have said he suffered from untreated paranoid schizophrenia at the time, and psychologists testified Shareef was psychotic shortly after the incident.

Family sues company that makes Taser guns

RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A North Carolina appeals court has delayed an effort by Medicaid officials to review and reduce personal care services for thousands of people living at home. The state Court of Appeals has blocked a judgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s order last week that said an administrative law judge didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have jurisdiction to decide if the state can review care for more than 30,000 patients. Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision means the administrative judgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s order will stay in place, blocking the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Medicaid office patient review while the appeals court examines the case. In-home care providers complain the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s review is unlawful because other measures werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tried first to reduce spending by $40 million.

Trial starts for soldier acquitted in 3 deaths

CHARLOTTE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A maker of electronic stun guns is being sued by the family of a North Carolina teen killed after he was shocked with one of the weapons. The Charlotte Observer reported the lawsuit was filed Tuesday in federal court and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t list a specific monetary amount. The lawsuit says Taser International didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t warn its customers that the weapon could be lethal if deployed near the chest. Seventeen-year-old Darryl Wayne Turner died of cardiac arrest in March 2008 after a confrontation with police at a grocery store where Turner had worked. The city of Charlotte paid $625,000 to Turnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family last August, although the city didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t admit wrongdoing. A spokesman for Taser International says the Arizonabased company doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t comment on pending litigation, but stands behind the safety of its products.

FORT BRAGG â&#x20AC;&#x201D; An Army prosecutor on Wednesday methodically laid out the case against a 51-year-old soldier recalled to active duty so he could be tried a third time in the death of a woman and her two daughters about 25 years ago. Capt. Nate Huff waited until the close of his half-hour presentation before explaining to the military jury that new DNA evidence had been found that indicated Master Sgt. Timothy Hennis had sex with Katie Eastburn. Eastburn, 31, and her 5-year-old and 3-year-old daughters, were killed at their Fayetteville home in 1985. Only Eastburnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 22month-old daughter, Jana, was left unharmed in her crib. The bodies were discovered days later by neighbors. Hennis, who had adopted the Eastburnsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; dog several days before the killings, was arrested four days after the bodies were found.

Companies in 43 states are sharing $2.3 billion in tax credits. Some of the credits are going to U.S. subsidiaries of foreign companies, like $51 million for a unit of Danish wind turbine maker Vestas to build blades and towers in Colorado. Some are going to small companies, like Dayton, Ohio-based Acutemp, which will increase hiring beyond its staff of about 100 as it increases

manufacturing of vacuum insulation panels for home refrigerators. Cree is getting $39 million to boost production of LEDs, semiconductor chips that produce light as electricity passes through alignments of chemicals. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re widely used from mobile phone displays to traffic signals. Over the next 20 years, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll become common in lighting fixtures, an Energy Department report said last month.

Police reopen slaying case after man exonerated RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Raleigh police are not challenging the innocence of a North Carolina man exonerated of murder but want to test all evidence, including the clothing he wore when the victim died, as part of their plans to reopen the case, the chief said Wednesday. Chief Harry Dolan said last monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exoneration of Greg Taylor by a threejudge panel means the investigation of the murder of Jacquetta Thomas in September 1991 must be reopened. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The three-judge

panelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s declaration of Mr. Gregory Taylorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s innocence is final and not being disputed,â&#x20AC;? Dolan said in a statement. Taylor served more than 16 years in prison before his groundbreaking exoneration in February that was the result of the only state-run agency in the country dedicated to investigating claims of innocence. Taylor said Tuesday that he agreed to the testing as a way to prove his innocence in the beating death once and for all. He said Wednesday he still feels â&#x20AC;&#x153;awkward because

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been declared innocent but yet I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel like Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m being treated that way.â&#x20AC;? The chief said all the evidence is being retested using the latest science and technology at the request of team of detectives heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assembled to reinvestigate the case. Police â&#x20AC;&#x153;will need everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cooperation as we conduct a complete and comprehensive reinvestigation of the murder,â&#x20AC;? Dolan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ms. Thomas and her family deserve no less.â&#x20AC;? Dolanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s statement was cold comfort to Thomasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

sister, Yolanda Littlejohn of Garner, who said the police did not contact the family about the plans to reopen the case or even after her sister died. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Instead of moving forward to find her killer, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going backwards to test the clothing,â&#x20AC;? she said Wednesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not in the best interest of us.â&#x20AC;? Despite her reservations, Littlejohn said she supported the overall idea of reopening the investigation of her sisterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s murder. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I do believe a good investigation can be done,â&#x20AC;? she said.

DURHAM â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Vice President Joe Biden plans to visit a North Carolina maker of light-producing semiconductor chips that the Obama administration is offering as an example of the potential for job growth in manufacturing energy-efficient products. Biden and Energy Secretary Steven Chu were scheduled to visit the headquarters and factory of Cree Inc. on Thursday. The Durham-based company has hired about 375 workers since last summer to design, produce and sell its energy-efficient lighting. The White House says boosting manufacturing in renewable and energyefficiency technologies like Creeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s light-emitting diodes will create jobs for products growing in demand as worldwide pressure builds to use fewer fuels blamed for global warming. When its CEO was invited to the White House last summer, President Barack Obama called Cree one â&#x20AC;&#x153;of the most innovative energy companies in Americaâ&#x20AC;? and clean-energy manufacturing â&#x20AC;&#x153;a sector that represents a big piece of Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economic

dez, Alaska. But the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s optimism for the potential of energy-efficient lighting started building early in President George W. Bushâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s administration. Cree has received at least $8.5 million in federal research funds in the last decade. Not everyone agrees with the federal governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s involvement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The central planners in Washington, they discount the ability of private markets to come up with new technologies without subsidies,â&#x20AC;? said Chris Edwards, an economist with the libertarian Cato Institute. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m against all sorts of tax credits like this. How are we ever to find out which energy technologies are most efficient if the government is choosing some to subsidize over others?â&#x20AC;? Energy subsidies in particular have an â&#x20AC;&#x153;appalling history of wasteâ&#x20AC;? that distort supply and demand, whether nuclear power, petroleum or alternative energies, Edwards said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What if we find out that LEDs donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work very well?â&#x20AC;? Edwards said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What if the manufacturing creates new problems? Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got this sector of the economy thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hooked on these tax credits.â&#x20AC;?

HEALTH CARE OVERHAUL

Bill gains ground; weekend vote likely Senate OKs jobs By DAVID ESPO AP Special Correspondent

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama’s sweeping health care legislation won precious support from a longtime liberal holdout in the House on Wednesday and from Catholic nuns representing dozens of religious orders, gaining fresh traction in the run-up to a climactic weekend vote. “It’s a good sign,” said Obama, two weeks after taking personal command of a campaign to enact legislation in what has become a virtual vote of confidence in his stillyoung presidency. After days of secretive meetings, Democratic officials said they hoped to release the wording of the final legislation within hours, pending final cost and deficit-reduction estimates from the Congressional Budget Office. The long-anticipated measure is actually the second of two bills that Obama hopes lawmakers will send him in coming days, more than a year after he urged Congress to remake the nation’s health care system. The first cleared the Senate late last year but went no further because House Democrats demanded significant changes — the very types of revisions now being packaged into the second bill. Together, the measures are designed to extend coverage to more than 30 million who now lack it and ban the insurance industry from denying

