By TONY BRITT firstname.lastname@example.com County officials received a $750,000 Community Development Block Grant to help low to moderate income residents make upgrades to their home or connect to the Ellisville Utility. The funding is fed- eral money from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The funds are adminis- tered through the Florida Department of Community Affairs. County officials have scheduled an information meeting to inform resi- dents about the grant and eligibility status for apply- ing for funding. The meet- ing is scheduled for 6 p.m. Tuesday at the Mason City Community Center. David Kraus, Columbia County Commission senior staff assistant, said the county can use the funds for two types of proj- ects either residential rehabilitation for low and moderate income family homes or for water connec- tions in Ellisville.

Westside's Harris.earns district honor By LEANNE TYO firstname.lastname@example.com Antonio Harris, student care attendant at Westside Elementary School, was named the 2011 Columbia County School-Related Employee of the Year on Thursday. Harris, who has worked in his position for three years, beat out 14 other school employees for the award. "I was very surprised," he said after the award cer- emony and luncheon held at the Lake City Church of Christ. "There was a lot of good competition. I was speechless." Harris said the credit goes to his "Westside family." "This is not my award," he said. 'This is our award. This is a recogni- tion that we have." The honor, estab- lished by the Florida Department of Education, is given annually to a school-related employee like a paraprofessional or a custodian, said Dorothy Spradley, district volunteer education and marketing coordinator. It recognizes outstanding education support person- nel for their school and community contributions, she said.

Local real estate market breaking even However, median prices of homes slips 8 percent. By TONY BRITT firstname.lastname@example.com The local real estate mar- ket is at a break-even point compared to this point last year, as local Realtors sold 36 homes in December - the same sold in December 2009, according to the Florida Sales Report. However, in December 2009, the median sales price for a home was $125,450 compared to $116,000 in 2010, an 8 percent decrease in the median sales price. "We were flat-lined in sales last month," said Dan Gherna, executive vice president of the Lake City Board of Realtors. The Florida Sales Report tracks what was done last December compared to sale and price numbers from December 2009. The report tracks monthly sales (number of units sold) and the median sales price for single-family, site-built homes. Gherna said in 2010 there was an 11 percent increase in the number of homes sold, but there was an 11 percent decrease in the median sales price. "Some of the explanation for that in the median sales prices in 2009, 30 percent REAL ESTATE continued on 3A Top Talents in dancing get ready to compete Best on their feet will be chosen No. 1 in County. By A.C. GONZALEZ email@example.com Watch out, dancing stars: Local students will display their hottest moves when Columbia's Top Talent com- petition returns on Friday. "These kids have been dancing for years, but this is the first show where they get to show off dancing, specifically, before other students," event organizer Ronnie Collins said. Seven acts have made it through the auditions. The competitors will face judges and a large audience while performing their rehearsed dance routines. Collins said they'll be' plenty of excitement dur- ing the show, which begins at 6 p.m. at the auditorium of Columbia High School. Seating starts at 5:30 p.m. Tickets are $5 per student and $7 per adult. Mercedes Moore and Carltonette Claridy will be performing a dance routine together. "It feels awesome to have the chance to perform, because this is our first time here," Moore said. "It's also kind of nerve- racking, since I've never been up in front of this school before." Claridy agreed with Moore. "I'm still nervous," she said. "But being ner- vous- just gives me the energy and drive to bring it harder." Collins said that the event, hosted by Audr6 Washington, will also include special perfor- mances. Other performers will include CHS seniors Colby Craig and Caitlin Edie; Small Town, a singing trio of young -men from Fort White High School; The Golden Divas Step Team; and the Richardson Middle School Step Team.

This year, it is serving as a new beginning. Life for the multiplatinum sensa- tion dramatically changed on the eve of music's biggest night in 2009, when he assaulted then-girlfriend Rihanna and both were forced to bow out of the ceremony. In the months that followed, he saw his reputation tarnished, he had to plead guilty to a felony, and his comeback CD, "Graffiti," was a commercial dis- appointment. But with the success of his brush- off anthem "Deuces," three nomina- tions at this year's Grammys (includ- ing best contemporary R&B album),' an upcoming CD and an Australian tour in April, the focus on Chris Brown has returned to his music, without adding the Rihanna-prefix. Brown, now 21, is serving five years of probation after pleading guilty to felony assault for the attack on Rihanna in the early morning hours before the 2009 Grammys. The Virginia native was commended in November for completing more than one-third of the required 180 ' days of community service and for almost finishing his domestic vio- lence counseling. Perry: '90210' guys remain close friends . NEW YORK Luke Perry said having his former "90210" co-star Jason Priestley direct his new TV film wasn't exactly a reunion because they stayed close friends even after moving on from the teen drama. Perry said he and Priestley "always talk on the phone," and his other male co-stars, including Ian Zering and ASSOCIATED PRESS In this June 27 file photo, singer Chris Brown accepts the AOL Fan-Demonium mention at the BET Awards in Los Angeles. Brian Austin Green, were a "really good, strong core group" while the show aired from 1990 to 2000. He said they maintain close ties to this day. Perry stars in and Priestley directs the Hallmark Movie Channel's "Goodnight for Justice," which pre- mieres Saturday at 7, p.m. Eastern. Perry plays a judge in Wyoming in the late 1800's. Perry said the friendship and trust he shared with Priestley created a sort of "shorthand" when it came to film- ing. Will Ferrell to visit 'The Office' for an arc NEW YORK Will Ferrell is coming to "The Office." Ferrell will play a visiting branch manager over an arc of several episodes. NBC announced the cast- ,ing Wednesday with the promise that Ferrell's character will be "just as inappropriate" as Steve Carell's Michael Scott. Carell's -farewell is expected four episodes before the season finale of "The Office." In preparation of his exit, NBC is bringing in high-profile guests, including "The Office" cre- ator Ricky Gervais, reprising his role as David Brent. Gervais will make a cameo in Thursday's episode, which airs at 9 p.m. EST.

