This might sound impossible, but the Federal Reserve and Treasury could make it happen
This week, the talk in Washington was all about how the government can help to create jobs. President Obama offered his suggestions Thursday night. Earlier in the week, Republican frontrunner Mitt Romney provided his plan. Each has some good ideas, but they all have drawbacks: some will cost taxpayers money in the long run and most would require Congress to act. What if a stimulus proposal could sidestep Congress, cost taxpayers nothing, and actually improve the stability of U.S. borrowing?
The Idea: QE 2.5
The Fed's Role
The Federal Reserve would be responsible for one aspect of this stimulus. As you probably know, it has already conducted two rounds of monetary stimulus, or quantitative easing ("QE"). In the first round it purchased securities to help stabilize the financial system after the crisis threw it out of whack. The second round began last November, when the Fed announced it would purchase $600 billion in longer-term Treasuries over eight months.
Both QE1 and QE2 inflated the size of the Fed's balance sheet: they resulted in the Fed injecting additional money into the financial system and holding more assets in its portfolio. But with this new step, which I'll call "QE2.5," the Fed would just replace some of its shorter-term Treasuries with long-term Treasuries.
This possibility was suggested in the monetary policy committee's August meeting. But what if it were focused on purchasing even longer-term Treasuries than QE2: what if it targeted the purchase of only 10- to 30-year notes?
The Treasury's Role
The problem, of course, is that the Treasury doesn't issue many notes with such long maturities. The demand just isn't as great for those as it is for short-term notes. For example, in August the Treasury issued $721 billion in new securities, of which just $41 billion -- less than 6% -- had maturities of at least 10 years. But now imagine that the Fed wants to buy, say, $125 billion per month in longer-term securities for six months. The Treasury could shift is issuance accordingly to provide more longer-term notes to meet some of that demand.
The Motivation
The Fed's Rationale
So why would the Fed bother buying longer-term securities? Its demand for long-term securities would reduce long-term interest rates. Since the government would also be issuing additional securities, however, the effect would be a little more muted, which is why the size of the program would have to be fairly large, and probably larger than QE2.
By pushing longer-term interest rates a little lower, consumers or businesses that want to take on longer-term loans will have a stronger incentive to do so and spending should rise. Since the government would be reducing its issuance of shorter-term Treasuries, the relatively smaller new supply should prevent short-term interest rates from rising much when the Fed begins selling some of its shorter-term holdings.
The Treasury's Rationale
Why would the Treasury want more longer-term debt? Let's think of an analogy. Imagine that you had two loans: a 30-year mortgage fixed at 3% and a 1-year loan at 0.5% that you have to roll over annually. Although that one-year loan is cheaper now, you know that in a couple of years it will cost you more than 3% to continue to roll it over -- and your spending habit won't allow you to pay it off. As a result, it makes sense to consolidate that short-term loan into your mortgage if you are able.
This is similar to the government's situation. The long-term interest rates that it's facing are hitting record lows, due in large part to all of the troubles in Europe. Although its short-term debt is facing very low interest rates, eventually they'll rise. For example, the one-month T-bill yield is at a ridiculous 0.01%. That's great, but as recently as 2005, the same securities' yield was above 4%. Meanwhile, 10- to 30-year Treasury notes yields currently range from 1.93% to 3.26%. If the government locks in those very low rates, it will pay more at first, but could save taxpayers a great deal of money in the long run.
And really, that higher interest rate that the Treasury is paying won't be felt on the securities it sells to the Fed: it provides the Treasury its profits each year. So the vast majority of that interest will ultimately return to the Treasury anyway as Fed profit.
There's another big benefit here: the more long-term debt that the Treasury issues, the easier it will be to roll over its smaller shorter-term debt balance over the next few decades. Its reliance on shorter-term debt could create a challenge in future years as interest rates rise. Its interest costs will be much higher for securities it issues after the current environment of ultra-low rates ends.

If it is leaking that fast you will be able to see where it is leaking from and what needs to be fixed. So what is your question??
ReplyVisitor, October 27, 2010, 12:08
My 1991 GMC Safari has been leaking power steering fluid since I bought the vehicle 6 months ago... I've been using the stop-leak fluid on it, but it's gotten worse. It was leaking a pint a month, now it's two pints a week. I can see that the puddle is on the driver side, but other than that I can't tell where the leak is. (Everything in the engine area there is black.) I'm also having trouble starting the car. Could the leaking power steering fluid be dripping on the starter and fouling it out? I don't know where the starter is on this vehicle.