David Dreier, R-Calif. take part in the committee’s hearing on Capitol Hill in Washington Wednesday. coverage on the basis of pre-existing medical conditions. Obama also has asked lawmakers to slow the growth of medical spending generally, a far more difficult goal to achieve. Rep. Dennis Kucinich’s announcement in the Capitol made him the first Democrat to declare he would vote in favor of the legislation after voting against an earlier version, and he stressed he was still dissatisfied with key parts. “I know I have to make a decision, not on the bill as I would like to see it but as it is,” said the Ohio lawmaker, who twice ran for president advocating national health care. “If my vote is to be counted, let it now count for passage of the bill, hopefully in the direction of comprehensive health care reform.” Referring to the political struggle under way, Kucinich said, “You do have to be very careful that the potential of President Obama’s

presidency not be destroyed by this debate. Even though I have many differences with him on policy, there’s something much bigger at stake here for America.” Obama lobbied Kucinich heavily for his vote, including aboard Air Force One earlier in the week on a trip to northeastern Ohio for a presidential speech. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said Kucinich’s switch was important not only for itself, “but also on the outside,” with liberal groups still unhappy the bill doesn’t create a government-run insurance option. Republicans are opposed to the legislation, arguing it still amounts to a government takeover of health care, largely paid for through higher taxes and deep cuts in Medicare that will harm seniors. In recent days, they have also turned their criticism on Pelosi, who says the House may approve the Senate-

passed bill without casting a separate vote on it. Instead, under a rule that would itself be subject to a vote, it would be considered passed automatically if the second fix-it bill passed. This approach has been used numerous times in recent years by both political parties, but Republicans added it to their list of grievances as they sought to send Obama’s top domestic priority down to defeat. “The only way to stop this madness is for a few courageous Democrats to step forward and stop it,” said Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the Senate GOP leader. “Historians will remember this as a new low in this debate, the week that America was introduced to the schemeand-deem approach to legislating. They’ll remember this as the week that Congress tried to pull the wool over the eyes of the public in order to get around their will.” Without disclosing details, Democrats say the fix-it bill would add funds to federal subsidies designed to make health care more affordable for the working poor and middle class, to benefit states that already meet standards the bill sets for health care for the poor and to gradually close a gap in Medicare prescription drug coverage known as the doughnut hole. The revisions are also expected to repeal a Nebraska-only increase in federal Medicaid funds that cleared the Senate, a provision that became politically toxic as news of it spread last year. Shortly after Kucinich’s announcement, a letter was released from leaders of 60 women’s religious orders urging lawmakers to vote for the legislation.

bill for Obama’s signature By ANDREW TAYLOR Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON — Companies that hire unemployed workers will get a temporary payroll tax holiday under a bill that easily won congressional approval Wednesday in what Democrats hope is just the first of several election-year measures aimed at boosting hiring. The 68-29 bipartisan vote in the Senate sent the legislation to the White House, where President Barack Obama was expected to sign it into law Thursday. Eleven Republicans voted for the legislation, an impressive tally considering the politically charged atmosphere on Capitol Hill. It was the first of several jobs bills promised by Democrats, though there’s plenty of skepticism that the measure will do much to actually create jobs. Optimistic estimates predict the tax break could generate perhaps 250,000 jobs through the end of the year, but that would be just a tiny fraction of the 8.4 million jobs lost since the start of the recession. The measure is part of a campaign by Democrats to show that they are addressing the nation’s unemployment problem, but that message was overshadowed by Congress’ feverish final push to pass health care overhaul legislation by this weekend. “It is the first of what I hope will be a series of jobs packages that help to continue to put people back to work,” Obama

said after the vote. The bill contains about $18 billion in tax breaks and a $20 billion infusion of cash into highway and transit programs. Among other things, it exempts businesses that hire people who have been unemployed for at least 60 days from paying the 6.2 percent Social Security payroll tax through December and gives employers an additional $1,000 credit if new workers stay on the job a full year. Taxpayers will have to reimburse Social Security for the lost revenue. “This is just the first, certainly not the last, piece of legislation that we will put forward in relation to jobs,” said its sponsor, Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. “If we don’t create jobs, the economy will not move forward.” It also extends highway and mass transit programs through the end of the year and pump in $20 billion in time for the spring construction season. That money would make up for lowerthan-expected gasoline tax revenues. The measure is modest compared with last year’s $862 billion economic stimulus bill, and the bulk of the hiring tax breaks would probably go to companies that were likely to hire new workers anyway. “Until business picks up for small business owners, there’s not going to be a huge incentive to add new workers,” said Bill Rys of the National Federation of Independent Business, which lobbies for small business.

TOYOTA RECALL

NATION BRIEFS

More than 100 complaints lodged over fix By KEN THOMAS Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Complaints of sudden acceleration in Toyotas repaired under recalls have nearly doubled in the past two weeks, according to an Associated Press analysis of government data. The complaints from 105 drivers raise questions about whether Toyotaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s repairs will prevent the cars from speeding up on their own or if there is another reason for the problem. Toyota has said it is confident in its repairs and has found no evidence of other problems, such as faulty electronics. The automaker did not immediately comment Wednesday on the latest complaints. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said it was contacting owners who have complained about their repaired vehicles. David Strickland, NHTSAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s administrator, said in a statement Wednesday the agency has found â&#x20AC;&#x153;sev-

He said NHTSA has discussed the issue with Toyota, which is trying to improve instructions to dealers. Toyota has recalled more than 8 million vehicles worldwide since October over complaints that gas pedals can become sticky or trapped under floor mats. An AP review of a NHTSA database found reports

of repaired cars continuing to accelerate on their own had jumped to 105 since March 4, when the government reported 60 such complaints. The complaints are submitted online or through a NHTSA hot line and have not been independently verified. In many of the comments, which can be filed anonymously, owners said the sudden acceleration issue reappeared only days after their cars were fixed at their local dealer-

ship. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I went in for the recall and it seems there is a worse problem now,â&#x20AC;? wrote the owner of a 2008 Toyota Tundra in Boynton Beach, Fla., who reported unwanted acceleration in early March. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I truly believe this is an electronic problem.â&#x20AC;? John Moscicki, of Lake Oswego, Ore., told the AP his 2007 Camry accelerated on its own five times before he got the vehicle fixed under the floor mat recall last month. On March 4, his repaired Camry took off from a standing stop on the freeway and accelerated to 50 mph before Moscicki managed to stop it by shifting into neutral, hitting the brake with his left foot and pulling back the gas pedal with his right. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It just went to the floor like some other system had control of it,â&#x20AC;? said Moscicki, who raced high-performance sports cars and previously owned a Porsche restoration business.

Toyota official: Prius in NY crash yielding data HARRISON, N.Y. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Investigators from Toyota and the U.S. government inspected a crashed 2005 Prius in a suburb of New York City on Wednesday to see if a black box-like device or its wreckage could point to problems with the brakes or accelerator. The black box, known as an event data recorder, yielded information on engine speed and pedal position, Toyota Motor Corp. spokesman Wade Hoyt said. Investigators were still downloading additional data, he said. A housekeeper who was driving the car told police that it sped up on its own as she eased forward down her employerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s driveway on March 9 and hit a wall across the street. She was not hurt. Harrison Police Department Capt. Anthony Marraccini said driver error had not been ruled out or indicated.

Prescription-drug heists on the rise WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The $75 million heist at a pharmaceutical warehouse in Connecticut this week was just the most audacious example of a growing phenomenon: Thieves are stealing large quantities of prescription drugs for resale on the black market. Pharmaceutical heists in the U.S. have quadrupled since 2006, a coalition of industry and law enforcement

estimates. And experts say the reasons include spotty security and high drug prices that can make such thefts extremely lucrative. While some stolen pills wind up overseas, others show up on pharmacy shelves in the U.S. with fake labels and lot numbers. The theft from an Eli Lilly & Co. warehouse early Sunday is the largest of its kind on record and attests to the growing sophistication of those who pull off such crimes.