Gingrich derides Obama speech BOYNTON BEACH - Weighing his own presi- dential bid, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich on Thursday derided the State of the Union speech by President Barack Obama as "shallow and lacking in seriousness." In a visit to Bethesda Memorial Hospital in Boynton Beach,, the Republican said he didn't find humor in Obama's biggest laugh Tuesday night: A joke about federal salmon laws to illustrate the massive government bureaucracy. "It's not a joke," Gingrich said of the size of government. "It's too big." Gingrich effusively praised-Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, who delivered the official Republican response to Obama's speech, saying the con- gressman was "a very serious, thoughtful person who offered a very sober and honest analysis." He went less far in his support of Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota, who delivered the tea party rebuttal to Obama. Gingrich called her "a very aggressive articulator" and said "she has done a very good job of representing the anger and the frustration and concern of the tea party." The politiciari later exalt- ed the tea party as a force for "having more money in your pocket and more time in your life." Scott: Restore Commerce Dept.

Valdosta Ci .; C l .il ASSOCIATED PRESS Newt Gingrich speaks to a group of health care officials at Bethesda Memorial Hospital in Boynton Beach Thursday after he visited a patient undergoing hyperbaric treatment. He was at the hospital to speak on the tropic 'Heathcare reform, what happened and what's still needed' to health care officials . opment efforts. The new Republican governor announced his proposal at a board meeting of Enterprise Florida, a pub- lic-private partnership that assumed the department's economic development role when it was dissolved in 1996. Associated Industries of Florida president and CEO Barney Bishop said attracting new businesses and jobs requires a different approach than what Florida is doing now. Scott was short on details but said he wants the agen- cy's head to have an office near his own in the Capitol rather than in a-separate building. The governor later issued a statement saying the new department would consoli- date economic, workforce and community develop- ment functions "under one roof and make our efforts more efficient." He plans, though, to maintain Enterprise Florida as a sepa- rate entity. Scott said it would be a step toward fulfilling a campaign promise to create 700,000 new jobs in seven years. Those would be in addition to about a million new jobs expected to result from economic recovery over that span even if the state d6es nothing. Mom of beaten daughter sues MIAMI The mother of a girl who authorities said was savagely punched and stomped on the grounds of a middle school by another teen wearing steel toe boots filed suit Thursday against a South Florida school board. .Hilda Gotay, the mother of 16-year-old Josie Lou Ratley, alleges that the Broward County school board was negligent by failing to provide adequate " security and student supervision at Deerfield Beach Middle School, where the attack occurred in March, 2010. The lawsuit, filed in a Florida circuit court, states that Ratley was left "perma- nently and totally disabled." Investigators said Wayne Treacy, a high school stu- dent, punched and stomped on Ratley, striking her with his boots. Treacy, now 16, has been charged as an adult with attempted mur- der. u Jacksonville Cape Canaveral Tallahassee Lake City 64 40 Daytona Beach 6'5 .37 64 Ft.

