NEWS BRIEFING

NC may raise tax breaks as Apple weighs decision Raleigh North Carolina legislators are considering more than doubling state tax breaks offered to companies that promise to bring lots of high-paying jobs but aren’t quite “transformative.”

Legislation introduced Tuesday in the state General Assembly would raise the maximum tax break allowed for those companies by nearly 150 percent to $16,000 per job each year.

The change would apply to high-profile projects that aren’t the so-called “transformative” companies eligible for massive state subsidies. That describes companies generating 3,000 jobs and investing at least $1 billion.

The proposed tax breaks tweak comes six months after The Associated Press reported tech giant Apple was considering North Carolina for a new corporate campus employing 5,000 jobs and possibly many more.

Board settles state legislator’s probe for $4,500 Raleigh A North Carolina legislator’s political committee will pay $4,500 while ending a campaign finance investigation stemming from a complaint filed by a Democrat political activist against the Republican senator.

The state elections board voted unanimously Tuesday to accept the agreement offered by the campaign committee of four-term Sen. Ralph Hise of Mitchell County. The committee must give up $500 and reimburse the board $4,000 for investigation expenses.

Greg Flynn of Raleigh filed a complaint last year alleging Hise received $10,000 more from the committee than he had loaned it over the years. Flynn later alleged Hise’s committee failed to report some PAC receipts. Flynn is an activist who regularly studies campaign finance filings in search of issues.

STATE ELEVATE THE CONVERSATION

Holiday shopping season off to a strong start Approximately 89 million Americans shopped online and in stores over the five-day Thanksgiving holiday. The average shopper spent $313.29 on gifts or holiday items in that time with the biggest spenders being people aged 3544 years old at $413.05

By Donna King North State Journal NEW YORK — The largest U.S. retail trade group says the holiday shopping season has gotten off to a “very strong” start.

The National Retail Federation says consumer spending has been strong, fueled by a better economy and stores’ investments in online services.

“Over the last couple of days, what I heard in discussions with retail CEOs across all categories and segments was very positive, driven by macro conditions of low unemployment and rising wages combined with the right mix of merchandise at great prices,” NRF President and CEO Matthew Shay said. “This is a very strong emotional start to the holiday season and a positive indicator of where we are headed over the next month.”

The trade group’s assessment comes even after a survey of more than 3,000 shoppers on Thanksgiving and Black Friday forecast that fewer people would turn out for the five-day weekend that ended Monday compared to a year ago. It attributed the drop to stores spreading out their deals beyond the Black Friday weekend. The most popular day to shop this year was Cyber Monday, cited by 67.4 million shoppers, followed by Black Friday with 65.2 million shoppers.

The group now says it expects sales for November and December will be at the high end of its earlier forecast of a 4.3 to 4.8 percent rise. That would be below last year’s 5.3 percent increase. In that mix is a new shopper that many retailers are See SHOPPING, page A2

By David Larson North State Journal RALEIGH — The Republican supermajority in the N.C House and Senate returned to Raleigh on Tuesday with issues like voter ID and hurricane relief high on the agenda.

The voter ID amendment, recently approved by voters, requires legislators to fill in some key details, and Republicans are motivated to complete this before the next legislature is sworn in.

House Rules Chairman David Lewis’ office provided press a bill draft titled, “Implementation of Voter ID Const. Amendment.” The bill would require the State Board of Elections and Ethics Enforcement to mail registered voters twice in 2019 and twice in 2020 to educate them on the changes and on the availability of free voter ID cards.

Some elements of the draft, worked out in meetings between the chambers, include the no-cost pro-

vision of voter IDs by county boards of election and the requirement for county boards of election to maintain a “secure database containing the photographs of registered voters.” It would also require the acceptance of college IDs (including from community colleges and private colleges), expired IDs of less than one year, expired IDs from those over 65 years of age and employee IDs from state or local government entities. Voters affected by natural disaster would be able to sign an affidavit within 60 days of the disaster at their voting place and use a provisional ballot.

Progressive activist organizations, led by the Rev. William Barber, met across the street from the General Assembly before session to voice their opposition to most potential actions by the current legislature. Holding signs saying, “Lame ducks, go home!” they listened to speakers in the windy cold.

“Every legislator who believes in equal protection under the law and voting rights should vote against whatever is proposed,” said Barber See VOTER ID, page A2

Congressmen negotiating to keep illegal immigrant from being deported Samuel Oliver-Bruno, who has lived illegally in the U.S. for two decades, pleaded guilty in 2014 to using false documents to try to re-enter the U.S. in Texas

By Jonathan Drew The Associated Press RALEIGH — A Mexican illegal immigrant who took refuge in a North Carolina church for 11 months won’t be deported until immigration officials decide his pending request to stay in the U.S., two congressmen said Monday.

U.S. Rep. David Price tweeted that he and fellow Democratic U.S. Rep. G.K. Butterfield received assurances from immigration officials that Samuel Oliver-Bruno won’t be removed until his claim

is settled. Price said he was pushing Homeland Security officials to release Oliver-Bruno immediately, saying his arrest Friday at an immigration office was “unacceptable.”

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesman Bryan Cox confirmed federal officials have agreed to allow the case to be completed, even though Oliver-Bruno could legally be deported now. Online records list Oliver-Bruno, 47, as being held in a Georgia detention center.

Oliver-Bruno stayed in a Durham church for nearly a year, to avoid ICE officials, who generally don’t make arrests in churches and other sensitive locations. However on Friday he was arrested at an immigration office near Raleigh after he left the church to have his fingerprints taken while he applies See IMMIGRATION, page A2

The official White House Christmas tree is seen in the Blue Room during the 2018 Christmas Press Preview at the White House in Washington, Monday, Nov. 26, 2018. The tree measures 18 feet tall and is dressed in over 500 feet of blue velvet ribbon embroidered in gold with each state and territory. Christmas has arrived at the White House.

Melania Trump unveils White House Christmas decorations Throughout December, the White House will host more than 100 events and 30,000 visitors will walk the halls taking part in public tours NSJ Staff WASHINGTON, D.C. — Christmas has arrived at the White House.

First lady Melania Trump unveiled the 2018 White House holiday decor on Monday. She designed the decor, which features a theme of “American Treasures.”

The White House says decorations include a tree trimmed by Gold Star families, features gold stars and patriotic ribbon while visitors are encouraged to write messages to their loved ones who are on duty or abroad on the digital tablets provided.

An array of topiary trees and mantelpieces feature the skylines of New York City, St. Louis, Chicago and San Francisco.

In the grand foyer, the theme is patriotism, with 14,000 red ornaments hanging from 29 trees.

Also on display are the customary gingerbread house and the traditional White House tree, which stands 18 feet tall. It was grown in Avery County, N.C,.

Later in his speech, he continued, “We will fight in the courts. We will fight in the streets. We will fight at the ballot box. And if necessary, we will return this state to civil disobedience. … No to voter suppression and voter ID, and yes to recovering from the flood. If you do anything less, we will fight. We know how to fight. We know how to win.

We know how to sue. We know how to get in the street. We know how to go to jail.”

Senate Leader Phil Berger’s spokesman, Patrick Ryan, responded in a press release, saying “Voter ID is in the North Carolina Constitution because the people of this state support it overwhelmingly, and Republicans will follow through on that mandate. It’s a great irony that the liberal activist organization that planned today’s protest is asking a judge to invalidate the votes for the amendment while at the same time accusing us of voter suppression.”

Other bills likely to be considered in the coming weeks include an expansion of incentive funds meant to lure major company headquarters to the state and an elimination of many boards and commissions that Republicans describe as unconstitutional.

Plainclothes officers detained him when he entered the Morrisville office of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. Outside the office, more than two dozen of his supporters were arrested on misdemeanor charges including resisting officers after some blocked the van being used to drive Oliver-Bruno away.

USCIS issued a statement Friday saying it doesn’t discuss individual cases of people seeking to defer deportation. But the agency said it would not schedule an appointment for someone who didn’t have a pending application.

Each year, 100 volunteers are chosen by the White House and the first lady to help decorate for Christmas. This year, Kathy Shows from Louisiana was one of them. She said that she has always had a love for Christmas decorating, even calling herself “a bit of a Christmas decorating fanatic,” but that she never expected to have the chance to decorate a site with as much history and grandeur as the White House.

On Monday, several dozen supporters of Oliver-Bruno gathered in Raleigh to demand his release. Some who were arrested Friday addressed the crowd, including Oliver-Bruno’s pastor of more than a decade, the Rev. Ismael Ruiz-Millan.

Ruiz-Millan said he joined Friday’s protest because he was tired of watching from a distance while immigration policies separate families: “We cannot afford to be silenced anymore.”

The Rev. Ernesto Barriguete, who was also charged Friday, said he spoke to Oliver-Bruno by phone Sunday and that he was in good spirits.

White House, and I’ve read about it thoroughly over the years, but I truly never expected to be able to do it myself one day,” Shows said.

She was among the volunteers transforming the rooms and halls of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. into a winter wonderland, and Shows said that she first learned of the opportunity to participate nearly 15 years ago. Despite her burning desire, she said, there always seemed to be reasons not to apply.

“I had children at home when I first found out about it, so I just couldn’t justify not being home at Thanksgiving,” she said. “Each

SHOPPING from page A1 zeroing in on; the Gen Zer. This age group, 18-24, has either disposable income from parents or new employment. They spent more on themselves this Thanksgiving weekend than any other age group at $149 over the period studied.

“This year, Gen Zers and millennials changed the way they shopped over Thanksgiving weekend,” Prosper Executive Vice President of Strategy Phil Rist said. “These younger shoppers have become savvier when it comes to their research by leveraging social media to find inspiration for their purchasing decisions and used the holiday weekend to splurge on nongift purchases for the season.”

