NEWS BRIEFING

UNC Charlotte chancellor Dubois to retire Charlotte Phillip L. Dubois, current chancellor of UNC Charlotte, announced his intention to retire June 30, 2020. Now in his 15th year as chancellor at the North Carolina school, and with eight years served in his prior position as president of the University of Wyoming, Dubois will retire as one of the nation’s most experienced CEOs in higher education and as the senior chancellor in the UNC system.

Dubois became UNC Charlotte’s fourth chancellor in July 2005. During his tenure, he managed the UNC system’s fastest-growing campus, now the third-largest institution by enrollment.

The school experienced 43% growth in its student body since 2005 and made steady and significant improvements in the academic credentials and ethnic diversity of incoming freshmen and transfers.

New YouTube pact for public TV Beverly Hills, Calif.

Longtime PBS chief executive Paula Kerger announced PBS is expanding public TV’s digital presence, which includes an agreement announced Monday with YouTube TV for public television’s first localized streaming service.

Acorn TV and BritBox deliver the former, while it seems just about everyone is dabbling in the latter.

Documentaries, also a PBS staple, are proliferating as well, but Kerger said PBS is up to the challenges — and even helped create them.

“I’d like to give ourselves a little credit that we have helped to create the appetite for that kind of programming,” including for dramas in the mold of former PBS hit “Downton Abbey,” Kerger said.

‘Game changing’ bill shifts status of Lumbee Tribe in NC Tribe can now receive federal funds as a governing body

By David Larson North State Journal PEMBROKE — On July 25, Gov. Roy Cooper signed Senate Bill 218, a bipartisan bill giving the Lumbee Tribe greater autonomy to act as an official governing body in North Carolina. The bill passed almost unanimously in the General Assembly, with a 45-0 vote in the Senate and 113-1 vote in the House.

“What we intended to do with this legislation, and what I believe we did, is define the Lumbee in a way that allows them to receive certain benefits that otherwise they would not be able to receive,” Sen. Danny Britt (R-Robeson), the bill’s primary sponsor, told North State Journal.

Before the change, the state’s statute said that the Lumbee enjoyed rights and privileges “as citizens of the State,” but the new language says they enjoy these “as an American Indian Tribe with a recognized tribal governing body carrying out and exercising substantial governmental duties and powers similar to the State, being recognized as eligible for the special programs and services provided by the United States to Indians because of their status as Indians.”

Jarrod Lowery, a Lumbee Tribal Council member, and chairman of the tribe’s Federal Recognition Committee, told the NSJ he spent time in Raleigh working with Britt to get the language right.

“What we asked and requested from Sen. Britt was to change the state statute so the state now looks at the Lumbee Tribe not as a private non-profit, but as a local government, a local municipality,” Lowery said.

See LUMBEE, page A2

“We as a tribe thought that the government has spent too long telling Indians what they can do with their land.”

Cooper shows strong fundraising numbers in race for governor Incumbent has $5.6 million in cash on hand NSJ staff RALEIGH — Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper has a sizeable lead on his Republican challengers after candidates filed their 2019 MidYear fundraising reports with the board of elections.

As of June 30, Cooper has $5.6 million cash on hand after raising $4.8 million since the first of year.

Forest, the Republican Lt. Gov.,

had $1 million in cash at end of the same period after raising $1.3 million. Rep. Holly Grange (R-New Hanover), who recently announced her bid for the GOP nomination, raised $53,000 and had $55,000 in cash on hand.

Forest, who will officially announce his campaign at a Winston-Salem rally on Aug. 17, has been fundraising for what he called an exploratory committee. Cooper has spent $2.4 million so far during the campaign cycle compared to See COOPER, page A2

Top aides leave Dem campaign arm amid diversity complaints

By Alan Fram The Associated Press WASHINGTON, D.C. — A mass departure of top aides shook House Democrats’ campaign arm Tuesday, an exodus prompted by complaints from Hispanic and black lawmakers that the organization’s staff lacked diversity.

Rep. Cheri Bustos, D-Ill., chairwoman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, said in a statement late Monday that she had “fallen short” and promised to “work tirelessly to ensure that our staff is truly inclusive.” Executive Director Allison Jaslow announced her departure and a DCCC aide said five other senior aides had also resigned.

The shake-up also occurred as both parties are already fundraising and recruiting candidates for the 2020 elections, in which Democrats will be defending their House majority. The DCCC outspent its counterpart, the National Republican Congressional Committee, in the 2018 elections that saw Democrats regain House control after eight years in the minority.

Lawmakers complaining about the DCCC’s staff have included Texas Democratic Reps. Filemon Vela and Vicente Gonzalez and Ohio Rep. Marcia Fudge, a member of the Congressional Black Caucus.

Bustos, 57, became chairwoman of the campaign committee following the 2018 elections, arguing she would be effective because she has represented a swing district that swung to support Trump in 2016.

Hispanic lawmakers became disenchanted after she replaced top staffers, including many minorities, with aides who were largely white, said an aide to Gonzalez who spoke on condition of anonymity See DEMS, page A2

GalaxyCon Raleigh brings out-ofthis world entertainment to NC The four-day event was held at the Raleigh Convention Center NSJ staff

RALEIGH — Tens of thousands of fans swarmed the Raleigh Convention Center July 25-28 to get a glimpse of their favorite celebrity TV and movie stars, comic creators, writers and pop culture personali-

ties. In its third year, GalaxyCon Raleigh, formerly called Raleigh Supercon, expected more than 40,000 attendees.

Fans were able to attend meet-and-greets and purchase photo opportunities with dozens of celebrities, such as Richard Dean Anderson (“MacGyver”), former WWE wrester Ric Flair, cult favorites Tim Curry (“The Rocky Horror Picture Show” and “Clue”), Kristy Swanson (“Buffy the Vampire Slayer”), George Takei (“Star Trek”) and

more. In all, there were about 200 celebrities at the event.

And the fans came in droves.

“I like to see all the celebrities and the cosplay outfits,” said 15-year-old Fayetteville native Josiah Thomas as he waited in line to meet Leslie Baker, known for his role as Stanly Hudson on nine seasons of “The Office.”

Ken Hubbell of Raleigh, who attended GalaxyCon Raleigh with his niece, 17-year-old Ava Parrillo, was thrilled to talk with Anthony Michael Hall (“Nation-

al Lampoon’s Vacation,” “Sixteen Candles” and “The Breakfast Club,” just to name a few) about his 1985 movie “Weird Science.”

“I was in an environmental design class at NC State the year ‘Weird Science’ came out,” Hubbell said. “My professor told our class to go see it and write a paper about it. I went to an afternoon showing at Mission Valley Cinema, and I was the only person in the theater. It was funny and a little weird to be laughing out loud during the movie when I was alone in the room. I passed my class, in part, because of ‘Weird Science.’ Anthony got a kick out of that story.”

GalaxyCon Raleigh held events in the Raleigh Convention Center, Raleigh Marriott City Center and Sheraton Raleigh Hotel.

Lowery said the state of North Carolina recognizes seven Indian tribes across the state, and there is language that defines that recognition for each. The language they sought in S.B. 218 mirrors that of the Haliwa-Saponi Tribe in Warren and Halifax counties, who are recognized as a local government entity.

“Now that we’re looked at as a governing body, there are two things we’re going to be able to do that we could not do before,” Lowery said. “No. 1 is we can go after certain federal grants. Right now, the federal government has set-asides for local municipalities, for towns and counties — housing related, emergency services, health grants — and we’re going to be

DEMS from page A1 because he wasn’t authorized to discuss the matter publicly. New committee leaders often name long-time aides to their staffs.

In a statement last weekend, Gonzalez and Vela said the DCCC was “in complete chaos.”

They said Bustos should appoint a person of color to be executive director “to restore confidence in the organization and to promote diversity.”

Fudge also told Politico, which first reported about the DCCC’s disarray, about her unhappiness about the committee’s lack of diversity.

“It is shocking, and something needs to be done about it,” she said.

Gabrielle Brown, spokeswoman for the Congressional Black Caucus, said black House lawmakers have been holding meetings with DCCC officials for months at which they expressed similar concerns. None of the lawmakers complained about the DCCC’s performance this year in raising money and finding candidates to challenge Republicans, the committee’s main job.

Bustos has also encountered broader problems that have caused divisions within the party.

Liberals in and out of Congress were angered when she announced the DCCC would not do business with political consultants who help Democrats challenging incumbent House Democrats. Much of DCCC’s money

able to go after those grants instead of only going for grants that are set aside just for Native American Indians. And we’re really excited about that.”

Lowery described the difficulty of going through Hurricane Matthew and Hurricane Florence, and the 500 year floods that followed, without being able to access any of the funds that cities and towns were able to apply for. He said from now on, the Lumbee Tribal Government will be able to apply for these grants.

“The second big thing this will do is, when we go to a bank now, lenders really don’t want to lend to a private non-profit. But now, as a municipality, the hurdle is a lot lower. So that’s going to be a real big benefit to us,” Lowery said.

In addition to the section

dealing with how the state defines the Lumbee Tribe, the bill also removes restrictive covenants from a parcel of tribal land where the Lumbee Cultural Center is held, allowing the tribe the opportunity to sell or lease natural resources from that land, and creating a trust fund for the tribe for any revenue they receive from the sale or lease of these resources.

“The tribe bought the land for the Lumbee Cultural Center back in 2013, but there were a bunch of restrictive covenants on it, telling us what we could and could not do,” Lowery said.

“We as a tribe thought that the government has spent too long telling Indians what they can do with their land.”

Britt agrees, saying, “They want to be able to make modi-

fications so they can better care for the land. They don’t want to clear cut just to put money in reserves, but they do want to do some improvements and expand on the Pow-Wow grounds, and they aren’t allowed to cut down a single tree to do that right now.”

There are currently no plans, according to Lowery, to use the natural resources on this land for revenue, but they want the opportunity to do this if that’s what they later decide. Until then, he says the trust fund will just be there in case it’s needed.

Britt, who is from Robeson County and represents the area in the state Senate, thinks the bill will be a “game changer” for the tribe and will bring funds to the area that will benefit not just the Lumbee, but the whole surrounding community.

“It is shocking, and something needs to be done about it.” she said.

Ohio Rep. Marcia Fudge on the committee’s lack of diversity comes from dues paid by House Democrats, and incumbents have argued that an organization they finance should not give some of its lucrative business to consultants who work for challengers trying to unseat them.

Many Democrats were also unhappy when Bustos planned to attend an event in support of fellow Illinois Democratic Rep. Dan Lipinski, an abortion opponent and one of the most conservative House Democrats. Bustos ended up not attending.

A House leadership aide said top Democrats largely faulted the now-departed Jaslow for not quickly responding to the complaints. The aide, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to discuss the situation publicly, said leaders did not believe Bustos should leave her post.

Jaslow, an Iraq war veteran, said in a statement that “sometimes selfless service means having the courage to take a bow for the sake of the mission — especially when the stakes are so high.”

$1.4 million spent by Forest.

The Democratic Governor’s Association touted Cooper’s fundraising haul in a press release that focused on Forest. In the release, the DGA said Forest’s $1.3 million sum was “light years apart from Gov. Roy Cooper.” The group said that Cooper broke his fundraising record for off-year totals from 2015.

The statement also predicted a “divisive and expensive primary fight” between Forest and Grange.

“Dan Forest is so out-of-touch with North Carolina he could barely find any supporters to fund his floundering campaign,” said DGA communications director David Turner. “It’s clear whoever stands after this brutal primary fight will emerge with an empty bank account.”

In response to the DGA’s press release, Forest’s campaign spokesman Andrew Dunn said, “Kudos to the governor. He will need every dime of it.”

Beyond the total amounts, the fundraising reports show a stark contract between the fundraising bases of the two candidates. Cooper brought in his $4.8 million from over 14,000 individual donations compared to just 1,890 contributions for Forest. For Cooper, just 10% of his individual donations were for $1,000 or more. Twenty percent of Forest’s donations were for $1,000 or more.

The sources of donations also showed a stark contract between the two candidates. For Cooper, 44% of his individual donations came from donors who listed them-

selves as either retired or unemployed. Among the unemployed, the average donation was $275 and included 56 “max out” donations of $5,400. Of the unemployed donations to Cooper, 1,250 were for less than $10. Forest’s report showed zero contributions from donors who said they were unemployed, and 199 donors said they were retired.

A former attorney general, Cooper showed particular strength in fundraising from members of the bar with 737 donations coming from persons with an occupation of attorney. Likewise, Cooper did well with educators (292) and professors (250). Forest had 23 donations from teachers and no donors who listed their occupation as professor.

Forest’s report showed that he has strength among several groups against Cooper. Donors who said they were self-employed favored Forest with 210 donations from self-employed people to the Lt. Gov. and only 55 for the governor. Coo-

per lead Forest in donations from presidents and CEOs, 164 to 115.

