NEWS BRIEFING

UK prime minister vows no return to hard border with Ireland British Prime Minister Theresa May told business leaders in Northern Ireland on Tuesday that she is seeking changes to the U.K.’s withdrawal agreement with the European Union, but not the total removal of the Irish border provision that is the most contentious part of the deal.

Seeking to ease fears about the return of customs posts and vehicle checks, May said during a visit to Belfast that the British government is committed to preventing the construction of a physical border between EU member Ireland and the U.K.’s Northern Ireland after Britain leaves the European Union.

GOP lawmakers want civil rights panel appointment withdrawn North Carolina Republican lawmakers want Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper to withdraw his recent appointee to a state civil rights panel because of a past social media post comparing law enforcement officers to terrorists.

Senate leader Phil Berger says all 29 GOP senators wrote Cooper on Tuesday asking him to take back last month’s appointment of Charlotte city councilwoman LaWana Mayfield to the state Human Relations Commission.

They cited her tweet last March, when she wrote being black in the U.S. under President Donald Trump “has created homegrown terrorist (sic) wearing blue uniforms.” She refused to step back from the comment when critics called for her council resignation.

Approximately 30 taken into custody in ICE raid Authorities say approximately 30 people have been taken into custody after a raid by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents at a Lee County manufacturing plant. A statement from the Lee County Sheriff’s Office on Tuesday said the raid on the plant in Sanford was the result of an ongoing investigation into identity theft and fraud. The statement said the sheriff’s office assisted ICE agents at the request of federal officials.

The statement didn’t identify the plant, adding that it is unclear if the plant is at fault. The sheriff’s office said the raid was not a random operation.

STATE ELEVATE THE CONVERSATION

From abortion to blackface, Va. governor engulfed in controversy

By Bill Barrow The Associated Press RICHMOND, Va. — Last Wednesday, Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam was blasted for controversial abortion comments he made during a radio interview. Two days later, news outlets reported that a racist photo appears on Northam’s 1984 medical school yearbook page.

On Tuesday, he clung to office even as Democrats had been denouncing him for days.

One of the busiest days on the Virginia legislature’s calendar began under a cloud of suspense Tuesday as Gov. Ralph Northam weighed whether he can continue in the job amid the fallout over these twin controversies.

With tension running high, lawmakers began arriving for crossover day — when the House and Senate must finish bills to send to the other chamber — after days of turmoil set off by the photo, which depicts someone in blackface standing next to another person in a Ku Klux Klan hood and robe.

Amid a barrage of calls for his resignation from his own party, the 59-year-old Democratic governor gave no public indication of which way he was leaning as he met privately with top advisers.

In another sign of the difficulty he faces in carrying out his duties, a statement from Northam offering condolences on the death of a state trooper in a shootout prompted a fresh flurry Tuesday of Twitter comments urging him to step down.

The uncertainty comes at a time when Northam’s office is in the middle of negotiations with the Republican-controlled legislature over a major tax overhaul and changes to the state budget.

Nearly all of the state’s Democratic establishment has turned against Northam, as have many of the party’s national figures, but no one from his cabinet has resigned.

The political crisis deepened when the man next in line to be governor, Democratic Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax, was confronted with an uncorroborated allegation of sexual misconduct first reported by a conservative website but investigated by the Washington Post. Fairfax denied the allegation Monday and called it a political smear, telling reporters the 2004 encounter with a woman was consensual.

The woman has retained Washington law firm Katz Marshall & Banks and is consulting with it about her next steps, said a person close to the legal team who was not authorized to discuss the matter and spoke on condition of anonymity.

One of the firm’s founding partners, Debra Katz, represented Christine Blasey Ford, who accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her decades ago when they were teenagers.

Kavanaugh denied the allegation and later was confirmed to the court.

By David Larson North State Journal RALEIGH — North Carolina House and Senate members returned on Jan. 30 to begin filing bills amidst a changed partisan landscape. Despite Republican majorities in both chambers, Democrats have greatly increased their share of seats, breaking GOP supermajorities, and also have an ally in the governor’s mansion with a newly-effective veto.

As the first week of business came to a close, 13 bills had been filed in the House and 17 in the Senate. It was Democrats who made more aggressive moves to pursue their policy aims during

this first week, filing major bills, including one that would expand Medicaid and another that would repeal a 2015 monuments law that prevents cities and universities from moving statues like Silent Sam on UNC Chapel Hill’s campus without state approval.

The Medicaid expansion, which was filed as H.B. 5 in the House and S.B. 3 in the Senate, would widen the eligibility for Medicaid to those aged 19 to 65 who are at 133 percent of the federal poverty level as long as they are not also eligible for certain other Medicaid or Medicare benefits.

Democrats from both chambers gathered for a press conference announcing this bill as a top priority for them during the 2019-20 session.

Cooper delays vote on DMV move Many have opposed the planned relocation of the Department of Motor Vehicles’ headquarters from Raleigh to Rocky Mount

By A.P. Dillon For the North State Journal RALEIGH — The night before the monthly meeting of the North Carolina Council of State, Gov. Roy Cooper postponed a vote on the proposed move of the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) from Raleigh to Rocky Mount.

“The Governor’s Office has heard concerns from employees and requested the item be taken off the Council of State agenda to give more time to discuss its impact,” Cooper’s press secretary, Ford Porter, said in a statement Monday night.

The proposed move of the DMV from its Wake County location to Rocky Mount will impact around 600 workers.

According to bids received from eight entities by the state’s Department of Transportation, the Rocky Mount location is the cheapest.

The average rent over a 15-year pe-

riod would be of $2,053,635 per year for 139,181 square feet of office and warehouse space.

Emerging from the shadows, Sir Walter Wally, one of North Carolina’s weather prognositicating groundhogs, predicted six more weeks of winter after seeing his shadow on Saturday in a Groundhog Day ceremony at the N.C. Museum of Natural Sciences in downtown Raleigh.

Groundhogs send mixed signals on arrival of spring NSJ Staff PUNXSUTAWNEY, Pa. and RALEIGH — It may be hard to believe as a large swath of the U.S. thaws out from a bitter polar vortex, but spring is coming early, according to handlers for some of the country’s most famous prognosticating groundhogs.

Just before 7:30 a.m. Satur-

day, Punxsutawney Phil emerged from his burrow in Pennsylvania at sunrise and didn’t see his shadow. Nearly the same series of events unfolded about 300 miles to the east, where Staten Island Chuck’s handlers also revealed the same prediction.

The festivities have their origin in a German legend that says if a furry rodent casts a shadow on Feb.

2, winter continues. If not, spring comes early.

In reality, Phil’s prediction is decided ahead of time by the group on Gobbler’s Knob, a tiny hill just outside Punxsutawney. That’s about 65 miles (105 kilometers) northeast of Pittsburgh.

In Raleigh, Sir Walter Wally, Raleigh’s official groundhog, saw his shadow, predicting that the city

will have six more weeks of winter.

According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Punxsutawney Phil’s prediction was wrong last year, and he has been wrong about 40 percent of the time. Wally has been correct in his prediction more than 50 percent of the time, according to the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences.

NCGA from page A1 “Now is the time to expand Medicaid in North Carolina and to close the coverage gap,” said Senate Minority Leader Dan Blue (D-Wake) during the press conference. “This is the most important bill we can pass on behalf of our constituents this session.”

Republicans in some other states have agreed to expand Medicaid because there is a federal grant that helps fund it, but North Carolina Republicans argue it would make the large state-managed system more difficult to predict, fund and run. In addition, the absence of a work requirement leaves room for abuse, according to many conservative policy analysts.

“As Sen. (Phil) Berger has said before, he has a hard time reconciling the idea of Medicaid expansion with the fiscal realities of adopting a budget,” Bill D’Elia, a spokesperson for the Senate leader, told North State Journal.

The Democrats other major proposal, to eliminate the 2015 monuments law, was introduced

DMV from page A1 fixed over time and others were included in $625,000 worth of work done in 2011.

Employees of the DMV, as well as the State Employees Association of North Carolina, Wake County lawmakers and officials, are unhappy about the move.

Raleigh Mayor Nancy McFarlane also opposes the move, citing the long commute for employees and potential job losses.

Sen. Dan Blue (D-Wake) tweeted out a link to a petition opposing the move. Other lawmakers sent a letter to the Council of State opposing the move.

House Speaker Tim Moore (R-Cleveland) expressed support last week for the move, saying the decision would share the benefits of state offices with rural areas.

While the DMV move was removed from the agenda, during the meeting Lt. Gov. Dan Forest noted the move was “starting to get political” and that the Council of State needed more information. Forest then asked Cooper for a brief update on the situation.

Cooper said that “time was not of the essence” with the DMV situation, and that the item would be voted on at the next Council of State meeting in March.

“Will this body have the base of knowledge needed to make that decision?” Forest asked Cooper.

“It’s all about people. Are you impacting people here?

Are you impacting people there? There’s going to be a tough decision made.”

Lt. Gov. Dan Forest

“You need to reach out yourself and do some research,” Cooper responded to Forest. “I think that is what the assignment for this council will be.”

“The person I reached out to was not knowledgable,” said Secretary of State Beth Woods.

Cooper replied that he would have Transportation Secretary Jim Trogdon reach out to Woods and to the other members of the Council of State.

After the meeting concluded, North State Journal asked Forest why the DMV vote was postponed.

“I think it was postponed probably for the same reasons it’s been postponed for the last three months,” “said Forest. “There’s just a lack of a decision.

“I think the problem is the process here or really maybe a lack of

in the House as H.B. 10 and quickly accumulated 18 co-sponsors, all Democrats. The bill is a straight-forward repeal of the 2015 law and purports to return the state to the previous status quo on the issue, when local authorities did not need to gain approval from the N.C. Historical Commission to move monuments.

When asked on the floor about the need to revisit this law, Berger (R-Rockingham) said he did not believe any changes were

a process,” Forest continued. “So, it’s become a political football. The football gets even bigger the more you punt it down the field and don’t make a decision.”

Forest reiterated the need for more information from Cooper’s administration about the move in order for the council to move forward with a decision.

“I think it’s incumbent upon the governor and his team to put forth a very transparent process here, not just for the Council of State but for the people of North Carolina,” said Forest, “and for the employees of the DMV that are existing employees and for the people in Rocky Mount who are hopeful to get the facility in Rocky Mount.”

Forest said that what the Council of State wants is transparency.

“We want to look at all the facts because we realize we’re going to have to make a hard decision one way or the other,” said Forest. “It’s all about people. Are you impacting people here? Are you impacting people there? There’s going to be a tough decision made.

“You want to make that decision with the most facts in front of you and this is a difficult place to do it because the Council of State, generally, as I said earlier, votes are ‘thumbs up’ or ‘thumbs down’ without a whole lot of backup information. You have to trust staff.

You have to trust the process,” Forest said.

necessary at this time, signaling likely opposition to H.B. 10 by Republicans.

Rep. Pricey Harrison (D-Guilford), the lead primary sponsor of the bill, told North State Journal she believes that in the aftermath of Charlottesville, Va., where clashes over a Confederate monument lead to violence and even one death, that this bill likely would not have been passed, and now that there’s tension around the issue, the law should be revisited.

NORTHAM from page A1 fax accusation because AP has not been able to corroborate it.