However, shoppers of all ages may have been surprised to find that heading online to purchase holiday gifts means a new sales tax charge at some websites where they weren’t before. The reason: the Supreme Court.

A June ruling gave states the go-ahead to require more companies to collect sales tax on online purchases. Now, more than two dozen have moved to take advantage of the ruling, many ahead of the busy holiday shopping season.

“Will your shopping bill look any different? ... The answer

year I would open up the application and then I would just tell myself that I would do it next year instead.”

Now an empty nester, Shows said she had begun to run out of reasons to say no to herself.

In March, she completed the essay and application and submitted it. In October, after nearly forgetting she had even applied, she said she got an email alerting her that she had been selected for this year’s project.

“I just couldn’t believe it,” she said. “I thought that the email had to be a fake at first and was scared to open it, but I realized it was true and I just started crying as I read it.”

With the full support of her husband and family, Shows purchased her plane tickets and began preparing herself as best she could.

“It’ll be an interesting experience, but an exciting one that I can’t wait to be a part of,” she said.

One of her most anticipated projects to see is the Blue Room Christmas Tree.

“The Blue Room tree will symbolize for me what this whole experience is all about; the rich history and the tradition behind decorating the White House and getting to play a part in that tradition. That will make this all real for me.”

Planning for the Christmas decorations began in the first lady’s office back in August. The White House staff asked that people interested in volunteering to decorate the White House, and bands, artists and other performers wishing to participate in the holiday festivities submit their application by mid-September. Application information for next year is expected to come out during the first week of August 2019 on whitehouse.gov

right now is it depends,” said Jason Brewer, a spokesman for the Retail Industry Leaders Association, which represents more than 70 major retailers.

Whether shoppers get charged sales tax on their online purchases comes down to where they live and where they’re shopping.

Before the Supreme Court’s recent decision, the rule was that businesses selling online had to collect sales tax only in states where they had stores, warehouses or another physical presence. That meant that major retailers such as Apple, Best Buy, Macy’s and Target, which have brick-and-mortar stores nationwide, were generally collecting sales tax from online customers.

But that wasn’t the case for businesses with a big online presence but few physical locations.

Now, states can force out-ofstate sellers to collect sales tax if they’re doing a fair amount of business in the state. That means retailers such as Overstock.com, home goods company Wayfair and electronics retailer Newegg can be required to collect tax in more states. Those companies were involved in the case before the Supreme Court, but a wide range of businesses — from jewelry website Blue Nile to clothing and outdoor company L.L. Bean and electronics retailer B&H Photo-Video — are also affected.

nation & world State to allow businesses to pay taxes with bitcoin Columbus, Ohio Ohio is now accepting the cryptocurrency bitcoin for business tax payments including sales tax. State Treasurer Josh Mandel’s office announced Monday that businesses can sign up for the program through OhioCrypto. com. Businesses will pay their taxes through a thirdparty processor called BitPay, which will convert the digital currency into dollars that go into the state’s accounts. A 1 percent fee will be applied to each transaction. Mandel says Ohio is the first state in the nation to accept tax payments via cryptocurrency. He says the new option will help Ohio become a leader in embracing blockchain technology.

OhioCrypto.com will be able to accept bitcoin for 23 different business taxes.

Divorce papers signed, now Brexit battle moves to Parliament London Britain and the European Union have signed their divorce papers, but that’s not the end of the 45-year relationship. It’s just the start of a British political battle over the separation. Now the deal must be approved by the U.K. Parliament, where no party has a majority and lawmakers range from burn-the-bridges Brexiteers to reconciliationseeking supporters of the EU. Legislators on both sides hate the deal, a compromise that keeps Britain outside the EU with no say but still subject to the rules and the obligations of membership at least until the end of 2020 while a permanent new relationship is worked out.

Prime Minister Theresa May said Monday that Parliament will vote on the deal Dec. 11.

Houston-area ATM mistakenly dispenses $100 bills, not $20s Houston An ATM in the Houston area was shut down and guarded by law officers after mistakenly dispensing $100 bills instead of $20s and word of the glitch got out on social media. The ATM belonged to Charlottebased Bank of America. Local sheriff’s deputies protected the outdoor ATM after Sunday night’s incident and notified BofA. Sheriff’s officials say some deputies noticed a number of people crowded around the ATM, stopped to investigate and learned $100 bills were wrongly being dispensed. Other law enforcement personnel also noticed a posting online about an errant ATM. Authorities didn’t immediately say how much money was erroneously dispensed.

Ukraine: Russia tensions ‘clear threat’ to peace Moscow Ukraine’s Ambassador to the United Nations is warning that rising tensions with Russia “constitute a clear threat to international peace and security.” Volodymyr Yelchenko told a United Nations Security Council meeting Monday that Russia’s claim that Ukrainian ships violated Russia’s borders “is an outright lie.” Russia traded barbs Monday with representatives from the United States and Ukraine at a Security Council meeting held after Russian ships fired on Ukrainian vessels Sunday near Crimea. Questioned by reporters after the UNSC session, Yelchenko said he hopes more sanctions would be imposed on the Russian leadership. Sanctions, he said, “do bite.”

NASA spacecraft survives supersonic plunge A billion-dollar spacecraft successfully touched down on Mars this week, drawing celebration from mission control

By Marcia Dunn The Associated Press CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.— Minutes after touching down on Mars, NASA’s InSight spacecraft sent back a “nice and dirty” snapshot of its new digs. Yet the dust-speckled image looked like a work of art to scientists.

The photo revealed a mostly smooth and sandy terrain around the spacecraft with only one sizable rock visible.

“I’m very, very happy that it looks like we have an incredibly safe and boring landing location,” project manager Tom Hoffman said after Monday’s touchdown.

“That’s exactly what we were going for.”

A better image came hours later and more are expected in the days ahead, after the dust covers come off the lander’s cameras.

The spacecraft arrived at Mars after a perilous, supersonic plunge through its red skies that took just six minutes.

“Touchdown confirmed!” a flight controller called out just before 3 p.m. EST, setting off jubilation among scientists at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., who had waited in white-knuckle suspense for word to reach across 100 million miles of space.

It was NASA’s eighth successful landing at Mars since the 1976 Viking probes, and the first in six years. NASA’s Curiosity rover, which arrived in 2012, is still on the move on Mars.

Because of the distance between Earth and Mars, it took eight minutes for confirmation to arrive, relayed by a pair of tiny satellites that had been trailing InSight throughout the six-month,

300-million-mile journey.

“Flawless,” declared JPL’s chief engineer, Rob Manning. “Sometimes things work out in your favor.”

InSight, a $1 billion international project, includes a German mechanical mole that will burrow down 16 feet to measure Mars’ internal heat. The lander also has a French seismometer for measuring quakes, if they exist on our smaller, geologically calmer neighbor. Another experiment will calculate Mars’ wobble to reveal the makeup of the planet’s core.

Late Monday, NASA reported the spacecraft’s vital solar arrays were open and recharging its batteries.

Over the next few “sols” — or Martian days of 24 hours, 39½ minutes — flight controllers will

assess the health of InSight’s all-important robot arm and its science instruments. It will take months to set up and fine-tune the instruments, and lead scientist Bruce Banerdt said he doesn’t expect to start getting a stream of solid data until late next spring.

The 800-pound InSight is stationary and will operate from the same spot for the next two years, the duration of a Martian year.

“In the coming months and years even, history books will be rewritten about the interior of Mars,” said JPL’s director, Michael Watkins.

Many Mars-bound spacecraft launched by the U.S., Russia and other countries have been lost or destroyed over the years, with a success rate of just 40 percent, not counting InSight.

The three-legged InSight set-

tled on the western side of Elysium Planitia, the plain that NASA was aiming for.

Museums, planetariums and libraries across the U.S. held viewing parties to watch the events unfold at JPL. NASA TV coverage was also shown on the giant screen in New York’s Times Square, where crowds huddled under umbrellas in the rain.

“What an amazing day for our country,” said Jim Bridenstine, presiding over his first Mars landing as NASA’s boss.

There are no life detectors aboard InSight. NASA’s next mission, the Mars 2020 rover, will prowl for rocks that might contain evidence of ancient life. The question of whether life ever existed in Mars’ wet, watery past is what keeps driving NASA back to the fourth rock from the sun.

Mexico to tighten security at border amid clashes and 69 arrests As some migrants rushed police at the border, officers fired tear gas to regain control of the chaos

By Christopher Sherman The Associated Press TIJUANA, Mexico — Mexico looked set to shore up security near its border with the United States on Monday, as police lined up outside a shelter in the city of Tijuana and told Central American migrants they couldn’t walk toward the border area. U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Kevin McAleenan says 69 migrants were arrested on the California side of the border after trying to cross from Tijuana to the U.S. during a confrontation where agents fired tear gas.

He says nearly 1,000 people rushed vehicle lanes and went around the border crossing to try to get into the U.S. on Sunday. He says some threw rocks and bottles at U.S. agents, but there was no report of violence Monday.

McAleenan says the Border Patrol’s use of force policy allows agents to use tear gas, but the incident would be reviewed. He said the “dangerous situation” was resolved without serious injury.

Mexico’s National Migration Institute said that 98 migrants were being deported after they tried to breach the U.S. border.

“As the events unfolded, quick, decisive and effective action prevented an extremely dangerous situation,” he said.

The Sunday incident began after a large group marched to the U.S. border to make the migrants’ plight more visible to the governments of Mexico and the U.S. Some attempted to get through the fencing and wire separating the two countries, leading U.S. agents to fire the tear gas.

As the chaos unfolded, shoppers just yards away on the U.S. side streamed in and out of an outlet mall, which eventually closed.

