Federal agents have arrested an illegal immigrant from Mexico who was released from custody by Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office after being convicted of felony death by motor vehicle in a drunken-driving incident.

Jose Barajas-Diaz was arrested by ICE on Friday, one week after the sheriff’s office refused to honor an ICE detainer and released him from custody. Barajas-Diaz was convicted on Oct. 24 and given a five-year suspended sentence with credit for time served. The Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office then refused to honor the ICE detainer and released him into the community.

World Series champ Nationals take celebration to White House

By Stephen Whyno The Associated Press WASHINGTON, D.C. — President Donald Trump mostly stuck to sports on Monday while honoring the World Series champion Washington Nationals, who had a handful of players skip the White House visit.

Amid an impeachment inquiry on Capitol Hill and Washington feting its first Major League Baseball champion since 1924, Trump hugged Kurt Suzuki after the catcher put on a “Make America Great Again” hat. Trump re-

ceived a No. 45 Nationals jersey from first baseman Ryan Zimmerman, applauding the team’s first title and calling it a “comeback story for the ages.”

“Everyone fell in love with Nats baseball,” Trump said during the half-hour ceremony on the South Lawn attended by thousands of fans. “That’s all they wanted to talk about — that and impeachment. I like Nats baseball more.”

Master plan for state farmers market gets pushback

By David Larson North State Journal RALEIGH — A master plan for the state farmers market, released by the N.C. Department of Agriculture, was greeted with anger by some supporters of the market’s current design. There were almost 11,000 signatures as of Nov. 5 on a petition to “help protect our Farmer’s Market.”

The petition asks signers to send an email to those making decisions about the future of the location, which sits at the corner of Centennial Parkway and Lake Wheeler Road southwest of downtown Raleigh. The suggested email reads, in part, “I oppose any plans that would fundamentally change the face of the Raleigh State Farmers Market in ways that are not reflective of the mission of the North Carolina Department of Agriculture.”

A statement from Steve Troxler, the commissioner of the N.C. Department of Agriculture, provided to North State Journal acknowledges these concerns. While attempting to assure worried farmers, business owners and consumSee MARKET page A2

“The N.C. Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services understands there is community concern about the future of the State Farmers Market in Raleigh,” Troxler said. “We look forward to working with our vendors and patrons so that the market can reach its full potential.

Case on images of Blackbeard’s ship returns to trial court The Associated Press RALEIGH — A treasure hunter who accuses the state of North Carolina of misusing his images from Blackbeard’s flagship says he’ll ask for 10 times the damages he originally sought, now that a court ruling has come down in his favor.

John Masters of Florida-based Intersal Inc. says he plans to seek $140 million in damages from the state following the ruling Friday from the North Carolina Supreme Court that the case must return to Business Court. He said an expert witness had put Intersal’s losses from the state’s use of more than 2,000 images and more than 200 minutes of film at $129 million. He’s seeking another $11 million for losses over a permit that the state denied him, which would have allowed Intersal to search for a Spanish ship.

“What’s going to happen is — finally, finally, finally — we can get in front of a judge who can rule on the case on its merits,” Masters said in a telephone interview. “That’s all we ever wanted.”

Almost a quarter-century ago, Masters’ father, Philip, discovered the wreckage of the Queen Anne’s Revenge, which ran aground in Beaufort, in what was then the colony of North Carolina, in June 1718. Volunteers with the Royal Navy killed Blackbeard in Ocracoke Inlet that same year.

Intersal found little loot when it located the shipwreck in 1996, but tens of thousands of artifacts have been recovered since then. Intersal and the state have reached two contracts, one in 1998 and another in 2013, that gave the company the rights to photos and videos of the wreck and of the recovery, study and preservation of its historic artifacts.

The company says the state violated the contract by displaying

the vendor locations at fair market rates and the “appraisal values of real estate have dramatically increased.”

The Department of Agriculture contracted with HH Architecture, a Raleigh firm, to create a master plan for the future of the market.

This plan, which was linked to in the press release, said the future site will “[p]rovide a mix of residential options in the form of townhouses, apartments, and condominiums in addition to office and retail spaces.”

The petition was particularly opposed to these residential developments on the property, saying not to “trade our farmers market for luxury, high end, expensive condos !”

In addition to new residences on site, there will be a relocated

In this May 27, 2011 file photo, a 3,000 pound anchor from what is believed to be the wreck of the pirate Blackbeard’s flagship, the Queen Anne’s Revenge, is recovered from the ocean where it has been since 1718, in Beaufort Inlet, in Carteret County N.C. media of artifacts from the ship on websites other than its own without a time-code stamp or watermark.

The state, meanwhile, has created a tourist industry around Blackbeard and his ship since the vessel’s discovery in 1996. That includes exhibits at the North Carolina Maritime Museum in Beaufort, which attracts about 300,000 visitors a year, according to the Queen Anne’s Revenge website. The artifacts, such as a 2,000-pound cannon, also go on tour to other state museums. The state also posts photos and videos on websites and social media sites.

The Friday opinion written by Justice Robin Hudson notes that the state didn’t argue to the Supreme Court that the 2013 agreement was invalid. And it refers to

barn for events, a hotel, retail, taverns and restaurants, and other attractions. Areas bordering the Dorothea Dix Park would connect to that larger property with trails and green spaces maintained in collaboration between the parks.

Those organizing the effort against the master plan also object to the fact that charities like Meals on Wheels and the Interfaith Food Shelter would lose their current locations at the north end of the market property.

In the Department of Agriculture plan, the site would continue to host the farmers market and vendors, but space on the 75-acre property would be shared with many other initiatives. Troxler’s statement also said the plan is likely to change

previous case law to note that the state can’t claim sovereign immunity when it has entered into a valid contract.

The state argued that the plaintiffs had to exhaust administrative remedies before going to court, but the Supreme Court ruled that a specific administrative procedure isn’t part of every contract between the state and a private citizen.

Masters, whose father died in 2007, said he sold his house to continue this court fight.

The court also ruled about a permit for the ship El Salvador, which was reported lost off the coast near Cape Lookout during a storm in 1750. The state declined to renew the plaintiff’s permit to search for the El Salvador. The state Supreme Court ruled that the Business Court

“It is important to remember that any changes will be many years, possibly 25 years or more, down the road,” Troxler said. “Any master plan is the beginning and can change over time based on future demand and the highest and best use of land for the public and vendors.”

The plan would take about $80 million to complete, and Troxler said they do not think this funding will materialize in the near term.

“While no one can be certain what the market will look like in 25 years, our goal is to provide the best possible outcome for people who sell and buy at the market,” Troxler said.

was wrong when it dismissed the claim that the permit denial breached the 2013 settlement agreement between the state and Intersal.

A spokeswoman for the state Department of Natural and Cultural Resources declined to comment.

Meanwhile, the U.S. Supreme Court is scheduled to hear a separate case about Queen Anne’s Revenge on Tuesday. In that case, North Carolina-based Nautilus Productions says the state violated its copyright through use of its photos and videos.

In 2015, the state legislature passed a law that made shipwreck videos and photographs in the state’s custody public records. In its lawsuit, Nautilus argued the law should be declared unconstitutional.

“We look forward to working with our vendors and patrons so that the market can reach its full potential.

The State Farmers Market has done what any responsible organization does and has a plan for its future.”

Trump but are represented in Congress by a House member that voted for the impeachment inquiry.

With Democrats focused on their primaries and impeachment, Cotten said Republicans have been able to get a large head start, and they are seeing results across the country, even in places like Minnesota, New Mexico and Oregon, that were not traditional GOP strongholds.

Cotten said they can help local candidates while also testing infrastructure in a “dry run” a year out from the president’s reelection race. The early test will give them plenty of time to adjust and to strategically apply resources based on what they learn.

She said that after the 2012 race, the GOP learned from their loss and from Barack Obama’s data program to create a new ground-game strategy. Michael Whatley, state GOP chairman, said the new data system has revolutionized what being a campaign volunteer entails.

“We’re on with the Trump RNC data center and we’re working with the best data that Republican candidates have ever had, making that available across the state,” Whatley said.

Whatley said the party is using two apps — Advantage for walking and door-knocking, and Red Dialer for phone banking.

“It’s really amazing. It gives you all the information on each house, who the voters are (Republican, Democrat, Independent), how many times they vote, whether they’ve already had field teams there or not,” Whatley said.

Sharon Pace of Apex, a volunteer at the phone bank, described to NSJ her experience making calls.

“People are receptive, but you have to be calm and a good listener, especially when people say things you may not agree with,” said Pace. On whether people seemed open to reelecting Trump, she added, “I think people actually have more excitement to vote for him this time because of what is happening to

veterans and supports gay rights, did not attend the event. Also among those not listed as attending were National League MVP candidate Anthony Rendon, outfielders Victor Robles and Michael A. Taylor, and pitchers Joe Ross, Javy Guerra and Wander Suero.

Principal owner Mark Lerner was the only member of the ownership group listed as attending.

Eighteen of the 25 players on Washington’s World Series roster were in attendance, including World Series MVP Stephen Strasburg, who opted out of the final four years of his contract but could re-sign for a more lucrative deal. Fans chanted “Four more years! Four more years” at Strasburg.

Despite Suzuki trading in the Nationals’ curly “W’’ for Trump’s signature hat and Zimmerman thanking the president for keeping the country safe and making it the best on earth, the Nationals’ visit did not have as much political undertone as when the 2018 champion Boston Red Sox visited the White House. They did so without manager Alex Cora, who did not attend that ceremony after citing his frustration with the administration’s efforts to help his native Puerto Rico recover from a devastating hurricane.

Washington manager Dave Martinez, whose parents are Puerto Rican, was in attendance and made some brief remarks to the delight of fans and players. Trump called it a record crowd, saying, “We’ve never had this many people on the front lawn of the White House.” The White House estimated an attendance of 5,300.

The U.S. Marine Corps band played the team into the ceremony with “Baby Shark,” which became the Nationals’ unofficial theme song as they went from 17-31 in May to World Series champions.

“It’s miraculous what we did,” NL Championship Series MVP Howie Kendrick said. “We brought a title back.”

After Trump singled out Strasburg, Kendrick, pitcher Aníbal Sánchez and other playoff heroes, players exited with the World Series trophy to the strains of «We Are the Champions.”

The Nationals’ White House visit was the latest stop on their whirlwind victory tour around the nation’s capital after coming back from a 3-2 series deficit to beat the Houston Astros in Game 7 last week. The team paraded down Constitution Avenue on Saturday and celebrated at the Washington Capitals hockey game Sunday night.

This message of Trump being unfairly targeted by the media and the Democratic impeachment inquiry, despite keeping major campaign promises, was consistent from GOP leaders.

“We’re exactly a year out from the election, and you look at the first three years of the president’s term, promises made, promises kept,” Whatley said. “You look at all the pledges that he made: tax cuts, check; rebuild the military, check; unleash the economy, check.”

Whatley said Democrats have nothing to respond to this record with and instead want to prevent the president’s reelection by impeaching him from office.

“Candidates have said that if they can’t impeach the president, chances are, he’ll win,” Whatley said. “That’s why they’re moving forward with impeachment.”

GOP leaders also repeated a common Trump line that the African American and Hispanic unemployment rates are at historic lows. Whatley said this outreach to minority communities, especially around criminal justice and employment, is seeing “tangible results.”

The room of volunteers at the watch party was around half African American,

lending some anecdotal validity to his claim.

Jonathan Sink, executive director of the N.C. GOP, pointed to the numbers in Robeson County, a minority-majority county that surprised political analysts by gaining significant GOP votes in the NC-9 race.

“It was almost 50-50 — that’s historic,” Sink said. “They’re trending our way.

It shows how we are just making such considerable gains in rural areas that five or 10 years ago we would have said, it’s not going to work out.”

Asked if they had concerns about the impeachment process affecting the elections, Whatley and Sink agreed that there was nothing to the accusations.

