Deacons handle Heels at Smith Center
BY Mike Ehrlich
Senior writer
In recent years of Tar Heel prosper-
ity, the Matt Doherty era has seemed
like a very distant memory.
But with Wednesday night’s 82-69
loss against Wake Forest, North Carolina
is faced with something that hasn’t been
seen since before Roy Williams took the
reins: a three-game losing streak.
With Ed Davis watching from the
sidelines, UNC (12-7) got buried by a
WFU barrage of second-half 3-pointers
for a second straight home loss.
“It’s frustrating,” Williams said.
“It’s something that we haven’t been
through, something that we’re not
enjoying going through.”
Especially damaging is the fact that
each of those three losses were to ACC
foes. UNC has now dug itself into a 1-3
conference record.
After playing a back-and-forth first
half, WFU shooters found their stroke
after the break. Thanks to 7-for-8 shoot-
ing from beyond the arc, the three-point
halftime margin quickly ballooned to a
double-digit UNC deficit.
The Demon Deacons (13-4, 3-2
ACC) shot 53.6 percent from long range
in what head coach Dino Gaudio joked
was the best in the history of Wake

Forest. C.J. Harris converted on four
of those treys to tie for a game-high 20
points.
“You don’t like teams to shoot open
shots on you,” Williams said. “And
I think back to those threes — they
didn’t make many tough threes. They
made wide open threes.”
Explosive WFU point guard Ishmael
Smith sliced through UNC’s perimeter
defense for 20 points of his own.
While the Demon Deacons were
finding nylon with frequency, the
home-court rims weren’t so kind to the
Tar Heels. Despite UNC only turning
the ball over nine times, poor shooting
kept its score under 70.
UNC finished the game shooting
36.6 percent from the field, including
just 6-for-26 from 3-point range.

Tar Heels feel Davis’ absence from the paint
BY David Reynolds
sports Editor
Forward Travis Wear didn’t play poorly
in his first start for No. 24 North Carolina.
The freshman scored a career-high 13
points on 6-for-11 shooting, snared six
rebounds and even managed to dish out
one assist.
But it was the zero in the block column of
his stat line where the player he replaced, Ed
Davis, was missed the most Wednesday.
“Everybody knows how good Ed is and
all the things he does for this team,” forward
Deon Thompson said. “It definitely doesn’t
help when you don’t have Ed out there.”
Without the 6-10 sophomore’s lengthy
arms to deter shorter players from driving
to the basket, 6-foot point guard Ishmael
Smith consistently found room to slash to
the basket on his way to scorching the Tar
Heels for 20 points.
And on a night in which Wake Forest
drilled nine of its 16 shots from the three-
point line in its 82-69 win against UNC,
only three of Smith’s points came from
behind the arc.
“I think Ed would have disrupted some
of Ishmael’s shots when they went through
the lane,” Wear said. “He would have given
us a greater rebounding presence inside and
would also have been a strong presence on
the offensive end.”
Davis, who leads UNC in blocked shots
and rebounding, didn’t play due to a
sprained ankle he sustained in Saturday’s
game against Georgia Tech.
While coach Roy Williams said Davis
probably could have played hurt, he opted to
hold him out as a precaution because UNC
has six days of rest before its next game.
“He told me yesterday he was about 65
percent, and I didn’t think it was right to
play him unless he could tell me he was at 90
percent,” Roy Williams said. “I said, ‘Give me
a percentage,’ and he said, ‘About 80, 85.’
“I was afraid if I played him and he
sprained it again, it would be one of those
nagging things.”
And with Williams’ decision to play it safe,
Davis traded in his jersey and a spot on the
court for a suit and a seat on the bench.

could fall through due to legal roadblocks.
The hospital still has to complete an appeal pro-
cess started by a wary nearby medical center.
Sixty-eight beds would be relocated from UNC
Hospitals to the location in Hillsborough, said town
of Hillsborough planning director Margaret Hauth.
“They aren’t necessarily expanding capacity,” she
said. “That will happen in the future. But the main
reason now is they are trying to move beds around.”
The $228 million new facility is set to be built
off Interstate 40 Exit 261 in the Waterstone devel-
opment, across the street from Durham Technical
Community College.
Construction for the 80-plus acre site is slated
for completion in 2014.
But an appeal made by Alamance Regional
Medical Center more than a month ago has brought
the process to a standstill, said Ray Lafrenaye, vice
president of facilities and plant development at
UNC Hospitals.
Alamance’s primary concern is that moving
these beds to the proposed community hospital in
Hillsborough could limit the number of patients in
need of aggressive treatment the Alamance medi-
cal center could send to UNC because the research
hospital would have fewer beds available.
The state has approved UNC’s application for a
Certificate of Need, which deems the construction
of the hospital as a necessity.
Karen McCall, vice president of public affairs and
marketing at UNC Hospitals, said the appeal stands
in the way.
But Alamance officials said it could help resolve
outstanding issues.
“When you apply for a C.O.N., other hospitals
before we built another bed
tower on campus.”
Karen McCall, unc hospitals spokeswoman
have the ability to appeal on the grounds that you
are encroaching on their territory,” Hauth said.
Tracey Grayzer, director of public relations at
Alamance Regional Medical Center, said the hos-
pital is worried about a duplication of services,
and said the appeal process could clear up any
misunderstandings.
“The appeal forces everyone to sit down at the table
and have full disclosure on the project,” she said.
Lafrenaye said the project is still in design stages.
“We have a $2 million threshold for planning fees,
and until we get formal approval, we can’t go over
that threshold,” he said.
Attorneys on both sides are currently in talks
about when the appeal will be settled, he said.
The idea of building the new branch was first dis-
cussed last March, Hauth said.
She said she is expecting to receive building plans
for the project this spring.
McCall said need for a satellite clinic seemed more
practical in the recession than an expansion on-site.
“When things changed in the economy, people’s
investments were lost, and our amount of capital
changed,” she said. “Building the expansion off-site
was the best option forward before we built another
bed tower on campus.”

