Jack White.

Former White Stripes singer Jack White has provided an answer in court to his former wife Karen Elson, who had a restraining order issued against him last week and has petitioned that he submit to a psychiatric exam.

Rolling Stone obtained court documents from Davidson County Circuit Court in Nashville in which White objects to being characterized as an unfit father to their two children. In the countermotion, his lawyer Cathy Speers Johnson writes, "The reason for filing this response is that Mr. White does not want to be portrayed as something he is not, violent toward his wife and children."

The note also refers to emails the pair sent one another, including one dated May 19, 2013, where she calls him an "amazing father." The motion for a psychiatric exam is described as "inflammatory . . . . disingenuous, fraudulent and retaliatory and simply designed to malign him in the public record or to gain an upper hand in this litigation."

He said he did not oppose the restraining order, but objected to limited communication with his children.

White noted that Elson left the children in his care after signing the restraining order affidavit and then went on a "work/pleasure trip" in New York. "One who was truly fearful of another would not leave their children alone with that person for 10 days," the response noted. "The truth of the matter is that Ms. Elson is not fearful for herself or the parties' minor children."

In Elson's filing, she had referred to a musician White had particular enmity toward ? going so far as to wanting to have his child removed from a class where that musician's child was also taking part ? and White's countermotion revealed that the singer in question was The Black Keys' Dan Auerbach.?

In one email, writes?The Hollywood Reporter, White called Aeurbach a "derogatory name" and said he didn't want to spend the next 12 years of their children's schooling "with people trying to lump us together."

White's spokesperson told THR that he would only comment in court filings on the case, and Auerbach's spokesperson said he had no comment. Auerbach?is also going through a divorce, as announced in February.

Happy Birthday, Mr. President: Obama turns 52

Manuel Balce Ceneta / AP

President Barack Obama leaves Andrews Air Force Base, Md., for a weekend in Camp David, Md., Saturday, Aug. 3. The President turns 52 Sunday and will be spending his birthday at Camp David.

By Darlene Superville, The Associated Press

WASHINGTON ? Instead of "Hail to the Chief," President Barack Obama is most likely hearing strains of "Happy Birthday" this weekend.

Obama turns 52 on Sunday and is spending part of the day at the Camp David presidential retreat in Maryland.

The White House said little about how he's celebrating. He played golf Saturday with friends from his days in Hawaii and Chicago. Some of them joined him at Camp David.

Obama is scheduled to return to the White House on Sunday afternoon. His week ahead includes travel to the West Coast to discuss plans to help homeowners, appear on "The Tonight Show" with Jay Leno and visit with troops at Camp Pendleton.

He also has a White House meeting Thursday with the prime minister of Greece.

Harford Community College Holds Rape Aggression Defense ...

From Harford Community College:

Women between the ages of 15 to 59 gathered recently at Harford Community College to learn how to protect themselves from physical attack, abduction, and rape. Instructor Mary Eilerman, Harford Community College?s Chief of Public Safety, was joined by colleague Brian Hammond in the instruction of Rape Aggression Defense (RAD). The program was founded in 1989 by a police officer who recognized the need for women to better protect themselves from becoming victims of sexual assault. Since then, RAD has evolved into the largest women?s organized self defense training in the world.

The 12-hour course meets six times over three weeks and is designed to build confidence, awareness, and a deeper understanding of a woman?s full potential. Instructor Mary Eilerman remarked, ?I?m excited to watch the transformation of women from their sense of helplessness to women who are aware, confident, capable, and know how to prevent a sexual assault, and how to defend themselves in the event of an attack.?

Co-instructor Brian Hammond echoed her enthusiasm: ?For a lot of these women, this is the first time they have seen how much power and force they can generate ? they are truly unlocking their full potential. They realize that when they leave this class, they will have the tools necessary to carry themselves with confidence.?

Among the class members were four sets of mother-daughter teams. Two mothers were eager to publicize their remarks about the Rape Aggression Defense training.

Carmen Gonzales, a mother of two teenage daughters, said, ?When I saw that this was being offered, I immediately signed all three of us up! My main reason for taking Rape Aggression Defense is that my oldest daughter is going off to college in the fall. With her safety as a concern, this couldn?t have been better timing! I?m glad there is a nice variety of ages taking the RAD class since any female at any age can be a target. All three of us are glad we are learning self-defense techniques which could help save our lives and hope many other ladies will take advantage of this when it?s offered again.?