“The impeachment stuff is just a distraction,” Sink said. “If it was actually about Ukraine, they’d be talking about Hunter Biden, but they’re not.”

“It doesn’t have any validity,” said Whatley. “We spent three years on the Russia hoax, and we found out after $30 million worth of investigations that there was nothing there. Mueller testified that there are no charges forthcoming, so they take an eraser, take out Russia, flip over the pencil and write Ukraine.”

Lacking magic of Senate run, Beto O’Rourke drops presidential bid The Associated Press WASHINGTON, D.C. — Beto O’Rourke, the former Texas congressman, announced Friday that he was ending his Democratic presidential campaign, which failed to recapture the enthusiasm, interest and fundraising prowess of his 2018 Senate bid.

Addressing supporters in Iowa, O’Rourke said he made the decision “reluctantly” and vowed to stay active in the fight to defeat President Donald Trump. “I will be part of this and so will you,” he said.

O’Rourke was urged to run for president by many Democrats, including supporters of former President Barack Obama, who were energized by his narrow Senate loss last year in Texas, a reliably Republican state. He raised a record $80 million from donors across the country, visited every county in Texas and used social media and livestreaming video to engage directly with voters. He ultimately lost to incumbent Republican Sen. Ted Cruz by 3 percentage points.

But O’Rourke, 47, struggled to replicate that model in the presidential primary, and both his polling and his fundraising dwindled significantly in recent months.

“We have to clearly see, at this point, that we did not have the means to pursue this campaign successfully and that my service will not be as a candidate, nor as a nominee of this party for the presidency,” O’Rourke said.

O’Rourke’s decision comes as the Democratic primary enters a critical stretch. With three months until the kickoff Iowa caucuses, polls consistently show a trio of candidates leading the way: former Vice President Joe Biden, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, with Pete Buttigieg, the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, showing strength in Iowa, as well.

Lower polling candidates face difficult questions about whether they have the money to sustain a campaign through the first primary contests.

Earlier this week, Kamala Harris, another candidate who entered the race to much fanfare, announced she was downscaling her campaign, laying off some staffers and reorienting almost exclusively to focus on Iowa.

O’Rourke entered the race as the feel-good, dynamic candidate who had the ability to appeal to both Republicans and Democrats and work across the aisle in Wash-

But he immediately faced criticism that he had a sense of entitlement, particularly after the release of a Vanity Fair interview on the eve of his campaign launch in which he appeared to say he was “born” to be in presidential politics.

After quickly pulling in $9.4 million during his first two weeks in the race, O’Rourke’s financial situation deteriorated. By the end of June, he was spending more than his campaign was taking in.

By the end of September, he had just $3.2 million cash on hand while spending double that over the previous three months, campaign finance records show.

Perhaps more significantly, the small-dollar contributions that fueled his Senate bid and the early days of his presidential campaign slowed to a $1.9 million trickle.

The former congressman also struggled to articulate a consistent vision and messaging as a presidential candidate.

He spent several weeks trying to build his campaign around cli-

Cancel culture: What goes around, comes around

By A.P. Dillon North State Journal RALEIGH — Television shows or sporting events get canceled all the time for a variety of reasons, but in the last few years, some cancelations have been the result of coordinated campaigns based on hyper-political correctness.

The phenomenon known as “cancel culture” has swept from state to state and country to country for a number of years now.

Cancel culture is an aggressive form of public shaming where a person, group, company or even a product is set upon by an internet mob for having committed some offense, usually highly-subjective nature. Cancel culture can also involve what is known as “de-platforming,” where a website, venue or hosting entity is pressured to drop a user or cancel a scheduled entertainer or invited speaker.

Cancel culture campaigns have often targeted conservatives, such as calling for the firing of conservative commentators Laura Ingraham and Rush Limbaugh.

But it’s not just conservatives.

Cancel culture has also set its eyes on the progressives and iconic figures that were off limits in the past. Recently cancel culture even tried to come for Gandhi over his past views on sexuality and race.

In the true spirit of “what goes around, comes around,” cancel culture has taken down those who were once doing the taking down. Such was the case with Des Moines Register reporter Aaron Calvin.

Calvin exposed racist tweets by

Stockpiles of pork near 48 year high

“When I say be kind to one another, I don’t mean be kind to the people who think the same way you do. I mean be kind to everyone.”

Ellen Degeneres a man named Carson King, a beer fan who had received millions in donations from strangers after a joke plea for beer money went viral. King donated the money to charity, but after the tweets surfaced, he was forced to apologize and became the object of public ridicule.

King was only 16 years old when he made those tweets, and backlash ensued. The reporter, who was once hailed for exposing King, was now the target of internet ire.

Statements made by Calvin were exposed, including a racial slur and the mocking of same-sex marriage and domestic abuse. Calvin was subsequently fired.

Cancel culture is not just a phenomenon happening in other parts of the country — it’s happening in North Carolina.

The probation for the Stanly County cheerleaders over a Trump sign, the destruction of Confederate statutes, or Rep. Duane Hall’s ouster as a casualty of the #MeToo movement can all be considered forms of cancel culture.

In 2017, Charlotte City Councilwoman Dimple Amjera said in

a television interview that Trump supporters have “no place” in the Charlotte government. The following year, the Durham City Council attempted to deplatform Canadian professor Jordan Peterson from his show at DPAC and passed a resolution to block Durham police from training with Israel.

In June of this year, Durham City Councilwoman and Mayor Pro-Tem Jillian Johnson, in a now-deleted tweet, took aim at local area companies doing business with the Customs and Border Patrol.

But North Carolina is unique, as the state had a front row seat to the emergence of cancel culture during the fight over House Bill 2, the bill which blocked a Charlotte ordinance that dismantled sex-segregated bathrooms for men and women and created new requirements for government contractors.

And what goes around has come around for the NBA after pulling the All-Star game from Charlotte in July 2016 over HB2.

While the NBA was willing to hurt the Charlotte economy to punish the state over House Bill 2, the NBA was not willing to punish China for its treatment of the citizens in Hong Kong. The result has been calls for the NBA to be boycotted, for players to be fired and for the NBA as a whole to apologize for their defense of Communist China.

In a letter to the NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, Missouri Senator Josh Hawley called out the league for “kowtowing to the demands of one of the world’s most

sault weapons away from existing owners.

As O’Rourke’s standing in the presidential primary plummeted, some Democrats urged him to return to Texas for another Senate run. He has repeatedly denied having any interest in that race.

O’Rourke’s decision came hours before he was supposed to join other Democratic contenders at a party dinner in Iowa. Campaign volunteers were still collecting voter information and handing out “Beto” stickers” outside the event amid a steady rain as the candidate announced he was dropping out.

O’Rourke did not endorse another Democrat for the nomination, saying the country will be well served by any of the other candidates, “and I’m going to be proud to support whoever that nominee is.”

Trump quickly weighed in on O’Rourke’s exit, saying in a tweet: “Oh no, Beto just dropped out of race for President despite him saying he was ‘born for this.’ I don’t think so!”

brutal regimes in the pursuit of profit.”

Liberal comedian Ellen DeGeneres was recently targeted by activists after she was seen at a Dallas Cowboys game appearing friendly with former President George W. Bush. Responding to the ridicule, DeGeneres said on her television show, “We’re all different. And I think that we’ve forgotten that that’s OK that we’re all different.”

She pushed back that just because she disagrees with someone doesn’t mean she can’t be friends with them. “When I say be kind to one another, I don’t mean be kind to the people who think the same way you do. I mean be kind to everyone,” she said.

While DeGeneres took the high ground in response to the cancel culture mob, fellow liberal Joy Behar, co-host of ABC’s “The View,” said she couldn’t support being friendly with Bush. “So it’s not only about disagreeing with somebody, which I certainly understand …

It’s more than that,” she said. “I always said I didn’t want to get to know George W. Bush because I knew I would like him. I knew I would because he seems like a likable kind of guy.”

With cancel culture in full swing, former President Barack Obama has decided to weigh in, calling out “woke” activists.

“This idea of purity and you’re never compromised and you’re always politically woke, and all that stuff, you should get over that quickly,” Obama said. “The world is messy. There are ambiguities.

People who do really good stuff have flaws. People who you are fighting may love their kids and share certain things with you.”

Obama went on to criticize cancel culture on college campuses and those who participate in constant online outrage saying “That’s not activism. That’s not bringing about change.”

RALEIGH — With near record-high stockpiles of pork belly on hand and African swine fever hitting Asia and parts of Europe, the U.S. appears well-suited to reap large profits in pork exports.

According to the most recent data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture last Tuesday, the stockpiles of pork belly are close to the highest levels in 48 years, reaching close to 40 million pounds. Back in August, stockpiles of pork belly, which is the cut used for bacon, reached 45 million pounds.

Export sales of pork began to rise sharply in October, with China, Japan, Korea and Mexico leading the purchases according to the USDA’s Oct. 24 export report. Traders and financial analysts theorize that the drastic increases in the importing of pork may bring about a shortage of pork domestically.

The increase in stockpiles and the production of pork over the summer months is likely linked to increased demand from China, after outbreaks of African swine fever killed nearly 100 million pigs.

Scientists from the World Organization for Animal Health have estimated that further outbreaks could result in a third of China’s pig population being decimated and that the African swine fever could kill a quarter of the world’s pig population.

President of the World Organization for Animal Health, Dr. Mark Schipp, told reporters in a briefing at the end of October, that a large reduction in the world’s pig population would lead to possible food and pork product shortages as well as high pork prices.

Schipp called it the “biggest threat to any commercial livestock of our generation.”

There is no vaccination for African swine fever which only affects pigs. Those infected with the disease have a 100% mortality rate.

The disease is financially devastating for a farm that has an outbreak because once a pig with the fever is identified, the entire stock of pigs has to be destroyed.

The USDA reported in 2018 that U.S. pork exports totaled over 5.3 billion pounds and were worth around $6.392 billion. As of Sept. 1, 2019, there are around 9.5 million pigs being raised in North Carolina on over 2,100 farms across the state.

As the second largest pork producer in the United States, North Carolina’s pork exports are currently worth around $650 million. The pork industry in North Carolina generates $3 billion in income and $8 billion in annual sales according to the NC Pork Council.

Around 10% of America’s pork exports come from North Carolina, according to the USDA data, but an increased export demand could result in temporarily higher export ratio.

So far, there has not been an outbreak of African swine fever in the United States and the USDA does not allow importing of pork products from countries where outbreaks have occurred.

In March of this year, the USDA APHIS Veterinary Services released a response model detailing strict reporting and quarantine procedures. Last month, North Carolina was among 14 states who participated in USDA sponsored preparedness training related to African swine fever.

Outbreaks of the fever are not limited to China and have spread throughout central Asia into Cambodia, Mongolia, Thailand, Myanmar and even the Philippines. Russia has also reported 60 outbreaks in both domestic pigs and wild boars along the China-Russian border.

Countries like Bulgaria have seen 30 outbreaks while pig farms in Slovakia, Poland and Romania have also been hit According to the World Animal Health Information Database (WAHIS) Interface, the majority of cases in Bulgaria’s outbreak involved wild boars.

A least 10 European countries had outbreaks, as reported by the European Union Commission over the summer. In the World Organization for Animal Health’s October update, 24 countries are cited as having outbreaks, with 12 of those being in Europe.

Scaled-down utility finance measure heads to NC governor

North Carolina companies that produce and process turkey are an integral part of the state’s economy. Turkey producers along with the companies that provide supplies and materials to the industry provide well-paying jobs in the state and pay significant amounts in taxes to state and federal governments. Most recent data for turkey production ranked NC second in turkey production by number of head (32.5 million), but first in pounds (1.14 billion) and farm gate value ($739.02 million).

The Associated Press RALEIGH — The General Assembly has finalized legislation that would let utilities like Duke Energy issue bonds to pay for storm recovery costs in North Carolina. But an idea the company also lobbied for allowing it to seek multiyear rates from regulators ultimately got left out.