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said in a statement that U.S. authorities will continue to have a “robust” presence along the Southwest border and that they will prosecute anyone who damages federal property or violates U.S. sovereignty.

“DHS will not tolerate this type of lawlessness and will not hesitate to shut down ports of entry for security and public safety reasons,” she said.

More than 5,000 migrants have been camped in and around a sports complex in Tijuana after making their way through Mexico in recent weeks via caravan.

Many hope to apply for asylum in the U.S., but agents at the San Ysidro entry point are processing fewer than 100 asylum petitions a day.

Francisco Vega, the governor of Baja California, said almost 9,000 migrants were in the state — mainly in Tijuana, with a lesser number in Mexicali — and called it “an issue of national security.”

Vega issued a public appeal to the federal government to take over responsibility for sheltering the migrants and deport those who were breaking the law.

Tijuana Mayor Juan Manuel Gastelum on Friday declared a humanitarian crisis in his border city of 1.6 million, which he says is struggling to accommodate the crush of migrants.

The chaos comes as U.S. and Mexican officials wrangle over the issue of migration and discuss how to deal with asylum-seekers waiting in Mexico. With a backlog of cases that number into the thousands, many migrants appear set to linger along the border for months, if not longer.

Violent protests continue over Macron’s new fuel tax Gas prices in France are more than $7 a gallon, as Macron administration reveals plans to invest more than $15 million in carpooling, electric cars and unmanned shuttles

By Sylvie Corbet and Angela Charlton The Associated Press PARIS — As protests over rising gas prices continued into a second weekend, French President Emmanuel Macron’s government vowed Monday an “uncompromising” stance toward troublemakers who use protests over rising fuel taxes to damage businesses and clash with police — including in the heart of Paris, on the glittering Champs-Elysees.

Pressure is mounting on Macron after sometimes violent demonstrations by those angry over rising fuel prices, prompted by a boost in fuel taxes to pay for Macron’s program to shift France off fossil fuels.

The protests are a major challenge for Macron, drawing disparate demonstrators who shared anger at his perceived elitism.

Scattered actions continued Monday as drivers blocked roads from the Pyrenees to Brittany.

Tense clashes Saturday reached Paris’ high-end Champs-Elysees, with store windows smashed and police firing volleys of tear gas and chasing troublemakers through streets filled with smoke from flares and bonfires.

The government unveiled on Monday a planned bill to invest 13.4 billion euros ($15.2 billion) by 2022 aimed to develop the rail network, car-pooling, electric cars and unmanned shuttles.

A local protest leader in Toulouse, Benjamin Cauchy, said Monday on BFM television that the movement is at a turning point and the next step will hinge on what Macron has to say.

Cauchy said protesters should respect the media, after journalists were attacked, chased or threatened while covering Saturday’s events.

Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire is meeting later Monday with businesses hit by the protests on the Champs-Elysees and elsewhere.

Paris police said 27 people are facing court Monday for Saturday’s violence in the capital, while 20 others arrested over the weekend were released.

Two people were killed and hundreds injured in accidents stemming from the protests since they kicked off Nov. 17, and hundreds of protesters and police have been injured.

NC environmental chief: Chemical maker must change its ways NSJ Staff RALEIGH — Details of a deal announced last week show that The Chemours Co. must pay the state a $12 million penalty, add $1 million for investigative costs, sharply reduce air emissions of the nonstick compound known as GenX, and spend millions to provide permanent replacement drinking water supplies to neighbors with contaminated water wells.

“It will change the way this company operates in the state of North Carolina if they are serious about remaining operational here,” state Department of Environmental Quality Michael Regan said Friday. Further enforcement action is possible if scientists find health effects for GenX at levels lower than what the state now estimates is safe, he said.

Chemours also agreed to further penalties if by the end of next month it fails to cut air emissions by at least 92 percent from last year’s level, and by 99 percent by the end of next year. Failing to meet next month’s target could cost Chemours $350,000, while missing the 99 percent reduction goal next year could cost the company $1 million.

Chemours denied it violated any law, regulation or permit and said the deal it struck this week simply allowed it to avoid the expense and risks of litigation while addressing public concerns.

Swain County The charity Throw Away Dogs trained and donated a K-9 dog to the Bryson City police department last November.

When the charity found out the dog, Kanon, died at the home of its handler in March, it demanded an investigation. The SBI just completed the investigation and determined that there was no criminal activity in Kanon’s death. The dog choked on a piece of plastic it tore off of its doghouse. The charity believes neglect was a factor and claimed the dog with was an untrained officer.

Construction work on the 21-miles stretch of highway in North Carolina began in May 2015 and has caused lane shifts, lane closures and, at times, heavy traffic delays and detours. The $137 million project replaced the original pavement and several bridges. There will still be temporary lane closures at times into 2019, but nothing like the major rerouting that has been taking place.

Tyrrell County Christopher Dula and Brandon Womack were both charged with possession of a controlled substance on prison grounds after they were found with a synthetic marijuana known as K2. Both are inmates at Tyrrell Prison Work Farm. The Tyrell County sheriff said that the pair are the 47th and 48th inmates at the work farm charged with drug possession since May 2017.

Brad Foley is a member of the North Carolina National Guard and is deployed in Afghanistan, where he flies Apache helicopters. Last month, someone broke into Foley’s home in Roanoke Rapids, ransacked it and stole thousands of dollars in property, including a couch, TV, guitar collection and more than $1,000 worth of flooring. A short time later, Robert Duane Harris, a childhood friend of Foley, advertised many of the missing items for sale on Facebook. He’s been arrested and charged with several felonies.

On Nov. 13, Murphy encountered a bear that was an estimated 650 pounds. He’s not sure of the exact size, because he can’t find a scale big enough to weigh it. Murphy took a shot from 500 yards away. The bear was hit but wandered off. Murphy returned a few days later and located the body.

health studies into the risks posed by releasing GenX and other per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, into the environment. PFAS are used in nonstick coatings on products ranging from pans to fast-food wrappers, as well as in firefighting foam.

There are no federal health standards for GenX, just as they are lacking for thousands of man-made chemicals. The EPA classifies GenX as an “emerging contaminant” needing research. But animal studies show GenX has the potential of affecting the kidneys, blood, immune system, liver and developing fetuses following oral exposure, the EPA said in a draft report released earlier this month. “The data are suggestive of cancer,” the report said.

Blood and urine tests performed on 30 volunteers living around Chemours’ North Carolina plant found no GenX, but all had in their blood at least four of the 16 similar chemicals tested, the state health department said last month.

The state environmental agency sued the company last year alleging its discharges of GenX and other PFAS violated clean-water laws.

Environmental group Cape Fear River Watch also sued both the company and the state.

All those lawsuits would be dropped if this week’s settlement is approved by a judge after giving the public until Dec. 21 to comment.

Abrams, Gillum oppose Trump judicial pick in North Carolina

By NSJ Staff ATLANTA — After losing their bids for governor in Georgia and Florida, Stacey Abrams and Andrew Gillum are joining other black leaders to oppose Raleigh attorney Thomas Farr for the long-vacant Eastern District of North Carolina federal bench seat. President Donald Trump nominated Farr earlier this year for the federal judgeship. He was also nominated by then-President George W. Bush in 2006, but his confirmation effort never made it to the Senate floor. President Barack Obama nominated two candidates, but their nominations were not heard either. The

seat on the court has been vacant since 2005.

Abrams and Gillum said in a joint statement Tuesday that the Senate should reject Farr’s nomination because they say he has a “discriminatory ideology” that threatens the voting rights of nonwhites.

N.C. Sen. Thom Tillis publicly defended Farr, saying he was a victim of a smear-campaign by Democrats. As an attorney, Farr worked for the late Sen. Jesse Helms and more recently defended North Carolina’s voter ID law and the congressional district maps. Farr is one of 22 nominees that could be considered by the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday.

EDITORIAL | FRANK HILL

The coercive power of government No one really likes to have other people tell them what to do. Let’s all admit that much at least.

I HAD THE CHANCE to speak with a brash hot-shot young political operative from another Southern state who had helped a Democrat win a big campaign recently.

As Southern political types are wont to do, there was a lot of bragging and embellishment. Even young ones.

I asked two simple questions: 1) “Why are you a Democrat instead of a Republican?” and 2) “Do you believe in the coercive power of government?”

The bragging stopped. The answer was tepid and trailed off into platitudes and vapors.

The. Questions. Could. Not. Be. Answered.

Most people want to use the coercive power of government to tell people what to do “under penalty of the law” if they think it has some beneficial ameliorative effect on American society.

However, the same people bristle at any effort by others from the opposite political belief who want to use the same coercive power of government to make them do something that impinges on what they perceive to be their God-given freedom to do.

No one really likes to have other people tell them what to do. Let’s all admit that much at least.

Here’s an easy question to start with to see how much “coercive power” of the federal government you prefer: “Do you think rich people should be forced to pay more in taxes?”

Most people will reflexively say yes. They want the government to extract as much tax revenue from rich people and “big bad corporations” as possible.

Mainly because that means they won’t be forced by the same government to pay more in their personal income taxes each year.

Should you be forced to pay more in taxes for the things you say you want the government to do for the poor, for the children, for our collective national defense?

Most people will say no to that question. “I am barely making ends meet as it is today!” people will say, especially if they have children who want to go to

college and a wife who wants to take those same children on a vacation or two during the year.

How about using the coercive power of government to take away the 300 million-plus guns that are in the hands of 50-80 million legal gun owners? Do you support that?

What if the other political side wins an election promising they will overturn every marijuana law on the books in the states that have approved its use and then authorizes the police force of the federal government to come into every home to take previously legal marijuana away from its owners?

How does that coercive use of government look to you now?

Generally, the laws that work for us as a free society are those that enable things to be done that benefit us all whether we acknowledge it or not. National defense and domestic security are two areas where the coercive power of government through taxation benefits us all.

