BY SCOTT [email protected]

An investor whose group recently paid $6.7million for 330 acres along Interstate 85 insouthern Rowan County says developing theland for commercial use still hinges on a newinterchange at Old Beatty Ford Road.

And although federal highway plannerssaid several months ago a new interchange isnot warranted there, local and state govern-ment officials say they are doing all they canto have one included in that area when thestate eventually widens the interstate,whether it’s at Old Beatty Ford or a new lo-cation that will access the land more direct-ly.

They hope to demonstrate the need for aninterchange with a land-use plan for the prop-

erty and the surroundingarea, Kannapolis City Manag-er Mike Legg said. But withany development still yearsaway, Kannapolis is also ask-ing the General Assembly foran extension of its Septemberdeadline to annex the land,Legg said.

“I don’t think anything isgoing to be resolved by Sep-tember in this economic envi-

ronment,” Legg said. “This will give us a cou-ple more years to see if it’s a viable project ornot.”

That means multiple governments will needto be involved in land-use planning for the areaaround the 330 acres and determining the ef-fects of its ultimate use on surrounding roads,he said, including Rowan County, Landis andChina Grove.

Gary Morton, who owns the Stag ‘n Doerestaurant in China Grove, was a member ofGDRM Gateway, a partnership that paid acombined $5.4 million in several transactionsfor the land in 2008 and asked Kannapolis toannex it. He’s also a member of High Bridge,a partnership that bought the land in January.

Morton is the only member of the limitedliability corporation listed in documents filedat the N.C. Secretary of State’s office, and hewouldn’t name the others in an interview withthe Post. He said there are “five or six” mem-bers and a couple are from Charlotte.

And he said while the partners believe aninterchange in the area of I-85 and Old Beat-ty Ford Road is a real possibility when thehighway is widened, they realize that projectis several years in the future, and they’re pre-pared to wait.

“The new group is basically a real estateinvestment group that understands the poten-tial of a possible intersection there at I-85,”Morton said last week. “The new group willbe able to be more patient with the land hold-ing, but it was a normal transaction.”

Along with Morton, members of the previ-ous ownership group were Randall Patterson,Douglas Patterson and Marcella Morton. Theyasked Kannapolis to annex the land, which re-quired legislative approval since it is closerto Landis.

They proposed it as home to commercialdevelopment. Morton said the focus is on dis-tribution and manufacturing businesses relat-ed to the N.C. Research Campus in Kannapo-lis and, with a mile of frontage on the inter-state, potentially some retail, which he saidwould not only create jobs, but help keep salestax revenue in Rowan that now leaks intoCabarrus.

“There’s a lot of uses there,” he said. “It’sa long stretch of I-85 that doesn’t have an exitramp.”

The land is between exits at Lane Street tothe south and N.C. 152 to the north, a distanceof about 5 miles.

And after the state completes projects towiden the interstate inRowan, Cabarrus and David-son counties and replace theYadkin River Bridge, Leggsaid, it will be part of the lastsection of I-85 in the statewith only two lanes in each di-rection. The Cabarrus RowanMetropolitan Planning Organ-ization, which recommendstransportation projects to thestate, has made rectifying

that its top priority, and has included a newOld Beatty Ford Road interchange in that rec-ommendation.

Rep. Fred Steen, who represents southernRowan in the N.C. House, said he and otherlegislators are telling state and federal trans-portation officials it just makes sense to studythat possibility while the agency is perform-ing assessments for highway widening.

“Hopefully, they’ll do some assessmentswhile they’ve got boots on the ground and save

ince its inception in 1879,

Livingstone College has been

committed to providing a

quality education through a Chris-

tian-based environment.

The school has also been a

leader in the community, reaching

out to students from all racial and

social backgrounds, as well as a

firm foundation for the African

Methodist Episcopal Church.

Community tiesLivingstone president Dr. Jim-

my Jenkins Sr. said the collegewill continue to be involved in theoverall economic development ofSalisbury.

“We see the college as a verycritical and important corporatecitizen of this community with aneconomic impact of nearly $100million,” he said. “We believe weare a cornerstone that needs to benourished.”

Jenkins said as enrollment con-tinues to grow the college is start-ing to make plans to constructnew buildings for the first time in

nearly 30 years. “We see us becoming more and

more as a reservoir for our com-munity and for the city,” he said.

Salisbury Mayor Susan Kluttzsaid Livingstone is an integral

part of Salisbury’shistory.

“When you lookat the history ofthe college andwhen you ride byand see how beau-tifully it’s been re-stored, it’s amaz-ing,” she said.

Livingstone’scampus is housed

on 272 acres consisting of 21 brickbuildings, with seven campusstructures listed on the NationalRegister of Historic Places.

“But more than the building,it’s the people,” Kluttz said.

Kluttz said she is impressed bythe caliber of gradates who havegone on to become leaders in thecommunity.

Alumnus Pete Kennedy workswith Kluttz on the Salisbury CityCouncil, and alumni JeanKennedy and Kay Wright Normanserve on the Rowan-SalisburyBoard of Education.

The president of LivingstoneCollege said if students have a willto learn, together they’ll find a way.

“I think the word is getting out.... we tell people if you want to goto college and you want to gradu-ate then you need to consider com-ing to Livingstone because our fo-cus is to get you to graduate,” Dr.Jimmy Jenkins Sr. said.

Jenkins said with 95 percent ofLivingstone’s students qualifyingfor federal financial aid and 71 per-cent being first-generation collegestudents, he recognized a need fora unique approach.

“Socioeconomics still dictatehow one is able to interact in ourculture and in our society it is im-portant to note that there is a directcorrelation between education andsocioeconomics.

Enter the Holistic College. Upon his arrival at Livingstone

in 2006, Jenkins developed a Holis-tic College, designed to educate the“whole person.”

“We teach them, as they say, thethree Rs, reading,writing and ’rith-metic, but we alsodeal with a lot ofother socialskills,” he said.“We have createda very structuredenvironment de-signed to get atsome of thoseskills.”

Dr. Gary Callahan, dean of theHolistic College, said the approachis focused on getting students to bemore conscious.

“Although they are here for ac-ademics, there are a lot of things inlife that are going to affect them,”he said. “We are trying to put them

YESTERDAY: MLK tragedyThis photograph from the Salisbury Post files shows the scene on the steps of the Rowan County Courthouse April 5, 1968, the dayafter the assassination of national civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. in Memphis, Tenn. A newspaper account said about 700Livingstone College students sang King’s favorite spiritual, “Precious Lord,” on the courthouse steps, and they were part of “an or-ganized, slow-moving and peaceful march from the Livingstone campus to downtown area.” Some of the participants carried signspleading for peace and justice or carrying slogans familiar to King and the civil rights movement. A Livingstone professor, the Rev.Robert Clayton, told the courthouse crowd, “We are not here to riot, but to proclaim our belief in the ideals of Martin Luther King. Wewill not throw bricks, but we will throw ballots.” He urged widespread voter registration efforts in King’s name. The march to the court-house was planned during a morning chapel service at the college. Student body president George Miller and Dean of StudentsEdgar French led the march, which had a police escort.

Q: I get so discouraged whenI fail once more in eating healthyand exercising that I really putmyself down and stop it all tostart it all over again. What canI do?

A:Many times we are our ownworst enemy. Throw in unreach-able goals and many will set

themselves upfor failure. Neg-ativity is like avirus. You failin reaching yourgoal and it ini-tially disap-points you. Youstart to lookback in what youdid wrong andcontinue to beatyourself up forany wrong doing

you found. You remember thatcookie you ate, or the workoutyou missed. You continue to putyourself down and the “virus”has spread. The virus is pushingyou “off the wagon.” Not exer-cising, not eating healthy is mak-ing you more depressed andeventually you pull yourselfback out to do it all over again. But why are we doing this to

ourselves? Society can be partof it. Your doctor’s scale didn’thelp either, but mostly it is thegoals we set for ourselves. Toohigh, too soon. How long did it take to get un-

fit and unhealthy? Not overnightright?It is so hard to “do it right”.

Questions pop up such as, “If Ijust had my own personal train-er,” or “If I had my own gym, Iknow I would work out regular-ly.”But look at Oprah. She has it

all and she has struggled withher weight most of her life. Thatis how difficult it is. But you dohave to take responsibility foryour own actions.If you have a hard time resist-

ing junk food when you are athome, why do you buy it in thefirst place?If you are not a morning per-

son but feel you need to startworking out before you go towork, your chances of stickingwith it are slim. When you comefrom not doing anything andstart expecting to work out five,six or even seven days a week,again, your goal is too high.Something is going to have to

give when you start putting thatkind of time into your workoutschedule that quickly. Take babysteps.It is better to exercise three

times a week for one hour therest of your life than five to sev-en days per week for a couple ofmonths, take off three to try itall over again.Some tips to hopefully help

you to become successful and

stop putting yourself down;• Stop buying bad foods you

can’t resist.• Plan your workouts so that

you can work it in your sched-ule. When it goes well for amonth see if you can add more. • Set little goals, such as los-

ing 5 pounds instead of 50. Whenyou reach it, go for another 5 andso on. Or start with half a milerun and work up to one mile.• Reward yourself when cer-

tain goals are reached. Maybe anew workout outfit or bathingsuit.• When falling off the wag-

on, climb back on. There will bedays, sometimes weeks, wheneverything is just not workingin your favor. And, yes, five min-utes will make a difference. Es-pecially keeping it going in yourschedule. Before you know ityou will be up to your normaltime. • When going out to eat,

check calories and fat contents.Prepare yourself to eat the bet-ter, choosing foods with less fatand fewer calories food.• Most of all, stop putting

yourselves down! Chin up, I know you can do it

with the right planning andtools!Good luck and happy Valen-

tine!

SALISBURY POST AREA MONDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 2011 • 3A


Tony Award winner Daryl Wa-ters admits he barely graduatedfrom high school. “There was way too much time

spent on music, way too little onacademics,” he said in an e-mail tothe Post. So, when Livingstone College’s

marching band director, HenryDuncombe, Jr., offered him ascholarship after graduating fromShaw High School in East Cleve-land, Ohio .he decided to take thedeal. “I figured I’d stay a year, pull

my grades up, then transfer to amusic conservatory,” he said.“Next thing I knew, four years atLivingstone had flown by and I wasgraduating with honors.” Waters still remembers his first

brush with fame, when he pro-duced Livingstone’s student talentshow called “Star Time Revue.”“We had loads of incredible vo-

calists singing all kinds of music,a comedian, and even a hula hoopdancer using hoops that were onfire,” he said. “I was a star on cam-pus for the next week for makingit all happen so smoothly and pro-

fessionally.”Although he played piano, vio-

lin, baritone, horn and trumpet,

Waters struggled to estab-lish himself as a musician af-ter graduating from Living-stone in 1978. “I worked in Cleveland as

a substitute teacher, night-club pianist, soul band key-boardist and car valet at acountry club,” he said. “Goodfor building character, but Idon’t miss those days.”Waters finally got his

break when he was hired asassociated conductor for themusical “Leader of thePack.”Since then, he’s worked

with entertainers includingEartha Kitt, Sammy Davis,Jr., Cab Calloway and Gre-gory Hines. His hard work and deter-

mination paid off last year,when he won a Tony Awardfor Best Orchestrations forthe play “Memphis.”But, Waters still credits

his time at Livingstone withhelping him succeed. “Livingstone did what

every good school should doto prepare you for the future,equipped me with the educationaland personal tools to deal with

life’s challenges while providing anurturing environment to explorewho I am,” he said. Water still carries the greatest

lesson he learned from Livingstonewith him everywhere he goes.

“Really listen,” he said. There ispoetry, music and knowledgeeverywhere.”

