There was similar action too when Kevin Newman of Alabama was shot, and four wanted posters displaying potential suspects were released. Two of those wanted men remain at large. Denarto Ewing, who turned himself in and Deangelo Harvey, who was captured are both remanded but we understand on misdemeanor charges and will soon be released from prison. Twenty-one year old Prince Brutus and Renardo Clarke, 28 are still on the run.Meanwhile, no one is in custody for the June 24 shooting of Mr. Newman and no one is arrested for the July 28 shooting of Michael Jones…. As yet. The UK heads up national security for the country and on Saturday, Governor Dr. John Freeman explained that there are urgent efforts which cannot be divulged to the public happening already and they are designed to curb crime and curtail illegal migrant landings by boat.“Much has already been put in train and following recent incidents additional and specialised support (including from outside the Islands) is being put in place already or to be examined urgently.” He also said, “Defeating the criminals remains a responsibility we hold in common. The effort to deal with violent crime is ongoing. More resources are being dedicated to security needs and more will be available in the future. And all of us with responsibilities for security are committed to seeing the task through.”He said in that Saturday statement. On Friday Police announced an overall decrease in crime by 15%, but a super surge in gun crimes by 158% and robberies by 220%. #MagneticMediaNews#TCIpolicetogethelp Facebook Twitter Google+LinkedInPinterestWhatsApp

In a media statement defending her administration’s presence on and handling of crime in the aftermath of a recent wave of frighteningly dangerous home invasions, #PremierSharleneRobinson said expressions of concern in the UK directly to the Foreign Minister about national security led to territories getting help.“The TCI was one of the earliest countries to receive a Team who assessed our needs. We are now in possession of that Report with recommendations.”A preliminary discussion on the report, according to the National Security Council meeting notes issued to media by the Governor’s Office has happened but it seems there was nothing strikingly new.“Whilst many of the identified priorities and recommendations mirrored existing TCIG security objectives, the report would serve as a key input in the development of a TCI National Security Strategy, the development of which the NSC committed itself to..”Funding and resources were key phrases as the NSC and Premier and Cabinet addressed national security, and a list of nine strides were cited in Premier Robinson’s statement as having been done by the PDM Government so far. Government has bought the building which will house the CCTV program and other new crime fighting initiatives; funding has been approved for more police officers, which includes managers of that CCTV project; $1.2M in additional police vehicles is approved and legislative support for the Police in these modern crime fighting initiatives is included.There is a move she said to repatriate people living in TCI illegally between Police and Immigration and already a paper for rehabilitation has been presented. The statement explained that dialogue with the Hotel and Tourism Association and the wider business sector is started on employment for ex-offenders and pastors and civic leaders are engaged to help in creating programs to help youth.#MagneticMediaNews Premier Speaks to ScotiaBank recent announcements

The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) this week issued a report titled, “The Renewable Fuel Standard: issues for 2014 and Beyond.” The report attempted to examine the economic impacts of several Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) scenarios. There were several positive conclusions in the report, including the fact that biofuels, corn ethanol specifically, do not have a significant impact on food prices, since the crops account for only a small fraction of U.S. spending on food. Rightfully so, the report does not cite any issues with biodiesel in the section on “Challenges in Meeting the Renewable Fuel Requirements of EISA.” The Biomass-based Diesel portion of the RFS has been met or exceeded each and every year with no significant adverse impact to fuel or feed prices.Unfortunately, one aspect of the report provides a distorted view of potential price impacts of biodiesel, and this has been highlighted by some RFS opponents and news outlets. The CBO modeled a price-impact scenario in the Advanced Biofuel pool that is unrealistic, impractical and not consistent how EPA has implemented the RFS in previous years. This scenario results in CBO suggesting that diesel prices could increase by 30-51 cents per gallon or 9-14 percent by 2017.CBO used a scenario in which EPA doesn’t reduce the overall Advanced Biofuel targets even if the production of significant volumes of cellulosic biofuels called for under the statute do not come to fruition, which results in the calculation of the price impacts of 9 billion gallons of biodiesel to fill all of the Advanced Biofuels requirements instead. In fact, EPA has utilized its authority to waive the unmet cellulosic portion of the RFS and the EPA and the biodiesel industry has called for reasonable and realistic volumes of biodiesel. There is no evidence to suggest that EPA would not continue to implement the RFS this way and there is no expectation that 9 billion gallons of biodiesel would be demanded to fill the entire volumes of Advanced Biofuel prescribed by the EISA statute enacted in 2007.The soybean and biodiesel industry has called for modest, steady growth in the biodiesel section of the program and the volumes we have supported have been met or exceeded each year of the RFS with no significant adverse impact to fuel or feed prices.In addition, the CBO report does not address the many benefits of the RFS. According to EPA’s own figures, biodiesel reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 57 percent to 86 percent compared with petroleum diesel. The RFS is working as intended to diversify domestic fuel refining and reduce emissions while creating jobs and boosting the rural economy.
Following the House passage of a bill that creates a national labeling standard for foods containing GMO ingredients, American Soybean Association (ASA) President Richard Wilkins, a soybean farmer from Greenwood, Del., recognized the House’s bipartisan work to provide certainty in the marketplace with the following statement:“The passage of this bill allows for both consumers and producers to move on from this fight, and benefit from a uniformed, standardized labeling law across the country. We believe this thoughtfully-crafted compromise provides consumers with the information they need, without stigmatizing a safe and sustainable food technology. We appreciate the support from House leaders to get us to this point. ASA and its state and regional affiliates now encourage President Obama to sign this bill into law. Its enactment will stop a potential patchwork of state labeling and providing farmers, producers, manufacturers and consumers peace of mind as they continue to enjoy America’s safe and affordable foods.”