Northam, a pediatric neurologist who graduated from Eastern Virginia Medical School and came to politics late in life, is one year into his four-year term.

If Northam resigns, Fairfax will become the second black governor in Virginia history.

The furor over the photo erupted Friday, when Northam first admitted he was in the picture without saying which costume he was wearing, and apologized. But a day later, he denied he was in the photo, while also acknowledging he once used shoe polish to blacken his face and look like Michael Jackson at a dance contest in Texas decades ago.

As for the allegations against the lieutenant governor, The Washington Post said Monday that it was approached by the woman in 2017 and carefully investigated but never published a story for lack of any independent evidence.

The Post said the woman had not told anyone about it, the account could not be corroborated, Fairfax denied it, and the Post was unable to find other similar allegations against him among people who knew him in college, law school or in politics.

“I know a lot of North Carolinians see these monuments as reflecting heritage or historical value, and I’m not demonizing them, but we also have to realize that to many others in our state, these monuments represent something deeply offensive, something we need to move beyond,” she told NSJ. “If local governments decide it’s best to remove them, there shouldn’t be obstacles put in their way.”

Harrison says she hopes her bill can gain some bipartisan support, but after the comments from Republican leaders she is “not optimistic” it can be passed without a fight.

The main duty of the legislature during a long session, which occurs on odd-numbered years, is to write a biennial budget. After this process is done, as well as any other legislation they wish to address, both chambers will agree to adjourn until the next summer for the “short session.”

Legislators typically aim to finish up business by early July before the Independence Day holiday, but they often miss this goal and may even continue session into the fall.

The woman did not immediately respond to a voicemail, text message or email from an AP reporter.

The allegations were first reported by Big League Politics, the news outlet that first published the yearbook image.

The controversy surrounding Northam spurred the first major test for how Democratic presidential hopefuls will address racial tensions that have polarized American life.

Nearly every major declared and potential Democratic candidate called for Northam’s resignation after disclosure of the photo, which shows one person in blackface and another hooded in white Klan regalia.

Their reactions came before Northam, 59, who is white, said during a news conference Saturday that he was not in the photo on his page of the 1984 yearbook. He acknowledged using blackface when he dressed as pop icon Michael Jackson for a dance contest, also in 1984.

That leaves Democrats running for president, or considering bids, to navigate an explosive and embarrassing story as they mount campaigns to unseat President Donald Trump in 2020.

Democratic contenders hoping to run on soaking the rich

By Nicholas Riccardi and Elana Schor The Associated Press WASHINGTON, D.C. — The last Democrat to win a presidential election, Barack Obama, ran in 2012 on a platform of raising taxes for top earners to nearly 40 percent. Now a new crop of Democratic presidential hopefuls is signaling that they want to go even further.

Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren is floating a 2 percent tax on all assets of people with a net worth of more than $50 million — a moon-shot plan that could face legal challenges for hitting investments, homes and cars, not just income. Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders is pitching a steeply higher inheritance tax on large estates.

Others targeting higher income earners include California Sen. Kamala Harris, who has proposed rolling back the recent GOP tax cuts for wealthier families to pay for tax rebates for middle- and lower-income earners.

The eruption of high-end tax proposals is a shift for Democrats, who have traditionally not centered their presidential bids around tax hikes — particularly at this early stage of a campaign. It underscores the party’s march to the left and candidates’ desire to tap into the Wall Street-rattling energy of liberal voters.

“If you’re looking for a bumper sticker, ‘tax rich people’ is a pretty good bumper sticker,” said Howard Glickman of the centrist Tax Policy Center.

Beyond its messaging power, taxing the wealthy also gives Democratic contenders a way to propose paying for their sweeping progressive agendas.

Sanders put it simply last week: “We need additional revenue if we’re going to provide health care for all, rebuild our infrastructure, make public colleges and universities tuition-free.”

The rush to tax the rich has prompted criticism from others eyeing the White House — namely billionaires Michael Bloomberg, a former Republican who is considering running as a Democrat, and former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz, who is mulling an independent run for president.

“The billionaires are writing the rules around here. And guess what: all those rules favor the billionaires,” Warren said in an interview.

Conservative campus group Turning Point USA responded to Democrat attacks on wealth and calls for higher taxes on Monday. “If we confiscated 100% of the wealth of every billionaire in America, we’d have enough money to run the federal government for less than 8 months,” said the group in a Facebook post. “Our problem isn’t how much billionaires have … it’s how much politicians spend.”

In this Monday, Jan. 21, 2019, file photo, Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., speaks to members of the media at her alma mater, Howard University, in Washington, following her announcement earlier in the morning that she will run for president. Some Democratic presidential hopefuls are enthusiastically embracing plans to raise taxes on the richest Americans. Harris has proposed rolling back the recent GOP tax cuts for wealthier families to pay for tax rebates for middle- and lower-income earners.

“We need additional revenue if we’re going to provide health care for all, rebuild our infrastructure, make public colleges and universities tuition-free.”

Bernie Sanders (D-Vermont) the Democratic tax proposals as damaging to an economy that has steadily grown since President Donald Trump took office.

Texas Sen. John Cornyn, a senior GOP member of the tax-writing Finance Committee, described Warren and Sanders’ tax plans as playing off “the politics of personal envy.” He predicted economic blowback from reversing the current tax laws muscled through by Republicans in 2017.

While many Democrats have previously backed higher taxes for the wealthiest Americans, they’ve rarely made the issue such an early focal point of their campaigns.

Obama shied away from tax increases during his first run for office, as did almost every Democratic nominee since Walter Mondale in 1984 pledged to raise voters’ taxes and lost to President Ronald Reagan in an historic landslide.

But polls now show that voters might be willing to see higher taxes, to a point. In April 2018, Gallup found that about 6 in 10 Americans thought the wealthy didn’t pay their fair share of taxes. A Fox News poll last week found 7 in 10 Americans supported raising taxes on people making more than $10 million a year and 65 percent on those making more than $1 million. But support plunges when family income

drops, with only 44 percent backing higher taxes on those making more than $250,000.

“It’s clear that the people they’re targeting are the very, very, very well-off,” said Alan Viard of the conservative American Enterprise Institute.

But Viard and other critics warn that the higher Democrats go, the less revenue they may actually get. That’s because taxpayers can shift assets and find loopholes to avoid new levies. And Warren’s proposal, because it taxes more than income, may not comply with the Constitution, which was amended to allow the federal government to tax income, not wealth.

Glickman said that Warren’s tax may be the most politically viable because it targets such wealthy individuals. But it may be the toughest to implement. Several European countries have recently eliminated wealth taxes because they are so hard to administer, and the value of the mega-rich’s holdings so hard to pin down, Glickman said.

Economists advising Warren’s campaign project it will raise $2.75 trillion over 10 years, but Glickman was skeptical.

“When that much money is at stake, rich guys are going to go out and hire really smart tax lawyers,” he said.

While Warren has enthusiastically embraced her tax plan’s impact on the wealthy, Harris’ early messaging has focused more on boosting middle-income earners with a $500-a-month refundable tax credit to households earning less than $100,000 a year.

Harris would pay for this partly by eliminating the Trump tax cuts for households earning more than $100,000. That could be politically risky because this group, while comfortable, is largely not the mega-rich.

Ginsburg makes 1st public appearance since cancer surgery

By Mark Sherman The Associated Press WASHINGTON, D.C. — Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is making her first public appearance since undergoing lung cancer surgery in December.

The 85-year-old Ginsburg is attending a concert at a museum a few blocks from the White House that is being given by her daughter-in-law and other musicians. Patrice Michaels is married to Ginsburg’s son, James.

Michaels is a soprano and composer.

The concert is dedicated to Ginsburg’s life in the law.

Ginsburg had surgery in New York on Dec. 21. She missed arguments at the court in January, her first illness-related absence in more than 25 years as a justice.

She has been recuperating at

her home in Washington, D.C., since late December.

Ginsburg had two previous bouts with cancer. She had colorectal cancer in 1999 and pancreatic cancer in 2009.

The justice sat in the back of the darkened auditorium at the National Museum of Women in the Arts.

The National Constitution Center, which sponsored the concert, did not permit photography.

James Ginsburg said before the concert that his mother is walking a mile a day and meeting with her personal trainer twice a week.

The performance concluded with a song set to Ginsburg’s answers to questions.

In introducing the last song, Michaels said, “bring our show to a close, but not the epic and notorious story of RBG.”

According to a release by Forest’s campaign, Weatherman will direct the exploratory committee’s statewide rollout and will oversee the day-to-day operations of the campaign. Weatherman will ultimately become Forest’s campaign manager once he formally announces for the office.

Weatherman resigned from his role as chief of staff of the office of lieutenant governor, a position he has held since Forest was first elected in 2012. He managed Forest’s two previous campaigns for lieutenant governor and is the former longtime chief of staff for Forest’s mother, former U.S. Rep. Sue Myrick.

Walker retains general counsel duties as well. Jamey Falkenbury will serve as director of innovations and communications, Danielle Jordan will serve as director of operations and constituent services, and Blake Brewer will serve as policy adviser.

Forest announced the exploratory committee last week and released a brief video in which he talks about building a better North Carolina.

Prior to serving as North Carolina’s first two-term Republican lieutenant governor, Forest was an architect and served as senior partner at Little Diversified Architectural Consulting, one of North Carolina’s largest firms.

Randolph County The North Carolina Supreme Court last week chose to let stand without comment a ruling that 50-year-old Darren Gentle must submit to GPS monitoring after his release from prison. Gentle was convicted for the violent raping a 25-year-old woman in 2016. While the court didn’t change that decision, it’s still expected to rule on another case about whether tracking offenders via GPS is a constitutional violation.

Durham County Counselors at Duke’s Camp Kaleidoscope, a camp for chronically ill children, left children unattended, according to a lawsuit filed by guardians of the campers. While the children were left alone, a camper allegedly coerced other children into sex acts. The sleepaway summer camp for children with chronic medical conditions operated for close to 40 years. Duke denies any negligence by the counselors.

Missing infant hoax leads to arrest Scotland County A massive search for a missing newborn and mother was called off after the report was judged to be a hoax. The Scotland County Sheriff’s Office received a missing person report last Thursday, triggering a multiagency search. Officials were in the process of getting an Amber Alert but couldn’t confirm the identity of the missing child. By Friday evening, they had determined that it was a hoax and arrested an unidentified person.

Authorities wouldn’t confirm that the mother or newborn even existed.

The lizard brain of a conservative

Even dead federal programs come back to life like Lazarus.

SPRINGTIME brings new sessions of Congress and the North Carolina state legislature. Budgets have to be cobbled together. Spending priorities get set for the year. Appropriations are made later to conform with budget instructions.

Liberals must go crazy trying to understand the brains of conservatives during these times.

“How can they possibly not support expanding Medicaid, spending more on public education, affordable housing and environmental protection every single year?” they must fret about while wringing their hands.

Liberals think fiscal conservatives have lizard brains. Lizards don’t have the capacity for deep rational or emotional thought. They eat, sleep, try to avoid being eaten themselves, reproduce and slither in and out of rocks all day long.

Liberals think conservatives are coldhearted, mean-spirited and simply callous to the needs of others.