The Senate voted unanimously for a scaled-back measure on Wednesday, one

day after the House voted the same way.

The bill now heads to Gov. Roy Cooper’s desk.

But the House was divided on the multiyear rate option, and Cooper had signaled he’d veto the bill if the provision remained.

Wildlife officials: Bear found dead, bound

Repairs to aging bridge could close interstate for 5 days Haywood County Emergency repairs to a bridge could shut down a portion of an interstate for up to five days. The North Carolina Department of Transportation said a contractor will replace concrete on the bridge over Jonathan Creek and White Oak Road on I-40 West. The interstate will be closed from the U.S. 276 interchange to the Tennessee state line.

The closure could take place any time between Nov. 6 and Nov. 22. NCDOT says residents will receive notice at least 24 hours before the closure begins. The bridge opened in 1966 and last received significant upgrades 11 years ago.

Niagara Falls economics

99.99992% of all annual revenue flowing into Microsoft would have gone to tens of thousands of people not named Bill Gates.

FAR-LEFT DEMOCRATS scoff at the term “trickle-down economics.” To them, it is simply incomprehensible that capitalism benefits anyone other than rich people at the top.

The term comes from humorist Will Rogers, not Ronald Reagan.

During the Great Depression in 1932, Rogers joked about the failed policies of President Herbert Hoover: “The money was all appropriated for the top in the hopes that it would trickle down to the needy. Hoover was an engineer. He knew that water trickled down. Put it uphill and let it go and it will reach the driest little spot.”

Critics of President Reagan’s tax cuts in 1981 seized upon the phrase to deride the supply-side economics of his policies which were designed to get the U.S. out of the worst recession since the 1930s, which it did.

The phrase has remained a derogatory favorite of liberals ever since.

If “trickle-down economics” is not the appropriate way to describe how wealth is distributed in a free market economy, what is? Can wealth “trickle up” the economic ladder if there is not a lot of individual wealth at the bottom to begin with?

No one ever goes to a poor person to ask for a loan to start a business or get a job. No money, no economic formation, no growth.

How about calling it “trickle-around economics?” “Trickle-out economics,” perhaps?

One friend suggests “Niagara Falls economics.” He might have a point.

The waterfall of wealth that cascades from the success of any successful entrepreneur, especially those among the magnitude of Bill Gates starting Microsoft, goes overwhelmingly to employees, shareholders and the consuming public. One hundred percent of the wealth generated does not go solely to the individual with the idea who took the risk to start the business at any level of endeavor.

Bill Gates is estimated to be worth more than $100 billion according to press reports. However, it is only 10% of the total market value of Microsoft. Microsoft has a stock market value of more than $1 trillion.

Of that, $900 billion in Microsoft stock value is owned by millions of shareholders either directly or through mutual funds in their personal

IRAs and 401(k) retirement plans.

It is like a reverse tithe. 90% to others; 10% for me.

Close to all of Microsoft shareholders had absolutely nothing to do with the success of Microsoft that increased their net worth other than deciding to invest in Microsoft.

How great is that? Americans can literally get wealthy doing nothing but investing in others who do all the hard work and assume all personal risk.

Microsoft’s annual revenues are $125 billion with a net income of around $50 billion. During his role as CEO, Gates may have earned $10 million in salary. Every other dollar earned by Microsoft would have gone to pay employee salary and benefits such as health care and retirement plans; vendors for services rendered, lawyers and accountants, distribute profits as dividends to shareholders, and, yes, pay taxes to state and federal governments to fund programs many people depend on such as Medicare, Social Security and Medicaid.

99.99992% of all annual revenue flowing into Microsoft would have gone out to tens of thousands of people not named Bill Gates.

How great is that? Had Bill Gates never been born like George Bailey in “It’s a Wonderful Life,” Microsoft might not have been invented in America but rather in India or Japan, and the wealth generated would have flowed through the economy there, not here.

Successful businesspeople are better than having Michael Jordan, LeBron James or Zion Williamson on your basketball team. Not only do they help you win in life with better products and services, you get to share in the wealth they create — unlike basketball players, who keep all the big salaries to themselves.

“Niagara Falls economics” works for all of us. Anyone who has run a lemonade stand understands the basic concepts of a lot of people benefiting from one person’s personal dreams and investment. Don’t let the socialists ruin it for everyone.

Beto O’Rourke’s gun confiscation proposal could not save his foundering campaign

When presented with a hypothetical about a rancher who thought his plan was unconstitutional and who refused to turn his AR-15 or AK-47 over to the government, O’Rourke noted that “in that case, I think there would be a visit by law enforcement to recover that firearm.”

BETO O’ROURKE jumped into the Democratic presidential race in March to much fanfare.

He had run a spirited campaign against Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) in 2018, showing off a fundraising prowess that impressed former President Barack Obama, who met with him privately in late 2018, reportedly to counsel him on a possible presidential run.

O’Rourke posted impressive fundraising numbers the very first day, and polls taken in the immediate aftermath showed he could be a viable contender for the nomination.

But after that first week, things went south. Fast.

The voter enthusiasm that he carried with him during his 2018 Senate run didn’t seem to be there anymore. He struggled to fill campaign events. He appeared humbled in early interviews after being accused of having “white privilege.”

The same national media that had breathlessly followed his 2018 Senate run had moved on to the next shiny new young Democratic candidate: South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg.

No matter how “woke” O’Rourke tried to be with the Democratic base of voters in the months that followed, nothing worked.

In August after a horrific mass shooting that left 22 dead and two dozen more injured in his hometown of El Paso, O’Rourke relaunched his campaign and made what he called a gun buyback program central to his platform.

Democratic commentators and critics noticed a renewed focus and passion as he stumped for votes and applauded him for taking a stance against private ownership of AR-15s and AK-47s that was politically very risky for a guy from Texas.

“Hell yes” he stated after a question during a September debate about whether he was proposing taking away certain guns.

In spite of that answer, he struggled in media interviews even from Democrat-friendly outlets when pressed on the details of his plan. Yes, he was proposing taking away guns, he would say in so many words, but people would be compensated for them. That’s why, he said, it was a “buyback” program.

Except the government buying something “back” implies that they owned the property to begin with. The government never owned the guns they’d be “buying back.”

Second Amendment advocates definitely saw through it. Even other Democratic candidates for president criticized the plan, though they were quick to say they admired O’Rourke’s commitment to wanting to “solve the gun problem” after what happened in El Paso.

What was the enforcement mechanism? When asked about this, O’Rourke was vague on specifics but assured people watching that law enforcement would not be knocking on doors to confiscate the weapons of those who did not comply.

In the final weeks of his campaign, however, he became more forthright about how his plan would be implemented. When presented with a hypothetical about a rancher who thought his plan was unconstitutional and who refused to turn his AR-15 or AK-47 over to the government, O’Rourke noted that “in that case, I think there would be a visit by law enforcement to recover that firearm.”

Though O’Rourke is out of the race, two other candidates for president endorsed his gun confiscation plan. Sens. Kamala Harris (Calif.) and Cory Booker (N.J.) both went on record as being in agreement with him on gun confiscation, but they’ve offered no details about it on their respective websites. Their campaigns, too, are running out of gas.

It would appear that not even Democratic voters, people who are much more likely to be on board with putting limits on 2nd Amendment rights than Republicans, find such plans appealing enough to support the candidates who propose them.

“We have to clearly see at this point that we do not have means to pursue this campaign successfully,” O’Rourke told a crowd of supporters Friday.

Clearly, he didn’t have the ideas to pursue a successful campaign, either.

A WORLD BANK study of government regulations found that there are five countries around the world where it’s easier to do business than the United States: New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong, Denmark and South Korea.

The study based their ratings on a dozen factors such as the ease of starting a business and employing workers to enforcing contracts

and trading across borders. The sixth-place ranking of the United States this year is a slight improvement over its eighth-place finish a year ago.

Interestingly, despite all the concerns expressed by many about Brexit, the United Kingdom is rated as No. 8 on the list this year.

That’s better than some major EU countries such as Germany (22) and France (32).

Disproportionalities: Whose fault?

GUEST OPINION | BOBBY HURST

New North Carolina poll demonstrates wide support for higher education reforms In North Carolina, almost half of the students at four-year colleges are taking six years to graduate, according to the U.S. Department of Education.

DESPITE THE PARTISAN DEBATE over higher education, a new North Carolina poll indicates a growing consensus for Congress to adopt a series of measures aimed at increasing higher education accountability to ensure that the degrees students earn provide value.

A poll of 600 likely 2020 voters in North Carolina found voters across the political aisle in agreement that more federal oversight of higher education is needed to ensure student success. They expect college grads to at least make enough to repay their student loans, for instance. They believe institutions should do more to improve graduation rates.

“There is widespread support in North Carolina for implementing stronger federal guardrails across the entire system to make sure that both students and taxpayers are getting a real return on their huge investment in higher education,” said Angela Kuefler, a senior vice president at Global Strategy Group, the research firm that conducted the poll.

The poll comes as Congress considers reauthorizing the Higher Education Act, which was first adopted in 1965 to offer college students financial assistance.

Congress periodically reauthorizes the legislation with amendments that affect college and universities and their students.

Improving access to higher education has been thrust back into the forefront by presidential candidates, particularly those seeking the Democratic nomination for next year’s nationwide election.

Political prognosticators find it convenient to place Democrats as only interested in making college free, and Republicans as only willing to embrace less federal oversight and permit the free market to determine how best to deliver postsecondary education.

However, there is an effort to deliver consensus on critical reforms to our nation’s higher education system, and leaders in Congress — including members of the North Carolina delegation playing critical roles — are poised to address these concerns during the forthcoming reauthorization of the Higher Education Act. Above all, advocates and leaders in Congress are pursuing a comprehensive set of reforms to make sure the money taxpayers, students and families spend on

higher education is worth it.

This new poll reveals a path forward for Republicans and Democrats to find common ground on improving the quality of the higher education system in the U.S. for students.

More than 66% of survey respondents believe the federal government should provide basic safeguards to help ensure students are discouraged from taking out loans to attend predatory institutions. More the three-quarters agree the government should better ensure students succeed in higher education, such as graduating and earning degrees that generally pay more than those with only high school diplomas.

In North Carolina, almost half of the students at four-year colleges are taking six years to graduate, according to the U.S. Department of Education.

Students are also accumulating a record amount of student debt, but many are not earning enough income from their new jobs to adequately pay off that debt.

Currently, 72% of North Carolina graduates are unable to begin paying down their student loans within three years of enrollment.

Other findings include: 53 percent strongly support (66 percent among Democrats and 44 percent among Republicans) increasing investment in the Pell Grant program to help more low- and moderate-income families send their children to college; 53 percent strongly support (51 percent among Democrats and 53 percent among Republicans) making it harder for a for-profit school to convert to nonprofit status through accounting changes that avoid some regulations; and 49 percent strongly support (49% among Democrats and 54% among Republicans) prohibiting institutions from accessing federal financial aid such as grants and loans if their graduation rate is less than 15%.

“Voters from North Carolina believe having a wellfunctioning higher education system is crucial to the broader success of our economy, which is why they are hungry for a greater return on our significant federal investment in this area,” Kuefler said.

JEWS HAVE BEEN awarded 40% of the Nobel Prizes in economics, 30% of those in medicine, 25% in physics, 20% in chemistry, 15% in literature and 10% of the Nobel Peace Prizes.

Since the beginning of the 20th century, there have been just over 900 Nobel Prizes awarded. Since Jews are only 2% of the world’s population, instead having 22% of Nobel Prizes, 206, they should have won only two, according to the proportionality vision of justice.

There’s an even greater domestic violation of the proportionality vision.

Jews are less than 3% of the U.S. population but 35% of American Nobel Prize winners. Several questions come to mind. Does the disproportionately high number of Jewish winners explain why there are so few black or Hispanic Nobel Prize winners?