A sound national and state transportation system is another. Building “post roads” actually has the additional benefit of being in the Constitution, so it is “constitutional” as well.

Is “public education” something that your children should be “coercively forced” into attending without any choice at all? Or should you have the freedom to decide on your own to send your child to a charter, religious or private school with tax money you have already paid?

Our political differences are binary stars rotating around this question of the extent of how much coercive force of government each of us thinks Washington, our state capitals and local governments should have to govern our daily lives.

Maybe if we could find some common agreement on the limits of such power on which everyone could agree, that would be the start of finding compromises and solutions all of us could support on everything else.

Four problems with the new climate change report

To put it plainly, Representative Concentration Pathway 8.5 assumes a combination of bad factors that are not likely to all coincide.

IF YOU’RE LIKE ME, you’re happy the White House released the latest version of the National Climate Assessment on Black Friday. Publishing the 1,700-page report the day after Thanksgiving saved me from unwanted dinner conversations about our planet’s impending climate doom.

But if your aunt calls you up this week spouting claims of mass deaths, global food shortages, economic destruction and national security risks resulting from climate change, here’s what you need to know about this report.

1. It wildly exaggerates economic costs.

One statistic that media outlets have seized upon is that the worst climate scenario could cost the U.S. 10 percent of its gross domestic product by 2100.

The 10 percent loss projection is more than twice the percentage that was lost during the Great Recession.

The study, funded in part by climate warrior Tom Steyer’s organization, calculates these costs on the assumption that the world will be 15 degrees Fahrenheit warmer. That temperature projection is even higher than the worstcase scenario predicted by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. In other words, it is completely unrealistic.

2. It assumes the most extreme (and least likely) climate scenario.

The scary projections in the National Climate Assessment rely on a theoretical climate trajectory that is known as Representative Concentration Pathway 8.5.

In estimating impacts on climate change, climatologists use four representative such trajectories to project different greenhouse gas concentrations.

To put it plainly, Representative Concentration Pathway 8.5 assumes a combination of bad factors that are not likely to all coincide. It assumes “the fastest population growth (a doubling of Earth’s population to 12 billion), the lowest rate of technology development, slow GDP growth, a massive increase in world poverty, plus high energy use and emissions.”

Despite what the National Climate Assessment says, Representative Concentration Pathway 8.5 is not a likely scenario. It estimates nearly impossible levels of coal consumption, fails to take into account the massive increase in natural gas production from the shale revolution, and ignores technological innovations that continue to occur in nuclear and renewable technologies.

When taking a more realistic view of the future of conventional fuel use and increased greenhouse gas emissions, the doomsday scenarios vanish.

Climatologist Judith Curry recently wrote, “Many ‘catastrophic’ impacts of climate change don’t really kick at the lower CO2 concentrations, and [Representative Concentration Pathway] then becomes useful as a ‘scare’ tactic.”

3. It cherry-picks science on extreme weather and misrepresents timelines and causality.

A central feature of the National Climate Assessment is that the costs of climate are here now, and they are only going to get worse. We’re going to see more hurricanes and floods. Global warming has worsened heat waves and wildfires.

But last year’s National Climate Assessment on extreme weather tells a different story. As University of Colorado Boulder professor Roger Pielke Jr. pointed out in a Twitter thread in August 2017, there were no increases in drought, no increases in frequency or magnitude of floods, no trends in frequency or intensity of hurricanes, and “low confidence for a detectable human

climate change contribution in the Western United States based on existing studies.”

It’s hard to imagine all of that could be flipped on its head in a matter of a year.

Another sleight of hand in the National Climate Assessment is where certain graph timelines begin and end. For example, the framing of heat wave data from the 1960s to today makes it appear that there have been more heat waves in recent years. Framing wildfire data from 1985 until today makes it appear as though wildfires have been increasing in number.

But going back further tells a different story on both counts, as Pielke Jr. has explained in testimony.

Moreover, correlation is not causality. Western wildfires have been particularly bad over the past decade, but it’s hard to say to what extent these are directly owing to hotter and drier temperatures. It’s even more difficult to pin down how much man-made warming is to blame.

Yet the narrative of the National Climate Assessment is that climate change is directly responsible for the increase in economic and environmental destruction of western wildfires. Dismissing the complexity of factors that contribute to a changing climate and how they affect certain areas of the country is irresponsible.

4. Energy taxes are a costly nonsolution.

The National Climate Assessment stresses that this report “was created to inform policy-makers and makes no specific recommendations on how to remedy the problem.” Yet the takeaway was clear: The costs pf action (10 percent of America’s GDP) dwarf the costs of any climate policy.

The reality, however, is that policies endorsed to combat climate change would carry significant costs and would do nothing to mitigate warming, even if there were a looming catastrophe like the National Climate Association says.

Just last month, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change proposed a carbon tax of between $135 and $5,500 by the year 2030. An energy tax of that magnitude would bankrupt families and businesses, and undoubtedly catapult the world into economic despair.

These policies would simply divert resources away from more valuable use, such as investing in more robust infrastructure to protect against natural disasters or investing in new technologies that make Representative Concentration Pathway 8.5 even more of an afterthought than it already should be.

The Trump administration is coming under criticism for publishing the report on Black Friday. To the extent that was a conscious strategy, it certainly isn’t a new tactic. The Obama administration had frequent Friday night document dumps in responding to congressional inquiries about Solyndra and the Department of Energy’s taxpayer-funded failures in the loan portfolio. The Environmental Protection Agency even released its Tier 3 gas regulations, which increased the price at the pump, on Good Friday.

No matter what party is in charge, the opposite party will complain about their burying the story. Regardless, the American public would be better served by enjoying the holiday season and shopping, rather than worrying about an alarmist report.

Black education: What makes sense?

ASHLEE REZIN | CHICAGO SUN-TIMES VIA AP

Oprah Winfrey, left, interviews former first lady Michelle Obama during a kickoff event for Obama’s new book “Becoming” at the United Center in Chicago, Tuesday night, Nov. 13, 2018.

Saint Michelle cashes in, big time Republican first ladies can only dream of this kind of treatment.

MICHELLE OBAMA has a new memoir out called “Becoming.” Add two words: “Very Wealthy.”

The Obamas struck a $65 million book deal for hisand-hers memoirs, and next to it is their $50 million production deal with Netflix. They are set to cash in to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars. One outlet has called them a “billion-dollar brand.” None of their media sycophants find this the tiniest bit controversial. They are the royal family. They cannot possibly be compensated enough.

(President Trump’s wealth? Wealth generated by a lifetime of work in the private sector? Unacceptable.)

Mrs. Obama’s interviews — entirely with women, and mostly black women — are servile in every “objective news” venue and even worse during TV promotional pit stops. Ellen DeGeneres aired a sappy tribute video stuffed with adoration and proclaimed that Obama is “a human being that we all look up to.”

She said, “you inspire all of us. So, we put together a little something for you to just show you how amazing you are.”

No one asks about any Obama scandal, like the 2012 Benghazi attack. No one asks about her controversial, heavy-handed school lunch rules, which Trump thankfully threw out. And no one asks about greed. She has a 10-city stadium tour charging $300 a ticket or more for the superfans to hear her speak. Is it appropriate to cash in on her FLOTUS status this way? How much, if any, has gone to charity? These kinds of questions are unacceptable.

This is Michelle Obama.

Republican first ladies can only dream of this kind of treatment.

To understand the fawning nature of this coverage, consult Andrea Mitchell’s “reporting” on the “NBC Nightly News.” On Nov. 9, Mitchell offered an infomercial for Mrs. Obama, saying, “After fiercely guarding her privacy in the White House years, now the most revealing memoir ever written by a former first lady, ripping President Trump’s false accusations about her husband’s citizenship as bigoted and dangerous.”

Michelle’s body “buzzed with fury after the infamous ‘Access Hollywood’ tape,” Mitchell said. To break up the commercial, there were a few seconds of a clip of President Trump saying, “She got paid a lot

of money to write a book, and they always insist you come up with controversial ...” NBC wouldn’t even air the end of the sentence.

Did Michelle’s body buzz with fury when former President Bill Clinton’s accusers resurfaced to remind people that he sexually assaulted them? Nobody asks.

Mitchell finished the Obama report talking about “intimate details” that were the publisher’s talking points, like Obama’s “devastating miscarriage” and some marriage counseling she went to with Barack.

Oh, and Mitchell said Obama is “on a tour befitting a rock star.”

Now compare. Eight years ago, first lady Laura Bush’s memoir was released, and there was Andrea Mitchell. She began with then-President Bush’s mangling of the Hurricane Katrina optics, saying: “She writes about Katrina. August 31st, two days after the hurricane struck, the levees had failed.

People were desperate. The president flies over instead of visiting.” Mrs. Bush says the president flew over to keep his convoy of vehicles from blocking helpful supplies.

For rebuttal, NBC put on liberal historian Douglas Brinkley, who bizarrely claimed the government was conspiring against help: “the federal government was stopping trucks from Walmart and Kmart with water and food from even arriving.”

Then Mitchell discussed the Bushes’ fear of being poisoned at a German summit in 2007. And then, for a trifecta of “good news,” she brought up Bush’s “lifelong guilt” over having killed a 17-year-old friend in a car accident.

If that contrast sounds like a joke, it is. But it’s also real.

Most Americans would like the media to tread lightly with the first ladies, especially after they’ve lived in the White House. But the liberal media have savaged Nancy Reagan and the Bush wives, and they’re not exactly rolling out a red carpet for Melania Trump. The favoritism cannot be more obvious.

The Shu Shop advertises a sale on Black Friday at Dolphin Mall, Friday, Nov. 23, 2018, in Miami.

