Oct 2, 2006 09:00 AM Forget co-op dollars. Forget rebates. When it comes to whitebooks, FUD is the new MDF—thanks to the continuing fallout from the Sony bad-battery kerfuffle. Lenovo last week became the latest PC maker to fall victim to explosive problems with defective Sony battery cells, as the Raleigh, N.C.-based PC maker announced it was recalling more than 500,000 notebook batteries with packs made by Sony. Dell and Toshiba, which earlier had announced their own callbacks of Sony batteries, each expanded the number of units involved.
The bell just rang, and 9-year-old Steven Torres is waiting to walk home with Mr. Gupton, the principal at Tumbleweed Elementary School in Phoenix.
Outside the school, Nick Gupton watches two buses fill with children. He waves and shouts, "Thanks for coming to school today!"
Then, he quickly makes his way to the field out back, where Steven is waiting, along with hundreds of other students. .
BYRON - The City Council may vote Monday on a rezoning request that has generated controversy and crowded meetings. More than 70 people - several having to stand outside a crammed meeting room - showed up Thursday as the city's planning and zoning commission voted unanimously to recommend rezoning for the 142-acre proposed New Haven subdivision. The Jonesboro-based Knight Group intends to build more than 500 single-family homes on the property off Ga. 42 and Rum Road. "You don't know us and we hope to do something very significant in your community," said Jay Knight, co-owner of the business. "We do not want to do anything negative to your community." Knight Group representatives stressed the amenities the subdivision will have and reassured Byron residents that they were not going to further complicate water runoff problems that have at times produced knee-high water in some yards after rains.
The housing market slowdown has prompted builders to seek price cuts from contractors in a bid to make new homes more affordable. By asking favorite contractors to charge less, or seeking bids from an expanded pool of contractors, builders hope to reduce costs by more than 10 percent. Contractors are playing ball because the alternative for them may mean no work. Builders are specifically trying to take advantage of a drop in lumber prices, which have fallen 6 percent in the last 12 months because of a slowdown in new-home construction, said Ken Simonson, a chief economist of the Associated General Contractors of America. With new-home closings falling four of the last five months in the valley, builders have cut back dramatically on home construction.
No one was injured after a crane tipped over at a construction site north of Manhattan. This picture was provided to us by Brad Hartenstein. It happened Thursday afternoon where a new building is being constructed for the Riley County Public Works Department.From what we've been told, the crane tipped as it was attempting to set a floor panel on the building site. A weight imbalance apparently caused the crane to tip over. No one was hurt. The new building, expected to be completed next spring, is at the corner of Highway 24 and Marlatt Avenue. When completed, the building will be used for vehicle and equipment maintenance for the Riley County Public Works Department. .