When it comes to government budgets, true fiscal conservatives do think in simple terms, however it is not cruel.

It is balanced.

“Whatever is being spent in total today is enough to ask taxpayers to fund out of their pockets. If someone wants to expand a program or spend money on a new initiative, they are obligated to say what taxes they will raise or what other existing program they will cut to pay for it first.”

That is how PAYGO (Pay-As-You-Go) started in the Budget Enforcement Act passed

by Congress in 1990. PAYGO was the most successful budgeting tool ever in the history of this country until President Bush 43 and the Republicans essentially neutered it in 2003.

We had the only four balanced budgets in our lifetime from 1998-2001 as a result of BEA. Had PAYGO remained fully in force, we would not be in the fiscal maelstrom we are in today.

At the state level, lizard-brained conservatives don’t mind spending the entire annual state budget on one program, be it Medicaid, public education, public safety or transportation — the Four Horsemen of every state budget — as long as all other programs are cut and eliminated and no new higher taxes are imposed on state taxpayers.

Chief Justice Mark Martin: Profile of a courageous conservative

Whatever the total amount of government spending is today, lizard brains want to hold the line on more government spending. They prefer to eliminate programs that don’t work and spend that money on another priority.

Better yet, return those savings to the taxpayer in the form of tax cuts or refunds.

Lizard brains believe people spend their own money more wisely than government bureaucrats and elected officials can anyway.

In the view of lizard brain conservatives, all liberals want to do is to keep every existing government program fully funded and then add on more new government spending for whatever they want to spend your money on next.

At the federal level, the only program liberals ever want to cut is in defense spending. Defense and construction of roads are two federal programs explicitly mentioned in the Constitution, so lizard brains at least have the constitutional mandate argument to rely on in both cases.

If you are an elected official, here’s how to engineer universal goodwill among all voters, but especially the unaffiliated voters whom now represent 34 percent of all voters in North Carolina: • Set aside one entire year for legislative oversight and conduct a truly bipartisan effort to clear out every government program that has outlived its usefulness or is not achieving its stated goals.

To my knowledge, over the past 40 years, there has been only one federal program that was voted out of existence: The Federal Helium Reserve. It began in 1925 to provide helium for a new-fangled thing called a dirigible. It was privatized in 1996 and presumed dead only to have Congress reauthorize it in 2013.

Even dead federal programs come back to life like Lazarus.

Liberals: If you want to expand Medicaid and continue to increase spending on public education, help lizard brain conservatives find the way to pay for them first. Not after the fact.

I FIRST MET Mark Martin when I served as vice chair of the Wake County Republican Party in 1990.

We were both young. He was an attorney. I was a businessman.

A few years later, in 1992, then Republican Gov. Jim Martin appointed Mark, at age 29, to the Superior Court bench in Pitt County. Mark was elected, at age 31, to our Court of Appeals in 1994 and then, at age 35, to our Supreme Court in 1998. Mark was the youngest judge in history on each of these courts.

But there is more to his story. Our rights and liberties have been preserved because of Martin’s service as a judge for more than 26 years.

In 2015, Martin ruled in a 4-3 decision that the North Carolina school choice scholarship program did not violate the Constitution. The Wall Street Journal praised this decision in a July 2015 editorial.

In 2013, Martin ruled that the Constitution prevented the city of Lumberton from imposing oppressive taxes of businesses.

Finally, in 2009, Martin ruled that the legislature could not permanently ban a North Carolina resident from possessing a firearm based solely on a 30-yearold minor, nonviolent conviction.

As you have probably heard, Martin will now be serving as dean of Regent University Law School in Virginia.

Martin’s decision opens the door for up to three elections for North Carolina Supreme Court Justice to be held in the 2020 election. If he had stayed on the court, there would have only been one election in 2020.

Let’s take the deck that has been handed to us and elect conservatives to the N.C. Supreme Court in 2020.

Dear Mom and Dad: Cool it IF YOU ARE the mother or father of a high school athlete here in North Carolina, this message is primarily for you.

When you attend an athletic event that involves your son or daughter, cheer to your heart’s content, enjoy the camaraderie that high school sports offer and have fun.

When it comes to verbally criticizing game officials or coaches, cool it.

Make no mistake about it. Your passion is admired, and your support of the hometown team is needed. So is your self-control. Yelling, screaming and berating the officials humiliates your child, annoys those sitting around you, embarrasses your child’s school and is the major contributing reason North Carolina is experiencing shortage of high school officials today.

It’s true. According to a recent survey by the National Association of Sports Officials, more than 75 percent of all high school officials say “adult behavior” is the primary reason they quit. Eighty percent of all young officials hang up their stripes after just two years of whistleblowing. Why? They don’t need your abuse.

Plus, there’s a ripple effect. There are more officials over 60 than under 30 in many areas. As older, experienced officials retire, there aren’t enough younger ones to replace them. If there are no officials, there are no games. The shortage of licensed high school officials is severe enough in some areas of the country that athletic events are being postponed or canceled — especially at the freshman and junior varsity levels.

Research confirms that participation in high school sports and activities instills a sense of pride in school and community, teaches lifelong lessons like the value of teamwork and self-discipline, and facilitates the physical and emotional development of those who participate.

If the games go away because there aren’t enough men and women to officiate them, the loss will be infinitely greater than just an “L” on the scoreboard.

It will be putting a dent in your community’s future.

If you would like to be a part of the solution to the shortage of high school officials, you can sign up to become a licensed official at HighSchoolOfficials. com.

Common sense and global warming

Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd.

WHEN THE NEW DARLING of the left, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, charges, “The world is gonna end in 12 years if we don’t address climate change,” most Americans wonder what to think.

The following points from a fellow nonscientist might serve as guidelines providing some perspective and common sense: Terminology. As Nigel Lawson, former Energy secretary of the UK, has written, “‘Global warming’ — not the alliterative weasel words ‘climate change’ — is the question.” The climate has always, is always, and will always be changing.

The question now is more specific: Is the world getting warmer? If so, at what rate? What are the consequences? What should we do about it?

Perspective. Over the last 50 years, there has been a series of potential planetary crises put forth by scientists and public policy experts. In the late 1960s, the Club of Rome warned of the impending population explosion crisis. The forecasts indicated a halt to economic growth as the world ran out of natural resources. Then during the late 1970s and early 1980s, as temperatures began to cool, “experts” warned of a new ice age. In the last 20 years, warnings have coalesced around the latest scare — global warning.

Settled Science. In the words of Charles Krauthammer, “There is nothing more antiscientific than the very idea that science is settled, static, impervious to change.” Some experts would have us believe the science of global warming is “settled,” but there is a real debate among scientists over the degree of global warming, the causes and the consequences. A word of caution from the German philosopher Schopenhauer: “There is no opinion, however absurd, which men will not readily embrace as soon as they can be brought to the conviction that it is generally accepted.”

Economics and Science. The issue of global warming involves not just science but also economics. If there really is a problem, what do the possible solutions cost? What is the tradeoff economically and politically between the real costs and the potential benefits? French President Macron ran headlong into this recently.

Human Factor. Man has an impact on the environment, but there is a real debate over the extent to which man contributes to global

warming. The economic models to estimate the human factor are subject to a multitude of assumptions, all of which are subject to debate.

Inaccurate assumptions have huge implications for both predictions of future warming and also any policies adopted to try to reduce future warming.

Predictions. The press is full of dire predictions of what our planet will look like in 100 years — not to mention 12 years. But since scientists cannot even agree on the proper weighting of the many environmental factors affecting our current climate, the idea that experts can authoritatively project out 100 — or even 12 — years is implausible.

In 2005, Philip Tetlock published a treatise on forecasting and concluded that political, economic and geopolitical forecasts had been scarcely better than guesswork. He wrote, “It made little difference whether the forecaster was an academic, journalist, historian or scientist. Forecasting is difficult, it turns out.” Whenever confronted with a long-term projection of any kind, be skeptical.

Potential Fixes. Climate alarmists are quick to offer radical economic remedies. Most commonly mentioned are huge tax increases, energy rationing, mandated reliance on renewable energy, rejection of fossil fuels, reparations from the developed world to the third world, etc., all of which have serious economic consequences.

Concerns over the real economic costs as compared to very marginal projected benefits led to U.S. withdrawal from the Paris Climate Accord. As North Carolina’s former secretary of Environmental Quality, Donald van der Vaart, wrote recently, political leaders are beginning “to recognize that the environmental narrative, which asks people to pay a lot of money for a change that may or may not occur many years from now, is a tough sell.”

In summary, these guidelines do not answer all the questions, but they do question the answers.

As Voltaire wisely wrote, “Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd.”

Is reality optional?

SUPPOSE I DECLARE that I am a king.

Should you be required to address me as “Your Majesty”?

You say, “Williams, that’s lunacy!

You can’t prove such nonsense.” You’re wrong. It’s proved by my declaration.

It’s no different from a person born with XY chromosomes declaring that he is a woman. The XY sex determination system is the sex determination system found in humans and most other mammals. Females typically have two of the same kind of sex chromosome (XX) and are called the homogametic sex. Males typically have two different kinds of sex chromosomes (XY) and are called the heterogametic sex.

Governments are beginning to ignore biology and permit people to make their sex optional. Sex can be changed on one’s birth certificate, passport, Social Security card and driver’s license. In New York, intentional or repeated refusal to use an individual’s preferred name, pronoun or title is a violation of the New York City Human Rights Law. If a person born with XY chromosomes asserts that he is a woman, then repeatedly addressing the person by the name on his birth certificate, referring to the person as “him” or addressing him as “Mister” violates the law and subjects the villain to heavy penalties. The law requires acknowledgment that sex is optional rather than a biological determination.

If one can change his sex on his birth certificate according to how he feels, why not his age?

Drug abuse is a national epidemic

With more than 72,000 overdose fatalities, the national death toll in 2017 exceeded the total number of Americans killed in the Vietnam War, Desert Storm, and the War on Terror, combined.

LAST WEEK, I read a heartbreaking article by Associated Press national reporter Claire Galofaro in which she describes the unimaginable burden carried by families who have lost loved ones to addiction.

Sadly, the families profiled in the article are not alone in their pain and suffering. Opioid and drug abuse is a national epidemic unprecedented in scale and impact.

With more than 72,000 overdose fatalities, the national death toll in 2017 exceeded the total number of Americans killed in the Vietnam War, Desert Storm, and the War on Terror, combined.

Sadly North Carolina has not been immune to the worsening crisis. Our state saw a drastic surge in fatal drug overdoses in 2017 – with initial estimates indicating at least 2,323 North Carolinians lost their lives.

That’s about the equivalent to the population of Franklinton — gone in just one year.

Yet, these statistics alone cannot articulate the sheer scope of this epidemic.

This crisis touches nearly every American family — it cuts across all demographics and income levels. It is felt by the parents who’ve had to bury a child, by the communities torn apart from within, and by the brave law enforcement officers serving on the front lines day in and day out.

Overcoming this crisis will not be easy. Unfortunately, there is no silver bullet. But, we are making progress.

For instance, last year Republicans and Democrats in Congress worked together to pass the STOP Act to stem the illegal importation of fentanyl, the deadly synthetic opioid that has been the cause of many overdose deaths.