The Columbia County Branch of the NAACP is kicking-off its annual Church Freedom Bell membership contest. The contest was initiated in 1996 and has contributed to the branch being known as the "small branch with the large mem- bership" by state, regional and national offices. The NAACP was founded in 1909 by black and white citizens and is the nation's oldest and largest civil rights organization. Its adult and youth members through- out the United States and the world are premier advocates for civil rights in their communities, conducting voter mobiliza- tipn and monitoring equal opportunity in the public and private sectors. The local branch received numerous letters, e-mails, faxes, telephone calls, and personal appearances from troubled indi- viduals asserting discriminatory practices, unfair treatment and unjust terminations. "Without fanfare, this branch has settled many cases, one case for $60,000, and reached satisfactory financial settlements and other solutions," said President John Mayo. "We will continue to be the voice for the voiceless, and do those things that are for the betterment of all humanity." The church that collects the most adult NAACP memberships between now and April 7 will earn the opportunity to dis- play the gold Freedom Bell throughout 2011. The bell will be engraved with the name of the church, the pastor, and the year. The winner will be announced at the annual NAACP Freedom Fund Luncheon 12 p.m. April 23. . Past winners include: 1996 and 1997, Community Revival Center, the Rev. Clyde Douglas; 1998, New Bethel Missionary Baptist Church, the Rev. Alvin Baker; 1999 2004, Philadelphia Baptist Church, the Rev. .Isadore Williams; 2005 and 2006 Union A.M.E. Church, the Rev. Fred Wallace; and 2007 -2010 New Bethel. NAACP officers and members are also challenged to individually solicit NAACP memberships. "All NAACP members are volunteers, and they serve communities without pay. Yes, free," Mayo said. "We encourage each of you to please support the cause for freedom. A yearly membership is only $30. A life membership is $750." GRANT: Information meeting Tuesday Continued From Page 1A home," Kraus said. "As long as you commit to staying in that house for five years, you can get the grant." Under the grant guide- lines, Ellisville residents who have bad water, may need a new well, or have water quality-related issues where they may have to hook-up to the Ellisville Utility in the future, can apply for the grant funds. "Even if you just want to hook-up to the Ellisville Utility, this grant will give you the funds to take of everything," Kraus said. "From the plumbing in your house, to the, instal- lation of a meter, to the tie-in to the lines, capacity fees and connection fees - at that point all you would be responsible for is your monthly bill." Columbia County received a2009 Community Development Block Small Cities grant. County officials applied for funding in early in 2010 and in November they were notified they were grant winners. Since January, the county has been accepting applications for the allo- cation of those funds to residents. He said a total of 12-15 applications have already been submitted requesting grant funds for either project. Kraus said the county will continue to accept applications until at least Feb. 25. "We encourage people to attend especially those in Ellisville that may need the water and sewer con- necti6n," he said. "We'll bWe there to answer any questions." EMPLOYEE: District's best is chosen Continued From Page 1A About 700 support personnel are on staff with the school district The 15 nomi- nees for Thursday's award represent- ing each county school and the Columbia County School District administrative complex collectively totaled nearly 200 years of experience in their professions. - Nominees included Celeste Belvin Bradley, Challenge Learning Center; Wendy McIntosh, Columbia City Elementary; Henry Williams, Columbia High School; Scharlotte Stewart, Eastside Elementary; Barbara LaChance, Five Points Elementary; Maureen Ledbetter, Fort White Elementary; Hideko Sadowski, Fort White Middle/High; Lisa Park, Lake City Middle; Susan A.

Harris received an additional $125, will receive $200 from the DOE and was presented with a key to the city by Lake City Mayor Stephen Witt. REAL ESTATE: Breaks even Continued From Page 1A of the homes sold were dis- tress sales (foreclosure or short sales)," he said. "In 2010 we were close to 40 percent in distress sales." (Short sales are when a homeowner owes more than the actual market value of the home and the bank is willing to accept current market prices for the home in lieu of foreclosure.) Although the market is slow, it's not entirely stag- nant "The $150,000 and below market is actually doing very well right now," Gherna said. 'The $150,000 range and below constitut- ed 70 percent of the 2010 sales." He said the $150,000- $200,000 market only constituted 16 percent of the 2010 sales, while the $200,000-$300,000 market constituted 12 percent of the 2010 sales. The over $300,000 market was only 2 percent of the 2010 sales. "Our low end market is a healthy market and the mid-range market is soft," Gherna said. "We have about a 15-16 month inven- Adv.

Risak, 754-0427 OPINION Friday, January 28, 2011 www.lakecityreporter.com 0 0 THEIR INION Proposal to arm teachers backfires How far out on the fringe is Sen. Mark Christensen's proposal to allow teachers and other-school employees to carry concealed weapons? Consider this: There's apparently only one school in the country that allows teachers to tote fire- arms. In 2007 trustees of the small Harrold Independent School District in Texas approved a policy that allows school employees to carry concealed weapons. Employees must be authorized by the district, have a Texas concealed weapon license, have received training in crisis management and hos- tile situations and use ammuni-. tion with a low risk of ricochet. Some school employees already carry guns, of course. But those guns are carried openly by personnel whose pri- mary role is public safety. For example, in the recent shooting at Millard South High School an armed school resource offi- cer was on the grounds, but unable to intervene. Most school security experts suggest that other security measures, such as metal detec- tors,, should be given higher priority than allowing teachers the right to carry a pistol. Statistics show, however, that the actual risk of a school shooting is far lower than pub- lic perception. The average school can expect such a school shooting only "about once every 12,800 years," even when the projec- tion is based the worst 10-year period for school violence from 1992-3 to 2001-02, according to the Youth Violence Project.

