Details on Richardson’s run. 1D ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

RICHMOND, British Columbia – A near fall in the final turn may have cost High Point’s Heather Richardson an Olympic medal Thursday.

Richardson was the thirdfastest competitor out of 36 hopefuls through 600 meters in the 1,000-meter long-track speedskating event at the Richmond Olympic Oval.

But the split second it took the 20-year-old High Richardson Point Central graduate to place her hand on the ice and steady herself led to a final time of 1 minute, 17.37 seconds.

That was good for ninth place. Canada’s Christine Nesbitt won the race in 1:16.56, while the top American finisher was Jennifer Rodriguez (seventh, 1:17.08).

“I gave it everything I had and everything I had is left out on the ice, so that’s what happens sometimes,” said Richardson, who made a splash in her first Olympics by placing sixth in the 500 meters on Tuesday.

She’ll shoot for a third top10 finish in her final event, the 1,500, on Sunday at 6 p.m.

Live coverage on NBC will be unavailable, with replays expected during the 7 to 11 p.m. coverage block along with ice dancing, men’s giant slalom, men’s ski cross and bobsled.

Additional revenue from the sales tax increase would be earmarked to fund Randolph Community College’s capital needs.

Representative Howard Coble’s spokesman Ed McDonald describes Coble’s fainting at Rotary luncheon.

Coble hasn’t been sick and doesn’t have a history of fainting, McDonald said.

The congressman did eat lunch during the Rotary Club meeting and wasn’t dehydrated, McDonald said.

Rotary Club member David McCoy of High Point was near Coble when he fainted.

“He was just standing there talking with some of the Rotarians and guests. He was standing up, behind the head table. And he just went out,” McCoy said.

When Coble fell, he hit the wall behind the head table, making the sound of a thud, McCoy said.

Within moments,

Coble regained consciousness.

“He was joking and being jovial,” McCoy said.

An emergency medical services team arrived and transported Coble in an ambulance to High Point Regional, McCoy said.

McDonald said Coble hopes to return to his work schedule and meeting constituents as soon as possible. He has filed for re-election and plans to seek another term this year, McDonald said.

Coble has been in the Piedmont this week as part of the Presidents’ Day holiday recess of Congress. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

Shackleford said 85 percent of the community college’s budget comes from the state, which limits college officials to use the funds for operations only. Commissioners give Randolph Community College the other 15 percent, which the college can use for capital needs and maintenance, meaning the college has no more funding for much-needed expansion.

“We are doing our best to serve this community in every way possible,” Shackleford said. “It’s a great concern to me with our parking lots and our classrooms full at a time like this when the community needs us more than ever.”

If the referendum passes, Shackleford plans to use the funds to renovate the former Klaussner building that has been purchased by the college. The college will use the funds double the space of its machinery and continuing education programs.

County board to visit High Point

BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

NEW RULE

GUILFORD COUNTY – County commissioners made good on Chairman Skip Alston’s promise Thursday to hold a meeting in High Point with city officials.

The Board of Commissioners will visit High Point on March 11. Tentative plans include a visit of the public library. Alston promised a joint meeting with city council Wednesday during a joint session with Greensboro City Council aimed at starting merger talks for a consolidated county planning department.

Commissioners declined to approve a resolution Greensboro City Council approved Wednesday to evaluate and consider a city-county consolidation. By a wide majority, commissioners voted to reconsider the resolution within 60 days. The council passed the resolution on a 6-3 vote.

Several commissioners balked at approving the city’s resolution

----

Public comments: County commissioners decided Thursday to allow speakers from the floor to discuss agenda topics at the beginning and end of at least one meeting per month. Speakers have a total of 30 minutes during each session with each speaker allowed no more than 3 minutes.

Speakers with appointments can go to the head of the line. because High Point was not part of the talks. Although High Point was represented on a study task force and city leaders reviewed its report, the city’s merger participation was never certain, Republican Commissioner Steve Arnold of High Point said Wednesday.

“But there has been no effort to cut High Point out,” Arnold said.

The city council resolution also included merger reviews for human resources, purchasing, geographic

information services, parks and recreation, and law enforcement.

Consolidation could be part of a March 4 work session commissioners scheduled Thursday.

With little discussion and with only one speaker in the room, commissioners unanimously voted to allow people to discuss agenda items before and after meetings.

Interest groups had complained for years about the rule allowing public comments on agenda items only during public hearings.

Earlier this month, Democratic Commissioner Paul Gibson won support for a review of the rule.

Several people failed last month in their attempt to discuss financing for the proposed $19 million Greensboro Aquatic Center. Commissioners voted unanimously to approve nearly $7 million in hotel tax revenue for the project with no discussion. The approval was part of the consent agenda.

ing program. Darrell Frye, vice chairman of the Randolph County Board of Commissioners, said commissioners decided late last year to place a referendum on the ballot for the community college because the county has no more debt capacity, with the county previously funding the construction of two new high schools.

Frye said the additional revenue would give the college about $2 million a year, with college officials needing the revenue for seven or eight years for its capital needs.

“RCC is an invaluable asset to the county,” he said. “It’s a key to the educational process.”

Shackleford and Frye said the wording on the ballot is confusing, but it doesn’t actually mean that sales tax would be increased at the “rate of one-quarter percent (.25 percent)” as the ballot states.

Both said the onefourth of a cent sales tax increase would not be applied to food, prescription drugs and gasoline.

Duke lacrosse accuser charged with attempted murder MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

DURHAM – Durham police have charged Crystal Gail Mangum, 31, with attempting to kill her boyfriend early Thursday morning.

Mangum is the woman who wrongly accused three Duke lacrosse play-

ers of rape in 2006. A judge Thursday ordered that she remain in jail on a $1 million bond. Wearing a white jail jumpsuit, Mangum kept her head down during her court appearance today and said nothing as the charges from this morningB’s incident were read.

According to authori-

warrant read during her court appearance.

Police said Mangum also threatened to stab Walker.

Walker, as well as Mangum’s three children, ages 10, 9 and 3, were not injured.

Police charged Mangum with attempted first-degree murder; five counts of arson; simple assault;

identity theft for providing a false name to police after she was arrested; communicating threats; damage to property; resisting, delay and obstruction; and three counts of child endangerment.

In March 2006, Mangum accused three men of sexually assaulting her at a Duke lacrosse party.

State Attorney General Roy Cooper said in April 2007 that there was no evidence of an assault of any kind at the party and dismissed the case against the lacrosse players. A few months later, Durham District Attorney Mike Nifong resigned after the State Bar charged him with 20 ethics violations.

Thomasville man faces felony solicitation charge

NC panel fines liquor company RALEIGH (AP) – North Carolina’s top alcohol regulators fined a liquor company $6,000 on Thursday following allegations it violated a gift ban when a company employee treated Mecklenburg County ABC board employees and leaders to an extravagant dinner in November.

The state Alcoholic Beverage Control Commission approved unanimously the compromise with Diageo North America, which said it accepted the settlement without admitting wrongdoing.

The company treated the Mecklenburg County board chairman, the board’s chief executive officer, and nearly 30 employees, spouses and others to a dinner that ultimately cost $12,700 with the tip. According to the restaurant receipt, the group feasted on lobster, crab cakes and steak, drank Crown Royal and Dom Perignon, and had creme brulee for dessert.

The state ABC Commission originally accused the Mecklenburg board, Diageo and marketing director Andy Iredale of breaking a state law prohibiting gifts of anything of value.

The local board repaid the company more than $9,000, and Mecklenburg chairman Parks Helms and CEO Calvin McDougal have since resigned — proof that the “local board has been held accountable,” state commission Chairman Jon Williams said.

ties, Mangum, 31, and her boyfriend, Milton Walker, were fighting in their apartment at 2220 Lincoln St. She then set fire to Walker’s clothing inside a bathtub, located in a bathroom in the middle of the apartment, police said.

Coble: Primary is for discourse, not deception They call elections the “silly season,” and for anyone who has been involved in them, they can corroborate that fact. Silly is one thing – untruths and false information are another matter.

As you know, I am seeking another term as this district’s representative in Washington. As of this writing, I have one formallyfiled opponent in the Republican primary and at least two others who have told me that they plan to run. One of those is Cathy Brewer Hinson.

I must respond to the misstatement from her father, J.W. (Bill) Brewer, that appeared in Wednesday’s Enterprise.

Here are the facts. Cathy and her husband came to visit me. We had a very pleasant conversation.

Her father, who was not there, and has not been a part of any of our conversations, was correct that I called her “Dr. Cathy.” She asked me if she should consider running against Brad Miller or Mel Watt, and since she asked for my opinion, I told her that it would be a difficult task. Never did I say “she would be bad for the Republican Party,” as her father alleges.

As someone who has been toiling in the Republican vineyards for many years, my goal is to grow our party. If Cathy formally files to oppose me this May, then I say welcome to the battle. Democracy is a wonderful and sometimes messy form of government. There is plenty of room for discourse of ideas and opinions during political campaigns. There is no place for deception. Welcome to the silly season.

There’s a bigger issue than gays in the service It doesn’t bother me so much about gays in the service as it does about where their souls will go.

