RANDOLPH COUNTY – Three Randolph County organizations have joined up for a project that will reach out to 60 students at Archdale-Trinity Middle School.

As part of a “job shadow-ing project,” Communities In Schools of Randolph County, the Archdale-Trin-ity Rotary Club and the Archdale-Trinity Cham-ber of Commerce are look-ing for businesses to allow employees to participate in the project.

“It’s targeted to eighth-graders, but it gives them a chance to actually spend a lot of time in a career that they kind of have an interest in and give them an idea of what the world of work is all about,” said Gwen Taylor, assistant di-rector of Communities In Schools of Randolph Coun-ty. “A lot of them probably haven’t spent any time oth-er than school or at home, no career experience, so this just gives them a little taste of what to expect.”

Employees will be ex-pected to work with stu-

dents for approximately three hours. Each student will be matched to a busi-ness that closely meets their desired vocational goals.

“We do this job shadow-ing as part of our Tran-sitions Program,” Tay-lor said. “Transitions is geared to middle school

and ninth grade because most kids make the deci-sion to drop out at that age, so we are trying to concentrate on middle school to keep the kids from making that deci-sion to drop out.”

“This is ... why we part-ner with the chamber because they do a have a

broad base of career op-tions for the kids,” Tay-lor added. “The people in the Archdale-Trinity Chamber are always real good just to step up. ... We would really like to have some partners. Because we are partnering with the chamber, the chamber members get the fi rst shot,

but we would love to have some community partners step up.”

For more information on the job shadowing project, call the chamber at 434-2073 or Communities In Schools of Randolph Coun-ty at 625-0008.

TRINITY – A petition with more than 700 signatures against an or-dinance surrounding the parking of tractor-trailers in residential neighborhoods was submitted to the Trinity City Council during its meeting Tuesday.

“We the undersigned, being citi-zens of Trinity, N.C., are against any ordinance that prevents truck drivers from parking their trac-tor-trailers on their own property in the city of Trinity,” the petition reads.

Ed Lohr, a Trinity resident and longtime truck driver, spearhead-

ed the petition. Lohr said his wife and brother also are in the truck-ing business.

“I didn’t see one person who op-posed it,” Lohr said. “They passed that law back in the summer with no representation. They had two or three people from the opposite side. You don’t do politics that way. ... I think most people just don’t want laws telling them what they can put in their yard.”

The ordinance, which was ap-proved in August, prohibited the parking of large trucks – includ-ing cab and trailer, cab only and/or trailers – in residential neigh-borhoods. The ordinance also pro-hibited the parking of large trucks

on any public street unless in the process of loading and unloading.

A moratorium was placed on the ordinance during a October preagenda meeting until the fol-lowing month’s meeting, where the City Council decided to table the ordinance until its retreat.

At the retreat earlier this month, the City Council directed staff to re-work the ordinance after hearing a proposal to make changes to it.

Under the proposal, trucks and trailers will not be allowed to park in R-20, R-12 and RM zoning dis-tricts on local street frontage and corner lots abutting local street frontage. Residents in R-20, R-12 and RM who have major or minor

street frontage would be allowed to park one truck only on their property, but it would be required to be screened from view. Those living in residential agricultural districts (more than 2.5 acres) that have local, major or minor street frontage would be allowed to park one truck and trailer per property if the two are screened from view.

Ann Bailie, Trinity’s city man-ager, said staff is currently work-ing on amendments to the truck ordinance. The City Council is expected to consider the amend-ment next month.

Project reaches out to young students

HIGH POINT – Thomas Meadows thought about purchasing a fore-closed property during his reloca-tion to High Point, but a broken furnace and some heating and electrical problems caused him to rethink his options.

“I was looking at foreclosures to see if I could get a better deal for my money,” said Meadows, an active-duty recruiter for the U.S. Air Force who works in Greens-boro. “Sometimes they required too much work for my budget.”

The process took time, but when his real estate agent told him he

was eligible for the city’s Neighbor-hood Stabilization Program, most of his worries about purchasing a fore-closed home were gone.

Meadows was the fi rst person to buy a home under the NSP, which aims to revitalize neighborhoods that have been hit hard by fore-

closures and abandoned homes. It can offer applicants who do not exceed the area median income up to $7,500 in down payment assis-tance in the form of a three-year deferred loan and up to $20,000 for repairs to the home in the form of a deferred and forgiven loan.

Meadows, a fi rst time home-

buyer under the guidelines of the program, which defi ne a fi rst-time homebuyer as someone who has not owned a home in the last three years, received funds from the city to repair the furnace and electrical problems – problems he wouldn’t have been able to fi x otherwise.

The allocated funds specifi cally fi x problems that keep a house from passing a routine home inspection, said Ken Wall with Providence Realty, who also sold the home to Meadows. The program allows the

buyer to purchase the home before it passes inspection, which usually isn’t allowed. The funds the buyer receives from the program then pay for the repairs needed to bring the home back up to code.

Wall said if it weren’t for the program, Meadows’ home would still be sitting empty in its neigh-borhood, located in the 27265 ZIP code, and Meadows would still be looking for an affordable house.

Now working with the city to make the necessary repairs, Mead-ows also agreed he wouldn’t be in his home without the program.

“At fi rst it seemed a little too good to be true,” he said. “Some-times you get pretty good deals with foreclosures. This takes it one step further so you don’t have to make some of the repairs a fore-closure usually brings.”

CAIRO (AP) – Egypt’s top cleric wants Mus-lims to answer the call to prayer, but not when it’s ringing on their cell-phones.

Grand Mufti Ali Go-maa issued a fatwa, or a religious edict, on Wednesday urging Mus-lims to do away with a popular fad – Quranic verses or the fi ve daily calls to prayer as cell-phone ringtones. The

government-appointed cleric says such ring-tones are inappropriate, misleading and demean-ing to God’s words.

“God’s words are sa-cred. ... He ordered us to respect them and glorify them,” Gomaa said.

Muslims are required to pray fi ve times a day, and the time for this is announced solely with calls to prayers from mosques, Gomaa said.

“The calls to prayer are to announce it is time ... using it as a ringtone is confusing and mislead-ing.”

Edicts, or fatwas, serve as advice for the pious who observe them closely. Gomaa’s edict, published on the offi cial web site of Dar al-Iftah, one of Sunni Islam’s earliest institution for interpreting religion, is not binding.

GUILFORD COUNTY – Oak Ridge School is safe for students, several school district offi cials assured county commissioners during a special joint meeting last week.

School offi cials will reopen the school Feb. 22. It was closed last June to investigate reports of mold and to repair the heating and air conditioning system. Repairs and moving costs could total as much as $1.5 million, according to esti-mates.

Students and staff have com-plained of headaches, fatigue and other problems for years at the school, but investigators found no “smoking gun” in their investiga-tion, which included representa-tives of the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health.

“The district did a thorough job,” said school board member Darlene Garrett, who has followed repairs

closely. “The conditions that made the students sick was because of moisture. The heating and air con-ditioning system did not bring in enough outside air.”

Monitoring will continue after the school reopens to ensure the heating and air-conditioning sys-tem is working properly, school of-fi cials have said. Workers removed nearly all carpets. Repairs should improve building ventilation and humidity control, according to the consulting engineers who guided repairs and the removal of any

mold or mildew discovered dur-ing the process. The district spent $600,000 for new dehumidifying equipment.

“I’m sure we will have a success-ful opening,” said Angelo Kidd, the district’s western region superin-tendent.

“We hope that most parents will say that the school is fi ne,” said Su-perintendent Mo Green.

Mold has been found at the school twice in the past four years and several parents have told the school board they are not confi dent that repairs will provide clean air.

Green said parents can seek transfers “as appropriate” after the school reopens. District offi cials are considering using state tech-nology and bond funds to help pay for the repairs. The district also has fi led lawsuits against building contractors, Green said, to recover some repair costs.

ARLINGTON, Va. (AP) – Ray Vivier had been an adventurer, a Marine veteran who explored the country from South Caro-lina to Alaska, the father of fi ve children.

The 61-year-old also was a man starting to get his life back together after living for years in a shanty beneath a Cleve-land bridge. He had strug-gled with alcoholism, but by November he had a welding job, friends and a place to stay at a board-ing house.

He rescued fi ve people from that house when ar-sonists set it ablaze – but Vivier couldn’t save him-self. He and three others

died, and two people have been charged in their deaths. Vivier’s body, un-claimed and unidentifi ed for weeks, seemed des-tined for an anonymous, modest burial.

However, Jody Fesco – who met Vivier while she was volunteering at a soup kitchen and had even invited him to her wedding – heard that Vivier may have died. Fesco and her husband contacted their friend Haraz Ghanbari, an Associated Press photogra-pher, about the situation. Ghanbari took the lead to make sure Vivier wasn’t forgotten, tracking down the family members and ar-ranging a proper funeral.

On Friday, Vivier’s ashes were inurned at Arlington National Cem-etery with full military honors.

“You can see from what he did that he defi nitely had a good heart,” said Mercedes Cruz, Vivier’s ex-wife of 23 years, who attended the funeral with the couple’s children. “No matter what our dif-fi culties were in our mar-riage, I’m very proud of what’s happened.”

For his grown chil-dren – who now are scat-tered around the country – Vivier had been gone for about 15 years. They know of his heroism now – but they don’t know

much about the man he was trying to become. They remember their dad’s struggles with alco-hol and other troubles.

“What I’m trying to get out of this is to have one good, concrete memory that I can have of him for what he did to save those people,” said his oldest daughter, Elisha Vivier. “I’m proud of the man that he was becoming.”

Vivier was a private in the U.S. Marine Corps in 1965 and 1966, though he didn’t see combat. He was stationed at Parris Island, S.C., Cruz said.

After his discharge, Vivier spent years work-ing as a machinist.

ROCKY MOUNT – Ty-ler Strandberg of Rocky Mount has a hard time getting her mind off her BlackBerry when she drives.

