The coaching staff decided on junior RHP Evan Hart Hart pitched a scoreless first inning before the Aggies turned to Halford He pitched magnificently for six straight innings before the Camels finally got to him in the visitors' eighth inning But a pop-out and a strikeout ended the Aggies threat In the fourth, A&T put two on with one out after Campbell's left-handed starter Jake Murray walked senior Kristian Amaro and committed an error on a Nick DiCarlo groundball the Aggies left two more on base with a foul out and strikeout scoring the game's first run with two outs in the frame Junior Andrew Tinsley reached base on an error in the fifth. He stole second and eventually moved to third on a wild pitch before freshman Savoi Edwards brought him home with a rocket RBI double to left center field to put A&T ahead 1-0 Halford continued to roll as the game moved into the sixth inning He gave up a leadoff single to Dalen Thompson who eventually moved to second base on an error But Halford ended the inning on a flyout and a strikeout sending the game into the home sixth with the Aggies still leading After Campo got stranded at second following a two-out double in the A&T sixth Halford retired Charlie Meglio on a foul out and Andrew Schuldt on a pop-out before Jackson Thompson took Halford's 3-1 pitch over the right-field wall to tie the game 1-1 4-3) stepped on the bump in the A&T seventh and ended the inning on a double play Rossow benefitted from that as the Camels put the game away in the eighth Halford had six strikeouts going into the eighth and continued to look mighty to open the frame despite giving up a leadoff single to Darnell Parker Parker was eliminated from the base paths when Dalen Thompson hit into a double play But a two-walk to Joe Morton proved crucial Morton stole second and scored on an RBI single from Jonah Oster Pinch-hitter Lukas Schramm stepped up and hit a two-run homer to left field to give the Camels a 4-1 advantage It ended Halford's terrific outing as senior RHP Diego

Houlahan and CNN Political Commentators Ashley Allison and Kristen Soltis Anderson discuss Trump saying he doesn’t know if he has to uphold the Constitution as well as growing concerns over his handling of the economy — President Donald Trump is circumspect about his duties to uphold due process rights laid out in the Constitution saying in a new interview that he does not know whether U.S citizens and noncitizens alike deserve that guarantee President Donald Trump holds a document with notes about Kilmar Abrego Garcia as he speaks with reporters in the Oval Office of the White House on April 18 in Washington He also said he does not think military force will be needed to make Canada the “51st state” and played down the possibility he would look to run for a third term in the White House interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press" came as the Republican president's efforts to quickly enact his agenda face sharper headwinds with Americans just as his second administration crossed the 100-day mark according to a recent poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research made clear that he is not backing away from a to-do list that he insists the American electorate broadly supported when they elected him in November Here are some of the highlights from the interview with NBC's Kristen Welker that was taped Friday at his Mar-a-Lago property in Florida and aired Sunday Critics on the left have tried to make the case that Trump is chipping away at due process in the United States they cite the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia a Salvadoran man who was living in Maryland when he was mistakenly deported to El Salvador and imprisoned without communication Trump says Abrego Garcia is part of a violent transnational gang The Republican president has sought to turn deportation into a test case for his campaign against illegal immigration despite a Supreme Court order saying the administration must work to return Abrego Garcia to the U.S citizens and noncitizens both deserve due process as laid out in the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution I don’t know,” Trump said when pressed by Welker The Fifth Amendment provides “due process of law,” meaning a person has certain rights when it comes to being prosecuted for a crime the 14th Amendment says no state can “deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.” and they are going to obviously follow what the Supreme Court said.” He said he was pushing to deport “some of the worst most dangerous people on Earth,” but that courts are getting in his way “I was elected to get them the hell out of here and the courts are holding me from doing it,” Trump said The president has repeatedly threatened that he intends to make Canada the “51st state.” Fareed assesses the first 100 days of President Donald Trump’s second term with Jon Meacham Pulitzer Prize-winning presidential biographer Before his White House meeting on Tuesday with newly elected Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney Trump is not backing away from the rhetoric that has angered Canadians told NBC that it was “highly unlikely” that the U.S would need to use military force to make Canada the 51st state He offered less certainty about whether his repeated calls for the U.S to take over Greenland from NATO-ally Denmark can be achieved without military action “Something could happen with Greenland,” Trump said we need that for national and international security economy is in a “transition period” but he expects it to do “fantastically” despite the economic turmoil sparked by his tariffs He offered sharp pushback when Welker noted that some Wall Street analysts now say the chances of a recession are increasing some people on Wall Street say,” Trump said Some people on Wall Street say that we’re going to have the greatest economy in history.” He also deflected blame for the 0.3% decline in the U.S “I think the good parts are the Trump economy and the bad parts are the Biden economy because he’s done a terrible job,” referring to his Democratic predecessor Trump doubled down on his recent comments at a Cabinet meeting that children might have to have two dolls instead of 30 denying that is an acknowledgment his tariffs will lead to supply shortages “I’m just saying they don’t need to have 30 dolls The president has repeatedly suggested he could seek a third term in the White House even though the 22nd Amendment of the Constitution says that “No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice.” Trump told NBC there is considerable support for him to run for a third term “But this is not something I’m looking to do,” Trump said “I’m looking to have four great years and turn it over to somebody Trump's previous comments about a third term sometimes seem more about provoking outrage on the political left The Trump Organization is even selling red caps with the words “Trump 2028.” he has suggested he was seriously looking into