Pete Seeger: Can music move a mountain?
Pete Seeger in 2000
In 2000, Chris interviewed the legendary folk singer Pete Seeger, who died today at 94. Here is Pete Seeger on "The Connection." As Chris noted in introducing him, Pete Seeger wrote and popularized folk music for over 60 years. He always used his voice and his banjo for a purpose. He never sang a song that didn't have meaning. His convictions about social justice were deep, and his performances changed lives. There's little doubt the FBI had a huge fat file on him back in Washington, and for his liberal politics he was the target of mob attacks too. He sung anti-American songs in Moscow, and was at one time banned from television. He continually inspired other people to action to stop the Vietnam war, to fight racial inequality, and to save the world.

Photographer's Note
At a hot afternoon, just before the show starts. Everyone in the theatre is enjoying refreshingly cold coke.
I remember when I was a little girl, we used to drink coke like this way, poured from glass bottles into plastic bag that full with ice-cubes. Usually we did take away from coffeeshop during a hot day and enjoyed it under fan. (time when air-cond is not yet popular.)
Somehow glass bottle is not common now, replacing by can coke. So when I see this scene it recalls me some past time, you know, this tradisional theatre also something belongs to the past memory.

I remember seeing this in Honduras during the Independence Day Parade. Instead of carrying glass bottles around they poured the coke into plastic bags with straws and tucked the bottles away to be recycled (yes, real glass, not plastic like we have in the US now...) Great subject!

I'm surprised this hasn't been critiqued more than it has, Shih Wei, given that it's been viewed more than 300 times. The lighting is excellent and composition good, and you have certainly captured the feeling that it is a hot day behind those tarpaulins. I also like the similarity between the colours of the costume and the colours of the tarpaulins. Cheers . . . David

The U.S. News College Rankings Just Failed PR 101
From Lance Armstrong to the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame, 2013 is turning out to be the year of holding cheaters accountable. Today we're glad to welcome a few newbies to the group: U.S. News & World Report and the five (or more) colleges that "misreported" admissions data for the publication's inexplicably revered college rankings.
Industry professionals know that dishonesty is the most direct route to bad PR. People don't like being lied to by other people even if they are oddball strangers on the subway, so the public certainly doesn't appreciate being lied to by companies, personalities, brands and universities that they support with their hard-earned money–especially those touted as "experts" in their given fields.
With rising tuition costs and a dwindling ability to guarantee graduates employment, colleges and universities are fighting more vehemently than ever to retain the elevated status they have enjoyed in our culture over the centuries. So we were disheartened to read the Washington Post article that included this comment regarding the matter from Terry W. Hartle, senior vice president at the American Council on Education: "In any highly competitive environment, there is always a temptation to cut corners."
You don't say…