One student, who asked for her identity to be withheld, stated, ?Since my daughter will be heading off to college and will be on her own, I wanted her to complete a class in self defense. I signed my daughter and myself up for the RAD class at HCC. Learning the moves has given us both more confidence. Learning to be more aware of our surroundings and what to do in situations that could become dangerous should lessen our chances of being attacked. College social situations were discussed; what could go wrong in that environment and ways to avoid or respond to dangerous situations. The class has given me peace of mind as I know my daughter has learned many techniques to avoid an attack or protect her during an attack. I highly recommend RAD training for all women. The program is six classes, two hours each, and the cost is very reasonable. RAD was the perfect choice for us.?

Twitter UK promises more protection from online threats, showing Facebook how it's done

Take note, Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg:?the head of Twitter UK publicly apologized on Saturday to a group of women who have been the target of death and rape threats from twitter users, and announced it would make it easier for users to report abusive tweets.

?I personally apologise to the women who have experienced abuse on Twitter and for what they have gone through,? Twitter UK general manager Tony Wang said in a tweet. The company came under fire after critics said its initial response to the threats wasn't enough.?

?The abuse they?ve received is simply not acceptable. It?s not acceptable in the real world, and it?s not acceptable on Twitter,? he said.

Over the past few hours, Wang has sent out a flurry of tweets thanking people for their feedback and sending updates about new policy changes that will make it easier for people to respond to online threats.?

Twitter updated its rules and confirmed it would introduce a "report abuse" button on all platforms, including desktops.

UK police are currently investigating eight allegations of abuse including bomb and rape threats made against women.

To date, two people have been arrested for making rape threats against British MP Stella Creasy and feminist campaigner Caroline Criado-Perez, who received the threats after a campaign to have Jane Austen put on the new ?10 banknote.

Female journalists were targeted as well:The?Guardian's?Hadley Freeman,?Time?magazine's Catherine Mayer and?the?Independent's Grace Dent all allegedly received bomb threats on Wednesday.

Mayor, who had sent in a complaint to Wang on Wednesday, bristled at the fact that she hadn't received a personal apology, saying she was?"deeply amused" by Wang's tweets. Some suggest Twitter should have taken action much sooner, and not only after some high-profile women spoke out against threats.?

But Twitter UK's apology presents a contrast from Facebook's sluggish response to reported death and rape threats, as well as racist, misogynistic and homophobic pages.

In the case of Port Coquitlam teen Amanda Todd, who committed suicide at age 15, after a sexual predator created a Facebook page featuring a topless photo of Todd which he obtained when she was 13. Threats to Todd through Facebook messages continued over two years, and?Facebook pages bullying Todd continue to exist?nine months after her death, despite numerous activists groups urging their removal.

Parents of both Todd and?Rehtaeh Parsons -- a 17-year-old Nova Scotia teen who committed suicide after harassment on social media after photos from her alleged gang rape were distributed -- ?have dismissed Facebook's recent policy changes, which allow "controversial" pages bullying the deceased to remain online.?

Published: 2:00 AM - 08/02/13

INDIANAPOLIS ? The NCAA announced changes Thursday to the way it will select teams for the men's basketball tournament, adding flexibility in hopes of keeping teams properly seeded.

The selection committee voted last week to change the bracketing principles in hopes of keeping teams where they naturally belong, Chairman Ron Wellman told reporters. In previous years, the committee has had to move a team up or down one or two lines to accommodate rules such as when conference teams can meet in the tourney.

Previously, conference teams couldn't meet until the regional final ? unless a conference had nine teams in the field.

The move comes in the wake of realignment that has seen league numbers swell over the past few seasons and has made the old rules difficult to navigate. The Big East, for instance, had 11 teams make the tournament in 2011 and 2012, and with more league expansion, conflicts seemed more likely to pop up.

The changes will not affect which teams get into the tourney. But they will allow conference teams that have played only once during the season ? including league tournaments ? to meet as early as the third round. Teams that have played twice will not face one another until the regional semifinals and teams that have played three times cannot meet until the regional championship.

Most of the conflicts didn't show up until the Sunday of selection weekend, when the bracketing debate is going full bore.