Fed boss makes case to keep all banking duties WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke on Wednesday urged Congress not to scale back the Fedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regulatory authority over banks. He said the Fed needs the information it gleans from its bank oversight to set interest rates and gauge the health of the banking system. A Senate bill to overhaul financial regulation would strip the Fed of its power to supervise state-chartered banks and bank holding companies with assets of less than $50 billion. That would leave the Fed to oversee only 35 big bank holding companies. Critics have blamed lax regulation at the Fed and at other agencies for contributing to the financial crisis. Testifying to the House Financial Services Committee, Bernanke once again acknowledged that the Fedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s past regulatory failures played a role in the crisis.

Black people must leave, Walmart announcer says

WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP, N.J. (AP) — An announcement at a Walmart store in New Jersey ordering black people to leave brought chagrin and apologies Wednesday from leaders of the company, which has built a fragile trust among mi-

nority communities. A male voice came over the public-address system Sunday evening at a store in Washington Township in southern New Jersey and calmly announced: “Attention Walmart customers: All black people leave the store now.”

Shoppers in the store at the time said a manager quickly got on the public address system and apologized for the remark. And while it wasn’t clear whether a rogue patron or an employee was responsible for the comment, many

customers expressed their anger to store management. “I want to know why such statements are being made, because it flies in the face of what we teach our children about tolerance for all,” said Sheila Ellington, of Monroe. She

and her friend, Patricia Covington, were in the store at the time and have said they now plan to boycott the retailer. Officials with WalMart Stores Inc., based in Bentonville, Ark., said that the announcement was “unacceptable.”

BRIEFS Sandbags on hand, Red River area waits for flood

FARGO, N.D. (AP) — Schoolchildren, parents and hundreds of residents have spent days packing and stacking sandbags to protect their cities against the rising Red River. The National Guard is in place, keeping watch over the water. Dike builders are finishing last-minute work. Now comes the difficult part for residents of Fargo and neighboring Moorhead, Minn., who must wait to find out if all of their efforts are enough to hold back the water. “It’s hard to tell how this one is going to end up,” Ed Farley said after he and other volunteers wrapped up construction of a sandbag dike behind his family’s home in south Moorhead. “You’ve always got some concerns.” Volunteers filled their 1 millionth sandbag Wednesday as the river rose above 30 feet — considered major flood stage — on its way to an expected crest of about 38 feet Sunday that could swamp roads and threaten some neighborhoods. “I’ve only slept a couple of hours since Monday,” said Farley, 57, a farmer from Felton, Minn., who sported head-to-toe mud and a threeday beard. “I figure I probably won’t be able to shave for quite a while. It grows fast when you’re working.” Officials, meanwhile, exuded confidence.

Research monkey deaths prompt calls for crackdown

SPARKS, Nev. (AP) — Workers at a Nevada research lab were checking on a primate room when they came across a ghastly sight: Thirty dead monkeys were essentially cooked alive after someone left the heater on. Two others were near death and had to be euthanized. At a lab run by the same company, a monkey died last year after it was sent through a washer while still in its cage. The temperatures were so scalding the monkey never had a chance. The two cases have led to calls for greater oversight and enforcement of the animal research industry after an alarmingly high number of deaths in recent years. Critics say fines for violations at animal research labs are so puny that they do nothing to deter violations. The lab where the monkeys died in Nevada was fined a mere $14,000 for the two incidents, according to records from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

More pet owners report injuries from skin products

WASHINGTON (AP) — Products intended to treat cats and dogs for fleas and ticks kill hundreds of pets each year and injure tens of thousands, the Environmental Protection Agency said Wednesday as it outlined plans to make the products safer. The EPA said it will develop stricter testing and evaluation requirements for flea and tick treatments that are applied to a pet’s skin. The agency also will begin reviewing labels to determine which ones need to say more clearly how to use the products. The EPA’s effort follows increasing complaints from pet owners that the “spoton” products have triggered reactions in dogs and cats, ranging from skin irritation to neurological problems to deaths. Cats and small dogs appear particularly vulnerable, the EPA said, especially when given products intended for larger animals. Steve Owens, assistant administrator of EPA’s Office of Prevention, Pesticides and Toxic Substances, said new restrictions will be placed on flea and tick products, with additional changes for specific products likely — including possible changes in some product formulas.

E-BRIEFS

Woody, Buzz face abandonment issues By DAVID GERMAIN AP Movie Writer

LAS VEGAS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Playtime is over for Woody the cowboy, Buzz Lightyear and friends. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Toy Story 3,â&#x20AC;? which screened Tuesday for theater owners attending their annual ShoWest convention, poses a new question for the gang from the 1995 hit that launched computer animation into the feature-film world: Is there life for a toy after your kid grows up? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Come on, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s see how much weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going for on eBay,â&#x20AC;? laments John Ratzenbergerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hamm the Piggy Bank as he and the other toys ponder a lonely future, with their owner, Andy, heading to college and leaving them behind. Though the film is not yet finished, with much of the animation still in rough form, the screening provided a sneak peek for one of summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most anticipated releases. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The youngest kids who saw â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Toy Storyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Toy Story 2â&#x20AC;&#x2122; when they first came out are now kind of heading off to college. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the position Andyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very strange and nostalgic for people to see this character that is part of their childhood kind of growing up with them and facing the same life changes,â&#x20AC;? said â&#x20AC;&#x153;Toy Story 3â&#x20AC;? director Lee Unkrich,

Those are major transitions. Our characters in their own way are dealing with similar transitions,â&#x20AC;? Unkrich said in an interview after the screening. For Andyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite playthings, Woody and Buzz (voiced again by Tom Hanks and Tim Allen), the transition threatens to end their long partnership as the toys argue over what steps would be best for their future. Due in theaters June 18, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Toy Story 3â&#x20AC;? also

features returning voice cast members that include Joan Cusack, Don Rickles and Wallace Shawn. Among new voice co-stars are Whoopi Goldberg, Ned Beatty, Timothy Dalton and Michael Keaton. Their ranks thinned over the years as some of their friends were thrown away, donated or â&#x20AC;&#x153;yardsaled,â&#x20AC;? Andyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s toys face their own mortality â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that moment when they ask themselves what reason they have to exist without a child to play with them. The toysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; new adventures take them to a seeming paradise, a day-care center with a never-ending supply of kids. But there they find a rigid regime run by a cuddly but deceptive teddy bear who decrees what toys will end up with the gentler older

children and what ones will be tormented as â&#x20AC;&#x153;toddler fodder.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Toy Story 3â&#x20AC;? is the 11th feature film from Disneyowned Pixar Animation, which recently won its latest Academy Award with last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blockbuster â&#x20AC;&#x153;Up.â&#x20AC;? Pixar films have won five of the nine Oscars for feature-length animation since the category was added (the other winners are â&#x20AC;&#x153;Finding Nemo,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Incredibles,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ratatouilleâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;WALL-Eâ&#x20AC;?). Pixar personnel knew as far back as 1999â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Toy Story 2â&#x20AC;? that they might want to return for another sequel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make sequels just for the sake of making them, but in this case, we truly loved these characters and this world,â&#x20AC;? Unkrich said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the foundation of our company. We think of them as people. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think of them just as cartoon characters, and so we really wanted to visit that world again. But we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to do it if we couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come up with something great.â&#x20AC;? The key creative team at Pixar gathered for a twoday retreat at the same cabin where they cooked up the original â&#x20AC;&#x153;Toy Story.â&#x20AC;? They had been kicking around an idea for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Toy Story 3â&#x20AC;? for years, but they quickly realized it would not hold up as a feature film.