Chinese gangs implicated in India gold smuggling
New evidence suggests the involvement of Chinese mafia in smuggling gold into India.
Posted: Tuesday , 22 Apr 2014
Mumbai (Mineweb) -
A Dubai based Chinese mafia appears to be playing a key role in gold smuggling incidents, especially in South India, customs officials in India say.
Over the last few months, customs officials at the Rajiv Gandhi international Airport in Hyderabad, have detained more than 50 passengers and recovered approximately 80 kilograms of gold. On April 1, about 7.70 kilogram of gold was seized from two passengers by the Directorate of revenue intelliegence sleuths, which was the first instance to alert the investigating team about the role of the neighbouring nation.
"Though it sounds incredulous, investigators have come across enough evidence to indicate that Chinese gangs are hiring operators in other countries and smuggling gold into Hyderabad, Kerala and other Indian cities," said Kalyan Revella, Assistant Commissioner, Customs and Central Excise, at Hyderabad.
Revella said that his investigators had found passengers from Dubai, Singapore and Malaysia carrying illegal gold into Hyderabad. "During the course of the investigation, most of them disclosed that they had been handed the gold to smuggle into the city. They were to get a commission of $8,254 (Rs 500,000) per 1 kilogram," he said.
"Based on the confessions of detained passengers, we have investigated the cases and got some leads that some middlemen were hired by gangs based in China, who were targetting other gangs in Singapore, Malaysia and Dubai. The motive of the gangs is to smuggle gold to India, and the middlemen lure passengers by offering attractive commissions," Revella added.
Those who were arrested said that a Chinese gang was instrumental in re-shaping the gold and placing it in various items like talcum powder tins, speakers, trolley bag handles, iron box base, cellphone batteries, and sometimes even coating the precious metal with silver or mercury to escape the scanners.
Asked to comment, Haresh Soni, chairman, All India Gems and Jewellery Trade Federation, declined to speak about the involvement of the Chinese mafia in the smuggling episodes, but added that more gold has been smuggled into India in the past four months than in the previous 10 years.
Smuggling rules
Incidents of gold smuggling in India remains stubbornly high. Over the weekend, doctors operating on a 63-year-old businessman hit a gold mine, finding as many as 12 gold biscuits weighing a total of 396 grams inside his abdomen.
The man had reportedly swallowed the gold biscuits, each weighing 33 grams, in a bid to smuggle them into the country from Singapore. He had even managed to elude security checks at the airport, but then since he could not get them out, had gone in for surgery. The police was informed and the man has been taken into custody.
On Monday morning, police in Kanpur in North India, seized 11 kilograms of gold, comprising nine gold bricks of 1 kilogram each and 2.270 kilograms of gold ornaments from a car. Three persons traveling in the car have been detained.
Again on Monday morning, security forces seized one kilogram of gold being smuggled from Nepal, and arrested one person from Bihar's East Champaran district, in North India.
In the past week, two international flights have been the focus of customs officials in India, after a combined 15.2 kilogram of gold was smuggled into India aboard passenger jets.
In one instance, an off-duty cabin crew member who was travelling as a passenger onboard a flight to Hyderabad was caught with 13 kilograms of gold in her baggage on April 9, 2014.
Again on April 13, a flight taking off for the Cochin International Airport in Kerala was searched by Indian customs following a tip off. Around 2.2 kilograms of of gold was discovered concealed under a passenger's seat.
A gold chain, gold bangles and gold bars cut into several pieces were all concealed in a plastic packet under the seat.

Apple's Latest Purchase Is iWatch Related
TheStreet) --
(AAPL) is stepping up its acquisition game, having recently purchased wireless semiconductor manufacturer
Passif Semiconductor. This purchase may not only help Apple for existing products, but the iWatch as well.
Technology reporter Jessica Lessin reports that Apple has acquired the Silicon Valley-based Passif. What separates Passif from other semiconductor manufacturers is that Passif's chips use little power. Mobile deivces, particularly smartphones and tablets have increasingly become important for computing needs, as more people turn to these devices to surf the web, work, take pictures, stream videos and other functions. The problem however, is that these devices have had battery life issues, but Passif Semiconductor's chipsets use very little power. Apple is constantly seeking ways to extend battery life for the iPhone and iPad, but a purchase of Passif could be for the oft-rumored iWatch.
Passif's technology incorporates a radio that works with a low-energy version of Bluetooth, which is good for health and fitness devices. The iWatch is such a device which would play perfectly into that category. Apple is reportedly working on a smartwatch, as are other technology giants including Samsung, Google (GOOG) and Microsoft (MSFT), as the wrist area is poised to explode, according to Apple CEO Tim Cook. "The wrist is interesting," Apple's CEO said at a recent technology conference. "You still have to convince people it is worth wearing."
With Passif under its control, Apple, which makes its own chips utilizing intellectual property from ARM Holdings (ARMH) as well as using chips from Qualcomm (qcom) and others, can continue to further advance over its rivals when it comes to power consumption.Apple could not be immediately reached for comment for how much it paid for Passif, though Lessin reported that Apple had previously tried to purchase the company a few years ago, "for a price in the mid-tens-of-millions of dollars." Smartwatches, and in particular the iWatch, have smaller screens, and need longer battery lives, which is where Passif and its chipsets comes into play. By launching a smartwatch, Apple could generate significant revenue for the company, coming in a time when revenue growth is not as robust as it once was. Morgan Stanley analyst Katy Huberty has recently said that an iWatch, priced at $200, could generate as much as $10 billion to $15 billion for Apple per year. Apple is projected to generate $171.4 billion in fiscal 2013, and $187 billion in fiscal 2014, per Thomson Reuters.

Reviewed Good Eats Meatloaf
Jul 3, 2013 in Food Network Community Toolbox on FoodNetwork.com
"Ok, I have to say I went a little different with the recipe, but used 95% of it as my base. The main things I changed were that I ditched the carrot, went with 50% catsup and 50% sweet baby rays bbq sauce, and lightened up the cumin, it was much too strong. Also, instead of making one big meat loaf, I took the finished mixture and portioned..."