Profiles of notable Livingstone alumni

KOONTZ GAVIN COATES

Why I chose Livingstone:

“The first timearound I went toMars Hill College,which is a predom-inantly white col-lege. This time Iwanted to experi-ence what it wouldbe like to be among

my own people.”

— The Rev. Willie E. Givens, Jr., 44,religious studies and psychology major

“I came here be-cause it’s smaller. Ireally like the factthat I’m a name andnot a number.

— Jamie Chat-man, 24, businessand adminstrationmajor

“I wanted tocome here becausethis is such a his-torical school andthe foundation ofthe church beganhere. It’s heart-warming to standon the shoulders ofthose who havecome before.”

— The Rev. Kirby Woodard, 44,business and adminstration major

“Going to a His-torically Black Col-lege there are stilla lot of people fromdifferent back-grounds. And, youreally get the one-one-one help youneed.”

— Lakia Warthaw,22, English major

“I was urged bymy episcopal fa-ther, Bishop GeorgeW.C. Waker Sr.,chairman of theboard of trustees, toattend Livingstone.He’s big on educa-tion and wanted hisministers to be edu-

cated on how to serve the people.”

— The Rev. Vivian Williams, 51, re-ligious studies and history major

Students reveal why they chose Livingstone College

In my occasional visits tothe South, I observed thateducation is most urgent,especially among its col-

ored population. It is encouraging,however, to see that the colored peo-ple are doing something for them-selves in this direction.Mr. Price representswork of the kind.

— Stephen Ballard, donor of BallardIndustrial Hall

Thefounders,presidents,faculty and

academic communityat Livingstone Col-lege have not onlybeen involved withthe Livingstone-Sal-isbury communitybut with a nationalcommunity. Manyhave provided a na-tional focus to thetown through theirteaching, preachingand writing and theirinvolvementin nationalissues.

Livingstone has borne anexcellent reputation inour midst. The studentsare orderly and polite

and the community in which thecollege is located is made up ofpeaceable and respectable citizens.In fact, such is the reputation of thecollege that some of our mostwealthy and progressive citizensare building costly residences inthe neighborhood of the college.This speaks well for the manage-ment and reflects creditupon the training growththere.

Salisbury Mayor Susan Kluttzsays Livingstone College is an im-portant part of the city’s history. “I am very proud to have a His-

torically Black College in thiscity,” she said. “I think that’s some-thing that really enriches us a cityand our quality of life here.”Students at Livingstone say at-

tending a Historically Black Col-lege is meaningful for them. Senior music major Sir Davis

said the fact that Livingstone isnestled in Salisbury makes itunique. “A lot of other Historically

Black Colleges and Universitiesare in cities that are a bit more ur-ban,” he said. “It’s significant inthat it’s an advantage to have aHistorically Black College here be-cause we get to learn about ourheritage even though the town weare in isn’t as diverse.”The Rev. Willie E. Givens Jr., a

senior religious studies and psy-chology major, said Livingstone isa beacon of hope to minority stu-dents. “It really gives proof that

African-Americans can excel anddefy stereotypes,” he said. Kluttz said she is grateful for

the caliber of students who grad-uate from Livingstone and go on tobecome leaders in the community. “I’m always amazed the type of

leaders that Livingstone produceswho contribute all over the coun-try and the world,” she said. The Rev. Vivian Williams, a sen-

ior history and religious studiesmajor, said there is a sense ofpride in belonging to a Historical-ly Black College. “It allows for a place of refer-

ence and record keeping of ourheritage,” she said. “There are alot of historical buildings here sothe community of Salisbury has ajewel right here in the middle ofthe city.”Williams said her own experi-

ence at Livingstone has allowedher to live her dream. “I was never a good student the

first time around, but I’m on theHonor Society now,” she said. “Liv-ingstone has brought a lot out ofme.”And, Williams said, Livingstone

isn’t just a good college for AfricanAmericans. “It’s a great resource that any-

one can tap into, it doesn’t matterthe color of your skin,” she said.

Forgetfulness leads to license-plate woesNot too very long ago, it occurred to

me to open the glove compartmentof my car and check the expiration

date of my registration. Not having kept up with the particular

month of its expiring, I was at least awareof the season. That sudden inspiration to

check the date, not beingthe result of long-termplanning, being more inthe nature of the “acute”than that of the “chronic,”is probably some evidenceof adult ADD. I discovered on the date

of my looking in late De-cember, that my registra-tion had expired on the lastday of November. I wentimmediately to the Vir-ginia DMV’s office, where

due to their efficiency of operation, mystate of “wrongness” was “righted” in onlyabout 20 minutes. I received two decals, both consisting

solely of the number 11. Approaching therear of my car, I thought to myself: “Myregistration expired in November, so thestate of Virginia must now be using thenumerical equivalents of the months in-stead of letter abbreviations, so I peeledoff the paper backings and placed one ofthe 11s over the Nov. in the upper left-hand corner of the license plate and theother 11 over the number 10, which repre-sented the year that would shortly begone.I then proceeded to the local service

station where I usually purchase my gasin order to have them perform my inspec-tion. I hoped that by being a regular cus-tomer and by giving them my additionalpatronage in this manner (sucking up),they might possibly inspect my old ‘92Chevy Lumina with a certain amount of le-niency. The only thing that worried me was the

brakes. Being a baby boomer born in 1951, Iremembered the “Flintstones” in its originalprime-time viewing slot, but had still beenable to bring my car to a halt without havingto resort to the Fred Flintstone method.Fred’s method of applying his brakes alwayscomes to mind when I hear the song “RubberMeets the Road,” only in Fred’s case, it wasthe “tread” of his bare feet. After waiting in the service station’s of-

fice for a while, the gentleman doing theinspecting came in and told me that threeof the lights were out (good thing that Ihadn’t been doing much night driving!).Evidently he hadn’t had to resort to theFlintstone method in the working of mybrakes, so they must have passed the in-spection. He then looked through a nearbycabinet, examining thoroughly his cacheof stocked bulbs, and the longer he looked,the more I felt that the news might not begood as far as my speedy legal restorationto the world of driving was concerned.

He informed me that he was out of mycar’s particular type of bulb, but that hewould call across town to an auto supplystore and the bulbs would be deliveredshortly. Being seated closeby when he made his

call, I heard him say, “Do you have bulbs fora Chevy Lumina from back in the day?” Ithought to myself that someday while at thedoctor’s office, I’ll hear the doctor call“somewhere” and inquire: “Do you havespare parts for an old man from back in theday?”After about an hour, the bulbs were deliv-

ered and the man went to work. The area ofthe service station in which he was workingon my car was out of my sight , but when Iheard the sound of something approximat-ing the sound of an old German Panzer ( mytransmission is a bit noisy), I knew that theinspection had reached an end. I pulled out onto the street, and when I

saw an oncoming car in the opposite lane, asudden realization came to me (just as sud-den as my inspiration for checking the expi-ration date of my registration, and after thissecond realization came to me I felt morecertain about my possible case of adultADD). Immediately following this, I experi-enced an instantaneous flashback to GraniteQuarry School in the early 1960s, when myfifth-grade teacher, Mrs. Angell angrily saidto me: “Mack Williams, you are the most ir-responsible boy in my classroom!”My sudden realization was: only having

lived in the state of Virginia for a little overtwo years, I had forgotten that in that state,there are license plates for both the frontand back of the car. I decided to pull over,and feeling the need to assume a certainamount of “macho” after all that had gonebefore, took out the Swiss Army knife whichmy son Jeremy had given me, thinking thatI was going to easily remove the mistakenly-placed 11 decal from above the Nov. decaland place it in its proper place on the upperright-hand side of my front license plate. Despite the care taken in my efforts, I

did irreparable damage to both the 11 andthe Nov. beneath it, necessitating my hastyreturn to the DMV. When I told one of the gracious ladies

about what had happened, she said that afull reissuance of stickers for both plateswould provide quick correction of what Ihad done. Since the registration renewal had cost

me in the neighborhood of $80, and the in-spection (with the inclusion of the threebulbs from “back in the day”) totaled $50, Iinquired, with some trepidation as to theprice of the replacement decals. The kindlady said: “$1.”This was the best deal which I had expe-

rienced all day, but I wouldn’t have beenable to have begun the day with that deal. Itwas only reached after going through theday’s prior route, making me feel somewhatbetter about what had previously tran-spired, but not a great deal better.

WOODLEAF — TheRowan County Fire Marshal’sOffice is investigating a firethat destroyed a mobile homeand encroached upon a neigh-boring double-wide Sundayafternoon at 469 Crump Cir-cle. “The single-wide is burned

all the way down, but we didsave the double wide,” Lt.Donnie Myers of the Scotch-Irish Fire Department said. No one was injured in the

fire and both mobile homeswere unoccupied. Myers said his crew was

the first to arrive on thescene, dropping a water sup-ply line all the way in to thewooded area where the struc-tures were located.He said it took about 15

minutes to control the blaze,which started about 1:45 p.m. More than 4,000 gallons of

water were brought in to con-tain the fire and hot spots sur-rounding it. Sandy Pflughaupt report-

ed the fire from her home onthe other side of the woods. “I saw smoke coming

through the woods, the windwas blowing so I figured Ibetter go ahead and call it in”she said. “I was scared of thewoods catching on fire ... I’vegot horses and ponies.” Myers said his primary fo-

cus was to keep it the blazeaway from the woods sur-rounding it. “That was a big concern,”

he said. Rowan Fire Investigator

Deborah Horne said about 2acres of grass near the mo-bile homes burned. Woodleaf, Cooleemee and

Jerusalem fire departmentsresponded to the scene, alongwith the Rowan County Res-cue Squad.

When Scott Jenkins,the news editor forthe Salisbury Post,

asked if I would cover theBigfoot hunt in Troy, heasked the right person.

I had a big eveningplanned, but it isn’t often

that a regu-lar guygets tochase thelegend ofthe elusiveBigfoot. Ofcourse, Ihadn’t beenclose to onebefore, andI thinkmost of theother 300

searchers were new to thechase too.

Even though I live on afarm and have lots ofwoods around, I haven’theard of a sighting nearby.Once I heard of an uncon-firmed Bigfoot sighting atone of the Ys, but nothingever came of it. As soon asI drove into the lot at theEldorado Outpost on High-way 109, I knew this wasthe real thing and some-thing that I wanted to bepart of.

Michael Greene has athermal image of what heclaims is a Bigfoot on hiswebsite. It sure looks likeone to me.

He had enticed the Ani-mal Planet TV crew tocome see where he hunts,which I am sure was noteasy to do. I read Greene’sbiography and was signifi-cantly impressed. The guyhas lived a life of adven-ture and service, and nowhe lives in Salisbury.

A tank commander, pi-lot, national ski patrolmember, boating enthusi-ast and much more. Lots ofgood stories about sight-ings came from his peers.There has to be somethingto this. Keep in mind that Iam still waiting for Elvisto come out of hiding andstart performing again.

It seemed that lots offolks had come to Eldoradofor a good time and a doseof the unusual.

In fact, that is whatClaudine Burleson told me.She wouldn’t give herhometown and her friend“Diane” wouldn’t give any-thing, but the two ladieswere there representingthe Society for Preventionof Cruelty to Bigfoot(SPCB), and trying to geton TV.

Diane did say, “This is agood way to stimulate thelocal economy.”

A few girls and momswere selling “MonsterMunch,” using the slogan“Don’t just attract them,feed them.”

A SUV had a sign on theside, saying “Bigfoot lovesGirls Scout Cookies.” Itturns out that the GirlScouts were selling thecookies and Bigfoot

Hunter license plates. A large sound system was

playing Bigfoot hit songs,and there was even sometailgating going on.

Of course I knew beforearriving that we were goingon a Bigfoot search.