BY E-MAIL: firstname.lastname@example.com Playing nice is hard work Not to interrupt any punch-ups, but the call has gone out across America for a toning down of violent or harsh political rhetoric. This is easier said than done. Still, thanks must go to House Majority Leader Eric. Cantor (R-Va.) for setting a fine example. Appearing Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press," he was asked about the "birther" movement, which seeks President Barack Obama's birth certificate as the knights of Camelot sought the Holy Grail except the birthers have a more medieval defiance of logic. To the relief of stuffy, old- fashioned types like me who prize reason in public life, Cantor said he believes Obama ' is a citizen and suggested this is not an issue for the American people. Phew! However, the official confirmation that the Republican Party is not really that crazy is not the big news, as startling as that revelation may be. Even more interesting was that Cantor refused to call people who question Obama's citizenship "crazy." "I don't think it's nice to call anyone crazy," he said. That is so true, although it probably means "barking mad" is out, too, and that does have a nice ring to it. On the other hand, who wants to be accused of being "nice?" It is the most anemic of descrip- tions. In fact, I understand from lexicographers the learned folks who compile dictionaries so well they can afford a new Lexus every year that "nice" often hangs out with "namby- pamby" in the dictionary and both are bullied by the aggres- sive adjectives. Why, if anybody dares call me "nice" at my funeral, I am going LETTER Reg Henry rhenry@post-gaze te.corn to leap out of the casket to com- plain, and.several of the larger pallbearers will have to sit on the lid to contain me. "Nice? Nice?" my muffled cries will say. "Can't you people do better than, that? If you said I was famous for having expressive eyebrows, at least that would be something remarkable." But I guess we are stuck with "nice" here in the land of the living, courtesy of the supposed new tide of civility. As a cur- mudgeon, I am not necessarily against this, because it Would make for a nice (that word again) change. Yet the rediscovery of courte- sy does leave un-nice people of all political persuasions in a bit of a bind as Cantor's exqui- site sensitivity to the birthers illustrates. What are we to call people whose cranial cavity has becom- ing totally filled with political nonsense? Presidential birth certificate hobbyists? Wishful thinkers? Let's face it, if you can't call these people crazy, who or what is left? It would be just wrong to leave members of the Flat Earth Society as the last objects of our scorn. So how do we play our proper part, watching our p's and q's and our R's and D's, so that no fisticuffs break out and little bunnies gambol beside political podiums? I suggest the adoption of euphemism, which is not to be confused with euphonium, which is a musical instrument, although both are designed to take brassy interludes and impart to them a sweeter sound. It wduld be wrong to suggest that name-calling hasn't been used in this column in the sorry past. Some readers have suf- fered an attack of the vapors as the result of my use of the term "ratbag," a venerable Australian word, which translatesas "bag, full of rats," which maybe you guessed. It is amazing how many people it describes. Unfortunately, the political correctness of courtesy will have to-strike that colorful word from my vocabulary, but, talk- ing of ratbags just one last time for nostalgia's sake, I remem- ber when Rush Limbaugh denounced me on his radio show a few years back. While he was objecting to the theme of my column infused as it was with the wisdom of liberal thought and thus guaranteed to irritate those who deserve to be irritated he was not pleased that I had grouped him with other con- servatives who "seem to take pride in resembling the nether quarters of horses." Rush asked his listeners if I was calling him a horse's -. Here he said an uncouth * word, which I will not repeat because that would not be nice. But to belatedly answer his question, yes, I was. This is the euphemism I speak of. We must use it all the time from now on. It will require a little more work and a sense of humor, which has lately been in short national supply. But the Committee of Raging Archivists with Zany Yearnings (CRAZY) should be warned that we are not going to play nice even as we speak nice. Big Stupid (BS) must always be resisted in force- ful terms. E Reg Henry is a columnist for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. TO THE EDITOR RVers make Walmart parking lot safer No overnight parking signs went up at our Walmart recently. RVers come to Lake City just for the overnight parking. Check out walmartrving@yahoogroups. com. They plan their stops from up north and spend money not only at Walmart, but also local restaurants and shops, want- ing to stretch their legs after a long day's drive. Those folks (snowbirds) will not go to a local campground, as they are want- ing to get down here as soon as possible and see no reason to pay for just sleeping. Once they find the Lake City Walmart is NOP, or no overnight parking, they will go elsewhere. So the ban doesn't help anyone. In fact, other than the few prob- lem RVers who want to 'camp' at Wally World for the winter, RVers actually make the parking lot safer more eyes with cell phones at hand. Also, what business is it of the government how Walmart polices their parking lot as long as there are no safety issues? Walmart says they want RVers to be able to park and will not turn overnighters away, but warn the government has made a no-overnight parking regula- tion. Is there a bonafide reason for government to intrude upon the property rights at Walmart? Maybe your property might be next. Frank Walter Lake City road back to solvency by insist- ing our political leaders be hon- est with us. * Scripps Howard columnist Ann McFeatters has covered the White House and national politics since 1986. 4A - I c : Ann McFeatters email@example.com Straight" talk on budget deficit have a fiscal crisis; not one of our big- name politicians is being straight with us on what to do about it. Right after President Barack Obama's pleasantly platitudi- nous but decidedly anemic State of the Union "Sputnik-moment" speech, we were told that the projected deficit for this year will be $1.5 trillion, the highest, adjusted for inflation, since the ' end of World War II. Obama's solution is to "out- innovate, out-educate and out- build the rest of the world." To soothe Republicans, he said he'd veto earmarks, those pesky little set-asides that legislators put in the budget for their own districts. Nice sentiment but it won't save much. He proposed freezing government spend- ing, which he also promised last year. He said nothing new or specific about curbing the soaring cost of Medicare. He did not say .hpw to pay for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. He did not address the rapidly approaching crisis of confidence'- in the U.S. ability to pay its debts. David Walker is the former U.S. comptroller general (audi- tor) under Republican and Democratic presidents who is aggressively vocal about facing up to our structural economic deficiencies. He said Obama's ' speech.on style, tone and deliv- ery rated "A." On substance, Walker gave the speech a solid "D," saying the president failed to educate the public on our options. Americans were asked what spending they'd cut. Hands down, they answered foreign aid. We spend about $25 billion on foreign aid out of a $3.7 tril- lion budget. Defense accounts for 19 percent of the budget, but most Republicans do not want major cuts in defense spending. Nor do Americans want cuts in costly entitlement programs. Two days after Obama's speech, the bipartisan Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission released a book-length report on the 2008 financial system collapse. It blames everybody - presidents, inept govern- ment regulators, banks' appall- ing mortgage lending practices,., Wall Street greed. It concludes . the crisis was avoidable, but only six of the ten commis- sion members (all Democrats) endorsed its findings. Yet another warning dumped on the proverbial shelf. Little is being, done to prevent another crisis, and some propose eliminating even the mild financial industry regulations just signed into law. Meanwhile, we have passed another milestone we owe $14 trillion. It may rise as high as $19.6 trillion in four years. Right now, interest only on the debt consumes 8 percent of our budget. Our national debt and those rising annual deficits are crushing us. The problem is so huge it won't be solved by either/or solutions such as higher taxes vs. spending cuts.

