ATTENTION ...... Metro, Business and Sports editors: NASCAR dream fueled by Moore School business ideas Jordan Anderson, a junior at A.C. Flora High School, has wanted to be a NASCAR driver since age 6. He started with go-carts at speeds in excess of 100 mph in preparation for race cars. He has won titles and championships and, this year, raised $40,000 in sponsorships and created a Web site: www.jordanandersonracing.com. Wanting to raise his profile and an additional $200k in 2008, Anderson approached a Moore School of Business management class, taught by Dr. Phil Bartlett, to develop business strategies to help Anderson realize his dream. Bartlett’s students will pitch their best ideas to Anderson today (Wednesday, Dec. 5) from 5:30 – 7 p.m. in Room 351 of the Moore School. Bartlett chose Anderson from more than 300 business queries he received from the public for Moore School students’ consideration.

ATTENTION ...... Metro and Broadcast editors: University hosts first conference on international Secession Ask any Southerner, and he’ll tell you that secession means one thing: the American Civil War. But the American South isn’t the only region to attempt severing ties with a country. Southern secession and numerous international examples of secession will be discussed at a conference sponsored by the University of South Carolina for scholars and the public Dec. 6 – 8 in Charleston at the Embassy Suites Historic Charleston. Titled “Secession as an International Phenomenon,” the conference will take place just days shy of the 147th anniversary of South Carolina’s vote to secede from the United States of America, a move that culminated in the American Civil War.