She has crashed three cars in the past three years.

Each time, she was dis-tracted from her driving because she was typing text messages or talking on the phone.

“Sometimes I will zone out and forget I’m driv-ing,” said Tyler, 23. “If I’m on the phone talk-ing about something that takes up all my focus, I’m looking straight ahead – but not even seeing what’s there.”

Her dad, Buckley Strandberg, worries that she will never curb her dangerous habit.

But Buckley, an insur-ance executive, confesses his own weakness for Blackberry and Blue-tooth. He feels compelled to conduct business by phone and e-mail on long, lonely drives between his offi ces in Rocky Mount and Nags Head.

“That’s more than two hours,” said Buckley, 49. “I’m not just going to sit there in the car. I get a lot of work done on that straight, dead stretch of U.S. 64.

“And if I run off theroad, there are rumblestrips that divert me backonto the road. That hashappened occasionally.They seem to work, thoserumble strips.”

Buckley and TylerStrandberg contactedThe News & Observer tocome clean about a prob-lem they share with each

other – and with a lot ofus. They expressed em-barrassment but spokecandidly about how theyrely on their phoneswhen they drive, andhow they try to reducetheir risks.

CHAPEL HILL – It’s mostly collards now, hangers-on from the fall planting season.

In a few weeks, though, seeds will drop into soil enriched by turkey manure compost. Tendrils will climb trellises made from bamboo harvested on the site.

HOPE Gardens, by the railroad tracks on Homestead Road, is a community garden with an asterisk.

If all goes according to plan, local resi-dents who lease its 25 plots will work shoulder to shoulder with three homeless people this spring growing produce for lo-cal restaurants and farmers markets.

Chances are the gardeners won’t even know who is who.

The project is a collaboration of UNC’s Campus Y Homeless Outreach Poverty Eradication (HOPE) organization and the Town of Chapel Hill.

The town owns the 14-acre site and is working with the students through the

Parks and Recreation Department and its Active Living by Design advisory committee.

It’s a long way for UNC junior David Baron, who took a year off from school to help start the garden.

Baron didn’t even have a garden grow-ing up in Atlanta. His father started one through their synagogue after hearing the director of the Atlanta Food Bank speak.

But the garden struggled. With the vegetables all going to the poor, it was hard to get enough people to regularly come out and work. “It just wasn’t sus-tainable,” Baron said.

So HOPE Gardens will be a hybrid. Part will be a traditional community garden, where residents who pay $100 for a plot can take home what they grow. Part will be an urban farm, where vol-unteers and homeless workers will grow broccoli to blueberries. And part will be an education center.

“It’s a very unique model,” said Re-gina Blalock, chair of the town’s Active Living by Design committee, who sees the biggest benefi ts as social.

BURLINGTON – Bur-lington water consum-ers should prepare to see their water bills go up this year.

And next year. And probably the year after that, too.

Now that the city knows it’s going to have to pay at least $22.5 million to up-grade its two water treat-ment plants to conform to the state’s new water laws, city leaders have started planning incre-mental increases to pay for them.

City Manager Harold Owen and Water Re-sources Manager Bob Pat-terson say that increases will probably come over a three-year period to take some of the shock out of rise in cost. Concrete fi g-ures for those increases haven’t been discussed and probably won’t be until budget talks this spring, Owen said Friday.

The bill for a Burlington household using 6,000 gal-lons of water and sewer per month is $46.50.

Friends, Carolinians and countrymen, lend me your ears. I am here to tell you of the death of health care reform, not to praise it. Some politicians have chosen to side with the insurance indus-try against the general welfare of citizens. The evil that men do lives long after them, the good is often interred with their bones, so let it be with health care reform.

Our noble senator has told us that this reform was ambitious … our senator is an honorable man.

Health care reform was prob-ably too ambitious. Held great promise to make care available to all of our countrymen, for young and old, rich and poor. But that was too ambitious … our senator is an honorable man.

To be fair, their goal was not to kill reform as much as to stop the Democrats from achieving success. To accomplish this, they slept with those that are spending $600,000 a day to bury the ambi-tious public option ... our senator is an honorable man, so are they all, all honorable men.

This reform is neither a Repub-lican or Democrat ideology. It has more to do with our experience that the common man is more dis-posed to suffer, while the insur-ance industry is predisposed to keep their anti trust exemption ... our senator is an honorable man.

I do not write to disprove our senator’s position that holds health care out of reach of hard-working people. I write to express my beliefs that the public option was the only tool that would bring about real reform.

If you work with your hands for a living, are a veteran, teacher, student, nurse, Shakespearean actor, then the public option is for you. Call your representatives today. Your call might move them to be more than honorable men.

We’re still stuck in

Bush/Cheney muck

I am totally amused by a fellow letter writer’s request for crit-ics of the Bush administration to sound off. To date, President Obama has salvaged nothing from Cheney and Bush. They gambled Las Vegas style. Thus, we Ameri-cans are harmed infi nitesimally. The U.S. Constitution is dam-aged, the Supreme Court appears retarded for the assist to Cheney and Bush. The damage done

during eight years of lawbreak-ing thrust us Americans to Third World status. The chairman of the Federal Reserve provided a supply of cheap money (1/2, 1 percent), thus assuring funding for foolish wars, foolish Pentagon spending for president Cheney/Bush. Watergate behavior, no foreign policy except threats and name calling. President Bush/Cheney legacy approaches Water-gate smilingly and smellingly. Oh, you too Condoleeza. Eight-year Bush disaster for world domi-nance. The Bush leadership plan for world decline lives on with Cheney’s post-election idiotic diatribes as vice president emeri-tus. Drafted by Bush for divine direction.

Discontinue PART service,

save money

The board of trustees of the Piedmont Authority for Regional Transportation and Executive Director Brent McKinney have discussed a stupid idea of free rides on PART buses.

The residents of several coun-ties are now assessed a fee to subsidize riders, why should the people that use the PART buses ride free? Most people in the area do not ride the buses. If PART ridership is only 453,583 for a year, I suggest that the service be discontinued and the employees be terminated to save money.

Every offi cial seeks grants for all the projects but apparently are mentally challenged because they can’t understand that taxpay-ers must pay for each grant. All

grants and incentives should be stopped immediately. Taxpayers are burdened with excess taxes now and should not be expected to fund additional projects. We need to elect and appoint people that have the ability to make sensible decisions.

We expended millions on Dell and Fed Ex and now Dell is clos-ing and Fed Ex has hired only a small number of employees. Wasted taxpayer money; don’t waste additional funds on PART.

It’s career politicians against

American citizens BY BILL MICHAL

W ake up! This is your alarm clock speaking and the operative word

is “alarm.” I am letting you know the exact time. It is “fi sh or cut bait” time. I realize that when you have been sleeping on the fence for such a long time, it is really diffi cult to shake off the cobwebs and make a real decision. So I will make it very easy for you. All you need to do is answer these three statements as either “true” or “false”:

1) The Founding Fathers of America were nothing exceptional and were just “lucky” that Ameri-ca got off to such a fabulous start.

2) The U.S. Constitution was fairly sharp and agile in its youth but has now grown old, decrepit, and senile.

3) What you want and need for

the rest of your life is to have career politicians making all your decisions and taking care of your assets.

If you answered “true” to the above, I have great news for you. Don’t bother trying to shake the cobwebs; you can discard me altogether. You probably did not know the name but you just learned you are a disciple of “American progressivism.” Our current president and Congress are steering the nation exactly where you want it to go. You don’t need to do anything! When you fi -nally do wake up, the ship of state will be securely and irrevocably chained to the dock of socialism and your every need will be met by the government.

On the other hand, if you answered “false” to the above, you no longer even have time to hit the snooze button. You have major problems: You appar-ently believe George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, James Madison, etc. were individuals of great historic importance. You apparently believe the Constitu-tion is the greatest governmental document ever written and is largely responsible for America having been the greatest nation in the history of mankind.

Worst of all, you apparently want to exercise control over your life and assets, i.e. you desire to remain free. (In all like-lihood the phrase, “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” will ring a familiar bell with you). You are defi nitely out of step with your elected leaders. The good news is that you are still in step with the vast major-ity of Americans. You and they are literally being ignored by the very people who are supposed to represent you.

Understand this very, very clearly: This has nearly noth-ing to do with Democrats versus Republicans. The constantly-used terms, “conservative” and “lib-eral” contribute little to grasping your problem. It is almost totally about career politicians versus American citizens. Even though you have learned that you are not a disciple of “American progres-sivism,” if you roll back over now and do nothing, you might as well be.

Now is the time for every good man and woman to come to the aid of their country. Act now!

H ave you heard about the Jesus rifl es?

ABC News broke the story last week. It seems there was this fellow named Glyn Bindon, who used weapons of war to speak for his faith.

Bindon, who lost his life in a 2003 plane crash, was the founder of Trijicon, a Michigan company that has a $600 million contract to provide gun sights to the U.S. military. Apparently he had a policy, which survived him, of inscribing coded references to Bible verses on the gun sights he manufactured for high-powered rifl es used by U.S. service per-sonnel. So that, for instance, one sight is marked, 2COR4:6, i.e., 2 Corinthians 4:6: “God said, ‘Let light shine out of darkness.’ He made his light shine in our hearts. It shows us the light of God’s glory in the face of Christ.”

Tom Munson, a Trijicon execu-tive, told ABC there was noth-ing wrong or illegal about the inscriptions and noted pointedly that the issue was being raised by a group (presumably meaning the Muslims who have complained) that is “not Christian.” On Thursday, the company agreed

to discontinue the practice.

Still, Munson’s remarks deserve a riposte. Here it is:

In the fi rst place, the gun sights actu-ally seem a clear violation of a regula-tion specifi cally prohibiting service personnel from pros-elytizing in Iraq and Afghanistan.

