Sidcup to receive fresh injection of regeneration funding
People living in flats to rent in Sidcup are set to see a whole host of improvements introduced in the local high street, following a new pledge of support from the Outer London Fund. London mayor Boris Johnson announced earlier this month that Bexley Council will be allocated £1.8 million to carry out a number of regeneration projects in the area over the next two years, which will go a long way to helping Sidcup become a more desirable place to live. Various public spaces are set to undergo extensive renovations, including the expansion of the Elm Parade area to create a new restaurant quarter, as well as the strengthening of links between Morrisons and the Nisbett Walk high street, plus key locations such as the railway station and the planned Queen Mary’s Health and Wellbeing Campus. It is thought that these initiatives will help to attract new businesses to the region and support existing ones, with the funding set to add to the £1.8 million already invested into Sidcup by the council in recent years. Linda Bailey, Bexley’s cabinet member for economic development and regeneration, said “Along with the arrival of key new brands like Waitrose and Travelodge, we will continue to build a new sense of investor confidence.” She added: “We need to do all we can in partnership with the private sector to create an offer that encourages people back to explore, learn, shop, dine and trade in the town.” This is one of many externally-funded regeneration schemes that will be taking place in Bexley over the coming years, with projects in Bexleyheath, Erith, Welling and Crayford already set to go ahead. The council has also recently announced plans for more than 2,000 new homes to be created in the next few years, meaning more residents than [...]

By Marcy Gordon and Daniel Wagner ASSOCIATED PRESS Friday January 27, 2012 6:53 AM WASHINGTON — Companies bailed out during the financial crisis still owe U.S. taxpayers nearly $133 billion, and the Treasury’s plans to recoup that money have been slowed by the volatile stock market and weakness among smaller banks. Some of the money will never be recovered. That’s the conclusion of the acting inspector general for the government’s financial bailout. Some bailout programs, such as the effort to reduce home foreclosures, will last as late as 2017, the inspector general said. Those programs could cost an additional $50 billion or more. After the 2008 financial crisis, Congress authorized $700 billion for the bailout of financial companies and automakers via the Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP. About $413 billion was lent. So far, the government has recovered about $318 billion, or about 77 percent. “TARP is not over,” Christy Romero, the acting inspector general, said in a statement. Among the largest bailed-out companies, American International Group Inc. still owes taxpayers about $50 billion, General Motors Co. owes about $25 billion and Ally Financial Inc. about $12 billion. The 371 banks that still owe money include Regions Financial Corp., which owes $3.5 billion; Zions Bancorporation, $1.4 billion; Synovus Financial Corp., $967.9 million; Popular Inc., $935 million; and First Bancorp of San Juan, Puerto Rico, $400 million. The Treasury Department bailed out companies with loans. It converted its loans to some of the biggest recipients into common shares in those companies. Those shares are now trading below Treasury’s break-even prices. For Treasury to sell its stock in the largest recipients at the price where taxpayers would break even — $28.73 a share for AIG, $53.98 for GM — it could take years, the report says. AIG’s shares closed yesterday at $25.14. GM [...]

Police have linked two violent Sydney armed robberies, which occurred more than four years apart, after the discovery of fresh forensic evidence. Police have resumed investigations into the historical shootings in and released Comfit images of the suspects. Three men forced their way into a home on Milsop Street, Bexley shortly before midnight in July 2002. They confronted a 32-year-old man, assaulted him and then shot him in the stomach. His wife and two young children were left unharmed and the assailants fled the scene. On October 9, 2006, three men forced their way into a unit at the back of a tennis academy in Kingsford about 11pm. A 69-year-old man, who had been home alone, was woken by one of the men, who threatened him with a firearm. When the man’s german shepherd started to bark, the robber shot it. The dog was rushed to a vet and survived the ordeal. The intruders took off with some of the man’s property. “Following the recent discovery of new forensic evidence, investigating officers now believe both cases are linked,’’ police said. Police are renewing an appeal for public assistance and have released Comfit images of three men of Middle Eastern/Mediterranean appearance, aged in their early 20s, and of thin to medium build.

