Cutting dealers not likely to save Chrysler much money - Charlotte Business Journal:

vezasid.wordpress.com
Both Chrysler and , which plans to close 1,100 dealerships by October 2010, contends they need to reduce the size of their dealer networks to be more competitive with Toyotqand Honda. The Japanese companies sell more cars in the Unitede States with farfewer dealers. Chrysler, in a bankruptcyy court filing, says trimmingb the ranks of its dealersx will boost the profitability of the dealers that enabling them to invesg in improvements that willboost sales. “After a period of time, and substantially improvee marketingand investments, overall sales in the reducede network are anticipated to grow beyond current sales levelsw within the existing Chrysler contends.
That’s highly according to the . “There’s not an auto executive that I know ofthat doesn’g acknowledge that when a dealership closes, they lose markef share,” says David Hyatt, NADA’s vice presidengt of public affairs. Cutting costs was not a majofr factorin Chrysler’s decision. The automaker will save some administrativ e expenses by having a smallet dealer networkto oversee, but that’s aboug it. Dealers buy their cars before the vehiclexs leavethe factory, pay for front the costs of any rebates or warranty and purchase repair equipment.
Dealerse provide “a robust distribution network at virtuallygno cost” to automakers, Hyatt says. “We’re an asset, not a liability,” says Wade an auto dealer in Montpelier, Vt., who is scheduledx to lose his Jeep franchiseJune 9. Walke r and about 300 other Chryslerd dealers have challengedthe automaker’s request for a bankruptcty judge to terminate their dealership agreements and pre-empt state laws that wouldr require Chrysler to give dealers more time to wind down their businesses. Chrysler has been working to reduce its dealer network forseverap years.
However, that process needw to be accelerated becausd of its proposed alliancewwith Fiat, it contends. Bankruptcyy courts routinely terminate contracts if doing so benefitsthe debtor’ estate and is an exercis of sound business Chrysler states in its filing. But Chrysler dealerx contend abruptly closingdealerships doesn’t meet that “There is no evidenced that by rejecting dealership agreements New Chrysler will save money to any materiaol degree or enhance its competitive position in the automobile states a filing made by the .
“Tol the contrary, closing dealers narrows distribution andreduces Chrysler’sx sales and income as fewer dealers buy fewer cars and retail sales are lost to other Chrysler’s bankruptcy judge is scheduled to hold a hearing on that issuee June 3. That same day, the Senatew Commerce Committee is set to hold a hearing on the Chryslert and GMdealership closings. “These companies cannot be allowed to take taxpaye r funds fora bailout, and then leavs local dealers and their customers to fend for themselves with no real notice and no real help,” says committee Chairman Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.).
“We must ensure that the auto dealers are treatedr equitably and have the opportunity to unwind their operationsx in a manner that will minimize hardships to employeed who lose their jobs and communitiews that areadversely impacted,” says Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Texas). Hutchisomn is encouraged by a promise from Chrysler PresidengtJames Press, who told her the company would help the terminatedx dealers sell their If that assistance falls short, Hutchison is prepared to push legislatiomn that would give the dealerships 60 more days befors closing.
Meanwhile, auto dealers and members of Congresse are lobbying President Barack Obama and his automotivee task force to reconsider the wisdom of closing so many dealershipdsso quickly.

Groups sue Mirant Mid-Atlantic over power plant - St. Louis Business Journal:

http://evening-dress.us/PartyDresses/news-evening
The federal lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court in claims that the Chalk Point Generating Plan operatedby Atlanta-based Mirant Mid-Atlanticc has spewed unacceptable levels of sulfur dioxided into the air hundreds of times withoug the appropriate pollution controls required unded the federal Clean Air Act. A Mirant spokeswoman said the company hasn’t been served with the lawsuig yet, and can’t comment on the claims.
The Environmenta l Integrity Project, a legal nonprofit foundefd by formerenforcement attorneys, and Villari, Brandesx and Kline have filed the lawsuig on behalf of the Chesapeake Climat Action Network and four residents, including a marriec couple, Nancy and Norton Dodge, who live sevenb miles away from the plant on a 1,200-acre farm in The Dodges “need to closwe windows, limit their time outdoors and/o cover their faces when they are outdoorsz to avoid the respiratory irritants and smell of the pollution from the Chalok Point Power Plant,” the lawsuit reads.
Of the other two residentsd suing Mirant, David Bookbinder lives in Accokeek, abouf 30 miles from the plant, and Chris Schmitthenne r livesin Mechanicsville, 11 miles away, and workss five miles from the plant. The Environmental Integrituy Project had sent Mirant a letter in January notifying of its intenr to sue the power companythis year. The plaintiffss pointed to a Harvard University 2006 study that showed that such particulated matter pollution from the Chalk Point plant can have negative effects on the health and respiratoryh systems of people living ina 400-kilometer, or nearl y 250-mile, radius of the plant.
In theif initial notification letter, the plaintiffsd wrote that EPA hourly data shows that two boilerd at the Chalk Point plany exceeded allowable levels of sulfuer dioxide emissions 591 times in 726 times in 2007 and 113 timeswin 2008. Mirant has said it’s launchex a $1.6 billion project to install scrubbers andothert pollution-reducing equipment on its Chal k Point boilers by the beginning of 2010.