Roughly 50 times stronger than heroin and 100 times stronger than morphine, fentanyl is so potent that two milligrams, the equivalent to a few grains of salt, can be fatal.

Most of the fentanyl flooding our streets is produced cheaply in laboratories overseas, then shipped through the global postal system and the U.S. Postal Service to the United States where it is distributed and sold for huge profits.

Under the STOP Act, every package entering the United States through this system will be screened for fentanyl and

The Act also equips our law enforcement personnel with new, state-ofthe-art detection tools.

We are also working to expand treatment and recovery services. There is strong evidence to suggest that therapy combined with medication can drastically reduce opioid addiction. Yet, according to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health, only one in four people suffering from an opioid addiction actually receive treatment.

Part of the reason is that treatment is often unavailable to those in need. This is especially true for seniors.

While Medicare beneficiaries have the highest and fastest growing rate of opioid addiction, Medicare does not cover most forms of treatment.

To fix this problem, I authored a bill to expand Medicare coverage to include the most effective forms of treatment available.

Our bill was combined with more than 50 additional bills to create one large piece of legislation, called the SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Act, which was passed by a sweeping bipartisan majority in Congress and recently signed into law

by President Trump. The legislation expands access to improved treatment and recovery services, encourages non-addictive opioid alternatives, and gives law enforcement personnel more resources to get the drugs off our streets.

This is just the start. My colleagues in Congress and I are committed to working together in conjunction with medical professionals and experts to craft additional legislation to counter this national epidemic.

While legislation plays an important part, it is not enough. Overcoming the opioid crisis will take more than government action. It will require a commitment, community by community, to lend a helping hand to vulnerable individuals, lift up afflicted families, and crack down on foreign drug traffickers.

We won’t defeat the opioid epidemic overnight — it must be done one step at a time. More than 75% of heroin users report misusing prescription opioids before turning to heroin. Our next step will be to clamp down on over-prescription of opioid painkillers and invest in the development of nonopioid alternatives. Reducing the number of people who are prescribed opioid painkillers in the first place means fewer future drug addictions and overdoses.

Overcoming this crisis will not be easy — there is no silver bullet nor simple fix — but I have no doubt we will defeat this terrible epidemic and free our nation from the scourge of drug abuse.

George Holding represents North Carolina’s Third Congressional District in the U.S. House.

Do the people who support the optionality of sex also support the optionality of age? My birth certificate shows 1936 as my year of birth. Age cutoffs exclude me from many jobs, such as police officer, service member and firefighter.

If one can change his sex on his birth certificate according to how he feels, why not his age? I think I’ll petition to change my year of birth to 1972.

Super Bowl LIII made history. For the first time, there were two male dancers working out with a cheerleading squad — in this case, with the Los Angeles Rams’ squad. Men being on the field with female squads is not new. They’ve helped the women with stunts.

But Quinton Peron and Napoleon Jinnies danced with the female cheerleaders and performed all the same moves. It’s nice to see cheerleader barriers fall, but there’s another form of rampant cheerleader discrimination that needs to be addressed. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a full-figured older female cheerleader for any professional sports team. Most appear to be younger than 30 and don’t look as if they weigh more than 120 pounds.

There are other forms of discrimination in sports. There’s a sensible argument that can be made for segregating sexes in football, boxing, basketball and ice hockey.

Men are typically stronger and bigger than women, so integrating sports such as football, boxing, basketball and ice hockey would lead to disproportionate injury and possibly death to women.

But what about sports in which there’s no contact, such as tennis, bowling, billiards and swimming? Why should there be men’s teams and women’s teams? Why aren’t feminists protesting against this kind of sports segregation? After all, feminists have ignored the huge strength, aggressiveness and competitiveness differences between men and women in their demands that women be assigned to military combat units.

Refusing to acknowledge chromosomal differences and giving people the right to declare their sex can lead to opportunities heretofore nonexistent. For example, the men’s fastest 100-meter speed is 9.58 seconds. The women’s record is 10.49 seconds. What if a male sprinter with 10-second speed claimed womanhood, ran in the women’s event and won the gold? A lower bar to achieving fame and fortune exists in women’s basketball. It would take only a few tall men who claim they are women to dominate the game.

Suppose a college honored the right of its students to free themselves from biological determinism and allowed those with XY chromosomes to play on teams formerly designated as XX teams. What if an “unenlightened” women’s basketball team refused to play against a team with a starting five consisting of 6-foot-6-inch, 200-plus-pound XYers? The NCAA should have a rule stating that refusal to play a mixed-chromosome team leads to forfeiture of the game. It’s no different from a team of white players refusing to play another because it has black players.

2019 chevy blazer

PHOTOS COURTESY OF CHEVROLET

By Jordan Golson For the North State Journal AS A PROFESSIONAL automotive journalist, a lot of people ask me for advice about cars. They’ll ask about particular brands or features, or how a new car drives or whether you can fit a set of skis in the back. I’ve driven hundreds of cars in my career, and, on the back of that experience, I do my best to steer them in the right direction.

And after all this well-considered advice, they inevitably ignore it and buy something that catches their eye at the dealer. These days, I actually say to advice seekers, “I’ll tell you what I think, but I also know you’ll ignore it.”

They’ll deny it, but it always happens and I’ve grown to accept it. I’m not sure why it happens, but I think it’s because of the nature of the car buying process. Hyundai captured this well in a Super Bowl ad this past weekend: according to Jason Bateman, buying a car is worse than a root canal, the middle seat on a plane, or a vegan dinner party.

But more than that, buying a car is an emotional decision. Yes, you have to have something you can afford and that will fit your needs, but there’s a reason carmakers spend so much money on design and television spots with cars driving through twisty, leaf-strewn back roads or through rivers and off-road trails. Your car is a declaration about yourself, or at least what you want yourself to be.

That’s why, when I told a friend of mine, after hours of discussion, to go buy a Chevy Colorado pickup because it would be perfect for him, he went out and got himself a Jeep Wrangler. The emotional decision outweighed the logical one. He wanted the Wrangler.

Which brings us to the new Chevy Blazer, which is not, sadly, a hulking off-road monster. Instead, it’s a more mundane two-row, mid-size SUV slotting between the Traverse and the Equinox in the Chevy lineup. It goes up against other two-row SUVs like the Jeep Grand Cherokee, the Hyundai Santa Fe, Ford Edge and the new Honda Passport.

Chevrolet says the most important feature of three-row SUVs like its Traverse is seating capacity. That’s the reason people pick that car. But for two-row SUVs like the Blazer — which is not much smaller — it is design and styling.

The Blazer looks cool. It’s Camaro-esque. Chevy says it has a “toned, athletic appearance,” which goes a little far but isn’t that far off. It is a bit of a looker, inside and out. It has perhaps the nicest interior of any of the modern Chevy SUVs and trucks.

The sporty RS model is particularly good looking, with blacked out badging for the Chevrolet bow tie and the Blazer lettering, as well as fantastic red trim inside the car.

There are a pair of engines available, starting with a slightly-wimpy four-cylinder or a 3.6L V6 with a lot more oomph. AWD is optional, and the Blazer can tow a max of 4,500 pounds if you opt for the V6.

It drives well too. During some spirited driving on twisty backroads around San Diego, the Blazer was planted and surefooted, one of the better Chevy SUVs in that department.

And then we come to the price. See, the Blazer is a bit... expensive. A Chevy dealership friend of mine agreed, telling me that it’s $5,000 too much. “I lost my mind when my first vehicle got invoiced and I saw the price. They’re shooting for the stars.”

It starts at $30,000 for the four-cylinder, but that engine is probably too weak for the price. By the time you get into the V6, especially with all the nice tech that Blazer buyers will want, you’re well into the high $30s, and then into the $40s for the RS and Premier models.

You’re getting into Volvo XC60 territory for that money. Yeah, the RS and Premier are well-equipped, but the competition in this segment is fierce and Chevy definitely won’t be the best value proposition here. But perhaps it doesn’t matter.

Because here’s where we come back to the emotional decision of buying a car. There are going to be a lot of folks who walk into their Chevy dealer planning to buy a Traverse or Equinox and then absolutely fall in love with the look of the Blazer.

It won’t be the car I recommend, but at the end of the day, folks will still be happy with it. And I’m ok with that too.

The release says the bus driver “did an excellent job” evacuating the students before the bus exploded.

Wilson County Emergency Management Director Gordon Deno said it took about 30 minutes to extinguish the fire, as around 100 gallons of diesel fuel burned.

Gardner-Webb (14-9, 4-4 Big South): The Runnin’ Bulldogs are the only other team in the state in the top 200 in NET rating, coming in at 195th. Gardner-Webb owns high-profile wins over Georgia Tech (a Quadrant 2 win) and Wake Forest (Quadrant 3). The team has balanced scoring and senior leadership from David Efianayi and DJ Laster.

RALEIGH — The ride has been exhilarating, with plenty of ups and downs, twists and turns.

But even as his NC State women’s basketball team continued to win, setting a school record for its best start ever and climbing to No. 7 in the national polls, coach Wes Moore had a feeling that the fun was about to end.

He said he could see it coming well before Sunday’s 64-51 loss to archrival North Carolina before a packed house at Reynolds Coliseum, the Wolfpack’s first in 22 games this season.

“The last week or so, we just haven’t had mojo,” Moore said. “We’ve just been going through the motions in practice. Even in the games, we need more energy, we need more enthusiasm. We don’t have a ton of personality out there right now.

We’ve got to get back to having some fun.”

That might figure to be easier now that the weight of being the nation’s only undefeated team of either gender has been lifted from State’s collective shoulders.

That’s not the case, though, according to junior forward Erika Cassell.

She said that while she and her teammates would like to have kept their run of success going for as long as possible, there wasn’t a collective feeling of relief once it finally came to an end with Sunday’s first loss.

“I don’t feel like there was pressure,” said Cassell, who had eight points and 12 rebounds in the game. “Of course, everyone was wondering how long the streak is going to go on. It’s just something for us to bounce back from.”

Despite all the winning, the Wolfpack has already gotten plenty of experience bouncing back from adversity this season.

The team lost starting point guard Kaila Ealey to a season-ending knee injury during preseason practice. In its ACC opener against Duke, starting shooting guard and second-leading scorer Grace Hunter also tore her ACL and was lost for the season.

State’s backcourt depth was further challenged two games later against Pittsburgh when backup Armani Hawkins was also lost with an ACL tear.

“When any teammate goes down,” graduate forward Kiara Leslie said. “Everybody has to step up.”

Leslie, who missed the 2016-17 season with a knee injury of her own while playing for Maryland, has done her part by leading the team in scoring (15.4 per game), rebounding (7.7 per game), steals (29) and blocked shots (20) while ranking second in assists with 63.

Junior Aislinn Konig moved into the point guard spot and has done an admirable job, averaging nearly 12 points and four assists per game while shooting 40.1 percent from beyond the 3-point line — 60 percentage points better than last season, when she set a school record by making 91 treys.

Mid-major report: A look at the postseason hopes for in-state teams Davidson, UNCG have the best chance for at-large NCAA Tournament bids

By Shawn Krest North State Journal WITH FIVE and a half weeks to go until Selection Sunday, every team’s latest win and loss will be broken down to determine the impact on the school’s NCAA Tournament resume.