If the Bible doesn’t lie, then God makes it pretty plain about how he feels about this perverted lifestyle. Having to tell someone it was OK would be lying. God has the final say. It doesn’t matter if you are a believer or not, you are taking a dangerous chance on frying in Hades like an egg for eternity.

We are all God’s children. He loves us all no matter about our hang ups.

If the Bible tells you, God doesn’t like certain things, then I would suggest you take heed to his word. Eternity is a long time to suffer.

Feds fail N.C. with I-85 bridge funds

P

erhaps we should call it a case of “bait and switch.”

Last year, the Obama administration advertised the $1.5 billion Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) Grants program as an effort to fund a few bigticket, shovel-ready, infrastructure projects as part of the overall economic stimulus effort to put people back to work.

But when the grants announcement was made earlier this week, the funding had been split dozens of ways in much smaller amounts for an array of projects across the nation. Sometime during the past year, the administration’s approach to awarding this funding changed. Perhaps it was when the need to buy votes to get certain pieces of pet legislation passed became evident.

So, it looks like North Carolina, which followed last year’s rules and sought $300 million for replacing the Interstate 85 Yadkin River bridge, has gotten the shaft from Washington once again.

Replacing the 55-year-old bridge certainly qualified as an important regional and national transportation network project. Some 65,000 to 70,000 vehicles use the span each day. It was not designed to hold today’s traffic, and it is showing the wear and tear of its age.

Additionally, the administration’s idea to spread the wealth around likely will result in less job creation. The smaller projects funded probably will help just in maintaining existing jobs instead of stimulating the desired jobs creation that would have resulted from funding fewer, larger-scale projects.

It’s now up to the state to get this important project funded and completed. State officials had a backup funding plan and will be ready to proceed with the project this year, anyway. It’s a good thing they did.

in east High Point?

Ever wonder why the east High Point area is a bit tough on landlords and tenants who would prefer peaceable lives? High Point police would prefer to not chase down complaints for one. For years, if a landlord calls with a complaint that items have been stolen or vandalized, if a workman’s name or tenant is mentioned, you cannot file a police report. The file is classified as a civil matter, even if the defendant admits to stealing items, even large items from you.

The police are not interested in spending their time or tax dollars in chasing down your missing items or problems. They have

Politicians steal freedoms by enticing us to hate others

I

f eternal vigilance is the price of freedom, incessant distractions are the way that politicians take away our freedoms, in order to enhance their own power and longevity in office. Dire alarms and heady crusades are among the many distractions of our attention from the ever increasing ways that government finds to take away more of our money and more of our freedom.

Magicians long have known that distracting an audience is the key to creating the illusion of magic. It is also the key to political magic.

Alarms ranging from “overpopulation” to “global warming” and crusades ranging from “affordable housing” to “universal health care” have been among the distractions of political magicians. But few distractions have had such a long and impressive political track record as getting people to resent and, if necessary, hate other people.

The most politically effective totalitarian systems have gotten people to give up their own freedom in order to vent their resentment or hatred at other people – under communism, the capitalists; under the Nazis, the Jews.

Under extremist Islamic regimes today, hatred is directed at the infidels in general and the “great Satan,” the United States, in particular. There are some people have been induced to give up not only their freedom but even their lives, in order to strike a blow against those they have been taught to hate.

We have not yet reached these levels of hostility, but those who are taking away our freedoms, bit by bit, on the installment plan, have been incessantly supplying us with people to resent.

One of the most audacious attempts to take away our freedom to live our lives as we see fit has been the so-called “health care reform” bills that were being rushed through Congress before either the public or the members of Congress themselves had a chance to discover all that was in it.

For this, we were taught to resent doctors, insurance companies and even people with “Cadillac health insurance plans,”

who were to be singled out for special taxes. Meanwhile, our freedom to make our own medical decisions – on which life and death can depend – was to be quietly taken from us and transferred to our betters in Washington.

OPINION Only the recent Massachusetts election results have put Thomas that on hold.

Sowell Another dangerous power ■■■ toward which we are moving, bit by bit, on the installment plan, is the power of politicians to tell people what their incomes can and cannot be. Here the resentment is being directed against “the rich.”

The distracting phrases here include “obscene” wealth and “unconscionable” profits. But, if we stop and think about it – which politicians don’t expect us to – what is obscene about wealth? Wouldn’t we consider it great if every human being on earth had a billion dollars and lived in a place that could rival the Taj Mahal?

Poverty is obscene. It is poverty that needs to be reduced – and increasing a country’s productivity has done that far more widely than redistributing income by targeting “the rich.”

You can see the agenda behind the rhetoric when profits are called “unconscionable” but taxes never are, even when taxes take more than half of what someone has earned, or add much more to the prices we have to pay than profits do.

The phrase “public servants” is increasingly misleading. They are well on their way to becoming public masters – like aptly named White House “czars.” The more they can get us all to resent those they designate, the more they can distract us from their increasing control of our own lives – but only if we sell our freedom cheap. We can sell our birthright and not even get the mess of pottage.

Niger soldiers go on state TV to confirm coup

UNITED NATIONS (AP) – The United Nations launched a new appeal for nearly $1.5 billion Thursday to help the 3 million Haitians affected by last month’s devastating earthquake.

The appeal, covering needs in 2010, is more than double the U.N.’s initial request on Jan. 15 for $562 million to help quake victims for six months.

NIAMEY, Niger – Renegade soldiers in armored vehicles stormed Niger’s presidential palace with a hail of gunfire in broad daylight Thursday, kidnapping the country’s strongman president and then appearing on state television to declare they staged a successful coup.

The soldiers also said on state TV that the country’s constitution had been suspended and all its insitutions dissolved.

UN climate chief quits, leaves talks hanging AMSTERDAM – The sharp-tongued U.N. official who shepherded troubled climate talks for nearly four years announced his resignation Thursday, leaving an uncertain path to a new treaty on global warming.

Exhausted and frustrated by unrelenting bickering between rich and poor countries, Yvo de Boer said he will step down July 1 to work in business and academia. With no obvious successor in sight, fears were voiced that whoever follows will be far less forceful than the skilled former civil servant from the Netherlands.

She said U.N. security staff called in New York City authorities to help investigate the contents of the envelope.

Missionaries freed in Haiti return to US KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – American missionaries accused of child trafficking in the aftermath of Haiti’s earthquake returned home Thursday and urged the safe release of the two women left behind in a Port au Prince jail.

Four of the eight freed Americans landed Thursday at Kansas City International airport to cheers and hugs. They declined to speak to reporters, but their attorney, Caleb Stegall, read a statement in which they said they were thankful to be home.

“We hope and pray that our release will allow everyone to focus again on the dire conditions that remain in Haiti. People are still suffering and lack basic necessities,” the statement said, adding: “For those whose cases have not been resolved, we will continue to pray for their safe return.

HIGH POINT – Sandra Crouch isn’t actually a homeless, 85-year-old man who lives on $552 a month, but she got to experience what it was like to be just that on Thursday evening.

The Main Street Coalition of Churches presented a Homeless Simulation, facilitated by the United Way of Greater High Point, at First Presbyterian Church. The event was designed to show people what it’s like to live below the poverty level and other difficult circumstances, such as being unemployed or a single parent with multiple children, according to Paige Mone’, vice president of marketing and communications for the United Way. “Each person is assigned a role which could be anything from a single mother with two kids trying to figure out how to navigate the social security system to a homeless person looking for a job,” she said.

After the participants, made up of members from First Baptist Church, First United Methodist Church,

Ray Koontz (left) and Phil McNeill act as unemployed people at the United Way’s Homeless Simulation who are applying for jobs. The event was designed to show participants what it was like to live below the poverty while searching for a job and other resources.

First Presbyterian Church and St. Mary’s Episcopal Church, received their roles, they were given limited resources on which to live, including artificial bus passes and money.

By the middle of the game, participants were running from room to room, which contained banks, a utility office and a food bank, trying to balance their lives on the limited funds they had.

“This is very enlightening,” said Ray Koontz, who was assigned the role of an unemployed person. “It really shows what people go through every day.”

“This is very frustrating,” added Jim McNeill, about his role as an unemployed person as well. “I’m trying to find a job, but I can’t find work. Everywhere I turn, they send me to someone else for help.”

Crouch said she at-

tended the event because she wanted to know what every day life was like for people who struggled.

“I was interested to see what things are like in extreme poverty,” she said.

“We do several things to help the needy at my church (First Baptist Church).”

Paul Siceloff, chair of the Main Street Coalition of Churches, said the event allows the churches to determine what type of outreach

projects they will pursue in the future.

“Through this guided role play, you are taken into the depths of being in deep poverty and challenged by what you can do to take care of yourself and family,” he said. “All four of the churches will take what we’ve learned tonight and put it into action.” phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

ing rod building craft, the event is organized by High Point resident Tom Kirkman. More than 70 booths will offer rod building items, and 25,000 rod blanks will be on display and for sale at the event. Participants can make their way through the show, choosing different parts to

build their own fishing rod.

Kirkman said the event has something for everyone, including beginners and experts of the sport.

“This is for everybody,” he said. “In fact, we have several beginner basic introductory seminars in the morning for those that want to learn

how to build their own fishing rods. There will be some experts, but there will be an awful lot of novices there too.”