GONZALEZ agonzalez@lakecityreporter. corn A pet food and supply drive will take place outside the front doors of Winn Dixie and the Tractor Supply Company from 1:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday. Sam Martin, a Life Scout and coordinator of the event, said the event will benefit the Lake City Animal Shelter. "We will basically be sit- ting outside of those .two stores," said Martin, "and taking donations of pet food, bowls, beds and sup- plies in general to support the animal shelter." Martin has coordinated the event as a means to complete an Eagle Scout service project, which will award him his Eagle Scout status. "This isn't only for my Eagle Scout project," he said. "I really want to raise awareness for the needs of the animal shelter. "Myself and a few other scouts will be setting up a booth and telling people about how they can help, and about everything that the shelter does to help the community." He said that the animal shelter would possibly send over two dogs in support of the supply drive. All sorts of donations for animals will be accepted. However, Martin said that bowls, beds and food are the most prominent of the shelter's necessities. "I am optimistic about the drive and I hope as many people as possible will come out to support a great cause," he said. Reid prepares fight with Obama over targeted spending projects By CHARLES BABINGTON Associated Press WASHINGTON If any- one thought Sen. Harry Reid's near-death political experience last fall would chasten the Senate major- ity leader, think again. The Nevada Democrat is back in his familiar perch, direct- ing the Senate's actions and firing shoot-from-the-lip zingers at powerful politi- cians, including President Barack Obama. Shortly before Obama used his State of the Union A Put a little Iose Lake City Repo )ou lose b) .riti our 'a speech to say he would veto any bill with lawmaker-tar- geted spending projects, known as "earmarks," Reid struck pre-emptively. The president "has enough power already," he told reporters, and Obama's effort was just a "lot of pretty talk." A day after Obama's speech, Reid was no more diplomatic. The president should "back off' on his earmarks push, Reid told NBC Nightly News. White House press sec- retary Robert Gibbs said Thursday that the disagree- ment is serious for a presi- dent and his party's Senate leader. Asked whether Obama and Reid would have a "come to Jesus meeting," Gibbs quipped: "I don't know who would be Jesus." Turning serious, Gibbs said Obama was clear about curbing earmarks.

WALKER Associated Press NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The Tennessee Titans have parted ways with Jeff Fisher, who just complet- ed his 16th full season as the NFL's longest-tenured coach. The team said in a news release Thursday night that "Fisher will no longer be the head coach of the team." The Titans announced the move within an hour of a report by SI.com that they were negotiating Fisher's departure, The in o ve o n Ily ,: o w ner B u d Fisher Adams announced Fisher would stay on for the final year of his current contract, a move that would have left Fisher coaching for his future.