address listed on your account Yolanda Hill answers a question during a town hall with her husband former Lt a defunct Greensboro nonprofit run by the wife of former Lt has not returned $101,142 in federal funding it was paid while operating a child nutrition program The failure to return the payments has led to the group and three of its officials being barred from participating in the Child and Adult Care Food Program Robinson’s wife who was listed as owner and chief financial officer of Balanced along with chairwoman Renee Matthews-Jones Department of Health and Human Services as being responsible for the organization’s lack of compliance Department of Agriculture’s National Disqualification List Being on the national disqualification list includes a prohibition on serving “as a principal in any institution or facility or as a daycare provider” in the federal program The officials will remain on the list for up to seven years unless the USDA’s Food and Nutrition Services’ division and DHHS determine that the serious deficiencies have been corrected They will not be reinstated as long as the payments have not been returned Attorneys representing Balanced Nutrition could not be reached for comment on the termination and disqualification determinations DHHS said in its reports that Balance officials were notified of the potential termination on April 7 and were told they had 15 days to submit appeal requests The nonprofit group is required to return $101,142 in federal funding to the state Office of Administrative Hearing DHHS said no payment has been received as of April 29 The affected federal funding was provided in February-March 2023 the nonprofit received $1 million in federal funding for fiscal 2024 and more than $2 million in fiscal 2023 The Associated Press has reported — based on tax filings and state documents — that Balanced Nutrition collected roughly $7 million in government funding since 2017 The nonprofit paid at least $830,000 in salaries to Hill Robinson and other members of their family according to the tax records and state documents Before being voluntarily closed on April 30 Balanced Nutrition served as a conduit between federal agencies and child care centers seeking grant funds to provide free- and reduced-cost meals The nonprofit participated in the Child and Adult Care Food Program with its latest contract starting on Sept A notice of serious deficiency, disclosed by DHHS on July 24 is at the heart of the state and federal investigations of Balanced Nutrition The serious deficiencies included: failure to operate the program according to performance standards; not retaining all records to support reimbursement claims for three years; failing to retain income eligibility applications and enrollment and meal count documentation Balanced Nutrition “did not report expenses accurately and unallowable expenses were claimed” for four different child care centers “CACFP sponsoring organizations are bound by legal and contractual obligations to participate in compliance reviews,” DHHS said reviews are conducted every two to three years at a minimum depending on the size of an institution and previous findings.” DHHS officials determined Balance Nutrition is “seriously deficient” in its participation and that the three officials “are responsible for the serious deficiency.” The USDA disclosed in September its investigation of Balanced Nutrition DHHS confirmed it had provided documentation to USDA’s Southeast Regional Office of the Food and Nutrition Service division “It is standard practice to provide an email copy of any notice of serious deficiency to the Southeast regional office,” DHHS said in September Among the areas cited as being in “serious deficiency” and requiring corrective actions were administration fiscal integrity and verification of a valid claim four were listed as repeat findings from a 2022-23 review of the group DHHS said that “when there are findings from the review that do not rise to the level of serious deficiency the institution must complete a corrective action plan to address the findings in order to avoid the issuance of a notice of serious deficiency.” DHHS said the frequency of reviews “increases for programs who have had findings in prior compliance reviews to ensure the sponsoring organization has corrected the findings and is complying with state and federal rules.” Following the standard 2022-23 review of Balanced Nutrition DHHS offered the option of completing a corrective action plan to address the findings from the compliance review After the nonprofit fulfilled that requirement DHHS put the nonprofit back on the review schedule for the next federal fiscal year to ensure continued compliance with state and federal rules “The 2022-23 findings led to the 2023-24 review,” DHHS said The operations of Balanced Nutrition became a high-profile topic during Robinson’s unsuccessful campaign for governor how the operation brought fiscal stability to his family giving him the ability to quit a furniture manufacturing job in 2018 and begin a career in conservative politics There was heightened criticism and scrutiny paid to Balanced Nutrition’s operations and financial status both by Democrats during the general election and by Republican primary challengers that the DHHS review addresses in part “Robinson owes North Carolinians an explanation about his involvement in this series of major failures and exactly how this organization was using taxpayer dollars,” Devon Cruz national press secretary for the Democratic Governors Association communications director for Robinson’s governor campaign issued a statement in July that claimed an independent auditor issued a report on Balanced Nutrition “with no material findings.” Robinson is proud of the work his wife has done to help needy children get nutritious meals,” Lonergan said “Yet as soon as Mark Robinson announced his campaign for governor in April 2023 the Democrat-run state agency started moving the goalposts “Just as they are doing against President Trump Democrats are weaponizing the bureaucracy to grind a political ax against their opponents.” However, the Balanced Nutrition controversy was overshadowed by CNN’s explosive Sept. 19 report on comments Robinson allegedly wrote on the porn website Nude Africa between 2008 and 2012 CNN alleged Robinson called himself a “Black Nazi” and advocated for the return of slavery Robinson denied the claims in the CNN report, filed a lawsuit in October seeking at least $50