Apart from building the fishing rods, educational seminars will be held throughout both days, including a basic rod building seminar at 9 a.m. on Saturday morning and a seminar about deep water jigging rods at noon on Sunday.

Other seminars include information on teaching youth to build fishing rods or building saltwater rods.

Depending on the type of rod you build, Kirkman said rods could cost around $50

and that participants can build a better rod than they can buy in a store.

“You can spend about $50, or you can spend many, many hundreds,” he said.

“There will be custom rods on display that sell anywhere from $100 to $3,000.”

The event, which was held in Charlotte for three years before relocating to High Point four years ago, is expected to have a $440,805 economic impact on the city while booking about 500 hotel room nights. It also serves as the rod building industry’s annual trade show. phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

City workers get insurance rate hike

BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – The city’s renewed contract with its health insurer will carry a rate increase in insurance premiums.

The City Council’s Finance Committee this week heard about how CIGNA initially proposed a 12 percent rate increase for the April 2010 to March 2011 contract period based on October 2009 enrollment totals of 1,352 employees and 98 retirees.

The city negotiated a reduction in the bottom line increase to 7.18 percent, but employees

who visit the doctor will face greater expense in order to make up the difference.

The modifications include an increase in the deductible paid by employees and retirees from $300 to $600 for single coverage and from $600 to $1,200 for dependent coverage. In addition, the out-of-pocket limit for employees and retirees will increase from $2,000 to $2,300 for single coverage and from $4,000 to $4,600 for dependent coverage.

“I tell employees we’re not offering a Cadillac of a plan. We’re offering a good plan. You’re going to have to contribute some

out of pocket,” John McCrary, the city’s director of human resources, told the committee. “I think our plan is competitive.”

An increase of 7.18 percent instead of 12 percent will equate to savings of $489,421, but the city still will see an estimated cost increase for health insurance of $775,912, from $10,149,655 to $10,925,567. The increase comes in a year when the city faces an estimated $3 million budget deficit.

Council members asked McCrary whether other health insurers might offer more competitive rates. Also discussed was whether the city should so-

licit new bids from prospective insurers next year.

Officials said the city’s plan compares favorably to other local employers they compare it to, such as High Point Regional Health System and North State Communications.

“If you bid too often, you’ll lose bidders,” McCrary said.

“Our co-pays are generally on the high side. Deductibles have been on the low side.”

After the committee recommended renewing the contract with CIGNA, the full council took action to approve it. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Astronomer and engineer Bill Gordon, who designed the photogenic radio telescope in Puerto Rico that spotted the first planets beyond our solar system and lakes on one of Saturn’s moons, has died in New York state.

Feds launch probe into Lejeune health care WILMINGTON (AP) – The Defense Department’s investigation into allegations of poor mental health care at Camp Lejeune will be independent of a Navy probe that accused the whistleblower of poor performance, a North Carolina congressman said Thursday.

Rep. Walter Jones, a Republican whose district includes Camp Lejeune, said he was concerned that the Defense Department was just going to review the Navy’s investigations. “I’ve been assured that they would be calling Dr. (Kernan) Manion in the next day or two to set up a time to meet with him,� Jones said. “He is going to be the first one they talk to.�

Jones demanded a new investigation into problems with mental health care on the North Carolina base after documents uncovered by Salon.com showed how officials at Camp Lejeune changed Dr. Kernan Manion’s favorable evaluations to unsatisfactory.

Public questions about the quality of mental health care provided by a private contractor at the base were raised last year by the September firing of Manion, a brain trauma specialist who had complained to commanders about poor facilities, inadequate care programs and weak security.

Manion, 59, has 25 years of experience as a psychiatrist with a specialty in traumatic brain injury. Manion last year said he was fired for writing memos to his military superiors complaining of shoddy care for Marines returning from Iraq and Afghanistan with post-traumatic stress disorder.

Jones said his office has received numerous complaints from Marines and their families about mental health care at Camp Lejeune.

Within a year of opening, it was used to determine the planet Mercury’s period of rotation.

After radio pulsars — rotating neutron stars — were discovered in 1967, the observatory played a prominent role in studying their properties.

The astronomers Joseph Taylor and Russell Hulse discovered the first binary pulsar at Arecibo in 1974, leading to a 1993 Nobel Prize in physics.

IRS holds special hours on Saturday ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

Exonerated man’s 1st day of freedom is a whirlwind DURHAM (AP) – For his first full day of freedom in more than 16 years, Greg Taylor woke up and hit the gym for the same upper-body workout he did every Thursday in his cell. Then he shook off the one thing he believes publicly branded him as a former prisoner: his eyewear.

After breakfast and a shower, he went to an eyeglass store in Durham to replace the thick, tortoiseshell frames given to prisoners with a pair of oval-shaped, chocolate-colored wire frames that more suit his long, narrow face.

It wasn’t just that the glasses were unfashionable, he said. It’s what they said about him and his conviction in the beating death of a prostitute in Raleigh in 1991. Three judges decided Wednesday he was innocent of that crime and released him from his life sentence. “People can look at them and say, ’he just got out of prison,�’ Taylor said. “I want to get rid of these.�

Taylor spoke to reporters while holding the hand of his 26-year-old daughter, Kristen Puryear, and

pushing a stroller carrying his 23month-old grandson, Charles.

He counted off all the loved ones he lost while behind bars: a grandmother, a sister, three uncles, a cousin, a dog and two cats. But it was when he discussed the happy events he missed that he choked up. “Her 10th birthday party,� he said of his daughter. “Her high school graduation was a big one,� he said. “These are the things you can’t get back.�

Taylor also met with someone who was part of the chain of events leading to his exoneration: former state Chief Justice I. Beverly Lake Jr., who launched the study panel that led to creating the North Carolina Innocence Inquiry Commission.

Taylor’s case was the first exoneration to result from the work of the commission, which is the only state-run agency in the country dedicated to proving a convicted person’s innocence.

If the governor grants Taylor a pardon, he can apply for compensa-

tion from the state Industrial Commission for $50,000 a year up to a maximum of $750,000.

The rest of the day was a whirlwind catching up to a world that changed quickly in the time he was locked away in Nash Correctional Institute.

In the gym, he found a spacious room with a wall of mirrors, banks of exercise equipment and state-ofthe-art weights instead of an outdoor space with a view of a guard tower.

Before a technician examined his eyes at the store in Durham, Taylor had to sign his name on a computer screen. “I don’t understand,� he said before figuring it out.

Although he has read numerous books on computer programming, Taylor saw the Internet for the first time Wednesday night when his daughter gave him a brief tutorial on his laptop.

She updated his wardrobe with jeans, a black polo shirt and boxerbriefs, which he had never worn. He could only surmise that she didn’t know if he preferred boxers or briefs, so she split the difference.

Dear Joan: It appears that not only is the heat off at Gary’s house, the temperature at yours is cooling fast. Tell him that if he can’t help you with the rent, household chores, groceries and the litter box, it’s time to turn up the heat at his place.

And please don’t feel guilty about it. It’s called being assertive.

Dear Abby: I’m a freshman in high school who

has trouble making friends. My grades are good. I’m learning how to play a musical ADVICE instrument, and I think Dear I’m a nice Abby guy. ■■■My problem is so many of my schoolmates judge others by their possessions – cell phones, iPod, laptop, etc. It matters what brand of clothing you wear and how much money you have.

If you don’t have those things or your parents aren’t rich, you’re treated as an outcast. Character or talent doesn’t matter, apparently – only money.

This has started affecting my self-esteem. What do you advise? – Just A Nice Guy in Arizona Dear Nice Guy: You will be better off, and lead a happier life, if you stop looking for acceptance from shallow, immature kids who belong to tight, judgmental little cliques.

Join activities where you will meet others with values more like your own. Some places to start would be special interest clubs at school, scouting, a sport, your church youth group, or volunteering if you have some free time. There is nothing “wrong� with

you. Many people develop their social skills and blossom after high school.

Dear Abby: My wife has been criticizing my table manners ever since our wedding. When we’re having dinner, if we’re having meatloaf, broccoli and mashed potatoes, I eat all of my meatloaf and then all of my broccoli before starting on the mashed potatoes.

My wife claims it is proper etiquette to rotate one bite of each different food rather than consume all of any one of them before moving on to the next. I have never heard of this rule and neither has anyone else I have asked.

Am I violating a rule of etiquette, or is this something else my wife has “cooked up�? – Ruminating in Rio Rancho, N.M. Dear Ruminating: I have never heard of such a rule either, nor is it mentioned in “Emily Post’s Etiquette (16th Edition).� Your wife may have cooked it up, but that doesn’t mean you have to swallow it.

I was happy about it at first, but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been staying here at my place for two months now and hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t paid any rent.

Gary buys his own beer and has brought home a few grocery items from time to time, but nothing to speak of. He had the electricity turned off at his place so his expenses are minimal. He also brought along his cat, but never cleans out her litter box.

He does no housework and comes and goes as he pleases. I do not want him sharing my home without contributing anything.

Is there a way to tell him without wrecking our relationship? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Canadian Joan

RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; North Carolina wants to get some help from the federal government for farmers who have lost significant crops due to recent heavy rains and flooding.