Brand-new sitcoms prep to join TV Land classics NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; When TV Land was launched in 1996, it was more than just another cable channel. It was a refuge where viewers could revisit old friends like Beaver White Cleaver, the Clampetts and Sheriff Andy Taylor. It was a portal into a video past, a carefully tended landscape of idealized TV. TV Land hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t trampled on that landscape in the meantime. But, even so, the neighborhood has been spruced up through the years. Consider â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hot in Cleveland,â&#x20AC;? a comedy series set for a June premiere. For the first time, TV Land is producing its own original sitcom. But â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hotâ&#x20AC;? should fit right into the neighborhood. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s funny, comfy and a trueblue reflection of the shows that surround it. Filmed in the trusty multicamera style, it stars a bevy of grand dames of classic comedies: Valerie Bertinelli (â&#x20AC;&#x153;One Day at a Timeâ&#x20AC;?), Jane Leeves (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Frasierâ&#x20AC;?), Wendy Malick (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just Shoot Meâ&#x20AC;?) and the incomparable Betty White (â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Golden Girlsâ&#x20AC;?). The premise is evergreen: Fabulous friends make an abrupt life change, cutting their Los Angeles roots to relocate in, of all places, Cleveland. Then laughs ensue (at least judging from

Girlfriend of Michael Douglasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; son sentenced

NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The girlfriend of actor Michael Douglasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wayward son was freed Tuesday after spending seven months in jail for becoming embroiled in Cameron Douglasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; downward spiral with drugs. A judge in federal court in Manhattan sentenced Kelly Sott to time served for misdemeanor drug possession. She had pleaded guilty last month. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I learned a good lesson,â&#x20AC;? Sott told the judge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just want to leave all that behind me â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the drugs. ... Thank you for giving me a second chance.â&#x20AC;? Sottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lawyer said her time behind bars had given her a chance to kick a drug habit she picked up amid her distress over losing two friends in the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks. As part of her sentence, the judge ordered her to undergo drug treatment and counseling for a year after she returns to her home in Pennsylvania. Federal agents arrested Sott last summer after she was caught trying smuggle heroin to Cameron Douglas â&#x20AC;&#x201D; an admitted drug addict and dealer who was under house arrest at the time â&#x20AC;&#x201D; inside an electric toothbrush. The son of the Academy Award winner was arrested July 28, 2009, at the trendy Hotel Gansevoort as part of a Drug Enforcement Administration investigation.

Hamlet returns to Met after 113 years NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Ambroise Thomasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hamletâ&#x20AC;? was last performed at the Metropolitan Opera in 1897, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to see why more than a century passed before its revival. Even with two outstanding singing actors in the lead roles, the work exudes at best a fragile charm, a refinement typical of French grand opera that is worlds apart from the visceral excitement Verdi summoned for his adaptations of Shakespearean tragedy, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Otelloâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Macbeth.â&#x20AC;? On Tuesday night, the Met brought back â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hamlet,â&#x20AC;? with one of the crucial ingredients for success â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the fine English baritone Simon Keenlyside as the tormented hero. He first sang the role in this production in Geneva in 1996, and his interpretation is riveting. He couples athletic agility and grace with a brooding intensity as Hamlet confronts his fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ghost and then resolves to kill Claudius, the uncle who usurped the throne. ** Planet 51: PG (10:20), 12:20, 5:25 ** Planet 51: PG (10:20), 12:20, 5:2

Court charges 5 Americans with terrorism By ZARAR KHAN Associated Press Writer

ISLAMABAD â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A Pakistani court charged five young Americans on Wednesday with planning terrorist attacks in the South Asian country and conspiring to wage war against nations allied with Pakistan, their defense lawyer said. The men â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all Muslims from the Washington suburb of Alexandria, Virginia â&#x20AC;&#x201D; pleaded not guilty to a total of five charges, the most severe of which carries a maximum sentence of life in prison, defense lawyer Hasan Dastagir told The Associated Press. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My clients were in good shape and high spirits,â&#x20AC;? Dastagir said. The men, all in their late teens or early 20s, were charged by an antiterrorism court inside a prison in Sargodha, the city in Punjab province where they were arrested in December. They were reported missing by their families in November after one left behind a farewell video showing

A scenes of war and casualties and saying Muslims must be defended. Their lawyer has said they were heading to Afghanistan and had no plans to stage attacks inside Pakistan. The court also charged the men with planning attacks on Afghan and U.S. territory, said Dastagir. The charges did not specify what was meant by U.S. territory but could be a reference to American bases or diplomatic outposts in Afghanistan.

Where do you go when you

The men also were charged with contributing cash to banned organizations to be used for terrorism and with directing each other to commit terrorist acts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This last charge carries life in prison while the rest of the charges have lesser punishments,â&#x20AC;? Dastagir said. The trial will begin on March 31, and the prosecution is slated to present more than 20 witnesses, Dastagir said. The defense plans to bring witnesses from

the U.S. and provide evidence of community service carried out by the men back home, Dastagir said. Pakistani police have publicly made several accusations against the young men, claiming the suspects contacted Pakistani-based jihadi groups. They accused the five of using the social networking site Facebook and video-sharing site YouTube while they were in the U.S. to try to connect with extremist groups in Pakistan. During past court hearings, the men have claimed they were tortured by Pakistani police and FBI agents. Pakistan and the U.S. have denied those allegations. Nihad Awad, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, said in a phone interview Wednesday from Washington that the parents of the five have received letters from their children detailing the alleged torture, including beatings and threats of electrocution.

Iraqi PM fights for survival as votes are counted BAGHDAD (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The man who has led Iraq for the past four years is battling for his political survival just as U.S. troops are getting ready to pack up and go home. With about 83 percent of the votes counted from parliamentary elections, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not at all clear that Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki will emerge the winner because a secular challenger is showing surprising strength. And a drawn-out battle of negotiations with rival coalitions is inevitable. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Al-Maliki is fighting for his political life,â&#x20AC;? said Joost Hiltermann, an analyst at the International Crisis Group. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He may well come out of this no longer prime minister. He may lose the elections, that is how close it is.â&#x20AC;? The prime minister, known as a hardline Shiite during his first couple of years in power, has more recently transformed himself into a law-and-order nationalist who has occasionally reached out to minority Sunnis. While trying to re-establish a strong central government â&#x20AC;&#x201D; most notably by routing a Shiite militia that ruled parts of

Baghdad and Iraqâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s secondlargest city, Basra â&#x20AC;&#x201D; al-Maliki has also alienated many key constituencies by governing with a heavy hand.

Yemen-American imam calls for U.S. Muslim revolt

CAIRO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A YemeniAmerican Muslim preacher known for his ties to extremists operating in the U.S. called on American Muslims in a new audio message to turn against their government because of its actions against Muslims around the world. Anwar al-Awlakiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest message, excerpts of which were aired on CNN Wednesday, described his own radicalization after U.S. operations against Muslims and called on those in the U.S. to follow his path. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I eventually came to the conclusion that jihad against America is binding upon myself just as it is binding on every other Muslim,â&#x20AC;? he said in his American-accented English. SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors extremist Web Sites, confirmed the existence of the audio message when contacted by The Associated Press.