If your idea of heaven is peaceful tranquility in natural surroundings with comfort, luxury linens and quality fittings - you will find it here. The Orange Tree House is a renovated Canarian house with vaulted wooden ceilings. A detached 2 storey retreat, set in a private garden with fruit trees, terraces and sea views. Within ten minutes walk of Puntagorda village with local bars, restaurants, shops, bank and weekend market The new, public open-air swimming pool (open in summer) is only a few minutes walk away.
The sunny breakfast terrace is a great place to plan what to do (or not to do) for the day. Sit in the shade of the grape-vine terrace and drink your freshly squeezed orange juice with fruit straight from the tree (in season)
The vineyards next to the garden grow grapes of delicious local wine. Enjoy the evening sunset with a bottle or two and watch a million stars come out.
Wifi here. The Orange Tree House was listed as a top ten retreat on Holiday Rentals in 2010.
Holidaying with friends? The Orange Tree House is situated just below El Sitio (also advertised on Holiday Rentals) so if you enjoy holidaying with friends but also like to have your own space then it may be possible to rent the two houses together.
The Orange Tree House can be whatever you want it to be, a relaxing private retreat away from the world or a base for hill walking and exploration.
Puntagorda village hosts the almond blossom festival in February when the landscape is transformed by trees covered in pink blossom.
This western corner of the island is green and beautiful and, we think, has the best climate on the island!
Less than an hours drive takes you to the mountain top where there are futuristic silver observatories above the clouds.
For a completely different day out visit Los Llanos town - stylish, lots of shops, fascinating buildings, many street cafes and a town square with enormous old trees where you can sit and people watch while you enjoy your coffee.
Tazacorte is the nearest seaside resort with a beach, swimming and a variety of restaurants. But, not forgetting the Puntagorda seaside- at 650metres above sea level we are a long way up, but it's possible to drive most of the way to the rocks by the sea and see some amazing local summerhouses built into the cliff face on the way. For exercise enthusiasts, we have an open air swimming pool, less than five minutes walk away, which is open in the summer months.
Local restaurants, and the village centre are within walking distance.

Voyage depicts the journey of musical development that each soloist has undertaken since the beginning of Celtic Thunder four years ago. It is also the first Celtic Thunder show where all of the artists play different instruments. Keith Harkin plays guitar on his original song 'All Day Long', George and Neil also play guitar on 'Cat's In The Cradle' and 'Past The Point Of Rescue' while Ryan and Emmet pick up the tin whistle and fiddle during the ensemble rendition of 'Galway Girl'.

Frank & Pignard Chooses QAD Enterprise Applications To Improve Supply Chain Efficiency
QAD Inc. (NASDAQ: QADA) (NASDAQ: QADB), a leading provider of enterprise business software and services for global manufacturing companies, and its strategic alliance partner, Sopra Group, announced today that Frank & Pignard SAS, a wholly-owned division of Maike Group, has gone live with the latest edition of QAD Enterprise Applications.
Frank & Pignard provides a variety of power steering and engine injection parts for major automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). Founded in 1929, the company operates three production plants located in Thyez, France. As a QAD customer since 1999, Frank & Pignard relies on QAD Enterprise Applications to efficiently manage its business.
With the automotive market recovering, and ambitious plans for growth in place, the company identified an opportunity to leverage additional new functionality by upgrading to the latest Enterprise Edition of QAD Enterprise Applications.
"We needed to enhance our system to provide our customers the level of support they require," explained René Pierre Chemama – CIO, Frank & Pignard SAS. "By upgrading to QAD's latest edition of Enterprise Applications we have ensured that we can continue to provide the best service for our existing customers as well as attract new clients."A critical customer driven change for the company was the complete redesign of their existing EDI platform. As part of the upgrade, Frank & Pignard has standardised all EDI communication with its car manufacturer clients using the QAD EDI solution which is expected to have a direct impact on supply chain efficiency. The project was delivered by a combined team comprised of personnel from QAD, Sopra Group, and Frank & Pignard. QAD's deployment methodology was used to standardize on best practices and minimize the need for customizations. The implementation of the latest Enterprise Edition at both sites was achieved in less than five months.