To get a head start on the bracketology, we decided to check in with the 14 non-ACC schools in the state for a progress report and an early read on each team’s March outlook.

Aiming for a bid Davidson (16-5, 7-1 in the Atlantic 10): Despite the impressive record, the Wildcats likely need to finish strong to ensure themselves of just their second at-large bid (13 of their previous 14 trips were earned by winning the conference tourney). Even then, Davidson might be on pins and needles waiting for its name to be called if it doesn’t win its conference tournament. Davidson’s NET rating is just 63, putting it behind several potential bubble teams. The Wildcats have a shortage of impressive wins, going 0-2 against “Quadrant 1” (top-rated) teams.

it would be this year, when UNCG and Wofford appear to both be worthy. The Spartans were one of seven teams to already reach 20 wins through Monday’s games (Tennessee, Virginia, Michigan, Gonzaga, Houston and Nevada are the others), but a conference tourney loss to Wofford could result in a very frustrating NIT trip for Miller.

NC State picks Corrigan be next AD The current Army athletic director will succeed the retiring Debbie Yow on May 1

B3 “He knows this part of the country, and he knows the great history of NC State athletics.”

NC State chancellor Randy Woodson

By Brett Friedlander North State Journal RALEIGH — It took seven children, including five straight boys, for Gene Corrigan to finally consent to naming one after himself.

Even then, the former ACC commissioner disliked his name so much that he began referring to his youngest son as “Boo.” Fifty-two years later, Eugene Francis Corrigan Jr. still answers to “Boo.” But not because he’s distanced himself from his lineage or legacy.

In fact, his name isn’t the only thing he has in common with his father. He also has a talent for athletic administration, a trait that made him a natural choice to succeed retiring Debbie Yow as NC State’s next athletic director.

“Among all the people that I talked with and all the people I considered, Boo’s name always came back to the top of the list,” said State’s chancellor Randy Woodson, who described Corrigan as being “steeped in the understanding of athletic administration and preparing for this job throughout his life.

“I was looking for someone that this wasn’t their first rodeo, that they know what Division I, Power 5 athletics is about and all the issues that come along with it,” Woodson said in introducing Woodson last Wednesday at Reynolds Coliseum. “I wanted people that were visiting with me about this job to be sold on this university and this job before that first conversation occurred. And that box was checked for me in Boo early on because he knows this conference.

He knows this part of the country, and he knows the great history of NC State athletics.”

He joins the Wolfpack after eight years as athletic director at Army, which enjoyed a period of significant growth and success under his leadership. During his watch, the Cadets won 20 Patriot League championships and saw their football program improve from 2-10 in 2015 to 11-2 and a third straight bowl bid this season.

The program Corrigan inherits at State has experienced a similar renaissance under Yow, having accomplished the goal she set upon her hiring in 2010 to turn the Wolfpack into a consistent top 25 contender.

State has finished 17th and 15th

in the Directors’ Cup standings over the past two years, its highest ranking ever in the national allsports competition.

“It’s a chance to get better, and I think that’s how I look at every day when I’ll be the AD,” Corrigan said. “How can we continue to develop our student-athletes?

How can we continue to develop our coaches for that matter … to make sure that they have every resource they need? But (those are) high-class problems because of the great job that Debbie did.”

As a fellow administrator and someone with such a strong ACC pedigree, Corrigan said he noticed the Wolfpack’s recent pros-

perity from afar and was attracted to the job even before anyone approached him about it.

“You have to see the success that’s occurred here and not only athletically, but academically and from a brand and from every aspect of the institution. It’s going in such a positive direction,” he said.

“When Debbie announced that she was leaving, (wife) Kris and I kind of looked at each other like, ‘Boy, that’d be a great place for us to go because of the success that’s occurred, because of the coaches that they’ve hired.”

If there was any doubt that he would accept the job once it was offered to him, it was dispelled

Still no slowing down the Patriots’ dynasty New England wins its sixth Super Bowl with 13-3 win over the Rams

By Rob Maaddi AP Pro Football Writer ATLANTA — Tom Brady quickly made it clear that winning a record sixth Super Bowl title won’t change his mind about playing at least another year.

As long as No. 12 is still going, New England’s dynasty won’t crumble.

“Doesn’t change anything,” Brady said moments after the Patriots beat the Los Angeles Rams 13-3 on Sunday. “I can’t wait to spend some time with my family, my kids and my wife. Couldn’t do it without their support. It’s been a great year.”

The Patriots have long defied odds and continue rewriting history by sustaining their success for two decades. Brady and coach Bill Belichick are 6-3 in Super Bowls since 2001. They have won 10 straight AFC East titles and reached eight conference titles games in a row. They’ve posted a winning record in 18 consecutive seasons, reaching the playoffs 16 times, winning 16 division titles and nine AFC championships.

It’s an unprecedented run, and they’re not done yet.

The Patriots were counted out in 2014 after a 41-14 loss to Kansas City on Monday Night Football dropped their record to 2-2.

All they’ve done since is win three of the last five Super Bowls. Each time it appears they may be slipping, the Patriots come back strong and find a way to overcome any turmoil.

Belichick and Brady were supposedly at odds last year and their relationship was reportedly nearing a breaking point.

One of the first people to embrace Brady after the game was Belichick, wrapping his arms around his quarterback and Super Bowl MVP Julian Edelman amid a sea of confetti and a swarm of cameras.

“Coach makes it a challenging football environment, the pressure is always on, and for moments like this, you have to rise to the occasion,” Brady said.

Brady hasn’t wavered from his stated desire to play until he’s

45. He was ordinary much of the game against the Rams but delivered in the clutch in the fourth quarter. Overall, he had an excellent season at age 41 and was spectacular in the conference title win at Kansas City.

Brady shows little sign of slowing down thanks to his rigorous training schedule and nutrition program. And thanks to a great team Belichick re-assembles around him each season, Brady doesn’t have to win every game with his arm.

The Patriots reinvented themselves this season, adding a downhill running game that gave the offense more balance. Rookie Sony Michel ran for 931 yards and six touchdowns in the regular season, and 336 yards and six more TDs in the playoffs. He can be even better next season.

“I’m so proud of him,” Patriots center David Andrews said of his fellow Georgia Bulldog Michel.

“He faced a lot of adversity at the beginning with an injury, and

“Coach makes it a challenging football environment, the pressure is always on, and for moments like this, you have to rise to the occasion.”

We started finding our identity throughout the year.”

Then the defense dominated in the biggest game, holding the league’s second-highest scoring offense to only a field goal.

“I don’t think we care about what people had to say,” cornerback Jason McCourty said. “We

just knew what we were capable of, and we still had a chance to win the Super Bowl. It doesn’t matter how many people doubted us.”

It’s possible the Patriots may lose one of their key players if four-time All-Pro tight end Rob Gronkowski decides to retire.

Gronkowski, who had a 29-yard catch to set up Michel’s TD run, isn’t certain of his future.

“I haven’t thought about that,” he said. “That’ll be decided in a few weeks or so.”

The Patriots can stock up on talent in the upcoming draft.

They have 12 picks, including six in the first three rounds. And they have a history of making key free agent signings and trading for veterans who play key roles.

“We have a lot of great people in the organization,” Belichick said. “It starts at the top with (owner) Robert (Kraft) and his family. He’s given us great support in all the things we need to do to be competitive.”

almost immediately upon leaving his interview with Woodson last week thanks to a text from his friend and Army Gen. Ray Odierno — a West Point graduate who earned his master’s degree at State.

“Call me ASAP,” it read.

“I don’t know if y’all have ever received a text from a four-star general, but it’s a little intimidating when you get that,” Corrigan said. “I had a chance to talk to (Odierno), and his first words were, ‘This is a great job. This is a great place. I think you’re the right person to be there.’”

Corrigan joked about how rivals State and UNC will soon have athletic directors named Boo and Bubba, suggesting that the combination sounded like the name of a comedy act.

A self-described “emotional guy,” he got choked up several times during his introductory press conference — especially when he was asked about his father.

“He had two phrases that he used to tell all seven of us,” Corrigan said. “‘It’s better to remain silent and appear stupid than to open your mouth and remove all doubt’ was one of them. The other one that I really do take to heart is, ‘Take your job serious, but not yourself.’

“We were jokingly talking the other day and Chancellor Woodson looked at me and said, ‘You’re kind of a big deal.’ And I said, ‘Well, the job is.’

“Dad had a great humility about him as well, and I think you have to have an ego in these jobs to a certain level to even get to this point. But it doesn’t have to be what leads you through the door.”

WOLFPACK from page B1 freshman Elissa Cunane, who has twice been named the ACC’s Rookie of the Week.

But as resilient as the Wolfpack has been, the depth issues the injuries have caused may be starting to take their toll on the able-bodied players that remain as they enter the season’s homestretch.

“It’s tough because you don’t have a lot of subs and depth in practice, so you’re tempted to pace yourself,” Moore said. “We’re fortunate to have some great practice guys to go against. We’ve got to figure out a way to rotate and keep these players a little fresher, especially on the perimeter.”

Moore said that he rarely talked about the streak, concentrating instead on what he called a “next game up” mentality. But there have been recent indications that the strain of trying to stay unbeaten was beginning to take its toll on his players.

They were taken to overtime at home before beating bottom feeder Virginia Tech on Jan. 20, then slogged through pedestrian wins against Clemson, Georgia Tech and Wake Forest — two of which are also in the lower half of the ACC standings.

In each of those victories, State failed to shoot better than 43 percent. It combined to go 16 of 57 from 3-point range while committing an average of 15 turnovers. All those things finally caught up with it against the Tar Heels, especially during a second half in which the Wolfpack made just four of 23 field goal attempts, went 3 of 14 on 3-pointers, turned the ball over nine times and was outscored 3319.

“We can compete with anybody if we’re playing our ‘A’ game,” Moore said. “But we’ve got to get back defending and rebounding, the boring stuff, and then offensively we’ve got to be a little more up-tempo.”

State doesn’t have much time to figure out how to do that.

Not only is it coming off its first loss, but it’s about to enter its most difficult stretch of the season. The next three games come against ranked opponents — at No. 24 Florida State on Thursday, followed by a trip to No. 18 Syracuse and a return home for a showdown against No. 5 Notre Dame.

“We definitely have a chip on our shoulders,” Cassell said. “Of course, we don’t want this feeling again, so I’m sure in practice we’re going to change. We’re going to pick up the slack (because now we) know that anybody can beat us.”

Hurricanes’ road trip provides opportunity Following Tuesday’s game in Pittsburgh, Carolina needs to take advantage of four winnable games

By Cory Lavalette AP Sports Writer RALEIGH — The Carolina Hurricanes were 11-12-2 away from PNC Arena heading into Tuesday night’s game in Pittsburgh, the first of a season-long five-game road trip that will set the stage for this month’s NHL trade deadline and the team’s playoff chances.

After struggling on extended road trips earlier in the season, going 1-2-0, 0-3-1 and 1-2-0 in the campaign’s first two months on sojourns of three games or more, the Hurricanes have had back-to-back successful roadies.

From Jan. 6-10, Carolina won two of three against Ottawa, the Islanders and Tampa Bay, losing only to the NHL’s top team, and then got five of six points on last month’s trip through western Canada , sandwiching an overtime loss to the Flames around wins in Edmonton and Vancouver.