We tried to find Zagnut,the preferred candy bar ofBigfoot, while passingthrough Troy. None at FoodLion, none at CVS, and I wasabout to resort to buyingTwix Bars and hoping thatthe woolly beast likes themtoo.

I had actually planned toput a few Zagnuts in mybackpack, and if a Bigfootcame out of the woods afterme I would just break off apiece every so often and tossthem to him while I was run-ning away.

Later, while the evidencesearch was getting started,we were told by bullhorn tostop and wait until the cam-eras were ready to do a re-take.

I kept busy looking forred candy bar wrapperswhich are easy to spot. Oth-ers concentrated on lookingfor hair and broken branch-es.

The helicopter flew offand came back once whenwe were ready to startsearching again.

Everyone was told not towave at the helicopter. I did-n’t. Well, OK, just a little.

We stopped by the storeon the way out, and one cus-tomer said that there wereBigfoot toes on a stick forsale inside. I didn’t ask, but Idid buy a couple Zagnut barsfrom Dianne at the registerwho stocks them for baityear round.

It would be just fine withme if Michael Greene willlet me go along on his nexthunt. I would make way less

noise than the Animal Planetcrew. I’ll go looking for Elvisanother time.

RALEIGH (AP) — An ef-fort to reduce the number ofrepeat criminal offenders inNorth Carolina, and in turn in-mate beds, is moving aheadeven with leadership changesat the General Assembly.Republicans now com-

manding the Legislature saythey supportthe “JusticeReinvestment”project begunnearly a yearago, billed as abipartisan ef-fort when De-mocrats heldthe majority.Outside expertsare evaluatingstate crime,prison and pro-bation statisticsand will suggestoptions laterthis month to improve publicsafety and avoid costly prisonconstruction.Proposing swifter, short-

term penalties for probationviolators and supervisingmore felons once releasedfrom prison are among ideasthat could be presented to aworking group comprised ofall three government branch-es. The Legislature wouldhave to approve changes.One key GOP leader says

he’s willing to reduce somenonviolent drug offenses fromfelonies to misdemeanors — amove that could be perceivedby some as lessening punish-ment for criminals.“We’re not going to coddle

criminals. We’re going to putthem in prison for the appro-priate amount of time,” saidHouse Majority Leader PaulStam, R-Wake. But “if a crim-inal is willing to not be violent,we don’t need to punish themas much as someone who is vi-olent.”Justice Reinvestment, a

project of the Council of StateGovernments with help from

the Pew Center on the States,wouldn’t embark on the effortlast year unless it had buy-infrom both sides of the politi-cal aisle.“With both parties in-

volved, it takes away the de-sire to use that ‘soft-on-crime’stick,” said Rep. Alice Bord-sen, D-Alamance, who helpedget the project started lastyear. “I am really excited

about the con-tinuation of it.”The effort

nears a criticalstage soon aftera new annual re-port by the stateSentencing andPolicy AdvisoryCommi s s i o nprojects therate of increasein the projectedprison popula-tion is actuallyslowing. Thecommission at-

tributed it to many factors, in-cluding demographic and sen-tencing changes and a de-crease in the number of over-all convictions.The commission said last

year the state would have tolook for an added 8,500 bedsby 2019 to house 50,829 pris-oners. Now the commissionsays less than 2,300 extra bedsare needed in the same yearbecause projections have fall-en to 44,208 prisoners.Still, the prison population

remains on an uphill climb, in-creasing 29 percent during thelast decade even as rates of vi-olent and property crimes fellduring the same period, ac-cording to a draft presentationlast month from Justice Rein-vestment project leaders.Some of the population in-crease can be attributed to of-fenders who return to prisonbecause their probation is re-voked — they accounted for53 percent of all prison admis-sions in the 2008-09 fiscalyear, the report said.In September, the Depart-

ment of Correction began

evaluating probationers moreclosely and calculating indi-vidual risk levels. More in-tense supervision is shiftingto those with the highest risklevels, department spokesmanKeith Acree said. Stam andothers contend many proba-tioners return to prison be-cause they’re not experienc-ing immediately the conse-quences of failing to meet therequirements of probation un-til after they make severalmistakes.Instead, Stam likes a pro-

posal that would ship proba-tioners to a county jail for aday or a week if they miss acurfew or drug test — givingthem a shock that hopefullywould keep them out of long-term trouble. Georgia andHawaii have met with successwith such sanctions, said Mar-shall Clement, the project di-rector for Justice Reinvest-ment, which has been carriedout in more than a dozenstates over the past severalyears.

North Carolina’s reportalso found offenders sen-tenced to prison for lower-lev-el felonies aren’t supervisedonce they’re released, result-ing in higher re-arrest rates.Requiring post-release super-vision for these offenderscould lower those rates, Stamsaid.While Stam supports creat-

ing a new class of misde-meanors nonviolent drug of-fenses, it’s unclear ifClement’s group will proposeit as an option for state offi-cials to consider.Law enforcement is taking

a wait-and-see approach aboutproposals before they seedata, such as whether the jailssheriffs operate would be-come more or less crowded.“If we can better use our re-sources in a manner that does-n’t jeopardize public safety,that would be good public pol-icy,” said Eddie Caldwell, ex-ecutive vice president of theNorth Carolina Sheriffs Asso-ciation.

State tries to slow growth in prison population

RALEIGH (AP) — Appel-late judges will soon have todecide a case about whether anonviable fetus can be a mur-der victim in North Carolina.The News & Observer re-

ported Sunday that the case ofRobert Broom will present thestate Appeals Court with aunique question.Robert Broom, 39, was con-

victed in October of murderin the death of his daughterLily. Prosecutors say Broomshot his wife, Danna, and doc-tors delivered baby Lily at 26weeks so they could operateon her mother.Lily survived 31 days. Doc-

tors said her death was causedby her premature birth.The fetus was not injured

in the shooting or deliveredstillborn and Danna Broomdid not miscarry as a result ofthe shooting.Those are thereasons a person could becharged with the death of a fe-tus in North Carolina. ButBroom was found guilty andsentenced to life in prison.In its beginnings, the case

was significant enough tobring a former prosecutor outof retirement.“This is the kind of case we

were all waiting for,” saidGene Morris, a 30-year veter-an prosecutor. “We wanted an-

swers to these questions, andthis case would force that.”The state Supreme Court

has said that to convict some-one of murder, the victimmust be born alive, capable ofliving independently of themother and must have diedfrom injuries suffered priorto birth.When Danna Broom was

shot, the bullet missed Lily butshredded her mother’s intes-tines.Robert Broom told police

and later testified that his wifehad shot herself and that heimmediately called for help.But doctors said there was ev-idence that Danna Broom hadbeen shot at least eight hoursif not more before she re-ceived help.Danna Broom says her hus-

band shot her then refused toget her medical assistance formore than 12 hours.Doctors testified they had

to deliver the baby so theycould operate Danna.“These children are invisi-

ble as far as our law is con-cerned. That shouldn’t be thecase,” said Rep. Dale Folwell,R-Forsyth. Folwell has pro-posed legislation and plans todo it again to let police chargethose who kill a pregnantwoman with two homicides.

produces” she said. “Liv-ingstone graduates havejust contributed so much tothe city.”

Education for all Joseph Charles Prices

chartered Livingstone Col-lege with the idea of creat-ing an educational institu-tion for the training ofblack youths. Today, that vision ex-

tends to all races and eth-nicities. “Being a Historically

Black College, we see ourmission as being very spe-cial,” Jenkins said. “Firstand foremost to maintainan open door policy foranyone.”As the college sets goals

for the future, Jenkins saidit’s important to rememberthe past.“We recognize histori-

cally that this institutionwas established to takethe just-freed slaves’children where theywere and take themwhere they needed to bein order to equip them-selves educationally tobe contributing citizensof the global economy.”Jenkins said his goal

is to make sure studentswho graduate from Liv-ingstone match up withgraduates from other in-stitutions. “They will be quali-

fied and capable,” hesaid. That’s why he’s creat-

ed the Bridge Program,which provides studentswho might not otherwisebe able to attend collegea chance. “It fits because the

only reason for an insti-tution like LivingstoneCollege today is that weare still prepared to dowhat we were designedto originally do,” he said. Jenkins said the

school is committed totaking the disadvantagedand creating the kind oflearning environmentwhere they can demon-strate their intellectualskills.“We believe that no

child should have to bepenalized because of thecircumstances of theirbirth,” he said.

Church linksLivingstone College

and Hood TheologicalSeminary were orignallyfounded as Zion WesleyInstitute in Concord forthe purpose of trainingministers. Although Hood has

acted as a separate, inde-pendent institution since2001, its roots wereplanted at Livingstone. Students enrolled in

the first class of a newbachelor of divinity pro-gram in 1903. The theological de-

partment was upgradedto a school in 1904, andthe AME Zion Churchbegan raising money tobuilt a seminary. The seminary was

complete in 1910 anddedicated in 1911. In 1965 the AME Zion

Church erected a newbuilding for the Semi-nary on a parcel of landadjacent to the college,donated by Bishop andMrs. Jacob Walls. Today, Hood Theolog-

ical Seminary thrives asa graduate school ac-credited by The Associa-tion of TheologicalSchools to award theMaster of Divinity, Mas-ter of Theological Stud-ies, and Doctor of Min-istry degrees.Although Livingstone

and Hood are no long af-filiated, Livingstone re-mains entrenched inChristian values. Joseph Charles Price,

the college’s founder andfirst president, believedin using faith as the cor-nerstone for education. “We have said nothing

of Christian education;but it is reasonable toconclude that (regard-less or race of ethnicity),under the influences ofChristian intelligences;(we) are prepared tosolved all the problemspeculiar to our earthlystate for Christianitylevel all distinctions...,”he said during a speechat the National Educa-tion Conference. Dr. Gary Callahan,

dean of Livingstone’s

Holistic College, said thecollege is staying true to itsoriginal mission by perme-ating the campus with reli-gious values.

“We want them to havespiritual growth whilethey’re here,” he said. “Weare Christian-based so wepray before meetings andstudents generally acceptthat.”Livingstone is one of two

colleges under the AMEZion denomination. “The church has no

treasure more valuablethan the institutions ofhigher learning foundedand nurtured by it,”George L. Blackwell, for-mer Secretary of ChristianEducation, said in a speechto the 41st General Confer-ence. “The A.M.E. ZionChurch has always countedon the marriage of liberallearning and vital piety asbeing the most profoundform of faithfulness in thegospel.” Mayor Kluttz said Liv-

ingstone’s work with thechurch makes also it a valu-able asset to the communi-ty.

“(Livingstone) has reallygiven us recognition aroundthe world with their work inthe AME Zion Church,” shesaid. “They have a reputa-tion throughout the worldwith its church and the factthat it’s located here is verymuch a positive for thecity.”

Treated and Released

Trading Places

In talking with my peer group, I have foundthat there is one common phenomenon thatmany share as they cross into that stage re-ferred to as “midlife.”

It’s a threshold that most cross over – eventhough it may occur earlier for some, andmuch later for others.

It’s when you become your parent's parent.That point at which you begin to take on

those areas in life that you have always seenas the responsibilities of parenthood.

It can be a sobering event. It demarcates not only your parents’ mor-

tality, but also your own. However, it is also a chance to give back in

a very tangible way. It can allow an opportunity to show your

gratitude through both deeds and words. In my case, our family was very dysfunc-

tional, even though this predated the “dysfunc-tional family” label.

My father suffered from alcoholism, and itconsumed the entire family’s attention.

But throughout it all, my mother modeledfor me what unconditional love was all about.

She did without so that my brother and Iwould have the opportunities that we still en-joy to this day.

She was the calm saint amid the hellish tur-moil... or at least that was the way it seemedto me.

I realized later that the “calm” demeanorwas for my benefit.

Everything I enjoy, or ever will enjoy, isdue in large part to my mother.