Forest also bested Cooper in donations from people who listed farmer as their occupation, leading the governor, who is from rural Nash County, 36-15.

Cooper and Forest both took in their donations from predominantly in-state donors. For Forest, just over 1% (24) of his donations came from out-of-state. Cooper took 1,091 donations from out-of-state, representing 7.7% of his donations and 15% of the individual dollars received. New York was Cooper’s top out-of-state source, with the Empire State delivering 259 individual donations, followed by California (142), Florida (59), Maryland (51) and Massachusetts (46).

Both candidates had donors who did not report occupation or employer information. For Cooper, 135 donations exceeded $50 but did not contain industry information with 14 donors for Forest in the same category.

Courts in Utah, New Hampshire alter Medicaid expansion plans

By Lily Whitehurst The Associated Press

U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell speaks during a dinner hosted by the Bank of France in Paris, Tuesday, July 16, 2019.

Fed set to cut rates for first time in decade The Associated Press WASHINGTON D.C. — There’s little dispute that the Federal Reserve this week will do something it hasn’t done since 2008, when the U.S. economy was gripped by the Great Recession: cut its benchmark interest rate.

This time, by contrast, the economy is solid by most measures.

Consumers are spending. Unemployment is close to a half-century low. A recession hardly seems imminent.

Yet the Fed under Chairman Jerome Powell has signaled that rising economic pressures — notably from President Donald Trump’s trade wars and from a global slowdown — have become cause for concern. So has an inflation rate that remains chronically below the Fed’s target level.

So the Fed has decided that a rate cut now — and possibly one or more additional cuts to follow — could help inoculate the economy against a downturn. The idea is that lowering its key short-term rate, which can affect consumer and business loans, could encour-

age borrowing and spending and energize the economy.

Wall Street has welcomed that prospect. Since the start of the year, the mood of investors has swung decisively from angst about potentially higher rates to elation over the prospect of looser credit.

That has helped drive a stock market rally.

Still, skeptics wonder whether Fed rate cuts at this point would really do much to bolster an economy whose borrowing rates are already low. Some even worry that the central bank will be taking a needless risk: By cutting rates now, the Fed is disarming itself of some ammunition it would need in case the economy did slide toward a recession. Some also suggest that by driving rates ever lower, the Fed might be helping to fuel dangerous bubbles in stocks or other risky assets.

Other analysts foresee two or even three rate cuts this year as the Fed tries to counter global threats that risk spreading to the United States — not just prolonged trade rifts but also a potentially botched exit by Britain from the Europe-

an Union, a weaker China and the risk of a recession in Europe.

The Fed’s current rate policy marks the continuation of an abrupt policy shift beginning early this year. In December, the Fed had raised its benchmark rate for the fourth time in 2018 and projected two additional rate increases in 2019. At the time, Powell also suggested that the Fed would keep reducing its bond portfolio indefinitely — a step that would further contribute to higher rates. Stock prices tumbled for days afterward.

With U.S.-China trade talks back on track and signs of a resilient U.S. economy, some are wondering why the Fed is considering a rate cut. One theory is that the policymakers have so clearly signaled that a cut is coming that they must follow through on it.

Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics, said he thinks that in the absence of any economic calamity, only one rate cut is likely this year. David Jones, an economist who has written books about the Fed, agrees with that forecast.

“The market is getting ahead of itself in expecting a series of rate cuts,” Jones said.

Diane Swonk, chief economist at Grant Thornton, noted that some concern has arisen that the Fed may already be fueling a bubble in stocks that could eventually burst and threaten the economy.

SALT LAKE CITY, UT and CONCORD, NH— The Trump administration rejected Utah’s plan to partially expand Medicaid saying the partial implementation “would invite continued reliance on a broken and unsustainable ‘Obamacare’ system.” The move could send other states back to the drawing board who are seeking a moderate approach to expanding the federal health program.

Matt Salo, executive director of the National Association of Medicaid Directors, on Monday said the decision was disappointing. “A lot of states were clearly looking at this avenue as a potential kind of middle-ofthe-road path,” he said.

Supporters of full Medicaid expansion, on the other hand, cheered the federal decision. In a twist, the Trump administration’s rejection could trigger a fallback provision in Utah expanding coverage to more people.

“It appears that the administration has made the right decision but for all the wrong reasons,” said Jessica Schubel with the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities. “I would hope this decision is a wake-up call for Utah to move forward with full expansion rather than continue to debate alternatives.”

The state had asked to get more federal money under the Obama health care law while covering a smaller pool of people than it requires. GOP lawmakers argued the income-eligibility waiver was needed to keep costs from spiraling out of control.

The waiver would have increased the federal share to 90% of the cost even as Utah covered at least 50,000 fewer people than required by the Obama health care law.

In New Hampshire, a federal judge on Monday blocked Medicaid work requirements ruling for a third time that the Trump administration hasn’t adequately addressed the potential loss of health coverage for low-income residents.

The ruling by U.S. District Judge James E. Boasberg in Washington comes four months after he blocked similar work requirements in Arkansas and Kentucky.

The judge said “we have all

“It appears that the administration has made the right decision but for all the wrong reasons.”

Jessica Schubel, Center for Budget and Policy Priorities seen this movie before” and criticized U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Alex Azar for acknowledging the potential impact without analyzing it.

“What does the Secretary think about all this? Does he concur with New Hampshire’s apparent view that coverage loss is going to be minimal, or does he agree with the commenters that is likely to be substantial?” he wrote in vacating the agency’s approval of the rules.

While supporters argue that work requirements help participants achieve self-sufficiency, the judge ruled that they undermine the Medicaid program’s mission of providing health care for the needy. In Arkansas, more than 18,000 people lost coverage last year, but were eligible to re-enroll in January. Boasberg said New Hampshire’s program likely presents even greater coverage-loss concerns because it requires more monthly hours of work and applies to a wider age range of participants.

Though New Hampshire’s reauthorization of its expanded Medicaid program was a bipartisan effort, the work requirements have become a source of division. While Democrats praised the ruling, Republican Gov. Chris Sununu expressed disappointment. He defended the requirements, saying the state was ensuring that no one would “inappropriately lose coverage.”

“A ruling from one federal trial court judge in Washington, D.C. is only the first step in the process, and we are confident that New Hampshire’s work requirement will ultimately be upheld,” he said in a statement.

The Trump administration is appealing the earlier rulings involving Kentucky and Arkansas. A spokesman for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services declined to comment Monday.

The North Carolina Growth and Prosperity Committee handed over the entire $475,630 in its bank account one day before the criminal case was announced in April, a mid-year campaign finance report filed last week shows. The filing referenced a “legal order,” but a search of court records shows no decision requiring the committee to empty its account.

In the Fall of 2018, community members from Raleigh and beyond responded to a call to help neighbors to the East recover from another devastating hurricane. The group, known as the Mel and Vel Catering Sunday Supper, brought donors, chefs and hungry people together, from Murphy to Manteo, for one of the largest dinner Pollocksville tables in North Carolina. The result? More than $400,000 in kimfreeman213@gmail.com donations to help local restaurants, small farmers and fishermen in FEMA designated disaster areas get their lives and livelihoods back together again.

So far, $170,000 in direct contributions have been made to 14 different businesses and the families who depend on them. These businesses are small operations in Eastern North Carolina that grow fresh produce, catch fish, harvest oysters and operate restaurants. Lots of attention is paid to short-term relief and home repair after natural disasters with little assistance available to help small businesses recover. The Sunday Supper grants have helped fund promising comeback opportunities and bridge funding gaps for businesses that contribute to the local economy.

A statement from the Association of Flight Attendants calls the bite “inexcusable” and demands immediate action from the Department of Transportation. The union said it has supported the role trained support animals can provide passengers but wants standards imposed to prevent future attacks.

Muslim man says supervisor used slurs Cabarrus County A Muslim man who worked for a Concord coffee supplier alleges in a complaint that a supervisor called him slurs including “ISIS” and forced him to work extra without overtime pay. Jaber Hassan asked the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission Tuesday to investigate his treatment at S&D Coffee and Tea in Concord from 2017 until he resigned this month. He alleges a supervisor used slurs and sexually harassed him. The complaint said when Hassan complained to company officials, the supervisor retaliated by making him unload more trucks than other employees while refusing overtime pay.

Jones County Demolition started on Jones Senior High School, just outside of Trenton, earlier this month. The 69-year-old school will be replaced by a new building that will house all grades, kindergarten through high school. The new school building will be located adjacent to where Jones used to stand. The old building held one last open house in June so that former students could return and walk the halls to say their final goodbyes.

Treasurer John Palermo, Durham insurance magnate Greg Lindberg, former North Carolina Republican Party Chairman Robin Hayes and a fourth man were charged with trying to funnel state Insurance Commissioner Mike Causey huge campaign contributions in return for special treatment for his insurance companies based in the state.

All four defendants pleaded not guilty.

A trial is scheduled for September.

The indictments say the committee created with $1.5 million of Lindberg’s money was to funnel money to Causey, who reported the alleged bribery attempt. Causey’s campaign also was supposed to get another $500,000 channeled through the state GOP, the indictments said.

This budget deal may be the worst in history

The cardinal rule to climb out of any financial hole is to stop digging the hole deeper first.

IF YOU LOVE fiscal sanity, prepare to be sorely disappointed this week.

Again.

The Committee for A Responsible Federal Budget (CRFB) calls the most recent budget deal expected to be passed by the Senate and signed into law by President Donald Trump this week “The Worst In History.”

That is saying something. There have been plenty of budget deals that were flat-out terrible. All the bad ones increased deficits dramatically and, therefore, our national debt. Only a few — the 1990 Budget Agreement and the 1997 Balanced Budget Act mainly — did anything to arrest the steady inexorable climb to $22 trillion in debt today.

Elected politicians used to at least try to give credence to their claims they were serious about “balancing the budget.”

Now they don’t even try anymore.

According to CRFB: President Trump and Congress will have increased discretionary spending by 21 percent over his first term insuring annual trillion-dollar deficits into law for a long time.

President Trump said after signing the 2018 omnibus bill that exploded discretionary spending that he would “never sign another bill like this again.”

Republicans used to insist that a dollar of spending had to be cut for every dollar increase in the debt limit.

Before that, in the 1990s, a majority in Congress made up of Republicans and Blue Dog Southern Democrats forced Congress and President Bill Clinton to abide by the following simple rule of PAYGO (pay-as-you-go): For every dollar of increase in new domestic or defense spending, a dollar had to be cut in some other existing program.

For every dollar increase in new proposed entitlement spending, a dollar in a new tax had to be raised on someone to pay for it.

For every dollar in new tax cuts, a dollar had to be found in savings in entitlement programs through budget reconciliation legislation to make it “budget-neutral.”

The end results of such budget discipline from 1990 to 2001 were four budget surpluses from 1997-2001 and $600 billion of federal debt retired. The national debt owed to the public in 2001 dropped to just over $3 trillion.

The cardinal rule to climb out of any financial hole is to stop digging the hole deeper first. That means stop spending more money on expanding existing programs or starting new ones which Presidents Bush 43, Obama and now Trump, along with complicit members of Congress and Senators have failed to do for the past two decades.

Ross Perot, who recently passed away, ran for president in 1992 and 1996 as an independent. He was famous for two things: “The giant sucking sound you hear is jobs going to Mexico because of NAFTA!” and, essentially, “It is the national debt, stupid!”

He did not win a single electoral vote. He did draw national attention to the dangers of never balancing the federal budget. A Republican Congress worked with President Clinton’s chief of staff, Erskine Bowles of North Carolina,

to pass the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 that birthed the only four budget surpluses we have seen in most of our lifetimes.

Perot helped make voters ready to listen to federal spending restraint.

Are we going to wait for another economic calamity such as what we experienced from 2008-10 to get our fiscal house in order? Everyone thought that catastrophe was going to trigger an era of fiscal sanity.

They were wrong; President Obama and the Democratic Congress from 2009-11 went on an orgy of spending that put any real orgy in ancient Rome to shame.

Where are our brave and smart elected members of Congress and senators who understand budgets, economics and who can count? Why don’t they produce a budget that 218 representatives in Congress and 51 senators can support to save us from this colossally stupid build-up of debt, the largest America has ever amassed in peacetime?

Who is going to be the next “Ross Perot” 2020 at either the congressional, Senate or presidential level?

Outrage mob gets a reality check as Ga. lawmaker’s racism story quickly falls apart

She does not, however, have the right to defame another person and fan racial flames by saying things that are at odds with how it appears the situation played out according to eyewitnesses and video.

“YOU NEED TO GO BACK WHERE YOU CAME FROM!” That’s what Georgia State Rep. Erica Thomas (D) claimed in a tearful Facebook Live video that grocery store customer Eric Sparkes said to her as a cashier rang up her groceries in the express lane of the Publix Mableton location on July 19.

