Earl weakens to Category 1, heads for Northeast
3 Sep 2010 at 11:47am
Hurricane Earl sideswiped North Carolina's Outer Banks early Friday, flooding the vacation islands but causing no injuries and little damage, then chugged up the Eastern Seaboard toward Cape Cod, a weaker but still dangerous storm.Earl dropped to a Category 1 hurricane - down from a powerful Category 4 just a day earlier - as it wheeled over open water, with winds of 85 mph. It was expected to reach New England late Friday night, passing perilously close to Cape Cod, Nantucket Island and Martha's Vineyard at the start of the Labor Day weekend.The storm howled past the Outer Banks before daybreak, knocking out power to thousands and closing a road to a main bridge between the islands and the mainland. But Earl's winds had dropped by then to 105 mph from 145 mph a day before. And at its closest approach, the storm's center passed about 85 miles east of Cape Hatteras - up to 50 miles farther out than forecasters feared.Hurricane-force winds, which start at 74 mph, apparently did not reach the Outer Banks, the National Hurricane Center's chief forecaster James Franklin said."We still think it will be a hurricane when it passes by Cape Cod," Franklin said. Earl was also expected to kick up high surf and dangerous rip currents up and down the East Coast, even along stretches where the storm remained well offshore.

Companies add 67K workers, but jobless rate rises
3 Sep 2010 at 11:32am
Private employers hired more workers over the past three months than first thought, a glimmer of hope for the weak economy ahead of the Labor Day weekend. But the unemployment rate rose because not enough jobs were created to absorb the growing number of people looking for work.Companies added a net total of 67,000 new jobs last month and both July and June's private-sector job figures were upwardly revised, the Labor Department said Friday.Stocks surged after the report's release but then fell back. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 64 points in morning trading and broader indexes were all up.While the report hardly suggests the economy is out of danger, it's a reassuring sign after weeks of troubling data and comes after some encouraging economic figures in the past week.Scott Brown, an economist at Raymond James, said he sees no sign of the country slipping back into recession.

Haley criticizes Sanford, port situation
3 Sep 2010 at 9:24am
CHARLESTON -- State Rep. Nikki Haley began her career as a protege of Gov. Mark Sanford, but as she seeks to replace him, she's talking about a few things she would do differently.The Lexington Republican said Thursday that she would not submit her own budget like Sanford but instead would work with state lawmakers on their draft."You will see me do things a different way when we go into January," she told more than 100 people of the Commercial Investment Division of the Charleston Trident Association of Realtors."I served in the legislature. I know what they think. We have got to start working with them from a predictable standpoint."Haley called Sanford reactionary by nature, adding. "They would pass a bill, he would react. They would pass a budget, he would react. In order to lead with the legislature, you have to be predictable. You have to let them know what you're going to do before you do it."