Her many sacrifices were often unnoticed,but always appreciated.

It has been a privilege and a pleasure tohelp her as a “parent.” It's the least I can do...for I learned how from observing the best!

I just hope that, in “parenting” her, I candisplay the grace that she showed in parent-ing me.

Dear readers:Happy Valen-tine’s Day!

I’ve decided to celebratethis romantic holiday by fea-turing relationship storieswith a twist.

Recently, Iran a letterfrom “Ms. In-dependent,” amiddle-age,financially se-cure womanwith childrenwho is con-templating asecond mar-riage.

Ms. Inde-pendent and her fiance havedecided to marry but not livetogether. Instead, they willlive in neighboring apart-ments.

I asked readers to sharetheir unconventional habita-tion stories.

Dear Amy:My husband andI have been married for al-most five years and have al-ways lived apart.

This is a second marriagefor both of us.

When we were dating, wetried to blend the families,and it just wasn’t workingthat well, so we agreed tokeep both houses until thekids are off on their own.

We feel we have the bestof both worlds. We can seeeach other when we want, andif we don’t want to get togeth-er we are free to have ourown time too.

It will be interesting to seewhat will happen when ourkids are gone and we have theopportunity to buy a home to-gether, but I am not 100 per-cent sure that will happen. —

Happily Apart

Dear Amy:Thirty years ago,a 30-year-old bachelor movedin next door to me (I was 40),and we started a perfect re-lationship that has lasted for25 years.

We loved the proximity aswell as our continued inde-pendence, and neither of uswanted to get married.

Over the years, we havetraveled together, invested inproperty jointly and main-tained our opposite-sexfriendships while remainingmonogamous.

We feel most fortunate tohave separate residences.

When we recently pur-chased new condos, we madesure we were still next-doorneighbors.

— C and M

Dear Amy: My 71-year-old“significant other” and I have

lived in small, adjacent con-dominiums for 18 years.

It has turned out to be aperfect arrangement. We“live” between the two units,yet each has a private space.

We decorate to suit ourown tastes, which are verydifferent.

I turned my bedroom intoan office, and we sleep in hisunit.

We remain financially in-dependent, although we havecreated joint bank accountsfor certain shared expenses.

Our living arrangementbegan through serendipitybut worked so well we choseto continue rather than movein to one unit.

Several other couples inour building have said theyenvy our situation.

— Happily Together

Dear Amy: My guy and Ihave been together for morethan 10 years, and we have al-ways lived in differentdwellings.

This has enabled us tohave our own space, not makeeach other crazy with annoy-ing habits, and to miss eachother.

The higher cost of living isbalanced by being in a harmo-nious, bonded relationship. —

A Room of Her Own

Dear Amy: My partner andI have shared our lives for al-most six years.

I am a widower, and she isa divorcee.

For two years, we lived 23miles apart.

When a condo becameavailable in my development,she sold her home and boughtit.

It has been ideal. We sharemeals, major activities, andthe joys and sorrows of herfamily and mine.

We mischievously an-nounced before assembledfamily members and friendsat our commitment ceremo-ny that, “separate monies and

separate housing do not hin-der conjugal bliss.”

— A Happy 85-year-old

Dear Amy: More than 25years ago, neighbors of mineintroduced me to my futurehusband.

We were financially com-fortable and each raising ateenager. We wondered if wewere crazy to entertain mar-rying and living apart but feltit would be easier on our chil-dren.

The kids are long gone, weare now both retired, ap-proaching our 24th anniver-sary and still in our respec-tive homes!

— Best of Both Worlds

Dear Amy:My husband andI have lived separately for 20years because offinancial/employment cir-cumstances.We attribute ourenduring marriage to thisarrangement since we are asomewhat mismatched cou-ple.With retirement ap-proaching, we are adding asecond kitchen so we eachcan have our own apartmentwithin one house. We are notsure we'll even need it sincewe get along so well.

ASKAMY

I live in Southern Califor-nia, the land of many cars,crowded freeways and a pret-ty pathetic public transporta-tion system.

My office,fondly re-ferred to asDPL Central,is 12.5 milesfrom myhome, in an-other county.I commutethere fourdays a week.

I do nothave a car.My choice.

I planned to get one short-ly after I turned in my lastev-erinmywholelifesohelp-meGod leased automobile.“Shortly” meaning as soon asI saved up enough cash to buya car outright or be able topay it off in three years.

In the meantime, I agreedto commute with my husbandas the passenger in his vehi-cle.

At first, the situation wasnearly intolerable. I hated it,to be completely honest. Eversince I was 20, I’d had my owncar. I loved the freedom andspontaneity that comes witha car, but the passenger seatnever had been my locationof choice. I like to be incharge. Then, one day at a

time, I learned to let go of myneed to control everything,things such as which lane,which radio station, how fastand when to pass. You get thepicture.

Somewhere between homeand the office one day, I did aquick tally of how much wewere not spending to own asecond car. I came up with anannualized figure of close to$10,000, which included a rea-sonable monthly payment, in-surance, gasoline, oilchanges, license and registra-tion, biennial smog check(California thing), carwashes,miscellaneous parking fees,tires, brakes, and other rou-tine maintenance and repairs.I nearly choked on that num-ber. I thought about house-holds with multiple cars.

Almost without any effortat all, I settled back into mycomfy seat on the passengerside, realizing that I am quiteprivileged. I have a driver.

That was almost 10 yearsago, and I must admit that Ihave become quite accus-tomed to having a chauffeur.From time to time, I still thinkabout getting a car, but some-how I just can’t get past thatnumber: $10,000 per year.

There’s more, too. Not hav-ing a car has cut the legs rightout from under my impulsiveshopping habit. I cannot be-

gin to count the number oftimes I’ve had a compulsiveurge to dash to the gardencenter or run to the super-market. But having to planahead and make an appoint-ment to use the shared vehi-cle is like throwing cold wa-ter on a hot fire. It passesquickly.

I won’t say that living withone car is always easy. It doesrequire planning, compro-mise and delayed gratifica-tion. But, you probably willagree, these are pretty decentcharacter-building attributes.

Though being a single-carhousehold may sound like astep backward into less pro-gressive times, it’s one of thebest decisions we ever havemade. And I wouldn’t changeit now for anything.

The answer, Legg said,

might not be adding an inter-change at Old Beatty Ford,which in addition to beingcurvy is in a low lying areaand presents environmentalchallenges. A better optioncould be building an inter-change and new roads that di-rectly access the 330 acresMorton and his partners own.

Either way, he said, a land-use plan showing the corri-dor’s potential is key sinceFederal Highway Administra-tion policy on adding an inter-state access point allows forfuture use to be considered

even when current traffic pat-terns don’t support one.

“It would help sell our casethat, ultimately, because of thekind of property that’s beenacquired and assembled, it hasthe potential to create an eco-nomic engine and there’s aneed for an interchange,”Legg said.

Morton said unless high-way officials see that need, theopportunity could be lost.

“I don’t think anybody canenvision growth in that areawithout an interchange,” hesaid.

“The truth shall make you free”OPINIONL E T T E R S

T O T H EE D I T O R

One of the most profoundtragedies of the 20th centurywas the murder of a great pres-

ident, John F. Kennedy. His inauguraladdress was remarkable. I rememberwatching TV as he uttered those fa-mous words: “Ask not what yourcountry can do for you; ask what youcan do for your country.” Here inNorth Carolina, we have a $4 billionbudget shortfall. We should remem-ber the words of JFK — ask not whatNorth Carolina can do for you; askwhat you can do for North Carolina.

In my opinion, we could makemany cuts to bring the budget intobalance. We must reduce the size ofgovernment. We should begin by set-ting an example to the other states byreducing the size of our government.The national government should alsodo this.

We should examine every depart-ment of government in Washington,D.C., and reduce the size of congres-sional staffs. We should also createlaws controlling the lobbies from in-fluencing Congress to establish lawsthat benefit only a small part of the

country. We are bur-dened by a $14 tril-lion debt, which weare leaving for ourchildren and grand-children — decadesof debt. We mustbring the troopshome fromAfghanistan andIraq. We also shouldconsider bringingour troops homefrom Japan and Ger-many. We are spend-

ing billions of dollars supportingthese troops.

It is time for Britain, France andGermany to solve the problems thatoccur in Europe. We must also realizewe are not a colony of Britain. It isoutrageous to note that three impor-tant countries — Great Britain,France and Finland — borrowed bil-lions of U.S. dollars to finance theirefforts in World War I. Finland wasthe only country that paid that debt;France and Britain did not.

We can no longer be the policemenof the world. We commit troops tomore than 100 countries today. Com-pound this fact with the record ofthousands of U.S. troops lost to pro-tect Britain and France in World WarII. Our Congress is considering cut-ting our tremendous deficit, and theyshould. They never bring the troopshome from these ridiculous assign-ments for other countries.

Try to imagine the impact thatbringing our troops home would haveon stabilizing our economy and theworld economy. We would reduce ourdebt and not spend money we do nothave. Many of these troops could pro-tect our borders and control illegalimmigration, also reducing that ex-pense for our governments and pro-tecting jobs for our citizens.

It is important to note that theseideas will be difficult for manyAmericans to accept. Most important-ly, it will be hard for Congress to im-plement these reductions. Othercountries should also address theircitizens as JFK did (ask not whatyour country can do for you ...); thenwe may not be burdened by the ex-pense of being the world’s policemen.The question will arise as to what thereturning troops will do for jobs.They will be put to work rebuildingour infrastructure and securing ourborders, which will take many years.

The time has come for the Ameri-can people to realize our economysuffers from war. Not only do we cre-ate the expense of caring for wound-ed troops, but we also must pay forrebuilding the countries we de-stroyed like Germany, Italy, Japan,Afghanistan and Iraq, for which wenever get repaid.

We are fortunate to live in thegreatest country in the world and inall of history. We must rememberthose words of JFK, by doing as hesuggested, to save this wonderfulcountry. May God bless us all andgive us the wisdom to accomplish thistask.

JFK’s wordsare just astrue today

Salisbury Post

Convention will giveour region a boost

In response to Rick Johnson'sFeb. 10 letter titled “Think Char-lotte’s DNC will create jobs?Dream on”:

You say it won’t bring jobs tothe area. I beg to differ with you.While the majority of the jobswill be temporary, there will bejobs created by the convention.In addition to the 7,000 volun-teers you mentioned, which obvi-ously won’t be paid positions,consider the extra security need-ed; the extra staffing needed atarea hotels and restaurants thatwill be serving convention-goers;the extra staffing needed forshuttle services; the extrastaffing needed for improve-ments that need to be made to theTime Warner Cable Arena; thestaffing needed for concessionsand other services at the arena;the opportunity for new smallbusiness owners to open restau-rants or other businesses that of-fer goods or services catering tothose who will be attending theconvention, thus creating theneed for employees, and the op-portunity to remain in businessafter the convention is over.

You also mentioned the needfor $36.5 million-plus in privatefunds for the convention. In 2008Denver, Colo., promised $40 mil-lion in private funds and in theend raised $55 million. The Den-ver area received $233 million ineconomic revenue and an addi-tional $2.7 million in tax revenue.I consider that a substantial re-turn on investment. The 2008 Re-publican National Conventiongenerated more than $168 millionin economic revenue for the Min-neapolis-St. Paul area. The twincities promised $58 million in pri-vate funds and raised $66 million.Again, a substantial return on in-vestment.

The revenue the Charlottearea will receive, and the jobscreated, can only be estimated,but I would welcome either theRepublican or Democratic Na-tional Convention to this area. I'mhappy the selection committeechose Charlotte for the Demo-cratic National Convention.