JORDAN’S BOBCATS BID APPROVED BY NBA BOARD

CHARLOTTE (AP) — Michael Jordan became a basketball star at North Carolina. Now he’ll try to turn around the state’s moneylosing NBA team by becoming the first ex-player to be a majority owner in the league. The NBA’s Board of Governors on Wednesday unanimously approved Jordan’s $275 million bid to buy the Charlotte Bobcats from Bob Johnson. Jordan will immediately take over the team after functioning as a minority investor with the final say on basketball decisions since 2006. “Purchasing the Bobcats is the culmination of my post-playing career goal of becoming the majority owner of an NBA franchise,” Jordan said in a statement. “I am especially pleased to have the opportunity to build a winning team in my home state of North Carolina. “I plan to make this franchise an organization that Charlotte can be proud of, and I am committed to doing all that I can to achieve this goal.” The six-time NBA champion and five-time league MVP will be charged with turning around the fortunes of the 6-year-old Bobcats, who are on pace to lose about $30 million this season because of sluggish ticket and sponsorship sales.

NFL PANTHERS SIGN BRAYTON TO 3-YEAR DEAL

CHARLOTTE (AP) — The Carolina Panthers will have at least one starting defensive lineman returning next season after agreeing on a three-year deal with defensive end Tyler Brayton. Agent Tom Mills says the 30year-old Brayton visited Seattle and had conversations with Oakland and Jacksonville, but is happy to return to Carolina. Brayton signed a two-year contract before the start of the 2008 season and has started 31 games over the past two years. He was eighth on the team with 45 tackles last season and had five sacks.

Maples, Pats down Jackets SANFORD — Dylan Maples blasted two home runs and drove in three as Pinecrest clipped Lee County 5-2 in a nonconference baseball game Wednesday night. Lee County was held to just three hits and collected both if its runs in the fifth inning. Nick Durazo, Cody Palmer and Patrick Oldham each had a hit for the Yellow Jackets (2-2). “Pinecrest is a good program,” said Lee County coach Charlie Spivey. “I thought we

did a nice job defensively.” Joey Veckionne earned the win for Pinecrest with five innings of one-hit ball. Zac Bradford drove in a run with a bases-loaded walk in the fifth to trim the deficit to 4-2, but Maples belted a solo home run in the sixth for a little extra cushion. The Jackets defeated Middle Creek 3-1 on Tuesday night in Tri-9 Conference action. Lee County (2-1 in the Tri-9 Confer-

ence) finished with six hits and were led by Bradford, who was 2-for-3 with a double, a single and two RBI. Neal O’Quinn, Carson Wilson, Garrett Verrilli, Tyler Castleberry and Oldham each had a hit in the victory. On the mound, the Yellow Jackets were led by Dillon Frye, who struck out eight and allowed two walks in a complete game. Frye allowed three hits over the first three innings and did not allow another baserunner after that.

NCAA TOURNAMENT

Devils expect deep run By BRYAN STRICKLAND bstrickland@heraldsun.com

DURHAM — None of Duke’s current players has experienced the kind of deep NCAA Tournament run that they could look back upon fondly, but the now older and taller Blue Devils believe it could be a different story this season. Duke plays its first-round game against Arkansas-Pine Bluff, which beat Winthrop 61-44 in Tuesday night’s Singler opening-round game, on Friday in Jacksonville (7:25 p.m., WRAL). “Since J.J.’s senior year, this is our best team since then,” Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said Tuesday in reference to the J.J. Redick-led team that entered the 2006 NCAA Tournament ranked No. 1 in the nation. “The best thing is experienced talent. “I think it’s important to just be fresh and be yourself, and experience is always good.” In some ways, Krzyzewski was stating the obvious. The Blue Devils are a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2006, and they’re coming off their first ACC regular-season championship since ’06 as well. But it’s more than that, more than any record or ranking can communicate. The Blue Devils not only believe they can advance deeper than they have in recent years, they expect it. “Going into this tournament, we’re definitely more confident,” Duke junior Nolan Smith said. “We’re definitely better.” Where exactly is that confidence coming from? The obvious answer would be to

Rhode Island in a span of 3:07 which helped give the Rams a 34-28 lead. Richmond connected on all four of his 3-pointers during the run. Rhode Island’s Orion Outerbridge converted a three-point play with 1:04 left in the half to give Rhode Island a 37-30 lead at intermission.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of baseball. No big deal, no hard feelings. Just part of the game.â&#x20AC;? The 25-year-old Dukes was expected to be Washingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s starting right fielder this season, but the Nationals announced the decision before their exhibition game at the Houston Astros.

Anderson agrees to deal with Cards

TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Arizona Cardinals have come to terms on a twoyear contract with free agent quarterback Derek Anderson. The one-time Pro Bowl quarterback comes to Arizona as the Cardinals look for someone to compete with Matt Leinart, the only quarterback the team has under contract after Kurt Warnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s retirement. Anderson was released by Cleveland on March 9, ending an uneven five-year stint with the team.

Hanson sharp over 5 innings as Braves top Marlins

JUPITER, Fla. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Tommy Hanson pitched like he was in midseason form Wednesday for the Atlanta Braves.

Hanson allowed one run on six hits in five innings in Atlantaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 4-2 win over the Marlins. It was the longest outing of the spring for Hanson, projected to be Atlantaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s No. 3 starter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Really sharp. Best heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s looked all spring,â&#x20AC;? said manager Bobby Cox.

NASCAR adds pit stop to All-Star race CONCORD (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; NASCAR has added a mandatory four-tire pit stop to the format of the Sprint All-Star Race. The race will once again be decided by a 10-lap shootout to the finish. But, for the first time, teams will be required to enter pit road for a full stop. The order that cars exit pit road will determine how they line up for the sprint to the $1 million payout. NASCAR and series sponsor Sprint are constantly tweaking the All-Star race format to amp up the excitement of the event. Last year, Tony Stewart passed Matt Kenseth with two laps to go in the final sprint to win his first AllStar race.

Lee is in his first season with Seattle. The former AL Cy Young winner was ejected from Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game.

Tim Tebow holds on the ball as he looks down field for a receiver during Pro Day in Gainesville, Fla., Wednesday.

Tebow shows off new arm action GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Tim Tebowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest visit to Florida Field looked like most of the others. He was cheered, revered and pulled in every direction. This time, though, it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just screaming fans gushing over the former Heisman Trophy winner. The 2007 Heisman Trophy winner was the star attraction at Floridaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pro day Wednesday, receiving rave reviews from NFL scouts, coaches and general managers after he unveiled his new, compact throwing motion. The bulky left-hander threw dozens of passes to former teammates Riley Cooper, Aaron Hernandez and David Nelson during a 30-minute workout, spoke with several NFL execu-

Spoiler change coming at Martinsville

CONCORD (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; NASCAR will officially move from the wing to the more traditional spoiler at next weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race at Martinsville Speedway. Martinsville had been targeted for the transition, and NASCAR vice president of competition Robin Pemberton confirmed Wednesday that spoilers have been shipped to Sprint Cup teams and will be used for the first time at the Virginia short track. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as soon as we could be ready,â&#x20AC;? Pemberton said of selecting Martinsville for the spoiler. The spoiler was tested by 25 Cup teams on Tuesday at Talladega Superspeedway, and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a two-day test scheduled for next week at Charlotte Motor Speedway. NASCAR decided in January it would return the spoiler to the race cars, a decision based on improving the racing and pleasing fans who did not like the look of the wing. Officials told teams the spoiler will replicate the downforce and balance

that is being produced on the current car. NASCAR in 2007 phased in a new car that replaced the spoiler with a wing. Many drivers were slow to adapt to the new car, which went to

full-time use in 2008, and fans had claimed the car had made the racing boring. Through four races this season, the racing is much improved, but the spoiler is expected to turn it up another notch.