Who’s to blame for ethnic disproportionality among Nobel Prize winners, and what can be done to promote social justice?

Proportionality injustice doesn’t end with the Nobel Prize. Blacks are about 13% of the U.S. population but close to 70% of the players in the National Football League. Blacks are greatly overrepresented among star players and highly paid players. While the disproportionality injustice runs in favor of black players in general, they are all but nonexistent among the league’s field goal kickers and punters.

Perhaps the only reason football team owners are not charged with hiring discrimination is that the same people who hire quarterbacks and running backs also hire field goal kickers and punters. Proportionality and diversity injustice is worse in the National Basketball Association, with blacks being more than 80% of the players. Plus, it’s not uncommon to watch college basketball games and see that 90% to 100% of the starting five players are black.

Most readers know that I teach economics at George Mason University and have done so for nearly 40 years. However, that doesn’t mean the field of economics doesn’t have its problems. Many see economics as neither a welcoming nor a supportive profession for women or blacks. Former Federal Reserve Board Chair Janet Yellen, in addressing a Brookings Institution audience said: “Within the economics profession, women and minorities are significantly underrepresented.

And data compiled by the American Economic Association’s Committees on the Status of Women in the Economics Profession and the Status of Minority Groups in the profession show that there has been little or no progress in recent decades.

Women today make up only about 30 percent of doctoral students. Within academia, their representation drops the higher up one goes on the career ladder. The share of doctorates awarded to African Americans is low; and it has declined slightly in recent decades.” Yellen says that diversity in economics is a matter of “basic justice.”

Had I been in the audience, I would have asked Yellen whether there’s basic justice in the nursing field, where less than 10% of nurses are men. What about the gross lack of proportionality in incarceration?

According to 2015 figures released by the Bureau of Justice Statistics, the overall U.S. prison and jail population is 90.6% male and 9.4% female. The only way that I see to remedy such a gross disproportionality injustice is to either incarcerate more female prisoners or release male prisoners.

Back to Janet Yellen: It is pathetic and professionally incompetent that she can ignore decades of research — some of it by female researchers — that shoots down the idea that disparities prove discrimination.

Moreover, if one carries the notion that disparities prove discrimination far enough, they’d look like true fools.

According to a study conducted by Bond University in Australia, sharks are nine times likelier to attack and kill men than they are women.

Despite the fact that men are 50% of the population, and so are women, men are struck by lightning six times as often as women. Of those killed by lightning, 82% are men. One can only wonder what social justice warriors would do about these and many other disproportionalities.

Christian Keeling, who tranferred from Charleston Southern to join North Carolina, is expected to provide secondary scoring for the Tar Heels.

By Brett Friedlander North State Journal CHAPEL HILL — Roy Williams is as old-school as a coach can get when it comes to the makeup of his basketball team.

He prefers upperclassmen to freshmen, homegrown talent to transfers and a traditional inside-out alignment over the increasingly popular positionless approach.

And yet, as much success as he’s achieved by adhering to those tried-and-true values — including three national championships — Williams is enough of a realist to know that sometimes you have to change with the times.

His current roster is the prime example.

While the core is comprised of five upperclassmen that have been in the program their entire careers, the Hall of Fame coach has taken a detour onto some nontraditional avenues in an effort to restock a roster that lost its top five scorers to graduation and early entry into the NBA Draft.

Among the six newcomers he’s brought in for 2019-20, likely four of them — two potential one-anddone freshmen and a pair of graduate transfers — won’t wear Carolina blue for more than a single season.

“I still like being able to coach kids for quite a while,” Williams

By Shawn Krest North State Journal

said at a media availability this summer. “I’ve got a wonderful situation because some kids come here and like to stay around, and at the same time, I try to recruit those (one-and-done) guys. I just didn’t get many of them.”

While Williams did swing and miss on a lot of top prospects during the four-year period in which his program was being investigated — and subsequently cleared — by the NCAA, his luck with them has changed considerably over the past three years.

First there was Tony Bradley, who became UNC’s first freshman in nearly a decade to leave after one season in 2017. Last year, the Tar Heels had two one-anddones in point guard Coby White and wing Nassir Little.

Anticipating White’s departure, Williams went out and got

DURHAM — For most of the preseason, Duke was defined by who wasn’t there, more than who was.

The Zion Williamson Show & Traveling Circus has closed.

“They enjoyed it last year,” assistant coach Nolan Smith said. “But it’s definitely going to be a different feel. It’s obvious. Everybody’s like, ‘Oh, there’s not as much attention on us.’

It might be a little bit better to just go out and play basketball instead of walking into every single arena and home game and when Zion does a layup, everybody’s like, ‘Oooh!’”

Suddenly, it seems like Duke has gone from being college basketball’s version of One Direction to college basketball’s version of ZZ Top. Indeed, after nearly 10 years of going the boy band route, there’s a classic rock vibe to this year’s Blue Devils.

“Each group is different,” coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “We could get away with some things because of our talent level last year. With this group, we kind of do it more old-fashioned. We have the blend of old and new. I really like the group and that dynamic of guys who’ve been through it.”

The rumors of a change in approach started almost as soon as Duke was eliminated from the NCAA Tournament by Michigan State in March, falling short of a berth in the Final Four.

Coach K was backing away from the oneand-done model he’d used since Kyrie Irving came to Durham in 2011. After a never-ending string of NBA lottery picks produced one title in 2015 and with the one-and-done rule seemingly an endangered species, doomed to disappear with the next collective bargaining agreement, Krzyzewski was going to focus on the next tier of prospect — guys who he could count on to stick around for a while.

Point guard Tre Jones underscored the new approach by choosing to come back to Duke for a second year and match his brother Tyus with a title.

It’s far from a clean break, however. It’s doubtful that freshman center Vernon Carey Jr. or power forward Matthew Hurt are making sure they take the proper prerequisites for the courses they plan on taking next year. And fellow freshman forward Wendell Moore likely isn’t destined to give a Senior Day speech either.

Still, there’s more of an age-defined hierarchy than in previous years.

“Javin (Delaurier) and Jack (White) help these younger guys,” Krzyzewski said of his senior big men and, with Jones, team tri-captains. “What are you gonna help Zion with?

(He and Barrett) were arguably the two best.

Willie Taggart: The second-year Florida State football coach was fired Sunday, less than 24 hours after the Seminoles lost to rival Miami and with the team in danger of missing a bowl game for the second consecutive season.

Kellen Winslow Jr.: The former NFL player pleaded guilty Monday to raping an unconscious teen in 2003 and to sexual battery involving a 54-year-old hitchhiker in a deal that spared him the possibility of life in prison. In exchange for his plea, the court agreed to sentence him to between 12 and 18 years in prison for the two charges and dismiss the others.

In June, a jury found him guilty of raping a homeless woman in Encinitas.

Denny Hamlin: The Joe Gibbs racing driver is putting off surgery to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder that has bothered him for some time while he tries to win his first NASCAR Cup championship.

Hamlin said Friday that he doesn’t know what caused the injury, but that it hasn’t affected him while driving the No. 11 Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing. After the pending surgery, Hamlin said he will be ready for the 2020 season-opening Daytona 500. He said the recovery time will be 10 weeks; qualifying at Daytona is Feb. 9, which is 12 weeks after Nov. 17 finale at Homestead.

TAR HEELS from page B1 yet another five-star playmaker destined to be an early first round pick next spring in Cole Anthony. He also added highly regarded big man Armando Bacot, who is likely to join Anthony in the 2020 draft if he lives up to his advance billing.

“I’d love to have one or two of those guys on every team because you like to have talent,” Williams says. “And talent helps you win.”

But so does experience, and since only one of UNC’s returning players — junior forward Garrison Brooks — has performed more than a supporting role in his college career, Williams has sought outside help to ensure a veteran presence on the floor.

Both graduate transfers — Justin Pierce from William & Mary and Christian Keeling from Charleston Southern — figure to play prominent roles for the Tar Heels. Keeling, in particular, could be key early because of an injury to projected starter Brandon Robinson in last week’s exhibition win against Winston-Salem State.

It was just such a situation that convinced UNC’s old coach to try new things — just in case.

“We needed some more guys,” Williams said last month at the Tar Heels’ preseason media day. “I

North Carolina coach Roy Williams has filled his roster with one-and-done talent and experienced veterans. think that we needed more people on the perimeter. Christian gives you a little bit of scoring, he’s got

a tremendous flair and a very gregarious personality.

“Justin played for Tony Shaver

at William & Mary, and they were making a coaching change and he was looking for some other place.

Kevin Harvick joined Martin Truex Jr. as one of the four drivers who will compete in the winnertake-all championship showdown in two weeks after winning his fourth race of the season at Texas on Sunday.

Stewart-Haas Racing took the top three spots, with Harvick, Aric Almirola and Daniel Suarez finishing 1-2-3.

I think his quality he has that will be more beneficial right now to us than anything is his rebounding.

He’s a sneaky kind of rebounder that goes in and gets his hands on a lot of balls, but it was a tremendous need for a couple more players on the perimeter.”

As much as Williams has changed with the times, there are certain conventions from which he will never stray. Among them is his reliance on a dominant point guard, the latest of which is Anthony — a dynamic playmaker and scorer who stood out in the Tar Heels’ two preseason contests.

“Cole is one of the best players in the country already and he hasn’t even played a game,” teammate Brooks said. “I think that is a lot to say and I believe in him.

He is a really talented guy, a really hard worker.”

Williams also hasn’t altered his preference for playing a traditional lineup with two big men on the court at the same time and an offense designed to run through the low post in an effort to get easy baskets and put the opposition into foul trouble.

He wasn’t able to do that last year because of injury and a lack of experience. With Brooks’ steady development and the addition of Bacot, at least one thing about the Tar Heels will look familiar this season.

Roster stability should help NC State’s tournament hopes

45 Combined wins for coach Kevin Keatts in his first two seasons at NC State.

Pack returns seven contributors from last season

By Shawn Krest North State Journal RALEIGH — For the first time since Kevin Keatts arrived in Raleigh, NC State may not need “Hi, my name is” tags to keep everyone straight.

The Wolfpack have had a revolving door as Keatts used graduate transfers to help bolster the team’s talent level.

Now, as he begins year three, Keatts finally has some roster stability.

“I like our team. I like our pieces,” Keatts said. “For the first time since I have been at NC State, we have the most returners that we have ever had, which is seven.”

The seven returning players are only two fewer than Keatts had in his first two seasons combined.

It also includes six of the top seven scorers from last year’s team, which went 24-12 but missed out on an NCAA Tournament berth due to a weak nonconference schedule.

“Obviously, we were all a little disappointed about the outcome of not making the NCAA Tournament last year,” Keatts said, “but that being said, we put that behind us and we’re really focused on moving on.”

The returning players will use the snub as motivation.

“Not being able to go to the tournament, playing NIT, definitely experienced some hungry guys on the roster,” C.J. Bryce said.

“Guys are ready to play this year.”

Bryce, who followed Keatts from UNC Wilmington three years ago, is one of four guards that will help State run the up-tempo offense that Keatts prefers. Bryce averaged 11.6 points last season, third-best on the team, to go with

Guard Braxton Beverly and the Wolfpack will try to wear down opponents using coach Kevin Keatts’ up-tempo system.

1.8 assists and 1.1 steals.

Braxton Beverly (9.4 points, 2.5 assists) and Devon Daniels (9.3 points, 1.3 assists) will also be pushing the ball up court as opponents try to keep up.

Point guard Markell Johnson, however, will be the one triggering things at both ends of the floor.

He is the team’s leading returning scorer (12.6 points). He also led the team in assists with 4.2 — good for sixth in the ACC — and tied for the lead in steals with 1.1. Just as importantly, Johnson had a 1.93 as-

sist-to-turnover ratio, which Keatts would like to see improve even more this season.