— Donnie GandyConcord

DNC is not aimingto destroy Charlotte

Mr. Johnson, I understand theneed for jobs in the area duringthese unstable economic times.However, I disagree with yourview on the 2012 Democratic Na-tional Convention.

First, I was surprised at howflabbergasted you were at thethought of the DNC promotingunions. Mr. Johnson, unions havebeen one of the Democrats’ majorplatforms for years; anyone whofollows a presidential electionwould realize this.

I do find it disheartening thatunion workers from out of statecould possibly be brought in towork, but the amount of moneybeing poured into the local econo-my will be a boost to Charlotteand the surrounding areas.Restaurants, stores, the NASCARHall of Fame, Concord Mills andcountless other businesses willreap the reward.

If you’re worried about thecost to the public, then rest yourmind because you solved yourown problem when you statedthat “$36.5-plus million in private

funds for the convention” mustbe raised. You see, the privatefunds needed to prepare the cityare just that, private.

And finally, Mr. Johnson, youmust realize having the DNC willbe a great stepping stone forCharlotte to grow economically.An entire week of national and in-ternational media, politicians andeven celebrities will converge onthe city. Even if it was the Repub-lican National Convention I wouldbe ecstatic for them to come totown. Party aside, a national con-vention in our area that generatesan estimated $150 million, accord-ing to the DNC and RNC websites,is most certainly welcome.

I understand political biasclouds your mind and you cannot

stand the sight of your home be-ing invaded, but take a second tostep back and realize that some-times your enemy can be yourbest friend.

Valentine’s Day is synonymouswith love, and, according tothe people who keep track of

these things, we will spend an aver-age of $106 showering our lovedones with dinner, flowers, baublesand candy.

Don’t think of these purchases asextravagances. Think of them as in-vestments in your wellbeing be-cause love, whatever its other bene-fits, is good for both your mentaland physical health.

Rachel Saslow, a medical writerfor The Washington Post, set out totest the proposition if having aValentine’s Day love interest keepsthe doctor away. Turns out, it does.

Research shows that having a

loving spouse lowers your bloodpressure. Moreover, she writes,“Romantic relationships also can

provide asense ofmeaningand purposeto life thatcan trans-late to bet-ter self-care andless risk

taking.” Not only is your bloodpressure lower, you’re safer aswell.

A Stony Brook University psy-chologist found that feelings oflove trigger the brain’s dopamine-reward system, dopamine being aneurotransmitter that conveys

pleasure.Saslow cites University of North

Carolina at Chapel Hill researchthat found hugging and hand hold-ing caused the release of the hor-mone oxytocin thus lowering thelevels of stress in the body, reduc-ing blood pressure and improvingyour mood. A study at CarnegieMellon University found that peo-ple happily in love had fewer colds.

In an Ohio State study, shewrites, the researchers who creat-ed tiny blisters on the arms of agroup of married couples foundthat the blisters on the happiercouples healed a day sooner.

So there you have it. Love is goodfor your health. Have a happyValentine’s Day. It’s practicallydoctor’s orders.

CAIRO (AP) — Egypt’s mil-itary rulers took sweeping ac-tion to dismantle the autocrat-ic legacy of former PresidentHosni Mubarak on Sunday,dissolving parliament, sus-pending the constitution andpromising elections in movescautiously welcomed by pro-democracy protesters.The caretaker government,

backed by the military, saidrestoring security after the18-day uprising that oustedMubarak was a top priorityeven as labor unrest reflect-ed one of the many challengesof steering the Arab world’sbiggest nation toward stabili-ty and democracy.Egypt’s upheaval was also

splintering into a host ofsmaller grievances, the in-evitable outcome of embold-ened citizens feeling free tospeak up, most of them for thefirst time.They even included about

2,000 police, widely hated forbrutality and corruption un-der Mubarak, who marched tothe Interior Ministry to de-mand better pay and condi-tions. They passed through theprotest camp at TahrirSquare, where demonstratorshurled insults at them, callingthem “pigs” and “dogs.”

GOP says budget cutsare not big enoughWASHINGTON (AP) —

President Barack Obama willsend Congress a $3 trillion-plus budget today that prom-ises $1.1 trillion in deficit re-duction over the next decadeby freezing many domesticprograms for five years, trim-ming military spending andlimiting tax deductions for thewealthy.Jacob Lew, the president’s

budget director, said Sundaythat the new spending plan forthe 2012 would disprove thenotion that “we can do thispainlessly ... we are going tomake tough choices.”Republicans rejected that

appraisal, castigating Obamafor proposals that will boostspending in such areas as ed-ucation, public works and re-search, and charging that Oba-ma’s cuts are not deep enough.They vowed to push ahead

with their own plans to trim$61 billion in spending fromthe seven months left in thecurrent budget year and thensqueeze Obama’s 2012 budgetplan for billions of dollars inadditional savings in responseto voters alarmed at an un-precedented flood of red ink.

Conservatives let flywith insults WASHINGTON (AP) —

President Barack Obama?Weak, a socialist and a liar.Liberals? Monsters and a can-cer. Former Vice PresidentDick Cheney? Called a warcriminal, “murdering scum”and a draft dodger — by peo-ple in his own party.Just a month after the Ari-

zona shooting rampage led tobipartisan calls for toned-down political discourse, inci-vility suffused the year’slargest gathering of conserva-tives. Just like at most parti-

san get-togethers on eitherend of the ideological spec-trum.The brief political time out

is over — if it ever really ex-isted.“All right, sit down and

shut up,” Cheney said afterbeing greeted by hecklerswhen he made a surprise ap-pearance at the ConservativePolitical Action Conference.Supporters shouted down theinsults with a “U.S.A.” chant,and a visibly annoyed Ch-eney brushed off the out-bursts.Such incivility didn’t over-

whelm the conference, whichis a rite of passage for presi-dential contenders, right-lean-ing media personalities andgrass-roots activists. But itkept popping up throughoutthe three-day affair in speech-es by names big and not so big.

Jay-Z, John Legendearly Grammy leaders LOS ANGELES (AP) —

Jay-Z and John Legend werethe early leaders at the Gram-mys on Sunday, as both wereawarded three trophies eachduring the show’s pretelecastceremony.Other multiple winners in-

cluded Lady Gaga, Usher,Lady Antebellum, Jeff Beckand the Black Keys, who allwon two apiece.Eminem was the leading

nominee with 10, but hischance of a huge Grammysweep was diminished as helost five of the awards in thepre-telecast ceremony. Hestill picked up one — best rapsolo performance, for “NotAfraid.”Gospel legend Mavis Sta-

ples was a tearful winner asshe picked up the first Gram-my of her career, for bestAmericana album, for “YouAre Not Alone.”“That was the shock of my

life. My goodness. It’s been along time, a long time com-ing,” she said, breaking intotears.Neil Young also won his

first musical Grammy (he hadwon for best boxed box set in2009). “I’m not Mavis, but I’mclose,” he joked, as he held histrophy for best rock song for“Angry World.”Other notable winners in-

cluded Bruno Mars, Rihanna,Cee Lo Green and DangerMouse, who won producer ofthe year.

Sioux tough it out in poorest county ZIEBACH COUNTY, S.D.

(AP) — In the barren grass-lands of Ziebach County,there’s almost nothing harderto find in winter than a job.This is America’s poorestcounty, where more than 60percent of people live at or be-low the poverty line.At a time when the weak

economy is squeezing commu-nities across the nation, re-cently released census figuresshow that nowhere are thenumbers as bad as here — acounty with 2,500 residents,most of them Cheyenne RiverSioux Indians living on areservation.

In the coldest months of theyear, when seasonal construc-tion work disappears and theSouth Dakota prairie freezes,unemployment among theSioux can hit 90 percent.Poverty has loomed over

this land for generations. Re-peated attempts to create jobshave run into stubborn obsta-cles: the isolated location, thearea’s crumbling infrastruc-ture, a poorly trained popula-tion and a tribe that strugglesto work with businesses or at-tract investors.Now the tribe — joined by

a few entrepreneurs, a devel-opment group and a nonprof-it — is renewing efforts to cre-ate jobs and encourage adowntrodden population tostart its own businesses.

Stardust and comet Tempel 1occurs on Valentine’s Daysome 210 million miles fromEarth. Hurtling at 24,000 mph,Stardust will fly within 125miles of the potato-shapedcomet, snapping picturesalong the way.If successful, it will be the

First lady says laughter is key to togethernessWASHINGTON (AP) — Here’s

Michelle Obama’s advice for couples thisValentine’s Day: laugh with your part-ner.She says it’s what she and President

Barack Obama do, and it seems to beworking. Their marriage, although test-ed throughout the years by his politicalambitions — for the Illinois Senate, theU.S. Senate and later president — is go-ing on 19 years.“I think a lot of laughing,” the first

lady said Tuesday at a White Houseluncheon with reporters who asked aboutthe Obamas’ union. “I think in our housewe don’t take ourselves too seriously, andlaughter is the best form of unity, I think,in a marriage.“So we still find ways to have fun to-

gether, and a lot of it is private and per-sonal. But we keep each other smilingand that’s good,” she added.It also helps that Obama is “very ro-

mantic.”“He remembers dates, birthdays,”

Mrs. Obama said last week on “Live!With Regis and Kelly. “He doesn’t for-get a thing, even when I think he is. . I’llhave a little attitude. I give him a littleattitude, but he always comes through.”“Got to keep the romance alive, even

in the White House,” she said.As for Valentine’s Day, the first lady

said her husband would do right by giv-ing her jewelry.“You can’t go wrong,” she said.But Mrs. Obama also said they don’t

fuss too much over the day that’s aboutcelebrating love and affection betweencouples.

Last year, the Obamas spent Valen-tine’s Day at the Camp David presiden-tial retreat in Maryland.In 2009, their first year in the White

House, they went home to Chicago andenjoyed a quiet dinner at Table 52, a tra-ditional Southern restaurant owned byArt Smith, the former chef of Obama palOprah Winfrey.How will they celebrate this year?

Stay tuned.“We don’t make a big deal out of

Valentine’s Day because my birthdaywas the 17th (of January),” she told Reg-is Philbin and Kelly Ripa. She noted, too,that Christmas was just a few weeks be-fore that.“So by Feb. 14, we’re kind of tired,”

Mrs. Obama said.For her 47th birthday last month, the

Obamas dined at The Source, celebritychef Wolfgang Puck’s restaurant at theNewseum in Washington.

First lady Michelle obama jokingly asks president Barack obama to look at her sincerely as they participate in a ceremony honoring women from around the world.

Egyptian military dissolves parliament


Students who might notnormally have an opportuni-ty to go to college becausethey struggled in high schoolor received low scores on theSAT are getting anotherchance at Livingstone.

The school’s Bridge Pro-gram helps put those stu-dents on the fast track to suc-cess.

“They come in during thesummer for a six-week ses-sion where they participatein a bunch of things to getthem ready for college,” pro-gram director SylvesterKyles said. “We really workwith them to help them besuccessful.”

During the six-week peri-od students get up everydayat 6:15 a.m. for a workout,morning devotion and break-fast before heading to class.

“At the end of their aca-demic day they have a 90-minute tutoring session inwhich tutors help them withtime management and organ-

ization,” Kyles said. “We findout what their learning stylesare and help them with studyskills.”

Afternoons consist of in-termural sports, performingarts classes and free time inthe computer lab.

“The evening is summedup with a wrap session withour student staff, which con-sists of former Bridge stu-dents and students who aredoing exceptionally well,”Kyles said. “That gives themthe college student perspec-tive.”

Kyles said the programgoes hand-in-hand with Pres-ident Dr. Jimmy Jenkins’ ho-listic approach.

“We try to appeal to thewhole student,” he said.

On the weekends, studentstravel to a variety of placesranging from civil rights mu-seums to water parks.

And every Sunday theyvisit local churches for morn-ing service.