In the second place, the revela-tion is a fresh embarrassment for the United States, which has labored for nine years to con-vince the Muslim world that it is not leading a Christian crusade against Islam.

In the third place, the coded scriptural references provided a recruiting tool to warlords and terrorists who could truthfully tell followers they were being shot at by Jesus guns.

In the fourth place, Munson’s airy dismissal of his critics as “not Christian” (e.g., we can ig-nore them) speaks volumes about the smug, insular fundamental-ism at work here.

In the fi fth place, there is a

rather jarring cognitive discon-nect involved in seeing weapons of war used to lionize the prince of peace.

And fi nally, in the sixth place: is this not one of the cheesiest expressions of religious faith you’ve ever seen? Not that that would make it unique. On the contrary, we specialize in cheesy expressions of faith here in God’s favorite country. Indeed, you could build a tower unto heaven itself out of all the roadside Jesu-ses, prayer cloths, Ten Command-ments rocks, and other trinkets of a cheap, disposable faith that says nothing, costs nothing, does noth-ing, “risks” nothing, that speaks not of God, external and eternal, but only of the grubby, temporal perspectives and fears of ground-bound women and men.

Last November, the University of Chicago published a study quantifying the blazingly obvious: people tend to create God in their own image, to ascribe to the deity their own opinions, interests and beliefs. But is that really faith, when you reduce God to a bigger version of you?

Mother Teresa’s faith drove her to foreswear material riches

and spend half a century work-ing to uplift the wretched poor of Calcutta.

Martin Luther King Jr.’s faith drove him to gamble his very life in a dangerous campaign to win human and civil rights for Afri-can-American people.

And then there’s Glyn Bindon, whose faith led him to inscribe coded Bible verses on his gun sights.

The point is not that he or we can do what Martin Luther King Jr. did or be who Mother Te-resa was — we all suffer in that comparison. No, the point is that truest faith is not seen in a secret code on a gun sight, a trinket from a store or words on a rock. Rather, faith is seen in the substance of a life lived in service to others, lived as if God were “not” in fact one’s personal echo chamber in the sky.

I submit that this is the only kind of faith that matters. And that it speaks for itself.

SHAKEN WHITE HOUSE: Administration promises sharper focus after latest setbacks. 6A

BRIEFS---Afghans postpone parliamentary elections

KABUL – The Afghan government postponed parliament elections for four months on Sunday, citing security concerns, logistical problems and a lack of enough money from the country’s international partners to pay for them.

The U.S. and its allies urged the Afghans to use the time to reform the electoral system to avoid a repeat of last year’s fraud-marred election, which undercut interna-tional support for Presi-dent Hamid Karzai and threatened the Obama administration’s strategy.

Premier: Israel to keep parts of West Bank

JERUSALEM – Israel’s prime minister declared on Sunday that his country would retain parts of the West Bank forever – a state-ment that infuriated Pales-tinians and could complicate the year-old peace mission of a visiting U.S. envoy.

Prime Minister Ben-jamin Netanyahu laid claim to disputed territo-ry just hours after meet-ing with George Mitchell, the Obama administra-tion’s Middle East envoy.

Offi cials: US drone crashes in Pakistan

PESHAWAR, Pakistan – A suspected U.S. drone crashed in Pakistan’s law-less tribal area near the Afghan border Sunday, a rare mishap for a program Washington has increasing-ly relied on to kill Taliban and al-Qaida militants, said intelligence offi cials and a local resident.

Local tribesmen in North Waziristan were congratulating each other for shooting down the drone, said resident Saudur Rehman.

Saudi girl to be whipped for assault at school

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia – A teenage girl has been sentenced to a 90-lash fl ogging and two months in prison as punishment for assaulting a teacher, a Saudi judge said in an interview published Sunday.

Human rights group Amnesty International said the assault happened after the girl was caught with a camera phone at school. The teenager’s name was not immedi-ately available.

She could be spared with a pardon from King Abdullah, said Judge Riyadh al-Meihdib.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) – The truckers fi lling Haiti’s mass graves with bodies reported ever higher numbers: More than 150,000 quake victims have been buried by the government, an of-fi cial said Sunday.

That doesn’t count those still under the debris, carried off by relatives or killed in the outlying quake zone.

“Nobody knows how many bodies are buried in the rubble – 200,000? 300,000? Who knows the overall death toll?” said the of-fi cial, Communications Minister Marie-Laurence Jocelyn Lasse-gue.

Dealing with the living, mean-while, a global army of aid work-ers was getting more food into people’s hands, but acknowledged

falling short. “We wish we could do more, quicker,” said U.N. World Food Program chief Josette Sheeran, visiting Port-au-Prince.

In the Cite Soleil slum, U.S. sol-diers and Brazilian U.N. peace-keeping troops distributed food. Lunie Marcelin, 57, said the hand-outs will help her and six grown children “but it is not enough. We need more.”

150,000 quake victims buried

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) – The staff of a nursing home that crumbled in Haiti’s Jan. 12 earthquake gave the last of its food to the el-derly patients Sunday, and caregivers said they didn’t know when or how the next meal would come.

“Now the food is fi n-ished,” cook Jeannine Laurore said as she scraped the last of the mashed corn into a pa-tient’s metal dish.

The quake that dev-astated Haiti’s capital also halted the home’s food donations from the community. Medical as-

sistance has trickled in since The Associated Press fi rst reported on the plight of the dozens

of residents on Jan. 17, but they are still waiting for aid groups to deliver on food pledges.

A girl cries after receiving food in an improvised distribution center organized by the U.N. as a United Nations peacekeeper from Brazil kneels to talk to children at the Cite Soleil neighborhood in Port-au-Prince.

Militants kill Pakistanis for alleged US spying

PESHAWAR, Pakistan – Authorities found the bodies of six Pakistani men near the Afghan border Sunday who were killed by militants for al-legedly spying for the U.S. in an area that has been hit by a wave of drone missile strikes in recent weeks, said intelligence offi cials and residents.

The bodies of the men – one of whom had been decapitated – were found in North Waziristan, part of Pakistan’s lawless tribal region that is dominated by militant groups staging cross-border attacks.

‘FRANKENSTORM’: Experts imagine far worse than recent wild weather in California. 6D

WASHINGTON (AP) – A politically shaken White House promised Sunday a sharper focus on jobs and the economy, but key ad-visers were less sure-foot-ed on health care reform. They took a wait-and-see approach as the dust set-tles from the punishing loss of the late Edward M. Kennedy’s Senate seat.

“The president has al-ways gotten the message,” top Obama adviser David Axelrod said. “The mes-sage is, we need to grow this economy in a way that allows hardworking people who are meeting

their responsibilities to get ahead instead of fall-ing behind.”

Axelrod said that Americans would learn more about White House

plans for the economy on Wednesday when the president delivers his fi rst State of the Union ad-dress. The adviser offered no specifi cs.

President’s advisers promise sharper focus on jobs

WASHINGTON (AP) – President Barack Obama is pressing an overhaul of Wall Street regulations with a push-and-pull strategy – reas-serting his desire for a consumer agency that Republicans despise while proposing new bank restrictions that even Republicans could love.

As he readies for his State of the Union speech Wednesday, the presi-dent’s approach refl ects

the demands of a new po-litical landscape in Wash-ington, where Republi-cans now have the votesto block Democratic ini-tiatives in the Senate.

On the Wall Streetfront, Obama is trying tocapitalize on public an-ger by making a populistpitch sharply critical ofbig bankers while alsoextending a pragmatichand to Republicanswith a proposal that, atthe very least, has in-trigued them.

Obama on banks: A bit pragmatic amid the populism

WASHINGTON (AP) – President Barack Obama’s top political aide says there’s no White House shake-up in the works even as Obama’s campaign manager is given a great-er role in the administration.

David Plouffe will deal mainly with this fall’s elections involving

Congress and governors as Demo-crats try to rebound after last week’s Senate defeat in Massachusetts.

Obama’s chief political strategist, David Axelrod, says Plouffe will take a more active role. But Axelrod says don’t expect a staff shake-up. He says “nothing gets Washington

more excited than someone losing their job.”

Obama’s spokesman, Robert Gibbs, calls Plouffe as smart as any-body “ever seen in politics.”

Axelrod appeared on CNN’s “State of the Union.” Gibbs was on “Fox News Sunday.”

BY DAVID NIVENSENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – To build on a successful offer-ing in Greensboro, school offi cials are considering a twilight school for High Point.

Of the dozens of initia-tives in Superintendent Mo Green’s strategic plan, special schools have raised a lot of interest. School of-fi cials reviewed the plan again Saturday during a retreat in Greensboro.

Twilight schools oper-ate after regular school hours for a minimum of

four hours daily. Students receive assistance in se-curing employment dur-ing the regular school day. The school provides an individual plan for each student.

The Greensboro school

has graduated 130 stu-dents. Another 30 gradu-ated Jan. 21. The program will expand to 100 students in the second semester. A 2012 strategic plan goal calls for increasing the high school graduation rate, and special schools are seen as one way of do-ing that.

“I am glad to see that a High Point site is under consideration,” said school board member Carlvena Foster of High Point.

A parent university that Foster supports is ahead of schedule for its opening as soon as next January

because of public support, according to school offi -cials. The university pro-gram is aimed at helping parents become full part-ners in the education of their children so they can seek higher achievement with them.

Current work includes a parent survey and forming focus groups.

Meanwhile, a proposed high school science acade-my program at the Natural Science Center in Greens-boro, originally scheduled to open this year, still is under development as dis-trict offi cials seek grants

to pay faculty, said Beth Folger, chief academic of-fi cer. The opening could be delayed past August 2011. The school will be science-focused and include hands-on learning.

Overall, of the 79 strate-gies in the plan, eight have been completed, including an administrative reor-ganization with fi ve re-gional offi ces. Seventy-two percent of the plan goals are on time or slightly de-layed, and just six, includ-ing the science academy, are off track.