“Coach Williams wouldn’t give

Jan. 10 they had only one day’s
supply of blood — about 1,600
pints — available for hospitals in
a region that includes Charlotte,
Greensboro and the Triangle.
Since then, the supply has
increased to roughly 2,200 pints,
said Orange County Red Cross
blood service coordinator Wilma
Palmer.
But she said donation centers
are still lacking in their blood sup-

To remedy the shortage, Palmer
said the region’s blood donation
centers have extended their oper-
ating hours.
“It has been critically low the
last 10 days,” Palmer said. “This
particular year, it has gone a little
lower than in normally does.”
Palmer said the blood supply
typically drops during flu sea-
son because sick people cannot
donate.
But she blames fear of catching
the H1N1 virus from giving blood
and the closing of donation centers
due to winter weather for abnor-

Album from the Vaults:
Nick Drake, Pink Moon: This 1972
record compresses anguish and
pain like a bottle rocket and shoots
it straight at the listener like a folk
projectile. Recorded without any
outside help or backing musicians,
Drake’s vocals caress his audience,
establishing a duality of intimacy
and profound sorrow.
Movie from the Vaults:
“Willy Wonka and the Chocolate
Factory”: Part of the appeal of this
1971 children’s film is that it’s so
incredibly creepy. Gene Wilder
brings the eccentric confectioner
to life with vibrance and chaos, and
like any good suspense film, you
never really know just what he’ll do
next. Call it a cautionary tale against
trashy TV and blueberry bingeing.

Broken Embraces
Pedro Almodóvar has a rare
and beautiful touch with people.
His movies don’t have antagonists
or protagonists because in real life
there are no such things. Instead,
they have complicated humans
deeply embedded in insolubly
complex problems. He ties these
characters up in one another’s lives
and then ties them back down to
themselves like no one else can. It’s
his forte, and it makes him one of
the world’s best living directors.
In “Broken Embraces,” his
main human subject is a direc-
tor like himself. Mateo Blanco
(played touchingly by Almodóvar-
collaborator Lluis Homar) is a
successful, aging movie director
cursed with blindness.
After two surprising coinci-
dences intrude on his quiet life in
Madrid, he is forced to reveal to a
young friend a part of his life sel-

dom discussed involving an affair
with an actress on one of his sets
a decade before. Recalling every-
thing in narrative flashbacks, from
the intrigues of the romance to the
fatal car crash that robbed him of
his sight, Mateo’s is a menacing noir
story fit for the movies. Watching
him tell it becomes a fruitful medi-
tation on one of cinema’s favorite
subjects (cinema itself ), and shows
the art of film-making as an every-
day experience.
Almodóvar’s flawless interior
sets are normally arresting in their
colors, but he’s toned them down
for “Broken Embraces” as if to keep
them out of the way of his foray
into noir techniques. He wrings
extreme amounts of sexual and
personal tension out of subtle shifts
in foregrounds and backgrounds,
and builds unexpected and pleas-
ing suspense with things as simple
as shoes pounding on hardwood
floors.
But his painter’s palate is still
there, and is as beautiful as its most
beautiful shot: a single teardrop on
a ripe tomato. You can call it fruity,
because it technically is, but you
can’t call it anything less than sexy,
sweet cinema without betraying
yourself as totally blind.
-Jonathan Pattishall
A SINGLE MAN
If you can stare at a still-life
painting for 101 minutes and
stay emotionally involved, then
“A Single Man” will have you in
tears. It is, by far, the most beauti-
ful movie of 2009, but it’s also the
slowest. Gucci designer Tom Ford’s
debut film is a kaleidoscopic intro-