Her allegations were made just two days after a Wednesday Trump campaign rally in Greenville, N.C., where chants of “send her back” were started by the crowd during President Donald Trump’s remarks on Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.). Omar is originally from Somalia and has been a frequent critic of Trump’s.

Just days before the rally, Trump tweeted that Omar and three other freshman congresswomen should “go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came. Then come back and show us how it is done.” Democrats and several media outlets decried the remarks as “racist.”

Thomas, who is black, insinuated in her video that Trump’s tweets and the chants from the rally emboldened Sparkes to say “go back where you came from” to her.

The outrage mobs pounced. Several national news outlets ran with the dramatic story. Thomas’ video was viewed almost 200,000 times. Her name trended on Twitter. National Democrats jumped on her story and blamed Trump.

The only problem is that the most explosive element of Thomas’ story fell apart quickly thanks to an interview she gave the very next day.

“I don’t want to say he said, ‘Go back to your country,’ or ‘Go back to where you came from.’ But he was making those types of references is what I remember,” Thomas told the local reporter who questioned her outside of the Publix store.

Complicating matters for Thomas was the fact that Sparkes also showed up at the Publix location to counter her. He asserted he was a Cuban-American Democrat who would “vote Democrat for the rest of my life.”

Screen captures taken from his Facebook page indicate that, at the very least, Sparkes isn’t a Trump supporter. In fact, in the days prior to the confrontation, Sparkes expressly condemned Trump’s controversial tweets about sending the Omar “back.”

Several days later, Publix released a video that gave a clearer picture of what happened. While it didn’t have audio, it cast more doubt on Thomas’ story of being a victim of racism, feeling like she was in danger, at a loss for words, and having to explain to her daughter why Sparkes was (allegedly) using racist language.

It’s clear Thomas took control of the situation quickly after Sparkes approached her (not with his fists “clenched” as she originally asserted) and pointed to the express lane sign. In fact, she practically chased him out of the store. She never turned to speak to her daughter about anything.

Not a single witness corroborates her claim Sparkes told her to “go back where you came from.” In fact, one witness says it was Thomas who repeatedly told Sparkes to “go back” to where he came from. The only thing all parties agreed to was that he called Thomas a “lazy b----.”

Sparkes should never have confronted her about using the express lane. But just because he wanted to play express lane monitor and act stupidly was no excuse for her to stoke racial tensions unnecessarily.

Thomas has a right to shop in peace and to defend herself when confronted.

She does not, however, have the right to defame another person and fan racial flames by saying things that are at odds with how it appears the situation played out according to eyewitnesses and video.

Major newspapers and websites ran uncritically with this story but have now backed off, as have the outrage mobs. Unfortunately, the damage is already done.

Don’t import prescription drugs

The last four FDA commissioners have said there is no effective way to ensure drugs coming from Canada really are coming from Canada.

PRESCRIPTION DRUG pricing has been the subject of much debate over the last year.

Several states are looking at importing drugs from Canada as an answer to high prescription costs. The Florida legislature recently approved a plan to import drugs from Canada where prices are lower, rather than purchasing them domestically.

Importation programs like the ones proposed in Florida are neither safe nor effective ways to lower the price of medications.

Importation is a dangerous gamble. Neither the safety nor efficacy of imported medications can be ensured, placing every patient who takes these medications at risk. There is no way to verify these medications originated in Canada, and Canadian authorities have made it clear they will not be responsible for the safety of drugs being shipped from their country.

Often, these drugs come from what appears to be a legitimate source, but testing has shown that many are counterfeit, manufactured in unsafe conditions and contain little, if any, active pharmaceutical ingredients.

A 2017 report from the World Health Organization showed about one in 10 medications from developing countries were fake or substandard.

Under the current law, the secretary for the

Department of Health and Human Services would have to certify that the importation program does not put consumer health and safety at more risk than if the program didn’t exist. No secretary, of either political party, has ever been able to do so.

HHS Secretary Alex Azar has stated, “the last four FDA commissioners have said there is no effective way to ensure drugs coming from Canada really are coming from Canada rather than being routed from say a counterfeit factory in China.”

The safety of our prescription drugs relies on a closed system where drugs can be traced to manufacturers, distributors, pharmacies, and patients. Opening that system to foreign drugs would allow the potential for dangerous and potentially deadly medicines to land in the hands of the American public.

Patients in the United States have access to the very best cutting-edge medicines and treatments and any policies we put in place should make sure to keep that advantage, and most importantly, keep consumers safe.

YEARS AGO, it was hard to be a racist. You had to be fitted for and spend money on a white gown and don a pointy hat. You celebrated racism by getting some burlap, wrapping it around a cross, setting it ablaze and dancing around it carrying torches. Sometimes, as did Lester Maddox, you had to buy axe handles for yourself and your supporters to wield to forcibly turn away black customers from your restaurant. Or, as in the case of Theophilus “Bull” Connor, you had to learn to direct fire hoses and vicious police attack dogs against civil rights demonstrators.

Younger racists, along with their parents, had to memorize poems for whenever a black student showed up for admission to their high school or college. For example, “Two, four, six, eight, we don’t want to integrate!” Of course, there were a host of racial slurs and epithets that could be hurled, with impunity, at any black person in your presence.

In earlier times, you didn’t have to be sophisticated, but it took a bit of work, to be a racist.

Today, all that has changed. To be a racist today takes little effort. For example, one can sit back in his easy chair and declare that he’s for acrossthe-board tax cuts. That makes you a racist.

If you don’t believe me, think back to 1994 when the Republicanled Congress pushed for a tax-cut measure. Former U.S. House of Representatives member Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., denouncing the Republicans’ plan before a Manhattan audience as a form of modern-day racism said: “It’s not ‘spic’ or ‘n-----’ anymore. (Instead,) they say, ‘Let’s cut taxes.’” A few months later, he compared the GOP’s “Contract with America” to measures in Nazi Germany saying, “Hitler wasn’t even talking about doing these things.”

One can be labeled a racist through a set of “microaggressions” listed in “Diversity in the Classroom, UCLA Diversity & Faculty Development” from 2014.

Here are a few statements one should avoid: “You are a credit to your race.” “Wow! How did you become so good in math?” “There is only one race, the human race.” “I’m not racist.

I have several Black friends.” “As a woman, I know what you go through as a racial minority.”

But most instances of microaggressions are less overt.

There are college microaggressions such as a male student rolling his eyes when a female student speaks, or people not wanting to be in study groups with those of different races.

Perhaps the easiest way to be labeled a racist is to suggest that a wall be built on our border with Mexico in order to keep people from Mexico and points south from entering our nation illegally. Also, a slam-dunk charge of racism is to say that the standard practice of separating children from parents is Nazi-like. But imagine you are stopped with your child in the car and charged with a DUI in any of our 50 states. You’re going to be arrested and your child taken to protective child services. The identical practice on our southern border becomes racism.

As veteran journalist Brit Hume said about the uproar over President Donald Trump’s latest bomb-throwing: “Trump’s ‘go back’ comments were nativist, xenophobic, counterfactual and politically stupid.

But they simply do not meet the standard definition of racist, a word so recklessly flung around these days that its actual meaning is being lost.”

The president cleaned up his remarks a few days later saying: “These are people that hate our country. If you’re not happy in the U.S., if you’re complaining all the time, very simply, you can leave.” By the way, leaving isn’t Trump’s idea. Many leftists pledged to flee America altogether if Trump were elected president.

The bottom line is that when leftists have no other winning argument, they falsely accuse others of racism. Republicans cower at the charge and often give the leftists what they want. Black Americans who are octogenarians, or nearly so, need to explain what true racism is, not to correct white liberals but to inform young black people.

NATION & WORLD Pakistani army plane crashes into homes, killing at least 17 Rawalpindi, Pakistan A Pakistani military plane on a training flight crashed into homes near the garrison city of Rawalpindi before dawn Tuesday, killing at least 17 people, most of them on the ground. Fires, damaged homes and debris were visible in Mora Kalu village on the outskirts of Rawalpindi after daybreak. Troops and police cordoned off the residential area to search for plane debris and investigative evidence after the rescue efforts had ended. Five soldiers, including two army pilots, and at least 12 civilians were killed, the military said in a statement.

Residents say they woke up when they heard an explosion and saw debris of a burning plane near their homes. Army helicopters were seen hovering over the crash site later. The military said the army aircraft was on a routine training flight when it crashed, but had no information on the possible cause.

Officials say 57 dead in Brazil prison riot; 16 decapitated Rio de Janeiro, Brazil At least 57 prisoners were killed by other inmates during clashes between organized crime groups in the Altamira prison in northern Brazil Monday with 16 of the victims being decapitated, according to prison officials. Para state prison authorities said a fight erupted around 7 a.m. between the Rio de Janeirobased Comando Vermelho and a local criminal group known as Comando Classe A. State prisons chief Jarbas Vasconcelos said the fire had spread rapidly with inmates held in old container units that had been adapted for the prison while another building is under construction. The fire prevented police forces from entering the building for several hours, he told a news conference. Two prison staff members were held hostage, but eventually released. “It was a targeted attack. The aim was to show that it was a settling of accounts between the two groups, not a protest or rebellion against the prison system,” Vasconcelos said.

Authorities have not found any firearms following the riot, only makeshift knives.

Puerto Ricans anxious for new leader amid political crisis San Juan, Puerto Rico The unprecedented resignation of Puerto Rico’s governor after days of massive island-wide protests has thrown the U.S. territory into a full-blown political crisis.

Less than four days before Gov. Ricardo Rosselló steps down, no one knows who will take his place. Justice Secretary Wanda Vázquez, his constitutional successor, said Sunday that she didn’t want the job. The next in line would be Education Secretary Eligio Hernández, a largely unknown bureaucrat with little political experience.

Rosselló’s party says it wants him to nominate a successor before he steps down, but Rosselló has said nothing about his plans, time is running out and some on the island are even talking about the need for more federal control over a territory whose finances are already overseen from Washington. Rosselló resigned following nearly two weeks of daily protests in which hundreds of thousands of Puerto Ricans took to the streets, mounted horses and jet skis, organized a twerkathon and came up with other creative ways to demand his ouster.

IMF: Venezuela’s economic decline among most severe globally

2010-2015.

Werner said the IMF expects the economy of Latin America

and the Caribbean as a whole to grow 0.6% in 2019. But if the calculation is done for the rest of the region while excluding Venezuela, the regional average of projected growth is 1.3%.

“This reflects the big challenges the region faces in order to establish a process of sustainable growth,” Werner said in a news conference.

Werner said Venezuela’s prolonged crisis could push the migration from the country up to 5 million people by the end of the year. He said that exodus has meant a slight economic bump for host countries such as Colombia, even after the investment needed to support 1.5 million migrants.

The migration flow “has placed on the Colombian government the need to relax its fiscal goals and increase public spending in order so support this population,” he said. “It generates a positive impact on the economic growth.”

Werner noted that the Central Bank of Chile had cited immigration from Venezuela and other countries as one of several reasons to increase its economic growth estimates.

Werner said the effect can be positive as long as the migrants bring skills demanded by the local labor market, though it also depends on the strength of the public finances in each country.

to get opioid painkillers, but the new policy is geared to preventing over-prescribing to people who might just need the drugs for a short period of time.

Opioid painkillers prescribed following a surgery unwittingly became a gateway for some people caught up in the nation’s opioid epidemic. Unused drugs could also wind up being used by a family member or acquaintance who had become addicted.

Under the new policy, the initial prescription will be for a 7-day supply, instead of up to 30 days, the official said. Patients will be able get up to three refills of 7 days apiece. Formal re-authorization that involves consulting a clinical professional will be required every 28 days.

Administration officials said the federal government is following the lead of several states

that have already restricted opioid prescriptions for their employees.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently announced that overdose deaths appear to have declined last year for the first time in nearly three decades. Data show nearly 68,000 reported deaths in 2018 as compared to more than 70,000 in 2017. The latest numbers are still considered provisional, but government experts expect the final tally will end up below 69,000 deaths.

The improvement was driven by a drop in deaths from heroin and prescription painkillers.

But deaths that involve fentanyl, a much more powerful opioid, are still going up. Fentanyl is an ingredient in many street drugs.

It’s shipped into the country by mail from labs in China, or smuggled from Mexico.

The Associated Press WASHINGTON, D.C. — The cumulative decline of the Venezuelan economy since 2013 will reach 65%, among the deepest five-year contractions around the world over the last half century, the International Monetary Fund said Monday.

Alejandro Werner, director of the IMF’s Western Hemisphere Department, said the Venezuelan decline is historic because it is unprecedented in the hemisphere and also because it is the only one among top global five-year contractions that is unrelated to armed conflicts or natural disasters.