RANDOLPH COUNTY – Com-munities In Schools of Ran-dolph County has a new home.

Gwen Taylor, CIS of Ran-dolph County assistant direc-tor, said her nonprofit orga-nization recently moved its business office to 1011 Sunset Ave. in Asheboro. CIS of Ran-dolph County was formerly located at 313-A Trindale Road in Archdale.

“This is just moving our business office,” Taylor said. “This will have no impact or at least no detriment on any of the programs that we op-erate in the Archale-Trinity area.”

CIS of Randolph County needed to make the move to Asheboro for several rea-sons.

CIS of Randolph County needed more space to store items for BackPack Pals pro-gram, which provides food for children in Randolph County Schools who would not oth-erwise have food over week-ends.

The move also is expected to reduce expenses because the nonprofit will be more “cen-trally located” in Randolph County, Taylor said.

According to Taylor, CIS of Randolph County is leas-ing an older house in Ashe-boro. She said the nonprofit plans to operate out of that location for the “foreseeable future.”

Taylor emphasized there will be no reduction in ser-vices in the Archdale-Trinity area, with CIS of Randolph County still organizing Bull-dog Buddies, a mentoring program where Trinity High School assists students in elementary schools. In fact, she said the nonprofit is planning on starting a simi-lar program at Wheatmore High.

“We will continue to offer the same level of services in the Archdale-Trinity area, but we just hope to make new friends in the Asheboro area and throughout the county,” Taylor said.

CIS of Randolph County can now be reached at 625-0008. The nonprofit also says it will keep its local office at John Lawrence El-ementary.

OBITUARIES, CAROLINAS

D ear Abby: My mother is a spry, 75-year-old woman

who has expressed an unusual request. She has told us “kids” that when she is called by the angels, she wants to be dressed in an aqua nightgown or PJs, and to be lying on her side. She says she will be sleeping for a long time, and she wants to make sure she’s comfortable. She also says if we don’t carry out her wishes, she will come back and haunt us.

I have attended many wakes, but I can honestly say I have never seen anything like this done before. What do you think? – Wants To Do Right By Mama in Mas-sachusetts

Dear Wants To Do Right: I think it’s won-derful that your mother is discussing this now – and I hope your letter will encourage more readers to begin this kind of important conversa-tion with their loved ones.

Because the alternative is to be “haunted” to eter-nity, you should honor your mother’s wishes. But because laws vary from state to state, read-ers who want to fi nd out what the law is in their state should visit www.funerals.org and view the Personal Preference page.

Dear Abby: My son “Pete,” who is in his late 20s, has had a battle with drugs since he was 17. Af-

ter numer-ous trips to rehab, thousands of dol-lars and too many heart-breaks to number, his dad and I decided to tell him he is no longer

welcome in our home.We did not reach this

decision lightly. We have other children and grand-children to consider.

We have lived in this small town all our lives. I don’t know how to an-swer people’s questions about why we have no contact with Pete or why we haven’t tried other so-lutions. I have cried my-self to sleep many nights over careless comments that have been made.

We love our son dearly, but we can no longer be his crutch to lean on. Please tell me how to answer these people without being rude and hurtful. – Desperate Mom in Louisiana

Dear Mom: The thoughts you conveyed in your letter are excel-lent replies to thoughtless people who question your decision. You DID try “other solutions.” They didn’t work, and there are other relatives who must be considered.

Sometimes addicts must hit bottom before they fi nally accept that – in the fi nal analysis

– they have to help themselves recover. If you are questioned more than once, tell the person plainly that this was a painful decision for you and your husband and to please not raise the subject again.

Dear Abby: I have purchased season tickets for the local professional hockey team from a for-mer co-worker for the last fi ve years. We worked to-gether for eight years and had a good relationship until this recent issue.

This year, when I called to ask about the tickets, she informed me that she had already sold them on Craigslist. I was upset because she didn’t offer them to me fi rst. I would have paid her the asking price without complaint.

I understand that they were her tickets and she could do what she wanted with them, but I feel she was inconsiderate and rude not to at least offer them to me before selling them to a total stranger. We are no longer speak-ing. Who’s in the right? – Mad in Minnesota

Dear Mad: She should have warned you – but if it ended the friendship, it couldn’t have been much of one to begin with.

DEAR ABBY is written by Abi-gail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.Dear-Abby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

OBITUARIES (MORE ON 2B)---


Kayla Calhoun was in awe after meeting Hollywood hunk Channing Tatum.

She was one of hun-dreds of fans who stood outside the York Theater on Saturday afternoon vying for a chance to get up close with the stars of “Dear John.”

“Oh, it’s great!” she said, still giddy from her encounter with Tatum. “He signed my book!”

Tatum is one of the stars of “Dear John,” which is

about a Special Forces sol-dier who falls for a college student in South Caroli-na. Their love story is told

through letters the two send one another while John (played by Tatum) is deployed overseas.

RALEIGH (AP) – For the past decade, North Carolina Democrats in charge of state govern-ment have been success-ful persuading the pub-lic they’re unlike fellow party colleagues who’ve ended up behind bars.

Democrats have re-mained in power in the Legislature and at the Ex-ecutive Mansion despite the news of illegal activi-ties that sent then-House Speaker Jim Black, Ag-riculture Commissioner Meg Scott Phipps and Rep. Thomas Wright to prison.

Last week’s indictment of corruption charges against Ruffin Poole, a close aide to former Gov. Mike Eas-ley, however, comes when Democrats lack the advan-tages of recent years.

“This could be a sce-nario where you have the megastorm, where you have just a terrible econo-my, you have unrest and anger with the electorate and then you have (cor-ruption) on top of it,” said Brad Crone, a Democratic consultant in Raleigh. “It’s been a constant drumbeat ... there will be a price to pay for it.”

BIG LOSERS: Fitness Center program helps trim the fat. TOMORROW

H istory was not one of my favorite subjects in high school, but

as the years roll by I fi nd myself much more in-trigued about past events.

While researching an upcoming article I found several interesting articles about past fi res.

It’s fascinating to compare how reporters

wrote 100 years ago as compared to now. These fi res had no huge property losses. Most could have happened in any town during the late 1800s and early 1900s.

What they show is the continued dedi-cation of the fi re service to serve and protect. The fi re service has changed over the years, but our dedica-tion has not.

Here are a few stories. Hope you enjoy.

Shanty Fire, January 1889

A fi re was discovered in a small shanty, close in the rear of Stuart’s hotel, at 2 o’clock this morning. The alarm was quickly re-sponded to, but the shanty was burned. Hard work by the department saved the fi re from spreading. A drummer, named Smith, fell from the second story of the hotel during the fi re, and is laid up for repairs. His ankle is sprained. The destruction of the house is complete. The loss about $100.

– The Atlanta Constitu-tion, Atlanta, Ga.

Livery Stable Fire, De-cember 1912

What proved to be a disastrous fi re occurred Thanksgiving morning about 2 o’clock, at Charm-ian. A livery-stable with many vehicles was entirely destroyed, entailing a probable loss of $2,500. Early Thursday morning, Clarence Martin, who operates a livery on the mountain, noticed fl ames issuing from his stable. He hurried to the scene and by lusty shouts aroused the neighbors of the immedi-ate vicinity who went to his assistance in fi ght-ing the fl ames. A bucket brigade was formed and a systematic fi ght against the confl agration was begun. The fi re, which started in the carriage shed, ate its way to the stable which ad-joined it. By good fortune, the horses, six in number, were all safely got from the burning buildings. An attempt was made to save the vehicles but only three could be pulled from the blazing place. Twenty car-riages, harness feed, hay, etc., were totally destroyed. The loss will be about $2,500, partly covered by insurance.

Thyroid hormone speeds body metabolism

D ear Dr. Donohue: I am 51 and have an overactive thyroid

gland. The doctor had me get an ultrasound of my gland, and it shows a lot of nodules in it. What does that mean? Is it serious? What shall I do? – W.W.

The thyroid gland is a large gland located in the front and lower half of the neck. Its hormone – thyroid hormone – reg-ulates body metabolism. It keeps cell chemistry perking along at the optimum pace. Without enough of the hormone, things slow down; with too much, they speed up. The heart beats fast even when resting. The hands and fi ngers develop a fi ne trembling. The skin is warm and moist. Weight is lost even in the face of a good appetite. Menstru-al periods are thrown out of kilter. Diarrhea can be a problem.

Usually, an overactive gland grows larger (a goiter), and it can be seen as a bulge in the lower neck. That condition is called Grave’s disease. Your gland is overactive and has nodules. Nodules are lumps with fl uid or gluey material inside them. They can be felt, or they can be seen on a scan of the gland. A nodular thyroid gland that makes too much thy-roid hormone is called a toxic multinodular goiter. “Toxic” indicates the overproduction of thyroid hormone, and “goiter” means the gland is larger than normal. I can’t tell you why it hap-pens. No one can.

Antithyroid medicines stop the production of thyroid hormone, one treatment for your condi-tion. Radioactive iodine is another treatment.

The iodine makes a beeline for the thyroid gland and puts it out of com-mission. It’s much like having surgical removal of the gland without surgery. And fi nally,

surgery is another way to treat this problem. Your doctor will help you decide which method is the best for you.

Dear Dr. Donohue: My gpandson, who is 11 years old, is having problems with his feet. The doctor says he has Sever’s disease. He can hardly walk on his heels. Could you give me some information on this? – N.

Sever’s disease is some-thing that happens to active children who run a lot. Those between the ages of 8 and 12 are the target group. The Achil-les tendon (heel cord) attaches to the back of the heel, and its constant pulling on the bone causes minute breaks and bone infl ammation. That’s the source of your grandson’s pain. Both heels can be affected.

Rest is the most important element of treatment. “Rest” doesn’t mean complete inactiv-ity. The child can do things that don’t cause him any pain. Icing the painful area three times a day lessens pain. Apply ice for about 15 minutes at a time. Heel lifts or heel pads help cushion the heel and rest the tendon.

