Harrisonburg records an unemployment rate 6.9% in July, down 0.2 points, while nationally, Virginia’s 7.1% is the 14th lowest among the states and the District of Columbia. For some national context,  the Wall Street Journal reports that the  national unemployment rate ticked upward to 9.5% as more people entered the labor force to look for work.  The private-sector added 67,000 jobs on a seasonally adjusted basis, while overall, nonfarm payrolls fell by 54,000, as the U.S. cut 114,000 temporary Census workers and state governments also reduced employment.

• The Washington Post and the NV Daily are reporting that Governor McDonnell has ordered the DMV remain open for longer hours Saturday. Some offices, including the Harrisonburg office, will be also open Sunday, and Labor Day to make up for the backlog due to the failure of a data storage unit outside Richmond that impacted a number of VA agency computer systems last week. Sounds like a perfect way to spend the weekend.

The Geography of Immigrant Labor Markets: Space, Networks, and Gender (The New Americans: Recent Immigration and American Society)

Parks finds that both spatial and social accessibility matter in connecting immigrants to jobs and that gender saliently shapes immigrant labor markets. She shows how geography sustains labor market segregation among immigrants and points to a reciprocal and reinforcing relationship between ethnic residential segregation and ethnic labor market segregation. This relationship is particularly acute for some immigrant women, possibly stemming from their gendered domestic roles and reliance upon neighborhood- and household-based social networks. The collective results of this study illustrate the importance of household, neighborhood, and geography in shaping the gendered immigrant labor markets of Los Angeles.

The city school system is thinking about shutting down Walker Elementary or Buford Middle, Rachana Dixit wrote in yesterday’s Progress. Walker serves solely fifth- and sixth-grade students, while Buford serves seventh- and eighth-grade students. By consolidating them—probably at Buford—the city could save up to $700k/year in salaries…but it would require $21M in capital costs.

From the late sixties until the late eighties, Buford and Walker were both middle schools. In 1988, they split the duty, with Walker taking the lower two grades, and Buford taking the upper two.

The school board will vote on this in mid-October.

Over at The Hook, editor Hawes Spencer has been writing about the latest in the slow-motion collapse of the whole Landmark Hotel / Halsey Minor / Lee Danielson thing, with the news of the moment being the Chapter 11 filing by Minor Family Hotels LLC. Within that piece, Spencer mentions that Minor started threatening The Hook with a lawsuit, and links to two e-mails [1, 2] that Minor sent to the newspaper in early July. The first one, sent July 2, reads:

Hawes you are the $7.5 mm man — so far. If it was not for you printing the outrageous comments from Lee and SFG I would not have done so well in court. You have clearly destroyed the value of the hotel with your series of inaccurate and in inflammatory stories based on completely false facts. SFG was horrible, and Lee was just as bad but with the hook accepting falsehood after falsehood as gospel you have made obvious the damages the bad actors can have in undermining a project and an important economic driver to a city like Charlottelsville.

As I said. Christies down $12.5.mm for fraud. Lee bankrupt. SFG bankrupt. You write one more story that is libelous and I have no choice but to go after the third leg of the stool, the Hook. Tell your people to quite inventing facts. Say you are sorry. Haas, I am suing you plain and simple to clear my name with one more nasty false story. Christies can afford to underestimate me. You cannot.

And the second one, sent July 3:

Hawes, trust me. When your down people start to pile on. You are just such an individual which is why you are generally disliked around town.

You need to publicly apologize to me. Divorce and a libel suit are not going to be a good plan for you.You apologize publicly or I am coming after you for lying about me when I was fighting my battles, which were for the sake of the city, not to sell sleazy papers.

The difference between you and I is you bug the fuck out of me, but I on the other hand can and will crush you if you don’t make amends for being such a lying asshole for the last 18 months — you, Lee and the FDIC. Your world is getting small fast and if you choose to take me on too you are not going to believe how far down the bottom really is. I crushed the jerks in my way. Good luck to you.

Wow. Those are scorchers. Minor never specifies what he believes to be falsehoods in The Hook’s coverage, so it’s tough to know what the merits are of his claims.

The Devil Amongst the Lawyers: A Ballad Novel

In 1935, when Erma Morton, a beautiful young woman with a teaching degree, is charged with the murder of her father in a remote Virginia mountain community, the case becomes a cause célèbre for the national press.

 Eager for a case to replace the Lindbergh trial in the public’s imagination, the journalists descend on the mountain county intent on infusing their stories with quaint local color: horse-drawn buggies, rundown shacks, children in threadbare clothes. They need tales of rural poverty to give their Depression-era readers people whom they can feel superior to. The untruth of these cultural stereotypes did not deter the big-city reporters, but a local journalist, Carl Jennings, fresh out of college and covering his first major story, reports what he sees: an ordinary town and a defendant who is probably guilty.