$1,007 Will be spent by the average American during the holiday season

NOW THAT Thanksgiving weekend is behind us, the holiday shopping season is in full swing. This year, consumers are expected to spend an average of $1,007.24.

That’s up about $40 from last year according to National Retail Federation data.

With all that shopping, what are people hoping to receive? The top item on the list may be a bit disappointing for those who take time to find just the perfect gift: “For the 12th year in a row, gift cards remain the most popular items on wish lists, requested by 60 percent of those surveyed.”

But 53 percent hope to receive clothing and accessories while 37 percent mentioned books, movies and music. Also on the list

were “electronics (29 percent), home décor (23 percent), jewelry (22 percent), personal care or beauty items (19 percent), sporting goods (18 percent) and home improvement items (17 percent).”

On a related topic, Friday’s Number of the Day noted that 75 million people were expected to shop on Cyber Monday. That’s second only to Black Friday as the biggest shopping day of the year.

Scott Rasmussen’s Number of the Day explores interesting and newsworthy topics at the intersection of culture, politics, and technology and is published by Ballotpedia, the nonprofit, nonpartisan Encyclopedia of American Politics.

WHAT DO YOU THINK of the proposition that no black youngsters should be saved from educational rot until all can be saved? Black people cannot afford to accept such a proposition. Actions by the education establishment, black and white liberal politicians, and some civil rights organizations appear to support the proposition. Let’s look at it with the help of some data developed by my friend and colleague, Dr. Thomas Sowell.

The Nation’s Report Card for 2017 showed the following reading scores for fourthgraders in New York state’s public schools: Thirty-two percent scored below basic, with 32 percent scoring basic, 27 percent scoring proficient and 9 percent scoring advanced.

When it came to black fourth-graders in the state, 19 percent scored proficient, and 3 percent scored advanced.

Dr. Sowell compared 2016-17 scores on the New York state ELA test. Thirty percent of Brooklyn’s William Floyd elementary school third-graders scored well below proficient in English and language arts, but at a Success Academy charter school in the same building, only one did. At William Floyd, 36 percent were below proficient, with 24 percent being proficient and none being above proficient. By contrast, at Success Academy, only 17 percent of third-graders were below proficient, with 70 percent being proficient and 11 percent being above proficient. Among Success Academy’s fourth-graders, 51 percent and 43 percent, respectively, scored proficient and above proficient, while their William Floyd counterparts scored 23 percent and 6 percent, respectively, proficient and above proficient. It’s worthwhile stressing that William Floyd and this Success Academy location have the same address.

There’s little question that charter schools provide superior educational opportunities for black youngsters.

Similar high performance can be found in the Manhattan charter school KIPP Infinity Middle School among its sixth-, seventh- and eighth-graders when compared with that of students at New Design Middle School, a public school at the same location. Liberals believe integration is a necessary condition for black academic excellence. Public charter schools such as those mentioned above belie that vision. Sowell points out that only 39 percent of students in all New York state schools who were recently tested scored at the “proficient” level in math, but 100 percent of the students at the Crown Heights Success Academy tested proficient. Blacks and Hispanics constitute 90 percent of the students in that Success Academy.

There’s little question that charter schools provide superior educational opportunities for black youngsters. In a story, The New York Times ran about charter schools earlier this month, “With Democratic Wins, Charter Schools Face a Backlash in N.Y. and Other States,” John Liu, an incoming Democratic state senator from Queens, said New York City should “get rid of” large charter school networks. State Sen.-elect Julia Salazar, D-Brooklyn, said, “I’m not interested in privatizing our public schools.” The New York Times went on to say, “Over 100,000 students in hundreds of the city’s charter schools are doing well on state tests, and tens of thousands of children are on waiting lists for spots.”

One would think that black politicians and civil rights organizations would support charter schools. To the contrary, they want to saddle charter schools with procedures that make so many public schools a failure. For example, the NAACP demands that charter schools “cease expelling students that public schools have a duty to educate.” It wants charter schools to “cease to perpetuate de facto segregation of the highest performing children from those whose aspirations may be high but whose talents are not yet as obvious.” Most importantly, it wants charter schools to come under the control of teachers unions.

Charter schools have an advantage that some call “selection bias.” Because charter schools require parents to apply or enter lotteries for their children’s admission, they attract more students who have engaged parents and students who are higherachieving and better behaved.

Many in the teaching establishment who are against parental alternatives want alternatives for themselves. In Washington, D.C., and Baltimore, 25 percent of publicschool teachers send their children to private schools. In Philadelphia, 44 percent of teachers do so. In Cincinnati, it’s 41 percent.

In Chicago, 39 percent do, and in Rochester, N.Y., it’s 38 percent. This demonstrates the dishonesty, hypocrisy and arrogance of the elite. Their position is, “One thing for thee and another for me.”

Brown unretires to return to the Tar Heels and rejuvenate football program

By Shawn Krest North State Journal

As proud as Satterfield and his team are to be part of another history-making event, this won’t be the first time App State and Louisiana-Lafayette have met in Boone this season.

Back on Oct. 20, the Mountaineers beat the Ragin’ Cajuns 27-17 in a game that saw sophomore running back Darrynton Evans rush for 183 yards and a touchdown in his first start following a season-ending injury to star Jalin Moore.

Satterfield said that neither team has changed much over the month-and-a-half since they last met, other than the confidence Louisiana-Lafayette has gained while winning four of its last five regular season games to finish at 7-5 (5-3 in the conference).

“They started out 1-3 and have been on a roll the last half of the season,” Satterfield said on a tele-

IN LATE NOVEMBER 1997, Mack Brown announced that he was leaving UNC after 10 seasons as head coach. That same week, former NC State basketball star and current Dallas Maverick Dennis Smith Jr. was born. National League Rookie of the Year Ronald Acuña was born a few weeks later.

In other words, it’s been a while since Brown has been in North Carolina. After a wild three days in Chapel Hill, however, Mack is back, coaching the Tar Heels.

The surprise hiring gives UNC Hall of Fame coaches in the two highest-profile sports — men’s basketball and football — as well as women’s basketball, women’s soccer, softball and field hockey.

“He has won a national championship in football,” athletic director Bubba Cunningham said, “and he’s joining nine other coaches (at UNC) who have won national championships.”

Many of the other coaches were around when Brown was at UNC the first time.

“We know so many people,” Brown said. “So many people stayed in place. Bubba set up a meeting with all the other coaches this morning and … nobody left! They look a little older, but they’re still here, still winning games.”

Brown’s absences — from UNC and the sidelines — are concerns. He returns to the school after more than two decades, the last five spent in retirement after stepping down from Texas following the 2013 season.

Brown will be the fourth UNC coach to return to the job for a second stint and the first since Jim Tatum, who returned in 1956 after being away 14 seasons. Like Brown, Tatum won a national title in between stints in Chapel Hill, coaching Maryland to the 1953 crown. His 21-year span between Tar Heel coaching terms is the longest gap by a UNC coach, topping the 18 years Thomas Trenchard went before taking the job again in 1913.

The previous returning coaches all struggled in their second stint at Carolina, combining for an .805 winning percentage in their first tenure and just .576 in their return.

Cunningham and Brown are confident he’ll be able to break that pattern.

“Mack is unique,” Cunningham said. “I’m confident he’ll do the same thing here. It’s all about those relationships he’s talked about. The players, the high school coaches, the university community and town will embrace him.”

“When you hire somebody, I don’t know what the percentage is, but most of the coaches don’t make it — whether it’s their first stop or their second. It’s a very, very hard profession. We’ve made it everywhere we’ve been. We know how to make it work.”

Brown met with the UNC team following his press conference introduction and stressed the importance of re-recruiting the players who wore blue and white last season.

He also seemed impressed with the team he was inheriting from former coach Larry Fedora.

Appalachian State hosts inaugural Sun Belt title game The Mountaineers face visiting Louisiana-Lafayette for the conference title and an automatic bid to the New Orleans Bowl

By Brett Friedlander North State Journal GIVEN THE EVENTS of the four seasons since Appalachian State’s football program moved up to the FBS level, it’s no surprise that the Mountaineers will be hosting the inaugural Sun Belt Conference Championship Game on Saturday.

“We’re a program that likes to do a lot of firsts,” said coach Scott Satterfield, whose East Division champs will take on West Division winner Louisiana-Lafayette at noon in Kidd Brewer Stadium. “We’ve been able to do that the past four years when you look at making that transition, going to our first bowl game, then two years ago winning the conference.

“And now, the first year that you’re able to have an outright champion, we’re able to host the game. That’s a credit to our players and our staff. Games like this are what our kids play for.”

In addition to the conference title, the winner of Saturday’s game will earn the Sun Belt’s automatic bid to the New Orleans Bowl on Dec. 15. The loser will be selected to play in one of the conference’s other postseason tie-ins.

90 Points allowed by App State in its nine wins this season.

The Mountaineers allowed a combined 79 points in their two losses.

The 15-year veteran from NC State completed his first 25 passes and finished 28 of 29 for 259 yards and three touchdowns in three quarters. Rivers’ 25 straight completions tied Ryan Tannehill’s mark from 2015.

NC State looks to deliver final blow to embattled ECU coach Montgomery The Pirates will play for pride while their coach could be the second straight dismissed following a game against the Wolfpack

By Brett Friedlander North State Journal FOR THE SECOND straight week, the NC State football team is about to face an opponent whose coach figures to be fired once the game is over regardless of the outcome.

Just as it did last Saturday with North Carolina’s Larry Fedora, the Wolfpack is hoping to send East Carolina’s Scottie Montgomery out with a loss.

Bringing about Montgomery’s imminent demise, however, is only a small part of State’s motivation in a game scheduled as a makeup for dates lost to Hurricane Florence back in September.