Gov. Beverly Perdue said she sent a letter on Thursday to U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack asking him to declare a disaster in 13 counties. The designation would move farmers closer to access emergency loans. The counties are Camden, Carteret, Craven, Currituck, Durham, Granville, Greene, New Hanover, Onslow, Orange, Pasquotank, Pender and Washington.

GREENSBORO â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Greensboro Internal Revenue Service office at 320 Federal Place will be one of 200 Taxpayer Assistance Centers to open its doors on Saturday.

IRS staff will provide assistance 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. for taxpayers dealing with difficult economic times.

IRS employees in Greensboro will answer questions for taxpayers on the full range of tax law provisions such as the new allowance for $2,400 of tax-free unemployment compensation benefits.

Free tax preparation and electronic filing for individuals who earn $49,000 or less will be available. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are many tax credits and deductions that may help individuals struggling in tough economic times to save money on their taxes

this year,â&#x20AC;? said Mark Hanson, IRS spokesperson for North Carolina. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For example, this year many people will qualify for EITC for the first time because their incomes declined, their marital status changed or because of credit expansions to help people as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.

Under the act, taxpayers with three or more children get an extra boost with a larger credit this year,â&#x20AC;?

Hanson said.

The IRS had scheduled two previous Saturdays with special hours on Jan. 30 and Feb. 6 that were canceled due to inclement weather.

Most tax forms are available in the TAC, although downloadable copies of tax forms on http://www.IRS.gov can save taxpayers a trip if all they require are tax forms.

BLACK HISTORY MONTH

Black History Month is celebrated every February in the United States. This is a month set aside to honor, educate, and remember African American heritage. African American heroes are honored, and school children are often taught lessons about African American history. The origins of Black History Month began in 1926 when a man by the name of Carter G. Woodson formed Negro History Week. This week was set aside to focus studies on black history, because African American history had not been largely integrated into school textbooks and lessons at the time. The goal of this annual event was to eventually integrate both White and Black history, eliminating the need for the Negro History Week.

In 1976, The Association for the Study of Afro-American Life and History formed what we know today as Black History Month. The month of February was chosen, based on the birthdays of two key ďŹ gures in black history--Fredrick Douglas, an abolitionist and former slave, and Abraham Lincoln, the President of the United States who declared freedom to all slaves with the Emancipation Proclamation.

B-12 needed for blood cell production, nerve health

D

ear Dr. Donohue: I am an 81-year-old woman in good health. After a favorable checkup recently, the doctor told me I should have a vitamin B-12 shot every month for the rest of my life. I am not anemic. I have always been reluctant to take pills and shots of any kind. I am puzzled about this suggestion. – G.M.

BLONDIE

Vitamin B-12 is an essential ingredient in the production of red blood cells and in the maintenance of nerve health.

It’s a unique vitamin. It is found only in meat.

In addition, it requires intrinsic factor for its absorption. Intrinsic factor is made in the stomach.

It takes B-12 by the hand and ushers it into the blood through the intestinal wall. Without intrinsic factor, B-12 leaves the body. A deficiency of the vitamin gives rise to pernicious anemia and leads to nerve and the spinal cord damage. You have no signs of either, and all your lab tests are OK. At older ages, the production of intrinsic factor wanes, and that’s the reason pernicious anemia is more common then.

Since people with intrinsic factor deficiency cannot absorb B-12, doctors in North America treat the deficiency with shots. The shots bypass the need for intrinsic factor. Doctors in Europe give large oral doses of

the vitamin, and some of that oral dose is absorbed.

I, too, am puzzled HEALTH why your doctor Dr. Paul wants you Donohue to take B-12 ■■■ shots. At one time, they were given as a tonic for people complaining of weakness and lethargy.

That’s not done much these days. Why not ask the doctor for his reasons for wanting you to have shots? You’ve roused my curiosity. Let me know what he says.

Dear Dr. Donohue: I haven’t seen the question I am asking ever addressed in your column.

Is there anything that can be done for cramps that come with the menstrual cycle, especially for younger females? My 14year-old daughter spends at least one day a month throwing up and having severe stomach cramps.

– L.A. Crampy pain, backache, nausea, vomiting and headache torment many women at the onset of monthly periods, especially younger women who have just started having periods.

The shedding of the uterine lining triggers a release of prostaglandins, hormonelike substances

that can produce violent cramps of the uterine muscles and a constriction of arteries serving the uterus. Both can bring on nausea, vomiting and pain.

If your daughter can anticipate when her next menstrual period will occur, she should start taking a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug the day before the period starts. Motrin, Aleve, Nuprin and Advil are some brand names. She should continue taking them for the next few days. If she cannot predict when her period will begin, she should take this medicine at the first sign of a menstrual period. Anti-inflammatory medicines neutralize prostaglandins.

If those medicines don’t work, birth-control pills usually do. Staying on them for six months can end the problem.

Her doctor has to prescribe them. The doctor can look for things that contribute to menstrual cramping – fibroids, infections, endometriosis and polyps. Such things are uncommon for a young woman who has only started to have periods.

DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible.

HOMASVILLE – Cameron Szaloky may be a video-game fanatic – he even dreams of becoming a game designer someday – but the Thomasville youth is a solid academic player, too.

Cameron, a fifth-grader at Liberty Drive Elementary School, recently won the prestigious Nicholas Green Distinguished Student Award for North Carolina, an award presented by the National Association for Gifted Children. Only one student per state is honored with the award, which recognizes distinguished achievement in academics, leadership or the arts.

“Cameron has demonstrated remarkable academic skills and has shown tremendous potential to be an influential leader among his peers,” said Craig Steszewski, one of the teachers who nominated Cameron for the award.

The son of Jeff and Kim Shuler Szaloky, Cameron received a $500 U.S. savings bond and a Certificate of Excellence from the National Association for Gifted Children.

Cameron is an active online participant in the Duke University Talent Identification Program, which provides academically talented students in the fourth or fifth grade an opportunity to enhance their academic abilities.

He was also a participant in

They wanted to reward young people who are working hard to make the most of their lives and develop their unique gifts and talents, and who are now about the age that Nicholas was when he died.

Cy the Cynic says that when many people finally find a window of opportunity in life, they can’t get the darn thing open.

Today’s East thought his best chance to beat four spades was to find West with the Q-J of hearts. East overtook the first heart and led the jack of diamonds. He planned to win the second round of trumps, put West in with the jack of hearts and get a diamond ruff.

South saw through East’s plot. He therefore attempted to get rid of his last heart before he led trumps. South took the queen of clubs and next the A-K.

THIRD CLUB Alas, East ruffed the third club. South shrugged, overruffed and led a trump, and East proceeded with his plan and got his ruff for down one.

South had a window of opportunity, but it was stuck. When East ruffs the third club, South should go on and pitch his last heart. South trades his heart loser for an unnecessary trump loser, but West can no longer get in to give East a ruff.

So South loses only two trumps and a heart.

An unexpected occurrence will cause some doubt regarding a business associate. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Play it safe and you won’t be sorry. There are too many variables to take unnecessary risks. A sudden change in the way someone treats you will lead to greater uncertainty. It’s important that you focus on maintaining your integrity and dignity. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t limit your choices by refusing to accept a little change. There is too much on the line for you to waffle. Love is on the rise and an interesting proposition may be exactly what you need. ★★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Keep your emotions out of the decisions you must make.

You may be enticed by someone you work with. Before heading down that path, consider the consequences. Stick with the familiar not the unknown. ★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Focus on your home, happiness and personal relationships. You can make positive changes that will encourage the people you love to do more and to do better. A change will be as good as a rest and can offer you a new beginning. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’ll face opposition no matter what you do but that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t proceed. Don’t get anxious about debts – find a solution and work within a budget so that you don’t feel so tied down and helpless. ★★★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Taking on responsibility will impress someone considering you for a bigger and better position. If someone is angered by your choices, consider whether this relationship is to your advantage or is holding you back. ★★★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): It’s important to rise to the occasion and show everyone that you have something to contribute. Your sincerity and compassion will help you overcome any problems you face. Take advantage of any chance to work more. ★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You have the potential to excel professionally if you share your thoughts in a very imaginative manner. Your colorful outlook and expression of speech will get your plans up and running. An emotional encounter with someone you’ve lost touch with will bring you greater hope that you can succeed. ★★ ★★

RI students get free breakfast, suspended too WEST WARWICK, R.I. (AP) – Dozens of students from a Rhode Island high school who skipped classes for a free breakfast at Denny’s got grand slammed with suspensions.

Officials at West Warwick High School tell The Providence Journal that 46 students went to

Denny’s in Warwick on Feb. 9 to take advantage of a free “Grand Slam” breakfast.

Assistant Principal Paula Santos got wind of the outing and drove to the restaurant to tell the students to go to school.

Principal Karen Tarasevich says students who immediately went back

were dismissed with a suspension mark on their records. Those who didn’t return got two-day suspensions.

Tarasevich says she cracked down because last year students did the same thing, and one was involved in a car crash as he returned to school.

‘Heavy’ legs hurt Richardson ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

RICHMOND, British Columbia – Heather Richardson continues to shine during her first Olympics.

That shine may have been the gold, silver or bronze glean of a medal from the Vancouver Games if not for a near-fall in Thursday’s 1,000-meter longtrack speedskating race at the Richmond Olympic Oval.

