THE RICHMOND RED CROSS GOT SOME $20,000 IN DONATIONS THAT WERE ORIGINALLY EARMARKED TO THE LOCAL AREA, WHERE DONORS RE-DIRECTED THAT MONEY TO GO TO HAITI. RED CROSS SPOKESMAN BILL HARRISON SAYS THE RICHMOND AREA RESPONDED TREMENDOUSLY WITH ABOUT A HALF-MILLION DOLLARS IN DONATIONS FOR HAITI. HOWEVER -- PROBABLY BECAUSE OF THE ECONOMY -- A LOT OF CHECKS THAT MIGHT HAVE HAD SOME OF THE MONEY STAY HOME HAVE NOT CONTAINED THAT PROVISION. IN RESPONSE, THE RICHMOND RED CROSS HAS STARTED WHAT'S CALLED A "HEROES" PROGRAM. HARRISON SAYS IT'S ESSENTIALLY A PYRAMID WHERE SOMEON COMMITS TO RAISE $1000... THEN SENDS AN E-MAIL OR OTHER COMMUNICATION TO OTHER FRIENDS TO DO THE SAME. HE SAYS THEY'VE DONE WELL, WITH THE GOAL TO RAISE $200,000 BY THE END OF MARCH. HE SAYS THE RICHMOND CHAPTER HELPS SOME 1500 FIRE VICTIMS A YEAR, TRANSPORTS PEOPLE FOR FREE TO LIFE-SUSTAINING MEDICAL APPOINTMENTS, AND SERVICES FAMILIES OF MCGUIRE VETERANS CENTER PATIENTS WHO NEED TO STAY FOR LONG TIME PERIODS.

STORY DETAILS: THE SENATE COURTS OF JUSTICE COMMITTEE SHOOTS DOWN THE SO-CALLED "TRIGGERMAN" EXPANSION OF THE DEATH PENALTY. AND AS MATT DEMLEIN REPORTS --- IT HAS THE BILL’S SPONSORS WONDERING IF ITS WORTH THE EFFORT.

THE BILL WOULD HAVE ALLOWED SOMEONE WHO DID NOT FIRE A SHOT - BUT ORDERED A KILLING, TO RECEIVE THE DEATH PENALTY. THE SPONSORS HAVE OFTEN USED THE D-C SNIPER SHOOTING AS AN EXAMPLE OF WHY THIS WOULD BE NECESSARY. IN AN ATTEMPT TO GET IT THROUGH THE SENATE COMMITTEE, DEL. TODD GILBERT PROPOSED LIMITING IT TO SOMEONE WHO ORDERED THE KILLING OF A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER. BUT SEN. HENRY MARSH SAYS THE DEATH PENALTY DOESN’T NEED TO BE EXPANDED. GILBERT SAYS HE MAY WAIT UNTIL THE MAKE-UP OF THE COMMITTEE CHANGES BEFORE TRYING AGAIN.

CONTACT NUMBER: (If available)

=====================================================================

THE U.S. SUPREME COURT HEARD ARGUMENTS THIS WEEK ON WHETHER CHICAGO AREA LOCALITIES CAN HAVE LOCAL HANDGUN BANS... SIMILAR TO THE ONE IN D-C THE COURT STRUCK LAST YEAR. UNIVERSITY OF RICHMOND LAW PROFESSOR CARL TOBIAS (pron: toe-BYE-us) SAYS THIS CASE IS DIFFERENT BECAUSE D-C IS A FEDERAL ENTITY AND HAS NO LOCAL LAW. THE CURRENT CASE DECIDES IF STATES AND LOCALITIES CAN LEGISLATE 2ND AMENDMENT RESTRICTIONS. TOBIAS SAYS THE JUSTICES HAVE INDICATED -- IN THIS AND THE D-C CASE -- THAT THERE IS ROOM FOR LOCAL RESTRICTIONS. HOWEVER, IT'S POSSIBLE THE COURT COULD STILL TURN OVER THE LOCAL BANS. TOBIAS SAYS SUCH A RULING COULD LEAVE ALL RESTRICTIONS SUBJECT TO CHALLENGE ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS. HE SAYS THIS IS PARTICULARLY INTERESTING FOR VIRGINIA AS THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY ATTEMPTS TO REPEAL SOME GUN CONTROL RESTRICTIONS. MANY OF THOSE EFFORTS ARE BOTTLED UP IN A HOUSE SUBCOMMITTEE. TOBIAS SAYS EVEN IF THOSE DON'T PASS, RESTRICTIONS SOME LEGISLATORS WANT TO REPEAL COULD END UP IN COURT.

PARENTS MAY HAVE SOME CONCERNS ABOUT WHAT THEIR TEENAGER DOES ON FACEBOOK AND MY SPACE, BUT A NEW STUDY FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA SHOWS THAT THE PRESENCE OF ONLINE SITES FOR TEENS IS PRETTY MUCH AN EXTENSION OF THEIR FACE-TO-FACE LIVES WITH PEOPLE. THE STUDY FOLLOWED 172 13 AND 14 YEAR OLDS ABOUT EIGHT YEARS AGO, AND CONTINUED THEIR PROGRESS UNTIL JUST RECENTLY WHEN THEY ASKED TO FRIEND THEM IN THEIR EARLY 20S ON THE SOCIAL NETWORKING SITES. THE STUDY FOUND THAT THE MOST WELL ADJUSTED IN THEIR EARLY TEENS TENDED TO USE THE SOCIAL MEDIA SITES WHEN THEY REACHED THEIR EARLY 20S AS EXTENSIONS OF THE POSITIVE FRIENDSHIPS THEY HAD. WHILE THE TEENS WHO WERE LESS SOCIAL AND LESS WELL ADJUSTED EITHER DIDN'T JOIN FACEBOOK OR MY SPACE OR DID USE IT AND USED THE SITES IN NEGATIVE WAYS--EITHER BY USING PROFANITY OR POSTING LEWD PICTURES OF THEMSELVES OR OTHERS. AMORI MIKAMI, AN ASSISTANT PROFESSOR OF PSYCHOLOGY AT U-VA SAYS THAT PARENTS CAN USE THIS STUDY BY STAYING INVOLVED WITH THEIR CHILDREN AND MAKE AN ATTEMPT TO UNDERSTAND THEIR ONLINE WORLD.