By JOHN PYE Associated Press MELBOURNE, Australia - Roger Federer saved a parting shot for anyone who thinks his time is up and a changing of the guard in tennis awaits. "Yeah, I mean, they say that very quickly. ... Let's talk in six months again," he said. The heavily hyped duel between Federer and Rafael Nadal will not happen in Melbourne, opening a rare window for someone else. Federer, the defending champion, lost to Novak Djokovic 7-6 (3), 7-5, 6-4 in the Australian Open semi- finals Thursday night. It marks the first time since 2008 neither of tennis' most dominant men will play in a Grand Slam final. Less than 24 hours earlier, an ailing Nadal's pursuit of a Rafa Slam evaporated in a quarterfinal loss to fellow Spaniard David Ferrer. Djokovic will play Ferrer or Andy Murray in the final. On the women's side, the title match is set with Kim Clijsters facing Li Na. Clijsters beat Vera Zvonareva 6-3, 6-3, and Li eliminated top-ranked Caroline Wozniacki 3-6, 7-5, 6-3. Federer and Nadal have combined to win 21 of the last 23 majors. This is also the first time since 2003 that Federer, a 16-time Grand Slam winner, will not hold at least one of the four major trophies. The Swiss great was out- played by Djokovic, who reveled in the cooler night weather. It was the second straight time Federer has lost to the Serb he had match points before losing in the U.S. Open semifi- nals. "It's disappointing and it hurts in the moment itself," Federer said.

They will be joined in the Eastern Conference starting lineup by Amare Stoudemire, who will become the first New York Knicks player to start in nearly two decades, and Orlando center Dwight Howard, the leading vote-getter in the con- ference with nearly 2.1 million. The Lakers' Kobe Bryant earned his 13th straight All-Star selection for the Feb. 20 game at his home arena. He is one shy of the record held by Jerry West, Shaquille O'Neal and Karl Malone. Bryant, a three-time MVP of the All-Star game, was the overall leading vote-get- ter with more than 2.3 mil- lion. The other starters announced Thursday were Hornets guard Chris Paul, forwards Kevin Durant of Oklahoma City and Carmelo Anthony of Denver, and Houston center Yao Ming, who is injured and will be replaced on the roster by a player of commissioner David Stern's choosing. James and Wade, who both received more than 2 million votes from fans, -will become the first set of teammates to start for the East since Wade and O'Neal represented the Heat in the 2007 game in Las Vegas. "We try to represent our team, try to represent our franchise the right way every time we go out on the basketball court, and the fact that we've had so many votes by these fans, like I said it's very humbling and we appreciate it," James said before the Heat faced the New York Knicks. Rose beat 'out Celtics guard Rajon Rondo to earn his first All-Star start and the first by a Chicago play- er since Jordan started the 1998 game. "I think it's recognition for the job he's done this year," Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said. "All-Star games, those are great. He certainly earned it, but ... I'm more concerned with what he's done for our team. And he's done a lot for the team." Fans voted for the start- ers, but the reserves will be chosen by the head coach- es in their respective con- ferences. Their votes must be submitted to the league office by next Tuesday, and the announcement will come next Thursday night. Stoudemire has revital- ized the Knicks since arriv- ing from Phoenix in the summer. He beat out peren- nial starter Kevin Garnett for the second forward spot and is just the fifth Knicks player to be selected a starter since fans began voting in 1974-75. Patrick Ewing was the last one to start in 1992, though he was elected again in 1997 but couldn't play because of a strained left groin. In a rarity in All-Star bal- loting, the fans nailed it in the East. Stoudemire, James and Wade all rank among the league's top five in scor- ing, and Rose and Howard are right there with them as MVP candidates. Wade was the MVP of last year's game in Dallas Cowboys Stadium and hit the winning shot in the East's 2006 victory in Houston. "It's an honor," Wade said of his election. "It's not as big a deal as it was when I first came in. It was like my heart was racing the day of the final vote hoping I get in. It contin- ues to be an honor to get the same respect from the fans." The West vote was flawed by the election of Yao, who despite missing nearly the entire season continues to earn a huge vote total from his native China. West coach Gregg Popovich of the San Antonio Spurs will pick one of his reserves to start. ASSOCIATED PRESS Miami Heat's LeBron James dunks in the first quarter against the New York Knicks in New York on Thursday. NHL shakes up All-Star game with unique draft By IRA PODELL Associated Press RALEIGH, N.C. -While the NFL and NBA are fac- ing labor uncertainty, the NHL is taking a moment to, puff. out its chest as it heads into an AllStar weekend unlike any other. ' Six years after a full season was lost, the NHL finds itself in a unique posi- tion of negotiated calm and unprecedented success. Hockey will never enjoy the revenue streams the NFL produces, but the little brother league can relate to the uncertainty that threat- ens upcoming football. and basketball games. The NHL certainly likes its current view, far away from the storm. As it takes the midsea- son spectacle to Raleigh for the first time, the NHL said it is on pace to break rev- enue records. The league expects total revenue to rise for the fifth straight year to nearly $2.9 billion. League generated revenue is believed to be going up by 14 percent an 85 percent jump over the past four years. 'The league is extreme- ly well positioned,' NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman said. "The vital signs are good and we antic- ipate continued growth and momentum. The strong numbers are a testament to a great product on the ice, a growing fan base that loves our game, and a strategy that provided a path for corporate America to reach that fan base." And now the NHL is pushing the envelope. While the league and the game will take a big hit because Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby the face of the league and its most popu- lar player is out with ,a concussion, at least there is another hook to draw people in. Outside of taking the All-Star game outside a la the Winter Classic on New Year's Day it is hard to envision a more radical change to the format that seemingly worked for years. This year's teams will be cho- sen by a televised draft on Friday. "You look around the leagues, the concept is pretty much the same: voted in or picked by fans or hockey personnel," Phoenix Coyotes defense- man Ed Jovanovski said. "I'd say this caught people probably 90 percent off- guard." TENNIS: Federer admits bad play Continued From Page 11 have won here again for the fifth time. But wasn't possible tonight. It's not the end in any way. It's a start for many other tour- naments after this." Federer said he didn't play the key points well. He f6ll behind quickly in the first-set tiebreaker on backhand errors, giving Djokovic four set points. In the second set, he got up a break. Djokovic was scrambling, twice tumbling to the court and losing his racket as he tried to stay in rallies. But Federer, so used to moving in for the kill, let a 5-2 lead slip and dropped the set. From there it was just about over. "Every time I had slight opportunity, either ILdidn't play my best or he played his best," Federer said. "It was a tough night from this standpoint. Those are sometimes the way match- es go." Nadal limped away from his match, saying he had a small muscle tear in his upper left leg and casting doubt on his readiness for at least a few weeks. Federer has no ailments to speak of. "I feel very good. I'm very optimistic about the next 15 tournaments, how- ever many I'm playing," he said. "I've barely lost matches lately really, so I'm happy with where my game is at, with where my condition is at. "I'm really excited for what's to come. This is obviously a bit of a blow. At the same time, I played a good tournament. I have no regrets." Djokovic planned to relax and eat popcorn while watching Friday night's semifinal between Murray, the 2010 finalist, and No. 7-ranked Ferrer. Murray was leading Nadal in the quarterfi- nals last year when the Spaniard retired in the third set because of a knee problem that put him off the tour until March. Nadal returned to the tour in March and went on to win the French, Wimbledon and U.S. Open titles. When he arrived in Melbourne, he was aiming to be the first player since 'Rod Laver in 1969 to hold all four men's majors at once. Now, Murray is hop- ing to be the first British man since 1936 to win a major. Clijsters has three Grand Slam titles but is seek- ing her first outside the United States. Li already has broken new ground by becoming the first Chinese to reach a Grand Slam sin- gles final. Li saved a match points against Wozniacki and rallied from from a set and a break down. Victory would put her in the top five in the rankings, and possibly have great repercussions at home. The official Xinhua News Agency says a Grand Slam win by Li would "inspire a rush of new tennis players in China."