"It was a real struggle because we feel the seed lines are really important to the competitiveness of the tournament. The committee spends hours scrubbing the seeds," Wellman said. "We compare No. 1 to No. 2, No. 2 to No. 3, so on right through No. 68. At the end of the day, we feel that the seeds are in proper order. ... Then we go to bracketing, and oftentimes we move a team either within the line or we have moved a team two lines a couple of years ago, and a number of teams one line. So there was great discomfort with that."

During the call, NCAA spokesman David Worlock noted that in recent years, two teams were dropped two lines ? Marquette in 2007 and Brigham Young in 2012. Wellman also said there was a long debate in the selection room last year regarding Oregon, which wound up with a No. 12 seed and played in one of the First Four games at Dayton, Ohio.

The concern is that by moving teams from line to line across the field, it impacts the entire 68-team tournament.

"The debate was considerable as to what we should do and what was best for not only Oregon but the tournament," Wellman said. "When you move a team off of its seed line, you're not only affecting that team, but you are affecting the team that it plays and the teams that it might eventually play. So it has a tremendous impact."

To see how the new guidelines would work, NCAA staffers looked at the last three tourneys and found 90 percent of the moves were eliminated.

The biggest fans of the change might be coaches, who expressed their concerns this summer in a meeting between Wellman and representatives of the National Association of Basketball Coaches.

What else will be different?

Top teams from the same conference could find themselves playing in the same region sooner than in the past.

Under the old rules, the committee was barred from placing more than two teams from one conference into the same region unless that league had at least nine teams in the field, and the top three teams from a conference had to go into different regions. Now, committee members will get more flexibility. The top four teams from each conference will be separated by region only if they appear among the top 16 overall seeds, the top four in each region.

Committee members also voted to try and avoid non-conference rematches during the First Four and the second round, and agreed to relax the rules if two or more teams from the same conference are among the last four at-large bids. Those last four would meet in the First Four.

Mano a mano over Dell: Icahn vows to fight on

Staff reports CNBC.com

Dell CEO and founder Michael Dell at a meeting of the Confederation of Indian Industries in Bangalore, January 9, 2012. Voting on a proposal to take computer-maker Dell private was delayed on Friday after Dell agreed to raise the offering price and change the vote-counting system.

The battle for Dell is far from over. Billionaire activist Carl Icahn vowed on Friday to keep fighting for control of the computer maker.

The latest skirmish came after the company said Dell's special committee had reached agreement with the buyout group led by CEO Michael Dell to purchase the company for $13.75 per share. The deal values the company at about $25 billion.

The Round Rock, Texas, company said a group led by its founder and the investment firm Silver Lake Partners will tack a one-time shareholder payout of 13 cents per share to an offer they made last week to buy the company for $13.75 per share. Michael Dell is funding the 13 cents a share special dividend personally.

The company, which has been locked in a public brawl with Icahn, has indicated it is changing its voting standard for a new, higher offer. Toward that end, Dell dramatically reduced the amount it would cost to break up the deal, to $180 million from $450 million. That may open the door for an eventual agreement with the activist Icahn, who has agitated for months to buy the struggling computer giant.

Icahn responded to the new deal via Twitter stating, "We are pleased to have won another battle in the Dell war but the war itself is far from over. More to follow."

On Thursday, Icahn filed a lawsuit to prevent Dell from setting a new record date, the latest in a series of efforts to derail the deal. According to the company, the terms of Dell's buyout agreement include moving the record date to mid-August.

Icahn isn't the only investor against the deal.

Shareholder Stephen Yacktman, in a statement, said, "The company, increases in value every month. There is no increase in valuation being paid. Shareholders are just getting paid with their own money."

He added: "If the special committee was truly concerned about the shareholders, they would let the shareholders vote on Icahn's proposal and board. What kind of board makes shareholders sue to get to be able to exercise their legal right to vote? By law, the shareholder meeting needs to beheld by mid-August."

In afternoon trading on the Nasdaq, Dell's shares rose more than 5 percent to $13.66. (For the latest stock price, click here.)

Shareholders were scheduled to vote this morning on a lower offer to buy the company for $13.65 per share. That vote has been postponed. Shareholders who own the stock as of Aug. 13 will be eligible to vote at a Sept. 12 special meeting on the new deal. The company will hold its annual meeting on Oct. 17.