The IMF adjusted its 2019 forecast for the South American country to a contraction of 35% rather than the 25% decline expected back in April due to a sharp fall in the oil production, which has already plunged to its lowest level in seven decades.

Werner said the inflation forecast for 2019 has also been adjusted downward from the 10 million percent expected in April to below 1 million because of a recent increase of the legal reserve ratio imposed on local banks by the Venezuelan Central Bank.

India’s tiger population rises to nearly 3,000

By Ashok Sharma The Associated Press NEW DELHI — India’s tiger population has grown to nearly 3,000, making the country one of the safest habitats for the endangered animals.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi released the tiger count for 2018 on Monday and said it’s a “historic achievement” for India, whose big cat population had dwindled to 1,400 about 14-15 years ago.

India estimates its tiger population every four years.

Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar said the tiger population was 2,226 in the last count, in 2014.

The tiger is India’s national animal and is categorized as endangered under the Wildlife Protection Act. The human conflict with tigers has gradually increased since the 1970s, when India started a tiger conservation program that carved out sanctuaries in national parks and made it a crime to kill them.

“With around 3,000 tigers, India has emerged as of one of the biggest and safest habitats for them in the world,” Modi said, praising all the stakeholders involved in the country’s tiger conservation exercise.

“Nine years ago, it was decided in St. Petersburg (Russia) that the target of doubling the tiger population would be 2022. We in India completed this target four years in advance,” Modi said.

He also said that the number of protected areas in the country

A Royal Bengal tiger rests at its enclosure at the Alipore zoo in Kolkata, India, Monday, July 29, 2019. rose to 860 last year from 692 in 2014. Similarly, the number of community reserves has gone up to 100 from 43 in 2014.

Belinda Wright, founder of the Wildlife Protection Society of India, based in New Delhi, said India should be very proud of its conservation achievement as the latest study was a much larger and more thorough estimation of the tiger population than had previously been done.

“But we still have a long way to go to secure a long-term future for wild tigers,” she cautioned, adding that human-tiger conflict was one of the biggest conservation

challenges because India has so many people.

The conflict between wildlife, confined to ever-shrinking forests and grasslands, and India’s human population is deadly.

Government data show about one person is killed every day by tigers or elephants.

Last week, some enraged villagers chased and killed a tiger with sticks after it killed a woman working in a farm in the northern Indian village of Khiri. The region is part of the Pilibhit Tiger Range, forest officer Vivek Tiwari said.

Tiwari said the police have arrested four villagers. The area is

around 350 kilometers (215 miles) east of New Delhi.

Wright said the government should not relax any protection measure and should avoid “huge linear intrusions, including highways, railways, electric power line and canals through protected areas, as this leads to increased human-tiger conflict.”

India’s elephants and tigers are some of the most hunted animals in the country, sought for their ivory tusks or bones that are sold on the black market for use in unproven, traditional Chinese medicine. Elephants are also threatened by moving trains.

Frequent Fridays for Wake football to start season The Demon Deacons play their first three games of the season on nights usually reserved for high school football

By Brett Friedlander North State Journal CHARLOTTE — In an effort to raise awareness and attendance at its home football games, Wake Forest has initiated a marketing plan titled “I’m a Fan” for the upcoming 2019 season.

A more appropriate title would have been “Friday Night Lights.”

No, the Deacons didn’t sign Mike Winchell to play quarterback or replace coach Dave Clawson with Billy Bob Thornton. It’s because their first three games, two of which are at home, are on Friday nights.

The Deacons will open their season at BB&T Field against Utah State on Aug. 30, then play at Rice on Sept. 6 before returning to Winston-Salem for a highly anticipated and unconventional nonconference meeting with ACC rival North Carolina.

It’s a schedule that has evoked mixed emotions from everyone involved —players, coaches and fans to the NC High School Athletic Association. But as Clawson points out, it’s not something he or anyone else associated with his program can control.

“Wake Forest is in such demand now to be on national television,” he said at the ACC’s recent Football Kickoff event in Charlotte. “That’s what we’ve got to do.”

Clawson was being sarcastic about his Deacons’ national pro-

file, although they are the only ACC school to have won bowl games in each of the past three seasons. But there is truth in the assertion that television is responsible for the proliferation of Friday night dates.

The Utah State game will be one of the first aired by the new ACC Network. Rice was moved to accommodate Conference USA’s television package, while UNC, which was originally scheduled for a Thursday night, was switched to Friday at 6 p.m. by ESPN. “Of course, I’d rather play on Saturdays,” Clawson said. “I’m a traditionalist. I would love Fridays to be for high school, Saturdays for college and Sundays for the NFL.” Those lines are becoming more and more blurred every year, though, forcing everyone involved to make adjustments.

That’s especially true when it comes to recruiting. Instead of going to high school games and having personal contact with players on the first three Fridays of the upcoming season, Clawson and his staff will be on their own sideline trying to win games.

Then on Saturdays, those same

IN THE AMAZON PRIME documentary series on last season’s Carolina Panthers, cameras follow Cam Newton as he gives out food to the Charlotte homeless on Thanksgiving.

While most of the people gathered around him were excited to meet the Panthers quarterback and receive the holiday meal, one man wanted to talk about the previous week’s loss to Detroit.

Newton overthrew an open receiver in the end zone on the final play — a two-point conversion attempt that would have won the game for Carolina.

“You could’ve run on that last play,” the man argues.

“Yeah,” Newton sighs as he walks up the street with his bags of food, “I could’ve did a lot of things, man.”

The scene could have been a macrocosm of the Panthers season, which ended in a mixture of missed opportunities and resignation. Carolina battled through a seven-game losing streak while Newton struggled through a shoulder injury that rendered him incapable of throwing the deep ball.

As training camp opens for the Panthers, we may see a new version of Cam Newton. He had postseason surgery to repair the shoulder immediately after the season. He also turned 30 years old in May. While he still admits the shoulder is “a work in progress,” he’s ready to go deep again. He’s also ready to play things a little closer to the vest than in his younger days.

In an interview with NBC Sports’ Peter King, Newton said he “doesn’t think he has to be Cam Superman anymore.”

“Your game has to change,” Newton told King.

“It’s not that I’m limited with certain things, or that I’m not capable of doing certain things. It’s just other ways to do it.

As Newton told his Thanksgiving morning critic, there are a lot of things he could do. He just may choose the safer options. That could be no more lead blocking on run plays, no more wild scampers up field.

Or, it could mean more of the same. Offensive coordinator Norv Turner, for one, isn’t convinced.

“Are you believing that?” he asked, addressing the “Cam Superman” comment. “Wait until the first game. … It’s great that he says it, but wait until it’s third and goal and he takes off and dives over about five guys.”

The idea isn’t to have Newton play it safe. Turner and the rest of the coaching staff knows he’ll still take risks while in the heat of competition.

Hopefully, though, he’ll let some of the other talented skill position players take on the dirty work on occasion.

“Obviously, part of his game is the physical nature of his game,” Turner said. “Running the ball,

Williamson continues tradition of rich shoe deals for NC products Players with ties to the state fill the list of the richest NBA shoe contracts

By Shawn Krest North State Journal ZION WILLIAMSON’S shoes continue to attract the attention of fans and media around the nation.

Williamson’s Nike’s earned headlines in February when he planted his foot a half a minute into Duke’s first game against North Carolina. The shoe split open, causing him to fall awkwardly. He would miss several weeks with a knee injury resulting from the incident.

Despite the faulty shoe, Williamson signed his first professional shoe contract with a Nike subsidiary — Jordan Brand. While numbers weren’t immediately available, the contract was widely publicized as the largest rookie shoe deal in NBA history.

That title currently belongs to LeBron James, who had a seven-year, $87 million deal with a $10 million signing bonus.

Initial reports had Williamson’s deal was for five years, $75 million, which, on a per-year basis would give him the top spot. There are other reports that have Williamson earning nine figures from the deal, which would eclipse James for total value.

Regardless of the true value, it’s clear that Williamson’s rookie shoe deal is the biggest of anyone with connections to the state of North Carolina.

The previous state champion was Vince Carter. The former Tar Heel’s first deal was with Puma.

Then a Toronto Raptor, Carter signed for 10 years, $50 million.

That’s the fifth-largest rookie deal of all time. At the time, he was the only current NBA player wearing Pumas and the first in five years to

Zion Williamson’s exploding Nike against North Carolina on Feb. 20 made headlines, but it didn’t prevent the former Duke superstar from signing with the shoe company’s subsidiary, Jordan Brand, upon turning pro. sign with the company.

The pairing lasted about 16 months before the two sides parted, with Carter claiming Puma breached the contract and the company accusing Carter of leaving. A court ruled that Carter had to pay $14.5 million to Puma, which was covered as part of his new $30 million deal with Nike.

The previous Jordan Brand record for a rookie deal went to Carmelo Anthony, who signed a six-year, $40 million contract to wear the UNC and Chicago Bulls

legend’s signature shoe line. It’s the sixth-largest rookie contract awarded by any brand. He stayed with Jordan following his rookie contract and now makes an estimated $5 million a year to wear them.

The previous high mark for a rookie from Duke was held by Grant Hill, who signed a five-year contract for $30 million to wear Fila, the seventh-highest rookie contract ever. Both sides seemed happy with the deal, because he resigned with the company in 1997

for seven years and $80 million.

The partnership has extended into retirement. Fila announced last year that Hill agreed to a lifetime endorsement deal with the company.

Raleigh’s John Wall is eighth on the rookie shoe money list. He signed a five-year contract with Reebok that paid $25 million and resulted in all kinds of drama.

Wall was unhappy with performance incentives that he failed to reach, lowering his rookie payout to about $2.5 million. He also dis-

Pull of ACC led Satterfield to Louisville After 23 years at his alma mater, the former App State coach is focused on consistency with the Cardinals

By Brett Friedlander North State Journal CHARLOTTE — Scott Satterfield has two football loves.

The first is Appalachian State, the school at which he was a star quarterback and, for the past six years, a coach who led the Mountaineers to new heights in its transition to FBS status.

The other is the ACC, a conference he grew up watching as a youngster in Durham and whose gravitational pull remains so strong, it lured him away from his alma mater to take the job coaching at Louisville.

“It’s a dream come true to be here, it really is having grown up right there in ACC country with Carolina, Duke, State, Wake, all these teams,” Satterfield said earlier this month at the ACC’s Football Kickoff media event, adding that he felt as though there wasn’t much more left to be accomplished by staying with the Mountaineers.

“I love App, the 23 years I spent there. But the opportunity to coach, to be a head coach in the Atlantic Coast Conference is a tremendous honor for me. These jobs just don’t become available. … If that’s a goal or dream of yours, you have to take advantage of it.”

The thing about dreams is that you eventually wake up from them.

In Satterfield’s case, the dream of getting hired by an ACC program is about to be tempered by the reality of the rebuilding job the 46-year-old coach faces with the Cardinals.

Louisville has fallen from a nine-game winner that shared the ACC’s Atlantic Division title with Clemson and boasted a Heisman Trophy quarterback in Lamar Jackson just three years ago to a disjointed squad that went 0-8 in the conference last season under embattled former coach Bobby Petrino.

This year’s team was picked to finish last in the division again, but Satterfield is confident that he and his staff will be able to prove

Scott Satterfield, pictured in December after leaving Appalachian State to take the Louisville job, says coaching in the ACC has been a lifelong dream. the experts wrong — just as they did at App State during the transition from FCS. Satterfield believes there are many similarities between his current task and the one he faced with the Mountaineers before they went on to win four straight bowl and three Sun Belt Conference championships while compiling a 40-11 record since 2015.

“When I took over at App, we were going from the Southern Conference to the Sunbelt Conference, which is a step up. There’s a lot of things we had to do,” he said. “We went from 63 scholarships to 85 scholarships. You had to build that team out to be competitive.

“We’re kind of doing that here.

I’m going to draw from the experience I had at App of how we want to build our team out as we move forward. It takes a little bit of time. Obviously, people throw the word ‘culture’ around a lot.

We’re changing the way we do things, which is culture. But you have to be consistent on a daily basis.”

It’s a process he said isn’t going to happen overnight.

“People talk about, ‘How are you going to measure success next fall?’ It’s not in terms of wins and losses for me,” Satterfield said.

“I love App, the 23 years I spent there. But the opportunity to coach, to be a head coach in the Atlantic Coast Conference is a tremendous honor for me.”

Scott Satterfield, Louisville coach “It’s in terms of attitude and effort on a daily basis. That’s going to be how we determine success.

If you’re doing that, we’re doing those kind of things, we will end up winning games, we will end up having a very successful program.”

The difference between Satterfield and his predecessor is already as noticeable as the famous twin spires at Churchill Downs, which is located literally across the street from Louisville’s Cardinal Stadium.

Petrino was brash, outspoken and sometimes out of control — both on and off the field. Satterfield is more quiet and calculated.