“We take pride in obviously being in great shape towards the end of the game,” Keatts said of his running attack. “I think that one thing that we want to emphasize, and what we have been talking about in the practice, is we want to be a really low turnover team.

What I mean by that, from us, obviously on the defensive end, we try to turn guys over as much as we can and create tempo, but we

want to play fast but don’t want to turn the ball over ourselves.”

The guard attack will be bolstered by three-star freshman Dereon Seabron.

State also returns forward DJ Funderburk, who will miss the start of the season after getting suspended for a violation of team rules. He had 8.8 points and 4.2 rebounds last year coming off the bench. With Wyatt Walker gone this season, Funderburk will be the team’s man in the post.

State also must replace Torin

Manning brings back familiar faces, hopes to get Deacons back to respectability In his sixth season in Winston-Salem, Wake Forest’s coach could be fighting for his job this year

By Brett Friedlander North State Journal CHARLOTTE — One of the last things Ron Wellman did before retiring as Wake Forest’s athletic director last spring was announce the return of basketball coach Danny Manning for the 2019-20 season.

It was a move likely based more on economics than performance since the Deacons have posted losing records in four of Manning’s five seasons — including 1120 last year — and he’s still under contract through 2025 at a price tag of $18 million.

Then again, with six of the top seven scorers returning and a highly regarded recruiting class already on campus, the elements might be in place for Manning to finally turn things around and earn more than just one more year under new AD John Currie.

Whether this actually is a put up or shut up for the former Kansas star and No. 1 overall NBA draft pick, he’s approaching it as if it is.

“There’s always a sense of urgency,” Manning said last month at the ACC’s Operation Basketball media event in Charlotte. “It doesn’t matter what year. I played professional basketball for 15 years. You can lose your job anytime somebody came in and took it. That’s just what it is.

“This year is no different than my first year, my second year or last year. My mindset doesn’t change. I’ve been very fortunate to be in the situation I’m in, but I understand what it is. There are a lot of things you can control, and you can’t worry about the things you can’t control.”

One thing Manning can’t control is the perception others have of his program. The Deacons were picked to finish last in the ACC’s preseason media poll. But they do have the power to change that perception with their play on the court.

And Manning said he feels good about their chances.

CHUCK BURTON | AP PHOTO

Danny Manning comes into the 2019-20 season with a 65-93 record at Wake Forest and just one NCAA Tournament berth in his first five seasons.

Manning actually has several reasons to feel good these days, not the least of which is that he’s walking around with much less pain after undergoing knee replacement surgery this offseason.

Most of all, though, he’s looking forward to entering a new season with some continuity to his roster. That’s a luxury he hasn’t had during his watch, with 17 underclassmen having left with eligibility remaining by either transfer, early entry into the NBA Draft or disciplinary action.

Even without one-and-done forward Jaylen Hoard, who signed a two-way deal with the Portland Trailblazers as an undrafted free agent, the Deacons return players that recorded nearly 80 percent of the team’s minutes a year ago.

It’s a group, led by senior Brandon Childress, who is just as motivated — if not more — to finally get Wake headed in the right direction in his final season of eligibility.

“I want to go back and not just get to the tournament, but make a run and win the whole thing,” said Childress, the son of Wake Hall of Famer and current assis-

tant coach Randolph Childress.

“I’m trying to leave Wake Forest better than I found it.

“My first year, we made it to the First Four. I have a love and appreciation for this year. I want to make a run and make a statement that Wake Forest is back. That was my goal when I signed that letter of intent.”

While Childress led the team in both scoring and assists last season, he is hardly the only scoring option in a backcourt loaded with experienced players.

“It’s a guard-heavy team, and coach is going to give us the keys to the car,” he said. “We’ve got to drive it.”

Among those joining Childress in the rotation of what figures to be a three-guard alignment is junior Chaundee Brown, who has successfully rehabbed from offseason knee surgery and is poised to improve on a season in which he started 30 of 31 games and posted career-high totals of 11.8 points, 5.0 rebounds and 29.1 minutes per game.

Redshirt senior Andrien White is a 6-foot-5 transfer who scored more than 1,000 points in three

seasons at Charlotte before sitting out last season under NCAA rules, and Torry Johnson is a reliable graduate student capable of playing both guard positions.

Sophomores Sharone Wright Jr. and Michael Wynn are also ready to take the next step in their careers after up-and-down rookie campaigns.

While the Deacons don’t have a true low-post presence — especially since freshman 6-foot-9, 260-pound freshman Tariq Ingraham was lost for the season with a torn Achilles tendon — they do have some size.

Seven-foot junior Olivier Sarr and slender 6-8 sophomore Isaiah Mucius are the closest things Wake has to experienced big men and are going to have to contribute inside defensively and especially on the glass.

Other possibilities include 6-8 freshman Ishmael Massoud — a fluid, polished wing who has the potential to be the most accurate shooter on the team with the ability to play both inside and out — and 6-9 freshman Ody Oguama, who figures to be more of a work in progress.

Dorn, who led the team with 14.0 points and 7.2 rebounds last year.

Fortunately for State’s rebounding hopes, Keatts hasn’t completely blocked the revolving door. He brought in 6-foot-8 power forward Pat Andree as a graduate transfer from Lehigh. He averaged 12.9 points and 6.2 rebounds for the Mountain Hawks and will be able to provide size in the paint. He’s also hit 41.5 percent of his 3-point attempts, which fits right into Keatts’ offensive attack.

Manny Bates, a 6-foot-11 fourstar recruit last year who redshirted the season, is also expected to play a major role inside for the Pack.

UMKC transfer Danny Dixon is a 6-foot-10 presence who averaged 7.5 points and 3.6 rebounds in a little over 19 minutes a game. He’s also shown the ability to shoot the three, hitting more than half in a limited number of attempts.

State should be better than last season, but the Pack may be sweating an NCAA Tournament bid again this year.

Their strength of schedule should be improved by playing an extra two conference games — the ACC moves to a 20-game schedule this season. State also has Auburn (22 in KenPom), Wisconsin (45) and Memphis (51) on their nonconference slate.

After that, however, State’s schedule is packed with the same bottom-dwellers as the one that cost them last season’s bid. State plays UNC Greensboro (108 in KenPom), and every other nonconference foe is 190 or lower.

That includes UALR (190), App State (203), FIU (204), Detroit Mercy (252), St. Francis of Brooklyn (290), the Citadel (302) and Alcorn State (340).

DUKE from page B1 I like the fact that this is more of an old-fashioned dynamic for us. I think we can be pretty good.”

Part of the reason for that is the freshmen aren’t quite as college-ready as some of the recent Blue Devils. Before Williamson and Barrett, there was Marvin Bagley III and Wendell Carter Jr. Before that, there was Brandon Ingram, Jahlil Okafor, Justise Winslow and Jabari Parker. The list goes on — players who were clearly the best on the floor every time they suited up.

Now there’s more of a competition to see who’s best.

“I think we’re going to be a team like that,” Krzyzewski said.

“They’re going to develop a little bit more like freshmen develop.

It’s what it is. You make whatever you have a good thing. As a coach, you have to adapt. As an administrator, you have to adapt to what’s going on.”

Of course, for the revised approach to work, the older players need to be able to hold down the fort until the freshmen get up to speed. If not, disaster could be on the horizon.

That’s exactly what Duke fans were considering after the team’s first exhibition game, a 69-63 win over Division II Northwest Missouri State. It was Duke’s closest exhibition win in more than two decades.

Carey and Moore were each held to four points even though no one on Northwest Missouri State was taller than 6-foot-8.

The Blue Devils were held to 2-of-16 from three while giving up 15-of-34.

Afterward, Krzyzewski praised the opponents, who were undefeated national champions last season, while repeating that he wasn’t concerned about the close score. Then the Blue Devils came out in plain white tank tops and logo-less shorts for the next exhibition, perhaps the earliest in the season that Krzyzewski has taken the team’s Duke gear until they play hard enough to earn it.

“We obviously have a very talented team,” Smith said. “We don’t know who’s who yet. All our guys are working to show and prove themselves. I think it’s going to be very good for our team not having that much separation. Every single game, every single night, it could be somebody different.”

As long as it’s somebody, then the ensemble cast approach will work. But at some point, someone needs to decide it’s his show and step to center stage.

Duke, UNC, State and Wake all have elite floor generals

By Shawn Krest North State Journal THE NAMES just keep coming, a who’s who of point guard legends.

The four ACC schools in North Carolina have produced some of the greatest floor generals in college basketball history.

Just looking at the NCAA’s alltime assists leaders tells the story.

No. 1 is Duke’s Bobby Hurley. No. 2 is NC State’s Chris Corchiani, and No. 3 is UNC’s Ed Cota.

Then there are the other names from the annals of history. Wake Forest fans will bring up Chris Paul, Muggsy Bogues, Randolph Childress and Jeff Teague.

Duke will point to Tommy Amaker, Tyus Jones, Jason Williams, Johnny Dawkins and Chris Duhon.

NC State has Spud Webb, Cat Barber, Sidney Lowe, Lorenzo Brown and Nate McMillan.

UNC’s entries include Phil Ford, Raymond Felton, Ty Lawson, Kendall Marshall and Kenny Smith.

The argument will continue this season, with each school having a new entry to add to the list, leading to the promise of one-on-one showdowns during ACC games between the Big Four teams.

Here’s a look at who will be running the show for the teams in North Carolina this season: Brandon Childress, Wake Forest (14.7 points, 4.0 assists, 1.5 steals)

The senior arrived at Wake as the son of all-time Demon Deacon Randolph Childress, but he’ll leave having carved out a name of his own in Winston-Salem. While the team hasn’t had a great deal of success during his first three years, Childress has developed into one of the ACC’s top guards. He led Wake in scoring, assists and steals and hit more threes than any Deac in a dozen years last season.

He’s done it all in the shadow of his father, whose banner hangs over the court and who stands on the sideline each game as a member of Danny Manning’s coaching staff.

“I can relate to that scenario, because that was what I was in in college,” Manning said. “My father was an assistant coach at Kansas under Coach (Larry) Brown when I was there, and so it’s a great memory for me. You know, Brandon is going through very similar situation. He gets very aggressive counseling, so to speak, day in and day out from our coaching staff and from his father, as well.

“But for Brandon, his situation, his growth as a player is kind of what you want your players to go through. He comes in as a freshman and he has a role, he gets a chance to contribute, but he also gets a chance to take things in.

His sophomore year, he gets a little bigger role. His junior year, his numbers speak for itself and the things that he was able to do. His work ethic, his preparation gave him a chance to be successful like that.”

Markell Johnson, NC State (12.6 points, 4.2 assists, 1.1 steals) The other senior among the instate point guards, Johnson will be running Kevin Keatts’ high-octane fast-break offense for the Wolfpack.

“You have to be in great shape in order to play in our system,” Keatts said. “We’re trying to get the ball out in transition as fast as we can. I tell Markell and (the other guards) all the time we want to run a three-second offense and fast break and try to get the ball up and try to score without setting the offense up. Defensively, we want to

create off the defense trying to get as many easy baskets as we can. I like where we’re at with our pace.

Obviously, you know, scoring 80plus points a game has been great for us. I would love to run even a little bit more if we could.”

Johnson was among the ACC leaders in assists, 3-point shooting and assist-to-turnover ratio. Johnson (and Keatts) focused on the fact that he fell out of the league leaders in steals.

“I really don’t know why my steals were down,” Johnson said.

“I would say I wasn’t really that locked in defensively last year as I am this year.”

Tre Jones, Duke (9.4 points, 5.3 assists, 1.9 steals) Call him two and not through.

Jones was second in the ACC in assists, third in steals and led the conference (and was sixth in the nation) in assist-to-turnover ratio.

Jones then surprised everyone by declaring that he was staying in school, bucking Duke’s one-anddone trend. Jones took the season-ending loss to Michigan State hard, sobbing uncontrollably in the locker room afterward.