Pain medicine is ap-propriate. Tylenol works

and is safe for someone your grandson’s age.

The condition usually improves in four to eight weeks.

Dear Dr. Donohue: I was diagnosed with oral lichen planus after a biopsy. My prescription medicine was fl uoci-nonide ointment. I have used it, but haven’t had any improvement. I was told it is an immune system problem. Please explain the cause and possible treatments. – L.R.

Lacy white patches or open sores are the call-ing cards of oral lichen planus. They appear in the mouth, on the gums or on the tongue. The immune system has beenimplicated as a cause. Sometimes the skin is involved along with the mouth.

Your medicine, fl uoci-nonide (Lidex), is a strongcortisone drug and is one of the standard medi-cines used for oral lichen planus. If applying a corti-sone drug on the involved areas doesn’t work, inject-ing them with a cortisone drug might. One such drug is triamcinolone. Ointments of different drugs, like tacrolimus or cycylosporine, also have met with some success. Methotrexate, azathio-prine or mycophenolate are other possibilities.

Oral lichen planus is often a chronic condition and has to be dealt with on a lengthy basis. DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible. Readers may write him or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475

Fighting for othersBlood drive honors

memory of fi refi ghter Chad Greene

BY JIMMY TOMLINENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

K im Greene still laughs at the running joke she and her late husband, Chad, had always enjoyed.

“The vampires called again,” she would tell Chad, a city of High Point fi refi ghter. “They want to suck your blood.”

This was Kim’s way of letting Chad know the American Red Cross had called with a reminder of an upcoming blood drive. Chad would laugh, then promptly get on the phone and schedule an appointment to donate blood, something he’d been doing for years.

“Chad had always given blood, and every time the Red Cross called, he was excited to give,” Kim recalls. “He would always go give, no matter when and no matter where.”

So when a Red Cross offi cial suggested having a blood drive in Chad’s memory, Kim loved the idea.

“I thought it would be great, because he really believed in giving blood,” she explains. “It was his other way of helping people.”

The blood drive will be held Friday, from 2:30 to 7 p.m., at Union Cross Volunteer Fire Station, where Chad had been a volunteer fi refi ghter for nearly 20 years before his untimely death in

November, at age 34. Kim says it’s fi tting for the drive to be held at the fi re station, where he had discovered his passion for being a fi refi ghter when he was just a teenager.

“He pretty much ate, slept and breathed (fi re-fi ghting),” she says. “I think he woke up think-ing about it and went to bed thinking about it. It was defi nitely his passion. It was all he had wanted to do since he was 15, and he loved it.”

In addition to his years of service with the Union Cross department, Chad had served as a city of High Point fi refi ghter since 1995.

Chad died on Nov. 4 – 10 days shy of the couple’s 10th wedding anniversary – after experiencing an aortic dissection, which is a rupture in the wall of the aorta. Kim remem-bers that her husband spent a good part of that day doing the things he loved most – working

INTERESTED?----A blood drive in memory of fi refi ghter Chad Greene will be held Friday, from 2:30 to 7 p.m., at Union Cross Volunteer Fire Station, 4401 High Point Road, Kerners-ville.

Appointments are recommended and can be made by calling Bryan Knight at (336) 399-8657.

A fast-act-ing compound that appears to improve cognitive function impair-ments in mice similar to those found in patients with progres-sive Alzheimer’s disease has been identifi ed by scientists at Wake Forest Univer-sity School of Medicine and the Vanderbilt Uni-versity Medical Center Program in Drug Discovery. Researchers hope to replicate the result in humans one day.

The compound – benzylquino-lone carboxylic acid (BQCA) – has also been shown in previous rodent studies to lessen the occur-rence and severity of the behavioral disturbances of-ten symptomatic of Alzheimer’s, such as hallucina-tions, delusions, paranoia and outbursts.

“That makes this compound somewhat novel,” said Dr. Michelle M. Nicolle, an as-sociate professor of gerontology at Wake Forest and co-researcher on the study, pub-lished recently in the Journal of Neuroscience. “We wanted to see if this very specifi c acting compound was able to change the way the brain works and whether or not it improved memory in our ‘Alzheimer’s mice,’ which are experiencing progressive cogni-tive decline much like a person with Alzheimer’s does.”

Other attempts to identify such a specifi c treatment for Alzheimer’s have failed, according to Nicolle.

The researchers’ fi ndings suggest that the com-pound could alter the progression of disease in mice and, ultimately, hold importance for humans, as well.

We just want the baby to be healthyW e don’t care if it is a boy

or a girl – we just want the baby to be healthy.

This common response echoes universal concerns of many parents.

According to a recent March of Dimes study, the No. 1 worry of expectant parents is that the baby will be born with a birth defect. Though the vast major-ity of babies are born perfectly healthy, an estimated 3 out of 100 babies are born with a birth defect. In the United States, birth defects are the number one cause of death in babies before their fi rst birthday.

There are more than 4,000 different kinds of birth defects ranging from serious to minor, and 60 percent to 70 percent have unknown causes. What experts do know is that many are caused by environmental or genetic factors (or a combination of the two/both). Some common birth defects are heart defects,

cleft lip/palate, Down syndrome, and spina bifi da. Tests such as blood work and ultrasounds can let parents know if their baby is likely to have a birth defect, allowing them to prepare and access sup-port systems. The tests may suggest further diagnostic testing such as an ultrasound or

amniocentesis. Some birth defects can be

treated before birth with medica-tion or even surgery. Prenatal diagnosis also allows the parents and medical staff to plan for the delivery and to provide the baby with any needed care as soon as possible.

Fortunately, the risk of many birth defects can be reduced

with a few best practices. Have a checkup before you are pregnant to make sure you are as healthy as possible – especially getting chronic conditions such as diabe-tes and high blood pressure un-der control. Some serious birth defects can be caused by not hav-ing all your vaccinations current and by having untreated sexu-ally transmitted diseases. Take a multivitamin every day that has at least 400 mcg of folic acid. Maintain a healthy weight, exer-cise regularly and eat nutritious foods. Avoid eating under-cooked meat or fi sh with high levels of mercury. While pregnant, avoid rodents and get someone else to change the cat’s litter box. Don’t smoke, and avoid second-hand smoke as much as possible. Do not use alcohol or drugs, and ask your provider about any medica-tion you are taking.

Early and regular prenatal care is also critical for the best health possible for you and your

baby. All women in Guilford County have access to prenatal care through private providers, the health department, or the Adopt-A-Mom program.

Even if you are not pregnant now, there are important steps you can take that will improve your health and minimize the risks for your baby later. Since half of all pregnancies are un-planned, being healthy before you get pregnant is very impor-tant for women. It may seem like a long list of do’s and don’ts but should put your mind at ease that you are doing everything you can to have a healthy baby.

at the fi re department and spending time with his family.

and Jake played with Daddy on the fi re trucks for a few minutes while I went on to work (she’s a preschool teacher at Union Cross Moravian Church). They came and saw me at the school and gave me kisses, and Chad stayed around for about 30 minutes, joking with me and some of the other teachers. He left around 10 to go get something to eat before going on home.”

That was the last time Kim saw her husband alive. When she got home a couple of hours later, shortly after noon, she found his body.

Having a blood drive in Chad’s memory seems entirely appropriate, Kim says, because he loved doing things to help others.

“He loved his job so much,” she says. “He just loved helping people and knowing he made a difference.”

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Money may be a concern but, if you spend too much time worry-ing, you’ll end up spinning your wheels. Focus on the skills and services you have to offer and you will bypass some of the fi nancial troubles you’ve been experiencing. ★★★★

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Be aggressive and make contact with people you think might be interested in your plans. You will be started on the road to victory. Travel, communication and a slight change of attitude will all work to your benefi t. ★★★

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Keeping a secret may not be easy but it is essential if you want things to work in your favor. Control your spend-ing so you aren’t left short for something im-portant. Travel will promote love and romance. ★★★

CANCER (June 21-July 22): A creative idea can turn into a moneymaking endeavor. Making alterations to your home will pay off fi nancially and do wonders for your emotional outlook. A partnership can open up opportunities that have eluded you in the past. ★★★

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Tread carefully when it comes to personal issues. If you neglect some-one counting on you for companionship, you will send the wrong signal. A change of scenery, com-pany or geographical location may all work in your favor. ★★★★

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): If you can raise your spirits, you will do a much better job when it comes to your professional goals. Don’t let some-one become your burden. Offer suggestions but don’t take over, pay or do the job yourself. ★★

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You will raise issues that others will disagree with. You may want to rethink your strategy in order to keep the peace and get things moving. Not everyone will agree with you today. ★★★★★

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Stop listening to what everyone else is telling you and start listen-ing to your heart. You have to believe in yourself and your abilities. A partnership will play an im-portant role in your life. ★★★

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Long-term results should be your focus. You don’t have to agree with everyone or even like what others are doing as long as you continue down a path that will satisfy your needs and your goals. Don’t be guided by your emotions. ★★★

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Once you evaluate what everyone else is doing, consider your own track record. Don’t hesitate to take the lead and to push your opinions and methods. Ag-gressive action will make everyone around you realize how serious you are about what you are trying to accomplish. ★★★★★

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t lose sight of what’s going on around you. Ask questions but don’t let on that you may not be happy with what’s happening. Once you know where every-one stands, you can follow your own path, know-ing what to expect from others. ★★★★★

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You have to work especially hard when it comes to pleasing others. Your generosity will spare your becom-ing involved in a sticky situation. Consider other means of making money. Don’t let your emotions tamper with your decisions. ★★

ONE STAR: It’s best to avoid confl icts; work behind the scenes or read a good book. Two stars: You can accomplish but don’t rely on others for help. Three stars: If you focus, you will reach your goals. Four stars: You can pretty much do as you please, a good time to start new projects. Five stars: Nothing can stop you now. Go for the gold.