Not only would a win in the regular season finale keep the Wolfpack’s hopes for a 10-win season alive, but it would also help coach Dave Doeren erase some of the bad memories from his own personal low point — a 33-30 loss to the Pirates in 2016 that turned out to be the high-water mark of Montgomery’s three-year tenure in Greenville.

“Our guys, a lot of them were in that game, so that’s already been brought up not just by me but by them,” Doeren said Monday at his regular weekly press conference. “We’ll see where it goes after that, but all our focus is on beating ECU and playing as good as we can play.

“The fact that we didn’t play well there last time I think resonates with our guys. But that’s not how we’ll win the game. It’s just a conversation. We need to not beat ourselves, and that’s really what we did down there last time with 13 penal-

East Carolina coach Scottie Montgomery fell short of his guarantee of reaching a bowl game this season, and he could be dismissed following the Pirates’ season finale against NC State on Saturday. ties and a bunch of turnovers.”

The Wolfpack (8-3) didn’t exactly bring its “A” game with it to Chapel Hill last week for its annual rivalry matchup with UNC. It trailed the two-win Tar Heels deep into the fourth quarter before rallying to win in overtime on running back Reggie Gallaspy’s school-record fifth touchdown of the day.

The hard-fought victory was a reminder that regardless of re-

cords, rivalry games often bring out the best in the underdog. It’s a realization Doeren said will help bring out the best in his team as it faces another in-state foe looking to put a happy ending on an otherwise disappointing season.

“We are beat up. but we were beat up the last four games,” Doeren said. “So our guys will find a way, and I don’t see let down in our program. I don’t see that. We’re going to rally; we’re going to fight.

We’re going to scrap, we’re going to motivate, and our guys will be ready Saturday.”

How ready ECU will be is anybody’s guess.

Not only are the Pirates (3-8) coming off a 56-6 drubbing at the hands of Cincinnati last Friday, a game that was essentially decided by the end of the first quarter, but they have little left for which to play.

Any chance of fulfilling Mont-

UNC women feel at home in College Cup Looking for their first title since 2012, the Tar Heels get a local advantage with the championship in Cary

By Brett Friedlander North State Journal GEORGETOWN might be undefeated and ranked No. 2 in the nation, but it’s No. 3 North Carolina that will have the homefield advantage when the teams meet Friday in the women’s soccer national semifinals at Cary’s WakeMed Soccer Complex.

That’s not a coincidence, according to the Tar Heels’ Julia Ashley.

“There’s a reason why the national championship is here this year,” the senior defender said.

“It’s for us.”

Ashley and her teammates are no strangers to the venue that will play host to this year’s College Cup. They’ve played 12 times this season at the WakeMed complex while their permanent stadium in Chapel Hill is being rebuilt.

The home-field advantage came into play last Saturday, when a large, supportive crowd helped lift the Tar Heels (20-3-2) to an NCAA quarterfinal victory against UCLA. Now that coach Anson Dorrance’s team has advanced to soccer’s version of the Final Four, more than the surroundings will be familiar for UNC. This will be its 25th trip to the College Cup in the 37 years it’s been held.

Although the Tar Heels have won a record 21 national championships, they haven’t raised the trophy since 2012. It’s a drought that weighs heavily on the minds of this year’s team members, especially seniors such as goalkeeper Samantha Leshnak.

“We’ve been training for this moment all our lives,” she said.

“For it to actually become a reality is undescribable. I’m so happy I can do it with the Tar Heels because I would love to carry on the tradition of amazing people, amazing women and championships.”

Leshnak is especially motivated to return UNC back to the women’s soccer mountain.

She took it personally a year ago when the Tar Heels’ championship bid ended in the Sweet 16 with a 2-1 home loss to Princeton.

JEFFERY CAMARATI | UNC ATHLETICS

Senior defender Julia Ashley and the Tar Heels play undefeated Georgetown in the College Cup being held in Cary.

Leshnak more than redeemed herself against UCLA by making two big saves in the penalty kick shootout that gave UNC the victory after the teams played to a 2-2 draw in regulation and overtime.

“After last year, it was a rough one losing in the Sweet 16,” teammate Ashley said. “She made a couple of mistakes in that game.

We all did. But I think she partially blamed herself and (Saturday), Sam won us that game. To save two PKs is pretty unbelievable.”

As much as the loss that ended the 2017 season has driven the Tar Heels, another more recent defeat has provided them with an even greater source of motivation.

That would be a 3-2 loss to Florida State in the ACC tournament final on Nov. 4, a game in which the Seminoles scored the decisive goal with just under seven minutes remaining.

FSU, the nation’s fourthranked team, will play defending national champion and top-seeded Stanford in Friday’s second semifinal. UNC and Georgetown (21-0-3) play at 5 p.m. Both games are sold out.

“There’s a reason why the national championship is here this year. It’s for us.”

Julia Ashley, UNC senior defender “Since we lost against Florida State, it was kind of a bad day to have a bad game, but it just brought us together so much more,” Leshnak said. “We were like, you know what, we’re special. Let’s do something about it.”

While it was Leshnak who made the saves and fellow upperclassmen Ashley and Dorian Bailey who scored the goals that lifted UNC past UCLA and into the College Cup, the Tar Heels are actually a young team.

Their four first-team All-ACC selections were sophomore forward Alessia Russo, sophomore midfielder Taylor Otto, freshman midfielder Brianna Pinto and sophomore defender Emily Fox. Russo was the league’s Offensive

Player of the Year after posting six goals and four assists despite playing in only 14 games because of injury and a commitment to her home country England in the U20 FIFA World Cup in France.

Russo is just one of many UNC players with international experience, a fact their coach said offsets their relative youth against college competition.

“I think we have a shockingly mature team for a team that starts so many freshmen and sophomores,” Dorrance said. “Obviously a player like Lotte Wubben-Moy, who’s already played on the professional level on an amateur contract, is a part of this great spine we have. But also Emily Fox just winning with the U.S. (national) team, playing as a starter against Portugal. Brianna Pinto came back from the U20 World Cup, so I’ve got a very mature soccer roster, even though they’re young players.

“Also in our competitive cauldron, which obviously we’re famous for, the kids are competing every single day and they develop a hardness that I think makes our kids unique.”

.257 Scottie Montgomery’s winning percentage as ECU’s coach (9-26).

gomery’s “guarantee” of at least six wins and a bowl bid, the standard that was likely the bar for him keeping his job, went out the window several weeks ago.

“That’s the truth,” the former Duke wide receiver and offensive coordinator said. “It’s frustrating for a lot of reasons. We’re frustrated because we feel like we have some players that can play at a high level. Unfortunately, they’ve been injured. We feel that we have some young guys coming on and playing well. They haven’t been able to do it at the same time. At the end of the day, that’s what our job is to do, to make all of that happen.”

It’s almost certain that Montgomery won’t be around long enough to accomplish that goal, based on his record of 9-26 (4-20 in the American Athletic Conference) and the fact that a new athletic director is about to be hired later this week.

When asked about his future by the media at his weekly press conference on Monday, the embattled coach seemed resigned to the reality that his time in Greenville is about to be up.

“It’s not a point where I say we’ve done enough, because if we had won nine games that still would not have been enough for me,” he said. “Like I said when I first came here, we came here to win championships. We haven’t been able to do that for a lot of reasons, and I’m one of the reasons.”

If Saturday’s game is Montgomery’s last with the Pirates, he’s determined to go out the way he came in — with an emotional win against the Wolfpack.

“The biggest deal is the way that we come out and prepare this week,” he said. “We’re going to work our butts off.”

APP STATE from page B1 conference Monday. “They have a very explosive offense (and) defensively (they’re) very aggressive.

They’re a good football team.”

App State (9-2, 7-1) has been even better, with its only losses coming in overtime to Penn State and at Georgia Southern on a night in which quarterback Zac Thomas missed all but the opening series with a concussion.

That injury was one of several the Mountaineers, who earned their first FBS national ranking the week of the Georgia Southern game, have had to overcome this season.

Satterfield said that the ability to continue playing well and winning despite the loss of key players is a testament to the talent and depth of App State’s roster.

Not only are the Mountaineers the highest-scoring team in the Sun Belt at 36.6 points per game, but they also lead the league in scoring defense allowing an average of just 17.8 points allowed.

“We’ve tried to have a program here where we’ve worked hard, developed players and just tried to continue to get better every day,” Satterfield said. “We’ve been consistent with that. I think that’s why we’ve been able to stay on the top of the Sun Belt and have another opportunity to win this thing.”

App State has won or shared the last two conference titles. That success, however, could turn out to be bittersweet no matter how Saturday’s game turns out.

Although the Mountaineers dodged one bullet when Satterfield didn’t get the North Carolina job as many speculated following the firing of Larry Fedora on Sunday, his name is still being mentioned in connection with several other Power 5 positions.

The former App State quarterback declined to address his future when asked about it Monday, but he said that the attention from other schools won’t be a distraction.

“When you have a program that’s consistent winning football games and doing it the right way, you’re going to have people talk about you in a positive manner,” Satterfield said. “For us, that’s all we do, trying to put a consistent product out there to try to win football games.

“I’d rather be in these conversations than the other ones, particularly this time of year. There are a lot of bad things happening for some of these coaches. All I’m focusing on is trying to win this Sun Belt championship again.”

States eye sports betting, wrestle with regulatory details Already legal in seven states, gambling on sports likely to spread further

By Wayne Parry The Associated Press

Tight end Greg Olsen and the Panthers face an uphill battle to make the playoffs due to a three-game losing streak that has them at 6-5.

Panthers look to snap losing streak, turn season around Three-game skid has put Carolina’s return to the postseason in jeopardy

By Shawn Krest North State Journal CHARLOTTE — On paper, it’s hard to imagine a scenario where the Panthers would lose last Sunday’s game.