Dell's founder and private equity firm Silver Lake want to take the company private, arguing that a painful restructuring can best be best performed away from stock market scrutiny.

But the battle over that deal has raged for months, adding further uncertainty about a company already shrinking along with a rapidly declining PC market.

CLEVELAND (AP) ? Three months after an Ohio woman kicked out part of a door to end nearly a decade of captivity, a onetime school bus driver faces sentencing for kidnapping three women and subjecting them to years of sexual and physical abuse.

Prosecutors are expected to detail Ariel Castro's daily assaults on the women, recounted in diaries that compared the women's experience to that of prisoners of war. With the possibility of the death penalty for a forced miscarriage taken off the table, Castro stands to get life in prison plus 1,000 years on Thursday.

Cuyahoga County prosecutor Tim McGinty said in a sentencing memorandum filed Wednesday that Castro, who chained his captives and fed them only one meal a day, "admits his disgusting and inhuman conduct" but "remains remorseless for his actions."

The memorandum says many of the specific charges in Castro's indictment reflect conduct documented by one of the women in her diary.

"The entries speak of forced sexual conduct, of being locked in a dark room, of anticipating the next session of abuse, of the dreams of someday escaping and being reunited with family, of being chained to a wall, of being held like a prisoner of war ... of being treated like an animal," it says.

The sentencing could take up to four hours, court officials said, with Castro, his attorneys, his victims and prosecutors getting a chance to speak. The legal team representing the women's interests declined to comment in advance on whether they would testify or send statements to the court.

In the court filing, McGinty offered new details of Castro's treatment of the women, who he said were kept "in a state of powerlessness" through physical, sexual and psychological violence.

"He made them believe that their physical survival depended on him, and he threatened to end their lives if they did not comply with his every demand," McGinty said.

Castro lured one of the women into his Cleveland home with the promise of a puppy for her son and tricked another by saying she could see his daughter, McGinty said.

He chained his captives by their ankles, fed them only one meal a day and provided plastic toilets in their bedrooms that were infrequently emptied, the filing said.

He menaced them with a gun, threatened them with tales of other captives, some of whom hadn't made it home, and at one point locked all of them in a vehicle in his garage for three days while he had a visitor.

Castro claimed he didn't have an exit strategy from his complicated double life and finally gave the women a chance to escape by leaving a door unlocked, the court filing said.

The women, each kidnapped separately when they accepted a ride from Castro on Cleveland's blue-collar west side, quickly escaped after Amanda Berry kicked out the door panel on May 6 and Castro was arrested within hours. The women disappeared separately between 2002 and 2004, when they were 14, 16 and 20 years old.

There was no comment from Castro's defense team on the eve of sentencing.

Other horrific details of the women's ordeal had already emerged, including tales of being chained to poles in the basement or a bedroom heater or inside a van, with one woman forced to wear a motorcycle helmet while chained in the basement and, after she tried to escape, having a vacuum cord wrapped around her neck.

Castro repeatedly starved and beat one of the victims each time she was pregnant, forcing her to miscarry five times.

He forced the same woman on threat of death to safely deliver the child he fathered with another victim on Christmas Day 2006. The same day, prosecutors say, Castro raped the woman who helped deliver his daughter.

Prosecutors will ask the judge to prohibit Castro from ever seeing his daughter, now 6.

McGinty says experts will also discuss how Castro was able to keep the women captive for so long.

Berry, 27, made a surprise onstage appearance at a rap concert last weekend, and a second victim, Gina DeJesus, 23, made a few televised comments as a privacy fence was being erected around her house. The third victim, Michelle Knight, 32, appeared with Berry and DeJesus in a video in early July thanking the community for its support.

Obama meeting with lawmakers on NSA surveillance

WASHINGTON (AP) ? President Barack Obama is meeting with lawmakers to discuss surveillance programs run by the National Security Agency.

The private Oval Office meeting is to discuss concerns about privacy.

Obama's national security team is trying to keep its surveillance powers intact while acknowledging some limitations appear inevitable. The White House says Obama wants to hear from Congress directly, including from critics.

The bipartisan meeting comes after Russian authorities granted temporary asylum to NSA leaker Edward Snowden.