Two days after stunning the world with a sixth-place finish in the 500 meters, Richardson landed ninth out of 36 competitors in the 1,000, the best of the events for which she qualified.

The 20-year-old High Point Central graduate set a blazing time early in the event, passing the 600-meter mark in 45.84 seconds.

She was one of just five competitors below 46 seconds and third-fastest overall.

Then, in the final turn, fatigue began to set in and Richardson slipped. She put her hand down to regain her balance, and instead of being more than a halfsecond faster than everyone else like she was at the 600 split, she was more than a quarter-second slower than the leader at that time.

“My legs just felt like they

were on fire,” said Richardson, who briefly held third place at the end of her run with 12 skaters to go. “They were just feeling heavy. You’re trying to keep your tip bow up and I tripped a little bit.”

Richardson’s final time of 1:17.37 left her .81 behind gold medalist Christine Nesbitt of Canada, who thrilled the crowd of 7,000 in the oval with the home country’s first speedskating gold and third overall of these games.

Annette Gerritsen (1:16.58 – just .02 behind the winner) and Laurine van Riessen (1:16.72), both of the Netherlands, got silver and bronze.

Jennifer Rodriguez was the top American this time around in seventh (1:17.08), while Richardson finished far ahead of teammates Elli Ochowicz (26th, 1:18.33) and Rebekah Bradford (29th, 1:18.788). Richardson had the top time of the four Americans in the 500.

The 1,500 remains for Richardson, with that competition beginning Sunday at 6 p.m.

Eastern. Live coverage will be unavailable on the NBC networks. Replays are scheduled to be shown in the 7 to 11 p.m. coverage block. Real-time scoring for each event is available at http://www.vancouver2010.

Repairs begin at Daytona

BY DAVE SKRETTA AP SPORTS WRITER

Daytona International Speedway began repairs Thursday to the damaged portion of Turn 2 that forced two delays during the Daytona 500 totaling more than two hours.

Track president Robin Braig said a team of engineers and asphalt specialists from North American Testing Corp. decided a strip of pavement will be removed and a reinforced concrete patch will be poured in the area where a significant pothole developed during Sunday’s race.

“This is the correct course of action to repair the track,” Braig said.

The patch in the asphalt surface will be about 6 feet wide and 18 feet long, and should hold up until the 2.5-mile, high-banked superspeedway undergoes a $20 million repaving scheduled for as early as 2012. The current surface was paved in 1978.

Engineers decided that heavy rain, including a flood last year, and cooler-than-normal temperatures weakened the track surface.

The pavement ultimately couldn’t hold up to the stress caused by tires and some cars, set low for better aerodynamics, that bottomed out.

“It never has happened in the history of the track and it does get inspected before these events,” said Bill Braniff, senior director of construction for NATC, during a confer-

ence call. “There was no indication we had any problems in that area prior to these events.”

The concrete patch will take about two days to pour with several days of cure time, but should be ready for Daytona 200 Week, a motorcycle event that begins next Thursday.

There will also be a tire test for the new Nationwide Series car on May 18-19 at Daytona, which should give track officials and pavement experts an indication of whether the patch will hold up. NASCAR returns to the track for its summer races the first week of July.

“We’ve talked with the American Motorcycle Association and they support this plan,” Braig said. “And we also have a really good test coming up with the Nationwide.”

Track workers and pavement experts spent 1 hour, 40 minutes to patch the pothole before resuming Sunday’s race. After 36 laps, the first patch broke up and officials scrambled to find another solution. They ended up gathering polyester resin products from teams, mixing it with a hardener and then heating it to turn the putty mixture into a jelled substance.

That patch held up over the final 32 laps without any noticeable issues.

Jamie McMurray wound up winning the Daytona 500, holding off Dale Earnhardt Jr. on the final lap of a green-whitecheckered finish.

HIT AND RUN

T

he Pac-10 gave us such basketball dynasties as UCLA and Arizona as well as legendary superstars such as Lew Alcindor (better known as Kareem AbdulJabbar), Walt Hazzard, Gail Goodrich, Bill Walton and Mike Bibby.

This year, the conference may only give us one NCAA Tournament team.

What gives?

For starters, the Pac-10 is suffering because the NBA took its best talent.

Twenty-one Pac-10 players were selected in the past two NBA Drafts – the most of any conference.

More than half of those draftees were early entries. Pac-10 players got real good

real fast and bolted for the big bucks.

Throw in a coaching change and selfimposed NCAA sanctions at Arizona and disappointing seasons by several teams and you have a dearth of Pac-10 candidates for the Big Dance.

In fact, it’s likely the league will receive just two bids this season – one for the conference champion plus one at-large berth.

It’s possible the Pac-10 will bag just one NCAA bid.

Wow. So who is the class of the Pac-10?

Entering Thursday night’s play, Cal led the way at 9-4 in the league and 17-8 overall.

Arizona State was next at 8-5 and 18-8. South-

ern Cal (7-5, 15-9) and Washington (7-6, 17-8) rank as longshots for at-large NCAA bids.

The other six squads need to win the Pac-10 Tournament to make it into the field of 65.

This could produce a classic Pac-10 Tournament March 10-13 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

It may even feature a vintage ACC Tournament feel. Recall that before NCAA Tournament expansion in the mid-1970s, only the ACC Tournament champ advanced to the Big Dance.

That may be the scenario at this year’s Pac-10 tourney.

Thursday’s highlights

Developments Thursday, Day 7 of the Vancouver Winter Olympics: VONN TRIPPED: Lindsey Vonn failed to get her ski tip around a gate and fell in the slalom run of the super-combined. That allowed her best friend and rival, Maria Riesch of Germany, to win the gold.

U.S. CURLERS REELING: The U.S. men’s curling team lost to Denmark 7-6, all but squashing its medal chances with an 0-4 start.

The American women also fell to Denmark by the same score, making them 0-3. By contrast, both Canadian men’s and women’s teams are undefeated.

HALF-A-LOAF IN THE HALFPIPE: U.S. women earned two medals in the halfpipe, with Hannah Teter taking silver and Kelly Clark bronze behind Australia’s Torah Bright.

STRIKING IT RICHMOND: Christine Nesbitt won Canada’s first gold medal at the Richmond speedskating oval when she beat Annette Gerritsen of the Netherlands by twohundredths of a second in the 1,000 meters, matching the tightest finish in the history of the race — Bonnie Blair’s 1992 victory over China’s Ye Qiaobo.

NORTHERN HIGH-LIGHTS: Tora Berger reached a milestone for Norway, winning the country’s 100th Winter Olympic gold medal in the 15-kilometer individual biathlon race. A short time later, Emil Hegle Svendsen won the 101st, taking gold in the men’s 20K individual biathlon.

Today at a glance Bode Miller won a bronze medal in the men’s downhill this week, one more medal than he took at the Turin Games in 2006. If Miller keeps skiing well, perhaps his Turin debacle will become a more distant memory.

He’s now won three Olympic medals, including two silvers in 2002. He’ll ski in the super-G on Friday, a day that also features cross-country skiing, ice dancing and the skeleton on NBC. BODES WELL?: Miller was once a world champion in the super-G, although that was in 2005. He didn’t finish when he raced in the event at the 2006 Olympics.

CROSSOVER: Poland’s Justyna Kowalczyk is a favorite in the women’s 15-kilometer pursuit, an event that combines classical and freestyle cross-country skiing techniques.

SAVE THE LAST DANCE: Canada’s Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir will be the last of 23 pairs to compete in ice dancing’s compulsory program. Americans Meryl Davis and Charlie White will skate 17th.

DIVING IN: Medals will be awarded in men’s and women’s skeleton, in which athletes go headfirst down the mountain on the same track used for luge and bobsled.

The Storm trailed by as many as 15 points before clawing back within two in the final minute. Justin Glover got a steal at midcourt and raced in for a layup, which he made while getting fouled. That tied the score at 92-all. Glover missed the free throw, but Eric Potts got the offensive rebound and passed to Kimani Hunt for the go-ahead layup with 33 seconds to go.

Sandhills had a final 3-point shot to win, but Hunt blocked it to preserve the victory. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another first for this team,â&#x20AC;? said thirdyear DCCC coach Matt Ridge of a 10-0 conference season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully this trend of firsts will continue and we can find a way to win the regional tournament next week.â&#x20AC;?

Glover finished with 24 points and 11 rebounds to lead the Storm, while Phillip Williams tallied 23 points, nine assists and great defense on Sandhills leading scorer Germann Bostic, who had 12 points to finish well below his season average.

Hunt and Potts each scored 14 points.

Davidson County (25-4 overall) competes at Davie County High School tonight against Carolina Prep out of Raleigh. DCCC plays host to the Region X Tournament starting next Thursday. The No. 1 seed Storm have a bye and will play Friday.

Vonn crashes in super-combined; Mancuso takes silver THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WHISTLER, British Columbia (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Lindsey Vonn stepped gingerly in her brown hiking boots, a grimace betraying the pain in her bruised right shin and the sting of a fall that prevented her from completing Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s super-combined race at the Olympics.

As Vonn moved from the finish area toward a throng of autograph-seekers, a chant rang out from fans a few yards away: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ju-li-a! Ju-li-a! Ju-li-a!â&#x20AC;?