“The students love it, theywish they could just doBridge the whole four years

they are here because theyget so much support andlove,” Kyles said.

Kyles said after the six-week program is over stu-dents aren’t abandoned.

“During the academicyear we meet every Mondayat 11 a.m. so that they are incontact with each other,” hesaid.

Kyles said the programcontinues to provide tutoringand academic advisingthroughout their time at Liv-ingstone.

“We check up with themfour times each semester tomake sure they are going toclass and doing well,” he said.“We also have an open doorpolicy.

“And, they have my num-ber, they know can contactme 24-7 and they do.”

Kyles has worked withyouth for more than 30 years,but he finds his role asBridge program directormost rewarding.

“I like to see when thelight bulb goes off and theyhave the opportunity to see

they can be whoever theywant to be,” he said.

Six students graduatedfrom the Bridge program lastspring, one in the top of herclass.

The program recruitsabout 100 students eachyears through recommenda-tions from guidance coun-selors, principals, teachersand pastors.

“The program is actuallyworking and students arereaping the benefits,” Kylessaid. “They are positioningthemselves to make somepositive contributions to so-ciety.

“It’s awesome becausethese are kids that everybodyhad written off.”

Bridge program gives Livingstonestudents a second chance

in a situation where they canbest function and be success-ful.

“We think changing atti-tudes and behaviors makes ahuge difference.”

Campus changesFreshmen entering Living-

stone must sign a contract tolive on campus for three years.

“You can be very distract-ed as a young person whenyou’ve got your own apart-ment, we are trying to keepthem focused on why they arehere,” he said.

Freshman are also not al-lowed to have cars on campus.. “That, again, is another dis-traction because you can jumpin your car and drive off cam-pus,” Jenkins said. “If you did-n’t have a car you would prob-ably spend more time on cam-pus.”

The campus is alsoequipped with a swipe cardsystem.

“We can track studentswherever they are on cam-pus,” Jenkins said. “That’s im-portant to us because it helpsto diagnose a student situa-tion.”

Jenkins said if a studentsgoes to their adviser aboutproblems in class they can pullup the data and see if the stu-dent is habitually late or nev-er goes to the library.

“It may look like a bootcamp type environment, butwhat it’s really our attempt toprovide locks for honest peo-ple,” he said. “It will help keeptheir focus on why they camehere.”

The college is also servingmore fruits and vegetables inthe cafeteria and encouragingstudents to get involved in ex-ercise.

“We are trying to makethem more conscience of theirlifestyles and how they live,”Callahan said. “We’re also try-ing to get them up and mov-ing.”

Jenkins said he’s also work-ing to reduce obesity becauseit leads to other ailments suchas diabetes.

“Our goal is to have our stu-dents graduate as fit andhealthy as possible,” he said.

Real world skillsJenkins said in an effort to

produce more well-roundedgraduates, the college is alsoteaching students about mon-ey management and debt.

“Too many of our studentsget attracted to these easily ac-quired credit cards, but don’tunderstand they are amassingdebt,” he said. “Too often bythe time they graduate theyhave amassed major dept,which keeps them from doingother things in life.”

The college is teaching stu-dents how to manage moneyand overcome debt through itsOutstanding Balance Reduc-tion Plan.

“They receive jobs both onand off campus and they mon-ey they earn goes toward pay-ing off that debt,” Jenkins said.“We get work done on campusthat ordinarily we would out-source, so it helps the collegereduce expenses and studentspay down debt.”

And, Jenkins said the pro-

gram doesn’t just provide stu-dents with financial aid.

“It also teaches them workethics, the importance of be-ing on time and doing a job welland how to earn an income,” hesaid.

Students can also becomecertified in CPR, which Jenk-ins said means they have thepotential to be lifesavers.

As part of the Holistic Col-lege, every student must taketwo semesters of Spanish.

“It’s the second-most usedlanguage in the country so wewant all of our students to haveconversational Spanish skills,”Callahan said.

Jenkins said Spanish wasthe chosen language becausehe believe students will actu-ally come into contact withSpanish-speakers.

“We would love to be morediverse, but our resourcesdon’t dictate that so we decid-ed to focus our resources onSpanish,” he said.

Benefits of Holistic College?

Although the Holistic Col-lege was created to fostergrowth of the entire students,Jenkins said there is also an-other payoff.

“The goal is to increase thegraduation rate ... all of thesethings are designed to getmore students to graduate,” hesaid.

Jenkins said the HolisticCollege is helping change theculture at Livingstone.

“Somebody might think thisis not what would be expectedat a college or university,” hesaid. “But, if you keep doingwhat you’ve always you get thesame results.

“We expect to get differentresults.”

Callahan said he believesthe Holistic College will giveLivingstone an edge in the fu-ture.

“I think it’s going to give usa niche,” he said. “It kind ofmakes us different than otherinstitutions that are our size.”

What’s next?Jenkins said he won’t be

making any drastic changes inthe future.

“We need to take a look atwhat kind of results we’re get-ting,” he said. “We need to seewhere we might need to tweakhere and there to sort of getbetter results, that will dictatewhat other things need to bedone.”

Jenkins said the success ofthe Holistic College will bemeasured by retention rates.

“That will really dictatehow we are going to go aboutmaking changes.”

BOSTON — LeBron Jamesand the Mi-ami Heatcouldn’t winin Boston in

the regular season. And nowthey might have to do it in theplayoffs.Rajon Rondo had a triple-

double, and James missed acrucial free throw with 12.5seconds left in the Celtics’ 85-82 victory over Miami on Sun-day. Boston improved to 3-0against the Heat this season,taking back the top spot in theEast and clinching the poten-tial tiebreaker for home-courtadvantage in the playoffs.The teams will play again

in Miami on April 10.

“They are the defendingEastern Conference champi-ons. You have to go throughthem, and they ain’t going tomake it easy,” Heat coachErik Spoelstra said. “We un-derstand that this isn’t goingto be an easy ride for us, andthat’s where we’re at ourbest.”The Heat eliminated most

of a 13-point fourth-quarterdeficit and trailed 83-81 with19 seconds left when theybrought the ball in from atimeout and got it to James atthe top of the key. He droveon Paul Pierce and drew thefoul but missed the first shot,then made the second.On the ensuing inbound

pass, James went into thestands for the ball but merely

knocked it to Ray Allen; theCeltics got the ball downcourtto Glen “Big Baby” Davis, whowas fouled. Davis hit both foulshots with 6.3 seconds to go,and Mike Miller missed a 3-point attempt in the final sec-onds that would have sent thegame to overtime.“They’re going to be a dif-

ferent team in March andApril, the more importantmonths, when we’ll probablyhave to see them again,” saidPaul Pierce, who was 0-for-10from the floor and scored justone point. “It gives us the se-ries in case something hap-pens with a tiebreaker.”The Celtics have won 12 of

WINSTON-SALEM — C.J.Leslie’s sus-pension isover. Per-haps so too

are those pesky struggles onthe road for North CarolinaState, which once againshowed just how wide the gulfis between last place and next-to-last in the Atlantic CoastConference.The freshman returned

from a one-game suspensionand scored 19 points to helpthe Wolfpack rout Wake For-est 80-55 on Sunday for theirmost lopsided league victoryon the road in 56 years.“This was a game we need-

ed,” Leslie said.Tracy Smith scored 20

points to lead N.C. State (13-11, 3-7) to its first win of theseason on an opponent’s reg-ular home court, though theWolfpack did beat Elon at theGreensboro Coliseum. N.C.State, which never trailed,snapped a four-game losingstreak by convincingly win-ning a matchup of the ACC’stwo worst teams in whatcoach Sidney Lowe called“the best game we’ve put to-gether in a while.”“Guys are smiling because

we got a win,” Smith said.“On the road, at that. We’vegot to keep moving forwardfrom here.”Freshman Travis McKie

Duke holds off MiamiBY TIM REYNOLDS

CORAL GABLES, Fla. — Dukecoach MikeK r z y z e w s k ilooked down hisbench midway

through the first half, trying tocheck on Nolan Smith.Small problem: Smith wasn’t

there.“That’s not a good thing,”

Krzyzewski said.Fortunately for No. 5 Duke,

Smith returned in plenty of time.Playing with a scratched left eye,

the senior guard scored 16 of his 18points in the second half, Seth Cur-ry added 16 points and five stealsand Duke extended its AtlanticCoast Conference lead by holdingoff Miami 81-71 on Sunday night.“It was closed for a while,” Smith

said. “I really didn’t know what wasgoing on at the time. They just

numbed it up a bit at halftime. NowI feel fine.”His teammates more than helped

the cause.Kyle Singler scored 14 and Ma-

son Plumlee 12 for the Blue Devils(23-2, 10-1). Duke’s record after 25games matches its best since the2005-06 season.It turned out to be a nifty gift for

Krzyzewski, on his 64th birthday.“It’s unbelievable being 52,”

Krzyzewski said. “I know I look alot older.”Reggie Johnson scored 16 points

on 7-of-9 shooting for Miami (15-10,4-7), which was bidding for its firstfour-game ACC winning streaksince February 2008. The Hurri-canes fell to 1-17 since 2000 againstteams ranked in the AP Top 25, thelone win coming against Duke threeseasons ago.The Blue Devils didn’t let that

NASCAR season got off to wild startBY JENNA FRYER

Associated Press

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Itwas a two-car tango at Daytona In-ternational Speedway, where thewild, pack racing was replaced Sat-urday night by sizzling fast speedsand a strange ending that gave KurtBusch the win in the BudweiserShootout.The exhibition race was the first

test on Daytona's smooth new pave-ment, and speeds at times hit 206

mph in a race that had a record 28lead changes among nine drivers.The final pass, though, was ruled

illegal as Denny Hamlin was dis-qualified for going below the out-of-bounds line.It made Busch, who actually

crossed the finish line in secondplace, the first Dodge driver to winthe non-points race that has openedSpeedweeks for the last 33 years."What an unbelievable experi-

ence, this two-car draft. I had noidea what to expect going in," Busch

said. "I was just going to take it onelap at a time and see how it playedout."The ruling against Hamlin by

NASCAR was not controversial.The yellow-line rule has been in ef-fect and enforced since NASCARreturned to Daytona in July 2001,nearly five months following thelast-lap accident that killed DaleEarnhardt. "I thought it was a great, three-

wide finish," said Hamlin, "but obvi-ously I used some pavement I

shouldn't have."It was instead the style of racing

seen Saturday that created the mostcontroversy as the opinions be-tween drivers and fans differedgreatly.The racing at Daytona had for so

long been a white-knuckle, bumper-to-bumper mob of race cars unableto pull away from each other. Carscould shoot through the field at will,but one small bobble often created

BY CHRIS JENKINSAssociated Press

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.— NASCAR is back — and sois Juniormania.Dale Earnhardt Jr. re-

claimed the spotlight in Day-tona speedweeks, winningpole position for the Daytona500 with a lap of 186.089 mphin qualifying Sunday.It’s a boost for Earnhardt,

who is coming off a couple ofdisappointing seasons andspent part of the past weekfacing questions about the 10-year anniversary of his fa-ther’s death at the track.Still, Earnhardt was in an

upbeat, joking mood after win-ning the pole. And while he un-derstands the hype his pres-ence on the pole and his fam-ily ties are bound to stir upthis week, he’ll mostly try toignore it.“I wouldn’t embrace that,”

