GREENSBORO – North Carolina A&T has hit a rough patch recently in Coastal Athletic Association (CAA) baseball play
The Aggies will now need a strong finish to secure a berth in the 2025 CAA Baseball Championship Tournament after losing its seventh CAA game in the last eight contests with a 6-1 loss to the Campbell Fighting Camels Sunday at War Memorial Stadium
A&T dropped to 15-31 overall and 9-12 in the CAA despite a gallant pitching effort from right-handed reliever Jacob Halford (L
three at home against the College of Charleston and three on the road against the top team in the league
the Camels took two out of three from the Aggies partly because they hit nine home runs over the weekend
including three on Sunday to improve to 20-26 overall and 11-10 in league play
keeping them in fifth place in the standings
earn a berth in the conference tournament scheduled for May 21-24 at Charleston's Patriot Point ballpark
Going into the series, the Aggies did not know who they wanted to start Game 3. 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 Barrett replaced him
Barrett gave up a single but ended the frame on a strikeout
Campbell added two more runs in the ninth on a two-run homer from Dalen Thompson
the Aggies stranded two runners in the eighth and two more in the ninth
The Aggies will open their series against Charleston on Friday

Chrissy 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.”

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 million in damages and a retraction from CNN, only to drop the lawsuit in January

2025) – Two teams representing North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State 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.”

The railway right-of-way running behind 1310 Westover Terrace was sold to the city of Greensboro in 2019 under a law that allows for unused rail easements to be used for trail development
a judge awarded property owner and developer $42.6 million plus interesting for the take of the property
A Greensboro developer has been awarded more than $42.6 million from the federal government following a yearslong dispute over a railroad easement
a federal judge awarded that amount plus interest to three companies owned by developer Marty Kotis
who has said the restricted use of his land has prompted him to cancel plans for a Publix grocery store
Kotis is receiving 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 able to move forward with plans to build a Publix Grocery Store at 1310 Westover Terrace and 1500 Mill Street or pursue redevelopment plans behind the Red Cinemas at 1305 Battleground Avenue
we’ll be refocusing our planned investments into other projects where public-private collaboration is supported and property rights are respected,” Kotis said via the statement
“We hope this outcome encourages more thoughtful approaches to future greenway development.”
He added: “I support public improvement projects — but everyone should have a seat at the table
and private property rights should be respected
I’m hopeful that some of the regulatory reforms now being discussed will help prevent situations like this from happening in the future.”
Kotis is far from the only property owner who has received payouts from the federal government as a result of railroad-to-trail conversions in Greensboro
said the firm had represented roughly 50 affected landowners in Greensboro

An error gave the Cougars another run in the fifth before the Aggies put together a massive rally in the home fifth
That was followed by a Moss single that moved Sims to third with no outs. A&T loaded the bases when Caldwell was hit by a Kendall Thackston (W, 5-3) pitch. However, bases loaded with no outs quickly turned into bases loaded with two outs after sophomore Trinity Glover fouled out and a strikeout by Avery Evans
The Aggies leaned on their senior to do the damage
Barkhimer laced a double to clear the bases before scoring on the same play thanks to an error to bring the Aggies to within one
where they extended their lead on a passed ball and an RBI from Leela Langston
Another Cannon two-run homer pushed Charleston's lead to 11-6
Glover singled for the Aggies in the seventh, but she advanced no farther than second base. Thackston pitched the first five innings for Charleston, posting eight strikeouts. Campbell Schaen (S,1) pitched the final two innings, giving up only the hit to Glover. Sophomore Aaliyah Williams pitched in all three games of the series
she recorded five strikeouts in two innings pitched

A slight downturn in third-quarter sales and restructuring charges contributed to a larger year-over-year loss for Unifi Inc
The Greensboro yarn manufacturer reported Wednesday a loss of $16.8 million
compared with a loss of $10.3 million a year ago
It had an adjusted loss of $13.9 million when excluding $2.9 million in “manufacturing footprint reduction costs.” Unifi estimates between $6 million and $8 million in additional restructuring expenses in its fourth quarter
The average forecast was a loss of 56 cents by one analyst surveyed by Zacks Investment Research
Analysts typically do not include one-time gains and charges
Third-quarter sales were down 1.6% to $146.5 million
Unifi has three primary markets in the Americas
Americas sales were up 2.6% to $93.5 million
while Brazil sales fell 4.9% to $28.1 million and Asian sales declined 12% to $24.9 million
“Our results for the third quarter were in line with our expectations
driven by an improved performance in our Americas segment due to the positive traction we have experienced with the growth of our business in Central America,” chief executive Eddie Ingle said in the news release
Repreve sales were $44.7 million during the quarter
is polyester yarn made from chips that come mainly from recycled bottles
Repreve-based yarns are used to make products for the apparel
Unifi chairman Al Carey said the manufacturer is “very close to booking sales in new categories” that include customers in home furnishings
“These sales will start to offset the low performance of apparel,” Carey said
“They’ll give us improved mix as the margins on these products are a good bit better than the base apparel that we have.”
Unifi’s “new profitability improvement plan,” unveiled on Jan
came with a major staff reduction that involves corporate and production jobs in the Triad
Unifi projects annual cost savings of $20 million from its manufacturing consolidation initiative
primarily comprised of lower headcount and operational synergies
Unifi said in WARN Act notices in February it would eliminate up to 250 job positions as part of closing its Madison manufacturing plant by early fall
Unifi is shifting production to its Yadkinville campus and to Central America facilities
Unifi currently has 550 employees in Rockingham County and 980 at its Yadkinville campus
Eaker has said the job cuts are “very central to the U.S
We certainly had some of those impacts to corporate duties
as well as some of our manufacturing facilities
Unifi is selling the Madison plant for $53.2 million in cash to Enovum Data Centers Corp. of Montreal
The sale is projected to be completed by May 15
Enovum could not be reached for comment on its planned purchase of the 947,000-square-foot plant at 805 Island Drive
The purchase agreement includes a condition requiring an energy study verifying the potential energy capacity of the property
Unifi said net proceeds from the sale would be used to repay a portion of the principal balance of term loans and revolving loans outstanding involving Wells Fargo & Co
Layoffs involving corporate and production jobs in the Triad date back to July 2022
A combined 200 jobs in Yadkinville and Reidsville were eliminated through attrition between July and December 2022
The reduction represented about 10% of Unifi’s domestic workforce at that time
Shareholders will not receive a direct monetary benefit