The cheers were for Vonnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teammate, Julia Mancuso, who was making her way over after finishing second to Germanyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Maria Riesch in the super-combined to earn her second silver in two days. Yes, make room for another U.S. skiing

sensation at these Winter Games. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect that,â&#x20AC;?

Mancuso said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Such a great feeling of accomplishment and really just believing in everything I was doing.â&#x20AC;?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the nearly forgotten Mancuso, not the muchhyped Vonn, who owns two 2010 medals. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the recently mediocre Mancuso, not the World Cupdominating Vonn, who now is tied with Bode Miller for most career Olympic Alpine medals by a U.S. skier, with three.

Mancuso gave the United States its first medal in womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Olympic combined or super-combined since 1948. And her best event is yet to come â&#x20AC;&#x201D; next Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s giant slalom, the race the 25-year-old from Squaw Valley, Calif., won at the

Hip surgery after those Olympics led to back problems that made her something of an afterthought.

Thursday night, the Aussie strung five technically superior jumps together on her second attempt and landed them all for the perfect capper to a four-year ride full of injuries, experiments and, ultimately, victory.

More seeds fall in Match Play

Wolfpack’s futility continues against Vasquez, Terps RALEIGH (AP) — For the second straight year, Greivis Vasquez brought the ball upcourt against a beaten North Carolina State team as the final seconds ticked away in the RBC Center. Only this time — instead of burying a rub-it-in 3-pointer — he simply dribbled out the clock.

Besides, Vasquez and his Maryland teammates had long since made their point: They own the Wolfpack.

Vasquez scored 17 of his 26 points in the second half to help the Terrapins rally from a 10-point halftime deficit to beat N.C. State 67-58 on Wednesday night for their seventh straight victory in the series.

Freshman Jordan Williams matched his seasonhigh of 19 points to go with 11 rebounds for the Terrapins (18-7, 8-3 Atlantic Coast Conference), who pushed ahead for good

midway through the second half and shot 56 percent after the break. The win allowed Maryland to move into a second-place tie with Virginia Tech in the ACC standings just behind league-leading Duke.

The Terrapins are in the midst of playing four games in eight days. They lost big at Duke on Saturday, then returned home Monday to beat Virginia in a game postponed by snow before coming back to North Carolina to face the Wolfpack (14-13, 2-10).

The stretch ends at home against Georgia Tech on Saturday.

“We are resilient,” Maryland coach Gary Williams said. “To lose like we did at Duke, then come back (against Virginia) and win and then travel 12 hours later is tough. But you have to AP accept that the schedule’s Sean Mosley (14) of Maryland blocks the shot of N.C.

Mississippi State apologizes for actions of fans STARKVILLE, Miss. (AP) — Mississippi State officials have apologized to Kentucky for the actions of some fans who threw cups filled with ice and plastic water bottles onto the court near the end of Kentucky’s 81-75 overtime victory Tuesday night in Starkville.

The school issued the apology Wednesday in phone call to Kentucky officials, an e-mail to fans and a posting on the athletic department’s Web site.

The cups and bottles landed on both ends of the court, com-

ing close to Kentucky guard John Wall and almost hitting official Mike Kitts. The incident was broadcast on ESPN, which was telecasting the game.

The objects appeared to come from student sections in the record crowd of 10,788.

Kentucky coach John Calipari downplayed it, saying it was the action of no more than “15 fans” among thousands.

“Because of the actions of a few, we embarrassed our-

selves on national television and damaged the university’s name,” Mississippi State athletic director Greg Byrne wrote on the Bulldogs’ Web site.

“We will do our best to track down those individuals responsible and take appropriate disciplinary measures, which could include denial of future ticket privileges,” Byrne said.

Mississippi State president Mark Keenum said in a statement that he had called Kentucky president Lee Todd to offer an official apology to the

Bobcats deal two for Thomas CHARLOTTE (AP) — The Charlotte Bobcats addressed coach Larry Brown’s biggest wish on Thursday, acquiring power forward Tyrus Thomas from the Chicago Bulls just before the trade deadline.

Charlotte sent a future first-round pick to Chicago, along with the expiring contracts of guards Flip Murray and Acie Law. The Bobcats have lacked depth behind starting power forward Boris Diaw, and they hope Thomas will provide needed rebounding and shot-blocking as they

look for their first playoff berth.

The 6-foot-10 Thomas is averaging 8.8 points and 6.3 rebounds and making $4.7 million in the final year of his contract. He’ll be a restricted free agent this summer.

The Bobcats made another minor trade, acquiring veteran big man Theo Ratliff from San Antonio for a second-round pick.

It was a day of two trades for four expiring contracts for the Bulls, who are hoarding salarycap space for this summer’s highly touted free agent class. Chicago also

acquired forwards Hakim Warrick and Joe Alexander from Milwaukee for guard John Salmons.

The Bucks (24-28) and the Bobcats (26-26) are competing with the Bulls (27-26) for the final playoff spots in the Eastern Conference.

The 23-year-old Thomas was the fourth overall pick in the 2006 draft — taken right after Bobcats part-owner Michael Jordan selected the disappointing Adam Morrison.

After spending just one season at LSU, Thomas has been inconsistent and far from dominant in the NBA.

Rockets send McGrady to Knicks

BY BRIAN MAHONEY AP BASKETBALL WRITER

Tracy McGrady is headed to New York, and the Knicks hope even bigger names are coming in July.

They aren’t the only team lining up for a chance to become a summer spender.

The Knicks acquired the former scoring champion Thursday in a three-team swap with the Houston Rockets and the Sacramento Kings, a person with knowledge of the negotiations told The Associated Press. The deal left them

Ga. prep star killed POWDER SPRINGS, Ga. (AP) — Police in Georgia say a standout high school football star, Rajaan Bennett, who had been signed to play at Vanderbilt, has been shot to death by his mother’s ex-boyfriend.

Bennett was a running back at McEachern High.

on the verge of being able to offer two maximum salary contracts to the 2010 free agent class that could be headlined by LeBron James.

The Knicks can afford a run at James, and perhaps someone else in the class that could include Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh.

By including Jared Jeffries in the deal for McGrady, whose $22.5 million contract expires after this season, the Knicks removed $6.9 million from next season’s payroll and left them without about $32 million in salary cap

space. Those top free agents would earn a little more than $16.5 million in the first season of a max deal.

To get McGrady, they sent Jeffries and rookie Jordan Hill to Houston along with 2011 and 2012 draft considerations. The Rockets will get high-scoring guard Kevin Martin and forward Hilton Armstrong from Sacramento, while the Kings received Larry Hughes from the Knicks, Carl Landry and Joey Dorsey from Houston and sent guard Sergio Rodriguez to New York.

university and the entire Wildcats basketball program.

“This was an embarrassment for our university,” Keenum said. “That kind of behavior is totally unacceptable and far removed from the friendly and welcoming atmosphere that exists on the Mississippi State University campus.

“I have directed Greg (Byrne) to investigate the matter fully and to review security procedures to prevent this from ever happening again in Humphrey Coliseum,” Keenum said.

MARANA, Ariz. — The remaining top four seeds went down, and so did the defending champion.

The often-unpredictable Match Play Championship more than lived up to its reputation in a topsy-turvy second round at Dove Mountain on Thursday.

An event already minus Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson sent several of the world’s best to an early exit.

Lee Westwood, Jim Furyk, Martin Kaymer and Rory McIlroy — seeded second through fifth entering the tournament — were among the day’s losers. Defending champion Geoff Ogilvy was beaten by Colombian Camilo Villegas 2 and 1. Top-seeded Steve Stricker lost in Wednesday’s first round.

DURANT TAKES LEAD PLAYA DEL CARMEN, Mexico — Joe Durant birdied five of the final eight holes for a 7-under 64 and a onestroke lead Thursday in the PGA Tour’s Mayakoba Golf Classic.

Cameron Beckman, Briny Baird, Jarrod Lyle and J.P. Hayes opened with 65s.

Rivera ready at 40

Panthers set for diamond opener today A

s the only two local products on a 33-man roster, the numbers were against Murray White IV and Mikel Rodenberg getting a shot at making a significant impact.

When the college baseball season opens today, they get their chance at SPORTS being more than bit Greer players for Smith High Point â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; University.

White, previously a utility player, should be in the starting lineup at third base and No. 2 in the batting order when the Panthers play host to Charlotte at Williard Stadium at 4 p.m.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely a step up for the Ledford alum, who batted .196 with three RBIs while playing in 23 of HPUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 53 games last season. He gets his shot as head coach Craig Cozart rebuilds his infield. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gained a lot of strength since last season,â&#x20AC;? Cozart said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s put in a lot of work in the weight room and gained about 20 pounds.

The extra strength has helped him a lot. He had a great fall. He proved that he could hit the ball in the gap and occasionally hit it out of the park also.â&#x20AC;?

Rodenberg, who played at Wesleyan Christian Academy, has been designated the closer out of the bullpen as Cozart tries to improve a pitching staff that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have good numbers last year.