Earnhardt said. “I’m here torace. And I understand the sit-uation and I’m looking for-ward to seeing how my fatheris honored and rememberedthroughout the week, and I’llenjoy that, but I don’t reallyget into the hypothetical,fairy-tale sort of stuff. I justwant to focus on my job.”Earnhardt’s Hendrick Mo-

torsports teammate, Jeff Gor-don, qualified second. It’s thesecond straight Daytona 500front row sweep for Hendrick,who put Mark Martin on thepole and Earnhardt in the No.2 spot last year.The rest of the field will be

set after a pair of qualifyingraces Thursday. Bill Elliott,Travis Kvapil and Joe Ne-mechek also clinched spots inthe field, and Terry Labonteis assured of a starting spot.Having NASCAR’s most

popular driver take the greenflag first next Sunday couldprovide some traction for asport looking to pick up sag-ging television ratings and at-tendance.An Earnhardt win would be

even bigger.“I think that’s just kind of

going to build the hype and ex-citement for next Sunday’srace,” Gordon said. “I love tobring back a lot of these mem-ories about Dale and what hebrought to the sport, his lega-cy, and it reminds me of a lotof the things I learned fromhim and the good times thatwe had. I think it’s very coolto pay attention to that and tocelebrate it.”But Earnhardt acknowl-

edged that qualifying resultsaren’t necessarily a good pre-dictor of success in the race.“It obviously gives you a

good idea that you’ve got agreat car, but anyone can win

enough fight tonight. Period,”McKie said. “I’m not trying tosugarcoat nothing. Theyplayed hard. We didn’t. Theyexecuted. We didn’t. Theybanged to the boards. We did-n’t. Just a bad showing on ourpart.”Leslie was 7 of 13 from the

field for the Wolfpack, whowere coming off a dishearten-ing 24-point loss to No. 5 Dukeeight days earlier — a gameLeslie missed while he wassuspended for violating an un-specified team rule.“It wasn’t so much about

sending a message. It was justthe policy,” Lowe said. “I’mnot a coach that holdsgrudges, so to speak. Youngmen, they’re going to makemistakes, but it’s up to us ascoaches to try to help them tounderstand. He worked histail off, he came back to prac-tice, he showed no signs of be-ing upset about anything ...and he was great in practice.Then he came out and playedwell today.”N.C. State shot 55.9 percent

(33 of 59) against a Wake For-

est defense that allows its op-ponents to shoot nearly 45 per-cent, and the Wolfpack final-ly separated themselves witha 20-6 run early in the secondhalf that put them up by dou-ble figures to stay. Leslie hadconsecutive fast-break buck-ets before Scott Wood cappedthe burst with a stickback thatmade it 59-41 with 11 minutesleft.“What really helped us was,

our bigs were running,” Lowesaid. “If you want to be a run-ning team, then you have tohave bigs that are running.”Wake Forest didn’t get

closer than 13 the rest of theway, and Lorenzo Brown lat-er put N.C. State up 20 for thefirst time when his layup withjust over 4 minutes left madeit 73-53.N.C. State finished with 22

assists to only 11 turnovers,held a 36-26 rebounding ad-vantage and scored 46 pointsin the paint. Those are threebig reasons why the Wolfpackclaimed their most one-sidedroad victory in league playsince winning at Clemson andat then-ACC member SouthCarolina by 30 and 29 points,respectively, on consecutivedays in December 1954.Then again, losing at home

isn’t anything new these daysfor Wake Forest, which is 7-9under first-year coach JeffBzdelik at the once-inhos-

pitable Joel Coliseum.“We know we’re much bet-

ter than we showed today, butthat is meaningless at thispoint,” Bzdelik said. “Andlike this whole season hasbeen, it’s been a learning ex-perience, and I’m confidentthat our young players willlearn from this experience.”For the Wolfpack, this was

the kind of performance theyneeded after slipping all theway to 11th place in theleague, winning in Winston-Salem for only the secondtime in Lowe’s five seasons.After routing the DemonDeacons by 21 points lastmonth in Raleigh, they tookcontrol from the opening tip.

Delaney’s season-high 33 points too much for JacketsAssociated Press

BLACKSBURG, Va. — If Vir-ginia Tech’s Malcolm Delaney need-ed extra motivation for his team’sgame with Georgia Tech, he onlyneeded to look at the box score fromthe last time these two squads met.He scored eight points and turned

the ball over eight times in the Hok-ies’ 72-57 loss to the Yellow Jacketson Jan. 25.His performance the second time

around was much better. Delaneyscored 22 of his season-high 33points in the first half to lead Vir-

ginia Tech past Georgia Tech 102-77on Sunday.The Hokies (16-7, 6-4 Atlantic

Coast Conference) now have won 12of their past 15 games and are alonein fourth place in the ACC.“I worked hard and I played

smarter, and I hit shots,” Delaneysaid, explaining the difference be-tween the two games. “I did what Inormally do. In Atlanta, I just didn’tmake shots.“Honestly, I forgot about that

game. After I came home and got inthe gym, that game was out of mymind. We lost the game, but I wasn’t

thinking about, Oh, we need to playGeorgia Tech and we need to beatthem because of how I played.’ I wasthinking about getting a win. Thatwas my only focus.”Delaney hit 9 of 14 from the floor

for the game, including three 3-point-ers, and he connected on 12 of 14from the free-throw line. He missed his career high in

points by just four.No. 10 UConn 75, Providence 57STORRS, Conn.— Jamal Coombs-

McDaniel, who isn’t a scorer, had acareer-high 25 points and KembaWalker, the Big East's No. 2 scorer,

had 22 as No. 10 Connecticut beatProvidence on Sunday night.Coombs-McDaniel, whose previ-

ous career high was 13 points andwho averages 4.5 points per game,finished 10 for 17 from the field andalso pulled down a career-high eightrebounds for the Huskies (19-5, 7-5).

No. 11 Georgetown 69, Marquette 60WASHINGTON — Chris Wright

scored 20 points, Austin Freemanadded 17 despite limping badly offthe court in the first half, and No. 11Georgetown survived the run-'em-ragged strategy of Marquette coachBuzz Williams to win its eighth

straight game on Sunday.The win moved the Hoyas (20-0,

9-4) into sole possession of thirdplace in the Big East and kept alivetheir longest conference win streaksince 2006-07.

No. 14 Purdue 81, Illinois 70CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — JaJuan

Johnson scored 24 points and E'T-waun Moore added 20 to lead No. 14Purdue to a comeback on Sunday.The Illini (16-9, 6-6 Big Ten) led

32-27 at halftime. The Boilermakers(20-5, 9-3) opened the second halfwith a 10-4 run that gave them a 37-36 lead with 15 minutes to play.

happen again, building a double-digit leadmidway through the second half and control-ling the game from there.“I thought our guys competed,” Miami

coach Frank Haith said. “Obviously, we hadsome breakdowns defensively and gavethem some open looks. ... A lot of brokenplays.”Miami got within six points twice in the

final minute, only to have Tyler Thornton hittwo free throws on ensuing Duke possessionsto keep the Hurricanes out of reach. Dukefinished 17 of 21 at the foul line, comparedwith 5 of 6 by Miami.“We’ve got to figure out a way to get to

that free throw line,” Haith said.Malcolm Grant also scored 16 and Durand

Scott added 10 points and a game-high eightassists for the Hurricanes, who play four oftheir last six regular-season games on theroad.In short, when Smith got rolling, every-

thing started to click for Duke.He went to the bench with two fouls —

and a bigger problem — with 13:08 left in theopening half.After fouling Johnson, Smith was inad-

vertently poked in the eye, and that wasDuke’s bigger concern. It turned out to be amissed opportunity for Miami.The Hurricanes were down 16-15 when

Smith left the game, and the deficit was 31-27 when he returned, in part because Mia-mi’s best scorer was on the bench as well.Grant scored 12 points and hit three 3-point-ers in the first 6:53 of the game, then sat outthe final 9:32 until halftime after getting hissecond foul.

“Frustrating,” Grant said. “I’m not outthere able to help my team in every way pos-sible.”Smith didn’t make his first field goal un-

til 15:16 remained in the game, a pull-up intransition. Once he started, the scores camein bunches.

He made three more shots in the next 3minutes, capped by a driving layup after Ju-lian Gamble missed a dunk at the other endto give Duke what was then its biggest lead,61-51 with 11:34 remaining.Curry carried Duke in the first half with

13 points. Smith assumed the workload fromthere.“We came up with big stops,” Curry said.

“At times, they were getting whatever theywanted, with open shots and Johnson inside.When we needed them the most, we came upwith the stops.”Duke hadn’t played since Wednesday’s 79-

73 home win over North Carolina, a game inwhich the Blue Devils fought their way backfrom an early 16-point deficit.They started slowly Sunday as well. Mia-

mi made its first four shots, capped by Grantconnecting on a 3-pointer while gettingfouled by Smith for a quick 10-4 lead.Things calmed down quickly.Duke scored the next seven points, and

although Miami reclaimed the lead six moretimes during a back-and-forth first half, theHurricanes’ biggest edge came at 37-33 af-ter Rion Brown made a 3-pointer with 2:46left.Duke closed the half on a 9-0 run, and af-

ter Miami got within one early in the sec-ond half, another 9-0 burst — fueled whenSmith finally found his scoring groove —pushed the Blue Devils’ lead back to doubledigits.“Difference in the game,” Haith said.

afterthought Sunday, as driv-ers and crew chiefs were pre-occupied with NASCAR’s re-action to the sudden emer-gence of two-car drafting sud-denly becoming the fast wayto get around Daytona.With the drafting duos

pushing speeds past 200 mph,NASCAR officials imposed re-strictions the cars’ coolingsystems Sunday evening.It’s an attempt to make it

more difficult for one car topush another all the wayaround the track because thepushing car’s engine mightoverheat; limiting the draft-ing tandems could reducespeeds.Earnhardt said he liked the

old style of racing at Daytona,where drivers had to zigzagthrough one big pack of cars— after all, he was pretty goodat it.“I prefer the other style

better,” Earnhardt said. “But,I mean, it was fun last night. Iprefer having more choices inmy own destiny, I guess. Noth-ing against what happenedlast night. I thought it was anexciting race to be in, excitingending to watch. Differentthan what we’re used to.”Earnhardt, the 2004 Day-

tona 500 winner, has fallen onhard times in recent years. Hehasn’t won a race since 2008.But winning the pole at

Daytona could be an early in-dication that Hendrick Motor-sports’ offseason crew shake-up might have the No. 88 teampointed in the right direction.

Although Jimmie Johnsonwon his fifth consecutivechampionship last season,team owner Rick Hendrickreshuffled the deck for therest of his teams.Earnhardt was paired with

Steve Letarte, who had beenGordon’s crew chief, andEarnhardt’s No. 88 team was

moved into the same raceshop as Johnson and crewchief Chad Knaus.“I really enjoy the way the

team approaches their jobsand what their goals are,”Earnhardt said. “I sort of likethe way they go about busi-ness, how they conduct them-selves. I’m enjoying every-

thing I’m seeing.”Gordon got crew chief Alan

Gustafson, who had beenpaired with Martin, and Mar-tin teams with crew chiefLance McGrew.“The chemistry among the

team and just seeing their at-titude and everything, it’sbeen awesome,” Gordon said.

“It’s been that way since Rickmade that announcement,through the tests, whether itbe the Daytona test or theshort track test that we did.It’s all been very positive.This is just another thingthat’s added to that, thatchemistry and momentum,which is great.”

The NASCAR notebook...DAYTONA BEACH,

Fla. — Daytona Interna-tional Speedway is askingfor a moment of silenceon the third lap of theDaytona 500 as a tributeto the late Dale Earn-hardt.Earnhardt was killed in

an accident on the last lapof the 2001 Daytona 500.The speedway consideredvarious ways to mark the10-year anniversary ofEarnhardt's death."We felt the appropri-

ate way to honor DaleEarnhardt was in the ac-tual racing," said trackpresident Joie Chitwood."The best way to appreci-ate the things Dale did —he was about racing —and how we respect himshould be on the track.That to us was a real rac-ing tribute and more ap-propriate than anythingwe could have done in thepre-race show."Chitwood said track of-

ficials were working withthe broadcast partners togo silent on the third lapof the Feb. 20 race. Fanswill also be asked to standand raise three fingers onthat lap.The No. 3 will also be

painted into the grass atDaytona on Saturdaynight before the season-opening race.