It’s 1962, and George Falconer

Throughout the day, George

‘All My Sons’ director speaks

Paul Green Theatre hosts discussion
BY Latisha Catchatoorian
staff writer
Wine tasting, quiche, hors
d’oeuvres including spanakopita, a
Greek spinach pastry and intimate
live piano playing in a lobby.
This was the inviting atmo-
sphere welcoming visitors to the
Vision Series, a new program from
PlayMakers Repertory Company.
This series invites all to come
to the Paul Green Theatre in the
Center for Dramatic Art to talk
to directors about productions in
progress while “enjoying flavors of
the Triangle.”
Wednesday’s discussion, the
third in the series, focused on
“All My Sons,” a play written by
renowned playwright Arthur Miller
and directed by Davis McCallum.
The mainstage PlayMakers show
opens on Jan. 27 and runs through
Feb. 14.
The play, written and set in 1947,
takes place in the backyard of a
middle-class family in a middle-
class American town in the post-
war era.
“It is a blue-collar situation, but
the stakes are high,” said McCallum,
who said his approach as a director
to this play came from the perspec-
tive of Greek tragedies.
“All My Sons” focuses on the
Keller family and their two sons,
who have gone to war. The play
opens with one son still gone — his
whereabouts unknown — and the
other having returned home.
The stage, serving as the Kellers’
backyard, is covered in artificial turf,
or AstroTurf, and offset by a black-
and-white backdrop of a house with
windows and yellow paneling.
The setting is meant to evoke a
sense of everyday life in which the
audience can see into these win-
dows and feel as if they are walking
down the neighborhood street.
Not only is it important for the
stage to evoke the mood of the play,
but everyone in the cast has to buy
into the play as well, McCallum
said. It is up to the actors to come
together in a human way over com-
mon feelings and translate that
from the stage to the audience.
“You have to start from you and
imagine something else. That’s
what drama does,” he said.
McCallum said he feels a deep
connection to this play. He was
familiar with the play before direct-
ing it, but he was still moved when
rereading it in preparation.
McCallum said he performed in
the play in college, but now, as a
father, he sees it from a different
perspective. He said the hairs stood
up on his neck, which doesn’t hap-
pen too often to him.
Alexander and Carol Lawrence,
who drove in from Cary to attend
the event, have been subscribing to
PlayMakers for 19 years.
Alexander Lawrence said they
have attended the previous two
Vision Series events also.
“It is a different perspective to
start with the director telling you
about the challenges of the play,”
Carol Lawrence said.

Licensing change could benefit researchers

New contract eliminates negotiation
By Lauren Ratcliffe
Staff Writer
After years of toiling in the lab,
UNC researchers have developed a
formula that will stimulate growth
and development.
But it’s not a chemical mixture
or a new technology.
It’s a business plan.
University inventors should now
be able to launch startup compa-
nies based on their innovations at a
faster speed thanks to the Carolina
Express License Agreement cre-
ated by the Office of Technology
Development.
Although the University could
profit less from each new company
formed with the agreement, UNC
could also boost its reputation from
the creation of more companies.
Licensing allows inventors to
market their creations to compa-
nies or create businesses around
their research, said Cathy Innes,
director of the Office of Technology
Development.
Normally, the process of creat-
ing licensing contracts between the
researcher and UNC can take three
to nine months.
“Doing the license agreement
takes a lot of time because you
have two parties who have two
different goals,” Innes said. The
process pits the University against
the faculty member over issues of
financial compensation and prop-
erty rights.
“It can be a very slow and bur-
densome process,” Innes said. “We
want to make that process faster
and more efficient.”
The new agreement takes away
that traditional contract negotia-
tion by establishing a non-nego-
tiable set of financial and business
terms that inventors can agree to.
Because there is no negotiation,
faculty members can create startup
companies faster and easier — ide-
ally reaching a licensing agreement
in about a month.
The University has already
agreed to the new terms, which
were established to be generous to
the inventor, Innes said.
“Our objective is not to maxi-
mize cash to the University, but to
maximize the number of compa-
nies to come out of the University,”
she said.
“Our objective is to get compa-
nies started, foster economic devel-
opment in North Carolina. We’re
not chasing money.”
She said that if the goal was to
increase revenue to the University,
the model used would be differ-
ent and would focus on only the
few most viable company propo-
sitions. Instead, this agreement
seeks to generate many compa-
nies, some of which might be
unsuccessful.
Joseph DeSimone, a professor of
chemistry, said the agreement will
eliminate barriers that discourage
the growth of companies.
“ The companies are being
launched by the faculty and their
students, and all of the sudden
there have to be negotiations, and
it has to be us against them, faculty
against the University,” DeSimone
said. “You often had inexperienced
people on both sides of the table
entering into negotiations that
often become contentious.”
In 2004, DeSimone founded
Liquidia Technologies based on
his innovations and research in the
realm of particle-based vaccines.
He said the traditional process can
take several months and often is
too burdensome for some people
starting companies.
“Getting a license is like .001
percent of what you need to do,”
DeSimone said. “If it’s going to take
three to nine months, it’s going to
be a deal-killer.”
Be fore companies can go
through the licensing process, they
must submit a business plan to the
University for approval.
“We have two or three compa-
nies who are going through the
business plan review process, and
we hope to have our first compa-
ny signed at the end of January,”
Innes said. “I have 19 companies
we are working with that are in
the various stages of starting.
What we’re really trying to do is
make the process faster and easier
for everybody.”

So, due to an icy M.J., I

Almost exactly one year ago
today, UNC hosted an unforget-

was at capacity.