As was the case at App State, he

plans to call his own plays rather than delegating the task to an offensive coordinator.

Although he and his players have had only 15 practices to get to know each other this spring, senior wide receiver Seth Dawkins said that he and his teammates like what they’ve seen from their new coach.

“We respect Coach Satterfield so much,” Dawkins said. “He’s very family-oriented, man. He’s a great person. We feel we can trust him. They put their expectations out there the first day. We’re just following him. He’s known for winning. We’re trusting the process. Whatever it takes to win, we’re willing to do as a team.”

The Cardinals will have their work cut out for them this season, starting with an opening game on Labor Day night against Notre Dame. Regardless of the degree of difficulty, it’s an occasion Satterfield has been anticipating since those Saturday afternoons watching ACC games on television in the living room of his youth.

“For me to be able to play in this league and to be able to come back, play in Raleigh, play in Winston, coming back to where I grew up,” he said, “it’s pretty cool for me.”

$75M Reported total of Zion Williamson’s five-year shoe deal with Nike

liked his signature model shoe and stopped wearing it, saying they hurt his feet.

After three years, Wall left Reebok for its parent company, Adidas. When the rookie contract expired, he turned down a new contract with the company for a reported eight years, $66 million.

He wanted something closer to James Harden’s $200 million deal and spent two years as a “sneaker free agent” before ending up back with Adidas again.

Marvin Bagley III has the 10th-largest rookie shoe deal. The Duke one-and-done made the surprising choice to go with Puma, who was attempting to become an NBA factor again following the Carter debacle decades earlier. He signed for five years, $12 million.

Williamson has a long way to go before he begins competing with some of the biggest (non-rookie) shoe contracts in league history.

At the top of the list, of course, is Jordan. In addition to having his own brand, Jordan’s Nike money still blows the ceiling — and the roof — off of the charts. Fifteen years after he played his last NBA game, Jordan still earns an estimated $110 million a year in shoe money.

Among current NBA players, the top earning shoe contract from the state isn’t from UNC or Duke but from Davidson. Steph Curry earns an estimated $12 million a year from his deal with Under Armour. That’s less than LeBron James, Kevin Durant and James Harden (as well as the retired Kobe Bryant) but still an impressive sum.

Next up is former Blue Devil Kyrie Irving, who earns $8 million a year from Nike, eighth-most among active players.

WAKE from page B1 coaches can do nothing but stand helplessly while their rivals get a leg up on recruits by hosting large groups of them at their stadiums.

“We play North Carolina on a Friday night and what a great game for us to have recruits come to,” Clawson said. “How many recruits are coming to it? They can’t, but it’s the new reality.

“We have an ACC Network. We have agreements with ESPN. We sign contracts. There’s revenue involved. You can complain about it, but these things help our program and they help support our programs.”

Not everyone is as philosophical about the trade-off.

High school coaches and administrators across the state have expressed their displeasure with the ACC’s decision to play on Fridays because of the affect it will have on attendance at their games.

“At the high school level, Friday night football games provide much of the revenue that underwrites other athletic opportunities for students,” NCHSAA commissioner Que Tucker said last spring, “which in turn may help to provide them with an opportunity to perhaps reach the next level of competition.”

Playing high school and college games on the same night will force some fans to make a choice on which to attend. That’s an even more difficult decision for parents with children playing at both levels.

“My mom and dad are not happy because we have a sophomore in high school — my brother — who’s playing on Friday nights, so that’s where it stinks,” said Deacons running back Cade Carney, a native of Advance in Davie County. “They’re going to have to make a decision.

They’re torn which game to go to.

I hate it for the families that have brothers.”

As for Carney, playing on Friday nights won’t feel any different than playing any other night of the week, especially since all of the Deacons’ Friday dates are in consecutive weeks at the start of the season.

“From the perspective of a guy who’ll be playing in them, it will be Saturday to me because we start the season with it and there’s no adjustment,” he said.

According to teammate Justin Strnad, there’s at least one major upside to Wake’s unconventional early schedule.

“I’ll take Friday night over noon 100-degree game any day of the week,” the senior linebacker said.

“I think it’s going to be an awesome opportunity.”

Jones inching closer to win, new contract with Joe Gibbs Racing The 23-year-old has eight top-10 finishes since early May

By Dan Gelston The Associated Press LONG POND, Pa. — Erik Jones started the season on the hot seat for Joe Gibbs Racing. Now, 21 races into the season, he is on a hot streak for the best team in NASCAR and making an easy case for a new contract.

With five races left before NASCAR sets the playoff field, Jones is close to clinching a spot in the 16-driver lineup on points, though he is still looking for a win that would guarantee him a shot at a championship.

Kyle Busch, Martin Truex Jr. and Sunday’s Pocono Raceway winner, Denny Hamlin, are the elite stars that make JGR the class of NASCAR. The 23-yearold Jones could wiggle his way into the conversation should he find his way into Victory Lane.

Jones was runner-up in the No. 20 Toyota to Hamlin at Pocono and finished third each of the previous two races at Kentucky and New Hampshire. Jones has scored eight of his 11 top-10 finishes since early May to move up to 13th in the standings. Nine drivers have clinched a playoff spot with wins and Aric Almirola, Ryan Blaney and William Byron would need disastrous finishes to miss the playoffs. Jones, Kyle Larson, Clint Bowyer and Ryan Newman hold the final spots, with seven-time champion Jimmie Johnson on the outside nipping at the fringe contenders.

Jones plans to make it a four-driver class for JGR in the playoffs.

“We’re doing great building points, but it would be great to knock a win out,” he said. “We’re just so close, it stings a little bit more when you get close to it.”

His seven top-five finishes so far are three shy of last year’s total, though he won his only career Cup race in July 2018 at Daytona.

He failed to advance out of the first round of the playoffs and finished 15th.

Jones opened this season with a third-place finish in the Daytona 500 before falling into a funk: four straight races where he failed to finish better than 13th. He ended that skid with a fourth at Texas, only to finish 14th or worse over the next three races.

“We’re doing great building points, but it would be great to knock a win out.”

Erik Jones The pressure for better results was mounting — JGR has prized prospect Christopher Bell stashed in the second-tier Xfinity Series, thirsty for an open seat. Gibbs has no mercy when it comes to dumping drivers (including Joey Logano, Daniel Suarez, Matt Kesenth) when the next big thing comes along.

Gibbs said the organization is working on a new deal for Jones.

“I just say this, there’s sponsors involved, so many relationships involved, you’re trying to get through all that and work it all out,” Gibbs said. “I think honestly that’s part of Erik’s world. It doesn’t go easy sometimes. He knows. I keep him updated, we do. He knows we’re working as hard as we can. Hopefully, it will be one of those things will get put in place here pretty quick.”

JGR has since formed an alliance with Leavine Family Racing and could put Bell in the No. 95 Toyota next season. A deal could be worked to get Bell in a second Leavine car, but expansion might stretch the small team too much.

Bell could also just replace driver Matt DiBenedetto, who has three top-10s in his last six races.

Jones raced his rookie season in 2017 on a one-year loaner contract to Gibbs’ sister team, the now-defunct Furniture Row Racing. He and crew chief Chris Gayle have since hit on a formula that has pushed them close to a checkered flag. Hendrick Motorsports driver Alex Bowman had three straight runner-up finishes in one stretch this season before he finally broke through and won at Chicagoland.

Sometimes in racing, getting so close is a sure sign a win is on the horizon.

“We all know with young guys, Denny has been there, drivers have been there, once they get it, it can be something special for them,” Gibbs said. “I think Erik is right on the verge. I know for everybody at that race team, we’re all excited about Erik and his future, doing everything we can to kind of get everything in place to make sure we have him taken care of.”

It’s similar to the approach the team has taken with Christian McCaffrey. The running back is only in his third year in the league, so age isn’t an issue. Size is, however, as there are concerns the 5-foot-11, 205-pounder will wear down if he gets hit too often.

Turner feels that the way the team is using McCaffrey minimizes that risk.

“We’re concerned about Christian’s touches,” Turner admitted. “He had something like 320 touches (last year). Carries take more out of you than completions, and he had about 210 carries. I’ve had six different guys that had 400 touches. He isn’t even close to some of the guys I’ve been with.”

Still, there’s more they can do.

cent of the time,” Turner said.

“That’s documented. Now, a lot of the times, he’s running swings, getting out of the way (of contact).

But we need to get someone else on the field. We’re not going to minimize his touches.”

In other words, they’ll cut back on the risk during times when McCaffrey isn’t doing what he does best, without reducing the times he has the ball in his hands. A similar plan should help keep Newton on the field and effective.

In the first training camp practice, Newton got the chance to show off his repaired shoulder, launching a deep ball that drew a reaction from observers — players, media and fans.

“Everything we’ve been told and everything we saw pointed to him being ready to go,” coach Ron Rivera said. “It did a lot not just for us but for him — uncorking one like he did and just letting it go.”

It’s enough to give hope that perhaps the homeless people will be a little happier to see him this Thanksgiving.

Are the Hurricanes better?

Carolina added more firepower at forward, but defense and goaltending are question marks

By Cory Lavalette North State Journal RALEIGH — The doldrums of the NHL offseason are officially here. Most (looking at you, Justin Williams) of the available free agents are signed, rosters are coming into focus, and there are fewer and fewer questions to be answered heading into the season.

The biggest question for the Carolina Hurricanes is simple: Did the team’s offseason moves make them better?

Here’s a look at each of the position groups and whether the changes made will result in a team that can improve on last year’s regular season and perhaps even advance further in the playoffs than the 2018-19 squad’s run to the Eastern Conference Final.

Forwards In: Ryan Dzingel, Erik Haula; Out: Micheal Ferland, Greg McKegg; TBD: Williams Regardless of Williams’ decision (the team still thinks the captain will come back), the Hurricanes forward corps looks stronger with the addition of Dzingel and Haula. Dzingel scored 26 goals and totaled 56 points in a season split between Ottawa and Columbus, while Haula scored 29 times two years ago but had his 2018-19 season derailed after just 15 games by a knee injury.

Neither brings the physical style and intimidation factor of Ferland, but the Hurricanes had soured on Ferland (17 goals, 40 points last season) and added more speed and finishing ability to the lineup.

McKegg proved to be a valuable depth forward, but the addition of Haula moves Lucas Wallmark into his fourth-line center role a year after he was the No. 3 pivot.

The Hurricanes should also see more out of Andrei Svechnikov, who scored 20 goals in his rookie season but didn’t register a power play goal in his first sea-

son. Throw in that Martin Necas — the team’s first round pick in 2017 who scored 16 goals and had 52 points for the AHL’s Charlotte Checkers in his first season in North America — is expected to make the team, and Carolina has more talent up front than a year ago.

Verdict: It’s better Defense In: Gustav Forsling; Out: Calvin de Haan The Hurricanes won’t be able to send Haydn Fleury to the AHL without waivers this season, so something had to give on the Carolina blue line. It ended up being de Haan, who had a solid first season with the team after signing a four-year, $18.2 million contract last summer but was traded to Chicago in late June.

The move — which sent de Haan and prospect Aleksi Saarela to the Blackhawks for goalie Anton Forsberg and depth defenseman Gustav Forsling — cleared cap space that Carolina needed to add Dzingel while getting a high-priced player off the team’s third pairing.

But will the defense be better?

Fleury is still unproven — he’s bounced between the AHL and NHL the past two seasons and is still looking for his first NHL goal after 87 games — and Trevor van Riemsdyk is recovering from shoulder surgery and will add responsibility in the No. 5 spot.

The wild card is Jake Bean, who made huge strides in his first pro season. The 2016 first round pick had 13 goals and 31 assists with the Checkers last season, adding five more points in the team’s run to the Calder Cup. While Fleury brings size and some physicality to go along with ability to kill penalties, Bean is an offense-first defenseman who could fill in on the power play.

Verdict: It’s weaker Goaltending In: Anton Forsberg, James Reimer; Out: Scott Darling, Curtis McElhinney If the Hurricanes can get the same level of goaltending they got last season, they’ll take it.

26 Goals last season for free agent forward Ryan Dzingel The only returning candidates for the tandem are Petr Mrazek and AHL Goaltender of the Year Alex Nedeljkovic. Carolina traded Darling — who never won consecutive games with the Hurricanes — for Reimer, while adding Forsberg to the mix in the de Haan trade.

Reimer was the heir apparent to Roberto Luongo in Florida, but his struggles in Sunrise — and the Panthers’ opportunity to sign Sergei Bobrovsky this offseason — led to his departure from Florida.

Like the departed McElhinney — a perfect foil last season to the emotional Mrazek — Reimer is a good locker room guy who will be comfortable in a backup role, while Nedejkovic has nothing left to prove in the AHL but could still find himself in Charlotte since he doesn’t require waivers. Forsberg is a solid insurance policy — he has NHL experience and can fill in if needed.

