Professor couldn’t escape his past as an abusing priest – Richmond Times Dispatch: Petersburg.
I can’t say that I had the professor in question because my degree wasn’t in IT, but it does bring up several troubling questions. How did such a background pass VCU’s screening? As an alumni, this is the answer I’d like to receive from the school. Secondly, what steps can be taken to prevent this from happening again?
I hope VCU steps up to the plate and answers the questions.
I’ve driven by there before. Neat little place on the Eastern Shore of Virginia.
RIR dust-up brings community service order – Richmond Times Dispatch: Latest News.
Way to keep the bush league reputation of NASCAR alive, boys.
James River in James City County on endangered list – Richmond Times Dispatch: Virginia News.
I hope they don’t run that power line across their either. It’s gorgeous down there. While I’m not normally someone who complains about items to help our infrastructure, I do have issues with this.
Suffered a massive heart attack at the age of 51. My condolences go to his family.
on the TWA crash off Long Island in the 1990’s. I’ve been saying that for a while because they had one shot of the right of the plane and there was a perfectly round hole in the fuselage. Since that one broadcast they’ve done nothing but show the left side. Hmm..coincidence?
New charges obtained as trooper killing case proceeds to trial – Richmond Times Dispatch: Crime News.
This was a shame because the trooper was in his 60’s and only a couple months from retiring. The young ‘man’ who pulled the trigger took away a husband, father and grandfather from their family for his own selfish desires.
Capital Murder trials in Virginia, if convicted, lead to the death penalty. Having done jury duty before, I don’t envy the 12 who have to make the decision, but I hope this ‘man’ gets his just rewards for removing such a family man from this world.
According to the NTSB. Looks like Uncle Pete (Union Pacific Railroad) dropped the ball here and it cost lives.

In the interest of transparency, I have managed a Hardees’ before, which is a CKE brand. However, I never worked for CKE but for a franshisee.
Nothing in this article surprises me in the least. When the AFCA aka Obamacare was passed, I could see this coming. Of course people would be dropped to PT status (Even the State of Virginia is doing is) to prevent from having to provide insurance, because no fat cat is going to cut his or her money because of us. It’s that simple.
What makes me go “Do’oh!” is the fact that the people responsible for this say they couldn’t see this as a result. They say that they “thought that companies would be all for giving their employees insurance.” What planet have they been on? Of course it wouldn’t happen for what I said above.
That’s all I’m saying because I’ve promised to keep politics off my blog.
Edit-
I guess what bothers me is that, yes, the big boys are raking in the money and are given all the blame, but not the politicians that helped cause the situation. They’re given a free pass while the ‘1%’s’ are attacked. Hello! ALL OF THE LEADERSHIP IN DC ARE ONE PERCENTERS. From the President right on down..none of them are average Joes.
And, if my writing career is highly successful, I may end up as one, but I refuse to rape my customers to get that money either. When I have books to buy, you, my readers, pay my paycheck and I’ll never forget that. In fact, it’s what I told people for years when in retail and food service management. “The customer’s pay your paycheck. If not for them, you wouldn’t have one.”
I promise you, I won’t forget that fact.
