Carl Pettersson rebounded from missed cuts in his last two PGA Tour starts by charging into an early tie for the lead in Thursday's weather-hit opening round of the Houston Open in Humble, Texas.

The 34-year-old Swede, putting superbly on the slick greens at Redstone Golf Club, birdied five of his first eight holes on the way to a seven-under-par 65 in the final tune-up event before next week's Masters.

Pettersson, a four-times champion on the U.S. circuit, briefly got to eight under but bogeyed the par-four 17th before finishing level with long-hitting Angel Cabrera of Argentina.

Americans Ricky Barnes and Jeff Maggert were a further stroke back after opening with matching 66s before play was suspended at 2:27 p.m. ET (1827 GMT) due to the threat of lightning in the area.

More than an inch of rain saturated the course during the afternoon and organizers later abandoned play for the day with only 51 players having completed the opening round.

Scientists have used Ebola disease spread patterns and airline traffic data to predict a 75 percent chance the virus could be imported to France by October 24, and a 50 percent chance it could hit Britain by that date.

Those numbers are based on air traffic remaining at full capacity. Assuming an 80 percent reduction in travel to reflect that many airlines are halting flights to affected regions, France's risk is still 25 percent, and Britain's is 15 percent.

"It's really a lottery," said Derek Gatherer of Britain's Lancaster University, an expert in viruses who has been tracking the epidemic - the worst Ebola outbreak in history.

The deadly epidemic has killed more than 3,400 people since it began in West Africa in March and has now started to spread faster, infecting almost 7,200 people so far. Nigeria, Senegal and now the United States - where the first case was diagnosed on Tuesday in a man who flew in from Liberia - have all seen people carrying the Ebola hemorrhagic fever virus, apparently unwittingly, arrive on their shores.

France is among countries most likely to be hit next because the worst affected countries include Guinea, alongside Sierra Leone and Liberia, which is a French-speaking country and has busy travel links back, while Britain's Heathrow airport is one of the world's biggest travel hubs.

GREENSBORO, N.C., April 22, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NewBridge Bancorp (Nasdaq:NBBC) today reported a sharp increase in earnings for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 over the quarter ended March 31, 2012. Net income available to common shareholders totaled $4.0 million, compared to $781,000 reported in the first quarter of 2012. Earnings per diluted common share were $0.13, an increase of 160% over the same quarter last year.

"Our first quarter results are highlighted by substantially improved earnings, significantly enhanced asset quality, core organic loan growth and a stronger capital position," said Pressley A. Ridgill, President and Chief Executive Officer of NewBridge. "Each of these accomplishments was achieved due to critical strategic events in 2012. We concluded our asset disposition plan, which resulted in a $106 million reduction of adversely classified assets in 2012 and the reduction of our classified asset percentage from 77.6% at December 31, 2011 to 30.5% at year end. The percentage at March 31, 2013 continued to decline to 26.6%. The successful execution of this plan means that our core earnings are no longer burdened with high chargeoffs and other credit related costs. We also achieved the closing of a private offering of $56 million in new preferred equity, which was converted to common equity in February 2013. This enhanced capital provides us the necessary strength to pursue other strategic options. Finally, with the reduction of the classified asset burden and our added capital strength, we intensified our focus on solid, quality loan growth. We invested in experienced commercial banking teams in Charlotte and Raleigh, the two largest banking markets in North Carolina. We also expanded lending activities within our legacy branch footprint. In the first quarter, loans held for investment increased $14.5 million, an annualized loan growth rate of 5%. Core retained loans increased $72 million over the last twelve months. A large portion of this growth came from our Charlotte and Raleigh market teams."