Verdict: It’s complicated Overall The Hurricanes defense in a strong point, even without de Haan, and consistent scoring was still a concern heading into the offseason despite the deep playoff run. So Carolina is banking on even more from its topend defenders with added responsibility for van Riemsdyk and Fleury, plus opportunity for Bean.

As always, the goaltending will be key. If Mrazek can play as he did the second half of last season and either Reimer or Nedeljkovic offers enough support to make the tandem work, Carolina will be better than they were last regular season. If the goalies falter, the Hurricanes will be hardpressed to match last spring’s success — especially if they don’t have Williams to steady the ship as captain.

That’s not to say they aren’t socially conscious. A stark illustration can be found in “Birmingham Jail,” lead crooner and guitarist Dave Wilson’s gut-wrenching account of the 1963 church bombings which took the lives of four young girls.

Around 2006, the high, lonesome vocal harmonies and dulcet, stirring strings of Chatham County Line caught the attention of famed Norwegian musical artist, Jonas Fjeld, who’s invitation for the band to join him overseas resulted in the release of a live album. Much to their shock and surprise, the album went gold, earning the quartet rock-star status in Scandinavia.

Recently, fellow North Carolina bluegrass dynamos The Steep Canyon Rangers asked CCL to pick up a few dates supporting Steve Martin and Martin Short’s music and comedy tour. For those of you who don’t know, Steve Martin has been playing banjo with Steep Canyon Rangers for years.

In 2019 Chatham County Line released their ninth album, Sharing the Covers, a collection of songs by others they want the world to hear, hopefully enjoy, and discover the artists who originally wrote them.

I caught up with multi-instrumentalist John Teer, to chat about the early days, his influences, topping the Norwegian charts, and

happened? Were you nominated for their version of the Grammy?

What was it about your music that struck accord with Norwegians?

NSJ: What N.C. artists are you into these days? It’s phenomenal how much amazing music comes out of N.C. and the triangle.

What’s your take on that?

Something in the water?

Hartford’s “Joseph’s Dream” being one. What was the thinking behind that? Is that what Sharing the Covers is all about?

JT: We thought, if we were goanna do cover songs, let’s only do the deep cuts, let’s do the cool covers that we know about that no one else does. No popular stuff, just these cool underground tunes that we can show to the world. That’s sort of the idea behind the song selection on Sharing the Covers.

NSJ: What was going on in the Triangle leading up to the formation of CCL? What was the vibe, and who were you going out to see and hear? what the future holds for the quartet.

NSJ: What shaped your tastes? Got you into music? How and when did Bluegrass become your thing?

JT: Well, it started later. My mom started me on violin at age three, so I had no choice in the matter. She started me with the Suzuki method of Violin training.

Freshman year, I heard Nirvana’s Smells Like Teen Spirit, and it just changed everything for me.

I’m still an insanely huge Black Sabbath fan. In high school, I was consistently listening over and over again to every song by Black Sabbath ever.

NSJ: Wow, I was not expecting that. What about bluegrass? After high school, you studied fiddle under Jan Johansson. Was that the turning point?

JT: Yeah, he got me into all the classics like Bill Monroe, and had me go back and listen to everything, and the roots of all the music. That kind of opened my eyes and ears to that sound of bluegrass and where it all began.

NSJ: In high school, I was lucky to see you, Chandler Holt and others in local Raleigh band, Burgeon.

To this day, I still love many of the songs you chose to play. John

JT: For me, the mid 90’s was all about that Alt-Country movement.

It was happening and you could feel it in the air. There was a sense of, damn, is this the new Seattle? Is this the new thing happening in Raleigh? In a way, it was. I look back fondly at going to The Cave and seeing Tift Merit, Ryan Adams playing with Whiskeytown at The Brewery, Six String Drag crushing it at Sadlacks on Hillsborough Street.

The Spectator was a huge part of learning about all of that stuff, and we wanted to be part of that community.

NSJ: Tell me about Norway.

CCL performed with Jonas, the live record came out, then what

JT: I’m huge fan of Mike Taylor (Hiss Golden Messenger) and that album, Heart like a Levee, and Matt Douglas. That whole band is just amazing. Phil Cook’s projects are just phenomenal. He’s got this soul and his finger on the pulse. We’re so happy to see what Mandolin Orange has been doing, Mipso Trio. Matt Phillips! He’s young and hungry, I see something special in that kid. It’s amazing, there’s just so many amazing bands from this state.

NSJ: What’s next for Chatham County Line?

JT: This past February, we made another record with Jonas Fjeld and Judy Collins in Asheville which we will be touring with her in the fall, and in December we are going to Norway and Europe with them. The album comes out in November. It’s Judy Collins and Jonas Fjeld and we’re basically the backing band for the whole record.

NSJ: I have to ask about your experience with Steve Martin and Martin Short.

JT: It’s been incredible to be able to perform with those guys.

They’re just hilarious, and really down to earth on and off stage.

Very kind and welcoming, and we’ve played all these amazing theaters. One night, Steve Martin looked at a goofy video of myself I put on Instagram and started cracking up. Martin Short looks at me and he’s like, hey how about that? You just made Steve Martin laugh.

NSJ: Amazing. Thanks, John.

Chatham County Line are: John Teer (Mandolin, fiddle, vocals), Chandler Holt (Banjo, vocals), Dave Wilson (vocals, guitar), and Greg Reading (bass, pedal steel, piano, vocals)

Avoid frequent flipping If you are cooking food by the direct method (hamburgers, hot dogs, boneless chicken breasts, small steaks, vegetables, etc.), flip only once halfway through the cooking time. All protein will stick to the grates as soon as it makes contact with the hot grill grates. As it cooks, it will naturally release itself, and that is when you can turn it over with a pair of tongs. Just remember to oil the food, not the grates!

Never oil the grill Many people oil the cooking grates — big blunder! Follow my mantra: “Oil the food, not the grates!” If you brush oil on hot cooking grates (and a lit grill), you run the risk of a big flareup. The oil that you have brushed on will instantly burn leaving a sticky residue that will “glue” your food to the grates, making it stick, break apart and dry out_ like dehydrating food. If you oil the food, it will stay juicy, promote caramelization_those great grill marks! And help to prevent “stickage.”

Don’t put food on a cold grill

July 30-Aug. 4

turn all the burners off, remove the food and extinguish the flames with kosher salt or baking soda. In a worst-case scenario, use a fire extinguisher but know that it will ruin your grill.

By Elizabeth Karmell The Associated Press

Always preheat a gas grill with all burners on high or wait until charcoal briquettes are covered with a white-gray ash.

Preheating also burns off residue and makes it easier to clean the grill. Contrary to popular belief, you don’t ever need to cook on a grill that is hotter than 550 F. The hotter the grill, the more likely you will burn the outside of the food before the inside is cooked.

Clean that dirty grill An outdoor grill is like a castiron skillet. It gets better and better the more you use it, but you do need to clean it every time you use it. Clean the grill grates twice every cook-out with a stiff metal bristle grill cleaning brush_before and after you cook.

Don’t sauce too soon

heat (i.e., to sear a tenderloin, or large steak) before moving it to indirect heat to finish the cooking process. Remember this general rule of thumb: If the food takes less than 20 minutes to cook, use the DIRECT METHOD. If the food takes more than 20 minutes to cook, use the INDIRECT METHOD.

If I had a dime for every time I saw someone pour thick sweet barbecue sauce on bone-inchicken pieces or a whole rack of ribs while they were raw, I would be a very wealthy griller!

All barbecue sauces have a lot of sugar in them and sugar burns very quickly. Almost always burning the outside of the food before the inside cooks. Generally I only brush food with sauce during the final 10-15 minutes of cooking time. With ribs that cook 2-3 hours, I will brush with a diluted sauce (1/2 beer and 1/2 sauce) for the final 30 minutes of cooking time.

The right way to deal with flare-ups

Resist testing for doneness by cutting.

Never use a water bottle to extinguish a flare-up. Spraying water on a hot fire can produce steam vapors which may cause severe burns. The water can also crack the porcelain-enamel finish, resulting in damage to your grill. Fire loves oxygen, so cook with the lid down and don’t peek. Repeatedly lifting the lid to “peek” and check the food while it’s cooking lengthens cooking time. If you have a full-on fire,

Cutting your food to test for doneness is another common way people bungle their food.

When you cut any protein, you are letting the precious juices escape and if the food is undercooked, the area where it was cut will be over-cooked when you put it back on the grill. Use an instant-read meat thermometer to test for doneness, and always let your food rest for at least 5 minutes before cutting into it.

If you do this, it will never be a big job to clean your grill. If you don’t have a grill cleaning brush, crumble a ball of heavy-duty aluminum foil and hold it in a pair of 12-inch locking chef tongs to use to clean the grill.

Know the difference between direct and indirect heat The most frequent mistake is to choose the wrong cooking method. To be a good griller, you must know the difference between direct, indirect or combo grilling and when to use them. Direct grilling means that the food is set directly over the heat source — similar to broiling in your oven. Indirect grilling means that the heat is on either side of the food and the burners are turned off under the food — similar to roasting and baking in your oven. Combo grilling means that you sear the food over direct

turn the page ‘The Escape Room’ looks at the dark side of ambition

By Oline H. Cogdill The Associated Press TEAM BUILDING exercises meant to foster cooperation, loyalty and critical thinking are often just an irritating waste of time that causes resentment, backbiting and gossip. At least that’s the experience of four investment bankers who work for the Wall Street firm of Stanhope and Sons in Megan Goldin’s claustrophobically tense debut, “The Escape Room,” which looks at the dark side of ambition when work is all-consuming.

Vincent, Jules, Sylvie and Sam work long hours, sacrificing personal time and relationships for their jobs. They are committed to a “long, heady love affair with greed,” even if it kills them, and it’s fitting that the last names of these three men and one woman are seldom mentioned in the novel.

Despite that “love affair,” they are perturbed at being summoned on a Friday night to a compulsory team-building session. They will participate in an escape-room challenge in a remote office high-rise building in the final stages of construction in the South Bronx.

At best, they hate each other and are consumed by the stress of looming layoffs after losing

two major accounts. They are plunged into darkness as the elevator zooms and stalls at the 70th floor, unable to be opened.

As clues for an escape appear and disappear on the electronic board, each character’s ruthless personality and amorality take center stage. These are cruel people who are not above violence to achieve what they want. As the claustrophobic elevator becomes more intense, “The Escape Room” alternates to the story of Sara Hall, the firm’s brilliant new hire whose career didn’t end well and who hadn’t earned the others’ respect.

“The Escape Room” works as the ultimate locked-room mystery. The darkness, except for the flashlights on dying cellphones, ramps up the suspense and the brutality.

But, as one character says, “How much trouble could four investment bankers get into in a locked elevator?” As it turns out, plenty.

Goldin excels at illustrating the pressures of a Wall Street career that includes an expensive lifestyle to keep up the illusion of success, deals made at strip clubs that reinforce the sexism in the industry and a general lack of trust. The oppressive elevator delivers a metaphor for their careers.

Merge at 30 North Carolina record label celebrates three decades of indie music

By Cory Lavalette North State Journal LET’S TRAVEL back in time to 1989 and see what new companies were starting to make their mark on American culture.

Remember No Fear? The clothing company — co-founded by former road racing, NASCAR and Richard Childress Racing driver Brian Simo — embraced and profited off the extreme sport culture, even creating an energy drink.

How about Discovery Zone? The precursor to today’s indoor trampoline parks grew quickly in the early ’90s and was bought up by Blockbuster Video (Google this, anyone under 25).

By 2011, No Fear was in bankruptcy. Discovery Zone fizzled out even faster, with its locations closed or sold by 1999. Even Blockbuster was essentially gone by 2013— one store remains in Oregon, mostly out of nostalgia.

But an independent record label in Durham started by two bandmates — signer/guitarist Mac McCaughan and bassist Laura Ballance of Superchunk — is still going strong.

Merge Records celebrated its 30th anniversary last week with MRG30, four days of live music in Durham and Carrboro that featured more than two dozen bands that are on the label.

The quinquennial event saw recent homegrown acts like H.C. McEntire (also of Mount Moriah) and Hiss Golden Messenger, critical darlings Ex Hex, William Tyler and Waxahatchee, and, of course, Superchunk play on the label’s home turf.

“It’s amazing that enough time has passed since the last one that there’s a lot of new bands playing at this one that were not at the last one,” McCaughan told Forbes ahead of this year’s celebration, comparing it to the 25th anniversary five years ago. “So I’m excited about that aspect of it, especially.”

While Merge has had its peaks — Arcade Fire won the Grammy for Album of the Year for The Suburbs” back in 2011 — it’s the label’s

remarkable consistency and ability to unearth, promote and assist new talent that has kept it relevant for three decades despite the the violent ups and downs of the music industry.