The team’s record since a New Year’s Eve home win over the Flyers is 10-4-1, and that included a 5-2-1 record outside of Raleigh. So this five-game swing through Eastern Conference arenas will be pivotal in determining the direction — both in the standings and with the roster — of the Hurricanes.

The toughest opponent on the trip was up first with Tuesday’s visit to the revamped Penguins. From there, however, the Hurricanes get four of the seven other teams currently outside the Eastern Conference playoff picture. Here’s a look at those four games and what to expect.

Buffalo Sabres, Feb. 7 This will be the front half of a back-to-back for the Hurricanes, but it looks like Carolina is catching the Sabres at the right time.

Once the Cinderella darlings of the Eastern Conference, Buffalo has fallen on hard times.

The Sabres were 4-9-1 since Christmas heading into Tuesday’s home game against Minnesota, including a 4-3 loss to the Hurricanes in Raleigh back on Jan. 11.

But Buffalo has at least been decent at home, going 5-5-2 since December.

The biggest issue has been the goaltending, which has fallen off a cliff. Carter Hutton was 12-7-1 in October and November, but he’s just 3-7-1 since, and his save percentage in 2019 is .852 and he is allowing close to 4½ goals allowed a game. Yech.

Linus Ullmark hasn’t been much better. The Swede is 2-4 in eight appearances in January and February, allowing 3.21 goals with an .896 save percentage. Throw in that Jeff Skinner scored once in seven games before Tuesday, and nothing is going right in Buffalo.

New York Rangers, Feb. 8 Madison Square Garden is a house of horrors for the Hurricanes, with the Rangers beat-

5-3-1 The Hurricanes’ record on the second half of back-to-back games this season.

ing Carolina 16 straight times in the Big Apple. The Canes’ last win at MSG was Jan. 5, 2011, and the streak is New York’s longest against one team in franchise history.

So that’s decidedly not good.

The Hurricanes, however, are a respectable 5-3-1 on the back end of back-to-backs, though their road record in those games is 2-3‑0. The Rangers already have a 6-2 win at home over the Hurricanes under their belt, but reality has set in that the Blueshirts will be deadline sellers.

There’d be no better time for the Hurricanes to snap their drought in NYC, and after winning five of seven to close out January, the Rangers have lost home games to Tampa Bay and in overtime to the Kings.

New Jersey Devils, Feb. 10 The Devils are in a race with Ottawa and Detroit to be the Eastern Conference’s worst team, but they have been good at home, with a 137-4 record. Carolina is 1-1 against New Jersey this season, winning at home but suffering a 2-0 shutout at Prudential Center on Dec. 29.

The shutout, however, was by MacKenzie Blackwood, who has since been reassigned to the AHL. Carolina will probably be hoping Cory Schneider — who hasn’t won an NHL regular season game since Dec. 27, 2017, going 0-15-3 — will start, especially since Keith Kinkaid is 7-2 with a .942 save percentage and 1.87 goals-against average against the Hurricanes in his career.

The Devils are just 5-8-0 since the calendar flipped, and they will be playing an afternoon game for the second straight day — the Wild visit for a 1 p.m. game on Feb. 9 — when they line up with the Hurricanes.

Ottawa Senators, Feb. 12 The Matt Duchene and Mark Stone speculation will likely be at a fever pitch come this game. Carolina has split two games against the Senators this season, winning in Ottawa and losing at home.

Ottawa has lost four straight heading into Wednesday’s game at Toronto, and the game against the Hurricanes will be the last at home before the Senators hit the road for four straight.

Through Monday’s games, the Senators were allowing a leagueworst 3.73 goals a game, and their 76.4 percent penalty killing rate was tied for fourth-worst in the league — perhaps a cure for what ails Carolina’s struggling power play. Ottawa also allows an NHL worst 36.4 shots per game, while the Hurricanes’ 35.7 shots on goal per game paces the league.

Reflection: Two decades of Julius Peppers From UNC standout to NFL star, the N.C. native retires with a Hall of Fame resume

By Shawn Krest North State Journal TWENTY YEARS after he arrived at UNC as a tight end, Julius Peppers has announced his retirement. His career took him through two positions at UNC, a second sport with the Tar Heels and a pair of stints on the Carolina Panthers.

“Only time can reveal what’s next,” Peppers said in a goodbye message to Panthers fans, “but my time here is up. No regrets, no looking back and nothing left to give.”

Born in Wilson and raised in Bailey, Peppers didn’t see himself as an NFL star. “I didn’t grow up playing football,” he said in his retirement announcement on The Players’ Tribune, “I wanted to be a basketball player. MJ (Michael Jordan) was my idol.”

Peppers got the chance to follow in Jordan’s footsteps. While he was recruited to Carolina, by then coach Carl Torbush as a high school running back to play tight end for the Tar Heels, Peppers got the chance to walk on to Bill Guthridge’s men’s basketball team.

Peppers was one of the few bench options on a shorthanded basketball team, playing 16 minutes in the Tar Heels’ Final Four game that year.

The following season, for coach Matt Doherty, he averaged 7.1 points and 4.0 rebounds, both fifth-best on the squad.

A 6-foot-7, 290-pound force on the court, while Zion Williamson was an infant, Peppers was promising enough for the expansion Charlotte Bobcats to consider bringing him in for a workout,

MID-MAJORS from page B1 the Big South. The junior guard tandem of Jahaad Proctor and Brandon Kamga lead the way, averaging a combined 33.2 points, 8.9 rebounds and 5.1 assists.

NC A&T (11-11, 6-2 MEAC): The Aggies have played a brutal schedule, traveling to Maryland, Virginia Tech, Minnesota, Hofstra, Wake Forest, Marshall and ECU. Unfortunately, they have yet to win a Quadrant 1, 2 or 3 game, going 0-7. They’ve fattened their record by beating up on teams at the bottom of the rankings.

NC Central (10-13, 5-4 MEAC): It’s a rare off year for LeVelle Moton, who will need a strong finish to avoid just his second losing season in nine years at the helm of the Eagles. Central is also 0-7 against the top three quadrants, with losses at Cincinnati, Clemson, George Mason and St. Louis, among others.

UNC Wilmington senior Devontae Cacok is leading the Seahawks with 15.6 points and 12.1 rebounds per game.

Appalachian State (8-14, 3-6 Sun Belt): In his fifth year, coach Jim Fox has never posted a winning season at App, and it’s looking like this year won’t break the pattern. An 0-6 record against Quadrant 3 teams has sunk the

according to recent media reports.

By then, however, Peppers’ future seemed to be on the gridiron, not the hardwood. Buried on the tight end depth chart, Peppers asked coaches to move him to defensive end, to follow in the footsteps of NFL Draft picks Greg Ellis and Vonnie Holliday. “My goal was to get to the league,” he wrote, “and the defensive linemen seemed to be getting there.”

It didn’t take long for the move to pay dividends. Peppers had 15 sacks as a sophomore to lead the nation. As a junior, he won the Bednarik and Lombardi awards for the top defensive player and lineman, respectively.

Peppers is still second on UNC’s career sacks list with 30.5.

He also scored three defensive touchdowns for the Tar Heels.

Much like the Bobcats, Peppers was on the radar of his home state’s NFL team. The Carolina Panthers chose him with the second overall pick in the 2002 Draft.

With 12 sacks in 12 games, Peppers won the 2002 Defensive Rookie of the Year. The following season, he helped lead the Panthers to the Super Bowl for the first time in franchise history.

Carolina lost to the Patriots, helping to produce the one hole in Peppers’ career resume.

“I didn’t necessarily understand the gravity of the moment,” he wrote. “I mean, it felt terrible to lose. It always does. But my thought process was, ‘It’s O.K. We’ll be back next year.’ As you probably know, we didn’t make it back that next year. … I’ve been on a lot of great teams since but never another Super Bowl team.”

Peppers had to be content with being one of the best NFL players of all time at his position. He made the All-Decade team for the 2000s. He retires at No. 4 on the NFL’s career sacks list, a half-

sack behind another former Panther, Kevin Greene. He’s also second in forced fumbles, second in tackles for loss and second in fumble-return touchdowns.

Peppers is also the Panthers’ career sacks leader, with nearly 30 more than the next player on the list, and his 33 forced fumbles with the team are 13 more than the No. 2 player.

Showing his other-worldly athleticism, Peppers finished his career with more than 80 pass deflections, second most among defensive linemen. His 49 with the Panthers are fifth most among all positions.

Peppers was also durable at a position that takes a great deal of punishment. His 266 games played are sixth most by a defensive player in NFL history. He finishes his career on a 176-consecutive-game streak, second only to quarterback Philip Rivers and three seasons longer than the next defensive end on the list.

He’s also played more than two full seasons worth of games longer than Terrell Suggs, who will replace him as the active leader in defensive games played.

The numbers, however, do a poor job of describing Peppers, as anyone who ever saw him play would attest.

“I wouldn’t change a thing about this journey,” Peppers wrote. “It was the best teacher I’ve ever had and was everything I could’ve hoped for.”

Mountaineers’ hopes of a turnaround, despite senior guard Ronshad Shabazz (18.1 points per game) of Raleigh and sophomore Justin Forrest (16.6 points per game).

UNC Wilmington (8-16, 4-7 Colonial): Former UNC assistant C.B. McGrath is struggling to get the program back to the level Kevin Keatts left, heading for his second straight losing season. Keatts holdover Devontae Cacok is averaging 15.6 points and 12.1 rebounds as a senior. Charlotte sophomore Ty Gadsden (11.5 points per game) and Japan-born freshman Kai Toews (8.6 points) are solid building blocks for the future.

East Carolina (9-12, 2-7 AAC): A home win over Cincinnati has been the highlight of coach Joe Dooley’s first season at the helm.

If the Pirates can put together a late-season run, they could find their way into the postseason. There are plenty of opportunities for impressive wins with games remaining against Houston, South Florida, UConn, Memphis and Wichita State.

Charlotte (5-17, 2-9 CUSA): First-year coach Ron Sanchez has already lost more games than he did the last two seasons combined as a UVa assistant. The 49ers beat Oklahoma State at home, but not

much else has gone right for Charlotte. Senior guard Jon Davis (21.5 points per game) is the team’s only double-digit scorer.

Western Carolina (6-18, 3-8 Southern): Another first-year coach in the state is paying his dues, as Mark Prosser has won just a half dozen games on the year.

WCU still has games remaining against Quadrant 1 teams Wofford, UNCG and ETSU, all on the road, so things could get worse before they get better.

Elon (8-16, 4-7 Colonial): The Phoenix have a nice new arena, which will likely be the bright spot of the season. Elon sends out seniors Tyler Seibring (17.3 points per game), Steve Santa Ana (15.4 points) and Sheldon Eberhardt (9.5 points) with their second straight losing season. Coach Matt Matheny has topped .500 just once in the five years since Elon joined the Colonial after posting back-to-back winning campaigns in the Southern.

UNC Asheville (3-20, 1-8 Big South): At No. 352, UNCA is the second worst team in the nation, according to the NET ratings that the selection committee uses to evaluate teams. This is a team that won 20 games each of the last three seasons but has bottomed out under first-year coach Mike Morell.