The chairmen and ranking minority members of the House and Senate intelligence committees were also attending. They issued a joint statement saying they've reviewed the programs in question and believe they are legal and contribute substantially to counterterrorism. They say their committees are developing ideas to reassure Americans and improve transparency and privacy protections.

Kodak outlines plans for CEO's departure

ROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP) ? Kodak is providing a clearer picture of its post-reorganization management plans, saying that CEO Antonio Perez will likely be replaced in the first year after it emerges from bankruptcy protection.

The photography pioneer, which was founded in 1880, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in early 2012. Since then, the Rochester, N.Y., company has sold off several businesses and said it would shut others so it can concentrate on commercial and packaging printing.

Eastman Kodak Co. said in a filing late Tuesday that Perez will stay on as CEO for up to a year or until a successor is named, whichever is first. It said he will help with the CEO selection and transition processes

Once a successor is named, he will resign and remain as an adviser until the anniversary of Kodak's exit from bankruptcy. He will serve as a consultant for up to another two years.

Kodak also announced that Jim Mesterharm will remain as chief restructuring officer and Becky Roof will continue as interim chief financial officer under a deal with AlixPartners, its restructuring advisory firm. The length of Kodak's agreement with AlixPartners will be determined by Kodak's post-bankruptcy board.

A confirmation hearing on Kodak's reorganization plan is currently expected to be held on Aug. 20.

Last month Kodak said that it had secured as much as $895 million to fund its operations after it exits bankruptcy protection, which the company anticipates will happen by the end of September.

From the architect. The new School of Education and Psychology Building is a three-story, 48,000 Sq. Ft. classroom and faculty office building at Elizabeth City State University. Located adjacent to the new campus entrance, the building will function as a gateway to the campus.

? Mark Herboth

The building program consists of two primary components: teaching environments including a lecture hall and other classrooms and labs, and an administrative/faculty component that includes offices for both the Education and Psychology Departments. The faculty offices will be supported by a departmental reception, faculty lounges, conference rooms and storage/work rooms. The Dean?s suite will have an independent conference room, reception and support spaces. The facility will also include a curriculum resource center and library and a central lobby with meeting and study spaces for students. Audio Visual systems will accommodate distance learning, video conferencing and cutting edge education methodologies.

? Mark Herboth

Architecturally, the building is conceived as a simple rectangular volume from which public spaces have been ?carved?. This subtractive process allows the single building, isolated on campus from other buildings, to provide many essential components of a collegiate environment. Within solids of the volume are located an office wing to the west, a classroom and lab wing to the east, and a utility support core to the south. The voids between and below these spaces form an intimate academic plaza enclosed on three sides and flanked by an entrance colonnade leading to the main lobby. Additional carvings produce an entry porch from the east parking area to the same central lobby.

? Mark Herboth

When complete, the facility will serve as both an independent facility for ECSU and as a center for education and outreach to the greater community. A significant goal for the new facility is to create a center that fosters collaboration and interaction between the different departments as well as between faculty and students. Non-traditional, evening classes and community outreach programs will be important components of the curriculum.

? Mark Herboth

The project will be one of North Carolina?s most energy efficient public buildings and a model for energy and water conservation. Utilizing geo-thermal wells, an enthalpy wheel, high performance glazing and other advanced building systems, the design will exceed ASHRAE standards by forty-seven percent.

SFO to receive funding for Barclays probe - FT

(Reuters) - Britain's Serious Fraud Office (SFO) is expected to receive about 2 million pounds from the UK Treasury to support its criminal probe into the dealings between Barclays Plc and Qatar Holding, the Financial Times reported on Sunday.

Barclays is being investigated by the SFO and Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) for an allegation that the bank lent Qatar Holding, a part of the Qatar Investment Authority, money to invest in it as part of a rescue fundraising at the height of the 2008 financial crisis.

UK rules forbid a public company from giving financial assistance in order to acquire its shares or those of a parent company.

The bank has been deeply investigated by the FCA, which is now taking a back seat with the SFO probing into other parts of the fundraising, the FT said, citing people familiar with the matter.

A treasury spokesperson and the SFO declined to comment on the matter, while Barclays was not available for comments outside regular business hours.