This journey to a distant time and place summons up ghosts from the reporters’ pasts:  Henry Jernigan’s sojourn in Japan that ended in tragedy, Shade Baker’s hardscrabble childhood on the Iowa prairie, and Rose Hanelon’s brittle sophistication, a shield for her hopeless love affair. While they spin their manufactured tales of squalor, Carl tries to discover the truth in the Morton trial with the help of his young cousin Nora, who has the Sight. But who will believe a local cub reporter whose stories contradict the nation’s star journalists? For the reader, the novel resonates with the present: an economic depression, a deadly flu epidemic, a world contending with the rise of political fanatics, and a media culture determined to turn news stories into soap operas for the diversion of the masses.

A stunning return to the lands, ballads, and characters upon which she made her name, The Devil Amongst the Lawyers is a testament to Sharyn McCrumb’s lyrical and evocative writing.

LINK is software independent so it does not take up RAM space, connecting instead between the computer and the monitor at the video port via a daisychain cabling topology. No card slots are used, and only the hardware with the external video port is required; the network created can include any computer that does not have the monitor built into the computer. Instructors are given complete control of the learning environment and can send images to one or all students, receive images from one or all students, clear monitors or freeze keyboards. The system was incorporated into the school’s existing lab that included 12 IBM PC XTs with IBM RGB monitors; the system was later bought by the Academic Computer Center, which has 48 IBM clones with VGA monitors.

Charlottesville Tomorrow
Friday, September 3, 2010

Charlottesville’s City Council met in a two-hour work session Thursday to review recent studies about a 50-year water plan that has been in the works for nearly eight years, since the drought of 2002 underscored the need for a long-term solution.

After seven separate presentations, the council found it had run out of time for a substantive discussion about specific plan alternatives. Mayor Dave Norris said the council would find time at the next two regular City Council meetings being held in September, including a public hearing on the water plan scheduled for Sept. 20.


“Our purpose today was not for council to come to any decisions, but rather to give us a chance to review a lot of the studies that have been done,” Norris said.

“The data presented was very useful,” Councilor Satyendra Huja said after the meeting. “We have more data and opinions now than when I first started on City Council. I think we will have a better plan.”

Organizations advocating both for and against the 2006 water plan, which still has the backing of Albemarle County officials, were given the opportunity to make presentations.

The Nature Conservancy’s Bill Kittrell provided the council with background on his organization’s early work contributing to the water plan. He described the goal of balancing human and environmental needs by finding a plan that provided a big enough “bath tub” to provide drinking water in a severe drought and at the same time provide for improved stream flows in the Moormans and Rivanna rivers.

“Stream flows are important because water and wildlife that depend on rivers depend not just on the quality of the water, but also the quantity of the water,” Kittrell said. “Unfortunately, aquatic animals are the most imperiled animals in the world … and impacts locally are due primarily to excess sedimentation and altered hydrology.”

Dede Smith, Citizens for a Sustainable Water Plan

Dede Smith, representing Citizens for a Sustainable Water Plan, a group that favors dredging at the South Fork Rivanna Reservoir, presented data about water conservation that she has said demonstrates why the new dam in the water plan will be unnecessary.

“Given what we’ve seen and what we know about conservation trends, we can anticipate a conservation rate that is much closer to 30 percent,” Smith said. “I consider this quite a conservative estimate.”

Smith said water conservation would increase as more efficient water fixtures and appliances were utilized in the community and that the 50-year water plan was oversized. Smith said overall water usage in the city would continue to drop, and that while the University of Virginia was a significant city customer, she said Albemarle was a different matter.

“UVa will be put before you as a big threat, but I’ll tell you, UVa can’t even begin to compete with county growth,” Smith said.

The Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority has scheduled a tentative meeting of the “four boards” for Sept. 21, the day after the council’s public hearing. The signatories of the four-party agreement that governs local water and sewer matters are the RWSA, the Albemarle County Service Authority, the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors and the City Council.

Huja said he was “leery” that the council would have reached a decision by the time of that meeting.

“It could happen Sept. 20, but if history is any guide, I’m not so sure,” Huja said. “I hope I will be able to make a decision by then.”

Councilor Holly Edwards said she was weighing the benefits of improved stream flows and a sense of obligation to maintain the existing South Fork Reservoir with dredging. She said she still needs to look at all the information that has been collected before making her decision.

“On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being [at a decision] and 1 being not even close, we are still at a 5,” Edwards concluded.