tives and even found time to play catch with a kid confined to a wheelchair. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He had a very, very good workout,â&#x20AC;? Carolina Panthers coach John Fox said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lack in the work ethic department, so whatever needs to be done, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll do. I definitely saw some adjustment and I thought he executed very well.â&#x20AC;? About 3,000 fans showed up despite cool temperatures and light rain. They cheered loudly as Tebow walked into The Swamp for the first time since his home finale in November, applauded every completion and groaned whenever a ball hit the ground â&#x20AC;&#x201D; surely blaming the receiver. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a little differ-

ent,â&#x20AC;? Cleveland Browns president Mike Holmgren said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think if it had been a sunny day, we might have filled this place.â&#x20AC;? Cornerback Joe Haden, defensive end Carlos Dunlap, linebacker Brandon Spikes, center Maurkice Pouncey, safety Major Wright and several others worked out before Tebow. Defensive end Jermaine Cunningham (shoulder), kick returner Brandon James (ankle) and linebacker Ryan Stamper (back) sat out with injuries. Haden and Dunlap improved their 40-yard dash times from the NFL combine â&#x20AC;&#x201D; both probably boosted their draft stock â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but Spikes failed to break the 5-second mark

on soggy grass. Their performances, though, were clearly overshadowed by Tebow. He spent the last two months fine-tuning his new motion, which includes smaller strides, holding the ball higher and eliminating that long, looping release that had experts cringing and analysts calling for him to move to tight end or H-back. He worked with longtime NFL assistant Zeke Bratkowski, former NFL coach Sam Wyche and former college/NFL assistant Marc Trestman.

point to the big three on the perimeter â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the combination of Smith, Jon Scheyer and Kyle Singler â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that just led the Blue Devils to the ACC Tournament title. But having three capable perimeter plays is nothing new for Duke. In 2009, the Blue Devils had Smith and Scheyer along with NBA lottery pick Gerald Henderson, and the year before that they had Scheyer, Henderson and DeMarcus Nelson. The difference, according to Scheyer, has to do with big men as much as it does a big three. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the most complete team Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been on since Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been here,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brian (Zoubek), first of all.

given our team a whole lot of confidence. Along with him, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lance [Thomas], and then with Miles and Mason (Plumlee) coming off the bench, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a dynamic that our team just hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had since Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been here. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our defensive rebounding keeps us in games when our offense isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t there, and when our offense is there, we have a chance to blow people out.â&#x20AC;? Dukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2006 team had All-American big man Shelden Williams to go with Redick. This team doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have that kind of presence in the post, but the collective impact may be even greater: Duke enters the postseason ranked 19th in the nation with a plus-5.9 rebounding margin per game, the biggest margin for a Duke team

since the 1998-99 squad that went 37-2 and made it to the NCAA title game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our bigs are playing well, and our perimeter plays both sides of the ball,â&#x20AC;? Singler said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just play hard, and we know what we have to do. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re older, and overall weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just better. We have more guys who can contribute.â&#x20AC;? While the Blue Devils are more confident and more complete than the past three Duke teams â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which lost in the first round in â&#x20AC;&#x2122;07, the second round in â&#x20AC;&#x2122;08 and the third round in â&#x20AC;&#x2122;09 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still important to remember that the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;06 team faltered in the third round, as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to take it one game at a time,â&#x20AC;?

Arkansas-Pine Bluff forward Lebaron Weathers shows off the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name on his jersey after Pine Bluff defeated Winthrop 61-44 in the NCAA college basketball tournament opening game Tuesday in Dayton, Ohio.

Will a 16 ever beat a No. 1? Not likely for No. 1 seeds against 16th seeds since the field expanded to 64 teams in 1985. Those unlucky 16s, sometimes schools you never heard of from small college towns across America, always think big even if they should pack light. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s likely oneand-doners: Lehigh, East Tennessee State, Vermont and Arkansas-Pine Bluff. Those four have a combined 17 tournament appearances. Top seeds Kansas, Kentucky, Syracuse and Duke have a total of 14 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as in NCAA national championships. All but the Wildcats have won a title in the past 10 years. Yet, the rallying cry from these small schools is the same every season: Why Not Us?

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The NCAA tournament is famous for the little guys shocking the marquee powerhouses and turning into the darlings of March. Upsets happen. In every region, every year. With one lopsided exception: No. 1 vs. No. 16. When brackets are e-mailed to the office staff after the 65-team field is set, typing the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wâ&#x20AC;? in that 1-16 matchup is about as automatic an annual occurrence as ringing in the New Year on Dec. 31. With good reason: The Washington Generals have better odds at victory over the Harlem Globetrotters than a No. 16 seed does over a No. 1. 100-0. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the career record

Why not indeed? Because if there was ever a bracket where the 1-16 matchup might merit a little more study, perhaps itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s this one: Syracuse vs. Vermont. After all, this upset has happened before, only five tournaments ago. In 2005, it was a 3-14 matchup. Win on Friday, and the Catamounts would not only add to their lore as Orange squeezers, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d pull off one of the monumental upsets in sports history. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I saw that name pop up, it fired me up a little bit,â&#x20AC;? said Andy Rautins, a fifth-year senior with the Orange who grew up in Syracuse. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think everybody around Syracuse took that loss to heart. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely going to be a payback

ATLANTA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Georgia Tech players have a strategy for NCAA tournament success. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re giving up their cell phones. The Yellow Jackets followed coach Paul Hewittâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suggestion to turn in their cell phones before last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Atlantic Coast Conference tournament. Some players were skeptical, and the vote wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t unanimous, but all players gave up their phones. Georgia Tech advanced to the ACC tournament championship game and now plan to be without their phones again before Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s firstround game against Oklahoma State in Milwaukee.

Seton Hall fires coach Gonzalez SOUTH ORANGE, N.J. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Seton Hall basketball coach Bobby Gonzalez has been fired. Patrick Hobbs, the university law school dean who has been overseeing the athletics department since July, said Wednesday that Gonzalez was let go for reasons other than his coaching record. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Performance and success are not measured solely by wins and losses, but also in the conduct of those associated with the program,â&#x20AC;? Hobbs said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have expectations as to how our coaches and players will conduct themselves, and they are expected to treat everyone they interact with, whether officials, the press or our students, with the utmost respect, maturity and professionalism. Those core expectations must be met.â&#x20AC;?

Deacs, Horns want to forget recent history

NEW ORLEANS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Perhaps Rick Barnes and Dino Gaudio should compare notes on how to pull a team out of a lateseason funk. The two coaches have similar challenges on their hands heading into Thursday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s matchup between eighth-seeded Texas and ninth-seeded Wake Forest in the NCAA tournamentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s East Regional. Barnesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Longhorns were once ranked No. 1 in the country before struggling through February and early March, and Gaudioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Demon Deacons have lost five of their last six, including a lopsided defeat to Miami in the ACC tournament. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The regular seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s over with. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s over and done with,â&#x20AC;? Barnes said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more mental this time of year than anything else.â&#x20AC;? Texas started 17-0 before fading. The Longhorns (24-9) barely finished above .500 in the Big 12 and appeared outmatched against teams like Kansas, Kansas State and resurgent Baylor. With defenses focusing on 6-foot-10, 290pound Dexter Pittman, Texas never did turn things

around in conference play and lost to Baylor 86-67 in the league tournament. Wake Forest (19-10) met a similar fate in the ACC tournament, and the 83-62 loss to lowly Miami gave the Demon Deacons another burden to carry into this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game. Wake Forest is also still smarting from a loss to 13th-seeded Cleveland State in last

Rutgers decides to give Fred Hill another year PISCATAWAY, N.J. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Fred Hill is getting another year to turn around Rutgersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; basketball program. Scarlet Knights athletic director Tim Pernetti said on Wednesday that he had met with Hill and that the coach will return for a fifth season. Rutgers posted a 15-17 record this past season, giving Hill a mark of 47-77. The Scarlet Knightsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 5-13 record in Big East play was their best under Hill.