David Green, the head of the SFO, has said he expects to secure extra funding from the government for some complex investigations, partly because the agency's annual budget has been slashed to around 30 million pounds - a fraction of the budget of some regional police forces.

Green, who has said he hopes for progress in the Barclays investigation by year end, is already receiving more than 3 million pounds per year in extra government funding the help with the largest and most complex inquiry on his books - the investigation into Libor rate rigging.

Some lawyers have argued that this so-called 'surge' or 'blockbuster' funding for specific investigations risks undermining the independence of the SFO, which is battling to restore faith in its crime-busting abilities.

Barclays, which publishes financial results on Tuesday, is expected to set out plans either to sell bonds that are wiped out if it hits trouble or to raise equity to meet tougher UK rules on capital.

Hyundai Motor second-quarter net profit beats forecast fuelled by China sales

SEOUL | Thu Jul 25, 2013 7:08am BST

SEOUL (Reuters) - Hyundai Motor Co's (005380.KS) second-quarter net profit stayed near a record high achieved a year earlier, beating market forecasts, as strong China growth overpowered rising competition and tight supply that eroded vehicle sales in the United States and South Korea.

Hyundai Motor, which combined with its affiliate Kia Motors Corp (000270.KS) is the world's fifth-biggest automaker, on Thursday reported a 2.52 trillion Korean won (1.47 billion pounds) net profit for April to June, compared with a consensus forecast of 2.39 trillion won from a Reuters' poll of analysts.

This compared with 2.55 trillion won in net profit a year earlier and 2.09 trillion won the preceding quarter.

The South Korean automaker posted an operating profit of 2.41 trillion won on sales of 23.18 trillion won in the second quarter.

Hyundai Motor's labour union refused to work during weekends from March 9 to June 1, hurting both domestic shipments and exports to the United States and other markets from its biggest manufacturing base. Hyundai has struggled to defend market share in Korea and United States amid intensifying competition and the ageing of its models such as Sonata and Elantra.

China is one of Hyundai's few bright spots. Last year, Hyundai started production at its third plant and launched a Chinese version of its Elantra compact, as Japanese rivals reeled from a sales decline stemming from a territorial row.

Jaclyn Vargo: 4 Steps for Families to Avoid Debt and Increase Savings

Avoiding debt gives each dollar someone earns more power. Here are four steps to ensure that one is earning interest instead of paying it.

1. Analyze the household's financial situation and identify strengths, weaknesses and threats.

The adults in the house should sit down together and review the transactions on all household expenses for the duration of one month to determine money management patterns. Are there any categories where someone is spending more than they thought, and does everyone's spending habits match the future they desire? Is there a family member who has been hiding purchases? They should honestly discuss the family's goals and minimize the bad habits that undercut their likelihood of success.

2. Take control by creating a budget.

Armed with the details about the household's money management patterns, nominate the most mathematically-inclined person to construct a realistic budget that includes all expenses. She should put pen to paper and create a detailed spending plan that allows family members to make honest and educated decisions based on how much income the family has at their disposal and where they want that money to go.

If the family does not already have emergency savings, she determines the amount to set aside monthly. The size of this contingency fund should be at least three months' salary, but some may need to increase this amount depending on the industry that provides their income and the stability of the job market. How long would it take the home's wage earner to find employment in the current market? The answer to that question, along with their risk tolerance, should determine the emergency fund that is right for that household.

3. Consider expenses that may exceed income.

Undoubtedly, one will have to manage occasional expenses that are large enough to throw off their monthly budget plan. Things in this category include an anniversary trip, car repairs or making the holiday season bright. To accommodate these items, calculate what they will cost and distribute the cost over 12 months. Establish a "slush fund" line in the monthly budget and save for these predictable occurrences before they occur so that no more drastic adjustments need to be made down the line.

4. Be accountable, yet flexible.

It takes 90 days to form a habit, and the household needs to commit to following through with the plan. Know what each member needs to stay motivated, and recruit support to ensure that she cements this fiscally responsible way of life. Whether she buddies up with a friend or hires a personal budget coach, everyone's plan must include an accountability commitment to succeed in avoiding debt and building savings. An outside expert brings in new perspectives and pushes family members to do their best.

A cash flow plan needs to adapt with life's events. Revisit the family's cash flow plan at least once a year to ensure that it still aligns with everyone's goals. Households should not operate out of vagueness; following these steps creates a future where every family can enjoy a cash-only, debt-free lifestyle.