He returns to school to try to match older brother Tyus, who won a national title with the Blue Devils in 2015. He’ll also take a run at continuing Duke’s tradition of national defensive player of the year honorees. He’s one of the best on-ball defenders in the nation.

It seems surprising that Jones would decide to return with his top assist targets — Zion Williamson, RJ Barrett and Cam Reddish — all gone. Coach Mike Krzyzewski said he expects Jones’ assist numbers to go up this year, however, since the three one-and-dones last year were so good at creating on their own and often didn’t need to be set up by Jones.

“Tre is a key guy for us because he’s going to have the ball most of the time,” Coach K said. “Last year he got the ball especially designed and RJ. Now he’s going to have to distribute it to a number of guys.

His ball pressure gets things going.”

Cole Anthony, North Carolina (18 points, 9.8 rebounds, 9.5 assists [high school]) The son of former UNLV and NBA point guard Greg, Anthony is ready to start from day one at UNC. He doesn’t arrive with quite the same hoopla that Williamson brought to Duke last year, but his star power is significant. Rapper J. Cole visited UNC for media day to catch up with Anthony, and the freshman playmaker’s social media presence was enough for coach Roy Williams to decide to end the school’s ban on media speaking to freshmen in the preseason, a rule that had been around since Dean Smith was coach.

Anthony’s play on the court in high school certainly lived up to the hype. He was a USA Today first-team All-American and the Gatorade Player of the Year in Virginia. He also won MVP at the McDonald’s All-American Game, the Jordan Brand Classic, the Nike EYBL and was all-tournament at the FIBA championships as a member of Team USA. He’s already embraced the role of team leader and alpha dog at UNC. “Cole has been a guy that wins almost every sprint, won the 12-minute run,” Williams said.

“One day we had maybe the toughest conditioning test, and he finished and made all his times.

(Other) guys had to make up five times, and he ran that with them and won those too. So he’s gotten the respect by doing the little things, the tough things.”

Two seniors, a freshman and a sophomore. All of them can score, distribute and defend, and they’re all playing for Big Four rivals. As if fans needed any more reason to look forward to the games.

“He’s gotten the respect by doing the little things, the tough things.”

Davidson guard Jon Axel Gudmundsson is one of two Wildcats on the 50-player preseason watchlist for the Naismith Award.

Deep Davidson team ready to return to NCAA Tournament Wildcats return nine of top 10 scorers

By Shawn Krest North State Journal Fifty players were named to the preseason watch list for the Citizen Naismith Trophy, given to college basketball’s best player.

Zion Williamson won it last season.

Only seven programs placed two players on the watch list: No. 1 Michigan State, No. 2 Kentucky, No. 3 Kansas, No. 4 Duke, No. 6 Florida, No. 7 Maryland … … and Davidson.

The Wildcats may not be ranked (although their 34 points are more than Houston, Georgetown, Cincinnati and NC State combined), but they’re loaded with talent heading into 201920. In fact, while there may not be a Steph Curry on this season’s roster, this could be the most talented Davidson team of the post-Curry era.

Nine of the top 10 scorers return from last season’s 23-8 NIT team.

Bob McKillop’s Wildcats will be led by Jon Axel Gudmundsson. The senior from Iceland was fourth in the Atlantic 10 in scoring (16.9 points), seventh in rebounding (7.3) and fifth in assists (4.8). He’s also one of the most accurate 3-point and free-

throw shooters in the conference. Heading into his final season, Gudmundsson is already the first player in Davidson history to score 1,000 points, grab 500 rebounds and dish out 400 assists.

Gudmundsson is one of the two watch-list players. The other is junior Kellan Grady, who was the team’s scoring leader and third in the A-10 with 17.3 points per game. Grady was also named to the watch list for the Jerry West Award, given to the nation’s top shooting guard.

Also back are KiShawn Pritchett, who hits nearly 44 percent from 3-point range. Luke Frampton is another long-range threat who had 100 made threes last year. Luka Brajkovic (11.1 points per game) will be the lone big man in the four-guard lineup.

He averages six rebounds and hit nearly 55 percent of his shots last season.

In addition to the returning players, McKillop has three newcomers on the roster. Mike Jones redshirted last season due to injury but he’s ready to contribute this season. He averaged more than 30 points per game in high school, so he should fit right into the high-scoring guard lineup.

The two true freshmen are both international players who will back up the forward spot.

Hyunjung Lee is a 6-foot-7 swingman from Korea. He was Team Korea’s leading scorer at the 2018 U18 Asia Basketball Championships, averaging 26 points per game.

David Kristensen is a 6-foot10 power forward and a member of Denmark’s Senior National Team.

Davidson’s goal is to return to the NCAA Tournament and make some noise in March. The Wildcats have a nonconference schedule that should help them reach those goals. Davidson opens with Auburn and also plays Wake Forest and Marquette, all on neutral courts, as well as a road game at Vanderbilt.

“I think they have a chance to be a very special team,” McKillop said at the Atlantic 10’s media day, where the Wildcats were picked to finish second this season. “They’ll have some obstacles to overcome, but we definitely have the ingredients to be a special team.”

Coming off back-to-back 20loss seasons and with star big man Devontae Cacok now playing for the South Bay Lakers of the NBA’s G League, UNC Wilmington basketball coach C.B. McGrath needed all the good news he could get heading into his third season with the Seahawks.

And he got some recently, courtesy of the NCAA, which granted waivers that will allow transfers Mike Okauru and John Bowen to be eligible immediately rather than having to wait until next season to play.

Shooting guard Okauru is a former four-star prospect who started his career at Florida. Bowen is a 6-foot-7 wing from Belmont Abbey. The North Carolina natives are just two of the seven newcomers (including four veteran transfers) McGrath is counting on to help turn things around and finally get his program headed in the right direction.

The other two transfers are 6-foot-8, 255-pound German Marten Linssen from Valparaiso, who will be asked to do the bulk of the heavy lifting on the low post, and 6-5 graduate student Carter Skaggs, who averaged 7.1 points per game at his former school, Washington State.

Despite having only five returning players from last year’s team, McGrath said that the Seahawks are “ahead of the curve” when it comes to building chemistry and learning to play together thanks to

UNCG using tournament snub as fuel The Spartans were the final team left out of the Big Dance last season despite a school-record 29 wins

“It’s a brutal feeling to know you were that close.”

Wes Miller, UNC Greensboro coach

By Brett Frieldlander North State Journal If UNC Greensboro was a member of, say, the ACC — or any other Power 5 Conference, for that matter — it might have been selected to play in the NCAA Tournament for the second straight season in 2018-19.

Because the Spartans play in the one-bid Southern Conference, they had to settle for being the No. 1 overall seed in the NIT. Coach Wes Miller’s veteran team finished with a school-record 29 wins, lost only to Quadrant 1 opponents, had a final RPI ranking of 32 and threw scares into both Kentucky and LSU during a memorable season that ended disappointingly only because conference rival Wofford enjoyed one that was just a fraction better.

The disappointment was palpable on Selection Sunday after Miller and his players learned that they were the first team left out of the field of 68, a snub USA Today characterized as one of the NCAA committee’s most egregious.

“It’s a brutal feeling to know you were that close,” the former North Carolina point guard told the newspaper after the brackets were announced. “It’s an indescribable

an exhibition trip the team took to Italy this summer.

UNCW split its two games overseas. But according to the former North Carolina assistant — whose current team will host the Tar Heels at Trask Coliseum on Friday — the results were secondary to the bonding experience the tour provided.

“I think they got to know each other a lot more in a foreign country where you can’t use your phones 24/7 and you’re staying nine days away from home, with your teammates, so that really helped,” McGrath told the UNCW student newspaper, The Seahawk. “They all want one thing, and they all want this program to be successful. When everybody’s on the same page, it seems like everything is meshing better than it has.”

As much as the Seahawks will miss Cacok, who led the nation in field goal percentage as a sophomore, rebounding as a junior and double-doubles as a senior, this year’s team won’t be without its share of star power.

The difference between Cacock and sophomore point guard Kai Toews is that while the former was a finisher, the latter is a distributor with the ability to make everyone on the court with him better.

Toews, a 6-2 native of Tokyo, Japan, set a school record with 253 assists as a freshman last season.

His average of 7.7 assists per game ranked him second in the nation behind only first round NBA draft pick Ja Morant of Murray State.

Of the other returners, junior guard Ty Gadsden is the top scorer at 11.5 points per game. Junior guard Jay Estime averaged 7.5 points per game as a starter, and sophomore wing Jaylen Simms averaged 5.7 points and 3.0 rebounds mostly off the bench.

UNC Greensboro guard Isaiah Miller was picked as the preseaon Player of the Year for the Southern Conference. pain to sit in a room full of kids that had their dreams crushed, with all the work they’ve put in.

It’s a big moment for our school to be considered as an at-large, but it’s tough to swallow knowing we were right there.”

In an effort to prevent history

from repeating itself, the Spartans have put together a challenging 2019-20 nonconference schedule that includes games against Kansas, Georgetown and NC State — along with defending conference champions Radford, Vermont and Northern Kentucky.

The thought process is that perhaps an upset or two might be enough to push them over the top this March. The biggest upset, however, may already have happened in that Miller is still “right there” for his ninth season at UNCG.

He resisted the temptation to leave for a higher-profile job after three straight seasons of 25-plus wins and the loss of leading scorer Francis Alonso.

As much as Alonso and his 17.3 points per game average will be missed, the Spartans’ cupboard is anything but bare. They were recently picked to finish second (again) in the SoCon, and junior guard Isaiah Miller — who quietly emerged as stat-stuffing force a year ago while averaging 15.2 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 2.9 steals — was named the league’s preseason Player of the Year.

Conference Defensive Player of the Year James Dickey, a 6-foot10 senior who led the team in rebounding at 8.0 per game last season, is also back, as is fellow starter Kyrin Galloway, a senior forward who scored at nearly a double-figure pace at 9.4 per game.

Add to them a strong recruiting class of six new freshmen — led by point guard Keyshaun Langley, the preseason SoCon Rookie of the Year, and his twin brother, Kobe — and the Spartans should have the talent and depth to make another strong run at an NCAA bid.

Dooley builds ECU on the fly with transfers The Pirates have 11 new players on the roster with seven JUCOs and four freshmen

By Brett Friedlander North State Journal Joe Dooley has taken the concept of “tearing it down to build it back up” to an extreme in the second season of his second tenure as East Carolina’s basketball coach.

Thanks to a combination of graduation, transfer and other attrition, only two players remain from last year’s 10-21 team.

In their place are 11 newcomers — seven junior college transfers and four incoming freshmen — that have helped Dooley and his hard-working staff to quickly restock the program with players of their choosing rather than having to make do with those recruited by former coach Jeff Lebo.

No construction project, however, can truly succeed without a solid foundation upon which to build.

In Dooley’s case, he has one in sophomore Jayden Gardner who, along with senior Seth LeDay, is one of the team’s only two returners.

The reigning American Athletic Conference Rookie of the Year, Gardner led the Pirates in 11 statistical categories last season, including scoring at 16.3 points per game, while finishing second in the league with a rebounding average of 8.5.

The 6-foot-7 forward from Wake Forest showed how dominant he can in a game against Central Florida last season by becoming the first ECU player since 1966 to record 30 points and 20 rebounds in the same game. He led all Division I freshmen with 171 made free throws and was in the top 10 nationally in both scoring and rebounding among rookies.

And he did it while playing out of position as an undersized center.

This season, Gardner will have some help inside with the addition of two 6-foot-11 JUCO big men — Edra Luster, a rim protector Edra Luster from Tyler College in Texas and power forward Ludgy Debaut from Northwest Florida State.

“Our size gives us so many more options,” Dooley said. “We could play small with anybody last year, but we couldn’t really play big.

When one of our bigger guys ran into foul trouble, we couldn’t adjust effectively.

“We had Jayden (Gardner) or Seth (LeDay) trying to guard some of the big guys at Central Florida and Wichita State and it was fair to them. They did their best, but we should be in much better shape with that this year.”