Ex-Seton Hall player charged in armed robbery NEWARK, N.J. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A former Seton Hall basketball player has been arrested, accused of robbing a house full of people at gunpoint. Prosecutors in Essex County, N.J., say Robert Mitchell entered a house in South Orange on Monday and robbed eight people at gunpoint. He was arrested Tuesday in Newark and charged with robbery, kidnapping and burglary. All three offenses carry 10- to 20-year maximum prison sentences.

Ron Myres, D.V.M.

PROPER PET DENTAL CARE PREVENTS PROBLEMS Oral disease is the most frequently diagnosed health problem for pets. An astounding 80 percent of dogs and 70 percent of cats show signs of oral disease by age three, according to the American Veterinary Dental Society. All pets are at risk for developing dental problems. Once a pet displays any warning signs, including tooth loss; subdued behavior; abnormal drooling; bad breath; swallowing food whole; bleeding gums; yellow-brown crust on teeth; going to the food bowl and not eating; or change of chewing or eating habits; serious periodontal disease may be present. Pet owners can ask their veterinarians for a recommended preventive program, which may include frequent brushing, dental chews, dental diets, or even a dental cleaning procedure. Oral disease begins with a buildup of bacteria in the petâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mouth, leading to plaque and tartar. If plaque is not regularly removed from the teeth, infection may develop and cause periodontitis. The infection caused by periodontal disease often enters the bloodstream, potentially infecting the heart, lungs, liver and kidneys. Periodontitis is irreversible and may lead to other health problems, including red, swollen and tender gums, receding gums, bleeding, pain, bad breath and eventually tooth loss. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pets canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t talk or express their pain the way humans can, and dental disease often goes undetected for months or even years. Preventive care, dental cleanings and annual checkups are necessary to prevent dental disease and maintain a good quality of life for our pets,â&#x20AC;? says Ken Capron, D.V.M. at Capron Veterinary Hospital and Dental Clinic for Pets in Tulsa, Okla. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amazing how much better a pet feels after a dental cleaning and polishing.â&#x20AC;? Every health check visit to your veterinarian should include dialogue regarding your petâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dental health.

Secretary of Education Arne Duncan says college basketball teams that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t graduate at least 40 percent of their players should be banned from postseason play. Duncan said in remarks to be delivered in a conference call Wednesday that his idea represents a low bar and over time it should be raised. NCAA spokesman Bob Williams says a ban based on graduation rates unfairly penalizes current players for the academic performance of athletes from years ago. He says the NCAA already has a system in place that penalizes schools if they do not meet academic benchmarks.

NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The First Fan appears to be a big fan of basketball programs from Kansas. President Barack Obama predicted Kansas and Kansas State to join Kentucky and Villanova in the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball Final Four this season, with the Jayhawks defeating Kentucky for the title. Obama filled out a bracket for ESPN for the second straight year Wednesday. Last year, Obama correctly picked North Carolina to win the national championship. His bracket ranked 903,125th overall, just above the 80th percentile in ESPNâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s online contest. Obama predicted in January that Kentucky would reach the national championship game when he called coach John Calipari to congratulate the program on raising more than $1 million as part of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hoops for Haitiâ&#x20AC;? telethon. He also warned the Wildcats not to take success for granted. Kentucky had just reached No. 1 and, after the phone call, promptly lost to South Carolina. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They lost to the Gamecocks and I think that was a good lesson for them,â&#x20AC;? Obama told ESPNâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Andy Katz. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And I think Calipari will have them ready.â&#x20AC;?

Delhomme chose Browns for chance to start

BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Quarterback Jake Delhomme completed his visit to Cleveland last week and drove to the airport for a flight to New Orleans. He never made it. Travel delays forced Delhomme to return to Charlotte, N.C., where he chose to sign with the Browns without visiting his hometown Saints. The chance to start was more important than being a backup in his home state. “I had to decide if I wanted to still try to compete or if I wanted to hold a clipboard,” Delhomme said on Wednesday. “I just wasn’t ready for that.” Delhomme, who grew up in Breaux Bridge, La., and spent his first five years

with the Saints, would have been a backup to Drew Brees with the Super Bowl champions. In Cleveland, he is the favorite to win the starting job after team president Mike Holmgren and the Browns parted ways with Derek Anderson and Brady Quinn. Delhomme’s main competition will be Seneca Wallace, whom the Browns acquired in a trade with Seattle. Delhomme, 35, struggled through his worst season last year with the Carolina Panthers, throwing eight touchdowns and 18 interceptions. His season ended with a broken finger after 11 games and he was released earlier this month.

He also acknowledges the five-interception performance in a playoff loss to Arizona during the 2008 season carried over to the start of last year, when he threw four interceptions in the opener. “I didn’t play good football,” he said. “I’m not going to blame anybody else for anything. The 2009 year football-wise wasn’t fun. From January 10th, the playoff game, through when I broke my finger. I don’t think there’s any doubt I tried to do too much, and it didn’t work,

obviously.” Delhomme, who cried at his final press conference in Carolina, took a few days to get over the sting of being released. There were only two teams he wanted to visit — the Browns and Saints. Cleveland went 5-11 last year, but won its final four games after a tough start. Delhomme was impressed by the resolve the players showed in fighting back to salvage the season and compared it to his situation in Carolina. The Panthers went 7-9

in 2002, but won four of their last five games. Delhomme signed with Carolina following that season and led the Panthers to the Super Bowl in 2003. “You find a lot of teams that start 1-11, those bags are packed in December. Guys are ready to get out,” he said. “This team won the last four games. I’m telling

you, that’s something. Something was happening. Something was going in the right direction.” Holmgren earned the reputation as a quarterbacks guru after helping Brett Favre and Matt Hasselbeck develop into Pro Bowlers. Now he has a recovery project in Delhomme.

Happy Saint patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S Day!

Saint Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day is celebrated every year on March 17. This holiday celebrates the memory and life of Irelandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s patron saint, Saint Patrick. Saint Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day celebrations have been going on for hundreds and hundreds of years in Ireland, where it is considered a religious holiday. It has become a popular holiday even among those who do not celebrate its Christian meaning. In 1762, the first Saint Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day parade was held in New York City. The holiday has become known for the parades, as well as other traditions, such as wearing green (in order not to be pinched). Saint Patrick, or Patricius, was born in Britain in the early 400â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s A.D. as Maewyn Succat. (Succat took the name Patricius later in life when he entered a monastery.) As a young man he was kidnapped and taken to Ireland where he was forced into slavery. According to his own autobiography, The Confessio, he escaped when he was 22. It was at this time that he entered the monastery. After he left the monastery, he returned to Ireland as a missionary. He encountered some conflict with the local authority, The High King of Tare, but he later came to an agreement with the King and was allowed to freely spread his message of Christianity. Eventually, almost all of Ireland would convert from Druid paganism to Christianity. For this reason, Patricius was made a Saint. Legend has it that Saint Patrick died on March 17, 461 A.D. It was for this reason that March 17 was marked as a religious holiday honoring Saint Patrick.