Phil Mickelson shot 32 on the back nine for a 5- under 67 to match the best score on the tougher South Course, which hosted the 2008 U.S. Open that Woods won in a playoff. Also at 67 on the South was John Daly, whose last win came in 2004 at this tournament. He is the last player to win at Torrey Pines when Woods was in the field. "This place means a lot to me," Daly said. "The top golfers play here every year. That says something." Woods no longer is No. 1 - he has slipped to No. 3 in the world ranking and can't improve on that this. week - but he has not played, the public course he has practi- cally owned since that U.S. Open in 2008. He" missed the next year because of knee surgery, and last year while in a Mississippi addic- tion clinic after being caught in extramarital affairs. "Welcome back to Torrey," was a .popular phrase from the gallery throughout his round, in which Woods played solidly except on the greens. He made only two putts longer than 3 feet a 10-foot par save on No. 8, and a 25- foot birdie putt on the par-3 sixth that bounced along until catching the right cor- ner of the cup. "I didn't leave myself any putts," Woods said. "I kept leaving myself above the hole. And I didn't take advantage of the par 5s." The North Course is not the pushover it has been in past .years because of some new length, and not just in distance. Along with being some 90 yards longer, the rough was allowed to grow and is thicker than the grass found on the South Course. "I didn't know the North was as long as the South," Ben Curtis said after a 70. He knows better, but it felt that way if tee shots did not stay in the narrow, canted fairways. Woods was in shorter grass on half of his 14 tee shots, although four of those misses came on the par 5s. He couldn't get to the green in two, and didn't make the birdie putts. Even so, he looked more like the Woods who ended last year with a playoff loss at the Cnevron World Challenge, not the guy who played so poorly for so much of the year that he didn't win on the PGA Tour for the first time in his career. It felt like a typical season- opener for Woods, including his position on the leader- board. In his last four trips to this PGA Tour-event, he has trailed by seven, six, five and two shots after the opening round and went on to win them all. Even so, scoring on the North was lower, and Woods will need to pick up the pace on the South Course. He is playing the first two days with Anthony Kim and Rocco Mediate, whom Woods defeated in that epic U.S. Open, playoff at Torrey Pines. Mediate was chattering away, as usual, but there wasn't much conversation about that 19-hole playoff from 2008. 'We didn't play that golf course," Woods said. FISHER: Couldn't be reached by AP Continued From Page 1E held to discuss the Titans' first coaching change since the franchise relocated to Tennessee from Houston in 1997. A team spokesman did not immediately respond to messages from The Associated Press. Fisher did not answer a message left on his cell, and his agent also did not respond to mes- sages from the AP. The move caught most of the NFL by surprise. Though Fisher had been derided locally as "Coach .500" or "Coacho Ocho," he seemingly had just sur- vived a battle with quarter- back Vince Young. Adams decided to either release Young or trade him on Jan. 5.The owner announced two days later that he would be keeping Fisher, leaving the coach to head into the 2011 season needing a play- off berth. But Fisher didn't help himself when he fired his defensive coordinator Chuck Cecil a week ago after giving him a contract for the 2011 season. Fisher has coached more NFL games for one fran- chise than all but six Hall of Famers: George Halas, Tom Landry, Don Shula, Chuck Noll, Curly Lambeau and Bud Grant. Fisher ranks third among active coaches in career wins with a record of 147-126, behind only Bill Belichick (176) and Mike Shanahan (160), and he is 20th all-time in coaching victories. Adams promoted Fisher from defensive coordinator to interim coach with six games left in the 1994 sea- son after firing Jack Pardee. Adams removed the interim tag after that season and . has stayed with Fisher loh- ger than any other coach with the franchise the bil- lionaire founded. Fisher oversaw the team's relocation from Houston in which the Oilers played in four different stadiums between 1996 and 1999 before moving into their current home. Since 1999, Tennessee ranks seventh in the NFL in winning percentage with a 110-82 record. The Titans also are tied for fourth with six playoff seasons since 1999, though a sec- ond straight miss this past season will drop the team down that list. /'/ ^>/ OIL- EVERY SUNDAY!