By Michael Melia ASSOCIATED PRESS Friday January 27, 2012 6:46 AM Enlarge Image Mayor Joseph Maturo Jr. of East Haven, Conn., has apologized but is resisting calls that he resign. EAST HAVEN, Conn. — The office of East Haven’s mayor was blasted with prank phone calls and a delivery of hundreds of tacos yesterday after his now-famous quip that he would address accusations of anti-Latino bias by eating tacos, a remark that left emotions raw in the town’s large Hispanic community. Mayor Joseph Maturo Jr. has apologized several times but is resisting calls for his resignation over remarks he made to a television reporter after Tuesday’s arrests of four city police officers, men described by one FBI official as “bullies with badges.” Maturo held regular meetings yesterday as Connecticut’s Latino and Puerto Rican Affairs Commission called on him to resign. “The Latino community is upset and deeply wounded in what should have been a day of redemption for them,” the commission’s acting executive director, Werner Oyandel, said in a statement. An immigration-rights group, Reform Immigration for America, delivered 400 tacos to Maturo’s office in protest. A soup kitchen picked up the tacos, but one was left symbolically for the mayor. His office fielded a steady flow of calls, some with prank comments about tacos and others from supporters who want him to stay in his job. Maturo, a Republican, has been mayor off and on since 1997 in this predominantly white, blue-collar town on the shore of Long Island Sound where Latino residents constitute about 10 percent of its population of 29,000. East Haven has been under federal scrutiny since the U.S. Justice Department launched a civil-rights probe in 2009 that found discrimination and biased policing against Latinos. A federal indictment accuses the four police officers of assaulting people while [...]

Drugs bust seizes 11 kilos of cocaine worth £1.5million 12:49pm Friday 27th January 2012 in Skip social links Print Email Comments(0) A DRUGS bust saw eight members for an organised crime network arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to supply more that £1.5million of cocaine. Officers from the Metropolitan Police’s Special Projects Team arrested eight people, including five from Bexley, Southward and Kingston and found around £30,000 in cash. Three people were also arrested in Northampton, following what the police have described as a ‘proactive, intelligence-led surveillance operation’. Eleven kilos of cocaine was seized, with an estimated street value of £1.5million was seized along with £170,000 in cash from a haulage firm. Detective Inspector Sarah Staff said: “Approximately 11 kilos of cocaine which was no doubt bound for London’s streets and beyond has been removed from circulation today. “The seizure has disrupted a significant supply of cocaine and we hope that it will reinforce the message that the Met will continue to combat those criminal networks who intend on flooding the streets with class A drugs”.

House building in Bexley not stopped by economy 3:48pm Friday 27th January 2012 in Skip social links Print Email Comments(0) DESPITE the economic gloom, house building in Bexley is continuing at a positive rate. While much of the country is facing reduced construction, falling house prices and increasing difficulty in getting mortgages approved, Bexley is set to receive more than 1,800 houses in the next five years – with nearly 20 per cent affordable for rent and shared ownership. Bexley Council’s cabinet member for economic development and regeneration, Councillor Linda Bailey said: “It is good news to see so many new homes under construction in Bexley, particularly in light of the difficult housing market. We will continue to work with developers and housing associations, to ensure there is a range of quality housing coming forward in the borough.” Funding from the Homes and Communities Agency has helped supply affordable homes and key developments include at Crayford Town Hall, Southmere Village in Thamesmead and Larner Road in Erith.

Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations in Bexley 7:00am Friday 27th January 2012 in Skip social links Print Email Comments(0) STREET party applications to celebrate the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee are coming in thick and fast. Bexley Council has received nine applications to celebrate the landmark occasion in June. With four months to go until the big event, the number so far is almost half the 19 street parties held last year for the royal wedding. Neighbours in Stephen Road, Barnehurst are already brainstorming ideas for a party in their street. Zoe Woodham, aged 38, said: “Myself and six residents must set up a committee to get permission from the council to close the road. “We have asked the majority of residents in the street and received positive responses so far. We are looking to host the event on Sunday June 3. “We are looking to stage a football match, run a craft table and raffle followed by a barbecue. “We want to make it inclusive for all ages and will invite residents from nearby Oakwood Drive and Holly Gardens to attend. Children will receive a souvenir of a commemorative coin to mark the day.” Party organisers have to seek permission from the council to close a road with a minimum notice period of six weeks prior to their event. Celebrations for the royal event will place during a four day bank holiday weekend from June 2 to 5. Council leader Councillor Teresa O’Neill said: “This is set to be an amazing year for the country. I hope that as many local people as possible will help us to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee. “We would encourage residents and community groups to consider holding street parties. I would like to see Bexley coming out to celebrate this momentous event. I know we have already [...]