The WOTC is a federal tax credit available to employers who hire individuals from eligible target groups who are qualified for positions but face significant barriers to employment. In North Carolina, the Division of Workforce Solutions (DWS) administers WOTC and determines eligibility for the target groups.

According to the newly released data, DWS awarded certifications to 2,548 North Carolina employers for 75,745 new employees in the 2018 calendar year. That was a 3 percent increase in the number of employers and a 13.5 percent increase in the number of certifications compared to the 2017 calendar year. Those certifications allowed employers to potentially claim up to $188,466,600 in tax credits – an increase of 7.2 percent, or almost $12.7 million, over 2017.

“We attribute these increases both to greater demand in a time of job growth and low unemployment, and to improved efficiency by staff,” said N.C. Commerce Secretary Anthony Copeland. “We encourage businesses to use this important tax credit, because it supports their own success and helps bring more North Carolinians into the workforce so that they can contribute to their communities.”

Charlotte-based gasket company ready to franchise nationally After acquiring manufacturer isn’t a major part of their business models, and they don’t necessariin Raleigh, owner believes pieces in place for expansion ly even want to do it.

By David Larson North State Journal CHARLOTTE — Selling gaskets for commercial kitchen appliances may not sound like the sexiest industry to pursue, but as an experienced salesman and investor, Andy Dinkin saw an unfilled niche. With his recent acquisition of The Gasket Guy of Raleigh, Dinkin believes he’s ready to make his Charlotte-based company, The Seals, the national leader in the industry, with franchises in every major market.

Gaskets are seals that fill the space between parts of a machine to prevent leakage. For restaurants, hotels and others who operate industrial kitchens, if, for example, the gasket on the inside of the refrigerator door fails, it can compromise food safety and waste energy.

“We serve predominantly restaurants, but also colleges like NC State and UNC Greensboro, for their various cafeterias on campus, entertainment venues, some nursing homes,” Dinkin told North State Journal. “Our focus is anyone who operates a commercial kitchen because all of those are subject to health inspections. And what really drives a lot of our business is when gaskets get torn or have mold, they are mandated by health inspectors to be replaced.”

Dinkin said a big part of what attracted him to this business as a salesman and entrepreneur was the residual nature of it and that health inspections create the demand. The commercial refrigeration vendors are mostly filling this need at the moment, but it

The Seals recently acquired a Raleigh competitor, The Gasket Guy of Raleigh, and Dinkin said this was the catalyst for now being able to launch the model to a much wider market. Andrew Thompson, the owner of The Gasket Guy of Raleigh, had manufactured his own product, and Dinkin believes he, “is one of the country’s true gasket craftsmen.” Thompson will remain with the company, now as VP of production, and will be overseeing a new 2,000 square foot Fuquay-Varina facility.

“I am excited to be joining an already established and proven team, and want to help The Seals grow into the largest gasket provider in the country,” Thompson said in a press release announcing the acquisition.

With manufacturing now inhouse, The Seals is ready look beyond the Carolinas. Dinkin says they have spent the last nine years perfecting every aspect of the business, from marketing scripts to software, and this year is the year they will take franchising nationwide.

“I would say we have national aspirations. I really believe I have something that would be very attractive to people who aspire to own their own business,” Dinkin said. “Given my background as a small business owner and entrepreneur, I think I’ve really hit on something that has very limited fixed overhead and a chance for someone to really get a business off the ground quickly without a lot of risk.”

An average restaurant is worth around $1,000 in revenue per year to them, so in a well-functioning territory, according to Dinkin, a franchisee can easily handle 300 accounts by them-

Andy Dinkin selves, making a six-figure profit for themselves. The franchisees don’t need a storage space or work van (Dinkin worked out of a Prius) because the products are made to order and are delivered directly to the customer. He thinks this simple yet profitable model will quickly attract entrepreneurs across the country.

Despite these national aspirations, Dinkin says “Charlotte will remain the hub and the home for The Seals.” He plans to use his strength in the Carolinas, where he has teams in every major city, as a training zone for franchisees from other regions to visit and learn the business. This will include an in-house training facility outside of Raleigh at the manufacturing site.

Dinkin grew up in the Washington, D.C. area, but has a loyalty to North Carolina that goes back to his time as an offensive lineman for the Tar Heels. Playing under Mack Brown, Dinkin still keeps in touch with his teammates and says there is a whole network of guys from that era that are hitting the peak of their careers in various fields across the state.

A Festival For The Art & Animal Lover In You If you love art and you’re an animal lover too, the East Carolina Wildlife Arts Festival, held in the public power community of Washington, North Carolina, is one event you won’t want to miss. This annual event was started by a group of Washington-based decoy carvers in the 1990s, to give wood carvers the opportunity to show off their work in a wood carving championship.

Hosted by the Arts of the Pamlico — an arts council for Beaufort and Washington counties — it features the artwork of more than 30 artists, including decoy carvers, painters, and other craftsmen that create all manner of arts and crafts. As the festival’s name implies, the handiwork you’ll experience during this event is chockfull of imagery and themes celebrating the natural beauty and wonder of the abundant wildlife found throughout the state of North Carolina.

In addition to carvings and paintings, the festival also includes elaborate displays created by local hunting and fishing guides. There are also a number of engaging educational presentations, wildlife-themed product displays and other exhibits outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers will definitely appreciate.

And children will have the opportunity to learn the art of decoy painting. The festival runs February 8-9 in downtown Washington.

C2 North Carolina school makes donation to women’s college High Point The president of a North Carolina university says his school is making a $1 million donation to a historically black women’s college trying not to lose its accreditation. High Point University president Nido Qubein announced last week that his school would make the contribution to Bennett College in nearby Greensboro. Qubein said the donation was approved by his school’s faculty and trustees. Bennett set a Friday deadline to raise $5 million to stave off losing its status with the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges. The school said it would accept donations through the weekend and would hold a news conference on Monday to announce the final total.

Last week, the CEO of Papa John’s announced the pizza chain would donate $500,000 to the Bennett fundraising efforts.

Vice Media to cut 10 percent of workforce New York Vice Media is cutting 250 jobs globally as it seeks to achieve profitability. It is the latest round of layoffs as the media industry contracts.

The cuts affect about 10 percent of Vice’s 2,500 staff, said company spokeswoman Danielle Carrig. But she said Vice plans to add jobs as well in departments including sales and digital news as it focuses on its units with potential for growth. The media industry has been facing a wave of layoffs as Facebook and Google gobble up the bulk of digital advertising dollars. Also on Friday, newspaper publisher McClatchy said it will offer voluntary buyouts to 13 percent of its staff, about 450 people. Digital media company BuzzFeed said last week it is cutting 200 people.

Verizon is cutting about 800 jobs in its media division, which includes Yahoo and HuffPost. Vice has grown from a Canadian magazine to a global media company based in New York. Some news outlets reported last year that the privately held company instituted a hiring freeze and might seek a reduction in staff through attrition, but that was not confirmed.

Electrolux consolidating U.S. factories Memphis, TN/Kinston Swedish appliance maker Electrolux said Thursday it plans to stop production within two years at its factory in Memphis, Tennessee, while investing $250 million in a separate facility in the state.

The Stockholm-based maker of Frigidaire products said it is consolidating all U.S. cooking manufacturing into its facility in Springfield, Tennessee. The company had said in March that it was putting its plant expansion in Springfield on hold, citing President Donald Trump’s tariff announcement as the reason.

Springfield is about 30 miles (about 50 kilometers) north of Nashville. Electrolux has said it is increasing investments to drive growth during the next three to four years. Expansion of its facility in Anderson, South Carolina, will include production of refrigeration products beginning this year, Electrolux said. In addition to Springfield and Anderson, Electrolux also has factories in Kinston, North Carolina, and St. Cloud, Minnesota.

The company has said it will be closing the St. Cloud plant by the end of this year, affecting about 900 employees.

Among 2020 Democrats, a debate over ‘Medicare-for-all’

By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar The Associated Press WASHINGTON — “Medicarefor-all” is quickly becoming a rallying cry for many Democratic White House hopefuls, but there are growing questions about how to pull off such a dramatic switch to a government-run health care system.

The debate over scrapping private insurers has heated up in recent days since Democratic Sen. Kamala Harris of California, a supporter of “Medicare-for-all,” told CNN’s Jake Tapper, “Who of us has not had that situation, where you’ve got to wait for approval, and the doctor says, well, I don’t know if your insurance company is going to cover this? Let’s eliminate all of that. Let’s move on.”

But since her nationally televised remarks, several of Harris’ rivals have pointedly spoken about their plans to work toward universal health care in more pragmatic, incremental ways. Those Democrats portray the single-payer health care proposal they’ve backed as only one strategy to achieve universal coverage, while emphasizing the importance of other, less sweeping paths.

Among the skeptics, former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has said “Medicarefor-all” would “bankrupt for us for a very long time.”

Uniting Democrats is a desire to guarantee coverage for all, includ-

ing an estimated 29 million people who remain uninsured. Some are backing a plan that would let people buy into Medicare, with tax credits from the Obama-era Affordable Care Act. At the forefront of the debate is Vermont independent Sen. Bernie Sanders’ ‘Medicare-for-all” bill, which holds out the promise of health care as a right, the potential for national savings from reduced administrative costs and government price-setting, and no more copays, deductibles or surprise medical bills. His plan envisions a four-year transition, phasing in the change by age groups.

Simultaneously, some big tax increases would be taking effect.

But there would be enormous challenges to put in place a single-payer health insurance with the government fully in control of the $3.5 trillion U.S. health care system, experts say. And polls show a looming political problem because many people don’t yet realize it would mean giving up their private coverage. Another issue: Sanders’ office says his plan would cover abortion, a major change from current federal laws and policies.

In addition to Harris, Democratic Senators Cory Booker of New Jersey, Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts have signed onto the Sanders bill.

Gillibrand, who crafted language in Sanders’ bill that allows people to buy nonprofit insur-

ance coverage during the transition, emphasized the importance of that bridge.

“If more people buy into Medicare over whatever your transition period is, you will disrupt the insurance market . because you’ve created more competition for lower prices and quality care,” Gillibrand told The Associated Press.

“What I like about where the Democrats are today is, we have four or five versions of ‘Medicarefor-all’,” she added. “I think we all want to get to single payer. And I think the best way to do it is what I wrote in Sen. Sanders’ bill.”

Booker, who declared his own candidacy on Friday, told a satellite radio show that day that he is “a big believer in ‘Medicare-for all’- but I believe that if we give people a quality public option, we’re going to be able to get more people into the system.”

And Warren, for her part, told Bloomberg TV last week that “multiple bills on the floor in the United States Senate” would accomplish her core priority of ensuring that “every American has health care at a price they can afford.”

Sens. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota and Sherrod Brown of Ohio also describe universal health care as an ultimate goal, but neither has signed onto Sanders’ legislation. Brown has called for the expansion of Medicare to those over 50 as a more workable first step, while Klobuchar said in a recent interview that “on health

care, there’s a lot more that unites us in the Democratic Party.”

“One, we do not want to repeal” Obamacare, she added. “Two, we want to expand Medicaid . three, we want to improve on that as well as get to universal coverage.”

Others are less sanguine about a single-payer approach. “We can’t pay for it, it eliminates choices, most versions...would make private health care coverage for almost all health care needs illegal, and it will diminish quality and access,” said former Maryland Rep. John Delaney.