BEETLE BAILEY HAGARTHE HORRIBLE SNUFFY SMITH ZITS GARFIELD FRANK & ERNEST DEAR ABBY End of longtime friendship causes overwhelming pain DEAR ABBY: How do I cope with the ending of a very long friendship? I saw warn- ing signs for a couple of years, and tried many times to talk to my best friend about what seemed to be happening. Her values and priorities ard mov- ing in other directions now. I no longer feel appreciated as her friend. My heart is breaking. We have been friends for half our lives. This is more devastat- ing than any divorce, death or hurricane I have ever experi- enced. She is how I have got- ten through my life this far. There are support groups out there for everything un- der the sun, exceptforlosing a best friend due to indifference and lack of caring. Please ad- vise me. -THROWN AWAY IN PASADENA, TEXAS DEAR THROWN AWAY: I know you are hurting, and I am sorry. But friendships are not just made up of help- ing each other through the hard times; there is also a component of celebrating the good ones. While she may have been your leaning post, you need to examine what you were to her. If the load became too much to carry, it's understandable that she would need to back off. While there are no sup- port groups for people in your situation, there are coun- selors who can help you sort through your feelings and Abigail Van Buren www.dearobby.com because this experience has been devastating, you should talk with one. DEAR ABBY: I'm a 16- year-old girl from a religious home. When I was 7, my fa- ther got very drunk and mo- lested me. It had a terrible impact on me. He has apologized for what happened and knows I hate him for it and can't for- give him. It hasn't happened since, and I know he's telling the truth. I feel the next step in my healing is to confide in my friends and ask them to pray for me. But if I do, I know they won't look at me the same. I'm afraid they'll get their parents to intervene and something will happen to Dad. That's the last thing I want. Should I tell? -NEEDS SUPPORT IN PHILLY DEAR NEEDS SUP- PORT: You appear to be an idealistic, intelligent young woman. But it's important you understand that apologizing for committing a crime against someone is not enough. The person must also be willing to accept the consequences of his actions. Drop by an el- ementary school and look at the 7-year-olds on the* play- ground. That's how small and vulnerable you were when your father molested you. Ask yourself: Did he quit; drinking and get help for his alcohol problem? Did he talk to his minister and confess: what he did? Did he seek professional help of any kind?'. Are there little girls in your, extended family? 5 You are exhibiting two: classic signs of an abuse, victim. One is thinking that: people will regard you differ- ently if you disclose that you,; were victimized. Another is the impulse to "protect" your abuser. I'm all for the power of prayer, but rather than tell your girlfriends, is your moth- er aware of what happened? If she is unavailable to you, then:, you should talk to your min- ister or a trusted counselor! at school. If you're afraid this will "betray" your father, call', the Rape, Abuse and Incest, National. Network (RAINN), toll-free at (800) 656-4673.