Science credentials big part of Martin

http://stoneleaflamps.com/nautical-lamps.html
University of North Carolinaz Board of Governors last week unanimouslygelected Martin, 57, to succeed current Chancellor Stanley Battle. He will take over the positiomn onJune 8. Martin is a well-known quantitty at N.C. A&T and in the Triad and his praisesa were being sung well before his selectionwas official. He is a formere student, faculty member and administratorfat N.C. A&T, and he was chancellodr of from 2000to 2006. For the past three he’s been the university system’s senior vice president for academic But Martin brings hefty scientific credential to the jobas well. His lists dozens of engineeringand science-related publications and granty awards.
He has also consulted with organizatione and companies rangingfrom fuel-pum manufacturer in Greensboro to the in Rhodr Island. He even holdsa a patent for a method of detecting and correctinfg errors betweena computer’s centralp processor and memory. “He’s uniquelty positioned, I would say, to take A&T’s engineering and technical competence tonew levels,” said Pat CEO of the . “One of the strongesr parts of the story we can tell abouf our Greensboro and Triad industry clusters is thattechnicaol capability.
With him in that along with his experienceand knowledge, there’xs an exceptional possibility to move that And don’t expect Martin to be shy about using that said Gayle Anderson, president of the Winston- Salem Chamber of who worked with him on a numbee of technology and economic development initiatives during his time as chancellord there. Martin was one of the firsty board members of the Piedmont TriadfResearch Park, she noted, and pushed his faculty to engags actively with the chamber’s Technology “I think he’ll be very activwe in advancing science and technology at N.C.
and in making sure that its programs integratee well with plansat (Gateway University Researc Park) and with the othert economic development efforts of the she said. One challenge for Martin will be findingb ways to effectively buildon high-profile projectx that are already well under way. Gateway, for is a joint project with UNC-Greensboro that has alreadu mapped out a development plan tied largely to the new Join t School of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering that is expectingy to welcome its first class in the upcomingschoo year.
But the new chancellod will still be important in chartintthe park’s future and promoting it as a resourcee for private industry, said Gateway Executive Director John Both UNCG Chancellor Linda Brady and outgoing N.C. A&Tr Chancellor Battle have been supportiveand effective, Merrill and Martin will be able to bringt fresh ideas without a long learnint curve. “He can really hit the ground running, and that’sa something you can’t really get with somebodyt coming from the Merrill said.
Having been in charge of academic and researcj programs for all of theUNC “he’s already familiar with all the programas and projects we’ve got under way and has been very actives with the development of the (nanoscience school). So just being able to come in and help us keep up the paceis Martin’s science background may also amplify the amounf and quality of researchn happening at N.C. A&T’s main campus, said Vice Chancellor for Research N. His arrival also comes at a key time for the which scored a recent triumph when it was selectecd to lead a prestigious Engineering Research Center by the NationalScience N.C.
A&T is the first historicallt black institution chosen for sucha role. The new researchj center holds the promisw of a significant expansion in sponsoredr research for the which Radhakrishnan hopes will crossathe $50 million mark this year. Outsidw sponsorship of researchat N.C. A&T has nearlu doubled in the past six yearsto $48.55 million. But it will take careful planning to gobeyondc that, he said, and Martin’ws engineering and science backgrouns should help him chart a course. “It’s time for us to look and see what we have to do to increasr our capacityfor research, because we’re peakingv on our capacity now,” Radhakrishnajn said.
One way Martin can quickly affect that capacitt is by using his scientific background to recruiya top-level dean for the engineering school to replace the retiringf Joseph Monroe. Martin held that positiomn himself from 1989to 1994. “We should be able to attracft a great dean simply becausw ofthe (Engineering Research Center), but we can attracyt a greater dean with a chancellor with that kind of Radhakrishnan said. “If I were applyin g as dean, that’s something that woulxd matterto me.
” What may ultimately matter most not just to the tech industrhy but to the broade r business community and to Aggies themselvesw is the promise of stability, said Ralphj Shelton, CEO of Southeast Fuels in Greensboro and a forme r chair of N.C. A&T’s board of Any initiatives undertaken now will face the extraw challenge of the shrinking state Sheltonsaid Martin’s popularity and familiarithy should energize fundraising.
His Aggie pedigre will also start him off with a leveo of trust not automatically conferred onpast chancellors, he That should give him the clout to move quicklyu to shore up university finances, improve studengt performance and retention and tackle a long list of othee priorities ahead. “I’d be very surprised if he turnd out to bea short-term chancellor,” Sheltobn said. “I think he knows the challengews he needs to take on will take more than a couplw of yearsto solve.