What started with many of Superchunk’s contemporary acts joining the label — indie rock mainstays Bob Mould (Hüsker Dü), Eric Bachmann (Archers of Loaf) and Lou Barlow (Dinosaur Jr.) are all currently with Merge — morphed into McCaughan and Ballance finding acts from around the globe and every corner of the U.S. There’s Canadian hardcore band F*cked Up (asterisk only for print’s sake), Scottish rock band Sacred Paws and New Zealand’s David Ligour, along with Baltimore twopiece Wye Oak and Seattle’s Telekinesis.

One-of-a-kind acts like King Khan & The Shrines, She & Him (featuring actress Zooey Deschanel and singer-songwriter M. Ward) and Third Eye Foundation are all listed in Merge’s stable of artists.

And they still find a place for local bands, such as Raleigh’s The Love Language and Carrboro’s Flesh Wounds.

“When we started, we had no expectations,” Ballance told Billboard.

Three decades later, Merge is more relevant than ever.

NCDOT TO HOLD PUBLIC MEETING FOR THE PROPOSED PROJECT TO WIDEN N.C. 50

NEW YORK — A judge says the owners of the Woodstock music festival name can license it to create a marijuana brand marking the 50th anniversary of the famed gathering.

U.S. District Judge Paul Gardephe on Monday rejected a claim that the deal would infringe on the name of another company, Woodstock Roots.

Gardephe concluded the nature of the planned Woodstock-branded recreational marijuana and a competitor’s cannabis-related smoking paraphernalia are different.

Woodstock Ventures, which produced the 1969 Woodstock festival, and Woodstock Roots sued each other last year. Woodstock Roots does business as Woodstock American Products.

Woodstock Ventures argued recreational marijuana falls within its “natural zone of expansion” under federal trade-

mark law. It is working on a deal with a major marijuana dispensary.

The court ruling was a victory for the festival owners who have had several recent setbacks.

Woodstock 50 organizers were again denied a permit to hold a three-day festival at an upstate New York horse track. Town of Vernon officials said last week that the permit application for a festival Aug. 16-18 at the Vernon Downs racetrack and casino was filed too late and was rife with problems. Vernon became a possible alternative site for Woodstock 50 after the original venue, Watkins Glen International, pulled out.

Also last week, Jay-Z will no longer close the three-day festival scheduled for Aug. 16-18.

The rap king’s decision came on the same day that John Fogerty — who performed at the original 1969 festival with Creedence Clearwater Revival — pulled out of the anniversary event.

By Mesfin Fekadu The Associated Press NEW YORK — It’s one sweet day for Lil Nas X: The breakthrough rapper’s viral “Old Town Road” has broken the Billboard record set by Mariah Carey’s “One Sweet Day” for most weeks at No. 1.

Lil Nas X accomplishes the feat this week as his country-trap song spends its 17th week on top of the Hot 100 chart. Carey and Boyz II Men’s duet set the record in 1996, and the only song to come close to breaking it was the ubiquitous international hit “Despacito,” which tied the 16week record in 2017.

“YEEE TF HAWWW,” Lil Nas X tweeted Monday.

Hours later he posted a video thanking his fans for helping his song set a new record.

“I’m on the toilet right now, but I want to say thank you to every single person who has made this moment possible for me. We just broke the record for the longest-running No. 1 song of alltime,” said Lil Nas X, sporting a cowboy hat as he played “Old Town Road” in the background.

“Let’s go!”

“Old Town Road,” which has achieved most of its success through audio streaming, was originally a solo song but 20-year-old Lil Nas X added Bil-

ly Ray Cyrus to the track. The song also has remix versions featuring Diplo, Young Thug, Mason Ramsey and BTS, and Billboard counts the original song and its remixes as one when calculating chart position, thus helping “Old Town Road” stay on top.

“17 is my new favorite number,” Cyrus said in a statement Monday, also referring to his debut album “Some Gave All,” which spent 17 weeks at No. 1 in 1992. “My goal was always to make music that would touch people’s lives around the world.”

“Old Town Road” initially was in a bit of controversy in March when Billboard removed it from its country charts, deeming it not country enough (it peaked at No. 19 on the country charts).

But the drama didn’t hurt the song; it only propelled it.

Songs have come close to displacing “Old Town Road” from the top spot — including Billie Eilish’s “Bad Guy” and a pair of Taylor Swift singles — but ultimately were unsuccessful.

Swift was successful in 2017 when her song “Look What You Made Me Do” stopped Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee and Justin Bieber’s “Despacito” from reaching a 17th week at No. 1. Celine Dion’s “Because You Loved Me” ended Carey and Boyz II Men’s epic run in 1996.

DISNEY VIA AP

This image released by Disney shows characters, from left, Zazu, voiced by John Oliver, and young Simba, voiced by JD McCrary, in a scene from “The Lion King.”

‘Lion King’ reigns above box office for second week The Associated Press LOS ANGELES — “The Lion King” rode its circle of life into a second weekend atop the box office and “Once Upon A Time ... In Hollywood,” while not quite doing fairytale numbers, gave director Quentin Tarantino his biggest opening ever.

Disney’s photorealistic remake of the Hamlet-themed tale of Mufasa, Simba and Nala, featuring the voices of Donald Glover and Beyoncé, brought in $75 million in North America, according to studio estimates Sunday. Its domestic total of $350 million makes it the

year’s fourth highest-grossing film after just 10 days of release.

“Once Upon A Time ... In Hollywood” finished a distant second with $40 million in its opening weekend for Sony, but it bested the 2009 opening of Tarantino’s “Inglourious Basterds” by $2 some million and made a strong showing for an R-rated, nearly-threehour film that was not a sequel or remake and was aimed solely at adults.

The film with Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie as denizens of a 1969 Los Angeles where old Hollywood was fading and the Manson family was ris-

ing was more star-powered than Tarantino’s previous eight movies, though the director himself was as big a draw as anyone.

“In our fan survey, over 40% of the audience went to see the movie because of the director,” said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for Comscore. “That’s incredible. You almost never see that.

Sony did a great job of putting that cast and certainly Tarantino at the front of the marketing. That collective star power just paid huge dividends.”

It’s also the sort of film that’s unlikely to experience a major drop-off in the coming weeks, and its long legs could walk it into awards season given Hollywood’s persistent love for movies about itself.

But with all of that, the film’s opening take was still nearly doubled by “The Lion King” and its broad appeal. “’Lion King’ has appealed to everyone, that’s a second-weekend gross that would be the envy of most films on their opening weekend,” Dergarabedian said.

The two-week take is also a sign that audiences are not yet feeling fatigue for Disney’s live-action remakes in a year that has already seen “Dumbo” and “Aladdin.”

“The idea that remake burnout would be in effect for ‘The Lion King’ has not proven true,” Dergarabedian said. “Some brands are inoculated from that kind of negative speculation.”

That’s even more good news for the ever-dominant Disney, with a live-action “Mulan” slated for early next year and more remakes in the planning stages.

The rest of the box office top 10 remained essentially unchanged from a week earlier. Sony’s “Spider-Man: Far From Home” was third with $12.2 million in its fourth weekend and has earned a cumulative $344 million, “Toy Story 4” was fourth with $9.8 million, and “Crawl” fifth with $4 million.

“The Lion King” could reign for a third week. With major summer releases slowing as fall approaches the only real competition it has opening next weekend is “Fast &

Furious: Hobbs & Shaw.”

Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Comscore. Where available, the latest international numbers for Friday through Sunday are also included. Final domestic figures will be released Monday.

1. “The Lion King,” $75.5 million ($142.8 million international).

2. “Once Upon a Time ... In Hollywood,” $40.3 million.

3. “Spider-Man: Far From Home,” $12.2 million ($21 million international).

4. “Toy Story 4,” $9.8 million ($19.4 million international).

5. “Crawl,” $4 million ($3.4 million international).

6. “Yesterday,” $3 million ($3.6 million international).

7. “Aladdin,” $2.8 million ($7.2 million international).

8. “Stuber,” $1.7 million ($1.6 million international).

9. “Annabelle Comes Home,” $1.56 million ($3.7 million international).

10. “The Farewell,” $1.55 million.

Woman dies in Alaska trying to reach famed bus from book The Associated Press FAIRBANKS, Alaska — A newlywed woman from Belarus who was swept away by a river in Alaska was trying to reach an abandoned bus made famous by the book and film “Into the Wild.”

Veramika Maikamava, 24, and her husband, Piotr Markielau, also 24, on Thursday were heading for the bus where hiker Christopher McCandless met his death in 1992, The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reported .

The bus has been the source of multiple rescues since it was made famous, first by Jon Krakauer’s book published in 1996 and then

by Sean Penn’s 2007 film. Both chronicled the life and death of McCandless, who hiked into the Alaska wilderness with little food and equipment and spent the summer living in the bus. McCandless was found dead in the bus almost four months later.

Markielau called troopers in Fairbanks late Thursday to report his wife’s death during a hike, Alaska State Troopers said.

The couple was trying to cross the Teklanika River along the Stampede Trail near Healy when the woman was swept under water, the troopers said. The river was flowing high and fast because of recent rains.

Markielau reported he was able to pull his wife out of the water a short distance away downriver, but she had died by then, the troopers said.

The body has been recovered.

In June 2013, three hikers were rescued by a passing military he-

In May 2013, three German hikers trying to reach the bus on

the Stampede Trail, near Healy, located about 10 miles north of the entrance to Denali National Park and Preserve on the Parks

Highway, also had to be rescued.

They told troopers the river they crossed getting to the bus had become impassable for the return

due to high, swift-running water.

The hikers had proper gear but only enough food for three days, troopers said.

FAST FACTS Sponsored by

Governor Cooper has announced additional federal funding is now available for the temporary employment program that helps North Carolinians get back to work in areas affected by Hurricane Florence.

The new funds, totaling $3.1 million, are part of a Disaster Recovery Dislocated Worker Grant that the U.S. Department of Labor initially awarded to the N.C. Department of Commerce in late September 2018, not long after Hurricane Florence devastated the state. The Commerce Department’s Workforce Solutions division requested the grant and administers the program in partnership with local Workforce Development Boards.

The additional funding will address the immediate needs for workers in the hardest-hit counties: Robeson, Bladen, Hoke, Scotland and Richmond, all of which are served by the Lumber River Workforce Development Board.

Funding will also be available to other eligible areas with identified continuing recovery needs.

Through the federal grant, residents of eligible counties are employed in jobs that support either clean-up and recovery from storm damage or humanitarian assistance to people in the affected areas. Their employers must be either nonprofits or government agencies, and they can employ participants in this program for up to 12 months. Worksites must generally be on either public property or land owned by not-for-profit agencies.

Workers who lost jobs directly due to Hurricane Florence are not the only residents who may be eligible to participate in the program. Some may be eligible after being unemployed for 13 or more weeks, or after being dislocated due to a business closure or layoff.

Bunker Basecamp is launching with two six-month groupings of ten veteran/military spouse entrepreneurs, chosen by Bunker Labs through an application process. These groups will have access to intensive training within their communities, including hiring and raising additional financing.

“We are so excited to be partnering with Google for Startups in order to provide more resources to our communities in Raleigh and Atlanta,” said Todd Connor, CEO and Founder of Bunker Labs.

“The generosity of our partners, like Google for Startups, allows so many incredible veteran entrepreneurs to get the connections and resources they need to succeed, and subsequently provide jobs and revenue for the larger economy.”

According to Bunker Labs officials, 25% of transitioning service

members want to start a business, “and they need places inside their community where they can connect with the people, resources, and support they need to start and grow their businesses.”

At their 28 locations across the country, including their N.C. locations in Raleigh and Wilmington, the program offers three primary levels for veterans considering entrepreneurship: a “Launch Lab” 10week online starter course, offering instructional video check-ins with other veterans; a “Veterans in Residence” course, with in-person business training and development; and the “CEOcircle,” offering continued support for Bunker Lab companies that have displayed a high level of growth and traction. Another feature available at all Bunker Lab locations is “Bunker Brews,” a monthly meet-up or happy hour where the Bunker Labs community of veterans, military spouses, and civilians can network with subject matter experts, investors, and thought leaders.

Appeals court vacates key Atlantic Coast Pipeline permit

By Sarah Rankin The Associated Press RICHMOND, Va. — A U.S. appeals court on Friday tossed out a key permit for the Atlantic Coast Pipeline that deals with the project’s effects on threatened or endangered species, saying a federal agency had apparently “lost sight of its mandate.”

A three-judge panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals wrote that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Ser-

vice had made decisions that were “arbitrary and capricious” in its authorization for the pipeline.

“In fast-tracking its decisions, the agency appears to have lost sight of its mandate under the (Endangered Species Act): ‘to protect and conserve endangered and threatened species and their habitats,’” the court wrote.