Happy Birthday: Don’t let anyone stand in your way or limit what you can do or say. Do what’s best for yourself, without hesitation. A partnership must be evened out or left behind. Speak from the heart but don’t hold back how you feel. It’s time for you to put yourself first. Your numbers are 4, 15, 19, 23, 26, 37, 40 ARIES (March 21-April 19): You will be sensitive and will react quickly to the way people treat you. The changes or reforms you want to make will be met with opposition. The way you go about things will set the stage for what’s to come. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Explain your situation without giving away too much information. You may be asked to make a few changes but, if you are willing to compromise, you will reach an agreement that benefits everyone involved. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Put your Gemini charm to work and you can influence the outcome of a situation you face. Don’t let someone’s disgruntled response stop you from moving forward. A relationship with the potential to grow will sprout if you offer your services to a community group. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Keep your thoughts to yourself, especially if they could cause friction with someone at work or at home. Your reputation may be at risk if you meddle or spread rumors. An older friend or relative may need help. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You’ll be where the action is and can entice people to support your ideas and plans. Travel, intrigue and romance are all in the stars. Don’t be afraid to make demands and lay down some ground rules that position you well for the future. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Hold off making a decision if you feel some-

one is trying to railroad you into something that may not be good for you. Financial loss and additional burdens resulting from a mistake made long ago will actually lead to solutions. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Focus on what you can gain in the shortest period of time. If someone tries to influence you or push you to do something you don’t want to do, stick up for your rights and get back to your own projects and plans. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): A move or investment will give you a muchneeded boost. Now is not the time to beat around the bush -- say what’s on your mind, clear the air and make your move. Procrastination will be your enemy. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Don’t allow relatives and neighbors to bring you down or cause you grief. If you remain neutral, refusing to take part in an ugly discussion, you will come out unscathed. Problems while traveling can be expected. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): Do not give in, back down or ignore issues that must be dealt with. It may not be the nicest situation to be in but, if you use past experiences as an example, you will convince people you are dealing with to give you a chance. Your skills will leave a good impression. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18): It may be time to question your current direction. Don’t let depression set in when all that’s required is a couple of changes on your part. You have added discipline and you should be putting it to good use. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Impulsive acts and overspending will create a difficult situation. Before you do something you’ll regret, turn your attention to something productive and industrious. The choice is yours, so settle down and get to work.

DEAR ABBY: I’m writing to encourage “Wants to Do Right by Mama” (Jan. 25) to honor her mother’s final wishes regarding her burial attire and the position of her body. Several years ago, I sat down with my parents and we talked about their wishes for when they die. We discussed everything from the distribution of their assets to the type of funerals they want. I learned that my father would like a large tombstone, which is something I never knew, so I asked him to draw up exactly what he had in mind. Mom and Dad have already written their obituaries for the newspaper. Mom listed all the songs to be played at her service and the flowers she wants. We visited funeral homes, and discussed coffins and services, etc. Since then, they have changed their minds several times and have now decided they prefer cremation. Everything is written down and I sent copies to my brother, who lives out of town. Both of us want to respect our parents’ wishes. It wasn’t as difficult as we thought it would be, and when the time comes and everyone is emotionally spent, the arrangements will already be in place. — JIM IN CHESTERFIELD, MO. DEAR JIM: I congratulate you for having that important discussion with your parents. A number of readers commented on that letter. Their remarks made me smile, so I’ll share. Read on:

Whether I’m in a nursing home or in a coffin, if there are any coarse hairs sprouting from my chin, I’ll come back and haunt them. — MARTHA IN GREEN BAY DEAR ABBY: When we buried my mother, Dad realized his burial plot next to hers would be so close to the road that visitors might drive over it or park on his grave.

DEAR ABBY: Our mother saved her favorite square dancing outfit for when the angels called her, and we honored her wishes when she passed away a few months ago at the age of 89. She was completely decked out in her dress, right down to the “full” slip, shoes and six-shooter earrings. We miss her terribly, but can’t help smiling when we think of her in her dress. — DID RIGHT BY MAMA, OTHELLO, WASH. DEAR ABBY: My great-grandma also requested that she be buried in her pajamas, but said she also wanted a fork placed in her hands. We could understand the pajamas — given the “long sleep” — but the fork had us stumped. She explained that when dishes were cleared after family dinners when she was growing up and dessert was on its way, her father would say, “Hold onto your fork, the best is yet to come!” We did as my great-grandmother asked, and it helped those of us who were grieving to remember that she’s now enjoying her “just desserts.” — HOLDING TIGHT TO MY FORK, SIOUX FALLS, S.D.

ODDS AND ENDS Tenn. Senate says fish, birds OK in barber shops NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Let the record reflect that the Tennessee state Senate has endorsed fish tanks and live birds in barber shops. The Senate on Wednesday voted 30-1 for a measure allowing barber shops to display live fish and birds. A companion bill passed the House earlier this month and the legislation is headed to the governor. Barber shop owner Lori Corbin had been asked to drain the built-in fish tank at her shop in nearby Mt. Pleasant following a state inspection. Existing law bars birds, fish or other live animals in barber shops, except for animals that help people with disabilities. The bill has provoked some laughs on Capitol Hill. Corbin said she wants fish in her barber shop because they “make you relaxed.”

Rescue redux: Pooch plucked twice from NY ice WESTFIELD, N.Y. (AP) — If Koozie the dog were a cat she would be down to seven lives. The 8-year-old mix-breed pooch had to be rescued — not once, but twice — from the broken-up ice of Lake Erie off western New York. Koozie wandered away from her owner’s home outside Buffalo and was spotted Monday night about 30 miles away, trapped on the ice off Westfield. An Erie County Sheriff’s Department

MY ANSWER helicopter was summoned, but the rescue effort was put off until Tuesday morning, when a crew member was lowered in a basket and plucked Koozie from the ice. After being brought to shore, the dog trotted back out onto the ice and had to be rescued a second time by the helicopter crew. She was checked out by a veterinarian and returned to her owner.

Helicopter rescues horse stranded on Ariz. sandbar PHOENIX (AP) — It’s not every day you see a horse fly. But with the greatest of ease, a heavyduty helicopter plucked a mustang named Colorado off a western Arizona river sandbar Tuesday morning, reuniting him with his owner. Colorado spent five days stranded on the sandbar along the Gila River about 36 miles southwest of Phoenix. The Gila’s swift-moving current prevented an earlier rescue and the horse was trapped on the sandbar with a few bushes and trees to munch on. His rider was one of three people rescued after they tried to ride in the river Friday. A veterinarian prepped the 900-pound horse for the flight Tuesday by injecting him with a tranquilizer before placing him in a harness with blinders on. Once he was airborne, Colorado flew effortlessly and never bucked, his black mane and tail blowing in the wind. As the helicopter gently let Colorado down, the horse’s back legs buckled a bit before he straightened up.

If we repent, God forgives all our sins Q: How do I know if God has forgiven all my sins, when I can’t even remember a lot of the sins I know I must have committed? In other words, does God only forgive the sins we remember, or will He forgive all our sins if we ask Him to? -- D.C. A: The Bible certainly urges us to examine ourselves and confess to God every sin we know we have committed. The Psalmist’s prayer should be ours: “Search me, O God, and know my heart... See if there is any offensive way in me” (Psalm 139:23-24). But the Bible also tells us that all our sins -- all of them, without exception -- were placed on Jesus Christ when He died on the cross for us. He was without sin, because He was God in human flesh. But on the cross all our sins were placed on Him, and He took upon Himself the judgment and Hell that we deserve. Think of it: He paid the price for every sin you ever committed, or ever will commit! The Bible says, “He forgave us all our sins” (Colossians 2:13). Have you put your faith and trust in Him alone for your eternal salvation? Why, then, should we confess our sins if Christ has already taken them away? The reason is because sin separates us from God and breaks our fellowship with Him. The only way to restore our fellowship is to confess our sins and claim Christ’s forgiveness every day. Never forget: God’s will is that we would become more like Christ. Make sure of your commitment to Him, and then ask Him to help you not only turn your back on sin, but become more like Christ in your peace and love and compassion for others.