Combine a bunch of classic Christmas toys into one work of genius
Getting the latest tech toys under the Christmas tree is always cool, but it's hard to beat the classics for fun that really lasts. This is especially true if you can combine all of those classic toys into one awe-inspiring Rube Goldberg-style machine.
This short video was made by a British company called DMI Productions, but it features a lot of toys that would be familiar to any American kid. It kicks off with a run of the Mouse Trap game, which by itself was inspired by Rube Goldberg's whimsical machines. Then you go through all of the classics from toy trains to a Slinky to playing cards and billiards. At the end, we get a cheerful holiday message.
We've seen plenty of videos with lots of tumbling dominoes or Lego machines that seem to go on forever, but this machine is unique because of the wide variety of toys it uses. What's even more impressive is that the video appears to have been shot in one take, suggesting that the whole thing worked without a hitch at least one time.
Whether you celebrate Christmas or not, we hope you'll enjoy this fun little piece of holiday cheer.

Step 3: Soldering the Connector
Blue - speaker Left
Black - speaker Right
White - Microphone positive
Bare - Ground
The connector should have 3 solder points, ground, left and right channel.
Imagine the diagram below is the connector split in half,
| | | |_______________________
|________|_________|_________| /
Jack Opening__________________________ Wire To headset Controller/
| Ground | Speaker L | Mic + |_____________________/
1) Remove the sheath from the connector
2) Run the wires through the sheath
3) Carefully solder the wires to the proper part of the connector (see attached image)
4) Carefully twist the sheath on
5) Push the wires strain relief so that it's about half way into the sheath
You're done
i did this mod and found you for my turtle beach headsets x41s the mic (white) goes on the left and speaker (blue) goes on the right side. After doing it your way and not working I tested with a multimeter and found it goes the the opposite way.
Originally I wired a 2.5 socket which did not work using the original a40 chat cable. I can provide pics if needed. Thanks.
Also, I've taken to burning the coating off the wires as they're too small for any wirestripper I have, but the only way I can get it to seemingly work is to plug it in almost all the way. If I push it until it "clicks" the microphone won't pick up. But if I pull it out just a bit, both Mic and Speakers work, but the headset also outputs what I'm hearing through my microphone as well. I'm not sure why I'm having so much trouble as everyone else seems to say "It's just 3 quick solders," so maybe it is the fact that I'm using a 3.5 instead of a 2.5. If I can find one, I suppose I'll try that, but as of right now, I'm slowly running out of cable.
I have checked and nothing is touching each other

Why you should read this book: This is probably the only book you will find in all of America's media about Steven Truscott and the Murder of 12-year-old Lynne Harper that is completely objective. Why you may avoid this book: There is an unconscious desire on the part of many to find greater meaning in the life and trials of Steven Truscott than is possible based upon the historical case.

Slim design, over-sized style.
The DRYRIDE Durashell coated ripstop material and fully taped seams of the Burton Atmore 2.5L Jacket means two things; it's light, durable, and it will keep you dry. OK, maybe that was three things, but who's counting? The Atmore's slim fit will look mad nice on you too, unlike that trash bag look you've been running for the last decade.
- Packable design with lightweight material lets you cram into a daypack on the way to the summit
- Printed fully-taped seams stop water from infiltrating your warm eco-system
- Interior sound pocket with feed lets you rock out on the way to the summit
- Contour hood keeps your head dry while leaving your peripheral vision intact

This jacket is a Technical rain jacket. It is ultra lightweight and easily packable. This is a great around the town or Spring ridding piece. Sorry to say if you are looking for a Winter jacket this will not be the best pick. But if you are looking for a Waterproofing, Lightweight packable piece this is it.
hard mf
purdy good
I hate to tag this jacket as a basic shell, but that's what it is. Injected with Burton quality and precision. The rain will roll off and you'll have a place to stash your mp3 player. The zippers are smooth and the fit is primo. Not baggy, not tight, but just right. My only complaint is that if you're wearing only a t-shirt underneath you'll feel a little clammy because of the material (hard to explain).. a mesh liner in this jacket would make it 5 stars. (Although it says Slim Fit, I ordered my normal size and it feels just right)
Good review. Thanks for the input.

Senior Housing Properties Trust Extends Term And Reduces Interest Rate And Fees On Credit Facility
Senior Housing Properties Trust (NYSE: SNH) today announced that it has amended its existing $750 million unsecured revolving credit facility.
Prior to the amendment, SNH's credit facility had a maturity date of June 24, 2015 and interest paid on drawings was LIBOR plus 160 basis points, subject to adjustments based on changes to SNH's credit ratings. The maturity date of the amended credit facility is extended to January 15, 2018 and interest paid on drawings is reduced to LIBOR plus 130 basis points, subject to adjustments based on changes to SNH's credit ratings. In addition, the facility fee was reduced from 35 basis points to 30 basis points per annum on the total amounts of lending commitments.
The amended credit facility includes a borrower's option to further extend the facility for an additional one year to January 15, 2019. In addition, the amended facility also includes a feature under which maximum borrowings may be increased up to $1.5 billion in certain circumstances.