The Panthers return many of the key hurlers from a staff that had a 7.39 earned run average and gave up 679 hits and 283 earned runs in 468 innings as HPU went 2132, finishing below .500

for the 18th straight season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Mikel) is a fastball and slider kind of Rodenberg guy,â&#x20AC;? Cozart said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s made adjustments that he needed to make in his delivery. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shown a lot of improvement.â&#x20AC;?

Cozart thinks HPUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strength will be its offense, even though its top three hitters for average graduated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be able to do a variety of things,â&#x20AC;? Cozart said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to play small ball â&#x20AC;&#x201C; lay down the bunt, hit-and-run, hit the ball in the gap â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got some guys who can hit it out of the park.

We can steal some bases.

We can put pressure on a lot of teams in a variety of ways.â&#x20AC;?

The leading returning hitters include senior center fielder Max Fulginiti, senior left fielder Matt Gantner and junior Kyle Mahoney, who is switching from first base to catcher.

Fulginiti put together a 32-game hitting streak last year on the way to batting .324 and driving in 34 runs. Mahoney hit .327 and drove in 38 runs, both tops among the returners. Gantner returns after missing last season because of injury. He hit .294 in 2008.

Pablo Rosario, who hit .279 as a junior last year, will be the designated hitter. Fulginiti, Gantner and Rosario bat from the left side.

The top incoming prospect is right fielder Nate Roberts, a junior college transfer who is another left-handed hitter. Roberts was a 48th-round pick in the Major League draft who hit .511 with 10 homers in junior college.

The new first baseman is junior Steve Antolik, who played for Tallahas-

Murray White IV, who played at Ledford, will start at third base for High Point University in the season opener today against Charlotte. see Community College last season after earning freshman All-America honors at Charleston Southern.

The other two spots in the batting order and the middle of the infield will be filled by two freshmen. Mike Mercurio, from Brewster, N.Y., is the new shortstop.

Andrew Bartlett, from Ocala, Fla., hit four home runs in the fall and is the new second baseman.

Cozart expects Rosario to lead off. White was projected as second in the lineup, followed by Roberts, Gantner, Antolik, Fulginiti, Mahoney, Bartlett and Merurio.

Jamie Serber, a righthanded senior from North Forsyth who went 4-4 in 14 appearances last season, will be the starter today. He gave up 104 hits and 60 runs, walked 13 and struck out 26 in 69 innings last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our most experienced pitcher,â&#x20AC;? Cozart

said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fastball, curveball, change-up kind of guy and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s turned his curve into a strikeout pitch.â&#x20AC;?

Left-handed sophomore Al Yevoli (1-1, 38 hits, 33 runs, 17 Ks and 17 walks in 38 innings last season) will start Saturday at Charlotte.

Cozart said Yevoliâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fastball has been clocked in the upper 80s to low 90s.

Cozart said the third starter in the early rotation will be right-handed junior Brian Jones, who takes the mound Monday against Elon. Mike Caldwell and Corey Swickle, a pair of junior righties, are projected as middle relievers.

Caldwell was 3-2 with 70 hits, 38 runs, 17 Ks and 26 walks in 42 innings last season.

Swickle was 2-2 with a 4.91 ERA, 42 hits, 27 runs, 30 Ks and 20 walks in 30 innings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last year, these guys were learning our

system,â&#x20AC;? said Cozart, in his second year after replacing Sal Bando Jr. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We inherited a staff not blessed with good numbers. I think learning how to pitch our way has them going in the right direction.â&#x20AC;?

Cozart said freshmen righties Jamie Shultz from New York (fastball clocked in the mid 90s) and Jared Avidon of New Jersey could work their way in the rotation later in the season. Lefty junior college transfer Kyle Starnes could help out of the bullpen.

In a preseason poll, HPU was picked to finish fifth in the Big South. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our goal is to finish in the top three,â&#x20AC;? Cozart said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We should be able to compete in the top part of the league. We are going to score some runs this year. How well we do is probably going to come down to how well we pitch.â&#x20AC;? gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Mariano Rivera has no concerns about entering the final season of his contract at age 40.

The New York Yankeesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; closer doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how many more years he wants to pitch but says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I still think I can perform.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Take it a year at a time and see what happens,â&#x20AC;? Rivera said before the Yankeesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first workout for pitchers and catchers on Thursday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;See how things go, how things develop and go from there.â&#x20AC;?

Rivera went 3-3 with 44 saves in 66 games last season, helping the Yankees win their first World Series championship since 2000. He turned 40 on Nov. 29. â&#x20AC;&#x153;How old do I feel? I feel 40,â&#x20AC;? a smiling Rivera said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think that age will not be a factor unless you put in your mind. â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Oh, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m 40. I feel strong. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m ready to go.

I want to play the game I love to play.â&#x20AC;?

Rivera, captain Derek Jeter and manager Joe Girardi all are entering the final seasons of their contracts. Yankees co-chairman Hank Steinbrenner said the team will address new deals with the trio after the season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I definitely want to pitch.

GM opposing bill to help dealers DENVER (AP) — General Motors Co. is launching ads Friday against a bill aimed at helping Colorado dealerships terminated

by GM and Chrysler Group LLC. GM told 2,000 dealers nationwide it planned to revoke their franchise agreements in October, and Chrysler cut off 789 dealers. But Congress passed a law allowing dealers to appeal to arbitrators. GM says the bill bypasses the arbitration process and will hamper it as it works to become profitable and repay government loans.

Panel asks Toyota chief to testify WASHINGTON (AP) — A congressional committee investigating Toyota’s massive recalls on Thursday asked the company’s president, Akio Toyoda, to testify at its hearing, citing questions from the American public on “whether it is safe to drive their cars.”

Toyoda, the grandson of the Japanese automaker’s founder, has said he does not plan to attend a series of hearings in Congress scheduled to begin next week. But he told reporters in Japan on Wednesday that he would consider appearing before Congress if invited.

Rep. Edolphus Towns, a Democrat and chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, wrote Thursday that the committee wanted Toyoda to “clarify” how the company is addressing the recall crisis, which has grown over the past four months to 8.5 million vehicles globally with problems with gas pedals, floor mats and brakes.

“The public is unsure as to what exactly the problem is, whether it is safe to drive their cars, or what they should do about it,” Towns wrote in a letter to Toyoda.

Toyota, the world’s No. 1 automaker, did not im-

mediately comment on the invitation, which is rarely rejected by those asked to appear. The committee’s top Republican, Darrell Issa, has urged Toyoda to meet with lawmakers and has said that if necessary, the committee should compel the executive’s testimony by subpoena.

In Japan and in the United States, Toyota Motor Corp. has been criticized for being too slow to respond to the recall crisis and the company’s top executive has been accused of being largely invisible as the recalls escalated. But he has held three news conferences in recent weeks,

apologized repeatedly for the recalls and promised reforms.

Toyota has said it will create an outside review of company operations, do a better job of responding to customer complaints and improve communication with federal officials.

Toyoda has said he plans to travel to the U.S. soon to meet with workers and dealers but the company has not yet released his schedule.

Toyoda’s appearance before Congress would raise the profile of the Feb. 24 Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing. Yoshimi Inaba,

Ex-UBS exec settles insider trading claim NEW YORK (AP) — A former executive at UBS has agreed to pay nearly $2.8 million to settle civil insider trading allegations made by state regulators in New York.

New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo had accused former UBS municipal securities chief David Shulman of selling off his personal holdings in auction rate securities in late 2007 as markets for that type of investment were on the verge of failing.

Oil rises on weakened dollar NEW YORK (AP) — Oil prices rose above $78 a barrel Thursday as the dollar fell against other major currencies after a jobless report showing new claims for unemployment benefits rose unexpectedly.

At midday, benchmark crude for March delivery added $1.01 to $78.34 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, after falling to $76.32 earlier. In London, Brent crude added 68 cents at $76.95 a barrel on the ICE futures exchange.

J&J bonus plan to reward performance NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. (AP) — Johnson & Johnson is overhauling its employee bonus plan, saying it wants to make their levels more uniform for workers around the world.

The world’s biggest maker of health care products says just over a third will see lower bonuses, but the move will reduce compensation costs less than 5 percent.

The changes will start taking effect early next year. Company spokeswoman Carol Goodrich says they affect annual cash bonuses and longterm incentives.

DILBERT

chairman and chief executive of Toyota Motor North America, already is scheduled to appear at the session, along with top U.S. transportation officials.

The House Energy and Commerce Committee moved its scheduled hearing up to Feb. 23, one day ahead of the Oversight Committee meeting.

The energy panel has invited Jim Lentz, president of Toyota Motor Sales USA, and David Strickland, the head of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, to testify. A Senate hearing is planned for March 2.

Hundreds of people wait to enter a job fair in Hallandale Beach, Fla., in this January photograph.

Jobs improvement may be slowing WASHINGTON (AP) — Layoffs aren’t slowing as fast as some analysts had expected.

That was the message Thursday in a government report that the number of people filing first-time claims for unemployment benefits rose unexpectedly last week.

Jobless claims rose by 31,000 to a seasonally adjusted 473,000.

The increase followed a drop of 41,000 in the previous week. The earlier

figure had raised hopes that the job market was improving steadily.

The four-week average for claims dipped 1,500 to 467,500, near the lows at the end of last year.

The average smooths out week-to-week volatility. But many economists say the four-week average would need to fall consistently below 425,000 to signal that the economy is close to generating net job gains.