Rebuild top of priority list for PM Few want to stay in Parklands Family despairs at uncertainty Christchurch city courthouse reopens Courthouse safe for jurors – judge Under-cap ruling was a year in the making Latest quakes and statistics Grand Chancellor demolition resumes Supermarket operator pledges expansion Structural brick walls ‘should be examined’ Prime Minister John Key has put the Christchurch rebuild at the top of his priority list for the next three years, warning that the Government will use its special powers to remove any stumbling blocks. In his state of the economy address in Auckland yesterday, Key said 2011 had been about “dealing with the damage” caused by the Canterbury earthquakes. This year was about “starting to rebuild a vibrant, strong city”. The Government was committed to the reconstruction of Canterbury, he said. “That’s why we put aside $5.5 billion in last year’s Budget and created a whole new government department to lead the recovery effort,” he said. “I can assure you that we won’t hesitate to use the powers we have to clear blockages in the system.” He said it was easy to underestimate the scale of the undertaking. “Rebuilding Christchurch and its surrounding areas is an unprecedented project – without doubt the biggest economic undertaking in New Zealand’s history. It is also at risk of delays from more seismic activity,” he said. A National Bank report last year showed economic activity in Canterbury was growing faster than anywhere else in the country. The Re:Start shopping area in the City Mall was drawing people back to the heart of the city, Key said. “And we have seen large companies show their faith in the city by announcing new investment in Christchurch,” he said. “Nearly 70 per cent of the 1357 buildings approved for partial or full demolition in greater Christchurch have been [...]

SOUTH EUCLID CIVIL MATTER, LIBERTY ROAD: A man told police on Jan. 14 that he believed he was scammed that day out of $100. The man said he agreed to purchase a car that had been listed for sale on Craigslist. He sent the advertiser $100 from a prepaid Visa card as a down payment, then drove from Loveland, Ohio to South Euclid to pick up the car, for which he agreed to pay $8,000. The seller told the man to make sure he paid off the remaining $7,900 in cash. The buyer went to the address where he was supposed to find the car. The car was in the driveway, but the woman who answered at the house said the car was not yet for sale. She said she was looking at buying another car, but would not sell her car until she found another. The woman was unaware that the car had been listed on Craigslist. The buyer tried to call and text message the seller, but could not reach him. Police were also unable to reach the seller on their first attempt. ANIMAL COMPLAINT, WINSTON ROAD: A South Euclid man called police the morning of Jan. 11 to report problems with his neighbors. The man said that on Dec. 27, the neighbor’s dog was seen in his yard. The dog left feces behind. The dog’s owner said he would clean up the mess, but never did. On Jan. 10, the man again found feces in his yard, as well as cigarette butts. The complainant said he has had ongoing problems with the neighbor. Police were unsuccessful in a first attempt to contact the neighbor to explain dog ownership regulations. DISORDERLY CONDUCT, LAUREL ROAD: At 9:50 p.m. Jan. 15, an Avondale Road man called police to state that [...]
Read More >>Data-Driven Libraries: Moving From Outputs to Outcomes
An Increasing focus on impact reshapes how leaders evaluate and design service By Rebecca Miller, with Francine Fialkoff Michael Kelley Something special happens when 150 public library directors, deputy directors, and trustees gather in one room to talk about what their communities get from their libraries. The ideas and examples whip back and forth, as do equally intense questions about roadblocks to all sorts of challenges and strategies for overcoming them. The headiness of this to and fro was palpable at LJ’s third Director’s Summit, held at Columbus Metropolitan Library (CML), OH, December 5–6, 2011. (For more perspective on the discoveries from this event see Francine Fialkoff’s editorial “Moving to Outcomes,” p. 8.) Data Driven Libraries This article is the first in a series looking at the strategies libraries can take to better inform themselves and their stakeholders about the impact of their services. Look for future articles in the fall of 2012. See also: Moving to Outcomes | Editorial These library leaders came to discuss the urgent need to reshape how library service is evaluated in order to articulate outcomes better to stakeholders and share success stories with the community. Pure data such as gate counts, computer uses, and more aren’t as satisfying to those who hold the purse strings as are measurements that articulate impact. “It’s pretty simple,” said Jeanne Goodrich, executive director, Las Vegas–Clark County Library District, NV. “Why we do what we do drives what we do. An outcome answers the question, ‘So what?’” “It’s not good enough for our small business and our entrepreneurial groups to think, ‘Yeah, the library’s a good place because it helps my kids with their homework,’” said Steven Potter, director of libraries, Mid-Continent Public Library, Independence, MO. “People have to understand that the library is important to them directly.

Jan. 26, 2012 Live Results | Schedule of Events OXFORD, Ohio – For the first time since 2009, the Miami University women’s track and field team heads to Lexington, Ky. for the Rod McCravy Memorial Friday and Saturday, hosted by the University of Kentucky at Nutter Field House. The meet starts Friday night at 6 p.m. with four field events, three of which are women’s events, in the weight throw, pole vault and long jump. The meet resumes Saturday at 10:30 a.m. with the high jump and triple jump while the shot put is the final field event at noon.