Acxiom's Scott Howe on Web Tracking, AboutTheData.com and the NSA
by Lance Turner
Posted 11/13/2013 04:00 pm
Updated 1 year ago
Acxiom Corp. CEO Scott Howe has given an interview to Direct Marketing News about a host of issues concerning the publicly traded data mining firm, including its AboutTheData.com website and recent revelations about NSA spying.
The full interview is available here and is a worth the read, but I've included this snippet below about AboutTheData.com, the site Acxiom launched late last summer that allowed people to see what personal information Acxiom had collected about them.
In the segment below, Howe sheds a little more light on Acxiom's motivations for launching the site, including how the site was branded. The question is in bold and Howe's answer follows:
Is AboutTheData.com the first step in creating that relationship between consumers and their data?
Quite frankly, what we've been talking about isn't the intent of why we did it. We did it because we believe it's the right thing to do. How can we work in an industry that prides itself in connecting people to businesses and vice versa and not have the voices of those people be heard? It's like being a date matchmaker and not knowing who you're setting up on dates. Ethically, it was the right thing to do to give people more visibility and control over the data that's collected about them.
Do we see an evolutionary path for AboutTheData? Absolutely. One reason we didn't brand it as Acxiom: We took a page out of what the credit bureaus did [which have unfamiliar brand names]. They created FreeCreditReport.com.
To your more immediate question: Is this a first step? We still have [AboutTheData] branded as a beta so in the spirit of full disclosure, it's more of a first half-step.
Under Scott Howe, Acxiom has moved deeper into online data collection, including so-called "big data." And he's been remaking the company in other ways that are still unfolding. Last week, the firm said it plans to cut its annual cost base "between $20 million and $30 million over the next 6 to 12 months."