The decision is the latest in a series of legal setbacks for the 600mile (965-kilometer) pipeline, the construction of which has been

COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT Sponsored by

By Emily Roberson North State Journal RALEIGH—Bunker Labs, a national non-profit helping veteran entrepreneurs, has announced a new veteran program in partnership with Google for Startups.

The program, called Bunker Basecamp, offers veteran and military spouse growth-stage startups access to shared work space, resources and community across the nation as they continue to develop their business model. The partnership with Google for Startups will expand the program to Raleigh and Atlanta.

Bunker Labs was founded by veterans who, upon starting their own companies, saw ways they could create a clearer path to entrepreneurship for others in the military community. The group has chapters around the country and runs business incubator programs in 15 cities, providing mentorship, education and community to more than 400 startups led by military spouses and veterans.

The new Bunker Basecamp program will include mentorship provided by the Bunker Labs City Leader Team, Google’s Vet Net Community, as well as subject matter experts from the local community in order to accelerate the success of the veteran entrepreneurs.

The program seeks to inspire veterans and veteran spouses to start their own business by providing them the proper training and connections, and is designed to offer those resources to those who have served at any stage of entrepreneurship.

The appeal dealt with four species: the rusty patched bumble bee; the clubshell, a mussel; the Indiana bat; and the Madison Cave isopod, a crustacean.

Last year, the court vacated the Fish and Wildlife Service’s incidental take statement, which usually

authorizes a project to harm or kill no more than a limited number of threatened or endangered species.

Soon after, the agency revised its work and issued a new one, which environmental groups challenged.

The court wrote that it could not ignore that it took the agency “a mere 19 days” to issue the new incidental take statement and related biological opinion after the court’s first decision.

C2 Merck pharmaceutical company to expand in North Carolina Durham The global pharmaceutical manufacturer Merck is set to expand in North Carolina, creating about 425 new jobs.

The company is expected to build a 225,000-sqaurefoot facility in Durham to manufacture the active ingredients for a shot that helps prevent cervical cancer. The New Jersey-based company was offered about $12.5 million in state and county incentives.

It will be required to invest $680 million in the project by the end of 2023. Merck says the Durham plant is also stopping production of a drug, cutting up to 300 full-time and contract workers. Production of that drug is moving to its facility in West Point, Pennsylvania. The company is also expected to invest $30 million to expand a packing center in Wilson County creating up to 30 more jobs.

T-Mobile’s $26.5B Sprint deal OK’d despite competition fears Washington, D.C. U.S. regulators have approved T-Mobile’s $26.5 billion takeover of rival Sprint, despite fears of higher prices and job cuts, in a deal that would leave just three major cellphone companies in the country.

Friday’s approval from the Justice Department and five state attorneys general comes after Sprint and T-Mobile agreed to conditions that would set up satellite-TV provider Dish as a smaller rival. Critics say Dish is not a replacement for Sprint. The deal still faces legal challenges.

Juul exec: Never intended electronic cigarette for teens Washington, D.C. The co-founder of vaping giant Juul told Congress that his company never intended its electronic cigarettes to be used by underage teens. House lawmakers are investigating the e-cigarette maker amid a recent explosion of vaping among American youth. Last week’s hearing marks the first time the privately held company has been called before Congress.

Alex and Ani jewelry accuses Bank of America of gender bias Cranston, R.I. Jewelry maker Alex and Ani has filed a $1.2 billion lawsuit alleging that “gender bias and greed” by Bank of America have led to a financial “death spiral” at the Rhode Islandbased company. The lawsuit was filed last week in federal court in New York. Bank spokesman Bill Halldin said, “Bank of America has a demonstrated record of support for diverse businesses that is well noted and widely recognized.”

PIPELINE from page C1 lines will be able to immediately begin working to resolve the issues.

“Once the new Biological Opinion and Incidental Take Statement are issued, we will seek the necessary approval from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to resume construction. We’re confident we remain on track to complete the project by late 2021,” spokesman Aaron Ruby wrote in an email.

Dominion, which is a partner in the pipeline along with Duke Energy and Southern Co., says the project will lower energy costs and boost economic development, both through its construction and by increasing the availability of natural gas.

Opponents say the project will cause environmental harm and question the need for a massive natural gas pipeline at a time when they say climate change makes it imperative to invest in renewable energy.

French wine vs US tech prowess: new Trump-Macron standoff French officials proceed with temporary measure to ensure “fair … taxation of digital activities” as U.S. threatens tariffs on French wine

By Angela Charlton The Associated Press PARIS — France is pushing ahead with a landmark tax on tech companies like Google and Facebook despite U.S. President Donald Trump’s threats of retaliatory tariffs on French wine.

That’s rattling French vintners, who sold 1.6 billion euros ($1.78 billion) worth of wine last year to American consumers. But neither Trump nor French President Emmanuel Macron appears ready to back down.

After Trump slammed the “foolishness” of the tax in a tweet Friday and promised reciprocal action, French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire said France will implement it anyway.

He insisted that the measure

doesn’t target American companies, and that “fair and effective taxation on digital activities” is of universal concern. He said France’s tax is meant as a temporary measure pending negotiations on an international deal that France wants to work out “hand in hand with our American friends.”

The 3% tax that went into force this week mainly concerns companies that use consumer data to sell online advertising.

It’s designed to stop multinationals from avoiding taxes by setting up European headquarters in low-tax European Union countries. Currently, companies such as Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple, Airbnb and Uber pay very little tax on their significant business in countries like France.

The Trump administration says the tax is discriminatory against U.S. business.

In fact, it targets any digital company with yearly global sales worth more than 750 million euros ($835 million) and French revenue exceeding 25 million euros ($27 million). It should affect about 30 companies, based in the

U.S, China and Europe — including France.

The revenue threshold is supposed to allow more room for startups. France argues that tech companies are abusing their market dominance, notably through tax avoidance, and preventing others from a fair chance of competing.

Also, the tax only concerns revenues earned in France — not sales in the U.S. or elsewhere.

U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer began an investigation earlier this month to determine whether the tax is discriminatory or unreasonable and restricts U.S. commerce. Such a finding would allow Trump to levy retaliatory tariffs.

Trump derided French wines in his tweet, and later said he might hit them with retaliatory tariffs to French. He made a similar threat last year.

About 20% of French wine is sold in the U.S., and the Federation of French Wine and Spirits Exports on Saturday expressed concern about tariffs that could hurt “French players in this mar-

ket, but also their clients and American consumers.”

The federation urged French and American authorities to pursue dialogue on the tax issue, expressing hope “that they can quickly find a path to follow to prevent these threats from materializing.”

Le Maire said the U.S. “should not mix the two issues,” and noted that European wines already face tariffs in the U.S. as do American wines in Europe. He hopes for an international deal by the end of August.

Trump insisted Friday that he has a good relationship with Macron and had just spoken with him.

After initially befriending the U.S. president despite their starkly different worldviews, Macron has increasingly stood up to the impulsive, America-first Trump on trade, climate change and Iran’s nuclear program.

The tech tax is just their latest battleground, and will be a key tension point when the two men meet at a Group of Seven summit in France next month.

France failed to persuade EU partners to impose a Europe-wide tax on tech giants, but is now pushing for an international deal on it with the G-7 and the 34 countries of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.

Pfizer to absorb Mylan, creating generic giant The deal will create an estimated annual sales revenue of $19 billion for the new company

By Linda B. Johnson The Associated Press CANONSBURG, PA — Pfizer, the country’s largest drugmaker, will absorb the generic pharmaceutical company Mylan, potentially creating a global generic powerhouse.

The two companies said Monday that they’ll combine Mylan, a $10 billion company, with Pfizer’s Upjohn, which sells household names from Viagra to cholesterol fighter Lipitor that have lost patent protection.

The deal, expected to close in the middle of next year, will have estimated annual revenue in excess of $19 billion with sales in more than 165 countries. The name for the new company has yet to be determined.

The two companies have worked together closely for years.

Pfizer manufactures Mylan’s EpiPen, an auto-injector used to halt life-threatening allergic reactions. Mylan was heavily criticized, and its CEO Heather Bresch was brought before Congress two years ago, to answer questions about the price of the EpiPen, which had jumped five-fold to $600 for two doses. EpiPens have been in short supply for more than a year because of quality problems and upgrades at a Pfizer factory.

Upjohn, the name of one of the companies Pfizer gobbled up during a spate of acquisitions in the 1990s and 2000s, sells off-patent and generic drugs that include the stars that drove Pfizer’s growth: pain killers Celebrex and Lyrica, Norvasc for high

Dr. Albert Bourla, Pfizer CEO, stated in a press release, “We are creating a new champion for global health—one poised to bring world-class medicines to patients across a wide range of therapeutic areas. I believe that Mylan’s unique profile and strategy has made it the obvious partner of choice in creating this powerful combination. By bringing Mylan’s growth assets to Upjohn’s growth markets, we will create a financially strong company with true global reach.”

Shareholders of Pfizer Inc. will own 57% of the combined new

company and Mylan shareholders will own 43%.

The deal announced Monday arrived at a precarious time for big drugmakers who are threatened by patent protection losses and lower-priced rivals.

The new company will be incorporated in Delaware and run operations in Pittsburgh, Shanghai and Hyderabad, India.

Upjohn is expected to be spun off or split off to Pfizer’s shareholders and simultaneously combined with Mylan. Upjohn will issue $12 billion of debt at or prior to separation, with gross debt proceeds kept by Pfizer. The new company will have about$24.5 billion of total debt outstanding at closing.

Capital One target of massive data breach

By Gene Johnson The Associated Press SEATTLE — A security breach at Capital One Financial, one of the nation’s largest issuers of credit cards, compromised the personal information of about 106 million people, and in some cases the hacker obtained Social Security and bank account numbers.

It is among the largest security breaches of a major U.S. financial institution on record. The bank’s stock tumbled 7% Tuesday, the largest single-day decline in four years.

Paige A. Thompson, who uses the online handle “erratic” — was charged with a single count of computer fraud and abuse in U.S. District Court in Seattle. Thompson made an initial appearance in court and was ordered to remain in custody pending a detention hearing Thursday.

Federal agents began tracking Thompson online after being notified by Capital One of a possible breach in July.

On June 18, Thompson sent a message on Twitter to another user saying, “I’ve basically

strapped myself with a bomb vest, (expletive) dropping capitol ones dox and admitting it.”

The FBI raided Thompson’s residence Monday and seized digital devices. An initial search turned up files that referenced Capital One and “other entities that may have been targets of attempted or actual network intrusions.”

Thompson was a systems engineer at Amazon Web Services between 2015 and 2016, about three years before the breach took place.

A resume Paige Thompson posted on a Slack group she created says she worked on its frontend the interface with users and security updates.

While that service is used by Capital One, there is no evidence that Amazon’s cloud system was involved in the breach.

“AWS was not compromised in any way and functioned as designed,” a company spokesperson said Tuesday. “The perpetrator gained access through a misconfiguration of the web application and not the underlying cloudbased infrastructure. As Capital One explained clearly in its dis-

closure, this type of vulnerability is not specific to the cloud.”

Capital One Financial Corp. was notified by a third party on July 19 that their data had appeared on the code-hosting site GitHub, which is owned by Microsoft. The McLean, Virginia, company says it immediately notified the FBI. The FBI said a Twitter user who went by “erratic” sent a user direct messages warning about distributing the bank’s data, including names, birthdates and Social Security numbers. That user reported the message to Capital One. Capital One said it believes it is unlikely that the information was used for fraud, but the investigation is ongoing.

The data breach involves about 100 million people in the U.S. and 6 million in Canada.

The bank said the bulk of the hacked data consisted of information supplied by consumers and small businesses who applied for credit cards between 2005 and early 2019. In addition to data such as phone numbers, email addresses, dates of birth and self-reported income, the hacker was

also able to access credit scores, credit limits and balances, as well as fragments of transaction information from a total of 23 days in 2016, 2017 and 2018.

“While I am grateful that the perpetrator has been caught, I am deeply sorry for what has happened,” said Capital One CEO Richard Fairbank. “I sincerely apologize for the understandable worry this incident must be causing those affected and I am committed to making it right.”

Capital One Financial Corp., the nation’s seventh-largest commercial bank with $373.6 billion in assets as of June 30, is the latest U.S. company to suffer a major data breach in recent years.

In 2017, a data breach at Equifax, one of the major credit reporting companies, exposed the Social Security numbers and other sensitive information of roughly half of the U.S. population. Last week, Equifax agreed to pay at least $700 million to settle lawsuits over the breach in a settlement with federal authorities and states. The agreement includes up to $425 million in monetary relief to consumers.

C3 “AWS was not compromised in any way and functioned as designed. ... The perpetrator gained access through a misconfiguration of the web application and not the underlying cloud-based infrastructure. As Capital One explained clearly in its disclosure, this type of vulnerability is not specific to the cloud.”