Not only did the Pirates get bigger, but they also got more athletic by adding four wing players of 6-6 or taller.

J.J. Miles is an in-state shooting guard who averaged 15 points per game in leading Cape Fear Community College to a 27-6 record and a trip to the national tournament last season.

Miles James averaged 12 points, five rebounds and two assists

while shooting nearly 40 percent from 3-point range at Palm Beach State, while prep school product Brandon Suggs is a versatile player who chose ECU over Auburn, Georgia Tech and Texas A&M. The rest of the class consists of 6-1 JUCO point guard Tyrie Jackson; 6-1 point guard Tremont Robinson from Northwest Mississippi Community College; prolific 6-5 scorer Tristen Newton from Burg-

es High School in El Paso, Texas; and 6-4 Baltimore high school combo guard Logan Curtis.

“We have enough talent to compete in this league,” said LeDay, who started his career at Virginia Tech. “It just takes time to put all the pieces together, but we’ve made a lot of progress since the first practice. Jayden and I know what the coaches expect, so we’re trying to bring the new guys along.

NC Central looks to keep eye of the tiger Coach LeVelle Moten wants his team to ignore its recent success

By Shawn Krest North State Journal

Charlotte coach Ron Sanchez, in his second season with the 49ers, will expect more from reserve guard Brandon Younger this season.

Charlotte looks to make steady improvement The second year under Ron Sanchez should be a step forward

By Shawn Krest North State Journal Charlotte’s second-year coach, Ron Sanchez, honed his craft for decades as an assistant to Tony Bennett. So it’s only natural that the 49ers’ improvement would be slow and methodical.

Sanchez took over a team that had finished the previous season 6-23 and 2-16 in Conference USA. On paper, the team didn’t take a major step forward, going 8-21 last season. Charlotte improved to five conference wins, but the 49ers still finished second to last and weren’t allowed to participate in the CUSA postseason tournament.

Still, there were signs of progress that didn’t necessarily translate to wins and losses.

Charlotte gave up 68.7 points per game last year, which was 11 points lower than its 2017-18 average, as Sanchez began installing the defensive schemes that have made Virginia one of the toughest teams in the nation to face.

The team also returns a solid core this season to help accelerate the progress.

Leading rebounder Milos Supica is one of three starters and

“There were things we did well. We’ll watch the film.

We’ll learn. We’ll grow.”

Ron Sanchez, Charlotte coach

six key contributors to return this season. The forward averaged 4.7 rebounds and 7.5 points while hitting 52.5 percent from the field as a sophomore.

Supica is joined by sophomore guard Malik Martin, who averaged 9.4 points and 4.1 boards last year, and Cooper Robb (6.8 points, 3.9 rebounds). Reserves Brandon Younger and Bo Blight are also expected to take on expanded roles this season.

The team will also get a boost from Jordan Shepherd, who sat out all of last season after transferring from Oklahoma. The former Sooners point guard learned the system in practice and should be ready to step in. Shepherd scored 16 points with five assists in an exhibition game against Georgia.

Another addition who never really left is Luka Vasic, who missed all of last season with a

knee injury.

Tyler Bertram will make his college debut after redshirting last season. He will give the 49ers an outside threat after setting his high school’s record for 3-point shooting. Bertram scored eight against the Bulldogs.

The 49ers also add a pair of grad transfers in Amidou Bamba, a forward from Coastal Carolina, and guard Drew Edwards from Providence.

Sanchez signed a five-man freshman class that includes Brice Williams, son of Charlotte basketball legend Henry.

Guard Jahmir Young also shows promise. He put up 14 points in the Georgia exhibition.

More importantly for the 49ers was the 15-0 run that the team went on against the Bulldogs, showing a flash of just how potent Sanchez’s defense can be once the team gets it down pat. Charlotte forced 18 turnovers in the game, scoring 26 points off of them.

“We have a lot of new guys,” Sanchez said after the Georgia game, which the Bulldogs pulled out in the second half. “To be under the lights against an opponent of that caliber was great for us. Overall, I think that there are some things we need to improve on. There were things we did well.

We’ll watch the film. We’ll learn.

We’ll grow.”

Slow and steady. Sanchez wouldn’t have it any other way.

North Carolina Central is the first team to win three straight MEAC Tournament Championships in more than 35 years.

Don’t let coach LeVelle Moten hear that, though.

“My wife asked me, ‘Why are all your trophies still in storage?’” the NC Central coach said. “All my trophies going back to when I was a kid. I’ve been paying storage fees for six years. It’s hard for me to focus on the yesterday. Life is not meant to be lived by looking back.

If you’re driving and you look over your shoulder, you’re gonna crash.

I don’t want to crash.”

And he certainly isn’t going to let his Eagles crash.

His priority for the early season?

“Eliminate and disregard the sense of entitlement you may have right now because you haven’t won anything collectively as a group,” he said. “Don’t go out here and try to enjoy the fruits of the labor that was performed by your predecessors. The reality is, walking around this campus, they’re getting lots of attention that they probably don’t necessarily deserve because they wasn’t part of last year or the previous year or the previous year. But now they put on a sweatshirt that says North Carolina Central Basketball, and the new girls on campus can’t tell the difference.”

Three players who were part of last season’s championship team that took a third straight trip to the NCAA Tournament were honored on the preseason All-MEAC Team.

Senior guard Randy Miller was the second-leading scorer last year at 13.3 points per game. Senior forward Jibri Blount averaged 10.1 points, and junior guard Jordan Perkins was sixth in the league with 4.3 assists.

Central was chosen to win the league, which is the last thing Moten wants to hear.

“I humble them real quick,” he said. “Come to one practice and they’re humbled, I promise you that. They’re not leaving there feeling like champions. These kids today, bless ’em, man. This day and age, with social media, you can develop false illusions about yourself.”

Luckily, the Eagles have a grumpy coach willing to spoil those illusions with a 30-year-old movie.

“I used the analogy of Rocky III,” he said. “Rocky was this guy who was struggling to get on his feet. He just wanted a shot at the heavyweight championship of the world. He was running through the Philly streets and hitting ribs.

Then he won the title and got content.

“I just remember he was now trying to fight Clubber Lang, who was played by Mr. T. They kept going in and out of clips where Clubber Lang was training in a dark basement and just getting it in.

While Rocky was training with a silk jacket on now, with pianos playing and beautiful girls around him. He’d jump rope and then stop and sign autographs, give a kiss, and it was driving his manager crazy. Then he went and got his head knocked off. Then he had to go back to reality.”

Moten’s job is to make sure reality doesn’t bite his squad.

“Let’s not be Rocky Balboa in number three,” he said. “Let’s have the same grind and mentality we’ve always had.”

Innovation, higher education focus of annual State of the Region event Approved Logos

Greensboro, N.C. – Innovation and higher education took center stage when more than 200 leaders from across the Carolina Core gathered for the annual State of the Region event hosted by the Piedmont Triad Partnership. The annual report for the region indicated a strong, growing economy that has added more than 58,000 jobs since 2010.

The Carolina Core is a corridor between Winston-Salem, Greensboro, High Point and Fayetteville at the heart of North Carolina with four megasites of 7,500 +/- acres of certified land that offer advanced manufacturers room to grow, as well as many other industrial sites, urban research parks and mixeduse developments.

A panel discussion highlighted the important intersection between higher education and economic development in the Carolina Core.

Colleges and universities across the region have bought into the notion that “a win for one is a win for all,” and are collaborating on strategies to help build a robust talent pipeline in the Carolina Core.

“We are actively exploring how we can connect and leverage the tremendous power of our institutions to further the economic development goals of our region and to further enhance the local talent pipeline,” said NC A&T State University Chancellor Harold Martin.

“We have a growing skilled workforce with more than 25,000 degrees and credentials awarded last year. Educational attainment is increasing at all levels. Most importantly, employers and education leaders are more engaged and coordinated than ever before to further strengthen the talent pipeline in the Carolina Core,” said Piedmont Triad Partnership President and CEO Stan Kelly.

By Rachel Lerman The Associated Press NEW YORK — Google’s acquisition of wearable pioneer Fitbit may be a bold plunge into health and fitness technology. But it’s also just the latest step in the internet giant’s often-halting effort to become a force in consumer hardware.

Google, the company that helped make it fun to just sit around surfing the web, is jumping into the fitness-tracker business with both feet, buying Fitbit for about $2.1 billion.

The deal will put Google in direct competition with Apple and Samsung in the highly competitive market for smartwatches and other wearable electronics. But it also raises questions about privacy and Google’s dominance in the tech industry.

The company’s announcement Friday came with a promise that it won’t sell ads using the intimate health data that Fitbit devices collect.

Once a pure software company known for its search engine, apps like Gmail and its Android software for smartphones, Google has for the last several years been building out its own suite of hardware products.

These include its niche Pixel smartphones and a variety of smart gadgets from speakers to thermostats to Wi-Fi routers, all recently rebranded as “Nest” products.

Last month, the company announced a slate of new products including a Pixel phone, a Nest speaker and wireless earbuds. But its gadget sales are still minuscule compared to rivals Apple and Samsung.

That doesn’t necessarily matter much to Google, which sees hardware mostly as a way to get people hooked on its software and artificial-intelligence services. Health and fitness wearables like the ones that made Fitbit famous are just one more avenue for Google to forge a

presence in people’s lives.

Google has previously tried and failed to build a business in health technology, and its Wear OS software offers fitness tracking and AI for smartwatches made by other companies. But it doesn’t have its own branded fitness wearable.

That seems about to change.

Although Fitbit has been struggling recently against amped-up competition from Apple and Samsung, it still has one of the most recognizable and trusted brand names in wearable health tech, said eMarketer analyst Victoria Petrock.

“I think this gives Google immediate credibility in the market,” she said.

In a blog post announcing the deal with Fitbit, Google hardware executive Rick Osterloh said the merger would give the company an opportunity to release its own wearable device.

Google is realizing that it needs to build products that are consistent and coherent, like Apple does because it makes both hardware and software, said Forrester analyst Frank Gillett. He said Microsoft is taking steps in this direction as well with the Surface.

“The Android model has been successful to a point, but it has also created a fragmented user experience,” Gillett said.

Google’s last big acquisition-fueled push into a hot hardware space involved its takeover of smart-thermostat maker Nest.

Although Nest functioned for years as a largely autonomous unit, last year it folded back into Google.

It’s possible we might soon see

“Fitbit by Google” wearables, Petrock said.

But the push for Google, and increasingly other tech companies, is about the services they can sell along with the hardware.

“These companies want to sort of be everywhere,” Petrock said. “They want to provide a seamless connected device experience to users across the board. And wearables are part of that strategy.”

Digital health is a fast-growing market, with one study tracking more than $8 billion in venture investment in 2018. The market could bust open once a federal Department of Health and Human Services initiative to give patients better control over their electronic health data becomes a reality.

The Fitbit deal, which is expected to close next year, will also give Google another big chunk of personal health and location data. Google said it won’t sell ads using health and wellness data.

But it will still have all that information, which puts a lot of personal data in one place in case of breaches or leaks.

One unanswered question is what will happen to people who have enrolled in workplace “wellness” programs that use Fitbit. Consumer Reports health privacy expert Dena Mendelsohn worries that such workers may not realize that they’ve lost control of their data.

In the case of this acquisition, she said, “all that data that Fitbit collected over the years that users may or may not have been aware was being collected about them now is going over to Google.”

One of the two proposals released by Wheeler on Monday would relax some 2015 requirements on coal-fired power plants for disposal of coal ash.

The other would give some utilities more time to clean up or close the more than 400 unlined coal ash ponds around the country.

Warm Up to Savings Halloween is over, we’ve set the clocks back, and temperatures are getting cooler. There’s no denying that fall is here to stay and winter will be soon to follow. These simple tips will help you save energy and money all season long. (Some of them might surprise you!)