Updated 12/19/14 @ 4:45 pm
Three arrested following home invasion:
(Caswell County, N.C.) -- Caswell County officials have arrested three men in connection with a Caswell County home invasion in which the homeowner was tied up and robbed at gunpoint. 34-year-old Donald Philip Riley III of Gibsonville, NC is charged with one count of felony breaking & Entering and three counts of felony larceny. 49-year-old Harold Lee Williams, Jr. of Yanceyville, NC is charged with counts of robbery with a dangerous weapon, second degree kidnapping, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and felony breaking and entering. 36-year-old Ronald Richard Whitfield, Jr., of Mebane, NC, is charged with robbery with a dangerous weapon, second-degree kidnapping, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and felony breaking and entering. All three men are being held in the Caswell County Detention Facility under secured bond.
Deputies make arrests following a series of break-ins:
(Caswell County, N.C.) -- A Greensboro man was arrested in connection with the October 28th break-in of Heather's Market in Yanceyville. The suspect is also connected to the break-in of Smith's Store in Ruffin. 32-year-old Spencer Maxwell Armstrong is in the Guilford County Detention Facility on counts of Felony Breaking & Entering, Felony Larceny, and Injury to Real Property. His court date is set for January 22 of 2015.
Martinsville Police search for robbery suspect:
(Martinsville, Va.) -- Martinsville police are searching for two men who robbed another man at gunpoint early this morning. The victim was leaving the CVS on East Church Street around 3 a.m. when two men walked up. They demanded his wallet, keys and cell phone. One of them had a gun. Both left the scene before police arrived.
Anyone with information on the robbery is asked to call the Martinsville Police Department or Crimestoppers at 63-CRIME.
State Senator Proposes Animal Cruelty Registry:
(Richmond, Va.) -- Questions over the price tag led to a delay for a local lawmaker's bill dealing with animal abusers. Now he hopes a re-tooled version will clear the General Assembly when they convene next month.
The Senate Finance Committee earlier this year opted to wait until 2015 before taking up the proposal from Franklin County State Senator Bill Stanley. It would create an Animal Cruelty Registry.
Stanley says the revamped measure will cost only a fraction of the original estimated pricetag.
The registry would include the names of folks convicted of certain felony animal cruelty offenses. A person on the Registry could request removal of his name after 15 years, provided that he has no additional felony convictions.
Dr. Stanley Jones named Danville School Superintendent
(Danville, Va.) -- The Danville School Board last night hired Dr. Stanley B. Jones as the next superintendent.
The 53-year old Jones has served as Superintendent in King and Queen County since August 2013. Under his leadership, King and Queen County Public Schools have expanded career and technical offerings and increased dual-enrollment opportunities for its students.
Before that, Jones served as Executive Director of Instruction for Spotsylvania County Schools; Director of School Safety and Discipline Hearing Review Officer for Hanover County Schools; and, for seven years, was Principal of Lee-Davis High School in Hanover County.
Jones has also served as the Minority Achievement Coordinator in Williamsburg Schools. He began his career in student services positions with Radford University and Lynchburg College.
School Board Chairman Ed Polhamus says Jones brings a wealth of experience, skill, and enthusiasm to the position.
Jones is originally from Roanoke and married a Patrick County native. He has degrees from Radford University; William & Mary; and Virginia Tech.
Pretrial motions in Danville Capital murder case:
(Danville, Va.) -- The man charged with murder in last year's stabbing death of Gilmore Cowan will be in Danville Circuit Court today for a pre-trial motions hearing.
U.S. Marshals Found Harry James Gladmon in Roanoke last year and arrested him. Danville police say Gladmon and another man confronted the 56-year-old Cowan as he was getting off work at the Pure gas Station on the South Boston Road September of 2013. Cowan was getting into a friend's car when two men wearing Halloween masks approached. One stabbed him repeatedly before the pair fled.
Investigators found the masks nearby and said one of the assailants was cut and sought treatment in the emergency room of the local hospital.
Gladmon is being held in the Danville City Jail, without bond, charged with Capital Murder. No word yet on a trial date.
State Senator says everyone should have a "Right to Try":
(Richmond, Va.) -- Personal experience has prompted an area lawmaker to introduce what he calls the "Right to Try" bill. Southside State Senator Bill Stanley says the measure allows those who suffer from a deadly illness a chance to try to save their lives using experimental drugs and therapies that are in development but have not yet been federally approved. Stanley's father fought cancer in the late 80's. At the time, there were drugs being developed and tested---but because they had not been federally approved, he could not use them before he died at the age of 51. Stanley says the approval process for new medications that treat and/or cure deadly diseases often take years to win final approval.
EPA expected to announce regulations:
(Associated Press) -- The EPA tomorrow will announce their first-ever rules for storing and handling coal ash. It comes nine months after a massive Coal Ash spill into the Dan River, contaminating 70 miles of the waterway. Pressure for federal intervention began in 2008, when a dike rupture at a Tennessee power plant spilled more than a billion gallons of ash that covered 300 acres. But the Obama administration delayed action until a federal court order last fall demanded that it get moving, setting up tomorrow's announcement. More than two dozen utilities and others have lobbyists in Washington. Environmental groups are bracing for the possibility that the EPA will NOT designate coal ash as a "hazardous material." The federal government always has left it up to the individual states to manage coal ash storage and disposal.
Census Bureau shows 37% of Danville's Children in Poverty:
(Danville, Va.) -- Danville has the eighth-highest overall poverty rate in Virginia, and the fourth-highest rate among school-age children. The city also has the state's lowest median household income.
That's according to the latest poverty survey from the U.S. Census Bureau. It shows more than 37 percent of Danville's school-age population lives in poverty. That's down slightly from a year ago.