ACC's Swofford sees significant changes coming to NCAA

Atlantic Coast Conference commissioner John Swofford(Photo: Jeremy Brevard, USA TODAY Sports)

Story Highlights

• The ACC commissioner prefers a super division over an outright split from the NCAA
• Swofford is encouraged by the examination of NCAA governance structure that is underway

SHARECONNECTEMAILMORE

GREENSBORO, N.C. ? Atlantic Coast Conference commissioner John Swofford said Monday the next six months are "very important" to the future of the NCAA and predicted that significant structural and governance changes could be implemented at the governing body's annual convention in January.

Among the changes up for discussion would be the formation of a so-called "super division" that would allow athletic departments with high-revenue football programs to make some of their own rules and implement things like athlete stipends. Many of those initiatives have been blocked by lower-revenue programs, which make up the majority of the NCAA.

RELATED: SEC's Slive targets NCAA with subtlety

Swofford told USA TODAY Sports the super division concept would be preferable to a breakaway from the NCAA, something Southeastern Conference commissioner Mike Slive implied last week if power conferences didn't get more freedom to govern themselves.

"That's a potential way of making a change that would basically retain the fundamental NCAA oversight and umbrella, if you will," Swofford said. "If the five conferences were to break off, I mean, that's a complicated move. You'd have to, in essence, duplicate the NCAA in some form or fashion, and then what does that mean for intercollegiate athletics? So if you've got another division, if that's the answer within the NCAA, you can maneuver and find an appropriate way, I think, to address those kinds of issues."

Aside from the raft of external legal challenges facing the NCAA, the past few years have been characterized by just as many internal issues, including problems in enforcement and increased criticism of the governance structure. Once merely cocktail party talk, the idea that conferences could leave the NCAA and form a new association is now discussed about openly in college athletics, albeit just in theory ? for now.

In addition to an internal review of the enforcement department, which has been ensnared in controversy over misconduct in the University of Miami investigation, there is a growing sense that other initiatives such as recruiting deregulation have taken place without enough input from athletic directors. The NCAA has hired a consultant to examine its governance structure, which places nearly all of its power in the hands of a Board of Directors made up of college presidents. Meanwhile, NCAA president Mark Emmert acknowledged last month the formation of an athletic directors' council to meet with him regularly and provide input.

Swofford said that although he believes in the concept of presidential control, he is encouraged by "substantive discussions" pointing to governance changes that could be enacted as soon as next year.

"I do think we've missed the boat in this new structure in terms of keeping people who really know college athletics and deal with it every day and know its nuances," he said. "The current structure just doesn't engage those people to the degree that I think they need to be engaged.

"I hope that can be addressed within the NCAA, and I hope that adjustments can be made in the legislative process in the NCAA that engages more people than the current approach does. I think that's critical to the future of the body."

PREVIOUSLY: Is next realignment an NCAA split?

Meanwhile, Swofford's comments indicate that the idea of a super division is gaining traction as schools try to figure out how to satisfy the diverse membership of the NCAA. Last week, Slive appeared frustrated at the lack of movement on a so-called "full cost of attendance" scholarship ? essentially, a stipend ? and said major conferences need an avenue to meet the needs of their athletes.

Emmert proposed such a stipend in 2011, only to see it meet defeat in the larger legislative body. Allowing high-revenue football programs to pass those kinds of rules without resistance from programs in the non-BCS leagues and the Football Championship Subdivision, many of which claim they can't afford those types of expenses.

"That's a struggle when you're trying to get everybody on the same page with the various legislative proposals and a future direction or change of direction," Swofford said. "We'll just have to see how all that plays out."

Asked whether the NCAA understands the landscape has to change, Swofford said: "I think that message has gotten through."

Norway honors victims of 2011 terror attacks

OSLO, Norway (AP) ? Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg on Monday marked the second anniversary of the terror acts that killed 77 people by calling for a continued fight against all forms of extremism.

In a wreath-laying ceremony at the government headquarters, Stoltenberg said society has to stand up against "populist right-wing parties" that are on the rise in Europe, and extremist Islamists who continue to send out threats.