2-CAR HOOKUPSNASCAR is consider-

ing several technicalchanges that could limitthe two-car hookups thatdominated the first raceof the season.The exhibition Budwe-

sier Shootout featured adramatically differentstyle of racing as drivershooked up in pairs be-cause it was the fastestway around Daytona In-ternational Speedway.It was fast — Michael

Waltrip at one pointtopped 206 mph — and astark contrast from theprevious tight pack rac-ing that fans have em-braced at Daytona.Teams say ideas being

discussed by NASCARare changes to the coolingsystems that would re-duce the number of lapstwo cars can stay hookedtogether.

dangerous accidents.When the track opened last

month for testing, though, teamshad seemingly figured out the newNASCAR rule packages and thesmooth surface at Daytona had cre-ated a new strategy of two-car rac-ing.So from the start of Saturday's

75-lap race, the field was quicklysplit into several packs of two cars.It lasted all the way to the end, whentwo packs of two had pulled so faraway from everyone else that theywere the only four drivers in con-tention for the win.Ryan Newman was leading Ham-

lin around the oval, with Busch andDaytona 500 winner Jamie McMur-ray trailing close behind. Newman,as the leader, said he knew he was "asitting duck" as he waited for Ham-lin's attempted pass.It came as they closed in on the

checkered flag, when Hamlin dove

low and eventually under the yellowline that circles the bottom of thetrack.Busch then skirted around New-

man at the top of the track, pullingMcMurray with him.Hamlin was black-flagged and

fell to 12th in the final standings,while Busch was declared the win-ner with McMurray and Newmanfinishing second and third.Hamlin understood NASCAR's

ruling."That yellow line's there to pro-

tect us and the fans in the standssafety. I just chose to take the saferroute," he said. "Winning a Shootout'snot worth sending (Newman)through the grandstands, and forme, as fast as what we're running, ifI get into his left rear, that car willgo airborne."It's a tough position. I probably

should have gone high to avoid thatwhole thing."Busch gushed praise on McMur-

ray, a friend off the track who hecredited for pushing him around theoval and staying on his rear bumperso that Busch could pick up his first

win at Daytona."He was the man tonight. He

stayed with us. He stayed true,"Busch said. "I can't thank himenough for doing that."McMurray, like everyone else,

used the closing laps to get an ideaof how next week's season-openingDaytona 500 may be won."It looks like third place is the

place to be (on the final lap)," Mc-Murray said. "You know the second-place guy will try to go for the win.You have to hope the guy in fourthwill stay (behind) the guy who's inthird."Some drivers liked the racing,

and Newman, who for years hasrailed against the dangers of restric-tor-plate races, was in favor of thenew style."I honestly liked the way it sepa-

rated out," he said. "When you're sit-ting four rows deep in the middle ofthree wide, there's nothing you canphysically do to make anything anydifferent. When you are in those po-sitions, or those two-car packs, youhave a little more versatility tomove around. I would rather it be

the way it was than they way it hasbeen at Talladega, three wide 10rows deep."And although hysteria often ac-

companies speeds that creep tooclose to 200 mph, McMurray saidhe didn't even notice a difference.NASCAR can change the size of thehorsepower-sapping restrictorplates to reduce the speeds, and cando it at anytime before next Sun-day's race."You can't tell the difference if

you're going 180 or 220," McMurraysaid. "I never went 220, but youcan't tell the difference in thespeed."But it made for an active night

for the spotters, who had to coachtheir drivers around the track untilthey figured out a strategy."It's so hard. I've got a headache

right now from just trying to bestrategic," Hamlin said.At one point, Jeff Gordon sarcas-

tically radioed his team his take onthe race."I figured it out," he said. "It’s

like playing chess on the edge of acliff with the wind at 50 mph.”

SALISBURY POST T V / H O R O S C O P E MONDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 2011 • 11B

Monday, Feb. 14Look for enterprises or endeavors that are

glamorous and/or imaginative in the comingmonths, because something that possessesthese elements will likely produce some bigscores.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — It’s wonder-ful that you want to want to help those in need,but be careful to not bite off more than youcan chew and end up jeopardizing your ownaffairs.

Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — If you have aslim wallet at the moment, find inexpensiveways to gratify your desires. Don’t deceiveyourself into believing that spending lots ofmoney guarantees a good time.

Aries (March 21-April 19) — Continuallyrehashing issues is a sure way to blow thingsout of proportion, especially if you’re doingso in order to convince someone with whomyou don’t agree. You won’t gain a thing.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Unless you al-low yourself adequate time to get all your er-rands done, you’re likely to feel pressured.Be careful, because rushing can causemishaps and unsavory gaffes.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Rushing aboutcould cause impulsive inclinations that arelikely to encourage you to spend far more thanyou should. Try to be prudent where your fi-nances are concerned.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Should thosevery same people who usually back you upinstead do things that would unintentionallyblock your path, don’t get all in a dither. Workaround their efforts.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — If things don’t gothe way you are anticipating, don’t start point-ing the finger of blame at someone. Spendyour energy rearranging what you can.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Be your own per-son when it comes to important matters. Ifyou believe that you are right, don’t allowyourself to be pressured into doing things thatgo against your better judgment

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Because the spot-light is apt to be focused on you, whether youlike it or not, be careful not to behave in amanner that could tarnish your image. Yourcritics will be watching you closely.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Usually you’repretty good at judging the abilities and limi-tations of others, and you hang out with thosewho are capable of bringing about what youwant. Currently, not so much, however.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — If you’retoo insistent on comparing the trappings offriends against what you have, you won’t beable to see the virtues you possess that total-ly outweigh theirs. Open your eyes.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — That wonder-ful quality you have of giving the other guythe benefit of the doubt could be absent at thisjuncture. If you judge people too harshly,you’ll put limitations on your options.

Know where to look for romance and you’llfind it. The Astro-Graph Matchmaker instant-ly reveals which signs are romantically per-fect for you. Mail $3 to Astro-Graph, P.O. Box167, Wickliffe, OH 44092-0167.

Carmen Electra asked,“Is there a rehab center forCoke drinkers? I drink sixto eight cans a day.”When the World Bridge

Federation joined the In-ternational Olympic Com-mittee, players had to obeyits drug rules, which re-stricted caffeine. Howev-er, the IOC has relented,accepting that caffeine isnot a performance-enhanc-ing drug for a bridge play-er, as it might be for an ath-lete; it just helps contest-ants to stay awake.Today’s deal, though,

features not eight cans buteight hearts. How wouldyou plan the play in fourhearts? West leads the clubace, and East signals withthe queen. The defenderscash two more tricks in thesuit, then cast adrift with aspade.Note South’s two-spade

rebid. North’s two-heartraise did not guaranteefour-card support. So, incase North had only threehearts, perhaps with 1-3-5-4 distribution, Southshowed his chunky secondsuit. North, holding fourhearts, was happy to jumpto game, knowing that hisspade queen was going tobe useful.To get home, you need

the diamond finesse towork and to find the heart

queen.Stop to count the points —

and do not forget that Westpassed as dealer.If West has the diamond

king, you have “seen” 10points: that king and his topclub honors. So, if he also hadthe heart queen, he probablywould have opened the bid-ding. Therefore, you shouldplay East for the heart queen.Win the spade exit with dum-my’s queen, cash the heartace, and play a heart to yourjack. When the diamond fi-nesse works too, all is hunky-dory.

Alwayslook at thefull deal

Dear Dr. Gott: My 26-year-old son has been diagnosedwith homocysteinemia. Itseems that physicians don’tknow a great deal about this.I know it is a genetic diseasethat has something to do withamino acids in his blood. Theneurologist who confirmedthe disease has told us that hehas Marfan-like features (myson is 6 feet 7 inches, 160

pounds andhas longlimbs). He hashad an irregu-lar heart ratefor manyyears thatf l u c t u a t e sfrom 40 intothe hundreds.(His cardiolo-gist said a lotof people havethis.) His lev-

el was 16 at his last blood test.My research states that a nor-mal level is between 3 and 7,but his family doctor (who ad-mits not knowing much aboutthe disease) said 12 could benormal. The neurologist saidhis count was high.What is this disease and

what complications can itcause? He has already hadtwo hospital admissions withsevere pain and no feeling inone leg, which is associatedwith the disease, but no oneseems to be able to give usclear answers as to what todo. What, if any, precautionsshould he take? What impactwill this disease have on him?The neurologist warned us

that he is at a high risk forstroke, but my researchshows many more complica-tions to other organs and lig-

aments. Can you please pro-vide some information aboutthis disease?

Dear Reader: Homocys-teinemia is an elevation of ho-mocysteine (an amino acid) inthe blood. In some cases, ge-netic mutations may cause it.It can also be the result of, orworsened by, certain medicalconditions or medications, aswell as nutritional and envi-ronmental factors, such as vi-tamin B or folic-acid deficien-cy, smoking, coffee consump-tion and more.People with elevated ho-

mocysteine levels are at in-creased risk of developingblood clots, which can lead tostroke, heart attack, deep-vein thrombosis, pulmonaryembolism and more.I urge that your son be

seen by a geneticist for test-ing to determine whether hishomocysteinemia is causedby a genetic mutation. Hemay also wish to undergotesting for Marfan syndromewhile there. (You can readmore about this condition inmy previous article online atwww.AskDrGottMD.com/family-should-be-tested-for-marfan-syndrome.) Heshould be tested for kidneydisease, hypothyroidism,clotting abnormalities andabnormal cholesterol levels.If his blood is clotting abnor-mally, he may benefit fromdaily aspirin or a prescrip-tion anticoagulant medica-tion, such as warfarin, to re-duce the possibility of devel-oping an errant clot. If hischolesterol is elevated, hemay require treatment.Niacin, flaxseed oil, omega-3 oils, and plant sterols and

stanols are good over-the-counter options. Prescrip-tions include statins, selectivecholesterol absorption in-hibitors and others.In the meantime, he should

be on a low-fat diet, reducehis coffee consumption, stopsmoking (if he does), and con-sider taking a vitamin B com-plex supplement.To provide related infor-

mation, I am sending youcopies of my Health Reports“Blood — Donations and Dis-orders,” “Understanding Cho-lesterol,” “Coronary ArteryDisease” and “Stroke.” Otherreaders who would like copiesshould send a self-addressedstamped No. 10 envelope anda $2 check or money orderper report to Newsletter, P.O.Box 167, Wickliffe, OH 44092-0167.

Shaun TannerWundergroundMeteorologist

Another Winter storm will affect the Northeast, but will not bring heavy snow to the area as in past storms. Instead, the main effect of this storm will be the strong wind it will produce in the Northeast as it moves through the area and out into the Canadian Martimes. Several areas will receive a couple inches of new snow, complicating travel in combination with the strong winds. Scattered snow showers are also likely in the Upper Midwest, but this activity will diminish in the afternoon. The strong wind, however, will continue throughout the day. Wind Advisories are in effect for some areas of the Plains and Upper Midwest in anticipation of the strong winds that will blow through the area. In the West, a strong Pacific storm will slam into California, finally bringing an end to the long-standing dry spell that has gripped the state. Rain and high elevation snow will eventually spread through the northern part of the state, with snow falling in the northern Sierra Nevadas in the afternoon and evening. The middle part of the country will be dry, with warmer temperatures spilling into the Plains. The Northeast will rise into the 30s and 40s, while the Southeast will see temperatures in the 60s and 70s. The Southern Plains will rise into the 70s, while the Southwest will see temperatures in the 70s. The Northwest will rise into the 30s and 40s.