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

As you’d imagine, Cy the Cynic is skeptical of the government – espe-cially its myriad of en-titlement programs.

“The only government handout I want is the gov-ernment’s hand out of my pocket,” Cy growls.

Cy has no problem ac-cepting handouts from his opponents. Against four spades Cy led the queen of diamonds: six, nine, three. He shifted to the jack of hearts: queen, king, ace.

Declarer drew trumps and took the A-K of clubs. When the queen didn’t fall, he exited with a dia-mond. East won and led a heart, and Cy won and cashed his queen of clubs. Down one.

THREE TRICKSThe defenders were en-

titled to only three tricks. South should judge that if Cy had the king of hearts, he would have led anoth-er diamond at the second trick, and East could have shifted to a heart.

South must play a low heart from dummy at Trick Two and take the ace. He draws trumps, cashes the top clubs and exits with a diamond. After East takes the king of hearts, he must

concede a fatal ruff-sluff.

DAILY QUESTIONYou hold: S A K J 4 H Q

7 D K 6 C J 6 5 4 2. With neither side vulnerable, the dealer, at your right, opens one diamond. What do you say?

ANSWER: Although you have opening values, you must be careful. If you double, your partner may compete too high in hearts, expecting bet-ter support from you. To pass, hoping to act later, is reasonable. If you feel compelled to act immedi-ately, overcall one spade, pretending you have a fi ve-card suit.

WHO’S NEWS---

Kelly Kulick became the fi rst woman to win a PBA Tour title on Sunday, beating Chris Barnes in the fi nal of the 45th Tournament of Champions.

Kulick out-scored Barnes 265-195 to take home the $40,000 fi rst prize and a two-year PBA exemption. The 32-year-old earned a berth in the Tournament of Champions by winning the PBA Women’s World Championship last September.

“It’s been a dream of mine to win a PBA Tour event but I couldn’t have imagined it would have come in the Tournament of Champions,” said Kulick, who opened the fi nal match with four straight strikes. “It may have looked easy, but my legs were like jelly – it got to a point where I couldn’t feel them.

I almost forgot. The Pro Bowl is on tap for Sunday at 7:20 p.m. ESPN provides the live coverage.

Scheduling the Pro Bowl – in Miami – the week before the Super Bowl is like showing “American Idol Rewind” the week before a replay of Elvis’ classic “Aloha From Hawaii” concert.

Thank ya, NFL. Thank ya very much – for nothing.

HIT AND RUN---

BY STEVE HANFENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

HIGH POINT – A big hole in the roster will need to be fi lled as the High Point University men embark on the second half of the Big South Conference season.

Junior forward Jour-dan Morris has been sus-pended indefi nitely from the team, Panthers coach Scott Cherry said Sat-urday night, for a viola-tion of team rules. High Point’s 94-91 loss to VMI at the Millis Center was the second game Morris missed in the wake of his suspension last Sunday. The Panthers beat Liberty 81-53 on Thursday.

“He’s just attending classes,” Cherry said when asked of Morris’ status. “He’s on course to graduate this summer. Even though he’s a junior, he transferred, so he has that transfer year where he caught up on classes. It’s just kind of a wait-and-see mode, but right now he’s not a part of the team at all.”

The 6-foot-7, 230-pound junior forward from Bowie, Md., appeared in 15 games this season for HPU. He averaged 7.2 points and nearly four rebounds per game while shooting 62.3 percent from the fi eld in almost 17 min-utes of action.

Last season, Morris played in 24 games and got 13 starts, fi nishing

with 6.9 points and 3.1 re-bounds per game in 18.2 minutes of action. He re-corded a career-high 21 points against UNC Ashe-ville last February.

Morris sat out the 2007-08 season per NCAA rules after transferring from St. Bonaventure. As a true freshman there, Morris appeared in 23 games with averages of 2.9 points and 1.3 rebounds per contest.

Cherry said redshirt freshman Corey Law, an active 6-6, 210-pounder, has stepped up in Mor-ris’ absence. Law tallied 13 points and a season-high 15 rebounds against VMI. Junior forward E.J. Bridges also will be count-ed upon to increase his av-erages of 3.9 points and 2.6 rebounds per game, and big guards David Camp-bell and David Singleton now will fi nd themselves guarding forwards in some four-guard lineups.

“We’ve had to get a little bit creative,” Cherry said. “But everybody’s got to step up now. We’re in the second half of the league and everybody’s got to produce.”

High Point (10-9, 5-4) visits UNC Asheville on Thursday and Gardner-Webb on Saturday before stepping out of league play at Longwood on Feb. 2. The Panthers’ next home game comes Thursday, Feb. 11, against Coastal Carolina.


HPU men minus Morris

BY STEVE HANFENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

HIGH POINT – Two days removed from scraping past a one-win team, it’s safe to say the High Point University women won’t be looking past UNC Ashe-ville tonight at 7.

The Bulldogs, at 6-13 overall and 1-5 in the Big South Conference, oc-cupy the cellar along with Presbyterian, Charleston Southern and Winthrop. But the league-leading Panthers found them-selves holding for a 69-64 win at PC on Saturday.

That close score – plus a long chat with coach Tooey Loy prior to Sun-day’s practice – ensures the Panthers won’t be looking ahead to Satur-day’s home game against Liberty, which should be for fi rst place if both teams hold serve.

“We haven’t even mentioned the Liberty game,” Loy said. “I know it’s ahead, I assume they know it’s ahead, but I think Presbyterian was a good lesson that we need to take care of busi-

ness before we even think about Saturday.”

High Point (12-7, 5-1) owns a 22-11 series lead against the Bulldogs, but Loy remembers plenty of close calls in the Justice Center. The teams played three times last season – including in the confer-ence tournament – with High Point winning twice.

This year, the Panthers will be tasked to stop ju-nior forward Lindsey Montgomery, the only Big South player to average a double-double at 12.2 points and 10. 2 rebounds per game. Junior point guard Kendell Shepard also is among the league leaders in assists at 3.9 per game.

Loy said his players, who haven’t been as sharp mentally as much as he’d like, absorbed the scouting report Sunday and went through a good, sharp practice.

The great thing about this group is they do re-ally listen, they want to be great, and we’ll see what that does for us,” Loy said.


Women wary of UNCA


This is perfect for the Indianapolis Colts: They have Peyton Manning and they’re back in the Super Bowl.

The four-time MVP threw three touch-down passes and the Indianapolis Colts rallied from an 11-point, fi rst-half defi cit to beat the New York Jets 30-17 Sunday in the AFC championship game.

The Colts (15-2) are now headed back to the NFL title game for the second time in four years and their fourth Super Bowl in all. Better yet, they’re heading back to their lucky city – Miami, where they’ve won all four of those games.

A month ago, when the New Yorkers were last in town, coach Jim Caldwell pulled his starters in the third quarter and gave up a chance at a perfect season to focus on a Super Bowl run.

The Colts will face New Orleans in two weeks after unheralded Garrett Hartley lifted the Saints into their fi rst Super Bowl with a 40-yard fi eld goal in over-

time for a 31-28 victory over the Vikings.After a battered Brett Favre threw

away the game with an interception deep in Saints territory at the end of regula-tion, Drew Brees guided New Orleans to the Minnesota 22. Hartley, suspended at the start of the season for using a banned stimulant, split the uprights.

Forget the Aints and the paper bag masks. The Saints will meet the Colts in the fi rst Super Bowl to pit the top seeds in each conference since the 1993 season.

The Colts opened as a four-point favor-ite to beat New Orleans in the line pro-vided by oddsmaker Sean Van Patten of Las Vegas Sports Consultants, which provides betting lines for most of the sports books in Nevada.

BY GREER SMITHENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

WINSTON-SALEM – On the eighth day, the Demon Deacons rested.

Following a string of three games in seven days that ended with Saturday’s 69-57 victory over Vir-ginia, coach Dino Gaudio gave his Wake Forest squad a day off from practice Sunday. The Demon Dea-cons don’t play again until visiting Georgia Tech on Thursday, their only game in an 11-day stretch that ends with Miami coming to the Joel Coliseum on Feb. 2.

“It feels like we need a breather,” Deacon guard Ishmael Smith said. “We’ll get some rest and get ready for another big week.”

It won’t be as big as the past week, in which the Deacons lost at Duke 90-70 on Jan. 17, then won at North Carolina 82-69 before hand-ing the Cavaliers their fi rst loss in ACC play.

“We’re playing well,” Gaudio said. “It was a good week for us, but it wound have been even better if it had been Cameron. We’ve had a couple of very physical games Sunday and Wednesday. For the kids to play like they did, I think they deserve a lot of credit.”

Wake dominated Virginia from the start, going up 36-15 at the half, even though the Cavaliers had not played since downing UNC Wilm-ington on Tuesday and had not played a conference team in seven days.

Building on a 20-point, seven-rebound, six-assist effort, Smith was the catalyst as the Deacons brought an end to Virginia’s un-expected unblemished mark in the league. Executing a high-low of-

fense, the senior guard drove into the lane and either made shots or whipped the ball to primarily Chas McFarland, who had one of his best nights of the season.

Smith wound up shooting 7 of 10 from the fi eld and the free-throw line, scored 21 points, grabbed seven rebounds and dished six as-sists. McFarland wound up with 16 points.

It’s like I have a peacefulness now,” Smith said. “I’m doing what I love to do, just relax and not force it. Early in the year, I wanted to prove how good we’re going to be. Now, there’s a relaxation out there. If the play is there, I’ll take the shot and if it is not, set up the offense and kick it out to the shooters.”


Wake takes

a break

CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) – Duke guard Jon Scheyer’s not sure any-thing totally wipes out his team’s awful loss at Clemson last year.

The Blue Devils’ latest effort at Littlejohn Coliseum, though, cer-tainly helps.