University won second and third place at the American Chemistry Society’s (ACS) inaugural ChemBiz pitch competition during its national conference in San Diego Competitors were asked to conceptualize a viable eczema treatment and develop a business strategy that could bring it to market.  A&T was the only historically Black university represented at the competition Dominique Davis and Evan McDowell placed third and represented the Joint School of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering Corbitt and Morgan have eczema. According to the National Eczema Association 36 million people in the United States have eczema a group of inflammatory conditions resulting in dry itchy skin including rashes and patches.  “We wanted to come up with a solution that used all-natural ingredients,” said Yeboah team leader with a background in material science engineering would be a 3-in-1 approach with a cleanser exfoliant and moisturizer that is tinted as well so people that have any scarring will have a cream that matches every shade of skin color because there are already creams on the market.” The NESODERM team wanted their product to lock in moisture and prevent dryness and itchiness the product would be UV and water resistant incorporation of ferulic acid– one of a plant’s powerful antioxidants– will reduce inflammation which is a major issue in eczema flare-ups while also providing UV absorbing properties The presence of the compound theobromine stimulates the production of collagen and elastin which helps with skin texture and firmness Carnauba wax– another plant-derived ingredient– because of its hydrophobic nature and high melting point will form a protective barrier on the skin locking in moisture and contributes to sun protection “I’ve had eczema since I was 2 or 3 on and off would cause breakouts on my hands,” said Corbitt “I have discoloration and scars from eczema so if NESODERM was on the market I would buy it right now.” People also can build up resistance to after consistent use require ongoing use and can cause liver damage.  The team also incorporated building a website to interact with those interested in the product.  and Omolola’s accomplishments,” said Zeihun Assefa professor and chair of the Department of Chemistry “The three competing scientists are strong researchers specializing in organic synthesis and their innovative ideas for conceptualizing a viable eczema treatment exemplify their outstanding training in cutting-edge research I am proud of the students and appreciate their research advisors for training them to be able to represent the College of Science and Technology at the national stage."   “Our goal with NanoGlo was to combine the current treatments that are out there and minimize those side effects — so either you use a topical cream to get the moisture or use the steroid cream to stop the itching,” said Morgan JSNN team leader who has interest in cosmetic chemistry “Our solution is a hydrogel with hydrocortisone nanoparticles embedded into it The hydrogel is for the moisture and retaining water to mimic the skin barrier and the hydrocortisone is usually used to stop the inflammation.” The NanoGlo patch would be a pH-sensitive mechanism because the inflammation causes the pH of the skin to be higher which is helpful because it would trigger the hydrogel to release the hydrocortisone to a targeted area The NanoGlo team interviewed a local dermatologist to get their expert opinion about eczema treatments Members from both teams contributed insights from their various scientific backgrounds while this was the first opportunity for others.  “This was my first time both attending a large conference and pitching — and this is coming from someone who was a painfully shy child who used to be terrified just to order Starbucks,” said Morgan “Some of family got to see our team pitch It was a lot of fun doing something new with my friends and the other teams’ approaches were all so different.” JSNN professor Michael Curry, Ph.D., is the inaugural faculty fellow for A&T’s Center of Excellence in Entrepreneurship and Innovation (CEE&I), a recipient of  the ACS Stanley C. Israel Regional Award and has successfully led a spinoff company He attended the ACS conference and praised the A&T teams’ innovative solutions.  “ACS has over 150,000 members who attend these national conferences,” said Curry “To accomplish these wins on a national stage and thinking of science from a business perspective to provide a solution to a health challenge locally or globally is critical to the training of next generation scientists.” "I am proud of our nanoengineering student team who showcased their scientific innovation and entrepreneurial vision at the ACS ChemBiz competition Michael Curry's outstanding leadership that continues to create valuable opportunities for our students to shine on the national stage," said Emanuel Waddell “The outstanding performance of our teams at the inaugural ACS ChemBiz pitch competition is a testament to the ingenuity and collaborative spirit that define North Carolina A&T’s approach to entrepreneurship and innovation," said Sean Johnson "Competing on a national stage against top institutions our students not only showcased their scientific expertise but also demonstrated a keen understanding of how to translate research into real-world solutions for pressing health challenges Their success highlights the importance of empowering diverse voices in STEM and affirms our commitment to developing the next generation of entrepreneurial leaders.” Media Contact Information: jicrockett@ncat.edu Two teams representing North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University won second and third place at the American

the money as compensation resulting from a federal law that allowed rail company Norfolk Southern to sell unused rail right-of-way to the city of Greensboro for the development of recreational trails Greensboro entered into the agreement to purchase the right-of-way in 2019 The arrangement involved a process called railbanking which allows the land to be used for trails with the understanding that it may revert to rail use at a later date the city is responsible for maintaining and incurring any costs associated with that right-of-way The move affected 13 Kotis-owned properties most of which are on or near Battleground Avenue In a statement released through his attorney Kotis said that the railbanking process imposed significant restrictions on key properties Kotis said he would not be