Carolina had more yards than Seattle — 476 to 397. The Panthers held the Seahawks to 75 yards on the ground while gaining nearly three times that.

Christian McCaffrey topped the 100-yard mark in both rushing and receiving yards. Cam Newton didn’t throw an incompletion in the first half and was 25of-30 for the game.

Drilling down, the Panthers also had the edge in red zone efficiency, more first downs, fewer penalties and even an edge in return yardage.

Yet, somehow, the Seahawks took the game, 30-27, at the buzzer.

“That’s what happened,” receiver Jarius Wright agreed.

“You can go for every stat in the world, but if you don’t win, at the end of the day, all of those stats don’t mean a thing. We’re all about winning. That’s No. 1.”

On paper, what once was a promising season for the Panthers is now looking like one that may end short of the postseason.

The loss was the third straight for Carolina, putting the team one game above .500 and currently out of the playoff running, thanks to losses to fellow 6-5 teams Washington and Seattle.

“6-5 is not great,” tight end Greg Olsen said. “You’re 6-2, and now you’re 6-5? I don’t know if that’s how anybody saw it going.”

The Panthers can still make it to the playoffs, as coach Ron Ri-

vera pointed out to the team and media after the game.

“The truth is, we still control our own destiny. … We still have five games to go. We control it.

Go out and play.”

Of the teams that made the last 10 Super Bowls, half lost back-to-back games, but only three suffered a losing streak of three games or more — the 2012 Ravens, the 2011 Giants and the 2009 Saints. All three ended up winning the Super Bowl.

The Giants are perhaps the best model for the Panthers to consider. New York lost three straight to drop to 6-5, then lost to Green Bay the following week to run the streak to four games and drop to .500.

On the other hand, the Giants benefitted from being in a very weak NFC East. New York’s 9-7 record made it the only winning team in a division whose other three squads combined to go 2127. The Giants had a worse record than both NFC wild-card teams that season.

A 9-7 mark won’t work for the Panthers, since New Orleans has already posted 10 wins and are running away with the division.

That means Carolina needs to qualify for the wild card.

The schedule ahead includes two games against those Saints, currently blowing teams out and cruising with just one loss, so five more wins are far from guaranteed for the Panthers.

There are also scenarios where an 11-5 Carolina team might still get edged out for the final spot, but Rivera’s message is clear.

The team’s goals are still well within reach. First, however, the Panthers need to stop the bleeding.

“We don’t have a choice,” Olsen said. “We’ve got a lot of (stuff) to figure out before we worry about winning five games. I told you guys last week, we have to worry

“You’re 6-2, and now you’re 6-5? I don’t know if that’s how anybody saw it going.”

Greg Olsen, Panthers tight end about one game, and we haven’t won one game in three weeks.

Forget about five. We’ve got to win one.”

Rivera also cautioned the team not to look too far ahead.

“One game series from here on out,” he said, adding in Monday’s press conference “Win one.

We’ve got to win one.”

Other than the Saints, the upcoming schedule should help the Panthers find the elusive wins.

The team’s other three opponents are all sub-.500. Nothing is guaranteed, however. Carolina lost to Detroit — currently 4-7 — last week, and two of the upcoming foes with losing records are Tampa, who nearly upset the Panthers with an epic comeback at Bank of America Stadium earlier this month, and the Falcons, who beat them in Atlanta near the start of the season.

Rivera doesn’t plan to make any major personnel changes.

“Continue to stay the course,” he said when asked about the potential of tinkering with the lineup.

“We had guys that played really well,” he said of the Seattle game. “But you can point to critical mistakes those guys made.

That’s the biggest thing. Everybody that played well, you could say there’s two or three plays they could have done better.”

That’s the difference between games — and seasons — that look good on paper and ones that actually end successfully.

NEW YORK — Numerous U.S. states are considering jumping on the legal sports betting bandwagon, even as they struggle with the details of regulating it.

How much to tax it, and how to regulate mobile betting on phones are emerging as thorny issues for states.

So far, seven states offer legal sports betting: Nevada, New Jersey, Delaware, West Virginia, Mississippi, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island. And although New Mexico has not passed a sports betting law, the Santa Ana Star Casino & Hotel started taking sports bets last month through a tribal gambling compact.

At a sports betting conference Tuesday in New York, state representatives from Minnesota, New York and Ohio discussed their states’ interest in such bets.

They’re also interested in making sure players are protected, taxes are adequate but not punitive and that mobile gambling be widely accessible.

Patrick Garofalo, a Minnesota state representative, said the betting public knows exactly what it wants, and it’s up to states and gambling companies to give it to them.

“The American sports fan has made a decision: they want to be able to bet on their favorite sports teams from their home,” he said.

“They want to do it from their couch.”

New Jersey won a U.S. Supreme Court case in May clearing the way for all 50 states to offer legal sports betting should they so choose. New York, one of the largest potential markets, has yet to pass sports betting legislation, but hasn’t given up.

“In New York, sports betting is on its back with its feet and arms sticking in the air,” said state As-

BROWN from page B1 “I was here for practice early in the fall and got to watch them,” he said. “I told Larry, ‘You’ve got a chance. You’ve got some good players.’ … I saw every game. I was on set (at ESPN) so I didn’t get to see every play, every game, but I got a pretty good feel of who we are. I’m proud of these kids. They played hard.”

Brown joked that he almost texted congratulations to Fedora and Cunningham late in the Virginia Tech game, when the Tar Heels appeared to be on the verge of a win.

Instead, it was one of several late leads that Carolina lost in a long season.

“It was a year that just things like that didn’t fall in line late,” he said.

Brown also took a moment to mention his own record in close games.

“The thing I loved most about football is winning late games close,” he said. “That was the coolest thing — that you had the confidence, the ability and the discipline to come back.”

Once he meets with the current players, Brown’s next task will be to catch up on recruiting. Fedora had commitments from 12 high school seniors, and early signing day — something implemented after Brown retired from Texas — is less than a month away.

“I’m further behind in that area than any other,” he said. “The rest

We need to get out immediately. We’ll start immediately.”

Brown made a point in his first term at UNC of building his team with a foundation of in-state players, something Fedora was criticized for neglecting. Brown will work to rebuild the school’s relationship with high school coaches around the state.

“We’ve got to win at home first,” Brown said. “If the locals won’t come, why would somebody else from farther away?”

Brown will have a five-year contract with a base salary of $750,000 a year, with supplemental compensation of $2 million a year. He’ll also get $200,000 from Nike, $500,000 from Learfield for his coach’s show and a $50,000 a year expense account.

The total compensation of $3.5

semblyman Gary Pretlow.

In the meantime, New York is watching many of its residents commute to New Jersey to place bets on mobile apps or at the Meadowlands Racetrack in East Rutherford, just outside New York.

One sticking point in New York’s legislation has been how to regulate mobile gambling, including where gamblers would physically have to be in order to place legal mobile bets, Pretlow said.

New York’s next budget is due in April, and the legislature is waiting to see whether Gov. Andrew Cuomo will include a sports betting proposal in his budget plan, Pretlow added.

Ohio state Sen. William Coley, president of the National Council of Legislators from Gaming States, said there is interest in the Buckeye State in sports betting, but a plan has yet to be agreed upon.

“If we do our jobs and get this right the big winners are going to be the leagues,” he said. “If you put $2 on a horse, you care whether that particular horse wins or not.”

Taxes are a thorny issue: Set them too high, and you make it difficult if not impossible for gambling companies to make a profit. New York had considered a rate of 8.25 percent, while Minnesota eyed a 10 percent rate. Ohio has not yet agreed on a number; Pennsylvania set its tax rate at 36 percent: four times the rate of neighboring New Jersey.

Also on Tuesday, sports book operators formed an association to patrol the industry and root out fraud. The Sports Wagering Integrity Monitoring Association is based in Atlantic City, N.J., and headed by George Rover, the former deputy director of the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement.

It plans to partner with state and tribal gaming regulators, federal, state and tribal law enforcement to detect and report illegal and unethical activity. Officials from MGM Resorts and Caesars Entertainment will serve on its board.

million a year makes Brown just the sixth highest-paid coach in the ACC. Including just the portion paid by the school, Brown would be 10th in the league.

UNC will also need to pay the $12 million on the contract of Larry Fedora, fired following Saturday’s loss to NC State that finished a 2-9 season. That buyout will be reduced if Fedora gets another job.

Brown said he has some ideas of who he would like to bring in as his

assistant coaches but didn’t mention any candidates.

He’s expected to hire Gene Chizik as defensive coordinator.

Chizik served in the same role for Larry Fedora in 2015 and 2016 before stepping down to spend more time with his family.

Chizik coached Auburn to the 2010 national title. Brown was head coach of the 2005 Texas Longhorns title team. That would give UNC a staff with two coaches who have won national titles, just the second time that’s happened in college football history.

In 1925, Harvard was coached

by Bob Fisher, who won the 1919 title with the Crimson. Charles Daly, who won a title in 1914 with Army, was his assistant.

In fact, Chizik is just the seventh man to win a title as a head coach and go on to serve as an assistant anywhere. Dennis Erickson (Utah, 2013-16 after winning a title at Miami in 1991) is the only other coach to do it in the last 60 years.

With or without Chizik, Brown will begin the process of changing the attitude and expectations of a program that has seen both take a downturn in the last two years of Fedora’s tenure as coach.

“I love this place,” Brown said, “and it needs to be really, really great in football. Every other sport is great. Football needs to pick it up.

“We’re planning on winning next year. We want to win now. It’s very, very important to us.”