68 is the magic number. Set your thermostat to 68 degrees or lower when heating your home. Every degree above 68 can increase your bill by a whopping 3-5 percent!

Set it and forget it. Take advantage of programmable thermostats.

Especially if you have a furnace, set your thermostat to automatically turn the heat down at night and when you’re away.

Small isn’t always mighty. Despite what you might think, space heaters use a lot of energy and can increase your monthly bill. If you have energy efficient central heating in your home, use that instead.

Don’t forget your maintenance.

There are three things to remember regularly. When your fireplace is not in use, make sure your damper is closed; check or replace filters once a month; and clean air registers, baseboard heaters, and radiators, and be sure they aren’t blocked.

Hello sunshine. Besides providing Vitamin D, sunlight helps heat your home for free. Open drapes and let the sun stream in!

“The EPA is no longer picking winners and losers in electric generation,” said Peter Wright, assistant administrator for EPA Office of Land and Emergency Management, in a conference call with reporters on Friday.

But coal production in the U.S. has continued falling amid a boom for natural gas and some renewable energy, and U.S. coal facilities are closing despite the proposed regulatory relief.

US trade deficit falls to $52.5 billion in September The Associated Press WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. trade deficit fell in September to the lowest level in five months as imports dropped more sharply than exports and America ran a rare surplus in petroleum.

The Commerce Department said Tuesday that the September gap between what America buys from abroad and what it sells shrank by 4.7% to $52.5 billion. That was down from the August deficit of $55 billion and was the smallest imbalance since April.

The politically sensitive deficit with China edged down 0.6% to $31.6 billion.

President Donald Trump has imposed tariffs on more than $360 billion in Chinese imports. China has

retaliated with its own tariffs on American products as the world’s two largest economies have engaged in a trade war that has rattled global financial markets and slowed economic growth.

The September deficit reflected the fact that exports fell 0.9% to $206 billion but imports fell an even faster 1.7% to $258.4 billion. For the first nine months of this year, the U.S. deficit is running 5.4% below the same period a year ago. The deficit for all of 2018 totaled $627.7 billion.

Economists said they expect the trade deficit will be a drag on growth in the current October-December quarter as the continued weakness of the global economy further depresses demand for American exports.

“It’s hard to see anything other than further weakness in exports over the coming months,” said Andrew Hunter, senior U.S. economist at Capital Economics.

So far this year, the deficit with China is 12.8% lower than the same period a year ago although it remains the largest imbalance America runs with any country.

The two countries are currently trying to complete a phase one trade deal that would deal with some of the administration’s complaints that China is stealing U.S. technology and pursuing other unfair trade practices.

Investors are hoping that a phase one agreement will halt the imposition of any further tariffs. Those tariffs have disrupted global supply chains and caused business-

es to pull back on their investment spending, resulting in slower economic growth in the U.S. and other countries.

The September trade report showed that the U.S. ran the first surplus in petroleum in more than four decades, according to government records that go back to 1978.

The small $252 million surplus reflected the fact that the United States exported $15 billion in petroleum products in September while importing $14.7 billion. U.S. petroleum exports have been growing in recent years, reflecting a boom in new production methods such as fracking.

In addition to sparring with China, Trump has imposed import taxes on foreign steel and aluminum and is threatening to tax imported

autos, too. Trump views America’s persistent trade deficits as a sign of economic weakness and the result of unfair trade agreements which he says have resulted in the loss of millions of American manufacturing jobs.

But mainstream economists say the trade gap is the product of economic forces that don’t respond much to changes in trade policy such as a strong dollar, which makes U.S. goods more expensive on overseas markets, and the fact that Americans consume more than they produce with imports filling the gap.

In September, the United States recorded a $71.7 billion deficit in the trade of goods such as cars and appliances. But it ran a $19.3 billion surplus in the trade of services such as banking and education.

KERRY BROWN/PARAMOUNT PICTURES VIA AP

This image released by Paramount Pictures shows Arnold Schwarzenegger in “Terminator: Dark Fate.”

‘Terminator: Dark Fate’ is No. 1, but it’s no winner The Associated Press LOS ANGELES — It might be judgment day for the Terminator franchise.

Despite generally favorable reviews and the return of star Linda Hamilton and producer James Cameron, “Terminator: Dark Fate” has opened well below expectations at the box office. Studios on Sunday estimate that “Dark Fate” earned only $29 million from more than 4,000 North American locations. The film from Paramount Pictures cost a reported $185 million to produce.

It was enough to win the top spot at the box office, but it’s a weak victory for the franchise. Although “Dark Fate,” which was directed by “Deadpool’s” Tim Miller, received much better reviews (currently at 69% on Rotten Tomatoes) and was praised for being a return to form to Cameron’s original

films, it opened just slightly ahead of 2015’s roundly derided “Terminator: Genisys.”

“These big brands carry with them huge expectations, often unrealistic expectations,” said Comscore senior media analyst Paul Dergarabedian. “It wasn’t for lack of enthusiasm for the stars and filmmakers.”

Internationally, “Dark Fate” did much better, earning $72.9 million from 48 markets. Fox International, not Paramount, is handling international distribution, excluding China.

Second place went to “Joker,” which added $13.9 million, bringing its global earnings to $934 million in just five weeks in theaters.

“Maleficent: Mistress of Evil” landed in third place in its third weekend with an additional $12.2 million. The Angelina Jolie-led sequel has grossed $84.3 million in North America.

One bright spot of the weekend, which is down nearly 19% from last year when “Bohemian Rhapsody” opened, is Focus Features’ “Harriet,” which is the first film ever made about Harriet Tubman. Starring Cynthia Erivo in the title role, “Harriet” performed better than expected, earning $12 million from just over 2,000 theaters to take fourth place. The film scored a coveted A+ CinemaScore from audiences, who were primarily female (62 and over the age of 35 (59%).

African Americans also made up a significant portion of the audience (49%) according to exit polls.

“It’s really heartwarming and gives you a lot of faith that there are still a lot of people who want to see stories about real-life superheroes,” said Focus Features distribution president Lisa Bunnell. “There’s a real feeling of love for this movie.

I think it’s inspirational for people to see.”

Sample a bit of Jenny Slate’s imagination in ‘Little Weirds’ The Associated Press JENNY SLATE is an artist in the broadest sense of the word.

You may know her as a comedian, an actress or a co-creator of short films. She lends her matchless voice to several animated films and even writes children’s books. If you look at her body of work, you would categorize her as a funny human being.

“Little Weirds” diverges in an entirely different direction.

Instead of laughing at her embarrassing stories or learning what it’s like to be a performer on “Saturday Night Live,” you should prepare your psyche to dig deeper. Adjust your expectation of a run-of-the-mill memoir and ready yourself to drop straight into Slate’s imagination.

Slate writes about love and heartbreak, living and dying.

Although these topics are relatively relatable, the creative approach of each essay is abstract.

Her ability to paint a meticulous mental picture with nothing but words on a page can only be described as gifted. As a result, we join her in her dreams, in the body of a mouse, various states of death and meeting the darkhaired man.

At times the essays feel like sporadic streams of consciousness torn from random pages of Slate’s diary. At other times,

ing. What else would you expect from a woman who celebrates all the little weirds in her life?

Focus did outreach to faithbased groups and educators and has seen enormous success with group sales as a result.

Other newcomers struggled to find that kind of enthusiasm this weekend. Edward Norton’s adaptation of Jonathan Lethem’s “Motherless Brooklyn” opened in ninth place to $3.7 million, while the animated “Arctic Dogs” took 10th with $3.1 million.

One of the highest-profile new films of the weekend, Martin Scorsese’s “The Irishman,” does not have any box office numbers to report, however, because Netflix declines to provide numbers for its theatrical releases. Starring Robert De Niro, Al Pacino and Joe Pesci, the film — which opened in limited release before hitting Netflix on Nov. 27 — is expected to be a major Oscars contender.

A new hope for ‘Star Wars’ on Disney Plus in ‘The Mandalorian’

By Lindsey Bahr The Associated Press LOS ANGELES — Never heard of a Mandalorian? You’re not alone.

Actor Pedro Pascal hadn’t either when he started talking to Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni about an ambitious new “Star Wars” series that would become a marquee offering for the Walt Disney Co.’s new streaming service, Disney Plus, which launches Nov. 12.

But Pascal, known for playing Oberyn Martell on “Game of Thrones,” knew that this Mandalorian character looked a lot like Boba Fett and that was enough for him. The stoic bounty hunter behind the helmet who made his debut in “The Empire Strikes Back” became a cultish fan favorite and happened to be Pascal’s preferred action figure as a kid. When he got out of the meeting and wanted to share the news, he could barely get the words out.

“I was like, ‘They want me to be — it’s not Boba Fett, but it’s like, you remember. They want me to be the coolest looking thing in ‘Star Wars,’ you know?’” Pascal said, channeling his energy from that day. “It was a big geeky moment.”

Pascal and anyone else scratching their heads about how they might have missed this Mandalorian concept can rest easy: It’s not even a word that’s uttered in the original trilogy. But the idea comes straight from George Lucas himself. He had envisioned a race of warrior peoples called the Mandalore that ended up getting streamlined into one character in the films — Boba Fett. “Star Wars” literature and series like “The Clone Wars” helped keep the Mandalorians alive over the years, and it reemerged again when Disney and Lucasfilm started thinking about non-Skywalker ideas for the new streaming service where it’s primed to get its biggest audience yet.

Favreau, “The Lion King” and “Jungle Book” director, was enlisted to executive produce and write

for “The Mandalorian,” which is set in the franchise’s Outer Rim five years after “Return of the Jedi” and 25 years before the events of “The Force Awakens.” The eight-episode series, which will roll out on a near-weekly basis, follows the title character in his bounty hunting adventures.

The world around him is full of seedy and mysterious characters, like Greef Carga, played by Carl Weathers, who leads a bounty hunter guild, and former soldier Cara Dune, played by Gina Carano. As with all recent “Star Wars” properties, details are being kept as secret as possible.

“I had to cut my finger and sign in blood that I would say nothing about it, not even say I was doing it, that I was part of it. They’re very

protective of ‘Star Wars,’ the stories, the Mandalorian, the brand, and it makes sense,” Weathers said.

“We all want to protect it also.”

But from early footage and the nature of the bounty hunting profession, “The Mandalorian” does seem a little darker than your average “Star Wars” story. It’s been described as a Western, leaving it open as to whether the lead characters are good, bad or somewhere in between.

“We can be pulled to any side, any one of us,” said Carano. “Even when you begin the journey with the Mandalorian, you aren’t sure what side you’re on.”

Pascal agreed that it’s meant to be ambiguous.

“They separate good and evil so perfectly in the world of ‘Star

Wars.’ And in this one, it’s like we’re way more at the center,” Pascal said. “We’re past those borders, and past those very, very linear, very specific lines of definition.”

While “Star Wars” is no stranger to the small screen, those efforts have mostly been animated.

So when initial trailers debuted for “The Mandalorian,” in glorious live-action, many observed how movie-like it seemed, as though it would fit right in on the big screen alongside the “Star Wars” spinoffs like “Rogue One” or “Solo.” A reported $15 million per episode budget probably didn’t hurt.

It’s also a gesture of investment into a new phase of the “Star Wars” universe under Disney. The Skywalker saga is coming to an end with “The Rise of Skywalker,”

which opens in theaters on Dec. 20, and the next cinematic trilogy is going through its own restructuring with the recent news that its overseers, “Game of Thrones” showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, have parted ways with Lucasfilm.

But “The Mandalorian” could help ease the gap as the future is plotted. And Favreau is already at work on a second season.

The involvement of Favreau and Filoni, who directed the pilot and has been behind “Star Wars” projects like “The Clone Wars” and “Star Wars Rebels,” has everyone confident in the product.

“They are the ‘Star Wars’ fans,” said Carano. “This is made for (fans) because two of their own are making it.”