The overall poverty rate in Danville is 25 percent. The under-18 poverty rate in Danville is Virginia's third-highest and is more than double the state average. Pittsylvania County's rates were also above the state average.
The Census Bureau also says the median household income last year in Danville was around $30,900 dollars. Pittsylvania County's was almost 41-thousand. The state median was nearly 63-thousand.
Pitt. Co. strikes out in prayer appeal:
(Danville, Va.) -- A federal appeals court panel in Richmond will NOT consider the latest effort from Pittsylvania County in their long-running battle over prayers at public meetings.
A three-judge panel with the Fourth US Circuit Court of Appeals yesterday ruled that the County's latest appeal was filed past the 100-day deadline. They also rejected the County's arguments over 53-thousand dollars in legal fees awarded to the ACLU of Virginia.
Chatham lawyer Barbara Hudson sued supervisors in 2011 over the board opening meetings with Christian prayer. Judge Michael Urbanski agreed and issued a permanent injunction prohibiting supervisors from promoting any one religion in prayers.
DCC set to help Commonwealth build work force:
(Danville, Va.) -- Governor Terry McAuliffe wants to add 50,000 credentialed community college graduates to the Virginia economy before the end of his term. And a local college president says a new effort from Richmond will help make that goal a reality.
Bruce Scism with Danville Community College says a half (m) million dollars from the Federal Workforce Investment Act calls for a new model.
Scism says a well-equipped workforce is the top request of businesses that want to expand or relocate to Virginia. Other participating community colleges include Patrick Henry in Martinsville, and Southside Virginia in Keysville.
Scism says they hope to begin the offerings by next spring.
Governor proposes budget to help retired teachers and new businesses:
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Gov. Terry McAuliffe wants to more than double the pot of money he can spend trying to lure companies to Virginia, ease school districts' teacher retirement burdens, and give raises to rookie deputy sheriffs.
The governor unveiled these and other proposed changes to the state's biennial budget Wednesday at a Capitol briefing to state lawmakers.
To help pay for the Democratic governor's priorities, McAuliffe wants to limit tax credits designed to bolster the coal industry and sell off $250 million worth of unclaimed property that's been turned over to the state.
The governor is renewing his push to expand Medicaid, a top legislative priority that's been blocked by Republican lawmakers who control the General Assembly.
Lawmakers will take up the governor's proposal in January when the 2015 legislative session begins.
Victim in malicious wounding case dies:
(Gretna, Va.) -- A Gretna man is behind bars, charged with malicious wounding following the death of a Chatham woman two weeks ago.
The Star-Tribune reports 29-year old Henry Daniel Doss is charged with beating 44-year old Mary Adkins Hooker December second at a home on Daniel Road. Hooker died nine days later in the intensive care unit at Danville Regional Medical Center.
According to the court records, Doss allegedly grabbed Hooker "by her hair and banged her head on the floor six times. He then started punching Hooker with his fist multiple times." She suffered three broken ribs and possible nose fractures, along with a black eye and a bad contusion on her chest.
Pittsylvania County Commonwealth's Attorney Bryan Haskins tells the Star-Tribune that they haven't decided whether to upgrade the charges.
Doss is being held without bond in the Pittsylvania County. He's scheduled for a preliminary hearing on the malicious wounding charge in March.
Coroner identifies Danville fire victim:
(Danville, Va.) -- The Medical Examiner and the Danville Fire Marshal have released more information on a fatal fire last Friday.
The coroner yesterday officially identified the victim as 56-year old Jeffery Cumbo-Senior. An autopsy shows he died of smoke inhalation in a fire at his house on Carlson Avenue.
Local fire investigators yesterday confirmed the fire was an accident. They also ruled out any possible connection with fire early that same day at another house on Carlson.
Cumbo taught second grade at Schoolfield Elementary School.
Council sends rezoning back to planners:
(Danville, Va.) -- The Danville Planning Commission will take up a controversial rezoning case again…this, after City Council this week sent it back for clarification.
Council wants planners revisit a series of rezoning requests from developers targeting Stewart Street---a narrow road connecting West Main and Watson Streets, running next to Townes Funeral Home.
Project consultant Gus Dyer says they're planning a five-to-six (m) million-dollar development. It would include two-dozen high-end apartments, ten single-family homes and eight townhouses. He addressed neighbor's concerns that the development would become another derelict structure. But neighbors say they're worried about traffic, property values, and what could happen down the road if someone else purchases the units.
Councilman Fred Shanks says he's not opposed to the concept…but this proposal needs work. Council voted eight-to-one to send the request back to planners…with Buddy Rawley casting the lone dissenting vote.
Telvista to add 300 jobs in Danville:
(Danville, Va.) -- Telvista has renewed its lease in Danville and plans to add nearly 300 jobs at the local call center.
The Texas-based call center outsourcing firm will add the jobs to its 62,000 square feet location on Cain Creek Boulevard, which is owned by the Industrial Development Authority of Danville. The company also plans to bring approximately 300 new jobs to the area, bringing the total workforce to 580.
Governor Terry McAuliffe praised the announcement and said the company has "thrived in Danville since opening its facility in April 2005." He added that creation of jobs that are not tied to federal contracts will "help us build a new Virginia economy."
Following a multi-state search, Telvista decided to keep its contact center in Danville. The company cited location and an available labor pool, as well as its investment in the property.
Telvista's Chief Operating Officer, David Arellano, said the Danville community has provided the right mix of labor availability, quality and cost structure" and said those factors played a key role in the decision to expand locally.
Danville Mayor Sherman Saunders called the announcement an early Christmas present for the city.