LeChase Construction honored

by ABC Carolinas Chapter for Excellence in Construction

By Emery P. Dalesio The Associated Press

DURHAM – LeChase Construction has announced that its recent project, the AC Hotel Chapel Hill Downtown, has earned a 2018 Excellence in Construction Award from the Carolinas Chapter of Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC). It was recognized with an Eagle Award—the highest honor a project can receive— during ABC’s 16th annual Excellence in Construction Awards Gala earlier this month.

The winning building was built using modular construction—a method still relatively new in the U.S. hotel industry.

Upon completion in December 2017, it became the very first of its kind in the state of North Carolina, and only the second Marriott-branded hotel in the U.S. to use this method.

“We are honored to receive an Eagle Award for this project,” said Seth London, LeChase vice president. “Taking this on was a bit of a risk—there were several existing conditions we had to tackle to make the site become what it is now—but seeing it come to life through extensive work with our partners was an extremely proud moment.”

The Excellence in Construction Awards program is the industry’s leading competition, developed to honor innovative and high-quality merit shop construction projects. Awards honor all construction team members including the contractor, owner, architect and engineer.

The winning projects, selected from entries submitted from ABC Carolinas Chapter contractors of all sizes and specialties, are recognized for exceptional innovation and design, technical ability, safety, project management and quality of construction.

WASHINGTON, N.C. — Floodwaters rose about 15 inches into Danielle Rees’ home in September when Hurricane Florence drenched this tidewater city on the Pamlico River and overwhelmed a local creek and marshland. The first floor was a sopping mess of gritty, swampy water in three bedrooms, a bathroom and a laundry.

“It’s part of living close to the river, and Washington is really low land,” said Rees, a graphic designer who grew up in the city.

But she anticipates her $2,000-a-year policy through the taxpayer-subsidized National Flood Insurance Program will help her rebuild the home about a quarter-mile from the river, just as it did in 2011 after Hurricane Irene — and as it did, under previous ownership, after floods in 1996, 1998 and 1999, according to her property history provided by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The program has done something similar, over and over, for others.

Records at FEMA, which operates the program, show that nearly 37,000 properties from the Carolinas to California have repeatedly flooded and been rebuilt — some dozens of times — with help from a federal insurance program that is, itself, financially underwater. About 18,000 of those are currently covered by policies, and 15,000 of those haven’t taken voluntary steps to reduce the risk of future damage to their property, FEMA said this week.

C2 Apple to tutor women in tech in bid to diversify industry Cupertino, Calif.

Apple is opening a new training camp designed to address the technology industry’s scarcity of women in executive and computer programming jobs.

Under the initiative announced Monday, female entrepreneurs and programmers will attend two-week tutorial sessions at the company’s Cupertino, California, headquarters. The camps will be held every three months beginning in January.

For each round, Apple will accept up to 20 app makers founded or led by a woman.

The app maker must have at least one female programmer in its ranks to qualify. Apple will cover travel expenses for up to three workers from each accepted company. Like other major tech companies, Apple has been trying to lessen its dependence on men in highpaying programming jobs. Men fill about three out of every four technology jobs at Apple.

Produce industry expects to ship some romaine again soon New York A produce industry group says it expects U.S. health officials to scale back a public health alert warning people not to eat any romaine lettuce because of an E. coli outbreak. Jennifer McEntire of the United Fresh Produce Association says the Food and Drug Administration informed the group that a narrower alert would be announced as early as Monday. She says special labeling would be required for the romaine given clearance to go on the market. Health officials warned people last week not to eat any romaine because they hadn’t yet identified a source of contamination in the outbreak. When the reported illnesses started, most the romaine sold in the U.S. was being grown in central California. Harvests recently began shifting to southern California and the Yuma, Arizona, region.

NC Treasurer calls for US Dept of Justice to recover funds potentially owed to NC taxpayers Treasurer Dale Folwell calls for pricing transparency from all North Carolina hospitals, citing “anticompetitive activities”

By Emily Roberson North State Journal RALEIGH — State Treasurer Dale R. Folwell, CPA, called this week for the United States Department of Justice to take action and for all North Carolina hospitals to be transparent in their pricing. The announcement was made in light of the recent settlement of a lawsuit filed by the United States Department of Justice and the North Carolina Department of Justice against Atrium Health, formerly known as Carolinas Healthcare System.

The civil antitrust lawsuit challenged provisions in Atrium’s contracts with major health insurers including Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina (Blue Cross NC) that prohibited what otherwise would have been used to direct consumers towards high quality, cost-effective health care providers.

“For decades, the largest public hospital system in North Carolina has been engaging in this and other anti-competitive activities,” said Treasurer Folwell. “In the spirit of this settlement, I’m calling on all North Carolina hospitals to be transparent and to publish their pricing so consumers can make informed decisions regarding health care. I’m also calling for the United States Department of Justice and the North Carolina Department of Justice, on behalf of the State Health Plan, to recover the potentially hundreds of millions overcharged to consumers by hospital management from this illegal activity.”

Earlier this year, the State Health Plan (Plan) submitted a public records request to UNC Health Care for a copy of its contract and fee schedule with Blue Cross NC. Blue Cross NC is the third party administrator for the Plan and negotiates pricing for the

State Treasurer Dale Folwell speaks at a Council of State meeting in Raleigh.

“We’re doing what’s necessary at this point in our state’s history because others didn’t.”

Treasurer Dale Folwell Plan’s 727,000 members.

In response, UNC Health Care provided more than 100 pages of redacted information with no visible prices. The state-owned hospital said that pricing information between Blue Cross NC and itself is confidential. Treasurer Folwell responded with a press release highlighting its absurdity.

“The taxpayers need to understand that the state treasurer cannot find out from the state hospital what the State Health Plan is paying for medical services for state workers,” said Folwell. “It’s beyond belief.”

In order to begin reducing med-

ical costs and to provide price transparency for its members, the Plan announced a new medical provider reimbursement strategy using referenced-based pricing based on a percentage over published government rates plus, on average, a 77 percent profit. The hospital association has vehemently opposed transparency in pricing and is intending to go to the North Carolina General Assembly to immediately stop the Plan’s initiative to bring transparency and reduce costs. This opposition comes despite the state auditor’s finding of seven years ago that the state is at risk for potentially overpaying medical claims.

If the hospital association is successful in stopping the Plan, then premiums, copays, and deductibles for the nearly 727,000 teachers, public safety workers, and other state and local employees are likely to increase. In addition, the projected $300 million in savings to taxpayers and $65 million in savings to members will never be realized. This could have a devastat-

ing effect on the long-term viability of the Plan.

“In North Carolina, we already spend $3.4 billion a year in taxpayers’ money for state employees and retiree health care. Additionally, we owe $30 billion for long-term health care costs and we don’t even know what we’re supposed to pay for medical services,” said Folwell.

“If something isn’t done now, then other core functions of government like education, public safety, and roads will be financially impacted.”

Folwell also said that after his legal team reviews the settlement, he will be submitting comments on the proposed settlement to the United States Department of Justice.

“We’re doing what’s necessary at this point in our state’s history because others didn’t,” said Folwell. “As chaotic as health care is, we have not lost our commitment on focusing all of our attention on the member and taxpayers like them. It’s not enough to just point out problems, ultimately they have to be fixed.”

Stocks bounce back as tech, retail and banks jump New York Global stocks have risen this week after taking big losses last week. Major technology companies recovered some of their recent losses and retailers and travel companies climbed on the first full trading day of the holiday shopping season.

Major indexes in the U.S., Europe and Asia all climbed.

London’s main stock index jumped after the British government and the European Union agreed to terms governing Britain’s departure from the EU in March. It’s not clear if Parliament will approve the deal. Stocks have been in a steep downturn since early October, but that slump has included some substantial rallies. Banks rose Monday as interest rates turned higher after a two-week slide. The first full trading day of the holiday shopping period was a strong one for companies that sell goods and services to consumers.

Fox begins digital service for viewers who want more opinion news New York The new streaming service Fox Nation that launched Tuesday is aimed at people who don’t think Fox News Channel offers enough opinion. Fox is becoming the latest television news operation to stake out digital turf. Rather than an attempt to seek out young cord-cutters, Fox Nation is a subscription-based service designed to complement Fox News Channel. The bulk of its original offerings will post between 9 a.m. and the TV prime-time hours. “With our massively loyal, dedicated fan base, it gives us an opportunity to give them more of what they want from us,” said John Finley, the executive overseeing Fox Nation.

Danielle Rees looks out over marshland that flooded her home near Washington, N.C. Rees’ house was saturated by about 15 inches of water when a creek and the marshland a quarter mile from the Pamlico River backed up during Hurricane Florence. “It’s part of living close to the river, and Washington is really low land,” Rees said.

INSURANCE from page C1 households altogether, North Carolina has only about 134,000 flood insurance policies. The state has 1,132 structures from Carolina Beach to Charlotte on the “severe repetitive loss” list.

Eighty-two percent of the flooded properties that have been bailed out repeatedly are single-family homes, said Moore.

Those homes were worth an average of $115,000, but have incurred $150,000 in damage claims, he said.

“Many people that find themselves in a situation of living in a repeatedly flooded house would like nothing more than to never file another flood insurance damage claim ever again. But the only assistance that’s readily available to them after a flood is to re-

build if they have flood insurance.

So they’re kind of trapped,” Moore said.

The flood program and its ability to borrow money expire at the end of this month as hurricane season ends, unless Congress approves another extension. FEMA last year urged Congress to consider limiting payouts that far exceed a property’s total value. Efforts to reform the program, including

how it treats repeatedly flooded properties, are again on the table.

But partisanship and the opposition of Louisiana’s two Republican senators mean the likeliest result is a short-term renewal of the insurance program, said R.J. Lehmann, insurance policy director at the free-market think tank R Street in Washington.

“There won’t be really any reforms at all this year,” he said.