Nolan Smith scored 22 points and No. 7 Duke held the 17th-ranked Tigers to their lowest point total at home in seven years in a 60-47 victory late Saturday night. It was a drastic reversal from 2009, when the Blue Devils suffered their most lopsided loss in almost 20 years here, 74-47.

“For us, we weren’t really trying to make up for anything,” Scheyer said. “It’s a new year. We were 3-2 in our conference and now we’re 4-2. That’s what we were thinking about.”

Still, it was a much happier bunch of Blue Devils (16-3, 4-2 ACC) who ran off the court here than af-ter last year’s embarrassment.

Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski called time in the fi nal moments, urging his players to soak in the cheers of Clemson fans.

This time, Krzyzewski was proud of his players’ resiliency, poise and effort confronting the same packed house of Clemson crazies.

“We knew Clemson was ready,

the community was ready,” Krzyzewski said. “To come in here and win, our guys should feel good about that.”

Duke also should feel good about Smith, who fueled a 14-2 second-half run as the Blue Devils took control. Smith had nine points in the surge as Duke moved in front 43-30 with 12:33 left. Clemson could

not get closer than six points the rest of the way.

Trevor Booker led the Tigers (15-5, 3-3) with 22 points.

“Outside of Cameron, I think this is the toughest place in the ACC to play,” Duke’s Smith said. “To get the monkey off our back here after being embarrassed, it defi nitely means a lot to us.”

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Solomon Alabi wasn’t a bit worried as he stepped to the free-throw line, his team trailing by a point with 22 seconds left.

Alabi, who may be the best 7-foot-1 free-throw shooter around, made both of them – even though the fi rst bounced high off the rim before dropping through the net. The sec-ond gave the Seminoles the lead over 19th-ranked Georgia Tech, which failed to score again.

“There’s no one we’d rather have up there,” coach Leonard Hamilton said after a 68-66 win, the Seminoles’ fi fth straight over the Yellow Jackets.

“He’s got ice water in his veins.”

Alabi, a redshirt sopho-more who has made 83 percent (68 of 82) of his free throws this season, said he was confi dent largely because of a dedi-cated practice routine.

“I’ve done this so many times in practice,” said Alabi, who often will shoot 100 free throws in a session and made 50 of 54 in one particular hot stretch. “I tune every-thing else out.”

Alabi fi nished with 14 points and was perfect in six trips to the foul line for Florida State, (15-4, 3-2 ACC), which otherwise was just 10 of 21 at the stripe.

Georgia Tech (14-5, 3-3

ACC) got its last lead on Iman Shumpert’s jump shot with 1:27 left.

After Alabi’s free throws, Brian Oliver missed a 3-point try and Gani Lawal and Shump-ert both missed opportu-nities to tie the game for Georgia Tech. Jordan De-Mercy added a free throw in the closing seconds for the fi nal margin.

“We were really impa-tient offensively,” said Georgia Tech coach Paul Hewitt, who has one of the youngest teams in the country with two fresh-men and two sophomores starting.

Chris Singleton’s ca-reer-high 23 points led Florida State. Deividas Dulkys added 11.

ECU 61, TULANE 46NEW ORLEANS – Dar-

rius Morrow had 17 points to lead East Carolina over Tulane, ending the Pi-rates’ fi ve-game skid.

Jamar Abrams added 11 points for ECU (7-13, 1-5 Conference USA), which also snapped a 10-game conference skid, dating to last season.

East Carolina scored the initial 12 points and held Tulane (6-12, 1-4) scoreless for the fi rst 5:56. The Pirates extended their lead to 25-7 on Jon-tae Sherrod’s 3-pointer with 6:41 remaining.

Tulane shot 21.4 percent from the fi eld (6-for-28) in the fi rst half, but got no closer than 39-33 with 14:50 left in the game.

RALEIGH (AP) – Cam Ward claimed fi rst place on one im-portant list and helped pull the Carolina Hurricanes out of last on another.

Ward broke the franchise vic-tory record, Jussi Jokinen had a goal and two assists and Caro-lina beat the Bruins 5-1 on Sun-day to escape the NHL cellar.

Ward, who entered tied with Arturs Irbe atop the Hartford-Carolina victory list, made 27 saves for his 131st victory with the Hurricanes and helped them snap a six-game regular-season losing streak against Boston.

“You can’t do it by yourself – every one of those wins, the team had a big part of it,” said

the 25-year-old Ward, 11-19-5 this season and 131-98-23 over-all. “There’s no point stopping now, and I hope to keep adding on to that list for many, many years.”

Ray Whitney and Brandon Sutter each had a goal and an assist, Eric Staal and Chad LaRose also scored and Joni

Pitkanen had two assists for the Hurricanes. They scored three goals in a 6:36 span, led 5-0 in the opening minute of the third period and have 39 points – one more than Edmonton.

“If we can get some wins here and give ourselves a chance to maybe get a little closer to some teams, we could have a

good stretch,” Sutter said.David Krejci scored for the

Bruins, who have their fi rstfi ve-game losing streak in morethan two years.

“When you press, you makesome bad decisions, and themore you press, the worse itgets,” Boston coach Claude Ju-lien said.

MELBOURNE, Austra-lia (AP) – John Isner was looking on the bright side after his three-set loss to Andy Murray in the fourth round of the Aus-tralian Open on Sunday.

The Greensboro na-tive’s eight-match win-ning streak to start 2010 – including his fi rst ATP tournament victory in Auckland – was over, but the hard-serving, 6-foot-9 American is pleased with the way he’s playing.

“This is a great start to the year,” Isner said after falling to the fi fth-seeded Scot 7-6 (4), 6-3, 6-2. “Obvi-ously, I would have liked to have kept on going in this tournament, in the big one. To make the fi -nal 16 here, I won eight matches in a row at this level, it’s a great accom-plishment.”

The 33rd-seeded Is-ner, who had friend and Carolina Panthers wide receiver Steve Smith in his players’ box, plans to return to the U.S. to play some indoor tournaments and improve his fi tness.

“I’m a lot fi tter now than I was last year, and I’m going to continue to work on that,” Isner said. “Just to see how kind of fi t Andy Murray is, is kind of something to strive for.”

Isner reiterated he would play Davis Cup if asked. U.S. stalwarts Rod-dick and James Blake have already said they won’t play this year, so his chances are good.

Isner said he went through some lean times after winning frequently in college in 2007.

“I kind of regressed in 2008, which is not unusu-al,” the 24-year-old said. “I kind of got ahead of my learning curve.

“Now I’m more profes-sional about things. I know that I can make a living, and make a really, really nice living playing ten-nis. So I’m going to work hard ... and know that this is my career for the next 10 years. I’m not going to waste any opportunity.”

Isner remains upbeat

MELBOURNE, Austra-lia (AP) – Four days after an angry outburst over the rules relating to replays and line calls, Andy Rod-dick got a crucial call in his favor in his fourth-round Australian Open win over Fernando Gonzalez.

Roddick held off the 2007 Australian Open fi nalist 6-3, 3-6, 4-6, 7-5, 6-2 on Sunday to advance to the quarter-fi nals at the season’s fi rst major for the sixth time in eight years.

The 27-year-old Ameri-can will meet No. 14 Marin Cilic, who ousted U.S. Open champ Juan Martin del Potro in fi ve sets.

Roddick bucked the trend on a day of upsets that resulted in fourth-round exits for two top women: No. 2 Dinara Safi na and No. 3 Svetlana Kuznetsova.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) – Rex Ryan was frustrated on the sideline, desper-ately trying to come up with some sort of plan to slow Peyton Manning.

He never found one.Ryan’s big-talking, top-

ranked defense came up short, and it cost the New York Jets a trip to the Su-per Bowl in a 30-17 loss to the Indianapolis Colts in the AFC championship game Sunday.

“We tried everything,” the Jets coach said, shak-ing his head. “We tried man, tried two-man, zone, you name it, but you’ve got to give him credit, man. He’s one heck of a quarterback and we defi nitely had some issues there.”

After bottling up Man-ning for much of the fi rst two quarters, the Jets couldn’t contain the four-time MVP quarterback in the second half.

“With Peyton Man-ning, if you can’t disrupt his rhythm, he’s going to kill you,” Ryan said. “And, we couldn’t dis-rupt him enough.”

It wasn’t the fi rst time the Jets’ defense couldn’t come through. It blew late leads in games against Miami, Jackson-ville and Atlanta and earned a reputation for not being able to come up with big stops.

Still, Ryan was confi -dent all week, saying his team would be the most loose AFC championship squad anyone would ever see. It turned out the de-fense was way too loose against Manning & Co.

Now, it’s on to thinking about next year for Ryan, a fi rst-year head coach who got this far with a rookie quarterback in Mark Sanchez. Despite the disappointment of falling a win shy of the Super Bowl, Ryan real-izes the future is bright.

“We’re close,” he said. “We thought we could win it all. We really did.”

Ryan boasted all sea-son that his defense was a force to be reckoned with and deserved its No. 1 ranking. But this time, Ryan – who boldly declared the Jets to be Super Bowl favorites be-fore the playoffs – could only eat his words.

Manning picked apart the Jets’ defense, which also had the top unit against the pass, throw-ing for 377 yards and three touchdowns. The Colts fi nished with 461 net yards against a de-fense that allowed an av-erage of just 252 during the regular season.

“We couldn’t get off the fi eld,” Ryan said. “They kept marching it down the fi eld on us.”

Despite their lofty ranking during the regu-lar season, Ryan and the Jets were irritated by

suggestions they weren’t a big-time defense.

Their performance Sunday proved why.

“You’ve got to get some stops and we never got enough of them,” Ryan said.

While many worried about how Sanchez would handle himself in this type of big game, he was the least of the Jets’ worries. He threw two fi rst-half touchdown passes to give the Jets a 17-13 lead and was 30 minutes from becoming the fi rst rookie quarter-back to play in the Super Bowl.

Then, the defense – Ry-an’s bread and butter – failed to get the Jets to Miami.