The economy has lost 8.4

million jobs since the recession began in December 2007.

Further evidence that the pace of the economic recovery is slowing was a private research group’s forecast of economic activity. The Conference Board’s index of leading economic indicators rose for a 10th straight month in January, but the rate of increase is easing. The index is designed to forecast activity in the next three to six months.

Many economists have raised concern that growth will stagnate this year as government support programs wind down and unemployment remains high.

The key message from the leading indicators is that the recovery from the worst recession since the 1930s is plodding ahead — “stumbling at times, but it is moving forward,” said Jennifer Lee, senior economist at BMO Capital Markets.

Charges drag DirecTV to loss NEW YORK (AP) — DirecTV Inc. on Thursday reported a fourth-quarter loss after absorbing a hefty merger charge. The nation’s largest satellite TV operator also added 60 percent fewer new subscribers as discounted bundles from competitors and a weak economy took their toll on growth.

DirecTV has benefitted

from cable companies losing ground in the battle for subscribers. However, it is up against aggressive marketing from fellow satellite TV operator Dish Network Corp. which has offered hefty promotions aimed at stealing away bargainhunters. Dish says its ads — which claim DirecTV service is more expensive — are bringing in custom-

ers. DirecTV is suing Dish for false advertising.

DirecTV still remains one of the brighter lights in the subscription TV industry.

It has focused on customers with higher credit scores, and won higher-paying viewers by ramping up the number of high-definition channels and offering its exclusive NFL Sunday Ticket package that airs football

games from other cities.

Still, the company isn’t immune to the drag of competition that has lured customers with promises of cheaper TV. DirecTV’s cancellation rate rose in the quarter.

CEO Michael White said it added fewer new customers due to “tighter credit policies, increased competition and a generally cautious consumer.

NEW YORK (AP) — Supporters of Google’s effort to create the world’s largest digital library on the Internet told a federal judge Thursday that it would benefit society, while opponents said it would infringe on copyright protections and violate the privacy of readers.

Marc Mauer, president of the National Federation of the Blind, said the audio capabilities of Google’s system “will give us access to 10 million books.”

But a lawyer for folk singer Arlo Guthrie and “Pay it Forward” writer Catherine Ryan Hyde claimed that the library would exploit his clients. Google’s proposed settlement offers “woefully inadequate compensation” for “unknown and undisclosed uses,” said the attorney, Andrew Devore.

Yahoo, Microsoft begin Web partnership WASHINGTON (AP) — Microsoft Corp. and Yahoo Inc. have received clearance from regulators in Washington and Europe to proceed with a search partnership intended to challenge Google Inc. Under the 10-year agreement, Microsoft’s Bing search engine will process search requests and steer search-related ads on Yahoo. Yahoo is due to get 88 percent of the revenue generated from the ads placed alongside the search results on its sites.

Altria plans to expand Marlboro Snus RICHMOND, Virginia (AP) — Cigarette maker Altria Group Inc. said Thursday that it plans to expand its Marlboro Snus smokeless tobacco in the U.S. by the end of March as it looks to shore up its business as Americans smoke fewer cigarettes.

The Richmond-based owner of Philip Morris USA, which makes the topselling Marlboro brand, began testing the product in select markets in 2007. Snus (pronounced “snoose”) are teabag-like pouches that users stick between their cheek and gum.

As tax increases, health concerns, smoking bans and social stigma continue cutting demand for cigarettes, Altria and other tobacco companies are seeking growth in cigarette alternatives — such as cigars, snuff and chewing tobacco — to keep customers.

Manufacturing report lifts stock market NEW YORK (AP) — An increase in regional manufacturing pushed the stock market to its third straight advance and offset concerns about lower sales at Wal-Mart.

The Dow Jones industrial average rose 84 points, bringing its gains for the week to nearly 300 points.

Treasury prices fell as improvements in some economic reports eased demand for safe havens.

The Philadelphia Federal Reserve said its index of regional manufacturing rose to 17.6 in February from 15.2 in January. That follows reports the past two days that also pointed to a pickup in business at the nation’s factories.

The report lifted stocks

of companies that process raw materials because increased manufacturing should boost sales. Newmont Mining Corp. and glass maker Owens-Illinois Inc. each rose more than 2 percent.

The market drifted higher in light trading volume so analysts cautioned against reading too much in to the latest gain. Light volume indicates that many investors with concerns about the market are staying on the sidelines.

The market’s gains were modest in the early hours of trading after Wal-Mart Stores Inc.’s reported a drop in quarterly sales at its flagship U.S. stores and issued a disappointing forecast.

At the same time, the

Labor Department reported that the number of workers seeking unemployment benefits for the first time rose 31,000 to 473,000 last week. Economists polled by Thomson Reuters forecast claims would fall. Unemployment is a major obstacle to a sustained recovery.

Investors have been buying stocks this week on growing evidence of improvement in the U.S. economy. They have stopped worrying, at least for now, about potential overseas troubles derailing a global recovery. Investors have been concerned that debt problems in Greece and other European countries could spread.

Eric Mintz, assistant portfolio manager of the Eagle Mid Cap Growth Fund in St. Petersburg, Fla., said traders were able to look past the latest jobs report because heavy snow in parts of the country has skewed some of the numbers to make unemployment look worse. He said the bulk of economic reports still signal the economy is improving.

Maria Martinez checks her sales receipt after checking out at a Wal-Mart in Marietta, Ga., in November 2009.

Wal-Mart profit rises 22 percent NEW YORK (AP) — Wal-Mart Stores Inc., one of the recession’s biggest beneficiaries, felt the pinch during the fourth quarter as quarterly sales fell at U.S. Walmart stores for the first time.

Still, overseas growth and a concerted cost-cutting campaign pushed profit up 22 percent.

The discounter, which rode low prices to dominate U.S. retailing, faced

tough price competition from rivals during the holidays. That contributed to a decline in customer counts and spending.

The company said that a key measure of sales showed its third consecutive quarterly decrease as it continues to grapple with deflation in groceries and electronics and a tough economy.

The company also offered a tepid earnings

outlook, sending shares down 76 cents to $53.30 in midday trading.

The sales weakness at its namesake U.S. division is happening even as the discounter says it continues to benefit from affluent shoppers trading down to its stores, but the results show that keeping these new customers may prove more difficult when the economy rebounds.

Wal-Mart has promised

investors that it plans to widen the price gap between itself and rivals as it cut costs and reinvests those savings to lower prices for shoppers, which in turn drives sales.

Wal-Mart earned $4.63 billion, or $1.21 per share, in the quarter ended Jan. 31. That compares with $3.8 billion, or 96 cents per share, in the same quarter last year.

Glaxo to remove zinc Greece facing from denture cream scrutiny over Goldman Sachs deal LONDON (AP) — The practice wasn’t secret and it wasn’t illegal, and some of it happened 10 or 15 years ago. But the practice of European governments reportedly using complex financial transactions to move debt off their books is getting closer attention from markets and the European Union.

The deals, known as swaps, let some governments shrink the apparent size of their debts, unsettling news at a time when markets are taking stock of Europe’s struggle with rising budget deficits.

Greece has until Friday to disclose to the European Commission how it

used complex currency swap deals and whether they were used to conceal the real scale of its debt — specifically a 2001 deal that Greek officials said they did with U.S. investment bank Goldman Sachs.

Under the deal, known as a currency swap, Greek dollar and yen debt was reportedly exchanged for euro debt for a period at an advantageous rate to be reversed at a later date.

The effect was to show less debt in the near-term.

The deals carry some of the hallmarks of the financial crisis — such as off-balance sheet liabilities and highly complex financial arrangements.

WASHINGTON (AP) — GlaxoSmithKline said Thursday it will remove zinc from its denture cream, following reports that excessive use over many years can cause neurological damage and blood problems in consumers.

The British manufacture will cease manufacturing and marketing Super Poligrip Original, Ultra Fresh and Extra Care products in the U.S. The company plans to reformulate the creams without zinc.

The company stressed that the products are safe when used as directed, but some patients use extra cream to help with ill-fitting dentures.

Glaxo’s voluntary action comes as hundreds of patient lawsuits are

poised to go to trial, alleging Poligrip caused nerve damage, leading to a loss of balance, loss of sensation in the hands and feet, and leaving patients unable to walk.

“They made the right decision in the sense that it’s going to prevent the crippling of more people,” said attorney Andy Alonso of Waichman Alonso LLP. “But it’s too late for many of my clients, unfortunately.”

Alonso represents more than a hundred users of denture cream in Miami federal court, where several hundred lawsuits are being consolidated. He estimates about 30 million people in the U.S. wear dentures and use products like Poligrip.

Shareholder activist to leave NY Times Co. board NEW YORK (AP) – A shareholder activist who joined the New York Times Co.’s board of directors two years ago will relinquish his seat at the end of April.

The newspaper publisher disclosed Scott Galloway’s intention to leave the board in a Thursday regulatory filing.

Galloway joined the

board two years ago as part of a compromise that resolved a standoff with a major shareholder, Harbinger Capital.

Harbinger and Galloway had been pressuring the Times Co. to shed its holdings outside the newspaper business and focus on expanding its online operations.