"No extremist shall scare us from moving freely, thinking freely or speaking freely," Stoltenberg said. "Our values are our strongest weapon and our strongest protection against violence and terror."

Far-right fanatic Anders Behring Breivik has confessed to the July 22, 2011, attacks in which he killed eight people in a bombing at the government headquarters and 69 others in a shooting spree at the left-wing Labor Party's youth camp on Utoya island.

In 2012, he received a 21-year prison sentence that can be extended for as long as he's considered dangerous to society. Legal experts say that likely means he will be locked up for life.

Later Monday, an emotional ceremony was held on the shores opposite Utoya island.

"Today our thoughts are especially with all parents, siblings, partners and families who lost what was dearest to them," said Eskil Pedersen, the head of the Labor Party's youth chapter and a survivor of the massacre.

He said many survivors and relatives are still struggling with their daily lives.

"There are still many who are burdened with grief, who struggle to concentrate in school or at work, who see that Norway has moved on, but who don't feel they have the power to do the same," he said. "My hope is that this community has room for everyone who was marked for life on July 22. Let us be there for each other, even if July 22 is no longer talked about on a daily basis."

S. Florida fortune teller charged with grand theft, extortion of property

POMPANO BEACH?

A South Florida fortune teller was arrested Saturday in Pompano Beach on an out-of-state felony warrant for allegedly defrauding a California woman.

Peaches Miller, also known as Shanna Young, 33, was arrested by the Broward Sheriff's Office and charged with grand theft and extortion of property.

The Broward Sheriff's Office declined to comment on the arrest of Miller, who was held without bond in the Paul Rein Detention Facility, Sunday evening.

Bob Nygaard, a Boca Raton-based private investigator hired by Miller's client, said in an email that Miller conned a California woman into believing that the victim and her family were being plagued by evil spirits as a result of black magic and voodoo and that people wanted to kill the victim.

As a result, the victim was conned into giving Miller large sums of money to buy gold and silver materials such as mirrors and tabernacles to counteract the evil, said Nygaard. According to the private investigator, Miller defrauded the woman of more than $838,000 over the course of approximately nine years.

Miller advertised herself as a psychic and spiritual healer, said Nygaard.

" 'Peaches T. Miller' claimed to be doing 'God's Work' and she conned the victim into believing that she was the only one who could protect the victim and her family from harm," said Nygaard.

He also said that Miller assured the victim many times that all of her money would be returned but that "Miller never kept her promise."

Nygaard said the case is being investigated by the Santa Clara District Attorney's Office in California.

According to Nygaard, Miller is known to operate her alleged fortune telling business in Florida, California and New York.

It's unclear where Miller's business is located.

Florida Linebacker Antonio Morrison Arrested For Barking At Police Dog

It was a Gator vs. a ?Bear.?

University of Florida middle linebacker Antonio Morrison was taken into custody early this morning for allegedly barking at a police dog and resisting arrest.

Under Florida law, harassing a police dog is a second degree misdemeanor. Morrison a sophomore, is already on deferred prosecution (a form of pre-trial probation) in connection with a June 16 arrest when he allegedly punched a nightclub bouncer.

Morrison was booked and then released this morning from Alachua County Jail.

The Gators have announced that Morrison has been bounced from the team for the first two games of the season.

According to the Orlando Sentinel, Morrison claimed the police K9 started it: ?According to the police report, Morrison was a bystander when Gainesville Police responded to a disturbance near an after-hours club where several arrests had been made in the past. Per the report, Officer William A. Arnold had a police canine named ?Bear? in the car, and Morrison walked up to the vehicle and began to bark at the dog. Officer Arnold stated Morrison?s actions prevented police from doing their job properly, so Arnold asked Morrison to step to the front of the vehicle. Morrison resisted when the officer tried to handcuff him, the report states. Morrison, 19, told the officer the dog had barked several times at him first.?

This latest arrest could imperil the deferred legal action on the June 16 incident, a charge that would have been dropped if he had stayed out of trouble and completed community service and other court-imposed requirements.

In a statement, Florida football coach Will Muschamp said ?I?m extremely disappointed in Antonio Morrison?s decision making.He has been suspended from the team and will miss at least two games to begin the season.?

Morrison had 34 tackles last season, the most for a Gators? freshman. He was named to the SEC All-Freshmen team.