Among non-candidates, Kathleen Sebelius, former Health and Human Services secretary under President Barack Obama, said Democrats should debate a full range of options.

“I think this is a great opportunity to put plans on the table and hopefully not have an early litmus test that says we only want to talk about one idea,” said Sebelius. “I want to talk about 15 ideas.”

A long-time supporter of single-payer said Democrats should tread carefully. Now retired from political office, former Democratic congressman Jim McDermott of Washington said, “A single-payer system would be best if we had a magic wand, but in the real world it is going to be extraordinarily difficult to make this change.”

The last industrialized nation to transition to a single-payer system was Taiwan in 1995. Princeton health policy analyst TsungMei Cheng, who studied the Taiwan experience, said she believes the Democratic candidates are doing poorly explaining pros and cons.

“I don’t think that the full information that would really help voters is out there,” she said. “You need to offer more specifics, and first of all about financing.”

Small business hiring lags behind larger companies, ADP says

By Joyce M. Rosenberg The Associated Press NEW YORK — New reports from payroll company ADP show that small businesses are lagging behind larger companies in hiring, a trend that’s not expected to change anytime soon.

ADP’s monthly report on small business employment released last week showed companies with up to 49 employees created 63,000 jobs during January. That’s down from an upwardly revised 107,000 in December. ADP counts the jobs at its small business customers in compiling its report.

In a separate report that looked at employment trends in the fourth quarter of 2018, ADP found that small business employment grew 0.5 percent from a year earlier, slower than the 1.7 percent growth at all the companies it tracks.

The tight labor market will continue to limit hiring at small busi-

After college, Dinkin became involved with the Jewish community in Charlotte, where his time as a college athlete made him popular with local sports fans. The Levines, a prominent Charlotte Jewish family, then hired him to help in their real estate business.

“I didn’t go to business school, but after working for a family like that, who would need to?” Dinkin

nesses, ADP said in its report: “This trend will persist as firms find it increasingly difficult to find and hire qualified workers.” It also noted that small companies can be at a competitive disadvantage because they can’t match the salaries and benefits that larger companies provide.

The fourth-quarter report showed the disparity between small and large company compensation. Wages rose 1.9 percent from a year earlier at small businesses, compared to 3.4 percent at companies of all sizes and 4.9 percent at companies with more than 1,000 employees.

Small business owners have said in surveys over the past few years that they’re having a hard time filling their open positions.

In a survey released in November

by Bank of America, 58 percent of the more than 1,000 owners surveyed said they had difficulty in hiring. More than 80 percent said

they have offered bonuses, flexible hours and work locations and other benefits to attract candidates.

Small business hiring in 2018 showed the impact of companies’ struggles to find staffers. ADP tallied an average of nearly 52,000 jobs added each month, down from the 56,000 small businesses added on average each month during 2017. Month to month hiring was erratic last year, and ranged from a gain of 21,000 jobs in August to December’s 107,000.

Hiring was also affected by owners’ discomfort with taking on risk. Staffing strategies changed following the Great Recession, with owners hiring when they had the revenue to justify the expense rather than hiring in anticipation of getting new revenue.

Some owners, mindful of concerns about the economy’s ability to sustain its strong growth, have said they’re slowing their hiring to be on the safe side.

But as the real estate market turned in 2008-2009, Dinkin began to look for other opportunities and purchased a gasket company. He also continued to work in real estate, brokering commercial properties deals and founding a daycare for low-income Charlotte

residents, called Tender Love and Care, that he still co-owns.

Sitting on the board of his synagogue and the Charlotte Torah Center, among other organizations, Dinkin had a big hand in the fundraising that built UNC’s Hillel House for Jewish students and in many other charitable efforts.

In 2019, Dinkin and The Seals will be aggressively pursuing a national franchising plan, and many in the Charlotte-area, at UNC-Chapel Hill and across the Carolinas will be rooting them on.

Super Bowl ad winners: Bud Light, Amazon

By Mae Anderson The Associated Press NEW YORK — This year some of the Super Bowl ads that grabbed the greatest buzz were surprises, like Bud Light’s “Game of Thrones” teaser. Other crowd-pleasers focused on humor, like Amazon’s take on celebrity product testers.

While the New England Patriots bested the L.A. Rams on Sunday in Atlanta during Super Bowl 53, brands were also winning and losing off the field. Some spots, like Google’s ad about its translation service, charmed many viewers.

But others like Mint Mobile’s ad about “chunky milk” fell flat.

BEST Amazon The Amazon ad was an early crowd pleaser when it was released well ahead of the game. Harrison Ford, Forest Whitaker and other celebrities test out rejected Amazon products that feature its Alexa digital assistant, such as a talking electric toothbrush and a dog collar.

Bud Light Bud Light’s crossover with Game of Thrones was a hit because it came as such a surprise. What started out as the “Bud Knight” in a jousting tournament morphs into a promo for the next “Game of Thrones” season.

“It was somewhat confusing at first,” said Mark DiMassimo, chief of ad agency DiMassimo Goldstein. “But it was super engaging and fun and surprising.”

Stella Artois To tout its partnership with Water.org, which helps provide clean water to the developing world, the beer maker shows two 1990s icons giving up their signature drinks for a philanthropy-supporting brew. “The Dude” — a Jeff Bridges character from “The Big Lebowski” —forgoes his White Russian, while Sarah Jessica Parker’s Carrie Bradshaw from “Sex and the City” eschews her cosmopolitan. The 1990s nostalgia was a hit with viewers.

Hulu Hulu kicked off the evening’s

surprises during the first break with an ad that started out like Ronald Reagan’s 1984 campaign ad “Morning in America.” But it was soon revealed to be a teaser for the next season of “The Handmaid’s Tale.” ‘’Wake up America, morning’s over,” a voiceover stated.

“It was a great misdirect and great placement,” DiMassimo said.

Google An ad promoting its Google Translate service pointed out that although “words can hurt and sometimes divide,” the most translated words in the world are “How are you,” ‘’Thank you” and “I love you.”

Kim Whitler, marketing professor at the University of Virginia, said the ad was an example of how the night’s “most powerful ads focused on unity, positivity and commonality.”

“The ad could be confusing.

People might just remember that Mint’s pricing is ‘not right,’” said Northwestern University marketing professor Tim Calkins.

“It combined true emotion, great storytelling, and relevant product innovation with an insight about their category (gaming) as a great equalizer,” DiMassimo said.

5 reasons why autonomous cars aren’t coming anytime soon

By Tom Krisher The Associated Press PITTSBURGH — In the world of autonomous vehicles, Pittsburgh and Silicon Valley are bustling hubs of development and testing. But ask those involved in self-driving vehicles when we might actually see them carrying passengers in every city, and you’ll get an almost universal answer: Not anytime soon.

An optimistic assessment is 10 years. Many others say decades as researchers try to conquer a number of obstacles. The vehicles themselves will debut in limited, well-mapped areas within cities and spread outward.

The fatal crash in Arizona involving an Uber autonomous vehicle in March slowed progress, largely because it hurt the public’s perception of the safety of vehicles. Companies slowed research to be more careful. Google’s Waymo, for instance, decided not to launch a fully autonomous ride-hailing service in the Phoenix area and will rely on human backup drivers to ferry passengers, at least for now.

Here are the problems that researchers must overcome to start giving rides without humans behind the wheel: Snow and weather When it’s heavy enough to cov-

er the pavement, snow blocks the view of lane lines that vehicle cameras use to find their way.

Researchers so far haven’t figured out a way around this. That’s why much of the testing is done in warm-weather climates such as Arizona and California.

Heavy snow, rain, fog and sandstorms can obstruct the view of cameras. Light beams sent out by laser sensors can bounce off snowflakes and think they are obstacles. Radar can see through the weather, but it doesn’t show the shape of an object needed for computers to figure out what it is.

“It’s like losing part of your vision,” says Raj Rajkumar, an electrical and computer engineering professor at Carnegie Mellon University.

Researchers are working on laser sensors that use a different light beam wavelength to see through snowflakes, said Greg McGuire, director of the MCity autonomous vehicle testing lab at the University of Michigan. Software also is being developed so vehicles can differentiate between real obstacles and snowflakes, rain, fog, and other conditions.

But many companies are still trying to master the difficult task of driving on a clear day with steady traction.

“Once we are able to have a system reliably perform in those, then we’ll start working toward expanding to those more chal-

lenging conditions,” said Noah Zych, Uber’s head of system safety for self-driving cars.

Pavement lines and curbs Across the globe, roadway marking lines are different, or they may not even exist. Lane lines aren’t standardized, so vehicles have to learn how to drive differently in each city. Sometimes there aren’t any curbs to help vehicles judge lane width.

For instance, in Pittsburgh’s industrial “Strip District,” where many self-driving vehicles are tested, the city draws lines across the narrow lanes to mark where vehicles should stop for stop signs.

Sometimes the lines are so far back and buildings are so close to the street that autonomous cars can’t see traffic on the cross street if they stop at the line. One workaround is to program vehicles to stop for the line and creep forward.

“Is it better to do a double stop?” asked Pete Rander, president of Argo AI, an autonomous vehicle company in which Ford has invested heavily. “Since intersections vary, it’s not that easy.”

Dealing with human drivers For many years, autonomous vehicles will have to deal with humans who don’t always play by the rules. They double-park or walk

in front of cars. Recently in Pittsburgh, an Argo backup driver had to take over when his car stopped during a right turn, blocking an intersection when it couldn’t immediately decide whether to go around a double-parked delivery truck.

“Even if the car might eventually figure something out, it’s shared space, and it’s socially unacceptable” to block traffic, Rander said.

Humans also make eye contact with other drivers to make sure they’re looking in the right direction, something still being developed for autonomous vehicles.

Add to that the antagonism that some feel toward robots. People have reportedly been harassing Waymo’s autonomous test vehicles near Phoenix. The Arizona Republic reported in December that police is suburban Chandler have documented at least 21 cases in the past two years, including a man waiving a gun at a Waymo van and people who slashed tires and threw rocks. One Jeep forced the vans off the road six times.

Left turns Deciding when to turn left in front of oncoming traffic without a green arrow is one of the more difficult tasks for human drivers and one that causes many crashes. Autonomous vehicles have the same trouble.

Waymo CEO John Krafcik said

in a recent interview that his company’s vehicles are still encountering occasional problems at intersections.

“I think the things that humans have challenges with, we’re challenged with as well,” he said. “So sometimes unprotected lefts are super challenging for a human, sometimes they’re super challenging for us.”

Consumer acceptance The fatal Uber crash near Phoenix last year did more than push the pause button on testing. It also rattled consumers who someday will be asked to ride in self-driving vehicles.

Surveys taken after the Uber crash showed that drivers are reluctant to give up control to a computer. One by AAA found that 73 percent of American drivers would be too fearful to ride in a fully self-driving vehicle. That’s up from 63 percent in late 2017.

Autonomous vehicle companies are showing test passengers information on screens about where the vehicles are headed and what its sensors are seeing. The more people ride, the more they trust the vehicles, says Waymo’s Krafcik.

“After they become more and more confident they rarely look at the screens, and they’re on their phones or relaxing or sleeping,” he said.
