  • Treasury, HUD Submit Housing Reform Plans Federal Reserve Proposes
    In classic Greek mythology, a golden apple of discord inscribed "For the fairest" was awarded to Aphrodite, beginning a chain of events that led to the Trojan War. GrayRobinson's newsletter reports on the most recent issues, individuals, and discourse deemed fairest in Washington. September 6, 2019 . aaaand we’re back. How was your August? We are thankful that our offices in Melbourne and Jacksonville, among others, were spared the worst of Hurricane Dorian, but the hurricane season still has almost three months to run. Stay safe, everybody. Treasury, HUD submit housing reform plans Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson submitted two plans to the White House yesterday for ending the conservatorship of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, restructuring the government guarantees for housing loans, and protecting taxpayers from further liability. The Treasury report calls for almost 50 legislative changes to limit the government’s role in the secondary market, enhance taxpayer protections, and encourage private-sector competition. “At the same time, reform should not and need not wait on Congress,” the report said. The HUD plan would “refocus” the Federal Housing Administration on its “core mission of helping low- and moderate-income borrowers.” Mnuchin, Carson, and Federal Housing Finance Administration Director Mark Calabria will appear before the Senate Banking Committee next Tuesday to discuss the plans. Senate Banking Committee Chairman Mike Crapo (R- ID) said yesterday that many of the Treasury plan’s provisions corresponded to elements of his own proposal, and that he would prefer “to fix the housing finance system through legislation.” Federal Reserve proposes capital requirements for insurance companies that own banks Today the Federal Reserve published a long-awaited proposal to create a capital framework for the eight insurance companies that own banks.

How long is Stage 1 and Stage 2? Approximately 25-30 percent of the event’s total length. Stage lengths will be determined prior to the event. What are Points? They are the points awarded to the top-10 finishers of Stage 1 and Stage 2, and all finishers of the Final Stage. They are immediately added to a driver’s points total following a stage. What are Playoff Points? They are points awarded to the winner of each of the stages, as well as the top-10 drivers in points following the regular season. They will be added to a driver’s reset total only if that driver makes the playoffs. Who earns Points in Stage 1? Drivers who are running first through 10th at the conclusion of Stage 1 will receive points. Additionally, the winner of Stage 1 will receive one playoff point to carry into the playoffs.

  • Jose Osuna Honored As April International League Player of the Month
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 1, 2018 JOSE OSUNA HONORED AS APRIL INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE PLAYER OF THE MONTH The International League announced today that Indianapolis third baseman Jose Osuna has been named the League's Player of the Month for April. Along with winners from other leagues, Osuna will be presented with an award from Minor League Baseball in recognition of his performance last month. Through the first month of the 2018 campaign, Indianapolis third baseman Jose Osuna is hitting .361 and leading the International League in extra-base hits (12) and slugging (.656). He’s also tied for 2nd in the circuit in RBI (16), doubles (9), and total bases (40). Indy’s cleanup hitter has clubbed three home runs, which does not include the three-run blast he hit for Pittsburgh upon being promoted for a doubleheader on April 25. Osuna has been extremely reliable during his time with the Indians, hitting safely in all but one of his seventeen games played so far this season. He capped his stellar month with a three-hit, three-RBI, three-run contest at Toledo to help lead the Tribe roll past the division-leading Mud Hens, 10-7. All three of his long balls this season have been hit on the road, where he is batting .414 in eight games. Osuna becomes the first member of the Indians to be honored as IL Player of the Month since second baseman Alen Hanson in May of 2015. 25-year-old Jose Osuna is in his ninth season as a professional player. He was signed by Pittsburgh as a non-drafted free agent prior to the 2010 campaign.