A total of 17 teams will be competing at the meet, which has tough competition from some of the top conferences in the country and three nationally ranked squads. Four SEC schools will be in attendance as in addition to the host Wildcats, Ole Miss, South Carolina and Vanderbilt will be present. No. 14 Ohio State from the Big Ten, Georgia Tech from the ACC and Cincinnati from the Big East will also take part in the meet.

THE discovery of new forensic evidence has led police one step closer to solving the case of a Bexley man shot during a violent home invasion almost a decade ago. The results of forensic testing have also linked the incident to an Eastern Suburbs robbery in which a dog was shot. Detectives released computer generated images last week in an appeal for information about both robberies. It is believed three armed men wearing balaclavas shot a Bexley man, 34, in the chest and leg after he answered a knock on the front door of his Milsop Street house on July 28, 2002. His wife and two children were at home during the invasion about 11.45pm. The man drove himself and his family to St George Hospital where he underwent surgery, the Leader reported at the time. At the time of the incident, Detective Sergeant Steve Patton told reporters the motive appeared to be robbery, but nothing was taken from the house. “The man was engaged in an extremely violent struggle with one of the intruders when another offender fired a number of shots, hitting the man with two bullets,” he said. The man made a full recovery and no one else was injured. Police believe the case is linked to armed robbery of a Kingsford unit where three men threatened a man, 69, at gunpoint and shot his German Shepherd. Police described the men as Middle Eastern/Mediterranean in appearance. Crime Stoppers, 1800 333 000.

When the city of Bexley made a Facebook announcement about the grand opening of Barrel 44′s newest location, there were 14 comments and questions from excited prospective guests. Seven of them involved the availability of children’s menus. Because, apparently, a whiskey bar is the sort of place where droves of people want to bring children. Good news for family-minded diners: The place does have a children’s menu. There are no chicken nuggets, but there are cheeseburgers and grilled chicken strips. Beyond the kiddie fare, Barrel 44 seems like an appropriate successor to the suave Bexley Monk, which occupied the site for more than 25 years. With its tables now covered in black cloth and brown paper, the huge space looks cool, organic and artist-y. The menu also feels huge — maybe because there are many small pages combined in a flip-book style. There’s a little page for pizzas, a little page for entrées and yet another little page for salads. Speaking of which, the salads are beyond generous. The 44 Salad ($7.90), for one, is a full-plate meal. Heaps of greens are perfectly dressed in a light vinaigrette and combined with nuggets of dried cherries, hearts of palm, candied nuts and crisp slivers of beets. There’s also flatbread, courtesy of the highly publicized wood-burning pizza oven. One version is Ratatouille Flatbread ($9), a pie covered with a blend of zucchini, tomatoes and eggplant. It’s so good, it inspires wishes for big bowls of unadulterated house ratatouille. By the way, goat-cheese lovers will be pleased to hear that the Ratatouille Flatbread is topped with an acre of the stuff. However, the rest of the world might be happier with the Mojo Chicken version ($9.50), which boasts black beans, red peppers, a little citrus kick and, gloriously, no goat cheese. On the [...]

Read More >>In Ohio, dropout law hard to enforce
By Charlie Boss The Columbus Dispatch Thursday January 26, 2012 7:34 AM During Tuesday’s State of the Union address, President Barack Obama urged states to require students to stay in school until they graduate or turn 18 — a law already in effect in Ohio and 19 other states. Still, at least 23,000 Ohio teens dropped out in the 2010-11 school year. And only a small number of those kids took advantage of an Ohio provision that lets them “ officially” leave school if they’re at least 16, have a full-time job and have permission from a parent and the district. Most of those 23,000 were out of school illegally and could face penalties — if they could be tracked down. Local educators are trying a variety of ways to keep kids in school: They have hired truancy officers to work with teens at risk of dropping out. They have created alternative programs to help struggling students earn credits or serve those that don’t thrive in a traditional high-school setting. They have created charter schools aimed at high-school dropouts. “We know there is an economic consequence when a student drops out and doesn’t get a high-school diploma,” Reynoldsburg Superintendent Steve Dackin said. “We’ve got to do everything we can do to make sure kids stay in school.” The district redesigned its high school into career-based academies to help students think about their futures and identify their interests. Reynoldsburg also runs Everest Academy, a charter school that serves students at risk of dropping out. Getting students to school who don’t want to be there can be a struggle. Several school districts work with courts or agencies to help track down students in danger of becoming truant — meaning they’ve missed more than 15 unexcused days — or those that have just [...]