When cornerback Don-ald Strickland went out late in the fi rst quarter, the Jets were forced to adjust their defense by playing guys in differ-ent spots they weren’t accustomed to. Manning

fi gured that out immedi-ately and the Colts start-ed going with a three-re-ceiver set, and he started fi nding mismatches with Pierre Garcon and Aus-tin Collie.

“It’s really tough to match up with them, just with the effi ciency that they play with,” safety Jim Leonhard said. “You can have great man cover-age, but that ball is right where it needs to be.”

Even playmaking line-backer Bart Scott, hob-bled by a sprained ankle, wasn’t on the fi eld much – and that compromised the defense.

The clearest sign things were starting to go awry was late in the fi rst half, when Manning threw three consecutive passes to Austin Collie, includ-ing a 16-yard toss with 1:13 remaining to cut the Colts’ defi cit to 17-13.

“That really took some of the wind out of our sails,” Ryan said.

New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan (right) congratulates Indianapolis Colts head coach Jim Caldwell after the Colts’ 30-17 win in Sunday’s AFC Championship.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) – Jim Caldwell won’t pat himself on the back.

After becoming the fi rst coach in league history to open his career with 14 straight wins, Caldwell has his Colts headed back to Mi-ami for their second Super Bowl in four seasons. The fi fth rookie coach to reach the Super Bowl now has a chance to become the third to win it in his fi rst year after Indianapolis beat the New York Jets 30-17 on Sunday in the AFC championship game.

“I spend very little time think-ing about those kinds of things,” he said. “I’ve never been one to look for any special attention; I’ve never needed anybody to tell me I’ve done a good job. The great thing about this league? We’ve got a great barometer that tells you what kind of job that you’ve done, and that’s that won-lost record.”

Peyton Manning said Caldwell earned the team’s respect since he took over for Tony Dungy, and the team took on his reserved, yet in-tense, nature.

“Any time you have a new head coach, there’s a change, there’s a different guy speaking to you every day,” Manning said. “The team bought into his philosophy

and his principles, we followed them, and it’s led us in a good di-rection.”

Caldwell quieted the second-guessing that came after he pulled his starters in the third quarter of the second-to-last game, cost-ing the Colts a chance at a perfect season.

“I really try not to focus on any-thing of that nature,” he said. “We weren’t out to prove anything; there’s no sense of vindication or retribution. All we were con-cerned about is trying to do the

best job we can for our team, plain and simple. Not everybody’s going to agree with you all the time.”

Caldwell said he still talks to Dungy. He received a text mes-sage from his mentor in the days leading up to the game.

“His infl uence is profound on me,” Caldwell said. “Most of the things that we do are things that were done under his guidance. We’ve made a few subtle changes here and there, but basically, we’ve kind of build upon what he established.”

Caldwell headed to the Super BowlGARCON’S BIG DAY MEANT TO HONOR HAITIANS----Pierre Garcon celebrated the biggest day of his NFL career by honor-ing his Haitian relatives.

The Colts receiver, whose parents emigrated to the U.S. from the earthquake-ravaged nation, spent most of last week concerned about the fate of his family and friends still living in Haiti.

On Sunday, after the Colts’ 30-17 victory over the Jets in the AFC championship, he raised the national fl ag for the second straight week, a sign of both gratitude for those who have helped in the relief effort and in recognition of what more still needs to be done.

“This is what it’s all about,” Garcon said after recording career highs of 11 receptions for 153 yards. “Just trying to do it for the country.”

NEW YORK (AP) — It was the fat cats’ fault be-fore. But now it’s becom-ing Obama’s.

With the unemployment rate stubbornly high, peo-ple were already shifting blame for their economic woes to President Barack Obama one year into his presidency.

Last week, investors joined them.

For 10 months, the stock market climbed at breath-taking speed. But the Dow Jones industrial average suffered its worst week since dropping to a 12-year low in early March. It fell 552 points Wednes-day through Friday, in-cluding 216 on Friday.

One big reason inves-tors scrambled to sell: Fear over a wave of popu-lism that swept a Republi-can to an upset victory in the Massachusetts Senate race on Tuesday. When Obama responded on Thursday with a broad-

side against big banks, the market plunged. On Friday, investors feared mounting opposition in the Senate could derail Federal Reserve Chair-man Ben Bernanke’s reap-pointment. Disappointing corporate earnings and

concern that China will slow its economy added to the jitters.

The question now: If the bad news continues, will Obama, who is trying to win votes in the fall elec-tions with his populist at-tacks, end up losing them

instead? Put another way, can Obama win over Main Street by vilifying Wall Street if people fear opening their 401(k) state-ments again?

And that’s especially true for voters who have a stake in the stock mar-ket. A clear sign the mar-ket was in trouble came a week ago Friday. Chip maker Intel announced profi ts were a lot higher last quarter than analysts had expected.

Its stock fell anyway.This week is chock-a-

block with news that could help shares retrace their lost ground, or sink further.

The Federal Reserve meets on interest rates, Bernanke faces that re-appointment battle in the Senate, a cavalcade of earnings reports is due and the government gives its fi rst estimate of how the economy performed during the fi nal three months of 2009.

CAMARILLO, Calif. (AP) – The average price of regular gasoline in the United States fell 1.42 cents over a two-week period to $2.72.

That’s according to the national Lundberg Survey of fuel prices re-leased Sunday.

Analyst Trilby Lundberg says the average price for a gallon of mid-grade was $2.85. Premium was at $2.96.

Cheyenne, Wyo., had the lowest average price among cities sur-veyed at $2.45 a gallon for regular.

Honolulu was the highest at $3.32.In California, a gallon of regular

cost an average of $3.00.Fresno had the state’s least ex-

pensive gas at $2.92 a gallon. San Francisco remained the steepest at $3.04.

NEW YORK (AP) – Wal-Mart Stores Inc. will cut about 11,200 jobs at Sam’s Club warehouses as it turns over the task of in-store prod-uct demonstrations to an outside marketing company.

The move is an effort to improve sales at Sam’s Club, which has un-derperformed the company’s stores in the U.S. and abroad.

The cuts represent about 10 per-cent of the warehouse club opera-tor’s 110,000 staffers across its 600 stores. That includes 10,000 work-ers, mostly part-timers, who offer food samples and showcase prod-ucts to customers. The company

also eliminated 1,200 workers who recruit new members.

Employees were told the news at mandatory meetings on Sunday morning. “In the club channel, demo sampling events are a very important part of the experience,” said Sam’s Club CEO Brian Cornell in a phone interview with The Associated Press. “Shopper Events specializes in this area, and they can take our sampling program to the next level.”

Shopper Events, based in Rogers, Ark., currently works with Wal-Mart’s stores on in-store demonstra-tions.

Sam’s Club has performed weaker

than Wal-Mart Stores Inc.’s name-sake stores in the U.S. and abroad. Cornell has been working to improve results since taking the helm in early 2009.

Sam’s Club has tried to steal cus-tomers from grocery chains and rival warehouse stores like Costco Wholesale Corp. by offering more everyday goods. But during Wal-Mart Stores’ most recent quarter, revenue at the Sam’s Club division slipped nearly 1 percent to $11.55 bil-lion. Earlier this month, Wal-Mart Stores closed 10 underperforming Sam’s Club locations, resulting in the loss of about 1,500 jobs.

WASHINGTON (AP) – White House offi cials and Senate leaders predicted on Sunday that Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke will be con-fi rmed for a second term.

White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said a new four-year term for the cen-tral bank head is needed to ensure stability in the fi nancial system. Law-makers would send a bad message to fi nancial mar-kets by “playing politics in any way” with Bernanke’s nomination, Gibbs said.

White House senior ad-viser Valerie Jarrett said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., had assured President Barack Obama that Bernanke had strong support among Democrats.

Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky said he an-ticipated that Bernanke would be confi rmed and would receive bipartisan support.

The No. 2 Senate Demo-crat, Dick Durbin of Illi-nois, added, “I think that

we’re going to have thevotes to make sure he isreconfi rmed.”

Bernanke, appointedby Republican PresidentGeorge W. Bush, is widelycredited with helping toprevent the recession fromturning into a depression.But his support of WallStreet bailouts has angeredthe public as the countrystruggles with double-digitunemployment.

MARINA DEL REY, Calif. (AP) – A 16-year-old has set out to become the youngest person to sail around the world alone.

Abby Sunderland of Thousand Oaks sailed into the sunny Pacifi c Ocean on Saturday.

Her boat-builder father, Lau-rence, along with other family members and friends cheered at the Del Rey Yacht Club as they watched the 40-foot craft called Wild Eyes depart.

She plans to be at sea for fi ve or

six months. She will be alone but able to communicate via satellite telephone and a blog.

The current record holder is Mike Perham, 17, of Britain, who took the mark last year from Ab-by’s then-17-year-old brother Zac.

NEW YORK (AP) – Pre-liminary Nielsen ratings suggest Conan O’Brien won a hefty audience for his fi nal hour hosting “The Tonight Show.”

O’Brien scored a 7.0 rating for his farewell

LOS ANGELES (AP) – Think the recent wild weather that hammered California was bad? Ex-perts are imagining far worse.

As torrential rains pelted wildfi re-stripped hillsides and fl ooded highways, a team of sci-entists hunkered down at the California Institute of Technology to work on a “Frankenstorm” scenario – a mother lode wintry blast that could potential-ly sock the Golden State.

The hypothetical but plausible storm would be similar to the 1861-1862 extreme fl oods that tem-porarily moved the state capital from Sacramento to San Francisco and forced the then-governor to attend his inauguration by rowboat. The scenario “is much larger than any-thing in living memory,” said project manager Dale Cox with the U.S. Geologi-cal Survey.

The incident occurred Saturday on a United Airlines jetliner en route from Washington, D.C., to Las Vegas. The plane, which had more than 100 people aboard, was di-verted to Denver Interna-tional Airport.
