Heels stomp Cougars

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. â€" Pigs did not fly and hell didn't freeze over. North Carolina flexed its considerable muscle, and an outmanned and outgunned College of Charleston team succumbed, 108-70, to the third-ranked Tar Heels on Wednesday night in front of a crowd of 20,543 at the Dean E. Smith Center. "I knew this was going to be a tough game," said Charleston coach Bobby Cremins. "They're a great team, tough to defend, very physical. I'm disappointed we didn't compete better."

One Game, One Trophy

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. â€" Bob Stoops posed next to the crystal football and played along with a wave of photographers. They asked him to look to the left, he did. They asked him to smile, he did. Any shot they wanted Wednesday inside a hotel ballroom, he gave them. Then a shutterbug shouted to the Oklahoma coach, telling him to hold up his finger, showing who's No. 1. Stoops tilted his head, stared at the guy and kept his hands still.

USC's Cook opts for draft

COLUMBIA â€" Despite pleading this week from his family, South Carolina junior tight end Jared Cook is expected to enter the NFL draft, sources close to the situation confirmed Wednesday. Additionally, a source said safety Darian Stewart confirmed that he would return for his senior season. In the past day or so, both players have made their decisions known to the coaching staff.

Thrills, chills in Chapel Hill

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. â€" Goliath wasn't coming off a loss to Boston College. Unfortunately for the College of Charleston, the North Carolina Tar Heels sure didn't play like a last-place Atlantic Coast Conference team. More like the guys favored to romp their way to the 2009 NCAA title. Otherwise, the Cougars' 108-70 loss Wednesday night at the Dean E. Smith Center was one big harmonious contradiction.

Carney triumphs by two strokes

ISLE OF PALMS â€" John Carney, the head pro at Pine Valley Country Club in Wilmington, N.C., followed his opening-round 64 with a 68 Wednesday and earned a two-shot victory over Bob Boyd in the Wild Dunes E-Z-Go Pro-Am.

Maersk question unresolved

Nearly three weeks after Maersk Line announced its intentions to depart from the Port of Charleston and the scramble to save its business began, the situation remains static, worrying one state lawmaker. "The longer this thing drags out, the harder it will be to have Maersk reverse their decision," said Sen. Larry Grooms, R-Bonneau, who has led discussion among port leaders, union officials and company representatives.

Home advisers offer help

Resources for homeowners who struggle to pay their monthly mortgages are usually scattered across the Charleston region, from nonprofit offices to law firms. But for one day this weekend, help will convene under one roof. On Saturday, legal representatives, financial advisers and nonprofit officials will gather at First Federal Corporate Center in North Charleston to give free counsel to financially strained homeowners.

Analysts: Chrysler not likely to survive the year despite aid

DETROIT â€" Even by the standards of battered automakers, Chrysler is in dire shape. Its sales in December were down a stunning 53 percent, far worse than Ford or General Motors, and analysts say it probably won't survive the year as an independent company â€" despite $4 billion in government loans and the possibility of more. Things were so bad last year that a single Toyota model, the Camry Solara midsize car, outsold the entire fleet of Chrysler LLC's passenger cars.

Local hospice center sold to Tenn. firm

A private operator of senior health care centers has added five South Carolina hospices to its portfolio, including one in Charleston, bringing its statewide total of locations for the terminally ill to six. Murfreesboro, Tenn.-based National HealthCare Corp. said in a statement Wednesday that the deal closed Jan. 1. The seller was Advantage Hospice and Home Care of Lumberton, N.C. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Employers get good look at immigration law

WEST COLUMBIA â€" South Carolina employers who attended a Wednesday training session on the state's new law to stem illegal immigration said complying should be painless. About 50 people attended the seminar sponsored by the state Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation. The meeting in West Columbia was among more than a dozen to be held across the state to educate employers.

    My Father Was No Militant, But Israel's Bombs Reduced Him to a 'Pile of Flesh'  

    My Father Was No Militant, But Israel's Bombs Reduced Him to a 'Pile of Flesh'

    The new year started with the bloodiest military assault on Gaza in decades. Some 700 Palestinians have been killed, among them 43 innocent civilians who died after Israel bombed a United Nations school being used as a shelter. That happened yesterday; even as the developments in Gaza move too fast to keep up, the cumulative story remains the same: death, destruction, an appalling humanitarian crisis -- despite claims to the contrary -- and no end in sight.

    Below are only some of the stories on the horrific events unfolding in Gaza. For more coverage, including the voices of victims' family members and journalists on the ground (despite Israel's ban on foreign reporters), visit AlterNet's Rights & Liberties section.

    ***

    In the early morning hours of New Year's Day, 22-year-old Oscar Grant was shot in the back by Bay Area Rapid Transit police in Oakland, CA. Grant was on the ground alongside other young men of color who had been pulled off a train after an alleged scuffle. Video footage shot by a witness -- who refused to hand over her camera to police as they confiscated others' phones and cameras -- show Grant subdued, lying on his stomach on the train platform before he was shot. He died soon thereafter, leaving behind a 4-year old daughter.

    If this story outrages you, go here to find out what you can do.

    Happy New Year -- and thanks for reading.

    The credit crisis...how can you protect yourself? That story tonight on The CBS Evening News with Katie Couric

    (CBS) QUOTE OF THE DAY
    ”People wouldn’t spend so much time wondering what other people think of them if they only realized how seldom they do.”
    -Unknown


    DID YOU KNOW?
    Victor Hugo's Les Miserables contains one of the longest sentences in the French language - 823 words without a period.



    TONIGHT ON THE CBS EVENING NEWS

    Here's an early look at what we are working on for tonight's broadcast of The CBS Evening News from Anchor and Managing Editor, Katie Couric

    Hi everyone,

    We'll begin our broadcast tonight with the latest on the crisis in Gaza. Israel momentarily halted its attacks today to allow in supplies of food and medicine. But neither side is agreeing to a diplomatic plan proposed by France and Egypt. Israel claimed the plan would not guarantee an end to Hamas rocket attacks, and Hamas objected to the continued closure of its border with Egypt. Mark Phillips has the latest on the attacks there - and our Richard Roth reports from Israeli border towns that are still being hit by Hamas rocket fire.

    Call it the ultimate power lunch. All five living presidents, present, past and future, met today for lunch in Washington. We’ll talk with Bob Schieffer about the extraordinary meeting.

    Next: The credit crisis. The number of late loan payments is higher than ever, since records began being kept in 1980. What's going on? Anthony Mason has the story.

    From severe flooding in Georgia to torrential rains in Washington to in Michigan … 42 of our 50 states are covered by severe weather. Dean Reynolds explains what's behind this blast of extreme storms.

    Finally tonight, I’ll take you behind the scenes of Brad Pitt's remarkable transformation in "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button."

    See you tonight, Katie
